SLIDESHOW: Seafair Clowns giveaway school supplies and lots of smiles at Roxhill Elementary
For the 9th year now the Seafair Clowns have conducted their School Supply Giveaway and Friday September 6th was the day for students from White Center's Roxhill Elementary.
The 450 students at the school got a visit not just from the colorful clowns but from Beth Knox with Seafair Chief Gregory Dean and the Seattle Fire Department, Police Chief Jim Pugel and the Seattle Police Parking Enforcement, Lori Matsukowa of KING TV, and others were there to pass out school supplies to the students.
Every student, along with a package of school supplies was given a backpack this year too.
The event was made possible by Gary Merlino Construction, Stoneway Concrete and their affiliated companies (their 8th year participating) and by donations from their employees, suppliers, vendors and South Park business all wanting to give back to their local community.

The tumultuous welcome for François Hollande outside the Ahmed Baba library was entirely genuine; there could be no doubting the warmth shown towards the French president on his first visit to Mali after sending in the troops.
Women in particular repeatedly stressed their relief in the deliverance from the Salafist version of sharia which stripped them of their basic rights and stipulated their daily lives, private and public.
The thousands who gathered to meet Mr Hollande had swapped the dark, oppressive clothes they had been forced to wear and put on their most colourful dresses. One rushed through the security cordon to hug him, others around her were taking part in a special dance in his honour.
Watching with approval, Hania Kalbati, a 24-year-old teacher, said: "It is very difficult to explain how difficult it was, we had to watch everything — from what we said, to the way we walked, to what we wore. We are glad all that is over."
But it is uncertain how long this newly rediscovered freedom will last.
Mr Hollande's previous stop was at the mosque of Djingareyber, an architectural masterpiece made out of mud 700 years ago. The area, normally busy, was sealed off by French armoured personnel carriers and about two dozen hand-picked local dignitaries were lined up to meet the president.
Khalif Mualam Traore, an imam, accused the jihadists of twisting Islam, "beating people for no reason, getting things wrong during prayers".
Umar Sekou, a hotel owner, claimed that the fighters, many of whom were foreigners from Arab countries, encouraged sectarian division, treating the Arab residents favourably, reserving their cruellest punishment for the blacks. But asked whether, in their eyes, the jihadists got anything right at all, both were quick to agree that they were correct in demanding women cover up, and said stricter regulations on what women should be allowed do outside of the home were also long overdue.
It is to be hoped that France, and other Western countries now taking a more active interest in Mali, will at least try to ensure some semblance of equality for women is preserved. But we know that is highly unlikely.
In 2001, after the fall of the Taliban, Laura Bush and Cherie Blair proclaimed a brave new dawn for female emancipation in Afghanistan. Subsequently, women encouraged to enter public life by American and European officials were murdered and hard-won rights were clawed back. This drew little more than disapproving noises from the West.

This book includes information on the equipment and materials you'll need for weaving and instructions on doing the basic techniques that you need to know to complete your own tapestry.

A whole new world of weaving opened up when we made our first no warps to weave in bracelet. Using the No Warp-Ends Kit you'll only have two bracelet ends to finish, making this a fun and easy project that's perfect for beginner.
Your piece will be just as perfect as the ones you see in the picture. These bracelets are fascinating to look at and fun to wear. Make one for yourself and one for a friend.
Fast, easy and fun to make. Keep one and give the other away!
The core of this thread is silk fused with real gold. Each ply is comparable in thickness to Coats & Clark's cotton/poly sewing machine thread.
These were purchased these from a very reputable weaving house in Kyoto that has been out of business since the 70s. Once this inventory is gone, it is gone. This is quite possibly the last real gold fused thread you will find.
This gorgeous gold thread is perfect for weaving, kumihimo, embroidery and any other craft that needs a kick of beautiful gold!

Bringing their holiday season in London to an end, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale left their UK home en route to Heathrow International Airport today (January 4).
Enjoying some all-important family time, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took their sons to the park at Primrose Hill in London on Sunday (December 23).
The multi-talented mama kept warm in a long trench coat and fedora, as she took a turn on the swings with her two boys, Kingston and Zuma, while their musical dad looked on.
Getting a jump on the day, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took their son Kingston to school in Studio City, California this morning (December 21).

Do a search in the NC search bar for thinning, shedding, losing hair, curly girl, conditioner, scalp, whatever combination of those words you like. See how many threads you get with women asking this same question because they're having the same experience and wondering if the cause is their curly girl regimen. I'm not saying it is or isn't, but if people are asking, it can't be for no reason...
For what it's worth, I've lost a lot of hair since trying to go curly girl in january too. enough to the point that the thought of it makes me sick. my hair is important to me.
Go with your instincts, not what other people tell you. curly girl doesn't take into account that everyone's scalp is different. just like everyone can't use scented body wash because some people get rashes and allergic reactions, not everyone can use the same methods to clean their scalp. Some people's follicles get clogged really easily, whereas I've seen other people wash their hair once a month and it's thick and thriving. Curly girl is not for everyone. NOTHING works for EVERYONE.

