C3 Corvette Console Repair - Please Console Me
After having removed the shifter console from the car, invert it and remove the forward fiber optics trim plate retaining clips with a hemostat or needle-nose pliers.
Find a piece of scrap wood at least 12 inches long and 3 inches wide. Invert the removed trim plate on the wood and blacken the tips of both securing posts with a permanent black ink marker.
Flip the trim plate over and press the securing posts into the wood lightly to transfer the ink marks to the wood. Then use a 3/16-inch drill to bore holes about 1/2 inch into the wood at the post marks.
Insert the trim plate posts into the newly-bored holes. This wooden stand will serve to hold the trim plate steady and secure for the next steps.
I recommend using protective gloves and eye protection for the rest of the operations. Use a strong paint solvent (gasoline works well) and a disposable utility brush to thoroughly coat the black paint on the trim plate so that it loosens and, ultimately, washes away. You may have to repeat this procedure two or three times depending on the strength of the solvent you're using.
It may be necessary to use fine steel wool dipped in solvent to loosen and remove stubborn bits of paint in the corners. If you use steel wool, use it sparingly and with as little pressure as possible to lessen the chances of scratching the soft pot metal.
Here's what the naked trim plate looks like with all of the satin black paint removed. Be sure to let the trim plate dry thoroughly before proceeding further.
The Eastwood Company makes an excellent satin black wheel paint that is a perfect match for the GM factory trim paint's patina and lustre. The spray can trigger grip, also available from Eastwood, makes controlling the spray easier and more comfortable.
Give the entire trim plate 4-6 light coats of satin black after shaking the can thoroughly. Several light layers adhere to the chrome-plated pot metal much better than a couple of heavy coats and the light coats yield a more uniform finish.
A fine-grit sanding sponge is available at your local home center or neighborhood hardware store for under $2.00. This is what we'll use to remove paint from unwanted areas.
Start at one edge of the trim plate and gently-and I mean gently-pull the sponge across the trim plate with nothing more than the weight of your index finger as pressure on the sponge. It's OK to go over the same area several times if necessary-remember it is easier to remove unwanted paint from the high-relief areas gradually than to press hard and remove too much, making it necessary to start all over again from step 5.
You'll have to pay a little extra attention to the "right lamps" and "left lamps" lettering to clean them up nicely. Use the very corner tip of the sponge to gently work the tops of the letters until they look presentable.
When the face of the trim plate is finished, turn it on its side and work the outer edges all around to leave a fine, uniform line of chrome on the outline. Slow and steady here-you're almost home and you don't want to botch things up now.
Here's the finished trim plate looking pretty darned good. With the money you saved doing this refurbishment yourself you can order a couple of pizzas, get yourself a six-pack and a bunch of flowers for you know who. Go on and enjoy being a hero-you deserve it for a nice job well done.

'National Cleavage Day' Event Stops Traffic
Traffic was stopped in London during a celebration of National Cleavage Day.

I've done a lot of stupid things in my life. This is not one of them. After being arrested for being LOADED, this budding star entertained the cop all the way to jail.
On Sunday, a young man seemingly drew inspiration from the mischievous McDonaldLand character Hamburglar and stole a $20 bag of food from a McDonald's drive-thru in Maine. It's unclear whether he shouted "Robble robble!" while escaping.
A recent Tweet comparing the tragic Trayvon Martin shooting with the Kim Kardashian flour incident went viral because it was seemingly sent by actor Will Smith. Except it wasn't. The Tweet was from Twitter user @RealWillSmith, who is not, in fact, the real Will Smith.

No, he did not eat the Angry Birds. He simply used them to keep his mind from going crazy. David Heatherly had been snapping shots of beautiful Montana scenery on a recently reopened road in the Lewis and Clark National Forest when his sport-utility vehicle became stuck. The next three days he spent inside his car with nothing but some jerky and his cell phone.
Everyone knows that St. Patrick's Day is the one day out of the year when we're all Irish. And, apparently that translates into wearing anything green and silly we can get our hands on and having as much to drink as we can carry at one time. But, there's another strange tradition that has developed in celebration of this day. We can't explain it. Are Irish people really that into unnaturally green food?
Few icons from folklore and mythology have been branded and co-opted more than the leprechaun. Stories of their rare appearances and coveted pot of gold have permeated almost every aspect of popular culture. They have become so synonymous with Irish culture that the streets are filled with tall green hats and green coats every St. Patrick's Day. Their history, however, is far different from the traditional leprechauns that endlessly wander into bars and fight hangovers one weekend in March. Take a look at a few things you probably didn't know about leprechauns.
If you're a child of the '80s, you might remember 'Can't Buy Me Love,' the Patrick Dempsey high school comedy which hit theaters on August 14, 1987. Smack dab in the middle of the film, Seth Green, who plays Dempsey's younger brother, strikes a pose which modern audiences would immediately recognize as 'Tebowing."
There is a woman in the United Kingdom who makes her living by making it with herself. We mean, of course, that she's a sex toy tester.
Streets are often named after notable people, so one can only imagine how exactly New Portland, Maine residents came up with the name Katie's Crotch Road.

