first direct arena Leeds - Reviews
Selected fan reports for events at this venue first direct arena Leeds
Ant and Dec
Dont Just Watch the Ads... from Amy Donnelly, 20/08/14
Wow! A lifelong Ant and Dec fan, this show was my dream come true. The lads gave their all. We were treated to audience surprises, Ant Vs Dec, Win the Ads, End of the Show Show, Singalong Live, Little Ant and Dec and loads more. The Guest announcer at Leeds was Keith Lemon but this varies from city to city. The warm up Andy Collins was hilarious too. Ashley Roberts was a real surprise for me. Girl can sing! Blue were OK. Riverdance also put on a great show. We also had the chance to win the ads(a car, a holiday and other prizes worth £18k) I went both nights and they were won each night! The whole thing is an amazing show and Id really recommend it to anyone. ��
Ant and Dec
Brilliant show from Concert lover, 18/08/14
Had a great night at the Leeds arena, fantastic seats, great entertainment and good fun, Blue were fab and so were river dance. Loved the lovely Keith Lemon and added bonus to see the gorgeous Matthew Wolfenden and Natalie Anderson, she was sat in front of me too. Ant and Dec put on a very good show and We thoroughly enjoyed it.
Ant and Dec
Brilliant from Lynn Birch, 18/08/14
I have always watched Ant & Decs Saturday Night Takeaway but there is no comparison to the live show. it was great fun from start to finish and they have a fantastic chemistry between themselves and the audience. I could have watched them the next night and still laughed from start to finish. Well worth every penny.
Ant and Dec
Brilliant Show from Ramsay, 18/08/14
You was fantastic and it was very nice to see you as I can not get down London to shows, the atmosphere was good, I went with my sister son and neice, I did fall between the seats below thoug and hurt my leg
Ant and Dec
Funny! from Kim Miller, 18/08/14
Really liked the sketches the impromptu crisp sketch was very funny. Nice mix of music and comedy. Love the fact they get everyone involved (not just the front row seats) a gentlemen right at the back managed to win the ads which I thought was great.
Ant and Dec
A great night from Gareth, 18/08/14
The whole night was great from start to finish. Action packed and always something going on for the audience to get involved in.
Ant and Dec
great event from yvonne, 18/08/14
Had a brilliant time. My daughter Louise won the ads competition in Leeds. A night to remember. Artists were fab.
Ant and Dec
WOW!!!! from Crazy Cat Lady, 18/08/14
Great night had by all. Although we were in the Gods, we had agreat view. just like TV show, with lots of audience participation.
Ant and Dec
Fantasic show from Mac, 18/08/14
Absolutely amazing. One of the best shows ever seen. Laughed throughout. Ant & Dec certainly know how to put on a show. Keith Lemon was great.
Pearl Jam
Fantastic concert from Foxy76, 15/07/14
Pearl Jam were out of this world and utterly amazing . The venue performed okay , a few things could have been better. Entrance to venue was slow Merchandise stands had little stock Drinks and food over priced Great view even from top tier
Pearl Jam
Band came on late from Nicky Sorby, 14/07/14
We received an email to say that the concert woukd finish for 11 oclock. So we decided to use public transport. It was frustrating however because the band came on late which meant we could not stay until the end of the show because we would have missed the last train back to Manchester. All the hits I really wanted to listen to I missed. Very disappointed.
Pearl Jam
3 hours 40 minutes of pure brillian... from Dave Paisley, 14/07/14
Down to earth set and as ever Pearl Jam produced a memorable night, it was evident that The Who connection had not been lost on Edd who appeared to revel in the atmosphere and the closeness of the crowd to the stage. Pearl Jam are the real deal and probably the purest rock band touring at present. Superb.
Pearl Jam
Quality and Quantity from Hirdyo, 14/07/14
At almost 3.5hrs Pearl Jam really know how to put on a show. Playing a mixture of obscure album tracks, popular anthems and a selection of The Who classics there was something for everyone to enjoy (and listening to the capacity crowds reaction they did). Eddie Vedder did everything he could to get everyone involved, be it his mission to collect every flag in the crowd to trying to get Jeff Ament to sing ABBA he certainly knows how to. Top night from a top band. Lets hope they live up to their promise and return to the UK soon.
Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam absolutely ROCKED! from Jess, 14/07/14
You had to be there to know what Im talking about but pretty much that was the best rock concert EVER! Thank you Eddie, you are a legend!
Team Presentation Opening Ceremony
A good evening from Mrscrawley, 11/07/14
I didnt know what to expect but this was a great event. They kept it moving and it didnt feel like 2.5 hours.
Team Presentation Opening Ceremony
Amazing Event from kateb1949, 10/07/14
Great to see all the members of the TDF Teams, and put faces to names. Not all magazines and TV programs review, interview all members, only the leaders and main characters. Great night out!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Clapton
A Lacklustre Performance! from John, 10/07/14
Never having been able so see Mr Clapton before (although I have seen his compatriots in Cream at other times) I was very much looking forward to seeing the great man himself. What a disappointment! Although he had a great band with him - they were full of life, enthusiasm and musicianship - the great man just seemed to be going through the motions, despite his virtuosity on the guitar. He began with a couple of potboiler 12 bar blues (one recalled his longstanding affection for the blues) which did nothing to raise the crowd. The best section was that in which he took to his acoustic guitar, when something approaching emotion seemed to stir. This was just an interlude however, as the remainder of his electric set didnt build on this. He played a few favourites, but probably not many that his undoubted fans were hoping to hear. He hardly said a word all through, didnt introduce the band, and only acknowledged after a fine performance of one of his own songs. He played for only 90 mins, and the highlight of the evening was the performance of the support band - Hunter and the Bear. They showed him how to bring an audience to life, playing some great numbers! Fortunately, we saw The Eagles on the next evening. What a contrast - interested, communicative, lively and some great music. My brother had seen Mr Clapton a little while ago in Melbourne (Oz) and had made similar comments to mine. I had hoped he had just been jet-lagged there, and that we would see a different side - but it was just more of the same! We wont bother to line his pockets next time he tours!
Team Presentation Opening Ceremony
Great to see the cyclists from plod, 08/07/14
Poor sound system meant most conversations on stage were difficult to follow. Was at front in most expensive seats and apart from the great position did not find it great value.
Team Presentation Opening Ceremony
Overpriced for what is normally a f... from Terence Lowe, 08/07/14
Team presentations at the Tour de France have up until this point been a free event. So, for 65 GBP + an extra booking fee (per ticket) you would hope to be getting something spectacular apart from a comfortable seat! Unfortunately this was not the case. As a fan of the Tour and of cycling in general I hope that this is not a case of how things will be hosted in future. Cycling fans are not bothered about official tour songs and tag on artists to make it look like you are getting good bang for your buck. Please keep these events free, just like the spectating on the streets. I would not recommend attending a similar event in future and suspect that the money generated from the presentation went some way to address budget shortfalls for hosting the race in the first place. Im also fed up of being charged a booking fee per ticket when in actual fact I only make one booking on a website that has no human element - why is that? Disappointed.
Team Presentation Ceremony
Brilliant from Tess, 08/07/14
Fabulous welcome to the cyclists for Le Tour de France Grand Depart. Opportunity to see the teams and their reactions to the Yorkshire welcome was not to be missed. Gary Verity and Christian Prudhomme were also good to see together, sharing their passion for the event. Very moving.

