Posts tagged 'M5 maintenance'
DIY Could Have Saved This Guy
I read a very sad and ironic story on the M5Board this week. A guy named Tom Ranck had owned his 2000 M5 since new, and had driven it for 276,000. Roundel, the magazine of the BMW Car Club of America, ran a profile piece on Tom and his car in this month's November issue. The same week the article came out, Tom had an accident and sold his damaged M5.
Here's the M5Board thread in which Tom explains what happened.
The accident had nothing to do with DIY maintenance. But in the article Tom talks about the high expense involved with maintaining his M5 at his local BMW dealership. He had numerous issues and tells Roundel he wishes he sold the car way back at 80K miles.
Had he done just a little of this work himself, or went to an independent mechanic rather than the dealer, he could have saved a lot of money. Then maybe he would not have hit the breaking point after the accident, and could have spent the money needed to repair the damage above.
Conjecture I know, and to each his own of course. This kind of ending just seems a shame after over a decade owning an incredible — albeit high maintenance — vehicle.
Replacing Oxygen Sensors on an E39 M5
As I've stated many times on this blog, when you own a BMW out of warranty you need to learn up on maintenance. With some research and a little effort, you can literally save hundreds of dollars on relatively simple maintenance issues.
A good example is how I recently replaced oxygen sensors on my 2002 M5. The dreaded Service Engine Soon (also known as CEL for check engine light) display had lit up on my dashboard. My code reader told me it was the left O2 sensor in front of the catalytic converter. The E39 M5 has four sensors, two pre and two post cat. So I decided it was best to replace both front sensors.
You can save big on parts before you ever touch a wrench. The best price I could find from BMW for the sensors was $206 each. A little searching on the M5Board revealed many many owners had purchased the same exact Bosch sensor from Amazon for around $50. A really good tutorial from BimmerDIY was also very helpful.
So right off the bat, two Bosch 13477 sensors cost me $100, rather than $400.
Installation took me less than an hour, and I was working very slowly and carefully. I had also purchased the open 22mm. socket from Amazon to remove the oxygen sensors themselves. The sensors plugged into a small black box on the underside of the car, held in place by two 10mm. bolts. There were two boxes, each containing pre and post sensors on that side of the car.
As usual, my repair was made much easier thanks to my friends at Hollin Hall Automotive lending me access to a lift. While the car was in the air, I replaced the right front plastic underbody piece I had stupidly banged up by brushing against a curb. It was one of those "hard to see but I know its there" type of repairs, and I knew it would be easy to replace.
The swap was somewhat complicated by the fact that the outside temperature gauge connected into that underbody piece. I was careful with the connector and I closed off the opening with some duct tape.
I'd estimate that dealers would definitely would charge two hours of labor for this job, maybe even more. At $125 per hour, that's at least $250 labor and the dealer parts cost of $400. So total of $650, vs. $100 for the sensors and my time on a Saturday morning.
So doing this job myself saved around $550. The DIY satisfaction was priceless.

