I love this pencil. It hold every thing, literally. I have a miniture stapler,
one nice pair of scissors, and a scientific calculator in the bottom pocket, and
it holds t like it is nothing. The smallest pocket on top holds all of my
erasers and lead. The last pocket on top holds my ten color pen with out any
issues. This one of the best pencil cases i have ever had.

By s.d.grey
Well, i have been all up and down Felt/Porous Pen St. It can be a lonely journey
trying to find the right tool for the job.
I am admittedly, a Heavy-Handed scribbler. Being a software developer/designer, a lot of my penmanship is employed in a rush of creativity or logistical "eureka-ness". Traditional felt/porous pen tips crumble under my club-like employment after a few days. To make my pen requirements more unreasonable, I am also a compulsive doodler. I love the flow and line depth that graphic art felt/porous pens give, so much so that i was quite comfortable purchasing a package of Staedtler pens every 2 weeks to support my habit. Now i don't have to. These pens are ball point and i actually forget they are. I have had them for 2 weeks and there is no signs of wear. Awesome stuff! I just gifted them to a good friend who is a fashion designer. LOL. I just read my review and thought it sounded like a commercial, but there truly is value here. My fellow "High Pressure Penographers" if you have the same faults as me, these are your pens. |

Jeffrey L. Frischkorn: Retirement is just another way of saying journey has just begun
Is serving a burger your way in my retirement future?
Good question, and one Bev, my wife, and Tom Cross, a good friend and fellow outdoors writer, want to know.
Me, too, in fact.
With plans to retire from The News-Herald on the march to April 1, a decision of what comes next is a very real, practical one for me.
I've already nixed becoming a Walmart greeter, for the obvious reason I fail to possess the necessary people skills.
Ditto the suggestion of becoming a tester for jet aircraft ejection seats, as someone outside my immediate family suggested.
What's left then?
Well, one worries my job will involve driving Bev crazy. That could happen if I don't get myself busy on a project or two.
Other outdoors writer friends I know have successfully navigated the retirement seas: Paul Liikala, Steve Pollick, Art Weber, Guy Denny, Chip Gross and Jim Dudas, just to name a few.
I want to keep busy, stay active and be involved. Continued...
I suspect I'll continue doing some freelance work. Just not jump in with all sorts of stuff I've done for close to 30 years here.
I want to throttle back on those items during retirement.
I intend to keep alive an outdoors blog one way or the other. The outdoors blog I maintain and anchored at The News-Herald is the only social media I believe is worth the wordsmith effort.
Perhaps finding some voluntary work to do with Lake Metroparks or the Holden Arboretum. The way I figure it, I've covered the former for more than 25 years and the latter for more than 15 years.
All in all, I believe I could contribute to either one of them.
Denny figures he could hook me up with a conservation group. We both got a good laugh, however, when he humorously suggested the Sierra Club.
I don't think so. I'm a conservationist, but that group is more than a little too progressive for my conservative tastes.
Of course I intend to hunt more, fish more. And I won't have to beg out of invitations to join a friend to do either one, using the excuse I have a deadline due yesterday, a meeting to attend or a FlipCam video to shoot.
Nor will I take a guilt trip sort of like now when I'm "out in the field" while my peers at the paper are slaving away with their phones ringing, notepads being burned by fast-moving ball-point pens even as the computer system has gone AWOL for no good reason.
Hey, feeling guilty has happened once or twice (maybe even three or four times) during my stint here with The News-Herald. Continued...
So where do I go from here?
I'm not sure, actually.
What I do know is I've reached a trailhead, one I thought all along was the end of the line.
Yet what I've actually come to discover is how this trailhead is really nothing more than just a place to change horses.
Time to saddle up and take the road less traveled.
As Peter Pan instructed Wendy on how to find Neverland: "Second star on the right, then straight on 'til morning."

I love this scent! Very intense but if you apply lightly you can wear during the day as well. Have received so many compliments on it.

Midnight Poison is one of my favorite perfumes to wear for the evening. Please keep this item in stock. The department store in my area no longer carry this particular item. I am a fan of all of the poision perfumes!
August 28, 2012
Written by Anna
Midnight Poison by Dior is my favorite evening wear fragrance. Personally I think it's too strong to wear during the day, mainly because of the effect it has on other people! It is so seductive to men that it's not something you should wear to work as it may give the wrong impression... Save it for nights out, you will notice when people are around you that they become intoxicated by the scent. Highly recommend, but use wisely! The power of the poison is not to be underestimated!

"An astonishing, unrepeatable epic." - Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
A timeless cinema classic, director David Lean's Oscar-winning 1962 film was truly intended to be seen exclusively on the big screen -- with its lush cinematography, epic story, and Peter O'Toole's larger than life performance as the academic-cum-desert warrior.
Based on the true story of T.E. Lawrence, a young British army officer whose recon mission in the Arabian desert turns into an all-out heroic struggle to unite the scattered, warring desert tribes against the encroaching Turkish forces during WWI. LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is an expertly crafted portrait of clashing cultures, and of a man driven to the brink of madness by conflicting loyalties and his own unquenchable ambition.