The School of Engineering, Computing and Construction Management (SECCM) delivers a practical, hands-on approach to learning that enables graduates to adapt to rapid technological change, communicate and interact effectively with diverse populations and unite education with experience to form a uniquely individual vision.
Did you know that RWU's SWE affiliate is active in community service as well as in the engineering community? Our students routinely volunteer on campus and beyond to encourage young women to pursue careers in the sciences. Each year, they also have the opportunity to travel to national conferences where they present research, make connections and network to find internships.
Construction management students were the first to pilot our new externship program through the Career Center. The Externship Program connects our students to career professionals out in the field, giving them the opportunity to shadow a professional and engage in meetings, presentations, brainstorming sessions, site visits and any other activity that may demonstrate an actual work day.
Our students compete and win in regional and national competitions. From the FAA and Seismic Building Design competitions to the Steel Bridge, WERC and EPA P3 competitive design and research projects. In the last several years, RWU teams have placed first in the FAA competition, received the Intel Award at WERC two years in a row, placed first through third at the Foresight Engineering Design Contest and has won Design Build at ASC Nationals and swept all three categories (Heavy Highway, Commercial Build, Design Build) at the Regional Championship.

Environmental education for PreK-12. May be taken for MA Professional license.
Low-residency program for PreK-12 educators who work or plan to work in a school, museum, non-profit, environmental center, or other alternative teaching setting. Deepen your understanding of ecology,
sustainability, living systems, and ecological education. Take part in two summer field experiences—one in a rural setting and one in
an urban setting. [Read about a summer rural residency in Maine and summer urban residency in Boston.]
Between residencies, participate in online coursework. Take courses in keeping a nature journal/sketching, ecological
literacy and pedagogy, urban ecosystems, and more. Complete an action
research project (view samples of recent projects) in your workplace.
"For me, ecological teaching and learning is the application and/or
adaptation of any pedagogy, or pedagogies, or teaching (art and)
methodology, that helps people understand that all in the world is
nested within Earth's life support system. Everything truly is
connected. A full spectrum of pedagogies can offer multiple pathways to
help people connect with, understand, and take action for a sustainable
earth, of which we are a part."
- Student Laura Sebastienelli '14
EINTD 6040 Cities as Socio-Ecological SystemsThis course investigates the interdependent social and biophysical interactions in the urban ecosystem using a U.S. city as the focus of inquiry. While cities can epitomize the environmental destruction resulting from modern civilization, the potential value of urbanization to long-term sustainability is increasingly recognized. Students experience the urban landscape as an important place to teach and learn about the environment; study examples of civic ecology; and increase their cultural competence in order to contribute to increased resiliency of communities and ecosystems.

Back before I went broke with these AKs :grumble: I looked at a beautiful M-60 for sale at a gun show in South Fla. around 1993 I think was when I was there.
The seller wanted $9,500 for the weapon.
I don't follow sale of legal full autos now, but I wonder what that weapon would sell for at today's prices?

The game looks amusing because they have 4 classes for each races so i have many variety of choices to choose from. Aside from that the game has unique system called character transformation i really loved the idea of that.And i just noticed something that the game has too laggy when im turning my character around(maybe it is just because on my internet connection) It seems like the graphic is not that good but i think its enough for now. And i hope theyre open with suggestions so that the game will improve and (We, Players) can enjoy the game.
Have you heard about this game? and your thoughts?
Comments will highly appreciated.

I would like to inquire if your company is still doing custom work or have you moved over to just production work.
I ask because I am interested interested in building a shooting "Replica" of the 9x39 VAL. with heavy emphasis on the "Replica" part of the statement. Given how difficult it is to get 9x39 here in the states something that would shoot 300 aac possibly built off of a 223 AK platform but close appearance to the VAL is what I am after. Is kind of work still done by your company?

Jonathan Biss has appeared with the foremost orchestras of North America, Europe, Asia,
and Australia. Widely regarded not only for his artistry and poetic interpretations, but
also for his deep musical curiosity, Mr. Biss performs a diverse repertoire that ranges
from Mozart and Beethoven through the Romantics to Janáček and Schoenberg, as well as works
by contemporary composers such as György Kurtág and commissions from Leon Kirchner, Lewis
Spratlan, and Bernard Rands. Mr. Biss has recently embarked on a new project in which he
explores Robert Schumann's role in musical history, entitled Schumann: Under the
Influence. The initiative features Mr. Biss and several collaborators
around the world performing Schumann's works; music by his notable influences, such as
Beethoven, Schubert, and Purcell; and selections from his long list of successors, ranging
from Berg and Janáček to Timothy Andres.
Mr. Biss also has a busy recording career. His releases include an album of Schubert
sonatas and two short Kurtág pieces, named by NPR as one of
the best albums of 2009. His recent albums for EMI won a Diapason d'Or award and an
Edison Award. In January 2012, Onyx Classics released the first CD in a nine-year,
nine-disc recording cycle of Beethoven's complete sonatas. His recent CD of Schumann and
Dvořák piano quintets was made with the Elias String Quartet.
Mr. Biss studied at Indiana University and at the Curtis Institute of Music, where he was
appointed to the piano faculty in 2010. His bestselling e-book, Beethoven's
Shadow (published by Rosetta Books in 2011) was the first Kindle Single to be
written by a classical musician. He followed it with the e-book A Pianist Under the
Influence, a personal introduction to the music of Schumann. His blog-featuring
ruminations on music, reflections on his life as a musician, and interviews-can be found at
The Elias String Quartet has quickly established itself as one of the most intense and
vibrant quartets of its generation. The quartet made its North American debut in March 2012
to great critical acclaim. In addition to a sold-out concert at Carnegie Hall, the ensemble
was praised in The Washington Post and The Philadelphia Inquirer for
concerts with pianist Jonathan Biss. The quartet returns to North America for concerts both
with and without Mr. Biss in March 2013.
The ensemble has been chosen to participate in BBC Radio 3's prestigious New Generation
Artists scheme, in addition to receiving a 2010 Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award. With the
support of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, the Elias Quartet is embarking on its Beethoven
project, learning and performing the complete Beethoven string quartets starting in
2012-2013. The quartet is documenting its journey, learnings, and findings at
In addition to Mr. Biss, the quartet has performed alongside artists such as Michael
Collins, Simon Crawford-Phillips, Ralph Kirshbaum, Alice Neary, Ann Murray, Joan Rogers,
Mark Padmore, Roger Vignoles, Michel Dalberto, Peter Cropper, Bernard Gregor-Smith, Ettore
Causa, Timothy Boulton, Robin Ireland, Adrian Brendel, and Anthony Marwood, as well as with
the Endellion, Jerusalem, and Vertavo quartets.
In 2012, the ensemble recorded the piano quintets of Schumann and Dvořák with Mr. Biss for
the Onyx label, and the quartet's recording of Haydn and Schumann quartets was released in
the spring of 2012 on the Wigmore Live label. The group's previous effort on that label-a
disc of Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Schubert-was given the BBC Music
Magazine Newcomer Award in April 2010. The ensemble's debut recording of
Mendelssohn quartets for Sanctuary Classics also received wide acclaim, and its performance
of the Op. 80 Quartet was chosen as best recording on BBC Radio 3's Building a
Library in September 2009. The quartet has also released a disc of French harp
music with harpist Sandrine Chatron for the label Ambroisie, Goehr's Piano Quintet with
Daniel Becker for Meridian Records, and a recording of Britten quartets released by
The piano quartet was still in its infancy when Mozart made his two seminal contributions to the genre in the mid-1780s. Both works were designed to showcase Mozart's bravura keyboard technique. But unlike his first quartet, K. 478 in G minor, with its dark and stormy opening, the E-flat-Major Quartet ingratiates itself in a way that made it an instant success with listeners and players alike.
Young Kamila Stösslová was the spark that ignited the white-hot blaze of compositional activity in the last 10 years of Janáček's life. Their passionate but platonic affair, expressed in hundreds of letters, inspired such masterworks as the operas Kát'a Kabanová and The Makropulos Affair. Above all, Janáček immortalized his muse in his Second String Quartet, which he described as having been "written in fire."
The young Brooklyn-based composer-pianist Timothy Andres writes music that blends avant-garde elements with broad appeal. Carnegie Hall audiences may remember his appearance two years ago with Brad Mehldau, playing the latter's Rock 'n' Roll Dances. A range of musical and visual influences come into play in Andres's new Piano Quintet, composed especially for Jonathan Biss and the Elias Quartet.
Schumann might have composed his Op. 47 Piano Quartet as a companion piece to his masterful and enormously popular Piano Quintet, Op. 44. Both works share the "warm" key of E-flat major, and both reflect his intense focus on small ensembles in 1842, which Schumann called his "chamber music year." Clara Schumann pronounced the Piano Quartet "youthful and fresh."

