You cannot get it to shift into 6th before 41 mph or more and as soon as it drops down 1-2 mph its back into 5th. Just like some people were reporting from the 12B37 programming, although others reported the initial shift points at 35mph pre and post update.
Had original 12B37 flash done in late May due to letter from Ford FSA. Car started behaving badly around 200 miles after reflash. 6th gear shift point was around 36 mph which I considered too low and was lugging engine. Took car back to dealer in mid July and car was reflashed with later update to 12B37. This time 6th gear shift point is 41mph with light thottle. Closer to 45 with moderate acceleration. I actually believe all shift points were raised from 2-5 mph vs. original flash which suits me just fine as I told the service manager that the car was is too higher gear for ground speed and car was chugging. The last reflash makes the car a lot more pleasant to drive in congested traffic.

Slice Canada goose breast across grain into 1/4 in. strips.
Dip in beaten egg then cover with 1:1 mixture of freshly grated parmesan: bread crumbs,
Cook on skillet 2-3 minutes per side on butter or butter/olive oil.
Do not over cook. Meat should be red to pink inside.
Serve over green spinach fettucini and red sauce. Salt and pepper to taste
Beverage: a nice merlot or old vine zinfandel.
I have found hanging birds up to 3-5 days (depending on temperature, never let temp exceed 45F ) greatly improves texture and flavour. Plus it allows all blood to drain from birds.

Trojans Drop Game Two of the Series Against Stanford, 10-3
April 6, 2013
LOS ANGELES - The USC baseball team hung with the visiting Stanford Cardinal through the first five frames, trading runs and keeping the game close, but the Cardinal pulled away in the sixth and the Trojans were unable to catch up, eventually falling 10-3 in game two of the series at Dedeaux Field on Saturday afternoon.
Trojan starter Wyatt Strahan (Villa Park, Calif./Villa Park HS) threw a lot of pitches early to get out of jams, but was only able to go 4.1 innings, allowing three runs (one earned) on seven hits, while walking five and striking out four.
The Trojans got on the board early, touching up Cardinal starter Marcus Brakeman for a run in the bottom of the first, as Adam Landecker (Calabasas, Calif./Calabasas HS) doubled down the right field line, advanced to third on a wild pitch and was driven on an RBI single to the shortstop by Blake Lacey (Clovis, Calif./Clovis HS).
However, the Cardinal answered with two runs in the top of the second, as Strahan got into some trouble, walking the bases loaded with one out, and two would come around to score on an error by the first baseman.
With the score 2-1, Cardinal, the Trojans wasted no time, as they answered in the bottom half of the second inning, as Garrett Stubbs (Del Mar, Calif./Torrey Pines HS) doubled to leadoff the inning, and Kevin Swick (La Canada, Calif./Loyola HS) singled to put runners on the corners. Bobby Stahel (Needles, Calif./Palos Verdes HS) then was hit-by-the-pitch to load the bases, setting the stage for Timmy Robinson (Huntington Beach, Calif./Ocean View HS), who singled to right field to tie the game, 2-2.That was the end to Cardinal starter Brakeman's day, as he was lifted for reliever Logan James. James got a strikeout and induced a double play to end the inning.
The Cardinal tallied one more run off starter Strahan in the top of the fifth before he was lifted for reliever Brent Wheatley (Villa Park, Calif./Orange Lutheran HS). Wheatley ended any further threat as he got Zach Hoffpauir to hit into an inning ending double play.
The Trojans tallied the equalizer in the bottom half of the inning, as Greg Zebrack (Northridge, Calif./UPenn) singled and Landecker doubled to put runners on second and third, one out. Lacey drove in Zebrack on an RBI groundout to the shortstop.
However, that is as close as the Trojans would get, as they never took a lead, and the Cardinal offense tallied two runs in the sixth, one in the seventh, three in the eighth and one in the ninth to push their lead to 10-3 off the Trojans' bullpen.
The Trojans will look to take the final game of the series on tomorrow (Sunday), as the face off with the Cardinal at 1 p.m. PT at Dedeaux Field.

