Rear Shock Mount DIY
Before we begin I would like to say a couple things...
(1) DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN ANYTHING...you know who you are...:thumbup:
(2) This was done on a 1995 ///M3. Different cars MAY vary...:dunno:
(3) This is my 1st DIY so if I misspelled anything let me know
(4) This is how Me and my colleagues do this job...If you know a different way please share.
Glad that's out of the way! Lets begin!:D
Step 1: Preparation!
Before you can actually do anything you must get to the shock mounts. They are underneath the carpet in the trunk. First off you need to remove the two rear speakers. If they are stuck and don't come out or even seem to be coming out, chances are your shocks are in the speakers...mine were:tsk:. In this case you have to lift the back end of the car just enough to get the rear tires off the ground. This makes the shocks go down and out of your speakers. After removing the speakers remove all the carpet on the LEFT SIDE and just get the RIGHT SIDE out of the way for you cannot remove it completely because of that gas door cable thing. Make sure you have the proper tools and proper equipment and you may now start working.
Step 2: Raise the car and remove the rear tires. Simple enough.
Step 3: Loosen the 2 side nuts on the shock mounts. Don't remove just yet...just loosen. Also keep the middle one on to hold the shock mount in place.
Step 4: Remove the bottom bolt that holds the shock in place. You need an Impact Wrench.
Step 5: Once you have the bottom bolt removed you may go back and remove the top 2 side nuts we loosened earlier. After that go ahead and pull out the WHOLE shock completely.
Step 6: Remove the old shock mount by removing the middle nut with an impact wrench and install the new one. They should slide off and on.
Step 7: Install just the middle nut to hold the new mount in place. DON'T OVER TIGHTEN!
Step 8: Reinstall the shock. Align the shock mount through the holes and LOOSELY reinstall the nuts. You still need to put the bottom shock bolt on. After that go ahead and finally tighten everything.
Step 9: Make sure everything is secure. Reinstall the wheel and torque to recommended settings. After you reinstall the wheel SLOWLY lower the car and double check EVERYTHING. Make sure all the nuts and bolts are tightened and that the shock mounts are secure and that everything is 1000% safe.
Step 10: Clean up.
Congratulations! You have successfully changed your shock mounts! :thumbup:
Thanks for reading!:thumbup:
Nice write up, and FINALLY!!!
If any of you guys order some turner bushings, you might have to do one minor adjustment... If anyone is interested, let us know :thumbup:
Nice! :thumbup:
MUCH easier than doing the front shocks. :mad:
When I finally get my new ones from Koni I'll take a few pics and do a write-up on the install of the front. Since I didnt take any pics on the removal, you'll just have to use common sense and do everything backwards to get the old ones out.
Great writeup!
What happens if you overtighten the shock nut? I get a squeaking noise from mine, can that be it?
It implodes, creating a vacuum that folds into itself sucking everything you have in your boot (trunk) into another dimension
Hey man! That's a serious matter! Don't be taking it too lightly...it happened to one of my colleagues!
lol :)
I need to replace tires and rear shocks + mount. After RS+M replacement, I understand a wheel alignment is done. Should I replace tires at the same time or can I wait until after? Does it matter?
I've never had to pull the shock out to install the mount, but otherwise, good writeup.
Nice write-up, much appreciated, but use some jack stands next time. Having only floor jack(s) holding up the car while working under it is asking for disaster, even if it's 'just' removing/replacing the shocks. You can't instantly move at 32 fps squared. The car WILL if that jack moves/slips/collapses. :yikes:
I need to replace tires and rear shocks + mount. After RS+M replacement, I understand a wheel alignment is done. Should I replace tires at the same time or can I wait until after? Does it matter?
It does matter, its a good idea to keep your car in alignment, so typically after taking suspension components like the shocks/struts/coils or whatever you are using off its a good idea to get it back in the proper alignment. It would be to your advantage if you could replace the RSM's and the tires at the same time followed by an alignment.
Bought new tires at NTB price-matched by Tire-rack and bought their alignment option. That wasn't a good idea! They only did the front, and said they dont have the BMW equipment to do the rear. Definitely writing them a letter.
At least you can rest well tonight knowing it is not only you who has been "had" by one of these chain companies.
I went with "wheel works" and actually had been going with wheel works for years, at least for my rubber. When I got my BMW they told me this and that and I ended up with a gargantuan bill (there are threads related >< ).
I plan to go to a better than "reputable" shop next time. Someone, and I'm venturing out on a branch by saying this, but it may have been Phillip, told me something very true of these shops; most of the mechanics there are there on their first jobs, and just learning how to do stuff themselves, once they can actually perform tasks at a better than "OK" level they move on; the level of service your car see's at most of these places is pathetic.
I found out after the fact, but won't let it happen again.
Edit: sorry if that was more like a rant... I remembered that the reason I so vehemently wrote all the above in response was that in the end, they told me they could not properly align my car and that it had in fact become worse when they were trying.
This is slightly off topic, but it deals with alignment issues after changing shocks.
I put the Bilstein/H&R combo on, got new Bridgestone Potenaz RE960AS tires (greatest tire I've ever owned, by the way) and went to get the car aligned. Three different places told me that they couldn't align it. NTB told me they couldn't do the back even if they wanted to. Then after doing some research here I found out that most places that were trying to align my car would have done it wrong anyway. There is a certain amount of negative camber needed on the front (something like -2.1), so I took it back and had it aligned to those specs - even though they thought I was an idiot.
Car runs fantastic.
Sounds too easy! Thanks yo!
Jim you are absolutely right, there is a GREAT thread in this forum about our cars feet; tires/rims, camber/toe, proper inflation, etc etc. I will see if I can't find it...
I remember in that thread it mentioned specs to have your e36 aligned for better control and wear from factory settings. I just found out after the fact :(
you dont need an impact wrench on that bottom shock bolt if was torqued properly, at least i didnt need to use one on mine, a breaker bar usually works if you dont have the heavy stuff
True, although an impact wrench would no doubt make things easier, especially after that bolt has picked up so much road grime over time as well.
I never torqued anything...and I guess a breaker bar could work...we were just fortunate enough to have a impact lying around...
OMG... Randy surfaces from the depths!!!
Im actually in Egypt and didnt have internet access till now...
but yeah im still alive......i think:eek:
NO Sh1T!!!!!!!!!!
thats awesome, you better be taking bad ass pictures and bring 'em back for me! Always been very intrigued with Egypt :)

