Custom ordered. And as much as I wanted to love the car, I didn't. There were many things that I didn't like, for example, as Needsdecaf said, it was always wallowing all over the road, had a tendency to veer to the right and it felt floaty. I was very disappointed. On top of that, the bluetooth was horrible (I spend nearly 2 hours on the car a day, most of the time on conference calls from and to work), so that was a BIG issue.
After struggling with it for a year, I was able to trade it in for another custom ordered 2012, this time M-Sport (with Dynamic Dampers), and also fully loaded with new goodies, like Combox (waaaay better bluetooth) and heads-up-display.
There is simply no comparison. I LOVE how this one drives. The power delivery is smooth and plentiful. The suspension does what you want it to do (Comfort+, Comfort, Sport, Sport+), drives straight like an arrow, and the sound quality of bluetooth is outstanding. Nobody knows I'm calling from my car.
I've had many, many brand new cars before (over 30 of them) including other BMW's, M-Benz, Porsche, Audi, Cadillac, Ford, Land Rover, Saab, etc. Lots of variety along the way. And of all of them, this is the car I've enjoyed the most bar none. I absolutely love this car, from the way it looks, the way it drives, the luxury inside, etc.
After 14 months and over 17,000 miles, I'm still in love with this car.
And by the way, when I was mad at my 2011, I test drove the A6 and A7, and as much as I wanted to "punish" BMW by purchasing something else, they didn't feel as luxurious or refined as the F10. Here's one little thing to compare: Look at the cheap hard plastic on the center console between the front seats. That would look and feel cheap on a Hyundai. Enough said.
Thanks for the useful information. So it seems that if you had one without dynamic dampers, and especially the 2011s, you'll feel the floaty suspension.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Faces Lawsuit
She's never afraid to stir up some drama, and now Elisabeth Hasselbeck is dealing with some drama of her own.
"The View" co-host is being sued by an author who claims Hasselbeck stole her book idea and infringed on her copyrights by publishing a book on Celiac Disease called "The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide" last month.
The 32-year-old host who is pregnant with her third child - recently announced she suffers from Celiac Disease, which damages the small intestine and interferes with nutrient absorption.
Publicists for ABC and Elisabeth's publisher, Hachette Book Group, could not be reached for comment at the moment.

When I saw her, I wasn't even looking for a Caddy. My knees were worsening, and getting in and out of my Camaro was getting near impossible. As my wife and I were on a ride, we passed a car dealer and I said we should look and see what they have. All I wanted was a car-height car with auto, a/c all power. Didnt much care about anything else, I was in too much pain.
As I rounded the first row of used cars, there she was. silver with grey leather, 5 years old at the time, but looking brand new. As the saleswoman told me that that car was already sold, my excitement quickly turned to dispair. She took my name" in case anything happened" but I figured that was that. When we returned home , there was a message on the machine: The car was available now , and if I was still interested I should call. My wife looked at me and said lets go now. When I got there, I was handed the keys, and told to take her for a ride. As I tooled around eastern Long Island I was dumbfounded. A car actually made for a man of size. Deafeningly quiet, solid and fast...REAL FAST. I thought of all the devilles I had passed with small shiney wrinkled heads cruising along below the limit and what a waste of all this power that was. My wife was not saying a word. As we turned into the dealership, I turned off the ingnition, turned to my wife, and said
" well, whatd'ya think?" What she said still rings in my ears years later.
" Its the fattest-assed, most ostentatious automobile I have ever seen"
My response ? " Yea, but can I keep her?"
Its been 7 years, and 165k miles. I'm in it every day, sometimes for half the day, going to appointments. all weather, all kinds of traffic, night and day, she keeps on going. still solid, and fast as ever, and all the electrics still work.It has never faltered or wimpered, consuming Xmas trees in her trunk that all the big fellas in their SUV's has to tie on top. Getting 25MPG. The onlly sign of wear are the thousands of hairline scratches in her from years of carwashes.
She ain't worth much $$ anymore, but in a few months, I will be relocating to Arizona, and somewhere out there, there is a car carrier with her name on it. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Good afternoon-
Several of my family's favorite recipes include a jalapeno or two, which I buy in the produce section (not much of a gardener, me...)
Anyhow, the heat produced by these jalapenos seems wildly inconsistent... some days one pepper will be perfect, other times I'll need two to get beyond "is there pepper in this?" This makes it very difficult to get the recipes right.
Is there any means of predicting a pepper's heat? Could I even guesstimate by noting if a batch is imported vs. domestic/hothouse vs field-grown/etc.?

