CMA-CGM's Beirut headquarters is located with views of the port and the Mediterranean beyond — a fitting site for a company dedicated to global shipping. The company made the choice to build an office with a high level of sustainability as a way of reducing costs and increasing comfort, hoping that future development in the area will follow its lead. Three glass prisms with narrow floor plates are joined by a central atrium with a design that achieves a greater efficiency and flexibility in space planning. All employees have access to views, daylight and a column-free space in which to work.
The building's innovative facade features fixed vertical Pietra Serena stone sun screen shading elements on the southwest facade. A ventilated screen facade faces the northeast and northwest, and a high selective glass minimizes solar gains in addition to protecting the area against external noise. Daylighting reduces the need for artificial lighting and cooling. The roof is covered with photovoltaic panels and solar tubes to supplement electrical energy and domestic hot water in the bathrooms and kitchens. Rain water is collected and used for irrigation and re circulated to feed grey water networks. The lobby features an impressive 40-meter-long water wall and reflection pool that filters and ripples the street views from the lobby, creating a serene atmosphere and establishing the company's maritime heritage all while cooling of the space.

Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
Thank you very much for your input and feedback Shaneripley81, and BeredKaiNev. COOL photo, Bi Married Male.
I love rimming, and did it instinctively the first time I had sex, like several other posters.
I particularly love rimming Asian men, be they top or bottom. Some tops don't let you near their asses, but I love nothing better than orally servicing a top's ass before he penetrates mine. And as for getting a bottom ready, well, rimming a cute Asian guy's smooth asshole before I introduce my cock is the best way to make sure he is super-sensitive and willing to take it. Much better than fingering!
I love licking a mans asshole especially when he knows it's dirty and forces it on me.The thought of cleaning his ass just sends me right over the edge every time and I go to a very special place.
Ooooo that smell ! There is nothing hotter
I love butts too. A few other threads here on this same topic:

Thank you very much for sharing, Gt90909. Out of curiosity, do you prefer Asian men in general or do you just prefer to rim Asian men vs. men of other races and nationalities?
Thank you Asssniffer, I enjoyed hearing about your love of the male asshole.
Bw92116, I send to you a special thanks for all of the COOL links. I know that I and so many other men reading this post, will really enjoy them as well. Thank so much for sharing them with us.
Incarlsbed and Asssniffer, I wish I could appreciate an unclean hole . . . it sounds so good and tasty on paper, but once I get a whiff of poo smell, I feel like I'm going to vomit. I guess that borders too close to scat, and I'm not into scat . . . unless you call getting off on HOT & SEXY men shooting clean streams of water out of their assholes (via an enema, i.e. in the photos below). Thanks for the photos, Incarlsbed.
As with other fetishes, being "into scat" seems to mean different things to different people. Unlike some guys, I don't eat a plateful of turds or let a guy dump into my mouth, but I enjoy shit in other ways. To each his own.
i always make sure to eat out my bf when we're fucking, i like to do it for as long as i can hold out before i just HAVE to fuck him, i love it. I love to feel his insides, and to see how far i can get my tongue inside him.
not only that, i LOVE to make him moan when i rim him, makes me hornier when guys moan
This thread just got me so hard! I have such a huge obsession/fetish with guys assholes!
[QUOTE=shaneripley81;8348160]My current boyfriend loves to eat my ass and prefers it unshaved. (I shave my cock and balls, leaving it hairy around my hole just for him.) Usually, he'll spend at least a half hour licking my ass each time we have sex, and he tells me all the time how much he loves eating my hot, hairy ass.
My question is:
How many of you prefer their men to have hairy assholes, or do you prefer them clean shaven?
I prefer hairy. will still rim a shaved ass, but burying my face in a hairy bum and getting a whiff of his scent drives me crazy.
Definitely hairy. A guy just seems more manly that way.
Well, I'm with someone new now, and he prefers a clean-shaven ass. He says that he doesn't like getting ass hair stuck in his teeth, and a shaved ass appears to be cleaner and more erotic for him...so I'm shaving now.
(I aim to please.)
That sounds nice!
I want U Sooo bad to do my asshole
I'm not sure why, but the last couple of years I've had an insatiable craving for a man's arsehole, especially hairy.
This thread has made me bone hard and leaking pre-cum.
Yes I do. I love butts as much as I love dicks
I love to eat assholes and i love to have mine eaten!
In my case Sshadow84, I have not come across a lot of gay men into rimming (giving or receiving), yet most of the time, I found it was far easier to find a guy willing to have his ass eaten vs. finding guys that will eat my ass. Yet maybe it is just a generational thing with me being 49 now. Whereas I have come across JUB members between about 18 - 35 that have said that they have not found this to be the case with the guys they play with . . . and it seems like they never have trouble very easily finding suitable sex partners for rimming (both giving and receiving) . . . so it sounds like I was born too soon. LOL!!!
Hey Wilson,
every guy I've hooked up with is really into rimming. They love licking my ass. Personally, I don't feel much when they're down there eating my ass. I thought it would drive me crazy, with so many nerve endings down there, but alas, I don't feel much at all :/ however, i LOVE to rim guys asses. love to have another twink sit on my face, or we get in the 69 position to rim each other simultaneously. Maybe it is a generational thing, but i've hooked up with guys in their 40's who are quite aggressive in the rimming
Last edited by BFF-Dildo; September 30th, 2012 at 02:43 PM.
Several years ago, I met a guy (at a gay social organization) that I was very attracted to. It did not take long before we both realized that we were both attracted to each other . . . yet when we started talking about dating, we started feeling each other out in regards to what we liked sexually. When I said that I was into rimming, the guy was thoroughly discussed at the idea and went on some very negative heated rant about it . . . so I knew then, that he would never eat my ass, yet I also knew that he would never let me eat his ass. So I had to stop pusuing him.
There is some sad disconnect in me, as a gay man....I have never found it sensual, to have mine touched or touching another guy's. Obviously, you guys see it as something wonderful, as part of the whole experience of the male physique. It's as if 100% of your gay brains are fully functional, but only 50% of mine is. It's a large strange world out there. Honestly, am ashamed to admit this on this site. Just be grateful that all your gay senses are intact and attuned to something marvelous.
Yet it is nice to read that at least with some of the younger JUB members, that have been chiming-in on this topic, it seems that they are not having the problems that I did, in regards to finding suitable rimming partners when I was there age.
Yet the bottom line is, rimming, the attracting to the male ass and asshole is not for everybody . . . I guess that is why some consider this a fetish . . . kinda like other things that guys get into, that I have no interest in or sexual things that turn me totally off. Or kinda of how many straight guys LOVE womens breast (i.e. the bigger the better).
Yet again, I have no interest in scat. I can "only" eat a super clean asshole. Once I smell poop, that kills my desire and boner. Yet there are guys that can only get & keep a boner and get off when a guy has a dirty hole. Go and figure eh? Yet I don't fault them or anyone with how they get off for the most part . . . I think that it just comes down to how we are wired.
OH I WISH my tongue was this long to do this.
What is it about rimming that most gets you going? Is it the feeling, is it the smell, is it the taste, is it the taboo, is it the intimacy,or is it someting else?
god i love to rim a hot ass hole. i could make a whole meal on a nice smooth pink one. hairy are ok. i also love it when the guy is moaning when your tongue fucking him and licking and sucking his hole
If you like ass check out my thread http://marcosrossi.tumblr.com/
It's been ten years since my current boyfriend has had more than a finger in his tight ass, and now he finally wants me to fuck him. He has even designated an evening for me to take my time with his ass, making sure I loosen him first with my tongue and fingers before inching my thick cock into his beautiful hole. I already love to lick around his asshole, but just the thought of spending an extended period lapping at his hole, probing my tongue deep inside of it, has my cock rock hard and my mind very much distracted...can't wait!
- - - Updated - - -
I've been with my current boyfriend for about 2 months now. The thing is, we are both primarily tops (Him for 10 years, me for about 3) and bottoming is something new for both of us to experience. We both love to rim, so I guess penetration was the next natural step, with me going first. It was rough at first, but I can honestly say I now enjoy him slamming his thick Italian cock into my tight hole on a regular basis. He's eager for me to fuck him almost as much as I am, and he knows that I'm gonna take my time and make sure his ass is properly prepared for my cock.

