Waitress spat at me – avoid at all costs
I would avoid going to here; dreadful food, atrocious service and they have a staff member who is extremely aggressive and vicious – this waitress spat at me and colleagues when we disputed the bill due to their bad service.
Went with workmates as we were due to attend a play next door. We arrived for our booking a 6pm thinking we had plenty of time to make the 7.30pm show. We were wrong. It took a significant amount of time for our order to be taken. It was about 30 mins before we even got our drinks and over an hour later we still had not all been served our main meal. One of my colleagues had to make do with only his starter for dinner. We flagged to the waitresses who "served" us several times that we needed to leave before our show started at 7.30pm but they didn't seem that bothered and continued to take their time bringing our orders – which arrived ad hoc – meaning that some people had finished eating their main whilst others still waited for theirs.
Everyone, bar me, ordered the three course set menu but, due to the time taken, we were unable to wait for dessert.
We wanted to dispute the bill, due to the bad service, but decided as we had literally five minutes before our show started to just pay the bill. When we asked to pay by card we were told that the card machine was not working and told to get cash from a cash machine a 10 min walk away. This we might have been able to do if we didn't have a show to go to. We scrapped what little cash we had, half of the bill, and said we would come back after the show to pay.
When we got outside we decided that we would not pay the remainder due to the fact we had not received all our food – but still been charged for the full set menu.
When we came out of the show the supervisor was waiting for us and demanded that we pay our bill. One of my colleagues explained that we would not and we began to make our way to the train station – as we did this the waitress spat at us, some of this spit landed on me!
Never in my life have I encountered such disgusting behaviour and certainly not in someone who works in the service industry. I made a complaint to the police who have made a record of this and will also be taking further action elsewhere. I would never go again to this restaurant – the food was sub-standard, the service ridiculously slow and the staff member who spat at us is repulsive.
I've visited Andalucia on several occasions, the last for a birthday meal with eight friends. I really like the atmosphere, the food is very good quality and the wines are excellent, all at very competitive prices. I'll definitely go again and highly recommend it.

Adebayor quit in the wake of the terrorist attack on the team bus taking Togo to the African Nations Cup in Angola in January.
The Manchester City striker remains immensely proud of his country, but following the birth of his first child this summer he does not feel the demands placed upon him are worth the end outcome.
As the pivotal figure within the Togo squad, Adebayor has been depicted as a trouble-causer by some.
Yet he remains open to the idea of a comeback, even if it will take some fundamental changes within the football hierarchy for such a prospect to become a reality.
"There are a lot of organisational problems and whenever we have tried to do things in recent times, it has been taken in a negative way," the 26-year-old told Manc, the official Manchester City magazine.
"Because I have tried to explain things about the national team and tried to help my country, I have become the main focus when any problems arise and people point to me as the cause.
"Things have obviously changed in the last year. I have a daughter now and I have to put her first. I am not going to put myself in situations where I am risking my safety, especially after what happened in Angola.
"If the organisation improved and things became much better, I will definitely play for Togo again. Not doing so has been one of the tougher decisions I have had to make in my life.
"I can choose to die for my country but not in a cheap way. That is the way things are at the moment and I am not prepared to accept that."
Togo have begun their quest to qualify for the 2012 African Nations Cup without Adebayor but drew their opening two matches against Chad and Malawi last month.

Evine: Former HSN CEO Takes On The Bigs, Launches Interactive Shopping Platform For Women
For over a decade, if you were to say "home shopping," you were likely referring to the experience of viewing products on your TV set, and ordering over the phone. After launching in the '80s, it wasn't long before television networks like QVC and The Home Shopping Network (HSN) had become synonymous with "home shopping." The Web and eCommerce changed that.

Type-II InAs/GaSb Strained Layer Superlattice (T2SL) is an emerging technology for infrared detection. They are being seen as a threat to 50 years old incumbent technology based on Mercury-Cadmium-Telluride (MCT) system. T2SL have been theoretically predicted to outperform MCTs. This dissertation has been aimed at improving the physical understanding and detector performance of T2SL detectors. This work has been focused on the bandstructure simulation, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth optimization, physical understating, and heterojunction barrier engineering of T2SL, in midwave infrared (MWIR, 3-5m) and longwave infrared (LWIR, 8-12m) regimes. The bandstructure of InAs/GaSb/AlSb superlattices has been simulated in this work using empirical pseudopotential method. The simulation results have been used extensively in the later part of this work for designing heterojunction T2SL photodetectors. The interfaces between the individual layers (InAs and GaSb) in T2SL have been optimized for improving the detector performance. Performance of different interface structures were evaluated using variable temperature photoluminescence response, and with the use of detector performance parameters such as responsivity, detectivity and dark current. It was concluded that supporting "InSb" type bonds at both the interfaces resulted in the best performance. This was achieved by using Sb2 soak time on "InAs on GaSb" interface and growing thin InSb layer on "GaSb on InAs" interface. This also helps in strain balancing the system. This interface scheme has been subsequently used in the high performance LWIR pBiBn devices as well as the HOT MWIR cascade devices, giving lattice matched T2SL in these structures. Physical properties of T2SL system are not very well understood, for example the nature of minibands. Polarization sensitive photocurrent spectroscopy measurements were carried out on MWIR and LWIR T2SL material, and experimental results were correlated with the theoretical simulations to unambiguously establish the ordering of valence minibands in T2SL system. It was found that the ordering of minibands with the increase in energy in the valence band is HH1, LH1, LH2 and HH2. The performance of InAs/GaSb T2SL photodiodes was improved by barrier engineered devices. Device architecture, called pBiBn, was proposed in this work, and was realized for MWIR and LWIR detectors. It uses unipolar electron and hole current blocking layers to reduce the various components of the dark currents. LWIR devices optimized for this device architecture demonstrated the performance close to the state of the art in T2SL technology with the dark current density of 1.42x10-5A/cm2, with cutoff wavelength on 10m at 76K. MWIR pBiBn device also demonstrated high operating temperature (HOT). The capability of multicolor detection using InAs/GaSb/AlSb system was demonstrated in this work by realizing two-color and three color detectors, using three contact architecture, for SWIR/MWIR/LWIR detection. An interband cascade detector based on InAs/GaSb T2SL system was implemented in this work for HOT application. It consisted of absorber, tunneling and transport regions and all the regions were based on InAS/GaSb/AlSb system. The MWIR (c=5m, T=77K) cascade detector demonstrated operation up to 420K, which is the highest reported operating temperature in MWIR regime, while the LWIR (c=9.6m, T=80K) device operated till 200K with an optimal bias range of a few mV. This work has demonstrated the flexibility of InAs/GaSb/AlSb superlattice system by heterojunction device designs and their successful implementation.

