Hi all. Im Dan and new to the forum. Had my 318ti for a while now and love its gun-ho handling...however the charm is beginning to wear off with this probelm that you've all discussed previously.
Everytime she is started from cold (particulary on these cold mornings) she REALLY struggles to start. I let the lights go out on the dash then turn her over and the best way I can describe the symptom is as if the battery is nearly flat. The engine struggles badly to spark into life.....plenty of throttle is required, and when she does start I get the really bad lumpy shaky idle...so much so the whole car is shaking. You can also smell the fuel out of the exhaust. After a minute or so she settles down to a nice idle.
However, she is burning through so muh petrol something is defintely wrong. RE. the start up, if I drive to the shops or town (and shes fully warmed up) she will then start perfectly.
Dont know if its related but theres a ticking sound coming from the inlet manifold area which starts to happen when shes warmed up a bit, but I can make it go by giving her a few revs....but it does come back later :-(
I've read so many things as to what it could be but as mentioned earlier on in the thread I dont want to chuck money at the things which dont need doing. I've had the plugs out and cleaned them, along with the MAF. My next port of call is the Idle control valve.
However, I'm sceptical as to whether its the leads / plugs / coil pack etc as when warm and at normal operating temperature she is absolutely fine.
Any answers or resolutions youve had yourselves are welcome.
P.S. another thing which I'm sure is wrong.....When I come off the throttle to let her coast she slows down too quickly for my liking (as does the engine speed). I know its not the brakes as she has had 2 brand new calipers as well as Genuine BMW discs and pads fitted by Sytner themselves......And, it doesnt do it if I put her into neutral and coast.
Sorry for all the questions, but I love her to bits and dont want to get rid of such an otherwise immaculate and clean 318ti with only 60k on the clock
Hi everyone, just joined. I used to have a 735i when I was a lot younger and didn't have anything else to spend my money on but petrol.
I've recently just bought a 2001 320d SE. Its in pretty good overall nick and is cheap to run with full service history. A pleasure to drive after the t4 Transporter I've been driving around in for the last year!!
I have a few questions but I'll pop them into the relevant sections.
Am new here...how's it everyone...Ollywild

Hi Everyone,
I thought Id start to sign up to the forum as this seems to be the place where the most knowledge and intelligence happens to be.
So just bought my second BMW, first one was a E46 M coupe 320 In the M3 Blue, chipped to 190 or so BHP and had that for seven years, what a car, with all the money spent and some troubles a pleasure to drive.
Just bought a 2009 M coupe E92 330 D Automatic tiptronic in black, great drive but already causing issues which is eating my bank balance. went to the stealers to get a security update and had a fright.
They stated I have a leaking transmission sump from the sealant and also engine is leaking oil, mostly the culprit is the Vacuum pump. oh I got 2 cracked Rims the car has MV3 alloys and I was shocked as I had these checked out a week ago with no mention of cracks.
So here we go.
there are a number of modificaiton I want to make, Im work with IT and technology and messing with the software will be my thing.
So if I ask any noobie questions please forgive and hope all is well with everyones pride and joys.
Oh why I wanted to get a software update? my bros same care but 2011 model got stolen from his drive, luckly cops found it 2 hrs later, that was a joy!!
Hi all bmw peeps, have had my 320 ci convert for a year, my first Beemer and very glad I've had one. Just ran into a problem with the roof so will be Trying to get a fix on the problem part. Very good layout of this forum. Regards Robin.

Question: Do you sell information on sales rep groups? We are looking for advice or information on which ones to go with.
Answer: Here's my short answer. If you need some feedback on which sales representatives to go with, start locally by talking to booksellers who could give you feedback on the reps they like best. Contact those reps and show them why they should be interested in your company's books. Once you've got a sales rep for your local area, ask that rep group to recommend rep groups for other areas of the country.
To hire sales reps, you need to have an active publishing program, publishing at least 2 to 3 new titles for the fall and spring bookselling seasons. Sales reps get 10 to 15% of net sales to bookstores and book wholesalers in their territory, whether they actually make the sale or not. There is some small room for negotiation.

Canine Behavior and Acoustics
Much of our attention on canine behavior has focused on visual signals – and given their importance in the behavior and training of domestic dogs, that's a good thing. However, the world of sound – how dogs use it and how it affects them – is extremely important in maintaining their well-being and responsiveness to people. In this webinar directed especially toward shelters and rescue groups, we'll talk about:
- How a dog's acoustic environment can improve or degrade his or her well-being
- Practical ways to use environmental sounds to influence behavior
- What research tells us about how to use your voice most effectively to communicate to dogs and to change their internal affect
- How to interpret the vocalizations of dogs, and how to use that knowledge to change your own behavior or the environment in which dogs are housed (whether individually or in groups).
You'll leave this webinar with an enhanced understanding of one of the most important senses in a dog's world, (not to mention your own!), what recent research tells us about this important aspect of a dog's environment, and how to use your own voice to communicate with dogs as effectively as possible.
This free, 60-minute webinar is open to animal welfare professionals and volunteers, including foster parents.
This webinar has been approved for 1 CEU for behavior consultants by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). To receive credit after you watch the full recording, email your CCPDT membership number to ASPCApro with the webinar name. We will submit CCPDT information once per month.

Anyone else participate?
I decided to try the school on Saturday (PM session). This was my first autocross event, and I managed to learn a few things from my instructor that helped me to shave quite a bit of time off each run. Started off at about 41, ended with a best time of 37.9. It's amazing how much more you learn about your car's handling and performance after a few times around. Can't wait to go again! I found a local organization that does monthly events so I'll have to give that a try.
If anyone else participated please share your pics and videos. I'll have mine up soon.

