|Topic Review (Newest First)
now the fun starts
so now that i've gotten the donor motor and trans for my truck, all that i have to do is get them running correctly. im gonna start getting the truck ready to pull the motor out. i just bought my first engine hoist and stand(though i had to let my wife go out spend some money as well, in order to get my toys) and i can't wait to use them! i'll try to get some pictures of the vehicles posted soon.
well, i have another, brand new column in the back of the BURB that came with it. as for the one that i took the hammer to, it was already messed up from someone trying to steal it and failing, so i just made it easier to get to the "starter rod" (not sure what its really called).
the interior is the dark blue, and it has a tailgate. i'll try to post some pics tonight of my projects. (how do i do that?)
the BURB is very clean for its year. i was surprised to find that the windows all work, the motors are sluggish, but they work! is anyone wanting some parts from it? let me know what you need, and i'll see if its worth using. what doesn't come off it, will go to the junk yard.
|Rob Keller
You can put a carb on a early TBI motor with one of these intakes.
Finesse with a Hammer & screwdriver?
Them columns go for up to $250!
Does the BURB have Tailgate or barn yard doors?
what color is the interior?
rough ride home!
well, it took some "finess" with a hammer and screwdriver to get the keyless ignition to turn over. to my surprise, the old beast came to life after almost a year and a half of sitting dormant, and on the second try! the 87 suburban is far from well running, but it did make it the 6-7 miles back to my house under its own power, and died right as i was turning into my driveway! so now starts the process of getting to the heart running good, before i rip it out and bring life to my baby once again. whats left of the burban (rear end, tires, gas tank, bench seat, and whatever else i can salvage) will go into my garage, along with the vette 350 and 400 trans, for a rat rod build later on.
so after long thought, i've decided to just turn the tbi 350 into one that is carburerated, as it will work out easier, and i can get old blue back on the road faster. now comes the task of finding out what intake i need and what sensors i can take off and make it still run right. anyone know of some books i could buy to help me out, or what needs to come off? and i do appreciate all of your advice so far, it has helped me out tremendously thus far.
i'll cover some of what has already been said & then add to it, for me its the easiest way. so this will be a little long, sorry.
carburetors and TBI each have their own advantages.
with a carb there are few wires to mess with & most people feel they are easier to repair when there is a problem.
with TBI, you have more wiring, some sensors & the ECM to contend with.
but with TBI working right, most people get better fuel mileage & overall better driveability.
to go back with a carburetor on the TBI motor would be easy. you would just need to get an intake to fit the heads or modify your old intake.
like has been said, to put TBI on your 84 you need the TBI unit, distributor, ECM, harness, knock module, & all the sensors.
you'll need a vehicle speed sensor (VSS) of some kind, but thats not too bad of a problem.
you'll need the fuel pump, i believe the sending unit from the 87 suburban will fit right into your current tank, but i could be wrong.
you'll need to run at least 1 extra fuel line for the fuel return.
if you don't run a new metal line for the pressure side, you will also need to change all the rubber hose on your factory supply line to rubber hose rated to handle higher
pressures and make sure you use good screw type hose clamps. some stock TBI fuel pumps can produce up around 25 PSI dead head. TBI needs around 13 PSI to run right.
if your good with wiring, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to get it wired up, just time consuming.
you will need a good book that covers the system you have.
for the check engine light, you can add a light or you can use one of the used lights in your instrument cluster.
you'll need to learn how to trouble shoot & repair it when you have a problem.
GM used the 700R4 till around 91 or so, & then it was called the 4L60.
both only have the torque converter clutch or TCC controlled by the ECM.
you can still use the 700R4 or the 4L60 without a computer, you can get a kit to control the TCC.
i believe it was 93 when GM started using the 4L60E, which must have a computer to control it.
it depends on which 350 transmission you have if you'll need to cut the drive shaft or not.
you may also need to make some minor mods to the trans cross member.
the 87 motor you have was called a Vortec, but don't confuse it with the later model 96~02 5.7 Vortecs.
in 87 on the TBI motors GM used swirl port heads. they aren't the best for all out performance, but they do help out with torque. with the right cam those heads work really well in a pickup.
|Rob Keller
Well its not work if you like doing this stuff.
But It down right sux if you need it ASAP.
Either way I would say installing the TBI would be harder.
Here is what I did.
I put a SB carbed400 in place of a TBI 454 .
The motor came out of a 1980 C~30 Camper
I used the Motor Wiring Harness except for 1 connection it bolts right in .
so you will have to check to make sure all the wires correspond the same.
Fortunately the Computer thing was sort of a after thought on GM's part
Most of all the TBI stuff goes in or out of that big hole on the Passenger side of the fire wall.
I removed the ECM & all the wires going to it..
Lets see...
You will need to drop the fuel tanks Remove the fuel pumps & extend the pick up tubes. & disconnect the power going to the fuel pumps.
I can not think of anything else right now but I am sure I missed something. I am going to flip thru the couple thousands pixs I took during the job
Ok, so if i decide to do the swap, im in for alot of work... now if i decided to make the tbi motor a carbureted motor (if possible) what would i have to do then?
|Rob Keller
To go from carbed to TBI is pain full. but it can be done
1st off the trans is not a 700R4 if its TBI most likely a 4L60E
I am not sure how to tell them apart but the 700R4 does not need a puter the 4L60E does.
Ok even though you are in small block land there are some differences.
You will need to know this stuff:
If the items are stock
The 84 will have the old style valve covers 4 bolts on the side
The 87 will have the 4 bolts on top this is the 1st generation of the vortex's.
The diff between the 84 & 87 also is the intake bolts the 84 is old style & go in on a angle thru the intake into the heads.
The TBI {Throttle Body Injection} intake bolts go in straight {90*} into the heads*.
*side note; some people will ream out the holes on a carbed intake to fit the Vortec.
To use the TBI you will need to install the ECM{Electronic Control Module} & the wiring harness that goes with it map sensors O2 sensors & all that jazz.
Now there are all kinds if aftermarket variations for both of these .
And most important I do not know them .
Well this it the Information that has freely flowed out of my old decrepit brain box @ the moment.
Hopefully some people with more knowledge will chime in & fill in the blanks I left open.
|Henry Highrise
|I think you are probably going to have to have the computer and wireing harness from the donor truck to get all that to work in your truck.
first engine swap, help!
i was having trouble with the starter on my 84 3/4 ton chevy's 350. after much frustration and asking around, turns out that i messed thy fly wheel up by not shimming it soon enough after i knew it was having problems. oh well, you live and learn...
i found out about an 87 1/2 ton suburban with a 350/700r4 combo, for only $200! i bought it yesterday and have to go see if i can get it running today, its been sitting for a year or so. i'll get it home one way or the other.
i want to know what its gonna take to get my 350/400 turbo out of my truck and put the 350/700r4 from the suburban back in. i would just swap the tranny's out, if i didn't have a 4 bolt main that i wanted for a hot rod, in my truck.
enough rambling, whats it gonna take to put the 350 with a throttle body into a carb truck? or maybe change the throttle body to a carb motor? then what will i have to do to make the overdrive on the trans work? any advice would help.

