Every great design school in the world is defined, in part, by the work of its students at any given time. The various project challenges given to a class determine the success of a school's pedagogy, but also the ingenuity of its faculty and students. This book features fifty real-world class assignments from top design programs at universities around the world, and examines the resulting student projects. From undergraduate to graduate work and basic class challenges to final thesis's, students delivered a wide variety of graphic and multimedia design projects from print to motion to exhibition. The book has three functions: 1) To exhibit a wide range of challenging problems and successful solutions. 2) Provide practical models to be inspired by and learn from. 3) Examine how sophisticated design school projects are and what value they have in relation to real-world practice.

I've never seen that exact model of 5.11 Tac Boot before.
She's wearing boots ?:smile:
Why is it that I imagine this is the first photo in a whole spread and by the last photo she is only wearing the boots?
I guess that's why there is no link...
Nice boots.
This isn't fair, if I hoot and holler too much Lima will see it and kick my butt.

What is this Platoon re-visited?
The photos are uploading goofy to the forum gallery.
It has something to do with the way large images are being auto sized down and or compressed when they load to the gallery.
The maximum size for a Bitmap Image is 600 pixels so I cropped and sized this pic down to 600 and uploaded it. I wanted to see if a BMP would load without turning all green & Blue since BMP Images do not get compressed.
You can't beat a woman who shoots!
Is someone trying to sell me something, because I don't really care what it is, I'll buy it, especially if she delivers it to the door.
If this poor girl actually fired that gun in the pose she has assumed, she'd never want to do it again. Back arched, leaning backwards, feet parallel and planted... she'd go over like a house of cards.

The Latest Bi-Partisan Attack on Social Security: Let Them Eat Cat Food
By James Ridgeway
President Obama's Deficit Commission is all smoke and mirrors. Its members are making a big show of laboring over "painful" choices and considering all options in their quest to bring down the deficit. But inside the Beltway everyone knows what's going to happen: The commission will reduce the deficit on the backs of the old and the poor, through cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Some opponents have taken to calling it the Cat Food Commission, since that's what it's victims will be forced to eat once the commission gets done slashing away at their modest entitlements.
In fact, the true intent of the Deficit Commission was evident before it was even formed. That intent was only driven home when Obama appointed as its co-chair Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming who is well known for voicing, in the most colorful terms, what Paul Krugman calls the "zombie lie" that old-age entitlements will soon bankrupt the country.
So why the big show? Because neither Obama nor the Congress wants to get caught cutting Social Security and Medicare in public, certainly not before the November elections. (Medicaid will be cut as well, but politicians tend not to worry so much about poor people, since they don't go to the polls in the numbers we middle-class geezers do.) So instead, they are foisting off this unpleasant task onto the Deficit Commission, showing what the lawyers call "due diligence," sucking their thumbs and pretending to study how to cut the deficit. They've got $1 billion in walk-around money to pay for propaganda so the PR industry ought to be plenty happy. So too, should billionaire Pete Peterson, as he and his foundation lackeys push forward towards a victory in their longstanding attack on so-called "entitlements."
Quite frankly, if the Republican Right could get itself together and shove the Tea Party nuts back into their cave–as Reagan did with the crackpots hanging around him–they too could reap the benefits of the Cat Food Commission's work. Ever since the New Deal, the Right has been kicking and screaming about Social Security. Things just got worse in the 1960s with Medicare and Medicaid. And now, thanks to our supposedly "socialist" president, they are within a few inches of cutting a nice hefty hunk out of the largest social programs this nation.
But just when it looks like the right wingers have collected themselves, the nutcases throw spanners into the works. This time it's not the TeaParty, but economists from the Federal Reserve and intellectuals from NYU and Harvard. Four of these people have united to publish an 8-page paper via Boston College's Center for Retirement Research last month entitled ``What is the Age of Reason?''...

