DeDuplication Engine Service PReventing logon to the server
Created: 15 Feb 2013 • Updated: 18 Feb 2013 | 3 comments
This issue has been solved. See solution.
When we boot our MMS the DeDuplication Engine Service stays "Starting" and prevents logon to the server.
We cannot stop the service, and a reboot just repeats the problem.
BackupExec 2012 and Windows 2008 Rs 64 Bit.
Discussion Filed Under:
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
The Deduplication Engine service can potentially take some time to start up, depending on the contents of your deduplication storage. If you change the service startup mode to delayed-auto, it shouldn't prevent you from logging in while the Dedupe Engine is starting.
Running this command from your Windows CLI should help:
sc config spoold start= delayed-auto
NOTE: The delayed-auto is not available on Windows 2003, but since you're running Win 2k8, you should be ok.

I'm curious as to why you feel that way. Buying Greinke would expend a tremendous amount of the available payroll for pitcher that's, IMO, really no better than several that we already have.
I don't have a problem spending big dollars on a really good pitcher for ONE year and then wait for our pitching to develop. I have a problem with making a long term commitment to that pitcher when we might be able to fill his role from within.
A_K wrote:Let's not fool ourselves. Greene is substantially better than any Orioles pitcher since Bedard. Whether signing him is a good move is another question. But he's definitely better than anything we have.
Old Sneakers wrote:Well Greinke is a proven player with a winning record, big time game

Can you identify even ONE "must win" game that Greinke has won?
Old Sneakers wrote:I don't see any of the guys on the Orioles being in the same league as Grienke.
Old Sneakers wrote:One day perhaps Bundy will become that, but that's going to be his third or fourth year in the majors. Not next season certainly. Actually, I do not know that Bundy will even be in the rotation late next year. You may not see that before 2014.
Old Sneakers wrote:Is Greinke going to be expensive? Oh yeah! You betcha. Not Justin Verlander expensive but a big payroll hit nonetheless. I also think he's likely worth it for a 3-5 year deal. You won't get a guy of this nature to do 1 year. He's proven, healthy and durable. He will get the deal he wants.
Old Sneakers wrote:When DD said we need to look for a #1 starter I assumed he meant a TOR type, not another serviceable starter in the Jeremy Guthrie mold.
Old Sneakers wrote:Again, I do not think the team makes a big push for a big name free agent this season. Despite a great season in 2012 this team has loads of room for improvement. Depth is a strength. I do not think the talent level is. The team needs at LF, 2B and 1B and the rotation was in a constant state of change all year long. The team just as easily could have won 82 games.
Old Sneakers wrote:
You can argue if it is actually "must win" but here is a great example
A_K wrote:I don't think there's any way to identify this "skill" in a pitcher who hasn't been in a large number of those situations.
ofahn wrote:
I agree. I pick pitchers I would want in big games by how confident I am in them. That comes from many small factors and how they have responded to previous pressure situations. It doesn't make any difference whether you see Greinke as a STUD or a DUD, I would NOT want him pitching a "must win" game for me.
A_K wrote:I would murder a litter of kittens to have Grienke on the mound for us in a game 7.

While his team won he gave up SIX runs in six innings. Heck, our ROOKIES didn't throw a clunker like that.

Alstom's new-generation Haliade 150 offshore wind turbine is performing the official type testing phase at the site of Le Carnet, in the Pays de Loire region (France). This follows the successful completion of the 6MW commissioning of the turbine. Two main efficiency criteria remain to be measured in the coming months: Power Performance and Power Quality Certification. The successful development of the Haliade has enabled EDF EN-led consortium, the exclusive supplier of which is Alstom, to win 3 projects in a recent tender launched by the French government. The Group will install a total of approximately 240 offshore wind turbines generating 1.4 GW of wind power off the coast of France.
The commissioning phase, a key milestone in the certification process, included a test of all Haliade 150 systems at full 6 MW nominal power. The results obtained are in accordance with the relevant calculation models and design specifications of the Haliade 150 wind turbine.
Onshore tests will continue at Le Carnet site, with the official type testing campaign providing extensive data collection to verify that the power curve and power quality characteristics meet IEC wind industry standards.
"We are enthusiastic following the initial tests of our new Haliade 150 wind turbine," stated Alstom Wind Offshore VP Frederic Hendrick, "we are particularly satisfied with the excellent Pure Torque results of the generator's air gap[1] stability, which confirms our decision to develop a turbine with no gearbox".
In addition to the onshore unit, a second turbine will be installed during the first half of 2013 at the offshore Belwind wind farm which is located near Ostend 45 km off the Belgian coast. The offshore tests will target specific marine operations and procedures and will complete the technical and product performance.
The Haliade 150 meets the stringent constraints imposed by a maritime environment. Simple, robust and efficient, this 6MW wind turbine will be able to generate enough power per unit to supply 5,000 households.[1] Inside the generator, the gap between the rotor and the stator where air circulates
We can help at all stages of your onshore or offshore wind power project