many thanks steve
G'day Steve,
Awesome to hear your got an adventure planned! I am genuinely excited for youse! You never know we might bump into each other out on the trail. It's a big country, but a small world if you know what I mean...
With my sea going five week on and five week off work roster I usually do my ride report at the end of my five weeks off or as soon as possible during my time at work on the ship when we are in reception range/port. I'll explain why and how.
All my shots are done with my iPhone or GoPro. I would love to use an SLR camera or use better equipment but as you know, on a bike, space and weight are at a premium. I admire crew that sacrifice other "necessities" for the sake of capturing far clearer, better quality footage with extra photographic equipment.
In the evenings, usually in my swag relaxing, I will sync my photos to iPad (sorry I sound like some computer geek) and go through all the shots keeping and deleting as I see fit. Many times I take multiple shots to make sure I get at least one good one. Humidity, dust, movement etc will wreck many photos and it's hard to realize at times through a small viewing screen with all your riding gear on... The iPad I find is just better to view your shots with and discriminate which are keepers.
I guess I am lucky in one respect while traveling alone and not in a particular rush, it doesn't bother me to stop whenever to take photos. Early in my ride I missed several amazing photo opportunities from hesitating about whether to stop or not. I curse myself with a few once in a lifetime chances I missed!
Both my iPad and iPhone are in those "Lifeproof" covers and I will happily testify they wouldn't have lasted very long without them while beating around the countryside.
So once I stop my riding, clean and service my bike and gear ready for the return to work, I get stuck into to doing the Ride Report. Fortunately the apple equipment and I believe others these days have a GPS (geocaching?) feature that helps me to no end in remembering when and where I was as I took the photos. Without it I would be doing a lot of scratching my head whilst looking at my map wondering "Where the hell was....?"
As I ride, the thoughts and experiences come thick and fast. These all seem to come back to me later once I sit down armed with the photos and keyboard, then the story flows...
I found in many cases where I stop for the night in the outback the phone/internet reception is rare so doing the report is out of the question. Mostly though I'm that worn out after 10 hours hanging onto the bike, just sorting the photos at the end of the day is a battle in itself!
It depends on how long you leave it before you start writing the report, but I am pretty sure with the awesome memories you will no doubt make, you shouldn't have too much trouble remembering them!
You're going to have a ball!
Ty 😉

You cite some damage numbers, but the error you're making is that you assume are using skills data that relates to skill level 20. In advanced game, you SHOULD be looking at the numbers for skill level 35 or even 40 (depending on itemization...)
Which leads me to my next point, specifically, that FOR ALL D2 character builds, itemization is the only relevant consideration.
"Boner" necros are extremely powerful PvP characters. Since there is no *significant* resistance to "magic" damage there is little your opponents can do to mitigate the damage done by your bone spells. The dominant boner strategy is to stack FCR and +skills, wear an enigma, and if you're ranged elemental damage then some sort of resistance gear and they've got an EXTREMELY good chance of beating almost any other build (of any class) in PvP. They tele around, casting auto-targetting bone spirits and never let you get near enough to engage in melee.
Further, well geared poison necros are very viable for soloing the endgame. Sure, they are not the fastest killers, but they are extremely hardy. There are very few things that the game can throw at them that they won't be able to handle with relative ease.
In my opinion, the curse tree is one of the weakest, requiring AT MOST a single point in each skill.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 1/31/13
ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned on Thursday's NFL Live that the Baltimore Ravens may "very well" end up parting ways with WR Anquan Boldin following the Super Bowl, via Rotoworld.com. Schefter added that the Ravens are projected to be $5 million over the 2013 salary cap, which is a huge problem given that Joe Flacco is set to become an unrestricted free agent and is reportedly seeking $20 million annually in his next contract. If the Ravens were to release Boldin, they would shed $5.5 million and cutting Jacoby Jones could free up another $3.5 million. On top of that, Baltimore still wouldn't be able to address their other free agents like S Ed Reed, OLB Paul Kruger, ILB Dannell Ellerbe and CB Cary Williams. We have all of these players listed in our Top 50 & Top 100 Free Agents list. The post Ravens Forced To Release WR Anquan Boldin This Offseason? appeared first on NFL Trade Rumors -.

