Walk in the footsteps of the millions of people who entered America through this legendary gateway in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.
- Mandy Patinkin (Ragtime, Chicago Hope) hosts this comprehensive look at America's famous gateway.
- Features recollections from scores of people who came through Ellis Island.
- Visit areas off-limits to the public and pore over the vast archives.
For some it was the Isle of Hope. For others, it was the Isle of Tears. For half a century, Ellis Island was America's "Golden Door." Entrance meant a new life, freedom and opportunity. Rejection meant a heartbreaking return to hopelessness.
In ELLIS ISLAND, immigrants of every ethnic background recall their extraordinary adventures, from the treacherous passage across the sea to the daunting challenge of starting life over in a new land. Historians explore the island's sometimes insensitive policies, including the casual Americanization of names. Firsthand accounts along with interviews from the Ellis Island Oral History Project reveal what the immigration experience was actually like. And rare photographs and films tell the stories of the famous people who passed through its doors many of whom would change America forever.

About SueD1960's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I grew up in South Bend, IN. My family lived in the country and there was about 100 acres behind me where the neighborhood kids made trails for their dirt bikes, old beater cars, etc. I have a brother who is 3 years older than me who was mechanically inclined and brought home just about anything he could find and would work on it. He had dirt bikes, trucks, cars, snowmobiles, just about anything that had a motor in it. I was so interested in it myself I would follow him around and he taught me how to ride the motorcycles and cars he had when I was somewhere around 13 or 14 years old. We would go baja out in the trails and see how much the vehicle could take until it would go no more...LOL!
When I was 16 in 1976 and got my drivers license he found me my first car a '69 Chevelle. I paid $600 for it. It had a small block 350 with a 4 speed and posi rearend. It did need a new paint job but ran well. Unfortunately in the year of 1978 when we had those bad winters there was black ice on the road I was driving down and the car behind me hit me and pushed me into a snow plow. The frame was bent and it was totalled. Most people who are in a crash would be concerned about the other people involved but no not me....I jumped out and yelled at the guy who hit me and said "Look what you did to my car" "I'll never get another one like this" He just thought I was in shock from the bump on my head.....but I was so mad!
But then a few months later my brother who also had a '69 Chevelle said he would sell me his. His car had a lot more high performance parts on it and a lot faster than mine, but he told me I could handle it. When I first got it I thought to myself "holy ****" this car is fast. It also had a 350 small block but he had it balanced and blueprinted. It was also a 4 speed. Back then they had the Hurst super shifter that everyone raved about so I had to get it. My brother told me I could shift that car better than any guy he knew. Him and his friends would all hang out in our garage and if I would head out the guys would all cheer me on to do a burnout in front of my house. That became almost a daily ritual for me. My poor parents had so much rubber in front of their house. No wonder why I went through so many tires on that car....LOL! I couldn't help it....I got such an adrenaline rush from it. To this day just going to the dragraces I still get that pumped up feeling.
I have a lot of respect for nice cars and every car I have owned I became attached to, even the crappy ones!

Transportation in Melbourne
Melbourne is a city designed for sightseeing on foot, and it has the climate to boot. Provided you're of moderate fitness, you should be able to get just about everywhere, except St Kilda, by foot.
The bus network is designed to complement Melbourne's train and tram networks. Services are concentrated in the outer suburbs and it's unlikely that visitors will need to use them. Bus tickets can also be used on trams and trains. The privatised Skybus links the city and the airport.
Melbourne's taxis are plentiful and canary yellow. Taxi drivers are supposed to sit a test but if your destination is out of the ordinary, the chances are you'll be giving them directions.
Rent your car
You'll have to drive on the left in Melbourne, but with wide roads, a grid layout and clear signs, driving is a breeze. There's no shortage of parking spaces, either on the street by parking meters or in one of the city's car parks.
Transportation tips
Public Transport Victoria tickets are valid from two hours to a day or week/weekend combinations but it's useful to note that by the end of 2012 the myki reusable smartcard system will have been fully introduced. The system is zoned, but most visitors will only need to buy a Zone 1 ticket. The tickets can be used on all public transport services. Users are encouraged to pre-buy their tickets (they're available online), although a limited range is available on trams and buses. Remember to start collecting coins for the tram ticket machines.

Try The Martingale Roulette Strategy
Roulette is an interesting gambling game that has scored the attention of players worldwide. In the 18th century, Martingale Roulette Strategy was originated first in France and it is considered to be one of the oldest and classic betting systems. The Martingale Roulette Strategy is simple, oldest, and most treacherous betting system. Never mind, whether you a pro gambler or a pass time gambler, you can try this roulette strategy to make successful winning.
Betting strategy – Whether you gamble regularly or occasionally, if you are a fan of gambling then you might have heard of Martingale Roulette Betting Strategy. The betting system is not only popular in roulette but also in various other gambling forms.
The concept behind the Martingale Roulette Strategy can be explained with the help of a coin. If the gambler stakes his bid on heads and toss the coin, if coin comes up with head then he wins the bet but if it comes up with tails he loses his bet. For the second round of betting the gambler needs to double his bet to cover the loss he suffered in his last round. This way the gambler will be able to retrieve all his earlier loses. For example: if a gambler places his bid on heads with $5 and loses it. Then he needs to double the amount in his next bet to $10 to recover the loss.
Again, if the gambler loses the bet he has to double the bet to $20. So, if the gambler loses in all five around his 6th consecutive bid would be of $160. In 6th round if the gambler wins and coin comes up with heads he is able to retrieve his earlier loses but just wining with the margin of $5. This betting strategy is dangerous and can make you bankrupt. It's advised to start your bid with lower amount. The problem with strategy is that gambler needs hefty bank balance to insure a return. The nature of this Martingale Roulette Betting Strategy has made many gamblers bankrupt.
