Stoping Oil Useage--Long
Well I have finally found a way to stop the oil from going through my engine. For those who aren't up on my dilemma--back over a year ago my ccv gave up the ghost and the car sucked up some oil while out on the road--I heard all sorts of stuff go on before I could shut her down--
I have replaced the CCV and all hoses now three times to no avail-- the car has used 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles and sometimes more---I tried to run the car with out the cranck case from being evacuated--did this with a tube going to the valve cover and running out the bottom and letting the gases be pulled out like the old days--via a road draft tube--didn't work still used the same amount of oil--tried to use a oil catch can--still used oil---
I started to read around on different Forums and found one idea that caught my eye--Mustang forum talked about a way to remidy the problem by adding more vacuum to the crank case--they used a scavenger system--don't have one of those though
I now have hooked the distribution unit direct to the valve cover and bypassed the ccv and instead of around 5 or 6 inches of vac goinging into the crackcase--there is now around 18 inches---this has ceased my oil useage---I have driven the car for around 2000 miles and the oil is right at the top of the dipstick like the old days. This is due to the vacuum being added to the crankcase--this helps seal the rings from down under and has stoped the oil useage.
I'm thinking that if I drive the car like this for another 30 days--this may seal my rings
back up enough that the ccv valve can be hooked back up again---
Anyone have any input on this idea?

"The greatest thing about the internet, is that you can quote something and totally make up the source." - George Washington.
I'm far from that---just trying to get an idea if I'm thinking right---if this approach will work--or if it's not viable.
I guess a vacuum pump could be hooked up someway to do the job--that would call for someknid of bracket to be configured and a longer belt for driving it--this type of system would have an added benifit of some extra hp gains---but it would be expensive to configure.
How much vacuum is in the crankcase when the system is properly configured? If just a very small amount (3-6 water inches), it may be that the oil separator is clogged, and is allowing oil to be sucked into the intake, and then burned.
If so, it will eventually ruin the cats.

Normal vac is around 3 to 6 as indicated--but here is the rub--I have changed out the seperator 3 times with new units and each time the same problem---before the origanal ccv went south--never used any oil between changes--afterwards--1 qt every 1000 miles. So there is no way the ccv is cloged---I have also checked the system with vacuum test to make sure everything is sealed properly also
I do not see how higher vacuum could possibly help with sealing the rings in any way. If for example, you have badly leaking valve seals, high vacuum might be able to greatly reduce the oil leaking past the seals though the valve guides into either the intake or the exhaust.
Ever wonder why 5 series electrical issues are common and complicated.. Spend time here and you will understand why. http://www.bmw-planet.com/diagrams/r...9new/index.htm
I would have thought the very same thing until I started checking around as indicated above---vacuum brought into the crankcase can and will enhance piston ring seal---I'm not smart enough to know why
but there are oil scavaging systems out on the market that do that very thing for hot rods, using
vac pumps. These cars equiped with add on vac pumps hooked into the cranck case will develop more hp
and thats done by evaquating the crankcase of blow by---get the blowby out of the system--the system seals better--this can be proven on a dyno also. Check the following site for a little more info--now of corse I'm not adding a ton of vacuum like in the attached info--just what the engine now produces--but what I have inttroduced solved my problem.
While it's nice to seem to have fixed the oil usage issue, I feel that its only temporarily hiding the real problem. Start with a compression test and a leak down test and go from there.
I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be eaten by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.
Did a comp test just a few weeks back--all cylinders read right at 180 lbs---car now has 160k miles --runs great and pulls just fine---only thing that I'm trying to rectify is this oil useage that came out of no where--as for a leak down test--I don't have the tools for that one--but I'm going to keep this project going for another few weeks and then go back to my ccv valve and see whats happening--As stated above--Driven the car over 2000 miles like this and no ill affects--just that the oil useage has stoped---got to add when driving at high speed the usage was bad--now driving at high speed no oil is being used--has me hopeful that I can at last get a handle on this problem with out swapping out with a new engine---thats what I had in mind if this didn't work.
When you say "inches of vac" are you talking water or mercury?
It is my understanding the CCV (measured at the valve cover) is around 3-6 inches of water, and the intake is 18-22 inches of mercury at idle. 18 inches of mercury = 240 inches of water.
Hell if I know which it is--I'm pulling around a 19 on my vac gauge--what ever that is measured by is what
is going on inside the crank case---If this doesn't remedy the problem, there will be an engine swap--Don't want to go through that if it can be helped. Have read of many that have had this same problem come along and bite them--hoping this will work so that others can benifit----will be posting back with the results of course.
You have increased the negative pressure in the crankcase 40x more than stock. I don't think this will be a problem. It should reduce pumping losses and may increase your HP just a little. Many race engines do this.
Please keep us updated on this!
Any pics of your setup?
Also did you ever clean the dipstick double channels? Read Post #31 by mad_dexter carefully:
Hey CN90---I haven't a camera to make the pics happen--but what I have done is--used a peice of 5/8 outside diameter rubber vac hose and attached it to the large opening on the distribution unit----the small opening on the distribution unit is sealed with a vacuum cap. The other end of the 5/8th vac hose is inserted into the side of the valve cover that would be used to hook up the ccv valve--so all and all the vac is going straight from the intake to the crankcase without any ccv valve---works great so far---
On the dipstick tube--yes I cleaned it up to speck--even bought a new one to be sure--nothing helped the problem --except with what I have come up with in the above.
Max--on the vacuum increase--on hte link I provided above is info on adding vac pumps to older V* engine's and after dynoing--they were coming away with as much as 30 horse power---so I figure with the right pump added you might come away with 5 hp in one of the I6 cars.

I wouldn't hook the CCV back up again, ever. Regularly check your oil cap gasket and your dipstick o-ring to make sure they don't become huge vacuum leaks and keep going with this.
You may want to add a check-ball type conventional PCV valve and a catch can to the system to prevent you from pressurizing the crankcase under WOT and condense more of the oil out of the crankcase gases to keep them from being burned and possibly fouling a catalytic converter.
I'm considering bypassing the oil separator on my 540 with a catch can and PCV valve. Our oil separator is buried behind the timing chain and difficult to replace or clean if it clogs.
Have thought of doing that very thing Ascott----I would indeed just drive on except for one thing--with this hooked up this way I have codes from both banks 1 and 2 that says the car is running rich---also the cars a little harder to start in the morning when cold---I have checked the crank case through the vent hole in the valve cover for a vacuum leak yesterday---all is sealed and the crank case holds vacuum---so to get the car back into open loop --gotta get the emmisions hooked back the way the car came from the factory---if this doesn't work though--I will drive the car just like it is--I'm still getting good gas mileage and the car doesn't burn one drop of oil the way it is right now---the service engine light is on and I can live with that if I gotta.
Guess time will tell how all this turns out---going to add---before hooking this up like this the exhaust pipe would be wet and gummy with black looking oily exhaust residue--now the pipe is burning so clean you can drag your finger through it and not see a hint of carbon.
If it has good compression (180psi on all cylinders) then you need to perform a leak down test as the next step. This will show you more about the condition of your rings.
I think you've got the vacuum pump idea slightly wrong- the main reason we put vacuum pumps on the older muscle cars and hotrods is not to gain power. Its because when we install performance camshafts, the camshaft has more overlap. This inherently reduces vacuum at idle by a large amount. So crankcase gas evacuation and power-assisted brakes dont work very well with such low vacuum. So we run the vacuum pumps as a substitute.
Car Craft magazine has a lot of good online articles on this (its a hotrod/muscle car magazine), that are worth reading if you can google them up

