POCATELLO, Idaho – For one last week, the Wildcats take to the road in the Big Sky.
The Weber State University women's volleyball team wraps up the road portion of its 2013 schedule this week when the Wildcat travel to face rival Idaho State on Wednesday night, before facing their final road match at Sacramento State on Saturday.
First serve against the Bengals is set for 7 p.m. at Reed Gym, with the match against the Hornets set to begin at 8 p.m. from The Nest.
Weber State will carry a 3-13 Big Sky and 7-23 overall record into the match, while Idaho State is 11-5 in league play and 17-10 overall. The Hornets are 8-8 in Big Sky, 13-14 overall, and will face the Bengals on Friday before hosting the Wildcats.
Junior outside hitter Audrey Biggs leads Weber State in kills with 304 (2.71/set), and is second in total points with 339.5.

It was a night to remember inside Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium as the 2014 Teen Choice Awards went off without a hitch on Sunday (August 10).
There was plenty of star power packed into the arena as lovely faces like Jennifer Lopez and Lea Michele made their way through the crowds.
Following up a successful debut album launch with another big highlight, Lucy Hale is all over the September 2014 cover of Cosmopolitan magazine.
In the front shot, the "Pretty Little Liars" lady shows off some serious cleavage in a slim-fitting black dress with a center cut-out and a big red bow.
Proving that she's more than a pretty face with autotune, Lucy Hale performed live at the Clear Channel iHeartRadio Live Series at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank last night (July 31).
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady was all decked out in a black dress with red cowboy boots as she took the Honda Stage and sang her heart out for her loyal fans.
It's going to be an exciting fall season, as Lucy Hale has designed a new collection with Hollister that's slated for Back-to-School release.
In a press release, the "Pretty Little Liars" lady explained that her dresses, leggings, tops and skirts all carry a common California flavor.
Her debut country album cracked the top 5 Billboard Country chart and Lucy Hale is on her way to becoming a bona fide country star.
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady just dropped the new music video for her second single "Lie a Little Better," filmed at the Grand Ole Opry.
She's used to a bit of scandal on her hit television show "Pretty Little Liars," but Lucy Hale was out of her depth when she auditioned for "Fifty Shades of Grey."
The 25-year-old cutie told MTV News that she wanted to challenge herself and change things up so she went out for the role of Anastasia Steele.
Gentlemen, she's back on the market, but don't expect Lucy Hale to accept any dinner invitations for the time being.
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady dumped her boyfriend of two months Joel Crouse because she's just too preoccupied with her career.
She loves a good party and Lucy Hale had a blast at the All Access Performance for American Rag at Macy's in Sherman Oaks, California on Saturday (June 14).
The "Pretty Little Liars" lady, who was also celebrating her 25th birthday, smiled for the shutterbugs in a gorgeous red and black getup before heading inside and taking the stage.

The GSMA has published research that shows that the number of total connected wireless devices is expected to increase from approximately 9 billion today to more than 24 billion in 2020, and within that, mobile phones and tablets will double from more than 6 billion today to 12 billion in 2020.
This explosive growth will support an addressable revenue opportunity for mobile operators of nearly US$1.2 trillion by 2020, a sevenfold increase from expected revenues in 2011.
"We are entering the next phase in the development of the mobile industry, one where we will see mobile connect everything in our lives," said Michael O'Hara, chief marketing officer, GSMA. "In this new Connected Life, mobile will transform society and will have a profound effect on the way we interact not only with each other, but also with our surroundings. However, capitalising on this enormous opportunity requires collaboration across the entire ecosystem to demonstrate how mobile technology in everything from tablet PCs to new healthcare devices can enhance people's personal and business lives."
Mobile operators can benefit from this important revenue opportunity by addressing key areas of the value chain such as service provision and system integration, as well as collaborating more closely with vertical industry sectors to provide compelling new services to their customers.
The sectors that will benefit from this collaboration include the consumer electronics industry, which could generate direct revenues of US$445 billion; the automotive sector, which could generate US$202 billion in revenues; the health sector, which could see growth of US$69 billion; and the utilities sector, which could see an additional US$36 billion in revenue by 2020.