Risks involved in the Martingale Roulette Strategy – As you have read above that risk is big with this betting system. If the gambler wins his game then its good. If the gambler loses consecutively for 10 round his loss would be $5115. For this betting system gambler needs infinite wealth to play ahead in the game. Besides being wealthy enough, the player has to be smart enough to make successful winning. Never be sticky even if you make huge profits at a time, and as well never struggle all the day longer even if you have lost your money. A smart gambler will be efficient in managing the risks and exploit the chances of money making through the roulette game.
The Martingale Roulette Strategy is good in casino
The betting system is based on the series of random events. Where a gambler needs to double his amount with the loss suffered in last round. So, wining with this strategy is fifty-fifty for the gambler. The casino's are aware of this strategy and have placed limits to gamble on every table. As this system is based on series of random events gambler needs to play with shorter series. As in this system there is no definite way for a gambler to win his game. So, it's better to play with small amount and for short blast. The Martingale Roulette Strategy does not work well with games having longer series. To win at the casino with this strategy gambler is advised to bet with the amount awarded when joining the casino rather than putting your savings on the stake.

Fred Bar 5pts Right now you can get a discounted 2014 GT with Track Pack and Recaros for $31.1K or a well equipped Premiun for $35K at carsdirect ... In case you may not like the new 2015 GT or the inflated price you may have to pay initially.
TTuned 5pts v is way too quiet stock, on both ends. A true enthusiast should never drive stock!! Intake opens up the sc whine, corsa makes the LSA sing so neither get drowned out. At WOT its a true axe murder sound, at cruise no drone. All is :)
TTuned 5pts Why not ask the people who own these cars!?? I have a Cts-v 121mph, and a e90 335i 109mph why m3? M3 poor mpg, high price even used, no tq. Judging the back seat I don't think the V is in the same class as a e90. V gets 12mpg avg, 335 gets 20-23mpg. V handles like my CLS should have, recaro seats are just too bulky, need to be thinned out to avoid squeaking on the center console. I am very biased because I enjoy driving boosted cars much more than NA, for the sounds, and the hit when boost hits makes driving more fun. Also I look at tune ability; rs5, and m3 leave little to gain. Wish they tested modded cars more often on video. V sc whine just means its getting serious, and I love the CHEAP vette maint. E90 pro is the lighter weight, V is loud, huge power, want more? turn Trac off and try to keep it straight! V Trac control works diff than Germans, it won't kill the party and flash lights making you feel like u broke something. It's allowing limited slip to keep moving forward and staying smooth and efficient like a launch control after release. BMW/mb will make u think something broke when u get too crazy, an o sht moment. Lastly, and realistically I would never race in competition on a road corse with cars this expensive, and expensive parts. I save that for VLAB track days when invited by the manuf. finally the boosted F80 M3 will make big news look out for that beast, and with a tune it should smoke the V and everything else.
firstname.lastname@example.com 5pts I like the CTS-V and think it's a great car but the reason why it didn't win the comparison sounds like something a white girl would say...."it doesn't have a great trunk...ewww we don't like the cup holders." it should be about what matters....fast car...good looking car...far cheaper than it's competition. that's what matters to us men anyway.
koenigseggfire 5pts the cts coupe is still the ugliest car on earth. I'd grab the audis ass with both hands and squeeeeeeeeze that car, I love
blakegalloway 5pts I wasn't referring to driving to experiences, but rather the inherit performance bonuses of a modern dual clutch unit when compared to a torque converter automatic.
Captain.Awesome 5pts Blake, which is more comparable ("similar") to the driving experience of a car with a dual clutch unit?(Choose the best answer out of the choices provided.)A) A car with two pedals (gas and brakes) that can still be shifted on command via "rocker switches."B) A car with three pedals (gas, brakes, and clutch).(Hint: dual clutch equipped cars have two pedals but can still be shifted on command.)
blakegalloway 5pts How is a traditional 6 speed automatic similar to a 7 speed dual clutch unit?Also: Lulz @ people complaining about the observed fuel mileage. I guess they think 160+mph should return highway mileage seeing as how it's on the highway.
syj1 5pts captain:Point is the RS5 wont be on sale here until 2012 and the V could be enhanced in two years. They are comparing 3 cars when one of them isnt sold in the US. The V is automatically in second place based on the fact that it's actually available for the 2011MY. The manual should've been used if they think the auto is a liability. The point is the car has that option but MT talks about the auto like you are stuck with it.
syj1 5pts bbkk:Power to weight ratio. I'm sure you are familiar with the term. Saying the M3 is overacheiving is ridiculous when a Mustang can get to 60 in 4.6 secs and run the quarter in 110mph for $31k. The M3 is very light for a car with a V8 (cant think of any lighter cars)and thus it can get close to the V below 100mph. The faster you go, the more the V will open the gap due to its hp advantage. When a car can get to 60 in 4.1 secs due to launch control it ridiculous to expect a similar car to "crush it" in acceleration without AWD. Only a GTR can crush an M3 in 0-60 and that's due to traction. The Mustang pulls .95g on the skidpad. If you think its a straight line cruiser you aren't too smart. Then again, your posts make that evidene.
syj1 5pts nature:Butt whipped? Did you read the comparo? The V had the strongest engine, best steering and great brakes. They said the tranny was the only real weak point. That's not a whipping my man. bbkk:People arent setting up launch control at a stoplight. Period. As I said, its only good for testing or playing around. Its not even useful at a track where the M3 would lose to the CTS-V coupe as well all know. It's a gimmick.
