Morning, i have thick white smoke now coming out of my exhaust pipes, i changed my oil about 3 weeks ago and used 4 qts. (synthetic)and about 7 oz. of lucas oil stab. had work done to it after that,(new pipes k&n air filter) at a shop and when i got it back everything was great. then when i would put the key in and turn it to the on position the oil pres light would not light when the bike was warm but when i let it cool down it would light back up(when the bike wasnt running) went back to shop and they said that the pressure switch was right next to the front pipe and it may be going bad or that the switch is over heating next to the pipes and works again when it cools off. on start up(first ride of the day) you could see a wet spot on the pavement and then started to smoke a little after the bike got warm. talked to people on here and said i put too much oil in and to drain some, i did and it seems to stop the wet mark it used to make but it smoked like a MF still. not sure if its just burning off still, shop i talked to said that if the bike didnt use synthetic oil before(im second owner and dont know what he used) and then switched over that it might eat at the rings. the bike runs great!!! nothing that would make u think anythings is wrong other than the smoke, and its only at stop lights too, start moving and no more smoke, now the oil is on the stick but does look a little low
please help me

Apple dodged more than one bullet at their iPhone 4 Press Conference yesterday. Some that I think many people had not even seen coming. But that's because by definition most industry observers, or journalists, are followers and not leaders. Being a leader is something that Apple very certainly is used to – and good at. Some pundits went into the … Read More
Blackberry Coming Under Pressure from Apple and Google for Market Share
It seems that the fairytale success of the Blackberry is coming under increasing pressure from both Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) , as demand for iPhone 4 and Android handsets, and their increasing market share steadily encroaches on RIM's market dominance. A recent survey from ChangeWave Research completed at the end of June, prior to the iPhone 4 launch, shows that RIM … Read More

With six food loving kiddos, I've learned that there are certain holiday food traditions you just can't mess with or you will "ruin Thanksgiving forever!" That was the reaction when I suggested adding a side dish of mushrooms to our traditional Thanksgiving feast.
To combat the six kill-joys I have been blessed with, I made a batch of these Parmesan Garlic Roasted Mushrooms a few weeks ago along side some gorgeous grilled steaks. It was my version of a "soft opening" for a new holiday side dish. They went over beautifully, except with my 4 year old who has become obsessive about "things" touching her food. Suddenly, all food must to be served in it's natural state with no visible seasoning or complimentary ingredient stuck to it. Yeah, right. "Eat it or don't" is the rule in our house but remember, there is no more food until breakfast 🙂
- 1 pound mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and large ones cut in half
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 2 Tb olive oil
- 2 Tb chopped olives or capers
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 C chopped flat leaf Italian parsley
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 Tb butter
- 1/4 C fresh parmesan cheese, shredded
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly spray a shallow casserole dish with nonstick spray. In your dish, toss together the mushrooms, garlic, oil, olives or capers, lemon juice, parsley, salt and pepper. Dot the butter evenly over the top of the mushrooms and roast for 20 minutes, stirring half way through the cooking process.
- Remove from the oven, turn on the broiler and place the oven rack on the highest level. Sprinkle the cheese over the mushrooms, return to the oven on the top rack and broil until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 3 minutes.

by Susan Dench of Ladies Against Feminism, SusanDench.com and Bangor Daily NewsMs Dench might or might not be Quiverfull but the fact that Ladies Against Feminism are quoting her makes it likely she is connected to some evangelical patriarchal religion.In the traditional world, women brought out the best in their men, who subsumed their more base instincts as they fought hard to earn and win the respect of the women they loved.Before the sexual revolution, the woman was put on a pedestal, and both sexes expected the man to court her, woo her, fight for her hand, solicit her hard-won affection. Oh, of course there was premarital sex, but it wasn't as prevalent, and if a girl got p … [Read more...]

