335D vs Deer
1 Attachment(s)
Driving last night and Bambi decided life wasn't worth living and jumped in front of me driving 75mph. Dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree with the warning lights and failure messages. Waiting on insurance to inspect and give me an estimate. Just on my observation with my trusty iPhone flashlight, in addition to cosmetic stuff, need a new condenser, radiator, intercooler, fan, headlights, fog light, and either a power steering pump or coolant pump (pulley was shattered, couldn't tell exactly what the silver pump housing on drivers side is. Anyways, if you are wondering why you heard fu$k echo throughout the US at 9pm last night, it was me :mad:
Ps: pic was taken after I pried hood open, will grab some better ones when I reunite on Thurs at the dealer

Sorry to hear that. Hope you are ok. We got deer here as well. . .
Will be interested to hear what the estimate comes in at.
Ouch. Deer are out of control around here in Maryland.
I am actually surprised it did not do more damage at that speed. Any idea how big/heavy a Bambi it was?
Wow. A lot of damage; did any airbags pop? You're lucky it didn't come through the window - seen that happen.
FYI, there are over 300K deer (or other large animals) collisions per year in the US. Probably somewhere north of $1B cost per year. They estimate around $3k/collision just in property damage. It's become a really big problem:
There's a big project on I90 WA State trying to reduce collisions: http://i90wildlifebridges.org/ that's a little more enviro-focused.
The season will start here soon in Michigan as gun season opens on Thur (it is like a national holiday here). I tagged my first one last year in my other car to the tune of almost $7k. Glad my D is parked for the winter.
I feel your pain. WV is crawling with deer also and I tagged one a couple of years back in my Toyota. It is such a pain to deal with the repair and then you have an accident on the history. Good luck and make them fix it properly. I had to move mine from the first garage after a few days due to them trying to go on the cheap with the repairs. Luckily my insurance agent took my side and wound up taking them off his preferred list.
So far I have engaged the antilock brakes a couple of times in the Bimmer but luckily haven't hit another one yet.
No scratches on the Bimmer however. He leaves the claws in when on the car I guess. Actually I usually keep the car in another bay that has a door so he can't get on it. Never figured out why cats love to get on cars. Seems like they know when you just washed it.
Glad to hear your safe OP.
Keep us updated!
Heard from the adjuster and they are at $14k in damages, plus they need to take it apart to see what else is damaged beyond what is visible. Not close to being totaled, being a diesel and M-sport, they say its "rare" and holds its value better (based on his formulas they are valuing at $34k (2011, 45k miles, pretty loaded). Said the estimate would have to double before he could total it. Thought that was interesting. More to come on Monday, when they do the tear down.
Also, no injuries at all, just scared me and resulted in spilling my beer all over my lap. It was a white tailed fawn, probably around a 100lbs before she met the BMW, average size for these parts, but small compared most other areas.
(just kidding about the beer):)
I seem to recall being told the damages have to reach 80% of the value before they will total a car. Not sure if that is right now, can't even remember who told me that but it would line up with what your adjuster told you.
Yeah, he mentioned 75-80% total value. Depending on what they find in the engine, I may try to negotiate a lower reimbursement value to see if they'd total it. Based on the depreciation this accident's going to cause, it might be worth taking a small loss now versus a potentially larger loss later? On the fence with this idea though, just need to wait until Monday to see what else they find.
I am am talks with three different dealers right now to try and trade my car in and dealing with the whole diminished value from being in a minor wreck. If I can't come to an agreement very soon then will break down and try to do a private party sell. Mine was nothing like yours though, I just had to have my rear bumper cover replaced but a Carfax ding is a ding none the less. In hindsight I should have gotten a letter of diminished value(if that is the proper term) after my car was repaired and gone to the insurance company of the person that caused the damage and tried to collect the money that my car devalued by due to that Carfax ding. Not sure how that all works out when approaching your own insurance company.
No joy on diminished value payment from a one car accident that is a "no fault" -- well except for Bambi of course. They will pay for the repair, a rental car (if you have that endorsement) and that is about it. DV? -- Sorry about that. I hope the Fish and Game folks didn't cite you for killing deer out of season.:rofl: Glad no one in the car was hurt -- that is the main thing really.:angel:
hah ... isn't it actually deer season right now?
I know of a 2010 E63 getting traded into a MBZ dealer next month and will be CPO'd and had talks with the finance manager there about it. But we are moving in town and just do not need something that big any more.
I have considered perhaps a used 911 but that puts me over what I want to spend right now so been fighting temptations to test drive any of those. Plus rear seat on these is kind of useless even with small kids, so does not really make sense to go this route.
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1 Edit: Not sure this one is a good deal. I just built a new one on mbusa.com and with light options it was 61k MSRP.
I've got a 2006 Volvo XC90 looking to trade in for perhaps the MB GL350 TDI. We really would like more room than the X5 has. Plus they are continuing to make them, a plus IMO.
The prices on the 2012 X5D are certainly attractive, best deal out there that I can see.
I'm pending to refinance my house, hopefully by end of the month, then we'll get serious.

