IZEA CEO Ted Murphy: "It's Taken Probably Three Years for People to Warm Up to What We Do"
PRNewser has covered the debate around "sponsored conversations" aka sponsored blog posts, so naturally we had to catch up with someone who is at the center of the debate, IZEA founder and CEO Ted Murphy.
Murphy, whose company used to be called PayPerPost, recently told us that the name change was "more about our growth than PR. As the company has matured we have launched different products that didn't make sense under the PayPerPost name." See here for our recent coverage of the "sponsored conversation" debate, which recently moved forward via an official report from Forrester Research, followed by a response from Google.
Murhpy told us that IZEA's "sponsored conversation" offering will soon be expanding to Facebook and Twitter, which raises questions about disclosure and authenticity. He also mentioned that it's been somewhat of a long slog for the company to get to this point, saying, "It's taken probably three years for people to warm up to what we do."

Fuessen Hotels
Füssen General Information
Bavaria's gorgeous Ostallgäu district is a pretty enclave of Germany on the other side of Tyrol, Austria. Home to lush alpine foothills, lakes and bucolic countryside, Ostallgäu has a beautiful gem in the town of Füssen. ... Read more »
A tidy hamlet of less than 15,000 people, Füssen is a marvelous place to enjoy the best of Bavaria, from picture-postcard views to fairy tale architecture and traditional cuisine. The prominent Romantic Road stop has a long history and indeed, was a former outpost of the Roman Empire and later, a summer sanctuary for nobles and royalty. Today, Füssen draws tourists to premier attractions like Saint Mang's Basilica, with fresco art from the late 10th century, and come December, one of the best Christmas markets in Bavaria. The two main tourist magnets however, actually reside 3 to 4 km from Füssen. Two castles, Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau, reign supreme in Germany as perhaps the most popular attractions in the country. Neuschwanstein is famous as the 19th century Romanesque Revival masterpiece built by Ludwig II of Bavaria in full view of Hohenschwangau, the castle built by his father Maximilian II. Both elicit hundreds of thousands of tourists to pass through Füssen every year.

Proximity Card Reader Applications
Readers have the ability to accept two times of proximity cards: passive and active. Passive cards are the most widely used and are powered by radio frequency signals which are picked up by the reader unit. These have a limited range and must be held close to the reader. The most common use of these systems is for access to office buildings, library cards, public transit fares and contactless payment systems. Active cards utilize an internal lithium battery and have an impressive range up to 500-feet. These types of cards are commonly used for vehicle entrance through security gates as well as automated toll collection.
There are many additional applications for the two types of proximity readers and associated cards. First, many hotel chains are switching from the electronic magnetic strip system to a proximity card system. This allows for quicker access to the room, less issues with the magnetic strips and a more secure door. Second, for similar reasons, many homes and businesses are making the switch. Many major companies utilize a proximity card system for security and safety measures to track which employee enter the building at which specific time. Third, with improved capabilities of these cards, many mass transit systems are converting to fare collection without the need to swipe a card. This improves the flow of foot traffic and improves the speed of entrance through turnstiles.
A Variety of Proximity Card Readers
For the customer who needs a home or office proximity reader, we offer a ranges of readers, cards and associated accessories to fit any budget. On this page, you can search readers and cards by manufacturer, price, category, number of users, bit format, type of entry and handling.
We have keypad mechanisms, standalone units, readers that are affixed to a lock and keypad, proximity adhesive tags, proximity key-fobs and bundled systems. For an office or business, we offer bundles of keys in a variety of increments including: single, 10-pack, 25-pack, 50-pack and 100-pack. For the cards, we offer numerous designs and styles for a more customizable experience.
Many customers do not replace an entire system. If an issue arises, they focus on that specific door or lock and improve it with reader units. However, over time, many return to purchase additional readers and accessories for their system. Search our comprehensive list of proximity componentry to find what fits your budget. Whether you require a large number of proximity units and accessories or just one, we have the products you require to create a new entry system for you, your family or your employees.
Thanks for choosing Buy Access!

Perion Network's CEO Discusses Q3 2011 Results - Q&A Session Transcript
Nick Halen – Sidoti & Company
$6 million to $7 million. Okay, all right. Great, thank you guys.
The next question is from Christopher Ferris of Noble Financial. Please go ahead.Christopher L. Ferris – Noble Financial Group, Inc. Hi guys. Thank you for taking the question. You touched a little bit on the lower search in the quarter, and I was wondering is that kind of a number we should expect to see going forward over the next couple of quarters down mid single digits number or is that a one-time item in the quarter? And then, I think next question you kind of touch on this, but I was just curious about the customer acquisition cost and if you could drill down a little bit more there and is that sort of the run rate we should expect going forward for the next couple of quarters? Josef Mandelbaum Sure. Nice to have you on the phone call, Chris. Christopher L. Ferris – Noble Financial Group, Inc. Yeah. Thank you. Josef Mandelbaum I'll answer the first one in order. So, the answer is that as we looked at the business of the searches to date, we believe it was a one-time issue as we adjusted it to a) Google's changes. I think if you look at a lot of comps out there, there are a lot of companies that had a little bit of a dip as you have to kind of readjust to the new terms of service. We're already seeing, we're in the middle of Q4, so we are already seeing the uptick. So we don't expect, we expect Q4 to be much stronger than Q3. We think it's one-time, and the bug from one of our partners, it happens sometimes. There was bug in one of our partners we had and now it caused us some issues and we think we had passed it. So we think going forward, we shouldn't see a decrease in our single-digits on a going forward basis, that's number one.

I was getting a little stressed for you with the BBB experience, but what a blessing that it all worked out! Your daughter looked beautiful.
I'm enjoying your report. It's lots of fun to read about Disney World from the "keys" of someone who is a first timer.
Keep it coming! I'm looking forward to the rest!

We are doing CRT on our trip. I thought about taking DD to BBB first but I had not really considered all the traveling involved there.
I am glad you guys made it in time!

