text: Posted 20 Feb 2012 Passat 1st Registered May 2006 2.0l TDi Started the car this morning at around 5am. I usually let the engine run for a few mins, just to get things going. I drove about 3/4 mile then got an error "Stop oil pressure. Engine off. See owners manual." with flashing red oil light. The car [b]didn't[/b] "conk out". There were no noises different to the normal everyday sounds I'm used to while running/driving. I took the car back home and it's left there at the moment, and I'm going to check the oil level when it's day light. When I turn the engine off, there is usually a "hum" noise that kind of "tails off after around 3-5 seconds. This has been like this ever since the fuel pump was replaced. However, when I turned the engine off this morning, this tailing off noise was more constant and lasted around 10 seconds longer than normal, before it "tailed off". Not sure if that is related at all, or just co-incidence. I have seen a few subjects using Google, that the oil pump has a [i]known design fault[/i] regarding the "Balance Shaft module" & regularly fails in the 2006 2.0l TDI? If VW knew, and [b]still know[/b] about this, then surely they should be responsible for any repairs? [As with the Fuel Pump silent recall and recent Injector Failure issues they knew about? Both of which I've had replaced by VW for free.] Any help appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McFarlane Toys has taken their Legends series to court -- the basketball court. Hoops fans worldwide rejoiced when we announced the lineup for the debut McFarlane's Sports Picks: NBA Legends series. Today is your first glimpse of these six legendary NBA players.
LARRY BIRD: Aside from being the 1980 NBA Rookie of the Year, earning three consecutive MVP awards, winning three NBA championships and an Olympic gold medal during 12 All-Star seasons, Larry Bird didn't accomplish very much. The definition of "Celtic Pride," Larry Legend was one of the most dominant superstars of any sport in the 1980s, winning games and leading teams to titles with deadly shooting, passionate leadership, the nerve to tell you about the shot he was going to hit and the cold-blooded talent to nail it every time.
WILT CHAMBERLAIN: The Knickerbockers made history on March 2, 1962, when New York's finest took the court in Hershey, PA, and gave up 100 points -- not to another team, but to another PLAYER. Wilt Chamberlain owns stacks of NBA records, but none as significant as the one he set that night in Hershey, dropping 100 points on the deliriously overmatched Knicks. Wilt won four MVP awards and led the Sixers and Lakers to NBA titles. Chamberlain will always be remembered for scoring points -- he led the league in scoring average for seven straight years and scored 50 or more points 118 times in his career.
JULIUS ERVING: Only six players in NCAA history have averaged 20 points and 20 rebounds per game, but Julius Erving is used to being in exclusive company. He was the shining star of the ABA, turning heads and raising roofs as a Virginia Squire and a New York Net before arriving in the NBA as a Philadelphia 76er with something to prove to a whole new league. "Dr. J" was named the league's MVP in 1981, led the Sixers to the 1983 championship and played on 11 consecutive All-Star teams.
PETE MARAVICH: Who's the best player in the history of college basketball? "Pistol" Pete Maravich owns three of the five best yearly scoring averages in NCAA history and likely would have more if he had been allowed to play with Louisiana State's varsity his freshman year. Maravich played 10 years in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks, the New Orleans/Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics. He led the league in scoring in 1977 and played on five straight NBA All-Star teams but his legend is strongest in the Southeast Conference, where "Pistol Pete" left crowds cheering, defenses failing and records falling.
WILLIS REED: When League MVP and team captain Willis Reed tore a thigh muscle in Game Five of the 1970 NBA Finals, it opened the door for a Lakers comeback. Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain led Los Angeles to a series-evening Game Six victory over the now captain-less Knicks. Game Seven in Madison Square Garden saw a hopeful New York crowd watch the hometown heroes go through warm-ups without their beloved leader. But a funny thing happened as the trophy prepared for a trip to L.A. From the dark tunnel emerged Reed, limping badly on his injured leg. The Knicks' captain hobbled to the court and settled into the starting lineup. Reed scored the first four points of the game and helped hold Chamberlain to 21 points with 27 minutes of the most courageous basketball ever seen as the Knicks ran away with the game and the championship. Reed would miss the next two years with injuries, but return to help the Knicks to another title in 1973.
BILL WALTON: UCLA won 88 straight games including back-to-back 30-0 championship seasons with Hall-of-Fame center Bill Walton providing the foundation. His star never shined brighter than on a March evening in 1973, when he hit 21 of 22 shots, scoring 44 points and grabbing 13 rebounds while leading UCLA to the national championship over Memphis State. Walton endured chronic knee and foot injuries in his NBA career, but led the Portland Trailblazers to their only championship in 1977 and was named league MVP the following year.
Enjoy the photography of these incredible NBA Legends action figures due to hit store shelves in May.

