2011 SRX Performance HDD Question! Help!
Hi everyone. I own a 2011 SRX Performance. It came with a 40GB Hard Drive Device. In 11 months I was able to copy from CDs 1399 songs on to my HDD. The memory capacity bar at the bottom of the HDD screen was about halfway filled up. Soon after I had copied over those songs, I was having issues with my glide up navigation screen. The my local dealership said I would need a new radio. In doing so, I would lose all my music, 1399 songs, on my HDD. I was told you cannot copy the music over to the new radio. I agreed, and had the radio replaced. Once the new radio was installed I started recopying the same music to the new HDD. I got through about 350 songs and noticed the memory capacity bar was already halfway full. I called the dealership and they told me the wrong radio was sent from the warehouse and that they would need to replace the radio AGAIN to get the full 40GB. I agreed again. I lost those 350 songs and got a new radio. Once again, started copying the same music over to the HDD and yet again, the memory bar was filling up way to fast. On the current HDD I have 130 songs and the memory bar is about 1/4th the way full. I called the dealership again and they said the again accidentally put the wrong radio in. I am on radio number 4 and still not enough memory on the HDD. The dealership now seems to be backpedaling. They claim that I had a 40GB hard drive on all 4 radios, but the memory status bar isn't true to percentage of being filled up. Is this true?! Why was my factory stocked HDD 40GB and had 1399 songs with approx 50% memory capacity filled, and now these 3 radios since then are filling up too quickly?!? Please help! Am I getting the wrong GBs each time? Is is the memory status bar that's not correct, and I should just keep loading music. I am very frustrated becuase my local dealers keeps swtiching his story. Please respond!

Re: 2011 SRX Performance HDD Question! Help!
You have a 40 GIG drive however NAV information takes up all but about 9GB of the space.
Even at 9GB I should still be getting 3000-3500 songs. My first radio had 1399 songs at about the halfway mark. Curious on why I'm getting to only 130 songs and it's 1/3 filled.

Re: 2011 SRX Performance HDD Question! Help!
Are they the same songs? I mean its possible the nav database grew or your songs are being ripped at a higher bitrate.
It's the same songs coming from the same CDs. Weird!

Re: 2011 SRX Performance HDD Question! Help!
I'm in the process of recording CD's into my HDD after the radio was changed out and I'm at 243 songs and my memory bar is at just under a 3rd of what your memory bar shows in your photo .......... unless your CD's are mega mega long I think your dealer maybe incorrect in his assumption you are getting the correct size GB
On the change out I lost the recorded songs which were at 1,337 and the memory bar was about halfway, I did not mind loosing the songs as they belonged to the previous owner who did not share my taste in music anyway.

Hot Plate
Waffelupa, A Whomp Bam Boom: The Waffelupa is "world famous," at least in the Heights, according to its proud inventors at Java Java Café [911 West 11th Street, (713)880-5282]. A crisp, sturdy cornmeal waffle stands in for the standard chalupa's corn tortilla, but it's pure Tex-Mex above the waffle-line: A layer of sautéed onions and peppers and black beans is topped by a juicy half chicken breast, the whole slathered with thick melted cheese and dished up with sour cream, chopped tomatoes and other assorted fixin's. You'll find regulation rice and more smoky, tender black beans on the side. This lunch or dinner waffle whopper may stretch your credibility or your waistline, but not your wallet at $8.75 a plate. (And did we mention there's also a beef and chili version? Groan.)

How to Remove Ovarian Cysts Naturally - Learn about How to Remove Ovarian Cysts Naturally
Ovarian Cysts are small fluid filled sacs that develop on the ovaries. There are many kinds of cysts and each one can have its own symptoms or complications. Surgical removal of ovarian cysts can't guarantee that more cysts won't develop in the future.So that leaves many women asking what can they do about their ovarian cysts?
When most women consider the removal of an ovarian cyst they only look at the surgical or medical options. Surgery is expensive, and because it's an invasive procedure it carries the risk of causing infection or internal bleeding. One of the other options is hormonal treatment such as birth control pills. When used for an extended amount of time these pills have a wide range of side effects.
It's important not to overlook the natural methods when considering ways to get rid of ovarian cysts. The key is prevention, so starting a healthier lifestyle using proven practices and methods that have worked for others is vital. There are things that women can do from home that will reduce pain, swelling, and pressure on the lower pelvic region that will start to work in about 20 minutes.
Ovarian cysts develop because something is wrong with the biology of the body. Usually, out of balance hormones or insulin levels can be to blame for the recurring ovarian cysts that so many women suffer from. It can be a simple matter of lifestyle change such as increasing fiber intake that makes all the difference in the world.
Click the Link Below to Learn How to Cure Ovarian Cysts Naturally:
Removal of ovarian cysts can be tricky, especially because in some cases a doctor will want to remove the entire ovary instead of cutting the cyst out. For many women this just isn't an option, especially if they are interested in having children, or are just scared of the hormonal consequences of getting rid of their ovaries.
What your doctor may or may not have told you is that most cysts will go away on their own, with no medial intervention whatsoever. This is good news because it shows that you don't necessarily have to undergo surgery or hormone therapy, but this probably does little to comfort you in the short term.
Living with the pain, bloating, fatigue, and anxiety that ovarian cysts cause is unnecessary. Many women have turned to natural treatments to get rid of not only their cysts, but everything else that comes along with them. There is no reason to suffer, one of the best ways to take the abdominal pain away is to use a heating pad and drink some herbal tea. Increasing fiber and water intake is another great way to reduce abdominal pressure.
The great thing about the natural treatments for ovarian cysts is that they provide a long term solution that allows you to keep your ovaries. Many times what's causing the cysts is a hormonal, stress, or insulin imbalance so making a few simple lifestyle changes can set you on your way to healthy ovaries again. Removal of ovarian cysts doesn't have to come from a doctor's office, it's something that you can achieve from the safety and comfort of your own

