As for the camshafts: "Normally you can put a wilder cam in a larger capacity motor," Nowack explains. "But today's clients do most of their driving between 2500 and 5500 rpm, so I went for a cam profile with a shorter duration, lower lift and less overlap. The result is more torque, better fuel economy and full functioning of the VANOS system."
The fuel injectors are stock and the fuel rails pressurized to 7.0 bar by the two stock pumps. It turned out that the stock injectors and fuel system had enough headroom and work just fine. On the induction side, high efficiency air cleaners in the modified airbox feed ram air into throttle bodies bored from 50 to 52mm. The dirty side of the engine wears a bespoke exhaust system with Nowack headers, 200-cell cats, free-flow rear silencers and 68mm diameter pipework.
Despite the larger capacity and greater output, aside from some special coolant for the radiator, testing revealed that no extra oil cooler was needed. A twin-plate clutch with semi-race organic lining takes power to the SMG gearbox, whose control protocols were re-mapped to work with the new power and torque curves.
When a car this size knocks on the door of 200 mph, it takes a lot of stopping power. Nowack use the largest Brembo brakes that will fit the front axle: massive 405mm cross-drilled and vented rotors with eight-pot calipers and high-performance pads. As most of the braking is done by the fronts, the factory rear brakes were adequate. All the brake lines were replaced with stainless steel braided hoses, and DOT 5 fluid was pumped into the system.
To harness the extra power, H&R supplied new race-style, height-adjustable coilovers. Since the factory damping is electronically controlled, these units have an added refinement in the form of an auxiliary electronics pack that interfaces with the ECU to make it think all is normal and prevent it from throwing up a fault code.
The M5 already has a front strut brace, so when you open the hood, it all looks normal. However, Nowack uses one with slightly larger diameter tubing, while under the car the stock anti-roll bars have been replaced by three-position adjustable bars, 2mm larger in diameter.
Nowack's distinctive alloy wheels are 9x20 and 10x20 with 255/30 and 285/25 tires front to rear. The Avon ZZ3s make for an unusual choice of rubber, but after testing a variety of competing tires, Nowack concluded that these strike the best balance between performance and comfort with this suspension.
Changes in the cabin are minimal, the most salient feature being the lightweight Recaro seats. The recalibrated speedo now reads out to 360km/h and the rev counter electronics were modified to take the higher rev limit into account.
While they can be fun when you're in the right mood, high-revving engines that lack low-end torque can end up being tiresome for everyday use. The Nowack 5.7 cures that problem by giving the M5 both copious low-end grunt as well as its ballistic, racecar-grade top end.
I was so impressed that I want more-but not actually more power. You see, I'm having this recurring dream about using the 5.7 in a mid-engine supercar weighing less than 3,000 pounds.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Lakers
Via Crossover Chronicles:
We love it when the Taiwanese animators put their spin on the NBA. The Buss family, however, might not share our enthusiasm for this particular video.
Jim Buss is flat-out called an idiot (he drives around in a "short buss" and wears a bucket on his head). And the Lakers are a bunch of old, walker-using, has-beens who will basically inspire riots as they try to run Mike D'Antoni's "7 seconds or less" offense.
I think it's safe to say the folks in Taiwan were solidly "Team Phil" in this case.

It's been great for my 9th grader who has been in public school until now. He is now getting the attention he needs and I am seeing a huge difference in his attitude, self esteem, grades, etc. He also played a school sport for the first time. I didn't imagine it would be this great--money well spent.
I love the care and concern the staff shows for the students. I love the small classrooms and the positive interaction. I love the owners and their obvious love of children. I love that The Cottage School has saved so many lives of children who do not learn in a traditional school setting. I am so grateful my grandson has been able to thrive at The Cottage School.
It is a structured school with small classes
Our daughter loves this school & it has helped her in so many ways. Socially, academically, self esteem & through athletics being part of a team.
The Cottage School is simply Outstanding! Jacque and Joe Digieso are doing a wonderful job educating and inspiring young people with disabilities in their school. Their staff are highly educated, motivated, compassionate and tough! The entire faculty not only motivated their students, but hold them accountable for doing their part in getting an excellent education. The Cottage School have the state-of-the art computers, books and curriculum. Students can enjoy horse back riding to basketball on their breath taking campus. My nephew received and outstanding education and has been given a chance to succeed in life! Our family truly admire and love The Cottage School!
The Cottage School is a very special place for students who learn differently. The focus is on teaching the students not only academics but also interpersonal skills in a safe environment. The young people develop self-confidence under the guidance of the wonderful teachers and staff. My son is in his fourth year at The Cottage School. I have seen tremendous growth in him and attribute this to the exceptional values, standards and techniques which are exemplified by the school.
Cottage addresses each child and their learning needs as if that particular child was the only student in the school. Every child has individual attention and every need is met. Absolutely outstanding help and encouragement.
I love the cottage school because my child use to be an aggressive student. The cottage school has improved his critical thinking skills as well as his self confidence. I believe the fundamental that are being presented at the cottage school allows students to understand their self worth as human beings that are not typically performing on the standard level at a regular high school and/or middle school. Just because there are some children who learn different do not mean they are any different than you and me who perhaps have a learning curve.
The Cottage School provides an ideal learning experience for that child who learns differently than those in the masses and greatly benefits from a structured, loving and uplifting environment.
I love the Cottage School because the staff really loves the kids they serve and do their best to bring out the best in each student.
It is the most amazing school experience we have ever had! We are so excited to be able to attend! The teachers actually care about each and every child and want them to do well and succeed in everything they do.
TCS supports the goals of maturity, development and growth for every single student!
Wonderful environment. Teachers and staff are great at working with children and bringing out their best.
My grandson went to this school. I saw him happy for the first time.
The people that work at this school are angels in human bodies.
When the Atl. public school system gave up on helping my daughter to succeed, I found open arms at the Cottage School. My daughter regained her confidence and blossomed while at the school. The teachers, staff and curriculum proved to be a winning combination.I am forever grateful to The Cottage School for helping my daughter succeed and become the young woman she is today!
Because they do a great job with my nephew
It was perfect for my son!
Dedicated and skillful staff; stellar leadership; supportive parents; interested community; perceptive board
This school has really helped my son! He went from failing to excelling! The school has the appropriate curriculum for children with special learning needs.

