Mock draft has Dallas taking defensive lineman
The latest mock draft from Pro Football Weekly Analyst Nolan Nawrocki has the Cowboys using the ninth overall pick to select Alabama underclassman defensive lineman Marcell Dareus. "Jerry Jones is a value-driven decision maker who has loaded his roster with talent by selecting the best player available," Nawrocki writes. "If Dareus happens to fall to […] [Read More]

Plans are in place for the Cowboys to gather for unsupervised workouts during the lockout, linebacker Keith Brooking told a Dallas radio station.

Could Peterson fall to Cowboys at No. 9?
My friend Rob Phillips over at DallasCowboys.com wrote an interesting blog item about the possibility that skill players Cam Newton, Blaine Gabbert, A.J. Green and possibly even Julio Jones could push a top defensive prospect to the Cowboys at No. 9. "Say Marcell Dareus and Von Miller go top 5," Rob wrote. "Well, Patrick Peterson, […] [Read More]
Tight end hopes Kitna will get a chance to compete with Romo
Since becoming the starter in 2006, QB Tony Romo has etched his named in the Cowboys' record book several times and earned three trips to the Pro Bowl. But that doesn't mean Jason Garrett should automatically hand Romo the starter's job whenever the lockout ends. At least that's what TE Martellus Bennett suggested Tuesday in an interview with […] [Read More]
Cowboys coaches at USC pro day
Offensive tackle Tyron Smith solidified his standing as a potential top-15 draft pick with a strong showing Wednesday at USC's Pro Day. Smith's weight is up to 310 pounds on his 6-foot-5 frame after he played most of last season at 285 pounds. Despite the weight gain, he showed no signs of decreased agility. According […] [Read More]
Is Dez worried about his alma mater?
The adviser for embattled Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant says Bryant is in a "dark place" after three lawsuits surfaced against him this week.

Cowboys receiver faces second lawsuit
It's an understatement to say that these are tough times for Dez Bryant.

Season 9 *Spoiler Lab* Discussions P3
You Have Entered The Spoiler Lab, STOP Or Be Spoiled!
Part 1, Part 2
Welcome To Season 9!!! Just like last seasons Spoiler Lab, Myself & TallyHo ask that you read, remember and respect the following regarding this thread.
This thread is for the discussions, opinions regarding the future "episodes, story-lines and character spoilers as it relates to the current season in the US." This thread has nothing to do with the actor/actresses themselves, ship discussions in general, or past episodes each of these have their own respective threads and or forum. Some comparisons to past eps is fine, as long as it follows the line of your current discussion but don't let it dominate.
We need to keep in mind so that we may maintain a balance in this and future lab threads, where the bickering, arguing and snarky comments are kept to a minimum or out altogether. Telling someone to "not watch the show if they don't like something" that is actually rude, flip side telling someone they cannot discuss a scene that pertains to an ep is also rude.
If a person puts in a valid point as to why they dislike it that is one thing, the "I hate [whatever]" or the "Squee I love [whatever]" only comments, are not valid points, add substance to why you like or dislike it would be more appropriate. (this is also meant for characters, ships, etc) all arguing and uncontrolled fighting does is waste energy and take time away from the discussions, no one thing should dominate this discussion thread other then getting the spoilers and discussing them rationally. Ignoring the baiting and negative commentary is precisely what is expected of those wishing to participate in this thread and Forum. If one cannot do so then a time out and away is probably the best thing all the way around until one is able to do the necessary.
Okay we know the rules were too long before so we have decided to tweak them in such away that it should be easier.
What Should I Know About Spoilers?
Code Boxes:
Not needed in here this already has the warning in the title and post, any other thread not clearly marked with said warning is where those are used, lightly please alot of people avoid spoilers lets respect that wish if possible.
Episode Names & Major Spoilers:
List the name of the spoiler ep you are giving or just discussing to avoid confusion. Spoilers are subject to changes and should only be considered as a guide to what could be happening in that episode, and not what will happen.
Not everyone wants to know the entire episode, (ie how it may end, ect) while we like to hear what it is about, hints to what might happen, lets not go farther then that, leave some surprises.
Copyrights, Sites, Vids & Pics:
Posting a spoiler word for word (or lines as well) is not allowed, we ask that you put it in a short summery of you're own words.
-Some places preferre that you not link to them for the spoilers and some places like 'sides' & 'SpoilerTv' that you are not allowed to mention or link to please be mindful of this. If asked to cite you're source contact myself or TallyHo for help. Copyright violations will be edited and or removed.
-Be mindful of the 'Video' rules located in the "Help Guide" on what places are allowed by this site.
-Pictures: There is already a thread for future episodes please contain all pictures to that thread.
Shipper/ships discussions:
The only time any ship discussion is allowed in here is when it pertains to said ep, ship or scene, should the ep not contain a ship moment then it does not belong in this thread or forum, but rather in the "Shipper Central" forum.
What should I know about this thread in General?
Stay On Topic:
As it says there try to stay on topic of this thread, veering off happens and that is fine as long as it doesn't go overboard, if it does we will let you know.
Opinions & Arguments:
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to disagree with the opinions, your not entitled to attack someone for having the opinion, this is NOT a debate thread for which you can argue about things. Sometimes opinions might rile some which can lead to arguments to uncontrolled debates or outright flaming. The best thing to do is to take a deep breath, calm down, back away and agree to disagree and let it go, you really are not getting anywhere so why continue all that will get you is a gentle reminder or an official warning. Be mindful that if you are not involved in any argument don't jump in it only makes it worse, contact Myself or Tally via PM or click the NM (Notify Mod) Button.
EP Threads:
IF there is already a discussion thread up for an ep (by you moderators), please discuss that ep in that thread, as this is for Future eps, not yet aired. -- This is for LV Only! Any Spoilers for Miami, and New york belong in their respective forums and not in here if they are found in here they will be removed.
Lastly About the Mods:
Myself and TallyHo are asking for your cooperation in all this, we are not out to scare people or ruin the fun, we like fun, but at the same time we are trying to keep the balance, atmosphere and rules of the board intact and the thread inviting, like a comfy home, there will be some problems we know it, but if we come in in "Mod mode" we would appreciate not being ignored or having attitudes copped. You also know that if you need to you can always PM us and we will try to help you.
-Please remember, we reserve the right to update/change any of the above, remember the board rules, and reminders. Have fun.
~May Peace, Light & Love Be With You!~