Photo Chick -
I would not advise anyone against doing BBB and then CRT. As a matter of fact, it was as great princess theme day for her to be primped as a princess and then go hang with some.
I would advise to try and put a little more time between BBB and CRT than I did. And, of course, don't waste time before your BBB appointment looking for it in the wrong park. I had BBB at 10:30 and CRT at 12:10. I think a 10:00 BBB and a 12:30 CRT would be perfect! (Obviously some similar span of time between the appointments would work just as well.)

Her problem is she knows she's cute. There are so many times that her actions make me look at her face and search for the cuteness. Where'd it go? I remember thinking it was there, but I just can't see it when she's being a brat!
Proudmommy -
IMHO, these are the absolute perfect ages for a first trip. They are old enough to retain it in their memories, but they are still young enough to be completely wow'ed by it. You better write up a TR!

Okay - I have one postscript to my last day before I compose my next entry. I can't believe I forgot this!
When we were in the Splash Mountain line, there were a couple of boys in line with us who looked to be about 16 or so. They both had on black t-shirts. One had shaggy hair (I don't think you're allowed to be a teenage boy without shaggy hair these days) and the other one was pierced. I figured them to be in the park just for the wilder rides.
I was telling DD that I didn't think we would have to time for everything I wanted to do. I told her if we didn't make it onto It's a Small World, it would be okay. Of course she was fine with this because she has no clue what anything is.
The shaggy boy overheard me and he said, "You can't come to Disney World and skip and It's a Small World! It's obligatory!"
The dear, sweet boy was Disney fanatic after all! See - this proves that stereotyping is a crapshoot at best.
I felt kind of embarrassed that I had suggested it out loud. So I smiled and said, "You're right - we might have to do whatever it takes to squeeze it in." And in my heart I knew he was right. Even if DH and DS didn't get on it with us, DD and I should try to make it.
And if you read my last entry you know already that we did! I just loved that that teenage boy found it necessary to pipe up about my plans.
More later! Thanks again to all who are reading.

