One more update for anyone still reading:
I had reset my transmission using the hold the gas pedal to the floor for 30 seconds thing a few times and it never really made much difference. Friday I finally got my D+K CAN cable in and reset all the adaptations via INPA. First drive, it had a little trouble shifting smooth, little jerky, high RPM's once or twice before finally changing gears, etc. etc. BUT ultimately after it figured it out, basically all of my problems are gone. I've driven a few hundred miles this weekend and the 5th gear hardcore jerking is at most a small hiccup, only at a certain speed/throttle position (so seldom I haven't been able to really even repeat it, only felt it barely once by coincidence). Jerky 5 to 6 change is gone. Jerky 3 to 2 is gone. The little jerk right before you stop (2 to 1) is still present, but a software update should take care of that one. I just haven't gotten up the nerve to update the transmission computer software yet, lol.
Also, changed spark plugs today and my god the old ones looked horrible. 5 were the original bosch style (the car has 180K on it so I sure hope they aren't actually originals) and the electrodes were half gone. The other 3 (easiest ones to get to..) had been replaced at some point with NGK ones. I replaced all 8 in about an hour (not sure why everyone acts like it's a tough job? It was really relatively easy and painless).
Verdict: It's a whole different car. It used to be so jerky off idle I was almost embarassed to have people ride with me and def wouldn't let anyone else drive. I almost preferred to drive my work car (Imapala) just because this thing was such a pain to drive halfway smoothly. Between the plugs and transmission complete reset, it's completely different. So much better to drive now!
edit: added pics of sparkplugs

One more update:
I ordered a solenoid kit a few weeks ago, but never had a chance to install it. A couple of days ago I started having issues with 4 to 5 shifting under hard acceleration (once it even gave the transmission warning message and locked me into one gear. turning car off/back on got me going again at least), so I figured it was time to put these in.
Is there a DIY for how to do this? If not, I'll try to write one up if anyone wants or needs it. Please let me know if anyone wants this.. It's pretty easy. Just pull the mechatronics/valve body. Take mechatronics (plastic + electronics) off of valve body, remove solenoids, install new solenoids and put it all back together.
One thing that really freaked me out was I got it all apart and the old solenoids were green, new ones were blue. I just about put the old ones back in, but realized when I blew on some of them they were leaking pretty bad, so I figured I'd try the blue and see what happens. About the time I got it back together thectsc wrote me back and said it was just a color change, but what I had would work fine.
So, the verdict: With new solenoids, this is the best shifting I've seen out of this car so far. Shifts are quick and firm, but not jerky at all. Much better than before. Going into reverse is almost instant now, where it used to take 2-3 seconds before it would engage. I reset all of the adapatations so I've had a few little jerks here and there during downshifts, but you can tell it's changing fine, just sometimes the computer is changing down a little too early. Hopefully it learns how to be smoother about it.
I can also be hard on the gas and no problems with the 4 to 5 shift or any others for that matter
If I drove it hard I used to get some codes about output speed not being correct or something like that, which I assume was either from slow shifting or slipping clutch packs. Regardless, I drove it hard earlier and got no error messages at all.
I would suggest anyone about to replace their whole valvebody/mechatronics who has the classic symptoms consider just replacing the solenoids, if you are so inclined.

Seems that the surging in mine is worse the colder it is outside and only first thing in the morning. I have 48,000 miles and am taking it to the dealer this Saturday. (09 550i)
The dealer was able to duplicate the problem and are opening a case with BMW, we shall see. ***** Update They did the software update and after I test drove, it didnt fix anything. So on to mechtronics work I assume.
Last edited by greeniner; 11-12-2012 at 10:41 AM. Reason: Update
yesterday I had the sealing sleeve and leaking trans pan replaced. Replaced fluid with Redline D4 and all of my surging issues are gone. Total cost for the work was $735. My symptoms prior to the change were hard 2-1 downshifts and a noticeable surge when shifting from Reverse to Drive. I should also add that no software updates were done as my mechanic said that all software was up to date. I'll report back in a few weeks as to whether or not this resolves my trans issues long term.