And this months "mods" are:
I give you points on the ingenuity scale for sure ! I haven't delved into my CCV repair yet (just passed 180k on the motor) ... but I am sure it is coming.
Hope the results of my pending R&R are different but if I end up with a BMW burning oil like my air-oil-cooled p-cars ... this thread will help.
Sorry for your troubles.

The engine is a closed system with one inlet - the MAF, and one outlet - the exhaust behind the last O2 sensor. That means your inlet for the crankcase ventilation system must be AFTER the MAF. If you're venting from somewhere else, or your oil cap leaks air, or some other spot, then you get extra air in the system, the computer will dump fuel to compensate, and you get an uncontrollably rich situation.

Since the factory PCV system is not used on most race engines because it's less effective than on a stocker, positive pressure in the crankcase builds as engine rpm is increased. The result is pressure on the underside of the piston on the intake and power strokes, which reduces efficiency by offering more resistance to the piston's downward movement in the bore. It also places more stress on the piston rings, thereby reducing their seal capabilities and increasing the chance of blow-by. If that weren't enough, high crankcase pressure also forces oil to evacuate through any seal it can breach.
The addition of a vacuum pump to remove the positive pressure in the crankcase and introduce a few inches of negative pressure (vacuum)
OK, this makes sense when positive pressure builds in the crankcase. In theory, this should not be happening on your Bimmer during normal driving. you did state at one point you tried leaving the crankcase open to the air like the old draft tubes and this did not help. There would not be any positive pressure in this case. I'm still thinking that you
may have bad valve seals. I'd also worry with 18" of vacuum that oil will not flow down the valve guides and you will end up with valves stems scoring /wearing in the guides. You do need some oil to flow into the guides. Note your link states that the vacuum pump adds a few inches of vacuum not 18".
I also forgot to mention that most race engines use low tension 1/16" rings compared to standard engines that use 3/16" standard tension rings. The low tension rings reduce drag which adds HP. But low tension rings also do not control oil as well and can result in higher blowby. Here is a good read on rings. http://www.stockcarracing.com/techar...ics/index.html
How much vacuum should you use? You should check with your engine builder as there may be some special issues or firm opinions that they may have. In general GZMS recommends no more than 15" of vacuum in a drag race wet sump application without pressure feeding oil to the wrist pins. In our own in house testing, anything over 12" seemed to offer relatively nominal increases in horsepower (maybe 15% between 10" and 15").
Why limit vacuum? Engine builders appear to believe that the lack of oil to wrist pins caused by removal of too much oil mist from the crankcase causes wrist pin damage. Some engine builders report fluctuations in oil pressure above 12", we have not noticed that on engines we have observed during testing. However in a recent article, it was suggested that the air velocity passing through the block to heads at the oil return locations causes resistance to oil flowing back to the pan, which could indeed reduce oil pressure. An air line from the fuel block off on a Chevrolet to the valve cover helps mitigate this problem as well as possibly helping to balance the vacuum in the crankcase to that in the valve cover.

I wish there was this kind intelligence on BimmerForums!
Obviously a more mature crowd....
PCV is as old as gasoline engine was invented.
In the early days such as 1930-40 etc., the crank case gas is simply vented to the outside world, causing polution. Thus the idea behind the PCV system.
In the E39, the slope of the hood is more downward (designed to reduce air drag ---> better fuel mileage), BMW engineers brought the Intake Manifold down lower than the Valve Cover, therefore the current stupid PCV setup (the PCV itself is around $80, the dipstick has double channel), complicating the design for nothing.
Let's look at my previous E23 (1983 735i 5sp) PCV design that I posted in E23 forum:
Now look more carefully:
The E39 Intake Point (where the PCV enters) is below the Valve Cover:
The E23 Intake Point (where the PCV enters) is above the Valve Cover.
No. 11 is the PCV: it is simply a short rubber hose connecting the Valve Cover to the Intake Manifold (which itself sits above the Valve Cover)!
As long as the PCV Hose climbs uphill (oil flows back down and gas goes up), you are OK.
This means that for E39, it you hook a hose to the Valve Cover and somehow make an Upward U-turn, then downward into the Intake Manifold, it will work because oil cannot climb uphill but gas can pass through the tubing.
So poolman, whatever you do (maybe the long hose prevents the oil from travelling through, but allows gas to pass), if it works, then leave it the way it is. Great trick though!
PS: Jason5driver, you are correct, bimmerfest people are better than bimmerforums! The quality of the posts on bimmerforums is retarded.....a blind leads a blind sort of thing....

The Gaby Sanchez Trade From a Marlins Perspective
Sam Evans writes for Fish Stripes, a Miami Marlins site on the SB Nation network. Sam covers the Marlins prospects for Fish Stripes, and was kind enough to send over his thoughts on the Gaby Sanchez trade, with a look at the struggles from Sanchez this year, as well as more information on minor league reliever Kyle Kaminska. To see my analysis on Gorkys Hernandez, who went to Miami in the trade, check out Sam's article.
By Sam Evans
On Tuesday, the Pirates traded Gorkys Hernandez to Miami for Gaby Sanchez and Kyle Kaminska. Sanchez, a twenty-eight year old right-handed first baseman, had two years of above-average production for the Marlins in 2010 and 2011. However, in 2012, Sanchez has posted a career-low BB% (6.1) and is striking out at an unusually high rate compared to his caree...

Walnut and Brown-Sugar Rugelach
The combination of cream cheese and butter makes an especially rich dough.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 32
Source: Everyday Food, December 2007
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 bar (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for rolling
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
In a food processor, blend butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined. Add flour, and pulse just until a dough forms. Divide dough in half; flatten into disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months (thaw before baking).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks set in upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, combine egg with 1 teaspoon water to make an egg wash.
Working with one disk at a time, place dough on lightly floured parchment paper, and roll out into an 11-inch circle (about 1/4 inch thick), dusting lightly with flour as needed. Using a large dinner plate as a guide, cut around dough to make a perfect circle; trim off and discard scraps. Brush circles with egg wash; dividing evenly, sprinkle with walnuts and brown sugar.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut each circle into 16 equal triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle of dough; place on lined baking sheets, seam side down. Brush rolls with egg wash.
Bake until golden brown, 30 to 32 minutes. Transfer rugelach to a wire rack to cool completely.