The CBS fall premiere schedule
Are you anxiously awaiting news of who was in that SUV that exploded? Still fraught with worry over how Gibbs is going to get his team back together? Or maybe you are just excited that Survivor is finally going to be beamed into your living room in glorious HD. Well, you can start making plans for your fall scheduling now. The eye network has released the schedule of premieres for their new and returning shows.
I'm a little concerned about two things on the schedule. First, The New Adventures Of Old Christine and Project Gary lead into Criminal Minds on Wednesday nights. That's an odd pairing, and I don't think bodes well for either of the comedies. And second, The Unit gets shuffled off to Sunday at 10? NCIS and The Unit have done remarkably well paired up on Tuesdays. Good for The Mentalist, not so much for The Unit. The whole thing kicks off with Survivor on September 18th. The rest of the schedule is after the jump.
September 18: Survivor: Gabon at 8:00
September 22: The Big Bang Theory at 8:00; How I Met Your Mother at 8:30; Two and a Half Men at 9:00; Worst Week at 9:30; CSI: Miami at 10:00
September 23: NCIS at 8:00; The Mentalist at 9:00; Without a Trace at 10:00
September 24: The New Adventures of Old Christine at 8:00; Project Gary at 8:30; Criminal Minds at 9:00; CSI: NY at 10:00
September 27: Crimetime Saturday at 8:00 and 9:00; 48 Hours Mystery at 10:00
September 28: 60 Minutes at 7:00; The Amazing Race at 8:00; Cold Case at 9:00; The Unit at 10:00
October 3: Ghost Whisperer at 8:00; The Ex List at 9:00; Numb3rs at 10:00
October 9: CSI: Crime Scene Investigation at 9:00; Eleventh Hour at 10:00
If you are curious about some of those new shows, take a look at our thoughts on the advance screeners.

Mass General breast imaging experts share tips for getting through your first mammogram
"Even though I was anxious at first, the staff was caring
and nice, explaining everything so I knew what to
expect when I got my mammogram."
Read our patients' stories
Mammograms can cause anxiety for many women. "I am full of stress and anxiety days before my mammogram and until I receive my letter in the mail," says one of our patients. "So stressed that I think I drive my husband, sisters and mother crazy...for days!"
Our breast imaging technologists meet women every day who feel the same way about the test recommended annually starting at age 40. We asked them for their best advice for women facing their first mammogram.
Every mammogram at Mass General is scrutinized by a radiologist who specializes in breast imaging. We use 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis) to help distinguish harmless abnormalities from real tumors, leading to fewer callbacks and less anxiety for women.

If you wish, you can add setToolTipText() to the TableHeaderCellRenderer. Then the tooltip text can display the full header.
Or you can control the column width in the TableColumn.setPreferredWidth();
Or modify the TableHeaderCellRenderer to provide wrapping to the table header.
These are just a few ways you could accomplish full display of the column header.

LINCOLN ŌĆō Head coach Jim Riel claimed back in November he was thrilled that his Lincoln High icemen had been ŌĆ£demotedŌĆØ from the state's top tier to Division II.
The reason: He felt the overall talent level would give his Lions a more equal chance to compete against most teams.
Turns out, Riel was right. He always knew his squad had a chance to earn a berth in the championship series, but to do so with an unbeaten D-II record? That he didn't expect.
NEW YORK ŌĆö The hallways, runways and escalators inside Madison Square Garden come alive with Big East basketball-related chatter every March. Naturally, many folks will take the occasion at this weekŌĆÖs conference tournament to reflect on the end of this wildly entertaining roundball ride.

