This guest post by Sarkin and entry in our non-fiction writing contest.
I always wanted to be a "homesteader". Yes I hate labeling myself or anyone else but I woke up the other morning and thought that must be what I have become. It is hard to live that kind of lifestyle when your drowning in debt. A huge factor in not only getting to the point of being debt free but also to having actual say in your own life and time is saving and spending wisely. I knew at an early age that even though my dad had been my idol since day one I didn't want to work 60 hours a week like he usually did. I also didn't want to raise 9 loud kids either 😉 I knew if I could master my budget it would have a trickle effect onto my whole life.
My life:
I live in a 24ft prowler travel trailer, no I don't have a mortgage 😉 Little bit of solar, rain water, small wood stove, propane and a well. No utilities. I grow everything that I can grow myself up here in the pacific northwest. My parents got me hooked on canning when I was young. I am $0 dollars in debt and work about 10-14 hours a week as a cook in town(about 12 miles away). I went to college for a few years but realized I didn't want the life of a career.
I feel bad how miserable peoples lives are, working them away for a mountain of china's finest exports. Some people today think they really need one of everything of every category Most all my time is my own and I have REAL freedom to do what I want when I want. I love taking care of my animals, working outside, growing food, canning and spending time visiting my family and friends. I also found out that I could love my job when I didn't have to work 6 days a week just to be totally broke.
No my life is not for everyone but it is all mine and it is "real". I think our whole country might be in for a dose or "real" life very soon. I told a family member the other day I pray her first world problems don't become third world problems because she probably couldn't handle it. It was kind of mean but she didn't get it anyways.
So what I set out to do with this article originally was just to send in a big list of ideas that might be helpful. Some of these might seem like common sense but here goes:
When I buy milk I buy whole milk, then divide it into 2 jugs then fill them both with water…milk is the same cost if it is whole or nonfat. So it makes your milk 50% off and 50% healthier 😉
I make my own liquid laundry soap. I got a deal on pink Zote soap years ago for 30cents a bar and I bought 40 bars. Needless to say I have a lifetime supply. Also I bottle my finished soap up into old milk jugs and sell it to family and friends for 2 bucks a gallon. It is not a get rich quick scheme by any means but I make a few bucks and all my soap is free.
Make a huge effort to eat less meat. Don't get me wrong its not a matter of loving animals. I love animals, I raise them humanely and I know the huge expense they are and the price they pay to feed us. People eat too much meat, it is just not sustainable. Besides the horrible methods used to raise them commercially, meat it expensive. 9 times out of 10 it is most expensive part of the meal. So its simple eat less meat save money.
I like to stretch taco filling with lots of home canned pinto beans or even some oats or wheat germ.
Use canning to make cooking easier and cheaper. Canning your own beans for example saves a fortune and it is so handy. Also I use almost all Tattler canning lids. Yes they are a little pricey. Or I should say were a little pricey, mine have been made free twice over from reuse.
Composting toilet. When I had a regular a home I always made it a point to go number "1" outside. Sorry if anyone is sensitive but every time a toilet flushes it is wasted "clean" drinking water. Not that I consider tap water to be drinkable. But it adds up fast on the ole water bill. But honestly a composting toilet is so easy and cheap. A bag of peat moss goes a long ways. There are lots of ideas for building them or just attaching a toilet seat to a 5 gal bucket.
I get buckets of mistakes and plate leftovers from the restaurant I work at to feed my chickens. A lot of times there are big 8oz+ chunks of prime rib or steaks in there I feed to my dog Chewbacca. This cuts my chicken and dog food bill down sharply. Every now and then I will grab big chunks of the dried out wheat toast and give the rabbits a little. Also I feed my rabbits tons of weeds, dandelions, plantain, and clover I scrounge up. They get hay from off my moms pasture and big chunks of apple tree prunings to chew on too. I raise mangel beets in the garden for the chickens and rabbits. I love when the rabbits are all chomping on there own chunks of field beets, they look like a bunch of blood crazed zombies. 😉
One day I might build a cabin or get a yurt, I haven't decided. One big lesson I have learned though. My little wood stove heats this small trailer so easily. It is wild how warm I stay on such a small volume of wood. It is sort of like the saying "White man build big fire, sit way back…Indian build little fire, sit up close." But it would be more like "Has huge house.. burn down whole forest in wood stove and wife still cold."
My best piece of advice don't buy cheap or poorly made anything. Make smart money choices and think of the quality and longevity of purchases…sometimes to save money you have to spend money!

Round-Up: Ritter is Letter Recipient, and more
By Andrea Chalfin News Dir. On April 2, 2010 · Leave a Comment · In Andrea Chalfin, AP, KRCC News, Miranda Hickox, Religion, Round-Up, Student Reporter, Transportation, Uncategorized
Colorado Governor Bill Ritter is among state leaders across the country receiving threatening letters from an extremist group…Air Force officials say they were unable to determine who left a cross at a worship space for pagans and other Earth-centered religions at the Air Force Academy, or whether it was malicious…and, a new feasibility study released this week has determined that high-speed rail along Colorado's I-70 and I-25 corridors is possible.

Webb Scool Board Election
Posted in the Hebbronville Forum
#1 Dec 2, 2012
Did anyone get paid to vote? Do you know anyone whos ballot was filled out for them? How many of those mail in ballots are in the same handwriting? Do you care that people drove in from out of town to cancel your vote? Are you happy with the results?

The semi retired wh*re and her john were buying votes.

#4 Dec 4, 2012
Could not agree more. 2 more years of marshall law would ruin the school. Fina would have done for Bruni what Salvador did for Mirando. Shut it down.

#5 Dec 4, 2012
I'm not hating on any1 it's just that I don't think 1 fam/group should try n control everything.
#6 Dec 4, 2012
Have you seen the letter Robert wrote and asked to have distributed. It basicaly says he prayed on it and god told him not to help new board because they voted him out of power. GOD NEVER TELLS ANYONE NOT TO HELP!! Grow up, you sound like a little kid, Robert. "If I dont get to make the rules I will take my ball and go home."

#7 Dec 4, 2012
People...you all need to really open your eyes and stop hating on others...I'm not taking asides, but you all need to realize that a school board should be based on educated people who are looking for the best interest of the students in the community. They are not to decide who gets hired next or if they are responsible for schools closing down. First of all the school closed because of the funds that were being distributed compared to the student ratio. Let's face it, WebbCISD has money, but if it is not used it eventually has to be returned and if this happens, funds then start getting decreased. Regardless of who's on the board now, they all have a past!! Some of them are currently worst than others with a past, but why hate and talk of them...the community are the only ones responsible for what becomes of the school, you had ur right to vote each and everyone in, I only disagree on the fact that the community couldn't vote of their offices as well.

