Do you maintain your x5 e53 yourself?...Your experience appreciated!
Hey Guys
I'm considering a mid 2000's x5 as a daily driver for my wife. It would replace an 05 Envoy with 106K on the clock. It has been a great car with no major issues. Just regular maintenance which I do myself.
We also have a 94 530it that my dad left us when he passed a couple years ago. It's used as my daily driver. I've admired BMW's, but probably wouldn't have owned one if not for the the inheritance. The touring has really got my attention! I've done quite a bit of maintenance work on it in the past year, and it runs and performs great especially for a 20 yr old vehicle, and exciting to drive! Which makes maintaining it a pleasure. I think it's possible to get another 100k out of the wagon.
So here's the question...What's been your experience maintaining your own e53? And, am I in my right mind thinking I can maintain an x5 just because I've had success with my e34, and Envoy? Ok, 2 questions. Oh yeah, one more. What to be aware for when considering an x5? The x5 appears to be quite a bit more complex that the e34, and as my local BMW indy puts it, can be a bit of a grab bag to find a quality used one.
I know my way around vehicle mechanics fairly well. Confident with engines and components, brakes, suspension, reasonably confident with transmissions, and interiors. My weak spots are body work and electronics, but can do ok with good guidance. However, wouldn't consider myself a mechanic.
I've done the following on the wagon...brakes, radiator, water pump and hoses, all power steering hoses, valve cover gaskets, plugs, intake manifold gaskets, motor mounts, front strut inserts, timing chain tensioner, and a few other niggles. Other experience includes head gasket replacement, r&r transmissions, wheel bearings, and full rebuild and machining on 56 chevy years ago.
Your input is appreciated!

I owned a 2003 X5 it has been a good companion but, back then I don't know any auto stuffs that I had zero knowledge on, the
maintenance was a bit costly when it was out of warranty i had to shell out $600-$1.2k every time i visit the dealer, what's pissed me
off is that the x5 had a lot of electrical issues which it has been known for. Last thing is that, it drinks gas like water :P
Since you know your way around cars, I'm pretty sure that you just only have to worry about the parts that's it

You're good. A box of tools (metric) and you'll be alright. Special tools is what differentiate, but seeing the E39 is the same as the E53, so long as you choose the same engine the tools carry over.
Do you maintain your x5 e53 yourself?...Your experience appreciated!
I wouldn't service an x5 at home. You need the right tools, and a specialised BMW computer system for diagnostics, including a super clean environment (garage with hydraulic lift) to service the car and its sensitive components, many of which need to be dust free and cleaned with specialised fluids when opened. I don't pay $190AU per hr for a master BMW authorised mechanic for no reason. Proper service means your BMW will last many years with only minimal maintenance, which in the end, will cost you much less than if you tried DIY service, which for many, end in tears and a great loss in resale?

They are no different than other vehicles in regard to performing maintenance. You would be fine!
The 3.0i wont get much better in mpg than those 4.4i. Shop for one with sport pkg and maintenance history. Have a PPI done and base your negotiation on it. GL.
2000 Dinan S1 //M5 (my DD), 06 DINAN E53 4.8iS (wife's DD), 90 Straman Z32TT (my pride & joy ride)
Gone, but not forgotten: 01 E53 3.0i, 01 525i Sport, 03 DINAN 540i MSport, 01 //M5 and 91 Z32TT
Like you I had a e34 wagon aka Touring and now I have an e53. I kept with the 3.0I engine because I am more familiar with it then the V8. I do most of the work on my X but I did find a decent indy if I don't want to or can't work on the X. You should be fine.
And I've been over just about every inch of my E53. Can you tell me which components need to be cleaned with specialized fluids?
Do you maintain your x5 e53 yourself?...Your experience appreciated!
The components requiring professional 'flush' are all those that contains oils, hydraulic fluids and other fluids. My mechanic said that unless you're a qualified BMW service engineer, you run the risk of servicing your car improperly. It's your choice. It's a risk you take in servicing your own car. A mechanics background however, if you have one, would of course help, but BMW cars, like Mercedes, are designed differently and include subtle interrelationships between separate parts that would not be known to people who have not been educated about them.

Your mechanic said that for a reason- if you and other people will service their cars by themselves, how he will pay his mortgage in 5 years, charging you fortune for simple operations and possible just ripping you off? You having similar risk when you coming to workshop, as you never know qualification of the person doing job for you, it can be 2-nd year apprentice.
Garage with hydraulic lift is a bit of an overkill. I service myself and don't have half the fancy shmancy tools and equipment people say you need.
I tackled it and found that hose not snapped back after smelling STRONG odor of fuel while cranking right in that area. Of course the dealer said no it wasn't us, but they did my valley pan two days prior. Then my poor buddy who bought his 2011 X5 BRAND NEW and the dealer screwed him so bad that he ended up giving it back. It all started when the serviced it with the wrong oil. Yes it's a diesel. My X5 is what prompted him to buy his, and now he hates BMW. He's on this here forums and did befriend me. Dealer really screwed him around.
I'm still trying to convince home to come back, but he's not wanting to just yet.
So while getting the service done professionally sounds sweet, it's not always as such.
Some of the techs have bad days and because its not their car, they don't care much.

BMW authorised mechanics have to care because they wouldn't hold their job for too long if they didn't. After every service, BMW Australia contacts me by way of a survey about whether I was satisfied with my service, and if I am not happy, they call me on my mobile to ask why! This keeps the BMW dealership in constant check and I'm never ripped off. They tell me what needs to be done, why, and how much it will cost. The service I get is some of the best in the world according to BMW standards. I've known my service engineer for years, knows all about BMW cars and it is because of him that I have never had a single major problem with any of my cars, which I do drive a lot and drive hard!
Touching BMWs with unskilled hands will only lead to more problems. A superbly engineered car needs premium service. I suggest, don't touch the Rolls Royce, get out your wallets and pay for the best service.