In Today's Show
The debate over the legalization of gay marriage is a long-standing battle between two firmly opposed sides, both equally as passionate about their beliefs. Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act both restrict homosexual couples in America from getting married legally, and many Americans believe this is unconstitutional.
On the other hand, those who wish to preserve the definition of marriage between a man and a woman believe that it would be absurd if the court were to overturn laws that are decades old and have already been voted on by millions. Both sides will have a chance to speak at this week's Supreme Court hearings that could decide the definition of marriage in America. Florida's 89.1 WUFT-FM's Monica Marin has more.
The Florida National Guard has experienced a drastic budget cut due to the Sequestration that took effect in early March. But with the Department of Defense Appropriations Act being passed last week in Congress, the Guard is hoping it can spend the remaining money more efficiently. The bill is expected to be signed this week by the President, and the Director of Public Affairs for the Florida National Guard, Lieutenant Colonel James Evans, says the bill should provide some help.
A new bill being proposed would prohibit the use as well as the selling, of synthetic drugs in the state. Florida's 89.1, WUFT-FM's Sabrina Alvarez has more on the proposed bill.
Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford isn't shy about pushing a nontraditional education agenda. It's based on his own life experience. He's in favor of options that are growing in popularity, like virtual classes and charter schools. StateImpact Florida reporter Gina Jordan sat down with Weatherford in his office to talk about his educational roots. He talked why he supports legislation known as the parent trigger bill and whether he thinks teachers will get raises next year.
Lawmakers take a break this week for the religious holidays, with work scheduled at the Capitol only on Wednesday and Thursday. Margie Menzel of member station WLRN in Miami has details.
A bill that would give more Florida children access to health care has passed one committee so far. KidCare is the low-cost federal-state children's health insurance program. The bill would let children who apply to the program receive care until an eligibility decision is made, usually within 45 days.
A group of magazine sellers from Indiana that police believe to be scammers have left Gainesville due to low sales and what they describe as a "hostile community." Florida's 89.1 WUFT-FM's Tony Sadiku reports.
A bill that would eliminate the state s pension plan retirement option for new employees is now headed to the Florida Senate, after the House approved the bill Friday. But, as Sascha Cordner reports, even though the Republicans won the battle against the Democrats in the Florida House Chamber, the Senate Republicans seems opposed to agree to the terms of the House pension reform plan.
The weekend may have been filled with lots of rain and wind, but Alachua County Sheriff's Deputies still traveled East to Crescent Beach on Saturday to begin providing extra enforcement over Spring Break. Florida's 89.1's Erik Ugartechea has more.
The First United Methodist Church in Gainesville has created a social and medical program designed to bring in homeless people who are often uncared for and unloved. As WUFT-FM's Kelsey Kern reports, there are multiple shelters within the community that support homeless locals, but the Helping Hands clinic does more — they honor, welcome, and care.
A few college basketball teams made waves this weekend in the NCAA tournament, and while the Gators are cruising along, it's another Florida school outside Fort Myers that has captured the nation's attention. WUFT-FM's Ben Bornstein has the scoop on the Florida Gulf Coast University Eagles.
After the suicide of a former University of Central Florida student who was apparently planning a massacre at his dorm, the university is examining whether it can improve campus safety. The incident has also sparked a conversation about what support services are available to non-traditional students. Amy Green from member station WMFE reports.

When Crony Capitalists Attack Special Interests (Updated)
4:18 PM, Dec 8, 2011 • By DANIEL HALPER
Crony capitalist extraordinaire T. Boone Pickens has an op-ed in Politico today pressing the case, once again, for the NATGAS Act, which is now pending before Congress. The bill itself would offer a slew of subsidies for those companies producing natural gas, converting trucks and cars to natural gas, and developing natural gas fueling stations throughout the country. And it just so happens that Pickens happens to own companies engaged in those very businesses, and passage of the NATGAS Act would bring a windfall of at least $100 million and likely much, much more.
One striking thing about Pickens's piece in Politico though is the Obama-like shamelessness of his attacks on "special interests." Of course President Obama is fond of attacking special interests, but it often seems like the only distinction between a legitimate, regular interest and a "special" interest is how much money that interest is putting behind the Obama reelection campaign. Unions, for example, give to Democrats, so they are not a special interest. Clean energy companies, like Solyndra, that rely entirely on federal loans and subsidies for their survival? Not a special interest—they support the president and they love the environment. General Electric, which pays no income taxes? Just ask Jeffrey Immelt, GE CEO and chairman of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness…not a special interest.
So it is without even the slightest sense of irony that Pickens writes,
Just to be clear, it's not special interests that argue government shouldn't pick winners and losers, it's conservatives who make that argument. Special interests write op-eds for Politico arguing for legislation that would take money from taxpayers and give it to companies in which they own a major stake. Apparently, special interests also fail to disclose their own conflicts of interest in those op-eds, giving the reader no indication that they may potentially make hundreds of millions of dollars of the legislation they're lobbying for.
UPDATE: In response to an inquiry from TWS, Politico has amended T, Boone Pickens's byline to reflect the fact that he has a personal financial interest in the legislation he is so shamelessly flogging:

In God's Name - Religious Slaughter in the UK
In Britain today, millions of farmed animals face having their throats cut while fully conscious – and it's perfectly legal. The law states that animals must be stunned before they are killed in the abattoir but animals which are killed by Jewish and Muslim religious slaughter are exempt from that rule. Scientific evidence shows that these animals face severe pain and distress. The Government's own advisory body, the Farm Animal Welfare Council, called for the banning of religious slaughter. Viva! has opposed religious slaughter for many years.
Slaughter Without Prestunning
Although stunning before slaughter is often ineffective, slaughter without it is an excruciating and terrifying experience faced by millions of animals every year. At present the law exempts animals killed to provide Jewish shechita and Muslim halal meat from the requirement to be stunned: Viva! believes that law must be repealed as a matter of urgency.
In 2013, Poland banned slaughter without stunning - a victory driven by Viva! Poland. This was followed by a similar move in Denmark. These developments have re-ignited the debate in the UK. Recently, John Blackwell, who took over as president elect of the British Veterinary Association (BVA) in 2013, has stated that killing animals by letting them bleed to death after slitting their throats causes unnecessary suffering. He said: "The Danish unilateral banning [was done] purely for animal welfare reasons, which is right."
John Blackwell's views echo those of Viva! and most other animal campaigning groups in the UK.
However, Viva! reiterates its opposition to all slaughter and we promote veganism as the only truly effective way to prevent animal suffering. Viva!'s investigations show that millions of animals slaughtered by conventional means are ineffectively, painfully or incompletely stunned – this means that if you eat meat you will sometimes - and perhaps often - eat meat from what are effectively unstunned animals. It is also worth considering that the overwhelming majority of the 980 million killed each year in Britain lead lives of deprivation and suffering. Find out more about slaughter. Find out how easy it is to go vegan - or at least move in that direction.

Rugby: Wadebridge Camels report January 8
Posted: January 08, 2014|
Wadebridge Camels 5, Cleve 29
WADEBRIDGE Camels president Andrew Hawkey praised groundsman Dale Cook and his helpers for enabling Saturday's home league game with leaders Cleve to take place.
While many games in the county were called off due to waterlogged pitches after the deluge of rain during the week, Molesworth Field was ready for action and in remarkably good condition.
Hawkey said: "Lots of matches in Cornwall were called off, so it was great work by the groundsman and his team."
He explained the club had been helped by having no games on the pitch for three weeks over the festive break, and the fact no further rain fell on Friday night.
Despite the groundstaff's heroics, Wadebridge were unable to end a poor run of form that has now seen them win only once in 11 league and cup games to drop them into potential relegation trouble in South West One West.
It was also their fifth successive league defeat at home and they now face a crucial match on Saturday away to Clevedon, who are one place and six points above them in the table.
Hawkey said: "We regrouped over Christmas, but found ourselves up against one of the top teams in the league on Saturday."
Fly half Danny Thomas missed an early penalty chance for Camels, before Cleve scored the game's opening try.
Nathan Huntley chipped out of defence, the ball was hacked on by Marcus Brooker, and again by Anton Welling, who scored the touchdown to put Cleve into a 5-0 lead.
Wadebridge enjoyed a good spell of pressure, but they failed to break their points duck, and were thankful to full back Will Pengelly for a superb try-saving tackle five metres out after an excellent burst by Cleve on the stroke of half-time.
However, the reprieve for the Camels was shortlived, as in first-half injury time, flanker Neil Evans sidestepped his way to a try under the posts, converted by Hall, to give Cleve a 12-0 interval lead.
Hall stretched the gap by another three points with a penalty early in the second half, while Thomas suffered an ankle injury for Wadebridge.
Cleve then grabbed their third try of the game through centre Brooker, converted by Hall, to give them an almost unassailable lead at 22-0.
Camels finally got some points on the board when a spell of pressure in Cleve's 22 saw tight-head prop Jack Scott peel away to score a try, but Jake Grubb missed the conversion.
Cleve managed to get their bonus-point fourth try right at the death with a fine individual score from Hall, which he converted himself from the touchline, with the ball bouncing over off the crossbar.
Wadebridge: Pengelly, Jake Grubb, Miskowicz, Kempthorne, D Hawkey, D Thomas, Humphrey, Treleaven, M Tarby, J Scott, Wilce, Lumb, Angwin, B Thomas, M Grubb. Replacements: Gynn, Stone, Burnard.
Wadebridge: Try: J Scott.
Cleve: Tries: A Welling, Evans, Brooker, Hall; Cons: Hall (3); Pen: Hall.