-Great location -Burst water pipe affecting stay was well managed and communicated
-Wifi didn't work -balconies of rooms had shower curtains separating them
My girlfriend and I stayed the night here to see a Magic game and goo downtown Orlando. The location was perfect, centralized around all of downtown Orlando. The bed was also incredibly comfortable. I would highly recommend this place.
Loved the location, downtown, close to Lake Eola, nice tree-lined streets, and a Panera downstairs.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable. BTW it is by no means a 'spa' it has a small deck with a hot tub on the 2nd floor and looks like they have or used to have a masseuse at one point.
perfect location downtown, very close to Lake Eola park
The location is great, the bed was extremely comfortable and it was really nice to have a semi-private balcony. I didn't try to Jacuzzi but in cooler months I'm sure it's great. The staff wasn't bad at all but not very attentive or helpful either.
The general lack of attention to detail. The Wi-Fi network was extremely poor and I had to fall back on the Panera network. Parts of the bathroom seemed either unfinished or in disrepair and the air conditioning (a large unit below the window) was far too clunky, loud and hard to adjust for a hotel of this apparent caliber. The lighting in the room was particularly bad with blinding white CFL bulbs (soft white CFL bulbs exist and are much more appropriate for a hotel room). The few plugs available were too far from the bedside to easily charge a phone or laptop and there was no proper desk, only a fold-out desktop in front of the TV stand. Parking was a little tight too with unclear signaling as to wether it was permitted to park along the fence when the few spots were full. Overall it was a decent stay but other than for the location, it was hard to justify the expense.
My room was very nice...clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was comfy and the balcony was pretty and private. The rooftop patio was beautiful as well. Nice artwork on the walls throughout the inn. A nice relaxing spa atmosphere. I will definitely stay here again!
The quiet The spa The smallness of it. cute and Cozy Panera The Park the beds
Small room- not a lot of space to put your stuff in the bathroom WIFI- usually wasn't working ( VERY IMPORTANT) I almost went and stayed somewhere else because of it. But the staff was trying so hard to get it fixed for me. that I stayed and went down to panera to use theirs. Coffee was either out of water or out of coffee. I think you should cross sell your spa serviices..if someone had just asked me if I was interested I would have made an appointment.
good hotel nice location just by the eola lake good for downtown access.
Nice room and bath. Convenient breakfast at the café in the ground floor.
Wifi worked but the connetion to Internet failed totally. The rooms facing the trafic need soundproofing.
The balconies, people watching and relaxing atmosphere
There was no water in the vending machine (all out).
Location was ideal. Although the balcony was shared and the view was only of trees, it was still nice.
The hot tub was way too hot. Scalding, actually. Couldn't find the gauge to turn it down so we couldn't use it.
The hotel occupies an excellent location right on picturesque Lake Eola and the nice Thornton Park neighbourhood. Check in is through the spa reception at the back of the building, which may seem a little odd at first but was pretty painless. Our room was plain but nice enough and pretty spacious, with a balcony providing some outdoor space. The balcony runs the length of the building so is was shared across the other rooms, however there are curtains which can divide this of should you want to spend time out there in private. There is an outdoor hot tub, wifi, parking and a Panera Bread bakery downstairs for those of you who like a pastry, coffee, soup, sandwich etc! Very handy for breakfast. Wouldn't hesitate to go back next time I am in the area.
Its a slightly confusing set up with the layout of common areas and rooms i.e. treatment and bedrooms next to each other. No massive deal though.
The facility was lovely . The room and bath were very nice. The porch off the room was a nice surprise and I enjoyed it very much. The parking was convenient and so was having Panera so close!
The air conditioner was very noisy and the bed was too soft.
Room was nothing like the pictures. Clumps of mud on the floor in my room as well as curly black hairs on the sink and towels in the bathroom. Room was on the corner of the building and corner of two very busy streets where all night sirens, traffic and drunk pedestrians kept me awake all night. Not to mention the inability of the shades to keep the street light out. It was so bright, I could even read with the lights out. Room was priced at $279 night and I expected a much nicer, same as picture on website room and I was extremely dissatisfied. Very poor representation.
Nice location by the lake. Nice veranda to lounge on. Spa was good. Front desk was very nice and helpful.
WIne and Food fair going on around the lake. At least is shut down at 9 pm altho started early. We had to leave the area for activity on Saturday day. Staging for fest was right under our window. A little noisey in the other rooms.
Lovely small hotel next to park and well located. Casual dinning available in the building. We would return in our next trip to the area
Would have liked the front desk with staff rather than coded door. It was just a small inconvenience.
Clean, great location. Really great location. If location is important, this is a good place to stay.
Room was a bit small, but there was only one of me so it was fine.