Sentimental tears flowed freely down the cheeks of former football players as the Phil Shipe Memorial Walkway was dedicated Saturday morning during Alumni Weekend festivities at The College of Wooster
Shipe, who coached football at Wooster from 1949 through 1965, used to make his players do the "bird walk," sing "Good Morning to You" and get the rules of the day every morning at 6:30 a.m. during preseason training camp on their way from the dormitory to the field.
Their trek, though unpleasant at the time, was the focus of the dedication, which was marked by a 15-ton granite rock with a bronze plaque honoring the legendary coach.
More than 50 former players and coaches and their families gathered at the walkway between Lowry Center and Armington Physical Education Center to pay homage to the man who meant so much to so many.
"Coach Shipe helped us to realize that there was more inside of us than we ever thought," said former player Donald Register '59, who was tagged with the nickname "Cash" at Wooster.
"Phil had a purpose," said former Scot football coach Jim Kapp '62, who served as an assistant under Shipe as an undergraduate when an injury ended his playing career.
"He could make you do things that maybe you thought you couldn't do. He would come up to you, look you in the eye and say 'twice as hard.'
" It was his way of getting the most out of us."
Class Of '49 Hands
College Check For
$1.15 Million
WOOSTER -- The Class of 1949, celebrating its 50th anniversary, presented The College of Wooster with a gift of $1.15 million Saturday morning during the 115th annual meeting of the Wooster Alumni Association. A give of $52,150 to the Wooster Fund also was made by the Class of 1974.
The college also presented Distinguished Alumni Awards to two members -- the president of the University of Colorado and a consultant to not-for-profit and volunteer organizations -- Saturday.
The honorees were John C. Buechner, a 1956 graduate who has been president of UC since 1995, and Paul Kendall, a 1964 graduate who is currently active in a variety of volunteer projects.
In addition, Milton Ronsheim of Cadiz, a 1943 graduate, was presetned with the 18th John D. McKee Alumni Volunteer Award.
Former Wooster director of athletics Al Van Wie '52, who was on Shipe's coaching staff early in his career, said, "Phil Shipe was a football coach, a very good football coach, but he was so much more. The word on campus was that if you ever had a problem, you could come and see Coach Shipe."
Ed Arn '31, former director of alumni relations at Wooster, echoed Van Wie's thoughts. "Phil was ... a philosopher and a friend who always offered a listening ear," said Arn. "He was a patient, understanding and loveable guy."
At the end of the ceremony, 30 black and gold balloons, to mark each of Shipe's 30 years at the college, were released while three bagpipers played "Amazing Grace."
Shipe's widow, Pem, said she was touched by the dedication.
"I am overwhelmed," she said. "I can't believe the fellows would do all of this. It's just beautiful."
Ed Hartmann '64 spearheaded the project, following a conversation at last fall's 100th anniversary celebration of Wooster football.
"About 20 of us were involved in the project," said Hartmann. "We just started to talk about honoring Coach Shipe, and things began to fall into place."
The rock came from Rupp Construction and was moved to its current site courtesy of Bogner Construction.
The plaque, which features a likeness of Shipe, was done by Orrville Bronze and Aluminum.
"This monument is the most visible reminder of the legacy of a great man and great mentor, who happened to serve a significant portion of his career as Wooster's football coach," said head football coach Jim Barnes.
"It is a confirmation of the impact an educator and coach can have on young people.
"His legacy places a responsibility on all coaches at The College of Wooster to be more like Phil Shipe."

India's Hyderabad city hurts from Satyam scandal
By Rina Chandran
MUMBAI (Reuters) - In India's biggest corporate scandal in memory, the city of Hyderabad has achieved what it has long yearned for: clamorous media attention and recognition.
Once touted as a rival to Bangalore, for long the first choice of local and foreign software firms, Hyderabad never quite achieved the fame of a Bangalore or Mumbai despite its efforts.
For the 400-year old city, where crumbling mosques and minarets sit amicably by the side of gleaming malls and gated communities, Satyam Computer Services was a showpiece company with which the state lured other local and foreign firms.
Its former chairman Ramalinga Raju, who on Wednesday admitted to inflating profits for several years, was regarded as a true son of Andhra Pradesh state, and called the "Narayana Murthy of Hyderabad," in a reference to the well-regarded founder of larger rival Infosys Technologies.
Now, the "pride of Andhra Pradesh has been hurt," local newspapers rued, its reputation damaged by "India's Enron."
"Hyderabadis are taking it very personally," said R. Prasad, a software engineer at a multinational firm in the city.
"Everyone was very proud of Satyam and of Raju."
Raju was regarded as a close ally of former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, who is credited with the vision of attracting investors and transforming Hyderabad into "Cyberabad" to rival Bangalore, considered the Silicon Valley of India. Continued...

~Averaging $130 a month so far this year.
DH commutes about 430 miles a month and uses about $80 in gas for just work commuting. The rest is spent on all other trips/appointments/visiting/shopping. About 700 miles driven total between both cars including commute.
I never count vacations/road trips in the gas budget. When we travel the gas money is filed under vacation.~03-26-2012, 08:30 AM #25

I started this thread because I would see budgets with 400-500 gas amounts and was shocked. I wouldn't reach that amount if gas was 10 dollars a gallon and that's for 2 cars one of them an old 6 cylinder, I will never grip at the pump again.
Thanks everyone for answering.03-26-2012, 11:02 AM #29
My budget says $80 a month but so far have been able to keep it to $65 the past few months. Work is the farthest I drive, its 6.5 miles. All stops are made on the way home and I'm a super-home-body.
Occasionally a family birthday event will be out of town. For some of those I will skip the event and meet everyone in town after the event for the "rest of the birthday" of cake, ice cream, presents, dinner stuff. I figure its still spending 4 hours or so with the family and birthday person.03-26-2012, 12:17 PM #30
We spend about $350 a month. DH's work is a 6 hr drive out of town - he spends a week there and then a week home. He does a 6 hr road trip each week, but otherwise the car sits while he's at work. I only use my car while he's gone to run errands, all close to home.

Alan Smith was included in the team on Saturday, but surprisingly replaced Mark Viduka up front.
In retrospect, it was clear why Sam wanted him in the team, because you can rely on Alan to give a committed performance, even when he's not particularly playing well.
Alan Smith – we gave everything we had on Saturday
After Joey Barton's criticism of Newcastle's support on Saturday morning, the almost 7,000 traveling Geordies at Ewood Park were little short of magnificent in the way they supported their team. The game against Blackburn turned out to be a cracker, especially in the second half.
Now Alan Smith is hoping for a similar atmosphere on Wednesday evening, when Newcastle face the daunting task of confronting the in-form Premier League leaders Arsenal, who seem to be able to score at will these days.
Smith talked today of the Newcastle United support:
"The fans were unreal at Blackburn – people go on about the Newcastle support but you don't grip it until you're playing for them." "If we go out and give 100 per cent like that, they'll back us to the hilt.â€
"We wanted to make sure we played with passion and pride and everyone saw the reaction from the fans at the end.â€Â "We gave everything we had and I hope that they'll get behind us again against Arsenal."
The Newcastle team will get that support on Wednesday evening, but the players need to reciprocate. Although we played well on Saturday we didn't get anything out of the game, and have taken just a single point from the last 15 available. So it's important we get something out of the Arsenal game, at least to build up our confidence for Birmingham City at home on Saturday. We'll definitely need all 3 points at that game.
Comments very welcome.

