The ability to accelerate is critical to a multihull's safety at sea. Life's A Dream's owner found production designs wanting and had her custom designed by John Shuttleworth to epitomize a strong, light, buoyant, weatherly performance cruising catamaran. She was professionally built in South Africa with her owner intent on a circumnavigation. Now that circumnavigation is complete, the design and build well proven, and she is ready to go again.
Life's A Dream has beautiful wind and water shedding lines. Daggerboards, dual helms, self tacking headsail - everything to make her a fast, responsive and easily managed at sea. Sail Magazine attested to her performance in their 2007 review, "As the gusts swept down Table Bay and nailed the big cat, it would simply accelerate and flick a bit of spray off the leward hull. I felt safe and secure steering her." She is fast to weather, tacks easily, points high, and out reaches and outruns almost everything. Email me and I will send you the full review. Really this is a cat that delivers exquisite bluewater sailing.
Her interior is spare, clean, and uncluttered. She has been designed and equipped to provide her crew with everything they need for a great liveaboard experience. Everything you need and nothing you don't, no-nonsense, immenently practical, and very sensibly laid out. If your dreams include a circumnavigation or Pacific gyre, call me. This is a catamaran you should not overlook.

Dries Van Noten Fall 2013
"I was in a Fred and Ginger mood!" declared an unusually antic Dries Van Noten backstage at Paris's magnificent 1880s Hôtel de Ville. For this supremely elegant collection, Van Noten played with the idea of classic "men's clothes and men's fabrics invaded by female embellishment," as he expressed it, a mix that ran to combinations such as "English wool with ostrich and diamonds." But even at its most decorated, the look had an attitude that was essentially modern in its wearability and ineffable chic.
Like the pianist seated at his grand piano at the top of the monumental staircase playing subtle riffs on such stirring classics as "Cheek to Cheek," "As Time Goes By," and "Night and Day," Van Noten took those trappings of silver-screen glamour—feather fronds, rhinestones, and drifts of chiffon—but stripped them of their Academy Awards connotations and brought them firmly into the twenty teens. This was boyfriend borrowing on the grand scale: The show opened with an oversize man's navy wool top coat embellished with a rococo swirl of red wool and silver tinsel embroidery, worn with lean gray flannel pants and rubber-soled Oxfords. A camel Crombie coat was latticed with twinkling rhinestones or a giant cabled sweater was paired with a skirt in the stripes of an Ivy League tie—the silk unthreaded at the hemline to finish it with a deep band of flapper fringing. Old-fashioned cricket blazer stripes (that recalled Van Noten's debut as a menswear designer), Savile Row suiting fabrics, and poplin shirts were mixed with soft wool challis and georgette chiffons in a shadowy Victorian wallpaper floral and a 1960s-couture-flavored lamé brocade in pale silver and rose. There was an early sixties couture spirit, too, to the wide-cut slash-neck tops and tunics, but the spirit was always casual, even when a man's crumpled cotton shirt was worn with one of Van Noten's "fluffy things," a ball-gown skirt fluttering with toffee-colored ostrich fronds.


text: Disciplinary Hearing Process The Student Judicial Board conducts the hearing process as outlined in the Regis Student Handbook. Judicial Board The Judicial Board consists of a Chief Justice who is elected by the student body, and Associate Justices who are appointed by the Chief Justice and voted on by the Regis University Student Government Association (RUSGA). The Judicial Board is advised by the Assistant Director of Judicial Affairs and the Director of Student Activities. Judicial Board hearings are generally conducted involving a quorum of four Associate Justices and the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice will conduct all hearings and will only vote in the event of a tie vote among the Associate Justices. It is important for the Judicial Board to remain impartial, and if a conflict of interest may arise because of a past or current relationship between a Judicial Board member and a participant in a hearing, that individual will excuse him/herself from the case. For information on how to get involved with the Judicial Board, please contact the Assistant Director for Judicial Affairs. Student Advocate Students may also make use of Student Advocate(s), who are nominated by the Chief Justice and approved by the Student Senate to assist students in presenting their case or testimony. Use of the Student Advocates is done at the student's own discretion. Students may also select a University faculty or staff member on their own to serve as advocate during the hearing. It is the student's responsibility to select an advocate and to make him/her available for the scheduled hearing. The University cannot guarantee the availability of an advocate. Advocates are used to support the student during a hearing. They should not present evidence or substitute for the student's role in offering evidence or questions. The University reserves the right to bar individuals from participating as advocates who have failed to observe the standards of conduct, who have failed to assist and advise students properly on the process, or who have otherwise disrupted the judicial process. The Dean of Students shall have sole discretion for making such determination. The University does not warrant the competency or conduct of any University employee or student chosen to act as an advocate Hearing Testimony The Judicial Board or Officer will have the right to require the presence and testimony of witnesses relevant to the case. As a condition of their enrollment at Regis, students are required to appear as witnesses and give testimony unless excused by a legally justifiable privilege. Witnesses who decline to appear may be held in violation of the Standards of Conduct and referred to the Dean of Students, who may elect to initiate disciplinary proceedings against that student. Should the Judicial Board or Officer decide it requires additional evidence or testimony to resolve the case, a second hearing date will be scheduled with the student to review this information. Judicial Board Deliberation In deliberating the verdicts, the Judicial Board or Officer will typically make its decisions on facts based on a preponderance of evidence available for their review, including, but not limited to, all testimony from witnesses, written statements, and other relevant information. In evaluating conflicting testimony or statements, the Board or Officer will determine as they see fit which versions of events are more credible. The Judicial Board or Officer should not typically consider procedural errors in reviewing evidence unless the errors indicate that the staff member's evidence or testimony lacks credibility. Appeal Process Following a Disciplinary Hearing, either with the Judicial Board or a Judicial Officer, students have the right to appeal their case to the Dean of Students. For more information, please refer to the Discipline Process link to the left. Student Handbook and information contained on this site, the language contained in the Student Handbook will always supersede the language contained on this site.

