HOW TO: WuNgUn's $0 Getrag shifter slop removal mod! Part I
Some of you may know, I'm doing a clutch/flywheel install to the SVT...
With the tranny out, I decided to figure out how to tighten up my shifter action. With my mileage, there is noticeable side-to-side play at the shift knob...even with my Tri-Ax. (Forward and backward action is reasonably tight, albeit spongy...this will be covered in part II of the HOW TO).
You should be able to do this mod without any problems with the tranny still in the car...but it won't be really easy. You'll need to pull the intake/MAF and likely the battery too. You likely won't need to pull the shifter cables though, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Here is the Getrag shift linkage...
On the linkage actuators on the transmission, there are two distinct actions...in and out (shift knob left/right), and back and forth (shift knob forward/back). To translate the side-to-side shift action into in-and-out, there is a 90 degree pivot.
If you look at the above picture, you'll see a black square Nylon 'slider', that runs back and forth in the groove and is used to push the linkage in and out. Every time you move your shifter side-to-side, this piece wears inside the groove.
If you remove the top two bolts on the linkage boss, you can remove the in-out pivot...
If you take a look at the black nylon slider, you'll likely see wear on the fore/aft sides...
Lets see how far it's worn...
Worn sides...
The untouched sides...
It doesn't seem like a whole lot, but trust me...almost 4/10ths of a millimeter HERE, translates to a whole lot more once this play goes thru the pivot and thru to the top of the shift knob!!
The beauty thing about this black nylon slider, is it's originally designed perfectly square...which means (and here is the best part!), you turn the nylon piece 90 degrees...
...and mount it back in place. Your done!! (Well, bolt it back to the tranny...)
This no-cost mod EASILY took out 80 or 90% of the play that was there...
Not bad for $0, huh??
Upon closer inspection, the pivot pins on the linkage look sleeved...and there IS some play (and corrosion) in the pins...which accounts for the remaining 20 or 10% of play...
In my future HOW TO's on this project, I plan on drilling out the pins, ream the linkage, re-sleeve them with custom bronze bushings (maybe bolt them back together instead of pressing them in?) and eliminate 100% of the play. I might even use bearings at all the critical pivots.
Another issue that must be rectified, is the forward/back linkage at the tranny...it uses a huge rubber grommet, which accounts for the sponginess at the knob (it, however, doesn't have any pivot points/sleeves to wear out...it's attached directly to the mechanism).
The cable end that connects to THIS pivot, on my '02 SVT, uses no rubber grommets, so this mod alone, should fix the 'feel' totally.
I plan on making a bronze bushing/sleeve for this, which should be relatively straight forward...and this mod should make the shift action much, MUCH better!
Whatever mod's I do, I plan on making enough parts to make a bunch of 'kits' for the rest of you to do this as well...
Another cheap and easy upgrade for this would be a rectangular (instead of square) slider bushing, and made from a harder material, like bronze. Or alternatively, machine the slider groove wider, and instead of a bronze or plastic slider, use a small roller bearing instead, to eliminate all play and decrease friction...
I'll keep this thread updated!
P.S. I dunno how the linkage on the MTX is, but I imagine, in principal, they work the same...so this mod might also relate to that transmission.
Hmmm...or maybe I'll just make the parts for myself...?
so whats the point the mod? just asking.
To tighten up the shift lever...take out any play and slop and make it feel like new again.
^^You'll have forgive Chucky. He has an auto lol
I'm curious about this on my MTX. I'll have to check it out when I replace my clutch & flywheel. I also have what you would call slop. It's the slight movement side to side when in gear. It used to be a lot worse till I got the FC race shifter.
Yeah, the short throw shifter will reduce the sloppy feeling too...but it's not a root-cause fix.
If your slop is side-to-side, I'll bet your mechanism is like the Getrags....
^I'm thinking it is also.. Pretty much what you described is the way it feels.
I'm trying to remember...the shifter side of the cables...is there a big rubber grommet on those as well, or just the engine side?
Dang, I wish I would had read this just 3 days ago. I had everything all removed to do my clutch master cylinder, I could have done this real quick. Maybe I'll tackle it tomorrow.
Thanks for the how to!
I was thinking sometimes I go to shift and it's like it hit a wall. This is probably what is binding my shift cables. I think. That's how it feels anyways. It doesn't grind just stops when shifting fast..sometimes. I also have 160k mi on my car but the tranny (used of course), shift cables, and shift tower (broke it of course) are all new-ish (less than a year old). I should probably re adjust my shift cables on the tranny again and while i'm down there I should check out the mod you did and see if it's the same on our (which I think it is) [wiggle].

Well...I lived in the desert about 3 hours north in Kern county and it was no problem.
I've not a clue about San Diego county, but it sure is nice there...
This is a discussion on San Diego? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Well, I am looking at a new job in San Diego this week. At the very least I get three nights in a beach front ...
Well, I am looking at a new job in San Diego this week. At the very least I get three nights in a beach front hotel all expenses paid. I checked packing.org for the legal skinny. Should I actually take the job and move to California, does anyone on here have any real world experience with getting a permit in SoCal?

