I'm a new Passat owner('02 1.8t)...was wondering what everyone was using lately for gas. Premium like the manual recommends, or regular unleaded, has anyone noticed, does it make a difference?
I'm a new Passat owner('02 1.8t)...was wondering what everyone was using lately for gas. Premium like the manual recommends, or regular unleaded, has anyone noticed, does it make a difference?
I have been running regular in my 00 V6 and recently switched to premium and noticed a significant difference. I was getting about 29.8 MPG on highway and got 30.8 MPG on todays trip. It also seems to have better response. I say go premium if you can afford it but with gas prices going up I am not sure what I will do in the future.
B20 40+mpg on the highway...
I have tried 87 octane (regular), 89 (mid) and 91 octane in the city, highway and combined highway and city.
I have found that fuel economy increased with each step up in grade of fuel used. In terms of a difference in cost per kilometer the difference is negligable. I have settled on mid grade as it falls within the +-2 of 91 octane reccomended on the fuel cap. There is definately a bigger difference in bum dyno from low to highest octane as well.
Car is unchipped, but modded with intake, exhaust, EFK, underdrive pulley and LWFW.
Hope this helps,
you can use 87 octane if you're not chipped, the car can adjust itself to some extent to avoid getting any knock. if you're chipped, you really should use at least 91.
( this is all hearsay, i am no expert, but this seems to be the consensus here)
One thing to remember, as the price of gas increases the percentage difference between regular and high test DECREASES. Typically, Premium is 20 cents higher than Regular. At $1.00/gallon that's about 20% difference; at $2.00/gallon that's about 10% difference; at $2.50/gallon it's getting pretty small. And if the mileage difference is significant, there may be NO difference.
I paid 2.89/gal for premium on Saturday and 87 octane was $2.74/gal, for an extra 15 cents a gallon difference, or 5.5% more. I always use premium.
Quit your smoking habit and use that money for premium gas and synthetic oil.
Just go with the premium, it's not that big of a difference, besides, that's what the manufacturer suggests anyway. At least they can't accuse you of not following instructions when something breaks.
it really depends, i don't know too much about the v6, but i know for a fact that w/ a chipped 1.8t, most CHIP manufacturers recommend the higher octane (91+) fuels. don't ask me why, i'm not a doctor...i've just always been under the impression that it burns cleaner, so, for a turbo'd engine, i'd imagine it's better...
Okay guys in case you have not noticed, the V6 runs a quite high 10.6 to 1 compression ratio.. This is definitely in the land where gas engines running that much compression will utilize the benefits of premium gas. Most Turbo engines typically suggest premium as well. Plus the fact that VW recommends premium in both the engines is also a clue. The ECU is tuned to fully utilize premium and as others have said using premium they notice more power and better gas mileage. At the price we are paying for gas now you are looking at an extra $2-3 each fill-up, which is less than 10% over the price of regular. Many will tell you they experience about a 10% increase in mileage, so instead of saving money you are either breaking even or possibly spending a little more in the long run. I run premium in my V6 as recommended, I also run premium as recommended in my Saab 93 SS turbo, if either manufacturer recommended regular or midgrade I would happily use those instead.
you think 10.6:1 for NA is high? the new 2.0t's have 10.3:1
buy back to the OP, go with premium. basically, whatever you saved per gallon you'd lose in fuel economy.
Wow, running the A/C must really kill fuel economy, I am lucky if I get 24!
BTW, I either go with premium, or Sunoco 91 Octane. Life is too short to deal with low-grade gas in a high-grade car
Yes, I do think it's in the high range, like I said it's well into the range where premium makes a difference. And yes, the new 2.0t's are running a very high compression for a turbo engine, this is the called progression. Back when the 2.8L was introduced 10.6 seemed higher compression than it does today, things change, and engines keep pushing more and more power while getting better gas mileage. Regardless, both enines still utilize the benefits of premium and that's the point i'm trying to make.Originally Posted by D.Passat00
Go with premium you will notice the diference.
I would say you should never use the lower grade stuff. The whole reason you buy higher octane fuel is because is burns cleaner and it has a higher anti-knock rating which is good for any engine.
I found this 76 station that sells 100 octane racing fuel and lately i've been putting a few gallons in between fillups. I have only put 91 in my V6 4mo since the day i got it, but when i run it to empty and put in a few gallons of that jet fuel the engine revs a lot more freely.
Also i have noticed when i fill up another full tank of 91 after using the 100 octane i get a good 20 to 30 extra miles on a tank.
The only thing is that the 100 octane shit is $4.30 a gallon. :Yikes:
I got in on that Wett chip group buy and i was wondering if anyone with a chipped V6 has tried running 100 octane. If you have was a there a noticable difference?
I have tried only once to use 87 octane and man did the car ran like total crap. It took about two tanks of 93 octane to make it run good again. I always use 93 octane and never had a problem.
^^lieOriginally Posted by Malcolm S. Freeman
Check your local regulations before saying that. In Illinois, gasoline at the pump can be almost 1 entire point off from whatever the sticker says. So, if the pump says 89 octane, it could be 88 and still be legal. That's a 1.12% decrease in the rating - which pulls you that much farther away from what the manufacturer recommends.
Personally, the only time I fill up with midgrade is when I'm in Rockford, IL. There, mid is either 90 or 91 octane, premium is 93 (most places). And it's still less than I pay north of Chicago (where I live).
What the heck is up with Colorado? My parents can buy 85 octane as their regular petrol. (I'm sure it has to do with air pressure and oxygen ...)
the Colorado thing is due to the thinner air. 85 essentially behaves there like 87 behaves at a normal altitude.
It will forever baffle me as to why people would think that a car manufacturer would require (or recommend) premium fuel if there was no purpose in it. Lets face it, car companies spend millions of dollars on R+D on their cars. Why would any sane person assume that they suddenly know better than a huge body of research conducted in million dollar laboratories.
If it says premium, run premium. Sheesh.
I run only premium. I put regular in it a few times and it ran like crap and my car was not chipped back then. That gave me a clue that only premium will do.
Lobbying from the oil companies, Money from the oil companies for "research". "Hey if you put Premium Only on the car we'll give you $$$.....Originally Posted by graymulligan
I always ran the cheapest gas I could find in my 95 Passat GLX VR6 for ten years and 110K miles (it was spec'd for premium, I think). Always seemed to run fine, and no real problems. But, it failed the last smog check due to high HC. The fix was a complete clean of the intake system and injectors using Snap-On's "FuelKare" system. Dropped all the emissions significantly and it passed smog with ease.
I don't know if this problem could have been avoided by my using premium or a name-brand fuel, but whatever problems my budget fuel strategy caused took a long time and a lot of miles to show up. YMMV.
The new 2.0 turbo runs higher compression because of the Direct Injection. It injects fuel into the cylinder LATER in the compression cycle, therefore lowering the risk of detonation. Taking advantage of this fact, a 10.3:1 compression ratio is used which is unheard of in a pump gas turbo engine.

