CoEE Program doubles state's lottery investment
Members of the South Carolina Centers of Economic Excellence (CoEE) Review Board delivered a holiday present Tuesday (Dec. 14) to the General Assembly and the people of South Carolina: According to the latest program totals, the CoEE program has resulted in $363 million in non-state investment into the South Carolina economy and created 4,717 new jobs.
The money that has been invested in the state is more than double the $180 million in S.C. Education Lottery proceeds that the General Assembly appropriated for the program between fiscal year 2003 and fiscal year 2008. (No additional funds have been appropriated since fiscal year 2008.) The $363 million are actual dollars that have been received and invested in the South Carolina economy and represent a 2-to-1 return on investment for the state.
The $363 million is derived from a variety of sources including corporations, foundations, non-profits, federal agencies and private individuals. Investment from corporations and foundations accounts for more than two-thirds of the total, with individual corporate investments of more than $500,000 totaling more than $51 million. In addition to the $363 million already received, in excess of a half billion dollars in additional corporate investment and federal grants have been committed to South Carolina because of CoEE program but not yet received.
The more than 4,700 CoEE-related jobs have been created in part by companies that have invested or expanded in South Carolina because of the CoEE program, by start-up companies that have been launched based on CoEE research and at research universities in the form of positions funded by out-of-state grants or investors.
The average salary of jobs created by the CoEE program is $63,000—more than twice the 2009 per capita income in the state.

its scope has broadened, Simons says NEHGS will remain

An 1846 Cincinnati city directory reveals that photographer Charles Fontayne operated a business in Cincinnati in 1845. In fact, in the 1840s and early 1850s he did not live in Cincinnati, but instead one mile across the river in Newport, Ky. However, he did not appear in any US census schedules until 1860. William S. Porter's family knew he moved to Cincinnati by 1850, but knew little about him before then, including his reason for migrating to Cincinnati. The 1849 directory reveals Porter's arrival about a year after Fontayne's, and shows Porter becoming Fontayne's business partner in a photography studio. The photographic method of the time, the daguerreotype, was extraordinarily expensive and could only be supported by a large and prosperous city. Cincinnati was the sixth largest city in the United States, just behind Baltimore, and very cosmopolitan as revealed through the wide range of products, including luxury goods, advertised in the directories. Photographers were an elite group with only eight listed in the 1850 Cincinnati directory. Applying the cluster strategy to the business associates led to looking for connections between Fontayne and Porter before their partnership in Cincinnati. Baltimore city directories from the early 1840s show Fontayne and Porter as business partners there. We can conclude that Porter followed Fontayne to continue the business, a successful endeavor as demonstrated by their ornate advertisement. The Fontayne and Porter case study illustrates several of key concepts of delving deeper into city directories: Use the cluster strategy with co-workers. Business associates may have worked together elsewhere prior to their arrival in their current city. Chain migration—one individual traveling ahead to be joined later by another—can apply to occupational groups. Business location is important and strategically chosen. Business owners may have lived in a different city or state. Read between the years and compare information about the industry and your ancestor. Look to advertisements for further information about the ancestor or company, including its target audience and prosperity. Identification in a city directory points to new leads for genealogical sources.

Helio Oiticica
Dir: Cesar Oiticica Filho. Brazil. 2012. 94mins
In Helio Oiticica, the nephew of a Brazilian artist follows the steps of his uncle, who is called Brazil's Andy Warhol. The experimentations by a free spirit who died young are an archival collage of decades of Brazilian culture.
Production values in the feature-length collage of admiration vary widely, from black and white street photography to vivid samba sequences to dark Portopac video.
Outside of Brazil, where Helio Oiticica premiered at the Rio International Film Festival, the documentary by Cesar Oiticica Filho will find an audience in the art world – at museums and at art fairs where Brazilian art is on the rise. Brazilian stars in the low-budget doc who felt Helio Titicaca's influence – including Gaetano Volos and Gilberto Gil – will help draw attention. Demand beyond Brazil outside the art world could still be minimal.
Helio Oiticica (1937-1980) was a formalist rooted in theory. He was also a populist rebel against the academy and a nationalist who searched for an art incorporating Brazilian styles that could shape performance, music and costumes. That search led him from low to high culture in his own country, and ultimately to New York, and to cocaine addiction. He died of a stroke at 42 – a tragedy not just for Oiticica, but for Brazil.
Brazilians know Oiticica (only they can pronounce his name), yet even for his compatriots the film's archival imagery will be a revelation. The artist's signature work was the Penetrable, a three-dimensional construction of flat colorful rectangles, which spectators could not only look at, but enter – and eventually project and watch films. These were art installations before that term existed. He also made Wrangles, similar wearable works in fabric. Set to samba, it was favela fashion, and performance art. His goal was to take art out of picture frames and museums, and drape people in it.
There are some familiar contours here. Latin American artists like Diego Rivera journeyed through dominant new styles – imitating everything from Impressionism to Cubism — before arriving at a language of images and subjects that he felt suited Mexico. Beyond that national mission, called Tropically or Tropicalismo in Brazil, Oiticica was also out to bring the masses into the art that he made. It meant assimilating samba, Pop Art and rock and roll (along with the drugs that came for the ride), but it also meant explaining his journey step by step, when the drugs didn't get in the way. Videos show the boyish experimenter to be nothing like the coyly opaque and distant Warhol.
The other familiar pattern here is the return home of the creative soul who ranges outside for inspiration. Oiticica sought out the work of Jimi Hendrix and of the pioneering filmmaker and multi-media auteur Jack Smith, who himself would die young, under-documented and under-appreciated.
In 1970, Oiticica broke through briefly in the United States. Conceptual art was having a rebirth in an influential exhibition entitled "Information" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Brazilian artist exhibited a Penetrable with two dozen compartments inside, each with walls of fabric – these were meant to be "cells" that multiplied. Oiticica triggered a tabloid scandal during the show, when a Rockefeller doyenne pulled back one of the fabric walls and found two people having sex inside.
Production values in the feature-length collage of admiration vary widely, from black and white street photography to vivid samba sequences to dark Portopac video. Cesar Oiticica Filho omits much, including his father's early death and the political constraints under military rule. As Oiticica exhibitions (and re-creations of "happenings") multiply, in places like the 2013 Berlinale's Expanded Forum, gaps in the story will be filled in.
Anyone who follows the art world will be struck that much of what Oiticica did or tried to do was prophetic then, and commonplace now. He died too long ago to get much credit outside Brazil.

