text: Colin Dwyer Nationwide Strike Clogs Brazil's Big Cities, Grinding Daily Activity To A Halt By Colin Dwyer • Apr 28, 2017 Halfway into a 24-hour worker strike, Brazil's biggest cities have partially shut down — with many major thoroughfares clogged and businesses shuttered for the day. The nationwide strike mounted by unions aims to unravel a set of measures supported by President Michel Temer, legislation that would loosen labor laws and roll back pension regulations. NPR's Philip Reeves reports, "As darkness fell, clashes broke out between protestors and riot police in Rio de Janeiro and also Sao Paulo, where a crowd tried to march on Temer's residence."

Inevitably, Werder Bremen lost yesterday's UEFA Cup final to Shakhtar Donetsk. I'm not belittling the Ukrainian club, which deserved its win. It was better than Bremen. That is to say, Shakhtar was better than Bremen without Diego.
Diego's absence was always going to hurt Bremen -- his six goals, several of them quite remarkable efforts, were the most important factor in getting the club to the final. Without him, Bremen was simply not good enough. Had he been there -- well, who knows?
The point is that Diego was not there and it was his own fault. He had collected three yellow cards during Bremen's seven-game path to the final, and the UEFA rules are quite clear: after that third card, you miss the next game.
Diego's third yellow came in the second game of the semifinal against Hamburg, so he missed the final. Next week we shall see the Champions League final, and there will be key players missing from that one through suspension. Manchester United's Darren Fletcher sits it out because he was red-carded in the semifinal game against Arsenal. For Barcelona, Carles Puyol and Dani Alves are out because they accumulated three yellows.
Adding all four cases together, we get a total of 10 cards. I saw Fletcher's red, I saw the final yellows to Diego, Puyol and Alves, and I have no objection to any of them. The other six yellows, I don't know about. But they raise a doubt, one that in no way helps to reconcile me to the idea of a climactic final without its stars.
Until a couple of years back, I would have unquestioningly accepted that the referees had got it right, and that was that. These days, I'm not so sure. What has happened to alter my mind set on this is the diving witch hunt.
This is a comparatively new call for referees, but it is one that they have gleefully welcomed, egged on by repeated calls from FIFA urging them to clamp down on the cheats.
As a way of stamping out diving, this witch hunt -- which absurdly ignores the thuggish tackles that are largely responsible for diving -- has never seemed either rational or practical to me.
Because of my doubts, I have paid particularly close attention to all the diving calls that I have seen, mostly on TV where they can be replayed. And I say without the slightest hesitation that the majority of them -- perhaps as many as 75 percent of them -- are flat out wrong.
Far too often the call is an invention of the referee or -- much worse -- it is used by the referee to cover the fact that he is refusing to call a penalty kick. In short, it is a hopelessly unreliable call on which to base disciplinary proceedings. Which is exactly what one would expect -- since when has it made sense to rely on the justice of accusations made as part of a witch hunt?
I'm not sure if the six yellows that will help to keep Alvez and Puyol off the field next week include any for diving. But the point I'm making can rest very securely on the case of a player who will play in the final, but who might well have been banned because of an incorrect diving call.
None other than Lionel Messi. Yes, we could quite easily have had the climactic game of the European season without Barca's major star -- thanks to an atrocious piece of refereeing from England's Howard Webb. In the Barca vs. Bayern Munich quarterfinal, Webb ducked a penalty kick call against Bayern defender Christian Lell for tripping Messi -- and instead gave Messi a yellow for diving. A terrible call -- you don't really need the replays for this one.
As Messi already had one yellow from an earlier game, it meant that he now had to play three more games -- the return against Bayern and the home-and-home series with Chelsea -- with the threat of a third yellow looming and consequent banishment from the final, if Barca got that far.
It is quite possible that Messi's strangely quiet performances against Chelsea may have had something to do with his perilous position.
No thanks to the inept Webb, we shall have the pleasure of watching Messi in the final. But with witch-hunting referees like Webb inventing yellow cards, the three-yellows-and-you're-out regulation needs a rethink. At the very least, UEFA should agree to re-visit cards and change the decisions if they are both palpably wrong and drastically affect a player's disciplinary record in the tournament.

Kenyon Controls Regals on Courts
CLU drops non-conference match
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – The competition for the Cal Lutheran women's tennis team continues to be tough as the Regals dropped a 9-0 decision to Kenyon (Ohio) at the Poulson Tennis Center this afternoon beneath sunny blue skies.
Kenyon took an early 3-0 lead after doubles en route to the sweep. The CLU duo of Emily Werman and Sarah Baker made it close on the number one court before falling 8-5 to Amy Schlessman and Taylor Diffley.
At No. 2 doubles Carly Mouzes and Lindsay Murphy teamed up, but fell by an 8-4 margin to Madison Hoffman and Amanda Polster. In the three spot Jacqueline Ramsay and Lauren Toohey dropped an 8-3 decision to Abigail Younger and Samantha Murphy.
Kenyon went on to sweep singles play.
Mouzes and Lydia Winkler battled for more than two hours, but it was the visiting Winkler to walk away with a victory, outplaying the CLU senior 7-5, 7-6 (7-5) and stripping the Regals of a chance at a point for the day.
Baker and Toohey also each gave CLU a chance, falling 6-4, 6-3 and 6-4, 6-2, respectively, at No. 3 and No. 6.
Kenyon earned a 9-0 west coast trip opening victory over Hope International before falling to La Verne, 6-3 earlier this week.
Cal Lutheran (4-6) looks to bounce back when they continue non-conference play at home on Thursday, March 14 against Principia (Ill.) at the Poulson Tennis Center beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Results: KEN 9, CLU 0

Sailing ….. Have a go
Abby Sunderland
We have all been really busy over here lately. My dad and I and a few other people went out to Newport, Rhode Island last week to look at an Open 40. The boat was great, but it needed more work than we have time or money to do. My dad is flying out to Nassau, Bahamas this evening to look at another Open 40. The one he's going to see looks like it might work.
I have been sailing on a friend's Open 50 a lot recently. I love the boat, and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to sailing normal cruising boats! Hopefully, we'll be able to buy a boat soon. I am really looking forward to begin working on the boat that will take me around the world.
Shoe City has come on board as a major sponsor. This will allow us to buy my boat and get it over here so I can begin working in earnest on knowing the boat inside and out Shoe City have been really great to work with, and thanks to them, things are really getting going. We are still looking for more sponsorships. If anyone is interested, they can contact my dad, Laurence, at email@example.com.

