Replacing Clutch & Trans - What else to replace
2 Attachment(s)
Hi All, I need to query the collective expertise over here.
My transmission and clutch are being replaced under warranty. Currently I have just under 43k miles. I don't have the final list of parts, but I know they are replacing clutch, trans, ball pin, spring clip, & mounting bolts.
While the dealer has everything apart, what should I pay out of pocket for them to replace? I am quite certain I should replace items #1-3. Not sure what to do with the flywheel or if there is anything else I have missed.
1)Pilot bearing
2)Throw out bearing (is this part of the Release Module?)
3)Clutch Fork (is this the release module?)
4)Flywheel (dealer said this isn't covered under this repair) Replace or resurface?

What led to the transmission and clutch failure? Not sure if the clutch replacement includes the flywheel, but it's a good practice replace it at the same time. Also have them check the gear linkages, throwout bearing and the clutch fork (could be included with the clutch replacement though).
Shifting 1->2 was difficult above 4000 rpm. The shifter just does not want to go into gear. I had the dealer look into it a few months back, but they found nothing abnormal. Recently it has been scratching into 1st, out of 1st, into 2nd, and into 3rd. I took the car in 2 weeks ago and they confirmed something is wrong and received approval to replace the trans and clutch. My SA confirmed the flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch fork, and throw out bearing are not included with the replacement.
Seeing the prices for the pilot bearing, clutch fork and throw out bearing, I can swallow those. I'm still on the fence about the flywheel and what to do. I have been reseaching and several suggest not to machine a dual mass flywheel due to damaging the springs during the machining process. I am also trying to see if there are any other parts I should get replaced. I inquired about the rear main seal, but the SA suggested that it isn't worth touching now since it is factory sealed.
I wonder if your synchromesh had blown. Most clutch kits include the bearing and fork, but if the dealer doesn't want to do it pursue them to do it on your coin. The flywheel should be re-surfaced, and it is not that expensive.
Have you resurfaced a dual mass flywheel?
a) you can resurface it
b) you can't
IMHO, if I it were up to me I'd want to replace it with the original brand new part - $1000+
My understanding though, most of the transmission parts are sourced re manufactured, that's why most of them have +core.
The dealer doing the work won't resurface it. If you drive the car hard, the $1,200 to replace it is worth it. If you are gentle, I wouldn't bother. The rear mail seal on the engine is a candidate for replacement. BavAuto sells it with their clutch kit so I would guess it is good practice.
I am neither gentle nor drive the car hard. It will see high rpm on open roads and high way merges, but most of the time it is city driving and highway cruising.
I'm still on the fence about the flywheel. I have no intention upgrading the clutch or anything anytime soon. I like how this car shifts, etc.
Here are my options:
1) Pay the dealer to replace it and hope that it is worth replacing
1a) If the flywheel is in good condition resell it for $100 to make up some of the cost
2) Tell them I'm not going to pay for it and only replace it if warranty covers it.
2a) If the clutch has issues afterwards, then I can take the car back at a later time. I still have 5 months/7k left on warranty. I believe dealer repairs are covered for 12mo/12k.
I am leaning more towards option 2, then falling back on 2a if there are any immediate problems. Do flywheels fail?
I paid out of pocket and replaced the flywheel. The other bearings and parts were either included with the clutch kit or the trans. The flywheel looks in decent shape. I need to clean it off and inspect it further before knowing for sure of its condition.
I just got my car back on Saturday. The clutch engages very close to the bottom. I'm not sure if I like that. Does anyone have any idea if this can be adjusted? I don't know if they bled it. I had a brake flush done 2 weeks ago covered by maintenance.

Serves 4
Here is good summer food. The dish delivers contrasts—hot and cold, crisp and soft, sweet and salty—and best of all, it can be eaten with the hands. On hot days, serve it on a cold plate, making sure the melon is very cold, and even include a chilled fork, if you like. Another presentation would be to cut thin slices of seedless watermelon and overlap them on a plate for watermelon "carpaccio." Then balance the batons against each other in the middle of the plate. This is a good place to use several drops of your precious aceto balsamico traditionale. Or you can serve this with the tomato vinegar, included in the book. You can also grill or roast the zucchini. Any kind of melon will work as long as it is ripe (but not overripe and mushy) and fragrant.
1 medium-sized ripe melon
3 zucchini, each about 8 inches long and of equal diameter
Salt and freshly ground pepper
24 very thin slices pancetta or prosciutto
1-1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or mint
Halve and seed the melon, then peel. Cut the melon on a mandoline with the julienne blade, or cut by hand into thin slices and then again into flat "noodles" about 1/4 inch wide. Arrange in a pile on a platter or divide among 4 plates and sprinkle with a little salt. Keep refrigerated until needed.
Trim the ends from the zucchini and cut into quarters lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece tightly in pancetta, using 2 pieces per quarter. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat until hot. Add the zucchini and sauté until the pancetta is crispy but the zucchini is still nearly raw, about 5 minutes.
Place 3 zucchini batons on top of each portion of melon, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and dust with parsley. Serve immediately.

Need advice about the cheapest way to haul more arse
I've started another thread in the swap section, but the more I read about this --I need some ejimacation 'bout Focuses before I can make anything resembling an intelligent decision.
I'm driving a 2000 Zx3 that was entirely rebuilt this last week. I thought until this morning that it was rebuilt to factory specs, but I was incorrect. My mechanic has a thing for Focuses --and he upgraded the engine and transmission with performance parts while he was at it.
This is my daily driver, and I'm too dependent on this thing to be without it for long. It's highly likely I'll be in California for the next three years --CARB compliance is essential. I'm a broke arse student --I don't drink beer because Tequila is cheaper here style broke. I want to haul arse, but I don't want to waste a dime.
Here's what I am trying to decide between:
#1 If I want it, he's got an upgraded SVT engine I can swap into it --zero labor cost, but I buy parts. I thought this would be cheap, but the parts are elusive and get pricey. I live in a townhome on the Trinity river, so a parts car is NOT an option.
#2 Supercharge my newly rebuilt Zetec --not even interested in spending the $4k+ on a new one, so used or rebuilt.
#3 Turbocharge my newly rebuilt Zetec ----not even interested in spending the $4k+ on a new one, so used or rebuilt. CARB LEGAL REQUIRED. I want one that is quick spooling, and I don't want one that I have to screw with. Law school takes too much time for me to have to screw with my car.
#4 Tweaking the hell out of my current Zetec but staying N/A. Not sure what to even do here --headers, intake, catback, cams?
I need every bit of advice I can get on this. I'm a fish out of water on this --I've rebuilt an old AMC, but I don't have a clue about how to tune a Zetec Focus. This car appears to have a huge amount of potential, but I don't know how best to unleash it.