Carl is a 56-year old account manager for a large software company who spends most of his work day at a desk. He lives in New Jersey.
When did you first start having back pain?
I first experienced the pain 6 years ago when I suffered a fall at home. I have had many subsequent flare-ups. My pain also involves my left hip, leg, and knee.
Do you know the cause of your back pain?
I have had several disk problems in my neck and lower back. As it turns out, I also have spinal stenosis. The worst part is that my ability both to walk and to lift are impaired. I am very weak in my left leg and even my balance has been affected.
What treatments have you used?
In the beginning, I needed prescription medications for pain and inflammation. Ice helps me a lot whenever I have flare-ups. Exercises I learned from my physical therapist prevent pain and help my mobility. I've tried spinal manipulation by a chiropractor, but it hasn't done much for my pain.
What treatments have been effective?
Working with a physical therapist in the pool has been particularly helpful for relieving my pain and even improving my strength. Medications definitely help when I need them.
What has not been effective?
Surgery, which I have undergone two times, has never been helpful. It seems that after each operation, I felt better for a short period of time. But, both times my pain came back within a few months.
What makes your back pain worse?
If I sit for extended periods of time without getting up to stretch, I am quite stiff and my back hurts a lot. Basically, I can't lift any heavy objects or climb stairs without pain. Also, if I lose my balance and fall, the pain always comes back. I have to be very careful not to fall.
What makes your back pain better?
Exercising in the water helps. Ice and medications help when I first have recurrent pain.
Have you had to take time off work?
With my initial episode of pain, I actually had to take 4 months off from work. Two other times, I had to take 3 weeks off each time. Mostly, I just need a day off for back pain several times per year.
How much work have you missed altogether?
In 6 years, I have had to take a total of 9 months off.
What do you do at work to make it better?
I don't do any heavy lifting. I also don't climb stairs. I try to avoid any sudden movements and I get up from my desk at least every hour to stretch.
Have your employers been accommodating if your pain affects work and work affects your pain?
I use sick and vacation time whenever I have back pain.
Do you exercise? How often?
Yes. I do 3 good sessions per week and it makes a big difference in preventing my pain.
What types of exercises do you do?
Walking makes my pain worse. So, I ride a stationary bicycle, do certain stretches for my back, neck and legs, and I use a nautilus machine to lift light weights. The physical therapist taught me the proper stretches and strength training.
Does exercise help?
Without regular exercise, I'm afraid that I would get back pain much more often than I do.
What happens with your back if you don't exercise?
When I don't exercise, I feel very down and I have little energy or enthusiasm for much. I'm also less productive and have more back pain as well as problems moving around.
Do you have any advice for other people with back pain?
Chronic back pain is very taxing. You need to address both the physical and the psychological limitations. Also, learning to better tolerate your pain is helpful, as long as you are not trying to deny that you are having pain. Try to listen to and respect your body.

LONG BEACH -- As the fog lifted in Downtown Long Beach on Friday morning, Maj. Judy Hedgren was officially ringing in the holiday season.
Manning one of the iconic red Christmas kettles and clanging the accompanying bell, Hedgren and the Long Beach Chapter of the Salvation Army began the annual Christmas Kettle Kick-off drive before a cozy gathering at the Promenade.
"I'm just encouraging people," she said as she stood watch over her kettle.
Hedgren, whose husband, Rudy, is the director of operations for the local Army Citadel, and organizers were grateful for the weather improvement just a half-hour before the scheduled noon start-time of the event.
This year, the Salvation Army will have 25 kettles scattered throughout Long Beach.
"The kettle drive provides all the funds for food baskets and toys we provide (to 1,500 families,)" Rudy Hedgren said.
Last year, the local Salvation Army collected a record $77,000 from the kettles, he said.
This year, with a strong retail season predicted by many financial forecasters, organizers hope for a boost in charitable giving as well.
Rudy Hedgren said this year his group was hoping to raise $80,000 from the kettles.
Friday's event featured a 14-piece Salvation Army brass band.
Also on hand were six members of the Long Beach Junior Singing Company, under the direction of Capt. Erika Hernandez, who sang a selection of songs for the onlookers.
Erika Hernandez, whose husband, Moy, is the commanding officer of the local Salvation Army chapter, thanked those who came to the event.
"Through the monies raised (by the kettle drive) many lives will be touched," she said, noting that funds help support 800 "adopted" Salvation Army families, 750 participants in the annual toys for tots program and those in the Holiday Dreams program, co-sponsored by the Press-Telegram.
While the weather lifted in time for the event, unaccounted for was Poly High graduate and Olympic silver medalist Lashinda Demus.
The 2012 Christmas celebrity chairwoman, Demus was unavailable. Rudy Hedgren said he did not know why Demus was unable to attend.
Although Demus' absence shortened the scheduled hourlong event, Salvation Army officials were undeterred and closed the ceremony with Christmas carols accompanied by the band and children from the choir.