I'm sorry but huh?
If I read a book review, I assume the reviewer read the entire thing. If I read a movie review, I assume the reviewer watched the entire thing. And if something is called a game "review", I should damned well be able to assume someone played the entire thing.
Aren't you people getting paid for this? I'd say an integral part of being able to call yourself a game journalist (I usually don't, as the term has too many negative connotations) is that you have more expertise on the subject and, perhaps more importantly, spend more time on games than the average person?
Let me put it this way, if someone plays the Witcher for ten hours, goes onto a forum and posts "this game are the suck", I'd probably fault his usage of the English language, but other than that I'd shrug and go "at least he gave it a try." But he's not a professional, it's not his job to review games. The moment you make that your job, the moment you claim journalistic professionalism, you are held up to higher standards.
Because when push comes to shove, that's what this is about. A journalist's standards. If you do not play the entire game, don't come running to your users with something you claim to be a "review". You haven't played the entire game, then how can you review the entire game? That's patent nonsense. This article is an opinion piece, or an impressions piece, it is not a review.
The Escapist takes its sweet time, being one of the last to review this game, and then brings us a bunch of impressions based on an incomplete playthrough…and you're actually surprised people don't like it? It's an insult both to the professionals who did invest a lot of time before coming to their conclusions and it is deceitful to the readers to call it a review when it really isn't.
But at least Corvus opens by providing some context, that's good.
The fact that you're trying to defend it as such reflects really badly on the standards of the Escapist, you know.
Well, here's more fuel for the fire. After considerable run-around in getting a copy of the game to run successfully on my machine (auth code mixups on the promotion company's end), my preview code expired. Atari graciously forwarded me a full copy to review. I wanted to get something to the Escapist in a timely fashion and completed the article within a week.
This was back when the game was just released. If I'd known it wasn't going to press right away, I would have taken more time with the game.
Anyway, the patch wasn't out then. So no, I didn't run it with the patch.

Calling it an investment opportunity, the LDS Church has bought a 3.76-acre lot on the northeast corner of 400 West and North Temple in Salt Lake City.
A Gastronomy subsidiary, known as SLH NET, sold the land in a deal finalized last month. Terms were not disclosed.
"The land was purchased as a long-term investment with no immediate plans for development," LDS Church spokesman Scott Trotter said Tuesday.
The move follows the church's recent purchase of 13 downtown acres, including a block between 400 South and 500 South and West Temple and Main streets from Sinclair Cos., controlled by oil magnate Earl Holding. Church officials said that acquisition, estimated around $25 million, also is a long-term investment.
Gastronomy's sale of the parking lot just north of the Triad Center will not affect funding plans for a new North Temple viaduct, according to the city's engineering director.
"That really doesn't change the way the special assessment area is structured," John Naser told the council Tuesday.
The city is finalizing plans for an assessment area that would affect four property owners and cover 14 parcels. Naser notes two of the owners, including The Boyer Co., have filed written protests against the assessment proposal.
The city also is establishing a Community Development Area (CDA), covering at least four surrounding blocks, to help foot the cost of the planned $71 million viaduct rebuild. The new viaduct -- crews could begin construction this spring -- is a key cog for a planned TRAX train to Salt Lake City International Airport.
The LDS Church's latest purchase will have no impact on the CDA, which is designed to tap property taxes from the Salt Lake City School District and Salt Lake County, both of which own land nearby.
City officials estimate they can raise $25 million over 25 years through the CDA. But much of that depends on a $100 million development plan from Gastronomy, which still owns the spacious lot directly north of its Salt Lake Hardware Building.
Gastronomy, known for its chain of restaurant, envisions a $65 million office park plus $35 million in new housing. Planners and politicians consider the development paramount for a new northern gateway that one day could greet streetcars zipping back and forth from Davis County.

Bill Gates' foundation puts money on solar-powered toilet
By Bill Rigby
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Bill Gates is betting the toilet of the future for the developing world will be solar powered.
The world's leading private philanthropist handed a $100,000 prize to the California Institute of Technology on Tuesday for its work on a self-contained, sun-powered system that recycles water and breaks down human waste into storable energy.
Gates is focusing on the need for a new type of toilet as an important part of his foundation's push to improve health in the developing world. Open defecation leads to sanitation problems that cause 1.5 million children under 5 to die each year, Gates said, and Western-syle toilets are not the answer as they demand a complex sewer infrastructure and use too much water.
The Microsoft Corp co-founder is looking to change that by sparking new inventions in toilet technology, which he says has not fundamentally changed since the invention of the flush toilet in 1775.
"Imagine what's possible if we continue to collaborate, stimulate new investment in this sector, and apply our ingenuity in the years ahead," Gates said at his foundation's Seattle headquarters on Tuesday. "Many of these innovations will not only revolutionize sanitation in the developing world, but also help transform our dependence on traditional flush toilets in wealthy nations."
His foundation announced $3.4 million in new funding on Tuesday for toilet projects being worked on by various organizations, bringing total investment in its "Reinvent the Toilet Challenge" to about $6.5 million.
About 2.6 billion people, or 40 percent of world's population -- mostly in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia -- lack access to safe sanitation and are forced to defecate in the open, according to Gates.
Last year the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation gave grants to eight universities around the world to help tackle the problem by creating a hygienic toilet that uses little or no water, is safe and affordable and can transform waste into energy, clean water and nutrients. Continued...

