My name is Taz, we live in a state called Tennessee, I am a neutered male, 11 years young, 15 1/2 pounder.
Dec. 1, 2004 my buddy noticed that I was peeing and drinking more water than my usual. She took me to the vet (on her birthday, some present to her) Dec 15, 2004, my BG was 515, we tried regulating me with a diet of D/M wet and dry. I did not like the tastes of either one of them, so we thought we would try dry purina kitten chow, which I love, I do get get FF or Friskes twice daily about 1 tablespoon at a time (that's all I want to eat) I do prefer the dry kitten chow. Jan.3, 2005 we returned to vet for a BG (what is that), my numbers did go down a bit to 417. My vet put me on PZI Vet (IDEXX) 2 units one time a day, to be brought back 1/20/05 for a curve.(curve is being put off until 10 days of 2 units SID). At least I don't have to stay with strangers all day for awhile longer. Luckily my buddy found FDMB on 1/3/05, We were both happy to find others that are as clueless as she is.
As of 1/12/05, we have not started hometesting, but will be as soon as it arrives thanks to Vesla & Blondie. Today is 1/13/05 and we are starting our first day of hometesting and are going to try 1 unit two times a day, starting today. A quick up date, made it through the first two times getting tested. My buddy did
great the first time but the second time I couldn't figure out what she was doing and I got nervous and she stuck me right through the ear. I did forgive her after alot of loving and sweet talk. She better get her SHIT together or I may just pack my bags and run away from home (I couldn't do that to her).
I made it through the first day of testing without much fuss, but today I am already tired of getting stuck, maybe if I throw a few tears in my buddy will take pity on me and stop sticking me. I made it through the first week of hometesting. I'm still not happy about it, but I let my buddy do it. On 1/17/05 my buddy talked to my vet by phone and while she has never heard of hometesting, she wasn't opposed to it, she wants to check my meter against their machine. She was not happy with my number ps at 490's, +6 high 300's or low 400's (this was with the 1 unit bid). She asked my buddy to go back to the 2 units sid for 10 days and just stick me 3 or 4 times each day. In 10 days time my buddy will call her and give her those numbers. My buddy asked about increasing my dosage (I'm not having any
other symptoms), but my vet wants to wait til she sees the new numbers.
Today is 1/24/05 and my buddy has been giving me the 2 units sid now for 7 days and she says my #'s are staying in the 400's (whatever the meow that means), well she called my vet and that woman told my buddy to increase me to 3 units sid and to call her in a week to let her know if my #'s are going down any.
My buddy is going to drive me crazy. She is telling me that she may have made a mistake (I'm not sure about what yet). She keeps saying that she is going to be injecting me twice a day (again) instead of the one time a day. She keeps saying that she is not going to change her mind again. I just wish she would make up her damn mind already and let me start feeling better. All this stick, don't stick, stick is playing havoc with my insides. Maybe the nice people at the FDMB have finally set her straight. I can only hope so. She tells me that she is now going to be giving be 1.2 units bid for a total of 2.4 units a day. I wish I understood people talk. Now she's telling me that I am going to see a new vet tomorrow, and that he is an advocate (do I see cat) of hometesting and that he has several other sugarkitties as patients. He better know what you people are talking about because I refuse to let him change my buddies mind. That new vet was an asshole, he was mean, didn't smile or pet me I'm glad my buddy said that we would never go back there.
My buddy wasn't happy with the 1.2 units bid and now because of advice she got on the board (again, with words I don't understand) she is giving me 1.6 units bid, she was happier this afternoon she said my #'s were actually in the 300's, well, if she is happy I am happy. Let's hope that we can both stay happy.
2/1/05, my buddy says my numbers are going from a ps of 499 to +6 350's. She is taking me to that vet (another ride in the car ugh!) on 2/7/05 to let her do a curve, and my buddy is taking her numbers with her (I wish I knew what all this means), I like my vet and I am hoping that they can get me straigtened
out soon. I am getting tired of feeling good one day and feeling like a wet cat the next day.
2/4/05, I am feeling terrible, yesterday I threw up all the food I ate and later I ate a little more of that stuff she gets out of a can, just to satisfy my buddy, but today I tried to eat but just didn't want to (I wished I had eaten for her) my buddy put me in that stange box and once again went for a ride, the only difference is that we went to a new place, and my buddy left me, they (strange beans) put me in a cage (at least the had the decency to put up a cover so that I could be miserable in private), then they put a tube down my throat (ugh) and forced food into my belly. I know my buddy did this to me to make me feel better but I miss her, I don't know what she will do without me there with her even though the rest of the gang is there, I'M NOT. After all I am the "Handsome Devil". I hope I can go home tomorrow (there's alot of strange furry creatures here and they won't be quiet). I'm not going home today. Mybuddy says I will be here for a couple of days longer than she wants (she wants, what about what I want) she came to visit me today, that made me feel better but I WANT TO GO HOME. They have a needle stuck in my leg and there is some type of liquid in a bag hanging in front of me (ringers lactate), maybe that's what is making me feel a little bit better, I hear that I have an infection (what's that) and they are giving me something called Clavamox. I'm still not real hungry, escpecially with the food they are offering me. My buddy brought my favorite treats in (Pounce) but I didn't feel like eating (I ate them when no one was looking). She looked so sad when she left me, for this reason I better get well so that I can go home and take care of her. She said that she will be back tomorrow, I can't wait to see her, I will get better so that my buddy will feel better. I don't see that female vet like I did in the beginning of this adventure, I do see 2 male docs and I love them both, no stress when I am with them, and they like what my buddy does with me.
2/7/05 I may be getting out of this hospital today. They say my bg was 225 this morning, and they want to do a few checks throughout the day to see if my numbers (there's that word again) stay good. The vet told my buddy that I was eating a little by myself, the food my buddy brought to me yesterday (yummy) (I'll eat more when I get home, I promise), and they are going to start giving me 2 units bid. The only bad thing is that I am going to have to change my eating habits to just 2 meals a day and no more grazing, (I love to lay there and crunch a little here and there) that may take some getting use to especially with Autumn and Bo (ha ha they will have to change their eating habits too, that makes me feel better). When I get home I'll write more about my experiences in the hospital and any other changes that they tell my buddy.
I'M HOME I'M HOME. It sure does feel good to be here. I told my buddy all about my experience (I'm not sure she completely understood). They have me getting stuck twice a day now, 2 units each time (that I don't understand), and they told my buddy that my numbers(again with that word) are ps 220 and peak
betweek 95 and 110. My buddy was happy to hear that. But I'm not happy about her taking away my food. She is only letting me eat twice a day, all the can I want (which isn't much) and then my favorite dry, but she takes it away too fast. I am going to have to learn to eat faster now. I am embarrassed by one thing they shaved my leg and it looks funny, my buddy says it will grow back but I think I have inherited her impatience, WHEN?
I think I left the hospital a little too soon (I've been home only 2 days). I felt real good when I got home and then the next day I wasn't hungry again. My buddy forced food down my throat, all the time saying it was for my own good (I know that she's right, BUT) I keep trying to eat and she keeps saying if I don't eat that she will have to take me back to that godawful place, I'm sorry buddy but I just don't want to eat. So it looks like she will be forcing me in that box again, and going for a ride again, and staying in that place again, My Susan is worried and I don't like seeing her worried so I will try not to complain too much. We are both hoping that they will find out why I am not hungry anymore, maybe this time they will be able to figure it out and make me all better. I'm coming home again, I started eating on my own, just a ittle, but its eating. I think my problem has been because of that thing my buddy sticks in me, from one thing one time a day to another thing two times a day. Maybe they got it right this time. I am going to be getting 2 units (here we go again) two times a day. And to top it off my buddy will be shoving her finger down my throat, there is a part of a white thing, they say its a pill to help me want to eat. I heard my doctors (I like them, see, I told you I was special, 2 doctors and sometimes 3 of them) say it was called Periactin, at first I thought they said purriactin (I like that name better). Well, if it keeps me out of that noisy place I will put up with a finger down my throat every day. Boy what I have to put up with these days. It's enough to make a cat run away from home, I'm not going to, but it sure makes me want to. I haven't seen my buddy yet today (she doesn't know that I'm writing this, won't she be surprised) and when she comes and gets me I sure have alot to tell her, this time I hope she listens better.
I am home and once again I am a very happy pussy. I'm not sure if that stuff she sticks me with is finally working or if it's that thing she is shoving down my throat that is making me want to eat. I really don't care right now why, but I am hungry and feeling GREAT!!! I have talked and talked so much to my buddy
that she is actually telling me to shut up for awhile. What she doesn't realize is that I have had so much to say and haven't been feeling well enough to tell her, but I will spread my thoughts out and talk when each new thought comes to mind. My stay at that place wasn't too bad this time, in fact I enjoyed
looking at all of the strange creatures there, some of them are really sick and some are just there to get baths (better them then me, I know how to bathe myself). I thought that I would be a nervous puss, but in reality I am very calm, when they come at me with that sharp thing and take that red stuff out of me I
am relaxed, the beans are so gentle and loving that I have trust in them (not as much as my buddy). I heard them all tell my buddy that I am a great kitty and they would all love to have me come live with them (it's nice to know that others would take me, I would never leave my buddy, no one can love me
like her). My doc (oh I do like him better than the female who was trying to help me) says that my #'s (?) are finally at the place that they should be (again I don't understand) the best thing about all this is that they have changed their minds about how and when I eat.
