DISA Valve repair kit
For those of you that have viewed my M52-M54 engine build and swap forum you know I posted there that I was working on internal replacement parts for a cost effective and long term fix for the DISA self destruct syndrome. Here is what I posted there plus the CAD models of the new internal replacement parts.
The 1st pic is of the flapper valve and lever arm that rotates the flapper valve. As you can see the end of the flapper valve has a hex shaped hole in it. The section of the lever arm just past the pointed and slotted end has what's left of a hex shape O.D..
In my opinion, the reason these fail is due to the following:
> Because the 2 parts are injection molded they need draft (taper) in order to release from the mold.
> Because of the draft on the ID of the hex hole and the OD of the hex section of the lever; and the allowance for manufacturing dimensional tolerances, the 2 pieces have to be made with a clearance in their fit together.
> The code PA66 GF30 on the flapper valve means it's made of 30% glass filled nylon.
> The code PA66 on the lever arm means it's made of just nylon, without glass fill.
> Because there is clearance between the 2 parts in their assembled state, and because there are strong pressure pulses inside the intake manifold, these 2 pieces vibrate against each other during normal operation.
> Once the nylon starts to wear a little, the tiny glass fibers in the flapper valve start to become exposed. Since the lever arm is plain nylon, the exposed fibers in the flapper valve start to wear it away, then it's all down hill from there. The lever arm was most likely not made with glass fill because it would eat up the sleeve bearing and seal that it rides in. I have seen this same erosion in other parts where a glass filled plastic moves or vibrates against a non-glass filled plastic.
My solution will be to machine both pieces out of aluminum, then anodize them for wear resistance. They will be made in such a way that they lock solidly together once assembled, and indexed so that the flapper valve is slightly preloaded against the rubber sealing lip inside the housing when in its closed position to prevent vibration.
New aluminum parts view 1.
New aluminum parts view 2.
New aluminum parts cutaway view showing fitment of the pieces.
A few things to note about the new design:
1) The new aluminum parts will be stronger than the OEM plastic parts.
2) Since all the internal parts lock solidly together they cannot vibrate against each other and erode like the stock pieces.
3) Since a worn and freely flapping about flapper valve is the most likely cause of the internal supporting framework breaking; if a current DISA valve still has a solid internal support structure, there should be no reason for it to break in the future.
4) Since the flapper valve is screwed to the lever arm, and since the lever arm can't get pulled through it's support bushing, even if the internal support framework were to break the flapper valve would remain captive. No possibility of parts running amuck inside the engine.
5) Same concept applies to the pivot pin on top of the flapper valve; it will be screwed and thread locked to the valve. With the OEM design the stock steel pivot pin is just pushed into the plastic flapper valve and falls free in the event of failure.
I hope to machine the first set within the next week. If everything goes to schedule I hope to be able to offer a repair kit in about 2 weeks. The kit will include all parts shown plus detailed instructions, a new O-ring seal and a mini tube of red thread lock. This should be a very easy DIY repair.
All feedback welcome.
i think there is one guy on ebay and he was doing some similar repairs for M52-M54 DISA engine
great work, pm me when done, ill take one
Really nice work. Must be a bit slow in your shop to tie up a CNC on a project like this. Do you have an estimated cost?
I just bought a new DISA through the group by:mad: This looks like a better solution. Sign me up for a kit when you have them put together.
Sorry to hijack the thread, what is the first year do the e39 start having the DISA? Or all e39 got one.
Looks Awesome! Give me a shout when you are ready to sell them!
Very nicely done. That mod/repair would appear to make the DISA valve last the life of the car, as long as the vacuum component doesn't fail.
BMW does seem to be a little too addicted to plastic these days.
He sales o-ring's for M54 DISA and also did M54 DISA repairs for something like 40$
( not sure about details and why he stopped to do it now )
DISA rebuild
I'm very interested in your rebuild kit. My daughter's has apparently gone bad on her X3 2.5. I'm not sure yet if the vacuum diaphram is bad or not, as I haven't yet pulled it. Is there a part for that as well?
Please PM me when you have the kit available. I'll give it try and report back.
The DISA valve from my vehicle is the original with 120,000 miles on it, and even though the plastic bell crank lever and plastic flapper valve were completely worn out and starting to fracture, the main frame ass'y, vacuum pot, inner support bushing, outer support bushing and bell crank seal are all in perfect condition. This gives me a certain level of confidence that most used DISA's will be repairable. I'll keep everyone posted on expected shipment availability.
Exploded view of rev2 design.
The revision 2 design incorporates a very light weight custom titainium cap screw that both secures the assembly together and acts as the internal pivot pin. With this design everthing is secured together from outside the DISA/manifold assembly, meaning there is nothing to fall into the intake manifold that's small enough to make it to the engine, even if the main screw were to loosen and fall out.
Transparent view of rev2 design.
I am interested...
DISA valve
Will your kit work with an '04 X3 2.5? I checked and the part # for the E39 is one number off, 805 vs 806.
The version I'm currently working on is the 3.0 liter version. As soon as I can I will try to get my hands on the other version and see what the internal differences are.
Do you have those DISA flaps for sale yet ? I need one for my 02 530i got fault codes telling me its faulty
Props to you BikesStillRule!!!!
I will post your efforts on the other board too, I am certain there are people interested in this. If you will start "mass"-producing the kit, at least let's increase the audience....
P.S.: I posted it on the other board here.
Saw doru's post over on bimmerforums, I'm definitely interested. I've got 142K miles on mine, I haven't checked it, but I am planning on doing all the gaskets in that area in the next week or two, so I'd love to refresh my DISA if I already have it taken out. I'd be willing to be a beta reviewer if you still need one.
Just finished the final revision tool path programming last night. I have the o-rings, Locktite and grease packets in stock and I plan on running about 10 sets of parts over the weekend. The only delay at this point is I'm still trying to source the titanium cap screws. For the people who are in a hurry I might have to ship the first kits with a stainless steel screw.
On another positive note; I just purchased a brand new unit from BMW with the new superceded part number and everything is a perfect fit on that unit too. In fact I can't see any differences between the original production units and the new superceded part number units.
Im interested. I will be watching this thread.
Awesome, very awesome :-)
You'll be doing good deals on international postage I hope!
Count me in too!