The Demon Dazzlers serve as the official jazz line for Northwestern. Performing for Demon pep rallies, football, and basketball games, the Demon Dazzlers blend different styles of precision movement to produce a unique style of precision-jazz dance. Members of the Demon Dazzlers are Katie Bethard of Jena, Emily Daniels of Kentwood, Kim Gallow of Lafayette, Falon Jackson of Mansura, Apryl Jenkins of Natchitoches, Bethany LaVergne of Opelousas, Rachael McGee of Eunice, Lauren Waguespack of Gonzales and Robin Wilder of Homer.
Waguespack, McGee, and director/choreographer Oates, an alumna of Northwestern in theatre with a concentration in dance performance, worked with the Dazzlers to develop a jazz dance routine to the song "Heads Will Roll."
"We worked hard and left it on the dance floor," said Waguespack, a senior theatre major who is the Dazzlers' captain. "It was a difficult routine that really showcased what our team has to offer."
The Dazzlers hope the strong showing on a national level two years in a row will help them recruit new members, Oates said. Auditions for the 2012-13 Demon Dazzlers will be held April 21.
During the fall semester, the Dazzlers serve as an auxiliary unit of the Spirit of Northwestern Demon Marching Band, accompanying them to various marching festivals, guest appearances and football games both at home and selected away games. During the spring, the Dazzlers provide half-time entertainment for the Demon basketball games and perform various exhibitions throughout the state. During the summer, the Dazzlers sponsor and attend dance camps.
For more information on the Demon Dazzlers or to download an audition packet, go demonband.nsula.edu/auxiliaries or recruiting.nsula.edu/spirit-group-information. Incoming students can also call Northwestern State's Office of Recruiting at (800) 327-1903 or e-mail Ashlee Crooks at firstname.lastname@example.com or Oates at email@example.com. Incoming or continuing students are eligible to audition if they have at least a 2.0 GPA.

you have seen some of his characteristic photos.
One of my favorite Thai models is Jup Salakjit (aka Carlie or Lili Zhou). Her
photos - taken when she was approx. 19 years old - appeared in various magazines
and websites. FYI, there are two different models with the name Carlie featured
by Bluebird. One is Jup Salakjit who has also gone under the name of Lili Zhou
in some pictures for some reason. The other is Sirinya Saisirikorn another Thai
model (thanks ap_nath for the info!).

When old friends Henry and Cato reunite after years apart, they quickly become embroiled in the drama of each other's lives. Henry, who has just returned to England as the sole heir to his recently deceased brother's estate, quickly begins to uncover secrets buried long ago. Meanwhile, Cato, a Catholic priest, has fallen in love with the criminal Beautiful Joe, and struggles to reform him despite the thief's continual efforts to rob him.
A stirring portrait of morality and redemption, Henry and Cato is an insightful look at coping with the crises that come with life's unexpected changes.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Wednesday night's icy mess reminded me a lot of Snowjam '82.Anyone who had to drive home in that particular winter nightmare, when Mother Nature dropped six inches of snow on Atlanta in the middle of rush hour, I'm sure will never forget it. (I wasn't old enough to drive, but I'll never forget it for another reason: I had the chicken pox. A whole week out of school and I spent it in the bed.) The stories of Wednesday night were similar to 1982: Thousands of traffic accidents, hourslong commutes, abandoned vehicles, motel stays. (In 1982, a guy who worked with my dad, after hours of trying to get home, stopped and knocked on the door of a stranger, who let him spend the night at his house.) It all made me wonder: Why don't we prepare better for winter weather in the South? Now I know the short answer is we don't have enough of it. It doesn't make any sense to spend money (especially nowadays) preparing for something that rarely happens. That may be true, but we do have winter storms, and some years more than others. Instead of being caught with our pants down — every time it's like it's the first time here — why haven't we made the investment at some point to deal with the weather better? If we'd done that when times were better, wouldn't it have paid for itself by now? I'm not picking on the DOT, the power companies or any other agency. In fact, what I'm asking is why don't we give them more tools to keep our roads clear, the power on and schools and businesses open? And more broadly, why don't we Southerners take it upon ourselves to educate and prepare ourselves? If we emphasized that more, maybe we'd deal with it better. Or maybe that's wishful thinking. Maybe I'm so unfamiliar with the truths of winter weather that I'm pipe-dreaming. And underestimating the human ability to do stupid stuff, like trying to drive 70 miles per hour on sheets of ice. But here's the thing: Our counterparts to the north do not shut down every time it snows or ices over. Certain parts of the country would cease to function for the winter months if they hadn't learned to adapt. It seems to me we could learn more than we have from their experience. We could even hold a weather summit and return the favor. They could teach us to deal with snow and ice and we could teach the Yankees how not to die when the temperature gets above 90. I think it's an idea whose time has come. Let's just make sure we hold it somewhere with nice weather. E-mail Nate McCullough at email@example.com. His column appears on Fridays

