Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
-r ? указывает на то, что нужно рекурсивно переходить по ссылкам на сайте, чтобы скачивать страницы.
-k ? используется для того, чтобы wget преобразовал все ссылки в скаченных файлах таким образом, чтобы по ним можно было переходить на локальном компьютере (в автономном режиме).
-p ? указывает на то, что нужно загрузить все файлы, которые требуются для отображения страниц (изображения, css и т.д.).
-l ? определяет максимальную глубину вложенности страниц, которые wget должен скачать (по умолчанию значение равно 5, в примере мы установили 7). В большинстве случаев сайты имеют страницы с большой степенью вложенности и wget может просто ?закопаться?, скачивая новые страницы. Чтобы этого не произошло можно использовать параметр -l.
-E ? добавлять к загруженным файлам расширение .html.
-nc ? при использовании данного параметра существующие файлы не будут перезаписаны. Это удобно, когда нужно продолжить загрузку сайта, прерванную в предыдущий раз.
This uses wget instead of curl
?mirror : turn on options suitable for mirroring.
-p : download all files that are necessary to properly display a given HTML page.
?convert-links : after the download, convert the links in document for local viewing.
-P ./LOCAL-DIR : save all the files and directories to the specified directory.
I wanted to play a song from the shell and get the shell back, I also dont want to store the file if it is not needed.
edit, not sure if I need to mention it... killall vlc to stop it
- Where $URL is the URL of the file.
- Replace the $2 by $3 at the end to get a human-readable size.
Credits to svanberg @ ArchLinux forums for original idea.
Edit: Replaced command with better version by FRUiT. (removed unnecessary grep)
This wgets the iso directly to the USB device, replace /dev/sdb with the device name of the USB stick. After wget finishes you will be able to boot the .iso file from the USB stick.
See man wget if you want linked files and not only those hosted on the website.
This example command fetches 'example.com' webpage and then fetches+saves all PDF files listed (linked to) on that webpage.
[*Note: of course there are no PDFs on example.com. This is just an example]
This one-liner greps first 30 direct URLs for .torrent files matching your search querry, ordered by number of seeds (descending; determined by the second number after your querry, in this case 7; for other options just check the site via your favorite web-browser).
You don't have to care about grepping the torrent names as well, because they are already included in the .torrent URL (except for spaces and some other characters replaced by underscores, but still human-readable).
Be sure to have some http://isup.me/ macro handy (someone often kicks the ethernet cables out of their servers ;) ).
I've also coded a more user-friendly ash (should be BASH compatible) script, which also lists the total size of download and number of seeds/peers (available at http://saironiq.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-shell-scripts-4-thepiratebayorg.html - may need some tweaking, as it was written for a router running OpenWrt and transmission).
Happy downloading!
put your link [url] to check if exist the remote file
This will visit recursively all linked urls starting from the specified URL. It won't save anything locally and it will produce a detailed log.
Useful to find broken links in your site. It ignores robots.txt, so just use it on a site you own!
On a machine behind a firewall, it's possible to pass the proxy server address in as a prefix to wget to avoid having to set it as an environment variable first.
Check if a site is down with downforeveryoneorjustme.com
wget -qO - "http://www.google.com/dictionary/json?callback=dict_api.callbacks.id100&q=steering+wheel&sl=en&tl=en&restrict=pr,de&client=te"
this does the actual google dictionary query, returns a JSON string encapsulated in some fancy tag
sed 's/dict_api\.callbacks.id100.//'
here we remove the tag beginning
sed 's/,200,null)//'
and here the tag end
There are also some special characters which could cause problems with some JSON parsers, so if you get some errors, this is probably the case (sed is your friend).
I laso like to trim the "webDefinitions" part, because it (sometimes) contains misleading information.
sed 's/\,\"webDefinitions.*//'
(but remember to append a "}" at the end, because the JSON string will be invalid)
The output also contains links to mp3 files with pronounciation.
As of now, this is only usable in the English language. If you choose other than English, you will only get webDefinitions (which are crap).
EDIT: command updated to support accented characters!
Works in any of 58 google supported languages (some sound like crap, english is the best IMO).
You get a mp3 file containing your query in spoken language. There is a limit of 100 characters for the "q" parameter, so be careful. The "tl" parameter contains target language.
The FLAC audio must be encoded at 16000Hz sampling rate (SoX is your friend).
Outputs a short JSON string, the actual speech is in the hypotheses->utterance, the accuracy is stored in hypotheses->confidence (ranging from 0 to 1).
Google also accepts audio in some special speex format (audio/x-speex-with-header-byte), which is much smaller in comparison with losless FLAC, but I haven't been able to encode such a sample.
substitute "example" with desired string;
tl = target language (en, fr, de, hu, ...);
you can leave sl parameter as-is (autodetection works fine)

Yes, I know, all that head/tail/grep crap can be improved with a single sed command, feel free to send "patches" :D

I'm finishing up the small details of my son's Clone trooper suit. I'm extremely happy with how it looks...All of the hard work paid off when I seen him fully suited for his 1st fitting..Please provided any feedback that will help me improve the suit. I just need to do his shoes and ammo belt. And some weathering.
ARMOR: I bought the armor from a member here on TDH. I originally bought the clone armor EPS II, but my son seen Cody on the Clone forum and it was a done deal. I bought the Cody accessories and started the project. Great customer service and communication was great. I bought this back in April, so getting a hold of the seller was not a problem...I can just imagine the demand for these around this time so getting communication might be a bit slow since he is pushing out these great suits for kids....2 thumbs way up for Kids Clone Armor
Helmet: This was part of the Kid Armor and when I bought the Cody package it included the visor and antennas. I bought some end caps for kitchen faucet and cut them to size to fit the aerators. I made holes so it will be better for the hot air to get out and not fog up his visor. They give the helmet a more professional look. I did stickers instead of the decals. I used pin stripes for the lines on the visor.
Under Suit: I did not want to spend an arm and a leg for Under Armor. I searched for days to find a cheap alternative.
Blaster: Its a Hasbro build your own Clone blaster (rex)...This thing is so sweet. You attached different parts to make a a DC-15 clone blaster...each time you add a part it makes a cool sound and after you add the part it makes a different sound. I spent about an hour taping off all of the blue parts so I can paint them orange. it was very tittious, but the results were stellar. This touch really adds to the suit.