Better than cotton briefs...
By: jjangoo
This was my first expensive underwear purchase and I will never go back to cheap, cotton underwear again. These briefs stay warm and are much more comfortable than a pair of cotton boxer briefs. It has great breathability and deal much better with my sweat. I primarily wear these at work, for hiking and the gym. I will be buying many more pairs in the future.

great product...
By: chowellski
I understand that anything over $10 for a pair of underwear sounds ridiculous but you need to try these out! They are way more comfortable than any pair of cotton blend briefs on the market. They also are great because they wick the moisture away and dry fast, just in case you were wondering. They also hold up extremely well compared to other competitors.

Looks good and feels great...
By: cigary43
Mens underwear fashion is en vogue and who wants to wear those BVD's that look like you bought them from the Dollar Store..cmon man! These are super comfortable and wash and wear like a dream...they adjust to your body and that's a major plus as we all come in different shapes and sizes. Trust me...get a pair.

Unbelievable comfort!...
By: mikektf
I was skeptical about purchasing these, thinking to myself that I just wasted $20.00 on a pair of underwear! I couldn't be any more wrong! These are the best purchase I've ever made! They are super comfortable, they DO wick away moisture and they don't ride up at all! I'm am going to order many more very soon!!

Brain-dead pregnant woman in Texas removed from life support
Following a Jan. 24 court order, a Fort Worth hospital two days later removed a 33-year-old brain-dead pregnant woman from life support.
Marlise Munoz, who was 14 weeks pregnant when she collapsed at home in November and was deprived of oxygen for up to an hour, was being kept on life-sustaining machines at John Peter Smith Hospital against the wishes of her husband and parents.
Hospital officials said they could not remove her respirator because of a Texas law that prohibits doctors from withdrawing "life-sustaining treatment" from pregnant women.

E85 vs 87
My Cherokee now has over 12k on it. Did a test of Gas mileage of E85 vs. 87.
Up here in MN the difference is .90 a gallon
Started with an empty tank. As a sample test did 4 Fill-ups of E85.
I used Fuelly for recording of my mileage
Lost about 4.5 MPG.
Using a spreadsheet. At .90 a gallon, still come out ahead using E85. Would save about $4.00 a tank full.
For right I have decided not to use E85. It is hard to find when you are on the road all the time. Don't want to mix.
Anyone else tried E85?
It runs out to fast don't even bother buying it anymore
Re: E85 vs 87
Re: E85 vs 87
Why are you running E85 in a non Flex Fuel vehicle? That is not smart. Your fuel system is not designed for that stuff.
Re: E85 vs 87
I use 100% gas vs. the 10% ethanol (E90) that is standard at most if not all stations in Illinois. Several stations offer 100% gas in my town in central Illinois.
It will range between .10-.12 cents more per gallon than 87 octane E90.
I get much better gas mileage with non ethanol gas.
There is a net savings on each fill up about 4%.
Re: E85 vs 87
From the owner's manual. Pertains to both 4 and 6 cylinder engines.
E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles
Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with gasoline
containing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher
ethanol content may void the New Vehicle Limited
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85
fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms:
Operate in a lean mode.
OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.
Poor engine performance.
Poor cold start and cold drivability.
Increased risk for fuel system component corrosion.
To fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with
E-85 perform the following:
Drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer).
Change the engine oil and oil filter.
Disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset the
engine controller memory.
More extensive repairs will be required for prolonged
exposure to E-85 fuel.
Re: E85 vs 87
10% ethanol equals E10 not E90.
EXX the number is the percent of ethanol in the mix.
E85 is 85 percent ethanol. Should never be used in a non Flex-Fuel engine.
Re: E85 vs 87
Re: E85 vs 87
Wow...I was wondering if the 3.2L was FlexFuel...guess not! Good to know.

Video games for very young girls --ages 6-14: Another new market
Ubisoft, which develops, publishes, and distributes video games such as the forthcoming "Assassin's Creed" and numerous action games based on Tom Clancy novels, just released the Imagine line of games for young girls. Very young girls, ages 6 -14. And no, they won't be about playing the role of a master assassin, as players of "Assassin's Creed" will.
The graphics are colorful and cartoony, and reflect a "casual game" design sensibility. They're playable on the Nintendo DS systems.
In essence, they're simple role-playing simulations. Imagine Animal Doctor, for example, lets girls play vet and treat animals (see screenshot below). Imagine Babyz lets them play babysitter—for up to six kids!
Yes, targeting gradeschoolers and tweens, and especially girls, to hook them on games is a good strategy for expanding the video-game market. But these games seem like they'd also be more than appropriate for boys. While encouraging girls to use their problem-solving, resource-management, and hand-eye coordination skills via these video games is a terrific goal, why not market them to boys, too? Yes, I understand that the idea is to focus on girls with the Imagine line, but it does make sense for consumers to also consider these brightly designed titles as gifts for boys, too — as an alternative to other types of games — and as skill-teaching simulations.