Ins and Outs 2.22.12
Bidding Goodbye to Antiques of Georgetown
A farewell party for Antiques of Georgetown is planned for March at the store, after it officially closes Feb. 29.
"I have been very happy here," said William Donahue, whose first antiques shop was four doors east on O Street. "I have loved being my own boss."
As reported in the Jan. 25 Georgetowner, Donahue—who has operated an antique shop in Georgetown since 1967—is retiring.
An economics major, Donohue worked for Riggs Bank downtown until the antiques world became a business for him. "My wife Mary and I had three kids when I started," Donahue said. "We lived in Foxhall Village." Now, they have places in Bethesda and Georgetown, and wife Mary prefers to spend more time in Florida.
"One of my best clients was Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger," said Donahue, who also recalled when First Lady Nancy Reagan visited his shop and was given two pieces of art she had admired—by the artist.
The most interesting piece he sold? A desk with nine secret compartments. His most sentimental item? A chandelier from his family's R Street home, still in the shop.
The Donahue family—the father was a physician—grew up on 35th Street. The children were born in Georgetown University Hospital; that same building is now Loyola dormitory. A brother, Matt, who lived on Prospect Street, died Jan. 19.
Donahue remembers delivering newspapers in town when many black families lived on 32nd Street and elsewhere. Grown-up memories include Sunday brunches at Doc Dalinsky's pharmacy with trays of food from the Georgetown Inn's Collins Bird. One of those Sunday regulars, Ben Bradlee, might add: It has been a good life—antiquing and other adventures—for Donahue.
The store is having a half-price sale; check www.Georgetowner.com for details on the March send-off reception.
Say Hello to a 2nd Tu-O-Tu
On Feb. 20, owner Mino Sarano opened a second eatery, Cafe Tu-O-Tu Express, at 3421 M Street, N.W., right next to the Pie Sisters. The Regency Row spot on the west side of town complements his first Tu-O-Tu near the Fours Season Hotel at the east side. Manager Bora Akcakanat welcomes his new neighbors with wraps, sandwiches, salads and an all-day breakfast, which includes a "Key Bridge" egg, cheese and bacon sandwich. So, that's area code 202 . . . 337 4455.
New in Town: Suitsupply and Noodles and Company
The Dutch outfit, Suitsupply, known for its quality suits at reasonable prices, will be opening its doors at 2800 Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., at the Four Seasons. The only other U.S. location is in New York.
Noodles and Company is taking over the former Einstein's Bagels location by the Safeway building at 1855 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W. Dine in or take out a wide array of menu options, all containing noodles, of course.

: low or high?
hi curly girls,
i didn`t know exactly what my hair is, low or high. i did some tests, and they gave me different results. The strand test from end to root was smooth and no bumps, but the other way, from root to end, they where a lot of bumps, also my hair squeaks a lot. i did the float test also, but saw that its no longer a good test for finding out the porosity. (my hairstrand didn't sunk)
some facts since i do cg:
my hair dries normal, in about 2 hours my curls are compleatly dry.
i got frizz very fast, even with strong hold gel
my curls doesn`t bounce, they have more of a "hanging" look and nearly no volume, they got easily weighted down from products, oils are no good for me, my scalp tends to get oily because of that, and my hair looks greasy
i added some gelatin to my fsg wich is good, my hair looks better if i use that gel.
so far, the deva ultra gel is by far the gel with the best results on my hair.
i think, i need some products with protein, right?
please help..
medium density, medium-high porosity, 2c/3a Curls, bright cherry red, growing out damage
low-poo: Sante shampoo brillant jojoba care
treatments: diy PT`s
Conditioner/leave-in: TBS Rainforest Condi`s & pure gelatin
styling: 4naturals spring back curling custard
SOTS with a tiny little bit of coconut oil
*don`t like polyquats, glycerine, silicones & too much oil

Matching Numbers Question
Is there any possibility that a "numbers matching" car doesn't have the original engine? I had always heard that blocks were stamped as a group so its possible to have two cars roll of the line with the same number block, but because there are just fewer numbers they'll still match both VINs. Recently someone said that each block is specific and no two block numbers are identical? So what's the deal, or does it vary by manufacturer? Thanks.
Hey man,
Usually the drivetrain will be correct, unless the engine is a service replacement after the old one got grenaded. As far as I know, if it is numbers matching, it will be correct. <img src="graemlins/pimp.gif" border="0" alt="[pimp]" />
On Fords the block and trans #'s are the numerical part of the serial # so it would be hard to have two engines with the same #'s.
There are different numbers on GM engines. The casting numbers which are cast into the blocks and stamped numbers that are added when the engine is assembled. The casting numbers identify the block and the casting date. Obviously several blocks will be cast on a given day and all will have the same numbers if they are of the same family. The assembly date is stamped like this F0622D on the machined ledge in the front of the block on Passenger side. The F is for Flint plant, 06 is June 22 is 22 day, D is a code the indicates what type of vehicle this motor was installed (in this case, the block casting fixed the year as 1961 and D code that year was a full sized Chevorlet body with a 283/170 hp motor and Power Glide tranny) A portion of the Vin number was added on many later blocks. After all this, you can see it is possible to have several cars with the "matching engine numbers" but not have the origional engine. For example, a good friend of mine has a 100 point 57 Chevy, but does not have the origional engine, however the engine casting numbers and date code are correct for his vin number etc. He looked long and hard to find the right block!! To find a true numbers matching engine and vehicle, you must look for more information on trim tags, VIN plates and "hidden VINS" and casting numbers, codes and dates that are found on other major powertrain components and vehicle frames.
Heres a touchy subject...Numbers matching. First off i gotta say, unless you have documented proof or the original protect-o-plate the numbers matching thing dosent matter at all. I could tell you that i have a numbers matching Chevelle and you couldnt tell if i put the same 375hp 396 motor of the same year in 10 years ago. Ill be willing to bet that 85% of the real muscle cars {the ones worth alot of money} are the wrong engine because in the 1960/1970's everyone who had a GTO,SS Chevelle,Buick GS, olds 442, Nova, Hemi etc had it for 1 reason... to race, and i bet ya alot of them beat the hell out of the motor and probably blew one out when they were racing because they had warranty's on those motors {wouldnt that be nice now} So all im going to tell you is unless somone has documented proof that its the original engine it dont mean squat,because in this day in age people lie.
All of the muscle car era GM cars should have the last few digits of the Vin stamped onto the front pad of the block,along with some other coded informantion that you can use books to uncover.A true numbers match car will have correct "cast in" date codes to match the production date of the car.Major engine parts should all have date codes that are within a few months before the build date of the body of the car,never later then the build date.You can learn a lot from reading the trim tag of many GM cars.You cant find out which SS camaros had bigblocks in them,but if you know the paint code for a blacked out tailpanel you can tell if the bigblock car you have is the real deal{since all bigblock camaros had blacked out tailpanels}.Also,if you were looking at a 1971 camaro that was supposed to be an SS396,and it had manual brakes,you would know it was bogus since all SS cars had power brakes in that year,and you could only get a bigblock in an SS,so no matter how dishonest a restamper could be,he couldnt fake something like that.
There are many numbers that can make up a true "all numbers car"in the case of a very rare big money muscle car,you should be looking at every part number including the carb,intake,distributor and transmission stamping numbers as well as the engine and cylinder head casting numbers and dates,and the date codes on the engine,transmission and rear axle.
There are some very well restored cars out there that have lots of correct parts on them that didnt actually leave the assembly line on the car they are now on.There are also some under a tarp cars such as the 68 camaro SS I found a few years ago with 425 original miles on the clock,and the dealer papers,this particualr car was never titled,it just logged a few dragstrip miles up until 1971 when it was loaded into the loft of a local garage and left untouched for over 30 years.That is becoming more common as people now know how much some of these cars are worth.I know that there are hundreds of never driven 1989 Indy Pace Car Trans Ams{one of my favorite late model collector cars}around right now,and I know of 2 people who bough the last year SLP optioned F bodies and never let the tires touch the ground,one camaro with all the SLP stuff and one trans am convertable with the same treatment were loaded off of flatbeds into climate controlled garages in my nieghborhood,so this suff is getting more common.
How much a true numbers car is worth is still dependent on what it is.A 66 chevelle that started life as a 6 banger and was kept in like new condition is still worth more if it was made into a bogus 396SS buy adding the trim package and a non matching drivetrain then the 6 banger would be worth,but a real SS 396 chevelle body with a 1975 pickuptruck 454,or even a mighty LS6 or 502 crate motor in it isnt going to demand the price of a car with the correct 396/375 hp numbers matching motor either.It is all relitive,and sometimes it is up to the buyer to decide how important it is.Good luck.

