where can I get brush on heat paint?
I have been looking everywhere for brush on heat paint in silver, and cannot find not only silver but any color. My headers were acid dipped and coated with a rough texture coating that I believe came from Eastwood. This stuff was supposed to never come off or rust but I have a little rust starting on the collectors and they are turning gray near the heads. It doesn't matter if I re-coat them with a brush since they are rough finnished anyway, it would look just as good. Brush coating would keep me from having to remove the headers, I don't even want to think about that. Anyone know where I can find such a product? Thanks, HotRod

POR 15 makes a brush on & I think eastwood also has it.Only thing is that you usually have to sandblast any header to get paint to stick.They're really hard to keep paint on. it might be worth the trouble to remove them.
I use a product called"High heat jet turbinemanifold coating" & the stuff is great, almost like a HPC coating, but then again the metal has to be completely oil free.The phone # is 1-800-833-8933
I think Eastwood company sells a product like you are looking for. Have seen it on exhaust manifolds and it looks pretty good, dont know how long it will last, but maybe this will help.PACO
Thanks PACO, I looked a little closer at the Eastwood web page and I found some POR-20. It's exactly what I have been looking for, aluminum , 1200 deg, and brush on. I'm familliar with POR-15 but I didn't know about POR-20. I'm going to order some and get painting. Thanks!
Hello, I have used the POR High temp finish many times on the headers I build and customers existing manfolds and haeders. This stuff really works but is as mentioned absolutley imperative to sandblast the item being coated and wear RUBBER GLOVES during any handling of the sandlasted part. I also found blasting with sand to be a "must" rather than beads for this operation. It is cheaper than Ceramic coatings and last a long time BUT, will never be as good . One of the advantages of ceramic coatings is they retain the heat(Zero Heat Radiation!!) and reduce the underhood temperature drastically. I have a set done by HPC of Oklahoma nearly 20 years ago and they still look good. I don't think the POR finish will last that long but 3-5 years is not uncommon. I also bake the headers & manifolds in a oven at 350 degrees before installing them on a vehicle when I use POR coating.Just some thoughts ,Paul

Chris Kelly's cause of death revealed
Listen to Kris Kross on iHeartRadio
A drug overdose is to blame in the death of Kris Kross rapper Chris Kelly. The 34-year old rapper passed away suddenly on May 1st after being found unresponsive in his Atlanta, Georgia home.
According to TMZ.com, an investigator from the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that Kelly died from a mixture of drugs. However, the investigator didn't reveal which drugs were found in Kelly's system. The official cause of death does not come as a surprise, as authorities had suspected that drugs played a role.
Kelly was one-half of the 1990s kid rap duo Kris Kross with fellow rapper Chris Smith. Known as "Mac Daddy" and "Daddy Mac," the pair released their first album Totally Krossed Out in 1992. Among the songs on the album was their smash hit "Jump," which held the number one spot on the charts for eight weeks.

According to a new analysis by Doug Short, vice president of research at investment group Advisor Perspectives, if you live in a place like Hawaii, where the cost of living is relatively high, you need to make $122,175 per year before some extra cash doesn't really translate into more happiness. In Mississippi, by comparison, the threshold at which more money stops making you happier is a lot lower: $65,850 per year. MORE HERE

Operation WASP rounds up those with outstanding warrants
The Chaves County Magistrate Court in Roswell, in cooperation with local law enforcement agencies successfully completed Operation WASP (Warrant Arrest Service Project). It is part of an ongoing process to find and arrest defendants with outstanding warrants.
The warrants ranged from felonies such as distribution of methamphetamines, battery on a household member, to traffic misdemeanors.
The warrant service covered all of Chaves County. A total of 250 warrants were checked, of those, 50 had out-of-state addresses.
"We knocked on a total of 200 doors. … We cleared some 30 warrants, many had multiple warrants. We went as far as Lake Arthur to pick up prisoners," said Chaves County Sheriff Lt. Britt Snyder.
Chief of Police Al Solis said, "This is run by Magistrate Court, and the RPD was not the only [auth] agency involved. We were just one of a few agencies."
Sheriff Rob Coon said the Chaves County Sheriff's Office took the lead. "We had 10 or 12 guys in on it. We went in and picked up the warrants."
The Roswell Police Department contributed 15 officers, with five from New Mexico State Police and one from the U.S. Marshal's Service.
The Chaves County Detention Center and the Chaves County Misdemeanor Compliance Office also participated in the project that started on Wednesday and ran throughout the week.
"We've been planning this for two months. Magistrate Court put all the paperwork and the packages together. We want to compliment them for all their hard work. That's the difficult part," said Snyder.
Chaves County Detention Center acted as headquarters for Operation WASP and brought in special staff from their Special Operations Response Team to do a lot of the logistical work. RPD Commander Eric Brackeen headed the police operations.
"We made the SWAT team available in case we had any siege situations," said Solis.
The program also targeted those people who have outstanding bench warrants for failure to appear in court, failure to pay fines and failure to comply with the conditions of their release.
District Attorney Janetta Hicks said the round-up was part of an ongoing program.
Snyder noted the warrants served represented the tip of the iceberg. Law enforcement plan to have another round-up in the near future.
Both Hicks and Solis praised the effort of the officers. "I think it's a good program. The criminal justice system has a lot of outstanding warrants and we were happy to participate," Solis said. Hicks agreed.
"We were not really involved … but we appreciate and support law enforcement efforts in serving these warrants. Victims of crimes are often concerned when a defendant remains at large."
Coon warned those with outstanding warrants need to take care of them, or face being picked up in the future.
Chaves County Magistrate Court Manager Tobie Fouratt urged people to come forward.
"Any person with an outstanding warrant is encouraged to avoid incarceration by addressing obligations prior to arrest."
"You can pay fines over the internet now," explained Snyder.
Information on outstanding warrants is available at the New Mexico Judiciary website, nmcourts.gov, or by contacting the Chaves County Magistrate Court in Roswell at 624-6088.