Mystery Electrical Connector
1 Attachment(s)
So this is a picture of a random electrical connector that came up on another forum I follow on electric powered home brewing. Can anyone on here identify this connector? I've come up with nothing at all in Google-dom.
Looks like an old-style telephone jack, from 30+ years ago, before they went to the modular jack style. Isn't that a bell in the center?
Agree phone jack. It's not clear in that photo but I think there is even a bell image in the center.
Nice catch - if it had been a snake...
I'll do some more Googling on phone jacks!
If it's still wired in place, there should be four wires (red, green, yellow and black, I believe) on the back.
1 Attachment(s)
And here's the male plug!
Yeah, we had those connectors on our phones.
This thread is making me feel old. :(
If you google four wire phone jack and select images, That exact connector will come up on a flickr account. It is copyrighted and will not me link to it.

Suppliers thathave been locked out of the e-marketplace because of technological barriers can bring their selling business online with hosted software from Trigo Technologies that lets suppliers manage their online channels and interact with e-procurement systems.
The company unveiled the Trigo Enterprise Platform last week and announced its involvement in Ariba's Supplier Hub Program. Trigo is one of seven companies that joined Ariba to open the e-commerce door to suppliers. With software such as Trigo's, suppliers won't have to worry about connecting with buyers. Instead, they can focus on their core business: selling their products.
Whit Andrews, an analyst with the market research firm Gartner Group, says Trigo is filling a need that will increase as more companies buy online.
"There is clearly a need. There is clearly pain," Andrews says. "For better or for worse, supplier enablement is a market the buy-side vendors and e-marketplace vendors such as Commerce One and Ariba essentially ignored until last year."
Trigo CEOTom Reilly says the companywants to address that imbalance, not only by providing a method of connecting with multiple buyers and e-procurement systems, but also by letting suppliers managetheir online channels with the same profitability they do offline.
Trigo is offering the product in an application service provider model, in which companies can get up and running quickly without the time and costs associated with implementing the software in-house.
The Trigo Enterprise Platform is built on an open API and is based on technologies such as Java and XML. It is hosted at a NaviSite data center and is presented with a browser front-end.
The platform supports four software components that not only allow suppliers to connect with a range of buyers and integrate their legacy applications, but also let users track and analyze sales, provide customized catalogs to specific customers and activate alerts when catalogs are published or orders are received.
Other companies offer similar features, "but not as cleanly and with as much automated support," says Laurie Orlov, an analyst with the market research firm Forrester Research. "Trigo supports both the aggregation of content, plus the syndication and role management for multiple destinations."
An e-business report released last week by Forrester and the National Association of Purchasing Management found that while Internet adoption is just beginning, a majority of companies plan to buy online. But the report's authors note that suppliers have a lot of work to do to meet the online needs and expectations of buyers.
The Trigo Enterprise Platform will be available Feb. 1, Reilly says. The cost ranges from $25,000 to $75,000 plus setup fees.

At the risk of you not reading the excellent article from Truth Wins Out linked above, I'm just going to link some of the better* quotes from it:
"The fact they are re-criminalizing homosexuality is (a) their business, (b) it is patronizing for white Westerners to be telling these folks — they are seeing George Soros funded gay groups going into Uganda […] poor kids are being offered money and favors and gifts to have sex. […] By Western homosexuals coming in and trying to get involved in Uganda."
"I can't stand the Southern Poverty Law Center. They are such a hypocritical organization. They don't cover any of the violence that happens to any of the conservatives."
"I can't stand Fred Phelps. I think he is funded by the gays," Harvey said. "I think he is."
When confronted with the fact the message is abstain from sex until marriage was in itself discriminatory to LGBT youth, as most are not allowed to be married in the United States. She said that was untrue. "They can still marry some one of the opposite gender," Harvey said. [sic]
Pardon me while I go have a lie down.

New understanding of how bacteria build their protective cell wall solves persistent puzzler.
Using a series of chemical and genetic tricks to interrogate a dizzying cast of characters involved in the process of building a cell wall, researchers believe they have discovered the hidden identity of a key enzyme involved in flipping precious cargo from the inside to the outside of a bacterial cell.
It sounds like a hardboiled mystery, but it's the results of research published this month in Science from a team led by microbiologists at Harvard Medical School and Ohio State University.
The bacterial membrane is like an overinflated balloon that would burst without the cell wall, a molecular cage that surrounds the membrane and gives the membrane integrity in the face of the great osmotic pressure exerted on free-living, single-cell organisms. The building blocks of the wall are made inside the cell and need to be secreted through the membrane to the exterior to construct the wall where it's needed. The keys to the hidden passageways that export these building blocks through the membrane have remained mysterious, despite repeated efforts to bring them to light.

text: Here is my problem with Romney.Although some have mentioned his state's health care system in place, it is not about whether it worked or not. I don't care about whether it costs more or less. For me, it is about governments role in our lives and the increase loss of freedom.Just today, in Pennsylvania, the state education board is setting new standards on treats and birthday parties within public schools. Another report out of California, has new standards of what could go into a happy meal.We continue to allow, and were told for our own good, laws and continued loss of freedoms.Unless Romney vetoed, and fully vehemently worked against healthcare for his state while he was Governor, he is an appeaser and not even worthy in my book. It's not whether it works or not. It's about governments role in our lives. And I am disappointed on how many it seems would seemingly give Obama more control, if unemployment was lower, or the debt was smaller. That is how I read it.I'll take personal responsibility and freedom over government control, regardless of the outcome. Let the chips fall where they may.

