What Is Chikara-Reiki-Do?
Chikara-Reiki-Do… What is it?
Well, Chikara-Reiki-Do is a unique system of Reiki self-attunement techniques...
...which allows you to attune yourself to the wonderful energy of Reiki just as Mikao Usui, the accepted father of modern day Reiki, did back in the late 1800's.
But it's so much more than this too.
Because the whole philosophy behind Chikara-Reiki-Do is one of self-empowerment and expanded awareness of everything!
So, what does Chikara-Reiki-Do actually mean?
The literal meaning of the words themselves is – 'The Way of Strength and Power through Reiki', but again...
The overriding aim of Chikara-Reiki-Do is to deliver this:
Knowledge = Power = Freedom...
...to everyone who desires it.
You see, we hear from people almost every day who have taken the first two levels of Reiki. They want to take their Master Attunement...
...but they tell us, quite sadly, that their present Reiki Master says they're not ready yet.
And this kind of behavior makes us incredibly sad and not a little angry...
Who do these Reiki Master's think they are? What right do they think they have to control any other person's life?
Reiki is a gift from the universe...
It's a gift meant for everyone, whenever you wish to receive it, not when some other person says you can have it.
So, Chikara-Reiki-Do gives you this knowledge, power and freedom right now.
The knowledge, power and freedom to attune yourself to all the levels of Reiki, whenever YOU choose to do so!
Can you safely receive all the levels of Reiki, all at once?
This is another question often asked.
The answer to which is a resounding...
Yes, of course you can, if that's what you want to do. And yes, it's extremely safe.
After all, that's exactly how Dr Usui himself did it...
It was one of his students who decided to create the three levels.
Why does Reiki training cost so much?
One answer is that another of Usui's students decided that very high fees were the only way Westerners would value the training.
Everyone else, of course, then followed this lead, and it's remained like that ever since...
But really what's happening today is that people let market forces decide.
If you're prepared to pay high fees... there'll be someone out there willing to take your money.
And that's fine...
Just be wary of falling into the trap of equating higher costs with higher value... it's very rarely the case.
Now, if you would prefer to pay a more realistic price – one that truly recognizes a fair exchange of value – there's Chikara-Reiki-Do.
The power of the initiation is no different, in fact, if anything; it's probably more effective.
The only difference is the price you pay...
For there is absolutely no compromise on the quality of the attunement process you carry out... it's genuinely incredible.
You see the Chikara-Reiki-Do system of Reiki training takes the power of attuning you to Reiki out of the hands of other Reiki Masters and puts it firmly back into yours...
Where it truly belongs!
Now, it's you who decides when you are ready to attune yourself to Reiki... no-one else...
You are in complete control.
No need to find classes... no need to leave home... no need to fit in with the schedules of others... no need to pay hundreds of dollars in fees.
You can now do it all yourself through Chikara-Reiki-Do...
The only aim of which is to provide you with the knowledge on how to self-attune yourself to the incredible energy of Reiki.
Allowing you to become aware of your own true power which, in turn, gives you the freedom to be who you truly are...
...and, if appropriate, the strength to be who you really want to be.
Chikara-Reiki-Do stands for independence and individuality...
Independent, individual Reiki Masters who are not afraid to strike out on their own and stretch both themselves and Reiki to their fullest potential...
Reiki Master's totally unafraid to think their own thoughts...
Unafraid to live their own lives...
People who have come to the understanding that it is they who are the only power in their lives - nothing and nobody else!
For Reiki is not just about healing, as already mentioned...
...it has far more to offer than that...
It is a living, breathing, ever unfolding life force energy which, ultimately, requires everyone to become independent...
Total independence of mind, body and spirit!
For always remember, Reiki does not require followers... nothing requires followers...
Followers don't lead anyone to anything... Chikara-Reiki-Do leads you back to yourself.

How Exactly Do You Write The Reiki Symbols?
Good mornin' all
I haven't felt like talking much.
I haven't felt like doing much. I think I'm starting to hibernate for winter!
I've done all the regular things, including the ironing! Yikes! But there's no new adventures calling just now.