Taking Paleo on the Road This Year!
I'm incredibly fortunate to be able to work from home, or really, from anywhere that has an internet connection. My job is dreamy: educating people about Paleo/Primal living while helping an honest Paleo company grow... from the comfort of my couch. Last summer, my husband and I lived in my favorite climbing area, Rifle Mountain Park (click here for pics of Rifle), for about 5 weeks out of a tent and our car. It was fantastic, and both of us … Continue reading

I'm looking for advice on getting into TEFL as a career. I've been working for the past 8 years as a university lecturer in Media (always on P/T hours or fixed-term contract), but have found it very hard to get a foot in the door in a full-time position, even after getting my PhD earlier this year.
As such, I'm giving serious thought to TEFL as a career change (I've toyed with the idea for a few years now), and looking at getting a CELTA qualification probably by this time next year (taking saving for course fees into account).
I suppose my questions are, how easy/quick is it to find work after getting a CELTA? Particularly in terms of getting a job confirmed before actually relocating to a country, as opposed to just rocking up in a new country hoping to find work while you're there - ideally looking at somewhere in Europe as opposed to the Far East. Would a couple of months or voluntary work in the UK initially be helpful in terms of this?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.


text: Alright guys- After some poking, prauding and straight up dirty bounty hunting from deadland and thirdEthree : ) I have agreed to partake in a PP1 Eyes version paint up for in fact ThirdEthree. Last week began the preliminarywork of sizing Raffs wonderful stencils using Microsoft pub. Upon receiving the lid today (a Beautiful FP CC by ASOK) I was able to begin the initial stages of prepping. Tomorrow I plan to trimming out and mounting the visor section. The tedious art of stenciling and masking out the damage will then insue. As always, suggestions are welcome guys : ).

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Is this an NP203?
For you fellas looking for more info about the NP transfer cases, here's an old article that's still out on the web:
It has some interesting discussion and data on the cases.
Is this a NP 203??
After looking at the picture on this post for the NP203, I am unsure if this is what is in my truck. I have a 1978 F150 Short Bed 4x4 that I just recently purchased. The motor had been changed but it still had the original C6 tranny and what I thought was a NP203 transfer case. It does have the locking hubs on it and I can tell someone has done some work to this truck here and there. Looking at the back of my transfer case, the front driveline cover is on the left and the rear is on the right side. Both of my exhaust lines run down the inside of the right frame rail. I am assuming that the previous pic is different because it is a chevy?
Thanks for all of the great information. My pops ordered a new motor, tranny and transfer-case to drop into the 77. I stole the 454 out of it and the thing had transmission problems...Neither of us has the experience or time to invest in rebuilding the TH-350 or NP-203 (if there was a problem with it).
So now pops is going to have basically a new truck. Truck lived in California most of its' life so it's pretty clean and rust free.
The only stuff he has to worry about is brakes and electrical, otherwise he's going to have basically a new truck.
The best mileage I got out of it was when I swapped in a 305 I had rebuilt, it gave me 18 mpg highway with 3.55 gears and 31/10.5/15 tires and a full load.
The NP-203 full time transfer case has an internal differential that allows front and rear drivelines to operate at all times without the typical binding and subsequent bucking while turning the truck on pavement, UNTIL you shift the lever into the HI-LOCK position which only locks the transfer cases' internal differential.
I certainly wouldn't hesitate to run the full time case as you will probably never realistically get much more mileage out of it, looking at one of these trucks with ANY of the NP-203/205/208 transfer cases in it from behind while travelling on the road you will notice the front driveline rotating even if equipped with locking hubs disengaged.
The only thing about the full time 203 is if the front axle is equipped with locking hubs, and you disengage them the 203's internal differential will send all power to the front axle and you won't go anywhere, simply locking the cases differential by shifting into HI-LOCK will remedy this situation.
Question of the day is...
Assuming someone did indeed install the kit into the NP203 that is currently installed in the truck...and I put a new NP203 in (without the kit)---will I encounter any problems?
If you only had the full time, it would just have a dust cap where the lockout hub would be.
One way to check this would be to leave the shift lever in "hi", jack up the rear axle, put the transmission in neutral, and reach under after locking the hubs and spin the rear driveshaft.
If the rear stops turning after only a few degrees (and taking up all the driveline play in all components) it still has the full time parts inside the transfer case.
If it continues to turn, the part time kit was installed properly and functions just as if the truck had the NP-205 transfer case.
|There are some odd hubs on this truck that you can spin a little switch on...not sure if those are locking or not.
That is definitely a New Process-203 transfer case.
There is (I forgot this earlier) an identification tag riveted on the front of the same housing between the range box and the front driveshaft that would have identified it also.
In the pic where the screw in plug is between the rear drive yoke housing and the front drive cover plate is, this is used for filling the transfer case with 80 weight gear lube, the 205 would have an intermediate shaft cover plate with three bolts there.
Does this truck have locking hubs? If so- then sometime in the past someone has installed a part time conversion kit. I won't get into that right now, but it's not really a bad thing to do to this transfer case.
Whick axles does this truck have? The front can either be a Dana 44, or a GM corporate 8.5 inch 10-bolt, and the rear SHOULD be the 8.875 inch 12-bolt.
As far as gears go you could have 3.08, 3.55, or 3.73's, and possibly some other ratio. Those are just the most common.
|here's a picture from the rear of the transfer case...can you confirm if this is NP203?
I'm going to PM/email you because it's very important I get this thing identified as soon as possible. I'm giving the truck to my pops and he's going to order a new drivetrain for the thing and we're going to install it next week.
I looked to the right of the main driveshaft and I see an 8-bolt cover. It appears that if you were to take off the 8 bolts this would give you access to the gearing that drives the front wheels...hope I'm looking in the right place.
I can snap a picture..but from what you said, I don't see 3 bolt cover so it has to be a...NP 203
I'm going to go snap a picture or two.
Thanks for the info
There is some weird crap happening with that truck, I'm really not sure what to figure as "Original Equipment" and "Previous Owner Modified".
It had "Z" listed as the plant, which I didn't see on the list of plants...so that was a little weird. VIN does say it was a 400 CID w/ 4BBL & 3/4 Ton.
Here's where it gets a little weird. I read on a VIN decoder site that 77 and later trucks with either 400's or 454's came equipped with TH-400 transmissions...well, this thing has a TH-350 in it, I'm pretty confident it's a TH-350.
Anyhow, I'll take a look at the transfer case tonight.
Quite a bit of insight here.
The easiest way to identify your transfer case, looking at the back of the case where the rear driveshaft yoke is located, focus your attention slightly to the right of that and if you see a 3-bolt cover about 2 inches in diameter it is a NP-205 (NP= New Process, as in the company that manufactured these transfer cases- New Process Gear.)
If there is no 3-bolt cover it is the NP-203 full time.
There are kits sold to eliminate the full-time functioning of the 203.
The chain in the 203 is contained within the larger of the two housings which make up the 203 the other (the front) is the range box with the gearing to allow low range.
The NP-203 utilizes a differential to allow slippage between the front and rear drive shafts and eliminate binding and subsequent parts breakage. Removing the front driveshaft, or unlocking the hubs on a vehicle with an unmodified NP-203 can be temporarily overcome by simply locking the shift lever into the "hi-loc" position
The general rule of thumb (not exactly accurate though) automatic transmissions were equipped with the NP-203, and the four speeds were equipped with the NP-205.
The TH-350 transmission was equipped with the NP-205 before the 203 was put into production for the 1973 model year.
If there is anything specific you would like to know about your truck just PM me and ask away, I have owned nearly 30 of these truck over the years.
Most likely your trucks' VIN# goes like this CKR147F followed by 6 numbers.
C= Chevy, K=4 wheel drive, R= 400 engine, 1= 1/2-ton, 4= regular cab,
7= 1977 model year, F= Flint, Michigan. assembly plant (this COULD be one of 7 plants, but most likely because you have the 400 engine it came from Flint, I could still be wrong here though.
The 6 numbers following the above information is the sequential serial number given while on the assembly line, some years and some plants started their production runs at 100001 instead of 000000.
Transfer Case Identification
Hello again.
I've got a 1977 Chevy Pickup 4WD, originally equipped with a 400 CID motor but without an RPO sticker so I don't know much else about the truck.
I'm basically trying to find out the info on the transfer case. I see that from 73-87 that three different types of transfer cases were available. According to the site I checked, only two of those were available in 77.
The RP 203 and the RP 205. Now if I knew anything about transfer cases or 4WD, I'm sure I could tell the difference without trying to dig for numbers.
From what I read the 203 is a full-time chain driven unit. Does this mean the chain is visible from the undercarriage of the vehicle? or is this contained behind a cover of some sort?
The 205 is Gear driven...doesn't say full time.
So I guess what I'm asking is---What exactly is "Full Time"? DOes that mean there is no option to turn it off? So if I had locking hubs on my wheels than I probably don't have a 203? If I look under the truck and I don't see a chain then I don't have a 203?
Any insight here would be appreciated.