Dr Cox was very professional and answered all my questions.
The Dr. Never came to speak with me prior to my surgery. He also failed to speak to my husband or any other of my family members after the surgery. Absolutely no bed side manner. All the other physicians came to speak to patients and their families, however he did not. This is my third surgery and he was the only one to have had this practice. Very unprofessional.

This was my first time with this provider. I was well pleased with this visit.

Kids' Choice Award Winners
The 2014 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards were held Saturday night in Los Angeles, hosted by "Lone Survivor" star Mark Wahlberg.
The 2014 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards were held Saturday night in Los Angeles, hosted by "Lone Survivor" star Mark Wahlberg.
Nickelodeon announced Wednesday that "Lone Survivor" star Mark Wahlberg will host the network's Kids' Choice Awards at the University of Southern California's Galen Center March 29.
Some got blimps, others got slimed at Nickelodeon's 2013 Kids' Choice Awards held at USC's Galen Center Sunday Night.
Among the slimees were L...
Not only did boy band Big Time Rush nab the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite Music Group at the ceremony on Saturday night (March 31), but they also shot their music video for the song 'Time of Our Life' live from the KCAs. The boys pulled double duty and needless to say, fan interaction and participation were both essential elements of the clip.
At tonight's (March 31) Kids' Choice Awards, host Will Smith was dogged by a creepy, computerized celebrity voice trying to trip him up and throw him off his master of ceremonies game, preventing him from becoming the best KCA host… ever.
Relive the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards with these pictures from the show, including the most memorable moments (Hellooooo! Justin Bieber getting slimed?!) as well as performance shots of artists like Katy Perry. The Kids' Choice Awards are always a fun-filled event, with practical jokes, funny skits, and a whole lot of screaming from fans, and the 25th edition (on March 31, 2012) of the show was no acception.
Katy Perry descended onto the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards stage via an aerial hand tram, gliding from the ceiling to the stage to perform her latest smash hit 'Part of Me.' That's what we call making an entrance. The singer also made a noteworthy exit –after her performance, she learned she had won the KCA for Favorite Voice From an Animated Movie for her role as Smurfette in 'The Smurfs' movie in an off camera announcement.
Good news, Katy Perry fans! The blue-haired (for now!) starlet will take to the stage at the 25th Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
He's either gonna be the coolest dad in the world or he'll have Jaden and Willow saying "DAD, NOOO!"
Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus were among the big winners at the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards, held Saturday night in Los Angeles.

Thu Dec 19 2013

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen's amazing bromance has been well documented—and now it's getting the holiday treatment. The two actors, currently costarring in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Harold Pinter's No Man's Land, have been getting up to the most delightful mischief when they're not on Broadway, and most recently, that entails hanging with Santa. Luckily for us, they're sharing their exploits on Twitter.

text: 2 weeks ago while driving the DTC light came on. I had just filled up so I figured the guy didn't tighten the cap and that's what caused it. After getting home and hooking up my scanner I checked the codes and saw P0452 and P0449. I cleared the codes and sure enough they came right back on before getting down the block. First I tried changing the gas cap which didn't do anything. Then I changed the vent solenoid. Still have the DTC's. Then I changed the purge and canister. The DTC's still wouldn't go away. Finally I changed the fuel tank pressure sensor (P0452) and I still have the damn codes. I borrowed a tech 2 from a buddy and it looks like the the fuel tank pressure sensor isn't getting any voltage which is making me think it's a wiring problem. Does anyone have any insight on this? Does anyone happend to have a wiring schematic for the evap system and the fuel tank pressure sensor? The truck is running fine (still gets 19.8 mpg avg on a 100 mile trip at 75 mph) but this light is killing me. I'm thinking somethings up with the wiring in the back of the truck since the pressure sensor and the vent solenoid aren't far from each other. Any help is appreciated. I really don't want to bring this in for service since it's not a warranty item and I can only imagine what it'll cost to diagnose a wiring issue.

("First Financial"), a wholly owned subsidiary of First Financial Bancorp (Nasdaq:FFBC), pursuant to the previously announced agreement between the parties. At the closing, the Bank sold its branches in Indiana and the associated deposits. First Financial paid the Bank a premium for the consumer and commercial deposits it assumed plus the net book value of the real estate and personal assets associated with the branches. First Financial also assumed the existing leases on 14 of the branches. Flagstar Bancorp's chairman and chief executive officer, Joseph P. Campanelli, said, "We sold approximately $340 million of consumer and commercial deposits and approximately $120 million of government and municipal deposits in the transaction.

"The consummation of this transaction allows Flagstar to focus our resources on the markets where we see the greatest return and growth potential," Mr. Campanelli said. "We've invested significant resources in transforming Flagstar into a full-service commercial bank, and our ultimate goal is to continue to grow our retail and commercial lines of business to complement our strong market presence in national mortgage banking."