The problem arises when opinions clash with reality. Such as one we see crop up here about the use of prongs or ecollars, people who use them are automatically painted as being cruel to their dogs. Sweeping ad hominem attacks should be challenged as they create and foster disinformation.
We also see it here when people come on board wanting to breed their young dogs who have not had any testing for health reasons.
There are some opinions which should not be validated because they are wrong and in some cases unfair or dangerous for the dogs in question.
We've had some people huff off here when told they shouldn't breed their untested pets but it's the price of sticking up for what we know is right.
I also think a healthy debate on other topics where there is a grey area is good. The problem is people become invested in being right at all costs and resort to personal attacks when the other person makes a better argument, supported by objective facts and logic.
On the internet and IRL I've found how well you defend your point of view often the angrier the person you are debating becomes. Usually the first one to lay down a personal attack has lost.
This however causes friction and can carry over with bad feelings. The thing is the same person that wrote something I disagreed with today could write something a week later I agree completely and I will say so.
Most people just don't know how to debate and put it in the context of one debate, on one issue without trying paint the entire person with whom they disagree as a "bad person"
There are a couple of people here who you can have a good back and forth with and leave as friends. Blanket Back, Dani Fani, Sue Selzer, Lillie to name a few.
Really that's a sign of a vibrant community when we can give credit when someone makes a good point, if someone shows our opinion doesn't hold up under scrutiny (trust me that's happened to me a lot learning about this complex breed of GSDs). It doesn't have to become a grudge to be held forever.
I had to apologize recently in a thread where I misunderstood what the OP was saying. I don't think misunderstanding is wrong, happens to all of us from time to time, to accept ones mistake and admitting it and or apologizing is a choice.
It's also a choice to keep each issues discussed about the issue, not the persons involved personality, character and worthiness of fair treatment.
Good topic. Thank you for starting it.
I just want to say I really appreciate all the different aspects and insight that were offered. Just to clarify, I am not a total attention hog (well, not today that is), but I was just confused on the dynamics of it all. I think one of the biggest gripes I see from a good portion of you is the same gripe I have in person with people. No one is the final authority on the choices/path that another makes or takes. I'm sure we all want to think that our opinion is the only opinion and darn it if you don't take it you're stupid, but things are never that cut and dry. I've been dealing with interpersonal communications for years and there are some things I feel people should always do in any interactions with others:
1) It is okay to disagree! That is why the world is so incredible, because it is diverse and unique and beautiful. There is a WAY to disagree though. Shoving anything down anyone's throat and being overly aggressive is going to give people a bad vibe even if you are 100% correct. Just note this is a different day and age where your words are now permanently etched on the internet. So think of this when disagreeing, because you are possibly ending future relationships before they even begin. Obviously, if you are a recluse, this does not apply
2) Validation and acceptance! Though I know there are those that say they do not care about these things, that is not entirely true. As a living human being, this is a part of who we are. Acceptance is another form of survival. If you can be accepted within a group, your chances of survival raise. Obviously, that is not really how it is utilized now, but that is why it is there. You don't have to AGREE with someone to value their opinion or accept it. Tact is definitely a lost art, and one that needs to be revitalized ASAP. I disagree with customers all the time on multiple things, but I don't allow that to alienate a person or destroy a foundation for a relationship.
OK, I am done now as I am a salesperson at heart, so take EVERYTHING I say with a grain of salt. I am not always right, I am never perfect, and I love being that way. Speaking of sales, anyone need a hydraulic motor for their fishing boat? LOL jk
Yup. Sadly too, I agree.

Life is short. You never know what kind of curve ball will be thrown your way. Look at Lee and her terrible car accident for example. Puts things in perspective.
It is far more difficult, but far more rewarding IMO to give the benefit of the doubt, seek to understand and not hold grudges over what often are minor disagreements and misunderstandings. Apologizing and/or letting go is the better way.

Doesn't much have to do with the pet home/non competing thing... it has to do with interest, perception/willingness to learn, and attitude. I'm somewhere in between a pet home and sport home I think? And I've made a ton of awesome sport and pet home friends... once I stopped being a combative, annoying tool.
I've also met a few people here in real life, was engaged to one of them, know a ton on facebook, text some regularly, compete with some, will be borrowing one's dog... It takes time to form the friendships, but they're so worth it. And we aren't cliquey as long as you don't get on Jax's bad side.

Brian, you make some of the weirdest posts :mrgreen: 8-) :shock: ;) :) :)Now, you tell me, how on earth did you remember all the names of those weird road signs (well, you most likely wrote them down as you were travelling). I found that so ding dang interesting about all the different road signs that you have noted. I would love to hear more about weird names of roads, what a cool thread!!! Have a most wonderfully awesome and great day, love life. Cindi
I have a book named "Dirty ankle is for from bath, NC".Some of the towns listed, and all are in NC, are cold water,bull tail, daddysville, ether, honey hill, jot-um-down, tallyho, thanksgiving, just to name a few. I live just a couple miles from frogtown, which is next to worthville.

very nice build so far, love the helmet
very nice build so far, love the helmet
Thank you guys!
So I started to scratch build the sidearm today. I found a great Nerf gun from Walmart and some greeblies from Home Depot. I plan on correcting the handle's shape, adding the grip texture and then getting the angle before I continue with the rest. I might even Rub n Buff the pipe. Not sure yet.
What do you guys think?
Cool. That's a nice start. Keep us updated.
Incase you guys didn't see my showoff thread, I picked up a real nemrod holster and US dive buckle for $85.
Also, my gauntlets will be finished this weekend. Stay tuned
Where do you guys find real parts like that for that price? Whenever I look for a nemrod or pulce, I get nothing or on rare occasion I actually find one, its way out of my price range.
Here are a couple of shots of what I have so far. Gauntlets will be finished in a couple weeks. Really need to get some MOW boots and a BBF belt sometime next month when funds allow it.
Very nice Wes! Man you can go wrong with MOW boots and BBF belt, I have both and love them. That BBF is amazing!
Gauntlets finished.
awesome parts! this will be a great costume!
Nice! Really coming along well.
Thank you guys!
Here's a side by side comparison of what I have so far (minus the armor that's on it's way, the Jetpack that I need a harness for, and the real Nemrod holster). I plan on hitting my left leg some more and I need to weather the vest too. Let me know what you think!
What colour is that on the gauntlets? It looks a bit too dark, if you look at the comparison pic the gauntlets are a lighter green
Than on the helmet dome and cheeks yet your gaunts are darker, other than that I think its going great.
To be honest, I don't know exactly. My painting is being commissioned. I'll find out.
But if you look at the reference, the Gauntlets on the original fett do in fact match the dome just as mine do. At least, that's my opinion.
Last edited by Wes7; Apr 23, 2013 at 5:18 PM.
Everything looks killer dude. Paintjob on the gauntlets looks great. The rocket and the flamethrower look really nice as well. I agree that they look a little dark compared to the helmet though. Did the same guy paint them?
Yeah same guy painted them. He's been doing paint jobs for Florida 501st costumes for years and Fett is no exception. I really think it's the lighting. Here are some other shots of the Gaunts.
He said since he doesn't have any of the US medium green he used hunt club green.
Here's what his armor looks like and what mine will look like when he paints it:
Looking great so far Wes! And I think you are right, the lighting is probably throwing it off. They look great to me, very sharp. I look forward to seeing the vest get weathered!
Very nice Wes! I'm actually liking that color.
looking good Mr.
Thank you both. Means a lot.
Still haven't ordered the boots or belt. Funds are not good right now but I just got promoted so it should pick back up in a couple weeks. I should be getting one of Dark-Side's aluminum Jetpack beacons in the mail any day now.
Zach does great work Epic build.
And I've screwed up. I was weathering my vest by very lightly misting it with some light brown spray paint and I noticed my can was running low. So I got a little closer and then I thought it was completely out so I put the spray can about 4 inches away from the vest to see if I could get any particles and bam. A whole glob of brown paint coats onto the left sleeve of my vest.
I'm frantically washing it as hot as my washer can go. I coated it with stain off and detergent.
ARGH how bad is it? will the shoulder bells cover it?