|I don't have vortec heads but have a Comp Cams retro fit hydrualic roller cam with 520, 540 on the lift. The lifters are speedpro vertical bar style. They require the use of a shorter pushrod then stock that measures 7.3 in. While the hydraulic roller lifters are heavy as hell my motor still loves to rev. I shift at 7000rpm. There is no maintence like running valve lash like there would be on a solid roller cam, but im sure a solid roller would make slightly more power. It did cost me alot to have this set up, $200 cam, $250 lifters, $180 custom length pushrods, but it is worth it just to tell people it is a hydraulic roller. If your car is primarily used for street duty get a hydraulic roller but if it is only for the strip get a solid roller.
roller cam
I have a 350 in my s-10 with Vortec heads and a comp cams magnum 270. It runs okay but i am wanting more. i have decided to get my heads machined on to accept bigger valve springs. I am looking at installing a roller cam and lifters. My question is has anyone have this setup with vortec heads and a roller cam. if so what set up do you run and how well does it run. I am wanting the best i can get since the roller parts aint cheap. thanks for all the help

Which would be a better environment to delve deeper into Buddhism and meditation: a lay sangha/sitting group, or going to a temple/monastery?
I've been more or less practicing on my own for the past few years, with short stints in lay Zen groups (when I was still practicing zazen). I think my practice would really benefit from a teacher, but the Theravadan viharas in my area are quite difficult for me to get to (I don't have a car), and I'm somewhat unsure about joining a lay sitting group. It could just be my attachment to this idea that "monks are wiser than lay teachers." I guess I'm just more interested in have a holistic practice that includes some of the observations that would be done at a vihara, not just secular-ish meditation (which seems to be the focus of any remotely non-Mahayana lay group around here).
Am I misguided in my opinions? Is it better than nothing to attend a lay (possibly secular, but still Buddhist) meditation group?
Thanks in advance.

University of Georgia law professor to present "Foreign Wars: The New Battleground in International Litigation"
DETROIT (Oct. 25, 2011) — Wayne State University Law School's Program for International Legal Studies is pleased to host a lecture by University of Georgia Law Professor Peter Rutledge titled "Foreign Wars: The New Battleground in International Litigation." The lecture, the last in the Fall 2011 Speaker Series, will take place from 12:15-1:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3, in the Law School's Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium. (Please note: The date and title of this lecture have changed.)
"Federal courts in the United States are increasingly faced with lawsuits by foreign nationals alleging that their human rights have been violated in conflicts overseas," said Gregory Fox, director of Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies. "On one hand, these cases present compelling stories of tragic suffering. On the other, one may well ask whether U.S. courts are the right place for these victims to seek compensation. Peter Rutledge is one of the country's leading authorities on transnational civil litigation and the perfect person to address this difficult set of questions."
Rutledge is a full professor whose teaching and research interests include international dispute resolution, arbitration, international business transactions and the Supreme Court. He is the author of the forthcoming book Arbitration and the Constitution and co-author with Gary Born of the book International Civil Litigation in the United States. His work has been published by Yale University Press, Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press, and his articles have appeared in a diverse array of journals such as the University of Chicago Law Review, the Vanderbilt Law Review and the Journal of International Arbitration. He also regularly advises parties on matters of international dispute resolution (litigation and arbitration).
The event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be provided.

Program for International Legal Studies
Wayne Law created the Program for International Legal Studies in recognition of the breadth of the faculty's international engagements and expertise and the fact that nearly all aspects of law now have an international component. From regulation of cross-border financial transactions to controlling pollution that recognizes no boundaries to human rights treaties that regulate how governments treat their citizens, law is now an interconnected global phenomenon. The program coordinates all activities at Wayne Law related to international law. These activities include hosting the Speaker Series, sponsoring conferences and symposia featuring leading international scholars and practitioners, promoting research on international and comparative law topics, and providing important resources for Wayne Law students, alumni and friends interested in international law.

