From the Bird's Nest: Thoughts on the Kent State Game
Well, just like the first game of the season against Oklahoma State, there were plenty of ups and downs in Saturday's game with Kent State. Here are my thoughts, not in any particular order.
THE CAJUNS DEFENSIVE LINE–It's been a while since a Cajuns defense dominated a game like they did Saturday night. And, it all started up front. Derrick Dean, Tyrell Gaddies and Chris Tucker started for the Cajuns and all three were very good. Dean and Gaddies blew up Kent State's offensive line on more than one occasion. Tucker recovered two fumbles. And the success up front enabled the other players on defense to pile up some good stats. Their performance wasn't as flashy (read: highlight plays) as guys like Stokes and Bentley, but, in my opinion, the DL was the key to the win.
SPEAKING OF STOKES AND BENTLEY–Stokes had the pick six for the Cajuns. Bentley forced a fumble and broke up a pass. He also delivered some of the best hits by a defensive back since Damon Mason.
QYEN GRIFFEN–His stats weren't that impressive, 24 carried for 51 yards. His longest rush was seven yards. But Kent State's defensive line gets the credit for that. Griffen ran hard and made the defense make plays. And, on his one yard touchdown run, he did a remarkable job of reaching out and hitting the pylon with the football as his body was going out of bounds. That's a play an upperclassman makes.
QUARTERBACK PLAY–I'm giving Chris Masson a pass for most of the night. First of all, Kent State's defense was pretty doggoned good. Middle Linebacker Luke Batton made life miserable for the Cajuns all night long and KSU's defensive line, as expected, was overpowering at times. Masson's made a poor throw early which set up KSU's first score. And, the senior wasn't helped by the poor field position the Cajuns had at times. With the torrential rains that fell, Masson was the best qb option for most of the game, because he made, for the most part, good decisions. The safety happened on what was supposed to be a running play and there was a missed assignment by the running back. But, when the rain stopped and Masson misfired on a couple of open receivers in the fourth quarter, coach Mark Hudspeth went to Blaine Gautier at the perfect time. Gautier gave the Cajuns a spark on a (relatively) dry field and got the Cajuns a huge field goal. But he also fumbled when the Cajuns could have put the game away. This battle, if you will, is far from settled. Given the opponent in game one and the conditions in game two, I don't know if we can draw any conclusions yet. I think both quarterbacks are better players than the stats show. But starting this week, they need to step up.
NIX ON NIX–The MAC defensive POY from a year ago didn't play much. And, when he did, he was a liability to the Flashes. His two personal foul penalties resulted in a Cajuns field goal. He had two tackles in the game, one for loss.
O-LINE–They were frequently overmatched. But, this group played hard and did some good things. The only sack came on the safety. And, the O-line only had two penalties, a holding call against Kyle Plouhar in the first half and a crackback block on Daniel Quave in the third quarter right after the lightning delay. These guys have to get better….but I thought they actually made a little progress Saturday.
BRETT BAER–He's proving to be a weapon for this team. He had one bad punt, when the team asked him to rugby kick (let's not do that again, okay?) but other than that, he averaged 47.5 yards per punt. His field goal out of a puddle in the pouring rain was big time.
KICKOFFS–Still not good. Stover had one good kick which carried to the six yard line. He also kicked another one out of bounds. This has to get better in a hurry.
GIVEAWAYS/TAKEAWAYS–The Cajuns have now forced seven turnovers in two games. Three have come back for touchdowns. If this continues, the Cajuns will win football games. Pure and simple. Conversely, the Cajuns have five turnovers in two games. If this continues, the Cajuns will lose football games. Pure and simple.
The Cajuns' win on Saturday belongs to the defense. Regardless of how pretty or how ugly you perceive the victory to be, it's great to be able to say the Cajuns' defense played winning football. Greg Stewart was a very happy man Saturday night.