Unfortunately you have to pay to play. If watch you can usually see used powerworks superchargers pop up for a few grand from time to time. N/A will cost a load of money but not get you much over 200hp
For CARB your best bet is going to be SC... find a used Jackson, pro charger, or best would be power works. Used usually need a fair amount of extra parts. Fuel injectors, tune, etc. So expect to pay an extra $750 or so over the kit.
What is a realistic budget to get this car tuned out?
NA or FI?
Its about $400 for the tuner and tune from Tom for a NA tune believe its $700 for FI. The great thing about going with Tom is that he can real time data log with you and tune it specifically for your car and any time you change it add anything he will then retune with you.
How would I go about doing something in the price range that Mike_Mac did?

Correct way to drain a patio
I have a relatively flat concrete/flagstone patio. It's irregular shaped but I think it's around 1000 sq.ft. In the middle of the patio, there is a small drain grate. It never seemed to work very well, so I assumed that it was clogged.
I finally got around to getting it open and poking around inside. As far as I can tell, there's no there there. It's just a plastic grate, over a plastic square with a round hole 3" or so in diameter, and, below the hole, it's sandy/rocky soil all the way to China. Most importantly, there's no drainage pipe.
Is that an acceptable way to install a drain? Is there an easy way to route a drainage pipe there without breaking up the patio? It's about 15 ft. from the place where I could put the outlet. I have some experience routing thin 1/2" pipes by the means of a garden hose with water, but I'm not sure if that would work with a 2-3" drainage pipe.
Ayuh,.... What you've got is, effectively a miniature Dry-well....
Rather than diggin' up the patio to put in dranage pipes,...
I'd just dig yer dry-well abit deeper to deal with whatever water collects...

It is with sadness that I have to report that Davy Guy, President of the Durham Miners Assocation of the North East Area of the NUM, passed away last night at the age of 66 after a long battle against cancer.
Davy Guy commanded the utmost respect of the NUM membership due to his commitment to fight on behalf of the miners, their families and communities over the many years he has been actively involved in the NUM.
The NUM wishes to express its condolences to his widow Christine and his family.
Funeral arrangements will be posted when known.
Why shouldn't Kellingley and Thoresby have remained open into 2018?
In a report prepared for the NUM and TUC "Merits of UK Coal State Aid Application" it is argued that rather than close Kellingley and Thorseby in 2015 they could remain open until 2018. Other EU member states have and still are benefiting from the fund whilst making a case for extended funding.
"It can be seen that our European competitors are taking a strategic decision to support their coal industry during managed wind down of uncompetitive coal mines, and are providing substantial sums under European State Aid regulations. As an example, Germany's closure plans are designed to address the social impact of job losses, and specifically to allow sufficient time to enable direct and indirect supply chains to adjust. To date the UK has made little use of state-aid provisions for the sector, either under the previous regulations or current Closure Aid."

I love the colour, me wants one so bad
I love the colour, me wants one so bad
I think I'm hilarious.
Frustration is somewhat mounting and I put the interior and everything on hold until I get this fuel issue figured out
I need input from you guys on this:
OK. Switched out temp sensor
removed every single vacuum line that the vehicle does not need
cleaned the isv
and still the car runs so rich that my oil is still coming out gray.
This is frustrating.
I noticed my o2 sensor wiring is all chopped up from someone tapping in a narrow band AFR gauge at some point in the past. Before I fix this, does it adversley affect A/F mixture?
I am now leaning towards fuel delivery.. Gonna remove injectors and FPR. I am getting way to much fuel in every RMP range.

OMG Yes, fix the O2 harness Before you go nuts chasing the injectors.
|Corrado SLC 2.9LVR6|Corrado Keyless Entry | A8 "Grape Ape" | SPOONFEDTUNING |FOURSEASONTUNING|DUBNUTZ|
i'd suggest soldering the wiring then shrink wrapping it to avoid a bigger mess
Ok gonna clean up the harness, run a new o2, change oil and run car for 15 minutes. If oil comes back out like water, smelling like gasoline and gray, I am gonna tear the fuel delivery apart.
The car runs and idles fine but christ it's rich

Just fab up something on the front edge where the seats sat originally to level the plasticor out (I'm thinking styrofoam cut and stacked and perhaps glued down in moderation) assuming that your not looking for something to be structural back there. You could even fill the void with batt insulation to keep road noise down. I plan on doing a similar project in my GTI this spring.
1998 GTi Vr6 Turbo Tornado Red
New OEM sensor came in today. Here is the dilemma: The 4th wire on the harnes (black) on both the o2 sensor side and Digi side are missing on the one that I currently have.
The new one is obviously all there but I still have the missing black wire on the digi side of the connector. Well there is about half an inch of wire coming out but once I solder on a new wire, where the hell does it go?
I checked my bentley but still have no clue.
Guru Motorsports / europeein
Black goes to the ECU. Its the sensor shield wire. Is it possible the wire is in the harness side of the car still but you have to dig for it?
Guru Motorsports / europeein
The good thing is that harness only goes directly up to the ECU in the rain tray. Shouldn't be difficult to track it down since its not a long harness.

I had done something similar to my jetta. I just used a sheet of 3/4" MDF covered in black carpet and factory seat bolts on each end so it sat right where the seats did and could be folded up for storage underneath.
sorry for the wacky door less shot but you can see it in the back.
UPDATE: O2 sensor wiring was so bad. The black wire I kept referring to was actually supposed to be purple. I check one of my other rado (had to unearth it from the snow). I repaired the right way and we will see if it is still running super rich when I drain the oil monday.
on another note, the wiring to the ISV is so fouled I want to cry The black/yellow wire is fried all the way up the harnes, both wires are taped onto the ISV and pigtail is missing. I have two others I can use but I noticed that cracked and frail wiring is prevelant on this harness due to age and heat. SOOOOO I am removing the pins and completely wiring the pigtail. If I like the way this goes (TEDIOUS WORK) I will be replacing a multitude of wirings in the engine bay as they are all dry rotted and cracked.
Oh well. shouldn't be that bad. Just need to find the pin connectors at a reasonable price

