Carbonear's Capt. Paul Rodgers had a strong love for riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
The 64-year-old did not purchase his first bike until he was in his 50s, and he was making up for lost time.
"It was something he always wanted to do," his eldest son Chris said of his dad's decision to purchase a motorcycle.
It was this love of riding that brought Paul out for a second run on a cool evening on June 23. Paul and his wife Kay had just returned from a run up the North Shore of Conception Bay to purchase flowers for the couple's garden.
The pair returned home and planted the flowers. That finished and dinner completed, Paul set out on his trusty "hog" again as the sun was beginning its final descent across the sky.
There was a slight wind, nothing powerful enough to dissuade any biker from taking advantage of the evening.
Seasoned bikers would say it was the perfect night for a ride.
"Dad wanted to get another run in before dark," said Chris.
Firing up the engine, Paul set off again for the North Shore. This time, however, it would be his last.
On his way back he was struck by the driver of a white pickup truck on Neck Road in Victoria.
Witnesses say the truck swerved into Paul's lane and the two collided head-on. He was taken to hospital, but later succumbed to his injuries.
The tragedy has left a gaping hole in Paul Rodgers' family, and he will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
"He did everything he could for us," Paul's son, Chris, told The Compass on Wednesday. "He loved mom, his children and his grandchildren."
"Dad also loved riding the bike," he added.
A prominent seaman
Paul began working on boats in his teens. He started as a steward before progressing up the ranks.
Paul was first mate on vessels with his father Maxwell and eventually Paul became the skipper aboard Marine Atlantic ferries.
"Dad worked up from the bottom," said Chris.
He began captaining vessels going up the Labrador coast. When the company cut back some of its runs, Paul became the captain of the MV Caribou, ferrying passengers from this province to the mainland across the Cabot Strait.
In 2006, he retired from his position with Marine Atlantic. But, that was not the end of his seafaring.
Paul would become the captain of the MV Northern Ranger, guiding it along the Labrador coast. He also did some pilot work.
Paul made numerous contacts during his years and was known as an excellent ship handler. When a company needed a vessel safely guided into Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Paul was often called upon for his expertise.
"Dad did that in the summers and spent time with family in the fall and winter," said Chris.
Prior to his passing, Paul had declined a job offer to pilot a ship.
"Dad said he was going to give it up when he turned 65," said Chris. "He was going to spend time with his family."
A strong man
Chris describes his father as a tenacious man. It is a fitting moniker when you consider Paul courageously fought off cancer twice in his lifetime, even travelling for chemotherapy sessions by himself as not to burden his family.
First, there was prostate, which was followed by a bought of colon cancer.
"He was a very strong man," said Chris.
A family man
Paul loved to travel. The couple took many cruises together.
Motorcycles were not Paul's only passion. He also loved cars, in particular Camaros.
Paul had just purchased a new one and was set to enjoy that.
"Dad had so much left to do," said Chris.
A funeral service for Capt. Paul Rodgers is scheduled for Friday, June 27 at 2 p.m. from Bethany United Church in Carbonear.

NextGen Alternative Aviation Fuel Development
NextGen Alternative Aviation Fuel Development
By 2025, U.S. air traffic is predicted to have more than doubled compared to current levels, and our present air traffic control system will not be able to manage this growth. The solution? All eyes are looking to the Next Generation Air Traffic System (NextGen), a transformation of both our National Airspace System and system of airports that uses the latest technologies to ensure that future safety, capacity, and environmental needs are met.
The NextGen vision was developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Joint Planning and Development Office, which facilitates interagency cooperation, and will be realized through coordinated efforts of the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Commerce, as well as the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
At USDOT, a major component of the FAA's NextGen implementation plan is the rapid advancement of technologies that will mitigate the impact of aviation on the environment. A priority focus is the development of alternative aviation fuels, and RITA's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Cambridge, MA, has been fully engaged in this endeavor. In 2008, the Volpe Center supported two main alternative aviation fuel initiatives: the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) and the Alternative Aviation Fuel X PRIZE Roadmap.
CAAFI was established to enhance energy security and environmental sustainability for aviation by exploring the potential use of alternative fuels. CAAFI, through regular summits, workshops, panel meetings, publications, and its website (http://www.caafi.org/), provides a forum for the U.S. commercial aviation community to engage the emerging alternative fuels industry and to work together, share and collect needed data, and motivate and direct research on aviation alternative fuels. CAAFI is aimed at promoting the development of alternative fuel options that offer equivalent levels of safety and compare favorably with petroleum-based jet fuel on cost and environmental bases, with the specific goal of enhancing the security of energy supply. The Volpe Center provided CAAFI with several leading alternative aviation fuel experts and extensive workshop logistics support.
Most recently, CAAFI representatives took part in a flight test organized by CAAFI sponsors-Continental Airlines, Boeing, General Electric, and others. During the test, a 50 percent blend of hydrotreated renewable jet (HRJ) fuel, derived from jatropha plant stock and algae feedstock, powered one of two engines on a Continental 737-800.
Also during FY 2008, the Volpe Center led efforts to bring the X PRIZE model of innovative technology development to the area of alternative aviation fuels by establishing a working relationship with the X PRIZE Foundation of Los Angeles, CA, that will culminate in the Alternative Aviation Fuel/PRIZE Roadmap. (The mission of the X PRIZE Foundation is to bring about radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity- creating and managing prizes that drive innovators to solve some of the greatest challenges facing the world today.) With the project Roadmap set to be in place by October 2009, this initiative will offer substantial fi nancial and public relations incentives to industry and academic participants to develop a viable, environmentally friendly alternative to aviation fossil fuel.

Today is the last day I focus on Irish after doing so for a whole month. That may not sound like much, but for me it is – I tend to flit from language to language and rarely spend very long on any one of them. Every day, with only a few exceptions, I've written something in Irish on my other blog and recorded it. There were a few days last week when I didn't find time to write something, but I caught up later. I've also been listening to Raidió na Gaeltachta (Irish language radio) every day, and spent last week in Ireland speaking a lot of Irish. My ability to speak and write Irish has improved, and I think that the practice of writing in it every day made a big contribution to that. My listening has also improved. From tomorrow I will be focusing on Scottish Gaelic, and might continue writing in Irish, as well as Scottish Gaelic and English, on my blog, so that I keep it ticking over.
I know other people have probably had these thoughts, but I have come to the conclusion that regular use of a language you're learning in writing and speech is possibly the best way to improve. When learning languages I tend to spend a lot of time listening to and reading, so I am usually a lot better at those skills than at speaking and writing. The way I've done it also gives me chances to practise speaking, or at least reading aloud.
Do you try to actively use languages you're learning as you learn them? Does this help?

