My last car was a modified 2007 GTI putting out ~280hp. My current car is an N55 putting out ~400hp and ~500lbs of torque.
BUt more imortant than the power is the "rubberband" feel of the turbocharger. Sometimes I think I miss the smoothness of an N/A engine (such as when I almost bought an S2000 last month), but then I drive most N/A engines, and they simply do not feel "fast" at all. It feels like the car is actually stuck in mollases around 2,500-3,000 RPMS where a normal turbocharged car starts building serious boost.
Case in point: My wife's 128i 6-speed. The car goes 0-60 in about 6 seconds (fairly fast), but to me it feels legitimately slow. I am currently driving a loaner 328i M-Sport while my car is at the dealer, and even in sport mode with the gas floored, the car feels really, really slow.
I remember how much I used to love unwinding my cammed VR6 back in the day.
Has anyone here successfully transitioned from a high-power turbo car back to a more "sedate" naturally aspirated engine and been able to enjoy it again?

That's the way I feel about it, you BS the customers to much you get use to doing it and it ends up biting you in the ass down the road.Quote:
The funny thing is if I had been told, hey I need the money and it may take a few months to get this out to you I still would have purchased it and that would be it fine. but I don't like to be lied to.
I really doubt it will become a "flame fest" here, the people here are far more mature then the other site mentioned. :D If it does get out of hand don't remove it, just have it locked, removing a thread is like burning a book.Quote:
Looks like it turned into a flame fest. If it looks like this thread heads that way, i'll have the mods remove it.

Schools in Finland are beginning to introduce educational material dealing with the political life of the nation. A study by the University of Turku indicates most Finns are politically ignorant and schools are stepping into the breach by engaging students in political issues both on a national and local level. This autumn, all 9th-graders in Finland have been given a teaching packet entitled "Vastuut(ON) which was developed by the Ministries of Justice and Education. The material is presented in the form of a youth magazine.
The magazine focuses intently on municipal decision making and is intended to support teachers who might be wary of plunging into political discussions. There is a sense among Finnish educators that during the sixties left wing materials came into schools which eventually resulted in a backlash from more conservative people. They believe the pendulum has swung the other way and a middle ground approach to politics is now accepted by the population. Najat Quakrim-Solivio, who helped develop the materials notes: "the most difficult task is to tach what the differences are between the various political parties. Today, even the websites of all parties contain exactly the same issues."
During the past ten years, a project entitled: "The Voice of the Young" allows young people to participate in school decision-making and even participate at meetings called by the mayor.

If you live in the United States and can think of only one, you're
probably with the vast majority of your countrymen. The other? Canada.
While Canada as a confederation wasn't formed until 1867, its genesis
as a nation dates directly back to the Revolution. If it hadn't been for the
more than 40,000 colonialists who moved north during and immediately after the war, much of the area from Ontario east might have fallen into the hands of the United States in the War of 1812. After all, about 80 percent of Canada's population at the time of that war had been born in the United States.

Thank you for anybody who has spotted anything, cheers.
P.s it also must have a viewfinder, and shoot in RAW, and In don't want a CCD sensor Also, if it's a bridge I love macro so the ability to take great macro (I <3 bokeh) shots is sort of essential to me.

The Canisius College cross country team will head to Van Cortlandt Park in New York City, to compete in the MAAC Championships on Friday.
The Griffs are coming off a sweep at the Canisius Alumni Classic on Oct. 19, where Canisius focused on improving its gaping while cruising to the victory in the inaugural event.
Head coach Nate Huckle has high hopes for his teams heading into the races. On the men's side, Huckle is hoping the talent of his top-five runners can help the Griffs onto the podium.
"Really what we're looking at is finishing in the top three, we could be anywhere from second to fifth going down there," Huckle said. "The difference between second and fifth is really how many guys we can pack into the top-20. [Sophomore] Cooper Roach is going to be right up there at the front of the pack and [freshman] Jeff Antolos is coming on strong and looking at probably an all-conference finish in the top 15. After that it's really going to depend on where we can pack in [freshman] Brennan Root, [sophomore] Mike Anvelt and [freshman] Xavier Sauvageau."
Roach has been the top-finisher in the Griffs last three events, highlighted by a ninth overall finish at the National Catholic Championships and a fourth place finish at the Paul Short Run.
The Canisius women come into the meet having avenged its second place finish in the Little Three Championship with a first place finish against the same field at the Canisius Alumni Classic.
The Griffs will also return senior Catherine Phillips, who took was the team's top finisher at the National Catholic Championship. She'll join fellow senior Mikelle Cala in leading the Griffs' pack.
"With Catherine and Mikelle up front that gives us a strong one-two punch," Huckle said. "[Freshman] Haley Keene is coming on strong and senior Jamie Wallace is an experienced runner as well, so they're both runners who should finish in the top-30 for us. It's going to come down to what our fifth runner is going to do. Right now we've got six runners vying for that sixth spot. We're in a much better place than we were in last year, so we're just hoping one can have a great race and bring home our top-five scoring."
The Griffs' women will get underway first at 12 p.m. and the men will start 45 minutes later.