I am a lucky guy, I am allowed to graze a little and get wet stuff twice a day. Maybe now I can finally get back to just being the Handsome Devil that I am and enjoy everyday snuggling with my buddy, watching all those things with wings on the other side of the glass (if I could just get a hold of one of them, what fun I could have) playing with Autumn & Bo (when it fits in with my desires), laying in that warm light that shines through the glass (why isn't isn't around more, I don't know), laying around and crunching and sleeping (Oh, I just love doing that), and just being what I am suppose to be, ME. That will make me and my buddy the happiest we can be. I just wanted to write that I am feeling real good, especially since I'm not in that place anymore, I've been home 3 days and I am loving my food. My buddy says my #'s (here we go again) are a little higher, doesn't she realize that I am eating now and it will take awhile for that stuff she sticks me with and the food I eat start working together. She may be getting it, I just heard her tell my vet that she is not going to worry about those things and give that stuff a chance to work with the food. The only bad thing I heard was that now that I am eating good, she is going to remove my dry for most of the day (I'll have to bite her ankle next time it is bare, I love doing that). Uh Oh, I gotta go here she comes, (she doesn't know that I know how to do this) I'll keep you posted. I've been home a week and I am feeling GREAT!! That thing (purriactin) that my buddy shoves down my throat sure is a miracle thing, she is only shoving every other day. I wish she would stop for longer, just to see if I will eat on my own. The bad news is she is taking away my crunchies more and more, she says my #'s (I hate that word) are better in the 200's when I am not allowed to crunch, I know that she is only doing it for my own good, she tells me often enough. I wish that new crunch stuff would get here (Purina DM) maybe I'll like it and if so, she says that I can crunch once more. The other thing that I am not happy with is her sticking my ears, at first I didn't mind but now I am totally fed up with it, I don't care how much she talks to me or love on me, I hate it. There's no treat that I like (at least she hasn't found one yet) that makes up for getting stuck. I keep letting her do it and once she is wearing those pants that exposed her legs I will get even (I love to bite bare ankles and calves).
I had to share my good news with all, (at least my buddy thinks it's good news) I had my first ps of 345 this morning (my buddy was so happy you'd thought I just had puppies). From what I can understand (I am trying to learn some new language) my #'s (still don't know what that is) have gone done to +7 205. Maybe that thing that is getting stuck in my body is starting to do something right (does that mean I can stop getting stuck). She did it to me again, she put me in that box and, she took me to that place (I didn't have to stay). I was just having an asthma attack and she (I don't have anything good to say about her right now) panicked (I tried to tell her where my meds were). I wasn't afraid this time, I knew I wouldn't be staying. I do have the start of a pee infection (they called it a UTI), here comes another thing getting shoved down my throat. I also heard them say to up my dosage to 3 units twice a day, well I guess if it works that will be alright. She is giving me a new crunchy to try, it's not that bad tasting, at least the first few bites have been OK. I guess I ought to forgive her and call her my buddy again, but my buddy better watch out she is thisclose to be taking a chunk out of her leg the first chance I get. I am a carnivore after all. I sure gave my buddy a hell of a scare yesterday, a couple of hours after she shoved that thing down my throat I threw it back at her, and when she poked my ear I threw in a 195, then a 223 finally a 254, but she stuck me with that sharp thing anyhow after she said 254. This morning I shook my buddy up even more, I threw in 126's, a 149, and a 129 (I haven't eaten since yesterday aftenoon) and I didn't get stuck with that sharp thing yet today, I don't mean the sharp thing on my ears. But my tum tum is feeling better and I ate this afternoon, it sure tasted good, I love that Tuna Select. So it looks like that sharp thing will get stuck in my body later on today. What can I say, if I need it I need it.
I did find a way to keep confusing my buddy. When my #'s go down, I make my ears cold and when those #'s go up I make my ears warm. She is starting to figure that one out, but what will she think with one ear hot and one ear cold. I am totally confusing my buddy the last couple of days. Sunday night 2/27/05 after she gave me 3u (with a ps of 418) of that stuff, I decided that I didn't like that much and the only way I could let her know was to make my #'s (Ifigured they had to be good for something) go down at +4 I gave her a 73 and then to really get her attention at +5 I gave her a 58, she didn't panic and squirted something sweet down my throat and 1/2 hour later I gave her a 72, I figured that I had gotten her attention so I let them digits go up to 317 by +15 and then she gave me just 2u and since then I am behaving myself and keeping those #'s at a ps of 340 - 360 and a +6 at 180 - 200, but my doctor, who now says he is glad that my buddy is hometesting and he wants to learn more about it, is thing that I may need a little more
than that 2u and the 3u (we already know) is tooooo much, he told my buddy he wants to research it and we will let him for now. I am just so happy that my buddy is happy and my bg #'s (I'm learning) are listening to me for a change.
I have been on 2U bid since 3/1/05, this was after I totally confused my buddy with my #'s going so low (I'll have to do that from time to time, just to shake her up). But as of 3/11 I have been giving her ps #'s (I am learning what all this stuff means) of low 300's and once in awhile a high 200, she is taking me on the 16th for my Doc to do a curve and we all know that there will have to be an adjustment, don't know how much yet, but I am sure it will be good for me. My buddy has been limiting my crunchies (I'm starting to get use to it) and most of the time she just puts out that DM crunchy (I thought she was
saying damn crunchy, but it wasn't what I am use to) for me, I'm liking it a little bit (sure do miss my kitten chow). I am eating more of that wet stuff. Today, 3/16/05 I was shoved in that box again, and taken for a ride, my buddy kept telling me that I was only going to be there for a little while (five minutes is too long). I was told that I am going to get stuck a
lot today, a curve, why do I need a curve, I have enough of them. Anyway my buddy stuck my ear while we were there and she said 266,(?) and then some guy stuck a needle in my throat and some colored stuff came out of me, after 15 minutes he said 272 (?) both my buddy and that guy were pleased and surprised, only a 6 point difference, I guess that I've done something right. My doc told my buddy to keep me at the 2U and do what she has been doing, like when my ps# (there it is again) is above 350
she gives me a fat 2U (I have no idea what that one means) and when my ps# goes below 250 I get a lean 2U (again, something I don't understand). Best of all my doc was happy the way my buddy does what she is suppose to. He also told her that I wouldn't have to go back unless I started doing crazy things (that's something I don't plan on doing, if for nothing other than to keep from getting shoved in that box)
3/28/05, just about 3 months have gone by since I started getting stuck in my back and my ass, and my buddy is happy, I'm not but I am feeling like I use to. I don't have to get in that litter box as much (sometimes I get in there after the other 2 have been there, phew!!) I have felt like talking again, and I
am reminding my buddy why I am called Taz Maniac. Just to let you know, my ps bg (???) have been 275-325 and +7-9 bg 120-150. About once a week or so something happens and my pm ps (there they are again) is only 100, and when this happens I get my ear stuck 2 hours later and if I am under 150 (I'm really just 11), another 2 hours passes and I get my ear stuck again, some of the time I am above 150 (when I am above that number I get only 1U) and sometimes I just stay that way and I don't get stuck with that longer thing until the next morning, funny thing though my buddy always smiles in the morning saying that my bg (again) is under the 350 number. Maybe all this happiness is because I am not getting much of my dry food, she may be be happy, but I MISS MY CRUNCHIES (she does give me 1/4 cup, but it has to last all day long), but I am enjoying the wet stuff that I get. Today is 4/30/05, it sure has been awhile since I last wrote about what was happening with me, just in case you are interested I am doing GREAT!!!(my paws are crossed, just so I won't jinx things). I am still on 2U bid of PZI Vet(Idexx), at least that's what my buddy says. Whatever this stuff is it must be working cause when I get my ear stuck (I hate it) my buddy smiles and says she is happy that my bg's (I still don't know what that is) are in the mid to upper 200's and on some occasion it is in the mid 300's. I don't have to use that litter box as much (it wasn't always easy getting in there with the other 2 furries using it too). But the best part of the day is when I get to go out on the porch and watch the flying and hopping creatures that are there (I wish I could get to them), I do dream about me chasing them and catching them, yum yum.
I haven't written in a while and I figured it was about time. It's the middle of June, and I am feeling great. I am not eating as much crunchies lately (I miss it so much) and my buddy says that my #'s (I still haven't figured that out) are staying below 200 on most days, on days that I get into the crunchy I hear her say "300 that's what you get for eating that dry stuff". I haven't figured out what she is talking about,
I feel better than I have in a long time, I have even started biting her bare legs again, I almost forgot how much fun that was. Take a bite and run, sneak back up and chomp down again. I don't really bite too hard, just hard enough so that my buddy doesn't forget who is really the boss around here. July is here and I am still doing great, the only thing that I am sad about is my little friend Autumn, she had to go to that place where I stayed and she was gone all day long, when my buddy brought her home her neck had no fur on it and it looked like she had been cut. My buddy told me and Bo that Autumn has cancer (I never heard that word before) and it was something called plasmacytoma (that is a word that I had to ask my buddy how to spell), it is a plasma cell cancer (total confusion here). My little Autumn seems to be acting like herself so I am hoping that it is nothing too major, but my buddy has been giving
her more attention than she does to me, so that is making me believe that it is something to be a little worried about. I just hope that Autumn is going to be all right. I've got my paws crossed and so does Bo, the droolers don't seem to pay attention to these type of things so I will just ignore them even more than I have in the past.
It's been so long since I have written here, and I am so very sorry about that. I am doing so good that most of the time I forget that I have to have my ears stuck with that thing 2 times everyday, but lately when I get stuck my buddy is so happy, I hear her say things like "under 200, under 100". She tells me that is happening cause I don't get to eat my crunchies. She does give me a little of it everyday (I always
want more). But I have to say that I do feel a lot better than I use to. It's almost a year since I was first given that stuff in that thing that is sharp, and even though I have to keep getting stuck in my ears and body I am feeling so good. I hear my buddy say every day "below 150, great" I'm not really sure what that means, but she is still happy about it and that makes me happy. I do get a little bit of my favorite crunchy everyday, not a lot but a little bit is better than none. I am enjoying that wet stuff more than I use to and I really don't miss my crunchies as much as I use to.
2/14/06 It's almost 3 weeks since Autumn hasn't come home, my buddy told me an Bo that she now lives over the Rainbow Bridge. I am not sure where that is but it does sound like a beautiful place. I miss the little sweet thing. My buddy says that Autumn isn't sick anymore, and I am happy about that.
