Hundreds of relatives, friends and teammates wept together and hugged Saturday in Boston at the funeral of a semi-pro football player whose killing led to murder and weapons charges against former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez.
The body of Odin Lloyd was found June 17 near Hernandez's home. Police arrested Hernandez on Wednesday and charged him with orchestrating the execution-style shooting.
Lloyd played for the Boston Bandits and was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. Members of Lloyd's team showed up for the funeral in their uniforms and chanted his name as pallbearers placed his casket in a hearse outside Church of the Holy Spirit in Boston's Mattapan neighborhood. The crowd of mourners was so large that some could not find room inside the church for the two-hour service.
Hernandez has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail. Two other men are also in custody. Prosecutors say the three were in a car with Lloyd shortly before his death.
Authorities have said trouble that led to Lloyd's killing happened June 14, when Lloyd went with Hernandez to a Boston nightclub. Hernandez became upset when Lloyd began talking with people Hernandez apparently didn't like, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said an ammunition clip found in Hernandez's Hummer matched the caliber of casings found at the scene of Lloyd's killing.
Colts safety jailed
Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged was arrested early Saturday in Washington after officers found a semi-automatic pistol in the car he was riding in, police said.
Lefeged was a front-seat passenger in a Chevy Camaro that fled a traffic stop for speeding in northeast Washington just after midnight. Officers smelled marijuana in the car and found a plastic bottle of vodka and orange juice in the center console and a semi-automatic pistol under the front passenger seat, police documents show. A receipt and purchase paperwork showed Lefeged bought the gun this year for about $900, police said.
Lefeged and another passenger were caught when they tried to run from the car in different directions, police said. The driver ran away and was not immediately caught.
Lefeged was being held without bond at D.C. jail on a weapon charge.

I know this has been discussed somewhat before, but has anyone actually seen one of these costumes yet? They're supposed to be ready by the end of Sept.
The helmet looks to be an MR, used for the promo pic, which would seem to be false advertising if that's the case. Everything looks pretty so-so, but hey, check out the jetpack. Pic is really small, but I'd love to know what the quality is going to be like on that.
So has anyone seen one of these in person at a trade show or anything yet?

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Still happening. It is definitely much worse when it is hotter outside. It has not been nearly as bad in the winter with resetting. Going to take it to the mechanic in the next couple of days if I can't figure it out.
Not that hard :P
there are 2 ways, some remove a few things and pull out the top..
other way is out the bottom is you disconnect the lower bone mount on tranny and pry motor to front and slip out the alternator.. I used the top :D
|I checked all the connections, put dielectric grease on the two alternator plugs, and the same thing is happening. It seems to be directly related to the outside temperature. On a hot day with the sun out, the radio turns off, goes a few minutes, turns back on for 20 seconds, turns off, and repeats this cycle the whole drive home from school. At night or on a cool day, such as the one we had yesterday in Chicago (65 and rainy), the radio stayed on almost the whole way home. It doesn't matter if I have the A/C going or not.
Alternator replacement on this car with a zetec is a PITA. I have an 01 SE. If I can remember correctly you have to do the following.
Move the engine coolant resivoir. I disconnected the bolts and clip(towards the back of the engine bay) and moved it to the front.
Move the Power Steering Fluid reservoir. This just lifts up and pulls out. The three rubber grommets keep it in place.
Next you have to move the wires and fuel rail supply. The fuel rail supply uses a special tool. However, if you use some intuition you can use a pop bottle cork.
Now, once everything is disconnected you can push the engine as forward as it will go. The service guide says to drop the alternator down through the bottom, but if you position it correctly you can get it in from the top. Dropping it down is easier when taking it out.
I would make sure that it is your alternator and nothing something else in the charging circuit. I believe my voltage regulator or something else is dead/on the way out. If you know someone at a professional shop they can test it for you. If not you can pay to get them tested.
Alternator change-outs aren't easy in this vehicle. I wrote a How-To on how to do it with a manual transmission. I'm not sure if AT's are easier or harder. Keep that in mind before you do it. I have also frequently recommended that anyone needing an alternator locate a local rebuilder for both price and reliability. These are available for starter and alternator repair nearly everywhere, and it's who most local shops use- then charge you new dealer retail. Local shops have warranties, but will be more likely to use better parts because warranty repairs will cause them problems that big chains don't bother with. The big chains use cheap parts to keep the individual price down to the point where they can feed you 4+ alternators before they start losing money. They really don't care if you have to swap out your alternator every 3 months. Ok, enough about that.
First things first- I didn't read where you checked your battery terminals. Yes, a loose or corroded condition at the battery terminals will do this. The alternator needs power in order to make power. That's what the "field" wire on the 3 wire plug-in is for. There are several ways to clean off corrosion. Some people use a little baking soda and water. Some people just scrape and wipe it off with a rag, then wash with water, or vacuum the dust up. Be sure to remove all the corrosion from the terminals themselves- you can buy a simple terminal cleaner from the parts store for $1, or wire brush, or light scraping with a knife. I always recommend an old trick when re-installing terminals- put grease on them. This prevents future corrosion. Any grease will do. I just use leftover wheel bearing/axle grease. All petroleum greases are non-conductive.
Also check the negative battery connections- especially the big one that bolts to the engine/transaxle bolt. Make sure it is tight, and there is no fraying of the wires going into the wire's terminals. I would also check the 2 small wires, and there is a wire that goes into a black box on the front of the engine (pass side vehicle), and then that wire comes out and grounds to the strut tower. Carefully inspect this box and make sure the wire is not frayed or the insulation is not cracked where it connects. If it is, get a replacement from the dealer. That one can pop your ECU fuse if it grounds out on the power input side.
Now the alternator. There is a big bolted wire to the alternator, and the plug-in wires. Earlier Zetec equipped cars had problems with the insulation wearing off, and tiny wires going to the alternator plug-in connector. I do not know of such an issue with the Duratec engines like you have, but if you've not found anything else- check it out. Also check to see how secure the bolted hot is to the alternator. Before you put a wrench or socket on that one- make sure you've disconnected the neg from the battery. If you haven't found any problems here, then something somewhere is going to have to be replaced.
A bad battery can do all of this. If you smell rotten eggs near the battery- remove and replace battery immediately. How old is the battery? If it's very old, that is likely to be the problem. Batteries that simply go their lifetime will hold good voltage, but not maintain that voltage under load. Like I wrote before, if the battery output goes down, the alternator output will go down also. Even new batteries can have a similar problem that causes the same issue, so have the battery load tested before you go through the trouble of replacing an alternator.
Finally, it could be that the alternator is bad- bad brushes- but there is still some contact being made there. Intermittent voltage from an alternator is not uncommon just before it stops producing power. Like I wrote, I'd research how to remove the alternator, and then check everything until the only conclusion is that the alternator needs a rebuild. Mine was rebuilt at 130k and 6 years.
|If you have a hatchback, check the wiring harness go into the hatch. These are known to cause some weird problems. IIRC someone had a similar problem with charging and repaired wiring and it solved his problem.
|Check the wiring going to your Alternator first before you decide to replace it. Something intermittent like that sounds like a wire is shorting out.
|Alternator output was 12.7 volts when the levels were dropping, and raised to 13.8 volts when it seemed to kick back on and started to recharge the battery. I think what is happening is the alternator is letting the battery drop to too low of a level before kicking on and recharging. I'm beginning to think the alternator needs replacing. The car is nearing 90K and I believe it is the original alternator.
|I eliminated a possible cause in the fact that I spliced connectors into the brake lights to wire in a trailer harness by disconnecting the connections in the trunk that go to all of the brake lights and such. The radio still shut off after a few minutes.