Captain.Awesome 5pts "The CTS-V would've won if it had a manual. Blah blah blah."- Do you guys realize that they are comparing all cars here with SIMILAR transmissions? That manual would have been out of place in this test. It would present a completely different driving dynamic (shifting with a clutch pedal) not present in the others; it would be like comparing apples to pineapples.- The tests I have seen place the automatic transmission CTS-V as the faster straight-line alternative to the manual for whatever reason. Look it up.- GM's launch control numbers in their launch control equipped cars, although consistent, are slower than the fastest times feathered out with launch control switched off. If this CTS-V had launch control, it would not have been faster than the numbers you see here.- No, the 2013 RS 5 was not sent here from the future.
bbkk 5pts Syj - The M3's acceleration is VERY close in 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Sorry, the V's 3 tenths of a second and 4 mph faster doesn't impress me when it has 142 more hp and 256 more lb/ft torque. Most cars on the road don't even have 256 lb/ft of torque. Yeah, i get that the V weighs a lot more, but the power difference should still have crushed the M3 instead of sweating it out to take the lead. I'm impressed that the M3 really kept up, despite the V's HUGE power advantage.Funny you bring up the Camaro/Mustang in a luxury sport car comparison. Too bad all they have is straightline acceleration. Throw any turns in the mix and they get sloppy real quick, at least in comparison to these three cars. Again, the torque difference is huge, and the Mustang probably weighs a little less. Not sure about the Camaro's weight though. Anyway, still an irrelevant statement.I'm pretty sure launch control isn't that difficult to figure out. I don't know what you're talking about.
bbkk 5pts Syj - You're probably right about highway drag races where traction is mostly a non-issue, but stoplight races are just as common, and the CTS-V's lack of launch control and low-speed traction would obviously give the advantage to the M3/RS5. By the way, I've watched a good amount of video/audio on the CTS-V/M3, and IMO the supercharger is quite audible and annoying at lower revs, and then slowly dulls as the revs rise and the engine sound mostly takes over. I'm not sure what you mean by "manly" sounding. Is that just another typical American way of saying, "there's no replacement for displacement"? The sound is obviously deeper, but its also more than 50% bigger, maybe the deeper the more manly?? Idk, not seeing your logic.
mxlicamaro 5pts mm is a weird thing... a 2013 vs two 2011.. sounds kind of unfair to me... only for that caddys should be 2nd place it's only sin seems to be the trans surely gm will change that soon..
nature10879 5pts What is the fuss here about the M3 winning by mistake, Those of you who are angry of the results of this comparisson need to know that the MT know what they are doing when rating these cars. Most of you havent even driven any of these cars and yet you are here trying to argue that the Cuddy shouldn't have finished last. It got his butt whopped and there is nothing wrong with that. The M3 does this job the best and look, It is the cheapest here..and i thought the cuddy would be the cheapest..what happened??
syj1 5pts summersh:Jaguar and Bentley are known for using wire mesh grilles. Its not tacky. Don't ever confuse the CTS with a pimped out G37 with ridiculous ground effects. The mesh grille is only tacky if you thing dull Japanese luxury brands set the standards for exterior design. everdream:Guess you must be talking exteriors only. Caddy's interior is better looking and more modern than the depravation chamber known as the M3 interior. as for the exterior- 99% of people wouldnt know the M3 is anything more than a 3 series coupe.
himoses 5pts I'd have to go with a CTS for an every day driver, but yeesh to that gas mileage. Seems like the CTS is the best balanced car and that is what I prefer. For fun-to-drive, I'd go with the M3.
everdream 5pts @lexusgmlvrCTS-V places 3rd for the same reason your beloved Hyundai Genesis placed above the V6 Mustang. numbers obviously aren't everything here.ps: the caddy is the ugliest of the bunch here.
summersh1 5pts this just shows that gm needs to fix the sizing of their vehicles so that the right comparisons are made, they do this with several of products...the audi is easily the best looking so maybe that helped it beat out the cts with that tacky grille (people say the g35 anniversary edition looked riced??) im a fan of the cts but lets face it the m3 has been the benchmark for sports sedans/coupes for years and even for other segments it will take a lot to beat but
syj1 5pts bbkk:You can find plenty of video out there with the V and ZR1. The supercharger is barely audible. The M3 sounds OK when you get it well into the rev range but overall its not a manly V8 sound. The V is actually too muted for my tastes. The ZR1 sounds magical when working. The M3 is NOT close in acceleration and trap speed through the quarter. It's close to 60 because of launch control but after that the hp of the V takes over as evidenced by a trap speed that is close to GTR territory. I mean the Mustang and Camaro can run 110-111mph in the quarter so the M3's trap speed isn't all that impressive for $69k. What is launch control REALLy for other than magazine testing? In the real world when no driver has time to engage launch control the V will clearly be the faster car. MT obviously didn't deduct any points for the M3's dated, dull interior. Worst of the group in that department.
syj1 5pts bbk:You've driven the V? didnt think so. C&D and MT said it had the best steering of the group and C&D said it had the best brakes and best high speed ride quality. Sorry, the M3 is hardly unrivaled.Those reveling in the M3's numbers need to keep in mind that you arent going to match those numbers on the street and launch control was likely used. The V's numbers are done the old fashioned way and in a real street race the V would demolish the other two cars. The gap in acceleration is only so small due to launch control which ensures a perfect high rev launch for the two weaker cars.
bbkk 5pts UAW - The V's acceleration advantage was slim at best, and quite frankly, a $65K-$70K Caddy should come with launch control or at least have it as an option with that amount of power going to the rear wheels. Unless you really like the sound of supercharger whine drowning out the rest of the engine, I doubt the LSA sounds better than the M3.
joelseff 5pts So Audi adds tons of tech to counter understeer???!? Couldnt they have just designed a RWD and be done with it? That's what I hate about Audi and Acura and all the other FWD biased cars. They have to add millions of $$$ in R&D for add'l tech (SH-AWD, Torque Vectoring etc) to be on par with RWD cars' handling and balance. I don't get it...And why all the concern over weight? So what if the V is heavier? it moved better than the other two!