No juice since 3/26/06, I am on my way to the Falls, I've heard about h*neym**ns but never thought it would happen to me, but over a year later it looks like I have finally heard what my buddy has been saying to me "come on Taz, get the pancreas working" and as I say, better late than never. I've got to
keep this up and hopefully my buddy will stop sticking my ears.
4/17/06 Yea, I haven't gotten stuck with that needle in 23 days. I am still getting my ear stuck but now my buddy is only doing it every other day and only 1 time a day. She found some crunch food (EVO) thatshe says I can have 1/3 cup a day, it sure is nice to be able to crunch a little bit.
6/29/06 I went 85 days without any juice, I started sneezing and my buddy watch me over the weekend and when she stuck my ear she was upset, she got a reading of 225, she waited and stuck me again in 3hours and it was the same, she gave me 1U of my juice (I had forgot what is was to get stuck in my body with that sharp thing) in 6 hours she poked my poor little ear again, this time my buddy was happy with 101 over the last 14 days I've needed a little juice on somedays and other days I haven't needed it. I am not happy getting my ears poked twice a day, I don't mind getting my body stuck as much as getting my little ears poked. We don't know why I have started needing my juice, but my buddy is confident that I will once again go on a h*neym**n (whatever that is).
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, it's been so long since I let everyone know what's going on with me, I finally convinced my Buddy to let me have a couple of minutes with the catputer. I never did go back on a h*oneym**n, I am getting my juice on what my buddy calls a 'sliding scale', sometimes, depending on what my numbers are, I don't have to get stuck, and other times I get just a little of that stuff, anywhere from .5U to 1 full unit, never anymore than that. Since June, my numbers have ranged from 75 to 180, the only time I got in the 200's was right after 'the Bully' attacked me. I haven't told you about 'the Bully', that's not his real name it's Shadow. My buddy's friend Pam brought this black cat here about 4 months ago, he looked like a nice guy, but looks can be deceiving, he hates me and Bo. He doesn't come around us too often, cause when he is all he wants to do is KILL. Mostly he stays in a room by himself, but everyday my buddy brings him out and puts him in a cage, (I love that, but he sure doesn't) when Bo and I go on my buddy's bed Shadow gets let out of the cage. Of course the
first thing he does is come look under the door at me and Bo. I don't know why he doesn't like us. My buddy says that she is trying to find him a home without any other kitties, but so far she's had no luck, and she will not take him to any kind of a shelter. So until Shadow finds a home where he can be the
only kitty life will go on as it has been. In saying goodbye for this entry I wish everyone to have a very Happy New Year, and my biggest wish for the year is for all the sugarkitties to get better, or at least feeling real good.
I am now a member of the 'over the rainbow bridge group,Girl, th egrande dame, age 17, had Cushings Disease and she was tired so she left it up to my buddy, her mom, help her cross over to the 'bridge', such sadness, Autumn just went 9 months earlier and now Girl. My 'sweetness' has been under control nicely, no major spikes in my numbers.
Jumping ahead to June 14,2007, I was not hungry and we all know that us sugarkitties should never not be hungry, my buddy didn't worry too much until the next morning when I didn't want my breakfast. My buddy was on that thing she talks into and in a little while I was shoved in that box like thing and taken outside and put in that thing with the wheels that goes real fast. My buddy and I were going to see the doctor, it wasn't my regular doctor it was some female that I had never seen before. They stuck my neck with a needle and took out blood, I didn't hear anything bad, all I know is that I was able to go home, and my buddy had some pills to shove down my throat. That night I started having some troubles getting my breath, I still
didn't want to eat and my buddy was giving me something she called Cypro that is suppose to make me want to eat, it didn't and my buddy got real concerned so she put my food in a big thing and forced the food down my throat. It did make me feel a little better to have something in my tummy. Monday the 18th my buddy put me back in that box and into the other thing, the one with the wheels and back to the doctor we went, they did something to me called x rays, I couldn't understand what my
buddy and doctor were saying all I know is that when I thought we were going home we in fact went to see another doctor in the main clinic. My buddy left me there, she promised that she would be back in a couple of hours, while she was gone the people there put this thing over my face, I was able to breath so much better, and they did this thing where they were rubbing my chest with something. When my buddy came back the doctor talked to her and it must not have been good cause my buddy's eyes got really wet. But I went home, still not wanting any food. After we got home my buddy's forced food down my throat again and then I heard her say that I had lung cancer and it was advanced. I don't know what that is but it must be bad cause my buddy's eyes kept getting wetter and wetter. As each day passed I was feeling worse than the day before, my buddy continued to force food down me and since I hadn't had a poop in a week back in the box and the thing with the wheel and off to the doctor we went, but this time something totally different was done to me, I had something put up my butt and some warm liquid was put in me, the humility of it all. Whatever was done to me helped me poop and my belly felt better, but it was getting harder to breathe and I was feeling worse each day. One day I was so tired of getting food shoved down my throat that I started spitting it back up as soon as my buddy shoved it down. The night of July 3 I was so tired that all I wanted to do was be next to my buddy and be left alone, I had a problem trying to walk and just wished that I could crawl away. My buddy started talking to me differently, she was saying things like 'I will always love you' hey I knew that and 'I will miss you so much' what? and then I heard that it was time for me to cross over the rainbow and join Autumn and
Girl, I was happy to hear this cause I just couldn't go on any longer. My buddy's eyes were wet all the time and the morning of July 5 my buddy picked me up and carried me to that thing with the wheels and we were going to the doctors again, but this time my buddy's eyes were leaking real bad. When we got
to the doctor I had a sharp thing stuck in my thigh, after a little while I wasn't feeling any pain and it seemed like I was floating. My buddy started to say 'goodbye''I love you''Autumn & Girl will be waiting for me' and she kept apologizing to me that she couldn't be there with me in the final moments, that's when I heard that sharp thing that stuck me was something to make me really relaxed, and not the one to help me get to the 'bridge'. I was OK with my buddy not being with me in that final moment, I was ready to join Autumn & Girl and I didn't want to remember my buddy with lots of wet stuff in her eyes, I wanted to remember her telling me that she loved me now and always would love me. The next thing I remembered is Autumn & Girl standing on the other side of this huge gate, there was a beautiful rainbow behind them, it looked so beautiful, the gate slowly opened up and I walked through it to join Autumn & Girl, all of a sudden I realized that I didn't have any problems breathing anymore, and I was getting hungry. I felt better than I had in a long time, I felt like I was a little kitten once again. I turned to look for my buddy and she wasn't there, she was nowhere to seen, I asked Autumn where my buddy was and
Autumn told me that my buddy was down on earth and that one day she would come and join us, it would probably be a long long time before she did but she would be with us one day. I understood what was being said and even though my heart was missing my buddy, the other side of that rainbow was where I needed to be. July 5, 2007 10:30am I joined Autumn, Girl and lots of kitties and doggies 'Over The Rainbow'. It is a magical place, there's no pain, no suffering, a place where you can eat anything you want and as much as you want, a place where no one is sick ever again. A place where I am no longer a sugarkitty, I don't have to have my ears stuck anymore, I don't have to have that sharp thing stuck in my back every again. While I may not be able to touch my buddy anymore I can look down on her and make sure that she never forgets how much I love her. My buddy and I will be reunited someday and until that happens I will walk besides her silently, I will comfort her in ways that I never have before, I will forever live on in her heart.
This is the story of Taz Barnes and his buddy Susan and the love the two of them shared with each other.
July 5, 2007, a day that will live in infamy. It was my last day on earth, it was the last I was ever going to be able to spend with mom, it was the day that lung cancer won the battle.
I have had lung cancer for a long time, I didn't know what was the matter, and I never told mom that anything was wrong with me. Mom had enough to worry about with me being a Sugarkitty (diabetic), mom hometested me everyday for the last 3 years. Mom would give me my insulin depending on what reading she would get when she poked my ear. Over the last 3 years both mom and I had a rough time with my diabetes, it took a long time to get me regulated and on a sliding scale with my dosage. I had to do some changes too. I use to always eat dry food (my crunchies) I loved it, but mom said that it had too many carbs and that was bad for me. While I didn't mind eating the Fancy Feast I missed my crunchies. To make mom happy I gave up my favorite thing to eat.
When I got to this strange place called 'Over the Rainbow Bridge' I was happy to see my kitty sister Autumn, she left the family a long time ago and there was my doggy sister Girl. As I walked through a huge gate I was greeted by many kitties and doggies there was, Gato, Chelsea, Bill, Angel, Clyde, Snipper, Princess, Billy, Squeak, Bear Dog, Tiffy, Buddy, Muffy, Blue, Bono, Kassie, Fancy Pants, Mr Penny, Miss Kitty, Bonita, Velcro, Chico, Bandit, Fred, Sammy, Honey and some that I don't remember their names. I felt lots of love and for a little while I was so happy.
And then it hit me, mom, where was mom, I looked everywhere and I couldn't find her. It wasn't like mom not to be there. Autumn took me by the paw, sat me down and told me that I was in a place where I no longer had lung cancer, or diabetes, I could eat all the crunchies I wanted, I could do anything I wanted except, mom was not with us and wouldn't be coming, not for a long time. But we would be with mom again one day. I wasn't sure of anything, I was feeling better than I had in a long time, I was happy to see Autumn but mom, I missed my mom, I knew mom would be missing me. I knew mom would be crying, I knew mom would be hurting, I knew mom would be lost without me. How was she going to sleep without me in her arms? How was she going to get through her days without by her side? I don't have the answer to any of these questions.
Lately everyday has been a sad day, my little friend Autumn got real sick and had to be taken to the hospital, she was gone for a long time and then one day my buddy kept crying and crying. All of us furry kids were told that Autumn wouldn't be coming home anymore, all I know is that by buddy said that Autumn's cancer was not good and that she crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge.