Emerging Leaders
Anna Morales-Caraballo, BSN, RN
DNP Student
Temple University
Anticipated Graduation Date:
May 2016
Current Position:
RN at Temple Hospital
"I decided to enroll in the DNP to better serve my community. I am a bilingual nurse, and I see the much needed service of a bilingual NP. I feel that obtaining my degree will enhance my opportunity to better serve the community and help improve their health care needs, while offering patients a sense of comfort and trust.
My experience of this program has provided me the opportunity to serve the public, by allowing me to select clinical sites that I feel can help enhance my skills, while at the same time providing care to the underserved population.
My plans after completing this program are to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to develop a diabetic program and possible center for the Hispanic population. I would love to see a center that provides language specific education, an in-house endocrinologist, nutritionist, counseling, and maybe a kitchen to teach them how to prepare healthier meals which may include some of their traditional foods."
Ms. Morales-Caraballo was nominated for this spotlight by one of her fellow student colleagues at Temple University, Beth Chalick-Kaplan.

Detailed Description:
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a well established method for treatment of cutaneous malignancies. Part of this technique requires marking skin surrounding the tumor. There are two ways of marking the tissue, lightly scoring it with a scalpel or marking it with a surgical marker.
This study is to determine if there is a noticeable difference in outcome between patients who have their tissue lightly scored with a scalpel or marked with a surgical marking pen.
|Skin Cancer
|Device: Scalpel for tissue scoring Device: Surgical marker for tissue marking

Further study details as provided by University of California, Davis:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- The goal of the study is to determine if there are any noticeable differences in outcomes between patients who have their skin scored and those who have their skin marked with a surgical marking pen [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
|Study Start Date:
|July 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|July 2008
|Primary Completion Date:
|July 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|No Intervention: 1
Device: Scalpel for tissue scoring
During Mohs surgery we will compare the outcomes of scarring, to determine whether a mark (with a pen) or a score with a scalpel will receive the best scar.Device: Surgical marker for tissue marking
You will be asked to participate, examined, discuss participation have procedure and come in for follow up for photos and check up.
Detailed Description:
Mohs Micrographic Surgery is a well established method utilizing microscopic margin controlled excision for treatment of cutaneous malignancies (See Appendix A). It has the highest cure rate of any of the methods used to treat common cutaneous malignancies and is a proven safe outpatient procedure. Part of the technique requires marking skin surrounding the tumor to correspond with tissue that has been removed and divided into pieces for processing and microscopic examination. Currently there are two established ways of marking the tissue; lightly scoring it with a scalpel or marking it with a surgical marker. Scoring tissue is faster, more accurate, and there is no risk of having the marking washed or rubbed away.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 65 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are able to legally consent to study and are scheduled for Mohs Micrographic Surgery to remove their malignancies
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are unable to legally consent themselves, do not wish to participate or who are not scheduled to undergo Mohs Micrographic Surgery.
- Children, those with mental handicaps, pregnant women, prisoners, those with cognitive impairments, and life-threatening diseases will be excluded.