:frosty: It's snowing outside. Cats is bored, because cats don't going out in the snow. :kitty:
Sorry cats, but that's just hard luck ... we can't stop it snowing just for you.
WOW i like snow very much, and it's yeah it's sad for cats ..
Send 'em out anyway, I say ...
Really? Don't you think the birds have a tough enough time in the snow without having to worry about being chased by cats? I say keep cats in all year round ...
Really? Don't you think the birds have a tough enough time in the snow without having to worry about being chased by cats? I say keep cats in all year round .
Sorry, going on what I've been hearing, I was banking on it being so cold that the cats would freeze to death before they could get up to any mischief ... :shifty:
Ah ... now I like your thinking. :x
Ah ... now I like your thinking. :x
I like to see snow once a year and thats for Christmas and only Christmas.
You won't like Australia then. :lol:
snow in australia? crazy...& cats most likely are very grateful to stay inside where it is warm. they are not furry little idiots (sometimes they act like it of course...)
Now it is raining - and raining and raining. Even the dogs (generally phenomenally stupid ) look outside and go Nah not going out just now thanks.
What do you have against cats? :eek:
:eek2: You mean, there's something to like about cats?
Since the beginning of January, it's been raining in here. It's quite cold. Not the normal temperature we usually have. We're in the tropics. I sort of like wear sweater or jacket every time. The sun barely comes out off the thick (dark) clouds. Good thing we don't have snow. Heavy rain alone feels really cold. Can't imagine what snow would be like.
Today is the first day in what seems to be forever that we have not had snow. I am currently in Liverpool (UK).
Of course! Same about dogs, horses, birds...
we have had a lot of snow here in the uk. but finally its all cleared up, like snow, hate slush
:lol: Priceless.
hi,i like snow so much.i like to see snow.sorry sad for cats.

REDLANDS - This is the first interview we filmed. I'm always nervous, but was especially uncomfortable in front of the camera this first go-round.
Larry Munz's father, Martin, came here in 1950 as the principal of Redlands Junior High School, which is now North Campus of Redlands High School. The RHS administration building is called the Martin H. Munz Administration Building.
He was principal at RHS from 1966 to 1972.
"He loved helping teachers become better teachers," Larry Munz said.
The shop building on campus is named after Larry's wife's grandfather, Clarence Hardy.
On the video, Munz points to parts of the high school and talks about the way it used to be.
"There's not much left of the old campus, really," he says.
He brings up names of many people who were involved in the school when he attended, and later when he became an industrial arts teacher.
He taught at Cope Junior High in the 1960s before moving to the Regional Occupational Program, and was ultimately the superintendent of the Colton-Redlands-Yucaipa ROP.
After a stint as a general contractor, he taught at RHS, but not while his father was principal.
He says his dad was "fair, firm and friendly." He describes himself as "firm and probably fair."
Munz describes seeing the Sylvan Plunge for the first time in 1950. He said that when he was a student he was a swimmer, but there was no campus pool, so the RHS swimmers practiced at the YMCA and the University of Redlands.
He later became the first coach of the Redlands Swim Team - then called the Redlands Swim Club Barracudas. He describes the early days, the challenges the team faced, and the successes the club has seen.
Munz's son and daughter-in-law are Hometown Heroes, serving in the military and being celebrated by the city with banners on Cajon Street. His daughter is a labor and delivery nurse at Redlands Community Hospital. Her father-in-law is a longtime RHS coach.
Like his father, Munz is a Kiwanian. He's also on the board of the Redlands Scholarship Foundation, and the vice president of the board of trustees for the Kimberly Crest. He was chairman of the Redlands Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission in the 1970s when it was first implementing the ordinance for historic preservation, which he describes on the video.

Blow Me: Chapter 7 Excerpt
By the end of the week, Skye understood why Howard had hired the Hefner Twins. She had often expressed to him how overburdened she was by her job, and he finally listened. The new girls would infuse more life into the office, something she had been trying to do since Day One. It had been a losing battle with nobody on her side, but now she had allies. And since they were new, they would be kissing her ass while they learned the ropes. She would be able to take all sorts of liberties. Extended lunches for a quick polish change or brow tweeze. The possibilities were endless. Maybe she could arrange to have Fridays off. Why not! She had been there a decade. She had seniority. She should get a gold watch, for Christ's sake. With the new girls on board, it was the perfect time to cash in on some vacation days, so Skye put in a request for a weeklong vacation in March and IMed Dawn:
How was lunch with the Architect?
Pretty good.
2nd date???
Dawn waited a few minutes, took a phone call, and checked her e-mail before responding. She knew the suspense would kill Skye.


text: Hi all, new to bt and pen testing as well. I have a .xls file that is password protected to open and I can not remember my password. I am aware that there are specific programs for this available but I can not find any freeware (everything cost around 30$, which is crazy for 1 file). I have a pretty good idea what the password is so i was going to try some sort of brute force with specific characters or a decryption method. I was reading up on John the ripper and found "John the Ripper 1.7.7-jumbo-6 integrates preliminary support for several non-hashes, ......, password-protected PDF files with 40-bit and 128-bit RC4 encryption". I understand that this says pdf file but my .xls file is a 40bit rc4 encryption. Would it be possible to use JTR on this file? Should i be using a different tool? Any help would be much appreciated.

I have had a few threads asking about clubs and have both enjoyed them. But I was moving around a bit with working in Motorsport (industry in and out of jobs)
But now in a stable job for atleast 3 years located in Cheshire.
I am looking for very good clubs offering a number of martial arts with a good reputation and not just after the money as those sorts are around it seems.
I'm looking to train in Kickboxing, Kung Fu, Krav Maga and Grappling/BJJ.
Competing is always good also. But, I can only compete where I wont be taking blows to the head as insurance wont cover me due to having a serious head injury which took me out of training for atleast 12 months! So competing for me is only in things like BJJ/Grappling or no head contact Kung Fu lets say.
All help would be much appreciated.
I've found Ultimate Martial Arts Crewe and Total Urban (But don't know much about these clubs)
Help is grateful.