Britain's Got Talent superstar Susan Boyle is apparently more eager than ever to bag herself a bloke after she kissed actor James Cosmo, and evidently enjoyed the experience!
Shy Susan shared a kiss with James on the set of her debut movie The Christmas Candle, in which she and James play a husband and wife.
Speaking to The Sun's TV Biz, Susan said, "I want to find a man but it's hard with all the travelling I do.
"I really want to start going on dates and I've asked my friends to set me up with a good man.
"If they can find one, I'd like to settle down one day."
The paper adds, "Susan, 52, was originally only meant to be performing on the film's soundtrack but was asked if she wanted to make a cameo.
"Producers were then so impressed with her acting ability they gave her a bigger role — church warden's wife Eleanor Hopewell."
Of working on the film with James, Susan said, "I have my very first husband — which is very exciting. It's been a long wait.
"I had to kiss him, too, as we had a kissing scene. It was my first on-screen kiss. It was lovely.
"I didn't know about the kissing scene when I signed up, but I wasn't complaining.
"I won't take this any further in case I embarrass him."
Here's the movie's official synopsis…
THE CHRISTMAS CANDLE is a timeless and inspirational story based on the novel by bestselling author, Max Lucado.
Nothing out of the ordinary ever happens in the small village of Gladbury — except at Christmas. Legend has it that every twenty-five years an angel visits the village candlemaker and touches a single candle.
Whoever lights the Christmas Candle receives a miracle on Christmas Eve But in 1890, at the dawn of the modern age, all that is about to change. With the arrival of David Richmond, a skeptical, young minister, Gladbury's humble candlemaker, Edward Haddington must fight to preserve his family's legacy.
When the Christmas Candle goes missing, the miraculous and the human collide in the most astonishing Christmas the town of Gladbury has ever seen.
The film is due to hit cinemas in December, but for now, here's a look at actress Samantha Barks filming a scene…

My 10 month old kitten likes to run rampant through the house and at night likes to attack feet while we are sleeping.

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
This is common play behavior. Your kitten is bored. Buy a cat tree, more scratchers and toys. You can play a cat sitter dvd on silent on a TV for your cat at night. Also, do not give him/her any attention while foot chasing, or it may encourage the kit. Two days ago my four-month kitten smashed a nice frigerator magnet into pieces, and yesterday, a plastic bowl with wildflowers in it (that I had no idea was even breakable). Did I yell, no. I have three other cats that will sometimes play with her, but she has torti-tude. The answer is... getting her spayed in two weeks. If your cat is not neutered, it will definitely calm him down, so make an appointment with your vet if you have not already done so. Meow to the world ^_^

I am 30 yr old female, weight is 135,don't smoke and don't drink. My left legs hurts really bad. Started numbness and tingling in butt from sitting on chair at computer. Then pain was in the crease of bottom of left butt cheak. As time went on the pain went further down. It hurts now to sit on my butt on the chair and pain, tingling and soreness goes down my whole left leg now. Been happening for about 4days now. When i stretch out my calf it feels like the muscle been stretched too far already. I have not gotten hurt or did any thing to hurt my leg.
Sometimes i get sharp pains in my leg. There is no swelling,reddness or skin that feels hot. Although sometimes it feels warm on the inside. It hurts to push on certain areas on the back of my thigh and down. Skin feels very sensitive to touch. Like having the flu.
I was diagnosed w/3 leaky heart valves and i am taking propranolol for high heart racing. I was soooo scared that i had a blood clot in the leg that i rushed to the ER and they looked at it and said they had no reason to suspect me to have a clot. They did NO testing but they did stretch my leg and it did not hurt. But certain other ways i stretch it makes my pain much worse. They think i just did something to my hamstring.
It does hurt to squeez the back of my thigh and i read on the net that doing that and if there is pain then it's a blood clot.
PPPPPPPleeease HELP ME!!! My dr. wants me to wait for one week before examining it. Told me to take IBBproffen and sit on a donut coushin.
Does that mean that if iam better within that week then there was no and is no clot?
Could i have a clot?
Sometimes it hurts to walk or even sometimes when resting it begins tingleing and aches and i keep having to move it around.
Could someone pleassse tell me everything about blood clots!!!!
I had several other family members look at my leg and they said it looks and feels normal.
What could this be?
Ibbproffen only helps for a short while.
What are some thing to watch out for?

It sounds like you know the symptoms of blood clot--swelling, pain, redness. Some have no symptoms however. If you believe you have one insist on a dopplar ultrasound and a D-Dimer blood test. Those are the diagnostic tools to know. I hope you do not have one and pray it is a hamstring.

Today it seem to hurt as bad. Now if it were a clot would feel better later or would it be continuous pain that last until your treated for the clot?

Don't fool around guessing about what this might be. None of us are physicians and even physicians can make a wrong diagnosis. Sharon has given you excellent advice about seeking a doctor who will send you immediately for an ultrasound to rule out the possibility of blood clot. If you don't have a personal physician go to the ER of a large regional hospital in your area. It you mention blood clot they should order an ultrasound rather quickly.

Absolutely, you deserve to have it checked.
I'm only on this board because my hubby has a clot and didnt have symptoms.
However, the thing you describe with sitting on the chair etc is very much like Sciatica pain.
So I would say get it all checked out, but look for other possibilities as well.

Iam on my 4th blood clot right now. Only with the 1st blood clot did I have the redness, swelling etc. I ask for a ultrasound when Iam having alot of pain. This last time they looked at my leg and said...You have no signs of redness or pain. I told the nurse..I KNOW what it feels like ..and SURE eneough I have a clot from the groin to my knee cap and behind my knee cap, with NO redness or swelling. So DO NOT always go by the looks of the leg. Also after my 1st clot I had lots of pain in my rear and down my leg also. When I would sit, I would prop up only my bad leg on a chair and leave my good leg down. Almost every time I would sit I would do that. Come to find out the reason I was having pain was..I was putting a strain on my sciatic by putting just one leg up..

