We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASUS, MSI, Western Digital and Corsair.
As usual, we won't go into too much detail on the testbed as everything is fairly well covered in the above image. What's not present there will be shown in the graphs when we start testing. So with that said, let's just get stuck straight into the overclocking side of things to see just how the X79 Extreme4 handled our Intel i7 3960X.
In typical fashion we'll head straight to the BCLK and bump that up to 125 after we've adjusted our voltages and hopefully get into Windows with no problem. Getting into Windows with no problems at all, we head back into the BIOS and start to mess around with our Multiplier.
We ended up getting around the 4.8GHz mark, but we'd see the system shut down while we did an encode under MediaEspresso. We worked our way back and at around 4.6GHz we continued to have a similar problem.
What we did was go back into the BIOS and change the focus from a higher BCLK and lower multiplier to a lower BCLK and higher multiplier. In the end you can see we finished up with our BCLK at 105 and our multiplier came in at 45x.
As you can see above, this brings are CPU speed in at 4.72GHz which is higher than it was doing when we opted for the lower BCLK but higher multiplier. Considering the price point, this is a pretty impressive overclock and it should bring with it a decent performance increase.
Let's get started!

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Emily!
Facts about Emily
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Emily's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Emily – This sweet little girl showed up at Barrio Dogs' FixIt Community Education Day at Hidalgo Park in October 2012. She appeared to have been recently dumped; local residents at the park said they had not seen her before. She got adopted soon thereafter but due to no fault on her part, the adoption did work out. She just wasn't a good mix with the home's other dogs.
Emily is a Chihuahua mix, about a year old, ten pounds and heart and intestinal worm negative. She has been spayed and completely vetted. She is a very sweet, charming dog and is kennel-trained. She likes to be around people and but is a little afraid of larger dogs.
For more information, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other Pets at Barrio Dogs, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Emily, a Houston Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Houston, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Houston.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Houston already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Houston breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Houston paves the way for another one to be saved.

My husband bought me an old troy-bilt tiller (we think its a Horse but it has been sand blasted and painted so the stickers are gone) The motor starts right up, the tillers move, the pulley (missing one belt) turns fine. Our problem is the transmission. It doesn't go... We've taken the lid off the gear box, all the gears look great, the pulley moves each gear as I would assume it should, the gear grease looks almost new -nice and clean. Does anyone know why the wheels aren't moving on the thing? or know anything about where I can get my hands on an exploded diagram so we can attempt to fix it? The lever that I'm assuming changes gears from forward/backward and neutral only moves a tiny bit - we can see it moving inside but we can't see the axel or how it engages the wheels. Any help you can offer me on how to get started so I can play with my new toy? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
sounds like the shifter is stuck in neutral. My old Horse shifts hard but it shifts. May be the shift linkage is bound up. try a google search for troybuilt manuals. I'm pretty sure you can still get some parts from MTD for the old ones. My father bought a few shafts and new tines for his just recently. |
If yours has the 2 speed transmission, it sometimes is hard to get the high/ low lever to move. You have to have the engine running most times to do that. Also, make sure the drive belts are tightening up when you move the big handle down. This handle puts it into drive gear. It has the block, and a cam that has to move too. Also, try pushing up hard on the big handle, to make it go backward! The engine must move up and down on the two thick vertical rods where the engine is mounted, when you move the forward/ reverse handle up or down!When the engine moves upwards,and the handle moves down, that tightens the drive belts, and the machine goes forwards! The opposite occurs when you move the big handle up, the belts loosen, and either a fiber wheel or a rubber wheel contacts the pulleys on the engine and makes the machine go backwards! It takes a firm push on the main drive handle, the curved one, with the cam and block, to make it work. I will look up my sheets on the horse i had. Maybe i can tell you what is inside that might keep it from moving! but, try my suggestions first! by: Rustyj P.S. The machine must have both belts on it to perform correctly! |

At the rear of the tiller; are 2 levers. The one on the left is the for forward and reverse with a detent for neutral in between. The one on the right is for low and hi speed. The thing is that neutral; is a wide area. when you push down to low; you must push the tiller forward just a little bit manually for the gears to mesh. The same is true with hi speed (In other words, rock the tiller to and fro as you put pressure on the handle). If the tiller is in neutral; then with the motor off; the tiller can be rocked forward or back. Test this with the tiller not running for safety. By the way its probably not missing a belt. Some models use one belt as an additional speed adjustment. |
I usually have to rock mine to go from high to low speed, but the lever should move fully upward or downward. |

Hi, I am looking for a cast iron hub that the rim of the tire is bolted on to, and it also slides on to the wheel axel, for an older (than 1980) 6hp troy bilt tiller Does any one have one sitting around ,or know where I can find one? They don't make alot of these parts any more. Thanks-Canaryvine |

Don't Troy Bilts still have a lifetime warranty on everything except the engine? The shroud and shift lever broke on my Horse rototiller several years ago (might have been ten years ago) and they sent me new parts free of charge. I believe they also had a rebuilding program where you sent them your rototiller with the engine removed and they rebuilt it or replaced it for a fixed fee, but I don't remember how much. |
Lifetime is only lifetime if the company stays in business. I believe it is now owned by MTD. |
I know a fellow that has a dead one in his back yard.....email me to remind me to look if you don't find one on the web,and I'll drive over and take a pic... Jim |
It probably has a bullet in it. |

