Different people like different things, I think it wasn't nice of that person to delete you from their friend list because you PVP. But you don't seem to speak very highly of people who stick to PVE either.
I like PVP in games that are PVP only. In games with PVE I don't really like having to make a new char and get PVP gear just to be somewhat decent. That doesn't mean I can't understand or respect those who want to PVP though.

I much prefer for people to be honest and tell me they never want to speak to me again then pretend-friends

I don't understand the original post. I personally am not into PvP but I make lots of friends who do and have never heard anyone say they wouldn't hang out with or be friends with a PvP player just out of principle. Are there really people like that?

I believe in life before death... So dont forget to enjoy it while you still can.

Make worlds not stories
One of the things I enjoy in a mmorpg is cooperative elements. With that in mind there are a few points to make from a general perspective based on my experiences.
Pvp has a tendency to be about You and only You, every pvp'er for themselves and the rest can go cry. It is not much about competition like a sport, but more how You can be superior to others. Pvp is generally not like some like to describe it as playing vs intelligence rather than stupid stale ai, it is more that causing grief to a machine is pointless when what You want is reaction and admiration.. Attention.
Now that is the ugly side of pvp that I don't like and unfortunately also by far the dominant. That said I have tried great pvp that I really enjoyed, and the key to these moments has always been, competition for the challenge and in a good spirit, and that the purpose is not killing other players but for example taken/holding a castle and the killing is what You do that fill the purpose and win the competitin, and last always always cooperative play so there is a tactical element involved.
Rarely does combat systems and settings support this kind of pvp. Often the opposite, and that brings another point. These kind of pvp mechanics almost always have a huge impact on how pve is played, taking out the tactical side of pve that I like because everything has to be simplified and balanced so pvp can work.
Even though some kind of pvp is to my taste I still only care for it in smaller doses, and for me pve is far more rewarding as long as it has room for surprices and challenges which often come from cooperative play.

Personally, I find PvP to be terribly boring. The modern PvP community generally has little to no honor, and are usually only looking for a cheap thrill in my book. Now, that being said, I used to be an AVID PvP gamer. I loved the challenge of an equal opponent, maybe slightly better or worse, and I loved the evolving challenge of fighting something that doesn't rely on a table of pre-determined tactics. I think Age of Conan shortly after Launch was probably my last enjoyable PvP experience.
Now, it's all about the gank. It's all about "Lulz, y u so mad?" It's not about looking for a challenging opponent in about as fair a fight as you can get, as it should be. There's no honor in it, there's no real glory in it, and even with full-loot what's the point of taking on anyone not worth the challenge? Loot? Pff. Any loot they may have is beneath you. You're better than that rank 2 or 3 sword when you killed them with a rank 6 or 7. Experience? Really, what did you learn? What taxing limits did your combat skills get pushed to that you had to invent something on the fly to kill them? Not buying that. Most PvP based sandbox games, which are what all the PvP guys cry for, don't give you exp directly anyway. The win? Alright, I might buy that, but where's the glory in beating someone obviously not up to par with you?
Group PvP content? Let's go there. Solid examples of games built around group PvP: EvE, Darkfall and DF:UW, AoC back in the day. Hell, APB was one built for it, and takes on a slightly different flavor. Once again, Darkfall and DF:UW, it's a game built for trolls by trolls. Seriously, anyone who's played the game knows it. Anyone who's listened to an interview with Tasos knows it. EvE... that's a different story. CCP is a good company, released a solid product, and have been faithful to it for years now. 90% of the PvP I got into in EvE, or even hear about going on in EvE, is "Let's find a way to gank these guys." Hi-sec suicide kills, miner baiting, you know what I'm looking at here. APB... I don't even know where to begin with that buy to win derp-fest. Age of Conan, at least early-on, was pretty good about the community being honorable and keeping griefing to a minimum. Keeping PvP actually competitive instead of "I learned this exploit, lemme show you." Or, "Hi, I'm level 80, you're level 25, looks like a bad day to be you." However, inevitably, the trolls moved in and put a stop to all that honor going on. Large groups of dudes just roaming around looking for some sucker who just happened to not have as many buds or ships, and instead of giving them a miss and looking for a real fight, smaller group gets roflpwnd and loses all their stuff.
I'm not saying that PvP'ers should cuddle up and sing kumbayah or anything, I'm just saying that they should actually look at what they're there to do. They're not there for the challenge, they're not there for a good fight, they're not there to PvP. They're there solely to troll. Which, so far as I see, that's what PvP gameplay has boiled down to now, trolling in videogames. And it's not the games, it's the community, almost always.
And I, for one, refuse to take part in it.
I'll stick to my dragon-slaying and dungeon-delving, kthx.