Chapter 4: Saturday at MGM
I'm actually going to start this chapter on Friday night. After the kids came back to the hotel room from the pool, DS felt sick.
My kids and my brother:
Sure enough, he tossed his cookies. Poor little guy! I was so upset for him. The next day was our planned day to go to MGM and I was wondering if he would make it at all. He woke up once in the night around 2 or 3 and got sick a little more. In the morning he was a little queasy, but mostly better. We agreed that DH would stay in the room with DS and I would take DD to MGM. We thought that by noon, they'd be able to make it to the park. But we all agreed – no R&RR or TOT. Poor kid!
So DD and I head out.
There is a 10 minute wait for R&RR – but she is 1/8" too short! Now I'm bumming because I have no one to swap with. Well, how self-absorbed am I? My kid's sick in a hotel room and wah-wah – poor me. I can't ride the roller coaster I want to. So I buck up and take her over to TOT.
Now this kid is no shrinking violet. She loves scary stuff. She loves to scare other people. She's pretty gross in general. (Hence her fondness for Lilo and Stitch.) So I thought TOT would rattle her cage but that she'd be fine.
I could not purchase our photo from this ride because it made me feel like a bad mom. The drops really scared her! In the picture she is cowering and I am looking down at her. (Well, at least there's proof on film that I cared that I was scarring my child's psyche for life. Still – a good mom wouldn't scar the kid's psyche in the first place, would she?) So I'm feeling like an all-around loser of a mom on this day.
Alright, next up is the Great Movie Ride. I figure it's got to be tame. On our way there we walk right into my dad, stepmom, and brother. They're on their way to R&RR. My dad did not like BTM the previous day at MK, so he's going to sit out. Heh-heh-heh. This means I can ride with my stepmom and little brother! Yippee!
So we get in line and we have an absolute blast – even my stepmom who was a little anxious about whether or not it would be too much for her. I bought that picture because it's the three of us and there have been long periods of estrangement between them and me in our lives and I think it's pretty cool that we did this thing together. Plus, there's 19 years between my brother and I making it hard for us to find a lot of common ground. But we found some on a theme park ride. Who knew? My brother and I waited an extra couple of minutes to sit in the front and my stepmom sat behind us. I felt slightly nauseous at one point for about 4 seconds. The rest was all good. I loved that coaster!
Then it occurred to me – I'll bet DD told my dad about how terrified she was on TOT. So I prepared my stepmom and my brother to hear from him about how I tortured her by taking her on that thing. In my defense, I didn't do it because I didn't care whether or not she could handle it. I honestly thought my tough as nails kid would chew that thing up and spit it out. I told them that I bet she detailed the entire frightening encounter for him and that I felt bad about it, just so they might cut me some slack.
So now we're off to the Great Movie Ride – just my dad and my DD and I while my stepmom and my brother go to TOT. As we're walking up, out come a ton of characters! I got totally geeky. I really wanted DD to get a few pictures with characters that weren't princesses and I also wanted her to have an age-appropriate moment after the mental anguish I put her through on TOT. We had to wait in line a bit, but only for a few minutes. She got to meet Mickey and Pluto!
She wanted to meet "the ducks" (she didn't even know their names!) and Stitch. But my dad was waiting for us to go on The Great Movie Ride. So we went in there instead. There was a long line for that thing. By the time we got near the front my stepmom and brother were in line in the back! And then DH called my dad to say that he and DS were in the park, too. I was so glad. I really wanted DS to make it to this park. And it was only around 10:30, so he would still have a good long day at MGM.
So now with a few character autographs and photos under our belt and my DS beating his bout with tummy troubles things were looking up! My dad really enjoyed The Great Movie Ride and I did, too. DD was grateful there were no sudden drops. So it was okay by her.
When we got outside, DH and DS were there and I was just so happy the four us would be doing this park together. They had done Star Tours which wasn't the best on DS's stomach, I guess. (I never did do it – mostly because they said it was a little nauseating and I didn't want to go down, too.) But they are both Star Wars freaks so they would've gone on that ride no matter what.
DH had the skivvy on the characters. They were coming back out in a few minutes! So I asked DD who she wanted to meet the most and she picked the ducks that she didn't even know the names of over Stitch! Go figure! So we met "the ducks"
and DS got to meet his fave – Goofy. (I only have pictures of that on photopass, though, and haven't gotten my disk yet.) I thought my stepmom would be annoyed, but she wanted to try and meet the Chipmunks. So that worked out.
We all went into Narnia together which was mediocre. Then we took The Backlot Tour which DS and DH liked more than DD and I. We grabbed some lunch and then decided to split up. After Philharmagic, I really wanted to take in the Muppets 3-D movie and my dad, stepmom, and brother weren't up for it. We decided to meet up later for the stunt show. But after the movie (which I would have liked more if I had seen it before Philharmagic and not after), I decided that DD and I didn't need an afternoon full of stunt shows. One would suffice for us girls. So I sent DH and DS to meet my stepmom and dad and brother while we took in Beauty and the Beast.
"Four for a Dollar" knocked my socks off. Love them! I wish I would've bought their CD. DH loves that kind of music and I regretted not bringing him. He loves musicals of all kinds so he probably would have liked the B&TB production as well. But since I knew DS would not appreciate it and DH would pick a stunt show over a musical 9 days out of 10, I figured we had made the right choice.
Next I took DD to see The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. I loved the luminescent puppets used for "Under the Sea." It was a cute little production. I think DD would have liked it better a year ago. But it was fine. And better for her than 2 stunt shows.
We were supposed to meet the rest of the gang for Indiana Jones next. But the parade cut off all our routes. So I put DD up on my shoulders and let her catch it. It was really the only parade we caught. I could see none of it because I'm not even five feet tall. But I felt I owed her this for the whole TOT episode. She's almost seven and I'm 112 pounds, so holding her up there was tough. But my shoulders were shored up with equal parts guilt and love. Right at the end a guy in front of us motioned for DD to come and stand in front of him. After the parade he told me that if he'd known we were there, she would have been welcome to stand there the whole time. I told him it was my own fault because I hadn't planned on watching so we hadn't invested any time in staking out a good spot, but that I really appreciated his kindness. What a super guy. I was feeling the co-guest magic.
So we get to IJ and DH tells me to go get FP. I'm confused because they're for a few hours from now. He then takes them up to the FP line and we all walk in. I figured maybe he begged a CM to let us in, perhaps regaling them with the tale of DS's sickness and how we'd really like to get in. No – he just put our fast passes with the later times underneath and flashed the ones with the current time on top. Now, if I had known this before going in I would have not walked in. (Which is probably why he didn't tell me until after we were in.) I do not endorse any such behavior at all. But I have to admit that I was glad we were together again.
We had great seats front and center and DD was flirting with a little toddler guy behind us. And they are picking audience members to participate. DH wants this real bad. When I was pregnant with DS we went to Sea World and DH got to participate in the Shamu show. And when we were on the backlot tour he was really disappointed he didn't get to participate in that one. So he's waving and trying to get picked…and he does! He's such a stinker that way. He's got tons of charisma and he knows how to work it. They asked everyone to do the funky chicken and his was the funkiest (he can really dance – you should see a 230 pound man do the worm) so he got to act out a death scene.
DH and DS had to go back to the Star Tours store. DS had gotten a large toy in the morning so we told him he was done. DH had to get a cap and he was eyeing up a Star Wars watch. It was nice. I wanted him to have it. But I was thinking about the money. He had the cap, after all. It was like pulling teeth to get them out of there. I got mad and left and they still didn't come. We had to take pictures of everyone on this Star Wars vehicle – don't ask me what it's called because I'm a bad wife and I don't follow my DH's and DS's interests that closely.
After that we went into The Magic of Disney Animation and took the drawing class.
Then we got to meet The Incredibles. DH has a brother who's just like Mr. Incredible – okay, he's more of a cross between Sulley and Mr. Incredible. Just for reference, here is DH's bro:
So these characters were really special to us and I'm totally bummed the pictures didn't turn out better. The lighting was really funky in there!
It was getting chilly now and I knew we would stay for Fantasmic because DS's stomach was cooperating. The kids had sweatshirts but I didn't so I bought one that I absolutely love. It has an '07 applique on it and it's so soft on the inside. And this shop had the Star Wars watch in it, too. I told DH to get it. He didn't say much but I could tell he was really happy.
We walked through Walt Disney: One Man's Dream and I loved seeing all the castles at the centers of all the other Disney parks all over the world. But it was too museum-ish for my kids to appreciate so we hightailed it out of there pretty quick before our whining children wrecked everyone else's time.
We found some good pizza for dinner and got some delicious bakery for dessert. Naturally, DD dropped hers on the ground! I almost fell over and died of not-surprised. (Possibly my most over-used Disney quote in day-to-day life). DS didn't finish his because his stomach was not 100% yet. DH got a turkey leg. We also all got delicious cookies/bakery for dessert from that fantastic place on the corner that this newbie was too stupid to jot down the name of. You know the one I mean. I think it's sponsored by Nestle.
We bumped into my dad and stepmom there. They had parked there knowing we'd have to go by to get to Fantasmic. By this time my brother had gone to meet up with the cheerleaders from his high school (he graduated last June) who were competing. I think they were at DTD. A brief aside here: I kind of wanted to meet up with them because their coach is an old high school friend of mine. We were the dateless dorks in high school who used to spend our Fridays eating vanilla frosting on graham crackers with Ore-Ida French fries while we watched The Sound of Music. I kid you not. If her high school cheerleading squad knew this they would probably be forced to oust her as their coach. So don't let on.
(Here is proof we were geeks - I am the second from the left and my friend the cheerleading coach is the second from the right. This is where we met - in marching band! She got a white plume in her hat for being a supreme geek i.e. sergeant of the flag twirlers. This photo was taken 7/4/1986 - I scanned the negative without turning on the option to remove dust. D'OH!)
Okay - back on topic: We all got in line for Fantasmic and, boy-howdy, was psyched for this. It was, of course, an hour before showtime and the line for TOT was only 20 minutes or so. I told DH he had to go. He was unsure if he should leave us but I really wanted him to do that ride because of the special effects. So the line moves forward and when DH comes out we're halfway down the walkway. We're telling him where we are, but we don't realize he's already walked by us! So after a comedy of errors we finally link up and go in together.
I think this might be the 1st shot of my dad I've posted. He's on the far left.
We all enjoyed this show so much but at the end we were beat and ready to go home. Plus it was a little chilly and DS was especially ready for bed. What had started out as a rocky day turned out to be truly great with a little bit for everyone.
Next up: Sunday at Epcot and Princess Breakfast. Subtitle: It is impossible for us to take a leisurely walk up to an ADR for a character meal and arrive early.

