thanks speedette!
This is a discussion on Those little green underlines! within the News and Announcements forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; thanks speedette!...
I'm sure I signed those away when I clicked "agree" when i signed up for membership.Originally Posted by timber
Maybe I could start putting in my own sponsored links in my posts so I could turn a quick buck on them too.
However, I did choose to post my mods here rather than other sites partly because of the lack of those annoying keyword ads. I don't begrudge people making a buck...even this site does start turning a profit...I don't care, why should I? Banner ads are just a part of web site formates, but taking MY words and twisting them into endorsements possibly for companies I may not like, is a bit over the line. Now for most of the idle banter I post on here...I really don't care. Its just day-to-day talk and noone cares, but when I take the time to think through a design for a mod, take the time to post pictures, explain it...you know invest myself in it, I really don't like the idea of someone else making a buck on it without at least asking me first...and if the philosophy of this site turns into "like it or get the hell out"...then it really HAS changed.
I could have just as easily posted on I-club or NASIOC, both of which have several times the traffic of ClubWRX, but I just thought I'd be safe from that here.
I know this is just a test-run...but in my business, when someone says they're just testing something out..its just a nice way to transistion to an unpopular policy...first you give them hope that its not permanent...and then some time goes by, people shut up, and maybe a few REALLY pissed off people leave, and then, when people stop paying attention it unceremoniously becomes permanent. One of the oldest management tricks in the book.
I hope I'm wrong.
I also hope I don't get squeezed out by this new policy change because I really do like it here (the word squeezed...sponsored today by Florida Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice...because nothing tastes like fresh-squeezed).

Hey! Sweetie! You can turn them off! See post #68Originally Posted by blarg
If everyone turns them off they'll go away. Besides, maybe some people like the links? But if you can turn them off, who cares?
P.S. Tim is mainly looking for POSITIVE SUGGESTIONS at this point. Just think of it as "Trial--Phase 2" instead of "El ClubWRX Permanente"

I know you can turn them off (i've had previous experiences on i-club et al). That's not really the point. I know I can blind myself to them, stick my fingers in my ears and hum real loud and pretend they're not there...but the fact that someone is using my intellectual property to make themselves money, and without asking me still bugs me. Does anyone really care? After all these are mods on some 5-year-old car that was pretty cool when it came out but now its just old hat and the mods are ones you can do pretty much for free so noone stands to make money on them anyway so noone really cares anymore and I should just get over myself...right?Originally Posted by Speedette
oh wait..the point is someone IS trying to make money on them. (the word "make" is sponsored today by Viagra sildenafil citrate tablets - official sponsor or NASCAR's #6 Mark Martin car.
man....first I go and see King Kong...now this. Its only Monday and its already been a pretty disappointing week.
lets see...a contructive sugestion....how about exluding the tutorial section? everyday conversation and B.S. is fair game, but not stuff that's unique to this site? The tutorial section doesn't really have huge active threads anyway.

Well Tim will get donations because he asked for them. I think your DIY mods are great and if you would like me to make a donation for your intellectual inputs, I gladly will. I do see what you're saying, but it feeds into the problem with the internet as a whole. The act of people generously contributing to this entity where few see monetary compensations from these acts. When you thought the club was free, you were contributing, when in fact it was never free. There were always banner ads paying someone else for your information. And who doesn't want to make more money, anyway? I can't blame Tim. But seriously, seek reparations if you must. But along the same lines, should I seek monetary compensation for all the witty repertoire that I have submitted to this forum that may have made members snicker with joy? I mean, they are my original work. Or what about the videos that people have submitted (mostly from general sites like ebaums world, etc.)? I mean, Tim is monetarily benefiting from them too, I guess. Should they be seeking copywriting infringement claims?Originally Posted by blarg
Sorry for my rant, but sometimes life is not fair. It was very generous of you to share your knowledge but I don't believe it was Tim's intentions to make bank off of your contributions. Besides, your input makes up a very small particle of the club as a whole so I would say he is making a very insignificant amount off of your contributions, if any at all. You acknowledged the transfer of this information as of your own free will, so in the same token, you are able to retract it if you want. But you need also be aware that when submitting information to the internet, people will take it and use it and plagerize it...thats just one of the weaknesses that comes with the territory. But you should believe that the individual non-monetary benefits gained from the sharing of information is far greater than the inevitable weaknesses.

b/c tim said it wasnt' a revenue generating action. he said the club didn't need money to break even. he said nothing would change for the members.Originally Posted by Verdugo
all of those things were untruths, that i wasn't sure were false until private, offline discussions with Tim on the subject. Tim (and others) feel strongly that i hold alterior motives. I think that spawns a certain type of reaction. the truth is, i have no alterior motives. i'm not bitter about anything in the past, and i don't have any personal issues with tim (unless he has them with me).
so, while i disagree that i was childish (b/c changing policy at the expense of unsuspecting members in an attempt to increase revenue IS selling out) I simply couldn't have said what i said, b/c a lot of new information is now coming to light (like the fact that the donations are a compensation to Tim for running this place, not "just to tmake it better for the members") "Sellout" is hardly and insult. if Tim took major offense to it, well, i guess i'm sorry. But perhaps he's just got a guilty conscience on the matter.
Armin, your protection of Tim, and rallying to his cause is admirable. But even you must admit that the story has changed dramatically since it was first delivered. ClubWRX.net is now soliciting donations and more intrusive advertising campaigns to make a profit. Both of these actions were advertised as just the opposite.
Stop being so pathetic, I wanted to stick to the topic and save you the embarassment that's why I PMed you with the stuff that I had to say to you. I have very little if no respect for what you have said and done on the club recently and I really don't want to waste anymore time with you on this. Feel free to post what I PMed you with if you want to feel good about yourself and the rest of the members can decide what they want to do with it.
If all you're going to do is complain about the forum and the fact that the site does generate a revenue go for it. You can complain all day... just not at the expense of my time and our members' time. Seriously.. it's quite embarassing for me to ask you to leave the site if you don't like what's being done here becuase you were a moderator here. If you have a point to prove please start it somewhere else because I'm sick of you jumping onto every single debate and do nothing but complain.
ClubWRX is here so value is delivered to the people who come here. You just jumped in here and said that I'm a sell out because of the 30 second flood control and a limit to upload... guess what? The limit has always been there and the 30 second flood control is standard in vBulletin, that's why I get irritated when you and others say that the site is selling out. Anyways, do a search on the member donation thread and you'll see why I added that feature, I don't feel the need to explain myself everytime some ignorant member pieces some random facts together and calls me a sellout.
I've said this over and over again... If there were no ads on the site we would still be using vBulletin 1.0 with texts only. Does the site make enough money to sustain itself from the vendors? Yes it does... does the site break even? Yes it does if you just look at the bandwidth and software... I am the admin of the site becuase I love everything about the site (except having to deal with crap from people like YOU.)
I've given you enough hints that you're not welcome here any longer and you just don't seem to get it. You're this close to getting banned because I'm really sick and tired of pampering you all the time. Save yourself the embarassment because you dont' know how bitter and pathetic you sound.