Update: I found a place where I can store my car for the year as this build is gonna be slow as hell. However, prior to shipping the car there, I am removing the engine. Removed the front nose so far.
The motor will stay at the shop and was wondering if anyone would like to chime in on suggestions for internals such as rods, pistons, etc etc. BBM Stage 4 kit with 260 degree camshaft for starters on the head? I already have an adjustable gamgear.
Help a brother out
Guru Motorsports / europeein
Stock internals are more than adequate for a stage 4 G60.
You could switch to an ABA or (if it works) a 3A for some more displacement.
Phenix Engineering: Still making new parts for old C's
Spoonfedtuning < If you have a Corrado you need this stuff!
So glad we don't have to deal with rust issues out here.
I never understood why people "build" g60 C's, AND keep the g charger. Its a **** 8v to begin with, then add an unreliable supercharger & boost the hell out of it. Its a total waste of time, effort and $ imo. All for what, 220 whp on a good day w/ the gcharger wound the hell out?
For less $, you could swap in a oem 1.8t and have a more powerful motor with 1000% better potential. So many better options than wasting $ on a G60/PG setup. Not being a dick, I just honestly never understood it why people go through the hassle for hardly any power gain. Bang for your buck wise..it makes no sense.
My Corrado (sort of) build thread / On Database
My MK1 build thread
The car was never intended to be a daily driver and I get bored very easily so this thing should keep me busy for a while and don't tell me the VR6 or 1.8T are any more reliable or this forum would have this or this as an optional emoticon.
Now back to the grind. Removed everything but the block this morning. Easy as pie when you have the proper tools and lift. Gonna hit the garage later today to pull the rest out but for now I have to go run errands with the old lady.
Cheers peeps

Oh and one more thing... I have two sets of rims coming in this week. Scored a set of 16" Ronal ACT's shipped for 500.00 from Kansas and I SCORED a set of Ronal Turbo's still in the original packaging from when they were purchased by a gentlemen back in the 80's for his Jaguar.
The price you ask? haha 405.00 shipped from Reno

So why would you want to build a motor to only run 1 bar of boost? The stg4 kit is 16+ psi. Thats over 1 bar right there.
Also, the g60/pg isnt really rare, they are pretty common. Its just a very limited setup that most guys looking for power, don't use. Im not praising other motors, im simply stating that obviously if the guy is looking at building a motor and going with stg4 g60 setup, he wants to go fast. There are much better options to go fast for less $, with far better performamce. I don't wanna start a g60 vs "
" argument...so I'll leave it at that i guess.
I understand the fact that some people want originality, and to keep the pg setup..but if thats the case, why not keep it oem+ and make it last longer by not pushing the limits of a bad design? either way, op. good luck in whatever you do. Just stating my opinion while trying to gain a little insight on the subject.

Megabass PopMax
Sale price: Clearance price: Starting at: Sale starting at: Clearance starting at: Reg. price:
An evolutionary upgrade to the respected PopX, the Megabass PopMax is based on a hand-carved original by Yuki Ito. The PopMax features a larger body and a redesigned gill system. While it shares the PopX's gill openings, which allow water to pass through creating lifelike bubbles and a chugging action, the PopMax features a unique gill system that has 6 water intakes and a water chamber. These intakes channel water through the gills and out the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while 2 intakes channel water into the water chamber and out below the PopMax. This generates bubbles and creates a disturbance that garners the attention of passing fish. This system acts like a lip, utilizing water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water. This system keeps the lure grounded so it can be worked faster. When the lure's paused, water flow out of the chamber causing the PopMax to raise its head, as if to survey the surroundings. Work the PopMax like a conventional popper and, with gentle rod-tip action, the lure will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and dog-walkers.

Yahoo Inc. has moved its online mapping service to a new platform that the company said makes the Web site faster and more accurate.
The new mapping platform will make its debut on Wednesday, along with other enhancements to the site in areas like user interface design, according to the Sunnyvale, California company.
Yahoo has been using mapping technology from deCarta Inc. for over five years, but with the new platform, developed in-house, Yahoo Maps will perform better, offer more precise results and make backend upgrades easier to implement, Yahoo said.
Internet companies have in recent years put much effort in improving their online mapping sites, which have become critical to their local search services. Almost always linked, local search engines and online maps let people place addresses on a map, find business listings, obtain driving directions, view aerial and satellite images, read reviews for restaurants and other establishments and find entertainment event information, among other things.
As local search sites increase their popularity with end users, marketers are increasing their ad spending on them. The Kelsey Group Inc. expects advertisers to spend US$11.1 billion in 2011 in these sites, compared with $4.1 billion last year, a compound annual growth rate of 22.3 percent.
The new platform will not disrupt the mapping service's existing APIs (application programming interfaces) nor will third-party applications built using them require retooling, said Jeremy Kreitler, director of product management for Yahoo Maps.
On Wednesday, Yahoo Maps users will also see more detailed renditions of neighborhoods and buildings in New York City and San Francisco. Yahoo will deliver similar improvements to other cities' maps this year. Yahoo also enhanced the way the site prints out maps.
Yahoo plans to add country-specific mapping sites for France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the U.K. this year, although the main Yahoo Maps site already has maps for these and 31 other countries.

A Subprime Analyst's Tribute to the Talking Heads
Oct. 22, 2008: The heads of the major credit rating companies are summoned to Capitol Hill
Internal communications unearthed in lawsuits against the credit rating companies contradict their claims that they didn't know the securities they evaluated were far riskier than the AAA ratings they assigned to them. One gem is a March 2007 e-mail from a Standard & Poor's employee—and apparent Talking Heads fan—identified in court papers as "Analyst D."
Watch out, Housing market went softer
Cooling down, Strong market is now much weaker
Subprime is boiling over
Bringing down the house.
Hold tight, CDO biz has a bother
Hold tight, Leveraged CDOs they were after
Going—all the way down, with
Subprime mortgages
Own it, Hey you need to downgrade now
Free-mont, Huge delinquencies hit it now.
Two-thousand-and-six vintage.
Bringing down the house.
A follow-up message to colleagues read: "For obvious professional reasons please do not forward this song. If you are interested, I can sing it at your cube ;-)."