I recently obtained an old 2 speed Horse and water has found it's way into the gearbox. My problem is disassembling the transmission, I can't seem to get the wheel axle out although it will slide side to side after I removed the cir-clips. Can anyone share with me the secret/trick to totally disassembling the gearbox and or where I can find a repair manual. I have alot information (the bible on troy-bilt) but it stops short of maintenance on the transmission itself. Thanks |
Can someone give me a web site for parts? My troy bilt is leaking at I guess it would be called the pumpkin were the drive go to the tines is it just an o-ring in there or what? |

For the manuals for your tiller, follow the link below. In the model number spot, type 21A682J063 for the 8hp horse, or 21AE682L063 for the 10 hp horse. In serial number, you can enter yours if you want, or just type in 1. To see a list of all tiller manuals, just type 21 into model number--all tillers begin with 21. All of the manuals are available there. |

to:rpmarriott, your june 11, 05 transmission question. Did you ever determine how to remove the axel shaft?. Does anyone know how to shim the transmission pinion shaft and axel shaft. My service manual gives specifics on how to shim the drive shaft, but stops there. I assume Troy-Bilt did not intend for owners to get too deep into the tranny.economics sometime dictate. Fish did you in your trouy-built past ever have the pleasure of rebuilding a transmission. thanks Doolittle |