Mayor Rob Ford – who earlier this year waged a very public and unsuccessful effort to shed some pounds – said his size has long made him the brunt of jokes.
"When you are overweight like I've been all my life you get made fun of and it's not good growing up," Mr. Ford said Monday at an event to publicize Bullying Awareness Week. "There are many different types of bullying, but being called fat, all that stuff, it bothers you, but you have to deal with it."
Last January, the mayor and his brother Doug committed to a public weight-loss campaign. While the mayor ended the challenge with a sprained ankle in June, 17 pounds lighter at 313, he fell short of his 50-pound weight-loss goal.
Launched amid great fanfare, the Ford brothers' "Cut the Waist Challenge" was supposed to be a feel-good publicity campaign reminiscent of reality TV's most popular weight-loss bouts. However, in the end, the mayor struggled with the weekly weigh-ins and postponed some of them, which became fodder for his critics.
Also at Monday's anti-bullying news conference, Mr. Ford, who has never attended Pride Week events, was asked if his participation would have sent a message to people who bully gay and lesbian teens.
"Bullying comes in many forms. If gay people are being bullied, I think that's terrible," Mr. Ford said.
Mr. Ford had this advice to young people who are being bullied: "Report it," he said. "You have to stand up to bullies. And if you keep it inside it could, you know, I think, mentally harm you. Make sure people know and point out the bullies."Report Typo/Error

In the interview with Joe Smith (seriously that is his name), Yoko says the Beatles were already kind of splitting before she even came along and that John, George and Ringo all wanted to split because they felt like they were becoming Paul's band and not The Beatles. Yoko also said that when the band did split that she and Lennon also almost split because he expected her to be the band and be those relationships he no longer had. I guess that is an answer, but I would have loved something more dramatic.

In a world awash with cyber words and multimedia graphics, there are still writers and readers whose hearts and minds belong to zines.
Susy Pow owns a store in Newcastle devoted to zines: independently published magazines. She sells about 250 titles. ''There are no boundaries and anybody can make them,'' she said.
Most zines are photocopied and stapled together but Leigh Rigozzi bought a commercial-grade printer to help his zines stand out. His most recent publication, Blood and Thunder, aims to create a professional-grade zine with illustrators from all over Australia.
''I like zines that people put a lot of themselves into, where you can tell they have spent time crafting a personal object and it has a beautiful print quality,'' he said.
Next Sunday the Museum of Contemporary of Art in the Rocks will hold a zine fair. Spokeswoman Clare Willcox said her hope was to ''encourage people who are not part of the established zine community''.
Ms Pow said: ''I was involved in the punk scene and that subculture spurred me to create zines … Every single person could get something from [zines], either as a maker or as a reader.''

The Lady Vols will play Longwood (41-18) on Friday at 6 p.m. Eastern at Lee Softball Stadium on Friday. North Carolina State (33-18-1) and James Madison (41-15) will open the three-day Knoxville Regional at 3:30 p.m.
Sign up now to join the
Tennessee community.
Free 7-day trial!
The team gathered at the softball clubhouse to watch the selection show, which aired Sunday night, in the film room. When Tennessee's name popped on the wide-screen television as the No. 7 seed, a voice from among the players, presumably a younger one, said, "Does that matter?"
"YES!" Co-head coach Karen Weekly said to thunderous laughter from those in attendance.
Co-head coach Ralph Weekly said he was pleased with Tennessee's seed, and he was grateful to host the regional. Weekly had anticipated who might come to town – he correctly predicted James Madison and N.C. State before the Selection Show began – and he noted he had also just watched a Longwood game and the Lancers have long ball hitters. Longwood, which is in Farmville, Va., defeated Winthrop to win the Big South Conference.
N.C. State is the ACC Tournament champion and James Madison was the runner-up in the Colonial Athletic Association.
"I'm excited for our kids," James Madison coach Mickey Dean said. "You get a couple days to think about it and you wonder if you've done enough to get in. I felt like we had played our way into the field of 64. I felt like we had done enough, but you never know until you see your name called."
This is the second selection to the NCAA tournament for JMU and the first-ever at-large bid for a CAA team. The Dukes received the conference's automatic bid in 2009 and also traveled to Knoxville that year.
Reserved bleacher-back all-session tickets will go on sale at 8:30 a.m. Monday. If any tickets remain, single-session tickets would be available Friday at 2:30 p.m. when the gates open.
Fans can buy tickets three ways: Online at UTTix; in person at the Tennessee Athletics Ticket Office at the street level of Thompson-Boling Arena between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.; or by phone at 865-656-1200.
Season ticket holders have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to call or stop by the ticket office to buy their seat. Any seats not sold by that deadline will be released to the public at 8:30 a.m. Thursday.
The SEC snared seven national seeds. Tennessee got the No. 7 slot, while Florida (52-7) was No. 2; Missouri Tigers (35-11), No. 6; LSU (40-14), No. 9; Alabama (42-13), No. 10; Kentucky (38-18), No. 12; and Texas A&M (39-15), No. 16.
The other four SEC teams to make the field are: Arkansas (34-18), Georgia (38-19), Mississippi State (32-22) and South Carolina (32-23).
Tennessee is on the same side of the bracket as Alabama, so if the seeds hold in the regionals, the Lady Vols and Crimson Tide would square off in a Super Regional in Knoxville.

Guy Boucher is still the coach of the Hamilton Bulldogs.
The 38-year-old McGill grad has been mentioned as a candidate for the vacant head coaching position in Columbus. He would not say whether he has been interviewed for the Blue Jackets' job.
Boucher met the media today at the Canadiens' development camp in Brossard, and Pat Hickey was there to hear the 38-year-old coach talk about his future (Boucher's, not Hickey's).