Police say?man robbed?store armed?with syringe
Shortly after 8 p.m., Londonderry police received a 911 call from a clerk at the Route 102 Gas & Service station reporting the store had just been robbed, according to Lt. Tim Jones.
Derry police and several state police troopers along with several K-9 units began searching the area for the man, described as white, between 5 feet 10 inches and 6 feet tall, with a medium build and scruffy beard. Witness reports said the robber, who appeared to be wearing a green hat and a blue hooded sweatshirt, fled behind the store and was last seen running toward Ela Avenue.
The pursuit led Londonderry K-9 officer John Perry and his dog, Mingo, on a trail down Ela Avenue, where each yard was searched. A resident reported an unsecured bulkhead door at one of the neighborhood homes, but a search of the property revealed no sign of the man.
Jones said the incident remains under investigation.

Sounds like a great day. Lucky puppy!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
A pooped Puppy!
Toda my husband asked me to go to his work with him (he's the general supervisor and has been working on projects on organization). I knew what the place looked like prior to his organization so I agreed. I asked him if anyone would be there and he stated no. I asked him if I could take our puppy. The look was priceless. He looked at me like I needed to get a life but I thought of it as opportunity. A place no other dogs have been to my knowledge with a wide open area to walk seemed like a fantastic idea. Well, he agreed.
So off we go to his work, we walk in and Geist is being a good boy. I'm walking with him like I just won the lottery and looking at my husband like "see I told you it's a good idea". We are walking and my husband sees something he wants to move. I tell him to give it a couple minutes so I can walk a bit away from the forklift because I don't want Geist to get scared. So we walk away, Hubby moves what he wanted to move, and hubby is still on the forklift and we walk a little closer to it. I'm watching Geist's reaction to the noisy thing. Closer and closer we get and he looks more curious and we continue to get closer. We are standing right next to it and the pup seems fine. I was one happy girl! We continue to walk around, I have treats and see pallets, I walk over the pallets, the pup follows me, I walk over collapsible containers and the pup follows. He's just watching me, copying what I do.
I can see my husband a good 100 yards away and I ask him if he has the treats I gave him and he says yes. I tell him, call him to you and give him a treat. Husband calls him, Geist runs over to him. I call him back, Geist comes running. Back and forth, back and forth. I tell husband to start the forklift up and then lets try it again. He goes to him. YAY!
We got home and Geist got a bath & passed out for a few hours. Such a good boy.

It's been almost a year since his sudden death, but now James Gandolfini's final film, "The Drop" debuted a trailer.
In the crime drama directed by Michael R. Roskam, the story follows a lost pit bull, a wannabe scam artist, and a killing.
Enjoying some time abroad, Noomi Rapace and Marion Cotillard showed up at the premiere of "Waltz With Monica" at the 13th Marrakech International Film Festival last night (December 4).
The "Dark Knight Rises" dame stunned the spectators with her orange and black striped dress as she made her way around the arrivals area.
Building the hype ahead of the August 30th theatrical release, "Passion" has just dropped an intense teaser trailer.
The forthcoming flick stars Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, and Paul Anderson under the writing and direction of the legendary Brian DePalma.
With its release date just a couple months away, a new trailer for the crime drama "Passion" was released on Saturday (June 29).
Starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace, the film is officially described as follows: The rivalry between the manipulative boss of an advertising agency and her talented protégée escalates from stealing credit to public humiliation to murder.
Whetting fans appetites for the spring release, the first trailer for "Dead Man Down" was released on Saturday (December 29).
The thriller follows a crime lord's right-hand man in New York City, who is seduced by one of his boss's victims, a woman seeking retribution.
The Saatchi Gallery in London, England was brimming over with beautiful people when the Chanel: The Little Black Jacket event took over last night (October 11).
Chloe Moretz showed up at the private fete, looking amazing in a Chanel jacket top, handbag, and shoes paired with her own leather trousers.
Adding to the pool of sexually-charged drama, Brian De Palma has unveiled the teaser trailer for his forthcoming film "Passion."
Starring Rachel McAdams, Noomi Rapace, Paul Anderson and Karoline Herfurth, the movie is about a young businesswoman who plots murderous revenge after her boss and mentor steals her idea.
After constant promotions for their newest film, the stars of "The Dark Knight Rises" were spotted having some fun at an after-party in London, England on Wednesday night (July 18).

The department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is a national leader in the movement to systematically improve patient safety and health care quality. In 2007, the department was the proud recipient of the prestigious John M. Eisenberg Award for Patient Safety and Quality from the Joint Commission. The award recognizes the department's leadership and dedication to improving the quality of health care and patient safety through innovation. In addition to this award, Blue Cross Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (BCBSMA) awarded the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology as the first recipient of its Health Care Excellence Award in 2007. The award, which carries a $100,000 prize, was created to recognize exceptional achievement in improving the safety and effectiveness of health care in Massachusetts.
Both awards recognize the groundbreaking approach to reducing medical errors in the BIDMC Obstetrics unit, an initiative which was launched following a tragic case in 2000 in which a series of errors resulted in the loss of a patient's baby. Following this case, Beth Israel Deaconess's Obstetrics unit began working with the Department of Defense and Harvard's Risk Management Foundation to apply the principles of Crew Resource Management, used to prevent errors in the military and in commercial aviation, to the field of obstetrics. It was the first obstetrics unit and one of the first health care operations in the country to adopt such an approach. The Obstetrics Department also made major changes in the way it monitored patients. Previously, when doctors and nurses ended their day they provided updates only on the patients under their care to the next shift. Now, the entire obstetrics staff is knowledgeable about all patients. Because there are no accepted, clinically relevant outcomes in obstetrics, the department also developed an Adverse Outcomes Index, a measurement tool to evaluate obstetrical care.
Today, Beth Israel Deaconess has the lowest adverse event score of any comparable tertiary hospital reporting to the National Perinatal Information Center, a nonprofit organization that collects national data. As a direct result of the obstetrics unit's work, there are now statewide initiatives in Massachusetts, Maryland, and the District of Columbia to introduce obstetrical team training. The model is replicable and widely adaptable for other health care organizations. Dr. Sachs and a team of researchers and clinicians are leading the national movement for patient safety, speaking at national meetings in order to bring our brand of safety to the national forefront.