Yes. Fish |
On the subject of transmissions: I have stripped down a Troy-bilt hourse trans and share my wisdom with anyone who wants to notice and learn. I posted 'Troy-bilt bronze gear failure'. This is kind of a post-mortem of the machine; I just can't justify rebuilding a 32 year old machine with all the wear I have found. How to remove AXLE SHAFT: I would not try to do any of this until you have removed the belts, engine, cast engine mount from the front end of the machine and the handle bars, shift lever and hood removed and set aside and drained the trans oil. You want to have the wheels and tines off (the tines have nuts right at the center of their hub. Think of taking the lug nuts off your car rim, but there is only one nut. Give the wrench a swift tap with a hammer after loosening with some penetrating oil and the whole tine assembly comes off easily, one side at a time.) You want the "trans" sitting up on a table you could rig up with a couple saw horses. They tell ya in the owner's manual to just give up trying to save the oil seals; you'll destroy them getting them out. They suggest digging into the thin metal of the seal and kind of "dig" them out of the counterbore that they were seated into. If you have gone this far, you might as well invest in one of those snap ring pliers that open when you close the handle (opposite of what plier teeth do). Hardware stores or even Sears carry them. Use this versatile tool to open up the snap rings that had been hidden by the seals. There are two rings, one on either side of the trans. There should be a couple of loose shims on either end of the shaft after the snap rings are off, but don't worry about trying to extract them, they will fall out when the axle is extracted. To get the axle off, an expert will tell you that on one of the gears there is a dot or punch mark on the right-hand gear (right standing behind the unit). You can turn the main drive pully by hand (you may have to shift the unit to get things to turn). I tried to tap the shaft out with a hammer (very light, coaxing taps) once this dot aligned with a line on the inside of the casing but it would not go until I tapped lightly WHILE turning the main drive pulley by hand until the woodruf notch in all gears lined up. I noticed that one gear advanced farther than another due to the 2 speed trans so you should get the idea; at some point the slot that the woodruf key occupies is going to line up so that you can drive the axle out, I think toward the right side of the trans. Another explaination is that you want to shift the machine so that the shifting fork slides to the left, driving the larger, left-hand gear. This turns the clutch (the object sandwiched between the two biggest gears in the trans) independent of the smaller gear, allowing the woodruf notch in the clutch and smaller gear to align and the shaft can now be driven out the right of the trans. But you will be able to detect the "sweet" point of alignment by lightly tapping the left hand end of the axle shaft while the clutch advances. I answered my own question that I asked on the above ref. post as to why my seals were leaking so much oil. Combination of severe wear and corrosion on the main wheel axle and severe wear on the brass bushings were the culprit. The bushings had worn on their inside, top surface where the weight of the axle bears about 1/32 inch of eccentricity. This allowed the axle to wobble and the outside end of the bushings dug mercilessly into the shaft and all of this compromised the effectiveness of the SECOND set of seals that I had put on the machine in the last ten years. Wow! maybe I should retire, get myself a vending license and source for Troy-bilt parts and repair them for a living! How to remove GEAR SPUR and SPLINE assembly: This assembly and the previous discussion I could not find in my old Garden Way/Troy-bilt owner's manual, except for the oil seal removal and re-installation. There are two main hints that I will share if you have had the interest to stay with me this far: First, you will want to drive the spiral pins out of the plug pinion bearings. (The pinions are ear-like plugs protruding from the trans near the top and front of the trans case. You might recall having removed some linkages that are bolted into the threaded hole in their center.) If your trans case is like mine, the spiral pins may be masked by dirt and oil. They are driven into about 3/16" dia holes appearing top dead center of bosses protruding from the trans housing on either side. Now the pinion bearings can be coaxed out with perhaps turns from a vise grip. Start with the right hand pinion. Secondly, once the right-hand pinion is removed, you may be able to coax the left pinion out by carefully driving the gear spline towards the left with a flat-ended rod and hammer. Drive right in the center, avoid hitting the bearing race. The gear spline shaft exits I think only out the left side of the trans case. This frees up the brass worm gear/gear spur assembly. They have a very heavy snap ring keeping them as one unit. That's it, "Troy-bilt trans 101 class" all for free, folks, use my advice at your own risk, but I think it has merit. |
Hi "old dufus" You are the firstperson I have followed that knew where the bath room was, I want to thank you for your detailed report on how to rebuild a Troy Bilt transmission, Posted Aug.18th.2006. I am right in the middle of rebuilding a Troy Horse and you have hit the nail right on the head.I would enjoy talking to you if you have the time, I'm an old man (81) but still going strong. Thank you Houston |
Thanks, Houston! I figure the time I spend with these things might as well benefit someone else, I have a hidden gift to teach and there is no class or pupils to share my wisdom with. I made up "olddufus" for the sake of this site, I thought it was kind of cute, considering the wild ride my Troy-bilt horse made down the storm cellar steps that I described in my post about the bronze gear failure. I'm actually 54, but to many of the "kids" out there, I'm already "old", so it's all relative. I laugh at those comments that news media people make about a ball player being all washed up at the age of 30, but they are really serious about it, can you imagine? Yes, I'd be glad to talk. I've sent you an E-mail, looking forward to hearing from you. |
Oh, I almost forgot to add on the subject of axle removal: Only remove the brass bushings if you suspect they have worn excessively. If your horse doesn't leak trans fluid at the axle, you are fortunate to have a "younger" model. I am convinced that leakage around the axle shaft is almost assuredly a sign of brass bearing wear or abrasions, cuts, dents or just plain wear on the shaft itself. If you are planning on salvaging your machine, you might want to have a replacement pair handy as the methods below might mess up the ends of the soft brass bushings. I noticed they have a couple "half holes" notched into their inside face and I don't know their function... Those brass bushings I was able to drive out from the inside of the trans case using the following unorthodox method. I suspended a hammer down into the trans case with the hammer head resting on the inside end of one of the brass bushings. Then proceeded to hammer and tap on the claws of the hammer with another hammer. Its something I've seen fellas do in a pinch and it goes against all the manuals on tool useage because of the danger of flying pieces of hardened steel from the hammer claws, but use goggles or your own discretion. A safer, conventional way might be to saw a short cylinder from a galvanized pipe. I'm not sure, but you may find that 3/4" ID (it probably approaches 1 inch OD) galvanized pipe will do. Cut perhaps a 1 inch length and file the end smooth to a nice flat surface. Use this to drive the bearings out (that's assuming the pipe OD matches the bearing OD), but you will have very little room to get a hammer or mallet on the end. Someone out there may suggest that the bearings can be driven INTO the casing from the outside, and that would be immensly easier, I just don't have any manuals detailed enough to inform me if that's an option. It does seem the more proper method...there does not appear to be any "seat" that the bearings land on, they appear to be press fit until they are roughly flush with the casing outer walls such that the shims and retaining snap rings can be attached when the axle is reassembled... And, using galvanized pipe is my "poor man's" option. Mechanics probably have special hardened steel pins to do this work. |
If anyone needs help with the shift lever and shaft with O-rings and/or the eccentric fork and its shaft, see the following link and tillerjohn's question: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/tools/msg0821561829754.html?30856 I had quite a time getting the lever off of the shaft with O-rings. The ideal would have been a wheel puller, but the "hands" would not fit in the tight clearance between the lever and the casing. So I found that a tapered chisel with about 20 degree included angle worked by forming a wedge between the lever boss and the casing, applied as near the shaft as possible. |
All manuals and trans repair manuals can be found thru www.mtdproducts.com As for the Lifetime warranties.MTD will honor going back 10 years with a receipt defective parts.The government states that no company can garauntee a product for Life.Most states recognize 10 years as the max.Yes, Troybilt may have stretched that past 10 years,but that and others reasons where contributors to its bankrupcy. |
I have an econo horse, and the pulley coming out of the front of the gearbox slides in and out. If it needs a shim, it sounds like a cheap repair, but MTD is no help with manual pdfs or advice. Is there someone out there who can help me? |

I have read oldduff suggestion about removing the troy axle I have found the mark on the inside of the trans case but cant find the mark on the gear. Is it on the gear itself or on the hub? |
- Posted by billk_2008 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 11, 08 at 15:25
Please ignore my previous posting. I was able to get the axle out this afternoon. My puzzlement was how was the woodruff key going to get out and it turns out that once you get the key lined up with the slot in the gear that driving the axle out takes the bushing with it. I don't know how I expected the key to get out of there. Anyway all is well now. Thanks for listening to my problem Billk |
I have an 8 hp Horse model, about 1983, that is stuck in low gear and will not come out of low. It used to shift speeds quite easily, but starting sometime last year, it just won't come out of low. Doesn't seem to be the linkage as it moves quite easily. Any opinions at to the LIKELY cause of this?? Or will I just have to take the transmission apart to find the cause? |