Although Caroline isn't anywhere near ready to start taking college level classes, I wanted to review JumpCourse because I know there are many people who read this blog who have right-brained children, gifted children, and children who otherwise simply learn and think outside the box. Online learning can be a great option for children like this. It provides homeschooling moms something different for their children who need learning tools that work for them more than the typical book and paperwork approach.
It became obvious to me fairly early on that Caroline is one of those children who is going to prefer and probably excel from learning through video. I count myself fortunate that this option is available for us today. (Not only does she like learning through video, she made the decision herself a long time ago to turn on the closed captioning so she reads along with almost everything she watches. This has done amazing things for her reading ability and vocabulary.) Because of the way she is wired, the idea of learning through online video courses is one that greatly interests me as a homeschooling mom.
So I accepted the opportunity to receive a course for free and am being compensated for my time to write the review. All views are my own and I was not required to write a positive review.
What is JumpCourse?
JumpCourse is an online adaptive learning website that makes it possible to take college level classes in a way that works best for you. These classes are a great choice for gifted or advanced students who want to get a head start on their college coursework before enrolling in college. Each JumpCourse class includes:
- Professional videos
- Written material
- Interactive assessments
One aspect I especially liked for learners like Caroline is the information is presented in multiple ways. For example, for the class I took (Organizational Behavior) I had the opportunity to watch professionally done, highly-engaging videos and also read the same material in written form. Then I practiced what I learned through interactive activities.
The entire course is built on mastery learning and the course adapts as you go. When you fail to demonstrate mastery of a certain area, you go through it again. You must demonstrate mastery in order to continue on with the course.
What Does JumpCourse Look Like?
JumpCourse begins with a Getting Started section. You become acquainted with the layout of the site and the various features of the program. At the end, you demonstrate that you understand how everything fits together. Everything is great for highly visual learners.
There are three components to each course – Watch, Read, and Practice.
The videos are high quality and move along quickly.
The same material is also available in written format and it is easy to print it off for reading offline or reviewing.
The practice section includes a wide variety of interactive activities such as multiple choice, drag and drop definitions, and identifying information in reading passages.
The Benefits of Online Learning with JumpCourse
I can see so many benefits for courses like this. For example:
- Flexibility of scheduling and classtime
- Accelerated learning opportunities for gifted students
- Allowing homeschooling students to take classes in areas where mom and dad may not excel
- Preparing to CLEP courses and earn college credits while in high school
And perhaps the biggest benefit of all…
- Saving money!
Each class is only $99 and that includes all of the materials needed! With a number of courses to choose from now and many more starting this fall, a student could complete many of their freshman year classes at a fraction of the cost of a typical public or private college/university.
Right now JumpCourse is offering a special discount so you can try it out!
- 50% off one course through June 30, 2014 with code HOME50
- 20% off unlimited number of courses through August 30, 2014 with discount code HOME20

Fox News pundits who pretend to know something concerning global changes in our weather assure their listeners there is nothing to wild exaggerated claims by LIBERALS concerning how our planet is undergoing significant alterations in how it exists. Scientists with NASA who work on weather now are convinced that major portions of the west Antarctic are collapsing. It has begun and there is no possibility of their gradually increasing collapse into the oceans. It is now estimated this process will continue throughout this century, and by the 22nd century the process will accelerate. They predict a rise in sea levels of about ten feet within two hundred years. Two hundred years means nothing in the life span of this Earth, but it means something to we humans who only emerged about 50,000 years ago.
Thomas Wagner of the NASA project made clear there is no turning back, we are now trapped in the outcome of decisions made, and that continue to be made by we ignorant humans. "This is really happening.There is nothing to stop it now. You are still limited by physics of how fast the ice can melt." Warm water from ocean depths are a major factor in what is occurring. Fox News cute pert girls can giggle, unfortunately, they are NOT scientists. The world IS getting warmer and consequences arise from that FACT!

November Teacher Salute Winner
Congrats to our November 2013 Teacher Salute Winner... Mrs. Maureen Thorley, 6th, 7th & 8th Grade Math & Computers Teacher at Notre Dame of Bethlehem School!
Mrs. Thorley was nominated by her past student: Lauren Vargas
Below is what Lauren had to say about Mrs. Thorley:
"I am nominating Mrs.Thorley because she is such a wise and caring woman. She truly cares about her students and wants them to do well. Even after her students have moved on to high school she still tutors them. Mrs. Thorley was my math teacher for three years in middle school and even though I have moved on to high school and in my third year, she still tutors me. I have friends in high school that never had her as a teacher in middle school, but she never turns them away and offers to help them as well. She sometimes can have two or three study sessions a day after school is over and they can continue late into the night. I can tell that she loves her job very much and enjoys helping her students. Mrs.Thorley is such a saint and truly has a heart of gold!"
Congrats and Thank you again to Mrs. Thorley for her hardwork and dedication! Mike & Steph will be visiting her classroom soon with a class pizza party from Little Caesar's Pizza! And Mrs. Thorley will enjoy a $250 Gift Certificate to Meera Salon & Day Spa!