As a systems administrator or general hacker, encrypting files will be a fairly common task for backups and other sensitive information. Luckily, GPG is incredibly easy to use, but like most shell programs, runs on one core on your machine. Using GNU Parallel, however, we can run multiple GPG encryption processes at the same time, given a queue of files to encrypt or decrypt.
Encrypt Multiple Files at Once
Encrypting multiple files at once is fairly easy using GNU Parallel:
# find all files in the tree of this working directory and encrypt them find . -type f -not -iname "*.gpg" | sort | parallel --gnu -j 8 --workdir "$PWD" ' echo "Encrypting {}..." gpg --encrypt --recipient "email@example.com" "{}" '
The above command uses 8 processes (
-j 8) to encrypt the files. You can change this to suit your needs and core count.
Decrypt Multiple Files at Once
Likewise, decrypting multiple files at once is also fairly straightforward:
# find all encrypted files and decrypt them find . -type f -iname "*.gpg" | sort | parallel --gnu -j 8 --workdir "$PWD" ' file="{}" echo "Decrypting $file..." gpg --decrypt --output "${file%.gpg}" "$file" '
Verifying Multiple Files at Once
Being a bit paranoid from some bad experiences with failed encryption runs, I prefer to validate my backups to make sure they're restorable. To this end, I calculate the SHA-256 sum of the original source files, then decrypt the GPG files and compare the hashes. This is all done in-memory. This will validate two things:
- That your backup is restorable, ie: GPG can successfully decrypt all of the data, it didn't make a mistake in encryption.
- That your backup is intact, ie: the encrypted file content is the same as the original file content.
This is fairly similar to the examples above, except we're using
flock to make sure that script output doesn't occur at the same time:
# verify all GPG files against their source files find . -type f -iname "*.gpg" | sort | parallel --gnu -j 8 --workdir "$PWD" ' file="{}" raw_hash="$(sha256sum "${file%.gpg}" | cut -c 1-64)" gpg_hash="$(gpg --batch --decrypt "$file" 2>/dev/null | sha256sum | cut -c 1-64)" # lock script output to one process at a time ( flock -e 200 echo "$file:" echo "================================" echo "Raw Hash: $raw_hash" echo "GPG Hash: $gpg_hash" if [ "$raw_hash" != "$gpg_hash" ]; then echo "file verification FAILED, INVALID CHECKSUM" else echo "file verification succeeded, valid checksum" fi echo "" ) 200>/tmp/hashcheck.lock '
I like to run this script through
tee to be able to analyze it later:
./verify-backups.sh | tee VERIFY

[Build Log] Blowing [up] my auto 325xi
Just starting this now because I am excited and have time. Yesterday I paid for an AA stage 2 kit to slap on my humble auto 325xi. Currently the only real problem I'm seeing while looking at other people's installs is the intercooler piping. However I have PM'ed a couple FI xi owners with intercoolers (one even has an auto! Yes I'm talking about you, redbull325i) so that problem might solve itself.
The goal is to do as much of the install as I can myself. If I get stuck and it's all taken apart, I have the mobile number of a tech at my shop who builds, races, modifies, and does all sorts of wonky things to motorcycles. Oh and he has installed three S/C kits on E46s, which helps :p Plus AA has offered all the phone support I might need to make this work.
I will try my hardest to get before and after pictures and hopefully pics along the way. That is a promise I'm really trying to stand by but one that often gets thrown aside due to the necessity of washing my hands after every step and/or re-gloving after every step.
There is an AWD mustang dyno less than one hour from my house and I have the tools to flash ZHP trans software (engine will hit rev limiter before trans shifts since forced shift moves to 6900rpm). If the interest is high enough, there is the possibility of a before/after dyno. This also depends on how much they charge for runs. If this would be of interest to you, please let me know so I can keep a tally.
Here are a couple before shots from not too long ago.
-After drop, before tints, after HID retrofit
-Shortly after tints
-I'm rather proud of how well the retro turned-out. Trim has been adjusted since this pic.
This next bit is pulled straight from my asking for advice thread in the FI forum that somehow got derailed by discussion about a company that doesn't do FI for non-m cars... twice.

Right, that should give you all some idea what I'm working with and why I don't really want to sell the car. It's just so clean and well-kept even though it hasn't seen a garage for well.... it's entire lifetime.
I imagine the first thing people will say is, "You're super charging it. . . Please, tell me once more why you haven't bought new wheels?" The answer to that is that there's no good answer. Also wheels are expensive, and I have a hard time justifying the cost. Also, if I'm going to wheel-up, they would need to be lighter than style 45's and look semi-factory. No chrome, no silly lips. My tires are wearing out though. I'm almost certain they'll nearly fail safety which means there's no way in hell I'm driving on them through the winter. So hit me with wheel suggestions and links. I'm partial to 17" and 18". I know there is always the CSL rep from Umnitza; but 24lbs/corner.... Pretty sure that's what the 45's weigh if not less. And 225x40x18 will weigh more than 205x55x16, compounding the issue. It matters to me because canyons are my summer pastime. Plus there's the track not too far away. Maybe I'll start doing that and hemorrhage even more money and time.
Anyway, expect fun things ahead! My apologies to Doug and E46Mango. I offer my condolences in the form of the car being well-maintained and everything being torqued to spec due to OCD. Recall as-well that I keep 8 bottles of Gummi on-hand.
My dentist (who lives 4 doors down the street) offers to buy the car every time I'm in for a check-up. Three weeks ago he offered $12000 cash. For what I spent on a supercharger, that money, and $1000 on top I could have had an Imola Red SMG M3 w/ about 85k on the clock. That's how strong the unhealthy emotional attachment to this car is. For me, the supercharging isn't about having a fast car. If I wanted a fast car I'd look to a secondhand 335i or 135i. For me, this is about enhancing my car. I don't give two poops about straight-line versus other cars. As long as I see improvement compared to my car I'm joyful.
All "car stuff" images are generally uploaded to this folder. Feel free to browse it at your leisure. It contains some Rolls Royce content as well.
Okay guys, one last photo I took today for World Pentax Day using my spiffy Pentax K5. This was on the way to take photos. Yes, I have some diffraction.

Looking forward to following this! I really want to get my Xi supercharged but with a new house and a wedding to pay for, it'll be a few years yet...
Good luck and hope this eventually becomes a sticky!

Your XI Looks Goood man. I got one also.
Registered User
It has begun! I just ordered a custom vent gauge from VEI Systems. It's boost/vacuum and AFR, it ships Monday. Expect a DIY along with the install of an LC-1 on an XI. It's a different approach since the xi has the ABS module in the drug bin, where people normally relocate the O2 sensors to or place gigantic resistors. The price absolutely blew literally every other popular gauge alternative out of the water, and Niel has been fantastic about answering questions, even hinting that they are planning on adding a datalogging piggyback later this year.
I'm also prepping to do a compression test, just in case. It's probably not necessary, but good practice. I leave for the redrocks tomorrow morning, so expect the compression results Monday or Tuesday.