Marguerite Marceau Henderson embarked on her culinary career in 1980 by teaching cooking classes at a local cook store, after living in Europe for over 3 years, incorporating her love of food and wine and her degree in Elementary Education. She has gradually built a reputation in Salt Lake City for having over 28 years experience as a cooking educator, caterer, restaurateur, food writer, cookbook author, public speaker, television personality, and food consultant.
Over the past 28 years she has had a catering business feeding such personalities as President George Bush (the First), Senator Robert Dole, Martha Stewart, Robert Redford, and hundreds of clients throughout the state of Utah.
Having opened two successful restaurants, she sold the award winning and charming Cucina, a gourmet deli in the Avenues neighborhood of Salt Lake City in 2001, and began writing cookbooks, restaurant reviews for local newspapers and magazines, and back to her first love - teaching cooking classes, once again.
Marguerite authored and self published Savor the Memories, a best-selling cookbook dedicated to her Sicilian born mother, Rose Filippi Marceau, an inspiration to Marguerite's culinary endeavors. Her much anticipated second cookbook, Small Plates - Appetizers as Meals, was released in March 2006, published by Gibbs Smith Publishing and is now in its third printing. Marguerite's third cookbook, Small Parties – Over 100 Recipes for Intimate Gatherings, also published by Gibbs Smith, has just been released in January 2008. Marguerite is currently working on her fourth cookbook, Small Sweet Indulgences, published by Gibbs Smith with release date scheduled for Fall 2011.
Her individually developed recipes are legendary, and are created for such companies as SuperTarget, The Ruby Red Grapefruit Council, and The California Cheese Board. She recently consulted with an eating establishment in Salt Lake City called The Neighborhood Grill and Pizza, formulating new menus and recipes.
In 2004, Utah Business Magazine, highlighting her entrepreneurial spirit in the community, named Marguerite one of Salt Lake City's 30 Women Visionaries and was honored at a luncheon given by Utah Business Magazine and their supporters.
She volunteered hours in the Volunteers of America's local Women and Children's Center, teaching the joys of fresh produce and their use in the kitchen to residents of the center.
She is a member of NAWBO (National Associations of Women Business Owners), IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals), WCR (Women Chefs and Restaurateurs) and as a sustainer in The Junior League of Salt Lake, for whom she was editor and advisor on their last two cookbooks, A Pinch of Salt Lake and Always in Season.
Marguerite's infectious love of food and years of expertise in the kitchen has created a demand at speaking engagements throughout the state, imparting valuable tips and hints on easy and elegant entertaining, giving live cooking demonstrations for groups both large and small, and as a guest instructor at cooking schools and cookshops in numerous cities throughout the area, from Phoenix to Portland.

After I saw guest "Adam" posting on the BBQ board today, I had a strange thought. There was a M*A*S*H episode where Hawkeye had ribs delivered to Korea from a place called Adam's Ribs. I started to wonder if the place was for real.
I didn't know the details so I performed a search of the internet and found that the place on the show was supposedly in Chicago and located beside the Dearborn Street Station.
Some joker claims the place exists in Joliet and posted a bogus address to the newsgroup. It doesn't exist there. But I found the address for an Adam's Rib in Riverdale, another Chicago suburb but not near Joliet.
Does anyone know if this is the Adam's Ribs from M*A*S*H? Are Adam's Ribs really good enough to have delivered halfway around the world? I figure if anyone knows the answers, it is someone on a BBQ board.

Although there are some differences between the two, condominiums ("condos") and cooperatives ("co-ops") are both ownership interests in real property that relieve the owner from hassles such as maintaining a home: cutting and watering the lawn, painting the exterior, and shoveling snow, for example. So, they're appealing to all sorts of individuals, like young professionals with busy work schedules and seniors who no longer need or want a big house.
In many cities, there's usually a good market for condos and co-ops. But, whether you're buying or selling a condo or co-op, there are some things that you'll have to think about, research and ask about that you normally wouldn't have to if you were buying or selling a house.
Condo vs. Co-op
Generally, in both condos and co-ops, you live in your own separate space, usually called a "unit," and you share the use of "common" areas, such as hallways, parking lots and recreational facilities. The major differences between the two lie in what you actually "own" and how they are managed.
In a condo, you actually own the space inside your unit. You are free to do just about anything you like to it: paint, renovate, even tear down walls. You're responsible for maintenance inside the unit. So, if your furnace fails, it's your responsibility. You usually can't do anything to the outside of the unit, such paint or even landscape.
Condos are managed by a "homeowners'" association. They collect a monthly fee from you and use the funds to maintain the property.
In a co-op, you don't "own" your unit. You own shares of stock in the cooperative, which allow you to lease an apartment or unit for as long as you own the stock. You're very limited on what you can do to the interior of your unit, but you don't have to worry about maintenance. Typically, if the heat goes out, the co-op's maintenance crew will fix the problem.
Co-ops are run by a board of directors. It not only collects monthly maintenance fees and uses it to maintain the property, but it also decides who can live in the co-op by deciding who can by stock.
Tips on Buying & Selling
If you're thinking about buying or selling a condo or co-op, there are literally dozens of things you need to research, ask about, or be ready to explain about the property, such as:
- How much are the maintenance fees for repairs and upkeep? Remember, these fees are in addition to your mortgage payment, so make sure you can actually afford the unit.
- How much are property taxes? A condo's property taxes are based on the unit, while a co-op's taxes are based upon the entire complex. So, there can be huge differences in the amount you'll be able to afford.
- Is the co-op at or near full capacity, or are there a lot of vacancies? If there are vacancies, no one's paying a share of the taxes for those units, and so your property taxes might be higher to make-up the difference.
- Is the building old and in need of repairs? If so, a co-op's maintenance fees might be high, and increased over time, to make the repairs. If it's a condo, the homeowners association might charge you extra fees ("special assessments") to make the repairs.
- Are there any outstanding fees owed by the seller? Condo homeowners' associations and co-op boards of directors can usually take a lien against the unit for failing to pay monthly maintenance fees or special assessments, and so either the seller or buyer will have to pay the fees before any sale can take place.
- What kind of property insurance does the condo or co-op carry? Usually, their insurance covers only the building and common areas, so you'll probably have to buy extra insurance to cover your personal property inside the unit, like your clothes and furniture.
- Are you in an area where natural disasters are common, such as hurricanes or tornados? Check to see if the condo association or cooperative's insurance covers them, and if not, look into buying that insurance yourself.
- Are there any rules, which usually come in the form of "bylaws" or "covenants, conditions, and restrictions ("CC&Rs"), that limit or restrict how a buyer can use the premises, like "no pets," or "no remodeling without approval?" If so, and you're the buyer, make sure you can live with the restrictions, If you're the seller, be prepared for negative reactions from buyers.
- If you're selling a co-op, are there any restrictions on if, when, and to whom you can sell your shares in the cooperative? You might not be able to sell to your potential buyer. If you're the buyer, are there restrictions on your ability to rent your co-op to someone else ("sublet" or "sublease").
- How are you going to finance the purchase? Buying a condo is like buying a house, because you're actually dealing with an interest in real property that is deeded to the buyer, so conventional mortgages are possible, making it easier for buyers and sellers alike. Co-ops, on the other hand, aren't interests in real property (there's no deed), and so mortgages are not available. Rather, a buyer takes out a loan to pay for the co-op stock, and the lender holds the stock as security for repayment on the loan. Such transactions can make the deal more difficult for both parties.
Questions for Your Attorney
- If someone is injured on common property of my condo or co-op complex, and the injured person sues the complex, can I be held liable in any way?
- If sell my condo or co-op, do I have to leave the appliances, like refrigerator and washer and dryer, even I paid for them after I moved in?
- I am allowed to sell my shares in a co-op, but the board of directors is trying set my selling price, and it's so high that I can't sell it to the person I want to (my brother)? Can the board do that?

