Though, failures are not uncommon as early as 60,000 miles. Expect to replace the S54 water pump every 100,000 miles. You can enjoy this car at 40 mph and 140. It’s also much lighter than later M3s, and hydraulic-assisted power-steering give actual feedback through the wheel. How good is the E46 M3?Ĭompliant and comfortable, but firm enough to keep body roll to a minimum, the E46 M3 is definitely more fun to drive on the street than the F80 or G80. “Sporty model of BMW car” is the most common definition for M3 on Snapchat, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. This is arguably the best-sounding M3 ever made. Purpose-built for the M3, the 4.0-liter V-8 offers up 414 horsepower and an 8400-rpm redline. Generation Four (E90): 2008-2013 The fourth-gen M3 brought the V-8 engine to the M3. Does E46 M3 have carbon roof?ħ Carbon Fiber Roof The E46 M3 was the first M3 to come with a carbon fiber roof as standard in the CSL model to save weight and lower the car’s center of gravity. Interestingly, it has an electronically governed max speed of 155 mph (250 kph), though, obviously, the example from the video reaches speeds well above that limit. The M3 makes two runs on the dyno – one in regular mode and one in Sport. Since then, people considered the E46 generation as the greatest M car built due to its simplicity, appeal, and just overall design of it all. It had a high-revving inline-6 engine, and lightweight construction, capturing the essence of the iconic BMW M3 E30.

“Honestly, Aaliyah said she didn’t care how long, because she didn’t want to go to that school anyway,” her mother said. Aaliyah spent that time playing and sitting around the house. Aaliyah missed the first three weeks of the school year last fall because of delays obtaining transcripts, and Ibarra insisted she not start the year without a plan to address her delays in reading and writing. Once the family moved, enrolling in school was far from easy. Federal counts of homeless people living on the street or in shelters also appeared to decrease in 2021 due to pandemic disruptions, but by 2022, those numbers shot up to the highest in a decade. But the decrease, representing more than 288,000 students, likely includes many kids whose homelessness was unknown to schools. The number of children identified as homeless by schools nationwide dropped by 21% from the 2018-2019 school year to the 2020-2021 school year, according to federal data. Many education leaders, Duffield said, don’t even know about federal money earmarked for homeless students - and the programs expire next year. “There is urgency because of the losses that have occurred over the pandemic - loss in learning, the gaps in attendance and the health crisis,” she said. Schools are offering tutoring and counseling but now have limited time to spend federal pandemic relief money for homeless students, said Barbara Duffield, executive director of SchoolHouse Connection, a national homelessness organization. As students nationwide have struggled to make up for missed learning, educators have lost critical time identifying who needs the most help. Not being identified as homeless meant students lost out on eligibility for crucial support such as transportation, free uniforms, laundry services and other help. Homeless students often fell through the cracks during the tumult of the pandemic, when many schools struggled to keep track of families with unstable housing. Zoom school was especially difficult for Aaliyah because she was homeless - and like thousands of students nationally, her school didn’t know. Teachers complained she was not looking at the screen and took too many breaks. Unfamiliar with a computer, Aaliyah was regularly kicked out of the virtual classroom, her mother said. The family’s struggles coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic that forced Aaliyah to begin her school experience online. “I just didn’t know what letters were which,” says Aaliyah, now 9. “She would sing the song in order, but as soon as I mixed them up, she had no idea.” I would point them out and she didn’t know,” Bridget Ibarra said. “She was in second grade and couldn’t tell me any of the letters. As she was about to start a new school, her mother, Bridget Ibarra, saw how much it was affecting her education.Īt 8 years old, her daughter did not know the alphabet. Tuesday, October 10th, following the 2pm performance on Gilliam Stage.PHOENIX (AP) - By the time Aaliyah Ibarra started second grade, her family had moved five times in four years in search of stable housing.