U.S. Report Card
By Ridge Mahoney
A late defensive breakdown caught centerbacks Omar Gonzalez and Geoff Cameron napping and deprived the Americans of snagging a point. But they weren't the worst performers in the USA's 2-1 loss to Honduras in their Hexagonal opener. That honor fell to their German-American partners on the backline, Timmy Chandler and Fabian Johnson.
6 Tim Howard (Everton/ENG) 85/0. A superb punch save of Mario Martinez's rising blast temporarily kept Honduras scoreless and with a few other saves he gave the Americans a chance of stealing a point. He came off his line aggressively on the second Honduran goal and did his job by forcing a pass that his defenders failed to deal with.
3 Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg/GER) 10/0. His much-awaited competitive debut didn't go so well. He lost a duel on a shanked clearance to give Honduras a corner kick from which it scored the tying goal, and the times were many when Carlo Costly or another attacker got space behind him. He slid inside to protect the back post on occasion but never
looked secure.
4 Geoff Cameron (Stoke City/ENG) 12/0. It wasn't always clear if he or central partner Omar Gonzalez had their roles and assignments defined, and though he dug into tackles and stepped into midfield to intercept through balls there were far too many shaky moments. Whether by confusion or fatigue he couldn't deal with the through ball that Oscar Boniek Garcia slid across the goalmouth for the winner.
4 Omar Gonzalez (Los Angeles Galaxy) 4/0. Fell victim to the defender's curse; made some good plays while obviously laboring to handle the intensity and pace of a road Hexagonal match, and fell asleep at a critical moment when a sharp reaction would have cleared a square ball that produced the winning goal. He nearly rescued a tie with the last touch of the match but his header from a corner kick sailed over the bar.
3 Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim/GER) 11/0. He wasn't the only guilty party but Martinez, Garcia, et al, ran rampant into his zone to whip in crosses or dart to the byline. His midfield partner on the flank changed several times, which sapped his game of continuity. In the second half he pushed up field to play a ball to Clint Dempsey in a good spot but never took advantage of space to lob balls into the box.
4 Danny Williams (Hoffenheim/GER) 12/0. He did his job with some good screening in front of the back line and scraped loose a couple of balls in threatening situations but failed to hold balls or play short passes to give the U.S. some rhythm. He seemed to lose his legs early and couldn't find a way to subdue Honduran catalyst Roger Espinoza.
5 Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04/GER) 27/2. He clipped a great ball over the Honduran back line that Dempsey volleyed home for one of the nicest goals of the Jurgen Klinsmann era. Another good ball freed Eddie Johnson, with whom he switched slots at times, on the left side. He took over duties for many of the set plays, which were hit and miss. He didn't get his customary caution with a wild tackle or emotional outburst, but a few of his giveaways were glaring.
5 Michael Bradley (Roma/ITA) 73/11. Single-handedly drove the U.S. attack for much of the game, and played numerous good balls forward and out wide. He passed up a good shooting chance, took one long dribbler that was easily saved, and was unlucky on another occasion when his hard, low shot was deflected for a corner. Tasked with directing the attack he often dropped deep in search of the ball. He hit a couple of very poor set pieces. His atypical fluffed clearance led to Honduras' equalizer and he didn't react to the deflected cross that was spectacularly biked into the net.
5 Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders) 45/15. Started the match at left mid and moved to forward at halftime; he provided a great cross that Jozy Altidore volleyed narrowly over the bar, and also set up a good chance for Dempsey. The move up top didn't stretch the Honduran defenders and though he ran at them he didn't quite have the zip to burst clear. A crashing run on a corner kick yielded a strong header that cleared the bar.
6 Clint Dempsey (Tottenham/ENG) 92/31. His superb volleyed goal gave the Americans a 1-0 lead they could only hold for a few minutes. As personnel and formations changed, he shifted from a central role to one out wide, and then moved back into the middle. He dragged defenders into many areas but after scoring couldn't find another good opportunity, and lost a chance when dispossessed at the edge of the box when a cleaner touch would have set up a shot. He seldom had a crossing option when he gained possession out wide.
4 Jozy Altidore (AZ/NED) 53/13. A dearth of service left him frustrated and exhausted, since there wasn't much support for his hold-up play and runs into the attacking third. He also failed to turn with the ball at his feet, and expected a foul once when knocked down and got called for handball instead. His short, smart pass to Jones led to the goal. He gave a great effort to reach Johnson's cross and under very tight pressure volleyed an awkward ball just over the bar.
4 Maurice Edu (Bursaspor/TUR) 43/1. One of two subs just before the hour mark, he spoiled an otherwise encouraging performance by failing to challenge Maynor Figueroa or block his pass in the build up to the winning goal.
4 Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht/BEL) 39/4. He started off adequately after replacing Eddie Johnson, but he then lost possession near the corner when well-placed to cross and followed up with a badly hit serve right to the opposing keeper.
4 Graham Zusi (Sporting KC) 8/1. His nerves may have betrayed him; though he brought energy, his touch was off, and his mistrap and subsequent handball snuffed a promising U.S. attack.

Well, it's taken me a couple of days to get around to it, but I think I'm ready to give a review of Diaghilev. I haven't given it a full wearing yet, but I applied a couple of miserly spritzes on three different occasions, and I can say a few things about it now.

California has a really important upgrade in public postsecondary education, and it's worth writing about. It's not the University of California, or the California State University, or even the California Community Colleges. Those institutions are old-hat. The Golden State has shifted its priorities to take funds away from these older institutions and sink them into the new approach.
The new system is miles ahead of them in its ability to recruit new students. Even better than that,

I've had friends who spent white nights waiting for product launches. And I'd never done that before either.

