2011 BMW 3 Series Sedan - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2011 BMW 3 Series 335i xDrive 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
ReviewThis is my 48 hr review of the car.
I have only had it 2 days I can only rate it based on my current experience.
I have owned a '98 328i and a '05 330ix, both I have loved.
Both manual trans and were extremely reliable.
I would highly suggest getting a manual to take advantage of the torque curve.
The automatic, though fine, lags a little bit in my opinion because it wants to downshift if you stomp on the accelerator.
In a manual, with the 300 fps starting at 1200 rpms, you have the power to climb a hill in any gear so you don't necessarily have to down shift.
I bought this with nearly every package and option available.
Definitely buy this with the M sports package.
Best FeaturesThe I drive system is very intricate. It greatly improves a drivers experience and you can fine tune how the car operates down to the chirp with the door unlocks. But there is a learning curve to it, take your time to get to know it. The blue tooth is very nice. I use a Droid 2 and I just have to enter the car with my phone and it automatically pairs up. The M sports package with the improved steering wheel makes for a very comfortable and confident steering feel. The bucket seats hug me perfectly and I don't slide around in a tight turn. The short shift kit it comes with is wonderful Comfort access, I just have to touch the door handle to enter or lock the door. Power and handling.
Worst FeaturesThe I drive is very intricate. I have not compared it to another vehicle by personal use, but observationally it seems they could improves this via a touch screen display. Other than that as I have only been using it for 2 days, I am just getting used to how it operates and I am sure I will be just as happy with the way the UI stands as it is. After TTL I paid 66k for this car. Mind you I added pretty much every option, including a mechanical rear sun shade. You can find this for a lot less and if you do not need to finely tune an experience, drop the I drive, the convenience packages. I did add the extended mechanical warranty as well. Without the warranty and tax it listed out at 57k

Additional add on. After owning this for about a month and now tacking on 1200 miles and breaking in the car I feel I can put my final two cents in. I have been getting to know the iDrive system a bit more and do still like it. However it does provide a bit of distraction while driving to operate the phone, CD player, radio or navigation (safely I might add). There are shortcuts but it still takes the eyes off the road. There are voice commands for nearly all functions but I have not set them up yet. Take your time to get used to it. Read the manual and while someone else drives try to work the system to understand what you might have to do while driving yourself. One negative point I have is that I cannot (or haven't been able to find a way) to label a CD album I have uploaded. Some albums do not automatically come with information burned into it so it just comes up as Audio CD/Track 1....2 etc. I have uploaded several albums like this and it is a bit annoying not knowing the difference. I love the M sport seats with the side supports that are electronically adjusted. Apparently in the M5 they move on their own depending on how hard you corner but I have not seen or felt this happen on my 3 series with M seats. However, that additional mechanical adjustment really helps conform any body shape to the seat. The fuel economy is very nice for how powerful the car is. The computer is saying I am getting 19 in the city and I do tend to push the car. Outside of a few issues like the setting/timing of the intermittent wipers and no DC outlet on the dashboard for accessories like dashboard mounted electronics I love this car. The DC outlet is in the center console under the arm rest for your phone but not having one for a dashboard accessory is a fail IMO. The manual shows a cigarette plug for the ash tray infront of the shifter and two in back under the air vent and the back of the center console. But none are on my model. Other than that I love love love my car. I have no regrets buying it and love every option that I put into it. Although it added 15k to my price tag, it was worth it. Doing it all over again I am not sure what I would leave out because I use all the options on a regular basis.Report it

Ok, me again. This is my 15K+ review. I have owned this car for about 6 months. I have had very little problems with it. One or two very minor electrical issues. Pretty much is was a solenoid that did not effect the car other than a warning light. Replaced under warranty. The one beef I have is the navigation is horse doodoo. The only way to get the Idrive is to have the navigation. 2012 on it seems the Idrive is standard and navigation is extra. I wish I could have done it like this. Although I still probably would have bought the navigation anyway only to be writing this review about it. It can send me to the wrong place. You ask it to take you to the airport and it brings up 12 addresses and the one you select can be some arbitrary hanger on a public side road well away from the main terminal. Even though you can select a route (quickest, shortest or most efficient), it still might not be the one you want to take. The other big thing that is coming up for me is if you have two highways/freeways merging together. IE the 280 in the Bay Area. The 101 will merge into it then off of it. While on the 280 it will say that you are on the 101, then back on the 280. And when the turn by turn directions are running, it will seem like it wants you to merge onto the 101, you do so, going across 6 lanes of bumper bumper traffic only to find out you needed to stay on the 280. Voice navigation on it sucks. This has ruined many dates for me. I wish I could explain this better. I can't compare it to others, but I probably will get a hand held device or google maps on a cell phone with navigation pretty much has always gotten me there better. Everything else with the car is awesome. People love it. In 6th gear it wont falter in speed as it climbs up steep hills, even with cruise on. Oh, the subwoofer under the front passenger seat seems to rattle under heavy heavy bass. Seems universal so pay attention and get it replaced under warranty. Still no regrets with this car. I would buy it again for sure. For CA I probably would have gone with the two door IS with the M steptronic shifter just to help with driving in traffic instead of having the Manual that I have. That it, write a comment if you have any questions.Report it