The Fixing Charm (incantation unknown) is a spell which fastens an object in place. Its effect is similar to that of the Permanent Sticking Charm, but is most likely reversible. It may simply be another name for the Sticking Charm.
Elveira Elkins wrote to the advice page of the Daily Prophet because she was having difficulty getting this charm to work and was told by Zamira Gulch that her mind was probably wandering whilst 'charming' and to just use nails.
Known practitioners
Behind the scenes
The Epoximise spell may be a variation of the Fixing Charm, or even the incantation for the actual charm. This appears to not be the case since Epoximise, which is from the Harry Potter Trading Card Game, is labelled as a Transfiguration spell on its card, not a Charm. However, errors have been found with other cards. For example, Diffindo is incorrectly labelled as a Transfiguration spell in the card game.


text: New article on Patrick Chan. Reads:- In the opinion of many, Denis Ten is the real world champion, and I have a problem in working out how somebody can claim that they can handle pressure when persistently falling and making mistakes on multiple occasions in their programs. Is Chan in denial over just how controversial his 'win' at 2013 Worlds was? I mean, he calls it a successful defence, when in actual fact it was a highly dubious one. And the outcome of the 2012 World Championships was almost as controversial as well. That's not what I would class as 2 successful defences.

"We came back to it for a very simple reason: we started enjoying writing songs again." Sam Swallow's description of how The Hoosiers re-formed, and in doing so reconnected with what had made them start a band in the first place, is matter-of-fact, but the expression on the keyboardist's face as he says this is passionate. Sitting beside him and nodding in agreement, Irwin Sparkes, Martin Skarendahl and Alan Sharland convey a similar sense of having emerged, blinking, into the light, having endured some pretty dark times.

"First time customer, not sure what to expect. Birth/moving announcement was what I needed so went with Tiny Prints even though the cost was a little more than other vendors. TOTALLY worth it. Paper was thick and resolution was crisp. Even the envelopes that came with the cards were decent. I will buy my holiday cards from this company and future invites."
"Wow I was so impressed with my order, it actually exceeded my expectations! I couldn't be more happy with the announcements I ordered!! The paper quality is exellent and so is the design in general. I will definitely be using Tiny Prints for now on, they are reliable, professional and affordable!"
"Love how these postcards turned out. Sending postcards with our new address and a quick message to our friends and family was nice. The best part: no envelopes!"
"The bluish background color had a more retro feel when I received it, but it looked great. Have had nice feedback from friends who received it."
"This was my first time using Tiny Prints, (I have used other companies for holiday cards and wedding invitations) but Tiny Prints had the cutest design in the WE HAVE MOVED category by FAR! Picture software was easy to use, decent, fewer options then some other companies but robust enough to have some fun with the design. Prints arrived on time, paper quality good. The photo was good, a little muddy perhaps but that may have been my photo (I decided to go black and white so maybe that's why it looks a little muddy). I am very happy with this purchase and will check out Tiny Prints for my annual holiday card too!"

By Rob Kelly
Andre Santos says his close friendship with Mikel Arteta has helped him to settle in England.
The Brazilian defender moved to Arsenal in August after spells in his homeland and Turkey, and he has made an immediate impression.
Santos says the whole Gunners squad has played its part in helping him adapt to life at the Club - especially Arteta.
"I get on well with every single one of the players, I treat and respect everyone equally and vice versa," Santos told Arsenal Player.
"Mikel Arteta is Spanish and our languages are quite similar so he is helping me the most.
"He is always giving me instructions about the Premier League. He played for Everton for a long time and arrived at Arsenal at the same time as I did so he helped me settle.
"We're always messing around in the changing room, on the pitch during the warm up; he's always saying something to make me laugh or calling me nicknames but it's always good spirited with no harm. We work together every day and need these moments of distraction.
"This link with the club is very important, us players always go out for dinner and social events together.
"I'm always doing something with Thomas Vermaelen, Bacary Sagna, Robin van Persie, Mikel, Yossi Benayoun, Ignasi Miquel and others. This link between us off the pitch is very strong and it benefits the team on the pitch."
Watch the full interview with Andre on Arsenal Player soon.

I'll turn 61 just before duck season opens this yr so i aint gettin any younger but still able to outwork most 20 yr olds. I like comfort when out in the field. Tell me what ya think of this. Modeled after some of my previous blinds that gave us the ability to cook, shoot, and sleep in comfort i think i'll try the pontoon program. A 24 footer should do the trick. 4'X8' shooting compartments on both ends with flip down doors. That will leave about 16-18 ' of space in the middle to have the cots and stoves and heaters and a place to shoot the bull on a slow day. A man cave if ya will. The Kara Hummers parked outside ready to use at anytime. The pontoon blind can be moved around the lease lake by a trolling motor and anchor where ya want it. One can also mount a larger motor on the back for the big lakes. I already have the aluminum clad styrofoam panels for the wall system. I guess i just need to get started. Give me some ideas guys....and gals.

So I've been thinking of getting an apple tv for xbmc, but I'm a little unclear on the performance/ios versions. The wiki says that 4.3 is the best for performance. Is this still the case? Is it even possible to buy an apple tv with that early version on it still? I wouldn't be able to downgrade since it would be a new box and I wouldn't have any blobs. How is the performance on the newer (5.) firmware? Still worth getting an apple tv?
Sorry for so many questions. I'm using my wifes laptop now for xbmc and I think I need to find a different solution. Thanks!
Apple tv version?

You would be pushed to find one with 4.3 on there but I am currently using 4.4.4 and have to say it runs fine. Not used 5.0 myself but there is a thread over here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=130598 with reports on it.
From experience on 4.4.4 as long as you don't top 25mbps on a video stream then you are fine.