HOT ROD vs Car Craft magazine
I've subscribed to Car Craft for a few years now and have recently subscribed to HOT ROD.
at first HOT ROD seemed pretty cool, but then in came the Hondas
boats and whatnot.
I just wonder what you old school rodders think of the new 'out with old in with the new' style of HOT ROD?
or what the young guys think of the traditional style of Car Craft?
I like car-craft they have alot of technical sections and they rip on ricers unlike RiceRod.
I dropped my subscription to Hot Rod this year. No more for me. I still have one with Car Craft. They're doing a pretty good job. I also think Popular Hotrodding is doing a great job these days. They seem to cover all american makes, not just Ford or Chevy. (no offense to the Chevy/Ford crowd.)
I have subscriptions to Hot Rod and Car Craft. I like Car Craft better. Hot Rod seems to always have articles about new cars that people don't wrench on. I mean, how is it a Hot Rod if it hasn't seen a wrench since the assembly line? If I wanted to see articles like that I would get Road and Track or one of the yuppie car mags.
I havent read either of them for years unless I go on a plane flight.Then I buy those and the latest issue of Playboy.I have been reading.....
High Performance Pontiac
Pontiac Enthusiast
GM High-Tech Performance
American Handgunner
Handgunner Tactical
and Score magazine(big bust babes)
Well I subscribe to the first 2 on your list Chief. I also get a rag called Car Kulture DeLuxe... http://www.carkulturedeluxe.com/
and Rolls and Pleats. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/rolls.pleats/magazine.htm
BBB - definately check them out again, they're trying harder.
Not Rod
I get Car Craft for the obvious reasons. The Rod mags are cool for pictures but Car Craft has actual project info. Not Rod has lost my interest all together?? There are tuner mags for the jap crap, those guys from Not Rod didn't have to do that to a good Rod Mag!
Keeping with the changing times my butt! They can buy their own garbage then!!
Rat Rods Rule!
Chuck used to have boxes and boxes and boxes of car magazines. Car Craft, Hot Rod, Muscle Car...and the list goes on. Then there were the boxes and boxes of motorcyle magazines. Still have a few of those too. Then there are the boxes of old Popular Mechanics from the 1940's. My next door neighbor (like a second father to me) gave them to him when they decided to move into a senior's residence. He recently went through them all and has only kept the ones that he deemed worthy (but will NEVER part with the old Popular Mechanics ones, they are worth something!). I have been known on occasion to sneak down to the basement and read them when he's not looking I particularly liked the Car Craft mags...expecially the old car craft point. Anyone remember that? The ahem...unique...way the people featured in the article had of pointing at whatever it was they were discussing, always a source of amusement and I even learned stuff.
My new favorite is Hemmings muscle car magazine. Lots of good info, a lot of nostalgia. Check it out. Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain
Had subscriptions to both Hot Rod & Car Craft....
Just renewed.....
Car Craft.
W.T.F. has happened to Hot Rod?
I'm with TM I like hotrodd for the pics and some of there reviews, but Car Craft has the projects for the every day man, and Car Crafts funny.
car craft nuff said
A buddy of mine had a whole box of old mags. He had the first or second issue of HotRod from way back in 1947? He even had the issue of HotRod where they introduced the SBC. I also learned from his collection that CarCraft used to be called "Honk!". It was like going back in time reading through those old mags. I guess we really shouldn't have been thumbing through them with our bare greasy hands, but we didn't know what he had. The coolest one was where this machinist made a small scale V8 that ran and had to have a three pound flywheel to idle at a reasonable speed, that was in a 1953 issue I believe.
My first ever and current subscriptions are CarCraft and Super Chevy. For the whole year that I've been subscribed so far, it's been pretty good reading when I get the chance. No complaints from me.....
I'm even more cynical than the rest. Only subscription I maintain is Rod & Custom, just because I always have since 1960. Over the years I have had one year subs to Hot Rod, Car Craft, etc., but never maintained them because there was lo little useful info in them. Hot Rod Mechanix was worth it but it only lasted a couple years. I look at all the mags at the news stand and maybe buy one Hot Rod or CC per year if it has a worthwhile article. You will find that they simply rerun the same set of core articles on about a 10 year cycle over, and over, and over. To that they add boiler-plate 'how to' articles that are poorly disguised advertisements for after market stuff that give precious little info except for purchasing instructions. I have such a huge collection of old mags (in boxes set side by side they stretch about 25'. Includes woodcarving, Willys club, wood working, and model making mags too) that I can reproduce just about any article I see nowadays. There is that occasional gem about a Willys, or a junk yard part adaptation that I haven't seen before and makes purchase worthwhile.

Architectural Photography
Photographing homes and buildings takes a special craft, but it's something that can be easily acquired. Here are a few simple ways you can make your architectural photos stand out from the crowd!
1.) The structure should tell a story without any artificial lighting, etc. Try to photograph it just the way it is. If the house is a little on the dark side, don't use too much light to show how bright it is. Similarly, if it's too bright, don't shut out the windows and portray something it's not.
2.) Wait for the right time of day. Avoid rainy or cloudy days when there isn't enough natural light to boost your picture. Sun rays coming from the windows and doors are something you cannot do without in inclement weather. Much of the home's character is lost without the sun.
3.) Shoot, shoot and shoot some more! Don't worry about the number of pictures you take. Try to play around with different exposures, shutter speeds and angles. The more you shoot, the more chances you'll have for better quality photos.
4.) Use 12-24mm ultra wide angle lenses for maximum effect. Using wide apertures and long shutter speeds will provide warmth and give your shots some character. Add a touch of flash (1/64th) to combat color shift and to add highlights to the scene. Try to keep your ISO at 400 or 640, because anything faster will be too grainy and anything slower will shift the colors a little too much.
5.) Stand back. Hold the camera to your eye and back up until you have the widest shot you can get. You can then set up your tripod and compose your shot.
6.) Always shoot below eye-level to give the building an imposing persona and an overwhelming presence.
7.) Always keep your sensor clean!
8.) When you do your light measurements, metering the dark part of the scene and exposing it will overexpose the remainder of the scene, but not underexpose it.
9.) Be passionate. Only then will you gain enough experience to define your style of architectural photography.
10.) With RAW images, you can nicely pull back detail from an overexposed image within a stop or two, but in an underexposed image, you cannot increase the exposure without introducing noise. It's better to overexpose with digital than underexpose.
11.) Lastly, while some photographers advocate the expensive Expo Disc for maintaining white balance, there's a cheaper alternative: a white coffee filter. It does the same thing, but it doesn't cost nearly as much. Just place it over the lens and take your pictures. Your camera needs to be set on manual and you can then adjust your white balance settings. Have fun and good luck!