Duration: approx 2 hours 20 mins (includes 20 min interval)Presented by Blackeyed TheatreWritten by Bram Stoker
Adapted by John Ginman
The year is 1897. Mankind is on the cusp of vast technological change,
scientific mastery and media innovation. As traditional beliefs give way to a
new world and all its unknown threats, an altogether darker fear emerges.
Stretching from London, through provincial England,
to the mountainous wastes of Transylvania, Bram Stoker's timeless gothic
thriller embodies the struggle to break taboos, resist temptation and stop the
unknown outside becoming the enemy within. As Dracula's shadow looms large over
England, a small group of young men and women, led by Professor Van Helsing,
are locked in a struggle for survival where only the fittest will survive.
Combining specially commissioned live music,
powerful ensemble performances and innovative design, Blackeyed Theatre's Dracula
is a thrilling and thought-provoking theatrical experience.Photo credit: Alex Harvey-BrownView the full Harrogate Theatres February - August 2014 Season Brochure below

Bretton Woods II: No Gold Standard
Posted By admin On November 15, 2008 @ 8:41 am In Globalism,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Frank Tang
November 15, 2008
Gold surged on Friday as world leaders gathered to battle the economic crisis, amid talk of a new Bretton Woods agreement to shore up the financial system, but calls to revisit the gold standard are unlikely.
The gold standard, a monetary system of fixed exchange rates in terms of gold, had been the cornerstone of Bretton Woods, which created the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, until President Richard Nixon took the U.S. dollar off the standard in 1971.
Bullion, seen as a safe haven in market turmoil, has staged a $50 per ounce rally from Thursday's intraday low, as funds bought heavily ahead of this weekend's meeting, which includes leaders of the Group of 20 advanced and emerging economies.
"I think the anticipation of something from the G20 meeting is helping gold," said George Gero, vice president of RBC Capital Markets Global Futures.
World leaders, including British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, have recently vowed to change the international monetary system created at the Bretton Woods, New Hampshire conference in 1944, which helped draw up the post-war financial order.

|General Diesel Discussion Discuss everything else pertaining to Diesel Pickups.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
So here is the dilemma. I own a 1995 suburban k1500 that has a 6" lift 35's etc, I owe 3200 on it. I've been wanting to buy a diesel for the past few years and I've posted on here potential trucks that never worked out and what not. Now I keep having to put money into my truck to keep it some what dependable and I am wantiing a diesel bad. However everytime I find some what of a decent deal I get screwed on trade in and then a truck that is a little more than private party now becomes to expensive to even consider. For example I looked at a 04 f250 4x4 crew cab short bed with a 100k work truck interior so no power windows etc. Asking price is 15995 and they won't deviate from price because they have to wash my negative into the truck. Now that is to much in my opinion for what the truck is base model etc.
I haven't had any luck selling truck out right. Its registered in WA and I'm in CA now and I'm pretty sure the truck won't pass CA emission testing so no one has interest plus it sucks the gas so with economy the way it is hard to sell a truck like I have. What do you guys suggest I do cause I'm ready to pull my hair out trying to join the diesel community and I can't seem to do that. Oh and I was trying to get into something that I wouldn't pay more than 350 a month for that has potential to get better than 10mpg.
Last edited by Josh25; 11-27-2009 at 05:24 PM.
I was looking at the 99-02's with the 7.3 for cost purposes. I figured if I could score a good deal on a crew cab and liked it then later down the road I could upgrade to newer seats etc for better comfort. I want to try and get me a truck that I can keep for a long time but can't afford a lot of whats out there.
man, you shoulda jumped on the cash for clunkers bandwagon when it was available. coulda got $4500 for your truck right? you should be able to sell it for what you owe if you do private party sale. try craigslist or auto trader. people still love your truck style.
Ditto on the craigslist idea. Keep reposting it untill it sells. Took twice to sell my '94.5 F250. Tax season is coming too, so more poeple will likely be scouting the market.
like what jeff said, best way to get hte most money for your truck is autotrader, cars.com, or craigslist.
I'm gonna keep running it on CL but like I said I'm in CA so for me to sell it private party I have to get it up to par with CA emission requirements. I know the exhause will fail it for sure and lord knows what else. That is why I would rather just trade it in and not fool with it. I mean I may have to shell out 1k to fix it to sell private party for what I owe or just take a 1-1.5k loose on trade but like I said the trucks here in this area at dealers they love them and won't deal with price because of my trade. Private party sells out here have some nice trucks with pretty good deals but I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. If I wanted to just trade in for a decent F150 for example I can do that easier with a nicer truck and less money. All the diesels at lots at 15k and less I just can't bring myself to spend that much on it because of either the package it has or condition or combination of the two. I'm gonna keep trying. I thought of just doing a f150 for now and then waiting for a couple years and give it to the wife and take her car and trade it for a diesel then, I don't know.
So I came really close to signing papers on a Harley. Was thinking it would be a sweat ride and same me some $ on gas but I wouldn't really save any money on the note so I backed out. I'd love to have a bike but for simplicity purposes I believe just replacing my suburban with a truck would be best. I'm starting to see a few more deals out there now that we're getting closer to tax season hopefully someone either picks mine up or I can get a decent enough deal and just trade it in.
1993 ford f350,crew,DIESEL,4x4,5sp,lifted
I've also considered going older but I would perfer a newer superduty.
whats the mileage on that truck, it said call or email so im guessing its pretty high, but it looks good on the outside but that doesnt mean junk about the motor.
Well a few other options came up for me. I'm so back and forth with decisions its not even funny. I picked up a new cat for my truck to try and get it up to par with emission standards to sell. I haven't installed it yet but I did end up having to change the water pump and now I believe my radiator may be leaking.
So all that being said I know you guys won't be a big fan of this but I found a guy locally that does cummins conversions and he quoted me a price of 4500 to do a 6bt conversion in my burban. As cool as that is and cheap I've been considering doing it. Although I have seen where in the LA area and Riverside area I can pick up a excursion diesel between 10k-16k miles between 100k-200k. They have a few 7.3 liter's.
I myself bounce around between a few of these forums of course I'm currently apart of a chevy forum and also a cummins forum. I spend a lot of time trying to pick out and decide the right truck/suv for me and I can't never seem to be able to decide. Depending on my needs for that week usually changes things for me. The number 1 thing about all of this is I want to drive a diesel regardless what truck it is. That being said at times I really think the excursion or suburban cummins is the way to go since I rairly if ever need a pick up bed. However I do own a honda atv and no trailer right now.
As partial I am to the cummins my latest idea came to me last night. If I'm willing to do it in my suburban why not pick up a excursion 4x4 diesel roll it for a couple years or until a majoy problem happens then do a cummins conversion in it. At least that way I'll already have the heavier duty frame/suspension and the creatur comforts in the interior. So my rant on this is over for the moment please pass on any insite advice comments you have to me I'm bored at work on xmas day and dreaming of a coal burning vehicle to ride home in.

