Stochastic Severing of Actin Filaments by Actin Depolymerizing Factor/Cofilin Controls the Emergence of a Steady Dynamical Regime
Biophysical Journal, Volume 94, Issue 6, 15 March 2008, Pages 2082-2094
Jeremy Roland, Julien Berro, Alphée Michelot, Laurent Blanchoin and Jean-Louis Martiel
AbstractActin dynamics (i.e., polymerization/depolymerization) powers a large number of cellular processes. However, a great deal remains to be learned to explain the rapid actin filament turnover observed in vivo. Here, we developed a minimal kinetic model that describes key details of actin filament dynamics in the presence of actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin. We limited the molecular mechanism to 1), the spontaneous growth of filaments by polymerization of actin monomers, 2), the ageing of actin subunits in filaments, 3), the cooperative binding of ADF/cofilin to actin filament subunits, and 4), filament severing by ADF/cofilin. First, from numerical simulations and mathematical analysis, we found that the average filament length, 〈L〉, is controlled by the concentration of actin monomers (power law: 5/6) and ADF/cofilin (power law: −2/3). We also showed that the average subunit residence time inside the filament, 〈T〉, depends on the actin monomer (power law: −1/6) and ADF/cofilin (power law: −2/3) concentrations. In addition, filament length fluctuations are ∼20% of the average filament length. Moreover, ADF/cofilin fragmentation while modulating filament length keeps filaments in a high molar ratio of ATP- or ADP-Pi versus ADP-bound subunits. This latter property has a protective effect against a too high severing activity of ADF/cofilin. We propose that the activity of ADF/cofilin in vivo is under the control of an affinity gradient that builds up dynamically along growing actin filaments. Our analysis shows that ADF/cofilin regulation maintains actin filaments in a highly dynamical state compatible with the cytoskeleton dynamics observed in vivo.

Cofilin Tunes the Nucleotide State of Actin Filaments and Severs at Bare and Decorated Segment Boundaries
Current Biology, Volume 21, Issue 10, 24 May 2011, Pages 862-868
Cristian Suarez, Jérémy Roland, Rajaa Boujemaa-Paterski, Hyeran Kang, Brannon R. McCullough, Anne-Cécile Reymann, Christophe Guérin, Jean-Louis Martiel, Enrique M. De La Cruz and Laurent Blanchoin
SummaryActin-based motility demands the spatial and temporal coordination of numerous regulatory actin-binding proteins (ABPs) [1], many of which bind with affinities that depend on the nucleotide state of actin filament. Cofilin, one of three ABPs that precisely choreograph actin assembly and organization into comet tails that drive motility in vitro [2], binds and stochastically severs aged ADP actin filament segments of de novo growing actin filaments [3]. Deficiencies in methodologies to track in real time the nucleotide state of actin filaments, as well as cofilin severing, limit the molecular understanding of coupling between actin filament chemical and mechanical states and severing. We engineered a fluorescently labeled cofilin that retains actin filament binding and severing activities. Because cofilin binding depends strongly on the actin-bound nucleotide, direct visualization of fluorescent cofilin binding serves as a marker of the actin filament nucleotide state during assembly. Bound cofilin allosterically accelerates Pi release from unoccupied filament subunits, which shortens the filament ATP/ADP-Pi cap length by nearly an order of magnitude. Real-time visualization of filament severing indicates that fragmentation scales with and occurs preferentially at boundaries between bare and cofilin-decorated filament segments, thereby controlling the overall filament length, depending on cofilin binding density.

ADF/Cofilin Regulates Actomyosin Assembly through Competitive Inhibition of Myosin II Binding to F-Actin
Developmental Cell, Volume 22, Issue 3, 13 March 2012, Pages 530-543
O'Neil Wiggan, Alisa E. Shaw, Jennifer G. DeLuca and James R. Bamburg
SummaryThe contractile actin cortex is important for diverse fundamental cell processes, but little is known about how the assembly of F-actin and myosin II motors is regulated. We report that depletion of actin depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilin proteins in human cells causes increased contractile cortical actomyosin assembly. Remarkably, our data reveal that the major cellular defects resulting from ADF/cofilin depletion, including cortical F-actin accumulation, were largely due to excessive myosin II activity. We identify that ADF/cofilins from unicellular organisms to humans share a conserved activity to inhibit myosin II binding to F-actin, indicating a mechanistic rationale for our cellular results. Our study establishes an essential requirement for ADF/cofilin proteins in the control of normal cortical contractility and in processes such as mitotic karyokinesis. We propose that ADF/cofilin proteins are necessary for controlling actomyosin assembly and intracellular contractile force generation, a function of equal physiological importance to their established roles in mediating F-actin turnover.