agree that the Navigation can be sub-par. I updated to 2013 by obtaining the memory stick for about $45 and then reaching out to someone in cyberspace for the code, another $55. MUCH CHEAPER! With regard to navigation, my system used to read the street addresses but with upgrade that happens much less! The 2011 version was dated and many streets/POI missing. This has been addressed, somewhat, with the 2013 upgrade. I did happen to find a huge benefit to the NAV and this is searching by NAME (A to Z). So you can just type COSTCO and find the nearest one instead of searching through shopping and going down the list. I also use GOOGLE MAPS to email a destination directly to the BMW. This is great! When in GOOGLE MAPS, simply enter the address and click MORE then SEND and then SEND TO YOUR CAR. When you bought the car, your email was registered to the BMW, which enables this feature. It's awesome to enter the car and check your messages and voila! The address is there and you simply click START GUIDANCE! There are educational BMW videos on the BMW website that provide that info and more. I enjoy the iDrive...18months and $19k miles, 21.9mgp and I ONLY USE REGULAR GAS. Have fun!Report it

This is an add on by the reviewer. I have one complaint about the I drive. So far using the navigation it will give accurate and reliable directions. However, it will not tell you what street to turn onto. It will simply tell you to "turn right in 500 ft" then "turn right" once you traverse that distance. I am not aware of an upgrade to that. After approximately two weeks and 500 mi of driving, I am still learning the I drive. How to navigate through the menus back and forth is a little tricky. However I still like the higher level of the UI. I am uploading my audio cd's to the hard drive and the play back is beautiful. It takes about 3 min for it to fully upload a full audio CD into its HD It is getting nearly 18 mpg in the city per the trip computer. But in my last two cars it over compensated by a one or to mpg based on my math of gas used per miles traveled. I have not tested this in this current car as I have only filled it a couple times. I have only used non oxygenated gas in it and that is all I will add to it. Find what gas stations have it and enter it as a saved destination in your gps just in case you run a bit low and can't drive to your favorite station. I have at least 3 saved in different parts of the city. I am also only using a soft cloth car wash which is recommended by the manufacturer. Watch your car wash because a lot use the track to pull a car through, this can damage low profile tires like on the M sports package. I will say this again, based on my experience and although I do like the I drive, if you don't need it, don't get it. Save the money. But if you can afford it, want to store a bunch of MP3s and have a much higher level of interaction with your car, do it. But it is a bit more complicated. Otherwise I absolutely love this car and so does everyone else. One more thing. I paid 63k for this car and not 66kReport it

blower idle rpm problem
Hi everybody,
my friend just bough a truck with a 6-71 blower. he bough this truck from an old man...the guy never built up this motor and nobody know what this motor is made with. The only thing we know is:
- 396 big block chevy cubic inches, probably bored to 40 thousand.
- hydraulic (sealed power cam) with those spec:
cam number CS 175R
Intake Exaust
duration at 0.50 222 235
duration 306 322
lift 500 505
lobe center 110 120 ???
- 2 vacuum 650 holley carburetor
- 6-71 blower (probably 15 or little more years old)
- a very old point distributor with a accel external coil
- We see oval port head
- And the most bizarre thing, the upper and lower blower pulley have 35 teeth, so it's mean this blower have 1:1 ratio
Our problem is: When we start the blower when the motor is cold or hot..we are not able to let him stay at idle, the rpm goes up from 900 rpm to 1800 at neutral position and he down to 900 and up to 1800 rpm....we where thinking about a vacuum leak problem...so we where replacing all the gasket of this blower....We where setting the initial timming to 20 degre and total at 32 at 3000 rpm.....
WHEN the truck is in drive position and drive it around the street, we are not able to stay the idle at 900 rpm...he always want to die...and he make allot of backfire and after the backfire...the motor dead at 0 rpm....I know it's not a timming problem we set it at 32 degre total...
After this, we where restarting the motor and he made the same problem..the only difference is when we put the rpm more than 1800, the motor goes really weel, no up and down rpm..and the throttle respond very well...but if we dont touch the gaz pedal, the rpm goes up and down again...
What is the problem...we really need help fast....
We really dont know what to do...and we have no blower shop around here where we can asked question (we live in quebec, canada).....
Plz...anybody have comment, advice or trick...or question they can ask to us to solve this problem...
ANOTHER QUESTION, WHAT HAPPEN TO A MOTOR IF THE BLOWER RATIO IS 1:1, DOES IT MEAN THAT THE BLOWER DOESN'T WORK WELL, i MEAN, THE BLOWER GIVE TO THE MOTOR NOT ENOUGHT BOOST OR AIR TO MAKE BIG POWER...WHAT IS UNDERDRIVE???
If I put a 38 lower pulley to make 6 % underdrive, what will be the psi...this motor will be take this psi (if this motor have a stock bottom end)...
Can it be an electrical problem?? I mean not engouh spark....or volt to the spark plug?
Can it be a fuel pump problem..this motor have a mechanical holley fuel pump...can it be the problem at low rpm..i mean the pump dont give enough fuel.....
Another thing, the truck have a th400 transmission with a stock stall...this is good or not??? We have no more information on the cam.....
Can it be a intake gasket problem..i mean if air goes by the intake gasket, is this possible to be the problem....
Heeeeeeeeeellllllllpppppppppppppppppppppp usssssssss
nobody can help me???? I really need help and faster as possible.... The guy who have the truck/blower become nervous....
Chevy man forever!