At the CHKD Center for Hemangiomas and Vascular Birthmarks, pediatric specialists in several different disciplines come together to provide the most appropriate care for children. CHKD's center is the most experienced of its kind in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Experts estimate that as many as 60 percent of birthmarks are misdiagnosed and may therefore be treated inadequately or inappropriately. At CHKD, our birthmark team collaborates to diagnose and treat vascular birthmarks, creating a multidisciplinary approach to these complex disorders.
The center's core staff consists of specialists in pediatric plastic surgery, head and neck surgery, dermatology and radiology, who attend the clinic regularly. Consultants in pediatric orthopedic surgery, general surgery, neurosurgery, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, dentistry, genetics and psychology are also involved as needed.
The center for hemangiomas and vascular birthmarks meets three times each month, on the second and third Fridays at the CHKD main campus, and on the first Tuesday at the CHKD facility in Newport News. Patients can be referred by their pediatrician for both evaluation and treatment to the hemangioma and vascular birthmark program at CHKD in Norfolk and at the CHKD Health and Surgery Center at Oyster Point in Newport News.

This tinted moisturizer is not only absurdly priced, but also contains irritating fragrance and lacks the ingredients needed to shield your skin from the sun's entire range of damaging UVA rays, which is essential for anti-aging benefits (see More Info for details on both of these issues).
Although there are some potentially beneficial antioxidants and plant extracts in this product, they don't make up for this product's serious shortcomings. This is not worth $1, let alone $100!
More Info:
Irritation from Fragrance
Daily use of products that contain a high amount of fragrance, whether the fragrant ingredients are synthetic or natural, causes chronic irritation that can damage healthy collagen production, lead to or worsen dryness, and impair your skin's ability to heal. Fragrance-free is the best way to go for all skin types. If fragrance in your skin-care products is important to you, it should be a very low amount to minimize the risk to your skin (Sources: Inflammation Research, December 2008, pages 558–563; Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, June 2008, pages 124–135, and November-December 2000, pages 358–371; Journal of Investigative Dermatology, April 2008, pages 15–19; Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, March 2008, pages 78–82; Mechanisms of Ageing and Development, January 2007, pages 92–105; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 2005, pages S13–S22).
The Need for Adequate UVA Protection:
This product does not include the ingredients needed to shield your skin from the sun's entire range of damaging UVA rays, which is essential for anti-aging benefits. The sun's UVB rays are what cause sunburn, and the SPF number reflects that protection, but there is no rating for the sun's silent, though more penetrating and in many ways more damaging, UVA rays. Any SPF-rated product should contain one or more of the following UVA-protecting ingredients listed as "active" to ensure you are getting UVA protection: avobenzone, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, Mexoryl SX (ecamsule) or Tinosorb (Sources: Photochemical and Photobiological Sciences, December 2011, pages 81–90; Cosmetic Dermatology, Second Edition, Baumann, Leslie MD, McGraw Hill, 2009, pages 246–252; American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, Supplement, 2009, pages 19–24; The Encyclopedia of Ultraviolet Filters, Shaath, Nadim A., Allured Publishing, 2007; and Photodermatology, Photoimmunology, and Photomedicine, October 2003, pages 242–253).
Active: Octinoxate (7.5%), Oxybenzone (3.5%). Other: Water, Titanium Dioxide, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Behenyl Alcohol, Glycoproteins, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail) Extract, Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Carnosine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Phytosterols, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract, C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salicornia Herbacea Extract, Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Ilomastat, Dextran, Ursolic Acid, PEG-40 Castor Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, PEG-20 Soy Sterol, Potassium Thiocyanate, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Magnesium Sulfate, Allantoin, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Glucose Oxidase, Isohexadecane, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Cetyl Alcohol, Octyldodecanol, Lactoperoxidase, Glucose, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Potassium Iodide, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Alphaisomethyl Ionone, Linalool.

