Thursday 19th July 2012 - Caterham F1 Team Test Driver Alexander Rossi has confirmed today his presence alongside Caterham F1 Team supplier Rockwell Collins at the prestigious 2012 EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, USA, running from July 23rd – 29th.
Rockwell Collins, who have entered into a strategic agreement with Caterham F1 Team, will display the T128 F1 showcar at their exhibit and Alexander will be on hand during the aviation event to meet fans, host autograph sessions and support Rockwell Collins in bringing Formula One to the USA.
Alexander will be available for media interviews prior to and throughout the event, and will be completing a series of autograph signing sessions for fans (schedule to be defined) with photograph opportunities with the Caterham F1 Team showcar and at the Rockwell Collins pavilion.
Alexander Rossi, Caterham F1 Team Test Driver: "Rockwell Collins is a fantastic company, and the knowledge that I have of them and the aviation that they're already involved in is incredibly impressive in terms of the avionics and the technological side of aerodynamics. I was able to spend the better part of a day last week with them at the Farnborough UK Airshow and learned so much about their industry and products. The fact that they've become a supplier to Caterham F1 Team, considering that Formula One is one of the most technologically advanced sports in the world, makes perfect sense. As Test Driver for Caterham F1 Team, I look forward to representing both Caterham and Rockwell Collins at the Airventure, Air Show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, next week, furthering the relationship with Rockwell Collins and Caterham."
Colin Mahoney, Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Commercial Systems at Rockwell Collins ″The Rockwell Collins' pavilion will have something for everyone at this year's show, whether you're a history buff, future technology enthusiast or somewhere in between. We hope all EAA attendees will stop by to help us celebrate our historical, industry-transforming achievements and seeing the future of aviation. We're thrilled to be hosting the Caterham F1 Team and driver Alexander Rossi at our AirVenture exhibit.
″Caterham's presence with us at Oshkosh is a perfect complement to the award-winning innovation we'll have on display at the show.″
Riad Asmat, Caterham Group CEO: "We are delighted that Rockwell Collins and Alexander will be doing so much at Oshkosh to help push the F1 message to the US audience. We know how important the show is in terms of its global reach and to have our team represented there so well is another good step for us in engaging with the US audience."

Hey! It's Ken Crifasi, Boulder County Realtor and owner of K&A Properties. I've been getting a lot of questions from home buyers about home loan pre approval. Being a Realtor, not a loan officer, I can't legally pre approve anyone for a home mortgage. However, I can certainly hunt down some information to help you out! To figure out exactly what the current process of getting a mortgage in Boulder County is like I went to one of my favorite lenders – Ian Bennet from Premier Morgage Group.
Ian Bennet has been in the home mortgage business for a decade and currently conducts his mortgage magic from Premier Mortgage Group's Boulder office at 1844 Folsom Street. He has done such a great job mastering his art that we asked him to spend half of his week in a second office at our Boulder Keller Williams. Ian has extensive knowledge in providing home loans to Boulder County residents, from the highest-end buyers to those of you that are trying to purchase your first condo. I like to kid Ian about how nice it is that he is an expert at financing condo purchases because many mortgage lenders would rather avoid them. They can be challenging and sometimes its hard to justify the time commitment. Ian, thanks for rolling up your sleeves every time we ask!
You can reach Ian by phone at 303-443-2050 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
So I asked Ian what the home loan pre approval process was like now-a-days and he directed me to this. The Perfect Loan Application. For detailed information, follow the link. I put together the most important points below.
Here is the bullet point home loan list:
Employment & Income
1. 2 years employment history including job titles, dates of employment, employer's address and phone numbers
2. Letter of explanation of any changes in employment of the past 2 years.
3. Pay stubs for the most recent 30 days.
4. Copies of W-2s for the last 2 years.
5. Copies of federal, personal and business tax returns for previous 2 tax years.
Your Residence Information
6. 2 years residence history including addresses, dates, and phone number for landlord if renting.
7. If you currently own a home, please provide the most recent mortgage statement.
8. Name and phone number of your homeowners insurance agent.
Bank & Other Statements
9. Most recent 2 months or quarterly bank statementsfor all checking, savings and investment accounts.
10. Most recent 2 months 401k/Retirement statements.
11. Copy of Earnest Money check when it clears your bank account, along with most recent bank statement showing check clearing. (Only applies if you are already under contract to purchase a home)
12. Non-Payroll deposits – it is necessary to verify the source and receive explanation for non-payroll deposits to your accounts, including any transfers between accounts. Please make a copy of any check you deposit.
If Applicable to You, the Below Items May Be Needed
1. Complete Divorce decree and/or separation papers.
2. Alimony/Child Support income: proof of receipt may be required.
3. Bankruptcy Discharge papers.
4. If receiving Retirement or Social Security Income: Award letter and proof of receipt may be required.
5. Attention: Gifts
If any portion of your down payment or closing costs is coming in the form of a gift, please notify your lender because the documentation required for gifts is fairly comprehensive.
6. VA loan: DD214 and Certificate of Eligibility.
If you have questions about home loan pre approval in Boulder County or any other parts of the home buying purchase you can always contact me at 303-956-1771 or email@example.com. I'd be happy to talk you through any questions or concerns you have.