He has a strong personality and unbeatable wit, and now Alec Baldwin may be coming to the late night lineup over at the NBC Network.
According to a report, the "30 Rock" stud is being considered for a new show to air during the 1:35am timeslot currently occupied by Carson Daly's "Last Call" program.
Kicking off his big day with a breakfast date, Alec Baldwin took his wife Hilaria Baldwin out in New York City this morning (April 3).
The "30 Rock" stud, who turns 55 today, looked pleasant and stopped to admire a cute baby on his way to grab a delicious meal.
Taking care of his pet-owning responsibilities, Alec Baldwin kicked off his Tuesday morning (March 19) by walking his two dogs in New York City.
The "30 Rock" star looked a bit cranky as he held a leash in each hand and scurried up the street in the chilly Manhattan weather in his black overcoat.
After announcing their pregnancy last month, Hilaria Thomas Baldwin announced that she and Alec Baldwin are expecting a little girl.
Speaking to Extra on Thursday, the happy mommy-to-be shared, "Alec and I are overjoyed that we are going to be welcoming a little girl into our lives."
Given his history of temper tantrums, it's not surprising that Alec Baldwin has been forced to defend himself against claims that he unleashed a racially-themed wrath on a New York Post photographer.
However, the "30 Rock" hunk told David Letterman that there was nothing racist about his sentiments during the incident in question.
He's definitely known for having a temper, and when Alec Baldwin found out Shia LaBeouf published their private emails following his departure from "Orphans," Alec was none too pleased.
The "30 Rock" hunk told the New York Times that the "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" actor's decision to make their exchange public was "very disappointing."
As previously reported by The GossipCenter, Shia LaBeouf has left the Broadway production "Orphans" due to creative differences with costar Alec Baldwinv, and now he's posted some emails that resulted in the aftermath.
He's never been one for controlling his mouth, and Alec Baldwin may be guilty of committing a hate crime after a verbal assault on New York Post photographer/retired NYPD detective G. N. Miller.
According to a report, the "30 Rock" actor encountered the man outside his East Village apartment building on Sunday (February 17) at which time he called him a "coon," "crackhead," and "drug dealer."

• Orders for regional bus operations top £545million in last seven years, plus £100million in London since 2010
• Communities in Scotland, England and Wales to benefit from latest orders
• £21million hybrid bus fleet for London and more gas buses for Sunderland
• Entire Oxford Tube fleet to be replaced, plus new coaches for megabus.com in UK and Europe
• More than 350 new vehicles to have wi-fi installed
Stagecoach Group today (Monday 3 March 2014) announced a major boost for British manufacturing as it unveiled record orders worth over £100million in hundreds of new buses and coaches.
Britain's biggest bus and coach operator has placed orders for almost 570 vehicles for the financial year 2014-15, benefitting communities in regions across England, Scotland and Wales. The investment in new greener vehicles also includes a £21million fleet of hybrid electric buses for London and new coaches for the company's expanding megabus.com budget travel service in the UK and Europe.
The vast majority of the new buses and coaches will be produced in the UK. The investment will support hundreds of British manufacturing jobs and smaller businesses in the supply chain who produce key components from drivers' seats and toilets to wheelchair lifts and destination displays*.
It is the largest set of orders ever placed by Stagecoach and is also understood to be the biggest placed by any bus operator in Britain. It takes Stagecoach Group's total orders of new buses and coaches for its regional bus operations in the UK to around £545million in last seven years. The Group has also ordered more than £100million of new vehicles for its London bus operations since buying the business in 2010.
In the next financial year, Stagecoach is investing more than £81million in 495 new vehicles to go into service in local communities outside London, across Scotland, England and Wales. In addition, a £21million fleet of 70 state-of-the-art hybrid buses will be introduced at the Group's London operations.
All of the new vehicles will be fitted with CCTV while more than 350 will also have wi-fi installed, giving customers free internet access during their journeys.
The latest orders follow an annual competitive tendering process and the first of the new vehicles will be delivered from Spring 2014.
Highlights of the latest investment are:
• More than 420 low-floor double-decker, single-decker, midi and mini buses for Stagecoach regional bus networks in the UK. These include a fleet of 29 next-generation model double deck vehicles for Manchester services and 38 new Gold specification vehicles to go into service across the UK.
• A special consignment of 26 state-of-the-art double-deck coaches to replace the entire existing Oxford Tube fleet.
• 72 cleaner, greener hybrid vehicles to go into operation in London
• A further 23 eco-friendly gas buses for the company's operations in Sunderland
• A total of 17 new coaches for megabus.com in the UK and Europe as well as inter-urban bus routes in the UK and a further three megabusGold.com sleepercoach vehicles.
All of the new vehicles meet Euro 5 or Euro 6 emissions standards.
Stagecoach is already the UK's biggest investor in green hybrid electric buses, which produce up to 30% less carbon emissions than standard buses. The company has more than 270 hybrid electric buses already in service across the UK.
Stagecoach Group Chief Executive Martin Griffiths said: "This record investment is a major boost for UK jobs in manufacturing and many other smaller businesses in the supply chain.
"It is also a huge vote of confidence in the future of bus and coach travel in Britain. By investing in quality and continuing to offer the best value travel of any major operator in the UK, we can help people save money, rely less on their cars and use a greener way to access work, health, education and leisure."
Details of the new orders are as follows:
• 69 ADL Enviro 400 Scania double-deckers