Oh boy...
Hi all.
I just bought an 05 545i a little over a week ago with 76k miles. Its an automatic. The dealer thought it had the sport package but I found out via research that it actually does not. Because of that I didn't think much about the rough shifting it had on test drive. At this point I am starting to notice it more because I am not "getting used to" the car and getting smoother technique.
I have a lot of dead zone in the gas pedal, about the first 10 degrees has almost no effect. Then it picks up and causes a "surge" of torque at once after pressing down far enough.
The other thing I noticed was that I can't smoothly stop the car. The downshifts are noticeable no matter how much braking is applied. Once about to stop it seems like it downshifts and then the idle suddenly drops. If i don't time my foot letting up on the brake pedal carefully then the car ends up bucking wildly.
I don't have any slams or sounds going on. I don't notice any hiccups or hesitation in any gear. Its just when starting off, braking, and especially when coming to a stop it has issues.
Does this sound like the mechatronics unit is starting to fail? If so I am thinking to do fluid/filter service and save up for a different car. Of course on the other hand I feel confident I could replace it myself and if the car drove nicely afterwords then it might be worth it to me. I paid 18 for the car. I think I will start with either a test drive of another 545 or have an experienced tech confirm it.
The first 10 degrees of pedal movement not doing much is the same on mine--google BMW throttle tip in and you'll find tons on it. It's a common issue but seems to be kind of an "is what it is" thing with no options to improve it. Some say you can reset "throttle adaptations" (google it) and it will help for a while anyways.
I can still barely smoothly stop mine as well. There's a transmission software bug where it shifts down from 2nd to 1st right before you stop, making it jerk at a horrible time. Try this: drive it in manual mode, when coming to a stop and downshifting manually, don't use 1st. Stop with it in 2nd and see if it's smooth then. My guess is it will be. If you don't downshift at all, it will shift down to 3rd for you before you stop (but not go any lower until you tell it to). Try that also and see if it's smoother.
There's a software update that fixes the issue (I think it basically just doesn't use 1st unless you're in sport mode) that may be an option for you to consider if stopping in 2nd via manual mode helps.
Sounds like normal stuff to me, not a mechatronics failure. I wouldn't tell anyone you paid that much

Sigh of Relief
Muchas Gracias amigo.
That puts my mind very much at ease!
I did notice exactly what you describe in manual mode. I can start nicely in 2nd or 3rd as well as stop better. As an update I also noticed that its a whole lot smoother in normal mode when the car is cold and I am starting off in the morning. As it warms up it gets gradually harsher and with more throttle tip-in.
I will definitely look into the software update as I would like it to act like it does in manual mode. I am also thinking the flush and filter is still a good preventive maintenance measure.
For the price yeah I do feel I paid a bit much but my philosophy when buying from a dealer is instead of pushing for lowest price I usually ask for other extras in case I need or find out something is wrong. Oh and yeah I do lie about the price especially to my Indian co-workers because they get so jealous.
Maybe swap out the fluid twice so you change most of it (just filter once).
And again, make sure the adaptations are reset after changing it
also--I agree, definitely change it. The EDS solenoids begin to leak/fail in transmissions where it's not changed past 100K miles. They aren't too horrible to replace, but I've never heard of a shop that would actually do it that way (I DIY'd mine)
Last edited by schpenxel; 11-09-2012 at 10:56 AM.
So the bottom line is:
If you E06 with steptronic transmission experiences the following symptoms: when car is warmed up, there is a slight RPM 'flutter hiccup' around 37 MPH & 1,700 RPMs, which does not seem to occur at other speeds or RPMs, and sometimes also has a slight delay after shifting in Reverse.
Then the cause is most likely transmission ZF mechatronics solenoids which can be replaced and then needs a computer update BEFORE driving ANY distance.
So, don't waste time and money with other potential suggested causes such as: bad gas; MAF sensor; 02 sensors; fly by wire; fuel filter; CCV; Carbon buildup; tourque converter; spark plugs; VANOS, computer software updates; re-train the "learned" transmission with the 30 second pedal to floor reset; transmission control module, etc...
If above were the cause, then issue would likely occur across many speeds / RPM's. This mechatroinc solenoid issue is specific to this RPM and speed range.
Ignoring this may lead to transmission fluid leak and failure.
How many BMW's (E06 and other) are impacted by this?
The cost to fix is ~$4,000?
How do we get BWMNA to issue a recall?
We had Beemers since 1990 and this is not a plus when we consider our next upgrate within a year.
oops, E60, not E06
Cost to fix is < $1,000 for solenoids
Does anyone know a good Indy in the Boston south shore area to change mechatronics solenoids? Thanks
I am facing the same issue and the problem is inside the transmission: TCU, transmission control unit needs replacement but BMw
will not work on the transmission. They want to replace the whole transmission for a tag price of $7,000. If u r under warranty, u r in luck but in my case, I have to come up with the cash to get it replaced. I also complained to BMW of America . They won't do anything and my car has only 76,000 miles. Go figure.
You can buy a replacement mechatronics unit with TCU for I think around $1500. Any independent BMW mechanic should be able to install it.
BMW is taking advantage of you.