Oil alarm sound?
I changed the oil in my Yanmar 30 and the alarm signal that usually 'beeps' at shut off stopped. The oil level is correct, right between the lines. Any ideas?:confused:
This is just a guess... but is your oil pressure sending unit built into your drain plug? Maybe a wire got disconnected?
Good luck
eng.alarm connection
I used a vac pump to get the oil out. But you have me thinking that I may have disconnect a wire somewhere. Will take a good look. Thanks
Also, just an idea (I'm grasping at straws), but make sure the actual ignition switch is good - in other words, when you set the key to "RUN" that it is actually closing a circuit. I had a SAAB 900 (car) that had the ignition switch go bad, and I could start the engine, but when I released the key back to "RUN", the circuit would open and shut down the engine. Also check that the buzzer itself is working. :)
Best of luck...

text: STRASBOURG, France, October 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament has become the latest influential body to back Ukraine's signing of the Association Agreement in Vilnius in November, which could then be ratified as early as spring 2014. The Committee Thursday approved a report prepared by co-chair of Euronest, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, which recommended the agreement should go ahead if Ukraine "meets the necessary conditions". This would mean at least a conditional release from prison for jailed former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko, which is presently being negotiated by the European Parliament. One of her lawyers, Serhiy Vlasenko, said in the past week that his client welcomes efforts by the European Parliament's envoys to Ukraine, Pat Cox and Aleksander Kwasniewski, to have her pardoned by Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych. That pardon would be conditional on her leaving Ukraine and agreeing not to return. News that the Foreign Affairs Committee is willing to back Ukraine's Association Agreement means yet another important European body is now in line with Kiev's agenda. As far back as May the European Commission said Ukraine deserves the deal, which will also trigger a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement. European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy, Stefan Fule, has also advocated Ukraine's inclusion, while in the past few weeks European MPs have also voiced their support. Thirty MPs from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) joined forces to praise the "continuing efforts of the Ukrainian authorities" in passing laws and introducing constitutional changes in line with EU criteria. "We welcome the continuing efforts of the Ukrainian authorities towards the implementation of reforms," they said in a joint declaration.

Fletcher Construction submitted the low bid for upgrading the Sheridan County Courthouse, thus securing the job.
Sheridan's County Commissioners approved two grants totaling approximately $65,000 to facilitate cooperation with the Division of State Forestry for wildfire mitigation.
Sheridan's County Commissioners secured four grants from the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security to go toward anti-terrorism measures in the county.
November is designated as a month to celebrate long-term home nursing care. Ann Aksamit of the Home Care and Hospice Department of Sheridan Memorial Hospital joined Public Pulse host, Kim Love, to explain some of the benefits of long-term home care.
The Gilead Fire, which started in August and burned nearly 8,200 acres and cost nearly $3.5 million to fight, was the area's largest and most visible fire to both Sheridan and Buffalo.
At their regular meeting today the Johnson County Commissioners will be getting an update from the Johnson County Fair Board on where the projects to improve and upgrade facilities at the fairgrounds now stand.
The Sheridan City Council elected to table the Holly Ponds Planned Unit Development #9 Monday night. The request from developer Ron Patterson consists of re-platting three lots and one out-lot into four lots.
United Blood Services and Domino's Pizza are sponsoring a "Black Friday" blood drive this week in Sheridan. UBS Senior Donor Recruitment Representative Mike Frigon says that having a blood drive one day after a holiday is something new for them.