I am originally from England, as you may have guessed and have been living here in the colonies for the last 8 years or so. (thats me just being smart) we live in Sevier County about 40 miles east of Knoxville.
In the last few years or so, it seems that there are more home invasions, robberies, muggings etc, and worse.
Now i drive a truck for a living and as such i am away from my house for periods of time, and even though we have 2 dogs at the house, i would feel more secure knowing that my wife and daughter had something else to rely on for protection.
Also in a few months time my daughter is off to college, so my wife and i want to be able to sleep peacefully at nite, knowing she will be safe and able to defend herself.
So i'm looking for suggestions on where we can go as a family, for both range use and gun classes.
open to any ideas.
thanks in advance all advice welcome..

Ok with that said how serious is he about running a successful business, if he knows and admits he is understaffed, and wont hire any help thats worth having around.
To run a business espicailly one that you are putting your company name on, and promoting you need to be able to stand by your products and your word. Its not like he is selling a FSWerks header off of his site and people are having problems with them.
|not only is he understaffed.. but hes got alot to take care of on his own... besides his running it, he runs two diferent race teams i believe..
|well i understand being under staffed but it takes 10 minutes, to get one, put it in a box and ship it. I havent had a problem with them until now. I appreciate your willingness to help but I would rather not drag anyone else into the situation just to keep it professional on my end of the deal
|I've talked to Ricardo a few times and he's a heckuva nice guy, but F2's problem is that he is terribly understaffed per his own admission. I'm about 30 mins from his shop so keep up attempting to try and contact him and if need be, send me a PM with the details and I will drive down there and see what's up. -Cliff
Well....yet another problem with F2
Ok Im not posting this thread to bash the company, for a long time I have come to the defense of F2 when others have reported bad customer service. I have never had a problem with them until now, Im currently running their header and intake on my car. Ricardo has always helped me out and been quick with responses to my questions and concerns.
My problem that Im running into is their flex pipe, either it is poor quality or not a good design. It keeps blowing out gaskets from the back of the flex to the first piece of the exhaust. Im not the only person having this problem either......Ive messaged Ricardo on this forum and tried sending emails to his address on the F2 site and have gotten no response as of late.
Ricardo said he was going to send me a new flex pipe to see if I could get the problem corrected. I sent him my address via PM on here about a month and a half ago and he said he would get it out to me and still havent gotten the new piece.
I really dont want to have to buy a FSwerks header at the moment, but if F2 cant stand by their products and their word then I will have no choice but to do so.

Pitt Postgame Notes:
• Game captains for Pitt were #40 Scott McKillop, #50 NG Rashaad Duncan, #30 FB Conredge Collins and #55 C C.J. Davis.
• DB Ricky Gary recovered a dropped lateral in the end zone to give the Panthers a 34-7 fourth quarter lead. The play marked Gary's first TD of his career and Pitt's first defensive TD of the season. It was also Gary's first career fumble recovery. The last time Pitt returned a fumble for a touchdown was on Oct. 25, 2003 against Syracuse when Bernard "Josh" Lay returned the ball 20 yards for the score.
• On Louisville's next drive, LB Scott McKillop returned an interception 18 yards for a touchdown. The play marked his first interception return for touchdown in his career. The last time a Pitt player returned an interception for a TD was Gus Mustakas vs. Toledo on Sept. 30, 2006 (9 yards).
• The last time Pitt totaled two defensive TDs in a game was a 38-13 victory at Virginia on Sept. 2, 2006. In that game, Darrelle Revis returned a 19-yard interception and Clint Session returned a 78-yard interception for the score.
• PK Conor Lee now has 48 career field goals, a Pitt record. Lee also has 249 career points, which ranks fourth all-time on Pitt's career scoring list. Third is Andy Hastings, who scored 255 points from 1914-16 and 1919.
• PK Conor Lee extended his career point after touchdown record to 105. He remains perfect for his career. Lee has also now moved into third place in Big East history with 105 consecutive PATs in his career. He surpassed Shayne Graham of Virginia Tech, who tallied 102 from 1997-99. In second is West Virginia's Pat McAfee with 106 from 2005-07.
• WR Oderick Turner's 26-yard TD reception in the second quarter was his first of the season.
• RB LeSean McCoy's 14-yard pass to Nate Byham in the third quarter is his third career pass and his second completion.
• In only his second season at Pitt, McCoy moved into ninth place on Pitt's all-time career scoring list with 186 points. He is just two points away from Mark Schubert (188 points from 1977-79), who ranks eighth on the list.
• McCoy's 11-yard TD run in the fourth quarter gives him 16 touchdowns this season and 31 for his career (30 rushing). He is three TDs shy of Larry Fitzgerald's total of 34 touchdowns set between his freshman and sophomore seasons.
• Pitt's 8:35 scoring drive in the third quarter, which resulted in a 19-yard field goal, marks Pitt's longest scoring drive of the year. The drive spanned 16 plays and 63 yards. Pitt's previous long was an 8:28 drive at Notre Dame last weekend, which resulted in a 1-yard LeSean McCoy touchdown. That drive was 15 plays for 70 yards.
• WR Aundre Wright's 7-yard touchdown run in the first quarter marked the first of his career.
Louisville Postgame Notes:
• C Eric Wood made his 46th consecutive start at center, while DT Earl Heyman made his 34th straight start. Heyman made his second straight start at defensive end.
• Red-shirt freshman Matt Simms replaced Hunter Cantwell in the second quarter and attempted his first collegiate pass. For the contest, Simms was 4-of-10 for 39 yards and was intercepted once. It was only his second-ever collegiate appearance.
• QB Hunter Cantwell threw a touchdown pass in the third quarter, marking the eighth straight game that he has thrown a touchdown pass.
• WR Trent Guy tied a season high with three receptions for 31 yards.
• The Cardinals held LeSean McCoy, who entered the game averaging 125.5 yards per game, to just 39 yards on 17 carries.
• RB Victor Anderson rushed for 73 yards on 17 carries to give him 913 yards for the season. The 913 yards is the most since Michael Bush ran for 1,143 yards in 2005.
• WR Troy Pascley caught a career-high three passes for 49 yards, including his fourth touchdown reception of the season. He caught two passes for 48 yards last week in a loss to Syracuse.

