Questions about the quality/strength of our CSL wheels? READ HERE
Hey guys, we get a lot of questions about the quality of our CSL wheels, and one of our customers just contacted us to let us know his opinion. Check it out...
"Ever since getting the CSL replica wheel and tire combo, I have been tracking the car VERY heavily. I have gone through 3 sets of tires, and the wheels have been in multiple high and low speed collisions. One impact in particular was at 45mph going into a 6+ inch cement curb and hitting both front wheels at that speed + popping the tires. I am just amazed by the quality of the wheels, they have held up extremely well with all this abuse, and while my stock 16" wheels actually BENT at even slower impacts, these have held up and only show signs of a basic "curb rash" rather than deformation. I went through 3 sets of front wheel bearings and every single front control arm bushing is destroyed, while the rims are not even bent."
I can stand behind this review 100% since I've had the wheels on my own car.
Just to give you guys a heads up, we have both 18" and 19" wheels in stock right now :thumbsup:
damn what are those things made out of? good to hear, good to hear
how much do they weigh?
that's good to know..
i bought a set from Mike.. great stuff.. :thumbsup:
Free bump for you...
I can understand the sentiment. The wheel and tire combo(18inch staggered) is lighter or about the same weight as my stock style 119 wheel tire combo. The wheel is TOUGH and the finish is STILL as good as day 1. (I use wheelwax 2x per yr). I have a little wheel rash though. I am more than impressed with them. And consider the price for all this............damn good deal
If I have ANY complaints about VM or Mike it would be that the BMW decals for the wheel caps BACK THEN did not meet my standards. I never used them and I actually like the look of the VM caps.
Hey Mike, great to hear about the quality of those wheels since it's been on my future mod list and I've been checking those out for quite some time.
I just have on question, if I get the rims staggered, will the rear rims have the beveled in effect like the OEM CSL's on the M3's since they are wider? I don't know if I'm explaining it correctly but if you at the M3 CSL's the rears look a bit different than the fronts because they're wider.
Great wheels !!!!!
bump :bump:
Yea, those are some nice wheels.
Yup... no complaints. Something banged my rear wheel pretty good and took some of the finish off... there is so much damn road construction around here :banghead: (and no it wasn't a curb). I've tracked mine, hit all sorts of pot holes and still are good. Now the wheel is sitting in my garage waiting for my paint to dry. I cant wait to finish it up so I can put them back on my car! :thumbsup:
18 inches staggered non-M fitment
thanks again Mike, Great wheels!!!:pimpin:
18x9.5 - 24.4 lbs
19x8.5 - 24.75 lbs
19x9.5 - 25.25 lbs
The above weights are for the silver finish. The hyperblack is a more involved finish with more coats to get the unique look, and weighs slightly more (will have official weights soon)
The wheels now use OEM BMW centercaps (can take them off your original wheels) or we include them for $5 per cap
Good stuff
Great to know...Hopefully you guys will make some 18" CSL's in hyperblack soon.
What suspension set-up do you have?
i'm on bilstein pss coilovers, dropped to the lowest setting.. :cry:

Unemployment benefit applications jump to 399,000
Applications for weekly unemployment benefits spiked last week, largely because companies let go of thousands of workers after the holiday season. Economists said such a jump is typical in early January and downplayed the increase. Weekly applications rose by 24,000 to a seasonally adjusted 399,000, the Labor Department said today. That's the highest level in six weeks.

For some reason, the Republican Party of the United States of America has a plethora of candidates who possess some extraordinary connection with the Big Guy up in the sky. Several years ago a former Governor of the great state of Texas got on his knees and prayed to God who informed him of the necessity of wiping out Saddam Hussein and restoring God to the benighted people of Iraq. Thank God that another emissary from God is now seeking the Republican nomination for president of the United States.
Governor Rick Perry was instructed by God himself to place his name in the pool of men and women seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency. Of course, Michele Bachmann's name is already in the mix. I wonder how God will now handle the daily demands of Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry for aid in their quest to become president. Rick already has insisted God provide rain to the state of Texas, and he wants God to wipe out those illegal immigrants who seek to cross the border into the promised land of America.
Thank God the Muslim Barack Obama is not seeking aid and assistance from the Christian God who reigns on above. I assume Obama makes request from Allah, but from the Rick Perry view that is all to the good since no Allah can compete with the Christian God. With God on his side, Rick will move on to victory. First, he becomes president, and then American troops head for Tibet or Nepal or somewhere in order to bring the word of God to those people. Thank God for Rick Perry.

Window a/c question
Would it be acceptable to remove the temperature activated valve (plug) on the condensate drain pan. Once this has been removed, I will seal it up so the condensate it still contained. This cost of this part is close to the value of the actual unit itself.
And how is it going to drain if you do that?
Sounds like the pan will just fill up and over flow inside.
Never saw one of those all the ones I have seen are rubber that you can remove to drain it...but they say to leave it in place because as you say it uses the water to throw on the coil.
Only purpose I could see would be to let the unit drain completely when it was very cold and there was a possibility of freezing.
This unit has heat so perhaps freezing is a valid concern.
My problem is the plug has failed and the cost of the replacement is excessive.
Perhaps a temporary plug is in order.
Why do you want to remove it?
The plug has failed. I do not want to replace it.
Is this a heat pump or electric resistance? Sorry about the questions.
I would put a temporary plug in there because you want the slinger ring to throw the water against the condenser coil to cool it off. Plus you don't have that dripping all over the place.
I haven't worked with window units in many years so I am a little out of touch with todays technology with small units.