Those who like to cook, and especially those who express their feelings through food, always have "go to" recipes for when the going gets tough for somebody else.
These folks are the angels in our midst who make the time and effort to prepare a casserole, bake a cake or put together a salad and bring it to a family bound up in sickness or death.
In these times, the gift of food not only nourishes the body but consoles, comforts and eases burdens. And it has another important function: bringing people together.
Mary Miller of Summerville asked readers to share their best "go to" recipes for these situations (or just to say thanks for any reason). And then she shared her own.
Is this tradition fading? I hope not, but the initial response might indicate otherwise. I think this is a great request that deserves enthusiasm and should be extended another week. So if you have a good "go to" recipe or two, please don't delay in sending them my way.
Meanwhile, here is a dish that Mary often turns to:
Chile Relleno Squares
Heat oven to 300 degrees. Spray nonstick spray on a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread 6 cups shredded mozzarella cheese in dish. Sprinkle 1 or 2 (4-ounce) cans of green chiles on top of cheese. Pour 8 beaten eggs over top and bake for 1 hour or until knife placed in center of dish comes out clean. Cut into squares. Mary serves these with salsa and sliced tomatoes when made for breakfast, just salsa for an appetizer and with a salad for lunch.
I wasn't surprised to hear from Sharon Cook of Charleston, a faithful contributor. She writes:
"It seems that most people tend to go with casseroles, desserts, or deli platters. In order to avoid duplication, I like to make fresh green or fruit salads or chicken salad to offer something different. Recently, I have been using my own pasta salad recipe, which seems to have become a big hit because I use a vinaigrette dressing rather than a creamy one and the pasta salad can be served hot or cold."
Sharon's Pasta Salad
Serves 8-10 people
2 pounds of your favorite whole-grain pasta (Sharon suggests 1 pound bowties or wagon wheels and 1 pound tricolored rotini)
1 tablespoon sea salt
4 cups frozen mixed vegetables
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or ham; or tuna
1 pound cherry or grape tomatoes, cut into halves
1/2 cup each diced onion and bell pepper
1 cup fresh celery, diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup sliced pitted olives (Sharon uses both green and kalamata olives)
1 (16-ounce) package broccoli or coleslaw mix
1 tablespoon Montreal Steak Seasoning blend (or Seasoned Salt)
4 ounces feta cheese, cut into cubes
1 (16-ounce) bottle of a favorite vinaigrette dressing (Sharon uses Ken's Greek Dressing.)
Cook pasta al dente according to package directions, adding the sea salt to the boiling water first. (Sharon cooks the pasta only 5 minutes).
Place frozen vegetables in large lidded plastic food storage container with a lid. Add remaining ingredients except for feta cheese and dressing.
When pasta is done, drain well and add it to the rest of the ingredients while still warm. The residual heat from the pasta will defrost the frozen vegetables without cooking them. Stir mixture until well-blended. Pour vinaigrette dressing over and give it another good stir.
Add the cubed feta to the top of the salad after it goes into its delivery container. (Sharon likes to enclose an extra 8-ounce bottle of vinaigrette to allow for absorption and personal preferences.)
"I always include a short note which alerts the recipient(s) that the pasta salad can be served cold or warm," Sharon says. "I also buy disposable containers to use for this purpose so that nobody has to worry about returning the right container to the right person."
Who's got the recipe?
Remember, the hunt is still on for your best go-to recipes when there is an illness or death or to say "thank you."
A James Island reader says when she sees cauliflower on sale, she wants more options for preparing it other than just plain steaming. She would welcome recipes for making it more of a "dish."

Friday, July 5, 5pm - Sunday, July 7, 2013, noon
with Lisa Jansen and Shinchi Linda Galijan
This weekend retreat will emphasize the combination of Hatha Yoga and Zen meditations to bridge the gap between internal and external experience.
We will practice Yin and Therapeutic Yoga to feel into our body as transparency or empty space. We will also include a strong Hatha Yoga practice, learning to move through stronger postures while maintaining buoyancy and aliveness. With teachings from the Zen traditions and subtle work, the weekend will expand on how to experience the joining of our consciousness and our body.
Our stronger Hatha practice will utilize movements that teach how to move from the vertical core of the body, so our movements are ?uid and light. When our movement is ?uid and light it can shift our sense of identity from the muscular surface of the body to the more subtle dimension of consciousness pervading the body.
The combination of teachings will emphasize access to greater depths of presence within the body/mind. From this space we can embody spiritual awakening as an experience of our body as pure subjectivity.
All are welcome! Lisa and Linda teach to all levels and embrace the beginner as well as the advanced student. Join them this weekend to learn how to ?ne tune your perception and embody all aspects of self.
"Enlightenment is a re?nement of all our senses. Ultimately we can perceive our environment as empty luminous space pervading everything."
Retreat Fee: $170, $153 current SFZC members. Please note that the retreat fee does not include accommodations and meals. Accommodations at Green Gulch.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013
A Berkeley County woman charged with third degree assault and battery turned herself in earlier this month and was released on bond, according to a statement from the Goose Creek Police Department.
According to an incident report, the suspect allegedly beat a 6-year-old boy at a day care center off St. James Avenue in Goose Creek either in late September or early October.
The boy's mother first reported the incident on Oct. 1. She reported a conversation with her son in which she found out her son had been struck with his own belt in the bathroom by the suspect, according to the report.
The mother called the suspect on her personal cell phone. The suspect denied the beating but admitted to making another boy at the day care hold out his hand so she could pop it as a disciplinary measure, according to the report.
The mother told the suspect that it is not like her son's character to lie and make up such a detailed story. She also told police her son understood the difference between truth and a fairy tale when she questioned him, according to the report.
The mother contacted the Department of Social Services, who told her they could not investigate the daycare because it operates less than four hours. The mother took her child out of that daycare center and police advised her to avoid contact with the suspect.
On Feb. 13 the suspect turned herself in and was taken before a municipal judge for a bond hearing, and was released on $1,092.50 personal recognizance after processing, according to GCPD.