There is nothing more painful than the birth of a �new idea�; the creation of the MFGB in 1889 was no exception to this rule.
The miners had by now witnessed the election of the first ever working-man town councillor. John Normansell, General Secretary of the Yorkshire Miners. In 1874, they had finally secured representation in Parliament, with the electoral victories of the Liberal Alexander McDonald, President of the Miners� National Union, and Thomas Burt representing �radical labour� from the North East.
Yet, despite these advances, there was a reluctance on the part of the District Unions to come together in a formalised way.
Six national conferences were held during 1889 until finally, in the Temperance Hall, Newport, South Wales, the Miners� Federation of Great Britain was born. It is worthy of note that among the delegates from Scotland at the inaugural conference was one James Kier Hardie.
Within a year, this new national, federated organisation had won a 30 per cent increase for its members, and established itself also as a major force in the labour movement. Recruits began to flock in, and by 1890, when the MFGB joined the Trades Union Congress, its membership numbered over 250,000.
This new Federation brought together a splendid array of talent which included Ben Pickard of the Yorkshire Miners� Association who became the MFGB�s first President and Thomas Ashton of the Lancashire Miners� Federation who became the MFGB�s first National Secretary.
The MFGB did not, however, cover all the coalfields. South Wales, Durham and Northumberland - where district associations were still bound by the deadly �sliding scale� agreements which linked wages to coal prices - remained outside the new organisation. Indeed, the MFGB�s founders felt that until those agreements were abandoned, no amalgamation could take place.
In 1893, the young Federation found itself involved in what became the most widespread struggle between workers and employers that Britain had yet seen. The mine owners� demand of a 25 per cent cut in miners� pay escalated into a massive lock-out subsequently involving 300,000 workers.
The lock-out was in progress for six weeks, when there was an event at Featherstone in the West Riding of Yorkshire which has left an indelible mark on history.
The forces of authority deliberately turned out soldiers from the local barracks and marched them to Featherstone Colliery; there, following the reading of the Riot Act, the soldiers opened fire on the crowd.
Two men were killed and sixteen wounded in what became known as the �Featherstone Riot�. The action of the soldiers, calculated and deliberate, showed the naked face of the capitalist State.
During the course of the 1893 conflict, women�s committees were formed around the country to support mining communities, and in London, Beatrice Webb, the famous labour campaigner and historian, chaired a national meeting aimed at raising funds for the families of the striking miners.
After fifteen weeks� united action, the miners forced the owners to restore the wage cuts they had tried to introduce.
This was indeed a �baptism by fire�, with the MFGB tried and tested in industrial action, many of its members badly injured, and a number killed.
The national Union, however, had now established itself on a firm footing, and its position inside and outside the coal industry had been strengthened. It had proved that united action could defeat the employers.

