Re: WWE: Turning The Corner
WWE Raw
Birmingham England
22nd October 2007
*Opening Video and Pyro*
We then go to ringside where JR and King welcome us to the show, and they go to run down tonights show when No Chance In Hell hits, and the Corporation consisting of Vince McMahon, Jonathon Coachman, Ken Kennedy and WWE Champion Randy Orton make their way down to the ring to some huge heat. Vince McMahon starts off the show by introducing the newest addition and bodyguard to the Corporation UMAGA! This leads to Umaga coming down to the ring with his manager Armando Estrada, who shakes hands with the Corporation members while Umaga stares a hole through Kennedy and Orton. Vince then announces that because General Manager Steve Austin put his hands on a WWE wrestler last week, this week he is suspended and that Vince McMahon will be the General Manager for the night. Vince McMahon then uses his power by making two huge matches. The first sees John Cena facing Umaga in where John Cenas right arm is tied behind his back. Vince McMahon then says that he wants to punish his bastard son Chris Jericho tonight, to which Ken Kennedy says that he wants a piece of Jericho tonight. Vince then makes the match as Chris Jericho takes on Ken Kennedy, John Morrison and Kevin Thorn in a 3 v 1 handicap match. This pleases Kennedy who gives a friendly tap to the back of Umaga, who doesnt take it so well and goes to attack Umaga only for Estrada to block him off. Randy Orton then takes the mic and he goes to speak when Here Comes the Money cuts him off and Shane McMahon steps on the stage with a mic. Shane says he has been watching from the back and he is sick and tired of Vince abusing his power. Shane says that however since Vince is making matches, he wants one. Vince looks on surprised before asking who to which Shane responds YOU! Shane challenges his father to a No Holds Barred Match. Before Vince can answer Randy Orton cuts in and shouts at Shane for cutting him off. Orton says that if Shane wants a No Holds Barred Match, he is going to have to face Randy Orton. Shane accepts and says that even though their match is later, he wants a piece of Randy Orton now. Shane then explodes to the ring, but is predictably out numbered by the Corporation members. This is until John Cena and Chris Jericho run down to make the save to which the Corporation flee the ring.
Commercial Break
Match 1
Tag Team Match
Redneck Wrecking Crew v The Hooligans
Birmingham England is treated to one of the best Tag Team matches in recent times, with a very fast paced back and forth contest with numerous near falls making for a very good match. Halfway into the match Paul London took a very big bump after missing a Suicide dive to the outside, when Murdoch saved his team-mate Lance Cade by pushing him out of the way and London crashed head first onto the floor on the outside. This effectively made it a Handicap match for a few minutes, but despite the predicament Brian Kendrick took it to both Cade and Murdoch. Brian Kendrick would of even took the victory after hitting the Sliced Bread onto Trevor Murdoch, only for Lance Cade to make the save. But the same could have been said when Cade hit the Sitout Spinebuster onto Kendrick, but London got back into the ring and made the save. Mayhem then let loose in the last few moments with Brian Kendrick being tossed to the outside while attempting the Sliced Bread onto Cade, and then Cade makes the save for Murdoch shoving London off the top rope while attempting to go for a Shooting Star Press. Murdoch then finished London off with his sloppy version off the Canadian Destroyer for the victory.
Winners: The Redneck Wrecking Crew in 9:21
Post match saw Cade and Murdoch take the tag team titles, which were in London and Kendricks possession (Even though they belong to the Worlds Greatest Tag Team). Then the Worlds Greatest Tag Team come down to the ring and thank them for beating Londrick by hugging them. They then ask for Cade and Murdoch to hand over the belts back to them. Cade and Murdoch look at the belts and think about it before putting the belts out in front of them. But when Benjamin and Haas go to take them, Cade and Murdoch strike them over the skulls with the belts. Cade and Murdoch then leave with the Worlds Greatest Tag Teams Tag Team Championships, much like Cryme Time and The Hooligans have in recent weeks. Benjamin and Haas are livid as they reach their feet as they have gone another week without their Championships as we go backstage.
We go backstage to see RVD doing the splits warming up for his match later tonight when Ken Kennedy walks into the scene. Kennedy looks at RVD and laughs asking him what the hell he is doing, RVD goes to answer when Ken Kennedy cuts him off and saying he didnt want to know that bad. Ken Kennedy then says that RVD might look impressive beating a non wrestler like Jonathon Coachman to an inch of his life last week, but in reality RVD is a nobody anymore. Ken Kennedy says that beating Jonathon Coachman will be as high as he can get today, bar being on the road with Sabu. Ken Kennedy laughs at his own joke with some members of the crowd, as RVD looks down at the floor and smirks, before getting onto his feet and gets into Ken Kennedys face. A pissed off RVD asks Kennedy to repeat what he just said, to which Kennedy mocks RVD by imitating RVDs surfer style attitude. This infuriates RVD some more and he asks Kennedy to repeat his phrase again, and Ken Kennedy goes to respond only for RVD to knock Ken Kennedy to the floor with a big hard right hand. RVD then tells Kennedy that RVD 4:20 just smoked his ass before heading off as Kennedy holds onto his cheek shocked at what just went down.
We then see a video graphic announcing that Mickie James will return next week after being viciously attacked by Umaga back in August. After that we go backstage to see Womens Champion Beth Phoenix who watched the announcement on the television, and she smirks as we go to a commercial break.
Commercial Break
Match 2
Singles Match
Matt Stryker v Rob Van Dam
Matt Stryker puts on a decent performance against Rob Van Dam, but it was a match that RVD dominated continuing to show his physical side of late. The only offence Matt Stryker really got in came after RVD went to hit Stryker with a Steel Chair, only for the referee to snatch the chair of RVD and Stryker took advantage with an unsighted low blow. After a short period of offence, RVD came back into the match after an Enzuigiri out of nowhere. RVD then gained momentum going through his moveset, finishing Stryker off with a Five Star Frog Splash.
Winner: RVD in 5:07
RVD has no time to celebrate his easy victory however as immediately after the match Ken Kennedy attacks him from behind. Kennedy drops RVD with the Mic Check, before taking him to the top rope and hitting the Green Bay Plunge. Ken Kennedy then leaves the ring to big heat. Ken Kennedy looks on from the ramp with a big smile on his face, as RVD slowly recovers looking down the ramp at Kennedy looking very angry.
We then go backstage to see Chris Jericho warming up for his match later tonight when John Cena walks into the scene. Jericho immediately stops warming up and gets into John Cenas face and the two men lock eyes. Cena tells Y2J to calm down and says he doesnt want any trouble. Cena says even though he wasnt happy at first, he would like to congratulate Chris Jericho on winning the chance to get a title shot at Randy Orton and says that he is sure that Chris Jericho will kick Randy Ortons ass at Survivor Series and become WWE Champion. Cena then however says that Chris Jerichos reign will be about as successful as his music career, because John Cena will make sure he gets the first title shot and will make sure that he once again becomes WWE Champion. Cena then goes friendly again and says that he will have Jerichos back tonight in his three on one handicap match and his match at Survivor Series where the Corporation will most likely get involved and help Randy Orton. Jericho thanks Cena for his offer but says that Cena has a match with Umaga next where his arm is tied behind his back and the most likely outcome is that Umaga will make John Cena suffer as bad as everybody who brought John Cenas rap album. Chris Jericho says that tonight he is going to prove why he is the Ayatollah of RocknRola, and why he is going to become the next WWE Champion by giving three assclowns a beating that will make them never ever feel the same again.
Commercial Break
Match 3
Singles Match (John Cenas right arm tied behind his back)
John Cena v Umaga with Armando Alejandro Estrada
Despite the huge odds put against Cena, straight from the get go John Cena takes it to Umaga spearing him between the middle ropes to the outside. John Cena then started pounding away at Umaga and went to whip him into the Steel Steps, only for Umaga to counter and send Cena shoulder first into the steel steps. Umaga then started to go through his moveset on John Cena inside the ring, dominating the former WWE Champion after catching him off the ropes with a spinning side slam. Cena continued to show resiliency however kicking out of a top rope Bodysplash by Umaga, before dodging the Samoan Wrecking Ball in the corner a few moments later. John Cena then started to pick up momentum going through his traditional finishing sequence hitting a clothesline, shoulder block takedown, throwback followed by the five knuckle shuffle. Cena then went for the F-U but he couldnt get Umaga onto his shoulders, but moments later he locked on a one armed STF-U onto Umaga. Umaga looked to be in real trouble until RANDY ORTON CAME OUT OF NOWHERE HITTING THE PUNT KICK TO JOHN CENA forcing the referee to call for the bell.
Winner: John Cena via DQ in 5:32
After the match Corporation members Randy Orton and Umaga start beating down a defenceless John Cena with Estrada shouting orders at Umaga. Randy Orton held John Cena back allowing Umaga to hit Cena with the Samoan Spike. Randy Orton then sized his adversary for the RKO when Time to Play the Game hits and a bandaged Triple H comes down to the ring with a Sledgehammer in hand. Orton and Umaga wait for Triple H to get in the ring and it looks like they will have the advantage until suddenly Randy Orton rolls out of the ring. Umaga turns his back on Triple H and shouts in Samoan at Randy Orton, only to turn around into Triple H who tackles Umaga to the floor and starts pounding away at Umaga wanting revenge for the beat down Umaga delivered to Triple H at No Mercy. Triple H then smashes the Sledgehammer over the skull of Umaga, and drops him with a Pedigree. Randy Orton looks at what happened to his fellow Corporation member as Triple H looks down at a bloodied Umaga and says that is what happens when you play the game.
We then go backstage to see Todd Grisham standing with Hardcore Holly. Grisham shows Holly footage of Cody turning on Holly two weeks ago on Raw, and then goes to ask him a question before Holly cuts him off by telling Cody to listen up. Holly warns Cody that no rookie screws around with Hardcore Holly and gets away without getting there ass handed to them. Holly tells Cody that he chose the wrong guy to mess with to make an impact. Holly finished off by saying he couldnt care less what his last name is and who his dad is because tonight he is going to beat some respect into Cody Rhodes.