La Prairie At-A-Glance
Strengths: Most of the makeup categories present at least one good, though needlessly expensive, option.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; overreliance on jar packaging; many products contain a potentially irritating amount of astringent horsetail extract; no effective skin-lightening options; poor options for anyone dealing with blemishes (though La Prairie is concerned primarily with selling wrinkle creams anyway).
La Prairie has been at the forefront in the introduction of expensive anti-aging products for more than three decades. Many of the products in this originally Swiss skin-care line are called "cellular treatment." After a while, it all starts sounding silly. The attempt to align these products with the concept of being able to affect skin at the cellular level is over the top, although when it comes to making the ordinary sound extraordinary, La Prairie excels.
Assuming your skin could improve with these products, the prices alone might cause premature aging! So what do the women who can safely afford these products get for their money? The prestige of knowing they can afford them, period. High-priced skin-care lines attract women who think that the dollars they spend will buy them something special that most other women can't afford. To some extent, they're right: most women can't afford these products. Yet anyone who reads and understands the ingredient lists would find that price doesn't reliably translate into having better skin. What you're really getting from this line is a barrage of look-younger-now claims not backed up by one shred of substantiated scientific evidence, and a group of unimpressive formulations.
A particularly egregious error appears in the number of La Prairie moisturizers (and my goodness, does this company love moisturizers!) that arrive in jar packaging. La Prairie is in-the-know about the importance of antioxidants and cell-communicating ingredients for skin, yet almost all of their products that contain such ingredients ignore their vulnerability to oxidation. Containers like these ensure that these products will deteriorate shortly after you begin using them. Considering the premium prices, that is an almost unforgivable offense. At least the company gets their facial sunscreen right by including sufficient UVA-protecting ingredients. However, it's interesting to find that a visit to the La Prairie counter involves a lot more discussion about their moisturizers, ampoules, and other "treatment" products, while all the time you know that the only reliable antiwrinkle product everyone needs to use is sunscreen.

La Prairie Makeup
The brief makeup section in La Prairie's catalog poses the question "Consider the number of hours a day you wear makeup. Shouldn't the foundation you wear be an extension of your treatment program?" Well, calling most of La Prairie's skin-care products a "treatment" is a bit of a joke as what they seem to mean by "treatment benefit" has to do with the company's Cellular Complex, but that isn't complex in the least. This complex is primarily glycoproteins. Although it's true that glycoproteins are an integral part of the skin's intercellular matrix, they are far from the only element skin needs to look and feel its best. Functioning primarily as water-binding agents, glycoproteins won't firm, lift, or rejuvenate skin cells in the manner La Prairie would like you to believe. Further, of the makeup products below, only the ultra-pricey foundations contain a significant amount of this complex, and they have drawbacks of their own.Overall, La Prairie's makeup leaves much to be desired, especially given the high to ludicrous prices for what amount to ordinary cosmetics. A few of the products have supple, silky textures, but the expense is hard to justify when similar items are available for substantially less from so many other lines. Many of the products below earned happy face ratings, but keep in mind that you do not have to acquiesce to La Prairie's prices to beautify your face.
The Beautypedia and Paula's Choice Research teams have one mission: To help you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or another brand. By combining efforts, we're able to share scientific research and remain committed to the highest standards based on our decades of experience objectively reviewing thousands upon thousands of skincare and makeup formularies in all price ranges.

Custom Seat Brackets
Custom steel car seat brackets made in the USA. They are designed for easy installation and are vehicle-specific to avoid time-consuming modifications. These seat brackets make it easy to be more comfortable, save money, and have the satisfaction of doing the job yourself. They are compatible with "CIPHER" racing seats.
When you say bracket or mounting bracket, it probably means a rigid metal frame that can be attached to a vehicle floor. It provides the foundation for the seat and secures it to the vehicle. This means, that its essentially just a fixed framing onto which the seat can be fastened. They are usually assembled with a slider because a car seat bracket alone will not enable you to move forward and backward. The most common brackets are metal frames (steel or aluminum), rectangular in shape, with holes strategically placed to match a vehicles interior mounting scheme.
Seat brackets are necessary to give your seat flexibility and security. It can also enhance the performance of the driver and acts as a support system for the racing seat. A good quality bracket will ensure a comfortable position for the driver and passenger.
With a new racing seat, you will also have to buy accompanying brackets and sliders. Using stock brackets will work, but only with much customization and sore thumbs or limbs involved. Some will advertise universal brackets meaning they will fit in 99% of all cars, but to save time and money, its best to get one from the same manufacturer. Always remember that brackets are car-specific while the sliders are seat-specific.
Let us assume that you are installing your car seat without professional help. One thing you should check first is if you have the right type of seat bracket. Aside from checking that its compatible with your car and seat model, check whether you have a passenger or driver side bracket (of course, it depends where you want to install your car seat). The center bracket can be shared by both seats, while others are unique to each side. The passengers side bracket has a chamfered corner; this will tell you what kind of bracket you have.
Before disassembling anything, always make sure that you have everything you need and everything you might not need. In this case, keep a close eye on the seat/s, sliders, brackets, adapters (if any), and all other tools. If for some reason, you think you do not have the right tools or you do not have a tool box at all, it probably means you have little or no experience in mechanics. In this case, better walk away slowly and save yourself from the headache and sore body parts and just call in a friend or better yet, a professional.
Assuming that you assembled and installed everything yourself, congratulations! The only thing left now is to double check all bolts and make sure that they are all fastened securely. A loose fitting could result in serious injury and even death. If you installed the sliders yourself, check if they slide freely, if not, check your assembly and reinstall it.
Getting a racing car seat is a very worthwhile investment and will greatly improve your driving performance, comfort and safety. When installed correctly, they can make a difference in life or death situations. So its always money well spent on quality fittings and time well spent to double check assembly and harnesses.
Our seat brackets are custom made in the United States and require up to 2 weeks for fabrication and shipping.