Calculate the pH at the equivalence point of 25.0 mL of a 0.100 M acetic acid, CH3COOH, titrated with a 0.100 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH. Ka of acetic acid is 1x10^-5
You must recognize what you have at the equivalence point.
CH3COOH + NaOH ==> CH3COONa + H2O.
At the equivalence point, we have converted all of the CH3COOH to CH3COONa (sodium acetate) so we have M x L = 0.1 x 0.025 = 0.0025 moles sodium acetate. That is in a volume of 50 mL (the other 25 came from 25 mL of 0.1 M NaOH). The pH will be determined by the hydrolysis of water. If we call acetate, Ac^-, and acetic acid HAc, then
Ac^- + HOH ==> HAc + OH^-
Kb for acetate = (Kw/Ka) = (HAc)(OH^-)/(Ac^-).
Set up an ICE chart and solve.

Newnham in Paris, and the discoveries from the Rhone
At the weekend we did our annual Newnham Classics trip to Paris -- sponsored by some very generous donors. All the Part II students (plus me) hop on the Eurostar at 7.30 (after a unpleasantly early start), get to Paris by 10.45...do a swoop on the Louvre, have a long lunch, back for another session in the Louvre, have a drink in a pavement bar, and catch the 19.13 train back to London (knackered...but great revision, and fun).
The Louvre always springs surprises (not least this year a large hanging poster in the Pyramid of a colossal Tony Grafton, who is obviously about to lecture there -- on the left).
But rather more to the point, there was temporary exhibition on show, of archaeological discoveries from the river Rhone at Arles.
The star of the show was meant to be the Roman portrait, optimistically identified as Julius Caesar ("Mon dieu, c'est Jules César" as the underwater archaeologist is supposed to have shouted as soon as he had emerged from the river and taken his breathing equipment off...with slight Schliemann-like overtones).
I had seen pictures and films of this piece, and talked about him in my Washington DC lectures, but I had never actually met him in the flesh, so I was particularly keen to visit this exhibition.
The encounter didnt change my mind: this is a really wonderful Roman portrait, but there is hardly any reason at all to identify him as Caesar (and quite a few not to). Interestingly, they had brought the so-called Julius Caesar from Tusculum (now in Turin) as a comparison (on the right). This turns out to be a much less distinguished piece of work (and something nasty has happened to its marble surface) . . . and I honestly don't see why it should be a Julius Caesar either (except that there presumably are some statues of Caesar somewhere).
But the good news was that there was lots more in the show -- and an extraordinary glimpse of what Roman Arles must have looked like.
The real star of the show for me was actually a bronze statuette (about one quarter life-size) of a bearded captive, with is hands tied behind his back. Arles was a Roman colony, and presumably this was just one part of a triumphalist monument that shouted about Roman control of this part of the world.
And there was more of the same kind of thing. A lovely little figure of Victory (well lovely if you were on the right side, I guess) and some splendid bronze relief dolphins.
They all rather put the supposed Caesar in the shade.
So a good (and instructive) day was -- as you see -- had by all!