Phoenix Women Cruise Past Youngstown State on Saturday
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's swimming and diving team had a winner in 11 of 16 events on Saturday afternoon as the Phoenix rolled past Youngstown State 175-123 in a Horizon League dual meet at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium.
Senior Megan Burley (Hazelhurst, Wis.) and junior Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) both had a pair of individual wins to pace the Phoenix, as Burley won the 200-yard butterfly (2:08.61) and 400 IM (4:36.35) and Wolf took the 100 (53.95) and 200 (1:56.69) freestyle races. Wolf was also on Green Bay's first-place 200 freestyle relay team, which touched in at 1:39.03 in the meet's final event.
Dana Iverson (Kenosha, Wis.) was also part of three wins on Saturday, joining Wolf on the victorious 200 free relay squad while also helping the 400 medley relay team to a win in the meet's opening race. The sophomore then corralled an individual win in the 50 free, finishing in 25.40.
Other individual winners for the Phoenix were Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) in the 1650 free (17:52.62), Marlee Kiander (Tomahawk, Wis.) in the 100 breast (1:07.25), Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.) in the 500 free (5:12.14) and Heather Bodin (Maple Grove, Minn.) in the 100 butterfly (58.73).
The Green Bay women are next in action on Saturday, Feb. 2 when they host in-state rival Milwaukee for Senior Day at 2 p.m. The men's squad is back in action tomorrow in Indianapolis at the Butler Invitational.