I am learning web design right now. I am in school. It's tough because there is so much out there to learn. php, javascript….You all know the idea. The thing is that I am 35 and just now starting. I see some of the work here on this site and it blows me away. I keep looking forward to the day when I will have the skills I see here on this site. I guess my question is. How long did it take for you to get as far as you are? what did your first sites look like? Anyone got any pictures of their first site that could give me hope?
It just takes time. It took me about 2 years to get where I am now. I don't have any pictures, but believe me, they looked a lot worse then my current sites.
I'm 26 and been programming all my life but I started design just very recently. I came in to TF as a noob designer and I'm still a noob designer. My designs may not be as spectacular as the other dudes here but I'm learning slowly and improving my design techniques. Hopefully I can become a solid designer too someday.

Well, you one of those who show some good improvements on design here so fat. It is interesting to review your new upload files
I've build my first website when I was 16, four years ago. It was a… minimalistic style . I started learning themes design for real two years ago (two and a half).
Generally learning the principles is taking about a year, but the more websites you're making the faster you're learning. Everything else is practice, practice, practice.
I designed my first when I was 11 but been doing it professionally for about 6/7 years now.
Get ready for some uglinesss! haha:
6 years ago for clients
My portfolio over the years
2003 – some images are missing =(
Don't laugh too hard
The thing is that I am 35 and just now starting.
You're still young! I've met people that are in their 40's, 50's and even 60's that blow me away because they act and live like they're half their age.
The really nice thing about the web is that you don't have to learn it from when it started until now. You only have to learn what is current in the industry and move forward from there. The downside of the web is that it's HUGE !!! What I suggest doing though, is learning HTML and CSS 100 % through so you know it like the back of your hand (if that's the area you want to be a part of) and then as time permits, start adding what you need most next that is hot in the industry.
It has taken a little over 3 years for me to get where I am today and over half of that was graphic design for newspapers (which is ugly as sin by the clients request). The advantage I have is that I'm an electronics geek. In 6th grade I was building custom electronics. In 8th grade I learned how to build a website (tables and frontpage) but I didn't take it seriously and continued on the hardware path while dabbling in web stuff all the way through college (electronics engineer). So technically it has taken my whole life to get where I am! lol BTW , electronics engineering is boring which is why I am now a freelancer. I wanted to do something fun as my work, lol.
I'm 16, been working at graphic design for, oh, 5 or 6 years. Self taught.
I've been involved in web design since 1993-ish. In 1995 i was the first student ever at my university to submit a major essay/report as a web page. It had frames and animate Gifs!
Only now have i decided to hopefully make money off it.
It had frames and animate Gifs!
Tabled design too?I remember a few years back when for a web designer your pitch was "a tableless design!". A design that used CSS was cutting edge!

Bear's name: DeerBear
Artists: Members of the Bear Brigade (residents of Deerfield)
Sponsor: Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community
Location of bear: Main Street, south end of 500 block west side
"Beartistic" details: Bill and Lane Waas, two artistic and creative residents, were asked to spearhead the team effort to dress the bare bear in appropriate attire to reflect the retirement community's personality.
"Corralling an equally talented group of bear folks, the committee went to work combining their various skills, transforming their critter into a whimsical likeness of a Deerfield retiree, including subtle (and not-so-subtle) symbolism of the "Golden Years" before it emerged from hibernation," said Karin Kastetter, Deerfield's director of development and community relations.
The symbolism includes the story of purple and red as told in the poem by Jenny Joseph that states "When I am old I shall wear purple with a red hat ... and make up for the sobriety of my youth."
The antlers on the bear, of course, refer to Deerfield.
Hiking boots reflect the many residents who like to hike or walk a lot. The "D" on the boots, made up of tiny portraits of residents, stands for Deerfield.
The stars?
"Well, look around and see how very many stars we have here at Deerfield," Kastetter said. "The stars and photographs stand for some of the many."
The glasses perched on the bear's nose help it see where it is headed, as they do for many Deerfield residents.
The residents are so enamored of their bear that they want to make sure it returns to live at Deerfield after its journey to Hendersonville, so they are planning an auction, contributing treasures to raise the funds to bring their bear home. A "bearometer" measures the money raised by direct donations.

Spoto senior Nick Addison rarely comes off the field for the Spartans, so he's hard to miss.
And several prominent Division I-A schools have taken notice. Addison already owns offers from Iowa State, Ole Miss, Washington State and I-AA Bethune-Cookman. Spoto coach Dale Caparaso thinks that's only the beginning.
"The interest in him was instant, three days after the season ended," Caparaso said. "He's going to be offered a lot more. Florida State and some of the big boys are interested. Arkansas likes him a lot, too."
The 6-foot-3 Addison, a Times all-Hillsborough County first-team selection last year at defensive back, is being recruited mainly as a cornerback. His seven interceptions last season were among the most in the bay area.
But this season he will also start at quarterback and is a special teams sensation. In the Spartans' spring game against Lennard, he returned a kickoff 82 yards for a touchdown.
Addison also led the Spoto 7-on-7 team to the Big County Preps 7-on-7 tournament title this summer. The Spartans will play in this weekend's USF Sling 'n Shoot.

