A short ram air intake (a.k.a. short air ram intake or a short ram cold air intake) can improve the performance of your vehicle by increasing its horsepower and torque. Short ram intake systems supply large volumes of air to your engine as a means of creating extra horsepower. The majority of short ram intakes come with a heat shield, which isolates the intake from the engine. This results in a reduction of the intake of warm air circulating through your engine bay. In most cases, short ram intake systems are very easy to install. They simply replace the OEM air intake with a short metal pipe and a conical air filter inside the engine bay. Short ram intake kits make your engine compartment look like it’s race-ready.

Short ram intakes look to increase power by reducing the amount of restriction on the intake air. In many vehicles, the intake air passes through a resonator and silencer box to help reduce induction noise. This restriction can limit airflow. A short ram works to eliminate the resonator and filter box, giving the air a short travel distance and thus increasing power. To summarize, the SRI is pulling air from the engine bay, thus the intake air will be warmer than by using a cold air intake.

Pick one up today and see the difference for yourself. Buy online or give our world-class sales professionals a call at 1-480-966-3040. We can help you decide which air intake is right for you!

Recent Ship Bottom reviews

  • What a view!

    "We recently stayed in the upstairs apartment and had an amazing experience! The place was a perfect size for four adults and our little one! Everything is super close to the apartment and we easily walked to dinner, ice cream, surf shops, cocktails etc! The beach is literally in front of the apartment which can be enjoyed in the indoor ac, on the deck or on the beach itself which had a lifeguard. My favorite aspect of the place though was the outdoor shower - really big and accommodating for a shower and to hang up your towel clothes etc. Overall we had a fantastic week and can't thank Joanne and Bob enough for their hospitality and responsiveness throughout and before our experience! The place is clean, great location, fully stocked and has the best view - we will definitely be back!"

A Reading Nook Is a Place to Get Away from It All

Building a home library not only helps organize a book collection, but can provide an interesting element in the room design of a home office, den or family room. An important part of it is a reading nook that exudes comfort and relaxation.

Setting Up
According to HomeDesigning.com, the amount of available space will determine which type of shelving is best - built-ins with floor-to-ceiling storage, mounted shelving that allows adjustment for shelf height or glassed-in bookcases that preserve older books.

Organizing the volumes may be done alphabetically, by subject or genre or even color. It may be best to separate hardcovers from paperbacks for aesthetic appeal. Also, lining up two rows of paperbacks, with taller ones in the back row, doubles the storage on one shelf.

Lighting the Way
Soft lighting is great to underscore the coziness of an area set off by itself and may come from a small secondary lamp. But a task lamp focused on the reading area from over the shoulder is the best way to go to prevent eye strain.

If the nook can be located next to a window for natural light during the day, all the better.
Natural light and energy-saving LED illumination create the least amount of glare on a reading tablet or laptop screen, if one chooses to read digitally.

To ensure warmth in the reading area, radiant heat is unobtrusive because it heats from the floor rather than through air ducts or supplied by radiant panels in the walls. A home library should create a warm atmosphere by how it's furnished but real heat that's energy-efficient takes care of the practical needs of the space.

Furnishing the Nook
A nook should be set off from the rest of a room and the easiest way to do that is to paint it a different, but complementary color from the overall space. An accent wall is enough if the nook doesn't have any dividers around it.

Deeply cushioned love seats, beanbag chairs or over-sized floor pillows will provide comfortable seating. Add smaller pillows for back support.

For a true book lover, accessorizing a reading nook may incorporate art or collectibles related to the written word - old book covers, artwork of literary characters or a collection of bookmarks arranged in a wall gallery. Another way to personalize the home design is to add photographs or personal items alongside books on the shelves.

Dining on a Shoestring: Hank’s Tavern & Eats

Geoff Tracy's Hyattsville crowd-pleaser.
The Hank Burger, with cheddar, bacon and a fried onion ring. Photograph by Stacy Zarin-Goldberg

When the waitress at Hank’s Tavern & Eats in Hyattsville brings the six-inch-tall Hank Burger to the table, my eyes widen. If this is the regular burger, what does the Impossible Double Hank Burger look like?

It’s hard to imagine a burger twice the size of this behemoth: an eight-ounce patty of grilled Angus beef stacked with strips of bacon, a slice of cheddar, a fold of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a large fried-onion ring.