May 29, 2004
BATON ROUGE, La.
Dee Dee Trotter, Kameisha Bennett and the 4x400m relay set meet records Saturday, and the seventh-ranked University of Tennessee women moved three other individuals on to the national championship meet on the final day of the NCAA Mideast Regional at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium.
The Lady Volunteers, who automatically qualified a total of seven athletes for the NCAA Outdoor Championships meet in Austin, Texas, June 9-12, tallied 65 points to finish in second place in the Mideast and improve on a seventh-place outcome in 2003. LSU scored 111 points to seize the team title, while Michigan was third at 53, Arkansas was fourth at 51 and Auburn was fifth at 47.
"We had a great second day, with three victories and a runner-up finish," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "It's exciting to see the team deliver with such enthusiasm in a high-caliber situation. We're very sharp as we move toward the NCAA Championships meet."
Trotter, a junior from Decatur, Ga., successfully defended her 2003 region 400m crown, topping her own meet record (51.95) with a 51.43 performance to earn a ticket to Austin. The runner-up at the SEC meet two weekends ago, Trotter also successfully avenged a loss then to LSU's Hazel-Ann Regis, who took second on Saturday evening in 51.60.
The Lady Vol sprint standout will head to the outdoor national championship meet for the second season in a row. In Sacramento, Calif., in 2003, Trotter logged a school-record 50.66 and was the runner-up to Sanya Richards of Texas by a narrow margin. At the 2004 NCAA Indoor meet in Fayetteville, Ark., Trotter was third in 51.29.
Bennett followed Trotter's lead and bagged a championship of her own. The senior from Dayton, Ohio, rolled to the fastest time of her career to win the 800 meters over teammate Nicole
Cook (Petersburg, Va.) with a 2:02.44 effort. That mark erased the 2003 region standard of 2:02.66, which had been held by Becky Lyne of Butler. Cook, meanwhile, joined Bennett in
qualifying for the national meet, registering a runner-up outcome in a career-topping 2:03.06 as the Big Orange duo led from start to finish in the warm and muggy conditions.
The victory earned Bennett her second career trip to the outdoor competition in the 800m, as she made the trek to Baton Rouge for the 2002 NCAA gathering and placed 19th. For Cook, the berth is number three, with the first two resulting in finishes of eighth in 2002 and sixth in 2003. Indoors in 2004, Cook brought home the national championship, while Bennett placed 15th.
"Dee Dee showed that she's going to be very tough to beat in the NCAA meet," Clark said. "Kameisha demonstrated a lot of poise in the 800m, and Nicole had a personal best, indicating she's also ready to run fast at the NCAA meet."
UT closed out the meet with a victory in the 4x400m relay. The combination of junior Antoinette Gorham (Glenarden, Md.), Bennett, Cook and Trotter covered the distance in a meet-record 3:29.60 to claim a lane at nationals. That mark ranks third all-time in Lady Vol history and is the fastest 4x4 clocking by a Tennessee tandem since 1986. The clocking by Saturday night's quartet replaces a 3:31.49 readout that the same group produced to place fourth at the 2002 NCAA meet.
On the second leg, Bennett got the baton from Gorham in second place and gave chase to LSU. Less than 100 meters into her turn with the baton, Bennett had put the Big Orange in front for good. Cook and Trotter ferried the stick around the oval in strong fashion, holding off LSU and Auburn challenges over the final 800 meters. The result, a two-second victory over the host school and the fifth-best time in the NCAA ranks this season.
"The 4x4 ran a very impressive time," Clark said. "They were pretty much unchallenged toward the end of the race. We're going to head back to Knoxville, rest up and prepare for another big meet in Austin."
NCAA Indoor 60m qualifiers Tianna Madison and Toyin Olupona earned their initial trips to the outdoor extravaganza in the 100-meter dash on Saturday evening. Olupona, a junior from Orillia, Ontario, Canada, zipped to fourth place in 11.40, while Madison, a freshman from Elyria, Ohio, followed her across the finish line in fifth in 11.41. Both registered the fastest times of their careers, but those marks were aided by an illegal wind of 4.9 meters per second. Olupona was the 2004 NCAA Indoor runner-up in the 60 meters, while Madison was 16th.
"Tianna, as a freshman, showed a lot of character by advancing to the NCAA Championships in two events," Clark said. "It was also a big breakthrough for Toyin in the 100 as well. I am very proud of this team's focus this weekend."
In the 1500 meters, Tennessee came close to advancing two more, but senior Lindsay Hyatt and sophomore Brooke Novak ended up just outside the top five. Novak, from Kaukauna, Wis., was sixth in 4:24.09, while Hyatt, from Auburn, Calif., was seventh in 4:26.72. They, like 800m runner Leslie Treherne will wait and hope for an at-large bid. Treherne ranks 11th in her event nationally and appears to have a strong shot, while Novak and Hyatt are 26th and 28th on the 1500m list and will need some help to earn a ticket to Austin.
In the 3000m steeplechase, junior Elizabeth McCalley appeared to be en route to a victory in heat one of her event when she landed awkwardly when going over the water jump. The Knoxville native immediately limped off the track and was unable to continue. Her season ends on an unfortunate note, but she does own the UT record in the event at 10:36.39.
The Lady Vols will return to Knoxville on Sunday and turn their thoughts toward the national meet, which will be staged in the Lone Star State in less than two weeks.

I have drew a couple hunts in Umatilla this season, a 4th pick and 7th pick one in Dec and Jan.
I live in the southern Willamette valley and have plenty of good hunting around here, a limit of birds is not that big of deal. what I'm looking for is different experience hunting different type of country...thought it would be a cool road trip. Anybody ever hunt over there? Anything to look for? I read the blind results regularly...and have read the special regs for there.
One question, are the river blinds in heavy current? Is it safe for the dog?

When labor contract negotiations stalled in Washington, Boeing began to look for a new home for the production of the 777X jetliner, prompting more than a dozen states, including Kansas and Missouri, to prepare bids to entice the aircraft giant to relocate.
In Missouri, Governor Jay Nixon called a special session of the general assembly to prepare an incentive package which could reach $1.7 billion over 20 years. The total amount of incentives would depend on the number of jobs created.
Kansas has also prepared a bid but has done so privately. Kansas lost more than 2000 jobs last year when Boeing pulled out of Wichita, prompting criticism of the company's loyalty and longevity. Wichita area lawmaker Jim Ward went so far as to call Boeing the "poster child of corporate tax incentives."

Al Qaeda Detainees: 80% of Northern Iraq Network Is "Devastated"
One of the great pieces of information we got recently is 80 percent of the al Qaeda network in the north has been devastated. And those are not our figures, those came from the last six leaders in Mosul, al Qaeda leaders that we captured; they informed us of that. We also had a letter that was captured from Abu Zaid (sp) going to Zarqawi.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's experiences at Euro 2012 have helped him mature into an even better player, according to Arsène Wenger.
The 18-year-old was a surprise inclusion in Roy Hodgson's squad for the tournament, but started the opening game against France and came off the bench against Sweden and Ukraine.
Wenger believes it was an invaluable learning process for his protégé, and says Arsenal will reap the benefits this season.
"Last year Alex was still a young boy discovering the Premier League," said Wenger. "This year he is still a young boy but I think, because of the European Championship, he has matured and improved football-wise.
"It is normal that you move forward quickly at this age and contribute more.
"The European Championship was very good for him confidence-wise, to have the experience with other English players from different clubs to see how they behave, how they prepare for big games, how they play under pressure. Overall, he is on the way up."

|Beautiful Bailey
12 week old anxious/scared during walks. Advice?
Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice/tips on getting my 12 week old puppy Bailey to be more comfortable in public settings. I take her for a walk on a daily basis as long as the weather permits but I have noticed when we pass by people or dogs she becomes anxious or fearful. She doesn't become aggressive by any means but she tries to get away, hide or she continuously looks back. Today during our walk we walked past a children's tricycle and she was terrified but she does just fine when we go past a bicyclist. How do I make her more comfortable or confident during our walks or when she is around strangers. Like when we are in public if people walk by she tries to hide. During our walks we have only had a few people want to pet her so I don't know how to get her use to strangers coming up to give her some positive attention.
After she is completely vaccinated I hope to take her to dog parks and into pet stores but I don't want her to be freaked out. What should I do or have you done in this situation? Will she grow out of it in time or is it something I should be really worried about since I know during the puppy stages is when she needs to be socialized. Please any advice would be great. Thank you for your time!