By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — Stormy Peters' death was tragic for her, but not an accident, a Snohomish County judge said on Wednesday.
The 6-year-old was shot in her forehead by her drunken father in 2008 after he told her to bring him his gun.
The lawyer for Richard Peters said the family considers her death a tragic accident.
Superior Court Judge Joseph Wilson saw things differently.
The shooting wasn't something that was thrust on Peters, outside of his control, the judge said. The man was drunk and handling firearms. Whether he believed the gun was loaded or not is irrelevant, Wilson said. He should have protected his daughter. That was his job, and he failed, the judge added.
"It's a tragedy for Stormy, but it's not a tragedy for Mr. Peters because he created it. It's not a tragedy for the family because they allowed the environment to fester. It was simply a matter of time," Wilson said.
The judge on Wednesday sentenced Peters to five years and three months in prison, the maximum sentence under the law. Peters already has served about 4 1/2 years behind bars. He likely will be released in the coming months.
Prosecutors learned on Wednesday that Peters may appeal his conviction.
A Snohomish County jury earlier this month found Peters guilty of second-degree manslaughter with a firearm. They acquitted him of the more serious charge of first-degree manslaughter, concluding that Peters was negligent, not reckless.
It was the second trial for Peters. His original first-degree manslaughter conviction was overturned in 2011 after the state Court of Appeals found that the jury was given erroneous instructions, lowering the burden of proof for the first-degree manslaughter charge. Peters was given more than 13 years in prison after that conviction.
His attorney Laura Martin asked the judge to send Peters home. She said that he and his family have been punished enough. Her client does take responsibility for shooting his daughter. His wife and his 8-year-old son need him home, she said.
"Rich is a loving husband and father to his kids," his wife Kristina Peters said.
"I'd like to go home to my wife and kids. I miss them more than life," Peters said. "I can't believe any of this happened."
Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Paul Stern said that if were up to him Peters would remain in prison until "he gets it."
The defendant has failed to grasp that the shooting could have been prevented, Stern said.
The deputy prosecutor wonders who is standing up for Stormy.
Two weeks ago when the verdict came back, Snohomish County sheriff's detective Brad Walvatne brought flowers to the little girl's grave, Stern said. The homicide detective had done the same after the first trial.
"He's the one who brought flowers. Two weeks later, his are still the only ones there," Stern said Wednesday morning.
Wilson, clearly troubled by the girl's death, said he is worried about the Peters' family and their son. The judge said there has been no acknowledgement that Richard Peters has a drinking problem. His mixing alcohol and guns is the reason Stormy Peters is dead, the judge said.
"This was waiting to happen. If not that day, some other day," Wilson said.

