i want that chrome gas cap for my EXT, where can i buy one at?
those fuel doors are all over 300.00
I Don't want the locking ones, i just want the chrome one with the Bolts around it, my cussin has it on his, he gave 100.00 bucks at a speed shop for it, thats the one i want.
so then why don't you just go there? getting mine from the dealer through www.smacadillac.com, costs $180. see 'billet door handles' thread for pic
because he is in Miami & i'm in Vermont.

he won't, we not really on speaking terms right now, but i should have taken a pic when i was there! i'm a dumass
Well, I got my fuel door from SMA today, and can say I'm very happy with it, the chrome is flawless, and the hinge mechinism is very smooth. My truck is getting detailed today, so I will probably be installing it this evening. Let you know how it goes.
Everytime i look for the SMA Gas Cap i can't see the picture of it, anyone have another site for it? & how much is it?
post a pic of it after you get it installed.Quote:

if you get a chance to take a pic with your whole truck, post it. i want to see how it flows with everything else.
Yeah, I plan on taking pics as soon as I feel I'm finished with the exterior mods. I got the chrome door handle buckets, and I'm waiting on the pulls, chrome tow hooks, and smoked taillights. Hopefully everything will be on there in the next week and a half or so. Oh yeah, in case I didn't mention it, this is all going on my Denali, my Escalade is a 2000.
that looks just like the one my cousin has, but he gave 100.00
dose anyone know where i can find them for that price?
& i wanted those Smoked Tail Lights or tail light cover for my 03 EXT but i cant seem to find any on the net.

The 2012 NFL Draft is of utmost importance to the rebuilding of the struggling Cleveland Browns franchise. With 13 draft picks, the Browns have the ability to change those misfortunes overnight.
Considering that picks after the first round tend to be generally more unreliable, the Browns are in good position to add three key pieces to the puzzle as they hold three of the top 37 picks.
There are multiple scenarios that include the Browns acquiring even more picks in the top 50 if they trade down and out of the No. 4 overall selection. While that is not the focus of this article, I am strongly in favor of a scenario that would garner more first, second and third-round picks in the process.
If a trade down does occur, the probably pick for the Browns should be Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd. Floyd, to some evaluators, is the top wide receiver prospect in the draft. However, in my opinion and in many others', that honor goes to Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon.
Best Option at No. 4: Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State
Rationale: The Browns desperately need a big play receiver and Blackmon is the best this draft has to offer. Much like A.J. Green a year ago, Blackmon's wing-span and athletic ability will give him an unfair advantage over the majority of defensive backs in the NFL.
His large, strong frame is a prototype for an NFL receiver. Too often college receivers fail at the NFL level because of an inability to beat press coverage off the line. Blackmon's ability to do just that is a vital attribute in the Browns' quick strike West Coast Offense.
According to Sports Illustrated's NFL Senior Writer Peter King, "GM Tom Heckert loves Blackmon and that would be his pick." He also said the Browns were deciding between Tannehill and Blackmon with the No. 4 pick.
Others believe running back Trent Richardson would be the best move here for the Browns. To address that notion I have a few reasons for my preference of Blackmon over Richardson:
1. Excellent second day running back options.
2. The lack of employment of a feature back by recent championship NFL teams.
3. The Browns offense design. It is a quick strike offense that imbalances defenses and sets up the run by an effective short-to-intermediate passing game.
4. Wide receiver is a glaring flaw in the Browns offense.
5. Running backs are traditionally easier to obtain in later rounds.
Secondary options:Trent Richardson, Ryan Tannehill, Morris Claiborne
Best Option at No. 22: Cordy Glenn, OG/OT, Georgia
Rationale: The quarterback debate is a moot point if there is not an anchor on the right side of the offensive line. A disaster last season comprised of plug-and-play linemen at right tackle led to a tough year for second-year quarterback Colt McCoy.
Enter Cordy Glenn.
Glenn is the third highest rated offensive linemen in this draft and will instantly upgrade the right side of the offensive line. His large size and athleticism projects him to be capable of transitioning to right tackle in the NFL.
At the No. 22 spot, this is too good to be true for the Cleveland Browns. After adding the premier wide receiver in the draft, snagging Glenn here to bolster the line is the ideal move.
Glenn's wing-span, size and strength will greatly help the Browns against the grueling defenses they face six games a year against their brutal AFC North divisional foes.
Secondary options: Jonathon Martin, Whitney Mercilus, Kendall Wright
Best Option at No. 37: Doug Martin, RB, Boise State
Rationale: The decision to take Martin here will likely be the preference of Heckert on draft day. Martin exhibits similar size and strength shown by top tier running back Trent Richardson. Luckily for Cleveland, he will likely be available at this point in the draft and will not cost the team their valuable top 5 pick.
Martin's initial quickness, cutback vision and burst through the line are very comparable attributes of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice.
That isn't where the comparisons end.
Another name you might recognize is Maurice Jones-Drew. Like Jones-Drew, Martin never stops churning his legs and fighting for extra yards. He frequently blows through arm tackles and extends plays after initial contact. He doesn't seem to have game-breaking speed but certainly has the quickness and vision to find space and rack up yardage.
At a closer look, Martin has solid hands in the short passing game and exhibits excellent field vision after the catch. Not only that but he is a willing and able blocker and could perform adequately in third down situations.
Secondary options: Bobbie Massie, Alshon Jeffrey, Zach Brown
Not only are all three of these picks on the offensive side of the ball, but they can be solid starters who will be able to contribute from day one.
Although there is a strong rationale for any scenario, I believe this to be the most beneficial in the long term for the Cleveland Browns. The running back position doesn't suffer as big of a drop off after Trent Richardson as many seem to think.
With the selections of Blackmon, Martin and Glenn, the Browns offense can begin to take steps towards climbing out of the AFC North basement in 2012.
As for the defense, Heckert has a third, two fourth and two fifth-round picks at his disposal. He'll likely address depth at cornerback, outside linebacker and defensive end somewhere in the middle rounds of the draft.
Honestly, though, whatever does happen on the evening of April 26, the Browns will take yet another positive step forward.
Tom Heckert's done a solid job thus far. You should take solace in that as you ready the tailgate for next Thursday night.
I know I sure do.

like you 4 jaw, mine was on a bike too,
first day with my bike liscense,and a new to me 1974 honda 750 four all tricked out,for a little tour to the next town.
i took off up a long street (age 18 at the time) am really moving, pass whatever was there, slow at the stop sign , and pull in to the candy store for a pop.
when i get out, who was there?can you say p-o-l-i-c-e- m-a-n??
didn't exactly know what to say so i just said hi.
first he took me back to the car and showed me the radar gun -102 m.p.h.. he said he had me for passing 2 cars in a no passing zone,while crossing railway tracks,in a residential area , at 102 m.p.h. and he could take my liscense NOW for at least two years.
he almost laughed aloud when he seen i just registered the bike and paid for my bike drivers liscense THAT DAY!!! I said nothing.
He passed me back my paperwork and said " i GUESS THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY" I thought i heard him , but was afraid to say what?
he said that he knew it was me , but he could not i.d.me or the bike , and he would let me keep my liscense because he felt for me (first day and all) and says , besides, we'll meet again soon ,and he said he hoped i was still alive then also.
that struck home to me and i only really went fast after that when i was drunk. (no) lol mike

I would like to join Professor Malpass (Your Shout, June 4) in calling for more articles about the present housing crisis in the UK.
As a council tenant and regular Guardian reader, I have been frustrated by the Guardian' s lack of coverage. Finishing off what Thatcher started in 1980 with Right to Buy, the present government is trying to offload all its remaining stock to housing associations, arms length management organisations and private finance initiatives.
There are sound financial arguments put forward by Defend Council Housing (defendcouncilhousing.org.uk) for halting this process. It is also having a very detrimental effect on tenants, who are being bamboozled into voting for transfer under enormous pressure from local councils who, themselves, are under pressure from government.
Council tenants have been denied the right to feel any sense of pride in our homes. To be a council tenant in Britain in 2005 is to live with a sense of stigma and social exclusion.

