Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Welcome and thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you with your tax question.
You may take these caregiver expenses as deductible medical expenses if the following criteria is met:
To be deductible, a medical expense must be paid with after-tax, out-of-pocket dollars. The expense must also be for treatment of a medical issue, not just for maintaining good health. These expenses must be in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Of course, if the caregiver provides housekeeping, cooking or other such services, that portion is not deductible.
Publication 502 is clear in that it specifically states:
Qualified long-term care services are necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, curing, treating, mitigating, rehabilitative services, and maintenance and personal care services (defined later) that are:Required by a chronically ill individual, and
Provided pursuant to a plan of care prescribed by a li-censed health care practitioner.
Further, ANY licensed health care practitioner can certify that your wife meets either of the following descriptions.
She is unable to perform at least two activities of daily living without substantial assistance from an-other individual for at least 90 days, due to a loss of functional capacity. Activities of daily living are eating, toileting, transferring, bathing, dressing, and continence.
She requires substantial supervision to be protected from threats to health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment.
Based on the information contained in your question, it would seem the in-home care in your home is deductible as a medical expense.
Please let me know if you require further information or clarification.
Thank you and best regards,
Since I already have access to the IRS Publication 520 I was looking for something beyond a few statements taken from the IRS Publication. I was hoping to see actual examples of supporting documents to validate the tax deductions like letter submitted to the IRS by doctors description the medical conditions (cognitive impairment and the corresponding plan of care ).
to put it another way if i wanted a person to supply me a chair, I would need more than bare bone description of a chair but an actual picture of chair with a diagram showing details dimensions. Your answer was a bare bone IRS description lacking an actual example of a real letter from a doctor nor a real world plan of care ( the diagram showing details). To be fair the detailed answer would require more research on your part and in turn a higher level of compensation .... if you are able to supply the details and or examples I will be willing go up to $60, but as it stands now your answer falls short of what I was hoping to see.

Colleges: Time to Wise Up about Costs
American colleges are under serious financial stress. State spending on education is falling, donations are declining and endowments are way off their highs. Meanwhile, the cost of educating students at both public and private colleges is soaring. Part of the problem -- and solution -- is cyclical. As the economy picks up, so will state tax revenues, which will flow back to big state colleges. A rising stock market will also help restore both endowments and donations. But smart colleges would be wise to use this current financial crunch to institute the kinds of cost-saving, productivity-enhancing organizational changes now so widespread in Corporate America. A significant amount of money can be saved for better purposes: financial aid, maintaining modest class sizes, and curbing rising tuition.
Of course, the mission of higher education is to provide a social good, not generate profits. The U.S. can be proud of creating a college system with no equal in Europe or Asia, with some of the best training at the top end and the greatest access at the bottom. Yet there is no excuse for the failure to use the Internet more to shift learning from overcrowded lecure halls to individual rooms and library cubicles while customizing and enriching standard course material. There is no reason why law, medical, engineering, and liberal arts schools at a university should not combine their purchasing of computers and paper clips to save money. There is no explanation why colleges don't boost their productivity by increasing the use of classrooms and labs on weekends, at night or over the summer months.
These are simple steps. And just like some college courses, they are no-brainers.

"Some of my family members wanted me to stay close to home, too," Dawson said Wednesday night. "But it was Georgia. They had to realize that I had to be the one walking the campus – not them. It didn't take them long to understand that. It didn't take them long to come around."
It remains to be seen if Harvey-Clemons will have the same sort of luck with his family situation.
Josh Harvey-Clemons' day started with his declaration that he would play for Georgia on cable TV. It ended with what can best be described as a confusing family dispute over where the five-star linebacker will go to college.
Harvey-Clemons signed a letter-of-intent form binding him to play for the Bulldogs. But his grandfather, his legal guardian, did not sign the document. That means that while Harvey-Clemons wants to play for the Bulldogs he is unable to without his grandfather's signature.
"That sounds like a tough situation to be in," Georgia signee Greg Pyke admitted. "I know when I committed I was 100%."
But Pyke didn't do so for the entire world to see. Harvey-Clemons' situation is made even more confounding by the fact that he announced his commitment on cable TV Wednesday morning.
"I wish I was able to talk to him and tell him to keep it going," Dawson added. "I feel like I can understand what he's going through."
But Dodge County native Leonard Floyd sums up very well the difficult position Harvey-Clemons is in.
"They are going to have the upper hand because they are your parents," Floyd said. Floyd went on to say that he would find it hard to think of himself being in that position because his mother "would have my back."
"I just hope everything works out for him, and that he ends up as a Dawg at the end of the day," five-star offensive lineman John Theus said. "He's a great player and will be a great edition to our already great class."
Dawson agreed.
"We are going to win at Georgia," Dawson said. "And Josh is going to be a big part of that."

