Spicy Shrimp and Sausage Boil
For a leisurely meal that's great for sharing, spread the shrimp and sausage boil on wide sheets of butcher paper and dig in.
- Servings: 4
Source: Everyday Food, July/August 2009
- 1 serrano or jalapeno chile, halved lengthwise
- 2 celery stalks, halved
- 1 medium onion, quartered through stem end
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning, plus more for serving
- 1 pound red new potatoes
- 2 ears corn, husks and silks removed, quartered
- 1 pound smoked andouille sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound large shell-on shrimp
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
In a large pot, combine chile, celery, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, and 10 cups water; bring to a boil. Add potatoes and reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.
Add corn and sausage to pot. Cook until potatoes and corn are cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in shrimp and let stand until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 1 1/2 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup cooking liquid; drain shrimp mixture and return to pot. Add butter, 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning, hot sauce, and reserved cooking liquid and toss to combine. Serve with more seafood seasoning.

AmberS11 JUN, 2013The only change I made was adding about 4 times as much garlic. With that said, I followed the rest to a "T", and we absolutely LOVED it! Great flavors, and extremely easy!Reply
choiceweb6 MAR, 2010The Seafood seasoning above is a mixture of dried spices. People do this recipe with live crawfish in Louisiana especially during Lent, so there are all kinds of brands to try. Outside of Louisiana and surrounding states, it looks like people use Old Bay. This recipe is great and I agree mushrooms do well.Reply
dinomom28 AUG, 2009I used Old Bay seasoning and this was very good. I pulled some out before I added the hot sauce and even the kids loved it!Reply
MS1171584128 AUG, 2009What is the seafood seasoning? Cocktail sauce type thing?Reply
Myers405128 AUG, 2009Mushrooms are great in this boil also!Reply

I just wanted to let you know how much I LOVE Campaign Monitor. I have been doing email campaigns for our clients for two years, using various software solutions including an in-house, custom-made solution that was supposed to do everything Campaign Monitor does. I have faced nothing but frustration with each campaign taking half a day to get together lists, upload templates and naming variables and etc. I have also introduced many errors into large email campaigns which could have been avoided with a simpler interface.
But using Campaign Monitor for the first time I spent less than an hour to complete a rush campaign. I was absolutely thrilled (and I don't often get thrilled with software unless it's Call of Duty or something)! Using this application is an absolute delight and will make my job so much easier. You have won a dedicated customer who will be referring this product to anyone and everyone who would have a use for it. THANKS!

Lyft Expands Into San Antonio
Ridesharing app Lyft, one of a crop of mobile phone-driven services providing rides on demand from a marketplace of independent drivers, has expanded its efforts in Texas, saying it has debuted in San Antonio. The service--which supports its services via either an iPhone or Android smartphone--also has been operating in Dallas. Lyft's services are similar to Uber and Sidecar, letting users request rides in a city, which are provided by a fleet of part time, independent drivers.

Thanks for making this point. The origins of "I" that you describe below
are consistent also with Oppenheim's book, "The Real Eve". It's clarifying
to consider the wider context of deeper origins.
Many of the disagreements, or apparent disagreements, in our disussions
occur because some statements need to be qualifed by "where" & "when".
A lot of migration can occur in 16000 - 22000 years.
I'm looking forward to the day when there's enough data to subdivide "I"
and other large haplogroups.