PvE players are emotional? I guess you've never known many people who PvP. I never knew any PvE players who sent hate tells to NPCs who killed them.

@OP: I see so many of these people in a game I play, funny because the game is fairly PvP focused with the game theme being player-factions wt war, but there's a sect of players that prefer crafting, tea-time roleplay and PvE and avoid PvP like the plague. To each their own, I guess, but it's funny to see them whine really hard about XP loss when they die.

The answer to that is simple Abusor, pvp'ers kill games. They descend on them like locusts and leave them a wasteland, lets take aion for example the game had a large community but it was all open world pvp for the most part. All it took was a few people to reduce that game from 17 servers to 4 and the same story carries on in many titles.
For the pvp'ers that play these games thier idea of fun is to make sure you don't have any, they're normally childred of single parant house holds or get bullied in school so they only place they can fell like they're superior in anyway is when they ruin someones day.
The only fairly modern game that I have played that is a bit different is EVE, that game can be brutal for both predator and prey where players put it all on the line,, its the only pvp centric game I can enjoy playing because if someone griefs you, you can always find a way to grief them back.

As a PvPer I find themepark PvP to be horrible. Either its pointless duels or pointless BGs. Open world PvP is ruined by levels in a lot of cases. So there's no real reason to PvP in PvE games.

Fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their own opinions. Pvbs 18:2, NIV
I don't judge people based on whether they are PVP players or not. I will however judge you in several dozen other ways, and having a lack of what I consider honor in your PVP conduct and attitude are right up there.
Emotionally attached to my character, sure, I would never consider selling any of them, they are a piece of me
But I think you are mistaking this for why I don't often PVP. Heck, that's easy, I really am bad at it, so why would I focus much of my time on it? I know you can beat me almost every time (unless I out-zerg you) so I save you the trouble by rejecting your duel requests or venturing on to servers where you might reside.
While I am clearly a carebear, my longest running MMORPG is EVE, which I've yet returned to for another go around. (almost 5 total years of subs, on multiple accounts.
What I do value is my time and getting ganked by you slows me down from achieving my goals, so I'm going to avoid you whenever possible.

Haha, I see a lot of people took my post personally.
I didn't complain about PVE players who play in RP servers or that just PVE all the time. I complained about the ones who invade PVP servers and get all emotional when something happens to their character.
If I gank you one time, I understand I might have messed up your quest, but for you to go to the extent of creating another character to whisper me from ETC when you're on a PVP server I mean, come on.
Yes I love ganking, I love finding some glitch that makes my gank all the more severe for you. Like luring you into a zone that has a steeper death penalty ETC.
I didn't come on here to express how much I love griefing other players (although I do). I was just making a point of how deeply emotional people can be regarding their video game account.
People get so mad their face gets red, over a game. It's a game, settle down, go play an RP server.

As a PvE player who rarely PVPs I have to agree with you. Anyone who rolls on a PvP server and then whines about dying is an idiot. If you don't want to PvP then you either need to
1) go play a different game
2) join a PvE server
3) get used to dying
4) make so many friends you have protection
If you have a choice, make the one that makes sense for your playstyle, if you don't have a choice then try a different game.

What I wonder is why you feel that player preferences need to be justified. What is your justification for requiring PvP as an aspect of your game play?

As someone that does both equally I can tell you that for every argument against slaying dragons there's a counterargument. For instance, I don't even consider you a real PvPer unless you're playing a game that's actually competitive like League of Legends, Dota2 or Call of Duty.
MMORPG PvP is just PvP make believe where it's more about if you happened to roll the most overpowered class of the month or not. MMO PvP'ers thrive on imbalance; where as, real PvP'ers thrive on balance, which is why they play games that have a slight semblance of it(aka no current MMORPG).