I just got an early horse to bring back to life. the engine pulley was off because it needed a reverse disc(fiber). It has the original tecunseh 6hp withn 3/4 inch shaft, but pulley that came with it is 1 inch. Is this correct pulley? Does it require a spacer. Can it be updated to rubber reverse disc? |
- Posted by gator_rider2 z8 texas (My Page) on Sat, Feb 28, 09 at 6:02
Its 3/4 inch pulley there no spacer and yes you can change to rubber disc this take different pulley there are update kit to do this. 10 normal start with 1 inch shaft you can find kit at this link |

i bought a used troybuilt horse PTO with an 8hp kohler engine. I want to drain the gearoil and refill. I found 2 fill plugs. One is near the handle mounts and the other is inside the left wheel. cant someone tell me what gearoil I should use and how do I drain the gearoil? I cant seem to find any drain plugs. Thanks in advance |
The manual on my old horse calls for either 90wt. or 140wt. gear oil. As far as i know there is no drain hole, at least on mine i could never find one. I've never found any place in the manual about draining the transmission oil, but it would seem there should be a way to do it. |
- Posted by gator_rider2 z8 texas (My Page) on Mon, Mar 2, 09 at 10:59
you take off pto attacment to drain take out fill plug standup until drains. with pto off transmission drain by lowering handles the oil level plugs removed to let air in so drain faster fill hole take bolt out that swivel handle bars turn handle bars may help drain transmission. I sujest doing this with low gas in tank and at or between oil change so all fluid be out. In my zone 85-140 is best stright 140 to thick and will stall engine if try move tiller and loads belt to hard I put 140 in one mind had take out to thick 140 take up a lot space in these small bearing act like brake on engine. |

HELP! Working with tiller today and rear tines just quit. Front wheel pulling great. But rear tines just rolling along. Has always seeped oil a bit next to gearbox? on rear betwen tines. Need help diagnosing and fixing. Is this a fairly easy fix? Oil level was fine last week? Box between tines hot and was smoking a bit which means oil low? Can this be low with transmission with OK oil? I am confused and would appreciate help on getting started fixing it. I am fair with tools, but not an expert on diagnosing. Usually if I can tear it down I can put it back. |
- Posted by cottonwood_chips (My Page) on Wed, Apr 8, 09 at 7:39
For bigalcarman, beside the transmission fill hole cleared by removing the bolt holding the handle assembly, there is a transmission oil level check plug which you found inside the wheel, below that plug and below the wheel axel is the transmission oil drain plug; there is an additional clutch fork shaft plug which should drain most of the transmission oil but there would be no reason to use it. I would also like to change gear oil in our Troy-Bilt Horse (Serial # 378818), but have been unable to find a SAE 140 gear oil which we were confident would not attack the brass bearings. The following is from a previous forum: "According to the manual, the tillers are shipped with 6 1/2 pints of SAE140 gear oil. As for the GL4 vs GL5 debate, GL4 is recommended in the newer manuals for the transmissions. GL5 is specifically NOT recommended. AFAIK, GL4 does NOT have the sulfur additives alluded to by others (I worked in a transmission shop 20 years ago, and we used GL4 (recommended by the manufacturer) in manual transmissions that had brass synchros." |
the brass gear (called a worm gear, I think) that turns the tines is gone. any ideas where and how I can get a replacement? the serial # of my old horse is 547276. thanks |

My tines also just froze while tilling Wheel moved in free wheel. Read posts and that has helped. Now I am up to removing Cast Iron hub removed bolt but Cast must be frozen on soaked it in PO and have it hanging to free it up.Am I correct that shaft and gears are one piece?

I just bought an old troy tiller and have a few questions. All of the stickers are gone and I would like to know what year it is. I have the serial number. My problem is that when I am tilling with it, it keeps wanting to kick out of low gear and into high gear.Does anyone have any suggestions? |
We inherited a Troy-Bilt tiller with Gardenway TH 1018 on the tiller and a B&S engine # 171437, prob 1992 built. Engine runs great, tines move forward & back, but not fast enough to do more than make a scratch on the ground. Looks like a place for 2 belts, but only one there. Need 2nd belt? Also, don't see any levers for the tine and wheel speeds to be run separately. Only tillers I'm familiar with are the front tine models where you have to pull back really hard to make it dig in. Shouldn't the tires and weight of the machine do that work for me? Any help would be appreciated. Have a friend that "dabbles" in mechanics, but we need a manual or something. -- THANKS! |

As a homosexual, I was born gay. As people of religion, you chose your prejudice. I would have thought that the followers of an ever present God would agree that what has always been trumps that which has been acquired. In any sound moral system (Note: I say moral, not religious, for religion is inherently separate from morality), the right to be is greater than the right to choose, for to choose, one must first be.
+ if i cant be a good example ill just have to be a horrible warning +
**you must be the change you wish to see in the world**
However, morality historically develops most often from some sort of religious thought. There are philosophical speculations and ideas about morality, but for the most part, morality has been a product of religious belief. The funny thing is, morals differ widely between people of the same religious beliefs. Look at your average Muslim vs. someone in al Qaeda, or your average Christian vs. Pat Robertson. Completely different.
The way I see it, religious people probably don't want to believe people are born gay because that would mean their wonderful god MADE people gay. That, to them, is unacceptable because they are so completely blinded by the homophobic teachings of the church.

BOZEMAN — A city park in Bozeman has an area set aside for people who play in the backcountry to practice using avalanche transceivers.
Gallatin National Forest Avalanche Center Director Doug Chabot encourages people to bring their friends with them for practice, because "they're the ones who will dig you out."
Avalanche transceivers send out a signal so winter recreationalists who get buried in an avalanche can be found more easily by their traveling partners.
The Daily Chronicle reports the park's designers buried four transmitters in the snow at the northwest corner of Beall Park. They can be switched from a box at the edge of the park.
Organizers ask that people don't dig up the transceivers, but locate them with avalanche probes.
Anyone who comes to the park will have to bring their own transceiver and probes.