Well...I lived in the desert about 3 hours north in Kern county and it was no problem.
I've not a clue about San Diego county, but it sure is nice there...
I lived in SD for years, and love it there. I'd live there again, CCW or no.
Based on what I've heard, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting a concealed carry permit in San Diego County.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

If you go to the website:
California CCW
and look under San Diego County, you will see that the population is 2,918,300 and 1703 CCW permits are issued, for an issuance rate of 0.058%.
The county sheriff is Bill Kolender, who has restrictive issuance policies requiring a "statement of cause" for CCW issuance that shows the applicant has a greater than average need for self defense. Successful applicants are usually those who deal with criminals for a living, or those who carry money and valuables in connection with their jobs. The cost of applying for a 2 year permit will be a few hundred dollars, and you won't know if you have the permit until you have spent the money. None of the expenditure is refundable if you are turned down.
Here is another website with information on San Diego CCW application:

California is beautiful, and San Diego is as climately perfect as possible in my book, but the real problem with California is there are people there. Get rid of the people, I would move to California.
One thing I can say for certain, stay away from National City. Little burb just off the naval station, and south of downtown Diego, but two steps away from a ghetto. I lived there in '93-'94. Trust me, when Dominoes won't deliver, there is a problem.
Thanks for the heads-up purple. I think most of my time is going to be up in Encinitas. I will probably do some scouting around for a day, and will steer clear of National.
Tulsa, OK
learn to speak Spanish...REALLY...and good luck getting a CCW permit. If you SHOULD get one...immediately go out and buy a lottery ticket...because you'll be on a winning streak!
Stay safe!

I lived in north San Diego county for 35 years and just left a year ago. Forget about getting a CCW in SD county. It's next to impossible. Kern and Orange counties are fairly easy, but you need to be a resident of those counties.
if you really want the job, and don't mind a long commute, you can look into living in Orange County. the sheriff there is one of the best in the state on CCW issuance. most of the rest of the state is SOL unless you live in a rural county.
South Orange County is very nice. Maybe 30-40 minutes to about Miramar without traffic. I drive that long to work here, and I can virtually see my house from work (if it wasn't for that dang mountain)

Alan Alda, actor and writer, has had a lifelong interest in science. He hosted PBS' Scientific American Frontiers from 1993 to 2005, an experience he has called "one of the best things I ever did in front of a camera." Considering his career – from M*A*S*H and The West Wing on television to an array of notable movie and theater roles – that's quite an endorsement. After interviewing hundreds of scientists, Mr. Alda became convinced that many researchers have wonderful stories to tell, but some need help in telling them. Mr. Alda played an important role in the creation of the Alda Center and has led workshops that use improvisational theater games to help scientists communicate more directly and personally. He was co-chair of the 2009 World Science Festival in New York City, hosted the 2010 documentary mini-series The Human Spark, and has written a play about the life of Marie Curie.

The Stardust Awards 2016 is on the tube right now and something happened that will make us take a gulp. Iulia Vantur and Shah Rukh Khan came together to give away the trophy for the Best Director to Karan Johar. He won it, obviously, for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Iulia's appearance as a presenter on the show is indeed a surprise, and a treat for Salman's fans! The lady also made her onstage singing debut in India with this award show. And she also gave away the coveted Best Director trophy. While some people might find that a little hard to fathom, we are quite happy to see this.The chemistry between Shah Rukh and Iulia was very friendly. It seemed like they knew each other from before. While she sizzled in a red gown, King Khan looked dapper in black. Karan Johar who took the trophy from the lady stated that he was amazed by her Hindi.At the Stardust Awards 2016, Salman Khan decided to make a very silent entry. The paps weren't around him and many didn't even know that he was to drop by. But of course, we're guessing that he made this sudden plan to attend the show, for his rumoured bae, Iulia. It was the first time that she was performing at a Bollywood awards' stage. The Romanian beauty sung his iconic, Main Hoon Hero Tera song in her soothing voice.
What was unexpected was to see her make a return to the podium with an award in her hand that she was supposed to present. That too with none other than Shah Rukh Khan!The 51 year old actor, who himself won an award of Best Actor for Fan, (by presented by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) went up to present the Best Director to his closest bud Karan Johar. KJo won the award for his blockbuster hit, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The film also had Shah Rukh play a cameo but steal everyone's thunder. So without a doubt, him presenting the award was a big thing. What was quite surprising was the fact that Miss Vantur also teamed up with Khan to announce the winner. The picture of the trio on stage speaks volumes of how fabulous they all looked. Iulia serenaded wearing a gorgeous red tube gown. Shah Rukh and Karan were men in black! Having worked on a song (Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai) with Salman Khan and now sharing stage with Shah Rukh Khan, looks like Iulia is going to have a fab run in Bollywood! The pic is simply epic on another level! Don't you think? What are your thoughts on this, BollywoodLifers? Tell us in the comments section below. Stay tuned to this space for all hot scoop from Stardust Awards 2016.