"When we get to Jerusalem," he said, "the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die. Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, whipped, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead." - Matthew 20:18-19
With the benefit of two thousand years of hindsight, we understand there could be no Easter morning without a Good Friday. However, as far as the disciples of Jesus were concerned, on that Friday after the crucifixion, the Cross was the end of all their highest hopes and most daring dreams.
Jesus had certainly done his best to prepare his followers for the Cross, for on three occasions he had told them that he would die, but also that he would rise again. The first occasion was after Peter's confession of faith (Matthew 16:21). The second was after Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:22-23). The third was as he and his disciples were going to Jerusalem for the last time. Jesus spoke of himself, saying, "They will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, whipped, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead" (Matthew 20:19).
It seems strange that not one of the disciples remembered the momentous promise that Jesus would rise again.
Why is it so important to believe in Jesus' resurrection? Because we who believe it and confess him as Lord will be raised too! By far the biggest problem in life is death. But for the believer, the stone has been rolled away from the tomb of death. It's empty! Death for the Christian is the gateway into life. Christ has gone before to tell us there is a new world ahead of us, and those of us who believe can face the grave with utmost confidence in that promise.

Sony has announced its first ever external hard drive which will allow you record TV shows directly, transfer video from your Handycam and even watch films and photos via your PlayStation 3.
For Sony lovers out there who already have their homes kitted out with all the latest Sony tech, the HD-PG5 series of external hard drives brings everything together rather nicely. The 500GB storage unit will allow you to record HD content direct from your TV – but only if its a Bravia TV. Connecting via USB, the HD-PG5U will record content from the TV's tuner as well as from a set top box.And while a lot of set top boxes have a record function of their own, this solution will let you watch those shows where ever you like.
If you have a HandyCam camcorder lying around and want to transfer some footage off it without having to hook it up to a PC, the these hard drives are for you. With the supplied USB adaptor cable, PC-free transfer of video footage is possible with compatible HandyCam models, which have Direct Copy function, such as the new DCR-SX21E and DCR-SR21 models.
Finally, the hard drives can also hook up to your PlayStation 3 to let you watch AVCHD videos and photos via the Filmy app – again without the need for a PC. The HD-PG5 series can of course be used as a regular external HDD and boasts USB 3.0 support for high speed transfers while those stuck with USB 2.0 will benefit from the pre-loaded Data Transfer Accelerator software which claims to double transfer rates.
The HD-PG5 series is available in black and white and weighs in at just 180g. The drives have a scratch-resistant paint layer to ensure there look better for longer and come with a suite of security and backup software.
The HD-PG5 drives will be available in the UK, France and Germany from the middle of this month but no pricing has been announced so far but we've been in touch with Sony to get some more details and will bring you them as soon as we get them.

Media Content said that until recently it had been in talks which the board 'reasonably believed' would lead to a reverse takeover, but these have ended and the company 'recognises that it may not have sufficient working capital for the medium term'.
Shares in the group, which peaked at 35 1/4p in 2000, today fell from 0.58p to 0.19p, valuing the group at just over £1m. The company refused to comment further on its statement, saying that it would make a further announcement shortly. But a spokesman for Manchester United said its contract with the Premier League football club had not been renewed when it ran out last month.
Media Content came from the Mike Edelson stable of shell companies named after towns in Cheshire, beginning as Wilmslow. It counted Manchester United's former-chief executive Martin Edwards, football pundit Alan Hansen and entrepreneurs Nick Leslau and Nigel Wray among its original investors. Media Content's recently-appointed financial adviser Durlacher could not say whether any of them remain shareholders.

State upholds Waukesha's firing of school locksmith for tampering with security camera
The Waukesha School District's decision to terminate a long-time maintenance worker for tampering with a security camera in a warehouse full of technology equipment, then lying about it, has been upheld by an arbitrator for the state.
District surveillance video footage shows Keith Jamieson, the district locksmith, taking technology equipment out of a warehouse on Dec. 18, 2012, and then returning to use a broom to move the security camera so that it was no longer facing the equipment.
The district had installed a new security camera in the warehouse after noticing that security cameras in the room were repeatedly being moved somehow to face the wall.
The district terminated Jamieson on Dec. 27, 2012, and then Jamieson, a union leader with the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees, fought the decision by filing a grievance.
Christine Hedstrom, assistant superintendent for human resources, said last week that the district has spent more than $64,000 in attorney fees defending the decision to terminate Jamieson.
Fox 6 first reported the case last week, and aired the surveillance video footage.
William C. Houlihan, an arbitrator with the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission, upheld the district's decision on March 20, according to a letter Waukesha officials released to the Journal Sentinel.
Houlihan notes that the incident "is not a theft case," because the district didn't accuse Jamieson of stealing equipment.
But he said termination was warranted, given that turning the security camera disarmed the security aspect of the camera, an act "compounded mightily by the fact that he was the locksmith, charged with maintaining the security system."
Jamieson had denied ever turning the cameras before, but Houlihan said he did not find it credible that Jamieson had turned the camera just once.
According to Fox 6, Jamieson is now a maintenance worker for St. Mary's Parish in Waukesha.