Z4 top does not go up all of the way
I have a 03 BMW Z4 where the top will not go all of the way up. It comes up about 1/3 of the way and stops. When I try to put it back down, nothing happens. I either have to release the red handle in the trunk or wait till it gravitates down. The motor works for 1/3 of the way so I assumed that it was ok, Thanks to the great intstructions posted by shipkiller I removed the top to inspect. The hydraulic fluid in the motor seemed low, so I added fluid but it is still doing the same things. My g/f took it to the dealer and they didnt even hook it up to the pc, I was willing to pay the $105 to see what it would say, they said they know it is an electrical issue because the motor is working to take it up 1/3 of the way. Any advice? I am stuck.
The motor is working but most likely it does not have enough grunt to get the top all the way up.... unless you have a hydraulic piston issue (very unlikely) then the motor it bad.
Have someone grab the top and give it some assist from the moment it starts coming up and see if it will go through full travel. If so, the motor or pump is not strong enough. Some electric motors have an internal circuit breaker that will cut out if the motor draws too much current. Try letting it sit for a few minutes when it quits and see if it will continue, or if you hear the motor try to run for a second. Not sure if these have an internal breaker or not, but you would still replace the motor.
I have tried to assist it, and regardless it always stops in the same spot. After letting it sit, it settles slowly and when I try to raise it again it always goes back to the same spot (1/3) of the way up. I have tried putting the top up manually and the using the motor to lock it in place, and that does not work either. The dealer stated that it had to be electrical since the motor took it up 1/3 of the way w/ plenty of power, I realize that they could be wrong.I'd hate to spend the money on a motor, and it still not work.
Replaced the Motor
I replaced the motor and am still getting the same result. I also powered up the motor driectly from the battery, bypassing all sensors and it went up all of the way. Therefore I know it is not a motor or a hydraulic problem.
Any advice would be very helpful.
I have the same problem!
1 Attachment(s)
Just checking to see if you figured out the problem yet. My 2007 Z4 just started doing the same thing.
Using Shipkiller's instructions (thanks from a fellow bubblehead) I pulled the top out of the car. Motor and pump were perfect (I live in a desert), even bench tested strong. Checked roof compartment microswitch-works correctly.
Don't know how to test the Hall sensors but don't know how they could be the problem since the stoppage occurs midway through the travel length and the Hall sensors only kick in at the end of each direction in order to stop the motor at the right time.
However, something seems to know the position of the top since, like you said, it will jump back up to the 1/3 position after the hydraulic pressure bleeds off a bit and the top drops back an inch or two. This was repeatable many times when I continued to hold the "up" botton as the top slowly dropped and would jump back up to the 1/3 position.
I'm tempted to just get a new top control module, but hate to waste $300 to test a theory, especially since I don't know what device is telling the control module the position of the top midway through its travel length. PFM! :mad:
Kugamon - Beer is good food! :drink:
2007 Z4 3.0Si
Try lubricating all of the joints in the top. Mine would not get started without a "push" when trying to lower the top.
I opened it up to a point where I could get to all of the rivets that hold it together, and put some light sewing machine oil at each pivot point. Raised and lowered it a couple of times and it works fine now.
I think the motor has only so much power. over time the joints get tight or get dust in them. Easy enough to try.
Something more than that.
Yup, did the lube thing. When I bench tested it out of the car and applied a straight DC supply to the motor it went through the full travel length nice and strong. It stops at that 1/3 position as if there is some position sensor stopping it at that particular spot. When the oil pressure bleeds off a bit and the top drops back down an inch or so, the motor kicks back in and drives the top back up tp that dang 1/3 open position and stops. Won't go up or down again until the oil pressure bleeds off a bit again. Then it will either go all the way down or up to the 1/3 open position. Screwy thing.
I'm an engineer. I feel I am supposed to be able to figure this stuff out. Eventually I will! Another beer or three and I can solve the worlds problems! If only.
Thanks for the good ideas.
Update on Top not going up
Here's the latest update on the top issue. Finally took it down to the local BMW dealer to investigate. They say their diagnostics indicate a short somewhere in the electrical harness for the top. OK, sounds reasonable, and could provide the answer to my confusion on why it stops where it does and then starts working again after moving down a bit. The harness is around $65 and will take a few hours for them to replace (that's where the big expense comes in, of course) but I'm pretty much tired of messing with it at this point. The car has been otherwise absolutely trouble-free for the the three years I have owned it so I certainly don't mind spending some cash on it for this, provided it is the cure.
I will report back on how the fix goes.
Finally fixed!
OK, that was the problem. The wiring harness for controlling the top was bad. After repalcement, the top functions perfectly. Who-da-thunk? Thanks to everyone for the good suggestions!
Wiring harness short?
Hi Kugamon,
Do you remember the exact name/part no. for that wiring harness? My car just had the same problem as yours. I changed the motor and the top went up to 1/3.
Let me know. Thanks
Wiring Harness Part #
I pulled the invoice for that job. I'm not sure how much of this number is the actual part #, but here is what it sez.
54-34-7-043-906 Cable Harness Folding Top: 54999934
Part was only $56.11 but the labor was $430.50. The harness just didn't look that difficult to replace, but I guess dealerships have high overheads to account for.
Hope this helps you get your top up!:D
Top Wiring Harness Indeed
I finally had some free time to replace the wiring harness (PN: 54-34-7-043-906) for my top after confirming it was not the motor. I called several dealers in my area and none came close to $56.11. They were ~$ 120 :) I ordered online for about $95. I guess the price was increased due to inflation or something like that.
Anyways, I replaced the harness myself and RTV the motor housing as well to prevent water problem in the future. The top works like a champ now.
Million thanks to Shipkiller for his detailed instructions and million thanks to Kugamon for providing me that part number.
It's time to sell my never-used motor :) I bought it at the dealer for $409. It's now $350 if you want to purchase it. I can't return because dealer said it is an electronic part.

