Honestly, I don't like to speculate, I prefer being surprised :D
:lmao: right?!? He is such a man-whore!!!!
:heart: love it, Amber! Keep it comin'!
Hes a total hoe!!! Like, for real in the game! For cereal :lol:
Let me just remind yall, I dont let them kiss or woohoo until they both hold wishes for it. It seems almost all he rolls now are romantic wishes towards the girls and its one after the other. At one point he had saved a wish to date and woohoo Meredith, another wish to woohoo Ophelia, and a wish to woohoo Mandy! And he keeps rolling wishes to have a baby too. He is like REALLY down with all of this loving and ready for some of these gals to pop him some offspring out of those pikachus :lmao:
Mandy is def the one who gets the most bothered in game about him not being monogamous. She walks around crying or pissed most of the time :lol: At least during this part of the story she did. Hilarious! She gave me a lot of good photo ops tho :lol:
And seriously... they had like the shortest engagement ever!!! He told her he still had feelings for Meredith and Ophelia and she freaked out and broke it off all on her own :lmao:
:lmao: I change my guess... I think Mandy leaves.
"Will you marry me?" "Yes of course!" "But oh, even though I know you're broken hearted because your LAST fiance hooked up with your best friend, I'm still planning on boinking both your bestie AND your archenemy. That's cool, right?"
LOL Oh Mykale.
Chapter 15
Witchy woman
Mykale was taken back by Mandys sudden uncontrollable outburst. Did their conversation last night mean nothing? She had said all the right things then, had made Mykale feel like she was perfect for what he wanted, what he needed, but then today she accepts his proposal, a proposal he only gave her because of the image she had painted in his mind, only to quickly resend her answer when she discovered that everything wasnt going to magically change now. It didnt make any sense to him. In his mind, things would be pretty much the same, the way they had discussed last night, except Mandy would be his number 1 gal, his wife, and the other girls would be his partners, lovers, and other mothers to his children. He saw the point Mandy made about Ophelia and maybe she was right. Maybe Ophelia wasnt meant to be in their family forever, but she was here now and Mykale wanted to give her an equal chance. He thought he had explained that very well to Mandy over and over yet here they were having another fight about Ophelia being in the mix.
What Mykale was unaware of was that Ophelia had found them! She had gotten suspicious when Mykale didnt return home last night. The timing was wrong... they had just done the woohoo and then he ran off with Mandy not to return. She wasnt just hurt by this, she was mad! Mad was not the right word for what she was feeling. Enraged was more like it. How could he make her feel like they have something special and wonderful, then as soon as she gives it up he runs off over night with that awful terrible genie. That selfish, rude, possessive devil woman who doesnt even have plasma coursing through her veins! She was a freak of nature and didnt deserve Mykale. Ophelia was tired of taking the back seat and just rolling over and letting Mandy be a controlling bitch. She was done giving these other girls alone time with her man. She had used a scent tracking spell and had found the two of them up high in a hot air balloon enjoying the sunrise. The view made her sick and even more angry than before. She had to do something to break this union up and quick.
Ophelia hadnt been a white witch for years. She had practiced the art of light for quite some time but a romantic rendezvous with a dark lord had shown her the excitement and power involved in black magic is so much more rich than the white arts. She summoned the dark powers, reaching metaphysically into the ever-after and pulling out bolts of rich dark lightening. She pulled at the waves of dark energy with her fingertips, willing it to grow even stronger and seek out Mandy to fill her with the rage that Ophelia felt inside and direct it towards Mykale. She dark energy filled her up, dancing through her body like sparks of electricity trickling through her veins. She threw the energy up and out, her mind focused on Mandy as the target and she watched as it plummeted into her and filled her with the rage that Ophelia felt.
The fighting was off in no time! She could hear even from this far away Mandy yelling at Mykale full force and Mykale stammering, confused by the outburst. She pulled even more on the ever after, seeking the darkest of the dark energies and flung them towards Mandy again.
Her yelling peaked, her bright red cheeks visible from this far away, and Ophelia witnessed her shoving Mykale.
"Perfect," Ophelia thought to herself. "Mykale will never guess this came from me. Shes been so irrational and emotional this whole time, he wont think a second though about it. Now, to get her to flee and him to come running into my arms."
She dropped her connection to the ever after fo this spell didnt require help from dark forces. This was an earth spell. She called upon the clouds and filled them with acid rain that she sent flooding from sky.
It worked! Mandy and Mykale went fleeing from the storm.
Ophelia used one last trick to make him head sideways towards the park she was in while Mandy booked it home.
Honestly, it was quite a shock to her that it worked. Mykale was a very old very powerful vampire. He should have been immune to her spells and powers. The fact that he was not meant she was growing quickly in power. The thought excited her beyond belief. She hadnt felt this much joy since joining the Ready for Love house. If she could control Mykale, she could controll the outcome of this little reality love experiment as well, and Mykale could be hers and hers alone. Those goody-two-shoes girls stood no chance against her, now that she knew how much her powers were increasing rapidly. The game was about to change.
"Ophelia?" Mykale cocked his head sideways, confused by what she was doing way out in the desert at a playground during an acid rain storm. "What are you doing here?"
"I... I dont know," Ophelia answered using her best confused damsel in distress voice. "I felt something, like I was being called to this location. Imagine my surprise to see you standing here! Did your soul call to me, Mykale?" Ophelia looked up at Mykale wide eyed and innocent. "Are we... are we soul mates?"
Mykale looked shocked and a little sad. Maybe Ophelia should have felt bad for having Mandy direct all that anger at Mykale, but honestly, she didnt. In fact, it made her happy. If Mykale associates heartbreak with Mandy, then its even easier to get her out of the way.
"Im.. Im not sure. All of this is so strange and confusing. And my mind feels weird.. fuzzy.. like I cant see through the fog to figure this all out."
"Come on, baby. Lets get out of this awful storm and go home. Im sure once you get some plasma, youll start to feel better."
"Yeah," Mykale replied slightly hazed. "That must be it. Its been a while since I have ate. Thats got to be it."
The confused Mykale took the wicked Ophelias hand in his own and the two headed back to the house where Ophelia planned on completing her mater mind plan...
Oh now that's a fun twist!!
Theres always been something up with that Ophelia.....
Remember the super creepy look she was giving Mykale on the first day? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is starting to get really fun :D Just wait until you see what happens next! CRAZY!!!!!
Well, that was unexpected!!!
Oh thats not even the half of it! :couch:
Trying to get another chapter up tonight!
Chapter 16
We need to talk
Ophelia led Mykale into the house by his hand. The other girls were sitting on the couch talking when they came in and suddenly got hush-hush. But Ophelia paid them no mind. Mykale was hers right now. She shot the girls a dirty look before leading Mykale into his bedroom. One they were alone, she offered up her neck to him where he fed for what was seeming like too long.
"Mykale.. thats enough," she said softly but he didnt seem to hear her. He latched on even tighter and she had to push him off. He was panting and he wiped the blood from his lips , looking confused.
"Im sorry... that hasnt happened in a long time. I dont know what over came me."
He expected Ophelia to be upset but she wasnt. "No worries, my love," she said with a smile. "I just want you to be happy. What would you like to do now?"
"Martial arts," he replied excitedly. So the two changed into their outfits and this time Mykale got to help Ophelia into hers. They went to the living room since it had the most open indoor space.
Ophelia was a little off of her game this time, possibly from donating too much blood to Mykale, but they had fun sparing anyways. Mykale won and the two bowed to one another.
They worked up a thirst and went to the bar for a drink afterwards. Mykale had a high mixology skill so he did the honors. Mandy surprisingly joined them at the bar. Mykale hadnt said two words to her since he had arrived back at the house. Frankly, he was surprised to see she hadnt packed her bags and left already.
"Enjoying some alone time with Ophelia, are you?"
"Just had a little sparring match. It was fun. Would you like a drink, Mandy?"
"Of course. Why else would I come sit at the bar?"
Mykale ignored her rudeness and continued making the drinks.
"Did you have fun on your date with Mykale?"
"Why does it matter to you," Mandy snapped.
"It doesnt. I was just wondering if anything memorable happened."
Mandy curled her lip up and gave Ophelia a snide look. "Quite a few things."
"Good. Im glad you have some memories with him cause I doubt youll make many more. But we plan on making a lot more of our own. Tonight. Naked memories. Isnt that right Mykale?"
"Sure," he replied, focused on the drinks.
"I cant believe youre going to let her just talk to me like that. I dont know how much more of this I can take. I am thinking of moving out."