Buttercup & Hooch's Litter
Pandi Bear & Rambo's Litter
I have, on average, three litters of English Bulldog puppies per year and ensure that my females are not bred more than once per year. I go to great lengths to make sure the puppies are happy, healthy, socialized, and receive plenty of love. The bulldog puppies are raised in my home with my family in a clean & healthy environment, as well as given plenty of attention. In addition to their environments, their bloodline is also very healthy.
I opt to keep some of my own puppies simply because it can be hard to find such a healthy bloodline. My puppies all have great temperaments and are very good with children! Bulldog Puppies are available to go home when they are 8 weeks old!
When you purchase an English Bulldog from me, you will receive a puppy who has had a vet examination, is up to date on shots, has been wormed, flead, and potty trained to paper. The puppy also comes with a one-year health guarantee!
All of my puppies come with AKC registration and have many champions in their bloodline. Champions may be back 4th, 5th and 6th generations depending on litter.
To make sure you can take home your favorite Bulldog Puppy, you can place a $500 non-refundable deposit anytime before the puppies are eight weeks old! If circumstances prevent you from picking up this puppy, you can notify me at least two weeks before the pick-up date to transfer this deposit to a future litter within 12 months.
Please make arrangements to pick up your puppy at least one week before they are available to take home. If no arrangements are made, and if I am unable to contact you by the time the puppy is eight weeks old, I will make the puppy available again.
Please, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or comments you may have!

Minister: 272 Cases of AIDS in Jordan since 1986
Jordan's Minister of Health Faleh Nasser said Thursday that 272 people, including 118 Jordanians, have contracted the AIDS virus in Jordan since 1986.
"Most cases were due to imported contaminated blood containing the virus," said Nasser, quoted by the official Petra news agency.
"Jordan is considered one of the countries least affected by the AIDS virus," the minister added.
He set up a "hot-line" Thursday from the health ministry aimed at "giving advice" to young people on ways to avoid Aids and also for "consultations" for those carrying the HIV virus and their families, Petra said.
The first case of AIDS in Jordan was discovered in 1986. By 1998, a total of 174 AIDS cases had been registered, according officials quoted in a report by Jordan Times then.
Men accounted for 136 cases and women for 38.
Doctors told the paper that Jordan's AIDS pattern had also changed over the previous years despite strict social adherence to religious teachings that ban pre-marital sex as well as homosexuality.
"Unlike in the past, when the HIV virus in Jordan was mainly transmitted through blood transfusions, patients are now acquiring it through drug use as well as homosexual and heterosexual activities," a doctor was quoted as saying.
"Prostitution, casual sex, and sexual intercourse with multiple partners are all means by which AIDS is being transmitted now," he added.
"Like everywhere else in the world, we have an open gay community here," Dr. Sarhan explained.
According to the expert, most of the AIDS patients he had treated had had multi-faceted experiences. "They have had multiple sexual experiences, have practiced homosexuality, and are drug addicts."
Although the AIDS curve had been steady for the last ten years, drug addiction, made possible by rapid social changes and greater openness, was causing the AIDS rate to "shoot up." – Albawaba.com

"We fly. We know it. We ain't too afraid to show it." This is the fabulous motto of Tionna Smalls, author, relationship consultant, and the woman with a plan on MTV's new series "Girl, Get Your Mind Right!" Her mission on the show is to help young women break bad relationship habits, get over the dating drama, and identify and tackle their personal issues by dishing out a healthy dose of her all-out sassy straight talk.
[Related: First Look at the Cast of VH1's TLC Biopic 'Crazy Sexy Cool']
In this exclusive sneak peek, Tionna -- who attempts to help a different girl in each episode -- is on the scene to save the day with swag. Her subject: Alexis, who wants more confidence so she can be that "it" girl. Lesson No. 1: Boobs up, "ass always out," and walk like you mean it. "And then people are like, 'Who the hell is this girl?' You know what I mean? … Swag is all about the walk," Tionna says.
[Related: MTV Greenlights 'Scream' Pilot, Renews 'Snooki & JWoww']
More lessons: Be touchy with yourself and the person you're interested in. "But not slutty touchy," Tionna warns. Also, when receiving a compliment that makes you giggle, laugh leaning back instead of forward; it means you're used to getting compliments, according to the girl-power maven. Hey, it looks like Alexis is catching on quick!
"Girl, Get Your Mind Right!" premieres on Monday, 5/20 at 6 PM on MTV.

