BRAKE ISSUE, please help!
So I brought the Jeep in to a mechanic today to check the brakes, needed new rotors and pads in the front. The problem, however, is that whoever owned it before me put in an aftermarket proportionality valve for rock crawling? I put a question mark there because they can't get the new rotors and pads on I guess because something with this locks them in place, I think that's how it worked, and I know nothing about this re-routing of brake lines and alternate setup as of now. Anyway, the mechanic's a buddy of mine and he wrote up a description of the problem for me so I could ask you guys on here (we both figured you guys and girls would know a little bit more on the subject than we would). So here's what he wrote:
"Front calipers are holding pressure. The vehicle drives and brakes fine (seems to) so the calipers themselves are o.k.. Aftermarket proportionality valve was installed to control only the rear brakes after the factory combination valve. Upon replacing pads and rotors, calipers held pressure. I'm wondering why??"
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, thanks in advance!
hmmm... proportion valve plumbed in AFTER the factory valve. Cant imagine how that would help. Crack a line at the MC...retract the calipers and go. See if the brakes lock in the front when you go back together.
they did say something about doing a test with a crack in the line. They suggested just re-routing the lines back to the factory proportion valve and getting rid of the aftermarket one altogether. Either that or replacing the aftermarket one, but they don't know if its faulty, let alone how it works in this system. I wish I had the original work orders of the stuff done to the Jeep--I bought it from a dealership and the previous owner put a lot of aftermarket stuff into it. Thanks for the reply though, I'll tell them what you said tomorrow when I bring it back.
For the time spent troubleshooting, it might be worth just re-routing a couple new lines instead. Then, pull the parts off and sell 'em on eBay ;)
Thanks for the input guys. They did the test with the crack in the line and it ended up being the brake booster...which I'll admit I've never heard of. As for the aftermarket proportion valve, I guess that stays for now, but I don't know what good it's doing by the sound of it...
Actually what's called a "proportioning valve" isn't what it implies.
It's more aptly called a "hold-off valve." Some carmakers call it by the right name.
The purpose - when you first apply the brakes the valve prevents the first 2 or 3 pounds of pressure from reaching the disc pistons, but the rear cylinders get the pressure.
Before any pressure is applied, the disc pads are already in position, but the rear shoes are pulled back away from the drums. That first 2 or 3 pounds of pressure moves the shoes into place so both front and rear will start braking at the same time. Without it, the front applies first, causing nose dive and unsafe braking.
Using 2 valves in series could create just the opposite effect, the rears would brake before the fronts, sending you spinning in slippery conditions.
The so called prop valves are merely a spring loaded pop-off valve - on some that spring pressure is adjustable.
You cannot reduce static hydraulic pressure with a valve or orifice.
The mechanics left the aftermarket hold-off valve on. I asked if this would cause any harm by leaving it connected, and they assured me it would not. Any thoughts?
Blue - have another look at my post #6.
If the if both valves hold off the pressure for 5 lbs each, then in series like that it would take 10 lbs of pressure before the front discs worked.
I don't know if that would be noticeable or not. It may tend to cause the rear to work first before the fronts in a weird squirrely fashion on slippery surfaces, like ice. You may find even a slight touch to the brake pedal causes you to spin. Dunno, try it!
If it's still there and you've finished paying the mechanic, see how you like the way it stops.
Try this - run about 30 MPH on a flat gravel or dusty/slippery surface. Turn like you are going around a bend - not mild, not sharp. Apply the brakes while still turning. If the rear locks up too soon I'd remove it. If it stops to your satisfaction let it be.
"""""what is this hold-off valve anyway? """""
Jason - reread post #6 too - it explains it.
"""""is that you can press a button and holds the brakes or what? """""
They do make such a thing, but it's not called a hold-off or proportioning valve. I think it's called a Hydro-Loc. You press the brake pedal, then activate the Hydro-Loc. It keeps the pressure in the brake lines until you depress the pedal again.
It's like a parking brake except it locks all 4 wheels instead of just 2. Handy on steep loose hills. Not legal to use as a parking brake for the street.
I have one on one of my rigs, I've never used it.

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has apologised for a foul-mouthed rant at Manchester City counterpart Manuel Pellegrini.
The 52-year-old aimed an expletive-laden volley at the Chilean during the first half of his side's controversial 2-0 Barclays Premier League defeat by the new leaders on Sunday afternoon.
A contrite Pardew later said: "I hear that it's been picked up a little bit, and I apologise for my comments 100 per cent.
"It was a heat of the moment thing. We just had words that we always have as managers, to a degree. I have apologised to him and fortunately for myself, he has accepted that."
Pardew's comments included a particularly offensive four-letter word, and he later admitted Pellegrini's involvement in the spat did not merit that.
He said: "No, I don't think it merited that word, if I am honest. As I said, I have apologised for that particular word, but we sort of tease each other a little bit and have words."

Ackerman Jewelers
Ackerman Jewelers
5335 Ehrlich Rd.
Tampa, FL, 33625
(813) 961-7321
Founded in 1984 by Ron and Tina Ackerman, Ackerman Jewelers has grown into one of Tampa, Florida's premiere locations for bridal jewelry. Always keeping the focus on the customer's complete satisfaction, Ron and Tina and their staff, including master jewelers and experienced diamond consultants have spent their 30+ years building the trust of the community around them.
Many couples visiting the store each week find plenty to choose from, according to diamond consultant Linda Braun. "About 10 percent of our customers inquire about Verragio," Braun said. "They are very innovative designs with lots of fashion-forward styles. Clients like that the rings are different, and can be customized. It means they can showcase their own individuality."
Ackerman's commitment to customer service and superior quality has made them an ideal partner for Verragio, in addition to their desire to offer something a little more unique than you might see if you visit a larger chain store.
"The Insignia Collection is very popular," Braun said when asked what sets Verragio apart. "The gallery work, the intimate details on the rings, and the brilliance of the rings overall is what draws people to them."
Ackerman Jewelers is happy to have diversified their selection by offering Verragio, a decision they made more than a decade ago.
"Because we are a destination store I think it is great that we have such a wide selection of bridal choices," Braun said, "including one of the largest Verragio collections in Florida."