Check out this article from the huffingtonpost.com written by Jonathan which states that the public is more fearful of marriage due to seeing failed marriages among celebrities. Ways to ensure successful marriages include: looking at successful relationships and model yours after them, enter 100% committed, know arguments are normal and will happen, and make sure to plan date nights out so you both have something to look forward to for days at a time.
Some good points on overcoming the fear of marriage:

More "shocking" developments: James Eagan Holmes had seen THREE psychiatrists
Quoted from WTAQ web site: Accused Colorado gunman James Holmes, charged with killing 12 people in a movie theater rampage last month, saw at least three mental health professionals at the University of Colorado before the shooting, a CBS News affiliate reported on Tuesday.
Holmes is accused of opening fire in a midnight screening of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" in a Denver suburb, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others. His attorney has said in court that Holmes suffers from an unspecified mental illness and had tried to get help.
Note that even though it says he had tried to get help, he had not been actually helped. If he had, those 70 people wouldn't have been killed or wounded.
I guess when "CBS cares", CBS only cares to show that when a multiple murderer goes to psychiatrists for help, CBS only cares to keep the psychiatrists' culpability out of the headlines.
It absolutely floors me that reputable news agencies question Scientology Inc's techniques and results, but these same agencies never think to question Psychiatry Inc's techniques and results. No, we'll let a complete maniac slip through the gauntlet called the "psychiatry clearinghouse" so he can kill or injure 70 people. Where's media's outrage? Where's the Senate investigations? I forgot: it's more important to figure out how some ballplayer got steroids than to save the lives of 12 people in Aurora or 6 people in Tucson or 32 people in Blacksburg.
Note also that the shootings are a month old but they've slipped off the front pages and are no longer in the evening news. So the media are to blame for the lack of solutions to the problem.
And the lack of Congressional interest in solving this problem proves to me two things: 1) Congress has decided psychiatry is the solution and 2) Congress can't confront that psychiatry isn't providing an answer.
If you look at the other articles I point at in this post, and other James Eagan Holmes articles at various places around the web, you'll see that Holmes was sent by his psychiatrists to the University of Colorado threat assessment team, which was formed after the Virginia Tech massacre. However, due to the conflict of patient privacy laws and the prevailing idiocy that "the insane have more rights to life and health and happiness than the sane", the University of Colorado threat assessment team is apparently only an ineffective facade put in place to make people "feel better" instead of ensuring that something gets done about it.
And where, oh where, is Scientology Inc's ABLE branch in all this? It's been very quiet. That's because Scientology Inc is so much in disfavor that it can't afford to stick its turtle-head out of its protective shell for public exposure.
You see, ABLE's so-called humanitarian activities are, by and large, set up as ways to get Scientology parishioners to donate scads of money to Scientology Inc. Donations to ABLE-sector activities are continually needed, if you haven't noticed. That's because Scientology Inc has been notoriously ineffective at actually making society-wide changes that would make life better and safer for people.
It's hard to use the donations ABLE gets to make effective societal changes when a huge percentage of the donations are siphoned off for Miscavige's slush funds. It's even harder when Scientology Inc's credibility quotient has dropped to zero.
Scientology Inc can fixedly claim to have the solutions to life, the universe, and everything. But with the increasing number of psychotic mass-murders, coupled with the deaths at places like Flag and Narconon, the thin veneer of acceptability for Scientology Inc's "humanitarian" activities flakes off more and more every day.
The WTAQ website article can be found here.