UnNews talk:Hillary Clinton crowns herself Queen of America
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
This is a bold move for Hillary. The neighbors to the North (Kanadianz) are still required to have the British Crown ratify all of their laws so having a queen as a neighbour isn't an issue for them. Unfortunately ancient royal tradition includes marital infidelity so she may be ousted from THAT club out of sheer anal-retentiveness.

How exactly is it that there's a white and black pair of Air Jordan XI Lows that isn't referred to as 'Concord Lows'? That's simply because the original AJXI Low that released in 1996 wasn't the patent leather version (that actually premiered in 2001), but rather the Air Jordan 11 IE Low. And this pair gets as close to the beloved Concord Elevens as the IE's design will allow, a look so satisfying and significant to the series that we're surprised it's only being released here in 2011 (July, to be exact). Click through to see a fresh round of close-ups and grab a pair early from RMKStore.

Great looking floor for the price point!
By Colt
from Seattle,WA
Great looking floor and fairly easy to install. Make sure to inspect all pieces as milling marks can be very hard to see along with finish issues. I have a couple pieces on the floor the snuck by but still looks great. Color variation is light to dark. I just put it down random and it came out great. Floor looks awesome and now plan to do some upstairs. Minor scratches can be sanded out with much change in finish with 600 wet/dry sandpaper. Too early to tell how durable it is but maple by nature is a hardwood.

Priced appropriately, not bad but...
By Bashed Thumbs
from Ipswich, MA
This floor went in well although the smaller width makes the job much longer as there are more courses to lay. Most boards were well cut, but the were some milling/QC errors that caused me a headache. Some boards were different widths by a small amount and when the next course was laid across them, small diagonal gaps opened up the couldn't be pulled or pounded shut. Fixing meant ripping up the previous coarse, wasting time and board-feet. Laying subsequent boards meant checking the width as well as length for fit and added another decision for each board which added anther step to the flow and delayed the finish. If you are careful about cutting, you can get away with a 5% overage and not 10-20% as LL recommended to me when I picked it up. I hope that I can return the 2 un-opened bundles without the 20% restocking fee on my 440 sqft job that I was talked into getting 500 sqft for. That said, there were some significant boards to discard that should have never made it past QC. Warped (boomarang), and twisted boards can't can't be pulled down or in as easily as the bowed ones. There were many boards with manufacturing/machinery scars (not natural blemishes like knot grain hollows) in them that should not have been included. I cut most of these out and used the boards on the ends or hid them in the closet, but still... Premium quality and high price point should have prevented this. Hardness was also not up to expectations. My 80 pound dog EASILY scratches this floor and didn't on in my last house with similar prefinished floors. I expected some scratching, but these floors are quite soft. Perhaps not as many coats of poly = cheaper price?... Premade transitions were pretty bulky and you can save yourself the expense by ripping the tongue and bottom off, setting an angle on one of the floor boards. Match the back up with a 90 degree cut and it looks much better than their clunky transition. This only works for matching to a lower height unless you put a small bead on the leading edge, but i didn't need to do this.
Beautiful floors
By smtucker
from boston area, ma
I was delighted to find the flooring I had chosen on sale when I returned to the store to place the actual order. We upgraded from Maple Select to Maple Natural and it was still less per sq. foot. The entire floor has not yet been laid, but what is down looks very good.There is more variation in the color in the actual floor box than on the sample in the store, so I am especially pleased that we were able to upgrade. I reduced the score by one star to account for this discrepancy [...]

Created attachment 669654 [details] screenshot of the problem I turned on OMTC in a self-built Linux Nightly from today, using the steps in http://mozillagfx.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/how-to-help-testing-off-main-thread-compositing/ (I had layer acceleration on for a while already, and it's looking quite good, so I was happy to step to the next level of testing). I have MemChaser installed, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/QA/Automation_Services/Projects/Addons/MemChaser - and when looking at its output in the add-ons bar, which updates frequently, I tend to see the updated text being painted over the previous one. I have also seen this in other places randomly, like the summary input box of this very bug - and I have even seen the same effect on B2G on my otoro (AFAIK we're using OMTC there as well, right?) - but I haven't seen this on Nightly when OMTC is not activated. Interestingly, it looks a lot to me like the problem only happens in when the window is active - when the focus is on a window of my screen shot tool, for example, or on an unfocused window I have on a secondary screen, the update of the MemChaser info is always drawing correctly and not showing this effect. It also snaps back to being clean when I unfocus the window. The attached screen shot shows the problem, I very much think that my usage of my own theme (LCARStrek, available from AMO) is not directly connected with the problem, esp. since I'm seeing it randomly even within web content like the mentioned input field here, on B2G, and only with OMTC but not without.

Created attachment 672592 [details] B2G screenshot - browser, top sites I believe that the intermittent B2G rendering problem I see on my otoro device is the same thing, here also the active pane and fast drawing something new does not do away with the previous content, esp. text, while drawing the new content over it. Here is an example that I saw when scrolling/panning the top sites list in the browser somewhat fast.

As those graphics glitches happen in B2G as well and look pretty unprofessional, I think this should really be solved for basecamp - even if they go away again when causing graphics invalidation on the display in some way.

Key lock broken and battery flat!!!!
I bought an e46 sedan today and knew that the car lock was broken. The key could just lock the car but i guess it was not charged enough as i could no longer open it now! ( A few hours after)
Any idea how i can re-open the car?
Many thanks in advance,
you can open your trunk with the key and put the seats down and get in that way
Open trunk and get battery charged or jump the car?
Ebay for the door lock repair parts.
www.bmwgm5.com for info in case your GM5 module is questionable.
A E46 with only 1 keyfob is a dangerous thing!
Thank you guys for the reply. But can the rear seats of an e46 sedan go down from the back?
they can if you have fold down seats. They don't from inside the cabin.
Does the ignition have to be on for the key to be charging, or could I just leave it in overnight? I don't like to use the 2nd keyfob, as all the settings are different. Also, do you recommend charging the 2nd keyfob from time to time?
definitely recharge second fob from time to time. I would think ignition would have to be on to charge the key but my bentley is at work so i'd have to see a wiring diagram (not sure if it's even in the manual).
Will do then. Thanks
The settings are not stored in the keyfob, they are in car memory.
If you save your seat position the same for position 1 & 2 and set all other things the same then you will not see a difference between the keyfobs.
I think??? depending on how the car is coded, that radio station presets and climate control settings can be stored as well. Or at least the last climate control settings that were used may be recalled when the key is used?
It can be a bit of a PITA to get sorted, but as long as you are the sole driver it should not be too big of an issue.
First off, sorry to hijack the thread. Secondly, thanks for the advice. Great to learn new things about my car - even 10 years after!
FYI I've been locked out like that once and I called AAA to come open the car. The guy used one of those airbag wedges to get the driver door open enough to stick a metal rod in and and hit unlock.
To our surprise when he hit the button the car deadbolted into some sort of security mode. (apparently this has to do with a weight sensor in the seat recognizing that there's no one in the seat) He ended up leaving but I later discovered you have to hit the button multiple times and also lasso the drivers side door handle to get it.
I'm not sure the exact sequence but it was something like unlock button (center console) then lasso door and pull then unlock again..if anyone knows the exact sequence for the e46 security system it might be worth posting!
Some year cars might behave slight different, usually you need to push the center console button once, the pull the door handle.