Believe Charter Network Founder Indicted
The city's determination to close the Believe Charter Network schools came into focus on Thursday when its founder, Eddie Calderon-Melendez, was arrested on 11 felony counts, including tax fraud, grand larceny and falsifying business records.
The office of the state attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, has been investigating Mr. Calderon-Melendez, 48, since last year, digging through tax and expense account records to figure out where tens of thousands of dollars of public money has gone, The New York Times reported on Friday.
In a statement, Mr. Schneiderman said:
"While earning a six-figure salary funded largely by taxpayer dollars, the defendant robbed the State of New York of much-needed revenue when he failed to pay his taxes for six years in a row. He then compounded his crime by creating false evidence to throw investigators off his trail."
The Believe Network consists of Williamsburg Charter High School, an 870-student 9-12 school that he opened in 2004, and Believe Northside and Believe Southside, both high schools of fewer than 200 students in Brooklyn, which he opened five years later. During that period, the indictment says, he was paid about $1.4 million in compensation, more than $500,000 of it in 2009 alone.
The city has been adamant about shutting down the three schools, despite the protests of parents of the Williamsburg High School students and others at a public hearing in March. At that hearing, Theodoric Meyer reported for SchoolBook, Mr. Calderon-Melendez was recognized as a problem, but one that officials had addressed, according to the school's lawyer, Ellen K. Eagen:
The school's board members who had conflicts of interest have resolved them or left the board, Ms. Eagen said. They have hired a management firm, Charter School Business Management, to review the school's books. And the board has fired Mr. Calderon-Melendez, who Ms. Eagen called the source of most of the school's troubles.
"I want to make it very clear, chancellor, that Eddie is gone," she told Kathleen Grimm, the deputy schools chancellor who led the hearing. "He is no longer involved with this school."
Mr. Calderon-Melendez, who opened Williamsburg Charter in 2004 and went on to form the Believe High School Network in Brooklyn, suffered from "founder's syndrome," Ms. Eagen said, which she recognized from her experience as a former teacher and school administrator.
Like some other founders, she said, Mr. Calderon-Melendez was charming and charismatic but ran his school with little influence from others. "We had one person calling the shots," she said.
According to Friday's article in The Times:
Almost all of the money to operate the three schools came from public financing, according to investigators. Mr. Calderon-Melendez failed to pay at least $70,000 in state and city taxes on his income during those years, the authorities said.
He also spent about $1,800 on personal expenses in Europe, which he charged to a school credit card, then had employees falsify school records to cover up that spending, according to the indictment. No other employees of the schools or the Believe network have been charged.
Williamsburg Charter and Southside Charter are still on track to close this year, but Northside Charter received a reprieve from the state in March.
Also in the news, Nancy Bruni, a friend of SchoolBook and The Local in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, and a generous and knowledgeable resource for city school parents and students, offers some practical and helpful advice to English Language Learners this week. In a post in Voices of New York, a digital newsletter produced by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism that aggregates the best of New York's ethnic and community journalism, Ms. Bruni draws on her own experiences as an immigrant from Taiwan in 1972 in sixth grade. She writes:
I learned English the old fashion way: self-imposed language boot camp.
I started by watching old Chinese movies that I was familiar with, and I paid careful attention to the subtitles. I watched television shows – "Gilligan's Island" and "The Brady Bunch" — to pick up the American jargon I needed. I worked on my speech, and used my neighbors to practice. I labored over my vocabulary, starting with five words a day from a dictionary, and working my way up to twenty words a day. It took me three years to be proficient at speaking English. Writing took a little more time. And it was hard work.
She then goes on to review the various programs for English language learners in city schools, and offer her own practical tips for becoming proficient in English. It's a valuable resource.
For public school students, parents and staff members, this is the last weekday of spring break. Enjoy. And welcome home, Yankees.