Castles in the Air HTML version
In presenting this engaging rogue to my readers, I feel that I owe them, if not an
apology, at least an explanation for this attempt at enlisting sympathy in favour of
a man who has little to recommend him save his own unconscious humour. In
very truth my good friend Ratichon is an unblushing liar, thief, a forger--anything
you will; his vanity is past belief, his scruples are non-existent. How he escaped a
convict settlement it is difficult to imagine, and hard to realize that he died--
presumably some years after the event recorded in the last chapter of his
autobiography--a respected member of the community, honoured by that same
society which should have raised a punitive hand against him. Yet this I believe
to be the case. At any rate, in spite of close research in the police records of the
period, I can find no mention of Hector Ratichon. "Heureux le peuple qui n'a pas
d'histoire" applies, therefore, to him, and we must take it that Fate and his own
sorely troubled country dealt lightly with him.
Which brings me back to my attempt at an explanation. If Fate dealt kindly, why
not we? Since time immemorial there have been worse scoundrels unhung than
Hector Ratichon, and he has the saving grace-- which few possess--of unruffled
geniality. Buffeted by Fate, sometimes starving, always thirsty, he never
complains; and there is all through his autobiography what we might call an "Ah,
well!" attitude about his outlook on life. Because of this, and because his very
fatuity makes us smile, I feel that he deserves forgiveness and even a certain
amount of recognition.
The fragmentary notes, which I have only very slightly modified, came into my
hands by a happy chance one dull post-war November morning in Paris, when
rain, sleet and the north wind drove me for shelter under the arcades of the
Odéon, and a kindly vendor of miscellaneous printed matter and mouldy MSS.
allowed me to rummage amongst a load of old papers which he was about to
consign to the rubbish heap. I imagine that the notes were set down by the actual
person to whom the genial Hector Ratichon recounted the most conspicuous
events of his chequered career, and as I turned over the torn and musty pages,
which hung together by scraps of mouldy thread, I could not help feeling the
humour--aye! and the pathos--of that drabby side of old Paris which was being
revealed to me through the medium of this rogue's adventures. And even as,
holding the fragments in my hand, I walked home that morning through the rain
something of that same quaint personality seemed once more to haunt the dank
and dreary streets of the once dazzling Ville Lumière. I seemed to see the
shabby bottle-green coat, the nankeen pantaloons, the down-at-heel shoes of
this "confidant of Kings"; I could hear his unctuous, self-satisfied laugh, and
sensed his furtive footstep whene'er a gendarme came into view. I saw his ruddy,
shiny face beaming at me through the sleet and the rain as, like a veritable squire
of dames, he minced his steps upon the boulevard, or, like a reckless smuggler,
affronted the grave dangers of mountain fastnesses upon the Juras; and I was

Women's Media Center Statement on the Arizona Shootings
January 10, 2011
The Women's Media Center (WMC) is stunned and saddened by the attack on Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, and her staff and supporters. As media cover this tragic story, they have a special responsibility NOT to legitimize violent rhetoric that targets and attempts to silence women leaders and progressive voices. The Womens' Media Center will continue to monitor the coverage of this story, and encourages media to make the link between hate speech and violence, and to condemn violent rhetoric.
Vitriolic, sexist, and racist language is a form of hate speech and bullying. Examining recent political intimidation can shed a light on the toxic political & media landscape in which the Giffords shooting took place. Here are some highlights from the past two elections that paint a broader context and help us analyze this tragedy. See recent examples here.
To speak with WMC Board Member, author, and activist Gloria Feldt about the lessons learned from this horrible episode, contact the press contact above. Read her moving piece here, in which she explains this incident is less about decrying our declining civility and more about teaching everyone from their earliest years how a democratic government works, because we are our government.
Our hearts go out to the victims of this violence, and hope that through critical examination of the cultural factors that produce such tragedies, that we prevent them in the future, because violence against one woman is violence against all.
Women's Media Center was founded in 2005 by Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem to positively impact the visibility of women in the media, amplify women's voices on key issues in the national dialogue, fight sexism and bias against women in the media, and increase professional opportunities for women across all forms of media. Through training, advocacy, and the development of original content, WMC is changing the conversation in the media so that media more accurately represents the perspectives, positions, and priorities of women.

Classic versus Modern - Second generation Volkswagen Scirocco versus the new model
Here is a video from MotorTrend comparing the second generation Volkswagen Scirocco versus he new third generation model. MotorTRend starts the video out by saying it is not often we do not get cars from Europe here anymore these days and that is very erroneous statement considering it happens all the time. Regardless, we obviously do not get the new Scirocco here in the United States partially due to the car cannibalizing Golf sales.
What is interesting is the 1987 Scirocco 16V 2.0 liter actually has more power than the modern car they are comparing it to with 175 horses. This is not the original motor. MotorTrend chose the 1.4 TSI twin-charged 2012 model sporting 160 horses. The 1987 model also weighs 614 pounds less at 2356 pounds. The new car is actually a lightweight in today's automotive climate at 2970 pounds.
One car is older but lighter and more powerful. The other is more modern with a motor supercharged and turbocharged for a fat torque curve. As anyone would hope they do drag race the cars and the winner is... well, it's basically even.
A nice comparison video showing cars from different decades and how a model evolved. MotorTrend does end up picking the new car over the older one which is nice to see considering the 1987 car is the personal vehicle of the reviewer. Check it out below.