There's been a sort of silent stillness in the air. So I'm simply going to move into that silent stillness and watch.
"Do nothing and all will be done"
I am trusting myself, The Universe and all who sail in her…
But while I'm sat quietly simply sensing things, have YOU pondered upon this?…
How exactly do you write the Reiki Symbols?
For the Reiki symbols are just that… symbols
They have no power of their own.
The only power they have, is that which YOU give them.
So the symbol becomes more imbued with a sense of power, when more people 'assign it' that sense of power.
Just as we'd all reach for the garlic if we met a vampire. We imbue the garlic with a certain protective power.
The Reiki symbols are symbolic to Reiki and their specific uses, because so many of us say so…
About Us
Here's a little biography on husband and wife team Judith and Chris Conroy... the founders of Chikara-Reiki-Do. Now, what can we tell you about ourselves? Well...
About Judith
Judith holds qualifications in nursing – gaining over twenty years experience in allopathic medicine before 'seeing the light' and leaving the UK National Health Service for Alternative medicine.
Her interest in spirituality, metaphysics and esotericism began in early childhood, resulting in the awakening of her psychic and intuitive abilities – which she has put to good use over the last twenty five years as a psychic, medium, clairvoyant, medical intuitive, healer, EFT practitioner and Reiki Master.
OK so what about Chris?
Well, he spent fifteen years in the alternative and complimentary fields of medicine gaining qualifications in Osteopathy, Physical Therapy, Applied Kinesiology, Reflexology, Massage Therapy and that of Reiki Master.
He is keenly interested in Martial Arts, Tai Chi and Oriental Philosophy, but his life long passion has been...
The study and demystification of all things esoteric, metaphysical and spiritual.
Now having retired from successfully running their own alternative and complimentary health center both Judith and Chris have turned their attention to writing...
By doing this they know they can help guide many more people towards a life of vibrant good health, wealth and happiness.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki, ah yes, Reiki. A word many have heard – but few truly understand.
To most people Reiki is all about healing. And yes it is indeed a healing art as we'll explain...
But – it is also so much more as well...
So What Exactly is Reiki?
Reiki, as we have already said, is best known in the west as a gentle but powerful system of hands on healing. And it is a system, which can easily be learned by anyone to heal themselves, others, plants and animals.
But as mentioned above it is so much more as well.
Reiki helps you...
- Discover your true purpose in life.
- Produce and achieve all your goals.
- Heal past traumas, which may be hindering your expansion.
- Discover your own spiritual path.
- Find, contentment, spiritual enlightenment and...
...the understanding that we are all one!
How does Reiki Work?
The energy of Reiki works by gently opening you up to the understanding that you are the creator of your own reality...
...that there is no greater power than you!
With this knowing comes the realization that everything that happens in your life happens because you want it to...
That there are no accidents...
You make what happens happen.
With this awareness comes the realization that every event in your life, including that of illness, is brought to you, by you...
...and it can, therefore, be taken away by you as well.
So the short answer to how Reiki works, therefore, is the energy of Reiki works by bringing your power back to...
Who can Learn Reiki?
Everyone! – How is this possible?
Because Reiki is not learned in the traditional way we understand learning.
The ability to work with Reiki can be activated within you by a Reiki Master during an initiation ceremony...
Or, more powerfully, you can carry out your own attunement process - which is the way Chikara-Reiki-Do recommends you do it...
Because then you are realizing your own inner power just as Mikao Usui himself did.
Where Does Reiki Energy Come From?
The most common translation of the word Reiki, which is Japanese and pronounced ray-key, is 'the universal and holy, spiritually conscious, life force energy that energises and animates all living things'.
Every living thing in the universe is alive because of this energy.
So when people ask, "where does Reiki energy come from?"
The answer has to be...
Reiki comes from infinite consciousness or All That Is
Is Reiki a Religion?
No, Reiki is not a religion.
You do not have to have any religious beliefs at all.
It certainly could be said that there is a spiritual element to Reiki, but spirituality and religion are not the same.
How Long Does It Take To Learn Reiki?
Reiki, generally speaking, consists of three levels of training known as Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki Master. Some schools have built their courses around more levels – but three is all that is necessary.