Commercial Break
When we return from commercial we see Hardcore Holly waiting in the ring for his opponent when Cody Rhodes appears on the Titantron sitting on a bench in Washington with the Whitehouse clearly in the background. Cody Rhodes apologises to Hardcore Holly because he would of loved to of punked Hardcore Holly out one more time, but there was no way that this match would happen in England. Cody then does the traditional country insult that the WWE is in to gain heat, mocking the English Football Team (Or Soccer for you yanks) for not being able to qualify for Euro 2008. Cody tells Hardcore not to worry however as he has picked a replacement for tonight. Then moments later Snitsky makes his way down to the ring
Match 4
Singles Match
Hardcore Holly v Snitsky
Holly and Snitsky put on a total stinker of a match, but please tell me you werent expecting a 5 star classic? Hardcore Holly looked very good in the early going nearly taking the victory after a big dropkick, but the tide of the match turned when Snitsky caught Holly off the ropes with a big boot which nearly took Hollys head off his shoulders. Snitsky then worked over the ribs of Hardcore Holly, getting Holly into a Bearhug, which seemed to be on forever. But Holly eventually broke the hold and started fighting back at Snitsky. After several close falls, Holly took the victory after Holly showed a lot of strength hitting the Alabama Slammer to Snitsky to take the three count.
Winner: Hardcore Holly in 5:25
After the match Hardcore celebrates his physical victory over Snitsky when from the crowd comes CODY RHODES who takes Hardcore down with a clothesline from behind. Cody then starts stomping away at Hardcore on the mat, before going to the outside and grabbing a Steel Chair. Cody places the chair on the floor and hits a second rope hanging DDT to Hardcore face first on the Steel Chair. Cody then celebrates his attack on Hardcore as we go backstage
We then go backstage to see Vince McMahon talking to Ken Kennedy and Randy Orton, with Vince telling Orton to get the job done on Chris Jericho. Randy Orton cuts in and asks Vince if they want to talk about the plan now, but a bandaged Umaga and Alejandro Estrada quickly interrupt them and Umaga goes to attack Orton who grabs Jonathon Coachman and uses him as a shield. Vince tells Umaga to back off to which Umaga shouts out something in Samoan. Estrada asks Orton why he left Umaga high and dry with Triple H like that, to which Orton says he couldnt risk himself when he has a No Holds Barred match tonight. Vince tries to calm Umaga down by saying that next week he can get revenge on Triple H, but for now the Corporation need to work as a unit. He says that they have successfully taken out John Cena, but now they need to do the same thing to Chris Jericho and his son Shane. He then tells Orton and Umaga to shake hands and they walk off in different directions. Vince then goes back to talking to Kennedy and says that he and Coach will accompany Kennedy to the ring so they can witness Chris Jericho get taught a lesson as we go to a commercial.
Commercial Break
Match 5
3 v 1 Handicap Match
John Morrison(W/Melina), Ken Kennedy(W/Vince McMahon and Jonathon Coachman) and Kevin Thorn(W/Ariel) v Chris Jericho
Just like earlier tonight with John Cena, despite the huge odds against Chris Jericho he took it to all three of his opponents straight from the get go. Jericho took all three men to the outside, before catapulting himself ontop of them all on the outside. Chris Jericho looked to finish the match off as early as he could when he went for the Liansault on Kennedy, but when he jumped onto the middle rope Kevin Thorn took him inside out with a Clothesline. Thorn, Morrison and Kennedy wrestled an effective game taking turns to put a beating on Chris Jericho using very quick tags. But late on in the match Chris Jericho slid off Kevin Thorn who attempted a Crucifix Powerbomb and got himself back into the match with an enzuigiri. Jericho then started to clean house taking all out three of his opponents with clotheslines, dropkicks and spinning wheel kicks. Chris Jericho then looked to have the match won after hitting the Codebreaker, but Vince pulled the referee to the outside and knocked him out with a hard right hand. This distracted Chris Jericho who was then ambushed by Kennedy, Morrison and Thorn until CM PUNK AND RVD MADE THE SAVE! But the heels regained the advantage moments later when Intercontinental Champion CARLITO and UMAGA came out which gave the Heels a 5 on 3 advantage. Umaga looked to hit Jericho with the Samoan Spike when JOHN CENA and TRIPLE H STARTED SPRINTING DOWN TO THE RING! Mayhem let loose as a ten-man brawl ensued in the ring, which then became 8 as Triple H and Umaga fought through the crowd. Eventually Chris Jericho was left in the ring alone with John Morrison, and Jericho locked on the Walls of Jericho onto Morrison. On the outside Vince McMahon grabbed a chair and brought it into the ring. Vince went to hit Jericho with it from behind when
Glass Shatters
The Birmingham crowd jumped to their feet as Stone Cold made his way to the ring with a referees T-Shirt on. Stone Cold got into the ring and looked to go after Vince when Jonathon Coachman hit Austin with a forearm from behind. Vince scurried out of the ring as Coachman received yet another beating getting a Stone Cold Stunner. Stone Cold then saw John Morrison tapping out to the Walls of Jericho and called for the bell giving Jericho the win.
Winner: Chris Jericho in 8:04
After the match Chris Jericho celebrated his victory as Vince McMahon kicked the ring apron in frustration and shouted DAMN YOU AUSTIN, DAMN YOU JERICHO. Stone Cold then grabbed a mic and said that nobody can suspend Stone Cold Steve Austin and says that because of Vince making Austin miss his flight Vince is going to get his ass kicked. Austin says that there are bigger issues to deal with however and that is that at Survivor Series there is going to be a ten man elimination tag team match. Austin announces that Umaga will captain a team consisting of Ken Kennedy, Intercontinental Champion Carlito, John Morrison and Kevin Thorn to take on a team captained by Triple H, which also includes John Cena, CM Punk, Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy. Austin also announces a match for next weeks Raw which sees Chris Jericho takes on Ken Kennedy, where if Jericho wins he gets 5 minutes in the ring alone with Vince McMahon. Austin then finally announces that if any Corporation member interferes in tonights main event they will be fired. Austin tells Vince thats what happens when you screw with the General Manager of Raw and thats the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so. We then go backstage as Vince looks on at Chris Jericho in worry, as Jericho smiles as he knows he could get his hands on his father next week.
We then go backstage to see Todd Grisham now standing by Shane McMahon who are both watching the monitor. Todd briefly comments on the carnage we just saw before asking Shane what was his intention on challenging the WWE Champion to a No Holds Barred Match when there is not a very high chance that he will win. Shane tells Josh that he is right and there is not much chance that a non wrestler is going to go out and beat the WWE Champion, but says who said anything about winning. Shane says that he couldnt care less if he wins or he loses, all that matters to him is that he tears Randy Orton apart. Shane says that somebody needed to stand up to his dad and the Corporation, and he is going to be the man to do just that. He says he is sick of his dad abusing his power making matches to weaken members of the Raw roster who he doesnt like. Shane says that one day the Corporation is going to be taken out, and that he might not be the man to do it but tonight he is going to take Randy Orton to hell with him. Shane then picks up a Kendo Stick off the floor and walks away as we go to a commercial break with the No Holds Barred Match next.
Commercial Break
Survivor Series Commercial
Match 6
No Holds Barred Match-Non Title
WWE Champion Randy Orton v Shane McMahon
After being treated to the HBK v John Cena classic earlier on in the year, they are treated to another great match as Randy Orton and Shane McMahon put on one of the best Raw Main Events of the year. Straight from the get go things got early when Shane attacked Orton during his entrance with the Kendo Stick. After whipping Orton into the steel steps, both men fought into the crowd which saw Randy Orton bust Shane McMahon open after hitting him with a Steel Chair. This was where Shanes momentum came to a crashing halt as Orton picked up near fall after near fall with Orton working over the head of Shane McMahon. The closest Orton came to victory in the early going was when he hit a hanging DDT from the barricade on the outside dropping Shane head first onto the concrete, with Shane kicking out just before 3. Shane looked to be out of the match and Orton decided to go and finish off Shane by going for the Punt to the head, but somehow Shane countered it by tripping Orton face first onto the steel steps. Shane then showed off a lot of aggression throwing constant hard right hands to Orton on the ground for nearly half a minute before taking Ortons head off with a Baseball Bat shot to the skull. Shane came ever so close to victory about 12 minutes into the match after dropping Orton head first on the Steel Ramp with a Piledriver only for Orton to kick out at 2 somehow. Shane moments later went to end the match as he set Orton up for the Van Terminator, but at the last gasp second Randy Orton rolled out of the way and Shane crashed into the trash can. Orton then looked for the RKO, but CHRIS JERICHO sped down to the ring. Jericho and Orton went at it tooth and nail exchanging hard right hands before Orton kicked Jericho in the mid section and went for the RKO, but Jericho countered it by tossing a mid air Orton over the top rope. Jericho then stripped the Announce Table off its monitors and placed Orton on the table. Jericho then climbed AND LOCKED ON THE WALLS OF JERICHO TO ORTON ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! After nearly a minute of the move locked on, referees came down to pull Jericho off Orton and take him to the back. Meanwhile Shane McMahon climbed up to the top rope, AND DROVE ORTON THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A DIVING ELBOW DROP! A lifeless Shane McMahon placed his arm over the chest of Orton and picked up the mother of shocks getting a victory over the WWE Champion!
Winner: Shane McMahon in 16:43
After the match Shane is helped to his feet by the referee, and even though he is the winner it doesnt look like he even realises it. Corporation members Vince McMahon, Jonathon Coachman and Ken Kennedy then flood down to the ring to help out the WWE Champion who is holding onto his leg and screaming in agony. The Corporation members try to help Orton to his feet, but he cannot stand on his own weight. We then hear a concerned Randy Orton say he cant move it as Vince yells out for paramedics. Paramedics come down with a stretcher and place a badly hurt Randy Orton onto the stretcher as even JR has a voice of concern for Orton realising Orton has suffered a bad injury. Raw then comes to a close as Orton is stretchered away backstage.

