Welcome to the Jacobs School of Music Historical Performance Institute and Early Music Department!
Since its founding by Thomas Binkley in 1979, the Historical Performance Institute (established as the Early Music Institute) of the Jacobs School of Music has been the pioneering, leading program of its kind in the United States. Its faculty has exerted a defining influence on the profession. Today, the rosters of university faculties and leading period instrument and vocal ensembles are replete with JSoM-HPI alumni that continue to make significant contributions to the field as vocalists and instrumentalists; as soloists, educators, administrators, advocates, and founders of new ensembles and performance organizations.
Historical performance has changed the aesthetic and musical expectations of audiences worldwide, whether they are listening to music composed before 1750, or to repertory extending as far forward as the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Accordingly, our work takes into full account the changes that have ensued since the HPI was first founded.
The field of higher education has also changed radically since the 1970s. Most relevantly for us, higher education has been in a constant process of re-envisioning the frontiers of subject study as well as multi-disciplinary collaboration in the arts and humanities. The Historical Performance Institute has integrated these changes into its new vision by adopting an interdisciplinary strategy: to establish fresh models of research and curriculum development sustainable for the next half century. HPI aims to lead the field in an innovative synthesis of curriculum and performance, driven by original research, and united by faculty drawn from a broad range of specialties.
Our Mission is our Students
The Historical Performance Institute offers students at the Jacobs School of Music the highest standard of instrumental and vocal training along with a thorough grounding in the academic reference tools of the profession – comprehensive theoretical, critical, historiographical and practical skills: to study, to interpret, and to perform period-specific music of the past millennium through to the early twentieth century.
- HPI aims to provide JSoM students with an innovatively configured curriculum that makes a bold contribution to evolving collaborations within the allied arts, humanities and social sciences.
- Appropriately in today's employment market, HPI offers students the tools and knowledge through which to develop an entrepreneurial view of their work, to shape valuable careers that contribute to the profession.
- JSoM Students who minor in historical performance are equipped to deal with issues of performance practice as required in the competitive job market.
- HPI's collection of historical instruments provides JSoM string, keyboard, wind, reed and brass students experience with high-quality, user-friendly historical models. Reflecting changes in the instrument-building trade since the leading conservatory collections were enlarged in the 1960s-80s, the JSoM's projected new ensemble acquisitions will be distinctive, leading a new wave that emphasizes the use of one workshop, creating the best possible ensemble sound.
- HPI's offering of recitals, concerts, opera, symposia, outreach in primary and secondary education; its forthcoming summer conferences, academies and festivals; its series of scholarly publications and recordings; its accessible, unrivalled collection of historical instruments – all of these essential elements – provide an annual rhythm of endeavor that stimulates and nurtures a broad-ranging constituency, regionally, nationally, and internationally.

Green Bay Drops Close Contest at Tennessee Tech
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) scored 18 points and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) added 17 points as Green Bay (3-5) continued its brutal road schedule on Thursday night, but Tennessee Tech (5-3) pulled out a hard-fought 74-68 win in non-conference men's basketball action. Green Bay, currently on a three-game road trip, is in the midst of seven of eight games away from home.
Leading 38-36 at the break despite playing all but 16 minutes without junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.), Green Bay fell behind by nine early in the second half after the Golden Eagles started on an 11-2 lead. The Phoenix still trailed by seven (59-52) with 6:12 to play, but Cougill scored six-straight points and Sykes converted a three-point play as part of a 9-2 run to tie it at 61-61 with 4:10 to play.
After a triple by Lanerryl Johnson, Cougill scored on a layup and Sykes split a pair of free throws to tie it again with 2:59 remaining. The teams traded stops before Sykes cut the margin to two with 52 ticks on the clock. On the other end, Johnson hit a tough layup to make it 70-66, and the Golden Eagles made their last four free throws to win the game.
Sykes made 7-of-13 shots from the field to lead the team with 18 points. Cougill, who hit a buzzer beater to end the first half, was an efficient 7-of-11 from the floor in adding his 17. Brown was limited to just six points in 22 minutes.
Senior Jud Dillard led TTU with 23 points while Johnson added 22 off the bench. The Golden Eagles shot 45.3 percent from the field and knocked down 9-of-21 from long range. Green Bay made 23-of-50 shots from the field (46 percent) but connected on just 4-of-14 three-pointers.
Freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) had another great game on the glass for the Phoenix, grabbing a game-high nine rebounds.
Green Bay will conclude its three-game road trip on Wednesday night at Wisconsin, with tip-off at the Kohl Center set for 8 p.m. The game will be televised live by the Big Ten Network.

Is Chromium the same as Google Chrome?
For some time now I have been using both Google Chrome and Chromium browsers alongside Firefox, Chromium often being the natural choice in Linux while Google Chrome would make it into my work Windows box. I had heard many different arguments as to why it would be best to use one or the other, but I never truly understood what the difference was between them. Considering the Chromium project is open source and feeling close to home in a Linux environment, I thought finding the differences between them would make a good topic for an article.
So, are they the same? Is one browser better than the other for the standard Linux desktop user? Let's start by clarifying what each of them is (excerpts from Wikipedia):
Google Chrome is a web browser developed by Google that uses the WebKit layout engine and application framework.
Chromium is the name given to the open source project and the browser source code released and maintained by the Chromium Project, which results in releases of Google Chrome. Chromium is a project, making all releases developmental, with Chrome being the official release.
These definitions already clarify things a bit, but mostly from a theoretical stand point. What is the actual difference for the Linux desktop user when installing one or the other? To answer this question, there is a convenient comparison table put together by Google in the following PAGE. I will highlight the main differences below:
- Chromium does not support crash reporting nor user metrics, while Google Chrome does. This is obviously no biggie.
- Google Chrome includes H.264, AAC, MP3, Vorbis and Theora plugins by default. Chromium only the last two, which are open source formats. Depending on your needs, this may or may not be an issue.
- Google Chrome includes Adobe Flash plugin by default, while Chromium does not. It can easily get it through a manual download, though.
- Google Chrome includes Adobe PDF support. Under Linux, Chromium should integrate with the on board PDF interpreter (Evince under GNOME, Okular under KDE, etc.)
The rest of differences are mostly minor, perhaps with the exception that Chromium receives less quality assurance testing and its compilations may vary depending on the distro of choice. Some distros release nightly builds that have not been tested.
Long story short, the Linux desktop user should find little to no difference between both browsers. Chromium has quickly become better integrated on the Linux environment, though, and because many distros are building their own custom compilations and adding it to their repositories, it should be most convenient. On top of that, Chromium encourages the use of open source software, which is no small detail.
Which one you choose is up to you, but I would encourage using Chromium if you are a Linux user.