Health care legislation moves forward in Vt House
04/01/08 4:55PM By Bob Kinzel
(Host) After five hours of debate, the Vermont House gave its preliminary approval this afternoon to legislation that backers hope will help slow down the growth of health care costs in Vermont.
But critics question how effective the bill is going to be.
VPRs Bob Kinzel reports:
(Kinzel) At the start of the session, members of the House Health Care committee wanted to make some significant expansions to Catamount Health - that's the state's program for uninsured Vermonters. But when it became apparent that the state didn't have enough money to fund these initiatives, the committee scaled back its proposal.
Middlebury Rep. Steve Maier is the chairman of the committee:
(Maier) "It's fair to say that none of us are completely satisfied with what we've been able to bring forward this year but much more needs to be done in health care yet we know that these next steps represented by H887 are good and that we must continue to sustain our progress in health care reform."
The legislation allows young adult children to remain on their parent's policies until they turn 24. The committee took this approach because it's estimated that 25% of all uninsured people in Vermont are under the age of 25.
The bill creates a new state health insurance policy that offers lower premiums to individuals who agree to participate in wellness programs and it seeks a federal waiver to reduce the waiting period for Catamount coverage from 12 months to 6 months.
It also expands higher education loan forgiveness programs for people in the health care field.
Hardwick Rep. Lucy Leriche says the bill contains some important initiatives:
(Leriche) "Health care reform is complicated. There is no single simple answer to ensure everyone has quality health care that they can afford it will be a long tough struggle but we have a better start in Vermont than in any other state."
Critics of the bill spanned the political spectrum. Barre Town Republican Tom Koch argued that this is the wrong time to expand Catamount:
(Koch) "We don't know if it's going to be oversubscribed or under subscribed, over budget or under budget, but we're going and changing it as soon as we can without any realization or knowledge or understanding or even good predictability as to the consequences."
While others, like Burlington Progressive Chris Pearson said the bill doesn't go far enough. He wants the state to adopt a single payer system that provides health care to all Vermonters:
(Pearson) "This bill asks for another study that will no doubt demonstrate that tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars we will save under comprehensive universal health care."
The legislation calls for grants to help health care providers develop electronic medical records.
The plan is paid for by imposing a small surcharge on all health care claims. Lawmakers will consider the surcharge as part of the debate over next year's budget.

The concept of good governance originated among African scholars in relation to state-society relations in Africa, expressing the concern that these be developmental, democratic, and socially inclusive. The term has since been taken up by the international development business - in particular the World Bank - and used by them as a new label for aid conditionality, in particular structural adjustment in all its various manifestations

The Life of Charlotte Bronte HTML version
Chapter 6
This is perhaps a fitting time to give some personal description of Miss Bronte. In 1831,
she was a quiet, thoughtful girl, of nearly fifteen years of age, very small in figure--
"stunted" was the word she applied to herself,--but as her limbs and head were in just
proportion to the slight, fragile body, no word in ever so slight a degree suggestive of
deformity could properly be applied to her; with soft, thick, brown hair, and peculiar
eyes, of which I find it difficult to give a description, as they appeared to me in her later
life. They were large and well shaped; their colour a reddish brown; but if the iris was
closely examined, it appeared to be composed of a great variety of tints. The usual
expression was of quiet, listening intelligence; but now and then, on some just occasion
for vivid interest or wholesome indignation, a light would shine out, as if some spiritual
lamp had been kindled, which glowed behind those expressive orbs. I never saw the like
in any other human creature. As for the rest of her features, they were plain, large, and ill
set; but, unless you began to catalogue them, you were hardly aware of the fact, for the
eyes and power of the countenance over-balanced every physical defect; the crooked
mouth and the large nose were forgotten, and the whole face arrested the attention, and
presently attracted all those whom she herself would have cared to attract. Her hands and
feet were the smallest I ever saw; when one of the former was placed in mine, it was like
the soft touch of a bird in the middle of my palm. The delicate long fingers had a peculiar
fineness of sensation, which was one reason why all her handiwork, of whatever kind--
writing, sewing, knitting--was so clear in its minuteness. She was remarkably neat in her
whole personal attire; but she was dainty as to the fit of her shoes and gloves.
I can well imagine that the grave serious composure, which, when I knew her, gave her
face the dignity of an old Venetian portrait, was no acquisition of later years, but dated
from that early age when she found herself in the position of an elder sister to motherless
children. But in a girl only just entered on her teens, such an expression would be called
(to use a country phrase) "old-fashioned;" and in 1831, the period of which I now write,
we must think of her as a little, set, antiquated girl, very quiet in manners, and very quaint
in dress; for besides the influence exerted by her father's ideas concerning the simplicity
of attire befitting the wife and daughters of a country clergyman, her aunt, on whom the
duty of dressing her nieces principally devolved, had never been in society since she left
Penzance, eight or nine years before, and the Penzance fashions of that day were still dear
to her heart.
In January, 1831, Charlotte was sent to school again. This time she went as a pupil to
Miss W-, who lived at Roe Head, a cheerful roomy country house, standing a little apart
in a field, on the right of the road from Leeds to Huddersfield. Three tiers of old-
fashioned semicircular bow windows run from basement to roof; and look down upon a
long green slope of pasture-land, ending in the pleasant woods of Kirklees, Sir George
Armitage's park. Although Roe Head and Haworth are not twenty miles apart, the aspect
of the country is as totally dissimilar as if they enjoyed a different climate. The soft