I had my first clot in 1997 when I was 23, and had another in 2000. My leg was left with residual swelling and discomfort but I havent had much trouble with it since. I was diagnosed with Factor V Leiden and basically discharged from the outpatients clinic after the DVT had been dealt with. I'm currently in pain again and totally agree with you, Janinerenee. If you've had one before you do know what it feels like. I had the pain in my lower back, then my left buttock, then down the back of my left leg. I went to my GP who told me it was Sciatica and sent me away with pain killers. It just got worse and worse until I was in agony, and it had staretd to affect my vision. It was at that point my Dad finally carted me off to the hospital and I was told had I left it a few days longer, it could have killed me. The clot was huge and in my Femoral vein on it's way to my heart. I was told by the nurse I saw that if it had reached my heart, it would have caused a potentially fatal heart attack. I had a venogram (not pleasant, but a necessary evil) which didn't confirm anything as the consultant couldn't get the dye into my vein (after 5 attempts at stabbing me in the ankle with a needle, I asked him to stop). A doppler ultrasound scan confirmed the presence of a clot and I had to stay on complete bedrest in hospital for 7 days whilst on Heparin and then Warfarin. It cleared up but left me with a lot of residual swelling, and I had to make regular trips to the Anticoagulant clinic for checks on my INR. I've been off warfarin now for a good few years, since around 2001 and although I've had the swelling and pain on occasion, I never had a reoccurrence (aside from that one incident in 2000). Now, I have just started taking "Cerazette" a Progesterone only mini pill, which I was assured was safe for me, given my condition. Now, 2 months after I began taking it, I have the classic symptoms of another clot. So, I'm off to A&E tomorrow to get myself looked at. If you have the slightest suspicion that you may have a DVT or clot anywhere in your body, please, please do not hesitate to go along and get it checked out. Any Doctor woth his/her salt will be happy to examine you and put your mind at rest or refer you onto someone who can treat you speedily. Fingers crossed all goe well tomorrow and I hope you people aren't in a lot of pain. I know how bad the pain can be with a blood clot.

I have problems in my left leg as well & I was wondering if it was a blood clot or not. My pain started in my back, it is related to a spirinx pushing on the nerves down myleg. Then to my bum. I'm to the point now where I can't sit for any length of time.In fact, I've had this bum pain for 5 months now & the anti-inflammatories aren't taking care of it. Now the pain is down the outside of my left thigh. I am worried, as I am not in my country at the moment. I do not know what to do?? Can you help, do you have any suggestions/

I just went to the doctor today because I feared I had a blood clot. No Pain but lots of swelling in my calf and into my theigh. He immediately sent me to have a sonogram done on my calf and the results were negative. I'm thrilled about that BUT I'm just not convinced. My leg (calf) is still swollen and from time to time my ankle and foot goes numb/tingly. Obviously something is not right but what else can it be? Would the sonogram have missed something maybe? I'm typically not a worry wort but this time I just feel like something isn't right and I'm not sure what my next move needs to be. (because I'm a runner of sorts I think everyone assumes it's because I've done something while running) Any thoughts or suggestions???

Even after a negative scan, you still need to be vigilant. My first ultrasound was negative and my PCP diagnosed a muscle tear in my calf. But a week later, the swelling was greater and had spread to my thigh, further decreasing my already limited mobility and increasing my pain.
Long story short, a subsequent scan ten days later showed extensive which included what my PCP later called the "mother of all clots" in my femoral vein.
You may have to scream bloody murder but if your systems persist, insist on another scan (they are not always 100% accurate!) or a better diagnosis. After all, it's your life and health.
FYI--prior to that, I have been the picture of health for my entire life and that, plus another clot related incident last year, completely flabbergasted my long-time PCP. But I've recovered well and to look at me now you'd never know this happened.

Susie--If you did get a clot that long ago, it will already have stabilized in your vessel and not be as dangerous for breaking loose unless you have clotted recently--w/in the last 2 months or less.
Jackie--Blood clots feel different to different people and depending on the vein and location w/in the leg w/in which the clot forms. Some people feel nothing at all until they have a life threatening pulmonary embolism--PE. Others have swelling discoloration AND/OR pain in the leg. For me--it started feeling like a bruise in my inner thigh that I only felt when I walked. The next day, it was like I was kicked by a mule in that same spot--but again, it only hurt when I walked. The next day--it was searing pain up and down my inner thigh and a feeling in the mucle as if it were in a major cramp w/o the contraction of the muscle. Some people have the swelling and no pain or discoloration and no ther symptoms. My later calf clot felt like the leg would cramp and was very heavy when I stood up. There are many stories on this site where people describe their own experiences to give you other decriptions to look at. I don't recall anyone saying it was a throbbing sensation, although that feeling of blood running down and the heaviness, I suppose someone migh communicate in this way--not sure.

i have some of the symtomns described above. here is my problem and i need to know if i should see a physician. in the area of my left thigh between the knee and the hip, i have had pain everyday. a couple of years ago my physician gave me a cortozone shot for the pain, but never diagnosed it. she didn't know what is was and didn't take the time and test to see. not even an ex-ray. the pain is worse at night and keeps me from sleeping. it also hurts all during the day. i have noticed some swelling because it looks bigger than the right leg when i compare both legs. any suggestions of what it might be?