Looking forward to downloading and seeing what works/doesn't work! Set aside next 2 days for testing.
No announcement yet.
Windows 8 Consumer Preview
new posts
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/iso link should be good to go! SNO
I've got it installed and running. Yes the start button is gone. Drivers don't seem to be an issue. I still have a couple of devices to sort out but it is running fine. Now I will add RR to it and see what happens. I doubt there will be any issues; it ran fine on the preview edition.
sound fun, is it complicated to install this over windows 7. i've reformatted before but never ventured into installing an entire new operating system. Can you jot down a quick tutorial or is this something more... involved lol
Results so far on my BlazerPC, Atom 1.6 single core 1G RAM, which used to be Win 7
Used the USB key install method, was quicker than Win7 install using the same method, however I did use a different USB key.
Didn't recognize the onboard audio, Win7 didn't either, gotta go find the drivers.
Windows Update already has 6 updates!
Boots fast, but apps take longer to open up. I had trouble finding Control Panel, noticed there's an ambient light sensor setting in power options.
Winamp and WPC-Home Theater installed, but both reported needing latest version of DirectX.
Iguidance installed correctly.
Flash and RR are next!
I'll update with more specifics/results later on.TruckPC - gutted, being used for test setup
BoatPC - All in 1 in cuddy, N7 using VNC on dash, RR
BlazerPC - Nexus 7 with Timur's USBROM
looks nice, but whats this gonna cost for upgrade... 100+ right. Not sure if its gonna look THAT nice.
To really take full advantage you have to:
1. Like fishies
2. search with bing... nah
3. be willing to give up google maps/earth and use microsofts attempts... nah
4. buy an x box... meh
5. buy a windows phone... nah
6. buy music through microsoft... nah
7. shop for apps though microsoft... i'm sorry but in the app market you have android/apple and microsoft/blackberry lol, stick to what you know microsoft
All in all its apparent their new OS is centered on you taking your focus from google/apple and giving ol billy gates some love like he's never had before. Its only a matter of time before you see their new "social networking" app pop up.
If this came on a new machine i bought, i'd probably keep it on, but i'll not be buying an upgrade.
I agree with you bossman137, but people like shiny new things. Also, on here, people are looking for boot improvements primarily as well as new features that might improve the car pc expirience.
I still run XP in my car for a bunch of reasons but the reality is Microsoft is still the #1 os. History has shown that every other release by Microsoft is good:
2000 - good
ME - bad
XP - good
vista - bad
windows 7 - good
windows 8 - (my initial response... bad)
Either way, people will get it when they buy a new machine and deal or downgrade. In the business world... people will likely skip it as usual. We are just moving to windows 7 from XP here. I will be very interested to see what Win8 looks like hooked to a domain. The dev preview added junk and removed good from a business standpoint IMO.
I wouldn't buy it either but I might pull it off my msdn subscription
I am not a MS or Apple fanboy, I have never really been excited for a new OS launch other than W95 however I will be buying the W8 upgrade when available and here is why.
I don't use any social networking, Itunes, iphones, gaming machines and apps at this point really don't matter to me for a car PC. I switched from XP due to the superior manner that W7/W8 handles audio which is the most important feature to me on a car PC. The touchscreen friendly interface might be a bonus too, I don;t know because I disabled metro in the Dev edition of W8.
So last fall, I thought "why buy W7 when I can run W8 for a year no charge then buy the latest OS available at that time?". I love XP, but I want the more current audio management.
More great news. The Griffin Power mate is working again. That was the 1 big loss I had when I installed the DP Edition of W8.
It only does volume & mute but thats all I need it for anyways.
FYI, I installed only the newer drivers (v2.01PC), the program opened and I configured it for Global settings only. Now the Griffin config program won't reopen but it's working so I really don't care.
If a full shutdown is done, the Griffin program must be selected after boot but them seems to work without issue. If the system is just put to sleep (which is the default action in W8), it works immediately upon wakeup.
Windows 8 Consumer Preview was installed on top of my main machine:Left there is a 24" 1920x1200 and on the right a 19" 1024x1280 in portrait mode. Since it was installed on top of a current machine (after a full backup, of course), I have resumed working as normal. Lightroom import pictures, AHCD v�deo editing, I have even flash an android tablete using odin. No issues. I have an ocasional freeze issues, never crash, I atribute that to the poor website coding prevalente everywhere on the internet. IE 10 suffers more than most, I feel, but even Chrome freezes with heavy contente sites/opened windows. 3D Games Works well or better than under Win7, people have been reporting 10fps or more due to the slimmer kernel, so it's all good. My Steam account Works as usual, remote desktop and Windows home server backup, no issues. I had to spend 15 min setting up Brother Laser Printer, but a wireless-N, newer Printer went without issues. At this point I'm just afraid of my Creative Labs Soundcard X-Fi Platinum will crap on me, and I wouldn't be surprised if uninstalling it I won't see an overall better experience. Will see what happens.Worklogs: 08 Sequoia Platinum Carputer (In Progress!)