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Credicorp Ltd. rose the most in two months as investors bet that Peru's largest financial-services provider will report profit that beats analysts' estimates.
Credicorp climbed 3 percent to $117.06 at 2:20 p.m. in Lima and gained as much as 4.5 percent, the steepest intraday rise since Nov. 30.
"It's speculation the company's going to post better results than people were expecting," said Leoncio Altamirano, a trader at Lima-based brokerage Juan Magot y Asociados SAB. "Peru hasn't really felt the effects of the global crisis. The shares probably will keep gaining to about $120."
Credicorp probably had fourth-quarter profit per share excluding items of $2.11, up from $1.65 a year earlier, according to the average estimate of six analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Results are scheduled for release tomorrow.

How to Ask for What You WantExcellence can be obtained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than others think is possible. ~Unknown
In my quest to actively create a personal and professional life that offers me all the things and experiences I desire, I've begun to notice the discrepancy between what I believe I deserve and what I actually ask for.
My conscious mind is in tune with my greatest attributes and I feel as if I've always had some degree of appreciation for what I am capable of contributing to a relationship or a job. I believe that I am monetarily worth a significant amount.
Yet, when it comes to asking for what I believe I deserve, I state my bare minimum and offer it up for negotiation. Then, I brood over being completely unappreciated.

I took my car into Firestone. One of the recommendations that they came back with for my car is a fuel system cleaning. Its about an $89 service. Honestly I'm not exactly sure what they do for this service. Its something about "chemically cleaning the fuel injection system." They claimed that the throttling was a little sluggish in my car. I haven't noticed any difference although I don't really pay that much attention and can't really tell that my car was sluggish. Is this cleaning worth it? I guess a cleaning is a cleaning and it won't hurt. Its just one of those things that you really wonder if its a complete rip off or not because you'll probably never notice a difference.

2007 Honda Accord Question: Is it really worth performing a fuel system cleaning?
Answer #1rpclements February 21, 2013, 09:49Journeyman
Try yourself- really simple. Pick up bottle of seafoam from your local autoparts store ($10) and follow directions on bottle.
Best Answer
robertgrove from WeGo2U Mobile Mechanic, February 21, 2013, 11:20Technician
First of all the answer is yes, it is worth performing a fuel system cleaning, if it is done completely and correctly, however there are different types of cleaning services.
Most of the time they are not performing a complete cleaning service, and in fact they are not cleaning the fuel system they are cleaning the intake system - they probably don't even know the difference.
I do not like the sales tactics used by many Franchise type repair shops to sell an otherwise legitimate service, making it sound like you have a problem and making it sound like they are doing more than they are. A truly complete and thorough service is time consuming and much more costly than $89, done right it is worth every penny!
All internal combustion engines build up carbon deposits in the intake manifold, throttle plates, backs of the intake valves, top of the pistons and the fuel injectors.
The most common cleaning service is a chemical drip, that is the bottle of chemical is attached via a hose to the intake and with the engine running the chemical is drawn into the engine trough the intake, past the valves and into the combustion chamber.
That is what you will get for $89, and if the tech physically cleans the throttle plates with chemical and a brush prior to doing the drip then it is a good service and good value, however, this does NOT clean the fuel system (nothing is going through the injectors, unless they add a can to the gas tank)and one can of chemical isn't enough in most cases to do the job thoroughly.
The only way the fuel system can be cleaned is by running chemical through the fuel injectors, either by adding it to the tank or running the engine from special equipment that is hooked into the fuel lines on your car and runs the chemical into the injectors.
A "complete fuel system cleaning" consists of two parts, a top engine clean and a fuel injection clean.
At best a drip service is a minor top engine cleaning, if they physically clean the throttle plates at the same time, it is a good value and will help, not hurt your car or pocket book.
The next best service is a thorough top engine/throttle body cleaning: the throttle plates are physically cleaned with chemical and a brush, then while the engine is running the chemical is flooded into the intake a little at a time until the engine stalls (this wets the carbon on the valves and pistons) and after letting the chemical soak for 15-20 minutes the engine is started back up and run with the chemical drip, burning off the loosened carbon and excess chemical. The whole process take about an hour and uses two-three cans of chemical, and no way will you get this for $89, the chemical alone is nearly that much.
A can of chemical can be added to the tank for cleaning the injectors, this is the best value and will clean the injectors over a period, of time but if they are really dirty (you would notice symptoms like hesitation, stalling, misfire) it is not as effective as cleaning the injectors with special equipment by running chemical thru the injectors while the car is running.
The most complete (and costly) is combining the top engine clean i described above and hooking up special equipment the run chemical thru the injectors, the high concentration of chemical thru the injectors cleans the fastest and best (on the car).
A minor Throttle body and drip cleaning is a good service about every 60k mile on any car, a more thorough top engine clean around 150k or if the car is run short distances and lots of stop and go traffic.
Ad a can of 100% Techron to your tank every so often should keep the injectors clean. i only recommend injector clean with special equipment when i have identified driveability problems related to the fuel delivery.
That's a lot of info, sorry if it makes your head spin!
Bottom line: not all mechanics and services are created equal