Sleep apnea is a disorder resulting in brief periods when breathing stops during sleep. These periods can last for 10-30 seconds at a time, up to 20-30 times per hour. Over the course of the night, interrupted breathing can occur up to 400 times.
There are 3 types of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive—temporary, partial, or complete blockage of the airway (most common)
- Central—temporary failure to make an effort to breathe
- Mixed—a combination of the first 2 types
Sleep apnea is the result of a combination of factors. Major causes depend on the type of sleep apnea:
- Obstructive—During sleep, muscles in the body to relax. Relaxation of the muscles around the throat and neck allow some soft tissue to sink toward the throat. For some people, there is enough soft tissue to block the airway and interrupt normal breathing.
- Central—Breathing is controlled by signals from the brain. If the signals are not working properly, breathing can be slowed or interrupted.
- Mixed—A combination of both types.
With all types of sleep apnea, the brain senses the breathing interruption and signals the body to wake up. Waking up restores normal breathing but breaks the sleep cycle. Poor sleep can cause daytime fatigue and over time lead to other serious medical conditions like high blood pressure or depression.
Risk Factors
Sleep apnea is more common in men, and in adults over 40 years old.
Factors that may increase your chance of sleep apnea include:
- Excess weight or obesity
- Large neck circumference
- Family history of apnea
Structural abnormalities of the nose, throat, or other part of the respiratory tract. Examples include:
- Nasal polyps
- Severely enlarged tonsils
- Deviated nasal septum
- Hypothyroidism
- Asthma
- Certain medications, such as sedatives and sleeping aids
- Excess alcohol intake
- Smoking
Sleep apnea may cause:
- Fatigue and sleepiness during waking hours
- Loud snoring
- Breathing that stops during the night—as noticed by a bed partner
- Repeated waking at night
- Unrefreshing sleep
- Morning headaches
- Poor concentration or problems with memory
- Irritability or short temper
Untreated sleep apnea can lead to other health complications, such as:
- High blood pressure
- Cardiovascular disease
- Depression
- Stroke
- Kidney disease
The effects of sleep apnea associated with motor vehicle accidents.
An overnight sleep study is used to help diagnose sleep apnea.
Polysomnography is a sleep test. It helps detect the presence and severity of sleep apnea. During sleep, it measures your:
- Eye and muscle movements
- Brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG)
- Heart rate
- Breathing pattern and depth
- The percent of your red blood cells that are saturated with oxygen
Other Studies
In addition to sleep studies, your doctor may order:
- Blood tests to check thyroid function
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Pulmonary function tests
There are a number of treatment options for sleep apnea, including:
Behavior Therapy
- Lose excess weight with the help of your doctor or a registered dietitian.
- Avoid using sedatives, sleeping pills, alcohol, and tobacco, which can make the condition worse.
- Try sleeping on your side instead of on your back.
- Use pillows to increase your level of comfort when sleeping.
- For daytime sleepiness, practice safety measures, such as avoiding driving or operating potentially hazardous equipment.
Mechanical Therapy
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is a machine that forces a constant and continuous flow of air through a hose connected to a mask. It is used while you sleep. The air flow prevents the soft tissues in the throat and neck from collapsing and blocking the airway.
Oral Appliances
Oral appliances that help keep the tongue or jaw in a more forward position may help those with mild to moderate sleep apnea. They can also be used for those with severe obstructive sleep apnea who cannot use CPAP therapy or have tried it without success.
In some cases, surgery may be advised. It is most often helpful in children.
Types of surgery that may be done to treat severe cases of sleep apnea include:
- Adenotonsillectomy—The adenoids and tonsils are removed.
- Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty—Excess soft tissue is removed from the nose and/or throat.
- Maxillomandibular advancement—The jawbone is repositioned forward.
- Tracheotomy —For life-threatening cases of sleep apnea, an opening is made in the windpipe to allow for normal breathing.
- Phrenic nerve stimulation (central sleep apnea)—An implanted device stimulates the phrenic nerve to contract the diaphragm, a sheet of muscle under the lungs. When the diaphragm contracts, air is drawn into the lungs.
Bariatric surgery may help with weight loss in those who do not have success with other methods . This surgery may reduce many of the complications that are related to obesity, including sleep apnea.
Only used in central apnea, acetazolamide may help improve the ability to regulate breathing.
Supplemental oxygen may be given if blood levels of oxygen fall too low during sleep, even after opening the airway.
You may be able to prevent sleep apnea by maintaining a healthy weight. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, and sedatives, which may contribute to airway obstruction.

I wanted to finally share with the community a project we took on for Star Wars Celebration V. Myself and another R2 Builder, Daren Murrer, were looking for a prop to build for the Echo Base-themed Droid room. After watching the movie looking for ideas, I finally noticed a little-known Star Wars vechicle that had been hiding in plain sight: The Rebel Troop Carrier.
The troop carrier can be seen in most of the Echo Base scenes in ESB, as well as one scene in ROTJ. You can see (and hear) the vehicle at the 18 sec point of this video: YouTube - 1 - Han Enters Echo Base
Because of the relative obscurity of the prop, we had to start from scratch: taking our own screen grabs and determining dimensions from there. The final prop is 12 feet long, six feet wide. The cart was built with over 220 individual pieces of cabinet-grade plywood cut on a CNC router table. It's fully mobile thanks to the Taylor Dunn utility cart that it is built on and has a range ~22 miles. It has front, rear, and interior lights as well as a four speaker stereo system with CD and iPod input.
After we got back from Celebration V, we took the Troop Carrier in for a photo shoot. (Photos by Christian Dohn)
The interior was designed and dressed by Star Wars artist Chris Reiff. The dash utilizes such Star Wars staples as Visible V8 engine parts and a real Viscount Reading light. The two video screens are for the front and rear facing driving cameras to help with visibility.