In cases where pattern matching does not work as expected, you should
check the FullForm of the expression:
In[5]:= FullForm[Exp[2 I t]]
Out[5]//FullForm= Power[E, Times[Complex[0, 2], t]]
Your factor of 2 is absorbed into Complex. Integer, rational and inexact
numbers get absorbed into Complex, and in these cases the following will
In[6]:= Exp[2 I t] /. Exp[Complex[0, n_] t] :> 1/(n^2 - 1) Exp[n I t]
Out[6]= (1/3)*E^(2*I*t)
If n is an exact number other than an integer or rational, such as
Sqrt[3], then you will need to work a bit harder:
In[8]:= Exp[Sqrt[3] I t] /.
Exp[f_. Complex[0, n_] t] :> 1/((f n)^2 - 1) Exp[f n I t]
Out[8]= (1/2)*E^(I*Sqrt[3]*t)
This latter rule should work in all cases.

Sea will rise 'to levels of last Ice Age'
The British tabloid Daily Mirror recently headlined that "Sea will rise 'to levels of last Ice Age'". No doubt many of our readers will appreciate just how scary this prospect is: sea level during the last Ice Age was up to 120 meters lower than today. Our favourite swimming beaches – be it Coogee in Sydney or the Darß on the German Baltic coast – would then all be high and dry, and ports like Rotterdam or Tokyo would be far from the sea. Imagine it.
But looking beyond the silly headline (another routine case of careless science reporting), what was the real story behind it? The Mirror article (like many others) was referring to a new paper by Grinsted, Moore and Jevrejeva published in Climate Dynamics (see paper and media materials). The authors conclude there that by 2100, global sea level could rise between 0.7 and 1.1 meters for the B1 emission scenario, or 1.1 to 1.6 meters for the A1FI scenario.
The method by which they derive these estimates is based on a semi-empirical formula connecting global sea level to global temperature, fitted to observed data. It assumes that after a change in global temperature, sea level will exponentially approach a new equilibrium level with a time scale τ. This extends the semi-empirical method I proposed in Science in 2007. I assumed that past data will tell us the initial rate of rise (and this initial rate is useful for projections if the time scale τ is long compared to the time horizon one is interested in). The new paper tries to obtain both the time scale τ and the final equilibrium sea level change by fitting to past data.
Therefore, my approach is a special case of Grinsted's more general model, as you can see by inserting their Eq. (1) into (2): namely the special case for long response times (τ >> 100 years or so). Hence it is reassuring and a nice confirmation that they get the same result as me for their "Historical" case (where they get τ=1200 years) as well as their τ=infinite calculations, despite using a different sea level data set (going back to 1850, where I used the Church&White 2006 data that start in 1880) and a more elaborate statistical analysis.
However, I find their determination of τ is on rather shaky ground since the data sets used are too short to determine such a long time scale with any confidence. That their statistics suggest otherwise cannot be right – you can tell by the fact that they get contradictory results for different data sets (e.g., 1200 +/- 500 years for the "Historical" case and 210 +/- 70 years for the "Moberg" case). Both can't be correct, so the narrow uncertainty ranges are likely an underestimate of the uncertainty.

Went to the range today with my shooting buddy/best friend. We took plenty of 9mm and .22 with us as we each had new toys. Mine was a 9mm, CZ type clone by the Turkish firm of Sarsilmaz and Dave had two new .22s he picked up at a gun show. Lots of fun.
I was quite pleseantly surprised by the Sarsilmaz. I'd always wanted one since I like to compare foreign weapons to our American equipment. So far, the American manufactured stuff has won hands down. Still, CZ makes some outstanding firearms as do Bersa, Rossi and Taurus.
I put 250 rounds down the tube of the 9mm Sarsilmaz and had no issues what so ever. It shot a bit low and to the left for both myself and Dave, but with aim compensation, I obliterated the black with three magazines (14 rounds each). Dave still shot a bit low and to the left. I was impressed by the quality of this gun, the fit, finish and machining were excellent and the overall look of the gun is appealing to the eye.
It IS a heavy piece of hardware, all steel, the barrel is bright while the frame and slide are black. The trigger is a bit rough with a fair amount of stacking in DA. Not enough to be uncomfortable though. SA trigger pull is about 4.5 lbs. Recoil negligible. The slide has three holes on each side near the muzzle and there are two behind the front sight blade. The holes are decorative I think as their placement would do nothing to enhance the performance of the firearm.
Over all, an enjoyable experience. One could do a lot worse than to buy the Sarsilmaz KAMA in 9mm.

Mexican Focus RS Mk2 Tuning Plan
So now that my RS has arrived safely in my garage, I have been researching and plotting my tuning upgrade. I have spoken with several European tuners about their kits and interest and/or willingness to support an install in North America. Based on that I decided to go with Pumaspeed, due to their owner's, Tony, attitude, excitement, and support for the project and the fact that they can pretty much supply all the tuning components I am interested in. I talked with Karl at Massive Speed Systems, here in Chicagoland, and based on their experience, reputation, proximity, and enthusiasm I am going to have them do all the install and turning work. Here is my plan at present.
Massive Speed System
2304 Spring Ridge Dr.