no............If you've been doing proper maint. it is not necessary. if done correctly as robertgrove suggests , it can't hurt , but if done carelessly , it can do damage to catalyst later on. Your car , your call.....Maybe a tankful of premium every so often would help.
Replyrobertgrove, February 21, 2013, 18:49Technician
Certainly use caution! The top engine cleaning procedure I mentioned should be done by a professional.
Good gas (I like Chevron), regular oil changes, and occasional fuel additives (Sea Foam or Techron) is important to follow and will minimize but NOT eliminate carbon build up.
Even with good maintenance there is ALWAYS carbon build up, especially at the throttle plates, valves and piston tops. Buying good gas like Chevron and using Techron or Sea Foam every so often could reduce or eliminate the need to do the intrusive injector cleaning with special equipment, but it just won't take care of the throttle plates, valves and intake build up.
Even with proper maintenance, a top engine clean is valuable preventative service, waiting until there is a problem is like waiting to change your oil until it goes bad, you can do it, but I don't recommend it!
Premium gas is not "better" than regular, it has the same additives, the only difference is the burn rate - regular burns quicker and premium burns slower require different ignition timing.
Just my two cents.... coming from 35 years of professional hands on experience

I agree , but it is VERY hard to find techs willing to take the time(all trying to 'beat' the flat-rate) to perform the service properly as you stated.

If your car is performing as it should with no noticeable loss of mpg, dont mess with it. That's my poinion and may be wrong!
Replyrobertgrove, February 21, 2013, 18:58Technician
The service mentioned is preventative in nature when done prior to a problem and can help reduce/prevent longer term issues, why wait until the MPG drops or symptoms like hesitation and cold start/stall symptoms show up, better to be preventative don't you think?
It isn't required, but it really is a good service - if done properly! Just a can of cleaner dripping into the intake is like change changing your oil filter and leaving the old filter oil in the pan!
Robert Grove
Replypushrod, February 21, 2013, 20:16Master
I agree in part, i too pressure clean the system when needed but don't sell the service as some chain store repair shops do.Depends on a lot of variables, here in rural Va. for instance, vehicles are driven longer distances from point a to b. Not much stop and go traffic! So when a customer needs the service along with a good tune up then absolutely i do it. Along with (OIL and FILTER) change if requested.
It is good PM though just depends on geographic location i guess as to what folks are willing to pay for. Indicative of this page.
We sell a lot of the Techron additive to our customers and encourage it's continued use. It's a little more tangible. Been at this a good while myself. (39) yrs. Man,-- maybe too long!

"I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did." - Ron PaulSubmitted by Peace Gold Love on Fri, 11/09/2012 - 11:18
Paul took his message to campuses such as the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Texas at Austin -- both located in liberal hotbeds -- during this year's campaign. He drew thousands of people to the Berkeley and Austin events.
As for why he's leaving the U.S. House, Paul said, "I think people had enough of me. I do not have much confidence in the political system and never did."