It was the second fastest time of the year after Usain Bolt's 9.76 seconds and a personal best for the 30-year-old Gatlin, whose previous quickest time was the 9.85 he ran to win gold in Athens.
Tyson Gay, coming back from hip surgery after nearly a year off the track, also looked ready to take on the world's best in London as he clocked 9.86 for second.
"Everything seems so surreal," said a smiling Gatlin, dressed in a red Team USA uniform. "I just went out there and gave it my all."
His start was not the greatest but by 35 metres Gatlin looked like the runner of old as he turned on his speed with Gay close behind.
"His execution down the track was almost flawless," said his coach, retired sprinter Dennis Mitchell.
It left Gatlin confident he could regain the sprint title in London ahead of the likes of Jamaica's world record holder Bolt and world champion Yohan Blake.
"I think I can go faster ... enough to win the gold," Gatlin said.
"A lot of people are saying the comeback is here, but I feel like until I make it to that podium at the Olympics and fulfill my dreams... that is my goal," said the 30-year-old, who was banned for four years from 2006.
Trials runner-up and US record holder Tyson Gay will forge a formidable partnership with Gatlin as the rest of the world continues to seek a match for the twin Jamaican threat of world record holder Usain Bolt and world champion Yohan Blake.
"We are definitely competitors at heart," Gatlin said of Gay. "I am glad he is back, and I am glad he is healthy."
"It is not going to take just one person," added the confident Gatlin, whose next race will be rematch with Gay in Paris in July.
"I can't say I am going to take down the world or the Jamaicans by myself. It is going to take an arsenal, starting with myself, Tyson, Ryan Bailey (third in the trials) and whoever else is going to step up to the plate."
Gay had one word to describe his emotions.
"Bittersweet," he said. "I always like to win. I came in second, but I guess at the end of the day it was about making the team, so I got to make I sure I turn this little bit of frown into a happy face.
"For me to start training in March and make the team is a beautiful accomplishment."
Former junior college champion Ryan Bailey claimed the third spot in 9.93, while 2008 Olympic bronze medallist Walter Dix finished last in 10.95 as leg problems continued to hamper him.
"Tried to test it one step at a time," Dix said. Things like this happen. I really can't say much about it."
The sprint came after LaShawn Merritt and Sanya Richards-Ross had delivered the fastest 400 metres times of the year.
Olympic champion Merritt, who has also served a doping ban since his Beijing triumph, romped home in 44.12 seconds to defeat collegiate winner Tony McQuay and Bryshon Nellum, who four years ago was shot in both legs.
"I have been training very hard this season ... if it takes 43 (seconds) and digging in London I'm willing to go there," Merritt said of his title defence.
McQuay ran 44.49 and Nellum finished in 44.80.
"It's been a long journey for me," Nellum said. "I finally had a healthy season."
Nellum was shot on a street corner in Los Angeles in October 2008 and underwent three surgeries afterwards.
"I was running on one leg at practice," the 23-year-old recalled. "Like a baby, I had to crawl before I walked. Before I ran."
Athens Olympic champion Jeremy Wariner was a well-beaten sixth in 45.24.
Not to be outdone by the men, former world champion Richards-Ross breezed home in 49.28 seconds in the women's race. She outran Dee Dee Trotter (50.02) and Francena McCorory (50.43).
"Today was phenomenal," Richards-Ross said. "It's a dream come true. You really can't think about it (the Olympics) until you get past this."
In the field, Reese Hoffa popped the longest shot put of the outdoor season to pace the always tough squad for the Games.
The former world champion hit a world-leading 22.00 metres on his third attempt to outdistance world indoor champion Ryan Whiting and Olympic silver medallist Christian Cantwell. Whiting threw 21.66 and Cantwell 21.28.
Olympic medallists Stephanie Brown Trafton and Jenn Suhr also booked return trips to the Olympics in women's field events.
Surprise 2008 gold medallist Brown Trafton dominated the discus, closing out the competition with a throw of 65.18 metres.
Suhr, the Beijing silver medallist, cleared 4.60 metres in the pole vault.
Collegian Marquise Goodwin won the long jump on his final leap, going 8.33 metres to defeat William Claye.
The trials select the US team for the London Games and only the top three finishers in each event book a spot provided they meet the qualifying standard.

Schwartzel, who won back-to-back tournaments in December last year by a combined total of 23 shots, carded a second round of 68 to finish alongside China's Ashun Wu on nine under par in Kuala Lumpur.
But after the former Masters champion signed his card, a two-and-a-half-hour delay due to the threat of lightning meant that half the field were unable to complete their second rounds on schedule.
And with thunderstorms an almost daily occurrence at this time of year, plans for an early finish on Sunday to allow the country's prime minister to attend the prize-giving ceremony before going on to the Malaysian Grand Prix at nearby Sepang already look in jeopardy.
The second round will resume at 7:45am local time on Saturday, with the third round beginning not before 1:15pm.
Schwartzel, looking to become the seventh South African winner on the European Tour in 2013, was four under par after 11 holes of his first round when a thunderstorm forced play to be abandoned for the day on Thursday.
He was among 76 players who resumed play on Friday morning at 7:45am local time and completed an opening 67 in style, chipping in for a birdie on the 18th.
That left him two shots off the clubhouse lead held by Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat, but it did not take him long to wipe out that deficit when the second round got under way.
"It was a long day out there but overall I feel I played pretty well and am at least giving myself a chance. I am playing consistently," said Schwartzel. "If I was a bit sharper I could have really separated myself but the game is good and shows me if I keep doing that, hopefully by Sunday, or whenever we finish, I will be on top."
Aphibarnrat moved into the outright lead on 10 under with a front nine of 33 before play was halted due to darkness, while world number three Luke Donald, who needed a major improvement on his opening 74 to make the cut, was two under through seven to get back to level par for the tournament.