Hi folks, I haven't posted on here in a while, and wanted to let you know about this.
The next monthly meeting of the West Jersey/Philadelphia Chapter of the Holistic Moms Network is coming up!
Meeting Topic: How to Have Happy Kids, with Tools You Can Find Around the House!
with Guest Speaker: Amy Childs
Tuesday, May 3 2011
6:00 - 8:00 pm
Collingswood Public Library
771 Haddon Avenue
Collingswood, NJ 08108
Amy Childs thinks that the point of life is to be happy, which she defines as "being connected to and directed by our inner selves." She also thinks that human beings are born knowing how to be happy, but that most of us have this ability squashed out of us by the time we're grown. It then doesn't surprise her much when she glances through the newspaper and is reminded (once again) that our planet is utterly insane, as it is being run by tragically unhappy grown-ups. Today's workshop will be about creating happy lives, and a happier world for our children. Amy asks:
How do we as parents and caregivers foster (or at least not hinder) our children's true brilliance?
What can we do to heal our own damaged ability to find true happiness?
How can we learn to trust children while learning to trust ourselves?
Amy Childs is a Happiness Consultant, working with clients to uncover their inner selves and to live lives that are more fun for everyone. Her three children (now 18, 20 and 23) have been directing their own education for the past 10 years, and have chosen a variety of things for themselves including public, private, cyber and alternative schooling, college and unschooling. She has a podcast called "Parenting With Trust" which can be found at www.whateveramen.com, she leads free conference calls for parents (see www.unschoolingsupport.com) and you can read more about Amy's work (and play – barely a difference!) at www.amychilds.com.
We welcome all area moms and dads - and expecting parents too! - with an interest in natural health, mindful parenting, and green living to visit our monthly meetings once before committing to membership. Our goal is to develop a nurturing, supportive and respectful community of holistic parents. Every meeting begins with full introductions and we always leave lots of time at the end, for Q&A, discussion, and socializing. Children are always welcome; please bring their favorite books, crafts, or quiet toys (no electronic or battery toys, please).
Holistic Moms Network is a membership-based organization as a well as a national non-profit organization. If you'd like to attend all our monthly meetings and participate in all the wonderful member activities we are planning (playgroup, food group, mom's night out, herbal medicine-making, etc.), visit our website www.holisticmoms.org to join now (it's tax-deductible!). Or just bring your checkbook to the meeting and I can help you sign up on the spot! You can check out the membership benefits here:http://www.holisticmoms.org/category/connect/membership/membership-benefits/.
I'm interested, but I'm not "holistic" enough to join Holistic Moms Network.
-Our members come from all walks of life – our mission is community, education, and support. In other words, there is no test!
I'd like to join, but I can't make it to the meetings.
-We have many members who join just for the active, supportive online community; we also have a monthly park day and a monthly gathering just to discuss nutrition and healing with food.
Isn't your group just for families with babies?
-It's true that we have lots of little ones in our community, but we also have older kids, teens, and grown children, and we always welcome more!
For more information, contact Virginia at [email protected] or visit the national non-profit organization's website at www.holisticmoms.org. I hope to see you soon!
Save the dates for our next monthly meetings:
Wednesday, June 8, 2011, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. **A WEDNESDAY meeting!**
One Family's Story of Homesteading in the Suburbs
On Wednesday night, June 8 we will be joined by Megan Fraser and her family. The Frasers enjoyed having a front page article in the Sunday Inquirer then fielded calls from 92.5 XTU Philadelphia's country station, the Nightly News with Brian Williamson and the Nate Berkus Show. Why? They actually grow some of their own food! Megan has always been growing some vegetables but it was a move in 2001 to a large suburban lot (2 acres) that really started her thinking about the best way to spend her time and how to use their property. Inspired by Barbara Kingsolver's fictional "Prodigal Summer" and the memoir "This Organic Life: Confessions of a Suburban Homesteader" byJoan Dye Gussow she planted fruit trees, blueberry bushes and expanded the garden. Then she added chickens and ducks for eggs, slug control and to eat kitchen scraps. Things took a serious turn when she ordered the "meat" chickens. In 2009 they raised two pigs for the freezer and will do it again this year. Her husband and twin daughters took on beekeeping duties last season. Finally, angora bunnies for their fiber and contribution to the compost pile help round out the homestead.
As a stay-at home-mom with three school-aged children, Megan is passionate about food: where it comes from, how it is grown, what it tastes like, and the best and easiest ways to eat it. She believes our relationship with food is both complex (issues like migrant workers, pollution, affordability of healthy food) and simple (like Michael Pollan says, "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.") but that everyone can benefit from a honest conversation about it. As Pollan says, we vote with our forks three times a day.Megan also steals away in her spare moments to spin fiber into yarn, knit and take long walks with her herding dog -- who has been asking for some sheep of his own.
Tuesday, July 5, 2011 ,6:00 – 8:00 p.m. – Decluttering, Destressed, Delighted – open discussion
Are you interested in simplifying your life and living with less clutter? Join us for an open discussion about the challenging process of decluttering and find some of the delightful open space that awaits.

text: Endoscopic Pituitary SurgeryEndoscopic pituitary surgery, also called transsphenoidal endoscopic surgery, is the most common surgery used to remove pituitary tumors. The pituitary gland is located at the bottom of your brain and above the inside of your nose. It is responsible for regulating most of your body's hormones, the chemical messengers that travel through your blood.Endoscopic pituitary surgery is done with an instrument called an endoscope. An endoscope is a thin, rigid tube that has a microscope, light, and camera built into it, and it's usually inserted through the nose. The camera lets your surgeon watch on a television screen while inserting other special instruments through the scope to remove the tumor.Reasons for endoscopic pituitary surgeryEndoscopic pituitary surgery is done to remove certain types of tumors that start to grow in your pituitary gland:Hormone-secreting tumors. These growths secrete chemical messengers that travel through the blood.Nonhormone-secreting tumors. These growths, also called endocrine inactive pituitary adenomas, are removed by surgery because as they increase in size they may cause headache and visual disturbances.Cancerous tumors. These growths may be treated with a combination of surgery, cancer drugs, and X-ray treatment.Risks of endoscopic pituitary surgeryEndoscopic pituitary surgery is a safe type of surgery, but all surgical procedures carry some risk for reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection. Risks and complications that may occur with this type of surgery also include:CSF rhinorrhea. CSF, or cerebrospinal fluid, is the fluid that surrounds the brain, and it may leak from the nose after surgery. In some cases, another surgery may be needed to repair this leak.Meningitis. This is a type of infection occurring in the membrane lining the brain and spinal cord that can occur after surgery. It is more common if the CSF leaks.Damage to normal parts of the pituitary gland. Damage to areas of the pituitary that secrete hormones may require hormone replacement after surgery.Diabetes insipidus. Damage to a part of the pituitary gland that helps control urination may lead to frequent urination and thirst.Severe bleeding. Heavy and persistent bleeding into the brain or from the nose may occur if a large blood vessel is damaged during surgery.Visual problems. The nerves that supply vision are close to the area of the pituitary gland can be damaged.There may be other risks, depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.Before endoscopic pituitary surgeryYou may need to see an endocrinology specialist for an evaluation before surgery. Endocrinologists are the medical specialists that deal with glands and hormones. You may also have your vision checked before surgery.Endoscopic pituitary surgery is usually done under general anesthesia, so you will be asked to stop eating and drinking after midnight on the night before surgery. You may need to stop taking some types of medications that may increase bleeding during surgery. Don't take any over-the-counter medications before surgery without telling your doctor. You may have several blood tests, a heart rhythm test, and a chest X-ray. These will all be checked before surgery and you will need to be examined by the doctor who gives anesthesia.During endoscopic pituitary surgeryThe actual surgery may take a few hours. In many cases, an ear, nose, and throat specialist will work with a neurosurgeon. These steps may take place:The ear, nose, and throat surgeon usually places the endoscope through the nose. In some cases, the endoscope may be inserted through an incision under the upper lip.The endoscope is advanced until the bony wall of the sphenoid sinus is found at the back of the nose.The sphenoid sinus is opened and the scope is passed through to the back wall of the sinus.A small opening is made in the back wall of the sinus.Magnetic resonance imagining (MRI) may be used to make images of the pituitary area using a computer and magnets during the surgery to help guide the surgeons.When the pituitary area is entered, the neurosurgeon removes the pituitary tumor in small pieces.When all parts of the tumor that can be reached have been removed, the endoscope is removed. Some packing may be placed in the nose to complete the operation.After endoscopic surgeryYou may need to stay in the hospital for a day or two. During this time, nurses will help you with any dressings and bathroom needs. You will be able to return to a normal diet as long as you are taking fluids well. You will be encouraged to get out of bed and walk as soon as you are able. While in the hospital, you will be asked to help your nurses keep track of the amount of fluids you drink and your urine output to evaluate pituitary function.Aftercare at home may include:Pain medication to control headaches, the most common complaint after surgeryRestricted activities – no lifting or straining until cleared by your surgeonsFollow-up visits with your endocrinologist and surgeonsRepeat MRIVisual testingIt is important to let your surgeons know about:Any headache that doesn't go away with medicationNausea and vomitingFeverBleeding from the noseWatery discharge from the noseIncreased urination Health Encyclopedia A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Search Health Library

