IT'S ELEMENTAL: Part 2
What fun! Against sense or justification I find myself with time to continue a trawl through some more of the elements. I am intrigued by still how potent a source of lyrical stimulation the periodic table is proving, even as we leave the everyday names behind. Naturally the temptation to use some of the more arcane names of elements for band names, especially if 'heavy metals', is too much to resist, for example the well-known(?) bands Nobium, Cobalt, Xenon, C(a)esium 137 and even Barium, hoping the latter haven't made too much of a meal of it. Sorry to any of them, hoping for a tag to their latest, but I am sticking to the words in songs.
First off is dancemaster David Guetta, who, in 2011, produced this little number, featuring go-to girl in this genre, Sia. I find it fascinating that the video seems to display a girl with supernatural forces running from the Police, not least as the opening bars of the tune seem a lift from Sting's finest? All a bit generic and by numbers for me. Understandably not in the Greatest Hits that crept onto my shelves last year.
Buy Vanadium, but you will need i-tunes
Unbelievable! Vanadium I had never even heard of, yet clearly a part of the essentials for this gloomy and never more industrial gothic sounding outfit, from their 1983 album "Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T.", or Drawing of Patient O.T., which isn't a huge help. The name of the group I knew, but this was my very first earburst of them, reading that their thing is the use of non-musical machinery as part of their instrumentation. Resisting the obvious cynical riposte, I am minded of the more recent Fuck Buttons, who similarly invoke noise as music. Oddly I can see an appeal, but maybe I have had too many MRI scans. Erstwhile member Blixa Bargold, guitar/vocals, later became a member of Nick Cave band The Birthday Party and then a Bad Seed.
Buy Chromium (electric)
Buy Iron
Who could resist and who does not know this song? An astonishing 45 years old, or will be in a month, astonishingly simple and astonishingly effective. I forgive them for the successive waves of noisy tosh produced within their invented genre, if only for the joy of air-guitar aged 13. And all still alive and squabbling. Wonderful.
So, as stated, no room for Nickelback, thank the Lord, or Nickel Creek, mores the pity, here, so it's the marmite man himself, Tom Waits. Fabulous songwriter, of which I have no doubt, it's just his unusual corncrake grate of a voice. Sometimes, just sometimes, it works for me, and, by jingo, this is one of those times, the contrast with the strings imparting a pathos I didn't know he had in him. OK the odd guttural hawk as it continues, making me wince and the front row of any audience duck. Nearly as good as Over the Rainbow.
Confess I only know the W.O.L.D.(ee ee ee) song for this lauded writer, deceased many a long year. Not my proverbial, I fear, being too M.O.R. (ah ah ah). Cheap gag, move on.
I wanted, I really wanted to give this a chance, trying to forget the years of horror when T. Rex were a fixture on UK TV chartshow 'Top of the Pops', my mother unfailingly asking me who he, Bolan, was, with my stock answer being that I didn't know. In case she though it indicative of my taste. Best thing, as ever, is the Taylor/Volman backing vocals, fresh from their stint with the Mothers of Invention, with me never understanding quite why. Shame the Turtles never sang a song about, o, I don't know, Tungsten. (Is tungsten even an element?)
Unfamiliar with these guys, and, at my first wiki I was pleasantly surprised, preparing to give this formulaic pop-punk a second chance, mistaking the noughties Philadephia "punks", the Loved Ones, with the Australian garage band of the same name, 40 years earlier. What is yawn now would be somewhatground-breaking in '65. But it wasn't to be. File under old lace.
Mindful of 3 spiteful comments in a row, I really need one to like, and this, I thought, was definitely the one. The sheer unlikeliness of a song called Molybdenum automatically excused any need to consider its value. But, frustratingly, not on the youtube……. But, they did do one called Nobelium, which is, even if straying from the order I had been seeking. In fact they have more, with songs Iodine, Uranium, two Oxygens, another Titanium, Selenium and Nitrogen, all on a 2000 LP called, with little surprise, elements. Who they? Noxious Emotion is the name. I applaud the idea more than its fruition, but it's OK. Clearly a leader in what amazon call EBM. (No, me neither, so back to wiki….) Whatever. It's OK. Really.
Now I can imagine Leonard Cohen stumbling down a track on some obscure greek island, knees smeared with iodine, having fallen from a scooter after a liason with his latest olive hued muse. Which seems actually to fit the gist of the lyric. Maybe not his pinnacle. Produced, doncha know, by Phil Spector, giving some down time fun imagining the same song sung by the Ronettes. (Works for me!)