Ahoy, salty dawgs!
I am a Lady Pirate looking for adventure on the high seas and moving into my first boat on July 1st. Would love some tips for living aboard - plan to have a garden on the roof, transform the front "office" into a painting studio and have lots of BBQs and happy hours on deck.
Let me know if you have any tips for this former-land-lubber!
Also, I need to learn how to fish, if you live in Marina del Rey, let me know and we can cast off together.
Pirate of Pine Island
Ahoy me Lady, I be de Pirate of Pine Island wit some considerable experience living aboard and sailing. Iffin ye needs specific advise just ask. Growing things on a vessel is a part of de routine , wit de molds and such crustecheons and varmits ye be busy trying to kill whats growing as opposed to helping dem along. I be 3000 miles away on de east coast and would glagly take you up on yer offer . Please send Picture of Vessel cause I don'ts do blind dates. !! Fair Winds Pirate Of Pine Island.
Much oblige, matey!

Argh! Pirate o' de Pines! Photos o' the vessel are attached, as for meself, wouldn't want my beauty to blind you, so must refrain.
Specifically, would like advice on making a nice "outdoor living room" on the top deck - thinking a weather-proof wood deck and awning, perhaps a hammock, some bench seats and built in garden boxes for fruits/veggies/herbs/flowers and such. The space is roughly 25' by 13'. Any ideas?
Just out of curiousity
Are you talking about a boat, or a house that floats? If it's to remain at the dock, then there is much more that is possible. If you plan to go anywhere in it, then that needs to be taken into account. I'm assuming, from your description, and plans, that this is a houseboat, and not a sailboat.
1970 Uniflite - 36' and 2 Engines
The bloke selling the boat calls her a "Yacht Home," she looks like a houseboat from the waterline up, but the fiberglass hull is v-shaped like a fishing boat. She can cruise in calm to mild weather and I intend to explore the seas looking for booty and adventure!
Do you imagine I can still have a garden, or will a bit of salt spray kill it? I know there are certain flowering plants that live along the coast and can tolerate a bit of salt, but I am not sure about regular old plants.
Capt. Bligh seemed to have some success with his breadfruit plants . . . that is until his mutinous crew threw them overboard.
There are a number of things that will grow on a boat. Especially herbs. I would go easy on adding too much superstructure up top though, if you plan to go anywhere. From what I can visualize of your plans, it sounds like adding a lot of windage up there. Not particularly a good thing, even in a motor boat. You might try the Livingaboard.com forum for more info on plants.
A good way to grow plants is an on deck greenhouse. A pretty small one will handle a fair number of herbs.
Green House, eh?
Blimey, what a corker of an idea! A green house - but of course - a great solution - the herbs will love it and it will cut down on salty brine they may take on if I'm caught in a squal. You sure are smart, keep those brilliant ideas coming, old chap.
Glad to be of service. :D It was something I had read about... sounded workable, provided you setup the green house properly. The one in the article was setup primarily for herbs and fresh veggies... cabbage, carrots, basil, thyme, etc. If I can find the article, I'll e-mail what magazine it was in to you, as it had plans for building such said greenhouse. :D

Super cute! Love it!
From Sidewalk Stencils to Water Based Screen Printing
After a cross country search for something different than humidity, skeeters, gators, and kudzu, I landed in Los Angeles, found a job and a roach infested apartment. Whilst working this unfulfilling job, I began to take my art to the street. And the sidewalks.
I started spraying these stencils on American Apparel tees after many requests from friends, and so began my Press & Stitchery.
With the theft of my bike, my lovely little car, my naivety, and anything not bolted down, I decided to leave the city and head north. The money I saved in rent paid for my screen printing press and I took to printing full time. I started my Etsy shop, taking part time jobs until 2010. Now, I am fully sustained with Etsy orders and the many boutiques that carry my wares across the country.
Steering clear of sweatshops, I print American Apparel shirts with eco friendly water based ink using traditional methods to ensure fair wages for workers and comfort for you body and conscience. Over the years, I have listened to customers and now accommodate other brands and items, but I always strive for social responsibility in my offerings.
It's been a long and trying journey, but fulfilling throughout. I love running into strangers wearing my shirts. I love the people who come to craft fairs just for my booth. And I love supporting myself with art.

text: NEW ORLEANS, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy officials are making plans to restart Arkansas Nuclear One's Unit 2, a process anticipated to take several weeks. The unit has been offline since Sunday when it shut down automatically after a 550-ton generator stator fell as it was being moved out of the turbine building, a non-nuclear area of the plant. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/MM74349LOGO) The Unit 1 generator stator was being moved for replacement, and a new stator scheduled for installation is already staged at an offsite location. The move of the generator stator was associated with Unit 1 refueling outage, which began on March 24, 2013. "Ultimately, we are committed to restoring both units at ANO to full power operations," said Jeremy Browning, ANO site vice president. "We have augmented our team with both corporate staff and outside experts for the methodical process of inspection and assessment to ensure we fully understand what happened over the weekend, and that our restart is conducted safely." Further evaluation will be needed for Unit 1, Browning added, where damage evaluation, repair estimates and rescheduling the unit's refueling activities will take more time. Both units remain in a stable, shutdown condition. Unit 1 is receiving power from diesel generators, and work is under way to restore off-site power over the coming days. Unit 2 is receiving off-site power. The industrial accident resulted in the fatality of one worker and injuries to eight others, one of whom remains hospitalized. All were contract workers supporting Unit 1's refueling activities. There was no radiological release and no impact on public health and safety. "Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families of these individuals," said Browning. "In addition, counseling services are being provided to employees at the plant."