Secondary schools
Homophobic, biphobic and transphobic (HBT) language and bullying are widespread in UK secondary schools, affecting young people's well-being as well as their attendance and attainment.
Here you can find out more about the prevalence and impact of homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in secondary schools, as well as ways that you can prevent and tackle it in your secondary school.
Why does it matter?
The School Report (2012), a survey by Cambridge University of more than 1,600 lesbian, gay and bi young people, found that:
- More than half (55 per cent) of lesbian, gay and bi young people experience homophobic bullying in Britain's schools
- Ninety nine per cent hear the phrases 'that's so gay' or 'you're so gay' in school.
- More than half (53 per cent) of lesbian, gay and bi young people are never taught anything about lesbian, gay and bi issues at school.
The Teachers' Report (2014), polling by YouGov for Stonewall, found that:
- Nine in ten secondary school teachers say students in their schools are bullied, harassed or called names for being – or perceived to be – lesbian, gay or bi.
Metro Youth Chances (2014), a survey of more than 7,000 young people, including 956 trans young people, found that:
- Three quarters of trans young people say they have experienced name-calling and 28 per cent have experienced physical attacks.
- 32 per cent of trans young people say they have missed lessons due to discrimination or fear of discrimination.
- 27 per cent of trans young people have attempted suicide.
The impact
Bullying has a severe impact on the well-being, attainment and aspirations of LGBT students. Seven out of ten students who have experienced homophobic bullying say it has had an impact on their schoolwork; half say they have skipped school to avoid bullies. In some cases, the exclusion of LGBT people from the curriculum, and the reinforcement of negative messages around sexual orientation and gender identity, can severely affect self esteem.
'I can't tell anyone because, basically, no-one knows that I am gay...I got punched in the corridor today for example, and I can't tell the teacher because it will involve coming out.' Nick, 14
Our research shows that secondary schools that take an active, positive approach to tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic language and bullying get the best results. The Stonewall School Champions programme can offer your school support, and is aimed at creating a safe and welcoming learning environment for all students.
80 % secondary school teachers have not received any specific training on how to tackle homophobic bullying
55 % of lesbian, gay and bisexual young people have experienced bullying in school

John Harrigan: A watershed moment for ATV fraternity
JOHN HARRIGAN | June 08. 2013 1:26AM
My Dad hated any form of motorized recreation, and like many others in the early days, he had a particular dislike for snowmobiles. But almost overnight, the pioneers of snowmobiling realized that they had to rein in rogue riders and build good relations with landowners to have any hope for the future. And so these early leaders set about organizing, and new clubs quickly appeared all over the state. The result is the huge snowmobile sport, tourism and industry we see today.
Several towns have opened their rural roads and downtown streets to ATVs on carefully-thought-out and well-marked routes. In the back country, meanwhile, landowners have done the same, allowing ATV clubs to link farm roads, logging roads, snowmobile trails and skidder trails to form a gigantic circle in the Colebrook-Errol-Pittsburg region, with hundreds of spur trails linking dozens of other towns and destinations.
Last weekend was sort of the unofficial opening of the system, and riders came by the hundreds, from near and far. I sat on the front porch reading the papers, my ATV decked out with flags and parked in the front driveway, and returned wave after wave as ATV riders of all age and stripe drove by.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
In this section, you'll get a good idea why handwashing is such a big deal. You'll find out why it's so darn important and when you should wash. You carry millions of microbes on your hands. Most are harmless, but you can pick up some that cause illnesses, such as colds, flu, and diarrhea.
When we forget to wash our hands, or don't wash them properly, we can spread these germs to other people, or give them to ourselves by touching our eyes, mouths, noses or cuts on our bodies.
We can also pick up germs from objects, such as doorknobs and stair railings, touched by other people who aren't good handwashers. Think about all the things you touch each day and how many people may have touched them before you.
You can learn more about what happens when people don't wash well or often enough by watching this video on handwashing made by students at River Ridge High School in New Port Richey, Fla. (You can choose the 2.2M high bandwidth version or, if you're using a modem, the 513K low bandwidth version might be a lot faster for you. You'll need the Quicktime player to view these video files. You can download it for free here.)
Handwashing with warm water and soap can greatly reduce the chances of spreading or getting germs. The mechanical action of scrubbing loosens up the dirt and microbes on our hands and the soap picks them up and binds to them so that the water can wash them away.
Go to Experiments to try a fun activity with your friends or family that will show you why handwashing is important.
So when should you wash your hands? Stop and think of the times you wash up each day and then click here to see how well you're doing.

Customer Reviews (1)
- Nice, but....Review by Paul Overn
Service Quality Value
Case is great, power supply works great.
There are two things to be aware of.
- Need something to be able to lift the deck lid. A small handle or a hold large enough for a finger would be helpful.
- Power supply: sold as a 2000w, however, you need more then 120V AC to get this. So unless you are going to run a 220 line to your charging station or get a 220V generator, you can only get 1500 watts out of it.
If I purchase this combo again, and I most likely will, I will ask to change out the power supply for a 1500 watt version.

Escape Routes
Draw a floor plan of your home. Use a blank sheet of paper for each floor. Mark two escape routes from each room. Make sure children understand the drawings. Post a copy of the drawings at eye level in each child's room.
If your home is taller than ground level, plan to use an escape ladder from upper floors. Make sure everyone in your household is familiar with these products and is comfortable using them.
Where to meet
Establish a place to meet in the event of an emergency. Record the locations.
- If you're near the home, meet at the next door neighbor's telephone pole
- If you're outside the immediate area, meet at the neighborhood grocery store parking lot

