2008 BMW X5 Mileage
First off, I want to say that I am SORRY if anyone has started this thread, please don't brand me as junk or rubbish. I have searched part of the forum, but there are just too many pages. I found one similar thread, but he wanted to know about an '04 mileage.
My question is, what mpg's are you guys getting on the '07-'08 4.8i? post the mpg's on the 3.0is too, if you don't mind.
By the way, I am getting 8.2 mpg after 56 miles of driving on the road, and a few miles off the highway.
Cheers :p
Mixed city/highway, but mostly city, usually gets in the mid 13s.
I have 750 miles on mine and I am averaging 13.8 mpg, and it is a 4.8 petrol drinker.
hmm...thats interesting. i hope my mpg 'evolves' to a better one. I drive ferociously, as I fly off the lights, and averages 40-50 miles on the road. I just could not resist the power of the engine roaring before me. I hope that doesn't destroy my mpg.
Only 600 miles so far, but 18.8 mpg in a 3.0si.
18 mpg in a 3.0si with just over 3000 miles.
08 4.8i 3,800 miles, 16.2 MPG (13 around town, 18+/- highway)
hmm.. this is strange. at 90 miles, my 4.8i is giving me 6.4 mpg, dropping it from 8.2 (i havent took the highway since)
is this because it has not break in yet?
Same here, my 4.8 with 40 miles aver. 8.2 street only - kind of crazy. I could imagine when I will start pushing it to 6-7K rpm, it would probably aver. 5-6mpg - no fun :(
I recommend giving your engine some time to break in...I no longer have my X5 (an 04 4.4) but the mileage improved considerably once I got over 1000 miles on the odometer.
My lifetime average on the 04 (I never reset the second trip computer) was 18.8mpg (combined city/hwy).
The 4.8 in my 650 was somewhat the same....Early mileage really sucked (though not nearly as bad as you report, but there are obvious vehicle differences), and then improved with time. Also, watch your oil usage CLOSELY in the first 1000 miles.
when was 500 miles 11.8mpg in city
now @1500 with an oil changed 13.8mpg in city
hwy around 16-18mpg
i hope this help!
Have a 3.0 and get 20.1 highway.
07 4.8. I drive about 70/30% city/hwy respectively. After 13,000 miles, am averaging 15.3 mpg over the last 1500 miles (~1.5 months).
For you lower-mpg folks, are you driving it in sport? That significantly lowers mpg rating when I do.
I tend to fly off lights and routinely accelerate on the highway (thanks Escort for the radar protection), so I am not light-footing it by any means.
My X5(3.0) with 800 miles is getting 21 mpg. taking it easy and mostly county driving.
1,611 miles and my wife (a lot more gentle with the gas petal than I) averages about 12.1 miles. she usually drives the kids to school and to the mall. We have not gone in a road trip yet.
08 4.8 9700 miles.
Highest was about 18.1 on a trip.
Combined driving at about 55% highway, 45% city is about 15.8.
3200 miles so far, with 19.1 mpg in a 3.0si. About 50-50 highway and city.
Wow, I'm getting 19.5mpg city in my 2007 X3 auto, sounds like the X5 is almost the same. I get 22mpg highway going about 75-80mph. Damn, I should be driving an X5!
With fuel prices, and BMWFS financial woes, V8 SUV's will take a resale bath. Be sure you are leasing. :thumbup:
By the end of the year we should start seeing the X5 diesel which will get around 25MPG.
just came back from vacation house 125 miles away, with 22.6mpg from house to house. x5 4.8 with 400miles :), the only thing - very very light on a gas with speed 65 max, most of rpm in 1500-2100 range :):thumbup:
its all up/down, and yes I was using Nutral on down hill on the same road my X3 getting 23.8, and 530i(255hp) 35.0mpg :)
i get 19 / 19.5 at 80 mph with all interstate driving. (1200 mile roundtrip) the 4.8 is very throttle sensitive to mpgs. i don't doubt methodical throttle application at 65 mph might yield 21 mpg or so on a leg of interstate travel.
Of course wind direction plays a big role in mileage. On a state 2 lane highway at 63 mph I recently got 25.7 on my 08 3.0 with a tailwind of 15 or so. Headed back the other way I got 21.3