March is "National Women's History Month;" this year's theme is "writing women back into history."
The initiative for this designation started in California in the late 1970's. In 1981, a Joint Congressional Resolution proclaimed a "women's history week." In 1987 it was expanded to the entire month of March and a resolution has been approved each year with bipartisan support in the House and Senate.
Not surprisingly, there has been an increase in recent years of books published with this theme. Currently Shanghai Girls by Lisa See and The Help by Kathryn Stockett are fiction titles on many bestseller lists. Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson is a teen novel with adult appeal, about a young slave girl in New York during Revolutionary War times. All three of these titles were some of my favorites from last year.
On my list to read is When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present by Gail Collins.
Women's achievements and women's history are both subjects in which we have many titles in our collection. Staff can help you find a good one to read.
Come visit soon.

As a rule, healthcare-focused architects refrain from prescribing drugs, and the gang from Populous (formerly HOK Sport) rarely calls audibles during a game. Yet when it comes to energy conservation, architects have guided the conversation since just after World War II, when the AIA began supporting and advising federal regulators in determining optimal building performance. That endeavor has lately gained new breadth—just in time to seriously tackle climate change.
This summer, the AIA publishes the AIA Energy Modeling Practice Guide, covering the ins and outs of energy modeling. To be sure, an architect can more credibly parry with an engineer than with a quarterback. But what parameters do architects use to make a model equate a client's standard? And how clearly can energy modeling guide the profession toward a common, strong means of making efficient buildings?
The answer emerges in a 67-year line of projects by AIA's research arm with titles such as A Nation of Energy Efficient Buildings by 1990, which have reflected the continued urgency of a decades-old energy crisis. The work set a precedent: Those who knew how to tune spaces for human use should guide policy on how those spaces consumed energy. Other professional associations focused on making equipment easier to maintain and install, or on setting optimal fuel prices, but the AIA tasked itself with informing federal discussions on how buildings holistically work.
The January 1979 issue of Research and Design (a journal published by the AIA from 1978 to 1980) reflects the mood in this history. "The federal energy performance standards, due out this fall and aimed at design-stage determination of building energy performance in the '80s, could constitute the most decisive architectural development of the decade," editor Kevin Green hazarded. The AIA responded by helping to shape the mission of the Department of Energy (founded in 1977) and, later, the United States Green Building Council, whose volunteer-developed LEED rating system made energy efficiency a standard for the government and developers.
Indeed, energy modeling emerged in the 1980s in a bid to squeeze more use out of each gallon of fuel, but also as a means of collaborating. The writing in Research and Design from the period abounds with jokes and disclaimers about hippies and beansprouts—as if its editors wished to soften the edges of energy-hawk rhetoric from the Carter administration. But that rhetoric has shifted substantially since then. The researchers scoping out shading and solar power in the late 1970s faced the constraint of oil scarcity. Now, climate instability has added a level of urgency to the debate.
Climate instability and its attendant risks still require buildings to thriftily use energy without sacrificing comfort. These issues also make clients anxious, both about catastrophic weather and carbon taxes. Can leadership still focus on modeling energy use? It can if modeling becomes the first of several agendas that the building professions standardize together. "Architects are going to have to trust the engineers and vice versa," says Nicholas Long, an engineer with National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo. "If an architect tells me that I have to put a specific type of electric lighting in a space, I should be able to tell them that they have too many or too few windows in the space." Long and his colleague at NREL, Robert Guglielmetti, both participated in the new guide's creation and think that it signals a new collaborative spirit.
That spirit may drive inquiries into hard science and safety issues that energy modeling can't broach by itself. Donald Watson, FAIA, a Connecticut architect and co-author (with Michele Adams) of Design for Flooding, donated brainpower to the AIA Research Corporation in the '70s and now wants the profession to model for the unthinkable. "Anyone who is not carefully planning preparation for severe climatic impacts should step away from the table," he says. "The scope of interest in this is phenomenal across the world."
This summer's modeling guide intends to help practitioners decide how architecture can gird for an age of scarce fossil fuel and ease down occupancy costs. Susan Ubbelohde, Assoc. AIA, a professor and practitioner in Berkeley, Calif., who specializes in high-performance buildings, suggests that energy models can open designers' minds to questions about overall building performance. "Energy still costs so little that clients are not thinking about ROI but about comfort," she says. If models link a particular form or set of envelope decisions to energy use, she says, they can make fossil-fuel avoidance part of an aesthetic discussion.
Watson, though, urges AIA members to prepare for as-yet-undefined events. Energy modeling has ripened to industry standard in residential work, he says, and in commercial buildings he sees the opportunity for modeling extreme wind and water forces in and around buildings and urban sites. "The issues and design challenges of climate change are emerging rapidly across international practices, with many complex and new disciplines and computational models devoted to the topic—you have to work closely with an integrated team at the beginning," Watson says. "Modeling future scenarios of risk and remedy has become a critical tool to design for climate change and severe weather. Climate-mitigation models are at the stage where energy models were in the 1980s."
For better or worse, the AIA may need to step up its research work to model not just how to save energy, but how to save lives in a disaster. Collaboration will be more vital than ever.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
A nurse or technician will place large patches called electrodes on your chest and sometimes your back. The electrodes will be connected to a cardioversion machine (defibrillator) using wires.
The defibrillator will record your heart rhythm throughout the procedure and will deliver shocks to your heart to restore a normal heart rhythm. This machine can also pace your heart if it beats too slowly after cardioversion.
Before the shocks are delivered, a nurse or technician will insert an intravenous (IV) line in your arm. The IV line is used to give you medications that will make you sleep during the procedure so that you won't feel any pain from the shocks. Your doctor may also use the IV line to give you additional medications that can help restore your heart rhythm.
Once you're sedated, electric cardioversion usually takes only a few minutes to complete.
Electric cardioversion is done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home the same day your procedure is done. You'll spend about an hour in a recovery room being closely monitored for complications.
Because you'll be asleep for the procedure, your awareness of your surroundings may be affected afterward. You'll need someone to drive you home, and your ability to make decisions may be affected for several hours after your procedure.
Even if no clots were found in your heart before your procedure, you'll usually take blood-thinning medications for several weeks after your procedure to prevent new clots from forming. Some people may also be prescribed medications to help prevent future heart rhythm problems.