I'll see if I can explain it better. The carrier is the large center part that the ring gear is bolted to. Inside the carrier each axle goes into a side gear. Between the side gears are whats called the spider gears. On a Tracker set up there are two spider gears and one pin that goes through the carrier, through the first spider than through a spacer. It then goes through the second spider gear and out into the carrier on the other side. On a four pin carrier like a Samurai, there are four spider gears. Two are held in place just like the Tracker, the other two are held inplace by a short pin that goes through the carrier, the spider, and ends in the spacer, butted up against the long pin. These are generally considered to be much tougher because of the increased amount of parts to distribute stresses through, and that is why most companies that make lockers want a set up with 4 spider gears. Depending on what locker you buy, it will be set up to mesh with the original sidegears or it will have it's own replacement parts that fit in instead of the sidegears. I've heard on Sammi's that since the axle tubes are thin if there is any amount of bend in the tubes a locker with it's own sidegears is more likely to dissengage under stress, while a locker that uses the stock sidegears can have problems if there is much wear on the sidegears. That's probably clear as mud, but I don't have any pictures I can paste in to explain it better. It also means that regardless of what ring and ping gears you are using the center section is the same.

Alternator Conversion For 72' Nova HELP!
I just baught this 72' Nova all origional and i am going to put a stereo system in it but the origional Alternator will not support the amp/subs. I was wondering if any one had done this or knows how? I NEED HELP!
My first question is do you really need one? I've got some bass thumping subs in my old car with the stock alterator, and no problems. It's amazing how much a good new big battery will help.
Second question- how may watts RMS does your amp(s) put out???
Watts(RMS)/12 volts(actualy more like 14.7volts)= amps
500W RMS/14.7=34 amps
1000W RMS/14.7=68 amps
If I remember right the stock one should be about 70 amps? not too sure though. Unless you have your amps playing at max for extended periods of time you shouldn't need a new alternator. unless your putting in a very big system. In that case. make sure you know what you are doing so you don't make costly mistakes. There is alot to making a stereo system sound realy good.
to put a new one is, very simple. your alternator should be a 3 wire type. two should be together in a plug, the other is a single wire with a ring treminal that fits over a post on the back.
All you have to do is buy a new alternator rated at higher amps, that is a 3 wire(if your's is a 3 wire) and it just bolts in- pretty simple
a good place to look is
www.summitracing.com
This is a good time to replace old belts too!