Being dependant on oxygen doesn't mean your life is over. I've found it opens doors where I never knew they existed. This blog is to help those who live with oxygen needs. It is also for the spouses, children, and others who help the individuals who are on oxygen to lead a quality life.
Subscribe to LivingOnO2forLife to keep informed...
05/10/2013: My blog has been moved to: http://livingono2forlife.wordpress.com I want to be able to give you more information about Pulmonary Hypertension, Breathing, Scoliosis, & Cardiac Problems in a more organized format. Please sign up to Follow my Blog at my new home so that you will be able to receive updates on when I post. I hope to see you all there!
If you have Facebook, you can come join me for discussing various topics of Living On Oxygen for Life or just get to know me at http://www.facebook.com/livingono2forlife
As a reminder, PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE WHILE USING OXYGEN. Think of your health & safety. I reply to questions within your post on my blog. Be sure to check back here to read them.
Good morning! Today I'm going to share with you what type of oxygen I use and what equipment I have. For me, since I use a high liter flow (5 liters/min), I need to use liquid oxygen. If you will notice the picture to the right, you will see the two metal tank reservoirs. Each of these tanks holds 100lbs of liquid oxygen. I get these tanks refilled every week. That's how much oxygen I use.. 200lbs a week.
I also have a 75lb tank of liquid oxygen that stays in my vehicle for when I go out to run my errands or go to friends. I just use that to drive with or when I'm with my husband, he can lift the big tank out so I can refill my small refillable portable tank. The portable tank when full, weighs only 8lbs. I have a little cart I can carry it around in but I try never to use it unless I go to the mall by myself. (I hate going to the mall! Lots of walking!) My portable has a strap on the top so that whoever is carrying it can just sling it over their shoulder.
The hardest part when someone else is carrying my portable while with me is getting ourselves thinking, where one goes the other HAS to follow! If we don't think that way then one of us is going to lose the oxygen and it's usually me! I sometimes feel like a dog on a leash.
Before I started using liquid oxygen full time, I had an oxygen concentrator. It's an electrical machine that plugs into an electrical outlet in the wall of your home. It intakes the room air, divides out the oxygen from that air, and gives that oxygen to the person wearing the oxygen canula which is connected to the machine.
My oxygen canula within my home is 50 feet long. It's said that it should not be any longer than 50 ft. This way I can walk from one end of my house to the other. I can even walk out into the backyard a way; as long as I don't crimp the canula in the door when I shut it partially.
I have a pretty long day today. I need to make lasanga, clean around here and then we're going to see the movie UNDERWORLD: Evolution. Tomorrow we have a birthday party to go to.

In the 1980s, Xerox Corp. tried to figure out new ways to boost the productivity of its field service staff. So, the company brought in an anthropologist from its famed Palo Alto Research Center to observe how they actually did their jobs. What the anthropologist found startled Xerox executives.
Instead of spending as much time as possible with their clients, the field service representatives hung out with each other in common areas, around coffee pots or in the parts warehouse. Imagine how a Xerox manager would have viewed the situation, wrote John Seely Brown and Estee Solomon Gray in an article about the experience. "Here's 'low-hanging fruit,' easy pickings for immediate productivity gains. Simply reroute the tech reps, cut out the conversations, eliminate the dead time and pocket the savings."
But the anthropologist took an entirely different view. Field service work isn't for loners. It's a social activity, involving a community of professionals. Time spent at water coolers wasn't dead time, but a time to swap knowledge about how to repair machines better. Don't eliminate the conversations in pursuit of corporate efficiency, the anthropologist told Xerox, but expand them to bolster learning and innovation.
Xerox followed the advice. And since then, a number of other firms have also promoted these informal networks within their organizations. They include National Semiconductor, Motorola, the Federal Highway Administration and the city of Chicago. The name for these informal social structures is "community of practice," a term coined by Etienne Wenger, a learning consultant and expert on the topic.
"Underneath the traditional hierarchy of organizations lie these horizontal structures that people belong to informally to share knowledge and solve problems," he said.
The emergence of communities of practice comes at a time when the practice of knowledge management has appeared to stall, in part because of an over-emphasis on technologies to the detriment of learning how people actually share knowledge.
For example, a multinational technology firm once spent $7 million building a best-practice database for its technology consultants, only to find they never used it, nor did they contribute to the database. Writing in the journal, Organization Development Practitioner, Verna Allee, an expert on knowledge management, explained how, in the rush to install technology, the firm neglected to find out how their consultants actually create and share knowledge within their own organization and how that might be nurtured. Allee was called in to fix the problem.
Wenger recommends other organizations hoping to avoid such problems start by asking themselves a simple question: "What should people share in terms of knowledge and why?" He points out that everybody lauds the idea of knowledge sharing, "but the problem right now is that we have too much information."
Knowledge sharing should be based around the concept of a community consisting of people dealing with the same problem, explained Wenger. "That way, you know who you are going to share the knowledge with and whose information is important to you. A community of practice is a way to manage knowledge that involves the practitioners themselves."
Distinguishing a CoP
While the term community of practice (CoP) is relatively new, the concept is quite old. Wenger points out that guilds formed in the Middle Ages were a type of community of practice. So were various apprenticeship programs, and they still are now. Today, CoPs are everywhere, in various guises, at work, school, home and spread out through communities in the form of hobby groups.
But what distinguishes a CoP within an organization from a committee or task force or nonprofit association? Allee wrote that communities are "defined by knowledge rather than by task" and that a community is "determined by the value it creates for its members, not by project deadlines."
According to
The Art of Knowledge Sharing
A growing number of organizations are establishing communities of practice among workers to boost knowledge sharing and learning.