July 16 - Chairman Frank Lucas of Oklahoma issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2642, the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management (FARRM) Act of 2013 by a vote of 216-208.
"Today was an important step toward enacting a five-year farm bill this year that gives our farmers and ranchers certainty, provides regulatory relief to small businesses across the country, significantly reduces spending, and makes common-sense, market-oriented reforms to agricultural policy. I look forward to continuing conversations with my House colleagues and starting conversations with my Senate colleagues on a path forward that ultimately gets a farm bill to the President's desk in the coming months."

It cracks me up how the team names are always, always based on the color of the uniforms. One year my daughter's team was the Green Dragonflies, but that was long for cheering parents to shout, and eventually got shortened to Green Dragons.

I appreciate the lane is for cyclists but 45kph down a bike lane past gridlocked traffic, I think there is the potential for a lot of harm to come your way, even if you're 100% in the right.
As much as cars need to beware etc etc these guys closed 6-8 car lengths in a second or so and but for my reflexes and awareness would have gone straight over my hood.
It is always the responsibility of the person entering the traffic flow to ensure that ALL lanes are clear before moving....
While legally queegueg is right. It is just plain dangerous to have a large speed differential to the traffic next to you when there is lots of traffic. This true for cars, bikes buses or cars. Racing past stopped cars in a car is damn dangerous too. Likewise riding in a bike traffic lane on a multi lane 80kph road with heavy traffic is down right deadly.
Some things come down to behaving safely and sensibly. Even if you are behaving legally.
I certainly don't see any of the buses/taxis in the same lane slowing down. The whole point of the bus lanes is to allow the buses to flow while the other traffic is gridlocked!

Great Carbon By Mark on 12/23/2014Mark would recommend this product to a friendI've been using this is a filter sock on my hob filter. It does a great job keeping my water crystal clear. A little of this carbon treats a lot of water. I like that since it keeps the price down.
Only one use By Greenstreet on 12/21/2014Greenstreet would recommend this product to a friendHelps keep my water very clean
Wonderful! By GARY on 12/15/2014GARY would recommend this product to a friendI am not an experienced aquarist; but I an say that My tank looks like it has no water in it when I use this stuff and still does after 2 Weeks in a heavily stocked tank. A little bit goes a long way, so is cheap to buy, really.
Worth the extra cost...but still not expensive By Bruce on 12/14/2014Bruce would recommend this product to a friendLove the extra capacity and low dust with this stuff. I'm short on space under/around my 90g mixed reef so I mix about 1 part High Capacity GFO & 2 parts BRS Premium ROX Carbon in a BRS single reactor. With the mix you don't have the hassle of tweaking the flow to try to maintain the right amount of tumble for the GFO. Been running like this for about 6 months now and it is working well for me on a 2 week change out schedule.
Carbon Rox 0.8 By Joe on 12/10/2014Joe would recommend this product to a friendBest carbon on the market I buy the 5 gallon bucket. The water stays crystal clear. It takes about 15 seconds to rinse. I use it in the bulk reef supply Reactors.
Best carbon period By Ryan on 12/10/2014Ryan would recommend this product to a friendThis needs very little rinsing, makes the water crystal clear, and removes its share of toxins. However, one caveat is that if your system is normally dirty and you place this in-line, you may get a few unhappy corals/creatures who had grown reliant on a nutrient rich system. FYI. But I don't think its wise to have a dirty system anyway. This carbon is the best though, I'd run it without question, especially if you've got multiple anemones, etc.
This stuff is unbelievable By Alexander on 12/8/2014Alexander would recommend this product to a friendI am running an unpopulated tank while I get everything set up the way I like it before adding my marine environment.
I was getting calcium and the usual water type buildup until I added this to the filter. Not only has it made the water crystal clear, it's actually slowly removing some of the left over buildup that I missed cleaning. Since adding this carbon I have not had to take a single swipe to clean the unpopulated tank of buildup (a couple months so far)
Very impressed at how effective this is.
Best carbon available. By Nate on 12/8/2014Nate would recommend this product to a friendExpensive? Well it costs a lot to buy a 1/2 gallon jug, but this stuff is so good that you don't need to use as much as standard carbon so it really isnt that much more expensive. rinsing is quick as it is very low dust and does a wonderful job. My water has never been so clear.
Best carbon for your money! By Jmranslow on 12/5/2014Jmranslow would recommend this product to a friendBest carbon for your money. Makes my water crystal clear!
Best Carbon Peroid By Andrew on 12/3/2014Andrew would recommend this product to a friendI have been using this for about 2 months now and I have never seen my water so clear. I would recommend this to anyone as it is the best carbon i have ever used. I suggest running it in the BRS Deluxe Media Reactor.
A1 Quality By Terry on 11/30/2014Terry would recommend this product to a friendCan't say enough about BRS quality in ther products.
exelent By Nelson on 11/28/2014Nelson would recommend this product to a friendI'm not really the kind of guy who writes online reviews and stuff, but I have to give credit where credit is due. great job BRS with this carbon!