I disagree, Chromium is merely the test bed for Chrome, why not use a finished product. As it stands there is no significant reason, other then minor integration into the OS, that makes a developmental build better then a polished build but there are many reasons not to use one, stability and lack of features being the highest two as well as the APIs are still in a state of flux, what many work today may not work tomorrow.ReplyDelete
I will stick to Chrome.. its just better.
Great blog by the way
Thanks for your comments, Bupahs!ReplyDelete
Of course, it's mostly down to personal taste. I like Chromium for the reasons I explained, but I agree with your argument there, so stick to Chrome if you are happy with it.
In all honesty, both Chrome and Chromium feel a bit "unfinished" to me, that's why I stick to Firefox mostly. I like Chromium's speed, of course, but I hate how it sometimes fails on apparently simple things. Stability is still not 100% there.
chromium is much faster than chrome on my system (opensuse).ReplyDelete
And if all else fails VM with XP and IE 6...ReplyDelete
Personally I prefer stability so its Chrome for me.ReplyDelete
Off topic: Chema, I found some limks you might find interesting.
Detailed security comparison of recent Top Linux distros: http://www.chineselinuxuniversity.net/articles/38420.shtml
Security forum thread were above link is discussed, with further links:
Small request: I guess Mint Debian Edition review is coming:). So, could you check if apt-get authentication thing is resolved, and also there is a claim that Mint Software Manager does not warn the user of dependencies removal. Apparently when you uninstall cowsay and fortune programs it takes out some system files with it without a warning. This was reported for Mint Ubuntu version.
All the best, Singu.
I prefer stability, so my choice is Chrome. Some dont trust Google regarding privacy, I find this slightly paranoid, and dont now how these people dare to connect to the internet in the first place.ReplyDelete

Shameless proposition:) Assuming Mint Dedian Edition review is coming could you check if apt-get authentication issue is fixed. There is also a claim that Mint Software Manager doesnt warn on dependancies when removing packages. Apparently when one removes cowsay and fortune programs it takes out some system files, without a warning. This was on Mint Ubuntu version.
Hope you dont find this intrusive:) All the best, Singu.
Chema Martín - I never really got used to FireFox, I guess I haven't been very fair either, I always just uninstall it from all of my boxes. I did adopt Opera for a short time but that affair ended as fast as it started lol. Maybe its time to retry FireFoxReplyDelete
@Singu: I was actually thinking of doing an LMDE review, but I am not really sure, as I don't really understand the point of it in the first place.ReplyDelete
Mint's objective has always been to make Ubuntu look better and be even easier to use. Granted, Ubuntu is not perfect, but that was the case when the project started, so I am not sure what is the point in releasing something that is not as polished (other than to please some tech-heads, of course and to cover some minor hardware support issues).
Anyways, if enough people are interested, I will cover it, why not.
Bupahs: I recommend installing the beta version of Firefox 4.0 if you want to see whether it's got what it takes for you to use it.
in my oipinion chrome is better ... has more integration with the systems out there and is very compatible , unlike the base (chromium) , an example of it is that even in youtube there are some videos that are in other formats like mp4, flv.... (at my own experience)ReplyDelete

Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone has suggestions as to where are some places to dove and/or quail hunt near or close by the east bay. I have looked through many of the WA listed by DFG and they are all pretty far. I was hoping that there might be some closer to pleasanton or the like. I was golfing with a couple of guys who said there was a spot near the 5 and 580, but I don't remember the exact location. I am open to trying some new places.
Oh, background. Hunter for years now. Just moved up to Hayward for a Job. Now I need to find some places to carry on the tradition. Glad we are not too far from the Sierras.
PM me if you don't feel like spilling the beans to the whole internet.

RED-HANDED: Behind-The-Scenes Discussion Shows Fox News' Lack Of Journalistic Integrity Firsthand
Fox News Watch has some explaining to do.
In its leading segment on Saturday's show, host Jon Scott criticized NBC News for waiting a week to report on the fact that General Electric paid $0 in taxes for their 2010 fiscal year. However, that's not the original point Scott was planning to make. As the Huffington Post discovered [1], Fox originally intended to hit NBC for not reporting on the story at all and began filming the segment by falsely claiming that they had ignored the GE tax story. However, as guest Jim Pinkerton immediately noted, NBC News did report on this, at length, on their March 31 broadcast of NBC Nightly News.
As Scott introduced the segment, on-screen text read "GE's Big Tax Story Not News for NBC News?" When asked to comment about NBC's supposed lack of reporting on GE's tax dodge, Pinkerton interjected, stating, "They covered it last night." What followed was a moderately-paced train wreck that led one of the show's producers, off-screen, to yell cut. But here's the best part: They didn't cut the take because Scott had gotten a key fact of his story wrong. They cut the take because, says the producer: "I didn't like the way you looked." Seriously.
While they thought they were not being filmed, the host and panelists then discussed what would be said in the second take of the segment. The conversation included Pinkerton--a conservative columnist--expressing his gratitude for the take being reshot because he didn't want the host to "wind up looking bad" for being corrected "in the first seconds" of the show. He then took the time to discuss with the host how the story should be framed. That dialogue, as follows:
PRODUCER (Off-Screen): Cut! Cut!
PINKERTON: I was going to say--
PRODUCER (Off-Screen): Cut!
PINKERTON: --I'm glad we're not doing this. Yeah, cut.
PRODUCER (Off-Screen): Sorry.
SCOTT: What happened?
PINKERTON: You can't. It was on last night, on NBC News, this story. They said - you know, and that was kind of the point.
CAL THOMAS: Did you see it?
PINKERTON: I did.
THOMAS: Oh, OK.
COLMES: Why are we cut?
SCOTT: Right.
PRODUCER (Off-Screen): I didn't like the way you looked.
SCOTT: Right. But the point is - and you need to remember Thursday night.
JUDY MILLER: So -
PINKERTON: Right, and I was wrong about that, but I thought we were just going to stop it because to me -I don't want-- you wind up looking bad if I correct you -
SCOTT: Right. But the point -
PINKERTON: --In the first seconds.
SCOTT: The point, the point is that it took them a week, basically.
MILLER: Yes, and, alright--
PINKERTON: Okay, it took them a week. That's true. ABC did it Wednesday night, and NBC did it Thursday night, so you can say ABC kind of shamed NBC.
SCOTT: But the Times did it Friday, and -
PINKERTON: I understand.
SCOTT: --and having worked there -
PINKERTON: I'm all set to pound away on this subject.
MILLER: And I am, too, with another issue.
Incredibly, all of this was captured on film and posted on Fox News Watch's own website, proving that the show's sloppiness extends all the way to its online content.
Miller, however, is absolutely correct. Not only would it have been better "to get it right" by doing a second take, it would have been better to have researched the story in the first place and made sure you had it "right" before you went to air. After all, this is supposed to be a media criticism show on a so-called credible news network. One would think that part of their job would be to make sure their criticism was actually based in fact. Right?
Misinformation [2] is nothing [3] new to Fox [4], but what happened on Fox News' media criticism show was more than a little absurd.
The train wreck, for your viewing pleasure:
[h/t Huffington Post]
And, just in case you weren't absolutely convinced of the fact that NBC did cover this story, here it is in its entirety:
Of course, after all the criticism by Fox News of NBC regarding what they choose to cover and when they choose to cover it, Fox News Watch failed [5] to mention a story that Media Matters first reported [6] last week regarding Fox executive Bill Sammon boasting that during the 2008 Presidential campaign he lied repeatedly on-air about President Obama and his supposed ties to Socialism. Presumably, that story would have as much significance to Fox as a story about GE would have to NBC. And, as Scott discovered, NBC did actually report on an embarrassing story regarding their former owners. Fox News, however, doesn't have the same sort of journalistic integrity.
Fox News, your credibility flew out the window long ago, but I think I just saw it hail a cab and get clear out of town.