These levels can be 'learned' separately over a period of many months, or can be taken over one intensive period.
It really depends on the individual wishing to 'take' Reiki.
If you feel more comfortable taking your time 'learning' Reiki, then do so. If you think you are ready to 'take' all three levels in one go, then you are ready.
It's entirely up to you.
How Can I Experience Reiki?
Most people's first experience of Reiki is generally through a 'hands on healing' therapy session.
During this time they usually report various feelings of warmth or coolness with, maybe, a sense of bubbling energy movement.
Some experience beautiful colors, or the presence of spiritual beings but most people simply experience deep relaxation and peace...
Indeed it is not uncommon for many to fall soundly asleep.
How is a Reiki Treatment Given?
A Reiki treatment is usually given in a quiet and peaceful environment with the person receiving Reiki either lying or sitting down.
The person giving Reiki will then transmit the Reiki energy to the person receiving it – by placing their hands either on or over various points on the body.
A treatment can last anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour and a half, the usual being about an hour.
There is no need to remove any items of clothing except perhaps your shoes if you are lying down on a couch. So it is perfect for people who feel embarrassed or uneasy about undressing.
What Can Be Treated With Reiki?
In a word everything – for Reiki works on all levels of awareness in body, mind and spirit.
It can be compared very simply to the analogy of having a flat battery in a car...
Someone comes along with a strong, healthy battery and a set of jump leads. They connect everything up and the flat car battery suddenly has the extra energy needed to start the engine.
Reiki does this for people irrespective of what is ailing them.
It gives them the extra energy they need to bring themselves back into balance – whilst, sometimes, providing them with a deeper understanding of why they allowed themselves to fall ill in the first place.
Can I Treat Myself?
If you have been attuned to Reiki, then...
Yes, very much so.
This is one of the many benefits of Reiki. Not only does Reiki give you the energy and ability to successfully treat yourself. It also helps to raise your level of awareness to the point where you begin to understand...
That you create your own illnesses.
This is one of the most exciting levels within Reiki.
Is It Safe For Use During Pregnancy?
Absolutely, for Reiki can do no harm.
As already explained Reiki is 'the universal and holy, spiritually conscious, life force energy that energises and animates all living things'...
It aids and enhances all life.
I Have Heard That Reiki Can Be Sent To Others At A Distance. How Does This Work?
At the heart of all metaphysical and spiritual teachings lies the understanding that we are all one and, therefore, all connected.
Our scientists are now beginning to understand these phenomena through their research into quantum mechanics.
You may have already experienced this in action when you have suddenly, and for no apparent reason, thought of a distant friend or relative...
And moments later the 'phone has rung and it's the very same person on the other end of the line.
Distance healing follows this same sequence.
Through thinking of the person and intending to heal, the connection is made and the Reiki energy flows to that person.
How much does Reiki training cost?
There's a very wide variance in the costs associated with Reiki training.
But in general terms, to go from complete beginner, to the level of Reiki Master – will set you back somewhere in the region of...
$500 to $1500
Of course, these are just general terms. You can pay less and you can pay more.
Why the enormous variance in charges?
Very good question!
Really, it's because there's no standard price agreements and people will always charge whatever the market can bear.
Maybe some people think they are better at teaching than others. Maybe some people like to have more money than others – who knows?
But, if Reiki interests you – as you know it really, really should – and you want to take it further – as you know you really, really should...
Yet you don't want to pay these exorbitant fees.
What can you do...?
Well, you can come with us to the next page – where you'll be very pleased with what you find...
After all – it is – very, very special...

Jefferson County Planning Board officials got their first look at a proposed Public Square parking lot for the Woolworth restoration project in downtown Watertown on Tuesday.
The lot, which would be located in the green space between Cams Pizzeria and the Woodruff Professional Building, will have 28 spaces for the proposed 50-apartment renovation.
The slope of the green space, which is currently a 10 to 15 percent grade, will be reduced to 4 to 7 percent grade, and a retaining wall will be installed on the Public Square side of the lot along with a 4-foot-tall decorative fence, according to senior planner Andrew R. Nevin.