Profiles in History Announces July Auctions
Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, announces new dates for their "Treasures from the Hollywood Vaults" auction in July. The auction will take place over four days beginning Thursday, July 26 through Sunday, July 29. July 26-27 will be Treasures from the Hollywood Vaults, July 28 will feature items from the esteemed Dreier Collection, and finally July 29 will be the Animation Auction. The Animation Auction will contain valuables such as a rare and significant Disneyland Prospectus, Walt Disney's first motion picture camera and animations cels from beloved and now nostalgic classics. More below.
Discovered in an estate sale in the early 1980s was an important document drafted by Walt Disney and artist Herb Ryman to give words and images to Walt's idea of a family fun attraction. This 1953 Disneyland Prospectus is one of only 3 supposedly produced personally by Disney and Ryman for Walt to take to New York and find a partner to invest $5 million to finance the building of Disneyland. Disney gave each of the three documents to a different banker in New York, but left without an investor. Since 1984, this particular Disneyland Prospectus has belonged to the same owner, collectibles expert and appraiser Gary Sohmers, who has done extensively research to determine the document's rarity and importance. It has been viewed by Dave Smith of the Walt Disney Archives and deemed authentic. The document includes an outer 9" x 12" folder featuring what appears to be rub on letterings for "DISNEYLAND." Inside the folder are 9 typed pages describing Walt's planned park with descriptions of the different "lands," including some that never came to fruition such as "Lilliputian Land" and "Happy Holiday Land." One page features only the following: "Walt Disney - sometime - in 1955 will present to the people of the world - and children of all ages - a new experience in entertainment. In these pages is proffered a glimpse into this great adventure - a preview of what the visitor will experience – Disneyland." This is an extremely rare document in the history of Walt Disney and has never been reproduced in whole or in part. Although several sources on the Internet reference the document in research and company history, this is the only copy known to exist. Pictured at top, it is expected to fetch $80,000 - $120,000.
Walt Disney's first professional motion picture camera was a hand-crank 35mm Model A. Walt started Laugh-O-Gram Films, Inc. based in Kansas City in 1922. The company used money raised from stock to purchase equipment, including a used Universal camera. The company went on to produce a series of fairy tale cartoons including Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Cinderella and in the spring of 1923, the Alice's Wonderland series which combined live action and animation. During the declining months, Walt and Red Lyon used the Universal camera to shoot news for Pathé and Universal newsreels. When Laugh-O-Gram went bankrupt, Rudolf Ising, Max Maxwell and Hugh Harman-fledgling animators at Laugh-O-Gram-purchased the camera and started their own studio under the name, "Arabian Nights." These three animators later formed the core team at Warner Bros. animation studio, giving this hand-crank 35mm Universal Model A has an impressive lineage, starting with Walt Disney himself. Still in working condition, the camera has "Arabian Nights Cartoons Rudy-Max-Hugh" hand-painted in black on the left panel door. It is certainly worthy of inclusion in the finest animation collections and its importance cannot be overstated. Pictured above, the camera is expected to fetch $30,000 - $50,000.

History: Bathing in Early America
My visit this past weekend to Patrick Henry's home in Beaverdam, VA sparked an interest in investigating the history of bathing in America. We see in a lot of period pieces on TV, the beautiful damsels in their petticoats, and matching parasol, and think she must smell like fresh Lavender. We see the handsome genteel men in their elegant silk, velvet coats and frock and can't imagine how good he must smell. Well, they didn't, they really didn't. Everybody and I mean everybody stank in early America. Some people in that day would carry a scented handkerchief in their sleeve and quickly bring it up to their nose to mask another's BO, blissfully unaware that they themselves stank! Let's just say that the whole of the 13 colonies was afflicted with BO.
Bath stations, bathtubs, & toilets were skimpy back in the day. Most took what I call cat baths, a little dab here and there, and mostly on hands and face. Huh? A few of the better homes had washbasins, and pitchers. The servants would bring in the water which was heated in the kitchen or laundry then lay out fresh dress shirts for the men. The shirts would conceal the sweat flowing on the inside, and keep the gentlemen's outer wear nice and dry & stain free. If you were a woman, clean shifts were provided. But simply having clean underwear wasn't going to keep that BO from escaping. But at least your hands were cleaned, and your face didn't have the nasty stuff we wake up with.
What about those who insisted on bathing? Some had wooden tubs and it'd work fine, but it took work, which brings us up to one reason bathing was a luxury back in the day. The tub had to be lugged from the laundry or wherever it was kept. Water had to be hoisted from the well, and then heated up, and the tub filled. And they were lucky to find some homemade soap around the house to cleanse with. The colonials didn't have towels like we have to today, so they had to find something to use to dry up after the bath. Now, another issue was to find a private area to do take the bath. As you can see, there was much ado which discouraged many. It was considered a luxury really. A few did manage to lavish in this luxury a couple times a year.
We must understand how bathing was seen back in the day to understand as well. For instance, many thought that bathing would destroy your natural oils and leave you wide open to all kinds of diseases. Of course, we know better today. Some colonials bucked the system though, some would take swims in rivers, or lakes, some even in winter. William Bryd II was known to do that in the James River in Virginia, much to his neighbors' chagrin. One man in Williamsburg, VA, St. George Tucker installed the first copper bath. He put the tub in his dairy; the hot water came from the laundry, and the cold water from his well. No lugging the tub in some part of the house, and no hauling water. No sir, Tucker was not going to stink for anything. 🙂
In the New England states bathing was not even a thought. Temperatures dropped low in these states, no one was going to freeze their dirty butts 😛 Colonial America was dirty, but so was the whole of the British Empire at the time. You cannot compare these empires to that of the Roman Empire in terms of cleanliness. Romans lived to bathe. And who wouldn't, their baths were built over hot springs, and spectacularly designed! They had pools which were cool, warm, and had hot water which was fed by wooden or earthenware pipes. Socializing was a big part of bathing in the Roman Empire. Deals were made in these bath houses, politicians made deals with special interest groups, and more. It sounds pretty much like what we have going on in Washington today, only in water.
So the next time you are reading a story that took place around this time, or see a period piece on TV, they may sound and look as if they smelled like roses, but in fact they stank like….fill in the blanks. 🙂

I took a week off work, but I'm going in tomorrow to tell them I won't be returning. the first day I spent off my feet for the most part, resulted in waking up the next day and being able to see my ankle for the first time in about 10 days. Of course, this was the day I had booked an appointment (finally!) to see a professional about my foot. I went to a physiotherapist, as NZ has an "ACC", accident compensation corporation, which covers treatment for any injuries as a result of an accident. (you can't sue people here). Since I slipped in the fridge at work and turned the same foot as well, I put in a claim. Now I get free physio (for the few weeks I am here, anyways) and am relieved to find out it is just a sprain (in two separate places). Good news is she is going to give me some exercises to strengthen my arches as well, since I have flat feet.
On Friday, five of us went to experience some live rugby action. I proceeded to immediately lose hold of my ticket and it blew away. (This is Windy Wellington, after all). It was such a windy night, we moved seats twice to hide from the wind, and I still returned looking totally sunburnt as a result. We did end up leaving 20 mins early because we just were sick of the cold, however Wellington (vs. Southland) was kicking butt so we knew where the game was headed
Yesterday was a day of being annoyed with the hostel staff, as loads of peoples laundry got nicked overnight (the room was broken into) and they were being lazy on getting on it quickly. "We'll take care of it Monday". We went to the police station to file a proper report to help get them in gear, then went out for Hell Pizza, since Stu's friend was down for the weekend. I was just too tired to stay awake for the rugby, but no matter as both of the South Pac teams I would go for got knocked out. I've decided to go for Scotland, which earned me a few dirty looks, considering the people I hang out with the most are all from England! Oops.
Tomorrow, hopefully I will be able to meet up with Heather, a fellow Canadian in new Zealand that I've connected with online, and show her around the city. I also have another physio appt, this time to learn some of the proper exercises. I'm actually really interested in that, since I've never had physio before.