It will come as a shock to exactly no one that this column is old to enough to remember when Michael Jackson first released thrilling and vital music.
It was 1979. In this column's small corner of the world, at that time, before it had grown to column length and height and was merely a mini-paragraph, things were grim. At the top of the pop charts were the Boomtown Rats. wailing about not liking Mondays. This was dandy because the Rats were Irish and all, but the times were bleak.
Margaret Thatcher had been elected in Britain. Murders and bombings came weekly in Northern Ireland. Pope John Paul II came to Ireland and priests who would later be named and castigated for their many sins helped him sell conservative Catholicism to the locals. This little band called U2 was making their first recording, having won some studio time in a talent contest. The result was the strange, aptly disturbing song Out of Control.
Into this cornucopia of truculence came Michael Jackson's Off the Wall. The exuberance of it, the ecstatic assertion of joyous rhythm. It was astonishingly skilled and euphoric.
Fast-forward some years and this column, all grown up, is dwelling on an E! special called The 25 Creepiest Couples of All Time. This list included Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen, Liza Minnelli and David Gest, and Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Soon, Jackson's image was draped in the macabre and the grotesque. There was Jackson's unnerving, unhealthy and deeply creepy obsession with children. The lawsuits, trials and lurid exposés.
By the time of his death, Jackson was a ghoulish figure, diminished in every way by fame and success. The music, especially the early music, receded ever farther into some distant, perplexing past.
This is all by way of introducing tonight's Glee (Fox, Global, 8 p.m.) which is simply called Michael.
The gist, in the Glee context, is that the McKinley glee-club singers plan to perform Michael Jackson songs for their set at Regionals. This info is accidentally revealed to their rivals, the Warblers, who plan on appropriating the Jackson songs. Also, Kurt and Rachel receive news from admissions at the Performing Arts Academy in New York. But that's not what matters.
About 10 Jackson songs are performed, many of them done in unique arrangements. The episode is, as so often with Glee, baffling and at times brilliant. For brilliance, watch the arrangement and execution of Jackson's Smooth Criminal, here performed only with cellos, and it is breathtaking.
The use of Jackson's songs, in the Glee style of exultation and wide-eyed wonder at the power of music, is discombobulating. (And it's not a philosophical question about telling the dancer from the dance.) Some viewers will want to strenuously deny the music any of its vigour and appeal. It's okay to do that, to be unwilling to release the music from the macabre and disturbing ambience of Jackson's life, attitudes and actions.
Some people can fetishize the grotesque all they want, but Jackson was still a ghoulish figure, profoundly off-putting in his proclivity for intense associations with children.
Others will see this Glee as some kind of eighties pop-fest, a dose of kitsch, all surface and silly copying of the Jackson originals. There will be online discussion of which Jackson covers and interpretations worked and which didn't. Obsessives will delight in it.
The truth, if a truth exists at all about pop music, is buried somewhere in the conundrum that is this Glee celebration of Jackson. This column found it interesting that memories of other times were evoked. Interesting but not necessarily comforting, like this episode of Glee.
This Hour Has 22 Minutes (CBC, 8:30 p.m.) pokes fun at the NDP leadership thing. This is good. Though not much gallivanting for the 22 Minutes crew as the Dippers had their recent "debate" down the road from the 22 Minutes base in Halifax. It's not a leadership race really, because, you know, nobody seems to be doing anything much. Also, Mark Critch plays chef Gordon Ramsay, who sets out to fix RIM's problems. Which is cute. And on Rick Mercer Report (CBC, 8 p.m.), Mercer has larks with Canada's Olympic Trampoline Team. Also by the way, the show's ratings are steadily just over one million viewers, not "just hitting" one million as I wrote yesterday.

The Bairro Alto district (literally the Upper City) is, like the Alfama, an historic enclave dating from 1513, which is reached in a novel way via the Santa Justa Elevator (a structure reminiscent of the Eiffel tower in Paris) from the lower city. The colourful district resounds to the calls of vendors and fishmongers, and the windows and balconies are festooned with laundry and bird cages.
At night the area comes alive with some of the finest fado cafes in the city, along streets lit by Victorian lanterns. Fado is the famous brand of music and dance brought to Portugal by African slaves in the 19th century, characterised by songs of sadness and despair, and there is no better place in Portugal to experience this musical genre than in the Bairro Alto of Lisbon.

There's some good news for San Antonio Spurs 2012 NBA draftee guard Marcus Denmon and his road to recovery from foot surgery. As you may recall, Denmon broke his right foot in the opening game for┬ĀFrench team Chalon-Elan. He underwent surgery to repair his broken right foot where a metal rod was placed in his foot to strengthen it and to avoid further injury. According to French site Le Journal, Denmon's rehab is going great and the boot to protect his repaired foot is off and could be back on the practice court for Chalon in the near future. "He's happy as a kid," laughs (Chalon coach) Gregor Beugnot who is hopeful that the American will be able to resume group training January 7 with the rest of the team.┬Ā Morover, according Le Journal, Denmon could be back on the court in two weeks once the Spurs' medical staff approves. "This is part of his treatment protocol" said Beugnot. Project Spurs reported the Spurs were keeping a watchful eye on Denmon's growth and Chalon coach Beugnot spoke highly of his development. Also according to the report, Denmon was in San Antonio late last month for some medical testing before traveling back to France. Denmon also posted a photo via Twitter celebrating he now can put two shoes on rather than having the protective boot. It feels good to have on two shoes again!! instagr.am/p/TdYK15Hk9N/ ŌĆö Marcus Denmon (@MizzouMonster12) December 20, 2012