If all you're doing is upgrading to a higher output alternator just get one from the local auto parts store. They should offer a few diff. options (55A,70A,100A,etc.). The regulator only allows the alternator to output what the system needs at any given time. Also notice RMS Watts was mentioned. A lot of audio components are rated either peak, or peak to peak power ratings. These are not the same as RMS. I forget the calculation at the moment but RMS is much lower than peak or peak to peak ratings. RMS is what you need to know for your calculations.

Yo clawdog... unless you're running a nuclear system the stocker should be adequate. I've run some pretty pumping systems, and never had a problem. If you're worried, pick up a simple replacement at parts store, 100 amp or better. I bought a kit to convert my old one to 130 amp through jc whitney like 20 years ago and it worked great, i don't know that i really needed it though. what system you installing? just for listening, annoying neighbors? or comp? I have since chilled out and only put enough sound in to be pleasant, deck and 2 or 4 with simple mono sub, cheap and easy, no x-overs, eq's or anything, getting lazy I guess. have a good one

MGP Caliper Covers:
Anybody have any experience or opinions on MGP Caliper Covers:
I was thinking about putting these on my F10 only to hide the hideous calipers and help contain the brake dust.
Unlike other cheap glue-on caliper covers, these seem to be high quality:
Pricing and options for a full set is as follows:
My 1st thoughts:
Thus, I was thinking of going with just Black covers with the BMW Logo in Silver or White or Satin covers with the BMW Logo in Black.
What do you think?
Are you at all concerned that the cover might interfere with the release of heat generated during braking?
This is a toupe. Better off with bald calipers if you don't have the fancy ones.
I'd go for it. Add a vinyl bra for the front-end and get some clear plastic, to wrap the seats like at grandma's house, to complete the look.:freakdanc
The idea is good. I too have an Alpine white with M Sport. I opened the link, first impressions are that they are a little high and the design wasn't all that. Keep looking; I am sure there has to be something else out there that may have a better fit and look. These looked a little bland and cheap to me. I am sure someone else here can suggest another company or option.
If I were to add them, I think I might try and match the color of the "M" symbal on the rim and do a blue or red color. If available, I might go as far as letting the "M" logo appear. I don't see a problem with that; I would never change the rear logo from my 535i. For one, anyone who knows a M car would easily distinguish that it wasn't a true M. However, since the M is legitimate for my package, I don't see changing or adding the logo in other places on the car. I don't see that as cheating. As a matter of fact, I am starting to look to see if some "M" logged cornering side lights exist. I was able to get the M floor mats and they look great in the car!
Good luck with your decision.
I have a AW as well...i was thinking the blue on the roundel would be a nice accent on the calipers...red to me is a bit too loud...
What do you guys think? I'm probably going to paint them myself.....
Blue calipers with the M logo would be pretty awesome in my opinion.
I too have thought about it for the same reasons. Current calipers are ugly. Just want to see if anybody had tried it yet. Little expensive if they don't work out. Holidays!! Anybody want to give it a try? Waiting. I would would go with red on white car and silver on my DGII color.
I think you would be much better off painting the existing calipers with caliper paint than by using these covers. These covers are bulky and look very fake. Plus they may introduce heat dissipation issues.
Painted calipers if done well look great. You can even add a BMW decal if you want.
You guys are amasing.
First you are going to change to BIG wheels, while they look good(?).
After that you are goin to change brake pieces, to make the now open room in the too big wheels look good.
After that, I do not know, did you plan to drive the car?
Wtf, these big wheels and brake extras are not better looking, have a negative influence on the driving capabilities and cost money.
A perfectly nice good driving car being "upgraded" and so done down the drain.
Keep your BMW German, even BMWNA should not interfere with the normal German specs of the car.
You are realy going over the top now and then and therewith diminishing the fine quality of the stock BMW 5 series.
Not to mention the folies and bras and fenders you propose to add to the car, unheard of on this side of the pond.....
If it was around $50, then I said do it. $200?!! waste of money.
I don't like fake breasts, and I don't like fake enhancements on my car either.
Does anyone know whether these would have any effect on heat dissipation? I'd like to reduce the brake dust, but only if there are no negative effects.
Does the caliper cover trap in brake heat?
MGP Caliper Covers actually reduce caliper heat. The Caliper Cover only covers the front of the caliper allowing all heat to escape up through the top of the caliper.
Thanks Shawn!
Just wanted to revisit this. I think I'm going to get these as well. Any thoughts on what configuration (color, wording, unique art) of these covers would look great on a 550i MSport would be appreciated. Thanks.
Here is a link I posted on the subject in July of last year;
What about black caliper covers with grey BMW lettering on them?
Have you considered getting Akebono ceramic pads if dust is the main concern?
If you live in warm climate area then these will work great. I used have them before on my E60 and they were clean for weeks.
I'm actually selling my BMW MGP RED Calipers Custom Made. Bought for $340+, selling for $260. PM me. They actually are amazing and they actually better for braking a little bit, and they look pretty good. I got tons of compliments.
I want a more exciting look to the wheels and the reduced brake dust is a plus

Do electrical breakers lose power?
I recently had my electrical dryer stop heating. The dryer will tumble but will not heat. I had the dryer exchanged for repair and the second dryer did the same. I was told that it is probably the breaker. I do not know that much about breakers. Can anybody give some advice before I call an electrician?
Sometimes they do, but not often. Usually it is some other factor.
Did you try to turn the breaker off and then back on? If not do so.
It could be any number of problems with the electrical feed to the dryer, you need an electrician to check it out. The only thing that needs 220 to work in the dryer is the heating element. It sounds like one side of your 220 has gone bad. I would turn off the breaker, and call an electrician tomorrow. If you turn the breaker off, and back on, and the dryer works that means you need a new breaker.
might have lost a leg. meaning you are only getting 120 volts to the dryer, the heating element requires 240 volts. The motor will still spin with only 120 volts.
Common sense. If I had a 220/240 volt breaker and one side gave me problems it could be bad. Corroded or burnt contact, or the connection to the buss is weak or corroded. For peace of mind I would spend the $40.00 on a new breaker, and have it installed. It could save allot of money in the long run. Not to mention a life.
Sorry. Wrong thread.
$40 for a 30AMP double pole breaker??? Where are you shopping?!! They should be in the neighborhood of $10 to $20 at most...
Anyways, back on subject.
Last year our dryer stopped heating, but still spun. We had the store we got it from come out to check it since it was under warrenty. They replaced the heating element and said that it was bad.
Still didn't heat up.
The receptacle was bad. The contacts were sporead way far apart, and werent making contact with the blade from the plug. The arcing was so bad, the area was totally black. (I don't know much about this subject, this is hearsay from the repair guy) He said that the arching was causing the element to overheat and burnout almost instantly. Good thing there wasn't a fire!!!!!
Just something else to think about.
This is a DIY site, and my advice is to call a licensed electrician to check out any one of a number of problems that could have occurred. Bad or corroded receptacle, loose connection to the receptacle, bad or corroded connections at the receptacle, bad wire, pinched burnt wire at the panel box, bad or corroded connections at the breaker, bad or corroded contacts in the breaker, loose or corroded connections at the buss bar, or the wire could be broken from a staple, or even just a piece of junk wire. These are the problems I have seen on dryers, and electric hot water heaters. WHEN THEY INSTALLED THE DRYER DID THEY USE THE OLD CORD, it could be bad.