Cleansers, exfoliators, moisturizers, masks: It's a wonder a single pimple ever makes it past our skincare gauntlet. But when breakouts do break through (and oh, they do), we step up our skincare game with this zit-zapping treatment. It goes deep into skin to prevent future blemishes and minimize current ones, so we can easily show those breakouts who's boss.
The packaging on this item is nothing to write home about, but it is a "Dr." brand so that is to be expected. I have used it for several days and have noticed a positive change. There is noticeable "dirt" left on the cotton ball and I have had fewer breakouts. I hope this continues as I have been experiencing stress related breakouts for a while. It is a leave-on product and doesn't sting or leave skin feeling oily or sticky after use. I would recommend this for those who have mild acne.4
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this product! I have seen a dramatic difference in my skin since starting this product a few weeks ago. I LOVE how when you wipe it on your face you get that tingly feeling - makes your face feel SUPER clean! l have definitely seen a difference in the breakouts l DID have, they have almost diminished. The last lingering cystic pimple is almost gone. l would definitely recommend this product to friends and family.5
I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now in conjunction with the Blemishes No More cleanser. After about three days my skin looked brighter and softer and my blemishes started going down. Since then they have continued to go down. I use these both in the AM and PM like they recommend. I have tried tons of acne products and have always had so many problems. My skin is so sensitive that it breaks out in a rash if the product is too harsh and if the product isn't harsh enough my acne goes wild. LOL. This Dr. Brandt product doesn't break me out in a rash and it keeps my acne in pretty good check. I would say that's a win. I'm going to be purchasing the Blemishes No More hydrator to use with the cleanser and intensolution. I have a feeling that the total package is going to be even more effective.5

BAY SHORE, N.Y. (AP) — A homeless New York teenager who's a national Intel science competition semifinalist has been flooded with attention and support.
Samantha Garvey is one of 61 Long Island students who have a chance at the competition's top prize of $100,000.
Newsday (http://bit.ly/xc374g) reports that a day after her achievement became headline news, an anonymous donor came forward to fulfill one of her wishes.
The donor arranged to kennel and vaccinate her pit bull, which she feared would be euthanized in the shelter where she lives with her family.
Garvey is a senior at Brentwood High School. The school says it received several calls with offers to help her with education costs.
Garvey's Intel project focused on predators' effects on ribbed mussels.
She said her family's setbacks motivated her to work hard.

This Tiny Valve Keeps The Pressure On
Redwood MicroSystems Inc. in Menlo Park, Calif., makes a valve the size of your thumbnail. Small but mighty, it can close against a pressure of 3,000 pounds per square inch--a feat equal to lifting 10,000 times its own mass. Combined with tiny semiconductor sensors and other electronic circuitry, the microvalve can release minute quantities of chemical reagents with precision. That may allow scientists to reduce the necessary sample size for DNA sequencing and the amount of reagent required. Such gas microvalves are now undergoing trials in hospitals, helping to maintain pressure in the stomach cavity as a surgeon operates through a tube or to regulate the flow of anesthesia during the operation.
The key to precision is a flexible silicon membrane. This is essentially a tiny pit etched in silicon and sealed between two Pyrex wafers. When heated, fluid in the pit expands, causing the membrane to flex. That precisely controls the flow of gas through a network of channels and holes in the wafer. Redwood has a three-year, $7 million cooperative research and development agreement with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to make valves for portable environmental monitors and other instruments.

Q&A - Where to get secure credit scores online, What we all can learn from one state's Presidential approval rating, What to learn from the celebrity hack story & more:
All 8 Cheat Sheet audio stories are available via iHeartRadio for free by clicking here (along with the complete archive of all stories: http://www.iheart.com/talk/show/Brian-Mudds-tracks/
Cheat Sheet Q&A: Where to get secure credit scores online
Today's entry:
Love your am show, I have a question, maybe you can help me!
I would like to check my credit score, where could I go online to check it? (I'm concerned about safety/security, identity theft, etc). Thank you for your time, all the best....
Bottom Line: This is an excellent question. If you search online for credit scores you'll be presented with a myriad of options. You certainly should be skeptical about the security of the services and accuracy of the information provided. So let's get started…
No true free credit scores are available from the sites like Credit Karma.com. Now credit Karma.com is a good site with terrific information and resources for you to take advantage of for free but you won't get the actual credit scores you're looking for. Credit Karma has a partnership with Trans Union to provide an estimated score based on certain data from Trans Union called the "Trans Risk" score. It may provide a rough estimate of what your actual Trans Union credit score may be but that's about it. That's true of so many of the other sites that purport to offer free credit scores without provider a credit card number. So where should you go?
So let's first take a step back at what scores are available and how they are used by those who will evaluate them. You have two metrics that matter. You have the three consumer credit ratings agencies:
Trans Union
You really need to have a credit score from each one of these consumer credit agencies because if a business or entity evaluates your "credit score" the method that's most commonly used works like this… They will drop the highest score and the lowest score, with the middle score being the one that's used. The single score that's most relevant isn't one of those numbers however…
If you want just one score your Fico score is the way to go. Over 90% of businesses will now use Fico, in conjunction with, or instead of the credit scores provided by the consumer credit rating agencies. So where should you go to get the information online?
Myfico.com is the best site to obtain your fico score (and the also have their own estimator if that'll do for your purposes) and they also do bundle all credit score for you to purchase if you're so inclined
But what is the most cost effective way to obtain the scores?
While purchasing scores from the sites will run you about $10 for each score, if you already use an ID protection service (which I recommend) you generally can upgrade your service for a couple of dollars per month to obtain all three of your credit scores on a regular basis. Identity Guard is the service I prefer and for a mid-level plan you can get all three scores each quarter and one of them every month with the service. So if ID protection and your real credit scores are something you'd like to monitor that's the way I'd recommend going.
If you have a topic or question you'd like me to address email me: firstname.lastname@example.com
Audio Report:
What can be learned (an important lesson) by presidential approval ratings in individual states:
Bottom Line: You'll notice that I rarely discuss the President's average approval rating (since the 2012 election cycle). While I'm glad to see that a majority of Americans view the President's performance as being poor, there is nothing constructive in my view with endlessly piling on about the President's poor approval ratings. So if I do discuss Presidential approval ratings it's because I've picked up on data that's instructive. Such is the case today.
President Obama's average approval rating nationally stands at 42% right now. That's in-line with most of what we've seen over the past year which has seen his approval rating range from 40-45% (in an average of all polls). So if I were to tell you that in a particular state the President has an approval rating of 45%, that would seem completely normal, unless…
The state I'm referring too is one in which the President won in both election cycles. It's one in which he won with greater than 60% of the vote in both election cycles. It's one of the most widely viewed barometers of left leaning policy. It's one of the largest states in the country. I believe that without any of those hints I could give the average astute political observers 45 guesses before that'd identify California as the state that currently sports a 45% approval rating of the President.
One year ago today the President's approval rating in Cali was 62%. A 17% decline in one of the biggest Democratic strong-holds in the country breaks a couple of myths. The ideas that certain people or parts of the country won't change their political perspective and for all intents and purposes should be "written off" as unwinnable for the typical opposition party candidates… Especially notable in the Cali approval rating is the decline in the most liberal cities in California. The President has seen a decline of 11% in Las Angeles and 7% in San Francisco year over year. It doesn't mean that suddenly Californians have suddenly turned into conservatives but it does demonstrate that many people previously written off by many conservatives are hungry for better leadership and policy. This is a learning opportunity.

