Looking for a diesel possibly
I posted this in the E90 section earlier, then I found out there's a whole sub forum for diesel! Just want to get your guys thoughts. Here's a copy and paste from my other thread.
I'm getting rid of my 545i and was in the market for a 335i coupe or sedan, or possibly a 535i as well. The other day while picking up parts at the BMW dealer I came across a 2010 335d in Monaco Blue and it looked amazing. I ended up taking it for a test drive and enjoyed it very much. The only weird thought to me was that it's diesel and I've never owned a diesel before. I've driven diesel pickups before but of course this was different. It seems to be pretty loaded judging by the build sheet and window sticker.
I went back and test drove it again just to be sure about it and I still really liked it. The only issue I could tell from test driving is that the turn signal indicators don't make any noise at all. They flash inside and outside but no noise is present. I thought it was maybe a setting on iDrive or something but neither me or the salesman could figure it out.
So then I asked for the Carfax. It's had 3 owners (red flag?) and was originally a California car. Made its way through the midwest and ended up at my local BMW dealer. There were a couple things I noticed on the Carfax besides the basic maintenance intervals. At 66k the mass air flow sensor was replaced, the cylinder head gasket was replaced and at 66,688 miles it says that the engine compression was checked and then the engine was replaced! Salesman says it was most likely a good will replacement by BMW since it was out of warranty and it does show that it was done at a BMW dealer. Otherwise it is a clean title. I had the sales guy find a more detailed service record and right before they replaced the engine it says a "loose connecting rod" was detected.
On one hand the thought of a engine replacement is kind of positive because its a new engine, but the other part of me thinks what else could go wrong? I'm no stranger to BMW maintenance especially after owning an N62 powered vehicle. What are you guys thoughts? The diesel currently has 88k miles.
Before you make your purchase please familiarize yourself with the carbon build up (CBU) issue. It has not afflicted all of the E90 d's here in the States, but a good number of them. Root cause is not known by the general public, and the theories range from too much EGR to excessive oil vapor to low quality fuel. Just do your due diligence before making the decision.
Good luck
I've been reading up on it as much as I can lately. I've ran across so many acronyms that I can't figure out what they mean. I've figured out DPF and CBU. What is DDE?
I'm dealing with a carbon buildup issue on my 545i but it most likely will not be fixed before getting rid of it.
BMW apparently went through several iterations of the DDE (Digital Diesel Electronics or Dwight David Eisenhower if you wish!) before they ended production for the North American market around October 2011. Seems that a good number of these cars had repeat injector problems and seemed to be fixed with a DDE replacement and/or reprogramming. It makes sense that the engine management system has an effect on carbon buildup (CBU) as it coordinates most of the engine functions that have to do with combustion and emissions.

Cosmo Castorini: Thank you, Rose. - Moonstruck
The 335D is an amazing car and BMW is unlikely to ever import another like it to the US. Closest will be the 535D. CBU will happen to all of them sooner or later, but then as everyone knows happens to gasoline engines as well. A big difference is for most gasoline engines CBU will likely not occur for 100K-200K miles. For the 335D, seems to happen to many in the 50K range. Also due to the complicated ports to swirl the air as it goes into the cylinder on the diesel, is much more difficult to clean.
But I would not let that deter you, as there are now proven procedures to deal with CBU. From what I have read there have been random issues with the DEF system that do not seem as common as CBU. For me I had CBU at 53K miles that was taken care of and no other issues with the car.
Bottom line, try to have an extended warranty if you purchase the vehicle.

2015 X3 xDrive 35i Melbourne Red
2015 M4 Convertible Sakhir Orange
2015 M3 Silverstone Metallic
Well...I'm pretty disappointed. I was thinking an off-lease 335d would be a good fit for my family, but CBU threads have convinced me otherwise I test drove one yesterday and REALLY liked it.
We've always bought off-lease and drive the wheels off our cars. Had a '96 Taurus die at 295,000 miles. Sold a 2000 Chrysler Mini-Van with 255K miles after A/C crapped. Currently have a 2009 Enclave with 130K on it and a 2003 325i with 278K on it. Haven't had any issues with the Enclave (other than a Catalytic Converter while still under warranty). The 325i has been good to us. Only had major issues recently with bad idle/stalling. Went ahead and on my own did intake stuff (ICV, MAF, DESA, Boots), Oxygen Sensors, Plugs, Fuel Filter, and Fuel Pump. Then had Indy shop do Crank Case hoses, plus PS hoses and other hoses that were leaking, plus had broken rear springs. After almost $3,000, have the car running good again.
The plan is to turn over the 325i to my daughter who's turning 16 in a month, then buy the wife a newish car. She's basically gave me the narrow field of buying her a 3 series. She drives about 90 miles roundtrip daily to work. I also drive around 22K annually for my work. The Enclave serves duo service as car for work and family averaging 19MPG. I was suggesting to her maybe a VW Passat Diesel for room for family (when all the room of the Enclave wasn't needed) and fuel efficiency to help with gas bill. That wasn't going so well, so saw the 335d and there were 2011's in Mid-20's around and thought we'd found a solution that we both would be content with. Although, it'd be tough to do family trips in 335d because I'm 6'5" and don't leave much room for anyone behind me (thus the thought of the Passat).
I could probably lived with the 335d if it was just a CBU cleanout every 50K or so...but just can't risk the $4K-$10K+ damage it does that some have reported Sounds like BMW is soooo close to a winner, then just reinforces to the anti-Diesel Americans why they should stay with gas.