You never ripped off because you just follow what your mechanic (technician-engineer) told you. And as these blokes must support sales at dealership, they tell you right things for sure.

I think a lot of people on this forum, including yourself, would be far better off not going near your BMW. Leave it to the authorised BMW mechanics, who will preserve your car and ensure you get a good resale value. I wouldn't buy a BMW from somebody who has done home handy work. These cars are far too sophisticated even for many trained mechanics, and by the way, I was a Mercedes mechanic 10 years before I became a fully qualified electrical engineer.

Regarding the coding, they said they were unable to program my car because it had different modules from other cars in there...does that mean that if I replace any modules in a car (even though I replaced like for like due to the module being faulty) that the dealership programming would become useless. They told me to go find an independent mechanic that could program the car for me (all I wanted to do was set autolock on my key).
As for the general mechanic work, I know for a fact the dealerships use apprentices for the oil changes and general work. Only when it is specialized, the mechanic will use a specialist. I personally think $192/hr was very steep for what they did for me and my experience was not great to say the least. Since I got the E53, I have changed the spark plugs myself, the navigation lcd panel myself and repaired the side mirror where the gears were worn causing the window to not hold. Sure BMW could have changed my plugs for $192 but after watching the video, it was 4 screws and unplug the coil packs. Something that I do not think the average person is incapable of, and hardly needing a specialist for.
The LCD screen BMW would not touch and asked me to buy a new unit for. Again I searched youtube and repaired the screen with a new one I bought saving myself thousands in the process. I would not take on services myself, but when I can see myself saving money on little things that I can repair myself I am prepared to give it a go. Each to their own I guess.
Do you maintain your x5 e53 yourself?...Your experience appreciated!
i have to disagree
every car is the same, changing spark plugs on cars with ignition coils its the same procedure different parts and tools. same with oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, ps fluid and wheel disc brakes.
the more vehicle specific flaws ie n62b44 weep hole coolant pipe leak problem, while is a bmw design flaw that is specific to bmw's v8 n62... is well publicly documented and easily manageable by any competent mechanic that has done his homework on the procedure, whether the aftermarket solutions or a stock replacement.
the way i see it is we are all here to help one another with solutions to problems and advice on procedures of regular or even vehicle specific maintenance. most of us (as i do) own a copy of TIS, INPA, progman, DIS, winkfp, ncsexpert and dashsoft, and follow the outlined procedures in any work like i did on my 745, or will do on my x5. except when they suggest something that is excessive; like removing the radiator to replace the water cooled alternator of an n62, when there is more than enough room to back it out without damaging the radiator fins.
to say that there is not any way a mechanically inclined person can work on a bmw if not certified is way too black and white, certain repairs are far more difficult and there are many comfort levels with some people where as; say if i had leaking valve stem seals on a v8, i would rather pay bmwoem1 (who is a certified tech and works at a dealer) the 2500 dollars and save myself the time and aggravation; but thats not to say that i cannot do it, forum members have done that job plenty of times. but i can do spark plugs brakes oil air filters and other basic maintenance things with my eyes closed. ive heard of people paying a dealer to shotgun parts at their cars when things are a bit uncertain for them. 800$ for a cps replacement, or 160$ to replace an oil pressure switch that can literally be removed and replaced in under 10 mins and is a 6$ part.. replacing entire transmissions when its as simple as a mechatronics gasket or even the mechatronic itself and it goes on and on.
but to each his own and i will continue to save all the money i don't spend at the dealers shop, or even an indy.

Look, there is no law against self-servicing your own BMW. You do aj at your own risk, but I wouldn't go near it until it has reached about 6-7 fears old, because you don't want to go fiddling while it is still under warranty cover.
But my cautionary note cannot be overstated- do so but at your own risk and enjoy the experience.

How do you know who serviced or repaired the car you willing to buy, if dealers not always stamping the logbooks, especially for company cars? Have a look at asking prices for example at carsales.com.au to check resale value for these cars, please keep in mind we are discussing X5 1999-2006, not F10 or F30.
With parts prices at BMW dealers here in Australia (two-three times higher than US and Europe) dealers must not complain that owners doing the job by themselves. Do you recon $700 for a new key for X5 E53 is a reasonable price? If you buy key programmer and program EWS, got new blank key off e-bay and use local locksmith to cut the key you will be still below $200 for complete the job. And for sure dealer is not happy.
Hi Folks,
New to the forum but I would like to add this.
I owned a 1985 Porsche 928S, 32V for almost 14 years.
Before I bought the car I just thought it would be cool to own one. Once I took ownership of it the PO gave me his complete repair history which also included the original owners receipts.
At the time I purchased it, the car was 14 years old and was only serviced by dealerships. The total receipts handed to me in that gigantic folder totaled nearly $50,000 dollars! You read that right. The repairs nearly equaled the original sale of the new car!
Buyers remorse set in deep and I decided that the only way I could keep this car was to learn how to work on it myself. Through people I met, internet forums and my own ability to rationalize problems and solve them, I kept that car on the road for 14 years of ownership and never once did I visit a dealer or other repair shop and I did everything you can imagine with that car. Always ran perfect and only broke down on me once due to a failed fuel pump.
I won't give you more than two examples of how good the dealer service was to the car. When I decided to do what they call a top-ectamy on the car, I found all the spark plug wire holders broken and the wires held in place with zip ties. I also discovered when I did the very complex timing belt change on the car that there is nothing like a handful of silcone sealant to keep the oil on the other side of the crankshaft seal. Yes, I guess you get what you pay for.
I have owned my X5 for only two months and have fixed a bunch of things on it already, including just doing the valve cover gasket which was leaking. I am now working on my AC system, have a drivers door handle mechanism on order and will send my center dash module off here soon to get rid of the Vulcan language it displays. On top of that I ordered a few small items that I found needed attention.
Its ok to support a dealer who has always done right by you and is someone you have grown to trust but it comes at a cost. Usually a lot of money. If you have the chops to take your time, investigate and rationalize each problem, you will become a great problem solver and will eventually have no problem digging into your own repairs.