text: Los Angeles Lakers guard likes to be close to his kids, just not in the same state with him, especially if it means he will have to pay more child support to be near them. In a move that looks really a-holey, TMZ is reporting that Nash is trying to block his ex-wife from moving from Arizona to California because Steve would have to pay more child support if she did. Umm, so all that stuff about wanting to be close to his kids? I guess that is true only if it also means he does not have to pay more money to be close to them. The guy makes millions. He does not want to spend some of that to have his kids where he could see them everyday if he wanted? Apparently not because he is spending a ton of money to make sure they don't move any closer.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|My nephew rang me up and said he wanted to go ahead and replace the 2.9 V6 in his 4 wheel drive ranger with a 4.0 he had laying around. I ordered the rebuild kit for the 4.0 and off he went. Within no time at all, he had it swapped in, next we go to the junkyard and get a computer wiring harness off a Explorer SUV. It was around that time he learned, the haresses are not the same, it seems ford changed them every other month. He takes it home and makes the mods needed to adapt the harness. He calls me and says certain things aren`t working, like the radio, the a/c blower motor, and other odds and ends. Since I`m not big on fords I told him the only thing I knew to tell him which was look for something disconnected somewhere. Told`em check the fuse panel to make sure it was getting power. Then after we got off the phone a thought struck me, I had remembered looking at the truck when the engine was out and noticed in the underhood fuse panel, about center ways there was 3 fuses not present. Then it hit me that maybe they had been relocated on the Explorer harness to these places in the fuse box. so I called him back and told him to install a fuse in every open space in the fuse box under the hood. He called me back in 5 minutes happy as he could be as everything worked again. It made it laughable to me that ford made those tiny changes in a wiring harness, I guess one location for the radio fuse was better than another lol.
I think Rambler/AMC has Ford trumped when it comes to mid-year changes, changes that were "just because" and things like that. THOSE guys have fun!
But I agree Ford guys don't have things easy. Hell, just the differences between the Windsor engines will keep you up at night if you're working w/them- at least until you're up to speed.
|Lol. Not to worry on why GM some things that were weird. However, they were few enough to keep up with. Now, take Ford, they changed something every couple of years. I`m not a Ford guy but I got vast respect for those that are that could keep up with the constant changes they made. You gotta have a memory like a elephant to remember all of Fords changes.
|wow thanks everyone! i wonder why gm did all these wierd inconsistent things.
The casting numbers here are for production blocks manufactured from 1986 to the end of GenI/GenII production.
For 350 flat tappet blocks look for casting number 10054727, 14079287, 14088548, and 14101148.
Roller blocks are more complicated because even though the casting number indicates the block is provisioned for a roller cam, it doesn't for sure mean the block has a roller cam. But if so provisioned, a factory roller cam can be installed to one of these even if it currently has a flat tappet cam. For 350 roller tappet blocks look for casting numbers 10243880,14011148, 14088526, and 14093638 these can be a 2 or 4 bolt block. The 880 is the Vortec block it appears in mid 1995 production with swirl port heads and TBI and may have a flat tappet cam but is fully provisioned for a roller in all instances. It appears again in some 1996, 49 state vehicles with Vortec heads and TBI.
A problem you could encounter when hunting the wrecking yards and rebuilders is that there is a flat tappet block and a roller that both end with the numbers 148. 14101148 is a flat tappet truck block, 14011148 is a roller provisioned block.
I`m yet to bump into a 4 bolt Vortec block. I know they`re out there though.
I wonder if my luck happens to others. Last junkyard visit, I found two complete 880`s top to bottom with Vortec heads still intact and here I am unemployed so I couldn`t buy them. Had I still been employed, I would have snatched them both up. Used to be I bought every Vortec block I got my hands on, when I join the world of the working again, I plan to keep that going. On another interesting note, a friend of ours dropped off his truck to my bro in laws shop, he had another engine and wanted them swapped. We removed the Vortec 350, it had a cracked head on the passengers side.
Afterwards, he told us to keep the Vortec engine, so I popped the valve covers off to check the casting numbers, they were the 062`s, interesting was they had "hencho in mexico" on them. I was surprised to find they were mexico heads. When I caught up with the previous owner he said the heads had been swapped before when the truck had ran hot and cracked the heads but he didn`t know where the replacement heads came from. It made me wonder if they came from a dealer or from another source. When I did my first Vortec build for a friend of mine, we had the block bored .030, decked .010, Comp hydraulic roller cam with .215 duration, hyper flat top coated skirt pistons, .043 quench distance. RHS Vortec heads, Performer Vortec intake, SMI Quadrajet, headers, duals with flowmasters, Moroso spiral core wires, pertronix flame thrower coil and module, Fresh TH350, 2400 Tork master converter, 3.42 gears with posi. The results we got shocked us both. Stall it, release the brake, nail it to the floor, the rear goes down, the front end comes up. It pulls so hard upon launch it`s a rush when it slams you back in the seat. It hooks really well to be a stock suspension. wind it up and shift to 2nd and before you can blink your past 65 headed higher. I came up with the combo to be a low to mid range torque beast. And the cool part is, if you keep your foot out of it, it gets the same MPG his chevy colorado 5 cylinder pickup does. Were looking forward to doing more tuning when the weather permits then taking it to the strip to get a time on it in the spring. With a roller cam and vortec heads on a mild combo you can`t go wrong. That`s where I got my belief of once you go roller you never go back.
|Just for reference my 350 came out of a '96 1-Ton van. It had TBI with '193 heads and a flat tappet cam. It's a 2 bolt main '880 block fully machined for a roller cam and mechanical fuel pump and it had the windage tray and oil cooler package. I also have a '97 L30 Vortec 305 that is fully machined for a mechanical pump.
|FWIW, my Vortec engine is a 2-bolt, came w/062 heads. Maybe that's a way to "know" if the block is a 2- or 4-bolt? Prolly not, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a 4-bolt w/062 heads, or a 2-bolt w/906's.
FWIW, most of the Vortec long blocks I buy have VERY little bore wear. They're always 4 bolt main blocks tht I get and as far as I can remember they are all 880 blocks. All they needed was a clean up and a quick hone job.
All were roller cam and I believe most were truck engines (906 heads).
If you can get one at a good deal (most I've paid is 350 for a long block) you can make 400+hp really cheaply. A rebuild kit, intake, carb, dizzy, and cam is about all else you'll need to add.
Most of the TBI stuff I saw was worn more, but it was also ran very hard, so that may have made the biggest difference.
|I only use the Vortec blocks. Some of them do have the complete fuel pump boss ready to go and some of them don`t. I`ve seen them half complete. On my friends block we had to finish drilling the fuel pump pushrod hole and afterwards drill the return drain holes. There`s supposedly a kit online you can buy to completely drill and tap the assembly but last I looked it wasn`t cheap. I doubt there is much difference in terms of core shift and strength between the older and vortec blocks, far as I know the factory has never been very careful on those matters. But I have heard some say the Vortec block is far better and the material is better, but I kind of doubt there`s any truth to this, why is because you can get hundreds of thousands of miles out of a TBI engine just as you can a Vortec engine. I like the Vortec blocks because they have the roller cam and Windage tray. What I don`t like about them is you have to use a Cloyes Vortec timing chain set.
One thing- not ALL the '87-up blocks are provisioned for roller cams. I have a '92 truck 5.7L engine w/swirl port TBI heads and NO bosses for the spider, no machined lifter bosses, no cam retainer bosses, etc. Not just untapped- un-there! lol
The breakdown goes like this (be aware there are ALWAYS exceptions):
For 350 flat tappet blocks look for casting number 10054727, 14079287, 14088548, and 14101148.
For 350 roller tappet blocks look for casting numbers 10243880, 14011148, 14088526, and 14093638.
There are '87-up blocks that have the full provisions for a mechanical fuel pump, but they're relatively rare. Most often they're the earlier blocks and blocks that are equipped w/flat tappet cams.
Something to watch out for: There's a flat tappet block AND a roller block that both end with the numbers 148. 14101148 is a flat tappet block, 14011148 is a roller block.
About the quickest way to tell if you are looking at a roller engine in the junk yard, is to pull a valve cover and remove a push rod. Flat tappet p-rods are about 7.8, roller p-rods are much shorter at 7.2 long.
AFAIK, there's no 'good' and 'not as good' blocks, other than 2- and 4-bolt mains.
Hope this helps!
TBI vs Vortec Block
Hey Everyone! I have been looking at a bunch of different late model SBC 350 Gen 1 blocks lately and was wondering what the difference is between them in quality like core shift, power handling, and over all strength. When I refer to "late model" I am talking about 87'-up 1piece rear main seal blocks.
I know all late model blocks come with the option of a roller cam so both have the anchor points for the spider retainer. From what I have noticed cars got roller cams but trucks received flat tappet cams till the introduction of the vortec motor. I have also noticed that "880" or vortec blocks do not have the fuel pump pushrod hole drilled where the TBI blocks do. Are there any other things different between these blocks? Which one will hold more power etc...... Thanks in advance everyone!!!!