And then…
Struggling. Fell asleep at 2 this morning in tears and my eyes were glued shut this morning. Had the strangest, most unsettling chat with D last night.
He's taken a part-time job to try to make a little more money and reduce his stress (he works for a terrible company). The part-time work is not ever going to be full time…it's a lot more money but the work isn't necessarily stable or secure. Regardless, it's another option for him which is great. I was really happy for him when he got it…he was happy too. We chatted about changes and how the extra money might really help with getting things set up for Colt, i.e. buying a house etc. While celebrating for him, I suddenly had a wonderful thought. For one moment, I stopped feeling like the entire world was resting on my shoulders.
I am the breadwinner and have been for the last decade. D does not make enough to pay our monthly output, rent…the insurance on the cars…he can barely cover the bills. He has no benefits and no pension, no perks no nothing. He gets a low hourly wage and gets taken full advantage of every single day. I've been trying to get him back to school since we met…he postures as if he's going to do it but then it always falls to the side as things in life get complicated.
So, throughout this time I've tried to be supportive and encouraging. I'm in fucking agony most days…the pain gets so bad and some days, I'm not entirely sure I'll make it ONE year, let along the fifteen I need to collect my pension. It's been stressful having everyone depend on me being able to do this. Thinking there was no way out for me…I was going to have to work until I drop, literally. I've calculated it out…how much this will take from me and I figure I'm shortening my life by at least a few years, carrying this out. I've cried a million tears over this, fearful, worried, feeling that I'll fail for sure and when I do both D and Colt will get blown up with me. I worry that I'll ruin their lives. Seriously… I do.
While talking to D about the new direction he's taking I mentioned the relief I felt. The fact that everything might not depend on me making it through this almost made me faint, it affected me so greatly. There was finally a glimmer of hope that if I fail, he could actually carry us for a while. Amazingly, these words pissed him off. I was so surprised I didn't even talk at first…just sat there, confused.
"Holy fuck Grainne, I've barely picked up another job and you're already talking about sitting around at home while I support you."
"Nooo! no no…that's not what I meant. I just wanted to share that relief….it's supposed to make you feel good, not mad. Don't you want to be able to take care of us all?" I said around a mouthful of sadness and tears.
"Could you just, for once in your life, think about something other than yourself?!" He retorted.
Ouch. "I didn't mean that D. You know I'll support you in this change…" I wasn't sure how to finish that sentence.
"LISTEN!!" He roared. "This isn't about YOU! Everything isn't always about you! We have been living hand to mouth for years while I took care of you and Colton and I'm fucking sick of being broke all the time!!!" He was so angry he was cutting the nastiest glares. Then he went into a tailspin and started lecturing me.
"Oh poor you, yes, I know what's wrong. You feel ripped off right? You feel like things aren't going your way and you are not going to end up getting what you want. Well, what about me?? Why do I have to sit at home and be stressed all the time about this shitty job I have? I need to do something for me once in a while…." and it went on and on.
I closed my eyes and tears flowed down my cheeks non-stop while he emptied out his guilt.
"You're missing my point…" I tried.
"No, I get it. You only have ten years left to really enjoy and you're pissed off that I don't want to spend those years at home taking care of you!"
Oh. Okay. I mean, I sort of took all of my strength from knowing that these two loved me and would be around, especially for the next ten years or so while I can do things like hike and sit in the car for hours on end, taking little trips. If things continue as they are and the pain gets worse I don't know I'll be able to get out of bed, let alone weed my garden or do whatever it is I'll be doing in ten years. Likely still desperately hanging on to my job so I can hold us all together … But anyway.
D has a way of turning guilt into yelling. I don't think I've sobbed like that over something he said or did to me for years. Luckily, Colt came into the room and that stopped the lecture in its tracks. I lay on my couch and covered my head and cried. He left the room. Came back a while later and started talking to me like it never happened. I jumped for the bait and tried to detach entirely…let all the horrible feelings inside me go and became a living, breathing pile of skin and not much else. I let him chatter on. He asked me what was wrong a few hours into the evening but I ignored him.
"Can you not just support me this once!?" He kept demanding.
I support him all the time. I listen to his frustrations and fears, triumphs and joy. I participate in the conversation, ask questions, let him go on for hours if he likes. I support him emotionally by being his buffer. He can take every huge emotion and place it in front of me and I know the way to calm it…show him the real reasons behind the sudden anger he felt. I spend all of my time with him and Colt, I never take advantage, ever. We had a super blow out about that once and the memory of the fight makes me flinch and start to panic. I try not to think of it, ever. I support him financially, I buy his clothes and socks and underwear…I do his laundry, clean the house, take my half of child raising responsibilities… Where is he lacking? I suppose he must feel a lot of pressure to take care of Colt and I but that's why I told him I felt better..a little less terrified. It only pissed him off.
He has it in his head that I'm bitching at him because he's going to be working and not hanging around to make me food and clean the kitty litter when I can't bend that way. I've never been that sort of partner. I depend on him for things but I'm not a complete idiot without him. I'll admit, he does a lot for Colt and I get away with murder by being allowed to sleep for the entire weekend, but it's not a deal breaker. If he wants to do this, I won't hold him back.
He plans on starting his own business again. He wanted to make sure I realized that it would be taking up most of his time, aside from the time he carved out for Colt. So…this is my decade I guess. Sitting at home trying to force my eyes not to close while cleaning and taking care of the boy. If I'm in pain…tough shit. If I can't do it? Same deal. He's preparing me for this by refusing to help. I asked if he'd pick Colt up on Tuesday and he said he couldn't. I was okay with it…ended up changing my plans so I could get him. When we arrived home D was there. Our sitter is a five minute drive from the house…he drove right past him and still told me he couldn't pick him up so I could get home an hour early and catch a rest. I worked that extra hour in pain, dragged myself to the sitters and then got home, having not picked up one of my meds that I needed because I didn't have the time. He was sitting in the living room in his underwear. Nice eh? Then the other day when he came to my office demanding help with something he needed printed I asked if he'd grab me a coffee on the way. He said no then left my office and went directly to the coffee shop to get himself one. … Then he called me from the fucking line to tell me that he needed something else done and he was coming back to my office. This morning, I asked if he'd help Colt with his hair while I searched for a pair of stockings (too cold out there for bare legs). He protested, loudly, explaining how he didn't have time, then stood there and texted someone for 4 straight minutes. I got to work 40 min later and he called me from home. He hadn't left yet.
Frustration. I'm feeling rather out here on my own this week.

I hope things get better for you . . .
Pete says :
Oh my sweet Twin, I love you so xo
This is a prime example of how even the closest person to you can 'forget' or not even realise the true extent of your pain. D doesn't have any idea of someone in agony or in pain all of the time, shit how could he? It hasn't touched him Grainne, he feels ok and I goddamn wish I could say the same, but I am so seeing things from your perspective and I guess that is because we share that common pain/fatigue bond. Neither of us asked for it or even deserved it, yet others who feel 100% ok think it ok to walk all over us.
I'm always here for you sweets,
Love Pete xo
Grainne says :
My love Pete. You're dead on…I'm trying not to hold him too accountable. I gave up being hurt last night and just kind of numbed to it. Will see how things go this weekend…xxxxx
frailistheheart says :
I'm really sorry to hear that things are so tough right now. It's very frustrating when someone misinterprets like that 😦 I hope he apologises to you for upsetting you like that x
Mental Mama says :
As much as I would absolutely love to be close enough to you to visit and help out when you're have rough days, it's a fucking good thing for D that I'm as far away from y'all as I am. I am also the breadwinner in my marriage so I know what that's like. It's not essential for them to make equal money if they compensate for it in other ways. Sounds like the reality is that D is the one who thinks everything is about him. Boy would I like to set him straight.
Mental Mama says :
You're a "kitten person," yes? Josh found a great gif for me last night that I'd be more than happy to share if you'd be interested in such cute this morning.

Bad Foods You Should Be Eating (Page 5)
The bad rep: Chocolate has lots of fat, lots of sugar—and it tastes amazing, so it must be bad for you.
The good news: Dark chocolate contains flavanols, antioxidants that seem to have a blood-thinning effect, which can benefit cardiovascular health. And, recently, researchers in Switzerland reported that eating dark chocolate (1.4 ounces of it) every day for two weeks reduced stress hormones, including cortisol, in highly stressed people. But be sure to account for the calories (1.4 ounces delivers 235)—or you may be stressed to see extra pounds creeping on.