Grandfather goes to Washington to try and save ill Hudson granddaughter
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | January 29. 2014 10:53PM
Pictured in front row are Officer Rachelle Megowen, left, Casey Lowe (McKenzie's sister), and McKenzie Lowe. In the middle are Officer James Stys, left, Ronald Lowe (McKenzie's father), Joann LaFountain (her grandmother), Diane Lowe (her mother), Robert Faherty, and Officer Daniel Dolan. In back row is McKenzie's grandfather, Frank LaFountain.
Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski discovered antineoplastons, also known as ANP, in 1967.
According to Burzynski, the naturally occurring peptides have the ability to reprogram cancer cells without destroying normal cells.
An online petition fighting for a compassion exception for McKenzie has received well over 63,000 signatures.
The petition garnered the support of Granite State legislators and last fall, U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte wrote a letter to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg.
"Every child deserves a fighting chance to live the life ahead of her," Shaheen said on Tuesday. "McKenzie is determined to beat this disease and I hope she can with the best and most appropriate treatment available."
In a letter sent to Commissioner Hamburg Jan. 17, both Ayotte and Shaheen urged the FDA to communicate directly with the Lowe family.
In early December, the Lowe family was told that McKenzie would be permitted to start ANP therapy in Texas, provided the family could find a physician willing to monitor her progress locally, family friend Kim Frenette said.
But just over a week later, further complaints against Burzynski were revealed and the FDA told the family they could no longer issue a compassion exemption.
Attempts to contact Burzynski's clinic this week were unsuccessful.
Despite the FDA's allegations, LaFountain said he still wants to see his granddaughter obtain ANP treatment, which he was told has about a 30 percent success rate.
"I was told there is now a clinical hold, that no doctor nowhere will be able to obtain this drug," he said. "Meanwhile, kids all over the world are dying right now. Is pumping them full of chemotherapy and radiation really the answer?"
There are others
California resident Ric Schiff, a detective whose family was likewise affected by tragedy, planned to join them by conference call.
Six months later, Crystin's tumor was 95 percent diminished, but the family was warned it would most definitely return.
After two cycles of ANP treatment, Crystin's cancer was undetectable but her neurological functions were deteriorating.
"The autopsy showed she was completely cancer free," said Schiff. "So the truth is, she didn't die of a terminal illness. She died from bad advice."
One of her drugs costs about $160,000 annually, according to LaFountain. Insurance doesn't want to pay for it, he said, and dozens of area businesses have stepped forward in helping to raise money for the family.
It's a story Dartmouth, Mass., father Phillip Norton knows all too well.
Norton's son Braiden, now 8, was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Pylocitic Astrocytoma shortly before his second birthday.
"What they were going to give to my kid was a poisonous joke," Phil Norton said.
"He was a normal kid who went to school, played with his friends," Norton said. "With the help of a nurse at school, we were able to treat him at home."
In February 2012, Burzynski discontinued Braiden's treatment since the tumor was virtually undetectable.
But in mid-December, doctors said Braiden's tumor was growing back.
"It was horrible news, but I figured we'd just put him back on the ANP," Norton said. "The FDA said no."
"As a parent, how can I put my kid through all that," he said. "Especially after I already know of a better way, a way we already know would work."

Press release – 19.09.2011
Romani version
Anti Racism Commission launches guidelines for governments to combat anti-Gypsyism
Strasbourg, 19.09.2011– The European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) today issued guidelines to the Council of Europe's 47 member countries to fight a rising tide of anti-Gypsyism and discrimination against Roma.
The guidelines – contained in the its thirteenth General Policy Recommendation – call for action to stop the segregation of Roma children at schools and integrate them with pupils from the majority population, to provide access to decent housing that is not segregated, to ensure that Roma are not evicted without notice or opportunity for rehousing, and for steps to be taken to legalise long-standing Roma sites built in breach of town planning regulations
It calls for Roma to have secure access to quality health care and for segregation in hospitals to end, and says discrimination in the health sector must be prosecuted and punished. There should be no obstacles to Roma exercising traditional trades, and Roma should be consulted to find alternatives, for instance through micro-loans or tax breaks. All Roma children should be registered at birth and given identity documents.
Governments should encourage Roma victims of violence and crime – including misconduct by the police - to lodge complaints, and the media should avoid inflammatory reporting.
The guidelines also urge equal provision in public services such as water, sanitation, electricity, refuse removal and transport for Roma communities concentrated in certain neighbourhoods. It asks governments to ensure freedom of movement legislation does not discriminate against the Roma and that their culture is protected and promoted amongst the majority population.
The full text of the Recommendation can be found at www.coe.int/ecri
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