Wanganui 39
North Otago 22
Wanganui have a record of making their next opponents pay dearly after suffering a defeat, and today North Otago suffered the consequences of Wanganui's loss to East Coast last week.
A much more aggressive Wanganui finally got their attack going at Cooks Gardens in Wanganui, running in seven tries to three in their 39-22 win over an opponent that has always troubled them in the Heartland competition.
Unhappily though for the Heartland Championship holders, they lost goalkicking whiz Mark Davis to a potentially serious medial ligament injury. There will be fingers crossed all over Wanganui in the next 48 hours as they await the results of a scan to assess the amount of damage.
No 2 halfback Sean Brown filled in more than adequately at first five-eighths, but the goalkicking now becomes a serious problem for Wanganui. They converted just two of the seven tries and many were from relatively easy positions.
With the forwards being more aggressive and controlled, Wanganui's backs were finally able to cut loose, with Auckland University powerhouse Rhema Sagote outstanding at second five-eighths with his brutal attacks on the North Otago defence.
He was backed up by the increasingly silky skills of lanky centre Saul Chase, who scored a try for the fifth consecutive game.
Right wing Simon Dibben and fullback Ace Malo also started to enjoy themselves, even though North Otago did not flinch on defence.
The best of the Wanganui forward pack were young lock Nick Cranston, who was outstanding with his bucket-sized hands, loosehead prop Gene Ropoama and veteran captain Peter Rowe.
North Otago's danger came from fullback Hamish Buick, who created panic in Wanganui's defensive ranks before being injured, and the centre pairing of Billy Guyton and Lemi Masoe. Blindside flanker Tony Lambourn was the best of a forward pack which kept battling.
But North Otago made too many simple mistakes when they had the ball to really impose enough pressure on Wanganui.
North Otago now seems headed for the Lochore Cup division, unless there are a bundle of upsets in the next two rounds.
Wanganui sneaked back into the lead on the countback after previous leaders Wairarapa-Bush were held to three tries in beating King Country 25-15 today.
Wanganui 39 (Simon Dibben 2, Rhema Sagote 2, Ace Malo, Saul Chase, Vaan Rauhina tries; Mark Davis con, Ace Malo con) North Otago 22 (Tom Verdonk, Tala Fagalasola, Chris Talanoa tries; Hamish Buick con, Billy Guyton pen, con). HT: 22-12.

i am different then a lot of people.i ride a shit ton of miles,a bunch is alone.i dont do crap to my sleds but dial the chassie in,clutch it and ride. i spent thousands back in the day for a "faster" sled...waist of money. after spending a grand to go up north for the weekend sure dont want to be sitting at the motel because i smoked my sled..been there done that.even rebuilt one in the parking lot.watched my buddy blow his up twice in a week trip then buy one on the trail with his credit card..
is that extra 5 miles an hour really worth a few thousand bucks?
these days you will never have the fastest sled in the bar.there are a bunch of poor farmers and laid off construction workers that have spent way more then you to be "that guy" turbo's are the new cool, stock mufflers go right along with that.
the days of milling your head, bigger carb's ,loud pipes, and full leather gear are over.. in is breathable thin gear, stiff boots,mx helmets w goggles, fuel injection and turbos...done!

The list of potential routes for two new American Transmission Co. high-voltage power lines has been narrowed to four, but one of those paths would be too close for comfort for one Wauwatosa family.
"A transmission line would go in the right of way through our front yard," Jenny Wisniewski said during a public information session on the project Monday at the Civic Center. "Having two small children, I'm not willing to put them at risk."
Jenny and her husband, John, who live on Walnut Road, are concerned about potential health risks associated with electro-magnetic fields. Plans call for burying lines four feet underground in that area.
Other drawbacks include removing a number of old growth trees and a possibility of decreased property values along the street.
"It would drastically change the charm and aesthetics of neighborhood, Jenny Wisniewski said.
The couple learned of the project aimed at improving electric system reliability in the western part of Milwaukee County about a year ago. Since then, they've followed ATC's route analysis and made residents of the Fisher Woods neighborhood aware they could soon be living near a high-voltage power line.
Finding the right path
Electric demand in the U.S. Highway 45 corridor is expected to double as soon as 2016 due to development and residential customers using more power than ever before, said Cathy Schulze, We Energies spokeswoman. The transmission lines would connect to a new We Energies substation next to the Milwaukee County power plant at 93rd Street and Watertown Plank Road.
ATC looked at dozens of possible path and came up with a final four options based on costs, environmental impacts, construction barriers and accessibility, said Mary Carpenter, local relations representative.
"That helped us zero in on the routes that make the most sense," she said.
This project is unusual in three ways: it calls for two lines; it's a short line being installed in a densely populated area; and route options call for burying lines in several places.
Due to the power needs of Froedtert and Children's hospitals - both level 1 trauma centers - the second line will be in place to ensure a back-up power supply is available, Carpenter said. To that end, one of the lines will be buried underground so it couldn't be knocked down or frozen during winter weather.
Burying lines, which costs significantly more than overhead lines, has been proposed in residential areas where space is tight. Lines could be buried under streets, but it would be up to city engineers to determine if there is enough space underneath, Carpenter said.
Hard to satisfy everyone
The Wisniewskis expressed frustration that, as homeowners, they "are up against corporate power," including from We Energies, the medical campus and even the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which has development on the County Grounds driving a big piece of that demand.
Each of the proposed routes is contentious, and with two 2-mile lines going in, one group or another is not going to be happy, John Wisniewski said.
For instance, Milwaukee Riverkeeper and Friends of the Monarch Trail don't want to see aerial lines through the County Grounds, because they could impede on migrating butterflies and birds and adversely impact the newly restored and naturalized portion of Underwood Creek.
UW-Milwaukee and the Milwaukee Regional Medical Center have expressed opposition to overhead lines passing through their properties.
However, residents of the area between 92nd and 95th streets along Bluemound Road have come up with another alternative based on the results of a study commissioned by Milwaukee Montessori School.
Burying an ATC line with two additional power lines that will already need to be relocated during the upcoming Zoo Interchange reconstruction project will save money and protect the neighborhood, according to the group.
Daniel Sage, assistant administrator with the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, heard from all of those parties. But there was also a contingent who believed the need for power and its potential to spur further development far outweighed any of the concerns cited, he said.
The next step is for the company to file an application with the Public Service Commission in early 2012. Review by a team including environmentalists, economists and engineers could take up to a year, resulting in the PSC selecting the final two routes.
"This is the end of the company's process," Sage said. "Once they file the application it becomes our process."