- High Power 6 Paddle Clutch
Clutch to eliminate slipping over 400 bhp
6 paddles make for much smoother operation
Genuine Ford cover plate from the Focus RS Mk2 2009
Pumaspeed Sourced friction plate
A new introduction from Pumaspeed. With power output reaching over 400 and soon the hit the 425 and with turbo kits 450 Pumaspeed have launched the New 6 paddle version clutch for the New Focus RS Mk2 2009. Built to handle power above 400bhp this unit has been designed to work with the existing hydraulic slave and Ford Dual Mass Flywheel to ensure an even smoother operation than the 5 paddle and solid flywheel versions.
- 400R Hybrid Turbo charger and FORGE ACTUATOR
Ported to a higher degree including the collector throat.
Balanced to the ultimate tolerance
Billet aluminum Forge actuator for higher wastegate lift
New specification 'Cut Back' turbine wheel for higher flow
To fully realize the turbos potential the 625cc injectors and special mapping is essential
Pumaspeed has a history of offering the best Hybrid Turbochargers for many a Fast Ford.The focus RS Mk1 has a full range of GT26 all the way to the huge GT30.The Focus ST 225 has the very popular Hybrid KKK unit code named the 350RS which has been preferred by many German customers over their original Wolf 330 unit
Building on this success Pumaspeed introduce the first generation Hybrid for the brand new 2009 Focus RS Mk2.
Code named the 400R the new turbocharger has been optimized by the fitting of a higher specification 360 degree bearing, new compressor wheel and features the tried and tested 'Cut Back' to the turbine for more exhaust gas flow at high revs. A spokesman from the Pumaspeed turbo specialists believes this unit will flow a significantly more air than the standard Focus RS Mk2 unit and due to its higher balancing tolerance should spin up faster and hold strong boost at high revs.
Working with several European Tuning specialists Pumaspeed have developed this new unit to work in the power range 400-425 bhp at very high Autobahn speeds.Testing on standard turbo unit with Phase 2 EURO mapping (OE injectors) have shown the car bouncing off the rev limiter.
As with the very popular Focus ST350RS turbo this new 400R unit is uprated to cope with sustained high boost operation and high load of Autobahn high speed testing. Autobahn speed runs have seen Speeds up to the rev limiter in 6th Gear 265kmh (170mph).
This new unit will be tested with the new 400R mapping with speed limiter removed and 625cc injector scaling which should see speeds over 175mph.
Dyno runs have seen power at 403 bhp and over 600nm of torque.
My install of the Pumaspeed 400R Turbo is on hold for right now while their supplier catches up with demand, but we will swap it out later this summer
That's my plan, I look forward to hearing anyone's input, feedback, and advice on my plan, although do me a favor and spare me the "don't touch it, leave it in pristine condition" comments. I buy my cars to drive them and drive them hard, and love to "improve" them. I'll leave it to others to buy, own, and store them in mint condition as unique collectible icons.
Many thanks in advance,

when I reach my 1000 km (600 miles) I´ll allways check out what top speed I get out of my new one. That`s the way I do it here and never had any problems with one of my cars.

HELL NO, for what that car costs, take your time and break it in right. But then give it a good run and let us know please :DQuote:

Hate to break it to you, but you're in for a rude awakening when you meet your first AMG. You will get owned in a straightline race from a dig or from a roll by any supercharged or turbocharged AMG car.Quote:

I have driven AMG MB allmost all of them clk 55 sl 55 the only ones with the "good" engine ( i have a detailing company in the main line ) granted they are quick, but have YOU ever driven a XLR-V? The xlr feels light on its feet way over powered and I am sure it will take one of them and not be embaressed at all from the 4.4 North Star SC. I was just on the blue route the other day 476 and 60 to 103 came way too quick AMAZING!Quote:

We were messing with some xlr-v's we had and when you trick the vaccuum operated exhaust blockoff into always staying open the V sounds all the sweeter.. these are turning out to be fun little cars.