CLEARWATER — St. Petersburg Catholic didn't stand much of a chance Friday night, said everyone.
Clearwater Central Catholic, their former arch and now just friendly rivals, were too big, too strong and much too deep for the Barons.
CCC had 11 players on offense, and get this — 11 players on defense who weren't the same guys that played offense.
And that defense? Oh, just one of the best in all of Tampa Bay.
But a not-so-funny thing happened on the way to a Marauder rout, not funny at all to CCC coach John Davis — the Barons kept fighting, and the Marauders were only interested enough to do just enough to win a 35-14 decision that may have left the losing team happier than the one that won.
"Moral victory? I dunno, maybe, I guess," said SPC coach Steve Dudley, who continues to nudge his team back to respectability against great odds. "I was very pleased with the way we played in the second half. That is a state-caliber team, and our guys know we can play even better."
SPC wide receiver Markqus Ruppell knows. He tried to convince the Marauders of that after the game. "We can beat you," he said, a few times, smiling and doing his best to convince them. The Marauders tried to ignore him.
CCC was fortunate Friday the Barons were a team of only 24 rostered players, two of them kickers and a few others called up just to fill seats on the bus. Otherwise, taking its foot off the gas like it did and cruising to victory would not have gone so smoothly.
"We're a little bit immature," said Davis, who shared his displeasure with the team afterward. "What did they do? They got ahead and started to relax a little. You do that in football and you're going to get beat. … We can't do that."
Unless your opponent is a team that can barely scrimmage itself in practice.
It was 28-14 for most of the second half, and the Barons had five chances to get within a touchdown, thanks to CCC mistakes, penalties and fumbles.
In the fourth quarter, the Barons were stopped on fourth down, fumbled and threw an interception, all in CCC territory.
"We just didn't have the oomph there at the end," said running back Tony Jones.
Fortes In Unitate is says on the back of their uniforms. Strong in Unity.
"We've got nine or 10 guys that are as good as anybody in the county," Dudley said. "But our depth. … We had about 19 guys tonight, and when you're playing with that many most of them are going to be going both ways."
The Barons were unspectacular, but played a better game than anyone expected, especially after falling behind 21-0.
"They probably outplayed us tonight," said Davis.
At their best, the Marauders are a far better team, make no mistake. And it's fair to assume they may have played down to the competition, knowing the Barons couldn't possibly muster the energy to come back from such a big deficit. Last week's win over Trinity Catholic showed how good the Marauders can be when threatened.
But it's a bad habit.
Davis reminded us this is still a young team. The offensive line is mostly new, and the coach joked they might have set a record for holding penalties.
He told the defense that was the worst game it has played in two years. And the offense continues to slog along, looking like a team that, well, alternates quarterbacks and can't find a rhythm as a result.
Those aren't excuses, though.
They are concerns. And everyone seems to have them, as well as one pressing question that was asked once again after a Marauder performance.
Is this a great team, or just a good one?
"Trust me," Davis said, "the coaches are asking those questions, too."

"Contrary to common belief, planning is complicated and is not run by complete idiots, so you'll just have to trust that the decisions were made on good information that's not made available to you."
I installed a new fuel pump and filter today and can hear the pump running. The old fuel pump did not make any sound at all. When I first tried to start the truck it fired for a brief moment, but now it will not. Should I go ahead and replace the fuel pump relay or what should I check next?

It's probable that the injector pintles are stuck shut.Had lots of missfire and no start concerns with the earlier setups due to this.But before replacing them check to see if you have injector pulse.
I removed the injectors (spider), labeled each one with location and had them cleaned. The labels are gone. Can you tell me where each injector goes when I reinstall them?
The injector body(housing) is numbered..Russ
The poppets will want to go where they always do. You will have a hard time hooking them up wrong, as they have taken a set at the angles needed. Clean the housing and you will also see the cylinder numbers cast in. Be carefull with the spring release elvers on the poppet ends, they break easily! There are a number of places that will rebuild the CSFI unit, or you may want to look at doing the MPFI conversion. It is a bit spendy, but eliminates a lot of hassles. I recall that when I was considering it I did find an MPFI kit for under $400... Be very carefull when you hook everything back up. It isn't hard to mess up the gasket on the CSFI unit. I would suggest you go to your local GM dealer and pick up the gasket kit, if I recall it was about $30, and included the intake gasket, TB Gasket, CSFI gasket, and new O-rings for the Fuel lines. I don't know that a lot of people would agree with this particular step, but on a 99, I founf that using a chunk of rubber hose and my compressor, I did blow an obstruction out of the number four injector that was causing a rich condition. While everything is out, you may also want to go ahead and change the pressure regulator.
My '97 Intrigue ran out of gas and I had to "prime" the fuel injectors. If you are getting fuel flow through the fuel line, that could be the problem. If the fuel is getting to the injectors, they may need to be primed. A dealer may be able to help you with how to do it.

"Sometimes you gotta say, 'What the *********'. "What the ********* gives you freedom, freedom creates opportunity, ... opportunity - makes your future." - 'Risky Business' 1983
With the help and expert advise from you guys, I reinstalled the injectors and the truck started better than my '06 Crew Cab. My buddy that cleaned the injectors said they were completely clogged from sitting. I would like to take this time to say "thank's" to all. I have two more trucks just like this one that I purchased that will probably have the same issues. So be prepared for more questions.
Make sure that you run a bit of motor oil ofer the o-ring on the CSFI unit. This will help it to not slide off and get torn. Did it. Sucks. Glad to hear you just had a glazing/contamination issue! It's not that hard to get it all apart, but that first time is a real hassle. Good luck on the other two!
The term "glazing/contamination" sounded better than clogged. It sounds more professional. I know that one of the trucks has the same symptoms. I just started a new thread with the other truck. "How to replace an ignition switch?". Thank's for you input.
When you get the ignition switch done, let us know what symptoms show up when you try to start it. As you already know, it isn't hard to get in and clean the injectors/poppets and the housing. I do still suggest changing the regulators while you have everything apart. They can cause some very subtle little problems as they age. Let us know if you experience any hot start or rich conditions with this truck also. Should run great for a long time now.
You guy's did such a good job with the first truck, I will give you a shot at this one. (1996 GMC 1500 4.3l V6) This truck has been sitting as long as the first one. I put gas and new battery in it. The fuel pump runs and there is 60psi at the check point. The pressure drops to about 30psi within 10 minutes or so. It fires when you try to start.
I don't know the 4.3L V6 at all, but based on similiar fuel injection systems for the time (MPFI, CSFI, CPI), that sounds like a leak to me. Either bad regulator, bad connection, or injector stuck open. Fuel pressure should not drop that much that fast. I am thinking that you may really want to pick up the Haynes and Chilton manuals for these trucks. May save you a few headaches!

Is This A Good Beam To Hang my Bag On?
I'm hanging my 100lb heavybag and figured this would be a good beam to hang it on. I'm a little worried though, I just don't want to cause any damage to my house (it's brand new). The beam is in my garage (obviously) right below my office. Thanks.
Well, it looks like you already have it there anyway so go ahead and work the bag and see if the garage falls down.
Please post a picture if it does.
What is above the garage? Another floor? An attic? From your picture, that beam looks too small to be any sort of structural support given the length it spans. It's also oriented in the wrong direction. Did it flex or sag any when you installed the bag?
As your office is immediately above the place where the bag is hanging, get a 200 lb. friend to jump up and down on the office floor. If the floor doesn't collapse, you're good!