Open source software has been around for decades; however it has only recently begun picking-up momentum. Today, large multinational software companies such as Microsoft have begun embracing the open source movement. Is the open source movement a threat to such a company as Microsoft or does it present new opportunities?
"In its history, Microsoft has appeared to understand that allowing people to access their products outside the rules has served to their benefit. This sort of thinking is likely to be behind their leniency towards allowing a jail breaking mobile application to be available through the Windows Phone Marketplace. Microsoft seems to understand that by opening up its system, they will be supporting innovation," commented Kareem Tawansi, CEO of software development provider, Solentive Software.
"Furthermore, by allowing the operating system to be used outside of the way it was intended, there appears to be opportunities to target a new market for the Windows Phone 7 device," concluded Kareem.

Topic: Black Beauty
Describe how Jerry helps a young woman who wants to take her child to the hospital?
Anna Sewell's Black Beauty
1 Answer | add yours
In Chapter 43, Jerry is working on election day when he and Beauty take a lunch break. There is general pandemonium as people race their carriages back and forth on the full streets, people are knocked down, and many men are drunk. Before Jerry and Beauty, or Jack, as Jerry calls him, are finished with their lunches, a poor young woman comes before them, carrying a heavy child whom she says needs to go to the hospital. She tells Jerry that a doctor has told her the boy may again be able to walk if she can bring him.
"Pray sir, can you tell me how far it is? And which way it is?"
"Why, missus!" said Jerry. "You can't get there walking through crowds like this! Why, it is three miles away and the child is heavy."
The brave poor woman cannot rent a cab, so she tells Jerry she is strong and can make the walk. But, the good Samaritan Jerry insists that she get into the cab, and he will drive her there, for the rain is going to come. When she tells him she cannot pay, Jerry explains that he, too, is a father. "I'd be ashamed of myself to let a woman and a sick child run a risk like that."
Just as she is about to climb in, two gentlemen rush into the cab. "Engaged," Jerry tells them; however, they argue that they are in first. To this remark, Jerry tells them they are welcome to rest themselves in his cab and turns his back. When the men leave angrily, Jerry then takes the woman to the hospital. As she steps down, Jerry quotes, "Inasmuch as ye have done it to one of the least of these."

How far into the future does this show take place exactly? If it was stated in the episode itself I did not catch it. Really the only date stated in the show was "Vintage auto parts from 2072" So the show must be quite a bit further then fifty years in the future for 2072 to be Vintage.
Really what is the state of the future of this Earth? Is most of America like Detroit Deluxe or closer to old Detroit/motorcity. Is America even still around (probably) but if it's not say the major cities are still around and all controlled by people like Kane. Now I;m sure these questions will be answered but it feels like we should know more from the start.
I can't help but feel that they could have done a much better job setting up the setting for the show. Maybe if this was a two parter instead of a single episode the set up would have been better.
I really hope this show is not all style over substance because as great as style as and as much style as this show has it can only drive the show for so long. Pun completly intended.

That was pretty much my only complaint about the first episode. At the very least, I would've expected Kane to seem like a benevolent futurist when talking to the public, more like a Steve Jobs sort of figure - revered as an innovator rather than a dictator. Instead he just always comes off as a villain, regardless of whom he's addressing.
That aside, Motorcity is very, very impressive. I will be following this one with much enthusiasm.