Sen. Max Baucus bent over backward to please Republicans with his insurance-friendly vision of health care reform, which forces everyone to buy private insurance and has no public option, but the very Republicans he negotiated with now won't have anything to do with the bill.
They're not alone. The Atlantic runs through a list of the major players and finds that "the Gang of Six appears to have dwindled to a Wolfpack of One."
Baucus' bill is more of a negotiating position than the final word. Whatever legislation emerges will be an amalgam of the various proposals in the House and Senate. We can only hope that it is not a Frankenstein monster of compromise—a Baucus bill on a grander scale. —PS
Links: The New York Times breaks down the Baucus bill / The Atlantic sums up the discontent / Read the Chairman's Mark
Sen. Max Baucus' (left) eagerness to please his Republican colleagues bogged down health care reform in the Senate for months. Republicans involved in negotiations, including Chuck Grassley (right), still won't support the bill.

Judge Mablean Says Fans Want her Back on 'Divorce Court'
Judge Mablean Says Fans Want her Back on 'Divorce Court'
Since the Judge Mablean Ephriam left the 'Divorce Court' FOX television show, many people have missed her and wanted her to return. Judge Ephriam explains what happened before she left the show:
"The truth is that Fox and I were unable to reach an agreement, after several months of negotiations. I was willing to stay. Fox was unwilling to pay," she told reporters at the time.
Ephriam, 62, explained that Fox offered her "substantially less than all of the other court show judges," and although she lowered her offer in an effort to reach a settlement, Fox remained firm in its low-ball, take-or-leave it offer, "which contained a very small increase from its initial position, coupled with some other unreasonable demands" – among them, a provision that she not change her hairstyle, "to avoid time consuming issues," the network stated in the proposed contract, from an interview with Eurweb.
She was offended and left the show as a result.
Judge Mablean Ephriam states now, she is "ready, willing and able" to negotiate with Fox to replace her replacement, Judge Lynn Toler.
"People are calling me and sending me emails asking how can they get me back on 'Divorce Court' and get rid of the other lady," she said. "And I say I don't know, but you should start a campaign and see what happens. The ratings are down right now, and I'm ready to come back if Fox is ready to have me back."
After the show ended for her, she had to take care of her mother who passed away last year.
"I think things happen for a reason, and right in February of 06 when I went off the show, she went completely down," Ephriam said. "I had to be there to take care of her and I'm thankful for that opportunity to have been able to take care of her. But I'm ready now."
"I have no obligations, all my children are adults, the grandchildren are in school or about to graduate from school, I'm a single woman – so I have nothing holding me back. I'm ready to roll."
She says all she needs now is the petition.
It would be nice to see her back on the show. Not everyone has really took a liking to Judge Toler who appears to be star struck and arrogant.

General caller instrumentation as we do now definitely seems like worse idea all the time. I don't have a live tree with this, but at one point I did have a tree where SB-C::%LAMBDA was the "basic" lambda, and at the point where CL:LAMBDA got turned into it it was rather easy to instrument it. All the compiler-introduced lambdas were SB-C::%LAMBDAs from the get-go, so only user (and macroexpanded) code got instrumentation. The big gain, however, was _callee_ instrumentation: O(function-points), not O(parse-tree-size) in space. If I recall correctly the reason I abandoned the tree was some collateral damange to the compiler, which was, I hope, more due to being rather hasty in implementing this, rather then some fundamental flaw. Resurrecting this (and getting it right) would be slightly more time-consuming then I can do right now, though. Cheers, -- Nikodemus Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious."

- Life's a Salad Bar, Fighting the Good Fight: If breastfeeding weren't taboo enough, try breastfeeding a toddler. Anna establishes that society puts all sorts of constraints and ideals on how we raise our children, especially on how long we nurse. Her thought places this decision squarely between mother and child, even if it means following your beliefs quietly.
So how do we fight the good fight? How do we deal with all of the pressure to wean, the disgust by some who want to compare long term nursing to child abuse or scold us for "spoiling" our children? Quite simply? We just do. As moms we are going to be put in tough places, we're going to be faced with opinions on everything from what we let our children eat to what time we let them stay up until to what we let them watch on TV.Read more from Life's a Salad Bar.
- Hobo Mama, Breastfeeding Education: In our modern world, the most common forms of breastfeeding education come from books, videos, midwives, and even plastic dolls. Lauren illustrates one unfortunate way that "taboos" are also reinforced - by not taking simple opportunities to educate people. We easily fear/condemn that which we do not understand. For her, the simple act of nursing in public is one lesson she passes on.
I think that back when breastfeeding was the only way to feed babies that little kids and then parents must have learned to breastfeed the way people learn to wash themselves or eat solid food or put on clothes -- there is no overt education. The events just happen, so often and so naturally, that no one can help but see, and eventually do. It would have been natural and seamless and not a big deal in the least.Read more from Hobo Mama.
- Code Name: Mama, Mama Milk Dance!: Dionna discusses both why toddler nursing is normal, as well as some of the health benefits of breastfeeding toddlers.
The argument that breastfeeding should be discontinued after it is "more comfort than nutrition" is similarly misguided. Aside from the established health benefits of nursing a toddler, it makes no sense to take away a food source just because it does not meet every nutritional need.Read more from Code Name: Mama.