I noticed it looked really different, and sleeker, I like it :O |
It does look better, although I would like to see the recent forum posts on the homepage reappear. I don't care for this forum software at all, instead I just click threads/posts from the homepage that are being discussed. Saves time, and I don't have to deal with navigating around the forum. |
I believe the forum was built in house and isn't really complete. I do agree with bloodbath that I hate navigating through it because the sections seem poorly organized, as in there are a lot of them that sit completely inactive and could likely be integrated into other sections, but that it does lack some features such as the most recent posts. I used to use the main page in order to navigate the forums as well just because it was a lot faster. Maybe it could implemented on the forums instead of on the main page. |
Kyle will work on adding that back to the homepage. In regards to the forums. When i'm looking for posts people are commenting on I click the recent posts on the top right of the page. Not sure if you guys have tried that button before, but it works well. I do agree that the forums were kind of neglected, we haven't put a ton of thought in to them. I plan on taking some time soon and thinking of a better way to organize it. |
Didn't really notice the recent post tab on top, thanks Kirk. I don't actually browse the forum, only click the recent posts on the home page and then comment lol. Just don't care for it at all. Not easy on the eyes. Might consider vbulletin, SMF, or phpbb. I've combined vbulletin with Wordpress in the past. Takes some time, but it is possible. Might be a few plugins or mods out now to make it more simplified. |
these are actually the first forums since Gaia that I've actually been active in :O I don't think its because it's my job, it might be that the community is small enough that it's easy to keep track of, but I like how the forums are, it's very simple. I think it's a bit of a necessity for good forums to have signatures though so that people could express themselves through it. It could also be used to advertise certain games or features through the contributors; for example, I could have a signature with a flashy picture for the new WoW expansion, and have it link to the Circlekirk on it or review page. Even within a site forum, customization is important! :P |
The site is actually no longer on Wordpress. I felt like it was limiting us too much, so I spent the last few months making a custom CMS for us to use. |
Three questions: 1. Why doesn't my picture in the MMO Attack site change even though I changed it in my account here on the forums? 2. Why can't I access account information and stuff from the MMO Attack site? I need to come to the forums to make any changes. 3. When I try to log in through the forums, why is there a difference between "logging in" and "logging in with MMO Attack"? |
Anything you change on the forums is only changing on the forums. To change your avatar, go to http://gravatar.com They associate avatars with your email address and it can be used on any site. Logging in with MMO Attack is the only way to actually login. The other login is there because it's basically embedded in with the forums and I can't remove it. |
Gotcha, thanks! |
I also needed all of those questions answered but kept forgetting to ask, thank you both lol |

Virtual Paint Shop
The goal of this ongoing project is to develop new simulation algorithms and tools for paint and surface treatment processes in automotive paint shops. The project is part of Vinnova's MERA and FFI programs that support the Swedish automotive industry and our research partners are Volvo Cars, Saab Automobile, Scania, Volvo AB and Swerea IVF.
Paint and surface treatment processes in the car paint shop are to a large extent automated and performed by robots. Having access to tools that incorporate the flexibility of robotic path planning with fast and efficient simulation of the processes is important, since such tools will reduce the time required for introduction of new car models, reduce the environmental impact and increase quality. The key process in the paint shop, which is also the most demanding from a modelling point of view, is the spray painting of the car body.
In spray painting paint primer, color layers and clear coating are applied through the Electrostatic Rotary Bell Sprayer (ERBS) technique. Paint is injected at the centre of a rotating bell; the paint forms a film on the bottom side of the bell and is atomized at the edge. The droplets are charged electrostatically and driven towards the target car body both by shaping air surrounding the rotating bell and by a potential difference in the order of 50-100 kV between paint applicator and target.
The combination of high physical complexity, large moving geometries, and demands on near real time results constitutes a big challenge. The current situation in the automotive industry is therefore to rely on individual experience and physical validation for improving their processes.
This multi-physics application requires tracing of paint droplets that are two-way coupled to the fluid flow and electrostatic field, from bell to target. The major part of the computational work is done within the flow solver – where the transient Navier-Stokes equations are solved to obtain the air flow velocity field. An accurate solution is necessary in order to predict where paint hits the target surface.
A major improvement in computational speed compared to other approaches has been realized through the development of the incompressible flow solver IBOFlow. IBOFlow is based on a finite volume discretization of the Navier-Stokes equations on a Cartesian octree grid that can be dynamically refined and coarsened. Unique immersed boundary methods are used to model the presence of objects in the fluid. This enables modeling of moving objects (robots or cars) at virtually no additional computational cost.
The IBOFlow solver has been integrated in the in-house package for automatic path planning, IPS. The first version of the software IPS Virtual Paint was released in 2009 and our industrial partners predict that positive effects will include a reduced time required for introduction of new car models, a reduced environmental impact and an increased product quality. In the software, an arbitrary geometry can be painted using a moving, pre-defined electrostatic rotary bell, where the user can set process conditions like paint flow, air flow, electrostatic droplet charge and atomizer bell rotation speed. The process conditions are used to compute physical inlet conditions such as paint droplet size and velocity distributions and applicator inlet air flow. Validations of the film thickness for test plates are in excellent agreement with experimental data.
Currently we are working on further improvements of IPS Virtual Paint as well as additional modules to enable simulation of the other processes relevant to the automotive paint shop such as electro dipping, sealing and cavity wax, and oven curing. Another challenge is the automatic generation of collision free robot paths through 3D scanning of complex components. This technology will mainly target low volume series which have until today been painted manually due to the lead time of programming a paint robot to perform the same operation.