Homemade Exhaust
Working on getting a beat up '84 318i running properly, that I just got. But somebody cut out the muffler. The reason I've committed to her is something for that I can fix up and try out all my ideas on with out worrying about driving her to school the next day. Anyway, I've got this '84 318i and it idles at 3000 rpm and I'm under the hood trying to check vacuum and timing and the such and I have an open header right there. So I'm using this as an excuse to play around with some different ideas, based around exhaust muffling. I've been talking to my Physics teacher about compression waves and reflection, and mathematically you can reflect waves back on them selves to cancel them out and do it with out significantly decreasing the flow of gases. I think this is what flowmaster and borla use in their mufflers.
I'm going start fabricating a muffler, and I'm playing around with a few ideas, may be dumb, good what ever, let me know you're take on this. BTW I'm a student in high school (12th grade), work a couple days a week, obsess over cars, and am a self taught welder ($88 harbor freight special). I'm in AP Physics, Auto, and taking both 12th and 11th grade english, so I don't feel bad bragging about AP Physics, but you'll have to excuse my grammar. At school we have a Millermatic hooked up.
Here's my ideas, whether they make sense, or if I'll even be able to go through with it we'll see.
I have an old cherry bomb from my friends olde F-100. It has 2.5 inch inlet/outlet. I want to cut it open and use the center pipe and some off the baffling. I want to make a muffler that I can take apart bolt together like an oil pan. I cut the center pipe (from the cherry bomb) in half and line them up next to each other so the entering waves will have to pass through the perforated center section and the baffling to get to the other half of the center section to then leave the muffler.
Sounds like I forgot about the reflection part of the muffler, but this is where I would like to get fancy. I'll have to include pictures to really get what I mean across but for now I'll refer to the placement in terms of an XY plane. If Y+ is the inlet side and Y- is the outlet then the muffler will be a rectangle longer in Y then X with the inlet being -X,+Y corner. The two halves of the center section will be lined up longwise, parallel with Y axis. But I would like there to be a wide section in the +Y Section where I would like to put a valve that opens based on either pressure acting against the valve against a spring, or a vacuum servo. I would like this valve to allow the compression waves to travel down a path of obstacles designed to reflect the waves to silence as opposed to baffling. The path, I picture, would travel +X then -Y then -X then exits where the gases normally do in the center of the -Y side. So I'm looking at a four chambered muffler. First one has the inlet into the muffler, and the valve to let pressure into the reflection type chamber, and an outlet into the cherry bomb baffling center sections chamber, then both baffling and reflection chambers empty into the last chamber which has the out let out of the muffler.
I'm going to cut open that cherry bomb and start making the main box. In the mean time anyone who's in the exhaust field should give me some pointers. I haven't looked at the specific science to reflection yet. Also bounce some ideas about the valve, and how to properly seal everything. I want to have the spring and servo mounted on the out side of the muffler and to have to whole thing serviceable, so I can keep changing things, because I'm never content. Bounce some ideas on the whole concept too, should I just screw valve? Should I just put a big red noisy cherry bomb straight on ? I don't think so, but let me know what you think.
I'll post pictures as I work on it and update.
Yo, my name's Nick
sounds like you have a good plan, haha sounds to tecnical for me but at least your not just some kid who is saying your gonna make a muffler.... looks like you have a pretty good understanding of things. good luck and post some pics as you make it, im interested to see how it looks/works.
Thank you for sticking up for me, but in all honesty as holes like him just drive me. Shop class in grade 9 first year of high school, I obsessed over cars, was just getting into different concepts and theories. I would bring theories about power from revs as opposed to from displacement to class to talk about and all the rednecks in my class who grew up working on trucks and muscle cars with their dads would shoot me down and tell me I was retarded. They had the experience under a car, and I didn't, there were very few arguements I could make against them since I was a "***** canadian who likes ***** import ****". But since then I've learned to work on my own car. Learned to weld. Worked in a junkyard in canada where I took apart VWs day in day out and I've learned a ton, and those as holes are now my best friends who all help me out with my ideas, and I help them with trouble shooting and modding their cars.
I don't think I'd have been as driven to learn as much as I have with out them. So anyone in the position to shut Cliffmac up, please don't, for my sake.
And I don't think I'm smarter then everyone. One thing I'll definitely never over come is my lack of common sense, and my ability to over analyze to the point where I make a simple problem complicated. I'm just now trying to learn about the very technical side of mufflers, so what I've posted is just a blurry out line of the ideas I've learned so far, and therefor sounds like BS. I'll think about it till it drive me crazy just to prove you wrong.
So if anyone has any specific knowledge about inside a muffler, please let me know. Let me know the basics. Tell me how my idea is pointless or can't or won't work, and if you're really smart tell me why. I would love to hear from people who work in the exhaust industry.
Thanks all, and especially Cliffmac,
Googled "Exhaust Valve" and found an article on GM.
"To mitigate this difference, a pressure-activated valve in the muffler adjusts the exhaust path to deliver an appropriate amount of noise reduction. It was found that such an exhaust system had packaging limitations that precluded its use in the Buick Ranier, which has a shorter wheelbase than the vehicles currently slated to receive DOD."
Looks like I'm not the only one thinking about it.

