Auburn ranked No. 6 in preseason AP poll
AUBURN -- The Auburn Tigers will open the 2014 season ranked No. 6 in the Associated Press poll, which was released Sunday afternoon.
The defending SEC Champions come in behind top-ranked Florida State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oregon and Ohio State. Florida State, which defeated Auburn 34-31 in the BCS National Championship, received 57 of 60 First Place votes, with Alabama, Oregon and Oklahoma each receiving one.
Auburn received 1,198 total points, narrowly trailing Ohio State (1,207). The Tigers are narrowly ahead of the Buckeyes, coming in at No. 5 in the Amway Coaches poll.
It is the highest ranking for Auburn to open the season in the AP poll since 2006 (No. 4).
Eight SEC teams are ranked in the poll, with No, 9 South Carolina joining Alabama and Auburn in the top 10. Georgia (No. 12), LSU (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 18), Texas A&M (No. 21) and Missouri (No. 24) round out the SEC's representatives.
Gus Malzahn's Tigers will play seven teams (Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Kansas State and Texas A&M) ranked in the preseason top 25 - the most of any ranked team - including four road games.
Auburn plays at No. 20 Kansas State at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 in its first meeting with a ranked opponent this season.
Auburn hosts Arkansas at 3 p.m. Aug. 30 and will do so with returning starting quarterback Nick Marshall, cornerback Jonathon Mincy and possibly "star" safety Robenson Therezie all on the sideline.
Marshall and Mincy are serving indefinite punishments in the wake of their respective marijuana-related run-ins with law enforcement this summer, and Therezie is dealing with what coach Gus Malzahn characterized as "eligibility issues."

Advances in computer technology have become the norm. And as more and more data is collected from a myriad of sources, companies have come to realize the value of using all that information in a multitude of ways. Facebook collects reams of data, and has mastered the art of using it, to better target its ads. And much of the tech sector is racing to both collect and use data to interconnect all facets of our lives -- cars, homes, and the workplace, to name but a few -- to implement the Internet of Things.
But all of these "smart" technologies that industry leaders such as IBM are working to bring to the masses require huge amounts of computing power -- power that just a few years ago would have seemed unlikely, if not impossible. Driving much of this technological innovation are the capabilities of cognitive computing. In other words,computers such as IBM's Watson that are able to learn. But even IBM's supercomputer may take a back seat to what Big Blue calls the world's first, "neurosynaptic computer chip." If "neurosynaptic" sounds eerily similar to your own brain's neurons and synapses, this is intentional.
The future of supercomputing?
You might recall that Watson is the now-infamous computer from IBM that beat a couple of longtime Jeopardy contestants. Watson's capabilities in the world of big data -- the collection, analysis, and use of an unprecedented amount of information -- is seemingly limitless. And big data offers tremendous potential for IBM and others, including longtime nemesis Microsoft .
Ironically, IBM's groundbreaking new human brain-like chip was introduced shortly after word spread that the company was trying desperately to unload its money-losing chip business. Talks to sell the chip unit fell apart, but you can be sure IBM's new SyNAPSE chip wouldn't have been part of the deal.
IBM's "brain inspired" chip boasts an unheard-of 1 million programmable neurons, 256 million synapses, and 5.4 billion transistors, all in a chip the size of a postage stamp. Nearly as impressive as all that computing power is how little energy SyNAPSE requires: a mere sliver compared to common chips.
Traditional chips with a similar number of transistors as SyNAPSE consume as much as 10,000 times more wattage, yet IBM's product can function much like Google 's famed "neural network," which required 1,000 computers, each with 16 processors.
SyNAPSE isn't going to win any number-crunching contests compared to traditional processors, but that's not what it's intended for. Specifically, SyNAPSE and its human brain-inspired functionality are ideally suited for processing sensory data like sights and sounds.
Alone, for now
SyNAPSE uses an utterly unique development process compared to "normal" chips, and is able to combine the memory and processing functions using all those neurons and synapses, just as with the human brain. As one supercomputing industry pundit said, SyNAPSE "may be a historic development." A computer chip that functions much like the human brain? "Historic" seems apropos.
SyNAPSE puts IBM in a league of its own in terms of how, and what, the new chip is able to accomplish. However, the more broad-based cognitive computing -- something SyNAPSE could take to a whole new level in the not-too-distant future -- is being employed by Microsoft and other big data specialists.
Microsoft recently upgraded its cloud platform, Azure, to include cognitive computing functionality, directly competing with IBM. Just as with IBM, Microsoft envisions combining the possibilities of big data with the cloud: both have the potential of becoming huge markets. Azure, like Watson and other cognitive computing systems, uses algorithms to improve its results with each iteration, actually "learning" with each step in the data-crunching process.
Final Foolish thoughts
A computer that learns, such as Microsoft's Azure and IBM's Watson, may seem like something from the distant future. But add SyNAPSE into the equation and suddenly a world like The Matrix doesn't seem quite so far-fetched. How and when IBM can use its new human brain-like chip remains to be seen, but there's no denying it's a significant step forward in the world of computing. Who knows: Ten or 15 years from now, when your computer is both answering and asking you increasingly intelligent questions, you can look back to IBM's introduction of SyNAPSE as the catalyst for a whole new computing world.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here !

I realize I butchered the original saying in the headline, but the original saying doesn't quite fit the point of this installment...which is, beware of high flying stocks when they run out of gas because they can go down - and they can go down fast.
Don't get me wrong - I love high flying stocks. In the past several months I have owned Netflix (NFLX, up close to 300% over the past year), Baidu (BIDU, up about 240% in the past year), Potash (POT, up 100% in the past eight months), and Freeport McMoran (FCX, about double since last June).
High flyers are a great way to make good money in a portfolio, but they hold some hazards as well. At some point, the fast gains made by these stocks push them far beyond a price that makes any rational sense. Does the word "bubble" bring back bad memories? High flyer stocks can eventually become one-stock bubbles just waiting for a chance to "pop and drop." That spells bad news if you aren't paying attention or refuse to believe there is an end to the dream. When a high flying stock falls out of bed, it falls hard - if you were late getting in on the stock, you can see all your gains disappear and end up with a loss in a matter of days.
I just had that experience with Netflix. This has been a great stock for the past year or more and the story is compelling. However, anyone will tell you that the stock is way, way overbought and the price is much too high. In fact, one Wall Street analyst has been telling anyone that will listen that the $234/share NFLX stock is logically worth about $70/share. I was late getting in, but finally bought some Netflix awhile back and made a quick 15% gain. But after I had it a few weeks, I started to get nervous. Having gotten in so late is a dangerous game to play, and the stock market hit a tiny bump and in two days my 15% gain was cut in half. I got out at that point and took my 8% gain.
If you want to play in the high flyer stock category, here are some things to remember: (a) Try to get in as early in the rise as you can, (b) Pay close attention to the stock. Don't expect it to go up every single day and think the sky is falling if it has a small drop now and then but don't let it ride indefinitely, (c) Get out, at least partially, if you think the sky is about to fall.
Regarding getting out partially, that is a pretty useful strategy to keep in mind. Let's take NFLX as an example, and assume you were astute enough to buy 30 shares a year ago at $84 (an investment of $2,520). By January, 2011 the stock was $184. So you would have been up $100 per share. You want to hedge your bet a little bit, so let's say in January you sold 15 shares at $184 for $2,760). You have already guaranteed yourself a profit of $240, which is about 9%. That's a darn good rate of return for a year, you wouldn't make that in 5 years on a CD. But you also still have 15 shares of NFLX left. Move forward to April, 2011 - NFLX is now $234 and looking like it could be running out of steam. You are definitely in a great position - you can sell off more shares, let's say 10 more shares for $2,340. Now your guaranteed return is about 100%, you have doubled your money. Plus you still have 5 shares of NFLX valued currently at $1,170. At this point, Netflix could go the way of Blockbuster and you would still have doubled your money. But chances are that won't happen.
In essence, the concept above lets you play with the "house's money" instead of your own. It removes much of the risk of investing in high flying stocks. Yes, you do lose some potential gain by hedging your risk, but you have bought yourself some excellent insurance.