Al Gore's movie
by Eric Steig
Along with various Seattle business and community leaders, city planners and politicians, a large group of scientists from the University of Washington got a chance to preview the new film, An Inconvenient Truth, last week. The film is about Al Gore's efforts to educate the public about global warming, with the goal of creating the political will necessary for the United States to take the lead in efforts to lower global carbon emissions. It is an inspiring film, and is decidedly non-partisan in its outlook (though there are a few subtle references to the Bush administration's lack of leadership on this and other environmental issues).
Since Gore is rumored to be a fan of RealClimate, we thought it appropriate to give our first impressions.
Much of the footage in Inconvenient Truth is of Al Gore giving a slideshow on the science of global warming. Sound boring? Well, yes, a little. But it is a very good slide show, in the vein of Carl Sagan (lots of beautiful imagery, and some very slick graphics and digital animation). And it is interspersed with personal reflections from Gore that add a very nice human element. Gore in the classroom in 1968, listening to the great geochemist Roger Revelle describe the first few years of data on carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere. Gore on the family farm, talking about his father's tobacco business, and how he shut it down when his daughter (Al Gore's sister) got lung cancer. Gore on the campaign trail, and his disappointment at the Supreme Court decision. This isn't the "wooden" Gore of the 2000 campgain; he is clearly in his element here, talking about something he has cared deeply about for over 30 years.
How well does the film handle the science? Admirably, I thought. It is remarkably up to date, with reference to some of the very latest research. Discussion of recent changes in Antarctica and Greenland are expertly laid out. He also does a very good job in talking about the relationship between sea surface temperature and hurricane intensity. As one might expect, he uses the Katrina disaster to underscore the point that climate change may have serious impacts on society, but he doesn't highlight the connection any more than is appropriate (see our post on this, here).
There are a few scientific errors that are important in the film. At one point Gore claims that you can see the aerosol concentrations in Antarctic ice cores change "in just two years", due to the U.S. Clean Air Act. You can't see dust and aerosols at all in Antarctic cores — not with the naked eye — and I'm skeptical you can definitively point to the influence of the Clean Air Act. I was left wondering whether Gore got this notion, and I hope he'll correct it in future versions of his slideshow. Another complaint is the juxtaposition of an image relating to CO2 emissions and an image illustrating invasive plant species. This is misleading; the problem of invasive species is predominantly due to land use change and importation, not to "global warming". Still, these are rather minor errors. It is true that the effect of reduced leaded gasoline use in the U.S. does clearly show up in Greenland ice cores; and it is also certainly true that climate change could exacerbate the problem of invasive species.

The Head of the Charles Regatta highlights the Canisius College rowing team's fall schedule, which was announced by head coach Joel Furtek on Thursday.
For the first time in program history, Canisius will travel to Boston for one of the world's premier events. The Head of the Charles Regatta, which attracts 250,000 spectators annually, will close out the Griffs' fall schedule on Oct. 19.
"We were really excited when we got the lottery bid [for the Head of the Charles]," said head coach Joel Furtek. "It's something we weren't prepared for prior to this year, but now we're ready to be in the mix and immerse ourselves in that environment. It's the biggest regatta in the world in front of a quarter million spectators, so the challenge for us is to perform in that environment with everyone watching and with fast crews all around us."
Canisius will begin its fall schedule Sept. 28 at the Hobart William Smith Challenge on the Canal. The Blue and Gold will head to Waterloo, N.Y. to take on William Smith, Ithaca, Rochester and St. John Fisher.
In 2012, the Griffs finished second to William Smith at the event and topped Ithaca by one second.
Canisius will then have a short turn-around as they'll compete Sept. 29 against Buffalo and D'Youville in the Head of the Tonawanda.
"We love two these races because we get to compete against five schools we're friendly with but are also brutally competitive with," Furtek said. "It's a good early test. Anytime we race, we're going to race to the best of our ability, but we're not going to weigh to heavily on it. The fall portion of our season is based on mileage. We'll row 20,000 meters a day. We race to stay excited, but the focus of our training isn't on race results."
Canisius will then compete a week later on Oct. 5 at the Head of the Genesee. That race will take place at the Genesee Waterways Center in Rochester, N.Y.
In just the second year of the program, the Griffs are coming off a third place overall finish at the MAAC Championship, an improvement after tying for fifth in their first year. Furtek has even higher expectations for his team for the 2013-14 campaign.
"This year I like the readiness of our second boat," Furtek said. "We brought in six newcomers and they're all more ready than we would have expected. I like where we are, and I like the progress we're making. We're still in that fun place where we're make gains we see everyday. Watching our student-athletes putting things together is really, really fun."
The Griffs return 11 rowers from last years roster, including five rowers and the coxswain that competed on the Varsity Eight that won MAAC Crew of the Year for the 2012-13 season. Furtek also earned MAAC Coach of the Year honors last season.

I am going to taiwan in feb, i have a degree, which is fine for taiwan, but no tefl.
and, i have only had a weeks teaching assistant experience. but i have been learning
from English language practice/ teaching books...
i do not have the time or money to do a TEFL course in the UK, is it worth me doing an
online TEFL? or, just going for it. i have been told that my accent, being quite BBC news,
will get me a job easy, which i find hard to believe. hehe
i know that for my first lesson i will have a mountain of notes, but basically i am crapping
myself and would like some advice. i have read the argument on whether is good to have
a TEFL or not... as a piece of paper... but what i gathered is that down to the person
actually teaching, but a TEFL will give a foundation of sorts. Also, from the research i have
done, some schools give a few days training...
can anyone give their guidance?