Rubella -- United States, 1979-1982
A record low number of 2,077 rubella cases was reported in the United States for 1981. This was a 47% decline from the 1980 total of 3,904 cases (the previous record low) and an 82% decline from the 1979 total of 11,795 cases. During the first 38 weeks of 1982 (ending September 25), 2,018 cases were reported--a 13% increase from the number of cases reported during the same period in 1981 (Figure 1). This increase was due to a three-fold increase in reported cases from California from 445 cases during the first 38 weeks of 1981 to 1,319 cases during the same period in 1982. Reported cases of rubella from all other states declined by 52% during the first 38 weeks of 1982 as compared with the first 38 weeks of 1981.
The National Congenital Rubella Syndrome Registry (NCRSR) maintained at the Immunization Division, CDC, collects detailed data on clinical signs and laboratory test results on patients reported with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). Reports of CRS are voluntarily submitted to CDC from local and state health departments. Specific criteria are used for classifying patient data submitted to the NCRSR (1).* *Confirmed cases are those with defects compatible with CRS, and with laboratory confirmation of disease. Compatible cases are those with defects compatible with CSR, but without laboratory confirmation.
Since 1979, the annual provisional total of both confirmed and compatible CRS cases has declined from 53 in 1979 to 17 in 1980 to five in 1981.** This decrease in reported confirmed and compatible CRS cases correlates with the decline in the reported incidence rate of rubella among women of childbearing age.
Age-specific data were available for 1,674 (81%) of the cases reported for 1981. The age-specific incidence rates of rubella have continued to decline for all age groups over the past 3 years. The greatest decline between 1980 and 1981 occurred in the 15- to 19- and 20- to 24-year-old age groups (Table 3), an occurrence first reported in 1980. In 1978 and 1979, 74% of the reported rubella cases were among persons greater than or equal to 15 years old, and the highest rate was in the 15- to 19-year-old age group. In 1981, however, only 37% of the cases were reported among persons greater than or equal to 15 years old, and the highest rate occurred among the 5-year-olds. In 1981, for the first time since age-specific reporting was instituted on a national basis in 1975, the rate among schoolage children 5-9 years old significantly exceeded the rate in 15- to 19-year-olds. Reported by Immunization Br, Center for Prevention Svcs, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The initial recommendation of the Public Health Service Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP) for rubella control was to vaccinate preschool and elementary school children of both sexes; vaccination of older individuals received only secondary emphasis. This approach caused a dramatic decline in rubella incidence and eliminated the characteristic 6-\to 9-year cycle of epidemic rubella (2). It also resulted in a marked change in the age characteristics for reported rubella patients. **Cases in the CRS registry are reported by date of birth. Data are reported as provisional until at least 3 years have elapsed since year of birth. Data from 73 of the most recent reports with known date of birth and date of report showed that 64 (88%) cases were reported within the first year after birth.
The 1981 and 1982 surveillance data, excluding California, (cases from California generally involved adults in outbreaks at hospitals, universities, and places of employment) continue to show a steady decline in reported cases of rubella to record low levels. Some of this decrease may be due to the Childhood Immunization Initiative that began in 1977, the goal of which was to achieve and maintain immunization levels in excess of 90% for all childhood vaccine-preventable diseases including rubella. Assessment of rubella immunization levels of 3.4 million children entering school (kindergarten and 1st grade) in the 50 states and the District of Columbia showed a level of 96% for the 1981-1982 school year. To ensure continued high immunity levels, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have enacted and enforced rubella-immunization requirements for school entry. The Measles Elimination Initiative, begun in 1978, has also had a major impact on the reduction of rubella incidence, since most of the measles vaccine administered during this program has been given as MMR (combined measles, mumps, rubella vaccine) or MR (combined measles, rubella vaccine). Approximately 75% of the measles vaccine administered in the public sector has been MMR or MR vaccine.
Before rubella vaccine became available in 1969, most reported rubella cases occurred among children 15 years of age. The initial rubella control policy lowered the attack rates for all age groups, but with proportionately greater declines in the 15-year age group. Data on age-specific incidence rates for 1981 show that rates for adolescents and young adults are now lower than those for young children. The greater recent decrease in rubella incidence among adolescents and young adults probably resulted because 1) young children targeted for vaccination during 1969 and the early 1970s have moved into older age groups, and 2) efforts have increased over the past 3-4 years to vaccinate the remaining susceptible adolescents and young adults. In the 5-year age group, 287 (46%) of the 626 reported cases were 1 year of age and thus below the earliest recommended age for vaccination.
Increased efforts to vaccinate adolescents and young adults were prompted by continued reporting of 27-59 cases of CRS per year from 1971 through 1979 (2) and by the knowledge that 10%-25% of adolescents and adults were susceptible to rubella (3-5). In the public sector, where between 40% and 50% of the rubella vaccine is distributed and administered, increasing numbers of doses were given to persons greater than or equal to 15 years of age between 1979 and 1981; 234,000 doses were given in 1979, 325,000 in 1980, and 333,000 in 1981.
The current strategy for rubella control is to vaccinate 1) all infants at approximately 15 months of age in combination with measles and mumps vaccine; 2) all schoolchildren who were not vaccinated in infancy; and 3) susceptible individuals who have left high school, particularly females of childbearing age, military personnel, students and employees of educational and training institutions (such as colleges and universities), and health personnel of both sexes (6).

To the Editor:
It seems that most of the news is about sequestration. I believe the amount they are arguing about is $85 billion.
My question is, why do we give the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt $250 billion? That would cover the $85 billion shortage and pay off a fair chunk of our national debt.
Why are we borrowing billions and then give it away to people who hate us? Why? I have not heard a single politician mention this terrible waste of money.
I think the public should wake up and demand that the elected politicians do their job and sworn oath of office or get rid of them. I for one will not vote for anyone who does not even mention this great theft that is being set up for our grandchildren to pay.
I pray that the American public will wake up and get rid of the trash that is not doing the job we elected them to do.

Section 3: Guiding Students Through the Plan
Relating to Students
Some of the most useful advice a student can receive from the advising relationship is that which you relate to the student about yourself. Being able to speak from a personal real-life experience is a powerful way to enlighten students to the many possible paths their lives and careers can take. Whenever possible, you may want to relate, in a professional manner, personal experiences with making academic and career decisions. Such experiences can serve as examples to show students how choices made at the undergraduate level can influence career development. This is not meant to imply that every student should be encouraged to follow in the footsteps of the advisor. However, it is often true that a student can benefit from a glimpse of what types of decisions brought you to be the successful professional you are today.