JobCentre staff go on strike (From Witney Gazette)
Get involved: send your photos, videos, news & views by texting 'OXFORD NEWS' to 80360 or email
Oxfordshire JobCentre staff go on strike
10:20am Thursday 21st March 2013 in Business By Freddie Whittaker, covering Politics and Kidlington. Call me on 01865 425498
DELAYS and disruption were reported at JobCentres across Oxfordshire after dozens of staff members walked out yesterday.
As part of a national day of industrial action organised by the Public and Commercial Sector (PCS) union, officials said about 85 members of staff at the centre in Oxford walked out.
The action kicked off a three-month period of disruption.
JobCentre customer services manager and PCS branch organiser Wayne Meade, 51, said more than 100 people walked out across the county.
He said eight members of staff joined him on the picket line yesterday morning.
He said: "I imagine there was quite a lot of disruption. We weren't able to count everybody but we think that only about 15 per cent of staff went in.
"The next thing is a half-day walkout on April 5."
Similar walkouts were reported in Witney, where an estimated 22 members of the 28-strong staff did not go into work.
The action comes after the Government allegedly refused to hold talks with the union about its demands, which include a minimum pay rise of five per cent.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "It is disappointing that yet again the PCS insist on pushing for futile action which benefits no-one, and damages the services they deliver to the public."

Voter Turnout in New Trier Township Among Top 5 in Suburban Cook County
New Trier Township had one of the highest levels of voter turnout in suburban Cook County this year.
Although fewer people voted for the presidential election in New Trier Township than in 2008, New Trier was still among the townships in suburban Cook County with the highest levels of voter turnout this year. According to unofficial results from Cook County Clerk David Orr's office, a total of 972,272, cast their ballots for president in New Trier Township on Tuesday, compared to 1,056,242 in 2008. Voter turnout was 75.2 percent, behind Oak Park (79.8%), River Forest (76.1%), and Rich (75.7%). Evanston Township took the fifth spot for high voter turnout with 74.9 percent, the Clerk's Office reported. Overall, voter turnout in suburban Cook County was about 69 percent on Tuesday. Barack Obama and Joe Biden took 53.82 percent of the votes…

Hi I'm a new Avalon fan having just acquired a superb A200CE...aside from fingerstyle/open tunings, I also do a lot of strummed backup for fiddle/whistle using a dropped D or DADGAD tuning, along with frequent damping of the bass strings (think John Doyle -- I know, I know, in my dreams....) and I typically use .062 for the low string.
I'm so impressed with the Avalon "sound" which is distinct from Martin or even Lowden, and wondered about what in the Avalon range might suit the above criteria.
Any advice on what would give the best sound in that class? I'm thinking mahogany/spruce, which I currently use (Breedlove Atlas - nice sound but could use more volume). It has to have a solid "chunk" that cuts through.
Any advice/opinions appreciated,

Location: Appalachian Fruit Research Laboratory: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and Protection
Technical Abstract: The 2011 Symposium was held in conjunction with the 32nd North American Strawberry Growers Association (NASGA) Annual Conference on 8-11 Feb. 2011, at the Doubletree Hotel in Tampa, FL. The scientific program was conducted over two days and featured five sessions of oral and poster presentations spanning global perspectives on strawberry production, emerging diseases and pests and management and control strategies, new paradigm for substrate culture, breeding and screening for fungal and bacterial disease, improvement in fruit quality through increasing nutritional content and evaluating for abiotic stress responses and postharvest decay. There were 320 delegates from 25 countries. The international contingents reflected the global interest in the strawberry research and industry organizations in North America. The subject of the 2011 meeting was "Sustaining strawberry production through science". The diverse presentations included global and North American perspectives on strawberry production, genetics, breeding, virology, germplasm enhancement, molecular biology, disease and pest management, propagation and nursery management, cultural practices, plant nutrition and water management, plant physiology, economics of production practices, postharvest fruit handling, and food safety.