Just FYI, as posted in Spoiler Lab Part 2, we are actually already on episode 192 as of "One to Go". So, if William does come back for the 200th episode, then we would see him back on around March/April. Still, two months doesn't seem like much in CSI world. I feel like maybe it should be longer for dramatic purposes. But, who knows, just a thought.

All across the Western U.S., our last remaining herds of wild horses are being violently rounded up by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and forced into government holding pens. These horses are supposedly put up for adoption, but few are actually adopted into long-term homes. Most are warehoused or end up being shipped to Canada or Mexico for slaughter.
According to federal officials, the roundups are necessary because the land is overpopulated by wild horses and could become uninhabitable to other wildlife. The truth is that BLM has leased millions of acres of the wild-horse and burro rangelands to cattle interests. The land, which was mandated in 10 states for America's wild horses and burros by the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act of 1971, is now being grazed by 7 million head of cattle. The cattle are eating all the forage and drinking up the scarce water supply, and the wild horses are being blamed and forced out of their homes.
I have a special affection for wild horses not only because they are fellow vegetarians but also because they represent freedom and the wild spirit within all of us. I have written to my legislators and the BLM to demand that they stop the wild-horse roundups in Nevada, Montana, and Utah. I donate to horse rescue groups and sanctuaries, but unfortunately, providing sanctuary for horses is very expensive. Most of the sanctuaries are already stretched past their limit.
I am afraid that the only way that the wild-horse herds will survive is if the market for beef dries up. As long as there is a demand for beef, the interests of the cattle ranchers will override the interests of the wild horses, and the horses will have nowhere to live and no range to call their own. When all is said and done, the only real solution to the problem is to convince people to stop eating cows.
Please add your voice to mine and e-mail the BLM at email@example.com to let the agency know that the survival of wild horses on their native lands must take precedent over cattle grazing.

0-for-36 Should Say Enough
by Paul on 03/09/13 at 08:54 PM ET
Comments (5)
Detroit fans probably have that number embedded in their brains by now...
from Anshar Khan of Mlive,
The Detroit Red Wings play 14 of their final 23 games on the road and need to win a fair share of them to get into the playoffs.
They're going to need a contribution from their power play. They haven't gotten it yet.
Following Saturday's 3-0 loss at Columbus, the Red Wings are 0-for-36 on the power play in 10 road games. They are the only club that hasn't converted on the man-advantage away from home.
They have the personnel. They've shown that at home, where they rank ninth in the NHL at 22.6 percent (14-of-62).

George picked a good day to deal with a computer issue with his new laptop so you have me with this recap.
I am going to make like Mike Babcock during his first period timeout and say nothing.
That's it, I have nothing to say about this game but on the other hand you may have a lot to talk about, so the floor is yours.

Red Wings-Blue Jackets set-up and overnight report: second half begins; Griffins win 'Purple Game'
by George Malik on 03/09/13 at 04:12 AM ET
Comments (6)
The Detroit Red Wings begin the second half of their 48-games-in-99-nights demolition derby with a pair of games against the Columbus Blue Jackets today (2 PM EST, FSD/FS Ohio/97.1 FM) and tomorrow (5 PM EDT--yeah, spring forward, bleh--FSD/FS Ohio/AM 1270), and the Wings spent Friday's post-practice media availability suggesting that, all things considered, they're happy with the way the 2013 season's gone thus far.
Heading into game 25, the Wings possess a 12-8-and-4 record--essentially, they're at .500--and their 28 points are good for 4th in the Western Conference, likely the highest spot they can possibly finish given the Chicago Blackhawks' first-half record.
For all the Wings' dominant play of late, Thursday's 3-0 win over Edmonton and Tuesday's 2-1 win over Colorado included, the Wings flew to Columbus separated from the 15th-place Blue Jackets by all of 8 points, and the 9th and 10th-place Phoenix Coyotes and Nashville Predators have 25 points.