What most need to learn from the celebrity nude hack story:
Bottom Line: The real lesson from the whole big celeb iCloud hack story for everyone is how much info we are actually storing online – often without realizing it. If you have a mobile device and cloud storage there's a good chance you're putting all of your mobile information online without ever realizing it. Virtually every mobile company has cloud storage that they offer as added value (Apple iCloud, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc). They'll enable a certain amount of storage for free with an active mobile device. If you had your mobile device setup by your service provider there is a good chance that your device is automatically backing itself up on the cloud. That means every picture as well. This is what to the celebs. They didn't likely realize that once they took pictures on their phone, that they were actually being stored online. There can be benefit to the backing up of your phone (if your phone were lost or damaged for example) but clearly it can present issues as well. You do have the option to turn off the auto cloud features in the settings on your mobile devices.

YouTube just turned into a legit business for the talented few who have a real following:
Bottom Line: For enterprising individuals YouTube has been the largest video platform available to attempt to use as a marketing tool. That means that hopefully you can gain a bit of a following with your video postings and some of them may be steered to visiting your website and perhaps doing business with you at some point. It hasn't been a business opportunity unto itself (expect for its parent Google) – until now.
Google has now enabled a new YouTube feature called "Fan Funding". Think of it as a way to tip videos that you think are worth tipping. For those few who do a great job capturing the imagination of a following of viewers to their videos they may now be able to turn YouTube into a legitimate business. It's basically crowd-funding for YouTube videos. Now the catch as of now is that Google has only enabled Google Wallet as a method to "Fan Fund" videos but it is believed that in short order they'll accept more payment methods.
Audio Report:
The tangled web we weed... The curious case of Colorado's Marijuana tax shortfall (and important takeaways for other states):
Bottom Line: If you're an observer of the new you likely have continued to see that the tourism numbers this year in Colorado are up (about 7% as of the last report I've seen). The reason most commonly cited is of course marijuana. Now travel is up around the country at about a 3-4% rate this year so about half of the increase may just be a general economic improvement in travel but still it's clear that many have taken to Colorado to sample the goods. But here's the thing. Colorado has collected $21.5 fewer tax dollars thus far in 2014 than anticipated. So given that they do seem to be attracting a sizeable amount of traffic to the state for marijuana consumption what gives?
The Marijuana Policy Group investigated an discovered a potentially huge issue for the state… It happens to be something I highlighted at the beginning of the year… The black market is still a huge factor.
The state tax on the "legal" marijuana is 27%. That has made the black market a far cheaper alternative for marijuana vs. the licensed stores selling it. The research discovered that 40% of all marijuana purchased in Colorado is still being taking place in the black market. Worse still… the trend is that increasingly more are seeking it out on the black market. Aside from being able to obtain a cheaper price for the product on the black market people are avoiding the often long lines at many businesses that cater to the tourists. More still the biggest risk associated with buying black market drugs has been removed. Once you have the product you know that law enforcement won't come after you, so in essence the only real legal risk remain with the seller of the product rather than the end user. So now the question will be what Colorado's next move is now that they see it isn't working out quite as planned.

@anotherdyementionLocale: NE Ohio
I'm considering using a tarp for backpacking but can't find anything on what to do if it's raining sideways (from wind) into the opening at the end. Obviously it'd be ideal to have the sides facing the wind but what about when it changes direction and it's blowing right in?Mar 11, 2014 at 3:45 pm #2081911
Does your tarp have center guy out points (along the ridge line)? If it does, you can find an overhanging branch/limb and tie your center guy points to it. This will support your tarp from above instead of from the sides like a traditional a-frame. Then all of your other guy out points can be staked directly into the ground giving you protection from all sides. You will end up with a sort of rectangular umbrella shape. Similar to a pyramid tent except the peak is tied to an object above instead of supported by a pole (and the end product is different because it's a rectangle/square). Leave one side high enough that you can slide yourself in it.
I wish I had some pictures of this to show you. Hopefully that wasn't too confusing.Mar 11, 2014 at 3:51 pm #2081914
Or you can set up an a-frame or lean to that is so low to the ground that you your bag is almost touching the tarp. At that low of an angle you would need 90 degree horizontal rain getting blown in at ground level.Mar 11, 2014 at 3:57 pm #2081916

@anotherdyementionLocale: NE Ohio
Thanks, I know what you mean by hanging it from above. And I guess I didn't think about just setting it up right above my sleeping bag. Seems pretty obvious now tht you mentioned that lol. Oh well. Thanks for the replies.Mar 11, 2014 at 5:01 pm #2081931

@randalmartinLocale: Colorado
Tarps with a A frame Cat cut (like the MLD Grace Duo or the GG Q-Twinn) allow you to pitch the sides to the ground and then pitch the end fairly close to the ground you will basically have three sides of protection. With square shaped tarps you can go with the Half Pyramid pitch with also gives you three sides of protection.Mar 11, 2014 at 6:16 pm #2081947