'This summer is shaping up to be another difficult one. Briere, Drury and Numminen spoke in vague terms about their contract situations — the injured Zubrus was unavailable to comment after the Game Five defeat — but Mair made his intentions clear. "My hope is that I'll be back in Buffalo," Mair said after getting eliminated from a conference final for the third time in his career. "That's where my heart is, and that's where I want to be. I don't think it's going to be too hard to get me."'

Liz LaPlante enters her 38th year as head coach of the Triton women's tennis team in 2016-17.
During her 37 years on the La Jolla campus, LaPlante has amassed a .667 winning percentage with her 547-273 overall record. She has recorded winning seasons and posted double-digit win totals in all but five of her campaigns. Her teams have had 20 or more wins on five different occasions.
Over her first 21 seasons at UCSD, La Plante became the most successful coach in NCAA Division III women's tennis history. Her teams qualified for the D-III National Championships 19 times, winning four national titles and finishing second on five other occasions. The Tritons also placed third nationally three times while at the D-III level.
LaPlante was honored as the NCAA Division III Coach of the Decade in 1991. She was also the 2000 ITA Division III Coach of the Year.
Since LaPlante took over the program in 1980, 29 Tritons have earned All-America honors.
In 2015-16, UC San Diego recorded a 12-10 record in dual matches and made a return to the NCAA postseason. The Tritons climbed all the way to No. 13 in the ITA national rankings. Senior Kyra Scott was ranked 43rd in singles, while she and partner Britta Mosser were 20th at the end of the season.
During the 2014-15 season, the Tritons went 12-13 overall and were ranked as high as 15th in the country. Scott climbed to a No. 8 national ranking in singles play, while she and Mosser were 14th in doubles. UCSD posted wins against NCAA Division I opponents Seton Hall and Villanova.
LaPlante earned her 500th career victory as head coach of the Tritons in the season finale against Hawaii Hilo on April 22, 2012, when UCSD cruised to a 5-0 win.
In 2010, despite UCSD's CCAA win streak being snapped at an amazing 65 victories with a loss to Cal Poly Pomona, the Tritons captured their seventh-straight league title. UCSD finished the season with a No. 15 national ranking and earned the third seed in the West Region, advancing to the program's 30th-consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
In 2009, for the sixth-straight season, LaPlante was recognized as the CCAA Coach of the Year. She was also tabbed the ITA West Region Coach of the Year after leading the Tritons to their sixth-straight undefeated CCAA championship season.
In 2005, the Tritons won the NCAA Division II West Regional at home and advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2002. La Plante recorded her 400th career victory during the season.
2004 marked a season of firsts for the Tritons at the Division II level as they went a perfect 8-0 in CCAA play and won their first league championship.
UCSD moved to the NCAA Division II level for the 2000-01 season.
LaPlante has served as a member of the Western Region Ranking Committee since 1981, and has also been on the ITA National Ranking Committee and the NCAA National Subcommittee, which governs the national championships for men's and women's tennis.
LaPlante graduated from San Diego State University in 1979 and played varsity tennis for three years as an undergraduate. Prior to that, she was one of the top junior players in San Diego County. LaPlante currently plays club tennis.

Core Curriculum
Global Miami Plan
In addition to the specialized courses in their majors, all Miami students complete the Global Miami Plan for Liberal Education. More than job training for a specific career, the Global Miami Plan includes courses that help you develop mental agility and problem-solving ability to think for yourself and adapt to a changing world. A well-rounded education can help you explore a wide range of subjects and perhaps discover new interests and career possibilities.
Requirements of the Global Miami Plan
Foundation Courses
This requirement is met by taking 36 semester hours of foundation courses. These courses, typically taken within the first two years, include the following areas:
- English Composition
- Fine Arts, Humanities, Social Science
- Global Perspectives
- Natural Science
- Mathematics, Formal Reasoning, Technology
In addition to the areas above, at least one course fulfilling the Global Miami Plan must present a cultural perspective and one course must present an historical perspective.
Thematic Sequence
The Thematic Sequence requirement is met by completing three related courses (usually nine hours total) in an approved Thematic Sequence outside your department of major.
Capstone Experience
In your final year of study, you must take a minimum of three hours in a Capstone Experience, which serves to meld your broad, liberal learning with the specialized knowledge of your major. It could take the form of a workshop, research seminar, individual or group project, or creative work in a studio, laboratory, or field study.
The Global Miami Plan includes about 30 percent of your courses; the remaining 70 percent are courses for your major, divisional requirements, and electives.

'Bartlett flew into Rochester, Buffalo's American League affiliate on Tuesday at the request of the Sabres. He met with officials and watched a preseason game on Wednesday night, then drove to Buffalo for further meetings on Thursday before heading back to Rochester that evening. Although now encouraged that the Sabres could be sending some players Bakersfield's way, Bartlett said details remained to be ironed out and it would be sometime next week before that could be accomplished.'