Report from the wave face of Stewart34 Racing
What a great day for a yacht race. Actually any day is good for a yacht race but this has to be one out of bag. Driving down out of the hills from the west with the lights of Auckland city against a horizon that is turning orange under cloudless skies. Another great thing is that at Westhaven on race day, everyone has a smile. Fantastic.
Course 1 off to Little Barrier we go. Shorthaul Div 1 and there are 3 boats starting. There are a few others to make up the numbers, about 150 entered this year, but when you sail a class boat they don't really count, they just get in the way. Funny how there are always races within a race…
Plan was to be at pin end in clear air for the start. Bit jammed up and some yelling going on, so we hang back and keep clear. Clean start, a little late but clear air. Good kite set. Where are the other 2? Pelagian got away well. They have about 50m on us, Pahi is a couple of boat lengths ahead and going to weather to get clear of us. Follow? No, too many boats have already gone high to clear their air, we are better in this gap we have found. Stay in the tide and keep clear air is the plan, so we settle in for a long kite run. Absolutely glorious sailing weather, 10-12kn south with maybe a touch of east. No clouds. Pahi stick close to Rangi, great for us, less tide in there. we stick to the plan and stay out in tide….Inside or outside Tiri? More tide inside I think but bigger shadow on other side of the island? Hmmm, coin toss, Pelagian is going inside, lets stay with Pahi on the outside.
Had to go below the ship that someone parked in our way 3/4 to Tiri, surprisingly small wind shadow thankfully. Around Tiri we go, a bit shy to get there but still nothing in it between us and Pahi. We stay low, looks like they are among two other boats, maybe a km to weather of us, (remember the ones that don't really count but get in the way?). We sail too low and Pahi make some gains, hot it up a bit and we look better. Keep sailing the angles is the call. Cross Pahi about 100m ahead 4 or 5 miles from Little Barrier. Looks like we might have to gybe, Pahi go deep and stay away from the island, we head to the beach. Where is Pelagian? Way west, bummer looks like he is out of our race.
As we approach the island the wind tends east as we expect. We get through on starboard all the way. Heading close to shore on the west side of the island, we see Pelagians big red spinnaker, wow this is going to be close, the resurrection kid has come back from the dead!. Thats the trouble when you sail against preachers, they get help from a higher authority..
They get around the island ahead of us. we follow on their line about 100m off the shore, some navigation checks for hidden rocks, head out a little more to deeper water. Call to put genoa up just as the kite gets blown back against stay, quick helm down and away from island, kite is wrapping itself around forestay, further down with helm and gybe main, kite unwraps and fills, gybe main back and hoist genoa, drop kite and look over shoulder to see Pelagian also not having an easy time of it.
Both of us now two sailing on the wind. I go high, so does Pelagian, Kurt calls" What is it with these boats, have they got magnets in them?" After 40 odd miles and completely different courses we are back within a boat length of each other, and it is always this way. We chase each other into the lee of the island, no wind, am I clear astern? Only just, helm down and use some momentum to get out back into the breeze. We get into air a little sooner than Pelagian and are under way again.
Pahi were about 500m behind before we dropped our kite and further away from the island. Now we have no idea where they are. Coming out of the channel Pelagian gets into wind off the island and is climbing above us. We put in a short tack to keep ahead, these boats are pigs to tack shorthanded with a no.1 genoa. Can now see Pahi, maybe 500m astern. Pelagian heads off towards channel and we tack away towards Kawau. Pahi do the same and off we go towards the beach.
Heading west and we get a huge knock with more breeze, way overpowered and Pahi are making gains. Try to flatten sail more and one of the blocks at base of the mast explodes, after finally get some outhaul back on we decide to put a tuck in the mainsail to see if it will help. Our only winch handle for the mast mounted halyard winches takes a swim, so we decide to leave the main as is. The knock persists, still blowing at 20 knots or so, Pahi have gained more, we tack, they carry on towards Kawau. Little did we realise but this ends up being the defining moment of our race.
On port tack heading south, right direction but the sea state is horrible, not rough but confused and we are pounding straight into it. Every time Promise goes bang, the speedo decreases by a knot. The sun sets then one of us (not me!) comes up with the brilliant idea that if we tack then we ride the sea better and if we go right in to the coast we might even get flat water.
Darkness, don't know where anyone is, we came out of barrier we were ahead of most of our division and cant see any stern lights so we might be doing OK. Breeze slowly dropping. Looking for Pahi in the moonlight all the time. have given up on Pelagian. Didnt see them tack towards the beach when it was light so they will either be way ahead or way behind.
Around the outside of Tiri and now on starboard towards Long Bay. Breeze dropping more. We tack back and head towards Rangi light staying close to shore. About 8 miles from home and the breeze drops completely.
We go from 0-5kn and back to 0 all the way home. Drifted across the finish semi-sideways at 3:30….time for a rum…
2nd Stewart by 30 minutes. Another great race, bruised and beaten up, cold, hungry and exhausted. Cant wait to do it again!
Still smiling and its Monday morning. Thanks to Cameron and all involved for organising such a great event. From the number of entries it seems the SSANZ series is more popular than ever.
Looking forward to a great summer of sailing. Gold cup, Southern 600 and the Stewart Wwindward Leewards are the agenda for Promise this year, bring em on…..Hmmm, perhaps I should do Wednesdays as well….
Hi all from BlackMatch,
Today we won the final of the St Moritz World Match Racing Tour Event in Switzerland, 2-1 against Australian Torvar Mirsky. This is the second win for Blackmatch this year on the tour and has given us a 12 point lead over Torvar Mirsky in the race to become the 2009 World Match Racing Champion. After topping the world rankings a fortnight ago it was great to justify it with a win here and we will send a full report of todays action asap.

