The markets should soon find support on their current selloff, but this will only be temporary. Europe's debt problems, which are at the epicenter of the current financial crisis, are not going to go away, they are only going to get worse until some realistic solution is found.
Stocks in Europe have been selling off for days and so have the euro and gold and silver. Only on Thursday did the U.S. markets start to drop significantly. Gold (NYSE:GLD) and silver (NYSE:SLV) managed to rally off deeply oversold conditions after reaching chart support around their lows from late last year. Even the euro (NYSE:FXE) was trying to rally after getting close to its low from January. The major U.S. market indices are all approaching their 200-day moving averages (the Russell 2000 has already reached it). Some bounce should be expected at or just above those levels. Any upward movement should be considered to be a just a relief rally for now.
Once again the debt crisis in Europe (NYSE:EZU) has reared its ugly head. Greece (NYSE:GREK) is going to have new elections in June and an anti-bailout party is expected to win. Its credit rating was downgraded to CCC by Fitch on Thursday. An exit from the euro is now being seriously discussed in the halls of European power. At the same time, interest rates are rising in Spain and Italy to the levels where the Greek problem initially began.
Spanish 10-year government yields were as high as 6.38% this morning. The same Italian (NYSE:EWI) interest rates had reached just above 6.00% yesterday. Italy's rates were over 7.00% from last November to early January and Spain's were close to that level in November. The ECB then began a massive effort funded with money printing to drive them back down. It worked for a while, but as soon as the printing presses are paused, the market takes right back over.
The more serious problem is with the European banking system (NYSE:EUFN) itself. Moody's downgraded 16 Spanish banks Thursday night and Spain had to partially nationalize Bankia last week. There was a run on Bankia Thursday and massive amounts of funds have been withdrawn from the entire Greek banking system. Contagion spreading to the major banks in the rest of the EU is a real danger. The LTRO (Long-Term Refinancing Operation) programs of the ECB have encouraged them to load up on the government debt of the failing peripheral countries. Many of the banks that did so were barely solvent as is.
More bailout programs from the central banks should be expected, but they aren't likely to work either. The real problems are with the non-functional economies. Spain (NYSE:EWP) is still building empty houses that no one buys and the Spanish banks are funding this activity. Adding more debt to the problem is only going to make matters worse. Printing money to pay for that debt takes the problem to an even higher level. It all has to give at some point and it looks like the new few months will be one of crisis.

An opportunistic infection is an infectious disorder caused by pathogens that usually do not cause disease in a healthy immune system. A compromised immune system, however, presents an "opportunity" for the pathogen to infect.
Evidence for the link betweeen opportunistic infections and psychological factorsEdit
Possible explainations of this linkEdit
A link between psychological factors and such infections may occur in a number of waysways:
- Immunodeficiency or immunosuppression can be caused by physical and psychological stress see psychoneuroimmunology
- The increased rate of infection may be seen to be linked to psychological conditions which are related to a common Genetic predisposition.
Other causesEdit
- Malnutrition
- Recurrent infections
- Immunosuppressing agents for organ transplant recipients
- Chemotherapy for cancer
- AIDS or HIV-infection
- Skin damage
- Antibiotic treatment
- Medical procedures
- Pregnancy
Types of infectionsEdit
These infections include:
- Pneumocystis jirovecii, previously known as Pneumocystis carinii f. hominis
- Candida albicans
- Staphylococcus aureus
- Streptococcus pyogenes
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Polyomavirus JC polyomavirus, the virus that causes Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.
- Acinetobacter baumanni
- Toxoplasma gondii
- Cytomegalovirus
- Aspergillus sp.
- Kaposi's Sarcoma
Treatment depends on the type of opportunistic infection, but usually involves different antibiotics.

High flying charity event for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research...

The weather service proved reliable come Monday morning as threatening overnight showers dissipated to reveal a gorgeous day; a day perfect for... hoverboarding? Yes, hoverboarding. In 1989, boyhood dreams of owning a jetpack became dreams of being able to hoverboard ever since Back to the Future Part II hit theaters. On Monday, November 8, 2010, the fine folks at www.weregoingback.com made that dream a reality for many, many fans. Not only were they able to try their hand (or foot) at hoverboarding with the skilled stunt team behind the film, they were also able to recreate the zip-line moment in the first film (and technically the second and third as well) where Doc Brown (played by Christopher Lloyd) zips down from the top of the Clock Tower.
There were a few other surprises in the super secret location in Topanga, CA as two of Griff's original gang members Spike (Darlene Vogel) and Data (Ricky Logan) come to support the event and meet with fans signing autographs. Stunt members Gary Morgan and Richie Gaona were also on hand to lend their talents to the fun filled day.
We spoke to Ken Kapalowski of weregoingback.com at the event to learn a little behind-the-scenes of how this, and the rest of the week, all came together.
Figures.com: Ken, this is an amazing week of events. Tell me, how much of your life has this taken up to coordinate and plan all of this?
Figures.com: And to have something every single day is pretty incredible.Ken: I did the location tours myself maybe six or seven years ago and I thought, "how awesome would it be for everyone else to do this." And then we had the excuse that was the 25th anniversary and I said, "what the heck, let's get everybody out here to share in the experience." It's been a good two years of planning.
Ken: It's a pretty crazy thing to plan out that's for sure. If we do anything for 2015, it'll probably be a one-day event just to keep my sanity. [laughs]
Figures.com: How has the turnout been so far?
Figures.com: And some of the proceeds go to Team Fox...Ken: You know, for the days that I want it to be quiet it's been quiet. For the days I wanted it to be busy it's been busy. At the [Puente Hills] mall we've had over 1,000 people show up and here today it's been nice and quiet, keep things calm. We're having about 50-60 people here today [for hoverboarding]. We're real limited to how many people we can fit into some of these venues so it explains two things: why the tickets prices are so high? Because it's such limited space. And also the idea that we can get the real-deal hard-core fans - we've got people from Argentina, Taiwan, U.K, Australia, all over the world.
Ken: ALL of the proceeds that we raise are going to Team Fox, that's the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. We're accomplishing two things. There's Team Fox, which is the grassroots initiative that is small events like this where we raise some money. Then there is the Michael J. Fox Foundation where they raise the big, big money for the grants for the research and everything. Every which way, we're raising a little money but most importantly we're raising awareness and getting the Team Fox name out there. Michael J. Fox hasn't come to any of our events unfortunately but he's aware of them, he knows about them, sends his wishes and he's very thankful that all the fans are so appreciative and still loving the movies after all these years.
Figures.com: It really is a great thing what you're all doing. While someone may say that it may seem steep, it's all for a charitable cause. But getting back to hoverboarding since that's what we're doing right now, how hard was it to get the original stunt team together for this?
Figures.com: This IS really cool because everyone dreamed of doing something like this since the film.Ken: You know, once I got one of them on board, they all kind of came together because they're like a family. They wanted to come out and participate. It's such a cool thing and they've had a lot of fond memories, short of having metal rods rammed up their butts to get them into the harnesses. They're all happy to be here.
Figures.com: And five years early too!Ken: Yeah, we're all here riding hoverboards!
Ken: Exactly, exactly, we beat it to market. We only need a big crane to drive around behind you.
Figures.com: Now, originally there was going to be green screen at this event, correct?
Figures.com: Just like in the film.Ken: We were going to but that ended up not happening because we were at a different venue altogether. That venue didn't allow us the freedom to allow us to actually move around in an open area. It was literally hanging in front of a green screen and swinging. So you know what? That stinks. I would much rather hoverboard and fly around IN a wide-open area than be stuck in front of a green screen. So movie magic versus real life? Hey, we're riding real life.
Ken: Exactly. And unfortunately Universal wouldn't let us do this in the back lot to ride around Hill Valley.
Figures.com: And of course the schedule is available for all to see on weregoingback.com but tell us a few things you're really excited about coming up.
Figures.com: Well, that sounds fantastic, thanks for talking with us!Ken: Coming up, we have the Petersen Museum to see one of the only three gold DeLoreans in the entire world. They're bringing that out of storage for us while doing a little school session with Kevin Pike and Michael Sheffe, these are the guys we call them the "fathers of the DeLorean". Kevin Pike was the one who built the time machine physically that we see today and Michael Sheffe is the wonderful artist who created all the concept drawings for a lot of the "future" cars in Back to the Future Part II.
Wednesday we're going to Universal Studios Hollywood to focus on a lot of the original Back to the Future assets.
Thursday we're out in Whittier for the Hill Valley High School. We're going to have a scene recreation in the hallway. And the school will actually be out that day for Veterans Day so it'll be just us in the school. We are going to be having a Q&A with Bob Gale so it'll be really cool for fans to ask nitty gritty questions about Back to the Future.
And Friday of course is the big Enchantment Under the Sea dance at the United Methodist Church in Hollywood. We have a live band; we have the Marvin Berry singing Earth Angel for all of us. We've got a few surprises throughout the night so it's going to be good.
Ken: Thank you, David.
You can still get tickets for some of the remaining events this week but act quick as tickets are going fast: www.weregoingback.com. Or you can donate directly to Team Fox via www.teamfox.org.