To save space in a script, you can use VBScript's colon (:) to join two lines of code. Using a colon tells Windows Script Host (WSH) to treat the code that follows as if it were a new line. For example, you can join these two lines of code
Dim strUrgent strUrgent = "This variable contains my urgent text string."
by inserting a colon between them:
Dim strUrgent : strUrgent = "This variable contains my urgent text string."
You aren't limited to using the colon to join variables with their declarations. You can use the colon to join any two lines of code. You just need to put a space before and after the colon.

Final Panels Approved, Denied, and DRAFT schedule
Posted 27 March 2013 - 08:41 AM
Also this is the DRAFT schedule, we are accepting requests to move, cancellations, etc. If you see any issues, conflicts, spelling mistakes, etc it is VERY important that you contact us ASAP and we'll get it fixed. This is the point where I start updating the schedule 20+ times a day. This means your panel may move slightly if I need to move another that is near it.
Everyone was scheduled within their requested time and room size except about 5 panels which are outside of their requested time by about half an hour. If you need to move we need a legitimate reason to move you, as you can see our schedule is extremely full this year. If you need to move and see a white space empty you can request that time, but again, only if you have a good reason to move.
And what you have all been waiting so patiently for... *drum roll* Here is the DRAFT schedule. Hit CTRL - F and type in your panel name to find your panel. A handful of names were altered slightly to fit in the schedule template so you may need to try key words in the name.
Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, we do not reply to private messages on the forums, most of Panel Management has them turned off. If we do reply it's not often, we want to make sure you all get your issues addressed so please send them to our email.

Just curious: for those who need to change times as well as those willing to change times, is it possible for us to mention which panels are willing to change times as well as our restrictions? Or if two people who would like to switch times agree to said time-switching?
Or is it assumed that all panels are willing to change times?
I'm sorry if this was worded poorly.

I'm sorry if this was worded poorly.
I believe you are requesting that two lists be created.
The first list being the list of panels (presenters) who are Open to having their own panel be moved (time/location) while noting any specific times/days which are not acceptable. IE: "Fake Forum Panel " currently on Saturday at 11am-12pm in FakeRoom can be moved to any day/time EXCEPT Friday 7pm-11:30PM.
The second list would be panels (presenters) who currently are schedule for a time which is NOT acceptable and are requesting to have their own panel moved (time/location). IE: "Almost Real Forum Panel" is currently scheduled for Sunday 1pm-2pm and is requesting to be changed as the presenter leaves at 10am Sunday. Any time Friday AFTER 1pm, and any time Saturday would be acceptable.
If these two panels (presenters) could contact each other to see if they could swap timeslot/locations and both parties agreed to doing so, would this be possible and who needs to be notified (and have both Lists updated along with the google docs schedule)?

What is the deadline to email you saying "hey, can I move my panel to blah blah time?" Since specifically for me, I am also running the Ghost in the Shell photoshoot, so I'm still waiting for that schedule to come out--since there is a chance it could be on Friday. I just want to get all scheduling sorted out. Also, if we do like the time our panels are (and I do, thank you so much), should we email you saying to keep it then (if possible) or just don't reply at all? If that makes sense. ^^;;;
Friday: General Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill!) (98% d/t touch ups and re-doing sword)
Saturday: Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell ARISE variant] (100%)
Sunday: Either Major Motoko Kusanagi from GITS S.A.C. 2nd GIG or Esdeath again. Help me decide D;

We have about 20 event rooms this year and have about 250 attendee panels atm. We will go well over 300 events this year, since last year we had around 200 attendee panels. In 2012 including main events, guests, attendee panels, everything considered Live Programming, we had 320 events We try to make sure there is something for everyone to enjoy.
And yes, we denied all unrelated panels ACen is an Anime, Manga, and Japanese Culture convention, our only exception is a -handful- of video game and web comic panels.
ALSO If you see any conflicts feel free to post about it, we've already been notified of a Lolita panel during the Lolita fashion show anything like that can be posted about. We try to spread things out, but sometimes 2 topics will be running at once.

Also please keep in mind what you put on your application for availability. As we scheduled against that, please do everything in your power to work within that time frame you originally requested. As Chelsea said, one change can involve 4-6 Panels being moved. We always try to accommodate as best as we can, but sometimes its just not possible due to the amount of shifting and other problems it may cause. We understand if you can't make it to the convention physically have classes etc.

Just a bit of information on how panel changes are working. Instead of moving one panel at a time, we are gathering a small list of those who request changes to see if they can swap with each other. This prevents us from moving panels that don't want to move So if you're waiting a day or two for a change to appear, it's because we're letting the list grow a little. It looks like the requests have slowed down a bit so we should be updating the schedule tonight or tomorrow with some changes. I should be able to post a list of who's moved as well.