By a conservative estimate, there were at least eight "USA!" chants. American flags were distributed for waving at the appropriate time, there were copious tributes to the country's troops and (especially) veterans, and a country song with the chorus "Only in America, dreaming in red, white and blue" played out the end of the night.
At many points on Thursday evening, it would have been easy to mistake what was happening inside Charlotte's arena for a gathering of Republicans. Except the Republicans neglected to do this sort of stuff the week prior at their national convention, which was sort of the point.
Epitomized by Mitt Romney's much-noted failure to mention U.S. men and women overseas while accepting his party's presidential nomination, the GOP has for now shifted away from the sort of muscular patriotism that has helped it win elections past. That's opened a door for the Democrats – and on the final night of their convention, they went bursting through it.
Major decisions by President Barack Obama – from authorizing the killing of Osama bin Laden, which was mentioned countless times, to bailing out auto companies – were presented as signs of his deep love of (and faith in) his country. The Republicans' unwillingness to embrace some of those decisions, and the generally grim tone at their convention last week, were painted as a lack of the same. And so too, of course, were Mr. Romney's offshore banking habits and the allegedly cutthroat tactics of his company, Bain Capital – a running theme through the week.
It all added up to a fairly straightforward message, targeted to pivotal swing states like Michigan and Ohio: Democrats are now the ones who speak for the heartland, while Republicans would rather just sit around doubting and criticizing.
Nobody was blunter on Thursday than Vice-President Joe Biden, who performed the warm-up act for Mr. Obama's convention-closing speech. "America is not in decline," he shouted, red-faced, shortly before becoming choked up about the sacrifice made by U.S. soldiers killed in combat. "I've got news for Governor Romney and (running mate) Paul Ryan: It has never, never, ever, been a good bet to bet against the American people."
Mr. Obama, seeking the high road, was subtler. Still, he managed to work in a dig about how "our friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America." And he essentially built a case that Mr. Romney is negative about the country's prospects and its role in the world, while he himself believes in it and see its potential.
And, yes, Mr. Obama did what Mr. Romney failed to do, praising "the Americans who still serve in harm's way," and praising "a generation whose sacrifice has made this country safer and more respected."
Perhaps most tellingly, there was Senator John Kerry visibly enjoying himself as he delivered a blistering attack on Mr. Romney's foreign-policy credentials. "The only thing exceptional about today's Republicans is that, almost without exception, they oppose everything that has made America exceptional in the first place," he said.
Mr. Kerry knows this line of attack well, because it was viciously and dubiously used against him by the Republicans when he ran for president eight years ago. The Democrats, at the least, are trying to make sure that never happens again; more than that, it seems they're trying to turn the tables.Report Typo/Error

South Tynesiders are putting their families lives at risk by failing to have smoke alarms fitted, a fire chief has warned.
Shocking figures released by the fire service showed that 412 of 1,200 homes visited last year across South Shields didn't have working smoke detectors – more than a third.
And since April 1, 116 out of 200 properties visited by firefighters needed smoke alarms fitted – more than half.
Ray Craig, watchmanager at South Shields Fire Station, said the issue was a matter of life and death.
He told the Gazette: "It is alarming the number of homes we are still coming across where there is no working smoke detector.
"A lot of people will fork out for a burglar alarm because they are worried about being burgled but yet fail to have a smoke alarm.
"If your house is burgled and a TV or your PlayStation goes missing, you can replace them but you cannot replace a life.
"When carrying out checks on homes we have found people have taken batteries out of smoke alarms or failed to check smoke alarms are working – you might as well stick a brick on your ceiling if that's the case.
"Of people who lose their lives in a fire, nine out of 10 of them haven't had a working smoke alarm.
"Having a smoke alarm gives you so much early warning to a fire which will give you a chance to get your family out of the house.
"Having a working smoke alarm could mean the difference between life and death."
Mr Craig also urged South Tynesiders to test their smoke detectors weekly.
According to national fire service statistics, people are four times more likely to die in a fire if there is no working smoke alarm installed while 21 people die each year because the battery in their smoke alarm was flat or missing.
"The earlier we are alerted to a fire the quicker we can be on the scene tackling it.
"People should be testing their alarms at least once a week."
Every year, each watch covering the South Tyneside area are tasked with carrying out visits to 300 homes to deliver home fire safety checks - which includes the fitting of smoke detectors and offering fire safety advice.
Talks are also delivered to youngsters in schools on the importance of fire safety.
Mr Craig said: "If there is a fire in the property people need to be getting out and contacting us, not tackling the fire themselves.
"If your living room is on fire, it can be re-decorated, if you injure yourself trying to put out a fire yourself, you could end up scarred for life.
"Fighting fires is our job, fire burns and smoke kills that's why we wear breathing apparatus and protective clothing. People need to be getting out, staying out and calling 999."

"Taking a chance on love could cost them everything…"
Bianca King is living the golden life in metro Georgia with a booming veterinary practice and a steady string of dates–until her somewhat estranged father asks for her help in keeping the family ranch afloat. When Bianca returns to her small South Carolina hometown, she meets the latest threat, neighboring rancher Kahron Strong, a man with knowing eyes and the body of a gladiator. But this competition may just do Bianca some good…
Ever ambitious, Kahron has his eyes on the Kings ranch–among other things. Bianca rejects his offer to buy, but he's not one to take no for an answer, even if it comes from the sexiest lips he's never kissed. But when a series of dangerous accidents puts the business AND Bianca at risk, Kahron decides the auburn beauty is much more valuable than her land. As they come together to track the source of the trouble, Bianca will have to surrender her resolve and her heart to save the ranch …and something she cares about even more.