Hello forum,
So i had a a beautiful epiphany the other morning, and realised that i really really want to TEFL in Japan.
I'm a native speaker and have a degree in English with Film, currently living in the UK, no official TEFL qualifications. I'm finding the amount of information to be a bit overwhelming, can anyone give me some very basic pointers in terms of getting started on this? I would absolutely love to work in Japan, if not in a city then on the outskirts.
Do i necessarily need to spend an obscene amount of money on getting qualified? Anyone perhaps work in Japan themselves and can offer some advice?
Many thanks.

Searching for the Perfect French Baguette
For the last month I have been searching for a locally-sourced authentic French baguette. And I have been coming-up on the short end of the loaf in terms of success.
Until today.
I just got back last night from a South Dakota pheasant hunt. Today I tackled unpacking, laundry, the day job, repacking for deer camp and getting the vehicle cleaned of all the dirt and dog hair. The $23 Ultimate Wash at Wash Brite Full Service Auto Center and Car Wash was just the trick. Driving away in my sparkling truck (with new car smellum) I thought I better check-out Rocket Baby to see if they might have a fresh baguette. With as cold as it's been I was looking forward to a steaming bowl of my own homemade pheasant and wild rice soup tonight. The perfect accompaniment would be a crusty French bread.
May I help you?
I would like one French baguette, please.
Just one? Would you care for something to go with it? Perhaps a side?
Nope. Just the baguette. Since my trip to France I've been on a mission for a baguette that matches what I grew accustomed to over there.
Well, I've never been to France, we're told our baguettes are very good.
$3 changed hands and turning to leave with my carefully wrapped baguette under arm I said - We'll see. If it's the real deal you can count on me returning for more. Regularly.
Placing my bakery on the passenger seat (blissfully free of all the dog hair) I continued east to O'Reilly Auto Parts. Wiper blades were on my mind.
Just a short while ago I dished-up a bowl of not so very heart-healthy soup and sliced some chunks from my big French bread stick.
The Rocket Baby baguette nailed it. Crusty with a soft, chewy center - this was it. The real deal. While the search continues at least the pressure is off. And my soup was excellent too.
Pheasant Wild Rice Soup
3 – South Dakota pheasants (de boned and cut into pieces)
3 – 32 oz. cartons low sodium chicken stock
2 – Sticks of butter
2 – Garden onions (chopped)
2C – Celery (chopped)
18oz – Wild rice
1pt – Heavy cream
Easy recipe made easier if you spread the work over a couple of days.
Cook the wild rice until done, strain and set aside. Adding some concentrated chicken base to the rice while cooking will give you a great end result.
Sauté the onions and celery in 4T of butter and set aside.
Sauté the pheasant in 4T of butter and set aside.
Combine the pheasant and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cook slowly for 40 minutes. In a large stock pot melt the remaining stick of butter and add a cup of flour (give or take) to make a thick roux. Add the onions, celery and wild rice to the pot. Add the pheasant, stock and cream. Bring to a slow boil while stirring regularly. Simmer another hour.
Serve with an authentic French baguette. Salt and pepper to taste. Even better if you reheat the soup after sitting in the fridge for a couple of days.

MAKERS Profiles Blogger, Orthodox Rabba
Aug 15, 2012
The newest video stories added to MAKERS.com document the career paths of a traditional journalist turned blogger and entrepreneur and the first officially ordained "Rabba" in Orthodox Judaism.
Lisa Stone, CEO and co-founder of the award-winning social hub BlogHer, left a traditional journalism career at CNN for the Internet in 1997 and hasn't looked back.
In 2002, she was the first Internet journalist awarded a Nieman Fellowship from Harvard University. As Executive Producer and Editor in Chief/VP, Programming, for Women.com, Stone was responsible for developing some of the most successful online communities.
In 2005, she and co-founders Elisa Camahort Page and Jory Des Jardins launched BlogHer, a publishing and social network and annual conference that reaches 37 million women each month. BlogHer.com has been on Forbes' Top 100 Websites for Women in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Stone has also been honored as one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company and as one of The Most Powerful Moms in Media by Working Mother magazine.
Sara Hurwitz is the first officially ordained "Rabba" in Orthodox Judaism. She's the Rabba at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale, N.Y., and the Dean of Yeshivat Maharat, also in Riverdale. After emigrating with her family from South Africa, she spent her teenage years in Boca Raton, Florida. Her early affinity for religious community life was affirmed when she took a high school vocational test that recommended she join the clergy. At the time, however, Orthodox women were not allowed to serve as rabbis, so she considered the suggestion impossible. Yet Hurwitz's relationship with Judaism continued to grow.
Upon completion of her coursework at Barnard College and then the Drisha Institute, Hurwitz began studying under the Rabbi Avi Weiss of the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale. Over seven years, she received all the training required of a rabbi, learning how to give spiritual guidance, issue legal rulings, and counsel her congregants.
In 2009, Rabbi Weiss officially ordained Hurwitz, giving her the title "Maharat," and later converting it to "Rabba" (a feminized version of rabbi) to more clearly convey her full rabbinic role. While Hurwitz's ordainment caused a fierce backlash from some in the Orthodox community, she maintained her title and her leadership position.

Computer security is an ongoing process, a relentless contest between system administrators and intruders. A good administrator needs to stay one step ahead of any adversaries, which often involves a continuing process of education. If you're grounded in the basics of security, however, you won't necessarily want a complete treatise on the subject each time you pick up a book. Sometimes you want to get straight to the point. That's exactly what the new Linux Security Cookbook does. Rather than provide a total security solution for Linux computers, the authors present a series of easy-to-follow recipes--short, focused pieces of code that administrators can use to improve security and perform common tasks securely.The Linux Security Cookbook includes real solutions to a wide range of targeted problems, such as sending encrypted email within Emacs, restricting access to network services at particular times of day, firewalling a webserver, preventing IP spoofing, setting up key-based SSH authentication, and much more. With over 150 ready-to-use scripts and configuration files, this unique book helps administrators secure their systems without having to look up specific syntax. The book begins with recipes devised to establish a secure system, then moves on to secure day-to-day practices, and concludes with techniques to help your system stay secure.Some of the "recipes" you'll find in this book are:
Dan Barrett has been immersed in Internet technology since 1985. Currently working as a software engineer, Dan has also been a heavy metal singer, Unix system administrator, university lecturer, web designer, and humorist. He has written several O'Reilly books, as well as monthly columns for Compute! and Keyboard Magazine. Dan and his family reside in Boston.