It's Elemental: King's Lead Hat
Brian Eno: King's Lead Hat
If you only think of Brian Eno as the guy who does those ambient music pieces, let me introduce you to the rocking "King's Lead Hat." During the mid-1970s, Eno first entered the world of popular music as the synthesizer player for Roxy Music, quit the band, and then released four remarkable solo albums that mixed rock, electronic music, jazz and experimental sounds in a way that was, if not groundbreaking, was pretty damn cool. At the same time, he began to experiment with various techniques that led to the release of his ambient music, and released a series of such albums, including the legendary Music For Airports.
Before and After Science was the last of the rock-oriented albums from this period, released in 1977, and it includes ambient pieces, silly ditties, and a few rockers, none more aggressively so than "King's Lead Hat." Reportedly recorded, but lacking lyrics and a title, before Eno and John Cale saw an up and coming band, Talking Heads, at CBGB in New York, Eno gave the song a title that was an anagram for Talking Heads and wrote a bunch of lyrics around the title which either make no sense or are brilliant. Or both. Many Eno lyrics seem to use words more for their sound than as a vehicle for imparting meaning (like, say, this one), or to create vivid imagery. There may well be some sexual references in the lyrics of "King's Lead Hat." Or not.
What is clear, though, is that the music was way ahead of its time. You can certainly hear some Talking Heads in the jittery, New-Wavy sound, but you can also hear precursors of what the Talking Heads would sound like a few years later, when Eno began to produce them. And you can hear the roots of the synthesizer based pop music, that would become popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starting with Gary Numan and exploding from there.
Not surprisingly, I had never heard Eno on the radio before working at WPRB starting in 1979, and his music was treated there with incredible reverence. We even had a show one evening, named in honor of his earlier, somewhat more experimental album, Another Green World, for music that fit into that genre of experimental, electronic, OK, I'll say it—weird--music. One night, my friend Bill and I took over the show for a "performance" that you can read about in more detail here, along with a bunch more of my college radio reminiscences. Considering Eno's involvement with the Portsmouth Sinfonia, an orchestra that admitted only players who were either non-musicians, or were playing an unfamiliar instrument (Eno played clarinet), I suspect he would have been fine with my "performance."
With the perspective of years, there are times that I think that some of the Eno worship is a bit over the top, but you can't deny that he has produced some of the best and most popular albums ever, has made music that has influenced generations of musicians in numerous genres. And, I still enjoy his music.

At the height of the Belle Epoque, Francois Dubon leads a well-ordered life in the bourgeois quarters of Paris' eighth arrondissement. When not busy with his prosperous legal practice, he enjoys both a contented marriage to his aristocratic wife, Genevieve, and satisfying afternoon encounters with his mistress, Madeleine. He is never late for those five o'clock appointments nor for family dinner at seven--until a mysterious widow comes to his office with an unusual request.
The lady insists that only Dubon can save her innocent friend, an Army captain named Dreyfus who was convicted of spying and exiled to Devil's Island two years earlier. Not wishing to disappoint the alluring widow, the gallant Dubon makes some perfunctory inquiries. But when he discovers the existence of a secret military file withheld from the defense during the trial, he embarks on an obsessive pursuit of justice that upends his complacent life.
Donning a borrowed military uniform, Dubon goes undercover into the murky world of counterespionage, where his erratic hours alarm his forbidding wife and make his mistress increasingly aloof. As the layers of deceit and double crosses mount, Dubon's quixotic quest leads him into the heart of a dark conspiracy--one that endangers his own life and threatens to throw France herself into turmoil.
Based on the infamous Dreyfus Affair and enriched with a generous dose of classic noir, "A Man in Uniform" is a gripping and seductive mystery set against the gilded years of late nineteenth-century Paris.

As you all know I have been keeping busy working on a large foamer spread. I have enough completed to hunt local birds and have been working steadily for a few hunts I have planned east of the mountains and up north on the salt. Here are some update pictures. Most of the decoys need a few finishing touches and many will be having the eyes mounted over the weekend between hunts.
This is just a small smattering of the spread that is either completed or very close to completed. I am working through the fine feathering detail on 3 dozen puddler hens and hope to have that and the head ticking done by the end of next week. Then it is on to casting scoters, and finishing up the painting on the Harlequin hens, Redhead hens, and Old Squaw hens which are all base painted right now. Fortunately Scoters are easy to paint so the next 50 deeks will move from casting to finished decoy quickly.