"That sounds great, right Mykale," Ophelia said obviously not really expecting an answer.
"Is that true, Mykale? You want me to leave?"
Mykale shrugged, not wanting to get involved in their girl fight. It seemed to him like he should care more, but he just couldnt. What was wrong with him?
Mandy stormed off in a huff. "You forgot your drink," Mykale called out but she kept on walking. He shrugged again. Shouldnt he follow her? He didnt know. He had hoped the blood would help him feel better but he still felt foggy headed.
He drank his drink with Ophelia which certainly didnt help matters. She grabbed him by the hand and led him back to the living room. "Dance with me," she said. The two danced for a few minutes before Ophelia said "Since you won, I guess well follow tradition and you get something from the loser. What would you like?"
"A kiss," Mykale replied as he pulled Ophelia in.
Just at that moment, Meredith walked into the common room and stopped, watching Ophelia lap at Mykales face like a bitch in heat.
"I hate to interrupt," she said, obviously not hating to interrupt at all," but we really need to talk Mykale."
"Cant you see Im a little busy right now, Meredith? Ill make some time for you later," he said, still under Ophelias spell.
Meredith was taken back! Why would Mykale, the sweet man she has to come to love talk to her like that? Shed never seen this side of him before. "Its important," she said.
"I dont think theres anything more important than this moment Im having with Ophelia right now. Why do you and Mandy try to sabotage our time together at every chance? Its getting old," Mykale replied, in a tone that was not his own.
"How dare you speak to me like that," Meredith said, pointing her finger in Mykales face. "And it is more important, much more important. If you cared to know, you got me pregnant! As the mother of your child, I deserve much more respect than this," she shouted.
Ophelia stepped up beside Mykale, who seemed rather oblivious to the news shed just told him. "Back off, witch. Hes mine now!"
It suddenly dawned on Meredith what had happened. Mykale was under some sort of spell cast by Ophelia. It also alerted her that Ophelia practiced in the dark arts, which was dangerous and had a tendency to drive people insane. It also explained a lot. Meredith only used white magic, but she was one of the most powerful practicing white witches around. She pulled out her wand and aimed it at Mykales chest.
She summoned up as much magic as she could as quickly as she could so Ophelia didnt have time to stop her. She blast Mykales chest, not only breaking the spell Ophelia had put on him, but also putting a shield on Mykale that would make him immune, temporarily, to a witches spells.
Mykale came to and seemed dazed. He shock his head and looked around the room. "What happened," he asked to no one in particular.
Meredith narrowed her eyes at Ophelia. Meredith knew what she had done to Mykale and she knew who she really was now. The cat was out of the bag, so to speak. But why wasnt she telling Mykale? Ophelia didnt know, and she was pretty sure she wasnt going to like the reason.
I can't see the pics right now, but I'm loving the story! I KNEW there was a reason I wasn't liking Ophelia. Also.. YAY Meredith & Mykale baby! (But does that mean she has to leave? Cuz if so, boo. I like her!)
No pictures are working :( But great story!!
Okay, got more bandwidth for my account :lol: And the pics are good to go now ;)
Ill get another chapter up soon! :clap:
Chapter 17
Cleaning up the mess
Mykale wondered off down the hall to his room. Meredith heard the shower come on and once she was sure Mykale was out of earshot, she turned her angry gaze onto Ophelia.
"What do you think youre doing? Be-spelling Mykale? Thats a trick of the dark arts, Ophelia. Youre a black witch! I knew something was off with you."
"Im only doing what you dont have the power or the wills to do. This man is not like others. He doesnt really crave monogamy but its what he needs to simplify his life. And if you think he is not a dark soul, youre mistaken. He is a vampire, Meredith, and not a good match for a goody two shoes white witch like you or an abomination like that genie Mandy."
Meredith ignored her low blows because they were unjustified and meant nothing to her. Her comment would have made Mandy argue with her and lose the main point, but that wasnt Meredith. "Ive placed a spell deflector on him and if you try this again, so help me Ophelia, the consequences will bite you in the ass."
"You can spare me your karma crap because I dont believe it in."
Meredith stepped in close to her, her anger like flames in her eyes. "Oh no," she said softly. "Not karma. Me."
"Im not scared of a white witch!" Ophelia spits the words out as if they tasted bad in her mouth.
"Then that will be your down fall." Meredith turned and walked away, leaving Ophelia to think about her words. She thought it possible that Ophelia may hit her with a ball of dark magic while her back was turned, but the witch did nothing.
When Mykale was done with his shower, Meredith found him in the living room. She had him to herself for the next few minutes, and she wasted no time getting into a much needed discussion with him.
"Mykale, I have tried to stay out of this and let you come to realizations on your own, but I can no longer hold my tongue. Please, Mykale. Please tell Ophelia she has to leave the house."
Mykale, having no clear recollection of being be-spelled, was confused by Merediths begging. "What? Why would I do that? I feel like Ive explained this a million times by now. This is not how its supposed to work. We dont just gang up on another member of the house. Thats not what this is supposed to be about. We.."
Meredith did not let him finish. "I come to you with honesty here, Mykale. She is not who you think she is, okay? You have to listen to me!"
Mykale rolled his eyes and that was the tiny little bit more that Meredith needed to come out with some truths about Ophelia. "She practices dark magic, Mykale. Its bad, bad stuff and very dangerous. Most people who dip in that sort of magic are driven insane by opening a connection repeatedly to the ever-after. I dont know how I didnt see it before. She displays all the classic traits of a witch who has used too much or too powerful dark spells. Im telling the truth. Dont just stand there and roll your eyes at me and blow me off. I just saved you and you dont even remember it!"
"Whoa, calm down, okay. Im listening now, Im listening. What do you mean, you saved me?"
"From Ophelia. She had put a spell on you and I removed it and put a temporary spell blocker on you. You dont remember any of that, do you?
Mykale looked beyond confused. "What? No, I dont know what youre talking about. What happened? What did she do? Why dont I remember?" Mykale was getting more and more upset. As a powerful vampire, he wasnt used to anyone being able to over take him like that and it freaked him out.
"Its okay, now, Mykale, its okay.
You didnt do anything bad... per say. Though you did hurt Mandys feelings. Ophelia was able to transport thoughts into your mind while you were under her spell and from what Mandy says, it appears she may have used that opportunity to hurt Mandy. She is thinking of leaving, Mykale."
Little pieces of being at the bar with the girls came back to him. mandy had said she was thinking of leaving and Mykale remembers wanting to protest, to follow her, to change her mind... but he couldnt. He couldnt because Ophelia wouldnt let him.
"You need to go talk to her soon, if you could. I think she really needs you right now."
"Okay," Mykale said as he turned to go find Mandy but Meredith pulled him back.
"Wait. Theres something else... something I told you before I knew you were under a spell that you may not remember. Does that ring a bell?"
Mykale shock his head no.
"Mykale.. Im pregnant and the baby is growing fast."
Mykale spit the panicked feelings out as quickly as they had entered him. "A baby? Are you serious? Are you sure?" He bubbled over with joy and rushed Meredith, hugging her tightly and laughing in her ear. He pulled away suddenly, all smiles, and bent down close to her tummy. Now that he looked closer, she did look a little bloated, but it wasnt very visible as Meredith had a very very small frame. He rubbed his hand over her swollen abdomen, mentally caressing the little life growing inside of her. "A baby," he said with wonder.
Meredith giggled, obviously as excited as Mykale was.
Mykale pulled back quickly. "No way! I think I just felt it move!"
"I told you, its growing fast. I think it will only be a few more days before it arrives."
Mykale placed his ear to Merediths belly and then again pulled back. "I think I hear it!" he exclaimed.
"You silly nugget! You cant hear it!" Meredith giggled.
"I know that," he said with a smile. "But I made you laugh, didnt I?"
The two shared a kiss and a smile. "I love you, Meredith, and Im so over joyed right now. Im here for you through this whole process, not just the pregnancy, but for our child too. Forever. Ill be the very best Dad and youll always be my family." He placed his forehead on her own and inhaled her scent deeply. "Now if youll excuse me, I must go find Mandy. We have some things we need to talk about. Oh, does she know about the baby?"
"Not yet. She was already so upset... plus I wanted to tell you first. Would you like to tell her or want me to do it?"
"I think it would be best if you told her," he replied before giving her another kiss.
So.. I was trying to fall asleep and thinking of this story (cuz doesn't everyone? LOL). A thought popped into my head that Amber had only said someone leaves with A baby, not necessarily that someone leaves with her OWN baby. I laid there all like :wigging: as my brain played out Ophelia kidnapping Meredith/Mykale's baby in a jealous rage. THAT would be some crazy ass twist. (Did I guess it, did I guess it? LOL)