How to Plant Mint Around the House
The aromatic, green foliage of mint (Menta spp.) remains lush and attractive year-round in mild climates. It grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9. Mint also grows well with minimal maintenance and rarely suffers from pests or diseases. Although these features make it seem like the perfect choice for border beds and landscape plantings around the home, mint is also invasive, so it can quickly take over your gardens. Planting mint around the house using a barrier allows you to enjoy the low-maintenance herb without it becoming an invasive problem.
Fill a two to three gallon pot with potting soil to within three inches of the rim. Use a pot with one bottom drainage hole with any well-drained potting soil blend.
Plant one mint seedling near the center of the pot at the same depth it was growing at in its seedling container.
Dig a hole in the garden bed slightly wider than the pot and three inches shallower than the pot's depth. Select garden beds around the house that receive at least six hours of daily sun. Generally, mint grows better on the south, east and west sides of the home and performs poorly in north-facing areas.
Sink the pot in the hole so that three inches of the rim protrudes above the soil surface. The pot supplies a barrier so the mint's roots can't spread, while the raised rim helps prevent the mint from spreading over the edge of the pot.
Trim back the mint to a two- to three-inch height as needed so the stems don't spread beyond the rim of the pot, which may be as often as once weekly during the growing season. Any mint stems that touch the garden soil outside of the pot may root. Use sharp shears disinfected in a solution of one part bleach and nine parts water for pruning. Remove all trimmings from the garden bed after pruning so they don't root outside the pot.
Things Needed
- 1 to 3 gallon pots
- Potting soil
- Mint seedling
- Bleach
- Pruning shears
- Mint can also spread by seed. Pinch off the flowers before they begin to die so the plant doesn't set seed and spread outside the containers.
- The soil in the sunken pot may dry out more quickly than the surrounding bed. Feel the soil twice weekly and water when the top inch begins to feel dry.

Founded in 1933 the Jos. Buegeleisen Co., or "Buco" (Say it Like Beatiful), made some of the most iconic styles of motorcycle jackets to date, and obviously good design has played a roll since many of these styles are still done to this day by more companies than can be counted.
After contracting with the government during WWII for flight helmets, Buco saw the potential in moto parts and apparel and an icon was soon to be born. Starting with their JH-1 and 2 jackets, they found a niche with the motorcycle trade and went strong until the death of their founder in the late 60's, when the company was sold to overseas interests.
This jacket is based on the Buco J-21 of the late 1940's. Though this style underwent several model changes, this was the first.
The pattern is a nice fitting jacket in the correct size, with wide shoulders, deep arm holes, and relatively roomy arms, and a somewhat trim body.
Additional features:
Sleeve zips, to combat the wind when riding.
Stay-fold "action back".
"D"Pocket with separate cigarette pocket.
Right hand warmer pocket for the throttle hand.
Single Map Pocket with left side entry.
Also available with the separate veg-tanned cowhide belt.
Buco "J-21"Jacket
Fit: this pattern is a comfortable fit in the correct size
Leather: Full Grain, Chrome tanned, Semi-Aniline, Black Horsehide
Thread: Black Tex 16
Lining: 20 oz Wool in a Buffalo Plaid Pattern
Zippers: Original Prentice and Talon zippers (While supplies last)

COVID-19 Updates: Flexible Cancellation Committed to Cleanliness Contactless Services Restaurant Safety Mask By-Law
A place often explored by hikers and nature enthusiasts, the Devil's Hole State Park is located along the Niagara Gorge in Niagara Falls, New York. Situated adjacent to the Whirlpool State Park, this natural geological formation is actually a deep cavity in the Niagara Gorge. It was created after the last ice age when a tributary of a lake gushed over the gorge to meet the river. This led to the creation of a waterfall and down the years, the falls eroded the area around it and eventually dried up while forming the Devil's Hole notch.
Spread over 42 acres of wooded as well as cleared land, the Devil's Hole State Park lies along the lower reaches of the Whirlpool Rapids. The rapids here are slightly calmer although it is filled with strong undercurrents. The entrance to the park is located off the Robert Moses Parkway. The upper level of the park has wide open space and a few picnic tables. Another level offers wonderful views of the Niagara River, the gorge covered with trees, the Robert Moses Power Plant and Devil's Hole. From here, a series of steps takes you 300 feet down into the gorge where you have access to the Devil's Hole trail. You need to be careful while climbing down the 400 steps to the gorge due to the uneven stairway and the rocky terrain.
Surrounded by vegetation and interesting geological formations, the walk down offers glimpses into the entire ecosystem formed as a result of Devil's Hole. At the end of the stairs, you are just a few feet above the water level with a great view of the river rapids. This part of the rapids is also a popular spot for fishing as the waters here attract all kinds of fish especially trout and salmon. The area is also a hangout for various birds like gulls, raptors, waterfowls and other migratory species. The cliff walls here have caves that were formed as a result of the waters that froze, expanded and cracked the rocks from within resulting in deep fissures.
There's a lot of interesting history behind this place as well. The Seneca Indians held Devil's Hole in high regard and it was sacred to them. It was also the site of a bloody battle between the Seneca Indians and the British soldiers. The park is open around the year although it is inadvisable to go there during heavy snow or rainfall. Admission is free and park hours are from dawn to dusk.
Although the name might sound ominous, Devil's Hole is an exciting way to discover nature in all its glory.