Home-owning is for all of us
As a first-time buyer struggling to afford my own home I was angered to read Anne Wilks's letter enforcing the rather snobbish view that home-owning is not for everyone.
Presumably our status in society makes key workers like myself unable to cope with the responsibility of home-owning.
That responsibility falls on the shoulders of the buy-to-letters who keep our homes in appalling condition while charging exorbitant rents and driving prices so high that people like us (the low-paid) cannot get a foot on to the property ladder.

Isas should be a special case
I took out an Isa with Alliance & Leicester in April 2000. For the first three years, interest was added to my account annually. This year, the annual statement did not arrive so I telephoned and was told that my account had been rendered dormant as there had been no movement in or out for three years.
Apparently a letter had been sent to me asking if I wished to continue with the account. I have no recollection at all of having received this letter.
I was told that in order to reactivate the account I needed to go to the local office with two items of identification. Since I am in my late 80s and severely disabled this was very difficult for me. But, having achieved this I was then informed that no interest could be added to the account until May 2006.
Following calls and letters to Alliance & Leicester, the interest has now been added. I feel I have had to go through a lot of inconvenience through no fault of my own. Alliance & Leicester refers to guidelines from the British Bankers Association and says that the procedure is for security reasons. But surely an Isa is looked upon as a long-term investment and should be treated differently.

Recycling car parts not new
Last week, Jobs & Money referred to the "launch of a pilot scheme allowing insurers to use second-hand spares to repair crash vehicles".
This is nothing new. A similar scheme was introduced in the 90s. The company I then worked for (Eagle Star) ran it for several years. In addition, GA - now part of Aviva - had a specific recycling scheme where it took parts from vehicles it wrote off. These schemes failed, not just because the customers didn't want the parts fitted but also because the parts had to be separately sourced, leading to various headaches - including those associated with guaranteed availability. In fact, this new scheme seems inferior to the old one.

It's easy to make a claim
Since retiring as a debt recovery unit manager for Barclays Bank and spending two years on secondment to the Consumer Credit Counselling Service, I have been using my experience to try and help people with debt dispute problems.
People are afraid of making an endowment claim themselves, yet it is not a difficult matter. What it needs is a gathering of all the correspondence by the claimant, to then write to the lender/ broker/endowment company and try and establish which route the claim is to go down.
From then on, it is just a matter of pressing for action on a regular basis and filling in forms as necessary. I am staggered by the amount of companies that seem to have arisen to make endowment claims. I have seen a few advertise on television, yet the only way these companies can get their money back is off the claims people are making as no costs can be added to a claim under normal circumstances.
I view debt management companies and endowment claim companies in the same light; businesses trying to take advantage of a con sumer who is not aware that in the case of debt management, CCCS is a free, subsidised service. All it needs is persistence and an ability to fill in forms accurately!

£200 fee was good value
We turned to Endowment Justice after failing to get anywhere with Royal and Sun Alliance. We took out our policy before 1988, so I doubted if we'd get any compensation.
Endowment Justice was very competent, correctly identified that Britannia Building Society was the provider we should be claiming against, and to cut a long story short obtained £1,200 compensation. Not a fortune, but ours is a smallish mortgage, and it's £1,200 I had given up hope of obtaining.
Of that they took about £200, but given my failure to get anywhere I consider that to be good value for money.

text: B+ is "battery positive" or 12-14volts. Basically, it's saying "are you getting the same voltage at the fuse as you do on the battery's positive terminal". Generally, a reading of 1 means you're reading above the range of your current setting. Like set for a 2 volt range and trying to display 12 volts...it will just show a 1. Make sure you're on the 20 volt range, DC.

Too much board for a rookie?
Alright, since my last thread and with some great advice, it looks like I've narrowed my choice to a 162 wide Gnu Carbon Credit. The problem is now I'm seeing lots of boards going on sale, and now dropping into my price range, so my question is do I go for more of a board and grow into it, or stay with the beginner board? The other boards I'm now looking at:
161w Gnu riders choice
163w K2 slayblade
163w Ride highlife
The usual stats, 6'1", 245ish, 12.5 boots, and only been out 6 times.
I have the Carbon Credit and thought it was just average until last night when I was boarding on sheets of ice and it consistently / predictably held and edge.
have heard nothing but good things about gnu
My local hill is almost always an ice bowl, so the manga-traction seems like it's the way to go, but the slayblade seems like a board that I can get a good amount of run on.
I do like it, but I'm new so I really don't have anything else to compare it to other than I would have been all over the ice on my skis.
Sorry, I can't help myself when people make a comment like that. The better argument would be that you like to buy American made products due to higher quality.
Imports stimulate our economy and in a lot of cases creates jobs here. But no argument about the many evils of needless outsourcing/off-shoring.
"Keeping your money in the U.S." is an economical myth. Also, these out-of-country factories help reduce the costs of snowboards for a lot of companies. It's a fact you have to deal with if you want lower prices. There is a reason why Lib-Tech and Never Summer snowboards have a premium on their price tag. Two U.S. companies that I fully support due to their high quality products.
OP: The Carbon Credit is a good board and if you ride hardpack/icey conditions a lot, the magnetraction will work well.
If you really want a long term board, the Slayblade and Highlife are great boards. However, if you are just learning, it will make it more difficult. Don't misread that as impossible. You can definitely learn on those two baords, just that you'll have a bit more to work at. They are both very fast and stiff boards so if you think you are prepared for that, pull the triggger. Both are ultimate freeride sticks.
Thanks all, I think the big issue is indeed how fast I'll outgrow the board. While I'm learning now, i live less than 5 minutes from my local mountain and with night riding I hope to be up there at least 2-3 times a week next year.
While the CC is advertised as a board that can take you from beginner to advanced, I think while it may make riding harder at first, the other more advanced boards will have a longer run, and ultimately I need to try to get 3-5 years out of the board.
So far it looks like the Highlife and Slayblade are getting the votes, so does that mean the Riders Choice is something I should stay away from? I was thinking due to the magnetraction it would be a better choice? Is it just way too much of a board for my skill level?

Quite surprised I've never come across this before the other day. It's a manga that takes place within the same Wuxia lore that games like Age of Wushu and Swordsman Online are. Also, TV shows like Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Pretty awesome art, amazing story, SUPERB story-telling - I love how the author takes time to explain things. But the best thing has to be the quality of the translations. They're perfect, they stay true to the original story and make perfect sense. Due to the writing style of the mangaka, I would have thought this would be quite hard to translate. So I was surprised.
If you're a fan of martial arts, and more specifically the Wuxia lore, you'll love this.