We need to become the political system
and then destroy it.
Government used to be for the people by the people.
It is something else now, a monstrous controlling multi headed corporation that values nothing more than PROFIT.
If the people want their own government they will have to let this monster die by not feeding any more of the people's tax dollars. Build and buy local. Build your house slowly as you can afford to. No longer deal in any credit. Live simple within your means. No credit buying. Refuse to fight wars! That is big corporate income. Do not use obamacare! Look after your own health. If you can, give up eating industrial-farmed animals for food. Give up flesh, grow your own food as much as possible.
Form a new nation for the people by the people. Start at the grassroots. Stay local. Help each other.
Have to agree
The way I see it is, the political system has been hijacked to create a government that is nothing more then the consolidation of privately owned corporations.
Luke 3:38
Isaiah 43:3-5
well i never thought I'd disagree with the good Dr.
but I have to disagree with the good Dr. Sure the Federal Political System is fractured but look at whats going on in the states. WA and CO legalized MJ. Nullification's in my home state, UT legalizes Gold and Silver. its all starting quite rapidly within the local level and that my friend is only the beginning. Im sure after this election their will be many great things for Liberty to come.
You know your leading your community in the right direction when your state disobeys Federal Law.
His name is Edward Snowden
What is Capitalism?
They aren't disobeying federal law until they effectively
nullify it.
And by effectively, I mean they are willing and actually do, deploy state police, sheriffs, and guardsmen to defend the inalienable rights of their Citizens against unlawful federal lethal force.
Until they begin arresting federal agents acting under color of law, until they start staring down gun to gun, federal assassination squads to defend the life, liberty and property of their inhabitants, then this is all Pollyannish Bravo Sierra.
Mind you, shooting doesn't have to happen. No one wants it to. But the States have to be prepared to do their job, and the Feds have to be willing to stick within the confines of the Constitution.
If either of those fails, then we either get revolution, or capitulation.
Which is it going to be?
Three choices only one of them is peaceful, and if it occurs, that's only up to the Feds. Will they obey the law? Or will they force a needless confrontation?
i see what your saying
yet your perspective of nullification is a bit far stretched. I hear constantly "states need to do their job, they need to be doing MORE" until we can grasp the concept that a government is a Monopolized small group of publicly elected individuals who are comprised of people, then we will never see the minds of free individuals. leading toward your capitulation scenario.
When I say state I am referring to the state as a whole including its citizens. The People are demanding change, this tipping point is reaching far and wide with what to do about Federal policy. The People are starting to see that they must do something within their community at any cost. This must continue thru the tireless task of Educating on what the role of government ought to be.
leading toward your revolution scenario.
His name is Edward Snowden
What is Capitalism?
What do you mean by far fetched? That it will never
happen? Sure, but unless it does, we are doomed.
When I speak of States, I'm talking about State governments.
Theirs is the immediate task of securing our Liberty, and the first object they have to secure it against is the government created by the Constitution - specifically, the Congress, the President and the Article III courts.
Our greatest danger lies in centralized power. That is why the Framers limited it to only a few subject matters. (too many in my estimation though)
If the States, that is, the People through their State governments, don't stand up to the Feds and secure the Life, Liberty and Property of their Citizens, then absolutely NOTHING is going to stop the Feds from implementing total control - NOTHING.
The People individually are incapable. They might eventually be willing, or at least resigned to do something, but they will be crushed as long as State governments are not doing their job to back them.
This is how the system was designed. The State governments are a critical firewall. Without them, we are toast.
That doesn't mean we can't come up with a better system. But it means that this is the system we have, and while we have it, we either have to work it, or we have to wait for complete collapse and chaos.
And in that scenario, there are no assurances anyone with a Liberty mindset will be in a position to see we don't end up worse off than we are now.
Bottom line - either our local and State Governments step up and do their job of securing rights, or the Fat Lady has indeed belted her last tune.
Right, currently the response
Right, currently the response of states is largely false bravado. Notice that Montana just passed a referendum opposing implementation of ObamaCare. Now, how will the state prevent the IRS from confiscating funds from Montanans or jailing its citizens, eh? YEARS ago, I suggested that state legislatures adopt legislation proposed by Ray McBerry, a candidate for governor of the state of Georgia. His plan to route collection of taxes through a state agency BEFORE distribution would give the states the power to ENFORCE such referendums. * With such a state agency overseeing tax receipts, the IRS wouldn't receive a dime of money from Montana's taxpayers UNLESS the constitutionality of such taxes was approved by the state of Montana. So, now that Montana has passed such a referendum against ObamaCare, the state would have had TEETH to prevent the implementation of ObamaCare IF such a state agency as envisioned by McBerry was already in place. Ray McBerry is a genius of political strategy and would have made a terrific governor.
* For example, collections occurring at political levels greater than or equal to the state of Montana.
Yes, McBerry's legislative package was a good start.
But Montana could combine this move by arresting any IRS agent attempting to unlawfully enforce Subtitle A upon anyone not realizing gain or profit from corporate activities. (If you aren't sure why I said it that way, do a little digging here on DP)
If they would demand that USC 26 be enforced PROPERLY as the Supreme Court has said it should be many times, then Obamacare would not be a worry to most people of Montana, and most of them, would not be paying so-called "income tax" because they don't owe it. Since Obamacare's mandate is merely a surtax upon the already existing income tax, and since it doesn't expand upon whom the income tax applies, then it is necessarily limited to the same small group of people that the income tax is limited to.
But I don't expect anyone in Montana's government to have a clue or a backbone.
The Bottom Line...
These words, the campaigns actions... It's clear that he NEVER wanted the job... I just wish he would of told us that, the second time around, when we all thought he was committed toward winning.
Apparently, he was building something for Rand. And Rand threw it all away when he endorsed Romney...
This confirms the worst suspicions and accusations from RP's critics... and it saddens and sickens me...
At least now we know that we are on our own... And can move on...
I don't think that is fair
Anyone who has listened to what he's said knows he only ever got into politics to bring the ideas of liberty into the discussion. Him winning the election would have been an awesome bonus but consider how many people he energized. That, my friend, is much more valuable that winning elections.
"We are on our own"? Apparently you didn't read the part about him staying active with bring the issues of liberty into discussion. If he did decide to step into retirement and do nothing more with the liberty movement I see no reason why that should stop anything. He's contributed quite a bit. I am thankful for that.
Personally, I will never have "enough" of Dr. Paul!!
Why won't you tell me who you voted for?
That would give the elections too much credibility!!
Go Ron Go!!!!!!!!!!
I've no confidence either
I'm a medical student with a wife and 3 kids, so lots going on and not making any change rapidly, but I've been working on getting my wife used to the idea of moving out the US for a while now. At first it was "no way", now she's open to Canada or a few years in Europe after residency.
I'm not one that thinks we're headed for concentration camps or the like; but I do see our freedoms being constantly eroded and don't think it will stop. My whole life I've heard how lucky I was to be born in America...well I am glad I was born here, but I don't believe in American exceptionalism (other countries can work just as hard and have just as much inspiration as we have). When I was a boy I had a placematt of the worlds nations. I would mentally play RISK while eating breakfast. 1st we annex Canada then Mexico, next we claim South America as ours, etc....well I often feel our grown leaders still play that game to different degrees. The American policy of gov't doesn't respect the principles of freedom, justice, liberty, human life, or almost anything domestically or abroad. It embarrass me and saddens me. I no longer worry my children will have less opportunity if I leave. We may say & we may not, it's 7 or so years before it would even be possible. But I'm open to it because really there as far less to be proud of as an American than the songs and news programs might claim.
Let me see if I understand this
Since you are worried about losing more freedoms, the best next action is to relocate to where you would have even less freedom than you do currently.
Is that some way to get used to less freedom?
Stay and fight, so your kids can be proud, and will continue the fight. It won't ever be over. What's the saying..."Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel."
I agree with Dr. Paul
in that at this point in time I have very little faith in the current political system. That being said; however, we would do very well to learn from our enemies...when the system is not working for you, become the system. That is what has happened in this country. Over a long period of time, they worked their way into the system and became the policymakers and ultimately came to control the system itself. We should do the same, just as Ron Paul has alluded to. Work our way into the system (infiltrate it) one position at a time, until we again get back the power that we have lost. This process requires a lot of time and a lot of patience, but can be accomplished. Whatever, happens, we can't just throw our hands up, give up and walk away, because then they've won. Losing this game is not an option, because the stakes are just far too high!
Ron Paul is no dummy. He
Ron Paul is no dummy. He knew at the end of the day they would do what they could to not allow him to debate Obama. Im guessing he said a little prayer or was prepared to have it all end every time he attended a public function.
Who here does have confidence in the political process
yet we tried anyway and we'll continue to try as he would want us to.
Patriot Cell #345,168
I don't respond to emails or pm's.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution, inevitable.
Ron Paul is a Voluntarist
great quote
So what say all the "lets take over the GOP" people?
Ron Paul gets it. The duopoloy of communists with the Republican wing are too far gone. He knows it has to be grassroots, non-violent, and outside the status quo.
"In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."--Mark Twain
The same thing we always say and what Dr.Paul's plan were
.. Take over the GOP.
Nothing has changed nor do his words suggest differently.
Patriot Cell #345,168
I don't respond to emails or pm's.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution, inevitable.
Not Unless...
...we become the political system.