Mr O'Brien, who is due to take the helm when
He is due to return on Monday and will no doubt be bombarded with requests from investors and brokers keen to learn more about the man who will lead Australia's largest retailer for the next few years.
While the appointment of Mr O'Brien has been portrayed as a conservative choice for Woolworths, brokers nonetheless believe the move is likely to lead to a period of volatility for the company.
Woolworths shares fell 16¢ to $26.79 yesterday, taking losses this week to 35¢.
UBS analyst Ben Gilbert said Mr O'Brien might initiate a strategy review of Woolworths' supermarkets business, which has lost sales and earnings growth momentum in the face of increased competition from Coles and low food price inflation.
"We expect a new CEO will look to revitalise the business through a more pro-active approach to communicating with the consumer on price, quality and service," Mr Gilbert said
JPMorgan analyst Shaun Cousins said there was potential for a change in the culture at Woolworths and a shift in its operational approach to addressing the turnaround at Coles.
"We believe there have been signs that Woolworths has underestimated the improvement at Coles and may not have competed as effectively against Coles over the past 12 to 24 months," Mr Cousins said.
Macquarie Equities analyst Greg Dring said Mr Luscombe was retiring at a time Woolworths' food and liquor business was perceived to be the "weaker player" in the Australian supermarket duopoly, despite its superior sales and earnings. "Woolworths' ability to deal with competition is being questioned by the market," Mr Dring said.
He said Woolworths was a process-driven organisation and its values were cemented in its corporate DNA.
"While the business model won't change, strategies for dealing with competition could," Mr Dring said.
Macquarie also expected Mr O'Brien to review Woolworths' acquisition strategy and reconsider investments such as Woolworths' 10 per cent stake in New Zealand retailer The Warehouse Group.
However, concerns are growing that Mr O'Brien's nomination may trigger other senior management changes at Woolworths.
Brokers fear Greg Foran, the well-regarded head of food, liquor and petrol who was widely expected to succeed Mr Luscombe, may depart.
Mr Foran, who was identified as possible CEO material several years ago, declined to comment yesterday.
Fund managers say Mr Foran's resume has been circulating in the UK and the US for the past few months and they believe he may have started sounding out job prospects.
Mr Foran has been mentored by former Woolworths CEO Roger Corbett, who is a non-executive director of WalMart.
While there is no retention payment in place, Mr Foran would be subject to a non-compete period of up to 12 months. Mr Foran also stands to exercise more than 132,000 options and rights, worth more than $3.4 million, if he stays for another three years. The next batch of 45,000 options is exercisable in July.
"The risk that Foran could leave following this announcement cannot be ruled out," said Mr Cousins.
"If Foran continues on with his current role . . . we believe this would be a positive for Woolworths as continuity will help Woolworths in competing against Coles."
Citigroup analyst Craig Woolford said the appointment of Mr O'Brien, who has worked in a variety of roles at Woolworths over 24 years, was a clear sign that the retailer would continue balancing sales and margins to maximise earnings.
It also reflected the importance of the home improvement strategy. Woolworths plans to open at least 150 home improvement stores, starting in the first quarter of 2012.

At CPAC, Dick Morris Says He Will "Probably" Return To Fox
Blog ››› ››› JOE STRUPP
Former Fox News commentator Dick Morris says he still "love[s]" the network and expects to return to its airwaves.
In February Fox confirmed that it had declined to renew Morris' contract. The network had benched him from bookings for several months following his repeated on-air prediction of a Mitt Romney "landslide" in the days leading up to Romney's defeat.
During a March 14 appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) just south of Washington, D.C., Morris told Media Matters, "I love Fox, you know. You come and you go in this business, I'll come again."
Asked if he thought he would return to the network in the future, Morris said, "Sure, probably."
Morris told CNN's Piers Morgan on February 6 that "Fox has given me the opportunity of a lifetime. Fifteen years, 3,000 interviews. And at some point a great marriage has to come to an end."
He added, "The divorce -- the divorce isn't final, but I am seeing other people."
During his CPAC speech Morris announced that he will begin hosting an afternoon talk radio show on Philadelphia's 1210 WPHT in April.

Impressions: Final Reflections
on the Lamm LP2 Deluxe Phono Preamplifier
[All photographs and image processing by Robinson, unless otherwise noted; cartoon by Daniel Zimmerman.]
The Lamm LP2 Phono Preamplifier on the Critical Mass Systems Black Platinum PXK Direct Coupling System.
In medias res…
"Sherman, set the Wayback machine for 2008…"
Yep, that'll do it. Over the event horizon, and down into the gravity well where some of my best good intentions have ended up over the years. You know: right there next to various writing and editing projects, my oft-deferred book (main body done; excise the garbage phase underway, while my publisher waits patiently), tons of photographic work, mountains of music to listen to, teaching to be done, and… oh yes… other review projects. Back over there and then is where my notes about the Lamm LP2 have been blammoed since my move to Virginia—and then my quick move back when the US economy apparently decided that it should jump over the event horizon into a black hole, too.
Five months out and back, ending up where I started, thanks to an over-leveraged economy and some right folks-who-were-probably-spawned-illegitimately and who apparently have neither clue nor conscience. (I suspect that some souls got lost along the way, as well.) It's been a ride, that's for sure, but the whole episode left a giant hole in the rhythm of my writing, as I've had to piece together a whole new way of making a living by teaching hither and yon at the university level. Slow but sure, and over a year in the making so far.
Not to bleat at you… very many have it far worse than I do…but just to explain why these notes skidded to the sidelines. I was able to give the Lamm LP2 a belated Brutus Award for 2008 right after I returned to Oregon (February, 2009; see my initial comments in PFO Issue 41, at http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue41/brutus_awards.htm). Apart from that, the convergence of time and energy wasn't to be found.
Until now, that is. It's time to share some final reflections about this very fine phono preamp with you…
Associated system
At the time, the Lamm LP2 was part of a review project that included some stellar components. The turntable was the Continuum Criterion turntable with the Copperhead tonearm. At the originating end of the line was the Air Tight PC-1 MC cartridge feeding the Lamm LP2 Phono Preamp, which then cascaded to the superb mbl 6010D reference preamp. This, in turn, spilled over into a pair of mbl 9008 stereo amps running in monoblock mode, and from thence into a pair of mbl 101E Radialstrahler omni-directional speakers.
The mbl 9008 amplifers and the 101 Radialstrahlers used with the Lamm LP2 Deluxe.
One would expect the synergy of the mbl system to be excellent, and it was. As I noted in my separate 2008 Brutus Awards for mbl (also in Issue 41; see http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue41/brutus_awards.htm):
The only component that wasn't mbl in this chain for LP playback was the Lamm LP2. In fact, you can think of these reflections as a final meditation on the LP2—a sort of "Part 2" of my long commentary on the Continuum Criterion that I published in Issue 45 (see http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue45/continuum.htm). I do this from the perspective of currently having the Criterion turntable and Copperhead tonearm in for a return visit, this time equipped with the brilliant Ortofon A-90 MC and coupled with the exceptional darTZeel phono amp section in their NHB-18NS preamp. This has given me a broader feel for the virtues of the Lamm LP2 Deluxe.
Notes follow.
Lamm LP2 Deluxe Description
The Lamm LP2 (photograph courtesy of Lamm Industries, Inc.)
The LP2 Deluxe is a dual-mono vacuum tube phono preamp, operating in single-ended, pure Class A mode. The tube complement is composed of two sets of 417A and 5842 tubes per channel. There is no loop feedback employed in the circuitry. Lamm states that the LP2 uses a highly accurate passive RIAA EQ network to provide proper playback of RIAA LPs.
Physically, the front of the LP2 has a pair of hoist handles, and a red LED to indicate that the power is on; otherwise, there are no switches or other indicators. There are two pairs of gold-plated RCA inputs on the back of the LP2, one for MC and one for MM; note that these are non-inverting of phase from front to back. Gain is specified at 57.5dB for MC, and 37.65 for MM. Input impedance is 400 Ohms for MC, and 47kOhms for MM. Unlike some more flexible phono amps with front panel controls for switchable parameters, the LP2 Deluxe does not have variable loading or volume control. The LP2 Deluxe does have an input/sensitivity switch for each channel to toggle from MC to MM. The power supply storage for the regular version of the LP2 is 125 Joules; for the deluxe version (reviewed here), the rating is 150 Joules. The rear panel also has a grounding post for earth, and a separate grounding post for the feed from the turntable. A helpful feature in the LP2 Deluxe is its auto-muting function, which immediately applies mute to power-on, power-off, and AC drop. Not every phono amp is this intelligent.