THQ held discussions with the Queensland Government before deciding on the move but did not receive specific incentives to set up operations in Brisbane.
``Some of the factors we did look at were payroll tax, which is significantly lower than other (states),'' Dauterman says.
``When we're looking at the majority of our development costs being personal, Australia offers really great value. I think we had pretty much made up our mind that Brisbane was the place to be, considering the talent in the area.''
Dauterman says Brisbane is rivalling Melbourne for the title of Australia's games development capital.
THQ has a project in development with Brisbane's Chrome Studios, has just finished another with Brisbane's Evolution Studios and might have a project in Melbourne.

AAFP responds to proposed rule on 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule
On Aug. 22, 2012, the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) responded to the proposed rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. As promised, I am sharing that response with you. Here are some of the highlights; the AAFP:
- Supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) proposal to create a code for post-discharge transitional care management as a short-term payment strategy; however, the AAFP urges CMS to limit the use of the code to the patient's primary care physician,
- Supports CMS's intent to investigate potentially misvalued codes, especially in regard to the number and level of post-operative evaluation and management services assumed to be included in global surgical services,
- Urges CMS to not implement the Institute of Medicine recommendations pertaining to geographic practice cost indices, and instead asks that CMS refocus it's efforts on ensuring a properly distributed healthcare workforce that is meeting the demands of a growing beneficiary population,
- Agrees with the proposal to add coverage of ''additional preventive services'' and supports the proposal to add them to the list of Medicare telehealth services for 2013; however, the AAFP questions several of the proposed payment amounts for these services,
- Supports the CMS proposal to create new criteria for being a successful electronic prescriber for groups of two to 24 eligible professionals,
- Strongly supports CMS's proposal to streamline the implementation of the Physician Quality Reporting System incentive and reporting programs within the context of the Medicare Shared Saving Program,
- Mostly supports the CMS proposal to begin applying the value-based payment modifier only to groups of 25 or more eligible providers in 2015, so the agency can begin learning how to properly fulfill the statutory requirements; however, the AAFP remains concerned with CMS's inability to specify the exact amount of the upward payment adjustment because of budget neutrality considerations,
- Fully supports the agency's proposal to begin Medicare Part B coverage of the Hepatitis B vaccine for high-risk groups, specifically persons with diabetes.
The full text of the AAFP response is available online.
The comment period for the proposed rule ends on Sep. 4, 2012. After that deadline, we will have to wait for the final rule to see what CMS decides to do on all of these issues. CMS is expected to release the final rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule on or around Nov. 1, 2012.

It's official: ICD-10 delayed to Oct. 1, 2014
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made official a one-year delay in the implementation deadline for the ICD-10 diagnosis code set when she announced last Friday a final rule that sets the new compliance date at Oct. 1, 2014. The delay, which was the subject of a proposed rule last April, is part of a final rule that will establish a unique health plan identifier, which HHS promises will "help cut red tape in the health care system." More to come on the HPID, as it's referred to. In the meantime, check out FPM's ongoing series of articles on ICD-10.

Medicare physician fee schedule redux
In a previous blog, I posted about the proposed rule on the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. I subsequently received questions regarding whether or not the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) had any involvement in the creation of the proposed 2013 fee schedule and what impact the fee schedule might have on family physicians. To the best of my knowledge, AAFP was not directly involved in the creation of the proposed 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) essentially reserves sole responsibility for its creation.
AAFP advocates with CMS throughout the year on elements of the physician fee schedule, and the results of that advocacy can be seen in CMS's estimate of the proposed rule's impact on family medicine. Specifically, CMS estimates that family physicians will experience approximately a 7 percent increase in Medicare allowed charges in 2013, based on what is in the proposed rule (see page 12 of the AAFP's summary of the proposed rule). That percentage is higher than any other specialty listed. So, although AAFP can't take responsibility for creating the proposed rule, it can certainly take some credit for the estimated positive impact on family physicians.
AAFP is preparing a response to
the proposed rule in advance of the Sep. 4, 2012, deadline for comments, and I look forward to sharing that with you in a future post. In the meantime, thanks for the questions, and please let me know if you have more.

Coming attractions: Medicare physician fee schedule
One of my favorite things about going to the movies is watching the "trailers" or "previews" that precede the main feature. I enjoy the glimpses of things to come and the anticipation that they foster.
Last week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) offered a preview of the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule in the form of a notice of proposed rule making (NPRM) published in the Federal Register. You can download a copy of the NPRM and view related links on the CMS website. The AAFP has provided a summary of the 341-page document.
As usual, the proposed rule for next year's fee schedule is full of interesting payment policy proposals. From a family medicine perspective, the most interesting one is a proposal to create and pay for a code that community physicians may report when they manage the care of a patient who is transitioning from a facility to an ambulatory, outpatient setting (e.g., from the hospital back to the community). CMS recognizes that a lot of expensive re-admissions could be prevented if transitions of care were better managed, and CMS appears willing to pay community physicians, including family physicians, for doing just that. CMS estimates that this proposal alone will increase Medicare allowed charges to family physicians by 5 percent in 2013.
Of course, not everything related to the Medicare physician fee schedule is good news. CMS separately estimates that, under current law, the physician fee schedule conversion factor will decrease 27 percent on Jan. 1, 2013, unless Congress and the President again intervene in the process.
CMS is accepting comments on its proposed rule until Sep. 4, 2012, so if you want to provide any feedback that may help shape the final product, you will need to submit it between now and then. Options for how to submit comments are included in an early section of the NPRM.
CMS plans to publish the final rule on or about Nov. 1, 2012, with implementation effective Jan. 1, 2013. Think of it as "show time" for the 2013 Medicare physician fee schedule. Here's hoping that the final product is more of an uplifting picture than any sort of comedy or horror show.