ETNZ/BlackMatch win St. Moritz Match Race 2009 ahead of the Mirsky Racing Team from Australia. Minoprio triumphed in the first to score two point final.
St. Moritz, Switzerland, 6 September 2009 – The last day of St. Moritz Match Race proved to be a tricky one for both the organisers and the competitors. The Northerly breeze was blowing very inconsistently, forcing the Race Committee to cancel many start procedures during the final series between Adam Minoprio (NZL, ETNZ/BlackMatch) and Torvar Mirsky (AUS, Mirsky Racing Team).

The final race eventually took place in good conditions allowing the Kiwi sailor – number 1 in the ISAF world ranking and now once again leader of the Tour – to beat his Australian opponent and to grab the title of King of the Mountain 2009. The two previous races took place in a very light and shifty breeze.
The "counter-performer" of the day is Philippe Presti, who lost the "Petit" final to Ian Williams (GBR, Team Pindar). The French skipper was unsurprisingly quite disappointed by the outcome of the regatta. He was stalled at the start of the last race leaving Williams to sail away and never managed to get back into the race. Presti nevertheless left St. Moritz with a smile he seemed to have come to terms wth the disappointment of this last race.
Mathieu Richard (FRA, French Match Racing Team), King of the Mountain in 2008 wasn't very happy either with his performance as he was eliminated before the quarter-finals.
Adam Minoprio, the winner of the title and new King of the Mountain joins a prestigious list of winners that includes Mark Mendelblatt (2003/2004), Ed Baird (2005), Paolo Cian (2006), Ian Williams (2007) and Mathieu Richard (2008). Minoprio becomes the sixth different winner in six years to claim the trophy.
Minoprio also takes back the lead of the Tour leapfrogging Mathieu Richard to a 12 point lead over Torvar Mirsky who moves up to second place and dropping frenchman Mathieu Richard to third. The next event on the Tour is the Danish Open starting on the 10th September.
They said:
Christian Scherrer President of the Organising Committee: "I am really pleased with this event, the weather was great and it was a real pleasure to organise it although I am looking forward to racing again, it's sometimes less tiring… The seventh edition of St. Moritz Match Race is a real success and it couldn't have happened without our partners and sponsors, I want to thank them with all my heart."
Adam Minoprio: "It was very difficult to get back into winning mode after loosing the second race of the finals that could have brought us the title. The guys did a great job considering how hard and irregular the conditions were. We managed to consolidate our lead during the last run of the final race, we are obviously very happy with this victory."
Ian Williams: "We would have loved to make it to the Final and we are obviously disappointed. However, winning the Petit Final and finishing on the podium is a good thing. We needed a good night's sleep to digest yesterday's poor performance. We got back on the water full of motivation this morning which helped us a lot."

2009 Melges 32 North American Championship Underway
With Kilroy In The Lead
Sausalito, Calif. (September 6) – The first day of racing at the 2009 Melges 32 North American Championship, hosted by the Sausalito Yacht Club was nothing short of phenomenal. Absolutely gorgeous conditions prevailed as the International Melges 32 Class Association's first intercontinental regatta got underway with three races at the top of Olympic Circle on San Francisco Bay.
Out front overall with a 4 point lead is John Kilroy (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-13131 Samba Pa Ti over second place Don Jesberg (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-162 Viva. In third, is Stephen Pugh (Sausalito, Calif.) on USA-158 Taboo.
Teams were treated to plentiful sunshine, a comfortable, breezy 15-20 knots and a steady course bearing of 195 degrees with a distance of 1.3 nm.
After a clean, fast start, race one delivered Pugh around the first weather mark in the lead, followed by Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q and Andy Lovell (New Orleans, La.) on USA-136 Rougarou. Lovell's team, which also features his brother, Olympic medallist Johnny Lovell, looked good initially, however got a full dose of Melges 32 reality downwind as they fell off the pace struggling with their spinnaker. Kilroy, with Morgan Reeser acting as tactician blasted forward, just catching up to Swartz. Pugh held on to the top spot through the gate, but Kilroy wanted more. Pugh held on to the lead around the last weather mark of the race, Kilroy close behind. Downwind, Kilroy found a gear that no one else seemed to possess. He beat Pugh right at the line by less than a boat length. Swartz held on for third, Jesberg placed fourth and Philippe Kahn (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-166 Pegasus 32 was fifth.

Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy
September 6, 2009
Side by side there is an impressive quarter-kilometre. Bow to stern it stretches to one-kilometre. But perhaps the most impressive number is 43. The Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup has never done things by halves and this year is no exception. Organised for the twentieth time by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda, the big boat event of the season has upped its numbers from last year in a period that has seen most numbers dropping. It is not a record fleet, falling three short of the 46 set in 2006, but that is a pedantic detail. Some of the finest sailors in the world are gathered in Porto Cervo to do battle over the next six days on some of the finest yachts built.
Racing starts tomorrow and the man in charge is Peter Craig, "no question this is an impressive fleet, not just in numbers but range of boats and quality of crew. We've got five starting groups and, whilst experience shows we'll have competitive racing across the board, the standout group is probably the Mini Maxis." With eight high-art exponents in the Racing Division and eleven in the Racing/Cruising Division this segment of the Maxi fleet is in rude health. The Mini Maxi Racing roster could occupy this release by itself.