The burger ($8.99) has more than size going for it. At a time when even pedigreed chefs are slinging burgers, this one ranks among the area’s best. Geoff Tracy, the brains behind Hank’s (with brother Chris), has demonstrated a knack in his other restaurants—Chef Geoff’s in DC’s Wesley Heights and downtown and Lia’s in Chevy Chase—for creating affordable, crowd-pleasing places.

Tracy brought the same formula to Prince George’s County when he opened Hank’s in the University Town Center six months ago. His company, Chef Geoff Universal, has a one-year management contract, which means he’s essentially leasing with an option to buy. Will he stay on after the year is up? He won’t say, but the fact that the restaurant is named for his two-year-old son may provide a clue.

Prince George’s residents, who have wanted more good dining options, will find more than just a terrific burger. Standouts among the starters are crispy shrimp dumplings ($7.99), vibrant with hits of ginger and scallion, and popcorn shrimp ($9.99) with a spicy aïoli dip. The fish burrito ($9.99) is elevated by beans that are clearly not from a can and by fresh fried-fish chunks. The excellent shrimp with creamy grits, peppers, and onions might bust the budget at $19.99, but you could get two meals out of it.

Hank’s isn’t immune to missteps. The spinach dip ($8.99) was flat on flavor, and a mini-buffalo-burger starter ($9.99) lacked the juiciness and seasoning of the Hank Burger. The brownie sundaes ($5.99) look picture perfect, but you might find yourself eating around hard chunks of brownie.

While the restaurant often delivers on its promise of “creative twists on classic bar food,” it seems content to have provided a generic sports-bar setting. Perhaps that can be explained by the length of the lease, a reluctance to make too strong a commitment. Tracy should stick around. He’s got a good thing going.

Bride on a Budget: Giving Thanks

In the rush of wedding planning, a bride pauses to appreciate her future husband

Happy Thanksgiving!

With Thanksgiving just a couple days away, I’ve taken a few moments to reflect on all that I should be thankful for. I’m truly blessed to have wonderful family and friends who have been there for me through a lot, especially as I prepare for this huge life moment: my wedding. I thank them for supporting me as I marry my best friend. And I’m so thankful to have Matt as part of my life. In particular, I’m thankful that Matt . . .

• never finishes all of the milk because he knows I need a little in the morning for my coffee,
• listens to me, even when I know I don’t make any sense,
• does the laundry,
• supports me 100 percent, even if I’m making a wrong decision,
• never says anything when I come home from DSW with four boxes of shoes—he knows I just got a great deal,
• is so genuine—I love that he’s always true to himself,
• disagrees with me when I say I’ll need Botox,
• cleans the toilet and the tub,
• loves me unconditionally, despite the silly and stupid things I do,
• pays the Comcast bill because he knows I really hate Comcast,
• is so smart (He’s totally kicking butt in law school.),
• tells me I’m beautiful, even when I have zit cream on my face,
• wants to marry me. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

With that, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

George Allen is pushing ahead with his efforts to attract women voters to his U.S. Senate campaign, unveiling a new ad featuring a Virginia mother whose son was killed in Iraq.

Allen has been battling to narrow a persistent gender gap in his contest against fellow former governor Timothy M. Kaine (D). A Washington Post poll released last week showed Kaine leading among women voters by 14 points, even though Allen spent several weeks this summer airing ads featuring testimonials from women who knew him well.

That pattern continues with Allen’s new ad, “Rhonda,” a 60-second spot (the majority of congressional campaign ads are 30 seconds) about Rhonda Winfield, the mother of Marine Lance Corporal Jason C. Redifer of Stuarts Draft, who was killed in 2005 at age 19 when his Humvee drove over a roadside bomb.

“Following Jason’s death,” Winfield says in the ad, “we received an outpouring of love and support. One of the letters that we received was from George Allen. What made it different was a hand written note, parent to parent.”

Winfield says she went to a speech Allen gave, bringing her son’s dog tags with her. “I was so moved, that I took Jason’s dog tags off my neck and I handed them to him and he still has those dog tags to this day,” she says.

In response to the ad, the Virginia Democratic Party sent a statement from Courtney Lynch, a Marine veteran who ran in the Democratic Senate primary herself before dropping out of the race and endorsing Kaine.