Bobbi Kristina is engaged ... again!
Are they? Aren't they? Are they? Aren't they?
Bobbi Kristina's love life with Nick Gordon seems to be a never-ending saga, but over the holiday weekend, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown's daughter tweeted pictures of her with Nick, and says they're engaged. Again.
In one photo she posted, she wrote: My gorgeous fiancé and I on the boardwalk "
In this picture, we clearly see the rock, but other than that photo caption (the two were in Jersey) no other confirmation has come.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
I had a sports law class, where my professor said that the reason baseball has so much heat and scrutiny over PEDs is because of the baseball stat nerds. Because so much historical importance is placed on individual stats, PEDs in the MLB is viewed as worse than in the NFL, even though the guys in the NFL are likely just as dirty.
In baseball there are no assist HRs like there are assist tackles. It is 1 vs 1, not 11 v 11. RBs hit holes their OL created for them, most things in football are cooperative.
So thus there is not as much fervor over PEDs in the NFL, due to the nature of the game.
Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
The point is they (the media) can beat this thing until there's nothing left of the horse, NOTHING will ever come from it. He's going to play in the Super Bowl, he's not going to get fined, he's going to retire, and he's a LOCK to be a first ballot HOF'er in 5 years. So let the media continue to look stupid, giving this play, and talking about it fueling Ray and the Ravens to beat the shit out of the Niners."What would you give for the man beside you?"

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
I just talked to a good pediatric endocrinologist contact of mine at Hopkins who works extensively with kids in need of HGH and substances like IGF-1. She said that there is no administration of IGF-1 except by injection (confirming the report in the Sun) and that there is no such thing as an IGF-1 spray. This just further confirms that this story was poorly researched and dumped out on Media Day to make the biggest splash possible. It is sloppy journalism at its worst. I would have thought SI learned its lesson from the T'eo story. I was wrong.
And for PFT and Florio, I just have one thing to say -- it is not for the guy who has passed multiple drug tests to exonerate himself. It is on the person making the allegation to prove that what they are saying is true. This story is a lot of smoke, mirrors and innuendo -- and it leaves Ray in an impossible position. Ray cannot prove a negative unless he has 24 hour recorded surveillance on him all of his life. It is on the accuser to prove the positive assertion. That, they have not done. And Florio being a recovering lawyer should know better.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
They are dragging Ray's name through the mud (again) based of an ex-stripper's word saying he is linked to a banned substance which the company CLAIMS is in their product, which we have all read on this thread (via links from doctors) saying it's BS. Fucking Deer-antler spray, ARE YOU FUCKING kidding me.

Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
And one other thing: this "Lance Armstrong also passed drug tests" line of argument is a complete crock. So a negative drug test is now proof of guilt? This Lance Armstrong argument is weak and is guilt by association.
You know who else didn't fail drug tests? ADOLPH HITLER. Ergo Ray is like Hitler. Great logic there, haters.
On the other side, I could tell you Mother Theresa never failed a drug test, nor did Gandhi, nor did Jesus, nor did Buddha, nor did Muhammad, nor did Moses, etc., etc. This argument by association proves absolutely nothing.
The Ravens organization should do everything to win on Sunday. Then, after Sunday, take SI to the woodshed for such a sloppy job.
Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
Re: Oh, geez, here it comes (dread)...
The NFL doesn't want to address it because they don't want a controversy like MLB has.
It opens up a big can of worms IMO.
Why are hyperbaric chambers allowed? Those enhance healing. Matt Forte used one this year to help his ankle heal faster. Did he cheat?
What about Tylenol? That is performance enhancing too - if you have a headache and take Tylenol you just improved your ability to focus. Less pain too.
Vitamins are performance enhancing too.
Why are cortisone shots allowed? Ellerbe just had one. Did he cheat? The Saints had that prescription painkiller issue a few years back. Players probably pop those like candy. Is that cheating?
Where is the line drawn? Substances that directly contribute to muscle mass?
The NFL wants athletes to heal - they want Ray Lewis on the field. People pay to see the players on the field, not on the sideline injured.
Is there a distinction between taking a substance to heal faster as opposed to enhance muscle? The ADHD medicine does nothing to enhance muscle but supposedly gives a mental advantage. So clearly it is not just limited to muscle enhancement being the central focus.
The more you dig the messier it gets.

