Product Highlights:
- Bolted to the engine crankshaft and serves as the mounting-surface of the clutch assembly
- Acts as a heat sink to dissipate heat from the pressure plate and disc.
Contact between the flywheel and disc will naturally cause hot spots, grooves, thermal cracks and/or frequent concave warpage. Therefore, the flywheel should always be replaced or resurfaced during each clutch system replacement. AMS Automotive understands that some flywheels are virtually impossible to resurface and that equipment plays an important role in the quality of the flywheel surface. AMS does not recommend the use of brake rotor lathes or small tool room lathes. Hot spots are significantly harder than the surrounding flywheel material. Brake rotor and small tool room lathes do not have the required cutting capacity to allow the cutting tool to remove hot spots in a uniform manner. Instead, a flywheel grinder or CNC lathe is used.

High Voter Turn Out Expected in New York - IDs Required
By Karen Dewitt
Albany, NY – The State Board of Elections reports that over 750,000 New Yorkers have registered to vote for the first time in next Tuesday's elections. Because of changes made by Congress after the 2000 elections, the new voters are required to show ID at their polling place. A high voter turn out is expected, and there are worries that there may be confusion at the polls about what kind of identification is acceptable. WAMC's Capitol Correspondent Karen Dewitt reports.

Anyone else feel like this?
a week before Deus came out free to download on ps+ i was thinking of buying it off the store so imagine my suprise the following
week when it was there before me FREE
to be honest im so glad i didnt buy it, its a decent game to play when your bored but the standard of games today is so high i find it
lacking in prowess
at the end of the day i expected more i was a bit disapointed but i still played the game up to about the second AUG boss, afterward i saw the price for dlc and just thourght enough is enough i doubt il be playing it again anytime soon
Anyone else feel like this? i dont know weather its because i got it for free or what but it just felt cheep, the origionals are still th better games
Re: Anyone else feel like this?
PlayStation Plus users in North America haven't gotten the game for free... yet, anyway. I did pick up the game at full price last Summer, seeing as how this latest entry in the franchise had me excited as a schoolgirl at a Justin Bieber performance. Well, maybe not that much... but yeah, I had some high hopes for what it looked like what was going into the story and gameplay.
The end product I wouldn't say is a top favorite, though it isn't bad. I did play all the way through the game, every last boss. If you don't care much for DLC you don't have to buy it unless you really want to extend the game. I've put money down on DLC a couple of times in the past well after initially completing a game. Because I wanted more PixelJunk Monsters and more Costume Quest, the drive to get them was there and so was the money spent. When it comes to Deus Ex though, it's not the kind of game I was greatly elated playing through... so having to wait and pay for a DLC companion was not in the cards. That's how Plus does business sometimes though. Obviously when a product is free, then the store will hit you with a bonus value on supported DLC, often on the cheap. If you can hold off on buying everything you see, then it's easier to hang onto that money for a while longer.
Re: Anyone else feel like this?
I personally think this game was crap. A generic grind game with no real destination. The illuminati Christ sake. The controls sucked for ps3.Actually by far the worst button config I have ever had to deal with. And the augments.Seriously what's with needing so many? Someone who produced the game had way to many idea. For your cliche grind game they just tried to throw in to much. I mean you have a shooter that's pretty easy until the boss fights, which in no way are anywhere near being contrast to the rest of the game. I downloaded it free and am still disappointed over it. It truly is a shame though because if they would have taken a different road this game could have been a 10 outta 10. Deus ex human revolution..your game sucks..and I probably wont check out any of the other titles due to the amazingly bad taste I got after this one