Executive Director of The Missoula Children's Theater, Jim Caron, says he auditioned an overwhelming number of wonderful women actors for MCT's upcoming production of The Sound of Music, which opens this Thursday in Missoula. The result is an unusually large and talented cast of more than 80 performers, many of whom contribute to a chorus that, Caron says, creates a spectacular sound. It's a sound many of you may have heard before.
Written in 1959 by the grandfathers of the American Broadway musical, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, The Sound of Music surpasses all others in popular appeal. The story, as you may know, begins in "the lost golden days of the 1930s" high on a green hill above Salzburg, Austria. MCT favorite Alicia Bullock, in a role that showcases the full range of her talent, returns as Maria, a young postulant, singing gaily, inspired by the beauty of nature that surrounds her.
While she longs to take her solemn nun's vows, her carefree ways give pause to the Reverend Mother. Maria is sent away from the abbey, for a time, to serve as governess to the seven motherless children of an older man, Captain Von Trapp, played by MCT's Don Fuhrmann. She prays for courage, for the strength to guide these children who have gone through no fewer than 12 other governesses. And she aims to prepare them for a new mother, whoever that may be.
"It has to do with personal strength and family strength," says Caron, regarding one of the musical's broadest themes. "It is Maria's story of having the strength to make a change from one radically different life path to another."
The musical aspects of The Sound of Music blend seamlessly with its dramatic elements to create a show that is never forced or artificial, as some musicals can be. The insidious Nazi takeover of Austria provides a nuanced backdrop to the unlikely, albeit true, romance that unfolds between Maria and Captain Von Trapp. Plus, catchy tunes like "My Favorite Things" and "Doe a Deer," not to mention the musical's title song, help to create an irresistible spectacle in this, the last and favorite collaboration of Rodgers and Hammerstein. Technical innovations also promise to offer further dimensions to the tale. In the MCT production, the now-famous opening scene of the hills outside Salzburg are depicted solely through the clever use of light and shape, rather than backdrop. The elaborate number of costumes between Maria and the children alone reaches a total of 64.
In the end, of course, Maria emerges resourceful, stubborn and clear in her objectives. She is the vehicle by which Rodgers and Hammerstein convey an easy enjoyment of life, the absolute necessity of song and dance—delightful expression, true, unsuppressed and overflowing—which is in the end, an essential message of the musical genre itself.
MCT presents The Sound of Music Nov. 26-28 and Dec. 2-5, 9-12. Showtime 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Sunday evening performances at 6:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Ticket prices vary. Call 728-PLAY.

The main voice on the Ronettes' 'Be My Baby' has remained largely unflexed for nigh-on 20 years, save for the odd public appearance with her now late friend, Joey Ramone. Rather unforeseebly, then, Spector's comeback album finds that famous Noo Yoik, vibrato-tremblin' voice soaring majestically in service of, well, the right kind of music.
She tackles raunchy rockers such as 'Hey Sailor' and soulfully lovelorn classics by the Ramones and Johnny Thunders with equal dynamism. Even minus a Wall of Sound, she's a gigantic presence.

One feature of the whiteboard is that it resizes
in a different way from ordinary plots. If you control-drag
the edge, the insets do not resize. ImageSize does not
affect the insets, either. The only way I have found to get a uniform
scaling is to use Style[whiteboard, Magnification -> 1/2].
Is there a way to "burn in" the insets to the whiteboard so that
they resize together with the bounding box?

Extremely small micro driver IEM with big sound.
Extremely small micro driver IEM with big sound.
Universal Fit item created by dweaver, Jul 12, 2014
- Average User Rating:
- 4/5,
Recent User Reviews
"Powerfull IEM in an extremely small package"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - Very small and easy to wear. Wonderfull full sound with a good marriage between musicality and technical capability for a low price.
Cons - Cable is a bit short.
After starting to review a few IEM's in the past week I decided to slip these babies back into my ears as a reference point for the other IEM's. After doing so for a few minutes I realized these really needed a proper review as they definitely keep up with a lot of gear that is more expensive.
As can be seen by the picture these are very tiny being the smallest IEM I have owned to date. They come in two types, an iDevice specific model and a single button android model. I have the android model and will have to assume they will sound the same sonically speaking. This IEM is very BASIC in regards to accessories only supplying the perfunctory 3 sets of sleeves with no case. It also has a short cable that is smaller than most IEM's and has an I jack as well as neck cinch.
So what does all this minimalism mean? AMAZING BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!!
This IEM offers an amazing sound quality for $50 or less. I personally find no real weaknesses in the signature which is typical for this price range. Usually you get a signature that is tweaked in specific areas at the cost of other areas or overall clarity. In the case of the X323 you get solid full bass, a clear midrange, and treble that extends well but without being peaky or sibilant. There is a very mild amount of graininess in the treble but I only notice it occasionally. I would say this is a mid-centric IEM but only just and not and the detriment of the bass or treble.
Out of the genres I listen to such as live acoustic music, Celtic music, jazz, classic rock, classical, country this IEM manages to perform them all well, offering a nice balanced sound for all of the genres. I own several AKG full size headphones and definitely hear a family resemblance in the signature. So these are an excellent option for anyone who loves the AKG house sound.
I personally rank these as one of the best $50 or under IEM's I have owned and would say they compete well against many IEM's up to the $100 price point.