They also installed all the fresh interior pieces along with a refurbished center console complete with an OEM Ralley Gauge pack. At first glance, the interior looks like it came out of an early-'70s GM brochure, but better. In fact, that's how the whole car comes off. George managed to retain the best parts of the '72 and update it without sacrificing the car's soul in the process. "My wife, Denise, who prefers not to ride in our '32 Coupe, loves the ride and sound of our new Camaro," remarked George. Yeah, looks like they're both keepers.

increase in costs is predicated on there being no major structural changes or reforms in the way health care is financed and delivered. The forecasts also assume no major differences in the mix of plans that would cover the uninsured from those which now cover the privately or publicly insured populations, in terms of scope of benefits, extent of coverage (levels of deductibles, copayments, stop losses, and other cost-sharing elements), or utilization review and other care management practices.
In addition, the estimates that follow assume that the current capacity of the health care system is sufficient to meet the increased demand without generating additional inflation in health care prices. This assumption may not hold in those localities with particularly large uninsured populations and limited health care delivery resources. In any case, estimates of inflation in health care prices would depend on the particular features of a proposed health care reform, including any explicit cost control elements. The possible alternatives are too numerous to be considered in this report.
In what follows, the Committee presents results from the studies by Long and Marquis (1994), by Miller, Banthin, and Moeller (2003), and by Hadley and Holahan (2003b). We do not review the older literature on comparisons of alternative health plans because the estimates depend on very specific features and are usually targeted at the cost of the entire reform proposal, not just the increase in cost for covering those currently uninsured. Typically, the latter is much smaller than the former. We also do not review studies of the effects of cost sharing on demand for health services because there are a number of reviews in the literature that evaluate the response to out-of-pocket costs; see Zweifel and Manning (2000) for one of the most recent.
Stephen Long and Susan Marquis (1994) predicted the additional ambulatory and hospital care that the population without health insurance could be expected to use if they had health insurance. Their work was based on data from the middle to late 1980s from three nationally representative surveys: the National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES), the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), and the Health Interview Survey (HIS). Based on their estimates of differences in use, they predicted the utilization experience that uninsured people would be expected to have if they were in a typical employment-based plan. The 1987 NMES provided the uninsured population sample, updated by the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) to account for changes in the size and mix in the uninsured population between 1987 and 1992. The authors termed the difference in utilization for this standard population in the uninsured and insured states as the "access gap" attributable to lacking coverage. The model assumed that other aspects of health care financing and delivery, such as the mix of prepaid and fee-for-service health plans, cost-sharing provisions, and scope of benefits, re-

Paul Burka
The dean of the Capitol press corps, senior executive editor Paul Burka joined the staff of Texas Monthly one year after the magazine's founding, in 1973. For nearly forty years he has led the magazine's political coverage and spearheaded its storied roundup of the Best and Worst Legislators each biennium. A lifelong Texan, he was born in Galveston, graduated from Rice University with a B.A. in history, and received a J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law.
Burka is a member of the State Bar of Texas and spent five years as an attorney with the Texas Legislature, where he served as counsel to the Senate Natural Resources Committee.
Burka won a National Magazine Award for reporting excellence in 1985 and the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award. He is a member of the Texas Institute of Letters and teaches at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also a frequent guest discussing politics on national news programs on MSNBC, Fox, NBC, and CNN.
An attempt, however futile, to figure out what the comptroller is up to.
A few lawmakers in both parties distinguished themselves during one of the worst sessions anyone can remember. As for the rest? Well, in the words of Jon Stewart, that famous observer of Texas politics: not so much.
They're obvious to everyone except, apparently, the people we elected to fix Texas. They include some easy solutions and at least one that will probably get me a lot of hate mail (but that doesn't mean I'm wrong).
The Gulf carried mendacity in every molecule. Its beauty, its tranquillity, was all a lie. It had created Galveston, carved out its deepwater port, tempted us with the promise of greatness, and then betrayed us.