Comments about Pilot Alpin PA4:
Only had 2 on the back wheels of a 06 350z. I was able to make it through a MN winter. These tires are great, I plan go with 4 of them next year. Great traction in snow, low noise and nice ride on dry pavement. I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great winter tire.

Comments about Pilot Alpin PA4:
It is hard to believe it is a winter tyre until there is either snow or ice when it has superb traction, stability and braking
Best Uses
Comments about Pilot Alpin PA4:
I drive 50k miles per year (business) in north central states in a 420 HP modified 2012 Mustang GT convert. I am in my second winter on these tires and am still totally overwhelmed over my ability to safely and under total control pass FWD vehicles that are slip-slidin' away because they don't have good, dedicated winter tires like the Pilot Alpin. I had similar Michelin dedicated winter tires on my '08 Mustang GT convert and in 128K miles never even lost control on snow or ice, much less got stuck even though I probably put on 5k miles driving in blizzards. If you have a performance car you drive in winter I cannot more highly endorse this tire. I do wish I could buy a narrower tire (for less hydroplaning on slush furrows between lanes) than the 255-40-19 that my car takes but the Mustang Brembo brake package doesn't allow much choice in narrower wheel/tire options. And, this tire looks great on the car - clean and glossy with no treatment. The Goodyear Eagles that were OEM looked muddy even after a wash. I have had such good luck with Michelin tires over the last 500k miles I just bought a set of Pilot Super Sports for when spring rolls around.

Bullsh!tting: How to Pretend You're Southern (or a Yankee)
Feature- Tis the Season
New Year's. Fourth of July. Thanksgiving. Christmas. These are all major national holidays, but which is unlike the others?
Take a closer look, and you'll find that of these — and of all 10 public holidays established by U.S. fFederal law — Christmas is the only one with religious significance.
Feature- West of Columbia
When was the last time you tried out a new restaurant or shopped at a new store?
A lot of students live in a bubble. We limit ourselves to shopping and eating within the confines of Five Points and the Vista. We run into the normal weekend crowds and visit the same restaurants and stores. After almost three years at USC, I am guilty of this as well. In an effort to branch out, I discovered what West Columbia has to offer. Whether you are looking for a new spot to grab Sunday morning brunch, a bargain store to hunt for the perfect DIY project or a venue to expand your musical taste buds, check out what lies west of the Congaree River, the other side of Columbia.

This one is my favourite one so far. I just sat down after working in the restaurant for around 23 hours (with a six hour sleep after 15 of those hours). Just needed to get something on the blank piece of black I had painted. Now to get my hands on some brads and put him together, after cutting him out, of course.
I have had a thought of wanting to make a couple of jointed "animals" for a while... then I bought November and December from wool and water and it was kind of fun cutting them out and putting them together, I thought I might make some of my own.
Listening to "Experimental Jet Set Trash and No Star" by Sonic Youth...

Ever since the Salon Livres et Presse Jeunesse... I have been loitering around, (when I have been here), seemingly accumulating more and more work on surfaces, wondering about those comments about odd illustrations not being "my style" even though I did them... You just have to see this image to understand (Not all the images you see in the photo are mine). I think I am understanding my style and getting a grasp of not kidding myself into something I am not. I guess when you work as a graphic designer, you get asked to appropriate styles, so perhaps this is why I got a little lost? I have arrived in the clearing! Does that make sense?
I have actually done a decent amount of work today (my protesting, hoop jumping tiger is my work in progress started today).