65 Skylark with BBC Spring question
I know there are other threads with this going on but I figured I should start my own.
I have a 1965 Buick Skylark, the previous owner said he put some progressive rate drag springs in the front under the 350 SBC that he had in the car.
The ride height was a little high for my taste but that is ok, I dropped a 496 BBC in the car and the ride height dropped to exactly where I wanted it.
However now it has a tendancy to "bottom out" and scrape the oilpan on the ground.
Also if you accelerate quickly and hit the brakes the front end goes from an elevated position then compresses to the bumpstops right away.
Want I want to know is...
How do I figure out what springs I need to keep my lowered ride height but stiffen the springs sufficiently to keep them from bottoming out on the oilpan?
I mean could I just say "I want a set of 1.5 inch lowering springs for a BBC GM A-body" to moog or hotchkiss or something?
There are plenty out there (because it is the same chassis as the chevelle)

Main articles: St. Louis Cardinals award winners and league leaders and St. Louis Cardinals team records
No-hitters: Cardinal pitchers have thrown ten no-hitters: Ted Breitenstein (1891), Jesse Haines (1924), Paul Dean (1934), Lon Warneke (1941), Ray Washburn
(1968), Bob Gibson (1971), Bob Forsch (two, in 1978 and 1983), Jose Jimenez (1999), and Bud Smith (2001). The Cardinals have never been involved in a perfect
game, win or lose.
Cy-Young Awards: Two Cardinal pitchers have won Cy Young Awards: Bob Gibson in 1968 and 1970, and Chris Carpenter in 2005.[14]
MVP Awards: 19 Cardinal players have won Most Valuable Player awards, the most recent being Albert Pujols in 2008. Bob Gibson won both the Cy Young Award and
the MVP award in 1968.[15] The Cardinals are second only to the New York Yankees in Most Valuable Player awards won (22).[16]
Rookie of the Year: Six Cardinals have won the Rookie of the Year award: Wally Moon in 1954, Bill Virdon in 1955, Bake McBride in 1974, Vince Coleman in
1985, Todd Worrell in 1986, and Albert Pujols in 2001.
Hitting for the cycle: 20 Cardinal players have hit for the cycle, the most recent being Mark Grudzielanek in 2005.[17]
Triple Crown: Four of the sixteen Triple Crown of hitting in the major leagues (including three of only six in the National League) were by Cardinals. Tip
O'Neill won the American Association Triple Crown in 1887. Rogers Hornsby became the only two-time Triple Crown winner in NL history when he did it in
1922 and 1925 (Ted Williams won two AL Triple Crowns). Joe Medwick's Triple Crown in 1937 is the last in the history of the National League.[18]
Hornsby's 1925 numbers led the entire major leagues, making him one of only five players to have won this expanded Triple Crown.

Intermittent Low Water Pressure
If anyone would be so kind as to point out what could cause water pressure to be too low, especially if the degree to which it is too low (sometimes it's almost fine!) to change depending on the time and day?
Let me explain: This is a townhouse in northern Virginia. It was just purchased by my future wife, and the previous owners were DIYers...only in the worst kind of way. (We had to shore up a basement joist they simply cut straight through. Apparently they didn't feel it was important. Or the main water shut off, as it was completely walled up.)
Water pressure in the house seems to be fairly good (kinda, sometimes) at off-peak times. So, I could shower without problem at 3:30AM or so. Any other time, if we turn on the washing machine in the basement, you can get a trickle, or nothing at all, in bathrooms on the second floor.
Because the basement was finished by the previous owners, there are sections of plumbing I cannot trace to the hot water heater as it is walled up. I plan to rip down the walls, as I cannot find the PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) that should be installed somewhere in this house. It may not exist, but given that the main water shut off was walled up, I wouldn't put it past the previous owners to wall up the PRV as well.
I've contacted the water company, and they were adamant that the PRV was the cause of my problems, and that it needed adjusted. I wasn't entirely satisfied with their answer, and pushed further, but didn't have proof. I'll explain...
I'm no plumber. I'll DIY a lot of things, but I'm hesitant to work with anything that could cause massive flooding. But before I call out an expensive contractor, I want to know my stuff. My understanding is that a PRV is designed to protect your internal plumbing from high pressure water coming from the city water department. I'm confused how having one set inappropriately could cause a fluctuating issue with low pressure. Were a PRV set too low, to my understanding, the pressure would always be low. The changes in pressure indicate, to me, that pressure is coming into the house at too low a pressure. The fact that both her and I have taken separate showers at the same time before tells me the pipes are capable of supplying pressure high enough to be 'normal'.
So unless there's a gremlin downstairs behind that wall with a wrench, screwing around with a PRV, reducing my water pressure, to extremes around 8am and 6pm, my guess is my water company needs to increase pressure in my area.
Cause really, I'd like to be able to wash the dishes and my clothes at the same time.
A penny for your thoughts?
P.S. I apologize for not being able to search for this prior to posting. I can't yet figure out how to search for two terms at once on this forum. (e.g. "low pressure" or "low flow") Unfortunately just searching for "pressure" turned up 11 pages of results.
fox; Original Poster (OP) Poster #1;
This appears to be a City supply problem. Because, as you pointed out, at off-peak times the water pressure seems to be near normal. But. Additionally, you could have a problem with the PRV. or other plumbing components. I'm surprised that the sloppy, haphazard attempts at doing plumbing work (certainly below proper DIY standards.) didn't come up during Home Inspection!:no:!
check at your meter outside and make sure it is full on. there should be a brass fitting with an arrow pointing towards house. also some localities have a second prv at the meter which may need adjustment. I'm familiar with that area and sometimes your distance from the pump station can cause low press during peak use. do find the one in the house should be close to where water line enters
Thanks for all the advice. I need to find the meter outside. I've no idea where it is in this complex and haven't been able to find it in my searchings.
I'll get a plumber out here as soon as I can.

Internal mic project for acoustic guitar!!
Hi All
....hoping you can help with this one?
Inspired by the MINiflex model 1 MiniFlexMic Microphone am thinking of attempting a home-made version.
The system uses mics that are "mechanically out of phase", which I understand to mean that the face AWAY from one another. So my main Q is, should the mics be OMNI or UNI directional (I'm thinking UNI!!)
On the DIGIKEY site, I found Panasonic-ECG WM-56A103
and wondered if a pair of these might do the job.
Would appreciate your thoughts on this....and also where to get my hold of small quantities of these things in the UK

As stated by Digikey these mics are obsolete meaning they are no longer in production.So it's whether they have leftover stocks or not.
There are plenty of substitutes so just search around.
You play acoustic I assume so the freqency response is important
for reproducing the harmonics so a flat and wide as possible mic should be used,if you look at WM55 it's flat but it starts to roll off at 400hz. and
WM65 is even worse with high frequency peaks up to 16Khz.
So I think you should look for something better witha lower rolloff.
WM55,65 claim a low response of 100Hz. but the frequency plots tell a
different picture.As to whether unidirectional is better then an omni one,
I think it will not matter as much as you are using it "point blank",
will the polar pattern make a difference?.
Most mikes will not go low as it's designed for voice around 200hz/300hz.. and also will not go high either(some up to 10Khz.). If you check WM60A it is an omni but flat from 20hz.to 20Khz.It is a favourite of diy measurement mics for speaker testing.
The closest from WM60A is WM54.See the frequency plots but is an omni.
100hz - 16Khz real flat. Singa

Why not use piezo transducers? I understand that they sound different, so it may not be a good suggestion.