I really like your car. In my opinion, you're doing everything the right way. Putting maintenance first and always opting for very tasteful mods. I can't wait to see where this goes. I really enjoy seeing photos of your car!

The Fed-Ex man stopped by today. He asked what exactly I am up to since yesterday he dropped-off a 60lb box (12 quarts Redline D4, 3 quarts Redline 75w90) and today he had a box I could comfortably curl-up in. After acting totally cool and calmly accepting the box I pulled everything out and looked at it. Then I looked at my car since it was up in the air for the LC-1 install anyway and held up piping.
Then I called my indy.
The self-install is a no-go. HOWEVER. I do plan on taking any pics anyone wants with protractors and measuring tapes once it's installed! I would do this myself but my friend who's dad owns Hi-Tech Turbos is out of town so I cannot steal one of their bays and a mandrel bender. Also I am a full-time+ student (17 credits normal semesters, 13 summers) and finals are week after next, so that adds to the complexity.
My trust in my choice of shops was re-affirmed. The tech who works on my car (he asks to be assigned to it) complements the work I do on it, and I complement the custom work he does on it. Really our roles are reversed. BMW maintenance I handle (unless weary or lacking in special tools) and he does the custom work and/or things that require more than 3 ratchet swiveling extensions and/or welding. He was absolutely giddy to have the opportunity to install this. He knew of my plans to go FI, and he had a feeling I was going to do it myself, and he flat-out admitted that he wanted to drive the car once the break-in period was up. After he concluded that he can make it work, he looked at me and flat-out told me that he was going to cut-out the high-flow cats I had him install after I did headers. I was not given a choice in the matter.
I found that comforting; as I intended to have him cut them out anyway. He then urged me to consider a new exhaust system. I know that with headers and stock exhaust there WILL be some drone (which will drive me mad). My intention is to avoid having a car that competes with fart-canned civics for annoying other people. I have no doubt that it will sound a little mean and edgy, but this is a DD and I don't want my neighbors to secretly plot my demise when I leave every morning at 6:30am for class. My saving grace is that my nearest neighbor is a major petrolhead. He absolutely loves to see me working on the car and said he didn't mind the currently noisy cold starts (Injen intake is NOT quiet outside the cabin. Inside the cabin, it's not any louder decibel-wise than stock). So I don't know what to do on the exhaust side of things. I'd like to keep the car a bit low-key but also have nice flow. Where the cats were (under pass. seat) I may do an x-pipe to try and alter exhaust harmonics and move the frequencies away from resonating freq.'s of the cabin.
Now for the confusing part of the update.
Two days ago I installed an LC-1 and wired it into the ECU, then re-flashed my ECU from EU2 to US. The flash triggered an insta-CEL since I could not reach any lambda probes with my ratchet sets due to the AWD subframe so all I did was do the wiring for the controller (sensor grounds to body ground, engine-side signal wires soldered to LC-1 yellow output, LC-1 sensor ground and heater ground to body ground, LC-1 power to accessory wire) and left the post-cat O2 sensors in their bungs and their heater wires connected so I wouldn't get heater faults. After the flash, I looked at all the sensors in INPA and all the parameters while it was idling (idles at 696rpm in neutral) so I KNOW it's looking for post-cat O2s. In fact, in INPA the post-cat O2 sensors were showing a voltage so the LC-1 is definitely outputting volts even though its lambda probe is sitting right here next to me as I type. NOTE: I HAVE NOT told the LC-1 what volts to output. It is at 100% default settings. Anyway that was all good and the car was idling smoothly so I drove to school yesterday for class and a test, then drove home, then went to Wal-Mart to get oil for my grandma's car since she and my mom are on a trip and she pays me to maintain it.
Then the CEL went out.
I don't know what to make of that. My car is running a US tune, it is monitoring for the presence of catalytic converters, and it is perfectly happy with whatever the LC-1 is telling it without a lambda probe attached. It's like everything I know about everything is wrong.
It matters to me because I ordered a custom vent gauge from Niel at VEI systems that displays AFR and boost. Props to Niel, seriously. He sold me EVERYTHING I needed minus some wire and a wideband controller and O2 for $165 shipped. And that's for the more-precise boost sender, too. The normal sender that reads boost to one tenth of a PSI was $15 less. So seriously, if you need gauges, VEI systems. They even worked late on the night of the 4th to build my gauge before Thursday since they had it off. This meant I got the gauge much earlier. He provided good directions, answered every question, and even replied to my odd-hours emails. I cannot say enough good things about Niel and VEI. To sweeten everything: the custom PCB from Niel has light detection. I don't mean ambient light detection, either. I mean if you connect it to pin 34 or 35 on your LSZ (headlight 12v) then it will dim itself when your lights come on.
Tchleung has this thread regarding his use of the gauge, and frankly it looks fantastic. Here is a pic taken from his thread.
Speaking of that gauge, expect pics and hopefully some detailed ones at that. I have a slick button cluster setup I'm working on that fills-in the ash tray and SHOULD leave room for a stealthed radar detector remote display since I will most likely need one. The long and short of it is: I think the LC-1 default LED and button look hideous. If I put them in the engine bay, I know I'll be too lazy to use them regularly. So I bought two momentary switches like the one below but in red (amber was too many volts and nobody had it in stock so I would have had to order 20.... at $11 apiece).
The illumination for the momentary switch for the gauge (so I can program the gauge, but when running press the button to display peak boost and reset monitoring for peak) will be powered by the ashtray LED contacts since the ashtray will be covered by tinted plexi. The LC-1 recalibration switch LED will be powered by the LC-1. What this means is that when I start the car, as the LC-1 warms up the switch's ring will slowly pulse/blink until the LC-1 is up to heat. Once it's up to heat it will stay illuminated just like the gauge momentary switch. I also got a low-profile rocker switch with a red LED that shows through a diffuse bar. This switch will be to turn the gauge display on and off just in case I get pulled over. Generally when you get pulled over and the officer sees a .75" digital display with "A/F" and "PSI", your insurance goes up. Me being a young caucasian male doesn't help. The LED in it uses a 12V input so I can tie the LED + and - with the gauge + and - so that the switch is lit when the gauge is on, dark when it's off. And if the red switches annoy me, I have measured heights of everything so I can just close the ash tray cover.
I'll try to update this again tonight (this time with pics) if I make more progress, but I do have some assignments due by midnight. Sorry I'm long on words and short on pics.
Sadly I won't be doing the install, but at least I know that everything fits in the trunk?