Thanks for the advice. What does that component do for the transmission and can I trust a local Indy to reinstall it? Merry Christmas to u n to all at the forum.
By the way, my transmission is an automatic.
Can bad struts cause brand new tires to wear out?
I've got a long reply I'll post shortly that should cover everything you'll ever want to know, lol
Basically, in old school automatic transmissions, a part called the valve body used a few variables like engine speed, throttle position and vehicle speed to determine what gear the transmission needed to be in and when to change gears. It would open and close different hydraulic circuits to turn different things (bands and clutch packs) on and off to get different gear ratios and ultimately gave us the automatic transmission. This was all done with no electronics and quite honestly blows my mind that it actually worked--it all worked on hydraulic pressure
Now, the bands/clutch packs are still controlled by oil pressure, but that oil pressure and what circuits are on/off are controlled by solenoids inside the valve body. The solenoids are controlled by the TCU (transmission control unit).
In the E60, the valve body, solenoids and TCU are all in one assembly called the mechatronics unit (I assume it's derived from mechanical valve body and electronics control spliced together or something like that).
On my E60 I had issues with the solenoids no longer sealing correctly--this is very common, however, BMW refuses to replace any individual components and will almost always only replace the entire transmission or entire mechatronics assembly, even when a few hundred dollars in solenoids would have fixed the issue. The video below shows me pulling the mechatronics unit and changing the solenoids. The black plastic piece in the video towards the end has the TCU built into it--you can kind of see how it connects to the solenoid once put back together.
Ultimately, if I could do it in my driveway on jack stands, I'm sure any decent mechanic could do it.
Just curious--what exactly is wrong with yours that makes them say the TCU is bad?
When I am driving sometimes, I got a the transmission malfunction that comes on the dash board then the vehicle lost power. I have to pull over, turn it off n turn it back on and everything is fine.
Both, front and rear. Uneven wear.

We hear all this talk about greenhouse gas emissions and how the big culprit in climate change is the burning of hydrocarbon fuels which sends C02 gas (carbon dioxide) into the upper atmosphere where it stays, builds up and traps extra heat from the sun, eventually over-heating out planet. OK, we get that. But when it comes to our personal contribution to this very serious problem -- and what we as individuals can actually do about it -- it seems too big, too hard to get a personal sense of how we fit in to any real solution.