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:40pm
The last time the Rochester Rattlers set foot on a field was in the 2008 Major League Lacrosse championship game. That team defeated the Denver Outlaws, 16-6, and won its first MLL title. That team was led by Joe Walters, John Grant, Brodie Merrill, Alex Smith and Casey Powell. The team relocated to Toronto the following season and became the Toronto Nationals.
Rochester was without an MLL team for the '09 and '10 seasons, but it was only a matter of time before the creator's game returned to Western New York. After the 2010 season, the Chicago Machine relocated to Rochester, and the Rattlers name was brought back.
The new Rattlers are composed of players from the former Machine franchise and free agents. The team will be coached by BJ O'Hara, the coach who brought the Steinfeld Cup to Rochester in '08. This roster is not only completely different from the last Rattlers squad (now the Hamilton Nationals), but it is also much different than last season's Chicago team.
Last season, the Chicago Machine spent the season touring potential sites for the franchise for relocation. The road warriors had home tilts in Pittsburgh, Virginia Beach, Rochester and Columbus, Ohio.
The Machine finished the season 4-8. This was actually the best season in franchise history and they were in the mix for a playoff spot at midseason. Ned Crotty only played seven games for the Machine, but still finished third in scoring with 24 points and was named rookie of the year.
On June 25, the Machine hosted the Denver Outlaws at then Marina Autos Stadium in Rochester. Led by seven points from Mike Leveille and five points from Kevin Leveille and Ned Crotty, the Machine defeated the Outlaws 18-14. The game drew a decent crowd with little advertising. It was clear then that Rochester was the obvious choice for relocation because of the area being a lacrosse hotbed and the team having and excited owner who was willing to give the MLL another shot.
Gone from last season's Machine team are Mike Leveille, Kevin Leveille, Chris Rotelli, Bill McGlone, Josh Sims and Doug Shanahan.
In their place are MLL All-Time leading scorer Casey Powell (in his return to the MLL for the first time since '08), Buggs Combs, Brian Vetter, Jeff Colburn, Greg Niewieroski and Tim DeBlois. After the NCAA season ends, the Rattlers will welcome midfielder Jovan Miller, long stick middie Joel White and goalie John Galloway from No. 1-ranked Syracuse. They also drafted attackman Jordan McBride from Stony Brook and midfielder Tom Montelli from Duke.
Attack: The Rattlers currently have Josh Covelski, Niewieroski, Casey Powell, Ari Sussman and Crotty on their active roster. Buggs Combs will begin the year on injured reserve.
O'Hara had nothing but praise for the ageless Powell. He says, "Casey is arguably playing better than anyone in the world right now." He adds, "In 2010 he was the first American player to be named MVP of the NLL. While he hasn't played (in the) MLL in two years, he continues to play at a very high level."
O'Hara also had a glowing review of Ned Crotty's first season. He doesn't think the Duke product has even reached his potential, though.
"Ned Crotty had a great rookie season, but I really believe that the best is yet to come for him, and he will become one of the great stars of Major League Lacrosse."
Midfield: Middie play will be one of Rochester's greatest strengths. The unit boasts veterans Brian Clayton, Dan Groot, FO Anthony Kelly, Jordan Levine Andrew Spack and Matt Striebel. Also on the roster are Martin Cahill, Matt Cassalia, Jeff Colburn, Dan Deckelbaum, Brett Garber, Justin Pennington and FO Jerry Ragonese.
Defense: The Rattlers defense is also a strong group full of veterans. They will be led by Greg Bice, Diogo Godoi, Joe Smith, Steve Whittenberg and Time DeBlois.
Goalie: The Rattlers have two goalies on the current roster, but the starter isn't completely set in stone.
"At this juncture, Mike Gabel will start in goal with Stefan Schroder backing up," says O'hara. When the NCAA season ends, Syracuse's Galloway will also be in the mix for playing time.

Jonas Gutierrez has played in six derby games against Sunderland, since he joined the club in the summer of 2008 from Real Mallorca, and he has told the local press today that it will be a difficult game for Newcastle on Sunday, but the lads are determined to win the game for the fans. The Newcastle players know what this game means to Newcastle.
Jonas Gutierrez in action at Sunderland last season
Newcastle got 4 points out of Sunderland last season, with a terrific 1-0 win away, when Ryan Taylor rifled in the free kick from the left wing in the second half to get all 3 points for the Magpies, after we went through some tough times in the first 45 minutes.
And at home we managed to come back and draw 1-1 with a late last minute goal from who else – Shola Ameobi.
We'll not have Ryan available on Sunday of course, in the game that kicks off at 1:30 pm, but we should have some of our first teamers back – Simpson, Steven Taylor, Krul and Coloccini are all expected to be available.
If Colo cannot make the game on Sunday, and we are expecting he will, then Jonas will wear the captain's armband, in what is such an important game for Newcastle, and for Sunderland too of course.
This is what Jonas said in the local press today:
"We have had good results against Sunderland, but that is in the past." "We have to live in the present, and all the derbies are different. We can't expect the same as last year, or two years ago."
"It's going to be something new, something different and something really, really hard." "We know what it means for the city if we win that game." "We want to be involved in that party, so we want the three points."
"We know that it's not going to be easy. They're a good side. Last season they had a good season, and they made a few signings." "It's going to be tough. All the games here are tough."
"We are not going to win just with the shirt – we have to play the 90 minutes, be focused and be ready for their fans and all the pressure they're going to put on us." "We have to think about that and give three points for the fans."
"It's important to win. We don't care if we play well or not. The fans want the three points, and me and all the players are the same." "Their team and fans are going to put us under pressure." "It's important to start focused. I we start like we did against Manchester United .
"It won't be possible to take something from there." "We have to take out the things we did wrong and try to do it better, and not make mistakes."
The result is everything in these games, and how Newcastle get the win is of little importance after the game, because a win gives Newcastle supporters huge bragging rights, and will lift the morale of both players and fans alike on Tyneside.
With almost our best side hopefully being fielded on Sunday afternoon – we can get all 3 points from this game.
Howay The Lads!!

Striking Entrance
To create an entryway that's fun and functional, use latex porch and floor enamel and paint a diamond motif. Before painting make sure you sand floors properly and vacuum thoroughly. After paint has dried, apply a second coat. Floors take loads of traffic, and two coats are essential.
Significant Design
Wake up a boring floor with paint. Here, thin stripes of white outline alternating shades of blue to create interest. A compass draws the eye toward the winding staircase.
Artistic License
Feel free to throw the rules out the window and use colors you love where you'll see them most often. Using purple on ceiling, trim, and floors unifies this space.
Easy Option
Painted floors are low-maintenance. Simply wash them occasionally with soap and water. Scratches? No problem. They'll look better with age and character. Pattern and color distract from imperfections in the boards.
Interesting Addition
Striped, polka dot, checkerboard, or plaid, pattern adds spunk to a vanilla kitchen. Here, extra-large diamonds add bold interest and make the space look larger.
Going Beyond
/Coastal motifs stenciled onto painted wood floors add a playful touch and take a traditional blue-and-white scheme to a whole new level.
Opening Up
To enlarge a space visually, coat every surface in white―including floors. Introduce color in a cheery hue through furniture and accessories to keep a white room from feeling sterile.
Real Living
Glossy paint on wood floors is perfect for a beach cottage, because it's a low-cost, high-charm treatment and disguises flaws. Use oil-based porch and floor enamel in a high-gloss sheen for best results.

Start with a white canvas
"Deciding to do all white was really hard for me," says Susan, who loves color but explains that going with a seamless neutral keeps the house from feeling segmented.
Except for a blue wall in two of the bedrooms, and palm-motif wallpaper in the master suite, the home's all-white walls and floors serve as a backdrop for a repeated palette of tropical colors: citron, tangerine, lime, and cobalt. "If we also had color on the walls, it would be a little frightening."
Style secret: In high-traffic areas, vinyl upholstery trumps leather. It's easily wiped off with a spritz of all-purpose cleaner.
Ingredients: Extra White wall paint (7006) by Sherwin-Williams; Glace Glass Sticks in Ice by Ann Sacks; Ardex SD-T concrete flooring in beach sand (custom color) by Ardex.