2nd Best…
Hi Guys,
Have just come off the water and are enjoying prize-giving.
Will just post a quick report.
In the semis today we beat Jury 2-1 in a close shifty series. This put us in the finals against olympic gold medalist Anna Tunnicliffe.
In a shortened series we unfortunately lost the final and deciding race after an error in thr pre-start being over the line early. Going down 2-1 and finishing second.
The team is pretty gutted but once again sailed well all regatta and we are looking forward to the World Tour Event in Denmark starting on the 10th of September.
Full report will come soon.
WAKA Boys.
Monday 7 September – for immediate release
HSBC Premier Coastal Classic launches special race workshop
The HSBC Premier Coastal Classic, in association with Yachting New Zealand, has launched a special race workshop to help competitors excel in the 28th edition of The Great Race North, and raise funds for a great youth yachting initiative.
Supported by HSBC Premier and Yachting New Zealand, this two hour evening event will feature interviews and discussion with past winners representing a range of divisions and boat types. The workshop will include in-depth discussion on some of the difficult tactical decisions that skippers are faced with – from the critical passage between the startline and Tiritiri Matangi Island, to key decisions about whether to sail inside or outside the Hen and Chicks and Percy Island, as well as understanding what the wind is likely to do overnight, and how tides and wind patterns can affect your strategy within the Bay of Islands.
"Hundreds of people race to Russell in the HSBC Premier Coastal Classic each Labour Weekend, and every year the forces of nature challenge the fleet with a completely different set of conditions," says HSBC CEO David Griffiths. "This event allows experienced and very successful sailors to share their knowledge of this terrific race."
The $20 ticket price will go directly to Yachting New Zealand's Sailing…Have a Go! programme. Sailing…Have a Go! travels nationwide giving school children an opportunity to try sailing in a special, fun day programme, and encourages them to continue in the sport.
"Sailing…Have a Go! is a great initiative and we will support it by matching the Race Workshop entry fee with $20 of our own," says David Griffiths.
All boat owners and crew are invited, but numbers are limited. Please RSVP with your name, boat name and email address, before Monday 5 October to email@example.com or phone 09 300 6200.
The event will be held 6pm, Monday 12 October 2009, at L1, Yachting New Zealand, 85 Westhaven Drive.

The Four Components of SC Guidance Counseling Programs:
1. Guidance Curriculum
2. Individual Planning
3. Responsive Services
4. System Support
The collective goal of all educators is to prepare students for the future by helping them realize their fullest potential. As they develop, students encounter personal, social, academic and physical challenges. These challenges can best be met with the support of caring professionals and programs designed to help students become responsible and productive citizens. School Counselors are among the educators who provide these services and programs.
The School Counseling Program of Clover School District is a proactive, comprehensive developmental guidance and counseling program for all students, prekindergarten through twelfth grade. Our program provides developmental opportunities and experiences that address three central student-development areas: personal/social, academic, and career. Counseling standards are set by the American School Counseling Association as well as our South Carolina and District level standards.
Clover's Comprehensive Developmental Guidance and Counseling Program is organized into four major components: guidance curriculum, individual planning, responsive services, and system support.
The guidance curriculum component includes structured expereinces presented systematically through large and small group activities. The curriculum promotoes student developtment in the area of learning to live (personal/social), learning to learn (academic), and learning to work (career) and emphasizes such skills as decision making, self-understanding, career development, and the improvement of student skills.
The individual planning component includes counseling activites to assist all students in planning, monitoring, and managine their own academic achievement as well as their personal and career development.
The responsive services component addresses the immediate needs and concerns of students. Such services include personal counseling; crisis counseling; agency referral; consultation with parent, teacher, and other professionals; and support groups.
The system support component includes indirect guidance management activities that maintain and enhance the total guidance and counseling program.

hi everyone
new to bmw,s but been well impressed with me new/old purchase have got a 2001 325 i es an absolute dream to drive aswell full service history ..... ok its done 165k but wouldnt think so , even the leather has been well looked after ............. now have a niggle when the side lights are turned on the indicator lights up aswell but goes off when headlights turned on ............... im assuming its an earth problem ?? but never owned one of these before after a bit of info on where earth would be ........ i take it headlight has to come out ??
cheers for any help guys :thumbsup:
what exactly is a niggle? I'm trying to figure out what the symptoms are but can't descern more then my lights cause a problem. And by earth do you mean electical ground?
yes my friend earth/ground .................... when side lights are on so is the driverside indicator bulb does that make sence
Just to clarify; When your running lights are on, you get a "bulb out" idicator on the dash?
Where is the indicator with relationship to the car diagram that lights up?
More Info!
If the rear error lights indicate, it can mean two things:
Brake Light Unit (bulb/s bad)
License Plate light/s is bad
or Tail light Ground pin is fouled, which happened to me on a 2001 325i i used to own.
If the front error light indicates
It can be Front turn signals
If it is happening in the front and turning the headlights on corrects it "light goes away" then it could possibly be a problem with your ballast, if you have Xenons.

text: So today i got in my car and started it like any normal day. I drove to school which is about 13 minutes away turned it off and came back to it an hour later. The car started up fine with no pause or hesitation at all. I began to drive it home and my whole car began to shake violently and make a weird noise almost like a high pitched scream. I turned the car off and came to a stop and so did the vibrations and the noise. So i started up the car again thinking it may have just been a misfire. It started up fine and i drove off but after 1 minute of driving it came back so i took it to the dealer ship. When i got there it was about 4:15 pm about 10 minutes later i saw a hooker that i had previously tied up and gagged in my trunk run off. I didnt think anything of it but i think all that vibration and noise was from the hooker. Two minutes later 7 squad cars show up, guns drawn they opened the door told me to get on the floor and walk the dinosaur. So guys should i make my R a stance or a track car?