What do you guys think about the letters "SOEJ" btw.. Doo you really think there's potential in the letter flow? Be straight uppp.
I think the J totally fucks it up, especially next to an E.
I'd only really rock a J at the beginning of a word.
Now that I think about it, JAIL would be a pretty dope word, have it kicking out both ways.
I'm real into the "SOE" I just gotta end it with something that fits... any help?
What about "SOEP"

anyone know how to handle a rat? some kid tried to rat me out for having a quarter of bud on the bus the other day and I ended up getting my locker searched by the vice principal, I'm only in middle school so all the grade 6 kids fresh out of D.A.R.E and other bullshit will rat without thinking twice
This idea has been brewing in my head for a while and I think I finally figured out exactly what I think should go down. Bombingscience.com is a very well known website around the graff community and I think it's time us as a community got some respect. Companies like Ironlak allows their writers to design clothing appeal that say their company brand.
For example, Banos designed
Why not have a contest allowing members of the website to be able to design BombingScience logos for Bombingscience's own brand of appeal. I have no idea if a mod or admin can even get a hold of someone who can make this happen, but I figured it be a cool way for the forum members to be able to show off their shit and have it be in a contest form.
I'm thinkin we have 3 catagories. 1. A piece style 2. A throwie style 3. A hand style all saying "BombingScience"
There should be a certain amount of time for the contest to be ran, and at the end a poll is held for each category and the winner gets his design on hoodies, tshirts etc. I myself have a very unique design that's different from the catagories here, it'd be more for all the forum members to be involved in instead of the people entering the contest. If an admin or mod wants to contact me to hear the idea for my design, hit me uppp. But other then that.. what you all think?
Hahaha if you're in middle school I definetly don't think you should be smoking pot.
Kids that start smoking younger, like a lot of people these day, don't tend to understand what smoking is really about. Smoking isn't supposed to fuck you up. It's supposed to enhance your feelings, and your life. I see all these preppy kids these days talking about smoking, and how messed up they were, and it makes me sad to think that this is what weed has become. Something to fuck you up. The hippies had it all right. It's a tool to make your life better, not to replace your life. These people are why weed is seen as bad, and people often overlook the good side of things because they see the bad side.
And the younger you are, the less likely to tend to think you'll get caught. Rap is the last thing you need right now. I'll have to agree with ian and say wait until you're older. And if your parents find out you smoke now, and they're tight, you're going to lose a lot of opportunities later because they'll be more up your ass. All in all, if you're gonna smoke, it doesn't matter what I say. Just be responsible, and enjoy it. For yourself.
I realize the consequences of what smoking pot does to my body. Despite that I have a large amount it does not mean that I smoke alot, the last time I smoked was a month ago. I don't smoke weed to get fucked up I smoke it because it makes me feel better, I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and have constant stomach cramps. I consider smoking pot a form of enlightenment, it generally lightens my mood and makes me more sociable instead of a drug meant to get you high off your ass, which it isn't. I am well aware that drugs are not a good path to go down but I can guarantee you I will not fuck with hardcore drugs, besides the fact that they will destroy me I couldn't bear to touch them having lost my uncle to crack and having my dad suffer through morphine relapse. To sum it up, I moderate myself, that is key to weed.
And why should I stay away from hiphop? I don't like gangster rap or any crap like that, lyrics about pushing coke and shooting people isn't quite my taste. And where did I mention rap in my last post? I'm not going to listen to music I don't like.
Hahaha rap meaning criminal rap. Like having a crime on your criminal record.
your friendly spell check : wrap
Oh, I get it now. If I'm on a forum for writers why would you mention a criminal rap? And please don't tell me to stop writing

Shriver Report Shines Light on Women in Poverty
Jan 16, 2014
By Lauren French
Despite the fact that women have become increasingly essential to our workplaces and are outnumbering men in our institutions of higher learning, a shocking number of women are still living one illness, car breakdown, or missed paycheck away from financial disaster.
A new report co-authored by Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress, with contributions from over a dozen other writers, reveals the stark economic realities women in this country are facing. The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Pushes Back From The Brink reports that one in three women live in or on the edge of poverty.
"These are not women who are wondering if they can 'have it all,'" Shriver explains in the report. "These are women who are already doing it all – working hard, providing, parenting, and caregiving. They're already doing it all, yet they and their families can't prosper, and that's weighing the U.S. economy down."
Enacting public policy aimed at reducing women's economic insecurity is not only the right thing to do – it's the economically sensible thing to do. According to the report, ensuring that women are paid equally to men would cut the poverty rate for working women in half. Closing the gender gap would have a profound effect on the U.S. economy as well, increasing GDP by a whopping $450 billion, or 2.9 percent.
Another essential part of reducing women's economic insecurity is to adopt public policies -- like paid family and medical leave, paid sick days, the right to request predictable schedules, and workplace flexibility -- that allow women to balance the increasingly conflicting demands of work and family. At a forum about the report hosted by The Atlantic on January 15, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand explained the need for these policies, stating, "the face of the workplace has changed and all the policies workplaces utilize are stuck in the 50's and 60's." These outdated policies often force working women to sacrifice their jobs or career mobility – and their economic security - in order to care for their sick children or ailing parents.
In order to address these antiquated policies, Senator Gillibrand, along with Representative Rosa DeLauro, recently introduced the Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FAMILY) Act. The legislation would establish a paid family and medical leave insurance program that would allow workers to care for themselves or a family member without having to sacrifice their financial security.
These policies are not only good for women and families; they are good for business as well. "Any business that has paid leave will tell you it is worth every bit of that investment," said Senator Gillibrand. "What you're gaining is a more loyal workforce, a happier workforce, a more efficient workforce, and one that doesn't have to be constantly retrained."
Patsy Doerr, global head of Diversity and Inclusion at Thomson Reuters, described how her company's flexible workplace policies make good business sense. "You create a more engaged workplace and that leads to greater productivity at the end of the day and, generally, greater happiness among your employee population which, from a business perspective, drives better results."
The Shriver Report is a necessary reminder about the importance of women's economic security to the success of our economy overall. Enacting policies like paid sick days and paid family and medical leave is essential to allowing women and families to push back from the brink of poverty.