“I am sure that like all Americans, George Allen is grateful for the service of our men and women in uniform, but I remain concerned about his commitment to the benefits they’ve earned based on his previous years in the Senate,” Lynch said, accusing Allen of voting against increased funding for military equipment and veterans health when he served in Congress.

Case Study

How A Wisconsin Paper Mill Increased Capacity And Improved Water Quality

Source: Leopold -- A Xylem Brand

In late 2012, production capacity issues arose with several of the clay tile filters at the NewPage Biron paper mill in Wisconsin. Process engineers decided to retrofit two of their four existing dual cell filters with an underdrain system and media retainer. This case study details the system and explains how it doubled capacity for the two filters and improved effluent water quality, leading to fewer plant shutdowns due to seal failures within the mill.

Isabelle is 13 years old when she is sent to jail for the murder of a senator she never met. After serving four years out of a twenty year sentence, someone confesses to the murder of Senator Jake Kennish. Isabelle is released immediately and sent home with a eighty million dollar check. But after four years, Isabelle is no longer the little girl she once was.
Now Isabelle must face her hardest obstacle yet, getting back to her old life. If the judging looks and the familiar faces aren't hard enough to handle imagine having the FBI on your back wanting answers on Isabelle's past inmates and friends in prison. While Isabelle plays the FBI, and guards her friends and those closest to her, from forces trying to work against her, will she be able to guard the most important thing of all, her heart?

This fresh fabric has a fantastic zingy appeal. The bright lime green shade provides a lovely contrast to the light turquoise hue, while the white tone breaks up the vibrant colours to prevent a cluttered look. Stripes are always a popular choice for interiors and this jaunty pattern brings to mind a deckchair at a classic British seaside resort. The varying widths draw the eye and create a sense of interest. What’s more, vertical stripes can make your window appear longer.

Technical information

Important note for measuring the width of Roller blinds
For Roller blinds, we have to allow for fittings at either end of the blind, as there is no headrail. This means the actual fabric is approximately 3.2cm less for an exact measurement and 3.7cm less for a recess measurement. You don't need to make this adjustment, we do.

Please see the below illustration to explain how to measure for an exact blind:

exact roller measurement

How big are the barrels?
There are three barrel sizes - the width of your Roller blind will determine the size of the barrel you receive, this is something to remember when you are choosing more than one size of Roller blind for the same room.

      • • If your width is under 200cm your barrel will be 32mm wide
      • • If your width is between 200.1cm and 240cm you barrel will be 40mm wide
      • • For blinds widths over 240cm barrels are 45mm wide

What colour are the barrels?
Roller blinds come on a steel barrel in white, with white brackets, and end cap.

Landing pages are very important for every blogger because it’s a great way for you to capture your readers. Through landing pages, you can remarket products, build loyalty and even continue to build your traffic by having people come back to your blog. However, landing pages are a tool and must be tested several times until you get them right so it’s important you know what you are looking for. The good news is that many top bloggers have written about the anatomy of a high converting landing page and what they have found can convert your entire strategy. For example, Neil Patel has written about headlines, images, and bullet points especially how they help when converting your readers. It goes pass this because you have to know where to place these elements to ensure you get optimal conversions.

Today, we’ll be exploring the anatomy of high converting landing pages and what you can do to switch around your entire strategy. We’ll be exploring such things like:

  • Headlines: What headlines to use to ensure your message gets captured. You’ll also learn the optimal place to add the text and why it works so well in that location.
  • Sub-bullets: These are short sentences about your product or brand. These help illustrate the importance of your product or service. If the headline doesn’t do the job in capturing your reader, then the sub-points will definitely get the job done.
  • Images: These help illustrate your brand or product even better. You’ve probably noticed every landing page always has a video or image…right? This is because some people relate to visual aids better than others, and in the end will opt into the landing page to find out more about your offer. Once they have opted into your page, you can continue to market to them going forward.
  • Call-to-action: This is the button or text which is the next step out of the sequence. Once you have pitched your product or service to the visitor, they’ll have to click on the call-to-action in order to take advantage of the offer. It’s important this is placed in the right path, and has the right message to increase conversions.

We’ll be going through each element in more detail and what you can do to improve your overall conversion rate when using a landing page. Let’s get started and your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

This is something I haven’t discussed above, however it’s important before you start creating a landing page that you have research what you’ll be selling or converting. For example, there is no point in creating a landing page for a product or service that no one will be interested in because this will just hurt your overall message. It’s important you know what your audience wants so you can then create an attractive landing page.