1: Do those CFL bulbs really last 10,000 hours?
2: Is the light quality they put out any good?
The answer is "Yes" to all those questions.
We at The Greener Home searched the web trying find some real proof that those funny-looking spiral shaped CFL bulbs actually do last as long as the 8,000 to 10,000 hours claimed on the package, but we didn't have much luck. So we decided to test the claim ourselves:
Here at The Greener Home we have a lamp in the office that stays on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We realized it would make an ideal test subject because that works out to 8,760 hours per year. So two years ago we replaced the standard 60-watt incandescent bulb in that lamp with a 13-watt CFL (which puts out about the same light as the old 60-watt bulb) and then we waited. That CFL bulb finally burned out after 8,347 hours. The second CFL bulb we replaced it with has now been burning for over 9,000 hours and is still shinning.
So, the truth is that you can rely on getting 8,000 to 10,000 hours of use out of a single CFL bulb unless you happen to get one which has a manufacturing defect (which does happen on a rare occasion, just as it does with regular incandescent bulbs). Compared to the pitiful 1,000 hours or less you get out of the old standard household incandescent bulbs, that is very impressive.
The quality of the light put out by modern CFL bulbs is excellent -- if you don't make the mistake we did and buy one that is labeled as a "sunlight" or "daylight" bulb.
Those sunlight CFL bulbs put out a very harsh, cold light most people find irritating which also tends to make everything in the room look kind of green. Yuck. We don't even know why the manufacturers continue to make the "sunlight" CFL. Are people using them to grow weed in their houses or what? Anyway, if you buy the CFL bulbs labeled "soft white" or "standard" you'll find the kind of light they put out is very close to what your old incandescent bulb provided, only maybe not quite as bright. If you need the exact same brightness from a lamp, then you should get a 20-watt CFL (75-watt equivalent) to replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb.
Modern soft white CFL bulbs do *not* flicker like some of the old ones did many years ago (and like the big flourescent tubes in office buildings still do today). On a final quality of light note, while a CFL bulb does comes on immediately, it takes about 30 to 60 seconds to completely warm up and put out its full brightness.
Also, you are no longer stuck with just the spiral-shaped bulb. They now make globe-shaped CFLs very similar to the old familiar incandescent, plus reflector types, mini-styles for overhead lighting fixtures, etc.
As for making $546 in just one hour, the editor of this website did exactly that -- by simply by taking 30 minutes to go down to the local mega retail store and buy a couple of six-packs of CFL bulbs. It took him another 30 minutes to go around the house taking out the old 60 watt incandescent bulbs and screwing in the new CFL bulbs in their place. The total cost was $23.96 plus tax. So, how did he make $544 in that one hour? He went to a website called E3living.com and put the specifics of what he'd just done into their marvelous on-line form and looked at the bottom line results:
You can do the same for yourself at http://www.e3living.com/cfl-savings-calculator
Of course, you may not care about making an extra $500 for one hour of easy effort. And you may not care about how easy it is to significantly reduce the amount of CO2 you personally are causing to be put into the atmosphere by continuing to use the old energy-hog incandescent light bulbs.
But if that is not who you are and you haven't yet changed over to CFL bulbs, what the heck are you waiting for?
Oh, one more thing: If that *is* who you are then you should know that in December of 2008 a federal law went into effect in the United States which effectively bans the sale of 40-watt to 150-watt household incandescent bulbs starting in 2012, so you might as well just go ahead and make the money now and start reducing those emissions anyway.

CD8α (53-6.7) Rat mAb recognizes endogenous levels of mouse CD8α protein by flow cytometry.Species Reactivity: Mouse
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with mouse spleen cells.
Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) is a disulphide-linked heterodimer consisting of the unrelated α and β subunits. Each subunit is a glycoprotein composed of a single extracellular Ig-like domain, a polypeptide linker, a transmembrane part and a short cytoplasmic tail. On T cells, CD8 is the coreceptor for the T cell receptor (TCR), and these two distinct structures recognize the Antigen–Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Specifically, the Ig-like domain of CD8α interacts with the α3-domain of the MHC class I molecule. CD8 ensures specificity of the TCR–antigen interaction, prolongs the contact between the T cell and the antigen presenting cell, and the α chain recruits the tyrosine kinase Lck, which is essential for T cell activation (1).