THE PIERZ JOURNAL V^OL. 6. PIERZ, MORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, APRIL 29,' 1915. NO. 46. h. STATE NEWS BITS Various Happenings of the Week Throughout Minnesota. Mrs. Julia Ryan, aged eighty years, Is dead at Waterville. Mrs. Ryan was born In County Cork, Ireland, in 1835 and as a girl went through the great famine of 1845-46. She came to Ajherica at twelve years of age and at New Orleans passed through the yellow fever scourge and cared for those afflicted. She was married to Edward Magner at St. Louis and moved to New Ulm, this state, in 1860, where her husband was killed in the Indian uprising and she fled with her small children to St. Paul.

Reports received by the mineral land department of the state auditor's office indicate that the season will be unusually late this year, but that the total amount shipped will be close to the output of 1913, when almost 3,- 000,000 tons of ore was sent from the state mines. * +' + Colonel Thomas D. Piste is dead at the home of his daughter in St. Paul. He served in the Confederate army as a member of an Alabama regiment and after the war was elected to the legislature of that state.

Four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandcrildren survive 1Mb Chas. Lust of Hillman Loses House by Fire Chas. Lust, living-about seven miles east of the villag-e lost his house by tire about five o'clock Tuesday evening". The fire, it seems, started from the roof. Mrs. Lust, who was home alone with the children did not discover the fire until she began to feel the heat from above. When tlie flames were in full progress, Chas. came home, but it was then too late to save much of the household g-oods. The loss is estimated at §700. Play Staged at the Parish Hall Meets With Grand Success. Base Ball Meeting Last Saturday Eve A Baseball meeting- was held last Saturday evening, with the object of perfecting- a local organization to promote the national g-ame. The following- officers were elected: Andrew H. Paust, Manager. R. M. Stoll, Treasurer. F. X. Virnig-, Secretary. R. M. Stoll, and Frank J. Gil- bride were appointed to gather donations to pay for grounds. The first game of the season will be played with Royalton, on the Royalton diamond next Sunday. Last Sunday evening, un Ier the able guidance of Rev. Fr. Siegler, local talent scored a great hit, before a packed house, in "Dark Before Dawn", and "Der Dumme Joseph". The former, a Civil War Drama in two acts vividly pictured the warfare of 1861 and the campaig-n in the far South. It was redolent with the atmosphere of the Sunny South. A southern lad, actuated by high moral principle enlists at the outbreak of hostilities under the federal forces, and as the war progresses is delegated to the South as a spy. Captured he is condemned to suffer the fate of a spy. Tlie Climax of the story is arrived at when the climax of the story is arrived at when the son is poroled aud allowed to remain at home under the g-uardinship of his father who is a staunch supporter of the confederate couse. The second play of the evening's program, a four act german comedy illustrating typical scenes of peasant and barrack life in Germany during the eighteenth century proved a roar from start to finish. "Der Dumme Joseph", a young rustic lad who is constantly committing liimself while at home and who by his stammering is the ever increasing cause of merriment, being drafted into the army, causes his superiors great trouble with his strange antics. After a series of escapades he returns home not "Der Dumme Joseph," but "Joseph der Un- teroffizier. Casper Thommes as "Der Dumme Joseph", did exceptionally well as a comedian. Teddy Wermerskirchen as "Little Jim" is desering of favorable comment, and so is Minnie Rauch as Joseph's Mutter.

Rochas Spring 2014
"Rochas is about a celebration of the fragility of a woman—this very graceful quality that in a way is very mighty and powerful," said Marco Zanini during a preview of his swan song Rochas collection, as light and as pretty as a rainbow after a brief shower on a sun-bright spring morning, "It takes a lot of strength to be gentle and kind."
For Zanini, this collection was "a big love letter to Rochas—joyous and cheerful and happy," and it summed up the whimsical and charming femininity that he has summoned for the house in his five years at the design helm (Zanini is strongly rumored to be the new designer at Schiaparelli). "Ideas can come from very unexpected places," Zanini added, and this year, after reading a biography of Tennessee Williams, he was struck by the evocative and poetic titles that the writer gave his plays, and in particular by the idea of The Glass Menagerie. So he set about creating a fragile-seeming collection that would suggest "glass and crystal and translucency—like a sugary overdose."
So his ethereal girls appeared in a day-lit room at the 1930s Théâtre National de Chaillot (with vast glass picture-windows framing a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower), and a backdrop curtain of layers of pearlescent nylon organza lamé. Zanini started with fabrics to create those crystalline effects—a Bucol-cut velvet on washed satin, its overblown roses hand-tinted in pastel hues, reflective organzas shot with metal; and the shimmering lamé fabrics that are a leitmotif of the season, in a palette that was as pretty as a box of Ladurée macaroons—bleached lemon yellows, eau de nil, soft apricot, pistachio, and faded rose.
Those girls were garlanded with ropes of gobstopper-size Swarovski crystals, the cardigans that were shrugged over evening gowns or worn with sunray-pleated Romantic Ballet–length skirts were woven in shiny nylon-filament yarn that evoked the quality of spun sugar and were fastened with real glass buttons. Those shimmering crystals were also glued onto light-as-air princess line dresses cut to the midcalf, with an early sixties Hubert de Givenchy feel, to make the embellishments as light as possible. Skirts were sunray-pleated or tiered or flounced in the girliest way, but bomber jackets (in luxe washed duchess satin), sporty shorts (in silver tissue), and swingy blazers cut the sugar.
The toes of the jeweled flats or dainty heels were fronded with clipped ostrich feathers that dusted the floor as the models walked, adding a touch of whimsy to this enchanting collection that finished in old-school haute couture fashion with a bride, her tiered crinoline skirt of pearly waffle textured organza bobbing along like a scudding cloud.