Prime Minister David Cameron's attempt to make a referendum on Britain's European Union membership legally-binding passed its first hurdle when his Conservative Party won a vote on the issue in parliament.
British politicians supported a bill that legislates for an EU referendum by the end of 2017 by 304 votes to zero.
The bill is seen as a way to convince eurosceptic Britons before a 2015 election that Mr Cameron will give them an in/out EU vote.
The draft law could yet be defeated as it makes its way through parliament.
It will not bind the hands of the next British government after the 2015 election, even if it does become law and is therefore largely symbolic.
Mr Cameron's pro-EU coalition partners, the Liberal Democrats, abstained after dismissing the vote as a parliamentary stunt.
Most Labour politicians also boycotted the vote, describing it as the Conservatives "talking to themselves".
Mr Cameron wants Britain to stay inside a reformed EU, said in January that he would hold a referendum in the first half of the next parliament, providing he is re-elected.
In May, 115 of his MPs backed an amendment to the Queen's Speech, which sets out the government's planned laws, criticising the failure to include a referendum bill.
The inclusion was blocked from being part of the government's legislative programme by the Liberal Democrats.
In an effort to foster more harmony in the ranks, Mr Cameron hosted a barbecue for Conservative MPs in the garden of 10 Downing Street to help nurture relations with a restive parliamentary party.
Labour leader Ed Miliband came under renewed pressure to commit Labour to a public vote when one of his MPs broke ranks to call for a vote to be held even sooner than under Mr Cameron's plans.
Dudley North MP Ian Austin, a former aide to Gordon Brown, wrote in the Express and Star newspaper: "The truth is that the UK needs to decide and I would prefer it to do so more quickly.
"I know this isn't Labour Party policy, but my view is that we should have a referendum next year on the same day as the European elections."

Steel poles are becoming an increasingly important component of a distribution system, offering benefits over wood poles to both utility companies that deploy them and to lineworkers who install and maintain them. As more utility companies begin to implement steel poles into their systems, and colleges add steel training to their curricula, industry assistance may be needed to ease the learning curve.
For the past 15 years, SMDI has assisted colleges, training centers, electric utilities, and various electric utility associations by providing complimentary training to qualified organizations. The training is set up in two separate formats—one specifically designed for students and instructors, and one developed for electric utilities, apprentice programs, and utility associations.
SMDI offers complimentary on-site classroom and hands-on-training workshops for students and instructors who have limited experience working with steel utility poles. The objective is to provide students with a general introduction to steel utility poles in order to prepare them for work in the field. In addition, SMDI will provide instructors with the knowledge and materials they need to implement steel training into their curricula. The training is centered around the information and topics contained in the SMDI training module, "Essential Lineman Training: Working with Steel Utility Poles."
SMDI will provide a qualified training instructor, with experience in training students, to visit your school to educate students via a classroom demonstration and hands-on training session. The workshops typically last 4-6 hours, and provide students with information on:
An SMDI partner will also donate a steel utility pole for use in the college's training yard during the hands-on training workshop and future lab sessions (restrictions may apply).
SMDI offers complimentary on-site classroom and hands-on training workshops for apprentices, experienced linemen, operations personnel, management, and engineers with an interest in learning more about steel poles. These workshops can be customized to meet the needs of any training program. Much of the training is centered around the information and topics contained in the SMDI training module, "Energized Distribution Systems – Safe Work Practices."
In order to provide this on-site training, SMDI and its partners have teamed up with the Institute for Safety in Powerline Construction (ISPC) to implement a workshop specific to an organization's training requirements. Representatives from SMDI and IPSC will lead the workshop, which typically takes place over a 1-2 day timeframe depending on the amount of training required.
Topics may include:
For more information, or to find out if your organization qualifies for a complimentary training workshop, please contact Dan Snyder at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Since the program's inception in 2005, SMDI has presented the Lineman Training Workshop at the following schools:

I get asked a lot, what does fibro feel like, and for years I told people that ask, it's like running a marathon up a mountain with flu! I don't think many believe me as I can talk, walk, laugh & work, but they are on the good days, they don't see me on the REALLY bad days when it even hurts my finger nail to touch anything or walk a few steps because my feel feel like I've just ran a marathon on hot coals, well that's what I imagine it to be like.
I wish there was more info for everybody to see & everyone with or without it know without having to ask, there are awareness days once a year but no info with it, I wish there was more research to find a cure, but until then I will keep trying to plod on. I bet there or so many of us out there who want to shout this out to everyone but don't because they don't know how or where to do this, I'm one of them.
Soft & gentle hugs to everyone in the same battle.xx

Passage of SB16-40 allows out-of-state cannabis investments to begin
in 2017
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LivWell Enlightened Health, Colorado's leading cannabis retailer, was
one of the leaders in an industry coalition composed of private
businesses and major industry groups that lobbied and secured the
passage of a bill that will allow out-of-state investors to have
ownership interests in Colorado cannabis businesses.
The new law removes the two-year residency requirement previously
mandated for equity holders. Investors will still be required to meet
other current ownership criteria, including criminal and financial
background checks. Passive owners of less than 5 percent will be
subjected to less extensive and more cost-effective screening.
"This levels the industry playing field a bit," said Dean Heizer, Chief
Legal Strategist of LivWell Enlightened Health. "It puts us closer to
competitive par with the many other states that don't have residency
requirements by freeing up capital for compliance investment, industry
growth and by making it easier for small operators to access capital to
While the law allows vetted out-of-state investments, it ensures that
operational control will remain with Colorado residents. The law also
provides that qualified institutional investors like banks, insurance
companies, registered investment companies and others may own up to 30
percent of a Colorado cannabis business. To keep growth reasonable and
prevent undue burden on the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division
(MED), the law limits businesses with out-of-state investors to 15

On the 16 of May 2006 a little girl was born named NAEEMA. She is now in 5th grade. She has a lot of friends. One of these friends is (FATIMA). She is special in my life. Because she was born on 16 of may 2006, we did a birthday together in 2013 in second grade. And this year we are planning to do a birthday together ……. I hope.

Good Opening Lines for Tinder to Send to Girls
Do you have good opening lines for tinder to send to girls or are you blending in with all the other guys with a lame hey, hi or what's up? I think one thing that most girls will agree on is that there is an abundance of these lame messages and it's very rare that a guy puts in the effort to stand out. A hey or hi or some other one liner gives us little to work with and we get so many that we begin to roll our eyes at those messages.
Please note, I am aware that Tinder is known as a hook up site. I also know not everyone on there is just looking to hook up and even if you are I think there are better ways to go about it.
Seriously if you want to stand out, you gotta get creative. You may think hello sexy is a good opening line, but really it's not. Men like it because they are visual creatures. Don't assume that because you like it that a girl is going to like it. Now in all honesty, if you are super good looking, it might work, but isn't likely to keep her attention very long if you can't come up with more than this. If you don't think you need to stand out, please see below picture to put it into perspective for you.
Below are a few tips to come up with good opening line for Tinder to send to girls
- Compliment something you picked up about her personality, not on her body parts or how hot she it. When you talk about just her looks, it comes across as shallow. If you get the conversation going, you can tell her later if you think she is hot, but seriously, pretty works better. Pretty feels sweet. Girls like sweet.
- Don't ask her to chat or give her your contact info and expect her to reach out. Part of winning a girl is getting her to feel comfortable and safe with you. You can't rush that, it doesn't work.
- Stay away from words that are plain and non expressive like the word "nice". No one wants to be described as nice, trust me. Instead of sending "nice profile", send something like "wow, great profile, you sound fun".
- End your message with a question. This will double your chances of a reply, especially if it's a question about her.
Remember when sending a good opening message on Tinder that she has dozens of matches right at her fingertips yet most of them don't put in any effort in an opener, so you can have an advantage if you can come up with good opening lines for Tinder to send to girls. The object of it is to build rapport and comfort first, then move in for the meet.