It's becoming ever more obvious that President Obama views the sequester, not as a way to trim out-of-control federal spending, but as a political tool to buy votes and break his enemies. Obama first came up with the sequester idea as a way to bully the Republicans in the debt limit battle. When Republicans decided to embrace the sequester as a way to trim federal growth by about $85 billion a year, Obama switched to using it as a scare tactic, threatening children, elderly people, and veterans. Now that the sequester is in place, Obama is once again trying to manipulate it to his advantage:
According to a report from Fox News, the Obama administration is going for a double whammy – cutting back on the number of inspectors who keep America's food supply safe while simultaneously partnering with the Mexican government to help educate Mexican immigrants about food stamp availability in America:
Salmonella outbreaks. E. coli outbreaks. Millions of dollars in economic losses.
These are among the scenarios the Obama administration warned about last month as it claimed the sequester would force the U.S. Department of Agriculture to furlough meat inspectors.
But while the administration prepares to take that step, it continues to pursue a "partnership" with the Mexican government to "raise awareness" about food stamps among immigrants from that country. When a top Senate Republican proposed cutting off funds for that program last week — in the form of an amendment to a budget resolution — Democrats on the Budget Committee shot it down.
Unless the Obama administration plans to cut down on illegal immigration by exposing Mexican immigrants to salmonella poisoning, this latest example of cuts in one area and greater expenditure in another area is open to one meaning only: Even as Obama threatens those Americans who believe that the government needs to stop spending so much money by putting the American food supply at risk, he's planning to buy future votes from a demographic (Latin American immigrants, illegal or otherwise) that he believes will keep the Democrat Party in power forever.

Mens Rea refers to criminal intent. Moreover, it is the state of mind indicating culpability which is required by statute as an element of a crime. See, e.g. Staples v. United States, 511 US 600 (1994). Establishing the mens rea of an offender is usually necessary to prove guilt in criminal trial. In doing so, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offense with a culpable state of mind. Justice Holmes famously illustrated the concept of intent when he said "even a dog knows the difference between being stumbled over and being kicked."
The mens rea requirement is premised upon the idea that one must possess a guilty state of mind and be aware of his or her misconduct; however, a defendant need not know that their conduct is illegal to be guilty of a crime. Rather, the defendant must be conscious of the "facts that make his conduct fit the definition of the offense."
If a statute specifies a mental state for an offense, courts will usually apply the requisite mental state to each element of the crime. Moreover, even if a statute refrains from mentioning a mental state, courts will usually require that the government still prove that the defendant possessed a guilty state of mind during the commission of the crime. For example, the Supreme Court of the United States instructed that federal criminal statutes without a requisite mental state "should be read to include 'only that mens rea which is necessary to separate" wrongful from innocent conduct.'"
Mental states are usually organized hierarchically by the offender's state of blameworthiness. Generally, the blameworthiness of an actor's mental state corresponds to the seriousness of the crime. For example, the Model Penal Code organizes and defines culpable states of mind into four hierarchical categories: purposeful, knowing, reckless, and negligent. Thus, a crime committed purposefully would carry a more severe punishment than if the offender was merely reckless. The Model Penal Code greatly impacted the criminal codes of a number of states and continues to be influential in furthering discourse on mens rea.
Although mens rea is a required element for most crimes, it is not for strict liability crimes. For a strict liability crime, it is sufficient for the prosecution to prove that the defendant committed the wrongful act. Therefore, a guilty state of mind is irrelevant to a strict liability offense. Examples of strict liability offenses in criminal law include possession and statutory rape. Many commentators criticize convicting defendants under strict liability because of the lack of mens rea. In contrast, the prosecution may applaud the relief from the burden of proving criminal intent.

Grammy predictions? Okay, here you go: Adele, in her first appearance since throat surgery, will wow and astound with her affecting performance, thus moving one step closer to sainthood or even angel wings. Kanye West and/or Jay-Z will have something to say about the lack of respect afforded to hip hop, yo. And Madonna will be the butt of a joke.
Count on a heartfelt festival of emotions, caused not only by Adele's comeback but Paul McCartney's sappy singing of My Valentine; a formal tribute to Etta James; and an informal one to Clarence Clemons, the late Springsteen saxophonist who might be represented by his nephew (Jake) in the Boss's band.
There may well also be fireworks involved, and we're not just talking about the Katy Perry single: A protest involving the trimming of the Grammy categories is brewing; Chris Brown will be in the same room as his assault victim/ex-girlfriend Rihanna; and Brian Wilson will try not to kick sand in the face of his fellow Beach Boys.
As far as winners and losers, all bets are still on, even if no one in Adele's six categories is clearing any space in their trophy cases. With that in mind, here's how things shake down in some of the 79 (down from 109) categories.
Album of the Year
Nominees: Adele's 21, Foo Fighters' Wasting Light, Lady Gaga's Born This Way, Bruno Mars's Doo-Wops & Hooligans, Rihanna's Loud.
Prediction: You lay down 21 in Las Vegas, you win. Same thing in L.A.
Record of the Year
Nominees: Adele's Rolling in the Deep, Bon Iver's Holocene, Bruno Mars's Grenade, Mumford & Sons' The Cave, Katy Perry's Firework.
Prediction: Oh, Adele, why don't we just set up a chair for you onstage. It'll save you walking back and forth from the audience.
Best Rock Album
Nominees: Jeff Beck's Rock 'n' Roll Party Honoring Les Paul, Foo Fighters' Wasting Light, Kings of Leon's Come Around Sundown, Red Hot Chili Peppers' I'm With You, Wilco's The Whole Love.
Prediction: Is it too simplistic to reason that the only entrant here who's also up for album of the year is a sure thing? It is, but that doesn't mean it's a wrong choice. Foo Fighters win.
Best Rap Album
Nominees: Jay-Z and Kanye West's Watch the Throne, Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV, Lupe Fiasco's Lasers, Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
Prediction: Jay-Z's best collaboration this year involved Beyoncé and diapers. The half-timing Madonna can tell Lil Wayne that Roman numbers don't always work out so well. So, not only does Kayne win for MBDTF; he'll cause a scene by insisting he was "robbed" because Throne didn't win.
Best New Artist
Nominees: The Band Perry, Bon Iver, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Skrillex.
Prediction: Because alt-folk artist Justin (Bon Iver) Vernon has spoken out against the concept of music-award shows, you have to wonder if Grammy voters will make it easy for him to stand by his principles. Skrillex sounds like a name for an industrial-strength cleanser, and besides, the dubstep wonder boy has chances in four other categories. So, let's make Mr. and Mrs. Perry happy by giving this award to their country-music offspring – the sweet-singing siblings known as the Band Perry.
Best Blues Album
Nominees: Gregg Allman's Low Country Blues, Marcia Ball's Roadside Attractions, Warren Haynes's Man in Motion, Keb Mo's The Reflection, Tedeschi Trucks Band's Revelator.
Prediction: Not gonna let them catch him, no / Not gonna let them catch him, no / Not gonna let them catch him, no / Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider! Gregg Allman rides away with the statuette.Report Typo/Error