Book Review: Linux Security Cookbook
By USA Linux Users Group
from Undisclosed
USA Linux Users GroupBook ReviewReviewer: GermBook: Linux Security CookbookAuthors: Daniel J. Barrett, Richard Silverman, Robert G. ByrnesPublisher: O'ReillyPages: 311ISBN: 0-596-00391-9Edition: 1st Edition June, 2003Intended Audience: intermediate level userThe Book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/index.htmlSample Recipes:http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/excerpt/lsckbk_chap1/index1.htmlSecurity, one of the most important words in computing today. A standard install of a modern distro is relatively secure "out of the box". With all the bad guys out there, certain extra steps should be taken towards increasing the security of your Linux box. There is also a fine line between good enough, too strict, convenience, and other variables. The authors have taken all this into consideration. The situations encountered by the home desktop user all the way to the veteran System Admin are covered. Be sure to read the Preface to this book. It could be a real eye-opener.Linux Security Cookbook will not teach you everything you need to know about security. In the tradition of the cookbook format, the authors have provided concise, bloat free, and easy to understand recipes. The pros and cons of each recipe are carefully explained. With over 150 file configurations and scripts, there is something for everyone.In Chapter 1 the focus is on system security and Tripwire, one of the best known system integrity checkers. Tripwire takes a snapshot of you system files that can be compared to the current state of the system. You'll learn how to setup the policy and database, and how to keep Tripwire itself from being compromised.Chapters 2, 3, and 4 cover internet and network security from firewalls, to network authorisation, to user policies, authentication, and permissions. you will also learn how to protect your email and web site.Chapters 5 and 6 give a more indepth treatment of user permissions regarding sudo, file sharing, SSH, and associated tools.Chapters 7 and 8 should be given special consideration by home users. The main topics coverd in the two chapters are email and file security. You will learn about setting the correct permissions and encrypting files and email using GPG. There are also some great recipes for securing several different email clients.Chapter 9 should be paid careful attention by every user. Now that you have secured your Linux box and network, you should regularly monitor and test it. Tools and techniques in the following areas are covered: logins and passwords, filesystems, networking, and logging. This chapter finishes with information on recovering a hacked system and filing a incident report with the appropriate authorities. Chapter 9 can be downloaded as a PDF file: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/chapter/ch09.pdf The authors have done a great job providing security recipes covering a wide range of tools and techniques. In today's computing environment securing your system and network is a must. The Linux Security Cookbook is highly recommended and once you obtain a copy it will become your standard reference for security matters.Many thanks to O'Reilly for providing a copy of Linux Security Cookbook to USALUG's Book Review Group.Originally Posted: http://usalug.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5281

Linux Security Cookbook Review
By James Ko
Linux Security Cookbook has so much to offer: from setting up Tripwire to simple authentication, to setting up Linux firewall such as the popular ipchain or iptable, to using IDS snort for monitoring, this book has plenty of examples. In addition to the tips on how to encrypt files with GuPgP, it also shows our readers how to set up openSSH for remote access, as well as how to make email secure with IMAP/POP with SSL.Not only does this book provide readers with an overview of what Linux security has to offer, it also provides readers with a very practical hands-on implementation. I also liked about this book is that the authors will tell you about which packages come with SuSE Linux but not with Red Hat Linux, as an example. This helps the reader a lot when you need to decide what features to implement, or settle on what Linux distributions to use. Job well done!James KoOAM & Security, Data Network Engineering

Very easy to read and follow. Great book.
By Ravi
Linux Security Cookbook is a very useful book for quick reference. It covers a wide range of security topics and issues related to not just Linux but most Unices. The recipes provided here are well written and ready to use. I have found many tips related to sudo, SSH, xinetd, encryption and network security extremely useful. Some of the recipes show the true hacker spirit in the authors - they teach how to be creative, rather than merely explaining facts and methodologies. Full credit to the authors for bringing out such a comprehensive book on Linux Security.
By Charles McColm
As the title suggests, LSC is a series of different Linux security "recipes." I found the cookbook-style of presentation both good and bad. Some recipes were a breeze to follow (such as the gpg recipes). Other recipes were a bit more challenging in part because of my lack of experience and because they are designed to be implemented on systems larger than my 2 node network.As a "desktop" Linux user who only administers a desktop machine and notebook the chapters I found most useful were those on intrusion detection systems (Chapter 1) and GPG (Chapters 7 & 8). That said, LSC contains dozens of useful recipes for administrators from PAM authentication to monitoring who is doing what on your system. Some of the programs covered are programs I've never heard of before, John the Ripper for example. Other recipes cover those programs I know I should check out, like Snort, but have never taken the time to. LSC isn't distribution-specific but contains some useful hints for particular distributions.LSC is easy to follow. The authors have been very careful to mention when software may or may not be included in a distribution and how to find and install it. I got tripped up a little in the first chapter (which covers tripwire), because I tried downloading and compiling the tripwire source found at the tripwire web site. I obtained the source from a couple of recommended sites. In one instance tripwire failed to compile correctly, in another it compiled but kept segfaulting when I tried to initialize the database. It wasn't until after I emailed O'Reilly that I saw mention further in Chapter 1 that tripwire is included with Red Hat Linux. One of the authors, Daniel J. Barrett, also emailed me to tell me that it was on the third CD – doh! The upside of this little tale is that I got to know aide (another intrusion detection system) a little better after I installed it on my Debian-based notebook.LSC is certainly money well spent. I now use gpg and check my systems for intrusions on a regular basis. I've also finally found a spring board for learning more about Linux security. Reading O'Reilly's LSC made it easier to follow the ipchains-HOWTO and learn more about Linux security from other sources. If you're new to Linux security LSC is a great springboard for learning about a wide range of Linux security issues.I've saved what is actually covered in LSC for the end of this review. My intention in this review has been mainly to present my experience with LSC so that other Linux users who are also still desktop users, or have never really been concerned with Linux security issues can take away the fact that despite a few sticking points I found this book to be a great source for information on different Linux security issues. For those concerned with the meat of the book, here's how it breaks down: 1. System Snapshots with Tripwire 2. Firewalls with iptables and ipchains 3. Network Access Control (xinetd, inetd, preventing DOS attacks) 4. Authentication Techniques and Infrastructures (PAM, SSL, Kerberos) 5. Authorization Controls (su and sudo) 6. Protecting Outgoing Network Connections (OpenSSH) 7. Protecting Files (permissions, GPG) 8. Protecting Email (all popular mail user agents, SSL and SSH) 9. Testing and Monitoring (Jack the Ripper, Cracklib, Snort, tcpdump, syslog) You really need to have a good look at the table of contents to get an idea of all this book covers. I have written about it from a desktop-user standpoint, but there are so many recipes that I couldn't cover everything. There are many great code snippets that more advanced users would find useful. If you don't have an intrusion detection system, need to grant some of your users limited root privileges, have been using the default firewall rules (or don't have a clue about iptables/ipchains), haven't checked your system for root kits or insecure protocols, then the Linux Security Cookbook should be at the top of your reading list.