For the record, I enjoy pvp quite a bit and prefer the games that I play to have them (not a deal breaker if they don't). I have also noted that some pvp players (and raiders on the PvE side) acted like asses. So I can completely understand why someone wouldn't want to associate with what would be considered a "poisonous personality".

In Ultima Online there were a lot of PvPers that were out to grief people. They didn't attack in a fair fight. They attacked in groups or would always have an escape plan or game/bug exploit to abuse. They would look for weak targets so it would be an easy fight and they could loot/laugh at you in text chat. There was a pretty large hatred for PvPers in that game.
Aside from that I've never really been into PvP in MMOs. One major issue is class balance. If you look at the skills/attributes/abilities in MMOs these days they are all very similar and boring. This is usually a result of class balance for PvP.
PvP in MMOs is usually not much fun. In fact I don't find PvP that much fun in most games. Left 4 Dead might be one of the exceptions. Usually in MMOs PvP is not very good due to having classes/races/abilities/levels. It makes the PvP unbalanced or if it is balanced it makes the PvE very bland. It's something that is hard to make work well in an MMO. I usually found that playing PvE by myself or with others a lot more fun. Sure it's harder to play against real people and I like a challenge, but the combat never seems to be fun in MMOs with regards to PvP for me.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
The MBSR program will be offered at All That Matters in Wakefield, RI in Fall, 2015. There is a mandatory orientation, eight weeks of classes lasting two hours each and a Full Day of Mindfulness.
The dates for the Fall program are as follows:
Mandatory Orientation on Thursday, September 17, 2015 from 6 pm to 7 pm.
The eight-week session is on Thursdays from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm starting October 1 through November 19.

To sign up, go to All That Matters
MBSR is a technique developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 when he was at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. It uses the concept of mindfulness to reduce stress associated with medical conditions such as chronic pain and heart disease. The Stress Reduction Clinic has expanded into The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society and is still located at the University of Massachusetts.
Using present moment awareness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement we observe how we react to life. We can then create space to consciously choose how we will respond to our daily stressors rather than using our habitual patterns to react. Using mindfulness we cultivate a sense of well-being, confidence and creativity while developing renewed energy.
This program uses gentle movement, group discussion and specially-designed materials to support you as you go through the program. There is over 25 hours of classroom time included as well as individual instruction.

Does Lindsay Lohan Have a Case Against E*Trade?
If you really want to know when E*Trade (or its ad agency, Grey Group) turned the corner and decided to model the boyfriend-stealing baby after Lohan, Ovadia asserts, all you need to do is look at the ad's script. "This script is a very important piece," she tells us. "Because, slowly, all of the pieces are fitting together to make one complete picture."
That "piece" of the puzzle emerged this week via Esquire magazine, which happened to be embedded with Grey while they were crafting the baby ads. In the original script, dated Aug. 11 of last year, the "other woman/baby" character was named Deborah. In an updated draft six weeks later, the "bimbus" (which was eventually changed to "milk-a-holic") was changed to Lindsay. Adding confusion to the mix, the name Deborah was still referred to later in the script, but scratched out for the new name. Check it out:
As we previously reported, Lohan is suing the company for $100 million, insisting they modeled the baby after her. Ovadia insists that because of her stardom, Lohan now has single-name recognition among the general public.
In Esquire, Ovadia asserts that "though Lindsay is a popular girl's name, when you say it on television for advertising purposes, it's identifiable as Lindsay Lohan."
Lohan's mom, Dina, agrees, telling the Post that "everyone knows Lindsay, like Cher or Madonna."
Grey Group argues that Lindsay is a popular baby name these days and hinted that the milk-a-holic may have been named after someone working on the spot, also named Lindsay.
Lohan believes that under New York state law, E*Trade was supposed to ask for her approval before using the name. They want the TV spot off the air and want $50 million in exemplary damages and another $50 million in compensatory damages.
On Thursday, E*Trade issued a statement slamming Lohan's claims as "without merit" and vowing to "defend ourselves vigorously in this case." They say they were simply trying to be "witty and memorable" with the ad. Watch It:

Padres legend Jerry Coleman has died
"Don't get me wrong. Some of that modern-ballplayer stuff drove him crazy. But I never saw him lose his temper in 26 years, never saw him explode at something somebody did. I never heard him say 'That's dumb!' — and he could have said that to me 100 times a day."
Coleman borrowed the catch-phrase "Oh Doctor!" from Red Barber and Casey Stengal. It became his signature as well in San Diego, the one splashed across banner headlines when the Padres finally won a pennant in 1984. Whenever a Padres fielder made a tough play, heads in the ballpark turned backward to see if Coleman would "Hang a Star" on the glovework or a great throw.
"Back in grade school, we had a spelling test every Friday," Coleman said. "If you got all 20 right, you got a gold star. I never got a gold star."
Invariably, alas, references to Coleman's broadcasting got around to some of the descriptions that didn't quite come out right. "Colemanisms," they came to be known, and not just locally.
"He laughed them off, but he hated the living hell out of the malaprops and the attention they brought him," Leitner said. "I mean, he hated them. He'd go to Milwaukee and they'd do a 'Who am I?' thing on the scoreboard, then play a malaprop of Jerry's. That embarrassed him. Who wouldn't be embarrassed? For the longest time, too, I think it might've kept him out of the Hall of Fame.
"People are always rattling off Colemanisms to me. I say 'Look at the sum of the man.' When you think of everything else the man was about, the things he did in his wonderful life, who gives a bleep (expletive) if he misspoke?"
It was with both empathy and sympathy, but also disappointment, that Scully recalled how the mistakes followed Coleman everywhere.
"The malaprops mean nothing," Scully said. "You spend 3 1/2 hours every day talking and you hear everything coming out of your mouth. But what we do is like skywriting. You put it out there, but then it soon blows away."
Peers found humor in Coleman's play-by-play writing. Before his own death in 2011, Duke Snider recounted with great relish the story of how former Dodgers teammate Don Drysdale, also trying to parlay his playing success into a broadcasting career, joined Coleman in the booth and studied the way Coleman filled out his scorebook during games.
"Don said he understood everything Jerry wrote in the book, all the different marks he made and what they meant, except one," Snider said. "There were a few at-bats where Jerry'd written 'WW' and Don kept wracking his brain, trying to figure out what 'WW' meant. Finally he asked and Jerry said, 'Wasn't watching.'/i"
Scully said he remembered Coleman as not only a friend and colleague, but as a guest, one of the best he ever had. The occasion was a Memorial Day tribute.
"Jerry talked about flying in Korea and his plane being in trouble," said Scully, "how when one plane was struggling, all the fellows in the other planes would listen in and send up their prayers for the plane in trouble. It was a beautiful thing to hear about, a beautiful show, and he was ideal in the telling of it."

Lol! Of course he would get pancakes - I'm glad he found everything worth them! I think it's awesome that Jim asked Grant for them for Artie. All he wanted was a big stack of them after all, and a big stack he got! A dozen, geez. I hope he super hungry, lol! I think it was a nice touch in the beginning how even the doctor stresses the 'if.' They definitely should be getting a stay there after saving his life! Although I do have to say that I would prefer the vacation to medical leave. xDD
Anyway, I enjoyed this story and will continue to read (and most likely enjoy) others that you post. :D
| maurobar chapter 11 . 3/24/2013
I love the ending to the story. Yes the pancakes made it all worthwhile! I am looking forward to your episode tag and another story. Thank you so much. You made my day brighter.
| ColHogan chapter 11 . 3/23/2013
Too bad this story is over it was so good. You had Jim and Artie down perfectly. Glad to see Grant give them both a week off as his guests, even though Artemus is on sick leave and Jim's on vacation. And yes Artie, the pancakes are worth it. That's our Artie. Always thinking of food or women. I hope Grant sees fit to give both of them a medal for service above and beyond the call of duty for what they went through to save his life. Hope to read more of your work in this fandom.