Online Sections of First-Year Writing
Starting this fall (yeah, in a few weeks), we're going to offer a couple of sections of our first-year writing courses online. Does anyone have any advice, or can you point me toward some readings? I have a great teacher teaching these classes who has some experience with online education, but I'm sure she'd appreciate any extra help I can give her. Though I've used technology a lot in my teaching, I myself have never taught or taken a completely online course.

A regular and consistent schedule is generlly helpful. For instance, I may have a draft due on Friday at midnight (always midnight, and not watching the clock for a 12:01 submission), responses due by Monday (or whenever) at midnight, and drafts for a grade at Day X at midnight, consistently.
Also, if you do peer responses, which I would hope, have the responses be first come, first served. Don't assign response groups because the late people will rankle the early people and you'll get lots of messages about so-and-so hasn't posted/responded. First come, first served, maximum number of response with those after the max not counting as fulfilling the assignment. Works pretty well. Thanks to Judi K at Kapiolani for this approach.

The long-term research goals of my laboratory are to understand patterns of genetic variation within and between populations and to use this information to address fundamental problems in Biology and Evolution. To this end, we are pursuing research projects in two broad and interrelated areas: 1) human population and evolutionary genomics and 2) delineating the genetic architecture of quantitative traits and complex diseases. The goals of these studies are to understand the genetic structure of human populations, infer important demographic events in human history, identify regions of the genome that have been affected by natural selection, and map genes that contribute to susceptibility of complex diseases and mediate inter-individual variation in quantitative traits. The raw data that we use to answer the questions described above include whole genome DNA sequence information and massively parallel measures of gene expression, protein, and metabolite levels. These data sets are inherently complex and quantitative, and we develop theoretical, statistical, and computational tools to extrapolate meaningful information from them.

Fernando Torres is convinced that it will be a fair fight between him, Samuel Eto'o and Demba Ba for a starting role up front at Chelsea this season.
Torres and Ba have been largely ignored since Jose Mourinho signed Eto'o from Anzhi Makhachkala at the end of last month.
The Cameroon international was named in the first XI for the first three games he was available for selection, even though he looked short of fitness and wayward in front of goal.
Torres is the only forward to have scored for the club this season and netted his second of the campaign in just his third start against Swindon in the Capital One Cup — which Eto'o was rested for — on Tuesday night.
Ba has also been a peripheral figure having made only three appearances thus far and it is expected that Eto'o will lead the line again against Tottenham on Saturday.
But Torres is unconcerned and said: "We have great strikers and all of us are going to score goals. It's nice to have this competition. The season is going to be long like the last one. There'll be time for all of us to play in important games and score some goals.
"The main thing is we keep winning. We are in the top four in the Premier League and have moved one step forward in the [League] Cup.
"We're all fighting to be in the line-up, to be in the squad. It is not easy but is good for the improvement of the team. There are players who have not been involved in the last few matches and the passion and character is plain to see.
"The response of the team has been great. The match against Swindon was my first 90 minutes since the Bayern Munich game in the [Uefa] Super Cup. Sometimes you don't realise you haven't played 90 minutes for a couple of games until you feel so tired at the end."
Chelsea go into the match at White Hart Lane on the back of two victories having been under pressure just a week ago following consecutive defeats.
Mourinho, who returned to the club as manager in the summer, came under heavy criticism last week for the team's performances against Everton and Basle in the Premier League and Champions League respectively.
He has told the fans that it will take time for the players to adapt to the new football philosophy he is trying to introduce, which has also seen crowd favourite Juan Mata left out of the side. But Torres believes Chelsea have made a strong opening to the campaign under the circumstances and will improve as each week goes by.
He added: "A new manager always brings different ideas. There are new things that we have to change from the past and that takes time.
"Manchester United and Manchester City have changed their managers so we are in the same situation. It's not an excuse. We have a young squad, a very good one. We're working and everyone is getting better. The season has only just started and can be very good. I think we have to go like the manager says, game by game, bit by bit."
Cesar Azpilicueta is another Chelsea player determined to fight for his place and that is because he wants to fulfil his dream of playing for Spain at the World Cup next summer.
Mourinho has made Branislav Ivanovic his first-choice right-back this term, with Azpilicueta starting his first game of the season against Swindon.
It means the 24-year-old, who is being targeted by Athletic Bilbao over a possible transfer in January, is in danger of losing his spot in the Spain squad.
However, he said: "The national team has an abundance of talent but I'm going to keep trying to force my way into this exceptional side."
Meanwhile, Marco van Ginkel could be out for up to nine months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament against Swindon. It is believed the 20-year-old midfielder will undergo surgery today.