I was just curious if it was okay for me, since my badge has been discounted, to "buy" the badge, or if that'd screw things up with adding another panelist.

Hello, I responded to your E-mail yesterday. We do most of these in big batches due to how the system works. Sorry it took about 2 weeks for us to get it all processed.
With that being said, everyone who submitted a Badge change request should now be processed. Quite a few are Panelist we are still waiting on responses for the correct information. We are building the schedule changes list and hopefully will have a new Draft schedule soon.

When I first opened my sample package and took a whiff, I had to close it back up as the bergamot aroma was really strong and something that I have developed an aversion to lately. So, I left the rolled up package in the cupboard for a couple weeks until I decided to take another try. This time the bergamot didn't hit me quite so strongly but perhaps it is because I knew not to sniff it too much.
Once brewed, the distinctive Laoshan black aroma was foremost (yay), and there is a hint of rose and very slight bergamot which isn't perfumy at all (yay again).
Taste is laoshan black with rose and a bit of the citrus/bergamot. Actually better than I thought and I'll finish my sample easily, but wouldn't repurchase as I still don't care for bergamot much.
Note: I tried re-steeping and forgot about it for about 15 minutes which was a mistake, as the result was so bitter and undrinkable.

You are absolutely correct. Legally speaking, any item you purchase whether it is a stick of gum or a $16K Italian motorcycle, it is sold with an implied warranty. This warranty guarantees that the item being purchased will perform in a manner which the product was designed to perform.
"A guarantee about the quality of goods or services purchased that is not written down or explicitly spoken. Virtually everything you buy comes with two implied warranties. One for "merchantability" and one for "fitness." The implied warranty of merchantability is an assurance that a new item will work for its specified purpose. The item doesn't have to work wonderfully, and if you use it for something it wasn't designed for, say trimming shrubs with an electric carving knife, the warranty doesn't apply. The implied warranty of fitness applies when you buy an item for a specific purpose. If you notified the seller of your specific needs, the item is guaranteed to meet them. For example, if you buy new tires for your bicycle after telling the store clerk that you plan to use them for mountain cycling and the tires puncture when you pass over a small rock, the tires don't conform to the warranty of fitness". http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/Term/37620E7D-4ABC-45AF-931A051512F50813/alpha/I/
So if the Ducati breaks down three times after the dealer tries to fix it, would that still be the Lemon law or the Tomato law?
to be fair to ducati, they are not hiding anything from their customers (which is what ro7939 pointed out) as far as i know but i would still get the rip off feeling if i paid 16 large for a product and then needed to pay more to make it operable. part of it is, it's hard for me to understand why a bike company with a good long history like ducati can't build a 16k bike that run well enough right off the bat and in legal specs required in certain areas. but as the old saying goes, to each their own because it's not my money and choice.
as i've said before, i have never heard of such thing until i ran into the 1098 owner i rode with. initially, i thought his bike was just a bad apple but he said all of the 1098 models required the termi pipes and a new ecu in order for it to run correctly (that kind of blew my mind because i've never heard of such thing before and especially for a bike model that starts at 16k).

With respect R'47, if you bought that TV and the government cut off 50 of the 100 available channels, wouldn't you pay a little extra to achieve full service?
This phrase captures it all:
"Think the old Monster but now more metro sexual..."
That's not the force that had me covet a Ducati Monster for fourteen years before I bought mine. Besides, the "metro Monster" has been done: the Aprilia Shiver and the Suzuki SV650. The original design of the Monster harkened to the idea of a Frankenbike. The new generation doesn't have the apparance that it would like being parked out in the rain. The new generation Monster would never be the vehicle of choice for a ghost.
The implied warranty is universal for any purchase in all 50 states.
The comment at the end about the lemon law, which has nothing to do with the implied warranty because the implied warranty is a warranty not a law, was dry humor or sarcasm. You know, Italian bike, tomatoes instead of lemons. If it were a German bike like BMW, Wiener Schnitzel law instead of lemon law.

Mumbai: Jacqueline Fernandez, the 26-year old sizzling beauty from Sri Lanka, is taking baby steps in choosing projects for herself. She has just three films in her kitty, and is making plans for a long career in Bollywood.
Ask her about her future plans, and she remarks that she is no hurry to choose projects. She wants to build a good career graph, for which it is important to think before signing any film. She does not want to do just any role that comes her way. Jacqueline, who fears getting stereotyped after doing films like 'Murder 2', wants to do a variety of roles to establish herself in the industry.
The actress, who is reportedly dating director Sajid Khan, is looking forward to 'Housefull 2', which will release soon. She is playing Bobby, among the four brides in the multi-starrer comedy flick. In reality though, she is not too keen to get married sooner, as she has just started her career.
Jacqueline will also be seen in films like 'Race 2' and 'Total Dhamaal'.