Thanks for sharing. I had so much fun reading it.
| NightShadow131 chapter 10 . 3/18/2013
First off, sorry I missed last chapter. I read it I just didn't have time to review. ;-;
In the last chapter, I loved how when they hit the tree, Jim made it so Artie fell on him, even though it still hurt it would have been a lot worse otherwise! Very thoughtful of Jim. :D Btw, I was curious, in the show does Artie have a thing for pancakes is did you just decide to make it a joke in here? Since it was mentioned last chapter and again here, I was wondering. Can't believe that they ran into a tree of all things as well. Something was trying to be against them, but they got there in time!
Lol, I liked how Jim threw his ID at the guard. xD When you're in a hurry... Makes it really convenient for them that the president knows them, though. It would have been harder to protect him if they had to convince him that they were there to save his life as well! lol. It was a nice touch that Grant had Artie sit down, too. Running was definitely not good for him, but saving the president was definitely more important, lol! Way to go Artie! Knocking Grant out of the way. :D I liked Grant fussing over him too after he passed out. "For what, a minute? That's nothing compared to all the hours I spent unconscious over the past few days!" That right there proves just how much his head is affecting him, lol. Not a good idea to say that. xD
Sorry that this is all over the place. I read it a couple days ago on my phone but don't want to write a review on there. Much prefer a keyboard, lol. But I'll check out this forum you speak of. Can't wait for the next chapter. Are there going to be pancakes? xDD

| maurobar chapter 10 . 3/17/2013
Fantastic story! I have enjoyed this story more than words can say. I love the Jim taking care of Artie aspect and the weather playing a factor in getting to Washington on time. I am just sad that it is almost over. Thank you and I hope you write many many more stories for WWW.
| MrsPeelWe'reNeeded chapter 10 . 3/17/2013
The tables are turned. President Grand fussing over Artie this time.
| The Wild Wild Whovian chapter 10 . 3/16/2013
Whew! What a great ride! Poor poor Artie, with no less than the President himself being a mother hen at him.
Ok, looking forward to the tag. :-D
| ColHogan chapter 10 . 3/16/2013
Jim and Artemus make a habit, even in the series, of cutting things close. Glad that they reached Washington in time and got to the president. Also glad Artie saw the assassin about to im his weapon and alerted Jim. Maybe now, Artie will get some much needed rest to help with his concussion.
| Neshomeleh chapter 10 . 3/16/2013
I just love this story and I' the forum soon
| Diddlepie chapter 9 . 3/15/2013
Poor Artie. I do hope they make it and Artie doesn't just keel over! Keep writing!

This is a great little park with very clean restrooms. The staff was very helpful with registration, guiding us to our lot and making sure everything was in order.

New owner. Unapproachable manager. Mostly permanent old mobiles Very Dusty. Smelly sewer. Gave up $150.00 deposit to move elsewhere. Will never return. The old owners were great and there was no dust or smelly sewers. In short terrible management can wreck a resort in a few short months. - Ellington

Stoning in the barbaric past is one thing, but keeping the tradition alive and well into our new, 'civilized' society? Stoning women to death for being raped, stoning people to death for being gay, all while a McDonalds sign shines down from the heavens and cars go by? How can you not see the issue there?

Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial died on Saturday at his suburban St. Louis home. A cause of death was not immediately announced. Stan the Man was the second baseball icon to pass away in less than 24 hours. Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver died Saturday morning. Musial won seven National League batting titles, was a three-time MVP, 20-time All-Star, and helped the Cardinals capture three World Series championships in the 1940s. He finished his career with a .331 batting average and 475 home runs, earning him first-ballot election to the Hall of Fame in 1969. He retired in 1963 as the all-time National League leader in games, runs, hits, doubles and RBI. He became a team vice-president for the next 25 years. He also was general manager in 1967, when the Cardinals won the World Series. In his best year, 1948, he had four five-hit games, hit 39 home runs and batted .376, best in the National League. He also led his league that year in runs scored (135), hits (230), total bases (429...