Be A Better Listener
How I Finally Learned To Shut Up & Listen
I'm trying to change that. And if you identify with this column at all, I implore you to do the same.
This attribute doesn't just extend to truly listening when others talk. It's more than that. To an extent, it's also about the aforementioned negative quality of narcissism.
You may not want to admit that you've been narcissistic, but you likely have.
To an extent, at one point or another, we all have.
Here's an example: Over the weekend, one of my best friends told me that he and his wife are expecting a child. This comes just two weeks after another friend of mine, a former roommate, made an identical announcement of impending fatherhood. Positive news on both accounts. Great friends with great wives who'll surely pop out great babies.
That being said, both times I heard the news, I internalized the information and immediately thought about how that factors into my own stupid life.
"I'm the same age at both of these guys. Should I be having a kid?"
"Do I even want kids?"
"Sh*t, I don't even have a girlfriend right now, and they have pregnant wives!"
Comparably selfish questions flooded my dumb, bearded head. When I clearly should have been listening to my friends' excitement and/or concerns with Maron-like attentiveness, I instead immediately retreated into my own head. And that's not to say I don't care, or that I'm not excited for my friends, because I so very genuinely do and am.
It's just that I shamefully allowed myself to come first, and that sucks. It's an unfortunate part of human nature. As a whole, I think our attention span is decreasing with every iDevice that we purchase. It's sad, but true. And that undoubtedly has an effect on how we listen — how we retain information. But we should never let that affect our compassion, our relatability or our ability to intelligently converse.
It's not all about me. It's not all about you. Life isn't a one-man show.
And if this column is shedding light on an identical character flaw you may have, I'd like to say, "I'm sorry," but I'm going to say, "You're welcome."
And if you can't see why that is, then you haven't been listening.

"Chicago's Best" Fried Chicken
◄ Check out this video that features Club 81's Fried Chicken on WGN's Chicago's Best program.
"…the seafood selection here is as interesting as a Rush Street jacket-and-tie restaurant: red snapper, lobster tail, mahi mahi, shrimp, orange roughy, frog legs. Walleye and perch were solid on my visits — flaky, firm, clean-tasting white fishes, with a light battered shell that didn't taste of oil." — Kevin Pang, Chicago Tribune Read full review.►

Know the Rules of Sharing Airspace
First things first: the rise in the number of drones has increased the number of reports of drones passing within 100 feet of airliners—this is not something you want to do.
As a drone pilot, new or experience, you need to educate yourself with the airspace regulations of your location and state and know the general rules of safe flying. Commercial and private passenger aircraft are not always at 35,000 feet. Living near an airport or living near an area where private passenger aircrafts are sharing the same airspace, it is your responsibility to ensure you do not interfere with the operations or safety of anyone in the air or on the ground.
Know What a Drone is and How it Functions
This may seem like a no-brainer, but many people do not know exactly what a drone is, how many propellers it has, how it stays in the air, what they are capable of, and what uses they have. Many people think of drones as military weapons or planes one can fly. Make sure you know exactly what a drone is before buying.
A drone is a multirotor, RC (remote control) flying device that offers a variety of ways to entertain those who love to fly RC devices and those who want to experience stunts, races, or professional video and photography from the sky.
Many RC drones offer first-person viewing, which may include a screen on the remote controller or onboard microSD storage to view at a later time. Most drones that include cameras are capable of HD and even 4K video capture and images with 360 degree control by the pilot. This is done using a rotating camera called a gimbal.
What is your Intended Usage
Knowing what kind of use you want out of a drone is crucial for narrowing down your options and finding the perfect drone for you and your budget.
Drones range from $50 to thousands of dollars—you definitely want to make sure you hit the right target. Along with your intended usage is your experience level. If you a new drone pilot and are looking to buy a drone with camera capabilities, buy a less-expensive model to start with features that will allow you to learn how to operate such a drone without worrying about crashing a thousand dollar model. Once you have mastered it, you can move on to a better model and you will have the pilot experience and inspiration to make good use of it.
If you are on a budget, there are still great drones out there. The brains of the drone, such as the flight controller and onboard processor, are what makes a drone more stable and maneuverable and allow it to perform various functions in the air. For drone racers, stung pilots, and those looking for entertainment and cool tricks, you can buy an inexpensive model that can do all of these things, as long as you know what to look for in the hardware.
When starting out in the drone community, it is the beginners and quasi-professional pilots that need the most help and guidance on what is important to look for in a drone, and how to make a smart purchase.
One should not go online and look at different drones randomly and find one at a price they like and buy it.
You really must pre-plan. And this process is simple. Just know what you want to use your drone for: entertainment (racing, stunts), photography/filming, or other uses. Then, know what your budget is and filter the options down to your range. After that, make sure you choose reliable brands unless you are actually seeking a cheap drone you are likely to destroy as you learn to use it—if that is the case, it is a great way to learn and not worry about what damage you are going to put it through while learning. Know which brands are suitable to your expertise level.
DJI is the best drone sellers in the business. They are expensive and are for professionals. Other websites, sellers, and retailers also sell different brands that are intended for different uses and expertise level of the pilot. Know what your match is.
Also know your acronyms—if you are a beginner, buy a Ready to Fly drone (RTF)—if you see other acronyms, these are going to be drones that need some assembly or are for hobbyists who make their own drones and supply their own controllers. The safest bet are RTF drones, which are assembled, come with a controller, and are ready to fly.