New Orleans Saints at 49ers
Records: Saints 14-3, 49ers 13-3
The setting: Candlestick Park in San Francisco, 1:30 p.m. PST
TV: FOX (Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, Tony Siragusa>
Last meeting: The Saints escaped 25-22 with a 37-yard field goal as time expired at Candlestick Park on a Monday night game Sept. 20, 2010.
Streaking: The Saints have won six straight against the 49ers, averaging 31 points, and have scored at least 30 points in five straight playoff games.
Second level: Saints QB Drew Brees filleted the Lions' linebacker corps, which failed to provide resistance in coverage of RB Darren Sproles and TE Jimmy Graham last week. The 49ers have arguably the best bunch of 'backers in the NFL, and won't let Brees set his feet and throw on time by using delayed and cornerback blitzes to cloud passing lanes. It's tantamount for the Saints to commit to running between the tackles, using their massive interior linemen to lean on ILBs Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, the top playmakers on the NFL's No. 1-ranked run defense. Doing so buys Brees time to dial deep throws to Graham and WRs Robert Meachem and Lance Moore (hamstring), who missed last week's game.
Gore season: No team turns it over less – 10 turnovers in the regular season – or takes the ball away more (38 takeaways, tied, Green Bay) than the 49ers. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman can live in his "jumbo" personnel package. While RB Frank Gore is the central figure in play-action offense, the 49ers are likely to pass on early downs, using quick-hitting crossing routes to TE Vernon Davis – which puts SS Roman Harper in coverage – from bunched formations. The Saints want to force Smith to convert third downs; San Francisco was 31st in the NFL with a rate of 29.4 percent during the regular season. In a close game, the 49ers get the edge. K David Akers had 44 field goals in 2011 and has 31 postseason field goals while P Andy Lee (44.0-yard net) and RS Ted Ginn are valued weapons.
Need to know: The 49ers went 5-0 against 2011 opponents that played the Saints. ... Saints PK John Kasay was 7-of-13 from 40-plus yards this season. Five of his six misses were on the road.
Denver Broncos at New England Patriots
Records: Broncos 9-8, Patriots 13-3
The setting: Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Saturday, 8 p.m. EST
TV: CBS (Jim Nantz, Phil Simms)
Last meeting: The Patriots pulled away 41-23 at Denver on Dec. 18 after allowing 167 rushing yards in the first quarter. New England TE Aaron Hernandez caught nine passes for 129 yards and a touchdown.
Streaking: The Patriots are the NFL's best home team, 74-15 including the postseason, since Gillette Stadium opened in 2002.
Gift wrap: Denver moves OLB Von Miller around the field to get him in mismatches. But even if he gets pressure, Miller needs help behind him. The Broncos tackled poorly and blew assignments repeatedly in the first meeting. While containing WR Wes Welker, they neglected Hernandez and fellow TE Rob Gronkowski. Denver plans to use more of its "heavy dime" package with S Rafael Bush playing cornerback; it was effective last week. QB Tom Brady will hold Bush's feet to the flame to find out if he can hold up, while also again targeting undrafted rookie CB Chris Harris. Harris helped keep Welker quiet the first time around.
Four front: The Patriots were gashed on the ground with a 4-3 front at Denver, then finished the game using more 3-4 alignments. The wide sets from the outside linebackers kept QB Tim Tebow contained, not allowing him to turn the corner. New England wants to funnel the action inside, where its top playmakers, Vince Wilfork and Jerod Mayo, await. To draw the Patriots out of that package, Tebow has to be effective on early downs getting the ball to his receivers. Denver won't veer far from its bread and butter of straight-ahead running, even with expectations that Bill Belichick will have an inventive gameplan waiting after an extra week of prep.
Need to know: Denver is one of just five teams in NFL history to start a season 2-5 or worse and reach the postseason. ... The Patriots allowed 74 points in the first half of their final four regular-season games.
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens
Records: Texans 11-6, Ravens 12-4
The setting: M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Sunday, 1 p.m.
TV: CBS (Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf )
Last meeting: The Ravens beat Houston in Week 6, 29-14. RB Ray Rice rushed for 101 yards and had 60 more receiving.
Streaking: Texans RB Arian Foster rushed for 153 yards last week, his eighth 100-plus yard outing in his last 11 games.
Giant Andre: Houston's ideal scenario involves another big game from WR Andre Johnson (5-90-1 last week vs. Cincinnati) and a monster effort from Foster and backup Ben Tate. The Texans cannot fully spare rookie QB T.J. Yates the blunt force of emotion he'll get from the Ravens defense – which had 48 sacks in 2011 – but they can make his job easier. OLB Terrell Suggs had 14 sacks, but he's also a hip toss away from wrecking most running plays. When Suggs gets penetration, the Ravens' disciplined defense quickly scissors into cutback lanes, where Foster does most of his damage. If the Texans can't win that battle, they'll surely lose the war.
Slack for Flacco: Rice closed the regular season at a furious pace, averaging 115 yards in the final seven games, including 191- and 204-yard rushing efforts. The Texans' defense rides into Baltimore locked into the plan to make someone other than Rice beat them. QB Joe Flacco has his full complement of receivers healthy for the first time since September. WR Anquan Boldin (knee) is expected to be ready, and zipped around CB Johnathan Joseph for 132 yards in the October meeting. If the Texans don't give up the deep ball to WR Torrey Smith, they can test whether the Ravens have fully overcome the penchant for stalling in the red zone.
Need to know: The Ravens are 21-3 at M&T Bank Stadium the last three seasons, but 0-2 in the postseason. ... Yates is the first rookie drafted in the fifth round or later to win an NFL playoff game.
New York Giants at Green Bay Packers
Records: Giants 10-7, Packers 15-1
The setting: Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Sunday, 3:30 p.m. CST
TV: FOX (Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Pam Oliver)
Last meeting: The Packers won, 38-35, at MetLife Stadium on PK Mason Crosby's 31-yard field goal as time expired in Week 13. QB Aaron Rodgers had 369 yards passing and four touchdowns for Green Bay.
Streaking: The Packers had a 10-point quarter in every game except their Dec. 18 loss at Kansas City.
Z to decide: Jordy Nelson, the Packers' "Z" receiver, and TE Jermichael Finley dictated coverage looks from the Giants in the first meeting. New York aggressively bracketed "X" Greg Jennings, but coach Mike McCarthy, the Packers' play-caller, said the Giants' defense has since been simplified. By bodying up their receivers at the line, the Giants hope to give their agile pass rushers time to crowd Rodgers' sightlines -- if not bring him down. Jennings has pogo-stick quickness in and out of his breaks and gets deep easily, but the entire receiver corps blocks well. With RB James Starks (ankle) healthy for the first time in months, the Packers will use the Giants' aggressiveness against them with screen passes and isolation draws designed to expose shaky second-level tackling.
The long of it: The Packers' pass rush slowed late in the season with five sacks in the final six games. The Giants averaged 5.0 yards per carry in the first meeting, but called 40 passes in their 61 offensive snaps. They'll try to balance that number, and target RB Ahmad Bradshaw and TE Jake Ballard short, but the game will be there to be won with the deep ball. QB Eli Manning has three receivers who can take the top off of a defense in Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham, but must be cautious. Green Bay's corners (31 interceptions) aggressively jump inside routes, and Manning threw a pick-six in the first meeting.
Need to know: Thirty players in this game – 15 from each roster – played in the 2008 NFC Championship Game won by the Giants. ... The Packers allowed an NFL-record 4,796 yards passing during the regular season.