Sabres move on after exceedingly busy summer
'"Anytime you lose the last game of the year, that's something sour that sticks with you, especially when it's a game away from something you dreamed about playing for," he said. "And I guess I can say this team, in its history, has never won a Cup, so there is a lot of unfinished business."'

Don't let your govenment fool you this non-complience garbage is an attempt to disarm law abiding citizens of their rights.

Well when anyone gets reall info on the pistol drop it here so the masses can appreciate the feed back.
I am looking forward to seeing one myself
I'm hoping to be able to add some first hand information in about 10 days.
Just called them today and they said the 45's are coming out "soon" they have been saying this for more than a year. Talked to a Canadian gun manufaturer (no names pls) who was in a big show and he recommended to me to wait about 6 months after it comes out. The proto type at the show according to him "did not even work". I've waited this long, willing to wait a few more months, but after that, my money goes to the Canadians.
We have an FN rep that does Q&As at the FN Forum. They were supposed to come out in Nov. At the end of Nov, I asked again at the last Q&A. We were told that there was a holdup with the extractors, but it had been solved - and it would be "very soon."
I am now hearing Jan 08 from other sources... So, we'll see. I think it will be soon. Look how long it took for the HK45.
And, the next Beretta Storm 45 PX4 is now rumored to be a Summer 08 release....
Things take time.
The Beretta PX4 45 is out NOW! See: http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=30849
I hope FN decides to get on the ball and get those FNP45s that are "piled up to the ceiling" in the FN warehouse out the door and onto dealer shelves.
any update?
the last post was february and it is now august
Yea, they've been out for a little while now. Several FNP45 owners at the FN Forum...
Still waiting for California approval...
i am waiting for the other new fnp-45 the military one
this is the link to the information
I just got my FNP-45 about 10 days ago. I've put 100 rounds through it and absolutely love the gun. It came with 3 24rnd mags, interchangable backstraps, ambidextrous controls, a manufacturer's hard case and gun lock. I highly recommend this pistol! I got mine for $595 and have since seen it for more and for less at various sites on the net. Here's a few pics to check out...

I got mine a few months ago for $580. That was for the gun, Uplula mag loader, a few boxes of ammo and a .45 cleaning kit.
For some reason they do not seem to be very popular.
Odd since I think it is a far better pistol than any other poly gun.
It would be nice if more folks bought them. Then the aftermarket will kick in.
It's been pretty slow getting stuff.
There are a few places making holsters, I carry mine in a Crossbreed supertuck. Took 4 days to get it.
Ameriglo will have front and rear night sights available the first of next year.
It looks to be green only for now. There is a thread on fnforum.net on a group buy. Looks like $60 a set.
this gun has not shown up at my local gs
when it does ........
i think this will take off when more of them show up
it has everything and even matches all the favorite choices on the recent post of "design your gun" (or something along those lines)
i love the 1911 but this one has it all

Green Bay Unable to Complete Comeback at Valpo
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
VALPARAISO, Ind. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Visiting Green Bay (10-10, 4-3 HL) fell behind early and despite a comeback which cut a 16-point deficit to just three at halftime, the Phoenix could not rally past league-leading Valparaiso (16-5, 6-1 HL) in a 73-61 loss at the Athletics and Recreation Center on Wednesday night.
Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored a team-high 18 points in the defeat, but a third foul early in the second half limited his minutes. The 7-foot-1 junior had 14 of his 18 points in the opening half and added six rebounds and two blocked shots. With 92 points in five games against Valparaiso, Brown has now scored 981 career points.
Sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) scored 11 of his 15 points in the first half and senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) also reached double figures with 12.
Green Bay fell behind by 9-2 early, and the Crusaders had extended their lead to 16 (28-12) with 8:05 left in the first half. With Brown and Sykes combining for 16, the Phoenix went on an 18-3 run to cut the Valpo lead to just one (30-29) with 1:38 left before halftime. The Crusaders went to halftime leading 34-31.
In the second half, The Phoenix was undone by Valparaiso's ability to get to the foul line and convert its opportunities. Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Ryan Broekhoff was held to just 2-of-7 shooting from the field but knocked down 14-of-15 at the foul line to score a game-high 19 points as Valpo made 27-of-33 at the charity stripe, including 19-of-22 in the final 20 minutes.
Broekhoff converted an impressive three-point play for his first field goal at the 7:04 mark, and Matt Kenney drained a three-pointer to give Valpo a 10-point edge (58-48) with 6:17 remaining. Again, Green Bay responded.
Sparked by five-straight points from junior Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.), Green Bay went on a 10-3 capped by a tip-in from freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.). Fouse's bucket made it 61-58 with 2:04 to play.
Broekhoff responded for Valpo again, hitting a step back three-pointer on the next possession and Valpo finished the game on a 12-3 run.
In a matchup of the league's top two rebounding teams, Green Bay outrebounded Valparaiso 33-31 behind nine rebounds from Fouse.
Green Bay continues its four-game road trip on Friday night at Milwaukee at 8 p.m. in a game televised by ESPNU.

i was recomended to come here and find someone called WickedBeard. i was told that he makes full metal armor and gauntlets.
im looking for full metal jango fett armor, to include helmet and gauntlets. i have been planing my armor for about a year now, but i refuse to settle for plastic armor, even if its a heavy gauge. in specific need of the full jango parts to have more pieces to modify to go along with my other pieces.
it might seem silly that i want some "heave" for my armor but i want nothing but the best for my mandalorian armor.