Kim Gordon Debuts Fashion Collaboration With Surface To Air
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon is pretty much the godmother of post-punk, and one of the coolest and most stylish women around. So when we heard that she'd be collaborating on a fashion collection with chic French retailer Surface to Air, we couldn't wait to see it. Kim's designs don't disappoint. What does: their outrageous prices. Better start putting your pennies aside now. [Definitive Touch]

"When I saw the time on the clock, I thought we were going to have to punt that ball," Meyer said. "That's not to disrespect our players, but I know the way the game goes and everybody watching that ballgame knew we were going to run the ball."
Michigan State had two timeouts left, but all that stood between the Buckeyes and a win was a couple of first downs. Even with the play calls all but telegraphed, Meyer knew the Buckeyes had to, at the very least, run some time off the clock or force the Spartans to use one or both of their timeouts.
Given Meyer's high regard for the Michigan State defense – one he has since said was one of the top 10 units he's faced in his career – it was fair for Meyer to think the Spartans would get a stop to earn one final possession and a chance to win.
The offensive line looked at things differently. With the relentless criticism the unit had faced even before Meyer took the Ohio State job and brought in a new staff, the offensive line felt as if this was the stage to display its immense growth.
Respect is earned over time, sure. But junior left tackle Jack Mewhort realized he and the rest of his offensive line counterparts could prove a statement against perhaps the best defense the Buckeyes will face all year.
"I think last year hurt us a little bit," Mewhort admitted. "We got to redeem ourselves, pull ourselves back from that, and I know talking to all the guys that's our mind-set – that we've been kicked a lot and a lot of things have been said about us, and we need to pull ourselves out and grind every day and never become complacent."
If one drive can prove this isn't the same offensive line that has struggled at times, this was the one. Not only would the Buckeyes run the ball directly at the staunch Spartans defense, but success would mean a prolonged undefeated season and the biggest win of Meyer's short Ohio State career.
Running back Carlos Hyde took a handoff from Miller on first down and rushed for 7 yards. The next play, the Buckeyes went right back to the junior running back, and he gained another hard-fought 6 to move the chains for the first time.
The statement was made.
"We wanted them to know we could move the ball on them when it mattered," Hyde said. "We ended up doing it because the push on the offensive line was so good. They played well all day, but it was even better on that final drive."
Miller wasted no time picking up the Buckeyes' second first down on the drive, taking a designed keeper up the middle for a 14-yard gain. On the following play, Miller again kept it for a 6-yard gain, and Michigan State called timeout with 2:10 remaining.
After the 30-second break, Miller trotted back out knowing that Ohio State needed only 4 more yards to claim the victory. The quarterback, however, was stuffed for no gain, and the Spartans burned their final timeout at the 2:06 mark.
At the Michigan State 49 facing third-and- 4, Hyde churned out 5 yards to convert the first down. The game was over.
"The way our offensive line was playing, I was really confident we could do it," offensive coordinator Tom Herman said. "The way Braxton and Carlos were running the football, we felt really good about our chance to get three first downs. When we needed them the most, we got them."
With yet another big game coming up this week – a primetime affair with Nebraska under the lights in Ohio Stadium – the offensive line still has plenty of work to do. But given the way the unit has meshed together after losing three multi-year starters after last year, the signs of growth are tangible.
"I think during camp the offense starting clicking and guys were getting better every day," Mewhort said. '"We lost three starters in Mike (Adams), Michael (Brewster) and J.B. (Shugarts), but the guys that came in and are playing now are great players and we're really jelling well and we're getting better every day. We're real excited about the places we're going."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My fiance is currently incarcerated in a California state prison. He has two separate cases which involve restitution. He would like to merge them together if possible so that he can just make one payment as opposed to two. I am just wondering if this is possible and if there is a form that needs to be filled out to do so
Good question, but I think the answer is no because the restitution payments are made to the Superior Court for whatever county and then each county handles the money separately. I think the answer is no and I have never heard of restitution being consolidated. It also would be a headache for someone else, if receiving a consolidated payment, to then apportion out some sum to each county. Inevitably, they would bungle it.Ask a similar question
I appreciate your response and it makes a lot of sense
Mr. Hill is correct. This is a very good question. I have never encountered this issue in my practice. The purpose of restitution is to compensate the victim. So, if that is why your fiance wants to consolidate, the DA and the court should be amenable. However, Mr. Hill is also correct that administrative issues may trump good intentions. This is especially true if his cases are from separate courts.
The response above is not intended as legal advice. This response does not create an attorney-client relationship. Legal questions can only be fully answered through consultation with an attorney to whom you give full and accurate details. Anything you post here is not confidential and is not protected by the attorney-client relationship. It is highly recommended that you seek advice from a criminal defense attorney licensed in your jurisdiction by setting up a confidential meeting.Ask a similar question
Mr Hill and Mr, Wanermans answers answers are both correct, If the restitution is from separate county cases the burden to apportion payments between the victims would likely outweigh the need to write one check. The terms of probation on each case order restitution. Terms of probation are to pay restitution. If a government employee was lazy and didn't apportion but paid one victim only, they would have the ability to violate the terms of his probation by merely not paying one or the other victims proper restitution. I would never put that control in a government employees hands. Be safe and pay them separately. I know of no law that prevents consolidation but I would not do it for the reasons stated above. Good luck. Hope this helps?Ask a similar question