KD Bond 5pts bbkk, unrivaled? This whole test says the complete opposite! I know that numbers don't say it all, but they say much more than you're giving them credit for in this case. Remember this is a bigger, heavier car without the assistance of launch control. And why didn't we get an audio clip of how the LSA sounds from behind the wheel? I'm willing to bet the V would win that one, too!
bbkk 5pts DrEagle - You forgot one thing...the V weighs 700 lbs more than the M3, explaining the paltry difference in acceleration numbers. However, to be completely honest, even when considering the weight difference, the V should probably have beaten the M3 by a half-sec to 60 and a full second in the 1/4 mile. That extra 250+ lb/ft of torque should have pulled much more despite the extra weight. Those saying that the M3 should not have won, have never driven it. Numbers rarely reveal the true winner. That's why we trust in MT's staff to tell us what the numbers can't. The M3 is definitely not perfect, but the driving experience it provides behind the wheel is unrivaled.
DrEagleBarrett 5pts For all those of you who insist that the Cadillac "beats up" or "walks all over" the M3 consider this. First, I would hardly call 1 tenth of a second in the 0-60 time a major victory! The Cadillac, on paper beats the M3, yes, however tell me what the V does with its substantial horsepower difference. 145 more BHP than the M3 and a massive 256 lb-ft more than the M3 and it still only beats it by 3 tenths of a second in the quarter mile and that is only if you have a skilled driver who can feather the throttle like it needs to be! Sorry GM guys, the M3 is the best car for the money! It costs less and does just as much as the V for the average driver! It truly is the drivers car in the bunch! And so we are clear, I think the Audi is the best looking by far! It is for sure the classiest one of the bunch!
SuperCJ427 5pts How is the M3 greatest here when it can't even win in one performance category over V??? It has a ugly interior over the other 2. Clunky transmission over Audi. How is it the greatest??? Forgot...editors/drivers wanted it to win regardless.This article has no objective.
tpa_car_luvr 5pts I hope that GM gets a DCT real soon. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. They can buy it from tranny makers just as they do with many of them now.
aplusone 5pts I would go for the V. When you're on the street, or on the freeway, straightline performance is all that counts. You hardly race by taking corners and measuring a car's agility (unless you're on a closed course). That's the mentality of American manufacturers. It's mainly straighline performance on the streets. If I had the V on the street and an M3 or the RS5 happened to be next to me in the stoplight, you can bet that I'm blowing their doors off. The V should have been ranked 1st, M3 close 2nd, and RS5 3rd.
ZCaT 5pts First- the V is seriously awesome looking. I like the smooth Audi but the V looks like it wants to eat your lunch. The V wins in my book because it beats the Audi in all performance categories, and, what would happen if you filled the BMW up with 3 fat passengers to make the weight even to the V? I'll tell you what would happen, the M would squeal like a pig and ride like a donkey.CASE CLOSED!!!!!!!!!
syj1 5pts capt awesome:The M3 is based on a 3400lb compact car while the V is based on a 3800lb midsize car. The M3 is so much lighter that its hard to imagine a scenario in which the Cadillac could outhandle the BMW. That said, the V is faster, has more usable power, will beat the M3 on a track and has a far superior interior. A case could be made for the V to be the best of the trio. BTW, C&D noted the Audi and BMW 0-60 times were achievable with launch control while the V does it the old fashioned way. On the street the V would stomp these other two.
syj1 5pts nard:At the track the V will win. Its already been proven that the M3 nor M5 can beat the V on a track. What I dont get is MT has an automatic car and doesn't mention a manual is available. If you dont like the "old school" auto than get the stick. Last time I checked that's the preference of enthusiasts anyway. The V came in third because they are hung up on the torque converter automatic. They kept talking about shifting it manually and its slow reaction. They should've let the car shift itself. There is a manual for those who want to do all the work.
syj1 5pts Its funny how so many keep saying "there are no losers here"- well according to MT the V is the loser even though it wipes the floor with the overpriced Audi. In America the 2nd place Audi is a nonfactor until 2012 so none of us should even care that its ranked 2nd. Who knows what the 2013 V coupe will be like? The M3 likely wont be sold that year since a new 3 series will be out in 2012. The V is at least the 2nd best car here. Based on those 1/4 mile times and speeds it probably should be #1.
Toyota.Lexus 5pts I dont really like the look of the M3.. but I would chose it from this bunch.I like the Audi... but I dont like AWD (too easy to drive) and I dont wanna feel like the car is driving for meThe caddy is ugly... well at least in photos
true_enthusiast 5pts @haniThe RS5 is just an overpriced A5 with a power boost. Sure its faster, but its still slow given the competition. If you want fashion get the A5 and save your cash, no one else will even know the difference since they look the same.