ClearAll ?? or what
Is there a command that will remove all variables, custom functions,
equations and so on?
I have tried every one that I can find including ClearAll [ " Global ' * "
], and so on.
When I bring up the text book that I writing, I always end up with problems
because I forgot to clear something out. My book is interactive. It would
be nice to have a command that would clear everything out when I bring up my
book each time. There use to be a command in Fortran that did this, but I
cannot find one in Mathematica.
I do have Dynamic Evaluation tuned off.

Wayne Law, Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights to combat 'hate' incidents through Michigan Allies Project
DETROIT (April 4, 2011) – Wayne State University Law School and its Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights are pleased to announce the creation of the Michigan Allies Project. The project will collect data and report on "hate" incidents in Michigan that target individuals based on their race, religion, gender, disability or sexual orientation. Incidents will be displayed by location via a map of the state at alliesproject.law.wayne.edu.
|Professor Jocelyn Benson
Jocelyn Benson, Wayne Law professor and associate director of the Keith Center, has spearheaded the effort.
"The project aims to raise awareness about bias incidents that negatively target Michigan residents based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability or religion, particularly in the educational setting," said Benson, who also serves as the founder and CEO of the Michigan Center for Election Law and ran as the 2010 Democratic nominee for Michigan secretary of state. "Our true Michigan spirit of working to overcome obstacles is threatened when we have bullying in our schools or intimidation in our neighborhoods. The Allies Project will create a network of 'allies' in Michigan – citizens, scholars, students, educators, non-profit organizations, law enforcement officials and others, to collectively provide resources and support to those negatively affected by bias incidents in Michigan."
According to Benson, once fully developed the project will employ a three-pronged strategy for addressing hate incidents in Michigan: (1) Tracking and reporting hate incidents and the activities of hate groups in Michigan; (2) launching innovative lawsuits and other forms of advocacy to seek justice for victims of bigotry and discrimination; (3) providing media, scholars, educators, non-profit organizations and law enforcement agents with resources and support to aid broader communities and individuals who are affected or targeted by hate incidents or groups.
Wayne Law students will track incidents and develop the project's monthly reports to the legal community.
"The Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights aspires to be a hub for projects that develop creative methods to further the ongoing pursuit of equal justice under the law," said Peter Hammer, Wayne Law professor and Keith Center director. "The Michigan Allies Project is yet another opportunity for students to work with faculty and community members to raise awareness about important civil rights issues and advance new strategies to address them. I commend Professor Benson and look forward to the project's growth and development in the years ahead."
Melanie McElroy serves as deputy director of the Allies Project, which is supported by an advisory board made up of notable area attorneys, state representatives, and civil rights and non-profit organization leaders.
For more information or to get involved with the project, visit alliesproject.law.wayne.edu or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tuesday 28th February 2012
Everyone with a birthday that falls in the football season will have lots of memories surrounding the games that tie in with that date. Two League Cup Final defeats, a 6-1 defeat at Old Trafford and the horrible injury to Eduardo personally spring to mind on the negative side. After an extremely entertaining weekend celebrating reaching the age of 42 however, Sunday's offering was very much the cherry on top of the cake!
We are all big enough to admit this hasn't been our greatest season and if we believe what the media keep telling us, this is our nearest geographical rival's best since the days of black and white telly. For these reasons alone, Sunday and the last couple of days have been extremely enjoyable for us Gooners.
The ten days building up to it of course, could not have been worse.
The trip to Milan proved marvellously entertaining off the pitch but couldn't have been further from that in our first leg. Two of our greatest ever memories following our team come from matches in the vast San Siro, our disappointing 4-0 defeat joins them for all the wrong reasons.
Don't get me wrong here as we were well beaten on the night but luck certainly wasn't on our side either. RVP saw a fine volley well saved in the second period and a good headed chance went begging too. While Milan benefited from a 'soft' penalty decision, we were unlucky not to see one awarded in our favour.
All in all it leaves us with a mountain to climb if we are to progress.
Sunderland to Sunderland via Milan is not only an illogical journey but the kind that only football seems to necessitate. Of course the cheaper prices helped for our FA Cup tie but he number of travelling Gooners present at the Stadium of Light was absolutely magnificent.
The type of football we play is very much suited to a good surface. We all know that. I mentioned the condition of our hosts' pitch in my thoughts about our league win and seeing it again before the cup tie didn't fill me with confidence. Whatever the level of football a bumpy surface is a great 'leveller'.
Both goals were unfortunate and the 2-0 defeat brought our FA Cup bid to an abrupt end. A night out on Wearside drowning our sorrows seemed the only way to deal with it as our thoughts turned to derby day one week later.
Home fixtures, whoever we are playing, see me head to London N5 confident of victory. Our home record down the years suggests there is no reason to feel otherwise. On Sunday however, especially given our previous two results, you could definitely feel the sense of trepidation in the streets. Deep down I think we all knew another defeat, especially given the opposition, would be very difficult to take.
From minute one I felt we looked sharp, confident and well and truly up for it. Worryingly stretched at the back at times in the early stages I still think both goals were a tad fortunate. With two defenders looking to block the first it was a case of deja vu from Sunderland as the first looped up into the empty net.
A goal so early gives plenty of time to recover and once again we poured forward, so the second came as a mighty blow.
I sit in the North East corner of the stadium so had a pefect view of the penalty incident in 'real time'. I know the referee and his assistants are wired up these days so can speak to one another without the need to meet. For this reason alone I cannot understand why the penalty was given. Both officials must have been 100 per cent sure a foul was committed. Yet in 'real time' it was obvious to all in that corner of the pitch that Chezz pulled his hands away and did not touch the attacking player.
The fact that we didn't crumble in that situation cannot be under-estimated. Once again we poured forward, and this time we were rewarded, when Bac thumped home a header to give us a lifeline we more than deserved.
Shortly after and our stadium was absolutely rocking, RVP's magnificent control and turn only matched by the quality of his strike. We went into the half-time break with our chests puffed out and with fire in our bellies.
Our work rate and desire had been first class and I include Theo in that, despite what has been reported. Very little came off for him in the first period but nobody could fault his work rate. We genuinely had a conversation at half time about whether it would be better for him to come off. For me however, if he kept up his work ethic in the second period, there was every chance the more potent side to his game would shine through. Easy to say now with the benefit of hindsight of course but I genuinely thought and expressed that at the break.
Despite our shaky start, nobody could be faulted on Sunday, especially in the second period. There was no-one better than Super Tom Rosicky and his goal was not only thoroughly deserved but the noise that met it nearly lifted the roof from the stadium.
In fact the singing and colour once Theo had buried two more was arguably the first sign that our 'new' stadium is finally becoming our new 'home'. Talk about making the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end! It was simply magnificent.
Scoring five against Tottenham doesn't happen very often in league football. Doing it from two down against a team enjoying their best season in my living memory made it an incredibly satisfying day. And on my birthday weekend too ;-)
Anfield next then as the tough games come thick and fast.
For now however, if it's alright with you, I'll enjoy Sunday's post-match fall-out just a little bit longer.
DVD anyone?