I went to the Drs on wed because my ankle was swollen up like a balloon from monday and my leg was extremely painful and also swollen up. I had a motorbike accident on this leg (broken tibia and fibia, compound fractures on both) when i was 18 (I am now 42).My dr sent me to the DVT clinic at our local hospital,were they did blood tests and a scan on my leg.Because my leg was too swollen,the scan could not show up anything at all.So i was then put on fragmin injections (which i take daily into my lower abdomen) and given a support stocking,to be told to come back in 5 days. So in 5 days i went back,to have another scan (in this time my leg had gone down immensely,but still pain) to be told once again that it is not possible to see it,and this could be due to the factor of my broken leg)I am now awaiting a venogram,and have been sent home to continue the fragmin injections. I know this sounds stupid but i do not like needles at all and have a huge phobia with them (my husband is actually doing the injections for me,as i would never ever be able to do them)i am getting seriously worked up about this venogram and when i explained this to the nurse she just said "oh its nothing".How can she say this when she as never ever had it done".Im so scared,can someone please tell me what will happen and if it will hurt? Thanks

I also had pulmonary embolism with NO apparent clots/pain beforehand. Eventually developed a severe groin clot (a few weeks after the PE) and with that, too, NO pain or swelling or redness beforehand. The symptoms after the clot hit, however, were severe: Extreme pain in the groin area, combined with the inability to put ANY weight on the leg. Walking on it was impossible. After treatment with heparin I later used crutches and then was able to walk after about 2 to 3 weeks. It was stiff and "full" feeling for a while longer, and then although fairly back to normal, couldn't completely kneel in a squat position on that leg for many years afterwards. Wearing a compression stocking helped. It's been 15+ years for my clot(s) and PE... and I haven't had any others. I still should wear the hose, but mostly don't (a pain to put on and off.) Good luck to all who go thru this!

I would also contact your Dr to have a doppler done or visit the ER.
I am new to the forum. I'm a 27 yr old female who was recently diagnosed with a DVT in my lower right leg and found out yesterday I am positive for Factor V Leiden. My blood clot was found on a trip to the ER for a rash/bug bite. I mentioned cramping in my leg and the Dr was more concerned with that than my rash. A doppler was ordered the next day and sure enough I had a blood clot.
Just for the peace of mind I would have it checked out asap.

I have just come back from a very long journey and sat on a plane for 8 hours. I had a big itchu soft lump on my knee for a day, and then after a day it was fine looked a bit bruised. now there is there same thing on my right buttock, it looks and feels bruised, hurts if i touch it. Could this be a clot?

Another reason not to buy cheap axles
I had posted previously about the leaking shaft seal I had on my passenger side front axle. After replacing the seal twice, I finally brought it to the dealership, thinking that I might be butchering the seal when I installed it, but also thinking I probably needed a new axle. They determined it was the aftermarket axle that was causing the leak. I bought the car used, and suspected that the driver side front axle was an aftermarket axle as well, and knew that I'd probably be replacing that before too long. As luck would have it, the outer boot on the drivers side axle got a tear in it (less than 5000 miles after I replaced the boot with an OEM boot). So, being the expert I've become at pulling front axles, I tore into things to replace the boot. I decided to replace the inner boot as well, so I just cut the old boots off. Unfortunately, the OEM inner boot didn't fit the aftermarket axle I had. So, that brought me to the inevitable purchase of an OEM axle. So, in addition to the aftermarket axles not having the right diameter shafts, which lead to leaking shaft seals, good luck finding boots that fit them. I bought a new GKN Loebro (OEM) axle from Pelican Parts for about $277.00, and got free 3 day shipping. At that price, it most certainly is not worth buying the crappy aftermarket axles, particularly in light of the multitude of problems you'll sooner or later (more likely sooner) have with the aftermarket ones. If you're selling your car, and don't mind dumping a problem onto a buyer, maybe it's okay to use an aftermarket axle. Otherwise, you're just guaranteeing yourself a headache and a lot of wasted money by buying the cheap crap.
Just thought I'd pass that on for anyone who's facing an axle replacement.
LarsS, You are 110% correct!:thumbsup:
The 1st axle (pass side) I replaced with a DSS (Chinese):banghead:, it caused too much vibration, however it didn't leak. The 2nd one was a reman A1CarDone, after replacing 2 seals it still leaked:ben:. BTW the gear oil in the diff smells horrible! Now I have a GKN Loebro (OEM supplier). Verdict-I saved no $$ going with cheap parts.
I am going to mic up both axles once I pull the old one out, I'm curious to see the difference.
Cheap parts are never worth it.