What can I say, after two failed attempts to start painting my CC FP helmet, I am feeling like I want to give up. Not sure what to do at this point. Nothing sticks to the silver paint, not even primer. So needless to say after a good couple hours utilizing wet sanding combined with Mineral Spirits I did manage to get the helmet down to the original cold cast metalized layer, even went thru to the resin in some areas, so I know any of the previous problems are gone and I am back to square one. SO...that being said, does anyone have any suggestions? I want to prime it first. Silver is NOT going to be my first color. Not going there again. I am going to prime it and lay down some base colors and go with topical detailing. What primer do you guys suggest? Maybe an automotive primer at this point? The stuff I used this last time was Krylon gray primer, so that's probably why it didn't want to cover the silver to begin with!! It literally would come off with just a fingernail flick. I saw some Rustoleum Clean Metal primer that says "superior adhesion to prevent chipping and cracking" Anyone think that might work? Here is the product
Rust-Oleum 7780830 Clean Metal Primer Spray Paint (6 Pack), White Clean Metal at PlumberSurplus.com
What I am looking for at this point is a solid, durable primer that someone has used and can recommend and is going to stick and cover this helmet to give me a new work surface. Thanks guys!

Re: Cats on Board
Stupid thats the name of my cat, has already used up 3 of his 9 lives by going overboard. He really is not very graceful. He is not good crew, lazy,( thinks he can sleep on my chest when I nap), never takes time at the helm. he complains for 15 or 20 mins when he hears the electronics go on, and thinks he should be able to drink from the head sink after he hears the water pump kick on. We rescued him on his last day at the shelter so I doubt anyone else would want him. He won't stand if taken to land, he will just lay there and whine like someone is killing him if put on solid ground. They say" black cats are lucky aboard" well who ever said that never tripped over one in the middle of the night when they heard a horn go off. I've accepted the fact he will remain crew until he uses up the remaining 6 lives and at the rate hes going, it only means I'll need to feed him 6 or 7 more years.

Don''t expect skippers to be friendly to your cat if they are causing damage.
One boat I know had a cat that kept spraying their pillows. Another boat leashed their cat to the deck so it wouldn''t jump ship. That cat stranged himself after wrapping the line around a lifeline trying to jump off the boat.
excuse me , but this is the stupidest cat hating writing i have ever e¡read.
NEVER declaw your cat on a boat. makes em not able to reboard when falling over. not to mention, declawing is actually a knuckle-ectomy and removes cats ability to groom and save self. you do it to yourself then try it on gato.
never leave cat leashed when you are gone.
cats learn faster than dogs when you need to teach em stuff. mine is trained well. he fell ob once but he has better respect for he boat and what is under it. he knows it is bad there..
leave lines over for cat to reboard.... teach cat where to go to climb back onto boat.
taking a cat on board is like taking a human never boated onto a boat ..and most folks thing a cat is gonna self train.,.lol... teach well your cat or dont have it...same with dogs.
at least a cat is a good early warning for strangers approaching and they kill things that land on boat, like seagulls and gekkos and stuff....and keep mice at bay. dont think there are no longer mice and rats in marinas and thereabouts..lol... have fun being evile you haters out there...lol
mebbe if you understood cats you might not be so rude and evile.
Re: Cats on Board
Let's face it a cat is a total waste of perfectly good DNA that could be used on something more useful like grapes or hops and yeast. They won't even chase a stick. A Cat will usually be found skulking under stationary cars looking all innocent when in fact what they are doing is sawing through your brake pipes. Have a cat aboard your boat and anything that goes wrong is down to the hairy Ninja saboteur. You never own a cat; they own you and they have got no concerns when it comes to selling you out at the first opportunity. Leave the critter alone on your boat and if "Billy the Burglar" in the stripped tee shirts and mask come calling what does the fur ball do? Shows its teeth or makes a noise? No, it either ignores them or shows them where you keep your prized possessions. Even if Billy does not come calling with his jemmy leave the fur ball alone for too long and it will be putting posters up and holding an open sale of your worldly goods. A cat will always think it know better than you, you can see it in their sly, scheming eyes. Do a bit of maintenance here and there and although they are pretending to be totally disinterested, that one eye he has on you is thinking "That's all wrong, it will never work". You can also tell a cat lives aboard a boat. It smells as if Grandma Mable's has eaten the world's supply of asparagus and her colostomy bag has burst. Now don't get me wrong, I am a modern-day man and can show my emotions. Just like the next man I like to stroke the occasional ***** but a cat as a companion on a boat! I would rather have Charles Manson in charge of sharpening the ship knifes whilst I slept soundly in my bed.

Re: Cats on Board
On leaving a dog in the boat while you leave for a bit....
I have left my friends 70lb pitbull in a 28 foot boat for about a couple hours while I went to go get a meal. I was pretty nervous about it but came back and everything was still intact! Just had some slobber on the pillows in the v berth. I did put some peanut butter inside a bone so that probably kept her busy for a while.
Re:Siamese Cats on Board
As I am in the process of looking for my live aboard I must be honest , I didn't give it a second thought that my Siamese cat Juneau would instantly adapt. Perhaps it is because he acts like a dog. He walks with the dog, is vocal like the dog, sleeps with the dog and wrestles with the dog. I am also not surprised that many have Siamese that live on the water. Perhaps I have made too many assumptions? Lol
Re: Cats on Board
Does anyone have ideas on how to deal with a cat that gets seasick? Our cat does OK when things are benign, but when the seas and wind kick up, so does he. He starts by drooling, and then moves on to vomit, and bowel/bladder evacuations. Not fun, for him or for us.
I think it is, in part, a fear response, but he has always been prone to motion sickness. We've tried giving him gravol and other drugs, but we have to force it down him, and this tends to scare him -- leading to a bad outcome. Besides, I hate to have him drugged.
He does get better the longer he's on the boat. I have hopes that once we move on full-time he'll fully adjust (we tend to go out for 4 to 6 weeks at a time now).
Any suggestions of things I could try?

Dangerous feline parasite at shocking levels in humans
Cats are cute but you could be picking up a parasite from them.
A parasite spread by cats is infecting 1000 new people every day in Britain - about 750,000 a year - according to an official assessment of the risks posed by toxoplasma, which can cause serious illness and has been tentatively linked with schizophrenia and other psychotic disturbances.

Have been moored in the same place and kitty coming and going as she pleases, the real test will be how she fares when I move the boat to a different spot on the river tomorrow...
Any advice?

(SportsNetwork.com) - Mike Zimmer will be the next head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, according to NFL.com.
Zimmer had been the defensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals since 2008. He replaces Leslie Frazier, who was fired after the 2013 season.
Before joining the Bengals, Zimmer was the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys (2000-06) and Atlanta Falcons (2007).
Minnesota's defense gave up the second-most yards and most points in the NFL this past season.
The Bengals' defense has finished in the top 10 in yards and points allowed in four of the last five seasons under Zimmer.
Zimmer started his NFL coaching career with the Cowboys in 1994 as an assistant. He became the team's defensive coordinator in 2000.
The 57-year-old Zimmer will have the task of turning around a Vikings team that went 5-10-1 in 2013.