You don't need to tell IP pioneer ARM Holdings that success in the core licensing business requires best-in-class engineering, patience and the prescience to aim your technology at a sweet spot five years down the road. The result of building up a solid roster of licensees with favorable royalty terms ought to be a high- margin, low-cost business with plenty of momentum.
In the graphics IP space, that has been the payoff for multimedia IP powerhouse Imagination Technologies Group, which has seen chip volumes for its PowerVR cores take off in mobile devices and auto applications. And it is the challenge now facing ARM and its Mali core.
As Moore's Law drives chip transistor counts higher, discrete graphics processors are losing sockets to embedded implementations and heterogeneous, compute/graphics processing arrays. Meanwhile, graphics applications are mushrooming in consumer, computing, industrial and automotive electronics.
It's therefore no surprise that processor companies have targeted graphics. AMD acquired ATI Technologies in 2006 for $5.4 billion; Qualcomm then bought ATI's mobile graphics division from AMD for $65 million. And ARM (Cambridge, U.K.) created a media processing unit in June 2006 by purchasing Falanx Microsystems.
Despite all the jockeying, graphics IP still looks like a one-horse race. Estimates vary, but Imagination's graphics core shipments are thought to approach 250 million chips a year.

- Perfect for what I need it for , 9/11/13 By David
- Quality Price Value
Had an AT&T TL7610 that lasted about a year before it started to go out on me. Had issues the entire time though with people not being able to hear me clearly on it. Did some research and the PRO 9470 had good reviews and took a gamble. Well, it's well worth the price. Also wanted to add I got it for a bit less here versus anywhere else, given that I also needed the applicable adapter for our phone system. So, that was a plus. - use it every day , 8/17/13 By Headhunter
- Quality Price Value
Excellent sound quality, even when hooked to my inexpensive standard desk phone. One click and you're connected to your computer audio, and another click and you're connected to your cell. One minor flaw: the plastic attachment between the headset and the over-ear hook is a bit flimsy--occasionally the headset falls off the hook when I lift it to my ear. - Great device , 7/15/13 By LubbockBill
- Quality Price Value
I've bought two of these before and liked them both so much, when we had a receptionist that needed a head piece, we bought her the same thing.

