The Rogers Park/Edgewater area is chock-full of different cuisines—Ethiopian, Thai, Peruvian, Mexican, Korean, etc... But it was somehow missing jerk chicken. The smoky, spicy Caribbean staple is one of the great simple pleasures in life, so the prospect of a restaurant in the area serving it almost exclusively had me very excited.
The chicken used in the Jerk Chicken Sandwich at Jerky Jerk ($7.95) is a bit different than the delicious looking (and smelling) meat used in the jerk chicken meals. Instead of spiced and grilled, it's lightly breaded and fried, covered in a "sweet fire sauce." The chicken itself is impressively delicate, with just a small coating of flour to add a little flavor. It was also fairly moist, though some seasoning in the dredge could have improved it. Thick cuts of tomato added some extra juiciness to the sandwich, even though they were very much the product of winter.
The highlight, as with many a Caribbean dish, was the sauce. There were hits of citrus for sweetness, sautéed onions for savory, and just a hint of spicy. It was so good I wanted to dip my fries in it.
It's not a particularly fancy sandwich, nor does it match the classic image of the dish, but it is still a worthy addition to the diversity of the area.

While on the tour, they were scouted by Tooth & Nail Records, who signed them in 2007 and released their debut full-length, There Came a Lion, in February 2008.

I am no longer taking new commissions.
Hello Everyone,
As you know, I have made and continue to make the soft parts for Boba Fett, ROTJ, ESB, and Pre-Pro versions. For now, I will post a picture of one my my most recent commissions.
In these pictures the Flightsuit, Flak Vest, Neckseal, Soft belt pouches, and spats are the parts that I have created. THIS CAPE IN THE PICTURE IS NOT MADE BY ME.
This is IrishFett in the picture below.
:) Thanks for the awesome pics Lance!
The flightsuit has all screen accurate details including the double sleeve, seam detail that runs horizontally in center front and center back of all 4 sleeves, thigh pockets, shin tool pockets. For comfort, I also add the following features which are not seen, but make the suit more comfortable to wear; An action back sleeve, which is a feature to allow more comfort in back shoulder movement, adjustable elastic inner waistband/belt, two way zipper, and more. I can add the hose holes in the back of the sleeves upon request, for no additional charge. This is $225 which includes free shipping in the U.S.
The flak vest is made of the most screen accurate material available, Greyish color tackle twill. In my years of sewing for the Fett's, I have found only one supplier for this most accurate material, in the proper color. This is not available for purchase by the yard, I purchase this material by the roll in bulk, and I have a regular supply on hand. :) This is $95, also with free shipping in the U.S.
The neckseal is made of the same material as the flak vest. I can attach it to the flightsuit, or I can make it as a separate piece, with a dickie. This is $45.00 with the same free shipping.
The cloth belt pouches for ESB version are made of the same material as the flightsuit. The pouches are different sizes and the flaps slant in the same direction. For ROTJ, the pouches are the same size and the flaps mirror each other. I offer these for $45.
I am now also offering the cape. I do need to mention again THE CAPE IN THE PICTURE ABOVE IS NOT MINE. I do not have pictures at this time. I can make this for either ROTJ or for ESB, unweathered for $45.
The spats, which are needed for ROTJ version are $15. They have a velcro closure.
Other payment details:
At this time, my current turnaround time is about 5 months from the first payment. I am now offering payments, 50% with the order, and the balance when it is ready to ship. I do need to add sales tax if you are in California.
If you have any questions, or would like more details, etc... I would prefer contact via email. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com
I do also have a website, check it out.... LadySewforus
Thanks for looking!

I am currently applying to various TEFL programs in Eastern Europe in January of 2012, with the goal of finding job placement in Russia or the Ukraine afterward. I am finding it difficult to confidently choose a program. I know the CELTA is globally respectable and probably the surest bet, but for the most part the only affordable and timely CELTA programs are run by International House, of which I have heard mixed reviews. Do you know anything about International House programs, specifically in Eastern European places (Russia, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland)?
I am also wondering about the Trinity TESOL program. I have an interview tomorrow morning with a program offering this certification in Prague. I've heard generally good things, but it is surprisingly hard to find much in the way of solid, reliably unbiased info about TEFL programs on the internet. Is the Trinity TESOL as respected as the CELTA?
I'm worried because I live in the US and won't be able to afford to have a real gap between my program completion and employment, and graduating in early February I'll be cutting it pretty close to the start of Russian spring semesters.
Any insight you could provide would be very helpful! Thanks,

At the People's Unity Day on Sunday, several groups of racist xenophobic people marched through the streets shouting ugly attacks on ethnic minorities. Many of the marchers were young people who had shaved their heads and wore black army boots and khaki pants as they shouted racist insults. The Movement Against Illegal Immigration mixed with Russia Marches and the People's Union who walked with signs "Russia For Russians, "Beat The Jews," and "Anti-Fascist Suck." They were even joined by an American representative, Preston Wiginton of Texas who represented American groups who agree with white racism. There were also large numbers of pro-Putin youth groups.
Is should not be surprising to have such nationalistic groups marching on Russian streets. President Putin has conveyed a nationalistic bent in his manner of talking and his attempts to stifle all opposition to the one man rule which is very evident in modern Russia.

There are lots of tools out there to help you stay organized. We asked professionals from across the industry to share the apps that keep them organized. Here are five of their favorites.
HolcimWeatherAPP Concrete QC Consultant Gary Herron suggests this tool from Holcim, to stay up to date on the latest local pouring conditions. The free weatherApp provides forecasted evaporation rate based on: average wind speed, relative humidity and air temperature.
Citrix Receiver This tool, which allows you to access your data and desktop from anywhere, is "crucial to keeping you connected when you're not connected," said Lincoln Talbert, plant manager at Irving Materials, Inc., Smithville, Tn.
CNG Now "Many of our new vehicles are powered by Compressed Natural Gas, we use the CNG Now app, as well as the AFDC app, to locate CNG stations and plan routes," said Tim Ozinga, marketing communications director, Ozinga Bros., Inc., Mokena, Ill.
Invoice 2 Go Industry professional Ryan Seppanen suggested this leading customer invoice tool, offering custom templates which can be created to match the specific needs of your company.
TripIt "I like it because after you make reservations, it can automatically spot email receipts and include them on an itinerary," said Joni L. Jones, P.E., Materials Laboratory Services, CTL Group, Skokie, Ill. "I like how I can see all my reservations in one spot, rather than having printed paper and/or trying to look up individual emails for reservation confirmations. I also like how my itinerary is shared with my husband so he knows where I'm supposed to be."