Emotionally Connect with Women Over Text
If you are reading this blog post then most likely, you need some help with women. What you are doing probably hasn't gotten you very far. Good for you for realizing that to gain success you must first emotionally connect with women. There simply is no other way to have long term success.
Now when I say emotionally connect, that doesn't mean you are there being her shoulder to cry on all the time or having to pretend to tolerate her emotional drama. I am talking about simple connecting because so many men just fail to do this. If you don't believe me create a fake profile of a quality woman on a dating site and just watch the lame text messages come through. Usually higher quality women can be more selective and many men think that means they have to be a super hot guy to attract these girls. That is not necessarily true.
You see most men spend a lot of their time trying to qualify themselves with women. They text pics of their bodies, talk about their jobs, cars, houses and so forth. They think these things will make us want you or want to have sex with you, when it actually does nothing to stimulate us. We want to know you are interested in us, not about what you think impresses us. If you have been spinning your wheels trying to qualify yourself in these superficial ways by building what the pick up artist call social status, you won't connect to us emotionally. Don't get me wrong, some of what those PUAs teach is okay, but for the most part it's based around your own ego. Not effective in connection with women, really it isn't.
Emotionally Connect With Women
You see higher quality girls wait for a guy that can actually lead a conversation. Most of you start with openers that are just lame and leave us nothing to work with. I can give you a recent example of a man that actually connected with me recently. I actually gave him my number on a dating site and let me tell you, this is rare.
He did something simple. We were conversing and he shared a very embarrassing moment in his life with me. He showed me vulnerability. Let me tell you something that women will treasure far more than your dashing good looks, and that is when you open up to us a bit. I can't tell you how many times on my years of working a forum for women I hear women hung up on me that say, oh but he really opened up to me. They just swoon over that stuff. That doesn't mean bare your soul, but share things that might be a bit personal as this makes her feel safe and the guard will come down.
Be careful how you do this however. You don't want to come across as poor me. Add some humor into it by all means. Be light about it. The guy that did this with me then asked me to share a secret with him. He actually opened me up where as if he had just came out and asked without emotionally connecting to me, I very well may have hit the block button.
It you want to learn the secrets on how to emotionally connect with women over text and other areas, you may want to check out this exclusive group here.
When Your Girlfriend Texts too Much
Have you ever dated a serial texter or had your girlfriend texts too much. How do you slow her down? I got a message from Ben last week who had this problem and he didn't want to hurt her feelings but her constant texting was driving him bonkers.
Help, my girlfriend texts me too much. She is constantly checking in with me. She tells me when she is going to work, when she is coming home, she texts me good morning and good night. Hardly an hour goes by that she doesn't send me a text. I like her and would like to keep dating her, but if she keeps this up I think it may turn into a deal breaker. Do you have any techniques or suggestions to help me slow down my girlfriend texting me too much? Ben
Dear Ben,
Obviously her behavior is making you uncomfortable. Is it just her texting habits or are her texting habits perhaps evidence of a deeper issue that she may have like insecurity? I know you didn't ask me to delve into deeper issues here, but it is something to think about. That being said, I will get back on track. Why are you hesitant to just tell her how you feel about her texting too much? Do you think she won't be able to emotionally handle it or are you scared of coming across as the bad guy?
I imagine your girlfriend texting you too much may be beginning to make you feel smothered. I think you should just address it head on and perhaps in person. There really is no technique to slow her down unless you just start responding at a slower pace. I would simply tell her that you are busy during the day and don't really have time for conversation via text or that perhaps texting just isn't your thing. Seriously, don't be a doormat and she will respect you more. If this upsets her, you may have the wrong girl. Simple as that.
A note of warning here to any guy who has a girl that texts too much. It may very well be a sign of control issues on her part. A girl that texts you all the time will usually turn into clingy and depends on you for her sense of well being. It may also be a sign of her lack of self control. Try ignoring her for a day and see how she reacts. If your girlfriend texts too much, it may be a sign of drama ahead. Handle it now to minimize it's effects.
How To Trigger Her Emotions With Your Messages
If your text messages, whether via phone or on an online dating site, trigger her emotions. you have a far better chance of staying on her mind. A text that makes her feel is more important than how often you text her. Many men send text after text about not much of anything and wonder why we end up putting them in the friend zone.
I can use my activities on an online dating site as an example. I get a lot of messages. The majority of them do not engage me. They don't inspire me to want to text back or write back. Many make me feel, feel being the keyword here, like I need to take over the conversation. That puts me in my masculine energy and that is the last thing you want to do to a woman, trust me on this one.
There are many creative ways to trigger her emotions. I had one stand out from the crowd recently. He was making small talk about pets and he found out I had a dog and he sent me this video. Don't stop the carnival. Wow, did that trigger emotions in me. I actually felt something and felt like perhaps he just got me. It totally shifted the conversation and created a connection, in my mind anyway.

So guess what I am doing now? Looking forward to his next message and yes, thinking about him. You can send her all the good morning messages in the world and tell her she is sexy, but that just doesn't stand out and it doesn't keep her thinking of you. A lot of guys think that if you text her often she will think about you, but that just doesn't do it.
Less is more when it comes to triggering her emotions. One powerful emotion is anticipation. If you are texting us all the time, when do we have time to anticipate? When you can trigger an woman's emotions, she will automatically crave more. Nothing like not hearing from someone you like all day and then getting that text from him. Women by nature analyze. If you haven't text her all day, she has analyzed it in her mind, (thought about you)trust me. Then you send her that text and she feels relief. Relief being yet another emotion.
Now I have read what many of the pick up artists (pua) tell you to text a woman to trigger her emotions and let me tell you most of them just make me want to roll my eyes. Telling her she is as cute as a squirrel gathering nuts or a pup under a wagon wheel? Seriously? Maybe if I were 12 years old. Trying to be cute is not attractive, it's just not and does nothing to trigger her emotions. Just don't do it please. If you want to tease us, use something real, something that we are really about.