Yesterday's delisting of Turn N Run – literally the night before our review went live, and only six days after the game's release – highlights a large and ongoing problem in the world of Xbox Windows Phone games. Since the debut of Windows Phone 8, incompatibility with the new OS has been discovered among a number of Xbox WP7 titles. Each of these games has been completely delisted from the web version of the Windows Phone Store, and either partially or fully removed from Store searches on actual Windows Phones.
Read on to learn what games have been affected so far, and how Microsoft may be mishandling the Windows Phone 8 incompatibility issues in more ways than one.

Hye Yeon Nam's Self-Portrait reminds us that there is no expectation of objectivity in self-portraiture. Rather, this is how the artist perceives herself. Hye Yeon Nam's four-part video Self-Portrait—Walking, Drinking, Eating, and Sitting—transforms normal activities into sites of confusion. As a Korean immigrant, she shows every-day endeavors which she is persistent in accomplishing even though she has given herself humorous but difficult impediments. The portraits address feelings of awkwardness in places where "fitting in" seems so important and requires consistent self-negotiation with what she perceives others expect of her.

Trying to type on those little keyboards on your tablet is enough to drive anyone nuts! You just want to say "hello" or "that sounds good!" and it comes out in another language completely!
And don't get me started on trying to type REAL long stuff. If you use your tablet for word processing? Good luck! And how about just typing in webpage URLs, account names, etc?! On a PC it takes seconds - on a tablet? An hour!
There's just NOTHING you can do to "fix" the digital keyboard. No matter what app or style you try to change to, it's still a tiny, inaccurate keyboard on a digital screen!
All those digital keyboards are just trying to emulate the real thing: a true keyboard! So why not just add one to your tablet?
Of course, you can't use a NORMAL keyboard! It wouldn't even work, not to mention it'd be impossible to carry around!
So let's add up everything you need: A keyboard, it's gotta be portable, lightweight, and it's gotta work with your tablet.
These Keyboard Cases Are EXACTLY What You Need!
It's 78 keys of pure bliss on ANY tablet!

Airtel launched India's first 4G LTE services in Kolkata yesterday. Airtel delivers the service using TDD technology, making it one of the few operators globally to launch a TD-LTE network. The majority of commercial LTE launches are still based on FDD technology, which begs the question: What impact will TDD have on the LTE landscape? Will TD-LTE get support from equipment manufacturers, or will it suffer a fate similar to that of WiMAX? What does it mean for operators? I believe that TDD will affect the entire mobile ecosystem. Here's how:

Pregnancy stresses your heart and circulatory system, but many women who have heart conditions deliver healthy babies. Know the risks — and how to help prevent complications.
If you have a heart condition, you'll need special care during pregnancy. Here's what you need to know about heart conditions and pregnancy.
Pregnancy stresses your heart and circulatory system. During pregnancy, your blood volume increases by 30 to 50 percent to nourish your growing baby. The amount of blood your heart pumps each minute also increases by 30 to 50 percent. Your heart rate increases as well. These changes cause your heart to work harder.
Labor and delivery add to your heart's workload, too. During labor — particularly when you push — you'll experience abrupt changes in blood flow and pressure. When your baby is born, decreased blood flow through the uterus also stresses your heart.
The risks depend on the nature and severity of the underlying heart condition. For example:
Heart valve issues. If you have an artificial heart valve or your heart or valves are scarred or malformed, you might face an increased risk of complications during pregnancy. If your valves aren't working properly, you might have trouble tolerating the increased blood flow.
In addition, artificial or abnormal valves carry an increased risk of endocarditis — a potentially life-threatening infection of the lining of the heart and heart valves. Mechanical artificial heart valves also pose serious risks during pregnancy due to the need to adjust use of blood thinners and the potential for life-threatening clotting (thrombosis) of heart valves.
Certain heart conditions, including problems with the mitral valve or aortic valve, can pose life-threatening risks for mother or baby. Depending on the circumstances, some heart conditions might require major treatments — such as heart surgery — before you try to conceive.
The risk of pregnancy in women who have the rare congenital condition Eisenmenger's syndrome or high blood pressure that affects the arteries in the lungs and the right side of the heart (pulmonary hypertension) is so high that pregnancy isn't recommended.
Any medication you take during pregnancy can affect your baby. Often the benefits outweigh the risks, however. If you need medication to control your heart condition, your health care provider will prescribe the safest medication at the most appropriate dose.
Take the medication exactly as prescribed. Don't stop taking the medication or adjust the dose on your own.
Before you try to conceive, schedule an appointment with your cardiologist and the health care provider who'll be handling your pregnancy. Also meet with other members of your health care team, such as your family doctor. Your medical team will evaluate how well you're managing your heart condition and consider any treatment changes you might need to make before pregnancy begins.
Certain medications commonly used to treat heart conditions aren't used during pregnancy. Depending on the circumstances, your health care provider might adjust the dosage or make a substitution and explain the risks involved.
During pregnancy, you'll see your health care provider often. Your weight and blood pressure will likely be checked at every visit, and you might need frequent blood and urine tests.
Your health care provider might use various tests to evaluate your heart function, including:
Your health care provider will closely monitor your baby's development throughout the pregnancy. Routine ultrasound exams can be used to track your baby's growth, and specialized ultrasounds can be used to detect any fetal heart abnormalities. Your baby might need monitoring or treatment after delivery as well.
Taking good care of yourself is the best way to take care of your baby. For example:
Contact your health care provider if you have any signs or symptoms that concern you, particularly:
Your health care provider might recommend delivering your baby at a medical center that specializes in high-risk pregnancies. If there are concerns about your heart or circulation or you need to have certain specialists present during labor, your labor might be induced.
Specialized equipment might be used to monitor you during labor. If your heart condition places you at high risk, a catheter might be inserted into a vein or artery to provide detailed information about your heart function and blood pressure.
Your contractions and your baby's heart rate will continuously be monitored. Instead of lying flat on your back, you might be asked to lie on your side and draw one of your knees toward your chest.
To reduce stress on your respiratory system, epidural anesthesia might be prescribed for pain relief. If you deliver vaginally, your health care provider might limit the amount of time you push.
Sometimes it's best to deliver the baby with the help of forceps or a vacuum extractor. If you're at risk of endocarditis, you might receive antibiotic treatment just before and after delivery.
It's unusual to need a C-section because of a heart condition. If you develop an obstetrical problem that leads to a C-section, special precautions will be taken to monitor your heart function during the delivery.
Breast-feeding is encouraged for most women who have heart conditions, even those who take medication. Discuss any treatment adjustments you'll need to make with your health care provider ahead of time. Sometimes an alternative medication is recommended.
If you have a congenital heart problem that greatly increases your risk of endocarditis, your doctor will probably discuss the risk of mastitis while breast-feeding. These fairly common infections could pose a special risk in these situations. Pumping and feeding breast milk might be recommended in some circumstances.