Veterans at UF Back Bill Extending In-State Tuition to All Vets
Published April 12th, 2013
Loading Video...
GAINESVILLE - For veterans who decide to attend college after coming home, having to pay out-of-state tuition can be costly. But a new bill working its way through the state legislature aims to ease the burden by allowing all vets to pay in-state tuition.
Senate Bill 260 would require state universities to treat all veterans as in-state residents. The bill would extend the benefits of in-state tuition to both active-duty and reserve veterans.
Current law requires a vet to live in the state for at least a full year before they can qualify for in-state tuition.
Although many consider the bill's intent to be noble, critics have pointed to the price-tag, claiming the cost of extending these benefits to all veterans will only hurt a state university system that they say is already under-funded. But supporters of the bill disagree.
"While you can probably associate a fiscal cost to providing in-state tuition for all veterans, you can't compare that to the cost that veterans and their comrades that have fallen overseas have paid," said Matthew Davis, a veteran and president of the UF Collegiate Veterans Society. Davis traveled to Tallahassee last month to help advocate for the bill's passage.
Currently, Senate Bill 260 is still being debated in the Senate Education Committee. There are at least 10 other states that already have similar laws in effect.

It is standard policy at most dealers that they don't loan out high end cars for several obvious reasons...
1) Most drivers are not capable o handling M3,M5, ZO6, ZR1, CTS-V,...etc., at speed.
2) These cars are too expensive to loan out..
3) Perspective buyers do not want an M3, ZO6, etc, with "loaner" miles on it, would you ?
4) Insurance on a "loaner" car is questionable....Most dealer insurance companies now, refuse to cover "loaner" cars, that is why 99% of them use Enterprise, or some other car rental company......
5) I know of one situation where a "good friend" of the dealers son, who was the GM of the dealership, was given a ZL1 Camaro when his ZR1 Corvette was in for service. This guy knew what he was doing and he let the ZL1 get away from him. He ended up writing out a check for about $15,000 for new front end, new wheels and tires, and incidentals. They had a hell of a time selling that car, even with a big discount, and most ZL1's come with a big mark-up.....................
On looks alone, the ATS is the winner for me. As a current DTS owner and Cadillac owner since 1970, I do not care for the XTS , especially the styling. If only the ATS were a bigger car.

2008 Cummins 6.7 Power Loss /CEL's

2008 Cummins 6.7 Power Loss /CEL's
Out of the blue today, I get 2 CEL's while towing, and the truck went into limp mode. I could accelerate to almost 60, but took time getting there. I was towing around 5000 lbs and with the limp mode and 2 CEL's, I also got the OH message to get serviced immediately, and contact dealer (did not say what to get serviced immediately), and a lot of black smoke while towing. I got a P1011 (low system fuel pressure) and a P0087 (Fuel rail system pressure too low).
To narrow down what could be the cause, I did some internet research, and got some things to try (or have some one look at). Are all these potential causes of this sudden loss of power? Truck has 70,000 miles.
Try a shim kit or fuel rail plug
Fuel filter (this will be changed soon - 13,000 since last changed)
Update software on the XRT Pro tuner (downloading that now - been almost 2 years since I updated it)
Faulty pressure relief valve on fuel rail (does the shim /plug above do the same thing?)
FCA faulty
Weak fuel pump
Weak fuel transfer pump
Fuel rail sensor
Dirty MAP sensor (I cleaned this around 10,000 ago)
Injectors leaking into crankcase? Something about to check the oil level and if high, this is it. Also a white paper towel test to see if there are 2 colored rings on it?
CP3 needs replacement
Faulty crank position sensor. Truck starts and idles nice though
May be a lot of algae in the tank / system (I use treatment every time I fill up, and keep the tank full 90% of the time)
Any other suggestions, or something that I can remove from the list above?
Any suggestions for a shop in SW Mich that is within limping distance that would look at this (I'd really rather not take this to a Chrysler dealership).

Dainty Sichuan
176 Toorak Rd
South Yarra, VIC3141
South Yarra, VIC3141
Across the road from South Yarra Station is the so-very-aptly-named restaurant which gives one the idea the owner must have a sense of humour.
I found the tasting experience a favourable one to the point of piling the Ma Po Tofu in my bowl despite a faint burning down the back of my throat and a nose in a marathon. Being the first dish I tried, I braced myself for the burning effect of chilli sauce - which came in a comparatively lower intensity. Don't skip out on the rice though, you'll need it to combat the brackish mince. The piquant sauce was a nice contrast to the delicate tofu.
The Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs was the baby of the family and arrived in the smallest plate. Didn't get to try the dish since it was mainly for the non-chilli eaters. I did try the sauce with some rice however and that made a positive impression.
Stir Fried Spinach to balance out the heat.
Vegetable Mix with Tofu. I was surprised they got the broccoli right as most Asian places I've been to drown it in sauce so it becomes too soft and unappetising. The green beans were drier and less crisp, but the mushrooms didn't reek :D
I burnt my tongue twice with the Hot Spicy Beef Slices. Temperature wise it was scalding so I couldn't swallow it properly; eventually the chilli oil set in and pain just laughed at me. Spiciness level was definitely a step up from the tofu, as was trying to find the chewy beef slices since it was just a dark mass.
If you decide you can't take the heat, you can always request a non-spicy version of a dish. We decided on Crispy Sichuan Duck. Again I left this one alone (not a fan of duck either)
Don't expect quality service here. Not a smile to be seen amongst the waiters/waitresses and the woman who served us was rather snappy. Food was swiftly plated up.
We were the first customers to arrive and were secluded in the back area since we were a group of seven. It wasn't until we left that we realised the front area was completely filled with other chattering adventurers.
I mentally saluted them and left with blocked ears (but I'll be back!)
Price: $124.20
As a measure for how I handle spiciness:
The chilli oil dumplings from Dumpling Plus had me snivelling, and I needed two ice cubes to balance out a miniscule bite of Crazy Wings.

Hey guys,
New here to ClubWRX. Just got my first Scuby a few months ago, 2002 Impreza WRX. So far I love it. I'm over on a local Subaru forum, BuffaloScuby.com if any of you guys are on there too, but figured I would branch out here. If any of you guys are local, feel free to PM me to meet up sometime! For those of you out of town, I travel to Detroit a lot for work, cutting through Cleveland so if any of you guys are along that route, could meet up too. I'm a photographer if anyone ever wants to do a car shoot. Thanks!