Previously Asked Questions
by Robert on February 28, 2014, @5:15 PM
How much carbon should I use? What's the carbon to gallon ratio for this carbon? Planning on putting it my my BRS dual reactor. Thanks!!
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Robert,
With the ROX carbon it comes out to 1 tablespoon per 10g of water. Or if you want to do the math the easy way, use the reef calculator found at this link:
by wing on January 20, 2014, @9:17 AM
How long will the media brs GFO high capacity & Premium POX 0.8 carbon be changed?
Bulk Reef Supply Its best to change carbon every two weeks. GFO on the other hand will vary depending on the amount of phosphates in the water. No need to change it until its depleted. Typically this is 4-6 weeks assuming normal dosages and normal phosphate levels but the best thing to do is monitor your phosphates for an increase, and change the GFO when the phosphates begin to rise.
by David on April 4, 2014, @6:01 PM
Which reactor do you recommend for the ROX 0.8 carbon? Do you have one that will compress it and keep it between filter pads where it can't escape to the tank?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey David,
The standard BRS reactor I think is the best for the ROX carbon. Its filter pads are fine enough that the carbon stays inside of them. There are a lot of great reactors out there, but with most of the other ones you will need to custom cut some filter floss material to keep the carbon from going through the sponges as its quite small.
by Rick on October 28, 2013, @11:56 AM
What kind of carbon is recommended to run in a reactor
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Rick,
It really depends on the reactor. The ROX carbon is the best carbon we sell, but because of its small particle size its well suited to reactors whose sponges have large holes in them. For those types of reactors the lignite carbon will be the best bet as its still performs better then most carbons while being a larger particle size.
ROX 0.8 is a specialty carbon extruded into tiny, extremely hard pellets resulting in less dust and reducing the amount of fines released into the water. It features high numbers of large and small pores giving it all the advantages of both lignite and bituminous carbons. ROX 0.8 will make your water crystal clear faster with less material.
BRS purchases our carbon directly from the manufacturer so we can offer the best carbon at reasonable prices. While most companies claim their carbon is the best, our statement is backed with true science and real numbers. Carbon is not created equal. Different sizes, shapes, and materials will perform with drastically varying results.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene
BloggersPeter Gianotti Erica Marcus Joan Reminick Marjorie Robins
Luso, Smithtown, to move to former Sizzler site
A sign in the window of the now-departed Sertino's Cafe in Smithtown announces that the site will soon be home to Luso, a Portuguese rodizio restaurant that's now located a few blocks east on Main Street.
Luso owner Luisa Batista said that the restaurant's current quarters are too small. The new and larger location — which, for years, housed a Sizzler restaurant — should be ready within a month. It will have an open kitchen, a bar and a "modern casual" look. An on-premise parking lot will be a real bonus.
Batista added that menu will remain the same, with the addition of a few new specials. A "rodizio" all you can eat option of various meats, sliced off skewers to order, will go for $33.95 a person.
Luso is at 101 E. Main St., Smithtown, 631-406-6820