One of the most famous and iconic landmarks in Britain celebrates its 15th anniversary this week.
The Angel of the North, in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, was completed on February 16, 1998.
The sculpture was designed by Antony Gormley and stands on a hill on the southern edge of Low Fell, overlooking the A1 and A167 roads into Tyneside.
The steel statue, which has been visited by more than two million people, is 20 metres (66 ft) tall, with wings measuring 54 metres (177 ft) across.
The wings do not stand straight sideways, but are angled 3.5 degrees forward, which Gormley did to create a 'sense of embrace'.
According to Gormley, the significance of an angel was three-fold: first, to signify that beneath the site of its construction, coal miners worked for two centuries; second, to grasp the transition from an industrial to information age, and third, to serve as a focus for our evolving hopes and fears
To mark the 15th birthday of one of the UK's most iconic pieces of public art, a special exhibition has gone on display.
A rarely seen prototype, used by designer Gormley, has been unveiled at an art gallery in the North East.
The scale version of the sculpture has been in storage for the last 15 years but was recently restored by the Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums Service.
Leader of Gateshead Council, Mick Henry, said: "It's difficult to believe that it's so long ago that we welcomed the Angel of the North to its home in Gateshead.
"At the same time, it's hard to imagine Gateshead without it. The Angel has become part of what makes Gateshead, the North East and indeed even Britain, special."
Julie Milne, chief curator of Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums, said: "The Angel of the North is intrinsic to the landscape of the North East region now, a true iconic figure. We're very excited to welcome this extraordinary item to the Shipley Art Gallery."
A group of children from St Joseph's Primary School in Gateshead also attended the unveiling of the maquette.

Being, aevum, and nothingness: Edith Stein on death and dying

This article seeks to present for the first time a more systematic account of Edith Stein's views on death and dying. First, I will argue that death does not necessarily lead us to an understanding of our earthly existence as aevum, that is, an experience of time between eternity and finite temporality. We always bear the mark of our finitude, including our finite temporality, even when we exist within the eternal mind of God. To claim otherwise, is to make identical our eternity with God's eternity, thereby undermining the traditional Scholastic argument, which Stein holds, that there is no real relation between the being (and, therefore, (a)temporality) of God and the being of human persons. Second, I will argue that Stein excludes the category of potentiality from her discussion of death as a relation between the fullness or actuality of being and nothingness. In fact, death is more a relation between possibility/potentiality and nothingness than a relation between actual fullness and nothingness. What Stein describes as fullness ought to be read as potential.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX led higher by RBC after results, RIM rally
* TSX rises 56.41 points, or 0.46 percent, to 12,196.74 * Nine of the 10 main sectors advance * Royal Bank of Canada up 0.89 pct on earnings * RIM up 7 percent after Goldman Sachs upgrade By John Tilak TORONTO, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index hit its highest level of the week on Thursday, led higher by Royal Bank of Canada after strong quarterly earnings and further boosted by a rally in Research in Motion Ltd after an influential upgrade. The market was also supported by optimism that a deal would be reached to avert the U.S. fiscal crisis and positive housing data from the country, Canada's biggest trading partner. The combination of healthy Canadian bank earnings and some encouraging global economic data could help the Toronto index extend gains further into the end of the year, said John Kinsey, portfolio manager at Caldwell Securities Ltd. "We're getting into the Santa Claus rally. We are going to have a good market here for the next two weeks," he said. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 56.41 points, or 0.46 percent, at 12,196.74. Nine of the 10 main sectors on the index were trading higher. Energy stocks, up 1 percent, played the biggest role of any sector in leading the market higher, helped by a rise in oil prices. Canadian Natural Resources rose 1.8 percent to C$28.75, and Suncor Energy climbed 1.1 percent to C$32.96. Financials were up 0.6 percent, with Royal Bank of Canada rising 0.7 percent to C$58.77. Canada's biggest bank reported a 22 percent jump in fourth-quarter profit on rising fixed income trading revenue and steady loan growth. Shares of other banks rose on optimism about the strength of the sector, and some of them will be reporting quarterly results next week. Toronto Dominion Bank was up 0.8 percent at C$82.18. TD and RBC played the biggest role of any two stocks in leading the market higher. Research in Motion, which surged more than 12 percent in early trading, was up 7 percent at C$11.73 after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock ahead of the release of its BlackBerry 10 device lineup. "RIM has had a nice rally. It could be setting us up for a very big disappointment with the new BlackBerry 10. Or it may be a turnaround story," Kinsey said.