Bigger Oscar game for short film nominees
The Academy's annual Oscar curtain-raiser devoted to the short filmmakers -- this year hosted by Taylor Hackford, who launched his own directing career with the Oscar-winning short "Teenage Father" in 1978 -- attracted its usual sold-out crowd. But it wasn't the only opportunity to catch the nominees. Magnolia Pictures and Shorts International booked a program of the films into 38 theaters around the country last Friday, taking home a tidy $128,569 for the four-day weekend. Apple's iTunes Store is also offering downloads of the films for $1.99 each.
Theoretically, the opportunity to watch the films before the 79th Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night should make it easier to make a more informed bet in the office Oscar pool -- except that handicapping the shorts can be as difficult as predicting the eventual winner of best picture.
Consider the case of this year's short animated films. Three of them constitute a shoot-out of sorts among established animation superpowers.
Gary Rydstrom, a 13-time Oscar nominee in the sound categories, directed his first film, a five-minute CG short for Pixar called "Lifted," about an alien struggling to master his flying saucer's controls. "It's just a movie about my wanting to beat up a mixing console," Rydstrom joked. Chris Renaud and Michael Thurmeir were nominated for Blue Sky Studios' "No Time for Nuts," in which Scrat, the acorn-obsessed creature from the "Ice Age" movies, embarks on a slapstick, time-traveling quest that would test the patience of Daffy Duck.
Director Roger Allers ("The Lion King") and producer Don Hahn ("Beauty and the Beast") oversaw a return to traditional animation in "The Little Matchgirl," based on the Hans Christian Anderson tale. The filmmakers revealed they wrestled for three years with the ending -- the studio wanted a more conventionally happy fade-out -- until new management approved the bittersweet finale the filmmakers wanted all along.
The nominees also include Torill Kove's "The Danish Poet." A whimsically drawn tale of how the narrator's parents came to meet, the film, narrated by Liv Ullman, happens to be the only one of the five nominees that relies on dialogue. The Montreal-based Kove was previously nominated in 2000 for "My Grandmother Ironed the King's Shirts."
The final entry is Geza M. Toth's "Maestro," a computer-animated work from Hungary that watches as a bird, seated at a make-up table, warms up in his dressing room before his big performance. In terms of a final, unexpected punchline, it drew the evening's biggest laugh.
But is that enough to guarantee it a win? That's impossible to say. Unlike most of the Oscar categories, where the final members are determined by the vote of the entire membership, the shorts categories require voters to attend the Academy's screenings. So the final voting represents a mix of devoted Academy members as well as animators with a rooting interest in the medium.
Animators certainly admire Pixar, a frequent player in the category. But for those who pine for Disney's glory days, a vote for "Matchgirl" also underscores the ongoing vitality of traditional animation.
For these animated shorts are far more than just entertaining trifles.

Latest Hosting Posts
Small business owners and startup founders generally pride themselves on being up-to-date on the latest tech trends. However, many are still unwilling to embrace cloud technology for basic business functions such as email and file storage. They often write cloud computing off as too complicated or not secure, but that simply isn't the case.
I'd like to debunk a few of the myths surrounding cloud-based computing so more businesses feel comfortable leveraging the power of the cloud.
What Is the Cloud?
First, let's talk about what cloud computing is. Storing things in "the cloud" is a nebulous concept, but really, cloud-based operations encompass any computing application that is completely Internet-based. If you've ever used Gmail, for instance, you've taken advantage of the cloud.
Taking an entire business' operations into the virtual realm can be daunting, and many business owners think their non-cloud-based setup works just fine. They may view transitioning to the cloud as more hassle than it's worth. But there are several benefits to cloud computing:
- Cloud storage makes it easy to share large or sensitive files securely.
- The cloud allows you to collaborate on a single document, easily manage file permissions, and share and update documents without worrying about duplicate or outdated versions.
- The cloud makes it simple to back up your system, which prevents data loss.
- The cloud leads to less storage waste because you're not storing multiple copies of files locally.
Despite these clear advantages, the prospect of switching over to the cloud all at once can be overwhelming. But there are many cloud-based systems that small business owners can benefit from, and it can be less intimidating to start with one and branch out. Here are a few you can try:
- Cloud-based file storage and sharing systems: This is the most commonly used cloud system for small businesses. Services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and Box are beginning to take the place of file and FTP servers. These services also allow for expanded remote access and can support multiple users.
- Cloud-based email hosting: With services such as Gmail and Microsoft's Office 365, there's no reason to host your own email server. These services let you use your company's domain name and can easily handle companies with more than 5,000 employees.
- Worldwide phone systems: No one wants to deal with the hassle and cost of telecom companies that provide mediocre service. With cloud technology, you can get a VoIP telephone system for as little as $20 per month. It works worldwide, and your customers will never know the difference.
- Cloud servers: Businesses are now able to get up and running more quickly than ever, thanks to cloud hosting services such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's Azure. Getting rid of fixed servers saved my business thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of labor.
How to Make Your Data Safe in the Cloud
The recent security breaches from major companies such as eBay and P.F. Chang's China Bistro have put security at the forefront of business owners' minds — and for good reason. A data breach can destroy a company's reputation and even drive it out of business.
Cloud computing takes physical security out of a business owner's control, which can be a scary thought. While security should be your No. 1 priority, there are some very simple steps business owners can take to ensure their cloud-based businesses remain safe and secure.
- Encrypt your data for ultimate protection. If you decide to take advantage of cloud-based solutions, make sure your data is encrypted so if a breach does occur, hackers can't decipher your data. If you don't have the ability to encrypt your data in-house, make sure your cloud provider is encrypting it for you.
- Choose strong passwords for all of your accounts. It doesn't have to be some convoluted sequence of characters you'll likely forget. Strong passwords consist of at least 15 characters and should be something you can easily remember. You should never use the same password for all your accounts.
- Choose a reputable cloud service provider. Nothing is worse than losing data or having unforeseen downtime because your provider is unreliable. Review your uptime records to ensure your service is doing a good job of keeping your business running.
Moving your entire business to the cloud and trusting something you don't have direct control over can be a difficult transition. However, cloud-based storage frees up your time to focus on revenue-producing activities and saves you money. Isn't it time you made the switch?