Internally, the LP2 Deluxe has mil-spec circuit boards, with very tough construction. No thin and crummy foundation here; Lamm is using some serious green board, as should be.
Interior of the Lamm LP2, from above (photograph courtesy of Lamm Industries, Inc.)
The power supply is internally switchable for 100/120/220/230/240 Volts AC, with +/- 10% allowance.
Lamm claims that all LP2's are burned-in at the factory for a minimum of 72 hours, though they recommend a further 200 hours by the end-user. Warm-up time is specified at a minimum of 45 minutes; me, I never turned it off. Its power consumption of 70 Watts was an acceptable exchange for being ready for vinyl at all times; you may make a different decision, of course.
The LP2 Deluxe has some important upgrades over the standard model. Not only is the power storage increased from 125 to 150 Joules, but also all capacitors in the signal path are bypassed with high quality polystyrene caps, and significant damping is applied to the chassis panel to neutralize vibration. There must be quite a lot of damping involved; the LP2 Deluxe is a heavy customer! The regular version specs at 22 pounds, while the Deluxe tips the balance beam at nearly 42 pounds. I certainly found the unit to be very inert while I was handling and tapping it… very solid. But be careful when moving the LP2 Deluxe; drop this one, and whatever is underneath (your floor, your foot, the local Fido) is at serious risk.

The Sound
As I cited earlier, I commented on the signal chains in which I got to hear the LP2 Deluxe back in Issue 41. The path was made up of the Air Tight PC-1 MC cartridge à Continuum Copperhead à Continuum Criterion (on Finite Elemente Pagoda Master Reference Rack) à Lamm LP2 Deluxe Phono Amp (on first the Critical Mass Systems Black Label Grand Master Stand, followed by the Critical Mass Systems PXK Rack System) à mbl 6010D reference preamp à pair of mbl 9008 stereo amps in monoblock dual power cord mode à mbl 101E Radialstahler omni-directional speakers. Power conditioning on the source side was provided by a Walker Audio Velocitor; the amplification (2x2 power cords, all Silent Source) was directly plugged into two separate 20 Amp dedicated circuits. (For all other details, see my review in Issue 41.)
The gorgeous mbl 6010D reference preamplifier, which took the signal from the Lamm LP2 Deluxe: it sounds every bit as good as it looks!
As I mentioned in my major review of the Continuum/mbl/Lamm system back in Issue 45, (see http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue45/continuum.htm) I tossed a ton of favorite LPs at the LP2 Deluxe. Classic MoFi's including the Beatles, the Stones, Frank Sinatra, and some of their Anadisq 200+ gram LPs; Analogue Productions reissues; some of my DCC Compact Classic LPs; various Classic Records reissues; and even some test pressings and vintage stuff ranging all the way back to the '60s. Over time, I got something of a feel for what the LP2 Deluxe was doing, particularly as I've since had a chance to revisit the Criterion/Copperhead combination with the Ortofon A-90 and the darTZeel NHB-18NS preamp and MC phono section.