Michelle Cottle is no fan of Republicans and certainly not of Tea Party conservatives. But in a sign that some liberal journalists are worried that Democrats may overreach with their alarmist rhetoric, the Daily Beast staffer called on Democrats to cool it a bit with the hyper-partisan invective during the government shutdown. To Cottle, it's okay to call conservatives hijackers and terrorists and kamikaze pilots, so long as you keep the slurs "generic" and not, for example, compare Republicans to actual real-life villains like Bashar al-Assad and the Ayatollah.
From Cottle's October 1 piece, "Please Don't Compare House Republicans to Iran or Syria, OK?" (emphasis mine):
The House Republicans' rhetorical promotion from garden-variety hostage takers to full-fledged terrorists has rubbed their teammates the wrong way. Via Twitter, Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer demanded an apology for Pfeiffer's "Extreme & over the top" comparison. Radio yakker Hugh Hewitt proclaimed it "disgusting." Brad Dayspring, top talker for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, got into a Twitter war with former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau (who, for his part, backed the terrorist metaphor as "100% accurate"). The sensitive souls at Breitbart.com, meanwhile, have expressed great distress at the Dems' uncivil discourse, as have sympathetic commenters across the blogosphere.
For all the conservative piety and moral outrage, the basic terrorism parallel doesn't seem particularly beyond the pale as political rhetoric goes. Sure, it's hyperbolic and inflammatory, and revels in violent imagery in the way that partisan squabbles almost always do these days. ("Death panels," anyone?) But as my esteemed colleague Michael Tomasky had some fun pointing out Monday, from a purely mechanical perspective the metaphor functions better than the old hostage-taking one.
That said, critics of the House shutdown brigade should take care not to go that one bridge too far. Cautionary case in point: former Bushie Matt Dowd and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm appeared to bipartisanally lose their minds during their Sunday gabfest on This Week. There they were, kicking it with George Stephanopoulos, when Dowd burst out with this observation on the Shutdown Showdown. "After watching your interview with the foreign minister of Iran," he marveled to his host, "it's somewhat amazing and ironic that more reasonableness and enlightenment is coming out of the Middle East than is coming out of Washington, D.C., these days. With everything happening with Syria and the chemical weapons and all that."
WTF? Did this guy just compare the behavior of elected officials in his own party—unfavorably—to two of the world's most despotic regimes?
But wait! Determined not to be outdone by a Republican, Granholm followed up with this: "It is mind-blowing this week that we see leaders of our most, biggest global adversaries, Iran, Syria—to your point—acting more rationally than the House Tea Party Republicans, that they are willing to take whole country, the whole economy down!"
No. No. No. No. No. What are you guys thinking? In the time-honored tradition of political labeling, you can be as nasty as you want so long as you keep the insults respectfully generic. Smear someone as a communist if you must, but don't compare him to Stalin—or even Kim Jong-un. Deride them as a dangerous anti-government lunatic, but don't invoke the name of Timothy McVeigh. Talk all you want about how the NRA's Wayne LaPierre has the blood of innocent children on his hands, but don't suggest he is as bad as Adam Lanza or Dylan Klebold.
Yes, certain segments of the Republican House conference have adopted a hard-line kamikaze (yet another popular, bloody metaphor!) approach to the budget/Obamacare fight. But tossing Iran and Syria into the mix, no matter how flippantly, introduces a mountain of grisly, contentious, still painfully fresh baggage that undermines any point the speaker might hope to make. That level of specificity jacks up the emotional meter too high, even as it throws open the door for critics to subject your words to a level of literal scrutiny never intended, to accuse you of drawing false equivalencies, and generally to dismiss you a clueless, unserious twit.
This ongoing budget train wreck (!) is painful for all sane people to behold. But there is no need to make it even more excruciating by starting a bogus fight over whether John Boehner might sink so low as to use sarin gas on his Democratic colleagues. Keep it vague, people. Don't get too clever with your insults.
And for God's sake, keep Hitler out of it altogether.
I would submit that were the shoe on the other foot, the liberal media would be offended at "kamikaze" and "terrorist" language coming from Republicans and directed at Democrats, reading racism into the invective for good measure. But Cottle is correct that when you start comparing politicians to Hitler or the Taliban or any number of actual heinous actors, dead or alive, the average American will tune you out.
Cottle won't admit this outright, of course, but it's patently obvious what her concern is. It's not with basic decency and civility in political discourse. Cottle is worried that hyperbolic Democrats will screw themselves over by offending the American public and giving Republicans a political victory via unforced errors.
If (when?) Daily Beast folds up and Cottle ends up on the unemployment line, Democrats would do well to consider paying her to be a communications strategist.

After being admitted into a psychiatric hospital following a incident where she started a fire in a neighbor's driveway, sources tell TMZ that Amanda Bynes is doing better on the "cocktail" of medication she's being given.
Doctors report that Bynes has made a dramatic turnaround in the 3 days that she's been in the hospital. She's stopped talking to herself, she's not insulting anyone, she's become polite, and she says "please" and "thank you."
The improvement in Bynes' behavior could do her a favor in the eyes of the court. According to TMZ, the doctors are sure that the judge will rule to keep Amanda in the psych ward until they are certain the meds will work long term and that she will voluntarily take the drugs on her own.
TMZ's sources are shooting down rumors that Bynes' parents are holding off on the conservatorship while she's doing well in the hospital. To the contrary, her parents feel it's necessary for Amanda to have long term care and supervision.