Before I get started with this post, a few clarifications. First, I don't think that Madonna is the evil, attention-hungry, Angelina-copycat that others are making her out to be. I'm sure she was guided by the best of intentions when it came to this adoption. But that doesn't mean she doesn't buy into essentialist notions about blacks, whether she realizes it or not.
Second, we have no way of knowing exactly what transpired during this process. Was she really led to believe that David's father's whereabouts were unknown? Is it true that his father never visited David at the orphanage? Was David's father misled into believing this was not a permanent adoption? We'll just never know, and it's best not to make assumptions about any of the facts.
Third, I do not oppose international adoption and no, I wouldn't prefer to leave the orphans to die. But are those ever really the only two options?
Okay, with that out of the way…
I was struck by how many times Madonna used the phrases "I will give him a life" or "he didn't have a life" when referring to her adopted Malawian child, David, during her interview with Oprah on Wednesday.
And I think this gets at one of the main problems I have with the way international adoption is discussed in this country. There's always this unspoken, underlying assumption that:
- keeping the child in the home country = no life or a bad life
- bringing the child to "the West" = a good life
The situation in Malawi is dire, yes. But discussions about international adoption always make it seem as if every single child who doesn't get adopted by an American family — no matter what country the child is in — is going to die. Like, right now. But that's just not always the case.
Also, we really need to question the assumption that the benefits of international adoption will always outweigh the negative repercussions. I encourage you to read this post of Ji In's at Twice the Rice, in which she writes that "there is irreparable pain and there are primal wounds inherent in adoption that no privileged upbringing can erase."
Can a better standard of living, healthcare, education and loving adoptive parents ever make up for what is lost when a child is removed from his or her country and culture? Shouldn't every effort be made to try and keep families together? Shouldn't adoption be a final resort? I don't pretend to have the answers to those questions, but I'm disappointed that the questions are rarely, if ever, even asked.
If a country is experiencing such extreme poverty that it cannot adequately care for its children or orphans, is international adoption the best solution? Or the only solution? If, like Madonna was, you are so moved by a country's troubles that you feel compelled to do something to help, are there other things you can do? Things that could actually help solve some of the underlying, fundamental problems that have led to this dire situation in the first place? Those questions are never asked either.
I was surprised that Madonna so willingly and unquestioningly accepted the orphanage's claim that no family member — not even the father — had ever visited David since his arrival at 2 weeks old. Not only did she fully believe it, but she immediately assumed that it meant that "no one was looking after David's welfare."And during the entire interview, she didn't once acknowledge the fact that David's father might have kept custody of his son, had he had the resources. Her focus was on his apparent gratitude to her: "Thank you for giving my son a life."
This lack of acknowledgement of a father's loss reminded me of the old slavery-era essentialist notions about blacks that were created to justify oppression. Black people were characterized as subhuman and bestial. That meant that the notions of democracy and freedom this country was founded on didn't really apply to them. Black men were said to not love their wives and children the way white men did, therefore it was perfectly okay to split up families and sell them off to different plantations.
Could a similar essentialist/white supremacist notion be at play here? Does Madonna believe that David's father couldn't possibly love David the way she can? That the affection and parental relationship she can offer is inherently superior to his?
I also wonder whether there are essentialist ideas at play in the way the Madonna, Oprah, and really everyone else in the media constantly talks about "Africa" as if it were one big country, with people who all share a culture, language and political system. Africa is an enormous continent, with countries that are vastly different from one another. And yet all we're told about it is that there are children dying, there are wars, there are a lot of people with AIDS, and everyone is really poor. And anytime a movie is made about Africa, the focus is on the white people in the story, so we learn nothing there either.
We never really hear about how or why things got to this point in the specific country. What historical events led up to this situation? What responsibility should former colonizers bear? What geopolitical interests want to keep the status quo? What roles have large corporations played in contributing to this mess?
When those questions are never addressed, we're left with the general sense that it's the Africans' own fault. That they suffer from some kind of fundamental, self-destructive pathology, and that they need white people to step in and save them from themselves. Basically, it's a white man's burden thing. No wonder people don't think it's racist to suggest that African-Americans were better off because of slavery — at least they didn't have to stay in Africa!
I sincerely hope that all the criticism surrounding Madonna's adoption will cause people to rethink the simplistic ways in which international adoption is framed. For more on this topic, check out the adoption roundtable discussion I hosted with Jae Ran and Ji In on episode 41 of Addicted to Race.

For asthetics, Newtype USA (and its offical japanese counterpart and rivals) cant be beat. They (N:USA is the only one I read extensively) had really great features like character line art, fan polls, columns, shoutbox, fanart, convention photos and at one point Tv ratings (it's really useless sure, but I like seeing how the japanese view anime for a fresh perspective)
I think Animerica was one of the best ones in terms of feature articles though. Particularly for an early issue detailing the troubled production of the Macross series (beyond what fansites have said about it in it's Robotech form). It provided a ton of info within the articles (per article) moreso than newtype IMHO, plus they actually had reviews that were not afraid of calling a bad show BAD. Newtype whitewashes and glosses over everything in their reviews. Protoculture; I've only read one issue of it. It's was boring looking asthetically compared to the other mags, but it was fair for some decent interviews and some seemingly objective reviews.

our country only has one anime/manga/jpop magazine, Aniway
comes out every 2 months and started about 1 year ago, though the suckie part is everything that they have in their magazine has alady aired about 3-4 years before, though they have a series themed A3 poster in each magazine, so i buy it.. since theres no 'anime' anime postrs on sale here, i do see NewTYPE USA lying aroun in the comicstore (only store selling manga and other comics in a radius of 27 KM) but theyre mostly old editions and i would only buy one if it is actually intresting

Is anyone here subscribed to megami? If so, which website did you use? how was the experience?

I collected Animerica a number of years back for a little bit. Then as soon as Newtype-USA came out, I dropped Animerica and collected the first 2 years worth of NT-USA , but then they decided to stop including a free DVD and so I decided to stop getting it. Even though they went back to including a DVD eventually, by then I'd lost the interest in collecting it, Ive been tempted to pick up an issue here or there but I'd prefer to spend my cash on other things at this point.

I used to buy anime magazines(Newtype, Animerica, Anime Insider etc...) almost on a regular basis but as time went on I only started buying a magazine if there was something I really wanted to see or read in it. Now I've stopped buying anime magazine's completely. IMO, they just aren't worth the money anymore.

I've considered the idea of getting a subscription, but the problem is that all the sites I've seen deal with each subscription seperately, and so they ship each magazine independantly and charge you accordingly (and the first item in a shipment is always the expensive one). If there were a way to pool multiple magazine subscriptions into one monthly shipment, I'd definitely be game for that, as it'd save me a lot of time. But so long as you're only interested in subscribing to the one magazine, that point probably isn't all that relevant to you right now.
All in all, though, Megami is a nice magazine. Of course it's most famous for its posters, but it's pretty well put-together all around.

Judge Todd Baugh is a friendly man, one who enjoys the company of real men, the type who will sit around the campfire with buddies swapping stories of how females need the helpful fist of a Real Man in order to teach them proper behavior such as always doing with the man tells you to do. Several months ago, one of his buddies, a teacher, raped his student. Todd understood that a man sometimes gets carried away seeing some gorgeous broad come into his view of life. The judge pointed out that the girl "looked older than her chronological age" of fourteen which meant she was fair game for any Real man. So, he sentenced his buddy to a month in jail for rape. It was a warning to attractive teen age girls to dress modestly and behave themselves when in the presence of a Real Man.
His latest case was a man who beat the hell out of his girlfriend. He fractured her face in three places. Todd had to do something so he sentenced the man to six months in jail and he has to write 5,000 times: "boys do not hit girls."
I wonder if he has to clean blackboards in a classroom.