My dogs, Maggie and Teddie, have RFID chips implanted near their shoulders to help identify them if they're ever lost or taken. Fortunately, we've never had to use the chips for their intended purpose, but RFID enables other proactive and entertaining possibilities. My 17-year-old son is an excellent developer and eager to build experimental software, so together we plan on exploiting this technology to create all kinds of entertaining RFID-enabled, real-time location applications for our pets.
Pet Projects
When Teddie needs to go outside, he gently taps on the sliding glass door. But if we're not in the room, we can't hear his request. We could develop an application that coordinates his proximity to the door with a vibration sensor and outputs a sound to our home's entertainment system in Teddie's "voice" (created by me): "I have to go outside. Please open the door." Teddie acts the same when he wants to be let back in, so we could easily support that behavior as well (using geolocation to determine whether he's inside or outside).
Maggie doesn't tap when she needs to go outside (or wants to be let back in); she just sits quietly and motionlessly by the door. The system could note her proximity to the door and motionless state and issue the appropriate announcement. We could also have fun having our couches and potted plants "talk" to the dogs as they pass by. Or the food bowl could beckon them at meal time.
The dogs wouldn't like it, but we could use location capabilities for disciplinary purposes. For example, I suspect that both Maggie and Teddie lay on the couches or beds (forbidden territory) when we're away. With an appropriate tuning of our yet-to-be-developed software system, we could automatically detect when the dogs are violating house rules. The application can chastise them with a recording of my voice, "Maggie, get off the bed!" Then, when she complies, it could announce, "Good girl, Maggie." I don't believe in shock training for dogs, but other people could adapt this system to provide a gentle reproach when their pets stray into forbidden spaces.
Exploring the Possibilities
The aforementioned applications should be very easy to build using mostly open source components. The software could also be adapted for other purposes in a smart home. There are numerous potential safety and security applications for the elderly, disabled, or very young. The system could easily track if someone had wandered outside of a safe zone or been immobile for too long. Of course, connecting the system with vital signs and other status-monitoring equipment could provide important information for tracking and maintaining the health and wellness of any inhabitant of a private home or of a hospital, school, or retirement facility.
There are entertainment and comfort applications, too. For example, virtual wall art and music and climate-control applications could adapt to the tastes and desires of the most proximate individual in a room. Bill Gates envisioned having (and later realized) such RFID applications in his own home, as described in The Road Ahead (with Nathan Myhrvold and Peter Rinearson, Viking Penguin Books, 1995). These same adaptations could be implemented in public spaces such as schools, libraries, and hospitals, as suggested in some of the articles of this special issue of IT Professional.
There are important nonleisure applications for this technology in our lives, too. For example, unbeknownst to my son, we had an RFID chip installed in his laptop, and his cell phone is Wi-Fi capable (two items he's rarely without). We also had an RFID reader installed in his car, which can communicate with the car's commercial location system, which we had installed in case the car is ever stolen. I also plan on putting an RFID reader with uplink capabilities in his laptop and television set. The laptop device will run off the battery (or use line power if it's plugged in), and the device in the TV will work as long as it's plugged in. He'll take the car, laptop, TV, and cell phone when he leaves for college in a couple of years, so we'll be able to ensure he goes to his classes, is in his room by curfew, and doesn't sneak off campus in his car to go to on some unauthorized road trip or forbidden entertainment event.
My daughter will be going to college the year after my son does, and we plan on tracking her, too. I don't propose to surreptitiously install RFID readers in my wife's belongings, but I hope to convince her that, for security concerns, it would be worthwhile for me to know her whereabouts at all times. It's not that I distrust her, but my security paranoia has been well documented in my various writings for IT Professional. Real-time location via RFID is exactly the technology to both fuel my paranoia and allay my fears.
Postscript: This is Phil's wife. He doesn't realize it, but I had an RFID chip implanted in one of his teeth when he had a "filling" replaced. I also had an RFID tracking system installed in his car, and the tracking system can communicate with his car's location system. I also had an RFID tracking app installed in his omnipresent cell phone. Now when he claims to go to work, I know whether he's really there or off spending time on one of his obsessions, such as Krav Maga.
Post Postscript: This is Agent Lynch of an unnamed government agency. Phil's wife doesn't realize it, but last year when she went in for minor surgery, we had an RFID chip implanted in her shoulder.
Final Postscript: This is Phil again. Agent Lynch doesn't realize it, but the business card that I handed him at the conference last year has a passive RFID chip inside of it….
Aren't the potential applications of real-time RFID location systems exciting?

This morning my friend H. came and hauled off his trailer that I packed to the gunnels. What a BOON it was to have access to it this year. And, boy, did I take advantage of it. I'm pretty sure when he dumps it at the township compost station it'll come out as a solid block. It's amazing how much you can pack in if you stomp the stuff down every now and then. But there, I've cut back, pulled out, pruned up and generally cleaned up the beds and bushes as far as I'm going to at this time. I've left some things up for winter interest. And the driveway turnaround is free and clear again and I've moved the glider back where it belongs.
Now, hooray!, I'm down to just leaves and lawn. I'll keep the former wrestled up for bed mulch and the latter mowed (it's still growing!). I feel this year I won't have enough leaves for all the beds. While I didn't create any new flower beds (the ones under the gum trees are there just so I don't have to mow under them), I did widen the bee ring bed from 18" to over 30" so I have to get creative.
Oh, look! Here's a really nice pile of crispy oak leaves on my driveway. And I don't even HAVE an oak tree. Hmmm.
Gee, I wonder where they came from? And my neighbor's lawn is suspiciously bare under his huge pin oak. *snark* I doubt he'll call the cops on me. ;-D
I've been baaaaad. Not only did T. NOT call the cops, but I persuaded him to use his blower to push all the (messy) neighbor's oak/hickory leaves onto my driveway. Bad? Or just - helping out? (Nah, I'm just helping myself! Sue me. *grin*)
And trust me. This pile is WAY bigger than it looks (so does the one above). Yet I'm sure I'm still going to come up short this year. *sigh* How ironic. One of the reasons I created so many bed was so that I would have a ready place to put all my leaves. Now the beds have outstripped the leaf supply. The tale is wagging the dog. Curses!