I owned one a few years back. I even took a local practical pistol class with it.
The grip angle is similar to the 1911, but the grip area is quite a bit blockier than the 1911. The bore axis is higher. The trigger is nowhere near as good as a tuned 1911's, though it is still perfectly adequate. Mags are not easy to find. Mine was totally reliable, unlike many 1911s.
It's a good pistol, and easily worth $350. It fits pretty well in holsters for the SIG P220/P226.

Author Ed Nielsen could barely hide his excitement as he talked about sessions spent with local World War II veteran Gene Carman. Nielsen spent nearly a year meeting with Carman, and put the finishing touches on the former POW's story in October.
Author Ed Nielsen could barely hide his excitement as he talked about sessions spent with local World War II veteran Gene Carman.
Nielsen spent nearly a year meeting with Carman, and put the finishing touches on the former POW's story in October. The book, "Assault on Avignon," details much of Carman's two years in the U.S. Army during the war.
The primary focus, however, is the 11-day stretch when Carman was shot down behind enemy lines, injured, captured by Germans — who fended off two onslaughts from the French — and finally rescued by American forces.
Once he was rescued, the commanding officer at the German prison surrendered to Carman, who was a 2nd lieutenant at the time.
During the war, Carman, now 94, was a navigator/bombardier on a B-25. He was stationed in Italy on the Island of Corsica. His B-25 flew 38 missions over Italy and southern France before being shot down.
One coincidental connection between Carman and Nielsen is the date of the veteran's first flight. Carman's first flight took place on June 2, 1944, the day Nielsen was born. Their introduction, which took place at lunch with a mutual friend, seemed like fate.
Writing the book with the veteran was an honor, Nielsen said, adding that he was "mesmerized."
"Fortunately, I had my tape recorder going," he joked.
This, however, wasn't the first time Nielsen has told the story of war from the perspective of soldiers who lived through it. His first book, "Warriors," was filled with nine first-person accounts of the Vietnam War.
Nielsen retired to Henderson County in 1999 from Atlanta. He worked for the U.S. Civil Service with the Department of Defense. He spent those years writing — not only books, but also articles for a now-closed tabloid, "Prime Times."
His recent work, "Assault on Avignon," includes an addendum by HonorAir creator Jeff Miller. Carman, also a Henderson County resident, was able to go on the first HonorAir trip.
The real honor, however, is that the book creates a record of Carman's experiences as a POW, Neilsen said. Carman said he was excited when he finally held the book in his hands.
"It's in a sense kind of hard for me to grasp," the veteran said.
The book is available on www.Amazon.com.

The Chemistry of Biodiesel
If your vehicle runs on diesel fuel, then a recent experiment conducted by 14 members of the Class of 2016 could save you a few trips to the gas station and reduce your carbon footprint too.
The first-year students made their own batch of biodiesel from a vat of used vegetable oil — 10 gallons of expended French fry oil from Proctor Dining Hall — and converted it into fuel that will power a diesel engine.
How difficult is the conversion process? How does the energy output of biodiesel compare with that of petroleum-based diesel fuel? What is the cost savings, if any? How does biodiesel compare with conventional diesel fuel in terms of greenhouse gas emissions?
The students in chemistry professor Jeff Byers' first-year seminar called Smart Energy Choices pondered all of these questions and more, but first they had to get their hands a little oily too.
For a week on either side of the Thanksgiving break, the aroma of French fries filled Lab 459 in McCardell Bicentennial Hall while Byers and his students converted the used canola oil into biodiesel.
It was a multi-step process, with more than its share of glitches along the way, as the students made their biodiesel through transesterification, which is the chemical reaction that occurs when an ester, or carbon compound, is converted into another ester through the introduction of an alcohol and acid or base catalyst. (The students' ester was the veggie oil and their alcohol was methanol.)
Byers, who is the Philip Battell and Sarah Stewart Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, has taught the seminar before, but he offered it this year with the addition of a weekly lab component to a) ensure that it was writing intensive, and b) give the first-year students a solid foundation in the scientific method. One of the few first-year seminars at Middlebury with a required lab, Byers recommended that students have a year of high-school chemistry and a year of high-school physics before enrolling in Smart Energy Choices.
The professor used research funds from his endowed chair to purchase a 40-gallon "All American Biodiesel" processor. Made in Missouri, the apparatus consists of two large mixing tanks, two electric pumps, a fuel filter, brass valves, and about 15 feet of PVC pipe. Not sleek or high-tech like most of the equipment found in a chemistry lab, the processor looks more like something your eccentric neighbor might assemble in his garage.
Because the experiment involved numerous steps, including filtration and titration (and unclogging sludge build-up in the lines), the class used a shared online document from Google Docs to record, review, and analyze the processes involved. And only toward the end of the experiment, when the class attempted to draw off its first sample of biodiesel to test its energy output, did the entire group come together around the processor.
Then, using a standard bomb calorimeter, the students measured how much heat was generated by the biofuel, and with this data they compared the energy output of biodiesel with that of other combustible fuels.
As Byers explains it, the smartest energy choices are the ones that have the highest ratio of hydrogen to carbon:
"When you define 'smart energy choices' within the confines of still having to burn stuff for energy – accepting the fact that the smartest energy choices are the ones in which you don't have to burn anything at all, like wind or solar – then the fuels that offer the highest ratio of hydrogen to carbon, and with least amount of oxygen in the molecules, are the fuels that will generate the most energy per CO2 emission.
"That has been our standard in this course. High energy is good. High CO2 is bad. So what you are looking for is the ratio between the two."
So is biodiesel a smart energy choice? "Absolutely," said Amari Simpson '16, from Chicago, who would like to carry the experiment one step further. "We have diesel trucks and vans at the College right now, and I would like to know what the feasibility would be of using the All American Biodiesel processor to create our own biodiesel from vegetable oil to use in those engines."
Simpson continued: "We would need to know the actual cost of making our own biodiesel, and calculate the environmental impact of using it" – studies show that biodiesel is cleaner than conventional diesel fuel – "so I think the College should give it a try."
Middlebury students have long been a driving force for the environmental movement at the College. A student-driven initiative led to the construction of the biomass heating plant; a recent Winter Term class modified a tractor engine to operate on hydrogen; students have experimented with biodiesel from algae; and in 2003 and 2004 students drove across the U.S. in a school bus powered by veggie oil. So as Middlebury approaches 2016, the year when it has pledged to be a carbon-neutral campus, some members of the "carbon-neutral class" (as the first-year group has been called) are now thinking about ways to get there.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by OLD SKOOL HQ, Apr 5, 2014.
That can shoot 50% from the floor and 75% from the free line and defend the paint....
A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down, and orders a sandwich. He eats the sandwich, pulls out a gun, and shoots the waiter dead. As the panda stands up to go, the manager shouts, "Hey, where are you going? You just shot my waiter and you didn't pay for your sandwich!" The panda yells back at the manager, "Hey, man, I'm a PANDA! Look it up!" The manager opens his dictionary and sees the following definition for panda: "A tree-dwelling marsupial of Asian origin, characterized by distinct black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves."