Chicago, IllinoisMay 10, 2012
Nearly four million U.S. seniors are food insecure. Many of these older Americans live on fixed incomes, and are often forced to choose between buying groceries or paying for health care, housing, or other basic essentials.
"Feeding America wants to highlight the increased and profound need for food assistance that affects so many of our senior citizens in need," said Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America. "May is Older Americans Month, a time to acknowledge the contributions our seniors have made to our nation, and to make doubly sure, that we are, in turn, doing all we can to help and support them, especially those who are facing difficulty making ends meet and accessing adequate nutrition."
"We are deeply concerned that as Congress looks for ways to reduce the deficit, cuts to nutrition assistance programs that help low-income seniors are on the table. Already this year, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a Budget Resolution that would cut $133.5 billion from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The House Agriculture Committee recently approved $36 billion in cuts to SNAP. While it is extremely unlikely that the U.S. Senate will act on these pieces of legislation, it nevertheless signals a disturbing trend during a time when the need for food assistance has never been higher," Escarra Said. "Cuts to SNAP, the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), and other federal anti-hunger and nutrition programs would make it much harder for our food bank to safeguard local seniors from hunger, and we urge Congress to protect nutrition programs from cuts."
Food insecurity among seniors is especially troublesome because of their unique nutritional needs. Many require special diets for medical conditions. To meet these needs, many seniors at risk of hunger depend on local food pantries for help. Among food pantry clients 65 and older, more than half reported visiting a pantry on a monthly basis, according to the Feeding America's recently released report, "Food Banks: Hunger's New Staple". This suggests that the fixed incomes of elderly may be insufficient to provide for their basic needs.
Here are some current facts about senior hunger:
For seniors, protecting themselves against food insecurity and hunger can be more difficult than for the general population. For example, a study found that food insecure seniors sometimes had enough money to purchase food, but did not have the resources to access or prepare food due to lack of transportation, functional limitations, or health problems.
Here are three stories of older Americans who rely on agencies served by Feeding America:
Food insecure seniors have lower nutrient intakes than food secure seniors. The health outcomes for depression, general health, diabetes and limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) are also worse for food insecure seniors. Additionally, adequate nutrition is essential for preventing and managing chronic medical conditions. Even when controlling for income, there is a large difference in the rate of diabetes between food insecure and food secure seniors—28 percent versus 19 percent.
Without proper nutrition, seniors are at increased risk of disability, deteriorated health conditions, decreased resistance to infections, lengthened hospital stays, deteriorated mental health, and being underweight.
In February 2010, Feeding America released its fifth and most comprehensive study of hunger in the U.S.: Hunger in America 2010. The following are some key findings from the study regarding the seniors in our country:
Feeding America is a nationwide network of 200 food banks that leads the fight against hunger in the United States.

Architecturally, Goodwood is one of the most unusual of England's great houses. It started as a gentleman's residence, built in the reign of James I. The 1st Duke of Richmond was visiting here as early as 1689, when he was only 17, and used to come regularly for the foxhunting in the nearby village of Charlton. In 1697 he purchased the Jacobean house.
This 'old house', as it is usually called, is now the section at the back. It was developed through the 18th century. Its main hall was classicised in 1730 by the architect Roger Morris, and between 1747 and 1750 a handsome Palladian style south wing was added in Portland stone, probably by Matthew Brettingham. A balancing north wing by James Wyatt was added in 1771, although this was partly taken down in the late 1960s owing to dry rot.
The great Regency state apartments at Goodwood House were added to Brettingham's south wing from 1800 by the architect James Wyatt, together with the round towers. These wings and towers are in flint, an unusual material for a house of this size, which looks wonderful in the early morning or evening light, in the hoar frost or snow. The new large rooms were intended for entertaining and are used as such to this day. They house the earlier art collection, collected through the late 17th and 18th centuries, much of which had previously adorned Richmond House, the family's London home. This town house was destroyed by fire in 1791.
Goodwood House looks like three sides of an octagon, and it used to be thought that it was intended to build the complete figure, but this has never been proved. It is not known what the intentions were when this somewhat picturesque shape was devised, but the layout certainly works perfectly for a private family home combined with grand public apartments and far reaching views over the park.
The house has recently been refurbished by the Earl and Countess of March & Kinrara, giving it an up to date sense of the Regency, with strong colours and stylish drapes and fabrics.