With the exception of three spaces, which would be located outside of an access gate, the lot would be for the use of Woolworth building residents only. Trees and landscaping would surround the lot, Mr. Nevin said.
The plans for the lot also include a handicap space behind the Paddock Arcade.
There was no easy way to incorporate the extra three spaces into the space, said Thomas H. Ross, a design engineer with GYMO Architecture, Engineering and Land Surveying.
The Planning Board sent the lot proposal back to the city of Watertown as a project of local concern.
The parking lot project was proposed by White Birch Enterprise, the Gaithersburg, MD-firm that is also involved in restoring the Woolworth building itself.
The Planning Board also approved of the citys proposal to amend its zoning law to remove a controversial ordinance governing the number of occupants in a dwelling in all residential districts throughout the city.
The board met this month at the administrative offices of the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority.
Robert G. Horr III, executive director of the authority, gave a presentation to board members about the bridge as it approaches its 75th anniversary celebration on Aug. 17 and 18.
The bridge was dedicated on Aug. 18, 1938.
Mr. Horr told board members that he hopes to be able to offer EZ Pass on the bridge next year.

The thought of herbal tea brings to mind the sensory thrill of herbs, the medicinal and health benefits these teas possess, and maybe even an internal debate about loose leaf vs. tea bags. But did you know that "herbal teas" are not officially teas? In the purest sense, only the leaves and buds of Camellia sinensis, the plant that gives us black, oolong, green, and white tea should be called tea. Technical fun facts aside, caffeine-free herbal teas offer a range of health benefits and can play a role in natural weight loss. Plus, they're just plain delicious to buy and drink!

SHELBY, N.Y. - Shelby is a quiet farm community in Orleans County.
But, in 1919, it was rocked with a murder mystery that sent shock waves across the country. A mystery that would eventually send shock waves across the legal world.
On March 12, 1915, wealthy farmer Charles Phelps and his housekeeper, Marjorie Wilcott were found shot to death. The discovery was made by one of Phelps' farmhands, Charles Stielow.
Stielow was a German immigrant, and when it was discovered that he kept a .22 caliber gun in his nightstand, he was quickly charged and convicted for the killing.
During the trial, the prosecution called an "expert" witness to testify at Stielow's trial. The witness, Dr. Albert Hamilton, stated that he bullets found in the victims had been fired by Stielow's gun.
On the basis of that testimony and other circumstantial evidence, Stielow was convicted and sentenced to death in Sing Sing's electric chair. His execution was scheduled and stayed seven times, twice when he was in the chair.
The Governor eventually ordered a re-examination of the evidence.
The bullets were looked over by a New York City Police Department weapons expert. He looked over the weapon and determined that Stielow's gun, the supposed murder weapon, had not been fired in between three and four years. He then fired the weapon into cotton batting and found that the bullets looked completely different that the ones taken from the bodies.
They looked more closely using a microscope at the State Police crime lab. Stielow's conviction was eventually overturned.
This was the first time ballistic forensics had ever been used to overturn a conviction, solve a murder mystery, and dig into one of the Unknown Stories of WNY.

MASSENA With a check for $88,240.81 waiting for the town of Massena, Town Council members accepted a plan Wednesday on how to spend that money something they had to do before actually receiving the check from the Mohawk gaming compact.
The board voted to submit a plan calling for the check to be divided among five causes, although the money wasnt allocated without discussion on the matter.
Town Supervisor Joseph D. Gray proposed giving $15,000 to the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena to help offset the $30,000 the town had promised the organization, but was unable to provide for the current fiscal year.
Mr. Gray also proposed providing $6,000 to FISHCAP, $35,000 to emergency services, $20,000 to the Downtown Revitalization Committee and the remaining $8,240.81 for airport marketing.
The funds for emergency services will be split between the rescue squad and the fire department, with the rescue squad receiving the $1,400 it requested to purchase a Stokes basket and the remainder of the money going to the fire department for radio upgrades and a new thermal imaging camera.
With the airport marketing money, Mr. Gray said, Primarily what Im look at is better signage.