"Wait a minute! Apples and oranges! No fair!" I can hear it already.
And if that's you, you'd be right…but maybe not completely. I've spent very significant time with darTZeel before, and again now, and think that I have a sense of the flavor of that family of components. (My comments on this time around with darTZeel will be published later in the year.) There is a distinctive feel to the Lamm components that I've heard thus far, and I'd like to isolate it if I can.
Before that, however, here are some basic observations. The LP2 Deluxe is quiet. As in, no hiss, hum, or other annoying artifacts at any reasonable playback level. I carefully took the mbl 6010D to scary volume levels with nothing on the Criterion turntable. No nasties; no hiss to be heard, and that was with nearly 500 Watts per channel via the pair of mbl 9008 monoblocks. I adjudged the Lamm LP2 Deluxe to be exceptional in this regard, which agrees experientially with their published noise specs of "better than 88dB," A weighted.
The gain of the LP2 Deluxe (57.5dB published spec) was well mated with the Air Tight PC-1's robust output of 0.6mV, providing all the volume that any sane person would want. Ultra-low output MCs (<0.30mV) might want to check the rest of the system before proceeding, however; as always, factors like the type of music and volume levels preferred, the length of interconnects, the quality of the amplifier-speaker interface, and the efficiency of the loudspeakers should be considered. 57.5dB gain is good, but might be marginal with flea-output MCs. Overall, there were no problems driving the signal from the LP2 Deluxe to the mbl 6010 line section via a one-meter pair of JENA Labs symphony interconnect cables.
In good company: the Lamm LP2 Deluxe on the Critical Mass Systems PXK Rack with the EMM Labs CDSD SE transport and DCC2 SE preamp/DAC.
As I've reflected upon the sound of the Lamm LP2 Deluxe in contrast with the darTZeel phono section in the NHB-18NS preamp (which is different in feel), I believe I've found a common denominator between the sound of the Lamm LP2 with the sonic signature of the Lamm M1.2 reference monoblocks. (For my notes on these, see PFO Issue 34 at http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue34/lamm_1.2.htm.) Like its amplifying brethren, the LP2 Deluxe seems to impart just a kiss, just a touch of warmth to LP playback. No euphony… nothing sappy, syrupy or overly saccharine… just a lovely resonance that I find to be irresistible. Like the M1.2 reference monoblocks, it brought out a harmonic richness in the Criterion/Copperhead/PC-1 combination. There was a velvety tone to strings that was quite welcome at all times. The Classic Records reissue of the RCA Scheherazade, a long-standing reference in these parts, was alluring instead of steely. Nick Drake's reissue LPs (Five Leaves Left, Bryter Later, and Pink Moon, all lovely treasures), had the feel of real presence, combining tonal warmth with precision in rendering the detail of Drake's marvelous finger-picking. "River Man," "Pink Moon," and "Cello Song" all touched my heart, as well as my ears.
The very fine Air tight PC-1 groove glides to feed the Lamm LP2 Deluxe. Ink-outline variant processing by Robinson.
On the other hand, the LP2 was dynamic and punchy when needed. The reissue of Glory sounded magnificent, with the percussives of the vintage-type sheepskin drumheads causing no overload at all to Lamm, and the boys' choir bringing visions of heaven. Likewise the Classic Records reissue of Witches Brew pushed the limits of analog without breaking the envelope; there was no glassing up of orchestral climaxes, just the delivery of the music with aplomb. Ditto my EP reissue of Louis Armstrong's dynamite "St. James Infirmary": my, oh my! (Thanks again to Positive Feedback audiobud and long-time friend for bringing this recording to my attention… I owe you one, amigo!)
The soundstaging and imaging delivered via the mbl/Lamm synergy was exceptional. The mbl 101D Radialstrahler omnidirectional speakers were unbelievable in their ability to project a powerful sense of three dimensionality in my listening room, and would have been merciless on any upstream source that could not deliver the goods. One of my acid tests for LP playback in this regard is my Alto reissue box set of the Ataulfo Argenta Edition. The LP of the Concierto de Aranjuez and Noches en los Jardines de España are brilliant performances, recorded in such a way that the richness and sense of space in the hall is hauntingly portrayed when played back in a reference-grade system.
I should note in passing that the above final reflections are based upon what I heard with the LP2 Deluxe in its final resting place, the top shelf of Joe Lavrencik's exceptional Critical Mass Systems PXK Rack. If you don't think that state-of-the-art equipment racks make a difference…think again! And don't put the LP2 Deluxe on a junk rack; it will not be happy.
In conclusion, what to say?
Overall, I can say that Lamm's published specifications, which are encyclopedic, and set a standard for completeness that I wish other fine audio companies would emulate, matched what I was hearing while listening through the LP2 Deluxe. I would have expected a phono amp that was nearly silent in its noise floor, rich, dynamic, with plenty of gain for my LPs even with lower output MCs. In no wise was I disappointed, even with the LP2 Deluxe strapped into accompanying equipment that would have tipped the financial balance beam at over $150,000. The Continuum Criterion is one of the most stable and linear turntables on the planet…and I could hear that plainly. Through it all, the Lamm LP2 Deluxe simply sat their quietly, and always provided exceptional signal for all the LPs that passed through. Very, very impressive.
There's simply no doubt that the combination of mbl plus Lamm's LP2 Deluxe phono amp constituting the playback chain in my listening room was one of the best that I've heard in nearly 25 years of listening. In every aspect, I found the Lamm LP2 Deluxe phono amp to be unforgettable.
In fact, I am still remembering it with pleasure two years later; take that retrospective perspective for what it's worth.
If you are looking for a world-class phono amp, one that will never leave you high and dry, you really ought to give very serious consideration to the Lamm LP2 Deluxe. It's one of the best, richly meriting its Brutus Award, and Ye Olde Editor's "Highest Recommendation!"

Eric Church Declares War On Ticket Scalpers
Eric Church has had it with ticket scalpers buying up hundreds of tickets to his shows and he's doing something about it.
When Church learned that more than 900 tickets to his nearly sold-out September 16th show in Minneapolis were bought by scalpers, he cancelled those 900 tickets and put them back into the system for sale to his fans. He says, "I want my fans to be the ones who buy tickets to my shows, and I want scalpers to back off. I can't stop ticket scalpers completely, but I can definitely make it harder for them."
The Outsiders World Tour hits the road on September 11th in Louisiana. Eric Church has Dwight Yoakam as his special guest for all shows.

Apple seems to be only selling the 4x DVD-R discs and that's no good since my drive will only write at 1x on that media. I can't find Apple 2x media anywhere. Other vendors are also doing away with 2x DVD-R media it seems. All in all, it seems that 2x media is hard to find and 6 months from now probably impossible. So I'm stuck writing at 1x?