Tough news coming from Yahoo!Sports a few hours ago, as Red Sox outfielder Ryan Kalish will undergo shoulder surgery. According to the source, Kalish is expected to miss Spring Training and a possible return-time has yet to be announced. Kalish missed much of last season recovering from a surgery that repaired a torn labrum in his left shoulder last winter. What's odd is that Kalish is going to have surgery on his right shoulder this time. Not much about the current injury is known right now, except that the team announced Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the surgery on Tuesday. After some research, I discovered that Yocum has many MLB affiliations and is fairly renown around the league. He even conducted Stephen Strasburg's Tommy John Surgery, which is historically one of baseball's trickiest injuries. Strasburg returned fully healthy (although he had an innings limit) this past season and performed extremely well. It's safe to say that Kalish will be in good hands. In 36 game...

You'd be hard pushed to buy a TV now that didn't have a Freeview tuner built into it, but what about Freeview+? If you want the functionality of a video recorder tied into Freeview's EPG and the benefits available as a result you'll need a Digital TV Recorder (DTR) like Sharp's TU-TV162H and TU-TV252H.
The only difference between the two devices, as betrayed by the names is the use of a 160GB hard drive in the TU-TV162H (apparently good for 80 hours of TV recording) and a 250GB (or 125 hour) drive in the TU-TV252H. Elsewhere both boast dual tuners allowing for simultaneous viewing and recording (including subtitle recording), a one-touch recording feature and, of course, access to such Freeview+ functions like series recording - a particularly useful feature!
Connectivity isn't exactly great, comprising a pair of Scart outputs, an RS232 port and an optical audio out, but for standard def TV that isn't a particular problem. There's even a one-month trial of Top up TV and a six-month Setanta Sports trial in the package! Not particularly bad value with the TU-TV162H packing a £129.99 MSRP and the TU-TV252H sitting at £149.99 - the latter clearly bring better value for money.

Don Sullivan....Dealing with Aggression & Sep Anxiety
Just saw this guy in some youtube videos. Both dogs are GSD's with issues that are pretty common around here. I've seen similar methods work on lots of pet dogs. I like the things he says about the dog in the second video, about the excuses people make, etc...pretty basic stuff, but I know they are pretty common issues. It's awesome that a dog that originally had to take pills/drugs, can now be drug and stress free AND in such a SHORT amount of time. I know a lot of people are against punishment, but I have seen it "fix" so many dogs, so fast, and then they can move on, living their lives stress free (both owner and dogs). Just another option for people struggling with these common issues (DA, Separation anxiety...leading to destruction).
Just found this 4 year old discussion on this dude. Interesting thoughts from all. I don't think these methods should be used from the get go on a puppy. I think they are effective (as seen by the thousands of people that proclaim to have very well behaved dogs now as a result), and just another option for those struggling with mature dogs with issues. Especially difficult issues like aggression.
I think a dog meant for sport or work will have it's own program very different than a strictly "pet" dog, I believe this is more for pet owners that just want an obedient dog, that are currently dealing with very common issues.
I went to the lake yesterday with the family and brought my corgi. I put him in a down while we made lunch, while we were down by the lake, etc...His down is dang near 100% reliable, he does not break it at all. There were a TON of dogs there. Nearly everyone that walked within ten feet of mine, barked, lunged, or pulled to get to him. I'm talking a TON of dogs. I didn't see a single one with basic, reliable, obedience. One picnic table over had a dog that actually had one of those nylon muzzles on and was lunging and growling at everyone that walked by the table it was tied to...while owners sat by drinking beer. The solution to their problem of aggression? Slap a muzzle on the dog, tie it to a table, and go about life.
The people around this forum are not the "norm" in the pet/dog world. I would say most people's dogs have zero obedience, or good "tricks" at home, with no obedience once they have distractions. These people are either not going to fix their issues, or they will only do it if it's a "quick" fix. I don't have a feeling of that being right or wrong, I just think it is what it is. These types of programs are successful (I feel), because they are quick and get results.
I have nothing against "longer" programs (I use one myself because I want to do sport with my dog), however...I understand the need for these types of programs (the short ones). The dogs aren't ruined afterwords, they aren't damaged, they are able to live life (I think) more enjoyably with their families. I am in support of ANY program that can get that result for families.
Simple common sense stuff. But common sense just isnt that comon these days..lol.
When you take away the emotion and you limit the dogs options to the outcome you desire through physical and mental management the transformation is always amazing.
Ofcourse you listen to some people on here the dog would be on a halty, uppers, downers, they would be working on thresholds for the next year etc etc..
The grand stories of how proud they where of their rescue baby when she was able to be alone for 15 minutes without destroying the car or peeing herself..etc etc..
We need more guys like him on TV and the net..
I will say though neither of those dogs were monsters or extreme cases. Just run of the mill stuff.