Sorry guys let's stick to the topic from now on. Are people still getting errors from IE? I replaced some javascript to the bottom of the page so it shouldn't cause anymore problems.

Texas' freshman U.S. Senator Ted Cruz is used to taking on enemies, and now he is taking on one that is far better armed than he is: the U.S. Military.
1200 WOAI news reports that Cruz is co sponsoring a bill that would strip military commanders of their authority to investigate, prosecute, and punish the perpetrators of sexual assault in the ranks, instead turning that responsibility over to a civilian commission.
"For any young solder, to be subjected to sexual assault and rape is completely unacceptable," Cruz told 1200 WOAI news. "I am encouraged that we can find a bi partisan commission coming together."
Cruz is co sponsoring the measure with Sen. Kathleen Gillebrand (D-New York).
The proposal is wildly unpopular with all levels of the U.S. military. Currently, military base and post commanders have complete and unquestioned authority over who is investigated and prosecuted, and what punishment they receive if found guilty. Maj. Nidal Hasan could have conceivably been set free on the order of the Fort Hood post commander.
Several of Cruz's fellow Republicans are threatening to filibuster the bill to death, but it also has support from several groups which advocate for victims of sexual assault in the ranks.
The issue was first proposed in 2011, when the scope of the sex with recruits scandal at Lackland Air Force Base became public, and there were allegations that claims of sexual abuse by Military Training Instructors was not being taken seriously.
The issue gained more traction last year, when a decorated Air Force pilot was convicted of sexual assault at a U.S. base in Italy, only to have his conviction, sentence, and responsibility to register as a sex offender, removed by the base commander, who was an old friend.
"We would remove the decision to prosecute these types of crimes, and put that responsibility into the hands of impartial experienced prosecutors," Cruz said.
There are an estimated 26,000 sexual assaults and forcible rapes in the U.S. military each year, and it is estimated that the majority of the victims are men.

Washington Trust appoints new president, financial officer
Washington Trust appoints new president, financial officer
WESTERLY — Edward "Ned" O. Handy III has been appointed president and chief operating officer of the Washington Trust Company. David V. Devault, of Westerly, a 27-year employee of the bank, has been named vice chairman, secretary and chief financial officer.
Joseph J. MarcAurele will continue to serve as the corporation's chairman and chief executive officer.
Handy joins Washington Trust from Citizens Bank, where he has served as president of Citizens Bank, Rhode Island, since 2009 and president of Citizens Bank, Connecticut, since 2010, both divisions of RBS Citizens, N.A. He will assume his new position in late November.
"Ned is well known within the industry and brings a wealth of regional banking experience to Washington Trust," MarcAurele said in a statement. "As a Rhode Island native, Ned is an active community leader and is dedicated to the same principles that have made Washington Trust one of the premier banks in the nation for more than 213 years."
Handy began his banking career as a commercial banker with Fleet National Bank. Over the past 27 years, he has held various positions of increasing authority, including serving as president and CEO of Citizens subsidiary Charter One Bank of Ohio and as head of Citizens national commercial real estate finance division. Additionally, he served as a member of Citizens' Executive Leadership Group.
A Brown University graduate, Handy serves on numerous Rhode Island boards, including Rhode Island Foundation, Crossroads Rhode Island, Delta Dental of Rhode Island, Rhode Island Hospital Foundation, Providence Foundation, Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, and Downtown Providence Parks Conservancy. He also serves as a member of the Providence College Presidents Council, Salve Regina University Presidents Council, and the Rhode Island Commodores.
Handy and his family are residents of East Greenwich.
In addition to Handy's appointment, the corporation announced Devault's promotion.
"David has been instrumental in the corporation's successful growth during his 27-year tenure, and will continue to be a valuable part of our leadership team," MarcAurele said.
Devault oversees the corporation's financial affairs, governance matters, and investment community relations. He is also responsible for managing various operational areas within the organization.
A University of Massachusetts graduate, Devault served with the public accounting firm of KPMG in Providence from 1976 to 1986 when he joined Washington Trust. Over the years, he has held various leadership positions, most recently serving as senior executive vice president, secretary and chief financial officer.
Devault currently serves as a director of the Ocean Community YMCA. He previously served as chairman of the Rhode Island State Alliance of YMCA's, chairman of the Providence Chapter of Financial Executives International, and chairman and chief volunteer officer of the Westerly-Pawcatuck YMCA.

thanks for the support, your car looks awesome asswel! I'd like to know and see more about it, notify me when you put up a thread of your own, I'm pretty sure your car deserves that.
some details i love on your car:
-OEM wiperstance rearwindow
-smoke taillights
Glad you like it Ken. Actually have 134.000 kilometers ~ 83.500 miles and has the following extras: A/C, power steering, power windows and central locking.
I had also thought about buying the Ronal, will change the driving respect the default tire?
Will try to open a thread, but it will be difficult because my english.
Thank you!
P.S: How is that you know a lot of mechanic? that's incredible
Jeez I'm about to do that to my car
On my mechanical knowledge: started when I was 16 on my moped(aprilia rs50), then when I turned 18 bought a gsx750 wich I restored, then sold that for this gti. I'm going to school to become Automotive engineer.
progress today:
This thread makes me wanna go and unbolt everything on my engine block and clean it
Whats this shinny thing at the bottom left of the picture that has an electrical adapter to it btw????
vacuum opperated elektrical switch, not sure what it's for.
Perfect Ken. We will continue the thread day after day. Keep us updated with your AMAZING restauration.
cam is a bit worn:
little bit oxidated:
looking much better:
few things done, camgear oilcooler sensors normastuff...not sure i'll be using the factory oilcooler
Great job. Keep it up. I'm going to clean the IAC valve, how do you recomend me to clean it?
what does IAC stand for?
not sure which part you mean
I'm almost out of parts to clean
I'm gathering everthing so it can go to zinc plating, sandblasting and powercoating.
Just need to remove the front subframe of the car.