I rechecked WM54 again the frequency response is stated 20hz- 16khz.
so it has a good usable range. It is also a non stock item at Digikey.
It is still an omni mic.You may not need one that goes down to 20hz.
but I think it will perform alot better in the low frequency.Like
I said before it's difficult to get such good specifications even in a
unidirectional mic. if you can find one in the first place. Singa

Attached info as to how AKG would voice a guitar.
The Mini-Flex mics I believe are omnis, I do not know if a unidirectional mic could be built that small (except for very high frequencies). I would like to understand their technical reasons for "mechanically out of phase" (it should be polarity, if anything, not phase, anyway)

You have asked an interesting question,I'm not
a musician nor play any instrument but simply someone who knows a
little electronics and is also interested in how things' work ,what makes
this reality,universe work.In short what is life? Of course this is only my
The attached pdf don't say much about the microphones and their
design.I guess they are saying they make use of electronics and physics/science to improve your ears perception or rather the recording
equipment's ability to record what the human ear will percieve as beautiful
sound.I don't know what they mean by " mechanically out of phase", I guess
they are refering to how sound waves behave when they mix together.
What is music? They are a mix of waves that bounces all over the
place and finally reach your ears and how do the ears percieve them that
makes you think,feel that there is beauty in it?
For this understanding it will require you to see what reality is all about and how you fit into the big picture.I'm sure this will turn upside down
all that you have been taught about the reality you exist or believe in.
Dan Winter is an electrical engineer who has brought this new information about how or why gravity works and it's implications to humans and their environment with regards to life,earth and the universe.
What Dan Winter is saying that all reality is fractal in nature.
If you understand what is a hologram,it's a selfsimilar entity that's let you percieve it as a 3D object.That is if you cut up the hologram into pieces,it will contain a whole miniture of itself.His main hypothesis is that fractality is the cause of gravity which Einstein did not figure out in his time.
So all this information is getting scientists all over the world(only those who are not biased and egoistic) to understand how life and biology work ,the solution to the environmental
and energy crisis/mess we have gotten ourselves in. Finally in our narrow
perspective of how or why we percieve music or sound as beautiful.
So for music to sound good you and the listening environment has to be fractal.
Do you know that the wood that is used in musical instruments are fractal?

Sorry I did not get back to you on this. I was winter hiking in the interior of British Columbia, no phone, no Internet, not TV only AM radio (yes Virginia, there is such a place!) and was it cold!
The reason I think these are omni directional mics is that most unis bring the sound also to the back of the diaphram to achieve the desired unidirectional effect (this can also be done by electronic wizardry). This means a physically larger assembly.
Also, I would shy away from the dual microphone approach. Unless the mics are in close proximity to each other (virtually touching) you will get some nasty comb filtering. All those good folks out there setting up lecterns with the microphones inches apart have stone ears. Comb filters are very noticeable once you know what to listen for.
Cheers, E

Hi Kev
Firstly, Guitar MIC capsule need use Uni-Directional .
Second, it have a good frequency response. As you choosed the digikey capsule is 9.7mm diamater, It is can be used . But right now many DIY or Guitar factory use the 14mm diamater capsule. Because of 14mm has a good frequency response than 9.7mm.
Please check the website in China.
Maybe it has useful.

Proposed SVN patch
comment:1 Changed 9 years ago by alfonsoml
- Keywords Review? added
The patch fixes most of the problems, except some warnings about framespacing, bordercolor and frameborder but they might be trickier to do them properly as the behavior of styles in the framesets sometimes isn't able to fully reproduce the same effects.
So I suggest to fix the main issues and then if someone wants to play with the frames try it, but meanwhile the rest of issues have been fixed.
comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by fredck
- Keywords Review+ added; Review? removed
I would just change the "table.fullHeight" selector to ".fullHeight", just to make it more useful... it could be used elsewhere if needed.
We can leave with the framesets warnings for now, until we work on a File Browser review.
Fell free to make or not that CSS change and commit it directly.

The food we eat affects our health and risk of certain disease. Fit people are fit not because of family heritage or good luck, because they opted for the right or healthy eating habits. To be a fit person, You must opt for a healthy lifestyle and eating habits. By opting good and healthy eating habits one can lead the life, he or she desire and that's healthy too.
For adopting good and healthy diet habits, one have to learn and then practice the habits, then only he or she can enjoy and lead healthy life. Some most
common diet habits to lead healthy life are:
- Make changes in your diet slowly: One should make change his or her diet slowly. Inclusion of fresh fruits and vegetables ,protein rich and complex or whole grain carbohydrate in diet is a good idea.one should have a knowledge of importance of balanced diet.Changes of cooking style like boiling,steaming and shallow frying should keep in consideration.Selection of good oil is also very important.
- Daily menu should be the same mostly:Eat a specific diet particular for breakfast,lunch,and dinner.The people who consume a daily specific menu can keep themselves fit and healthy.Careful eaters mostly pick same menu so that they can have control over the enery and calorie requirement means they tune with their calorie need of their body.When people find foods that deliver what they need and that they enjoy,its easy to be fit and healthy.
- Don't skip breakfast:It's become a common universally that the people who eat breakfast regularly have achieved and maintain a large weight loss.Research have shown that the people who successfully lose weight are those who wake up early and eat breakfast on time.It has also proved that the people who eat breakfast regularly have better vitamin and mineral status and eat fewer calories from fat.As an experts we feel that most of the people who struggle with overeating are those who skip their breakfast.
- Have plenty of water:Have plain and filtered water in plenty to be fit and healthy.Drinking lots of water keep you functioning in homeostasis and helps in normal body functioning.Fit and healthy people drink at least 12 -15 glasses of water everyday.
- Eat small meals at small intervals:Another good eating habit is to eat small meals at frequent intervals. When we don't eat longer that 3 hours,the stress hormone called cortisol's level rises and this high level hormone signal the body to store fat at abdominal region.so the people who skip their meal very frequent ,have high level of cortisol in their body.So eating small meal at small interval keep our body's cortisol level low, which helps to reduce belly fats,hence the weight loss too.Eating smaller meals throughout the day also keeps one's large intake of eating at bay.
- Eat your favorite food carefully instead of avoiding:Don't eliminate your favorite food from your menu,instead have those in a very small amount.Simply eliminating your favorite food will only set them up to fail when the temptation is too high.So they save those moments when binging of favorite food can happen.
- Snacking with healthy foods: Don't keep cookies, ice creams, chips, chocolates and soda in your fridge or in kitchen, instead keep healthy snacks.For that one has to do healthy shopping too.Low fat snacks with whole grain are the good option.
- Limit intake of excess sugar and salt:One should limit the intake of excess sugar and salt in his or her diet.Extra sugar leads to weight gain and high triglycerides level in blood,where as high salt or extra sugar can have a bad effect on blood pressure and water retention problem.
- Don't eat while watching T.V:One should always keep in mind that no eating while watching TV as it makes one to eat in large quantity without noticing and leads to weight gain problem.So have your meal in a peaceful environment with ease and proper chewing, which helps in digestion and proper absorption of nutrients.

Rome, Italy, Jun 17, 2013 / 10:30 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The temporary selection of a prelate for the so-called Vatican Bank shows Pope Francis is waiting for the advice of the cardinals he tapped as advisors before deciding the fate of the financial institute, according to a source in the Vatican's Secretariat of State. The appointment of the prelate "must not be charged too much with expectations of a reform. The Pope needed to fill a post and wanted to give a signal that he … [Read more...]
Economy, politics must serve man, Pope tells G8
Vatican City, Jun 17, 2013 / 08:05 am (CNA/EWTN News).- In a message to Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, Pope Francis underscored that the "material and spiritual welfare" of every person must be the impetus behind political and economic efforts to remedy the economic crisis and help the poor. The goal of both economics and politics, the Pope said in his June 15 letter, "is to serve humanity, beginning with the poorest and most vulnerable wherever they may be, … [Read more...]