The best Spectacular Spider-Man tumblr ever: GOOP IN MY HAIR
First of all, I have to say that I'm really digging the character designs. I love this art style.
As to the show, like others, my biggest complaint was with the villain. I also hope the team faces more opponents than just robots every week. But, overall, I found the episode pretty enjoyable. I'll definitely be back next week.
BTW, who did the voice of Julie? Was that Madeleine "Fiona" Martin? I need to ask because I was totally wrong on the Steve Blum thing.
From the Disney XD Media page:
Could have sworn that it was Grey Delisle doing Julie, but it seems like half the female voices on the air are Grey Delisle to me. Then again, maybe it's because she actually is like half the female voices on the air today .Reid Scott ("My Boys") as Mike; Nate Torrence ("She's Out of My League") as Chuck; Kate Micucci ("When in Rome") as Julie; Kel Mitchell ("Kenan and Kel") as Dutch; Jess Harnell ("Drawn Together") as Texas; and Mark Hamill ("Star Wars") as Abraham Kane.

Kate Micucci? Dang! Good thing I did ask.
Kel Mitchell from Kenan and Kel? My god, I haven't seen him in years!
Really? I probably get Reid Scott gets confused by Steve Blum but Grey DeLisle didn't came to mind when hearing Julie but can't blame you, she's the female version of Frank Welker when it comes to voice alot of characters :P.
Well Kel's been doing voice acting lately like the Ant from Pink Panther and Pals

And here I thought Texas was Patrick Warburton. I'm just getting confused with the voices.
It is a very Warburton-esque so that's understandable.

Woah. This was actually pretty good. The plot was all around okay, nothing that engaging IMO. But I particularly liked Abraham Kane, Mark Hamil I think does a great job, and is probably the reason I like Abraham in the first place.
The characters were all fun, especially Texas. All the action scenes were well executed.
Really get a Sym-Bionic Titans vibe from this, enjoyed it a lot.
This show is a step in the right direction for Disney XD, Which needs more action shows other than Spiderman/Avengers.
"Anyone can be a hero, even a man who did something so simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders, to let him know the world hadn't ended."- Bruce Wayne/Batman
Meant to get to this sooner, but things got in the way.
There is a featurette of Chris Prynocki and Disney's Eric Coleman talking about the show, and they mentioned Robin Hood as a touchstone for this series. In relation to your questions, I think they may be interesting but they ultimately don't really need answers. The setting for the show is Motorcity and Deluxe, just as the setting for Robin Hood is Sherwood Forest and Nottingham. It's not relevant what happened to King Richard during the Crusades, how Sir Guy of Gisborne and the Sheriff of Nottingham seized power, or what else the other realms of England are doing because the story is about Robin Hood. It might be interesting to know what's happening to the other cities or what's happening to America, but that's really not where the story is focused, just as Robin Hood doesn't go outside Nottingham.
I also appreciate the fact that the show doesn't waste a lot of time in open exposition, and delivers whatever you need to know on the fly. I'd rather they keep pushing forward rather than spending a lot of time looking back or around.

Titmouse released a neat 11 minute video showing how scenes go from their rough to final forms. It includes a lot of new footage to boot (new stuff starts around the 4:45 mark). Texas' scene is hilarious. It's just ridiculous how good this show looks in HD (watch the HD version of the clip if you can. It really suits the format nicely).
Yup. It's a signature. Go away if you're expecting something interesting here.
I dunno about bad story telling, I was too busy being swept up in the incredible animation and action sequences, this show is awesome!

Ex-Georgia Prison Guard Guilty In Contraband Scheme
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) - A former east Georgia prison guard has been sentenced to more than two years of probation for trying to smuggle contraband into the Augusta State Medical Prison.
Sources report 25-year-old Lance D. Driggers pleaded guilty Thursday in Richmond County Superior Court and was sentenced under the First Offender Act.
Assistant District Attorney Falin Syms says Driggers was caught in early February with four quart-sized and two gallon-sized bags of loose tobacco and 15 packages of cigarette rolling papers.

NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution's Steve Harvey, the sleeper hit among this season's crop of new syndicated talk shows, has been renewed for a second season. It joins ABC's Katie Couric's Katie, which had a two-year deal from the get-go, as the two freshman syndicated talkers to be locked in for next fall. The odds for the rest are slim at best. Endemol-produced Steve Harvey has delivered strong demo ratings, improving dramatically its time periods and providing great lead-in for Ellen on the NBC stations, boosting the ratings for Ellen DeGeneres' veteran talk show.
good news
I look forward to watch Steve Harvey talk show! he gives me inspiration with how he interacts with his guest(s). Steve gives me hope in my personal life. Steve gives me hope and inspiration that all is good! he shows a different perspective which makes me smile laugh and most of all believe in myself! he is awesome!
"Thinking like a man" still upsets the man. I feel we women have to "think like a man" but we have to pick our disputes and arguments. Somehow give the man credit and let him believe it was his idea and solution that brings peace and harmony back into the relationship.

I can't decide which way to stitch this one together.
Lot's of self backed pennies in shades of yummy creamy off whites.
What's your preference?
It's been a beautiful sunny weekend here.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends!
From the beginnings to the finishings...recycling wool into penny rugs and more
I used a lightweight wool with interfacing attached.
It would be easier to work without the interfacing on this small version.
I drew and cut lining pieces, also using the large template, from printed cotton. Note: allow about 1/2" of fabric all around. |
Here I've drawn the smaller shape so you can see to make a running stitch all around,
skip over the corners. |
Layer the batting between your petal and your outer fabric .
Note: batting only necessary if you want a puffy soft outer side. |
Here I am making a simple whip stitch to join the first side. |
Now the second side |
more of the second side |
On the third side or the opening, stitch up from each point just a bit.
Make a strong overcast tack stitch.
You're done. Squeeze both ends to open. |
My thimble purse! |

Publisher's Description
Cindys church is getting ready to celebrate Easter, and Jeremiahs Temple is preparing for Passover when Cindy literally stumbles over the body of an unknown man lying dead in the sanctuary. The church was locked, and a bloody cross necklace on the floor seems to be the only clue. The killer is likely a member of the congregation, but there are hints that similar deaths have happened in the past. Are Cindy and Jeremiah dealing with a serial killer? They have to unravel the clues before Easter Sunday arrives and more people die.
Cindy and Jeremiah come from two different worlds, even though they work right next door to each other. Cindy is a strong Christian who lives a normal but somewhat dull life, working as a church secretary. Jeremiah is a Reformed rabbi with a mysterious past full of danger and excitement. But one eventful Easter/Passover week, the two find themselves working together to solve a murder and stop a serial killer from striking again. Solving the mystery should put an end to their alliance, but the church secretary and the rabbi quickly find themselves enmeshed in another mystery. Soon the two form a friendly alliance and friendship, exploring personal history and faith and growing closer with each passing adventure. Despite their differences Cindy and Jeremiah find a lot of common ground.

Incompetent with poor Customer service – My new house was a foreclosure that already had a furnace with an evaporator coil installed by another contractor. SHELL was contracted by the bank to finish up the installation of the heating and air system.
They installed 2 YORK outdoor compressor units. The first floor system is working fine (for now). But the second system for the top two floors of the house is not cooling properly. They sent a tech out to diagnose the problem and it was discovered that the Evaporator Coil (which was already installed in the house before they were contracted) has an "R-22 Expansion Value" and the York Compressor unit that they installed is a 410a cooling system.
The fix for this: replace the Expansion value with one that is for a 410a cooling system. About $250.00.
The Manufacture's Label on the Evaporator Coil states the unit is either R22/410a unit (which is the only info that Schell Heating & Air remembers), BUT IT ALSO SAYS: Model number ######### + V R22 NON BLEED V. Which mean (even for a lay person) that an R-22 Expansion Value is installed on the coil.
Any good Heating & Air company would have looked for possible miss matches in the system in this type of installation (finishing a job that another contractor started). But because of Schell's incompetence, and the fact that Schell knows that I have a Builder's warranty, they will not come out to fix the problem with being paid.
I believe since the System wasn't properly installed from the beginning that Schell should have correct this issue at no charge to me or my Builder's warranty. But I had to hire another Contractor to fix this problem.