What treatment: Legology Lymph Lite treatment
Science: An exfoliation and massage treatment to lighten (in feeling of weight not colour), contour and smooth legs to get you beach-ready. My beauty therapist Marilene started off with a 10 minute dry exfoliation with a giant pink mitt to get the blood flowing before massaging each leg in turn (always working upwards in a circular motion with Legology Air-Lite Daily Lift For Legs, a deep drainage cream developed by Telegraph beauty editor Kate Shapland, to encourage further lymph flow. Marilene used a karate chop method to attack my worst affected cellulite areas.
The verdict: After 45 minutes of massage that almost sent me to sleep my legs felt much lighter, although after just one session (they recommend a course of six) it was hard to tell if any cellulite had actually disappeared. If you can't afford the whole course, take home a tub of the special Air-Lite cream for some DIY lymph-stimulation at home.
Cost:£80 for one session. Book a course of 6 and you get one free

Looking for feedback on deck expansion
Hi there, I am trying to plan a small deck expansion at the front of my condo. I want to expand on the existing deck but have somewhat of a challenging situation as I am restricted to what I can alter by my condo association. They have approved an expansion granted that it is built to code but will not allow installation of new posts and footings to support the expansion which would be the easiest approach.
The deck is roughly 10' high and supported by two 6x6 posts and one 4x4 post (Don't ask me why they used one random 4x4!)
I'm curious how much I can cantilever the beams and/or if the expansion can be supported sufficiently by 45 degree angled beams that go from the edge of the expansion to the existing posts. Please see my attached diagram(s) they are roughly to scale.
Hopefully it's clear as mud! http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/1271/deckdiy.jpg
With 28 views and no responses or suggestions, it appears everyone has a 10' pole in hand.
Drew this one has liability implications all over it imo. The fact that the Condo Assoc insists that no new holes be dug is well.......I'll leave my opinion in check on that one. But they certainly have you cornered on this one. I can see a scenario where you are able to use the existing posts to support your addition, but an on-site assessment is certainly needed.
I don't feel this addition cannot be achieved, however I do believe a creative approach is certainly needed. It's good that the deck is 10' off the ground, because this will allow for an angle support of a decent length which you need. I would replace the 4x4 with a 6x6 first thing.
If I knew how to use Google sketch I'd certainly make an attempt on drawing my solution, but I don't have the knowledge on using the program at this point.
Thanks for your reply,
Haha, don't get me started on condo associations! It sounds like it may be time to bring in a professional then. The big challenge (to me) is the upper right corner in the diagram. Trying to support that beam with a post that is too close to the house is a real challenge. I do realize that the way it is now is far from ideal and probably no where near code.
My only thought about how to make the beam work would be to double up the ledger on that side of the house and 'tuck' the 2x6's or (2x8's) under that where they meet the house, go over the 4x4 (or new 6x6) post and support the cantilevered end with a large angled support.
Most building jurisdictions allow a max cantilever of 24" without an engineered design. If you get an engineer to draw up and stamp a design that exceeds the prescriptive limit, then the building dept will usually be happy with that. You'd of course want to check with them before you spend money on an engineer.
What you're trying to do is play engineer. You may be totally on the money with your brace design, but guess what...the building dept isn't going to trust it, or mentor your engineering guess.
The use the existing deck and then add a cantilever, you will have to sister all joists quite a way back with through bolts. This is evn if you are under the 24" maximum. The 36" will take an engineer, who will also have to determine what to do and the connection and support for the 36" extension.
Our HOA requires that the exterior of ever townhouse unit cannot be modified and the doors, windows and storm have to match existing and others but the existing brick on each 4 unit building is somewhat different but familiar. The doors and windows are oversize unit and not available at HD. One owner put in an undersized, cheap door and it took about 2 days before he was told to do it by the HOA since many neighbors complained about lowering property values due to a amateur slap job that was obvious. It was a little strange since we all own our own land and can do landscaping unless it interferes with the HOA lawn maintenance service. - These are not high buck units and are 1980 two story, 1400 sf units and the HOA maintains the exterior including deck maintenance/rebuilding.
Is this a condo unit in a building with others? - If so, you were lucky to get a permit to change the appearance of the front of the unit. Before you get close to expanding come up with drawings that the HOA can re-approve to eliminate any problems.