Here's a recipe from Allison that makes a great sandwich stuffer or appetizer:
Save The Tuna Salad
2 cans (30 oz) garbanzo beans, drained
1/4 cup red onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 cup dill pickle, finely chopped
2 tablespoons nori seaweed flakes (you can grind sheets of nori in a spice mill for this)
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground
12 slices of bread, lightly toasted
6 large, crisp lettuce leaves
12 fresh tomato slices
1. In a large bowl, mash the garbanzo beans with a potato masher or the back of afork.
2. Fold the onion, celery, garlic, pickle, nori, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepperinto the garbanzo beans. Combine thoroughly.
3. Lightly toast the bread. Spread the salad on one slice and stack with a lettuce leaf, two tomato slices, and another slice of bread. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.
Note: This recipe is great as an appetizer: small spoonfuls of vegan tuna on gluten-free rice crackers, garnished with halved cherry tomatoes.
What's your favorite summer snack?

Censorship by country | ||
Countries | ||
See also | ||
Banned books are books to which free access is not permitted. The practice of banning books is a form of censorship, from political, religious, moral, or (less often) commercial motives. This page intends to list alphabetically all known banned books, giving a brief context for each.
Such a large number of banned books has led publishers becoming specialized in them. The best-known examples are the Parisian Obelisk Press, which published Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer, and Olympia Press, which published William Burroughs's Naked Lunch. Both of these, the work of father Jack Kahane and son Maurice Girodias, specialized in English-language books which were prohibited, at the time, in Great Britain and the United States. Ruedo Ibérico, also located in Paris, specialized in books prohibited in Spain during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Russian literature prohibited during the Soviet period was published outside of Russia.
Books are still banned today. Nowhere can everything be published, although the prohibitions vary strikingly from one country to another: hate speech, for example, is prohibited in several countries, such as Sweden, though legal in the United States, where the only prohibition is on child pornography. Some believe that the banning of specific books is appropriate, such as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in Russia, or Hitler's Mein Kampf, in Germany. In general, censorship would not exist if it did not have at least partial public support.
At the local level, books have been and still are banned by schools and public libraries. This is usually the result of complaints from parents, who find particular books not appropriate for their children. In many libraries, including the British Library and the Library of Congress, erotic books are housed in separate collections which require special application.[1] Libraries sometimes avoid purchasing controversial books, and the personal opinions of librarians have at times impacted book selection.
Title | Author | Type | Description of the case(s) |
About a Silence in Literature | Živorad Stojković | Essay | Banned in Yugoslavia by court order in 1951.[2] |
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) | Lewis Carroll | Children's novel/adventure | Formerly banned in the province of Hunan, China, beginning in 1931, for its portrayal of anthropomorphized animals acting on the same level of complexity as human beings. The censor General Ho Chien believed that attributing human language to animals was an insult to humans. He feared that the book would teach children to regard humans and animals on the same level, which would be "disastrous".[3] |
All Quiet on the Western Front (1929) | Erich Maria Remarque | Anti-war novel | Banned in Nazi Germany for being demoralizing and insulting to the Wehrmacht.[4] |
American Psycho (1991) | Bret Easton Ellis | Novel | Sale and purchase was banned in the Australian State of Queensland. Now available in public libraries and for sale to people 18 years and older. Sale restricted to persons at least 18 years old in the other Australian states.[5] |
An Area of Darkness (1964) | V. S. Naipaul | Travelogue | Banned in India for its negative portrayal of India and its people.[6] |
Angaray (1932) | Sajjad Zaheer | Progressive short stories | Banned in India in 1936 by the British government.[7] |
The Anarchist Cookbook (1971) | William Powell | Instructional | Banned in Australia.[8] |
Animal Farm (1945) | George Orwell | Political novella | Completed in 1943, Orwell found that no publisher would print the book, due to its criticism of the U.S.S.R., an important ally of Britain in the War.[9] Once published, the book was banned in the USSR and other communist countries.[10] A play of Animal Farm was banned in Kenya in 1991, because it criticizes corrupt leaders.[11] In 2002, the novel was banned in the schools of the United Arab Emirates, because it contained text or images that goes against Islamic values, most notably the occurrence of an anthropomorphic, talking pig.[11] The book is still banned in Cuba and North Korea, and censored in China and Vietnam.[12] |
Areopagitica (1644) | John Milton | Essay | Banned in the Kingdom of England for political reasons.[13] |
Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism (2008) | Ha-Joon Chang | Non-fiction | One of 23 books from Aug 1st 2008 Banned for distribution in South Korean military.[14] |
The Bible | Jewish and Christian | Religious text | Censored in dozens of countries, both historically and in the current era. At present, the Bible is banned or greatly restricted in a number of countries[15] including North Korea.[16] Sometimes, the ban is on distributing the Bible in certain languages or versions. The Bible in Spanish was prohibited in Spain from the sixteenth until the nineteenth century.[17] In 1234, King James I of Aragon ordered the burning of Bibles in the vernacular.[18] |
Big River, Big Sea — Untold Stories of 1949 (2009) | Lung Ying-tai | Non-fiction | It sold over 100,000 copies in Taiwan and 10,000 in Hong Kong in its first month of release, but discussion of her work was banned in mainland China following the book launch.[19] |
Borstal Boy (1958) | Brendan Behan | Autobiographical novel | Banned in Ireland in 1958. The Irish Censorship of Publications Board was not obliged to reveal its reason but it is believed that it was rejected for its critique of Irish republicanism and the Catholic Church, and its depiction of adolescent sexuality. It was banned in Australia and New Zealand shortly after. It was allowed to be published in New Zealand in 1963.[20] |
The Boys (2012) | Garth Ennis | Comic book series | Banned in Qatar in 2012.[21] |
Brave New World (1932) | Aldous Huxley | Novel | Banned in Ireland in 1932, allegedly because of references of sexual promiscuity.[22] Banned in Australia from 1932 to 1937.[8] |
Burger's Daughter (1979) | Nadine Gordimer | Novel | Banned in South Africa in July, 1979 for going against the government's racial policies; the ban was reversed in October of the same year.[11] |