Stone, keep in mind that the price you pay at a brick & mortar or online store for the Kodak or Fuji brand includes overhead for the retailer, plus they need a little profit. Typically retailers like this operate at a higher expense than the dollar stores.
Also, when film is "rebranded" for a "dollar" or "pound" store, Kodak or Fuji make less per unit than if they sold to Freestyle or B&H. However, they get a contract for a very large volume, which helps make up for the loss.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Anadolu Agency is broadcasting and presenting the "Islam in Asia" report.
AA reports from several locations including China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore and Thailand. In this exclusive file AA will be highlighting the everyday life experiences of Muslims in Asia, their histories, ancient monuments and contacts with Ottoman Empire.
People who live in these countries have interesting stories to tell as their rooted cultures were blended with the Islamic way of living.
The greatest feature of these Muslim communities in Asian countries is that they are united very well even though they are the minority groups within most of these geographically large Asian countries.
Muslims who live in Far East and South Asia have different life styles than the other Muslims in the rest of the world. Muslims in Asia blended their life styles which was formed by the Asian culture with the culture of Islam and they managed it without abandoning the basic codes of Islam.
Islam appears in front of you in the Great Mosque of Xi'an city, a calligraphy of Quran on a plaque or at a giant mosque where 200 thousand Muslims can pray, in the furthest country of Asia, Indonesia.
One of the most features of Muslims who live in Asian countries is that they keep united all the time. Islamic societies, education establishments, close relationships between them and their solidarity take great attention.
Muslims still feel Islam after adding the mystic atmosphere and living of Asia.
Even though Asian Muslims met with Islam later on, they kept the religion ongoing. Asian Muslims' culture were influenced from mosques to education centres.
What Asian Muslims have in common is that even though they adopted Islam at different periods, they all had connection to Ottoman Empire and their relations grew when they joined the centre of caliphate during the Sultan Abdulhamid the second.
The history of Islam is rooted in the very old days in China which is located in the farthest east of Asia.
China is a home to many rare artifacts combining Chinese and Islamic culture.
China hosts a rooted Islamic culture with Great Mosque, Niucie Mosque and Huaixing Mosque in former capital Xi'an, as well as in Beijing and Guangzhou.
Official figures in the country show that 10 of 56 minority races are Muslim, and nearly 30 million Muslims are living in the country. Hui people (Chinese Muslims) are the highest Muslim population in China.
Chinese Muslims are mainly living in northern and northwestern states of China. There is a Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the north of the country.
Muslims have their own schools and education centers which work together with Islamic Association and Islamic Institute in Beijing.
There are 72 mosques in capital Beijing. Most of them had been built in old dates combining Chinese culture and motives with the Islamic motives.
Xi'an city, which had been the longest-time capital of Chinese dynasties, is also known with the Islamic motives it hosts.
The Great Mosque in Xi'an, which was built in 742, was taken under protection by Chinese government in 1956 as an important historical and cultural work of art. All verses of Quran were carved and imprinted on the wooden inner walls of the mosque.
The mosque has hosted over 10 million visitors including important statesmen from 100 countries so far.
Islam was first introduced in China by Sahaba (companions) of prophet Muhammad namely Sad ibn abi Waqqas (Uncle of Mohammad), and three other Sahabas.
China's oldest known mosque takes place in Guangzhou which is also a home to tombs of Sahabas. The minaret of the mosque is different from the other mosques' minarets in China. The minaret had been used as a lighthouse during the years it was built. Chinese called the mosque as Huaixing (Lighthouse) Mosque which was built in 627. It is known as one of the oldest mosques of the world.
The social complex of Niucie Mosque including Beijing Hamidiye University, which was opened by imam Abdurrahman Vang Kuan and two Ottoman teachers during Sultan Abdulhamid II period, still exists in Beijing.
The school was opened in one of the buildings of Niucie Mosque's social complex, and played an important role in education of Chinese Muslims. The social complex part of the mosque still serves for religious education of Muslims.
Chinese sources accept first contact between Muslim Arabs and China as in 628, while official documents show it as 651. Chinese sources said a Muslim messenger arrived in China from Arabia in 651.
First messenger was sent to China during third Caliph Osman period. The messenger had an official meeting with Chinese emperor, and briefed him about the general situation in Saudi Arabia and Islamic religion.
Talks with China continued too during Abbasids period, and the political relations between China and Arab states gained importance.
Later on, Islam spread across the country through wars and commerce.
Especially during Ming dynasty, Muslims gained a huge esteem. Ming Emperor Hung Wu gave special privileges to Muslims and appointed them to high-level positions in the state.
Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, has begun and World Bulletin has put together pictures that showcases Muslims from across the Islam world during this sacred month.
In Addis Ababa, turnout at mosques was so high that main streets had to be closed to make way for worshippers
West Bank cities are being decorated to celebrate holy month of Ramadan with Ramallah lighting the biggest lantern for Ramadan
According to a report by Calico Mercato website, the amount will be used to develop mosques and Islamic centers in Florence province.
Quran prints that were written during the Prophet Muhammads lifetime are now on display at the Berlin State Library
The mosque was first opened in 1901 but was seized and closed in the 1920's and then used first as a cinema and then as a restaurant that served alcohol. In 2002 restorations began to open the mosque for service
It is no known secret of the tremendous contribution of Muslim scientists to the world of astronomy. Amongst them is the astronomical table including data that was first set up by Arab astronomer Ibn al-Shatir that is almost 700 years old. Ibrahim Muteferrika, a Hungarian priest who converted to Islam was the first to bring the printing press to the Ottoman Empire as well Ibrahim Tiflisi providing detailed descriptions of a solar eclipse.
Local Muslim community in Belgium calls for recruiting chaplains who can educate youth about religion.
Australian Muslim TV studio, Islam TV, aims to counter media 'bias'. Aims to offer opposition to what it sees as negative representations of Islam in country's mainstream media.
Growing up in a large lower middle-class family on his father's teaching salary, Makbul Patel said he learned early the value of a dollar. In his private practice, he saw that people were in need and wanted to help them, saying that this project is something that is close to his heart
In a historic first for the United States, an American Muslim college has now joined the nation's community of accredited institutions of higher education.
After a spate of negative press on Canadian Muslims, the Choudry family have devised a unique way to tackle Islamophobia.
Various religious and civil rights organizations have filed friend-of-the-court briefs backing Samantha Elauf, who was denied a sales job because she wears a head scarf