"Idle Air Controller"
I'd use the biggest steel wire brush you can find(the bigger they are, the softer on the metal/plastic), It doesn't look corroded, not sure why you'd even want to mess with that, looks perfectly fine to me
If you want to make it shine, then polish it up after wire brushing or paint it
you should dissamble it completely offcourse
That's an image taken from Google, that's not mine.
I want to change it, because when braking for example in traffic lights, the car gets about 100-150 rpm, and I read that cleaning it, the idle improves.
I will buy a steel wire brush.
Thank you!
that's the inside then that needs cleaning, try some carburator cleaner
if that doesn't work, replacing(expensive when replaced with a brandnew part) is your only option.
Perfect, thank you Ken. Do not want to mess your thread more, if I have questions I will send you a PM.
Keep it up and thank you again.
I was going to get a new one, however since it's original, don't mind the beru cap on it, it's temporary. OEM cap on it eventually.
cleaning up the fuell lines:

You'll get a new car, straight out of the dealership.
PS: We want video first start after restore.
that will be a while
I'm almost done with my engine parts
-the old trans is off my engine
-the head is also off
-so is the oilpomp, clutch, engine mounts, startermotor and that plate between the engine and trans.
cylinder 1: fine
cylinder 2: bit of a score in the wall, my nail catches on it
cylinder 3: fine
cylinder 4: piston is a bit lighter of color(think the injector is probably f*cked), rest is fine
fine, exept for 2 brokes studs for the exhaust, 1 of them is inside the cylinderhead.
clutch was on the edge of being worn, so I need a new one, this one was a sachs
The work have you been done on this car is great!
Have you thought about putting a 4-point support in subframe... Maby help the handling!
Great Job!
More pics....
yeah sure i've thought off that, however it will have to wait.
pics of dirty things:
still the first original startermotor:
engine and stuff:
not good:
pistons, looking good:
enginedoctor is going to be at my place tomorrow examining my engine, taking measurements and checking whether the engineblock itself is worth saving(cracked or scarred?)
great detailing
mine 1984 EV pistons looked better when i took them from the block, i hope yours will be ok

Yes, I have the forest fire effect too when it comes to my hair. I probably go through a barrel of conditioner a year, LOL.Oh yeah..my hair seriously needs conditioner on a super regular basis. My hair feels, looks, and acts better when it's well conditioned. Plus my hair is naturally dry as I don't know what..could start a darn forest fire on it's own. So conditioner..makes a HUGE difference for me. I could live without oil if I had to do so (but I'd rather not)..but no conditioner..I will just like this dude with the curl:
Gimme my Activator, Man - YouTube
I'm not even playing either!
LOL! Thank you! I'm pretty much doing the same think you do: Water, conditioner (leave-in or rinse out) and oil, oil oil.I know this is going to sound super creepy but I looked at your hair pics and my heart stopped. Your darn hair is pure magnificence on all types of levels! The shine...ohhh the shine! I melt when I see soft shiny curls like you have...WhatEVA you using..keep doing that..cause all this time I've known you on here I had no idea you was working with all that beautiful hair. I guess sistas at the gym do be on swoll when you take your hair down..cause daaaaaaaaaaayum!They still are for me, especially since my hair needs and thrives on protein and henna. When I do that, I need to do DCs after. Its never one or the other for my hair. Conditioners still condition my hair in ways oils cant - they serve a different purpose.I discovered by accident that water and castor oil can leave my hair very defined, tangle free, and shiny.
I am not sure of what my porosity is yet- these things can get confusing, but I think it may be normal.
I am now wondering if conditioners are necessary at all?
Well excuse me Miss Greenandchic!
Yeah, my hair sometimes turns a lot of heads (all races) when I wash my hair and its just hanging down. I mainly pineapple at the gym these days though.