Concert guide for March
WTOP's Tim Bracken
Tim Bracken,
WASHINGTON - This month's top events might bring back memories and help make some new ones.
Opening Friday, March 1, the Bethesda Theater is reborn as the Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club.
An $8 million renovation has transformed the old theater into a world-class concert venue with a capacity of 500 -- a combination of dinner seating and performance-only seats.
The club's opening weekend includes performances from jazz trumpeter Irvin Mayfield and jazz keyboardist/pianist Marcus Johnson.
In Alexandria, the Birchmere presents a three-night engagement with the Bacon Brothers, beginning March 1. Led by actor Kevin Bacon, the band has been touring and performing for over 15 years.
On Saturday, March 2, singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega is scheduled to perform at the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in the District.
The singer has released a series of four albums featuring stripped-down versions of her songs, titled "Close-Up."
"I wanted to reclaim my songs from the major labels who own the recordings," Vega tells WTOP in an email. "I thought the fans would like the songs without the productions of the '80s and '90s."
The series is well worth a listen. The solo acoustic approach to her songs is riveting, and Vega's live performances are no exception.
Vega has been testing out new songs on her current tour as well.
For a bit of 1990s nostalgia, check out Rusted Root at the 9:30 Club on March 9.
Local indie rock sensation Shark Week is slated for a March 8 performance at the Rock & Roll Hotel before a journey to the South By Southwest Music Festival.
For fans of bombastic pop, Pink is bringing her "Truth About Love" tour to the Verizon Center on Thursday, March 14.
Scheduled for March 21 at the District's Howard Theatre, is Jefferson Starship performing the 1967 Jefferson Airplane album, "Surrealistic Pillow" in its entirety.
Jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall closes out the month with a two-night performance at the Birchmere. Krall is touring in support of her latest album, "Glad Rag Doll."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I kind of wished my situation would have reflected a bracket to hold or balance the starter, but the vehicle did not come with one in place. In fact I have gone through several starters and even changed the plate as it too was chewed up. Every replacement starter I get is the small made in Mexico type that burns out fast or the bendix just don't engage properly. I wish I can find an old Delco type. My 89 Chevy pickup is a 5.7, with a 5 speed standard transmission with the starter bolting into the transmission and still does not have a bracket at the other end. I hope I don't end up with the same problem. I think my best bet is to find a delco starter at a junk yard with an offset bolt on pattern and get a bracket that will fit. If that fails I guess the SUV just got to go to the junkyard too. Thanks for all the help.
this is the starter bolt hole that usually cracks. or gets stripped.
I highly recomend you remove the engine and put it on a engine stand
so you can repair the hole and threads properly.
Inspect the boss to see if it is cracked at all.
If it is c racked It will need to be welded.
if it is not cracked it the hole can be drilled and tapped for a
heli coil insert... then installing a stud with the proper shaft shoulder
knerling ( just like a GM starter bolt) can be used. or the correct starter motor bolts. Make sure the Mid plate engine plate does not interfer with the starter motor mounting on the engine correctly.
Install the GM rear starter end brace or ( mini starter) fabricate your own as required. Failure to support the starter at 3 points will result in that hole strippin out again or worse the boss cracking off completely.
I been thru this. You cannot repair that hole while working with the car on a hoist or working under the car.
REMOVE the engine and fix it right. Do not try to heli coil it if its cracked already.
look close. If you cannot do basic fabrication to fabricate a custom made mini starter motor end support bracket similar to the factory GM bracket pay some one who can to do it. ( you risk destroying the engine block)
If you cannot proerly redrill and tap correctly for the heli coil take the block to a machine shop. It has to be drilled and tapped straight with teh right drill and tap for the heli coil Get all new starter bolts. Get a new starter motor if the nose or drive is damaged at all. Make sure the starter motor is mounted right and the drive engages the flywheel perfectly. You need a new flywheel now anyways so yank the motor out and do it right. You will only need to do it once. If you do it right.
if you have to go the old style starter mounting route
The old style SBC starter mounting style uses the old style 1956 starter motor
may or may not match up to your flywheel. May have to create your own custom plate to get teh 1956 style starter motor mounted in the rightr positon to engage your BBC flywheel. A custom made mid mount engine plate is a possibility. AGain the end of that starter must be supported by a brace jsut lie the GM starter is. Find the threaded hole in the side of the engine block where it mounts to. The OEM GM BBC starter motor brce is a starting point to fabricate your own for a mini starter end support.
2 starter bolts are not enough. Some of the BBC truck starters use 3 starter bolts ( a three bolt starter nose) and the end support bracket to keep the GM starer motor from twisting on the bolts.
That flywheel is history.. replace... Its possible the mid plate was interfeering with correct starter motor mounting
The lack of a end brace always results in what you got. Mini starter or not.,
Posting jpg pictures. I resized your pic using infranview. to "desktop size" and increased the JPG compression.
its now 1/4 the file size and loads 5 times faster and is just as clear. Big pictures are a pain for any one on dial up or who $$$$pays for data$$$$.
Please resize and re save you pics at a lower say 50% jpep compression. before posting online
Looks like those transmission lines need attention too. The rubber hose will fail. replace with hard line. Its not that hard to do.
Now that you'll be yanking the motor out now anyways......
|Thanks for the info....the vehicle is a prostreet 56 chevy with a 540 Dart block, turbo 400 and Gear Vendors Overdrive. The replacement starter is a MSD 5095 mini starter and the flexplate will be a J.W. Performance Transmissions 93005 168 Tooth Flywheel for Chevy which is what the tech at Summit Racing recommended. You mentioned that aftermarket starters won't match up with your suggested plate, correct? If so, than I'll have to look into what Firebird suggested.
Anyway, what type of vehicle is this? It look like an engine mid mount plate. It wouldn't help the starter, the brace that would help is attached to the other end by one of the through bolts that hold the starter together. The through bolt would have a stud attached to the end, as shown in the image below:
The other end of the brace bolts to a threaded hole in the block:
|I don't know if you were referring to my photos but I decreased the size. Is the plate shown here an actual support of the starter?
How much zoom you got cranked into yours, anyway?? Might be time for an eye Dr. appt. LOL
The image is 488 x 206, click on image to see source.
Below is how it appears on my Firefox browser:
Just about right IMO for enough detail to show if someone wanted to fab their own.
Re the brace: The starter brace is a given- that's why I showed a photo of it and partly why I linked to the page on starters.
Resize your pictures before posting . The file size and resolution is way too big. Takes too long to load. 640x480 is plenty.
A free download for resizing and managing pictures.
might last a long time.
They need a brace too. The twisting force is what kills them. Fab your own.
All the starters need 3 support points.
If the cracked hole has good metal, drill/tap it and use a stud, not another bolt. That will put less stress on the hole and might last a long time.
The starter brace is shown below; it bolts to the back of the starter (the end towards the front of the vehicle, in other words) and connects it to the engine block. It's made for a stock type starter. Aftermarket mini starters generally won't work w/the stock brace.
One other option for a starter is a factory permanent magnet-type starter. Smaller, but still w/good power. Being lighter, it puts less stress on the mounting area. IIRC, someone wrote that ordering a starter for a 2000 4.3L S-10 will get you one that fits a SBC w/a 153T flexplate/flywheel.
|Thank you for this valuable information F-Bird, but if you take a look at my attached photos, there is a bracket that sits tight against my starter after I removed the starter. Please view it and let me know if this brace serves its purpose. If not, than I will take your advice and go with the Eckler's starter plate.
If you choose to weld repair the cracked/broken starter motor bolt hole boss on the block there is a special alloy welding rod for this. Find a local shop that repairs and welds cast iron.
You will probabily need to remove the engine and bring it to them for repair.
Next time install the support brace.
Chevy Engine Starter Plate Kit, Small Block Engine To Turbo Hydra-Matic Transmission, 1955-1957 - Eckler's Classic Chevy Parts
This should fit an work on BBC too. Don't forget the end brace.
All GM starters came wih a factory brace bracket to support the front of the starter motor.
This bracket keeps the starter from twisting when cranking.
When you leave this required brace off, the starter motor twists on teh two starter bolts and cracks the
outer starter bolt hole boss on the block.
The fox once the outer bolt hole is cracked is to run a old style 55 chev starter motor that mounts to the trans bell housing instead of the engine block. There is a shee4t metal spacer plate that allows you to adapt this old style starter motor to a later V8. The spacer plate adapter plate goes between the engine and transmission bell housing. You still need a brace on the end of the starter motor to the block at the other end to take up the twisting force.
The small body mini starter should have this end brace too. Two bolts are not enough alone to suport the starter when its cranking/twisting on the bolts.
This adapter plate that allows using the old style starter motor can be bought over the internet.
have to search for the site.
The other alternative is to remove the engine and casti iron weld repair the cracked outer sterter bolt hole and redrill and tap. AND USE THE FRIGGIN $10 end brace on your starter motor.
Thats probily in your tool box somewhere.
If the OEM brace does not fit your mini stater fabricate as required using it as a start.
ALL trhe starters require 3 sopport points or the nose of the starter and or the starter bolt hole will be damaged.
Sorry to hear that you have a major problem but I'm afraid I can't give you any solutions. Hopefully, someone on this site can.
My situation stems from misalignment of the starter to the flexplate due to incorrect shimming or no shimming at all. I don't think it's the bolts because they seem to be tight. The gears on both starter and flexplate are damaged and one tooth on each gear (both starter and flexplate) are missing. Thanks for the info and I hope you find a less costly remedy.
|I have a similar problem. Changed the starter and still have the meshing noise. Took off the cover plate and disconeted the coil wire and used a jumper starter button to engage the starter to check on the tooth meshing of the starter onto the gear plate. I found out that the outer bolt of the offset starter bolt seemed loose and caused the starter to move when engaging. I tried to tighten but still moved while engaging. Found out that the hole has a crack to which allowed movement of the bolt a little while the starter engaged. Now, my question to the experts would be how do I fix the crack on the block? I hate to change the entire short block. Is it possible to apply a bracket at the end of the starter motor to the block like how some older model chevys use to have? Or is there some sort of epoxy that would fix the crack? Can I use a tap and try and creat a deeper thread and use a longer bolt? Appreciate any help and advice. It is a 96 GMC yukon 5.7 automatic 2 wheel type.
|Thanks for the feedback. Since the starter is old and the flywheel is damaged, I've decided to replace both parts and ensure I have the correct bolts and shimmed properly so it's engaged correctly. I ordered the MSD 5095 to replace the hitachi starter. I had a great deal on the hitachi so this is why I installed it. Thanks again.