You're usually lucky if you find some half-decent cookware at a garage sale. The Cellar Rat's fifth annual Garage Sale at 9 a.m. tomorrow, however, isn't an ordinary sale.
The Crossroads wine and sundries shop at 1701 Baltimore will have more than 200 cases of deeply discounted wine from high-end and small-batch producers. This is your chance to stock your wine cellar or rack and get some great deals on some heavy-duty wines.
The idea for the garage sale was an accident, according to owner Ryan Sciara. He received a closeout list and began circling what he wanted.
"Before I knew it, I had circled 150 cases. I said I'll take them, but I need to figure this out," Sciara says.
The garage sale was born, and today, Sciara has established relationships with several distributors and wineries. As to the 87 different wines in the sale, he has promised his contacts that he won't advertise specific wineries, but there are bottles of everything from dessert wine to Chotes du Rhone to small Napa Valley producers. Also, he prints out a small card with information about the wineries and any tasting notes or unusual facts about the specific vintages for sale.
"Wine is an agricultural product, meaning it needs to be sold. This is a chance for people to get excited about wine and get some great deals," Sciara says.
He notes that most people start in the back room, which is where the imports (Sauternes among them) are typically found in smaller quantities. And one customer has already promised to take a tent. While he doesn't intend to camp out, he wants people to think he did. Sciara is amused by the dedication of his regulars and the timing of Trader Joe's two store openings.
"People are so excited by three-dollar wine, but when you think about the cost of the cork and the bottle and the label and the harvesting of the grapes, there's nothing in that juice," Sciara says.
The garage sale starts at 9 a.m. and runs until Cellar Rat sells out. Sciara expects that he'll be sleeping at his Crossroads wine shop overnight (sans tent) for the second year in a row.
"I kissed my wife and two daughters goodbye this morning and told them I'd see them Sunday," Sciara says.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, are collaborating on a five-year, $4.6 million federally funded project to advance physical access and public transportation for people with disabilities by bringing together computer science technology and the principles of universal design.The Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Accessible Public Transportation has received a new grant from the U.S. Department of Education's National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) that extends the existing five-year grant that concludes this year.The center will develop ways to empower consumers, manufacturers and service providers in the design and evaluation of accessible transportation equipment, information services and physical environments.The center's principal investigator, Aaron Steinfeld, an associate research professor at Carnegie Mellon's Robotics Institute, works on human-robot interaction and intelligent transportation systems in the Quality of Life Technology (QoLT) Center, headquartered at Carnegie Mellon.Steinfeld will co-direct the center with his father, Edward Steinfeld, a professor of architecture at the University at Buffalo who heads the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access (IDeA). The IDeA Center improves the design of environments and products by making them more usable, safe and appealing to people with a wide range of abilities. The center is a world leader in universal design, an important component of the new RERC's work."Universal design is a human-centered approach to design and business practices focused on creating a more convenient, comfortable, healthier and safer environment for everyone," Edward Steinfeld said. "It extends the lessons learned in design for disability to all riders, recognizing that the transportation environment presents challenges for all. It not only increases social integration for people who have physical and mental challenges but, by doing so, reduces costs by removing the burden of providing special services, facilities and products."Researchers at Carnegie Mellon will use Tiramisu Transit, an app developed under the prior RERC, to understand how real-time trip information and community dialogue can empower accessible travel. Buffalo researchers will continue design research to make boarding and disembarking buses faster, safer and more accessible.Another project will leverage existing technologies supported by the Traffic21 program at Carnegie Mellon to develop software systems to help riders during multi-modal trips. Collaborations with industry also are planned, continuing the team's prior work on vehicle designs with Gillig Corp. and starting a new effort with the Dallas Smith Corp. The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority in Buffalo, N.Y., and the Port Authority of Allegheny County in Pittsburgh continue to assist the researchers as they develop new technologies and concepts.For more information on the RERC on Accessible Public Transportation, see http://www.rercapt.org/.