TWELVE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT VIVID (ACCORDING TO SUPERCOMPRESSOR): Supercompressor.com says, "When it comes to porn, Vivid Entertainment knows what they're doing and have been doing it well since 1984. The porn production giants have had a long, fascinating history that has withstood the test of time and fast-changing technology. Chances are, if you've watched any piece of pornography in your life (and you have, you liar) it's been produced by Vivid." The site said it was "curious why this legendary company has lasted for thirty years" and it found 12 reasons, beginning with the fact that it was founded by Steven Hirsch when he was "barely out of his teens." To see all twelve reasons visit www.supercopressor.com
CAPTAIN AMERICA XXX: AN AXEL BRAUN PARODY DEBUTS ONLINE - Captain America XXX: An Axel Braun Parody made its online debut this week and will be in stores nationwide on April 15. Braun and Vivid have brought plenty of joy to adult entertainment fans with their best-selling superhero parodies; now they've tackled the quintessential American hero: Captain America! Axel wrote the original screenplay for Captain America XXX, in which Cap fights for the Cosmic Cube against Baron Zemo, Sin, Crossbones and Batroc, with the help of Sharon Carter, Diamondback, Falcon and Quicksilver. The result is an epic sexy spoof that once again has better costumes, more geek cred, and definitely bigger boobs than the original. Says Axel: "It's almost too much awesome in one movie. Call me nostalgic, but I like to see my superheroes in their classic costumes, especially if they've never been portrayed in a live-action movie…and in my adult spoof I was able to really go all out, so I'm one happy fanboy!" Aaron Wilcoxxx plays Captain America, Phoenix Marie reprises her Avengers XXX role as Sharon Carter, Claire Robbins is Sin, Kleio Valentien is Diamondback, Jessica Ryan is Hellcat, Britney Amber is a hot USO Girl, Ryan Driller is Baron Zemo, Tyler Knight is Falcon, Bill Bailey is Quicksilver, Derrick Pierce is Crossbones, and Giovanni Francesco, who previously played Batman in Braun's highly successful The Dark Knight XXX, steals every scene he's in as the mustached French villain Batroc.
The Captain America XXX launch was covered widely. Among the many sites writing about the debut were TimesSquareGossip.com, MajorSpoilers, Love, Blood & Rhetoric, ComicsforSinners.com, and BoobieBlog.

This movie is not sponsored, endorsed by, or affiliated with "Marvel Characters, Inc., Marvel Studios, Marvel Worldwide, Inc. or any other entity owning the rights to the characters parodied therein or the work being parodied.
AUSTIN POWERS XXX FEATURED IN AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE – The Australian edition of People magazine included Austin Powers XXX: A Porn Parody in a recent photo section it called "our no-holes-barred round-up of adult entertainment." The magazine noted that the movie was a Vivid Entertainment release, reported on the cast and noted that it is "Out Now!"
MEDIA INTERESTI IN KRIS JENNER SEX TAPE CONTINUES – Media interest in the RadarOnline story about a possible sex tape starring Kim Kardashian's mom Kris Jenner continues, with mentions of Vivid. The Daily Mail had a major story on the rumored tape under the headline: " Porn mogul Steve Hirsch vows to buy alleged Kris Jenner sex tape if it is offered to him and return it to her." The story by reporter Collette Fahy noted,"A mystery man, known only as 'Troy', reportedly wants to sell it to Vivid Entertainment, the same company who distributed X-rated footage of her daughter Kim Kardashian, but Steve Hirsch of Vivid says he will return it to Jenner if it is offered to him for sale. The adult entertainment kingpin told 'As of today, I have not been approached by anyone with any tape. If it exists, and I don't think it does, bring it to me. I'll buy it and hand it right back to Kris.'" Similar coverage could be found on Los Angeles-based Allvoices.com, LatinPost.com and Wetpaint.com, which reported: "If the notorious Kris Jenner sex tape does indeed exist, it's got at least one company interested. Steve Hirsch of Vivid Entertainment, described by RadarOnline.com as 'the king of adult films' (sorry Ron Jeremy), says he'll totally buy an XXX film starring Kris. But only, he adds, to hand it right back to the 58-year-old momager. That's quite the gentlemanly gesture seeing as the latest rumor has the tape going for a cool $1 million."

The education of a geography major at Mānoa has two goals. First, the student is prepared to accept the role of a world citizen. This person should be knowledgeable about the interaction of environmental and cultural processes and be prepared to be involved in geographic issues in local and broader settings. Second, we want all majors to be prepared to assume professional employment in an area that relates to their interests and education.
Geography provides a broad perspective on human and physical phenomena that define and transform the surface of the Earth. It explores the complexity of and interrelationships among the cultures, economics, histories, ecologies, and physical state that characterize particular places and how such relationships vary across space. Three themes, (1) the operation on interlocking systems of the natural environment; (2) the relationship between environment and society; (3) the nature of place and space and the relationships and processes defining and changing them; brings a focus upon the myriad political and environmental challenges in the contemporary world.
These challenges include global environmental change, its causes, and its implications for the human experience; resource management and regional development in the Third World; regional conflict fed by ethnic, religious, economic, and territorial differences; the making of resource and locational decisions; the collection, processing, display and communication, and management of spatial information. The department is uniquely placed to examine these issues in the Asia-Pacific region. Hawai`i's historical, socio-cultural, economic, and environment context provides a fascinating setting for learning and research and can serve as a springboard into the wider region.
The major is comprised of a minimum of 37 credit hours of geography courses. In actual practice most students take more than the minimum credit hours to pursue their own special interests. All students will take coursework that will lead to a general knowledge of the environmental processes that affect the sea, land, atmosphere and water that surround us all and that conditions the quality of our everyday lives and affects our behavior. We expect all students to also have an understanding of world cultural processes that are a part of our personal and national identity. We want students to understand the interaction of population characteristics, economic development, political and social movements. All conditions that add color and personal meaning to our personal and collective lives.
In addition to the core general background, we want students to be able to analyze data available from field work and a variety of other sources. Knowledge and understanding of geographic processes are based both on observation and data assembled by others. We expect the geography major to develop skill in geographic seeing. In addition we expect majors to know where to locate maps, photographs and imagery of geographic processes and have skill in interpreting and analyzing these data. Students need to know more than just analyzing data, they need to be able to summarize the results of their analysis and communicate their conclusions to their peers verbally and in illustrated written forms. Statistical analysis is an important part of the interpretation of data that everyone is showered with daily. Having the ability to absorb, discard and understand statistical information and add it to what we see directly and interpret from graphic sources is a core part of a geographic education.
By completion of the major, we want the student to be able to critically formulate geographic problems and conduct research relating to them. A part of this research is a polished skill in presenting their results and conclusions to their peers and the general community. The student needs to demonstrate an ability to articulate the tenets of geography and how they contribute to the general role of an educated citizen.
We want all majors to gain experience in the geographic methodologies that are practiced by the faculty at Mānoa. All majors are expected to take one upper division course in each of the areas of physical, human and regional geography and one course in geographic technology. The purpose of exposing the student to a wide range of methods is to both show each major that there are alternate approaches to geographic knowledge and give the student a range of experience that might make the choice of the area of concentration better fit individual interests. In addition to these four breadth electives, we ask all majors to select one (or more) of the Mānoa geography specialties to concentrate on with three additional upper division courses. This extra coursework and experience will hopefully add to the student's preparation for achieving their professional goals and provide a good grounding for possible graduate studies. In practice, very few of our majors graduate with the minimum of coursework. Students often complete more than one concentration and supplement their required work with special research projects, interns and other type of field investigations.
Important Information regarding new Geography requirements begining Fall 2010.