I plan on keeping mine for a long time with the expectation it will need CBU cleaning about every 50K miles. They need to make refurbished/pre-cleaned intake manifolds available to save the expense of replacing them.
I also keep cars a long time, but not nearly as long as you. We had a '87 Taurus that made it to 165K, until my son totaled it. Currently we have the 335D with 55K, the 540iT with 155K, and my son has my old 328i with 190K (original clutch!). All 3 BMWs use no oil, down less than 1/4 quart between changes.
1) Earlier in the history of CBU for these engines, service departments didn't know what was going on (actually, early in the 335d/X5d life the techs were pretty useless and un-informed about these engines). Many/most service departments saw codes for injectors/misfires etc. and did what they thought were right: replace injectors. And at $500 an injector that quickly added up. The next step appeared to be to replace the DDE after repeated injector/misfires - that made sense because the drive electronics for the injectors is part of the DDE. Only when things continued to go wrong was the intake manifold removed, and head cleaned. The SIB governing CBU cleaning seems to cost in the $1200-$1500 range. Obviously, some experience in the service department to CORRECTLY diagnose the problem is needed so that the SIB is followed rather than all the other non-correct stuff done.
2) Randomness. At almost 87K, I've never had a problem with anything but the DEF/SCR (had one oil line to the turbo fail, an early injector out-of-range.) Mine is just humming along (actually, the engine emits more of a growl), still gets upper-30s highway, still spins the wheels if you step off too smartly, still gets into the traction control on full-throttle acceleration on the 2-3 upshift. There has been speculation that urban driving is not a good thing and that highway runs keep down the CBU - but hasn't been proven. Some speculation that the low-pressure EGR on the X5d, and their heavier load keeps it from happening on the X5d (or at least limits it - some has been reported.)
3) Fuel? Who knows. I live in a CA emissions state and the fuel is arguably better (cetane and etc.) than non-CA states. I also run 5% biodiesel (can't avoid it) that improves lubricity, etc.
4) Future worries? No-one's yet really gotten to the mileage where the DPF/OC fail and need replacing - it's a $2500 part. SCR system - BMW has to figure out how to replace parts in the DEF tanks that currently requiring an entire tank replacement. Longevity of tranny - it's a heavy-duty item that seems to be pretty robust, but it's not the same unit as in 335i/328i so we have little history.
IMHO, the issues with the 10,000 335d (and the similar number of X5d) are overblown - remember that you usually see only complaints here in the forums. They're still a risk, but given good service and diagnosis, and a willingness to pay the typical high BMW maintenance costs, a 335d might well be a risk worth taking.
The only way own BMW's is buy it new, drive it for the warranty (years or Mileage) than get another one. Money is not a concern to save a few thousand on getting a lease return or demo when talking a
75K+ car. its just worth the lost to be first owner and scratch it, spill stuff, not have to maintain, let the next maintain if want too. On the diesel, open road great, moves right along. In town can be
sluggish from stop light to stop light and you got the clatter. Going back to the V8 here just more responsive for town driving.

Couple of patrol missions needing fixed
Since we have a moment and Dan seems to be buys poking around the forums thought I would repost this.
I posted it it Fed gameplay but got no feedback.
Leveling a new Engineer Fed and noticed a couple of patrol missions that should have diplo xp since both seem to be the prototype on which exploration cluster diplo xp is based. Yet neither one of them give diplo xp.
They are:
1) Cernan patrol mission in the Kassae sector
2) Honod system in the Xarantine sector
Neither gave diplo xp and they should.
Also the Erickson or system patrol has some features that seemed to be left over from the revamp for the Klingon raids. The sattelite now has a power converter you can target and fire on. Of course it makes sense for the klingons but not the feds thought maybe this could be looked into.