James Crumley's latest crime novel, The Right Madness, was written during a time when Crumley fell ill and spent considerable time in the ICU at Community Hospital. Crumley dedicates the book to the city of Missoula, taking a page to thank those who "stepped up to the mark when things went badly for me." In recognition of the novel's release on Monday, May 9, the Independent invited University of Montana professor emeritus William Kittredge to write about his old friend and colleague.
Jim Crumley, on station in one of his places, the end stool in the Depot, just to your right as you come in the back door. He sits against the wall, getting into his 10-year-old Macallan, Coors back. "First tonight." Yeah, but what about this afternoon? He's talking, laughing, grumping and eyeing the evening. What this is to a great degree about, as pals come along and slap him on the shoulder, is friendships. Crumley takes them seriously. He remembers a first husband's name, the names of the kids, their dog. It's important. A novelist's mind, driven to know where life goes on, and how, even why, cruel or sweet, in all its details. What he doesn't know, he knows how to find out, or look up. He takes people one at a time, quirk by quirk. Our downtown storyteller. A lot of people in Missoula love him for it.
Crumley earned this regard over decades in Missoula, teaching at the University of Montana in the 1960s, teaching in Arkansas and Fort Collins and Pittsburgh and El Paso and at Reed College in Portland, taking various runs at script writing in L.A., but always coming back. "Missoula," he says, "town without mercy." He seems to like it that way. I met Jim in the spring of 1968, at a writer's conference in Missoula, a lucky trip. I met lifetime friends. I'd call Crumley's house. His first wife, Charlie, would answer. But Jim wasn't there, not once. They'd split up. He showed up most memorably at a party on the mezzanine of the old Florence Hotel. Foolishness ensued. Broken glass, a motorcycle wreck, breaking and entering (Crumley's house in the Rattlesnake, after an impatient wait for him to regroup following the wreck). The rest of the story is his to tell.
The next winter, I was looking for a teaching job. Jim had published his first novel, One to Count Cadence, and gone to teach at Arkansas (better money). I got the job he left. The next summer, he was back, with his second wife, Maggie, and her three children. Flush with money out of the movie business, he showed up with a U-Haul truck, an orange Dodge and three motorcycles (at least that many vehicles), and bought a house on the hill, where he planned to live like a middle-class adult. Fat chance. He asked when I was going to give his job back. "Never." I said. Crumley laughed.
Clearly, he didn't want it back. He took his entourage to Glacier Park, and rented a cabin in Polebridge, with the idea that he'd begin his second novel. No luck. Hoping to stem chaos by connecting to the natural life, we hiked in for a few days at Bowman's Lake with Jim's buddy from Arkansas, Harold McDuffy. Camping (if you can imagine; we were young). The fellows down the shore forgot to bring food. They had a grocery bag of marijuana, but were too stoned to fish. We had fish galore. A barter culture evolved.
"I ask for truth," Eric Johnson, deceased and mourned, said in Sammy Thompson's old Eastgate Bar. "What do I get? Candor." That's what you're likely to hear from Crumley, if you get down to cases about matters of importance. He's not good at evading the issue, if it's serious, and he's even cranky if crossed, or lied to. But he says he learned to be nice at the age of 52. Jim can be generous to a major fault. He's profoundly loyal, to family, ex-wives, and an extended family of friends scattered all over the country. When his father, Shorty, died after a life of roughneck work in Texas oil fields, Jim was openly brokenhearted. He visits Maggie's children, adopted long ago, and he took his sons Conner and Chris, from his marriage to Bronwyn Pugh, on a cross-country driving trip to visit his mother, Ruby, in her Texas nursing home. The boys videotaped it all. Jim works at maintaining his connections and keeping the stories straight.
After decades of teaching, adventures in Hollywood, marriages that didn't take although the women were beauties, Jim is presently settled into a house on the hill in Missoula with Martha Elizabeth, his wife of 12 years (they were married the day after I turned 60, so I remember). Jim counts the days when she's out of town and he's left feeding the cats. When he was knocked out and hospitalized with a life-threatening affliction, hooked up to a breathing machine, Martha was shattered but brave and there constantly.
"The worst thing about being a writer," Crumley once said, "is that no one ever sees you work." People seem to think the 325-page novel manuscript must have been left on the doorstep by Santa or dropped down the chimney by a stork. How could a guy who is downtown so often, out and around, find the time for all that typing and invention?
Crumley, up in his house, deep in his nights (we imagine; who sees him work?), figures out his beginnings, where, when and who, then follows his characters and lets the story run. He listens to his people talk, not only what they say but how they say it, pays close attention to the voices of his characters, and the look of his own language on the page. It's work. He didn't come on that idiomatic and often eloquent prose style by accident. The other day I asked if he was going on a new novel. "The first line," he said. "That's enough for now." He's found another springboard. This can lead to a lot of pages in a hurry. In Mexico with friends, typewriter on a fireplace mantel, ignoring the run of constant parties, he hammered out the last third of One to Count Cadence. Decades ago, I heard him tell a writing class that novels, and idiosyncratic (crazed) people, are like topcoats, they have pockets where things and thoughts can be hidden, to be uncovered later (or not all). When a story is cooking in his imagination, he watches his characters dance through evasions and recognitions, lying and counter-lying, breaking down, breaking out, honoring both their worst and best impulses. Solving the mysteries (who did what?) is secondary to the mystery that these people might be, and the degree to which they're responsible for both brutalities and decencies. And, as we the readers explore that one, who we are? The degree to which we are responsible? And for what? How to live?
So there he is, Crumley in falling light, on a late summer afternoon across downtown Missoula, making his deliberate way into Charlie B's and the years of blue-collar, hippie tradition to be found there. He sits to another first can of Coors, surrounded by friends, listening to voices, remembering, at center in a version of Missoula where fairness counts. One he helps us patch together out of stories, his and ours.

From the WABI-TV5 & CW Forecast Center:
As high pressure slips off to our east a southerly breeze will develop here today and that will allow temps to rebound back to more seasonable levels as highs reach up into the 30s across most of Maine. Temps Saturday across Maine will likely be the mildest we have seen so far this month as highs reach the mid 30s to low 40s just ahead of a cold front. The approaching cold front will bring partly cloudy skies to Maine Saturday, with a few scattered snow showers possible across far northern parts of the state. Colder air will begin to filter back into Maine Saturday night as the cold front slides offshore and a northwest breeze develops here. Sunday will be bright and chilly as a bubble of arctic high pressure centered north of the Great Lakes region moves east and controls our weather.
The beginning of the workweek will be generally fair and cold, with a disturbance aloft later Monday or Tuesday likely bringing a few snow showers to the Northeast. A much stronger storm developing over the middle of the country early next week will likely bring some heavier snow or mixed precipitation to Maine next Wednesday or Thursday as it heads towards the East Coast.
Today: Mostly to partly sunny, with high temps in the low to mid 30s.
Saturday: Mixed sun and clouds and milder, with a few flurries north and high temps in the mid 30s to low 40s.
Sunday: Partly sunny and cooler, with high temps in the mid 20s to low 30s.
Monday: Variably cloudy, few snow showers possible and cold, with high temps in the 20s to near 30.
Tuesday: Variably cloudy and milder, with scattered snow and rain showers and high temps in the 30s to near 40.