Mazda has given SEMA goers something to get excited about with a pair of MX-5 Miata concepts. The MX-5 Miata Spyder Concept has done away with the standard car's folding soft top or retractable hard top mechanism in favor of a lightweight grenadine-red canvas covering à la Porsche's Boxster Spyder. The look lends the already lithe roadster an even more svelte appearance, and the Spyder's 17-inch Advan alloys and Mazdaspeed coilovers ensure that the driver should have plenty of fun when the road turns twisty. Mazda has also rolled in quite a few excellent details, including etched brushed stainless Spyder badging on the front fenders and a clean MX-5 Spyder logo on the passenger-side dash.
While the 2.0-liter MZR four-cylinder underhood looks familiar, Mazda says the MX-5 Spyder runs on isobutanol, the same biofuel that powers in Mazda's/Dyson Racing ALMS car. To further the company's "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom" effort, the Spyder also has a lightweight lithium ion battery, among other changes.
Does the Spyder have a chance at production? Well, probably not the isobutanol powertrain, but a lighter model with a similar top configuration might have a shot. As Mazda's design director, Derek Jenkins, notes "...because the stock models are extraordinarily versatile, who's to say some elements of these SEMA concepts can't be ready for public consumption?" Sign us up.
The MX-5 Super 20 – which debuted last year – brings more of a motorsports flavor to the convertible. A fixed hardtop has replaced the standard folding mechanism and the interior has been stripped bare in favor of a full roll cage. Additional power comes courtesy of a DPTUNE ECU reflash, a 304-stainless steel header and exhaust. Racing Beat hollow front and rear sway bars, Mazdaspeed coilovers and a Mazdaspeed shock tower brace help lend sharper handling, too.
Low-Emissions, Lightweight MX-5 Spyder and MAZDASPEED-Infused Turbo2 Headline Mazda's Lineup at Annual Automotive Aftermarket Trade Show -
LAS VEGAS (November 1, 2011) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) is known for its Zoom-Zoom dynamism, which is evident in the brand's lineup of distinct design and divine drivability, and brings to this year's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show a fleet of vehicles highlighting Mazda's motorsports heritage, efficiency aspirations and daily-driver potential.
"There is no limit to one's imagination and when applying that to the already dynamic design and punchy performance of Mazda vehicles, the end result is nothing short of a well-crafted vision," said Derek Jenkins, director, MNAO Design. "And because the stock models are extraordinarily versatile, who's to say some elements of these SEMA concepts can't be ready for public consumption?"
MX-5 Spyder Beloved worldwide as the best-selling two-seat roadster in the world, with a secure spot in Guinness World Records to boot, the MX-5 Miata is the vehicle motorsports enthusiasts love to drive on the weekday streets of suburbia and the weekend roads of race tracks nationwide. Well-known is the MX-5's single-hand-operation soft-top and segment-best 12-second Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) that the MX-5 Spyder is a re-imagination of the roadster and features a sweeping, single-panel grenadine-red soft-top made by Haartz Corporation. Its design, a collaborative effort between MNAO Design and Magna Car Top Systems, offers an even lower slung stance of the MX-5 without sacrificing headroom. Fitted onto the roadster's already sleek and sexy "look at me" body style, the MX-5 Spyder has been painted Stratosphere White and features a Yokohama rubber-and-rims set of AO48 225/45R17 performance tires matched with 17-inch, 10-spoke ADVAN RS wheels in Gun Metal Metallic. But as the adage goes, there is more than meets the eye.
Under the hood is where the vehicle's exterior treat matches wits with an interior trick. Powered by Mazda's ever-dependable MZR 2.0-liter engine, the MX-5 Spyder is fueled by BP's isobutanol. The significance? The biofuel supports Mazda's mantra of "Sustainable Zoom-Zoom," which means crafting exciting, fun-to-drive vehicles that create minimal environmental impact. A testament to this philosophy is the Mazda/Dyson Racing entry in the American Le Mans Series.
The #16 LMP1Lola vehicle features a turbocharged MZR-R 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, runs on isobutanol and beat competing larger-block V-12s to win the manufacturer, team and drivers championships for the 2011 racing season. Mazda also was given the Michelin® Green X® Challenge at the Baltimore Grand Prix, a distinction awarded to category cars that prove to be the "cleanest, fastest, most efficient" in the race.
Although similar to how ethanol is produced from agricultural feedstock, isobutanol does not compromise vehicle performance for the sake of fuel economy and can be added to the current fuel distribution infrastructure without requiring modifications in blending facilities, storage tanks and retail station pumps. Isobutanol's compatibility with existing technology and infrastructures is a significant step toward meeting the demand in renewable fuels for transportation.
Another fuel-saving, engine-efficient feature of the MX-5 Spyder is a lightweight lithium-ion racing battery made by Braille Battery. The lead-free advanced battery system is RoHS compliant and constructed of non-hazardous materials, has a high charge retention and offers a longer life cycle than comparable standard batteries. A Racing Beat header, intake and exhaust muffler as well as a MAZDASPEED coil over kit and Brembo brakes complete the vehicle's mechanics.
The cabin area is accentuated by tanned Saddle black-leather seats with Aqua leather accents and Coal Ash suede inserts. Subtle Spider Silk Gray Metallic-colored trim pieces on the doors and dash panels tastefully adorn the mostly black interior, which is finished off with customized floor mats by Star West. A MAZDASPEED short-throw shifter adds a tasty reminder to the MX-5's motorsports pedigree.
Turbo2 When introduced to the North American market in 2010, the Mazda2 was referred to as Zoom-Zoom Concentrated. The Turbo2 can almost be defined as Zoom-Zoom Concentrated, Extra Strength. Outfitted with a MAZDASPEED3 MZR 2.3-liter Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbo engine, the Turbo2 is as potent as it is practical. Start the engine and the subcompact cat doesn't purr – it growls. Its sinister snarl pulsates through the cockpit and injects itself into your rev-happy feet. A five-passenger subcompact with flexible storage and seating capacity, the Turbo2 leaves a small footprint but lives big.
Always known as the spunky little sport of the Mazda lineup, the Turbo2 adds to the Mazda2's toss-me-around-and-you'll-still-be-grinning attitude with an HR coil over suspension kit, Corksport sway bars and customized Brembo front brakes with 13-inch ventilated and slotted rotors. The rear brakes remain Mazda stock parts. Yokohama ADVAN Neova 215/40R17 performance tires are mounted onto shiny black 17-inch OZ Racing wheels.
The vibrant Sonic White tri-coat exterior features Brilliant Black on the lower panels, wheel arches, side skirts and lower front fascia. Unique bright green and neon yellow graphics and trim pieces further highlight the Turbo2's compact and svelte physique. The exterior's sunshine happy theme follows through into an interior commanded by Katzin black leather seats featuring Baracuda Yellow perforated leather inserts and Sunrise Yellow seat piping.
Customized floor mats are by Star West and the dash is outfitted with an AiM Pista MXL digital racing performance and data acquisition display.
MX-5 Super20 Introduced during last year's SEMA Show, the MX-5 Super20 is back and with a new 'do, so to speak. Now blazing in a Hyper Orange Mica exterior treatment, the MX-5 Super20 retains its darker, edgier Mr. Hyde attitude in comparison to its more sociable Dr. Jekyll MX-5 Miata persona.
With its soft-top replaced with a stationary glossy black hardtop, and matching orange stripes, the MX-5 Super20's interior also was modified and fitted with a color-matched roll bar, lending to a Grand Touring-inspired feel and function. The black leather seats feature suede seat inserts and channel stitching, which provide improved grip for drivers. Orange contrast stitching adds the finishing touch to the sporty seat profile.
Additional modifications include a DPTune reflashed ECU, Racing Beat 304-stainless steel header and exhaust, Racing Beat hollow front and rear anti-roll bars, ACT organic street clutch, MAZDASPEED coil overs and a shock tower brace, Power Slot slotted brake rotors, StopTech stainless steel brake lines and street performance brake pads, SpeedSource front brake ducts, black 16-inch Enkei RPF1 twin-spoke racing wheels, Toyo Proxes RA-1 245/45ZR16 high-performance tires and 20mm H&R Track+ bolt-on wheel spacers in the rear with 15mm Sparco wheel spacers in the front.
3dCarbon Mazda2 Sharing only the colorful spirit of green with its Turbo2 SEMA Show sibling, the 3dCarbon Mazda2 has an identity all its own. Its 3dCarbon/Air Design body kit is manufactured in high-pressure polyurethane injection molding and either pre-primer or pre-painted in all-factory colors. The customized body kit includes a front air dam, side skirts, a rear lower diffuser and Mazda2 Touring-spec upper rear spoiler.
The Spirited Green Metallic paint is further styled with a vinyl graphic design courtesy of Sticky Fingers Design. With darkly tinted windows, the small statured vehicle simply pops. 3M Color Stable Metal-Free Window Film is used on the side and rear windows while the front windshield features 3M Crystalline Nanofilm.
An Eibach® Springs Pro-Kit improves handling as well as visual appeal. Eighteen-inch FIVE:AD S6:F Gunmetal wheels wrapped with Yokohama S.drive 215/35R18 tires add the finishing touch.
Mazda5 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (MRLS) Support Vehicle Infamous as a practically perfect people-hauler and un-famous as a race track icon, the Mazda5 MRLS Support Vehicle proves that mini-minivans can go racing, too. Developed by Mazda Design, this particular Mazda5 features lowering springs with height-adjustable perches – ideal for custom tuning to any performance situation. Menacing flat-black-painted 19-inch Mazda RX-8 R3-spec forged aluminum wheels add to the street-turned-track look, complete with MRLS logo orange dots. Custom graphics highlighting the world-famous Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca racing circuit emblazon the Mazda5's landscape as a nod to the orange theme continues – from the MRLS logo on the front doors, icons on the MRLS track map and a striking line along the side skirts – complete the racy package.

Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc., located in Ontario; and in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in Mexico City.

Replacing my furnace... Confused on Diaphragm vs closed...
So I am about to replace my furnace... Everything seems straight forward, i'm just a little confused on one part... I am trying to figure out if my old furnace is a diaphragm type, or Closed circuit type.. I have Hot water baseboard heat, and there is a taco makeup valve on the out line to the house. There is also another 3/4" line coming out of te top of the furnace that goes to a large cylinder mounted above the furnace.. Now I know its an expansion tank, and would assume it has a diaphragm, but it DOES NOT have an air pressure fitting on it... Only a drain petcock.... My new furnace (Weil McClain WTGO Gold) has a tapped hole on the top of it, with a sticker over it that says "Air elimination tapping at this location"... Do I have to buy an air elimination kit? Or is that what my expansion tank is for? Should I buy a new Diaphragm tank similar to what i see in most houses these days? Here is a picture of my current furnace... http://nperkins.riotdesigns.com/house/img024.jpg http://nperkins.riotdesigns.com/house/img025.jpg TIA
yes replace the tank with modern diaphram tank
What is the current setup that I have? I had a friend who does alot of home improvement come over, and stare at it like a monkey doing a math problem...
Tell the monkey it is an open (non diaphram) expansion tank. Get the bladder/diaphram tank and it works much better/never leaks or gets waterlogged. Very good choice of new boiler. Get a proper combustion analysis/setup done on it so its works at its max efficiency.
How much should that cost? The house is 850sq ft, possibly upgrading to about 1300sq ft in the future... a 2 gallon should be plenty, right?
Not sure. I would have to ask one of my plumbers. Maybe one of our other guys knows or post on the plumbing chatroom at top of page.
You will probably need a #30 extrol tank and yes you will need an automatic air elimination set up on top of the boiler.
You may want to consider a secondary aquastat and a low water cut out also
Since when is a a boiler a furnace? Like calling a water heater a HOT water heater.
My call center calls everything a furnace and has no idea where Canada is.
i don't do hydronic so i used to have to qualify if it was a boiler or forced air.
Some people ain't got a clue.
So I'm going to pickup an Extrol #30 tank, then do i need an air purger? Or since i'm putting in an air elimination kit on the furnace itself do I even need it? Or do i even need the air elimination kit since the air purger would be higher than the elimination kit? And this should work for the air elimination kit, right? http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Prod/W.../22800/Cat/224