Nardbird 5pts I would probably concede that Angus's review was accurate if more information were provided. Why exactly did the Caddy come in 3rd? There really wasn't an adequate and detailed explaination of steering feel and/or chassis dynamics or interior egonomics. The comparo seemed to be "quick and dirty". To be fair, this comparision should've been conducted at the track. Folks, let's reminder ourselves that this is just Angus's opinion...buy the car you want.
hani 5pts RS5 is best looking car here and the best every day car ( AWD and nicer and bigger interior)M3 is The most fun car to drive ( the other cars is fun to drive too but just not like the M3 like the editor said)the CTS-V coupe is the strongest more powerful and the cheaper one too .so I think it is about what do you want Fashion: RS5 Handling :M3power: CTS-Vand i would choose the RS5 (the sexiest car ever)
pmirp1 5pts Well this is not a balanced review, because i am not sure if a CTS should be compared against an M3. i mean Motor Trend says they compared CTS sedan vs. an M5 before. There is no doubt, M3 is a dynamically better automobile, as it should be being around for so many years.The problem is with Caddy,it is a tweener. Not big enough to compete again midsizers, not small enough to compete against M3. As for RS5, the Audi is just a more desirable car. A look at used car prices for S5 will drive that message home. The Caddy is just not as voluptuous a shape. In fact from some side and rear angles it looks torturned.Regardless, a nice try by the home team, just not able to compete with the cream de la cream. i agree with the results, but Caddy should not be ashamed at producing the best personal luxuty car made in America (with all due respect, Mustang and it rigid rear axle and no telescoping steering wheel is not luxury, and Corvette has not been to finishing school for years and years)
mo_pho 5pts The M3 is as about as all-around perfect as a car can get. I'd have to say I expected the CTS-V to trump the RS5, though.
TeamDCX 5pts M3 is greatest all around car here, but the RS4 is most beautiful and the CTS-V is most powerful, thus thier are no losers here.
Captain.Awesome 5pts hah, it's funny reading all the whiners crying over the CTS-V. "But it has more powerrr... :("The M3 is the better car. Get over it.
2GNTEclipse 5pts The same test was run in Car and Driver (just got my new one last night) with the 2/3 result swapped. They're all fantastic cars, but I'd probably lean towards the Audi or Caddy over the Bimmer despite my wife having an '04 300Ci that's quite nice. To each their own.
SuperCJ427 5pts V beats every stock M or every RS# out there. Period.Averaging the comments simply implies whos the winner. V.
del_ro78 5pts the CTS may not be my 1st choice of the 3 but have to give credit where credit is due. when was the last time anyone took an American car serious when we're talking anything with the letters M or RS involved (may as well add AMG in there)? the fact that it held its own as well as it did against the BMW and audi is a big statement. where it placed, i think most people will choose to rank it according to their own bias. i dont' disagree with the rankings (i do have a bias towards the RS5 however) but i like that there's finally some serious competition to the usual european luxury sports coupes/sedans from the other side of the atlantic.have to comment on a comparison someone mentioned to the SS. really? this is a dedicated sports car, it better be fast. dont' forget that the M3, RS5 were luxury cars before they had any sporty nature to them.
SuperCJ427 5pts All you morons who are favoring tech bits on germans...Caddy beat all these german crap in everything. So what do these tech bits doing? Oh yeah...for you guys to read in the manual. Poor M3 got killed. Haha. Forget RS5. Not even close. Not surprising at all. Thats a god damn detuned ZR1 motor in there.
quantmflux69 5pts @TTuned I owned an 08 E92 M3 that I bought new and drove until just now when I traded it in for a '14 RS5. Good buddy of mine owns a CTS-V and, while I like it a lot, I find the car just a bit too big and it's also a bit too brutal. Unlike apparently all of the USA, I actually don't like having a ridiculous amount of tq. I like high revving engines so I can *choose* to fly off the light. I actually enjoy revving the engine to get it to move. It's too easy to break the CTS-V loose IMO. That said, absolutely world class car.What you're rambling on about doesn't make much sense at all. I can tell, as a buyer of these cars, that 99% of us do *not* mod them. Ive spent years and years on forums, and wasted my share of money modding, so I know that *some* do, but the vast majority do *not* take an $80k car and then start screwing with it. Once you do, its a money pit game so mags "testing modded cars" would be idiotic. Buy Import Tuner if you want that.I'd also say that pretty much *no one* (statistically) is choosing an M3, RS5 or CTS-V based on "tunability". Once the car has been sold off by the original owner and changed hands 3 times, and landed in the lap of most of the "owners" on forums that are modding the crap out of them, then yeah sure... that matters. Not for original owners who specifically made the investment in having a factory tuned, fully warrantied, "fast enough and good enough" car, however.

1 in 3 Illinoisans lives in or near poverty level: report
by maudlyne ihejirika Staff firstname.lastname@example.com January 15, 2013 8:32PM
Rodney Dawkins near his apartment building in Chicago, Ill., on Tuesday, January 15, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: February 17, 2013 6:30AM
A staggering one out of three Illinoisans today lives in or near poverty — the peak of a continued climb over three decades, a new study finds.
It means one in five Illinois children are living in poverty, according to the study released Wednesday by the Social IMPACT Research Center of Chicago's Heartland Alliance for Human Needs & Human Rights.
The forces behind this rising poverty in a post-recession economy go beyond unemployment, according to the study, which traces it also to an inadequate living wage and lack of access to education, housing, health care and assets.
"Illinois' 33%: Report on Illinois Poverty," is based on 2011 U.S. Census Bureau data. It declares a crisis sparing no community in Illinois, and only worsening under budget cuts to government programs and policies that alleviate poverty.
Rodney Dawkins, 46, of Lake View, is among the 33 percent.