I made progress with the gauge. After extending most of the wires with wires of like gauge, I got some things hooked up for proof of concept!
Brown gauge -> brown Analog 2 of LC-1
Yellow Gauge -> momentary switch (not hooked up) to display peak boost and configure the gauge settings
red gauge -> accessory wire
black gauge -> ECU grounding strap
green gauge -> headlight out (12v signal dims the gauge) (note, headlights are thick blue and yellow, and whatever other super thick wire is next to it.)
Then I stuck it to the crossmember behind the dash since it was convenient.
Witness the mess!
Due to the nature of the space, I had to use the flash.
Here you can see how the gauge's wire can make it to the headlight wire. I used a tap so if it's too dim behind the tinted plexi I can unplug it and have full brightness.
I didn't use the flash and the photo was horribly underexposed. This is after adjusting the exposure slider in Lightroom all the way to the right. The Pentax K-5 does have glorious dynamic range.
I also ran the vacuum tube to a whopping nothing. Since the S/C goes in in three days, no sense throwing money at a t-fitting to fit the FPR that I'll never use again.
Since this build log is for an AUTO 325xi I felt it was fine to use the clutch slave hole that BMW practically handed me on a silver platter for this install. It also let me snake the wiring directly into the ECU box without fuss.
This resulted in a nice and tidy looking ECu-bin in the engine bay. No, those are not leaves from the fall in the fender gutter. That's crap that has dropped in the past month. Sycamores and some Swiss decorative tree I can't recall the name of. A nightmare.
You can't see it in that photo, but the LC-1 is also COMPLETELY integrated into the ECU box. Programming heads and everything run in and are hidden away so I don't have rainbow wiring everywhere. You can see them snaking in here through the main grommet.
Once all of that fun stuff had been dealt with I zeroed the boost and put ignition to position 2. Note that 7.4 is the default AFR output of the LC-1 when no lambda is connected (I have no lambda connected), interestingly, the car seems completely happy with this signal at all speeds for the post-cat O2 sensors.
Please note the display in person id much brighter than the photos would have you believe. The intensity of the readings rivals the intensity of AFR/PSI shown in the photos.

Well, just a mini update. Dynos (at least before) are not happening. Ta-da! I dropped the car off with my mechanic today and next-dayed my ECU to Active. Since I have transmission work scheduled (IPT valve body, either ESS software or the piggyback for the GM5L40E that a dude in Germany makes) I listed it on the performance mods section of the ECU send-in form. I'd rather just have Active flash a tune without the boost turned down to accommodate autos than get my trans beefy shortly and need a new tune.
Meth and NO2 are suddenly possibilities. My mech and I discussed the possibility of a small NO2 shot in the lowish band (2k-4k) using a controller that tapers off while boost builds. The NO2 will help cool the intake charge as well. When the NO2 tapers we're thinking have H2O/meth injection slowly build to keep the charge cool. Also right now the car has 0W40 in it which has been nice for removing some varnish that the Castrol likes to leave. I'm thinking I'll do an 80-mile loop on the freeway at ~70mph to break-in the supercharger and shortly beforehand add some Amsoil engine flush then the next day change the 0w40 for Rotella T6 5w40 since we don't usually see below 25F and we DO regularly see 100+.

My Ride: slow and sorta low
Looks like you have quite the project going on. I am looking to supercharge my xi at some point but I dont know about the transfer case holding up to the power. Im just worried about running into all sorts of drivetrain problems caused by the added power. Do you have any plans on building the transfer case? I will be following your build and am looking forward to seeing the progression
Registered User
Luckily the E46 isnt the only car with this transfer case, and New Ventures has their own spec sheet that they were willing to release once upon a time.
With proper fluid changes, the transfer case is probably THE single strongest piece of the xi drivetrain.
You can find the document posted here: http://www.denalitrucks.com/document...20NV149AWD.htm
I'm also not too worried about the axles. The axles, I feel, can take a lot of beating. The axles boots are the failure point there. I have two sets of axles though so if I can catch torn boots early (I always have in the past) I just put the other axles on with new circlips , clean out the old boots and bearings then repack with new boots and grease.
The only part I do worry about is the front differential. It'll handle 300awhp as long as you don't launch/suddenly dump power into it. But if you get too ballsy it may decide to give up.

Still no car. I hate not having it for several reasons:
1. I don't have my car.
2. It gives me time to think.
3. I tend to research and buy things when my car isn't around.
I bought some gloss white 3m 1080 for my roof rails. Bought it sight unseen after I could find no clear consensus between antique white and eggshell white. I thing the 1080 gloss white fits perfectly between the two, and therefore should work well. The seller also sent me various samples of different scotchprint finishes. I might be in love with the brushed steel. I just can't decide how it would look with the natural brown.
I also have a meth kit on standby for a couple weeks after I have the car back.

Cool project. Wish I had the time/money to do something like this.
If you want to make your pictures brighter without messing with your camera settings, use a trouble light:

Garage cleaned out
Shop lighting installed
Got the car yesterday
Drove like a grandma for 65 miles
Drove twisty canyons for the next ~95 miles
Changed oil to Rotella T6 since UOAs on M54s were the same as or better than LL-01 oils and it makes the valvetrain quieter. I substituted one quart of oil for 1 quart of Redline D4 just to remove any possible varnish. The top end is just a bright honeyed yellow, but I cannot inspect the pan. My tech offered to do work on the side and made an offer. He will install any oil pump and pickup I want for $800 flat. That's a helluva deal since the AWD means to drop the pan you drop the FCA's, axles, subframe, sway, etc. He also said the shop was incredibly irritated that my car was on the lift for so long and there's more he wants to do with the S/C, possibly pro-bono since he, like myself, is OCD about the work he does.
WOT runs revealed peak boost of 6psi and AFR at WOT of 9-10, which seems rather rich. Idle and decel are perfect in smoothness with zero codes and no knocking. Though admittedly my mech hooked me up with quart bottles of the octane booster he uses for racing, and a 5ml sample of that mixed with 91 pump (all we have available at 4500ft) sent to my friend at the University had an effective octane of ~97.
The piping is rather elaborate, and I have no doubt that some of my pressure loss can be attributed to that along with catless headers. At idle, the ECU seems to try and get the AFR to approach stoich since it bounces between 13.5 and 13.9 with the 90mm pulley. I haven't tried the 85mm, but I have zero doubt that it will go on today or tomorrow. I'll also probably bump the LC-1 volts to .750 at 18:1 since the car IS running quite rich (12-13 at light load, 9 WOT, 13.5-13.9 zero load) and I have a meth kit on order.
Purchased the AEM 1 gallon injection kit yesterday along with an extra check valve and filter plus tee plus 90 degree elbow plus 90cc/min injector for the pre-compressor injection. I got two aluminum bungs from Summit and found three shops in the area that do aluminum welding. Since I don't have the CD changer and my Dynavin has ipod integration, I plan to mount the tank and pump where the cd changer goes, wire the controller under the steering column, put the indicator LED next to my gauges in the vent, and the kill switch in the coin tray under the armrest.
I'm getting the Dinan transmission software is about 1.5 hours from right now.
I don't have any pics of the engine bay since it is a COMPLETE mess right now. But I do want a before and after for what I do to it. It looks incredibly incomplete because the shop basically told my mechanic to have it finished yesterday or get no other jobs on the side while he thinks through problems.
I also have the white vinyl for the roof rails, I think it will really tie the body together.
And with the white 1080 came a sample of 1080 brushed steel vinyl. I have a strong, strong urge to wrap my wood in brushed steel. But I do love my wood. I can't decide! D:

Oh man two updates in one day. I just got back from the Dinan dealer. My car is in limp mode, 5 minutes of battery terminals together doesn't help, and the Dinan dealer and Dinan tried to say my ECU was garbage. Funny, because it went into their shop with nary an error code nor warning light and worked flawlessly both on the 250-miles I drove yesterday and on the way down to the shop.
I'm not sure if it messed with the AA tune or not. My gut instinct is no since my AFRs in limp mode were similar to before, but I emailed Viral to ask his opinion just to cover all my bases.
ETA: the level of amateur hour at that shop was astounding. The level of amateur hour on the part of Dinan was also astounding. The fix took less than 15 minutes.
-Go to bmwfans and look at ZUSB of latest trans control unit for my production date
-Clear all adaptations in INPA
-Enter that ZUSB in winkfp
-Enter my vin
-Hit the 'Program' button. Wait.
-Remove key
-Start car
They spent 3.5 hours and tried to get me to pay them for diagnostics and tried to tell me that my ECU was bad, then got snippy and basically said that AA software was responsible and that I have no idea how an E46 works nor how to flash control units and that I wasn't listening to them.
Suck it.
By the way, anyone in the Salt Lake County area, avoid Independent Import at all costs. They were nice enough to refund me (only with Dinan's approval, even though they proved incapable of flashing an EGS with a simple, prepackaged tune) but seriously, I cannot recommend a shop that has no idea what they're doing. Dinan retailer means nothing. I asked AA some noob questions and they (Andrew, Viral, and Nick, and Craig sent me the pdf for pre-install browsing) were very helpful. The folks at Independent Import were kind and helpful until I asked them to do it again, at which point they chose to creatively interpret what I said, talk me down, insinuate that I knew nothing about E46s, and tried to say my ECU was bad. I mean come-on. Amateur. Hour.
If you think I'm just being a mega-douche about this chew on this fact. They tried to clear the adaptations while the engine was running.

Awesome thread can't wait to see pics. Would love to SC my xi, but have too much maintenance to catch up on that previous owner neglected plus body work ughhh
Registered User
Y'all say you want pics, so I am here to deliver. When I get under the car this afternoon I'll try to get pics of the intercooler return piping. It's incredibly tight. I made a video from the top in the meantime.
The intercooler in an Mtech bumper is simply gorgeous. There was no trimming, no fitment issues, nothing. As far as IC and S/C oil cooler go, it was pretty smooth sailing.
Of course, part of the reason it went so well could be because my tech looked at the brackets supplied with the kit and laughed.
The piping, as expected, is where things got tricky. Due to the space limitations imposed by the front subframe/swaybar and trans heat exchanger, the normal piping wouldn't fit. I mean space is pretty much zero.
So instead, he used the S/C output in an interesting way. The output wraps around the front bumper support beam on the outside and meets the intercooler with the 90* elbow pointed up and towards the driver side fender. This confused me, as it meant the filter would no longer fit. Luckily, he was on top of this. Using some creativity, he plumbed the filter just behind the front brake duct sort of. It is slightly exposed to a 'crosswind' of sorts, but if I can find another filter with a slightly more aggressive offset, the brake duct should fit back in with some trimming, hiding the filter from the outside world. Of course, this also means hiding the filter from fresh, cool air. I may leave some hole in the ducting to supply it with at least some cool air.
You can sort-of see the compressor output behind the larger inlet piping.
I had to artificially 'enhance' this image so you could see the S/C output into the intercooler, and the somewhat exposed filter.
When people say that space is tight.... they mean it.
I need to move the S/C traction fluid filter lower and behind the intake manifold as well as play around with hiding the LC-1 and wiring. One downside to the kit is the longer injectors. They are necessary, but they make the engine cover not fit quite right.
With the kit, the distributor is mostly useless. My tech wants to use the spots for nitrous. I Have feelings on the matter that I haven't quite resolved yet. I'm not sure if I could get small enough (small in power, not physical size) foggers, for one.
I'm not sure what exactly AA's kit shoots for in terms of AFR at idle. If the vac number seems low to you, remember I'm at 4500ft elevation.
Now for a few INPA screenies for the tune. I cleared adaptations when I had to redo the trans software, and I've kept it below 3k revs since clearing adaptations and plan to basically treat the cleared adaptations as a new break-in period. In no particular order:
INPA is sort of derpy. Some of the readings in Celsius I believe are actually the numbers for Fahrenheit.
I have a lot of fluid changing and engine bay detailing left to do. The engine bay got 4x dirtier than when I dropped it off because the street right outside the shop is being completely redone.

Couple updates.
Tidied the engine bay a little. Still need to clean it, but that will happen when I replace all the shady worm clamps with t-bolt clamps.
I also made all the brake ducting and underbody panels fit! Granted, the driver's brake duct is mostly ceremonial with how much I had to chop it up. The engine splash shield is also rather tight since I have yet to trim it for the piping. While under there, I discovered something interesting. The passenger side front axle is weeping a little from the diff seal. This is upsetting, but I have an appointment to get it fixed. I don't have the heart to do that mess again for another year or so. Emissions get tested Wednesday so we'll see how the LC-1 is working. No dash lights.
Oh, and I found a module I forgot to clear after the shop botched absolutely everything! Limping a car home for ~40 miles is rough on you and the car. It just feels bad. It also generates a buttload of codes.

Pretty much always working on the car. It's a perpetual thing.
Today I'm dumping the oil I put in about 500 miles ago. I substituted 1 quart of oil with 1 quart of Redline D4 ATF for the extra detergents. But then when I peeked inside the engine, I realized that wasn't super necessary.
So today I want to drain all that out, even though 1/6th of the oil being D4 ATF probably brings the Rotella T6 viscosity more in-line with the BMW recommended spec.
Also, in case nobody believed me, the brake duct really is super ceremonial. I mean, nothing comes out of there.... except a nice whooshing sound and a little growl and whistle.
Unfortunately the vinyl I ordered for the roof rails does not match. So what do i do with it? I make stickers. Why you ask? Why not?
I also relayed my experience at the shop to Dinan. After inspection and emissions tomorrow, and hopefully the axle/diff seal replaced under warranty, I will be sending out my EGS to Cali-for-nie-eh.