Sunday, Sept. 15 | 1 p.m. ET Cincinnati, Ohio | Gettler StadiumLive Stats | Live Video
Schedule | Roster | Statistics @UCWomensSoccer | Facebook Game Notes
Schedule | Roster | Statistics @KentStSoccer | Facebook Game Notes
FIVE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW 1. Cincinnati heads to face crosstown rival Xavier on Friday. The Musketeers are 3-0-1 on the year with their most notable win being Purdue. XU is led offensively by senior Ashton Green, who has two game-winning goals, and freshman Tori Doss, who leads the team with eight points (3g-2a). Junior Katie Markesberg, who has a pair of shutouts on the year, will likely be in net. The Bearcats hold a 24-5-0 all-time record versus Xavier, including wins in the last five matches. The last time the two met was in 2011 at Gettler Stadium with UC winning 1-0. 2. The Bearcats play host to Kent State on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Flashes are 4-2-0 this season with their most notable win being College of the Charleston. One of KSU's losses came at the hand of Marshall (3-0), a team UC defeated 2-1 in an exhibition prior to the 2013 season. Senior Jessacca Gironda serves as the most potent offensive player with having a team-high two goals and leading the team in shots (20). Sophomore Stephanie Senn is the Golden Flashes' No. 1 goalkeeper. Senn has a 1.05 goals against average and a .806 save percentage on the year. UC and KSU have never played an official game against one another, but they did square off in a friendly before the 2012 season. The exhibition ended in a 1-1 draw after Gironda netted a goal with 10 seconds remaining in the match. 3. Cincinnati has been a solid first half team as there has been only one game where the Bearcats haven't had a lead or been tied entering half time, which was at Miami (Fla.) when they were down 1-0. The total goal count favors UC, 3-2, with UMass Lowell joining the Hurricanes as the only teams to score in the first half. The remained of Cincinnati's goals allowed (13) have come in the second half with the majority (7) happening between the 53rd and 69th minute. The Bearcats have also allowed four goals in the final 10 minutes of play. 4. UC has one of the youngest starting 11 in the country as they start at least eight underclassmen each game. Depending on the goalkeeper situation, there could be as many as nine underclassmen if redshirt freshman Natalie Smith is given the nod in net. Four players (Kelly Latimer, Madison Melnick, Kayla Utley and Bailey Wilson) have logged 300 or more minutes thus far with three of them being freshmen (Melnick, Utley, Wilson).
5. Cincinnati's head coach, Neil Stafford, is in his first year at the helm. Stafford, who is the fifth head coach in program history, comes to UC after serving as the head coach at Central Michigan, where he was at the helm for two seasons and posted a record of 30-10-4. Last season, the Chippewas earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, which was the first ever for the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Stafford also coached eight years at Assumption College where he became the school's all-time winningest coach with a record of 72-61-15.

I took my 45 to the range yesterday and ran 140 rounds through it.
50 were a mixed lot of 230 ball from Remingotn, Winchester, and Federal that I purchased from an acquaintance that used to shoot a full auto Thompson, so he has a lot of mixed up, but new, 230 ball around in bulk ammo cans.
50 were Federal American Eagle 230 ball.
40 were Federal 230 Hydra Shock.
I fired the mixed up stuff first, all 50 rounds as quickly as I could reload with my maglula. No problems of any kind, and no discernible difference in accuracy in them.
Next were the Amercian Eagle 230 ball. In the last 10 rounds I had a FTF. Actually the slide just barely stayed out of battery. I light tap on the end of it sent it home and it continued for the next 4 odd rounds.
I then went for my 230 Hydra Shock. Had 2 similar failures to go into battery, but rectified with a slight tap on the end of the slide.
These are the first failures I've had with my FNP-45. I'm now left a bit less than confident with it. It has been my night stand pistol since after the first hundred or so rounds and always worked, no matter what I fed it.
I've seen a fair number of posts here and at arfcom by folks with FTFs coming later in the life of their pistol, or late into a range session.
I take meticulous care of my weapons. They are always cleaned and properly lubricated after each range session.
I like my FNP-45, but if it is going to start being fussy it can't stay in my house.
Any good advice for me on this?
I'll work with the pistol for a reasonable time, but I really need it to be reliable.

Have Medical Questions? Ask a Doctor Online!
Ejaculation or seminal discharge is common in some patients during or soon after a bowel movement. This is usually normal. The pressure from straining during a bowel movement on the prostate gland can cause it to release seminal fluid.
As long as there is no pain or burning on urination or bloody stools, there is nothing concerning. If you have any problems with urination, you should have a digital rectal exam (to check your prostate) and a PSA (prostate blood test).
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Mirror Control backlighting
Hey everyone,
We just purchased a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L Natural green with light/dark frost biege interior and 730N. Picking it up next monday and trading in my much beloved BMW 3 series.
I noticed when doing our final deciding test drive the mirror control button with arrows was not back lighted, the L and R buttons light up when pressed. Is that switch suppose to light up? Also are the backdoor window switches suppose to light as well because they were not on this jeep. The build date was 11/10. Thank you!
Still deciding on chrome fog light bezels, installing tow hooks, and a rubber cargo mat.
Re: Mirror Control backlighting
I don't have one yet but I'm pretty sure the rear window switches should be lit (however, the rear interior door handles/map pockets are not lit like the front doors).
As far as window switches, I'm too sure about that.
Re: Mirror Control backlighting
This is how my driver's door mirror switches light up also. The mirror direction controller stays unlit. The L and R light only when pressed.
The window switches in the back seat are illuminated (the switches, not the pockets at the the door handles). Build date Nov. 19.

I've become a fan of the Shed of the Week posts on Pistonheads. A shed is, apparently, a used car costing under 1000 british pounds for sale in the Pistonheads classifieds.
So... how about a TCL version using autotrader, craigslist, ebay, etc....? At this moment, 1000 pounds converts to $1614, so we could round up to $2000 if necessary.
Best or most interesting used car for under $2000. Let's see 'em.

Irving explores bisexuality in latest best seller
By Andrea Burzynski
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Author John Irving's latest book, "In One Person," is his most politically charged novel since his 1980s best sellers, "The Cider House Rules" and "A Prayer for Owen Meany."
Irving's 13th book is about a bisexual boy from rural Vermont named Billy Abbott who has crushes on the wrong people, including his town's transgender librarian. He learns to navigate his relationships in a world that consistently views him as suspect.
After its release last month, "In One Person" quickly became a best seller and earned praise from Vanity Fair and The New Yorker.
Irving, 70, spoke with Reuters about the politics of his latest novel, bisexuality and recurring themes in his work.
Q: LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) issues are a hot political topic right now, but the discourse doesn't touch much on the "B" or "T" as frequently. Why choose to write Billy as bisexual and include several transgendered characters?
A: "For many gay men of my generation, the bisexual man was disbelieved. He was perceived for the most part as a gay guy who lacked the courage to come all the way out of the closet. I think young gay men today are far more accepting or tolerant of the bisexual man than many gay men of my generation were. It was purposeful on my part to make Billy a bisexual so that he would feel the sting of that solitariness and be aware of the distrust of his gay and straight friends alike.