FORT DRUM, N.Y. - U.S. Army Medical Department Activity and 3-85 Mountain Infantry leadership conducted an Army Medicine Covenant signing ceremony April 13 during a gathering at the Multipurpose Auditorium on Fort Drum.
The event highlighted the Army Medical Department's commitment to providing quality health care to Soldiers and their Families, demonstrating there is no higher priority for the AMEDD than caring for those who have made personal sacrifices in the defense of the nation.
Col. Bertram C. Providence, MEDDAC commander, emphasized the importance of the covenant signing and pledged the MEDDAC and AMEDD's continued commitment to warriors in transition.
"As Soldiers, we live the Soldier's Creed," Providence said. "Within the Soldier's Creed is the Warrior Ethos - one of which includes, 'I will never leave a fallen comrade.' Signing this covenant today is our commitment of that.
"We are here to help you transition and get better," he continued. "We are committed to your welfare and to your Families' welfare as you transition back to a unit assignment as a Soldier or out of the military as a civilian. We are here to help you with that."
After his remarks, Providence was joined by MEDDAC Command Sgt. Maj. Alexis A. King and Lt. Col. Patrick L. Harvey, 3-85 Infantry commander, in the ceremonial signing. At the end of the event, 3-85 Infantry warriors in transition had an opportunity to sign the warrior care covenant poster, which will be framed and placed in Guthrie Clinic.
"This covenant signifies a long-lasting commitment to providing quality care for our warriors and their Families," Harvey said. "We cannot rest on our laurels. We are resolute in our endeavor to improving our systems so that we ultimately provide timely, quality service and do all we can to assist our warriors in transition back to productive military service or successful civilian life."
Many strides have been made in establishing services and support facilities for Fort Drum and 10th Mountain Division (LI) warriors in transition.
These recent achievements include:
* growing from a one-person (commander only) unit in July 2007, to having 18 hand-selected cadre assigned from the division by Sept. 1, 2007, to more than 90 cadre today;
* hiring more than 50 civilian staff members, bringing the unit military and civilian personnel total to 130;
* going from six case managers in 2008, to 18 today;
* ensuring capability to support from 100 to 320 Soldiers, even reaching a one-time high of 569;
* adding 13 Army Reserve and National Guard cadre and senior leaders to support warriors in transition;
* reducing medical evaluation board times;
* receiving additional funding to ensure support services and infrastructure is available to meet health care and services support needs of warriors in transition; and,
* having Fort Drum establish the Soldier and Family Assistance Center.
In addition, a $103 million multiphase construction project in the Guthrie Clinic Complex area will ensure that warriors in transition are housed in state-of-the-art barracks conveniently located across from Guthrie.
Phase 1 of the construction is scheduled for occupancy in June. It includes two completed company headquarters and a three-story barracks for 144 Soldiers. The barracks are a 1+1 configuration, with private bedrooms and a shared kitchenette and living room. Geothermal sidewalks and an enclosed walkway connecting barracks to the company area will ensure safe travel during inclement weather.
Phase 2, which has recently been awarded, will include a battalion headquarters, possible Soldier and Family Advocacy Center, and additional barracks rooms.
Future phases of construction are still under program development in an effort to most effectively respond to WTU requirements.

The reply to comment overlay is broken again (Safari 5.0.5/Mac). See: http://cl.ly/8Wmg
Can the overlay concept (which annoyingly covers the comment you're responding to) be abandoned? Appending the comment form beneath the last comment in a chain is trivial via JS and much more usable.
+1, to ditching the overlay in favor of appending the form to the bottom of the comment itself (like the edit mode).
yup is seriously messing with my karma today – and it's always sucked doing it this way when trying to use your iphone – damn thing just jumps all over the place – please return to a normal form that works whatever you are using – thanks!
Looking into it now, thanks guys. In the future, please use the support channel for bug reports, there is no guarantee they will be documented on the forums.
Alrighty, confirmed it here as well. Just sent in a ticket to the devs with details so we can begin to get this fixed. Thanks!
Should be fixed (and a bit different) now guys
@ CreatingDrew — Thanks for getting the ticket in, and taking the append form suggestion. Much better than before.
I like the new comment window. It was very annoying with the lightbox. When a client ask several questions and you forgot one, you have to close the lightbox again to see what he was asking.
Yesss for the new reply toggle. Super handy.

At Lennard
Scores: East Bay 20, Spoto 0; Lennard 16, Riverview 7
Spring game-breakers: East Bay quarterback Chris Carpentier was determined to get into the end zone early — and did so three times (only to have them called back or stopped). That included a 61-yard scamper late in the first half, an illegal shift that negated a 4-yard run in the second half, and a sack with the ball on the 1-yard line. Junior Chris Greene eventually broke the 0-0 tie with a 10-yard run midway through the second half. …Junior running back Jude Holston had one carry, but it was worth it, a 10-yard jaunt into the end zone with just six seconds left for East Bay. …Lennard's Darren Daniel rushed for 104 yards, including a 43-yarder after Riverview had taken a quick 7-0 lead. …Riverview's Jaylin Vereen and Fred McCoy combined for 99 yards rushing. McCoy is only a freshman. …Riverview and Lennard were tied until the last 22 seconds. Junior Ellis Shaw kicked a 39-yard field goal that gave Lennard the go-ahead score, then the Longhorns returned a last-second interception for the final margin.
Did you know? Shaw has never missed a PAT, but has missed some key field goals in his career. Thursday's late field goal was his first winning kick.
Audible 1: "We got in our own way for a while. We kept tripping over our own shoelaces. Once we punched that first one in, I was like, 'All right guys, we know how to do this.' " — East Bay coach Frank LaRosa
Audible 2: "I was very nervous. My heart was pounding. All I had to do was kick it straight down. But then the other coach called a timeout; I knew he was going to freeze me out. I got really nervous, but I left it on God and I left it on my players." — Shaw