Below is a link to the Armys list of authorized eyewear for combat. If its good enough for soldiers in Afghanistan its good enough for you.
This is a discussion on Eye Protection - What do you recommend? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Hi All! It has been awhile, but I'm back with a question. It seems that I'm in search of a new set of eye protection ...
Hi All!
It has been awhile, but I'm back with a question. It seems that I'm in search of a new set of eye protection as mine are starting to show their age.
They are starting to show some wear and I would like something that will not break the seal on my muffs.
I currently use some older ANSI rated glasses that have no temple arms...they are on a string that tightens around my head and I put them over my muffs. I like the setup as it is very comfortable with no pressure points and it doesn't allow sound into the hearing protection.
I'm looking for anything that will offer minimal seal breakage and pressure points on my head would be great. I'm willing to pay a bit for comfort since I spend a lot of time in them when I'm at the range.
A quick search turned up the ESS Suppressor which looks reasonable, but I haven't found many reviews on them. I'd like to stick with a strap type if at all possible though as this has worked for me in the past.
I care about: Comfort, ability to keep my ear muffs sealed, interchangeable lenses would be nice.
I don't really care what they look like and prefer function to form.
I've seen that a lot of people use WileyX and Oakley, but I they offer a lot of different options and I have no idea where to start so any input from owners would be great. Finally, I just saw the Revision Sawfly as well don't know where they stand in the lineup.
Thanks very much!
ETA: From my quick search it looks like the following may (or may not) fit my needs. Let me know what else you suggest!
ESS Suppressor - Thin temples
Wiley X Saber Advanced - Temples can be replaced with strap
Revision Sawfly - Has strap ETA2: Scratch the sawfly it looks like the temples don't remove for the straps.

Sounds like you're attached to muffs rather than ear plugs, but I personally prefer plugs (which, unless something has changed in the years since I did my homework, had a greater decibal rating than most muffs), than I could wear whatever eye protection was available.

We have reached the half way mark of the 2012 session and I believe the House of Representatives has much to show for our 30 days in Frankfort.
Since January 3rd, we have been hard at work moving legislation through the committee process, working on budget issues within our subcommittees and meeting with constituents and stakeholders on issues of importance to Kentuckians,
FRANKFORT – We have reached the half-way point of the 2012 General Assembly Session. There are daily committee meetings, policy briefings, visits from constituents, and meetings with various advocacy groups.
There is no question that the per pupil spending on youngsters in Bullitt County is below par.
Bullitt County was in a prime position for the first time in many, many years in Frankfort.
The redistricting proposal would give the county two house representatives who would have the vast majority of residents and voters in their territory.
Also, the senate district would be just Bullitt and Nelson, increasing the possibility of having its own senator.
This week Paul Coyle gets into the holiday spirit, expressing his love for Bullitt County.
FRANKFORT– As outdoor winter temperatures drop and the risk for carbon monoxide poisoning increases, Kentuckians are urged to be aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning due to improper use of heating or cooking devices.
Every parent wants their children to succeed in life. Early on, parents can help by making sure that their child can read. And they need to keep them in school. This is the parent's responsibility, but some in Frankfort want to take that responsibility away from them by mandating school attendance until they're 18 years old.
When the General Assembly began the legislative session last month, there was already broad agreement on what the three biggest issues would be: Writing state government's budget; realigning legislative and Kentucky Supreme Court districts; and limiting if not stopping prescription drug abuse.
Last week, the latter two took center stage.