This paper combines laboratory with field data from professional sellers to study whether social preferences are related to performance in open-air markets. The data show that sellers who are more pro-social in a laboratory experiment are also more successful in natural markets: They achieve higher prices for similar quality, have superior trade relations and better abilities to signal trustworthiness to buyers. These findings suggest that social preferences play a significant role for outcomes in natural markets.

Yesterday morning, we warned motorists traveling in Schuyler County, in particular on State Route 13 in Cayuta, of icy road ways. It was for good reason as a 10 car accident happened shortly before 7 Monday morning near the Chemung County line right as the precipitation started to fall and stick onto the frozen surface.
No significant injuries were reported. Two tractor trailers were involved, including one that jackknifed in the road, causing other vehicles to hit it.
The roadway reopened by 8:30 a.m.

You might try Gad. I've obtained some obscure components for hand loading obsolete cartridges. He knows his business and can supply most any special request.

It's a hoot that you ask for 200 grain .38 Special ammunition which was once offered as one way to obtain enhanced performance from the .38 Special. Conventional wisdom generally has generally held that the heavy bullet was not a good trade off for the decreased velocities obtained in factory loadings. I've shot some old factory loads but never chronographed them. They seemed very mild.
I don't think the heavy weight .38 slug is as useless as some do. I did play with hand loading the 200 grain bullet for some years, using data in one of the older Lyman manuals. The first deer I ever took with a handgun was effectively dropped with a hand loaded 200 grain Remington lead round nose component bullet fired from a long barreled Smith & Wesson Model 14 .38 Special. The bullet apparently turned after entry and was lodged in the rib cage on the off side, the soft lead expanded considerably. Velocity was higher than the factory loading though.
hi bmcgilvray, very interesting , the policeman who turned me on to 299 gr .38 special told me they somtimes key-hole , it would leave a hell of a wound track , will check with Gal, many thanks rojo:comeandgetsome:
I purchased a number of boxes of Remington 200 grain bullets on a close out many years ago and had fun shooting them up. I discovered this single remaining box when I packed up for a move last year.
howdy bmcgilvray, I'll try and post some Western / Winchester style they are semi circle round nose , I gave two boxes to a friend in under cover law enforcement , she had to shot on two different occaisions both one shot man stoppers in upper torso.
Of coarse the dept gave her days off , non dept issue round , the world is getting weider every day :nutkick:
30 years ago and more, I believe in Gun World magazine, an article on the heavier bullets in .38 Spl. for the short (2") barrel revolvers. testing showed these bullets keyholed reliably; the article postulated that this larger striking area improved their stopping ability.
I read the article, scratched my head, and as I was still in college at the time, allowed as I'd maybe give it a try sometime ... but never have.
Short of getting a mold and casting my own, I have absolutely no idea where to get the heavier grain bullets.
howdy Sky Pilot, at on time here in the north east you buy the heads or loades ammo at the many gun shows , ohh the hay dayof the Newburgh gun show , new yorks slice of heven east of the Vegas show, then there was a man Westchester NY who cast them , all long gone but in memories , rojo
Hi guys , here are some picture s of ammo left to right
200 Peters, 200 gr Western luboloy, 200 gr Winchester , 158 lead and last 200 gr Winchester lead ,, great old bullets , rojo :congrats:
Hello, has anyone chronographed their 200g loads? I just posted to a different thread about my "experiments" with 200g lead semi-wadcutter bullets. . .which have become my favorite load! I buy them from Mt. Baldy Bullets and load them myself, and am very interested in doing two things:
1. Ensuring that the velocity of my reloads is comparable to original factory loads.
2. Comparing the penetration of LRNs to the LSWC-K I've used.
Since I'm waiting for a Lee custom mold in 195g weight--it's a round-nose--I will soon be able to cast some of my own. I've seen posts elsewhere stating that factory 200g loads achieved 730fps or 770 fps from 6" barrels; believe the latter was the "Highway Patrol" loading, but unsure how it differed from the 730 fps load. . . .I'd like to know what MV to expect from my 2" Colt D.S. (I've loaded the LSWC-K to 718 fps, which may be about right. Also to 761 fps, which I think might be somewhat warm for a D-frame--not what I want!)
Although I would feel well-armed with many modern hollow-point rounds, I remain concerned about their expansion from a 2-inch barrel. I feel more confident with the heavyweight 200g LSWC-K slugs whose penetration & felt power (i.e. recoil) are convincing to me. I'm looking forward to figuring out where the LRN fits in. . .I, too, have seen posts that indicate the destabilization of the LRNs contributes to their stopping power. Although I think I'd generally prefer the straight-through penetration demonstrated by the LSWC-K, it may be significant that high-velocity rifle rounds such as certain .223/5.56mm rounds have been shown to wind up facing base-forward after penetrating a target. I think I've read where other high-vel. rifles tend to do the same thing. Perhaps the 200g .38 LRN has benefited from the same tendency. Just like the early M-16 ammo, in that they both had a decent record in anti-personnel mode, but lacked penetration through helmets, car bodies, etc. For my SD purposes, I'm not concerned about penetrating car bodies like LE must be.