WIMBLEDON, England — Having lost in the first round of the year's first two Grand Slam tournaments, Thousand Oaks' Sam Querrey looked for a change in fortune during the second day of first-round matches at Wimbledon on Tuesday.
Facing 47th-ranked Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine, Querrey won two close sets before finally securing the victory when Stakhovsky was forced to retire trailing 2-1 in the third set. Querrey had won the first two sets 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Querrey, seeded No. 18, has a six-match winning streak after capturing the grass-court tuneup tournament at Queen's Club 11 days ago.
Stakhovsky, who won last week's grass-court tuneup at Den Bosch, Netherlands, hit more winners than Querrey in the match (49-44) and had fewer unforced errors (21, to Querrey's 26). But Querrey converted one more break-point opportunity and that was the edge he needed.
Querrey's next opponent will be Ivan Dodig of Croatia on Thursday. That match will be their first career meeting.
Elsewhere on Tuesday, 2008 champion Rafael Nadal made a victorious return to the All England Club. As usual, Nadal did not take a single point for granted in his first-round match.
Trying to switch directions while chasing a shot beneath the royal box at Wimbledon's Centre Court, Nadal lost his footing and took a nasty looking spill, flinging his racket in the air while he fell.
The Spaniard was OK, even if he did land on his back behind the baseline and glanced overhead to make sure his equipment wasn't going to nail him in the noggin. Nadal toweled off and, four games later, wrapped up a 6-2, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Japan's Kei Nishikori.
It was merely a coincidence, of course, that Nadal's third-set tumble left him in nearly the same position, and in the same spot, that he found himself the last time he played a match at Wimbledon, almost two full years ago. Except on that occasion, he was dropping to the grass on purpose to celebrate beating Roger Federer in the '08 final.
Nadal didn't defend that championship, withdrawing last year because of painful tendinitis in his knees. Now he's healthy, reinstated at No. 1 in the rankings, once again the reigning French Open champion — and back on what he called "probably the most beautiful and emblematic court in the world."
Said Nadal: "I'm happy to be here again."
He's also happy to be able to scamper around a court as only he can, knowing his knees won't let him down.
Another past Wimbledon winner coming off an injury, Maria Sharapova, also played Tuesday, and also won convincingly, eliminating 127th-ranked Anastasia Pivovarova of Russia 6-1, 6-0 in only 54 minutes.
Sharapova had right shoulder surgery in October 2008 and was sidelined for about 10 months, then was hampered by a right elbow injury this season. She's had to toy with her service motion, in addition to confronting worries about when she would regain the strokes that helped her win Wimbledon at age 17 in 2004, then two other Grand Slam titles.
"You never know until things happen. I mean, I believed that I would be back. Did I really know? I assumed, and I had a lot of belief in myself, and I had a tremendous amount of support from the people around me," said Sharapova, who won 30 of 37 points on her serve Tuesday. "But you never really know till it happens."
And these days, is her best tennis enough to beat anyone?
"Absolutely," Sharapova said.
Joining her in the second round were defending champion Serena Williams, who pounded 15 aces in a 6-0, 6-4 victory over 17-year-old Michelle Larcher de Brito of Portugal to improve to 43-0 in first-round Grand Slam matches; two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova, who overcame 16 aces by Akgul Amanmuradova of Uzbekistan and won 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-4; and No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki, No. 7 Agnieszka Radwanska, No. 9 Li Na and No. 10 Flavia Pennetta.
But No. 6 Samantha Stosur, the runner-up at the French Open a little more than two weeks ago, lost to 80th-ranked qualifier Kaia Kanepi of Estonia 6-4, 6-4. The woman who beat Stosur at Roland Garros, first-time major champion Francesca Schiavone, bowed out of Wimbledon on Monday.
The only other seeded woman who lost Tuesday was No. 25 Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic.
Four seeded men exited, and three are from Spain: No. 8 Fernando Verdasco, No. 19 Nicolas Almagro, and No. 14 Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion. The other was No. 24 Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, the 2006 Australian Open runner-up.
Winners included No. 4 Andy Murray, two-time French Open finalist Robin Soderling, No. 9 David Ferrer and No. 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Murray is the only British man or woman still left, making this the first time in tournament history that the hosts have but one representative in the second round.
"It's not great, is it?" Murray said.
For all of Nadal's success at the French Open — he is 38-1 there, with five championships in six years — he considers his Wimbledon trophy his most significant accomplishment. Having to pull out of the grass-court Grand Slam tournament in 2009 was part of a tough season that also included his only loss at Roland Garros and, away from the court, his parents' separation.
"We had many problems last year, with the knees and many things. After Roland Garros, it was a difficult decision not playing here," said Toni Nadal, Rafael's uncle and coach. "When you are the (defending) champion, you want to at least come here to play. But that's life."
Nadal is seeded second behind six-time Wimbledon champion Federer, who struggled in his first match Monday, coming back to win after dropping the opening two sets. Nadal faced no such dangers against the 189th-ranked Nishikori, who was honored as the 2008 ATP newcomer of the year after becoming the first Japanese man since 1937 to reach the U.S. Open's fourth round, but then missed time with a right elbow injury.
"If I hit one easy shot, he's going to hit winners. So it wasn't easy for me," Nishikori said. "I think he was playing really well today."
If Nishikori is still trying to re-establish himself, Nadal clearly has recovered from his knee issues, going 22-0 on clay this spring.
Now his indefatigable style is once again on display at Wimbledon.
"This year, I worked a lot to be here," Nadal said. "I'm perfect. Concentrated. Very motivated."