I look forward to seeing your measurements. Please, do post them!
Being an OEM snob, I've used a reman'd GKN axle too, also from Pelican, with good results. Others have had good results with A1 Cardone but I'll be sticking with GKN just in case.
I do worry about "remanufactured" items, especially with something like an axle where a small amount of metal is removed (using a lathe) in order to remove the shiney line where the radial seal contacted it. There's no way to "put back" material to make the axle the same diameter as new.
My Pelican GKN axle was missing the metal shield that protects the grease seal ("radial seal" in BMW language). I contacted Pelican about this and they, in turn, contacted their supplier who "confirmed" that GKN axles were now being shipped without the metallic shield. I've included side-by-side photos.
Was your GKN axle also missing the shield?
P.S. I have had no trouble with the GKN axle, even without the shield.
Radial seal dry-fit test
Regarding leaking seals, did anyone slide the seal onto the replacement axle to see how well it fit?
I think you could get a pretty good idea if the thing was going to seal or not just from a test fit. If you can see daylight around the edges you know it's going to leak. But these types of seals normally give a pretty grippy fit without feeling too loose or too tight.
Anybody have experience with a bad test fit, followed by a leaky seal?
I think mine has the shield, but I just got it delivered yesterday, and opened the box only to look at it briefly. Thanks for pointing it out, though, and confirming you've had no problems without the shield. I would have freaked out wondering if I failed to order a part or something!
My "BMW" axle on my passenger side was also reman'ed, and it cost almost three times as much (I guess the axle cost about $250, and the BMW sticker with the BMW part number cost $500). And that included them keeping my old axle (which probably wasn't worth much, but I'm a junk collector and would have liked to keep it).
Assuming I get my last part today (the shaft seal), I'll be getting real greasy tonight putting it all back together again!
The missing shield hasn't been an issue because of 2 reasons I can think of:
1) The belly pan "splash shield" protects it from dirt, debris, rocks,
2) The clearance in the joint (between the stationary axle mount and the spinning axle) is only 1 or 2mm--not much room to attack the seal.
I went with axles from NAPA and have had no issues.
I installed a $68 reman from NAPA on the passenger side front which leaked and vibrated. It did solve clunky shifting though. Tried 3 seals before I lost patience and spent $448.28 on a BMW reman. But not before we drove on a 1600 mile trip smelling and breathing burnt gear oil...yuck. BMW didn't want my core but NAPA was happy to refund my money. No leak, smooth running and smooth shifts. i've read here that some have had success returning and trying a different axle. But like I said I ran out of patience.
BTW the NAPA axle where the seal rests was 1.731" in diameter.
The BMW axle measured 1.730". That seemed odd. All I can come up with is the NAPA axle must be bent, providing just enough run-out to let the oil leak...that could explain the vibration too.
Food for thought. A lesson I learned in the aviation business a hundred years ago, if it's cheap, it's a piece of sh#*! 9 times out of 10 there's a reason the correct part costs more.
I am trying to find an axle better than the NAPA reman ones.
I had same experience, replaced seals, cheap axle always leaked,very frustrating. Bought OEM gkn axle fixed it! I could not measure any difference in diameter either. These cars require oem parts. I had similar experience with a mass airflow sensor.
I've run a few cheap chinese ones and they all sucked, now running reman, and they are leaking. I need oem GKN in my life :-/
I'll chime in here, I will not purchase any parts for my BMWs that are not either made in Germany or the US, the Chinese will copy but many times the tolerances are not within spec and problems will arise. Many of the German parts available are of good to very good quality and some are cheaper AND the same parts as those that come in a box with BMW all over it.
I've experienced boot leak issues that may help you "slingers". I had both inner boots start slinging the goo. I went lazy mode and had my Indy re-boot all four. I noticed a few weeks later it was slinging AGAIN! As under warranty, the shop had another go. The tech explained, the factory style clamps are a bugger to get tight enough and they've seen this movie before where factory clamps are notorious to loosen. The second round has been fine for months.
I wonder if clamp grip pressure is your issue not an undersized axle? I've read where DIY's have used stainless worm-screw style clamps and cranked 'em down with no balance or leak problems. Just suggesting you re-clamp before condemning the axle.
Why not rebuild your existing Axles?
Reading all the posts about axle shafts that are too small for the boots, or boots not fitted correctly, or Chinese junk breaking down way too soon. Why not stick with your OEM drive axles and have them rebuilt locally?
I have used a local shop here in Daytona to rebuild drives axles for both the 325xit and my 300zx. Average cost is $75 per side. The units are disassembled, cleaned, examined for wear, worn parts replaced, new grease and new boots. The clamps are factory appearing and very tight. I've had the 300zx axles for five years now, and the BMW are going on two years without any problems from any on the rebuild units.
Is it possible to differentiate a BMW/GKN Loebro versus A1 Cardone, FEQ, DSS or other?
I went with $75 Autozone axles ($150 both sides) 2k miles ago and so far they are fine. They come with a LIFETIME WARRANTY. That's right, as long as I own this car I can exchange them at no charge. Compare that to any other option and in my mind it's a no brainer. I may have to do this job again, but it's very nice knowing I will never have to spend another nickel on front cv axles as long as I own this car.
the splines didn't fit.
returned them and got reman'd ones from FCP, which also has lifetime replacement.
they went right in, no problem.

Watch a Reporter Get Taken Out by a Snowplow
Yesterday morning, a reporter named Steve Keeley was standing on the side of a road in New Jersey talking about the driving conditions. And in the middle of his report, a snowplow drove by and threw a WALL of snow at him.
It turned out he was okay, but one of the female anchors must have thought it annihilated him, because she actually SCREAMED when it happened.