BTW the point of the Picture is more to report'/illustrate the point that the Metro style interface won't interfere in anyway with your current working programme. Everytime I launch a non-Metro app, the Metro interface on the left screen disappears and I can work as I Always did. All my pinned apps remained at the bottom (Lightroom, Notes, Browsers, skype, etc.). I can add/pin apps to the metro interface anytime. If you're a power use and dominates the keyboard, this is for you. Everything just works. If you like to click, though, just populate your desktop with your icons, and you're set. The Metro interface is great for me as a big widget to check weather, facebook, twitter and I love the remote desktop app, which I use to control my torrentes in another machine and update my HTPCs. I'm getting used to it more and more. And it looks very cool too. :-)Worklogs: 08 Sequoia Platinum Carputer (In Progress!)

classic glass table lamp
Either dark gray or antiqued gold, this thing is an incredible price and i absolutely love how shimmery it is. The shade is also really perfect scale for the lamps... perfect for the living room, a sofa table, I even think they would work great in a bedroom as long as you have large side tables.
Ooh...this is pretty,too! I love the color and the glass.Tags: home, lighting, lamps, glass, home decor, gray, table lamps, charcoals, designAdded 8 Years Ago from West Elm

USMS held me without a trial that is recognized in law. I was told in court that I wasn't allowed an evidentiary hearing. The witnesses against me weren't sworn. I wasn't allowed to cross examine them. The judge, Edward Nottingham, vowed that he wouldn't listen. It was a kangaroo court. see file 9.

[NASL: Week 4] A pair of clubs riding two-game winning streaks face off Saturday as Atlanta Silverbacks travel to meet second-place Fort Lauderdale Strikers at Lockhart Stadium. Atlanta, in particular, needs a win if it wants to remain in striking distance of unbeaten and untied Minnesota United FC.
Fort Lauderdale goes into the game with
the edge, having won three of its first four games in the 2014 spring season. It won the last two meetings in the 2013 fall season against the Silverbacks, outscoring them, 7-2.
like the way [the Strikers] play," says Atlanta technical director Eric Wynalda, "and they have an entertaining squad. I think we have to be at our best if we're going to have any
sort of success against them. The elements might be a factor for other teams when they go down there, but that won't be a factor for us because we live in Atlanta. We're highly anticipating this trip,
and this will be a pivotal game for both sides."

With two of the world's top-10 economies, one-fifth of the global oil supply, and a surging middle class, Latin America plays more of a vital role in business than perhaps anytime in history.
To help fellow MBA students explore the region's unique opportunities, Vanderbilt University's Latin Business Association has established the first U.S.-based Latin Business Case Competition. This inaugural event will be held March 27-28 at Vanderbilt's Owen Graduate School of Management in Nashville, Tenn.
The Latin Business Challenge is open to MBA teams from top business schools and is being sponsored by Deloitte, AT&T, and Vanderbilt University's Center for Latin American Studies.
The competition will explore the motivations and challenges of international business expansion within Latin America. One week before the event, each team will receive a business case discussing real-world issues encountered by a contemporary firm operating in the region.
"The students that have brought this case competition together — all of them from Latin American backgrounds — are excited to foster a greater awareness and better cultural and economic understanding about this region among their business school peers," said Miguel Palacios, Assistant Professor of Finance at Vanderbilt and the group's faculty advisor.
"We thought the timing was right to launch a U.S.-based MBA case competition focusing on Latin America," said Luciana Ortega (MBA '14), president of the Vanderbilt Latin Business Association. "Our classmates, professors, and recruiting companies are all recognizing the increasingly important role these economies are playing in global business."
Event Details:
- Registration: Applications for the case competition will close on Monday, February 24. Teams can register at http://blogs.owen.vanderbilt.edu/lbc/register/
- Team composition: 5-students teams enrolled in a full-time MBA program
- Prizes: $5,000 for 1st place and $2,000 for second place

Log recording is an incredibly handy mode to consider when shooting video. It uses a different color space than standard recording modes, making the image appear flat and washed out—but giving you tremendous flexibility in post-production. When recording in log mode, you retain detailed information in the highlights and shadows of your footage, allowing increased dynamic range in the image itself.
In this episode, Robbie and I explore log recording workflows on a multi-camera set, then transition to post-production and process the resulting footage with Adobe Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade to show you the benefits of log recording firsthand.