Schenectady grandmother found guilty of killing 8 year old grandson
Guilty. That's the verdict by a Schenectady county judge deciding the fate of a woman accused of torturing and killing her grandson.
After days of emotional testimony from other family members and excruciating descriptions of the 8 year old's injuries, Gloria Nelligan has been found guilty of murder and manslaughter.
Prosecutors say what started as discipline over Sha'hiim Nelligan stealing a pack of gum escalated and turned in a three day beating.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Personally, I think it's too little too late. Most of the comments are right on and bring up some really good points.

Me, personally, I don't buy anything from Microcosm anymore, but what other people do with their money is really, their own decision.
Yeah, personally I don't buy from Microcosm either, but I can't stop my library from buying from Microcosm. They go where it seems quick and easy, and my explaining the dealings between people behind the scenes would only get me strange looks. The situation doesn't really translate to people outside of a particular community, even within the zine community it doesn't connect on the same level with everyone. But perhaps I can appeal to the folks who choose where to order from by discussing the theft from and unfair compensation of zine artists and writers... I believe I saw a couple of comments questioning Microcosm's business practices. Are there documented complaints?

Sadly, I can see how larger institutions and people who don't care about accountability and don't care about social justice in their communities would still want to support Microcosm. What's it to anyone in the larger framework of our callous society that someone just behaves as a capitalist, abuses TWO intimate partners, steals artwork, withholds paychecks, reprints zines without permission, repeatedly undermines a supposed collective, and evades multiple attempts at community accountability? It's par for the course in the larger world, and I think it is sad.
To me, the damnable shame is the disconnect be the image they have and the items they carry vs. how they behave and what they say.
People keep talking about Microcosm carrying all these great zines but something no one has mentioned yet is that people are pulling their items from the Microcosm catalog pretty frequently. I personally know of at least two dozen people that have pulled their great zines, artwork, and even chosen not to publish with Microcosm because of this whole situation and even more who are just going to let their items sell out and not restock. So, where does that leave their selection? Especially when people can no longer get long running zines they expect Microcosm to carry, like Doris?
I really want to start a publishing/distro because I love the stuff that is at Microcosm. But I'm just learning about bookbinding and things. If anyone would like to connect they can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com - I want to have zines, publish books, tees, dvds, and buttons. :)

If it's a little too late, do you think any other distro or collective is ready to step up and take their place? I love that there are tons of smaller/DIY zine distros out there to keep the zine community alive, I did one myself for many years. But I really feel for zines to thrive there needs to be a few bigger distros and publishers with great distribution networks. There was a time when we could turn to one or two zine distributors to get our zines into record stores, book stores and zine stores throughout the States (or in the case of Clint at Tower, throughout the world). While about every big distro has failed, usually another has popped up to take it's place. Microcosm has been that distro for many years, if they fail because of this, who's ready to step in a run a big distro full time?
I like Pioneers Press and avoid Microcosm from what I've heard of them.

911 AUDIO: Woman says fatal Avon shooting was an accident
(Avon) – Avon Police have released the 911 call from a fatal shooting Saturday night.
29-year-old Brandon Smith was shot in the head. Police arrested his roommate, 25-year-old Ryan Raider.
According to the woman who called 911, the two "were getting stupid and messing around with a gun." She told the dispatcher it was an accident and Raider was trying to help Smith.
Note: The 911 call is of a mature nature and emotional. Discretion is advised.
Avon police say they received a 911 call from a female stating that a man had been wounded.
Patrolmen from the Avon, Avon Lake and Sheffield Lake arrived at the residential home, and found Raider leaning over Smith trying to stop the bleeding.
Smith was rushed to MetroHealth Medical Center but doctors could not save him.
Police arrested Raider on charges of reckless homicide and using weapons while intoxicated. He's being held in the Lorain County Jail pending his Tuesday arraignment.

Heh, between the transfer fees and the suppressor units themselves, you'll spend way more than the guns are worth.
I tend to doubt anyone is making threaded barrels for the Bersas. They're not in use by any LE or military agencies, which tends to severely curtail the market for things like suppressor-capable barrels. I get the impression the Bersas appeal mainly to nonenthusiasts looking for an economical defense gun, rather than serious shooters who would buy things like suppressors.

Hey Junior Gunners!
How are you all?
I've been rushed off my feet again recently!
I went down to Borehamwood to watch the Arsenal Ladies take on Turbine Potsdam on November 1. The German team brought lots of fans with them so I went over to make sure they had some pictures to take home with them. The Ladies played really well and won 2-1, with Katie Chapman and Ellen White scoring to ensure they had the advantage going into the second leg of the tie.
The first team took on Manchester United on Saturday, November 3. We had a special Halloween-themed day at the Emirates Stadium where over 200 JGs and their parents came down for a spooky afternoon before watching the game. They all had a lot of fun but unfortunately we lost the game 2-1, with Santi scoring a lovely goal at the end.
On Tuesday, November 6, I had a nice evening in front of the television watching our game away at Schalke in the Champions League. We started really well, with Olivier and Theo giving us a two-goal lead. The game eventually finished as a 2-2 draw which was a good point and kept us on course to qualify to the next round.
Then, the next day, the Ladies made me really proud. They won the second leg of their last-16 game against Potsdam 4-3! Kelly Smith was the hero, scoring a hat-trick. We won the tie 6-4 on aggregate and are now through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
I was at a very special cocktail party for members of the Foundry and WM Club on November 8. Arsène Wenger was in attendance, along with former player Nigel Winterburn and TV star Alan Davies.
The Club supported Remembrance Day and it was fantastic to see so many servicemen and women at the game. We had a minute's silence before the match started, in honour of those who have been killed in action. The game itself again got off to a great start, as Olivier and Lukas put us two goals ahead. Fulham fought back well though, and the final score was 3-3, with Olivier adding his second of the game.
That's all for now.
Big hugs,

Techtalk - What to do when your email gets blocked
August 14, 2013 , 12:55 PM by Steve Martin
Before he comes into the studio every week, George Fong sends me an email outlining some of the things he's like to raise on Techtalk. This week I didn't get that email because the ABC system decided his message was spam.
So what do you do if suddenly the anti-spam gatekeepers mistake you for a spammer and block your emails?
George explained how to get your address off the list, and why sometimes non-spammers can get caught out.

HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
I absolutely cannot believe these guys that say they frequently bleed their clutch. After an hour, and after buying a different wrench & socket set, I managed to get the clutch bleed screw loose. Determined to never go through this again, I removed it to at least replace it with a speed bleeder (needed to remove it to get the right size), heard a bit of a clunk and can't find the bleeder. Looking at pics of the Tremec & bell, and trying to look around up there with a dental mirror - it looks like it can fall - and did fall - INTO the bell housing.
Is that possible> How hosed am I? Do I actually have to drop the transmission now - just because that freaking bleed screw is/was about impossible to get to!
Seriously - HELP!!!
[Edit #1]
And while I have your attention, is is reasonable to install the Monster Clutch 36" CTS-V Remote Bleeder without pulling the trans? Never want to go though THIS again...
[Edit #2]
Yep, Monster says you have to pull it, goes all the way into the slave. Are there any that just screw in where the bleeder was?
Not a good day so far...
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
BTW, that's just a pic I found on the net, my car is still assembled, up on jackstands.
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
What part did you remove?
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
I guess I should of done a lot more research before starting what I THOUGHT should be a simple task. I could see the bleeder rubber cover way up there, took off the cover and got a wrench (socket, actually) on that to loosen it up, assuming it was a normal type bleeder at the end. Given that it was such a PITA to get to, I went ahead and kept unscrewing to take it out and replace it, but fumbling up there blind to finally remove it, it fell.
This thing, as viewed from underneath:
Yeah, I assumed that there was an extension out from the slave with a bleed screw at the end. So what have I done?
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
I think you have dropped the bleeder tube inside and will have to drop the transmission to retrieve it.
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
You can "fish" for it with a magnet.
A magnet on a telescopic wand will work.
If you get it out, reinstall by using something to make it "stick" in the socket or you will drop it back in.
I would not try to install a remote bleeder this way as I don't think you can torque it enough.

Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
The stock bleeder/tube is a solid piece. Picture a really really tall single piece brake bleeder. When you were loosening what you thought was just the end, you were actually loosening the entire tube, which fell off and into the bell housing.
Don't worry, you aren't the first person to do this.
Good luck fishing... When trying to reinstall it you could try tying a thin string to it so that if you drop it again you can pull it right back out.
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
Thank you all for not laughing me off the forum, and thanks for saying I'm not the first to do this!
Maybe I should just take it as a powerful sign, and go for the remote setup (the 36" monster, I guess), even though I'll need my friendly (and quite nearby) dealer to help. Not quite up to backing out the trans in the home shop. Add to that the embarrassment of getting towed. And then explaining this all to the lady...
Heavymetals - on the "fishing", I guess I'm still confused. I can imagine getting a small magnet on a string up there and into the hole, but when you say "telescoping wand" you need access from the top. How can you get that access with it in the car?
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
Stick the magnet on a wire snake or a piece of wire you can easily bend to change angles.
A piece of string may work if you happen to "catch it".

I was trying to bleed my clutch once and dropped a socket in. I managed to get it out with a magnet taped to a coat hanger that I bent into a quarter circle shape. One tip is to not try and snake it from the opening where the bleeder is. There's another opening that I think was about halfway down the side from there, and it gave much easier access.

Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
Ouch! A little late but a short (3-4") 8mm box wrench and some 1/4" rubber tubing works great for bleeding with the stock bleeder. It's a little had to do your first time but not that bad.
The bleeder will fall out of the threads after only about 1 full turn.

Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
I just bled mine also, and I used a gearwrench http://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/wr...heting/spline/ and it worked just great. I did notice the whole thing was a bit loose and thought about it dropping in but thought naw they wouldn't design something like that would they? So don't feel to bad it's just luck that it doesn't happen to more of us.
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
To wrap this up:
I actually, incredibly, managed to fish the bleeder out of the lower hole! The Advance auto tool is kind of useless, but the Autozone tool is terrific, I'll advise anybody to pick one up for when you WILL need it, and it's less than ten bucks:
Light at the end (not helpful this time), but the magnet is shielded so things will ONLY stick to the end, not the sizes, and very flexible and controllable.
So then I secured a socket onto the bleeder and a string, just in case. And then determined that it is just freaking impossible to feed that bleeder back into the top hole in the car, just not enough space to feed it in there.
So I got the great idea to feed a string (actually a safety wire) into that nice middle hole and out of the top hole so I could pull it though that way. Fed it in - and found that the safety wire had invisibly come out of a tiny additional hole above the top hole, and I was screwed all over again.
Sigh. (Not the word or words I used when I realized this had happened.)
My GM service manager Brad is a great guy, he'll put the Monster remote bleeder in as soon as it shows up and I get the V towed up there, and we had a nice time talking big blocks for awhile. My lady is OK, she didn't laugh at me or anything.

Sounds like two steps back for every one forward.
Welcome to MOD HELL
Re: HELP! HELP! Clutch bleeder fell in??
This is how I maintain my clutches (in the V and Z06); remove reservoir lid, suck out all old black fluid (the black in the fluid is clutch dust by the way), add new DOT 4, put the lid back on the reservoir, pump the clutch about 25 times (this recirculates the fluid). Repeat the above steps until the fluid is clear.

Montana Avenue (www.montanaave.com) is where affluent Santa Monica mothers—and increasingly, visitors—shop for themselves, their children, and their dogs. Boutiques have an airy, privileged bohemian vibe. Begin at the east end: The south side of Montana just west of 16th St. (1) Moondance Jewelry Gala (1530 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 395 5516; www.moondancejewelry.com) is a jewelry boutique that carries an impressive range of designer collections (not goods, but entire collections), with mother-daughter prices from $20 to over $1,000 (mom can stock up on serious jewelry, and her little girl can leave with something, too). Find rare, flawless stones, souvenirs, even jewelry trends (moonstone, turquoise, rose gold), and salespeople who are themselves budding designers.
Next door, to the left, is (2) Aura (1528 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 451 0181; www.aura-boutique.com), a spacious (1,500 square feet) store that personifies the uniqueness of Montana Ave. The boutique belongs to Kristin Tutor Eberts, a former set and costume designer. Her tastes run to formal gowns, like a beaded pale-blue Zac Posen dress that Sienna Miller wore to the Golden Globes, vintage scarves doubling as beach halters by Karen Zambos, and pricey, well-made jeans.
Traveling farther west, be sure to stop into (3) Kiehl's (1516 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 255 0055). Even if you're familiar with the old-fashioned drugstore-like ambience of this hair and skincare store from New York, you'll be impressed with the loft-like touches and extraordinary helpfulness of this L.A. outlet. Cross 15th Street and stop at (4) LF (1426 Montana Ave.; tel. + 1 310 458 2626; www.lfstores.com), crammed with pricey but unusual British fashions.
Walk a block to the (5) Aero Theater (1328 Montana Ave.), a working 1940s movie theater with a uniquely L.A. angle: showings of often old, sometimes rare films, followed by a Q&A with their makers. You can check the schedule and return for a later show.
Across the street, you'll find (6) Hey Kookla (1329 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 899 9499), which 20-something owner Alex Winston has stocked with tiny crystal necklaces (Adore by Natalie), ornate vegan handbags (Amy Kathryn), handpainted and handsewn "surfer chic" beachwear in soft prints (Aviator Nation)—all from local designers.
A few doors down, on the north side, you'll see (7) Every Picture Tells A Story (1311 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 451 2700; www.everypicture.com), a whimsical shop dedicated solely to children's story and picture books. If you're with kids, check the schedule for wonderfully animated readings.
Traveling farther west, cross the street to (8) Jeany (1302 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 255 0808), which expresses the Los Angeles obsession with jeans. You can find them in all colors (well, at least blue and white), cuts, and shapes, and the shop can further tailor the fit or embellish as you wish.
Continue west and cross Euclid (13th) St. to (9) Lucy (1230 Montana Ave.; tel. + 1 310 255 9994; www.lucy.com), stocking stylish active wear. The sock collection alone is marvelous. Across the street, the comfort vibe persists, with (10) Cozzi Cozzi (1231 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 260 5527), a tiny shop with a few rows of comfortable women's loungewear and beachwear.
Two blocks west, conclude your tour at (11) Father's Office (1018 Montana Ave.; tel. +1 310 393 2337), an upscale pub known for its blue-cheese-stuffed burgers, crisp herb-sprinkled sweet potato fries, friendly clientele, and 37 beers on a magnificent walled tap. Tip: Don't bother to line up where everyone else is; you can go directly to the bar and order your food and drink. Also go early (5 p.m.), or expect queues outside.