Thomas Pynchon, James McBride among National Book Award finalists
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A family saga set in India and America, a woman's entry into the art world in the mid-70s and a boy's battle against slavery are among the subjects covered in fiction works selected as finalists on Wednesday for the 2013 National Book Awards.
The National Book Foundation announced finalists for the awards, which are among the most prestigious in U.S. publishing, in four categories - fiction, non-fiction, young people's literature and poetry.
Winners, who will receive $10,000 and a bronze statue, will be named at an awards dinner on November 20 in New York.
Rachel Kushner was selected for her second novel, "The Flamethrowers," about an artist fascinated with motorcycles and speed. She will compete against Jhumpa Lahiri's tale of Indian brothers bound by tragedy in "The Lowland," and James McBride's "The Good Lord Bird," an exploration of identity and survival during slavery.
Thomas Pynchon, a previous winner of the National Book Award, was named a finalist in the same category for "Bleeding Edge," along with George Saunders for "Tenth of December."
"One of the things we have this year in fiction is a selection of stories with voices that are very different," said Harold Augenbraum, the executive director of the National Book Foundation.
"It seems like a very American list this year, more than in previous years," he added in an interview.
Historical works dominated the non-fiction category, which Augenbraum said did not include any memoirs this year. Continued...

Police officers burst into the National Museum in Cardiff on horseback yesterday - all in the name of art.
Unbeknown to shocked visitors, the two mounted officers, who deployed crowd control techniques in the museum's main hall were part of an art performance called Tatlin's Whisper #5.
The event was orchestrated by the Cuban artist Tania Bruguera who previously enacted the work at London's Tate Modern in 2008.
It forms part of her entry to the Artes Mundi 5 exhibition, a biennial £40,000 prize recognising artists "whose practice deals with social reality and the lived experience."
Since October Artes Mundi 5 has showcased the work of seven ground-breaking contemporary artists.
The winner of the prize will be announced at a special award ceremony taking place on 29 November 29 at the National Museum.
"It was important for me that my work was not permanently presented or hosted within the gallery space," the artist said. "My position as an artist is to work with real life, in this case I brought one section of real life into the Museum."
The other shortlisted artists for the Artes Mundi Prize 5 are Miriam Bäckström , Phil Collins , Sheela Gowda , Teresa Margolles , Darius Mikšys , and Apolonija Šušteršic .

The landlord does not accept the following in this place:
Are you set on coming to the lively metropolis of Barcelona for the next couple of months in order to carry on with your studies? If you're still looking around for an ideal place to settle into, then you can relax because this next place is certainly going to impress you. Located in the trendy El Poble-sec neighbourhood, close to public transport links and quite a few beautiful green areas such as Jardins de Joan Brossa, and within reach of ELISAVA Escuela Superior de Diseño e Ingeniería de Barcelona, this is certainly a great student accommodation!
The flat comprises of three bedrooms, a bathroom, an outstanding living room that will surely inspire you to relax, and a kitchen that comes well-equipped with all the modern amenities you'd wish to be able to cook all your favourite meals. The available bedrooms are both bright and attractive, coming neatly furnished and offering some great views of the city!
Find out more about this property's common areas in our photo gallery.
You will be sharing this property with the landlady.
She is over 40 years old. Currently she is a professional worker.
Family also lives in the property. The landlady has pets.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
This is one of our most trusted properties. It has fulfilled all of our verification criteria and earned the Uniplaces Verified badge. We only award this badge to the properties and landlords who we trust the most.

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, Priming the oil pump in Cadillac Engine Discussion; Well the head gasket job from HELL is coming to an end (I hope), I'll give you the short version ...

Priming the oil pump
Well the head gasket job from HELL is coming to an end (I hope), I'll give you the short version of my story,
in June of 08 I bought a beautiful 99 DeVille with 125k miles on it I put 5000 miles on it between June and October, everything was great, then about 3 weeks before Halloween I was heading to home depot to get decorations and my car over heated, so I went through the motions replacing the thermostat, water pump, radiator etc. ended up taking it to the dealer and they said it was the head gaskets I loved the car way to much to get rid of it, so I began ponying up funds to do the job myself.
Pulled the motor for the first time in November of 08 got the gaskets replaced put the motor back in started the car and oil began dumping out of the half case (to this day I have NO idea why)
Pulled the motor back out and sealed the half case (again) put the motor back in hit the key KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK, no oil pressure.
Dropped the cradle out again found out that a small (like microscopic almost) pebble had got in the oil pump and scored the pump "housing" also 1 of the T chain tensioner s had gone out, so I replaced that as well as my TCC.
Now the motor is back in again and is pretty much ready to start, all I need to do is hook the exhaust up AND.... *prime the oil pump* now I know that you either need to pack the oil pump or double fill the oil and run the car for a few seconds, now I'm wondering if I can just manually turn the crank a few times to prime the pump, or maybe just crank the motor (without the plug wires hooked up) I'm just trying to find the most risk free way to do this because as you can see I have had ALOT of problems with this car.
Sorry for the long post guys but thank you for all the help and patience you have givin me
Re: Priming the oil pump
im not quite sure about this but I think you just pull the plug supplying power to the ignition module try to start the car(it wont start) and let the engine turn over a few times. don't take my word for wait on a second opinion.
Re: Priming the oil pump
Put 11 quarts of oil in the crankcase, check everything, and start the car. DO NOT rev it up. As soon as the oil light goes out or your oil pressure gauge reads Normal or 40+ pounds, shut down and drain the oil to the proper 7.5 quart level: halfway up the dipstick hashmark. Now start up and check everything again and try to go for a half hour drive on flat roads at a steady speed of 45 -50. Come home, shut down, let the engine cool, check everything including coolant and oil level. Later, check the transmission fluid level with the engine running in P because there will be NO fluid on the dipstick with the engine off: the transmission is a dry sump unit.