In this week's Deke's Technique, Deke McClelland shows you how to change the color of a car in Photoshop. I know what you're thinking (if you're a seasoned Photoshop user and/or classic car online sales guru), Targeted adjustment tool plus Hue/Saturation, and I can change anything that's not the same color as anything else. But how often does that work? According to Deke, it often leaves something to be desired. So in this week's technique, Deke gives you a nuanced approach for changing that car from everyday, empty-calorie candy-apple red to a rich, worth-its-weight-in-gold sheen. The key is making a quick, but essential, mask.
And the key to the mask in this case is the impeccably named but often overlooked Color Range command. If Photoshop can 'see' what's red, then you can use Photoshop's vision to create a mask that then lets you apply your hue adjustment in a more controlled way. Then you can colorize the isolated red on the car and change it to a purer gold. In the end, your custom set of wheels goes through this transformation:
It's Deke, giving you the keys to a customized set of wheels, free to all in this week's complimentary technique. And for members of the lynda.com Online Training Library®, the members-exclusive video this week will show you how to make that car a deep, mysterious black, while retaining all the shine and sass. Check this out:
Every week, a free technique from Deke!

This week's free technique gives you one of Deke McClelland's many Photoshop tips for using an image to select itself, specifically isolating the highlights and shadows of a photograph to select the light and dark areas using the underrated Color Range command. By using the image's own details to create the mask, you don't have to rely on the unreliable Quick Selection or Magic Wand Tool. And you can fine-tune your mask to add areas to it. Another hidden benefit of using Color Range is that you can either generate a selection (working blind, as Deke likes to call it) or you can directly create a layer mask, and thus see what you're doing as you do it.
For lynda.com members, Deke has an exclusive movie in the Online Training Library® that shows you how to use this same basic technique to actually mask glass (yes glass), against a sunset. If you'd like to see more from Deke about masking in Photoshop, check out Chapter 26, Masking Essentials, of hisPhotoshop CS5 One-on-One Mastery course.
Stop back by again next week for another free technique from Deke!
By Crystal McCullough | Monday, November 9, 2009
p>If you use the Magic Wand tool, stop what you're doing and switch to Color Range. This outrageously useful command lets you select an image as easily as the wand, but with more flexibility and much better results.

Yep, that's what my dealer quoted me for replacing the lid on the console (2006 XLR). It opens fine but will not close without pulling it up manually - I assume part of the hinge is broken. I can't be the first one this has happened to, so assuming I can get the part for something reasonable, does anyone out there know how to remove the console to get at and replace it?
Thanks! :annoyed:

MULTIguard (Anticorrision Paper)
VCI-anticorrosion paper MULTIguard constantly provides small amount of active anticorrosion ingredients (the VCI principle: Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor.) In packages made with this paper, a protecting atmosphere is built up, which reliably prevents corrosion of metal parts. MULTIguard papers work both in contact and from a distance.
Scope of protection
Steel, cast iron (only on contact), zinc, copper, chrome, bronze, brass, pure aluminium, pure tin. Care to be taken with cadmium, lead, soldering tin, magnesium, wolfram and molybdenum.
For demanding application, e. g. protection of cast iron, we recommend our BRANOrost anticorrosion paper. Duration of protection: 12 months for cast, and 18 months for steel, iron and non-ferrous metals.
Metal parts which should be protected from corrosion during production, shipping and storage can be packaged in MULTIguard papers (e. g. simply wrap the metal parts with MULTIguard papers, line the container, interleavings). The distance between MULTIguard papers and metal depends on the package volume and the time permitted for a protecting atmosphere to build up. A rule of thumb: for steel, a full protection is achieved at a distance of 30 cm after 15 minutes, for copper and alloy, at 12 cm and after 24 hours. Cast iron is only protected on contact. The airtighter the package, the longer the protection will last.
It is not necessary to oil or to grease. Metal parts are ready for use any time without cleaning, because this system provides corrosion protection and simple, environmentally-friendly handling in one. The metal is clean and dry to package.
MULTIguard-VCI-products are to be used as described above (packaging/protection of certain kinds of metal pieces). Other-wise, no responsibility for caused damages can be taken.

Below are items I have found that make some of our folks extra famous.
Photo from the Library of Congress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Gentle (June 30, 1885,Chatsworth, Illinois - February 28, 1958, Oakland, California) was an American operatic mezzo-soprano. She began her career in 1908 as a member of the opera chorus in Oscar Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera Company (MOC). Impressed with Gentle's talents, Hammerstein began casting her in secondary roles in MOC productions in 1909, beginning with the role of Mercédès in Georges Bizet's Carmen. She sang roles with the MOC and with Hammerstein's Philadelpha Opera Company through 1910; including Emilia in Otello, the First maid in Elektra, Flora in La traviata, Lola in Cavalleria- rusticana, Maddalena in Rigoletto, Nicklausse in The Tales of Hoffmann, and Siébel in Faust among others.
In 1916 Gentle portrayed the role of Federico in Ambroise Thomas's Mignon at La Scala in Milan. She sang one season at the Metropolitan Opera, making her debut with the company in 1918 as Preziosilla in La forza del destino. Later that year she created the role of Frugola in the world premiere of Puccini's II Tabarro. Her only other role at the Met was Fatima in Oberon in 1919. In 1923 she toured the United States as Carmen with the San Carlo Opera Company. She appeared in three films during the early 1930s: The Song of the Flame (1930), Golden Dawn (1930), and Flying Down to Rio (1933). In 1940 she made her final stage appearance at the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera as Mrs. Cripps in H.M.S. Pinafore.
From the Chatsworth Plaindealer
Last Sundays's Chicago Tribune produced a portrait of Alice Gentle, of the Manhattan Opera Company, which is of interest to Chatsworth people. Mrs. Gentle having been born in Chatsworth. Her maiden name was Alice True, and she is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John True, former residents of Chatsworth, now making heir home in Seattle, Wash. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Gentle visited Chatsworth, spending the summer with her mother at the Jas. A. Smith home in this city. In speaking of Mrs. Gentle the Tribune comments upon her contralto voice and says:
"She is distinctly a "find" of Oscar Hammerstein's. Her first opportunity to sing leading roles was during the series of educational operas which were presented during the last summer. Her success was most gratifying and led to her engagement for smaller roles during the grand opera season. She has sung Flora in "Traviata," with Tatrizzini, and Madeline in "Rigoletto" and the priestess in "Aida".