With a high school diploma — which the study says holds little value today in wage-earning potential — Dawkins worked minimum-wage jobs all of his life, before a job loss at age 40 left him homeless.
"I lived at SROs, stayed with friends, slept in the bus or the park," he said. "I couldn't find work or afford a place."
He finally connected with an employment training program, got a restaurant job, and last year, moved into subsidized housing. But he still lives below poverty.
"I work maybe 25 hours a week, and manage my money the best way I can," he said. "Rent comes first, then lights and cellphone. But now that my CTA bus card just went up, I'm really going to have to budget my money to make it through."
The 33 percent figure is up from 25 percent of Illinoisans who lived in or near poverty in 2000. In 1990, it was 27 percent; in 1980, 26 percent.
"We wanted to get a handle on how people are recovering post-recession and to understand how things like our state's budget crisis are filtering down into communities," said report author Amy Rynell, director of the research center.
"What we learned was extraordinarily disturbing," Rynell said.
The study found that almost half of Chicago's population is living in or near poverty.
In suburban Cook and Kane counties, it's nearly a third; in DuPage, McHenry and Will counties, one out of five people, and in Lake County, one out of four.
Statewide, 31 percent of the African-American population lives in poverty, along with 22.6 percent of Latinos; 12 percent of Asians, and 11 percent of whites.
Of the state's households headed by single women, 34.3 percent live in poverty; as do 8.2 percent of senior citizens, and 20.7 percent of disabled people.
The pervasiveness makes poverty one of the most pressing social issues facing Illinois and the nation, according to the study. It offers recommendations from increasing minimum wage and the affordable housing stock to addressing issues of education, health and nutrition and financial traps intrinsic to poverty.

5B Series Overview |
5B Series Model Definitions |
Available 5B Series Modules |
5B Series Backplanes and Mounting Cards |
5B and 6B Series Power Supplies |
5B Series Accessories |
5B Series Configuration Guide |
5B Series Custom Configuration Ranges |
All Series Modules
The 5B Series represents an innovative generation of low cost, high performance plug-in signal conditioners. Designed for industrial applications, these modules incorporate highly reliable transformer-based isolation and automated surface-mount manufacturing technology. They are compact, economical components whose performance exceeds that available from more expensive devices. Combining 1500 V rms continuous isolation, ±0.05% calibrated accuracy, small size and low cost, the 5B Series is an attractive alternative to expensive signal conditioners and in-house designs.
All modules are potted and identical in pinout and size (2.27" x 2.32" x 0.595"). They can be mixed and matched, permitting users to address their exact needs, and may be "hot swapped" without disturbing field wiring or power. The isolated input modules provide 0 to +5 V or ±5 V outputs and accept J, K, T, E, R, S, N or B type thermocouples; 100 ohm platinum, 10 ohm copper and 120 ohm nickel RTDs, frequency inputs, potentiometer, slide wire, full or half bridge strain gage, 2-wire transmitter, mV, volt, 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA, and wide bandwidth (10 kHz) mV and volt signals. These modules feature complete signal conditioning functions including 240 V rms input protection, filtering, chopper stabilized low drift ±1 µV/°C amplification, 1500 V rms isolation, linearization for RTD and thermocouple (with model 5B47) inputs and sensor excitation when required. The output module converts a 0 to + 5 V or -5 V to +5 V input to an isolated 4-20 mA or 0-20 mA process current signal. All modules feature excellent common mode rejection and meet industrial transient surge withstand specifications.
There are also a number of backplanes and mounting sockets which provide a complete signal conditioning solution for end users. Each backplane incorporates screw terminals for field wiring inputs and outputs and cold junction sensors for thermocouple applications. Nineteen-inch rack compatible units that can hold up to sixteen modules are available.
These signal conditioners are designed to provide an easy and convenient solution to signal conditioning problems of both designers and end users in measurement and control applications. Typical uses include microcomputer-based measurement systems, standard data acquisition systems, programmable controllers, analog recorders and dedicated control systems. The 5B Series modules are ideally suited to applications where monitoring and control of temperature, pressure, flow, rotation and other analog signals are required.
FM, CSA and CE Approvals
The 5B Series modules and backplanes are approved by Factory Mutual (FM) and the 5B Series modules are approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C and D locations. These approvals certify that the 5B Series is suitable for use in locations where a hazardous concentration of flammable gas may exist only under fault conditions of operation. Equipment of this category is called "nonincendive" and they need no special enclosures or other physical safeguards.
The 5B Series modules and backplanes have been tested and passed the stringent heavy industrial requirements of the European Union's electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) directive - EN50082-1 and EN50081-2. When used according to installation directions (refer to 5B Series User Manual), any errors caused by EMI/RFI interference will be less than 0.1% of the full scale 5B measurement range (typical @ +25°C), for field strengths up to 10 V/M and frequencies up to 1 GHz.
Design Features and User Benefits
System Design
It is easy for system designers to apply the functionally complete 5B Series modules in their own circuit board or backplane. These modules feature a simple pinout, plug into widely available sockets and are secured with self-contained mounting screws. Other features, which can be used to minimize system interface cost, have also been incorporated in the 5B Series design. Each input module has an output switch which is controlled by a TTL-compatible enable input, eliminating the need for an external multiplexer. Each output module has a track and hold input which permits a single DAC to serve numerous current output channels. For thermocouple applications, cold junction compensation sensors are available.