UConn player says some nights he goes to bed 'starving' | MyFOX8.com Shabazz stock will go up based on his tourney play...... Once he starts "eating" he will bulk up and be an even better player in the NBA. LeBron James Believes Shabazz Napier Is Best Point Guard in 2014 NBA Draft | Bleacher Report
I got high expectations for Dante Exum. And I consider him a Sg, not a pg. So Napier goes for the title for "best PG in draft" against Marcus Smart, Tyler Ennis, and who else?
Why is Dante not a PG?
I know he is, but I think he could be playing minutes at SG too. Don't get me wrong Panda, I love what I've seen from Exum. I'm really high on this kid.
I was just wondering why you think he should play at SG. He seems to be a fairly good build/have the right skillset to play the point. Don't know if I would trip over myself trying to take him top 5 though
I'm not saying he should, I'm saying he could. I'm saying he has that ability. One of the negative things some scouts say about him is that sometimes he get loose with the ball and stuff like that. But on the positive side, he also has the abilty to find open teammates. I think he is a top 5 player in this draft and will become one of the best PG, of course, if he ends up being a PG in the nba and not spending most time at the SG spot. (That may be decided if a team with a well suited PG draft him or a team lacking a PG draft him). Maybe Smart would have a better beginning in the NBA than Exum, but a the long term, I bet Exum will be better. (Of course, just my thoughts and beliefs)
I dunno about Exum. I've watched him play a few times and he doesn't really wow me that much. Not saying that he isn't a solid player and a strong prospect, just that he doesn't scream superstar. Everyone seems to have him as a top 5 player in this draft but I really just don't see it. Every now and again there was a play which make me go 'wow' but they seemed to far apart. I would be luke warm on the idea of using a top 5 pick on him. I've always thought the biggest attribute of a potential nba player is instinct and I don't think he has it.
I wouldn't draft Dante....
I respect your opinions, let's make it interesting: 1) Who would you draft if you have the 3rd pick and you are the new GM of the Detroit Pistons? (Put it in order) In example: 1) Wiggings (if not available), 2)Parker, (If not available) 3)Embiid. 2) (Same question but with the 8th pick, so, name 8 players) 3) Which PG do you think will have the best career in the nba? (Put it in order) In example: 1) Marcus Smart, (If not available) 2) Dante Exum, (if not available) 3) Shabazz Napier 4)Tyler Ennis 4) If Shabazz Napier does not get drafted in the lottery, you, as a basketball fan, will be: (Very Angry, Angry, Indifferent, Glad, Super Happy)
1) Wiggins - Parker - Randle. 2) Wiggins - Parker - Randle - Smart - Embiid - Exum - Gary Harris 3) I don't know enough about the later guys to guess this. I think Smart will have a good career, Exum should as well. I just don't think either will be stars. 4) He won't get drafted in the lottery. And I won't care.
Also, Napier is pretty much the same size as Isaiah Thomas. Is he so much better than he deserves to be a lottery pick?
I asked to name 8, you named 7 ! lol
Sorry I forgot Vonleh
Well, May 20 is the next big date for the Pistons. This is the lottery selection date.
I think they should make Joe represent the team at the lottery. Time to start earning that salary.