Why does Scout fight her cousin Francis after the Christmas dinner at Finch's Landing in To Kill a Mockingbird?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Scout's antagonistic cousin, Francis Hancock, "the most boring child I ever met," made the mistake of repeatedly taunting her with the epithet "nigger-lover"--referring to Atticus. Scout wasn't quite sure what it meant, but she could tell from Francis' tone that it wasn't good. But Francis kept it up, running into the kitchen each time, where he was protected by Aunt Alexandra. So Scout waited patiently, pretending to take a passive stance, until Francis made the mistake of going out into the yard, beyond the scope of Alexandra's protection. When he thought Scout "sufficiently subdued," he once again
...crooned softly, "Nigger-lover..."
This time I split my knuckle to the bone on his front teeth.
Scout received a spanking from her Uncle Jack for her pugilistic display, but after Scout explained her reasons to him, Uncle Jack was ready to deal out some punishment to Francis himself.

She just came back from her dance practice and while she changes she checks out this dance routine on her tablet and it gets her body moving and grooving to the beat.

She's swaying her hips, shaking that ass, working it, twerking it, you name it! She's totally naked except for her sneakers, but she takes those off too and changes into a pair of sexy pink cotton knee high socks. Naked girl lies over the rug and keeps moving and contorting her body, her dancing is getting more sensual, provocative and erotic as she feels all that arousal building up inside her. She gets on her hands and knees and arches her back downwards, jutting out her delicious bubble shaped butt in mid-air, teasing us with her body, her eyes, her staggering looks. She passes her hands all over her body, over her long legs, across her tight firm butt cheeks and through her dripping wet young pussy. Everything about her teen pussy and ass looks absolutely gorgeous. Her fingers glide from the tip of her toes all the way to her lips as the music subdues in the background and she gets ready to play with herself, pleasure herself and explore her naked body in an intimate masturbation session that will most definitely leave her drained, exhausted and exhilarated!

It is a great idea to make him some naughty nude selfies! She's getting naked and fondling her ass and tits, getting closer to the mirror as she massages her breasts and makes her nipples get hard and puffy with her fingertips. Her clothes and lingerie are scattered all over the room, since she has been trying on different outfits for her boyfriend to see her in, but she knows well he likes her best when she's wearing nothing at all. Naked girl lets her blonde hair down and shows off her long legs in pink cowboy boots and socks, I can almost swear her camera is getting a hard-on too!

I set up my video camera in the bedroom as she teased me with her slender long legs, green thong and matching long sleeved top. I could see that G-string digging deep into the crack of her tight bubble shaped ass and it made my mouth water and my dick harden up! She played with herself, touching her boobs and pussy over her clothes and stripping down to her thong. She got rid of that too and let her fingers wander deep inside her wet gash, masturbating in front of the camera with total abandon. I could already picture her videos uploaded on the web and all those horny guys jerking off to her hot body!

People in San Luis Obispo are a little more prepared for a natural disaster after this morning's Preparedness Expo.
Hundreds of people came to the San Luis Obispo Veteran's Hall for the third annual event.
The goal is to better prepare the community for an emergency.
People could learn from vendors selling emergency products, volunteer organizations and presentations at the expo.
"The more people that are prepared for a disaster, the less people we have to help and the more people that can help others," Red Cross Disaster Volunteer Paul Deis said. "If something happens tomorrow, there will be a whole lot more people prepared than there were this morning."
The first 200 people through the doors received a gift bag with disaster materials.

OLYMPIA -- The state Democratic Central Committee was assessed a $250,000 civil penalty and will be required to provide yearly audits to the state Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) under an agreement filed today in Thurston County Superior Court that settles allegations of financial-reporting violations against the central committee.
Under the agreement, the central committee will pay $100,000 of the penalty by December, and additional amounts of $10,000 in each succeeding year through 2008. The remaining $100,000 will be suspended, but the PDC will have authority to reimpose the suspended amount if new campaign-law violations are reported that result in a PDC referral to the Attorney General's Office.
Filed simultaneously with the agreement was a complaint alleging that the Democratic Central Committee violated the state Public Disclosure Act by failing to timely file $5,956,418 in contributions between July 1 and Dec. 31, 2000. An investigation by the PDC revealed that the central committee also failed to report $1 million in expenditures during that time.
Last August, the PDC found apparent violations of the disclosure law and referred the case to the Attorney General's Office for further action. The case was referred because the commission concluded that the maximum $2,500 penalty it could levy was not sufficient to address the seriousness of the violations.
The Attorney General's Office established a special negotiating process that involved the office of King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng and PDC staff.
One PDC commissioner did not participate because of a personal involvement with the Democratic Central Committee during the time that the disclosure-law violations occurred, but Maleng and the remaining four PDC commissioners support today's agreement.
An earlier investigation by commission staff showed that the reporting problems began when a staff member who lacked formal accounting training or knowledge of PDC rules was given the position of comptroller. Under today's agreement, the central committee will also be required to provide PDC-approved training to all state, county and local party officials or others responsible for preparing state campaign-finance reports. Also, two party officials, one of whom must be the party chair or vice chair, will be required to approve all reports to the PDC prior to submission.