Water colled heat sinks and to3 mosfets
A week or so ago I offered 50 to3 case irf244 mosfets
for $100. I have decided to include 2 water colled heatsinks
in the $100 price. Each heatsink is drilled for 17 to3 devices.
I would prefer to ship only in the lower 48.
sounds interesting, do you have any pictures of the heatsinks?

Princeton School District officials are expecting to have good news for taxpayers when they open bond bids for the district's upcoming $29.95 million construction project.
Favorable interest rates could lessen the cost to taxpayers, according to representatives of Ehlers, the school district's financial adviser.
The school district is set to open bids for its $29.95 million in construction bonds on Monday, June 30, and will award the bond bids in a special board meeting later that night.
"Rates are really low on municipal bonds," said Ehlers financial adviser Jodie Zesbaugh at the June 3 meeting of the Princeton Board of Education.
"That lowers the cost of issuance," Zesbaugh said of the bonds.
For tax impact, on a $150,000 home, proposed taxes will potentially decrease from an estimated $136 per year to $116 per year, according to Zesbaugh and Gary Olsen, a senior financial adviser and the firm's vice president.
On a commercial property valued at $500,000, proposed taxes would decrease from $993 annually to $848, the advisers said.
That's because favorable interest rates, based on June 3 figures, would lower the tax capacity rate on the school district portion of taxes 1.57 percent from 10.74 percent to 9.17 percent. The tax capacity is one's share of property taxes based on market value and class rates.
"We anticipate great results," Zesbaugh said.
With bids being awarded on June 30, it won't be long before construction on a new facility to replace South Elementary School can begin, since the estimated closing date on the bond sale is anticipated to be July 24.
"That's the day you'll have the money for the projects," Zesbaugh said.
Improvements to Princeton High School, as well as the installation of safety and security measures and technology improvements throughout the district, will be able to be funded at that time, as well.
The projects were made possible when school district voters approved a $29.95 million referendum on May 20 of this year.
In other board news:
• A jubilant group of cheerleaders were on hand to watch the School Board reinstate the cheerleading squad as an official school sport. The squad had fallen victim to budget cuts in the 2000s and has most recently been offered as an activity through community education. The cost of reinstating the program was estimated at $14,391.
• The board set a new pay scale for people who work at school events as ticket takers, announcers, court and field workers, ushers, trainers and like positions.
• The board heard presentations on special education staffing, a "World's Best Workforce" initiative, and a growth and evaluation process for teachers.
School bonds could cost taxpayers less

Population Served
(1) General: The Student Health and Wellness Center (SHWC) exists primarily to provide primary medical care, limited counseling and health education services for the registered students of Southern Oregon University. Such care is available only during those hours the SHWC is open, and may be limited by clinical scope of practice and available resources. The provision of all services must be free of discrimination with regard to age, handicap, national origin, race, marital status, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
(2) Population served:
(a) Registered students who pay a health fee in advance each term at registration. The fee, which is subject to change from year to year, is adopted by the Oregon State Board of Higher Education;
(b) Provision of services to non-registered SOU students is dependent upon available resources including but not limited to staffing, space, and scheduling so as not to compromise quality and availability of service for registered students. At a minimum, full cost reimbursement for such services will be charged unless prior arrangement for compensation has been determined by the SHWC Director with a sponsoring program. A record of such services shall be maintained;
(c) Non-registered students (auditor status) are not eligible for regular services rendered by the Health Center;
(d) Any non-enrolled student who was enrolled the previous term and will be enrolled the subsequent term is eligible for services provided the health fee is paid for that term.
(3) Emergency Care: Persons in need of emergency care or first-aid, other than those eligible for regular SHWC care as outlined above, who present themselves or are brought to the SHWC or to a SHWC First Aid Station at SOU events, may receive initial medical assessment, emergent or first aid care and triage to community based resources. Such care is available only during those hours the SHWC is normally open, and when the First Aid Station is staffed. Persons receiving care may be charged for the full the cost of services and supplies.
(4) Disaster Care: In the event of a community wide disaster or mass casualty incident, the SHWC may serve as treatment and triage site for injured persons that may not have otherwise been eligible for care, and that are in need of medical care outside the normal scope of services available at the SHWC.

If and openwrite and openappend
Obviously I don't understand something about using If, etc.
I'm trying to write a piece of code to store strings in a file. A very
simplified example follows:
nix[x_String, y_String] :=
t = {x, y}
If[FileType["c:\\Mathematica\\dBaspap"] == None,
stmp = OpenWrite["c:\\Mathematica\\dBaspap"],
stmp = OpenAppend["c:\\Mathematica\\dBaspap"]]
Write[stmp, t]
The function seems to work as I want if the file doesn't exist. If it
exists the code doesn't work.
If I the OpenAppend from the If statement things work fine. But a
subsequent use of nix fails because it refuses to open a stream.
I've read Wolfram fairly carefully I thought but I'm missing something
Thanks for any help.
Cliff Martin

Battle of the Supercars did a drive off with the Gumpert Apollo(the blue monster), side by side with a hand made GT Malan. I'll take an HPF M3 please.
Thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments.
I think we (and really with almost any car) can take it to a level where it will perform as well as a super car, after all what is a supercar? Likely a car with the same aftermarket parts we put on our cars, but from the factory instead. But sadly.. its still not a supercar.. I appreciate and enjoy seeing highly modified cars more so than Supercars.. maybe thats because I live in an area where I've seen Veyron's parked outside the local bakery and the guy who borrows me his trailer for towing my M3 owns a lemans saleen s7.. but really I think its because you'll find more highly modified cars like ours (cars with more than the cars original value in just aftermarket modifications) out there on the track, beating on and enjoying their creations..
Most of the supercar owners I know let them collect dust in their garages, occasionally taking them out for some local meetup or cars and coffee event.. to me.. thats blasphemy.. cars are meant to be driven!