Petrowsky: Wants your vote for HD61
October 25, 2012
Growing up on a farm, I learned the value of hard work early on. I also saw firsthand that economic pressures do more for business practices than any regulation. My family owns a multi-million dollar farm and yet they relied on free school lunches and secondhand shops to feed and clothe me through my school years. I grew up hearing that this was because farmers didn't know how to conduct business, and should have off-farm jobs as well. Government programs kept my family in poverty to subsidize cheap food in America. Despite those programs, my family farm has always found a way to implement the best environmental practice available, and become more economically viable.
My family was politically active. Because we were victims of government subsidies, my father and others petitioned the government for better farm prices and regulations. I grew up in the law libraries and archives researching how the government assumed the authority to regulate small business on such a large scale. I learned a lot that most people don't learn in college and eventually was part of a Supreme Court decision and wrote a state's rights ballot initiative in 2010.
Because of my upbringing, I have an inside view into the needs of our local economy; based more on business models than government. What is more, I don't have a single idea that can't be justified directly from the Constitution. I will work to eliminate the authority over agriculture, resources and economy conferred to the president by the governor's conference of March 8, 1933.
My solution for our forests and other resources is the antithesis to our current model. We don't need to pay people to clean up dead trees with our tax dollars. We need to take control of those lands and sell permits to people to cut dead or dying trees, growing an industry in the process. The same goes for other resources. De-regulating our resource-producing industries will have significant positive economic impacts. Existing tort and criminal laws define punishment for polluting our environment, and will sufficiently protect those neighboring mines and wells. We need to make sure mining operations don't pollute its neighbors, but the company knows the best practices to accomplish this, beyond anything government can ever prescribe.
The models for agriculture have failed spectacularly as well, caused by the USDA and the banking system. My program reverses the trend of aging farmers who are forced to expand their farms simply to survive. Other industries have adequate bank financing to get off the ground and create a sustainable business. Unlike farms, their prices received are not limited by contract markets. I plan to implement a program for our new farmers that guarantees adequate funding to start a sustainable operation, free from overly burdensome interest to banks, taxes and restrictions, ensuring a new generation of people are able to farm, even if they're too young to have established the credit needed to start a farm. This program will ensure that a significant percentage of our farm dollars that currently go to interest will instead go toward farms and the local economy, creating jobs. This self sustaining program can be paid for by dismantling our ineffective aggie bond program – which funds banks, not farms.
I intend to address Western Slopes water issue more directly than has been done in the past. Water rights are just that, rights. Denver and other Front Range entities own some of the early ones and the courts have upheld their right to the water. I intend to introduce an amendment to the state constitution that will limit the amount of water that can be taken across the Continental Divide and define emergency rationing so that agriculture takes precedence over lawns. I will work with Front Range entities to purchase shares of Western Slope water with funds from fishing licenses, and sell the shares back to the Western Slope users.
There is little argument that our government needs fresh ideas. I feel that any problem in government should start with a local solution. These programs, and others I support, will ensure that Colorado implements commons sense changes to streamline government and promote economic growth.

Don Gray explains why software development teams need three common goals: long term, mid term, and short term. These goals focus a team and provide the glue that holds the team together.
"If you don't know where you are going, you probably won't get there."–Yogi Berra
The pager tones sounded at 2 a.m. "Squad 86, car accident with personal injuries on Highway 268 west of Pilot Mountain." I don't know how much research went into deciding how loud the tones should be, but when they sound, they can wake anyone from sleep. I quickly calculated that the accident was less than a half-mile from my house. I climbed into my turn-out gear, got into my car, and off I went. I found the first patient sitting on the side of the road. Talking with him revealed another victim, somewhere on a side road. Other squad members arrived. I could hear the ambulance siren headed our way. Their goals were simple: Find the patients, stabilize their injuries, and send them to definitive care.
Similarly, software development teams need three common goals: long term, mid term, and short term. These goals focus a team and provide the glue that holds the team together. They answer the basic question "Why am I here?" Knowing why the team has been brought together provides purpose and identity. These goals are the project goal, sprint goal, and daily goal.
Project Goals
Project goals provide the overall direction and answer the questions "Which part of the corporate mission statement does the project I'm working on support?" and "What business goal does this completed project meet?" Time for these goals ranges from several months to years. Suppose your company has a strategic goal to increase their product offerings. After some research, the managers decide to create an application that uses a camera to track the user's eyes and automatically move the cursor based on eye movement. The project charter should connect to the "increase product offerings" strategic goal. Using the project goals developers can connect today's work with the company's strategic goals. Since long term goals take months to years, we need interim goals to track how we're doing.
Sprint Goals
Sprint goals act as the checkpoints along the project's path. These checkpoints answer the questions "How are we doing toward meeting the long-term goal?" and "Are we done yet?" Sprint goal time spans should be between two to four weeks. Having sprint goals allows the team to verify progress as they deliver working software. Additionally, these checkpoints allow the team to make corrections if they misunderstood the functionality required for the mid-term goal. An example sprint goal for the eye tracking application might be to find and activate the computer camera. The developers can check their daily activities against this goal. If they can't tie what they're doing to the sprint goal, they should ask "Why am I doing this?"
Daily Goals
Daily goals focus on the implementation question "Who does what, when, and where?" These tasked oriented goals have a time span of a few hours to a couple of days at most. This enables the developers to make visible progress toward the sprint goal. Problems meeting the short-term goals can bring a team together by providing an opportunity to cooperate by swarming to overcome the problem. Completing task goals indicates if the sprint goal will be met.
Hitting the sprint goal of "finding and activating the computer camera" might include:
- Query the OS for Devices
- Determine which devices are cameras
- Locate drivers for those devices
- Enable the drivers
- Turn on the camera
These tasks may be further sub-divided. Not completing these task goals puts the sprint goal in jeopardy, which in turn impacts the project goal.

Project Number: 6205-32000-034-22-N
Project Type: Non-Funded Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Jul 17, 2010
End Date: Oct 17, 2012
To determine the level of ivermectin in the blood serum of pastured horses that are provided with free-access to a solid, cooked protein supplement that is medicated with ivermectin.
Ten horses will be placed in an approximate 20-acre pasture and allowed to freely range the entire area. A single tub containing an ivermectin-medicated protein block will be placed inside a central penning area supplied with water. The protein block will be weighed prior to allowing equine access. Once the horses are allowed access to the treatment block, the block will be weighed twice per week to determine (by weight) the quantity of material consumed by the horses. Once per week the horses will be haltered and a blood sample obtained from the jugular vein of each animal in separate vacuum tubes. Blood samples will be processed to obtain the serum from the whole-blood, and the serum will be frozen for later analysis. Serum samples will be analyzed by HPLC to determine the concentration of ivermectin in each serum sample. All data collected from the study will be tabulated to establish the amount of medicated material consumed and correlated to the concentration of ivermectin in the blood system.