760Li long cranking and drivability issues solved--mostly
2003 760Li, 135,000 miles
I put drop-in flat K&N filters in with the stock amount of red oil on them. After not too long, I started getting really long cranking and also, some driveability issues It turned out to be two things happening at once:
1] hunting idle, and sometimes dying when just going into closed-loop mode, until the car is really warm.
2] Dying while driving, coming up to a stop sign when not fully warm.
3] light, occasional bumping feeling when driving at 1500-2000 rpm, feels like you are close to running out of gas, but still have some.
Cleaned the oil completely off the K&N filters and for now, driving on them with just the clean, dry cotton (yes I know, I know). Also cleaned the MAF sensors with sensor cleaner. Did not see any mention of a special tool needed for a 5-point Torx Plus Security bit, that information would have been nice for removal of the MAFs.
so that was a nasty surprise. I simply cut a big slice in each small bolt-head and used a flat-blade, since my car was apart and I needed it that day. No one and I mean NO ONE had or had heard of those tools.
that solved the serious drivability issues: No more dying at stop lights, much less hunting when cold. Still a bit of bumping at cruise, though.
Now, according to the posts, the long cranking seemed always related to the HPFP on the 760Li, but solved for most V-8 owners with a new fuel filter with fuel pressure regulator. That did not fix it for me. But the new fuel pump did. I was cranking for like 8-10 seconds before starts when it had been awhile, but it would start instantly when I had just stopped the engine. Obviously, the system was draining off pressure slowly while the car sat. Now it starts like it should.
I know the TIS mentions the special tool, and a lot of people suggest using a screwdriver and hammer, but I would not suggest screwing the tightening ring for the fuel pump back on unless you have a special tool, something like this
I made one from a 4" pipe PVC coupler. Cut notches in it. Took me about 5 minutes.
The hammer and screwdriver trick gets it off, but does not tighten it enough for me. I still had a leak from the seal when the gas tank was full.
So, thanks to everyone for the posts I read where you "clean your MAFs", "don't use K&Ns" and also, "replace the pump and filter". I appreciate it.
I still have a bit of the bumping like I said, and some minor hunting when not fully warm, but no engine dying. I might clean the MAFs one more time.
Past that, I might still be looking at HPFP issues, in my near future.
I spoke too soon. A few days after this, and some long delays between starts and the time to start the motor is still long, it's just better than it was before. Something is still up. Not sure what.
Also, was searching around the web on how to test a MAF with a multimeter and ran into this claim from K&N that they get MAF sensors sent to them on occasion and could never find any proof of their oil on the MAF. K&N says there was always some other reason for it's failure. In fact, since I joined the BMW forum, it is the first time I have heard of MAFs getting out of whack using their filters
The MAF could be the source of the problem if it's not giving the car a correct reading. Another member had the problem on his 745 and he disconnected the MAF completely. The car ran STUPID rich but all the drivability and sluggishness was gone. In all honesty, I would buy 2 new MAF sensors and put them in. They should help a LOT, and if not you can return them!
FYI, K&N has been known to mess up sensors because of the oil in their kits! The problem is not the filter nor the oil itself, but the amount of oil that is put on the filters! When people recharge the filters they use WAY to much oil and that can coat components over time.
IMO the best filter design I've seen is on the OEM Honda Filtech filters, they are a 2 stage filter with oil on the bottom half and then paper on the top half. This allow any oil vapor to be caught and allows for superior filtration. The only downside is that they need to be REPLACED every 30K.
Also, one thing you might want to look at is going to an independent mechanic and have them check the FUEL PRESSURE after the HPFP, after the in tank pump and at the filter as well. It could be possible that there is an obstruction of some sort.
Ethanol in the fuel now allows parts to corrode and have build-up accumulate on them! I've gone through 4 fuel sensors because they stop reading properly! I wouldn't be surprised if the same stuff doing that was clogging the lines or doing other sorts of damage.
I've been using Redline SI-1 fuel cleaner RELIGIOUSLY for the last 15K miles (every 5K a full bottle and mini maintenance doses in between) and I've noticed that my car is running a LOT better and as well gives better gas mileage!
One last note, I see that it has 135K miles on it. The spark plugs are supposed to be changed at 100K along with the intake manifold gasket. If the plugs have 135K then I wouldn't be surprised if it was the problem! However if they are new, an improper job reinstalling the intake manifold can cause a LOT of problems on the 760 as well!
thanks for the reply
K&N expressly states in one of those links I posted that they ran 1000cfm thru a heavily oiled filter and that no oil came off. They also state that many MAFs have been sent in and they could tie the failure to something electronic, but not something oil-related.
Now, that said, it's K&N who is doing the testing, but they do have hundreds of thousands or millions of filters on the road and only hundreds who suspect oil is causing the issue, and to date, no one can comprehensively prove K&N filter oil caused the breakdown.
The only way to know is to buy a brand new set of MAFs, drive with them on K&N filters, watch them fail in an untimely fashion. buy another set, run on stock filters and see them last 100K miles.
any takers?
They also point out some OEMs use oil on their filters as well.
I know I cleaned my MAFs and they seemed to do better, but... they could have needed a cleaning anyways. I still have all the issues I had before, just less amplified.
The manifold has been removed recenently and the gasket was not replaced, and neither were the plugs. I thought the manifold gasket looked like it could survive the trip. I was thinking of doing the AGA tube and decided the job was too big for the time I had. The issues did not surface until a thousands miles later, though.
But thanks for the tip on the plugs. I will look at the BMW service sheet I got from the dealer for plugs. If they are not changed, I'll look into it sometime soon--WITH a manifold gasket
I know I'm just talking to myself here, but for any of you 760 owners reading this, my HPFPs have been filling up the Tank Vent tubing and giving me Tank Vent valve errors. When I remove the quick-release tube on each throttle body I would find some gas there. That is from the HPFP failing. Nothing else can fill these with liquid gasoline. Then if you relase the quick-releases at the Tank Vent valves in your engine bay, they pour with gas. Again, this is and can only be: a HPFP failure.
My car will start, but now, pours gas from the tailpipe. It's being sucked into the intake manifold from these tubes, and is like flooding the motor. It'll get fixed soon. Hope this helps you 760 owners, since we are all pretty much "due" at this point.
Oh, and CS, once I figured out how to use DIS to measure manifold pressure, I am pretty sure the vacuum at idle and all thru the rev-range is fine. I'm pulling around 17-18 " Hg (converted from bar). No vacuum leak large enough to cause an issue. I don't remember specifics. But I have changed dozens of UIM to LIM gaskets on other cars. I remember being very impressd with this gasket and thinking the UIM/Plenum could just go right back on, and it appears to have. Not that a vacuum leak like that would be fun to fix....