Red Wings' Niklas Kronwall tells Craig Custance why the NHLPA accepted NHL's realignment proposal
by George Malik on 03/08/13 at 01:28 PM ET
Comments (1)
Very interesting stuff: Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall spoke to ESPN's Craig Custance for an ESPN Insider blog entry, and the Red Wings' NHLPA player representative told Custance that the NHL provided the PA with multiple mock schedules which illustrated the travel teams would have to face, satisfying the players at least to the point that they chose to consent to the league's plan for two seasons:
"Compared to last year, they didn't have anything really mocked up. That was our concern. If [travel] is not going to get much worse, how much worse is it going to be? It was hard to make a call without seeing any numbers whatsoever," Kronwall said when we chatted following Detroit's win over Edmonton on Thursday night. "This time around we did get to see some numbers. It felt like the league wanted to work with the PA on a completely different level. It wasn't just, 'Here it is, take it or leave it."
And in very deliberate Donald Fehr-type fashion, the players took it, reviewed it and gave every player an opportunity to have their say through conference calls with player reps. Along the way, they found a counter-argument to the notion that the West has a playoff advantage.
"People were saying that well maybe in the East maybe you'll have a little bit easier schedule," Kronwall said. "That would make up for the advantage."
Kronwall also told Custance that the NHLPA hopes to convince the owners that shutting down the season and placing players at risk to take part in the 2014 Olympics in Sochi is worth their time, headaches involving the International Olympic Committee and the IIHF included:

More about 'Hockey Night in Brighton'
by George Malik on 03/08/13 at 08:09 AM ET
Comments (0)
Winging it in Motown's Josh Howard promoted an event in which the Red Wings Alumni Association will play a group of amateurs representing the Well Church in Brighton, Michigan this Saturday at 6:30 PM (conveniently taking place after the Wings-Blue Jackets game, which starts at 2 PM), and the Daily Press & Argus's Tim Robinson spoke to one of the event's organizers about the game--and the fact that three NHL trophies will be in attendance as well:
"It's pretty lighthearted," said Scott DesAutel, one of the organizers, and players, in the event. "It'll be a lot of fun. It's almost like the Harlem Globetrotters."
In the past, notable Wings alumni have included Joe Kocur and Mickey Redmond, although neither is available this weekend. The game will be played in two 20-minute periods, with fans having the chance to get autographs from the alumni and have their pictures taken with the Calder, Norris and Lady Byng trophies and get a 4-by-6 inch photo printed to mark the occasion.
"Our motto is, 'It's much more than a hockey game,'" DesAutel said. "We try to stress that. We have 17 players on our team who enjoy playing hockey and coming together as a group, but we want to use our love for our community in a positive manner. We stress healing the people around us, and that's what the game is really about, more than just our going out there and playing."
Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. A VIP dinner and auction after the game will be held at American Spirit Centre, on Grand River in Brighton. Tickets for the auction-dinner are $40 and are available online at www.thewellmi.com.
DesAutel's hoping to have a bigger piece of hardware visit the rink next year:

Red Wings-Oilers wrap-up: at the halfway point, Wings find grit, secondary scoring and defense
by George Malik on 03/08/13 at 04:16 AM ET
Comments (13)
"What a difference a couple of days make" might be the theme of this abbreviated 48-games-in-99-nights season, and the Red Wings have certainly learned as much. After dropping 5 straight games, the Wings have won five of their past seven games, including a 2-1 win over Colorado on Tuesday and Thursday night's 3-0 win over Edmonton.
With 24 games in the books, the Wings sit in 4th place in the Western Conference with 28 points, tied with the Vancouver Canucks, and all seems well...But even the 13th-place Oilers sit only 7 points behind the Wings, and Saturday's opponent, the 15th-place Columbus Blue Jackets, could make up a significant chunk of their 8-point deficit on the Wings by sweeping this weekend's back-to-back games (at 2 PM in Columbus on Saturday and 5 PM in Detroit on Sunday).
The Blue Jackets have won two striaght games, too, including a 2-1 overtime decision over Vancouver on Thursday (in which they lost Derek Dorsett for the season due to a collarbone injury), but that story's for...Later today? Oh, right, it's that 48-games-in-99-nights demolition derby, and the only thing that's certain is that teams have to move on from their wins and losses in a hurry, or they'll be losing their next game if they don't stay in the moment.