Measuring Anne Carson's Antigonick
Well, Anne Carson's newest objet d'art is out from New Directions. Antigonick, as we mentioned a while back, is a new translation of Sophocles's Antigone; the text itself is hand-lettered by Carson, and "features stunning drawings by Bianca Stone printed on translucent vellum pages that overlay the text." Vellum!
Over at the ND blog, Tom Roberge points to an interesting post by NYU professor and author Nicholas Mirzoeff, who invoked Antigone when writing on his own blog in January about the Occupy Movement in Greece. "Several months later," writes Roberge, "Mirzoeff received his own [Google] alert, this one from Amazon, letting him know that Anne Carson's translation of Antigone, called Antigonick, had been published. He promptly read it and composed" (text in brackets by Roberge):
Alex Tsiras of Syriza said of Greece "we are going directly to hell," meaning a living death underground. Which is what happened to Antigone. As Carson reminds us, the myth has power today because it still affects us. She uses words like 'anarchy' where the standard translation uses "unruly." She talks of the "state of exception." How to measure that?
In the nick. In the nick of time. By Nick.
Eurydike, Creon's wife, mother of Haimon who Antigone was to marry, has famously few lines in Sophocles. One speech, five lines.
Carson has her speak much longer, with a riff on Virginia Woolf. Then she asks a question about Antigone [formatting has been altered; Carson hand lettered the text and it's impossible to properly convey the aesthetic online]:
'But how can she deny the rule to which she is an exception? is she AUOTIMMUNE? [sic] No she is not. Have you heard the expression THE NICK OF TIME? What is a nick?
What indeed? The OED gives us an astonishingly long entry. It refers to a notch, a cut, a groove, whether in a machine, a tool, wood or an animal. It can refer to the vagina, as in various Jacobean dramas cited by OED. Then it is also the precise moment, later the nick of time. It is essential, what is aimed at. You can also go to the nick, a jail or prison, and be beset by Old Nick, the devil.
At the end of the play, Nick [a character in Carson's translation, described as 'a mute part (always onstage, he measures things)] still on stage measuring. Measuring the collapse of autoimmunity, the collapse of debt's capital, the capitals of debt.

Hey Guys,
As some of you may know i have started my second build with the bugeye. The first build consisted of a 68HTA and a hybrid motor. It made 354 on the dyno with e85. That was somewhat disappointing for how much money i had invested. But it was still a pretty fun DD. About 3 weeks after having it tuned i shattered my rear differential. I then decided it was time for a 6 speed to avoid any more problems. After putting about 2000 miles on it for some odd reason the rings didn't seal right or something along those lines and i decided it was time to redo it again. I pulled the motor and ended up finding three bent exhaust valves also. I wanted some more power so i decided to redo it all.
The mod list:
Engine Internals
-2.5 STI block
-CP standard sized pistons
-Eagle Rods
-ACL main and rod bearings
-New Oem Oil pump
-ARP case half bolts
-Ported and Polished heads by me
-BC 272 cams
-Supertech intake and exhaust valves
-Cometic head gasket
-BC valve springs and retainers
-06 Sti transmission and rear diff
-DCCDpro Universal controller
-Quarter Masters twin disk clutch
-ATP GT35R externally gated
-Tial 44mm WG
-TurboXS FMIC
-FIC 900cc's for now (I am currently in the market for something bigger. If you have anything PM me)
-Perrin Fuel rail kit
-Megan Header/uppipe
-Custom 3" TBE
-Magnaflow Muffler
Many of these parts i am waiting to show up yet. My goal is for over 500hp. I think i have what i need to make it but if you have any advice or suggestions as to what i might still need let me know. My dad and I have done all the work to this thing except the machining. And before anyone might say that i am spoiled, I have payed for everything on this car and have had a full time job throughout highschool.
Heres a couple pictures of the car.
Here is how lazy i was during the last build. Yes the engine bay is half black half silver.
I had to fix that during this build. Here are the results.

Are you excited about entering a new season?
Garrard: "I'm very excited. This is my first time going into a new year as a starter, so I can't be anything but excited."
What is different about being the starter as opposed to being the backup?
Garrard: "Well, that's just it. I am the starter. Coach [Del Rio] has given me a lot of respect and the guarantee that, 'Hey, this is your job.' So I don't have to look over my shoulder or think about what happens on this play if something goes wrong. I can just go out there and play and do my job."
Would you have preferred to be named the starting QB earlier in the offseason?
Garrard: "I think I've been preparing pretty good throughout this whole time because you never know if something happens to your starter in OTAs or in training camp, that you could easily go in as the starter if they get injured or anything like that. I think it was pretty good no matter what. I'm just glad I had a couple days to let it sink in. I had Saturday and Sunday off, so I felt like that was a good amount. But I think it's just a great opportunity for me to just go out and finally just be a starter."
Have you talked to Byron Leftwich and if so, how has Byron reacted to being cut?
Garrard: "I text [messaged] him. He was already gone by the time I found out. I texted him and just told him good luck to him and he's always on my mind as a friend. He texted me back and said, 'Do your thing. Good luck to you.' That was good for me and hopefully it meant something to him."
Were you surprised to be named the starting QB?
Garrard: "I was very surprised. I had no idea. You don't see this happen too many times this close to the opening game. There were no indications that it was going to happen. So I was surprised."
What is your confidence in the Jaguars' run game?
Garrard: "I definitely feel like, as long as everybody's on the same page and working hard, the run game is definitely going to be a key because we have two great backs. I think as long as we put the ball in their hands, you never know what's going to happen."
Was last year's game against the Titans in Nashville frustrating?
Garrard: "(Laughter) Well, I threw a lot of touchdowns in that game. They just all weren't in our favor. I've never been a part of a game like that. I don't think I've ever even seen a game like that, where one person has that many turnovers and they all get returned. I've seen that many turnovers, but not that many [that were taken] back to the house. It definitely was a frustrating day. But you know what? I've learned a lot from that game and I've moved on. Hopefully I think that I'm going to use a lot of those things that happened in that game and in games before that to my best effort."
Do you feel that Jacksonville has underachieved the past few seasons?
Garrad: "I think if you don't have luck sometimes, and you have a lot of injuries, it can seem that way. I definitely think we're moving in the right direction right now. It starts this weekend. I think we can erase a lot of things that have happened before to us in the past."
Have you seen any differences in head coach Jack Del Rio this season?
Garrard: "I think he's just as excited as we are. This is probably a good time for him. I haven't seen any difference. He's still coaching the same and still getting on guys the same. So no, there's no difference."
Could Coach Del Rio's job be in jeopardy if the Jaguars don't improve this season?
Garrard: "I think every player and coach in the league is always on the hot seat if you don't pan out the way that fans and the organization want you to. That's with anybody. I'm sure that we're going to do fine this year and coach will be fine for himself."
How are the tight ends coming along with the absence of Kyle Brady this year?
Garrard: "Definitely Kyle Brady was a great tight end. He was a fabulous blocking tight end and he still could catch the ball as well. So it's always going to be tough to fill that kind of a spot. But we have some really great tight ends here with Marcedes Lewis and George Wrighster, and they're going to make a lot of things happen this year for themselves and make a great name for themselves."
What are your impressions of the Titans' new defense this year?
Garrard: "I think they're going to be just as tough as they always are. They have a great pass-rush, they have a great linebacking crew and their secondary is going to be fabulous as well. They might be filling in new guys, but it's the NFL. Guys are going to get out there, they're hungry and they're going to try to make plays. I'm going to try my best not to allow that. But they practice just like we do. We have to be ready for everything."
What are your impressions of Vince Young?
Garrard: "Not being on the defensive side of the ball, but just thinking as a quarterback, I think he's a great athlete. He can make a lot of plays with his arm and his legs. He's a whole lot faster than I am, so he makes me look slow. But he's going to do a lot of great things this year. The sky's the limit for him. He's on every different media thing and marketing thing, and he's still handling himself well. So he'll be fine. I'm sure the coaches will do a great job this year of getting him in the best situations possible and allowing him to just be an athlete."