I have heard a lot about Japanese hair straightening and since I have a head full of curls, I've been thinking about getting it done. We always want the opposite of what we have!
Does anyone know if this is damaging to hair? Could it fall out, the way African hair can fall out due to the harshness of some hair straightening products?
Thank you for sharing. Can you tell us which method of hair straightening you had done (there are a few different types mentioned on this post).
Since you did not like your results, did you follow any of Diane's previous recommendations on researching the stylist's experience beforehand, or did you go to this particular salon/stylist through word-of-mouth or other recommendation? I think it would be helpful to hear if prior-researching did or did not help.
I'm sorry you had poor results. Are you looking into alternatives?
July 11, 2010 - 7:32pmHi Alison,
I'm going back to the salon to discuss what method she used. All I know is she said it was the gentlest. I know a few people who have had great results and saw that this person was the first to bring it to the area.
I checked out yelp to see if there were any comments. There was one comment that was positive and since I live in a mid-sized city, I thought that was okay. But the comment wasn't about hair straightening, so that was bad. I believed her sign and since others with frizzy and wavy hair had a good experience, she seemed to think that it would work fine.
I did go online to do research but couldn't find any negative comments until last night. This is seems depends on the key words you use. If you type in botched hair straightening, you'll find some comments.
One comment I thought important is not to have this treatment done on highlighted hair, (which mine is). Another is to go to a Japanese person who knows what they are doing. But I'm not too sure of that, since Japanese hair has a very different consistency than Caucasian hair.
However, if I had to do it again, I would ask for more information and get more recommendations. I would also try more products to tame my hair rather than going through this permanent and damaging process. The salon where I had this done said they are all about healthy hair. If that is the case, she probably should not have proceeded with this process. Many hairdressers, according to online comments, will not do this process.
I will give the hairdresser an opportunity to rectify this situation. I will try and find out what process she used. And then I will contact the manufacturer to see if they recommend retrying the process. My hair is very kinky and damaged so I don't like that idea. The alternative is to visit a larger city and see if I can find someone who is experienced to fix my hair. There may be some people here who are good but I haven't found them. I find in a small town, there are lots of bad hairdressers and you are at the mercy of the good ones. And the good ones are the ones that continually learn.
July 12, 2010 - 7:06amI looked into this extensively and the Japanese way is definitely not for me, not to mention the load of chemicals in it, including formaldehyde. The expense is also too much for me and I want the option of being able to color my hair.
However! I'm liking the Brazilian Blowout option that lasts around 3 months, costs a lot less and has far fewer chemicals (no formaldehyde!) and color is fine.
I also like the idea of 3 months since I love my big curls but am kind of in love at the moment with really straight hair! But- love can be fleeting!
If any knows anything more about the Brazilian Blowout treatment or has had it done, I'd love to hear more!
February 15, 2010 - 9:34amHello ladies, I just got the japanese relaxer and I was like you guys real worried about doing it. I did alot of research on it and got alot of feedbacks from lots of people. But I actually was real happy with the results. I used to have curly, frizzy, and puffy hair before that I hated. Everyone used to love my hair but it was just so difficult to fix it. One thing I had a problem was the puffiness of my hair. I had alot of hair too so that made it worse. Since I got the japanese relaxer my hair is silky straight. The only thing is the front of my hair from the tips they get a little frizzy and according to my stylist, the reason for that was bcuz of my color-treated hair already. Overall my hair feels and looks healthier then before. I payed only $200 though and it was almost a 4-5 hour process. And my stylist were actually asian ladies so idk if that made it better. But I would definitely recommend it to everyone who is just tired of dealing with their curly hair.
February 15, 2010 - 7:58amAnon - Thanks for your feedback, especially the tip about colored hair. Pat
February 15, 2010 - 8:58amI had never heard of this Japanese treatment-- I've heard of a Brazilian treatment, are they the same thing?
I LOVE straight, straight hair but at the same time, I don't think I am willing to give up my curls. I have my days when I want to go curly and I have days when I want to have my hair straight but I have yet to decide which one I like better than the other.
My advice to those who are not sure what to do: wait it out. Even if your hair does ultimately end up looking gorgeous, silky, and straight you will never have your curls back. If you absolutely hate your curly hair, then I say go for it.
February 7, 2010 - 2:14pmWell don't go through any treatment unless you know your hair is in the right set of hands, but that goes for anything related to hair care and treatmnts, I went through a Japanese hair straightening at salon in Israel (http://www.vingrovsky.com) but before I did, I googled them a bit on the Internet and got some reviews from customers and girls that went through the treatment, then I went to the Salon and spoke to the guy myself and asked him to tell me all about the RISKS and what is the worst case scenario, many girls just go a do the treatment and then they ask why did this or that happen - don't! just ask before hand and see the stylist's response stuttering is never a good thing in an answer coming from a proffesional ;)
February 7, 2010 - 1:21pmhi..i hav relly soft curls dat are not relly manageble .so i was thinkin of gettin it straigthened ..wudu suggest to try out smoothening or straigthenins

How old are you? And how long is your hair?
Have you tried using some straightening or curl-managing hair products with a flat iron?
If you are not sure, I would tell you to go for a temporary treatment instead of a permanent one. It's always better to be sure that you're going to like something before it's there for good.
November 24, 2009 - 9:43amI am 15 years old.
My hair is sometimes curly or straight and puffy...Always frizzy..
I walk to school my hair ends up being all wavy and puffy..and i hate it..
I thinking about a Japanesse Straightening, but what are the things I have to be aware of????

I highley not reccomend a 11 year old have her hair straighet permanent...to young

My clutch is starting to make some funky noises when I engage it (the noise goes and comes). This is sounding like I will need to replace the clutch at some point not in the too distant future.
I've never pulled a tranny or done a clutch in any car/truck before, but think I'm up for the job for this truck. My main concern is the physically manhandling of the tranny - I will be doing this job on 3 ton jackstands. I'm figuring the money I will save on labor will more than offset the $80 cost to get one of these:
For you guys that have pulled transmissions in these trucks without a lift, what tips and tricks did you pick up? Is handling a transmission possible with one person? Whats the weight of the unit?
Also, apparently there is a need to resurface the flywheel? I know Eric the Car Guy has his own homemade method that he claims works pretty well for him using sandpaper. Any thoughts on this?