text: Ed Reform ALERT The state Senate passed the Education Reform Act of 2009 on November 17 by a vote of 28 to 11. In considering the bill, senators adopted two very important amendments supported by the MTA -- one that protects our collective bargaining rights in schools designated as underperforming and another that protects teachers from being terminated at will in underperforming schools. MTA members made a huge difference in this process, sending more than 7,000 e-mails to legislators, as well as making phone calls and joining MTA lobbyists in lobbying legislators face to face. We thank you for this effort, but continued action is crucial. Please e-mail your state representative right away! Though what will happen next is not certain, the House may take up this legislation on November 18 -- and we need to make our voices heard. Please e-mail members of the House and urge them to support the crucial MTA-supported amendments that were passed in the Senate. We need to convey the message that the MTA supports extraordinary measures to help underperforming schools, but the proposed legislation will not succeed in improving student achievement unless the revisions made in the Senate are retained. The amendments promote true collaboration and dialogue that will allow educators to bring their expertise to bear in closing the achievement gap and turning around underperforming schools. We also need to give credit to Governor Deval Patrick for his role and leadership, since the bill passed in the Senate builds on the goals the governor laid out for helping to turn around underperforming schools. The governor is supportive of teachers and understands the crucial role they play every day in helping to turn around underperforming schools. The MTA applauds the fact that for the first time in major education legislation, the Commonwealth is recognizing the necessity of going beyond the school building to work with parents and the community to create the supportive and healthy environment that is crucial to help students learn. The legislation sets up a process for including all community stakeholders in addressing the achievement gap – understanding that only through collaboration and mutual respect can this be accomplished. The Senate took major steps to restore teachers and their unions as partners in this process and to ensure that the due process rights of teachers are respected. Now it is essential to ask our state representatives to make sure that the positive steps supported by Governor Patrick and the Senate remain intact as the House considers the bill. One extremely important amendment was introduced by Senator Ken Donnelly (D-Arlington). It says that in order to change provisions of collective bargaining contracts in underperforming schools, the local union and school committee must bargain for 30 days. If they were unable to reach an agreement, there would be an expedited final and binding arbitration process. That amendment passed 35 to 4. Another vital amendment, introduced by Senator Gale Candaras (D-Wilbraham) prevents teachers in Level 4 and Level 5 underperforming schools from being fired at will. This provision was passed on a voice vote. This amendment will prevent teachers from being dismissed without cause and will keep due process rights intact. Another amendment was passed to change the process for approving Horace Mann schools. The amendment requires that a majority of teachers in a building agree to a memorandum of understanding to waive any provisions of the contract before an existing school receives a charter to become a Horace Mann school. For a new school where there is no faculty in place, however, the superintendent is given the power to waive provisions of the contract. It is unlikely that the House will take up the bill on November 18, but this has not been officially announced. That is why your continued action is crucial. Please e-mail your state representative right away! Also, passed was an amendment by Senator Karen Spilka to add MTA's proposal for an adequacy study.

After finally, finally recieving my Laws TS Commander kit (which was way overdue and no.. it is not worth the wait the extra wait. Why say 6-8 weeks when infact it's gonna be 8 months!? but that is another topic) in december i put this project on full throttle and now it is completed and awaiting approval.
Anyway.. after completing my ROTJ SE Fett and with my trip to Finsé (Hoth) to celebrate 30 years since ESB i started to make plans for a Snowtrooper. But what is cooler than a Snowtrooper? A Snowtrooper Commander. And let face it... they do look pretty bad as with that hard face plate. And having been a BH for some time now i like to stand out a bit from a crowd and a TS Commander certainly does that too.
And whilst we are comparing TS Commanders to Fett... who has even less screen time and lines than a Snowtrooper Commander?

I tried to use the directions to make my knee armor using the three pieces to make the main body of the knee and get the curved shape. It was working okay at first, but the two ) pieces kept snapping off when I would try to fill in the crevices.:angry
I searched around and found something at Meijer that I thought matched the shape pretty close. A "fungo" bat. The big over-sized bat and wiffle balls that they sell in the toy section. I bought one there for 1.99 and brought it home, cut out and assembled the template and it fit over the curvature of the end of the bat almost perfectly.
The plastic of the bat was a little more flimsy than I was expecting once I cut it open, but I just reinforced the back with bondo:
The brand on the bat is Ja-Ru toys and they come in red and yellow (I chose yellow because it was such a nice match to the ending color anyways!!)
If you line up the templates carefully enough you can get both main knee-body pieces out of one bat!

What do you mean "nobody would post them"? Did you mean, nobody would sell it or ship it to you? I have one at home, somewhere, but it's not for sale. I know of some people that they use the spark plug filler gauge, BUT, here is the BUT, they use the correct size or very, very close to the correct size.
Have you tried emailing Dan Wesson and see if they have it and mail it to you?

I second that. Woot needs to have double-take derbies more often. So many times there is a 4th shirt that plenty of people want to buy.
I'd love to be able to buy this somewhere else though.
Thirded. I was really bummed this didn't get printed. Set my alarm just so that I could buy before it sold out!... but then it wasn't being sold. Would you mind letting us know if you get it printed somewhere else?

Yup ... I REALLY had my heart set on this shirt. Was trying to will it into the top 3.
Hope to see it on another site. I'll definitely grab one!
Re: Electronica
This shirt is perfect.
Please let me know if you'll offer this
thanks for all the great comments, I really appreciate the support...
I probably won't print this on my site, especially after the honorable mention, but I'm really glad you guys liked it! I've got a lot of investment in t-shirt inventory already, so I have to sell some of that first

Just thought you'd like to know, this shirt was spotted on Nickelodeon's "Victorious", worn by character Andre in the 1-hour "Freak the Freak Out" special recently aired.
is this available for purchase anywhere else?

Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, said both parties may be realizing that short-term fixes are no longer possible.
"It is encouraging that the people are talking because it demonstrates that they are not stupid, that they can look at what is happening," Bixby said. "Both sides dug themselves into a rhetorical hole, and they need each other to climb out of that hole."

i am wanting to know, as im lookiing to purchase a ESB helmet...preferably painted.
The fettpride GMH is the accurate one, mostly because it was casted from an original ILM helmet (the Pre-Pro #2), while the bobamaker helmet is a fan made helmet, but specially made to achieve the ESB look (the physical damages, but the most important features are the argued helmet flare and the wavy brow). The only physical difference between the GMH (Pre-Pro #2) and ESB helmet is the overall size of the helmet and the physical damages applied by the original painters.
is the pre-pro #2 helmet exactly the same helmet used in the ESB movie? overall size means bobamakers is more accurate?
The PP2 helmet and all the helmets ROTJ, ESB PP3 etc were all once SuperTrooper helmets cast from the same mold like the Stormtrooper helmets are all the same. The GMH is THE closest thing to a screen used helmet in size and shape you will get as of now its the closest in lineage to the screen used helmet. Unless someone was to mold the ESB helmet or something which I highly doubt would ever happen
Which one would be the smaller of the two?
I'm pretty sure the GMH is smaller but I haven't seen either in person. Just from what I've heard.
The GMH is smaller than the BM lid from what I've heard. GMH on the left and a Mystery Helmet on the right which is very similar to the BM lid.
not having the ears on the GMH makes it look smaller then it really is...just sayin
i always thought the mystery helmet was bigger than the BM. If i recall correctly, before the GMH, people said the BM helmet was the smallest available helmet..some even said it was too small. What are the thoughts on this now that the GMH has been released? Does anyone have both a BM and a GMH with the ears on it to compare?
I'm a big fan of the TF lid. It fits me great and TF is very talented and a top notch guy. ASOK has the old FP mold and its nice and he's a good dude. BM lid is very nice too and he's very reputable. Never seen a GMH, but prepare to wait years if you want one. We have some great makers of lids here man. Cant go wrong with anyone, just my opinion though. I'm no pro.
How is the CC Asok lid in size compared to the GMH?
If only BM would fix his inaccurate dent and too thin RF stalk...
When i repaint my BM lid, (cuz i will eventually lol) Im going to fill in those lines in the dent to make it look more accurate. The main shape is good, its just those prominent crease lines that need to go. Actually i may do that before i repaint it. I can just repaint the dent :)
Where can i get a cast of the ''mystery helmet''?
And does TF still make helmets?

Awesome post, not a hard job, but as a novice gave me the confidence to do it myself and avoid the labor cost. I do have to give a shout out to Dave at dp motorwerks in Virginia beach who recommended I look at replacing this before tearing into the dash.

Thank you!!
I am pretty much a non mechanical guy. The one who typically cracks, or breaks something. Times have been a little tough lately, so when the ac/ heater blower went out we knew it had to be fixed asap, as we live in hot/cold Northern Arizona. I got on Bimmerfest and did some reading. Ordered the part online for $80.00, and got it in 2 days. Went thru your thread twice, then did the whole job in about 20 minutes, and the problem was fixed! Saved me about $250, as quoted by by local BMW dude.!!
Again, thank you a ton!!
Just installed a new one after our first heatwave of the year. I wish the all went that smooth
Thank you Elvis

www.540i6.com "they all do that" FSU
RE: Getting the right resistor...there are two different ones listed ..but it's not obvious which one was right.
The only hiccup I ran into was when I ordered the FSU they sent me what the parts catalog showed...and it worked...but it had
a squarish head (all the pins were in a square area) not the triangle pattern of the new one.
The resistor worked fine...but it didn't fit in.
I figured it didn't matter much...it's inside the blower path I guess to cool the heat sink down...but I couldn't imagine it being
a big deal if it didn't fit right as far as performance.
Instead I called Autozone where I bought the part and they found another number a year newer (I have a 2000 528) and a slightly different
model (530) and it was the right one. It was about $50 and fine for my purposes.
I also learned to check the posts on this subject to make sure it was the right car. There were some other solutions...and they were
listed on E 39...but instructions were for different model. So I've learned to look at the car talked about in the thread first.
Also...be slow and patient like you said. Nothing needs to be forced.
I live where it's in the mid 90's (and often up in high 90's) so not having a/c wasn't even a consideration.
Now it's blowing hard and cool...and I love it.
Thanks for this post...very well done..thorough..I followed and it didn't take much time at all.
Its amazing all the problems we have with our AC on our bimmers. I was in my fiancee's 2012 Honda accord and her brand new car's AC did not get cooler than my 01 E39 540 with minor AC issues. Just thought that was kind of nuts.
I found this thread and other stating the AC issue was the FSU, I purchases one for $110 and it worked fine for the first three days, now on the fourth day the fan does not shut off.
Everything works with the AC, lighting, climate control adjustment, front & rear air, and it blows nice and cold, but when I shut the engine off, the fan is still running. I see from other threads that going to kill my battery soon, so hopefully someone has a fix for this issue.
Well that didn't take to long, about 10 hours and the battery is dead. Atleast my wife was at home when it died. A neighbor helped her jump start the X5 but I made sure they removed the fuses for the Air Conditioner, and fuses 75 and 76 for the Air Blower.
Fuses 75 and 76 are large fuses 30 and 40 Amp, that connects to relays to the Climate Control. The 30Amp Fuse is utilized when the Climate Controls are the halfway position and lower. When the Climate Controls are in positions higher than half then the power is routed to the 40 Amp Fuse and different relays.
It could be the bad FSU, but it sounds more like a relay issue. Tomorrow I will take it to an Air Conditioner Specialist and see how much it going to break me.
Elvis--thanks for the post; remarkable instructions and excellent pictures. Good job.
Replacing the final stage unit/blower
Thank you so much! Very easy - 30 minutes for me. Just a little trouble getting the plug out, but went great, turned the air on and works great! Thanks again, saved me about $300.00. That is what I was told at the local BMW shop.

Wow 2013 and still helping with the best tread on the net
Hi All,
A little about me: I have a background in the electronics industry of about 30 odd years, so as a result I repair electronics modules for my local Independent BMW garage.
I'm simply amazed how long this thread has been going. These E39's are getting old hat now and finding out any information on them is starting to get very hard.
There are some very knowledgeable people here, and this thread in particular provides a very in-depth solution to a potentially bank breaking problem.
I have only just (last month) bought my E39 and I love it, no question the best car I have ever owned. As it seems these cars have their share of niggles and faults and as a result of reading this thread I'll be acquiring as spare FSU for the tool box.
Just as an addition to this wonderful thread here is a little extra info I don't believe I have read any where here... From the pictures found elsewhere in this forum of a stripped out FSU link: http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/att...0&d=1363957253
I hope I don't bore anyone too much... Here goes...
These Final Stage Units are basically a PWM controller and not a resistor. The main AC control unit sends a variable voltage signal to the FSU much in the same way the brightness is controlled in a laptop or similar to the way you would adjust the lighting in your house with a dimmer switch. Basically inside your AC control unit is a digital potential divider (Variable Resistor), so with this in mind one could use a simple variable resistor modified to output the same control voltage as the AC unit. That way we have a way to test these units on the bench.
The IC you see on the board labelled Elmos 10901D seems to be an OP-Amp. Even though no datasheet is available for this IC, some searching found a Russian site claiming this IC is not special but just an LM711. It can't be anything to out of the ordinary as BMW GMBH would not release a schematic, but aftermarket pattern FSU's are manufactured by several different companies.
I would be very interested in getting my hands on an FSU in the same state as the one I have linked to so I could have ago at reverse engineering one and maybe we could all have a better understanding of why these units fail, how we could fully test one (above), suggest some sort of "beefing up" of the circuit to make it more reliable.
After all to BMW I would assume this part is basically a consumable that they can charge lots of money for. Even £40 quid is too much for something that is about £15 quid's worth of electronics, probably including the custom heatsink.
Anyway that's my ten penn'orth worth and I hope it helps.
P.S. If anyone has an FSU in the state as the linked picture and want to donate it for experimentation just let me know.
As a mechanical idiot, I said why not...so I ordered a new Final stage from EAC (ACM/Sitronic). I got under the dash, unclipped the cabling..but the unlock for the Final Stage would not release. With my big hands/body, there was no way to contortion myself to use both hands. That's when a lightbulb in my little brain went on. I clipped on a set of vise grips to the old one's electrical connector, and pushed the clip with my now free hand. The weight of the vise grips moved it enough to clear the clip. I have a/c again (controllable too) ....woo hoo. Thanks to all for the pics and tips. Other than cramped quarters, it wasn't too bad.
The old one was a "BMW
and looks like the original "03"
PS I love my car...
PSS I could have a newer car, but I bet, not a better driving/fun to drive car.