All I need to say is this:
if you're a convicted/suspected thief, the police need a warrant to enter your home.
if you're a convicted/suspected murderer, the police need a warrant to enter your home.
if you're a convicted/suspected pedophile, the police need a warrant to enter your home.
If you have firearms registered in your name... no warrant needed for the police to enter.
Section 102
Now imagine if the police could enter any of your houses without a warrant. All they need is "reasonable" notice, or "reasonable" doubt that you'll allow entry. It's total bullshit.
I want a T97. Sure. At the expensive of other people being able to gun run? No. It's called thinking unselfishly.
And plus, the reclassification issue is not directly related to the registry issue.
Ffs dude. All weapons are deadly. This is just showing how much you are of a fudd. Like saying wet water or icy ice.
The only way they can take away your shit is if they know what you have. Right?
The only way they can know is you tell them or they have a list. Right?
The only way they can take your precious rfb is if they re-class it as prohib and don't grandfather it. Right?
The only way for them to know if you have it is? Tell me.
Your rfb is safe from reclas because there is no more registry. If they do it try to reclas it, they have no way of enforcing it. So stop with that one already.
You were already told that your fantasy scenario about gun running and club shooting with "assault weapons acquired through a legal source" never had cases of happening in Canada and never will.
Those criminals do their shooting with hand guns imported/traded from US. Why the fuck would they buy it here if it's fucking cheaper to trade some weed for it? Your scenario would not work purely based on economics of it.
How are you a gun nut? You got your license after a night of drinking cause it seemed like a cool idea.
I got it because that right does not exist in the country where I came from. I wanted to exercise freedoms offered in Canada. Now you see how I cannot take you bs theories and projections as a valid argument?

You're still obsessing over "gun running". It didn't happen prior to the useless long gun registry, it won't happen after. Any fool that even tries to "gun run" with the POS guns that you're worried about will either end up dead REAL fast or (if they're lucky) find themselves in a cell. Give your head a shake...it's not how the bad guys operate.Originally Posted by CanaganDWith that statement, I can only shake my head, mate. You are naive beyond words.Originally Posted by CanaganD
Not your fault....you're a product of the generation that the Liberals and Wendy Cukier built.
I'm not saying that to insult you, I'm stating it as a fact.
You have a hammer, you could be a potential murderer.
You have hands, you could be a potential strangler.
You have a computer, you could be a potential pedophile in possession of child pornography.
Based on your logic, anyone's house should be open to police searches without warrant. Right now every person in Canada, whether convicted of a crime in the past or not, is protected from unreasonable search. Except firearm owners that registered their guns.
I seriously cannot understand why you have firearms, you call them weapons (which they are not UNLESS you use them as such) and you like giving up your rights to partake in a hobby that you seem scared of.

Dishwasher plumbing mystery
I am replacing my dishwasher. I turned off the hot water supply. It is the one to which the copper supply line to the dishwasher is connected. Why would water flow from the supply line when I turn on the cold water tap? The copper line is not connected to the cold water line.
If the line to the dishwasher doesn't connect directly to a shut-off valve, but connects to the hot water pipe above the valve (between the valve and the faucet), turning the cold water on at the sink faucet can backfeed into the hot water side on some faucets.
Welcome Cathi to the best darn DIY'r site on the web.
Sure sounds like you have a cross connect somewhere on that DW feed line.
if you have a single handled faucet and you open it up in the "warm" position the water will cross through the faucet and come out the supply on the hot side. is the dishwasher on the same shutoff as the faucet? if you have a 2 handle faucet make sure the hot side is turned off.

Can you still buy cheap pleated paper furnace filters?
I'm looking for cheap, pleated paper furnace filters and I can't find them anywhere. I don't want them for my furnace; I want them for building Alton Brown's beef jerky rig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfI0NKl-Kq0). :D
The problem is, the only filters I can find (online, hardware store, big box stores) are at least $8 each and filter out all kinds of allergens. I don't need that kind of filtration here. I'm looking for the $1 paper jobs. Does anyone know if you can still buy them? If so, where might I find them?
Search for "polyester" filters, I haven't seen an actual paper filter for years.
If you want a pleated filter, you won't get one for $0.99.
What he used was the type of filter you see at an orange box. They come singly or in 3 packs. Avoid the 3M filters. Use the cheapest pleated filter they have. Look at a 4 MERV and not the higher rated ones since you want a maximum air flow. They might be able to be used again depending on the contents of the marinade. Since the jerky keeps very well doing a second batch quickly after might be better.
Thanks for the replies. I now see on orange's web site they have a brand called "True Blue" that are supposed to be about $6 for three. That's a reasonable price to me. $6 for one wouldn't be worth it. I did not see those True Blue ones in my store, though their site says the have them at my store.
Grainger carries them.
I got excited because Grainger has them listed for about $6, ship quantity 12. I then came to learn that "ship quantity" means that I have to order 12 of them at $6 each. I definitely do appreciate the suggestion, though.
another Alton Brown fan I see!
Don't know if this is something you're still searching for or not, but we sell Pleated Roll Media...cuts with scissors. Same media found in the MERV8 Pleated filters.
I read, maybe on another forum that the Alton Brown idea might not be a good one. A person who worked for a filter manufacturer said the input side of pleated filters contains lots of small 'bits' of material that can come off. Forget what the 'bits' were but it didn't sound healthy and he didn't recommed using them for that application. Just saying.