So myself and my girlfriend were looking into doing a CELTA course with the intention of moving abroad(from here in Ireland) and finding teacher related work.
I have a bachelor's degree, but my girlfriend does not.
It seems to be the case where every job offer requires candidates to have a degree behind them?
Now I don't have any problem with this requirement from a visa point of view, but what I do have an issue with is CELTA course's and other TEFL course's accepting people who don't have any degree.
I mean what's the point in taking nearly €2,000 off them when it will be almost impossible for them to get a job even if they pass the CELTA?
Can anyone shed some light on this whole area of job opportunities at teaching English without a degree BUT with a CELTA/equivalent certification?

type in 'rigid industries' for those led air craft spot lights. there is one kind of led that the company makes that concentrates all of the lumens into a tight cone [what i call a pencil beam]. and even though the light is not as over all powerful as the others, it will draw less power. its cheap around $100, and is very compact [could easily be hidden in triple tree area on the raider]. don't worry about a pencil beam not being wide enough, because when that pencil shines down the runway i'll be plenty wide enough. [check the distance and other charts, on the site] sorry i can't put up as a 'link' . i don't know how. also check kurakyn phase 6 and phase 7 led headlight for the raider. the phase 6 draws about half of the stock raider bulb...and the phase 7 draws about half of the phase 6. more power for aux lighting and heated clothing, etc. and easier on the bikes alternator. SALUTE ...big john
Hi GuysI was talking to the guys from seeger cycle, they make chopper front ends. They told me they could do a 12 in ext. on a raider for about 2 grand. Something to think about, and would like to do it myself but dont want to be the first to do it. They say it will have the correct trail and will handle as good as original. Also it should ride better because of the longer wheel base.Seegercycle.comDon
need some more highly radical mod ideas for my raid. so far i'm extending the forks 12". got rid of the rear,lollipops and tag..[tag got mounted sideways to bottom of swing arm and no i haven't got any tickets yet].. found a site on line that sells led aircraft landing lights [yes there small enough to mount very inconspicuously to front end. 250 or 260 on a 8.5 rim...phase 7 headlight. nitrous from tejas. want to see if low and mean is really serious about a highly loud and radical pipe setup. need some front signals to replace front lollipops. thinking about running a thumbscrew right through the grip housing for cruise control [what? hey man i bought a softail in 88 that had this feature and it worked great]. lets see a little more chrome hear and there what do you guys think? any ideas? big john
bigjogn, marcelmthe idea of extending the forks on the Raider to make it a stretched chopper has been kicked around for quite a while. but as far as I know - no-one has done it. think thru the whole operation carefully before you go ahead. there are pro's and con's to it - you've got some headaches to overcome as well as some possible "gains" in appearance. hopefully you are not talking about putting 12-inch fork extenders on your bike. that could be pretty dangerous. dT

Re: Outboard motor shop scam?
Be careful with (business name and link removed by tdw) I've lost a lot of money at this site address. I lost $ 3.845 on the purchase of outboard that until now I have not received the goods
|Year is completely unimportant for servicing a Tohatsu/Nissan, but precise model/serial is critical.
Oh, I did post the end result of this shop visit yesterday. I did pay it and no it was not a scam. Really good to know your experience, it helps puts my mind at ease even more. I did say this motor was a mid 90s but the shop classified it as a NS9.8B and that comes up online as a 1998 and a 2003 model so it may be a 2003. It sure don't look like its 13 years old! It does look more like 8 years old, it can be seen in my video here... YouTube - Nissan 2-stroke 9.8 on Oday 22
I have not been able to find any pics of the 1998 model but it lookes similar as the 2003 in the manual. I don't know maybe I need to call the shop and ask them. The previous owner of my boat when I bought it last year never knew the year of the motor either. Anyone recognize any noticiable differences of it in the video that can distinguish a 1998 from a 2003?
A few thoughts. I've rebuilt a number of mid-90s motors and I'm not too bad at it.
* Unless you are SURE it is fraud--a serious accusation, you have to pay the bill. To do otherwise is stealing.
* Just getting the lower unit off, if it has not been kept lubed, can take hours. I can believe 8-10 hours total. Sounds right; I once did similar service to four identical 9.9 Yamahas I own (long story that makes more sense when you know that my boat has twin 9.9s) and it took hours even after I was good at it.
* Cleaning corrosion is time consuming.
* Mid-90s is long in the tooth if a motor has not been maintained. Doable for sure, but tough at $75/hour.
* Any outboard owner should get to know them better. A mechanic is not always handy. However, I would suggest the MANUFACTURER manual, not an aftermarket manual; pricier and worth it the first time it saves time. I have found this to be true of cars and boats.
|Oh I forgot to mention my flush plug is frozen. It won't unscrew for the life of me. I asked them at the shop about it, he recommended I just leave it as is. I probably should have told him to take it off anyway since its obvious for me it would be easier to flush that way. I think my bracket can indeed lift up, I will have to take a look because I never tried it. I will figure out a way to do it without actually taking it off the boat all the time. I am wondering how long it took for this motor to get all the corrosion built up in it. Plus with that flush plug being frozen, I would not doubt its been a very long time since its been flushed. I used it all last summer and never flushed it because I could not get that plug off, never realized I could run it in a bucket of water or I would have done it at least a few times. Well its going back on my boat Sunday and I am going to run it.
|If hanging on a lift bracket and free of water when tilted down, just hang e bucket under the gear-case and let a hose run into it. Water level must be above the split between gear case and leg (water pump).
"They recommend I run it in a bucket of water after using it to keep it from getting corroded again. Problem is, it is not very easy to remove from my boat while its in the marina. I guess I will have to figure it all out because I don't want this to ever happen again."
If you have garden hose water at the slip, consider using the Tohatsu flushing adapter Part # 336600070M, $7.07. To use it, you unscrew a plug on the motor near the LU upper lube plug, screw in the adapter, connect to the garden hose, and let 'er rip for a few minutes. Now, if it's unreasonable to get to that section of the motor while at the slip, that's not much of an option.
Finally the workshop got it's saying.
I would break it down like this.
1. Test tank run -change impeller and gear oil = 1+ Hour.
2. Off power head, off head, drill out bolts, clean, replace parts, re-test = 4 hours ++
Roughly 6-7 hrs work.
Then it all comes down to the workshop hour rate.
Some people have the misconception that small engines are cheaper to repair than bigger ones, not quite.
The mech (hopefully) has the same hourly pay whichever size engine he works on.
Given that the engine may not have been 'touched' since new, it gives an about yearly service cost of $50 (15 years old), which is not too bad at all!