Out of all the fruits that show up in the summer, my favorite is definitely peaches, and this Slow Cooker Low-Sugar Gluten-Free Peach Crisp from Kalyn's Kitchen is a delicious reduced-sugar dessert that disappeared quickly at my house. The recipe uses just a little of the sweetener of your choice combined with a tiny bit of brown sugar to bump up the natural sweetness of the peaches, and the crisp topping is also gluten free. This is great with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, but if you don't care about the whole low-sugar thing, top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Ingredients for this CrockPot Recipe:
- Peaches
- butter
- almond flour
- rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- Stevia-in-the-Raw granulated sweetener (or sweetener of your choice)
- brown sugar
- cinnamon
- freshly-ground nutmeg
- For serving: Fat-free Greek yogurt, whipped cream, or ice cream as desired.

I was talking to my mom last night, and like most other times the way she speaks confuses me at time. But in the end she notified me that my grandfather had... penis cancer???
here's a transcript of the convo:
me: how's your father? (the man doesnt know my name so i only call him granddad to his face)
mom: oh he has cancer.
me: OH NO! what kind?
mom: (says somthing in a wisper)
me: what?
mom: (says something that sounds like it begins with a "p")
me: pancreatic? prostate? pituitary gland?
mom: No! (back to wisper) on his pee wee.
me: huh?
mom: (lounder): oh his pee wee
me: are you trying to say on his penis?
mom: yes. its on his pee wee. he's having it removed.
me: HIS PENIS!!
mom: no the cancer!
i dont know if her information is correct. i wont get into the details of how he supposely found out about this the way she forced it on me. But holy crap!!

If such symptoms arise the probang must be withdrawn at once.
He covered a probang with the skin of a small eel, or the gut of a lamb or cat.
Should our efforts entirely fail, we must then endeavor to force the obstruction downward by means of the probang.
The probang is used when the former remedies are ineffectual.
The diagnosis is complete if, upon passing the probang (a flexible tube made for this purpose), an obstruction is encountered.
probang pro·bang (prō'bāng')
A long, slender, flexible rod having a tuft or sponge at the end, used chiefly to remove foreign bodies from or apply medication to the larynx or esophagus.

It is so hard to believe that our Lexi love is already a year old! We remember driving to Maine to get her. Her brother wants to know what happened to that cute little tiny puppy we got for him. Where does all the time go?
Now she is about 24 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds and still growing! She is a delight to be with and everyone loves her. We are getting her ready to take her CGC test and then to become a therapy dog. Who wouldn't love that puss? Although she is so big, she is ever so gently and spends a lot of time with my grandkids who are 5 and 2.
Thank you our precious girl for making our lives richer!
With much love, hugs and doggy kisses,
Mommy, Daddy and brother Jacky
And was it fun! Two of my old doggy friends where still in my class and what a joy to see them. Hugs and Kisses all around.
After this class, I get to join the Kennel Club and there is so much more to do I can't wait. They even have a breakfast for me and my Mom and Dad and a lot of seminars for them. Also, once I join, most of my classes are free. I hear my Mom and Dad want to to be a Therapy Dog, so I have to pass by Canine Good Citizen Test to to that and they show you how. You can go there everyday of the week if you want.
They have lots of things for us doggies to do! Just 5 more weeks to wait.
Hugz, Lexi
I don't know if this is good or not, but I weighed in at 75 pounds. My Mommy and Daddy where jumping for joy. They said I am going to be a big girl even though I am only 6 1/2 months old. I am already 24 inches at the withers ( what is a wither anyway?)
My daddy is 165 pounds and my mommy is 135 pounds.
I don't know how happy my brother Jackson is. I was just a wee thing when I came home and now I can jump leaps and pounds over him and hold my own when playing. I luv my brother Jackson though.
I just finished up my second puppy class. The first was Puppy K and the other one was Basic Manners 1. My next class starts 4/19 and is called Basic Manners 2. Then my human Mom and Dad want me to get my Canine Good Citizen and become a therapy dog. They also want me to learn agility and become a show dog. Now, how many more classes will that be?
I already miss my puppy classmates, but I play with the doggies on our street and go visiting the doggy stores and park.
Luv, Lexi

Target: Rutgers University President Robert Barchi
Goal: Praise Rutgers University for switching to cage-free eggs
Rutgers University recently became one of the largest colleges in the nation to change to cage-free eggs in its dining halls. Despite the additional costs they knew the transition would entail, students pressed the issue for nearly three years and were finally successful. Not only is Rutgers saving many hens from a life of torture, they are also serving as a positive influence for the thousands of students who attend, and for that they deserve our praise.
For several years, Rutgers students held meetings, signed petitions and engaged with officials to advocate their cause. The new eggs will cost all students at an additional $10 to $15 for their meal plans each year regardless of whether they eat the eggs or not. Despite the cost, university officials said, the students all agree that the costlier eggs are worth it because it is more humane than using eggs from chickens forced to spend their lives in cramped cages.
Constance Li, a member of the student group Rutgers United for the Welfare of Animals, made a statement saying, "There are a lot of things you can do with your life to help animals — volunteering or adopting a pet from a shelter. But not too many people are working on welfare for farm animals. They are the largest population of animals currently in need of help in the U.S." Cage-free eggs have become an important issue for university students across the country. Harvard, Princeton, the University of Florida, and nearly one hundred more campuses have recently gone cage-free because of pressure from students. Rutgers, however, will have a much greater impact on the movement because it has one of the largest dining operations in the country, purchasing more than one million eggs and 150,000 pounds of liquid eggs every year.
Please take a moment to sign the petition below and thank both Rutgers University and its students for keeping thousands of hens from suffering each year.
Dear President Barchi,
After several years of pressure from students, Rutgers University finally gave in and decided to make the transition to cage-free eggs in its dining facilities. This seems a pivotal step in the movement students seem to be pushing across the country, not only because of the size of Rutgers, but because it possesses one of the largest dining facilities in nation, making its impact on the lives of animals much more significant.
Thank you, to both your students and to Rutgers itself, for making such a large transition for the sake of the welfare of animals. I hope that your decision will serve as an influence to other universities across the nation.
[Your Name Here]

"Here's an easy, cheesy artichoke appetizer that I just love," says Kori Tuggle, marketing manager for Ocean Mist Farms, Castroville, California. "Our artichoke fields are a stop on Taste of Home's Slice of California tour. We look forward to showing the travelers how easy it is to cook and enjoy this thorny, odd-looking little vegetable!"
Recommended: 55 Snacks for Your March Madness Party
- 2 large artichokes
- 1 package (8 ounces) shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 can (5 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
- 1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro
- Using a sharp knife, level the bottom of each artichoke and cut 1 in. from the tops. Using kitchen scissors, snip off tips of outer leaves. Place artichokes in a large saucepan; add 1 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until leaves near the center pull out easily.
- Invert artichokes to drain for 10 minutes. With a grapefruit spoon, carefully remove the fuzzy centers and discard.
- In a small microwave-safe dish, combine the cheese, evaporated milk and chilies. Cover and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted, stirring twice. Stir in cilantro. Gently spread artichoke leaves apart; fill with cheese mixture. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings (2 cups sauce).