How Deal Was Made, Unmade, Then Saved
The morning after, as so often happens, there were regrets.
By early Wednesday, partisans on the left and right had found plenty to grumble about in Congress's New Year's deal to avoid going off the fiscal cliff. But it is unlikely there would have been any deal at all to grumble about if not for a Sunday afternoon phone call from one end of Pennsylvania Avenue to the other.
With time running out before a year-end deadline to...

I found this old metal box that was used to run these lights on a display from my work. It's exsactly the right size, I can take i apart for easy mounting (giggity), and it has this switch on the back which looks pretty cool.
The problem is that it is infact, metal. Here's the thing, it's where I NEED to hold to hang onto the prop so my hand will not be leaving it. So it's not sharp and I will be litteraly carrying it in my hand at all times.
Would this be accecptable to use on a prop?

It's stainless steel and it's rather dull and there is no point to it. So she asked me to find out if she could bring it. I have no idea is she could. Plus there is a scabbard that she keeps it in. I have no clue what the mods would say so I'm asking.
Posted 04 April 2008 - 12:58 PM
If you keep it in your room, well, Ok. But metal props are against the rules.
Frankly, my advice is this: Don't bring it. Wouldn't it suck to have it confiscated?

I told her that too. She doesn't listen to me....never does.
She was also asking that if it was kept in the scabbard...like sealed in there, would it be okay? I shook my head at this and said, why ruin the sword? But she wants to know.
Frankly, I wouldn't want to be carrying it around in the first place...it's heavy.

Afraid for a 2nd Baby
When I got pregnant it was discovered there's bleeding on my right ovary. I was advised to take medicines to keep my bub and complete bed rest, which lasted 7 months. I also had about an hour of like a pre-term labour on the 4th month. Then on my 38th week, the day before my scheduled C Section because of breech position, I had labour for 13 hours. Ended up on an emergency operation. For me it was a traumatic experience especially I have low pain tolerance. Husband wants a bub again after 3 years and I wonder if I'll be going through the same experience again. What will I do to be ready?

As a trainee doula I've attended several 'second births' where mothers have had a traumatic first birth experience. And they were all SO different from the first births. Why? Because even if the mothers needed intervention, they also knew how to compromise with staff (refusing things they didn't want) as well as doing a lot of research on their choices, rights and risks.
I'd recommend getting a doula, especially if you plan to VBAC. Each c/section increases the risk of many types of complications, in particular ones relating to the placenta (placenta previa, placenta previa etc).
However you need to get a supportive doctor - induction and birthing on the back with a VBAC is very likely to end up with another c/section. So you need to do your research, have a doctor who will support you not just "let you attempt" a VBAC with extreme monitoring.
Check out "Birth Without Fear" (Facebook page/Blog) for some great VBAC stories.

Sexual offender Stephen Thomas Siddons, 26, Old Town, was arrested by Levy County Sheriff's Office Deputy Leroy Prine on Feb. 17, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
Prine spotted what he believed was a disabled vehicle — a silver Chevy Blazer — on U.S. 19 just north of Inglis and stopped to assist the driver, whom he identified as Siddons. Siddons told him he was headed to Indiana and said his truck just stopped working. Siddons, who appeared very nervous, gave some evasive answers, causing the deputy to become suspicious.

Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum.
Torsion of the testis; Testicular ischemia; Testicular twisting
Some men may be predisposed to testicular torsion as a result of inadequate connective tissue within the scrotum. However, the condition can result from trauma to the scrotum, particularly if significant swelling occurs. It may also occur after strenuous exercise or may not have an obvious cause.
The condition is more common during the first year of life and at the beginning of adolescence (puberty), but may happen in older men.
Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease:
The health care provider will examine you. This may show:
Doppler ultrasound of the testicle can show blood flow. There will be no blood flow through the area if you have complete torsion. It may be reduced if you have a partial torsion of the testicle.
Surgery is usually required and should be performed as soon as possible after symptoms begin. If surgery is performed within 6 hours, most testicles can be saved.
During surgery, the testicle on the other (unaffected) side is usually also anchored as a preventive measure. This is because the unaffected testicle is at risk of testicular torsion in the future.
If the condition is diagnosed quickly and immediately corrected, the testicle may continue to function properly. After 6 hours of torsion (impaired blood flow), the likelihood that the testicle will need to be removed increases. However, even with fewer than 6 hours of torsion, the testicle may lose its ability to function.
If the blood supply is cut off to the testicle for a prolonged period of time, it may atrophy (shrink) and need to be surgically removed. Atrophy of the testicle may occur days to months after the torsion has been corrected. Severe infection of the testicle and scrotum is also possible if the blood flow is restricted for a prolonged period.
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if testicular torsion symptoms occur.
Use precautions to avoid trauma to the scrotum. Many cases are not preventable.