From my experience, you have 2 awesome ways that you can find out about your audience if you don’t know who they are right now.

  1. Competition: Research your competition and look at what they are doing. They have probably been around longer then you so have done all the research required. Skim through their content or even check out their landing pages to see what type of products or services they are marketing.
  2. Google Trends: I love this tool and many people don’t use it the right way to find out the information they need. For example, through Google Trends you can find out what keywords or phrases people are typing and how the search volume is for each. Look for the keyword phrases that are rising and what other related terms are picking up momentum because this shows you what people are searching for too.

Once you have done your research, you can create a list of the products or service you should be focusing on related to your niche. Then, you can start to create your landing pages by adapting some of these into your blog marketing strategy.

The Headline

One of the most important elements on a landing page and will determine if your reader will opt into your landing page or not. You have about 3 seconds to capture the audiences is attention so it’s important the headline is just right and relevant. I recommend testing different headlines to make sure you stick with the one that has the highest conversions and this can be done by setting up a simple split test. The headline must be highly focused and relevant to your bottom-line because if you manipulate the visitor into opting in, they won’t engage with your follow-up messages afterwards. When creating your headline, you should focus on the following 3 things that’ll help you convert your audience:

  1. First, you should ask yourself this question: What is your objective through your landing page? This will help you create your headline and come up with a targeted keyword to add into your title.
  2. Secondly, you should focus on your product or service and really understand it so you can create a headline expressing the value of the product.
  3. Third, you should create a headline that caters to your audience so it’s important you know who they are. For example, if I know my audience, I’ll be able to add some relevant text which is targeted to them and this will increase my conversion rate.

A cool strategy is to visit some of your competition to see what they are doing and then incorporate lessons from their landing page. This was one of the best ways I learned how to create an attention grabbing headline and was able to increase my overall opt-in rates.

The Sub Points

You’ve noticed that when you arrive on a landing page and have gone passed the headline, you’ll find bullets points on the page. These are placed strategically to help push you over into the opt-in group by elaborating on the bottom-line. Personally, the headline is meant to capture the attention of the reader and these sub-points are there to help illustrate the value of the product or service. As a matter of fact, I haven’t ever seen a landing page without bullet-points because the value is irreplaceable.

Neil Patel from and has talked about the importance several times and stated:

  • The sub-headlines should be persuasive and are, most of the time, placed right under the main headline. This is a strategic placement because it allows you to keep the visitors eye on the text while you are convincing them. You don’t want their eyes to leave the page because this increases the chance of them not opting into your page.
  • As mentioned, the subheading should be a branch off of the main headline. The sub headline should illustrate what the main title hasn’t by describing in more detail the value the product or service will be providing.

The Value of Images

I’ve always stated that images are sometimes better then text when building engagement because they can help illustrate a point better than other formats can. At the same time, I feel the exact same way about videos because they just help certain types of content excel online by describing things in way more detail that typical content can’t. This is why platforms like have grown into billion-dollar brand within a few short years and continue to build momentum. It’s no secret that that the internet has connected people from all over the world and some of these people don’t speak English as their first language. I believe images and videos can help describe content and illustrate a point better than text can when trying to engage readers online.

When using images, you should make sure that they are highly relevant to your product and/or service so that you are giving an accurate portrayal of the message. Here are some additional tips that I follow when I’m building high converting landing pages for my audience.

First, the pictures should be large enough and should stand-out as soon as people arrive on your page. If they are large and relevant, then they’ll help illustrate your point better which can lead to higher conversions going forward. Secondly, as mentioned the images should be relevant to the product you are selling so they should accurately describe the product you are selling. I like to include an image of the product and/or logo because it increases my brand awareness. Third, if you’re providing a service, then the primary purpose of the image should be to grab attention, and demonstrate relevance to the product. Finally, the image should be of high quality because a low quality picture can destroy the entire landing page. The good news is that getting an image produced in high quality should be NO problem these days especially with all the tools available. Some are free and affordable compared to several years back when the technology was new.

If you are ready to start implementing images onto your landing page, start by doing a quick search in Google or you can even visit which is a stock image website.