MWS... I have been watching your posts. I have 85k on my 05'. Only put K&N's in at 80k so far no issues. However have not re oiled them yet. I have run them in all my other vehicles with out a problem. including my 97' 540. because of your issue I will keep a close eye on the MAF sensors. None of the other issues you mention have come up yet. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Rick
Why do think HPFP failure has anything to do with liquid fuel getting to your tank vent valves? If the HPFP failed, why would it fill the intake manifold with fuel?
I took my K&Ns out, then put them back in
there's several videos here. watch them. Especially watch the one where they submerge the MAF entirely in K&N oil and it still functions.
that said, I am just figuring out you can use DIS to measure the manifold pressure differential (MAP) sensor and try to determine if there's a restriction at WOT while driving. The problem is: DIS is insanely slow to refresh and very low-resolution. The results are not that accurate. My pal and I made some videos of the PC's screen and it was a bit dicey to try to make a decision based upon the super slow output of the Virtual machine and DIS.
I'm talking with Bimmersoftware.com to try to get his software to work on the N73 engine so it can log data nicely. Compare MAP to throttle position and RPM and go up past 6000 rpm for several runs. Then try stock filters. If the stocks show some restriction, then the K&Ns help. If not, don't bother.
turns out I was wrong....
Also, after that, I started to get PM'd buy a guy on the forum who clued me in. I started opening the quick releases at the Tank Vent valves, and saw I had liquid gasoline flowing out.
I did try a few purges of gas from these quick releases in the morning to see if I could drive well on my commute. It worked half the time, the other half, did not help a bit. It was totally chance.
Now, the car has so much gas in the lines, and the HPFPs appear to be filling the lines up even faster, I cannot drive it.
Time to fix.
Ok. I failed to notice that it was you who posted the message above from long ago. I did know you relized what the true cause was in your other posts. Be careful on any creative fixes as you dont want to cause a situation that can lead to an engine bay fire. Seems from one of your other posts that you might try diverting the leaking fuel directly to the tank so it cannot be ingested by the engine or foul the tank vent valves. Given the costs of the pumps, I would be tempted to try anything that worked and was cheaper. But, eventually, you will have to replace the pumps. Do one at a time if you have to in order to let the bank account recover. Good luck and be careful.
thanks for the concern for my safety...
I just want to look things over before I post what I'm up to, Might need some help here and there.
Here is my possible fix:
This is going to seem anticlimactic, but the actual "long starting times after a few hours or more" has been temporarily fixed: my battery was low, apparently, and did not notice it till I was farting around with DIS and suddenly the warning came up on the car. Checked it and for sure, it needed a good charge.
The non-BMW AGM replacement is only about 9-12 months old, and I am sure I registered it, so not sure what's up. But the car starts in about 2-3 seconds even when it's 32*F outside, and been 24 hours. I've checked this every day since Friday so I know it's consistent.
Still codes, still has gas in the Tank Vent valves. Just reporting the starting is not bad now.
I guess the reason it cranked faster after it's been running was the alternator had recently goosed it. Alt has 135K on it. Good thing I have a parts car now ;-P
Bahhhh, I hate bad science. But I have to report, my battery died pretty quickly in a week of not being driven, so the charged battery from several days ago was not helping the crank times. Even the night before it completely died, the battery was getting low, and still the car cranked over pretty quickly. I just forgot to charge it after that and it was dead in the morning. The only thing I can say about my dying HPFPs is, they are not predictable--as far as whether the long cranking is always directly related to them dying. Just documenting this in case it helps someone else.
It's charged back enough for me to move the car in and out the barn while I work on the parts car.
And my driver car still has gas in the vent tubes and drives like crap because of the HPFPs.

Kennewick Team Wins Design Competition for Fifth Consecutive Year
OLYMPIA — February 13, 2013 — For the fifth consecutive year, a team of students from Kennewick has won a statewide design competition and will get a chance to compete for national recognition, State Superintendent Randy Dorn announced today.
The team, from Kamiakin High School, won the 2012-13 Washington State Real World Design Challenge by designing an unmanned aircraft system.
Calling themselves Winging It, the team is comprised of the following members: Cooper Atkinson, Kyle Deatherage, Devin Gerboth, Joe Luey, Paul Pierson, Robin Rakowski and Sangeetha Thevuthasan. The team is coached by Kennewick architect Terrance Casey.
"I congratulate Winging It," said Dorn. "The students, the school and the volunteer coach all care about the competition and have worked hard to achieve these stunning results."
This year's challenge was to design an aircraft, then test its utility in a "mission scenario" involving a missing and injured child. Each team was responsible for selecting search patterns, best altitudes and associated equipment on the ground to find the child in the fastest time and for the lowest cost.
After winning the Washington State Challenge, the team now heads to the national championship in Washington, D.C. in April. During the national competition, Winging It will refine its initial design under new sets of specifications and parameters and make a team presentation of its design before a panel of industry professionals.
The 2011 Kennewick team, the Connotations of Flight, finished second in the nation.
The Real World Design Challenge is an annual competition that provides high school students, grades 9-12, the opportunity to work on real-world engineering challenges in a team environment. Each year, student teams are asked to address a challenge that confronts our nation's leading industries.
RWDC provides students with opportunities to apply the lessons of the classroom to the technical problems that are being faced in the workplace. Every teacher who participates in the Challenge gets $1 million in professional engineering software along with training, curriculum materials and access to mentors. Teams of 3-7 high school students use these resources to solve an engineering challenge that is currently faced by industry.