Australia's Military History
Australian Units In The Boer War
Australia and the Boer War 1899-1902
South Africa's Boer War 1899-1902 represents a number of Australian 'firsts': The first time Australians fought under a Commonwealth banner; were awarded the Victoria Cross and wore the Rising Sun badge overseas. It was also the genesis of the Light Horse or more correctly, the Mounted Infantry and it heralded the role of Australian women in war. Yet over a century later this conflict continues to fascinate and frustrate those seeking to find more on Australia's involvement in the conflict.
The Boer War had its origins in the First Boer War of 1880-81 between the British and the Afrikaners or Boers. The outcome only brought an uneasy peace. Matters came to a head with the 1896 Jameson Raid (with more than a few Australians involved) and other unrest. Inevitably war broke on 11th October 1899 between Great Britain and the Boers of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State.
The war lasted until 31st May 1902 with more than 70,000 lives lost. It was the largest African campaign ever fought by the British and in terms of cost and numbers involved, surpassed all other pre World War One conflicts including the Crimean War. Apart from the two World Wars it claimed the most Australian lives.
The war falls into three distinct phases. Firstly the Boer offensive against the Cape Colony and Natal and laying siege to some major town centres. There was savage text book fighting at this time with mainly British infantry regiments and others like the New South Wales Lancers and Australian Horse. The British lost heavily in some set piece battles such as Talana where the troops were decimated by Boer tactics and wisely directed fire.
Secondly there were British counter strikes and the capture of the Boer capitals of Bloemfontein and Pretoria. Many Australian State raised Bushmen contingents became involved in the associated advance into the Orange Free State and Transvaal with the lifting of sieges at Kimberley, Mafeking and Ladysmith. The Australian contingents including the Queensland Mounted Infantry, New South Wales Bushmen and Doyle's Scouts were all mounted with the exception of some artillery and medical corps elements. They excelled in mobile warfare however, significant losses were inflicted on the Australians at places like Eland's River.
Unable to win by conventional means, the Boers then developed a unique type of guerilla warfare. The Boer Commandos delivered hit and run strikes wherever they chose while the British conducted great sweeps trying to eliminate the wily Boer farmers. More tedious for the British was mounting guard on long supply routes, clearing Boer farms and herding civilians into concentration camps. In this third phase the Australian troops came into their own. They were at home living off the land like their foe and could match his initiative and ingenuity thus avoiding set piece battles and the associated carnage. Even so there were major actions such as the debacle at Wilmansrust when half the 5th Victorian Mounted Rifles Contingent was overrun and captured on 12th June 1901.
With growing strength and Kitchener's cruel scorched earth policy the British gained the edge on the Boers. By the time the first Australian Commonwealth Horse Contingents arrived in 1902 there was little capacity to fight left among the ragged ranks of the Boers. Peace was finally signed at Pretoria on 31st May 1902.
Whilst it seems there is much material available to study Australia's role in the Boer War the task can be surprisingly frustrating. For example officially only 16,500 Australians served, but to that figure should be added another 7,000 Australians who fought in Irregular units like the Scottish Horse or Bethune's Mounted Infantry. Thankfully the task of recording more fully the Boer War continues among a dedicated group of researchers and historians. So if you can't find your Boer War story or man, don't despair because the publicly available information is growing and is far more extensive than many realize. Read on and you will be pleasantly surprised just how much material is available on Australia's part in the Boer War.

Gigi and the Princesses
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting Suncoast Scribe!
I'm on a mission to locate gift my mom, dad, and sister can buy Gigi for Christmas. My daughter has asked for a lot of toys, but she already has so many and I purchased her top picks months ago. She is all set when it comes to toys. So, I just need to find some great ideas for other people to buy for her.
One of my favorite books when I was a child was this personalized book called "The Very Friendly Alligator". It had my name and address it in, as well as my sister and cousin. I felt so special when I would read this book that had me as one of the main characters.
I found this website called Identity Direct, which specializes in Personalized Gifts for Children. They have Disney Princess books that can be personalized for your child. Actually, they have a whole line of Disney Princess items. How cool is that? Since Gigi is Princess obsessed, I am forwarding the link to my sister now. It will thrill her to see a book about not only Arial and Cinderella, but also herself.
I've got my eye on some of the personalized ornaments myself.

At-Home Gender Swaying
Extreme Gender Swaying
New Here. Looking into EGS for a Girl
Joined 3-Aug-12
3-Aug-12 12:25 pm
I have been reading through this site and the forums for the past few days. I'd love to thank all of you for the wonderful discussions and information posted to date, especially Tamara. Tamara, you are amazing, and you've gifted this forum with your time and knowledge. You rock :)
A little about me. I'm 27 and I have 3 wonderful children already. Boy, girl, boy. Both of our boys are on the autism spectrum. One of my half brothers also has autism and my other half brother has aspergers. 2 of my 3 male cousins had learning delays growing up as well. We've decided to TTC for a girl this time, though I will admit the autism is not the only reason. We just really enjoy raising a little girl and our little girl wants a sister.
We will be happy no matter what gender we conceive.
Still, we really want to sway for a girl, and after some thought I've decided if I'm going to sway, I'm going to give it my all and do anything I safely can without driving myself up a wall :)
We are not TTC just this second, however. We plan to start TTC in Late September/Early October. We want to take time to think it through a little more, mentally prepare, discuss what this means for our family, learn all we can about swaying, and do through some "practice" cycles so that I can re-learn my body (I remember I used to have a short luteal phase, but not sure if I do anymore). It sounds like for O+12 it's important to know your cycle well.
In the next few days, I think perhaps I might post my tentative "plan" for critique and suggestions. I want to make sure I fully understand everything I've read here, so feedback at that time would be appreciated.
Before I get started on that, however, I'd like to ask a couple questions.
1) With the rock salt lamp, do I need to worry about sodium? I saw someone mention they are nervous about using one because of the sodium.
2) For the girl diet, how early before I plan to conceive should I start? I'm already loosely following, but I want to make sure I get strict about it in time. Is a month before enough time? (In other words, could I start the diet when I ovulate in September if I want to TTC when I ovulate in October?
3) I want to try at home sorting. Should I do trial runs with this as well? How difficult is it? Can anyone recommend a microscope under $100? (I don't mind paying up to $100 because we home school and will get further use of it for science after this).
4) For supplements (including folic acid!), ions, etc, how far in advance should I start taking these things?
5) How effective is EGS if you participate in all of the 7 factors and do at-home sorting?
6) What is the correct procedure for collecting a sample from DH? Is there more than one way this can effectively be done?
I'm sorry if some of this WAS already covered in the FAQ section, however, some of the links did not bring me to content when I clicked them.
Thank you to anyone willing to offer their time to give a response!
DS1 (2005), DD1 (2006), DS2 (2008) and my SUCCESSFUL sway baby DD2 (due August 2013) !