Take an adventure holiday in BRAZIL with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world, comprising the majority of the South American land mass and borders every South America country except Ecuador and Chile. Everything about Brazil is diverse and colourful, from the vast and wildlife rich Amazon, to the beautiful people and festivals of Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Brazil is classified as the sixth most populated nation, with the majority of its population live along the busy coastal areas of the north and southeastern states including Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo as well as the capital Brasília.
Brazil is split into four geographical areas, including:
- The northern region of Brazil consumes almost half of all Brazil's territory and is almost entirely covered by the broad expanse of the Amazon Rain Forest. A rich folklore tradition can be found here that mixes the history and beliefs of colonizers and slaves.
- The Southeast Region is the main gateway to Brazil. It is site of the two largest cities in the country - Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
- A strong European influence can be felt in the southern regions as a result a wave of immigration in the 19th century that brought many Germans, Italians, Poles, forming a very unique culture.
- The Central West Region is a veritable ecological sanctuary with the largest variety of birds in the world. Also to be found here are jaguars, alligators and tapirs and peccaries.

Greek food is a go-to for its bright flavors and healthy cooking techniques. You'll love being able to make these traditional favorites at home.
Greek SaladIn Greece, a version of this refreshing salad accompanies virtually every meal. Unlike most American salads, this calls for no lettuce, just chunks of tomato, cucumber, and onion tossed in a light lemon vinaigrette.
Egg, Lemon, and Rice Soup (Avgolemono Soupa)If you hesitate ordering this soup at restaurants for fear of butchering the pronunciation, just break it down: Greek for egg is "avgo" and lemon is "lemono." Avgolemono's real secret, however, is that the creamy soup is a snap to make at home–it uses only 5 ingredients, all of which are pantry staples.
Meat, Bulgur, and Rice DolmadesA moist, beefy filling perfumed with the subtle aroma of fennel makes these leaf-wrapped appetizers a welcome addition to any mezze table. And making the sauce couldn't be easier: after simmering the little packages in broth, simply thicken the remaining liquid with a bit of cornstarch.
Greens-and-Cheese Pie (Hortopita)Most of us know and love spanakopita, the popular spinach-and-feta pie. But one bite of hortopita, its sassier cousin, and you're sure to be a convert. Made with a tasty mix of greens and herbs ("horto" simply means "greens" in Greek), it's a deliciously rustic twist on a classic.
Chicken SouvlakiOne of the most appealing aspects of Greek cuisine is the simplicity of its ingredients. For instance, kitchen staples like lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and oregano give ordinary chicken skewers a kick of flavor. Served with tzatziki, a cooling sauce made from yogurt and shredded cucumber, this makes for a quick Greek feast.
Grilled Flank Steak GyrosDon't feel like a sandwich? Serve the steak topped with the cucumber sauce and the vegetables as a side salad. Cut the flatbread into triangles, and toast until crisp.
Aegean Lamb with OrzoTraditionally prepared in an earthenware pot called a "youvetsi," this dish of slow-cooked lamb is a warming supper that couldn't be simpler. Start the lamb in a slow cooker, then leave it to simmer all day. When ready to eat, just combine feta and cooked orzo, a small grain-shaped pasta, with the juicy, fork-tender lamb.
Greek-style Lemon PotatoesPotatoes baked with lemon and olive oil are an irresistible side dish. In this recipe, go ahead and gild the lily with the addition of feta: it adds a delightful richness and tang.
Baklava with Wildflower HoneyMany baklava recipes call for just one or two nuts in the filling, but the combination of pistachios, walnuts, and almonds sends this dessert over the top. And although it looks impossibly fancy, working with phyllo is a breeze when using this clever technique: instead of brushing each layer with melted butter, simply coat them with cooking spray.
Greek-Style Yogurt with Honey and WalnutsYou'll be stunned at what an impact four ingredients can make. Splurge on a lush Greek-style yogurt for this blessedly simple dessert and savor the contrast between the tart yogurt and caramel-like sweetness of honey.
More Greek FavoritesThere are many other Greek classics to enjoy, from creamy moussaka to homemade pita bread.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
If you read What is a Microbe, you came across an illustration of microbial size that compared different microbes to common features of a baseball park. Such comparisons can help you put into perspective how small microbes are compared to, say, a human cell using objects whose size is more familiar to you. That's what this activity is all about. You'll compare the sizes of different microbes to the size of a very familiar item—a human hair.
Note: This activity will take about 1 hour.
Note: If you do this activity in a parking lot, choose a day when that lot is not being used. You should definitely have at least one friend with you if not a parent or other adult. At least one person should keep a lookout for approaching cars at all times. Just be careful!
1. Examine your single hair both with and without the magnifying glass. Note how thin it is if you hold it at one end and look down at the tip. Depending on how thick your hair is, you may just barely be able to see it without the magnifying glass. The average human hair is 0.1 millimeters wide, or one-tenth of one millimeter wide. That's pretty tiny.
2. In your open space, use your meter stick to measure out an area that is 10 meters long. Mark off this 10-meter area with your chalk, string or tape, whatever works best for your chosen space. This 10-meter area will represent the width of your hair, that tiny width that you were barely able to see without a magnifying glass.
3. Choose one of the microbes from the first column of the Microbe Reference Chart. Think about how its size might compare to the width of your hair. Using the model size listed in column 4 of the Chart and your meter stick to measure, draw a picture of this microbe (or mark off its length and width with string or tape) somewhere beside the 10-meter area you already marked off. Once again, hold up your hair and see how tiny its width is and compare the actual size of the hair with the actual size (column 2) of the microbe.
4. Repeat step 3 with additional microbes listed in the Reference Chart. You can do as many as you like. Use different colored chalk, tape or string for each microbe so you can remember which markings refer to which microbe.
5. When you're finished drawing as many microbes as you'd like, compare the sizes and shapes of the microbes you've drawn. You have just created a reference model for microbial size.
6. Clean up your remaining pieces of chalk and remove tape or string when you're done.
This experiment is based on an activity developed by the National Association of Biology Teachers.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Also keep in mind, there is no perfectly round cylinder. Even when a engine is honed with a head plate installed althought it does get it close. For a cylinder to be perfectly round there needs to be a even amount of metal around the cylinder, and in every small block that rolled off the line, none of them are, they will always be thicker or thinner on one side or the other due to core shift and the like. So when the engine is run and gets up to temp the cylinder is out of round, although like I said, it`s close. Some builders heat the block while honing the block with the head plate to simulate running conditions, and this will get it even closer. There has to be thousands of small blocks out there with out of round cylinders that were just honed with a hand hone. As long as the engine doesn`t have a excessive amount of blow by, I wouldn`t worry about it.
Tom, I'm pretty sure that the previous owner means simply that the cylinders are "out of round." There's a few reasons for this, but it means that the cylinders are not perfectly round, so the rings will not seal well, and will do things like burn oil, leak down during the compression stroke, and so forth.
It may not have been properly bored, or the boring was done badly, or it could have warped over time due to something like overheating.
There's no solution other than reboring the engine. The block can be saved if there's enough thickness in the cylinder walls to accomodate a re-boring from a machine shop. If it's a 350 block bored out to 355, then there should be plenty of thickness. What you have to do to correct this is rebuild the engine, and be sure to have it sonic tested to see the thickness of the cylinder walls. If they are thick enough, you can rebore, but if not, then you know you need another block.
If there's no problem with the way the engine runs, or if the problems aren't bad enough to make you want to rebuild the engine, then your engine is fine for right now. No smoke, no noise, no loss of power, then in all no real problem. There's probably a lot of "egg-shaped" cylinders out there that people may not know they have. Again, the "egg-shaped" condition just means that the cylinders aren't as round as they could be. Keep in mind that things won't get better though, only worsen over time.
chevy 355 ( egg shaped )
Help,I bought a chevy s-10,with a 355 down in it.It's a strong engine,doesnt smoke and there's no noise in the motor,The guy I bought it off from told a freind of mine that the cyclinders are egg shaped.My questions are is this possible and how does egg shaing of cyclinders happen and can this be fixed or do I need a new motor?
Thanks Tom