BMW F30 3 Series Sedan Frequently Asked Questions - Read Me
Bimmerfest.com answer commonly asked questions about the 2012/2013 BMW F30 3 Series Sedan. If you have additional questions post them below and we will do our best to answer them. More frequently asked questions to come!
What does F30 stand for?
It is BMW's internal chassis development code. The sixth generation 3 series sedan is the F30, the touring will be the F31, the coupe will be the F32 and the convertible will be the F33.
What are the 3 Series "Lines" (Sport, Modern and Luxury)?
BMW completely changed around the packages and options and the way you buy the car for the F30. You select a line that reflect you and the car 'charter' you want from your 3 series. Each line has line specific color choices and included equipment. For example the Sport Line comes with sport suspension. See our Lines explained in photos thread for more details.
BMWUSA.com Configurator seems to be missing options?
BMW has still not resolved issues with the configurator. It gives you a good idea of how you can Line, Package and Option your F30 but does have some flaws. For example the 328i Sport Line defaulty (based on pricing) adds the M Adaptive suspension dampeners but doesn't list the option anywhere. For the complete options reference the complete BMW F30 ordering guide
Is there an Naturally Aspirated (non turbo) engine option?
No. The two main engine options in the US are the N20 inline 4 cylinder twinpower turbo engine making 245 horsepower for the 328i and the N55 inline 6 cylinder twinpower turbo engine making 300 horsepower for the 335i.
Will my car have a front license plate mount from the factory?
Car produced from November 2011 through mid-January 2012 had a factory installed front plate mount. Starting mid-January BMW eliminated the rather large front plate mount and started producing a more typical front plate holder. The new front plate holder will be shipped with the car to be installed by your dealership. If you don't want it installed make sure you tell your dealer sale person before your car gets to the dealer. More info and pictures of the different plate frames here
What are the brakes on the F30?
The 328i has single piston floating calipers on all four wheels. 335i gets upgraded to 4 piston fixed caliper up front and single piston floating caliper in the rear. For complete brakes specs see the F30 Complete Specifications thread
Is the F30 sedan chassis stiffer then the E90 sedan chassis?
Yes, the F30 sedan is 30% stiffer then the E90
Is the US getting F30 diesel models?
There will not appear to be a diesel 2013 model at this time but we know BMW is considering adding them. No official word yet, I don't think BMW has decided which way they're going to go. The E90 diesel models sold reasonably well but not great and the Active Hybrid 3 offers great gas mileage for those that looked to diesel for the MPG. What is telling is that there is no F10 5 series diesel yet either, and the F10 has been out for over a model year now. It's possible BMW is simply working on a new diesel engine to offer in both the F30 and F10, for now we will have to wait and see.
Is the wagon/touring coming to the US?
Yes, the touring will arrive in US dealerships in the spring of 2013. Get more information on the 2013 BMW F31 Touring from the press release. Stay tuned for US specifications and pricing.
When can I get an F30 Active Hybrid 3?
Active Hybrid 3 series will start arriving in the US in September of 2012 as 2013 model years.
Can I order a BMW Individual F30 (custom exterior/interior colors)?
BMW has not released the BMW Individual catalog yet. There are more colors becoming available on the F30 starting with March 2012 production. Sometime after that seems reasonable.
How are the run flat tires on the F30?
The F30 uses the third generation run flat tires, which are a massive improvement over previous run flats. The weight of the wheel and tires is now comparable to standard tires and the road noise and 'banging' over bumps is eliminated. If you didn't know they were run flats you probably could not tell.
Will DCT (Double Clutch Transmission) be offered as an option?
Not in the near term (2012-2014). BMW says the 8 speed automatic sports transmission offers the same performance. And for now BMW wants to keep DCT for M cars only (the F80/F81/F82/F83 M3 will have DCT). I wouldn't be surprised if BMW offered it on a "IS" or "performance" package some time in the future but that is years off.
Will we see new engines in the near future, like what happened with the E90?
No. The N20 4 cylinder is a brand new motor and the N55 6 cylinder started going into cars in 2009. They're both new engines, unlike the motors in the 325/330 E90 sedans. Will we see a power bump, perhaps through BMW M Performance Parts? I would say it is likely, but power increases are something BMW tends to hold back and release to keep the model fresh. I wouldn't expect power increases from BMW for at least a year. Aftermarket tuners will have power for you much sooner!
Will we see a power bump in the 6 cylinder N55 powered 335i?
No. The N55 will retain the current 300 horsepower, 300 foot pounds of torque at least until the 2014 model year. BMW may offer a power kit sooner.
What is the default Driver Experience mode (Eco-pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport+)?
The F30 defaults to Comfort driving mode each time the car is restarted. Annoyingly it does not remember your driving mode and there is no way to set a default.
Can I set my default Driving Experience Mode - i.e. I always want to be in Sport Mode?
No, the car defaults to Comfort Mode each time the car is restarted. There is no way to change the default mode.
What BMW M Performance Parts are going to be available for the F30?
Intitially BMW M Performance Parts for the F30 will be limited. BMW is launching with -
The initial parts will go on sale mid-March 2012. More parts will be rolled out with 2013 model year mid-summer 2012.
BMW xDrive All Wheel Drive F30 Frequently Asked Questions
When will all wheel drive / xDrive be available on the F30?
Both 335i and 328i will be available in all wheel drive xDrive starting July 2012. Manual transmission will likely be available on the 328i xDrive, don't count on it for the 335i xDrive.
Can I get an xDrive in manual transmission
Manual transmission is a likely option on the 328i. 335i will be 8 speed automatic only.
Will sport suspension be offered on xDrive 328i/335i?
Yes. You will be able to get sport suspension but it will not lower the ride height.
Will M Adaptive Sport Suspension will variable dampers be available on xDrive 328i/335i?
Yes. You will be able to add the M Adaptive dampers.
M Sport Package Frequently Asked Questions
When can I get an M-Sport Package F30?
2013 F30 3 series sedans will start coming off the production line with the M sport package in July 2012 for August 2012 delivery. If you want one get your order in soon to get the first production spots.
What comes on the M Sport Package?
The M Sports Package is a visual, aerodynamic and interior upgrade package that includes -
Will the M Sport increase the power for the 328i or 335i?
No. The M Sport is basically an aerodynamics and aesthetics package only. It does include increase cooling capabilities, the same as the Sport Line.
What are the M Sport brakes?
The M Sport Brakes will be a stand alone option for the M Sport or Sport Line. The 335i gets upgraded 4 piston fixed caliper and 14.6" rotors in the front and two piston fixed calipers over 13.6" rotors in the rear. The 328i M Sport brakes are smaller then the 335i. The front rotors are 13.4", rears are 13.6", despite the smaller rotors the 328i gets the fixed 4 piston front and 2 piston fixed rear calipers. The brakes come painted blue, no choice on the color.
No fog lights on the M Sport for the US, why?
The US has a greater range of climates then Europe and US drivers take their car to the track more then their European counterparts. To make sure the F30 M Sport can perform in all US conditions the fog lights were removed to increase cooling air to the radiators, intercooler and oil cooler.
Does the M Sport come standard with M Adaptive suspension?
No, it will be an option. Pricing is $900.00 for the option.
Does the M Sport come standard with M Sport Brakes ?
No, it will be an option. Pricing is TBD.
More frequently asked questions to come!

Also, the website configuartor is ****ed up, and missing optoins
Awesome list, it answered some questions I had and others I didn't even think of. Thanks for your effort Tim!
Do not fold, staple, or mutilate. Void where prohibited.
The horsepower number for the N20 is incorrect as stated (245). Should be 240.
"BMW had decided" -> "BMW has decided".
"increase cooling capabilities" -> "increased cooling capabilities".

End of the day I think 240 or 245 are underrated numbers from BMW. Check out these dynos if you haven't already -
InsideLine Dynos a 2012 328i and gets an amazing 240 horsepower & 257 foot pounds of torque at the wheels
EAS Dynos a 2012 Mineral Gray BMW F30 328i and gets 226 horsepower and 230 foot pounds of torque at the wheels
Thanks for the info. Do you think the xdrive will enter production at the beginning of July, like, say, July 1st? Ideally I'd like to take delivery in Germany on July 30th. I'm wondering how long it usually takes them to switch over from the 2012 model year to 2013.
My guess is they won't offer them that early for some reason, but I'd check with a dealer to see if they can get you an allocation.
I thought it was due to the official launch date being Feb. 11, and they were busy churning out cars so each dealer had some on their lots by then. It still doesn't fully explain the 2 additional week delay after launch, but I was assuming the xdrives won't have a launch of their own, and they would be made available soon after production. What has BMW done in the past?
Thanks for the information it was really helpful.
When you say that the XDrive is available in July, does that mean that they are available for ORDER in July, or will start shipping in july?
I desperately need to replace my 09 335 x drive that went off lease. I am so desperate that I test drove a C 300 4Matic (weak).