text: CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MACK) today announced results from a Phase 1 clinical study that indicate the novel antibody MM-121 can be combined with standard doses of certain cytotoxic agents for investigation as treatment for patients with advanced solid tumors. The research was presented at the 2013 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, May 31 – June 4, 2013. The Phase 1 study of 43 patients with advanced solid tumors established that MM-121 can be combined at its recommended single agent dose with gemcitabine, pemetrexed, cabazitaxel or carboplatin. MM-121 is a fully human monoclonal antibody that targets ErbB3, a cell surface receptor implicated in tumor growth and survival across multiple malignancies. Preclinical research in several model systems has shown that by inhibiting ErbB3 signaling, MM-121 may restore sensitivity, delay resistance and enhance the effect of certain cytotoxic agents as a combination therapy. "These data serve as the foundation for moving MM-121 into potential Phase 2 studies in combination with these chemotherapy agents in certain tumor types," said Akos Czibere, MD, Ph.D., Senior Medical Director of the MM-121 program at Merrimack. "MM-121 has the potential to complement the impact of several existing standard-of-care therapies and we look forward to further exploring its promise." Sanofi and Merrimack entered into an exclusive, global license and collaboration agreement for MM-121 in 2009. Study Methodology & Results Abstract Number: 2609 Abstract Title: A phase I study of MM-121 in combination with multiple anticancer therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors. Session Title: General Poster Session: Developmental Therapeutics - Clinical Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Presenter: Monica Arnedos, MD, Institut Gustave Roussy, Paris, France In studying the safety of MM-121 in combination with gemcitabine (Arm A), carboplatin (Arm B), pemetrexed (Arm C) and cabazitaxel (Arm D) for subjects with advanced cancer, patients were treated in a dose escalation "3+3" design. MM-121 was administered weekly in combination with these cytotoxic agents to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of the antibody. Doses were escalated until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was identified and/or the combination was shown to be tolerable at the highest planned doses. Secondary objectives included determining the objective response rate, clinical benefit rate, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of MM-121. No MTD was identified for the combination of MM-121 and standard doses of gemcitabine, pemetrexed and cabazitaxel; a MTD of carboplatin (AUC 5) was identified in combination with the recommended dose of MM-121 (40 mg/kg loading, followed by 20 mg/kg weekly maintenance). The two dose limiting toxicities observed in combination with carboplatin were one grade 3-4 prolonged thrombocytopenia and one grade 3 maculopapular rash.

D.C. Lawmakers Expected to Cut Popular Tax Break [AUDIO]
A popular mass transit tax break, which saves the typical New Jersey commuter hundreds of dollars a year, will be cut in half at the beginning of the New Year, unless Congress acts quickly to renew it.
That seems very unlikely because of ongoing bickering and finger-pointing in the nation's capitol.
If the tax break is cut, it will cost many Garden State commuters, who take mass transit, close to $500 a year.
"It's an item in a long list of grievances that many Americans have with how the House of Representatives and the Senate operate," said the Chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee, John Wisniewski (D-Sayreville).
"They haven't taken up the simple bread and butter issue that really affects the lives of ordinary commuting Americans – that's a travesty," Wisniewski said. "My guess is they will ultimately get to it, but with all the other wrangling going on in Washington over debt limits and budgets and the Affordable Care Act, it's hard to know what they're focusing on."
Wisniewski pointed out encouraging mass transit ridership is very important, especially for a state like New Jersey because we don't have the ability to build additional roads.
"We don't have any place left to put them."
The assemblyman said it's never clear what message is coming out of Washington, so what we need to do is make sure commuters understand that our national leaders are aware of this, that they're on top it, that they're going to solve the problem.
"My hope is in the few days left in this calendar year, that both the Senate and the House will be in session in Washington – that they take this up and get it done."