I don't know about you, readers, but I love watching Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" on MSNBC. The man is just so full of zest for the stock market, you can't help but get excited about all the acronym's he jabbers on about. Well, in a recent interview, transcribed wonderfully by the Corporate Crime Reporter, Cramer's gives his take on the stock market as a whole, but took time to single out RIM and their recent issues in the market and how hedge funds can affect the numbers.
"A lot of times when I was short at my hedge fund, and I was positioned short, meaning I needed it down, I would create a level of activity before hand that could drive the futures,†Cramer said. "It doesn't take much money. Of if I were long and I would want to make things a little bit rosy, I would go in and take a bunch of stocks and make sure they are higher – maybe commit $5 million in capital and I could affect it.
Now, you need maybe $10 million in capital to knock the stuff down. But it's a fun game. And it's a lucrative game.†If you are short on RIM, "you can't let it lift.â€
"You can't foment,†Cramer says. "That's a violation. You can't create yourself an impression that a stock is down. But you do it anyway because the SEC doesn't understand it. That's the only sense that I would say that it is illegal. But a hedge fund that is not up a lot really has to do a lot to save itself. This is blatantly illegal. But when you have six days and your company may be in doubt because you are down, I think it is really important to foment. If I were one of these guys, foment an impression that Research In Motion isn't any good.â€
"Get people talking about it as if something is wrong with RIM,†Cramer advises. "Then you would call the (Wall Street) Journal and talk the bozo reporter on Research in Motion and you would feed that Palm has got a killer it is going to give. These are the things that you must do on a day like today. And if you are not doing it, maybe you shouldn't be in the game.â€
Remember, you can't take any chances with the truth.

Diabetic Neuropathy: Is Surgery An Option?
Understanding The Essential Elements Of Peripheral Nerve Surgery
One would perform this surgery with the patient under sedation or a general anesthesia with a local nerve block as a possible option. The outpatient procedure lasts about one and one-half to two hours. The surgical technique is beyond the scope of this article but involves the release of the common peroneal nerve at the neck of the fibula with release of the peroneal retinaculum in that region. The surgery also entails release of the deep peroneal nerve on the dorsum of the foot, including the extensor retinaculum over the nerve and transection of the extensor hallucis brevis tendon over the dorsum of the first metatarsal. The third nerve release involves the tibial nerve and its branches, including the medial, lateral plantar and calcaneal branches. Finally, one would perform an internal microvascular neurolysis of any scarred or fibrotic nerves in order to decompress internal fascicular compression on the nerve bundles as deemed necessary. It is not a very difficult process or surgery and the most difficult aspect is the tarsal tunnel region. There is also a rapid recovery process for the patient. One would emphasize no weightbearing or limited touchdown weightbearing for two to three weeks until removing the sutures. Patients may then progress to increased weightbearing, as tolerated, and physical therapy. In terms of complications, one mostly sees superficial wound dehiscence, which clinicians can treat very easily with local wound care and antibiotic therapy. There may be some mild increase in tingling and pain at first as the nerve begins to hyperreact to decompression but this pain resolves over time.
Ensuring Appropriate Patient Selection
To put it simply, this surgery is not meant for every patient with diabetes. The results have shown that the success of the procedure is not age dependent and that, with proper patient selection, the procedure will help improve pain relief in most cases. However, as I stated earlier, the initial problem was treatment of painful neuropathic legs. These patients cannot sleep at night, cannot walk well and often use multiple medications, including narcotics, to treat their pain. They are often young and would like to be more active. As the results have been good in the painful cases, the pendulum on diabetic nerve entrapment is also swinging to the extreme and patients with no pain are being treated with decompression for sensation restoration. This is far more risky and often surgeons are dealing with a patient who has no true symptoms and is only worried about possible ulcer formation. Why not treat such a case with insoles, local foot care education and observation? In most cases, including studies and results from Dr. Dellon, sensation restoration in a patient without pain is a 50-50 shot. In contrast, resolution of pain in cases of painful neuropathy is 80 percent successful when there is a positive Tinel's sign of the nerve region. The results of sensation restoration on the average non-symptomatic patient with diabetes are not good enough for me to pursue. That said, if there is a young patient with multiple previous ulcers, excellent circulation, a positive Tinel's sign and no pain, I may discuss the surgical options and note that it may help prevent ulcer formation if the patient can feel pain. However, my current protocol is far more selective. I reserve this procedure only for patients who have severe pain; no relief from pain with oral medications such as gabapentin or duloxetine HCl; excellent circulation; and multiple risk factors. In these cases, the results are far more predictable and the outcomes can change lives.

Was Descartes moonstruck?
Name: Jason L Browell Status: Other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Did any celestial changes occur when Descartes was at La Fleche?
Rene had "a broad education in the humanities at the Jesuit college of La Fleche" that lasted until 1615. Since he was born in 1596, he was probably at La Fleche from about 1610 to 1615. As for astronomical events, I immediately thought of Halley's Comet, and, assuming a period of 76 years, working backwards from 1910, Halley's should have made an appearance in 1606, a pretty major event for a ten-year old! Tycho Brahe had already observed the nova named for him in 1572, but Johannes Kepler was a contempo- rary of the young Descartes, having published his empirical laws of plane- tary motion in 1609 and 1619, another highly significant event! quote source: "The Development of Mathematics" by E. T. Bell, p. 138.

HG Lip Balm!!!
omg the SMELL!!! and the Finish!! only a slight tint (but hey its not a lipstick is it!) but it leaves my lips SO soft, not sticky, and i dont feel like i have an awful residue! it actually melts into my lips, and actually works as a face cream for my lips ( even when its worn off my lips are in much better condition!)
LOVE IT, i have the pomegranate too, and the body butter in quince is out of this world!!!
More reviews by departureofskies
I love this so much! It is a pretty bright pink color that looks good on my pigmented lips. It is very moisturizing and lasts a couple hours before I need to reapply (which I can do without a mirror). I will repurchase.
The Guava version impressed me so much I had to buy another one in a different colour. I will quickly say that yes, it's very soft and buttery with a nice texture, lasts longer than Vaseline but however is not the best moisturiser as far as I am concerned - there are better products out there for chapped lips ie Blistex - but onto the important thing, the COLOUR! I love love love being able to put true colours onto my lips, as so often (due to my super pigmented lips) any lip colour oxidises majorly after fifteen mins or so, and my stupid lips change the colour. This happens with all lipsticks and most glosses. After giving up and going au naturel on the lips, I finally found THE most pigmented lip balms on the market. The Guava is perfect for nude lips, and Vaseline Rosy Lips is my one true love for getting a coral-red tint! And now I've added Quince to my collection, which gives the perfect pink. Korres Lip Butters are so pigmented, it gives a beautiful petal pink colour to my lips which lasts for a good couple of hours if I don't eat or drink or rub my lips together, but because it is a balm it stays soft, satiny and shiny. These products are my new must haves, and I like the fact that Korres produces natural products. You don't get much in a little pot considering that they are £6, but compared to the £20 I used to fork out for YSL lippies that then went and changed to murky mauves and browns on my lips, what a bargain! I highly recommend these, and if you are interested in getting yourself a lip butter, the quince is the perfect bright pink.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I like this balm. The color is subtle but pretty and ripe, and though it only moisturizes superficially it has a nice cushion-y texture. I like the scent and packaging, and will likely repurchase.
I hate to bee the odd man out here but I hated this. In my honest oppinion it was drying. Yes it felt great on the lips, very light and melted right in but i found myself needing to reapply over and over because it wasn't long lasting, and the moisture it provided me wasn't long lasting either. I also didnt like the fact that it was in a pot, but I still bought it regardless because of all the rave. I will not be buying this again.
My skin complexion is quite fair (hovering between NC20/30) and my lips are naturally pigmented, muted pink. I'm a minimalist when it comes to makeup so powder, eyeliner and blush is all I really use so when I add this lip butter to the mix, it brightens up my whole look. It goes on very smooth, it's moisturizing and my lips look soft, rosey and healthy. Only downfall is that it doesn't last long and I have to reapply which gets annoying.
This is a nice smooth lip balm with subtle color and a light scent. It leaves a MLBB rosey dark pink on me. It could last a little longer, and I just hate to reapply because of the messy pot. The finger-dippin' is just killer.
This little jar of lip product is very emollient and looks very natural. It is a medium-rose in the jar and a deeper rose on my somewhat pigmented lips. It's called a "sheer pink" on the product description but on me it's more opaque with a sheen. It is buildable but I prefer just the smallest amount on my lips. The product doesn't last too long on me, but there's plenty in this $9 jar for this winter and the coming months. It's a very nice way to provide color and moisture to your lips.
I bought this in a Lip Saver Roll with 3 balms, the Quince, Pomegranate, and Jasmine. this one if my favorite of the 3, it looks beaufitul, very natural as though it's my lips only better. it really is very moisturizing and lasts for a few hrs at a time. it makes my naturally very pink lips look rosy and healthy. i quite like this balm. for reference i'm NC30, and like I said, my lips are very pigmented on their own.