They said it couldn't be done. They said it didn't matter if it was $4.5 million or $2.5 million or if they were giving it away. They said potentials buyers wouldn't be swayed by the pitch to "sleep where Angelo Mozilo hath slept, after a few too many troughs of Boone's farm" (AKA "The Mozilo Bedroom"), or to impress guests with the cocktail party fodder that "that chair you're sitting in right now the very one Ken Lewis was sitting in when he decided to buy Merrill Lynch, can't get better investing karma than that." They said the vomit stains on the rug would not be a selling point. They were wrong.
Lewis, the retired CEO of Charlotte-based Bank of America, and his wife, Donna, sold his home in January to Jarrod and Frederique Daniel of Atlanta for $3.15 million, according to property records. Jarrod Daniel has worked as a plastic surgeon in Atlanta and at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., according to an Internet search. The Lewis home originally listed for sale at $4.5 million in January 2010, just days after Lewis handed the reins of the company to now-CEO Brian Moynihan. Lewis remained a Charlotte resident, purchasing a luxury townhouse in Myers Park. The Morrocroft home (see photos here) is described in a real estate listing as an "exquisite custom home on a very private lot" with his and her's dressing rooms, luxurious bathrooms, chef's kitchen with paneled walls, a three-car garage and formal gardens. The home was designed by architects Ken Pursley and Ruard Veltman and custom-built for the Lewises by Whitlock Builders in 2003.
Lewis reduced the price four times. He took it off the market last summer, then listed the home again in August with a new Realtor, SouthPark's HM Properties. It had been listed with CottinghamChalkHayes. When Lewis first listed the home for sale, The Wall Street Journal reported the house had been the site where Lewis and ex-Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain first discussed selling Merrill to BofA.

Having a home affordable to a plastic surgeon is the NKI, I guess.
If he walks out his front door and is in Charlotte then he paid $3.15MM too much for the place.
You do realize plastic surgeons are incredibly well-paid right? He's not selling it to the night shift ER doc from Bumfuck, Alabama.
I often wonder if Legg Mason's Bill Miller gives his PM, Samantha McLemore the old rusty trombone on days whent he market really tanks…….can we discuss this please? or dig up pics of her in her undies?
S McLemore is HOT!
He was CEO of a major bank…
The gated Morrocroft is about as good of community you are going to get if you want a luxury home with a 30min or less comute to uptown.
Are you under the impression DB is your LiveJournal page?
-Anup Gupta, M.D.
I thought Macklemore was the guy from the thrift shop song
"…his and her's dressing rooms, luxurious bathrooms, [nuclear powered oompa loompa grade tanning beds]."
– Ed.
Actually they're not all. It's kind of bimodal – some do really well and others make a nice but by no means incredible living.
Oh, and that nightshift ER doc? Making more these days than your average IBer.
Not surprised how widely he mispriced it. This is the guy who volunteered to pay 29 bucks a share for something (Merrill Lynch) he could have had for free.
He gets $15K for a pair of cans…does 4 sets a day.
Jarrod Daniel, is that you?
But it's real, and it's spectacular!
Still shouldn't be in the same league as the CEO of a huge bank. I suppose there's a limit to how much money you can spend in Charlotte.
We bought the REO next door and rented it to an associate at the law firm leading the mortgage fraud law suit against BofA.
– Managing Director Och-Ziff
it was a mansion in Charlotte. 3.15, not a whole lot of dough for either party
I thought he was the shooting guard for Kansas
Had my PA look up that word. Still a bit unclear on the meaning. Seems to have something to do with waitresses or people from Ohio?
I'd pay $3.15 million for a day with Gemma Godfrey.
Where did she come from?!?!?!
It was really impressive published article. I do personally learn in the post and also I will share it to my friends later after reviewing. Really interesting post indeed. Thanks.
Very cool article.
Great style
Great information here you have.

Shuttleworth to Continue Sponsoring Ubuntu
Mark Shuttleworth, the main sponsor of Ubuntu, may continue to fund the Linux distribution for a few more years.
In an interview with Computerworlduk.com, the South African billionaire explained that Ubuntu vendor Canonical might have an annual revenue of a few million dollars, but it's hardly enough to cover its costs. He goes on to say that it would likely take another three to five years to make it profitable.
Shuttleworth doesn't see any reason to deviate from the company's current business model. Because desktop sales are no longer key revenue sources, services are "the only way to build businesses around Linux." Despite his concern about the current economic crisis, he voices confidence in his blog that it can only help the Linux business model rather than harm it.
In the past, Shuttleworth has always claimed to pursue no commercial plans for Ubuntu. There was never to be a cost-based version; the distribution was to remain free

Gravity vs Electromagnetic Force
Name: emma Status: student Age: 15 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2000-2001
How is it that gravity wins over electro-magnetic force when electro-magnetic force is more powerful?
Gravity doesn't win over electromagnetic force. The motion of two electrons is completely dominated by the EM force between them -- the gravitational force is relatively negligible. If you stack the deck against the EM force, say by measuring the force between two rocks each with one extra electron, then the gravitational force wins.
Tim Mooney
Why do you say that gravity wins? A small magnet can pick up paper clips. This means that the magnetic force applied on the paper clips by the tiny little magnet is more than the gravitational force the entire earth can muster.