Tent City Residents Forced to Move
Most of the tents are gone, but the remnants are easy to spot.
Gainesville police went to Tent City this morning (June 11) to make sure people were leaving. They found that most of the residents were gone.
Because of a recent rise in violence in Tent City, the landowner asked Gainesville police to enforce trespassing laws. That didn't sit well with many. Some protested, and others packed what they could.
There weren't many officers patrolling the area, and they gave people time to pack their belongings even after the 9 a.m. deadline.
Officials say they're not worried about making arrests. They're worried about safety.
Many of the residents of Tent City moved farther back into the woods of South Gainesville. Others have scattered to different parts of town.

"Run by the fabulous Karen Lowe-Connelley of Rochester, MN. Food was absolutely AMAZING. The wedding was outside in early October so it was a little chilly, but somehow she kept the buffet food HOT. Very professional, on-time, and creative."

Rebecca (Salon Nouvo)Minneapolis, MN, USA
"Unfortunately I'm blanking out on her last name, but Rebecca from Salon Nouvo in Rochester, MN did a fantastic job. She came on-site to our hotel in Albert Lea at a ridiculously early hour and did hair and makeup of 4 bridesmaids, me (the bride), and my mom. We all looked beautiful! She was VERY affordable, professional, flexible, and talented. A+++"
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
Mestad's1171 6th Street Northwest
Rochester, MN, United States
"I was hesitant about coming here as I did NOT want to get a "typical" wedding dress, plus I had heard some bad things about their customer service. At first I was shocked by the prices of the dresses -- VERY high and WAY out of my budget. But Allison could not have been nicer or more helpful. She started pulling dresses for me in my sizes and my budget, and somehow picked out the PERFECT dress for me. Also, because it fit perfectly, I got to buy it off the rack with a 10% discount! Allison definitely made the experience worthwhile - not sure I would have had as much luck with another salesperson."
Ceremony & Reception Venue:
Harmony ParkMinneapolis, MN, USA
"Not your typical wedding venue, but when we first visited, we fell in love. It's an outdoor music festival venue and campground just outside of Albert Lea. For a reasonable price we got the ENTIRE park to ourselves for the whole weekend. Well worth it! (The only downside? Having to rent everything from the chairs to the tables to the tent.. since none of that is provided). Jay (the owner) is fabulous, laidback and very helpful. We are still hearing rave reviews about how awesome our wedding venue was. We call it our mini-Woodstock. :) Oh and camping was FREE for everyone!"

Cascadian Pattern Collapse (Production Shack)
Two-week production and installation space, workshops, and photoshoots. Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Craft, Portland, OR, in conjunction with the exhibition "Fashioning Cascadia."
Artist talk: "Patterned Migrations: on frictional objects, crossed signals, and bastard images." June 12, 2014 (60 minutes)
Conflating ideas of dazzle camouflage, fashion, ethnic fictions, capitalism and empire, this project was a live production space located within a museum in full view of the public. Industrial textile cast-offs were sourced from Pendleton -- an American woolen manufacturing company based in Oregon known for iconic "American" plaid designs and "Native American-inspired" patterns -- and used to prototype fictional garments and accessories to be activated in public workshops and photoshoots.
Over the period of two weeks, this "craft production spectacle" played on notions of performative labor and cultural conflations/confusion. The final two days of the residency were spent working with eight participants to sew and design unique props and garments that would be styled in fictional narratives dealing with capitalism and empire. The resulting photoshoots document a playful yet critical view of globalization, labor, and industrial manufacturing processes.

Today's Daily Digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a scale of 1 to 10.
Express Forecast
Today: Sunny, windy, cold. Highs: 33-39.
Tonight: Mostly clear, breezy. Lows: 17-25.
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny. Highs: 54-58.
Temperature Map
Ouch. After springlike warmth the last few days, the wind-swept morning chill may sting more than usual. In place of yesterday's 60s to near 70, we have 20s and 30s with nasty wind chills in the single digits and teens. The only solace is some solid sunshine. Otherwise, we slide into another hard freeze tonight before temperatures rebound closer to normal tomorrow afternoon. The weekend starts a bit warmer than normal, but then trends cooler Sunday followed by a risk of mixed precipitation Sunday night into Monday.
Today (Thursday): Brace yourselves for a punishing springtime rebuke with morning temperatures in the 20s that move ever-so-slowly into the 30s by midday and afternoon. Winds from the northwest at 20-30 mph occasionally gust as high as 40 with early morning wind chills in the single digits and midday to afternoon chills in the teens and 20s. Sunny skies help at least, but not enough to offset the high winds and cold temperatures. Confidence: High
Tonight: Temperatures fall quickly back into the 20s in the evening with winds still running 15-25 mph before fading toward midnight. Lows toward dawn range from the upper teens in the outer suburbs to the low-to-mid 20s in the city as skies are mostly clear. Confidence: High
For related traffic news, check out Dr. Gridlock. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend…
Tomorrow (Friday): Mostly sunny skies with temperatures warming more quickly through the day to peak in the middle 50s range by afternoon. Winds shift to come from the south and west at 5 to 10 mph to aid in the moderating trend. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Partly cloudy with lows in the middle to upper 30s. Light winds. Confidence: High
Snow Potential Index
A daily assessment of the potential for at least ~1″ of snow in the next week, on a 0-10 scale. More info
Saturday starts in the 30s to low 40s during the Rock 'n' Roll DC marathon and half-marathon along with a slight risk of light showers under partly cloudy skies, but the afternoon should be up into the lower to middle 60s now with partly sunny skies. Partly cloudy with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s Saturday night. Confidence: Medium
Sunday finds the story getting more complicated as different air masses converge on the area. Cold weather from the north slides down into the region, while clouds approach from the south. Highs only manage in the 40s (below normal at this point in mid-March) with a risk of showers by afternoon. Sunday night could see more mostly light rain and snow mix with a risk of changing over to all snow at some point between midnight and dawn. Some accumulation is also possible by dawn especially in our colder areas to the west and north, so stay tuned for updates! Confidence: Low
Monday may see linger light mixed precipitation or snow into about the midday hours before some clearing by afternoon. But temperatures look to remain well below normal by only reach the upper 30s to low 40s by afternoon. Confidence: Low