Cadillac News: REPORT: C/D says Lutz confirms Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Wagon, Cadillac, GM, Rumormill, Luxury
Between the Buick Regal GS, front-wheel drive (and possible hybrid) Chevrolet Impala and the rumored Caprice SS, Bob Lutz has managed to release a scad officially unofficial details on General Motors' future product plans over the last two days. And now comes this.
Speaking with Car and Driver, Maximum Bob went into Maximum Bloviation mode when discussing the Buick Regal wagon, and then ostensibly confirmed that the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon has been given the green light by saying, "You'll be able to get the CTS-V any way you want." Meaning: the CTS-V will be available in both coupe and five-door variants.
Naturally, anything that jumps out of Lutz' mouth should be taken with an extra helping of NaCl, as his past off-hand announcements haven't always come to fruition. Regardless, creating the duo of CTS-Vs is damn easy and we're hoping to see both in production form next year.

School: Bayside
Size: 6-foot-2, 200 pounds
Position: Safety
Recruiting: Blanding had close to 30 scholarship offers before narrowing his list down to 10 schools. He is still considering Florida State, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio State, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Miami, Clemson, and Michigan.
Ranking: Five-star prospect; No. 1 safety; 10th ranked player in the 2014 class
Jersey: # 7 in red
Scouting Report : Although Bayside lost this game 37-7, Blanding played hard the entire time. While he is being recruited to play defense, Blanding also plays at receiver for Bayside. Against Salem, he had eight receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, he made several tackles and had a few pass breakups. The elite junior does it all. Blanding showed good speed, quickness, and ball skills. He is also a leader and smart football player. Overall, Blanding really does not have a weakness in his game. Five years from now, look for him to be playing on Sunday.

How to look Italian
There are some things that Italians do, almost automatically, without even noticing.
I have decided to list the most common ones. When you come to Italy, try to behave in the same way to look like us!
1. gesture. nov 29, 2009 – purchase zoloft , . where can i cheapest zoloft online. effects of zoloft. zoloft dangers. zoloft schedule. zoloft from mexico. zoloft from canadian The Italian language has a complicated structure and so it requires long sentences for expressing concepts that, for example in English, are translated in a quicker way.
So very often, better said almost always, hands help us to simplify and give the idea. So it's not making big gestures with arms and hands but it is to use hands to explain, as if we had to communicate with a deaf person or somebody who does not speak our language.
2. Start sentences with dec 2, 2014 – nov 15, 2014 – usa meds cheap baclofen , street price of baclofen 10 mg, buy baclofen 100., drugstore with free shipping: baclofen 20 mg "Allora".
Actually the word "allora" means "then". It is a part of the language that implies a consequence. So it should be used at the end of the sentence. For example: If you do not want to gain weight allora (then) do not eat candies. Instead, in everyday life "allora" is used to start sentences. It gives those two little seconds of time you need to organize ideas before speaking. So Allora does not really have a meaning, but we say it all the time.
3. BOH generic drug for phenergan what does phenergan cost buy phenergan online . This is a tiny little word, technically an interjection, which I think is a magnificence. It should be said with a closed "o" and with a face that says "I really do not know." So if you ask any Italian for an information that he does not know the very typical answer is: "boh". It is not rude, simply the way it is. Nothing is more typically Italian.
4. thanks and please dapoxetine online without prescription in uk low prices, buying generic dapoxetine in england uk discount prices, buy dapoxetine in new york no
For sure you say "grazie" to thank and "prego" in response to a "grazie".
A little more problematic is the use of "per favore" (please). It is polite always to use it, but not as many times as it is used in English. This means that in practice "per favore" is not used more than once or twice in the same context, especially among friends and relatives. So don't be afraid of being judged rude if you don't keep on saying please.
5. Buongiorno, Buona sera and Buona notte
Buon giorno is always right up until there is light.
Buona sera is used when the sun starts to go down
Buona notte is said only when you go to bed.
6. dec 28, 2014 – estrace prices – pharmacy network order estrace from canada | some online pharmacies do not dispense drugs through licensed pharmacies concept of time
Time is relative because, in itself, it does not exist because it is a human invention. In fact we always live in the present. In Italy time is MORE than relative. For example, if the meeting starts at 9:00 you are perfectly on time to arrive at 9.15. I would even say that if starts before 9.15 the organizers can be considered rude!
So BE PATIENT in Italy and give yourself time. Think of this as a luxury, as a change to stop running and enjoying life.

A year or so ago, my book "Go-to Guides for Guys: ABCs for Expectant Dads" was published (by a competing publisher to my current blogging "employer"). The book has done reasonably well, has received mostly good reviews, and seems to bring a number of laugh-out-loud moments to those who have read it. So, I asked the powers that be here at FamilyEducation.com if I could give a few copies away.
I know that many of the readers of the blogs are already parents and not so much expecting, but many of us have friends and family who are perhaps embarking on this journey (which has led us all to this website).
It's gonna go like this…
For the next two weeks (starting August 25), I will give away one autographed copy of the book every day. How do you "win" one of the books? Simply by doing what you're already used to doing – by reading and commenting. Along with the editors, we will select the "best comment" from each day. Additionally, I may include little trivia questions (like the one MommaT answered the other day). In those instances, the first one with the correct answer wins.
Additionally, I may be changing up the content a bit. I haven't done much of this, but I may just start mixing up a bit of commentary on the happenings in the news views and reviews in the parenting world. One of the things I've heard repeatedly (not so much in the comments, but in email and real life) is that many of the moms appreciate a dad's point of view (as most of the husbands aren't all that vocal about this stuff). That isn't to say that they agree with it. Just that they appreciate it.
That being said, I do love writing about my kid and the experiences with the K-Man, but at some point…I imagine there comes a time when might not want to read about our experiences at the park. (That being said – some of this stuff will still certainly be included.)
So, there ya have it. I so appreciate the fact that you read this stuff. Love the comments and look forward to even more. Thanks for reading. Good luck with the contest.

SEATTLE - A federal judge on Friday ordered the son of a prominent Russian lawmaker to remain in custody until his trial on computer hacking charges, after a prosecutor said evidence recovered from his laptop after his arrest in the Maldives gave new insight into the breadth of his activities.
Roman Seleznev, 30, the son of Valery Seleznev, appeared in U.S. District Court in Seattle, where he was indicted in 2011 on charges that involved hacking into computerized cash registers, stealing hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers and selling the data online for at least $2 million.
Seleznev faces similar but unrelated charges in Nevada.
In arguing for Seleznev to remain in custody, assistant U.S. attorney Norman Barbosa told the court that at first look, his laptop contained 2.1 million stolen credit card numbers, his criminal behavior was ongoing, and his profits had topped $17 million.
"Those funds have remained beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement, so they are probably - almost definitely - available to the defendant" should he try to flee, Barbosa told Magistrate Judge James P. Donohue.
Even as Seleznev vacationed in the Maldives, he had been searching the online system of the U.S. federal courts for charges filed against him - under his own name and his online nicknames, Barbosa said.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which carry a range of potential penalties, with some counts punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Thread: Propecia and what it did for me.