This is a pretty good lip balm. I love the color (a deep pink), and the smell of it. It is moisturizing on the lips and doubles as a nice, cream blush. I like how you can use it to give yourself a natural look, or build it up for a dramatic one. There is no detectable taste (which I personally dislike, but would be a plus for others). The lasting time ranges: sometimes it's gone after an hour or two; other times I would wake up in the morning to find my lips still moisturized. This reminds me slightly of RMS Beauty's lip2cheek in "Illusive," although I prefer the lip2cheek, because the ingredients are better.

On Sunday, April 22, more than one billion people around the globe will participate in Earth Day 2012, with the focus on protecting and preserving the environment. How has your dealership been recognizing the awareness month, or how do you plan to celebrate on the 22nd? Even if you don't have anything in place, it is easy to help make a difference for your Mother Earth. Here is a simple list to make your customers aware of. They may seem so very basic, but each can make a tremendous impact!
Use Your Cruise Control
Your customers paid for those extra buttons in their car, so remind them to put them to work! Using the cruise control can improve their fuel economy by up to 15%.
Recycle Your Used Oil
Explain to your shoppers that oil drained from their car is a valuable resource that can be re-fined and purified into high quality motor oil. Recycling used oil can conserve our nation's natural resources. The improper disposal of used oil can contaminate the soil as well as surface and ground water. It only takes one gallon of oil, the amount collected from a single oil change, to contaminate 1 million gallons of fresh water!
Maintain Your Vehicle
Make certain your customers understand the importance of a properly maintained vehicle. Having their vehicle tuned up regularly, at least once a year, will go a long way towards reducing air pollution, improving the car's performance, conserving energy, and saving them money on repairs
Get a Professional Car Wash
Your customers may not know that professional car washes are more efficient with water consumption than the usual do-it-yourself wash at home. According to studies, if everyone in the U.S. visited a car wash just one time instead of washing the vehicle themselves, it would save nearly 8.7 billion gallons of water! And remind them to clean out the extra "stuff" in the trunk and inside of their car, reducing the weight of the vehicle will help improve their gas mileage.
In case you didn't know, April is National Car Care Month, a nationwide effort that focuses on the importance of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair. This awareness month helps drivers understand the benefits and importance of car care for safer roads, cleaner air, energy conservation, and consumer savings.
What a perfect opportunity for you and your dealership to do something nice for your customers and community……with the added benefit of maintaining and building customer loyalty for you! Take the time necessary to help your customers understand how certain repairs can add to their vehicle's life, improve gas mileage and eliminate future, more expensive repairs.
Focus on one day, or celebrate all month. Draw a crowd by grilling hotdogs and burgers, provide ice cream and goodies. A bounce house will be sure to get you noticed and will keep kids occupied while their parents learn more about what you have to offer. Promote preventive maintenance by offering discounted oil changes with free multi-point inspections. Host free Safety Seat Inspections or have staff teach a "How to Perform Your Own Vehicle Safety Check" class. Offer free car washes with every service performed in the month of April. The ideas and opportunities are endless!
For more tips and ideas to make April a successful month, visit www.carcare.org. Please let us know how you and your dealership plan to recognize National Car Care Month!
Not long ago, I went to the local Ford dealership with my giddy, newly-licensed daughter. She walked briskly about 15 steps ahead of me, occasionally glancing back with the stereotypical teenage eye-roll indicating her frustration that I wasn't walking as fast and that I apparently did not share her level of excitement. By that evening, both of us were rather excited. Not only had her dreams of car ownership come true, but I had traded in my previous ride for a big, beautiful shiny new truck. We were happy women! Not only was I content that I was driving off in a vehicle with that wonderful new car smell, I was content knowing that I "owned" that salesman! I had just blessed the guy with not only 1, but 2 fairly quick and simple car sales and my expectations were nothing short of high. I had visions of coupons, offers, free oil changes and inspections – all sorts of "ass-kissing" coming from our grateful salesman.
As we all know, customer loyalty is the heartbeat of any thriving dealership. Fostering true customer loyalty requires some creativity and initiative on your part – but just a little effort will result in BIG rewards. Studies show that if you increase customer retention by just 5%, you could increase profits by a whopping 25% or more! It seems crazy then, that according to NADA and J.D.Powers, almost 90% of retail customers are never contacted after delivery. NEVER!
So here I am, just a stat. I fall into that 90% because after the painless sale of 2 automobiles, the salesman has never bothered to contact me. EVER. In fact, I had the hassle of calling him numerous times to get the window tinting done on the vehicles, that he so graciously "threw in" for us. Unfortunately, customer turnover is a fact of business life, but with a little appreciative TLC from the dealership, I would have faithfully returned, over-and-over. Silly salesman, my daughter was only the first of 3 eventual teenage drivers in our household.
Luckily we are more than satisfied with the vehicles we purchased, we LOVE them – and I will admit, they are affectionately known to us as "Shelby" and "Ladybug". Yes, somewhat goofy, my truck has a name. Goofier than that, however, is that I cannot recall the name of the man that sold me Ladybug, seems he foolishly never gave me reason to!
As we have all heard for several years, customers are on the Internet LONG before they step foot into your dealership. While online, hopefully your website content is interesting and engaging enough that the curious car shopper can't help but to up the phone and give you a call. And once this critical connection is made, make sure you hold onto them with all your might and reel them in!
One thing that is really important to your sales team is good phone skills. I know, you think that seems too elementary, right? Everyone assumes they have good phone skills because they can operate the device, but this couldn't be further from the truth. I am talking about phone etiquette.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. Think about it, every time you talk to a salesperson on the phone, you are left with an impression, I know I am. It may not be an honest representation of the service or product they are offering, but regardless, something sticks! If the person on the line appears disinterested, distracted, rude or rushed…. I cannot get off the phone fast enough and NOT do business with them! On the other hand, if the salesperson is courteous, knowledgeable, attentive and respectful….then they have my full attention and, quite possibly, my business.