Happy Canada Thanksgiving!
Ever have a lot of leftover vegetables from the night before and you are unsure what to do with them? Happens from time to time and I usually create a vegetable hash, veggie cakes or a vegetable puree but today I wanted to share something slightly different. Although this concoction is similar to a hash with the addition of a very special ingredient. Eggs. I love eggs and definitely could eat them everyday.
This recipe is super easy and really has no boundaries. A quick way to use leftover food from a previous meal and also an excellent way to kick start your day with energy. Add whatever else you may have on hand in this such as bacon, sausage, parsley or peppers – you name it. No boundary breakfast.
- 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
- Leftover smashed potatoes
- Leftover grilled carrots
- Leftover grilled corn
- 4 Eggs
- Tomatoes
- Whole Wheat Bread
- Salt
- Pepper
- Preheat saute pan over medium heat.
- Add oil and potatoes and begin cooking through. Toss in carrots and corn and continue to saute. Once heated through, create a couple of holes in the pan for your eggs
- Crack two eggs in each hole you create and let cook sunny side up.
- Cook until eggs are complete, season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with whole wheat toast and some fresh tomato slices.
Zesty Tip: A little sauce goes really well with this dish. Sometimes I mix together ketchup, hot sauce and some barbecue sauce and serve on the side to dip into. You can pour it on top if you really love it.
I am on the road this week to Virginia however I will be continuing to catch up on the consulting side and posting on my normal days this week. I hope you have a great start to your week and I will touch base with you on Wednesday.
Take care

Can I backup data on a network drive onto my firewire HDD with Time Machine?
Hello, everyone.
I'm a Mac newbie and looking for your help to utilize this Time Machine application. Currently, I'm trying to backup my files on a network disk onto the designated disk for Time Machine, of course it's a physical external HDD, but it seems like Time Machine wouldn't let me do that.
I can find tons of postings about the way to backup files onto a network drive using Time Machine, but not my case.
Any technical advice for me?
I am a tad confused here. I understand that you want to make use of Time Machine I am a bit unclear about the drive that you want to use. You mentioned backing up to a network. What exactly is the drive connected to? If it is an external drive connected to something like an Airport or Time Capsule that can be done.
Thank you for the reply, Slydude. I'm trying to backup my files on a network drive to my external HDD using Time Machine, and the network drive is on my web hosting server. Of course, the web hosting company provides me with a pretty reliable backup solution, but it is not an automated system, so I have to do it by myself every morning.
Anyway, my question is
Can Time Machine backup files on a network disk, which is mounted on my Mac, to my external HDD?

Temples in kanchipuram
are torchbearers of the glorious heritage of the Kanchipuram
District and are repositories of the magnificient art forms that
evolved over several centuries.
Sri Ekambareswara Temple
most famous Siva temple at Kanchi is the Ekambareswara temple. The
dimensions of this temple are reflected in its 20 - acre spread and
its tall south gopuram which soars to a height of 58.5m.
Sri Kailasanathar Temple
Kailasnathar Temple is built by the Pallava Dynasty during the first
quarter of the eighth century. The temple is built of red sandstone
and has innumerable carvings of Pallva art, of which the Urdhva
Thandava dance of Siva and the laughing face of Parvathi are worth
seeing. The architechture of this temple resembles the shore temple
at Mamallapuram
Sri Vardaraja Perumal Temple
The centre of attraction in Vishnu Kanchi is the
temple of varadarajaswamy situated on the top of Hastigiri or
Elephant Hill.The Vijayanagar kings constructed this temple. The
whole temple covers an area of about 23 acres. The sculptural beauty
of the pillars is amazing. Ornamental rings carved out of single
stone at the Four Corners of the mandapam in the form of a chain are
a delightful spectacle.
Sri Kamakshiamman Temple
Kanchi is sacred as one of the three Sakti peethas of
India. Kamakshi is said to be the Supergoddess, Parasakti, having
Saraswati, Lakshmi and Parvati as her eyes. She blesses all that
dedicate themselves to her. The sanctum sanctorum faces southeast in
the centre of Gayatri Mandapam. The tradition says that there was a
delightful grove of Champaka trees around the main temple now known
as Gayatri Mandaparn.
Sri Ulagalandar Temple
This vaishnava Temple was bulit in chola
period .The main deity of this temple is 35 feet high and 24 feet
wide posing with one foot on earth and the other on the sky. This
form is called Trivikrama.This temple is one of the 108 Divya
Desam's of Lord Vishnu.
Sri Vaikunda Perumal Temple
This temple is built by The Pallava ruler, Nandivarman in the
seventh century AD.Sri
Vaikunda Perumal temple is famous for its architecture. The Lord
is in the sitting posture. The Goddess is known as Sri
Vaikunthavalli Tayar. It has great sculptures and inscription which
speak of its history and the history of the city itself. Its inner
walls are decorated with lion shaped pillars.
Sri kacchapaeswarar Temple
Eswarar temple was built by pallava Dynasty.In this temple, siva
appears as being worshipped by vishnu in the form of turtle (kurmemerali)."Kacchapam"
is a Sanskrit word for "Turtle".hence the name "Kacchapa Eswarar
Temple" .
Sri Vijayaraghava Perumal Temple
This temple of
Vijayaraghava Perumal is one of the 108 Divyadesams where Lord
Rama is said to have performed the funeral rites for Jatayu, the
giant bird which valiantly fought to prevent Ravana from abducting
Sita, the wife of Lord Rama to Lanka.
Jain Temples at Tirupparuthikkundram
Kanchipuram is an important landmark in
the history of the Jains. Many of the Pallava kings belonged to
Jainism.The temples of the Jaina Tirthankaras were built in the
Ninth Century A.D. The temples contain several fresco paintings and
a grand image of Bhagwan Mahaveer.
Sri Subramaniya Swami Temple
Subramaniya swami temple was built around 1915. For Hindus on a
pilgrimage trip, this temple is a mandatory place to visit. It gains