Coding F and E series in Brooklyn New York
3 Attachment(s)
I have sucessfully coded so far with the coding with E-Sys for the F-series. I have also coded with the NCSexpert coding software for the the
E-series. Besides coding my own car, I have coded the following model years:
-E90, E92, E93, E80s (all E series basically) 2006-2012
-E70s 2006-2011
-E60s 2004-2010
-F10, F12, F13, F20, F25, F30 ( all F series besides Z4 or X5) 2010-2012 (2013 is not tested yet)
Coding that I can and have done from the list below are the most popular:
-Key fob opens/closes windows/mirrors/sunroof/ Trunk lid if there is option with it on car
-CIC module DVD in motion
-Remove seatbelt chime/warning
-enable windows to close when door is open
-Remove I-drive legal disclaimer on startup
-Euro double blinking hazards
-Komfort Eject- Key fob auto ejects from socket (E series only)
-fog stay on while flashing high beams
-fogs stay on with high beams on
-air bag warning
-remove bulb errors
+ There are many other features that I can code that are on the PDF spreadsheet for the E and F series that you can find and download at the bottom of the page:
If you need your car coded for any options listed on the PDF, you can PM me or Text me on my phone if you have any questions about coding or want a tutorial on how to code with NCSexpert or E-sys...Please text me instead of calling me! My location is roughly 5 minutes from the Verazzano Bridge area
Do you charge a fee for this service?
lol! No I did not even see this! Now I know
If you somewhere in CT - let me know, I have a cable and the software, I would like to exchange some experiences. :)
I live in Brooklyn 5 minutes from Verazzano Bridge area. No where near CT!
Coded a couple of cars yesterday and the car owners were happy like a kid in a toy store! lol
Anyone needs coding let me know by texting me and we can work something out to get it done!
Steven 917-939-4980
This great! Thanks for sharing this. Do you know if the following items can be coded on an e92:
-make the seats automatically slide forward when the setback release handle is pulled
-enable the iPod out functionality of BMW apps without the need for a cradle
Those I have never done and i am not sure it can be done to E series. I can code other features besides that though !
Anyone interested getting their BMWs 2005-2013 any body chassis coded hit me up with a text
917-939-4980. Steven
Few more questions (e92):
Can mirrors be programmed to fold/unfold when locking/unlocking ?
Can steptronic (zf in 335) be coded not to shift at redline when I manual mode?)
Can idrive be coded to display actual tire pressures? (saw that someone had done this on an f30 with the same cic based idrive I have)
Can the mode and fm buttons on the idrive unit be coded to act as extra presets? I believe European models have 8 preset buttons instead of 6+ these 2 fixed buttons
Can the mode or heck even the recirc button on the steering wheel be coded to cycle through all available audio sources not just flip between the currently selected radio and media sources?
Hey Sheldon. Nice meeting today bro. Nice clean ride and good hanging out and shooting the breeze!
great thread.. I used to live in dyker/bensonhurst and still have family there and bay ridge.
If/when I get a new bimmer I will definitely be hitting you up for coding.
Anyone that needs coding done to their BMWs from 2004-2013 any model.

Just coded this beast! 2013 M5 which there are only two in New York as we speak of, the one that was at Bimmerstock and this one. This car sounds sooo amazing and the color is incredible Monaco Blue.:thumbup: This car is so nice that I wanted to code as many things for him just to make him stay longer even though he just wanted a couple of things coded! I am quite envious to say the least.
Car has a M1 mode and a M2 mode for performance. Exhaust is unreal!
If you need you car coded give me a text at 917-939-4980 (Steven)
I had a run in with this beautiful 2008 Alpina B7 that I coded today for VIM and other good stuff! Thing is a freakin boat! lol
Guy I will resume coding during the middle of next week for those that contacted me...I still have a little bit of helping family members to clean up after the storm
Coded this cool feature for lane change blinkers for E series BMWs...Default it use to blink 3 times the most and was pretty useless. I coded it to allow 5 blinks for lane change...Pretty cool!

GOODYEAR, Ariz.: The Indians expected to announce Russell Branyan's signing some time this afternoon, but the process was being delayed while the front office figured out a way to make room for him on the 40-man roster.
Branyan, himself, was not expected to make an appearance at training camp until at least tomorrow, the day before the first official workout.
On the field, the drill was pitchers fielding practice, the annual exercise in rehearsing the fundamentals of covering bases, throwing to the correct bases, fielding bunts and fine-tuning pickoff moves. Fans who don't think teams practice those kinds of plays might do well to get themselves to Goodyear -- and learn how boring the process can be to watch.
PFP will continue for at least a few more days. In almost no time at all, pitchers throwing batting practice will begin.
Among the pitchers engaged in throwing sessions today were Fausto Carmona, Jensen Lewis and Mike Gosling.
Fewer than 10 fans watched the proceedings. Apparently, most people in the West Valley -- as these Phoenix suburbs are known -- have jobs. Most visitors from Northeast Ohio probably will wait until the exhibition season begins to make the trip here. The first game is March 5.

By Matt Fussell
Using contrast in drawings is a great way to create a dynamic image. One way of creating good contrast is by using white material or media on dark or black surfaces. White media, of course, comes in many different forms. Ink, charcoal, oil pastels, chalk pastels, and colored pencils are all types of white media used for drawing. Combine this white media with a stark black background and you've got instant contrast. Strong contrast in a drawing usually leads to a dynamic and dramatic imagery.
Drawing with white material on black paper does require some getting used to. This is because most of us are accustomed to drawing with dark material on white or lightly colored paper. This thinking has ingrained in us the need to add dark values and leave the lighter values. When we reverse this thinking by drawing with white material on black paper, our process is the opposite.
Now, we must train our minds to deal with the lighter values and leave the darker values to the tone of the surface. This reversal can be challenging, but important in our development as artists. It forces us to recognize the importance of tints (lighter values) and their inherent relationships with shades (darker values). With practice, our understanding of value and how it is used to create drawings improves.
Drawing with white media on black paper can create stunning imagery and the drawing process itself can lead to improvement in your drawing ability.
While you are virtually unlimited when choosing a medium to work with, if you are doing this exercise for the first time, I would recommend starting with a drawing medium. Drawing mediums that work best for a "reverse drawing" include compressed white charcoal, conté, oil pastel, and colored pencils. Work with a medium that you are already comfortable with so you can concentrate on the thought process involved in working with the lighter values.
The following video demonstrates drawing with white media on black paper....

Video Transcription
Welcome back to another video tutorial brought to you by TheVirtualInstructor.com . Today we're going to take a look at creating a drawing using white media on a dark surface. In this case, I'm using white, dustless chalk on black drawing paper. And I'm also going to be using a white colored pencil later in the video to kind of clean things up. White material on black paper can produce some dramatic effects. It actually is great for creating intense contrast. And it's a great drawing exercise because it forces you to think in reverse from what you might normally think of when you are creating a drawing. Normally, when you are creating a drawing, you would be putting a dark material onto a white surface, like when you would put charcoal or graphite onto white paper. This process is the opposite of that. You're adding the light values to the surface and leaving the dark values. Or addressing the values in a different way. So, it forces you to think in reverse. And it forces you to think about the lighter values. This is a great exercise to increase your skill at drawing. So, I'm just doing a quick sketch here of a bald eagle. And once I've got all of the lighter areas blocked in, I can zoom in here and start working on some of the details. And you'll notice that I'm using a colored pencil now. And this is just a regular white colored pencil. And as I am working with the white colored pencil, I am getting some greater detail in things, but I am also moving the chalk around a little bit. And that's going to create some value and create some mid tones that are necessary for this to be a believable drawing. Now, I'm going to go back and work in a little bit more with my chalk. I'm just going back and forth between the chalk and the colored pencils to try and make sure that I get all of the mid tones and all of the light values that I see in my photo reference. I really want to make sure that I am preserving the integrity of the black paper, so I am trying to refrain from using any dark material on the surface. Because I like the contrast that is happening between the white material and the black paper. Now to get even more detail, I'm going to put a piece of paper over the work that I have already done, so that I don't smear what I've done. And I'm going to use what's called an erasil, which is like a pencil with eraser material inside of it. And I'm going to cleanup some of the areas a bit more. Now, with the erasil, I'm actually creating darker values because I am erasing out the white material. That's going to let some of the black paper to show through. And I'm just going to go back and forth between the erasil and the white material to put the finishing touches to my sketch. So, drawing with white media on black paper is a great drawing exercise for enhancing your understanding of values. It is a challenging exercise and it's one that going to enhance your drawing skill. This has been another video tutorial brought to you by TheVirtualInstructor.com.