According to the Greek mythology, the souls of the newly dead arrived to the underground Styx River, bounded the world of alive from the nether world, where the ferryman Charon transferred them to the underworld on his boat.
Yesterday we floated along this underground river… All right, all right, if the Styx River ever existed, it might look like the river in the Grotte dell'Angelo, a cave in the province Campania in Italy, it is 70 km from the city Petrosa. This is one of the very few underground rivers in Italy.
After buying the tickets to the caves – there are three variants of the excursion duration – the whole company of the "newly dead" takes their seats in the big boat, and the ferryman Charon (it is a guide) navigates it along the silent and grim underground river to the underground waterfall. The deep silence on the way to the waterfall from time to time disturbed by splash of drops falling from the roof of the cave and echo their produce. The boat has no paddles; Charon pulls it along the ropes, stretched along the whole route; that's why there are no the sounds of paddles, just as the paddles themselves.
"Charon" does not speak any language except Italian – apparently, only the Italian tourists reach this place – but there are few English words that he knows, and periodically he addresses to us with short details regarding the age of the cave (it is about 35 million years) and how the stalactites grow downward and the stalagmites are coming from the opposite direction – upward. With a shortage of English words (which happened in 90% of situations) he substituted them with the Italian, but we keep nodding with understanding as we could catch some familiar words and in principle know the subject after visiting the New Athos Cave in Abkhazia.
We are much more interested in photographing. Any kind of photography – whether with flash or without it – is prohibited in Grotte dell'Angelo. But does it ever been an obstacle for us? We turned our cameras into the silent mode and made about two hundred photos, hiding ourselves behind the backs of the Italian tourists, in order to provide you with the evidence of our underground trip. 🙂
The water part of the route ends up after visiting the waterfall; your further way runs along the tidy concrete paths, providing an overview of different splits of the cave. That's where the most interesting things begin. If the stalactites (the downward growths) could not be compared to anything earthly, they seem to belong to another world, then the stalagmites, growing upward for millions of years, have managed to take some really bizarre forms. Here you can find an "Italian medieval town" with an eternal bell tower in the center, and a huge sinewy "dinosaur's leg", and a "frozen Arctic lake", and a "human profile", and a "medieval castle colonnade" – the images could be limited by your own fantasy only. And the colorful illumination intensifies them.
The ancestors of the modern Italians have used Grotte dell'Angelo for the conduction different religious ceremonies since time immemorial. It's not hard to understand why they chose this place from the first seconds you see it. It has a kind of mystic, supernatural atmosphere, created by the Mother Nature. Moreover, there is a native ready-to-use "catholic cathedral" in the depth of the cave. It is a huge hall of 24 meters in height with the "flowing down" ceilings and walls – officially it is called The Hall of Wonders. The early Christians used it as a place of refuge. Seems like the great architect Antonio Gaudi visited this place as well and after that started to create his Sagrada Familia in Barcelona using this kind of "flowing" style. Just compare:
The modern Italians did not fail to take this opportunity to use the genius natural decorations in order to organize theatrical performances in Grotte dell'Angelo, for example the Dante's opera about seven circles of hell. And it is absolutely clear, why exactly this one.
The halls of the cave are conditionally divided into heaven and hell, and there are pictures of different world-known murderers-tyrants in here, whose place is in the hell for sure. There's no picture of Napoleon here, however, you will find Slobodan Milosevic – not clear why and by whom "sentenced" – hanging right between Hitler and Stalin.
It is rather cold in the cave, about 16 degrees; you should take a warm sweater and probably even a cap – the cave continues to live and form, that's why the water keeps dropping from the ceilings all the time. You will walk along the wet concrete paths, so don't' forget to change your peeps and slippers for a closed footwear.

How to get to Grotte dell'Angelo
From the highway A3 "Salerno-Reggio Calabria" exit at Petina (if you come from the North) or exit at Polla (if you come from the South); then go onto the national road S.S.19 following the indications to the "Grotte dell'Angelo Pertosa".
Up to 16 Euro, depending on the route, age etc.
If Grotte dell'Angelo lighted the fire in you, then in 200 km to the east you can find other famous Italian caves – Grotte Di Castellana, located not far from Putignano.
Grotte Di Castellana
Grotte Di Castellana – is a huge complex of caves with fancy stalactites and stalagmites, similar to the underground fairy world of gnomes. Nobody knew about the existence of these caves for a very long time. The peasants called a deep hole in the earth the gates of hell. Domestic livestock used to fall down in this hole and nothing could help the animals from dying. The rotting bodies stank so much that people were trying to stay away from this place.
The first attempts to investigate the caves belongs to the XVIII century, but only in 1938 a group of speleologists led by Franco Anelli managed to evaluate the real scale of the underground complex. Now there is a sculpture of him erected in the first cave, the one with the deep hole on the surface, and some of the grottoes are open for visiting.
The longest route takes 3 km of a way and goes down to 72 meters. The amazing trip around the underground world runs through the several caves, covered with the crystalline growths, illuminated with a dimmed light, what creates the illusion of monsters, faeries, angels and fantastic beings. The Empty Corridor – a long, narrow gorge with walls up to 450 meters – provides a really stately appearance.
And the culmination of the whole trip is the so-called White Cave – an amazing grotto, bursting with its whiteness. This cave was acknowledged as one of the most beautiful caves in the whole world during the International Speleological Congress. Moreover, the White Cave is a very rare grotto because of its color, and the only one open for visiting.
We did not reach it; postponed the trip for next time, so you can get ahead of us.
The official website of the Grotte Di Castellana
15 Euro – the whole route of 3 km.
10 Euro – the short route of 1 km (does not reach the White Cave).
But no matter how mysterious was the underworld, we come back. Here, there is the hot Italian sun, and we want to go all over the endlessly hospitable roads of Campania.

We asked our dj to play a mix of spanish music as well as current top 40 songs and he did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend them."

"We had many out of town guests at our wedding that came early for the wedding. The Marriott was perfect because it provided continental breakfast and was convieniently close to Colonie Center Mall. In addition to this the hotel had a nice pool and the rooms were very clean. The staff was very helpful and the accomodations were excellent for the price. We definitely would stay again."

"All though in the end the wedding was everything I ever dreamed of...getting there was a disaster. I had an original date set in July and the country club called me a few months before to tell me that they needed to change the date because they had double booked. Once they rescheduled me, they contacted me a month before to tell me that they were moving my wedding to a tent because a larger group needed the reception area. As you can imagine this was not a good impression. But in the end it all worked out! The food was good and the staff was courteous and attentive."