If you want to trigger her emotions and send texts that make her think about you long after the conversation is over, put in some effort and get creative. Pay attention to her and watch and it should come quite easily. If it's not easy for you, get some help here.
Build Attraction over Text with Women
Text messaging is a great dating tool and you can build attraction over text. Everyone is using it. Its a fast, effective way to communicate while we live our busy lives. It is also a great way to communicate and flirt with the opposite sex. Many a date is now being made through text messaging. It is rapidly replacing the phone call because it is so easy. The great thing about texting is that you have time to think about what you are going to say before you say it. You have the opportunity to plan your text messages as well as your replies.
To Build Attraction Through Text Don't Be Dull
You met a great lady, woman, girl, whatever and you want her to be into you. You do not want her to land in the friend zone. This being established, you have to refrain from texting boring, small talk if you want her to feel attraction for you. Don't ask her how is her day, or any non interesting questions like that. You want to make her smile. You want to create attraction and some suspense. Don't have any serious conversations or ask personal questions like "What do you want in a relationship?" The rare and exceptionally confident woman will take this as neediness and will not give you the time of day. Remember, you are not trying to build a friendship here, you are trying to draw her to you, not make her run for the hills. When you text message a woman, make it count.
Another thing you should not be doing is texting her all day long. This does nothing to build attraction over text with women. It leaves nothing to her imagination if she knows you are right there investing all this time into her. Women fall in love in their imagination. Texting her all day long does not give you the slightest air of mystery. Women love mystery.
Build Attraction by Touching Her on an Emotional Level
Be fun and light. Appeal to her emotions, women are the emotional ones of the 2 species. If you want to build attraction over text let your words take her on to an emotional ride. Example: Lets say you want to ask her what she is doing. Instead of saying "What are you doing?' Try something like "Hey Scarlett, What r u up to?". Scarlett I am sure you all know is a very saucy vixen from the famous movie Gone With The Wind. Use some other character that appeals to her if you choose. When she does reply, don't' text back right away, keep her waiting for about 10 minutes. You don't want to be over anxious as this comes across as desperate. This builds the suspense and then when she does get your reply, she feels relief and happy. She will naturally associate this feeling with you. Text messaging is a means to create positive triggers that she begins to associate with you alone.
When text messaging a woman you can build her level of attraction through the dance of words by flirting. You have to remember to keep it fun and upbeat. Nothing serious. Whatever you do, refrain from coming across as needy or possessive. Don't be to eager and before you hit the send button ask yourself this question. Is this going to make her smile? Will this message make her feel good? Text messaages should make her feel excitement. If you can answer that with a yes, press the send button and enjoy the fun. You very well could have just made her day. You build attraction with women through their emotions.
Are you finding that women usually just want to be friends? Maybe there is a great lady and you want her attention but are not sure exactly how to go about it. How long are you going to wait? There is some other guy out there that already knows how to build attraction over text and to ignite a spark in a woman. Don't let him get to her first. Learn the art of Magnetic Messaging here!
How to Text to Women – Most Powerful Dating Tool
With today's technology, we can live our lives through our phones. You can connect on Facebook, send an email on a dating site and send a text to a love interest in seconds. It's powerful. Women are very into this. Women of all ages. They now expect you to have a Facebook page, if you don't, you are just missing out.
So in light of this technology and age of instant gratification, it would be reasonable to say, texting is huge in dating. It's not that simple though. How and what you text can make you or break you with women. If you don't believe this, keep reading. I am going to change your mind.
Ever been out somewhere and watched a woman with her phone? She gets a text and her face lights up. She has that playful smile on her face. You can bet she is getting a text from a man, not a woman. Have you ever seen a woman roll her eyes in boredom when she gets a text? That one was from a man too. A man who is clueless. A man who does not know how to text women.

I have a male friend, Chance. Chance is at least 75 pounds overweight, could use some dental work and some fashion tips. He is so funny though and has a great personality. One of the nice guys. Chance has a really gorgeous girlfriend. She is about 150 pounds lighter than he is and she can't even get her arms around him. She is smitten. Not all nice guys finish last.
Chance won her via text messages. Smart man. He texted her for over a month before they met as they were long distance. He engaged her, teased her, and made her smile a lot. By the fist date, she was already hooked on his words and had fallen in love with his personality. Today, 3 years later, they are still going strong. Chance sure knew how to text to women.
When texting a woman, don't be boring. A text message just saying "How is your day", or something similar is about as dull as it gets. It doesn't engage us, it doesn't make us smile, it's just lame. Thing is, this is what most men are doing when they are texting women. They aren't taking advantage of this huge means of building attraction.