@rwattsLocale: Western PA
We've used a tarp (currently a 10 x 14 silnylon) year round in PA/WV since the late 70's and only a few times faced rain that can defeat your ingenuity in the quest to stay protected (blowing and drifting snow is another matter entirely). Very rarely do we need to lower the windward edge of the tarp close to the ground but this is mainly a function of using such a big tarp for two people and a dog: I have a 5 x 9 tarp that is much less protective even for one person (and of course my dog). It's actually quite exciting siting bone dry watching the rain pouring down a few feet from your face. Take a bivy just in case (bourbon helps too).Mar 11, 2014 at 6:41 pm #2081951

@geokiteLocale: Southern California
Your concern about blowing rain down the length of the tarp happened to me above tree line in the Sierras (Guitar Lake thunderstorm). While I was using a MLD Serenity shelter with a full nylon door, the design doesn't support the door very well (not tight enough to deflect the wind). Not a fun experience. After that I swore I would only use tarps with beaks. Sold that tarp, made a new one with beaks.

I try to avoid places where the wind hit's hard, especially when rain may hammer down. It's asking for trouble, even as far as a peaceful sleep free of flapping tarp material goes.
I look for a site well protected from wind, on a lee slope, and/or in a clearing in brush or thick trees, etc.Mar 12, 2014 at 3:32 am #2082024

I agree with Buck. Half of sucessfull tarp camping is selecting good ground. It really isn't any different than sleeping in the basic lean-to's found throughout the NE.
There is not much you can do after a tarp is set up to avoid major wind shifts. Near lakes and other large bodies of water, all you can do is avoid immediate beaches. Woods, brush stands, and other sheltered areas are best. Generally, in the northern latitiudes anyway, the winds come out of the west. In a ravine or valley it might be better to set the tarp up at right angles to the valley, though. Winds .will often flow up/down along the stream bed.
Use a somewhat larger tarp. In the western deserts, a 5'x7' tarp is often enough. In the east, that doesn't work very well. I use a 7×9 tarp and find it barely adequate in high summer. A 9×9 gives me more dry space for clothing or a partner. In shoulder seasons, a 10×10 is better due to the large number of rain storms. A 7×11 shaped tarp, with front beak & small 12" back opening, is good for solo camping. I have used this in some wild thunder storms, and stayed dry. I try to figure about a 45 degree angle from any edge left open to the weather.
Some storms will blow spray in anyway, but this is usually in the form of mist, or small droplets that almost float in the air. Not a lot you can do with that. The solution is a full coverage tent at a lot more weight. It is rare for heavy and violent wind storms to last more than 24 hours. Stuff may get damp from the mist, but rarely truly wet.Mar 12, 2014 at 8:02 am #2082059

If you are using a large 8'x10' tarp, it usually isn't much of a problem, though the large size can be a disadvantage in strong winds. My current solo sized tarp does need a bit more care in rain since its shorter in length. My worry is more about the head end then the foot end since my tarp is much shorter at the foot end since its not a true rectangle as you don't need headroom on that end. Due to being a cat cut tarp, I only use an A-Frame type setup though I may have the wind side staked directly the the ground while the other side may be staked high up in the air.
If in wind, you normally stake the tarp lower to the ground (lower your trekking pole height or tie it lower to a tree and make the tarp wider but lower to the ground) so that it acts less like a sail. This also means you'll have less rain blown under since the opening at the ends is shorter. In really strong winds, this may mean you are crawling into/out of the tarp. As Buck stated, you normally look for a sheltered spot, if available where boulders, trees, brush, logs, will block off some of the wind. Staying dry in a tarp is mostly about campsite selection.
I normally use my treking poles at the ends and stake it to the ground, but if rain is threatening and a large tree is available, I'll often tie the head end to the large tree instead which blocks a large part of the opening. In the past, I've put my packcover on my pack and used it and my rain coat to block off some of the opening after the wind shifted. I know some hikers who like to carry umbrellas for sun and rain and they use those to help close off part of the end.
I've been tarp camping since 2006. I've only been bothered by wind blown rain inside the tarp a couple of times when I was forced to camp in less ideal campsites with strong winds. Worse case, you collapse it and rotate the tarp around and put it back up. I normally don't bother and only did so maybe twice since the wind direction was often changing. Only 1 time did I get really wet underneath my tarp and that was due to a really poor campsite selection that I will never repeat. I normally carry a water resistant bivy sack for such situations and because I normally cowboy camp if it isn't raining.
On the plus side, a tarp has less condensation issues than a tent which can keep you drier in some conditions. When I hiked the PCT through Washington in 2009, I seemed to stay drier with my tarp then many other thru-hikers in their single wall tents and tarp tents due to this issue.Mar 12, 2014 at 9:19 am #2082108

Depending on the number and spacing of your side tie-outs, it may be possible to stake the corners in and under until they meet, essentially closing off the end. In the pictures below I use a zipper to then connect the sides of the end, but you can pitch it the same way without the zipper and get just a narrow slit at the end. If you do it at both ends, then you essentially have a floorless tent which can take horizontal rain from any direction.