Family Rooms
Family Rooms provide families with comfortable seating, flat screen TV's, computers with wireless Internet service, showers, laundry facilities, lockers for storing personal belongings, a kitchenette stocked with beverages and snacks, research materials, and play areas for siblings. The rooms are open 365 days per year and are staffed 100% by friendly, dedicated, and caring volunteers.
We have three Family Rooms in the Southern Colorado region. The first, opened in 2006, is located at UC Health at Memorial Hospital Central and has the distinction of being the first Ronald McDonald Family Room in the state of Colorado. The Room is located adjacent to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and also serves families from both the Pediatric and Pediatric Intensive Care units.
Our second Family Room opened on November 8th, 2009, and is located inside the Pediatric unit at St. Francis Medical Center. Families from both Pediatrics and the Neonatal Intensive Care Units enjoy the comforts of home while being merely seconds away from their loved ones. In 2013, two sleeping rooms were added to the existing Family Room, allowing families of NICU patients the much needed opportunity to get a good night's sleep while being just steps away from their precious little ones.
Our third Family Room, located inside Children's Hospital Colorado Urgent and Outpatient Children's Specialty Clinic, opened in June, 2011. Located in the Infusion Center, this Family Room provides families a break from the clinic setting and offers respite from the bedside.

Group Buy: RacingBrake 2-Piece Rotors for E46 M3 ZCP!

Group Buy: RacingBrake 2-Piece Rotors for E46 M3 ZCP!
I've been talking with Racing Brake about setting up a group buy for their 2 piece rotors for my E46 M3 ZCP and they've gone ahead and set something up! In effort to get as much exposure as possible, I've also posted this on Zpost forums, however if anyone has any other recommendations, let me know!
GROUPBUY LINK at RacingBrake
Rotors can be found here:
Link to 2 piece rotors
Note that rotors are 30mm in thickness as compared to OE which are 28mm. OE rotors have min wear at 1.6mm however RB rotors will go 2mm, which is typical for most BBK 2 piece rotors. Combined with the extra hardness of the steel used and the much better cooling, these should last significantly longer than OE. User "TheHACK" on Zpost actually runs these exact rotors that are in this GB. In 2010 he posted that he had had the rotors on the car for 4 years and 4000 miles of track duty and they still had life left. NO WAY an OE rotor would take that abuse!
See the below reviews for extensive photos.
The discount is as follows:
15% for 5 or more orders (discounted price: $756.41)
20% for 10 or more orders (discounted price: $711.91)
If we can get enough people this could be a really great deal!
The above prices include RB ET300 brake pads. RB will take $30 off the price if no pads are desired and will charge approximately $40 if you want to upgrade pads to a more aggressive compound...see GB link above.
See these review for the RacingBrake rotor review for 335i and 135i rotors, both of which use the same technology as the rotors here.
Cliffnotes from linked reviews below if you don't want to click (though I recommend you do!)
-The OEM rotor is about 145 on the Brinell hardness scale and the Stoptech rotor is around 171.
The RacingBrake rotors that Mr.5 (OP of 335i review) tested were 196 and 193.
-Better cooling than OE rotors due to center mount rotor configuration (that no other rotors use) and convergent vanes. (Though there is not alot of conclusive date to back this up, it's enough for me that the Mr.5 noticed a 30 degree rotor temp difference in favor of RB rotors.
-E90 325i owner fitted with 135i brakes had reviously noticed fade on the track. After switching to RB rotors fade was gone and OP of review decreased 2 seconds off of lap time by being able to brake later towards end of session.
The 335i review shows a rotor temp difference of around 30 degrees under the same conditions (stock on one side, RB on the other).
The 135i review states that OP had issues with fluid boiling and pedal getting soft. RB rotors maintained a nice pedal feel and the OP shaved 2 seconds off his previous time.
For those interested in the rear rotors, RB informed me that if this GB was successful, they would most likely start producing the rears as well, and I'm sure we could probably set up a GB for them too. In the meantime however, RB fronts with OEM rears is still a great upgrade.
The group buy closes 10/15/12.

Huawei chairman Richard Yu claims that the Chinese smartphone manufacturer would be open to purchasing Nokia, but hinted that some fundamental things would have to change with regard to Windows Phone.
Speaking to the Financial Times ahead of the launch of the Huawei Ascend P6, the world's thinnest smartphone to date, Yu revealed that Huawei was "considering these sorts of acquisitions," but that it "depends on the willingness of Nokia."
Yu's comments reflect Huawei's intentions to rapidly emulate Samsung and Apple at the top of the smartphone market. It is already the third largest smartphone manufacturer by volume behind these two companies
Such a move would be Huawei's first major acquisition of this sort. A Huawei-Nokia partnership might well have "some synergies," as Yu puts it, but there would be some radical changes in the direction of the Finnish company should Huawei get its way.
In particular, Yu doubts the future of Microsoft's Windows Phone platform, which Nokia famously adopted ahead of Android in 2011.
"Whether Windows Phone [will be] successful is difficult to say – it has a very small market share," said Yu, before calling the platform "weak."
"[Windows Phones] are weak but still require a licence fee. That's not good. Android is free," he said.
Next, see if Nokia and Huawei makes our list of the best mobile phones of 2013.

Microsoft certainly isn't letting Apple have it easy. If iWork '09 was a shot across the bows of Office for Mac 2008, Office for Mac 2011 is a full salvo aimed right at the waterline of the USS iWork '09. It's almost hard to believe just how much improvement Microsoft has made with the latest version of Office, bearing in mind that the previous version was a massive step forwards in and of itself.
Then again, when we've already seen Office 2010 for Windows prove just how good an office application suite Microsoft can produce when it puts its mind to it, we'd have been surprised if Office for Mac 2011 wasn't a resounding success.
Some of the changes are as minor as a new set of icons and snazzier splash screens as applications load. Others are as significant as the finally realised dream of many an Office for Mac user: the death of Entourage and its replacement with a Mac version of Outlook.
Big and small alike, these changes all combine to create what is without a doubt the slickest version of Office we've ever had the pleasure of using. Not only are there numerous improvements imported from Office 2010, but there are even some Mac-exclusive enhancements, not to mention some excellent integration with not only OS X itself but also a number of Apple's own applications that give Office for Mac 2011 an appeal that's hard to resist.
The least appealing aspect of Office is the pricing, which is significantly more than the £50ish for which iWork can be picked up. Those able to get along without an extra email client on their Macs can grab Home and Student for £89.99 with Home and Business adding Outlook for a heftier £189.99. Home and Student, and Home and Business also come in two-user and three-user versions, priced at 109.99 and 239.99 respectively.
As we know, more important than the price is what Office for Mac 2011 has to offer for it. So just what's so fantastic about this latest version of Office? The following pages are the place to find out.