i have a website that content have not good quality then can i remove the content and change from new fresh content. It would be beneficial for me in the future.
of course you can change your website contents anytime by adding unique article on it. for blog post 300+ words and for static page 500+ words working best.
If the content isn't good then get rid of it and put something better up there! There's no advantage to leaving bad content on your website if you can improve it. What you should try to avoid doing is constantly changing things for the sake of it. Sure, sometimes the nature of your content might mean that it's only relevant for a short time and so you need to be updating it all the time, and that's fine because that's what your site needs. But if there's no reason to keep changing it other than poor planning or being indecisive, then it's not such a good plan. Better to spend a bit of time working out what you want on there and get it right in one go than to be going back and fiddling around all the time.
Note – I'm not saying you shouldn't edit your pages or correct mistakes! If you see a typo or there are little tweaks you want to make, that's fine. Any time you see something like that, fix it. What I'm talking about is making bigger changes, particularly changing entire pages – doing that is likely to confuse Googlebot about what you've got on your site and where it is, and if it keeps going to pages and finding the content it expects isn't there, it's likely to lose interest very quickly.

yes, you should update your blog frequently so that it keeps you getting more readers and also search engines come to know that you are running your blog and updating it. This will also help you in SERPs for your posts.
You know that you have content that is "bad" - and yet seek our answers? what is your criteria of a content piece being "bad" ?
Anyways - yes need to update your content frequently - but hey don't make it a "thesis" paper - make it short, cover every point (bullet points) and please include some steps and pics as well.
if it is bad, take it off and change it with a better content. also, if you already have good content, you don't really have to change everything and make a whole new content, you can just update a few parts. as long as you keep on updating, Google will like it.
@Stevie , I love your idea . Thanks a lot
You can change content of your website and according Google panda algorithm we should change your website content in every 6 month period......
You've said that before, but it doesn't make sense. For a start, Google doesn't have arbitrary rules like that, because they would be far too easy for people to play the system and get round them. For a second, there's no reason to change your content if it's still current and correct – there's no need to change things for the sake of it, especially not as frequently as every six months.
I think it's better that you put up good contents! Write and keep on posting on a regular basis. It would help your blog in the long run. I wouldn't mind deleting those poorly written articles if I were you. Good content is what we all want, aren't we?
yes you are write but some time many spammer copy your web content and its also harmful for your website if you refresh your content its effect to increase crawling rate of your website. so update your content
If you are selling a product and you think that your content or copy is not good, then you should certainly make changes and see what works and increases your conversions. Once you realize that your copy is good (in terms of conversion), then you don't have to make changes to it anymore.
Regarding frequently updating your content, it's a good practice to add new content by writing informative and original blog posts. This will increase the credibility of your website.
I'd say that instead trying to revamp the website content quite often, why don't we update the website with some blog stuffs in-built. It'd rather be a better option by posting new articles (of course, high quality and unique too) to the site and that, it pushes up the readers to spend their minutes in the recent updates.
Exactly! The quality of the content is paramount. And by "quality" I do not mean how well it is written, but how well it leads visitors to do what you want them to do, whether that is to subscribe or to learn or to buy or to move on to another page.
I would personally get back to the 'bad' articles and edit them with some good content instead. It would mean less 'dead' links and the articles can then be promoted easily. Sure, if the content is really bad, replace with it something decent. As far as the 'change the content every 6 months', I think you're kidding. It would mean that most bloggers would need to replace thousands of articles each month. Now that would be a pain
Content is King!! According to google panda updates high quality and unique content helps in getting more traffic to the website as well as very effective for keywords ranking. You can write or update content anytime for better results. Also quality content is helpful for social engagement and credibility of your website.
Change is inevitable and you must constantly change. Adapting by adding new content and something refreshing is what keeps the traffic flowing. I wouldn't go back to a site that didn't bring anything every few days!
That depends what it is. If it's a static reference site, it doesn't need to be updated unless there is new material to add. The Sitepoint HTML and CSS Reference pages, for example, don't generally change from one month to the next, one year to the next even, but they are (mostly) just as relevant and accurate as they ever were.
Of course, you can change your whole site content in a day but first check where is the problem. If your content is copied than you have to change all content and if it is having only some grammatical errors and spelling errors than only need to update your data.
You must keep updating the content of your website at regular intervals. This is important for your website to get crawled. Usually, you must add new content every week.

The Lake Geneva Jaycees Club was founded in 1962. We are the young persons group of choice in the Geneva Lakes area!! We are a constructive action organization of young persons who devote a portion of their time to community service in the public interest developing young persons as leaders in their communities.
About the Jaycees
About the Jaycees The United States Junior Chamber (Jaycees) gives young people between the ages of 18 and 40 the tools they need to build the bridges of success for themselves in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. The U.S. Junior Chamber is a non-profit corporation/organization as described under IRS code 501
Established in 1920 to provide opportunities for young men to develop personal and leadership skills through service to others, the Jaycees later expanded to include women, reflecting the growing influence and leadership of women in America.
For the past 86 years, Jaycees have been a force for good in America and around the world. Jaycees helped establish AirMail services in America with Jaycee Charles Lindbergh, and have raised millions of dollars for causes such as the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the March of Dimes. They have built parks, playgrounds, hospitals, ball fields, and housing for the elderly while conducting service and support programs in thousands of communities nationwide.
Jaycees can be found in all walks of life: governmental leaders such as past Presidents Bill Clinton and Gerald Ford, business tycoons such as Domino's Pizza mogul Tom Monaghan, registered nurse and former Miss America Kaye Lani Rae Rafko-Wilson, sports heroes like basketball great Larry Bird - name the field and Jaycees can be found at the forefront.
With the focus of the nation on volunteerism, from the smallest towns to the largest cities, the Jaycees are enlarging areas of opportunity for young people.