To begin the month of October, John gave us his ideas on the All-Time Timberwolves 1st & 2nd Teams. Next, we revisited last year's Timberwolves beard contest and John gave us a synopsis of the beginning of Timberwolves 2012 training camp.
Rumors began surfacing that Kevin Love was unhappy with the result of last season's contract negotiations and would have rather preferred getting a 5-year max contract extension as opposed to the 4-year deal he received. For fun, we looked back on the botched high five hit on YouTube between former T-wolf Wes Johnson and Kevin Love.
In a miserable turn of events, Kevin Love broke his wrist doing knuckle push-ups with the initial prognosis being 6-8 weeks of missed games.
We also looked at the newest Timbertrolls video and how Kevin Love and Larry Fitzgerald teamed up to raise awareness for Breast Cancer Awareness month. I contributed to a NBA and Timberwolves round-table season preview post to our friends over at STOB Blog.
John gave his thoughts on where the Timberwolves stand in the Western Conference in his 2012-13 Western Conference Preview. We even went over the remarkably absurd news of Troy Hudson getting a comeback opportunity from the Timberwolves. Finally, we reviewed the Timberpups poll results for the month which gave indication that Andrei Kirilenko was the biggest offseason addition.

JUST seven letters.
Seven letters on a memorial which has the names of 73, 367 men who went missing during The Battle of The Somme during World War One.
Irish G.F. is etched on the Thiepval Memorial to mark the sacrifice of Redditch war hero George Frederick Irish.
The whereabouts of his body will always remain unknown but he is remembered in a French field which will forever be a part of England.
The Somme was the scene of the blackest day in British military history with 60,000 lost in one day - July 1, 1916.
Generals had told their men to calmly walk across no-man's-land as they believed a giant bombardment of German lines had destroyed the enemy.
However, despite the biggest bombardment of explosives in human history the Germans were not dead but waiting with machine guns due the misdirection of the shells. The advancing men never stood a chance.
This set the tone for the rest of the battle which raged over the next two years.
Earlier that year George enlisted in Worcester for the Gloucestershire Regiment and given the number 027465.
Aged just 23 he arrived at The Somme weeks after July 1, 1916.
The private would have been given his "trench orders" booklet which detailed the dos and don'ts of military life on the Western Front.
These included how much rum he could drink, how to keep his rifle clean and the recommended ways to go to the toilet in the trenches.
Unlike the majority of the soldiers he was fighting with George was already hailed as a hero.
A selfless act of bravery in his native Redditch in 1913 meant he would always be hero in his hometown.
A young boy William Browning had fallen down a 14ft sewer near Holyoake's Field First School.
George saved the boy and was presented the Albert Medal by King George V.
But amid the industrial slaughter of The Somme, where over one million men would be killed or wounded, George's individual bravery would count for nothing.
Weeks after arriving on the Western Front George died during a vicious bombardment by German artillery in August, 1916.
His body was never recovered.
The saddest aspect of the life and death of George was he not even supposed to be on the front.
As a coal merchant he worked in a reserved occupation which meant he was needed on the home front during WW1.
However, his uncle failed to fill out the right paperwork and George was sent to a war he would never return from.
Irish G.F. is just one name on the Thievpal Memorial. A breathtaking 45 metre architectural masterpiece nestled amid trees in the countryside where so many died for so little.
Not far from Thievpal at Beaumont-Hamel the zig-zagging trench positions and no-man's-land have been saved for history.
Canada bought the land in which a huge amount of Newfoundland soldiers were killed, in one day 700 men went over the top and just 68 returned. Now, nature has taken its course and the pot-marked land is now beautiful parkland and you can walk in five minutes what cost Allied troops months and thousands of deaths to conquer.
Seeing the size of the craters and the damage the countless shells did to the landscape it is not hard to understand why the bodies of so many men, like George, were never found.
If you are ever in this part of the world George's name is not hard to find.
Just look for the Gloucestershire Regiment's roll call of its dead at the rear of the Thiepval Memorial.
Then follow the names alphabetically until you find those seven letters - Irish G.F.
And say a prayer for the Redditch hero who should never be forgotten.

The video recorded the conversation (3/13/2011) among Fukushima plant and Tepco's headquarters before the explosion of reactor3.
It's showing they didn't even have cash to buy car batteries to move the valve. When they finally got the cash, all the shops were already closed. Tepco was looking for the batteries at a do-it-yourself store.
The video was broadcast on Hodo station of TV asahi. The narration was added by them below.

A Road to Damascus, published by Tamyras, is available in Beirut starting June 15.
This is a class workshop from the Craft of Cinematography, where my students adapted a scene from the Silver Linings Playbook screenplay (David O. Russell, 2012). They created a shotlist and lighting plan from scratch without reference to the original movie.
From the course syllabus:
The course advances a fundamental understanding of composition as a storytelling act, rather than simply an aesthetic one. It then combines that with lighting to build character and create mood. Throughout, proper set protocol and crew dynamics are practiced and instilled as the third learning outcome.
The Craft of Cinematography was taught during Spring 2013 to selected students from the Mohammed Bin Rashid School for Communication at the American University in Dubai.


text: 7. Nelson Calendula Cream Why we love it: I have many dry skin products cluttering my medicine cabinet, desk drawer and bedside table, but this one's a standout. I used it on my itchy, dry, peeling face after I suffered an allergic reaction, and it cleared up my skin within two days. The active ingredient is calendula (marigold), a homeopathic remedy that's been used for centuries for its antiseptic and healing qualities. I now have tubes in my gardening bag (to help heal my rough, garden-grubby hands) and in my purse. Where to find it: $6.79 for a 1.7-oz tube at Drugstore.com; also available at Whole Foods. — Vani Rangachar8. Carmex Lip Balm Why we love it: Ahh, the smooth tingle of Carmex makes this lip balm an oldie but goodie. No matter how many new lip glosses I try – tinted, flavored, plumping, healing – Carmex waits at the bottom of my handbag for my inevitable return. It heals chapped lips, conditions healthy lips and adds an extra shine when smoothed on over lipstick. Plus, Carmex is all-natural and gluten-free. It comes in multiple flavors and applications, but I like the original formula in the vintage jar with its signature yellow top.Where to find it: $2.49 for a half an ounce jar at most drugstores and Drugstore.com.— Shanna Thompson

Aberdeen crash out of Europa League in loss to Maribor
A bizarre Graeme Shinnie own goal killed off 10-man Aberdeen's Europa League dream as they crashed to a 2-1 aggregate defeat to Maribor.
After a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie, Derek McInnes' team knew they had to score against the Slovenians if they had any hopes of making the play-off round.
But Adam Rooney blew the chance to give them a perfect start when he failed to convert the penalty he had won himself midway through the first half.
To make matters worse, the Reds were forced to play out the final...