Brick Council Members Go Back To The Drawing Board
Brick Township's Democratic council members will have to go back to the drawing board on ways to come up with cost savings for residents after an unsuccessful bid to overturn the vetoes of two ordinances. Council President John Ducey says the ordinances that called for the reorganization of municipal departments, eliminating eight positions and the creation of another took months of work and they don't have a Plan-B waiting in the wings.
Ducey says their plan called for the elimination of eight positions created by Mayor Steve Acropolis in 2008 that had salaries that capped out at $100K. He says all those jobs came up to a little over $1 Million. He says their plan called for reinstating two of those positions and creating a third where total salaries were only going to be under $300-thousand.
However, Acropolis says when asked, neither Ducey nor the other council members could produce a spread sheet of the savings. Acropolis claims the entire plan wasn't about cost savings. He alleges it was politically motivated. "You know, it was about creating a $90 thousand dollar a year job for a political appointee." In fact Acropolis says this is the third time council members tried to instill politics into ordinances or resolutions. "and this is the third time that they've been rebuffed and you'd think that they would now work with the administration."
Ducey refutes the Mayors claims that the proposed ordinances were politically motivated. "Every time we try to save money, he just turns around and says it's politics…. where no it's not true. We're just trying to save taxpayers money.
Ducey says "the council as a whole will begin to investigation additional ways to save taxpayers money because unfortunately we were unable to override the Mayor's veto in this attempt to save taxpayers money."
Acropolis says "we're going to continue what we've done over the past five years. Which is reduce the size of government through attrition and or a reduction of force if that is needed. We are down about 90 people from when I took the Mayor's leadership position. That's the way you make government smaller. not by saying we're going to eliminate eight positions of which six are already vacant.

Hampstead Police Lt. John Frazier said Joshua Fowler was convicted on seven counts of burglary Thursday, Oct. 10, in Rockingham Superior Court in Brentwood.
The last known address for Fowler, 34, was 149 Hampstead Road, Sandown. Last June, his appearance as the "Fugitive of the Week" by the U.S. Marshal's Service resulted in Fowler's turning himself in to the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department. He faced multiple counts of burglary in the towns of Hampstead, Derry and Londonderry.
At that time he listed his address as "homeless," but when he was indicted two years ago, Frazier said he gave the Sandown address. The burglaries took place in 2009 and 2010.
The Rockingham Superior Court trial began Oct. 8, and finished with his conviction on Oct. 10. Fowler's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25.
Four of the burglary counts for which Fowler was convicted were for burglarized houses in Hampstead; two were from Derry and one was from Londonderry.
"Fowler was arrested on warrants drafted by Hampstead Police on June 7, 2013," Frazier said. "Fowler was on the run for approximately two years. With the assistance and added pressure from the U.S. Marshal's fugitive task force and the Rockingham County Sheriff's office, Fowler eventually turned himself in. The tireless efforts of Hampstead Detective Bob Kelley and Assistant County Attorney Prosecutor Jerome Blanchard on this trial resulted in convictions across the board."
Fowler's pre-trial hearing was held on July 25 in Plaistow District Court and stemmed from a Hampstead attempted theft charge from Feb 19, 2010, when Fowler attempted to gain access to someone's account at the drive-up ATM at TD Bank in Hampstead. At that time, Rockingham Superior Court set Fowler's bail at $20,000 cash/surety for the four Hampstead burglary charges along with the two in Derry and one in Londonderry.
Fowler Convicted of Burglaries in Three Towns

Hey gang,
I have a slight problem with my blaster. On the backside of my stock bracket (non-grip side) the paint will not dry. It remained tacky for over a month with my last paint job. I had more work to do to it, so I sanded it down to bare resin, and washed with warm water and dish soap. I thought this would cure the problem. I also thought it may have been some crappy paint, so I went to a different store and bought a fresh can of krylon primer, and flat black. About a week ago I applied 3 heavy coats of primer on the entire blaster and I allowed it to dry for almost 5 days. The primer was still a bit tacky when I shot the flat black. I put 4 coats on it, and the handle is once again tacky! It has sat for 2 days now, but the paint refuses to dry! I haven't applied my satin finish yet, nor have I weathered it. I am hoping it will dry once it is weathered and sealed. I doubt it will, but its all I have right now. I posted my progress in the blaster forum and Ripcode thought it may be a poor resin mix that is preventing the paint from fully curing. This is the only spot on my blaster that won't dry, and obviously it's the area that will be handled the most. I don't mind my gloves getting paint on them, but it's one of those things that is buggin the be-jesus out of me. If anyone has any suggestios for me, by all means let me know.

India, January 2013- The very essence of Indian music lies in its legacy of passing on the techniques of music from one generation to another. The flawless magic that music emanates is immaculate and incomparable. To take a plunge in the deep-sea of countless pioneers of next generation musicians and spread this magic to the world, we have a new addition – the confident and charming Reewa Rathod.
The dynamic and talented teenager, who made her debut in the music industry on her 21st birthday happens to be the beautiful daughter of the much acclaimed playback singer duo Sunali & Roopkumar Rathod. This vocalist, pianist and music composer who has been pursuing her passion since the age of four staged a three hour performance at Amphitheatre, Bandra Fort today. Having accomplished eight grades in piano with distinction from Royal Associated Board Of London under the expert guidance of Shanti Sheldon, she was the first teenage Indian who showcased multiple musical facets on a single stage in the form of a live performance comprising of Eastern and Western classic compositions.
Industry stalwarts like Bala Mani Aiyyer and Prasanna Warrier who have trained her in Carnatic music while Pandit Rajan and Sajan Mishra who have trained her in Hindu classical singing swear by the young prodigy who gave her first public recital of the famous Meera Bhajan Paayoji Maine to a packed to capacity audience in Tejpal Auditorium, Mumbai in honour of her late grandfather. Going by her artistic family lineage, a trendsetter in the making and another legendary addition to the family of prominent musicians. Her grandfather Pandit Chaturbhuj Rathod was a renowned "dhupad dhamar" vocalist of the " Aditya Gharana of Jamnagar" while her uncle, Sharavan Rathod is a well-known music director. Young music director duo, Sanjeev – Darshan are her first cousins while her aunt, late Rupali Dalal was a classical vocalist. She is also the great granddaughter of the late Champabai Dhiraji Rathod,who was a trained singer of classical melodies in ancient Raagas and Ghazal singing in the late 19th century. Reewas maternal grandmother, the late Leena Sheth was a classical dancer and a painter. With such a strong musical and artistic background, it was natural for her to come to the fore and make her presence felt. The generally reserved Reewa is a passionate animal lover and does wonders in kitchen with her exceptional culinary skills. She is a national level award winning horse-rider while she secretly wishes to build a music school for the underprivileged section of society.
Speaking on the occasion, the enterprising and responsible debutant states, "I feel that Bollywood has to come at some point of your life. But it is not an integral part of my life. My aim is to reach the international platform and make my presence felt globally. I want to be someone like Norah Jones or Anoushka Shankar. But my personal style is soul music. I've been writing poems and creating my own compositions in English, Hindi and sometimes Tamil since a very young age. I want to create my own sound. I wouldn't deny the fact that being born in a musical family has had its positives. But I feel that until or unless you put in your hard work, you just can't survive just on a base built by your parents."
Even with maestros to teach her the tricks of the trade, the restless soul in Reewa does not allow her to reproduce the music lessons as taught by her masters. With sonorous timbre in her voice, the versatile and sensitive artist is all set and poised to take her own flight of fantasy into the world of music and become the heart-throb of the masses as well as the classes. Here's wishing her all the best.