Arkanoid 2 is surprisingly the sequel to Arkanoid. Not surprised? Well I guess they gave it away in the originality of the title once again but of course it is the gameplay which you care about not the title so we'll let them off this time. And yes, it has gameplay by the bucketload, despite looking as boring as hell on the surface. Arkanoid, Arkanoid 2, Breakout, Megaball...etc. are all 'bat and ball' style games. You have a wall of bricks, a ball and a 'paddle' with the idea being to hit your ball against the wall knocking out the bricks until they are all gone in order to progress on to the next level. Yawning yet? Well ok there is a little more to it than just that. When you hit certain bricks you'll get a power-up, which may be something like extendig your paddle, splitting your ball into three, or the best one in this version being the laser, which gives your paddle a gun toting armoured coating to blast the bricks away. Also lurking above the bricks are aliens(well strange shaped things, the ealiest resembling ice-cream cones) which are released once you have broken through the final layer and generally hamper you as you try to keep your ball in play. When the ball hits the bottom of the screen because you missed it then you lose a life, knock out all the bricks and you are on to the nect level. OK, so it sounds as boring as hell, but trust me it isnt. Arkanoid 2 improves little over the original but offers more power-ups different setting and aliens and slighlty more polished graphics - everything else is the same. It would have been good to have had a level editor included but there never was so you have to put up with the ones they have designed, but that is just a minor gripe. Its probably one of the most addicting and frustrating games I have played on the Amiga and you'll spend many hours cursing and swearing at your screen should you ever purchase(hunt out and download) it. I ummm think it was fun, not too
sure thinking of the amount of cursing and swearing that went on whilst playing it, but it was certainly a good way to waste some time if you had some to kill that is for sure. Worth another look if you need yet another addictive computer experience.

Network Governance of R&D: Purchaser-Provider as Partnerships in a Public Sector Agency
Steffens, Paul R. & Matthews, Judy H. (2004) Network Governance of R&D: Purchaser-Provider as Partnerships in a Public Sector Agency. In British Academy of Management Conference, Aug 30 – Sept 2, St. Andrews, U.K.
|PDF (90kB)
Network forms of organizing are becoming increasingly common, yet less is known about their governance mechanisms than either markets or hierarchies. In this paper, we examine the restructure of a large government R&D agency from a network governance perspective. This longitudinal study tracks the R&D agency as it implemented "purchaser-provider", a popular public sector management reform with the intention of creating market-based competition as a governance mechanism to increase efficiency and effectiveness. In contrast, we found that this R&D purchaser-provider implementation behaved more like a partnership that was better characterized as network governance. That is, we observed a complex multi-stakeholder environment in which a mix of cooperation and competition work hand-in-hand, and social control mechanisms were prevalent. We analyze both the characteristics and the governance of this public-sector R&D network using several business network frameworks. To examine the characteristics of the network we drew mainly on the Scandinavian IMP group's actor-activity-resource model of business networks. To analyze network governance, we examine the four social mechanisms proposed by Jones, Hesterly and Borgatti (1997). We find that while some mechanisms, namely reputation and macro-culture were prevalent, other mechanisms such as sanctions and restricted access were not observed. Through these analyses of a business network in a somewhat unusual context, we develop a number of managerial and theoretical insights about network governance.

Loggerhead Shrike
This open-country bird is declining over most of its range. Males impales prey – large insects and small reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and passerines – on barbed wire and thorns to cache food and mark territories (indicating their fitness to potential mates).
With their sharp vision, Loggerheads can spot prey 70 yards away and can carry, using their bills, more than their own weight in flight.
Found in open country, lowland plains, grassy pastures, or hillsides with short grass and low shrubs and trees. Builds cup-like nest in thick shrubs or low trees.