He also said he would like to see the town join Cape Air for some marketing and possibly billboards that would promote both Cape Air and the Massena Airport, whether it be here or on the Canadian side.
The item that garnered the most discussion was the funding for the Downtown Revitalization Committee.
Councilman Charles A. Raiti said he was a little leery of giving money to the committee after being approached for funding to put a fountain downtown.
Im hesitant for that reason. If thats what this is for, I would rather give that money to the people who were just here, he said, referring to the BDC, which requested some gaming compact funds to help finish a railroad project at its industrial park.
Mr. Gray assured Mr. Raiti that the money would not be used for a fountain.
They havent given me specifics, but we would ask for that before we gave them money, he said.
Town Bookkeeper Nancy A. Fregoe also noted the budget presented to the board by the BDC assumed it would receive a $60,000 contribution from the village.
Mr. Gray said that in order to receive the compact money,the town first must submit a plan on how to spend it to the state.
This is just a plan, he said. Im sure if we said we were going to reallocate the money to the railroad, they wouldnt have a problem with that.

The electric guitar is an instrument that took the world by storm. Rising from nonexistence to prominence in nearly every genre in just a few decades, it's had an impact on the music scene that no one can deny. If you're looking to follow in the footsteps of legends like Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana or modern guitar heroes like Dave Grohl and Tom Morello, then choosing a solid-body electric guitar is an important rite of passage. Solid-body designs are the most common type of electric guitar, owing to their outstanding versatility. The Fender Stratocaster is a solid body electric that is considered to be on the the iconic guitars in rock and roll. To get the Made in USA quality, check out the Fender American Standard Stratocaster.Six strings is par for the course, but if you're adventurous you can also challenge yourself with extended-range 7, 8, 10 or even 12-string guitars. Under those strings are the pickups, which come in two major varieties. Single coils were the original style pickups, and they're still widely in use today. The second type of pickup is dual-coil, also known as humbuckers because they cancel out that hum. The two coils have a side-effect that results in a more powerful, heavy tone, making them the go-to pickups for distortion-rich genres like metal, grunge and alternative.
The tone is also affected by the wood of the guitar body, which has a subtle impact on the overall character of the sound. Poplar and alder are some of the most common tonewoods, since they create bright, balanced sounds that flatter precision playing. On the other end of the scale you have maple and mahogany, which yield a darker, mellower tone. Other woods, like basswood and ash, lie somewhere in the middle, providing a neutral character that makes them amazingly versatile.
Apart from the pickups and body material, one of the other factors to take into account when choosing your guitar is the neck style. It may seem simple at first glance, but there is a lot of difference from one neck to the next. For example, is the back C-shaped or V-shaped? What is the radius of the fretboard? Rosewood or ebony on top, maple or mahogany in back? All of these things distinguish one guitar neck from the next, and you owe it to yourself to do your homework here. It might take some thought in order to figure out for certain what works best for you, but it's worth the effort - a guitar that's the right "fit" will be a joy to play.
So, take your time and make your decision carefully. With your favorite guitar in your hands and plenty of practice to get to know its ins and outs, you'll be well on your way to earning your own place in music history.

Exit Elgin Baylor?
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Tue, 10/07/08, 03:33pm:
From Art Thompson III at the OC Register:
Although the Clippers have not made an official announcement, Hall of Famer, Laker legend and NBA icon Elgin Baylor no longer is performing his duties as the team's vice president of basketball operations and general manager.
"There's a dispute going on," Baylor said. "My attorney advised me not to discuss it."
A NBA executive contacted Tuesday afternoon said he had been told that Baylor no longer was performing his job. Reportedly, legal representatives of the Clippers and Baylor are engaging in dialogue.It is not known if Baylor resigned or was relieved of his duties. However, suspicion arose when the 74-year old Baylor was not at the Clippers' new practice facility when training camp opened nor was he listed in any way in the team's preseason media guide.