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harold A. Zahl (1905–1983) Should read (1904-1973) was an American physicist who had a 35-year career with the U.S. Army Signal Corps Laboratories, making major contributions to radar development.
Harold Zahl was born in Chatsworth, Illinois the son of a Methodist minister. While still in high school, he became an amateur radio operator (call letters 6BHI). He graduated in physics and mathematics from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, in 1927, and then attended the University of Iowa where he earned the M.A. degree in 1929 and the Ph.D. degree in 1931, both in solid-state physics.
Upon completing his doctorate, Zahl joined the staff of the Signal Corps Laboratories (SCL) at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. At the same time, he was commissioned a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Zahl's initial work at the SCL was in research on detecting aircraft using thermal radiation from their engines. In 1934, he filed a patent application on "The Art of Locating Objects by Heat Radiation." Initially held up because of its classified nature, this was eventually granted in 1946. In 1936, the SCL started research in Radio Position Finding (RPF – later called radar). Zahl participated in the development of the Army's first fielded RPF system, the SCR-268.
While the SCR-268 was being completed, development of an improved RPF system started and Zahl, now a Major, was assigned to lead the effort. To use a common antenna for both transmitting and receiving, Zahl invented a gas-discharge device, called a duplexer. Two configurations of the RPF emerged: the SCR-270 (mobile) and the SCR-271 (fixed-site). These systems started to be fielded in 1940, and were used throughout the war.
The early systems had large antennas. To reduce their size, a transmitter tube that could produce high-power signals at a much higher frequency was needed (antenna size is inversely proportional to frequency). Zahl developed such a tube in 1939. Called the VT-158, it was capable of 240-kW pulsed power at up to 600 MHz. After the start of World War II, this tube formed the base of the AN/TPS-3, a light-weight, portable. early-warning radar, and a companion the AN/TQS-3, a mortar-detection radar. A total of about 900 of these sets were built and used extensively by the Army, particularly in the Pacific Theater. (The name 'radar' took the place of 'RPF' in 1940.)
The SCL reorganized in 1942, and the radar activities became the Camp Evans Signal Laboratory. For the next several years, Zahl worked closely with the Radiation Laboratory at MIT in their development of microwave radars. He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel. At the close of the war, he resigned his commission and became a civilian employee at Camp Evans.
In 1948, Zahl was named Director of Research, and remained in this position until retiring in 1966. During these years, he made many personal contributions to advancing electronic technologies.
See his picture here.
Harold Zahl '27, Ph.D.
1964 award recipient
Harold Zahl was a distinguished American physicist who was recognized as an inventor of scientific devices and processes. He was a top administrator in the Armed Forces research and development program, as well as an author of scientific articles and reviews. A pioneer in the field of radar in the 1930s, Zahl invented the infrared detector which led to the assignment of responsibility for detection of ground, sea and air targets to the Signal Corps. His invention of the pneumatic cell led to the development of the first Army radar and the acceptance of radar as a major means of military surveillance and an invaluable aid to navigation.
His picture appeared in Life magazine in 1959.
See his headstone here.
From: Nasa History
Harold Adelbert Zahl (1904-1973) earned his B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from North Central College in Naperville, Ill. He was a physicist for the United States Army from 1931-66, where he was the Director of Research of the Electronics Lab, director of the Atmospheric Sciences Lab, and worked for the U.S. Electronics Command. His decorations include the Department of the Army Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service, Scientific Achievement Award from the Service Clubs of Long Island, Federal Business Association of New York Outstanding Vicilian Award, and the Distinguished Alumnus award of North Central College. In addition to authoring Electrons Away… or Tales of a Government Scientist (1968), he has researched and published works regarding verification of wave particle dualism of atoms and propagation of sound through the ocean, radar, and electron tubes. He developed the infrared detecting cell, tubes used in radar tube (ie: the Zahl tube) and radar switching tubes. (Who's Who in Science from Antiquity to Present; Marquis Who's Who Inc. Debus, Allen G. 1968).