"There is a crisis with the Americans," said Israel's finance minister a few days ago. Man, is there ever.
As a million people on Twitter are noting this afternoon, "the chickensh*t" served as a team leader in the IDF's special forces unit, Sayeret Matkal. Team Hopenchange isn't questioning his personal bravery, though, they're questioning something they naturally consider more important — political bravery. Which is interesting because The One's shown plenty of gutlessness on international affairs himself over the past few years. He abandoned Mubarak because he didn't want to be on the wrong side of Arab populism, then abandoned Morsi once the winds of Arab populism changed. He backed off his "red line" in Syria once he realized the public wasn't keen on bombing Assad, then accepted a transparently sham deal to disarm Damascus's chemical weapons brokered by Vladimir Putin. He let Iraq fall to pieces, enabling the rise of ISIS, because keeping a residual force of U.S. troops there would have upset his base. Ten years from now, his legacy on Iran will almost certainly be that he missed the west's last clear chance to stop the mullahs before they built a bomb, choosing to accept another transparently sham denuclearization deal instead because he feared a war more than he feared Shiite fanatics with nuclear weapons. How is this guy, or rather his surrogates, calling other leaders "chickensh*t"?
You can read Jeffrey Goldberg's piece yourself for the administration's gory sniping at Netanyahu ("recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and 'Aspergery'"). They're mad at Bibi for two reasons. One, of course, is that he supports settlements in the West Bank, in particular apartment buildings for Israeli Jews in east Jerusalem. For whatever reason, the White House seems convinced that John Kerry's the man to finally make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, if only Bibi would stop pandering to the hawks who keep reelecting him and extend an olive branch on settlements. Why Obama and Kerry think durable peace is in the offing here, especially as jihadis are gaining ground in Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen, I have no idea. My hunch is that it's a vestige of their pre-inauguration aspirations in 2008, when they thought the U.S. just needed a fresh start with the Middle East after Bush to set things back on the right track. That's what Obama's Cairo speech was supposed to achieve. Five years later, there's a budding caliphate in Mesopotamia.
It's the other reason they're mad at Netanyahu that I want to showcase, though:
This official agreed that Netanyahu is a "chickenshit" on matters related to the comatose peace process, but added that he's also a "coward" on the issue of Iran's nuclear threat. The official said the Obama administration no longer believes that Netanyahu would launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear facilities in order to keep the regime in Tehran from building an atomic arsenal. "It's too late for him to do anything. Two, three years ago, this was a possibility. But ultimately he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. It was a combination of our pressure and his own unwillingness to do anything dramatic. Now it's too late."
This assessment represents a momentous shift in the way the Obama administration sees Netanyahu. In 2010, and again in 2012, administration officials were convinced that Netanyahu and his then-defense minister, the cowboyish ex-commando Ehud Barak, were readying a strike on Iran. To be sure, the Obama administration used the threat of an Israeli strike in a calculated way to convince its allies (and some of its adversaries) to line up behind what turned out to be an effective sanctions regime. But the fear inside the White House of a preemptive attack (or preventative attack, to put it more accurately) was real and palpable—as was the fear of dissenters inside Netanyahu's Cabinet, and at Israel Defense Forces headquarters. At U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, analysts kept careful track of weather patterns and of the waxing and waning moon over Iran, trying to predict the exact night of the coming Israeli attack.
Today, there are few such fears. "The feeling now is that Bibi's bluffing," this second official said. "He's not Begin at Osirak," the official added, referring to the successful 1981 Israeli Air Force raid ordered by the ex-prime minister on Iraq's nuclear reactor.
Let me understand this. Netanyahu considered attacking Iran, we pressured him not to do it, and now we're mocking him as a "chickensh*t" for taking our advice? Logically, doesn't that make The One "King Chickensh*t"? I've re-read that boldfaced part five times now and I still can't quite process it. Not only are they sneering at Bibi for adopting the White House's own policy, they're flatly admitting — boasting even — that they made Iran's nuclear program attack-proof. A bombing run might have worked three years ago but it won't work now, thanks to … Uncle Sam's delay tactics on behalf of Tehran. Iran might as well name its first ICBM the "Barack." You're welcome, A-holes.
Here's the schmuck we elected president twice, providing a soundbite that historians will laugh at grimly for decades. No chickensh*ts here, yo.

Thanks for the kind words mate, I really hope I can make some progress soon. It's been sitting around for a while!
One thing I did notice though, I was looking at BM's pack on his site and noticed that the central column on his JP is the same width as the housing for the rocket. On yours it does look as if the central column is not as wide as the housing.
Perhaps you could add some filler to make these match up?
Or maybe once the "teeth" are on there it will look right!?

Picture: The Specials and Lynval Golding - The Specials performing live at Barrowlands - Glasgow, Scotland - Thursday 9th May 2013
The Specials founding member Jerry Dammers has paid tribute to Nelson Mandela with a unique instrumental performance of his 1984 track, FREE Nelson Mandela.
The song, originally performed by The Specials Aka, became a rallying call for the global movement demanding Mandela's release from prison, which was granted in 1990 amid civil unrest in his native South Africa.
Dammers gathered his current ensemble, the Spatial Aka Orchestra, to perform a special rendition of the track on Britain's Channel 4 news on Friday night (06Dec13), a day after the political hero passed away at the age of 95.
Writing in the Daily Mirror newspaper following Mandela's death on Thursday night (05Dec13), Dammers stated, "I hope Free Nelson Mandela is still a rallying cry and people can relate to what it stood for, because one of the best ways we could remember Nelson Mandela is to listen to what he actually said. A lot of politicians are going to pay tribute to him, but if they actually listened to what he said, about freeing people from the prison of poverty, and acted on it, that would be the best tribute of all."
The civil rights icon served 27 years in prison after he was convicted of conspiracy to overthrow the government following a sabotage campaign calling for an end to apartheid.