This is a very hard one to write, even though it has been nearly a year since a terrible thing happened. When I was in California visiting my sister, the man I once trusted and had married did a terrible thing. He took nine of my beloved babies and just dumped them. Sadly, this beloved furkid was among those taken. I was only able to find one of them - Meio. I hope and pray that they found homes, but I may never know for sure. Not knowing has been so hard. It has been difficult even returning to catster, as seeing their lovely faces still pains me greatly. I've always had many cats and they were well taken care of. If you pray, please do so for my missing babies.
Since this is such a painful thing to write, I am copying this to the diaries of all my missing babies: Bear, D.C., Dart, Holly, Kimba, Kizzy, Kozmo and Princessa.

Only one of Ontario's opposition leaders seems interested in what a former bank economist has to say about reforming the province's public services. And it's not the opposition leader you might expect.
During a visit to The Globe and Mail's editorial board on Thursday, Andrea Horwath – whose New Democrats have traditionally been highly suspicious of Bay Street, and fiercely protective of government services – sounded open-minded about the findings of the review headed by former Toronto Dominion chief economist Don Drummond. And she said she expects the finding of Mr. Drummond's commission, which was appointed by Dalton McGuinty's Liberals and is expected to report shortly after the Oct. 6 election, to be "independent" of interference from whichever party wins power
But in a telephone interview the same day, Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak strongly hinted that he would only be interested in Mr. Drummond's recommendations if they "fall in line" with his party's platform.
"If I have the honour of serving as premier, I'll see how far along Mr. Drummond is," Mr. Hudak said. "But I'd expect the recommendations he brings to the table will be consistent with the winning platform in the province."
Mr. Hudak's shot across Mr. Drummond's bow would be less surprising if the PC Leader had a more robust plan to eliminate the province's $14-billion deficit – part of it believed to be structural – at a time of major economic turbulence.
It's not that he's without ideas on that front, including a promise to annually cut 2 per cent of spending outside health and education (by far the two biggest ministries) and a vague intention to change arbitration rules to help lower public-sector wages. But few people familiar with the government's finances believe that will be enough to provide long-term financial stability, especially considering he plans to concurrently offer billions of dollars in tax cuts and energy rebates.
Indeed, through most of the provincial campaign all three parties have avoided speaking about the tough financial decisions that the next government will face – seemingly with the tacit understanding that Mr. Drummond will do much of the heavy lifting.
By most accounts, the former Toronto Dominion chief economist is game. Sources say much of his commission's early attention is being devoted to the sensitive subject of health care, which makes sense since flattening increases in health spending at 3 per cent annually is central to all parties' budgeting assumptions. And he appears to have been given free rein to propose major changes to the way the broader public service functions, short of recommending tax increases or cuts to health and education (as opposed to cost containment).
Mr. Hudak's skepticism likely owes to the Tories' belief that Mr. Drummond, once a senior federal bureaucrat, is a Liberal partisan in an economist's clothing. Certainly, many Tories don't enjoy a warm relationship with him.
But nobody is suggesting that, if Mr. Drummond proposes things that are anathema to the Tories, they'd be duty-bound to adopt them. And if the Tories happened to like some of his recommendations, the fact that he was appointed by Mr. McGuinty could provide them with cover to do some controversial things.
Besides, it's fair to say this fall's campaign has not exactly been bursting with novel ideas for managing Ontario's finances. One might have thought whoever winds up in power thereafter would welcome as many fresh perspectives as they could get.Report Typo/Error

Photography Suggestions
Moving closer to my roadtrip to bring the TJ to Brooklyn from Seattle--less than a week and counting. I picked up a Panasonic Lumix LX5 to capture the journey as it's not as bulky as a DSLR and therefore, will probably be used more. However, it's much better all around than my trusty old SD790.
I can choose to shoot in RAW or JPEG mode for the trip.
My question to the seasoned photogs out there is: should I shoot in all RAW so that I have a better final product or just sit with JPEG? I'm not SURE that I'll master my GIMP software, but I feel like RAW will give me more options once I get back. Also, if I shoot in RAW, am I limited if I, at first, just want to upload pics to Flickr or imageshack etc; that is, can I convert RAW back to JPEG?
Pretty psyched about my new toy. Also psyched about the new camera.
Usually you can use processing software to convert RAW format to JPEG. I was looking at the specs on the panasonic website, it looks like you can shoot in RAW and JPEG so that may be the easier route even though it does take up more memory. That is how I shoot with my camera, you can always delete anything you don't want for Flikr, Etc.
Have fun with both your new toys!
Oh, and I definitely know what you mean about using the premium compact camera more than a DSLR. I have a DSLR and a Canon powershot G10 and I tend to use the powershot more often mostly due to its size. It usually hangs out either locked in my glovebox in the jeep(A tuffy glovebox) or is in the big inside pocket of my vest when I'm on the motorcycle.
If you plan on going through S.D. on your travels you should go see Mt. Rushmore. it is fantastically beautiful.
It is a must for our family to take the young-uns to see Mt Rushmore.Last time out we spent the coin and took a helicopter tour.It was truly awesome.If I could afford to,we move out to Rapid City.
RAW will give you a lot more latitude in post-processing, allowing more manipulation before clipping occurs. If you're a person that maybe just makes minor corrections (if any) before uploading them somewhere, then JPG is the easier choice.
On the other hand, if you carefully hand-tweak every photo to get the best possible image out of it, then RAW is the best option. Raw is easily converted to JPG for uploading to flickr, etc.
The only reason to bother with the hassle of the RAW file size is if you plan to do INTENSE digital darkroom stuff - really get into adjusting color levels, etc.
You can still modify JPG's a lot, just not quite as much.
If you shoot RAW you will fill up your camera, and that frequently means you will get all worried about the number of shots you're taking. And for me, that removes one of the cool things about digital over film: just shooting anything I see without getting all stressed about my tripod, light meters, etc.
Have fun on your trip!!
Yeah I'll usually shoot RAW for vacation photos and actual photographs taken for the sake of photography, if that makes sense. Like this:
On the other hand, family snapshots, etc. often end up as JPG.
The RAW images for my camera (a Canon 5D Mk II) are about 25MB each, so that adds up quick. :) I have a wallet filled with over a dozen 8GB and 16GB cards for that reason.
My decision tree for RAW is that if I am looking for a well shot "scenic photograph" I shoot RAW, but then I also bring out the tripod and the Olympus E30 DSLR. If the spontaneity of the photo is most important, such as family, parties, gatherings I will shoot with a point and click and JPG.
In the old days my Pentax 6X7 was the DSLR of the day, loaded with 64Ektachrome and my OM-1 thru OM4T was the faster, easier point and shoot loaded with 100-200ASA film.
We won't even talk about the Speed Grafix.
Not that some great pictures aren't taken with point and shoots ( I am not bashing them at all) but,if you are taking the type of photographs that you are going to be doing some serious editing on then use the DSLR and shoot in RAW. If you are going to be just snapping some snapshots of the trip then shoot JPEG's. I might be wrong but I would bet that a good photographer with a DSLR can shoot JPEGS that will be a better finished product then RAW edited images with a point and shoot. That said it is not always about the equipment. I have seen a cell phone pic on a photo forum that you would swear was taken with a several thousand dollar camera.
Thanks everyone. My natural reaction when I hear things like "light meters" means that I should probably frame a good shot and just accept my jpeg status in photography life.
When I had my D40, the pictures I ended up were incredible, but with the bulky (for what I'm used to) kit lens, I didn't take it with me all that often. Had I invested three hundy in the 50mm lens, I probably would have taken it with me a lot more.
5 days to go...:)
wow the only things in this thread i understand is mcbears aim and shoot, and i have heard of pentex. does this mean my polaroid "swinger" is dated? sounds like a great trip cross country.
I'm pretty sure it's going to be a blast so I plan on doing it again some time this summer and Rushmore would be on that list. The second time might be in the gf's hybrid civic at 48mpg...
You don't have to school me on Cracker Barrel--I'm very familiar with the Cherry Pancake Coma especially when I combine it with some kind of breakfast meat.
Once Kodachrome passed this last month the ability to shoot 25ASA/ISO went away and super fine resolution with it.
Now my backpack consists of an Olympus E3, E30, three zooms, two fixed lenses, extra flash, remote and a laptop, all hooked to a Bogen 3040/3047 tripod. It is why I call the LJ my rolling tripod. I need the extra room for all my stuff.