I have only ever seen the one or two videos of this guy, plus his infomercial stuff.
But from what it looks like is basic, mainly balanced reward/correction redirection work. Nothing new or amazing. Correct the dog for unwanted behavior, praise when they do what you asked.
Not a fan of the forcing the "down", still think you should teach before forcing.
But I agree that for 95% of homes, this method is quick and gets them what they want. If they have a normal dog that just has no boundaries. It's pet dog training 101.
Don't think he is anything special. It's a basic slip leash, a few pops, some praise. But nothing new or amazing, just good PR and marketing
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
I agree, it is nothing amazing, but what I did l like was to hear him say "this is a dog with aggression." Period. Not, this dog is scared, this dog is over threshold, blah blah. Just, this is aggression, this dog has aggression in him, let's get that in the open and work from there. I think we'd all benefit from using the proper "labels".
And I also agree that most people simply do not have the patience or ability to work their dog under threshold for years. I don't. Didn't like the down, would have liked to see more rewards layered in, but all in all, good basics for a pet dog owner. Better than many celebrity trainers.
A quick question and some observations from a "Pet guy." :) This strikes me as very similar to the Leerburgh "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog" in a lot of ways.
I couldn't do the "down" or leash corrections with Rocky " he has "Wobblers" so allowances had to made. I did use a fabric/mesh muzzle for a bit but it never really seem to come into play and when I was comfortable with him being comfortable, I dropped it.
But it seemed like using it (muzzle) has a psychological component to it??
I also would think you teach a dog 'Down" first. But what I see with that dog was a dog with issues. My or my not know "Down?" Don't care your doing it and doing it now!
Can't argue with his results! :)
Or maybe you'd you deal with it the same way, regardless of the source of aggression?
You can deal with it the same way regardless then work on the reason after with a dog with a clearer head.
Then after they create the story in their head to justify the behavior they treat the dog like its made out of glass. What could take 1 month turns into a year long process or in many cases is never completely addressed. Of course the excuses abound again.
In the end with the vast majority of cases if you provide firm consistent leadership / training and remove the dogs options:
The fearful/insecure type dogs feel safer and thus a lot of the behaviors go away.
The confident/dominant type dogs respect you and thus are open to the boundaries and training system you choose to impose upon them.
IMO you get what you get genetics wise but just about any dog can be molded into a functioning member of the household that can be taken out in public or left at home without fear of adverse consequences.
In full agreement here! My guy had "people issues" technically I don't know if it was fear or aggression? Struck me that he was not fearful? But regardless, I wasn't having it!!
Leerburgh "Who Pets my Puppy or Dog" worked out just fine for me and Rocky, seven years later I am still enjoying my issue free dog!
Personally I think it's about the dog owners attitude, pro's don't take crap from dogs! By and large "most" pet people do!
Don't want to hurt Fife's feelings get's alot of folks in a world hurt!
Someone mentioned the lack of treats? I wasn't real big on treats myself. My take was pretty much...because I say so!
And my primary means of corrections was tone of voice!

Mums and wild things
May 16, 2012 , 3:53 PM by Jo Printz
The sad passing of author and illustrator Maurice Sendak this month prompted our children's literature expert Sarah Mayor Cox to talk about his life and work, best known of course for 'Where the Wild Things Are', on our fortnightly kid's books discussion.
And because Mother's Day was coming up, we also took a look at some great books about or for Mums:
'Ladder to the Moon' by Maya Soetoro-Ng (Barack Obama's sister's magical tribute to their mother) - "a really beautiful and mysterical tribute to her" is Sarah's review.
A really funny little pocket book by Doug MacLeod and Judy Horacek about mums, called 'The Night Before Mother's Day'.
'My Green Day: 10 green things I can do today' by Melanie Walsh, which is a picture book about living sustainably.
You can hear the discussion between Sarah and morning show presenter Nicole Chvastek here:

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Supreme Court has reversed some, but not all, findings of unprofessional conduct by the former chief of a Ludlow nursing home, and has ruled the five-year license suspension she got was too tough.
Leslie Anne Whittington was issued the suspension by a state administrative law officer who found she intervened in patient care decisions beyond what her training should have allowed.
The court found unprofessional conduct in one case where that was alleged, but not in another.
Whittington also was accused of treating staff at the Gill Odd Fellows Home in Ludlow too harshly, and of mishandling things like supplies and staff schedules.
The court said those things did not constitute unprofessional conduct under state law. It called for a redetermination of the appropriate penalty.

The 54th Annual Commencement Ceremony for Pacific Oaks College was held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Saturday, May 3, 2014. The 2014 graduating class was one of the largest in its history. Over 300 students participated in Saturday's ceremony in front of a few thousand cheering friends and family members.
President Ezat Parnia, Ph.D., recognized that the graduates did not make it to this day alone; they not only had the support of the PO community but from each person who touched their lives. He turned the applause to those members in the audience, mothers and grandmothers, fathers and grandfathers, siblings, children, cousins, friends and neighbors, and to the faculty on stage who made this momentous accomplishment possible. Ending his remarks, Dr. Parnia added, "I am confident that our graduates, this class, will repay the commitment you made to them with a meaningful career and through the impact they will make in their communities. They leave today as agents of social justice and change, and that's something we can all be proud of. My congratulations to each and every one of you."
Graduate Laura Wallerstein gave an inspirational speech reflecting on the journey she and her fellow classmates have taken at Pacific Oaks. "We learned to question assumptions. Embrace differences. Celebrate diversity. Identify injustice. Get involved. Advocate for change. Work for social justice. Have courage. Explore life experiences. Ponder and process. Grow," stated Wallerstein.
The Honorable Dorothy Wright Nelson, senior judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, delivered the commencement address, sharing stories of learning and teaching from her own life. She recounted her earlier connections with Pacific Oaks from spending summers at the Children's School with her aunt Lu as she taught there and through her grandniece receiving her master's degree a few years ago. Judge Nelson spoke to the heart of Pacific Oaks' mission and principles as she concluded "we must teach about the principles of the oneness of humanity that the earth is truly one country and mankind its citizens. We must regard humanity as a single individual. If pain or injury afflicts any part of that body, the result is suffering for all."
Pacific Oaks College is known for providing life-changing educational experiences to adults and non-traditional students. On Saturday this was clearly showcased when 71-year-old Mildred Carter walked across the stage to receive her Master of Arts in Early Childhood Education. Carter completed her courses online and stated that "it helps me to stay in touch with people; I learn a great deal which helps to slow the deterioration of my brain tissues (thereby decreasing the frequency of my "senior moments"); and I have been inching my way toward my dream of obtaining a master's degree. I hope to someday become a school advisor or teacher in the field of child development."
Addressing the newest alumni of Pacific Oaks College with a final "charge" was Cheryl Greer-Jarman, Core Faculty member and Faculty Senate Chair. "Seize this opportunity, branch out by staying connected with your PO family, build on the accomplishments represented by today's events, and help others choose a future grounded in solutions not problems, hope and not despair, courage and not fear, and love and not indifference. We salute you. Consider yourself charged."