Happy shooting!
Quick follow-up.
I just loaded 10 rounds with 200g LRN (I think they're 358430) and 3.5g Unique, measuring each charge. Velocity from my Ruger Police Service-Six 4" barrel .38SPL was 710.5fps at 5' from muzzle. Standard deviation was 9+, i.e. single digits. I haven't measured barrel-cylinder gap in that gun yet. OAL was 1.540, bullet crimped into top lube groove just beneath the shoulder of the bullet. I won't quote group size, but will simply state it was tighter than I usually shoot! :-) Temps were mid-90s, humidity. . .YES!
Per the Lee 2nd Ed. reloading manual, standard pressure .38SPL is 3.4g - 3.6g; +P is 3.5g to 3.7g. I'm not sure why the overlap. I forget the exact velocity the book stated, but for 3.5g it's about 760-ish. Bbl. length unknown, but I'd guess 6" from the numbers he gives.
Will soon modify this load and do a penetration test and post results.
Are those the Famous "flying ashtrays"? LOL
Hi LouisianaMan;
The hunting load I developed for the Remington 200 grain lead round nose bullet used 9.5 grains of 2400 which which is a maximum load for that powder. I fired it over my chronograph from both a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a 4-inch barrel and a Smith & Wesson Model 14 with an 8 3/8-inch barrel.
Velocity from the 4-inch barrel was 842 fps yielding 313 ft./lbs of energy.
Velocity from the 8 3/8-inch barrel was 922 fps, yielding 376 ft./lbs. of energy.
I took the buck with the 8 3/8-inch gun, the bullet damaging the right lung, top of the heart and ending up wedged in a rib just under the hide on the opposite side. It had turned sideways and had a large smear of lead about the side of a dime on one side. I don't now recall what the retained weight of the bullet was but it seems that it was about 95 %. The lead on these bullets is really soft.
I like the velocity performance of the 200 grain bullet in the 4-inch barrel. If I could obtain or mold bullets with a large flat nose of 200 grain weight I'd really go for such heavy bullets in the .38 Special (and the .357 Magnum). It'd be a good, hard-hitting bullet at velocities from 850 fps or more.
I once contrived to do an expansion test with the 200 grain bullet and the 2400 load using my 4-inch barreled .38 Special revolver. I lined up six one gallon plastic milk jugs full of water, thinking the bullet should stop in one of them. I carefully centered the sights on the front jug and fired. Upon firing I heard the bullet "thwack" into a stand of willows 50 yards behind my jugs. It had penetrated all the jugs.
Those numbers are amazing! I've seen a post with old Lyman data for 195g, and the load with 2400 was in a different velocity class than the other powders. Its max loads were 893 fps ( no bbl length stated) with your 9.5g load; probably your b/c gap was tighter & gave you higher vels.
How did you find blast and/or flash with your 4" barrel revolver? I think 2400 is relatively slow-burning, thus does best in longer barrels--it might look like a flamethrower from my snubbies!
I'll load up some Win231 tomorrow, probably in the 750ish range from my 4" guns. For SD, I've like 800ish, but want to work in all my revolvers, to include a couple of D-frames--much weaker than the Rugers, of course.
I'd very much like to play around with a 200 grain lead bullet in .38 Special. However, I think I'd rather have a SWC profile. If I ever run across any bullets (not, as of yet at least, being a caster), I'd grab them and work up some loads.
Hi LouisianaMan;
Yes, my data came from the Lyman 46th manual. I pulled it down just now to find that the test revolver that Lyman used was a Smith & Wesson Model 14 with a 6-inch barrel. My Model 14 has a longer barrel and the relatively slow burning 2400 yielded a dab more velocity.
From the 4-inch barrel I recall that the load made a brief yellow flash that wasn't as disturbing as is Blue Dot or Unique when fired in near maximum charges in the .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum with short barrels. I also found signs of powder residue that indicated inefficient burning in the .38 Special, likely due to the lower pressures required for the cartridge. In a Magnum revolver cartridge the 2400 burns fairly clean with full charges.
Still, the 2400 beat out Unique and IMR 4227 for gaining the most velocity from the unusually heavy bullet in the .38 Special. I tried all three powders and settled on 2400 as the most potent choice.
2400 also will kick out the 158 grain lead SWC at well over 1000 fps in a .38 Special with a 4-inch barrel but these days the .38 Special is watered down and some consider the loads in the old publications to be a bit stiff.
Hey Landric;
I agree with you that the heavy weight bullet in the .38 Special if configured as a semi-wadcutter and cast as soft lead would be an interesting and viable choice for self defense in the .38 Special, especially from a snub revolver.