Hi there. It's a weekend, and woot customer service people work regular business hours--which means they get the weekend off. Your email will be received and read on Monday, and hopefully they'll be able to cancel your order quickly. Please be patient, thanks.
schouest wrote:Why are you keeping both? Is NetTalk insufficient?
I have NetTalk and it's lousy.About a 1 second delay in speaking and hearing the other person.You're always overlapping each others conversation.That's why I bought this.
wmack7 wrote:ahhhhh man!!!!!!! I want one and I can't get it today! Will Woot have the Ooma for sale again? If so, do anyone knows how often Woot repeat the same item?
My northern California Costco still has them.
As I often see, Costco got Ooma to throw in several extras to their package
Making the $179 price excellent for a non-refurb.
Are they ever going to ship this thing?
Ask and ye shall receive, sweet!
**Shipping Update**
Ooma Telo VoIP Home Phone System has completely shipped via FEDEX Ground. All tracking has already been emailed out. You can also find your tracking number by following this link and use your ORDER NUMBER as the reference number.
My Telo arived today, but the packaging is different than what was listed.
Listing: http://www.woot.com/Blog/ViewEntry.aspx?Id=18632
I received a plain black box labeled "ooma" w/ the logo in white. I'm just curious if anyone knows why or if the listing was just wrong.
Mine just got here but says activation # is invalid. bleh. Off to call OOMA. =(
After about an hour on the phone with them, they decided the activation number was wrong and gave me a new one. Now it's working. Just fyi in case anyone else gets the same issue. Maybe something to do with the refurbishing?
Working great. The dialtone is a bit odd.
Got it working hooked into my wireless access point and even connected it to my existing phone wiring so I can use it on any phone jack.
I'm planning on forwarding my land line to my new Ooma number so I can test drive the service with my existing number before porting the number over and then finally ridding myself of a now nearly $50 phone bill for mostly basic service (one phone line, call waiting and caller id). AT&T is about to be told where they can put that bill.
I got mine set up easily, but it is not letting me receive calls, only letting me place them. The manual said it can take about 15 minutes to be able to receive calls, well it's been about 7 hours and it's still not working right....

Same issue. Tech support even asked if I had purchased from Woot. Since the whole thing was done over the phone I ended up with a random phone number, so if you call have some ideas what numbers after the area code you like. Also the unit I got was Rev A. I do not know if that is the most recent. One reason not to buy refurb equipemt is it is often not the most recent.
Got mine in! Couldn't be happier! Looked up their handset which from what I read is a total steaming pile of failure, and their usb adapter so your cell can ring through the ooma... well after a little research I picked up one of these [Panasonic KX-TG7623B DECT 6.0 Link-to-Cell via Bluetooth Cordless Phone, Black, 3 Handsets] at Best Buy for about 90 bucks. These two items combined are a powerhouse! I've linked my iPhone and work cell to the Panasonic, so I can punch in a number, and hit call to use the ooma, or select either of the two cells to call out from. Paired them both. So from any of the handsets, I can call using my business cell, my iPhone, or my ooma number. Also, all calls that come in ring the Panasonic handsets as well, all with distinctive rings (ooma, iPhone, work cell). It pulled in all the contacts from my iPhone in a breeze. It also supports a wireless headset, which I'm about to test out and let you know how it goes. I was really shocked how simply and effortlessly getting this all set up was. I disabled voicemail on the ooma, and the iPhone, and use google voice's voicemail, which is more robust anyhow. Screw trying to get it all through ooma, use the panasonic and get more for less! Was gunna pick it up on amazon, but the cost was a difference of about 10 bucks, and I couldn't wait. I've told everyeone to start using my Google Voice number, which rings my ooma, and my iPhone. I dropped my minutes to the lowest, and texts from unlimited to 1k. Should cut off about 50 bucks a month from my AT&T bill. Get it. You won't be disappointed!
EDIT: I was thinking I'll update my voicemail for my iPhone to say, "if you've received this, please call my google voice number at xxx-xxx-xxxx. I'll hear through the distinctive ring their calling my iPhone directly, and not answer till they get my iPhone voicemail. If they call back with the google voice number, which will ring the iPhone as well, I'll pick up if I can; otherwise, the google voice voicemail will pick up. Makes getting people to change easy. In rough theory so far, but I just shot a bunch of texts saying new number, and it's basically done. I haven't tried all the permutations, but I did use one handset to call out from my work cell, to dial my iPhone, which rang the panasonic handset, which I picked up from another handset, and all worked well... they've really ironed the thing out... Pretty impressed.
Oh yeah, no activation fee, and I did set it up in front of the router... just for ease, at first.
I changed my mind the day it arrived (Aug 19) - don't want it - haven't opened my package. How can I forward it to you at cost?
tracydr wrote:Question?
Why are some of you people (not you necessarily!) on the OOMA thread trying to "sell" obi? If you have something to say about OOMA...then say it, otherwise stop trying to "sell" another product!!
I actually really appreciate the information about other comparable products so I can make a more informed decision on whether to purchase the one currently for sale. I am sure I'm not the only one.
I currently have GoogleVoice and Vonage (200-minute plan - price increased 3 times since I started) and was looking for more information on what I could replace it with.
I've heard good things about OOMA, but am concerned about the refurbished aspect and also that maybe there is a better product (one of OOMA's others or this Obi) I should get instead, so I like the discussion and think that should be welcome in this forum. My two cents, at least.
Why don't you contact WOOT? After all they did ban you. Why would you ask people that had nothing to do with you being banned?
crazytomato76 wrote:anyone know why when I try to order it says I've been banned?
Today with the rapid advancement of the technologies, many telecommunication services and features are automated. Business phone system is like the auto-attendant service that replaces the position of personal receptionist. Most of the business phone system services now are handled by computer where telephone forwarding service routes calls to different extensions in an instant..