Oklahoma Immigration Law Scares Employers
We have heard much lately -- including on this blog -- about the new Arizona employer sanctions law that went into effect on January 1. Emily Bazar in USA Today discusses the new Oklahoma law, which in some ways is broader than a controversial Arizona law that suspends or revokes business licenses of employers who knowingly hire undocumented immigrants. Challenges to the law have been dismissed. Among other things, the Oklahoma law makes it a felony to transport or shelter illegal immigrants and denies illegal immigrants driver's licenses and public benefits such as rental assistance and fuel subsidies. Many business owners are especially nervous about provisions of teh law to go into effect on July 1, when employers with government contracts must start checking new hires against a federal database to make sure they are legally eligible to work.

Sipping hot cocoa by a warm fire on Christmas won't be as far fetched as it seemed over the warm weekend in the Lowcountry. While it remains a bit warm today, temperatures are expected to get colder by Wednesday, according to forecasters with the National Weather Service.
Today, rain is expected, mainly in the afternoon, with a 100 percent chance.
More rain may come Tuesday, but temperatures begin cooling with highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 20s.
But the skies are expected to clear by Christmas on Wednesday with sunny skies and high temperatures in the lower 50s and lows in the 30s.
Thursday night, there's a 20 percent chance of rain. The rest of the weekend is expected to be sunny with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s.

Dr Veronica McCauley Ph.D, B.Sc
Contact Details
Veronica McCauley, PhD is a lecturer in science education at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Her primary degree is in science education, which instigated doctoral research in the areas of self-directed and technology-based learning. Within the sphere of science education, she has carried out research in initial teacher education, interactive learning environments, mentoring, STEM outreach activities and the effective use of technology in teaching and learning at the University of Limerick (Ireland), Harvard University (Cambridge, USA) and at the National University of Ireland, Galway (Ireland).
Veronica is involved in a number of current research projects relating to the effective use of technology in the science classroom, in particular in the area of marine biology and physics education. This research has grown from the recent publication of a Sci-Hook series published in the i-Bookstore. In terms of STEM outreach and engagement, Veronica was one of the core organisers of the first STEM outreach conference in Ireland (2007) and several after, which brought together key stakeholders from across Ireland, the UK and Europe to inform STEM communication within Ireland and to discuss and debate best practice and evaluation. Following on from this, recent publications have drawn upon research in the third space, between science outreach and education, in an effort to explore pedagogical practices both in primary & second level science education and in STEM outreach activities.

Just another case of Payton overthinking again. (Remember Carney). Has he never heard the expression, "If its not broken don't fix it"? Why put deep snapping duties in the hands of a defensive lineman coming of a major injury (Ninkovich) or a 14 yrs veteran (Kyle)? If Kyle does win the job you will be looking again in year or two. And why not let Houser compete for the job? WHY?

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Bird Scarer Wind Sock:
I bought 6 of them to hang up around the house to keep the woodpeckers from making big holes in my cedar siding. I heard that the silver reflection keeps them away. The back doesn't have silver on it. It' has multiply colors, so when it did blow in the wind, all the silver color didn't show. I spent hours putting them up, because I had to climb up on a10' high ladder to screw in hooks to hang them on. I used those coffee hooks. It's best to bend the hooks closed or any high winds will blow them off & you'll have to bring the ladder back out & put them up again. You also have to hang them up high enough, since they're so long. They only needed to be 1/2 the length for them to be effective. You might want to cut them shorter, depending how high you have to hang them from. I had to put them on the top edge of the outer side of the roof that goes out further from the wall, otherwise, you'd have to screw in long brackets to hang it onto, so it keeps it away from the wall or it won't blow enough. Also, if they weren't far enough away from the cedar wood, it would get stuck to it & ripe them more. Any type of rough wall will do the same. The rain or wind kept tearing off the long strips or tear the top part & it fell to the ground. I had to design other ways to re-hook it back up & bring the ladder out yet again. I had pieces every day I was picking up off the ground or from the neighbor's yard. Now, they're all ripped & I have to climb back up once again & get the left over tops off & take the screws off. I really wish they were strong enough to withstand the wind or rain, since it's the wind that makes it blow to have the silver reflector shine. So disappointed and the hours it's taking me to deal with all the clean up these problems have created.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Put both of the bird scarer wind socks up as soon as I saw that the robins were back. They try their best to build nests in the open shed every year. The windsocks scared them away without harming them. They really work and I am very happy with the product,