Since joining Hudson's team in January, Roberts has enhanced the foundation's web presence and helped expand its reach beyond Hill Country schools, reaching San Antonio campuses this year for the first time.
"By teaching kids to tell their own stories, hopefully we can make them better writers and better readers and better citizens," he said. "Schools are cutting back on music and a lot of things that are important."
Using a computer to provide sound effects, Roberts told the Lighthouse students how family photos and Texas lore inspired him to create accounts of what he calls "fictionalized history." Everybody has a story to tell, he said — it's just a matter of finding your voice.
Student Erika Flores was impressed.
"He was a nice guy and he was a good singer," said Flores, 20. "I liked it because he was a great leader."
Schreiner honored Hudson's foundation work with a proclamation declaring Sept. 28 Kathleen Hudson Day.
"Kathleen is one of those people who doesn't just get good ideas, she makes good ideas happen," university President Tim Summerlin said. "She believed in what the music foundation was all about and pushed it and pushed it through lean times, so now it's good to see her celebrate the good times of the foundation and its work."
Hudson, who has also authored two books and writes a magazine column on Texas music, isn't resting on her laurels.
"My dream is to expand the Bard program across the state," she said Wednesday. "We're open to collaborating with other organizations, both on individual events and an ongoing basis."

Excellent food, comfortable atmosphere, expensive!Posted on 09 / 17 / 2014
Tibits has incredible food. The waitstaff are awesome - they are so friendly and helpful. Everyone knew what vegan was and all of the labeling is clear. You can even get puddings and toppings to make your own vegan dessert. We tried about everything vegan in the entire buffet and it was all really delicious. Actually surprisingly delicious & a lot more flavor than a lot of similar gorgeous colored buffets have.
However, if you are on a budget, this is probably out of it!!!!! A lunch buffet for 3 (without the dessert, which we got later) was over $70 US Dollars with the conversion from Francs. So it was basically a hundred dollar meal for 3. But our friend paid for us! So if someone is going to pay for you, go for it! If you're on a budget, you might have to skip this place.
A note on price: this is SWITZERLAND. Eating out, you really are not going to find anything cheaper.
We recommend this as the best vegan food we had in Zurich. The atmosphere was also excellent. We sat and chatted, had desserts and coffee afterwards. All of this while sharing tables with a variety of locals. We found this place very friendly and the food was exceptional!
Cons: SO EXPENSIVE

In the cold light of day, Mark Zuckerberg's squirming on the D8 hot seat doesn't look any more successful than it did last night. This latest privacy uproar is the Facebook equivalent of BP's leak and Zuckerberg's top kill failed. Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher gave him points for showing up — and so do I — but he had multiple chances to use the opportunity and never hit it. PR pros I talked to here last night were mystified, attendees were still talking this morning about the sweating (especially those watching on big screens) and the inability to answer tough questions with straight answers although he did apologize for actions when he was a student. My live Twitter coverage is here. Below you can watch much of it for yourself, including the "unboxing" when Kara talked Zuckerberg out of his hoodie.

I highly recommend Mayo to anyone who needs heart valve replacement surgery. I know that there are excellent heart specialists in MN, and the Midwest - few have the skill/capability/staff that Mayo provides for your care!

Re: Post your best pics of your CTS here!
Love the Vsport definitely considering grabbing one, since you own both the V and the Vsport, besides the obvious differences, which one gives you more driving pleasure?
I wish GM offered the Vsport with a 7-speed manual, anyway I loved how the Vsport delivers the power last time I drove one really enjoyed it, but my last test drive of a 1st gen V was too long ago for me to compare now.
Also, since it seems you are starting a collection of sorts there, have you considered a CTS-V coupe, an STS-V or XLR-V to add or swap instead of something else?
Re: Post your best pics of your CTS here!
Here's the latest modification picture that I've done to my CTS. Changed both front and rear bumper covers to the CTS-V bumpers with V grilles . Also got new fog lights and headlights (LED's to come), 2nd GEN style tailights. Changed out my grey door panels and center console to black. I also have the CTS-V rocker mouldings that I have yet to paint and install...On the look out for the CTS sport rims cts v replica (768x768).jpg

I am going to South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe. Are all of the necessary plugs in the box? Can I use them to charge my camera batteries?
I have a Canon camera battery charger and would prefer to only bring one set of adapters. Will the world travel adapter kit work with other non-Apple products?