Bought the GOTY edition for $18 new so it really doesn't matter if its lacking quality in the DLC. As a complete package, the GOTY edition is a can't miss!
Batman: Arkham City - Harley Quinn's Revenge Review
The tried-and-true gameplay of Arkham City makes Harley Quinn's Revenge enjoyable, but a limited scope and an underdeveloped story prevent it from soaring.
The Good
- Plenty of satisfying combat and stealthy action
- Some memorable new details in the redesigned steel mill.
The Bad
- Interesting story elements are unutilized
- Mostly takes place in confined environments
- Final boss fight is a dud.
A Batman's work is never done. He may have dealt with the Penguin, Hugo Strange, the Joker, and the other supervillains who plotted schemes within the open-air megaprison of Arkham, but in the wake of those events, a new threat has arisen. For reasons that need no explanation if you've played through the story of Batman: Arkham City, Harley Quinn has it out for Batman in a big way. Harley Quinn's Revenge gives you a decent excuse to return to the immensely satisfying combat of Arkham City, and lets you play as Robin in a narrative context (as opposed to challenge rooms) for the first time. But unfortunately, this downloadable content feels restrictive in comparison to the original game, and it ends with a weak final confrontation that makes this a disappointing note on which to bring the Arkham City story to a close.
Like the original game, Harley Quinn's Revenge jumps between characters, but it adds a new narrative twist by jumping back and forth in time. You begin as Robin, who has ventured into a shipyard that has been taken over by Harley Quinn and her thugs. Chatter between Robin and Oracle establishes that in the two weeks that have passed since the events of Arkham City, Bruce Wayne has seemed depressed and unwilling to talk about the lives that were lost. The concept of Batman coming a bit unhinged and struggling with his emotions is exciting, but Harley Quinn's Revenge never develops it. It serves no purpose here other than to plant a seed in your brain about what condition Batman might be in when a sequel rolls around; within the context of this DLC, it just resonates with untapped potential.
As Robin, you make your way through Harley's base searching for Batman, who disappeared a few days earlier while trying to rescue some police officers Harley had kidnapped. Robin has a few unique gadgets, like the snap flash, which you can plant on unsuspecting baddies and then detonate to stun them and other nearby enemies, and a bullet shield that lets you withstand assaults from turrets for a limited time. On the other hand, he can't pull off all of the techniques that Batman can; he lacks the ability to do an inverted takedown, for instance.
But for the most part, playing as Robin feels just like playing as Batman. That's not a bad thing, of course. Arkham City's combat hasn't gotten any less hard-hitting and rewarding in the months since the game was released, and Robin's animations have him making graceful and brutal use of his metallic bo staff to hit and knock out enemies. But there's little freedom here; you use your shield when you need to and you fight enemies when you need to, as you're ushered down the narrow hallways and through the larger but still confined rooms of the shipyard.
Soon, the game flashes back to two days prior and puts you in control of Batman, revealing the circumstances that led up to his disappearance. Here, gameplay opens up a bit. Though you're restricted to the area around the steel mill where Harley Quinn is apparently holding the police officers she's kidnapped, you get to enjoy the freedom of Batman's glide and the satisfaction of diving into enemies from high above. The air around the mill is thick with the piercing lasers of sniper rifles, and the ground is crawling with thugs, so you have incentive to employ the full range of Batman's abilities as you work your way into the facility. It doesn't introduce any hazards you haven't already dealt with if you've played through Arkham City, but it's nonetheless a tense scenario that makes stepping back into the batsuit exciting.
The steel mill is a familiar location, having served as Joker's base during Arkham City. But it's worth revisiting; once you're inside, you see that Harley Quinn has made it her own, and a few of her decorative touches offer a disturbing glimpse into the state of her psyche. This DLC moves along at a snappy pace from this point on, jumping back and forth between its two playable characters and including challenging brawls against huge, varied groups of enemies, stealthy standoffs against patrolling guards, sections in which Batman must follow blood trails and interrogate thugs, and a race against the clock to find and defuse bombs.
This is all reliably engaging; if you enjoyed doing these things in Arkham City, you will find them no less enjoyable here. But the final confrontation these activities build up to is incredibly basic, and the cursory ending leaves the story's most fascinating elements unexplored. Additionally, the overwhelming majority of this DLC takes place indoors; you rarely get a chance to spread your batwings and experience the openness that helped make Arkham City so extraordinary. Once the credits roll on this roughly two-hour adventure, it's over; there's no option to continue exploring its locations, and the 30 balloons you can hunt down and pop aren't a compelling reason to return to Harley Quinn HQ. Fighting evil in Gotham still feels heroic, but this isn't the conclusion Arkham City deserves.

A fan shares a story about seeing the Rockies two biggest stars, at the team's LA hotel, earlier this week.
I visited a bunch of Spring Training for the website stadiumjourney.com this year, and the Rockies were one of those teams. Check out my review and suggestions, and add your own too!
Using a consensus top 100 prospects list between Baseball Prospectus, Keith Law and Baseball America, I added where each prospect will be beginning the 2013 season. Well, almost all of them.
Hello Everyone! My name is Calder Cahill and I've recently been selected as a Top 50 finalist to the MLB Fan Cave. If you're not familiar, the Fan Cave allows me to watch every baseball game this season in New York City and represent the ROCKIES on a national level -- something I do anyway on my couch at home, only now it won't be as socially frowned upon.