The following is an excerpt from a recent (academic) publication. The author, John Haught, explains why Teilhard's philosophy is compatible with evolutionary theory as it stands today. I thought the read was interesting, but be warned, it's not a light essay!
Teilhard's many writings imply, the fact of an evolving, and hence unfinished, universe, alters dramatically the cosmic context in which theology and theodicy must now function if they are to be believable. If the universe, as Teilhard emphasizes, is still coming into being, if it is even now being drawn toward a new future from its original condition of fragmentation and simplicity, it could never have existed in any initial state of perfection. The universe, in a sense, does not fully exist even yet, so how could it have been fully actualized in the past? Teilhard's synthesis of faith and evolution makes it clear that in the absence of any past state of completed creation the idea of restoration is no longer applicable.
Teilhard proposes an alternative cosmological framework, one that is fully supported by science, to serve as the context for theology's reflections on the meaning of suffering—and here I am talking about all of life's suffering and not just our own. In a universe that is still unfinished—one that is even today emerging from the "nothingness" of primal multiplicity—the attribute of perfection can be applied only to a future cosmic unity that will occur in the everlasting care of a God who calls the universe into being from up ahead in the future.

Not much to add here. Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly reports the Phillies have reached a 4-year, $50 million-dollar deal with an [updated] rumored vesting option that will bring the total tell to nearly $60 million, pending a physical, with free agent closer and douche emeritus Jonathan Papelbon.
These reports conflict previously published, taken-as-gospel, and roundly scorned reports that the Phils had a deal in place with Ryan Madson. The terms were public and everything! Now we have to consider the Phillies might just have lost their minds that much more!
If there is one thing an aging team with the best rotation of all time needs, it's a high-priced free agent closer, even if it means forfeiting a first-round draft pick in the process.
It is very easy to forget that, for all his faults, Jonathan Papelbon is an amazing reliever. One of baseball's very best since he entered the league. He has the most WAR since 2006, the lowest FIP (2.45) and the fifth-highest strikeout rate of any reliever notching 200 innings over that timeframe.
His is also a proven playoff performer, with only three runs allowed in 27 career post-season innings. He's also incredibly durably, missing time for a shoulder injury in 2006 with a clean bill of health since. If a Proven Closer is what the Phillies want, they got it.
They also blew the closer market away, spending an incredible amount of money on a relief pitcher when they seemingly had their own player ready to re-sign for less money and without the added expense of a draft pick (a draft pick, it should be noted, they'll get back when Madson signs somewhere else.)
But the Phillies are the Phillies. And Papelbon is a Papelbon. His slow-working ways are off to the National League for the first time in his career. Wow. Enjoy, Phillies fans! Good luck trying to talk yourselves into this one!

The Wave Tower is the newest high rise building to be built in the city that has too much money. A-cero Architects are incorporating the waves of the oceanfront property into the overall design of the place.
It is supposed to appear as if it is floating and the gently rolling bridge connects it to the mainland. It will be 92 floors of luxury, complete with indoor gardens.
"The tower stands like a stylized stem with a light torsion, creating the elegant movement that characterizes the project," according to Dexigner.com. "The base has the form of a pointed arch with smooth bends, imitating the shape of the waves in the Gulf Sea."

Blount County Attendence Issues
It looks like the absentee rate for Blount County schools was extremely high on Monday due to no bus service.
This was the first of 4 days Blount County school officials decided on due to budgeting.
The Blount County Board of Education eliminated four days of regular education bus
service in its $81million budget for fiscal year 2013-14.
Blount County Schools' attendance rate was 51.4 percent, 5,686 of its 11,053 students showed up for school.
School officials say they are concerned about the numbers.
Director of Schools Rob Britt says the school district had a predominately bus-dependent student population. Buses transport about 70 percent of its student population.
The other three dates are: Dec. 18,March 14 and May 20.
If a family's circumstances prevent them from transporting their child to and from school, they are being asked to contact the school principal or write a note that the child can give to their principal.
By reducing student transportation services, they eliminated $68,000 in expenditures.
The school board's action was part of an "overall package" to resolve a nearly $6 million
budget shortfall.
You have to wonder a few things about this.
- Is this political, remember the board encouraged a proposed wheel tax referendum a while back to generate revenues to cover the shortcomings in the budget. Are they punishing everyone by stopping the buses?
- Are parents lashing back by not making any effort to get their child to school and that's why only 50% showed up?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Orange!
Facts about Orange
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Orange's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Do you know this kitty. Found on Rt. 9 in Berwick Let us know if you recognized this beautiful kitty.
Other Pets at Another Chance Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Orange, a N. Berwick Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in N. Berwick, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in N. Berwick.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in N. Berwick already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a N. Berwick breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in N. Berwick paves the way for another one to be saved.