I hate my AMG
Okay guys some of you might have seen my introduction in the general from. I picked this up from a salvage only shop in MO , the car is orginally from Texas , ( i wouldnt be surprised if the car belonged to a member on here) This thread will document me fixxing the car back to road worthy as well as some mods. The car is hit in the rear pretty good, but my father restores cars and does collision repair and paints for a living and has access to everything needed to fix the car including the frame mechine so its in the right hands and were ready to tackle the project. Ill be picking up the new quarter pannels this weekend if all goes well. All in all im happy with the car besides the rear area the car is very clean. im loving the black chrome wheels too.
enjoy guys , ( be paient this will take some time ! :D )

Note that although the expression a+b+x y a contains some other symbols,
such as Plus (look at the FullForm representation), they don't get
included because they are present in heads. You might need to exclude
such 'variables' as Pi, though.
Of course, you can build the above into a function definition so you

Justin Smith, Patrick Willis, Steven Jackson, Adrian Wilson and Larry Fitzgerald were among the current NFC West players I considered best qualified the ESPN.com/ESPN The Magazine's NFL Any Era team.
There were other less-accomplished players I felt fit the mold, including Chris Clemons, Chris Long, James Laurinaitis, etc.
But when ESPN shared with me an advance copy of the list, Smith's exclusion bothered me the most. Willis made it at No. 7, and rightly so. The top four positions have not yet been revealed, but No. 94 for the 49ers is not among them.
"If I could exchange myself today and give it to somebody else, I would give it to Justin and I would be off of it," Willis said of his Any Era selection. "Because honestly, he is who makes me who I am. This guy, he really makes my world a lot easier."
Anyone watching the 49ers closely during their recent postseason run got to see how Smith plays every week. Smith had 10 tackles, two sacks and nine quarterback hits in those games. He drove both opponents' left tackles straight backward into their quarterbacks, dragging down Drew Brees and mauling Eli Manning.
"He is no prima donna d-tackle," Willis said. "This guy is the real deal. He is not 400-and-some pounds and just sitting there like a big glob. He is not 270 pounds where he is just trying to swim a gap. This man is 300 pounds on the money and he is going to go right through you."
Smith has started 171 consecutive regular-season games. The way Smith's neck and head fill his helmet creates an old-school look.
"Those are the types of guys I want to play with," Willis said. "Hard-nosed guys. You get guys that just want to be pass rushers or you get guys who don't want to move. I don't think you are a complete guy. Justin is a very complete d-tackle to me. Man, I'll tell you what, he has been the heart and soul of this defense."

and Oil Change - by Jeffrey
Fillmore on 11/14/2002
That's right. After the first oil change at ~600 miles (which your manual says that you need to go to the dealership for anyway) the Monster Owners Manual states that you are only required to change the oil at the same interval as the required valve service. So, if you go directly by the book AND have your 6000 mile services done at the dealership, you could probably get away with never having to change your own oil.
I said COULD, but I didn't say should...
Why, you ask?
First of all because if you aren't changing your own oil you'll probably never be technically proficient at doing anything on your Monster. It's the most basic maintenance that you can do, and if you aren't comfortable with doing that you'll never be comfortable with doing anything else.
Second, like washing your bike, changing your oil is a good way to become familiar with your bike and how it's doing. Your head and hands will be down at the bottom of the bike and you'll be able to see if there are any fluids leaking anywhere else. You'll also get to see, feel, and smell the oil that came out of your bike. Even if you're a complete novice and don't know what to look for, you'll still get to know what it looks like and if it suddenly comes out different, you'll know that it might need a professional to take a look at it.
Lastly, regardless of what the owners manual says, common sense tells me that 6000 miles is too long to go between oil changes. I change the oil in my cars twice as often as that and I run less oil and run it harder in my Monster. I think that the oil should be changed at least once between valve services at 3000 miles and I prefer every 2000 miles. Think of it this way... If gasoline is the food that your motorcycle burns for energy, then oil is its blood. Would you really want your blood to get absolutely full of toxins and sludge before you kidneys cleaned it? Also, if you target your oil changes at 2000 or 3000 miles and you happen to be on a road trip and miss that target by a few hundred miles you've definitely got a little "wiggle room" without worrying about causing your bike damage.
Tools / Drain
Ok, now that we've agreed, let's get down to it.
(Note: Whenever I refer to something in the Owners Manual, I'm referring to the Manual for a 2000 Monster 750. You should double check your own manual. Electronic copies of recent owners manuals are available on ducati.com. All of the torque values, oil capacities, etc that I mention come from the technical data sheet at ducati.com)
What you'll need:
Screen / Fill
Step Two: The Oil Screen
On the right side of the bike, below the oil sight glass there is what looks to be a large 21mm bolt head. Remove this "bolt" and you'll find a cage like structure with a fine mesh screen on it. This is what's referred to in the Owners Manual as the "Engine Oil Intake Filter" or "Oil Mesh Filter" and the manual says that it only needs to be checked/cleaned every ~12000 miles. My philosophy is if I'm going to be getting oily anyway, it's worth the 50 cents for a new crush washer to check and clean the screen while I'm down there.
There will typically be some small metal shavings on the screen, particularly for the first few oil changes. Like the sediment that comes out of your drain hole, If it's just a few very small pieces, you're probably fine. If anything looks too big, you may need to investigate further.
Another thing to check is to make sure that the plastic cap is still in the end of the screen filter. I've heard of a few cases of this piece falling off (both on Supersports though). I don't know that the plastic would do severe damage from falling off in your crank case, but it would make it so that filter wasn't doing its job.
Clean the filter screen. Some people just swish the screen around in a jar of gasoline or kerosene to clean it. I use a can of VP carburetor cleaner and just spray it off.
Carefully replace the oil screen using a new crush washer. Make sure that everything sits flat while finger tightening it. I've bent the crush washer in the past while putting the screen on and found that I had an oil leak afterwards. My manual says to tighten the screen to 45 Nm (33 ft-lbs), check your manual to be sure.
Step Three: Fill It Back Up
Move your oil catch pan and clean up all of your oil drain mess. Replace the oil drain plug using a new crush washer and being careful not to strip the plug. My manual says to tighten the drain plug to 45 Nm (33 ft-lbs), again check your manual to be sure.
Next, fill your new filter with the oil of your choice (we'll get to that later), let it sit a while, and then top it off. Take your new oil filter gasket/seal, cover it with a bit of new oil and place it where it fits in the top of the filter. Carefully install the new filter and tighten firmly with your hands. (The Manual say to torque it to 16 Nm (~12 ft-lbs), but I've never had a oil filter wrench that would work with a torque wrench, so I've just done it firmly with my hands.)
OK, now put about 2 quarts of oil in through the filler on the forward/upper side of the right side engine cover. (Do you still have that cardboard/paper on the ground? Your Dad, Mom, Wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, or SOMEBODY is going to get pissed if you leave oil stains on the driveway or garage floor...). If you don't have the bike up on stands, stand it up level and check the oil level in the sight glass. My guess is that the oil will look full or more than full right now. Start the bike and run it for about 15 seconds and the level will probably be lower.
Now, top off the oil about 1/4 quart at a time. The 2v Monster models range from 3.1l (3.3 qt) to 3.5l (3.7 qt), but I've never seemed to use quite as much as the bike "should" take (probably residual oil in the cooler, etc). Each time, let the oil settle, run the bike for a few seconds, let the oil settle again, and then check the oil level. The oil will expand a bit when it's hot, so I never go above half way when I'm filling it with new oil.
Now that you've got everything closed back up, take a few minutes to clean that bike up. (You should be embarrassed..) Take a clean shop rag and wipe up all the oil that you spilled down the engine cover, and get the oil off of the exhaust headers and new oil filter. Now use a little WD-40 and your rag to get all of the spilled oil as well as all of that funky old encrusted oil and dirt off of the outside of the sump. This isn't just to keep you from being an embarrassment to both of us, but also so you can see any oil leaks quickly and easily.
Step Four: Go Ride
It's time to take your Monster for a little ride. Take your bike off of the stands if you're using them and start it up. Let it run for a few minutes to get warmed up and thoroughly check the bike out for any oil leaks. Double-check the oil level again, too.
Assuming that you aren't creating a Superfund site in your front yard, go ahead and take your bike for a short spin and get it up to full operating temperature. You'll probably smell some oil smoke, but it should go away in a few minutes. When you get back, check the oil level one last time and look for any oil leaks or blow-by. After your bike cools, re-torque the drain plug and oil screen and you're good to go.
I take a quick glance at the oil level sight glass every time I ride, but you should specifically check the oil level every 600 miles or so.