"I bet you're wondering why you're in church," Father Timothy says.
It's an excellent point. We thought we were on a Brooklyn beer tour before this detour into Most Holy Trinity — St. Mary Church that dates back to 1841.
Turns out the German immigrant breweries that flourished here in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn helped establish and support this massive Catholic Church throughout the 19th century. At the time, the area boasted nearly 50 independent breweries, all with German roots.
Father Timothy, splendid in his Franciscan robes, sandals and beatific smile, recounts how suds and foam formed the area's economic foundation. And what an exotic New York City neighbourhood that New Germany was.
'People used to take the ferry over from Manhattan to visit the brewery beer gardens'
"People used to take the ferry over from Manhattan to visit the brewery beer gardens," he tells us.
"They had never seen people drinking in such a comfortable outdoors setting before, especially with women and children as part of the scene. That just wasn't done."
Earlier, our tour began at one of America's most popular craft breweries, Brooklyn Brewery. Some 30 people have lined up outside before its doors open at noon, eager to sample the more than a dozen specialty beers brewed at this former warehouse.
For our part, the seven of us receive a private 30-minute tour of the new facilities, recently expanded to double output to 120,000 barrels annually.
Afterward, we sampled eight of the brewery's offerings, many of which are available in Canada.
There's Brooklyner Weisse, a refreshing wheat beer; the award-winning Brooklyn Brown Ale; and East India Pale Ale, based on a 19th century formula with extra malt and hops to last the eight-month sea voyage from England to India.
Our "Brewed in Brooklyn" guide is David Naczycz, co-founder of Urban Oyster, one of New York City's most creative walking tour companies.
Williamsburg past — and now present — is linked to immigrants and beer
For Naczycz, a city is all about neighbourhoods, and his tours connect visitors to the "history, places and people that make New York special."
For Williamsburg, with its trendy boutiques, vintage clothing stores and hipster-filled coffee shops, the neighbourhood's past — and now present — is linked to immigrants and beer.
We are standing before a three-storey building that once housed one of Brooklyn's flourishing breweries.
"At one point, there were 11 breweries in 12 blocks of this street," Naczycz says, describing today's Meserole St. "They called it Brewer's Row."
He adds: "Before the Germans came, the people drank mostly ales and porters. But the Germans brought lagers that quickly became very popular because they were much more refreshing in the summer heat."
Some of the original buildings remain, but all have lost their connection to the beer industry, and are now home to music studios and a Chinese food factory.
Naczycz explains how the large number of 19th century breweries was a function of the times.
'Beer had to be consumed locally, so you needed a lot of breweries to meet demand'
"Refrigeration, mass production and transportation were all relatively primitive," he says.
"Beer had to be consumed locally, so you needed a lot of breweries to meet demand."
From a peak of 3,500 breweries throughout the United States in 1870, the number of beer makers dwindled to just 80 by 1983. Then, the downward trend reversed itself with a vengeance. This year, the brewery count is expected to top 3,000.
It's time for lunch, and we stop at a local institution, Danny's Pizzeria & Cafe Ristorante for pizza and, what else, beer. This time it's Brooklyn Brewery lager, which we had not tasted before.
This lighter beer matches perfectly with the pizza. Indeed, Naczycz maintains that when early 20th century Italian immigration mixed with the Germany community in Williamsburg, the beer-pizza combination was born.
"It began right here, in this area when the two groups got together to socialize," he says.
Refreshed, we walk by some more former breweries, historic homes and take our sojourn at Most Holy Trinity.
Our tour ends at another neighbourhood institution, Barcade, dedicated to craft beer and arcade games. It prints a daily beer menu, listing some two dozen offerings on tap that come from as far away as Alaska and as near as Brooklyn Brewery. Six dollars for a 10-ounce pour.
Naczycz gives each of us a quarter so we can play Barcade's classic video arcade games such as Frogger, Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers. Then, before departing, he buys us each a beer at the bar. A perfect ending to our tour.

natural spring
I have a natural spring that runs all year long into a swampy area. I would like to create a fountain but am not sure how to do that. Any ideas?
There are more than one type of spring----in order to build a fountain without a pump
You will need and artesian (sp) well---one that gushes up higher than the ground level--
They are rare and often seasonal---a neighbor had the cap off a shallow well ,one spring day--the water shot up 3 feet above the well cap----that would have fed a fountain nicely----But when the water table dropped --the water was well below the cap---

pics added
This is a discussion on a new EVIL has emerged within the Tri-State forums, part of the Regional Discussion category; pics added...
Jay I saw you driving on 17 a couple weeks ago and I have to say the car looks really good, the pics don't do it justice... I still liked the green one the best though, everytime I drove past it I almost crashed cause I couldn't keep my eyes on the road...haha.
Personally I would throw some darker wheels on it, but thats probably just me - I love gunmetal wheels. They looked really good on the green one too before you got the painted ones. Either way though it looks good! Oh and congrats to you guys on the wedding!
Did you lower it since the first pics were taken?
Also, are those 02-03 tailights on your 04 STi? I'm quite curious.
Try not, do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda
the same suspension was in it for both sets of pics- probably just the camera angle. Just lowering springs on STi struts for now.Originally Posted by psychobooe
And yes that is an 02-03 rear bumper and tail lights on an 04.

text: My company is building an addition that called for plaster walls and ceilings. The work was completed about three months ago. The painters recently applied two coats of latex based paint to the surfaces. They are currently working on the trim. We have started to notice "veining" and "alligatoring" of the wall and ceiling surfaces. It appears that this is occurring under the paint. There is no chaulking and the surfaces are solid. The addition has been heated and air conditioned. Neither our painter or the plasterer has experienced this problem before(of course!). I would greatly appreciate any input someone out there may have.


text: Would someone look under their hood and tell me the exact location that the under hood light is connected and where it connects to the wiring harness. My 2007 does not have an under hood light and i have purchased one, but i cannot see a wire where one has been or where one can be connected. My service manual shows it on the drivers side, but all of my previous cadillacs have had it on the passengers side. Thanks, bob


text: I recently bought a 90 for the missus and not being sure when the timing belt was changed booked it into a garage to have it changed. He just called me to say he has stripped it down ready to fit the belt he ordered only to find a chain. The LR is on a 94 plate. All I can assume is that this was an after market installation after the early problems with premature failure of the belts when this engine first came out. Any ideas, unfortunatley I wasn't able to see for my self but I'm confiddnt the mechanic knows what he's talking about. I had a quick search for similar links but didn't see anything.