Filling concrete cinder blocks
63 Attachment(s)
I'm going to be adding a level to my sunroom to make a walk in closet for the master bedroom. The existing foundation is fieldstone below grade and cinder block above (4 or 5 courses).
I talked to a structural engineer and he said I should fill the open cell cinder blocks with concrete. So the existing sunroom will get demoed to get access to the top of the blocks. The demo not that big of a deal because we were going to restructure for different window placement anyway and it's only 7' x 11'.
Now the questions because I've never done anything with concrete.
What mix do I use or does it come premixed in the bag (add water and voila, you've got concrete)?
Is there any benefit to dropping in vertical pieces of rebar?
Any idea on how much concrete I'll need?
Anything that I'm missing?
You can get ready measured concrete mix and add water and mix. You can mix it in a wheelbarrow or mortar tray with a hoe that has holes in it. For grouting the walls, you want the concrete a little on the loose side to help it flow into the cores. Pour the concrete in lifts and use a stick to remove the air pockets.
Concrete is strong in compression, the rebar is to take care of the tension . The advantage of the rebar is if you can't finish the pour all at once, adding the rebar will give you a continuous connection. I doubt you'll need it in 4-5 courses, for strength, ask the engineer.
Measure the wall and calculate the volume lx wx h for grouting block I divide the width by 2. Convert to yards³. There are approx. 54) 60# bags of redimix per yard.
Layout and install the j bolts for your sill plate before the concrete sets.
Mix the concrete close to the walls, so you don't have to move it too far and get a few friends to help.
63 Attachment(s)
Thanks 47,
What's the spacing on the J-Bolts?
Is there a trick to pouring the concrete into the wall or is it a slow scoop and fill process?
I do not know the required spacing, but on your 11' wall I'd use 4 and on the 7' use 3. If you can, for these short walls, lay out your framing and install the bolts where they'll wind up near the middle of a bay and not under a stud. Use 12" j bolts and leave enough exposed from the concrete for the pt sill, flat and lock washer and nut. For a 2x sill I'll leave the bolts about 2¾" high. The sill seal is usually only 1/4" high, but will compress.
I've always used a spade and shoveled it into the block.
Here on the island Being in the wind zone the Foundation bolts are 5/8" dia. spaced 12" from each end and in from each corner then 4' oc there after.
The rebar should be secured into the footing to be useful.
There should also be wire mesh in between the courses, again, by code.
What you are really doing is grouting a wall. Grout is a concrete mix with no aggregate over 1/4".
Grout must be very wet so it can be poured. To give you an idea, concrete mix is 3-4" slump (from a 12" cone height) and grout must be 8" to 11" slump.
Pour the grout half way, rod it and then pour the next half a hour or so later and rod it. Wait an while for it to settle, top it off after it is settled.
The extra water makes sure the wall is filled completely. the excess water is absorbed by the block, causing the early consolidation or settlement.

I don't know if drilling into the field stone will be possible to secure the rebar. That would require a 36-40" drill bit. Does that exist? I imagine getting access to the bottom portion of the cinder blocks will be difficult as the placement of the blocks are staggered.
Somebody told me to use a concrete vibrator to make sure that all voids are removed. Do I need this or will working it with a stick do the same thing? Is it available for rent?