BENch notes
Highlights, scores and observations of all things sports. Welcome to life on the bench with Ben Watanabe.
Highlights, scores and observations of all things sports. Welcome to life on the bench with Ben Watanabe.
Losing four games in a row, the Falcon boys basketball team had a short rest before facing the Granite Falls Tigers on the road tonight.
The Falcons lost an international game to Penrith, a team from Australia, 59-41 on Monday night.
The Tigers (2-4; 6-6 overall) are one spot ahead of the Falcons in the Cascade Conference. South Whidbey's offense has sputtered in recent games, which allowed opposing teams to score quickly and often.
In the past three conference games, South Whidbey allowed 85, 67 and 71 points. On the season, the Falcons allow an average of almost 60 points while only scoring 48. The Tigers, however have a positive difference between their points scored (59.7) and points allowed (57.5).

A Drop-in Clinic For Design Help & Hovering In Tokyo [PechaKucha]
The international design hub shares presentations on a design walk-in advice hub and amusing activities in Japan.
The Design Walkin — a project created by Zahra Ebrahim (ArchiTEXT.inc) and Ken Chong (The Baitshop Inc) and presented at PKN Toronto Vol. 16 — is a drop-in clinic created to make design and design advice accessible to the general public.
In this presentation (in Japanese, from PKN Sendai Vol. 2), Kazushige Monou talks about his Tsurezure Dan project, in which he tries to produce fun and creative activities in the Tohoku region, with the hope of sharing them with others.
There's only one new addition to the Tumblr blog today, and it takes the form of the poster you see above, for next month's PKN Springfield, IL Vol. 8.
Today we'll point you to this Flickr photoset from last week's PKN Kingston Vol. 3 (pictured above), and what a night it was. "Our heads are still spinning from the event," says PKN Kingston organizer David Cuthbert. "It went really, really well, and we had our largest event to date, over 200+ (totally unplanned)."
We'll share one more photo today, this one in a series that our PKN Tokyo photographer Michael Holmes has been taking for our event flyers (see the first one here). A lovely hovering photo taken near our venue, SuperDeluxe, just before the start of last month's PKN Tokyo Vol. 93.
Here's what you can expect in terms of PechaKucha action this weekend. Tonight (July 13), we start with PKN Chattanooga Vol. 11 and PKN Moscow, Idaho Vol. 2. On Saturday we have the following trio of events: PKN Tulsa Vol. 1, PKN Ostrava Vol. 8, and PKN Nara Vol. 3. Since Monday is a holiday here in Japan and so we won't be updating the blog, take note that PKN Leeds Vol. 12 is taking place on that day, and then on Tuesday you can look to Jacksonville as it celebrates its Vol. 20.

Come check out the new Minnesota Boxer Rescue group! We'd love to hear from you.
I finally decided I needed to bring Marta into the vet to be put to sleep. She was not doing well and she really probably had no quality of life left. I don't think she even knew her own name, let alone anything we said to her or who we are. She had no concept of anything really except eating, drinking, bodily functions, and sleeping which are all most likely instinct more than anything. It had just gotten too hard to care for her and clean up after her all the time and it isn't like she was getting much out of it anymore.
I am 99% sure she had a brain tumor which is probably what started her seizures over a year ago and she had just gotten progressively worse over the last year. She circled almost constantly when she was awake and on her feet, and it was always the counter clockwise direction, which the vet indicated had to do with brain tumor stuff (and would explain her blindness too). With the circling she ran into walls and anything in her path (a lot) and hit her head and would wince/yelp, but it didn't stop the circling. I know she couldn't help it and I feel so bad; I wish I could have helped her more.
Marta is deeply missed along with her little "brother" MoJo!!! The house is SO QUIET with them both gone now. The poor kitty is going to be sick of me soon. I will be following him everywhere seeking attention and affection and bestowing all of my attention on him. LOL!
The vet had said that sometimes they can determine which lobe of the brain has a tumor based on the direction of the circling. Marta is just getting worse and worse; she is not present in her mind / body anymore. I think I need to start working my thought processes to being ready for letting Marta go. It isn't fair to her in that she is always confused, "lost", or agitated if she is not sleeping. What "quality" of life is that?? The largest problems with her circling and pacing is that she runs into EVERYTHING because she can no longer see. I also cannot leave her unattended inside by a watchful eye for very long either since she will go to the bathroom whenever and wherever. Poor thing.
Between Marta's problems and MoJo's liver disease it is very overwhelming and tiring and hard to get a good night sleep since it does not go uninterrupted. Lately I bet I am woken up every 1/2 hr to every hour by MoJo and then Marta in between. It is even harder because I know MoJo probably won't last much longer either since what is left of his liver is probably deteriorating daily. "Puppies" are supposed to live longer that that!

As usual, last week's Comic-Con 2009 in San Diego brought out the most dedicated and shameless dress-up types, decked out like their favorite imaginary costumed bad-asses from comics, movies, TV shows, and video games. From Slave Leia to Luke Cage, they ran the gamut of geekish obsession, transforming ordinary conventioneers into objects of awe, derision, or lust. We just wish we could've helped. Your challenge this week:
Show us how you could use past or current Woots as part of your superhero, sci-fi, or video-game costume.
Emphasize the inventive DIY aspect of cosplay - we're not looking for Hollywood-quality likenesses. It should be obvious that the costumes are fan-made.
Post your entry here by 11:59 AM (central) on Monday, August 3, 2009. Prizes are $20/$50/$100 for 3rd/2nd/1st. The rules and criteria for winning: our panel of volunteer judges can and will make stuff up as it goes along. Use Photoshop, linoleum blocks, pastels, MSPaint, cave painting, tattoos, tribal scarification, whatever, but it'll only be judged if it's visible in our forums as a jpg, gif, or png. As we are fond of saying, try to keep your maximum width to 550px. If you need a place to host your pictures, try www.imageshack.ws or www.photobucket.com. We have no connection to either, but they seem free and easy to use. And if you want us to be sure your entry was indeed your work, post links to your source images. The more sure we are that you did your own work, the more likely we are to consider it for a prize.