Employee Equity - Sam Altman
Jared Sperli stashed this in startup
Stashed in: YCombinator, Asana, Business, @sama
First, I think employee stock and options should usually not be transferrable. It causes considerable problems for companies when employees sell their stock or options, or pledge them against a loan, or design any other transaction where they agree to potentially let someone else have their shares or proceeds from their shares in the future in exchange for money today.
I think it's fair that if founders sell stock, they should offer an opportunity to employees that have been at the company for more than a certain number of years to sell some portion of their shares. And some companies offer an employee liquidity program even when the founders don't sell any shares themselves. But otherwise, I think it's reasonable for employees to wait for an acquisition or IPO.
Second, I think it's time to consider other vesting ideas. The standard at startups is 4 years with a 1-year cliff. So you get 25% of your options after you've been there for a year, and 62.5% if you leave after 2.5 years.
It's possible that 4 years is now too short—companies are often worth more than they were 10 years ago, but they take longer to reach liquidity. I've seen some startups offer 5 or 6 year vesting schedules. To compensate for this, they offer above-market grants.
Another structure I've seen is back-weighted vesting. For example, 10% of the grant vests after the first year, and then 20%, 30%, 40% in the following years. Again, the startups I know that do this tie it to above-market grants, and I think it helps them select for employees that really believe in the company and want to be there for a long time. (Also, companies that have vesting schedules like this usually do it for founders too.)
Finally, a third structure I've seen is a new way of thinking about refresher grants. For a company using options, it's nice to grant employees options early while the strike is low. It's possible to give "forward-dated grants"—i.e., you can give a high-performing employee a refresher grant today where 1/3 of it starts vesting immediately and the other 2/3 starts vesting when their initial grant is fully vested. This guarantees them a low-strike price and presumably a relatively large grant in a few years. Dustin Moskovitz at Asana does something like this, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

Can I add a big
I'm so sick of all our domestics being anti diesel. Instead we have to come up with this highly complicated hybrid system that is going to prevent DIY in the future. In fact, I've come to believe that no manufacturer is interested in anyone working on their own vehicle, and they are moving towards making it completely impossible. We'll see how that plays out if no programmers ever surface for the new Foci. Ford already makes it horribly difficult by changing engine and transmission housing patterns regularly so that nothing bolts up unless you do a ton of research. This is nothing new for them, and it might take me back to GM again- if they ever get their act together. The lack of a small 4 cyl turbo diesel is making me seriously lean towards VW- especially now that there is a plant here in TN, although I don't really want that big of a car. Another thing that's making me lean towards them: you can get a high trim level without being stuck with no transmission choices. I swear the first domestic 4 cyl turbo diesel that comes out will be my next auto purchase- unless I already have a VW.
I think I've written about this several times on here, but here's another link (
)to piss everyone off at domestic manufacturers who allowed Toyota to take over the hybrid market, and hybrid technology instead of using the results from experiments that TAXPAYERS gave them money for. Apparently being an American manufacturer means being stuck in your ways and never looking towards the future- it's all me me me now now now, give me tax breaks or I'll cut jobs blah blah blah.