Remember when Justin Bieber was a fresh-faced teen singer with that hit song "Baby" you couldn't quite get out of your head once you heard it? The Canadian pop star turned bad boy in 2013, seemingly making news for all the wrong reasons at nearly every turn. His year started off TMZ posting photos allegedly showing him smoking marijuana and 2013 only went down from there. The rest of his escapades included leaving a comment in the Anne Frank House guestbook suggesting Frank would have been a "Belieber" if she had lived, urinating into a mop bucket while insulting Bill Clinton, attempting to sneak his pet capuchin monkey into Germany, getting into fights with paparazzi, having his bodyguards carry him up the steps of the Great Wall of China, allegedly hitting up Brazil's legal brothels while on tour, spraying graffiti on the walls of an Australian hotel, and apparently misplacing all of his shirts. And to top it all off? He also lost his title of the celeb with the most Twitter followers to Katy Perry in early November. Ouch.
After much speculation, The Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm officially announced on Jan. 25 that J.J. Abrams would serve as director and producer of "Star Wars Episode VII," the first film in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy.
Underlining the changing ways audiences are receiving their entertainment, Netflix surged through 2013 by relying on its own original content, making entire seasons of new series available for streaming to television, computers, smartphones and tablets. That original-content strategy has included a new season of the revived comedy "Arrested Development," a U.S. remake of "House of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey, and the new series "Orange is the New Black." Netflix called the latter comedy-drama "one of the most critically well received TV shows of 2013" and said it will end the year as Netflix's most watched original series to date. The strategy worked wonders for the company, which pushed above the 40 million subscriber mark for the first time and earned a total of 14 Emmy nominations and three wins this year.
Perhaps the most talked about moment of the Grammys on Feb. 10 didn't come onstage, but rather in the audience, with Chris Brown and Rihanna spotted smiling and cuddling. The two singing stars' relationship initially broke down on the eve of the 2009 Grammys, when Brown was arrested for assaulting Rihanna. He later pleaded guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to five years probation and six months of community service. The reunion was short-lived though, with reports coming by the spring that the couple had yet again broken up.
Country music star Mindy McCready, 37, was found dead Feb. 17 on the front porch of her Heber Springs, Ark., home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. McCready also shot and killed a dog that belonged to her late boyfriend, record producer David Wilson, before shooting herself. Wilson had shot and killed himself on the same spot about a month earlier. McCready left behind two sons, 6-year-old Zander and 10-month-old Zayne.
Following years of legal problems and five stints in rehab, in March 2013 actress Lindsay Lohan plead no contest to misdemeanor charges stemming from a June 2012 car accident. She was sentenced to community service, psychotherapy and lockdown rehabilitation. In between May and July, she spent 90 days in rehab and is under orders to remain in therapy until November 2014, when her next court appearance is scheduled. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey broadcast on the Oprah Winfrey Network on Aug. 18, she told Winfrey that she was an addict and realizes she needs "to shut up and listen" because her approach to dealing with personal problems had not worked.
After effectively putting his music career on hiatus to focus on acting, Justin Timberlake returned to the music scene in 2013 with "The 20/20 Experience," his first album in nearly seven years. The album, which was released March 15, was followed in September by a sequel of sorts in "The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2," which together earned him seven Grammy nominations. The year even saw him briefly reuniting with the rest of 'N Sync at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
If you listened to the radio at all this summer, chances are you ran across Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" and Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" all over the dial. While both can lay claim to the title of unofficial song of the summer of 2013, Thicke's song, and the unrated music video that hit the Internet on March 20, especially stand out for several reasons. You can start with the fact it was his first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100, but there also was the controversies: Over its heavy use of a Marvin Gaye sample, over its lyrics and especially over its racy video featuring topless models. Thicke repeatedly found himself defending both the song and the video over claims that they are misogynist and promote date rape.
Already having conquered the rap and business world, Jay-Z turned his focus to sports management in 2013. In April, the rapper launched his own sports agency, Roc Nation Sports, teaming with Creative Artists Agency. Second baseman Robinson Cano, then of the New York Yankees, became his first client. Jay-Z who had to sell his small share in the NBA's Brooklyn Nets to make the move, would end up helping Cano to a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Seattle Mariners in early December. Jay-Z also counts Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant and New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz among his initial clients.
Movie critic Roger Ebert, the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, died April 4 at the age of 70 in Chicago after a recurrence of cancer. Ebert, who had lived with cancer of the thyroid and salivary glands since 2002, was a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death. He, along with Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel, helped popularize nationally televised film reviewing when they co-hosted the PBS show "Sneak Previews" from 1975 through 1982, followed by several variously named "At the Movies" programs.
Actress Annette Funicello, best known as one of the most popular "Mouseketeers" on "The Mickey Mouse Club" and for movies in the "Beach Party" genre in the mid-1960s, died April 8 of complications from multiple sclerosis at the age of 70 in Bakersfield, Calif. Doctors diagnosed Funicello with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative neurological disease, in 1987. She kept the illness a secret until 1992, the year she established The Annette Funicello Research Fund for Neurological Diseases. The charity, which is still active, supports research into the cause, treatment and cure of multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases.