29 yr old female considering lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Am I a candidate? Is there an alternative/superior solution? (photos)
Doctor Answers 14
Lower eyelid bags

Options to remove under eye bags
In situations in which there isn't an excessive amount of fat a great option is to improve the lower eyelid volume which ends up better covering the normal existing eyelid fat.
In some people there is both too much eyelid fat and not enough surrounding soft tissue coverage. In these cases a plan involving a combined approach in which a lower eyelid blepharoplasty is done to remove some excess fat along with facial fat grafting to better fill in the deficient areas of the lower eyelid and cheek.
It's hard to say what would be the best approach in your case based off of just your photos. You do have a component of volume loss that could be treated with a soft tissue filler (such as restylane) or facial fat grafting. An in person exam would allow for a better assessment as to whether any excess lower lid fat is present that needs to be removed.
You can check out my web reference below to see a great example of a patient of mine who had her lower eyelid bags treated with facial fat grafting alone (no eyelid fat was removed).

Congenital lower eyelid fat prolapse
Though laser resurfacing can sometimes help in this area to improve the pigment changes, in your case, because of your darker skin tone, it can be more risky.
I've attached photos of a similar anatomic problem in a young patient.

Puffy lower eyelids
Fillers for hollows: I like restylane in the tear trough and this can mask the puffiness that you have and is a reasonable non-surgical options to get some immediate improvement. I have seen this filler last more than eight years in this area. I don't think permanent (Artefill) or semi-permanent fillers are as safe in this region (search sculptra on realself).
Surgery: Transfer of the fat (incision hidden on the inside of the lower lid) from the puffy area into the hollow tear trough area is a procedure with a very high likelyhood of solving your concerns based on your photos (the variety of angles really helps give us some clues about how this looks in 3D). It is my experience that this procedure is highly successful with minimal risk especially if performed by someone who does alot of these procedures around the eyes. An oculofacial plastic surgeon would be an excellent choice.
Laser: Resurfacing of the skin in this area can help reduce or get rid of wrinkles and sometime improve the darkening (hyperpigmentation) of the skin. The skin may be hyperpigmented for a short time in the early post operative period. This is generally easily managed with topical medication.
Botox: Neurotoxins such as Botox are generally fabulous at controlling wrinkling around the eyes. These can be used alone or in combination with other therapies. I tell patients not to have botox beneath the eye when they have lower lid puffiness until the fat herniation has been surgically managed or the botox may actually make that area look worse.
As you can see. Multimodal therapy directed at each of the individual problems can give patients a very natural improvement of the facial features they are unhappy with right now.
Lower eyelid blepharoplasty with fat repositioning looks like a good surgical alternatives.

29 yr old female considering lower eyelid blepharoplasty. Am I a candidate? Is there an alternative/superior solution?
Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on limited 2 dimensional photos without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Options for Improving Tired Lower Eyelids
In your case, you would be an excellent candidate for a surgical lower eyelid lift or treatment with injectable fillers depending on your goals and expectations. A consultation with an experienced eyelid surgeon should help you find a treatment that is right for you.

Subject: [NEWBERRY-L] John Josiah Newberry
Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 23:03:18 EDT
With the risk of repeating already published info, some may find the
following of some interest.The text below comes from a photocopy of what
appears to be a newspaper article with a photograph of John Josiah Newberry
and a photo of a store-front with a 1950-ish car parked in front. The store
is named "J.J. Newberry Co. 5-10-25c Store":
"Born in Sunbury, PA, September 26, 1877, Newberry was educated in the public
schools. His first job was as a messenger for the Pennsylvania Railroad in
Wilkes-Barre, Pa. In 1894 he went to work for a department store, Fowler,
Dick and Walker.
In 1899 he joined S. H. Kress and Company and, after twelve years with the
company, occupied a buyer's desk.
He resigned due to illness, and on December 26, 1911, opened the first J.J.
Newberry Store in Stroudsburg, Pa.
J.J. Newberry served as buyer, manager, floor-walker, salesclerk, and
stockman in his first store, a single-minded dedication to duty that produced
profits to finance the opening of a second store after just a year and a half
of operation. By 1918, he was operating seven stores.
During the same period his brother, C.T. Newberry, was superindendent of
buyers with F.W. Woolworth Company.
In 1919 the brothers joined forces in the Newberry stores. A third brother,
Edgar A. Newberry joined the company as a stock clerk in Shamokin, Pa. in the
same year, following his discharge from the U.S. Army. By the end of 1919
there were 17 stores in the chain with annual sales of $500,000.
The company was incorporated in 1923. Acquisitions included the Hested stores
in Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado, and Nebraska, and Lee Stores in South
Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. On the death of C.T. Newberry in 1939, J.J.
Newberry became chairman of the board and his younger brother Edgar assumed
the presidency, a post he retained until 1953 when he, in turn, advanced to
the chairmanship.
By 1961 the company was operating 565 stores with annual sales of

BERLIN (AP) Google has appealed two court decisions that could ban it and other search engines from operating image searches in Germany, a spokesman for the Internet giant said Thursday.
Last month a district court in Hamburg ruled in favor of two men who claim search engines that pull pictures from their Web sites infringe on their copyrights.
The complaints lodged by Michael Bernhard, a photographer, and Thomas Horn, who owns the rights to several frames of a comic called "Psykoman," resulted in a ruling that could oblige Google and three other search engines to stop displaying images -- or gain permission to display each copyrighted picture.
"We are really disappointed about the ruling," said Kay Oberbeck, a spokesman for Google in Germany. "We believe Google Image Search is entirely legal."
Oberbeck said other European courts have supported Google's right to display thumbnail images from other Web sites as search results.
He added that concerned Web site managers could also employ software to block images or text from being picked up by a search engine.
"Google doesn't profit from Google Image Search," Oberbeck said. "It's the thousands of Web sites that make a profit on being found through searches that would be hurt."
Google and the other search engine operators named in the ruling -- Deutsche Telekom, Freenet.de and AOL Germany -- can continue to run image searches in Germany while the appeals are pending. Freenet.de also planned to appeal.
No date has been set for the Hamburg appeals court to hear the cases.