text: Petrarch and the Petrarchan Tradition in Renaissance Literature and Thought Francesco Petrarca, ca.1450 by Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla Petrarch and Laura, 1842 by Nicaise de Keyser (Flemish) Statue (19th century) of Petrarch, outside Uffizi Gallery, Florence Humanist Thought in the Early Renaissance A Context for Petrarch: Norton C, 2465-72 What are some of the important features of the Renaissance? What broad changes in religion did the Renaissance witness? What are some important inventions of the Renaissance? What are some features that characterize the individual in Renaissance thought? What is "humanism"? What is "Renaissance melancholy"? What is lyric poetry? What "is" the Renaissance? "Renaissance" is French for re-birth The "Renaissance" a term typically used to refer to a period in Early Modern Europe spanning approximately 1350 to 1650 Shift in the vocabulary: "early modern" (1350-1800CE) to emphasize continuity of ideas Different countries experienced their Renaissance at different times. Generally, the trend was northward. Italy's Renaissance (14th century) occurred well before England's Renaissance (16th century). The Renaissance is better understood through its features. Important features of the Renaissance? The Renaissance is conventionally understood as a flowering of the arts... that emerged from "the questing, self-conscious individual" (Damrosch 149)... who actively explored—and thus created—the self and the world in which the self exists (Pasinetti and James 2468). Hence—the Reniassance encounter with the self A "shift toward internal, mental, and psychological portraiture" (2465) "characters...enjoy greater autonomy and more fully realized personalities" (2465) "Deliberating with others and themselves about what to do seems at least as important...as putting their plans into action" (2465) What are some important features of the Renaissance? "Renaissance authors, like the characters they invent, inhabited a world of such widespread revolutionary change that they could not passively receive the traditional wisdom of previous ages" (Pasinetti and James 2465). In addition to—and influencing the nature of—the flowering of the arts, great changes were occurring during the Renaissance in the areas of: Religion Technology and Science World Exploration and Discovery Bureaucratic and Institutional Power Economic and Social Power These changes were highly interrelated. Revolutionary Changes in Technology & Science The map of the world was being redrawn; by 1632, explorers had traveled to the western coast of South America The world's "center" was no longer a function of religious power and primacy, but subordinated to "mathematical precision" (Damrosch 151). New inventions—like Galileo's telescope, Gutenberg's printing press, and important means of navigation—made the "previously unthinkable" eminently possible. The quadrant enabled ships to travel from Europe to India and the New World (Damrosch 157). But gunpowder was also a new technology frequently put to use in less unifying ways (Damrosch 156). Influx of ancient knowledge from the Middle East reinvigorated engineering, architecture, science, and so on. Many of the greatest buildings in Europe were erected during this period, often to celebrate earthly powers and "the dignity of man." Revolutionary Religious & Social Changes This is a period of religious divisiveness. Violent protests about religion occurred, sparking Martin Luther's Reformation (of the Catholic Church and its means of maintaining absolute power over the people). Many religious sects left to find colonies and schools in other parts of the world; "These new wanderings were concerted efforts to win souls for Christ and to acquire gold, bread baskets, and new subjects for Europe's sovereign states" (Damrosch 151). This also created uncertainty and debate, which we'll read about. Such divisiveness was a part of the age's "preoccupation with this life rather than with the life beyond" (2468). "For Renaissance intellectuals and for the literary characters they created, there was almost literally no firm ground to stand on as they moved through life in an increasingly complex and uncertain world" (2466). Religious & Social Changes Such "preoccupation with this life rather than with the life beyond" (2468) meant that in general, "the presence of God...is conspicuously less dominating" (2469) in the literature of the period. See: "the dignity of man" and humanity's "privileged position in creation" (2471) More accurately, artists and intellectuals were struggling with "the conflict between the values of worldly goods and...the religious conviction in the transitory nature of earthly possessions" (2469). The value of acquisition, its effects on self, neighbor, society here and elsewhere. This divisive and uncertain "religious temper of the age is expressed in its art," where the earthly and the spiritual are often intermixed (2470). Petrarch's poems, for instance, reflects a complex treatment of earthly and spiritual desire. "The Printing Press as an Agent of Change" (E. Eisenstein) The printing press was "an instrument for intellectual deliberation and the dissemination of ideas" (Pasinetti and James 2466). In fact, the invention of the printing press facilitated the religious divisiveness of the Early Modern period. Spurring the Reformation and much cultural and religious divisiveness, the printing press also allowed people to participate in a "republic of letters" (Pasinetti and James 2467). With the expanded availability of the press came education and increasing levels of literacy. Men and women could publish their works, something unthinkable before the advent of print. For many more people, writing became "simply one aspect of…daily activities" (Damrosch 159). Public circulation of literature fueled the emerging sense of self we call "Renaissance individualism". So... How can we understand this historical & cultural context? What are some of the important features of the Early Modern period? Worldly Goods Artistic Invention Arts Urbanization Merchant Classes Bureaucratiza tion of the state Invention Re/discovery Renaissance Melancholy Trade Balance of Power Travel/ Explor ation Humanism: Spiritual Dignity of Human Work Increasing Individualism Religious Divisiveness Spiritual Goods The Ambassadors, by Hans Holbein (1533) In what ways does this painting encapsulate the Renaissance? The Renaissance Individual Deliberate encounter with the self—and with the other as other self, both like and unlike me. The Renaissance individual characterized by "a singularly high capacity for feeling the delight of earthly achievement" (2471), and literature of the period delves in to the sensuous pleasures—and the questions—of individual, earthly experience. This is in contrast with the ideal individual of the Medieval period who sees life on earth as mere preparation for the eternal life after death (2468) Attention to the here-and-now reflected in the "Renaissance code of behavior" (2468); our manners and the specific form of our actions carry meaning Balance of power began to move towards the cities: urbanization, commerce, conversation and exchange of ideas Humanism "Renaissance" connotes "a general notion of artistic creativity, of extraordinary zest for life and knowledge, of sensory delight in opulence and magnificence, of spectacular individual achievement" (2466). "The Renaissance assumption is that there are things highly worth doing, within a strictly temporal pattern [namely, the proper exercise of political power, the act of scientific discovery, the creation of works of art]. By doing them, humanity proves its privileged position in creation..." (Pasinetti and James 2471). The phrase "the dignity of man" refers to "this positive, strongly affirmed awareness of the intellectual and physical 'virtues' of