Everyone heals from his or her surgery at a different pace. In most cases, however, you will be restricted to using a walker or crutches for one month after your operation. You will then be allowed to advance to a cane outdoors and no support around the house for several weeks. You will gradually return to normal function without any assistive devices. You will use an assistive device until you can walk without a limp. This usually takes about three months but can take longer.
A dislocation of the hip occurs when the femoral head (ball) comes out of the acetabulum (socket). While the risk is very small, typically less than 2 percent, you are given dislocation precautions to help prevent this from happening.
You should avoid flexing (bending) at the hip more than 90 degrees. Avoid low chairs and furniture because they require too much bending at the hip in order to get up. If you must reach to the floor when seated, always reach between your legs, not to the outside. Use an elevated toilet seat to avoid excessive bending of the hip. If possible, use a chair with arms. The arms provide leverage to push you up to the standing position. When sitting, position your legs so that you can see your inner thigh, calf and foot (not the outside). If your physician orders different precautions, you will be instructed on them by your physical therapist.
Follow your precautions very carefully for the first six weeks. You should avoid extreme positions of the hip flexion (bending) forever.
You may sleep on your operative side whenever you feel comfortable. You may sleep on your nonoperative side at four weeks with a pillow between your knees.
Your stitches are absorbable and do not need to be removed. The Steri-Strips can be kept in place until they fall off on their own. They will help keep the skin edges together. If they have not fallen off after two weeks, it is OK to remove them.
Approximately one week or until there is no drainage from the incision. This should be changed daily to a new, dry sterile gauze. If desired, you may continue to wear a bandage to protect the incision from irritation.
Five days after your operation, as long as there is no drainage present at the incision. (Initially, try to keep the incision dry with plastic wrap.) If it gets wet, pat it dry.
Typically, you should not swim or get in a hot tub for six weeks. However, some surgeons allow their patients to do so after two weeks if there is no drainage. Check with your surgeon.
You will likely require some form of pain medication for about three months. Initially, you will be on a strong oral pain medication (such as a narcotic). Most people are able to wean off their strong pain medication after one month and are able to switch to an over-the-counter pain medication (such as Tylenol or ibuprofen). If you are on Coumadin (warfarin), avoid taking any NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Naprosyn) without first consulting with your internist.
It depends. Most people are able to go home after their operation. However, you may go to a rehabilitation facility in order to gain the skills you need to return home safely. Many factors will be considered in this decision. These include availability of family or friends to assist with daily activities, home environment, safety considerations, postoperative functional status as evaluated by a physical therapist in the hospital and overall evaluation by our hospital team.
Yes! The physical therapist plays a very important role in recovery. You will see a physical therapist soon after your operation and throughout your stay at the hospital. If you go home, you will likely have a therapist come to visit you (usually two to three times a week). Sometimes you will be referred to an outpatient physical therapist. If you go to a rehabilitation facility, you will receive therapy there. Your therapist will keep your surgeon informed of your progress.
You will be instructed by your physical therapist on appropriate exercises and given a list to follow. In general, swimming and stationary bicycles are good exercise options. These should be continued indefinitely even after your recovery is complete. Do not begin using a stationary bike or swimming until four weeks after your surgery or until you have been seen by your surgeon.
It is not uncommon to feel as though your leg lengths are different. Your leg was most likely slightly shorter to begin with as a result of the loss of cartilage. Your surgeon has restored the natural height of your hip during the surgery. In the operating room, leg lengths are accessed very carefully, and an attempt is made to make them as equal as possible. Sometimes, the new hip has to be lengthened in order to obtain proper muscle tension (to help avoid hip dislocation). Wait three months before making any final judgments about your leg length. Your muscles and body take time to adjust to a new hip. In rare cases, a shoe lift may be prescribed for a true difference in leg lengths. In most cases, however, no treatment is necessary.
Generally not for the first two months. However, as everyone's strength varies, consult with your physical therapist before using weights. Use light weights to begin with and gradually progress from 1 pound to a minimum of 5 pounds.
Typically, you will be on Coumadin (warfarin) as a blood thinner. This medication is used to help prevent blood clots. Some surgeons may order a dose of Coumadin the night before surgery and continue you on Coumadin while in the hospital. At the time of your discharge, you will be enrolled in our Coumadin Clinic. They will arrange for you to have blood draws at home. They will then adjust your Coumadin dose for you by phone. You will normally need to be on a blood thinner for four to six weeks. This will be decided prior to your discharge from the hospital. Some surgeons prefer to use an injectable blood thinner. This is something that you will administer yourself at home. Your surgeon will discuss the specifics of this with you prior to your discharge.
Four weeks is usually sufficient. These supplements help your body replenish its iron stores, which may be depleted postoperatively.
If you had surgery on your right hip, you should not drive for at least one month. After one month, you may return to driving as soon as you feel comfortable. If you had surgery on your left hip, you may return to driving as soon as you feel comfortable as long as you have an automatic transmission. Be careful getting into and out of a car, and avoid crossing your operated leg over the other. DO NOT DRIVE IF TAKING NARCOTICS! Some surgeons do not allow their patients to drive until they have seen them back in their office four to six weeks after surgery. Check with your surgeon.
This depends on your profession. Typically, if your work is primarily sedentary, you may return after approximately one month. If your work is more rigorous, you may require up to three months before you can return to full duty. In some cases, more time may be necessary.
You may travel as soon as you feel comfortable. It is recommended that you get up to stretch or walk at least once an hour when taking long trips. This is important to help prevent blood clots.
You may set off the machines at airport security depending on the type of hip implant you have and the sensitivity of the security checkpoint equipment. At your follow-up visit you may ask to have a wallet card to carry with you for travel.
You may return to most activities as tolerated, including walking, gardening and golf. Some of the best activities to help with motion and strengthening are swimming and a stationary bicycle.
You should avoid impact activities, such as running, downhill skiing on expert slopes and vigorous racquet sports, such as singles tennis or squash. In addition, you should avoid any activity that may put your new hip at risk for dislocation.
You should wait several weeks postoperatively before resuming sexual intercourse. Follow your hip dislocation precautions. Having your legs apart is a safe position.
If you are on Coumadin, avoid alcohol intake. Otherwise, use in moderation at your own discretion. You should avoid taking narcotics or other medications.
These should be used for the first several days, particularly if you have a lot of swelling or discomfort. Some surgeons allow the use of heat. Once the initial swelling has decreased, you may use ice or heat. Check with your surgeon.
Yes. Initially, you will lead with your nonoperated leg when going down stairs. You can use the phrase, "Up with the good, down with the bad" to help you remember. As your legs get stronger, you will be able to perform stairs in a more regular pattern (about one month).
Yes, after six weeks. To kneel, touch down with the knee of your operative leg first. To arise from kneeling, use your nonoperative leg first.
Six to 10 weeks after your operation.
Everyone's range of motion varies and depends on individual factors. Your potential will be determined at the time of your surgery. In most cases, you will have enough motion to put on socks and tie your shoes. Clipping toenails may be difficult.
Yes. You will be given a letter explaining this in detail at your first follow-up visit. Avoid any dental cleaning or nonurgent procedures for six weeks postoperatively.
It is not uncommon to have feelings of depression after your hip replacement. This may be due to a variety of factors, such as limited mobility, discomfort, increased dependency on others and medication side effects. Feelings of depression will typically fade as you begin to return to your regular activities. If your feelings of depression persist, consult your internist.
This is a very common complaint following hip replacement surgery. Nonprescription remedies such as Benadryl or melatonin may be effective. If this continues to be a problem, medication may be prescribed to you.
This varies from patient to patient. For each year following your hip replacement, you have a 1 percent chance of requiring additional surgery. For example, at 10 years postoperatively, there is a 90 percent success rate. Newer implants and technologies may have even better success rates.
Follow-up appointments should be made postoperatively at four to six weeks, one year, two years, five years, seven years and ten years.