Concurrent Billing of Manual Therapy and Chiropractic Manipulative Therapy
By Samuel A. Collins
Q: I am billing for manual therapy, 97140, in the lumbar spine region, while on the same visit doing chiropractic manipulation, 98940, to the cervical spine. I believe this care is payable for both codes, but I have heard I need to use diagnosis pointing.How do I do that?
A: You are correct that when 97140, manual therapy, is performed on the same visit as chiropractic manipulative therapy, 98940-98943, the two services must be performed to separate body regions to allow for dual reimbursement. To indicate that each service was performed in a different region, the claim form must denote the different regions through "diagnosis pointing."
It would be helpful while reading this article to have a 1500 form (formerly CMS1500 and HCFA1500) available for reference if you are not familiar with the specific blocks and lines of the form. In block 21 of the standard paper 1500 form, there are four spaces for diagnosis codes, while on electronic claims, there are eight spaces. These spaces are numbered 1-4 and 1-8, respectively, and are used to specifically designate the diagnosis that is being treated, as indicated on the billing lines of section 24 of the 1500 form. Specifically, these reference numbers are used in block 24E, in the section titled "diagnosis pointer." This pointer reference is to indicate the specific diagnosis from block 21 and indicates which diagnosis or diagnoses were treated on that specific line of service.
For example, and per your question, let's assume the following:
In doing the billing in this manner, it is clearly reported on the billing that the services meet the guidelines for reimbursement of 97140 and 98940 performed on the same visit, in that they were performed on different regions. Be certain the treatment plan and chart notes bear out the specific performance of the use of each service and that they were not done to both regions.
As a billing rule, when doing 97140 with 98940 on the same visit, the manual therapy code 97140 must be appended with modifier -59 to differentiate a distinctly separate service.
Note: The use of this modifier, -59, alone would not constitute enough information to have it reimbursed separate from chiropractic spinal manipulation. Under CMS guidelines, in order to have 97140 separately reimbursed from chiropractic spinal manipulation, the services must be done on a separate visit or different body region of the manipulation; hence the need for diagnosis pointing when done on the same visit, but to different regions.

We're off to a great start to Wingman Weekend. Cheryl and Mike started flying with us last weekend and had their first mountain flights this morning! I also included some folks from earlier in the month. Father and son, Dan and Luke, made hang gliding a family outing…they had their first flights earlier in September. Then there's Mike. Mike's dad Brian and his sister Megan learned to fly with us as well. Then it was Mike's turn to fly from the mountain.
And for all of you waiting to touch the sky, there is still some availability this weekend to fly tandem with an instructor. Give us a call to set up your reservations. 706-398-3541.

Featured Article - October 2009
Short description: Unlike most membrane proteins, SNAREs enter the endoplasmic reticulum after translation. The structure of the ATPase needed for entry reveals the likely mechanism.
In eukaryotic cells, membrane proteins are sent to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) during or shortly after synthesis. Most membrane proteins possess a signal recognition peptide that ensures that the new protein is co-translationally targeted to the ER. However, a small but very important group that includes the SNARE proteins needed for vesicle trafficking and the Bcl2 family members needed for apoptosis use a post-translational pathway.
This group, called the tail-anchored proteins, has a single C-terminal transmembrane domain (TMD) that holds the targeting information. In yeast, this domain interacts with a highly conserved ATPase called Get3 (Asna1 or TRC40 in mammals) to form a complex that is then targeted to the ER. Mateja et al. have now solved the X-ray crystal structure of Get3 in both nucleotide-free and nucleotide-bound conformations, revealing the likely mechanism for Get3 binding.
Both structures are symmetrical homodimers comprising ATPase and α-helical subdomains. In the nucleotide-free or 'open' state the α-helical subdomains have a space between them of at least 20 Å. The charged surface of this gap suggests that it may have a function other than binding substrates' TMDs. The nucleotide-bound state, however, undergoes a conformational change that brings the α-helical domains together, creating a solvent-exposed hydrophobic groove that spans both monomers.
Extensive mutagenesis of the residues within this groove showed that these hydrophobic amino acids are needed for substrate binding. In addition, the structure indicated that the nucleotide-binding sites are located near the ATPase switch II region, linking nucleotide binding to formation of the TMD-binding site.