Hi Dr. Sears! My daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis about a week ago, she is 5 weeks old. Prior to the diagnosis we were planning on not vaccinating before 2 and maybe not even after that. Now I'm completely torn and can't decide what's best for our baby, are there any vaccines that you think she MUST have or any that you think she could definitely do without? Her Doc at Children's recommended the full round but it just makes me sick to think of putting all of that into her little body when she already has some things working against her. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Samantha, CO
I won't say whether or not you should definately get them, but I will say that you wouldn't need to do them all. You'd want to focus on doing ones that could protect her from diseases that could be particularly bad for someone with CF. In my mind, that would be whooping cough (DTaP vaccine), Rotavirus, pneumococcal disease (PC vaccine), and the flu. If you were to do them, my selective vaccine schedule would be a way to spread them out. I'd say that all the other vaccines would be less important. I know if you ask the pulmonologist what vaccines she should get, he or she will say all of them. But you could also ask which specific diseases pose a big threat to her due to the CF and start there.

Out[8]= 123
However, the message is not printed when evaluating f. Why not?
By the way, when I use Definition to inspect f, the result depends on
wether I use StandardForm or OutputForm:
In[10]:= Definition[f] // OutputForm
Out[10]//OutputForm= f := Removed[x] = 123
In[11]:= Definition[f] // StandardForm
Out[11]//StandardForm= f := Global`x = 123
The StandardForm version seems slightly misleading.

Award-winning producer, Taylor Steele, along with his crew at Poor Specimen, have dominated the surf film industry for the past decade. Steele's movies invariably win praise and garner numerous industry awards. In 1998, The Show won best movie at the Surfer Poll. Loose Change, 2000, won the Australian Surfing Life Reader's Choice Award. In 2002, Steele, along with Chris Malloy, won X-Dance awards for Best Film, Best Cinematography and Best Editing for the movie Shelter. That same year, Poor Specimen produced film Hallowed Ground was named ESPN's Action {{{Sports}}} Movie of the Year.
Steele, whose filmmaking career was kicked into overdrive with the release of Momentum in 1992, defined an era in the sport. The title of the film is now a term that has come to define an entire generation of surfing: The "Momentum Generation," which includes Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Shane Dorian, Taylor Knox and others. From Momentum, Steele went on to produce 20+ feature films, 4 music videos, and numerous other film and video projects. Always an innovator and ahead of the technological curve, Steele was the first surf filmmaker to switch exclusively to DVD in 2001 and the first to film an entire movie in HD.
"I'm stoked to be working with SURFING Magazine," said Steele. "The magazine is looking incredible and the crew there are doing great things. It's going to be a lot of fun working together and I look forward to the future."
This year, Steele and his team took home best Cinematography at X-Dance for his work on Sipping Jetstreams. During the production of Sipping Jetstreams, Steele set a new precedent in modern surf travel and documentation, partnering with leading lensman, Dustin Humphrey on trips to off-the-radar locations like Egypt and Italy.
SURFING Magazine will serve as official media partner of Steele's films and will work with Steele to produce marketing programs for the films as well as the films' sponsors and partners. The partnership will also lead to new distribution models and content creation.
"Taylor was the inventor of the modern surf movie format," said SURFING Publisher, Ross Garrett, "but he's also a constant innovator from both production and distribution standpoints. In this rapidly changing digital age, we're thrilled to work with such a legendary figure."

High cluster and High DSP radio retrofit
I want to retrofit low cluster and low DSP radio to high cluster and high DSP radio on my 530i
The DSP radio is different for high cluster as it has more computer options
Anyone who did it / any links ? is it only parts / coding or also wires need to be changed ?
I am not able to find info for DSP radio retrofit for a high cluster
Tnx I
This can be a bear of a job. Why don't you just ditch the DSP system (which isn't that great to boot), and go straight aftermarket nice double din with a decent amp & speakers? You will have all the bells & whistles, better sound and a much easier install process.
There's some posts over on bmw5.co.uk from those who've done these kinds of retrofits and, I will assume here and on other BMW forums as well. It's up to you if you wish to go this way, but from the value for money, Time and effort, costs perspective it's not worth doing in my opinion. You'll need to change your instrument cluster, perhaps buy specific looms and you'll need coding done. Then, you'll need to find working MID units with pixels intact and from the correct model years to be compatible with your very late build E39. I'm quite certain you'll need looms to make those fit and quite possibly once everything is connected and installed the whole shebang will also need coding. You'll then need to find a working DSP amplifier and then retrofit all the DSP speakers.
You'll end up with a few more computer functions and oem - read mediocre, sound quality and the cost is likely to run into the hundreds of dollars range and I daresay not far off $1K.
Cheers, Dennis!
Good point, Dennis. From my own dabbling into the DSP system, I have found enough year-to-year variations to make your retrofit a nightmare, at best.
High quality aftermarket would be the way to go.
well I already have great DSP + boston CS50 acoustic but my car has low cluster
I cant change ONLY cluster as i also have "low MID units with DSP" w/o computer button if you understand what i mean
The question is how to retrofit high cluster AND "high MID units with DSP"
No question about DSP changes which i already did and which sound great , just a cluster and DSP radio
here is one picture where you can see what i am talking about
See BC button on the right side for MID
I want to retrofit from this
to this
Hi Champaign,
Better go make yourself a big cup of tea and get plenty of biscuits !
You'll need to do some digging around to find the correct modules needed, looms needed, any specialists who can code etc.
Once you've found out everything and know all the bits and pieces required, you can press ahead!
I'd hazard a guess it can be done, and has been done. I'd say the information you need is perhaps contained in multiple threads over multiple forums, maybe a stroke of luck has it that you find one thread with all you need to know etc.
Good luck!
Cheers, Dennis!
I looked into upgrading the low cluster and MID in 2004. I asked a similar question on another forum and got this reply:
thanks Steve530
do you have a link to this thread ?
Here's the link.
There are at least a few more threads on the topic on that forum.
1 Attachment(s)
Yes, Vaheh will help you. I was the second one he assisted way back in 2004 when I did my 97 528i. Had to import the harnesses then, but they might be available now in the US since they have since been added to the BMWNA catalog.
You'll also need this instruction sheet.
thanks fellas , so just to be clear
if i will do high cluster
Assuming you don't already have the high BC, this is what it would take to upgrade the 530:
wiring 61 12 0 306 722
cable ties 61 13 1 367 599 x20
coolant level switch 61 31 8 360 876
instrument cluster 62 10 6 942 197
The total parts cost for the above is about $600, and you will require an hour of labor at the dealer for coding.
Vaheh at Crevier BMW was able to make the harness available for order in the U.S.
and get MID with B/C button i dont NEED any manipulation to get "BC" button on MID to work ?
Is it correct ?
Correct, you don't "have to" replace the MID (main reason for retrofit is to also retrofit navigation, hence no need for MID),
but if you want to control the functions from there, you will need to get one with the "BC" button. I'm sure a lot of people who upgraded to nav will have those available.
Otherwise, yes, the cluster (IKE) is the main component here. The LCM also plays a part, but replacement will not be necessary due to the recoding.
The MID is strictly an input and display device that doesn't do any processing.
I'm not sure if you're asking a question or restating posts from the other thread.
I did not replace my cluster or MID, so I cannot confirm that the upgrade will work as you want it to work. Hopefully Jarhed1964 can answer this for you.
My cluster was originally a LOW OBC. I bought a High OBC and imported the harness pieces pictured in the instructions, and wired it in accordingly. Only issue I have (more because I have been too lazy to correct the punch-wiring like I need to) is that pushing in and holding the button on the turn signal stalk doesn't reset the mpg or avg speed. My assumption is that I punched one of the wires into the wrong spot on the patch panel underneath the glove compartment. There are a lot of wires with very similar colors and patterns. That was the toughest part of the entire process. Other than that, the cluster works PERFECTLY. Not sure about MID and so on, I don't know much about the electronics, unfortunately. I don't have NAV either.
Igor, you need the B/C button on the high MID. it allows to reset the trip fuel consuption among other.
Actually I do