I know this site has a how to clean power valves, But! I just spoke with a person @ Polaris about the power valves and how to clean them.
He stated that the best they had used is oven cleaner, yes. that's right oven cleaner.
The trick is to heat the valve up spray the oven cleaner on the valve and wrap a wetted rag with oven cleaner on the valve and keep doing this until all the carbon breaks free.
He also stated that wet valves don't stick - dry valves stick, like a frying pan.

Was this person a dealer or a Polaris employee, I've heard numerous times that oven cleaner works the best but it is bad for the coating on the valves. I use a product called CLEENS from GM Goodwrench, it's labeled a "combustion chamber cleaner" works real good.

Maybe unrelated but after a year of valve issuews with my 03 Pro x 800, I found a little tip of my own. When pulling the bellows and valve out I noticed that the hole in the cylinder that pressurizes the bellow was half covered by the stock gasket. After trimming the gasket hole to match the hole in the bellows manifold the valve performance seems much more consistent. While you're at it, when you have the valve out take a drill, 1/8" I think and thread it down that pressure hole carefully while twisting clockwise and you'll be amazed at the carbon you get out of that port. Seems to really wake up the action of the valves noticeably.

The best way to clean ur valves is use Kleen-Flo carb cleaner,not in the spray but in bulk.I have a speacial container that I fill and set the valves in just so the valves r in the solution and leave for 24 hours,take out and wipe with a rag.

I spoke a person named JR who works for Lube Tech (the makers of Polaris oils and some of the Arctic Cat oils) they work hand in hand with each other.
Polaris tells them what they want and Lube Tech designs the oil to suit they're needs.
JR told me to heat the power valve, then apply oven cleaner and keep doing this until all the carbon is free - the trick is to get the valve hot.
I use cleaning the inside of my MC 800 yesterday trying to clean up some of the carbon build up and it did'nt seem like any time before yesterday that the cleaner were doing they're jobs - until I found out that the engine must be really warm/hot to wrinkle the carbon build up and I guess that holds true to the valves also.
When I cleaned my RMK 800 power valves (I had no problem with sticking, just checking every thing out on the engine) I did the old dipped the power valve into lacquer thinner let it sit, scrap with something dull, well that sound good but did'nt work.
I ended up using a hand brass wire brush, platte knief (dull) scotch brit, WD40 and more lacquer thinner, the results yes they are clean but they do have polished areas and I really took my time doing them.
For some reason the PTO side was much worse than the MAG side and when the valve came out the sides were not as nice as the MAG side - there were some scratches along the sides that removed the coating.
Getting back to the question no the oven cleaner is not s'pose to remove the coating.
I tried 3 different oils in its short life (under 200 miles) Klotz, VESII and Blue Marble - I checked each time I switched over how the pistons looked as well as the cyllinders and power valves and I have to say that the VESII was cleaner than the other two oils and that the Blue Marble left the hard carbon build up on the tips of the power valves.
Blue Marble also left carbon build up on my spark plugs on my MC 800 (EFI) oil pump set @ factory setting and is right on the mark.
I am not cutting down Blue Marble or Klotz but after using them and inspecting them I think, infact I know that the factory oils are the way to go - inless you want to guess work the jetting and oil pump settings and the factory has already done that for you.

I forgot to tell you - pull a good coat of oil on the valves before you put them back in - remember carbon does not stick to a oily surface.
JR also told me to set the oil pump one tick to the rich side - because the oil ratio from idle to 3/8 throttle is pretty lean he said and the extra oil will help coat the power valves.
Most of the problem with the power valves is at lower rpm's he stated

I was thinking of using a "FINE" grade wire wheel on the bench grinder I have tried it on soft metals and can not even make it mark up at all just seems to polish to my eyes and touch. Any other wire brush experience or concerns?

Hey Yamadoo
I tried a hand held brass brush and I do not believe that took any finish off the power valve - but, I do have on the pto side power valve some polished areas.
If I was to get new power valves I would use only the oven cleaner method.
I was told by JR that there is a kit available for 04 down, same one used on the 05's.
I would oil the Heck out of the power valves putting them back in.
I would also say this stick with OEM oils the others are not worth the time and expense.
If I can say something about other oils I have tried many a oil brands by use of my lawn equipment - they have no coolant, no power valves, takes shorter time for the oil to get to key areas and all of the oils I have used worked well in a leaf blower or weed wacker or chain saw. But! when you get them in the snowmobile engine thats a different story.
Amsoil Interceptor (I had a bottle laying around) I mixed @ 50-1 and ran it in my weed wacker yesterday, it left a lot of film on the piston tops but cleaned up with a q-tip right down to the metal (and that baby was smoking hot - ran it for over 2 hours) so that should work good in the power valves machines.

Amazon Takes Aim At Netflix With Two Original Drama Pilots
Amazon, following Netflix's lead, will soon start production on two hour-long original drama series to be available on Prime Instant Video and LoveFilm in early 2014.
In an attempt to mimic Netflix's drama success with shows like House of Cards, and Orange Is the New Black, Amazon Studios has greenlit two drama pilots. One pilot, called The After, comes from The X-Files creator Chris Carter, while the other, Bosch, comes from Michael Connelly and Eric Overmyer (Overmyer previously wrote for The Wire).
For its shows, Netflix looked at data to determine what would be popular with viewers. Amazon will instead produce the pilots and then crowdsource public opinion to gauge if it should move forward in production.