Well, I agree. I think it may be worth pointing out that Conjugate[x]
itsef is trated as a non-algebraic fucntions so that for example:
Simplify[Re[x], Conjugate[x] > 1]
even though the asumption actually implies that x is real. It is the
presence of x in x*Conjugate[x] that causes:
Simplify[Re[x], x*Conjugate[x] > 1]
From the point of view of "usual mathematics" these two answers
ought to be exactly the wrong way round!
One more solution, not so far mentioned, that seems to (normally)
solve such problems is wrapping ComplexExpand[] around "real
assumptions" and ComplexExpand[ ,{x}] around complex ones. Thus in
the above:
Simplify[Re[x], ComplexExpand[Conjugate[x] > 1]]
Simplify[Re[x], ComplexExpand[x*Conjugate[x] > 1, {x}]]
which are now the right way round.

need help 6v to 12 volt
Well Doc, here's an update. Turns out the Hot Rod shop did not have senders listed by resistance. (they seem to know less about this than I do, now). So back to the parts store to browse the Standard catalog. found one that was listed as 24.7 ohms at 220 degrees and 152 ohms at 100 degrees (I figured I needed 33 at 220 and 105 at 100 degrees, but this was as close as I could get). Went home to try the "heating water Test". The gauge pegged before the water got to 100 degrees. (It would start out slowly and about halfway up the gauge just swing over to the peg, as the water got hotter it pegged faster). Almost seems like i have a ground at the gauge or in the wire (I've checked this several times) but when i disconnect the ground from the sender, the gauge doesn't move,(seems if I had a short to ground it would read all the time) Also the resistors placed in the ground wire did make the gauge work properly. Does this make any sense to you? Can you guess what I am doing wrong? Also, I appear to have another problem. My battery went dead after sitting for 4 days (second time), so I put the voltmeter between the negative terminal and the negative cable, I read 10.2 volts. (I expected 0) I get the same reading if I put it between the positive post and positive cable. From reading other posts, I disconnected the alternator completely, but got the same reading. Next I will start pulling fuses to try and isolate this problem. Could this problem be affecting my sender testing?
Lastly, do you have a simple schematic for a mid 80's gm wiring harness with the 3 wire alternator and built in regulator? This one is wired with both leads from the alternator connected together and then runs everywhere. that doesn't seem right to me, and I can't seem to isolate anything cause it just feeds in a circle. Sorry to be so long winded, but most of my hair is on the shop floor. Don

The board of Innogy, the company demerged just 18 months ago from the old National Power, was meeting today and directors were expected to agree to a 275p a share takeover valuing the company's equity at £3.1bn. Innogy also has racked up more than £2.3bn debt after a shopping spree last year acquiring the customers of Yorkshire Electricity and Northern Electric.
The takeover by RWE, already the owner of Thames Water, should trigger a heap of share options and share bonuses due to chief executive Brian Count. With his £430,000 basic pay, 50% bonus and pension handouts, Count's take for the year is likely to exceed £1.8m.
Chairman Ross Sayers will also be in for a hefty payout. Last year he received an incentive plan share bonus now worth £750,000 on top of his £582,000 pay and bonuses. The windfall for former Suffolk grammar school boy Count, 51, will be the culmination of a 28-year career in the industry having joined the old CEGB straight from Cambridge University.