Propecia and what it did for me.
Hi all!
I know, long time, no words.......
just wanted to give an update because I know I'm one of the few that uses Propecia. I started on it a year ago, in August. Although I saw no benefit, I continued using it because the hair specialist/derm I saw said that it could take year to truly see the difference. So, I popped the little pill every day, assuming it was "working". Last month, actually exactly 30 days ago, I made the decision to stop taking it, thinking it was close enough to a year to see the benefit. I wasn't seeing anything. So, I stopped. Well, just like Rogaine....you don't realize the good it's doing until.you.stop. Holy cow. What they say? For me? was true. The hair you grew while on the drug will fall out when you stop. It did. It has. OMG.
I still wear my Flora pieces most of the time. But, I WAS getting by with bio hair from time to time. My shed was down to less than 50 a day and actually, my hairdresser commented that yes, my hair was no where near what it was two years ago, it WAS coming back little by little. The texture is what bothered me the most. No more silky straight hair. I now have wirey, frizzy and curly hair. But I wasn't loosing anywhere near what I had been before starting the drugs. I think I thought...eh....give it up.....still have to "wear hair"....why not just stop trying to fix it.
Well, bring on the post Propecia shed. wow....it's pretty horrible.
so..... I'm going back on it. I don't know if there are side effects. I haven't felt any. It may be doing all sorts of things to my insides, but as of today, I am not aware of any. My endo sees me every three months and says I'm doing fine. so...... back to the ol' pill a day. I now SEE the benefits. "you never know what you have until it's gone".....
so....Propecia and Rogaine DO work....for me, at least. They get my approval, for now.
Hope all is well with the "old gang"!!!

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
I'm so sorry you're going through a shed, I really feel for you. But don't blame yourself, I think we are many to do this mistake, one day or another, because it's so hard to see what actually works, so hard to say "yes my hair is better than what it would have been without taking the drug." So we give up, and then we realize it was not the thing to do !
Anyway, I hope that going back on propecia will help you again.
Oh, and i have a question : you say you didn't loose more than 50 hairs a day with propecia. Did your shed slow down thanks to the drug, or not ? Did you loose the same amount of hairs before and after having started it ? What made you think that it was not doing anything for you ?
I wish you luck and courage.
And thank you for having shared your experience, it is helpful.

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
well, for those that don't know me....(I stopped posting months ago)....two years ago, almost exactly....I'd just come off of a long bout of a very stressful situation. (the kind of thing medical professionals would tell me if I didn't get away from, my health was going to decline). Anywa, once I got away from the stress and went to a place that I thought was going to provide peace and calm.....my hair started fall out by the handfuls. I came to learn that I was having a pretty bad TE. Luckily, I was blessed with a TON of healthy hair and I was the only one that truly knew the nightmare that came out of my head every day. That TE went on for almost three months before I was able to get to a doctor. At the point I finally DID see a doctor, I had a very sever panic attack which lead me to the ER one night. When my very rudimentary blood tests didn't reveal anything drastic, I thought I must certainly must be losing my mind. But, after months of non stop tests...including a scalp biopsy, it was determined by more than one professional that I was extremely deficient in many vitamins, had very low iron and ferritin, had some adrenal stress and finally....have Hashimoto's thyroid disease. All of that explained my panic attacks, my insomnia, weight gain.....blah blah blah. The scalp biopsy showed AGA, uncovered by a stress related TE. Mix in menopause and I was basically hair "screwed".
For the next few months I did everything I read or heard to do to get healthy, including taking synthroid, supplements and doing all I could to avoid stress. Funny thing about stress.....it doesn't stop just because you want it to. The stress that caused the initial TE did go away, but then my husband had a heart attack, my best friend passed away, my husband then needed heart surgery, I had a bout of skin cancer that got horribly infected, needing tons of hair loss causing antibiotics and the whole mess started up again..... MANY hair loss professionals told me to get healthy but to take the Propecia and use Rogaine because it is the ONLY THING PROVEN to reduce hair loss. So, I did. And, it does keep hair loss down to a minimum and it does make bio hair grow very fast. I just HATED the texture. So gross, this manufactured hair. But, gross manufactured hair IS STILL hair. So, at this point, I will take what I can get.
I never thought it wasn't doing anything. I thought it wasn't doing enough. My expectations were way too high. Truth is, I wanted my old Hollywood, gorgeous hair back and just wasn't happy with what I was getting. Now, I understand. You get what you get. And, I'll take what's offered.
Oh...and one more thing....as the old timers here can tell you. I came to terms with the hair loss thing pretty quickly. It helps that I now own three Flora falls and don't mind one bit clipping them on everyday. It no longer gets me down. Of course I miss my hair, but I don't get depressed about it. I am VERY open about it..tell everyone that my hair is supplemented...wear hats to the gym. Basically, life just goes on. NO reason to feel bad for me......it's just hair. All is good.

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Any time you start or discontinue a systemic drug it has the potential to make you shed temporarily, specially something like Propecia. I was on Rogaine for nearly 10 years and when I stopped using it, I did shed for a few months afterwards. However, 1 year later my hair looked better than while on Rogaine. I understand your decision to go back on it though, I would probably do the same.

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Rugbug - I think that I read you were taking 1mg finasteride (Propecia). Depending on your age, it could be that a higher dose would help more. My endo prescribes finasteride 5mg and I take 1/2 of a tablet every day, or 2.5mg. I am 45 but have had a hysterectomy so I also take estrogen. Doc says older women need more than 1mg. I agree - 1 mg wasn't helping me very much but 2.5 mg seems to be alot better. Not much shed at all and baby hairs everywhere. I used Rogaine for a while and it helped alot too but it took it's toll on my face so I had to stop. I also wear a Flora fall - freaking love this thing - and will probably continue to wear it even if all my bio hair comes back. No roots showing when the topper is on - love that!! Anyway, I love your attitude and you have been an inspiration to many on this board. If the 1 mg wasn't giving you any side effects, the 2.5 mg most likely won't either. Might be worth a try. Good luck and thanks for keeping in touch.
Take care,

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Rugbug - nice to hear from you again. I've considered stopping Rogaine as well. I guess we all assume if we don't get our 'old' hair back its not working. But I guess thats not the case.
Before I started I told myself as long as my hair didn't get worse I would continue. It's not worse so I'm going to continue
At least now you know it was working. Maybe 'Strand' is right in suggesting upping the dosage may improve your regrowth.

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Do you think maybe you should have gradually went off it?

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Hi Rugbug
Sorry about your friend and I hope your husband is recovering well.