Many people who are successful with Internet marketing started with nothing but a few dollars in their pocket and lots of determination. Determination is what is necessary if you have any hope to succeed in today's world of internet marketing. It doesn't matter what education background you come from. Unless you have learned specifically about how web marketing works, you will have to start from scratch. This means you'll have to take your own risks, play the game carefully, and understand how the whole marketing world works on the World Wide Web. If you have some experience with offline marketing, you'll soon discover it's different online. Even though the basic marketing rules remain unchanged, the way it's approached is completely unique.
Online you can create new and exciting businesses as if magically from nothing – but you're doing it with technology. How internet marketing is viewed has caused it to become popular. Witness the internet marketing rock stars. They sell their bloated courses telling you that you can earn thousands from your kitchen table while drinking your favorite coffee. Now, that really is possible. But not as quick and easy as it may come across to be. There are many dynamics involved with it and this is why you need to take a closer look at Internet marketing to learn how to create your own strong foundation before you start. Next we will go into some common mistakes beginners make in online marketing, so you'll have some awareness about them.
First, if you have seen any money making IM courses around, you'll see they all contain hype. That's right; these sites are filled with hype that pushes their expensive products to people. This hype is created by big ticket product launches, 'buy before the price increases' strategy, fast action bonuses, etc. It's easy to get caught up in all the hype and actually believe it to be true. Some folks will buy only to get their hands on the bonuses. But it's afterwards when they see that things maybe aren't quite what they expected. If you ever are tempted to buy an IM course – just make sure it intelligently relates to what you do and your business. Racking your brains, trying to decide if it's a good idea and worth it, and taking in all the hype will really not help you much.
Many newer marketers overlook the best information because they try to take-in all the information. There's a lot of free information available, and this can be good because it's possible to learn some basics. When you have the basics of online marketing down, you'll naturally want to advance to more powerful methods. This is a great point to begin looking for a mentor. This means you should try to invest in a good mentorship program that gives you the knowledge you require for making Internet marketing a success. You should know that working with a mentor requires focus and a serious approach to your business. Focus is so important because if you don't have it, then you'll end up going from one thing to another with little to show for it all. If you lack focus, you'll only end-up wasting your time. You will be always looking and searching for perfection: the perfect answer, the perfect product, the perfect way to make money, etc. If you hope to succeed with IM, then make darn sure you have a solid plan. You'll be fighting a losing battle if your planning is not effective. So just create achievable goals. Then put them on paper. And then take massive action, one goal at a time.

Thanks, Brian, for all the Jake & Co. fun. It was really great to log in every day and see what Jake et al were up to.
I wish I could suggest something clever for MLK day, but that one has me at a loss. Something about having a dream? Jake in a little bed, dreaming of a peace sign or olive branch or something?
-See what I mean? My ideas are all so lame. You're soooooo much more creative than I ever could hope to be. Can't wait to learn what Jake's pal's name is! I vote "Maud". Or "Ethel". :grinning:

New York Times has an interesting article about the evolution of Google's relationship with Apple. If three years ago Google was an important partner for Apple, Android's launch and its growing popularity eroded the relationship.
"In the last six months, Apple and Google have jousted over acquisitions, patents, directors, advisers and iPhone applications. This month, Apple sued HTC, the Taiwanese maker of mobile phones that run Google's Android operating system, contending that HTC had violated iPhone patents. The move was widely seen as the beginning of a legal assault by Apple on Google itself, as well as an attempt to slow Google's plans to extend its dominion to mobile devices."
While Steve Jobs, Apple's visionary CEO, says that "Google wants to kill the iPhone" and "<<Don't be evil>> is a load of crap", Google's co-founders "spoke very openly about their admiration for Jobs and how he's a role model for them." It's an interesting antithesis between Apple and Google that goes beyond the openness of the mobile ecosystem: for Google, the process is more important than the results. Android's goal is to "get mobile OS development moving more rapidly" and that's not a selfish ambition.
This quote is meaningful:
"People close to the company say [that Larry Page and Sergey Brin] are disappointed that the relationship with Apple has soured. Still, they and other Google executives see the company's push to open up the industry and to succeed in mobile computing as too important to sacrifice just to placate Mr. Jobs."
Google doesn't want to "kill the iPhone", it only wants to push things forward.