Okay I've been on the fence with this beacon part. Buy one, make it, get a friend to turn one on his buddy's lathe...
I chose to take a crack at building it.
I took WOF's template and broke it into different sizes of styrene disks. Then I glued them together. Later I put a bolt through the center of each styrene blank and tossed them in my hand drill's chuck. Then ran the drill while sanding to the proper shape. The yellowy parts are PVC tubing.
I still have some puttying and fine sanding to do. I'll post a completed photo when I'm done.
It's not screen accurate, but it's good enough considering it cost me zilch to make!:thumbsup

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I know exactly what you're talking about. There are a lot of good comments here. The ones that I've figured out are the most important are small rudder movements, good throttle control, and good shifting. You are absolutely right that you are stalling out the rudder when it's hard over.
I've found that keeping the rudder centered up, then going with 1/4 to 1/2 rudder, followed by a burst of throttle, say 1600-1800 RPM, then backing down to a high idle, or going to neutral. This gets a quick shot of flow across the rudder for corrections, but not so much that you start going every which way. It also seems to me that about the time you are noticeably turning, get the rudder back to center, once she starts going she doesn't want to stop. I think of the prop/rudder in terms of a bow thruster and give it little gooses here and there.
All that said, my batting average is probably 40-60% on getting where I want to go on the first shot.
Since you've revived this thread Lansdowne . . .
I don't have a lot of experience in difficult backing situations, but my slip is oriented such that we usually have a crosswind (often 10kts or so). Where some of my neighbors struggle backing out when the wind is up (one of them even needing to let the wind blow them off the wrong way, then doing a 180), my PSC '34 with MaxProp does quite well. Based on the previous posts here, I suspect that my MaxProp (with its blades that reverse their orientation when backing) may be helping significantly. I know its not my great skills since much more experienced sailors struggle a lot more than I am in the cross wind. I normally give it a blast to get the boat moving (sometimes initially fending off with a boat pole though), then shift into neutral and coast out.
backing a crealock
I agree with all the input. The first thing you need to learn about backing a Crealock, is where to put those 16" round "crash" bumpers.
And, don't be afraid to use them!
When you do get some travel going in reverse, you need to apply the rudder turn slowly, picking up speed on your turn as you begin to feel it bite. You are right in thinking you prob. stalled your rudder by turning too much too soon.
And the advise to learn to back these boats, in calm water, with soft objects as references and most important; when you don't have to. Rested.
One of our trainers insteaded that you learn to back up, by watching the bow.
He would have us start backing, watching the bow move as we slowly started turning the wheel. Works.
The other thing he had us do, was to get into a wide docking area, dead stop. Turn the wheel full starboard, fwd throttle>reverse>fwd>reverse. Using the prop wash to spin the boat in place. Stop, wheel full Port, repeat process and learn how to use your prop wash. (More bumpers)
If you have the time and money, going to an outfit like San Juan Sailing Yacht training, and telling them you want 6 lessons in dock handling is worth every penny.
I watched this thread with some interest. I just purchased a 1989 PS34. Just before this thread started I had watched my broker back the boat in a straight line. I was surprised he could do it. He told me the key was to put the rudder all the way to starboard before putting it in reverse.
I finally closed and last weekend got to play with it. I found that it works as long as you use very low RPM. I found I could back in a straight line if I first put the rudder all the way to starboard, then put it in reverse at about 1200 RPM. If I gave it too much RPM, it walked to port substantially.
I have a two-blade fixed prop, so that might have an impact.
I feel your pain!
I too have great difficulty in backing the boat up (same boat/prop set up).
I would agree with the idea of starting with the rudder centered, the boat aligned off center before starting (to allow for prop walk), and using neutral as much as possible. From your skewed starting position, turn the prop only long enough to be making way. Go to neutral and only use small rudder movements. I agree with previous statements that any more than half over on the rudder and it acts as a brake, not a turning device. To help with this, I marked my wheel at the center position, and don't turn it more than 3/4 turn either way. In theory you can use a quick burst of high throttle in forward (turn to port) or reverse (turn to starboard) to "spin" the boat with the prop walk without changing speed too much. I have not mastered this at all!!
Again, as others have said, practice, practice, practice.
Good luck, and if you find something that works, please share it with us.

Jay: Not sure what's worse - hitting Hinkleys or getting trapped in lobster pot bouys! Shall give it a go when up in Maine this summer...
Use neutral...... after gaining momentum moving backwards shift into neutral. Be prepared to shift back into reverse when you have lost your reverse momentum.
Using this method, I find that I have much more contol of the boat and that once in neutral, all effects of prop walk are eliminated.
Not all boats act the same, and I can not speak specifically about the PS, I have no idea if your boat will act the same, but I have to believe that this will give you more control. Strong winds are a pain to deal with.
Dear Bill, I've seen my friend in a PSC 34 back into some amazing spaces with great control. When I asked "How did you do that?" his reply was that early on in his ownership he backed the boat all the way through a fairly crowded harbor, around mooring balls, boats, floats, and who knows what else. I plan on following that example though I might use lobster pot buoys rather than Hinkleys!
PS 37, Kenlanu, # 171
Thanks all...
The boat is a Crealock 37 - with fixed prop.
I guess the mistake was turning the rudder too quickly? Even though I had quite a lot of speed going backwards, and when I dropped the throttle, she still kept coming to port while rudder was hard to starboard... Did I stall the rudder or something?
Anyway, no damage done - just would like to have managed it a little more elegantly. I need to practice this stuff - I've never yet had the "opportunity" to back in between pilings - hoping to this season!
Thanks again,
s/v Toodle-oo!
Crealock 37 #148
If it wasn't blowing so hard, I'd have turned the boat around - but those piers were both solid rock - not very forgiving!

Over 40 years of educating about law, democracy, and human rights
Teams of volunteers from law firms and corporations teach young people about law and the legal system and develop in them the skills to use that knowledge to successfully transition into adulthood.
The program targets underserved youth populations—including those in foster care, the juvenile justice system, or homeless/runaway programs.
Street Law also offers curriculum and training for professionals who work directly with foster care youths.