Big Ten Championship Game History
City: Indianapolis, Indiana
Stadium: Lucas Oil Stadium
Trophy: Stagg Championship Trophy
Like all conferences, Big Ten football has always aligned itself with certain ideals. The SEC prides itself on speed, the Pac-12 boasts innovative passing attacks, the power running game is the bread and butter of the Big 12. But none of those conferences can compete with the toughness, dedication, and intensity of the Big Ten.

The River2Sea's Cranky M is a versatile, medium depth floating crankbait that gives anglers the ability to retrieve the lure at any speed, but is especially deadly when retrieved at blazing speeds, as Cranky M stays true, but "hunts" slightly on its track. Cranky M is durable and built to withstand the rigors of competition.
The River2Sea Cranky M Cranklbait features a coffin lip to assist in deflecting the bait off cover, while its tight wiggle mimics the frantic actions of a fleeing baitfish. River2Sea's exclusive Tungsten Force rattle system creates a ruckus to attract game fish. As with our other products, this dynamic new lure family features ultra sharp Daiichi premium treble hooks that grab hold when they strike.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I bought this lure based on the reviews and was not disapointed. Fished the smaller baby bass color and caught several white bass and a few largemouth on just a steady retrieve. The hooks were sharp and did their job holding fish. All of my fish were caught at night.
From: Frank: Salado, Tx
Comments: Tonight was my first night using the Cranky M. Got it in Aurora black. Was throwing every I could at dusk, no takers. As soon as I switched to this lure, I was gettin hit like crazy. Landed three good size ones when it was pitch black out. Great rattle, great action, fish stay on the hooks. Will be buying more definitely
From: Jared: CA
Comments: I have four of these, and all of them have run perfectly, no matter how fast I burn them. They cast a mile and they catch bass like crazy. They absolutely crush this bait. Baby Bass and Bluegill are my favorite colors. River2sea makes great baits that are just as good as the Japanese baits that cost twice as much.
From: Greg: Utah
Comments: Got one of these in clown color. Replaced the stock hooks with red Gamakatsu trebles. It looks sweet. BUT, I was not impressed with this crank at all when it came down to fishing. Not a good crank for a fast retrieve. I hate having to tune a crank, it is a waste of time. If a company can't make one that runs true out of the box I will not use it or buy any more.
From: Tim: TX
Comments: Fished my favorite Haunt with the 3/8 oz first day I got them from Tackle Warehouse. Caught 1 fish every three casts until i just got bored and went home. Caught & landed over 30 fish from 2:30 till 5:30 and that is not the most productive time of the day. Usually don't get a single bite until 5:30 PM. Spent more time getting trebles out than fishing. Twitching on top, Walk'n the dog sub surface or a steady retrieve all caught fish.
From: Clayton: Austin, TX
Comments: First day I tried this bait, I caught 4 bass in a pond that has never produced many bass. Even caught a nice little 3 pounder on this crankbait.
Comments: The quality of this crank could easily fetch twice as much. Totally over-built and it really catches lots of bass. Try the Aurora Black in clear water. The Baby Bass really comes into its own in the fall when the bass fry are the same size as this lure.
From: AJ: RI
Comments: This is a really nice minnow-like crank which gets down to about 4 ft. max on 17 lb. test (probably won't reach 6 ft. even on light line), has a moderately tight wiggle, and moderate rise to the surface which works well in colder water. It handles rocks and stumps well, deflecting nicely to avoid hangups. Hooked a nice 18 in. 3.5 lb. Bass by deflecting the lure off a stump in 52 degree water. It seems lighter than 3/8 oz. when casting, but rolls only occassionally during a cast because of the internal weights.
All the colors are great; I have the "Clown" in the smaller size. I would like to try the Aurora Black and the Tiger Red Craw. If you are looking for a moderate depth crank with minnow-like action, I think you will find this a good choice, especially in Spring and Fall.
From: Ed: Champaign, IL