Subsystem Solution
The 5B Series provides a complete signal conditioning solution. A family of backplanes, pre-calibrated plug-in modules, direct sensor interface via screw terminal connections, high level outputs, and ribbon cable system interface result in easy integration into any system. For thermocouple applications, high accuracy cold junction compensation sensing is provided on each backplane channel. A general subsystem application is outlined in Figure 1.
The 5B Series can be easily tailored to meet each user's needs. These plug-in signal conditioners can be mixed and matched to provide I/O for various process sensors and actuators. Many standard configurations of each module are available, and for added flexibility, factory laser trimmed custom units can be supplied. A wide zero suppression capability allows a user to map any portion of the input signal into the full output span permitting improved system resolution within a selected measurement range.
High Reliability
The 5B Series was designed to assure maximum reliability under real-world conditions. The modules are specified over the -25°C to +85°C temperature range. Each module is potted; there are no adjustment potentiometers which could introduce mechanical and human errors that impair system integrity. All field wiring termination, including sensor inputs, excitation and current outputs, are protected against continuous 240 V rms line voltage. This prevents a fault from damaging the module, the backplane or other devices connected to the system. The modules also provide protection against high common mode voltages and are designed to meet the standards for transient voltage protection. Gold-plated pin and socket connections are used throughout the system to ensure connection reliability.
High Performance
The high quality signal conditioning features include ±0.05% span initial accuracy, nonlinearity of only ±0.02% span, and chopper-based amplification which assures low drift (±1 µV/°C) and excellent long-term stability. Low drift sensor excitation is provided when required, and the model 5B34 RTD and model 5B47 thermocouple modules provide an output which is linear with input sensor temperature.
High Noise Rejection
The 5B Series modules were designed to accurately process low level signals in electrically noisy environments by providing 1500 V rms continuous of transformer-based isolation which eliminates ground loops, protects against transients and solves common-mode voltage problems. To further preserve signal integrity, 160 dB of common-mode rejection, 60 dB of normal mode rejection and excellent RFI/EMI immunity are provided.
Small Size
Each 5B Series module measures only 2.275" x 2.325" x 0.595" resulting in space savings for both system designers and end users: each module occupies 1.35 square inches of board space and a 16-channel backplane occupies only 3.5" in a 19" rack.

Fire damages Washington home
Firefighters work at a home on 870 West Chestnut St. in Washington Monday.
Karen Mansfield / Observer-Reporter
Order a Print
A fire caused extensive damage to a home in Washington Monday night.
Firefighters were called to the home at 870 West Chestnut St. at 7:20 p.m. and found flames shooting from the house.
The fire destroyed the basement and caused heavy damage throughout the house, according to city fire Chief Linn Brookman, who said the fire appeared to be electrical.
The home's tenants, Jesse and Jennifer Dunfee and their three children, were not at home at the time of the fire.
Jennifer Dunfee's sister, Jessica Klinzing, said a kitten inside the home did not survive.
She said firefighters salvaged some framed photos from the walls and gave them to the family.
The house is owned by Jim Stout.
North Strabane Township and Peters Township fire departments assisted at the scene, and South Strabane Township Fire Department was on standby.

The Light of Sex: Initiation, Magic, and Sacrament, by Maria de Naglowska
Translated by Donald Traxler, Forward by Hans Thomas Hakl
Inner Traditions, 9781594774157, 125 pp. (incl. appendices, notes and index), 2011
Maria de Naglowska (1883-1936) was born as Mariya Naglovskaya in St Petersburg. She left Russia for Berlin before settling in Geneva; lived in Rome, and later Paris. The rumours surrounding her fly: she may have known Rasputin, she may have had a love affair with Julius Evola, she may have been a member of this or that secret society. We do know that she was a journalist, a poet, and she has several books to her name.
Today de Naglowska may be best remembered for her "translation" of Paschal Beverly Randolph's Magia Sexualis, which, as I learned from the Donald Traxler's introduction, seems to have included much of her own material, as well as that from other sources. Though with this new translation of The Light of Sex — the first time it has appeared in English – and several other translations of her work forthcoming from Inner Traditions, her renown is likely to grow.
In Paris de Naglowska earned the nickname "La Sophiale de Montparnasse" for her teachings on "Satanism" and sex magick. Though she called herself a "Satanic woman," her views on Satanism were not based on traditional Christian mythology. She equated god with life, and Satan with the negation of life, and both aspects are a necessary part of being human. Continue reading

Growers who wanted to move fruit out of the quarantine would first have to run it through a field-cleaning machine, which removes stems and leaves, or run it through brushes and rollers in a packinghouse within the quarantine, he said.
Field cleaning machines are rare in California's Central Valley, and most were developed to handle fruit in Southern California and Arizona groves already under psyllid quarantines, he said.
Regardless of the method, the goal is to remove leaves and stems that might harbor hitchhiking psyllids before the fruit leaves the quarantine.
This requirement could pose hardships for growers used to selling mandarins into specialty markets that want leaves and stems attached, he said.
Blakely said he's hopeful the Tulare County insects were just hitchhikers on illegal plant material from Southern California, where there's an ongoing psyllid-control program and quarantine.
"What's interesting about both of these finds is they were in traps that weren't actually in trees but were on poles along a major highway where there's a lot of fruit moving back and forth," Blakely said. "There's also fruit coming up from Southern California. It's looking more like they were possibly brought into the area."
Subsequent surveys and trapping of both groves by the ag commissioner's office failed to find additional psyllids, he said.
Tulare County leads California in citrus production, with about 120,000 acres and a 2011 crop valued at more than $760 million, according to the ag commissioner's annual crop report.