Re: Army in my Pocket Version 2
This is awesome.. sorry I'm new.. can we actually buy this shirt yet?
I love the little men, but the pocket just looks really, really bad in my opinion and brings down the overall quality of the shirt. The lines need to be straighter for the creases, and if a guy is pulling down the pocket it needs to show. As a previous poster said there should be shadows at least behind the guys jumping out of the pocket to give the shirt some depth and make it look like there are *actually* guys standing on your shirt.
I like the design, but I wish people would stop voting for the "cute" entries and start voting for stuff that looks more polished. One of the reasons I find myself voting for Cho's work is generally because he takes the time to make sure every little detail is exactly how he wants it. Now I'm not saying that everyone's work has to look the same, but I think that this shirt could have benefited from a little more TLC.
Anyways, grats either way to the artist it looks like this one is guaranteed top 3.
bluchez wrote:OK, lets assume that jamescho84 did not enter any designs in this derby. You both would then be beaten by army guy (which might be clever but surely doesn't stand up to your level of "good" art since you believe that all of jamescho84's designs this derby are poor). After that, you would be being beat by sokowa, who has placed in 2 derbies with printings. After that, you would be being beat by tgentry, who is the second most printed designer at woot (according to other posts, not my research). After that, you would be being beaten by artulo (with a nice paper airplane design that is a resub). Sachmoe64's design, dsladek's design, AND tgentry's Lincoln design would all not be winning or even in the fog.
Would this make you happier? Would you be complaining less? You would be being beat by at least two people who are probably obtaining some votes based on name, sokowa and tgentry. You would be being beat by a roughly drawn design. You would be being beat by a resub of an entry from an earlier derby. This would make you happy and all things right with the world, correct?
The fact of the matter is, what wins week after week is what strikes a chord with the voters. That is IT. Do you really think that if the jamescho84 conspiracy is so strong that it would be sharing the fog with a design such as the army men? It seems to be the case that it is secured in the one of the top spots. I can assure you that only a small portion of the 700 votes it takes to get in the fog are from anybody who is voting on name alone. A version of the wave design that you feel is worthy placed fourth in the water derby. Go back and look at what beat it. The terribly powerful voting block that is responsible for sachmoe64's and dsladek's designs not winning this derby was unable to get even one of jamescho84's shirts printed, and lost out to other designs that some voters felt were less worthy (were they correct?).
Please, for all of our sakes, keep entering the derby, but try to look at the designs that win and ask yourself why they win based on the design. You will find that they win because the voters (that particular week) liked them. You don't have to bastardize your morals or your design or your artistic integrity to win, but you do have to learn how to catch the voter's eye. As indicated before, the artist you are complaining about has close to 100 total entries to his name, and has been working on tuning what he designs, the style he uses, and the concepts he picks to what he thinks the voters are looking for. This is what you should be doing, not attacking other people that you perceive are the problem with the relatively short time you've been studying the issue.
If neither of you can recognize how lucky you are to have such high placing designs in a contest such as this, with as few entries as you have made, than you need to reevaluate why you are participating. There are great designs here with <100 votes. Is jamescho84 responsible for that? No, those great designs didn't strike a chord with the voters this week. Both of your entries have, so be happy.
You're my boy Blu!!!!

How is this ripping off penny arcade? they draw a cartoon jesus and suddenly they own jesus? Either way, you're saying that i unintentionally ripped them off, which isn't even possible. That would have to be an intentional act. Which it wasn't. I've never seen them have jesus on a jetpack, Only sometimes have jesus throw the satan horns, which they also didn't invent.
I have lots of jesus related stuff, for me religion is a joke and jesus is comedy.

text: In terms of achievements in this past decade alone: 1. Plushenko 2. Yagudin (career wise it is a tough call between Plushy and Yagudin) 3. Takahashi- due to all his top 2 medals at the Worlds, Grand Prix final, and all his international wins 4. Lambiel 5. Joubert 6. Lysacek- even with his Olympic and World gold I consider his career the weakest of all these men. He has no other top 2 medals at Worlds or even the Grand Prix final, only 2 grand prix wins. Lambiel has 2 World titles, Olympic silver, 2 Grand Prix final titles, and Joubert has all those European medals and international wins, that makes their whole careers a bit better IMO. Best skaters: 1. Yagudin- his 2002 season performances were better than anything I saw Plushenko do ever. 2. Plushenko 3. Takahashi- great but too inconsistent. 4. Lambiel- ditto above but less athletic as well. 5. Joubert 6. Lysacek So actually order of most accomplished and best skaters are exactly the same.

The Ripken brothers know where their love of the game started. It was in the countless hours spent on baseball fields in their youth, with the camaraderie between teammates, salty sunflower seeds sailing through the air, and the big games under the lights.
To pay tribute, they've constructed three tournament complexes that honor our national pastime while pushing it to new levels. The first was built in their hometown of Aberdeen, MD. The second, in one of the country's most desirable vacation destinations, Myrtle Beach, SC. The third is nestled into the picturesque Smoky Mountain landscape of Pigeon Forge, TN.
Part of every Ripken Experience is the professional, major league quality fields. From the covered dugouts and lighted fields to the incredible practice areas and on-site fountains, statues and photo opportunities. Ripken tournaments are youth baseball at their finest, on the field and off.
At our The Ripken Experience Aberdeen Powered by Under Armour, you can become a big leaguer at age 9. Hit a homerun over the Green Monster at Fenway, slide into second on the legendary Wrigley Field, or swing for the Warehouse at Cal Sr's Yard in a stadium atmosphere that mirrors Oriole Park at Camden Yards. Even get your heart racing as you hear over the PA system, "At bat, number 8..."
In Myrtle Beach, enjoy elite competition on incredible fields with easy access to beaches, shopping, dining and more.
In Pigeon Forge, compete in the shadow of the Smoky Mountains at one of America's fastest growing family vacation destinations.
And it's not just kids who can get in on the fun. Coaches can make calls from big league dugouts and glance over at the professional scoreboards.