heavy steering at certain points in steering wheel rotation
last week the steering on my e30 325is developed a 'heavy zone' ie. when the wheel is turned 90 degrees (or so) it feels as if the power assist has died, push it a little further and it loosens up again, but once 180 degrees (or so) is reached it becomes heavy again.
i suspect that the steering column u-joint (knuckle or whatever it's called) has developed a tight spot, as one of the four joins looks dry and there is some damage around it's periphery. i'm not entirely sure how this happened. i had my buddies hoist it to remove any suspension variables, manually rotating the steering assembly at the joint produced the same effect as turning the wheel.
where should i go from here? i got a price at my local import shop for a replacement column u-joint assembly: it's ~ $600 (cad) as they stated it to be one piece (i can only hope that that includes the core charge), but it looks to me that it can be disassembled, maybe to the point where i can replace just the joint.
or can i simply grease it? it doesn't appear to have a grease fitting (it's kinda small).
don't get me wrong, i've had this car for a long time and i love it, but i'm a student and $600 +tax is just too much.
please advise,
I've had the same problem for many years ('87 325is). It goes away in warm weather. If you figure out what exactly is wrong and/or how to fix it inexpensively, please post a reply here or send me a PM. Thanks and good luck...
dumb question- have you checked your p.s. fluid?
'there's no such thing as a dumb question, just a dumb answer'... as the saying goes ;)
the ps fluid was the first thing to be checked, it's a third of the way up from the lower notch (seems to be where it likes to sit). i'll top it up and see what happens.
thanks for the input, keep 'em coming.
Heavy steering, it could be...
Blown out strut mount/bearing assy.I personaly havent seen one blow out and im on my 3rd e30, but they have worn out enough to effect the steering. undefined
Had that problem on my iX.
I sprayed a ton of HS2000 on the joint and the stiffness and binding went away.
That was 6 months ago and not a single peep since...
what's HS2000?
Wurth's adhesive lubricant.
It sprays on thin, penetrates and then turns to a thick grease.
Works really well.
well this is kinda strange...
two days ago the heaviness just went away, and my steering is back and feeling great!
the only thing i did was spray, of all useful things, wd40 on the u-joint (this was well over a week ago). i simply refuse to believe that that could fix it, but i have no other explanation.
i hope i don't jinx her, but i had to share the good news.

"It turns out all we needed to do to win the war was to just give the Nazis a good, deep dicking!"Ilsa, She Wolf of the SS, made in 1975 and directed by Don Edmonds, is the Trope Codifier of the Nazisploitation subgenre.The Trope Maker of the Nazisploitation subgenre was Love Camp 7, made in 1969 six years earlier. When that was a big hit in Canada, André Link and John Dunning of Montreal distributor Cinepix quickly drafted the script for this movie, and secured David F. Friedman (who'd starred in Love Camp 7 and produced Herschell Gordon Lewis's Blood Feast) as a producer.Former Las Vegas showgirl Dyanne Thorne stars as the eponymous Ilsa, the buxom, sadistic, nymphomaniac commandant of what seems to be an odd combination of a Stalag (prisoner-of-war camp) and a Jewish death-camp. Ilsa has an insatiable sexual appetite and each night takes one of the male prisoners to bed, castrating him when he finally ejaculates before she's orgasmed herself. By day, she conducts experiments on other prisoners, attempting to prove that women can sustain more pain than men and thus should be allowed to fight in the army. When an American prisoner by the name of Wolfe is brought to the camp who can withhold ejaculation, she is finally sated, but otherwise things turn to shit for her when his resulting allowance to live culminates in him rallying an uprising amongst the prisoners and her death.Luckily for her, she's back alive and well in sequels Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks, Ilsa, the Tigress of Siberia and Ilsa, the Wicked Warden.Notable for being filmed on the former set of Hogan's Heroes.
This film provides examples of:
- Artistic License History:
- The movie, being an exploitation film, ignores the fact that no woman was ever the commandant of a Nazi prison camp, and capitalizes on the very real sadism and hypersexuality of such SS Aufseherinnen as Ilse Koch (who infamously had gloves and lampshades made from the skin of the prisoners of her husband's concentration camp and upon whom the title character is loosely based) and Irma Grese (who was incredibly sadistic towards the prisoners of the camp she was a warden of, especially the female ones).
- Also, a number of signs are seen that use Fraktur, a font which was banned by the Nazis in 1941.
- Chained to a Bed: Ilsa is tricked into this trope by Wolfe, resulting in his escape and her death by Boom, Headshot courtesy of her fellow Nazis who she thought were there to rescue her.
- Chainsaw Good: There are arm-wrestling matches in Tigress of Siberia where the loser gets his hand cut off by a chainsaw.
- Dolled-Up Installment: There are two sequels set in contemporary times with Ilsa not only alive but still reasonably young. This is because those films were initially spiritual successors of the original Ilsa film staring Thorne as more or less the same character. After they were made, they changed the titles and dubbed her name in. This also explains why she apparently died more than once.
- Fan Disservice: If you found any portion of this film to be arousing, something's seriously wrong with you.
- Fanservice: However, you can get aroused by Dyanne Thorne's...bombs.
- Groin Attack: At one point, Ilsa tortures her patients with an electrified dildo.
- If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him: The American prisoner and his main female Jewish prisoner love-interest refuse to participate in the killings of the Nazis for this reason, and try to dissuade the others from doing so. Doesn't stop 'em from doing so anyway once they're out of earshot.
- Just Desserts: How Ilsa meets her end in The Wicked Warden, eaten alive by her own slaves.
- Pragmatic Villainy: When the General finds out about Ilsa's torture and experimentation, he's not happy... because it diverts valuable time and resources away from the war effort.
- Sex God: Wolfe. This is thanks in part to being able to go for as long as he wants without having an orgasm.
- Trash the Set: The finale demolished the Hogan's Heroes set, which the crew was allowed to do, as it was cheaper than hiring actual demolitionists.

Taylor Swift Stars in Keds Spring 2014 Campaign
Posted on February 27, 2014
Taylor Swift is the face of the Keds Spring 2014 campaign called Bravehearts. Taylor has had a partnership with Keds since 2012 when the company launched red Champions in conjunction with Taylor's Red album.
The new campaign has Taylor sitting in a tree, holding a guitar and hanging out with friends. Taylor's sitting on an elephant topiary in pink shorts and pink Keds in the above photograph. The Bravehearts campaign challenges girls to share everyday acts of bravery. It can be found on the bravehearts.com website.
In the campaign video Taylor talks about how it can be frightening when she first shares a new song with someone. Taylor says, "Step forward and try something new. Be brave. Keep your hopes high and jump in with both feet. There are a million ways to be brave."

Today I had the day off and had the best time.
I caught up with my sweet friend Kate (who you can see in the first picture). We went to Top Paddock for breakfast. Kate had the hotcakes, which are my favourite. And I had the porridge ( in the second picture). I didn't have hotcakes today because I am trying to eat healthier. Kate and I went into Space furniture store ( I go in there every time I go to Top Paddock) and probably spent an hour sitting in some new, fancy, expensive arm chairs and had very inspiring conversations.
I wish I can be rich enough to be able to shop in that store one day.
After that we went for a bit of a walk, the sun was out today which made it extra lovely.