Iraq Diary
| Fri Jan. 5, 2007 12:20 PM EST
Juan Cole this morning links to a very upsetting document he found at the British Library. It is the diary of Saad Eskander, director of the Iraq National Library and Archive.
An entry:
It is another bad week for the NLA.
On Sunday, I learnt that Ahmed Salih, who was on leave, was murdered by a Death Squad in his own house. Ahmed came from a poor family. After his father's death, he raised his younger brothers and sisters. He worked very hard to educate them. I also learnt that Ahmed was engaged to a girl two weeks before his death.
On Monday, I received more bad news. The older brother of Maiadah, who works in the Periodical Department, was murdered by a group of terrorists.
I learnt that some sniper fired at a car in the Republican Street, killing the driver and all the passengers.
It was a Christmas period and the security situation was as bad as ever. We have four Christians in our institution. The first two, 'A' and 'B', work in the Archive, the third, 'C', in the Library, and the fourth, 'D', in my office. I gave them 5 day-break to celebrate Christmas. 'D' took just one day off. She continued to show up, even when the main roads were blocked. I advised her to cover her hair, when passing through dangerous areas (i.e. under the control of the militias and armed gangs). She said that she was wearing Hijab for some time to hide her identity (i.e. being Christian).

The MIDI sound playback is not stopped if the MIDlet is moved to the background. If the Application key is pressed while the MIDlet is running, the MIDlet is left in the background. If a MIDI sound has been playing, it continues playing even if the MIDlet is not visible. There seems to be no easy way to track if any of the Displayables are visible or not.
This problem exists in Screens such as Form and List, but not in Canvas. In Canvas it is easy to track whether the Canvas is visible or not by using the hideNotify() and showNotify() methods. Such methods don't exist for Screens.