Sounds like you need more experience with Linux. When backtrack loads from the live-image, you are automatically logged in!
Stumbled across the version of linux tonight and im excited to check it out. But im having some issues, I had the .iso put onto my usb drive everything worked fine booted etc then I selected the Live option so I could check it out without installing to the HDD. It goes through and then gives me a PCI:BIOS Bug #b1[00000031] found. It still continues to load after it displays that I get to the command area and try typing in root hit enter says root program isnt installed type such and such command to install it. So I then type login hit enter. Then it asks for the login so I type root and then for the password toor says its incorrect tried that multiple times. After that I type startx something happens loads to a white screen and I hear some kind of startup sound and it just sits at the white screen. What am I doing wrong so I can get this running? Ive also just now tried burning the iso to dvd does the same thing. Thanks.
Sounds like you need more experience with Linux. When backtrack loads from the live-image, you are automatically logged in!
I definately need more experience with linux and im working on that as we speak. What about startx typing that brings up the white screen, with the startup sounds being played but it doesent go anywere it just stays on the white screen and doesent progress. Can anyone shed some light on that for me.

Please do not ask me to search forums. I have serched these fourms and the internet for over 2 weeks now. I basically found nothing that pertains to "how to make BT4" recognize your wirless network adapter. I am new to Linux, but am learning fast. As you notice the chipset is (bcm43xx) as it is refered to all over the internet.
(4 days later)....
Can anyone help me and tell me what I need to do to get this Network adapter to work? And doesn't BackTrack 4 beta have the necessary drivers pre installed already?
I'm booting from the Backtrack 4-beta DVD I burned. Any help and tips will be greatly appreciated.
7 months later.....
Just wondering if there has been any changes to "BackTrack 4" & the supported wireless USB Adapter Network Cards? I'm still waiting for an answer on my post here. I did notice however I posted it in the "working" when I should have posted it in the "not working" sections.
It should'nt be to hard to get the Dynex USB Adapter to work cause it is using a chipset of :
891221 01
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Broadcom are generally not very well supported.
But that in and of itself is not the end all be all.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
My LapTop has a broadcom chip and it works perfectly with BT4 beta. Just wondering should I try and start the network u first before I use the StartX ?
MY Dynex Wireless USB adapter is awesome, its drivers are a bit sticky at times, but overall I get a hell of alot better performance and optimized distances than Linksys adapters. This is why I want to use my Dynex. + using my homemade Antenna I have booste my +db levels up by at least +8db.
I can reach my barn accross the pasture alot better.
Is there anything I can do with BT4 to see if it could use or recognize my USB Adapter?

"Calico and Chintz: Early American Quilts from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" features 22 rare pieced and whole-cloth American quilts made before 1850. This exhibition opens at the Speed Art Museum (Louisville, Ky.) on Dec. 16.
These quilts are selected from the collection donated to the museum in 1999 by Patricia Smith Melton, a Washington playwright and quilt historian.
"These spectacular quilts enrich our knowledge of early America, and I am honored to introduce these seldom seen treasures to the nation," said Elizabeth Broun, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
These heirloom quilts, dating from about 1810 to 1850, preserve a notable era in textile and quiltmaking artistry. Before the United States developed a textile industry in the 1840s, colonists and citizens imported quality printed cottons from Britain or France. These fabrics were used by affluent quiltmakers along the Eastern Seaboard and on Southern plantations for the sumptuous bedcovers that were an important decorative element in prosperous homes.
"These rare and beautiful quilts will come as a revelation to all quilt lovers," said Kenneth Trapp, former curator-in-charge of the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Renwick Gallery. "The pre-1850's textiles demonstrate this earlier society's embrace of vivid color, rich pattern and exuberant beauty."
The cotton fabric used in these early American quilts incorporated vegetable and mineral colors—chemical aniline dyes did not arrive until the 1850s—and represented high standards of woodblock, copperplate and roller printing. The term "calico" comes from Calicut, a port on the Malabar Coast of India where European traders in the 17th century bought the colorful cottons that revolutionized Western taste in textiles. "Chintz" is derived from "chints," a phonetic transliteration of the Hindi word meaning variegated. While the terms calico and chintz were used interchangeably to describe colorful cottons, calico properly describes unglazed fabric printed with repeat patterns of small floral or abstract shapes. Chintz refers to fine glazed cotton printed with prominent flowers, birds and other representational motifs. The exhibition also includes fragments of the kinds of imported period textiles used to construct the quilts in the collection.
Some of the quilts in this exhibition are the most intricate and complex of their kind. "Pieced Bedcover (Honeycomb)," about 1825, is composed of template-formed hexagons—each measuring only 5/8 inch—for a total of 442 rosettes of colorful cotton. Others are quite bold and expressionistic including "Pieced Quilt (Nine Patch on Point)," about 1845. This New York quilt would have been appropriate with the interior decor of a middle-class bedroom of the early 1840s.
Made for a child's bed, "Pieced Quilt (Honeycomb)," about 1830, is a rare survivor of a type of pre-hexagon quilt constructed with a broad whole-cloth border of glazed chintz. The realism of the blooms printed on the tea-colored backgrounds of the English chintz border contrasts sharply with the abstracted "flowers" pieced from both block- and roller-printed calicoes spanning the period from 1800 through 1825. In the shape and colors chosen, the quiltmaker creates an exciting rhythmic vitality.
The textile fragment, "English Pillar Print Chintz," about 1825–1835, demonstrates an extremely popular design in the United States. Pillar prints depicted classical columns garlanded with ribbons, birds or wicker fruit baskets. This design was often used on America's highest quality quilts as borders, as long stripes in bar-patterned designs and as tops for whole-cloth bedcovers.
Smith Melton has collected American pre-1850 whole-cloth, pieced and appliquéd bedcovers for more than 20 years. She built the collection with the intent to have them viewed in their entirety as an educational experience and has taught classes on the history of quilts and quilt textiles.
A catalog to accompany "Calico and Chintz: Early American Quilts from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" with an essay by Jeremy Adamson, chief of the Prints and Photographs Division at the Library of Congress, is available.
"Calico and Chintz: Early American Quilts from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" is one of five exhibitions featuring the museum's collections that are touring the nation through 2005. The tour is supported in part by the Smithsonian Special Exhibitions Fund.
More information and full itineraries for each exhibition in the tour "Highlights from the Smithsonian American Art Museum" can be found on the museum's Web site at AmericanArt.si.edu/highlights.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum collection began with gifts of art donated to the federal government in 1829 and has evolved into the world's most important American art holdings with approximately 40,000 artworks in all media spanning more than three centuries.
While the renovation of the museum's historic building continues, American Art offers a full program of exhibitions at its Renwick Gallery (Pennsylvania Avenue at 17th Street N.W.). For information about Renwick Gallery activities, call (202) 357-2700 or visit the museum's award-winning Web site at AmericanArt.si.edu.