Interview: Omar Offendum, Bilingual MC/Producer
June 30, 2011 by TMO · Leave a Comment
By Siddiq Ather
Omar Chakaki, better known by the name Omar Offendum, is Syrian American emcee and producer who was born in Saudi Arabia but was raised in the United States. He raps in both English and Arabic comfortably about a vast range of issues and ideas. He has been featured on BBC, ABC news, Aljazeera, and other news sources. His most recent album is titled SyrianamericanA. He has performed around the world with a variety of famous artists. Occasionally, he starts his performances with an Arabic rendition of a work by the poet Langston Hughes
1. Do Hip Hop and Islam fit well with each other, or is there a clash?
I never saw a clash between the two. In Islam innamal a'amaalu biniyaat, actions are based on intentions. So if you have good intentions to affect positive change through Hip Hop, another art form, or whatever, then, I believe insha'allah, it is compatible. If you have intentions of spread negativity, promiscuity, or misogyny etc, then, obviously, that is not compatible.
I understand there is a scholarly debate as far as music in Islam. I tend to fall in line with those do not believe it is haraam, citing the importance of intentions. If it doesn't distract you from the demands of the Muslim faith, like praying, then, there isn't anything wrong with it, especially if it is positive. I understand that it does distract a lot of people, and Hip Hop in particular can be a tool to spread negativity. But it's a tool like anything else, so it's how you use it.
I know a lot of spoken word artists, and I don't see how you could ever say something like that is haraam. At times I perform without music. I have been at events were people are uncomfortable with music, so I performed without it. I'm sensitive to that. I take time with my lyrics and make sure it is something I can do with or without music. That's where I kind of stand on it.
Some people may say kaafir, haraam, judge, and use apocalyptic language after they hear a Muslim performing with music, but I question the intentions of those people. In the end of the day, there are haters out there and haters gon' hate. I do this with positive intentions Insha'Allah.
2. There are a lot of Muslim performers: emcees, poets, rappers, singers, b-girls, beat boxers, and others. What are your thoughts on this phenomenon? As far as Muslim culture, and Arab culture, goes, there is a hesitation and apprehension surrounding even the idea of Muslim females on stage.
Well, I think it is a beautiful thing, and I encourage it, especially if they're doing it positively. I welcome it, I embrace it, and I hope to see more of it because they're inspiring to other women who think there is something wrong with that, when I, personally, don't think there is. Many good friends of mine are Muslim female Emcees. The best example that comes to mind is Poetic Pilgrimage: two very confident sisters from the UK of African-Caribbean decent. They wear hijab and practice Islam to the best of their ability, and you can see it reflected in their lyrics. I think what they're doing is very positive, and I encourage it.
As far as Arab culture, Shaadia Mansour, she is not Muslim; she's Arab, but faces similar sentiment. Our community looks down on woman who are on stage, performing. In my opinion her heart is in the right place and has the best intentions. I think, especially with her, as far as the Palestinian cause is concerned, she's such an important voice to put out there; it's a different faith for the world to see, that it's not just a bunch of angry men that are rapping about something. It really changes the dynamic.
3. A lot of your lyrics carry a heavy weight, since they have some political or historical background. Do you think music and lyrics have to have something behind them, some motive, or can it just be open expression?
I think it has to be honest self expression at the end of the day. In hip-hop we have the saying "keepin' it real." If you're not "keepin' it real"; If you're not being true to yourself, true to your history, true to your background, then, I, personally, am not that into it. But, that doesn't mean it has to be political, it can be anything. If you're skillful with your art, I have to respect that. I don't go out of my way to be political. We live in a politicized world. Being a young Arab American Muslim, it happens to affect me deeply, and so I speak about it. I also used to translate Arabic poetry to English and English poetry to Arabic. That is a more relevant to my experience.
4. How much of a difference can hip hop make without actual political change, or do you think this is the medium through which political change can occur?
I think it is a tool. It can spark dialogue, debate and awareness about issues in communities where there is none: locally, nationally, and internationally. When an artist is as successful as Lupe Fiasco (Wasalu Muhammad Jaco) says what he said about Gaza getting bombed in a particular song, it is a really really big deal. That album sold hundreds of thousands in the first week. It is extremely important. However, it is not going to stop the bombing in Gaza. No, it's not going to fix the issue. In my case, I see the medium as the message. People see a young Muslim American Arab rapping on stage, comfortable in both languages. There's a lot behind that, that I don't' even need to say. They can infer from it.
5. There are a variety of sheikhs out there, maybe you've heard names like Suhaib Webb and Hamza Yusuf. There are also many books, so are there any inspirational books you've read or scholars you really look up to?
I have actually met Sheikh Suhaib several times. He's a great inspiration, masha'allah. I grew into my Muslim American Identity. I went to an Islamic School growing up, it was a Saudi Islamic School based in Alexandria, Virginia, mostly set up for students with family back in the Middle East who worked in the embassy. We had the Saudi Arabian curriculum coupled with the local county curriculum. It essentially for people intending to move back to the Middle East, and so they didn't really establish the Muslim-American identity, and that was something that took me years to understand and really, kind of, be at peace with.
Hearing people like Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, Suhaib Webb, and Zaid Shakir speak are very inspirational to me. Sheikh Yassir Fazaga is also from southern California. I really, really, really enjoy his khutbahs. Some of the most inspirational one I have ever heard were from him. But Islam aside, reading books by authors like Edward Said, and novels by men like Amin Maalouf have greatly influenced me. Also included are emcees and reggae singers of all sorts. A number of old Arabic singers and poets: Khalil jibran, and darwish. All of this influences me, and I think you can see it in my music because I try to make it an honest reflection of me.