GSA Finalizes Site Security Design Guidelines
September 17, 2007
Contact: MaryAnne Beatty (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration Public Buildings Service has just completed a new publication that establishes guidance, explores various elements and best practices and lays out the process for designing site security at federal facilities.
"GSA's highest priority is to provide federal customer agencies with safe, secure and productive workplaces in order to carry out their missions," said David L. Winstead, Commissioner for the Public Buildings Service. "These guidelines will assist in achieving the best design security solutions, creating a portfolio of buildings that will endure into the future, and improve the communities in which we work."
The Site Security Design Guide establishes guidance, explores various elements and best practices, and lays out the process security professionals, designers, and project managers can follow in designing site security at GSA's federal facilities. The guide's approach is also applicable to nonfederal facilities as well.
The 152-page guide highlights lessons learned in a variety of test cases from around the nation. It encourages a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach and features numerous photos and images that illustrate methods used to produce safe and productive workplaces. It also pinpoints key security principles that should be integrated into the design process, such as the strategic reduction of risk and long-term development strategy.
GSA follows security standards developed by the Interagency Security Committee that outlines required analysis and performance benchmarks for federal buildings. The Guide supplements, but does not replace, applicable technical security criteria, analysis tools, and other federal project planning guidance. For more information about the Security Design Guide, visit www.gsa.gov/ssdg.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 425 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA provides world-class workplaces for more than one million people every day, including several thousand facilities nationwide that encompass federal office buildings, courthouses, and ports of entry.

Christina Camarena Guzman and her family left San Bernardino four months after her 15-year-old son was killed in a drive-by shooting.
The Guzman family revisited its past on Saturday, not in San Bernardino, but in Pasadena where they helped build a Rose Parade float. The Donate Life float, themed "Journeys of the Heart," is dedicated to the slain teen and other people whose organs and tissue were donated to save lives.
"I was really happy to be there," Christina Guzman said.
Steven Guzman was walking with friends in the 1500 block of North Belle Street on Jan. 28 when someone in a passing car fired a gun at the group. The bullets missed his friends, but struck Steven.
The teen died at Loma Linda University Medical Center.
He was the city's youngest homicide victim of 2012. The case remains unsolved.
His mother decided to donate Steven's organs, and three people - including two children - have become recipients. The Guzman family relocated to Los Angeles in May in search of a fresh start.
Christina Guzman's sister, who works in the transplant center at Cedars-Sinai, encouraged her to sign up as a volunteer for the Donate Life float.
"I wanted my kids to experience that," Guzman said. "But I wasn't sure if I was ready to go."
When she and five of her relatives arrived to help with the float, her hesitation disappeared. Dozens of other people also were there to volunteer.
"I started crying," she said. "I had to catch my breath, not because I was sad, but because all these people were here to participate. It was such a great thing."
Her son, Vincent Guzman, called it a comfortable experience because he was surrounded by other people who had lost a loved one.
"It was like strangers that turned into friends," he said.
Christina Guzman plans to write letters to the recipients of her son's organs with the hope that they respond and give her some closure.
"Every holiday I think of these kids running and playing and riding a bike," she said. "It made me feel good because my son helped with that."

woops one thing that might help that i forgot to add is: Ubuntu works as a livecd on my computer.
Also I tried using the usb version and bt3 and nada but both copies worked on other computers.
Try the
Before pressing ENTER after boot : type that command and then press enter.Code:bt acpi=off
If that doesn't work, the best thing I can suggest is going through Re@lity's instructions

addyall: If you are just trying to create a menufile for yourself then by all means go ahead. I just want you to be aware of the reason we dropped flux box. KDE and gnome and certain other window managers are what is called free desktop complaint which means they all use a tool.desktop file in their menus. This makes it very easy for a package manager to add and remove menu entries. This is not possible to do with flux box because it uses a XML type file for its menu.
As for your second question simply modify the bt3 menu. Over half the tools are in the same sections so just add the new ones.

When you begin a degree or certificate program or register for individual classes, you will get an account for MyNewSchool, the university's Web portal for students, faculty, and staff. MyNewSchool gives you access to your New School email account, campus announcements, library resources, and MyCourses, where your online classes "meet."
As in any other class, the professor presents material and then leads a discussion. Instead of speaking, however, students post comments using the MyCourses feature of MyNewSchool. Your responses, combined with those of your fellow students and the instructor, form the discussion. If you've ever participated on a Web board or left a comment on a blog, you probably already have a pretty good idea of how BlackBoard works. If not, The New School offers online tutorials to help you learn the program quickly and easily. The experience is pretty similar to a traditional class—in fact, the conversation is sometimes more in depth because the posting mechanism makes it easier for all students to participate.
There is one major difference, though. Online classes meet asynchronously—which means you can read materials, join discussions, and post responses any time of the day or night. You don't have to be online at the same time as your classmates, but because you can read all the responses every time you are "in class," you'll feel as if everyone is interacting.
Although every class is different, students are strongly advised to log in to the class a minimum of three times a week. And because the class is conducted on the Internet, you also have the opportunity to use media, create links, and do research online. Students studying for credit must complete papers, tests, and projects, just as they would in the traditional classroom. To get a better feel for the process, check out the screenshots below.
Your online class can include the following sections (click on the screenshot to view a larger image in a new window):
An announcement page where class information can be posted by the professor
A syllabus section, for information about course content, the course outline, and required reading
Lecture notes for each week of the class, written and posted by your professor
An assignment section where the professor can post the requirements and dates for class projects and assignments
A discussion board for focused group discussion on the course topics
A resource page for Web assets such as webcasts, podcasts, and links to supplemental course materials