Laser Liposuction
Before & After GalleryRequest a Consultation
Laser liposuction (or laser lipo) is a procedure that removes excess fat and tightens skin at the same time. Dr. Ching can perform laser lipo in our Honolulu, Hawaii, facilities on almost any area of the body, including smaller areas that can't be treated by traditional liposuction. Popular treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, face, waist, inner and outer thighs, hips and neck.
If you are looking for a plastic surgeon in Honolulu to perform laser liposuction, request a consultation with Dr. Shim Ching, or call our office at (808) 585-8855 to schedule an appointment.
About Laser Liposuction
Visit the following pages to learn more about laser liposuction and Dr. Ching's impressive credentials:
Advantages of Laser Liposuction
This remarkable cosmetic procedure is extremely popular because it offers many benefits and advantages, including:
- Tightening loose skin
- Quick recovery time
- Minimal discomfort
- Minimal downtime
- Can treat small areas
- Short treatment time
Your Laser Liposuction Procedure
After coming to our Hawaii offices, your laser liposuction will begin with a small incision made in the desired area. A thin probe with a laser on the end will then be inserted to break the fat cells down into a liquid form. Dr. Ching suctions melted fat immediately, providing better results than other laser lipo procedures that can leave behind dead fat cells to be reabsorbed by the body.
Laser Lipo Results
The laser treatment also has an impact on your skin collagen. This tightens your skin, which results in a smoother, sleeker look. These benefits are achieved in very little time. The standard laser liposuction session often takes less than 1 hour from start to finish.
The incision is extremely small. In addition, you experience little to no pain or bruising from laser lipo. Some patients return to work the next day. Others may need another 24 to 48 hours before getting back to their normal schedule, but this is still a dramatic change from conventional liposuction.
It should be noted that the skin does need a few weeks to adjust afterward. Although you'll see some immediate change, the best results from your laser lipo will take time to appear. Therefore you should not judge the outcome by what you see initially.

Anyone else recall the gamecube? I know that many readers were a bit young when it, the Xbox, and the PS2 reigned over the console landscape, but I'm sure some of you remember it too. The gamecube was a great little box which supported some great games and to this day the editors will recall it lovingly every three or four pod casts, but at the time it wasn't so cool. Back at the lunch table everyone was talking about Halo while I tried to explain what Metroid Prime was, everyone was playing Grand Theft Auto while I was exploring super Mario sunshine and everyone seemed convinced that their Xbox or PS2 was better then the poor little purple box. I was told over and over how the ol' cube's hardware, games and controller were terribly inferior by almost all my peers consoles. Looking back, the gamecube really was a great console with some great games that's beloved by the critics, but not the masses, and I don't think anything will change with the Wii U.
Sadly, Nintendo just wasn't "Cool" then and still isn't now. With the launch of the Wii U I see the old grumblings that plagued the Gamecube, voiced primarily by those who had rarely played the console and I realize that nothing has really changed. Back in the day it was "the gamecube is junk 'cause it can't play DVD's and can't play games over the internet" and now it's "The Wii U sucks because the launch lineup is ports and the hardware will soon be dated". Seeing the similarity in the two eerily similar situations, it might be worthwhile to make some predictions about how this generation will appear looking back 10 years from now. So here goes!
1) Haters gonna hate! People who don't own Wii U tend to believe their console of choice is best, and some will chose to express their opinions rather trollingly. And just like in the old days, when lack of a DVD drive made a console garbage regardless of how many great games it had, the lack of horsepower will be a deal breaker for many. Similarly, while the lack of internet gaming led some to call the gamecube inferior regardless of its innovative points, a funny controller will make the Wiii U worthless regardless of it's cool uses. There are plenty of points to hate about the Wii U, but you can just as easily find just as many cool things about the Wii U, and there will always be the trolls who ignore innovation in favor or raining on someone else parade.
2) You won't notice it if your don't try to. Even the most reasonable PC, 360 or PS3 owner won't notice the Wii U's upsides if they don't ever see it (unless they are cool enough to keep informed on sites like IGN). Gamecubes largest problem in the US was a its much smaller install base. Fewer people had a Gamecube, so fewer people knew what its great points were compared to their own consoles, and therefore, it was never noticed by many. If the Wii U doesn't sell a ton of consoles people wont ever get to know it and it will remain "that under powered console with some crazy extra screen" in the minds of the gamer masses. This point may be moot if the Wii U sells well, but it seems like it may be off to a slow start.
So what do you think? Do you see any other comparisons between the Wii U and gamecube that are worth noting? Do you think my arguments are reasonable? Let the world know below, and thanks for reading!