Hi there! I'm Soraya. I'm seventeen years old and am a proud Muslim British Bangladeshi. I live in East London and have loved reading and writing from a young age. I'm rather obsessed with Harry Potter (aren't we all?), tea (not a surprise considering I'm a Brit) and good grammar. Recently, I've also got into the Supernatural fandom. After watching the first episode, I had already fallen head over heels in love with Sam Winchester, so it's no surprise that I am now a huge SPN fangirl as well as a Potterhead.
My writing has changed quite a bit over the years, and I think you'll probably notice that, the further down my author page you go, the more the quality seems to drop :P I started posting stories on here at the age of fourteen, and at nearly eighteen, I can see how much my writing has improved since those Dark Ages. So, for that reason, I would advise you stick to the more recent stuff, if you choose to read anything of mine.
My Stories
Just so you know, these are posted firstly according to what kind of pairing, if any, is in the story, and then in chronological order in accordance to my own canon, not necessarily the order in which they were posted.
Canon Pairings
Checkmate (James/Lily)
My first chaptered fic. It's terribly written, but I still have a place in my heart for it because of how much fun it was to write. This story has now been deleted on MNFF, but if you really, really want to read it, you can still find it on FF.net and HPFF. (I advise you don't, though :P)
Second Childishness and Mere Oblivion (James/Lily)
Written for Round One (Major Characters) of Madam Pomfrey's Character Clinic Triathlon, this one-shot is about James and Lily's relationship getting rockier and rockier after they left Hogwarts, especially when Lily is faced with the trials of being a wife and motherhood. A little smutty.
My Love is Always Here (James/Lily)
This was a belated birthday present for the wonderful Gina/Gmariam, aka the queen of James/Lily. This is mostly about Lily dealing with becoming a mother for the first time and the problems (as well as the joys) that come with that.
There's an Answer (Remus/Tonks)
Written for Sophie/The owl for SPEW Summer Swap IV. Tonks is sent on an interesting baby Auror assignment to do with werewolves. Remus and a dangerous Muggle are thrown into the mix, with interesting results.
Left Behind (Remus/Tonks)
An expanded version of one of my LoveNotes, written for SPEW. It's a missing moment set between OOTP and HBP, where in my head canon Remus and Tonks have been together, in secret, for a few weeks already and Remus is then told to go on his werewolf mission. Slightly smutty.
One and Only (Remus/Tonks)
Written for the lovely Alex/Ithinkrabis2people in the Ravenclaw Christmas Drabble Exchange. This is a missing moment set just after Tonks's outburst to Remus in the hospital wing at the end of HBP.
Out of My Life (Harry/Ginny)
My only AU (kind of). I tweaked a small part of canon in this -- basically, Harry actually said goodbye to Ginny properly when he broke up with her. Very angsty, and this is only up for sentimental reasons, as I wrote it during The Dark Ages (aka when I was fourteen).
A Different Kind of Magic (Harry/Ginny)
Written for the You're Having My Baby challenge at SIYE. Ginny finds out she's pregnant, but Harry receives the news before her and therefore has to tell his wife. This was my first ever story at MNFF. It was written when I was thirteen, and it definitely shows.
A Different Kind of Magic 2: Parenthood (Harry/Ginny)
A sequel, obviously, to A Different Kind of Magic. Ginny goes into labour, and both Harry and Ginny realise what it means to be parents. Again, this was written from Back in the Days.
Same-Sex Pairings
The Caustic Ticking of the Clock (Rowena/Helga)
Written for the Great Hall Cotillion, this story is my only Founders story so far, and it's about Rowena and Helga's secret relationship. I am proud of this one, which doesn't usually happen :)
Catching Fire (James/Sirius)
This was written for SPEW 007. My prompt was "Embers", and it's set just after Remus's second transformation with the Marauders. James is badly injured, and he and Sirius realise, inadvertently, that they might just have feelings for each other. I like the pairing but still think the story needs work. One day I will go back and edit.
Flicker and Fail (Katie/Leanne)
This was written forSecret SPEW, and my recipient was the absolutely fabulous Alex/welshdevondragon. It's my take on Leanne and Katie's relationship from way before they were even at Hogwarts as well as what eventually happens to Katie in HBP, when she was cursed.
Next Generation
Skinny Love (Louis/Lily)
Written for the 2013 Great Hall Cotillion. Set during Teddy and Victoire's wedding, Louis helps Lily come to terms with her bulimia. This one was pretty difficult to write.
Blood and Roses (Scorpius/Rose, Scorpius/Dominique, Dominique/OC)
Written for the Great Hall Mysterious Maychallenge, this was my first Next Generation fic about Scorpius, mostly, and the trials he faces after his daughter is murdered.
Broken Glass (Louis/Lily)
This is the story of when Loulily really began. After the deaths of his immediate family, Louis is finding it hard to cope, even six months later. Lily somehow helps. It's a little smutty. I'm proud of this one, too :)
The Highway of Regret (Scorpius/Lily, Scorpius/Rose, Louis/Lily)
Also written for the Great Hall Cotillion. It's my one and only Scily. This is all about secret relationships and mistakes people make. Lily's angry at Louis, and Scorpius has just broken up with Rose; when Lily gets drunk in the pub, things... happen. :P
I Will Lay Down My Heart (Albus/Rose, Scorpius/Rose)
Written for Round Two (Minor Characters) of Madam Pomfrey's Character Clinic Triathlon. Albus has been in love with Rose for years, but what happened with them when they were younger has put a dent in their relationship. It doesn't help that Rose is actually in love with Scorpius, either. This is smutty too.
One More Night (Albus/Rose, Rose/Scorpius)
Companion piece to I Will Lay Down My Heart. This goes into more detail about Rose and Albus's changing relationship as well as the aftermath of the events in said companion story. Probably the smuttiest thing on my page. :D Written for the Great Hall Cotillion 2013.
Glass (Louis/Lily)
This was written for the Great Hall-iday challenge for the Operation: Mistletoe prompt, and this was where my love for Loulily began.
Excruciatingly Painful
This is about how five men in Potterverse dealt with remorse in different ways.
This poem is about how Remus feels about Sirius (not slashy, btw).
Written for the Magic in Music challenge over inPoetry, Anyone? This was set to the track "Obliviate" in DH1 and is about Hermione modifying her parents' memories.
Written for the Goodbyechallenge in Poetry, Anyone? This was about saying goodbye, and how difficult it could be.
After All This Time
Written for the Deathly Hallows challenge inPoetry, Anyone?. I ship unrequited Snape/Lily, and this is probably the only time Snape will be on my author page, lol.
Hush, Dominique
Written for the MC Kreacher challenge inPoetry, Anyone? This was written from the POV of Bill Weasley after his wife's death.
Written for the Great Bannermakers' Hallchallenge. The banner I picked had Merope Gaunt on it, and it's probably my darkest story; it's definitely the only one to have a dubious consent warning. It's about, as you might guess, the abuse Merope suffered from her father and brother.
In Care (Marlene/OC)
Marlene McKinnon, as a care kid, eventually falls in love with another care kid, Jamal Olawumi. But he's a Muggle, and keeping her world secret proves difficult. This is definitely a story I would like to revisit and tidy up.
Just Across the Bar (Sirius/Rosmerta)
Sirius is just about of age, but obviously Rosmerta has misgivings about having feelings for Sirius, who is still a student. Written for the 2013 Great Hall Cotillion and also smutty.
Butterbeer Bottles
Written for SPEW 007. My prompt was "Juggling", and it's just a silly piece of dialogue-only banter between Remus and Sirius. Sirius realises Remus likes Tonks, and he tries to persuade Remus to act on his feelings.
Hanging by a Thread (Katie/Oliver)
Written for the lovely Jess/ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor for Secret SPEW VII. Katie is grieving and drowning her sorrows in alcohol and Oliver is trying his best to save Muggles, while trying also to bury feelings for Katie that he thought he had long since forgotten about. There is also, surprise surprise, some smut in this.
And that's it! Along with being a moderator, I'm also a member of SPEWand SBBC. I hope to see you around on the forums; feel free to contact me via PM or review if you have any questions or comments about my stories!
Aw, this is really sweet! And I like how Rosmerta kind of guessed that Remus was a werewolf because of rumours and stuff, and how she was accepting of him and everything.
I noticed a typo - "her pulled her back towards him" I think you meant "he pulled her back towards him".
I love love love your Marauder Era fics, they're great! In fact, I'm in the middle of The Lions of Gryffindor at the moment, so when I finish reading all of it I'll make sure that I drop you a review.
Last, last, thing - is Apparently Asleep finished yet? I noticed that you haven't updated for a while and I do think that it's one of the best Remus/Tonks fics I've ever read.Please please please update - it would make my day. :D
Author's Response: oooh, thanks for pointing out the typo, I shall get to that immediately. I have a chapter of AA ready to go and it should be appearing this weekend *fingers crossed* Sorry for the hideous delay. November was a bad month for fanfic because I was writing nano things. ~Thank you for the review ~Carole~
In the midst of the war, the Marauders and Lily have joined the Order, resolute in their decision to fight for justice. But times are hard, and soon, even the strongest of loyalties begin to wear thin.
This is lucca4 of Gryffindor writing for the final in the MWPP class on the Beta Boards.
Nominated for a 2011 QSQ - Best Marauder era Story
Oh, wow! Ariana, you are one amazingly talented author!
Being the newest member of SPEW, I just had to look at one of your stories since you're the Featured Author this month and I'm so glad I did. I'm writing Marauder Era at the moment as well (James/Lily) and absolutely adored this piece. The dialogue between Sirius and Remus was interesting and it really reflected the darkness of the time they were going through. The way you portrayed the doubt, and when it got into the Marauders' minds, that was wonderfully done. I think this story was deftly crafted and the whole thing ties in with your title, particularly the end. (What also made me smile -- as well as sigh in relief -- was that there were no typos, which is a lovely change.)
I understand entirely why they began to doubt everything that they believed in. Because in a war, that's what happens. You forget about what's right and wrong just for the sake of saving yourself, and I think that's fully justifiable in the context. I'm really into war stories/fanfics because although I HATE war, it's fascinating to know how people deal with the repercussions of it. What I despise the most about war, and this is something you included in your story very well, is the loss of trust between friends, because of all the corruption that goes on during war.
The only things that I think you could improve on is the obviousness with Peter and the ending. Firstly, I think it's pretty noticeable for Peter to be shuffling papers instead of listening to the conversation, and I'm sure someone noticed that Peter didn't say anything about being propositioned to going over to the Dark side. I think the way you dealt with this was a bit obvious and a better idea, perhaps, would be for Peter to reply, saying pretty much what Remus and Sirius said, so things don't seem quite as suspicious.
The ending, in my opinion, was a bit too ambiguous. I did like it; don't get me wrong, but I just think that you left it a bit too open. Perhaps if you went on just a little bit more, then...anyway, I hope you liked my first SPEW review, Ariana! You're truly a fantastic writer, so well done and keep it up!!
Author's Response: Soraya, it's nice to see you outside of SPEW! Thank you so much for reviewing this story -- it's very thin review-wise and so I'm very happy you did. I dislike war as well, but similarly I like exploring what it does to a person psychologically. Physically, we all know that war can be very painful, but it can also completely change a person (as I think it did with Sirius) and make them do things they wouldn't otherwise necessarily do. I reread the last bit, and I agree it was probably a little noticeable for Peter to be shuffling papers whilst the rest of the Order was arguing vehemently. I think I weighed too heavily on the fact that the Marauders honestly thought that it could never have been Peter and suspected him lastly out of all the others. And to be perfectly honest, I think part of the ambiguity of the ending comes from the fact that it was an assignment for the MWPP class and I'm a terrible procrastinator :D. Thanks so much for the review, again. xx Ariana