Investment pro Neal Goldman, president of Goldman Capital Management, picks up growth stocks wherever he can--even in such humdrum businesses as products for home canning and food packaging. His purchase of Jarden (JAH ), a Big Board-listed stock (formerly called Alltrista) has rewarded him well: The stock has bucked the market's precipitous drop--swinging up from 5 a share (post-split) on Sept. 21 to 17.90 on June 12. That's only the start, says Goldman. Based on his 2002 earnings estimate of $1.50 a share, on sales of $400 million, Goldman sees the stock boiling up to 30 in a year--with help from Jarden's purchase of packaging company Tilia. In 2003, earnings should rise to $1.85 a share on $450 million in sales, he says. Jarden made 43 cents a share in 2001 on sales of $305 million. Another appeal of Jarden: Chairman and CEO Martin Franklin is a dealmaker who has bought and sold other companies. Goldman believes Franklin, who says Jarden is a "sleeper," is building up the company to sell later. Goldman owns 5% of Jarden.

The majority of my friends from last semester have gone home, so this semester is all about starting again, making new friends and getting used to the new teachers.
This semester I have far more freedom in terms of choosing subjects that I want to study, and I am particularly excited about taking Chinese culture. Having more electives, means a more varied timetable than before. Last semester, every academic day started at 8:30am and finished at 12:30. Now, I have some days where I have 6 hours of class, and others where I just have 2. I really like this variety. I can pack more into my day, and organise myself a little better. The long days are very tiring, however.
My classmates so far seem very nice. The majority of my classmates are from Asia, this semester, with at least 2 classmates from each of Thailand, Indonesia, Korea and Japan. I think my class was more culturally diverse last semester, but I also like the thought of making more friends who live in countries closer to mine than Europe and America. I have never been to Thailand, but my grandparents go each year, so that could be a good excuse to go one time!
My teachers also seem to be nice as well. They have higher expectations, and speak in a more complex and fast manner than my last teachers, but that is to be expected (and wanted) when moving forward in learning a language.
Pia is turning out to be a fantastic roommate. We work really well together, and we are good at taking turns at paying for things we both use in the room (like water) as well as cleaning. I had heard that living with a friend can be dangerous to the friendship, as you get to know and annoy each other like never before, so I was a little apprehensive about living with someone I already had such a good relationship with, but I needn't have worried, as everything is going very well so far. She is even teaching me a little Spanish, so I will keep you updated on how that is going. At the moment, I can say "How are you", "I am good", and "My name is Amy". Pia will often say regular things to me in Spanish too, like "I'm going to the swimming pool," which I can understand, but cannot say.
This weekend, I went out to a dinosaur museum, to do something completely different. It was interesting, and I liked the scaled models of a few dinosaurs. They also had a 3-D movie of an aquatic dinosaur, which was very old fashioned in that the 3-D glasses weren't cool hipster-like glasses, but they were paper ones with red and blue cellophane over the lenses.
I also tried out a Chinese food court in a busy market place. Getting a table there was harder than getting a park at a shopping center during Christmastime. We even employed the 'stalking' technique, which was just awkwardly standing in front of people who looked like they were close to finishing. They had no bins around, but just cleaners who would do the rounds of the place, picking up the rubbish. Unfortunately they were not fast enough to keep up with the demand, so most people were eating in amongst other people's leftovers and empty packets. The food was actually pretty good. When I think of a food court, I think of McDonald's, KFC, Subway and other franchises, but in China, they think of those places as a 'restaurant', and everything in the food court were independent businesses selling soup, noodles, dumplings and rice dishes.
I had a very busy and exciting week. I'm still getting used to the little things about Beijing, like having to jump out of the way of a moving car when walking on a footpath, but that is what makes this whole experience so incredibly unique.

Southern Cross's stake in Austereo rose to about 55 per cent yesterday when the latter's largest shareholder,
Southern Cross, which owns regional radio and television stations, yesterday extended the deadline for acceptances from April 6 to April 12.
Southern Cross is offering Austereo shareholders $2 a share, plus a December 2010 half dividend of 5¢ and another 10¢ a share if it reaches 90 per cent of Austereo, which includes the capital city radio stations 2Day, 3Fox, Triple M, B105 and SAFM.
The alternative offer is 0.95 Southern Cross shares, plus the dividend and 10¢ payment. Based on Southern Cross's closing share price yesterday, the shares and cash offer was worth $1.72.
Southern Cross chief financial officer Stephen Kelly said the deadline for acceptances was extended to help the company reach the 90 per cent level, which would then trigger the compulsory acquisition of the rest of Austereo.
Mr Kelly said Southern Cross chief executive
He said new information about the merged company would be included in the prospectus for the $495 million capital raising that is part of Southern Cross's funding for the deal. The timing of the raising was dependent on when Southern Cross, which is 26.6 per cent owned by
Mr Kelly said the Southern Cross prospectus would not include an organisational chart.
"We're talking about two great assets and we're not going to rush into making decisions," he said.
Media executives speculated Mr Harvie would be chairman of the merged business, allowing Southern Cross executive chairman
The bidder's statement released by Southern Cross last month said a merger would generate between $12 million and $15 million of "annual synergies and operational improvements" by 2013-14. The statement did not spell out the new revenue Southern Cross expected to book by merging with Austereo.
But it said a merger would "create value . . . by unlocking growth opportunities from combining the two complementary businesses".
RBS equities analyst Ashley Wallace said there was "potential for meaningful upside from revenue synergies as a result of selling a national audience to advertisers".