I think that porcelain veneers are one of the finest aesthetic treatments that have been developed by our profession. Because of the lamination effect of bonding the ceramic material to the tooth structure, enough strength is developed to allow for function and durability. A ceramic material on its own is brittle by nature. However, when laminated to an underlying strong structure, it is markedly strengthened. That is why porcelain fused to metal works for crowns and bridges. The brittle porcelain is laminated to the metal understructure that provides it strength. This might be compared to a ceramic floor tile. A strong man may be able to break a piece of tile with his hands, but once it is laminated to the floor, it rarely breaks because it is supported all along its undersurface. Supported, a ceramic material can be very strong. The fact that we can now bond these materials to natural tooth structure allows us to eliminate the metal. The tooth becomes the underlying support structure, and the lamination results in a strong restoration.
I have watched a steady increase in the use of bonded porcelain in the last 20 years. There are 3 schools of thought on preparation design that I have seen develop in that time.
No Preparation
In this philosophy, the porcelain is not considered the restorative material, but rather is an aesthetic, durable, and stain-resistant surface covering for the underlying restorative material, which is composite resin. An impression is taken of the unprepared teeth, and a stone model is produced. On this model, thin porcelain shells are fabricated. When they are bonded to place, deficient areas in the tooth such as those caused by removing tooth decay are filled in with the composite. The porcelain veneer acts as a matrix for the composite resin. If no deficient areas of the tooth are present, it simply becomes a new surface for the underlying tooth. With this technique, some increase in thickness of the tooth must be acceptable to the dentist and patient. Color must sometimes be developed with tints and opaquers applied to the inner surface of the veneers during the bonding process.
Minimal Preparation
The second philosophy involves minimal tooth preparation to allow for a thin layer of porcelain; no increase in the facial-lingual dimension of the tooth is created. In this technique, the ceramic is considered the restorative material, and the composite resin is used only to bond the porcelain to the tooth. The veneers are built either on a refractory cast, where the cast goes into the oven with the porcelain and is cut away after the porcelain is baked, or on a swedged foil, which is teased off the model with the porcelain intact and placed in the oven. After the porcelain is baked, the foil is peeled from the inner surface. The ceramic material can be built up in increments—allowing for addition of an opaque layer if needed to cover dark color—and followed by more translucent layers for aesthetics. A gingivo-incisal blend of color can be developed as well as actual incisal translucency.
All of the color can be built into the restoration itself, and an untinted or slightly tinted luting composite is all that is needed for most restorations. The ceramic material requires only 0.3 to 0.5 mm of thickness, so only a small amount of tooth removal is necessary if the facial position of the tooth is where the restored tooth is desired to be. If the tooth is lingually inclined, no facial reduction may be needed. If the tooth is facially inclined, it must be reduced back to the arch form desired before depth cuts are placed for reduction. If the laminate includes the incisal edge, only 1 mm of reduction is required there. A gentle chamfer margin is all that is needed.
Moderate Preparation
The third philosophy involves the use of pressed ceramic rather than stacked porcelain. Pressed ceramics generally require more tooth reduction because of the need for more thickness. Most manufacturers recommend a minimum of 0.6 mm of thickness, but most ceramists I know want 1 mm for these products. The fabrication process involves waxing up the restorations to full contour, spruing, investing, and burning out just as in the fabrication of metallic restorations. A molten glass is forced into the mold under pressure, allowing for excellent fit and an increase in compressive and flexural strength because of increased density from the pressing process. However, the restorations are monochromatic because they are made in one piece. To add a gingival/incisal blend of color and incisal translucency, they must be surface stained or cut back so porcelain can be baked to the surface. I have found that the cut-back procedure results in more lifelike aesthetics; therefore, space is needed for this process. Incisal thickness of 1.5 mm is recommended, and a rounded shoulder margin is needed.
Which technique do I think is best? I use them all at times, with the general rule of saving as much natural tooth structure as I can while providing the desired aesthetics and functional requirements. If I have the room for a pressed ceramic after necessary tooth reduction, I will probably choose it for its fit and strength. However, I do not reduce for pressed ceramics when the condition of the tooth allows me to keep more natural tooth structure. In these cases, I use stacked porcelain for its conservative preparation requirements, its ability to block out underlying dark color with an opacious layer, and its vital appearance. At times, only a translucent layer of porcelain is needed to "resurface" a tooth. In these cases, I may not prepare the tooth at all except to define a margin and develop a draw path. Such is the case in the following example, in which I had the laboratory produce what I call "contact lens" veneers (first described by Dr. Mark Friedman).
|Figure 1. Old direct composite resin veneers on maxillary central incisors.
|Figure 2. Incisal view of old composite veneers.
This young lady presented with direct composite veneers that had been in place for more than 10 years. The patient reported that the composite veneers had been placed to close spaces between her central incisors and between her lateral and central incisors (Figure 1). In Figure 2, the incisal view of the direct veneers can be seen. The patient wished to replace the discolored veneers with new ones.
After discussing her options, which included new direct composite veneers, laboratory-processed composite veneers, or porcelain veneers, she opted for porcelain laminates. One of the factors that influenced her decision was that porcelain provides a durable, stain-resistant surface that is color-stable. I recommended that she consider having me place laminates on her maxillary central and lateral incisors rather than only the central incisors, as the previous dentist had done. This was to provide her with better proportions and to eliminate the triangular appearance of her central incisors.
|Figure 3. Previous composite removed.
One advantage of composite resin is its ease of removal. I used an 8-fluted carbide-finishing bur and was able to eliminate the composite without damaging the underlying tooth structure. After removal of the composite, it was obvious to me that the natural teeth had been barely prepared, if at all (Figure 3). The natural tooth color blended well with the surrounding teeth. It appeared me that adding a new surface covering that mimicked the patient's enamel would be all that was needed to enhance the appearance of the teeth and close the spaces. Minimal preparation would allow the room needed for bonded stacked porcelain veneers.
|Figure 4. Central and lateral incisors prepared for "contact lens" veneers.
|Figure 5. Incisal view of prepared teeth.
No depth cuts were used, but rather the facial surface was only slightly shaped with a diamond bur while creating a gentle chamfer margin at the height of the tissue (Figure 4). The preparation was carried into the interproximal areas at the mesial and distal of the central incisors and the mesial of the lateral incisors. The prepared teeth can be seen from the incisal view in Figure 5. The corners of the prepared teeth were slightly rounded.
Impressions of the prepared teeth and the opposing arch were taken using a polyvinyl siloxane impression material, and an occlusal registration was made. Provisional veneers were fabricated using a bis-acrylic temporary crown and bridge material. They were cemented to place with an unfilled resin material after spot-etching the prepared teeth.
I called one of the master ceramists (William Kim) at the Americus Dental Laboratory Group in Queens, NY, and asked him to fabricate 4 porcelain veneers using only the enamel shade of a Vita B-1 stacked porcelain. I informed him that my preparations involved no more than 0.3 mm of tooth reduction and that the laminates would be very thin.
|Figure 6. "Contact lens" veneers on the working model.
|Figure 7. Incisal view of veneers on working model.
|Figure 8. "Contact lens" veneers off the model.
|Figure 9. Veneers tried on one central and one lateral incisor.
The final veneers can be seen on the working model from the facial view in Figure 6 and the incisal view in Figure 7. Figure 8 shows the veneers off the model. Note the extreme translucency and the beautiful surface characterization. In Figure 9, you can see 2 of the veneers tried in using a drop of water as a try-in medium. Based on the try-in, an untinted luting agent was chosen (Calebra, DENTSPLY Caulk). The veneers were thoroughly dried, and a silane coupling agent was applied to the internal etched sufaces of the restorations.
|Figure 10. Acid etching of prepared teeth.
|Figure 11. Bonding resin applied.
The adjacent unprepared teeth were protected with dead soft matrix strips, and the prepared teeth were etched for 15 seconds with 37% phosphoric acid (Figure 10). The etchant was thoroughly rinsed and left slightly moist. A wetting and desensitizing agent (Hurriseal, Beautlich Pharmaceuticals) was applied, and the excess was removed with a high-speed evacuation tip. A dual-curing one-step bonding agent (Prime&Bond NT, DENTSPLY Caulk) was liberally applied to the slightly moist surfaces (Figure 11), and lightly air-dried to remove the remaining water and solvent carrier. A glossy surface remained on the surface of the tooth.
|Figure 12. Veneers bonded with dual-cure luting composite.
|Figure 13. Light-cure of luting composite.
A dual-curing luting composite (Calebra, DENTSPLY Caulk) was mixed and applied to the inner surfaces of the veneers. The veneers were placed on the prepared teeth and held in place (Figure 12) until the "gel" state was reached (about 3 minutes after the start of the mix). The excess gelled luting composite was gently teased from the margins using a thin scaler. A visible light-curing unit was used to finish the polymerization of the material by exposing each veneer for 40 seconds (Figure 13). The margins were lightly finished with an 8-fluted carbide finishing bur and polished with an Enhance cup (DENTSPLY Caulk). No occlusal adjustment was needed.
|Figure 14. Finished veneers bonded to place.
|Figure 15. Incisal view of veneers at seating.
|Figure 16. The patient's smile before direct composite veneers removed.
|Figure 17. The patient's new smile.
The final restorations can be seen bonded to place in Figure 14. Figure 15 shows the incisal view directly after bonding. The patient's smile before treatment is illustrated in Figure 16, and her new smile with the "contact lens" veneers bonded to place can be seen in Figure 17.
There are clinical situations like the one illustrated here that do not require aggressive tooth reduction to achieve the room for a bonded porcelain laminate veneer. A "contact lens" veneer can be one solution when a new translucent surface is needed to improve the aesthetics of a sound natural tooth.

In the program speculation based entirely on imagination is put forward concerning the black and white designs which provide zebras with wonderful camouflage. In the section in which zebras facing one another groom each other"s necks with their teeth is the following statement:
"Maybe the stripes began to constitute scratching points around the neck and throat. And in later evolutions these stripes spread over the whole body as an indicator of friendship."
As in all other living things, in zebras skin designs are coded in the DNA. Information concerning the designs of zebras is thus passed on from generation to generation. It is obvious that this information cannot be changed by being bitten or groomed by another zebra. Animal Planet observes a parallel between the linear direction of the zebras" grooming movements and the lie of their stripes. In that case, speculation could also be made that the designs of the jaguar came about through its licking itself with circular tongue movements. Definitely, however, that would be unscientific as is Animal Planet in its claims about the zebra because external grooming motions cannot produce genetic information. In fact, if this is considered a little the needlessness of such forced speculations comes to light because there is a pattern designed in such a way as to be beneficial to the zebra which is coded in its genetic information. When all this is considered it emerges that these designs were given to the zebra by a Creator. God created the zebra and he equipped it with these designs as an effective way of diverting the attention of predators which would attack it.