In the Mirror of Maya Deren
In the Mirror of Maya Deren
Martina Kudlacek, 2001
Fri, Jan 10, 2003 7 PM
Sat, Jan 11, 2003 7 PM
In the Mirror of Maya Deren skillfully explores the life and work of avant-garde high priestess Deren, perhaps best known for such films as Meshes of the Afternoon (1943). In the Mirror of Maya Deren explores the life of Russian born avant garde filmmaker Maya Deren. Altough best known for her experimental films, Maya Deren was equally groundbreaking in her research into dance, ritual, and ethnography, interests that were reflected both in her films and in her seminal book, Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti (1953).
This compelling documentary portrait reacquaints audiences with Deren's legacy through interviews with her friends and associates (including her ex-husband, Sasha Hammid), clips from her completed films, and extensive footage of voodoo rituals she shot in Haiti. With music by John Zorn. (103 mins.)

Taillights/Turn Signals
1 Attachment(s)
I have recently got my car back on the road and as an old guy, I guess I have just gotten used to blinkers and don't like not having them. I installed a Painless Wiring Harness so the wiring is there. I also installed an IDIDIT column that has the turn signals switch built into the column. The thing I don't have is a 3rd bulb in my taillights. They work fine for taillights and Brakes. Any ideas how I might add blinkers?
Thanks in advance. Picture of the back of my vehicle.
if you wire it up so that boththe brake and the blinkers have a diode inline with them you will be able to use the same bulb you will need 4 diodes for the rear one from each wire spliced inline with each blinker and each brake lamp going to the bulb.
I may be wrong, but you should have everything you need in the wiring harness, the way it is. Most cars, up until the late eighties only had two bulbs, or one dual filament bulb. The same filament is used for both brake and turn signals. For example, on a chevrolet, their is a wire that works the taillights, one that works the left turn/left brake and one for the right turn/right brake. You only need more bulbs if you want an amber turn signal, like the new cars have.
I agree with 66rat ... you just need double filiment bulbs instead of single filiment, and I think you'll be in business. Dual filiments have two contacts on the bottom instead of one ... maybe you'll also need different sockets for the bulbs???
54 Chevy Pickup
I run the same taillight that you do and they should take the 1157 bulbs. The housing ground to the body, assuming that the body is steel, then one of the wires is for running or taillights and the other is for brake/turn signals. The painless harness should have a separate wire for each. Just a couple of suggestions, if the inside of the housings are black, paint them white it makes for a brighter light, and use the 2257 bulb it interchanges with the 1157 and gives a brighter light also.

Behind the buzz and beyond the hype:
Our Nanowerk-exclusive feature articles
Subscribe to our Nanotechnology Spotlight feed
Surface energy is ubiquitous in nature and it plays an important role in many scientific areas such as for instance surface physics, biophysics, surface chemistry, or catalysis. Prior to the area of nanotechnology it has been impractical to consider utilizing surface energy as an energy source because there are few molecules or atoms involved in the surface interaction and the density of surface energy is low. Now, however, due to the lower power consumption requirements of nanoscale devices and the higher specific surface area for nanomaterials it appears attractive to use surface energy at the nanoscale. In new work, researchers have investigated how the flow of water over surfaces coated with graphene could generate small amounts of electricity.Posted: Jul 25th, 2011
Energy generation and storage is an important issue at the nanoscale. For tiny devices such as nano- and micro-electromechanical systems, autonomous power sources are crucial for practical applications. Progress is being made in designing and fabricating nanoscale power generators. But, as with the large, macroscale systems of future smart grids, there might be times when powered nanodevices need to bridge a slump in power generation/harvesting or they might be designed to run on stored energy altogether for a limited period of time. Researchers in China are now proposing that the high energy density and power density of carbon nanotubes makes them promising materials for the storage of mechanical energy. The team provides a structural model towards mechanical energy storage for nanodevices and also demonstrates a method to characterize and manipulate ultralong CNTs.Posted: Jul 11th, 2011
The efforts undertaken in developing renewable energy sources to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels include major research and investment in advanced electricity storage technologies. Among the various existing technologies, lithium batteries are considered as the most competitive power source because of their high energy density, superior power capability, design flexibility and longer lifespan. This article provides an overview of the current patent landscape of rechargeable Li-ion battery, with a focus on the recent developments on nanomaterials and nanotechnologies used for anode, cathode, and electrolyte materials, and the impact of nanomaterials on the performance of rechargeable lithium batteries. Effort has also been taken to identify key players, emerging trends and applications in this area.Posted: Jul 1st, 2011
Notwithstanding all the buzz about renewable energy sources, the dirty facts are that coal accounts for 41% of electricity production worldwide. Since, realistically, coal will be a mainstay of electricity generation for many years to come, research into more environmentally friendly use of coal energy is picking up steam. One technology for more efficient power production centers around the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Especially gasified carbon fuel cells offer great prospects for the most efficient utilization of a wide variety of carbonaceous solids fuels, including coal, biomass, and municipal solid waste. Researchers have now developed a self-cleaning technique that could allow solid oxide fuel cells to be powered directly by coal gas at operating temperatures as low as 750 degrees Celsius.Posted: Jun 28th, 2011
The efficiency of catalyzing the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) - the process that breaks the bonds of oxygen molecules - to a large degree determines the electrochemical performance of fuel cells. Platinum and platinum-based composites have long been considered as the most efficient ORR catalysts. In their search for practically viable non-precious metal ORR catalysts, researchers have also been investigating vertically-aligned nitrogen-containing carbon nanotubes. Having a strong electron-withdrawing ability, poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) was used to create net positive charge for carbon atoms in the nanotube carbon plane via intermolecular charge transfer. The resultant PDDA functionalized/adsorbed carbon nanotubes were demonstrated to act as metal-free catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells with similar performance as platinum catalysts.Posted: Mar 21st, 2011
Previous research has shown that high performance piezoelectric ceramics PZT (lead zirconate titanate) could be printed as nanoribbons onto biocompatible and flexible substrates for applications such as harvesting energy from human motion like walking or breathing. While some motions, such as walking, only require flexibility, others, such as breathing, require that the materials be not just flexible but also stretchable. However, the PZT ribbons cannot stand stretching operation modes due to their brittle nature, which leads to cracking. The research team therefore has been looking to overcome this difficulty by fashioning the piezoelectric ribbons into wavy shapes, and integrating them with stretchable silicone rubber, such that the composite material can withstand large amounts of elastic strain.Posted: Feb 18th, 2011
The particular physical properties that result from their unusual state of matter - they combine the properties of solids and fluids - make hydrogels ideal candidates for a number of applications. Nanoscale colloidally stable particles made from hydrogels are referred to as nanogels and these material systems have many general advantages, such as high transparency, high diffusion rates, high surface area, high dispersion stability, and monodispersity. Researchers in Japan have now proposed a novel photochemical application toward artificial photosynthesis using nanogels as nanogenerators, which evolve hydrogen gas from the internal water induced by irradiation with visible light. Actually, these nanogel systems generated hydrogen gas more efficiently than conventional solution systems.Posted: Feb 17th, 2011
Traditional anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, like graphite, have a fairly low storage capacity and release rate, so finding alternatives is key to making batteries that last longer and produce more power. Titanium dioxide is regarded as one of the ideal candidates for high-rate anode materials, owing not only to its structural characteristics and special surface activity, but also to its low cost, safety, and relatively low environmental impact. Researchers in Singapore have developed a facile system to fabricate sandwich-like carbon-supported stacked titanium dioxide nanosheets, in which carbon pillars create open channels for fast lithium ion diffusion and the ultrathin framework renders the storage of lithium almost exclusively on the surface. This work provides a new route to design the electrode materials for quick-charging lithium ion batteries.Posted: Jan 21st, 2011