May 30, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Senior Ashley Lane (Escondido, Calif./Escondido) and freshman Sierra Romero (Murrieta, Calif./Vista Murrieta), of the No. 7-ranked University of Michigan softball team, were each named to National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-America teams this week (May 29), with Romero elected to the second team and Lane voted onto the third team -- both as at-large selections.
Romero had a breakout season and was named the Big Ten Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. She was just the second player in conference history to do so, following former U-M player Sara Griffin's dual awards during her 1995 rookie season. Romero set a new single-season home run record at Michigan with 22, and is leading the team in numerous other offensive categories including runs batted in (69), slugging (.846), runs (66), and is third in hits (62). She is currently batting .383 with 11 doubles and two triples. Romero started all of Michigan's 61 games and was named All-Big Ten first team at shortstop.
Romero is the first freshman since former U-M player Amanda Chidester in 2009 to earn All-America second team honors. She was also named Big Ten Player of the Week twice (March 25, April 8) and Freshman of the Week seven times (Feb. 11, March 4, March 25, April 1, April 8, April 15, May 7).
Lane picked up her second All-America distinction following a second-team citation as a sophomore in 2011. She is the 16th Wolverine to earn multiple All-America honors.
The senior second baseman is having her best season offensively. She is batting .371 -- a new career high -- and equaled a career best of 18 home runs (previously: 2011). She has 60 runs batted in and is currently slugging .694. Lane moved up from seventh to fourth on U-M's career home run list this season (47) and is two home runs from moving into third place (former U-M player Jessica Merchant with 49). She is also now fifth on the career RBI list with 171. Her career slugging percentage of .615 ranks fourth all-time. Lane swiped a career-high seven bases and provided steady leadership at second base. Lane was also named All-Big Ten first team at second base.
This is the 16th season multiple Wolverines earned spots on NFCA All-America teams, the last coming in 2011 (Lane along with former players Chidester, Jordan Taylor and Bree Evans). Lane and Romero were two of five Big Ten Conference players to earn All-America honors.
Michigan begins play in the Women's College World Series today (May 30) against No. 1 Oklahoma at 8:30 p.m. CDT at the ASA Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City, Okla. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

With this blog and other communications I am reaching out to all Trinity alumnae and friends in Japan, extending our prayers and messages of concern, offers of whatever help we can give at this time. If you are in Japan please post a comment to this blog to let us know how you are doing.
Notre Dame Seishin University is Trinity's sister school in Okayama. The Sisters of Notre Dame founded Seishin in 1949 as the first and only women's college in that part of Japan. I had the pleasure of visiting Seishin in 1995 as well as the Notre Dame Junior College in Hiroshima. In those days students from Seishin came to Trinity to learn English, and sometimes Trinity graduates went to Japan to teach ESL. Unfortunately, the downturn in the Japanese economy in the late 1990's ended this exchange. However, many Trinity alumnae as well as Sisters of Notre Dame, not only Japanese but also Americans and other nationalities, continue to live and work in Japan.
The terrible crisis in Japan — earthquake, tsunami, nuclear meltdown — is unimaginable to those of us who live in the relatively placid landscape of the east coast of the U.S. Our most pressing concerns today seem to be which teams will be invited to the NCAA tournament, whether the NFL will go on strike, or if an iPad2 is worth the investment. While we consider disaster drills mostly in the event of some unfathomable terrorist act, the idea of a natural disaster in Washington is generally limited to threats of snow accumulation.
In an instant, in that part of northern Japan most affected by the disaster, life for hundreds of thousands of people changed irrevocably. Even in parts of that nation far from the quake zone, the aftershocks — physical, psychological, economic, social — will go on for years. Worldwide debate will surge on the safety of nuclear power plants. Speculation about earthquake dangers to the West Coast of the U.S. will intensify. Global economic indicators will monitor tremors from Japan's efforts to recover from this devastation.
At Trinity, we might not be able to do much about any of that, and we might even feel somewhat distant from this news unfolding halfway around the world. But we have Japanese alums and friends, and American alums in Japan, and sister schools that may need our help in ways we cannot imagine today. So, we reach out with concern and condolence, mindful as well that we have many blessings here that we can share with those in need.
What else can Trinity do to provide aid to Japan right now? Please click on the comment link below to offer your ideas, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Although San Francisco's Two Gallants may confine themselves on paper in the indie folk artists' box, their live performance on Monday night could have put several metal heads' shows to shame. The lone duo, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Adam Stephens and drummer Tyson Vogel, overtook the Bowery Ballroom, deafening the audience with their indie folk-rock sound, making sure the fans would have trouble hearing their alarm clocks for work in the morning.
Opening band Papa warmed up the crowd with its bass-heavy melodic rock. Bassist Daniel Presant captured the crowd's attention with his bouncy basslines and twitchy movements while singer/drummer Darren Weiss crooned to the audience the romantic (sometimes sexy) lyrics. The addition of electronic clanking sounds of the keyboard and melodic guitar riffs made it hard for anyone's body to resist moving.
After a hectic intermission involving a comedic scene of Two Gallants' members scurrying all over the stage with the crew assistants to clear Papa's equipment, all that remained in the dim blue light was a drum set, a guitar and two bearded, gallant men. The band opened with "Winter's Youth" off of its latest album, The Bloom And The Blight. As Stephens lulled the audience into a trance with the song's calming melody, he and Vogel instantaneously shattered the hushed atmosphere with a blood-curdling scream and thundering snare drum hits, turning the crowd into a sea of head bangers. Following with "Despite What You've Been Told," the band's hard-rock intensity didn't waver for the rest of the night.
During the set up for "Las Cruces Jail," Vogel joked with the audience about drummers playing shirtless. When a crowd member asked him to take off his shirt to see his scrawny bod, he replied, "Play drums shirtless? Fuck that! Shirts all the way!" He, however, responded positively to another sartorial request, promising to take his pants off. Sadly for this one fan, he did not come through with this promise.
Finishing their setlist drenched in sweat, Two Gallants took the time-honored leave of absence to let the audience roar with cheers and applause for an encore. To say that the audience bellowed with applause for the band would be a gross understatement. Finally Stephens (still attempting to dry himself with a towel) and Vogel reemerged from backstage to play a three-song encore, starting with dirty, porno-fitting "Dyin' Crap Shotter's Blues." One fan requested this song so many times throughout the entire show that the band felt practically obligated to grant his wish. Following was the intimate "Cradle Pyre," which was heightened by the mesmerizing effect of the blue-and-yellow lighting that covered the venue.
Before closing the night with the uplifting "Nothing To You," several audience members joked with Vogel, asking whether or not he truly "rages" (referring to his T-shirt, which said, "I wanna rage" and had a Care Bear on it). He grinned and hollered to the crowd, "We rage every fucking night! Can't you tell?" On cue, Stephens began strumming the melodic guitar riff to the closing number, transforming the Bowery Ballroom into an Irish pub, with everyone dancing together and singing their lungs out.