Finnair's New Helsinki Airport Lounge Features Adaptive Designs
Vertti Kivi creates pre-flight space for road warriors, young travelers and tourists based on static structures
Finnair has opened its Premium Lounge at Helsinki Airport that adapts to traveler needs and moods. The work of Vertti Kivi of dSign Vertti Kivi & Co takes Finnish design to a new level with a complete upgrade of exclusive features based on the different types of work and emotions of customers.
The space was inspired by the transformative experience of the global traveler with static desires. Suspended lights that disappear and three-dimensional walls, along with other configurations, change throughout the day and make the space come 'alive' for up to 122 guests.
The flexible space was designed to appease the three categories of Premium Lounge clients: road warriors, young travelers, and tourists.
Kivi tells The Daily Traveler,
Road warriors seek function and ergonomic comfort. Thanks to mobile technology, younger travelers are always multitasking, so it was important to support them in working and relaxing at the same time.
With the overall upgrade, the space now includes a Finnish sauna and private shower suites, in addition to the usual high quality pampering options such as high-quality complimentary meals and beverage. The Lounge offers clients an individual experience with different space for work, dining, silence or spa treatments.
The unique design that plays on lights and moods is meant to evoke an emotional experience for the airline's most loyal and demanding customers. Finnair aims to provide their clients a space that exudes a sense of calm and relaxation, with an ambiance which represents flight.
Using Finnair's color palette of blue and white, clients are meant to feel as if they were sitting amongst the clouds before they take flight.

Hi guys,
I'm a newcomer here. I've uploaded my first work some days ago, and based on what I've learned about things here so far I thought I should discuss something with everybody, authors and buyers, of course I've talked about this issue with Jeff previously.
The story is that different templates of different CMS 's need "different" expectations.
As far as I see WP is the dominant CMS here in TF (Note that we're talking about CMS 's, not the HTML and\or PSD templates and such) and meanwhile Envato seems to be eager to increase the number of Joomla (i.e.) templates, this's good, but needs a correct understanding of the Joomla templates, I mean their difference with the dominant CMS here, which's WP.
» WP themes need the designers design the plugins too; this's because of the fact that changing the look & feel of WP plugins requires editing their HTML \CSS files. So, a WP designer will choose 1 poll plugin (i.e.) to be used in her\his theme, 1 slideshow, 1 dropdown menu, and bla bla. Ok maybe sometimes, just for very professional themes, they design for more than 2 or 3 plugins, but usually it's just 1, and then adds built-in styles in the theme for them. Correct me if I'm wrong, as I've left WP some two years ago.
Joomla templates are not so, because Joomla isn't WP. Almost all the Joomla components that have something to do with the look & feel of your website, let you change the look & feel of the component via Joomla back-end.
Then the main concern would be the required space for the putting those components (modules) into the front-end; This is when we start talking about "positions".
So, Joomla templates are not expected to predict components for polls, slideshows, dropdown menus, etc. and have built-in styles for them. ( Of course, some parts of Joomla, like the default Login Form module are widely used and some designers might design them, but that's another story).
They're particularly expected to provide a nice, flexible, and valid W3C (x)HTML\CSS layout, probably with RTL (right to left) support, and, tens of positions and more; And! the thing they're not expected to offer is having built-in styles for some components.
Long story short, if TF is expected to get more non-WP stuffs, like Joomla templates, Drupal themes, phpBB styles (*), we need a correct understanding of each CMS . Of course, I know with more Joomla\Drupal templates uploaded here, we'll see more Joomla\Drupal users coming to TF, and little by little the understanding and expectations of such templates will become more correct, but just wanted to help TF and it make it faster, that's why I've wrote this.
Have a beautiful day,
[The star] Which I should nag about round the click as lots of our current phpBB styles are just little modified proSilver's and\or other free phpBB styles.
Important: Dear moderators, please don't move this topic to another forum. It's not about CMS 's, it's about the TF atmosphere, and the current forum is where it should be IMO .
Anyone even read this topic? after a month!
Were you the one who suggested that WordPress devs don't really know what they're doing, when compared to Joomla devs?
I don't understand what this is addressing. Had a file rejected? Customers of your current joomla theme? Other ThemeForest authors saying something?
Were you the one who suggested that WordPress devs don't really know what they're doing, when compared to Joomla devs?
Hi Jeff,
No, I'm the one who said, in comparison to Joomla and Drupal, Wordpress websites are not very big. In addition to this, Joomla, and especially Drupal are used on very big sites, say newspapers, magazines, universities, and so on and so forth.
So, those who design for such "CMSs" are usually "experts" while WP designers are rarely "experts" they're mostly students and such.
I know, I know, I know WP and WP lovers are dominant here, but the fact is that WP is a tiny puppy, while Joomla is a big wolf, and Drupal is a Tyrannosaurus. If we don't understand how to evaluate designs for each one "correctly", we should expect TF to be a source of WP themes solely, while there's a thirst for Joomla, Drupal, and even phpBB designs out there.
Of course, as once said, I believe when we get more Joomla and Drupal designs, say 50, my Joomla\Drupal troops will arrive and everything will change!
For now, I'm alone here, so come on WP lovers!! throw tomatoes!! ; )
No, I'm the one who said, in comparison to Joomla and Drupal, Wordpress websites are not very big. In addition to this, Joomla, and especially Drupal are used on very big sites, say newspapers, magazines, universities, and so on and so forth.The New York Times, Harvard, Le Monde, PlayStation, Rolling Stones… etc etc, all use a form of WP in their sites. I'm not saying it's always the best option, I'm just saying it can be (and has been) done.
So, those who design for such "CMSs" are usually "experts" while WP designers are rarely "experts" they're mostly students and such.This was obviously meant to start a flame war, what an outrageous statement.
WP is a blog publishing tool, while Drupal is a CMS . We should NOT compare them at all. Anywhere WP been used, it was for a blog, but 9 out of 10 of the sites mentioned below are "based on" Drupal. Even among well known CMS 's, Drupal is hardly comparable to any, maybe eZPublish, but not tiny tiny Joomla for sure.