I have been a moderator on a women's forum for over 5 years. We talk about and compare text messages from men a lot. It's sad, most really are clueless and don't know how to push our buttons. In my dating history alone, I have had 2 men who actually knew how to get me going with a text message. The rest I can't even remember what they would text, but these two, well their messages are still stored in my cell phone.
It's all about flirting with a text message. When it comes to how to text to women you have to flirt with your texts, have fun and make her smile and laugh. If you aren't doing this, well you are missing out on a huge piece of the pie.
6 things Not To Text a Girl
Texting is a great way to connect to girls. Sadly many men just don't really think before they hit sent. There are many things not to text to a girl that you may not even be aware that you are doing. I have ran a women's forum for 5 years and below is just a list of the major complaints and huge turnoffs that men do when texting girls.
# 1 Thing not to text a girl
A picture with your shirt off. Seriously, the shirt off is one thing, but most of you take it further and ask us what do we think. If you don't ask us, we know you want us to tell you what we think. Your quest for seeking our validation comes of as a bit creepy, plus the fact that you expect us to be visually stimulated like you are shows us you really don't get women. Please keep your compliment seeking pictures to yourself. We can see through that and usually it spells needy. Most of us would rather you send a pic of a cat or cute puppy, really, seriously.
# 2 Thing not to text a girl
A one line or one word response like lol, ok, or a smiley. When I get that, I assume you are trying to shut me down because that is exactly what I send to end a conversation or when I get bored with a man that simply doesn't know how to carry a conversation. We can't work with that and texts like this really don't require a response. If it made you smile tell her "that made me smile", don't send a smiley face please. If it made you laugh, tell us we made you laugh. Save the one word texts for a girl you are trying to get rid of or that won't stop texting you.
# 3 Thing not to text a girl
Hey __________. Filling in the blank with sexy, sweetie, or whatever. Again, nothing for us to work with. Seriously, recently I had a man that sent me a good morning, it's a beautiful day text every single morning. It got to where I was just rolling my eyes at that. Nothing to engage me at all and downright lazy. Get creative please or just don't text me. Most of us simply aren't that starving for attention.
# 4 Thing not to text a girl
Guilt tripping texts. This one will turn a girl off instantly. A guilt trip text is one where you say something like "why are you avoiding me?" or "you can't text me back?". Guilt texts usually occur when your ego has been wounded and you are reacting in a not so attractive manner. It shows us the boy side of you with little self control. Just don't do it. If you can't send something to make her feel good, don't send anything. If she isn't responding, please don't react, it just shows how desperate and dependent you are.
# 5 Thing not to text a girl
The indecisive text. What do you want to do tonight? If you have been with her for a long time, this will fly. If you just met her, not so much. We really do like guys that can take charge. Don't put us into a masculine role right from the start. Sexiest thing ever is a man who a woman can feel that he has "got this". Women like to feel safe and we don't feel safe with a man that can't take a little control.
# 6 Thing not to text a girl
Dick pics. I hate to even have to include this one, but the women that I talk with daily have requested it. Again, we aren't as visually stimulated as you. When you send us a pic of your penis, what do you expect us to say, especially if we barely even know you. Do you really thing that we are going to now beg you to come over and insert it? Don't do this, ever ever and that is all I am going to say. It's a sure give away that you don't know much about women at all and it's mostly all about you and the validation you need to survive.
If you are going to text women, be flirty and fun. Give her good feelings, give her something to work with.
I get it, you want to connect to women. You may even just have the agenda of having sex with them, but this is not the way to get a woman's attention. A woman's attraction buttons are in her emotions and how you make her feel. These 6 things and many more I didn't list just don't hit those buttons. Why not find out what does?
How Often Should You Text a Girl You Like
So you like her and you have this urge to stay in touch, text her often. You may even find yourself in one of those all day texting conversations. This really isn't the way to keep her interested.
So how often should you text a girl you like?
When you are constantly texting a girl you become predictatable. She starts to expect it. You also run the risk of seeming too available or needy, one of the nice guys. You may also be sending the signal of how into her you really are and this is not always a good thing. Mystery and intrigue are what builds attraction, not being predictable.
A lot of guys text a girl every day, or text them good morning day after day. While it's nice that you are thinking of her, it gets boring after a while. It means more to a girl when you do it and she isn't expecting it. If you text her the same thing every single day, she starts to expect it.
In a Hurry and Just Want to Skip to an Ultimate Texting Guide? Read it here!
You know how it seems the one you don't like so much always seems to pay you more attention. Could this be because you come across to her as more of a challenge. This is why when texting a girl you like, it's best to treat her like a girl you don't really like, especially in the beginning. Be a challenge, not so available.
If you start of texting a girl that you like too much in the beginning, you may want to think ahead a bit. How long can you keep that up? Seriously. Save that conversation for when you are face to face with her, in person. If you are chatting with her via text all day long, eventually you are going to run out of things to say. It gets boring. Too much of a good thing is not always good.
The main reason though not to text a girl you like constantly is you want to leave her wanting more. If you are in constant contact, it does not give attraction a chance to build. Anticipation is a big part of attraction. If you are less predictable, say texting less, and at different times, she will be left wondering. A woman's imagination is a powerful tool to use to your advantage.
When texing girls, keep them guessing. This conveys mystery and allure. What girl does not like an alluring mysterious guy? None! Besides constant texting gets boring. It also shows you don't have much of a life. A guy with a full life is attractive. A guy who does not need the constant validation he gets from all that texting is just sexy.
I met a guy not too long ago. I liked him, really I did. I gave him my number. The texting bombs started. He would text me all day and try to keep a conversation going. I was working and didn't have time for that. Don't text a girl during working hours, seriously. Surely you work too. It was just creepy. My like went from an 8 to zero the first day. When it comes to how often should you text a girl you like, less is more, really it is.
Flirting with text messages is huge and can get her more interested if you know how, what and when to text. You have to get the girl to like you in the first place. It's a sure way to build some intense attraction with the girls. If done with skill, you can keep her hanging on your every word. Don't underestimate the power of texting. Learn how to text that girl here.
Can You Text Your Ex Girlfriend Back
So your girlfriend just broke up with you and you want her back and you probably want her back now! Can you text your ex girlfriend back? Is there some words you can say that cause her to want to come back to you? Can you use text messaging to convince her to come back?
Well yes and no. The first thing you want to do is to not focus on instant gratification. If you start text bombing your ex girlfriend right after the break up, you will probably kill your chances of ever reconciling. The reason is because you will be coming from a place of emotion and trying to get what it is that you want. It just doesn't feel right to a woman who just broke up with you. It will just reinforce that she made the right decision by leaving.
If you want to use texting to get your ex girlfriend back, you need to wait until your emotions calm. We make stupid decisions from a place of emotion and tend to over react. It is also way more effective if she has time to get her emotions calmed as well and give her the space and time to miss the good things about your relationship.
Most relationships that reconcile sooner rather than later don't last. They go back to the same old same old with the same issues and problems that caused the break up to begin with. Your focus needs to shift to long term satisfaction, not instant gratification. If you want any chance to text your ex girlfriend back, you need to wait, and not just a few days, but weeks, like four at least.
A couple more points on this no texting her for too soon.
1. If she broke up with you, she has put a boundary down. If you continue to try to text your ex girlfriend, you aren't respecting that boundary. Could that be part of the reason she broke up with you in the first place?
2. Human nature is a funny thing. We tend to want or wonder about what we don't have. If you give her space and not text your ex girlfriend, she is going to wonder if you have moved on and this will put you in the back of her mind, if not the front sooner rather than later.
The waiting game is just step one of how to text your ex girlfriend back. You need to know what kind of text messages to send to get her to respond to you. Most men send something like "I miss you". That really isn't effective at pushing her emotional buttons. You need to make her feel emotions when you text your ex girlfriend. If you are serious at giving this your best shot, you can find more information here of how to text your ex girlfriend back.
Why a Girl Stops Texting Back
Do you know the main reasons a girl stops texting? Do you think she is just playing hard to get? Do you think maybe she is just busy? What if hours or days go by and you still don't have a reply. What if she has replied before but suddenly stops texting you back. What the hell! What is going on here?
Now I am assuming that if you are reading this article that a girl has stopped texting you completely, not just that she take a while to reply. If she doesn't answer immediately, please don't get an attitude with her. If that's the case and she takes a while to reply it probably means she has a life. No need to get bent out of shape over this. Perhaps you should have more of a life if this is the case so you won't notice if she takes a while to reply.
The main reason a girls stops texting you is simple. You failed to keep her interest and she friend zoned you. Most girls already have a stash of guys in the friend zone and aren't looking for another to add to her collection. The majority of guys out there don't have a clue how to peak a girls interest with a text and get her out. They send boring messages like the following.
- Hey what's up
- Good morning beautiful or sexy
- hope you have a good day
- how is your day going
Blah blah blah and so forth and so on. Another thing girls can pick up on and why a girl stops texting is because you come across as needy in your messages. If you are trying too hard to impress, it's obvious and can come across as desperate. It shows in your messages and delivery if you are trying desperately to get her attention. She feels no sense of urgency so texting you back isn't on the top of her list. Why should she? You aren't going anywhere. If girls stop texing you often, your texting game probably needs some serious work.
Now I also must mention the damage a chronic texter can do. What is a chronic texter you ask? A guy that texts all day long about uninteresting stuff, like what he is doing. A guy that just texts us and doesn't make a move forward is really exhausting to us. Most girls worth having are too busy for this all day textathon. Please just don't do it. Less is more when getting a girls attention and building attraction.
So How Do You Get Girls to Text You Back?
Girls will text you back when you make them feel good, whether it's laughter, smiling, intrigue, warmth and other positive emotions. If you are boring them to tears, they aren't going to feel good about you. Seeing your name or number on her phone should become a trigger to good feeling emotions and if you want girls to respond to you, and move them to the next level, you best learn how to do this. Learn how to text that girl.

Say 60 million after tax.
For me it is fairly simple. 10% goes to my best friend, no point in having someone leech off you all the time better to be able to go places with your friends and live in similar places. Meet for lunch and have fun without worrying about getting to work or what not.
Second Million bucks for each of my nephews.
The rest after paying off debts gets put in an investment account advised by the lotto people to net after tax around 5% to make 2.5 million a year. Like winning a smaller lottery every year and getting paid $7000+ a day paid quarterly, $625000 a quarter.
Play the stock market with after tax earnings, go to Vegas, other exotic places and what not.
Advise my friends to do something similar but everyone has their own ideas on what they would do.
Just don't ask what is in the protein bars.