Consumers should use caution before year end donations
This time of year we're, inundated with calls to help charities, so how do you get the most bang for your buck?
Certified Public Accountant Shauna Wekherlien said the first thing consumers should do is check out a group's 501(c) status.
"In order to even get the classification of a 501(c), that process can take an organization almost two years so most scam artists won't go through the process of getting a 501(c) status," she said.
Consumers can check a group's tax-exempt status at irs.gov.
Consumers can get an idea of how much of your donation will help those in need compared to salaries and other costs by checking out a group's annual report. charitynavigator.org ranks groups by popularity, financial security and effectiveness.
Wekherlien also suggested consumers visit a charity to get an idea of how they're spending donations by stopping by the office or even volunteering for a day.
More information is available at irs.gov.

Cyrus Saunders/Sanders Moore was born the sixth and last child of James Draden Moore and Mary Francis Saunders Moore, on November 29, 1829, at or near Clear Spring, Maryland.*
The earliest public record of Cyrus seems to surface on April 13, 1853, when he registered the "James A. Magruder" to navigate the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. The "Magruder" was a class C boat, that measured 91 feet, with a breadth of 14 feet, 5 inches, and had a draught of 12 inches empty, and 60 inches loaded. While the boat "hailed" from Four Locks, Cyrus' residence was listed as Washington, D.C.
Two and a half years later, on November 29, 1855, Cyrus married Catharine Ann McKinney, of Pleasant Township, Washington Co., Md. Cyrus may have actually been engaged in both work on the canal and as a private farmer (with his brother, Joseph) at the time of the marriage. On August 13, 1857, Cyrus and Catharine became parents to twin boys, James H. & Robert Blocker Moore.
In 1858, Cyrus took the job of lead lock tender at Four Locks. It's possible that the family resided at Lockhouse #49 during this time. It was also within this year that Cyrus and Catherine lost the twins, both dying on December 9, and buried in St. Peter's Lutheran Church cemetery at Clear Spring.
Having only served as lead locktender for a year, the family remained in Four Locks, but likely relocated to another residence in the village. Within that same year, the couple's next child, James Draden Moore, was born.
On July 16, 1860, Cyrus bought the canal boat "G.P. Lloyd" (named for the President of the American Co. of coal mining fame) from Henry Thomas Weld of Mt. Savage, Alleghany County, for $1,530.00. The amount was to be paid back in installments of $45 each, for twenty trips and $35 for each subsequent trip made for the boat on the canal with freights of coal from Cumberland to Georgetown and Washington City. The trips were to be "in regular trips, with such expedition and regularity as can be reasonably done, and to receive the loads of the said boat promptly at each trip with the coal of such company as the said Weld shall direct; and to freight the same at the lowest current rates which shall be paid by the Cumberland Coal and Iron Company, the Borden Mining Company, and the Alleghany Mining Company…" Furthermore, it was stated that Weld should be prepared with the coal within twenty-four hours of the boat being reported by the captain as ready to receive her load. If Weld was not ready, Cyrus had the right "of loading wherever he chooses for that trip, provided the detention is not caused by a glub of boats in which case all must take their turn."
On November 28, 1860 Cyrus and Catharine sold their land and home in Clear Spring ("Kindness Enlarged"*) for $800 to Mr. George Feidt (1798-1882).**
Likely while residing at Four Locks, the couple had two more children… John Howard (believed to have been named for Jonathan Hower of Clear Spring) was born in September 1862, and Mary Elizabeth, in March 1864.
Another child, Cyrus Clifford, was born at nearby Hancock, in 1866, though it's unclear why he was born there, instead of Four Locks.
The family relocated to Martinsburg sometime between 1866-1869, possibly as the result of a career change for Cyrus, who started with the B & O Railroad, working as a conductor. Also after moving, another set of twins were born to Cyrus and Kate, in 1869 (Ida and Josephine). Ida died just over a year later.
In conjunction with his work on the B&O, Cyrus became associated with the Conductors Brotherhood, and began regularly attending conventions of this order. On December 15, 1868, he was a representative of the B&O when he attended the convention in Columbus, Ohio. At that convention, he served as doorkeeper, was elected Grand Guide, and was appointed to a committee to prepare Constitution and By-Laws. He was re-elected Grand Guide at the Chicago convention, in June, 1869; elected Assistant Grand Chief Conductor at Buffalo (Oct. 1869); became Grand Chief Conductor by the death of A.G. Black (August 23, 1870); was elected to that office at Philadelphia (St. Lawrence Hotel, Oct. 6 – 7, 1870) while one of the two representatives of Martinsburg Division 6), and presided over the fourth session at Cleveland (11/1/1871 – 11/3/1871). He received a certificate for the Conductors' Brotherhood Life Insurance Company on June 21, 1871, which listed him as a member of Berkeley Division No. 6.
He was also listed as a conductor in the Cumberland Valley Railroad Directory from, for the years 1877 – 1878, during which time he was living at 62 N. German Street (now Maple St.) in Martinsburg. This was also the time in which the Great Railroad Strike took place, though Cyrus' situation during this strike is unknown.
Sometime during his service on the railroad, Cyrus may have also worked for the Shenandoah Valley Railroad and it is a family story that he was the engineer on the first train into the Shenandoah Iron District to pick-up iron ore. John Howard Moore, his son, was the last to take ore out of Shenandoah.
By 1880, Cyrus changed careers once again. In the census records for that year (dated June 3, 1880), he was listed as a hotel clerk, living with his family on King Street, in Martinsburg.
Six to eight years later, it appears the family moved again… this time to Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. While there, Cyrus entered into a beer bottling business with his son, Cliff. How long the business lasted is unknown.
According to a book from the Conductors Brotherhood, it was also during this time (1888), Cyrus took employment with theHannis Distilling Company in Martinsburg.
Apparently, the family moved back to Martinsburg, as they were listed in the Martinsburg newspaper, on November 14, 1896, as having returned to their E. Martin Street address, from Harrisburg, after visiting their son, J.D. Moore, whose "child is seriously ill." This is probably a reference to Lillian Moore, who died on November 19.
Cyrus died at Chambersburg at 3 p.m., June 18, 1904. His remains, the Martinsburg newspaper noted, arrived at that town on the "8:25 train" for burial at Green Hill Cemetery.
Curiously, ten years later, his remains were noted in the records of Green Hill Cemetery, as having been "removed" by the undertaker. The reason for removal, where he was removed to, or if he was re-interred is not known or given in the book or related cemetery resources.
As of 1915, Catherine was recorded as living in Martinsburg, at the 210 (or was it 229?) West Martin Street address. She passed away in June of that year in Shenandoah, Virginia, at the home of John Howard Moore, and was also buried in Green Hill Cemetery in Martinsburg. Her death date is not noted on her headstone, and the birthdate on the stone is incorrect.
*Cyrus had been named for his grandfather on his mother's side, Cyrus Saunders who was originally from Loudoun County.
**"Kindness Enlarged" was the original tract of land settled in 1736 by the Prather family through patent from the King of England. Originally known simply as "Kindness", it lay on the southwest corner of Clear Spring. Later the Jacques family visited the Prathers and entered into another tract to which they gave the name "Kindness Enlarged." After the discovery of the abundance of iron ore on the property, the Jacques family entered into yet another tract which extended almost entirely from West Virginia to Pennsylvania. "Kindness Enlarged" was conveyed to Richard and Sarah Prather, his wife, then also Mary Moore and her six children, Elizabeth M. Moore, Joseph S. Moore, Emily Moore, Virginia C. Moore, Mary H. Moore, and Cyrus S. Moore by Denton Jacques and Sarah, his wife, George Jacques, and Sarah Jacques all of Washington County, and John Ellis and Eliza, his wife, formerly Eliza Jacques of Berkeley County, Va. Also from all children and heirs at law of Sarah Jacques, wife of Arthur Jacques, late of Washington Co, aforesaid, deceased, by deed bearing date on April 23, 1846. Jacques and Cyrus' father, James Draden Moore, through James' marriage to his first, wife Ann Lowe, are related.