El camino (Spanish Edition) (original 1950; edition 2010)
by Miguel Delibes
Work details
El Camino by Miguel Delibes (1950)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Delibes's breakthrough work, El Camino, was published in 1950 and was his third novel. It deals with the daily life of a remote village in the Spanish countryside, as seen though the eyes of an eleven-year-old boy who is on the point of leaving the village for the first time to go to boarding school in the big city.
It's something between a coming-of-age novel and a timeless portrait of life in a small community. There's a great deal of local colour, it positively drips with charm and sentiment, but it's not just chocolate-box: there's a lot of hard reality under the picturesque details, and probably rather too much sex and death for the average eleven-year-old to be entirely comfortable with. It becomes clear as you read it that it's a very cleverly constructed book, using all sorts of narrative tricks to build up the picture of how the village works and how Daniel comes to terms with the irreversibility of growing-up (which, as we all know, is one of the scariest things about childhood).
Superficially, it feels a bit like Just William as Marcel Pagnol might have written it, and there is also an occasional echo of the morality of Don Camillo (but without Guareschi's robust humour) — all of which probably just says that it's typical of the way writers of a nostalgic and moderately conservative frame of mind dealt with the challenges of post-war Europe.
Interesting, and very agreeable to read (with a splendidly weepy ending), but you probably wouldn't want too much of it.

Contract Talks Resume Between MTA and Transit Union
Talks resume Thursday between New York City's Transport Workers Union and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It is the first time the two sides will have met since contract talks collapsed late last month.
Both sides return to the bargaining table with little animosity, according to a source close to the union. But the calm comes after theatrical fallout. At a press conference a few weeks ago, TWU Local 100 President John Samuelsen accused the MTA of negotiating in the media.
The MTA fired back that it was the union talking to the press.
The top sticking points remain. The MTA wants a five-year agreement with the union, with no wage increase for the first three years, followed by 2 percent across-the-board wage increases in subsequent years. The union wants a three-year contract, with cost of living increases each year.
Additionally, the MTA is proposing increases in health care contributions for workers. It's also asked for a host of rule changes, such as whether the MTA will be able to combine train conductor and operator jobs.
According to one union official, negotiations are expected to drag on for several weeks. There's currently no threat of a strike like the one that stalled public transit for three days in December 2005.
The MTA's contract with TWU Local 100 expired on January 15.

When I was maybe 2 years old, my mother lost track of me in a Toys-R-Us store. After a dozen stressful minutes, she finally found me - holding a Fisher-Price airplane. And so began my love affair with airplanes and aviation. So as I looked through the break-out schedule while attending NVIDIA's GPU conference two weeks ago in San Jose, California, Gulfstream Aero's session on transforming manufacturing and field service with desktop virtualization caught my eye. It didn't disappoint.
There are 2 reasons why I liked this session so much and why I think it's worth sharing with you:

Yamaha DVX-1000 2.1 home cinema system
Only three speakers but an eight-channel experience
Posted in Personal Tech, 19th November 2008 09:02 GMT
Review The DVX-1000 promises to be the last word in 2.1-channel home cinema, delivering a level of surround sound not heard before from a three-speaker system. Or so Yamaha would have us believe.
It claims the DVX will deliver a 7.1-channel experience from just three speakers, a technique Yamaha's marketing droids have dubbed Air Surround Xtreme. Let's see if it manages it.
Yamaha's DVX-1000: 7.1 sound from a 2.1 set-up?
The first clue to the genuine power under the DVX's hood comes when you unpack the sub-woofer, an absolute brute - do not drop it on your foot - with a top vent, large heat sink and 16cm driver. Also housing the 2 x 90W amplification unit, the sub boasts a decent sized transformer, custom-made capacitors, separate analogue/digital sub-systems and shielded digital circuitry, all designed to prevent signal interference.
The rest of the system feels equally solid, with other early signs of quality including decent screw-fit cable grips on both the sub-woofer and the speakers.
Set up is easy. A 13-pin system cable connects the sub-woofer to the head unit. Wire the speakers up, connect the head unit to your TV and you're ready to go. The only slight quibble here is that the cable connectors on the sub-woofer are right under the heat-sink, which will make those with chubby fingers struggle a little when connecting the cables.
The read-out on top of the machine can't be seen unless you're standing right over the unit. However, all the unit's functions can be accessed from a pretty well laid-out remote and viewed on the TV, so this negates any real control issues.
Well connected
Turning the DVX-1000 on brings the set-up screen into view, with it the straightforward process of entering the various screen and audio options. Happily, most of these can be set to automatic so that the unit will recognise the screen format and audio stream, and select the appropriate settings.
But there are some very useful manual adjustments that can be made to get the most out of the system. The volume and delay levels on the 100W speakers - an 11cm woofer partnering a 2.5cm soft-dome tweeter with an edgewise-wound voice coil - can be adjusted to fine-tune the system, and you can adjust to a narrow or wider surround stage to accommodate one or many viewers.
Yamaha claims that no less than seven different technologies have gone into creating the Air Surround Xtreme effect, the chief of which is what Yamaha claims is the world's first 24kHz Head-Related Transfer Function (HTRF), which mimics how humans spatially locate the sounds that enter their heads through their ears.
A rather stylish head unit
HRTF has been done up to 8kHz, but Yamaha says that increasing this to 24kHz enables much more accurate audio imaging. Now, if anyone is going to pull this kind of thing off convincingly, it's Yamaha. For years, it has busied itself with psycho-acoustic technologies so users of its high-end receivers could make music sound like they were in Carnegie Hall.
While some of the past indulgencies could be seen as just that, the technology employed here delivers a really stunning performance. Any concerns about the lack of a dedicated centre channel are dismissed as vocals come over clear and tight.
So much emphasis has been placed on the surround effect abilities of the machine we decided to give it a real work-out with the opening destruction scene from the movie Transformers. Bits of shattered helicopter, planes, ricocheting bullets and bits of bone fairly flew around Register Towers. Indeed, from just three speakers the surround level achieved is one of the best we have ever heard from this type of system.
The final piece of the audio jigsaw is delivered by the unit's very capable sub-woofer. The sub uses Yamaha's second-gen active Servo Technology (YST II), which is designed to make the sub and the amp work closely together so the speaker delivers as close to linear motion as possible. Indeed, the sub-woofer growls and rumbles in perfect time with the on-screen action and really does deliver that extra dimension of depth and impact which so many subs lack.
Another useful audio option is the ability to pick between DVD- and CD-specific settings. Movie mode ensures that dialogue is clear, while emphasising the rear channels. Music Mode is designed to provide full-frequency clarity.
It's also possible to select an Audio Direct mode which cuts the video circuitry out of the signal path and switches off the front panel illumination to lessen any possible audio interference. The DVX-1000 also has a compressed music enhancer to improve the quality of MP3 and WMA files. Other audio codecs supported are Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6.
And there's a CD up-sampling function that doubles the CD sampling rate to 88.2kHz in an attempt to produce a smoother sound. Yamaha recons this takes the quality of an ordinary CD close to the quality of DVD Audio, and we'd have to say it's not far wrong. There's a 3.5mm jack and a dedicated USB port for portable players and Flash drives.
Vision performance is also of high quality. You can set the DVX-1000 to scale at 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p and 1080i/p resolutions, and a decently produced DVD fully up-scaled looks so good that a Blu-ray drive looks superfluous, especially while the disc price differential is still significant.
No need for a Blu-ray player with this boy?
DVD navigation is very pleasing - it's smooth and very quick. The ability to return to the point at which you left a disc, even if it has been ejected from the machine, is nice. The unit can remember the last ten discs in this way, and up to 40 discs can be 'locked' so that, for example, parents can prevent their kids from watching discs out of their age-range.
The unit can handle DivX and DivX Ultra video, and JPEG snaps on disc or USB stick. Connections at the rear of the head unit include an HDMI interface, Scart, optical digital in, component- and composite-video out, s-video out, analogue (aux) input and line out.
The DVX-1000's price isn't the most competitive around, but to be fair, once you've spent some time with the machine you can see where the development and build money went. Its performance is so good that you feel you'll more than get your money's worth over the years.