the human being, and of the individual's place in creation" (2471). Specifically, spectacular individual human achievement, most frequently visible in human productions—the arts and sciences, the "classics" that were "reborn" after the so-called Dark Ages "The people who, starting at about the middle of the fourteenth century, gave new impulse to this emulation of the classics are often referred to as humanists." "The word...is related to what we call the humanities, and the humanities at that time [referred to the study of] Latin and Greek" texts (2467). Renaissance Melancholy "The Renaissance coincided with, and perhaps to some extent occasioned, a loss of firm belief in the final unity and the final intelligibility of the universe" (2471) With the profound belief in the capacity and ability of the individual, and the delight in earthly accomplishment, there comes the question of "its ultimate worth" (Pasinetti and James 2471) If the here-and-now is held up as the proper province of human study and action, then how do we judge the value and purpose of "all this activity"? "Once the notion of this grand unity of design has lost its authority, certainty about the final value of human actions is no longer to be found. For some minds...the sense of void becomes so strong as to paralyze...aspiration to power, thirst for knowledge, or delight in beauty"--this paradox results in an attitude often referred to as "Renaissance melancholy" (2471) Also results in a "modern sense of alienation" (2476), as experienced by Petrarch—he is an alienated, isolated voice speaking into a void, trying to capture some concrete idea but always failing—beautifully. The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621), by Robert Burton The Anatomy is a vast tome that, under the metaphor of the self as world, discusses the whole of human thought and emotion. Burton's interests range from medicine, love, and philosophy to monsters, geography, and exploration. He uses all the scientific and philosophical topics of the Renaissance to help him understand himself. He rewrote and revised throughout his life. Its first edition was around 900 pages, and its digressive, sprawling style—reminiscent of Montaigne's— suggests that the book, its writer, and its readers were conversing with each other. A grand example of Renaissance humanism—its highs, and its lows. Francesco Petrarca (Petrach) 1304-1374 Contemporary of Dante and Boccacio (late Medieval period) But considered the first modern poet and the "Father of Humanism" Most famous for his lyric poetry in the vernacular (Italian, rather than Latin, important because more people could read and understand—not just the educated, scholastic elite) Set the standard for Renaissance lyric poetry, which is primarily characterized by a desire to interrogate and understand the self, the human—this same desire also visible in his letters and essays "Petrarch bequeathed to later humanists the hope that scholarpoets might one day be recognized as shaping forces of the nation-state" (Pasinetti and James 2476). Lyric Poetry The word "lyric" comes from the word "lyre," a musical instrument lyric poetry is known for its musicality and particularly its poetic exploration of interiority. Unlike narrative or epic poetry, lyric poetry does not tell a story in the conventional sense—though there is content to the poems. Lyric poetry tends to be more impressionistic than plot-based, focusing on states of being rather than outcomes. Sometimes, but not always, the spiritual and the earthly (the numinal and the physical) are mingled in lyric poetry. A technique central to humanist thought and methodology, this mingling of the numinal and the physical it is not only present in Western poetry, but in Eastern lyric poetry as well (the bakhti or devotional poems of Tukaram and Kabir, for instance). Lyric Poetry Important forms of lyric poetry are sonnets (which themselves come in different forms), odes, and elegies. The sonnet tradition is perhaps most central to the development of lyric poetry in the Renaissance. Francis Petrarch, an Italian poet often called the "Father of Humanism" (fl.1300s), popularized the sonnet form with his Rime Sparse (or "scattered rhymes"; also called Fragments in the Vernacular), a sequence of lyric poems mingling spiritual love with earthly love in which the poetic speaker praises his beloved, Laura. Petrarch's sonnets tried to represent human love in human terms—using spiritual themes, but in the service of explaining or examining something earthly. He is often celebrated for his use of lyric realism—"realistic" only insofar as it contrasts with the highly conventional and often clichéd language frequently used by courtly poets and troubadours, which depended on traditional and formulaic expressions (and variations from them) in order to convey meaning. By Shakespeare's time, though, even Petrarch would seem clichéd. Petrarch was highly influential, and his innovations became hallmarks of Renaissance humanism. Lyric Poetry Less absolute in its conventions, Renaissance lyric poetry depends for its meaning on evocative and unexpected associations between images, words, and ideas. Such poetry cultivates an intimate relationship between the poem, the poet, and the reader. Often uses the first person (me, the self) Petrarchan motifs and themes: Love that burns, love that destroys; The uncertain self, the self at odds with himself; Beloved is idealized, more than human, angelic; Earthly love is spiritualized, spiritual love is embodied. "The Ascent of Mount Ventoux" Genre: slightly fictionalized letter What, most broadly, happens in this letter? What story does it tell? A motif is a repeated image that seems to have an important resonance in the text. What important motifs can you find in this letter? Why do you think Petrarch take the winding path? Petrarch calls this choice a "mistake" (2481) that he made "three times." In what ways might the choice not be a mistake, but a good thing? What important features of Renaissance thought are evident in this letter? Keeping those important features of Renaissance thought in mind, return to the motifs you discovered. What might these motifs be metaphors for? Why do you think the letter is a good genre or form for this writing? You might start by considering what a letter is. Petrarch, Rime 78 Quando giunse a Simon l'alto concetto ch'a mio nome gli pose in man lo stile, s'avesse dato a l'opera gentile colla figura voce ed intellecto, di sospir' molti mi sgombrava il petto, che ciò ch'altri à piú caro, a me fan vile: però che 'n vista ella si mostra humile promettendomi pace ne l'aspetto. Ma poi ch'i' vengo a ragionar co llei, benignamente assai par che m'ascolte, se risponder savesse a' detti miei. Pigmalïon, quanto lodar ti dêi de l'imagine tua, se mille volte n'avesti quel ch'i' sol una vorrei. Petrarch, Rime 78 Simone Martini (fl. 1315-1344) The Annunciation and Two Saints (detail, "Mary") 1333 Tempera on wood Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence While Martini's portrait of Laura has been lost, the painter's stylistic signature is consistent. This image of the Virgin Mary suggests how Martini might have painted the Laura of Petrarch's rimes. Petrarch, Rime 78 Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) Pymalion and Galatea, c. 1890 Oil on Canvas Metropolitan Museum of Art In Rime 78, Petrarch invokes the classical image of Pygmalion from Ovid's Metamorphoses: "Pygmalion, how glad you should be of your statue" (9). The poetic speaker goes on to clarify why Pygmalion should be "glad" of his creation, arguing that the mythological artist "received a thousand times" the embraces and other human interaction that the speaker "yearn[s] to have just once!" (10). Who was Pygmalion, and what can we learn about the poet's treatment of Laura from the classical allusion?