Microsoft Office Home and Business 2011 for Mac$15.00 View Item

"In a concession to the knowledge that some users can't or won't adjust to what is, to put it bluntly, a much easier and faster way of working with your documents, this can be turned off."
And the Dvorak keyboard layout is, in tests, a faster way of typing.
But if you're a busy person with a pile of stuff to do you're going to resent like crazy someone swapping out the Qwerty keyboard on which you're proficient and sending you back to square one, making you frustrated and inefficient.
In my last job I had colleagues who worked all day in Excel creating spreadsheet models... after years of doing this they could put together complex spreadsheets at breakneck speed - kind of amazing to watch, they knew countless cutesy time-saving tricks. But give them the ribbon bar and they were really struggling (my employer stopped the rollout).
So great, I'm sure it makes life easier for casual users who've never bothered to learn all the tricks of the old UI. And this is probably 95% of Office buyers. But a change that makes life worse for your hardcore power users who live and breathe Excel can't be good, surely?
Thankfully MS have now made this 'concession' - I'm surprised it's taken so long.
I look forward to this coming to Microsoft's Home User Program. I paid £9 for my current copy of Mac Office 2008 (and hate it).
Will have to see if my sister can pick this up for me from software4students when it gets released. Have to say this is one of the best scores I've seen for a piece of software (or hardware) on TR, and makes me want to get a copy for my Mac.
Can't help thinking that Entourage users have been royally screwed by Microsoft's decision to move the application out of the Home & Student Edition and only include it in the Business Edition.
Irrespective of the target audience for a Microsoft email client for OS X, or the merits of Entourage/Outlook vs. Mail.app, Thunderbird, etc., if you bought Office:Mac 2008 Home & Student Edition sporting the 'Free Upgrade to 2011' sticker, and assumed that this means ALL the applications in your Office suite would be upgraded, then you're in for a nasty surprise.
Incidentally, my understanding is that when you install Office 2011 it searches out and removes any previous version of Office. For the unwary this means that their email client could actually get hosed?
Office 2010 was similarly accoladed. Andy and I both think that the respective suites are the pinnacle of their art (so to speak) on their respective platforms and that sounds like 10/10 to me :)
I live and breath Excel all day at work and can only wish that we actually got 2010 at work as opposed to 2000 which I'm stuck with.
All of the old keyboard shortcuts still work fine and that's what real power users use. It's not often that I use the mouse to do anything so whatever UI is at the top of the screen is fairly irrelevant.
Personally I like the ribbon but if I didn't I wouldn't need it too much. And the new functionality more than makes up for it IMHO.
Started to reply detailing the specific UI changes that threw grit in the cogs of our Excel development, but found it a tedious list even by my standards and abandoned it!
At the end of the day, you get on with the new UI, as do the majority of users - not surprising as that's the sort of data MS get back from their usability testing.
The problem for the minority is having the new UI *imposed* on them, which is why I celebrate the fact it's a choice in this release.
No doubt, Outlook 2011 provides new kind of experience at Mac machine like unified inbox, social engagement, attractive GUI and calender. But you can face some kind of issues with Apple Script that can affect its compatibility with inbuilt plug-in.
There's no way that Office for Mac deserves top marks. There's no way that Office deserves top marks in any form, and the Mac version is hobbled and flakey in various directions. I've found the whole move to Mac really disappointing after all the hype, and the only thing keeping me on Mac is the sheer horror of Windows 8.
Outlook is without doubt much better than Apple's Mail and Calendar programs, especially for business use, but it's very disappointing to keep finding basic functionality disabled or just dysfunctional on the Mac version. For a trivial example, address fields in contacts are horrendous to edit, and the 'Details' (birthdays, PA, etc) and 'Organisation' tabs don't work at all, meaning that any detail brought over in these tabs from a PC will be lost.
Powerpoint seems to work fine but compatibility is often an issue when you move the output between Mac and PC - things jump around, fonts change etc. This makes me very nervous when somebody asks me to send my presentation in advance and I know it's going on to a PC.
I've not had many problems with Word or Excel, but Word isn't great in any guise - so much functionality, so many basic flaws (Oh, why has the font just gone back to Times New Roman? And why am I back to US Spelling yet again despite having changed the default 100 times, most recently two minutes ago? And why don't these bullets line up with the ones above? And why has half my table disappeared off the bottom of the page? etc).
Excel is great unless you want to use plug-ins like PowerPivot, which don't exist for Mac.
So, as with so many things Apple and Microsoft, we're all going to buy it and we all have to live with it. But a 10/10 it is not.
Hi Matt
This is quite an old review and I think the reviewer was essentially scoring it comparative to whatever else was on offer for Mac in 2011.
Yes, but it is still widely on sale in this version at March 2014, and the issues I describe continue to apply.
I see where you're coming from. It's a tricky one from our end as we tend to leave scores once we've reviewed a product unless it's service based e.g. Netflix etc. Otherwise we'd be going back and changing the score of old products (e.g. for the original iPad) because by today's tablet standards it's rubbish...
It's good that you've highlighted this in the comments though. It means people thinking of purchasing this now can think twice.
I'm not expecting that you should change the score! Thank you for even contemplating doing so in response to a reader's views, but that would not be appropriate. You have to score it as you find it, and certainly shouldn't change anything retrospectively. I'm just adding my tuppenceworth.

Mr. Kennett:
Thank you for your prompt reply. Although disappointing, it is as I expected.
What about his health care proxy elections or DNR status? Would I be able to access this? I am pretty sure he will share this with me.
I guess I am just frosted over him remarrying in the first place, and now his new wife, who has proven unpleasant and controlling can potentially take everything that I feel my sister and I deserve after meeting and knowing my father for only a couple years.