Puget Sound nonprofits announce plans for neighborhood radio stations
Public meeting will introduce applicants Oct. 15
Looking at how and where people spend their time with media today the blizzard of choices means loyalty among consumers can be a difficult thing to get and maintain. Nonetheless, fifteen local nonprofits and universities are ready to apply for low-power FM (LPFM) radio licenses to serve Seattle's neighborhoods. There's a group that has staked out West Seattle but so far, they've chosen to remain unidentified.
Those are public will be sharing their plans for community service and a map of the neighborhoods that they plan to serve at a public event at Pike Place Market at noon on Oct. 15.
A list of the applicants can be found at: http://community.brownpapertickets.com/Doers/radio.html. Seattle-based Brown Paper Tickets is assisting these nonprofits in their application, and has helped eligible groups across the country learn about the opportunity to own their own radio station, as part of it's National Make Radio Challenge.
The government shutdown is causing an unexpected delay in the Oct. 15 opening of a two-week window for nonprofits to submit applications for thousands of low-power FM (LPFM) radio frequencies now available as a result of the Local Community Radio Act. Pike Place Market is considering application, but is not yet ready to commit to it, and may actually benefit from the extra time created by the government closure.
The public meeting at the Market will allow any interested party to ask questions of the applicants. The one hour meeting gets underway at 12 noon in the Pike Place Market, Atrium Loft on the top floor of the Economy Market.
Here's a list of who will be there:
Sabrina Roach, Doer specializing in public media and director of Brown Paper Tickets' national campaign to proliferate LPFM
Ben Franz-Knight, Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority
David Keyes, City of Seattle, Department of Information Technology
Sahar Fathi, City of Seattle, Office of Immigrant & Refugee Affairs
Randy Engstrom, City of Seattle, Office of Arts & Culture
Debra Twersky, 4Culture
Representatives from the following nonprofit organizations, applying for a neighborhood radio station when the FCC reopens:
- OneAmerica (SeaTac)
- Earth on the Air Independent Media (University District)
- Fulcrum Community Communications (Neighborhoods North of the Cut)
- Hollow Earth Radio (Central District)
- Sand Point Arts & Cultural Exchange (Magnuson Park)
- Seattle University Radio (Central District/First Hill)
- SouthEast Effective Development (Rainier Valley/Rainier Beach)
- Sustainable Bainbridge (Bainbridge)
- UWave Radio at University of Washington at Bothell (Bothell)
- YOUR.FM Skyway (Skyway)
Those at the meeting hope to discuss how neighborhood radio can help foster arts and culture communities, close the gap on the low number of media outlets owned by people of color and women, partner with neighborhood blogs and other forms of hyper-local media to develop sustainable business models, innovate programming and incubate talent because of low-barriers to participation, and help train and provide networking for the next generation of media professionals.
Brown Paper Tickets has implemented a National Make Radio Challenge to fill every available frequency in Seattle with a qualified applicant, to get the word out to nonprofits nationally, and to give free assistance and counsel to applicants anywhere across the country who asked for help.
We encourage our readers to comment. No registration is required. We ask that you keep your comments free of profanity and keep them civil. They are moderated and objectionable comments will be removed.

Nov. 7, 2013
Tickets Available | Game Central
By Jenny Herstein, U-M Public & Media Relations
On Friday night (Nov. 8), the University of Michigan men's basketball team will run out of the tunnel to the tune of The Victors. As the fans rise from their seats to applaud the new squad, above their heads will hang a new banner, adorned with the block M, the words Final Four, and the year 2013.
Among those stepping onto the court will be some players who have never seen the bright lights and boisterous crowds of the Final Four. And their teammates, who were in last year's national title game, must begin once more with a new team; one that has yet to suffer the bitterness of defeat or the grandeur of a major victory. But there will also be others who have been to the Final Four who will watch from the stands -- their time as Michigan basketball players now a mere memory.
One such Wolverine is former Michigan basketball captain, Josh Bartelstein, who will be at Crisler Center on Friday night to watch as the 2013 Final Four banner is raised before Michigan takes on UMass-Lowell in its first game of the regular season.
"I think it's definitely bittersweet," Bartelstein said. "Seeing the guys again and being in the locker room and not being a part of it is going to be hard. But that's what happens in college basketball. Guys move on."
While Michigan's historic run to the national title game ended last year after the loss to Louisville, and some players graduated or moved on to the NBA, the banner will forever remind Michigan fans of the contributions made by Bartelstein and his teammates.
"That banner will always be there, and no one can ever take it away from me," Bartelstein said. "The minute you walk in at Michigan, you see the row of banners hanging and you imagine hanging your own. Honestly, I think I'm going to get the chills Friday night. I think of all that went into it; all the coaches, all my teammates, the support staff. It's a surreal feeling. Last year was a dream come true."
The banner is the second to be raised in Crisler Center in the past two years. Last season, before Michigan played North Carolina State, a banner was raised in honor of U-M's 2011-12 Big Ten regular-season title.
"It's not just the team that is back, it's the program that is back," Bartelstein said. "The program is sustainable, and that's one of the things that I'm most proud of leading. You're not just going to have good teams and bad teams, but there are people in athletics. The character, the values and the talented players are all there. Every year they're going to be competing for a Big Ten championship."
With the banner honoring the 2012-13 teams' accomplishments being raised on the same night as the first game of Michigan's 2013-14 season, the raising of the banner will serve not only as a reminder of the past but also as a challenge to the new team.
"The sky's the limit now," Bartelstein said. "They're young but they have great leaders and players. Jordan (Morgan) and Jon (Horford), Mitch (McGary) and Glenn (Robinson III) are really talented."
But the captain of last season's team is careful to note the importance of approaching the season one step at a time.
"Only four teams get to the Final Four and you have to have a little bit of luck," Bartelstein said. "You can't look that far in advance because it's such a long season. If you do that, you'll probably skip steps along the way."
The first of those small steps is the game against UMass-Lowell, a team in its first season as a Division I program, but returns an experienced squad that contains all but one of its starters from a season ago.
But while Bartelstein is cautious in his optimism about the season, he is firm in one belief.
"This program is there," he said. "It's going to be there for a long time."
"People always talk about how the University of Michigan is the best school in the country. Well guess what? The basketball program is top now also."
The 2013-14 Wolverines may still be untested -- they have not yet played their first regular-season game, let alone made their contribution to the history of Michigan basketball. But the raising of the banner on Friday night will serve as a reminder that already each player has achieved something of worth by stepping onto the court of Crisler Center in their University's colors with Michigan proudly displayed across their chests.
They are Michigan Wolverines. Above and beyond anything else, the new banner is a testament to the fact that this itself is once again a mark of excellence.