In our Youth in Transition program, teams of volunteers from law firms and corporations teach young people about law and the legal system and develop in them the skills to use that knowledge to successfully transition into adulthood.
Street Law identifies a teaching site, typically a local residential facility or community-based program that serves youths.
Street Law staff conducts an training session for the volunteers. Important topics like interactive teaching methods, working with youths, and important legal content will be covered. The training will also walk volunteers through the program's curriculum, and, with the help of youths from the teaching site, volunteers will decide which lesson plans to teach.
The training is conducted at the office of the participating company or law firm at the beginning of the program cycle. Attendance is mandatory for participating volunteers.
A program cycle is typically eight weeks long, with one lesson taught each week. Each lesson is taught by a team of 4–6 trained volunteers. Depending on the number of volunteers, each team teaches once or twice a month.
Each lesson includes practical legal content and activities that encourage young people to apply what they've learned and develop and strengthen critical-thinking and communications skills. In addition, youths will get to know the volunteers and learn about their professions—the volunteers also learn a great deal from the students!
Participating companies and law firms must commit to provide the following essential program ingredients:
Contact Yolanda Johnson to learn more about this program and how you can involve your company or law firm.
Youth in Transition empowers youth by providing them with practical legal knowledge presented through interactive lessons that promote cooperative learning, critical thinking, and the development of life skills. The lessons focus on practical, relevant topics:
Participating corporations and law firms have access to program resources and lesson plans. You must log in to your StreetLaw.org account to gain access to these materials:
If you are a Youth in Transition volunteer with a registered account and are having problems accessing your materials, please contact Allison Hawkins for assistance.

It appears President Viktor Yushchenko and his Orange Revolution partner, Yulia Tymoshenko, will form a coalition government in the Ukraine. They originally formed a coalition during the Orange Revolution in 2004 which forced pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych to resign after he attempted to gain power through a fraudulent election. The Ukraine is divided in half. The eastern portion has more Russian speaking people who tend to support close ties with Russia while the western half speaks Ukranian and seeks to become a member of the European Union. On the other hand Yushcenko and Tymoshenko dislike one another but are compelled by circumstances to be partners.
In the 21st century we continue living with ancient territorial arrangements that threw together disparate peoples into one nation. Democracy is wonderful, but it also enables this old disputes to become even more intensified as groups vie with one another for power. Eastern Ukraine obviously does not wish to be governed by Ukranian speaking political leaders. The important question is whether or not compromise will succeed in maintaining peace and stability.

I'd like to know some more information on my camera which is best answered by Canon DSLR users.
I understand that Canon's AF has 9 focus point areas if I want to focus on one particular area within a frame, however, I'd like to know if it is possible to select specific areas using the manual focus i.e. is it possible to recreate what the auto-focus does using manual focus settings?
Any information you could provide regarding this issue I am having would be greatly appreciated.

When you are in manual focus mode the focus conformation light in the viewfinder should still work when the subject is in focus via the selected focus point, you still need to activate the camera's meter by half pressing the shutter release, this works on my Nikon and I assume the Canon's are the same, hope this of some use.

Thanks, I did a bit of research into manual photography and realised that what I needed was to learn more about aperture to select a depth of field for focus. With Canon 1000D cameras you can focus on one of the 9 points it provides you with however I was trying to see if there was a manual way to do this using the focus ring and other manual processes.

I am reading a book and found the following interpretation for Nirvana.
Page 29 of:
http://www.dhammaweb.net/books/Dr_Walpo ... Taught.pdf
An Arahant after his death is often compared to a fire gone out when the
supply of wood is over, or to the flame of a lamp gone out when the wick and oil are
finished. Here it should be clearly and distinctly understood, without any confusion,
that what is compared to a flame or a fire gone out is not Nirvana, but the 'being'
composed of the Five Aggregates who realized Nirvana. This point has to be
emphasized because many people, even some great scholars, have misunderstood
and misinterpreted this simile as referring to Nirvana. Nirvana is never compared to
a fire or a lamp gone out.
Is this how you understand it?

The X5 SAV Forum
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Any common, expensive X5 problems? Purchase decision pending - previous threads read!
Hi all, we are considering looking for a used X5 as a car for my son to go to college with. We can't afford a low mileage one, so we are probably looking at 120k+ in terms of miles.
Read this thread here
and it had good information, but wanted to add some detail and color for our purposes, so here goes.
3.0 model is fine, and manual would be our preference for reliability purposes.
My son is not an expert DIY'er, but I would probably fall in to that category, so we are not so much concerned with small problems that are common and easy to diagnose and repair (common sensor issues, normal maintenance like brakes, belts, etc).
Mostly want to know the reliability history for a manual transmission car in terms of major cost repairs. As an example, we had a V-70 Volvo T5 wagon a few years ago and every single one of them eventually would experience a throttle body MAF failure to the tune of $700 - at about 80k miles. If X5's have something like that I want to make sure it has already been taken care of before we get.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, we can't really afford to make an expensive mistake.
A manual trans may be a difficult search, but we have one and there are 'hundreds' out there; they just don't come up on the Jukebox for sale very often.
Ours has ~85k miles and the manual trans still runs fine...from fading memory, the man.trans 'problems' are few and far between as noted on this and that other X5 board.
I would only pursue the 3.0 IL 6 vs a 4.4 V8 on the older model cars. And, any with auto trans is potentially a prob., esp if on its orig trans.
As you noted: window regs, coolant items: reservoir, hoses, water pump, belt pulley idlers, etc.
Also potential longer term prob with the CCV system, esp if the car has been in colder temps or driven short trips.
I have had less than a handful of 'repairs' in 11 yrs/85k miles, but that extra 40k miles on cars you are looking at, may give some pause...I would rec'd a thorough PPI by a very competent BMW oriented Indie before buying. A code check, by a specific analysis BMW 'reader' will alert you to code history and any lurking problems in that dept, too.

BMW CCA mem. Tarheel Chapter
My Flickr...Scenes,Cars & Road Trip Pics:
Gee, expensive car for the son, and more precarious for a car with miles, but the plus is this: bmws are made considerably well and the parts, if the car has been well looked after should last 10 yrs or more. But for a son going to college, it would be a very safe car to drive. He will be up high on the road, the drive is very stable and hard to spin out of control, and the interior is surrounded by air bags. It will be secure journeys to and from college if safety comes first.
Prometheus, you zeroed in on one of my main reason for considering the BMW over other options - safety. He currently drives a 99 Tahoe which is ok, if a bit crude and fuel thirsty.
Also, strangely enough, it appears used X5's are not that much more than used Tahoe's, Xterra's, Pathfinder's and other options of the same vintage; and I am guessing the X5 probably has a higher value floor.
My experience with European cars let's me know usually the mechanical bits don't wear out quickly, but I also know sometimes they have their quirks. We had pretty good luck with my wife's Volvo's, although I did have to replace all the ignition coils, the previously mentioned MAF, and the front hubs on her T5. No turbo problems though, no transmission issues, and no major suspension issues.
MotorDavid, I am not familiar with the CCV system, what is that? Also, did the AWD model have specific issues? If he winds up going to a NE university he may need snow capability - offroad is not something he does however.
Thanks for the responses guys!