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Hi! Another update....but first I'd like to mention that I did go off gradually....and the shed didn't start massively...it worked it's way up. I went ahead and refilled my old Rx, having thought I decided to go back on it....but I don't know...I just can't bring myself to take it again. It's almost like...I have come to complete resolve that I will lose my hair and what's the point of trying to save it when truth be told, I am perfectly fine wearing my falls. I stared down the bottle of pills and stared down my Flora collection and....made my choice. I guess what I'm trying to say...out loud for all of the newbies out there.....losing hair does take some getting used to, especially if you had great hair for 40 some years. But, given time to accept it....it's just not that big of a deal and I feel, internally, a whole lot better not taking a pill. And... I'm going to come back and be a regular here....I feel I can be of help to people in here with regard to what works and what doesnt. Plus, omg, I missed you all!

Re: Propecia and what it did for me.
Rug Bug, you and I seem to have the same doctor. We have followed the same protocol. Shots, Olux, and now propecia.
I started 2 months ago & I'm just not sure about this, I don't see
any improvement, in fact I think it looks worse, now I don't know
if I should continue taking it, is $35.00 month, if its not going to
help or if I haven't given it enough time yet. But I don't want
to take it forever either. ??? I don't know what to do. I go back
to my derm next month & I guess we'll have a talk. Sometimes I
wonder if its better to just do nothing & see what happens

We reported yesterday that George Stephanopoulos will become ABC's Chief Anchor following Diane Sawyer's departure from the flagship evening news program, "World News Tonight," later this year.
David Muir, currently the weekend host, will be manning the desk on "World News," but Stephanopoulos will be the network's go-to anchor for breaking news and major events, like national election coverage.
And it seems that not even 24 hours later, he already has a plum assignment: an interview with President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One.
Politico's Dylan Byers reported that Stephanopoulos is joining Obama on the president's trip to Minnesota, and that the interview can be seen on ABC's "Good Morning America" Friday and "This Week" Sunday. Both are top-rated in their categories, frequently beating NBC's "Today" and "Meet The Press," and, incidentally, both are also hosted by Stephanopoulos.
One tidbit from the interview has already made its way to an ABC News blog post, which reports that Obama told Stephanopoulos that there have been "elements…of our foreign policy that have been shaped around the World Cup. Phone calls, meetings, initiatives we had to think about."
The president also sounded an optimistic tone about American soccer, telling Stephanopoulos that while the U.S. is "not Germany yet or Italy or France or Argentina or Brazil…we're now in the mix."
But as ABC's new chief anchor flies high with Obama and his two top-rated news programs, there could be some tension behind the scenes after the transitions announced yesterday.
In the wake of that news, The Daily Beast's Lloyd Grove questioned if all was as joyful as the network made it seem.
Despite ecstatic expressions of happiness by all concerned in multiple ABC News press releases, the new arrangement sets up a potential rivalry between Muir, who can't be expected to be satisfied as a mere news reader "doing six intros a night," as one insider put it, and Stephanopoulos, who made the chief anchor job a condition of his re-upping six weeks ago for a long-term ABC News contract.
As The New York Times reported, the decision "breaks several precedents, chiefly the longstanding hierarchy in television news where the evening news anchor – from Walter Cronkite at CBS to Peter Jennings at ABC – was always the chief anchor for each network." This is different mainly because of how successful ABC's morning shows have been and how key George Stephanopoulos is to that success.
More from the Times:
At the same time, the moves underscore the predominance of morning news television over anything else produced by a network news division. In earlier eras, most prominently when Tom Brokaw was host of NBC's "Today" show, the successful morning news anchor was promoted to evening news anchor, the ultimate career position in television news. But Mr. Stephanopoulos is now too important a part of ABC's top-rated morning program, "Good Morning America" — by far the biggest profit center for the news division — to be moved to the evenings.
Success begets success, or so ABC hopes in the case of George Stephanopoulos and the network's news operation. If Thursday's Obama interview is any indication, they'll probably be just fine.

text: From freshman to senior: how students have changed By Gabrielle Lee, Hurricane High School March 8, 2012 Story Share Isaac Asimov once said, "The only constant is change, continuing change, inevitable change; that is the dominant factor in society today." Change is a regular aspect of life, and as life prepares to change for them upon graduation, naturally seniors may reflect on how they have changed since freshman year. Hurricane High School seniors are no exception.When Chelsea Miller looked back on her freshman year, she realized how much she has matured. Although she loved band when she started high school, she has learned to broaden her horizons a bit more as she has grown up and found other passions. Also, she has learned to think before she speaks, which has made her quieter. Sometimes, being quiet can be a change for the better.Miller is not the only senior who believes she has changed for the better. Aniela Armstrong also feels as though high school has been a maturing experience. As she discovered the beauty of prioritizing and focusing on the important things in life, she has become more worldly.Armstrong expressed that she is ready to make the transition out of high school and into college. She said with a smile, "I used to be so eager to start high school. Now I'm ready to leave."High school, sadly, does not always teach its life lessons in the prettiest of ways, though. After considering all of the changes since freshman year, Payton Boyes concluded that the most apparent one has been in the people she surrounds herself with. Sometimes, when friendships change, it can be rough. Boyes copes with this by choosing to be around people who share the same morals as her, instead of people who will bring her down.Raquel Moye agrees that the changes people go through in high school aren't always easy, but she's learned to take the bad with the good. In fact, she believes that many events that have shaped her as a person occurred as a result of losing people who were once close to her. Making friendships and going on mission trips have also influenced her life."My whole outlook on life has changed since freshman year," Moye said. "Life has become real. It's no longer a game." If she could go back in time and give her freshman self advice, it would be to spend time on things that matter. "Don't wait until after high school to start your life. Make your life count."Abby Crown, who believes she has become much more independent throughout her high school journey, agrees with Moye. She would also add the advice to not fill her life with so many distractions. High school can be petty, but by the time senior year comes around, a fair portion of the worries freshman may have are miniscule. Armstrong and Miller added that, for instance, how popular a person is or what boy she is currently dating no longer defines her. The years between freshman year and senior year give people substance. Those are the years where character starts being more closely challenged and defined.

Dropcheckers & Inline Atomizers
I have recently installed an up aqua inline atomizer about 12 days ago on my 29g with a 2213. I was still getting some twisting leaves on my hygros with my drop checker lime green so I started cranking up the co2 now my fish are not acting funny at all but my drop checker is straight up yellow. Do the tiny bubbles render the dropchecker useless? If I could go that high without the fish stressing I guess I was way short on Co2. Do atomizers use alot of Co2? I am at like 4bps or so at 30psi so far.
I used a scale to make the 4dkh solution but you never know I guess. I think the bubbles are just going into the dropchecker and giving false readings. I was worried about the 30psi also but it hasn't had any problems yet. It does produce alot of micro bubbles the water looks fizzy. So if you don't like that then it is something to consider but it does work good and thats 1 less piece of equipment in the tank.
I have Up aqua in my other tank that run 20 psi. The GLA version needs a least 30 psi.

Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood highlighted the influence of goalscoring substitute Jermain Defoe as he admitted his side were caught cold by Crystal Palace before running out 2-0 winners at White Hart Lane.
England international Defoe, who will leave next month to join Major League Soccer team Toronto FC, came on with the game finely poised at 1-0 following Christian Eriksen's opener, and sewed up the three points for Sherwood's side with a measured finish.
Palace had dominated the first half and should have been in front after they were awarded an early penalty, which was hammered high and wide by Jason Puncheon.
Eriksen opened the scoring five minutes after the break before Defoe grabbed his first Barclays Premier League goal since April to take Spurs fifth in the table and leave his manager delighted.
"Jermain will score wherever he plays, in any league in the world," Sherwood said.
"He is a goalscorer, he loves scoring goals and if he doesn't score he gets the hump. He will go home happy tonight.
"He warmed up like an Olympic athlete. I saw the appetite he was showing to come on and when he came on he showed his worth."
Palace, who slipped to the bottom of the table following the defeat, not only spurned a penalty chance but also created the best of the opportunities before the break, with Sherwood admitting the Eagles were much more attacking than he had anticipated.
"I think we were taken a bit by surprise by Palace," he said.
"The amount of attacking options they had, they were very powerful in the wide areas and deliver a lot of balls into our box and we had to stand up to it.
"The only positive for me in the first half is that we got in at 0-0 but in the second half I thought we matched them for desire and effort and then our quality shone through.
"We could have scored a few more and then Jermain comes on and gives us a bit of breathing space."Reuse content

8 Taliban killed in Nuristan clash
PAROON (PAN): Eight Taliban militants were killed and 10 others injured during a clash with border police in the eastern province of Nuristan, officials said on Saturday.
The eight-hour clash took place on Friday night in the Barg-i-Matal district, a spokesman for the first border police zone, Idrees Mohmand, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The bodies of two fighters were handed over to the Taliban through tribal elders, while the others, including foreigners, were left at the scene, he said.
Commander of the border police, Brig. Gen. Aminullah Amarkhel, said that the insurgents had suffered many casualties in the firefight.
The clash in Barg-i-Matal, bordering Pakistan's northwestern valley of Chitral, lasted two days, Nuristan Governor Jamaluddin Badr said.

In her NCAA debut, Hegazy just missed earning a consolation final slot in the 200y back, finishing 19th (1:54.63). She was also 46th in the 100y back (54.43) ... ... At the 2009 Pac-10s, she finished a career-best third in the 200y back in 1:53.63. It was in prelims, however, when she clocked a 1:53.27 to break Lindsay Benko's 12-year old school record (1:54.42). Hegazy was also 10th in the 100y back (53.89) and 26th in the 100y free (50.59) ... Early in the season, she set the USC pool record in the 200y back (1:56.64) ... An accomplished artist, Hegazy's work was featured for the second consecutive year in the Louis Galen Annual Artletics Exhibition at USC's Galen Center Arena.

She earned 2008 Pac-10 All-Academic honorable mention honors ... Hegazy was among 14 Trojan student-athletes whose work was selected for the Louis Galen Annual Artletics Exhibition that was on display in the spring of 2008 at the Galen Center Arena. The third-annual exhibition included artwork in painting, drawing, design, ceramics, film and digital photography by intercollegiate student-athletes in USC Roski School of Fine Arts courses.
2007: Hegazy was 13th in the 200y back (2:00.32), 19th in the 100y back (56.13) and 39th in the 500y free (5:02.94) as a freshman at the 2007 Pac-10 Championships. Both of the aforementioned backstroke times were personal bests. She began competing for USC in January of 2007 as a spring semester enrollee and quickly earned a role as a dual-meet contributor.
HIGH SCHOOL: Hegazy graduated from American City College High in Cairo. She also attended Sunny Hills High in Rolling Hills for one year.
EGYPT: A national and Arab record holder in the 50m, 100m and 200m back, Hegazy joined the Egyptian National swimming team in 2002 and has competed internationally for Egypt since 2003 ... Most recently, she raced for Egypt at the African Swimming Championships in September of 2006, winning silver medals in the 50m and 100m back and bronze medals in the 200m back and 400y medley relay ... At the 2005 Mediterranean Games, she was ninth in the 100m back and 10th in the 200m back ...

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- TCOMLP, the global leader in affordable persistent surveillance solutions, has announced today it has successfully deployed its revolutionary ultra-durable hull material which enables operations of surveillance aerostats in extreme weather conditions for long durations, meeting the most demanding requirements of US Army's Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System (JLENS) program.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130828/MN70946)
Responding to its military client requirements, TCOM, LP has developed a revolutionary new aerostat hull material that offers increases in overall strength, strength to weight ratio, environmental resistance against temperature and humidity, and improved helium retention. Together, these attributes enable TCOM aerostats to fly longer at high altitudes, in greater wind and with heavier payloads than any previous generation.
TCOM has applied the new material to its new 71M high Block II altitude heavy lift aerostats in order to meet the demanding US Military requirements of the US Army's Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System. This next generation of laminated aerostat material is stronger and lighter than all previous designs, allowing the construction of aerostats capable of lifting over 7,000 lbs and surviving winds of 100 kts. The strength is provided by a unique structural layer and is coated with polyurethane adhesive which provides bonding to a laminated film system that includes DuPont Tedlar® film on the outside. The Tedlar® film layer provides excellent weather protection and reduced helium permeance, enabling longer, higher surveillance missions. TCOM's new hull enables aerostats to operate continuously in winds of up to 100 knots with blowing sand and snow and extreme temperatures of up to 130F.
"JLENS' 360-degree long-range surveillance capability expands the battle space because JLENS can simultaneously detect and engage threats like swarming boats and anti-ship cruise missiles from up to 340 miles away," said Dean Barten, the U.S. Army's JLENS program manager. As the tethered aerostat system supplier, TCOM ensured that the aerostats could remain aloft and operational for up to 30 days while meeting the JLENS altitude and payload weight requirements.
When discussing deployed 71M Block II aerostats, Ron Bendlin, TCOM President and CEO, explained "These aerostats have demonstrated the lowest lift loss of any large class aerostat while increasing strength by 30%. We are proud to support warfighters in the US and around the globe with increased mission endurance and greater availability through reduced maintenance."
To date, the 71M Block II systems equipped with the new hull material have accumulated over 100,000 hours of use during deployments which include the demanding JLENS System Design and Development (SDD) phase. JLENS operators stated that "the aerostats exceeded our requirements and expectations for helium retention and durability during the demanding SDD phase of our program and the aerostats have been key to making this phase of the program a success."