The winner will advance to a semifinal game in Towson, Md., next Friday (May 23) against the winner of Saturday's game between No. 2 seed Syracuse and No. 7 seed Boston College.
Tickets for this weekend's game are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Visit the GoHeels.com Ticket Center to purchase advance tickets.
With a win, the Tar Heels would advance to the NCAA semifinals for the eighth time overall and the fifth time in six years.
The Tar Heels finished the regular season ranked No. 4 in the nation in both the IWLCA coaches poll and the Brine media poll. Virginia, which advanced to Saturday's quarterfinal with a win over Princeton last weekend, was No. 11 in the IWLCA poll and No. 15 in the media poll.
Last Sunday, the Tar Heels defeated Georgetown, 10-8, in the NCAA second round in Chapel Hill. Senior Abbey Friend broke the Carolina career goals record and tied the school single-season goals record in the game, tallying four goals and an assist.
Six of the eight remaining teams in NCAA action this weekend are Atlantic Coast Conference teams. Maryland is the No. 1 overall seed and is hosting Duke on Saturday. Syracuse is the No. 2 seed and will host No. 7 seed Boston College. The Tar Heels are the No. 3 seed and are hosting No. 6 seed Virginia.
The Tar Heels are 13-4 in the NCAA Tournament since 2009. They are 16-1 at home in NCAA Tournament games and have won 15 NCAA Tournament games in a row in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina leads its all-time series with Virginia, 20-12. UNC has won nine games in a row over Virginia and 11 of the last 12 installments in the series. Earlier this season, Carolina won 14-10 in Charlottesville on March 8.
UNC and UVa are meeting in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in eight years, and Carolina is 4-1 in the previous five of those meetings. The Tar Heels beat Virginia in the NCAA Tournament in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2013 and lost to UVa in 2007.
Carolina leads the series, 11-3, against UVa in games played in Chapel Hill and 6-1 in NCAA Tournament meetings.
Tar Heel head coach Jenny Levy played at Virginia from 1988-92, where she was a teammate of UVa head coach Julie Myers. Levy was a two-time first-team All-America attacker (then known as Jenny Slingluff). She was the Most Outstanding Attacker of the 1991 NCAA Tournament, leading the Cavs to their first-ever NCAA championship by scoring three goals in the title game.

2012 Focus Custom Ram Air How-To
I've always been the type to have pride in the fact that I do my own work. And with that sometimes comes a better product. I knew I wanted an intake on my new Focus. I wanted a K&N filter. And I wanted it to be functional without being too "ricey", or have too much over-powering intake noise. So this is what I have been dreaming about the last few months.
Start by jumping on the net, or head to your local auto parts store, and order Gates part #22274. What you get is a 3" inside diameter, right angle heater hose. With very little trimming, it becomes the perfect fit! It runs about $37. I found mine for $23 on Amazon shipped!
While you're waiting for that to come in. Remove your airbox, along with the resonator you'll find under it bolted to the frame. I find it easiest to keep the MAF sensor attached to the box, and remove the hose clamp and wire harness to the MAF sensor.
Remove the front air dam plate by pushing it out back towards the engine bay. You can take your time to push each snap out of the way. Or just use a little extra force and it pops right out. I found this best. :)
I laid out a line across the center of each opening, and spaced out each hole I wanted to drill. Then over to drill the holes.
Finished. Of course you can drill your holes any way you like. I was going for a clean, not too obvious look while maintaining good airflow.
This is the area you want to run the hose through. It's a tight squeeze, so it will take some suggesting.
Should look like this once it's in place. Note, at this time the hose is uncut. What a nice fit eh! :)
Here's one of what she looks like from the top. (uncut)
From the first hose picture you'll notice it runs on a bit of an angle to the right. Measure back 2 inches, and cut a notch to act as a scoop. I used just a simple straight razor blade.
Here's a fun part. Remember that factory airbox we removed? Yeah well to buy one new it runs about $130. But that's ok, cause in a couple years people will be throwing them away when they buy their CAI. So you'll be able to pick on up down the road if you want to go back. But today we're going to drill a 3 1/2" hole in it! :) Get out your 3 1/2" hole saw, and cut a hole as close to the old resonator hole as possible. Always clean up your cut edges too! :)
Now put the box back in, and fully seat it in place. You want to adjust the hose so it feels relaxed. Then mark a line around the hose about a 1/4" from the bottom of the box. Remove the box, and cut the marked line.
After the hose is all cut. Reinstall your freshly drilled air dam plate, and then reinstall the hose. It may take a couple times of replacing the airbox to get the hose in the relaxed state again so you can make your bracket. I used 3/4" by 1/8" aluminum bar I get from the hardware store. While you're at the hardware store, pick up a nice stainless steel 3" hose clamp! My clamp looked like this when I was done. Depending on how you drilled your 3 1/2" hole in your airbox, yours may look different. You're going to use the hole that the resonator was using.
Now bolt your bracket in place, and install your hose clamp. BEAUTIFUL! Nice work! You're almost done!
Put your airbox back in, and adjust your hose to fit snugly in place.
Put your air filter back in, and bolt the air box cover back on. I chose to use a Outerwears pre-filter with this setup to prevent any water from getting in the engine. It also keeps bugs out of your pleats. Start her up and enjoy! Maybe roll her out on the driveway and give her a wash, cause you know you're going to want to go for a drive. :)
A little custom vinyl work to show off the Griffin Ram Air mod. :)
Now I know everyone is going to ask HOW DOES IT SOUND?!?!?! CLEAN! Not ricey at all! Not even as aggressive as a regular CAI. It has a very mellow throaty growl to it at WOT. However, which I like, it doesn't over power the engine note with LOUD intake noise. If you like LOUD intake noise, this won't cut it. If you like to hear your engine and intake compliment each other, this is it baby!
Audio: http://youtu.be/bh2LVJJNXQg
Also, I can hear people already complaining about dirt and water, etc etc. Easy fix. Of which I don't have pictured because it is still on order in the mail. Outerwears Pre-filters! With hydrophobic water shield. Either have one custom made for your filter, or hop on eBay and pick up one for an ATV and just slap it on the top side of your hose before it enters the box. I'll post pictures when I get mine in. And what about puddles and hydro-lock and all that CAI intake worries.... You're in luck. By leaving your existing factory pipes, they will act as your vacuum bypass. Aren't you smart! All your friends are going to love you! ;)
People always ask "how does water not get in your engine?"
Well it just doesn't :)
So if I don't have a problem with water running down my shaker, I'm sure you won't have an issue of water traveling uphill in yours. Looks good
Looks good. I may have to try that myself. Thanks for the post !
Great post man looks awesome. good job.
That is some great work! Thanks for sharing!
Is it a factory cone air filter on these?
If not, then I'm failing to see how a drop in air filter will do any good after the mod.
Hi, I dunno but to me it is alot of work for little gain, maybe some more noise, and a invalid engine warrenty. However if you like it then fine, beauty as they say...
Pretty snazzy!!! [wrenchin]
Thanks y'all!
However I was wondering about factory warranty, and how far one can go before it's void. Doesn't one void warranty with a CAI?