Eagles' D can't get one last stop in loss to Steelers (With Video, Slideshow)
PITTSBURGH – The Eagles' luck ran out today.
After rallying to line up their third fourth-quarter comeback of the season, the Eagles couldn't get a stop when it mattered most.
Shaun Suisham drilled a 34-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 16-14 win over the Eagles at Heinz Field.
The Steelers held a 13-7 lead on Suisham's second field goal of the afternoon, a 24-yarder nine seconds into the fourth quarter.
After losing a replay challenge contesting the spot, Andy Reid told LeSean McCoy to get the first down on fourth-and-inches at their own 30-yard line.
The decision was an endorsement of McCoy and his Pro Bowl skills and the Eagle defense that had given up just 92 yards in the second half.
McCoy later picked up two yards on fourth-and-one at the 47-yard line of the Steelers.
Michael Vick then beat a blitz with a 24-yard pass to DeSean Jackson giving the Eagles a first down at the 10 of the Steelers.
The final 10 yards belonged to tight ends Clay Harbor and Brent Celek. Harbor went eight yards with an exotic screen over the middle. Celek got the final two yards – and his first TD of the season. Continued...
It gave the Eagles a 14-13 lead with 6:33 remaining.
The Eagles trailed 10-0 at the half. They've been outscored 47-24 in first halves this season.
Vick, who lost two first-half fumbles, finally got comfortable in the no-huddle in the third quarter.
McCoy took a checkdown throw from Vick, dug his cleats in the ground to turn linebacker Larry Foote completely around, and finished it carrying a couple of tacklers into the end zone.
The Eagles' first points of the day cut the Steelers' lead to 10-7 with 6:35 left in the first quarter.
Fifteen-yard roughness penalties on safeties Ryan Clark and Ryan Mundy were the other big plays on the drive.
The Steelers scored on a 13-yard run by Rashard Mendenhall in the first half. They also got a 20-yard field goal by Suisham six seconds before the intermission, wide receiver Jericho Cotchery falling over his own feet at the two-yard line despite a clear view of the end zone.