K.Michelle took another shot at Tamar Braxton as she explained how their problem with each other really began.
It's pretty much an established fact that Tamar and K.Michelle don't get along. Although they'd been pretty quiet about their feud this year, Tamar tried it recently by claiming that K.Michelle got a wig just like hers. While the "V.S.O.P." singer seemingly replied to Tamar's shady tweet for no reason, K.Michelle explained that the timing made it pretty obvious that "The Real" host was talking about her.
"Out of nowhere, Tamuppet attacked," K.Michelle told Power 99 in Philadelphia, pointing out that she was promoting her album on "106 & Park" when Tamar sent the tweet. "I don't have no problem, but I guess it's very depressing to be a 40-year-old muppet still trying to shake and make it."
She questioned, "It's a wig. You're 40 fighting over a wig?"
K.Michelle doesn't get why Tamar still seems to have a problem with her after all this time, especially since she's been trying to play nice.
"I wasn't doing anything, I was working. I have actually even said good things, I like 'Love and War.' I like the record," K.Michelle pointed out. "I've been saying really positive things about this woman, and she just can not take it. She can not take all of me and that's really what it is."
But the root of their dislike might have originated from their first and only gig together where Tamar was demoted from headliner to opening act. K.Michelle wasn't necessarily looking to snatch the spotlight from Tamar, but she said show organizers decided to upgrade her.
"We did a performance together and she was supposed to be the headliner, but I wound up being the headliner. That was a consensus of everybody," K.Michelle claimed."You can't necessarily be the headliner when you're lip-synching the whole show. That is what it is."

I complied with the money hungry buggers so I could get my truck back without booking another appointment, but that seems to be what you get when you ask them to fix something that is owed to you by a warranty without given them any of your money....
im sorry but i would trust a dealer way more than a quick oil change place ive heard to many oh my oil filter fell off or my drain plug is stripped after going to a 15 min place hell ive even heard some dont even change the filter just shine it up