Children need encouragement. If a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way he develops a good, lucky feeling.
I'm kind of new to the online thing and don't really know what to expect. But, I figured I'd give it a try and see how it goes. I am a very laid back and pretty much always happy. I don't really get too up or too down about things, especially if they are out of my control. I enjoy staying active and love being outside. Whether it be boating, fishing, out at the archery range, or going to a beachside dive bar for the drinks on the patio. I would consider myself fairly shy until a conversation starts, but it's kind of hard to shut me up. I tend to turn a 5 minute story into 30 minutes of tangents and sometimes never finish the original story. I'm very sarcastic and people tell me it's hard to tell if I'm being serious or not. If you're not sure, I'm probably joking. But I can be serious when it's required for the situation. I'm very loyal and go out of my way to help a friend (or a stranger in need). I was raised in the south so I'm very friendly to pretty much everyone I meet until they give me a good reason not to be. I currently live in Florida, but looking to relocate to the Phoenix area. I figured I may be able to meet some people and hit the ground running when I get there. I would love to get to know some people and see where it goes from there. If you want to know anything else, just shoot me a message or email and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I like Dogs
I love dogs but don't have one myself. I stay pretty busy so I would feel bad leaving the dog at home while I'm out and about.
Some other viewpoint
Florida Keys - Savannah, GA - I am not much into the club scene (too much hair gel, affliction shirts, and gold chains for my liking) and prefer a dive bar or daytime drinking on the patio when the weather is nice.
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
I love music and my tastes are very eclectic. I listen to everything from country, to rock, to alternative, to rap. I enjoy live shows and sporting events most of all. I don't really watch much TV or than sports.
I like doing things outdoors. I enjoy golfing, archery, and going to a beachside bar with friends for some daytime drinking. I'd love to do some hiking & mountain biking, but Florida doesn't offer much of the sort. Looking forward to trying it.
The last books I read were the "Hunger Game" series. I actually really enjoyed them...Don't judge me! But, my favorite book of all time is "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. I haven't read it in years, but thinking about reading it again.