In Case I Die Before I Wake, Just Know…
Writer's Note: Once a month, I lead a workshop called 'Writing As Yoga.' Today, our practice was to write about death; a few students decided to write a letter to their children to receive after they die. Here is mine:
Dearest Emma and Ruby,
Can you feel me? Can you feel my caress of your cheek? Can you hear my whispers in your ear?
I am holding you now; just as you cradled me for all those years, now I can do the same.
You have moved me like no one else; you have healed my heart with your eyes, your smiles, your sweet little hands, in mine.
You are my earth, my sky, my sun—now, let me be yours.
In every gentle brush of air that strokes the leaves or light glistening on your arm as you drive. In the coo of the birds eating leftovers off the cafe table, the cricket chirping outside of your window and the rain drumming her wetness on the roof—know it is me reminding you…it will always be me.
An eternity of bedtimes—snuggled closely together, intertwined vines of legs and feet, leafing through pages of your books, love feasting on our womb of safety—never-ending, even as the last book closes, we remain—woven together, braided forever.
As our bodies evaporate, the root has knotted herself in soil, never to be untied or unearthed—mother to daughters, daughters to mother.
My touch, my hugs, my kisses will become a memory; that's ok. Let my memory be your blanket. Wrap it tightly around your heart whenever you feel cold, so that you know, you are never alone.
I watch you by daylight, I protect you by moonlight—the wind will carry your prayers into my palms of devotion.
I see you. I hear you. Never question my presence.
And when you sleep, let's dance, or go to the zoo, or maybe we sit and watch the clouds; I'll help you reach out and touch them this time.
Ask me your questions of uncertainty; in the morning, you will wake with the answer of understanding on your lips.
When you marry your love, I will be the billow in your veil.
As you birth your precious child, I will be the echo in her cries, the blink of her eyes.
I am your mother and you are my children; this will never change, even though everything else does.
Hold me close as an urn of ash and then let me go. Spread me across the world. Scatter my dust in every crevice, so that no matter where you go, I am your footprint, guiding you home.
I love you,
Written by Rebecca Lammersen