Duramax LBZ and LMM P0087 Low Fuel Pressure code
Summer comes, temps rise and the working trucks with relatively high miles start to set a P0087 code and go into limp mode. I have been on the receiving end of numerous calls inquiring what to do. This has prompted me to write this Tech Tip to help explain better what we are finding.
What is happening to cause this?
The direct answer in most cases: Injectors. Simply put, the backflow or return rate is excessive so the pump does not keep up and rail pressure drops. In some cases it could be excessive demand from a performance programmer etc. so I suggest return to stock programming before troubleshooting.
How do I troubleshoot this situation?
Step one is simple: Verify system restriction. Just changing the fuel filter does not mean that the supply side restriction is OK. Lines can pinch, get blocked etc. To test, use our Fuel Filter Restriction Gauge which is a tool that every Dmax owner should carry along on the road. Supply side restriction runs normally in the 2-4" hg range on this gauge. If it is any higher than 4"hg, start with a fresh filter. If the restriction does not improve then you will need to trace lines back to tank from the filter housing and possibly open the tank to inspect the pickup assembly. Added note: Plastic housing fuel filters are cut rate leaky pieces of garbage and should never be used.
Step two: This is actually a dealer test. The dealer can use his Tech 2 scan tool to control the injection pump and increase desired rail pressure to max of 160mpa at idle. The observed actual pressure should follow desired or at least be quite close. If not then step 3 is necessary to eliminate the rail pressure relief valve as a possible leak.
Step three: Bottle test. See this document: http://www.kennedydiesel.com/docs/Shim%20mod%20Bottle%20Test%20etc.htm
Is there a work around fix?
Yes there are a couple of things that have been successful.
Lift pump
Adding a lift pump setup like my Twin Pump Deluxe Kit has helped in many cases. What this does is push fuel to the injection pump rather than making it draw the fuel from the tank. Placing the fuel under positive pressure is a good thing. This is something that I feel every Dmax should have so it is not like you are just changing parts or adding something on a whim.
ECM Programming
I have developed a tuning fix with my Kennedy Custom ECM Programming that has been shown to keep the actual fuel pressures in line with desired under load. I also alter the limp mode parameters to make the truck more useable, but have not deleted the diagnostics or the safety protection. This tuning change may prove to be more of a band aid than a fix as your injectors are still likely to be in marginal to poor condition, so only time will tell how long it will provide relief.
How do I prevent this from happening to me?
I have no guaranteed answer for you, but what I can say is that the injectors are taking a beating from running dirty, air laden fuel with poor lubricity. Testing of suspect injectors has shown backflow rates of 2x the factory spec or more. GM has issued a document PI0474 identifying excessive clearance wear caused by dirt and debris as the cause. I recommend 3 key things: Added Filtration, Lift Pump, and Quality Fuel Additive as noted in my Tech Tip Duramax Injector Failures. I can make no promises that your injectors will last forever, but something needs to be done and if dirt and debris is the cause, these items are a huge step in the right direction.

Phillies Blunt Reviews
write your own review
I have been smoking the Phillies Blunt cigar for over 20 years. It has an excellent mild taste and aroma. I have tried several other brands but for the price you cannot beat a good Phillies Blunt cigar.
I have been smoking the Phillies Blunt cigar for over 20 years. It has an excellent mild taste and aroma. I have tried several other brands but for the price you cannot beat a good Phillies Blunt cigar.
I m a mild cigar fan and have been for many decades and Phillies are my fave for many reasons. The taste from beginning to end is flawlessly wonderful, the burn is slow and stays lit, it s rolled tight and stays together from the start. It s just simply the best tasting mild cigar with a price that s all too fair. Phillies are a great addiction to have. :
This cigar provides for a very pleasant smoking experience until the smoke burns the absolute shit out of your cornea. Seriously. Do not allow the smoke from this cigar to permeate anywhere near your glassy look-holes. You will face pain and so much sadness.
I love these cigars.the best one i have to keep on hand are the Phillies blunt brown chocolate.man these things rock with a dark beer very relaxing after a long day.thanks for coming up with them and please keep manufacturing them.smoke on!
good burn, great taste, after taste3 is good enough to eat(end of stogie)
for the last month i have bought buy one get one packs at to different convinience stores and the cigars are old, dry won't draw, overpacked, and when broken in half out of frustration, almost turn to dust!!!!
Mild cigars with aggravating wrappers. Pull tabs frequently fail. Very frustrating when on the golf course and have no knife available. May have to switch brands.
After 30 years of smoking Phillies Blunts, I am disgusted with the wrappers and having to make the hole larger just so the smoke can come through!!!! What is going on???? If this keeps up, I am switching cigars!
I couldn't agree more than with what "John in Nashua, Nh" said! I truly like the cigar and have been smoking them for several years .... but the wrapper can be a real pain! It's better lately .... but still very unpredictable! As for the cigar itself, very mild, goes well with a glass .... or two .... of a good cabernet! My wife and I share many an evening on the patio winding down the day with a Phillies blunt and a glass of wine. Yes, my wife smokes cigars! She gave up cigarettes over 5 years ago when I introduced her to cigars! That's a real PLUS!
These things are a pain to get out of the wrapper.Where it has that little tab you pull to unwrap. It will go so far then it comes off without finishing completely leaving you to go get a tool to open it I got a knife and a pair of scissors to finish the job not just once but many times.Nobody give a damn about packaging. I've broken a few of these cigars just trying to get them out of the wrapper. Good smoke but lousy packaging.