Angels Fall (edition 2006)
by Nora Roberts
Work details
Angels Fall by Nora Roberts
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Reece Gilmore was a chef in Boston where she was the only survivor of a brutal slaying at her restaurant. After therapy and hospitalization, Reece takes to the road in search of peace. Still suffering some of the aftereffects of her horrendous attack, she is hoping that Angel's Fist will provider her some relief from the panic attacks and fear that have taken over her life. She settles into the small town working as a cook in the local diner, but while hiking Reece sees a murder take place. She is certain of what she has seen, and the only one that will believe her is a popular author Brody. Brody believes Reece, but has also been informed of her past. He sees some of her unusual behavior, but sticks with his gut instinct that she is telling the truth. I will be the first to say I am not a big Nora Roberts fan but I love her "In Death" series as J.D. Robb. (Yeah, I know that makes me from a different planet.) However I found that "Angels Fall" is an enjoyable romance with a nice mystery embedded in it. It's certainly possible to guess the killer's identity, but you're better than I am if you're completely sure until near the end.
This was a slow build about a young woman running from her traumatic past. She thinks she's finally found a place to safely land and deal with her PTSD, but shortly after her arrival at Angel's Fist, she witnesses murder. The only problem? No one believes her.
This was one of those books that was just okay for me. It wasn't bad, but it didn't ring any bells either. It's possible I need to switch genres for a bit. Brody was a big jerk in the beginning, but I did like how Reece was able to use his curt attitude to pull herself up by the bootstraps. The mystery aspect was decent, a little too drawn out in places, but decent. The last third of the book was probably the best part. If I were rating that alone, I'd give it at least 4 stars.
While working as a chef in a Boston restaurant, Reece Gilmore becomes the only survivor of a shooting spree that killed all of her co-workers. Needing a change, Reece heads west and stops in Angel's Fist, Wyoming, nestled in the beautiful Grand Tetons. She takes a job as the cook in a local diner and begins to make tentative friendships with the townfolk, including handsome mystery writer, Brody.
On an afternoon hike Reece sees what she believes to be the murder of a young woman. When she reports what she saw most people tend to think it is her imagination bringing up the horrors of her past. The one person who does believe her is Brody and he will do anything to protect Reece (and get her into bed at every opportunity). The murderer realizes that Reece knows what happened and he uses her past fears to keep her unbalanced and to even start doubting herself.
I enjoyed the mystery and suspense of this book but 'boy howdy!' is there ever a lot of other 'activity' going on between the sheets. This was my first Nora Roberts book and I just have to ask: Are her characters always so lusty?
A favorite Nora Roberts it is lots of fun with a good mystery.
Liked this book as read a while ago - Nora Roberts always pulls out a great story! Reece Gilmore has come a long way to see the stunning view below her. As the sole survivor of a brutal crime back East, she has been on the run, desperately fighting the nightmares and panic attacks that haunt her. Reece settles in Angel's Fist, Wyoming-temporarily, at least-and takes a job at a local diner. And now she's hiked this mountain all by herself. It was glorious, she thought, as she peered through her binoculars at the Snake River churning below. And no one in Angel's Fist seems to believe her. After all, she's a newcomer in town, with a reputation for being jumpy and jittery-maybe even a little fragile. Maybe it's time to run again, to move on . . .

New England once again traded its way around the board to find value on the way toward adding 12 players. Most of the picks filled immediate needs at tight end, wide receiver, linebacker and defensive line. But first-round pick cornerback Devin McCourty left some scratching their heads. Overall the Patriots had a solid three-day effort, as Bill Belichick put it, "replenishing" the roster.
BEST PICK: Tight end Rob Gronkowski: The soft-handed product out of Arizona convinced New England doctors that he was healthy enough to warrant a second-round pick. Gronkowski fills a huge need and could be expected to contribute from day one.
COULD SURPRISE: Linebacker Brandon Spikes: A 5.06-second 40-yard dash time hurt Spikes' stock, but not Bill Belichick. He sees Spikes as a big, productive force on the inside who moves as well between the tackles as any linebacker he's seen in recent years.
A closer look at the Patriots' picks:
Round 1/27 -- Devin McCourty, CB, 5-11, 193, Rutgers
McCourty is a well-rounded corner with zone and man skills who was also considered one of the best special teams players in the draft.
Round 2/42 -- Rob Gronkowski, TE, 6-6, 265, Arizona
After sitting out 2009 with a back injury, Gronkowski left college early as one of the top tight end prospects. He has soft hands and can block, filling a huge hole in New England.
Round 2/53 -- Jermaine Cunningham, DE/OLB, 6-3, 266, Florida
Cunningham didn't have a lot of hype, but he fits the outside linebacker mold for the Patriots perfectly with the size, speed, athleticism and ability to play the pass and the run.
Round 2/62 -- Brandon Spikes, ILB, 6-3, 249, Florida
His 40 time hurt his draft stock, but Spikes' career at Florida showed he could flat out play. He was the captain of the defense, a force in the middle and a playmaker for the Gators. He'll play early on.
Round 3/90 -- Taylor Price, WR, 6-0, 212, Ohio
New England was the only team to work out Price, who had back-to-back 50-catch seasons in the Bobcats' run-first offense. He has good size and speed, but it could take him a time to learn the complexities of the Patriots' offense.
Round 4/113 -- Aaron Hernandez, TE, 6-3, 250, Florida
Hernandez won the Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end. More of an athletic H-back than true tight end, he'll find some opportunities in the Patriots' spread formations.
Round 5/150 -- Zoltan Mesko, P, 6-5, 230, Michigan
The Ray Guy Award winner fills an empty spot on the New England depth chart. The left-footed punter has a big leg and improving situational skills. The punting job is his to lose.
Round 6/205 -- Ted Larson, C, 6-2, 304, North Carolina State
A converted defensive lineman who has played only two years at center, Larson is a developing prospect.
Round 7/208 -- Thomas Welch, T, 6-6, 307, Vanderbilt
A former tight end, Welch started his final two seasons at tackle and has NFL backup swing potential.
Round 7/247 -- Brandon Deaderick, DE, 6-4, 296, Alabama
Deaderick started the last two years in Nick Saban's defense and is a developmental guy for the five technique in New England's 3-4 front.
Round 7/248 -- Kade Weston, 6-5, 317, DT, Georgia
Weston played inside for the Bulldogs but is a five-technique prospect for the Patriots.
Round 7/250 -- Zac Robinson, 6-3, 214, QB, Oklahoma State
Robinson is an athletic prospect from a spread scheme who could battle 2009 undrafted free agent Brian Hoyer for the backup job.
Draft Thoughts:
--Five picks and two trades after we all thought they'd make their first selection of the 2010 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots finally got on the board at No. 27 with -- surprise, surprise! -- a defender, though not the one many thought they'd snag.
Various mock drafts weighed in during the days leading up to the draft, with some experts guessing the Patriots would go with Texas defensive lineman Sergio Kindle, or perhaps his teammate, safety Earl Thomas -- either way, all eyes pointed to a defensive upgrade.
In the end, Bill Belichick traded out of the 22nd pick, acquired the No. 24th pick in exchange, and then dealt that selection, too, in order to scoop up Rutgers defensive back Devin McCourty with the 27th overall pick.
McCourty certainly fills a need on defense. The Patriots still haven't replaced Asante Samuel -- entering his third season with Philadelphia -- and they spent last year filling in the blanks on the opposite side, too, after trading away Ellis Hobbs.
According to scouting reports, McCourty (5-feet-10, 196 pounds) appears to be much faster than fundamentally sound, which is strange sine Belichick often preaches the virtues of solid ball skills -- a trait McCourty apparently lacks.
One thing he has going for him is his 4.42 time in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine, but he's rather thin and lacks the bulk (at least right now) to bang heads with stronger, taller receivers. As always, it's anyone's guess where he'll fit. Perhaps the Patriots went with a defensive back not only to address a need but to keep up with the proverbial "arms race" in the AFC East as well.
The Jets have asserted themselves as the best defensive team in the division thanks to the acquisition of cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who teams with Darrelle Revis for a formidable 1-2 punch. Once considered the most dangerous defense in the league, let alone the division, the Patriots have been spotty as they've tried to infuse more youth and speed.
With McCourty, they'll be faster and younger, but will they be better? This all depends on where he fits. Clearly, the Patriots didn't see much value at No. 22 or 24, nor did they think McCourty would be off the board if they traded down. In addition to adding another young defender, they also acquired a fourth-round pick from Denver and moved up from No. 119 to 90 in the second trade with Dallas.