Some of you might have known that up until two weeks ago, Darn Good Yarn was not my full time job. Yes, I did work way more than 40 hours a week at the yarn helm but I was also working two other jobs. Unfortunately, I have lists of blog ideas/posts that I've promised to myself and others to post and alas life gave way and I wound up with notebooks and notebooks full of "love letters" to me!
Well, this post (forgive me Erin) was inspired by our own Erin Mapes. You know her! She's one of our very talented featured artists and you should go and visit her etsy store: erinmapes.etsy.com
Instead of me re-telling you the story, read about the touching project Erin did:
I used some of your recycled sari silk in an art project with one of my classes earlier this year (I'm an art teacher here in DC). One of their classmates was shot and killed one weekend, and we wanted to do a project in his memory. So I created a mobile structure out of bent wire hangers that I wrapped in sari silk, and I gave them each a long piece. They had to cut a shape out of stiff paper and write a wish or thought for this boy, Oscar, then attach it to the string and hang it from the mobile. We put it up in the room as a memorial, and it's still hanging there now. I attached a picture of it below. The light's not that great, so it doesn't look like anything spectacular, but the kids really enjoyed making it, and they LOVED the yarn. They thought it was the coolest thing in the world and were all asking to take pieces home with them, lol. So thanks for having such a shiny, colorful yarn to brighten up my students' day. :) ~Erin
And here is a picture. It's fantastic that all of the students could come together and create something so beautiful and touching for such a difficult subject.

Nos help
Hey I was looking to install a bottle of nitrious to my 540i v8 4.4.any body have hints n tips for me
Start shopping for a spare motor now, it will help reduce the down time when it goes pop.
Seriously though, find a experienced installer in your area, who also knows BMWs. It will be hard but will likely come out much cheaper in the long run.
Anyway, a quick search finds this:
Well, I don't know that I'm against nitrous oxide, It's just that nitrous like so many "go fast goodies" is usually way more expensive than most people realize to set up properly on a BMW. The M5 I put a system on totaled up close to $4k before it was complete but it made for a fun ride. To get it where the nitrous was really usable required a full day on the dyno, custom mapping of the fuel enrichment, changing to a racelogic traction control system to interface with the nitrous system, and quite a bit of fabrication for the install.
It is a classic example of an old Hot Rod adage - Speed costs money, how fast does your wallet want to go?
FMU is the closest shop I know of to you that has the type of facility to properly set up and tune a quality nitrous setup on an OBD-II BMW. There might be a shop like them in your state, but if there is I don't know of it. Below is are a few pics of their install on a customers e46 M3, and a link to their site and Wizards of NOS, the european outfit they source their BMW systems from.

If done right it will cost you any where from $500 to $1500 depending on how much HP you want. A 40-50 HP system (1 nozzle) will be a quick and easy install on a 540.
I've been using a dual stage setup on my 540 for the last 8 years, got 133k on her now, same engine and it still runs like the day I drove it off the BMW showroom.
The 1st stage is port injected (125HP), the 2nd stage (50HP) sprays into the intake manifold from both ends for better coverage. I also have a water methanol system to ensure there is no pre-detonation.
I've helped a number of guys put smaller 1 injector systems on their cars.
If your serious about doing this I can email you more info. No remapping of the DME is necessary. I've dynoed my car, the air/fuel mixture was well within limits.
The website for the Wizard of NOS is in England, the owner (Trev) can be a pretty abusive guy especially if you question him on anything.
He calls every NOS manufacture here in the US an idiot.
His parts are the "best" just ask him. Everybody else sells junk.
I've got email from a few of their forum members warning me about his temper and the problems they have with some of his systems.
- How to gain horsepower with a bottle of N20 NOS nitrous oxide (1)
The strategy is to have at least one 'canonical' thread for each topic to refer others to.
Which thread is chosen to be canonical doesn't matter as much as how much information is in that thread, whether directly, or cross linked.
So, I ask others to add insight to this thread or link to others that do have insight - so we can refer others to this thread in the future.
To the OP:
When you add that bottle of N20, please write up the pictorial DIY and keep us informed as to your complete progress ... (that's your payback ... and how you gain respect).

Save ur money and get in on the group buy for vf engineering supercharger system--then the xtra hp will always be there plus drivability
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Bimmer App
ok who sprinkled the crack cocaine in the engine again?
on the strength unless you do it like this forget about it... and even this guy engine on stand by... its my old say nothing new comes from nos
blow it, boost it, don't juice it
you will be parting your car out b4 your even done hitting that first button
you wanna have fun with juice... build a cREX, 87 honda crx gutted with a cz swap.. 100 shot all day and night... fun as hell and when we blew it up it only cost 400 bucks for a new motor thing was so fukin fun.. we would blast nos off the line, around corners and just to pass people... and the car was gutted.. two seats a cluster a steering wheel.. and a HUGE nos bottle stapped to the center rear of the car where the spare should have been
killed it finally with a 200 shot... she ejected a piston