The feast of tabernacles
There is also another element in the scene we are considering, and that is the public and joyful assembly of the whole people, the feast of tabernacles, the great congregation (Psalm 22: 25), and also the dedication of the altar.
These are the two things which mark Israel's participation in the blessing, namely, the altar, and the feast of tabernacles; worship subsequent to their fall and ruin, founded on the acceptance of the sacrifice, and the realised effect of the promises, the people being no longer in distress [1] .
David's praise in the temple
We find again here the musical instruments of Jehovah, which David had made to praise Jehovah, "because his mercy endureth for ever"; when David himself "praised by their ministry" (7: 6); blessed thought! for who is this David? (compare Psalm 22: 22). The people saw themselves blessed and happy in all the goodness of Jehovah.
The conditions of enjoyment of blessing
After this the Lord sets before Solomon the conditions under which He places him, as well as the people, for the enjoyment, or for the recovery of these blessings. He had chosen this house of prayer. If there was chastening and the people humbled themselves, there was respite: the eyes and the heart of Jehovah should be there perpetually.
Then, with respect to Solomon and the seed of David generally, on their faithfulness the blessing of the whole people was to depend. If the house of David should turn away from God, Israel should be rooted out of the land; and the house, which had been sanctified by the worship of Jehovah, should become a by-word among all nations, and a witness to the just judgment of God.
[1] It does not appear however that they made booths with the branches of trees. Since Joshua, this had not been done until the days of Nehemiah. At the time which we are considering, joy and prosperity had made them a little neglectful of the word.Synopsis by John Darby

China Trade Deficit Causes 50,000 Lost Jobs In Arizona
Since 2001, the trade deficit with China has made a major impact on the United States. 2.8 million jobs have been lost, mainly in the manufacturing industry. However, now the deficit is hitting closer to home.
Arizona itself has experienced a job loss of 50,000 jobs, according to a study released by the Economic Policy Institute.
The growing trade deficit began when China entered the World Trade Organization. However, one of the most major causes of the ever-growing deficit with China is its illegal currency manipulation, according to Robert E. Scott, the EPI's Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Research.
China's currency, the yuan, does not fluctuate freely against the dollar. Instead, it is programmed in order to help increase China's exports.
The most major losses that occurred nationwide were in the computer and electronic parts industries, as 909,000 jobs were lost. The imports of the industries accounted for more than 44 percent of the $194 billion increase in the trade deficit between 2001 and 2010.
"Arizona urgently needs more manufacturing jobs to put people back to work, but our out-of-control trade deficit with China makes that impossible," says Scott Paul, executive director of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.
In addition to Arizona, the deficit has also impacted each congressional district, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
China's share of the total U.S. non-oil trade deficit has risen from 69.6 percent in 2008 to 78.3 percent in 2010. In addition to the currency, this is due to state-owned enterprises, industrial subsidies, property theft and piracy, innovation policies, rare earth mineral export restrictions and other trade-distorting practices.
In response to the deficit, Paul states, "Reducing our trade deficit and stopping China's unfair trade practices will grow jobs, lower our trade deficit and put the United States on sound fiscal footing."
By "challenging China's currency manipulation," there will be an increase in federal revenue, Paul said. Paul also said that China must raise the value of the yuan by at least 28.5 percent, otherwise job losses are going to continue to increase.

Surfaces like kitchen and bathroom counters, door knobs, toilet seats and children's toys may be contaminated with bacteria even when they're not visibly soiled. Germs can be spread to other surfaces on dirty cleaning cloths and sponges. Products that claim to kill germs must meet efficacy requirements and guidelines established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and must be registered with EPA and carry an EPA registration number on their label. In order for surfaces to be effectively disinfected, the instructions on product labels need to be followed carefully. What is seasonal influenza (flu)?Seasonal influenza, commonly called "the flu," is caused by influenza viruses, which infect the respiratory tract (i.e., the nose, throat, lungs). Unlike many other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people. The best way to prevent seasonal flu is by getting a seasonal flu vaccination each year. In the United States, on average 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu; more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from seasonal flu-related complications, and; about 36,000 people die from seasonal flu-related causes. Some people, such as older people, young children, pregnant women, and people with certain health conditions, are at high risk for serious flu complications. The 2009-2010 flu season could be worse. There is a new and very different flu virus spreading worldwide among people called 2009 H1N1 flu. This virus may cause more illness or more severe illness than usual. What are the symptoms of the flu? Influenza is a respiratory illness. Symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea.

Army Corps of Engineers receives money to renourish Folly Beach
The Fiscal Year 2013 Work Plan was released Monday by the Office of Management and Budget and included $20.4 million for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District.
Along with the City of Folly Beach's 15 percent cost share, the funds received will allow the Charleston District to award a contract before the end of the fiscal year and begin construction in late-October.
The renourishment will place approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of sand back onto the 5.47 mile long federal project section of Folly Beach. It will take approximately seven months to complete.
According to a press release sent Tuesday, the project will not have any negative impact on the work currently being done by the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission and should tie in with that section of beach.
"We're excited that the work plan included funds to renourish Folly Beach," said Lt. Col. Ed Chamberlayne, Charleston District commander. "The community has been very active in working with the South Carolina delegation to let them know the importance of this project."
Also included in the FY13 Work Plan was $14.2 million for operations and maintenance of Charleston Harbor, $1.575 million for the Post 45 feasibility study, $4.5 million for the Cooper River Rediversion Project, and $875,000 for condition surveys in the federal waterways.
No funds were received for Georgetown Harbor or the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The Charleston District will continue coordinate with the sponsors of these projects to evaluate future possibilities.