I love how you have everything all tidied up. I had such great plans but now my Fall cleanup up will become my Spring cleanup! Oh, well....ReplyDelete
I suspect the neighbors are delighted to get rid of their leaves.
They do make wonderful mulch.
When I first started my garden here I was so desparate for leaves I would pick up bags of leaves from friends yards to dump on my beds.I have a lot of leaves now but could always use more!!!ReplyDelete
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate your notes, comments and questions and will try to reply to each one! :-)

About Me
Hi Everyone! I appreciate that you took the time to visit my portfolio. At this time: I am typically booking paid assignments only; I will consider other options based on photographer and references [TFCD or TFP]. My hope is to work to become a model full-time. Also, I am generally interested in expanding my portfolio: so, send your creative ideas my way. Let's shoot!
Once we get the ball rolling; we should discuss all of our plans over the phone. You can consider me very professional, creative, polite and great to work with (just ask anyone that has worked with me).
I feel that I am a great model because I appreciate capturing the moment. I want to push the envelope and be creative and dynamic as possible when we shoot. Modeling is not a job, it's a creative process.
Once we decide on a project and its content; we can review my rates. I look forward to hearing from you for our next shoot.
Have you worked with KiKi Michelle? Add Credits for KiKi Michelle! >>

I'm glad the tutorial helped! I'm impressed that Facebook could be moved, and I'm now left confused as to why I haven't been able to do that on my own phone. I've given up on it though, and am just never going to make the mistake of owning a phone with so little internal memory again.

Willbemommy, it's both. You're 5 weeks pregnant and you're starting your 6th week. It's like when a kid turns one and then they're in their second year but not 2 until the end of that year. At least that's my understanding of it, make sense? And welcome!
Your understanding is right but she is due Oct 21 - check the ER date.
I was taking diclectin before - it's safe but you need a prescription. And it's good to have it when you need it.

Offers an unparalleled level of realism and new remote assessment features.
October-11-11, published by Julie Grégoire, R&D Director
tags : In-Basket, Selection, Simulation, Talents
Our R&D department has developed exclusive tools that harness the latest technological breakthroughs and best potential appraisal practices.
Unparalleled realism
In August 2011, SPB's R&D team upgraded its online in-basket simulation to give candidates under assessment an unparalleled level of realism. Since this tool was first introduced in 2008, candidates say it correlates more closely to their management duties than traditional pen & paper in-basket simulations, a benefit which not only improves the experience of candidates but the validity of their results.
Assessments enriched with the latest technologies
Version 2.0 of the in-basket simulation delivers many benefits, including a better experience for the candidate and a more favourable perception of the employer asking the candidate to undergo SPB's assessment process.
It is also the perfect way to address the growing demand for remote assessments. Available in French and in English, two versions presenting different levels of difficulty are available following the management level. Organizations seeking to make electronic in-basket simulations part of their selection process can also choose from other, multiple choice, in-basket tools available via our e-solutions.
According to assessment experts, simulations are a growing trend because of their ability to harness the power of technology and to better predict performance.
SPB, a virtual simulation pioneer since 1998
SPB was among the first to introduce virtual simulations back in 1998, when it developed a simulation that faithfully reproduced the real life situations facing customer service call centre agents, an innovation that merited the title of "Technological Breakthrough of the Year" at an international conference.

How do you successfully deploy and wield a HD shotgun while hand carrying a light?

How do you successfully deploy and wield a HD shotgun while hand carrying a light?
- Janq
"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy
"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
Guys, there is quite often enough ambient light for me to see another person, and for that person to see me, but NOT quite enough light for target identification. THAT is the domain of the weapon-mounted-light! (WML for short) Target ID! Keep in mind, also, that in low light, or reduced visibility, your mind will play tricks on you, as it it tries to identify something that is not clearly visible. Your mind will "photoshop" the image into what you tend to assume that image is, instead of what it might REALLY be.
Secondly, it is not always necessary to stand right in front of a possible adversary to illuminate him. Light can be bounced from ceiling and walls. Light can be momentarily flashed while moving, so that by the time an opponent can fire at where your light WAS, you are not somewhere else. (Remember to move quietly, lest sound betray your actual location!)
Really, the place to learn about fighting with light is NOT the errornet. There is good information, but also bad. Recent information has very much advanced the state of the art, and this information is available, in this thread and elsewhere, but the myths also persist, and the thing about some of the myths is that some of them SEEM to be quite logical and intuitive. Perfectly good folks are perpetuating these myths, because they don't know better.

Your right about Surefire for end lights being over priced, but I'm not sure about over rated.

Tiki Toss
Classic Hook And Ring Game
I love any game that you can play while holding an ice-cold beverage in one hand. Cornhole, horseshoes, washers, bocce ball, and of course the "classic hook and ring game". The hook and ring game is generally found in bars on islands and in backyards of people who like to party—I'm one of those people, so this game works perfectly in my backyard. The beauty of this game is the simplicity. All you need is a hook, a length of string, and a ring about the size of a half dollar. The good people at Tiki Toss have put all these items as well as a hand made backboard to attach the hook—it's the perfect set up for hook and ring, plus, they've gone a step further and created a 3D hook and ring app/game for your phone! So when you're not in your backyard playing hook and ring, you can play it in your office under your desk and pretend that you're at a bar in Jamaica.—C.C.