Reese Witherspoon delighted fans of celebrities behaving badly when she got into a drunken confrontation with an Atlanta police officer after her husband, Jim Toth, was arrested for driving under the influence in the early morning hours of April 19. Police dashcam video later posted on TMZ showed the actress ignoring the officer's order to stay in her car, instead yelling at him that didn't believe he was a real police officer and asking if he knew who she was. The confrontation ended with Witherspoon in handcuffs alongside her husband and charged with disorderly conduct. She later apologized for the incident, pleaded no contest and was fined $213. Toth pleaded guilty and was ordered to complete 40 hours of community service, an alcohol-education program and one year of probation.
Famed folk singer Richie Havens, the opening act at the 1969 Woodstock music festival, died April 22 of a sudden heart attack. He was 72. After Havens gained attention at Woodstock, he recorded a soulful-voiced cover of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun," which rose on the pop charts in 1970. Havens, who retired in 2010, toured for more than 30 years and recorded 30 albums.
Country music legend George Jones, best known for hits such as "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and "White Lightning," died April 26 at the age of 81 in Nashville after being hospitalized with high fever and irregular blood pressure. Jones' career was marked by a tumultuous marriage to Tammy Wynette and bouts with alcoholism that led to occasional concert cancellations. (One of his nicknames was "No-Show Jones.") But there was no denying his talent. Waylon Jennings once wrote a song that said, "George might show up flyin' high, if George shows up at all / But he may be, unconsciously, the greatest of them all."
After Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson split up in 2012 following the revelation that she had cheated on him with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders, they eventually patched things up. But the couple broke up again, this time apparently for good, in May 2013.
After 2012 saw Amanda Bynes deal with a DUI arrest and two hit-and-run incidents, the actress received three years' probation after pleading no contest on May 9, 2013, to driving with a suspended license. But that was just the start of her problems. On May 23, she was arrested after police said she threw a bong from her Manhattan apartment. She was again detained on July 22 after allegedly starting a small fire in the driveway of a stranger's house in Thousand Oaks, Calif. The incidents led to her being put under a involuntary psychiatric hold and her parents winning a temporary conservatorship over her affairs. In the fall, she was moved from UCLA Medical Center to a private treatment facility outside Los Angeles for "specialized treatment." She was released into the custody of her parents in early December to continue her recovery at home.
Angelina Jolie revealed in a May 14 op-ed piece in the New York Times that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy after learning she carries a mutant form of a gene that predisposes her for breast and ovarian cancer.
Actress Jean Stapleton, best known for her role as Archie Bunker's wife in the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom "All in the Family," died of natural causes at age 90 on May 31. She won three Emmy awards -- in 1971, 1972 and 1978, in addition to five other nominations in which he she fell short -- for her performance as Edith Bunker.
In June, Michael Douglas kicked off an animated conversation about the cause of oral cancer when he told The Guardian that he got throat cancer after engaging in oral sex. Oral sex can expose individuals to the human papilloma virus, which can cause cancer. Later, Douglas' publicist told CNN that Douglas did not blame HPV solely for his cancer; Douglas said he was also a smoker and a drinker. In October, he admitted that he didn't have throat cancer, as he originally told the press in 2010, but rather had tongue cancer and hid the diagnosis to protect his career. The actor and his wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, also made news when they announced in August they were taking a break from their marriage of nearly 13 years. However, they were reportedly back together by November.
Kim Kardashian and boyfriend Kanye West welcomed their first child, a daughter named North West, on June 15. "Kimye," as the celebrity couple has been dubbed, became the butt of an untold number of jokes on late-night talk shows and social media when North's name was revealed about a week later. The couple capped off the year by getting engaged in October, with Kanye using AT&T Park, the home of baseball's San Francisco Giants, to make an epic proposal that included a 50-piece orchestra and fireworks.
Actor James Gandolfini, best known for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on HBO's "The Sopranos," died from a heart attack on June 19 while vacationing in Rome, Italy. Gandolfini, who was 51 years old, won three Emmys for the role of Tony Soprano and was nominated another three times. He also appeared in movies such as "True Romance," "Get Shorty" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
Celebrity chef Paula Deen's career and public reputation went into a tailspin this summer after her deposition in a lawsuit, in which she admitted using the "N-word" in the past, was released in mid-June. In the media firestorm that followed, Deen lost lucrative endorsements and her Food Network cooking show, while the publication of her eagerly anticipated cookbook was canceled. The lawsuit, which was filed by a former employee who leveled accusations of racism and sexual harassment, was eventually dismissed on Aug. 26.
Following a tough 2012 that saw him arrested for assault and public intoxication, which earned him probation, country singer Randy Travis' 2013 wasn't any better. The 54-year-old was initially hospitalized July 7 in Texas with viral cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, which led to a stroke. After surgery to relieve pressure on his brain, he remained under heavy sedation and in critical condition near death for several days. He was eventually released from the hospital on July 31 and entered a physical therapy facility.
The Syfy made-for-TV movie "Sharknado," which features Ian Ziering and Tara Reid battling flying sharks hungry for humans, premiered on July 11 and instantly captured the imagination of the Twitterverse. The so-bad-it's-good movie managed to snag 1.37 million viewers in its debut, enough to earn several repeat showings, receive an actual one-night-only theatrical release and spawn a New York City-set sequel planned for 2014. The name of the sequel? "Sharknado 2: The Second One."
"Glee" star Cory Monteith was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room at the age of 31 on July 13. Three days later the British Columbia Coroners Service announced his death was caused by "a mixed drug toxicity, involving heroin and alcohol." Monteith had a history of drug use, telling Parade magazine in 2011 that he used "anything and everything, as much as possible." He entered rehab at age 19, but it took a family ultimatum after stealing money from a relative to convince him to get clean. He entered rehab again in April 2013, about three months before his death.