By the Numbers

Sept. 25, 2013
By Layne Herdt (@LayneHerdt) Seminoles.com-
ACC play begins this week for the Florida State as they look to defend their back to back conference championships. But before the Noles head to Syracuse let's look back on the challenging non-conference schedule.
"I thought the players played very well," head coach Chris Poole said. "We had some ups and downs and some very close sets that we lost and cost us some matches. At the same time we're trying to blend in some of the youth and some of the experienced players"
"I think we did some things really well, but there are also things we know we need to improve on in order to come into the conference strong." senior Ashley Neff said.
"I think our team performed great," junior Sarah Wickstrom said. "The competition was so hard and we just had to stick it out the whole time, play our best."
And if you don't believe them, here's a by the numbers look at the Seminoles start.
3- The Seminoles earned three wins against ranked opponents during the preseason including a victory against seventh-ranked Michigan, the team's highest ranked win in program history. Florida State also defeated the 17th-ranked squads of Kentucky and Western Kentucky.
3.73- That 3.73 is the kills per set for sophomore outside hitter Nicole Walch, the most heading into ACC play since 2006 when Makini Thompson and Sarah Griffin roamed the court for the Garnet and Gold.
4- Their have been four 20 kill performances for the Noles, the most since 2010 with the Walch sisters Elise and Nicole having all four. Nicole has earned three of those topped by a career high 23 kills against Auburn, while Elise nabbed 22 against Michigan.
8- Eight times in 2013 have Seminole players earned a double-double with half of those coming from senior Olivera Medic who is averaging 2.42 kills and 2.64 digs per set.
13- Senior Ashley Neff is once again putting up a wall at the net ranking 13th-nationally averaging 1.41 blocks per set. Last season the reigning ACC Player of the Year ranked seventh nationally with 1.71 blocks per set.
31- Thanks to some big wins and a tough schedule the Seminole now have been ranked in the AVCA top 25 for a school record 31 straight weeks. The second best streak is also under the leadership of head coach Chris Poole when FSU was ranked for 24 consecutive weeks in 2009 and 2010.
76- Florida State closed out the preseason in style recording 76 kills against Auburn. The number ties the school record for kills in a match during the 25 point system era that began in 2008.
3- Finally, we head back to three, the number of consecutive ACC Championships the Seminoles are shooting for this season. The title defense begins Saturday at noon against Syracuse as the Garnet and Gold look for ACC win number one.

Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
I just got my first Cadillac - a used 1999 Deville, and I have been browsing the forum learning many, many new things. I had hoped to post a simple yet happy introduction here, but unfortunately, within five days of Cadillac ownership, Tires Plus has managed to put a damper on my "new Caddy high" by damaging my weatherstripping. I have a web accounting of the event here: http://www.mlittle.com/tp/
I'd welcome any thoughts from the pros here. What is involved in replacing the weatherstripping? Is this something that one can do oneself?
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
if Tires Plus damaged your car - I'm sure they will have it repaired -
What is involved in replacing the weatherstripping?
remove the old weather stripping -
clean and prep the surface -
install the new weather stripping -
Is this something that one can do oneself?
without knowing anything about your personal ability - it's hard to say -
this not rocket science -
but it does require a certain level of skill and patience to do it right -
if this is your first Cadillac - you should read the entire Owners Manual -
pay particular attention to the "Memory and Personalization" section on page 2-90
and to prevent problems in the future -
inform the shop your doors locks automatically when the door is closed -
OR - change this option - so the doors do not lock automatically -
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
I'm fairly qualified with mechanical, electrical, and electronic repairs, having had years of auto mech training, some professional mechanical job experience, followed by 15 years of industrial troubleshooting and machine control design experience. I've been a computer and network manager for the last 15 years or so, doing my own auto work on my cars and trucks. I think this makes me a hobbyist, at this point.
But I've very little bodywork experience. I'm certain that I can pull a strip and replace it, from a strictly mechanical "go through the motions" standpoint, my concerns lie mostly in how tough it is to get it aligned, layed in straight, whether there are clips to break or other hidden pitfalls. Is this an idiot-proof job? I really don't want to do a junk-job on my Caddy.

Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
I read your blog post. You over-reacted on a huge scale. Your comment about seeing a couple nicks in a 13 year old molding that "Seriously, I was so upset that I needed to back away for a moment so as to not just lose it completely." says that you need to back away for more than a few moments and relax. It's a 13 year old car with over 100k miles, it's not factory-fresh. That's not saying that shops should have carte blanche to damage your vehicle, but if something happens, it happens and most things can be resolved without making such a big fuss about it.
What is your objective with this? Seems like you're trying to shame Tires Plus for a mistake they already said they would fix?
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
Yup, I sure did feel like I needed to back away. It may not matter to you, but when someone heavy-hands a car I've had for less than a week and causes damage to it, I don't feel the need to apologize for getting upset. I didn't spout off at them, I let them know I wanted to discuss it and I stepped back through the door to the customer lounge.
The car certainly isn't factory-fresh. There are some dings and scratches, and even places on the passenger side where the trim is damaged. But the reason I bought it last week was because it was in such good shape. Whatever age is on the car does not give them liberty to cut it up. That strip looked like a new one until they carved on it.
The service manager screamed that he would fix the window motor, yelling at me that nothing they had done could have made it stop working. They wanted me to stay and have them tear into it. I declined. That turned out to be a good thing, since the window was working after all.
And I don't know, dude - maybe you operate a tire center, but if you think that's an acceptable way to treat customers, I hope I don't happen into your shop. I've been doing business at this particular shop for many, many years, buying tires for all of my vehicles there. Never had them do this stuff before.
As for the write-up, I wrote what happened. Yes, it is my side of the story. But I didn't make any of that up, and I didn't wait until my recollections got fuzzy. It is what it is.
At the moment, I'm looking for some insight as to the best way to repair that weatherstrip. Perhaps you have some tips...

Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
Pull it off. Pay $40 for a replacement. Push the new one on. Realize there are far more important things in life to get upset about than a cheap rubber seal.
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
Is that a dealer item, or do you know of a vendor selling the trim?

Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
I don't think you overreacted. I would have pulled the plug on the entire debacle when I seen 3 idiots head to my car with a pry bar and a wire. But I am the dick who stands 5-10 feet away (or as close to my car as possible) when low-skill idiots are changing the tires or oil. If I see something I don't like I speak up immediately.
I would get a quote to fix everything you claim they F'd up from a Cadillac dealership and speak to the General Manager or District Manager of Tires Plus and demand that they pay for the dealership to fix it. If you don't get satisfaction from the GM or DM ask to speak to their boss and so on and so forth...
If some rink-a-dink tire shop damaged my car, you better believe I am not going to let them cut corners and attempt a repair. The fact that they did not let you know your keys were locked inside and just instinctively grab a pry bar and wire says a lot about their integrity as a repair shop. Not to mention humiliating you in front of other customers...
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
How in the hell did they damage that changing tires?
I can't believe the car locked itself. I'm going to look through my manual, but I can't think of any circumstance where the car would lock itself upon exit. You can have door lock in gear or door lock after start enabled, and DISABLE door unlock in park or unlock key off, but you would still have to manually unlock the door to get out. And if you've unlocked the door manually you would have to act upon it in some way to get it to lock again.
The Deville is set up to make it very difficult to lock the keys inside. The power locks will not 'lock' with the driver door open and key in ignition. Motor off or running. I'm also thinking if you manually lock it, with key in ignition, the power locks open when you shut the door... but I'm not positive about that. I'm going to try on mine tomorrow. I'm assuming that my 99 sdv should function the same as yours.
And no. You're not out of line being upset about this. It doesn't matter if a car is ten years old or ten days old its unprofessional and unacceptable to bend the door open to unlock. A "professional" who does this all the time with no damage, is able to do so because they go down between the window seal and jimmy the lock with a slim jim.
New weatherstripping might not be enough to get rid of that air leak because the door is probably bent.

Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
they probably put it in neutral with the door open to get it on the lift. locking the doors as it went into gear, then closed the door
No I tried that on mine. Doors don't lock when open and key in ignition. If the door was shut when it goes into neutral, it could have locked but you'd have to open it to get out. When I closed it again it did not lock.
I was wrong about manually locking it. You can lock the car with the keys in the ignition if you manually lock it.
Unless its haunted like my msm
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
Yeah, I don't recall any of them locking just by closing the door.
Re: Tires Plus store damaged my Deville weatherstripping
Sorry, been gone for a while. Let me see if I can catch up...
GM Parts Giant shows NLA for GM part #683737 or 683738. I think 683737 is the driver's side, If I am guessing correctly.
Reference: Diagram at GM Parts Giant Item # 16
I'm also hoping that the door isn't warped very bad.

A heat pump is a single system that does both your heating and cooling. When a heat pump is used, you won't have a separate air conditioning system because the heat pump can perform both operations. See our selection of heat pump thermostats below.