The National Flag Monument
Regarding the fancy-pants buses of South America, we booked into a cama from Cordoba to Rosario as we have been assured that they are vastly superior to the semi-cama which in turn is vastly superior to any bus I´d ever been on before Chile and Argentina. But I guess I'm a classy bird with a taste for comfort and so for this trip we booked cama.
Unfortunately, despite our seats ability to recline 160 degrees and the nicely polystyrene packed snacks doled out on a silver platter (ok, no platter, but nice snacks), an hour or so into the journey, there was a bit of a 'putt-putt-bang' and the engine on our cama bus failed dismally and we ended up sitting, albeit terribly comfortably, on the verge watching the traffic streaking by. Despite my lack of the language, from the lengthy discussions I ascertained that there was an electronic fault, that the driver was worried but expected a bus to arrive in forty minutes, that the lady with the bouffant in a cardigan that a female Carrington would have worn was terribly annoyed at this (she brayed angrily and gesticulated wildly), that the business man at the front was resigned
Spray-on bicycle
You may not be able to ride it, but it will never be stolen...
to the fact (he shrugged his shoulders and reclined his seat back a little further), and that the beautiful young Argentinian girls in front of us didn´t mind particularly and continued to flick their long, straight, shiny hair from side to side, gossiping as they did.
Eventually the driver managed to hail down a rival companies bus and we all bundled off. Grabbing our backpacks, Alan and I went to the other bus, noticing that many of our fellow passengers, the bouffant lady, businessman and beautiful young girls, turned their noses up at bus. It was a semi-cama. They decided to stay by the side of the road and wait for a cama. I thought about it for about ten seconds and then decided that I'm not such a classy bird after all and jumped aboard the semi-cama, the polystyrene box of treats garnering much excitement and envy from my fellow semi-cama passengers who had never before seen such luxury, and we zoomed on towards Rosario.
Rosario is a very pretty town, and this is where Ché Guevara was born (we actually sought out his first home one day, in an apartment block without a plaque - pity
The ghost of Kurt Cobain
haunts the streets of Rosario
he wasn't a Dubliner, we have a plaque for pretty much every free gig either U2 or the Boom Town Rats played in Dublin - I fully anticipate we'll walk by our house when we get home and there will be a plaque up saying 'this is where Alan and Aoife once lived, and we were so delighted when they left that the neighbours all got together to put this up in celebration').
We wandered around Rosario, stopping for some steak and chips in a lovely bistro. The man who made the Argentinian flag, Manuel Belgrano, was from Rosario so afterwards we looked at a big monument to him which has an eternal flame burning. I quite like the Argentinian 'banderas' or flag with its triband of blue and white and the striking yellow sun. Alan mused that perhaps Antonio Banderas would be known as Tony Flags if he was from Ireland and may have had less allure as a result.
Around this time we began to notice that many street names seem to be the same in different Argentinian cities - there are 'Independencia', 'Bolivar', 'Plaza de Mayo', 'Cordoba' and numerous others that seem to pop up,
Imprisoned pooch
A poodle watches the world go by without him
which is a tad disorientating as you whizz from city to city, and sometimes when you're a little tired and not so good at directions, you get baffled (i.e. I got a bit confused in Rosario on one street, thinking that I was going batty as I thought it looked entirely different than I remembered, until I realised I was actually remembering a street of the same name in Cordoba).
Our hostel was run by a family of characters, along the lines of Fawlty Towers. It was quirky, charming and a little unusual. For example they didn´t have any record of our booking, then they gave us the wrong key for the room, then they realised they didn't know where the right key was and had to try around fifty of them until they found the right one. Then they didn't serve a breakfast even though they said they did, and when we went to leave they didn´t know how to charge us - perplexing!
However Jose the owner was a real charmer and one evening while Alan was chilling in the room, I was sitting outside and he came out and started yapping away to me, and
Sun and sky
Argentina's national flag, Rosario
we tried to communicate despite a lack of understanding of each other's languages (he spoke Italian, Spanish and Portuguese while I struggle with English, Irish, German and French and have about twenty words of Italian, Spanish and Portuguese combined, know about ten words of Japanese and Chinese, can only currently remember three Russian words and one Mongolian - so as one did, I waved my hands a lot and used all of my words from all of these languages and he listened patiently nodding and then burst out with his own load of words and gestures).
Anyway we were there having a conversation of sorts when suddenly he got very excited and zealous and ran inside, grabbing me by the hand and proceeded to sit me on a chair, produced a drum and insisting on giving me a lengthy one-man drum show, during which he either closed his eyes tightly or stared directly into mine without blinking, which meant I had to give him my full attention and was slightly dazed and a tad freaked out by the end of it. Not so Jose, who lept up from the drum and began dancing around to some Ricky Martin which
What's in the bag?
Aoife looking mighty pleased
was playing on the TV, I was content to watch, but of course he insisted I joined him.
So there are the two of us dancing around the sitting room to Ricky Martin, me practically in my PJs, nobody else there, a sixty year old man and a thirty year old woman, prancing around to 'she bangs' or something dreadful and I'm just delighted as we're on our own and I'll make my excuses in a second, when of course what happens but a few fellow hostellers returned to the scene. So Alan was up in our room chilling out, missing the show, while I was there dancing to a bunch of strangers practically in my PJs like some loonie, and when the other guys in the hostel tried to talk to me it became apparent that they had even less English than Jose so they took me for a complete weirdo, even though I tried to tell them was only dancing to Ricky Martin to keep Jose company and also because I felt like I had to do something to say cheers for the unexpected solo drum show and eye contact contest, and he then kept telling one
The streets of Rosario
Calm zone. Ahhh...
of these guys who was trying to rescue him from the PJ clad girl that I was ok, that I speak with the (he touched his heart) and I understand with the (he touched his eyes), well either that or he was saying, 'this girl she loves me (touching his heart), even though she doesn't speak Spanish, I see it in her eyes (touching his eyes). I said my 'ciao's' and fled.
One evening when we were avoiding Jose by wandering around the town, I spotted this beautiful boutique shop. I have avoided such places for the duration of this journey as I normally resemble someone who has been dragged through a hedge backwards and then sat on for a few days. However, the reason we´re in a bit of a hurry through South America is that we´re making our way back to Dublin for the wedding of Alan´s sister Orla and I can´t exactly turn up wearing jeans and a hoodie. So I wandered in, Alan following in my wake.
Shopping in South America is intimidating at first but if you stick it out, it is a wonderous joy. The reason it is a little intimidating is
What would prescribe for Vertigo?
Growing weary of his long, slow descent into irrelevance, Ireland's favourite crooner changes career
that there are oodles of staff working in all shops and once you wander in the door they come over giving you loads of attention. In Ireland when you get this much attention it typically means they think you are a shop-lifter. In my current state of attire, I suppose the first few shops where I received this attention made me feel a bit nervous and I kept expecting a police car to pull up by the kerb. But when I mentioned this to Alex (a girl we met in Mendoza) she laughed and totally agreed, but told me not to worry that they were only being helpful and gave me the following useful phrase: ´Solo estoy mirando´(I´m just looking). Now when I go into a shop I make some sort of attempt at that phrase and people back off, it´s wonderful, and then when I need help I just ask for it and to be honest I'm asking for help more frequently as the people working in the shops seem to know what I want more than I do myself.
In this fabulous boutique which I was perusing I did the whole ´mirando´thing for the first time and
Fine wines, fine times
Aoife raises a toast to Rosario in a Parisian style café-bar
it worked so well that the woman working there said, ´yes, and if you want anything, just ask me´in English. So I wandered about and ended up chatting with her, and then tried on loads of clothes, really nice ones. Of course, I´m a bit of a lunatic when it comes to shopping and ended up buying this really mad dress, instead of the perfectly respectable things she showed me, and the downright raunchy numbers too (I said, ´I´m not sure that I could wear that to an Irish wedding´as she showed me red dress after red dress along the lines of Boysie´s wife´s type of attire)
In the end I chose this dress that is like a tennis dress with loads of black and red paint thrown on it - I´m currently debating whether I look loonie in it or not - the lovely girl working there said, in a diplomatic tone, ´this is a unique dress, so nobody have a dress like this at the wedding´and do you know what, she´s probably right. It turned out that the shop is one of an Argentinian designer, Maria Vazquez, I really liked her stuff. They took the dress and
'E's are not good
folded it neatly, applied layers of tissue paper, a fancy box and an even fancier paper bag. So for one evening only I, Aoife O'Sullivan, sat in a fancy bar in Rosario drinking the most expensive bottle of wine on the list (€6) feeling like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman sans prostitution but avec Alan Ryan who at least it can be said has less grey hair than Richard Gere.
Furiously early the next morning all tissue paper, fancy boxes and bags were tossed aside and the dress was shoved (carefully) into the top of my backpack as we're off to the big smoke. Watch out Buenos Aires, here we come!