Additionally, its separate living room and salon denote it as a top choice for gatherings at the same time its serene bedroom ensures a restful night's sleep.
Originally a radio station, the suite embodies the hotel's past and present. Redesigned for our most discerning guests, the suite was added onto the roof top of the hotel in 1939 as a radio station and created a mark in history as the very radio station from which President Franklin D. Roosevelt broadcast his first 'fireside chat' outside of DC.
Today, the spacious 11th floor suite offers panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape and bay, and has been refurbished to include a six-person dining area with a built-in service bar, which makes it ideal for hosting gatherings or meetings. Meanwhile classic crown molding, Empire-style furnishings, Persian rugs, and original French and Native American Indian art communicate the hotel's signature blend of classic and contemporary.
An executive desk with writing pad provides the perfect place to record the day's thoughts, while an IDD telephone and a convenient Wi-Fi connection keep guests in touch for either business or personal communication.
Imported carpets and sleek, wood flooring run throughout the suite, leading guests to the separate salon area and master bedroom.

Thoughtful details include a freestanding mirror, and iPod docking station. A second 50-inch plasma television is enclosed in custom cabinetry and automatically rises for viewing.
The master marble bathroom's infinity whirlpool bathtub offers another singular experience. Surrounded by cobalt tiles and featuring remote controlled "chromatherapy", guests can alter the color of built-in LED lights to fit---or set---the mood. Meanwhile, dual stone basin sinks and a glass-enclosed shower provide guests with comprehensive bathing options. Exclusive Elemis bath amenities, plush bathrobes and warm slippers anticipate their every need for repose.

"Distant Relatives" to debut at Nature Art Gallery March 7
Arts, Entertainment, Travel Editors. Images available.
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com; 919.707.9837
RALEIGH — As one of the most prominent married art couples in the area, Keith Norval and Anna Podris will bring their individual visions of unique explorations of paint to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in their newest exhibition, "Distant Relatives," March 7 through March 30. There will be an opening reception for the artists on First Friday, March 7 at the Nature Art Gallery from 6 to 8 p.m.
For this exhibit, the two artists decided to explore different subject matter. Norval focused on dinosaurs painted with oil on canvas – large and small –with thick paint, bright color and plenty of attitude. "I wanted to make the work really cartoony, bright and loud to emphasize the size and scale of the dinos," Norval commented. Influenced by Pop Art and underground comics, Norval's work is a hybrid of fine art, comic, street art and illustration. "These paintings are impossible to ignore — I want the dinosaurs to look like they could walk right off the canvas into the museum."
Podris' work features an aviary theme based on birds found in nature. "I am influenced by surrealism, classic literature, and expressionist painters," Podris said. "When I paint, I enter into a dream state — the hours just fly by." Since taking up encaustic, a technique that involves wax colors fixed with heat, or any process in which colors are burned in, Podris has found herself attracted to the unpredictable qualities of the medium. Abstract passages mix with fine detailed line work. "I found myself reworking passages to get the right amount of detail on these paintings.
The building up of layers of wax, scraping, incising and fusing are all very meditative activities. There is a sense with these paintings that you can look though them to see the layers buried underneath."
To prepare for the show, the artists spent hours at the Museum, perusing their selection of real-life references for the show. "I filled up one entire sketchbook with sketches just for this show," said Norval. "I had to burn half of the sketches because it was just too overwhelming — dealing with that much information."
The Nature Art Gallery is located on the top floor of the Museum Store, main building. Hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, Noon to 5 p.m.; and open until 9 p.m. on First Fridays. All exhibited art is for sale. For more information about the Nature Art Gallery, call 919.707.9854.
First Friday is a free, family-friendly, social event held the first Friday of each month at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences in downtown Raleigh. Visitors can enjoy exhibits, shopping, food and spirits until 9 p.m. The Natural Horror Picture Show (a vintage, sci-fi flick of 'B' movie caliber) begins at 7 p.m. Arrive early for live music and a film short from the A/V Geek archives. For information, call 919.707.9800.

Haiti's restavèk children: The child servitude crisis
Friday, 02 April 2010 14:32
Marian Wright Edelman
The recent earthquake in Haiti gave the rest of the world a glimpse of a form of child suffering that often goes unseen. When a group of American missionaries were accused of child trafficking, many people were confused by the story that unfolded. How could parents have been desperate enough to agree to simply give their children away to strangers? Sadly, this wasn't just an isolated event that only happened because of the earthquake. Thousands of poor Haitian parents send their children away to live with strangers every year, desperately entrusting them to people who tell the parents they will help provide their children with a better life. But not all of these children are transferred to well-meaning caregivers who plan to give them an education or help them find adoptive families. Instead, many poor Haitian children end up trapped in child servitude.