KIRKLAND, WA --The most recent INRIX Gridlock Index (April 2012 to April 2013) could spell good news for the American economy, but it's certainly bad news for route drivers. According to the widely respected index, traffic congestion in June rose more than 8% on a year-over-year basis. This was due, say the INRIX analysts, to higher-than-expected payroll additions. Compared with a significant year-over-year decrease from the year before, the average trip in the 100 most populated metro areas will take just over 7% longer due to increased traffic.
For route operators, this means increased hours and fuel costs. Whether those increases to the bottom line will be offset by a boost in overall sales remains to be seen.
"Last year at this time we saw a 19% year-over-year decrease in traffic congestion levels," said INRIX chief executive Bryan Mistele. "Yet we turned a corner in December. Aside from a slight pullback in March, we've seen higher levels of consumer spending and employment lead to dramatically higher levels of gridlock on our roads nationwide."
Other data culled from the analysis show that the Northeast displaced the West to lay claim to the largest increase in year-over-year traffic congestion (12%). This was driven by strong gains in the metro areas of Boston (28%) and Philadelphia (25%). However, the West did see the second-highest gain in year-over-year traffic congestion (9.6%). This increase, according to INRIX, was driven by two metro areas that have proven most resilient during economic downturns: Los Angeles (12%) and San Francisco (14%).
The South also saw an acceleration of traffic congestion, with a 2.4% year-over-year increase in May followed by a 6% increase in June. These increases were largely due to strong gridlock increases in cities like Miami (17%) and Atlanta (10%).
The Midwest continued to decelerate. Its year-over-year gridlock increases of 14.4% for April and 9.1% in May were followed by a more subdued increase of 4.2% in June. However, major increases were recorded for Milwaukee (17%) and Minneapolis (16%), while substantial declines were noted in Toledo (-28%), Columbus (-19%) and Cincinnati (-4%).
As INRIX noted in its report, the index of congestion roughly parallels economic growth and statistical data in such things as housing sales, employment rates and other crucial data.
INRIX is a leading traffic intelligence platform delivering smart data and advanced analytics to solve transportation issues worldwide. It crowdsources real-time data from approximately 100 million vehicles and devices to deliver traffic and driving-related insight, as well as sophisticated analytical tools and services, across five industries in 35 countries. Data for its survey is drawn from the INRIX Traffic Data Archive Scorecard, a historical traffic information database comprised of data collected from hundreds of public and private sources, including a crowd-sourced network of millions of vehicles and mobile devices.

Electrolytes are minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge.
Electrolytes affect the amount of water in your body, the acidity of your blood (pH), your muscle function, and other important processes. You lose electrolytes when you sweat. You must replace them by drinking fluids.
Common electrolytes include:
Electrolytes can be acids, bases, and salts.
They can be measured by laboratory studies of the blood in different ways. Each electrolyte can be ordered as a separate test, such as:
Note: Serum is the part of blood that doesn't contain cells.
Sodium, potassium, and chloride can also be ordered as part of an electrolyte panel or a basic metabolic panel.
The electrolytes - urine test measures electrolytes in urine. It usually measures the levels of calcium, chloride, potassium, or sodium.

HI all, How would you code this?
Note: The image of the beef is a background image since it's decorative in nature. The brown block behind the heading text is a graphic. Also, the final site will be responsive. Here's a preview of my bootstrap template that I plan to work with.
It's better for you to have a go at this and then ask for help if you get stuck. What have you tried so far? What are you thoughts on how to code it?
The brown a div with overflow hidden and some padding. Float the image left. Give the heading a negative margin to drag it left. The text is in a p. Done.
I did a bit of work on this and now need some assistance with getting the h3 tag to display like the graphical mockup I previewed in the above posts.
Here's what I've done so far.
Here's my code:
.beef {
background-image: url(../img/beef.jpg);
.beef p {
color: #b1a17e;
padding-left: 9em;
line-height: 120%;
.beef h3 {
color: #fdf4ce;
background-position: right;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin-left: 3.2em;
Two things I need assistance with:
1.) How to close the gap between the 2
 tags2.) How to get the
 background image to stop at the end of the H3 text and not all the way to the right. How to apply background color until we need to apply image to the right.
I made an update and now just need to figure out how to get the
 tag to display like the preview graphic above.
Is it ok to do something like this?
Title Here

but it seems more difficult to style.
The issue appears to involve
h3 {display:inline}
Delete {display:inline} and the
 will render more like your image. Container space is an issue at less than wide screen widths, though.
Good luck.
PS: your page centers 10px to the left of center (if that matters).
Yes, I tried removing display:inline before posting this thread and it ends up setting the
 tag as a block, so the background color is then extended all the way to the edge of the container. I need to figure out how to extend the background color only about 5px to the right of the last character of the
 tag like the graphic I had previously uploaded. The easy way out would be to style each line as:

Title Here

but that doesn't seem semantic.
Sorry, I didn't notice the difference in the distribution of the background color. Oh, well.
You could put span tags around the lines, something like this:

OUR
 KOBE-STYLE BEEF

.beef h3 {
color: #FDF4CE;
line-height: 1.1em;
.beef h3 span {
background-color: #633D2E;
display: inline-block;
padding: 2px 4px;
That worked! NOw I can move on...thanks!
You're welcome.
Ron (or anyone reading), Here's my latest: http://ogmda.com/test/
Notice how the photo for the ABOUT THE STEAKHOUSE section is chopped off on the bottom and top. How do I get it so the entire photo shows? I tried looking up the CSS height property but I am still confused. Can you help point me in the right direction?
Under what conditions is the image being chopped? In what browser, etc?
It looks fine to me until the width of the viewport is reduced to ~750px and the layout changes from columns to rows.
If that is the problem you are referring to, then the image image is behaving like any ordinary background image should. It is being clipped as the height of its container becomes shorter than the height of the image. You can give the container a minimum height that matches the height of the image if you wish.
.beef {
min-height:208px; /* add me */