On standby??? I don't think so. I've had it on this engine for the last 8 years.
200HP on a Civic, bet it would have had a better chance of surviving if you had a progressive controller.
Bluebee, you wanted more info.
I've been using Nitrous since 1990 and haven't had any problems.
The key is not to abuse it with too much boost for the size engine you have.
Summit Racing sells them. I got an NOS kit for my 300ZX back in 1990 and when I sold the Z I kept the NOS for my 540.
A turbo or supercharger will cost you big bucks to buy and install, and will decrease your mileage because it is always available and you will use it more than you think.
When you sell the car your supercharged/turbo is gone, your need to start all over. NOS can be moved from car to car.
I went the N2O route because it was less than 1/10 the price of the other methods and much easier to install.
I don't use it that much in the 540 because it has adequate HP without it, but the more HP the better has always been my motto!
The only down side is you have to get the bottle refilled when it runs out. In MA it costs ~$50 to refill a 10 lb tank. There are 15 and 20lb tanks that come with some kits now. I bought a 20Lb tank.
There are wet and dry kits. Wet injects gas and nitrous into the intake. A dry kit uses just nitrous and fools the injectors into dumping more gas into the cylinders to keep the air/fuel ratio within reason.
I prefer the wet kit, as you don't need to tap into the computer or fool the fuel pressure regulator to get the injectors to spray more fuel. With the wet system its easy to change either jet to get the ratio correct.
The extra power comes from the extra gas that get delivered into the engine, the nitrous is just there to supply O2 to burn the extra fuel and to cool down the intake charge.
You only use nitrous when the gas pedal is floored. For a 528/530, a 40HP boost is real safe. My 300ZX had a 3-liter V-6 and I was using a 60HP boost. (After 180K miles on this engine I took it apart to add ISKY cams, head and intake porting and polishing, etc. I miked all the bearings, rings, journals, etc. and all were still in spec, granted on the low side of in spec, but still OK. The engine still didnt burn oil).
The fogger nozzle has small jets that you can change to vary the HP level, a 2-minute job.
If youre looking for bigger boosts a 2-stage method is advisable, as you will limit the sudden jolt of power to a smoother transition, which is much better for the drivetrain. I have my initial boost set at 50HP which then ramps up to 125HP in 1.5 second. Then if I have the second stage enabled another 50HP comes on, for a total of 175HP.
Another thing to know is that the bottle needs to be warm to keep the pressure up. In the winter it is just too cold for even a full bottle to deliver adequate pressure, so you may need to get a 12V bottle heater (~$120) if you want to use in the winter. I don't drive my car in the winter so that isn't an issue, but I added a heater for those cold spring and fall days. If the pressure is down you won't get all the HP you would with a warm bottle, not enough O2 to burn the extra fuel. ZEX has a kit that touts a nozzle design that says it delivers the correct fuel for any bottle pressure, and they say that they control the fuel delivery by measuring the N2O bottle pressure. All of the different manufactures use a similar nozzle design. ZEX does have a nice kit, they are just marketing it to a different crowd than NOS. ZEX is big with the import crowd and has packaged their product better than NOS. ZEX has the solenoids in a box, you dont see most of the plumbing.
One last comment, nitrous doesnt like advanced timing, as most chips and software downloads do as part of the program to get more HP. As a general rule the timing should be retarded 1° for every 75HP boost. I was running the stock DME software and have no problems with a 100HP boost. When I went to the 175HP level I added water/methanol injection and used NGK iridium plugs (1 range colder) to prevent pre-detonation.
I dont know what the degrees of advance are on the various stages of software upgrades, but BMW engines do have knock sensors on them to retard the timing if pinging is detected. I always 93 octane fuel and have no issues. 92 Octane is recommended. Im now up to 175 HP boost using an NOS Progressive controller. I also have Dinan engine software, no pinging has been detected.
200 lol try 400, as i said we blew it up on purpose..
but respect to you for juice a 5, sick

I don't know, Nitrous just seems like a low grade way to produce power. Go turbo or blower. I think of boy racer, import garbage when I think of Nitrous. Maybe I can't get over Vin Diesel yelling 'NOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS' in F and F.

For those looking at my figures vs. Jim's remember to keep in mind that labor (if you can't install all the parts yourself) adds up quick @$95 an hour My customer with the M5 was running alpha-N and velocity stacks already(and is a performance nut with a large budget) so his install was rather complex compared to the more typical system JimLev is running
Bimmerteck, the NOS guys have always been great for me too when I had questions. I should have added that I installed my system which did save a ton of money.
Originally I had a one injector setup, but then it became a 2 inj setup, then added the progressive controller, then the M5 LSD to get all the power to the ground.....it just kept snowballing to what I now have. This is it, I want it to stay together.
I got the idea from a Gene Fulton article I saw in Hot Rod magazine a few years ago, he had 5 stages of juice and a much bigger motor. I spoke with him to get a few pointers.
If your into "over the top" power it's an interesting article.
Did I mention that it's addictive.
I got tired of going to the speed shop for a refill so I got my own setup.
That's not acetylene in the tank, it's just part of the supply companies name.

By Gary Cutrer
August 2009
Scotsman James Weddell homesteaded a ranch on the North Concho River in 1885. Today Weddell's great grandson, Lee Weddell Puckitt, and family still ranch that same land near Water Valley, Texas, north of San Angelo. Lee is tall and lanky with a mild but determined manner, and could pass for a Scotsman but for his Texas-accented speech. He is the newly elected president of the Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers Association. Lee's cell phone ringtone is a bleating sheep.
Lee and his wife, the former Sandy Pickens of Houston, raise sheep, goats and cattle and have raised two boys, now grown men. Their sons—Lane, 26, and Casey, 25—are both Texas Tech graduates like dad and mom. Lane works with Lee at the family ranch and at Lee's ranch brokerage and appraisal business. When not doing this, he enjoys cooking great dinners with his girlfriend, Marcie Cummings of San Angelo. Casey is employed by Ackley Financial Group in Addison, Texas, as a personal finance representative. Casey is engaged and soon to be married to Berkeley Sides of Lubbock. "We're excited," Lee said about the upcoming September wedding.
Sandy and Lee met in 1977 while attending Texas Tech in Lubbock. Lee was the Masked Rider for the Texas Tech Red Raiders his senior year in 1978. What does it take to be picked to be the Masked Rider? Lee said it was merely a matter of being nominated and elected. Sandy said it took a certain amount of "B.S." to get the post.
Tech's Masked Rider mascot has led the football team onto the field at nearly every Red Raider game since the 1954 Gator Bowl. It was the nation's first school mascot featuring a live horse. The Masked Rider wears black with a black mask, has a bright scarlet cape and always rides a black horse. Team colors are red and black.
At Tech, both Lee and Sandy majored in business, Lee with a minor in animal science.
Sandy grew up in Odessa and Houston. Her father was in the oil field supply industry and later in the investment brokerage business.
Lee said it's important to be diversified—to have diversified income. In addition to his ranching operation and some commercial property that Sandy keeps tabs on, Lee is in partnership with Martin Lee and Tom Lee in a ranch appraisal and brokerage company in San Angelo—Lee, Lee and Puckitt. The company does ranch appraisals and can advise both buyers and sellers as to the fair market or potential value of a property. However, brokerage of large ranches in the western half of Texas is their specialty and primary focus.
Lee and Sandy love to travel and about 10 years ago decided to go to Scotland to see the home country of family patriarch James Weddell. They were pleased and surprised to find not only his hometown, near Edinburgh, but a family memorial in the village cemetery.
When he emigrated to the United States in 1884, James Weddell made his way to Texas and lived in a dugout shelter on the banks of Dry Creek near present day Water Valley, Lee said. He filed his homestead claim in 1885 and in the 1890s traveled to Christoval to purchase some ewes from sheepman Will Jones. Weddell ended up marrying Jones' daughter, Sadie.
James and Sadie Weddell's oldest son, George, Lee's grandfather, was born in 1899. He grew up on the ranch and became a well known sheepman. George married Irene Baker. "My grandmother was a great cook and a real hard working lady," Lee said.
George and Irene had two daughters, Lee's mother, Sadie, and aunt, Alice. Both girls grew up living and working on the ranch. Sadie married L.W. Puckitt of Menard. Alice married George Sisco from Nacodoches. After serving in World War II, Lee's father, L.W., opened Hicks and Puckitt Hardware store on Chadbourne Street in San Angelo about 1950. When the drouth wore on into the 1950s L.W. started Hicks and Puckitt Water Well Service and drilled wells "literally all over West Texas," Lee said. Hicks and Puckitt Water Well Service drilled wells to provide water for construction of Interstate 10 as well as Amistad Dam near Del Rio.
Lee's sister Sherry and brother-in-law Dan Cauthorn ranch south of Sonora, Texas. His sister Juanita is married to Steve Baker. They are primarily in the home building business in San Angelo.
Sadly, Lee's mother and father recently passed away—his mother in 2007, and father in 2008.
Growing up, Lee enjoyed "the best of both worlds," Sandy said. His parents lived in San Angelo, so they were the "town" family. He also spent a lot of time with his second, "ranch" family, Aunt Alice and Uncle George Sisco at the Water Valley ranch, where Lee and his family have ranch operations now.
Faith and family are important to Lee Puckitt. He is usually the person asked to give the opening prayer at TSGRA meetings. He said he figures it's because he's able to speak, or pray, in public without embarrassment. "I'm very comfortable in being in front of a crowd," he said.
Lee is an accomplished singer and performs at his church, First Presbyterian Church in San Angelo, as part of the "praise team" – a singing group and band that leads the music in contemporary church services. He also is frequently asked to sing at weddings and funerals.
Lee said during his term as president of TSGRA he will continue efforts to secure funding for predator control, as that is a very pertinent issue to the survival of the sheep and goat ranchers. On his own flock of Rambouillets and Suffolk crosses, Lee lost 40 to 50 lambs this year due to predators.
"If we don't have ranchers staying in business and have Wildlife Services helping to keep coyote numbers down, the next thing on coyote's list is deer. I've seen that happen too many times farther west of here – when they don't have sheep to kill they're going to start killing deer."
He said he was encouraged that the membership numbers of the TSGRA are on the upswing and would keep efforts to add new members going.
Other topics Lee said are important to TSGRA and ranching in general include the recent attempt by Congress to rewrite the Clean Water Act to give the Environmental Protection Agency jurisdiction over all bodies of water in the country, not just "navigable" rivers and streams, as is the current law's language.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, recently visited San Angelo to hear concerns about this legislation. Farmers, ranchers, hunting and wildlife association representatives and landowners of all types came to meet with Cornyn. Their message for him to take back to Washington was unanimous—change the language in the bill so that private property rights are not further eroded.
In addition to his duties as a TSGRA officer, Lee currently is the board chairman of Fort Concho in San Angelo.
"Western heritage is very important to keep alive here in Texas," he said. He also serves on the Board of Directors of Crockett National Bank of Ozona, San Angelo and Weatherford.