Welcome to Air Logistics!
Welcome to Air Logistics, a virtual airline making a difference in the flight simulation community. Air Logistics (ALOG) is a fictional based virtual airline or VA, providing its members a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to share our mutual enjoyment of the flight simulation hobby.
Air Logistics simulates a medium (but growing) sized passenger, cargo and charter airline headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Our primary base of operations from the Denver International Airport (KDEN) allows us to provide service throughout North America and the World.
Air Logistics Passenger Services
The passenger airline business is a mess these days. True customer service has simply gone the way of Braniff, Northwest and now recently US Air. As the big airlines gobbled up the smaller airlines, the art of service somehow got put on the wrong airplane and is sitting on a tarmac somewhere far away.
Air Logistics has decided to bring the glory days of air travel back from the past. We pride ourselves on providing the very best service with competitive fares. AND WE DON'T CHARGE FOR CHECKED BAGS or DRINKS! Virtual Passengers love this new (but old) concept and ALOG is selling almost every seat on just about every aircraft and route we schedule.
Air Logistics Cargo Services
The Air Logistics cargo division includes a scalable sorting facility at the KDEN airport. Similar to the Fedex sort facility at KMEM and the UPS sort facility at KSDF. While ALOG does not handle door-to-door package delivery, we haul just about anything and for anyone.
Our largest customers are actually Fedex, UPS and the United States Parcel Service (USPS). ALOG operates daily flights to KMEM and KSDF from KDEN assisting to keep the world on time. These flights return to KDEN where friendly ALOG employees and massive machines will sort and load cargo onto additional aircraft to travel all over the world.
Why Air Logistics?
We know you have hundreds (perhaps thousands) of choices in the virtual airline community. Air Logistics was created for the flight simulation community in an effort to make flight simulation fun. ALOG membership is absolutely free to all regardless of age or experience. ALOG is a community for all experience levels to learn and share the common interest and passion for flight simulation. Finally, ALOG is a member driven community. If you have an idea, please share it. If it fits within our scope of operations it may be considered.

Defence lawyers claim Michael Jackson committed suicide
The defence team claimed in a pre-trial hearing that Michael Jackson, who died of acute Propfol intoxication, that the singer resorted to 'desperate measures' after facing financial ruin. "The crux of the defence is going to be that Michael Jackson engaged in a desperate act and took desperate measures that caused his death. We believe at the time Michael Jackson died, he was a desperate man in relation to his financial affairs," Contactmusic quoted defence lawyer Edward Chernoff as saying to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor.
However, the judge denied the request saying, "I'm not going to turn an involuntary manslaughter trial into some kind of an escapade in analysis of the finances in Michael Jackson's entire life. 'Right now this is major deep sea fishing.'"

Bad Day
I had a terrible day yesterday and ended up eating 2 cups of dh's hamburger helper and 2 cups of his potato chips late last night. It totaled more than my daily allowable calories in that one sitting. So not worth it! I immediately went into some pretty serious negative self-talk (abusive when I look back on it--I would never talk to another person like that
) Anyways, I'm trying to make peace with myself today. I was going to eat really low calorie for a couple of days to make up for it, that was one of my excuses last night, but now I'm afraid that being overly hungry could set me up to binge again. I'm not sure what to do. I log in my daily eating plan to get it at 1200 everyday but right now the plan is 800. Anyways, I use the word binge here b/c that's what it felt like...another excuse I told myself last night that it wasn't really a binge (even though I was giving into that out of control urge to eat) because I measured everything out & ate a lot less than I would have in the past during a binge.
I'm trying to understand it so I won't fall into this again but I"m not sure exactly what happened except that I've been really frustrated this week at working so hard to loose weight but staying stuck at this plateau and then felt emotionally rough yesterday for no reason, just a completely off day. So I think that I just went to the bad old habit of reaching for comfort food since it was right there in front of me. Usually when dh makes his high cal/high fat food it's not that hard to resist since it's mostly all processed food, which I normally don't find so appealing.
They say that no one plans to fail, they just fail to plan so obviously I need a better plan. New plan: I promise myself that next time #1 - I will eat an allowable snack & remind myself that I'm NOT deprived. #2 I will not obsess over the forbidden food--I will come to Fitday and read & post for 30 minutes or for as long as it takes to get my mind off of it & back into the grove of reaching my goals. I'm not sure what else to try. Can you share what works best for you if you go through things like this, too?
Thank you for listening to me and letting me share this with you. After writing this I feel a little less scared that I'm going to go back into my old destructive habits & give up.

they make up their minds to be."

These earrings are really pretty -- I purchased them in the rose gold and it is a delicate light rose gold, not brassy. The waves on the rings and the fact that they face forward makes them unique from other hoop earrings that I own. They are definitely larger than I thought they would be - probably because I didn't read the dimensions. :-)
Look great when my medium length hair is up or tucked behind my ear.

Looking beyond the girls-with-black-fingernail-polish set, in which she's regarded as a modern Joan Jett, Nina Diaz spreads her bat wings and soars away from a decadelong post as frontwoman for San Antonio hard rock trio Girl in a Coma. Having just spent a month in West Texas tweaking new material at the Sonic Ranch, she chooses Austin to launch with a Wednesday residency at open-air Warehouse District venue the Belmont. This week's installment finds teen rockers the Painted Redstarts opening.– Kevin Curtin
Back-to-back nights of seminal songcraft touch off summer break on the UT Campus. A spry 82, Ramblin' Jack Elliott keeps alive the folk tradition of Guthrie and Seeger at the Cactus Cafe, unfurling his own distinctive style of ballads and stories with crackling humor and insight. Rodney Crowell takes the upstairs ballroom the following night, the Houston Kid marking peak work in his long, influential career behind new album Tarpaper Sky, and fresh from his Grammy win for last year's duets disc with Emmylou Harris, Old Yellow Moon.– Doug Freeman