I used Joomla for two years for my personal site and can't be happier to have migrated to Wordpress. I found the content hierarchy, templating system, and entire UI to be unintuitive in comparison. It's been at least a year+ since I've used it so things may have changed.
But hey, to each his own I guess…
WP is a blog publishing tool, while Drupal is a CMS .We should NOT compare them at all
That's just nonsense – Wordpress has CMS capabilities far beyond simply a 'blog publishing tool' and to ignore it as a viable open source CMS option would be ignorant IMHO …
Then why we've bbPress and BuddyPress ? maybe WP can't handle discussion forums and social networks? Oops! Joomla can, Drupal too!
Also: http://wordpress.org/showcase/ How many of these are "not" blogs?
Some 359 websites, 60 of which tagged "CMS", and yet most of these 60 are little websites.
Why WP lovers like to ignore facts that much?

Who gives the go-ahead for a novel heart procedure? At University Health Network in Toronto, a judging panel includes a frozen-food magnate, a real-estate developer and a 28-year-old entrepreneur who vet medical innovations alongside surgeons.
The stakes are high: A refusal to bankroll a new procedure from a $1.5-million fund can spell fewer interventional options for those with failing hearts.
"There will be some people where it will be a life and death decision," acknowledged cardiologist Harry Rakowski, chair of the innovation committee at the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre. "As physicians, we are used to struggling with those decisions."
But business executives aren't. Their bad calls may spell financial loss, but not a poorer quality or shortened life for patients. What they lack in medical knowledge, however, they make up in business acumen: They have a knack for backing a winner.
"You really want to approve everything because everything is so important," said panel member Jeff Rubenstein, chief executive officer of Export Packers Company Ltd., a fresh and frozen food company. "But on the other hand, you have a fiduciary responsibility. ... You really can't approve everything because there isn't an unlimited amount of funds."
Barry Rubin, medical director of the cardiac centre, had the idea to create an innovation judging committee that would include business people who "have a good sniff test."
Before this vetting process, doctors who wanted to test new procedures not funded by the public health system would ask administrators to find money from a hospital's global operating budget, a fixed pot of cash. Others have preferred the more time-consuming route of building relationships with philanthropists in hopes of attracting funding.
With constraints on public-health spending and provinces seeking fee reductions from doctors, innovation has become the key watchword. Canadian hospitals have little left in their budgets for innovative projects, which are often the first to go in tight fiscal times. This novel model is a potential solution because it provides not only a structure but a process; it helps ensure donor money is wisely spent, while trying to encourage innovation among health-care providers.
In this case, written proposals must answer 10 questions, plus commit to a study on cost-effectiveness for up to three years. That proposal then goes before the 13-member committee that includes five lay people, doctors, surgeons and a hospital administrator. After the panel rates the proposal with a letter grade and renders its decision, it goes to the cardiac centre's executive committee for final sign-off. After the cost-effectiveness study, it goes to a government-funded body that makes a recommendation to Ontario on whether the procedure should be funded.
At the first meeting to vet new proposals in late March, four ideas were on the table competing for a piece of the $1.5-million fund – a donor sum kick-started by Peter Munk and expected to climb to $2-million by next year.
One proposal was a treatment that controlled persistently high blood pressure. Another reduced the chances of amputation by inserting a balloon coated with drugs into leg vessels of patients with tissue-clogged stents. A third created a Web-based score that could help select which heart failure patients are at high risk of dying if not admitted to hospital.
A proposal that cost $30,000 per patient, however, was the one that caused the most discussion. It involved a clip to help reduce mitral regurgitation, a condition where the heart valve does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. Dr. Rakowski described the device as looking like a "really good paper clip."
It was, however, a treatment for heart patients who had run out of interventional options. Vlad Dzavik, deputy head of the division of cardiology at University Health Network, passionately argued on behalf of a colleague whose proposal it was, that it be funded.
"These are patients whose quality of life is incredibly poor," said Dr. Dzavik. "They don't have options. ... this provides a potential option."
Dr. Rakowski, who chaired the meeting, graded it as a B, noting "if we commit to this now, we're basically out of money." He estimated it would cost almost $2-million over three years to perform the procedure on just two patients a month.Report Typo/Error