For better or worse, kids have long been fascinated with guns, be it playing make-believe war, imagining themselves as cowboys or practicing to one day be a police officer. Now, with the invention of soft air guns, which have become increasingly popular since their inception in the 1970s, kids can act out their fantasies in a safe and fun way.
A Novel Idea
Invented in Japan in the 1970s, where firearms were illegal but interest in them was still high, soft air guns were created as a way to satiate public interest and allow citizens to experiment with guns in a safe way.
Originally spring powered guns that shot small plastic pellets, soft air guns have since evolved to include gas and electric powered guns as well, all working on the same general principle of compressed gas expanding to force pellets down the barrel of the gun.
Especially popular among 10 to 18 year-old boys, soft air guns today are manufactured into near-exact replicas of real guns. Soft air license company Soft Air USA®, offers guns that resemble popular firearms like those of Smith & Wesson, Kalashnikov, Colt and Beretta.
Greater Power, More Accuracy
In addition to its products' physical attributes, Soft Air USA also prides itself on producing firearms with high power and accuracy. According to Soft Air USA, "People want it to shoot straight and shoot hard."
Given such, the guns that are produced today are of a higher quality than the ones developed nearly 40 years ago. One way in which Soft Air USA has improved the quality of their guns is the addition of a Bax system, which is an adjustable mechanism that holds the gun's barrel in place to make the shot more accurate. Soft Air USA ensures that their guns can hit a target the size of a quarter within ranges varying from 25 to 50 feet away, depending on the type of gun being used.
Fun, Safe and Easy
The soft air industry often finds itself competing with that of BBs and paintballs. However, soft air guns often appeal to kids, or at least parents, because they are notably safer and easier to use than BB or paintball guns. Soft air guns are safer than BBs, given that they shoot plastic pellets, whereas BBs typically shoot lead pellets. There is little risk of getting injured when using soft air firearms because the pellets travel too slowly and are too light to break the skin. Protective eyewear, however, is necessary to avoid the dreaded shooting-your-eye-out injury.
Soft air guns also end up being cheaper and easier to use than paintball guns, which typically require some form of makeshift battlefield, a large space to run around in, targets and padding. With soft air guns, one can simply step out into the backyard for some casual target practice.
Soft Air Extras
For those who do wish to get more involved with their soft air guns and make a game of it, additional soft air accessories do exist, such safety goggles, face masks, vests, holsters, targets, reusable pellets and gloves.
Let 'Em Play
So whether they want to play battlefield, train for the police academy or simply shoot at a few empty soda cans, by using soft air guns kids of all ages can do so safely without sacrificing the look, power and accuracy of a real gun.

Jordan and Will were married at the Beaufort Inn in Beaufort, S.C. on October 12. The bride wore a cap-sleeved satin a-line wedding gown with an illusion neckline, accessorized with a pair of sparkly peep-toe pumps, while the groom wore a black suit, accessorized with a bow tie. Bridesmaids wore long periwinkle one-shoulder chiffon dresses and carried bouquets of garden roses, hydrangeas, and dusty millers. Notice each one was gifted a pair of Kate Spade "putting on the ritz" studs? Guests were greeted at the ceremony with scenic views of Broomfield Creek just as the sun was setting. Bonus: There was also a performance from the First African Baptist Church choir! It was official soon after the vows were read and repeated one after another. The reception began with of course, tons of congratulations at the historic bed and breakfast. A chalkbaord sign displayed the quote, "Here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after as Jordan and Will start their new life. Let's all toast to the new husband and wife!" Tables were decorated with neutral linens, glass hurricane centerpieces filled to the brim with greenery, mercury glass votive candles, and surrounded by cross-back chairs. Not to mention the entire frame tent was draped with fabric and lit with crystal chandeliers. And the mirror panel bar for cocktails! Dinner included traditional Southern fare such as shrimp and grits, mini angus hamburgers, pineapple glazed chicken sliders, and slow roasted prime rib with butter lettuce salad. In case someone needed to take a break from dancing, there was also a comfy lounge with a sofa and two love seats. Dessert was a plenty — pecan tarts and chocolate cupcakes. That was in addition to cake! At the end of the night, the newlyweds exited amongst a sea of sparklers and were off to their honeymoon.

Update on my lift, Is ProCal necessary?
Ok guys update on my progress. The Zone Offroad 3" lift is on as are the 35" Nittos and 18" Fuel Wheels. The thing looks amazing but its not done so no pics yet. I got a bull bar and the new RK Carbon Fiber (fiberglass version)Hood coming.
I drove the jeep expecting this thing to be terrible and to my surprise, it isn't. I honestly can't tell any difference other than it being higher off the ground and the tires riding different than the factory wranglers. The engine/trans/gears are all spot on. I dont need to regear anything and the transmission seems to be shifting right where it needs to, as was before. I do know the speedometer is off a little bit though. According to the GPS and my wife follwoing me, under 40 and im about 2-3 fast than what the speedometer shows. At 50-80 im 5-6 over what my speedometer shows. I also had this verified by a really nice police officer who clocked me at a couple different speeds.
Here is my dilema. I ordered and have the ProCal module on my table, unopened. I just spent $150 on this thing from Quadratec and have no intrest in spending that much money to adjust my speedometer. If I dont use this will I be harming anything? I mean truly bringing harm to my vehicle. I realize some of you are perfectionists and thats ok, I however, am fine just understanding that my speedometer is 5mph off. i would much rather spend that money on more mods.
I know guys jacked up old trucks back in the day and they did fine and this technology wasnt out there then so I am assuming I dont need it but I wanted to ask you professional Jeepers since you have been so much help so far. By the way, this jeep is AMAZING looking!!!!!!!!!
I have a 4" lift and 35" Nitto's and I did use the Pro-cal to adjust my speedometer but if you want to keep yours the way it is you are not going to hurt anything. I also flashed mine for shift points and gears but I am not sure it really did anything or it was all in my head.
The flashed worked, unflashed the trans is all confused and will kick a gear ratio error DTC,
Not gonna hurt anything. Your speedo should read slower than you are actually going, right? If so, then your odometer will show less miles than you will have actually gone so remember that too, for service stuff. My .02 is that the Procal is a neat little device and I am a fan of daytime running lights and it provides that for me too.
Yes Mr Augie Im going faster than my speedometer shows. I never thought bout the odometer so I will have to calculate that. I may just keep it but just sounds so expensive for so little gain.
The price of a Procal is cheaper than the average speeding ticket, not to mention the increased cost of insurance for several years. It also clears codes and has other functions.
It may not be a 'toy' to look good, but it will save frustration, time, and money.
Why not buy one for $100 off of someone on CL or a forum? As long as they've restored their vehicle to factory settings (for selling it, de-modding, etc), you're good to go.
What year do you have? From your post it sounds like you have the Pentastar.
its a 2010, I didn't figure anyone ever sold these to be honest. I will start looking around at that option if I can find one cheap enough. I'd be ok with 50-75 dollars. No worries about a speeding ticket, its only 5 mph so I can remember that, plus its a Jeep, I aint flying up and down the road like i do in the car lol. I go low and HIGH now in the jeep
I have a 2.5" lift and 35" duratracs. Tried without the procal just to see how she drove. Once I used the procal module I felt the money was well spent.
I have decided to keep it. RK Sport just called and gave me free shipping on my new hood so I took that as a sign. My gas mileage has dropped from 16 to 12.5. Not sure this will help that at all but its a cheaper try than a regear lol