"I have relatively narrow feet and usually don't have problems with the heel of shoes rubbing on my skin, but these shoes are an exception. I wore them for a few hours on two different occasions to break them in, then wore them an entire day at work--what a mistake! 6 hours into my day most of the skin was rubbed off my heel, even through my dress socks!!! I didn't have a spare pair of shoes so was stuck with these until the end of my day 4 hours later....by the end of my day I could barely walk to my car. These shoes are so cute, but not worth the pain! I do not recommend buying these."

Wrong Color
"I bought the 'brown' shoe and when I got it, it was actually olive green. I am going to return it and get the taupe color instead. Also noticed that the toe looked a little worn, you can see it a little on the pictures but it is more noticeable when you see them. They fit well and are comfortable"

"Cute, but they're more than a half-size too long.More important, they look worn - the product photo shows that a little, but the pair I got looked really dirty and rubbed on the toes. In fact my roommate was there when I opened them and said "Oh, are they used?"So I'm very disappointed."

4 And they came near before
5 And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;

10 Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
11 And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Beth-shean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

text: The tripod vessel has been Brian Hirst's main preoccupation from his earliest work, a form that he often interprets in reference to the styles and degraded iridescent surfaces of classical antique Roman glass. Hirst also uses the shadow as a continuing motif, juxtaposing three-dimensional glass objects with their shadow – a flat, glass image. Shadow votive bowl 1, a massive blown and cast tripod glass bowl with a platinum-lustred rim, is set on a forged and constructed, etched and oxidised stainless-steel stand and backdrop, shaped to suggest the bowl's shadow but set apart from it in visually dramatised perspective. As a collector of historic and early contemporary glass, Hirst has an interest in the disposition and reception of the displayed object – theatrical conversations that inform the arrangement of real and reflected elements in his works.

- Overview
- Ingredients
- Features
- Leaves hair natural looking vibrant and manageable
- Makes hair feel smooth and closes the cuticle
- Moisturizes, detangles, lusterizes
- To Use With Color: To prevent unevenness of color, apply color to new growth then, immediately apply Porosity Corrector & Conditioner to the shaft and ends to shield the porous areas. When processing is completed in the regrowth pull the color through to the ends over the Porosity Control Corrector & Conditioner. This will eliminate color grab by restricting color penetration, providing a more even color result.

- To Use On Relaxed Hair: After relaxer service, shampoo with a deep cleansing neutralizing shampoo, then follow-up with Porosity Control Shampoo for extra conditioning, manageability and shine.
- To Use With Perms: For hot perms: Use Porosity Corrector & Conditioner (instead of water) as a pre-wrap. For cold perms: Apply Porosity Corrector & Conditioner to shaft and ends of hair. Then wrap with rods and apply lotion.

Pre-conditionerI am not a professional stylist, but I help my friends straighten their kinky, coily locks. I have found that if I put this on dry hair and let it stand for a few minutes prior to shampooing, the hair becomes much more manageable. I also mix it with whatever deep conditioner I use for even better results.Mar 18, 2013LdHAIR TYPEDry Hair / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