Tarps can be light, but you pay in exposure. I think they are viable for summer use in forested areas, but can't imagine a blow above treeline. Rain isn't so much the problem, but WIND will getcha. Vertically falling rain is just pitter patter on the roof.
It's all about site selection and pitching to suit the weather. As you noted, the stinker is having the weather change directions after you have pitched for the night. There's little choice but to live with it or get up and re-pitch, both making for a wet night. A bivy can help, but that adds to the cost and weight.
Shaped tarps with beaks and cantenary sides can improve wind and weather performance, but they are limited to basic a-frame pitches. If you get a big flat tarp, it can be pitched in many configurations to suit the weather and number of users.
That's why floorless tent designs are popular. They can give 360° protection for a few ounces more. They are limited to one configuration in most cases. The Borah Gear Borahgami is a notable exception.Mar 12, 2014 at 12:18 pm #2082173
This is one of my favs.
The key thing is pitching it very low to the ground, but using the center/top guy outs to give you more head room in the center of the tarp. Obviously being in a forest with lots of trees and branches to tie off to gives you more options.Mar 12, 2014 at 12:27 pm #2082176

AND lots of guy line helps.
LarryMar 12, 2014 at 12:33 pm #2082179
Yep, in bad weather I carry generous amounts and lengths of guy lines and 10 + stakes for all of the stake out points. It's a chunk of weight to add on but worth it.
In good weather I carry maybe 6 stakes, 3 for each side, and two lines for ridelines. That's it. I mostly cowboy camp in fair weather and don't mind being limited to a simple a-frame pinned directly to the ground if it happens to rain.Mar 12, 2014 at 2:58 pm #2082226

If I were to tarp camp for more than a night (since overnights, you can plan for the weather) I would use an enclosed tarp like an MLD Duo-Mid.
It's still a "tarp" in terms of weight and everything, but it's a lot stronger against adverse weather because it's designed for it.

How can I make Mathematica give me either a list or an inequality
representing all real values of x that will make f[x] either undefined,
imaginary, or infinite? For example, if f[x] := (2x^2-18)/(x+3) then x
!= {-3}. (-3 would give a 0 in the denominator)
Secondly, how can I find all real numbers that CANNOT be returned by
f[x] for any real, finite value of x. In the example, f[x] != {-12}.
As a second example, ArcSin[x] only returns a real, finite number when
-1 <= x <= 1. When it is passed a real, finite number, it can only
return values where -pi/2 <= ArcSin[x] <= pi/2.