Having a cheery and chatty personality can feel like an under-valued or unwanted trait, but it's something lots of employers want.
A smiling face is really important in the world of the receptionists. Expected to be incredibly organised and friendly, this role is so much more than picking up the phones.
Receptionists need to have an ear to the ground and be aware of everything that's going in an organisation, from knowing which important meetings will be taking place to co-ordinating deliveries and organising travel arrangements for staff. You'll also often be the first person that employees and potential clients see, so you're always representing the company.
A receptionist's daily tasks will involve:
Pointing out the obvious, this is a desk-based job as the reception needs to be manned at all times. Your hours will depend on where you work: while a hospital receptionist is likely to work shifts, a corporate receptionist will work 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, so you're bound to find a company to suit your needs.
While you can't move from the reception desk, you can move up the career ladder quite easily. Receptionists often climb up through the ranks of the company they work for, just ask former Hewlett-Packard's CEO Carly Fiorina who once manned a front desk. With a little experience and hard work, receptionists can move to bigger companies and more supervisory roles managing a team of receptionists or take a side step into administration or HR.
Starting salaries for rookie receptionists is around £12k while experience can take you all the way to £25k for a job as a senior receptionist.

"What I really like about this job is that I get to meet new people every day. It makes the job interesting and it's really sociable" says Emily.
"Staff members change their minds on a regular basis with things like booking train times. It can get quite complicated and confusing!"
As with many roles in administration there are often no minimum requirements; however, employers will value GCSEs in English and Maths as well as proven IT skills. If you want to get some qualifications under your belt, there are plenty of courses that will give you the edge, including:
There are more specific qualifications for receptionists working in industries such as beauty, hospitality and health. Companies that deal directly with international clients will also value receptionists who can speak more than one language.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Richmond battled an undefeated Hartford to the end, but fell 59-54, Sunday afternoon at Chase Arena.
The Spiders fell to 1-3 on the season, while Hartford improved to 4-0, remaining undefeated at home.
"We played a tough Hartford team on the road and came up short," said head coach Michael Shafer. "We competed. Our margin of error right now is pretty small. We have to do a better job of eliminating unnecessary mistakes and turnovers as we can so we can find success. I believe this group will do that and find a way to get some good wins against a tough schedule."
Hartford maintained a 30-23 lead going into the break, but it was the Spiders who struck early to get the score to within 34-31 with 16:34 remaining.
Seasoned senior Rachael Bilney put Richmond ahead with a momentum-swinging three-pointer on the wing at the 6:31 mark to give Richmond its first lead of the half at 47-46.
From there, the lead seesawed back-and-forth until three consecutive baskets from Ruthanne Doherty put Hartford ahead 53-49. The Hawks would not relinquish the lead.
Richmond took a 14-8 lead early, spearheaded by a long-range bomb by Rachael Bilney but Hartford soon countered with 10 unanswered points to go up 20-16. The scoring spree allowed the Hawks to bolster its lead to a 30-23 advantage at the break.
Liz Brown was a marvel in the post, scoring a season-high 12 points, off 6-for-10 shooting from the field. Brown also added six rebounds and two blocks. Bilney added 11 points and three assists. Genevieve Okoro chipped in with 10 points, while utility player Becca Wann added a team-high four assists, seven points and nine rebounds.
The Spiders outrebounded the Hawks, 35-31, and shot 42 percent for the game (21-of-50) and 39 percent from long range (5-of-13). Richmond had 14 assists.
Richmond spends its Thanksgiving week in Cancun, Mexico with games against Minnesota, Witchita State and Wisconsin-Green Bay.
The Spiders tip against the Gophers of Minnesota Thursday at 1 p.m. ET.

Best way to patch a duct
I need to remove an outlet from the big main heating duct (don't know what its called) out of my furnace. There is a large square hole now. Whats the best way to patch this?
Cut a piece of ducting sheetmetal that's slightly larger than the square hole. Secure it into place using sheetmetal screws. Use ducting tape to seal the seams.
That was my intuitive thought, but I wasn't sure if maybe there was something I hadn't considered. Thanks a lot.
If you really want to be particular, you can also use duct caulking sealer and the foil-style duct tape....
Yes, you can use mastic, but the ducting tape (not duct tape) should suffice, especially for a home application on a flat surface. Mastic is typically used on ducting joints where there may be more expansion and contraction due to temperature deltas when the heat kicks in.
Clean the duct well and let it dry then a bead of sealant,metal patch,screws,and foil tape.

About «Torchbearer »
Torchbearer is a riff on the early model of fantasy roleplaying games. In it, you take on the role of an adventurer seeking his or her fortune. To earn that fortune, you must explore fornlorn ruins, brave terrible monsters and retreive forgotten treasures. However, this game is not about being a hero. It is not about fighting for what you believe. This game is about exploration and survival. You may become a hero. You might have to fight for your ideals. But to do either of those things, you must prove yourself in the wilds. Because there are no jobs, no inheritance, no other opportunities for our deadbeat adventurers. This life is their only hope to prosper in this world.