My WorkhorseI am a professional stylist & have used most every product under the sun, but roux is my workhorse. It can literally save a wreck.
Used weekly as a deep conditioner it is fantastic, before & after any chemical service, fantastic, daily as a conditioner for hair that needs dialy conditioner, wonderful, but THE REAL beauty of this product is just a warm teaspoon or so (so it melts in easier) added to a spray bottle and shook.
This is the ideal leave in conditioner and detangler. It will close your cuticle, prevent damage, prevent color loss, prevent moisture loss and is a fantastic cutting agent for hairdressers/barbers. adjust to your hair. my hair is very fine, a small amount to a bottle of water. Ethnic hair may really see huge results with few teaspoons per water bottle. As long as it is adjusted to your hair's prefernce, you can use it throughout the day for continual softness & moisture or as a curl regenerator.
The only consideration i am aware of is extremely fine hair like mine. I use no conditioner after shampoo, and spritz this as a leave in conditioner after shower and that is the extent i use it, or my hair would be TOO soft.Oct 1, 2011BrendaHAIR TYPENormal Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Roux Shampoo/conditioner For Porous HairI have natural, overly porous hair and decided to use this line after having issues with mooshy, fragile tresses that would break off with ease. Let me add that I lightened my hair from soft black to auburn (bad look) that really jacked me up. After using the shampoo/condish, I noticed results- my hair didn't break with ease and I retained more length than ever. This product is great for natural, relaxed and color-treated hair!

A Blessing For My Relaxed HairI had researched this conditioner after seeing some reviews on youtube and after my hair was shedding like a dog!!!!!! and I was just tired of the loss of hair....so after the reviews that recommended that I should add this condish to my conditioner and I would see the difference I did and......OMG!!!!!!!! I am so absolutely pleased! my hair has bounce and the shedding stopped immediately as in when I was rinsing the conditioner out I was NOT getting shedding hair! and long story short this is wonderful!Oct 30, 2010ShylishaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

In addition to imparting to our students a love for learning, we also believe that it is essential to instill in them a strong love and appreciation for the Land of Israel. With this idea in mind, we have created a unique curriculum. The students will be taught Navi/Jewish History by one of the world's foremost Jewish historians, Rabbi Berel Wein. In conjunction with this we will take the students on guided tours to the places which they have just learned about.
Thus, our students will gain a deeper understanding of Israel and its place in Jewish history.
Along with the "Biblical Tours," we will also have tours which offer an opportunity to appreciate past and present life in Israel.
Tour highlights will include:
The scenic Jordan Valley, swimming in Tiberias, feeling the holy mysticism of Ancient Tzefat, walking in the Old Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem (including the Kotel Tunnel Tour), climbing Masada, visiting an authentic Bedouin camp (and riding camels), hiking and swimming at Ein Gedi, visiting Yad Vashem (Israel's holocaust museum), crawling through the Bar Kochba caves, etc.

- Rejuvenating Oil (2 oz): Restores lipids in dry, damaged hair and scalp while deeply penetrating the hair shaft to revive, strengthen and restore hair's health, softness and shine.
- Peppermint and Avocado Shampoo (8 oz): This volumizing, clarifying shampoo contains 2.3% pure peppermint extract plus 16 plant extracts and eleven carrier and essential oils, leaving your hair smooth, silky and clean.