The Ultimate Fate of Supplemental Results
December 19th, 2007 | Published in Google Webmaster Central
This led to a major effort to rethink the entire supplemental index. We improved the crawl frequency and decoupled it from which index a document was stored in, and once these "supplementalization effects" were gone, the "supplemental result" tag itself—which only served to suggest that otherwise good documents were somehow suspect—was eliminated a few months ago. Now we're coming to the next major milestone in the elimination of the artificial difference between indices: rather than searching some part of our index in more depth for obscure queries, we're now searching the whole index for every query.
From a user perspective, this means that you'll be seeing more relevant documents and a much deeper slice of the web, especially for non-English queries. For webmasters, this means that good-quality pages that were less visible in our index are more likely to come up for queries.
Hidden behind this are some truly amazing technical feats; serving this much larger of an index doesn't happen easily, and it took several fundamental innovations to make it possible. At this point it's safe to say that the Google search engine works like nothing else in the world. If you want to know how it actually works, you'll have to come join Google Engineering; as usual, it's all triple-hush-hush secrets.*
* Originally, I was going to give the stock Google answer, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you." However, I've been informed by management that killing people violates our "Don't be evil" policy, so I'm forced to replace that with sounding mysterious and suggesting that good engineers come and join us. Which I'm dead serious about; if you've got the technical chops and want to work on some of the most complex and advanced large-scale software infrastructure in the world, we want you here.

Nothing is wrong with my commands (in so far as I can tell) the MAC is successfully spoofed each time. Yet, whenever it is spoofed my connection becomes unstable.

O'Neil '13 hopes to make an impact with the Peace Corps
Release Date: 6/26/2013
Morgan O'Neil, a 2013 University of the Ozarks graduate, will join the Peace Corps next spring and spend 27 months doing service work abroad.
O'Neil, who earned majors in political science, environmental studies, and English, had some difficult decisions to make her senior year. Initially, she planned to immediately enroll in law school after graduating.
"The warning signs were coming while I was filling out my applications for law school," she said. "I kept putting them off, and I'm not the type of person to do that. I began thinking that maybe this isn't what I'm supposed to be doing right now."
Recent graduate Morgan O'Neil will join the Peace Corps in the Spring for a 27-month assignment in the environmental sector.
"I wasn't sure that I was ready to just jump right back into school. I had been accepted at Willamette Law School in Oregon, which is where I wanted to go, but I had also been reading and learning more about the Peace Corps and about others' experiences with it. I was really stressed out for a while trying to decide, but one night I just decided I was joining the Peace Corps. I woke up the next morning and felt peaceful about it."
O'Neil hasn't been assigned to a particular country yet. However, she does know that she'll be working in the environmental sector.
"My priority is a Central or South American country, because I meet the language requirements," O'Neil said. "I'm hoping to find out in the next month or so. The earliest I would be sent out would be March or April of 2014. I'll be working in the environmental sector. My job will include things like planting trees or rebuilding an ecosystem that's been destroyed. It could also include educating people about sustainability or environmental awareness. Really, it could be anything related to the environment."
While the Peace Corps may not have been O'Neil's original plan, she is excited about the opportunity to travel and offer her skills to improve a community.
"I've been given so many opportunities here at Ozarks, and I feel like I'm in a position where I can share those skills such as leadership, communications and work ethic, and make a really large impact. And I can do it right now," O'Neil explained.
"When people asked me when I was younger what I wanted to do with my life, I always said I wanted to save the world. As I got older, I started thinking that it's really not possible to save the world, but it is possible to make an impact on one person, on two people, or a significant impact on a community. I've been so focused on making myself successful these last four years that I feel like it's time to take that focus and apply it to a larger community," she said.
O'Neil is still considering law school as an option when she returns to the U.S.
"I'm working on deferring my admission to Willamette now," she said. "Attending law school is definitely still in the cards, but I'm not sure how things will change after 27 months in the Peace Corps. No matter what I end up doing, my service in the Corps will really ground me and allow me to be successful."
According to O'Neil, the decision to join the Peace Corps was not an easy one, but she credits Ozarks with preparing her for tough life decisions.
"For me being in college was different. I was already extremely independent and responsible before I came to college. For me, being here was about finding myself versus fulfilling other people's expectations for me," O'Neil said. "Just being a part of campus, has really taught me to speak up and use my voice. Before I was so timid, because I was worried about what people would think about my opinion. But now, I've gained a lot of confidence in who I am and what I believe in and I'm able to talk about it. That's a part of the reason I'm joining the Peace Corps."
O'Neil plans spend the next few months with her family preparing for her time abroad. She hopes to be able to share her experiences with other Ozarks students when she returns.