I'm assuming MY car and any of the "American" cars (discussed and pictured, above) were all manufactured in the same factory...and I was also of the impression that ALL 2004 325i's supplied to North America were affected.
Am I wrong on both counts? Any follow-up, especially from anyone with a TSB number or experience with performing this fix in Canada, greatly appreciated!
I'm in Canada (BC) and have a 2004 325i. Never rec'd a recall notice but when I asked to set up an appointment at the dealer's (suspension inspection) I was told there was a recall on my car for the taillights and they would do that while the car was in.
I aleady did the DIY repair but figured they may as well go in there and replace the parts. It's free and the car will be in there anyways.

Rocktagon – Asking Alexandria VS Smile Empty Soul
Every night it seems Asking Alexandria can't be stopped in GRD's Rocktagon. After 13 wins in a row, they have a right to feel confident. Tonight they go for another victory as they take on the latest from Smile Empty Soul.
Asking Alexandria have dispatched all challengers thrown at them so far with their single "The Death of Me." The English metal rockers are currently on the road promoting their latest album, From Death to Destiny.
Smile Empty Soul will release their sixth studio album, Chemicals, on October 1. Frontman Sean Danielson says of the record, "We actually recorded all the basic tracks all together in the studio, so the record is gonna have kind of a half live, half studio feel. We also made the album in a week and a half, so it's been quite a crazy ride."
Listen to first single "False Alarm" below and vote for who you think should move on.

True, the people in here tend to be wimpy and they let DBS tell them what to do.

DBS should be thankful for what his father bought him.
A house is a very generous gift.

Hey John, that's what the normal people who have JOBS do!!

I like this one the best. It's got skylights, radiant floor heat, and central vacuum. Lots of Redwoods, and a small, spring-fed pond right off of the deck. with a splendid view of the valley.
Best of all, it's PAID FOR!!!

Ian Gomez is scheduled to kick things off as a doctor on tonight's Grey's Anatomy (ABC, 9 ET/PT), followed by Cox and Christa Miller as a lesbian couple at a fertility clinic on Private Practice (ABC, 10 ET/PT).
With so many entertainment choices these days and network promotional budgets often focused on just a few programs, shows have to find ways to market themselves, executive producer Bill Lawrence says. Since Cougar Town isn't on the air now, "we decided it might be funny to say our cast is going to be on in the fall more than any other cast."
Cox is game for the gimmick: "I thought it was hysterical. Bill and the writers have always been great about figuring out ways to keep people aware of our show even when we're not on TV."
Almost all the roles are designed to be uncredited, non-speaking appearances for a cast that also includes Dan Byrd, Josh Hopkins, Busy Philipps and Brian Van Holt. To date, 13 shows are on board, says Lawrence, who hopes eventually to have more than 20. Series include:
•ABC:Body of Proof,Castle,Dancing With the Stars,Man Up! and The Middle
•CBS:How I Met Your Mother
•Nick Jr.:Yo Gabba Gabba!
NBC's Parenthood and CBS' 2 Broke Girls are also likely.
In return, Cougar Town's writers and actors, some of whom have thousands of Twitter followers, will tweet to promote their appearances.
Lining up appearances on other programs, especially on competing networks, can be tricky, but relationships forged by Lawrence, Cox and others over their years in the business reaped rewards. The Mother role is reciprocation of sorts for when Scrubs creator Lawrence allowed star Sarah Chalke to appear on the CBS show, he says.
"The fun thing is that if you can get to this point, the idea behind it, as writers and creators, is that we can help each other out," Lawrence says.

and do i need to lift the engine first before trying to unscrew the alternator bracket? please check out the picture below for the 2 bolts...thanks man, i really appreciate your help.
hey bro anytime...good job
you can first unbolt one bolt thats holding those 2 metal pipes under bracket that supply oil to tranny so you have better access...
there are 3 more torx bolts holding bracket and after you take that off there is one 15/16 or 17mm bolt holding it but its all the way behind the motor mount bracket....
you have to have a jack and raise lower the engine and go from side of the car(driver side wheel off) with extension and flexible joint extension to release other 2 bolt far back...those 2 in the front one you got is either lower one and get the upper one from top....
here is a pic of how much space you get when you jack up the engine from bottom..

Harsheel Shah (Economics and Accountancy 2005) is our alumni group coordinator for Tanzania.
Harsheel says: "A decade ago, when I started thinking about my undergraduate studies, the Tanzanian education system was relatively weak. Inspired by my brother's previous academic success in London, I resolved to pursue my undergraduate degree in the U.K.
My dream crystallized in 2002 when I started attending City University London for a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Accountancy. I knew, at that time, there would be plenty of challenges that I would face as it was my first ever independent stay, away from my family. My time spent studying abroad was a process of self-discovery for me. I learnt a lot of things about myself and others through this international experience that I would never have learnt if I had stayed back home.
After a successful three years at City I returned to Tanzania and started work at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the largest professional services organisation in the world. Starting off as an associate I was rapidly promoted up several levels with consistently outstanding performances. While working for PwC, I simultaneously studied for ACCA exams. I ended up achieving a worldwide bronze medal in the final exams and winning worldwide prizes in two individual papers. These achievements are a tribute to how well City has groomed me to face challenges both at the workplace and in higher study levels.
In 2010, after more than four years with PwC, I felt it was time to move onto something that I had always aspired to do. I joined my father's business. The business deals with textiles and garments manufacturing and promotional printing. We are the leading company in Tanzania in our field and our vision is to cater for the needs of customers by providing quality products and services at reasonable prices, coupled with good after sales service to attract loyalty. I eventually hope to list my company on the local stock exchange and start exporting the products and services to other countries.
As a Tanzanian born and brought up, the country holds a special place in my heart. I have always wanted to return and give back to the country that made me what I am. I have the same passion for City . By being an international contact for City, I have the opportunity to inform and enlighten fellow Tanzanians on why studying abroad is good and why City is the right place to do it. I feel being an international contact will fulfil both my goals of giving back to my country and to my alma mater.
Some of the ways in which I would like to do this are:
- Assisting City representatives from London and being a common point of contact between locals and the institution.
- Participate in career fairs and promote City as the place to study
- Hold counselling sessions/seminars with prospective students on what studying abroad would mean for them, their careers and how best to prepare for it
- Create awareness of the City brand among locals through word of mouth, blogs and social networks".