Pitt vs. St. John's, Big East Championship First Round, March 6, 2012, Madison Square Garden, No. 13 seed Pitt 73, No. 12 seed St. John's 59
Opening Comments:
COACH DIXON: We defended well and did enough rebounding wise, and I thought we were patient offensively, took pretty good shots, shot a good percentage against a good defensive team. Obviously St. John's with a match-up zone bothers a lot of teams. We played pretty well in both games against them and took good shots for the most part and today we cut down on the turnovers and gave us another good opportunity. Another good win. I think we had a lot of guys give us good performances. We had ten guys out there giving us good minutes and that's something we're going to need. So I'm proud of how our guys played, I'm proud of how our seniors played, and we're trying to get better every day. I think we've gotten better the last couple weeks and it's a good sign as we go forward here. We've got to defend defensively, and I think we did that today and we'll continue to do that here as we go forward tomorrow.
Q. Is it kind of weird you guys have never won a Big East Tournament, now it's your senior year. How much do you want this?
Ashton Gibbs: Yeah, it's definitely a little weird, especially the past three years we had a lot more success during the regular season. But it was a good win for us today. I think it started on the defensive end, and we let it carry on to offense. We did a good job of moving the ball, and it's something we've just got to continue to do throughout the tournament.
Q. (No microphone.)
Ashton Gibbs: Yeah, I think it's definitely possible. We're just going to take one game at a time and worry about our next game and keep going.
Q. Nasir, this is the second straight game that you've had to defend Moe Harkless. What is it like covering a guy that size?
Nasir Robinson: He's a good player, real skilled. I wanted to make him shoot tough shots. He hit some real tough ones, and I just wanted to make him make tough shots.
Q. You guys had a pretty tough Big East season. Do you feel like you're peaking at the right time during the tournament?
COACH DIXON: Well, I think we're a little bit -- about as healthy as we've been. We've had a number of guys miss practices last week, but we have everybody available. We didn't have John last game, John Johnson, but he gave us good minutes today, so that was valuable. But I do believe that we are, and I tell our guys that I believe our best basketball is in our next game here, so I told them that going into this tournament. We did some good things today. I think we can be a better team tomorrow, and I believe that that's what you want to be. We've obviously had some injuries and had to battle through some things, but we're still around and we're getting better in some areas that we've focused on. I think we are playing our best basketball here going forward. And we've got some guys healthy right now, so I feel pretty good about where we're going. We've got a good team to play tomorrow, so we'll see what we can do.
Q. There was a play late in the first half where the ball seemed to go after the back of the backboard. Did you sense them getting frustrated?
Ashton Gibbs: Yeah, I heard them arguing, a couple players arguing going back and forth on the court. We just wanted to keep our team together. When it hit the backboard, we wanted to keep playing until we heard the whistles, and we just wanted to keep playing and stay together.
Nasir Robinson: Yeah, same thing. That's one thing we've been stressing in practice really is just to keep playing, whether the ref blew the whistle or not. That's what we did. It got a little frustrating, that part of the game, but at the end of the day we played together as a team from beginning to end and got the win.
Q. How about having to play back to back games like that?
Nasir Robinson: Yeah, I feel good. Throughout the season I've been struggling with it, just been fighting through it, trying to do what I can for my team. Towards the end of the year I've been feeling good. I've been doing what I do with my trainer, and it's feeling good.
Q. How about the way you guys played against the press in the second half?
COACH DIXON: They're going to force some things. I think we can do a better job of getting -- advancing it and maybe attacking on the backside of it. It's something that we've looked at and tried to do. But hopefully it'll get us better and help us down the road, but 13 turnovers is still a little bit too high, but against a pressing team, and looking at what they were doing, I think it's not a horrible number. Better than we had in our last game against them. We took good shots. That was the most important thing.
I think at the end of it, we took a good shot at the end of the press, and we didn't get rushed into shots, and I think that's the most important thing, too.
Q. Given what Ashton has meant to this program, is this the time to let him do his thing?
COACH DIXON: Well, we're just playing like we're trying to play. We've encouraged him to take open jump shots and more threes than he's been taking, and that was a good thing about today, I think he took nine of his fourteen shots were threes and off the catch, and four for nine is a good percentage from three. That's what we want to do. They did a good job on the defensive end, too, and that's what we need and that's what we've been stressing from our guards is they need to get our defense going. They need to be the big -- they need to be the energy, the charge, the direct and get us where we need to be defensively. So I thought he did a good job in that area.
COACH DUNLAP: The difference between the first time we played Pitt and the second was that we were able to rebound with them a little bit better, but we weren't able to finish at the rim. We had a lot of easy baskets that didn't go in. And I think when we came out in the second half, that impacted our ability to play probably a little bit more intense. We let that bleed into our defense. But the story was we had plenty of good looks, we just couldn't finish.
Q. Looks like you did a pretty good job the first half, you had a lead. Is there wear and tear having two players play a lot of games in a very short amount of time?
COACH DUNLAP: Well, from our vantage point we never forwarded that, so when we go in at halftime, we tried to lock in on two or three adjustments. I'm sure that your question, it's factored in, but that'll be down the road. Because the journey, this journey, is over with, we're not going to give ourselves the luxury of evaluating in that form. There were some tactical things in terms of I just thought we moved the ball great. We had some great player movement. The game had a tone to it of a playoff game. But I think that what really played in, we had some guys that were 1 for 8 or whatnot, and I think that that kind of took a little bit of the wind out of our sails.
Q. How much of that do you think is attributed to you? You've got a good team.
COACH DUNLAP: The seeds are there, and the wisdom that was gained this year and where we're headed. Certainly we have steel girders in terms of the players that we have now. Now to add to them and to advance forward, and there was never, the entire journey, where we got down. This team was resilient. We came back and played a quality team in Pitt, one. But two is the way we played, the esprit de corps was high, high level, and that's kind of the way it's been all year long with our guys. They were a joy to coach the entire year. We didn't have one player miss one practice and we didn't have one player of the six that went down with injury. So it's attributable to a lot of our support staff, whether it's weights or trainer, but also to these guys how mentally tough they grew over the course of the journey.
Q. Mo, it was a pretty physical game today. Sometimes you guys were on the floor with no call. Does that get frustrating after a while?
MOE HARKLESS: Yeah, definitely, because I think we didn't get a lot of calls that were like clearly fouls. But you've just got to keep playing through it and you can't really worry about it too much and not worry about what the refs call and just play the game?
Q. D'Angelo had it going in the first half and he got cold as the game went on. What changed in the second half?
COACH DUNLAP: Well, I think some of that is our sensitivity, as we grow, that to play the hot hand out, and I think Mo was 5 for 7 from the floor going in at halftime, so we tried to point out those two things. We have a couple of actions for them and we isolated them quite a bit in the second half. But I think some of that is attributed to how well coached Pitt is. You know, you definitely -- they know who D'Angelo is. I think it's a combination of the two.
Q. That late first half run you guys got up 6 and then they ran off 13-2. How deflating is that going into the locker room?
COACH DUNLAP: As they say in the Westerns, we had them right where we wanted them. We knew what was hurting us. We had a two-minute patch, and again, you have to give Pitt credit. Towards the end of the first half, and I think some of that had to do with just the intensity of the way we played in the first 18 minutes, and also as they wear you down physically, because they're much heavier in the pockets at their fours and fives, where they're pushing you and driving you and playing physical, as we tried to. But I think we got a little bit weary with the short patch in there. So during halftime, we didn't even address that phase. We just told them here is what's good about what you're doing and we tried to replicate that in the second half.
Q. At one point in the half you guys hit a lull in rebounding. Was that attributed to foul trouble?
COACH DUNLAP: Combination of foul trouble and also Pitt's ability to wedge on the weak side and use their thickness and height to drive some of our smaller players under the basket because they're going to do that all game long and you've got to be sturdy and withstand that kind of thing. So that's full credit to Pitt.
Q. When they went on the 13-2 run and the game got quick and you guys didn't get the kind of offensive stuff you wanted, did you feel that you were hurrying, that the game was getting faster and you guys were maybe shooting the ball a little bit?
MOE HARKLESS: I think we like to play a fast-paced game but I think when the pace switched, we were rushing a little bit. A lot of shots that we took during that time were bad shots and I think if we would have slowed down and took our time, I think we would have been able to overcome that hump.
Q. For Mo, obviously all year with basically six guys, can you describe how tough that's been to go 32 games that way?
MOE HARKLESS: You know, it's pretty tough, but I think our guys on our team, everybody is like -- everybody is tough on our team. Nobody gave up on each other. Everybody just kept at it every day, even on our days off we'd be in the gym playing pickup and everything. I think this group has a bright future. A lot of guys on this team are young and we're talented, and I think how this team, they never give up. A lot of people didn't expect us to even play this way, the way we did this season. A lot of people expected us to do a lot worse, and I think we did a good job keep fighting. I think as coach said we showed a lot of resiliency, and I think we have a bright future?
Q. Ashton Gibbs, what do you make of the way he played today and what have you seen from him in those two games?
COACH DUNLAP: Well, the one thing about him is he's always going to come back to his better self, you just don't know when. He ran into a really tough patch when Woodall went down, so it forced him to change his game a little bit, and when Woodall came back, he got back to his natural position. Unfortunately, we were probably the recipient of them feeling that whole situation out and he came back to his better self. We know he's one of the better shooters if not the best shooter in the Big East, but if you look at his field goal percentage from the three, it was down because he was taking more contested shots because Woodall wasn't there to drive gaps and kick and all that kind of stuff. Again, it's just a very fine player wearing us out a little bit and doing a good job, and he's got a little mojo going. He's just playing off momentum right now, and he's found his better self.