thanks a lot for this post, my Haynes book has a typo and I was looking for the FSU on the drivers side, spent many hours trying to get this fixed, my wife complained to no end about it. But with your post I was able to complete this in about 30 minutes and tested great, thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My local repair shop wanted $150 USD for 30minutes of this work, so glad I never gave them that $.
Apparently, on the UK models, the FSU is on the drivers side...perhaps the book was for the UK ??
As a follow-up, my a/c is now so cold I have to almost turn it to min fan speed, and jack up the dual temp settings...perhaps mine was acting up for a few years, I just didn't know it.

Found this thread, made the job an easy fix. As I was initially trying to unplug the plug from the FSU, the FSU tab released. This made it a little more difficult to wiggle the plug out from it. I was able to do so within a few minutes. I also had a little difficulty with the new FSU snapping into place. It was just barely short of snapping into place. After a handful of attempts, it finally became snapped in. So far the new FSU has worked. The old one caused the blower to act erratically at times, but worse than that, within seconds of shutting off the engine, the blower would start up or barely attempt to start over and over. This didn't happen every time, but was becoming more frequent. By morning, the battery didn't have enough juice to start the car. Because of this thread, the problem has been solved and I saved a little money by installing it myself. Thanks all.
After spending a lot of time reading the excellent postings in this thread and thanks to BlueBee for the links my fan is blowing cold air. A big deal during summer in Texas.
I would like to summarize some things that would help those in the future.
First if you fan is not running or running erratic the FSU is suspect, not guilty.
Remove the FSU per the wonderful instructions presented here. Then the next thing to do is check the resistance of each pin. This requires a Volt Ohm meter. A fact of life is if you are going to do DIY repairs a good Volt Ohm meter is required period. A surgeon does not work with a straight razor, nor can the Mechanic work with a cheap meter or without one. Invest a few dollars in a good one. I have owned my Fluke for 15 years and I did pay around $200 for it. An investment that has pay for it self many times.
There are drawings in this tread that has resistance values of each of the 5 pins. BlueBee had some links also. Just set your Ohm Meter to resistance and have one probe touch the pin and the other to the longer aluminum pins in the back of the FSU.
In my case two of the pins where open, no resistance at all. BINGO I thought, it is the FSU.
Being an older Engineer I did wanted to ensure that the fan was working. I have been down this path too many times with my Engineers during lab check out, not checking everything.
To do this you need to ground Pin One on the plug connector. And take power from plug two to plug five. Be very careful the power at plug two has a 40 amp fuse. When I did this fan fired up and I was assured the the FSU was the cause. Here is the diagram of the plug. This was something that was missing in everything I looked at and is important to validated that you have a good fan.
5 (Fan High Speed)----------------4
3----------------------2 (Fused 40A Power)---------------1 (Ground)
I even soldered ends (small brass tubes) to wires so that they would fit into the plug and an alligator clip on one of the wires end to attach to a ground. I used bracket near the transmission tunnel around the carpet as the ground attach point. At one point I used paper clips and the one at the plug 2 shorted, melted and then caught the print outs I had laying on the carpet on fire. Lucky nothing was damaged and nothing burnt. LUCKY!!! and that is why I soldered ends to real copper wires.
I purchased a new FSU at the dealership and did so because Autobahn in Fort Worth gives a BMWCCA discount and when I need something I don't mind paying a little more for a part.
As of this writing the car is blowing nice cool air and 100 degrees in Texas is not an issue.
Note: if you are having issue with paying out $200 for a meter, what would be the cost just to have someone, dealership or independent, figure out what was wrong?
Hi All,
I want to order fsu from bavauto also...but they have 2 choices; the bosch oem resistor for $115 and the behr replacement resistor for $44.
I believe both should work equally well. Obviously I want to order the cheaper one and I was just wondering which one to order (I have a 1998 528i).
Thanks for any help!

I bought a Behr FSU from AutoHausAZ and it works fine.
I had my FSU out so long, that I forgot where it goes back!
I had to review all the in situ pictures of this thread to find the little clip it goes into.
Here, for others to benefit, are the best pictures showing WHERE the E39 FSU lies in place:

This is an excellent post. Thank you very much Elvis for doing this.
I actually had to refer to this post twice. I still have my 2003 530i. I replaced the FSU once with an oem part I purchased online at one of those companies that sells BMW oem parts. It lasted less than 3 years.
So this time I decided to get one from a BMW dealership online that discounts parts.
I have not read every reply but I wanted to say I found the easiest way to remove the wire harness and the FSU was to lay on my back with my legs toward the rear of the car and with my upper torso and shoulders resting underneath the glove box. Doing so I was able to get both hands in there to do the job.
Sudbury, Massachusetts
Final stage unit/blower motor resister (E39)
This information was awesome. Identified the problem, ordered the part and fixed in 5 days!
Yet another FSU replacement
I'm trying this on a 1998 528i (US model). There seems to be a big @ss plastic duct in the way that is making it very difficult to reach the tab at the bottom of the FSU. I think that all the DIY posts I've seen and Youtube videos have only a small round plastic duct. Mine is like the air filter resonator box and goes from the floor up to where the FSU sits.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm having a very difficult time getting the leverage to push the tab down and pull at the same time. I'm going to try putting the wires clip back in and use it for leverage to pull when pushing down on the tab (the tab is very stiff and I'm not even sure it's the right thing to be pushing down on).
I'm at the stage where if this doesn't work I may have to take off the entire glove compartment and see if there is any way in from above.
Any ideas?
How I solved the Tab on the FSU
I left the wire harness attached. I have a special wrench that is angled for bleeding brakes without removing the wheel. I was able to slip one end up under the squarish plastic duct so that the end (which was at 90 degrees to the shaft) of the wrench rested on top of the tab at the bottom of the FSU.
I pulled straight down with the wrench and grabbed where the wire harness is attached (but on the opposite sides of where the clips are) and pulled. The wrench gave me enough of a purchase on the tab that pulling straight down allowed the FSU to clear it.
Now I'm just hoping that it doesn't have any issues (the FSU) because my battery didn't have enough power to turn the engine - even though I could operate the fan, the windshield washer nozzles etc. I just got that notorious clicking sound. I have the trickle charger hooked up and we'll see later.