Selling a Dollar for More Than a Dollar? Evidence from Online Penny Auctions
Online penny auctions, emerged recently, are seen as an adaptation of the famous dollar auction and as ?the evil stepchild of game theory and behavioral economics.?We use the complete bid and bidder history at a website to study if penny auctions can sustain excessive pro?fits over time. The overwhelming majority of new bidders lose money, but they quit quickly. A very small percentage of bidders are experienced and strategically sophisticated, but they earn substantial profi?ts. Our evidence thus suggests that penny auctions cannot sustain excessive pro?fits without attracting a revolving door of new customers who will lose money.Download Info

5.4L That sounds like a diesel
I have a 2000 F-150 4x4 with the 5.4L, at idle, under load such as going up a hill and when it is first warming up there is a ticking noise coming from the motor that makes it almost sound like a diesel. Has anyone had any experience with this or know what it may be? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
October 26th, 2007, 04:24 PM | #2 | |
Senior Member
The "diesel" thing makes me immediately think of spark knock though. if it were mine I'd take a listen under the hood and try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from. You can use a screw driver to act as a stethoscope by putting the tip on something and your ear to the handle of it (or just get a diag stethoscope, they're not expensive).....if it's the front of the motor = timing chain. Hard to tell without hearing the noise |
October 26th, 2007, 04:28 PM | #3 |
Thanks I will check it out. At first I thought it was the plugs too but I recently replaced them and it still is doing it. I will take a listen and see if it is coming from the front and check out the timing chain.
October 26th, 2007, 04:59 PM | #4 |
it could be you injectors. My 04 f-150 has the ticking sound as well. I first thought something was wrong and was told it was the Injectors. The injectors on my truck open up .020-.025 thousands then snap close. which makes the ticking sound.

Ok I just got back in from checking and sounds more like it could be the injectors. When I put the screwdriver to the motor the noise is louder coming from the valve covers especially on the rh side.

Injectors will sound more like a lifter tick, not a diesel (spark knock is about the only thing I can honestly think of that makes a gasoline engine sound like a diesel)
October 26th, 2007, 05:40 PM | #7 |
Any ideas on how to fix that then? I already replaced the plugs or would I have to take it to a dealership or shop? I mean I have 124,000+ miles on it but they are mostly highway (since I bought it) from driving back and forth to Texas. I have not noticed any significant loss in power or performance or anything its just the noise that annoys me at times.

While the noise could be spark knock (would make it sound like a diesel) I doubt it is...that PCM has a knock sensor that will retard ignition timing and richen the fuel mixture in an effort to prevent spark knock from occuring. Its possible, but I doubt it is the noise (because if it was and it was constant like you say, the motor would be smoked by now or well on its way out) If it were me, I'd make sure it's not the timing chain.....if it doesnt sound like the noise is comming from the front of the motor (keep in mind the timing chain does run all the way from the crank up to the heads as its an OHC motor) I really wouldn't worry about it. If it's a lifter tick, I'd drive it.... Something I would say is this.....I have heard these motors make noise without the correct weight oil in them....make sure it's got the specified oil in it.... I'm sure someone else will pipe in with a comment as well |
October 27th, 2007, 11:14 AM | #9 |
I changed the oil and put it 5w-30 which is what was called for which quieted the noise for a little bit but about 1000 miles later it came right back. Ah well I'm gonna keep on runnin it, hopefully it's nothin big. Thanks for all the input!