Plastics are everywhere today, and without them most of our modern technology would not exist. Yet the development of the first plastics was driven by very specific, even mundane needs of the time. As a new middle class emerged with disposable income for leisurely pursuits and luxury items, demand for ivory increased. This fueled the search for an artificial substitute - celluloid.
Casein (Galalith) was developed during the search for a better blackboard material. Leo Baekeland's interest in photographic materials led to the development of Bakelite. The enormous potential of these early compounds was obvious, and after only a few years they were found everywhere. Buttons, vanity items, knitting needles, utensil handles, telephones, radios, and automobile parts all were made from plastic. And now the middle class could enjoy what only the wealthy could before.

Around £400,000 is to be used to expand the operations of two organisations dedicated to reclaiming illicit assets: the Civil Recovery Unit and the National Casework Division within the Crown Office. Since the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 was implemented, over £17m has been recovered from illegal activity in Scotland.
MacAskill claimed that using more of the recovered proceeds of crime to fund operations will create 'a virtuous circle to tackle immoral trade like drugs and people trafficking'. Ahead of a meeting of the Serious Organised Crime Taskforce tomorrow, he said: 'The Civil Recovery Unit and National Casework Division are vital weapons in the fight against organised crime. How fitting, then, to use some of these criminals' own assets to further increase our capability to disrupt crime.'
MacAskill said recruiting additional experts, such as forensic accountants, will make it increasingly difficult for organised criminals to hide their money in legitimate businesses set up to launder their illicit assets.
The Justice Secretary also talked about plans to extend the range of so-called 'criminal lifestyle' offences under the powers of the Proceeds of Crime Act. The range of new offences will include bribery and corruption, the distribution of child and extreme pornography, and breaches of security industry legislation. 'By extending the range of offences indicative of a criminal lifestyle, we want to ensure that organised criminals, involved in many different types of crimes, feel the full force of the law,' he said.

Visit my Facebook page for a lot of New Pictures & Harness Guides - E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Here is some helpful information if you want to modify your stock truck wiring harness your self. This junction block is part of the main engine harness, that screws into the bottom of under-hood fuse block. If you want to use the whole fuse block you can, but I like to keep it clean, and wire a lot of these together. There are a lot of wires here. Each injector has its own power wire all the way to this block. All 8 of them can be wired together into a single fuse to clean things up. This is what is done inside the fuse block. Be sure to look at the pictures of the harness at bottom of this page.