Tartan yachts have nice oil filters on them
We looked at a Tartan at the Seattle Boat Show last year. The oil filter was very shiney. It looked like a quality filter. Anyone know how well they stand up to salt water immersion?
You bad, lmao
Generically, the generic oil filter works best when attached to the engine and not when immersed in generic saltwater. It should be noted though, that this in no way implies that a generic oil filter will not work when immersed in generic saltwater.
are you suggesting tartans wont run without oil?????????????????
Aren't there people who know a lot about how well Tartan oil filters stand up to salt water immersion while still attached to the engine?
Perhaps they could get permission from Tartan's legal team to talk about it, since it is a very positive thing, those oil filters.
I too wish to see the shinny Tartan oil filter, but alas must wait for the next local boat show; then I will pay much attention to the boat and its oil filter.
My understanding, and I'm neither a chemistry major nor say, a legal expert (but I did stay at a hotel in the recent past) is that oil and water do not in fact mix.
These quality oil filters on the Tartan might be of such HIGH quality they might be useful in keeping the boat drier if a emergency such as immersion (in part, or in whole, in operation or not) might be survivable with proper insurance and legal assistance. I do not know as I haven't tried it; there being no need on my boat; they (oil filters of high quality) may be useful in preventing blistering, being proof against water intrusion and all.
Properly shaped oil filters are also strong and flex resistant, that could come in handy as a general trait, preventing flex and other bendy toy like problems.
That's not a recommendation, just a thought..
Sounds like an endorsement of Tartan to me, I guess the post can stay.:rolleyes:

Get the legal help you need at a fixed price. No hidden fees or long-term commitment.
If you are a parent and you divorce, the parent the child lives with often receives money (child support) from the parent no longer living with the child. Unlike alimony, which is paid to maintain an ex-spouse's lifestyle, child support pays for the child's physical, emotional, and educational needs. A child support lawyer can help parents negotiate and calculate child support, either by agreement or in court. While national guidelines to calculate child support amounts exist, you or the judge may choose to calculate the amount based on your income and the child's needs. If you believe you are not the father of a child and want to contest a child support claim, a child support lawyer can also help you determine paternity. A child support lawyer can be useful during negotiations to help objectively determine the most appropriate amount of child support for your situation and protect against paternity fraud.

Mercedes-Benz 300SE Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the Mercedes-Benz 300SE based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Internal and External engine oil & coolant leaks can develop from the head gasket and/or timing cover gasket; these leaks should be repaired before the engine oil and coolant intermix which can result in severe engine damage.
Other than a defective motor, a bad switch or blower motor resistor assembly can cause an inoperative heater blower motor.
A refrigerant leak may develop from one or more of the following AC components: AC compressor, hose manifold for the compressor, or the evaporator core. The loss of refrigerant can cause poor AC performance. Our technicians tell us that proper leak diagnoses should be performed in order to determine the cause of any refrigerant loss.
A faulty mass air flow (MAF) sensor can cause erratic/rough engine operation and fuel economy issues. Since this sensor measures the actual amount of air entering the motor, when it fails, the engine control module (ECM) takes the wrong information and delivers incorrect volumes of fuel to the cylinders.
A rough running motor or lack of power can be caused by a failed distributor cap or rotor, ignition wires (or their resistors), or valve cover gasket leaks. If the valve cover gasket leaks, oil can pool where the ignition wire resistor connects to the spark plug. The resistor can fail and the spark plug may not fire because of a short circuit through the oil.
Failed ignition coil packs or spark plug resistors can cause a rough running motor or lack of power.
A cracked or broken heater core outlet housing can cause a coolant leak near the bulkhead (firewall). Our technicians remind us that coolant leaks should be repaired in order to avoid overheating the engine due to coolant loss.
One or more blend door vacuum actuators may fail resulting in the incorrect output temperature from the HVAC system. Failed actuators will require replacement to restore proper HVAC operation.
A refrigerant leak may develop from one or more of the AC hoses. Proper leak detection procedures should be followed if refrigerant loss in encountered. Replacement of any leaking hoses will we required to restore proper AC operation.
Early-style stainless steel fuel injectors may develop fuel leaks. On high mileage vehicles, the fuel distributor may leak.
The electronic throttle assembly may suffer an electrical failure. It is often cheaper to send the valve to a service center for repair that to purchase a new part.
A vibration felt through the center floor of the vehicle can be caused by cracked and/or shredded driveshaft flex discs, resulting in excessive driveshaft movement. If not repaired, damage to the driveshaft center support bearing, transmission, or differential can occur.
The tie rod ends, idler arm, and/or drag link components of the steering linkage may wear prematurely. Please keep in mind the wheel alignment should be checked and adjusted when any of these items are replaced.
The emissions air injection pump can seize, causing a loud squealing noise followed by smoke from the drive belt. If the engine is not turned off, the belt will break, turning on the alternator/battery warning light.

Microwaves are that odd-bit of kit that manages to be inherently techy (it cooks food by literally bombarding it with electromagnetic radiation) and yet as boring as possible (old grey plastic and it doesn't even give you superpowers).
A rogue hacker named Nathan Broadbent has now upgraded the humble microwave with the help of the Raspberry Pi – a basic and very hackable computer the size of a credit-card.
Broadbent's additions make for a microwave of the future – voice commands have been added, meaning you can just declare 'Microwave! 60 seconds, high' and off it goes; there's a connected web-page so that the microwave can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet; and, best of all, there's the 'Microwave Cooking Database' – another casual invention from Broadbent built 'just because'.
With the database you simply scan in the barcode of the meal you've bought and the microwave automatically starts cooking with the correct heat setting and time – it even announces when you need to stir your food! For reasons unknown the ready-meal industry have not yet clocked on to this possibility, and Broadbent's database is currently a one-man operation – he's adding instructions for meals as he cooks them.
Other little additions include a clock that syncs to the internet (so no more having to fiddle with the settings yourself), a re-jiggered touchpad, and even custom sound effects. Broadbent is currently using the start-up sound from the original Playstation console – a Pavolvian trigger for happiness to geeks of a certain age.
If the video-demo below isn't enough then more details of the hack can be seen on Broadbent's homepage. Over on YouTube commenters are already crying out for a Kickstarter campaign and a commercial product. We'll have to wait and see...

I treat clients of all ages, from children to senior citizens because I am aware that life can be a challenge at any age. My philosophy is that existing issues and potential problems can be prevented or minimized. I work with clients to develop a variety of skills that can help them to effectively cope with relationships such as marriage, parenting, friendship and work.
In addition to improving self-esteem, self-image and overall outlook on life, counseling can help individuals cope with and control circumstances that can hinder happiness and personal growth.
Counseling is conducted at my office on an out-patient basis. There are also special situations in which I can offer services to individuals in their homes.
Telephone therapy is ideal for people who:
- Have busy schedules
- Prefer the comfort of their home
- Are unable to leave home
- Travel often
Phone therapy sessions are set up the same way that office visits are scheduled. I accept credit cards for the $130.00 fee. Please contact me with any additional questions.