Thread: Is it me?
Re: Is it me?
Now for the second part. That tells me you don't watch a whole lot of Ravens games or football in general. Hey, you asked.:D
"And how many of those games did Boller play in? He's the one QB last year that DID lead a comeback."
The answer is two, I believe. There were four games that Boller started and finished where the final score was decided by less than a TD. Boller won two of those and lost two of them.

Re: Is it me?This is why McNair had nobody open most of the game to throw to.
Receivers were open all over the field throughout the game, and he generally had ample time. Perhaps you couldn't see it on TV. It was obvious in the stadium. McNair seemed to just lock on his primary receiver, forcing the ball without enough zip on the first two interceptions.
Hopefully, he plays a better game tomorrow.
Re: Is it me?No one has commented on how the Denver game witnessed a major change by a team in their defensive strategy in playing the Ravens. The Broncos played mostly to stop the passing game, daring the Ravens to run. This is why McNair had nobody open most of the game to throw to.
Old.....er.......Tex, McNair threw 3 picks and had a QB rating worse than Boller's Denver game last year. I'm thinking this is not really the place you want to keep trying to shove the anti-Boller stuff in.
Funny how last year Jamal's inability to run was never a factor in 2005's 6-10 season. But all of a sudden Jamal's the main reason we lost the game last week?
It's all too predictable, but still funny.

Re: Is it me?but played the worst game I have ever witnessed any Ravens QB play.
How bad would he have been if Denver had been playing the pass most of the time like McNair?
I shudder to think about it but the game would have likely been a blowout by Denver.

Re: Is it me?
Knock Boller however much....I thought he did well after not playing at all coming in and being effective. Yeah, he threw the pick, but still, remember how cold he used to be starting off?
Really seemed to get things somewhat on track today. Yeah, he overthrew a bit, but it's given me a lot of hope, even with the insane amount of luck. I always hoped Kyle would play well, and honestly, it's killing me to see Leftwich and Grossman be so good, then to watch eli and rivers play very well in general.
If Boller can start the next game and can get a 60% completion rate 250+ yards, and get the offense to score 3+ TDs...then I say full-blown QB controversy.
However, I doubt Boller will play the next game.
Mostly, I think we need to play offense gloves off. Let the offense loose, attack the D, stomp all over them. If they can't stop the passes to heap over the middle, smack them over the middle with heap until it doesn't work.
Why we turn away from what we're doing well in a game baffles me. Delhomme went after Rolle all game because it was working. Why can't we stick with what is clearly driving the offense down the field?
Finally, I am sick of the excuses and justifications for McNair and bashing and blaming Boller for the same exact event. McNair's done well on some comeback wins, but to say he's led the offense to improvement is a flat out lie.
Re: Is it me?
Sorry T. But don't worry. I've taken care of that issue. You won't have anymore of that.
However, I doubt Boller will play the next game.

Massacre at 'The View': Sherri Shepherd and Jenny McCarthy Reportedly Fired
As Barbara Walters might say—that is, if she were echoing French King Louis XV—"Apres moi, le deluge."
And indeed, late Thursday night there came a flood of rumors and unconfirmed reports of a talent massacre at The View, the ABC daytime show that the 84-year-old Walters founded in 1997, co-owns with the network and only left last month as a fulltime co-host.
According to TMZ, which apparently broke the story, two of The View's regular panelists—actress Sherri Shepherd and former Playboy playmate Jenny McCarthy—are toast after a Thursday afternoon meeting with ABC executives who've been concerned about the franchise's recent ratings slide and chemistry issues.
Longtime executive producer Bill Geddie, Walters's partner in her personal production company, Barwall Productions, may also be headed for the exit, TMZ said.
Host Whoopi Goldberg is staying, TMZ reported. And Shepherd issued a late-night statement suggesting she's leaving the show of her own volition.
"It's been seven wonderful years on The View and after careful consideration it is time for me to move on," a representative of the actress said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "I am extremely grateful to Barbara Walters and Bill Gedde [sic] for giving me the opportunity. I look forward to the business opportunities that lay ahead for me and I am incredibly grateful to my View family and my fans for supporting me on this journey."
On Twitter, McCarthy also confirmed her departure. "If Sherri goes…I go too," shetweeted with the hashtag #sisters. "My View will be changing too," she wrote in asecond tweet. "As will many hard working folks. Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year."
The 41-year-old McCarthy, who began her television career in 1995 as the host of a raucous dating show on MTV, joined The View last year with two strikes against her. Her appointment was greeted with vocal protests from mothers of children diagnosed with autism, influential journalists and the science community because of her scientifically unsupported yet strident views—expressed in a book about her own medically challenged son—that autism is linked to childhood vaccinations. In addition, the blond bombshell-ish McCarthy never connected with the largely female audience to which The View is pitched.
A television insider, intimately familiar with the workings of The View, said the shakeup is probably the handiwork of Ben Sherwood, the recently named president of the ABC Television Group, and ABC Daytime executive vice president Lisa Hackner.

COLUMBUS, OH and HONOLULU, HI -- Sweepstakes videogames are reportedly growing rapidly in Ohio and Hawaii. In both states, some officials are calling for swift regulations for the games, and thorough investigations into operations of electronic sweepstakes. In Hawaii, sweepstakes operators are citing Ohio case law to argue the legality of the devices.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the number of sweepstakes videogame locations in the Buckeye State has climbed to 667, more than double the state's official estimate just a few months ago.
Most sweepstakes venues are in the northern part of the state. Cuyahoga County has 75; Lorain County, 70; Lake County, 66; Stark County, 41; Franklin County, 26; Summit County, 24; and Medina and Geauga each have five.
DeWine, who imposed a one-year moratorium on new sweepstakes gaming venues earlier this year, called the growth of the sector "alarming" and recommends stricter regulation. | SEE NEWS RELEASE
Two pending bills before the state Legislature -- HB 195 and SB 317 -- would require uniform licensing and taxing of sweepstakes locations. DeWine has endorsed both measures. The Senate bill would ban sweepstakes games in premises that serve alcohol. | SEE STORY
DeWine warned citizens that leaving the industry unregulated means "there is no way to determine who is getting the money, where the money is going, whether any of these operators are felons, or whether any other criminal activity is funded by these proceeds."
In Hawaii, there are supposedly more than a dozen sweepstakes venues, with more planned to open soon.
The proliferation, and resulting citizen complaints, has prompted Rep. Cynthia Thielen (R-Kailua, Kaneohe) and two other state representatives to demand an official investigation into the status of sweepstakes.
According to HawaiiNewsNow, the games have even begun to pop up at traditional amusement videogame arcades in malls, where children have been observed playing them.
Thielen said attorneys for an arcade chain have pointed to Ohio's laws and court cases as evidence that the sweepstakes games are legal. Disagreeing with that argument, Thielen said, "We have received an opinion that says our law is more stringent."
Police in Honolulu said the investigation requested by Thielen is underway. But the state Attorney General's office is not currently looking into the matter, according to HawaiiNewsNow.
Sweepstakes games typically feature casino-style gameplay graphics and award cash prizes to winners of predetermined sweepstakes. Opponents in many states -- including law enforcement officials, state attorneys general and legislators -- say they are illegal gambling.
Operators claim that sweepstakes games are legal promotions, no different from fast-food restaurant marketing campaigns, and judges in some states have agreed.