#8 Dec 4, 2012
I haven't seen any letter. Why would some1 write a letter saying such things. In my opinion the board should b made up of ppl who care for our kids not some one who just wants power.
#9 Dec 7, 2012
I want to see the letter. Where can I get one

the letter is everywhere. The dumbass asked that it be distributed to the community. So everyone would know poor Bobby is being mistreeted.

They realy do hate me!!!
#14 Dec 13, 2012
Let's face it if there was a letter that supposably went out to the community...well it's obvious that's a lie! If there was any type of letter..I'm assuming it was the letter that gets handed over to the new president from the old one with information as to what has been done and what was left as incomplete or pending projects. So stop to think people...if that's the letter that everyone is referring to...well it's so sad to say that then...our new school board officers are the ones spreading the rumors and talking about other members. So let's be realistic...no one is perfect! Everyone was young at one point...everyone makes mistakes, the question is who has actually learned from them? But in reality...what the focus should be on is what's best for the school district & not on who wrote what or hates who, or who has a past. Look at the present what is being made to benefit the school and the children!
#15 Dec 13, 2012
The letter does exist n it was suppose to b distributed to the community per his request
#16 Dec 13, 2012
After the last board meeting, I have prayed and thought about the events that happen during the November 16, 2012 regular school board meeting and I have come to the following conclusion. It is very important that the board through the board president should assist the superintendent in leading the school district to an exemplary status. As you know years ago when I assisted Dr. Jones, we brought Webb C.I.S.D. to a magnet type school status. I believe the past two years, we have been headed in the correct direction to accomplish this goal again. I hope and pray that this new board continues in this direction. It doesnt surprise me that Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Mata wanted to make a point by voting me out from the presidents chair because they have personal problems with my family. My concern is that these kinds of issues should never influence a board members decision concerning our childrens education and taxpayers money. The thing about the meeting that discouraged and surprised me the most was when Mr. Salinas and Mr. Smith decided to remove me completely from any officers position. If these four individuals wanted to remove me as president I would understand but still wanted to take advantage of my years of board experience, knowledge of school finance, and knowledge of school law, they would have at least allowed me to be vice-president. This would have shown that the new majority of the board was willing to work with all the board members for the betterment of the school district.
Because of the above, I do not feel it proper or even desired by the majority of the board to conduct the December 3, 2012 new board orientation class. These types of duties are the responsibility of the existing board president (not Region One or myself). Also, you need to work with the new board president in developing your evaluation instrument that we will need by December 2012 for your January 2013 summative evaluation and later in June 2013 for your formative evaluation. Mrs. Mata will also be responsible for giving each board member the state and district required information for the evaluation. The board will also need to decide what they want to do about future wind generator tax abatements that will benefit our district and taxpayers because wind generator companies are already looking at our area for new projects.
#17 Dec 13, 2012
Within a month or two, we should be receiving through Webb County a check for $300,000.00 to build our agriculture/wind technology center. The board needs to decide how this building will be built and the curriculum and type of instruction that will be used for this program. I would like to inform you that David Morales Sr. has advised me that he will only be our construction manager agent for the completion of the girls softball field, the football field house, and home side parking lot. The only reason he worked on these major projects is because I assisted him with them. I have informed him that I will no longer be able to assist with any new construction projects. I feel the general consensus of the new board is that I should not be involved in these construction jobs as I have been in the past. However, Mr. Morales will still be willing to help our district on any minor construction or repair projects.
In preparation for financial decreases in the future around 2016 or 2017; I would suggest that the board president, superintendent, and other administrative staff members should plan a trip to McMullen County School District to see how they provide the education they do with their expense per WADA. Also as you and I mention at the last board meeting, the board and administration need to work with Moak, Casey and Associates to develop a financial bill that will protect Webb C.I.S.D. to present to the legislature in Austin Texas as soon as possible. Ive learned from my past experiences when the state developed the Robin Hood finance plan that it took many trips to Austin for Mr. Pete DeSpain and I to fight for funding laws that helped our district survive.
I look forward to working with you and the new board with the above projects and other progressive ideas for our children.
Please be advised I would like a copy of this letter to be shared with all board members, staff, and community (thru your Sanchez Notes).
#18 Dec 13, 2012
Your facts are a little off, the school in Mirando was closed because a lot of money was being spent and the kids were not getting educated. This is mismanagement of funds. It occurs when people on the board do not know what they are doing or put agenda ahead of education. The same thing can happen at WEBB. WEBB has to account for $ it spends, grades have to go up. Need to concentrate on education, not power plays. We each had a right to vote, but our votes were cancelled by people who were paid to drive in from Laredo and surrounding area. Fina does not even live here, but was paid to come run to hold a marshall seat. Adriana and Amy filled out mail in ballots for elderly people who have no idea who they voted for. Their families drove in and mailed in ballots from all over the state. You are correct the community is responsible, but the community cant be heard over the fraud. We need to find out why people who have lived out of the precinct for years still vote here (Amy's sister & Adriana's kids to name a few). That is fraud and needs to stop!
United States
#19 Dec 13, 2012
On another note....u state that the close was closed because the students weren't being educated....where does the board fall into place with the student's education??? Last time, I heard, the children were being educated by teachers...not board members. And as to the votes, I can't really say much there because idk if any of it is true or not...but u can't really say that they mailed out well over 100 votes can u? But regardless, elections come and go and people will always have a complain against someone in the ballots so in all reality it's just immature people being disrespectful towards eachother. No one will ever be happy...and people will always talk.
#20 Dec 13, 2012
Teachers do teach but the board approves the teachers....n if certain ppl r board members they will fire who is against them n hire who will b their puppets

How can I prevent fleas? Should I use Frontline?
I want to know how to PREVENT flea infestation.
What can I do as a pre-cautionary measure?