6:00 PM EST TV: FS Detroit / NBA league Pass Radio: TBD
What about Walker, Daye, JJ, Macklin, Monroe as the starters for this one.
I have been picking against the Pistons the final 12 games of the year...not that I want to see them lose, but it would be nice if they just improved their draft position. If I keep picking against the Pistons, they'll cancel my membership at the PF... I do like your starting lineup..........
"Counting down the days or making the days count? I choose make the days count, everyday is a gift" - Charlie Villanueva, via Twitter.
Both teams appear to be tanking, but the Piston giving a better effort at the taynking process by shooting 29% from the floor and 55% from the line with 5 mins left in the half and down 24-22.... Too bad the fans have to pay for this quality of non-play...
I think the Pistons are trying.
This is just sad
Raptors get robbed on a goaltending by Monroe that wasn't called. Even the officials are botching our tanking efforts.
No tanking here.....Coach Frankie looked and sounded like he wanted a win in that last defensive huddle.....no matter what Joe told him this morning... Good win for the fans~
LFrank: Brandon, Y u no tank? To the bench with you! Casey: Demar, Y u no tank? Sit and suffer for it. Kinda obvious. I've alternated between being on the fence and against (or, admittedly today, for ) tanking throughout the season, but I guess it's a moot point now after the refs derailed their tanking efforts tonight.
having won, it'sa official: this team is not even able to tank properly. That would have been a veeeeeeeeeeeeery important loss...
Nothing fires me up quite like Ben Gordon getting hot in the 4th Q to defeat a hapless opponent late in the year.
Absolutely. Anyone have that number for the Palace box office? I can't fight the urge to throw down for a season ticket package for '12/'13.

Understanding Your Non-Puppy Purchased/Adopted Dog
First, let me say puppies transition pretty rapidly. They have very little life experience and bounce on off into a new life pretty darned easily and pretty darned happily.
As to an older dog say 5-6+ months whether purchased or adopted there is thread after thread on this site about my new dog and behavior in the first day or two or week. I just thought I would make a point/start a thread to point out a dog really needs time to transition. People tend to expect the dog to perfectly fit in and be super happy and loving from the first minute onwards. Its pretty unrealistic and unfair to the dog. How many dogs get returned that would have been wonderful in a week, month, two months? People are expecting waaaayyyy to much too fast.
Yes! There are dogs who walk in and mesh with the family instantly, never make a mistake or have an accident, accept the routine at face value and go with it, and within an hour seem like they had been there their whole life. I had one of those. It was great. This particular dog belonged to an older lady who went into a home, he was thrown into a rescue with a bunch of dogs and NO special attention and hated it there, and when he came to me he was SO glad to have a quiet home with personal attention he ate it up and loved every second from the first second he was home.
However, more often than not, these dogs have a ton of changes and they cant just fit in seamlessly. Example: I got a dog that had a home where he was treated just fine, he had a breeding mate, they were both turned into animal control amongst 700 dogs (it was really horrendous). A no-kill pulled them and uprooted them again to a new place. They were taken to a groomer and cleaned up. They were taken to the vet and neutered/spayed and had a dental done. She was adopted almost immediately and he was not. He was the saddest thing I have ever seen even though the rescue treated him well and he clearly liked the staff. He missed his mate and it really was something he never recovered from on some deep down level. Once to my home, he knew NOTHING. It was then that I realized he spoke only Spanish. Once I used my crummy high-school Spanish I found he had basic training. We had to transition to English. The dog literally had to learn a new language. He was only partially housebroken (likely had a doggy door). He had to learn to really hold it and wait no matter what. He made some mistakes but he got it since he was halfway there but we had to work on it. He had to meet all our friends. We had a lot of people who came over often and he had to learn them all and accept them all. Also, we had cats. He was a gentle soul, and he accepted them well. It took a long time for him to get close to them, but he behaved pretty well from the beginning. Then, we traveled a lot and off we went, huge car trips, crowds, noises, camping in a tent trailer. He got car sick, was scared of the noises, but he truly did love the crowds. We adjusted to the car and the noises and the camping. Then, it was off to school (in English). The dog had to now perform advanced tasks he had never been asked to do before. He did the best he could and picked it up quickly. In the space of 9 months he went from abandoned at animal control to holding the CGC. If I had given up on him when he didnt speak English and peed on the floor the first time, well, I cant even imagine not having that beloved boy share my life for 10 years. It took him about a month for his tail to even be carried upwards. There were things we never did get over (He ate a bible for example! He was a bolter but we managed his environment).
My point look at ALLLLLL we expect of a dog. I can tell you right now if we asked a human to make that many changes so quickly, the human would end up institutionalized. When you get an older dog, just realize they have had a home, a life, a set of rules, friends, a daily routine, family, other companion animals, maybe even another language, and suddenly EVERYTHING changes. Give them a chance to transition. A month or three is common. Some really bad situations can take 6 months or a year before the dog truly belongs and fits in. Dont expect instant happiness and understanding of the rules. Give the dog time and give the dog your patience.
Feel free to add your anecdotes of bringing in dogs so others understand not only the challenges but the rewards but most of all the time it takes to blend a dog into the family. Maybe having such a thread, a definitive guide to new dogs, then we can refer people to it instead of telling people over and over how to merge a dog into the home and how much time and patience it can take.
I have brought several in at an older age. Each one took a different amount of time to adjust completely. I think they adjust for the most part fairly quickly, with a few things that need work. Midnite, my male GSD took about 3-4 months to completely adjust. He has turned into a wonderful dog. Really all of them have. They are a commitment and once I take them in they aren't going anywhere. I don't feel they are disposable and I understand that by moving them from home to home can be even worse, so they stay put with me.
I took a 3-4 year old bitch and her 6 month old daughter out of a horrendous breeding farm along with several others. The mom adapted quickly, and with little effort. The daughter remained shy and frightened for months. I did eventually find the perfect home for her. It was a sad testament to her genuinely sweet nature that in the dark, faced with strangers with flashlights, injured and peeing on herself, she stayed quiet and let me slip a lead on her and lift her from the cage she had been born in. I even got a kiss for my efforts. She has blossomed into a truly amazing girl, but it took months of gentle, patient handling and love.
Mom on the other hand took to the good life with the resilience and grace of a lady. Soaking up the lessons and love like a sponge and never looking back.
IMO it has a lot to do with personality. I have seen 6 week old pups traumatized to the point that it is a lifelong struggle to help them, and mature dogs bounce back without a problem.
Whatever the case, there is no set in stone schedule for their recovery. If a person is going to take them on, you need to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best but giving up should never be an option.
Just thinking about what you said about our expectations of dogs and how they can be so excessive that no human could comply. I was thinking that the other day when I was reading a post where someone said they wanted their dog to be "protective and friendly to all people." I really started reflecting on how big of an expectation that is and how we can easily but excessive pressure on our furry friends.
Thank you for the addition. This was my PSA of the week -- think about what our animals go through to get where they are. Think about those taken from mommas or displaced from a family or taken from an only-dog home to a shelter with many many animal or from a doggy door to holding it or ... or ... Just thought I would point out that I hear SO many high expectations of a brand new dog. Why can't my puppy potty train at 9 weeks? Why can't my brand new dog have recall after 1 day at our house? Why does the dog show fear of my husband, she's been here a WHOLE week? I think dogs are amazing for the transitions they do make, but sometimes expectations are WAY too high TOO fast. I will return the dog, it doesn't seem to like it here, it's been 3 days. Time, give it time, and understanding. Yes, some just mesh right in and take it as it all comes. Others struggle with it. Would you want someone to be a little kind and gentle and patient? Force you on a hike? Put you in a room and not come talk to you or spend time with you? Keep changing your food and water from thing to thing suddenly so your stomach hurts? What would you be like if it were YOU? Hope this helps someone, someday, be more patient and see the potential in their dog rather than giving up.