Ryan Plays Cupid with Surprise Valentine's Day Flower Delivery [PHOTOS]
Ahhhhh Valentine's Day. That special day every February where show the person you love how much you care with some sort of token of affection. This year I decided to help strengthen a few love bonds by acting as delivery man for some lucky people who won free roses from Zeidler's.
The concept was simple, sign up here on the website, tell me who you want me to deliver the flowers to, and I'll take them. The end.
It hit me as our web guru, Ashley, and I made the deliveries that these weren't just flowers I was delivering, these were keys to the gates of heaven, if you know what I'm saying. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that I may be partially responsible for a few new lives that will make their earthly debuts roughly nine months from now. The best part of that being I won't be financially tethered to them for the rest of my life. Win-win for everybody!
Of the five winners, we were only able to get photos with three as one was busy with that whole "work" thing and couldn't come up front to claim them right away, and another that wasn't scheduled to be at work until about an hour later. The three I was able to meet with face-to-face were pleasantly surprised by the gesture, and I'm sure will reward the giver with the appropriate "gift" later on.
Five winners were selected, and none of them knew what was going on, which was the way I wanted it.

fastjet Ticket Sales Launched in Tanzania
Low fares mean more Tanzanians can fly than ever before
13 November 2012, Dar es Salaam - fastjet, Africa's first pan-African low cost airline, launched ticket sales today in Tanzania, ahead of the airline's first commercial flight at the end of this month.
The ticket launch marks a significant milestone in the company's drive to open up air travel to countless Tanzanians who previously could not afford to fly. With air fares starting from as little as 32,000Tsh (USD$20) before government taxes, air travel is now an affordable alternative for more people than ever before.
fastjet, which has taken over Fly540, has chosen Dar es Salaam as its first operating base in Africa, with flights from Julius Nyerere International Airport set to commence on 29 November. As of today, tickets are on sale for flights between Dar es Salaam and
Commenting on the launch of ticket sales, fastjet Chief Executive Ed Winter said:
"This is a historical moment for aviation in Tanzania, and indeed in Africa. Air travel is no longer an exclusive option for a small minority in Tanzania. fastjet will make flying an affordable option for more Tanzanians than ever before, bringing new opportunities for trade, leisure trips, and family visits. We are grateful to our partners in Tanzania for their support to date, and we look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with the people of Tanzania."
Tickets can be purchased through travel agents and fastjet's own sales desk, call centre and offices. fastjet's new web site www.fastjet.com will launch next week providing information on routes and fare schedules. The site will also soon allow tickets to be bought using credit/debit cards, as well as by mobile phone.
Unveiling the fastjet Brand
fastjet has also unveiled its new brand ahead of the launch of commercial flights. The company's brand features the 'kasuku' or African Grey Parrot, selected for its renowned intelligence, friendliness, and personification of fastjet's motto: smart travel. This week will also see the launch of fastjet's social media platforms through Facebook and Twitter, providing forums for customers and stakeholders to engage, interact, and share views with the company online.
Richard Bodin, fastjet's Chief Commercial Officer, said:
"One of fastjet's key characteristics is our openness. We want to bridge the gap between the consumer and the airline by making sure that wherever possible we are engaging in two-way conversations and listening to the consumer's needs and priorities. Social media is a great way to achieve this – platforms like Twitter and Facebook allow us to interact directly with consumers, helping us to understand each other better, and for fastjet to keep in touch with the our most important stakeholder's evolving needs and preferences."
The airline now has three Airbus A319s as part of its fleet. All three aircraft are in the process of being painted with the fastjet livery before being dispatched to Tanzania ready for the launch of commercial flights later this month.

Four different Bulls scored a goal in the 4-1 victory over Cincinnati to help USF improve to in 2-1-1 in conference games. "I think we came in a bit nervous in the first half, and then in the second half we came out with an attitude," said Sharla Passariello. "The second half was more of us controlling the tempo." The Bulls outshot the Bearcats 23-13 for the game. Cincinnati scored the lone goal of the first half to take a 1-0 lead on a shot that sailed off of the hand of freshman keeper Christiane Endler. USF stuck fast in the second half. Passariello picked up her fifth goal of the season less than one minute into the second half to tie the game at 1-1. "I was really glad that she was able to make the adjustments," said head coach Denise Schile-Brown. "She was phenomenal." The Bulls were able to take a 2-1 lead on a header by Demi Stokes delivered by Passariello. "It's really fun to see them score goals," said Schilte-Brown. USF continued to pile on the goals. Olivia Chance scored the third goal of the night for the Bulls, and Daniela Andrade recorded her first goal of the season to give the Bulls a 4-1 lead with minutes remaining in the match.