With fanfare fit for a prince, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and husband Prince William welcomed their first child, George Alexander Louis, on July 22. After his grandfather and father, Prince George of Cambridge is third in line to succeed his great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Celebrity chef Nigella Lawson and her multimillionaire art collector husband Charles Saatchi began divorce proceedings on July 31, weeks after images of him grabbing her by the throat at a London restaurant made headlines. Lawson again made headlines in December when she took the stand as a witness in the fraud trial of two former personal assistants and admitted to using cocaine in two periods of her life and spoke of her troubled relationship with ex-husband. In light of her tribulations, she described 2013 as "the longest year of my life."
Ben Affleck started off the year with a bang, with "Argo," his third directorial effort, taking home Best Picture at the 85th Academy Awards. Affleck, who also earned the Golden Globe and the Directors Guild of America awards for best directing for the movie, made news again when it was announced on Aug. 22 that he would play Batman in the "Man of Steel" sequel set for release in 2015. The news of his casting in the superhero flick nearly broke the Internet with a backlash that spread like wildfire across social media.
Whether it was her provocative music videos or twerking at the MTV Video Music Awards, Miley Cyrus couldn't seem to stay out of the limelight for long in 2013. But while some shook their heads at her new sexed-up public image, it seems to have worked for the singer formerly known as Hannah Montana. The music videos for "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball," the first two singles off her fourth studio album, "Bangerz," attracted record viewers online and the latter became her first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. It wasn't all good news for Cyrus though, as she and actor Liam Hemsworth called off their engagement in September, ending a four-year relationship.
A tumultuous few weeks for former reality TV star and NBA player Lamar Odom came to a head when he was arrested Aug. 30 by a California Highway Patrol officer on a driving under the influence charge. Odom, who is married to Khloe Kardashian and has starred with her in the reality TV show "Khloe and Lamar," pleaded no contest on Dec. 9 and was sentenced to three years of probation and three months of alcohol counseling. The arrest came after rumors surfaced that he was addicted to painkillers and had disappeared for a few days after a fight with his wife, both denied by Kardashian herself on Twitter and Odom's agent. His bad year came to a fitting conclusion with Kardashian filing for divorce on Friday, Dec. 13.
While fans of the steamy "Fifty Shades of Grey" eagerly awaited casting news for the movie adaptation of the erotic romance novel, there was mixed reaction when the casting was actually announced on Sept. 2. "Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam was cast in the role of Christian Grey alongside Dakota Johnson in the role of Anastasia Steele. However, Hunnam gave up the part in mid-October, with Jamie Dornan, best known for the movie "Marie Antoinette" and the TV series "Once Upon a Time," announced as his replacement on Oct. 23. The movie also was pushed back, going from an original release date of Aug. 1, 2014, to Feb. 13, 2015.
More than 10 million people tuned in to the series finale of "Breaking Bad" on Sept. 29 to see what ultimately would happen to high school chemistry teacher turned drug lord Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and his former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). One of the most critically acclaimed TV dramas in recent memory, the AMC show went out with a bang after five seasons.
A Los Angeles jury decided Oct. 2 that although AEG Live hired Dr. Conrad Murray the concert promoter was not liable for Michael Jackson's fatal drug overdose. The jury found that Murray was competent, so even though AEG Live hired him, it was not liable for Jackson's death and didn't owe the Jackson family millions of dollars in compensation. The verdict brought the five-month-long trial to a close. Jackson's mother and the singer's three children sued AEG Live in 2010, arguing that the company's negligence in hiring, retaining or supervising Murray was a factor in the singer's June 25, 2009, death. Jackson died of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol, which Murray told investigators he was using to treat the singer's insomnia so he could rest for rehearsals. Murray served two years for involuntary manslaughter. Jackson died just days before his comeback tour -- promoted and produced by AEG Live -- was set to debut in London in the summer of 2009.
Lou Reed, who took rock 'n' roll into dark corners as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for the Velvet Underground and as a solo artist, died from liver disease at the age of 71 on Oct. 27. He had undergone a liver transplant in May. In 1970, Reed left the Velvets for a long solo career turning out classics like "Walk on the Wild Side" and "Sweet Jane."
If you're in the market for a new video game console, both Sony and Microsoft are eager for your business. The rivals both introduced the next generation of their video game systems within one week of each other, with Sony's PlayStation 4 going on sale Nov. 15 and Microsoft's Xbox One hitting stores on Nov. 22. Worldwide sales of the PlayStation 4 had topped 2.1 million as of Dec. 1 while Microsoft announced on Dec. 11 that the Xbox One, which costs $499 compared to the PS4's $399 price tag, had also reached 2 million sold.
The year 2013 was a banner year for the BBC sci-fi series "Doctor Who." The show marked its 50th anniversary with a special broadcast worldwide on Nov. 23 that united Matt Smith, the 11th actor to inhabit the role of the time-traveling alien known as "The Doctor," with his predecessor, David Tennant, and John Hurt as another incarnation of the character. It achieved the Guinness World Record for the largest ever simulcast of a TV drama. The show came nearly four months after the announcement that Peter Capaldi would be replacing Smith in the role starting with this year's Christmas special.
Actor Paul Walker, who shot to fame as star of the high-octane street racing franchise "Fast & Furious," died in a fiery car crash in Southern California on Nov. 30. Walker, 40, was in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, driven by racing team partner Roger Rodas, that slammed into a light pole and burst into flames in an office park in the community of Valencia in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood. Rodas was also killed in the crash. The one-page preliminary report released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office on Dec. 4 listed Walker's cause of death as the "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries."
Irish actor Peter O'Toole, perhaps best known for playing T. E. Lawrence in "Lawrence of Arabia," died in his sleep at age 81 on Dec. 14. O'Toole holds the record for most Academy Award nominations without a win, earning nods for "Lawrence of Arabia," "Becket," "The Lion in Winter," "Goodbye, Mr. Chips," "The Ruling Class," "The Stunt Man," "My Favorite Year" and "Venus." He acknowledged in 2012 that his acting career had ended, bidding a "profoundly grateful farewell" to the industry.