On Monday, the New Jersey Devils traded forward Rod Pelley and defenseman Mark Fraser to the Anaheim Ducks in return for defenseman Kurtis Foster and minor league goalie Timo Pielmeier. The deal also included a 7th round draft pick going to the Ducks in 2012.
Pelley went scoreless in the seven games played for the Devils this season, while Fraser went scoreless in four games played. The combined salaries for Pelley and Fraser, who will both be unrestricted free agents after this season, total $1.25 million.
Foster, in his seventh NHL season, has only played in nine games this season for Anaheim. He missed the first six games of this season recovering from thigh surgery. In those nine games he accrued only two points and eight penalty minutes. The Devils will be looking to Foster for help on their power play. 22 year old goalie, Timo Pielmeier, has been in Elmira (ECHL). He appeared in 10 games this season with a 3.45 GAA.
With these additions,Pete DeBoer will need to make roster moves when center Travis Zajac and defenseman Anton Volchenkov are soon taken off IR.
"I think we get a pretty good acquisition very soon in Travis Zajac, who will be back soon and Anton should be back by the end of the week," Lamoriello said. "When you have such quality individuals (like Pelley and Fraser) who've given you so much each and every day in practice and in the locker room as support, you try and do the best for them. This is a win situation for both teams. They're getting two role players who will be tremendous for them and we're getting a player who has tremendous upside in the role we see that he'll fit."

Well with my Kel-Tec I plan to continue firing until I hear click. Hopefully I will have plugged seven .380 rounds into COM. I am going to stick with HP's though. The only FMJ pistol round I would use for SD is 230grs in .45 ACP!
I am considering looking into the Corbon DPX rounds....they seem to offer a little of both worlds, some expansion with good penetration. Do they make those for .380?

Culture has huge effect on designing architecture form and space and also on quality of resident lives. Architecture applied in the places should be based on recognition of resident culture so as to satisfy their mental and physical needs, otherwise they would not be able to communicate with the space and feel pleasant sense of belonging. Although most designers focus on significance and influence of culture on building, they simply ignore the essence of culture and its impact on designs. In this research, in order to recognize how Islamic Iranian culture components manifest in the body of traditional house architecture, old houses in Kashan by using case study and descriptive and analytical method are studied. Considering culture elements including values, national norms and customs, myths and religious beliefs, spatial hierarchy, internal and external consistency, privacy, and communication with the nature and type of planning as the main criteria, this conclusion can be drawn that despite of all functional and regional limitations, architects pay adequate attention to resident culture and its impact on the deepest layers of their mind. Such researches are truly essential to survive contemporary housing pattern which is constantly falling into decline under the municipal laws.

Monument of Tehran
The tower is part of the Azadi Cultural Complex, located in Tehran's Azadi Square in an area of about 50,000 m². There are several fountains around the base of the tower and a museum underground.
Built with white marble stone from the Isfahan Province, it includes eight thousand blocks of stone. The stones were all located and supplied by Ghanbar Rahimi, whose knowledge of the quarries was second to none and who was known as "Soltan e Sang e Iran" (Iran's Sultan of Stone). The shape of each block was calculated by computer, and programmed to include all the instructions for the building's work. The actual construction of the tower was carried out, and supervised by Iran's finest master stonemason, Ghaffar Davarpanah Varnosfaderani. The main financing was provided by a group of five hundred Iranian industrialists. The inauguration took place on October 16, 1971.
The iconic Monument des Martyrs in Algiers (built, 1982) shows a strong influence by this monument, in its general design as well as its details.

The story of two women who saved four puppies sounds more like an action movie than an animal rescue.
It all started July 18 in West Hollywood, Calif., when Samantha Haas spotted a worrisome sight: a man stuffing four puppies into a sealed plastic bin.
"I knew these puppies were in grave danger, they were tiny, they didn't have their mother. They were in an unventilated plastic bin," Haas told local station CBS2. "I knew their breathing was compromised."
Haas called her friend Annie Hart, who runs an animal rescue organization called Bill Foundation, and Hart sprang to action. Hart; her husband, James; and their dog Arnold piled into their car and took off.
According to a detailed account Annie Hart gave Yahoo News, this is what happened next:
Haas then called again in a panic. The man and his bin holding the puppies had boarded a public bus. Hart, meanwhile, was still a mile away.
Hart directed Haas to drive in front of the bus to slow it down. It worked.
At the next bus stop, Hart, now stopped behind the bus, ran out to board it. The doors closed in her face. "I'm in overalls with bed head," she told Yahoo! News. It was close to midnight, and maybe the bus driver had a point.
Hart jumped back into her car and followed the bus to the next stop. There, Hart yelled through the closed doors, "There're puppies in your bus and they can't breathe. They're stuck in a Tupperware bin."
This time, the doors opened and Hart walked on, paid her fare and found the man and the bin. She managed to persuade him to get off the bus by explaining her animal rescue work.
After some negotiation, the man handed over the puppies. Hart and Haas decided to name the brave pups after X-Men superheroes: Logan, Raven, Elliot and Luke.
As for the daring pet rescue, the two say the rescue itself is the best reward.
"If the people that love animals the most don't do something, no one does anything," Haas, founder of Wag Aware, told CBS2.
Three weeks later, three are bouncing back. The littlest one, Luke, has health problems. But Hart has hope. "He's an X-men, so hopefully he'll be a tough little fighter," she said.