Rafael Marquez returns to train with Nacho Beristain
By Gabriel F. Cordero
Mexican two-division former world champion Rafael Marquez has decided to return to his former trainer, Hall of Famer Nacho Beristain, after five fights between 2010 and 2102 with trainer Daniel Zaragoza, was losing three fights and sustaining various injuries during that period as he faced strong opponents as Juan Manuel Lopez, Toshiaki Nishioka and Cristian Mijares.
Marquez signed a four-fight promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions and must return to the ring on September 6 against to Efrain Esquivias (16-2-1,9 KOs) at Fantasy Springs Casino, Indio, California.
Marquez decided to return the Romanza Gym looking for a new opportunity to return to the limelight at age 38. "It was a difficult decision to have gone to train with Daniel Zaragoza, I am a professional and I must admit my mistake. Beristain knows me, knows my weaknesses and strengths and I hope to return to get a world title shot. I owe it to myself and I hope to give my best in this new stage."

Time Magazine called him a "Christ-like figure." Others have a different view.
Tony Chao hobbled to it on crutches. He'd taken seventeen bullets from the Castroites' Czech machine guns during the firefight preceding his capture. On the way to the execution stake, Tony was forced to hobble down some cobblestone stairs. Another Cuban laborer imprisoned by Che watched the process from his prison cell. "I'll never understand how Tony survived that beating . . . One of Tony's bullet-riddled legs had been amputated at the hospital; the other was gangrened and covered in pus."
Compare Tony's death to Guevara's capture: "Don't shoot!" whimpered the arch-assassin to his captors. "I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!"

Tomlinson defeats Klassen
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing
Photos: Werner Kalin
IBO 130 pound champion Will Tomlinson (21-0-1, 12 KOs) outscored former IBF world champion Malcolm Klassen (27-6-2, 14 KOs) over twelve roundsat the Melbourne Pavillion, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Thursday.
Tomlinson was aggressive in all the rounds and dropped Klassen in round one but the South African displayed excellent boxing in rounds five, six and seven connecting with solid head and body shots. In round eight doctor Peter Lewis inspected cuts suffered by the Australian but ruled okay to continue.
Tomlinson stepped up a gear in rounds eleven and twelve and referee Pete Podgorski crowned the Aussie the winner by scores Robert Hoyle 118-109, Garry Dean 118-109, Steve Scott 117-110.
Tomlinson is trained by Lincoln Hudson and managed by Gary Shaw and Fidel Tukel.
WBA#15 Garth Wood (12-3-1, 7 KOs) was impressive in scoring a second round stoppage over Australian based South African Virgil Kalakoda( 24-9-3, 16 KOs) to capture the WBA Pan African middleweight title. Kalakoda visited the canvas and was in trouble in round two when referee Ignatius Missailidis saved him from further punishment at 1.07.
Classy Australian 130 pounder Matt Garlett (11-1, 6 KOs) scored the best win of his career when he was awarded a twelve round decision over South African Sipho Taliwe (20-3-1, 14 KOs) to capture the WBC International title. The fight was evenly contested throughout but the Australian had the better work rate.

For obvious reasons, it is preferable to have a competent attorney represent you in court. But some persons reach the point that they cannot afford an attorney, so they represent themselves in court on a "pro se" basis. "Pro se" means "on behalf of yourself."
These are the actions you need to take:
Learn How the System Works:
- Understand the difference between civil and criminal law. Most restraining orders are issued in civil court, so the due process protections found under criminal law do not apply.
- Pay a visit to the judge's courtroom and observe how cases similar to yours are handled. Listen carefully to the statements of the plaintiff and defense attorneys.
- Study the wording of the laws that are referred to in the restraining order.
- Get a copy of the judge's Benchbook, which summarizes the pertinent law and procedure.
- Learn the "culture" of the courtroom – how persons are expected to dress and speak to each other.
Prepare Yourself for the Hearing:
- If you can afford it, find an attorney who can give you advice about legal strategy and procedures, even though the attorney does not come to court with you.
- Organize, organize, organize!
- Request pertinent documents from your accuser's attorney (called "discovery")
- Read everything carefully, including the petition, police reports, and all other documents in the file. Make notes.
- Make an outline of the allegations. Pinpoint all errors, omissions of fact, and false statements.
- Do not allow law enforcement personnel into your home unless they have a search warrant.
Represent Yourself in the Courtroom:
- Hire a court reporter if the proceedings are not recorded by the court.
- Bring witnesses with you, even if they are only observers, to give you feedback afterwards.
- Don't be forced to admit to an action. You have the right to remain silent.
- Learn motion objections. Make an objection if the judge does not follow proper procedures, e.g., allows hearsay evidence.
- Make sure the judge makes the justification for the findings explicit, both orally and in writing.
- Realize the basis of an appeal is if the judge has not followed correct procedures, not that you don't agree with the judge's finding.
For some persons, a pro se defense is their only viable course of action. Even if you decide to defend yourself, you can later find an attorney to represent you if necessary.

What sort of holster are you looking for? I have a $12 Uncle Mikes for 1911s that holds mine fine for monkeying about at the range.
For a more serious applications I'm not going to be much help. I don't know why some of the Fobus/Galco offerings wouldn't work. The differences between the different models are almost a non issue as far as a holster is concerned.