Using a beer buddy lager kit I've made my first home brew. I let it mash for 4 days it stopped bubbling a few days ago. Gettin 1004/1002 on on my hydrometer. I bottled last night n it's orange is that normal ?????
Hmmm. Not a whole lot of info here. I'll take a stab. You let it ferment for 4 days, right, not 'mash'? What temperature? Is it at a lager temperature (50ish)? Original gravity? Lagers can be pale/orange. If you bottled after four days of fermenting, you may have fermented way too high, especially for a lager.
"Beer, well respected and rightly consumed, can be a gift of God. It is one of his mysteries, which it was his delight to conceal and the glory of kings to search out."The Search for God and Guinness by Stephen Mansfield
It came as a kit I warmed the "syrup" which I'm amsumin is lager flavouring , 1kg of sugar to 3.5 ltrs of boilin water then added cold water till the total was 5 gallon. Mixed n left till it was about 20degrees added yeast n left in warm room for four days, after the second day it had stopped bubbling, I tested with a hydrometer n my readin was about 1004 which was fine (according to instructions). I bottled it usin a syphon into new clean beer bottles, I used cooper carbonation sugars. My problem is it looks to orange ( like liquid ump a lumpa) is that right ??
The color will not be so orange once the yeast fall out. A lager is usually fermented in the 10.5c range for a few weeks. Even at the temp you where at you should have waited a minimum of two weeks before you bottled it up.
Ok thanks it must b a typo on instructions

This post is long overdue. My sister has been posting about our joint rhinoplasties, primarily about her 1st rhinoplasty experience with Dr. Grigoryants (post is under Yes. We Are Doing This!

"If Nobody Else Can Fix Your F-ed Up..."
I had two prior nose jobs. The second one was botched badly leaving me with a long and sagging honker that took away from my other good features, plus my jacked columella made it look straight up deformed. I moved to LA and was told by various "top plastic surgeons" that my ethnic nose would never look small and like I wanted it to (they said they'd do the best they could though "for my face")... more

I need to post. I am looking at Dr. Daniel, Dr. Frankel and Dr. Mayer for my revision. I am hesitant to post my photo, but i've been so helped by you guys. I went to a famous doctor in the media and at first it looked great. it was a strong nose but uniform. Then, when the swelling went down, the tip started to curl and the bridge dropped. So now I have a deformity. I'm an actress and it has... more
"Worst Revision Rhinoplasty Ever...."
Went to this dr for a revision. my nose wasnt hideous when i came in, but i still wanted more of a slope ..thats it! instead he went on about numerous things i needed done, so i said fine, as long as its an improvement. months later, swelling goes down, and this guy did NOTHING to improve my nose. in fact, there appears to be a hump forming, ive got scar tissue that makes my nose look so... more
"Revision Rhino to Fix a Botch -..."
Broke my nose mountain biking in OC. First fix was a *total disaster* by a doc in OC. Wasn't a fix, was a flat out botch job. After much research, I chose Dr. Frankel. It was a complicated reconstruction, and he did a great job. High skill, and shocking low ego. An outstanding rhino specialist and a very caring doctor. more
"Revision rhinoplasty with Dr...."
Exciting stuff! Have booked my revision rhinoplasty with Dr. Grigoryants on Feb 19. I had my first rhinoplasty done in Australia back in 2007, with good results. Over the years though, it has gotten bigger and some asymmetries have started to show. Furthermore, my breathing was never corrected so Dr. G is going to put some grafts in and open up my airways. Will post a very long and detailed... more
"Extensive Revision Rhinoplasty -..."
After a disappointing primary rhinoplasty, I was seeking to revise my unsatisfactory result. My first op was a closed procedure. I sought to reduce a dorsal hump, refine my tip, take care of a hanging columella and resolve some asymmetries. I was left with retracted alars, a wide bridge, and an inexplicable "lump" that protruded from the right side of my nose. I underwent a pretty extensive... more
"Revision Rhinoplasty-Dr.Grigoryants"
I had rhinoplasty about 10 years ago to reduce the hump on the bridge of my nose. After surgery, the appearance of my nose improved, but it was left too long. It left my face unbalanced, the tip was projected too far out from my face. Over the years, I have developed a tip deformity, bossea that really started to bother me. My breathing needs improvement too, my nose feels constantly stuffy. I... more
"Perfect Rhinoplasty Revision..."
Several years ago I suffered a severe nose fracture which left my nose horribly disfigured and made it incapable for me to breathe through my right nostril. As the years went by, my breathing became so unbearable that I decided to seek treatment from a doctor here in my Midwest state to improve my breathing. I had a septoplasty which corrected my breathing but did nothing to change the shape... more
"Repeatedly Broken Nose - Beverly..."
I was motivated to finally have my revision rhino for my own confidence, my breathing and for my families sake to see if it would help my sinus headaches. i had my nose broken several times growing up, and had a rhinoplasty surgery which actually left my nose more crooked, and not looking good at all. i was botched by the original surgeon, but Dr Nassif rescued me from my nightmare and fixed... more
"Looking for Best Revision..."
After having two botched nose jobs by Stephen Pincus, md in Beverly Hills I am desperate to find an expert. Please share your experience and pics with me! First procedure was done in 2006 then one side started to collapse. I went back to him in 2012 and he told me it would be a no brainer easy fix. Now all of a sudden I have a very droopy tip and one side is still collapsed. I wish I never... more
"Dr. Grigoryants-Revision Journey"
I had what was supposed to be a finesse rhinoplasty in December 2013 with a double certified Dr. (see my previous review). What was to follow was nothing I ever expected or imagined. It has turned into a long, emotional, painful ordeal that I wish upon no one. When the cast came off, I nearly passed out from how swollen and hideous my nose looked. Instead, I went numb and my brain could not... more
"Great Results with Dr. Paul Nassif -..."
I had reconstructive rhinoplasty in April 2014 with Dr. Paul Nassif and am very happy with the results. I previously had two Moh's surgeries on my nose for basal cell carcinoma with a skin cancer doctor. After the second skin cancer surgery the inside of my right nostril collapsed. The collapse along with a deviated septum left me unable to breathe through my nose. I choose Dr. Nassif as... more
"This Was a Repair / Revision Update..."
Recently I noticed I could not breath out of my left nostril. I had already had a great rhinoplasty five years ago now I had this problem. I returned to my plastic surgeon only to find out I had developed scar tissue in that nostril. A rhinoplasty repair was the only option and since I had no real available ear cartilage I has a rib graft! My god I have never been in so much pain! But, eight... more
"Revision Rhinoplasty and Chin..."
Today is 3 1/2 months since I got a revision rhinoplasty and a chin augmentation from Dr. Nassif. I am already very pleased with the results and there is still a lot of swelling to go down. I am happier every month with the outcome. I have had two rhinoplasties before, and my bump grew back over time and my breathing had gotten very bad each year that went by. The tip of my nose also looked... more
"3 Broken Noses, 2 Surgeries + One..."
I have broken my nose 3 times and had rhinoplasty once before finding Dr. Srour. I loved my first surgery but still had a broken bone, a hole, and never felt like my nose was completely what I was born with or grew up with. It was definitely better but still not me and I didn't feel it was very feminine. I was always terrified of the idea of a 2nd rhinoplasty especially after having so much... more