She has kept quiet about her past relationship with reality star Rob Kardashian, but on Wednesday (April 23), Rita Ora opened up about their issues during an interview with Power 105.1.
He is part of reality tv's most known family, but that doesn't mean Rob Kardashian is not hurting.
On Tuesday (April 1), the sock designer took to Twitter to post a cryptic tweet reading, "No one will ever understand how much it hurts."
Showing plenty of affection to their baby brother, the Kardashian sisters wished Rob Kardashian a happy 27th birthday on Monday (March 17).
Sharing a photo of the two, Kim Kardashian wrote on Instagram, "Happy Birthday to my baby bro @robkardashian I love you soooo much!!!!"
Growing up with sisters like Kim, Kourtney and Khloe must've been pretty crazy, but Rob Kardashian had a strong male figure in his life thanks to his dad Robert Sr.
His life may be on display on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," but embarrassing details are being revealed about Rob Kardashian lately by ex-girlfriend Adrienne Bailon.
As co-host of "The Real," the former Cheetah Girl shared that she made up a boyfriend to get the reality star to stop calling her.
Taking care of their career duties, Khloe Kardashian and her brother Rob Kardashian showed up in Calabasas, California on Tuesday afternoon (July 9).
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" stars filmed their reality television show at LAB Brewing Co, though Robert wasn't thrilled to see a bunch of shutterbugs waiting for him.
The Fourth of July is a time for picnics, barbeques and pool parties, and celebrities are no different when it comes to having a good time on America's birthday, some even took to social media to share their celebrations.
Showing off their flair for fashion, Vanessa Hudgens, Bridget Marquardt and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi posted pictures of their patriotic nails and clothing.
He's a proud uncle (again) and Rob Kardashian is thrilled about the recent arrival of his big sister Kim Kardashian's baby daughter.
The sock designer/reality television star called in to Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM show this morning (June 26) to discuss little North West.

Championship Little League Team Is Led by a Secret Weapon — You Won't Believe Who
Boy, oh, boy can this girl play baseball.
Boy, oh, boy can this girl play baseball.
Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream
The Nacogdoches 8U All Stars are playing for the Dixie League World Series title today. They have 2 shots to win 1 game for the title...
It's apparently never too early to learn how to cheat. An Arizona Little League team has been disbanded because league officials say its coaches rigged a player draft.
Noriatsu Osaka had three home runs and a triple, as the team from Tokyo, Japan beat Goodlettsville, Tennessee, 12-2, on Sunday in the championship game of the 2012 Little League World Series in South Williamsport, PA.
Coleman Shannon was born without a right hand and forearm, due to a medical condition called Amelia, but that hasn't slowed him down from chasing his baseball dreams. In fact, the 14-year-old left-handed pitcher recently threw a no-hitter in a Johnsonville, SC little league game.
In a Friday game at the Little League World Series, Huntington Beach, California pitcher Braydon Salzman was almost smacked in the forehead with a line-drive ball. It would've surely been a scary event (just ask this minor leaguer) — were it not for the brim of his ball cap.
While the impact did knock Salzman to the ground, slow-motion replay shows his cap's bill took the brunt of the impact, leaving a noticeable dent.