This has become my go to shave cream for now. I don't have much to trim (large beard) so a little goes a long ways for me. And it seems to really help me get a smooth close shave.4

Written by Caroline Deisley, USC blog contributor
While most of the Pac-12 focused their attention today on the highly-touted Thursday matchup between the third-ranked Oregon Ducks and fifth-ranked Stanford Cardinal, the USC Trojans had only one thing on their mind: Saturday's trip to California Memorial Stadium to take on the Bears.
- The emphasis of today's "no repeat" Thursday practice was specifically on short run yardage, red zone, and goal line plays. When asked which running back's number will be called in those situations, head coach Ed Orgeron relinquished that decision to running backs coach Tommy Robinson. He said, "That's up to Tommy. It's a toss up. I think whatever Tommy feels as to who runs that play the best will get the call, but I totally trust him."
- Sophomore defensive end Leonard Williams is still questionable for Saturday's noon game against Cal as Coach O said it will be a game-time decision. "He's very questionable. It's a matter of if he gets his strength back. We don't know if he will play yet or not," said the head coach.
- In other injury news, tailback D.J. Morgan had surgery today at the Keck Medical Center on his knee which means that he will be out for the remainder of the season.
- Though Marqise Lee had 105 yards on five receptions against Oregon State including a 70-yard touchdown on the Trojans first offensive series, don't ignore the impact that Nelson Agholor has had for the Trojans offense in Lee's absence. Agholor had 73 receiving yards on just two receptions against the Beavers adding on to his 97 yards against Utah, 89 against Notre Dame and a whopping 161 against Arizona. Coach said to look out for the wide receiver on Saturday. He said, "I really think that Nelson Agholor has had a tremendous last four games for us and I really really like the way he's playing."
- Coach O also addressed the impact of true freshmen Su'a Cravens and Leon McQuay saying, "I would've gone to war for both of them to play this year. We wanted that definitely. We didn't know if they were going to start or be the key guys in there but obviously we want all our top players to play as freshmen so it worked out pretty good for them."
- The offensive line is coming off it's best performance all season as they played consistent football and played together as a unit. This cohesiveness is largely due to the fact that most of the original rotation is back from injury. Coach O said, "It's a good thing having several options. The last couple of weeks we didn't have many options so we just had to put guys in there."
- In terms of who will start for the O-line on Saturday, Coach O said that all depends on the status of Kevin Graf. They really liked their rotation from last week but obviously will move things around depending on Graf. "If Kevin's healthy he will start at right tackle," confirmed the head coach.
Here's the head coach after Thursday's practice...

YMCA Fundraising Concert Coming Up in September
A concert coming up next month will look to raise money for the Toccoa-Stephens County YMCA.
The concert will take place in the Garrison Auditorium at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center in Toccoa on Saturday, September 14 at 6:30 p.m.
David LaMotte will perform at the concert.
Toccoa-Stephens County YMCA CEO Robin Dake said LaMotte is a very talented musician who will put on a great show.
"David LaMotte is an independent musician that I have been a fan of for years," said Dake. "He tells stories during his shows that are funny and insightful and then he plays just wonderful music. He is an amazing guitar player and a wonderful musician."
She compared his musical genre to that of artists such as James Taylor.
Tickets are $25 each for the 90 minute to two-hour show.
Dake said the money raised will help the YMCA give back to the community by helping people have access to the Y's programs.
"When something is benefiting the Y, it is ultimately benefiting the community because we take money from our fundraisers and use it towards our scholarships," said Dake. "We give scholarships for every program we have."
Those programs range from memberships to summer camp and after-school programs, said Dake.
Tickets can be purchased at the YMCA on Big A Road in Toccoa or online at mytoccoa.com.
Tickets will also be available at the door on the night of the show at the Georgia Baptist Conference Center.
For more information on the concert, call the Toccoa-Stephens County YMCA at 706-886-9622.

Bromelain as a Natural Anti-Clotting Nutrient
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Bromelain is one of the best nutrients known to help dissolve things in your body that should not be there. It is little surprise that a review of bromelain animal and human studies show that it can help keep your blood from improperly clotting.
The science shows that bromelain inhibits platelets from sticking together while also protecting the walls of arteries. It has a specific effect on thrombin, helping reduce clotting factors associated with clot formation as well as reduce existing clots. Unlike the rat poison used by the medical profession, it does not interfere with needed clotting and actually speeds healing.
Many nutrients help your blood flow better and keep platelets in better working condition. Other notable choices include resveratrol, curcumin, DHA, tocotrienol E and pantethine. And remember, leptin receptors are on your platelets. Leptin resistance is a primary reason for sticky blood that can place you at risk for strokes. It is vital to follow the Leptin Diet regardless of your weight, and lose weight healthfully if you are overweight, in order to properly reduce risks for inappropriate clotting.

Hiking in Mitake-san

Our plan was to do a 5 hour round hike to a place which would give excellent views of Mount Fuji, however, getting to Mitake-san via JR metro took a little longer than we were anticipating - 3-4 hours! It was probably because we took "commuter rapids" the whole way, which stop at every stop and aren't very rapid at all! We also had to change subways three time, catch a bus and then a cable car, with a bit of waiting time in between each.
So instead, we hiked to a little waterfall and took our time exploring the little township with its shrines. There were lovely cedar forests, crisp mountain air and the sound of trickling water.

Hello loves! Today I wanted to share my thoughts on Multi-purposing your makeup. I am a believer that makeup doesn't have to have limitations. Just because something is labeled as "eyeshadow" or "blush" doesn't mean you ALWAYS have to use it as such!
I got this Revlon Perle eyeshadow in "Brushed Copper" from a swap with Ndoodles! It's a gorgeous champagne shade.
It's a little too light for me to use as just a lid shade, but it makes a wonderful highlight!
The multi-purpose?
It also makes a wonderful highlight for cheeks!
Applied with a light hand, it gives a nice, subtle glow.
The glitter is not overpowering and gives off pretty shimmers.