Thinking about buying X3 E83. Help please.
I am thinking about buying either an X3 or X5. I already own a 3 Series E46. I would really appreciate any advice you all can give me.
Are there any common problems the X3s seem to have (window regulators, water pump, etc.??
Are there any specific problems the X series might have that other BMW models do not?
What is typically considered low/avg./high mileage for an X3?
How does the X3 differ from the X5?
Anything else you can provide would be appreciated!!!
x3's are very solid and trouble free SAV's. Historically, much more reliable than earlier X5's. (Maybe because X3 are built in a very quality-oriented plant in Austria.)
But they are similar in many ways, x5 is a little bigger and thirsty due to its heavier weight, also X3 handles better. If size doesn't matter to you, I'll go with an X3 hands down.
At 100k miles, these cars just started breaking in. Expect over 200k+ with the required maintenance.
The X3 showed up here in '04, the X5 started building here in '99. The early couple of X5 years were forgettable -- engine fan fires, etc. The later builds have been as good as any other car -- so if you look at anyting past '04 you should be OK. The Mercedes ML series also suffered from the early builds here too, so BMW was not alone in teething problems.:tsk: Full disclosure: I have never driven an '04 X3, but I have driven most years since then. The '04 was noted (and widely panned by the buff books) for the very stiff uncomfortable ride. I can attest to that problem, as it has carried over to my '06 as well! On rough roads they are horrible rides. The X5 not so bad. It is important to note that the early series X5 was not all that much bigger than the X3. In fact I bought my X3 because it had more room in it than the comparable X5 of that year. I believe this is because the X5 had a far more luxo interior than the rather spartan X3, so there was more room -- or at least "percieved" room in the back. Neither one really is a great cargo carrier (like a Tahoe, or Suburban) but they are nice little utility vehicles. The X3 returns decent mileage (I avg 22 on the road and 17 in town) but can cost an arm and a leg to fix. The mechanicals seem fairly reliable up to 100K but the suspension parts, electronics and emissions stuff seem to have problems after the warranty runs out. On the early years watch for broken spring pigtails and sunroof issues. Good luck!:angel:
Don't know if there is a consensus, but I'd say if you get a good one it could be the best ~$10K you ever spent on a vehicle.
In terms of driving enjoyment and usefulness that is.
How do you get a good one? In descending order:
1. From a private seller
If you can judge them to be knowledgeable and conscientious in its upkeep.
2. From a BMW dealership
If it's one of the reputable ones that hold onto their better trade-ins and do any required reconditioning properly.
3. From a non-BMW dealership
Only if you can verify it was a trade-in and not an auction buy, and you have your PPI done by someone who really knows their stuff.
4. From a Used Car business with a fancy name
I would avoid this altogether. Too may new people come on this forum with tales of woe.
They pay nearly as much as from a franchised dealership, for a unit that others in the trade have given a miss to.
Whatever your choice is, take it to a BMW independent shop for a PPI. A lot of issues on cars are individual to each car and in some cases due to poor maintenance, so before you buy anything, take it for a good check.
Just got an 06' X3 3.0i and love it :bigpimp:
1. Bluetooth from factory either not available or not working properly until 2005 models
2. Color-matched carpeting (2004's had only grey carpeting)
3. Interior plastic colors on 2004's not well integrated (too much grey, not enough black?)
4. Suspension slightly softer for 2005
5. One piece front fenders replaced the two piece ones of 2004 (hardly noticeable)
6. Door open warning was missing on 2004 models
7. Very early 2004's did not have a rechargeable flashlight installed
If you want to avoid potential problems with a panoramic roof, slightly more likely to find a 2004 without that option than a 2005, especially with a 2.5i rather than a 3.0i.
Is there a specific American type SUV that would give me a good idea of the size of the X3 (inside and out)?
This probably sounds like a dumb question but I live in a small area with no BMW dealers or way of even test driving one within an hour drive radius. So until I actually start looking at a couple specific X3s, I don't have much else to go off of.
Not sure about American cars, but I think a new Toyota rav 4 or a subaru forrester may be similar in size to the x3. Also an acura rdx small suv is similar in ride and size.
So overall, it appears that the X3 is a more reliable vehicle than the X5. What do you all think? Am I right? Would you opt for one over the other?
If size is not really a big deal to you, go for the X3...saves you some $$$. Also, I would reiterate strongly to have the vehicle thoroughly checked out somewhere, ESPECIALLY if it has the panoramic sunroof. Check the shocks for leaks. Valve cover gasket for leaks. Intake boot cracked...although this throws a code, so you'd know. You can't really check the door vapor barriers, but that's another typical problem. Washer fluid reservoir leak. Oh, did I mention the sunroof? :) These are the things that we've had to deal with on our 04 X3 2.5 with about 92k miles. Other stuff such as brakes/pads, oil changes, spark plugs, tires are all normal, but I will say that parts for this vehicle are pretty expensive. Luckily I can do most of those things myself.
Good luck.
issues I have had with my 84k 2004 2.5i
valve cover gasket, crank vent system, intake boot, belt tensioner and front torsion arm bushings. cooling systems seem to be more robust than the E46's, my pano sunroof has been totally trouble free so far (although I need to clean my drains soon). I have a ripped passenger side rear vapor barrier I need to replace next, not a huge deal to do that though. Overall the X3 has been reliable and comfortable, I do not think my 04 rides any stiffer than a sporty car. Try riding in a lifted Nissan Titan if you want a stiff ride!!!!!
160,000 miles now on my 2005 X3.
A few issues, but mostly electrically related. Only one major mechanical issue fixed at an Indy shop for $500.
I can totally foresee this making it to up over 200,000 miles as long as I take care of it.
Hall, one thing to consider if you do not live near a BMW dealer -- or have a close indy shop that specializes in the brand -- is the difficulty of getting anything fixed when it breaks and it will. As far as a domestic car that approximates the X3 for size I guess the Chev/GMC Terrain is close, the older Ford Escapes, Jeep Liberty, Dodge Nitro, are about it. The aforementioned Subie Forester, RAV4, and CR-V are also in the "cute ute" group that comes close. These X3's can be great cars or they can be money pits. Of course the same could be said for any car really.
Best thing about the X3's is that they are relatively DIY friendly, so that can save you a lot of coin if you have tools.
99k on my 09 with nothing but fluid changes and one set of brakes/tires to date. My only surprise was a failed front diff at 63k that BMW good willed. Excellent car and I expect 300k out of it.
For domestic comparison...the jeep grand Cherokee overland edition is about the closet....just keep in mind the two vehicles have significantly different awd systems. However every time I get one at the airport as a rental I feel like I am back home in my e83.
+1, although the JGC Overland is vastly more luxo inside than my '06 X3. It really is closer in interior quality to the X5, not the rather spartan X3. And of course the Jeep will go a lot of places you could not take an X3, or X5 for that matter.:angel:
He was asking for size comparison.
Read the sticky about transmissions at the top of the page. I had an 07 AT X3 and it was a pos. I got an 08 MT and no problems.
I would say it is a safe bet with the 06 if you are looking for tried X3 at a moderate price. I dont need to repeat what has been said by some experienced owners here. Pano roof, springs, etc....
Can anyone tell me what items are missing here?
sorry about the small pic. This one is larger.

tatorandtots's recommendation
Marco Morosini's line of stunning dog abodes, "Dog is a God," transcends every concept I had about where Fluffy hangs out, most of which included a little house with his name nailed on a board above the door. ....Of course there was that stellar, momentous Charlie Brown episode where they actually went INSIDE Snoopy's pad and showed off his full bachelor bling and off the hook home entertainment system. But I digress. Animated beagle casas aside, you just don't usually see such an approach as Marco's in animal dwelling design. It's well worth it to check out the full line of six abodes AND to pay a visit to his homepage at http://www.marcomorosini.com/home.html to catch a glimpse of the spectrum of products this talented guy has designed. These abodes retail by the square centimeter and are numbered and signed.