If you want to run without the large under hood fuse block, following info might help to see which wires go where.
This is C2 - Underhood Fuse Block connector. This connector is part of Engine Harness. If you look closely on you're harness, this plug has the letters and numbers printed on the plug.
Click Year for Pinouts for Truck Harnesses. Some of the wires inside these links are made BOLD. This typically means this wire is needed or very useful in a stand alone harness setup. C2 information is in these links. Info is more complete for 1999, 2000. Later years should be similar, use circuit #'s to compair. 1999-2002 are VERY similar. Around 2001, the engines no longer had EGR, so that does away with 5 wires. The differences in the 99-02's don't matter a bit when making a harness stand alone. Very detailed info for what to remove, keep, etc is just a few lines down, I leave all this info so you can see changes year to year if you lik.
1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 <-- these are right out of gm manuals. see below for detailed info.
Helpful tips for harness modification.
All the grounds needed will be in the engine harness. Should be a few of them. Rear of engine behind intake, should be two grounds. G103 & G104, behind accessory bracket is a ground. G102
The very first step I do when modifying these Vortec harnesses, is cut all the wires on C100, C152, and cut all BUT the PINK from C2 Underhood. Next step is remove the pins from the PCM connectors you don't need, and label those you DO need. See pinout charts listed here for 99-02 or 03-07 I have color coded the PINS TO REMOVE and the PINS TO EXTERNAL CONNECTION (KEEP).
For 1999-2007!! here is a description of the wires from the PCM connectors that will connect to an external connection, outside the wiring harness. This is all you need for stand alone. (Includes Engine, Transmission) No Emissions.
Blue Connector C1:
Pin 33 - Purple - TCC Brake Switch - This wire tells the PCM when you hit the brakes. It needs 12v+ all the time, and the brake switch should "open" this circuit when you hit the brakes.
Pin 42 - empty - Fan 1 Control - This will be empty on 99-2002 harnesses. A pin can be added for electric fan control. Programming will enable the fan control. PCM supplies a GROUND to turn on a relay. If you have two fans, keep reading, pin for fan 2 will be on the RED connector C2. You must wire your fans through a relay.
Pin 58 - Dk Green - Serial Data - This is the Class 2 Serial Data wire that goes to the diagnostic port (OBD2) pin 2.
Pin 19 and 75 - Pink - 12v+ KEY Power Source to PCM. Hot when Key is in the ON and CRANK positions.
Pin 20 and 57 - Orange - 12v+ BATTERY Power Source to PCM. Hot at all times.
Red Connector C2: or GREEN
Pin 9 - Dk Green/White - Fuel Pump Relay Control - This wire the PCM supplies 12v+ to control a relay for fuel pump. PCM will turn on the fuel pump for 2 seconds at initial key on. When the engine cranks or starts, the fuel pump will then continue to run, untill the engine stops, or you shut off the key.
Pin 10 - White - Engine Speed Signal - Tach signal. Stock programming of the PCM will output a 4 cylinder tach signal. When I program the PCM, I can change this signal to a 8 cylinder. This way you don't have to modify your tach.
Pin 33 - Dk Green - Fan 2 Control - some 99-02 harnesses will have a pin here, this was used for the HVAC Recirculation Door control. The PCM would control the A/C recirculation to help cool the a/c system if it got too hot. In an engine swap, programming can be changed to let this control a second cooling fan. Again, PCM supplies a GROUND to run on a relay. You must wire your fans through a relay.
Pin 46 - MIL Control - This is your ''check engine'' light control wire. PCM will supply a GROUND on this wire when the light should be ON.
Pin 50 - Dk Green/White - VSS - This is a signal generated by the PCM, based on information it receives from the vehicle speed sensor located in the transmission. The PCM takes the sensor signal, and calculates the tire size, gear ratio programmed into it, and makes a 4000 pulse per mile signal. This is useful if you want to use a cruise control box. Some speedometers will use this as an input, others, like Autometer's, will hook directly to one wire of the speed sensor in the trans.
After pins are removed, AND some labeled, I start working into the harness to remove un-needed wires that are now removed from the PCM connectors. Some will pull right out, as they went to C100, C152, or C2 Underhood. Pull all the loose wires that go deeper into the harness back past where the original C100, C152 were located. Tightly tape up the wire bundle at this location, as to not let there be too little or too much slack on the wires going to the PCM. Be sure to use masking tape to hold the basic shape of the engine harness. As you progress into the harness, you will find some ground wires that trace back to splice packs. Simply cut the wire up close to the splice pack. Keep 1 or 2 ground wires for when you add the relays and diagnostic port, you will need a ground. DO NOT LET THE HARNESS FALL APART OR GET TANGLED. As I get up to where wires branch out, I will follow that branch out, remove any wires going into it, then tape that branch back up. Only doing one branch at a time.
You can start to cut and label the pink wires from C2 Underhood. See this link and look for the wires highlighted in BLUE. You may find it easier to use a digital volt-ohm meter set to continuity beep mode, in finding where each pink wire goes. This is pretty standard across all Vortec 4.8/5.3/6.0 harnesses: PCM - 2 pink; MAF - 1 pink; TRANS - 1; COILS - 2; INJECTORS - 8; O2 SENSORS 1 EACH;
Taking apart a 2001 Vortec 5.3 harness....
Custom 5.3 Vortec harness, lets you place PCM 5 feet away from back of intake manifold. Clean layout. I either shortened or lengthened almost every wire in the harness for this modification.

Flashing Uplifting...
I have some flashing that appears to be uplifting. The aluminum seems to be in place. It seem as if the white laminate on the flashing is coming up. I was thinking of cutting the laminate off and painting it. I wonder if its because the sun beats the crap out of it all day long...not sure but any thoughts...
Oh its flashing that is under the siding and meets the shingles. It about 3 inches overlap on the shingles. Shingles are on an overhang that runs across the whole front of the house mid way.