I've tried a variety of different flea treatments and Frontline seems to work the best by far. It's probably cheaper online, but can be bought at petstores (Petco is usually where I get it). Best of luck! :)

A non-monthly applicator flea, tick, mosquito medicine you can use is PETfection Bug Spray. It is 100% Organic and Non Toxic. It doesn't contain any chemicals and works great at preventing bites. It smells good too! I love it. Hope this helps.

hi Grumpy
although this may sound too late, but have you had a similar experience to mine after switching from Ford Focus original fuel cap with no lock into one with a lock: the Check Engine / Check Fuel Cap lights remain on all the time now that i have a lockable fuel cap!
there IS a solution to that but it won't work forever: i can reset the car's computer by unplugging the wires from the battery, and the two mentioned lights will go off, but the problem is that they'll go back on again after a couple of days!
is there any solution out there so that i could still keep the lockable cap in place instead of the original? (i still have the original fuel cap btw. could i take something out from that one and put inside the lockable cap for example? how does the car's computer recognize the original cap is missing: is there some special 'sensor' or anything inside the original fuel cap?)
any feedback by anyone would be highly appreciated!
many thanks

IPv6, the next generation Internet Protocol, has been in the works since the early 90s when the rapid growth of the Internet threatened to exhaust existing IP addresses. Drawing on 20 years--operational experience with the existing protocol (IPv4), the new protocol offers scalability, increased security features, real-time traffic support, and auto-configuration so that even a novice user can connect a machine to the Internet. But what does this mean for IT professionals? Having learned all the strengths and weaknesses of the old protocol, will you need to start from scratch with the new?IPv6 Essentials provides a succinct, in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6, guiding you through everything you?ll need to know to get started, including how to configure IPv6 on hosts and routers, and which applications currently support IPv6. Aimed at system and network administrators, engineers, network designers, and IT managers, this book will help you plan for, design, and integrate IPv6 into your current IPv4 infrastructure.Beginning with a short history of IPv6, author Silvia Hagen provides an overview of the new functionality and describes some live test and production networks that are using the new protocol. Hagen then shares exhaustive discussions of the new IPv6 header format and Extension Headers, IPv6 address format, and IPv6 message format. IPv6 Essentials also covers:
Silvia Hagen has been in the networking industry since 1990, and became a CNE and CNI in 1992. She began her career as a successful instructor, and has trained hundreds of system engineers. Today she is CEO of Sunny Connection AG in Switzerland and works as a senior consultant and analyst for many mid-size and large sized companies. Her expertise is in Directory Services and Protocol Analysis. She is the author of the successful book 'Novell's Guide to Troubleshooting TCP/IP', published by Novell Press and 'SLP - Guide to Service Location Protocol', published by Podbooks. She also presents internationally on various networking topics for Universities, Novell's Brainshare, NetWare Users International Conferences and also offers customized corporate presentations.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of IPv6 Essentials is a rigatella snail. The rigatella snail, or Eobania vermiculata, is native to the Mediterranean region, especially to Turkey and Crete. The snail lives in gardens, hedges, and dunes, where it feeds on vegetation. The snail got its scientific name because the rings on its shell resemble vermicelli (a type of pasta). It is also sometimes called the "noodle snail."Rigatella snails commonly have about five brown rings on their cream-colored shells. Their eyes sit on stalks, or tentacles, which protrude from their heads. The snails are 17 to 21 millimeters high and 20 to 25 millimeters wide. They move by rhythmically contracting their muscular base, or foot. As they move, the snails secrete a colorless discharge that creates a type of carpet, which protects them from the surfaces on which they travel. This discharge is so effective that a snail could crawl along the blade of a razor and not be cut.Rigatella snails are edible. They are one of the most popular types of snail used to make the European delicacy, escargots. Claire Cloutier was the production editor for IPv6 Essentials.

What kind of piece of shit god creates a world based on hostility, fear, survival?
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
Nature is not peaceful. Animals forced to eat or be eaten, kill or be killed. Constant suffering.. a life dominated by fear to survive.
If god existed and was the all powerful creator, why did it create a world where such hostile conditions of causing death to another life form is needed? To get a kick out of it?
This leaves 2 probable options:
1. god is an evil son of a bitch, and those who worship such a thing are just as bad.
2. there is no god
Anonymous Coward 11421136
You'd rather live in big biodome that grows food for you and cleans up after you?
Oh wait.
The best float to the top, survival of the fittest.
1. I wouldn't say evil.. I'd say the framework of a computer game that is playing against you. Do you want the game to be easy, or would you rather be challenged? I'd rather see you fight cancer than eat cheetos in your mom's basement.
2. Who's fault is the suffering? The tens of thousands of people who die of starvation in sub-Saharan Africa each day.. Is God punishing them, or are they breeding at a rate their agricultural systems and Billions of dollars of US aid can't support?
Families suffering from acts of terrorism.. Does God give guns to crazy people, or do people make video games and movies and music and share information that create crazy people?
Free will.
Everything is your fault.
If you want, we can wipe the slate and start over?
- God
Anonymous Coward 24153124
Hi, It is me again...God. You might wonder where I am when all these things happen on the earth. I hope you remember that I created you out of dirt so I can do with you exactly what I want. You are pieces of shit to me. I couldn't care less if innocent children die or starve to death. I purposesly created Africa so that the land would not be conducive to growing crops. You see, I do so love to watch children die and it is even more fun to watch them suffer.
You stupid people always make the EXACT same mistake when you think about me. You think I love you, but you are DEAD wrong. I look at all of you like the animals that you are. That is why I do NOTHING at all to stop anything bad that comes your way. I just sit up in heaven and watch. I enjoy the show. You animals think I love Christians. I look at you as some of the worst. That is why you see America in such bad shape. While I am laughing, you turds have the highest crime rate in the nation.
That's right. You are all delusional if you think I love ANY of you. I hate you all. Fred Phelps is right...even though I hate him and his followers also. All of you are in hell, and when you die, hell will be infinitely worse. You will be tortured there, day and night. The fire will never go out while you scream in unbearable pain. I will make the worm crawl through you and eat you alive and the pain will never stop. I, God, have spoken.
The only people that will be with me will be the perfect. I choose them. It is called predestination. That is why the road is narrow and only a very few find the way. So I allow everything here. The self-righteous look down their noses on sinners, just like the Pharisees. I always call them "Sons of Satan" since they will go to the lake of fire with him. Simply put, I am not GOOD because I don't have to be. I do not LOVE ANY OF YOU. I hate you all.
Anonymous Coward 20657814
Is Africa not conductive to growing crops because God made it so, or is it because the African people are hundreds of years behind the rest of civilization?
They are cutting down rain forests and grazing cattle; do you understand the ecological consequences of that action?
God doesn't want to see children die, but unfortunately he's cognacent of the rate at which they do. He's cognacent of all of the shit man has created within his reality. It's exhausting, mentally and emotionally.
God is here with you.
God doesn't live in Heaven.
God plays a character in the reality he created.
You're right about the Hell bit, but I don't know who Fred Phelps is. Man decides if he wants his reality to be Heaven or Hell. His actions make it so. Do you understand?
Anonymous Coward 24153124
You know, I think I have read thousands upon thousands of peoples' descriptions of their garden variety of Gods on this website. I find it suspicious that all their descriptions are different. If God was really REAL, wouldn't you make the assumption that he would make completely sure we knew if he was actually real?
Look at you, so sure you know the mind of God. But you are an ignorant animal that shits, has sex, and probably eats like a glutton. You are so delusional that it is silly. You say that God doesn't WANT to see children die. Well, I don't know, I always thought God was the king of the land. His will is always done, on heaven and on earth. So if you believe in the Bible, which you will probably say you don't, then you would know that God has all the power and can do ANYTHING he wants.
If Africa has starving people, could not God do something about it? IS he POWERLESS? Is he sitting up in heaven wiping his butt because he had a case of diarrhea? Is God playing poker with some angels so he just doesn't have time to check on starving kids? Is God just a stupid fallible human being, like you? I think the God you described IS YOU. That is it in a nutshell.
You give God all the characteristics that YOU want him to have. You don't particularly care if he watches while children are raped or tortured or torn to bits by pit bulls. You don't care that God sends tsunamis to wash away men, women, infants, animals, and these people are of Islam faith and Christian faith, etc. You don't care that God doesn't respect a person's color or religion or dogma. He is God so he can do anything he wants...just not to you or your family. You are a very immature adult, if you are an adult.
You say God doesn't live in heaven. You are sure right about that. God lives inside YOU...that is why God will always be a carbon copy of you. You have such a huge ego that you think you are God. God likes what you like, hates what you hate, has the same enemies as you. For instance, Fred Phelps, you don't like him so God doesn't like him. GROW UP...THERE IS NO GOD!!!
You seem to be okay with God torturing people after they die. You think hell is a "cool" idea. I guess you would be okay if anyone ended up there, in pain forever and ever, just as long as it isn't you or anyone you love. And, conveniently, because GOD IS YOU, you don't worry about going to hell. Because you think you know the mind of God, you believe you are safe and saved. You really do need to grow up.
Please verify you're human:

Microsoft has announced it most recent financial results today and they have shown that the software giant has fallen behind Apple in terms of profits and revenue.
Last week Apple recorded profits of $6 billion with revenues of $24 billion for the first three months of 2011. Today Microsoft announced profits of $5.2 billion on revenues of $16.4 billion, which were up, year-on-year, by 31 and 13 percent respectively. Despite the large jump in profit, the fact that Apple has leaped ahead of Microsoft will be seen as a key moment for both companies coming as it does after Apple overtook Microsoft in terms of market capitalisation last year. The success of the iPad and iPhone will obviously be seen as a key factor affecting these results but the success of Android will also be seen as another factor affecting Microsoft's PC market.
Looking at the results themselves, Microsoft will be worried by the slide in sales of the Windows 7 OS by 4 percent and the market felt similarly as shares in the company fell following the announcement. On the plus side, sales of its Office applications grew during the quarter and revenue at the firm's Entertainment and Devices division grew by 60 percent, fuelled by sales of Xbox consoles and Kinect controllers. "Consumers are purchasing Office 2010, Xbox and Kinect at tremendous rates, and businesses of all sizes are purchasing Microsoft platforms and applications," said chief financial officer Peter Klein.
With strong uptake of its cloud-computing service, Microsoft will need to look to growth areas such as this to bolster its profits into the future as competition from Apple and Google grows.

The EU is ordering Apple to pay additional taxes on past years, and both Apple and Ireland are pissed about it. What's going on?
Volkswagen is due in court to announce a settlement with the EPA or face criminal trial tomorrow, even as an investigation has uncovered that the roots of its dieselgate cheating software go all the way back to Audi, circa 1999.
Ever since the VW scandal broke, the company has maintained that it knew nothing about the actions of a few rogue engineers. New documents are knocking substantial holes in that theory.
VW announces its plan to fix emissions on current European vehicles, has yet to reach equivalent deal with EPA.
VW has finally come clean — we think. As it stands now, every single VW and Audi diesel vehicle sold in the US from 2009 to 2015 cheated on its emission tests.
The EU is going to investigate Samsung and other TV manufacturers for allegedly lying on energy ratings.
Google has filed its response to the EU's antitrust allegations and categorically denies all misbehavior.
At IDF this week, Intel revealed some of the details of its new Skylake GPU. Look for 64-128MB caches coming to more chips and overall improved performance.
Qualcomm is under investigation by the European Commission for alleged improper behavior and predatory pricing. The company denies the allegations.
Uh-oh, Google is in hot water with the European Union. Allegedly, Google started manipulating search results in some European markets as early as January 2008, and the European Commission is not happy about it. Now, Google has until August 17th to respond to the commission's claims.
For the past five years, Microsoft has been forced to offer first-time Windows users in Europe a choice of web browser. This was a result of an EU ruling in 2009, which found that Microsoft had been unfairly abusing its operating system monopoly to push Internet Explorer into the hands of millions of unwitting, unfortunate users. Now, however, Microsoft is once again free to make Internet Explorer the default web browser in Windows.

Re: Mathematica bug??
Apologies ... this was a side effect of redefining 'Power' / the infix
operator ^ to do wedge products for differential forms. Apparently
Inverse calls Power during this inversion, at least for some of the
terms (?). Hence the bug.
The code worked when I wrote it (found it?) 10 years ago, ugly as it
was. But mathematica changes since then make this old kludge fail.

Fracking methane
The Howarth et al paper estimating the climatic impact of shale gas extraction by hydraulic fracturing (fracking) has provoked a number of responses across the media. Since the issue of natural gas vs. coal or oil, and the specifics of fracking itself are established and growing public issues, most commentary has served to bolster any particular commenter's prior position on some aspect of this. So far, so unsurprising. However, one aspect of the Howarth study uses work that I've been involved in to better estimate the indirect effects of short-lived emissions (including methane, the dominant component of shale gas). Seeing how this specific piece of science is being brought into a policy debate is rather interesting.
The basic issue is that for any real economic or industrial activity there are a variety of emissions associated with the life cycle of that activity – from construction, transport of fuels, operating emissions, end products etc. In deciding whether one activity is 'better' or 'worse' than an alternative, people need to have an assessment of the cost, the carbon footprint, other impacts etc., over that whole life cycle. There are of course different elements to this (cost, pollution, social issues) that need to weighed up, but one piece that is amenable to scientific analysis is the impact on climate drivers.
Calculating the net climate impact of an activity requires tracking many different emissions (not just CO2), and accounting for their (time-varying) impact on radiatively active components of the atmosphere or the properties of the affected land surface. While straightforward in conception, this can be complex and, inevitably, there are uncertainties in assessing all the knock-on effects. Over the years, many of the complexities have become better acknowledged which, in some cases, increases the total uncertainty, but the alternative of assuming that the indirect effects have zero impact with zero uncertainty is not tenable.
For shale gas extraction, (and indeed for most fossil fuel extraction), a big issue is fugitive emissions. These are emissions that arise by accident – mostly consisting of methane, but also other volatile organic compounds – as a function of the mining, refining, transport, or incomplete combustion. Since methane is a relatively powerful greenhouse gas whose source is dominated by anthropogenic activities at present, the impact of the fugitive emissions can be a significant component of the climate forcing associated with any activity.
The Howarth study, using admittedly poor observations (for lack of anything better), has come up with a relatively large potential for fugitive emissions from the fracking process itself – up to a few percent of the extracted gas. Converting this into an equivalent CO2 amount (for comparison with the impact of the gas once it is combusted), they have used Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) from Shindell et al (2009) (a paper I co-authored). A GWP is a kilo-for-kilo comparison of the radiative forcing associated with the emission of particular substance compared to CO2, integrated over a specific time frame. For a long-lived gas like CO2, forcing persists over a long time, while for a shorter lived species (like methane), the forcing goes down faster with time. Therefore the time frame for the GWP calculation matters a lot for the relative importance of the two gases. Methane is relatively more important for a 20 year time frame, than it is for a 100 year time frame, by about a factor of 3.
There are indirect effects from methane emissions because it is chemically reactive in the atmosphere. It contributes to increases in tropospheric ozone and stratospheric water vapour (increasing the warming impact), and by changing the oxidising capacity of the atmosphere, affects it's own lifetime, and that of SO2 and NOx – which in turn affects aerosol formation, and indeed aerosol-cloud interactions. The IPCC (2007) report had acknowledged the potential for these indirect issues, but had not given any numbers. The Shindell et al paper was an attempt to fill that gap. As we discussed previously:

Who would you look to as role models in your faith life? The Bible is full of ordinary men and women who lived extraordinary lives because they were surrendered to the will of God. KGF will be unpacking 10 such individuals during the months of January & February, five on the weekend services, and five in our Life Groups,
January 17th – Abraham – Faith Under Fire
(Life Group Study – Nathan)
January 24th – Joshua – Tent of Meeting
(Life Group Study – Hannah)
January 31st – Moses – What's In Your Hand?
(Life Group Study – Miriam & Aaron)
February 7th – Gideon – Unconventional Wisdom
(Life Group Study – Elijah)
February 14th – Esther – For Such A Time as This
(Life Group Study – Daniel)
Life Groups
We are launching 13 Life Groups this week, in conjunction with our "Ordinary Heroes" series. These groups meet weekly for five weeks in a home around Kelowna. Our vision for Life Groups is to create a small group environment where people of all ages and stages of their journey with Jesus can be known by God and others, and are encouraged to move forward in impacting lives with the love of Christ. If you don't know which group you're in, or want to join one, email [email protected] or call 250-763-6553.
To coincide with this series, we are making available Max Lucado's book "Cast of Characters". It's a great devotional look at how God uses ordinary people for extraordinary things. You can pick it up Sunday morning for $15.

Sophie has been charming and sweet since the day she arrived! At first we thought she was bark-less because we didn't hear a peep from her but that was not the case. She is inquisitive and tolerant of the two cats that live in our house.
She has recently NOT been chewing cat toys and loves her own toys and bed. We had a kennel for her for the first year we had her but we used it as a bed instead of lock-down. We did locker her up when we were not home but that was for her own safety and less destruction to furniture. For the past year she does not have a 'cage' anymore and we count our blessings constantly that she is so well behaved!
If she is going more than for hours by herself at home I take her to work at the hockey rink and she is a peach with my co-workers and being on her own for moderate periods of time.
Such a sweety!

Phoenix Zoo Discount & Sea Life Aquarium Discount ~ Oh, & MUCH MORE!! :)
The giveaway is over, but you can still get a great price on tickets!! Congrats to Michelle S!
If you haven't analyzed all the venues and value, you really must! If you were going to Sunsplash anyway, it's practically paid off. Last season, adults were $29.99 and kids were $19.99. So many other venues also have high values and even allow you to visit multiple times. If you are an active family, this will pay off!
I'm going to copy the information I've posted about it below.
Use code: BARGAIN
You can use the Pogo Pass right away or choose the gift option to start it when you (or someone else) want.
They are working on adding even more venues, and if they do, you'll get admission to those places as well!
With the discount code BARGAIN, you will pay only $39.98 for a Pogo pass (reg. $100). If you paid for each individual venue, I don't even know what it would be — A LOT more!
Use the code BARGAIN to get it all for $39.98.
Here's what you get:
- Sunsplash (anytime, valid this upcoming season)
- Sea Life Aquarium (TWO visits, anytime)
- Phoenix Zoo (TWO visits, Monday – Friday only)
- Diamondbacks Games (TWO games)
Note: The season is over and it's not sure that this will be included next year, so ??
- Rattlers Games (THREE games, dates will be added for next season)
- Arizona Museum of Natural History (anytime)
- ASU Sporting Events (women's basketball, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, gymnastics, track and field)
- Enchanted Island (FOUR visits, Fridays & Saturdays, most rides included)
- Jump Street (TWO visits, Monday & Wednesdays, Chandler or Glendale)
- Stratum Laser Tag (TWO visits, dates and times listed)
- Phoenix Rock Gym (TWO visits, gear is $5, if needed)
- Tempe Paintball (TWELVE visits, one per month, not Saturdays, includes gun rental, air & 100 paintballs!)
- National Comedy Theatre (SIX visits,
- Skateland & Great Skate (TWO visits per month, skate rental not included, but can bring your own)
- Brunswick Zone (TWO visits per week, shoe rental not included, excludes Sat. and some other special days)
** Note if it's good for two+ admissions, it's for different days, same person. Each person in your party needs a pass.
You will get an email right away. You can print that and use it right away or just pull it up on your mobile, whenever you need it. My only caution to you is to check the days it's accepted at each location. Their website is great at explaining how everything works and what's included, but some have restrictions. However, many don't have any day/time restrictions on them.
Giveaway time! One winner will get two Pogo passes! To enter this giveaway . . . Leave a separate comment for any number(s) listed below, no more than three total, separate entries. ("I don't follow" or "I don't have" answers will be removed and won't count as an entry.) I use a program that automatically chooses the winner, so if you combine answers into one comment, it's viewed as only one entry and won't increase your chance of winning. LEAVE SEPARATE COMMENTS! 1) What venue do you think will be you or your family's favorite?
2) Follow Bargain Believer on Facebook, Twitter, or by RSS feed (or say that you already do).
3) Subscribe to Bargain Believer emails (or say that you already do)
(Make sure you click on the confirmation email that you'll receive or you're not subscribed.)
The giveaway will end on Monday, March 3rd at 8pm AZ time. I will email the winner and they will have 48 hours to respond. If I don't hear back from the winner by then, I will have to choose new one. (I am an affiliate with Pogo Pass, but truly believe in the value of these passes –I paid for ours! The Pogo Pass sales rep. provided these tickets for the giveaway.)
Don't miss a deal! Follow on: Facebook, email, RSS, or Twitter.