You know you've got a following when you pull a big enough crowd to a sizeable space at your Copenhagen fashion week catwalk that you're required to run two showings. Simultaneously. Such a feat takes a certain level of expertise. It also brings with it a certain level of stress, that is if the DJ's need to do warm exercises prior to his set was anything to go by. But for Karen by Simonsen and their fall 2011 showing this was an undertaking bound to pay off if the measure of the evening's success was the gathered devotees' enthusiasm.
Starting with a performance piece of writhing movements, a male model with an indecent amount of muscle definition marked the start of the show. A show with a beat for the best hips to move to. A show that offered up more of the dark tones and layered pieces one doesn't immediately associate with Denmark.
With layering and fabric flow aplenty this was another of the day's shows to use gold elements to highlight black garments, though where others had opted for jewellery Karen by Simonsen opted for gold embellishments often with a military overtone that the world of fashion has largely left behind.
Where black wasn't, dark hues and winter prints were, the gold embellishments of the collections components successfully tying the two together.
To see all the pictures of Karen by Simonsen's somewhat epic autumn / winter 2011 showing (two catwalks, 5 flights of stairs, and 20 or so models) click on the thumbnails below.

Neal McCaleb, Ambassador At-Large for the Chickasaw Nation, recounts that the Choctaw tribe signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, agreeing to surrender their homelands east of the Mississippi River in exchange for land in Indian Territory. In 1832, the Chickasaw Nation signed the Treaty of Pontitock, also agreeing to remove to Indian Territory.
The Choctaw Tribe signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830.
The first treaty under the Indian Removal Act, the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek moved the Choctaws to lands west of the Mississippi in what is now known as Oklahoma.
The treaty went into effect in 1831 and ceded 11 million acres of land in the Choctaw Nation (now Mississippi) for 15 million in the Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma). If Choctaw tribal members chose to stay in the lands ceded, they would have to adopt American policy as their own, and become U.S. citizens.
It was one of the largest land transfers ever agreed upon between the United States government and American Indians in a time of peace. This made the Choctaw the first of the Five Civilized Tribes to be removed from the southeastern United States. Those who stayed in the homelands to be assimilated were known as the Choctaw tribe. The members that moved to lands in Oklahoma were known as the Choctaw Nation.

@Holt: Thanks very much for your feedback. I rotated the hips, elongated the face, and followed your advice with the cloth. Thanks again for your help!
Hey guys,
Well I did my best. Thanks to everyone for your feedback to help me improve this. I spent around 25 hours total on the model, and it could definitely use some improvement. I started the model in Maya, but moved over to XSI because I was more familiar with the rigging tools. I'm a pretty useless character modeler, so this was a great learning exercise.

Proposed Supplementary Rules for Public Land in Oregon and Washington
View Single Post

Join Date: Jan 2009

BLM - Supplementary Rules -
On May 18th, 2007 the Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) posted temporary rules at the Dunes based on safety concerns and modeled after the State of Washingtion OHV/ATV regulations and were intended to reduce conflicts with damage to adjacent private lands; it also addressed the BLM obtaining an easement for public access, etc. (44 CFR 83641 (b)(2) - Uses and Activities.
(CFR = Code of Federal Regulations)
This new Proposed Supplementary Rule (Sept. '09) revises the '07 Rule. It contains six (6) sections; # 4 Juniper Dunes OHV/ATV Use Area addresses the same requirements as found in the May '07 temporary rules. EXCEPTION: language has been omitted requiring current state registration or visable stickers/tabs on OHV/ATV vehicles; nor does it state personal identification needs to be carried on the person operating the off road vehicle; (d) does add language addressing Juniper, Smith Canyon and Wilderness Roads - in May '07 only the Peterson Road was noted.
As you read the current BLM posting in the Federal Register - it implies requirements are leveled at OHV (motorcycle) and ATV (Quads) more than at the four wheel drive users. The only place four wheeled passenger vehicle is sighted - (d) "Safety flags are not required for street-legal vehicle on roads stated above."
It is clear the agency's defination for OHV/ATV needs to be clarified ( motorcycle/ATV/four wheel drive users). A letter has been drafted on behalf of the Association - requesting clarification on their OHV defination and the statement "requiring safety equipment for OHV users" - "they are mixing apples and oranges" again. I will keep everyone informed as to the outcome.

Wonder if ill get the same results going from a g22 to a 9...hmmm
Had a gen 3 G27 for a while now and have always liked it. Today my Lone Wolf conversion came in the mail and since I had already picked up a G26 mag in anticipation I was able to get to the range in about 20 minutes. I put 100 rounds of cheap fmj through it and Wow! I'm no great shot but I was putting together great groups, for me anyways, out to 20 yards offhand. I don't know if it was the lessened recoil or the barrel or what but I shot it much better then as a stock 40. Love the 2 gun versatility it gives me, best gun related $100 I may have ever spent.
Wonder if ill get the same results going from a g22 to a 9...hmmm
There are a lot of youtube videos on converting from .40 cal to 9 Mil. What is the appeal to doing this? Is it the cost of ammo? I can find unlimited .40 S&W at most places around me. The 9 mil seams to be much harder to come by and the price is almost the same right know.