Hi all,
I'll be moving to Warsaw, Poland this Summer and I am interested in taking a teaching course beforehand. I realise CELTA is probably the best option although I'm not sure I'll be able to fit one in before I leave. Is a TEFL course -weekend and on- line worth considering? I would expect Warsaw to be the place with the most jobs but almost the most competition.
Any help would be gratefully recieved. Also, if anyone knows of any contacts in Warsaw regarding teaching English jobs, or has moved there previously to find teaching work then please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Amos Lee
Having won a small following for his blend of acoustic funk, folk, and light jazz, Lee returned one year later with his sophomore effort, Supply and Demand, featuring the single "Shout Out Loud." Produced by former Wallflowers and Natalie Merchant bassist Barrie Maguire, the album entered the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 chart and further cemented Lee's reputation as a heartfelt, rootsy songwriter. The Don Was-produced Last Days at the Lodge followed in 2008 and found Lee backed by a highly regarded cadre of journeyman musicians including guitarist Doyle Bramhall, Jr., keyboardist Spooner Oldham, bassist Pino Palladino, and drummer James Gadson. The album cracked the Top 40 upon its release and became Lee's highest-charting album to date.
Buoyed by his success and a growing fan base, Lee was able to gather an all-star group of collaborators to appear on his next record, including Willie Nelson, Iron & Wine's Sam Beam, Calexico, and Lucinda Williams. The result, Mission Bell, was recorded in 2010 with Calexico's Joey Burns producing, and released early the following year. Anchored by the single "Windows Rolled Down," the album reached number one on both the Billboard 200 and Top Rock Albums charts. The EP As the Crow Flies, featuring previously unreleased songs recorded during the Mission Bell sessions, appeared in 2012.
Lee returned in 2013 with Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song, which was recorded in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce (the Wallflowers, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church) and included appearances from vocalists Alison Krauss and Patty Griffin. It also performed well, reaching number 16 on the Billboard 200. The concert album Live at Red Rocks followed in 2015 and showcased Lee performing with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at the famed outdoor amphitheater. In 2016, Lee returned with Spirit, his sixth full-length album and first for John Varvatos Records/Republic Records. Produced by Lee, the album found him combining his love of contemporary R&B and pop with his longstanding knack for earnest, folk-inflected melodicism. Included on Spirit was the single "Vaporize." ~ Matt Collar

Arsène Wenger has hailed the impact made by Yossi Benayoun during his loan spell at Arsenal and says the Israeli has been "patient and professional".
The 31-year-old recently featured in the 1-0 win against Manchester City, before scoring three days later in the Gunners' victory at Wolves.
Wenger has been impressed with Benayoun's contribution and says the midfielder is coming back into his best form.
"He has been very patient and very professional," said Wenger. "He came here with a lack of [playing time] and it took him a while to become really sharp. He kept working and waited for his place.
"We kept faith in him and put him in for big games because he is an intelligent and talented player. He has a good team attitude.
"The problem with Yossi was more physical because he is a guy who plays on his sharpness and quick movement. He had a big injury don't forget and it took him some time to come back.
"After that, when you do not play big games it takes you time to find the confidence again. Now he is there."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hiya, I've just finished my A levels and am looking to take the TEFL course sometimes this year. I have loads of questions that I keep asking and I never seem to get decent answers. Can anyone help me?
1.I'm aware that the two most distingushed of courses are the TESOL and Cert, but are there particular schools (Like Oxbridge Uni for degrees)which are more recognised than others?
2.Also, how hard is to to get on the ladder of TEFL? I have been browsing jobs, and most require at least two years experience of teaching, which I obviously don't have. Is there anyway of getting around this, any tips or jobs to start off with?
Cheers for your help!

The following has just been posted to debian-devel-announce:
A bug has been discovered in the 3.1r0 CD/DVD images: new installs from these images will have a commented-out entry in /etc/apt/sources.list for "http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates" rather than an active entry for "http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates", and thus will not get security updates by default. This was due to incorrect Release files on the images.
If you have already installed a system using a 3.1r0 CD/DVD image, you do not need to reinstall. Instead, simply edit /etc/apt/sources.list, look for any lines mentioning security.debian.org, change "testing" to "stable", and remove "# " from the start of the line.
If you installed other than from a CD or DVD (for example, netboot, or booting from floppy and installing the base system from the network), you are not affected by this bug.
New 3.1r0a images will be available shortly to correct this flaw. We apologise for the inconvenience.
The CD team is already working on making fixed ISOs/jigdos/torrents available; unfortunately, with 11 architectures and multiple media sizes, this process takes a while, so it will probably be a day or two before the fixed 3.1r0a images are available everywhere.
So yeah, don't go pressing those 10,000 copies of sarge just yet.