Lindas fotos! La bicicleta, el hombre viejo en la pared y el dibujo en el kiosco tienen sus significados culturales. La bicicleta esta relacionada con los desaparecidos en la dictarura militar de los años 70 en Argentina. El hombre viejo desaparecio hace unos pocos años, al denunciar a personas que estaban relacionadas con el ultimo golpe de estado en el pais. Finalmente, la caricatura pertenece a un artista rosarino llamado Fontanarrosa, destacado escritor y caricaturista internacional fellecido hace 1 año y algunos meses. Saludos Nice pictures! The bycicle, the old man on the wall and the cartoon on the kiosc; they have they´re own cultural significate. The bycicle's it´s relacionated with the people who was murdered by the militar people that took the goverment of the country in the 70's. The old man desapiered a few years ago, in a middle of a trial, when he report the name of the murderers of the people who desappiered or missing on that years. Finally, the cartoon belongs to an artist from rosario, named Fontanarrosa, a distinguished international writer who past away a year and a few months ago. Sorry about the translation, i did my best!

Best Home Away from Home
The fact that this home was in a gated community created an extra sense of security when being in a new place away from home, although the home also felt very safe and secure with extra locks on the two sliding glass doors out to the patio (especially since I knew my daughter wouldn't be able to get out there without adult supervision). My daughter was THRILLED to find a princess themed bedroom (there was also a superhero bedroom) and both sets of adults were incredibly comfortable in bedrooms with their own bathrooms. With a TV in each bedroom and living room, a relaxing patio, and a game room in the garage, there was more then enough space for everyone in the family to play together and have time away from each other when desired. Both Helen and the management company were wonderful to work with and extremely hospitable. I would recommend this home to any family that needs a home away from home!!! We will certainly be returning!!!

Proactive Claude Julien says 'nothing's changed' with Adam McQuaid
|04.10.12 at 1:05 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Adam McQuaid was once again absent from Bruins practice on Tuesday as he continues to deal with what the team is calling an upper-body injury.
Things got testy between coach Claude Julien and the media Monday regarding the defenseman's status and what the identity of the injury, and on Tuesday Julien addressed injuries prior to taking questions.
"Guys, before we get going," Julien said, "Injury update: It's the same as yesterday. Nothing's changed, and that's where we are."
McQuaid was initially hurt when he went into the end boards head-first in the Bruins' March 29 game against the Capitals on a hit from Capitals winger Jason Chimera. The defenseman cut his eye on the play, which led to swelling. He tried to return last Thursday against the Senators while wearing a visor, but left the game in the second period. The team considers him to be day-to-day.
Johnny Boychuk (knee) and Tuukka Rask (abdomen/groin) both practiced Tuesday for the second consecutive day.

Could drone surveillance be the answer to conservative's immigration uncertainties? Republican senators got together Monday to discuss their ideas on how to ensure tight security between the U.S.-Mexico border if in fact the immigration bill were to pass. Putting into action their notions to strengthen homeland security, Republican senators shared their ideas with a plan to get conservative's on board with their proposals. Reuters reports:
The proposal is aimed at a satisfying calls by Republicans for further steps to secure the U.S.-Mexico border as part of the legislation currently being debated in the U.S. Senate that would grant legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants already in the United States.
It could include provisions for deploying high-tech surveillance equipment and other specifics, according to congressional sources and people close to the talks.