Hi kelstar,
Lol, I can remember being in highschool and people pointing out my gray hairs. Now I wish I only had what they were making fun of.
Which at-home color do you use? Do you wash with sulfates?
Highlights are gorgeous and highly addictive, but can be super expensive and time consuming. After I touch up my roots I actually use Loreal's touch on highlights in between getting highlights done professionally which lately has been once every 3 months, lol. Using my shipping scale I divide the contents in the box into 3 uses instead of one use and throwing all of the leftover dye out.

"From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it." -- Katharine Whitehorn
Toys Are Us
In the spirit of the holidays, we interrupt the regularly scheduled program for a special report on toys. After all, what would Christmas be without toys?
Well, Toymax International (Nasdaq: TMAX) late yesterday warned that its fiscal third quarter earnings will fall short of analysts' expectations due to "restricted buying patterns at our customers." In plain-speak, this means that toy retailers aren't reordering as many toys as the toy maker had anticipated. In a telling statement that doesn't speak well of the toy market, the company said, "Given the current state of the industry, we are very pleased to have increases over last year." Toymax makes such toys as Creepy Crawlers, the Arcadia Electronic Skeet Shoot game system, R.A.D. Robot, and Mighty Mo's vehicles.
Meanwhile, toy maker Hasbro (NYSE: HAS) has reportedly paid Time Warner Inc.'s (NYSE: TWX) Warner Brothers studio an "undisclosed seven-figure sum" to settle a lawsuit over the uncanny resemblance between its hot, interactive Furby toy and Gizmo, the star of the movie studio's 1984 hit Gremlins, according to the Daily Variety. Also, Hasbro's Tiger Electronics reportedly will redesign the popular animated "pet." But a Warner Brothers spokeswoman told the Associated Press that the report was unwarranted and that there's no pending litigation against Hasbro. If Furbys are to be redesigned, that would further increase the value of the little critters, which have sold for $130 in Internet auctions -- the suggested retail price: $30.
Speaking of toys, don't miss a war of words over toy retailing giant Toys "R" Us (NYSE: TOY) in this week's Dueling Fools. We now return to the regularly scheduled program already in progress.
News to Go
Computer chip maker Micron Technology (Nasdaq: MU) reported a fiscal first quarter loss of $0.19 a share, compared with a profit of $0.03 in the same year-earlier period and a loss of $0.43 in the preceding quarter. The Q1 loss was better than analysts' mean estimate of a loss of $0.28 a share. Micron said results are improving due to improved pricing for its semiconductor memory products.
The Federal Reserve formally shifted its policy position to neutral -- to lean neither toward higher nor lower interest rates -- at its November meeting on expectation that it won't need to further cut interest rates any time soon, according to The Wall Street Journal's Fed guru David Wessel. The Fed left interest rates unchanged when it met Tuesday and isn't scheduled to reconvene until early February.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) unloaded its entire 9.4% interest in Kia Motors Corp., the bankrupt South Korean car maker that was taken over by rival Hyundai Motor Co. earlier this month, on J.P. Morgan (NYSE: JPM), which bought the stake for roughly $11 million. Ford, which had paid $250 million for that stake, still owns a part of Kia through its Japanese affiliate Mazda Motor Co., which holds a 7.5% interest.
Independent energy exploration and development company Rutherford-Moran Oil Corp. (Nasdaq: RMOC) agreed to be acquired by Chevron (NYSE: CHV) for around $91 million, or $3.50 a share, in stock, and assumption of debt totaling more than $302 million. See our piece on Rutherford-Moran in our Year in Review collection.
Believe it or not, the partnership that runs Long-Term Capital Management LP may collect up to $50 million in year-end "performance fees" just three months after the hedge fund had to be bailed out of bankruptcy by 14 banks and brokerage firms, The Wall Street Journal reported. As of the end of November, the bailout consortium had made $400 million from the $3.625 billion it invested.

More of a ferry than a cruise ship: Richard With Cruise Review by Mrs Perle Dilworth
Overall Member Rating
More of a ferry than a cruise ship
Destination: Other
Embarkation: Other
The cabin was nice and plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space meant we could fully unpack. However there was nowhere to stash the suitcases. The bathrooms also had a cupboard for the storage of toiletries but the showere itself was very small and only had a curtain. All in all it was pleasant.
The set menu in the restaurant is not really a good idea. There should be two choices. For those who do not like fish they will do a meat dish otherwise you eat what you are given. The food is adequate and well presented but by no means gourmet. The waiting staff are delightful and very helpful.
The prices for wine was attrocious - the equivalent of £40 plus, beers were the equivalent of £8 and the snacks in the 24 hour cafe also very high [£9 for a bowl of soup!] They do a hot More drink deal for the equivalent of £25 - you buy the insulated mug and can refill it at any time free of charge, still not cheap but over a few days you get your money's worth and can take the mug home.
The staff on board were very nice in the main although the barman on the top deck is a bit surly.
We had a very pleasant, quiet time, in spite of someone's loud mobile telephone calls but would not sail with Hurtigruten again. Less