Oddly enough, this is very similar to an intellectual exercise that I occasionally do.
Step 1 - Distribute some to family (enough to pay off debts and all bills for a couple of years plus a bit more) (I'm part of a large clan).
Step 2 - Buy small tropical island. Preferably two.
Step 3 - Have small houses/guest huts built on island plus associated infrastructure.
Step 4 - Start hiring out island for more moolah. Not Christmas, though, as that's when family come over. If two islands owned, second island can still be rented out for holidays without impacting on family reunions.
Step 5 (optional/Cash-reserves dependent) - Purchase third island in less-touristy-but-still-very-nice place.
Contact 501st and Disney for permission/help to have it turned into Star-Wars-style resort for those unfortunate children suffering from cancer and who need a nice vacation or somewhere to spend their last days.
I can't write anywhere near as well as Weber
But I try nonetheless, And even do my own artwork.

$60 million after tax?
I have 6 siblings, my wife has 5. We have one adult son. To give each of them a $120,000 annual income would require about $40 mil in a trust fund.
That leaves me with $20 mil. A similar trust fund would give us about $660,000 a year. With that, we could get a house designed for disabled access for the wife, live well, and anything left over would go for more books.

Regret not being able to buy a ticket.
Nevada has no lottery and I don't frequent casinos. Picking Lotto/Powerball/Megabucks, etc numbers would be just a pointless mental exercise because there's no place to buy a ticket or anyone to pay out a win If I should guess right. :p
Answers! I got lots of answers!
(Now if I could just find the right questions.)

Spend it on wine, women and song, then just waste the rest? Put it all into bitcoin?
Slightly more seriously, I'm comfortably retired so would - ensure that the three adult kids have enough to retire early, about $5M each should be enough as they are sensible, some targeted stuff to other family and friends, then I'd get professional advice from our superannuation advisors (they get paid a salary not commission so not biased), then I would invest the rest per a combination of their advice and my own knowledge, over a range of options
One thing for sure is I would never travel cattle class again.
On this topic some researchers used to say a survey of lotto winners five years later showed that most had blown the lot, those who had been careful and saved before still had theirs though. They now say that by two years most had lost it.

10% to charity
1/2 of the rest to sibling (we have a current deal if either of us wins, we split it)
Buy stuff for parents use like condo in Hawaii ( keep in our name to avoid headaches when they die)
Invest the rest conservatively and retire

These guys are a charitable group dedicated primarily to helping children with cancer, although they also help kids with other severe-to-fatal medical conditions.
Check youtube for vids (like this one) of them visiting hospitals, the kids look as if a dozen Christmases have arrived at once when they see the Stormtroopers etc.
I can't write anywhere near as well as Weber
But I try nonetheless, And even do my own artwork.

Yeah, one study says most lottery winners end up broke. There was another done on big lottery winners as well, that concluded that more than two thirds came out just fine. There was an article done by NPR a few years back about this subject. They interviewed the very first modern lottery winner. He didn't win much, respectively, but he put most of it away and kept on living his life as it was.
Since then things have changed drastically. When you win the lottery now you're required to go through financial counseling prior to receiving your pay out. The state will provide you with basic advice and make recommendations of advisors to assist you afterward. Most people tended to blow the money on the usual vices, or even if they didn't they bought things like cars and houses. Then they couldn't pay the taxes on them. In many ways it's the same trap that newly rich movie and music stars fall into.
However, if people get past that first 2-5 year hump of adjusting to having wealth, they statically do just fine. In fact, 85% of them find a job that they like. And the more meaningful and personally rewarding they find that job the more likely they are to handle their money well.

Fake an Accent to Get Laid
Comment are off
Ladies love accents. Who knows why but the most common guess is because the guy is foreign. Foreign is apparently mysterious because of different customs and whatever else. The point is, an accent is nothing more than not being perfect at English (who is) and trying anyway. Luckily you can pretty easily fake an accent to get a lady and all you... Continue Reading

Running on empty.
I was driving into Ballivor, admiring the lights when suddenly.....perplunk! My car cut out and I thankfully managed to maneuver her to safety on the kerb outside the church. I knew what the problem was...out of fuel, and the ironic thing was I could see the lights of the petrol station blinking at me from just down the street.
Okay Noeleen, you can deal with this, you're an independent woman.
I set off down the footpath and entered the shop. I explained my predicament and I was soon walking back up the street with my little petrol can full of E6 worth of diesel. I poured it into the tank, turned the key and it roared into life....and promptly cut out again. I retried but to no avail.
I can manage this.
I contacted that fount of knowledge, Suri.
It didn't auger well. The first piece of information I got was that it was much harder to deal with a car that had run out of diesel, rather than petrol.
Bloody brilliant.
There were articles on how you should have used an air plunger before inserting the fuel.
Now you tell me!
But then I got the good news. All newer diesel cars were self priming and so didn't need all that palaver.
Granted, the only primer I know about is the stuff you put under your foundation to stop your make up from running!
The next bit of information got my hopes up. Let the engine turn over for a few times to get the fuel running through and then it'll start.
No problem!
Wait!The next website said
"Don't under any circumstances turn the engine over as you'll run down the battery. "
At that I gave up this whole independent woman thing and I rang the second fount of knowledge....my brother Finian!
In a short time he appeared. He told me to turn the engine over and after a few attempts it roared into life.
I should have risked it myself.
A few minutes later I found myself back in the petrol station. I filled up the tank and went into the shop to pay.
I was happily explaining to the cashiers what had happened when one of them said the immortal words that made my blood run cold.
"But you bought PETROL when you were here a few minutes ago!"
NOOOOOOO! I screamed inwardly, or it may have been out loud.
I had a flashback to two years ago when I was the victim of a dirty petrol scam that ruined the engine of Roxy, my Beatle convertible. Only this time it would be all my own fault.
"I'll check through the receipts", she said, not holding out much hope. It must have been my subconscious, maybe the fact that I had bought a PETROL can made me go to the wrong nozzle. As I looked out the window while I waited, I saw my brother filling up his 161 Audi from the same pump as I had used....and his car is diesel too!
Well if I'm in trouble, then he's in an even bigger mess!!!
Receipts were checked and it was confirmed...I had bought DIESEL!
The cashier was full of apologies and explained that she honestly thought I had bought petrol and didn't want me to use it before I did any damage.
That was very thoughtful of her but it would have been too late, it was in the engine already.
But I was so thankful that I hadn't wrecked the engine I would have forgiven her anything.
As I drove home I thanked my lucky stars that I wouldn't have to start the New Year travelling everywhere on a donkey!