NHL Western Conference Playoffs-Betting Update
The Stanley Cup Western Conference semifinals got underway this weekend and while Phoenix has carved-out a two-game lead at home, Los Angeles continues to find ways to win on the road.
The following is a closer look at each of the two series along with some up-to-date betting trends that will help to handicap this week's games.
No. 4 Nashville Predators vs. No.3 Phoenix Coyotes
Nashville rolled through the Detroit Red Wings in five games in the first round and came into this series as 135 favorites to advance to the conference finals, but suddenly finds itself down two games to none after a 4-3 loss in overtime in Game 1 as a 109 road favorite. This was followed by a 5-3 loss in Sunday's Game 2 as a 119 road favorite.
The Predators now head back to Music City where players such as Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn , who have combined for 10 points in the postseason, are going to have make some noise in the next two games to tie things up. Nashville will also need a better effort from Pekka Rinne, who has given-up nine goals in this series after posting a 1.81 goals-against-average against Detroit.
Phoenix had to battle its way into the playoffs by winning the very competitive Pacific Division and has made the most of the opportunity with a six-game first-round series win over Chicago and 2-0 series lead in this one. One of the main reasons that the Coyotes have done so well this postseason is their ability to win close games. In six overtime games, they have scored the winning goal in four of them.
The key contributors for Phoenix have been center Antoine Vermette and defenseman Keith Yandle. Vermette has five goals in eight games and Yandle has seven assists, but it has been a total team effort with nine other players chipping-in at least four points so far. Mike Smith has been outstanding in goal with a 2.03 GAA and a save percentage of .943.
Betting Trends
The Predators are 4-2 in their last six road games and 7-3 in their last 10 games overall, but just 1-5 in their last six conference semifinal games. The total has gone 'over' in four of their last six games in the conference semifinals.
The Coyotes are 11-2 in their last 13 games overall and 6-2 in their last eight games at home. The total has stayed under in eight of their last 15 games.
Head-to-head, the road team is 6-2 in the last eight meetings and the total has gone OVER in seven of the last eight games in Phoenix.
No.8 Los Angeles Kings vs. No.2 St. Louis Blues
Los Angeles has been giant killers so far in this year's playoffs with a 4-1 series win over No.1-seed Vancouver in the first round by a combined score of 12-8 and a 3-1 victory over the Blues in Game 1 of this series as a 142 road underdog. The Kings opened as +150 underdogs in this series but are in perfect position to take a 2-0 series lead with a win on Monday night as 135 road underdogs.
Dustin Brown has been a force for LA in the postseason with four goals and two assists, but much of this team's success has to be credited with the play of goalie Jonathan Quick. He has been one of the best in the NHL all season long, but he has elevated his game in the playoffs with a GAA of just 1.49 and a .955 save percentage.
St. Louis also lost the first game of its first-round series with San Jose 3-2 in overtime as a 157 home favorite before reeling-off four straight victories to send the Sharks packing in five games. The Blues outscored San Jose 13-7 in those four games and held the Sharks to one goal or less in three of them.
The key goal scorers for the Blues this postseason have been Andy McDonald and Patrik Berglund, who have combined for seven in six games. Brian Elliott has done an excellent job in goal in relief of an injured Jaroslav Halak, who is still recovering from a groin pull he sustained in Game 2 of the San Jose series. Elliott has gotten the job done with a GAA of 1.51 and a .944 save percentage.
Betting Trends
The Kings are 4-0 in their last four games as underdogs on the road and 4-1 in their last five playoff games as underdogs. The total has stayed 'under' in four of their last five conference semifinal games.
The Blues are 35-16 in their last 51 games as favorites at home but just 1-5 in their last six conference semifinal games. The total has stayed 'under' in four of their last six playoff games as favorites.
Head-to-head, Los Angeles is 4-1 in the last five meetings but 6-14 in its last 20 games in St. Louis. The total has stayed 'under' in seven of the last eight meetings overall.

Biography Wikipedia
Sir Charles Jones is an American blues and Southern Soul singer.
Jones was born in Akron, Ohio. When he was young, his family moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where he was raised. It was in Birmingham where his singing career started. Jones taught himself how to write his own music, as well as arranging and producing it. In his early career, he worked under the guidance and tutelage of Marvin Sease. His style ranges from jazz to fusion, and from gospel to blues.
His first album, Sir Charles Jones, was released in 2000. A review in Living Blues praised Jones' vocals and stated, "for a largely-programmed effort, this disk percolates with sensuality and emotional heat." Jones' next album, Love Machine, spent 57 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, where it peaked at number 28 in June 2002. Living Blues credited the ballad "Is There Anybody Lonely?" for increasing the attention on Jones by soul and blues radio. The magazine added, "his success bodes well for the future of soul/blues as a viable contemporary music."
A motorcycle accident in 2003 left Jones in a coma for several days. After a long and full recovery, he released Thank You for Holding On in 2006. Two years later, he released a compilation album, My Story, and a music DVD, Sir Charles Jones: His Life & Times - Undisputed King of Southern Soul.^ Sewell, Rhonda B. (2003-08-08).