Thompson alludes to the fact that Mike Dunleavy has assumed the vast majority of GM duties in recent years, which means that Baylor's departure would have little effect on the franchise's overriding philosophy. Still, this would be a watershed moment in Clippers history. Baylor came aboard 22 years ago as VP of Basketball Operations, and has been a constant in the franchise's embattled history. His tenure as Clippers' GM has been an unfortunate departure from his career as one of the greatest players in the game's history. As the public face of the Clips, he was a fixture in Secaucus each spring and, fairly or not, a punch line. Few will ever know if Baylor was a helpless victim of a miserly owner, or a true incompetenet incapable of evaluating talent or executing the most basic of deals.
Stay Tuned.
UPDATE: Per the LAT, Mike Dunleavy will now formalize his role as General Manager -- a job he's held unofficially for a while now by most accounts:
The Elgin Baylor Era is over.
Which means Mike Dunleavy will be the team's general manager, the Clippers coach said Tuesday afternoon.
"Basically, the team came to me just recently and said that Elgin was retiring and they wanted me to assume those duties," Dunleavy said.Baylor had been the team's vice president of basketball operations since 1986. Neil Olshey, the team's director of player personnel, will be the assistant general manager. Team officials were not available for comment on the details of Baylor's retirement.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Fool me once, shame on you.
For the second straight spring training, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay has shown a dip in velocity and some overall sharpness that has won the 35-year-old a pair of Cy Young Awards during his career.
Last spring, Halladay posted a 5.73 ERA over six starts heading into the regular season. The right-hander and pitching coach Rich Dubee both insisted that Halladay was healthy and it was tough not to take their word for it. After all, numbers don't mean much in February and March, when most players are just trying to shake the offseason rust and get into game form.
Just two seasons removed from winning the NL Cy Young and coming off a 19-win campaign, Halladay began the 2012 regular season with three straight wins and had a 1.95 ERA after five starts in April. However, he opened May with a no- decision in Atlanta in which he lasted just 5 1/3 innings and gave up eight runs, and in six starts that month Halladay went 1-3 with a 6.11 ERA.
On May 29, Halladay was placed on the disabled list due to a right latissimus dorsi strain and it was later admitted that the ace had been dealing with health issues since camp. The righty ended up making just 25 starts, his fewest since a 19-game campaign with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2005, and his 4.49 ERA was one of the worst of his career.
Fast forward to 2013 and Halladay has again shown reason for concern. On Tuesday versus the Detroit Tigers, he lasted just 2 2/3 innings and was charged with seven runs on six hits and four walks. He also hit a batter, served up two homers and struck out just two after having allowed just two earned runs and six hits total in his previous three starts of the spring.
Again, a rough outing in March usually doesn't sound the alarm, but Halladay reportedly once again had a drop in velocity, with a story on Phillies.com citing a scout as saying his fastball sat around 86-88 mph.
Halladay, as expected, was bombarded with questions about his outing and he mirrored last season by insisting he was healthy. Instead, he said he felt lethargic before the start and that the workload of the spring was simply catching up. He noted he threw two bullpen sessions in between starts and felt that caught up with him.
"The results aren't satisfying, that's obvious," he said after Tuesday's outing. "But I think the work we've done, there's been a lot of progress made. Unfortunately, it got to the point where we've done so much throwing that I really kind of just felt lethargic.
"The good part is there's no soreness, nothing hurts. ... Like last spring training, you come in and there's times when you're hurting and things are sore. I'll trade being lethargic any day of the week over coming in and hurting. It's a big difference."
Despite his career-long success, 2013 could be the crossroad of Halladay's career. He has an option for next season and another step back this year for the Phillies, who went from a club-record 102 wins to just 81 in 2012, could lead to Philadelphia parting ways with Halladay to begin anew.
But with a rotation that includes Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee in addition to Halladay, as well as an offense led by the hopefully healthy Ryan Howard and Chase Utley, the Phillies can still make some noise this season. They will need all hands on deck and that includes a vintage Halladay.
But at 35, that may not be possible and the Phillies already appear to be looking toward the future. Halladay's string of 10 straight Opening Day starts, including the last three with Philadelphia, is slated to end when Hamels, and not Halladay, makes the start in the opener on April 1 in Atlanta.