Press Release:
Hot on the heels of Team BMW UK Andy Priaulx claiming the FIA World Touring Car Championship, BMW has announced details of a limited-edition version of BMW 2006 World Touring Car the new BMW 320si Saloon. Designed to comply with FIA homologation regulations, only 500 BMW 320si are destined for the UK out of 2,600 cars worldwide. All feature a hand-built four-cylinder engine made at BMW engine plant at Hams Hall, near Coventry. The high revving 2.0-litre unit delivers 173hp at 7,000rpm (before reaching its red line at 7,300rpm) and 200Nm of torque at 4,250rpm.
This engine powers the BMW from zero to 62mph in 8.1 seconds and, if left unchecked, onto a top speed of 140mph. Although inspired by the racetrack, the car still delivers 31.7mpg on the combined cycle and conforms to the EU4 emissions regulations.
The limited production run of the BMW 320si starts in March 2006 and ends in September 2006, with first customer deliveries expected in April 2006. Retail pricing for the car is still to be confirmed, but expected to be approximately 24,975.
Motorsport engineering
This high level of performance has been achieved using BMW motorsport technology. Compared with the standard BMW 320i, the engine has been significantly modified with larger induction and exhaust valves to increase airflow. The cylinder bore has increased by 1mm to 85mm while the stroke has been reduced by 2mm to 88mm.
The compression ratio of the engine has also been increased from 10.5:1 to 11.0:1, helping to boost power by 23hp over the 320i. Additionally, instead of running with grey-cast-iron cylinder liners, the pistons run in special aluminium-alloy liners in the cylinder block. Engineers have also decided to remove BMW patented VALVETRONIC induction system, reverting to a conventional throttle due to the higher engine speeds demanded by a racing engine.
In a direct link with BMW motorsport programmes, the cylinder head is cast at BMW Landshut foundry alongside Formula One engine blocks. Additionally, to save approximately 10kgs of weight and lower the car centre of gravity, the cylinder head cover is made of carbon fibre.
All show and go
The new BMW 320si mates its high levels of performance with World Touring Car looks. The specification of the 320si is based on the 3 Series M Sport model that includes front and rear aerodynamic body styling, sports seats, sports suspension and aluminium interior trim. Additionally, the BMW 320si features Touring Car-style alloy wheels with BMW Motorsport motif. The front wheels are 8J x 18 fitted with 225/40 R18 tyres while at the rear the 8.5J x 18 wheels are fitted with 255/35 R18 tyres. Finally, mirror caps finished in satin chrome differentiate the car from a standard 3 Series.
FIA World Touring Car success
The announcement of the 320si limited-edition homologation special coincides with BMW Team UK driver, Andy Priaulx, being crowned FIA World Touring Car Champion at the final round of the championship in Macau, China on 20 November.
Priaulx, the first British FIA World Champion since Damon Hill in 1996, scored a brace of second place finishes in his BMW 320si at the demanding street-based Guia Circuit, a result which not only landed the 2005 world title but also secured the coveted Manufacturers World Championship for BMW.
Priaulx was understandably overjoyed with the result and commented: Its really just a strange feeling at the moment. Macau is so special. To qualify on pole meant a lot but I felt that only ten per cent of the work was done. After Race 1 was over and I learnt Dirk had finished tenth and Giovanardi did not finish, it looked good for me. The pressure was still there though. It was great during the race when I heard I was world champion and it has been fantastic ever since!
Priaulx won the title with a total of 101 points, with Dirk Muller of BMW Team Deutschland in second with 86 points and Fabrizio Giovanardi driving an Alfa Romeo in third place with 81 points. Priaulx scooped top honours courtesy of consistent driving throughout the season, making it to the podium 11 times. BMW won the manufacturers title with a total of 273 points, 37 points more than second placed Alfa Romeo.
Touring cars a history of success
The new 2006 BMW 320si promises to be the latest in a long line of highly successful saloon-based Touring cars. The FIA World Touring Car title was Andy second championship win in a row after his success in the 2004 European Touring Car Championship, again in a BMW 320i.
Historically, Touring Cars has been BMW most successful racing category, with success in 24 FIA European Championships as well as the only previous World Touring Car Championship in 1987. The racing version of the BMW E30 M3 remains the most successful Touring Car ever, having won every official touring car championship in the world in the late 1980 and early 1990.

Most Memorable Moment:
{{ reviewBestPart }}
We saw much of what makes Scotland Scotland. Big cities to small villages were on the agenda. Falconry was a treat as was the shearing of a sheep. The support provided by the Tour Director when I left my dress shirts in a hotel was outstanding.
Most Memorable Moment:
The Edinburg Military Tattoo has to rank high as memorable moment. I also rank high the ability to handle birds of prey and being involved with working sheep dogs.
I knew Scotland was a beautiful country but I was astounded at its charm and breathtaking views. The people were so friendly, helpful and happy to meet us. The trip was perfectly planned by Tauck and our tour director, always smiling, was knowledgeable, efficient and fun to be with.
Most Memorable Moment:
Every moment was memorable; but for me, it had to be the sheep herding by the beautiful black and white border collies and their loving Shepherd. The dogs happily greeted us with tails wagging along with several of their puppies . With whistles, shouts and hand gestures the exuberant dogs were off to corral sheep grazing in the distance.

"With a passion for kombucha and care for quality, Fous de l'?le brews the fermented tea beverage in small batches in Montréal.
Our relationship with Fous de l'?le began early in their formation so we were involved in the founding aspects of the product. In addition to designing the brand and the packaging, we assessed the initial market environment, helped manage production, named the product (with a nod to Québecois poet and singer-songwriter Félix Leclerc) and directed copywriting. Our intent was to give kombucha a broader appeal as a natural beverage made with care, allowing it to escape the limited perception as a health drink.
Fous de l'?le can be found in a growing number of locations on the island of Montréal, and we have the pleasure of continuing our work with them as they advance."

Designed by Hornall Anderson | Country: United States
"Progresso believes that real, quality food makes life better. But, how does a brand with over 100 years of heritage design packaging that speaks to loyal supporters as well as more adventurous cooks looking to try something new? This was the challenge Progresso faced when they partnered with?Hornall Anderson?to design the packaging for a new line of cooking stocks.
In order to communicate the higher quality of product inside the package, the design needed to appeal to cooks' creative aspirations as well as demonstrate clear superiority over the competition.?By understanding that premium brands create trends rather than follow them, the result was a solution that radically broke category conventions—building on years of heritage to create a fresh, new perspective."
"Using lively, classic illustrations, modern typography, and a fresh color palette, we emphasized craftsmanship and love of the ingredients inside. The side of the packaging touches on Progresso's heritage and love for food, and gives suggestions to inspire our cooks to create their next perfect dish.
Throughout all of the deliverables—from packaging and photography, to a style guide demonstrating best practices for advertising, a microsite, and more—Progresso's passion for real, quality food shines through."

Check out the previous Halloween posts here and here as well as all the costumes I made last month.
I actually made the bee costume with Dina in mind, but I had the idea that she could be a Queen alongside Servo's Frog King (king, not prince).
LOTR might be considered a little "geeky" for Dina and Mike, but while I can't picture them arguing about Balrog wings or anything, I could see them as casual fans and I think Dina would love to wear the costumes from the movies. She could definitely get behind this "Lady of the Golden Wood" thing.