Ok... Anet is following the professions pattern ... Reveal new stuff sooner and keep one older stuff for later.
Would NOT work here...love the mesmers but don't really give a rats $$$ about asura.
Yayyyyyyy for sylravi release....booooo for not revealing last profession.
Masters of biological mayhem, the gardener is a nature-themed scholar profession. They rip through battle with deadly poisons; if one is lucky enough to stalk past their carnivorous plants, there's still the worry of biological warfare, insects and roots. They are naturally difficult to predict, using elixirs of random effects and their ability to switch skills on the fly. If a gardener is encountered, be cautious and never underestimate the power of their satchels.
They wanted to release at the same time as sylvari, because the sylvari is the race that brought to fore this profession.

You can tell the quality of life of people by what they complain about
What really scares me is that during the Q&A panel there at comic con they said the final profession was really controversial. This scares me, and has me thinking maybe we won't get the mesmer and instead will get something totally different. Frag it all, I might just go nuclear if its not mesmer.
There's plenty of controversy regarding the last profession... (biases intended)
1) those who know it's the mesmer, vs those who say it's not been proven beyond doubt just yet
2) those who know they'll wield guns, vs those who think they won't
3) controversy regarding interrupts, hexes, etc and how mesmers will work with or without those
4) of course, we have no idea what the profession-specific mechanic will be
5) and whether non-mesmers should be allowed to dress as well as mesmers

You can tell the quality of life of people by what they complain about
They can't just stand up and say "oh yeah forum adepts totally figured out what the last profession is". Other than what I said above, I really don't see controversy about this.
And all signs point to mesmer as the last profession. If it's anything else, I'll eat my bra. (I should be safe, because I don't own a bra... being a guy has some advantages)

You can tell the quality of life of people by what they complain about
A question I have since I haven't seen the video yet (and won't until this evening) is what exactly they said about how the last class is controversial. If it's just how it's being debated than nothing new, if it's in a "people are going to do spit takes when we announce it" then yeah that's significant.
Although they could break from tradition, there is no evidence whatsoever that they will. The only non-scholar that uses magic does not use guns or bows, which seems to say that magic and guns/bows do not mix. This points to a third scholar that does not use guns or bows. Sorry.
The only other thing I want to point out is that all scholars will have access to all scholar armors, and we've seen some fairly mesmerlike armor already so yeah, if they're mesmers they will get some good looking armor (if you count mesmer armor from gw1 as good, which most seem to).

Outdoor drinking is always a draw, especially in the summer months, the best time to come here. Try the sidewalk and backyard patios, especially if you need a smoke.