I happen to agree with the PA when they say that they should make less money because the owners are stupid. Wouldn't it make more sense to cap the UFA's rather than cap the teams in general? This way the lower-end guys aren't affected?
The question then comes to be 'How does that solve, say, Pittsburgh's problems?'. Well, it doesn't soley. This is why I also like the idea of a luxery tax. I have no problem with the Rangers signing 8 guys to $6 million dollar contracts (say that was the cap), so long as they are paying luxery taxes back to teams like Pittsburgh for doing so.
More to the point, I think it would be a mistake to handcuff a successful team when it comes to resigning their guys with a low cap. For instance, let's say you're team wins the cup. Would you want to see the franchise player, or if not him, key players beyond him, sent off in favour of draft picks just because the franchise guy wants a pay hike to $10 million and the cap is breached?
I personally prefer the luxery tax to a cap as a fan. The idea that a cap will make Edmonton (for example) better off I think is a fallacy. Any team that gets good is going to be near that cap, that is if it's $40 million or low, you can bet on it. Winning teams will be blown up due to financial reasons. I don't think that's fair. Rather than seeing that, why not give that team an option to go over the limit if they must, but set in place a system that will support a team like Edmonton or Pittsburgh when it does happen.
Last but not least, I do not mind a very high cap in the $60 - 70 million dollar range for the sole purpose of stopping a New York Yankees situation. I don't mind the Wings at $60 million and everyone else at $30 - 40 million. I do have a problem with the Rangers at $90 million and the Wild at $17 million. I also wouldn't mind seeing a MINIMUM cap of about $25 million, too. With the luxery tax, these cheapo teams wouldn't have an excuse to go below that.
Thats the problem with a salary cap. It destroys the chances of dynasties (at least true dynasties) and it means excessive player movement. I like the idea of a minimum salary range (concession to the players) and an extremely high say a percentage like 75% of a teams profit being the salary cap for the team (or just a set figure at like 60 million). Lets be reasonable, this is more than workable for the PA. I also think that a limit on UFA contracts is a must. This allows a lower market team to actually have the chance to sign a player, if they are willing to pony up to the max. Then its not about money, but location. I doubt any of this will come into play, but its all reasonable.
- Revenue sharing is a must, and without a doubt should be in the new CBA regardless of a cap or tax.

The Best Day Last Year
I keep resculpting the past with nostalgia until it is as ficticious as everything else in my head.
I want the misty mountains.
Not like they are now,
But how
They were a year or so ago.
In my head,
I'm building them like a tower of cards.
I want them just as they were
In those few hours;
Use the desk lamp to make a summer's day.
I work slowly,
Heart trembling cards trembling hands steady
Like before
And before you barge into the card metaphor
And knock it over,
It's flawless.
For a second I am in awe.
Then it falls.

Longboat Key anchorage
Has anyone anchored East of the Sister Keys just South of Longboat pass and the Longboat anchorage at Moore's? We're very familiar with the usual anchorage West of Jewfish, but someone mentioned to us turning East at the ICW 40 marker and going up behind Sister Keys. It looks skinny but doable on the charts.
Yes, we anchor there all the time when heading south. Its a great stopping point to grab a nice dinner before heading outside to Pelican Bay. As you exit off the ICW, keep close to the island (30 yds or so) until you can make your turn into the anchorage. Be cautious of the shoal in the very middle exactly between Moores and MarVista. I have not tried to exit the anchorage directly to the pass as it looks to shallow, so I backtrack the way I came in and catch the pass via the long way around.
Ah, just read your post a little closer. EAST of Sister Keys???? No way!! My charts are showing 3-4 in most areas with some 8 ft holes in places. Better check your Tow Boat US membership status before trying that one!

Is my progress normal after my breast reduction? Or should I be concerned? (Photo)
Doctor Answers 2
Is my progress normal after my breast reduction? Or should I be concerned?
Appears as wind dehiscences. Local wound care and time will allow healing very slowly like a few months. If you desire to speed up the healing try PRP infusion therapy with external red laser light. Each session fee $400, most need 4 to 8 sessions...Not insurance covered...
Is my progress normal after my breast reduction?
Close follow up with your plastic surgeon will be in your best interests; sometimes removal of a exposed suture and/or removal of any unhealthy tissue will expedite healing. As you mentioned, there may be different treatment modalities recommended; best to "stick with" your plastic surgeons recommendations.
Wound care regimens will differ from one plastic surgeon to another. Generally, this will involve application of some type of sterile dressing ( in my practice I use a non-stick dressing covered by a sterile dressing).
You should have peace of mind that these types of wound healing problems generally go on to heal over the course of the next several weeks, often without long-term sequelae. Also important to concentrate on a healthy diet, including good protein source. Sometimes (depending on the width of the open wound and the appearance of the scar in the longer term), scar revision surgery may be helpful down the line. Best wishes.