The most important thing you'll read about Missouri Representative Todd Akin is this Tweet:
And this analysis, by Nate Silver.
Akin doesn't have the luxury to wait and see if polls will put him behind, forcing him to quit. The date for pulling out is late tomorrow afternoon. Though he says he has no intention of doing that. Crossroads GPS is pulling out of Missouri, and the Susan B. Anthony's List group first backed, and now has abandoned him. It appears as if the NRSC is going to do the same thing. If Akin stays in and loses, this could be the seat that keeps the Senate for the Democratic Party.
Less important things you'll read: this kind of behavior and controversy isn't exactly new behavior for the Republican Party:
Lawmaker Says Rape Can't Cause Pregnancy (1995):
Women do not get pregnant when raped because "the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work" during an attack, a state lawmaker said yesterday.
Republican Representative Henry Aldridge made the remarks to the House Appropriations Committee as it debated a proposal to eliminate a state abortion fund for poor women.
"The facts show that people who are raped -- who are truly raped -- the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work and they don't get pregnant," said Aldridge, a 71-year-old periodontist. "Medical authorities agree that this is a rarity, if ever."
Aldridge's comments outraged women's advocates and some legislators from both parties.
"It's really common for rape victims to be blamed for being raped," said Margaret Henderson, president of the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
Nor is it new for Todd Akin:
Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal, and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God....
Akin believes that Medicare is unconstitutional, denies climate change, has called President Obama a "flaming socialist", and of course wants founding member and host nation, America, to withdraw from the United Nations. (To illustrate how plainly stupid and self-destructive these kinds of policies are, withdrawing from the U.N. would virtually guarantee a flood of condemnations, and even sanctions, against Israel. Once the United States is no longer there to veto them as a permanent member of the Security Council, the global consensus that Israel's blockade of Gaza violates international law, and Israel's refusal to allow IAEA inspectors into its nuclear facilities, would almost certainly result in a diplomatic nightmare for a country that Akin surely favors.)
Joe Scarborough notes that the Republican Party has been courting this kind of controversy by purging (and demonizing, really) moderates, and embracing the most conservative candidates they can find. The results in most of the country are nationally unelectable candidates.
Newsweek's cover is a photo of Barack Obama, and the words "HIT THE ROAD, BARACK - Why We Need a New President", a story written by Niall Ferguson. Not exactly the kind of content you'd expect from Newsweek. And it looks like Newsweek's new owner's rush to transform the magazine into HuffingtonPost/Drudge/Politico-style sensationalist, inflammatory garbage (attention whoring as a business model) has had predictable results:
There are multiple errors and misrepresentations in Niall Ferguson's cover story in Newsweek — I guess they don't do fact-checking — but this is the one that jumped out at me. Ferguson says:
The president pledged that health-care reform would not add a cent to the deficit. But the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation now estimate that the insurance-coverage provisions of the ACA will have a net cost of close to $1.2 trillion over the 2012–22 period.
Readers are no doubt meant to interpret this as saying that CBO found that the Act will increase the deficit. But anyone who actually read, or even skimmed, the CBO report (pdf) knows that it found that the ACA would reduce, not increase, the deficit — because the insurance subsidies were fully paid for.
Now, people on the right like to argue that the CBO was wrong. But that's not the argument Ferguson is making — he is deliberately misleading readers, conveying the impression that the CBO had actually rejected Obama's claim that health reform is deficit-neutral, when in fact the opposite is true.
I'm a big supporter of the mainstream emergence of opinion journalism, so long as it's clearly and appropriately segregated from hard news (and so long as people understand that reporting that one side is lying and the other is not, is not opinion journalism or "taking sides".) But allowing people to freely express their opinion is not the same thing as allowing people to freely lie their asses off. "HIT THE ROAD, BARACK", isn't a good argument that America needs a new President. It is, however, a pretty good argument that Newsweek needs editors.
Christine O'Donnell -- probably still not a witch -- was challenged by Soledad O'Brien today, about the right's misuse of the words socialist and Marxist when used to attack liberals and Democrats. I won't go into how absurd that is, because I think we all already understand. But I do think it's worth noting that this abuse of once meaningful and inflammatory terms is increasingly common. The American government and media have taken to calling any non-military attacks they disapprove of, terrorism, while refusing to use that label for any attacks they do approve of (or carry out themselves.) The same thing has happened with accusations of anti-Semitism, which increasingly means "anyone who opposes the policies or actions of the Israeli government, generally".
The biggest problem with the abuse of these terms is that it makes rational discourse impossible, and robs them of their true meaning in situations where they actually are appropriate. Too often, people use them as generic substitutes for "bad in my opinion". If al Qaeda bombs a funeral, that's terrorism, not because of what they did, but because al Qaeda did it. If the United States attacks funerals with drones while supposedly hunting terrorists, that's not terrorism, because we did it, and we're the good guys.
Former Bush propagandist Press Secretary, Dana Perino, thinks President Obama gets "amazing treatment" from the press. This delusion is common, but it's not true. In fact, President Obama got the most negative coverage -- was the only person to get majority negative coverage -- during the GOP primary. The delusion that press hates Sarah Palin is also laughable. Despite not even being a candidate, and has one of the lowest favorable ratings amongst Americans of any political figure, she had the second highest positive coverage of anyone.
Once again, America does not have a liberal media.
When the Dixie Chicks said that they were embarrassed that George W. Bush was from Texas, conservatives and Republicans burned their CDs (remember those?), called them traitors and America-haters, and threatened to murder them. Now, Hank Williams Jr. says of Barack Obama, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the US and we hate him!" while the right cheers it on.
Consider how alike, and different, these two situations are. The Chicks offered up their opinion, one of shame, of being from the same state as W. They never said he hates America, lied about his religion, and tried to speak for all of America. But the right wanted to kill them for what they said.
That tendency to overreact with sociopath rage hasn't gone away. At least some parts of the right have real problems.