535i coolant system problems.
I have recently bought a 89 535 and i had done a few work to it because the previous owner had absolutely no idea what they were doing. i had to had the starter rebuild, they replaced the fan and clutch with an electronic fan. i had to install a thermostat since there was no thermostat to begin with. now when i run it and get it to operating temp., the hoses going to the radiator becomes stiff like theres a lot of pressure in the hose. and every time i bleed the coolant, only coolant comes out and no air. so as of right now im stumped. should i be looking for a clogged hose, or should i replace the radiator. also will this cause the engine to run rough after warm up when pressure is build in the hoses?
It is normal for the radiator hoses to be under pressure when the engine is at operating temperature. I prefer the engine driven clutch fan to an additional electric. With the proper thermostatic swtich the electric should work fine.
Is the car overheating? Is the car losing coolant?
Is the car running rough as well?
its not losing coolant and the temp gauge stays at the middle line. the hoses seems to have a lot of pressure though. sometimes it feels hard like a rock and i know that isnt normal to any car.
once i start it up the engine will run fine idle like it should, then once i drive it for a little bit and when the temp gets to the middle line on the gauge, it starts to idle rough. but when i give it gas sometimes it smooths it right out and sometimes it seems like it dropped a cylinder or two.
Is the thermostat in the right direction and right temp ?
Sent from my Desire HD using Bimmer App
If the car is not overheating, and not losing coolant, there isn't likely a problem.
The one thing that can overpressurize the system is a blown headgasket but it would also cause overheating and coolant loss.
Whatever you do, I wouldn't put diesel fuel where it wasn't intended to go, in hope of finding some miracle liquid cure for your car.;)
well i decided to leave the cooling system alone and drove it for a while. and just until a few hours ago it started to over heat on me. as in the temp kept going higher, so i pulled off and open the hood and saw steam and dripping coolant from the coolant expansion tank. i let it cooled for a little bit and started it up and right away the gauge went right down to operating temp and was fine... so my question is what the F@#* did i get myself into buying this car?!?!
Relax man, its just a car, they all have issues at one point or another. At least you saw this coming and got feelers in there.
I start with a coolant flush, fill and bleed and take it from there.
I already flushed it last week with a new thermostat. and while i was looking up similar problems, i was thinking, is it possible that the thermostat didnt open to begin with and cause it to over heat?
Just curious...
Did you rule out a head gasket problem?
Is your heater control valves working properly?
Does it make a difference when you turn on the heater?
My car has been going about a needles width over TDC on the guage, and causing me some concern, so I'm paying attention to the advice of posters.
Supertech777, I had to go to RealOEM, just to assure myself that I had installed the thermostat correctly, even though I was quite certain I did.
New water pump, and new rad, but still the same on the guage.
What, in your opinion, is the proper temp degree for the therm?
I am having another interesting thing happen concerning the cooling and A/C, but I will start a new thread.
Thanks for the continuing education.
A 23 yo BMW may need a cool system over haul, rad,pump,fan clutch,hoses,housing. I would go back to stock HD Clutch fan. I think that coolant channels in the block can de obstructed with debris/corrosion ,witch also can clog Radiators.
I agree with the system overhaul. New sensors and hoses and clamps and housings and gaskets and all of that with a true flush (block included) and proper bleed.
Did you bleed the car right? the heated air left in the system could expand causing all of that pressure you feel in the hoses, and ultimately an overly hot engine...
I'm not sure of the exact way to bleed the air out of an M30, or if its similar to an M50. I know the M60 is a self-bleeding system...
You need to do alot of troubleshooting before you jump to conclusions, and it is likely that you'll need to do stuff anyway just to be safe. Since the overheat ocurred after your repair, there's a good chance that you either did not do it right, or the thermostat was busted though new (it happens).
Try removing the thermostat and driving that way. There's no harm to the car with the themostat removed.....the engine will just take longer to heat up to operating temperature.
You should check to see if your WP (water pump) is working. Pull out the top radiator hose off the radiator, start the car, and see if water spurts out. If it doesn't, then your wp is busted.
On lunch break so I'll be quick.
I will go into detail if not understood later.
For there not to be a thermostat already in the car is a tell.
Usually done to cover up a bad WP, clogged radiator or worse.... BHG (blown head gasket)
However let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Test your current thermostat in a pot of hot water.
If it opens your good.
Let it cool (this is where people don't pay attention) If it doesn't close the thermostat is bad.
Make sure you have a high temp thermostat.
If you don't have one get one.
Drain the system and remove the radiator. Then flush it.
Flushing the entire cooling system at once is good. But I've been down that route your on.
So to be safe I remove the radiator and flush it separately first.
Reinstall radiator.
Flush the entire system
refill and bleed, bleed, bleed.
If that doesn't do the trick then check you wp.
Next would be to inspect your sensors (one on the radiator, one on the thermostat housing)
If none of these solutions work... BHG.
The Idle issue can be from various things. Without much detail on what's been done to the car and when does it occur... it can be anything.
As well most m30 cars have a bit of a lumpy idle.
Sent from my Desire HD using Bimmer App
If your engine is an optemp, you have about 2-3 minutes to do this before the temp would begin to climb. This is enough time to make a quick judgment about water flow. If your engine is cold, you have up to 6 minutes. In any case, you can have someone sitting in the driver's seat watching the needle, or you can work something out with your phone video cam setup to shoot the coolant flow while you are in the car.
Of course, shut down the engine once the temp begins climbing. Repeat the test with fresh topups of water if needed.
The likely suspect in this case is the thermostat, since most problems that occur immediately after a repair are related to the repair itself. However, it is also quite possible that it is not, as it is rare to have a new part be defective right out of the box, and a thermostat can only be inserted one way into its cavity, and if there's no visible leak after that, then installation itself was done correctly. From what the op says, this car was not well looked after, which means the wp is probably could be screwed too.....perhaps that was why the po removed the thermostat, to permit a greater flow of coolant out the cylinder head despite a partially functioning wp.
Tim, you might find this thread useful to your issue :
Most points covered here. If the water pump is suspect ditch it rather than 'test' it. Cheap insurance.
You need to find out why it is overheating. Doing another flush, or a flush at all is unlikely to cure the problem, and when you go to fix the problem you will be wasting expensive new coolant. If the radiator, fans, water pump and head gasket are working, it will run on garbage coolant. Just save it for last, save yourself time and money.
I would also FIRST verify the condition of the headgasket. There are chemical tests that detect combustion gasses in the coolant. Check the oil for milky color. Stop driving if you see oil in the coolant or vice versa.
If the headgasket checks out, go for the cooling system overhaul and thorough system flush. It is impossible for us to know from here what the condition of the radiator is, or the water pump, or the H.G. There is more work to do.
I agree with just replacing the WP. If its suspect, replace it, as stated before, cheap insurance...
A poorly flushed non-bled system would cause over heating. Air becomes pressurized with heat (think hot air balloon if it helps; I know it's not a pressure thing, but temperature causes deferent properties for gases). A lot of air in the system could cause many cooling issues which is why there's such an emphasis on the bleed bleed bleeding.
I wish OP would check back, so we can get some closure or an update.
I think that this is the order of events that's needs to happen here OP:
i checked the oil and there isnt a milky color, the exhaust doesnt smell or looks like its burning coolant so i think the head gasket is fine. is it possible that the hose from the rad to the expansion tank is clogged and/or the expansion tank has some issues.
also where on the block is the drain plug?
also i bled the system using the bleeding screw on top of the thermostat housing and after a while of bleeding it it stopped having air come out. it hasnt over heated again so far.
now my last question, if the rad has a little damage to one of the ports but isnt leaking, would that cause a problem too?
Your last question is "possibly". Any details about this "damage"?
The drain plug on the block of my M50 is under the exhaust in between the 5 and 6 cylinders...
We still have not determined the cause of the overheat. The system has reportedly been flushed and bled, not exactly a complex procedure. Vry doubtful that is the cause.
It is highly unlikely that there is a blockage in a hose.
As mentioned, more info on the damaged radiator.
Did it overheat on the highway at speed, or in traffic, stop and go?
When you installed thermostat was the little arrow or up? Also check the condition of lower raditor hose. If deteriated it could colapse. Good hunting