Re: Priming the oil pump
I've always packed my oil pumps with petroleum jelly to prime them. Works like a charm every time.
Re: Priming the oil pump
The problem arises with the Northstar oil pump: it's a gerotor style, not positive displacement meshed gear style, so it requires a liquid filled suction tube as the pump will not pick up oil if dry. The pump is above the oil level in the pan, not submerged like most, so the pickup tube has a ball check valve in it to prevent the pump's losing prime. The oil overfill is the cure for a Northstar which has lost prime due to a dirt chip under the check valve - the overfill floods the pump, the oil flows, removes the chip, and you then drain down to normal level.
Re: Priming the oil pump
I'm not sure if 11 qts is enough. The Guru always said 16.

Re: Priming the oil pump
I filled my new pump with oil and worked it around before I installed it. When I went to start the car I used a hand pump in a jug of oil and pumped it into the oil cooler lines. I also filled the oil filter up all the way before installation. I pumped about 3 quarts into the cooler line then gave up cause i was making a mess. It worked great tho.
I have a push button start on the car so I didn't even put the key in and turned it over for 30 sec. x2 then started it up and let it run while I watched the cam through the oil fill to see if it had oil spewing off of the lifter. (I have no oil press. light in the monte the N* is in)
Re: Priming the oil pump
Well I ended up having to stay late at work today so I didnt get to work on the caddy, but I have tomarrow off so hopefully I will get to start it then...
I'll report back after the car runs.
Re: Priming the oil pump
I always fill the pump with some GM EOS and spin the pump by hand before installing it. I've never had a problem with the pumps picking up the oil. I have run across it a couple of times where an air pocket will remain in the oil system for a split second and the oil light will flash once or twice. As for the oil pumps themselves, they're a very good design and hardly ever wear out. I don't even recommend replacing them unless there's been some sort of wear occuring in the engine. Take it apart, there's not much to wear out. No scratches? Re-assemble and re-install. The oil pumps flow oil like mad. A few seconds of cranking and most of the system will have oil. If you have the oil cooler, it would be a good idea to fill the cooler lines with oil or push oil through the system prior to cranking. Most Devilles don't have the cooler. The only 99 and older Deville I've seen with the cooler was a Concours and it's still sitting in my parking area waiting for the owner to come pick it up.
Chacen I'm glad you found the problem for the oil pressure issue.
Re: Priming the oil pump
I put in 7 1/2 quarts oil. I never removed my oil pump or crank to idler/intermediate gear chain - I saw no reason to do either. I did nothing to prime the oil system, except what the manual said, which was to disconnect the ignition module pugs and crank the engine for the prescribed time. I saw the oil light turn off, and good oil pressure, very quickly, except apparently to the lifters, which clattered slightly for around 5 minutes. I did use some assembly lube on the cams and lifters, even though the manual says there is no need to use anything but engine oil, even there.
Re: Priming the oil pump
Judicious use of assembly lube on cam lobes, lifters, chains, slippers and wrist pins is the mark of a careful engine builder. Maybe not entirely necessary, but nevertheless it's extra insurance during that initial 30-50 revolutions during which the new engine fills with pressurized oil. Peace of mind.
Re: Priming the oil pump
Oh...yeah - you just reminded me - I also used that lube on the cam drive chain tensioners and guides - I had forgotten about that.
Re: Priming the oil pump
You build stuff ----- Google "alpha molykote".
I still have an olive drab can of molybdenum disulfide (micro-powder) high pressure lubricant from my old diesel sub days - the torpedomen used it in Mk.14 steam torpedo turbine maintenance. Very slick stuff. I mix a half-teaspoon with 6 ounces of 40W marine diesel lube oil and use it for assembly lube.
Re: Priming the oil pump
Okay guys so I had a chance to start my caddy today!
I put 16 qts of oil in, started the car and it took about 30 seconds for the oil pressure light to go off (it was the longest 30 seconds of my life) I then turned the car off and drained the oil out until I got it to half way up the dipstick.
All seems to be well and Im planning on taking the car on a 100 mile trip on thanks giving to go see my girlfriends family but between now and then I will be driving the crap out of the car to make sure everything is going to hold up.
One question, why does the timing case require a gasket? I mean the oil pump sits at the bottom of the T-case but the oil pump sits ABOVE oil level so it would be my understanding that there is no standing oil in the T-case, also how do the timing chains get lubrication?