It's a long way to the 2014 BCS championship game, but two popular choices to make it there are already talking.
Alabama is coming off a second straight national championship. Nick Saban has led the school to three national championships in four years.
The Crimson Tide, however, might not have gotten that chance if Ohio State was eligible for postseason play. The Buckeyes were the only undefeated team in the FBS last season, and Urban Meyer is the only other coach in the country with multiple national titles to his credit.
The bottom line is Alabama and Ohio State—No. 1 and No. 5 in SN's Top 25 rankings—seem to be on a collision course.
Personalities on both sides haven't been afraid to stoke the fire:
May 24
Meyer tweaked Alabama in a Q-and-A with CBSSports.com:
"You look at [2012], (Alabama) should have lost three games. Georgia had them beat," Meyer said. "LSU, I watched that one, it was over. Obviously they ended up beating them. I thought they'd be really good. I think there are some really good teams in the conference."
May 28
Saban responded in not-so-subtle fashion at the SEC meetings:
"How well would (Ohio State, coached by longtime foe Urban Meyer) have done had they played the six (SEC) teams that were ranked in the top 10?" Saban said. "Would they beat them all? Would they beat three of them? I don't know."
May 30
Ohio State president Gordon Gee was criticized for his comments about Notre Dame and Catholics, but he also snuck in a jab at SEC fans who say the Big Ten can't count because it now has 14 members:
"You tell the SEC when they can learn to read and write, then they can figure out what we're doing," Gee said.
College football radio personality Paul Finebaum then offered his thoughts on Twitter:
"I guess this would be as good a time as any to predict (HOPE!!!) for an Alabama-Ohio State BCS title game."
What we want to know is, who's next?
The BCS championship game is Jan. 6, 2014 at the Rose Bowl.
Ohio State and Alabama have met three times, the last in the 1995 Citrus Bowl. The Crimson Tide have won all three previous meetings.

Lumio is
inspired by the idea of an illuminated book, it unfolds from a book into
a lamp! All you need to to is open the book to turn on the light and
close it to turn it off, no switches or buttons. Lumio was designed by
designer Max Gunawan and when fully charged remains lit for up to 8
hours. When open, Lumio offers multiple lighting possibilities: ceiling
pendant, outdoor lantern, table lamp, etc...The original project was
recently launched on kickstarter and is already way past its funding target.

About the car
This car is awesome because of it's versatility. It has a 3rd row seat tucked away in the tailgate that easily folds out and takes the capacity from 5 to 7. The seats are both split, so if you need luggage space but need one extra seat from the third row, simply open that side, if you need to transport something long (like my skis) you can put half of the 2nd and third row down and still have seating for 3 or 2 if you don't want to open up the third row. Tan leather interior with heated front seats are very comfortable for all. No CD player but there is a direct connection for your Iphone/ipod (old style 32 pin, not the new "Lightning" style, sorry iphone 5ers). Fog lights and high ground clearance make this a great car in bumpy urban and off-road conditions. There is a rack on top which can accommodate 2 bikes (you have to remove the front wheels of the bikes). Vehicle features: GPS Navigation, Air Conditioning, power leather seats, cruise control, power windows, and power sunroof. SMOKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THE VEHICLE.
This is my second vehicle, so it is pretty much available all the time. Pickup and dropoffs are easy with either personal meeting or use of a lockbox. Normally the vehicle resides at my building in South Beach. I can sometimes arrange for a MIA pickup, but usually charge an extra $20 and might require to be dropped back off at home. MIA to where the car is parked is about a 20 min ride and taxis are a flat rate of $33 to/from MIA and the vehicle.Report this listing Add to favorites Remove from favorites

Working for free may not be ideal, but in this day and age, it's become a pretty standard way for students and recent grads to get their feet in the door. But one girl isn't having any of it.
Xuedan Wang made news this February when she sued the Hearst Corporation over an unpaid internship, claiming that she had worked full-time in the fashion closet for zero pay — which is fairly typical for a fashion internship. Now she's filing a suit against Dana Lorenz's jewelry company Fenton Fallon over unpaid wages, the New York Post reports.
This time Wang is claiming that in her time as an intern for Lorenz, her duties ranged from purchasing materials to actually working on pieces of jewelry, all while holding the title of "press intern". When she filed her lawsuit against Hearst, Wang tried to turn the case into a class action suit. There has been no word on whether any other former Hearst interns joined her or on the general status of the case since February.
The crux of Wang's argument is that you can't treat an intern like a salaried employee and not pay them. But if Wang didn't want to work for free, why did she take these positions in the first place? Regardless, unpaid internships are certainly a hot-button issue. Condé Nast revised its internship policies around the same time that Wang filed her suit, presumably to avoid getting into a similar legal situation.