EUR/USD Fundamental Outlook at 1500 GMT (EST + 0500)
The euro moved marginally higher vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar today as the single currency tested offers around the US$ 1.2850 level and was supported around the $1.2705 level. Traders are closely watching negotiations in the U.S. Senate on President Obama's proposed US$ 819 billion fiscal stimulus program. Dealers are also considering the likelihood a bad bank will be unfurled in the U.S. to purchase toxic assets from banks' balance sheets. Dallas Federal Reserve President Fisher warned the Buy America program in the proposed fiscal stimulus is too protectionist. Data released in the U.S. today saw December consumer spending fall 1.0% after declining a revised 0.8% in November while personal income was off 0.2%. The December core personal consumption expenditure prices index was unchanged in December and up 1.7% y/y. Also, the ISM January national factory activity index rose to 35.6 from 32.9 in December. In eurozone news, European Union officials reported all European countries may establish bad banks to absorb toxic assets. Data released in France today saw the December jobless total rise about 45,000. Also, the EMU-16 January purchasing managers' index improved to 34.4 from 33.9 in December. EU's Alumnia reported there is zero chance that any eurozone country will leave the euro. Most traders believe the European Central Bank will not reduce interest rates this week with next month the most likely time for a monetary easing. Euro bids are cited around the US$ 1.2475 level.

It happened on this date: Northridge Earthquake January 17th, 1994 (Various Videos)
Today marks the day 19 years ago the massive Northridge earthquake struck in Southern California. The magnitude six-point-seven quake hit at 4:31 a.m. Fifty-seven people were killed, freeways collapsed, buildings were violently shaken and much of the area was plunged into an eerie predawn darkness as power transformers exploded. The 1994 quake caused an estimated 20-billion dollars in damage.

Hi everyone, well I'm here to tell you that I'm asking those owners with the steering wheel shake to contact VWofA and complain about your issue. I have spoken to VW Executive Care Team about this issue and I have been told that I'm the first one to have this complaint? What a bunch of crap, I've read all the feedback about the issue on this forum and other forums and I know I can't be the only one with this issue. According to VW, unless we as owners and the dealers we have our Touareg's serviced at complain about it, VW will not start a TSB. I have done the following and still have the issue:
-Four Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season tires, Road Forced Balenced multiple times, new tires were also replaced again because dealer thought it maybe a tire issue.
-Full alignment x 2, All four!
-Brake Pads and Rotors replaced
My Touareg has 44,000 miles and I really love my SUV! This is my third one and I swear by them, but this issue is really pissing me off! For those of you that have had or still has this issue, please call VW Touareg Care Team at (877) 389-4928. Remember, we are the only vehicle in the VW lineup that has a Care Team, some how when we purchased our suv's we must have paid extra for this service. I feel if we complain enough and show numbers we can make a difference.
Please don't flame me for this post, I'm just trying to make a difference, hopefully VW is listening.......

Housing the Poor and Homeless
City Inside/Out explores how neighborhoods are responding to the influx of low-income and homeless housing
Tonight, Seattle Channel's City Inside/Out with C.R. Douglas examines what is happening as services and housing for the poor spread out from downtown.
It used to be that Seattle's homeless found shelter and support almost entirely in downtown facilities. But in recent years, more and more low-income housing and social services have been dispersed in neighborhoods across the city. The reason? The expense of downtown real estate and the sense that the homeless problem is citywide.
This week, City Inside/Out takes up this growing trend and gauges neighborhood reaction. First, we travel to Ballard and look at how one community is struggling with these changes.
Representatives of a business association, property owners and housing and human-services providers give their take on this issue and representing the Ballard community on this issue is Dave Jarrell from the Ballard Preservation Association.
City Inside/Ot will be asking the questions of who is moving into this new housing? Why do some in neighborhoods oppose it so strongly that they are suing? Will non-profits saturate neighborhoods with subsidized housing? Is there common ground between neighborhoods, merchants and housing providers?
Watch it tonight at 7:00 p.m. on the Seattle Channel, Cable 21 or visit www.seattlechannel.org.

Canelo Big Bear Media Day
By Miguel Maravilla
Photos: Big Joe Miranda
Just three weeks away from one of the most highly anticipated fights in boxing history, Mexican superstar WBA/WBC super welterweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KOs) is in the grueling stages of his training camp as he prepares to take on eight-time world champion Floyd "Money" Mayweather (44-0, 26 KOs) on September 14 live on Showtime PPV from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
"I am ready for this. That's the reason I asked for this fight. It's a difficult tough fight, we have been working hard but we have our advantages," Canelo told the media.
"Canelo is getting ready to take on the biggest challenge of his career. This reminds me of my fight when I fought Trinindad. Both of us were undefeated and both Canelo and Mayweather are undefeated," De la Hoya said.
Canelo worked out for media on Tuesday afternoon at Shane Mosley's high altitude training headquarters in the mountains of Big Bear, California as he has been preparing the last two months for his showdown Mayweather. The 22-year-old Canelo was sharp as he trained under the watchful eyes of father/son duo manager assistant trainer Jose "Chepo" and trainer Eddie Reynoso.
"We are happy with this training and are focused for this fight. Mayweather is a veteran fighter with hand speed, a very intelligent and technical fighter, a counter puncher that runs but we have a fighter that is strong, intelligent, with great defense, hand speed, and power," Eddie Reynoso told Fightnews.com. "Expect for Canelo to win the fight. It will be easier than what people think."
"We are training hard to beat Mayweather," Jose "Chepo" Reynoso told Fightnews.com. "A sparring partner mentioned to us that Mayweather said Canelo only comes forward, Floyd will be surprised."
"Training is going great and my sparring has been helpful. I feel good at these heights in training camp," Canelo commented. "Training in Big Bear is where I prepare myself. "It's one of the great places to train. I can focus a lot here."
Canelo last trained in Big Bear for his preparation against Mosley. In his last two fights Canelo trained near the beach in Santa Monica, California. This time he finds himself training and getting pointers from the veteran Mosley, a former world champion who has experience being in the ring with both Canelo and Mayweather.
"It is a tough fight to call. Both have fast hands and good technique but I think Canelo has the advantage in punching power. It will be a good fight," Mosley told Fightnews.com
Team Canelo are well aware of the obstacles that lie ahead. Their counterpart is undefeated in forty-four fights with an impressive resume. With wins over the late Genaro "Chicanito" Hernandez, Diego Corrales, Arturo Gatti, as well as Zab Judah, Oscar de la Hoya, Juan Manuel Marquez, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and most recently dominant in his last fight in winning a unanimous decision over Robert Guerrero, last May.
"Floyd is right handed with a difficult defense to penetrate but we will work on the best strategy to come out with the victory. Many of his past opponents lose their patience. They get desperate and try to rip his head off, that is not the way to beat Floyd," Canelo told Fightnews.com.
The toughest wins for Mayweather came in 2002 when he won a split decision over Jose Luis Castillo, four- years later he squeaked out a decision against Oscar de la Hoya in 2007, and last year when he defeated Miguel Cotto. One thing those three opponents had in common they boxed and used the jab effectively against Mayweather. Canelo definitely feels he has the tools and smarts to give Floyd a tough fight, especially since he is the stronger and bigger puncher.
"I think Cotto gave him a good fight. He fought him well. To me Oscar beat Floyd, Jose Luis Castillo gave him a good fight many believe that Castillo beat him but in my opinion Mayweather won," Canelo told Fightnews.com "I studied the Cotto fight. He was able to penetrate Floyd's defenses and we are able to pick things from that fight."
Alvarez is coming off a unanimous decision win over Austin Trout in San Antonio, Texas this past April in a world title unification bout, winning the WBA super welterweight title and avenging his brother Rigoberto Alvarez, who lost to Trout for the vacant WBA title.
"In my fight against Trout I adapted to him. I felt good in that fight. Everyone thought Trout was going to make me look bad but I proved everyone wrong, every good fighter brings out the best in me but I believe that Floyd will bring out all the best of me," Canelo stated.
Somebody's "O" has got to go on Mexican Independence day weekend. Canelo is certain it won't be his and he will grind out these next few weeks of training camp to give his Mexican people and many boxing fans what they want and that is tohand Mayweather his first defeat come September 14.
"To all my Mexican people, we WILL win come September 14!" Canelo concluded.