"Revision Rhinoplasty After Being..."
I would absolutely stay away from Walden for Rhinoplasty. My nose was left unfunctional and I have been unable to breath since the procedure in 2011.

Your morning cup of coffee may power you through your busy work day, but what if it could also power up your cell phone? The Epiphany onEPuck is an incredible phone charger that siphons energy from your hot or cold drinks. The disk incorporates a Stirling engine that runs on heat disparities, transforming the change of your coffee's temperature into power for your cell phone battery.
Stirling engine systems are nothing new—they were first invented in 1816 as a rival to the steam engine. But with modern technology and materials, Epiphany was able to create a new thermodynamic system that can be used on your desk at the office. One side of the puck is marked with a red logo, which can receive hot beverages. Coffee, soup or even candles can be placed on the puck (in a mug of course) and be connected to your phone to charge the battery. Cold drinks and ice can be placed on the blue side.
As your hot drink cools down or the ice in your soda melts, the Stirling engine turbine begins turning, which generates electricity for the charger. A cup of coffee has enough power to fully charge your phone, just while you drink it. Even better, the onE Puck is a perfect back up if you forget your charger or no outlet is in site.
Epiphany has launched a Kickstarter campaign to start production, so green energy (and coffee) enthusiasts can cash in before they hit retail prices.

Sadly this company is full of false promises, I too was very excited about the possibilities of this device and even \\\'backed\\\' them $115 to their Kickstarter campaign. It was projected that they would be finished with building the device about a year after receiving funding. Well That was about two years ago and from the comments left by backers like me all show that none got their reward and the company has left no trail for means to contact them. Its a take the money and run agenda from what I\\\'ve experienced. Though I still think this device would be an amazing tool for a cool and clean way to charge up small devices, I just wish Epiphany was trust worthy.