|So this month I've been traveling a lot. Airlines publish magazines each month about themselves. This month (June, 2010), Southwest's Magazine on the plane was all about dogs.
Specfically, they talked about rescue dogs. Lots of great articles. If you can pick up a copy from someone who is traveling, do so.

|OMG............. i have flown back and forth to oakland for the last 3 weeks and next week too. I know the article you are speaking of.
Usually (and i travel a lot) i ignore the articles........... but that one got to me. A fellow traveler (i JUST flew back home last night from Oakland), and I were talking about it.
We each said how that was the first time an airline article ever put a tear in our eyes.
It was a great read. Our service men deserve more than they get. And that dog totally changed that guy's life.

|By the way.. that entire magazine's focus is on dog's for the June issue. If someone can get you a copy, ask them to.
Southwest encourages people to take the magazine off the flight and keep it. It is chock full (in that issue) about dogs.
|Yes, I hope you checked the online link I put in my first post -- the list on the left side connects to the other articles in the issue.
I'll put another link below.
I live near an airport, so maybe I can get a paper copy too.

SCARS - a film about dance and race in South Africa
Presented by Boston Dance Alliance at Coolidge Corner Theatre
June 4, 2012
Film Synopsis
Two well-known Cape Town dancers – Megan Erasmus and Celeste Botha, both mixed race – trace their ancestry through dance and drama. At the heart of Scars is the stage show of the same name, an exploration through dance, voiceover and physical theatre of what it means to be coloured in 2011 as well as the importance of roots and heritage.Between scenes from the show are frank, intimate interviews with both women and their families, and it's here that the film is at its most compelling, revealing telling glimpses of hidden prejudices, rarely spoken truisms and touching moments of almost throw-away epiphany.Scars offers a window into the world of dance as the women conceptualize, debate and rehearse the stage show. The convergence of race and dance is one of Scars' most intriguing elements. What, after all, is the difference between white and black dance, has a South African convergence happened yet and, once again, how does being coloured influence it?

QLD - Tangalooma Hotels
QLD - Tangalooma Hotels, Resorts & Holiday Houses
Are you dreaming of spending some time in sunny Queensland? Wot about taking a well-deserved break on Moreton Island and living it up while you stay in our Tangalooma accommodation?
"Tangalooma" means "where fishes meet" in the local Aboriginal dialect and there is plenty of marine life to see around here.
Tangalooma is most famous for being the southern hemisphere's largest land based whaling station in the 1950s. While the culling of humpbacks that occurred here put the whales on the endangered species list in 1965, Tangalooma has since turned into an eco-tourism destination where animals of all kinds – including whales – are actively protected.
Things to do
Besides whale watching, some of the most popular activities in Tangalooma are snorkelling and scuba diving around the Tangalooma Wrecks, a line of 15 ships that were purposely sunk in 1963 to provide a safe spot for smaller boats to anchor in the bay. The wrecks are now covered in coral and teeming with tropical fish, so they're a fantastic place to check out the local marine life.
The highlight of any trip to Tangalooma is the opportunity to handfeed wild dolphins. Every evening, a group of dolphins arrive at the jetty to be fed, just like they have since 1992. You can learn all about the gentle creatures at the Dolphin Education Centre and you'll go home with some excellent photos and memories.
Other fun activities include sand boarding, parasailing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, banana boat riding, quad biking and bush walking.
Shopping and dining
The only shop in Tangalooma is a convenience store to grab snacks and essential items, so you're best off purchasing souvenirs once you get back to the main land if you're looking for a memento. There are a few restaurants and cafes to choose from at Tangalooma Island Resort but if you'd prefer to prepare your own dinner, there are some barbeques on the shore that you can use.
Getting here and around
Tangalooma is just a 75 minute ferry ride from Brisbane, so nab one of these cheap flights to Brisbane and make a beeline for the ferry at the Holt Street Wharf.
So wot are you waiting for? Book your flights, pick a room and start packing!

Brooke D'Orsay to Romance Walden on Two and a Half Menby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Brooke D'Orsay has landed a potentially recurring role on Two and a Half Men, and let's just say Walden Schdmit will soon be one very lucky billionaire.
As first reported by Entertainment Weekly, the actress (Drop Dead Diva, Royal Pains) will debut later this season as Kate, an employee at a discount shopping store. She'll come across Ashton Kutcher's Walden when he stops by there in an attempt to make like an Average Joe.
No word yet on when D'Orsay will first appear on the hit CBS sitcom.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Two and a Half Men, Casting News
She just got married on Royal Pains, how is this going to work?
Does that mean no more Zoe? So happy to hear that, cause I never really felt any chemistry between Walden and her.