Ummm. Moose

Grand Slam #1005 + 2: Dall (1986 Yukon), Fannin/Stone (1987 Yukon), Bighorn (1988 Colorado Unit S-26), Stone (1995 British Columbia), Desert (2001 Nevada Unit 161), Bighorn (2009 Wyoming Unit 5)
Were these found in an area that there is no possibility of moose whatsoever?
Cool to find the matched pair.
No known moose where they were found, however one came by the house on Bear Creek. I am going to do more research, like game and fish. Going to get more Google help too. I would never expect to find moose where these were found. T thought it was deer so I had given him the name,"Waterfall Buck".
I'm going with moose, too. Where I grew up there wasn't supposed to be a moose for 150 miles, but every other year or so a young bull would get spotted.
Moose have been extending their range here in Colorado for quite awhile now...especially in the SW part of the state. I've seen them here in our area (Between Cortez & Durango) several times. No established population yet, just seem to be "cruisin around". Wouldn't surprise me to see some for good here in the future.
Those sheds sure look like moose to me, but I'm no expert. I've shot a couple in Canada, a cow and a bull. Hard to tell from pictures.

Those are moose sheds, no doubt. I've found moose sheds in areas where they aren't typically found. For instance, I found a paddle in NW Colorado and the next year I found a paddle from the same bull 50 miles north in Wyoming.
take a look at the bull on this page, you may have found his sheds

There is no treatment that will cure gout, but there are steps to control symptoms and prevent complications.
- Avoid certain foods and beverages.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- Lose weight (if necessary) and maintain an appropriate weight.
Gout pain is caused by glass-like crystals of uric acid that build up in your joints. Uric acid is a by-product of the breakdown of waste products called purines. Therefore, one of the main treatments for gout is to avoid foods and beverages that are high in purines. These include:
- Organ meats, such as liver, kidney, and sweetbreads
- Seafood and shellfish, such as lobster, crab, or sardines
- Red meat, such as beef or lamb
- Some vegetables, such as asparagus, cauliflower, and mushrooms
- Gravies
In addition to avoiding foods high in purines, you should reduce your intake of high-fructose drinks. Examples include sugar-sweetened sodas and sweetened juice.
Avoid alcoholic beverages, especially beer. Be sure to avoid binge drinking of any type of alcohol.
The severity of gout varies from person to person. Talk with your doctor about how strict your diet should be for your individual situation.
Fluids help flush uric acid from the body, so drinking lots of fluids can help control and prevent the recurrence of gout attacks.
Losing weight can help lower uric acid levels. If you are overweight, losing weight should help reduce your symptoms and prevent future gout attacks. However, do not go on a crash diet because this can make your gout worse. Consult your doctor for help designing a safe and effective weight loss program that includes:
- Setting a proper weight loss goal.
- An appropriate diet to both lose weight and maintain a proper weight.
- A regular exercise program .
You should contact your doctor if:
- Your symptoms worsen or do not improve
- You feel weak or ill or develop other problems after starting a weight loss and/or exercise program

Very nice. I shot B-2726 on 11/22. So I'm curious if we've met up on the observation deck of the Future of Flight Center. My last photos were on 11/22 of 777 Air Canada delivery. Were you there? I've been toting a Canon 7D with a 70-200.

I attented a Maze Concert in Las Vegas with a group called Frankie's Angels. It was absolutely the best. I can not describe the feeling. You have to be in the audience to experience it...They give you a show that will have you leaving feeling happier than ever. I have attended so many Maze concerts, I wouldn't dare try to start counting. Each one leaves me feeling better than the other. No old school group can touch, Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Frankie Beverly displays so much humbleness and gratitude as he wept while singing "Happy Feelings" and "Thank You". He brought the house down! Chicago gave him a super hardy standing ovation during his entire performance! He is some kind of wonderful. I would follow his show anywhere! God bless you Frankie and Maze!!!!

OMG this was my first time seeing him. People if you get the chance please go see him. Frankie told us he was 61 yrs old but was up on that stage jumping up and down like he was still in his 20's. I was touched to see him get a bit overcome when he sang I want to thank you. He gave thanks to God and Jesus. What a touching moment.

The greatest thing about MAZE is their 30 years of steadfast committment to creating and recording legendary music that touches all walks of life. I truly admire their humbleness and gratefulness to God for keeping them over the years and for rewarding their gifts.