Ok heres the details
We have a 500 acre cut corn field that is pretty much an island that sits between the missouri river and a slough! And just on the other side of the river there is a huge sandbar where the geese usually roast. And last year we went out there a few times and the field was solid black from geese, pretty incrediable.
Well this year we have decidied to go after them full bore, we bought 4 layout blinds, i bought 7 dozen wingsocks, 36 shells and wanna get another dozen bigfoots. Mite throw in a few dozen ducks and snows.
We are going to have to place the blinds almost directly in the middle of the field, you cant get no where close to that slough cause my calling echos so bad!
Know there will probably be 4-5 shooters, how would you recommend putting the decoys out there???

Binary digital codes are codes which are represented in binary system with modification from the original ones. For ease of data processing and transmission, binary data is represented in various binary codes. Here all Binary digital codes are discussed. Error Detecting Codes and Error Correcting Codes, Weighted Binary Codes: 8421/2421/5211 weighted binary codes, Non-Weighted Binary Codes: Excess-3 Codes and Gray Codes, Reflective Binary Codes, Sequential Binary Codes, Alphanumeric Codes, EBCDIC Code, and ASCII Codes.
Weighted Binary Codes
Weighted binary codes are those which obey the positional weighting principles, each position of the number represents a specific weight. 8421, 2421, and 5211 are weighted binary codes.
Non-Weighted Binary Codes
Non weighted codes are codes that are not positionally weighted. That is, each position within the binary number is not assigned a fixed value. Excess-3 and Gray codes are non-weighted binary codes
Reflective Codes
A code is said to be reflective when code for 9 is complement for the code for 0, and so is for 8 and 1 codes, 7 and 2, 6 and 3, 5 and 4. Codes 2421, 5211, and excess-3 are reflective, whereas the 8421 code is not.
Sequential Codes
A code is said to be sequential when two subsequent codes, seen as numbers in binary representation, differ by one. This greatly aids mathematical manipulation of data. The 8421 and Excess-3 codes are sequential, whereas the 2421 and 5211 codes are not.
8421 Code/BCD Code
The BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a straight assignment of the binary equivalent. It is possible to assign weights to the binary bits according to their positions. The weights in the BCD code are 8,4,2,1.
Example: The bit assignment 0101, can be seen by its weights to represent the decimal 5 because:
0x8+1×4+0x2+1×1 = 5
2421 Code
This is a weighted code, its weights are 2, 4, 2 and 1. A decimal number is represented in 4-bit form and the total four bits weight is 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 9. Hence the 2421 code represents the decimal numbers from 0 to 9.
5211 Code
This is a weighted code, its weights are 5, 2, 1 and 1. A decimal number is represented in 4-bit form and the total four bits weight is 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9. Hence the 5211 code represents the decimal numbers from 0 to 9.
Excess-3 Code
Excess-3 is a non weighted code used to express decimal numbers. The code derives its name from the fact that each binary code is the corresponding 8421 code plus 0011(3).
Example: 0110 of 8421 = 1001 in Excess-3
Gray Code
The gray code belongs to a class of codes called minimum change codes, in which only one bit in the code changes when moving from one number to the next. The Gray code is non-weighted code, as the position of bit does not contain any weight. The gray code is a reflective digital code which has the special property that any two subsequent numbers codes differ by only one bit. This is also called a unit-distance code. In digital, Gray code has got a special place.
Error Detecting Codes
When data is transmitted from one point to another, like in wireless transmission, or it is just stored, like in hard disks and memories, there are chances that data may get corrupted. To detect these data errors, we use special codes, which are error detection codes.
Error Correcting Codes
Error-correcting codes not only detect errors, but also correct them. This is used normally in Satellite communication, where turn-around delay is very high as is the probability of data getting corrupt. ECC (Error correcting codes) are used also in memories, networking, Hard disk, CDROM, DVD etc. Normally in networking chips (ASIC), we have 2 Error detection bits and 1 Error correction bit.
Alphanumeric Codes
The binary codes that can be used to represent all the letters of the alphabet, numbers and mathematical symbols, punctuation marks, are known as alphanumeric codes or character codes. These codes enable us to interface the input-output devices like the keyboard, printers, video displays with the computer.
EBCDIC Code
EBCDIC stands for Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange. It is mainly used with large computer systems like mainframes. EBCDIC is an 8-bit code and thus accomodates up to 256 characters. An EBCDIC code is divided into two portions: 4 zone bits (on the left) and 4 numeric bits (on the right).
ASCII Code
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It has become a world standard alphanumeric code for microcomputers and computers. It is a 7-bit code representing 27 = 128 different characters. These characters represent 26 upper case letters (A to Z), 26 lowercase letters (a to z), 10 numbers (0 to 9), 33 special characters and symbols and 33 control characters.
The 7-bit code is divided into two portions, The leftmost 3 bits portion is called zone bits and the 4-bit portion on the right is called numeric bits.
An 8-bit version of ASCII code is known as USACC-II 8 or ASCII-8. The 8-bit version can represent a maximum of 256 characters.

all good recommendations.
I've wondered about Benilli.... auto. But, in my time, autos always hung up and messed up on ejection, so I have this engrained biased against auto shotguns. Is the Benilli reliable ?
Actually, I like the double barrel I have.... after that, I'm on the AR or the handgun... depending upon what the situation is. Honestly , one reason I like the double barrel, is that I can let both barrels go at the same time for good initial coverage.