Pre early 60s cars had four point mounts -- usually two near the front of the engine and two on the bell housing. That's right, the transmission just hung off the back of the bell, even those old heavy Dual-Range Hydramatics! A lot of bells were cast iron back then too though. I know Rambler (AMC) used an aluminum bell with the cast iron Borg-Warner M-8 (Flashomatic) with cast iron case, don't know about the mid 50s D-R-H trans.
The main reason for four mounting points was so that there was nothing under the engine that couldn't be easily removed. Oil filters were optional until the early 60s on most engines, and many had no factory option at all until after WWII. Non-detergent oils were used that didn't keep trash suspended in the oil. The oil pan was supposed to come off and be cleaned once every year or two. Trash would settle in the bottom of the pan when the ND oil stopped circulating and cooled off. Detergents in oil keep particles suspended so the filter can catch them. Even partial flow systems worked well. The old Rambler 196 (OHV and L-head) used a partial flow system. I've rebuilt several -- none showed any more wear than full-flow filter system engines.
Hmmm.... that would have been a good question, but I've already typed up the answer -- not deleting now!!

backsplash 1/2 laminate 1/2 bare wall
So, I am going to tile my backsplash with subway tile. I have read, read and read the discussions but still need help with 1 problem. Above the counters the builder glued laminate to the wall! but behind the sink he left it bare. So, if laminate on the left; bare wall; laminate to the right. Any ideas on how I can get this level with out ripping out the laminate and sanding??? Help! Ready to tile after I finish painting the cabinets; which by the way are looking awesome. White laminate finish; using zinser to "sand" and it's working beautifully. Painting a light charcoal. White subway tile backsplash and stainless appliances will finish it off.......Anyhow, any suggestions or directions? Thanks!
How big is the offset? A tradtional backsplash is 3/4" plus the laminate. Evening that off might mean filling in the recessed area.
Removing the backsplash might be the way to go depending on how it's attached to the counter and wall. Cheap installations just have the backsplash glued to the wall and maybe caulked to the counter. Others are nailed or screwed.
Look under the counter in the sink area to see if you can discern how it's attached.
backsplash laminate bare wall
Thank you Ron. The part that is laminate is glued down very well!! My worry is that when I take it off to level with the other bare wall is that I am going to take some of the wall underneath it with me! So, I'm thinking perhaps of just filling in the bare wall space with laminate so that it becomes a level playing field. Thoughts?
It would really help if you answer the question I asked. Solutions are based on the existing situation. Which you haven't told us yet.
Is the laminate glued directly to the wall or a substrate other then the wall.
Tiling directly to a smooth surface like laminate wouldn't be my choice.
How thick is your laminate?

The Penguins seem easy to play against.
At forward, the Pens lack grit. Beyond Chris Kunitz, Craig Adams and Tanner Glass, who else gets greasy? Sidney Crosby has exceptional grit for a star, but it's hardly a specialty. Pascal Dupuis and Joe Vitale are mostly about speed. Brandon Sutter doesn't have sufficient physical strength.
That's not enough grit. Certainly not enough to win a playoff series against a team like Boston.
The Penguins seem easy to coach against, too.
The opposition gets every matchup. Crosby lugs Zdeno Chara around all night, or Dion Phaneuf, or St. Louis' first line, or whoever. Crosby can do it. It would be better if he didn't have to. He would be even more productive if he didn't have to.
Penguins Coach Dan Bylsma doesn't believe in matchups. He needs to. It has to be in a coach's repertoire. The best coaches in history have sought favorable matchups. Bylsma is an excellent coach, but he doesn't get to reinvent the job description.
The Penguins seem like a good regular-season team, no better. Intensity comes and goes. It's a vanilla team. It's a vanilla dressing room. No tension. Too much fun, not enough work.
Sometimes a get-along gang needs somebody blunt to act as catalyst. Bill Guerin did that. Jarome Iginla didn't.

Broncs to play at Northern Iowa in CIT
Broncs vs. Northern Iowa in CIT
Will Play 7pm Tuesday
LAWRENCEVILLE-The Rider University men's basketball team will play the University of Northern Iowa Tuesday in Cedar Falls, Iowa in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT).
This is Rider's third postseason tournament in the last four year.
"We are excited to have an opportunity to continue playing," said Rider head coach Tommy Dempsey.
UNI (19-13) is a member of the Missouri Valley Conference. UNI has lost its last four games, the final three games of the regular season and lost by three points to Creighton in the MVC tournament. The Panthers are 12-4 at home, where they average 4,908 fans per game and are 9-5 in non-conference games. UNI is led by All-District selection Kwadzo Ahelegbe, a senior point guard who averages 14.0 points per game and earned First Team All-MVC honors. In his career he is one of only three UNI players who have compiled 1,000 points, 300 rebounds and 300 assists.
The Panthers were a program-best 30-5 in 2010, finishing first in the MVC (15-3) and lost to Michigan State in the Sweet 16 of the 2010 NCAA tournament, UNI's first Sweet 16 appearance. UNI has played in five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments.
Rider (23-10) has won six of its last seven games, eight of the last 10 and 17 of the last 22 contests, reaching the semifinals of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championship tournament for the fourth straight year.
"The reward for a great season is getting a chance to play in the post season," Dempsey said. "Our goal was to win the MAAC tournament and represent our conference in the NCAA tournament but we came up short. The CIT now gives us an opportunity to continue to grow as a basketball team against a great field and we are thankful that we are still playing at this time of year."
The Broncs are 11-4 in away games, the third best away record in Division 1 and are 14-5 on the road, which includes a 3-1 record on neutral court.
This is the third annual CIT. Rider competed in the first, against Liberty in 2009. That tournament featured the longest game-ending shot in Division I history, when a 75-footer at the buzzer put Bradley in the semifinals. Last year Fairfield trailed by 27 points with 16 minutes left and defeated George Mason, the largest comeback in Division I postseason history.
Rider has been led by seniors Justin Robinson and Mike Ringgold, who have compiled 82 career wins at Rider, a program record. A First Team All-District 1 and First Team All-MAAC selection, Robinson has started 123 career games at the Rider point and during the summer is a member of Team GB, the Great Britain National Team.
Ringgold was a Third Team All-MAAC selection as a forward, and has compiled 1,382 points (14th most ever at Rider) and 786 rebounds (fifth most ever at Rider.) This year Ringgold is averaging 12.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
Robinson leads Rider with 15.3 points per game and ranks seventh in the nation in free throw percentage and 15th in three-point field goal percentage. Robinson is 11th in career scoring (1,468) and seventh in career assists (391) at Rider.