The ramparts we guard (edition 1950)
by Robert M. MacIver
Work details
The Ramparts We Guard by R.M. MacIver
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A short book about understanding democracy, appreciating it and living up to its standards of equality and freedom of thought, in other words guarding the democratic ramparts. The book was aimed for an American audience in the 1950s but most of its message applies directly to present day democracies as well. The first half of the book deals with the nature of democracy, the second and third parts with its internal and external risks. The author vividly argues that democracy may soon be lost if it is taken for granted. Few political thinkers can match his ability to condense important insights into every paragraph.

Every now and again someone writes me and asks if I think dogs grieve.
Plenty of veterinarians, plus my own experience says that grief in dogs is quite real.
If you've ever seen your pet acting down after a companion dies that's grief.
Likewise, a major change can bring about feelings of grief.
Dogs feel grief and anxiety just like you and I.
My guess is you've seen your pet grieving and you want to help.
While grief in dogs can occur because of a loss of a companion, change can also bring about feelings of sadness or even anxiety.
Dogs like Routine
In other words, change can also affect your dog negatively. If your dog is acting unlike himself, consider if any of the following affect your environment.
• Are you moving? • Have you had a lot of company recently? • Is there a new baby in the house? • Did you just bring this dog home? • Or, did you bring another dog into the house? • Did you just go on vacation leaving Fido behind?
In a dog's mind, all of these can be reasons to be fearful and feel anxious or even grieve.
Signs of grief include: • lethargy • lack of appetite • wandering around the house looking for someone, general down spirits • Whimpering
Signs of anxiety include:• All of the above• sometimes destructive behavior
Here's How You Can Help
If your pet doesn't start feeling better after a few days, you might be getting worried. Your pet is showing signs of stress and needs you. You can support his or her emotional health by spending some extra time together.
Give your pet a massage. Go on extra walks or play his favorite games together more often.
Homeopathic Support for Grieving or Anxious Dogs
You can also support your pet with homeopathic remedies.
Here's a formula that can support your pet's distraught spirit and help him to heal.
It's completely safe and natural as it's a homeopathic remedy.
It promotes "overall wellness" and won't interfere with other medications. You might choose to use it daily or only during times of stress.
It works on cats too.
Here's how it works. You just drop a few granules on your pets tongue and they dissolve, helping your pet feel calmer.
Users report happy, healthy dogs within a few doses.
What's in it?
Safe ingredients like Chamomile calm your pet while the natural remedy Ignatia supports emotional health.
Grief in dogs is a very real emotion. So is anxiety. Why not try this natural solution to support your pet's well being?

1986 Fleetwood FWD in dash GPS installation
Has anyone installed an aftermarket head unit (GPS, AM/FM, DVD player) in this model? Sure would like some tips and suggestions. I checked out the Crutchfield site and none of the units they sell are marked as "fit this model".

Re: 1986 Fleetwood FWD in dash GPS installation
I am currently installing a Kenwood KOS-V1000 with a KOS-l702 monitor. The trouble with your year Deville is it uses a "1.5 Din" radio used in only earlier year GM's and some Chrysler's. It is also a short depth radio. Any radio that has a CD or DVD drive will be too long to sit in the dash without sticking out the front. This is even true with the Factory CD players that GM made for this radio format.
The Kenwood KOS system and the Alpine VPA system both use a separate touch screen video monitor with a remote receiver. You can add CD,DVD players, Satellite receivers, Digital FM receivers and much more. It is built on a component system adding just what you need. (Bluetooth is also available as a module)
The monitor will fit into the dash without any visible modifications. You will just need to make a pair of fillers to go on each side of the monitor to fill up the extra space. I am using 2 pieces of wood which i am trying to finish to match the rest of the wood. I am also mounting the jack for the USB Thumb Drive stick for my recorded music in the right wood trim piece.
These where expensive systems when they where new but are now discontinued and showing up on eBay at reasonable prices. I have sourced 2 complete systems for very reasonable prices. (One of them all NOS the other mostly NOS).
My parts list:
KOS-V1000 Receiver
KOS-L702 Touch Screen Monitor
KNA-G510 Navigation Module
KCA-BT300 Bluetooth Module
KTC-SR902 Sirius Receiver (Got this one with Lifetime Subscription)
I have not yet decided on speakers but am partial to the Kenwood factory replacements.
I do not have any CD or DVD players as i use the satellite and USB drives for my music and do not believe in Video in a car. (personal preference)
I also do not plan to use any external amps as the KOS-V1000 has a decent one built in. It is however set up with regular line out and sub woofer line outs for interface with any aftermarket amps. It is specifically made for the Kenwood Excelon series of amps. (I am just over the big amp days of my youth)
Good luck and i will post pictures when i am finished. (may be a while though as i have other projects that are taking preference at the moment)