New Guided Alaska Nature, Wildlife and Birding Tour that is Lodge-based Announced by Naturalist Journeys
Top nature and birding company Naturalist Journeys announces a lodge-based Southeast Alaska wildlife and birding tour, an alternate venue providing an educational and intimate way to savor and explore Alaska´s famed Inside Passage.
Anchorage, AK (PRWEB) February 14, 2013
Naturalist Journeys, a top nature and birding tour company, is proud to announce their upcoming July 28 to August 5, 2013, Southeast Alaska wildlife and birding tour. With five nights at the Gustavus Inn near Glacier Bay National Park, two nights in Haines/Skagway, and a final night in Juneau, participants will be able to delve deeper into Southeast Alaska´s essence as they explore, hike, kayak, or relax at their own pace, not on a cruise.
"We have struggled for years trying to find a way to allow our participants to experience the beauty of Southeast Alaska without having to share that experience with 1200 or more on a cruise," explains Peg Abbott, owner of Naturalist Journeys, a nature tour company that offers specialty travel. "For our clientele, cruises seemed too large, too structured, or just too expensive," she continues. "By hosting a lodge-based tour, participants can more fully immerse themselves in the quiet, serenity, and utter beauty of Southeast Alaska. With a lodge-based tour we can set the pace, enjoy full days on the water for whale-watching and glacier-gazing, and return to cozy, locally-owned accommodations and dining establishments at night. Abbott stresses that small-scale ecotourism is vital to retaining authentic tourist opportunities in Alaska. Birding and nature tour participants can hike coastal trails, peek into tide-pools, identify the myriad wildflowers, and search for wolves, bears, and seabirds like murrelets and puffins." The nine-day guided Alaska tour is limited to 12 persons, and has options for fishing and flightseeing.
Find full details of Naturalist Journeys Southeast Alaska Wildlife and Birding Tour at http://www.naturalistjourneys.com/jcalendar/jc_AKsoutheast13.htm
More about Ecotourism in Southeast Alaska:
Together with Admiralty Island, Glacier Bay is recognized by the United Nations as a Biosphere Reserve; in 1992 Glacier Bay was recognized as an International World Heritage Site. Glacier Bay is not accessible by car, only by air and boat, and the town of Gustavus is as authentic Alaska as they come, with just 500 year-round residents. Wildlife abounds, with Bald Eagles, puffins, and Orca, Minke, and Humpback whales. Wolves, Grizzly Bears, Moose, Steller´s Sea Lions, mink and porcupines are among the other species to be found. Wildflowers abound at a Nature Conservancy Preserve close to town.
More about the Alaska Birding and Nature Tour, July 28-August 5, 2013
On this week-long wildlife and birding tour, participants enjoy historic lodgings with local hosts amid spectacular settings. The tour begins in Gustavus and ends in Juneau. After time in Gustavus, on land at Glacier Bay, and at sea in the Icy Straits, the group travels by air, flight-seeing their way to Haines, to take in another spectacular and wildlife-rich area based from an historic inn, also prized for its cuisine. A day-long trip to Skagway, a ride on the spectacular White´s Pass train and return to Juneau by ferry, is also featured. The tour is limited to 12 participants.
Company owner Peg Abbott heads up this summer´s guided Alaska birding and wildlife tour. At the helm of a top birding and nature tour company, she guides less and less each year, but says she can´t stay away from Alaska. Asked why, she smiles and says, "It´s a tough assignment, being pulled from the office and transferred to Alaska´s long summer days replete with wildflowers. Time for watching whales, savoring Gustavus Inn´s fresh cuisine and just to be surrounded by nature in Alaskan-style immensity —that is what makes Alaska one of my favorite tour destinations."
About Naturalist Journeys
Naturalist Journeys LLC, a top birding and nature tour company, offers specialty small group travel worldwide, from the western U.S. to Alaska, Hawaii and Florida, Costa Rica, Panama, safaris in Africa and more.

They are going ahead with a Justice League movie

And movies usually have bit higher standard when it comes to SoD. Superhero movies struggle with this but in recent years have gotten away with it pretty well and good. One of the reasons why I fear an "Ant-Man" movie is because I don't know how they're going to suspend the disbelief enough to make such a concept work in both the minds of the audience and in the more natural/realistic MCU. An alien we think is a Norse God? Sure, we can go with it. A man with a technological suit? You bet! A WW2 super solider (who's strictly no stronger nor physically capable than the max of what a human can so), works. The Hulk is stretchiest bit but cab mostly "work" since The Hulk is so main-stream "A-List" of the Marvel Characters.
But a guy who can will himself to shrink down to subatomic sizes?
a bit more than I think I can roll with.
Batman Begins went a long way to try and to establish how Batman "could work" in a realistic world and other than accepting the fact that Wayne can pull his stunts off without getting killed, captured, or eventually leaving enough forensic evidence behind to get caught is waved away because of how well the movie establishes him and what he can do.
Superman easily does it too with a hand wave, "Fuck it! He's an alien!" Wonder Woman is a goddess (or demi-goddess) and Aquaman is something of a "god" as well. (Comics have him stronger and more capable since he's from the bottom of the ocean so his ability to survive down there translates to great power on the surface.)
Something being "realistic" doesn't mean "fits in exactly with reality" it's more "how well we make you believe this is real."
A character would have to be consistent to be realistic Superman could be explained away with Star Trek science, deflector shields could make him bullet proof, a warp drive could make him fly faster than a speeding photon, there was an episode of people who moved faster than the blink of an eye. Throughout the various episodes each of the various abilities of Superman have appeared in different characters. The Borg for instance had their own personal deflector shields.

Just moved down here and looking to meet new people and explore the area.
Never really sure what to put here. I'm a firm believer in getting to know someone in person rather than through a computer... Can't take all the mystery and fun out of it! But what I'm looking for is someone who is intelligent, attractive, and has a light heart regarding life. A sincere smile that comes forth frequently and easily is very important. A certain body type is not crucial but I do want someone who enjoys taking care of themselves and makes time for physical activity. You'll also need to appreciate (or at least tolerate) my smart-ass, frequently sarcastic nature...all in good fun, I assure you. :) A little about me... (autumnjt20 at ya hoo) I'm reasonably well-educated, a professional, generally laid back, and enjoy remaining active. Rock climbing is my passion (although there's not much to be had in these parts). As you can see, I have a daughter. She is wonderful and beautiful and the most important little lady in my life! Any other questions, I'm an open book... Look forward to hearing from you!