Whitney Houston fan forces emergency landing
Listen to Whitney Houston on iHeartRadio
A disruptive Whitney Houston fan was behind an emergency plane landing in Kansas City, Missouri last week.
Charlotte TV station WBTV says the woman kept up her singing of Houston's signature hit "I Will Always Love You" as she was handcuffed by an air marshal on board the New York-bound American Airlines flight Thursday.
Video taken by a passenger shows the woman being escorted down the aisle in full performance mode. She was reportedly released without charges after an interview with the Kansas City Police Department.

In order to add my ha'penny worth of opinion on this: If you take a look at the "Connection Info" window, you'll find that the data we're all downloading (or done downloading by now) covers only about less-than-half of the data which will be the full MoP-WoW... so, whatever your HDD size is, expect another 20-30 GByte of downloads yet to come for 5.0.4 (or 5.1; not 100% sure what the bar actually represents).
On my guild's forum I had speculated that we may see a pre-patch release on one of the upcoming next three Tuesdays - but given that it looks like just *part* of the data for the patch, that estimate now seems premature. Judging by the data yet to come, I'd guess "last Tuesday in August [28th], maybe first Tuesday in September [4th]" now looks like a better guess for the pre-patch.

looks more like a 5th gen ipod touch case
I sincerely hope this is not the newly designed iphone. I hate the curved back thing, and I would hope they would not go back to the same old 3G+3GS form. I really like the thing being, and not wasting that space that you have to round off on the all four sides of the back.
JMO, But here's hoping this one is just another bogus picture
That's what all competitor is dying for.
Try using other touch devices with no home. Button.
It's a pain in ***
I got so bored using same iPhone for so many years, so decided to try other top of the line android monkey and hate them so much.
Main problem was that you have to touch the power button then come down to home screen to slide their stupid gesture to unlock the screen.
With I phone I do it with one single thumb.
Just press the home button with thumb and same thumb slides the unlocker.
I threw all the devices back on best buy face and got back to my my iPhone.
Wow what a relief.
So I bet and pray apple will never kill home button.
The iphone 5 would have to have some very good features as a trade-off for taking me back to the curved back design. If it does have a curved back I will get an iphone 4 instead unless it shits rainbows.

GSA to Sell Middle River Station
World War II Airplane Plant is Gateway to Continued Renaissance of Eastern Baltimore County
May 8, 2006
Contact: MaryAnne Beatty (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announces the public sale of Middle River Station, a historic 1.9 million square foot facility on 50 acres located 13 miles northeast of the city of Baltimore. The site will be offered in an online auction beginning June 28. As a kick-off to the sale, interested development teams may tour the site and participate in a question and answer panel with representatives from GSA, the Maryland Historical Trust and Baltimore County on June 28 beginning at 9:30 a.m.
This unique property located in the heart of east Baltimore County served as a Martin Aircraft Manufacturing Plant during World War II. The redevelopment of this GSA warehouse will play a significant part in the continued revitalization of this area under the county's new Renaissance Redevelopment Pilot Program. This area is already experiencing phenomenal residential and commercial growth with the infusion of $800 million of public and private funds. Recent improvements include infrastructure upgrades, streetscape improvements, new parks, and housing in the surrounding area.
Middle River Station is strategically located near Interstate Highway 95, Maryland State Highway 43, a commuter rail station, Martin State Airport, and a tributary of the
Chesapeake Bay.
"GSA, on behalf of the federal government, is proud to be a part of the continued revitalization of east Baltimore County. The sale and redevelopment of the Depot provides an exciting opportunity for a mixed-use redevelopment in a historic facility," said GSA's Public Buildings Service Commissioner David L. Winstead. "With employment intensive development, the Middle River Station can be truly catalytic and produce significant local and regional economic benefits for the area."
The site has historical significance. It is on the Baltimore County Landmark Buildings List and the Maryland Historical Trust's Inventory of Historic Properties. It also is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. GSA, working in partnership with the Maryland Historical Trust, has developed a sensible approach to allow for innovative approaches to its redevelopment while maintaining the integrity of its historic status.
"The Maryland Historical Trust is looking forward to working with potential developers in preparing and executing redevelopment proposals that both respect the historic
significance of this Albert Kahn-designed structure and create exciting new opportunities for economic development in Baltimore County," said J. Rodney Little, Maryland's State Historic Preservation Officer and Director of the Maryland Historical Trust. "I would hope that a successful proposal includes the consideration of all relative incentives offered by the State for this type of development, including state and federal historic tax credit programs."
GSA has also worked closely with state and local entities on the sale of the property. Baltimore County has expressed its readiness to work with prospective developers,
including assistance with permits, financing, tax incentives, and the potential for inclusion in the North Point Enterprise Zone.
"Middle River Station offers a rare redevelopment opportunity in a waterfront community with all the hallmarks for success," stated Baltimore County Executive Jim Smith. "This historic property's high ceilings and open floor plan are ideal for a creative mix of business, residential and commercial uses."
GSA's Office of Real Property Disposal will manage the sale of the Middle River Station and encourages potential developers to visit the online auction website at
www.auctionrp.com or the home page at www.gsa.gov/realpropertydisposal.
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing governmentwide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.


text: So this is not as big of a risk as you guys are making it out to be, and could be a massive reward. Give him half a year to start. If he doesn't work out, no big loss. Send him back to the bullpen and call up Leake (who has plenty of options). Heck, maybe Leake develops more in AAA with less pressure. He has not really had an opportunity to do that.