To feel better - inside and out :) So happy!
The Best Surgeon - Hands Down - Del Mar, CA
To feel better - inside and out :) So happy!
The first and most important characteristic I look for in a doctor is how patients are treated. I was referred to Dr. Marin by a good friend who promised I would be well taken care of at Marin Aesthetics. Once I met Dr. Marin, I knew he was the right doctor for me. He is kind, patient, gentle, polite and attentive - to name a few :) His staff is friendly, happy to see clients and eager to help. One attribute I love about the staff is their smiling faces when I arrive - what a warm welcome! It is obvious Marin Aesthetics are appreciative of their patients. Dr. Marin's work is brilliantly beautiful - he is precise, dedicated and takes the time to fully understand my desired result. Dr. Marin has far exceeded my hopes; he helped me find the right size of implants for my body, achieving an overall gorgeous result. I feel beautiful both inside and out. Referring Dr. Marin to family and friends is a no-brainer as I am certain they will be treated well and obtain fantastic results. It is a great feeling to know I have found my doctor for the rest of my life :) Give Marin Aesthetics a call - it is so worth it! Thank you Dr. Marin and your amazing Team!

He mentioned V8s but is hesitant because of MPG, I told him alot of the V8s out there get as good MPG as some of the V6s, like the Trailblazer SS 6.0L V8 close to 400hp but I think it has DOM (displacement on demand) which makes for some decent MPG, of course when your driving like a grandma or cruising on the highway that is.

I never understood why someone would let their wife dictate which car they buy (presuming relative price stays consistant throughout each option).
If you want a Z06 and the wife says "no" because it costs $70k and you just don't have the money, etc.. etc.. that is understandable.
But the R32/WRX/STI are all around the same price and he is the one driving it so why the hell does it matter what she thinks?
If that's something that is associate with marriage, i'll pass thank you very much.
Luckily my current s/o is into cars

If your family's budget won't allow you to purchase a $30K+ car responsibly, then price also becomes a factor. It's difficult to get past, but in most marriages, "your money" is no longer "your money" in the same sense. But then you've heard me rant in the past.
Agreed that within these boundaries, the SO shouldn't be able to strongarm you into buying what she wants, especially not if you're a car enthusiast. Thankfully, my wife knows better.

But my post was more in response to the OP's friend. His wife wants him to consider a car that is priced just the same as the car he wants... and it's not like he is trying to pick up a 2-seater or anything. The STI/WRX are 4door cars and the R32 while being a 2door has tons of room in the rear (more than a wrx actually).
I am not sure how to entirely convey my point at the moment, but I get what you're saying... If you have a family you pass on the vette and get the camry. But if the car your wife wants you to get is priced the same as the car you want, and the car you want could reasonably transport a family of 3 or 4, why not?
Of course it might be a bit more difficult putting a child in the rear seat of a wrx or R32, but in the end it still works, the safety of the child is not comprimised, you haven't spent more money and you own a car you enjoy. Seems like a fair compromise to me