Apple World Travel Adapter Kit

Best Answer:
The world travel adapter kit does not contain an adaptor for South Africa or Botswana, not sure about Zimbabwe though.
When I went I used my regular charger and bought a local adapter, just note their voltage is 220v.
Hope this helps.
- Answered by James S from Brookwater
I am currently in South Africa, and sadly, no it will not. The kit doesn't include the round three prong plug required for most SA outlets. Fortunately, the round two prong UK style adapter included in the kit and the US style plug can both be inserted into the plug adapters readily found in South African electronic shops and drug stores across the country. The voltage will convert automatically, it is just the plug shape that is an issue. I haven't traveled to Zim yet so I can't speak to that country.
- Answered by Philip C from Dulles
Zimbabwe uses the British plug system so you will be covered... When you get to South Africa you will need to buy one from there

De drowning a 990 ADV
hey gang..
I have drowned many an older dirt bike over the years.. painful process to get going again..
But.. what's the deal if you drown your KTM 990 Adv .. ? has anyone done it, any good articles or video's . I did a bit of searching but didn't find much.
Not that it's ever intended.. but, it happens!
I've done it. It sucked.
I was able to field strip the bike with my KTM tool kit, pull the plugs and crank the water out of the motor using the starter. Also, pull the plug in the exhaust (near the heads) to drain the pipe of water.
I also swapped my battery for my buddies (from his 950) back and forth while cranking my bike to get it running. It took alot of cranking and I didn't want to kill the battery so when it sounded weak we would put it in his bike and idle/charge it while cranking with his battery.
Total took about an hour.
Also, remember, if your air filter is saturated, it will continue to push new water into the motor so remove the filter if necessary.
wow, what fun.. I do recall it taking ages even on simple old bikes though..
did the spark plug work ok after just simple air drying..?
I'm guessing with the fuel injection it makes things a lot easier as Carby's used to be a nightmare..
hmm, a bit worried about the battery issue.. if you were alone I wonder how on earth you'd get by that issue.. perhaps carry some aerostat..? if you pull the air filter, remove the plug from the exhaust.. then there can only be water in the actual motor and inlet/exhaust valves - correct..?
On the XR you would pull the decamp lever which lifted a valve.. as water doesn't compress.. so how do you do it on the 990, if you get water in the piston, given that it doesn't compress.. me no understand! .. I'm thinking you will just get compression lock and that's it.. ahh, you have removed the plugs, yes.. so wouldn't the water be all gone in about 20 seconds worth of cranking.. then dry the plugs, then spray some aerostat.. no air filter.. should go..? Will the engine start without the exhaust bungs in..? hmm.... questions questions.. ! :-)
From another thread.
can you post a link please..?
I'm curious as well....
If you have a few buddies lift bike to vertical on it's tail to drain exhaust, ditto rest.
these's other one but I can't find them
Not my bike. Just there to help. Only took 3 people and a suitable tree to get vert.
Engine off before going under, but water flowed in the pipes. Fired right up after draining :clap
I've used this starting technique, and it works, but there is a learning curve. The running bike has to be spinning really fast (as I recall we ended up in 4th gear or so) or the non-running bike just stalls it out. Also, I heard from one member on here who used this technique, got the running bike spun up real fast, and then dropped his bike into first gear which promptly broke the first gear in the bottom end. Much worse than just a stalled bike.
Match the gears on the two bikes, and have the stalled bike in gear with the clutch in while spinning it up with the running bike.
I was thinking I could have used this technique to quickly pump the water out of my motor (with the spark plugs out) instead of draining my battery with all the cranking...
If you are on ground with enough traction you put the bike in 6th and rock it back and forth turning the engine. Also tip the bike up, like pictured above, before and after rocking.
Saves removing plugs :)