I really liked this. Slight nitpick, sorry: "Madam Maxim" should be "Madame Maxime", surely? Other than that, I love how you've explored Charity Burbage's character. I've always been curious about her and I like your characterisation. Nice one!
Author's Response: OOh, thanks for that. I always get the Madam/Madame thing mixed up because Madam Pomfrey doesn't have an e.Thank you for the review. ~Carole~
The irony does not escape Severus Snape as he seeks to gain the favour of the Dark Lord on, of all nights, Christmas. The spectres of days dead and gone spur him on to complete his mission, but can the fond memories stop him from committing an unspeakable act?
This story has been nominated for a 2011 Quicksilver Quill Award: Best Marauder Era Story.
This was a brilliant story. The darkness in it was prominent throughout and I have to say, I always wondered what had happened to Lily's parents. But I thought that JKR said that there was "nothing sinister" about their deaths?
Thanks for writing :)
Author's Response:
Lol, I just explained this in my last review... I'll get to that later.
I wanted this to be a dark reflection on the path that Snape followed to get what he wanted, which was acceptance and to be important and invaluable to someone, namely Moldy Shorts. :D
I realise the thing about Lily's parents not dying by sinister means, but I sort of interpreted that differently as 'that anyone knows of'. Namely, their deaths were declared as an accident by the Muggle investigation people. People fall down the stairs all the time, so hence, a tiny loophole used for my devious means. I should really put a disclaimer at the end explaining this. I think I'll do that, actually.
Thanks for the review. Have a good morning!
I liked this! The descriptions were good and I've always wanted to know what happened when Hermione was tortured. Everywhere I've looked, all I've got are X-rated versions of Bellatrix doing nasty things to Hermione and Hermione kind of enjoying it, which is really not what I was looking for. This was how I imagined it to be. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks. I've never read another fic about this scene, but, like most fanfics about torture, I can imagine that most of them go for the s/m jugular. And though I don't necessarily have a problem with the concept of Bellatrix as a sexual sadist, I find it to be too much of a stretch to believe she was torturing Hermione to get her jolly's. I believe that particular episode was strictly utilitarian in nature.
Haha. This was really funny, how Padma thought of the distraction. It was amazingly written and I liked the urgency of it and everything. Nice job!
This was really sweet, Sarah! (In case you're wondering, it's Soraya. I have a different username on the archives for no apparent reason :P)
I've read my fair share of Lily/James fics, and I have to say that you did very well in ignoring the usual cliches. After I started beta'ing Walking Fine Lines and you told me it's a sequel to this, I had to see what it was about. I'm very glad I did, because some things make a bit more sense to me right now after reading it.
The guessing game and generally, the banter between the Marauders was well done. I'm so, so glad you didn't make Peter cliched, because that is my number one pet peeve, let me tell you. The number of times I feel like screaming because of the insertion of Loser!Peter or not even including Peter is just ridiculous. So yeah, you did great in that. And Sirius' threat was just so funny. I doubt he would've really told Lily, if James refused, but then again, this is Sirius we're talking about here.
I like the way you described James' ego, as something that began as pride and manifested itself due to his successes, which happened one after the other. This is a very plausible explanation to what happened to James, because I always wonder if one is always arrogant or if one becomes arrogant over the course of time. I think that if the latter is the case, then you're far more likely to overcome the arrogance.
The change in James' demeanour in seventh year, when he was Head Boy, was well done. I think this was the point when the Marauders realised that it wasn't always about messing around and whatever, and that there was always a time and place for seriousness and pranks.
The fact that SWM was a turning point for James is very plausible, because I refuse to believe that after what happened near the lake, James would continue to ask Lily out, at every opportunity. (I think he still would've hexed Snape, though, and the fact that Lily stopped talking to Snape sort of helped, but anyway...)
I really liked the ending scene. It was very well written -- well, the whole thing was, but I liked the bit at the end the best -- and I liked how Lily wasn't suddenly all over him, completely out of nowhere. This oneshot was done very well and I'm glad I read it :)
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the review, Soraya! I'm glad you liked this. I wrote most of this years ago and decided to re-cycle it for the swap, and just stuck a bit on the end, so it's interesting you liked the ending best; it was a very last minute thing, so I'm happy it works! Thanks once again! Sarah x
Aww, that was so sad! It brought tears to my eyes! And I always thought that Hermione had had another baby--I'd always wondered why Harry and Ginny had three and Hermione and Ron only two. But in my story (it's more of a backstory, really, as it's Harry/Ginny) Hermione has a miscarriage. Both are awful, though. Thanks for writing. I really enjoyed this.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, Soraya! Yes I had also wondered about Ron and Hermione having another baby... hence this story. Although I actually had the idea for the story before I picked which characters I would use, if that makes sense. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to review, and I'm glad you enjoyed it and it moved you!
This is The Silver Doe from Deathly Hallows, but I felt it should be told from Snape's point of view... let me take you to the wintry Forest of Dean, when a mysterious silver doe leads Harry to the Sword of Gryffindor, and one leads Ron to Harry...
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, J. K. Rowling does, and she gets all the money. I just have fun with it.
Wow, this was really good. I've always wondered what the Silver Doe chapter in DH was like from Snape's POV even though we do get a peak of it later on. Great story, lovely descriptions and a brilliant insight into Snape's mind.
Wow, that was good! I think you should continue this--Molly Weasley II isn't always a well-explored character in fanfiction. You wrote her really well, so kudos to you for that.
Author's Response: Thank you for the compliment. I may continue this as Molly as well as her twin Lucy and the Scamander twins aren't very prominent in fanfiction and I would like them to become so.
Wow, this was great! A lovely read on New Year's Eve--although I'm not sure what time it is in your time zone--and I really loved every part of this. Your Sirius was adorable.
Author's Response: Hi Soraya! Thanks so much for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and on New Year's Eve, too! :) I enjoyed writing it, especially Sirius, and had fun revisiting it. I really appreciate the review - Happy New Year! ~Gina :)
To the tune of O Little Town of Bethlehem, join the Marauders on one of their monthly nights on the town.
This Song Poem won the Poetry Anyone Carol Challenge on the Beta Boards. Yay!
Wow!! This was great! The internal rhyming and everything was brilliant and I really liked how you based this on O Little Town Of Bethlehem! Happy New Year, Jess.
Author's Response:
This was originally written for the Carol Challenge in the Poetry Anyone forum, so the pickings were slim as to which carols I could do which weren't already done by someone else. :)
I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for reviewing as usual.
Aw, thanks for saying that my fics are mucho good! They're not, but I appreciate the compliment all the same! Anyway, I loved this piece, being an avid Harry/Ginny shipper myself. I never did think that they'd got back together straight away after the battle. This seems more realistic. Well done on your first fanfic, Jess.
Author's Response: Hey Saroya! Aha, you're very welcome! Thankyou again, for all your help and for the review :) -Jess
This was such a brilliant story, Benjamin, and I'm glad they've finally validated it! It was great beta'ing this fic--the vocabulary was fabulous, the darkness was there and it was imminent and both Barty Crouches were completely in character and they were 100% believable. I wish JKR wrote something like this because it really provides an insight into Barty Junior's life which we haven't seen before. I'm really looking forward to reading your next fic on the Longbottom torture fic--as bad as that sounds to say! Anyway, good luck with the rest of your fics. It was a pleasure to work with you!
Author's Response: Thank you so, so much! ^^ That was very, very encouraging! Especially seeing to the lack of feedback I've had so far on my BCJ fics. I consider this the best of my current fics because this is the only one-shot and I'm much better with one-shots than chaptered fis. (Though I'm also very pleased with my 2-chapter fic "The Destroying Angel" which is about how Junior joined the Death Eaters.) This site though is too strict for me to bother trying to get anything but the one-shots here. I'm very passionate with the Crouch family and very interested in the author's possible intent with them. I too wish she had written more in depthly about them, but then again, if she did it would leave me less to interpret and vision myself which I enjoy with all my heart. :P Anyway, because of that, I'm so happy to hear that someone feels I've captured the characters that well and that also the story itself is a success seeing to its genre! ^^ And the Longbottom tortue fic will be a one-shot and thus will be up here too. :) Thank you again!
That was great! The rhyming really worked, as did the rhythm and the flow and everything. The word choices were great too. I loved this poem--I don't come across that many Happy Birthday poems that are Harry Potter, and I'm glad you wrote this one and wrote it very well.
Author's Response: Hi Soraya - Thanks so much for reading this! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found everything worked. I remember it being a bit tricky to write a ballad in limerick form. It was tricky just rewriting the last stanza, lol. Thanks so much for the review, I appreciate it! ~Gina :)
At last! I really like the last sentence--particularly as you had a lot of problems with it and everything--and I also really love the title. It was lovely beta'ing your work and I'd love to do it again.
One thing, though: isn't it complete already? Because the status on Mugglenet says that it's a WIP. Not that I mind--I can't wait to read more if there is more. And if there isn't, well done on a very well written oneshot.
Author's Response: Thank you and I was so glad to finally settle on a last sentence that I was ok with!! Well, I decided to make it a WIP because I started writing another one shot that I think would go really great with this one. Thanks again.
Nominated for the 2011 Best Poetry QSQ! Thanks, Gina/Gmariam!
Aw, that was great. Heartbreaking, sweet, descriptive, fabulously written--it's definitely a favourite for me. What I like the most about this poem is how you can put so much into it with so little words. When I write poetry I tend to be so verbose that sometimes I end up spoiling the rhythm of the whole thing, but you've captured it perfectly. Well done!
Author's Response: Thanks, Soraya! I'm glad you liked it.
This is a really interesting and believable piece. I would imagine that it would be in DH, in Snape's memories. It was written very well, as per usual, Carole, and what I liked about this the most is that you tweaked something that got rejected the first time round and actually used the critique to change things. I have to admit, though, I never thought Snape was that good a flyer, but I can understand why you think so and it is very Snape-like to start flying only because Lily was impressed with James' flying. This was a fab oneshot, so well done!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. The point about Snape is not only was he able to fly well enough to referee Harry's matches in the first year (and being the referee means you have to be able to keep up with all the action), but he was also able to fly sufficiently well in the Seven Potters scene, unlike, say, Hermione or Fleur. What the Mod was trying to impress upon me was that I shouldn't have just dismissed Snape's flying as 'dreadful'. I did amend that chapter to Lily saying something like 'He's not as bad now, he practised.' This story isn't compliant with Lions at all, by the way.
Anyway, that's a long-winded response, but thank you for the review ~Carole~
Wow! This was great! I really enjoyed reading this--you're a great poet. The rhyme scheme was unique and I loved the way you ended each stanza with the last two lines of the last stanza (if that makes any sense!). The rhythm was very good, the pace not too slow or fast. What Dumbledore said is very true as well. You did his words justice. Thank you very much for writing this poem as I simply adored it (as I do all deep poems like this one).
Author's Response: Thank you, Soraya! The rhyme scheme is unique, I agree - I definitely didn't come up with it; I had never even heard of it before they introduced it in this month's challenge in Poetry Anyone.
The pattern is A1, b, A2; a, b, A2; a, b, A1; a, b, A2; a, b, A1, A2. Rather confusing. Basically, you repeat the sentences A1 and A2 exactly, and the a sentences just need to rhyme with them, and the b sentences with each other. I hope you can't tell that I quite labored over this poem to make sure it met the pattern correctly. =P
This is brilliant! I'm a big fan of poems like this--someone else's that I reviewed (I think it was one of Gmariam's) was with this rhyme scheme too. The flow and word choice are great and I really enjoyed reading this. I think it's true, that Voldemort did enslave Draco's soul. Well done on a fab, fab poem!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. It was hard to write but very satisfying when I'd completed it. ~Carole~