Adult Fiction BROOKS
Summary: In the three hundred years since the death of the Druid Allanon, the mysterious, evil Shadowen have seized control and are ruining the Four Lands. Using Cogline as messenger, the shade of Allanon summons the four scions of Shannara: Par, Coll, Wren, and Walker Boh. To Walker Boh he gives the duty of restoring the lost Druid's Keep, Paranor. For that, Walker needs the black Elfstone, but his search leads him only to a trap. Meanwhile, the King of the Silver River, a fabulous being as old as mankind, creates a daughter named Quickening and sends her to help. She is joined by Morgan Leah and Pe Ell, an assassin who plans eventually to kill her. They find Walker Boh dying after an attack by the Shadowen, Rimmer Dall. Quickening heals him and tells him that the Elfstone is in the hands of another ancient being, the Stone King, who seeks to turn all the world to stone. The journey will lead them to the far north, through the Charnal Mountains and beyond, into a perilous and unknown land. And no one knows what horrible monsters the Stone King has set to guard his citadel.

Something about today, when i was sitting in Law class, room 318, reminded me of sunken eyes. Deeply buried from the way your bones curve sharply, forming the outline of your face. The tall, slender, put-together persona of a man with leather shoes and tucked in button-downs. Something about today remembered your name, how it's sung in a sing-song childish nursery rhyme. How when i type it in google, i can easily find you. Wearing that disgustingly loud orange two piece, with your skin sagging at the corners of the once smiling mouth, which only makes me sick to think that you're smiling out of thoughts completely unknown to an 8 year old girl. Something about today made me reminisce about all of the times i looked up to you, all the times you praised me. They all crashed into me like stomping on crackers, like punching mirrors, like thousands of metal shards piercing glass windows, piercing human flesh. Meanings were suddenly put together with memories, making me feel so fucking sick. All i could hear was how close you were, how your eyes latched into, not onto, mine, when you said "Isn't she pretty?" to the boy standing next to me.
I heard notes and rhythms from your piano. I heard music; I heard a whole new world.
You heard the young, innocent, fast-paced ticking of a clock.

Lobster "Bouillabaisse"
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Traditional bouillabaisse uses a variety of fish and shellfish. Enhanced with stock made from lobster shells, this version focuses on the king of crustaceans: lobster. If you'd rather not wrangle live lobsters, ask your fishmonger to steam the lobsters for you (and save the shells). This "bouillabaisse" is also nice (and less costly) with shrimp.

Home > EARLYTHEATRE > Vol. 7 > Iss. 2 (2004)
Article Title
This forum has been organized, introduced, and edited by Viviana Comensoli with the aim of exploring current theoretical and critical approaches to the conceptualization and representation of subjectivity in English Renaissance drama. The introduction provides an overview of various poststructuralist theoretical approaches that since the 1980s have guided our thinking about the representation of early modern subjectivities, and calls for continued revision and revaluation of contemporary theoretical applications. In the spirit of continuing debate, the three essays that follow approach the topic from different revisionist perspectives. Although the three essays differ substantially in their theoretical/critical apparatus, they share two important and unqualified claims: 1) the need to link our contemporary investigations of Renaissance subjectivities and identifications with ideologies (early modern and modern) of power; and 2) the absolute need, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, for a theoretical methodology that is politically engaged and progressive.
Identifying Othello: Race and the Colonial (non)Subject by Viviana Comensoli: Comensoli combines political and psychoanalytic theory in an analysis of Shakespeare's Othello, arguing that the play not only coheres with the Subject/Other split that underwrites Western epistemologies of difference, but also upholds the colonialist ideology that works to exclude the black man from the Self/Other binary through which subjectivity is made possible.
'The chick got in the way' or, the Woman is/as Queer: Feminism, Queer Theory, and the Unlocking of Female Subjectivity in Early Modern Drama by Theodora Jankowski: Jankowski argues that an alliance between queer theory with feminist and Marxist/cultural materialist theories contributes in nuanced and significant ways to our understanding of subject performance in the early modern theatre. She illustrates her argument in a trenchant analysis of Thomas Dekker's Honest Whore plays.
Transversal Poetics and Fugitive Explorations: Subject Performance, Early Modern English Theatre, and Macbeth by Bryan Reynolds: Reynolds expands upon his theory of 'transversal poetics' with an 'investigative-expansive' mode of analysis that he has called 'fugitive explorations,' a politically and aesthetically empowering mode of critical analysis designed to combat the ideology of the disempowered subject that various forms of poststructuralist discourse have promoted.

I adore the rhubarb so much that it is now all I wear. I have nothing but compliments and much like the other reviewer, I hope the formula never changes. It is PERFECT and I get many compliments.

Goes on smoothly. Very creamy texture. Nice color.

Steak Cake
This cake was a request from a client of mine who's husband is a butcher. She sent me a photo of a specific rib eye steak that she wanted re-created for his 40th birthday and this is what I came up with. He loved it. Now all her friends keep calling me the "steak cake lady". ;-) Hope you like it.