day 4 the crowed kuta
The first destination kuta we wanted to go and find a place that has good beaches and rest but we are wrong to go to kuta it is dam crowed not good for riding a bike or worse a car through these streets. It is better to walk than to use any other means to go to kuta. Hundres and may be thousands flock the street in kuta and all is a one way street is you missed a turn you will have to go with the flow.
I don,t quite know what is so interesting thing about kuta yes the beaches have white sand but its just more crowede and croweded. Like places to relax and joy. Ah yes the answer is that I don't surf. But how can you enjoy surfing when the beaches are full.
Well you got to be thankful that the beaches in bali in getting full. After 10 year of the bali bombings in legian beach tourism industry has risen again. After the bomb the tourist crumbles and many people lost there jobs.
So it needs about ten years to heal the pain. Send my condolence to the victims family and friends who have lost loved ones in bombing attachs.
We try to get out of the maze of kuta and yet again lost but founded another beach and temple. This beach is one especial for hindu rituals I think.
Starting to feeling hungry we try to find a place to eat. Our have reccomended to go to kedonangan beach to buy fish and cook it by the coast line. It is cheeper there becauase there is a large fish market.
The off we went.
Yummy my wouth is watering already.

I am constantly buying fresh herbs in those expensive plastic clam shell packs, especially in the winter. And, unfortunately, I usually end up throwing most of them away because I don't use them quickly enough. At $2.50 - $4.00 or more a pack that's a huge waste of money! Then, I was recently introduced to Daregal, a French company that has specialized in herbs since 1887. What's special about their herbs is that they are all-natural - no preservatives or salt - and frozen fresh within 3 hours of picking. Since herbs lose 75% of their flavor within 24 hours, then sit on the supermarket shelves losing even more flavor, it's great to have a fresh-from-the-garden option.
Fresh Frozen From France - say that ten times fast!
We have a selection of both Greens and Blends and have loved them all, tasting and smelling as if I just picked them from my yard. The herbs come in convenient shakers that fit perfectly two-deep in your freezer door. Thawing isn't necessary, you just toss (or shake) the already washed and stemmed chopped bits into your dishes. They are ever-so-lightly (you can't even tell) coated with vegetable oil to preserve freshness and so the leaves won't stick together. We've used them all: the basil and oregano in countless Italian dishes, the parsley sprinkled in soups, the cilantro in Vietnamese salad rolls (even frozen, as it quickly thaws!), and I mix the Blends with yogurt to make delicious herb dips and sauces (delicious on chicken or meats!).
Leave it to the French to come up with an awesome culinary idea! Since my herb garden failed miserably last year here in Seattle I'm making sure my freezer is well stocked year-round with these herbs. They certainly have saved me money, too! No more tossing out those wilted, slimy store bought ones.
I haven't found them in any stores here in Seattle, but you can order them online.
February 5, 2009
That's very interesting. I know trader joe's sends some frozen herbs as well but I haven't tried them yet. Actually, i was just telling someone that i have a ton of frozen parsley in the freezer. My boyfriends mom had a huge plant and it just kept on growing. I wish I would have dried some of it because I don't know what to do with all this parsley. I usually use parsley fresh. Any ideas?
February 5, 2009
Please tell us if you ever find it in Seattle.

Chimichurri! By far the best thing I know to do with parsley: http://www.foodista.com/recipe/6FWHXHG4/chimichurri
The Daregel herbs are different than the ones from Trader Joe's in that they are chopped and frozen separately vs. the little cubes of minced and frozen herbs at TJ's.
February 5, 2009
Super useful post. Thanks!
February 6, 2009
This is really informative since my herb plants usually die during winter and yes since I usually forget to take them inside the house.
February 6, 2009
Thanks for the tip on frozen herbs! I have that same problem with buying those expensive herbs in the clamshell packs. I live in an apartment and don' t have a garden, and I haven't been able to successfully plant herbs on my balcony or windowsill either. These frozen herbs will save me tons of money, thank you so much!
February 7, 2009
So do you just use a little then pop the rest back into the freezer before it has time to thaw?
February 8, 2009
I so often find that I need "that special herb" but don't have it, so plan to stock up on these. I hope they offer lemon thyme, one of my faves with lamb. And Carla, I expect the vegetable oil will help the unused ones stay frozen.
February 9, 2009
You can use parsley as a substitute for basil and make a "winter" pesto - it's kind of refresshing