The Toronto Blue Jays may have slipped into last place in the American League East, but Brett Lawrie says that's not as bad as it sounds considering how tightly packed the division is.
"It's just a number," Lawrie said after the Blue Jays lost 7-4 to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. "We're not out by 10 games, we're out like about three at the most. There's plenty of baseball to be played."
The Blue Jays dropped their second in a row to the Red Sox when left-hander Felix Doubront struck out seven in 6 1/3 innings and Daniel Nava's two-run single keyed a four-run second inning.
Doubront (6-2) allowed three runs (two earned), seven hits and one walk in winning for the fifth time in his past six starts.
"I feel very good," Doubront said. "Sometimes I felt like I couldn't follow through all my pitches in the first inning but I started to make adjustments. Stay back, just throw the ball, don't think too much."
Home runs by Jose Bautista and Jeff Mathis accounted for two of the runs against Doubront.
"He (Doubront) does it in different ways," Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. "Today he was able to win the game without having his best stuff. His one-ball, two-strike count wasn't present today. He was behind hitters, getting three balls on hitters and still getting them out ... He figured out a way to keep us in the game and to win the game."
Nick Punto hit his first homer of the season for Boston against Carlos Villanueva in the ninth and also doubled in a run in the second. Alfredo Aceves pitched the ninth for his 14th save.
Blue Jays starter Kyle Drabek (4-6) allowed five runs (four earned), six hits and four walks while striking out four in 6 2/3 innings. A couple of defensive lapses, including one of his own, hurt him.
"It was really just one pitch to each batter that I either left down the middle or in a good area for them to hit it," Drabek said. "Except for the second inning I'm happy with it, I thought I was able to get some good strikes, quick innings and get our guys back in there."
The Red Sox (28-25) have won 16 of their past 22 games and moved into fourth in the AL East ahead of Blue Jays (27-26).
After Jarrod Saltalamacchia walked with one out in the second, he took third on a two-out single by Ryan Sweeney and scored on a single by Will Middlebrooks.
Punto doubled home one run. And when Rasmus overran Nava's sinking drive and could make the catch on tricky drive, two more runs scored.
"In the second inning they bunched some hits together," Jays manager John Farrell said. "If we make a play on the sinking line drive it's two-run game instead of a four-run game. I thought (Drabek) got in a better rhythm through the middle innings until he started to tire in the seventh inning."
The Blue Jays countered with the third home run of the season by Mathis with one out in the third inning. They loaded the bases on three singles but Rasmus struck out to end the inning.
"There were some things defensively that we have been pretty sharp at that we didn't quite come through today," Farrell said. "I think more than anything the two-out hit was elusive."
The Red Sox made that run up in the fourth. Kevin Youkilis led off with a double and took third when Bautista was charged with a throwing error from right. But the most damaging part of the play was Drabek failing to back up third base.
Sweeney walked and when Middlebrooks grounded into a double play, Youkilis scored.
The Blue Jays scored an unearned run in their half of the inning. Doubront was charged with an error on David Cooper's two-out grounder, Mathis bunted for a hit and Kelly Johnson hit a run-scoring single.
Bautista led off the bottom of the fifth with his 13th homer of the season to cut the lead to 5-3.
But the Red Sox scored a run in the eighth against relievers Darren Oliver and Francisco Cordero. David Ortiz singled and Saltalamacchia walked against Oliver. Cordero walked Youkilis to load the bases.
Ortiz scored on a groundout by Sweeney.
The Blue Jays made that one back in the bottom of the eighth with an unearned run. Edwin Encarnacion singled against Matt Albers and scored from first when Sweeney booted the ball on Lawrie's single to right against Vicente Padilla. The inning ended when Lawrie was caught trying to steal third.
"Brett's trying to be aggressive, trying to force things a little bit with the two-out attempt at third base," Farrell said. "He's certainly an aggressive player. We're not going to temper that. He's got the green light but at the same time in situations we've got to shut him down. And that's on me. That's on no one else."
Lawrie, from Langley, B.C., said he will remain aggressive but will try to be more aware of his surroundings.
"Not necessarily toning it down but just thinking about the situation at hand," Lawrie said. "That might not necessarily be the best time to go but I thought that I could get there and it ended up he fell right in front of the bag and it cut off the way I wanted to slide. I thought I could have been in there if he hadn't fallen like that."

text: Smell the Coffee: Paying it forward By Karin Fuller December 14, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It was late Tuesday night and I was putting the wraps on this week's column, struggling a bit with the ending, when I decided to hop over to Facebook and distract myself for a bit. Clear my head. That's when I saw a posting by Old Colony real-estate agent Leslie Dorsey Bonham.After attending yoga class, Bonham had stopped at Rite Aid."As I was approaching the checkout, a gentleman was paying for his purchases," Bonham wrote. "The cashier was a young woman who looked worn out. I heard the man ask her about kids and she said, 'Yeah, I've got ...,' but I couldn't hear her finish."Then the man picked up his bag and left. I stepped up and put my stuff on the counter. The cashier said, 'I'm gonna cry.' I looked at her and tears were running down her cheeks. I asked her what happened. She held her hand out. It seems the man's purchases totaled 30-some dollars and he paid with a $100 bill. He told her to keep the change."Through her tears, she told me a little of her story, because I asked. She and her husband are going through a tough time financially right now and she talked about how awful it is to have this happen at Christmas. Then she said, 'The only place that will help us is that church over there.' She pointed to the direction of Cross Lanes United Methodist. I asked her if that was where she meant and she said yes. The food basket and toy program is the only source of toys and food for her family this year ... and the $60+ from a generous stranger."After reading Bonham's Facebook post, I hopped over to Yahoo!, where the first story I saw was about a mystery person who has been leaving thousands of dollars in tips at restaurants across the U.S. Although the donor of one New York City tip was revealed to be former PayPal Vice President Jack Selby, other tips with the same "Tips For Jesus" identifier on the receipt were left in other cities across the country the same night. There were thousands of comments following the story, hundreds of which were from people sharing stories of random acts of kindness and generosity that had been shown to them at different difficult times in their life.Last Christmas, there were stories in the news of anonymous people paying off the balances owed on the layaways of complete strangers if those layaways included items that were clearly for children. The idea continued to gain steam until hundreds of families had benefited.The ability to engage in generosity might seem like it's limited to those of means, but it's not. There are so many small kindnesses that require no money at all. For instance, on Tuesday, my wonky right knee decided to up its game by doing its best rendition of how it would feel to have glass shards under the cap. The pain was wicked, increasing throughout the day until I called my doctor to beg for a cortisone shot. They said they could do it if I could get there by 3.When my co-worker Paige heard I was leaving, she grabbed her coat and keys and made the long, cold walk to where we park and then she drove to get me. She drove me to my car, and then she did the long, cold walk once again.Like the worker at Rite Aid, that kindness nearly brought me to tears.And it made me determined to find ways to pay it forward, every chance that I can.Reach Karin Fuller via email at email@example.com.

Public weighs in on U-Med route
The final design should be finished next spring.
ANCHORAGE – A proposed $20 million construction project has some people cheering and others cringing.
People agree the U-Med district needs a new road, but the route is a point of controversy.
Tuesday the public took a look at plans for the road. They also got to provide input.
At this point, the design is only about 20 percent complete.
The state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities wants neighbors involved in the rest of the process.
Some look forward to an easier commute and increased development.
"I see a real need because the traffic all gets pushed into our neighborhood and onto Lake Otis," said longtime resident William Walsky.
Others actually hope the plan falls through and nothing changes.
"Why live in Alaska for pavement and ugly buildings?" Mark Wedekind asked.
Tuesday night was the last scheduled public meeting.
The final design should be finished next spring. Construction will start in the winter.