Phins travel to the west coast and take on the Arizona Card's
Miami Record 1-2
Arizona Record 3-0
Can we win this game, possible but it will depend on if Bush plays or not. I think Arizona is playing very well right now both Fitzgerald and Roberts are getting touchs. In short Arizona comes away with the win.

We win this game. Kevin Kolb shows why he was a concern in the off season by throwing 4 picks. Reggie Bush runs for only 70 yards but Miller breaks out for over 100. Tannehill throws for 3 Tds.
On Defense Sean Smith locks down Larry Fitzgerald all game and Andre Roberts. Ryan Williams is the only one that scores for them (VT fan)
I'm saying 42-7.
Back to reality. I really think we can pull off the upset here, I think we are going to win this one 23-17.

This is an interesting one but I think it is winnable. Miller has shown some great signs. I think the key is to run the ball and set up the deep ball. Armstrong is finally getting healthy so it should bode well for us

You are all underrating Arizona quite a bit, especially their defense. They didn't even give up a touchdown to the Eagles last week and they only scored six points, gave up one touchdown to the Patriots and 18 total points, and one touchdown and 16 total points to Seattle. But you guys have us scoring 27 and 23 points? Doubtful.

Wow, if you think you're going to put up more than the average PPG we (Arizona) allow.. you're nuts. Your only hope is that the offense makes mistakes, which thus far, has not happened. Kolb has been accurate and throwing quickly. Our line has only surrendered 5 sacks, even with how patchwork it is plus the expectation for Kolb to struggle and give up even more sacks. We gave up 1 sack to Seattle who sacked Rodgers 8 times in the first quarter.. we gave up 1 sack to New England, and 3 sacks to a Philly team LOADED on defense with sack artists.
Unless you can get to the QB, I think you're gonna be in trouble. No offense but your secondary isn't one that puts fear into opposition thus far.
Arizona's defense is ranked 7th against the pass. Peterson is allowing 0.38 yards per catch right now and is leading the league at the CB position.
I think you're in for a long day, but I'll give you at least 3 field goals..
24-9 Arizona wins to go 4-0..

Yeah I firmly believe that what were seeing in Kolb is a total mirage but ...
The Ari Deff is not a mirage by any stretch, these boys are very tough & physical.
The only way we win this is if we get ridiculous pass presure & get physical on Kolb early & he
folds like a lawn chair, otherwise we lose.

That would be .38 yards per coverage snap not catch, but I don't trust the PFF numbers anyway.
I am scared of what Bush can do if he is healthy, Miami will run the ball, unlike the Eagles, and our defense which is very aggressive in flowing the the play can struggle against shiftier backs, cutback runs and screen plays, all things that Bush usually does well.
I still have no idea what to expect of Kevin Kolb, but the way he played against Philadelphia was flawless, he never looked like throwing an INT at any stage, he made the big throws that presented themselves and overall just did a great job against an Eagles defense that had caused struggles for the likes of Joe Flacco.
Funny thing about this game is that I have had it down as a win since the schedule came out, and now I am unsure. I still beleive Arizona wins;
10-2 in their last 12, 9-1 in their last 10, both marks are best in the NFL over those stretches. The Arizona defense is playing elite football that is going to be incredibly difficult for a rookie QB to move the ball against, and even moreso if the Phins are forced to throw the football.
Key thing here is Arizona do not give up Touchdowns, two given up so far this season. Their defensive unit can give up yards between the 20's at specific times of games (late in half, in hurry up situations), but don't break.
This defense went into Foxboro for a Patriots home opener and gave up one touchdown to Tom Brady. Arizona is going to bring a defense that is very similar in effectiveness to the one the Texans bought in week one.
Good Luck - Hope for no injuries, and from my point of view, a Cardinals victory.

I don't expect a win here but I was considering this a "win-able" game during the off-season. Now, it's looking more like Arizona might be the best team we've played since Houston in week 1.
Hopefully Bush is healthy enough to go. Regardless, I look to see if a healthy Daniel Thomas is put on the field before Miller. Thomas has had costly fumbles in both of the games he's played in that ironically both came right after INTs by Tannehill. Fumbling is one thing. Fumbling right after your young QB just threw a pick, that loses games in a hurry.
This will also be quite a test for our CBs. Both Smith and Marshall will be tested. This would be a great week to show up and play the way they supposedly were going to according to all those hyped up preseason reports.

IMO, putting a lot of pressure on Kolb and forcing turnovers is the only chance the Phins have to win this game. Honestly I don not see that happenning as we haven't been very successful rushing the QBs this season. I expect a big day for Fitz and the rest of the WRs. May be a closer game is Bush is able to play. I hope I'm wrong and we get the W though.

Just because I'm able to take off my aqua and orange shades and predict a realistic outcome to this game doesn't mean that I don't want Miami to win. My apologies for not being a blind homer.

Our offense is going to get smothered. Our only saving grace in this game is that we should probably get some pressure on Kevin Kolb & hopefully get some turnovers.
If Bush is healthy:
Arizona 20

Garth Brooks' last Vegas show to air on TV
Listen to Garth Brooks on iHeartRadio
Garth Brooks is ending his Las Vegas run with a live TV special. The country star will wrap up his run at the Wynn Las Vegas' Encore Theater with a performance next month, to be carried live on CBS.
Brooks is letting viewers know just what they'll see, calling his Vegas show "the soundtrack" of his life. The singer says music was "the life blood" of his family, and his parents and siblings all had their "favorite stuff."
He explains that as the youngest of six kids it "all funneled down" to him, and as a result his influences range from Merle Haggard and George Jones to Otis Redding, Simon & Garfunkel, and Bob Seger.
In Brooks' show he performs his own hits as well as songs from his heroes, and highlights the inspiration he drew from them.
"Garth Brooks, Live From Las Vegas" will air on CBS on November 29th - the day after Thanksgiving - at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. The show will air live except on the West Coast, which will run a tape-delayed broadcast.