Analysis: Canada's foreign limits may hit oil sands growth
By Jeffrey Jones
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - New Canadian rules limiting control of its oil sands by foreign state-owned companies may turn away some investors who now covet more than minority stakes just as the industry seeks massive amounts of capital to fuel its growth ambitions.
The oil sands in western Canada, the world's third-largest crude reserve and the source for much of the United States' oil imports, need an estimated C$120 billion ($121 billion) in investment in the next decade, according to the Alberta government.
The scale of the investment means that the industry will need to tap foreign capital.
But, in approving the contentious takeovers of Nexen Inc and Progress Energy Resources Corp by Chinese and Malaysian state-owned companies, Prime Minister Stephen Harper put a limit on potential investment.
The government said future bids for control of oil sands businesses by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) would be allowed only in exceptional circumstances.
"The government's concern and discomfort for some time has been that very quickly a series of large-scale controlling transactions by foreign state-owned companies could rapidly transform this industry from one that is essentially a free market industry to one that is effectively under the control of a foreign government," Harper told reporters.
The policy suggests SOEs of foreign nations must be content with non-controlling interests in the 170-billion-barrel oil sands resource.
"The 'for sale' sign on the Canadian oil sands has been effectively removed, at least as far as SOEs are concerned," said Richard Steinberg, the chair of Fasken Martineau's mergers and acquisitions practice group in Toronto. Continued...