Your Nebels are Werfed.
The last time I heard a Ford sound like a diesel it was a clogged pick up screen on the oil pump. The needle on the gauge stuck right at 55 psi and the oil pump failed... sounded like a diesel and drove him crazy for three days (not driving it) until the gauge got jostled and he nearly had a heart attack.
A long shot but possibly your valve train is being starved of oil? If you changed your oil to a lighter weight and it helped.. it's always a possibility worth checking into.
-Jeremy Werfin' nebels yo! |
November 16th, 2007, 05:55 PM | #13 |
Well I just got back from the Ford dealership and found out that all 1997 and up 4.6L and 5.4L motors were changed to using 5w-20 oil in the motor due to the lower valve clearance, hence that could be a big part of what is causing the noise (according to them) because that is not what was used in my motor on the last oil change.

Cold piston slap they changed the piston wrist pin offset, I was told was one of the reasons that and short skirted pistons. My 99 got replaced at 25K for this reason going through a drive thru at idle and cold was when it sounded the worst. The oil suggestion was a band-aid fix imo.
Not anything that I was concerned about ruining the motor but it was annoying and did not give me much confidence. It was replaced under warranty with an older motor. So I sold it the next year :) |
November 18th, 2007, 05:59 PM | #15 |
Not a ford, but my last 5.3 chevy sounded like a diesel on cold start up. 173,000 miles when i sold it. Piston slap was the cause. Seems that piston slap is a huge durability issue
As for your truck I would determine what is actually making the noise rather then just driving it and ignoring it. |

Windows doesn't use DirectX for its main GUI-drawing functions (yet, anyway... Longhorn will be a very different story). It uses GDI. There's a very good review of Longhorn's graphics architecture at Extremetech. But yes, it's safe to assume that GDI is probably faster than Quartz, but this is rather like saying that QuickDraw under OS9 is faster as well. They are very different beasts.

2-in/2-out makes NO distinction between career and volunteer FF's.
From OSHA:
Procedures for IDLH atmospheres. For all IDLH atmospheres, the employer shall ensure that:
One employee or, when needed, more than one employee is located outside the IDLH atmosphere;
Visual, voice, or signal line communication is maintained between the employee(s) in the IDLH atmosphere and the employee(s) located outside the IDLH atmosphere;
The employee(s) located outside the IDLH atmosphere are trained and equipped to provide effective emergency rescue;
The employer or designee is notified before the employee(s) located outside the IDLH atmosphere enter the IDLH atmosphere to provide emergency rescue;
The employer or designee authorized to do so by the employer, once notified, provides necessary assistance appropriate to the situation;
Employee(s) located outside the IDLH atmospheres are equipped with:
Pressure demand or other positive pressure SCBAs, or a pressure demand or other positive pressure supplied-air respirator with auxiliary SCBA; and either
Appropriate retrieval equipment for removing the employee(s) who enter(s) these hazardous atmospheres where retrieval equipment would contribute to the rescue of the employee(s) and would not increase the overall risk resulting from entry; or
Equivalent means for rescue where retrieval equipment is not required under paragraph (g)(3)(vi)(B).
Procedures for interior structural firefighting. In addition to the requirements set forth under paragraph (g)(3), in interior structural fires, the employer shall ensure that:
At least two employees enter the IDLH atmosphere and remain in visual or voice contact with one another at all times;
At least two employees are located outside the IDLH atmosphere; and
All employees engaged in interior structural firefighting use SCBAs.
Note 1 to paragraph (g): One of the two individuals located outside the IDLH atmosphere may be assigned to an additional role, such as incident commander in charge of the emergency or safety officer, so long as this individual is able to perform assistance or rescue activities without jeopardizing the safety or health of any firefighter working at the incident.
Note 2 to paragraph (g): Nothing in this section is meant to preclude firefighters from performing emergency rescue activities before an entire team has assembled.
Volunteer fire fighters are considered employees for the sake of OSHA regulations.-------------------