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > CID Speaker Series: Agricultural Microinsurance: Building the Resilience of Smallholder Farmers to Climate Change through Hol
For the 1.3 billion people living on less than a dollar a day who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods, climate-related shocks are a constant threat to their food security and well-being. As climate change brings an increase in the frequency and intensity of droughts and storms, the challenges faced by food-insecure communities will also increase. The question of how to help rural families smooth their incomes and build resilience against climate-related risk is critical for addressing global poverty. In response to this challenge, Oxfam America and the UNWorld Food Programme have launched the R4 Rural Resilience Initiative. R4 refers to the four risk management strategies the initiative integrates: agricultural microinsurance, formal microfinance, opportunities to save, and environmental projects that strengthen the adaptability of land. Together these components are an innovate mechanism that has increased farmers' investment in their land and small businesses, encouraged diversification of income generating opportunities, increased agricultural yields, and increased smart risk-taking. Through partnerships with dozens of public and private sector implementing partners, insurance companies, and global re-insurers, R4 has now reached over 20,000 farmers in two countries. Katie Naeve (MPP 2012), Policy Advisor for R4, will describe how R4 (specifically microinsurance) works, its success to date, and the role of the private sector in designing innovative solutions for the poor.

Hey All,
I just came into ownership of a very high quality Fett Flak Vest, and I was wondering what the best way to attach armor to it would be...
Previously I used bolts and grommets method, but although it did the job the grommets weren't attached very well and I effectively ruined the flak vest :( which I do NOT want to happen this time :D
I've contemplated industrial strength velcro (but you'd have to sew it on to the vest yes?) as well as rare earth magnets attached to the inside of the vest and the armor plates... anyone have any easy/effective tips that keep the vest in relatively good shape? Links to threads on this topic would also be very much appreciated :D:D
Thanks guys!

Hi Lucy,
thank you so much for your help with the workshop. I'm writing again to ask you one more thing. I'm now looking for fun ways to introduce the creativity section. My purpose in this part is to illustrate to teachers the point that Creativity is not about new things, new ideas but about NEW CONNECTIONS, NEW COMBINATIONS. Can you think of any fun activities to do that? I have one but I'm afraid that some teachers may know that already, hence it will not be fun and surprising. That is to give teachers some words that dont seem to relate to one another in any ways, then ask them to relate them to make st that make sense.
I hope to get your reply soon. Thanks so much.

Wayne Law professor's book explores legal assistance for noncitizen crime victims
Wayne State University Law School Assistant Professor Rachel Settlage is co-author of a new book written to help those who work with noncitizen victims of crime.
Immigration Relief: Legal Assistance for Noncitizen Crime Victims, published recently by the American Bar Association, was written by Settlage and co-authors Elizabeth Campbell and Veronica Thronson. Settlage, who teaches Immigration and Nationality Law, directs the Wayne Law Asylum and Immigration Law Clinic. Campbell teaches in the Human Trafficking Clinic at the University of Michigan and Thronson directs the Immigration Law Clinic at Michigan State University.
"I approached them to write this book because we all have first-hand experience working with noncitizen clients who were the victims of crime in the United States and desperately needed help navigating the complexities of U.S. immigration law," Settlage said.
The book is intended to serve as an introduction to the range of immigration remedies available to vulnerable populations involved with law enforcement and the criminal justice system, states its introduction. It is a resource for attorneys, legal assistants, social workers, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges or anyone else who works with noncitizen victims of crime.
"New immigrants often are not aware of their rights to protection and assistance in this country," the book states. "Immigrants without lawful status face the credible fear that if they report a crime to law enforcement, they will be deported or the perpetrator will further harm them for reporting. Perpetrators are fully aware of this credible fear and exploit it to their advantage."
The book outlines relief options available for noncitizen victims of crimes including abuse, domestic violence, neglect, persecution and trafficking.
In addition to explaining the law, the book also offers:
- Definitions of key terms and concepts.
- Charts explaining the organization of the various agencies and departments involved in the adjudication of applications for immigration relief.
- Checklists to ensure that the final applications for relief are complete.
- Lists of additional resources for attorneys.
Before joining Wayne Law, Settlage of Grosse Pointe served as a clinical fellow with the University of Baltimore School of Law's Immigrant Rights Clinic. She also has practiced law at the Asylum Program of Southern Arizona; served as a senior researcher at the U.S. Department of State, Office of the Historian; and served as a foreign affairs officer/senior editor at the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
Settlage earned her law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, master's degree from Georgetown University and bachelor's degree from the University of California, Berkeley.