R32's are nice but to pricey to mod my buddy has one and he couldnt keep up with my wrx, but they do launch very nasty
I actually currently drive a 06 GTI and am looking for an 06 WRX. anyways, everytihng that was stated was pretty much on point(other then the people who dont like to work on their cars and are collar poppers, thats BS). The R32 may have 250hp but is only putting down 185-195awhp and tq is right around 200-210awtq(if that), so I can see a WRX walking a R32(06+) easy since the R32 weighs a ton. Now as far as refinement the WRX or STI really cant touch the R, they are incredible cars that come with every minor to major feature you can imagine. They are very well built, classy and have the "umph" you need in everyday driving. By no means is the R32 a straight line champ but it WILL most def. hold its own on the autoX track. I wish the R32 didnt come with only DSG and the Halidex AWD(primarily FWD unless senses loss of traction). As far as looks go with the R32, it is one of the hottest hatches out there. They are in no way cheap, flimsy or not put together well. If you have had bad experiences then you were a unfortunate one(it comes with every car, not ALL of them will be up to par including subies). The DSG with Launch control will launch better then 90% of the manual drivers out there(if not more), the DSG system is an amazing peformer(gotta love the paddle shifters too hehe). Anyways, just wanted to throw my .02cents in. Im looking forward to the vast knowledge and insight you all have into subarus as I hope to get mine very soon.
P.S. GTI's arent that bad either. With Stage 2 software, DP, Intake you can have a 240whp 270-280wtq FWD commuter. not too shabby if you ask me(please dont hate me hehe). But nothing will ever beat an AWD turbo, WRX/STI FTW!

Don't buy this. It's a piece of junk. We can't get even one shower of hot water from it. Our installer has had similar problems with other customers. GE told us to set it on "High Demand" and that made the capacity worse. The installer set the temperature up to 140 degrees and GE told us we would get burned. Nothing has worked. I know GE has had a lot of complaints and they suggest only one solution that of setting it on High Demand which doesn't work and even if it did you would use more energy. What a rip off. We have asked for our money back.
Really....wow....thanks for the comment...I was seriously thinking of buying one :(
Ed - this is Megan from GE. Sorry to hear about the issues you've been having. Please email me the details at email@example.com and I'll look into it.
I have had the same issue with the one we bought. My husband called GE and got the same answer. High demand does not help. I called GE and they said "you have already called, next time call repair". Then they said I would have to pay a repair person to come out since its not covered by warranty. Yay...we bought one month ago and can take one shower with it...but not covered by warranty? My 20 yr old 30 gallon water heater did a better job.
Update from Edklep The unit was installed on Dec 3, 2009. During first use ran out of hot water when taking one shower. Setting was on Hybrid 120 degrees. Installer came back next day and said they'd had similar problems. The only fix they had was setting water temp to 140 degrees. Called GE customer service who told me to set temp back to 120 and change setting to High Demand. Same problem-ran out taking one shower with one small load of clothes washing on warm/cold in Energy Star washer. GE customer service said they had problems with dip tube being defective. Installer came out and with great difficulty-couldn't remove tube-but did a fish tape inspection of tube and said it was OK. Condenser tubes and check valve took a beating as he tried to tear the tube out with no luck. Had to use a hammer on a pipe wrench to get the check valve removed. Called GE and the Customer Service Rep told me it was my fault because my shower head was 2.5 gal/min and I could only expect to take a 12 minute shower before I would run out. 2.5 is a standard head not high flow. Installer now tells me to set temp up to 130 and set on high demand. We have a family of four with three bathrooms. I had to go to the added expense of installing a new 52 gal standard tank to ensure hot water. I know that the most recent suggestion will not work but will try it anyway
Wow, here I was all psyched to order and install this unit and based on this feedback we're back to looking at an electric only (energy inefficient) unit. I have two teenage sons, I'd be happy to install low flow shower heads but it seems this technology does not have the capacity to meet even low to average demand. I'll be interested to see what other folks say.

The Religious Society of Friends, known as Quakers, originated in the cauldron of the 17th-century English Civil War, one of many new religious groups to appear at that time.
The Reformation begun by Calvin and Luther sought to rid the Church of objects and rituals that had been added since apostolic times. The Quakers completed the process, removing anything perceived as interfering with a direct experience of God.
The Society of Friends began in the vision and ministry of George Fox (1624-1691), the originator of the uniquely Quaker concept of the Inner Light. His Journal and other writings still influence the movement today.
Sacred Texts
The Friends' scripture is the Bible, but the Bible is not the source of all faith and practice. The Holy Spirit speaks to anyone who follows the Inner Light, and the Spirit has higher authority than the written word.
Historical Perspectives