Rescue crews continued to search Langley Pond today for a man that may have drowned Wednesday, but halted efforts around 5 p.m. due to the weather.
In addition, the Burnettown Police Department is also looking for Byron Alexander Coleman of Graniteville, who Chief David Paul Smith said may be missing. Coleman reportedly matches the description of the man who "went under" at Langley Pond Wednesday.
Coleman has not been in contact with his family, Smith said.
Smith said he is not making a direct connection between Coleman and the man who may have drowned, only that authorities are investigating both leads.
An emergency call was received at approximately 5 p.m. Wednesday that three swimmers – two men and a woman – were in distress at Langley Pond. One of the male swimmers was pulled from the water and transported to an area hospital in critical condition. The female swimmer reportedly followed him to the hospital.
The second male swimmer still has not been located. The three had been swimming in a no-swim area of Langley Pond.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by butterly84 absolutely beautiful This necklace is amazing! So beautiful and sparkly. The only complaint I have is the way it was shipped. Two stones had already come out by the time I opened the box. This should be easily fixed with super glue. Regardless, it's still a gorgeous piece that will flatter many outfits. 1.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Espirit Beautiful! Perfect statement necklace! Can wear with lots of different clothes from dresses to sweaters. this necklace is all you need to instantly change the look of an outfit. I have received a lot of compliments. Merry Christmas! :) 12.23.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by masseraj Worth the long wait! I've been waiting for this to arrive in the mail for a month since it was on back order and it finally arrived today. All I can say is Wow! This is totally worth the wait. This is by far one of the coolest necklaces I've ever owned and I can't wait to wear it this weekend when I'll be hanging out at Madison Square Garden in box suite for a concert/party. I can't believe how it sparkles in the light. This is going to be fun with some of my rocker glam girl outfits or to wear to a holiday party. So fun! 12.7.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by charlottekeats2 Stunning Very beautiful and unique. looks even more amazing in person and definitely a statement piece. only problem I have is the way it was shipped. it really should be packed in bubble wrap or something since its so delicate. (one of the smaller stones came off of the metal setting in the one I received since mine was just in a ziplock bag and then in a box.) Otherwise I'm really pleased with this purchase! 12.6.2012