If it's aluminum coil stock flashing it sounds like electrolysis.
Pictures please.
Oh man...I guess ill post a pic tomorrow. Dark out have get up on the ladder. Want to take close ups so I get good feedback. Till tomorrow. Thx for the reply.
DO you mean its an apron flashing on which the paint finish is separating from the metal? What do you mean Laminate? When I think of Laminate I think of Formica.
Lol...sorry. yes your right the paint finish. But from 15 feet below it..it seems like the paint is coming up all in one piece. As if it were another piece of sheet metal glued to another...for lack of better terms...ill post a pic tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
You could just tar shingles over the flashing
I guess that would be a good idea.
According to the op the problem is cosmetic. So why not fix it with a commonly used and proven cosmetic practice.

Can't really tell what is going on there. Normally that would just be a piece of bare or painted metal covering the transition from roof to wall. Hence the name roof-to-wall, or end wall or am sure others call it something else.
Is the part coming off rigid or does it flop around? Only thing I can think of possibly is the installers never took the protective film off before installing it. Can't really tell without seeing it close up, sorry. Unless that is a re-roof and what is sticking up is an old flashing that the new installers just went behind with their metal.

Definition of militia, as pertaining to the second amendment.

the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."
- Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
The 2nd amendment's purpose is to allow for regular citizens to possess arms for their own protection as well as that of the State, as opposed to the paid Military which I believe is under Federal jurisdiction.
The phrase "well-regulated" means to have arms in good repair and accessible, not regulated as in 10,000+ asinine rules to follow.
This is how the founders of the United States of America tried to ensure that no future tyrant would be able to oppress the people of their great country.
BTW, the gun is one of the reasons that North Americans drive on the right side of the road, as opposed to the left as in parts of Europe & Japan.
Can you figure out why?

Ok. I'm just curious about everyones opinion here. It seems that many people feel that the present day National Guard, constitutes the state militia thereunto referred. However when viewed in historical context, this could not be the case. The colonial militia were a body of armed citizens called to duty by the governor of the colony/state. While this is the same as the present day National Guard to some extent, the National Guard still falls under Federal control when activated. So herein lies the enigma, does "state" refer to the federal government, or the individual states?
IIRC the National Guard was originally set up to be solely under the control of the state, but the laws were changed at some point that allowed federal control. So I think that circumstances dictate whether the President or the governor calls up the guard, and who has control.
It's pretty clear that "state" means individual state when reading the constitution.
The founding fathers were worried that the somebody in the federal government would take military control and try to rule, but would never be able to really do so because the state militias would vastly outnumber whatever standing army the feds could have. With single-shot, muzzle-loading rifles, the size of the army mattered a great deal. We've long since passed the point where that would be the deciding factor in an armed conflict.

Does it involve the word "YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAH!"?
It inded could possibly involve that word, but I will keep the forum in suspense until Saturday before revealling how the gun influenced driving on the right side of the road.

"Militia" refers to ordinary citizens with a bit of training. I think swanson had the idea that a militia composed of citizens from the states is more powerful than anything the federal government could have produced, historically speaking.

Individual states. The national guard is not the militia referred to.
"Militia" refers to ordinary citizens with a bit of training. I think swanson had the idea that a militia composed of citizens from the states is more powerful than anything the federal government could have produced, historically speaking.
Not my original idea, of course. It was mentioned by Madison in the Federalist Papers #46.
"The highest number to which, according to the best computation, a standing army can be carried in any country, does not exceed one hundredth part of the whole number of souls; or one twenty-fifth part of the number able to bear arms. This proportion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men. To these would be opposed a militia amounting to near half a million of citizens with arms in their hands, officered by men chosen from among themselves, fighting for their common liberties, and united and conducted by governments possessing their affections and confidence."

Since most people are right handed, they carried their swords on their right side, thus they would move to the left of the road to pass each other whilst placing their hand on the sword hilt to show that they were willing to defend theirself if necessary.
The invention of the gun negated this ritual as you could shoot a person from a distance if you intended to do them harm and not have to wait until they were abreast of you as with a sword.

Since we've goofed up the whole representation thing by believing we "can't fight City Hall", I'm sure the founding fathers, if they were alive today, would be wondering why we haven't revolted against the government already. None of the politicians represent MY views more than about 5% of the time.

The reason that people in the U.K., Japan etc. drive on the left side of the road is that they were feudal states in the past. When travelling on the roads(ruts) a person would not allow a stranger (possible highwayman) to pass by them without keeping their sword between him/herself and said stranger.
Since most people are right handed, they carried their swords on their right side, thus they would move to the left of the road to pass each other whilst placing their hand on the sword hilt to show that they were willing to defend theirself if necessary.