This is the first toning lotion I have ever used and it is soo gentle considering I have very sensitive skin would definitley recommend this product for people with sensitive skin.
I LOVE this toner- not to expensive. Gentle but effective. It's the only one I use now.
Lovely and gentle. I have very sensitive, dry skin and find this is very kind to my skin and even is ok on my eyes. Will remove any remains of make up after cleansing.
Always arrives quickly and well packaged
Correspondence is always good with regards to orders and deliveries, even on a late delivery, vouchers in my box were out of date and would have preferred 10% reduction on the late delivery as opposed to on a future purchase.
Great service.
Perfect for running over face and eyes-effective yet gentle even on sensitive skin.
I did not realise that this product contained alcohol otherwise I would not have purchased it.
I haven't used a NUXE product yet which is less than excellent
The first time I have used this toner. It is gentle on the skin - even around the eyes, does what it is supposed to and smells lovely.
Was as good as I expected but still good.
Wonderful gentle toner.
Great site to get all your beauty fixes in one place. Next day delivery when you have left it late - perfect!

A lovely location in an evocative courtyard and live music played every night make this a favorite with tourists and locals alike. Most come for the chiles en nogada (poblano peppers with a creamy walnut sauce) with pomegranate seeds sprinkled on top. The pechuga rellena de elote y mango (chicken breast stuffed with corn and mango) is also popular. There's a nice list of local liquors.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT IN SMA! I don't mind paying a good price if all adds up. But this place is way overrated and doesn't deserve it! My mom & I had dinner there mid-week. Yes it's a beautiful setting and the food was good. BUT the service was horrible! the waiter took our order, brought the wine & poured it, then brought the food. then the runner cleared the plates, that was it. Not one question of how is it, would you like anything else, much
less, refilling the glasses when serving the meal. Nothing, nothing. BTW, we did not drink the cheapest bottle of wine. well, we didn't leave one peso tip and they will never see us again. And all who care to hear it will get a bad review on this place.

This restaurant serves very high quality food in a very pleasant setting. Delores Del Rio, the famous Mexican actress is the original owner and is still in her family. The murals are delightful as is the jardin! Don't miss this one.

38 year old man | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking men 29-46 within 100 miles
Looking for friends and eventually more.
I am a professional, very friendly guy seeking another guy who is caring, stable, and looking for something more substantial. I would like to find new friends and see what develops from there. I am hoping to find a guy looking for the same. I am not into the bar scene, but don't mind going out from time to time. If I do go out, I prefer to go to a place where I can actually talk to the person I am with instead of having to yell over the music. I much rather have a low-key evening with friends than going out to a bar or club for the night. My friends and family are extremely important to me. I am a very loyal friend and many of my friends come to me for advice. I am not judgemental towards anyone and always find the good in other people. I hope people see that in me as well. While I am very laid back, I have no issues expressing how I feel. My faith is also very important to me and an integral part of my life. If a relationship were to develop, it would need to be a huge part of his life as well. I love to travel and explore different cities and countries. I have been to many places all over the world and I hope to never stop exploring. I also love wine and love to travel to California to explore vineyards whenever possible. I am a beach guy as well. I love flying to South Florida or Mexico for a long weekend several times a year. A travel companion would be nice. I also love to cook. Over the last couple of months, I have really gotten into the Paleo way of cooking and really like it. I have been trying to be a lot more intentional about living a healthier lifestyle over the last few months. My last job was overly demanding and I took my health for granted. Since leaving that role, I have been focused on being a better me - physically, mentally, and spiritually. I know I have left many things out. If you want to know anything else, please feel free to ask. I will respond to all messages. Please show the same courtesy, even if just to say not interested. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

I really enjoy spending time with friends whenever possible. I am a very hospitable person and enjoy having friends over for dinner and drinks. I also love to travel whenever time allows me to do so.
I am not an avid reader by any means. Generally, I read anything that has to do with current events or my profession.