It will be Hamels who takes the first step for the Phils in their quest to return to the playoffs after missing out on the postseason for the first time in six years last year. But that journey also will depend on Halladay's health and the franchise can't afford for Halladay to try to gut things out again early on if he is in fact hurt.
"I'm happy with where we are strength-wise, where I am physically," he noted on Tuesday.
Excuse Phillies fans if they don't accept that at 100 percent.

-let your car warm up anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes before you begin your trip as your engine will require more gas to work if its cold rather then being hot.
-stay on top on things under your car's hood. Get your car's air filter changed periodically along with the fuel filter. This can prevent particles from building up in your engine.
-check your tires frequently by making sure they're properly inflated and aligned.
"When a regular oil change comes up...ask to have your tire pressure checked," said John Gladu, who is a service technician at Bennett's Auto Center, "maybe consider an alignment once a year, ask for ail filtration to be checked...some cars have fuel filters others do not, but having those things serviced on a daily basis..ensures that you are getting the most of your fuel."
A final tip to improve your car's gas mileage is pretty simple: drive the posted speed limit especially while you are on the interstate. Mechanics say you should also use cruise control if your car has it.

So everyone assumed the two sides re-upped just to plant the flag one last year on this console generation and move on, and given the lack of marketing communication I have seen about MLB 2K13, that would seem to be a correct appraisal. All of one (1) screenshot for the upcoming game exists, and from the description of the feature set it sounds like you'll be getting an updated roster, the Houston Astros in a new division, and little else. I'll also be very interested to see what soundtrack the game has, if it has any.
What 2K Sports says, or doesn't say, about this game in the runup to its March 5 release will speak to what we may expect from it. And here is, so far, the only hype video for the game. 2K did get the reigning American League Cy Young winner, David Price, but I doubt he cost very much. The game went to the Tampa Bay Rays for a cover star in 2010, coming off the stinging disappointment of MLB 2K9.
The other two players in this video are Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins and C.J. Wilson of the Los Angeles Angels. But it's strange that the video is hosted by Fox Sports' YouTube account and not 2K's.

THERESA Five people were taken to the hospital for evaluation Friday morning after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of routes 37 and 26.
Jefferson County sheriffs deputies said the accident took place about 9:50 a.m. when Mark T. Lilley, 49, Cape Vincent, drove his Subaru through a stop sign and hit a Jeep driven by Gail D. Gray, 63, Redwood.
Deputy Travis F. Alcombrack said Mr. Lilley was traveling west on Route 26 when his vehicle went through the stop sign and crashed into Ms. Grays Jeep, which was southbound on Route 37.
Route 26 and Route 37 run together for about 2� miles north of the intersection.
Deputy Alcombrack said that he did not have any information about the lone passenger in the vehicle with Mr. Lilley and that he could describe the two passengers with Ms. Gray only as her grandchildren. He said he did not have any of the passengers names, ages or addresses.
Both of the drivers and all of the passengers were taken to Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, for evaluation.
None of the people in the crash suffered any serious injuries, Deputy Alcombrack said. However, both vehicles involved sustained significant damage.
Mr. Lilley was ticketed with failure to stop at a stop sign.
Other agencies that responded to the accident scene were the Theresa and LaFargeville fire departments, Indian River Ambulance and the Thousand Islands Emergency Rescue Service.

Rosalind Russell once said that, Â"Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly.Â" In pursuit of this daring and bold spirit, we naturally turned to an actor for this monthÂ's A GuyÂ's Opinion. Christian, 35, may be familiar to you for his recent fantastic stint on ShowtimeÂ's Dexter, on which he played a deathmonger of sorts. Today the only killing heÂ's doing is with comedy, as his sharp, silly, and sometimes circuitous musings bare his innermost thoughts on celeb style to you, dear readers.