While the reasoning behind the picking of the left hand side of the road is partially true, it's not the only reason the left hand side is used.
More importantly, the advent of the gun has nothing to do with the reasoning behind using the right hand side of the road. I'm not sure where that story cropped up, but it sounds like revisionist history. There is a swathe of 'historians' who like to produce thesis on 'how the modern world was shaped by the gun' which have little untruths like this in them. When the decision was made flintlock rifles had not even made the sword redundant, never mind exerting influence over government policy. Oddly enough, the reason for the policy shift was due to the French and not the flintlock. In Napoleons vision of a new empire, he insisted on changing basic polices. He decided people should drive on the right, so the common people would be physically aware of the changing environments under the Napolionic empire. The shift in driving patterns also made it trickier for invading forces to move about the country, abet in a minor way. As the first colonies in America were Spanish, and the Spanish were one of the countries to be ruled by Napoleon, they Spanish brought the driving on the right policy. The French also supported the concept (obviously) and when the war of independence was over, it became American policy (it also divorced the colonies from the British methods).

What tweet got JT in how water over the weekend?
Justin Timberlake sparked outrage on social media over the weekend after tweeting a birthday message to fellow pop-icon Madonna in which he called her his "mother chucking ninja." According to Us Weekly, people pounced on Timberlake for using the phrase and deemed it racially insensitive. The word "ninja" is widely interpreted as a stand-in for the N-word. Timberlake quickly deleted the tweet, which was meant to recognize Madonna's 56th birthday on August 16.. I didn't even know Ninja meant that.. Did you? Again I say, people are far too sensitive these days..

There are moments in history when those in power believe they have triumphed because of their control over military and police forces. Violent clashes continue in Iran despite threats by security forces they will crush any challenge to the state's authority. Large numbers of police and army contingents flooded the streets but young Iranians continued shouting their defiance. The Ayatollah Khamenei has demanded an end to public rallies and acts of civil disobedience, but Iranian youth are distributing via the Internet the ideas of Gandhi and Martin Luther King on how to conduct non-violence resistance. One group of protestors aimed their anger at the son of Ayatollah Khamenei who is said to be behind the crackdown. "Mojtaba, may you die, so that you don't get the supreme leadership" was the chant of crowds of young people.
A man in his sixties told western reporters the reason he continued to protest was because, "they have killed our dear youth. How can we forgive them? Khamenei has the army and police on his side, but in the process he has lost Iranian youth who are shocked a leading cleric would order killing of young Iranians. One doubts if Khamenei can cite passages in the Koran which sanction such behavior.

Frittata with Scapes and Goat Cheese Recipe
Scapes (a.k.a. garlic tops, garlic shoots, green garlic, spring baby garlic, garlic spears, garlic greens, garlic flowers) are the green tops of hard neck varieties of garlic.
The stalk grows straight up and then usually curls into one or two loops. To produce a large bulb of garlic, the scape is snipped off to force the plant?s energy into the bulb. Most often, growers discard scapes before harvesting; however, they are making more of an appearance at many farmers markets.
Scapes have a delicate, garlicky flavor with less bite than that of a garlic clove. They are extremely tasty and versatile. Scapes have been popular in Asian cuisines for ages, especially in stir-frys. Tender scapes can be used anywhere that you would use a green onion or scallion. They are also great steamed with a bit of butter. Scapes make a great addition to soups, stocks, salads, and many egg dishes such as omelettes and frittatas.
After cooking them gently in a bit of butter, we whisked up some eggs and milk and put a frittata together in less than 15 minutes.
Dotted with creamy goat cheese, this easy-to-make frittata made for a delicious, quick lunch. It was even delicious cold.
If you can't find fresh scapes, they can often be found in the frozen section of Asian supermarkets. Here is a link to the full text recipe for Frittata with Scapes and Goat Cheese.
Happy Cooking!

Time for an ethics panel!
Mike Allen on MSNBC, describing the circumstances of his interview with Sarah Palin:
"I somehow woke up to my phone, and it was one of her aides, who said "if we put Governor Palin on the phone, will you only ask her two questions?' And I said, 'Sure.' And so I was so sleepy that, after she answered the one about the divorce, I forgot what the other thing was that I was allowed to ask her, and she said 'Just go ahead, ask me anything you want.'"
Wait: Mike Allen not only agreed to ask only two questions -- he was only "allowed" to ask about certain topics?