Cam chain issues
Here is a little more on what I've learned about the NX250 cam chain & automatic cam chain tensioner over and above what I detailed in post #4965....
Remove the tensioner and retract the plunger about 3/16" by turning the adjuster clockwise. Hold the plunger firmly in. Place the tensioner (plunger side down) on a bench. Place a 1/2" drive 1" impact socket over the outside (outside is now facing up) portion of the tensioner. Observe how the plunger remains retracted with the weight of the socket. Now do the same test with the socket as a test weight, but retract the plunger close to its most retracted position by turning the adjuster clockwise. You will notice that the plunger spring tension easily overcomes the weight of the socket and the plunger extends.
This test makes clear that the pressure exerted by the plunger depends on the position of the plunger. A more retracted position (new chain) will apply more pressure to the tensioner guide and thus the chain runs with less slack (less noise). A high-mileage worn chain will receive less pressure and will likely whip around and damage the inside of the cam chain cavity or at best will make a lot of unpleasant noise.
I also discovered a few idiosyncrasies about high-mileage NX250 automatic cam chain tensioners (and I think this has already been discussed). The adjuster wants to rotate clockwise (making the chain more loose) in an oscillatory manor during actual running conditions. As soon as I witnessed this behavior, I knew that I had only two options. I would have to buy a new chain and tensioner, or I would need to try the adjuster lock bolt solution mentioned in this thread. I tried the lock bolt, but I discovered that a rough ridge on the end of the bolt was attempting to turn the adjuster clockwise due to friction when I tightened it. I filed the end of the bolt smooth and tried again with a little grease on the end of the bolt for extra insurance. Problem solved.
The next problem was the fact that I needed to know how far to run the lock bolt in. Not enough, and it wont do anything to help the adjuster, Too much and it could break the tensioner housing. It turns out that (at least on my tensioner) the correct amount to thread in the lock bolt is from 1/2 turn to 3/4 turn after first contact with the end of the adjuster. At that point, the plunger is extended outward to its stop, but does not push out with enough force to break the housing. Once you reach a little less than 1/2 turn, pay
close attention to a sudden increase in force required to turn the lock bolt. You really need to be paying attention at this point. When you get the bolt right, tighten the jam nut down onto the original aluminum sealing washer (I used a regular washer to protect the sealing washer from the jam nut).
So here is the tensioning procedure I used on this high-mileage chain:
Adjusted the tensioner according to the service manual.
Started the motor with the short stock sealing bolt & washer left out.
Used a 1/4" drive spin handle, 6" !/4" drive extension, 1/4" drive universal, 1/4" deep well socket, and a small #4 slotted head screw bit to reach the tensioner adjuster (a magnet inside the socket will keep the bit from wandering off).
Turned the adjuster just
clockwise to get accustomed to the noise resulting from excess cam chain whip.
Turned the adjuster counter-clockwise
enough to stop the sound of chain whip.
Stopped the engine while making sure to hold onto that adjuster setting (remember,a high-mileage adjuster is dancing all over the place).
Ran in the locking bolt and tightened the jam nut as described earlier.
Problem solved (for now).
One thing should be made clear after all of this. I do not think it is a good idea at all to insist on using and old chain and adjuster like I did. Go buy yourself new parts and do the job correctly. You'll have no retarded cam issues and your cam train will be far more reliable, not to mention, you won't have to worry about the chain chewing through from the inside.
Take care....

Boutwell Memorial Auditorium
Boutwell Memorial Auditorium is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Birmingham, Alabama. It was built in 1924 as Birmingham's Municipal Auditorium, on a site near City Hall, facing Capitol Park (now Linn Park).
The building was designed by Thomas W. Lamb, working with a committee of local architects. A later renovation added to the lobby and meeting room space in front of the brick facade, giving the street view of the auditorium a decidedly modernist marble, aluminum and glass look. The auditorium was renamed for Mayor Albert Boutwell. The auditorium remains the property of the city. It was home to the Birmingham Power basketball team.
Master plans for the future of the Birmingham Museum of Art, which adjoins Boutwell Auditorium, have included expanding onto its current site.
The interior of the facility includes seating in a horseshoe shape with a stage at the end opposite a balcony. The venue is multipurpose and can be configured to suit athletic events, theatre, and other small events.

The 2006 Tablas Creek Vineyard Grenache is Tablas Creek's first varietal bottling of the most widely planted grape in the Rhone Valley. The wine shows the bright fruit and spice, medium body and tangy acidity of the Grenache Noir grape.
We use most of our Grenache in our Esprit de Beaucastel and Côtes de Tablas blends each year. However, we feel that this is a grape whose bright fruit, spice and acidity lends itself well to bottling as a single-varietal wine as well. In addition, Grenache seems to improve more dramatically with vine age than any other grape we grow, and we have been increasingly impressed with its performance in Paso Robles the last few years, culminating in this year's single-varietal bottling.
Our Grenache grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2006 vintage was a study of contrasts, with a cold, wet start, a very hot early summer, a cool late summer and a warm, beautiful fall. Late winter rainfall gave the grapevines ample groundwater, and produced relatively generous crop sizes. The moderate late-season temperatures resulted in a delayed but unhurried harvest, wines with strong varietal character, noteworthy elegance and good acids. The Grenache harvest began October 4th and continued through October.
The Grenache grapes were destemmed and then fermented using native yeasts in closed stainless steel tanks. After three weeks, they were pressed and moved to 1200-gallon foudres to complete their fermentation. The Grenache lots were blended in June of 2007, when we added 10% Syrah to give a touch of black fruit and mineral to the wine. It was aged for an additional year in a 1200-gallon foudres and bottled in June 2008. The wine underwent only a light filtration before bottling, and should be expected to throw a sediment over time.
The 2006 Grenache displays a bright, juicy nose of cherry, plum, licorice and black tea, medium body with notable elegance, and a vibrant, spicy finish that turns a touch darker and firmer at the end.