Disclaimer: IÂ'm a guy. IÂ'm a heterosexual guy (which, IÂ've been told, puts me at an immediate disadvantage when it comes to offering a valid opinion or a decision about pretty much anything anywhere anytime). IÂ'm a heterosexual guy who doesnÂ't know fashion. For example, I couldnÂ't tell you what a Manolo is. I think itÂ's some type of shoe that allows one womanÂ's foot to step on other womenÂ's foot, but IÂ'm not sure. Sounds more like a Pilipino boy band from the eighties. Or better yet, a new size at Starbucks: tall, grande, venti, manolo. Could be, but I digress. The point is I donÂ't know about labels or trends. I donÂ't care if its Â"last seasonÂ" Â"this seasonÂ" or Â"never in seasonÂ"Â--for me there is only good, bad and the ugly. So I am writing as an example of one man in the stagnant pond of millions of other men who have an opinion of something we know very little about. Sort of like our president, but I digress again. Anyway, thatÂ's my disclaimer. Let the opinions begin...
Paris Hilton
Overall, itÂ's nice to see Paris attempt to look like a lady, even if that Â"ladyÂ" is fishing for a husband in St. Tropez. The dressÂ--with its conservative Hampton-ish pattern and its Â"gaping-bosom-hole" Â--works hard to draw desired attention. The anchor on its chain seals the deal (the proverbial nail in the proverbial coffin). Kudos Paris, weÂ're looking. Overall, the dress works because itÂ's a conservative style that got twisted (by taking hemline way above the knee and showing acres of cleavage). Now, let us focus on the bottom half of the outfit. This half unfortunately ensnares the entire ensemble and turns Paris into a cast member of Â"The Real Housewives of Orange County.Â" I think itÂ's the shoes. TheyÂ're nice, but she looks too done, too put together...too desperate. All in all, itÂ's an okay outfit, more suitable, however, for yachting than traffic jams at Fred Segal.
Kate Moss
Are those really Kate MossÂ's legs? SheÂ's tiny, a veritable Pacino in stature, at least, in my opinion, thatÂ's what those punky low risers do to her. I like the city street get-up, but those jeans...I canÂ't get beyond them, because they make her legs look so short. Anyway, enough with the jeans. Next, I see red. RedÂ's good. I like the scarf over the tight biker jacket. Tight biker jackets are good (at least on the lucky thin, like Kate Moss). The belt on the outside is cool. Practical? No. I like the spunky, kinda Â"wear whatever you find on the floorÂ" look. Her pout is an accessory too. You always see a pout with someone wearing oversized glasses like these. And finally, thereÂ's the nugget. The nugget on her middle finger says Â"I might dress like IÂ've been around the block, and in fact I have...a few times, you see I own this block.Â"
Sienna Miller.
Oh. I donÂ't know how to really give an opinion here. IÂ'm sure Sienna is really nice and kind, so I want to be nice and kind too. However, in my opinion, I just donÂ't think sheÂ's having a good day. I want to be respectful, so IÂ'm going to assume that she absentmindedly left a costume fitting, while still wearing said costume. The costume is for her new role in the serio-comedy loosely based on Angelina JolieÂ's life. Sienna plays the nanny (Kitty) who ends up having an affair with the Brad Pitt character and gives birth to twins, whom Angelina adopts and the three live happily ever after with 37 children. The movieÂ's called Â"Here Kitty, Kitty, Kitty.Â" This costume is for the scenes later on in the movie when Sienna begins loosing her mind. She starts Â"meowingÂ" and wearing childrenÂ's clothes on top of her maternity wear. The bag is full of baby formula, thatÂ's why it looks so heavy. [EditorÂ's Note: We have no idea what heÂ's talking about either.]
Keira Knightly
I love it when women wear tights pared with bootsÂ--itÂ's one of my favorite combos. Add short shorts and youÂ've got a winning foundation able to stave off any criticism one might issue over KeiraÂ's hat selection. A fedora would not be my first choice, but it serves adequately as a disguise. After intense scrutiny, IÂ've determined that KeiraÂ's legs work well with this outfit. While her boots seem a little clunky, they clunk with cute. This look is an example, in my opinion, of how flaunting a single attribute can make an outfit. Keira chooses to show off her legs, keeping her torso underexposed in that peacoat-inspired whatchamacallit. SheÂ's revealing without being trashy or too cute aka Â"cutesy.Â" I wouldnÂ't mind if the top fit her better, but she doesnÂ't highlight it, so it doesnÂ't really matter. Now all she needs is a six gun and bullet belt.