|the original purpose is 1 of 2 things.... windows run firewall, or ICS (internet connection sharing).. so you can disable the whole service package under controlpanel/admistrative tools/services"windowsfirewall/ICS" if you have your own firewall and an external router. if you are using windows firewall or are using the machin as an internet gateway for other machines, then leave it on. it is possible it could become corrupted, never seen it in the wild though Delta-9
|Ben Dover is wrong. On his link it is said that some internet worm DELETES alg.exe. This surely does not mean that alg is a worm. Of course it is possible that a parasite can have any name, including alg.exe, but Ben's link shows no evidence of that. marginal
|If you have a firewall you can turn ALG off in the "services.msc" in the run command. Though only turn off stuff that you know you don't need. Turn the wrong stuff off and you'll have to reinstall OS from scratch. leviathan

|Since disabling alg.exe, transfers to clicked links in web pages is much faster - almost no delay. Also, my FTP connections to my web servers is much faster indeed. I've experienced no problems at all with it disabled, only good. My advice would be give it a try - you can always enable it again if needed. Rinkidink
|I disabled this process using the control panel an security center (it is windows firewall) but it comes back in task manager. I then went into control panel and administrative tools and disabled it in the services folder(application layer gateway).I had no problem after that. catalac

|It's part of windows inbuild firewall, in XP if you are not using the windows firewall you can kill this safely will no ill effects and the net connectivity will still work (at least mine does).

|On a windows XP system, the worm msrv32.exe hides itself within WINDOWS\System32\ and hijacks your internet. It creates a service by the name of 'Application Layer Gateway' and can easily be mistaken for this legit service. (Explanation: Its missing the word 'Service' in the description name.) James

|Alg.exe can be terminated to run and have no adverse effects. Run msconfi go to services and untick it, I still have M S firewall running and all is well with the world Tio Sam
|ALG is the firewall support at application level. The one that provide firewall support per application in addition to standard firewall IP, protocol and port blocking. It is required and automatically activated and deactivated by the Windows firewall. If you use third party firewall, just disable the Windows firewall and the ALG won't be activated. Otherwise it is important in order to provide basic firewall for your system. XT-Man

|There is nothing bad or malicious about this program. It. is: Application Layer Gateway service. Its used to forward application internet requests onto the ICS host, usually 192.168.0.1.

|Set Alg to manual so your system only uses it if it needs it. Microsoft thought it would be smart to keep it running instead of simply invoking it when needed.

|The alg.exe executable allows applications (such as IM clients, RTSP, BitTorrent, SIP, and FTP) from a client computer to dynamically utilize passive TCP/ UDP ports in communicating with known ports on a server. This allows software to access applications that reside on another computer even if there is a firewall. Now if you don't know what i just said....basically...its a windows process that should not be touched, if you want your aim, or yahoo, or torrent to keep working. However if you've disabled it. It will execute again when you start you Instant messenger, torrent program, etc Level1Human