The fact that summer left-back signing Razvan Rat was released by West Ham in the January window before bringing in Napoli's Pablo Almero on loan tells all about the East London side's rather precarious situation at No.3.
Heading into the summer, securing the services of a new left-back will undoubtedly be one of Sam Allardyce's leading priorities, and according to the tabloids, one of the more coveted names on the Hammers' gaffer's shortlist is Granada's Guilherme Siqueira.
The Brazilian defender is famed for his goalscoring prowess, having racked up twelve goals in 138 La Liga outings for Nazaries, including a lobbed penalty against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Last summer, the 27 year-old was hotly mooted with a Premier League switch, with Everton lining him up as a like-for-like successor to Leighton Baines, giving you some idea of Siqueira's forward-thinking, free-roaming style.
He joined Benfica on a season-long loan instead, despite reported interest from Real Madrid also. Siqueira's deal included a future fee clause of €7million, but having featured just 17 times in the Primeira Liga this term as Aguias claim pole position in the Portuguese table, a permanent switch is looking increasingly unlikely.
That would allow the Hammers a fantastic opportunity to weigh in, securing the services of a creative left-back who can claim to be Europa League standard.
But with Fabio Coentrao expected to leave the Bernabeu this summer, West Ham's keenness could be eclipsed by Real Madrid if they reignite their interest in the Brazilian.

LEVYdance's critically acclaimed performance experience hosted in multiple rooms at the General's Residence for three evenings filled with dancing, drinking, and eating.
Named one of the "Top Ten Moments in Dance" by the San Francisco Chronicle following its 2011 premiere, ROMP is an immersive experience where audience and performers inhabit the same space, raising the stakes for live performance and creating a welcoming environment that is charged with possibility. This limited engagement brings ROMP to the beautiful General's Residence at Fort Mason Center Nov. 21 – 23.
ROMP seats dancers and audience members together at banquet tables, providing a familiar setting for everyday interactions to transform into an increasingly surreal and hyper expressive world. Whether playful and exuberant or emotionally raw, this world unites audience and performer together in the experience. LEVYdance's signature partnering and dynamic physicality are witnessed at close range, amplifying the intimate connections inherent in Levy's work.
The San Francisco Chronicle said, "Audience members were reluctant to leave, lingering at the tables and chatting with perfect strangers, as if it were difficult to leave such a good time behind." The General's Residence, a large two story home completed in 1877 and wonderfully preserved by the National Park Service, provides an ideal setting for ROMP. LEVYdance will host audiences in an experience that invites them from room to room, revealing fantastic surprises around every corner.

I really thought that this marriage had a chance. I'm an optimist that way. I didn't care that she was a recovering meth addict and that her future husband had no discernible job. I just knew that Jodie Sweetin and Cody Herpin would make it. I was wrong. Jodie dumped him. Jodie filed divorce papers in the OC on Wednesday. They were married in July of 2007 and had a daughter in April. OK, well Jodie had the baby and Cory just watched.
They are actually filming a reality show right now so this could be a little problematic. Of course it could also be the season ending cliffhanger and we already know the spoiler. Crap. Do you think this should have a spoiler warning at the top? Are all of us going to be glued to our sets each week waiting to see what happens in the life of Jodie and whats his name. Oh, Cory. Sorry.
Well, if I have ruined any kind of dramatic thing for you, then I apologize. There doesn't seem to have been any kind of statement released, but I'm sure it would have said something like this.
Both Cory and I love each other very much, but just felt that at this time we needed to move in separate directions in our lives. We both remain committed to our daughter and hope that you will respect our privacy.
Feel better now that you got something official?

My mom and little brother Sprocket are doing a 3K walk in my memory!!!! It's on April 24th and it's the 2nd Annual K9 Cancer Walk. This is doubly special for mom because of me and because her work and research are dedicated to animal cancer treatment and cure, but mostly for me!!!
We would love if you could give a little something, our team name is Lyle's Angels. Catchy, huh? Or.........if you're local - you could join our team and walk with us!!!!
Well, my friends. I have been at the Bridge for a whole year now. I miss my pals and my aunties and my sister and my boy and my mom too. But I'm doing good here. I still keep an eye out on all my pals (especially Sophie!!!). And I watch over Max and Sami too!
Puppy Paws
Ten years of puppy paws moved outside today.
Inside my heart is breaking,
the Light of my Life - Lyle, has gone away.
I held his head, kissed his blurry eyes, and said "I Love You, Boy"
With gentle hands and heavy heart, I released his soul to God, crying for his spirit to be free.
Never dreamed it would hurt so much,
Guess I wasn't thinking much of Me.
But he must be missing something,
he left his paws upon my heart.
Kind reminders of the time we had together,
I never wanted him to be the first to part.
They tug as fiercely as the shoestrings he once played with;
the tug of wars together, the one's I let him win.
The "tennies", the toys, all the things he loved speak about his passing and I fall apart again.
Those little puppy "grunts" and kisses seem so far away.
I cry: "What was I thinking?
I said it'd be OK."
I said; "I'll be alright without you, If you really have to go.
No need for you to fret or worry,
we had our chance to love each other so."
Our final road together remains yet to be seen.
Puppy paws can be so gentle,
the pain they leave in passing, so mean.
"I'll hold them safely in my heart", I tell Him;
"but I'll let them run at will.
When we cross the Bridge together,
I know they will be still."
In Loving memory of Lyle

City of Yorkton and SGI CANADA prepare for spring melt
March 31, 2011
The City of Yorkton and SGI CANADA are sharing tips to help residents keep their basements dry this spring.
A heavier than usual spring runoff is expected this year due to the wettest fall on record and a higher than average snowfall. To guard against water in basements, the City and SGI CANADA encourage residents to:
- Clear neighbourhood catch basins to help water drain.
- Shovel or remove snow from around your home and move it so it will drain away from the foundation.
- Clear channels in the ice/snow to allow melt water to drain away.
- Ensure downspouts are extended so they discharge rain or meltwater at least two meters away from the foundation.
- Check to make sure your sump pump is working. If you don't have a sump pump, consider installing one. Contact a plumber for assistance if required.
- Consider installing a mainline Sewer Backwater Valve to protect against sewer backup if you don't have one.
- Keep basement sewer caps in place.
- Check your basement regularly for signs of water and consider installing a water-sensing alarm.
SGI CANADA is also getting ready for the melt by reminding residents to protect their homes from flooding, seepage and sewer backup. Although the SGI CANADA Home Pak policy covers many water escape and rupture situations, damage caused by flooding, seepage and continuous or repeated leakage is not covered. Sewer backup insurance is often sold as an optional coverage and may be subject to certain conditions, limitations or exclusions. Ask your insurance broker for details.
For updates on the City's spring melt plans, visit the City's website at www.city.yorkton.sk.ca. For more loss prevention tips, visit the Safety Tips section on SGI CANADA's website.