The Minnesota B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Youth State Tournament of Champions (TOC) is not just a fishing tournament; the event includes a conservation project as well.
Last summer's event, June 24, 2011, incorporated a boat wash to remove invasive species from fishing boats, as well as a lesson for the youth on the subject. Representatives from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources taught a session about the impacts of invasive species in our lakes and rivers, as well as how to help prevent the spread of such species. The educational program focused on Eurasian milfoil, zebra mussels and the spiny water flea.
After learning about the nuisance species, the youth put all the boats that were a part of the tournament through the Boat Wash Station to remove the threat of spreading any invasive species to or from Lake Minnetonka.
The tournament itself was a win for many. The top competitors were Cason Hiers in the 11- to 14-year-old age group with a weight of 9.98 pounds and Nathan Molitor in the 15- to 18-year-old age group with a weight of 11.74 pounds. Both went on to compete at the 2011 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Northern Divisional Junior Championship. Molitor also wont the Top Hook award, which is presented to the angler who has the largest weight for a five-fish limit.
Other winners included Michaela Anderson and Keenan Reed, who won Sport Person of the year for their age division. Anderson serves as a mentor to an at-risk child, has taken the governor of Minnesota on guided fishing trips and is a past State Fishing Champion. Reed, also a past State Fishing Champion, teaches children to fish at multiple events and provides fishing books to inner-city youth reading classes.
In the TOC Team Awards, the Bassin Boys took first place, followed by the Gopher Club and the Bassinators.

Klum's pricey pins
Page Tools
Supermodel Heidi Klum's legs have been valued at more than $2.58 million, it was announced today.
The German beauty's perfect pins were assessed on their length, shape, rarity and commercial value by a jewellery specialist.
"Having valued static objects for 15 years, it makes a refreshing change to be asked to value something living, and I certainly admired the exquisite lines of this piece," said John Souglides from auction house Phillips De Pury & Company.
The firm was asked to value the 31-year-old's legs as she is promoting Braun's new hair-removal product and a STG1.1 million ($A2.84 million) price tag was placed on her legs.
Braun now plan to insure Heidi's legs for the duration of their campaign.
Souglides used the principles of jewellery valuation to assess the model's legs.
He said: "Phillips De Pury has been in the valuation business since 1796.
"Although we have valued some unusual and unique pieces in that time, this is the first time we have ever been asked to value a body part and we were intrigued by the challenge Braun set us."

There is no doubt the level of violence in Iraq has dramatically dropped, but does that guarantee there will be peace in the troubled nation? A chief aide to Turkey's Foreign Minister told several American websites such as those run by the Foreign Policy Council there may be a false sense of optimism on the part of US leaders. Ahmet Davutogu, warned that ethnic and religious differences among Iraq's diverse population still exist and are bound to flare up again when American forces leave Iraq. He identified three issues which reflect confusion on the part of Iraq's leaders. First, said Davutogu, is is very unclear as to whether Iraq has been able to develop a coherent national identity. He argued without a national identify there could not be national security and expressed doubts as to whether the new Iraq army has reconciled in its composition the ethnic and religious differences within the country.
The Turkish diplomat suggested it is important to assist Iraq by helping the nation to build a national sense of unity because if that fails and violence once again erupts, the result will be felt in all nations within the region. His points are well taken. As of this date, Prime Minister Maliki's government continues to refuse bringing into the government and armed forces the Sunni minority. Unless that occurs, there will once again be large scale terrorism which, undoubtedly, will provoke repressive action against the Sunnis.

Zine Review: Operations Manual vol. VIII
The world is full of information that I wasn't aware of, and wasn't aware that I needed to know. After reading Operations Manual VIII: Die Auferstehungs-Ausgabe I am now able to levitate, make an Illuminati pyramid hat for my cats, create a secret society, plan my next Deer Island vacation and win the "ten people who claimed to be Jesus" quiz on Family Feud.
Seriously (?) I have to ask myself: how cool is this zine? And how cool is it that Marc sent me four issues?
If the old cliche variety is the spice of life is true, then Operations Manual is the spice of zines. Graphs, charts, comics, sarcasm, a fuck-it list (I'll do it in the next lifetime) ... there's a lot of creative content packed into issue VIII. Not sold on this zine yet? It's free. Check out the link in the sidebar.
More reviews of Operations Manual to come. Piece Out.