- About the brand
Philip B. Four Step Hair and Scalp Facial Treatment normalizes scalp circulation, clarifies build-up of excess cells, sebum and product, leaving you feeling refreshed and revived. Everyone can improve the condition of their hair and scalp in the same way they nurture their face and body. With Philip B.'s great, botanically derived products, and a strong consciousness, you can restore optimal health to your scalp and youthful condition to your hair with your very first treatment. This celebrated, one-of-a-kind hair and scalp revitalizer has been described by Vogue Magazine as giving "you the hair of a heroine in a romance novel -- the hair you always dreamed of"; Forbes Magazine called it on of "the top 100 things that are worth every penny." It is Philip B's secret weapon! As a refreshing facial for the scalp, the treatment normalizes scalp circulation, clarifies build-up of excess cells, sebum and product, leaving your scalp feeling cool and tingly-clean. As a deep conditioner for hair, the botanical Rejuvenating Oil imparts into strands, leaving them plump, smooth and shining with health. The excess rinses clean, so there's no added weight the way there is with most oil treatments -- you're simply left with sumptuous bounce, shine and movement.
Four Step Hair & Scalp Facial Treatment Kit should be used on very dehydrated/damaged hair twice a week; on dry hair once a week; and on normal hair one to four times a month. For dehydrated scalp and hair, use once or twice a week.
This treatment is highly beneficial one to two days before applying color. The oil treatment evens out hair's porosity, clarifies and conditions so that the color will deposit evenly, with more shine and longevity.
*A detailed instruction card is included within the kit: It's vital that you follow all directions to achieve optimal results.
Back in 1991, celeb hair stylist Philip B. set out to design a lightweight conditioning oil that would nourish hair without leaving the strands heavy or limp. The result was Philip B. Rejuvenating Oil, the first product in became a full hair care collection. The Philip B. collection includes products that have earned award wins from VOGUE, Real Simple, Esquire and Allure.
A Bit DisappointedI purchased this product because I colored my hair from blonde highlights to it's natural color brown. My scalp became dry and sensitive and I could not find relief in my regular products. I have long hair and using this product is a bit of a hassle. I tried it three times and noticed a slight change. It is a month later and my scalp continues to be the same. Unfortunately for me, it was not worth the money.

Worth Every Penny!!!!!!The first time I used this product I did the entire most extreme treatment: Put the oil on my hair in sections, put a few minutes of heat on it, plastic hair bag overnight, in the morning lather with shampoo THEN wash it out, etc....My scalp was on a whole new level--I imagined this is whole celebrities felt with such treatment...my head NEVER felt so good -beyond pampered almost angelic!!!! I live in a cold climate and usually suffer from icky dandruff in the winter...not anymore!

CONSOL Energy Inc. has announced that it will idle its Emery Mine and furlough 171 employees there beginning Dec. 1. The layoffs will impact about 135 hourly and 36 salaried workers. They were briefed on Oct. 1. CONSOL explained that the mine will be idled because its production costs are higher than regional competitors and market conditions.
The Emery Mine uses continuous mining machines and room-and-pillar methods while other mines use longwall techniques.
The mine also has an unsold inventory of about 250,000 tons which is about three months of production at its 1.1 million ton annual output.
"It is unfortunate that we need to take this action, since the employees at Emery Mine have worked safely for more than 400 days without a single injury, and have done everything they could to keep the operation running," said Jimmy Brock, CONSOL Energy senior vice president of operations.
Brock added that employees who are interested and can qualify will be offered the option of transferring to another company operation.
The Emery Mine is the only CONSOL coal mine east of the Mississippi.
Payroll at the mine has been around $10 million and it has been paying applicable taxes at its Utah operation of about $7 million. CONSOL will also begin idling its 84 Mine near Washington, Pa., beginning Dec. 1, laying off 60 workers.
The layoffs will have a severe impact on the county.

Serial transmit pin is PB3 / Arduino pin 3 / DIP package pin 2. Basically, the transmit pin is the first I/O pin in the upper-left corner.
Did I get all this correct?
Works like a charm.
Not having to close the terminal window for each download is much better, and I can use any terminal or serial application I want.
I put a socketed ATTiny85, decouple cap and ICP connector on a proto-board so I can plug it into my breadboard.
Now known as Tinyduino (is that taken?).
So at this point I have I2C slave working
what about to add the Attiny4313 support to Tiny core ? ( attiny2313 bigger brother ) are you planning to do it?
I designed this to use 8 pin ATtinys ,
got a few so if anyone want them, they can have them cheap:
I changed a little the original core files to add support for te 4313 (on the 2313 base)
after creating a board.txt entry for my tests, i've been able to compile the blink setch and it works
With the library BroHogan published?
Yep, BHogan TinyWireS lib as documented above in Reply #28.
just to add a basic support i've changed the 2313 ifdefinitions like this:if defined( __AVR_ATtiny2313__ ) || defined( __AVR_ATtiny4313__ )