Health Care is a Fundamental Right: no repeal and replace!
Friday, 02 April 2010 13:43
Rev. Jesse Jackson
"Repeal and replace" has become the battle cry of Sarah Palin and the bulk of Republican Senators after the passage of comprehensive health care reform. They're rousing fears, threatening those with health insurance that their costs and taxes will go up; as if everyone would keep their insurance at the same costs if there were no reform.
Think again. Health care costs went up 131% over the last decade; general inflation was only 28%. If they stay on the same trajectory, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, they'll go up another 166% over the next 10 years. As the costs go up, working families lucky enough to have insurance pay higher co-pays and get less coverage.

The Black Press: A weapon in the Black freedom struggle
Monday, 29 March 2010 13:42
Dr. Ron Daniels
I was privileged to attend the Annual Conference of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA), the trade association for more than 200 newspapers in Black America. I was also honored to receive NNPA's North Star Community Service Award, which is named after the militant newspaper founded by Frederick Douglass in 1847. It was a real treat to have the opportunity to meet and interact with Black writers and publishers from around the country. As a kid I can remember being a paperboy for the Pittsburgh Courier in the Hill District of the "steel city." Every Thursday you could hear the voices of young boys hollering out "get your Pittsburgh Courrrrrrrrrier!" The few nickels and dimes I collected put some change in my pocket and enabled me to stride with a little pride. When I moved to Youngstown, Ohio, the Buckeye Review was the principal voice for the Black community. Founded by Earl B. Dickerson, this cherished news organ was passed on to McCullough Williams, Jr. and eventually Margaret Linton-Lanier. For a time I served as Advertising Director for the Buckeye Review.

A toast to the administrative state
Friday, 26 March 2010 15:11
Joseph C. Phillips
There was much laughter following the presidents signing of the health care bill. Democrats were positively giddy over having successfully secured America's decline. There were fist bumps and back slapping; the champagne flowed.
Democrats were not alone in their celebration. Republicans too shook hands with constituents and lapped up attention and praise for, let's face it, having done very little. But, hey, why let that spoil a good time? My fear is that not only will Republicans not "repeal the bill" should they take control of congress after the mid-term elections, but that in the very near future Republican candidates will also be running on promises to nurture it. Such is my confidence in the current GOP.

To the Editor: My thoughts about Special Education and the African American adolescent male.
Friday, 26 March 2010 12:53
Debra Briggs, MSW Augsburg student.
If it takes a village to raise a child, then is it feasible to come together as a community to raise our African American males who are in special education? Studies across the county and in Minnesota revealed that there is an overrepresentation of African American males in the special educational system. Legislation known as NCLB (No Child Left Behind) and IDEIA (Individual with Disabilities Education Improvement) provides resources for the success of youths with disabilities and their families.

Life after the Election
Thursday, 25 March 2010 16:45
Kenya McKnight
Life for me after this past election cycle has been an interesting process of rebuilding a more profound life step by step.
I ran for a seat on the Minneapolis City Council because of my great dissatisfaction with how our community has been treated, engaged and represented. I also wanted to explore life beyond the level I was currently at. I had been in a funk for the past two years after the death of my youngest brother prior to my run for 5th Ward City council. After his death in 2006, I lost interest in everything including my responsibilities to support my life and eventually grew very tired of the world that surrounded me. I made the choice that I needed to be refreshed and pushed to greater heights in my life and I was willing to put everything that I had into it. I had nothing to lose because I felt as if I had already hit rock bottom, so I had nowhere to go but up.

For the first time since World War II, missiles will be deployed in London to protect crowds during the Olympics.
According to Reuters, The British Ministry of Defence informed residents of an "upscale apartment development" near the Olympic Park that it plans to install a "missile battery" on the building's rooftop.
The site is one of a number around the capital the army is considering as bases for surface-to-air missiles to protect the London games from an aerial attack, the Ministry of Defence said.
It is the first time such missiles have been deployed in London since the end of World War Two, shocking some residents at the Bow Quarter housing development, sited in a converted red-brick Victorian match factory.
The defense ministry told occupants it had chosen the former water tower in the Bow Quarter complex because it offered "an excellent view of the surrounding area and the entire sky above the Olympic Park," and was "the only suitable site in this area for the HVM (High Velocity Missile) system," the report said.
"There was no consultation, no one knocked on the door," Brian Whelan, a 28-year-old journalist, told Reuters. "You just wake up one morning, there's a leaflet telling you they are going to put missiles on the roof. I can't imagine the circumstances that would require you to fire missiles over a highly populated area."
The move, included in the Games' $1.6 billion security budget, follows the precedent set by previous Olympics such as the Beijing games in 2008 where surface to air missiles were stationed a just south of the main stadiums.