When Rooney Mara makes a sharp appearance as Theo’s ex-wife, her incredulousness at his inability to date a real woman is both a relief and off base. Theodore and Samantha’s problems are normal-affections don’t always align, or the two project too much onto each other-and singular: for instance, the fact that Samantha has no physical body. What follows is a relationship drama that’s complicated, meaty, and challenging in its implications. He’s happy to comply, showing her his world as if it were new to him too. Spike Jonze is famous for his high-concept films like Being John Malkovich or Where the Wild Things Are that use very unorthodox premises to provide for real and relevant insight into the human mind and/or soul, as it relates to connective thread of life experience. The first trailer for Spike Jonze’s new movie Her was released last week and generated a rush of positive buzz. Her job is to keep track of Theo’s affairs, but Samantha is interested in more, being curious about Twombly as her link to the corporeal. The facts are these: in a not-so-distant-future Los Angeles, Theodore upgrades his OS from the generic to “Samantha” (voiced by Scarlett Johansson, in her trademark tones), artificially intelligent and with a constantly evolving understanding of the world. Jonze to create a line to be introduced in his stores this week, one that echoes. Improbable, yes, but Jonze treats the affections of Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix, a manchild disguised in wool slacks) as perfectly natural rather than transgressive, forcing a comparison between the carefully crafted tomorrow of the film and our present-day world that makes the story all the more resonant. That muted vision had a visceral appeal for Humberto Leon, a partner in Opening Ceremony, who collaborated with Mr. It’s easy to imagine the elevator pitch for Spike Jonze’s latest: a man falls in love with his computer operating system. This time, the victim is female, and was killed by a rather large knife. When Murdoch and Brackenreid arrive to yet another murder, they find Dr Grace already examining the corpse. Before he leaves, he promises to her that Archie will never lay a finger on her or Simon again. George swears he'll never let that happen, and tries to get Edna to stay with him since she has nowhere else to go, but Edna won't budge. George can't believe this, telling Edna that 'after what he did to you, he'll kill me?' to which Edna tells him that Archie will kill her too. She tries to get George to leave, warning him that if Archie finds him here, he'll kill him. When George asks what Archibald did to her, she slowly comes out of the pantry and reveals a bruise by her eye. George arrives at Edna's apartment and calls out for Edna and Simon, but Edna tells George to go away. But with no evidence to prove King's guilt, they're forced to leave without King in their custody. Suggesting that King had McCann kill Galbraith because of the debt, Bernie prompts them to speak with McCann, but then they inform him that McCann is also dead. They inform him of Professor Galbraith's death, and it turns out he was one of King's clients, who was heavily in debt to him. Another body's been found.Īt Bernie King's club, Brackenreid introduces Murdoch to King, the biggest bookmaker in all of Toronto. Inspector Brackenreid informs Murdoch that the victim is William McCann, who was a low life worker of Bernie King, the bookmaker, but before Brackenreid can continue, George appears at the Inspector's office door. Higgins only got a brief look at him, Detective Murdoch searches the victim's coat - and finds a human thumb. Too late to catch the killer, Constable Higgins arrives and blows his whistle to call for help. In the dead of night during a cold winter in Toronto, a young man is about to get attacked by another in an alleyway, but not before he's garroted and killed, scaring the young man away from the crime. While Murdoch hunts for the culprit, Crabtree deals with a perilous situation of his own. As bodies stack up in the morgue, the victims killed in different ways but most are missing the same macabre trophy, it appears that a sequential killer is on the loose in Toronto. In the 3 years after, Neera joins Team Lilac, oversees their training and guides them on the Magister's missions, making sure they stay out of trouble. After the suspicions were cleared up, she became less doubtful of them and aids them in the fight against Lord Brevon, even treating their injuries before and after the Final Battle. When she stated that something doesn't smell right, Gong thinks she's referring to his body odor, making her answer that he never smells right.Īt first, Neera was very distrusting of Lilac and her friends, due to their criminal past and affiliations with the Red Scarves. Neera often works alongside the General with certain tasks, such as protecting the ancient temple and the Kingdom Stone within. Neera also has a sense of honor, declaring it dishonorable to harm (or even kill) a child. However, she is not a machine obsessed with duty, as she recognizes Milla as a child who was only guilty for being a criminal accomplice. She is very proactive in her work, growing skeptical about Lilac & Carol when they knew more about Mayor Zao's plot to steal the Kingdom Stone, and going as far as doing a background check on them. Neera is a strict law enforcer who enforces the Magister's will throughout Shang Tu, accompanying General Gong a majority of the time. In both games, she also wears silver shoulder pads, with purple accents being incorporated on her second design. Her boots now have small purple accents above the knee and at the toe. She also wears purple and white cuffs and a black skirt underneath her robe. Her purple robes now have black and white straps, and she also wears a black Obi sash with a brocade knot in the shape of a six-sided flower tied around it. In Freedom Planet 2, Neera's fur is altered to a natural white. In Freedom Planet, Neera's fur is a peach tone she wears purple and black robes with a white godet, purple fingerless gloves and black knee-high boots. Neera is a panda with black hair styled into a bob cut and dark purple eyes. At the end, she was appointed as the temporary regent of Shang Tu after the Magister stepped down due to being involved with the water dragon genocide, and is currently searching for a suitable successor to take his place for the remainder of their life. Three years later, her views have changed a little, but already treats everything with understanding to others, she started working together with Team Lilac against the threat of Merga. However, she has a habit of always jumping to conclusions about people who have a criminal past, such as Lilac and Carol, due to their past association with Red Scarves. Prior to the events of Freedom Planet, Neera enforces law and order in the kingdom of Shang Tu, showing fierce loyalty to the Royal Magister. She is the Royal Magister's advisor, the chief of the STPD is the major character in Freedom Planet and one of the playable characters in Freedom Planet 2. Neera Li ( ニーラ・リー, Nīra Rī ?) is a main character of the Freedom Planet Series. The realism of this piece goes next level despite only showing a small portion of the entire motorcycle. This old school tattoo of a front wheel is beautiful. The inner forearm tattoo itself is a great replica of the plate right down to the bitten corners and color scheme. There is likely be an interesting story to put with this motorcycle license plate – they aren’t usually separated from the bike it belongs to. Not only is the tattoo itself good, the artist has created it in a way to help it blend seamlessly with the other quality pieces. This is a beautiful example of realism it feels like you could jump on and drive this bike off the subject’s arm and into the distance, especially the clearly executed precision shading of the wheel spokes, bike fuselage, and even the petrol tank shadow. Now, this is a bad ass old school biker tattoo. Clearly defined and well shaded emphasis of the engine’s components makes this a standout black and gray style tattoo. This tattoo is a new school engine design for the grease monkey that loves a revving motorcycle engine, just as much as a beautiful bike. The artist has also cleverly etched the Route 66 logo onto the tattoo at a unique angle. Using the red stripe down the left anchors the entire image, allowing the old school motorcycle and helmeted lady to work well against the stylized text. This is a beautifully realized biker tattoo created with exquisite attention to detail and spacing. These extraordinary symbols will exotically enhance your prospects in the luxurious underworld.