Two blonde "Gun Girls" write a creepy love letter to AR-15 assault rifles
If you're anything like me, you've probably reached the point where you're constantly confusing "real" "news" with articles from the Onion.
In that spirit, let me present today's "too unbelievable to be true but it fucking is" finding: an op-ed from two very blonde, very white women telling U.S. president Barack Obama about their fetish for assault rifles.
On January 23, Audrey Blankenship and Celia Bigelow's creepy love letter to the AR-15 assault rifle was published by the National Review Online.
In it, they claim that, as delicate little helpless pearl-clutching girls, they need as much fucking ammo as they can get to deter all those mythical criminals who are continually breaking into their houses.
A sample:
"Sorry, President Obama. As young women, we prefer an AR-15 "assault" rifle with a 30-round magazine for self-defense.
In fact, we wouldn't want to be stuck at home without one. In the wake of mass murders like Sandy Hook and the horrific rapes and murders of thousands of women each year, pepper spray, mace, or five-round handheld pistols aren't going to cut it.
So what's a girl to do? When choosing our tool for home defense, we want the best — in accuracy, handling, and aesthetics. The best choice by all three criteria is — hands down — the AR-15."
According to these two women, "An AR-15 might be a woman's best friend."
(I don't know about other ladies, but depending on the day, my best friend is either a cup of coffee or an afternoon nap taken in a puddle of sunshine. Of course, both of these will get me killed if someone breaks into my house, so I suppose I should really look into gun ownership.)
The next day, the "Gun Girls" reinforced their victimhood and need for a big, bad, strong man gun by tittering their way through an interview with Piers Morgan, who pretty much destroyed the pair—and all without firing a single magazine round.
Watch the heart-warming interview below.
On the other hand Jesse Ventura and Ted Nugent both put Morgan in his place!
Ted Nugent couldn't put a grilled-cheese sandwich in its place if it came with a frying pan.

There is a downside to franchising's perfect fit with this convenience trend: More franchisors are entering the market for convenience-hungry consumers, making it tough to profit in certain types of businesses, says Gordon. "Even if a business has a magic word such as 'convenience,' this doesn't mean it's a winner," he explains. "There's nothing magical about a convenience business or a franchise. When you have a good match between the entrepreneur and the business, plus a strategic model that makes economic sense and is well-executed, nothing's more powerful."
While many franchisors are capitalizing on the convenience trend, Elaine Romanelli, associate professor of strategy and entrepreneurship at the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University in Washington, DC, warns against franchisors that are "highly economy-dependent." "If and when the economy slows or takes a tumble, demand for these services will be one of the first things to decline," she says.
Finally, Romanelli warns that successful franchising of any sort of personal service business--including services such as house-painting, gardening and plumbing, in addition to more personal services--is one of the most difficult tricks to pull off. "Personal services can't be systemized in quite the way McDonald's or Mail Boxes Etc. can," she explains. "The quality of the personal service depends greatly on the competence, reliability and interpersonal skills of the individuals offering the service."
With that in mind, Gordon warns franchisees to be very careful before pursuing any trendy franchises. You'll need to determine whether the franchise will allow you to successfully offer a high level of personalized service. "Thorough research is absolutely critical," says Gordon. "The time to learn about its long-term prospects is before you reach for your checkbook."

The University of Colorado Denver provides online programs and degrees to nearly 17,000 students. As tuition prices and online education competition grew, CU Online needed to invest in marketing campaigns that would attract and recruit the right students. Integrating Microsoft Dynamics CRM into existing Microsoft products provided transparency, accountability, and data-driven decision making to invest in the right media outlets and ultimately, provide the best experience for students world-wide.
CU Online, part of the The University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus (CU Denver | Anschutz), was among the first in the nation to offer online courses and full degree programs. As online competition grew over the past decade, CU Online looked for solutions to modernize marketing tactics and develop efficient, data-driven campaigns that target and attract the right students and provide clear returns on the investment.
CU Online was utilizing old technology which caused delays due to manual inputs and inefficient processes. The marketing team logged high overhead costs from human hours and dated marketing practices. These practices also caused inefficient communication with prospective students and an inability to accurately allocate marketing funds. The need to automate workflow, minimize risk, and increase market presence became critical to the success of the university.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Data-Driven Campaigns
In order to compete with other online universities, reach and recruit students globally, and establish credibility as a top tier online university, the marketing team decided that the campaigns implemented needed to be data-driven from the beginning. The team chose the Microsoft Dynamics CRM platform to review past campaign investments, market in various world-wide media outlets, analyze results, produce detailed reports on budget and campaign allocation, and recruit the right students, strategically.
By creating a baseline to track an individual advertisement or campaign through enrollment, CU Online is now able to directly tie marketing campaign dollars with student recruitment activities and produce reports on marketing best practices to increase recruitment. The integration of CRM into SharePoint, CU's Student Information System (SIS), and other analytics platforms allows for automating contact with prospective students, tracking students from interest to enrollment, producing detailed reports for efficient forecasting, and utilizing clear data for more informed decision making and strategic investing.
Benefits of Change
The integration of Microsoft Dynamics CRM into already existing solutions helped CU Online achieve scalability, innovation, and efficiency. The university is able to track the lifecycle of a student from prospect to graduation and tie data back to the campaign, personalize, tailor and automate marketing communications to prospects who express interest, and analyze student recruitment and campaign data.
The ability to track and analyze campaigns and proactively recruit students has advanced marketing capabilities and increased recruitment and retention rates across the campus. This implementation is step one in modernizing and evolving student recruitment at CU Denver - Anschutz.
A Bright Future for CU Online
CU Online plans to build on this implementation to further advance recruitment capabilities. Future modernization goals include automating tasks based on logic, managing events and information sessions virtually, specifying online targeting using social media, personalizing messaging to prospects with course recommendations, identifying at risk students for retention, automating notifications to remind advisors to respond to prospect inquiries, and ensuring a smooth transition of prospects to the correct advisors and program managers.