As it continues its global expansion, Vans announced today that it will be providing additional resources to its Americas region, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Latin America, and has appointed Doug Palladini to the newly created role of Vice President General Manager of the Americas. Vans is also looking to put in place a new head of marketing for the Americas and a new global head of marketing.
Serving for the past nine years in the company's global marketing department, Palladini helped build the brand by leading the production feature films, such as Pipeline Masters. He is also the Executive Producer of the Vans Warped Tour documentary, No Room for Rock Stars and author of the Vans tell-all coffee table "Off the Wall: Stories of Sole from Vans Originals."
"Doug's outstanding performance as our global marketing leader over the last nine years has prepared him to take on the new challenge and lead as he carves out a local strategy for the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Latin America regions," said Bailey. "He will build Vans' regional strategy and oversee execution, to continue to cultivate our business in the Americas."
We caught up with Palladini to learn more about the restructuring, how it will help the company continue to grow throughout the Americas and globally, and several initiatives he hopes to put in place in his new role.
What does your new role entail and what does this mean for Vans on a Global level?
Basically, for the past decade as we've grown, since 2004, Vans has quintupled in size globally. Five times growth in nine years has been pretty incredible. Here at headquarters, a lot of us have been running double duty, where we have not only global responsibility but also regional responsibility for the Americas, as well. We are just at the size and the scale now where w have to separate those. So much like we have Asia Pacific built into the region we call APAC, then we have Europe, Italy and East Africa built into a region we call the EMEA, we are doing the same thing now with the Americas and putting Canada, Mexico, Central and South America together into one region and then creating resources just to deal with that region and that's my job. I'm responsible for that region. We'll have marketing, product, retail, and wholesale just dedicated to the Americas region—people just working on that— and I'll be the general manager of that team.
We just got to the size where a lot of us who were doing double duty, we couldn't do it any longer. At the same time, on a global level, we've gone from being— for all intents and purposes— a California brand for the vast majority of the fifty years we've been in business, to a global brand where we are sold in 170 countries. So the global side of the business has massively grown as well. In order for us to be successful in the next decade, just as we have in the last decade, we have to structure appropriately and I think that's where this is coming from.
So your new role and this new structure is a mirror to what you are doing in Europe and internationally as a whole?
Exactly. Our structure now mirrors the other two main regions exactly, so we really link up quite well. Now when the Global Head of Footwear needs to boil down his thinking he can go to three people: The GM for Americas, the GM for APAC, the GM For EMEA, and he's got a global view; he's heard from all three regions in terms of what he needs to develop. The same thing with marketing, and the same thing with apparel. That's really going to be the benefit in this case. We've also been really, really focused on being a globally consistent brand and making sure the product and the marketing we produce in every country is significantly consistent and focused everywhere you go. We are finally at the point where we have that, and we have to work hard now to maintain that as we build our business out, especially in the new places. We didn't have a business in Asia four years ago and now we have 500 stores in China alone. We've globalized our brand in a very short time.
Now that you are shifting your focus to concentrate on this piece of the business, who will be taking over your previous responsibilities in within the marketing department? Will you be promoting someone from within?
One of our favorite things to do is to give people who already work on the Vans business an opportunity for advancement, but that never precludes us from looking outside as well. We have a pretty even mix. There are about 85 people who work in the Vans marketing department, and when there's new jobs we have a pretty even mix of people getting promoted internally and pulling in new talent from the outside, so we'll do both for sure. We'll be looking at both a head of marketing for the Americas and a new global head of marketing, as well, and Kevin [Bailey] and I will work together to identify the right people for those roles.
What is your's and the brand's vision on the future of boardsports, and the transition and/or merge we are seeing between boardsports and youth lifestyle? Where does Vans strategy fit in?
I think we have been leader in that transformation to be honest. I think we benefit from the fact that we have one foot in each pond. Action sports will always be the history and the spine of the body of our brand. There's no doubt. We'll never lose our focus on being a leading action sports brand, but action sports is only one of the four cultural pillars that we identify as the Vans brand. Art, music, and street culture are the other three, and those all have equal amount of importance. All our authenticity and heritage comes from the fact that the kids from Dogtown started wearing Vans to skate in back in the early 70s, and we'll never forget that. We will always over invest in skateboarding and surfing and the places that we came from to maintain what we've built. We won't make that mistake again. It wasn't too long ago where you couldn't even find a pair of Vans at a good skate shop. We had completely lost our way. Now, I would argue that we are the number one or number two brand at almost every skateboard shop in the world. So we are never going to give up on that—that will remain a consistent, ongoing focus, but those other three pillars are really, really important.
When you look at opening a market in China, when you think about opening a market in let's say Costa Rica or in Montreal, Canada, if all you are talking about is skateboarding it limits what you can do. I think we have really great stories to tell about our role in music, our role in art, and our role in fashion and street culture as well, that we can draw upon. I think those are all so interrelated anyway—those four pillars are so mutually exclusive they completely feed off each other. You know that from the world we live in. You know how important music is for surfers, you know how important art is for skateboarders, I think they all work in unison to create broader opportunity the for Vans business and for our peer brands as well.
It's that constant rededication to the spine of the body that enables you to go further outside— it's not walking away from it, it's over-dedicating yourself to it. You are not substituting one for the other; it's the "and" not the "or."
How will Vans continue to stay authentic and "core" when the brand is gearing up to experience even more growth?
One of the really important points of consistency that will you see everywhere on the wall from us is our market model where we employ product segmentation by sales channel. Where you see that most is in where Vans are sold. There's not a lot of brands that can be successful in Fred Segals, Supreme and Undefeated, at the same time as their successful in Journey's, PacSun, Tilly's and Zumiez, at the same time they are successsful in Kohl's, JCPenney. Vans is unique and is able to do that because we understand that the consumer shopping in Supreme wants something different than the consumer shopping in JC Penney, but our brand can product can be as important in each of these accounts by presenting the right product and the right messages around it. By segmenting our products the way we model our market opportunity we do the same thing all over the world.
I think that's going to be really important to maintain that discipline. I think that's really what it is—discipline. I think you see, unfortunately a lot of brands make short term decisions in order to reach short term financial objectives that create long term damage to their brand. I'm really proud of the team here at Vans that has remained disciplined to long term thinking and long term gains, not what we've gotta do this month to make our number. Every time I see an action sports product in Costco, a stab of pain goes through my heart. I'm not picking on anybody in particular, but the commoditization of our brands will be the death of our brands. When price becomes the number one factor in a consumer's mind when they are thinking about our brands, we are dead in the water. Our investment at Vans comes from the way we tell the stories of our brand, it's the content we create and the way we show up in stores. You've seen how much money, time, energy, and resources we put into the build outs that go into all of our key accounts, because we think we can sell on the strength of our brand not on the commodity type things like price. I think you will see that really drive our business everywhere we go.
Another key enabler to our growth is global consistency. It wasn't that long ago that you would go country to country on a global trip and see different versions of our brand everywhere you went. Different product, different marketing messages, the whole shebang. Now you see a very consistant, cohesive message in the form of product on the floor, segmentation, and marketing message. from South Korea, to Beijing, Sau Paulo, Montreal —everywhere you go you will see a very consistent, cohesive message about what our brand stands for. That's made a big, big difference.
What will be the first key initiatives you zero in on in this new role?
I think that solidifying the structure will be critical. The product merchandising people in the Americas that I was talking about don't exist today. That's a new part of the structure that we didn't have before. So my first job is to give the Americas regions the resources it requires. We are really focused on the same goals as the rest of the world: geographic expansion and connecting that Off the Wall message with creative self expression. Everywhere we go, we have consistant goals that apply everywhere and they will apply to the Americas equally. We've been a California brand for most of the fifty years we've been in business, and to now see the possibilities that have been afforded us by VF's resources to grow globally is pretty tremendous. Geographic expansion for Vans means going to the Midwest and the South of the US, and it also means going all the way to the top of Canada and all the way down to the southern tip of South America with our business as well. We think the consumer who is motivated by creative self expression exists in all those places. We are going to find them and make sure they know what we are about, and make sure we create fans out of them.
We are so fortunate that we are really building on success and fortunate that we get to work on this brand. This brand has been on life-support several times and the fact that it lives on speaks to the quality and caliber of the fans this brand has. Now we are in a position to say thank you and give those people more of what they are asking for and that's really fun.
What always sticks with us as employees here is whenever you meet someone new and tell them where you work , you get an incredible story about Vans and see people's eyes light up, that is awesome. If you are selling toothpaste, if you are marketing car tires, you are probably not experiencing that as much as you are if you tell someone your work for Vans. Even people you would least expect, when they find out what you do, they have the best stories. When I talk about Vans being a brand of fans and not a brand of consumers, that's what I'm talking about. That's what keeps us humble and keeps us engaged here everyday. That' what inspired me to name that book "Stories of Sole" because so many people I meet have such inspiring stories. I'm very thankful for that and I never lose sight of the opportunity I've been given.