text: Home > Mental health > Brain > News 30 January 2013 Ariel Sharon's brain scans show leaps in science of comas State-of-the-art brain scans show how advances in neuroscience are forcing a rethink of what it means to be in a long-term coma. 0 Ask CyberShrink » Talk Heart to heart forum » How brain injury affects you Transparent brains The state-of-the-art brain scans that allowed doctors to look inside the head of former Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon show how advances in neuroscience are forcing a rethink of what it means to be in a long-term coma. Neurologists who performed the tests said they hinted that Sharon, who has been in a coma since suffering a stroke in 2006, may have a degree of consciousness and be able to hear sounds or make out pictures. "It's encouraging to find these signs because it opens up the possibility of some meaningful communication," said Paul Matthews, a professor of neurology at Imperial College London. MRI progress changing views Until recently, he said, it had been assumed that many comatose patients diagnosed as being in a vegetative state had no meaningful awareness of their surroundings. Yet progress in the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that measures brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow - and in reading the signals they give has begun to change that view. Compared with other vegetative state patients who have had similar tests and been described in scientific papers, Sharon's responses were very faint, said Martin Monti, a cognitive psychologist from the University of California Los Angeles, who co-led the American-Israeli team that scanned Sharon's brain. There is little or no likelihood of a rapid recovery by Sharon, a former leader of the right-wing Likud party who suffered his stroke weeks after leaving Likud to found a centrist group to pursue peace with the Palestinians. But with more tests and research to devise a way for him to signal whether he is processing external information, it is possible that he, like others, could one day respond to questions about his state of mind and whether he is in pain. "If it turns out that these signals are more robust, then there's no doubt that we could use things like brain-computer interfaces (to communicate)," Monti said. Awareness detected The science behind such possibilities has made significant advances in recent years, allowing some patients previously thought to be completely unaware to show they are in fact conscious and able - with help - to communicate. A study published by Monti and colleagues in 2010 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) was among the first to show how fMRI scans allowed doctors to detect awareness and communicate with patients in a long-term coma. "The technology is still very new and we haven't by any means optimised this kind of work yet," said Steve Williams, of King's College London's centre for neuroimaging sciences. "But if you do see something, it must give so much hope. And if you can get robust and consistent activation of the brain ... then you can take it a lot further." The experiments use imagery tasks - such as asking a patient to imagine playing tennis or walking from room to room in their home. The fMRI scanner maps the distinctive activity of the brain when each task is performed. The patient is then asked to equate one of the imagery tasks to the answer "yes" and another to the answer "no", and apply them to simple yes-or-no questions. These tests "give us a lot of information about how we can contact these patients and stimulate them", said Alon Friedman, a neurological director at Israel's Soroka Medical Centre in Beersheba, who worked with Monti on Sharon's scans. Of the 54 patients described in the NEJM study, all diagnosed as being in a vegetative or minimally conscious state, five were able to "wilfully modulate their brain activity", the researchers said, and one was able to answer yes-or-no questions during the scan. EEG caps to aid communication In the 84-year-old Sharon's case, evidence that he was able to perform the imagery tasks "was there but was not as strong as we have seen in other patients", Monti said. "We're very cautious. There is a little evidence that he might have been doing some of the things we asked of him, but it was extremely weak and faint so it is difficult to interpret." If further tests on Sharon were to detect a more robust response, scientists say the next step would be to investigate ways to make communication easier. One possibility being explored in some vegetative state patients who show an ability to control brain processes is the use of electroencephalography (EEG) caps, which attach electrodes to the scalp and record electrical brain activity. Research published in 2011 showed that scientists using these devices were able to communicate with people who had been considered to be in a vegetative state for more than a year. Because the caps are mobile, they allow communication to be more frequent, since putting a patient into an fMRI scanner every time doctors want to ask a question is invasive, disruptive and expensive. "If you can put an EEG cap on somebody's head, and the computer is trained to recognise different brain states, that's like having a language," Monti said. "You could then imagine we could proceed from there."