The Call-To-Action

The most important part of any landing page and I decided to save the best for last. The call-to-action is the button that needs to be pressed, or form that needs to be filled out for the person to claim the product or service. I’ve always made it a point to split test so many different buttons because in the end, I want to make sure that it stands out too so the visitor doesn’t leave without opting in. At the same time, you’ll want to make sure that the text on the button or flow is relevant to the offer, for example:

  • Join Now
  • Claim Now
  • Order Now
  • Let’s Get Started!

When testing your call-to-action, it’s important you try different colors, text, layouts, make buttons flashy, etc. These all will make a slight difference and can improve your conversion rate. Many people don’t put too much emphasis on the call-to-action, however after split testing I’ve noticed that the difference can be seen over time. If the call-to-action improves my opt-in rate by 3-4 a day, then in 1 year that an extra 1,460 new subscribers to my newsletter, product or service.

The Flow

This was something which I didn’t mention above either and it’s important because it combines everything to create a better flow out of things. You have to make sure that when you are creating a landing page that it flows in a logical manner so that each point is captured when it’s supposed to be. For example, having an image before the headline might obstruct the message you are trying to portray causing your conversions to drop overtime. This is why it’s important the landing page flows smoothly so that each point will increase the likelihood of an engagement and/or opt-in.

Below I have provided an image which illustrates how the landing page should flow. This image is a combination of research done and concluded that this is the way a high-engaging landing page is usually structured.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a blogger or have a website that’s selling products, it’s important that you have a landing page for your visitors. I’m sure you have a few paid marketing campaigns and the best way to ensure your money doesn’t go wasted is by capturing email addresses. This way you can continue to remarket to the same people without having to pay for the acquisition again. Many of the top bloggers have stated that product sales have been increased just because their able to send out newsletters with value to their subscribers. I’ll admit that coming up with the right landing page can be tough however after split testing, you’ll be able to settle on just one. After, the conversion process becomes easier and you’ll be able to stick to the high performing landing page.

Let’s quickly breakdown the elements of a high converting landing page:

  1. First, the headline has to be on point and you must be able to capture the visitor’s attention in no more than 3 seconds. It’s just as important to have your keyword embedded within the headline because people are looking for a specific action word.
  2. Secondly, have sub-bullets to better elaborate your purpose or objective because once you have captured the reader attention they’ll want to read more about your offer.
  3. Third, images illustrate your point better and if you have the option to add a video then do it. There are going to be people from all over the world visiting your blog so it’s important you have a creative way to communicate with them all. The call-to-action is very important because once you have enticed the reader with your product and/or service, you’ll want to make sure they have an easy way to take advantage of the product. Make sure it’s flashy and you split test the button by changing the color, text and location.

In the end, you’ll want to put it all together by making sure the flow is smooth. Here again is the graph that you should follow when creating your landing page. However, it’s a good idea to try different locations when adding elements because this will help with conversions when you find the optimal location.

Making the most of interest free days

An interest free period is the amount of time (usually in days) that you won’t be charged interest on a new purchase (or related fees), provided you pay the closing balance by the due date on your statement. Westpac credit cards usually offer either “45 interest-free days” or “55 interest-free days”, depending on your choice of card. This means you can make purchases without using your own money and at the same time enjoy the freedom of not having to pay it back for up to 45 (or 55) days.

However, an interest free period depends on your statement cycle, not the purchase date. Not every purchase you make will have the full 45 (or 55) interest-free days – it’ll depend on when the purchase appears on your statement during the statement period.

For example, take a statement cycle that runs from the 1st of January to the 31st of January with an interest free period of 45 days. If you bought a laptop on the 1st of January with your credit card, you won’t have to pay for it until the 15th February – i.e. an interest-free period of 45 days.

Let’s say on the 31st of January, you purchase a new phone. Again, as it falls into the same statement cycle, you won’t have to pay anything until the 15th of February –an interest-free period of 15 days. The number of interest-free days for each purchase varies depending on when during the statement cycle the actual purchase  is listed on the statement.

What happens at the end of the interest free period?

The only way you will be able to take full advantage of interest-free days is if there is no unpaid balance on your card account by the due date for payment. For you to do so, you must pay off your “closing balance” in full and on time, every month.

If you haven’t paid the full closing balance on the statement by the due date for payment, interest will be charged on the purchases listed on the statement.  Interest is calculated based on the purchase date, and will rollover to the next statement cycle if the interest is not repaid.