Judas Priest Unveil Clip of New Song 'Dragonaut'
Judas Priest have just unleashed another taste of their 17th studio album, 'Redeemer of Souls.'
Judas Priest have just unleashed another taste of their 17th studio album, 'Redeemer of Souls.'
Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford and guitarists Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner offer even more exciting insight into 'Redeemer of Souls.'
The festival's inaugural year promises whisky, bourbon and "gourmet man food" along with massive acts such as Judas Priest, Korn and Kid Rock.
Judas Priest have been unveiling a steady stream of previews and full versions of songs from their upcoming album 'Redeemer of Souls,' which will be released July 8...
The latest musicians to play our signature game are Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and Richie Faulkner of the legendary Judas Priest!
Praise the metal gods! We've got a new track snippet from Judas Priest's epic new album 'Redeemer of Souls.' This new piece is from 'Halls of Valhalla', the upcoming album's third track.
This year's Fun Fun Fun Fest has just been announced to take place Nov.7-9 at Auditorium Shores and Butler Park, and Judas Priest have been announced as festival headliners while the almighty King Diamond will also play a rare live show.
Great news to report! Judas Priest have just unleashed the first official single from the upcoming album, 'Redeemer of Souls.' After exclusively teasing the track on Loudwire last week, the full version of 'March of the Damned' is now available for your listening pleasure and will likely leave you drooling for more new Priest anthems.
Early Judas Priest guitarist Ernie Chataway has reportedly passed away at the age of 62. The sad news was announced by original Judas Priest vocalist Al Atkins.
Judas Priest are soon to come back extremely strong with 'Redeemer of Souls' on July 15, but right now, iconic vocalist Rob Halford is focusing on his health. The Metal God will soon undergo surgery to take care of an umbilical hernia that looks like "the alien just burst forth!"

BEEF from old cows previously labelled ''budget'' by some supermarkets and butchers in NSW will have to carry the qualification ''low quality'' or ''low grade'' under a bill passed through the lower house.
As much as 30 per cent of the beef sold in Australia at any given time is believed to be from cows aged anywhere between 3½ and 12 years old, and of an inferior quality for many cooking methods. Yet the absence of a meaningful grading system means consumers have little way of telling the true quality of the meat they are buying.
Under the existing Voluntary Beef Retail Agreement, such meat - including that derived from dairy cows too old for breeding - is permitted to be sold by retailers in the form of cuts such as rump, scotch fillet and T-bone as long as it is labelled ''budget''.
But the NSW independent MP Richard Torbay said the practice was misleading consumers and needed reform. ''It has been described as a lucky dip, where consumers buy meat one week that is tender and delicious and then the next week they buy the product under the same label and it is tough and tasteless,'' Mr Torbay said. ''The system has no teeth.''
Mr Torbay accused the Red Meat Advisory Council of reneging on an earlier agreement to support the reforms and instead lobby politicians to withdraw their support for the bill, despite 11 months of negotiations with the industry.
But the secretary of the council, Justin Toohey, said it was Mr Torbay who had reneged on the deal, having promised to leave the issue of grading to the industry to self-regulate. Amendments, including the clarification of the label ''budget'', were only introduced in the last few weeks, leaving no time to negotiate.
''We accept the budget label has been misused by some retailers,'' said Mr Toohey, who is lobbying for the term ''budget grade'' to be used instead of ''low quality'' or ''low grade''.
''The word low has very negative connotations and producers don't want that,'' he said. ''Just because it's from old cow beef, it doesn't necessarily mean poor quality. It just needs to be cooked differently.''
But Rod Polkinghorne, the chairman of the Meat Standards Australia committee which has been conducting voluntary grading for the past 15 years, said the industry had got to the point where only the extreme ends of the ungraded market - mince and fillet - were consistent in quality.
''The industry has thrown it back on the consumer,'' he said. ''When you buy a Toyota, you're happy to buy a Lexus or a Yaris, as long as you know that you're getting what you paid for,'' he said. ''The industry needs to make beef bullet-proof, not keep whingeing about the fact consumers don't know how to cook.''

Latest Update: December 26, 2005
The following questions are based on Backup of Organizational Justice Perceptions
- Who is the author associated in the U.S. with "justice and fairness?
Consider John Rawls, philosopher, Harvard. John Rawls in Wickipedia
- What are the two priniciples on which Rawls bases his concept of justice and fairness?
The pirnciple of liberty and the principle of difference.
- What is the liberty principle?
That each person should have access to opportunities to develop and use his skills that are as nearly as possible equal to the access of every other person. A kind of equal opportunity principle.
- What is the difference principle?
That even though some people will have career positions of family privilege that will give them greater opportunity than others, the decisions they get to make through that privilege should benefit all the people, including the least advantaged in the community for which they are making the decisions.
- What would the difference principle require that our President and all our representatives, local, state, and national consider about Katrina?
That the ninth ward be afforded the same opportunities for reconstruction as all other wards.
- What would the difference principle require that our President and all our representatives, local, state, and national consider about the war in Iraq? Who would the least advantaged be?
Consider Iraqi citizens, non-combatants, and our own armed forces personnel. Available resources be fairly apportioned for the protection of Iraqi citizens and their safety, and for American soldiers and their need for armor to protect them as they fight this war over which they had no say. That means that Halliburton's profits should be balanced by soldiers' and citizens' needs.
- What would the difference principle require that our President and all our representatives, local, state, and national consider about income taxes? Who would the least advantaged be?
Consider the unemployed, the underemployed, those in poverty, those in what once was the middle class. We would demand that, in fairness, our representatives consider the economic and social benefits to these least advantaged, as balanced against the rich. That means that the theory that greater privilege in accumulating capital would need to be balanced against the actual creation of jobs for the least advantaged whose jobs have been outsourced. That means that Walmart's refusal to pay adequate wages would have to be considered against tax costs of supplementing those wages by welfare measures.
- Who would have to be given voice on issues of incarceration who is presently not heard, if we considered the difference principle?
Consider the very people who are incarcerated, who are the least advantaged in the corrections system.

Wine and Airplanes
Now I put my wine in a six-pack cardboard shipper and check it in. (I carry on all of my shoes, though, complete with wooden trees.) It changes the type of wine that you can bring—in the past I used to carry mostly old and rare wines, since what's the point of taking a common wine to someplace where you can just buy the same bottle anyway? When you check the wine in, it gets shaken around much more, which is annoying, and so now I tend to choose wines that are younger and less fragile but that are still maybe rare enough that people at my destination aren't able to easily obtain them.
But when my friend asked me about this, it made me wonder, what about the pressure? Does the act of transporting bottles in a luggage compartment at 30,000 feet have an effect on the wine? I suppose the compartment is pressurized, so it's the same as inside the cabin? What happens to the pressure inside a bottle of champagne? I've never opened a bottle of champagne on a plane, nor have I paid much attention when flight attendants do.
Being woefully ignorant of the physical science that governs such things, I really have no answers, but I'm sure that some of you do. Perhaps I could persuade the Chief of Lab Science to refer this matter to his Department of Aviation and Aeronautics?