The SMS program
SMS is arguably the best medium marketers can use to reach a vast audience. However, companies need to define a clear call-to-action and offer relevant content in order to drive user engagement and opt-ins.
Marketers are continually looking at different mediums to further engage with consumers and increase sales. Additionally, SMS presents companies with a big opportunity to accomplish these goals.
"First off, determine if you target uses text messaging," said Jeff Hasen, chief marketing officer at Hipcricket, New York.
"More than 75 percent of United States mobile subscribers do, so it's likely that you are in the game," he said. "Then have a compelling call-to-action, one that considers your target's interests as well as location and time of day.
"After the initial interaction, it's often important to build an ongoing relationship with the consumer. Ask them to opt-in for additional updates, engage them and keep them coming back for more. The final step is measuring these interactions and optimizing to maximize results."
Driving opt-ins
It is important that marketers provide a clear call-to-action. From there, companies should encourage an ongoing dialogue through an opt-in.
SMS gives marketers a chance to have a one-on-one relationship with consumers.
However, marketers should also remember to not abuse the privilege.
Consumers do not want to be bombarded with text messages, especially if they or unsolicited or irrelevant.
Additionally, marketers should not send one message and then disappear.
"Macy's has run an exceptional campaign with their Backstage Pass Program, engaging shoppers in-store and after purchase," Mr. Hasen said.
"Ford has also done an excellent job of driving leads and conversions by adding an SMS call-to-action to its national print and TV advertisements," he said.
"SMS will remain a workhorse for marketers because it is the most effective reach tool and often leads to monetizable, opt-in databases."
Creating awareness
According to James Citron, CEO of Mogreet, SMS and MMS marketing can fulfill more than just one stage of the marketing funnel – it can create brand awareness, drive sales, deepen customer engagement, as well as build loyal followers and even promote advocacy.
However, many times, marketers run before they can walk and do not take the necessary precautions to make sure their campaign will be successful.
Marketers turn to SMS to build their databases.
Companies should promote their SMS campaigns as much as possible, calls-to-action in-store, within print, TV and radio advertising, as well as on their Web site and social channels.
"Once marketers understand what their customer values, they can create a series of offers based on this information to drive the most opt-ins and redemptions with as few opt-outs as possible," Mr. Citron said. "For some clients, this is a discount code sent at a time of day when the customer is most likely to engage.
"For other clients, sharing behind-the-scenes content bridges the gap between the brand and the fan."
SMS is a two-way platform.
Marketers can create fully interactive programs that drive direct brand engagement.
"Try trivia questions to drive interactions or ask fans and customers to send in photos of themselves and your product," Mr. Citron said. "Opted-in customers expect and enjoy being involved with your brand.
"Providing a campaign that allows your customers to be a part of your marketing program will strengthen your customers' loyalty, driving a deeper connection with your customers, ultimately driving sales and return on investment," he said.
"Try a variety of offers to see which one produces the highest ROI. Take advantage of the data SMS and MMS vendors can provide such as segmentation tools, which allow marketers to test various types of content in one blast, giving then a near-instant snapshot of which message and offer receives the greatest number of participants."
It is important that marketers create unique content and integrate social sharing to amplify reach.
Marketers should not create a short-term strategy.
SMS and MMS marketing is a long-term marketing tactic. Additionally, companies should not send text messages at inappropriate times.
"Given the huge shift towards multimedia driven both by technology and customer behavior, more and more brands and retailers are moving away from SMS to MMS," Mr. Citron said.
"Through the inclusion of video, audio and images, brands are able to extend digital storytelling to text messaging, deepening awareness and driving customers through the marketing funnel up to three times faster than with SMS," he said.

Can't wait to see some pics!
p.s. thanks for the help with the pics in my thread.
I can't wait to get some pics.
And not a problem.
well, as the edited title says, here they are:
I had to restart the helmet. I was working on it on the floor when my eight year old son accidentally crushed it. But it was a blessing in disguise. I ran out of super glue and ended up using hot glue to put the dome together. It worked extremely well! I am pleased.
The gloves I got at a vender at a local agraculteral fair (Fryeberg Fair if anyone knows of it). Slightly too big but I like it that way.
Well enjoy. Should have some more soon.
ok, got more done and more pics.
This is what i'm going for, kinda. Not sure about the red gaunts and knee pads.
Yes! Almost ready. It's been resined, sanded abit in the inside. The weather was not the best today. It rained. Hopefully I'll get more done this weekend if it's nice.
good start on the bicket!
I think I agree with the red knees and gaunts...what other were you thinking?
I have no clue what I was thinking. Might make them the same color as the rest of the armor.
Speaking of, I started laying out the plates just a few minutes ago. Using old 5 gallon buckets we have lying around.
Yeah, I was really worried how the buy'ce was going to turn out but I am really happy with it so far. The moment of truth will come when I rondo it and start sanding.
But at least it's started. Oh yeah, if you see this Skip, how about an update on the dome for the PDO, huh?