Neon Stripe Cowl by Lion Brand Yarn
Welcome! You are browsing as a guestWould you like to see 2 projects made from this pattern and much more? create a free account What am I missing?
© Lion Brand Yarn
Neon Stripe Cowl
This pattern is available for free.
Lion Brand Pattern #: L20639
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner
Hometown USA® (Article #135)
2 colors, 1 ball each
Shown in Los Angeles Tan & Neon Orange
Crochet Hook - Size P-15 (10 mm)
Worked in the round in single crochet and double crochet.
Design features contrast color edge.
Lion Brand Notes:
The Cowl is worked in the round, but begins with a foundation row. The foundation row is an easy way to begin a piece that will be worked in the round because you do not have to worry about twisting the chain when you join the ends.
Very similar to Yorkshire Cowl / Openwork Crocheted Cowl. However, that pattern does not begin with a foundation row before working in the round.

I flashed my tablet with S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] v3.0 and choose wrong version Sony Xperia Tab S JB 4.1.1 instead of Sony Tablet S 4.0.3 R5A
and as you can imagine the install didn't end well, only SONY logo on the screen when booting but the tablet lets me into Android System Recovery 3e, so is there any option to recovery again?
I have tried some for example: info.update.sony.net/ST003/nbx03_011/contents/0010/signed-nbx03_011-ota-120803084.zip installed to SD card and from Recovery menu: Update system from SD card, but it keeps saying: "prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku"
Any solutions or just use it as frisbee on this summer?
Thank you!

It's clear from the trailers and posters for Evolution that director Ivan Reitman wanted to recapture some of the magic that made Ghostbusters, one of his earlier films, one of the most successful comedies of all time. The heroes in his new film do battle with alien lifeforms, rather than supernatural spooks, but otherwise, the mix of carefree humour and oversized special effects, combined with an outrageous product placement at the film's climax, has a familiar feel. Dan Aykroyd even appears in a small role. But there's one major problem with Evolution — it isn't funny.

Julia in Real Life
Earlier this month we showed how President Obama's policies benefit women at all stages of life in an infographic we called "The Life of Julia."
Melissa in Riviera Beach wanted us to know that Julia isn't just a cartoon character though. Here is her story.
My name is Melissa and recently I took a look at The Life of Julia.
I had heard Mitt Romney's comments about how the President had to "come up with a cartoon" to prove his record so I was interested to see it for myself. What I saw was how President Obama's policies would help one woman over her lifetime, and how Mitt Romney would change her story completely.
Then I realized — I really am Julia.
Raised by a single mother on Medicaid, I know how much a good program can help the working class—because it was financial aid that got me through school.
Now, as a mother and as a woman, I have seen the President's programs open up new opportunities for me and my daughters.
Through the affordable housing program, I was able to get a lower fixed-rate for my mortgage—I avoided potential foreclosure because of the President.
Thanks to Obamacare I no longer have to pay for preventive medical exams and screenings, and both my daughters are able to stay on my health insurance plan until they are 26-years old.
Thankfully I didn't have to worry about being able to send them to college anymore, because President Obama boosted Pell Grant funding to help keep school affordable.
I am writing this letter because I would really like for Mitt Romney to know that President Obama actually has a real life Julia.
I am proud to be living the real life story of a successful woman from Anytown, USA, who beat the odds of a life that started from humble beginnings.
In fact, I venture to say there are thousands of us "Julias" of different ethnicities and backgrounds all over the country. Now it's time for us to stand up for President Obama just like he's been standing up for us.
If you're like Melissa—or Julia—join Women for Obama today, and show that you're standing with President Obama this November.

The Twoddler: A Bit Much, Don't You Think?

The Twoddler is just a prototype for now, but it combines a popular kids' crib toy with the social networking service. When the baby performs different actions, they're recorded via Twitter.
The team added photos of the babies' parents to the basic toy, and sent data to Twitter based on what the child is doing. For instance, if the baby plays with the part of the toy close to his mother's face, sensors post a tweet to the effect of, "I miss my mommy." On one hand, it's a different way for parents to keep up with what their children are doing; on the other, it introduces the phenomenon of social networking at a much younger age than most parents would be comfortable with. Not to mention 85 percent of you supported an age restriction on social networks. I'm guessing you'd also agree that if you still sleep in a crib and wear diapers, you're too young to tweet. I'd say maybe best to stick with baby sign language for the basics.

Singapore – September 23, 2015
It is with great respect and appreciation that we today say goodbye to Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez. Mathieu has been with us for more than a year, and has since been a valued member of the team through all its ups and downs.
It is time, however, to look forward and build a lineup that can compete on the highest level, and to that effect we will be bringing in Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom.
« Titan was making a roster change and made me an offer, one which I accepted with enthusiasm. Before Kinguin, I played my whole career with French players and I believe this is where I belong! I'm really excited to start playing with my new teammates! » - Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom
« After one year of great collaboration, my adventure in Titan has come to end. I could not adapt myself quickly enough and find my place in the new line-up. Shox does everything I used to do but he does it better. I truly respect and acknowledge this decision. I will learn from my mistakes, bounce back and come back stronger. I am absolutely not done with professional gaming. Expect to hear from me very soon. Thank you for your endless support. » - Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez
Next up for Titan CS:GO will be DreamHack Open Stockholm September 25th, and we would like to thank G2.Kinguin for making this roster change possible with such short notice.
We wish Mathieu the very best in his future endeavors, and thank him for all his dedication and hard work. For full statements see Maniac's facebook and ScreaM's facebook.