Our neighbor was a digging a pond and dropped a few loads of dirt by our place so we could fill in some holes and such.
Still have a little bit of that dirt pile left and i found a couple of these growing out of the dirt pile.
Is this PA Smartweed or is it waterknot weed?
If it is waterknot would it still be worth trying to keep and plant the seeds?

Often, you can't take candid shots of people, places and things because you either forget to bring your digital camera along or you don't have one with you when you need it. But there is one accessory that is always with you: your iPhone. Here is where some free nifty apps for the Apple device are working their magic on iPhone camera users. Here are a few of them that spell magic.
Crazy Photo Booth [1] : For those of you who want to have some fun with their pictures, this is quite a neat piece of technology. Divided into four parts – Photographic, funfair, crazy and curious, you will love at least one of them for sure. While the Photographic section allows you to convert your images into pop art, black and white, sketch, sepia and negative formats, the Funfair section is where you can have more fun. Like creating ripples and twirls in your images. Not to mention, mirror images and double images of you, among others. You can even break your image into a disjointed puzzle or make your image shaped like a star. Perfect for those who need to jazz up their images for a repeat audience.
BlendCamP Lite [2] : Here is where you can take a picture of a newspaper and superimpose it on a picture of yourself. The result: some good hearted fun where the newspaper lettering will be all over your body. While there is fun to it, you need to be creative in clicking just the right picture to superimpose on your subjects who could be people, places or things. The best part is that you can change the brightness and, if not satisfied, click a new picture. What's even better is that you can superimpose up to four pictures and create photographic mayhem with different settings in brightness, color effects, black & white, sepia, and so on. To get you started right away, there are seven template images, including vignitting, old photo, film movie, smoke, noise, rainbow, and snow effects.
Old Photo Pro [3] : If you prefer old, wrinkled photos to the modern glossy pictures, this app is just for you. Old Photo PRO transforms your color pictures into images that look decades old. You can let the application do all the work or choose to edit the photo manually, changing its saturation, paper type, film color and more. You also have the option of saving the results or sharing it with your friends. This app can also be used to make not-so-distinct images look smart with a retro makeover.
Color Splash Free [4] : This app is way too cool. It allows you to take a picture in color and then converts it into black and white. And then, you get the chance to literally brush the sections of the picture that you want in color. As you touch the screen, the outer black and white layer gives way to the color layer beneath it. It's that simple. To make it more precise, you can zoom in and out to work on details with far more accuracy. Try it once and you will want to do this all the time, because it's so simple even a two-year-old can work it. No wonder, it was selected by Apple for the App Store Hall of Fame. Best of all, it works in landscape and portrait mode.
Super Camera Free: All-in-one [5] : Okay, this app in a way negates the use of the other apps we mention in this piece, but then, it's up to you because each app has its uses. This app has 10 photo filters (sketch, emboss, rain drops, frosted glass, vignetting, HDR, sharpen, sepia) and photo frames (white & black border, lined glass, postcard, paper frame, film, etc.). Best of all, it can zoom up to four-times, allows three 'burst' shots, and includes a 5-20 second self-timer option. Not to mention, the anti-shake sensor, full screen shutter and viewfinder. Just tap on the area that needs to be exposed and presto, the camera refocuses itself. To help you with composition, there is the 3×3 grid. You can even control flash by up to +/- 3EV. And best of all? You can save the pictures in four resolutions: 480×320, 900×600, 1500×1000 and RAW.
Photo Shop Express [6] : This app is indeed fun on the run. With a fine interface, except no retina support for iPhone 4, this is still a great basic app to edit your photos. Choose from a variety of one-touch effects, or simply use your finger to drag across the screen and crop, rotate or adjust the colors. Add artistic filters like Soft Focus or Sketch. Since to err is human, you can always undo your changes and start image transformation all over again. Resize, crop and rotate. Not to mention, a variety of frames to suit your tastes. It's a free, well rounded app that is part of Photoshop.com that allows you share, edit and host photos online. You can store up to 2GB worth of videos and photos for free here.
3D Camera Lite [7] : Tired of the standard Facebook profile picks? This app will surely spice things up and you can't wait to show your friends on Facebook and Twitter. You can create real 3D images with photos from any digital camera. No glasses required. No wonder, it was rated 4.5 out of 5 by Macworld. First, take left and right photos with the built-in camera. Then, view your 3D photo as a grey or color anaglyph (using common red/cyan 3D glasses), a stereogram (no glasses required), or as a wigglegram for a simulated 3D effect. It's that simple and yet wonderfully 'wow'. However, if you want to turn images in your photo album into 3D and save larger image sizes, you need to buy the Pro version.
PhotoFunia [8] : This app lets you upload your picture for a certain special effect and within seconds, it downloads the picture on to your mobile. Which means, you need Wi-Fi or a stable internet connection to make this app work. Is it worth the extra money you spend on the internet? Yes, if you have an unlimited internet connection, you don't have to worry. With 100 different effects, this nifty app automatically identifies the face in the photo and lets you add cool photo effects and create funny face photo montages. New effects are added almost every week.
Panorama Free [9] : This app lets you take panoramic photos on your iPhone. Just click, add more, and tap 'finish'. Presto, your panorama is ready in portrait of landscape mode. The best part? You only need to align partially and the app will do the sophisticated stitching by itself. You can take an unlimited number of shots and as wide a panorama as you wish.
I Am Awesome [10] : With this app, awesomeness can be acquired for free. Type your name or your baby's and see the name hang from a gold chain around a woman's neck; on a beach; on someone's head; on a 'walk of fame' star; on a race car; on a blimp; on a basketball jersey, and so on. You can even change the text during the slideshow and even jump from one effect to another in a jiffy. You can save the image to your album or use it as a wallpaper or assign it to a contact or do all of them.

And Then There Were 9: Sherri Shepherd Axed From "DWTS"
After making it into the top ten of season 14's "Dancing with the Stars," Sherri Shepherd has now said her goodbyes to the dance floor.
On Tuesday night's episode (April 10), "The View" co-host and her pro partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were eliminated even though they managed to stay out of the bottom spot after last week's episode.
When the news was announced, the 44 year-old told "DWTS co-host" Brooke Burke Charvet, "I just what to say thank you for letting me live a dream I've always had. I have the most amazing partner in Val Chmerkovskiy and I had the most amazing time. I want to say to every person out there: The thing that scares you the most, run towards it, because it's so amazing on the other side."
Disney Channel star, Roshon Fegan, also scored one of the highest scores from the judges, but ended up sharing the bottom two with Shepherd.
Luckily, Fegan will be returning to the ballroom next week with the other seven remaining contestants in the running, which include Gavin DeGraw, Maria Menounos, Jaleel White, Gladys Knight, Donald Driver Melissa Gilbert and William Levy.