Fourth break-in for Blountville Little League park
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - A big theft has a Little League program calling foul.
A ransacked announcer's box serves as evidence of a thief's homerun at Bernie Webb Park, and that's a tough sight for Blountville Little League's treasurer Danny Williams to see.
"They stole all that equipment which was a couple of amplifiers and some computer equipment, and [they] also got into our mowing shed which is right here behind us. They stole mowers, [and a] couple other pieces of equipment," Williams told News 5.
In the process, some of the park's buildings were damaged, and the price tag isn't cheap.
"The equipment that we had taken this time is running around $3,000. That doesn't take into account the repairs that we have to do," said Williams.
Williams told us the equipment is covered by Little League insurance, but since the suspect[s] broke a window, and that's part of the structure, they'll have to come up with the money for that.
"That adds up probably another $400 or $500," Williams added.
We learned the program will have to rely on donations or higher registration fees to cover that cost since they don't have any direct funding. Williams said that is frustrating, because they've invested in keeping vandals out, since they've been hit before.
"This is the fourth time, I think," said Williams.
For this case, investigators hope they can track down those involved.
"One of the suspects cut themselves as they were possibly breaking the window to get in to the announcer's tower, so that evidence could prove to be beneficial," said Leslie Earhart, public information officer with the Sullivan County Sheriff's Office.
Justice would be a victory for a program trying to keep a safe place for kids who just want to play ball.
"Anybody that would do this to children doesn't have a very high place in my book," said Williams.
The Sullivan County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone with information to call them at (423) 279-7500.

they played a clip from your show on the latest Best-Of-The-Left podcast, the one where you tear down Maria Butafuco on CNBC for "reporting" on Jamie Dimon's record breaking fine.
I may have said it at the time, but GOD. DAMN. IT, JIMMY, great job, just fucking masterful work on your part and the whole panel. I was choking on a mixture of laughter and outrage.
I wish I could turn over my entire paycheck to you right now.

Every Labour activist I know opposes the proposed Child Benefit cut for higher tax earners.
I do too.
But why do we oppose it?
There are two possible reasons:
First, we might regard the principle of universality is central. This would lead us to argue that money paid to all increases benefit take up, encourages all to have a 'stake' in the system, and means all children get support.
Further,we could argue that the apparent 'waste' of giving child benefit to high income families is largely an artifact of the system – those high income families who contribute via taxes would likely share in any benefit from the reduction of their own benefits, and do in fact gain from the administrative simplicity of universality.
If we sought to limit the fiscal gain of high income families, the obvious move would be an increase in Taxation, preferably at a level above that of £40,000.
Alternatively, we could say that in principle it is foolish for the state to distribute limited resources to high income families who, largely, don't need the additional income.
Further, we could agree that in a society much more capable of tracking individual family incomes than sixty years ago, the administrative and social benefits of universality are overstated. Targeted interventions are more effective use of resources.
Having said all that, we could argue that the issue is therefore not the principle, but the implementation. That it is unfair to treat single earner families more harshly than dual earner families and using the Tax system creates a cut off point for benefits which is both far too low for single earner families* and represents a significant disincentive to increased income, especially for 'Traditional' families.
It strikes me that these are very different reasons for opposition, and following either creates a different range of policy options for a future Labour government.
Labour's policy position is that we would like, in principle, to return to universal child benefit, but cannot commit to doing so because we cannot know the future.
This is an entirely reasonable position, but has the consequence of not setting out why, exactly, we oppose the Governments policy. Our attitude could be either of the two I have set out. I've heard both used, by the same person in the same interview.
There may well be a political advantage (unity, flexibility) for avoiding the question of why we oppose the government this week.
There will not be a long term governing advantage.
* Though note, dual earner families are far more likely to face high childcare costs and therefore to "need" child benefit, which is an argument I am amazed I have never heard a government minister make