The employees at your dealership need to be trained on proper business phone etiquette because every call is an opportunity to "WOW" a potential customer and influence them to want to do business with you. A phone conversation is usually a consumer's first personal contact with your dealership, to insure it is not their last, make a positive and powerful impression that can develop into a memorable (and profitable!) customer relationship.
As we all know (at least I hope you all do!), you can never really have too many photos to help highlight and market your vehicles, right? Well, it isn't just photos you need, it is good, quality photos that make your inventory "POP" and help market your vehicles effectively. Here are a few ideas to keep in mind when photographing your inventory.
The absolute best natural lighting conditions for you to photograph your cars will be early in the morning or just before sunset. If at all possible, avoid shooting in harsh, glaring mid-day sunlight, or you will end up with color-faded paint on the car's top surfaces and murky shadows on its lower regions. Your best shooting days are those that are overcast. Keep an eye out for any separation in the clouds, as this may cast unusual and uneven reflections on your vehicles and lead to unusable pictures.
To help get some of your best images, a basic rule of thumb is to set your camera to "Forced Flash" or "Fill Flash", not on "Auto Flash". It is really important to use the forced flash mode in bright sunlight. I know, I know, it sounds like you should do the opposite – but you are not actually "adding" more light to the picture, you are "redistributing" the light. This will illuminate the shadowy areas of your car and reduce the glare from the bright areas allowing you to capture a much better image of the vehicle.
As far as an automobiles color is concerned, the best time to photograph your darker vehicles is in the evening or the morning, when the sun is below the horizon. Bright cars are better to photograph when there is some sunlight present, but again, not harsh, overhead, mid-day sun.
For capturing your best interior shots, a white card, like a poster board, can be used to bounce some light off of the headliner to illuminate the inside of your vehicles. To best highlight all the bells and whistles in the dash, the white card can be propped on the backseat to reflect some light on the dash and show off its features
While shooting, be aware of your surroundings and all the extra distractions near your vehicle. Signs, telephone wires, trash cans, poles and customers wandering your lot are just some of the things in the background that can take all the focus and emphasis off the car you are hoping to sell.
A really simple trick for making your shots more appealing is to wet down the area where the car will be photographed. This will darken the pavement and provide a nice "highlight" effect. Remember my previous tip, though, and make sure you don't leave a "distracting" hose or bucket lying around!
Unfortunately, chances are you are not going to be shooting your inventory in a comfortable studio with perfect temperature and lighting conditions. Don't let this worry you! Even if you have to shoot your "subjects" outside, there are plenty of opportunities for capturing some fantastic shots on your lot that will "WOW" your customers.
Can you top this for a bizarre story? Imagine John Onak's surprise when it was brought to his attention that there was a dead man riding in his passenger seat! Tuesday morning the driver "unknowingly" struck a pedestrian along Interstate 45 in Houston. Not only was the impact strong enough that the victim's leg was left at the scene, but the rest of his body smashed through the windshield and landed in the front passengers seat. As astonishing as it seems, Onak was unaware of the gruesome body in the car beside him and continued driving down the road! Two miles from the accident, a county constable spotted the severely damaged front end of the Mazda, pulled the car over, discovered the victim's body, and questioned Onak about his "unusual" passenger. Unbelievably, it wasn't until then that the driver even noticed the dead body! title="Gruesome Ride on the Gulf Freeway!">http://bit.ly/lOj43B
In this digital world, customers have powerful technology on their side. The Internet has fundamentally changed how automobiles are bought and sold. Car buyers have infinite choices, instant access to information about every potential purchase, and the ability to competitively compare prices. Customers are gaining more control of, and contributing more to, their own consumer experience and decision making process – making it more difficult for sales people to engage and making every deal more competitive. These are the most empowered consumers in history, and make no mistake, THEY are in the driver's seat!
Before they step foot in your dealership, today's average car shopper has thoroughly researched and educated themselves on everything to do with a possible car purchase, in fact, the need to actually visit the dealership is sometimes completely eliminated! In some cases, they just may know more about the car they are considering to purchase than the salesman that greets them at the door with a smile and extended hand!
This new generation of Internet-empowered car buyers is tough, the negotiation advantage is now in THEIR corner! They are demanding greater transparency in the buyer-seller relationship. They expect consistency and value, quality and service. The sales focus has shifted from price haggling and payment to consumer needs and value. Your sales force must quantify the advantages of owning your brand versus the competition. Differentiating your competitive value is key, and will allow you to shift from selling "price" to selling "value". Gone are the days of the stereotypical pushy, hard car sell – these "Vigilante Consumers" will not be intimidated! They are smart, savvy and informed, and perfectly willing to go elsewhere to get what they want.
It's a jungle out there – dealerships that recognize this empowerment and the importance of developing relationships and delivering a consistent customer experience will gain and maintain the competitive advantage!

Pocket Gophers are native to California, active all year-round and do not hibernate. Peak times for mound building begin in Spring and continue through the Fall.
Corky's Pest Control technicians are highly skilled in assessing the degree of infestation and applying the appropriate control measures.
An unoccupied Gopher System is a furnished apartment waiting for a new occupant. Therefore, Gopher Services are priced per application.
Corky's Pest Control utilizes two methods of Gopher Control.
- Smoke Cartridges: A flare-like device, that when ignited and properly placed in the Gopher Tunnel causes rapid asphyxiation.
- Gopher Scram: Alters Pocket Gophers environment by making their food source unpalatable and making surrounding soil smell bad.
Keep in mind a regularly scheduled Gopher Service is imperative in controlling this type of damaging rodent due to their comprehensive tunnel systems.