Michael points out that she lost control today. Lauren says something snapped when she mentioned Fen. Michael sighs, "And you bought into that?" Lauren says she was afraid. Michael says he loves her, but they can't keep living this way. He decides they will move out of their apartment. Michael rejoins the others upstairs and Lauren is taken to her cell. Phyllis admits to Michael she knew about the gun. He grabs her in anger that she didn't tell him and prevent all this. Phyllis protests that Lauren confided in her. Avery jumps in, saying emotions are running high right now. Michael hollers at Phyllis that she could have prevented this, and leaves.

They discuss the situation with Sofia - Ashley says she has no problem with Tucker confiding in Katherine, but leaves hastily. Jill watches her go. Katherine tells Jill, "It was something I said."
Nick and Phyllis return to the penthouse and kiss. She's glad he's been there for her; it helps.
On the coffee house patio, Michael tells Avery that Lauren admitted she snapped. He muses that they've been down this road before - he's terrified at what might happen next. Avery tries to reassure him, but Michael worries that Lauren may not be able to leave the house again.

"Cancer chemotherapy is like the barbers in the middle ages," says chemistry professor Susan Bane. "It can be very crude."
Chemotherapy kills everything. Cancer cells, healthy cells, tumor cells, hair cells. The body is literally poisoned with the hope that the most active cells — chief among them cancer cells — will die first, allowing the rest of the body to recover.
The incredible thing is, although doctors have been prescribing chemotherapy drugs for years, science is still on the fence about how exactly they work.
The chemo drug Taxol, for example, is made from a chemical derived from the needles of the yew tree. Taxol attacks a central structure within cells called microtubules.
"Anything a cell does that involves movement involves microtubules," explains Bane, who's been researching these mysterious microscopic structures at Binghamton since 1985. "Microtubules are dynamic, always getting bigger and smaller. If you disrupt that pattern, you can send them into programmed cell death."
But how exactly Taxol latches on to the proteins on the surface of the microtubules is still up for debate.
"We don't know why, we know what," says Bane, who has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding to study Taxol's interactions with microtubules. "We know the net result."
Bane's current research in this area is part of a consortium of laboratories from Binghamton, Virginia Tech and Emory University. The group focuses on trying to understand the precise interactions between Taxol and its biological target -- the microtubules. This knowledge is being used by the group to design and synthesize new drugs that will act like Taxol.
"The tree didn't make this to do what it does," Bane explains. "Although Taxol has been very successful in the clinic, there are major problems with the drug, such as its complicated structure, low solubility and its propensity to cause new tumors to be resistant to further drug treatment. A totally synthetic drug can be designed to avoid these problems."
Bane's lab at Binghamton is staffed by four or five graduate students and three or four undergraduates. The undergraduates aren't standing around cleaning beakers.
"Undergrads do pretty much anything," says Bane. "Today, one of my undergrads is doing organic chemistry, making some molecules."
Bane also teaches bioorganic chemistry, one of the most popular upper-level chemistry classes in the department.
"Everything that goes on in your body is organic chemistry," says Bane. "But most of [the students] like it because the last third of the course is all drugs." Oh, college kids.
Find out more about Professor Bane's lab and the exciting work going on in the Chemistry Department.

Budget travelers will be thrilled to see the affordable rates at Spokane hotels, most with views of the gorgeous Northwest. Three- and four-star hotels offer prices that even a budget traveler can get on board with. Of course, there are cheaper options out there for those who wish to save and still be comfortable.
If you wish to be close to nearly everything there is to do in Spokane, book a room in the downtown area. You have the advantage of being near great shopping, outdoor activities and even the riverfront. Not only do you just have hotels to choose from downtown but also vacation rentals and resorts. Walk along the river, find some nice souvenirs, and then sit down for lively entertainment in Spokane's pubs and lounges.
Those who love a unique and luxurious stay might want to reserve a room in a bed and breakfast. Historic homes in both downtown and Northwest Spokane give guests an experience that is individualized and cozy. The extra money you spend on these accommodations will be worth it to make your visit to Spokane even more special.
Stay outside the city in a lodge or guest ranch for a country getaway. Live the cowboy life on a ranch where you can ride a horse, go hiking, fishing, hunting, and more. Spend time in the great outdoors while being just a short drive from the city and all its benefits.
Not all the excitement can be found downtown – there are several resorts outside of Spokane that have a ton of action. Visitors stay in plush rooms and can indulge in spa services, great restaurants, golf courses, and casino games. Everything you could want is found under one roof and is also close enough to Spokane to see all the city's sights whenever you want.