Words to Live By: Never Give Up
"If there is no dark and dogged will, there will be no shining accomplishment; if there is no dull and determined effort, there will be no brilliant achievement. Achievement consists of never giving up." – Xunzi, 313~238 BCE
Xunzi, a philosopher who lived during the Warring States period of China, highlights a fundamental Confucian ideal with this straightforward and concise quote. He states that achievement is never attained through lethargy, negligence, and lack of willpower. Instead, you must act with tenacity, perseverance, and zeal to succeed in anything. Realistically, hard work and determination will not always end with desired results, as failure is inevitable in life. However, a sense of appreciation comes with hard work whether the end result is success or failure. This concept can be applied not only to life at Deerfield, but life outside as well.
We've all experienced those days when our schoolwork is piled so high it genuinely seems impossible to finish. You vow to yourself that you will use study hall effectively, and that no distractions will sidetrack your progress. Yet when you turn on your laptop, the very first impulse is to type in "Netflix" or "YouTube." The next day, you deeply regret the decisions you made the previous night. Either you're completely sleep deprived, or a portion of your homework is incomplete. Hopefully, this cycle doesn't repeat itself, which would be detrimental to your academics.
Time after time, we've been told that success only comes after you possess the willpower and determination to keep going and to not give up. In an ideal world, we would all be studying, fully focused, from 7:30 to 10:00 every night, self-motivated to cultivate and better ourselves through our schoolwork. Accomplishment doesn't come easy, hence "dark and dogged will." As we know, Deerfield, an academically rigorous institution, does push us to our limits. Based on personal experience, I've discovered that with a determined spirit, it is possible to complete a 350-line poem, a Chemistry lab, review for a history quiz, and make it in time for practice as well. At the end of the day, the most strong-willed, most persistent person who decides to trudge onwards will be the most successful person. Legacies, money, and connections will only get you so far in life. Success through self-motivation and an indefatigable attitude will undoubtedly be the most rewarding type of success. When I'm old, I want to be able to say that I approached the obstacles, challenges, and difficulties in my life tirelessly and assiduously. I want to be able to state that the milestones, accomplishments, and achievements in my life were due to my own determination and drive.
—Justin Hsu '16

Volker Purfurst lived in a small village in East Germany and couldn't wait to get out, doing so a few years after the Berlin Wall fell. Even so, the 58-year-old rooted for eastern German player Toni Kroos during the World Cup final Sunday and calls Germany's win a defining moment.
"We've been waiting for this for 24 years," he said from his home near Stuttgart. "In 2006, we were quite close. In 2010, we were quite close. And now it's finally happened – it's euphoric!"
Tens of thousands of fans gave the returning team a heroes' welcome in Berlin Tuesday at the "Fan Mile" near the iconic Brandenburg Gate.
Still, in the days following the victory, postgame analysis – German-style – has reigned: Forget about deconstructing the goal or the plays, it's all about what the victory means. Some say it's a reflection of typical German qualities such as teamwork and perfectionism.
"The captivating game played by the German team embodies many traits of Germany as a whole: dedication, disciplined teamwork and a strong sense of strategy," Deutsche Bank co-CEO Juergen Fitschen told Handelsblatt daily Tuesday.
Others said it was united Germany's moment to finally shine on the world stage – in a way it hasn't through international crises or the European sovereign-debt disaster.
But most talked about German unity, grounded in reality now but still a work in progress.
Mr. Purfurst recalls how the East German-West German border opened in 1989 and, in February, 1990, it was already clear the two Germanies would be reunited. But during that year's World Cup, because unification hadn't taken place yet, the "Ossies" (Easterners) didn't quite own Germany's 1990 World Cup win even as they were thrilled by it.
In the years since, disillusionment among residents set in: The eastern German states continue to be the poor stepchildren in the country, with far higher unemployment and far lower wages than in the western states. Still, that didn't seem to matter Sunday.
"In 1990, there was already a feeling of unity because the Wall had just come down, despite the fact that there were no players from East Germany," said Timo Deschner, 25, of Berlin. "This time it's legitimate."
Still, when Germany beat Brazil last week in the semi-final, there was shock: "No one could believe it; such things don't happen," said Andreas Kipp, 38, watching the game at a brewery in north Berlin.
And even though Germany was favoured to win over Argentina in the final, its fans didn't really believe it would happen, typical of the "culture of doubt" that famously reigns here.
"We're not Americans – we just don't think that way," Mr. Kipp said.
Call it humility, call it caution against being disappointed, or even call it a fear of displaying too much pride in one's country – a hangover from Germany's past and the Second World War.
Since the mid-2000s – and especially since Germany hosted the World Cup in 2006 – patriotism has been steadily on the rise as the country puts its postwar legacy behind it.
There was no hesitancy to put that pride on display Sunday following Germany's fourth World Cup win. In Berlin, fireworks erupted on main thoroughfares and small residential streets alike. The crowds celebrating and toasting were so thick that trams and taxis couldn't get through.
But not everyone is so thrilled with the glee over the World Cup triumph, warning that an "appropriate amount of skepticism and a wary eye" are necessary.
"It's about pointing out that it can become a negative trend," Martin Winands, a researcher at the University of Bielefeld, told German media outlet SHZ.de. "It is important that we don't allow any excessive nationalism."

In an article about a prominent non-denominational pastor who has decided that he needs to go to seminary, the writer, Michelle Boorstein, discusses non-denominational churches as an example of the larger phenomenon of "the dissolution of religious structures."
Now we usually think of the decline of religious institutions in our culture in terms of fewer people going to church, the rise in the number of "nones," the general climate of secularism, etc. But this suggests that Christians too are complicit in the decline. [Read more…]

Sony Bluetooth CD/MP3
I have a Sony MEX-BT5100 head unit and was thinking of putting it in my '07 335i. Can I use an aftermarket head unit while retaining the rest of the factory stereo (amps)? I really miss listening to Pandora and songs on the Iphone. Getting an adapter costs as much as replacing the head unit. Any ideas?
I have purchased an iSimple one for my wife's '05 Z4, but it kept cutting in and out. Where the 20ft cord plugs in to the iPhone was very sensitive, so if you barely touched it, the unit would cut off. I used a FM modulated one too, but had the same issues plus the sound quality was terrible. Nothing worse than listening to Pandora on a fuzzy radio station that is attenuated. :tsk:

Savage on Media Matters: "They're the brownshirts of our time"
On the January 11 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Savage referred to Media Matters for America as "a homosexual, fascist website." He continued: "Let me explain who Media Matters is. ... It's run by a bunch of fascist homosexuals. They're the brownshirts of our time." The brownshirts were Nazi storm troopers who aided Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Savage made his comments while discussing a lawsuit [1] he has filed against the Council on American-Islamic Relations [2] (CAIR).
Savage also claimed that Media Matters was "founded by [Sen.] Hillary Clinton [D-NY]." As it has [3] repeatedly [4] noted [5], Media Matters is a progressive nonprofit organization unaffiliated with any candidate or political party.
Savage has attacked Media Matters on several occasions, calling the organization a "hate group [6]"; a "group of gay Mafioso [7]"; "the homosexual Mafia [8]"; and "a gay smear sheet [9]." Additionally, on the June 12, 2007, broadcast of his radio show, Savage compared the "progressive movement" to the Nazi storm troopers, saying, "[T]hey are the brownshirts of today [10]."
Talk Radio Network, which syndicates Savage's show, says [11] that Savage is heard on more than 350 radio stations. And according to Talkers Magazine [12], The Savage Nation reaches more than 8 million listeners each week, making it one of the most listened-to talk radio shows in the nation, behind only The Rush Limbaugh Show and The Sean Hannity Show.
From the January 11 edition of Talk Radio Network's The Savage Nation:
SAVAGE: It fell in my hands. I didn't choose this fight. I never liked CAIR, but I never figured they were going to be my enemy, but, like everyone else, it's not my problem. Well, then, they made themselves my problem. They attacked me. They went after all my advertisers. They learned good from their friends at Media Matters, that rat-bum -- it's a homosexual, fascist website. Let me explain who Media Matters is. It was founded by Hillary Clinton. It's run by a bunch of fascist homosexuals. They're the brownshirts of our time.
When are you gonna wake up to the fact that liberals are not liberal? When are you gonna wake up to the fact that the liberals are the new fascists. They are the brownshirts! And they're gonna take this country over the cliff if you don't stand up to them and stop them. That's why I'm putting myself on the line. And if you think it's a joke, it's not a joke.
I walk with my head swiveling. I look over my shoulder. I live as though I am the hunted one. And that's because you are not the hunted one. That's because you are a coward. And that's because your government doesn't protect its citizens.

The Non-Hypocrisy Of Being Wealthy While Criticizing Inequality
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
The Wall Street Journal is pushing the false narrative that Hillary Clinton is a hypocrite for taking sizable speaking fees while Democrats criticize inequality.
Since leaving public service as secretary of state, Clinton has followed in the footsteps of predecessors Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell by embarking on a nationwide speaking tour, reportedly receiving fees of more than $200,000 per appearance to speak to a variety of industry groups. She typically discusses her experience at State and takes questions from a moderator or the audience about current events. These engagements have come amid a flurry of media attention over whether Clinton will seek the presidency in 2016.
The Journal editorial board is using these appearances to attack Clinton and try to drive a wedge between her and the Obama administration. "We don't begrudge anyone making a buck," they write in an April 13 piece, "though it is amusing to see the Clintons getting rich off the same 1% that President Obama's Democratic Party blames for most of mankind's ills, at least in election years."
Conservatives have long sought to tar rich progressives as hypocrites for seeking to help the poor while being wealthy. But there is no inherent inconsistency between making money and opposing inequality -- what matters is the policies one espouses while doing both. If Clinton was calling for policies that enriched the 1 percent while making money hand over fist and decrying inequality, the Journal might have a point. But there is no evidence that is the case.
Clinton is not currently a candidate for office, and thus has not fleshed out a detailed policy platform. But a cursory review of her rhetoric and proposals from her 2008 presidential run shows that she both called attention to inequality and put forward policies intended to reduce it -- including tax increases that would have hit her own family.
In a 2007 speech laying out her vision of "shared prosperity," Clinton explained the need to "solve this growing problem of inequality" with "a new vision of economic fairness and prosperity for the 21st century." Her proposals included "return[ing] to the income tax rates for upper-income Americans that we had in the 1990s" as well as increased access to early childhood and college education, more support for job training, increasing the minimum wage, and increasing access to health care.
At the time, Bill and Hillary Clinton had made between $10 million and $20 million for the last several years, meaning that the tax increases Hillary Clinton was proposing would have impacted her own bottom line.
By contrast, while often speaking of the need to help the middle class, Sen. John McCain in 2008 and Gov. Mitt Romney in 2012 both put forward tax proposals that would have given huge tax breaks to wealthy families like their own.
It's those policies that are the key in determining hypocrisy, not personal wealth alone.