The "Plus" part of its name implies that this new incarnation of the Galaxy S phone holds a few advantages over the original Galaxy S, and this is a fact - it's to pack a single-core 1.4GHz processor, Android 2.3 plus TouchWiz 3.0, as well as a bigger (1650mAh) battery.
Even more importantly for some people, the Samsung Galaxy S Plus' back cover won't feature the trademark glossy plastic we know so well from various devices manufactured by the Korean company - rather, it will be made of metal, which will surely give this phone more weight and more premium feel.
The Samsung Galaxy S Plus is set to be available for a steep price - when it's launched in April it will cost $842 or 23,990 rubles.

In this week's free-to-all InDesign FX video, I show how you can use gradients to create different chrome effects. A shiny metallic chrome effect is a great demonstration of the powers of a simple gradient fill like this one:
I'll show you how to use a linear gradient to create a convincing chrome look in any InDesign object or live text with as few as four color stops. There's no need to invoke InDesign's transparency effects at all. The key is to simply drag the gradient stops very close together, so they're nearly touching, to create a point somewhere in the gradient where colors shift abruptly.
When gradient stops rub elbows, an abrupt change in color happens, and that is what creates the illusion of chrome. Most commonly chrome gradients include some blue to represent a reflection of the sky, and some brown or black to represent a reflection of the ground, but feel free to take this idea and run with it. Experiment with various tints and colors to make your own chrome gradients, and remember, you can click and drag with the Gradient tool to apply your chrome gradient over any length and at any angle of your choosing.
If learning chrome effects doesn't satisfy your shiny-object wishes, I have another new video this week exclusively for members of the lynda.com Online Training Library® called Creating Glass and Plastic Effects. Here's an example of the glass effect discussed in the member-exclusive course:

Sevendust - There's No Place Like Home
On his ninth birthday, John Connolly received his first guitar, a cheap little acoustic his parents gave him. Although he immediately took to the instrument, tragedy occurred when he broke a string, thus putting a quick end to his career as a child prodigy.
"I couldn't figure out to play the damn thing, let alone change a string," Connolly says then laughs. "I was so frustrated that I put it down and swore never to pick it up again. After that, I switched to drums." Almost true to his word, the Jersey-born, Atlanta-raised Connolly sat on a drum stool for 15 years before finally rediscovering the guitar in the early 90s. "Although I love drums and still play every once in a while, I was frustrated by how it limited my involvement in the songwriting process," he says. "I knew that if I wanted to write, I needed to play something that had a melodic element to it."
These days, Connolly can not only fix a string, he's also quite proficient in the art of speaker-shredding, as proven by his work with the Atlanta-based neo-metal band, Sevendust. His counterpart, Clint Lowery, is the melodic half of Sevendust's raging attack, and unlike Connolly, he's been playing guitar for close to twenty years. A native of North Carolina, Lowery grew up during "the shred era," listening to players like Steve Vai and George Lynch, while cutting his teeth in a variety of local metal bands. Originally, he, too, wanted to be a drummer, but he couldn't afford a kit. "I remember sitting at home, waiting for my mother to arrive, hoping that she had gotten the credit approval for a drumset," he says. "She came home with a guitar instead, and I've been playing ever since."
The combination of Connolly's beat-breaking rhythms and Lowery's fluid guitar lines has catapulted Sevendust to the top of the loud rock heap. Over the course of the past two years, the band has played over five hundred shows, including the main stages at OZZfest and the Warped Tour, as well as a smoldering performance at Woodstock 99.
With its new album, Home, co-produced by the band and Toby Wright (Korn, Alice In Chains), the guitar duo reveals a surprising sense of raging pop and hummable melodies beneath an ear-bruising wall of distortion. The result is pure ear candy, all creamy in the middle and jaw-breakingly crunchy around the edges. "You always want your second record to be better than your first," says Connolly. "We worked real hard on this and I think we've got a good thing going." Talk about an understatement.
Guitar.com: Now that Woodstock's come and gone, are you surprised by all the reports of violence?
John Connolly: Not really. When you put that many people together in one place at one time, anything can and will happen. But having said that, I didn't see anybody get crazy or out of hand, and to be honest, we really had a great time there. Unfortunately, the reports that followed diluted the experience for us.
Guitar.com: Did you sense a potential for disaster?
Connolly: We played on the last day, and when we went on, the crowd had already been out there for two days and was pretty rowdy. There was definitely a certain energy when we walked out onstage, but it was nowhere near as crazy as all the people that got trampled during Korn's set, or all the people who tore down the barricades during the Limp Bizkit set. Of course, the fires started happening not long after we got offstage, so we got blamed for that, even though we had nothing to do with it.
Guitar.com: Clint, what will you remember most about being there?
Clint Lowery: My mother and father played in a band called Plant and See during the 60s, and they always wanted to go to Woodstock, but never did. Right before we went onstage, I phoned them and they were so happy for me. It was like they were living vicariously through me. It made me feel like I had accomplished something.
Guitar.com: So they must be pretty supportive about you playing music for a living?
Lowery: My father wasn't into the idea at first. He had struggled with music for many years and wanted me to have an education. Once things started happening and he realized that I was determined, he became supportive. Then after I gave him a gold record, he became real supportive (laughs).
Guitar.com: Does anybody else in your family play?
Lowery: My older brother plays bass. He used to be in Stuck Mojo and now he's playing with some of the guys from Life of Agony. We played in a band together for about eight years. My younger brother sings, plays drums and plays guitar.
Guitar.com: Do you ever get together and jam?
Lowery: Oh yeah, we're like the Partridge Family. My dad still plays guitar and my mom plays piano and guitar and sings like an angel. She's like a cross between Janis Joplin and Grace Slick. We actually write songs together, or play the songs from my parents' old band. Sometimes the neighbors will come over to the house and we'll just kick it. I definitely want to do a side project with my two brothers. We'll be the evil version of Hanson.
Guitar.com: John, what did your parents say when you told them you wanted a career in music?
Connolly: They weren't real happy about it. I think they had aspirations of me being a doctor or a lawyer or something like that. Let's be honest, there are no guarantees involved with the entertainment industry and my parents come from a conservative background. However, they were supportive because they knew I wasn't doing it to be rebellious or to try and piss them off, I just loved music and wanted to play.
Guitar.com: Did you tell them it was their fault for giving you that acoustic guitar?
Connolly: Absolutely. Even though things with the band are great, they still give me shit to this day, saying, "We never should have bought that for you." If only they had known.