I have a date with destiny. An annual but moveable feast, this year occurring a little earlier than usual thanks to a snow free winter and kind spring.
Each year I look forward to the British Asparagus season more and more. I'm no longer fooled or seduced by woody substitutes hailing from Peru, instead I prefer to wait for the homegrown spears and gorge myself silly over a period of just a few weeks.
This year I'm a little ahead of schedule and well into my gorging period which began when my local fruit van rolled around with the first British asparagus spears in late April. I have to admit they weren't quite there yet, but as they were the first of the season I was willing to forgive their imperfections.
By now you should be able to source absolutely perfect asparagus, you don't want anything too fat or fibrous, just about the thickness of your pinkie is perfect and they should be firm and rigid. The best way to test asparagus is to hold it by the tips, one end between your left thumb and forefinger and the other between your right thumb and forefinger, apply a bit of downward pressure until the spear arcs and eventually snaps. It should break with a clean satisfying snap.
Having established your asparagus is snappy fresh, proceed with caution, combining it with strong, overpowering flavours in fanciful dishes will simply mask that peculiar, bittersweet hit. Instead go simple, soft boil an egg – a duck if you really must go wild – sit down and get dunking, and sooking.
Here are a few other simple ways with asparagus:
Elizabeth David's Sauce Gribiche
This classic Elizabeth David sauce is a bit like salsa verde but the egg gives it an unctuous, creamy finish. It is the perfect accompaniment to asparagus and chicken, somehow cold, roast leftovers fit the bill, maybe with some new potatoes, but don't let that put you off roasting, or grilling your chook fresh.
1 greedy bunch fresh British asparagus
2-3 free range eggs
1tbsp shallot, or onion, very finely chopped
1tbsp cornichons, or gherkins finely chopped
1tbsp of parsley, finely chopped
A strip, or two of lemon zest, finely chopped
1tsp Dijon mustard
2tbsp of white wine vinegar
300 ml oil
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the asparagus either by plunging into boiling water for around 4mins, or steaming for around 8mins, until the spears are just tender at their thickest point.
Meanwhile, boil the eggs until the yolks are squidgy – better a little runny than hard and dry. Drain and, still in their shells, cool in cold water.
Mix the shallot, cornichons, parsely and lemon zest in a bowl, add the Dijon and white wine vinegar whisking as you go. Halve the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Add the squidgy yolks, mashing them into the mix, finely chop the whites and set aside. Begin adding the olive oil, whisking continuously until you have a smooth shiny consistency. Season to taste and add the chopped egg whites.
Alternatively you can process the lot using a food processor or hand blender then add the chopped egg white, the result will be smoother and less rustic but just as tasty.
Serve alongside the asparagus, and perhaps the chicken. Just a dab of the sauce is enough to pep things up without overpowering.
From French Provincial Cooking, by Elizabeth David.
Ribboned asparagus salad with avocado dressing
This recipe hails from a much more contemporary and experimental source, a book called Green Kitchen Stories, written by two impossibly cool Scandi types who can cook, look good and all the usual things the rest of struggle to do. They are of course strictly vegetarian but I reckon this delicious, virtuous salad is best served with a juicy char grilled lamb steak, that might or might not have been lightly smothered in a mashed garlic and anchovy paste.
800g asparagus
1 cucumber
16 cherry tomatoes
100g flat-leaf parsley
20g Parmesan, freshly grated
For the dressing
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
½ ripe avocado, stone removed
Salt and black pepper
Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus (as above). Using a vegetable peeler and starting from the bottom end of the asparagus, shave upwards to create thin ribbons. Place all the ribbons in a large serving bowl.
Slice the cucumber lengthways and cut into bite-size pieces. Cut the tomatoes in half and coarsely chop the parsley. Add these to the bowl.
Place the dressing ingredients in a blender and blitz until creamy. Add a dash of oil or water if necessary. Dress and toss the salad so it's evenly coated.
Top with Parmesan shavings, and serve with your juicy lamb steak.
Risotto with Asparagus
Risotto may take slightly more effort to throw together than the previous two recipes but it's light, creamy comfort is suited to spring days that turn into cold evenings and the wonderful thing about this dish is that the wonderful asparagus flavour is carried into every morsel, instead of an intense nibble from a single spear the whole risotto is infused with asparagus.
Serves 4
1kg asparagus
1.25l chicken stock made with 1 stock cube
1 onion, finely chopped
50g butter
750ml, 1 bottle dry white wine
350g Arborio rice
3-4 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Wash and peel the asparagus. Cut or snap off the tips and set aside. Boil the stalks in the stock until very tender. Lift them out and puree them in a food processor or blender with a little of the stock. Strain any hard stringy bits and return the asparagus puree to the pan with the stock. In another saucepan, steam, or boil the asparagus tips in salted water until only just tender.
In a large pan, fry the onion in half the butter until soft. Add the rice and stir, coating the grains in the butter. Pour in the wine, bring to the boil, add salt and pepper, and simmer gently, stirring all the time. Add the stock with asparagus puree a ladle at a time, as it becomes absorbed, stirring often, if not always. Keep going until the rice is creamy and al dente, some people like their rice with more bite than others, it's really a matter of taste. If you run out of stock add a little water.
Stir in the remaining butter and Parmesan. Serve with asparagus tips as a garnish, or stirred through the risotto if you prefer.
Italians would serve this as a starter but for me it's the main event usually with a soft, green leaved salad.

How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
this is a How To document for anyone who doesn't have an FSM or doesn't know how to change brake pads and rotors.
This was done on a 98 Seville. These are the rear pads and rotors but the front if i remember correctly is similar.
Tools Required: 12mm, 15mm sockets or box wrenches, caliper piston socket tool, Jack & Jack Stands.
Complete set of pictures are here: http://gallery.iametarq.com/photos/c...%20sls/brakes/
Before starting the procedure it is sometimes necessary to remove the cap from the brake fluid resevoir and remove some of the fluid so it does not over flow when turning the caliper piston. I have never had this happen before, but if you are uncertain you should check with a professional. Some also bleed the brake lines, but I have never done this for just changing rotors and pads, and I have not had any issues in not doing so. If you DO have problems braking, such as petal going all the way to the floor, you may need to bleed your lines to remove air. This document should be used as a reference and not as law. I am not a certified mechanic, GM has no affiliation with me, nor does any repair manual. With that being said...
1. Loosen all the lugs on the wheels.
2. Raise the vehicle properly and secure with jack stands.
3. Remove the wheels.
4. when you remove the wheels you will see the following:
5. Remove the Brake Pad Wear Sensor by removing the silver clip seen in the picture below. It has the black wire going into the back side of the silver clip. The sensor is set in an intent in the brake pad. Remove/Unplug any other sensors you feel might get in the way of the repair and keep them out of the way.
6. Remove the lower caliper bolt by using a 12mm socket. Be careful not to strip the head if it is frozen on place. image below:
7: Lift the caliper from the bottom and support it/hang it with a wire coat hanger. If your caliper wont budge like mine wouldn't I used a pry bar, VERY CAREFULLY on the bottom edge of the caliper for some extra leverage. You don't want to damage the brake fluid line going into the caliper. At this point you are supposed to remove the parking brake cable but for the life of me, I have never been able to get it off, so I leave it as is. Once the caliper is lifted you can pull off the inner and outer brake pads.
8. Using the caliper piston tool you already picked up from the auto parts store you will need to twist the caliper piston back into the caliper as far as it will go in preparation for the new brake pads. Do it slowly, it's a bit time consuming anyway. If you don't need to replace your rotors skip to step 12.
9. Now that you have supported the caliper and removed the old brake pads, it is time to remove the large metal 'guard' the the caliper is attached to in order to remove the old rotor. This requires a 15mm socket, and probably a VERY long handled wratchet. i had to use my 24" torque ratchet. There are two bolts, one on top, one on bottom. You can see my socket on the lower one in this picture:
10. Now that you have removed the two bolts support the caliper and guard somehow, so they are not dangling. this will prevent damage to the brake line and parking brake cable. You will now have a naked wheel hub:
11. Put on your new rotors and put the two 15mm bolts back in place and tighten them. I didn't have my FSM handy but I torqued them down to 50lbs, official torque is 94lbs.
12. I don't know if this is necessary anymore, but i apply a bit of anti-squeel compound to the backs of the brake pads. let it dry for about 5 minutes then reinstall the brake pads, while holding the caliper (it should still be hanging by the coat hanger, anyway) in the UP position. Sorry no picture if JUST the pads on with out the caliper in the installed position.
13. Put the caliper back into position and reinstall the lower caliper bolt and torque it down with 20lbs. "Plug" the Brake Pad Wear Sensor back into the indent on the brake pad.
14. Double check that any sensors that were unplugged are attached again, and make sure all your bolts are properly torqued back in.
15. Install your wheel, hand tighten lugs, lower vehicle, torque lug nuts to 100lbs.
16. Start the car and pump the brake petal until it is firm again.
17. Take car for test drive.
18. Give yourself a pat on the back.
**disclaimer: i am not responsible for any unfortunate turn of events due to user error in this procedure. if you don't feel comfortable doing this, have a professional do it for you.
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
Very nice job. Where were you when I was learning this stuff?
One step missing though. After the job is finished and BEFORE you go for that little test drive, pump the brakes a few times to get your pedal back!
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
Ape man, I did forgot to write that step down!! I'll add it.
I have noticed that on the Seville, the brakes dont get nearly as squishy after a brake job as they do on my chrysler, it takes about 10 pumps to get those firm again. but the chrysler and brakes is a whole other bucket o' problems.

Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
Just for the record (1998 Sevilles):
Rear brake caliper anchor bolt torque = 94 Lb Ft
Rear brake caliper pin bolt torque = 20 Lb Ft
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
94lb Ft for those two rear bolts!? damn that's high. No wonder I couldn't get them off with my little ratchet.
Thanks for the official specs Jim!
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
This is a very nice write up... nice job.
I have a question: instead of this caliper piston tool... let me back up. Somewhere around step 6, I get out a 6" (big) C-Clamp, put it around the calipers in what looks like a centered position over the whole assembly, and start turning it in SLOWLY. Like, 1/2 a turn, wait 20 seconds, 1/2 a turn, wait 20 seconds....
This takes a few minutes, but eventually, the piston is all the way in.
Then, I believe in your step 6 or 7, when you remove those caliper bolts, the caliper comes right off, no prybar. You removed the tension by pushing in the piston already.
And no special piston tool required, just a big C-Clamp. The piston will already be pushed in.
My question is, am I doing this wrong??? Is there a problem with my method??? I was shown this way by a mechanic, but this was in the mid-1990's, so.... am I wrong to do it this way??? I have done a couple dozen GM cars this way, I never noticed a problem, but I would like to know if I'm wrong...

Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
I have also read what Don stated above about using a C - Clamp on the rears. The little tool to turn the piston into the caliper is only $4 or something at the parts store. I actually had to get one because I was doing the brakes on a Ford for a desperate friend of mine and I had never seen it before.
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
That's real good info, thanks for your replies.
Come to think of it, I have drums on the rear of the Tahoe, and the friends/relatives cars I was just doing the front.
I foolishly assumed the rears were the same.
Thanks guys. I appreciate your responses. I will go get the tool.
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, DocumentedOriginally Posted by Patrick7997
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
Nice job. One other thing I would add: That fluid has to go somewhere when you screw/compress the caliper pistons. Start by taking the cap off of the brake reservoir so that the fluid/pressure has somewhere to go. You may even have to draw some fluid off first if it's really full and your brakes are badly worn.
I also recommend spraying down the rotor with brake cleaner to remove greasy fingerprints before everything goes back together.
Those of you installing non-OEM style pads without the sensor holes will need to tie back the harness plugs so that they don't get damaged. You may want to reuse the warning system someday.
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
good points. I didn't clean anything this time, since everything was pretty damn clean, and i'm not too bad at not getting my hands dirty during the job...
I did mention removing the resevoir cap and some fluid in the 1st paragraph of the how to.
the chrysler on the other hand...that's another story.
Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
Another good tip while doing brakes: buy a vacuum pump, and replace the old brake fluid. You can get a pump for about $25 - $100+, depending on what you want. I have a cheapy one. Real easy too. After doing the brake job, remove as much old fluid from the reservoir as possible. Top it off with fresh fluid. Attatch the pump to the bleeder screw (after placing an appropriate box wrench on the screw), pump up the vacuum, and crack the bleeder screw. I keep the pump going (hand pressure, really gives the forearms a workout). until the fluid runs clear. Close the bleeder screw, and top off the reservoir. Having dirty contaminated fluid in a brake system, with fresh pads and rotors, is like changing the oil filter, and leaving in the old oil (well maybe not as bad). Brake fluid is the most neglected fluid in the car. There are cars that are 10 - 20 years old, that have the same fluid that came from the factory. Brake fluid absorbs moisture (water), and will rust and eat away brake lines in a hurry. If you change out your fluid when you change your pads, your brakes will perform much better, and your equipment will last alot longer. Plus, it is cheap. Brake fluid is cheap. And the pump isn't expensive either, and can be used until you break it.

Re: How To: Change Rear Brake Pads & Rotors, Documented
odd. i lost the edit button on the original post! i'll try when i am at work today. i forgot to add the part about cleaning the brake parts with brake cleaner that EcSTSatic mentioned!

Not enough capacity by half?
Whatever negative comments we have about the XD4's software, there's no ignoring the solid performance the drive put in during our tests. Having reformatted the drive to the cross-platform FAT32 file system - it's pre-formatted as an NTFS volume - we connected it directly to a MacBook Air's USB 2.0 port and copied first a 2GB file and then a folder containing 100 10MB files. The file and folder were then duplicated on the drive itself, and we repeated the tests half a dozen times and averaged the data-transfer speeds.

As you can see, the XD4 is no slouch, beating Samsung's Story Station on one operation and falling right behind it on the rest.

LG wants around £85 for the XD4, but we've seen it on sale for £70 before P&P. Such discounts take it into the price band that most 500GB desktop external hard drives occupy. LG's bundled software is below par - not that most others are in any way impressive. But since it's a nicely made, good looking drive and a decent performer, we're not overly concerned.
No, we just can't see the point of buying a £70 external drive - good though it is - when you can pay a tenner more and get a good 1TB drive like the Samsung Story.
Quirks aside, LG's XD4 is a good external hard drive that performs well and, compared to the competition, isn't unreasonably priced. But it's clearly a lot less value than drives offering twice the storage capacity. ®