NRCC to offer Italian art travel course for summer 2014
|A new travel course in Art of the Italian Renaissance will be offered through New River Community College during the summer 2014 term.
Students will spend May 23 through June 6 traveling throughout Italy. Destinations include Rome, Vatican City, the Bay of Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Venice and Florence. During their travels, students will participate in museum visits, art and architecture discussions, lectures from guest artists and other cultural experiences. A daily observation log and final project will also be required.
Tammy Parks, NRCC assistant professor of art, will lead the trip. Parks is an experienced world traveler, having been to more than 15 countries, and believes the travel component of the course will make a big difference for students. Theres nothing like being able to actually see, hear and experience the country in person, she says. My first international trip was to Italy and it was a life-changing experience.
The total cost of the trip (including tuition for the 3-credit course) is $4,632.70. The final deadline to register for the trip is Monday, January 20.
More information may be obtained by contacting Parks at 540-674-3600, ext. 4468, or email@example.com

I have no plans. I don't really like New Year's. I hate drunk people.
I'm not sure any more because I probably won't be going to Toronto any more since all my immediate family are going to be here. And most of the people I know here will want to be in the clubs drinking and I don't know if I will be feeling up to a club (and can't drink.) So, maybe something with family? Some of the members of a singing group I am in mentioned planning something and I think a guy my husband knows from work is having a house party but I'm not sure.
God willing this will be my last childfree NYE, so I do want to enjoy it, but I also feel blah about it (nice clothes don't fit my boobs, don't feel great, closest friends aren't here...) Next year, we hope to take a trip with the baby.
I plan to get really drunk and have sex......I hope my SO is thinking the same thing
Ah, it all makes sense now. Goldy is the puppet master!
i'll be at the winter jazz festival in italy, on my honeymoon!!

Kabul, Dec 6(ANI): Pakistan and Afghanistan have renewed their commitment to eliminate militant sanctuaries in their territories, which can be used for acts of subversion in either country.
A joint declaration issued at the end of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's two-day visit to Kabul said both countries would again undertake to effectively cooperate, combat and defeat these (terrorist) threats and eliminate their sanctuaries 'wherever they are'.
"Terrorism and violent extremism and their international support networks are a major threat undermining peace and stability in the region and beyond," the Dawn quoted the joint declaration, as saying.
The commitment came as a result of the fresh Pakistani demand that the Afghan government should end Baloch insurgent infrastructure on its soil, and hand over nationalist leaders, including Brahmdagh Bugti, who are believed to have taken refuge there.
On Saturday, Afghan President Hamid Karzai had pledged in his meeting with Gilani to end Balochistan insurgency bases in Afghanistan which, he claimed, could have been operating without his knowledge.
But, he told the delegation that he also expected Pakistan to end the Taliban safe havens in FATA that have long been alleged to foment violence in Afghanistan.
Reiterating cooperation for collectively fighting terror, Karzai said: "We need to work together to end violence that continues to hurt both of us and that we should help each other with full knowledge of reality."
The commitment is not exactly new, but what is different this time is the newfound understanding between the two sides that peace and stability in their countries were mutually interdependent. (ANI)

A frequent family favorite is chicken soup. Not only is it nourishing but it is comforting. Chicken soup is always asked for when an illness comes around. Starting the soup with gut healing bone broth and loading it with onions and garlic, you are sure to cure what ails you!
This is my quick version when we've had busy days. But, it is usually all about my freezer supply! I try to keep a few quarts of chicken broth in the freezer along with shredded chicken.
Then all I need to do is chop and cook the veggies, add the broth and meat, season it and we have a healthy meal.
We steer away from pasta here, but my kids love this over rice. I have come to enjoy it over roasted cabbage.
This also makes a great gravy. I've been using gluccamannan to thicken our gravy because it is on plan for Trim Healthy Mama and the Autoimmune Protocol. It is made from the konjac root, a starchy root vegetable, similar to a yam.
If you are following the THM plan, this is an S so you may want to scale back on the carrots or leave them out. If you use all white meat, a fat free broth and scant amount of olive oil to saute the veggies you can easily make this an E by serving with the carrots and rice.
- 6 cups of chicken broth
- diced chicken
- 1 diced onion
- 4 diced celery stalks
- 2 diced carrots
- 6 chopped cloves of garlic
- 4-5 bay leaves
- 1 cup spinach
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tsp. gluccamannan
- olive oil
- -Sautee onions, garlic, celery and carrots in olive oil until tender
- -Add chicken broth and bring to a boil
- -Sprinkle in gluccamannan and stir until the soup has thickened.
- -Add salt and pepper to taste
- -Stir in chicken and spinach right before servings, you just want them heated

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Earlier this year, some 800 college students from across the country submitted proposals to present their research at the annual Council on Undergraduate Research's Posters on the Hill Convention in Washington, D.C. That organization, which was founded in 1978 to promote high-quality undergraduate scholarship, accepted only 60 applicants.
Eva Grebe, an Austin Peay State University biology student, was one of the select few to receive a congratulatory email earlier this month, inviting her to present her research at the event. Grebe will showcase her work, "Quantitative Microscopic Analysis of Scale Morphology in North American Darters (Percidae: Etheostomatinae)," which she did under the direction of Dr. Rebecca Johansen, APSU associate professor of biology, and Dr. Sarah Schiller, APSU professor of biology.
Grebe, a research assistant for the APSU Center of Excellence for Field Biology, will attend the Posters on the Hill Convention on April 24 thanks to funding provided by both the APSU Office of Undergraduate Research and the APSU Department of Biology.
Four APSU geosciences students – Maurice Testa, Patrick Robbins, James Martin and Eric Whittaker – all received an award of honorable mention for their submissions to the conference.
"This is a very significant accomplishment for the students and just one more example of the wonderful undergraduate research being performed at APSU," Dr. Christopher Gentry, director of the APSU Office of Undergraduate Research, said.