So we've had this technology for the last 200 years and the farthest we've taken it is a cellphone charger?
Elaine Brown August 22, 2013 at 9:38 pm
How much does this unit cost and how can one buy one?

I am very happy to hear the modern invention for electronic technology power genration with simple methodology of termodaynamic as well the application of nano technology. I need to advertise in my area how to use the renewable solar energy for power generation which is helpful to protect inviroment pollution and economical as well. I appreciate you interest to work with me as partener and share your information in power energy new invention and in solar , wind , nano technology and others. Baroodandar

Nice idea, but the numbers don't work out (as many in the kickstarter comments section point out). First year thermodynamics, and no amount of clever engineering will avoid the inevitable. Plus, if the cup is only weakly thermally connected to the puck, the efficiency is even worse. For example, a paper coffee cup, or a ceramic cup, maintains an insulating air gap on their bottom surfaces. Which will kill the transfer of energy from the liquid to the stirling engine.

PTO generator
Ron_pressJanuary 21, 2013
I have a Onan 15kw PTO generator, it was working good only uses it when power went out. Power dose not go out offten maybe two to three hour a year. but once in a wile longer if we have a ice storm. I was running the generator and the cooling fan came apart and damaged the windings. This generator is an older unit, If any one had one setting around or knows where there is one I would be very intrested in it. The unit I have is a 15KW onan 540PTO unit model 15VF-3N104-1A.

Three Things To Improve Your Law Firm's Social Media Marketing in 2015
When I committed myself to social media marketing a few years ago, like most lawyers, I wasn't quit sure what I was getting myself into. One thing I knew for sure: I had to just start.
I'm sure my early posts were fairly mundane and added little value, let alone acted as a catalyst for a conversation. As most social media experts will posit, social media is about identifying and engaging with customers, employees and prospects. Over time, I increased my engagement, learned to participate and learned what worked and what didn't. What follows are a couple of things that I try to keep in mind as part of my legal social media marketing efforts.
1. Have a voice. As lawyers we have instant credibility. Use this to your advantage. Whether you are a personal injury lawyer or in house counsel to a pharmaceutical company, you probably follow certain topics or have expertise in a particular area. You can use your area of expertise to talk about events, trends or interesting developments. Even if all you do is post a link to something that interests you, you are developing your online persona.
2. Cultivate your followers. One of the most powerful aspects of social media marketing is the network effect. As followers like, share or favorite your content, your message gets spread exponentially. Don't be afraid to engage with those followers to cultivate and strengthen those relationships.
3. Always evaluate. Sometimes I am shocked that a post gets shared or favorited. For whatever reason, the subject matter resonates with my followers and my followers' followers. When I see that, I try to note the subject area or topic, how it was shared an by whom. Focusing on content that others find useful enhances the value of my voice and my content.
As we look forward to 2015, now is an opportune time to take a look at what work last year, what didn't and how we can improve our focus going forward.
If you find my posts uself, I encourage you to share, comment, follow or just get in touch.
Best of luck for your legal marketing efforts in 2015!
Zombie Cinderella 'Survives' Walt Disney's Cinderella Trademark- No Likelihood of Confusion
United Trademark Holdings, Inc. ("Applicant") appealed a decision by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office refusing registration of its "ZOMBIE CINDERELLA" trademark for dolls when the USPTO held that it was confusingly similar to the registered "WALT DISNEY'S CINDERELLA" trademark.
In any likelihood of confusion analysis, two key considerations are the similarities between the marks and the similarities between the goods at issue. Applicant demonstrated that the story of "Cinderella," is a "well-known narrative … involving a beautiful young lady, her antagonistic stepsisters, a fairy godmother, a ball, a prince, and a pair of glass slippers, existing since at least as early as 1697."
The USPTO cited to nine other doll lines that use the name "Cinderella" holding that: 1) the mark is weak, and 2) CINDERELLA is not the dominant component of the cited, registered mark. The court found that while the dominant part of the mark -the term CINDERELLA – was similar, use of the terms "Walt Disney" and "Zombie" differentiated the two. The USPTO also found that "the design element of "WALT DISNEY'S CINDERELLA" may function, for juvenile customers, as a stronger source indicator than the term CINDERELLA, because it depicts a specific version of Cinderella that is associated with the Walt Disney animated film" of the same name.
Lastly, although the word "zombie" has little significance or distinctiveness as a source indicator in the marketplace for toys, the combination of ZOMBIE with CINDERELLA creates a unitary mark with an incongruous impression.
Launch Designer Workshops By EDITOR-AT-LARGE: Contracts
Contracts for Interior Design Professionals
This crash course on legal contracts is designed for interior designers who are drafting a contract for the first time or wanting to make an existing one airtight.
There's a reason you became a designer, and it probably didn't have anything to do with lawyers and contracts.
You're the expert in color, fabric, floor plans, and furniture schemes, not intellectual property and arbitration provisions. If you're already confused, don't fret. This crash course is designed for those drafting a contract for the first time or wanting to make an existing one airtight. Led by David Adler, an actual lawyer who understands the ins and outs of the design industry, this workshop will cover the clauses you need to protect yourself in the unfortunate event that something doesn't work out as planned. Clients can be difficult enough. Don't let legal trouble slow you down.
In this class, you will learn how to:
- Define what you are doing for your client, as well as NOT doing for them
- Make sure you get paid on time and in full
- Protect yourself against outside factors that may affect cost and ability to complete a project
- Give yourself a way to get out of your contract if things aren't working
By the end of class, you will have:
- A basic understanding of key contract terms and the reasons as to why they are there
- A basic client agreement that you can use or customize