Making the most from interest free periods

  • Any purchase you make will receive between up to 15-45 interest-free days for 45 day cards and  between 25-55 for 55 day cards.  This is provided you pay the closing balance on the statement by the due date each time.
  • Purchases made earlier on in the statement cycle will receive more interest-free days than ones made later.

Tips for minimising paying interest

  • Select an interest free period card and always pay your outstanding balance on your statement in full by the due date
  • Use cash advances only in emergencies
  • Find out how promotional offers work before you accept them
  • Set up reminders to make payments on time
  • Set up Card Autopay (PDF 78KB) to automatically pay off your account every month.

Law and the Environment: A Multidisciplinary Reader

Law and the Environment: A Multidisciplinary Reader

By: Robert Percival (author), Dorothy C. Alevizatos (editor)Paperback

More than 4 weeks availability

\u0022One of the most remarkable developments of the twentieth century has been the worldwide growth of public concern for the environment. Efforts to translate that concern into effective public policy have posed formidable challenges for the legal system. Even as our understanding of environmental problems has improved, we have become acutely aware of the complexity and uncertainty that bedevil efforts to trace the effects of human activities on the environment.\u0022 --from the Preface Law and the Environment: A Multidisciplinary Reader brings together for the first time some of the most important original work on environmental policy by scientists, ecologists, philosophers, historians, economists, and legal scholars. Each of the book's four parts provides a different focus on the nature and scope of environmental problems and attempts to use public policy to address these concerns. Part I examines how ecology, economics, and ethics analyze environmental problems and why they support collective action to respond to them. Part II examines the history and present state of environmental law, from early attempts to engage the government to current debate over the effectiveness of environmental policy. Part III explores the process by which environmental law gets translated into regulatory policy. Part IV considers the future of environmental law at a time when international environmental concerns have become a major force in global diplomacy and international trade agreements. In drawing together a wide variety of perspectives on these issues, Robert V. Percival and Dorothy C. Alevizatos offer a comprehensive examination of how society has responded to the difficult challenges posed by environmental problems. The selections provide a rich introduction to the complexities of environmental policy disputes.

  • This suggests Leibniz's preferred way of reconciling God's creation and concurrence with creaturely activity: continual creation is to be understood in terms of God's emanative activity.

  • So intellect in its similitude to divine creation possesses an emanative activity.

  • While not part of his normative epistemology, Avicenna attempts to accommodate this phenomenon scientifically, seeing it not as an innate power of an internal sense, but as an expression, however rare, of the emanative powers of the Agent Intellect.

    Arabic and Islamic Psychology and Philosophy of Mind

  • Soul is the next realm in the emanative sequence, and Israeli here replicates Aristotle's threefold division.

    Isaac Israeli

  • However, the Neoplatonists who were members of established monotheist religions do not think that one's rational soul is capable of so high an ascent up the emanative chain, and advocation of such belief might have lead to prosecution for blasphemy or heresy.

Celestial Vanguard Is looking to strengthen up our roster with a few good raiders! CV is one of the longest standing guilds on Elune. We're looking to increase our numbers to put us in a solid position for mythic Nighthold

Legion Raid Content:

The Nighthold – 1/10 Mythic 10/10 Heroic
Emerald Nightmare – 7/7 Mythic
Trial of Valor - 3/3 Heroic

Raid Schedule:

Mon/Wed/Thurs: 9 - 11:30 est

Recruitment Requirements:

We're looking for the following classes to balance out our roster. Please keep in mind we're always looking for exceptional players. If you're interested and your class/role is not listed, please feel free to reach out to us. With our limited raid times, we expect our raiders to maintain 80% attendance.

Raid composition is crucial for progression. Players will be subbed in and out on fights based on the encounter; including but not limited to: understanding fight mechanics, executing fight mechanics, performance, etc. Still, all raiders will be brought in for gear and achievements on boss fights once they’ve progressed to farm status. Our primary goal on raid nights is to clear as much as we can as quickly as we can. If you are recruited as a raider, you will be raiding.

My least favourite (Canadian spelling) topic :)

We had zero drama with loot during WoD. So far so good in Legion. We’ve been tweaking our loot system to maximize the raid benefit. In Nighthold we’ve been using personal loot on non-tier bosses and master loot on Tier. We like to spread the loot around as much as we can however, we also understand the value of tier pieces especially for DPS.