Greenville City Council fills vacant position
GREENVILLE — The Greenville City Council has appointed a former councilman to fill the vacancy on the council.
During Tuesday night's regular meeting, the council voted to appoint Brian Greene to the council.
The vacancy came after the council accepted the resignation of former councilman and mayor Kenneth Snow during the last meeting on Jan. 17.
"I welcome Brian (to the council)," said Councilman Lloyd Scoby. "I think he will be a good asset."
The council had 30 days to fill the position, said City Manager George Bosanic. The council had asked people who were interested in the position to submit a letter regarding why they were interested.
Letters were received from Larry Barthel, Steven Eipper, Brian Greene and Corey Smith.
Greene has previously served on the City Council and said he looks forward to being on the council again.
He has a background in planning, developing strategies and looking for alternatives through his experience on the city council, his current position on the Greenville Planning Commission and his time spent as a military officer, he said.
"I appreciate the opportunity to show how I can contribute to the city," Greene said.
Greenville City Clerk Bradley Hool said Greene will serve as a councilman until the November elections.
During that time, Greene will then decide if he wants to run for the remainder of the term, which will be three more years, or run for an open four-year term against candidates.

Does anyone know where I can pickup a Volant Intake for a 2006 V6 SRX for a great price? Ebay has it for $293 shipped. THANKS!:D
: Volant Intake V6 SRX - pricing
Does anyone know where I can pickup a Volant Intake for a 2006 V6 SRX for a great price? Ebay has it for $293 shipped. THANKS!:D
Anything under $300 is probably a good price , however I will sell you one for $200 just to get out of it if you really want to do it...
Only used two weeks and the check engine light came on...found the sleeve between the air duct and mass air flow sencor was about 3/4" too short to stay connected..
Dealer made me take it off as they would not continue to reset check engine light..contacted Volant and they said they would send a longer one , however they sent the same length again (3-1/4") needs 4"..In the short time I had it on I could not detect any improvement in power or gas mileage although it sounds hot when you push it down..(may have just talked myself out of a sale) ...by the way I contacted Premier Truck Accessories 3 times about returning it and now they will not call me back...Fax me at 425-337-1503 if interested.....PERK
I got my Volant from Premier Truck Accessories (David) at 888-345-4782 for 2005 SRX V8 ( V8 & V6 may not be the same) for under $300 shipped; my shipment contained 2 ea 3 1/2"dia x 3 1/4" neoprene sleeves; I called Volant directly at (909-476-7225), gave them my order no., explained the incorrect part, asked for a 3 3/4" dia x 4+" sleeve; they shipped it that day; I received it 2 days later; all then fit well. Installs in ~ 30 min.
I found mine too noisy until I isolated the box mounting with ~1/2" rubber washers & longer mounting bolts, installed a piece of sponge rubber between the CAI box & car frame to eliminate the structure borne noise. Now quiet ~ stock, unless really stand on the gas; then significant air intake noise.
Good luck.
In response to Al Perkins (username PERK) we would like to simply advise everyone that contrary to Al Perkins post, we have spoken to him about his problem with his intake and he unfortunately has left out the facts of this story.
We've spoken to Al Perkins on a few occasions up to and including September 13, 2006, October 12, 2006 and October 13, 2006. to which he followed up with a fax in his attempts to justify why after 3 months he is entitled to a refund on a product he has modified and installed yet wont accept a replacement.
While we could easily display the entire history of this situation with Al Perkins, we have decided that in the interest of everyone, we would not disclose the information in a public forum.
While it is apparent that there are some issues with some of the Volant Kits (as seen above from our customer robhersch) these issues are out of our control. We do not manufacturer the products. As Rob stated above, he contacted Volant who then shipped him the replacement piece and all was good.
When a customer has a problem with a product, if we are aware of a fix or update that has been released, depending on the manufacturer we refer them directly to the manufacturer. Volant will not issue updated components of their kits to dealers, they prefer to handle them in house; where-as AirAid Filter Company or a number of other manufacturers provide these product updates to their dealers which then makes the entire process easier for everyone involved.
Once a customer has been referred to the manufacturer for the replacement part and we do not hear back from the customer we dont think twice about it.
Then all of a sudden a couple of months have passed and the customer contacts us via FAX requesting a refund because of poor quality, fitment and service that he received from the manufacturer, yet is holding us (dealer) to the fire for a refund for quality control that is not in our control, wont accept a replacement and wants to return a modified, used product well outside ANY return period. We tend to find this a little unreasonable. (Most companies will not accept a return on any product that has been installed in the vehicle. No exceptions / no excuses -period. Most companies wont accept any type of return after 30 days regardless of the reason, let alone 3 months. We do make exceptions on a case by case basis; we have plenty of opened / used intakes in our warehouse to easily support that). However, when you deal with people whom are unreasonable, even more so when they use foul language with us on the telephone, hang up on us, continue to kill tree's which in turn is harassing our fax machine with ridiculous "letters" and insist it is our responsibility for the quality of the product etc etc. Come' on
We have thousands of satisfied customers, occasionally customers have issues with retailers / vendors, we do our best to resolve them. As we all know, once people start airing dirty laundry in forums - especially those people who are brand new to forums or long time members with minimal posts, there is usually another side to the story.
We appreciate the time you took to read this thread.
Should anyone have any questions or would like receive a copy of the "facts" of this situation along with Al Perkins faxes, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Eric & David, I'm still quite pleased with my SRX V8 Volant and with your service as well. I would also say that I have found you folks much more pleasurable to deal with than most auto parts houses, and I will continue to deal with you when I need again. keep up the good work.

78' E21 Project for Sale $2500.00 OBO
I'm new at this! I need to get rid of a January 1978 BMW 320I. Some quick back ground:
- This is a project that needs to be finished
I am the third owner of the car and it has 73K miles on it. It is completely striped and ready for paint. The bottom of the car has been rubber coated completely. I have put on ground control coil overs and bilstein shocks. All new gas lines, accumulator, sending unit and fuel filter as well as freshly cleaned tanks. New braided brake lines all around with drilled front rotors with calipers and pads and brembo rear drums with new pads. All the suspension bushing are all new including control arms, sway bar and trailing arms. All new bearings have been pressed in trailing arms and in front hubs. Rear CV have had a complete rebuild with grease and boots. All suspension is on the car as well as gas tanks and diff. Diff has been completely rebuild as well. Car is a rolling chassis with E-Brake working. The heater unit has been rebuilt with new heater core, blower, bowed cables and new controls. I have all brand new rubber moldings for all windows. I have all new complete front grill, front indicators and rear light indicators. I have the original set (5) BBS 13" wheels. I also have all new chrome pieces for the whole outside of car.

This car is at a good spot for someone to finish and have a great car or build it for the track.