Hot answers tagged brake-rotor
The decision to replace is largely based on the thickness. The repair manual should tell you the minimum thickness, below which you should replace the rotors when doing the repair. Use a pair of calipers and measure the rotor thickness, if you're below this number you need to replace the rotors.
You may also wish to replace the rotors if you have ...
Cars falling off jackstands are no fun.
If you're careful you can heat up the rotor with a torch prior to whacking it with a heavy mallet. If you're not careful, you run the risk of warping the rotor (which is ok if you're getting a new one). Don't try this near fuel lines or the gas tank.
The braking surfaces of a rotor require precision machining. The tolerances are in the .002" range. You would never come close without a quality lathe. Each manufacturer also has specifications for minimum total thickness, side to side variance for vented rotors, the smoothness of the finish and run-out which is the difference between the highest and lowest ...
You're going to have to bed the brakes in properly. Be very careful.
http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm follow these instructions (at your own risk). A friend had a similar car as yours (IS300) and had the same problem. Once I bedded the rotors in, noise was minimized.
There are three cases that cause brake rotors to need to be resurfaced/turned and/or replaced.
Gouging of the rotor by the brake pad holding mechanism (the pad were rubbed completely away and the metal holding the pad start digging into the rotor)
Warping of the rotor from extreme use (rotor gets too hot and warps upon cooling)
The rotor itself wears down ...
Improper wheel nut torque, use a torque wrench, or an impact wrench with torque sticks to put on the wheels.
Rapid cooling such as running through water with the brakes hot is also suppose to cause it.
Cheap pads, they breakdown under heat and leave deposits on the rotor surface.
Ball joints should not cause the rotors to warp.
Example of Torque sticks ...
It's probably that the pads need bedding in as NoCarrier says. However, my sister-in-law once had her brakes start squealing even though there was plenty of pad left, and the problem ended up being a small stone that got stuck between the pad backing plate and the rotor, in front of the edge of the pad.
Assuming there is not a screw holding it on (your experience with the other side tells you this), just give it a solid smack with a hammer. When I worked for Mercedes, it was not uncommon to need a 2-lb sledge to knock the disc loose. We would use two hands and swing really hard sometimes.. never heard of a messed up bearing from that.
Of course, this ...
In my experience when removing the old type of brake hubs you would need to hit quite hard without that hurting the bearings.
You might try spraying the disc with WD-40 and let that soak in for a bit and then knocking it again with a hammer. You would wan't to spray mostly around the bolts that fasten the wheel since there is most likely some corosion there ...
In a word, accuracy!
A lathe as used by a mechanic will have the precision required, and the instrumentation available, to ensure the rotors are turned evenly.
You'd be surprised at how much vibration you can get at 70mph from the smallest inconsistencies in rotor height - and how much you lose in stopping power!
Wow, I'm in the minority here.
It is my firm belief that you should have your rotors turned with every brake pad/shoe replacement!
If you do not do this everything will work perfectly fine, until you apply the brakes
then if your brake rotors/drums were glazed, heavily scored or worn out of parallel to the new brake pad your will stopping distance WILL be ...
What you're describing sounds unusual. In an ideal situation, when you brake, even if you lock up the tires, you're going to continue moving in the same direction unless some outside force acts upon the car.
To spin a car 180 degrees requires a mechanical malfunction, or an outside force.
Start with the tires: are they the same on all 4 corners, and ...
The main reason for reoccurring warping seems to be (form what I've read) "imprinting" your pads on the rotors: fully applying the brake on a very hot rotor for an extended period of time (a few seconds), thus leaving behind a deposit film that causes the warping problems. Maybe your pad is dragging on the forward rotor, causing it to heat up? With the way ...
As already stated, get the estimate on paper with parts and labor broken down.
Go to another shop and get an estimate, tell them reasons related to your car of why you want the estimate, not "i have this estimate, can you do better". If you've noticed vibration under heavy braking, noises or just reached the number of miles where you want them checked for ...
This sound usually comes from resonance when pads sharp edge touches the disc slightly or a small piece of stone stuck on the pad. Usually it's not serious and will go by itself after braking several dozen of times, but if you want to be safe - get the car to the service-shop and ask them to take a look and maybe grind the pads sharp edge.
Other more ...
You could try applying anti-seize lubricant to the backs of the brake pads. Also consider lubricating other places where the brake pad backing plate could rub against the caliper. Just make sure to keep it off the braking surfaces.
This has the side benefit of preventing the pads from rusting onto the caliper, making future maintenance easier.
I typically ...
To me it sounds like you need to get some practice in a safe location, preferably with a trained expert, at breaking. There are driver safety classes that you can take which will give you experience at braking at, but not over, the limit of adhesion, and vehicle dynamics such as weight transfer and spin prevention.
In particular, you need to make it second ...
I don't know about your model but most discs I've encountered have a couple of threaded holes in the hub part. They are often clogged with general road crud, so you may need to scrub the disc hub down to find them. If yours have such holes get a couple of bolts to match and screw them in, as evenly as practical. This will push the disc off the axle.
There are many reasons for squeaky brakes. The usual cause, is whoever replaced your brake pads used pads that are a slightly different material than the original pads. A fairly reliable way to prevent this is to use pads recommended by Chrysler. It could also be the rotors, it's never a bad idea to replace the rotors the same time as the pads if you want ...
Along with the already mentioned and more common reasons of Gouges, Warped or being too thin there is another reason for getting them turned/resurfaced.
When using some higher quality brake pads, they will tell you if you are changing from one pad compound to another (either changing brands or product lines) to use new or re-surfaced rotors.
This comes ...
I had this same thing happen with a 98 Ford Escort. I also tried all the anti-chatter/noise goo they sell at the parts stores. Nothing worked, until I replaced the pads with ceramics. Be warned though, that they may accelerate the wear of your rotors. For me this wasn't a deal breaker as the brake screech was intolerable.
I echo others' recommendations about driving technique. If you apply more braking force than the tires can apply to the road, the tires will lock up and skid. Trying to steer and brake at the same time splits the available traction among competing activities, making a skid more likely.
As for mechanical changes you can make: tires with adequate tread are ...
I'm going to say yes, you should replace those springs, especially the broken one....
Some Googling indicates that springs fitting your description are still in use and you should be able to mail order them.
Most brake pads use some sort of shim or spring to stop the pad from oscillating,aka making noise. What generally causes the noise is a small amount of movement by the pad at a very high frequency. Manufacturers eliminate this with shims,springs or a soft material that acts as a dampener. It is possible that one of these has failed from time,use or ...
One possibility is that your new pads haven't fully "bedded in", or mated with the rotors, and/or that these new pads don't do as effective a job of cleaning the rust off of the rotors in your normal driving.
One thing to try in situations like this before you spend any additional money is to find a quiet back road, and do a number of repeated hard stops ...
If the rattle is like a shimmying in the steering column, it's probably a warped rotor.
But if it really is a rattle, take a flashlight and poke around under that wheel to see if your cv boot is ripped or if you can see any damage to the joints leading to the wheel.
It may also be helpful to have someone else hit the brakes while you look to see how they ...
Check the prices for the parts and the labor, and you should probably get a 2nd estimate, because that does seem a bit high, but I don't know what else is included in the service you mention.
Dealers generally have higher prices, and often you can get similar quality parts much cheaper from other sources. For example, I looked up rotors for a 2008 Honda ...
Remove the dust cap in the center of the hub (in the middle of the wheel stubs) remove the cotter pin (replace with new one on installation) remove the nut lock and then the nut. You should be able to pull the whole assembly off (rotor and hub) from the back side you should be able to get to the bolts that hold the rotor on the hub. Install in the reverse ...
In an emergency situation, if you don't have ABS (anti-lock brake system), you could use the pump-technique (simulated ABS, albeit at a much slower rate), as you might during wintery conditions. Instead of slamming and holding the brake pedal down, you want to press and depress as rapidly as you can. If you have ABS then you do not want to use this technique ...