Spoke to my dealer about a F30 Luxury 335ix, for European Delivery, he told me that he would accepting orders August 13! Would like to know if this sounds OK.
powertrain and technology
Am I correct in assuming that the new (F30)335i coupe will be no different than the current (E90) in the powertrain and technology department. I really want to buy a new coupe, but seeing how these will not appear until 2013 I am close to pulling the trigger on a used 2011 coupe. I know the new 328 is getting a different engine, but it sounds to me like the new 335i coupe engine will be no different than the 2011 model engine? Can someone set me straight?
Is the full owner's manual available online anywhere? Would be an interesting read...

M Brakes
Thanks for the update. Good info.
A question, what will the M brakes do for stopping distance? Also I have seen published articles saying the stopping distances of the F30 328i from 60-0 mph varying from 107 to 117 feet. The first is very good and the latter average. Can anyone give me better information. If the M brakes only give me better performance on the track with less fading I am not sure I need it. I drive conners quickly but do it smoothly without using heavy braking. Still I appreciated the ability to stop in the minimum amount of distance. I have Bremco brakes on my Volvo V70 R and I like them.
Great Post Tim Thanks for all the work.
I was wondering if the three lines (Sport, Modern and Luxury) be available on the Activehybrid3.
Also in general I was wondering what you guys think about the 335i Sport vs the Activehybrid3.
All F30 three series are sold in lines, including the ActiveHybrid 3.
I would get an 335i sport, not the hybrid.
Just looked at the 2013 order sheet -- it appears to my untrained eyes that the premium package is no longer a prerequisite for HIDs (Xenons, in $900 lighting package ZLD) on the 328i. Can anyone confirm?
That is correct - happy days.
Thanks -- glad they've seen sense on the HIDs. Not so keen that they have taken auto-dimming mirrors off the premium package and made them standard -- not a fan of those at all.

I know, I know. It has been more than a week (a week and a day, to be exact) since the Himig Handog P-Pop Love Songs 2014 Finals Night.
This year's lineup is comprised of 15 entries and 19 interpreters. It was a healthy mix of amateur and professional songwriters. The Js from last year's competition have made it as finalists—2013 Grand Prize winner Joven Tan, Jungee Marcelo of the "Nasa'yo Na Ang Lahat" fame, and Jude Gitamondoc. Some songwriters are no strangers to the industry. The tandem of Raizo Chabeldin and Biv de Vera created "Gisingin Ang Puso" by Liezel Garcia (my LSS for the most part of 2013, haha!) and some other songs. The composer of "Simpleng Tulad Mo," MJ Magno, used to be part of the P-Pop group XLR8. I heard MJ's version of the song—it's mellower compared to Daniel Padilla's which has a pop-rock feel to it. Hazel Faith Dela Cruz ("Everything Takes Time") appears in the noontime series Be Careful with My Heart and has done a couple of 2NE1 Tagalog covers online. She is the lone entrant who performed her own composition.
I obviously have a thing for detail, so excuse the pop trivia overload.
The intrepreters are an interesting mix of up and coming singers (Michael Pangilinan, Morissette Amon), singing competition veterans (Jed Madela, Angeline Quinto) and those who have been Himig Handog intrepreters in previous editions (Marion Aunor, Jovit Baldivino, and the Phenomenal Diva, Jessa Zaragoza1). Here are some snaps from the finals' night (I just realized that I wasn't able to take photos of all the participants #OCproblems):
My bet from #TeamSarah in The Voice of the Philippines season 1. She showed off her vocal chops with her range runs and whistle in this track.
It's Michael Pangilinan's time to shine with one of the more experimental entries this year.
- She participated in Himig Handog some years back with "Hindi Na Bale" [↩]

The transfer of Alex Song to Barcelona has been completed for an undisclosed fee.
Song joined Arsenal in 2005 from French side SC Bastia, initially on loan, and his move was made permanent a year later. He went on to make a total of 204 appearances for the Gunners.
The 24-year-old, who played predominantly as a defensive midfielder for Arsenal, was also an able deputy in defence when required. He demonstrated his offensive qualities last season too, providing 14 assists in all competitions and scoring once.
A Cameroon international, Song has represented his country in the 2008 and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was also part of the Cameroon squad to play in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Alex for his contribution to the Club and wish him the best of luck for the future.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Can anyone help me I rely want to now how to make a bossk mask, bossk arms and bossk feet.
this halloween or on ebay or something, go find a lizard mask for starters. using heat to melt, some bondo in all the right places, and glass eyes, i think the mask may be the easiest part. as for the arms, THAT will be hard since itll need to be flexible to move in.....maybe some modded rubber oven mits. idk. never had to make a lizard based costume before.
......youd think i wouldve by now tho....odd.
Bossk is a little more than just a "lizard" mask. He has a very specific look to him and his scales look more like a tortoise than a lizard.
i actually agree with muad'did on this...theres this rubber like supstance people call it dragon skin cause it has the same texture when it dries almost like a tortoises skin maybe you can use that to coat a pair of longer glowes...just a suggestion
lol i know theres more than just any old mask, but having a good base mask and then bondo-ifying it could work out with enough time and patience.
but then again i like bacta's answer best here. ignore this nub *points to self* i have to bow out to a genius.
I recommend you go to the BHG, Bossk section, also the RPF Bossk posts, and the ones here as well.
I have posted how I made my Bossk on all three sites. I have only had my Bossk finished for about five months, and people have gone crazy over it. It won the "Best Star Wars Villain" at Celebration V last month, and the "Best Star Wars Character" at DragonCon last week. The Actor, Alan Harris, who played Bossk originally, was very impressed with the costume at Celebration V, and said it was the best he had ever seen.
There are five Bossk masks I am aware of, besides scratch built ones. The are occasionally offered for sale on the RPF and Ebay. A realistic Bossk is a very complex costume, and it took a lot of work to do it right. The suit is a 1960's vintage, RAF high altitude pressure suit, not just a "yellow cotton coverall". Check out all of those sites I mentioned. My article on how I builtthe whole thing is supposed to be published in the official Star Wars Bantha Tracks or Insider one of these days.
i think this is a true case of make it hit or miss style.
if something doesnt look right, keep modding it.
Well Bondo=ing a latex mask is a recipe for disaster. Best answer would be as Superprops says. Buy a good chunk of wet clay and sculpt the head over a life cast of your own head. Then make a mold to pull a latex mask from off your sculpt.
Bossk's Bossk (lol) is very good. I saw him several times at CV. Oddly, I think the feet would be the hardest to do. Must be able to be small so they don't look like overshoes and be very durable to walk in.
Bondo's great for hard things such as helmets, but not so great for things where you want some flex and softness like a mask with a skin texture. When you want that, latex is the way to go.