Join us for this vertical tasting of every vintage of En Gobelet, from the 2007 to the newly-blended 2014. We'll also offer, before the tasting, an optional hike led by Viticulturist Levi Glenn through the rugged Scruffy Hill block from which we source most of the wine, and finish with a picnic lunch on our patio. $60 for wine club members and $75 for guests. Reservations are essential; we expect this to sell out. To reserve, email us at email@example.com or call us at 805.237.1231 ext 30. Details & More Events »

ATLANTA - A solar cell manufacturer is relocating to Norcross from Atlanta, encouraged by $10 million worth of incentives.John Baumstark, Suniva Inc.'s CEO, said the company will bring about 100 high wage jobs during its first year in Norcross, as well as a capital investment of about $75 million. It's the state's first manufacturer of solar cells, Gov. Sonny Perdue said. The company accepted $10 million in state, county and city incentives offered through a joint effort by Partnership Gwinnett and the Gwinnett and Metro Atlanta Chambers of Commerce, Perdue said. Suniva will pay no city, county, state or school taxes its first year, under the terms of the abatement, of which Gwinnett's portion is $4.8 million. Suniva will begin paying taxes its second year in Norcross and will add a percentage to the amount it pays until the 11th year, when it will pay its full share of property taxes, said Nick Masino, the Gwinnett Chamber's vice president for economic development. Norcross City Manager Warren Hutmacher did not immediately return calls requesting the dollar amount of Norcross' portion of the tax abatement. The cost is worth it to bring Suniva into the city, Mayor Bucky Johnson said. "Their CEOs and that level of pay will bring money to the city, into our restaurants, our hotels," Johnson said. "Maybe they will buy houses." Suniva was founded by Ajeet Rohatgi at the Georgia Institute of Technology's University Center of Excellence in Photovoltaics. Perdue said the move was an effort to retain homegrown Georgia companies and to attract more "green collar" jobs to the state. The cells that Suniva manufactures could be used to gather sunlight that would power a car, Baumstark said. As the cost of gas soars, Perdue called solar energy a "micro solution to a macro problem. "It's an example of using what we are good at," Perdue said. "We are well blessed with sun."

From the Publisher"The publications of Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France have given us an incredible view of the development of his thinking. This new volume, The Government of Self and Others, shows us how Foucault was conceiving the relation between the self and the others who make up the political, how fearless speech (parrēsia) is at the center of both, and how parrēsia defines, for Foucault, philosophical action itself. Thanks to these lectures, we see Foucault as the great thinker he is."
- Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State University, USA.
"The publication of Foucault's lectures is momentous not only because they deepen our understanding of his books and essays, but because they dramatically change the way we read him. This study of the ancient practice of parresia ... philosophical truth-telling ... forces us to abandon the view that his late thought was a turn away from politics.
The key question in these lectures is the relationship between philosophy and politics: their necessary dependence, but impossible coincidence. The political significance of philosophy was an acute problem for Foucault throughout his life. It remains a definitive question today for anyone concerned with the future of Western political thought and practice."
- Johanna Oksala, University of Dundee, UK.
"The Government of Self and Others is a fascinating analysis of a notion which is at the center of the philosophical and political enterprise and is highly recommended for specialist and non-specialist scholars alike."
- Christopher Forlini, Free University Berlin, Germany.

Wena Homestay
Hot water and free WiFi
What we say:
The value to be found at Wena Homestay is absolutely astonishing and anyone on a budget would do well by settling in here. Rooms are big, bright and airy, but very basic and feature bamboo beds and hot water bathrooms. They're well-cleaned and are situated within a quaint family compound, which is home to a few family pets as well. If this wasn't enough of a good deal, the homestay also includes free use of WiFi although there are reports that the family must reset it every now and then due to reliability issues. With hot water and free WiFi, this place is a steal despite being at the basic end of the accommodation scale in Ubud.