Success = Scrutiny: recent trends in FTC actions against affiliate/online marketers
Online marketing continues to evolve and affiliate marketing can be a great method of building brand awareness. Online marketers need to stay ahead of legal and regulatory compliance trends. This article looks at recent Federal Trade Commission ("FTC," "Commission," or "agency") activity that impacts online marketing.
Given the lack of a comprehensive federal regulatory scheme, and the increasing awareness of deceptive marketing practices, it is not surprising that the FTC has ramped up enforcement efforts against entities not covered by existing, industry-specific federal regulations over the last decade. Notably, one company has defended itself against the FTC by challenging the FTC's authority to pursue such broad enforcement.
The widely-watched case of FTC v. Wyndham Worldwide Corp is not just about Cybersecurity.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has just won the first major round of its fight with Wyndham Hotels over data security. However, the importance of the case has more to do with the FTC's jurisdiction, challenged when Wyndham moved to dismiss the FTC's case. Affirming the FTC's broad jurisdiction, the federal judge overseeing the controversy noted that the case highlights "a variety of thorny legal issues that Congress and the courts will continue to grapple with for the foreseeable future."
Affiliate Marketing: A Roadmap for Compliance: Text Message Marketing
The Commission is cracking down on affiliate marketers that allegedly bombard consumers with unwanted text messages in an effort to steer these consumers towards deceptive websites falsely promising "free" gift cards.
For example, in eight different complaints filed in courts around the United States, the FTC charged 29 defendants with collectively sending more than 180 million unwanted text messages to consumers, many of whom had to pay for receiving the texts. The messages promised consumers free gifts or prizes, including gift cards worth $1,000 to major retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart and Target.
By now, many in the Affiliate Marketing industry are familiar with the Legacy Learning Systems case. In March, 2011 the FTC settled charges against Legacy — which sells instructional DVDs — that Legacy represented, directly or indirectly, expressly or by implication, reviews of their products were endorsements reflecting the opinions of ordinary consumers or independent reviewers, when many of the favorable endorsements were posted by affiliate marketers who received a commission from Legacy for sales they generated.
Regardless of the form of affiliate marketing – email campaigns or text message campaigns – there are a couple key take-aways here.
First, identify and disclose a material connection between a product user or endorser and any other party involved in promoting the product. A "material connection" is a relationship that affects the credibility of an endorsement and wouldn't be reasonably expected by consumers. See our article about complying with the endorsement guides here.
Second, set up and maintain a system to monitor and review affiliates' representations and disclosures to ensure compliance. For example, Legacy looked at its top 50 revenue-generating affiliates at least once a month, visiting their sites to review their representations and disclosures. It has to be done in a way designed not to disclose to the affiliates that they're being monitored.
Third, understand he requirements for conducting legally-compliant text message marketing. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) makes it unlawful to make any call (other than a call made for emergency purposes or made with the prior express consent of the called party) using any automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice … to any telephone number assigned to a . . . cellular telephone service … or any service for which the called party is charged for the call. The prohibition on calls to cell phones applies to text messaging.