COLLEGE COACH: PREVIEW Q&A's
College Preview | Top 144 Previews | More Interviews
By Shawn Siegel
July 31st, 2006
James Madison Q&A: Dean Keener
A promising season turned sour quickly, as James Madison struggled to a 5-23 record. But an impressive group of sophomores and a host of incoming players gives head coach Dean Keener and the Dukes hope for the future.
Collegehoops.net: Discuss all the incoming players for a bit. Who will make the biggest impact? Dean Keener: We will have six newcomers - 4 freshmen, 1 junior college transfer and 1 four-year transfer. It's hard to predict the future with freshman. Terrance Carter was a JUCO All-American at Southeaster CC and has a chance to be an impact player for us.
CHN: How will you deal with the graduation of the seniors?
DK: We lost 3 seniors. No one person will replace that experience, but our sophomore group is primed to become very good - Juwann James, Kyle Swanston, Joe Posey, Lew Lampley and Colbey Santos.
CHN: What do you expect the strengths and weaknesses of this year's team to be?
DK: The strength of this years team will be versatility. We will also have big guards/wings relative to our league. A weakness will be senior leadership. We will not have a senior on roster.
CHN: Talk for a moment about which of your guys deserve more credit for working hard in practice, in the workout room, and being leaders off the court:
DK: Juwann James was the CAA Rookie of the year. He is a very optimistic player. Kyle Swanston is one of our hardest workers and should have a breakout year.
CHN: What coaches have helped you reach the level of success you're at today? DK: I have been fortunate to play and work for many great coaches. My high school coach, Jim Maddox, was the first to play a role in my basketball development. Other such as George Raveling, Bill Foster and Paul Hewitt really touched my way of thinking.
CHN: What type of goals have you set for this season?
DK: As we continue to build this program, we look forward to good things. We are excited about the foundation that has been laid and hope for good year.
CHN: Thanks for your time Dean.

That type of lid is going to be better than riding with just a regular beanie. That is for sure. Not all helmets are certified to a safety standard either. So it is something to look for. Last edited by killclimbz; 06-17-2011 at 12:43 PM. |

It does smell that way a little. Though I had read about these new caps with the shock absorbent material. From what I've gathered they do add protection. Probably pretty good for blunt strikes. Like on the ice, or maybe a rail. If you tumble in rocks, not so sure. There are times when I'd rather not lug my helmet around or forget it. Something like this could be a good thing to have in your bag.

How dare anyone suggest that something might be as effective as a helmet. Why, they must be spammers.
If I were spamming something, I probably would have posted one of the many shovel test videos posted by people testing it out. Or maybe I would have mentioned how d3o gear is used by the olympic ski teams. Or maybe I should have mentioned my *ahem* extensive on-mountain impact testing. But hey, some guys on the internet who have never seen or used anything made out of the stuff are clearly the experts here. |

That being said, I have used both a skate helmet (old school Protec) and a 'ski' helmet while snowboarding. The ski helmets have superior workmanship and offer nicer features than the skateboard/bicycle helmets. Also, the ski helmets are usually designed with the context of a ski-snowboard accident in mind (base of the skull is protected, ears are covered, compressed styrofoam for high energy impact and ventilation is only a secondary concern since it is cold outside. The best way to figure out what you like is to spend some time in different helmets. My skate helmet does double duty as a bicycle/whitewater rafting helmet. No way would I take my smith variant out in summer conditions... my sweat would destroy it within one or two seasons |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former police lieutenant videotaped punching a woman after last year's Puerto Rican Day parade in Philadelphia has been acquitted of simple assault.
A municipal judge ruled Tuesday in the case of Jonathan Josey, who was later fired.
Video posted online showed the woman being struck in the face and falling to the ground, her face bloodied, and then being led away in handcuffs.
Police say people had been throwing liquid at officers. Josey testified he thought Guzman had thrown beer on him. He says he told her to put down the bottle and then swung in an attempt to knock it from her hand.
District Attorney Seth Williams says he disagrees with the judge's ruling. A message left for Josey's attorney was not immediately returned.