The Mt. Juliet's annual Independence Day fireworks display has been moved to tonight (Friday, July 5) at 9 p.m. after soggy weather washed out the scheduled celebration July 4.
City of Lebanon's July 4 fireworks display at the Jame E. Ward Ag Center was also postponed with an eye toward moving the event to Wednesday, Sept. 11 -- Patriot's Day.
The Sept. 11 date was the closest "patriotic event" to Independence Day and will feature all the usual music and food activites associated with the July 4 celebration.
Watertown went ahead with its annual Squirtgun Parade on a rainy July 4, but put the fireworks display on hold for the time being.

Nov. 1, 2009
When Tennessee took the field Saturday night to face South Carolina wearing black jerseys for the first time since 1921, fans inside Neyland Stadium reacted with surprise.
And that wasn't entirely limited to fans, either.
But nearly everyone aside from those involved with the football program and UT athletic director Mike Hamilton had no idea about the Vols' plans until Saturday. And many didn't find out until the team took the field.
As the rumors swirled during the week - as they have for months - Montario Hardesty and Eric Berry lobbied Hamilton for the jerseys on behalf of the team.
Hamilton granted permission Wednesday and contracted a local manufacturer to produce the jerseys. Hamilton approved the change Friday night after seeing the jerseys for himself.
"I try to be an athletic director that's receptive to our student-athletes," Hamilton said.
UT coach Lane Kiffin said they had an effect.
"It's a players game, and our players had been begging for them for a while," Kiffin said. "I think it gave us some energy."
Linebacker Rico McCoy, for one, liked the change.
"They had the whole team hyped," he said. "They definitely energized the team."
Just don't look for the black jerseys again anytime soon.
"Our colors are orange and white," Hamilton said. "Introducing black jerseys for this unique game should in no way be interpreted as a move away from our traditional colors."
Another Big Day for Big Dan: Defensive tackle Dan Williams continued a run of strong performances Saturday against the Gamecocks.
Williams finished with four tackles, including a sack. He also recovered a fumble and recorded three quarterback hurries.
Those performances are starting to add up, and they could pay dividends when the NFL Draft rolls around in April.
"It all starts with Dan," Kiffin said. "He's making himself a lot of money."
Do It All: Chad Cunningham handled all the kicking duties Saturday and made his first career field goal, a 39-yarder in the fourth quarter that put the Vols up 31-13.
Cunningham had an earlier attempt blocked, marking three straight blocked attempts for the Vols dating to last week's loss at Alabama.
Cunningham averaged 44.7 yards on his seven punts. South Carolina didn't have a return longer than 21 yards, although a touchdown was called back because of a block in the back behind the play.
Injury Update: Linebackers LaMarcus Thompson and Savion Frazier both left the game in the second half, and Kiffin did not have an immediate update following the game.
Defensive end Chris Walker (back) did not play, while kicker Daniel Lincoln (quadriceps) also missed Saturday's game.
Follow the Vols on Twitter @UTAthletics, and read Drew Edwards' blog, The Inside Source.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Playing a man down for the final 25 minutes, Campbell earned a 2-2 draw with UNC Greensboro Saturday night at the Eakes Athletic Complex.
The Camels (1-6-2) took a two-goal lead, only to concede a pair to UNCG (5-5-1) within a 6-minute stretch late in the second half. Campbell, however, earned a point despite the fact that senior back Eduardo Rodriguez saw his second yellow card of the match with 4:53 left in the second period.
Ricki Gaez put the Camels in front in the 14th minute; then Jhuvon Francis' low driven cross was deflected into the UNCG net in the 20th. Campbell nearly added another in the 69th minute when Justin Franz' dipping right-footed shot from outside the area banged off the cross bar.
However, Austin Miller set up Rouven Wahlfeldt in the 73rd; then scored the equalizer in the 79th. Miller nearly added a winner with 2:30 left in the second half when he broke free in the Camel end, but his shot from the left side of the box missed inches wide of the right post.
Campbell and UNCG drew for the second-straight time, following a 1-1 deadlock in 2010 at Greensboro.
After being out-shot 7-4 in the opening period, Greensboro finished with a 17-12 advantage in shots, 13-5 after half-time.
Campbell jumped in front when Bryce Miller re-directed a pass down the left flank to Reafe Anderson, who dribbled into the UNCG third and found Isaiah Page. Page then squared the ball across the box to Gaez, who poked in a right-footed shot for his second goal of the year.
About six minutes later Francis beat his defender down the right flank and sent a low pass across the face of the goal that Greensboro defender Hugo Coicaud accidentally deflected into his own net.
Half-way through the first period Dustin Gamradt got behind the Camel back line, but keeper Ethan Hall left his feet to tip the ball over his bar.
Two minutes into the second half UNCG's Brian Graham bent a free kick over the wall, forcing Hall to parry it over the bar for a corner. In the 49th minute, Franz played a low ball into the area, but Griffin kept the CU lead at two with a reaction save on Francis' point-blank shot.
A pair of counter attacks produced both UNC Greensboro goals. Wahlfeldt played the ball to Miller near the top of the area, then scored off the return pass into the lower left corner of the Camel net. The equalizing strike came when Fields crossed from the right flank and Wahlfeldt touched the ball on to Miller at the top left corner of the box. He then curled a right-footed shot into the far side of the net for his first goal of the season.