Montreal-based PVC pipe producer Ipex Inc. recently became the second processor in North America to make oriented PVC pressure pipe for municipal water and sewer applications. Ipex had announced plans to make the pipe last year. Its Bionax OPVC pipe is 40% lighter than standard PVC pipe and almost twice as strong (7100 psi of Hydrostatic Design Basis vs. the usual 4000 psi), with three times the impact strength and better crack resistance, Ipex says. Flow rates are also higher because of larger IDs.
Ipex orients its Bionax pipes in-line using the latest technology licensed from Wavin BV in Dedemsvaart, the Netherlands, and equipment built by Rollepaal BV, also in Dedemsvaart (U.S. office in Glen Burnie, Md.). The process pulls hot pipe in the MD direction, then stretches it over a mandrel to increase TD diameter and hoop strength. Bionax pipe comes in 4 to 12 in. diam. and meets ASTM F1483 and AWWA C909 standards for pressure pipe, certified by NSF International, Ann Arbor, Mich. JM Eagle, headquartered in Los Angeles, is the only other North American producer of OPVC pipe in 6 to 16 in. OD.

Big Ten Network's Top Ten Quarterbacks of the 1980s
The college football offseason is too long. What helps the time go by? Sometimes, it's lists of things for us to complain about or fuss over.
Big Ten Network is where I'll be spending plenty of time until the college football season starts because they are putting together such lists and broadcasting old games.
Above is the list of the Top 10 Quarterbacks of the 1980s from a show which originally aired in 2009. Was Harbaugh a close second place? How about three Illinois QBs making the list?
What do you think about this list? Are you old enough to have seen these guys play in college? Did BTN miss anybody who should have been on the list? Remember, to make the list you had to play at least two seasons in the 1980s. Penn State had no one on the list because they weren't in the conference yet, according to the show's host. They might have changed the rules on that since then, see below.
Here is the list of the Big Ten Network's Top 10 Quarterbacks of the 2000s (2000-2009) from earlier today in case you missed it:

Celtic Cross Wisdom (w/stand)
Maureen W. Clifton
Thank you for visiting my Yessy Art Gallery! Please consider purchasing my art. Any Intuitive Fine Art &/or Medieval Arts Misty Isles items SOLD on Yessy will have a percentage of said Sale Donated to a Charity. Please see my BIO for details.
This is my 1st Intuitive Fine Art item in my 'I Am' Miniature Series. Item was recently in a local Art Show.
Creating this item took many hours, due to its complexity in design details & small size.
It is more than a 'Celtic Cross.' Within it is a colorful Floral Wreath to create a Circle of colors & a golden Square which I see as a path.
Circles, Spirals & Squares were used a great deal in ancient Celtic lore & design.
It has an inner cross with an X, which we know from the 'Indiana Jones' movies (stories), according to our dear Indy as he said, "X never marks the spot' – to which most all of us laughed.
Now, one can see the complexity of its details with the ideals of just as one walks 'Life's Path' with its many
crossroads, so too, are there many 'Spiritual Crossroads' during the life process. In order to navigate life with balance, it often requires the 'Wisdom to Know the Difference' in one's decisions at each Life Event Challenge!
Stand: 3.5 inch high Custom Painted in Metallic Lavender Easel. Item will display nicely, no matter where one
choses to place it: on a shelf, a mantle, one's desk or personal altar. (Note: The darker stand beneath the item was for an Art Show display & is not included with the item.)
Screen Size: 2.75 inch square, displayed on a diagonal.
Stitch Size: 10 stitches-per-inch.
Threads: Pearl Cotton & a great deal of Metallic embroidery threads.
Method: Needlepoint.
Crystal & Gemstone Beads: A single & lovely White Fresh Water Pearl graces the center & is for Wisdom! Four Rose Quartz beads are in each arm of the cross & are for Love!
Specialty Beads: Deep amber* faceted, pear shaped beads are in each corner with gold & amber colored glass beads on either side to define each point of 'Celtic Cross Wisdom.'
One may see this Fine Art piece as the colors of the Human Chakras & 'Aura Light' by which, humans have God's Good Graces & it keeps one ever on a Spiritual Life Path.
As one maintains balance & finds peace & love during life, often agreeing humans are all from God, our Creator & it is possible to live in harmony with all humans & with Nature. It is then humans grow upon a spiritual path.
Many colors of Nature are within this item's colors, as are its bead elements, including the colors of the Sky, Sun, Moon, Stars & Oceans.
*Note on Genuine Amber: Amber is a tree resin & hardens over centuries. It is one of the most ancient & coveted stones in the Nordic Isles, including Ireland, Scotland & Wales. I used glass instead of genuine Amber, as the cost of Amber Beads might have made this item too expensive for today's economy.
Thank you for visiting my Yessy Art Gallery. Learn of the Human Soul & what 'The Holy Grail' is in my Book, 'Insights Into the Soul!' It & other of my books can be purchased through AuthorsDen: www.AuthorsDen.com/MaureenWClifton.

Perused the various old threads on this. I would have posted on one of them, but they're all closed.
Have a Mossberg 590A1 18.5"bbl, Speedfeed stock. Shot ten rounds of 2 3/4, 00 buck last weekend and my shoulder hurt for days. (yeah, I'm a wuss:hand5:)
I'd like to keep the Speedfeed if possible. Thought about getting a side saddle, but the gun is heavy enough that I don't want to add even more weight to the receiver.
Anyone use the Limbsaver pads? Do they work?
If there are no good options this way, then what do y'all think of the Blackhawk Compstock? Don't want a pistol grip, so the Spec Ops is out. Thanks all.