Hi Peter,
I should mention it is pure serendipity I know anything about this. Although we did run some trials on shipped wine that might be related.
On commercial airlines, the cabin is pressurized to an equivalent of 8000 feet above sea-level. That's why your ears pop on descent and why scuba divers have to wait to fly. I think the effect of this pressure is negligible when opening Champagne on board (and unless you're in First Class or on an Air France flight, there's little reason to test this).
However, the cargo areas of a plane are not similarly pressurized. But so long as your corks remain in place, the pressure won't impact what's in the bottle. However, you are right to note that the vigorous shaking of baggage handlers and the more gentle but constant shaking of the aircraft in flight can have a deleterious effect on your wine. Given that, I think your strategy is the right one.
Lab visitors often note that I am more comfortable in ignorance than expertise. And that it's rare that I know what I'm talking about.
Given both, I think we shall declare this moment a milestone!
J David
PS. I was promoted to Managing Principal.

I must dispute the assertion that the cargo area is not pressurized. It is, and for several reasons, pets are transported there, but engineering wise it's impractical to create a pressure tight seal between the passenger area and the cargo area. It's much easier to pressurize the entire cylinder of the planes body.
When it comes to wine the pressure issue is about variations and the speed with which they happen.
Fairly sudden changes can dislodge wet corks, for example.

Another benefit of being able to bring wine on board was that you could occasionally, in the good old days, find a stewardess who would serve you your own wine while in flight. I fondly remember sharing a couple bottles of Burgundy with fellow travelers while flying from San Francisco to Dallas pre 9/11.

Ned, you're right. I should have been more clear. The cargo areas of the plane are pressurized, but not maintained as evenly as in the passenger cabin. And they are definitely not temperature controlled. It is indeed an issue of structural engineering. But not pets. I've heard 5000 pets a year don't make it on commercial flights in the US. Might be urban legend, but most pet groups recommend taking them in the cabin.

Pressure inside a bottle of fully mousseux champagne is six atmospheres or so. Consider a hypothetical bottle in orbit (exterior pressure zero) versus on earth at sea level (exterior pressure one atmosphere): less than a 20% increase in inside to outside differential pressure, which is undoubtedly within the engineering tolerance of the bottle. Obviously the wine will have somewhat more tendency to foam out of the bottle if opened at altitude.
- 24 February, 2009 03:02
Your Champagne or wine, given recovery time for the shaking, would no doubt be completely fine, but it is worth knowing that pressure does indeed affect Champagne. I have foolishly served Champagne while up in the mountains, during ski trips, and wines that I knew to be fine and elegant came out all frothy, with bigger bubbles. Learning from this, it is worth opening them ahead of time and giving them more time in the glass. Or it can be a good place to taste very old, almost flat champagne.
Beyond the difference in pressure, there is also less oxygen in altitude. Old still wines, in places like Aspen, move in slow motion past opening on the oxidation front. A friend of mine working there as a sommelier tells me he feels the wines need twice the decanting time.

Very, very intriguing. Thanks, all of you. Makes me want to open a bottle of champagne on a plane, open one at high altitude, and open one in orbit. Maybe someday.

You need to read post #1. This can be a problem if you don't read the initial post.
Here are the pertinent facts: His compressor was running,but the air coming out was not that cool. He added a can of R134 and now his COMPRESSOR WILL NOT KICK-ON. It would certainly appear that he now has too much freon in the system which only has a high pressure cutout switch according to Bentley. This is why I said he has nothing to lose by letting some freon out. I suggest at least 5# of pressure on the low side for starters. He may need to let out even more, but I think that is a good start. He can even turn system "on" and bleed off freon and compressor may start when he loses enough freon/pressure. All he did was add too much freon and now his compressor won't run.
And good try GTX: You did not say don't turn the can upside down unless it says to...you made a definitive statement when in fact this particular can MUST be turned upside down to get the oil to enter the system. Now you try to change you story..oh, that's right, you're the guy who never errors when you make blanket statements! You find some set of conditions where you might be correct, but you don't say that. You tell a guy who needs real help to NEVER DO XYZ when he read the instructions on the can and it told him to do this. Just like the guy that said to always read the instructions was oh so helpful here as was the guy who told Fudman who has a fitting that will ONLY fit the low side schrader to NOT CHARG THE HIGH SIDE EVER. I thank God for folks like DSXMachina who feels my pain! You do what you want Fudman based on how full your wallet is. If you bleed off some R134 and the compressor comes on, you will cause no harm. I'd let it out until I got to about 45# with the AC on. You have NOTHING to lose and everything to gain.
I am showing about 38 psi (low side) at around 65F. Based on what you say, I should continue to bleed off refrigerant by turning the A/C on and then begin the bleed process. Hopefully, the compressor will kick on? As you say, at this point I have nothing to lose. I just want to make sure nothing major is wrong with the system. I intend to have it drained an refilled properly anyway. It's a little late and I leave tomm'w AM so I'll try this when I get back Tue PM. Thanx.
38 # is "in the ballpark" considering that it was cool outside when you tested. You may just be off by a tad. If you bleed off some and the compressor starts, because of the fairly critical nature of the necessary charge, see how cool the air stream is. If it runs, but does not start the following day, you are close but just a tad too high and due to changes in the outside temperature on a differant day, it may trip the high side limit again in which case you need to bleed of a touch more. If your problem is truly an overcharge condition, then by being patient, you will"stumble" for lack of a better word on the right amount that will work over the whole range from hot days to cold days. The DME takes ambient temp into consideration so it may come on and never fail to start again.
The question is why was it not cold and where did the freon go? Systems that require periodic "top offs" are leaking and you are still needing a die test to find your leak. This will get you by for a while until possibly even the fall. You can buy a die kit and using a black light, find the leak. Whether you can fix is a different matter. I just "get off" cheating the "man" who wants into my wallet. Especially if you are going to take in anyway. You will not hurt anything except those 10 polar bears we talked about earlier! Really, R134 is a much safer gas than R12. Don't sweat it.
Fudmnan: "Just like the guy" suggests maybe you should take your car to a competent A/C servicer at this point. "EPA Certified" is trying hard to impart his worldly knowledge but clearly his brilliance is too "blinding" for mere mortals.
Seriously, you can go to a shop with the proper A/C diagnostic equipment and get your system checked out for not too much cash, which may be cheaper in the long run than buying more refrigerant and chasing "EPA Certified's" wild geese....

Does anyone have exact detail spec of the E39 AC system refrigerant?
Items such as:
- Total capacity of R134a +/- ? how much.
- Pressure on low side +/- ? how much, what temp?
- Pressure on high side +/- ? how much, what temp?
Just curious.
You may want to read this:
Two (2) unlikely suspects:
- AC belt: are you sure it is still alive (i.e. not broken)?
- Failed FSR has diff symptoms but just a thought.
Bentley says pre-12/1997 models have 1225 +/-25 grams of R134a.
Post 12/1997 models have only 750 +/- 10 grams of R134a
Refrigerant oil is PAG
No specs on pressure or temp.