Help me out brothers and sisters. About a week ago I noticed I had been bitten on my belly by, more than likely, a spider. It looked like 3 small blisters grouped together. Well, now it has turned very dark and I have been feeling bad for the past week. Light headed, a bit queezy at times and I have been very tired. Also getting mild headaches on the left side. I suspect I may have been poisoned by a brown recluse. Anyone who has been through this please chime in. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow but my wife is on me to do it now.
I would post a pic but I don't want to gross anyone out or frighten any children. If any experts want to see the bite, I'll post it. Thanks.

venting kitchen sink drain
My house is 120 years old and is not properly vented for the kitchen sink drain. When the washing machine drains, it cause the kitchen sink to girgle. I installed one of the interior vents with the rubber bladder and it worked find for about a year. Then it stopped working so I replace it but it still doesn't work. The bladder gets wet and I'm sure that's why it won't work but the vent is about a foot above the drain pipe and I even put an elbow in the pipe so there isn't a direct shot to the vent and I can't understand why it keeps getting wet. It's driving my wife nuts. Any suggestions?
Are you saying you installed an AAV & it doesn't work ?? Short of tearing out the interior wall & adding a vent.. You can go to an outside wall & run above the roof..
Have you tried snaking the drain line?

I started this blog because I felt a sense of longing to hold on to some aspect of my son's dwindling childhood. The year my son Jake had his Bar Mitzvah, I began to use this space to document his funny, sweet ramblings and my fatherly observations.
The result, is this series of sometime sporadic reflections of a Dad's enduring love for his growing son.

Cracking bathroom paint and plaster
Can anyone help me with advice on what to do?
A Bathroom wall was plastered and then painted, but the paint has started to crack / flake and fall off.
Do you know how to get all the paint off and should there have been something put onto the plaster before it was painted?
Hi Jimmy,
Have you started your bathroom yet?
The plaster needs to be sealed with a primer (any local Hardware store) getting the old paint off should be pretty easy but will take time. Scraping will be the cheapest and probably cleanest way, you may need a little plaster to fill any misshaps.
Cheers Alan
Hi Jimmy,
I read your post and thought you should know about a very high probability that their could be a lead hazard with you bathroom paint. Their are materials available to make such paint removal safer for the do it you selfer. I figure your in an older home "plaster", "peeling" paint. but if you house was built later then the 1970s, I wouldn't worry too much. If it is built in or before the early 70's I would recommend using a lead test kit (can be purchased at most hardware stores) on the paint so you can be aware of the possible danger before getting to far into it.

It appears to be a lock that Utah will be the first state in the nation to recognize an official state firearm.
On a party-line vote, the Senate gave its initial approval Wednesday to the measure to recognize the Browning M1911, meaning it will likely come up for final passage by the week's end and be sent to Gov. Gary Herbert for his signature.
The measure recognizes the M1911, a semiautomatic pistol used by the Army during World War I and by various police departments and others since.
Sen. Mark Madsen, R-Eagle Mountain, called it "an opportunity to lead ... to honor one of Utah's founding pioneers, one of its native sons."
The M1911 is probably Utah gunmaker John Moses Browning's most famous invention.
Sen. Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, questioned why the state is taking such action.
"Usually, all of these designations come to us from elementary schools," he said. "I'm wondering, with this discussion we're having … why we're not emblazoning this logo on our state flag, or maybe arming the bees on our state flag."
Utah has two dozen other "official" items, including a state fruit, vegetable and cooking pot.

Engadget Mobile dropped the news a few hours ago with some Verizon news to combat all of the Sprint EV-DO Rev. A battle plans: VZW will get a CDMA version of the HTC TyTN called the XV6800. Based on the pic from Engadget Mobile, the device will support the newer EV-DO Rev. A network and expands upon many features from the XV 6700: same basic goodness on the outside, but much more in the chewy center:
- Bluetooth 2.0 support
- 802.11 b & g
- 2 megapixel camera
- 256 MB RAM and 96 MB of ROM
I've had the XV6700 for about a year and I absolutely love it. It's actually my most used device, but these specification increases are a welcome change. We'll be looking to eye-spy this at the HTC / UTStarcom booth at CES in a few short weeks. If I like what I see (and I expect I will), I think this will be my next phone.

Implementing ATDD and Specification-By-Example
Download this episode
Many teams struggle with the discussion of acceptance criteria of user stories and building a shared understanding about the expected outcomes. This leads to unfulfilled implicit expectations of stakeholders, ad-hoc assumptions of the team during implementation and frictions between development and testing in a cross-functional team. Efforts for regression testing and the lack of a reliable source of truth about the currently expected system behavior are additional pains emerging from a weak practice for agreeing on and validating acceptance criteria. In this session Christian will show how specification-by-example and acceptance test driven development can help to address previously described challenges and problems. The presentation will cover theory as well as examples and practical experience from own projects.

From the Journal of the House of Representatives,
Message to Legislature.(May 20, 1915. pp. 1770-1771.)
The Speaker of the House of Representatives:
Dear Sir:-I am returning herewith without approval House bill No. 363, file no. 141, enrolled Act No. 170.
"A bill to amend section six of the chapter twenty-eight of act number one hundred eighty-three of the Public Acts of eighteen hundred ninety-seven, approved May twenty-nine, eighteen hundred ninety-seven, being an act entitled 'An act to provide for the appointment and to fix the term of office, duties and compensation of court stenographers in the State of Michigan,' being compiler's section three hundred sixty-eight of the Compiled Laws of eighteen hundred ninety-seven.
I disapprove House enrolled bill No. 170 (House bill No. 363, file No. 141) because I see no reason why stenographers should be put in a class by themselves because of any disability that may arise. Ordinarily in private employment a reasonable time is allowed for sickness, but if the sickness continues for months (as it may under the terms of this bill) no private employer could submit to it. If stenographers are underpaid then by all means increase their salary. I can see no good reason why stenographers whoudl receive special consideration involved in this bill.
I therefore decline to sign this bill.
Yours very truly,
Woodbridge N. Ferris