I love science. It is one of my favorite subjects. But the physics section always brings my grade down to a B. Any ideas on how to get better?
Alex F
The experiments are on Question 8 and maybe 9 and is worth a lot of marks. Some books comes with a CD with all the experiments on it. You should watch them and it might help you with the memory.
Question 9 usually has calculations. Each is worth 6 marks, even knowing the unit needed will get you half of the marks.
Question 7 is probably the hardest of the three to do well as many topics come up. Try learning the Laws of physics and definitions
Finally like Whitestar said you should practice exam questions, the book questions may not have the same language used and could confuse you.
I defo think electricity and heat are so important to revise for physics! Usually the long(er) q 8 and 9 are on electricity or experiments :) and a lot of it is calculations aswell and converting !

I did some searching on here for a refresher since I haven't done this in such a long time. normally i adjust each cylinder individually and thought about trying to go the quick way this time. Does this information sound right for a sbc? :confused:
"Starting with #1 and bring #1 up to tdc then do these vavles exhaust 1,3,4,8 intake 1, 2 5 ,7 rotate the crank one full revolution untill the timing pointer is on O at the crank shaft.... with #6th cylinder firing psition. Now do these valves exhaust 2,5,6,7 intake 3,4,6,8."
Thats good for someone that does this regularly, but I would caution that doing it this way you will need to pay close attention to where you are at, a pro or seasoned mech. no problem, rookie stick with one cylinder at a time. Buzzing all over the engine could lead to a costly little mistake.
I mean really just how much time ya looking to save here ?
the reason I ask is because I find this to be oposite from whats above. Can anyone confirm one or the other?
I am not a ''certified tech'' just someone that been messing around with hot rods for a few years.
If you think this procedure is for you and you are paying attention to what you are doing fine. Dyno it before and after show us the out put data of your gained HP, I would be interested in the results.
I was pointing out that the method was a good one might not be for a rookie, or only a few times a year guy that adjust his own lifters.
You are the one that said " I haven't done this in such a long time." I mean who knew a real certified tech wow.
I here loads speed secrets and tricks and what you here is not always fact.
ya, don't do too many engines at the dealerships ya know... quality and longevity have definately improved through the years. as far as the hp gain... i read something on here that stated it was something like 6hp??? not a lot but enough it would be nice to have those 6hp just from adjusting the valvs a certain way. i'm just coming up with conflicting information on the multiple cylinder method. going cylinder by cylinder is no big deal at all... i just want to make sure i have the correct information when adjusting multiple valves at once. you know what I mean? :mwink:
With performance engines, most will opt for the "EO/IC Method (Exhaust Opening/Intake Closing)" method, the way I have shown previously (originally from Crane, IIRC):
In order to adjust the preload, the lifter must be properly located on the base circle or "Heel" of the lobe.
At this position the valve is closed and there is no lift taking place. You will need to watch the movement of the valves to determine which lifter is properly positioned for adjusting.
1. Remove the valve covers, and pick a cylinder that you are going to set the preload on.
2. Hand rotate the engine in its normal direction of rotation and watch the exhaust valve on that particular cylinder. When the exhaust valve begins to open, stop and adjust that cylinder's intake rocker arm. (Why? Because when the exhaust valve is just beginning to open, the intake lifter will be on the base circle of the lobe, the correct position for adjusting the intake.)
3. Back off the intake rocker arm adjuster and remove any tension from the pushrod. Wait a minute or two for that hydraulic lifter to return to a neutral position. The spring inside the lifter will move the pushrod seat up against the retaining lock if you give it time to do so. (If you are installing brand new lifters they will be in the neutral position when they come in the box.)
4. Now spin the intake pushrod with your fingers while tightening down the rocker arm. (If you are uncertain that you are feeling the "Zero" setting, jiggling the push rod up and down will sometimes give a better sense of when all the clearance has been removed.) When you feel a slight resistance to the turning of the pushrod, you are at "Zero Lash". Turn the adjusting nut down one half to one full turn from that point. Lock the adjuster into position. The intake is now adjusted properly.
5. Continue to hand turn the engine, watching that same intake. It will go to full open and then begin to close.When it is almost closed, stop and adjust the exhaust rocker arm on that particular cylinder. (Again, when we see the intake almost closed, we are sure that exhaust lifter is on the base circle of the lobe.) Loosen the exhaust rocker arm and follow the same procedure described before in steps 3 and 4 to adjust this rocker arm.
6. Both valves on this cylinder are now adjusted, and you can move on to your next cylinder and follow the same procedure again.
Cool deal Cobalt... I just wanted to get on here and say what I ended up doing and thats just what you posted. I rolled the engine over clockwise as viewed from balancer and watched say the intake open fully and then adjust that cylinders exhaust valve and vise-versa. I knew all along evidently just good to have affirmation that i am doing it right ya know... :D Thanks for all the help guys, I really do appreciate it! :thumbup:
I do one cylinder at a time also and I have been wrenching for quite a few years. You may need to do the multiple adjust method if you have four or five valve jobs at once or if your slappin together an engine on jeff gordons car so he doent get lapped :rolleyes: but otherwise the couple extra minutes to do it right and one at a time is well worth not having to redo the adjustment. :thumbup:
I have allways said get good and then work on the fast part. :cool:
Its is also easier to keep track of if you have to stop for a phone call or to grease the door handle on your neighboring technicians car when he isnt looking. :P
valve adjustment.
I started out about 30 years ago adjusting 1/2 the int and 1/2 the exh valves but not all are perfectly at 0 lash this way so some are a bit tight and some a bit loose. So that is where the extra 6hp comes from when each valve is adjusted separetly. When I started adjusting them separetly I could pretty much put the covers on when done and not need any further adjustments. :D