Descent, Scene #01
- : 01/01/2007 |
- : 18:45 min |
- : 6546
Scene Info
After running through the streets to his inevitable end, Aiden Shaw 'awakens' to find himself trapped between reality and fantasy--somewhere between Heaven and Hell. Tied to a chair, he receives a haircut from rugged tattooed hottie Zak Andrews while Chris Rock and Todd Gibbs sit bound and gagged in the background. Following the buzzcut, Shaw then begins his 'descent,' as he is initiated into his new surroundings. Everyone is untied, and as Gibbs gives Andrews a blowjob, Shaw receives one of his own from Rock, who does his best to accommodate Shaw's extra-thick tool. Meanwhile, Gibbs climbs on top of Andrews' cock and begins to ride the beefy barber. Andrews then flips Gibbs over and fucks him from behind, Gibbs looking back with a look of total contentment on his face. Before long, however, Andrews decides he wants to get plowed as well, and sits down on top of Gibbs' cock before flipping over to take it from behind. Soon Gibbs blows his load on Andrews' ass, while in the foreground, Shaw slides his own prick up inside Rock's smooth hole. Rock rides Shaw for all he's worth, his cries echoing out around them as he bounces up and down. Changing positions, he finds himself bent over, then on all fours, as Shaw pummels his from behind, forcing his monster cock in and out of Rock's hole as the sweat glistens on their bodies. Shaw pulls out, then shoots a beautiful load onto his boy's back. The descent has begun...

Earth Day Fitting for GSA's Renewable Power Award
April 22, 2002
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
Washington, D.C. -- The General Services Administration (GSA) today announced it will purchase 24 million kilowatt-hours of electricity generated from renewable resources. The Department of Energy (DOE) will use half the total at the James E. Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Ave., NW, and at its facilities in Germantown, Md. The rest will be used at the Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.
Under an existing, competitively bid GSA contract, Pepco Energy Services of Washington, D.C., will provide the combined landfill gas/wind energy over 17 months, at less than a penny more per kilowatt-hour than conventional power sources, amounting to approximately $230,000 more than the cost of conventional power during that period.
"This important work is in accord with President Bush's directives and with the Department of Energy's policies for conserving energy and protecting the environment," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. "We certainly want to express our appreciation to Pepco for its work in making this possible. It is very fitting that this announcement is being made on Earth Day, when we are reminded of the responsibility we all have to protect and preserve this wonderful planet."
DOE Secretary Spencer Abraham said, "Today I am pleased to announce that the Department of Energy will purchase electricity generated from renewable resources to power roughly 17 percent of our electricity needs at DOE Headquarters, including our Germantown facilities. Our new contract calls for an annual purchase of 6 million kilowatt hours, roughly the amount of electricity needed to power 600 homes each year."
Ed Mayberry, Pepco president and CEO, said, "We are proud to support our government facilities with electricity generated by renewable sources in an affordable and flexible manner. To date, Pepco Energy Services is providing green power to more than 25 percent of its customers in the mid-Atlantic region."
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies, and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government-owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I bought this for my daughter to wear for her 9th birthday photos, we are doing her outfit all white so I bought white tights and shoes to go with it and a really sparkly tiara. It is so white swan looking, it will be perfect. Fast shipping and great prices.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
My daughter is so in love with Swan Lake that she asked if she could change her name to Odette for her 5th Birthday. She also wanted to dress as Odette for Halloween. This is perfect. It wasn't too expensive and it was pretty easy for me to alter it to be exactly what she had in mind. I'm considering buying another because she likes to teach her friends ballet when they come over.
Age: 22-29
Such a great leo my dance girls loved how fluffy the skirt was! And such great quality my moms where very impressed with the style. I really like the coloring of the red super sassy!
Age: 19-21
This product in white was the required costume for my 6-9yr ballet girls. They were doing a mini-suite from the second Act of La Bayadere, and this tutu dress was beyond my expectations. Even though it came a bit squashed in a bag, once one, the tutu flattened to pancake proportions! The leotard material was a vibrant white and I'm happy to report that there was no 'halo' on any video recordings of the performance (a concern of mine when ordering, but it's Kingdom of Shades! It HAD to be white!) The straps come loose so you will have to sew them in the back yourself; I opted for the crisscross version. The girls looked stunning in their white tutus and crystal headpieces. A highly recommended product, and one that I will be using for future performances (especially since the color selection skyrocketed) - well worth the price!!
Bought this for my 7 yr old and out of the 5 new leotards we got she said this was the most comfortable and her favorite. Fits true to size and the material on the top is silky and shiny. Very pleased with our purchase. The tutu does stick out nicely like it does in the pictures.
I used this as a platform for my daughter's Halloween costume last year (she was the Firebird). I didn't expect much considering the price but was pleasantly surprised. The materials were fairly good quality and the fit was excellent. After a huge amount of modification and several wears (including two ballet classes and school) there was not a sign of wear on the tutu. Long after Halloween, it is still being used as a practive tutu.
I bought these for an upcoming performance, my students love them. The tulle is a "stiffer" tulle, so it really gives you a nice flat pancake look and it has 6 layers.
Beware the sizing, most of my girls are slim 6 year olds and I ordered the size D but had to exchange for an E.
Full of fun, but is also acceptable for a classical ballet class. Love it!!!
How long are the layers?
9 inches long- DDS Customer Service (02/15/2014)

Do you sell child size H because i need a tutu dress for a performance
thank you
The largest size available for this child tutu dress is size G, which is a pre-teen size 12-14
If you would like assistance finding something comparable in a larger size, please contact Customer Service.- DDS Customer Service (10/15/2013)
I need a black sparkly tutu dress for my 5-year old daughter and found the bedazzled dress on your website, but it's unavailable so I thought the photo with the sparkly silver addition to this dress might work out. Thanks.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA--As leaders here envision a Rancho Cucamonga with more walking and biking throughout the city, council-members at their Wednesday meeting unanimously adopted a policy aimed at increasing those opportunities for residents.
Called the "Complete Streets Program," officials said the policy directs city transportation planners and engineers to consistently design streets "with all users in mind including drivers, public transportation riders, pedestrians, and bicyclists as well as older people, children, and people with disabilities."
"The intent is really to make the most complete safe multi-modal transportation opportunities for all community members, not just for automobiles," said Candyce Burnett, senior planner for Rancho Cucamonga. "Most streets are designed to accommodate vehicles. We want to make sure to accommodate all modes."
Ordinance No. 857 also enables city planners to formalize metrics intended to aid in obtaining grant funding for the work.
"It helps to bolster the whole approach to complete streets, and gives us more metrics so you can measure success," said Ruben Brambila, project manager for Healthy RC Kids. "We want to have a very robust metric system, and be able to identify all the works that we do, to formalize it and make sure that it continues to happen, and not just be a temporary thing."
City officials hope to improve access and mobility for all city street users by "improving safety through reducing conflict and encouraging non-motorized transportation and transit," according to a city report on the policy.
This year the city launched an informational campaign with billboards, posters and postcards encouraging pedestrians and bicyclists to be more watchful when crossing streets. Pavement markings with the logo of the campaign - called "Look, Look, Look" - were placed at key intersections.
The city also opened the Pacific Electric Trail, a pedestrian and biking trail that runs the length of the city east to west, on what had been an abandoned light rail line in the 20th century.