Provide some info and someone may be able to help.
We are not psychic
Hello guys. I'm antomic and I have gotten kind of good at cracking WEP now. I understand how to do it and I have a couple times. The problem is with injection. I have tried for about an hour trying to get my AP to accept my fake auth packets. It won't. All I get is a repetitive screen of "Sending Authentication Packet" All the settings are correct, i think.
I am currently running BT3 Beta on a bootable disk on a macbook pro with a WUSB54GC Ralink network card. I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've tried for an hour and i still can't get my AP to accept any injected packets.
Provide some info and someone may be able to help.
We are not psychic
first, in Aireplay-ng, i type (without quotations and with mymac adress spoofed)
"aireplay-ng -1 0 -e antman -a 00:0E:3D:6E:90:81 -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 rausb0"
after that, I get
Sending Authentication Request...
Sending Authentication Request....
(it goes on and on)
but sometimes i get
Sending Authentication Request...
Authentication Successful
Sending Association request....
Sending Authentication request....
Authentication Successful....
(etc etc etc) It repeats the authentication request and when it does get past that stage, it never gets past the sending association request...
So that's how far i got. Sorry if it seems extremely nooby, but I'm just stumped
oh and I also have installed WEP, not WPA.

VLM reduces strain on employees, space and productivity
Manufacturer cuts process footprint while enabling custom-built products to ship in 24 hours.
in the NewsU.S.-NAFTA trade is up for sixth straight month, reports BTS AAR reports annual U.S. carload and intermodal gains for week ending June 17 Digital Issue: The Current State of Third-Party Logistics Services New JDA survey finds missing link to omni-channel success for manufacturers and retailers FTR report makes the case for Twin 33-foot trailers in the LTL sector More News
Christie is a global visual technologies company with more than 100,000 projection systems installed worldwide, including solutions for cinema, business presentations, education, media and government. With production at capacity and limited room for expansion, the company installed two shuttle vertical lift modules (VLMs) in its manufacturing facility. The new system (Kardex Remstar, kardexremstar.com) recovered 70% of the floor space required by the previous system—doubling capacity and cutting labor requirements in half.
According to Philip Hibberd, senior manufacturing engineer at Christie, the company previously maintained an inventory of 100 sub-assembled projectors, each stored on a 2-foot by 3-foot cart. To double inventory with that system, the company would have had to expand the area to make more room for 200 carts on the floor, then buy more carts and hire more people.
Instead, two shuttle VLMs each currently hold 100 sub-assembled projectors. Both have room for more capacity, and each occupies 180 square feet, compared to 600 square feet in the previous system. The recovered floor space allowed the sub-assembly process to grow from six assembly stations to nine.
Each projector weighs about 52 pounds, and lifting them put employees at risk of injury and projectors at risk of damage. Before the new system, projectors were stored on carts that employees pulled around. And, even though hoists were available to move projectors from a station to a cart, not all employees used them. With the new system, each VLM is equipped with automatic tray extraction and a hoist is mounted at the access point.
Working on a first in, first out basis, it used to take each of the four workers 15 to 20 minutes to locate the right projector. "The sub-assembled projectors all look the same, so the operator would need to check each serial number until they found the correct one," said Hibberd. With the VLMs, only two workers are needed and the required projector is delivered to the worker in less than a minute. Christie is retrieving the projectors more than 90% faster with half the labor.
"The VLMs fit nicely into the lean flow in our facility," says Hibberd. "From sub-assembly to testing to storage to configuration to verification testing to shipping, the new system cuts wasted time and effort from the process."

Ranger Uranium Mine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ranger Uranium Mine is a large uranium deposit in the Kakadu National Park. The uranium is legally owned by the Australian Government, and is sold internationally. This mining, and the presence of uranium in Kakadu have come under controversy, due to the widespread publicity regarding the potential danger of nuclear power and uranium mining.
Kakadu is on the World Heritage List, both for its cultural and natural value, a rare feat because few sites are featured for both reasons.[1]