Glee star Naya Rivera wants everyone to know that she doesn't shower every day, and that showering habits are different for various races – or so she says.
"I think that white people shower a lot more than ethnics," Rivera said during her appearance on The View on Tuesday. "I think that showering more than once again, or every day, is such a white people thing."
NEWS: Naya Rivera Slams Kim K. for Butt-Baring Magazine Cover, While Lorde Enthusiastically Approves
"My mom is half-black, half-Puerto Rican. She showers every day, so I can say this," Rivera added, confusingly defending her comment. "But I can say I am now married to a white man [Ryan Dorsey], and he showers a lot."
Rivera tied the knot with actor Ryan Dorsey in July 2014, and apparently he is a very clean man.
NEWS: Big Sean Raps About 'Crazy B*tch': Dissing Naya Rivera?
"I mean like two, three times a day," Rivera said, explaining just how clean her husband likes to be. "And I'm like, 'What are you doing?'"
Soon after Rivera's comments aired, the Internet responded accordingly, taking Rivera to task for her comments that some found to be racist, ill-informed or simply gross.
I DIE! This is what sets us back ....statements like this from #NayaRivera at #TheView this morning:… http://t.co/ShPSfUbZGQ— Nina Terrero (@Nina_Terrero) January 14, 2015
"Ethnics".....wtf. Ok, 1st of all, that comment's not even true. 2nd, "ethnics" sounds like a word that a KKK leader would use. #NayaRivera— Audrey (@kyanovcyanide) January 14, 2015
I'm not sure what ethnic people #NayaRivera was referring to, but she should speak for herself at all times. #PRnightmare— Lexi Lue (@Lexi_Lue) January 14, 2015
#NayaRivera is out of her damn mind. Also she pretty much said people of color don't like bathing. So...no.— Nestlé Snipes (@ChocnessMonsta) January 13, 2015
The actress later took to Twitter to defend her comments, which she didn't exactly retract or apologize for, tweeting, "When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!"
When you get out of the shower today, get a sense of humor. Love ya!— Naya Rivera Dorsey (@NayaRivera) January 13, 2015

The combination of functional and anatomic information from SPECT/CT increased diagnostic accuracy as well as modified therapeutic strategies in nearly three-quarters of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), according to a group of researchers from Shanghai Chest Hospital in China.
DTC is the most common form of thyroid cancer and one of the success stories in the war on cancer. Since the advent of radioiodine therapy, it has been considered one of the more curable cancers. In 2009, about 37,340 new cases of thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. Of the new cases, about 28,410 will occur in women, and 8,930 in men, according to the American Cancer Society.
Currently, patients with DTC who have had their thyroid removed are treated with radioactive iodine, which effectively zeros in on and kills any remaining cancerous thyroid cells. Radioiodine, I-131, is taken up by any thyroid tissue not removed by surgery, including cancerous cells spreading to other body parts, such as lymph nodes. In addition to emitting electrons that destroy the tissue harboring the radionuclide, radioactive iodine emits photons suitable for imaging.
"Because of high sensitivity and specificity, thyroglobulin measurement combined with I-131 whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) currently remains indispensable for the management of patients with DTC," wrote the authors of the study published in the December 2008 issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
"However, a lack of anatomic landmarks and the physiologic or other pathologic uptake of the tracer somewhat complicate interpretation of the images," they noted.
The prospective study, conducted by the departments of radiology and nuclear medicine, was designed to evaluate the value of 131-I SPECT/CT over planar WBS in the management of DTC patients after the oral administration of a therapeutic dose of I-131. The scientists enrolled 66 consecutive DTC patients who were considered to have locally advance or metastatic disease after total or near-total thyroidectomy. Planar WBS imaging and SPECT/CT imaging were acquired on a GE Healthcare Hawkeye SPECT/CT system.
The planar images were assessed by two nuclear medicine physicians who were aware of the medical history of the patients. The I-131 SPECT/CT findings were compared with the findings of planar imaging obtained on a dedicated workstation and was interpreted by one of the nuclear medicine physicians and an experienced radiologist. The SPECT/CT findings were confirmed by pathologic follow-up, other imaging modalities, and by correlation with clinical follow-up of at least 12 months.
"In our series, the hybrid imaging device provided a significant contribution in up to 73.9 percent of patients whose I-131WBS findings were inconclusive, thus having a substantial impact on the clinical management of DTC patients referred for radioiodine therapy," the authors wrote. "This ability is of particular importance because the therapeutic approaches to different metastatic DTC lesions are completely different."
The researchers noted that newer generation SPECT/CT systems are available with higher slice CT capabilities than are present on the system used for their study. As such, they said that these modalities may be of even greater benefit to patients and clinicians because they can provide a contrast-enhanced high-resolution diagnostic CT scan to evaluate the extent of disease and the relationship of lesions to vascular structures for surgical candidates.
"As SPECT/CT techniques emerge, I-131 SPECT/CT may demonstrate higher value than WBS in the management of DTC," they observed.