It is important to point out that in the eye's of OSHA, there is no difference between career and volunteer members. Also, most state's have state law that references the OSHA standard in text and therfore is enforceable. In the State of Wisconsin, it is Comm 30.
Even if your state does not recognize OSHA, it will be referenced in court if something were to happen. This is especially true in cases were an agency knowingly accepted a lower standard and death/injury resulted.
With that said, there is still much debate on 2 IN/ 2 OUT. I can tell you from first hand experience that it is effective and it does help push the politicians into making decisions on staffing when high profile homes/businesses suffer losses becuase proper staffing was not present. Firefighter safety is first and foremost. PERIOD. Effective and Efficient Services requires Staffing!

Thanks for ya'lls input. We're just having a big problem with staffing (along with everybody else) and we're trying to figure out how to convince people that we need more Firefighters. We've been on working house fires before when none of the volunteers have shown up to help and theres only 5 of us on duty between 2 stations. (And thats assuming that nobody called in sick)

Been down that road before. The advice I offer is to first make it clear to all your members that this is a FF safety issue and it is the job of the officers and chiefs to make sure that every FF returns home. Educate your politicians. Do they really understand the safety issues involved with this and what the impact of low staffing means? Educate the community as well. They will determine your staffing levels. If the public cries out for improved service, the politicians will perk up and take note.
Safety is first. This may mean waiting that extra few minutes outside pending no immediate life safety issue. This may mean a higher dollar loss because interior operations could not start sooner due to low staffing.
Personal Liabilities for non-compliance.
I would want to educate the volunteers that violating any safety rule could void payment on workmens compensation injury claims. Federal line of duty death benefits could be voided for willful negligence.

Nice catch. Very excellent point. My department dealt with this issue for many years and finally we were able to beef up our daily roster to exceed the 2 In/2 Out requirement. We went from two on the initial response to nine. The positive impact this has had cannot be described in words. This does not include any paid on call staff on the initial response. Do we still need more? Yes we do but we will take what we can get.
Members of any department who are against having a back up crew outside need to recognize the fact that today's standards have changed. Our fires have changed. Safety is now more critical than ever before with no thanks to light weight construction. Some may argue that this is even more the reason as to why we need to get in much sooner. This may be, but what if the initial attack team goes through the floor? Who will be outside ready to come and get them out? There is a huge difference in having someone outside verses someone outside who is dressed, packed up and ready to go in if needed.

Not to muddy the waters or take away from 2-in/2-out, but it is important to note that "2-in/2-out" does not scale to requiring "4-in/4-out", "6-in/6-out". It only states that you need 1 (or 2) out. So with the crew of five, you'd end up with 2 in, 2 out and a Pump Operator/Incident Commander.
I personally do not like exception that one person can be assigned another task such as Incident Command, since if there is a rescue situation, the Incident Command role will become even more important to allocate resources appropriately. Of course everyone's situation may be different, and in a short staffed area, it is obviously something that may be required.

I have a specific interest that I want to have fulfilled before I get more into BlazBlue as my "next game." I'm a big fan of SSBM (Super Smash Bros Melee) but I want to be able to play a fighter online due to how convenient it is. I'm looking at buying a 360 or PS3 version of BBCSX, but I'm not too sure which one I should go for. What I want is a game that has enough people playing online that I can actually play some games for an hour or two without waiting 5-10 minutes for a 99 second match.
Which console has the more stable online community? Or are they pretty much the same?

A splendid capture - I've found and read a interesting article on the "Controversy"
Thanks for drawing our attention to it

Now that's a real sky! Northern pink can look incredibly cold...
I found the whole Landscape Photographer of the Year business quite amusing, because the direction of the shadows was so obviously false - it's why I hate replacement backgrounds of any kind, the light will almost always look 'wrong', and light is everything.

The castle is well placed in the gap in those fabulously coloured clouds, Phil. Good foreground and lead in as well.