People of Walmart featuring The Mullet [VIDEO]
There are three known people who save the world and have a mullet - Solid Snake, Captain Planet and MacGyver. The rest of us should probably just stick to something a little less sexy. The mullet has threatened a comeback since it's death in the early 90's, and thanks to the fine people who bring you "People of Wal-mart," we have video evidence that the style may soon be re-born....or not.

Migraine, or something else?
cheerful1_gwMay 6, 2010
The other night, I felt like my head was in a vise. I had chills and sweats. I thought it was subsiding yesterday during the day, but at night I had the same head feeling, and threw up. Not too much better today, and when I take a step, it feels like someone punched me in the chest.
I've had similar headaches before, but not the other symptoms. Anyone know what this may be?
Definitely see a doctor, immediately. A sudden, severe, new type of headache should always be investigated. What if it were something like meningitis?
If you've had migraines before, then you know that the severe headache is normal, as is the nausea and throwing up, but not the rest of your symptoms. Do see the doctor.

Briggs 6.75 on Craftsman 22' deck knocks & smokes in tall grass
I bought this used last summer & almost immediately it began knocking, only when hitting a high patch or other type of load. If there are 10 knocks there are 10 puffs of blue smoke out the exhaust. It also smells like it's burning oil the whole time it's running. I've only used it once this season right after changing the oil (again) so I didn't see a noticeable drop in the oil level but I know it's burning some. I just wonder if it may be a broken ring or something more expensive than the mower is worth. I'm on a tight budget right now & can't afford a new one so any advice would be appreciated.
On another note, I have to use the primer bulb 7-10 times EVERY time I start it unless it's been shut off less than a minute or so. Any ideas? Thanks so much.
Maybe you should use a weed wacker on the high grass first, then trim it out with the mower. It sounds like you are over-loading the capacity of the engine by loading it up with that tall, thick grass. Or, the only other thing would be to buy one of those machines that are advertised to mow high weeds, grass, and anything else.
Your "poor mower" is suffering by you using it in that tall thick stuff--give it a break-buy a good weed-wacker!

Books-A-Million Book Club February 2007 Selection:
A language kept a secret for a thousand years forms the backdrop for an unforgettable novel of two Chinese women whose friendship and love sustains them through their lives.
This absorbing novel with a storyline unlike anything Lisa See has written before takes place in 19th century China when girls had their feet bound, then spent the rest of their lives in seclusion with only a single window from which to see. Illiterate and isolated, they were not expected to think, be creative, or have emotions. But in one remote county, women developed their own secret code, nu shu "women's writing" the only gender-based written language to have been found in the world. Some girls were paired as "old-sames" in emotional matches that lasted throughout their lives. They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their windows to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments.
An old woman tells of her relationship with her "old-same," their arranged marriages, and the joys and tragedies of motherhooduntil a terrible misunderstanding written on their secret fan threatens to tear them apart. With the detail and emotional resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha , Snow Flower and the Secret Fan delves into one of the most mysterious and treasured relationships of all timefemale friendship.

Nothing! It can't be done!!
3.5 year old girls don't belong on a boat, so I guess that you will have to sell her (the boat, not the daughter
- although I can think of one member that might make an offer for your daughter
You are in luck! I just happen to know someone looking for a boat.
Seriously, I agree with JimHawkins. She needs a small area of responsibility on board. Give her a job, and lavish praise on her for doing it well.
Here is one idea: have her plan what you will do when you go ashore (Jewell / Damariscove/Eagle Islands). Help her to understand that half the fun of sailing is planning what you are going to do.
Put her in charge of watching out for motorboats, Rocna Anchors, Ketches and Sloops. Give her a notebook, and have her keep a running tally.