I am very interested in UW but I've never played a full loot game. So could someone tell me how you protect all the cool gear you get other than just leaving it in a chest somewhere. Seems like I would find some cool gear and lose it almost immediately when some higher level decides to crush me. How does this whole dynamic work in DF:UW? I know, I'm a noob.

Well the good news is you dont have to protect the gear, every single weapon and armor is craftable. They do take durability damage over use and they cant be repaired, but a master crafter can make armor that is far mor durable than scavanged armor. Unless of course you killed a master craftsman and took it as your spoils of war. The armor and weapons do have tiers but it isnt as important as other games. If you were so inclined to keep your armor then group up and run around. Saftey in numbers mate. Trust me though, there is a wonderfully sick satisfaction in killing someone and taking their armor. Hell, they can always make more. Basically if you have nver tried it, you should, games like this offer that adreniline rush that few other genres can offer.

gear in DF is actaully very easy to come by. 80% of gear is quite disposable so really when you die and get looted you just farm Iron for a little bit and make yourself one other set of armor.
it's really not that big a deal losing armor.
or course there is some very nice and rare armor that is made with very rare ores, and most people will not wear that unless it's a huge fight and you have lots of friendlies ready to loot your body if you die.
also you do lose gear, but when you kill others you also gain gear. so you'll have days where you lose 5 sets of armor, and days where you gain 5 sets of armor. it's really not that big a deal. sometimes you'll just be walking arround and find a body of a dead player with full set of armor/weappons/loot....win.

The common misconception in most "full loot" games is that people have a fear of losing precious items. Almost every full loot game I've played has been the opposite where as gear was increcdibly easy to come by and replace. I'm not a pvp fanatic anymore as I was in my younger years, finger dexterity is shot hahah. I now prefer PVE games with minimal pvp. I did play DF for some time and it was very easy to craft, so I had a good stock of armor and weapons in the bank.

Imagine you have a chest piece that you found from a mob, han five secounds later you figure out the mob drops that same chest piece every three times it dies. Withing an hour of farming you now have 50 of those same pieces. Go to the bank and put them in there, if you can make it.
Basically all the gear is in such abundance that you really don;t have to worry about losing it. The only time you should be in fear of losing something is if you have something of great value, like a large ship or a house deed. Hopefully if you do have one of these items you are being escorted by some friends. Nothing better than loot a corpse only to find something like that on a player.
Honestly the FFA loot system is not as bad as people say it is. Even if you lose what you have out of your bag it is so easily replaceable. Aside from the really rare stuff, like a house deed or crazy good and enchanted armor you might only have for a certain mob deep in hiding. Really you wouldn't get mad if you lose your stuff 90% of the time. You would just go make another bag and go out and do it again.

Pretty much this.
You cant go into a full loot game like this with the preconceptions of gear you have from other games. If you took "good" gear in other games, youre typically talking stuff that took tons of time doing things like raids just to get a single piece. But in a game like Darkfall youll be constantly going back to sell and bank stuff for every hour or 2 you spend out farming mobs for quests and leveling your skills because you become over encumbered. Theres certain mobs youll focus on farming for some very useful gear, even if its just temporary while youre short on funds or cant craft better gear yourself. Once you get your crafting skills up you can usually pump out full sets of gear quite easily.
When I played in the past we had bags, dozens of them at all times, piled up in the clan bank of decent sets of gear for people to just grab one and toss it all on and get back to PvPing when we needed them because its expected youre oing to die and lose your stuff. We would have full sets of various types of armor (different ones for mages, hybrids, and melees) armor, a 1h melee, 2h melee, bow, staff, a few potions, and a small amount of regs for spells in each bag so people didnt have to go searching for stuff. On top of that people also had their own stashes full of better gear eithe rin the forms of ready bags like in the clan bank, or partial sets like if they had a preference for certain armor setup, or had high grade and / or enchanted stuff they wanted to grab for going and pvping. People also specifically held onto low durability gear for PvPing because chances are you will die at some point, so why waste a full durability one that you could take for farming mobs for a couple of hours anyway.
Just kind of need to get over the whole idea of "OMG gear is so valuable it sucks so bad to lose it". Just expect that youre going to lose it 1 way or another. If not from having it taken, it will break from durability loss anyway. Just make sure you stockpile a good supply of mob dropped gear until youre at a point where you can focus on making your own better gear and then stockpile that. Just bank regularly and youll quickly get over worrying about losing stuff. "Dont take what you cant afford to lose" is a pretty simple rule most players in DF live by.