Thanks for the PM, I am getting the distinct message that this is not as troublefree as one would want for a young driver far from home - thanks for the advice guys!
I have had my e53 for 4 years now, a 2006 e53 3.0i, and this is what I have had to spend:
Fuel: 13ltrs per 100km city, 8.5ltrs highway
Replace leaking air pipe: $158AU
Replace torn cv boot on front axle: $500
Replace Wiper washer motor and gromet seal: $200
Replace battery with genuine BMW type: $430AU
Replace bonnet release cable: $230AU
Replace brake pads: $430AU
Annual Service with authorised BMW service centre: $400 - 500 per annum
So all up, around $4000 spent over 4 years. Not too bad, considering size and developing age of the car.
I have a 2004 3.0i with 150k miles on it. I purchased it about two years ago with 95k miles on it. I purchased with a warranty. After doing no research prior but only had driven one of my friends X3's, I pulled the CarFax on it and it told me everything I needed to know that I was comfortable in my purchases. I did the best inspection I could, it helped that I aslo knew the GM at the place I purchased it from. It was purchased in near me, used as a company vehicle and had all of it's maintenance work completed at BMW. With the warranty I had to replace the front driver CV and boot and a few other minor things the dealer completed. Since then, I have only had to replace minor things, belts, DISA and 2nd MAF sensor. Car handles and drives like a champ, Handles well in the snow. Since I had a Subaru prior, the AWD is hands down the best, and with the weight of the X5 helps. I even tow my Harley once in a while and get better gas milage before my purchase.
It's been one of the best vehicle I've owned yet and easy to work on!

|MK1 Focus The place to chat about general questions, window tinting, exterior body, interior and lighting upgrades for the first generation 2000-2007 Focus.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
And also, out of curiosity, what colour temp did you get for your fogs and low-beams? You fogs look very very blue (8000k?) and the pics make your low-beams look almost green haha. And in regards to your last edit on your main post about your high-beams not having HIDs, that's how it is for the Focus because we use a dual-filament bulb, there's no HID high-beam available. What some companies do is attach a second halogen bulb to the HID bulb to act as a high-beam. Looks silly/stupid to me, but to each their own:
The other thing I wanted to say regarding HID high-beam, is that it isn't a good idea in the first place, as HID bulbs take time to "warm up" to their full intensity and power. That means that if you flash-to-pass with an HID high-beam, it wouldn't be very bright flashing anyways. Also, HID bulbs and ballasts don't like being turned on and off repeatedly like you would be doing when you flash-to-pass, so you would end up burning out your bulbs/ballasts very very quickly doing it.
You could. It's essentially the same process whether you're doing low-beam reflector, low-beam projector, or fogs. Just different bulbs and different ballast mounting locations. I can post pictures of my cutoff from my HIDs in Hella projectors if you would like some more variety and see how it looks? Also, did you end up keeping your HIDs in the low-beam reflectors, or did you go back to halogen?
And in terms of your edit on the fogs and not getting pulled over, most people conclude that since they are so low to the ground, the glare is so minimal that no one bothers you about it. I have yet to do it to my fogs, but plan on doing it soon. I currently have Nokya Hyper Yellow 2500k halogen bulbs in my fogs and they look fantastic. But, my dad recently bought a new car which coincidentally uses the same bulbs as the Focus and he likes the looks of my yellow fogs, so I might as well upgrade mine and give him my Nokya bulbs.
On my third edit i compare high and low beam halogen to the low beam HID in a stock projector.
What do you guys think? Should I post a tutorial on how I did it?
|Can you post a picture with the light projected at a wall, about 20 feet away or so? I'm curious to see how high the hid fog light gets thrown/scattered. I'd assume since they are so low on the car and they are generally aimed several inches lower than your headlights, it should be better than dreaded hid in stock headlight housing.
|I agree. It isn't cheap. Honestly, I suggest you go high-performance halogen (Hella, Piaa, etc) over HID. But like I said, I won't attack you on a forum for what you do, and in the end it's what you wanna do to make your car stand out from the crowd :)
You can grab a set of Machs. They usually go from $200-$350 in varying condition from what I've seen.
You can try to find a set of Hella projectors like the ones in my avatar. They're rare though and aren't designed for HIDs, but take well to them anyways with a good cutoff and no glare. The beam width isn't the best though. I got mine for $200 off Kijiji.
You can try to grab a set of the new Hella projectors that they have group buys for. They're brand new and designed for HIDs if you get the HID version instead of the Dynabeam ones. They're costly though at a tad over $500 I believe.
You can grab a pair of eBay projector headlights for anywhere from $40-$100 and throw an HID kit in. Won't be blinding, but the projectors are low quality and don't do much better than halogens in stock reflectors.
Lastly, you can do a full retrofit. Those are I believe $300 but one of the best quality and most unique setups. If you end up buying HIDs for your reflectors and change your mind, you can save money on the retrofit by using the "Plug-and-Play upgrade to Bi-Xenon" kits from The Retrofit Source and reuse your own ballasts. Saves you about $75 I believe on your retro.
Just some other options for whether you choose you don't like your reflector HID setup. In the end, you get what you pay for.
|You prove a great point friend. I will be posting the tutorial for poor people such as myself who cannot buy projector beam headlights. If I cant find a way to use HID's safely in the stock headlight I will revert to halogens and will not be posting anything. :)
I've seen people who aim them low and it isn't as blinding, but these are usually only in cars with separate high/low beams such as my friend's Prelude and some of the newer Civics. From what I've seen of Focuses who do this (in comparison to say, Civics which have separate high/low bulbs) is since the bulb uses an arc of light, it lights up where the high-beam filament would be on a stock H4 bulb making the consequences even worse than if it were in a single-filament bulb. But that's just my opinion. I'll see if I can find a pic I saw before of a Focus using HIDs in their reflectors and how the high-beam is lit up in a way where no matter how low you aim them, you will be blinding someone.
In the end, to each their own I suppose. I don't attack people who do it, but I do try to inform them of what they are doing and how in the end it negatively impacts everyone, even themselves as they probably get less usable light on the road as opposed to high-performance halogen bulbs, like Hella and Piaa bulbs.
Here's the pic of a guy with 6,000K bulbs in his Focus. You can see how high the hot-spot from the HID bulb is and how it just floods the entire area above the car. It isn't concentrated at all on the road. This is why I don't believe you can aimyour headlights down enough to make HIDs useful with on-the-road light and not blind people.