Knocking on wood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Touch wood)
|This article needs additional or better citations for verification. (March 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Look up knock on wood or touch wood in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Knocking on wood - in Britain and Australia the phrase is touch wood - is an apotropaic tradition of literally touching, tapping, or knocking on wood, or merely stating that one is doing or intend to do so, in order to avoid "tempting fate" after making a favourable observation, a boast, or declaration concerning one's own death or other unfavorable situation beyond one's control.
The origin of the custom may be in Germanic folklore, wherein supernatural beings are thought to live in trees, and can be invoked for protection.[1][2]
Similar traditions in other cultures[edit]
- In Indonesia, when someone is saying bad things, the one that hears it would knock on wood (or anything) and knock their forehead saying "amit-amit".
- In Malaysia, when someone is saying bad things, the one that hears it would knock on wood (or anything) and knock their forehead saying "choi".
- In Italy, "tocca ferro" (touch iron) is used, especially after seeing an undertaker or something related to death.[unreliable source?][3]
- In Iran, "Bezanam be Tachte بزنم به تخته" (knock on wood), when one says something good about something or somebody, he/she will knock on the wood, saying "bezan-am be takhteh, cheshm nakhoreh" ([I] am knocking on the wood, to prevent -it, he, or she- from being jinxed). Evil eye, and being jinxed is a common phobia and superstitious belief in Iranian culture. Iranians traditionally believe knocking on the wood wards off evil spirits.
- In Egypt, "Emsek El Khashab إمسك الخشب" (Hold the wood), people say it when mention good luck that you have had in the past or when you mention hopes you have for the future. The expression is usually used in the hope that a good thing will continue to occur after it has been acknowledged. And to prevent Envy
- In old English folklore, "knocking on wood" also referred to when people spoke of secrets – they went into the isolated woods to talk privately and "knocked" on the trees when they were talking to hide their communication from evil spirits who would be unable to hear when they knocked.[citation needed] Another version holds that the act of knocking was to perk up the spirits to make them work in the requester's favor.[4] Yet another version holds that a sect of Monks who wore large wooden crosses around their necks would tap or "knock" on them to ward away evil.
- In Romania, there is also a superstition that one can avoid bad things aforementioned by literally knocking on wood ("a bate în lemn"). Wood tables are exempted. One of the possible reasons could be that there is a monastery practice to call people to pray by playing / knocking the simantron.[5]
- In Bulgaria the superstition of "knock on wood" (чукам на дърво) is reserved for protection against the evil, and is not typically used for attracting good luck. Usually people engage in the practice in reaction to bad news, actual or merely imagined. In most cases the nearest wooden object is used (in some areas, however, tables are exempt); if there are no such objects within immediate reach, a common tongue-in-cheek practice is to knock on one's head. Knocking on wood is often followed by lightly pulling one's earlobe with the same hand. Common phrases to accompany the ritual are "God guard us" (Бог да ни пази) and "May the Devil not hear" (Да не чуе Дяволът).
- In Croatia and Serbia there is also the habit of knocking on wood when saying something positive or affirmative about someone or something and not wanting that to change. Frequently the movement of knocking on nearby wood is followed by "Da pokucam u drvo" (да куцнем у дрво) (I will knock on wood), or sometimes by "Da ne ureknem" (да не урекнем) (I don't want to jinx it).[6]
- In Poland, as well as in Russia, there is a habit of knocking on (unpainted) wood (which may be preceded by saying odpukać w niemalowane drewno or simply odpukać, literally meaning to knock on unpainted wood) when saying something negative - to prevent it from happening - or, more rarely, something positive - in order not to "spoil it". In Czech Republic, this is often accompanied for stronger effect by knocking on one's teeth, a piece of building stone, or metal, reasoning that these (as opposed to wood) survive even fire.
- In Turkey, when someone hears about a bad experience someone else had, he/she may gently pull one earlobe, and knock on a wood twice, which means "God save me from that thing."
- In the United States in the eighteenth century, men used to knock on the wood stock of their muzzle-loading rifles to settle the black powder charge, ensuring the weapon would fire cleanly.
- In Spain "tocar madera" (literally: to touch wood) is something that you say when you want your luck or a good situation to continue. Ha ido bien toda la semana y, toco madera, seguirá bien el fin de semana. (It's been fine all week and, touch wood, it'll stay fine for the weekend).
- In Brazil, "bater na madeira" is something actually done phisically, three knocks are required after giving an example of a bad thing eventually happening. No verbalization is required, just the three knocks on the closest piece or object of wood. In the absence of wood, someone can say "bate na madeira", to prevent the bad thing to happen. People doesn't actually believe knocking threee times a piece of wood will really protect them, but it is a social habit and it is polite to do so to demonstrate that ones doesn't want that bad thing they are talking about to actually happen.
- In Greece the saying "χτύπα ξύλο" (literally: Knock wood) is said when hearing someone say something negative in order to prevent it from happening.
- In Lebanon the saying "دقّ عالخشب" (literally: Knock on the wood) is said when hearing someone say something negative in order to prevent it from happening. It is also largely observed when saying something positive or affirmative about someone or something and not wanting that to change.
- In Palestine the saying "دقّ عالخشب" (literally: Knock on the wood) is said when someone mention good things happening to himself or someone else, or even when mention a valuable things he owns this expression is a superstition that is used in the hope that a good thing will continue to occur even after its mentioned. as a way to prevent Envy (Hasad "حسد") as Known as Evil Eye (Ain "عين") as they believe that Envy can harm other people.