Kendall Conrad Spring 2013 Accessories and Bags
California Dreaming: Kendall Conrad's Gorgeous Seaside-Inspired Accessories
If Kendall Conrad's eponymous accessories line makes a strong case for seaside living, it's really no wonder. As the California native and current Santa Barbara resident puts it, "the beach is a part of my DNA."
It's a DNA that comes across quite nicely in the designer's Spring 2013 collection of handbags, small leather goods, brass jewelry, and flat sandals. In a sun-bleached palette of seagrass, sand, mussel shell, driftwood, bone, cypress bark, and aloe, and with style names like Narcisa, Azucena, and Cincha, these pieces just can't help but evoke the salt-and-sand spirit of the beach.
But that's not to say these pieces are wild by any means. Nope, their real appeal is their simplicity, and it's a refined sort of elegance that Conrad has worked hard to achieve. "I would never make anything that I did not want to wear myself. I design what I want to wear in my own life. The accessories I am drawn to have clean lines, no logos, and usually come in a natural color palette," she explains. "My handbags are unfussy and need to be functional because I love beautiful things but I am pragmatist at heart. I don't believe the two need to be mutually exclusive."
A selection of Kendall Conrad's Spring 2013 pieces, here in the gallery.

Product Data
Ladies: | Yes |
Customized Fit
A lightweight, super-comfortable butterfly closure at the back of the elastic chest band is fully adjustable, allowing for multi-cup sizing, easy on and off and full range of motion. The straps are also adjustable for a customized fit.
Ultra-High Support
Two-part molded cups with spacer mesh offer shaping and ultra-high support. The straps feature built-in stabilizers for reduced stretch, lending extra support and less bounce.
Stay Dry
Dri-FIT jersey fabric helps you stay dry and comfortable by wicking sweat away from skin to the fabric's surface, where it quickly evaporates. Dri-FIT mesh at the upper back and inner center-front lining delivers excellent ventilation in these high heat areas.
About Sports Bras & Underwear
Sports bras are an essential item of clothing for women when exercising, there are many long term benefits. Surprisingly recent statistics found that a large percentage of women who exercise regularly do not wear a sports bra. Breasts have no muscle so when you exercise, your breasts move putting strain on the ligaments, this can stretch them causing long term sagging. Wearing a sports bra can help to prevent sagging and pain. Investment in a good sports bra can reap in the benefits of looking good as well as being fit and healthy.
About the Nike brand
Nike Running is a company founded in 1972 in Oregon, USA by runners, for runners, Nike revolutionised the concept of cushioning in shoes with it's patented 'Air' technology in 1979, and some of the most famous running shoes ever have featured the famous Swoosh logo, including the iconic Nike Air Pegasus.
As part of an ongoing quest for innovation and improving the experience for runners at every level, the brand launched Nike Plus in 2006. This allows real-time tracking of data during runs which is then stored as an online log, with each member becoming part of a global running community. Initially launched to be compatible with the Apple ipod nano for runners who love music, it was extended in 2008 to include the Nike Plus Sportband for runners who chose to move without music.
Nike started as a running company and in the words of one of the company's earliest print advertisements. 'There is no Finish Line...'

How to measure chest band size Measure directly under the breasts, holding the measuring tape fairly tightly and parallel to the floor. Round the number down for fractions of an inch of .75 or less. (For example, if the measurement is 29.75", round down to 29". If the measurement is an odd number, add five inches to get your chest band size. If the measurement is an even number, add four inches to get your chest band size. (For example, 29" + 5" = 34" chest band size.) Repeat the process to ensure accuracy.

Affluenza: Blame your rich parents
As a self-professed fan of the English language, I like to think I stay hip with our ever-evolving lingo, but I learned a new vocabulary word this week. It came to my attention during a news story about a 16-year-old boy in Texas who, as part of his defense in a drunk driving case, claimed he suffered from a condition called affluenza, or poor-little-rich-kid syndrome.