There are no higher levels, just better geared/more skilled players.
All the gear will be relatively replacable with minimal efforts.
Typically, if you are going around alone or in small numbers you would bring appropriate gear... maybe not the top end gear... keep that in the bank.
If you are in a major war where every bit may help you might bring the high end gear. Typically, you will lose/gain gear in battles as you die your stuff is looted, as others die it gets looted... it just depends how you make out at the end of the fight... or how your allies are willing to give back gear they looted of yours or offer up some gear to replace gear lost.
I know my clan would typically all work towards crafting gear/weapons for attacks as a group. Then that would be our gear for war so if we lost it, it was not a big deal.
You will get use to full loot. The only thing I hated was disconnecting and losing my mounts or getting killed, but nothing you can do there, but hope your internet or the game does not crash.
Also as you progress you will notice early on you saved up some low end gear in your bank... then one day you will take that out and sell i because you replaced it with slightly better gear... until you got loads of great gear,

DF1 (because DFUW could be slightly different...) is much more skill based than gear based.
that is PLAYER skill based: a top pvper with medium gear will beat a bad pvper with top gear every time!:)
also if you are lucky you can find the tombs of guys killed by mobs and take all !:)

The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free.
It it important to realize that in these kinds of games, armor and weapons are simply tools to help you get a thing done. They never last and are not intended to. Unlike games like WoW, your progress is not made in terms of levels AND gear. That is why loosing gear in a WoW like game would be so harsh, because getting better gear either leveling or at end game is part of your development. You might as well also have exp loss on death if you are going to play that way.
In DF your gear has nothing to do with your progress. Gear with any kinds of bonuses are more like having temporary buffs. The important thing is to have a sword so you can stab the enemy and have extras stashed so that you can replace it.
It also helps to keep the perspective that something is not really yours to keep until you have it stashed safe in a bank somewhere. You don't want to always try to maximize your looting by completely filling up and only then heading to town. The more you get and the longer you stay out the more risk you take. Make more frequent trips back to the bank if you want to reduce your risk.
A lot of people have trouble making this kind of conceptual transition in Eve Online as well. Your ship is not you, it is just a tool to let you run missions or mine or pirate or whatever. A ship has a halflife. it will get destroyed sooner or later. make the best use of it while you still have it. Same in DF. Your gear is not who you are, your progess is measured in other ways. Your gear is just a tool to allow you to get other jobs done. Your gear has a halflife so don't get attached. Use it, make the most of it and then replace it.
All die, so die well.

Awesome. Thank you all for your insight. I have just been trying game after game with no satisfaction and not really sure what I'm missing in games any more. There are so many things about games like this that do appeal to me and the one game where I truly felt at home at was Asheron's Call years ago. Loved the skills based system and how you had to work for things and it wasn't all just handed to you. love the concepts of UW, looking forward to trying it. Hopefully it will come out sooner than later...hehe.
I will not accept the notion that I'm getting too old and outgrowing games...I just can't.

All gear eventually breaks over time anyway. The higher skills you have the better gear you loot and can craft. You always have roughly about 8 sets of replacement gear in the bank just in case you lose 1 set.

DF you will at least get that group feeling... not necessarily the same way some of the old games did for PvE... although you will do group events in PvE... you will mostly group up for PvP (to prevent it in some cases, or because you want to start pvp).

as others have said, gear is really not something you'll be worrying about in DF. The sense of progress will come each time you hear a ding (figure of speech) from a skill leveling up. That's what character development is centered on, gear is an afterthought and frankly, quite easy to stack in the bank.

Replacing gear in a FFA Full loot game is only an issue for people who do not know how to farm or min-max gear for farming. You never travel in your best stuff, you save that when you want to go hunt other people. Even if you do farm with your best stuff, its by comparison, easy to replace

You need to decide if it is for you or not. I.e. do you care about getting cool gear and keeping it? If so then full loot games are not for you either.

Wrong, there is cool gear in FFA Full Loot games. For example those titans in EVE worth more, than any wow account. The matter is how this cool stuff is used. I mean you won't fly your titan if you aren't sure it's safe. You won't run with your full dragon/R80 Q5 enchanted gear just to kill a couple of raiders in DFO. It's for tournaments and very important pvp-events. And only if you are a pro-pvper or have a few million golds in your bank.

I was amazed at how much I disagree with most of the feedback given.
My view:
It is full loot, but they can only steal what you are wearing or have on your backpack. All the stuff that you have stored inside your bank is safe.
Now, this does not mean that you might get very pissed when you die and you lose all your stuff that you are carrying. So the best response is, never wear anything that you are not willing to lose.
Although gear and weapons are easy to come by, good gear and good weapons aren't so easy. You need to have a thick skin and not get dispaired over losing your stuff. Also, killing other people/winning helps a lot :D
I usually wear stuff according to what I am doing. When I am going about my normal life, I use normal stuff that I will not be pissed off to lose. When there are sieges (city conquest), I use my best stuff, specially, when you are defending your own city from an offensive siege. When I was defending my own city, I didn't give much importance to losing good stuff because trying to keep the city was much more important and every bit of advantage (stats-wise) was worth using.
But it is this strong emotion of full-loot that makes this game so awesome. If you die in WoW, what do you really lose? ... So how do you feel when you die? Not very bad...
In Darkfall, when you go into PvP or just hear noises in the middle of the countryside, your heart rate jumps because you know you might be dragged into a battle and if you do fight, you know that you might lose the stuff you are carrying or win some1 else's. This is the best gaming feeling there is!