Although your taking great detail to brush in your blinds, do they have high profiles? If so, you may want to consider digging htem in to lower profiles. Are theyre any shadows around your blinds? If so, pile stubble around your blinds and taper it off to eliminate the shadows. Also, i wouldnt try and put too many in the field. Id put your blinds close together so when you open the doors they just barely clear and then fill in between then to get rid of any shadows. Also, if you can hunt the edge of the field, you may want to give that a try. Decoys....Are your decoys shining? If theyre wet and shining, then that could very well be why theyre not finishing to you.
Some other things you can try...Go BIG with your spread, or go small as suggested above. Also, dont set in the decoys. If the birds are short stopping you, try setting down wind of your decoys. Other options include sitting 90* to the wind. That way the birds arent coming strait in on you, but rather from side to side offering a crossing shot. That way when they come in theyre not looking strait in on your blinds.
Good luck, hope you hammer em.

The Chicago Bears will try to improve their 2013 record to 2-0, while the Minnesota Vikings will look to avoid an 0-2 start, when the teams meet for an NFC North clash on Sunday at Soldier Field.
Last week, the Bears were the only team in the NFL to not have a player listed on the injury report. And barring a change to the team's health on Thursday and Friday, it doesn't appear that there will be any players listed worse than "Probable" on the Bears' official injury report that will be released Friday afternoon.
Bears cornerback Charles Tillman was limited in practice with a sore knee on Wednesday, but the team's head coach, Marc Trestman, says that he expects the star cornerback to be able to go on Sunday:
LM: Trestman says he expects Charles Tillman to play Sunday; Tillman was limited in practice with sore knee.Peanut had a wild afternoon in the Bears' 24-21 victory over the Bengals in week one. He had two diving interceptions, but also gave up some big plays (as well as getting flagged for pass interference in the end zone) to Bengals star receiver AJ Green, who finished with nine receptions for 162 yards and two touchdowns. Oh, and Peanut also left the first half of that game with dehydration (after making those two interceptions), and was seen vomiting on the sidelines twice, before returning to action in the second half. Hopefully his knee heals up and he'll be able to get through the Vikings game without any health issues.
— Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) September 11, 2013
No other Bears player was listed with an injury on the team's Wednesday report.
For the Vikings, offensive tackle Phil Loadholt (knee), cornerback Josh Robinson (quad), center John Sullivan (knee), and defensive tackle Kevin Williams (knee) were all limited participants in Minnesota's Wednesday practice.
Williams, a starter at defensive tackle for the Vikings since 2003, missed the Vikings' week one loss to the Lions with a knee injury, but is expected to be able to play on Sunday vs the Bears. The 33-year-old has long been one of the best run-stuffers in the NFL and was graded as one of Pro Football Focus' top-10 defensive tackles in 2012, so his return would be a big boost for Minnesota's defensive line.
Here's what Williams had to say on Wednesday about how his status for week two is looking:
"Uh, talk to me tomorrow, hopefully won't be too sore tomorrow because I hadn't done anything in a couple of weeks and we'll go from there," Williams said when asked if he has any question about being ready for Sunday. "That's pretty much the key. We did a little bit of work today, got the chance to move around. If no residual going on tomorrow, that's always positive and we work on Friday then."Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier added this on Williams:
"Kevin is so important to us that his absence, it makes a difference," coach Leslie Frazier said Wednesday. "He's one of the best to ever play the game at his position. So, anytime you don't have him, not only from a performance standpoint but a leadership standpoint as well, it's going to affect your team. They did run the ball effectively against us. Having Kevin, I think it would have helped us, for sure. Glad to have him back. Hopefully everything will go fine this week and we'll have him on Sunday as well."The Vikings also listed linebacker Larry Dean (shoulder), linebacker Erin Henderson (heel), safety Mistral Raymond (shoulder), and safety Jamarca Sanford (shoulder) as full participants in practice.

I just read your comment in 'paranoid' where you said you had another stroy in this section and I started looking for it straight away!! I read all of it just now and it was ammmmmmaaaaaaaziiiiiiinggg.
You said in your first post that english wasn't your first language, but reading this (and paranoid) I seriously couldn't tell.
It was soooooo hilarious and sweet and wonderful and I couldn't stop reading it. Aidan & sunhine 4 eva
Also, I loved the email from sun's dad in the end that cracked me up
Hehe, I have the opposite of you, 2 sisters and 1 brother. (Unfortunately he's a lot younger than me though and I've always wanted an older brother and now I just want one even more )
to stick up for me and stuff (funny how they were always getting into fights, I think my little brother will be like that when he's older- he has karate classes now)
I'm making this comment extra long because I never read this story whilst you were posting it anyway this is probably the longest comment I have written with hardly any emoticons!!!
I love your storiiiess so much, but I've ran out of them now (unless you have any more hidden somewhere?) please, please post a new chapter soon
Think about me? What am I going to read if you dont?
Okay I'll let you go now- but only if you promise to start (and post) a new story, oh and I know you have exams (how much do you have left by the way?) so take your time
Bye bye thread!
(Oh my god, that sounded like the end of teletubbies in my head, I haven't thought of them in ages :/)
Posted 11 June 2010 - 06:59 AM
I didn't really expect you to go and read that! I did mentioned that it wasn't a good story!
Well, I'm sure there are many grammatical mistakes in it. But, THANKS!! My first language is creole. Though I consider this language very odious, so, I talk french based creole.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!! It was the first story I've ever written. I had posted it's sequel too, which more focus on Ryan and Jessica, but then deleted it.
No, no more stories.... After my exam, maybe...
I PROMISE I'll post a new one....just not now!
Kisses to Maria!!
Flying Colorful Thanks!!!
Posted 12 June 2010 - 09:18 AM
Hehe, I told you I wanted to. It was a wonderful sweeet story!! =D
I don't think I've ever come across a story without grammatical errors. Even the best writers make them! (They just have editors to spot and change them ) but that doesn't make your story any less better (does that make sense?)
I wish I could talk another language, I only speak english. My sister used to learn German and then teach me it to help her revise and I actually used to be able to make a few little sentences in German but that was ages ago and I've forgotten it all now.
Oh WOW I would have loved to read that. I wish it hadn't been deleted.
And I don't mind however long you take to post another story as long as you promise you will
Anyway best of luck in your exams!!!!
Kisses and flying thanks back to you...