Suggestive elements are also typical for this genre, and ribald logos are more than welcome here. This imagery commonly includes masculine iconography like fiery skulls and cool carnage. The roaring engines are frequently joined by legendary emblazonments that garner unprecedented depths of manliness.

The stretched wheelbase opens up the third row - fitting adults in the very back for a road trip is no longer considered a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

A good solution might be purchase of a second top plate and mount screw for permanent assembly onto the short column. Giottos provides tools for this purpose though the process carries a risk for loss of small parts. Use of the short center column for low-angle work is fairly involved and requires disassembly of the top plate from the column. Care must be taken when the column is configured as a lateral arm to avoid extension to a position where the tripod is over-axis and no longer stable to the load. Once extended, the Giottos MT 9360 allows for a much greater range of camera positions than that of the 055XPROB including full inversion under the tripod legs. While this is not a fatal issue, advertised features that are poorly implemented do little to inspire confidence in a product.Ĭonversion of the center column to the lateral arm position is pretty straightforward, though not as easy to accomplish as the same action on the Bogen/Manfrotto 055XPROB. While the tripod body has a built-in bubble level, the device is not properly registered on my unit with the result that the tripod is several degrees off from level when the bubble is centered. Collapsing the final leg sections allows for a significant increase in stability with little tendency to vibrate. While it is pretty stable at full extension, there is still a tendency to vibrate. When fully extended my impression is that the MT 9360 is a little more stable than the Bogen/Manfrotto 055XPROB, though not quite as stable as the Induro AX213. This allows the legs to be extended easily in any order. Although the leg locks are of the twist type, the sections do not rotate when loosened. The legs operate smoothly with little effort required to extend, collapse, and lock. The included bag, strap, and tool kit are attractively constructed of high quality materials. One item of note: while the name sounds Italian, Giottos is headquartered in Taiwan with manufacturing facilities in the "special economic zone" of Shenzhen, China. The lock knobs are of high quality plastic and all rubber parts are made of a thick high quality material. The exterior surfaces have a polished, dimpled, gunmetal finish with the leg sections and center column sporting a satin black anodized finish. Every piece and control has a rugged, massive feel. All legs have dense foam padding on upper section.Top plate has set screws to lock against the head base.Short center column allows the top plate to function as a basic three-way pan head.Center column doubles as lateral arm with 360 degree rotational and 180 degree vertical movement.Minimum height: 10.2" (using short column).I finally settled on the Giottos MT 9360 as a good compromise of weight, rigidity, features, and price. I also began to lean strongly towards designs that allow placement of the center column as a lateral arm. I determined early-on that while carbon fiber would be nice, the expense would be just a little too much for my budget. Able to support a medium-sized ball head E.g.Able to support at least 10 lbs of camera/lens.Relatively lightweight (less than 6 lbs).Minimum height or other provision to allow photos of ground-hugging plants.Maximum height enough for my 6' 2" person.In addition, I had a continuing need to photograph subjects that were closer to the ground than the Slik could accommodate. My old Slik U8000 works well enough with the Canon G2, but is not really up to the task of supporting the K10D. Read full review.For some time I have been in need of a better tripod. If you're looking at tripods, give the 210 or 212 some serious consideration. There is a built in ball level, and degrees of swivel are marked to allow panoramic shooting. The pan head has adjustments that permit swinging the camera on it's side,crank up and down, 360* swivel, pan up and down, and allows you to shoot nearly straight up or down. The rubber feet can be screwed back revealing pointed feet- useful on hard surfaces or if you need to achieve finer adjustment. The adjustment lock knobs hold your position firmly. The legs will adjust to almost flat on the floor. These are made in Japan, and the quality shows- no sloppy hinges, no loose mounts, no ill-fitting legs. Matter of fact, the only real difference between the 212 and the 210 I see is the 212 is anodized black, and the 210 is clear aluminum anodize. I've had a U212, so I knew this 210 would be a terrific value (I did buy this one used). The quick-release mounting post means I don't have to struggle with dismounting my camera from the tripod. It's everything an amature photographer wants :well made, lightweight, stable, and almost limitlessly adjustable. |