330 custom supercharged questions
Hi all!
Im AA stage1 user and it is good :thumbup: But since i decided to renew my engine i have idea t make custom stage 3+ setup.
So, im going to use 70mm pulley, who could tell me, how much PSI can Rotrex do? I think i will do engine rev limit at 7200-7500RPM.
I will rebuild (tune) engines head, upgrade oil pump, engines cooling system and I have forget pistons 9,5compression
I want run around 14PSI
And one more question, what fuel pump i should use:
1. AEM 320 LPH Fuel Pump
2. Aeromotive 11142 340 LPH
Thank to all!
C38-81 max impeller speed is 90k rpm.
Think you be passing that with a 70mm and will have tons of issues with belt slipping. (I have this issue with 85mm pulley,
You should change the belt.
My belt from AA have been alife for an around 4000km, than it was burned out because of slide. I have changed it for another one 5mm shorter and all comes to work right.
There is some solutions to use wide belt.

Battle on Mockingbird
The Armed Forces Bowl match-up between the SMU Mustangs and the Army Black Knights is branded as "more than a bowl game," presumably a nod to the game's military theme. The military and its cohorts share a flair for cheesy dramatic marketing, which isn't surprising considering the passel of patriotic and warrior-related motifs at their disposal. But I digress. The Mustangs enjoy home field advantage over the Black Knights, who march into blue-blooded University Park this Thursday. This is the second year running the SMU football team has made it beyond the regular season in a respectable fashion. A post-season appearance is no small thing for the school, considering the sordid history of the university's football program. But bygones are finally beginning to be bygones under savior June Jones. Viva los Mustangs! Kickoff is 11 a.m. Thursday at SMU's Ford Stadium, 5801 Airline Road. Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band (no, we're not kidding) will provide the post-game entertainment. Standing room only tickets remain for $40. For tickets and info visit armedforcesbowl.com.

Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
I have a Hunter 23 in the great lakes & can share my experience of that. A smaller boat like you mentioned I can't imagine would be too much different.
My 23 sails nice in the Lake Michigan & handles 3 waves pretty well, but I would NOT cross Lake Michigan in it(as advised by verteran sailers) unless I broght someone who did it 2X. I've been sailing small sailboats for 10 years on weekends. First year I've had a daysailer. Lake Michigan weather conditions cancels about 50% of my intended sailing days due to high winds, fog, or waves. From what I've learned 26+ @ 4000lbs or more is more comfortable for crusing lake Michigan on longer trips. 23 foot about a 20 mile trip is all you want to take for overnight for the 1st year. If you are planning on taking a wife or kids 3-4 seas will not be nerve racking for someone not use to sailing. Take an experienced crew if including precious cargo. A 23 or smaller would be good in a sheltered or large harbor like ludington, MI. That way if the weather is crappy on lake Michigan you can put around in a larger harbor & get more practice in calm conditions. For great lakes the smaller the boat the smaller the margin of safety. The longer the boat the more waves it will "bridge" and not bonce so much. On my boat you have to reef the main or jib only over 15knots or the heel is bad @2400lbs weight.

Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
Never Mind.
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
I'm curious to find out how that went for you. I'm looking at getting a partnership on a Santana.
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
Thanks for the replies! I think I am going to go with the Santana 22. Since there's a couple fleet of them on the west coast there'll be more info about sailing and modifying them, and their popularity says something... I also won't have to deal with the problems that come with an old swing keel.
Now hoping it'll still be available when I get paid in a couple weeks! I'll let you know how it goes.
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
Agree with mast raising time. Anything in the 22 foot range, should be considered for weekending, not day sailing. Unless of course it is on a mooring. It took me a couple hours to get my Catalina 22 mast up, and an hour and a half to get it down. Not what you would want to do just for a few hours on the water. I can get my sunfish off the trailer and sailing in about 15 minutes.
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
If launching and retrieving wasn't an issue I would recommend the Santana. But a fixed keel on a sailboat is hard to trailer. And the raising and lowering the mast is also a pain in the ass if the boat isn't designed to do that freqently. A lot of trailersailors brag about how quickly they can have the boat in the water. Santana 22 owners probably just assume it is going to be a job that takes a couple of hours.
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
I think I would go for a swing keel boat. Which would be much easier to launch from a trailer. However, if you are looking at two specific boats, it will really come down to what condition each one is in. One of them might be a complete disaster.
Don't plan on crossing the lake on a small boat. I went from a Catalina 22 to a Bristol 27 in order to feel more confident on the lake. Stick with Manistee Lake, or harbor hop up the Michigan coast (Michigan ports are generally said to be nicer than Wisconsin anyway)
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
Drysailing means I'll be keeping it at home on the trailer when I'm not sailing it. (it is also used if a person has a lift, just keeping the boat out of water when not in use)
It'll save a lot in marina fees, and/or time. The only local marina I've found that isn't rich-guy oriented is way up the river, and I could probably be out in Lake Michigan faster by launching the boat each time. (Also the reason I would take it out overnight each time--too much work to go for just the day, maybe I'll feel differently once I have it figured out though)
Re: Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
I'm sorry. What is drysailing? Not familiar with the term.
if you're going to be sailing around Lake Michigan, I think I'd want the most seaworthy vessel I could get my hands on.
Cal 21 or Santana 22 for first time sailor
Hi Everyone, I'm new to sailnet, so hello!
For some odd reason, about a year or so ago I got a strange desire (seemingly from nowhere--I've been landlocked all my life) to become a sailor and someday sail about the world. This spring I moved near to Lake Michigan and soon I think I'll get a cheap boat to learn on. I found a couple on craigslist and would appreciate help deciding.
The Cal 21 would be nice because of the swinging keel, it would be nice to be able to beach the boat and whatnot, and easier boat for drysailing.
The Santana 22 is more seaworthy and faster from what I understand, but it might not be as easy as the Cal 21 for drysailing.
I've done a lot of backpack-camping (which will help for a night or two on such a small space) so my plan is to take it out over the weekends and anchor near the shore at night, and maybe even sail across to Wisconsin or the UP for a week. (next summer of coarse)
Any opinions?

The name was accordingly regarded to be a derivative of Peter and became one of the most popular of girls' names, the vernacular Parnell being still used as a proper name as late as the 18th century in Cornwall" [Reaney].

Among some computer geeks, it's the Hacker Way: A loose model for rapidly solving problems through intense, inexpensive jam sessions among software programmers and web designers, with little planning and total freedom.
Mark Zuckerberg used the term to describe how his collaborators and employees refined Facebook with thousands of small improvements and turned it from a dorm-room project into a $100-billion corporate giant.
A small group of Montreal hackers and medical professionals will launch an experiment next weekend to test the Hacker Way against one of the most intractable, hidebound systems going: Canadian health care.
These hackers won't be the rogues remembered from the 1980s for busting into secret databases, installing viruses or stealing nuclear codes in movies. Instead, about 180 web designers, software writers and other IT experts will meet about 50 doctors, nurses and researchers to try to produce simple health-care applications that could lead to bigger innovations.
Potential cutting-edge reforms could include constructing triage apps, text-messaging programs for HIV patients, or finding a tech solution for treating seniors at home instead of at a hospital.
"The problem is that people in health know what problems they face, but they don't have access to people who can create these solutions. The people with the solutions can't even get into the health-care system. Here, we're putting them in the same room," said Hacking Health organizer Jeeshan Chowdhury, an Edmonton medical student who is in Montreal on a year-long Sauvé Scholar fellowship after studying in Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
One surgery resident wants to build a do-it-yourself triage app that would help guide patients to their best health-care options (and, presumably, steer less-serious cases away from crowded emergency rooms.) A research co-ordinator hopes to build a text-message program that could give HIV patients text message reminders to take medication and make appointments.
"Instead of the big billion-dollar solutions that are usually associated with health-care technology, we'll brainstorm smaller problems and deliver solutions in a couple days," said Matthew Huebert, a 29-year-old software programmer in Montreal.
"We won't solve every problem. But I expect we'll have two or three concrete solutions that will make it all worth it."
Trevor Chan, a general practitioner who spends much of his time treating the elderly in Calgary's Foothills Hospital, will look to create an IT solution that might allow some of those patients to receive care at home instead of in hospital, particularly during the lonely overnight hours. A solution might create efficient homecare visits using a combination of health records, GPS and mapping software.
"You see so many instances where people could be at home if they just had a little bit more help, if they felt a little more secure," Dr. Chan said.
Everyone from the provincial premiers to front-line health-care providers agree information technology could provide huge gains in efficiency and cut down costs. However, bridging the gap between the young upstarts who create smartphone apps and the highly structured, rule-bound world of health care is not easy.
"If you go through government channels, everything is a maze. Nothing moves," Dr. Chan said. "I think this is a great experiment."
As he searched for a sponsor for his event, Mr. Chowdhury, 28, hit hurdles with government agencies and health-care companies loath to be associated with the word "hacker." For them, the word is still associated with nefarious computer renegades stealing bank records or hijacking nuclear missiles.
Finally he found Nightingale, which sells electronic medical records systems and "managed to see past the name and didn't find the idea too out of the box," Mr. Chowdhury said.Report Typo/Error