Tier loot

4 pieces > 2 piece
2 pieces > 1 piece

Lastly, We hate sharding small upgrades :)

• To create a great atmosphere of mature guild mates that enjoy working on and learning new content together. We're looking to maintain an active roster to progress through both 5 man and Raid content. With Legion content, we feel there is something to do for all types of players.

Despite Success Stories, Working With a Spouse Is Very Risky Business

It's generally a really bad idea to fire an employee at her home, but there's a notable exception: when that employee is your wife.

In that case, it's an abysmal idea.

Though he loves her dearly, Gabe Karp had never liked the idea of working with his spouse, Rachel. "I'd rather go to a dentist appointment every day of the week," he says.

Part of the problem was that his wife tended to want more "Honey-Sweetie" displays of affection than Mr. Karp was willing to provide at the office. He also had a habit of using his "work tone of voice" -- curt, staccato bullet points -- when he talked to her. "You don't have to speak to me that way," she would say. "You can ask nicely." And when he raised an issue about her work, she sometimes took it personally and countered with a retort like, "Oh yeah, well I noticed you left your dishes in the sink this morning."

The situation had developed almost by accident: In June 2004, when Ms. Karp, an attorney, was about to take maternity leave from her company, she asked her husband, an attorney at a law firm, to do some work for the interactive-promotions agency. While she was away, her husband's role grew to include her job. She eventually returned part-time, but it soon became clear that the fast growing business needed its attorneys to work full time.

But that didn't make the task of laying her off any easier for Mr. Karp, who was urged to do the dastardly deed by the company's chief operations officer. So he waited until they were at home together one day, and after a long buildup he told her, "Honey, I'm gonna have to let you go." Ms. Karp understood the business wisdom of what he was doing. But don't think she's forgotten: "Don't forget you took my job and you fired me," she reminds him regularly.

The media are filled with stories about husbands and wives sweetly banding together to build businesses. And no doubt there are countless couples -- the proverbial moms and pops -- who have found a way to take their marriage to work. But if you can't talk about your spouse as a "life partner" without a wince and you can't stand watching your husband leave the Liquid Paper as well as the toothpaste uncapped, then odds are you aren't a candidate.

"I believe about 5% of couples can pull it off," says Azriela Jaffe, a writer who has coached couples who work together. "There are very few couples who want to be together 24-7, and it's not a reflection on how much they love one another."

Certainly, American marriages don't need any more help falling apart. "Fifty percent of them will break up," says David Popenoe, co-director of Rutgers University's National Marriage Project. "If you were to add the dimension of working together, you'd probably see an increase."

Cassie Crandell met her future husband at the accounting firm where she worked, and they worked in cubicles just five feet apart after they were married. On the one hand, they got to see each other all the time. On the other hand, they had to see each other all the time. "Work was all you ever talked about," she says.

After four years, the two divorced. They had had a tough time developing independence from each other and never expanded their circle of friends. And it was the little things that really got on their nerves. For example, Ms. Crandell's husband had been a drummer in his college marching band, and he had a habit of creating drums from nondrum surfaces, including her head. "Not only did I have to put up with that at home, I had to listen to the tap-tap-tapping at work," she says. Both are happier now, but had they not worked together, she believes, their marriage "would have had a much better shot."

Clearly, couples that have succeeded at working together have managed to cope not only with the big areas of conflict but also with the small. La Verne Lemen and her husband, John, run an office-furniture dealership, and they have worked together for nine of the 21 years they've been married. It helps to have aptitudes "that don't overlap," she says. But it used to drive her crazy that Mr. Lemen, who has six coffee cups on his desk as we speak, didn't throw anything away, including those little paper tags stapled to his dry cleaning. "We've learned to let the little stuff go and not worry about it," she says, adding that now she just stuffs the cleaning tags in his pockets when he leaves them lying around.

Still, there are pragmatic reasons not to work together, including the risk of putting all your financial eggs in one basket. "It's a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad idea," says Claire Wexler, who met her husband at work and got married in 2000, a month before both of them were laid off. Both eventually found new jobs at a second company and then proceeded to be laid off from there.

And there's yet another problem: When you don't work together, you may suspect your spouse goofs off at work. But when you work together, you know it. "I knew that the 'hellacious appointment' -- or how hard he had had to work all week -- wasn't always true because I knew he was golfing three or four days that week," Ms. Wexler says. Responds her husband, Davian Wexler: "That's exactly true. I worked hard but I did go out and have a good time too."