Rising obesity - 'dementia time bomb'
Ever-growing waistlines could result in a big increase in the number of people who develop dementia in the future, researchers have warned. Previous studies have shown that being overweight in middle age increases the odds of developing the mental disorder. Data presented at the European Congress on Obesity suggests stemming the rise in obesity will cut dementia.
Piling on too many pounds is known to be bad for the body, but there is growing evidence that it is also bad for the mind. Diabetes is strongly linked to increasing Alzheimer's risk. The connection between weight gain and diabetes is insulin. In both cases people become increasingly 'insulin resistant', which means their body makes more insulin, and higher insulin levels has consistently be linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's.
One study of 8,500 Swedish twins showed that those with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, who are classified as obese, were almost four times as likely to develop dementia as those with a normal BMI.
Even those who were clinically overweight, a BMI between 25 and 30, were 71% more likely to develop dementia. In England 24% of men and 26% of women are obese. Researchers from the UK Health Forum used computer models to compare what would happen if obesity rates stayed the same or increased to 46% of men and 31% of women by 2050, which has been predicted by some groups.
They said rates of dementia would go from 4,894 cases in every 100,000 people over 65 to 6,662 cases in every 100,000 people over 65. Keeping obesity levels constant would save around £940m in dementia care, the study predicted.

B vitamin supplements stop Alzheimer's brain shrinkage
New ground-breaking research from Oxford University shows that B vitamins stopped shrinkage in the area of the brain that defines Alzheimer's disease, called the medial temporal lobe. The discovery that the medial temporal lobe virtually stops shrinking in some people with high dose B vitamins is a highly important and convincing breakthrough in understanding what causes, and can prevent Alzheimer's.
The study led by Professor David Smith from the University of Oxford, gave a combination of vitamin B6 (20mg), B12 (500mcg) and folic acid (800mcg) or placebo pills to people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the stage before a diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's. "In those with high homocysteine levels, the specific areas of the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease shrank 8 times more slowly in those taking B vitamins than in those on the placebo. This is strongly indicative that the B vitamins may be substantially slowing down, or even potentially arresting, the disease process in those with early stage cognitive decline. This is the first treatment that has been shown to do this." said Professor David Smith.

Feeding the autistic brain: Multi-nutrients reduce symptoms and improve biological function
Multi-nutrients reduce symptoms and improve biological function Dietary studies for autism are also few and far between for the same reasons as outlined above in relation to ADHD.
The next best thing is a study involving supplementation – it's not quite representative of real dietary changes as a change in food would be of course, but at least it can be carried out in a double-blind randomised controlled fashion which eliminates any bias and carries much more weight within the scientific community. The following is just such a study. It involved giving 141 children and adults with autism, a multi-nutrient formula containing a broad range of vitamins and minerals or a placebo. Their symptoms were assessed before and after the study which ran for three months. Fifty-three of the children in the study also had blood measures taken of nutritional and metabolic status(biomarkers) before and after. In terms of symptoms, the supplemented group had significantly greater improvements than the placebo group on the following scores: Parental Global Impressions (PGI-R), Hyperactivity, Tantrumming, Overall and Receptive Language. The change in the PGI-R was strongly associated with a number of the biomarkers suggesting that there is a relationship between changes in biomarkers and changes in symptoms. Levels of many vitamins, minerals, and biomarkers improved including markers of oxidative stress thought to be elevated in autism, as well as markers of key biological processes such as methylation and sulphation. Our comment: Many children on the autistic spectrum who are brought to the Brain Bio Centre eat very restricted diets – this is often a feature of autism. While we work with parents to make gradual changes to broaden their diet to include more food sources of essential nutrients, we also use supplementation to provide these nutrients in the meantime. Anecdotal experience and this study illustrates that this approach may improve both symptoms and biological function. Early improvements can also ease the process of broadening the child's diet making it a virtuous cycle of improvement. Adams JB, Audhya T, McDonough-Means S, Rubin RA, Quig D, Geis E, Gehn E, Loresto M, Mitchell J, Atwood S, Barnhouse S, Lee W. (2011) Effect of a vitamin/mineral supplement on children and adults with autism. BMC Pediatr. 11:111.

Omega-3 fish oil boosts mood in depressed elderly
Depression is a common problem in the elderly. In this study, 46 older women with depression (aged 66-95 years) were given either a fish oil supplement (2.5g of omega-3) or a placebo.
After the 2 month study period the women on the supplement had a significantly improved mood compared with those the placebo when assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale. The researchers were also interested in whether blood levels of essential fatty acids changed as a result of supplementation. They found an improved (lowered) ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in both the whole blood and red blood cell membranes, reflecting the increased intake of omega-3. Immunological parameters (various immune system messengers) were also measured, however there were no significant differences in these. Our comment: This paper adds to the body of evidence supporting the consumption of oily fish and fish oil to support mood in the elderly. Rizzo AM et al, (2012) Comparison between the AA/EPA ratio in depressed and non depressed elderly females: omega-3 fatty acid supplementation correlates with improved symptoms but does not change immunological parameters.