text: Hey to all you fellow wheelgunners out there. I recently purchased a Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .44 magnum. True "heavy metal" for sure. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone has put a Red Dot on a Blackhawk for close range hunting. Weaver has a pretty cool looking "rail" that doesn't require any smithing. Has anyone tried it? Also, I am thinking a Millet Red Dot will take the recoil of .44 hunting loads since they use them on HP rifles. Any help appreciated!

Ryan Lochte is dipping his toes into the acting pool.
The Team USA swimmer is starring in two new sketch videos for the comedy website Funny Or Die.
PLAY IT NOW: Countdown To 2012 Summer Olympics: Ryan Lochte - 'I'm Like A 'Bullet' In Water
In the first sketch ("The Olympic Ticket Scouter"), "Star Trek" legend Sir Patrick Stewart appears as an Olympic ticket scalper, who charms Ryan out of his Olympic ID badge with the help of "Games of Thrones" actress Maisie Williams.
After scoring Lochte's badge, the sneaky pair sell it to an unwitting Simon Pegg (an alum of the 2009's big screen "Star Trek"), who ends up in a Speedo on the starting platform at the Olympic pool.

The second sketch, titled "Peeing in Pools with Ryan Lochte," pokes fun at his recent revelation that he has, indeed, peed in many a pool.
"The way I see it, the pool is the biggest and the most expensive toilet, and it's all mine," Lochte says in the video. "That's the only time I allow myself to pee... I hold it in until I get to the pool."

A lightweight laptop at just more than 4 pounds, it measures 1.2 inches thick and offers a sleek and attractive profile. Sharp provides a weight saver (a lightweight plastic insert) to replace the optical drive and lighten your load -- an option if you really need to shave a few ounces off the unit.
With the machine turned off, battery recharging takes 2.8 hours, which seemed lengthy to me. It takes 6.1 hours if the machine's on. Be sure to get the optional backup battery if you want to reach the end of a DVD on a long flight. With standard use, the lithium-ion battery gives almost three hours of power, but playing a DVD will reduce that to just more than an hour and a half. In fact, the operation manual instructs users to connect the AC adapter before viewing a DVD.
I gave it a shot without the adapter, and after a couple warnings, the computer stopped playing Lost in Translation with 15 minutes of the film left to go. I got the movie to start again, but the computer shut down for good as the credits were rolling. Keep in mind this movie is one hour and 42 minutes long. You may get through a Disney movie, but you can forget Lawrence of Arabia. The picture was a bit jerky, and while audio isn't shabby through the headphone jack, the speaker is located on the laptop's bottom and sounds tinny externally.
The computer was good about alerting me to available wireless connections. My luck ran out, however, after my neighbors discovered my efforts to make use of those wireless connections. Regular Joes and nearby businesses updated their security and locked down their networks.
I found the keyboard responded well to a light touch. If you're heavy-handed though, you'll notice the pad underneath giving way just a bit -- a little disturbing in terms of sturdiness. The arrow keys have a couple of blank areas to make up for slight slips of the fingers. The touchpad -- pardon me, that's glide pad -- has a left and right button so you feel right at home with the usual left- and right-clicking. I blame my light touch for occasional skips of the cursor. Otherwise, it served me well.
The 12.1-inch XGA low-reflection TFT LCD monitor gives a crisp display with a resolution of 1024 x 768. The AC adapter tended to slide itself out of the computer on occasion, so it's a good idea to watch for that. The keyboard gave me ample space, but as most laptop keyboards tend to be, it's intended for right-handed users, offering slightly more room on the right side. An external microphone jack is also included. It's possible to connect to an external TV, monitor and audio speakers. The built-in wireless antennas are a nice addition.
The unit originally sold for about $1,400 with the CD/DVD-RW drive, two USB ports, an IEEE 1394 connector, PC card slot, 1.53 GHz AMD Athlon XP-M processor and 802.11b built-in wireless networking.
Altogether the Actius AV18P is a swanky number with a few quirks, but is packed with features that make the price worthwhile.