- ^ Touch Wood for Luck: The History & Superstition of 'Touch Wood'. One explanation states that the tradition derived from the Pagans who thought that trees were the homes of fairies, spirits, dryads and many other mystical creatures. In these instances, people might knock or touch wood to request good luck, or to distract spirits with evil intentions. When in need of a favour or some good luck, one politely mentioned this wish to a tree and then touched the bark, representing the first "knock." The second "knock" was to say "thank you." The knocking was also supposed to prevent evil spirits from hearing your speech and as such stop them from interfering. Alternatively, some traditions have it that by knocking upon wood, you would awaken and release the benevolent wood fairies that dwelt there.

Excellent Post, I am just starting out on Twitter and am really interested on how to network and build my business via twitter
Jun 2 Posted 6 years ago
This is a very well and detailed post. I didn't have those tips in mind when I started Twitter but I've somehow already followed them!
I recall when I started Twitter, I really knew what I wanted to get out of it: NETWORK! I'm also very fascinated with social media and where it's going and because of those interests I've found Twitter to be very useful in educating myself and sharing USEFUL information.
Jun 2 Posted 6 years ago
Twitter is one of the best networking tools.I am personally using to sale products and i am having some success.
Jun 1 Posted 6 years ago
I see your point. I had not considered professional networking as not necessariy including more commercial objectives. Although in my humble opinion if the networking doesn't come first, the commercial objectives are somewhat unlikely to follow. But in any case, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. :-)
Jun 1 Posted 6 years ago
While Twitter is accessible by individuals, it's most powerful application is at the business level. It provides a single platform for marketing and communication for small and large companies, and that may be it's greatest service - equal access for all firms. A small eatery may not be able to advertise their services or specials via a TV commercial but they can does so over Twitter. Likewise a large corporation can broadcast news or statistics while providing links to their home page. A short-sighted person sees Twitter as the PR platform for egomaniacss rather than a common, accessible, FREE communication channel. It's less social, more business.
Jun 1 Posted 6 years ago
What an utter pile of prescriptive nonsense. Twitter, like the rest of the internet, is a medium in which people can express their individuality. They do not need 'rules' from some bloke who reckons he knows what its all about - the arrogance is amazing. For instance, I plan to subvert it - ultimately, transform it, even if that involves destruction. Don't any of you people remember the punk ethic: DESTROY
May 31 Posted 6 years ago
Twitter is short, sweet and to the point. in this busy world we live in today it is nice to send tips, and short messages to one another. Twitter can be helpful in so many ways. It can also be a great way to even brainstorm and and flow ideas to others. You're right it's a great way to conversate and get close to others.
May 31 Posted 6 years ago
This a wonderful detailed, yet simple list on the Twitter 101. THANK YOU for pointing out that if you want to network your profile should be on PUBLIC and not protected - I don't understand people with a career whom protect their tweets, have 50 followers and in their bio are described as 'networkers' - there's a lot of networking being done via a protected account. Sense the sarcasm? Anyway, great post :D
May 31 Posted 6 years ago
Thanks for the comments - I particularly appreciate the "social media is whatever you want it to be" comment. I absolutely agree and only hope that in following that apoproach most people are thoughtful about what they say and do on all social platforms.
May 31 Posted 6 years ago
I would also add:
Your picture represents you. If you want to use Twitter professionally, use a professional picture - leave the go-go boots and cleavage out.
Find hashtags in your area of interest. These show you more people you might want to follow and are often associated with interesting scheduled chats.
May 30 Posted 6 years ago
Very good list Mike.
Also, customize your background instead of using the standard ones. upload your own image and use the left side for additional information. Try to stay consistent with your website is applicable.
I like to use the last couple lines of my bio to mention my last current news item.
May 30 Posted 6 years ago
"think seriously about protecting your tweets so that only people you know and trust can see them!" - well, I would add that peeps need to consider all tweets as being in the public domain - it's *not* private and secret, and each tweeter is responsible for their tweets, whether or not their account is locked
May 30 Posted 6 years ago
Nice article with important guidlines especially for biz people. I use twitter differently than some of the ways mentioned, and I don't necessarily recommend people do what I do, I follow a lot of people, find people who are not in my circle. I want to get the quirky opinions, the new ideas and connections to things outside of my world. I follow a lot of political and newsie people because it's just incredibly fun for me and also, as a biz person, I need to know what is going on in politics. I like the Red Eye crowd. The beauty of it is, social media is whatever you want it to be...
May 30 Posted 6 years ago
Shouldn't there be a C option directed at businesses, with a more commercial objective - building company-client relationships? I see that as something different from Professional Networking, so that some people can promote/represent a company in their name while others can focus on and build their personal brand either for strictly professional or academic purposes, which would fall under B. Just my point of view but otherwise good article!