Portrait of Obama as a Kenyan Anti-Colonialist
posted at 5:18 pm on October 7, 2010 by Dafydd ab Hugh
This piece is a collaboration between Dafydd ab Hugh and Sachiko Yamada.
On September 18th, Forbes Magazine published a fascinating and very controversial article by Dinesh D'Souza: "Obama's Problem With Business." The subhead is a little more specific: "The President isn't exactly a socialist. So what's driving his hostility to private enterprise?"
The thesis — that President Barack H. Obama is not a socialist but an anti-colonialist — is startling; but the more one thinks about it, the more it seems to explain:
From a very young age and through his formative years Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction. He came to view America's military as an instrument of neocolonial occupation. He adopted his father's position that capitalism and free markets are code words for economic plunder. Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America. In his worldview, profits are a measure of how effectively you have ripped off the rest of society, and America's power in the world is a measure of how selfishly it consumes the globe's resources and how ruthlessly it bullies and dominates the rest of the planet.
For Obama, the solutions are simple. He must work to wring the neocolonialism out of America and the West. And here is where our anticolonial understanding of Obama really takes off, because it provides a vital key to explaining not only his major policy actions but also the little details that no other theory can adequately account for.
The White House tore into the D'Souzan article, but even more so into Forbes itself for daring to publish it, according to Howard Kurtz at the Washington Post (moving soon to the Daily Beast):
Dinesh D'Souza has drawn a torrent of criticism with a Forbes cover story that accuses President Obama of adopting "the cause of anti-colonialism" from his Kenyan father….
"It's a stunning thing, to see a publication you would see in a dentist's office, so lacking in truth and fact," White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says in an interview. "I think it represents a new low."
Gibbs is meeting with Thursday afternoon with Forbes's Washington bureau chief, Brian Wingfield, to discuss his objections. "Did they not fact-check this at all, or did they fact-check it and just willfully ignore it?" he asks.
To which Forbes had a canny response:
The magazine would not make Editor-in-Chief Steve Forbes, who ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1996 and 2000, available for comment, or any other editor. The biweekly did issue a statement: "Dinesh D'Souza's cover story was presented as an analysis of how the president thinks. No facts are in contention. Forbes stands by the story."
Kurtz turns smuggish by proxy, concluding his hit piece with this:
Columbia Journalism Review this week called the D'Souza article "a fact-twisting, error-laden piece of paranoia" and "the worst kind of smear journalism–a singularly disgusting work."
So there.
But Ryan Chittum's piece at the CJR, which includes the indictment that D'Souza's article is "fact-twisting" and "error-laden," astonishingly cites not a single factual error. Not one! The entire rant (it's too much an adolescent whine to qualify as analysis or even critique) is pure invective and remarkably fact free. Truly it must be read to be believed, though the reader may come away with a diminished respect for the Columbia Journalism Review, and indeed the entire Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. No, really.
The closest Chittum comes to finding error is this:
The atrociousness isn't limited to the smears. This, for instance, has to be one of the stupidest paragraphs ever written in Forbes (emphasis [Chittum's]):
The President's actions are so bizarre that they mystify his critics and supporters alike. Consider this headline from the Aug. 18, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal: "Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling." Did you read that correctly? You did. The Administration supports offshore drilling — but drilling off the shores of Brazil. With Obama's backing, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered $2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to finance exploration in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro — not so the oil ends up in the U.S. He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil.
Get that? The oil that Petrobras pumps will only go to Brazil because it's owned by Brazil. So Hugo Chavez will sell us his Citgo gas, but Lula won't? And even if it somehow did (it should be noted that Petrobras has an American affiliate), that would mean Brazil would need less oil from elsewhere, which means more for us. Supply and demand, dude. Oil is fungible. Gah.
Yes, we "got that": D'Souza concludes that Barack Obama supports Brazillian oil exploration: It's wonderfully anti-colonialist if third-world Brazil controls its own vital resources! But he opposes American oil exploration anywhere and everywhere in the United States (say — that's a fact!): American resource independence would be dreadful… the colonial American empire must be kept in continual check; and one way to do that is to drain our resources buying oil from our rivals (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) and our enemies (Iran, Venezuela).
One may disagree with the analysis, but the paragraph should be comprehensible.
With admirable economy of rhetoric, D'Souza chose not to belabor the point in Chittum-level words (as we were compelled to do above). Instead, D'Souza clung to the hope that readers would have a comprehension level somewhere north of high school.
In this assumption, D'Souza evidently erred; but then, perhaps his target audience was a skosh more elevated than the staff of the Columbia Journalism Review… say, at least the level of a legal secretary, or a sci-fi fan, or a pajama-clad blogger, any of whom should have had no difficulty parsing "one of the stupidest paragraphs ever written in Forbes."
Kathleen Parker, also at the Post is beside herself, melding the vitriol of Ann Coulter with the snidery of R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.; she is, if anything, even more fact-free (if one's factual content can possibly be less than zero):
Of course I knew it all along. President Obama is a Kenyan anti-colonialist and that's why he doesn't get us. He's a ticked-off African.
So goes the latest in Obama-theory, originated by the usually rational conservative thinker Dinesh D'Souza and endorsed by none other than Newt Gingrich, Republican anarchist and onetime speaker of the House of Representatives.
Cue soundtrack to "Twilight Zone." Or "Psycho." Or, I dunno, Tarzan summoning an elephant stampede to quash yet another pestilential imperial invasion.
Powerful stuff! Who could argue with any of it?
So, what does D'Souza actually say? He says Obama's anti-business domestic policy and anti-American foreign policy do not come from Marxism or even European style socialism. D'Souza writes, "The real problem with Obama is worse — much worse." The president's anti-Americanism comes from his deep-seated anti-colonialism, which he "inherited" (via "dreams") from his biological father. And who was Barack Obama, Sr.?
- A man who grew up in Kenya, studied at Harvard, had a family in Hawaii — then abandoned his wife and infant son Barry to return to Kenya.
- A polygamist and habitual drunkard who finally killed himself in a drunk-driving accident.
- A scholar and economist who in 1965 published an article in the East Africa Journal, "Problems Facing Our Socialism," on colonialism and its supposed continuing legacy.
What exactly is anticolonialism anyway? D'Souza explains:
Anticolonialism is the doctrine that rich countries of the West got rich by invading, occupying and looting poor countries of Asia, Africa and South America….
Anticolonialists hold that even when countries secure political independence they remain economically dependent on their former captors. This dependence is called neocolonialism, a term defined by the African statesman Kwame Nkrumah (1909–72) in his book Neocolonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism. Nkrumah, Ghana's first president, writes that poor countries may be nominally free, but they continue to be manipulated from abroad by powerful corporate and plutocratic elites. These forces of neocolonialism oppress not only Third World people but also citizens in their own countries. Obviously the solution is to overthrow the oppressors. This was the anticolonial ideology of Barack Obama Sr. and many in his generation, including many of my own relatives in India.
Is this truly what Obama believes? D'Souza lists some of the oddities of Obama; at first blush, they do seem only explicable as examples of anti-colonialism. And let's begin with Ryan Chittum's all-time favorite D'Souzan point:
- Obama applauds Brazillian domestic oil exploration but deplores American domestic oil exploration. D'Souza: "Why support oil drilling off the coast of Brazil but not in America? Obama believes that the West uses a disproportionate share of the world's energy resources, so he wants neocolonial America to have less and the former colonized countries to have more."
- Obama's "carbon tax" proposal is the same policy writ larger.
- He doesn't seek to nationalize the banks but to "decolonize" them — to bring them under government control. "Obama retains the right to refuse bailout paybacks [to] maintain his control."
- "For Obama, health insurance companies on their own are oppressive racketeers, but once they submitted to federal oversight he was happy to do business with them."
- Anti-colonialism also explains Obama's tax and spending policies: He is redistributing income — spreading the wealth around, as Obama himself put it — to return plundered loot to its rightful owners.
- He applauds the "Ground Zero Mosque" because (a) the 9/11 attacks were the catalyst that "unleashed the American bogey and pushed us into Iraq and Afghanistan," and (b) because he believes that some radical Islamists and terrorists are simply resisting American imperialism. (Oddly, a number of American libertarians suffer from this same delusion, which may explain why so many of them voted for Obama in 2008.)
- And of course, the rest of Barack Obama's foreign policy and national-security strategy seems tailor-made to deplete American independence and shatter our superpower status in favor of a powerful, international body run primarily by third-world countries — a body that would have actual sovereign power over the United States, Europe, and other colonial oppressors.
None of this makes any sense, D'Souza argues, unless Obama believes as his father believed:
As [Barack Obama, Sr.] put it, "We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now."
One might object that Obama couldn't possibly believe America, of all countries, was a "colonial power": We've never invaded other nations for the purpose of incorporating them into a putative American "empire;" or plundered a native population of their natural resources; or forced them to buy crappy, cheaply manufactured products for exorbitant prices; or inflicted a separate-and-unequal legal system upon a foreign population; or any other hallmark of the colonialism of Spain, Portugal, France, or Belgium, the truly horrific colonialism of the Moslem countries, or even the much more benign English model. (The crimes of the English in India fade to a whiter shade of pale compared to the nightmare of the Belgian Congo or the African nations conquered by Arab Moslems.)
Of course, America certainly did oppress blacks and other racial minorities for nearly 190 years; but racism — which most nations practiced as bad as or worse than the U.S. did — does not constitute "colonialism." Both are evil, but they are distinct evils.
However, to a glib anti-colonialist, lack of colonial history is no impediment to a charge of neo-colonialism:
Today's neocolonial leader is not Europe but America. As the late Palestinian scholar Edward Said — who was one of Obama's teachers at Columbia University — wrote in Culture and Imperialism, "The United States has replaced the earlier great empires and is the dominant outside force."
From the anticolonial perspective, American imperialism is on a rampage. For a while, U.S. power was checked by the Soviet Union, but since the end of the Cold War America has been the sole superpower. Moreover, 9/11 provided the occasion for America to invade and occupy two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, and also to seek political and economic domination in the same way the French and the British empires once did. So in the anticolonial view, America is now the rogue elephant that subjugates and tramples the people of the world.
(As Alexander Meiklejohn said, some crimes are so heinous, not even innocence is a defense.)
Reckon you can rationalize anything if you're clever enough — and if you've unfettered yourself from the shackles of fact, drinking deep from the fountains of fancy.
Does "anti-colonialism" explain all the odd behaviors of the One We Unfortunately Have? Hard to say, but we are inclined to believe it explains a great deal. At least we should all agree on one point: Obama does not like the America he knows. He does not believe in traditional American values, American exceptionalism, the Pax Americana, or the unique and wonderful quality of our country. Does this come from his father's colonial-ectomy? Who can say?
Whatever the reason, President Barack Hussein Obama does not represent the America we love; in fact, he wants to recreate it according to his own dream (or his father's). That alone is reason enough to say that we the people must terminate his agenda, before he and his acolytes succeed in implementing the dreams from his father.