Oh wait, p o is for us 335i HPFP owners, it's in our wiki.
It was about 80F+ today so I turned on the A/C (still no aux fan or compressor) and took a low side pressure reading (42 psi). While the A/C was on, I continued to bleed some more refrigerant, a little at a time. When the pressure dropped into the low 30s psi, the aux fan kicked on. However, the compressor did not. I drained a bit more until I hit the low-mid 20s psi. Still no compressor activation. I give up. Time to take into the pros. Sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you.
Please explain to me based upon these sequences of discussions where my logic or reasoning is incorrect? I suppose you can argue that my first statement should have included a disclaimer that it may not apply in all cases which is clearly true. However, any statement anybody makes in many cases can be taken as a definitive statement as you say and perhaps even you should make a disclaimer up front that much of what you state is based upon "my experience" and perhaps "education on the subject matter" but may not be 100% fact in all cases. This way we are all covered against possibly giving out incorrect information that may be taken as fact resulting in damage, bodily harm, expense or hurt feelings. By the way, this is your post on 5/15. I quote:
"Think there still is a misunderstanding possibly, so I will stop the sarcasm and be straight here. Those in the industry turn freon cans upside down literally "all the time". You just need to know what you are doing."
Ever wonder why 5 series electrical issues are common and complicated.. Spend time here and you will understand why. http://www.bmw-planet.com/diagrams/r...9new/index.htm
Fudman, Please post your final outcome. Bill
I hope to have an appointment for this Fri. Will post the outcome then. it hits 90F here totday. Rats!
For those who want to venture into AC system repair, I can recommend these things:
1. Haynes Manual sells a book on how to repair AC system. It is a good read. You can buy it for about $6-10 online.
When it comes down to it, it is basically luquid evaporating (absorbing heat in the process) and vapor condensing into liquid (releasing heat). Essentially Physics 101.
Once you understand this concept, it is not that hard to trouble-shoot AC system. The main issue is always equipment/experience.
2. Once you completely evacuated your AC system, you will need a vacuum pump to remove 99% air/moisture before charging the system from fresh. Harbor Freight sells this Vacuum Pump 2.5 CFM Vacuum Pump for $70:
And Yes, Fudman, please post a F/U.
A relatively happy conclusion to my saga of the elusive A/C compressor function.
I had given up troubleshooting this system and took it to an indy (recommended by my Honda mechanic). He is a bit eccentric (works out of his own garage) but is very reasonable and has done good quality work for me on my Explorer. I left it this AM and went to work. Having not heard from him, I was a bit worried and called him after lunch. He spent about 10-15 minutes telling me in a convoluted way that he could not really figure out what the problem was. Greatly disappointed, I assumed he could not get the system working and resigned myself to possibly replacing some very expensive components. He then said that the compressor was not kicking on probably because the refrigerant was too low (this after it read too high and I bled some off!)! He said he then added a bit of refrigerant to get it to the right level and then said everything is working just fine! Well, I'll be damned. He checked for leaks but could not detect one and believes I may have a very slow leak and may require a recharge every other year or so. That sure beats a new compressor or condenser. While I usually want to understand what the problem was to preclude repetition, I am just happy to get the darn A/C working for less than $200.
Bottom line: Not exactly sure what the cause of the original problem (no cold air) was, why my adding refrigerant did not work nor why me draining and him adding refirigerant fixed the problem. All I know is that it now works and it did not cost me an arm and a leg. This entire experience is probably not very useful to anyone WRT lessons learned, other than don't mess with something you know nothing about. And it certainly helps to have a reliable indy around when things get out of hand.
Outstanding Fudman. Very glad that you did not have to pay and arm and a leg.. A question and a possible explanation. First the question: Do you know if the HVAC guy removed all your freon and then refilled your system with the weight of charge necessary or did he take readings and add freon based upon his experience?
Second point is that this is further proof that you can't take what BMW calls a sensor literally. Many systems do not have a low pressure sensor and many do. You generally do not destroy your system from too little freon, but you can get freeze-up and all kinds of problems. Anyway, I digress...The Bentley shows no low pressure sensor. They only show a high pressure sensor which will go "open" and shut the system down. I wondered about that sensor since it has four wires going to it rather than just two. You only need two (one actually and a ground) to have a high pressure shut-off and with four wires going to that sensor in a BMW it is likely a hi & lo sensor all in one-even though the Bentley only refers to a high pressure limit.
I am going to guess that say you had too much freon to start with (after you added a whole can). As you released freon to see if the compressor would kick on you said at one point the aux. fan all of a sudden started. Did you by chance STOP there, shut off the car to clear the error and then re-start and see if the compressor would kick in or did you just continue to release freon? Since your indy states that you were low, you MUST at some point have passed right through the proper charge. I am wondering if you had happened to stop releasing freon while in the correct range of +/- 5 grams if the compressor would have started had you shut the car off and then started the car again and selected the AC on? In any event, it was worth a shot as you proved you had nothing to lose really. Some would say you would have had to be quite lucky to stop at the right value, but I don't think so. The proper charge is like 750 grams +/- 5 grams, but that does not mean that you must be that precise or the compressor will not kick in. That is just an optimum charge.
It is easy to just say "take it in and pay someone", but had you hit it and the compressor kicked in and cooled to the same degree it is working right now, you would have been a genius! I'm just happy you got it as we had a warm week, did we not??
I talked with him at length when I picked the car up. He suspects that I may have not let the car run long enough with the A/C switched on for the compressor to kick on during my draining. I know the first time I checked I let it go for at least 30 sec before i shut it down. However, he suspects (and I agree) that as I continued to bleed off refrigerant, the time I let the compressor attempt to come on grew shorter and shorter. I must have just passed over the range of proper refrigerant level. He did not drain the system (at least he did not indicate he did) but did tell me that he measured the proper amount refrigerant (1.65 lb) in the system. Not sure how he did that. Anyway, the total damage was only $151. It could have easily have been triple that or more so I guess I lucked out.
Thanx to all for helping out!!!

Marion Mitchell-Wilson, a writer and founding director of the Inlandia Institute, will share "The Story of English Shortbread" and will talk about her creative menu journals and the art of memoir from 6:30 to 8 p.m. today at Renaissance Books, 3772 Elizabeth St., Riverside.
The event is organized by the new arts organization SALT + SPICE and co-sponsored by he Inlandia Institute.
Marion Mitchell-Wilson has retired from a 35-year career in historic preservation and cultural arts administration, but she is still active in the Inland Empire's artistic community. She began her career at the Orchard House, the National Historic Landmark home of Louisa May Alcott, and concluded as the founding director of the Inlandia Institute, on whose board she still sits.
In an interview by Inlandia literary laureate Gayle Brandeis for KCET, Mitchell-Wilson said she got her love of words from her grandfather, who wrote double-crostics for the Saturday Review.
Mitchell-Wilson's concept of memoir is inclusive and flexible.
"She encourages us to view everyday items in new ways, to view our collections of family recipes, letters and even holiday cards as jumping-off points for writing a memoir," said Lisa Henry, coordinator of SALT + SPICE.
Mitchell-Wilson said that preserving the cultural history of the Inland Empire starts with one's family's story.
"Marion's work with Inlandia has inspired many writers. Now she invites the general public (who may not necessarily see themselves as writers) to collect the ingredients to make their own creative memoir," Henry said.
Shortbread and light refreshments will be served, and the public is encouraged to attend and share stories. The event is free.
SALT + SPICE is a community arts organization offering art workshops, readings and cultural events in the Inland Empire. Classes and workshops are all free to the public and all skill levels are welcome.
Many SALT workshops are designed to engage all ages.
SPICE happenings and author events are held throughout the year. SPICE is committed to socially conscious and diverse programming in the Inland Empire. SALT + SPICE is based in Riverside and managed by independent curator and art educator Lisa Henry.
For information, contact Henry at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Inlandia Institute is a nonprofit literary center and publishing house focused on the Inland Southern California region. For information, contact Cati Porter at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 951-790 2458.