That is odd!But what ever you do, you may shange it again. Nothing is final.
Finsky,I like your comments. I live 90 km's north of the 49th parallel,90 Kilometer east of the Rocky Mountains. We had minus 27 C here two days ago. And then we get a warm wind coming accross the mountains and the temp. shoots up 30C degrees. It is called a Chinook wind.Have aa nice day you"all.Cor Van Pelt.
. I have not tried a long hive yet. Something I may build next summer.
If I had weight limitations, I would try a long hive like T Beek and Frameshift have used; but insulate the heck out of it. As T Beek says, the bees seem to store more honey above their heads on the deep frames than the mediums and hence should be more likely to survive on a single layer of those frames in a cold climate. I have not tried a long hive yet. Something I may build next summer.
Finski; Not all beeks keep bees for what they 'yield' in honey for the beek. For many beeks its perhaps the least important part of keeping bees. Oops, Did you just learn something? :-DBark, bark...bark, bark, bark :-D

yeah i read this over there... totally f'n blows....
This is cut and pasted from a poster on the 1919 board who was paid a visit:It would only take "hand tools" to assemble into a weapon, and also didn't have a serial number from the manufacturer. That's what ATF Agent Tommy Ho told me. The fact that I had stamped my own serial number and my name and city onto the plate did not matter to them. If I had bought a "registered" plate, (serial numbered by Halo) there would have been no problem, and they wouldn't have been visiting. Said that it was a semi auto plate, no problem there. Said that if it has been machined to the point that it can be assembled using only hand tools, as opposed to machining it, makes it a receiver. I asked him lots of questions, which he seemed to answer, but he didn't volunteer any information without my asking. I was polite, and so was he and his bodyguard. Fortunately, the plate was not assembled yet, so I'm only out the plate. I was using it to hold down 3 cases of 8mm so they don't roll around in the next earthquake. They do have Halo's records, and I'm in their home town, so that's why they visited me first.
Thats the facts, now the commentary.
My impression was that they want everyone buying through an FFL so they have a record of who has weapons. Home builders skirt this, and I'm sure that ATF feels unfulfilled by not kowing what everyone has. I can't recall the last time that anyone went berserk with a 1919a4 semi (or any registered machine gun either) so they wouldn't seem a high priority item to me. I told Agent Ho that just the week before, my son was at a gas station filling up, and in the garage bay was a car with the trunk open, selling handguns (no 10 day waiting period, the only background check being "How much cash you got, man".) He didn't seem interested at all. Didn't ask what town, what gas station, nothing at all. So now you know.
yeah i read this over there... totally f'n blows....
Hate takes LESS energy & thought... Dont be so Lazy.
Building or Bitching? which are you here to do?
YES, i work for TEC Tactical. 02/07 SOT
Is it me or do I see a pattern of behavior with the Bat bat man. They only get froggy on their actions if the are Demoncrats in control of something like the congress or the presidency. They seem to get real froggy when the the house or congress is controled by denoncrats. (Prepare for a blatant plug for Ron Paul)
With Rep Ron Paul as prez we could expect the alphabets all getting an ass spanking with Rep Paul saying "Who's your Daddy" all the while he's spanking their asses. There is alot of bad things in the wind now. I know that with the latest bout of Terror in Scottland they have tighten up at Skyharbor International Airport. (our airport in Phoenix AZ) Random police inspections of all vehicals going into the airport. Things are looking like Nazi Germany more and more all the time. Especially with Bushys PDD 51 giving him dictitorial powers in the event of a "National Emergency" either real or percieved. Now that is be afraid be very afraid stuff when a president makes himself a dictator useing unconstitutional power; there is no checks or balances to a president drafting and signing a document into law w/o the vote of the congress or senate. There is some ill winds blowing my friends.........
That makes sense since all the other 80% 1919 RSP sold over the last years did not have the holes spotted. May be why BATF acted this time and has not over the last several years on 80% RSP.Originally Posted by pirate56
Did I do that?

It was when FAC was selling the 1919 kits with 2 barrels. & Sarco was " Almost out" I think they are stil running the same add!
" Save a tree...........Eat A Beaver!"
I seldom talk to liberals.............................. But when I do, I order fries............
I agree with Lt762x39
Ron Paul for President
The center punch is a load of crap. completed with hand tools? I thought a tape, a micrometer and handrill were all hand tools..
Sounds like a bunch of crap to me. Before electricity, all tools were hand tools. What possible difference could it make?
The plate was legal, and it wasn't , all at the same time?
Illya, I've been out of the loop for a while and was going to try a 1919A4. After seeing this, I wonder if I should give up on the 80% and go with the 100% finished RSP?Originally Posted by Illya Kuryakin

First do no harm - a call for a culture of kindness
Our flags are at half-staff and our hearts are broken.
There are no words to explain the horror of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT. Nothing anyone can say can answer the many questions we all have about an event so awful, in a place of such innocence.
There were no explanations in Oak Creek, in Brookfield, in Aurora, in New York City...in Nazi Germany. There is no way to look at the slaughter of innocent children and teachers or anyone and not wonder about the kind of world in which we live.
I assure you that I have no answers and reading this blogpost will not help you understand anything. I personally use writing as a way to sort out my thoughts. I apologize that this will be woefully inadequate in shining a light on Friday's violence.
We all want to assign blame and legislate action. I believe that we cannot legislate away hate or anger or rage or evil. We can try and point fingers, but will that really create change that will prevent such tragedies? What is so frustrating about these horrible events is that we feel so incredibly helpless.
I think there's something we CAN do and it comes from one of the basic precepts taught to medical students - "First do no harm." We can look to ourselves to change the culture of America. We need to stop being a nation of those who point fingers and assign blame and start being a nation that looks for the best in our fellow man. We need to find opportunities to to be kind toward each other. We have to leave our cynicism and our negativity behind. We need to pay it forward, as long as "it" is something kind and helpful.
Here in Wisconsin, these past couple of years have been full of discord and unrest. We've spent so much time disagreeing with each other, arguing and taking sides, that we've forgotten how to be civil and how much we all have in common.
We are so quick to judge and then rush to anger. Let's try and embrace our families, friends, neighbors or maybe even those with whom we disagree - if not literally, then metaphorically. Let's create a culture where young people feel good about themselves and become inclusive so that nobody feels like an outcast, no matter their race, religion or beliefs.
First, do no harm. Imagine what we could do if this was our nation's call to action.