wow where did you learn them? from school or home?
haha Baka, I like that word now for some reason.
Lol I'd say it to my sisters and brother too but they'd be like 'uh wth?'
They can be very narrow minded somtimes... most of the time
Ooh Yay thanks for promising and sure, sure take your time.
I'm soo excited for it! When do your exams end?
Good luck for them, not sure if I said that before =D
Posted 14 June 2010 - 06:15 AM
I learned french and English at school. I also learned Urdu as oriental language in school (for a short period) and since urdu and Hindi are very much the same (not in writing though, just verbal), I kinda understand hindi. And for Japanese, well, i LOVE JAPANESE MANGA, and I watch them with french subtitles...and I do learn a few things...like Baka....
Gotta rush and revise!!
My brother is in hospital though. Going to meet him for lunch. Poor him. He has needle in his wrist, and he was trying to scare me, telling me how much it hurts, and all...i did got scared............

DMC Promises 'Origins' Will Be 'Happier' Than Last Album
Run-DMC's Darryl "DMC" McDaniels will release his second solo album 'Origins of Block Music' this summer, but the veteran emcee says that it will be a much lighter body of work, compared to his previous release. "It's going to be educational, motivational, inspirational, and fun," he told The BoomBox.
McDaniels explained that his 2006 release 'Checks, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll' was produced at the peak at of his darkest personal turmoil, making it difficult to pour anything but heavy emotions into the album. "When I look back, I did the first solo album after Jay got murdered, I was an alcoholic, I had to go to rehab — I've been sober five years now — my father died and then I found out that I was adopted," he said.
"My first album was basically me expressing where I was then. And somebody asked me, 'D, on your first solo album, what would you differently?' And I thought about it, and I said, 'I would've made some happier records.'"The New York City native admitted that at the time, music was one of the only outlets for expressing his emotions. "At the time, I didn't know that therapy was cool, like a lot of other men. Guys: Therapy is gangsta!" he emphasizes. "But at the time, I didn't really have an outlet for feelings. I only had my closest friends, like five people I could sit there and vent to." After surviving his own depression, DMC stresses that it's important for people to find the proper outlets to unload their feelings. "If you can't let out what's in you, it's the very thing that destroys you," he said. "I was suicidal with that first album, thinking 'I want to kill myself. I don't know if I want to be DMC. Jay is dead. Nobody likes me.'
"The reason why music is more powerful than politics and religion combined is because it's emotional. It separates you from race, creed, color and religion, because it's what you feel. I don't care if you can't speak my language – we feel pain, we feel hurt, we feel all of that."
'Origins of Block Music' is slated for a summer release. The album's first single is 'I Got More Songs Than You Do.'

Boys' Toddler Puma Suede Comic Casual Shoes
Bright and fun, just like your little one, the Puma Toddler Suede Comic Casual Shoes are perfect for active tykes just learning to walk. On the playground or in the backyard, these sneaks keep little feet well protected while showing off flashy good looks.
They'll be ready to run, jump and play in these durable Puma sneakers. A smooth suede upper keeps little feet comfortable, while the bold comic graphic printing adds a little ka-pow to your toddler's step. And you'll love the stay-put closure adjustable strap closure, which makes putting on and taking off these little cuties a cinch. No more drama when it's time to head out!
All of this sits atop a rubber outsole, giving toddlers the traction they need as they venture out into the world.
- UPPER: Printed suede
- OUTSOLE: Rubber

Oh for sure, I would say it's time to create some boundaries and privacy for yourself, but it sounds like you will want to specifically tell her this is what you're doing, or she may get upset if you just stop telling her things and she "finds out" you had sex and didn't mention in, etc. It sounds like you're comfortable sitting down and doing that though, so that's great.
Probably not going to be a fun conversation. I wont assume either way that you mind or don't mind sharing everything with her (though I will hope it wasn't also a request from your bf also - ie "if you date me you have to share 100% details with my other partner") By the time you feel involved enough with somebody to call them your SO instead of your BF, it would be nice if she was used to your presence and expected that you WERE having sex, and that there's no reason to mention where you went to dinner unless it's a cool new place you think she'd like or you got food poisoning. Phew sometimes I wonder if people who request this sort of information expect to still be told each time sex happens 5-10 years down the road.
Then again, maybe she is very ready to stop sharing so much, but either forgot she asked you to share everything, or doesn't have the tools to figure out how to ask you to stop without appearing rude (I'm an eternal optimist, what can I say)
Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.