Another product I use daily for a TOTALLY different purpose than it is intended for is DHC Rose Beauty Eye Zone Treatment Retouch Q10. I got this from a swap with Angela of SparkleMidori. I tried using this a few times as an undereye concealer, but it is too sheer for my dark circles and caused my eyeliner to smudge really quickly.
The multi-purpose?
I decided to use it as a lip primer/concealer!
I decided to use it as a lip primer/concealer!
NOTE: To the best of my knowledge, this does not contain ingredients that would be harmful to lips. I mean, I use regular concealer/foundation on my lips all the time too, and that doesn't cause me any problems. I could not find an actual ingredient list, but I did find this list from Lotus Palace: olive oil essence, Coenzyme Q10, a sunscreen of SPF30 PA+++ and clear rose pigment.
It perfectly lightens up the pigmentation of my lips and preps for lipcolor, which shows up A LOT better! Also, with continued use, it has made my lips much smoother and softer : )
Another product I like to make alternative use of is BLUSH!
The multi-purpose?
Layered over lipbalm, you can create so many gorgeous custom lipcolors using blush! This is MAC "Style" poweder blush over EOS lip balm.
This is ELF Natural Radiance Blusher "Glow" over MAC "Style" powder blush over EOS lip balm. Tell me that isn't gorgeous!
This is ELF Natural Radiance Blusher "Glow" by itself, over EOS lip balm.
The last product I wanted to talk about is BRONZER.
The multi-purpose?
If you don't like the way a bronzer looks on your face, you can use it as eyeshadow!
You can also use the individual shades for different uses.
For this EOTD/FOTD, I'm using ELF's Studio Warm Bronzer; the individual colors as eyeshadow, the pink shade as blush, and the shades mixed together as a contour shade.
While the pigmentation of the individual bronzer shades are only average, layered over ELF mineral eye primer, they make for a great neutral eye look. Shade 2 and 3 are good for highlights. Shade 1 and 4 are good for lid/crease shades. I also used shade 2 as a blush. I used all the shades swirled together to contour my cheekbones.
• To finish the eye look, I applied a dark brown shade (5) from my Wet N Wild Color Icon palette in "Vanity" on my lid.
• To finish the lips, I topped off the blush lipcolor with NYX Round lip gloss in "Whipped" and YSL Golden Gloss in "Golden Peony."
• For the rest of my face, I used a light dusting of EDM pressed powder in "Light" + MAC MSF Natural in "Medium." For my cheeks, I layered over the pink shade from the ELF Studio Bronzer with ELF Studio Blush in "Candid Coral" and MAC powder blush in "Style."
The finished look:
(I realize that the majority of my FOTDs/EOTDs look like this, lol. What can I say, I like browns/golds :P)

Is there a rumor you've heard that you would like to track down? Is there something in the city — like playground equipment or a pothole — that needs to be fixed? Rick Romano answers some of the mysteries of life in Wauwatosa and helps solve everyday problems.
What is up with parking along Menomonee River Parkway and across sidewalks?
Issue: Two readers asked about these parking situations. One characterized the two-sided parking along some stretches of Menomonee River Parkway as "dangerous" to traffic and pedestrians. Our reader also wanted to know who polices the parkway.
The other reader complained that cars parked across pedestrian sidewalks seen on the east side of the city forces pedestrians into the street. He wanted to know why this is allowed.
Status: Wauwatosa Police Lt. Chris Fox weighed in on both issues. He said Milwaukee County has primary responsibility for the parkway, though city officers will address problems they encounter.
"If it is causing congestion, we will deal with it," Fox said.
He said the parkway's sweeping turns and parking pattern have a "calming effect" on traffic.
Calming traffic is a desired effect sought by the county. A spokesperson in 2013 said the parkway is meant to be an access road to recreational areas rather than a through-way.
On the sidewalk question, parking on or across sidewalks is a violation of city code, Lt. Fox said.
"From the standpoint of pedestrian courtesy, it's a giant pain, especially if someone is in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller," he said. "Also, when it's two or three in the morning, our patrols like to be able to look all the way down the street and sidewalks."
Lt. Fox said the department asks an owner of such vehicles to comply. Repeat offenders will be ticketed. Fines begin at $25.

|Dear Moostasha,
Thanks for your most profound and thoughtful response. I agree that we Ame-"reek"-ans seem to revel in things that are putrid, disgusting, and downright revolting (our current administration comes to mind). However, I believe it will be a long time before we "rank" as highly in the world as you clearly do in realizing a truly stinky culture (I'm thinking feta cheese here).

A Food Lover's Farewell To the Forward
Martyna Starosta
Shabbat dinner was a staple of my childhood — complete with sweet kiddush wine, freshly baked challah and friends around the table. But instead of the traditional chicken, kugel and tzimmes, our dinner menu was grilled fish, roasted vegetables and melon. Classic Ashkenazi or "bubbe fare" rarely graced our table. Brisket was reserved for holidays and my grandmother's ever so light gefilte fish was prepared once a year — on Passover.
I came to Jewish food through the Forward. For the past three plus years I have edited nearly every piece of food content that we have published. I learned how to make gefilte fish from the Gefilteria, the trade secrets of New York's best matzo ball soups and how to fry a perfect Israeli-style schnitzel. Through our Shabbat Meals series, I was able to pull up a chair to countless Shabbat dinners hosted by our writers around the world, hear about their customs and learn their family recipes. I watched modern Jewish food flourish and Israeli food really start to come into its own. While I have loved many of the food articles in the Forward, below is a list of my all time favorites.
This week is my last at the Forward before I join Eater NY as the associate editor. It has been a delicious honor to work as the Forward's food editor and one that surely would not have been possible without my exceptional colleagues and a passionate and talented team of freelancers. I hope you will stay in touch and send me your holiday cooking questions at @devraferst.

Almost all the NFL games are on Saturday with only one on Sunday? Anybody remember THIS ever happening?
Any excitement about the NBA returning Sunday or is this a ho-hum?

Less than 40% trust Wikipedia: survey by iSHARE
12, 21. 2007
Some 90.1% of people who were surveyed said they knew about the free encyclopedia on the internet Wikipedia, but less than 40% of them replied they "trust" what are posted in it. The survey was conducted by iSHARE Inc. on Dec. 7, 2007. Those who replied "sometimes doubtful" accounted for 55.6% of the respondents in the survey and those who said "basically don't trust", 5.0%. Combining these two percentages, it was shown that about 60% of the people doubt the reliability to some extent.