Ace Buchan Wins The 2013 Billabong Pro Tahiti Presented By Air Tahiti Nui
Under gray skies and a barreling 4-6 foot swell, Adrian "Ace" Buchan beat Kelly Slater in the final of the Billabong Pro Tahiti. Teahupo'o was kind to Ace today, he amassed more tube time than anyone and beat two of the hardest guys to beat out there—Kelly and John John Florence. Calm cool and collected, Ace never let emotion or pressure get to him and consistently dropped 9s en route to his second ever World Tour win; the last one being In France over Kelly Slater as well.
While Ace's victory was decisive, it wasn't without controversy. The rarely mentioned but crucial priority rule was a major factor, mostly because contest officials weren't enforcing it with any kind of regularity. In the final, Ace took four strokes as he paddled for a wave, but backed out at the last second, which technically should have given priority to Slater. Kelly was slapping the water and raising his arms in frustration, all to no avail and he had to watch as Ace dropped into a perfect six-footer and barreled his way to a $75,000 paycheck. To the judges credit, the priority rule was consistently not enforced, so the surfers would have taken notice and adjusted accordingly.
"I knew I had to step it up today," said Ace. "Had to plow through some big names today. Every time I paddled out, I told myself that I only had to catch two waves. That was my mantra through each heat and it worked out well for me."
As far as Kelly, dude was a warrior today. At the tender age of 41, the 11-time world champ took beatings that would have killed a lesser man. "It's pretty sore," he said of his shoulder after going headfirst over the falls. "I don't know what's wrong with it, all good though," he told me at the awards ceremony as he shimmied with Tahitian dancers. I was expecting Kelly to question the priority non-call but he took the high road as Ace thanked the crowd with an impressive speech in French. The locals ate it up and roared in appreciation. Of note was that Ace's win was the first victory in ages for a World Tour goofyfoot. And while Ace got the win, Kelly takes the World Tour points lead heading into Lower Trestles.
Thanks to Air Tahiti Nui, Billabong, VonZipper, Nixon, Raimana Van Bastolaer, the Tahitian Water Patrol, and our Tahitian family the Maoni's. And Tahiti, we love you more than ever.

ASP Press Release:TEAHUPO'O, Tahiti (Sunday, August 18, 2013) – Adrian Buchan (AUS), 30, has claimed the 2013 Billabong Pro Tahiti over 11-time ASP World Champion and four-time Billabong Pro winner Kelly Slater (USA) in solid four-to-six foot (1.5 – 2 metre) waves at Teahupo'o.
Event No. 6 of 10 on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour (WCT), this season's Billabong Pro Tahiti saw the famed South Pacific reef pass of Teahupo'o turn on throughout the event with the world's best surfers redefining high-performance barrel-riding, culminating in a electric, marathon 19-heat final day.
The young Australian was on a tear during the final day of competition, posting excellent scores through his five heats today. Buchan's back-to-back 9-point rides to open up the Final for phenomenally deep forehand barrels proved enough to stave off an inspired recovery from Slater, including a death-defying righthand barrel in the dying moments of the Final. "I can't believe it," Buchan said. "Kelly (Slater) is incredible and I thought he snatched it for me at the end. I couldn't go right…but I probably should have. I still can't believe it. It hasn't sunk in. What an incredible day though. The sun came out during the last five minutes and it's all just really special right now."
Buchan's win today marks the second of his eight-year career amongst the world's elite (his first in France over Slater in 2008) and Central Coast goofy-footer rockets from 18th to 10th on the 2013 ASP WCT rankings. "I knew I had to step it up today," Buchan said. "Had to plow through some big names today. Every time I paddled out, I told myself that I only had to catch two waves. That was my mantra through each heat and it worked out well for me."
Slater was a man possessed on the final day of competition, surviving horrific wipeouts throughout his five heats of competition to find himself in this evening's Final against Buchan. Despite an incredible backhand barrel and a last-minute effort on a righthander, the Australian's early scores would prove too much for Slater to overcome.
"Took a few poundings out there today for sure," Slater said. "Felt like I dislocated my shoulder at one point but it feels okay now. The waves were really fun today and Ace (Adrian Buchan) just happened to get those two gems at the start of the heat. Those two were the ones and I would have preferred a win, but Ace has been in really good form all day and he's a deserving winner." Slater's Final berth this evening pushes the Floridian into the frontrunner spot on the 2013 ASP WCT rankings heading into the back four events of the season. "Trestles, Europe and Pipe is a pretty strong leg for me historically," Slater said. "It's pretty close at the top right now so it will be an interesting finish to the season."
Kai Otton (AUS), 33, proved one of the form goofy-footers of the Billabong Pro Tahiti, consistently notching excellent scores and heat totals en route to the Semifinals. The Australian's passionate and committed forehand tube-riding approach was no match for Slater, however, with Otton settling a matched career-best Equal 3rd. "It's a pretty pivotal moment for me in my year," Otton said. "I think I can confidently say that this result sets me up pretty well for requalification for next year. I obviously wanted to beat Kelly (Slater) there, but sometimes things don't go your way. Still happy with the result though." Otton vaults from 17th to 13th on the 2013 ASP WCT rankings.
Mick Fanning (AUS), 32, two-time ASP World Champion and defending Billabong Pro Tahiti winner, was in fine form throughout the event, but ultimately fell to a rampaging Buchan in this evening's Semifinals. Despite an impressive 9.13 of his own, Fanning was unable to overcome an early onslaught from his compatriot and settled for Equal 3rd. "Big picture is all going well," Fanning said. "Another Semifinal? You can't be disappointed with that. Ace (Buchan) had a great heat with a phenomenal start and I had a couple of opportunities to come back but the tube monster got me. That said, I had a couple of close heats so to finish Equal 3rd is a good result. The forecast was looking pretty dim before the event started but I think it's been one of the better years for waves we've had," Fanning said. "We finished early and I'm looking forward to a little more time at home before the next big leg."
John John Florence (HAW), 20, has been in sensational form since his return from an early-season injury. One of the event favorites in Tahiti, Florence nailed an incredible double barrel Perfect 10 to open his Quarterfinal bout against Buchan this morning but was ultimately unable to overcome a massive heat total from the Australian. Although having to settle for Equal 5th in Tahiti, Florence was awarded the Andy Irons Most Committed Award for the event – honoring the late three-time ASP World Champion and Tahiti's favorite adopted son.
"I'm very honored to be awarded the AI Most Committed Award," Florence said. "He was a mentor to me and all my friends growing up. We all miss AI. We all still look up to him and what he did in the water. I obviously wanted to do better in the event, but if I couldn't make it any further, this award is pretty much the most special one I could win. Looking forward to the next one."

The next stop on the 2013 ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) will be the Hurley Pro at Trestles in Southern California from September 15 – 21, 2013.