Smolinski awarded prestigious Equal Justice Works Fellowship, will develop medical-legal partnership with Karmanos Cancer Center
DETROIT (May 11, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that third-year student Kathryn Smolinski has been awarded a prestigious two-year fellowship from Equal Justice Works. As a fellow, Smolinski will work with Wayne Law's Disability Law Clinic to develop a medical-legal partnership with the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center focused on the legal needs of low-income cancer patients in Detroit. The fellowship is sponsored by Pfizer Inc. and the law firms of Kaye Scholer LLP and Jackson Lewis LLP.
Smolinski's duties will include assisting low-income cancer patients with issues related to health insurance, disability benefits, disability discrimination, family-medical leave, end-of-life decision-making, and estate planning. She also will work to establish a partnership between the Disability Law Clinic and the Karmanos Cancer Center that will train future lawyers and healthcare professionals to work with each other and to meet the unique needs of cancer patients.
"The medical-legal partnership will provide cross-disciplinary training to prepare future lawyers, doctors, nurses, and social workers to serve clients in the oncology setting," Smolinski stated. "It will lay the groundwork for emerging healthcare clinicians and attorneys to respect and collaborate with each other during their future careers."
According to Smolinski, the cancer-focused medical-legal partnership – the first of its kind in Michigan and among the first in the nation – will collaborate with other free legal aid services and pro bono attorneys to help respond to the overwhelming legal needs of cancer patients. Non-legal cancer-related community resources such as the American Cancer Society, Cancer Support Community and local area hospice organizations will all be utilized as well.
"This new partnership will provide an opportunity to directly serve low-income individuals who face a cancer diagnosis. It will also build a network of pro-bono attorneys and organizations who are willing to assist with the unique legal needs of cancer patients," said Smolinski.
Smolinski has dedicated her career to working with individuals affected by cancer. Prior to enrolling at Wayne Law in 2008, she served as Executive Director of the Association of Oncology Social Work and as a senior oncology social worker at The Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland.
She earned a bachelor of arts in psychology and English and a master of social work from the University of Michigan, a certificate in health care ethics from Georgetown University, a certificate in basic mediation from the University of Maryland and a civil court mediation-training certificate from Wayne Law. She will graduate with a juris doctor in May 2011.
"Working with cancer patients and their families is truly my passion," she said. "I know through professional experience that health care is a fragmented system. I am convinced that legal assistance can be instrumental in easing the cancer disease burden and improving quality of life if provided in a timely, sensitive and competent way."
According to David Moss, Wayne Law's director of Clinical Education and director of the Disability Law Clinic, Smolinski is up to the challenge. "Kathy is the perfect person to lay the groundwork for such a partnership, given her legal training and her extensive social work experience. I am enthusiastically committed to working with her on the development of an oncology-focused medical-legal partnership. I congratulate her on this remarkable achievement."
Smolinski, who will begin in her Equal Justice Works Fellowship in fall 2011, looks forward to her new opportunity.
"It has been an incredible experience to learn the law and represent clients in the Disability Law Clinic directly in the heart of Detroit," she said. "I am confident that a medical-legal partnership can provide an opportunity for justice, care, compassion and increased quality of life for those who reside in this great city."
"One person can make a difference, but that one person makes the most difference when working collaboratively with others. I am honored to be an Equal Justice Works Fellow and will continue to make a difference by representing individuals affected by cancer and other disabilities."

If your going to buy on line try this outfit.
Sup y'all newbie to the forum and was just wondering where do most of you buy your handguns? Any good deals out there? I live in SoCal and interested
in picking up:
1) Walther P22 Anything less than $320?
2) Glock 19 Anything around $500?
3) XD-45 Anything around $500?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!
BTW How do I change my profile pic?
I was actually looking for shops in SoCal that had some good deals.
Does everyone here shop online only???
You're probably not going to find good deals at a local gun shop unless the gun is used and even those are hard to find. Buds has good deals, the shipping is usually free for guns and they're out of state so there's no CA sales tax to pay. The only drawback is that you will have to wait around 15 days to get your gun because of the shipping time and the dealer wont start the background check until the gun is in their possession. I am looking to buy a revolver and I'll probably get it from Buds because it's $100 more locally and I don't mind the wait.
The only thing I don't like about buds is that their merchandise goes QUICK! I mean lightining fast. I was looking for a buckmark there and 24 hours after he got some up on the site, they were already sold So so so sad.
Best Gunshop and best people I have ever dealt with. Ade's Gunshop in the City of Orange.They have a rather large selection of consingment guns and their fees,PPT and such are small. Best bet for sure!

MBA News
MBA degrees continue to pay dividends in spite of the recession
MBA degrees continue to pay dividends in spite of the recession, with graduates recouping one third of the financial investment in their degree within a year of graduation, and 100 per cent within four years.
The latest survey from the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), which administers the GMAT test, the entry test for business school, shows that 86 per cent of the MBA class of 2011 were employed after graduation, just 2 per cent lower than the previous year. And three out of four alumni of the class of 2011 believe they could not have obtained that job without their degree.
It would also seem that a graduate management degree is particularly beneficial to women. The GMAC survey found that the wage gap between men and women is noticeably smaller among MBA alumni than it is among the general population in the US. For example, female graduates of full-time MBA programmes who responded to the survey received starting salaries equivalent to 85 per cent of their male counterparts. By contrast, women earn just 77 per cent of what men earn in the US workforce more generally.
Dave Wilson, president of GMAC, says that all prospective graduate management students should evaluate the return on investment. "These results demonstrate that a graduate management degree is, in fact, a solid investment in your future, both in good and bad economic times."
The GMAC Alumni Perspectives Survey includes responses from 4,135 alumni who graduated between 2000 and 2011, including 963 graduates from the class of 2011.

text: In a new documentary that airs later this month, Cesar Millan says that he attempted suicide back in 2010 by trying to overdose on pills. He says that when one of his dogs died and his wife left him that he was at his lowest point and that he tried to kill himself. Umm, didn't his ex-wife leave him because he was cheating on her and he had to pay her off so she wouldn't tell the world all about his cheating? He makes it sound like in this documentary that he was some kind of innocent. To me, that sucks. I think he also paid her off about sex tapes and other things he made. Attempting suicide is horrible and I encourage anyone to get help, but, I do wonder if he is blaming factors he wants to make public, rather than the actual factors involved.

Extensively Drug Resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) was first encountered in 2006. Now as we enter 2012 we learn that a strain of MTB totally resistant (TDR) to all current antimicrobials has entered the Indian sub-continent . This new strain to India, TDR-MTB first emerged in 2009 in 15 patients in Iran. In a letter to CID (http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/11/24/cid.cir889.full.pdf+html) published in late December 2011 Udwadia and colleagues describe how a strain recovered from four patients was resistant to all first line (isoniazid, frifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide and streptomycin) and second-line antimicrobials (ofloxacin, moxifloxacin, kanamycin, amikacin, capreomycin, para-aminosalicyclic acid, and ethionamide. While TDR-MTB is not new to the world, its emergence in India is cause for concern.

Arsène Wenger says the Club's pre-season tour of Asia has been a complete success.
Arsenal's week-long stay in the Far East came to an end on Saturday night with Carlos Vela's first-half strike earning the Gunners a 1-1 draw with Hangzhou Greentown.