A Japanese woman faces the prospect of a jail sentence after she killed off her "virtual husband" in a computer game. the 43 year-old woman became angry because her online husband threatened to "divorce" her during the course of the Maple Story game that she logged on with his password and deleted his digital persona. She has been arrested and charged with illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data. The woman who used the man's username and password to log in to the game and carry out the deadly deed, told police, "I was suddenly divorced–without a word of warning. That made m e so angry."
The woman who lives in southern Miyazaki was taken six hundred miles to the home of the dead man in Sapporo where he used to live prior to his online demise. It is still unclear if she will be placed on a virtual world trial and her crime evaluated by a virtual world jury and virtual world judge. Who knows, maybe she will be sent to a virtual world prison for eternity.

"I ordered this photo gift for my husband for Valentine's Day and he loves it! The photo came out beautifully and it is a high quality gift."
"This was THE EASIEST, most pain-free process ever! From choosing the product to uploading the design, it doesn't get any simpler. Our picture canvas is amazing - beautiful! It's absolutely perfect. We chose a black and white color option. The picture print is incredible. We have received so many compliments and we literally can't stop looking at it!"
"I was reluctant to enlarge to 20x16 since I was unfamiliar with the printing process. Plus I had read that someone was happy with the outcome of a card, but not the enlarged canvas with the same print. However, I had taken this particular photo on an SLR with a telephoto lens, so I knew it was a quality shot. Also, Tiny Prints assured me I could return it if I wasn't 100% satisfied. So I took a chance. It arrived in 2 days, & it's absolutely beautiful! The color & detail came out perfectly clear, down to every last drop of water spilling off an ocean wave! I highly recommend to anyone wanting to enlarge a favorite memory. The canvas truly makes my photo a piece of art!"
"Love the quality of the canvas print, wish it is wall mount really. I need to buy separate supply before I can hang on the wall. Also, wish there was other color options for he announcement section beside the baby blue."
"I knew I loved the product because of past orders BUT Nikie actually called me to extend her sympathy for the recent death of our dog. I had sent a collage of photos with his name and the dates. She offered to make a change to improve the placement of text but wanted to send a complimentary proof. Her sensitivity and professional manner made me an even more loyal customer and I applaud her and your company for putting a heart and soul into the business world. Photos are the link for all of us to create connections that keep us going and her voice on the phone did that for my family."

Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
I just recently bought a 96 sts and the guy had all the receipts from the all the work that had been done to it. He had a mechanic put on a new EGR valve and it costed about $250 (parts and labor).
Glad the previous owner put one in before I bought, saves me some dough.
Re: How To Clean The EGR ValveOriginally Posted by EldyfigOriginally Posted by tkarlstad
If your gas petal is sticking, you have a totally different problem. My gas petal has never been sticky, but when I tried to keep the gas petal steady to keep a pace up a hill, my car would surge instead of going steady. For me, the surging never happened at idle, but I'm not sure if it's possible or not for the EGR valve to cause suging at idle.Originally Posted by denscor
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
I cleaned out the EGR valve. Man--removing it and installing it was a bear.
Although I don't have a steel fuel rail (recall only goes up to 1997), I have the metal bracket atop the EGR valve. I dropped a fastener (nut that fastens the metal plate to the top of the EGR valve) into the engine valley--and lost it.
My carb cleaner was misplaced--so I tried electronics cleaner and to my surprise a slurry of black water came out and the valve was squeaky clean. Nice surprise. The valve did not seem to be getting stuck before or after, but the shaft did have a lot of carbon deposits on it, which I successfully removed with the electronics cleaner and a small brush.
I scraped the old gasket off with a razor blade, and it was a bear all over again to put the EGR valve in, with that thick bracket in the way.

Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
Man, I had alot of fun with my dad's 99 deville at 97k miles today. Symptoms: stall at low speed, misfiire P300 code, and surging on moderate/heavy acceleration. Heavy acceleration to 4000rpm would cause it to stall. No other code than P300. And my father babys the N*
Cleaned out the throttle body, and cleaned out the EGR valve. Both were filled with crap. On the 99 deville, there's no spark wire cover, but there's a different kind of headache, a bracket that attaches between the fuel lines and one of the EGR screws. Take the nut off, then gently push the fuel line away from the EGR to clear the bracket off that screw, then proceed to remove that screw.
After cleaning both TB and EGR out, topped out the gas tank (11 gals) of Shell 93, I went to a backroad and floored it. Problem solved... now I need to do a couple more WOT's before giving it back to the old man.

Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
My EGR valve has been causing a rough idle and stalling lately. I recently took it out, cleaned it with carborator cleaner and replaced it and now the vehicle won't turn over. It just keeps cranking. My question to Krashed989 or anyone else was: could this mean i messed up the EGR valve while cleaning it? I sprayed the carb-cleaner inside the two holes and put a paper towel in there to wipe out some of the carbon build-up... I didn't get any cleaner on the black electrical cylinder I don't think... Before I tried to clean out the EGR valve, the vehicle started and ran, though rough and with some stalling, but after the cleaning, won't start.
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
Did you check it before reinstalling it? Did the pintle valve move freely without sticking (opened or closed)? Did you pull any electrical connections and forget to plug them back in?
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
I cleaned mine with electronic contact cleaner, and a toothbrush. The electronics contact cleaner was extra insurance in case it managed to get inside the windings.
The thing is I still got the code a couple of times after putting it back together.
I performed the "carbon cleaning" via the intake vacuum with GM Top Engine Cleaner aerosol, then raising RPMs to 2000 and turning the car off when the smoke begins to come out.
A few WOTs later, no more EGR code. I think my pinging with cheap gas could have possibly been related to the EGR.
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
Would it be unwise to take some Seafoam or GM TEC and put a bit into the intake of the EGR while the car is running in order to clean out the hoses and the whole system? And if it is unwise, is it only unwise because it would damage the valve and nothing else? If so, I think it'd be a good idea to do before changing one (which I think I am about to do...).
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
How are you going to do that? Where are you going to put it? Besides that, there is no EGR flow at idle. Just pull it and clean it the conventional way if you need to.
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
Well was thinking of holding the throttle lever open a wee bit...unless it has to be in drive, wasn't sure. I saw a vacuum line going to it...but calling up the diagram of the valve in my head, that might be bad for it and cause it to stop working, you're right. Might just put it in the return line with it off though.
Re: How To Clean The EGR ValveOriginally Posted by Tailfin
Hey wait a minute. Are you talking Northstar? Different beast altogether. Pre Northstar you have to clean out the "mouse holes" inside the throttle body with an old wire hangar. Your proposed method is more orthodox, in that case. Do a search under the correct engine forum. There are plenty of posts on how to tackle the EGR code on a pre-Northstar.
Re: How To Clean The EGR Valve
Wait a minute. "Mouse holes" are on '93/'94 Northstars. He has a 4.5. Mtflight, I believe you are thinking of the EGR "tubes" in the 4.9 tb bore.
That vacuum hose tailfin is discribing goes to the vacuum side of the EGR diaphram (no carbon there). Besides that, the pre Northstar EGRs rarely need cleaning.

Ahhh! I stand corrected.

Hi everyone !
I'm Olivier and I live in France. I'm 35 and naturally a big fan of Star Wars
I know this site for a few month now but just made an account recently. I have to say that all I can read here is very useful and you are all very gentle. I'm proud of being a new member here
Anyway, I'm thinking of doing a Boba Fett ROTJ costume this year and will need some help I think

No and no.
The conventional wisdom around here is that it is the repeated cycling (compression and decompression) of the spring from use that will eventually wear the spring. Prolonged storage of a full mag should not harm the spring nor affect the function of the magazine or firearm. This makes sense if you think about the shock on a car. They really only eventually wear from use.
I have had full mags (Beretta 92FS) sit for much longer than six months with no ill effects. When brought to the range both magazine and gun perform flawlessly.
Even with use your magazines will last a long time. And if they do begin to wear the fix is as easy as installing new springs.
Hope this helps.

That came out great! How do you like that jetpack harness?
Thank you guys! Completely forgot to weather the cape. Vest is weathered but hard to see in pics.
The harness is amazing. I can't feel the jetpack at all.
Wes it looks amazing you did a terrific job.
WOW!! Fantastic. It really looks amazing and you should be proud. One thing, don't forget the red paint on the sides of the jetpack thrusters. Very easy to do.
Absolutly excellent! it's a beautiful costume hope you have a lot of fun wearing it, and do so as much as you can. :thumbsup
Great looking ESB! Be proud of all your hard work! :)
Wow!Nice to see this finally come together.amazing!
Excellent job.
Looks killer man! Only thing, and I know its nitpicky, is the collar armor looks like it might be spaced to far from the chest armor...kinda a big gap there but it might just be me or the camera or whatever. Looks outstanding! Love the weathering, kinda like mine lol.
The suit looks amazing and you wear it like a true Fett!
Who did the cape? It looks pretty good, but it also look a bit small and it is wrongly attached at the end of the cape. The attachment point is halfway between the end of the brown strip and the end of the cape. Here is my template as a guide:
Attachment 71009
great work! that helmet is beautiful! be very proud of this setup!
Whoa! Nice esb fett wes! Btw how tall are you? I'm 5'8 and i also have RKD's armor. Need to figure out how I'm gonna work with it since its based off of WOF's large temps..
Thank you guys so much!
The cape was by Woodman. I feel like it's a good size but it didn't come with any hole in it so I just assumed it was in the corner. I'll be sure to fix that soon.
I had my first outing a couple weekends ago at Tampa Bay Comic Con and let me just say I had a blast!! 7.5 hours straight in costume so I was pretty excited to get out of it afterwards haha. Found a few things I need to adjust here and there so it was a good learning experience.
Here are some shots of the event:

I was able to get submission pics to the 501st Legion and am now approved BH-51773!!
I still need to figure out how to get my ankles to stay up. I think the legs on my flight suit are a bit long. Maybe I can tuck them in the boots and let them hang over? Anyways, let me know what you guys think!!
Love the Jodo Kast pic.
Great job on it Wes!
Great pics! That suit looks killer!
It turned out fantastic, excellent costume!:thumbsup
Great job Wes!!! Looks like you had a blast!
Congrats on the 501st approval.
AWESOME. JUST AWESOME. can I ask how you attached the side pouches to the ammo belt?
Nice job Wes! Love the build, you really nailed the ESB. Impressive, truly impressive.
I really like the paint on your helmet, great work.
Great work man! Came out great!
Killer job Wes! I've really enjoyed watching the progress from the very beginning. Very inspiring on helping me with my ROTJ SE.
Amazing! And those are some great pictures along the way. Really got me wanting to get parts ordered and get a move on.
How did the printed sidearm come out after the sanding and all?

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.