We're into that time of year when shad have moved into the backs of creeks on most reservoirs, and the bass are piling in there to fatten up.
Baitfish are lured into the creeks by cooler water and nutrients being flushed into the system by fall rains. This creates an excellent feeding opportunity for the bass prior to winter and a great time to utilize shallow running crankbaits.
Spinnerbaits and flipping techniques work well, too, but I think the crankbait is a better choice, especially when the water is relatively clear. You need to cover water quickly to find the bass. Crankbaits make that possible, and they best resemble the forage.
Now, if the water is heavily stained, the vibration of the spinnerbait or well-placed jigs and plastics dropped into cover may work better.
I prefer square-billed crankbaits now because of the erratic action they deliver. You can catch them on a variety of crankbaits, but the smaller, square-billed body baits are ideal when the bass bunch up in the shallows.
I helped in the development of Strike King's new, KVD 1.5 and 2.5 square bills that have produced extremely well for me this fall. Both run 4 to 6 feet deep, depending on line size, although the 2.5 has a little bigger body profile. Both deliver a unique erratic action.
The baits are weighted so that they constantly search slightly from side to side. The erratic action resembles an injured baitfish.
In fact, we purposely built in some "instability" in the way the lures run so that they kick abruptly off rocks, stumps, or dock posts.
When I head into a creek during the fall, I will have multiple rods rigged with different line sizes, baits and colors. The water tends to be a little more stained in the back than it is near the front of the creek, so I'm prepared for all conditions.
For example, if the water is stained, the fish will be shallower and holding tighter to the cover, so I'll use heavier line and a bigger bodied bait, like the 2.5, in sexy shad colors. In clearer water, I prefer the smaller bodied 1.5 in natural colors.
I want the bait hitting bottom or off cover, so the various line sizes helps me make the appropriate adjustments.
When the fish are in the far backs of creeks, they can be extremely shallow. I cast the crankbait right up "into the dirt" and hold the rod tip high as I begin the retrieve. When the bait moves into deeper water, I'll lower the rod tip.
Key spots are the edges of mud flats that drop into the channel. That's where you'll find hidden stumps that bass use to ambush shad.
So, when you go to your favorite lake this fall, head into the creeks, look for shad activity, and cover water with a crankbait. If there's shad in the area, the bass will be there, and you can load the boat quickly.

FR Bipole; room placement?
I just finished my first FR project which is bipoles with a front firing port, using TB 1052SA drivers. It sounds great, but I noticed the bass response is dramatically dependent on speaker placement. They seem to do best with the rear drivers facing corners (but about 2ft away). Mids and highs seem to not really be affected by placement.
Is this normal for bipoles?
Bipole speaker will be nearer a "true" point source at all freqs than monopoles or, especially, dipole (i.e. out-of-phase).
One more note: With full-rangers, mids and highs will be even more independent of room effects than, say, a typical two-way monitor speaker, because of beaming. That is, the mids and highs become increasingly directional, as opposed to a wide-dispersion tweeter.
I believe that full-rangers do very well with wall and corner placement, for this very reason.
Thanks for the info! Your pretty smart for a dumbass:D

American prospects are brightening, the sluggish eurozone is stirring and confident British consumers have shrugged off a tax-raising Budget. But beyond the cosy confines of the wealthy Western world, an alarming number of economic crises have flared up.
Their causes vary, but all share two features. First, they seem a long way away. And second, they could each blot out the economic sunshine in which Middle Britain is basking.
In Latin America, Venezuela and Argentina are in chaos. Venezuela's radical president, Hugo Chavez - who wants to nationalise banking and farming - was deposed on 12 April, only to return on 14 April. Now the world's fifth-largest oil producer is deeply divided between 'Chavistas' and the president's opponents. Serious disruption to its oil output would put 10p on a litre of petrol in Britain.
Argentina's turmoil was sparked by quite different policies to those of Chavez - the peso was tied to the US dollar and the government intoned free-market orthodoxies. In January, a punishing recession forced Argentina to devalue, slap controls on money movements and shut its banks as it grappled with $141bn external debt. So far, investors have not stampeded out of South America, but turbulence at either end of the continent could change all that, tipping giant Brazil into crisis.
Southern Africa's problems are largely confined to Zimbabwe, where the economy has collapsed as Robert Mugabe's ruling party wages war on white farmers and Asian business people. But if Zimbabwe's strife spread to neighbouring South Africa, chaos would erupt on a wider stage. As it is, British passports are held by 25,000 Zimbabweans, who could arrive here at any time.
In the Far East, three one-time 'dragons' - Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore - have lost their fire after years of over-reliance on electronics-manufacture and exports to the US. Each dragon sits on a deep fault-line: the first two between China and its satellites, and Singapore between the Chinese and the Malay/Muslim worlds.
Blazing brighter than all these flashpoints is the oil-rich Middle East, where conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and looming American attacks on Iraq threaten an earth-shaking economic shock.
Julian Jessop, analyst at Standard Chartered bank, said: 'These crises could hit us in two ways. Firstly, they could pull down a major British or European bank exposed in the troubled region, sending shock waves through our markets. Secondly, they could make sterling a safe-haven currency, thus pushing its value higher and strangling exports.' Peter Dixon, economist at Commerzbank, said: 'Latin America is the biggest worry. Spanish banks are heavily exposed - their problems could become our problems.'
For Trevor Williams, analyst at Lloyds TSB, the Middle East is the deadliest flashpoint. He said: 'An oil-price shock relating to conflict there would be by far the most worrying development.'