Our Stories
Visionary Patrons: Maureen Ryan and Erik Hepler's Story
Housing Works has been able to thrive and grow because of generous donors like Maureen Ryan and Erik Hepler, a tremendously giving couple who have been involved with Housing Works since the beginning—Erik since the time the organization was founded—and Maureen since she married Erik in 1999. They each individually have been committed to supporting HIV/AIDS related causes for much of their lives, and are especially committed to the work that Housing Works does not only within the HIV affected, but also the homeless community. We spoke to Maureen and Erik to learn about their dedication to altruism, and their tips for others who want to give back.
How long have you been giving to Housing Works?
Erik: My first encounters with Housing Works were before Maureen and I ever met.
I've been donating since the very beginning of Housing Works at the time it was founded. That's got to be over 20 years at this point. Back in the beginning, they were obviously very small, and to watch them grow, and see what they've been able to continue to do has been nothing short of outstanding. For a lot of groups, it's hard for them to get started and to keep going, but Housing Works never lost sight of anything, and has grown to be a very important group starting from almost nothing in the beginning from when Charles and Keith formed this out of the ashes of the housing committee of Act Up.
Maureen has more of a personal concern in the HIV area than I do. Mine was less personal, but was one of the areas that I devoted my time and money to. The needs of my demographic are not necessarily that big, so it is important to give to other areas, where the need is much greater.
Maureen: When I married my husband in 1999, I got involved with Housing Works.
I'm always interested in any AIDS related charity, as I lost a cousin to AIDS in 1996.
In what ways do you support Housing Works?
Maureen: Most of our support has been financial. When we tell people about the charities that we support, we always bring Housing Works front and center. I think that sadly it's not one of the more popular charities, so I think they need an even higher profile. If you can do that for them, then that's the way to go.
Why Housing Works?
Erik: One great thing about Housing Works is that they never hesitate to stick up for what they believe no matter what it cost them. Anyone willing to do that needs support, because they are doing the important thing, and not kowtowing to what anyone thinks they need, even if it does hurt their ability to get funds from the government.
Maureen: You're dealing with the dual issue of homelessness and people living with AIDS. Even still, people think that homeless people are people who won't "just go get a job" and "people with AIDS are in that situation because of their lifestyle." That's just wrong and uninformed. Everybody would like to find a cure for cancer, and everybody can get behind that, but I don't think everybody is always aware that this is a problem that is just as important and just as needy, if not more so. I think that for a lot of people, this is an unpopular charity topic.
Why do you think that is?
Maureen: I think there's a still a huge stigma about AIDS. I think that there are people who don't care about the subsets of people who get AIDS, so they're not going to be as motivated to donate to those types of charities. And for those exact reasons, you need more support.
We have a lot of charities that we try to help out to the best of our ability. We continue to believe one person can make a difference. A lot of people need help especially in this economy, and this political climate, who knows what's going to happen in the next three years, what other funding they're going to cut.
If you don't mind, can you talk about your personal tie with the topic of AIDS?
Maureen: My cousin Johnny died of AIDS. We have an interesting family history. I was born in the U.S., so was my cousin Johnny a few years after me. My mom was born in Cuba. Johnny's immediate family actually went back to Cuba in 1966. In Cuba—for lack of a better term—you're not allowed to be gay. They send you to a psychiatrist for two years and you're "cured", or they put you in jail. He was very persecuted. We finally got him out of Cuba in 1980. He was desperate to come back to the United States because he remembered it from when he was little, and he could finally for the first time, be himself. Soon after, he became infected, and sadly he missed the cocktail by just a matter of months. His partner of 11 years went on the cocktail and he's still with us today. That was really heartbreaking for us because we got him out of Cuba, and we lost him again.
That's my family connection. I have friends today who are HIV + who are with us, and it's a tough life. It's one that involves taking a lot of medications, and it's not easy. You add homelessness to that issue, and it's even tougher.
Erik: Everybody has some sort of a personal connection with AIDS/HIV, but the HIV issue was always an area that I was very concerned about. I had worked on a few pro bono cases, one involving Charles [King] at the time that he was founding Housing Works, enlisting a particular part of the community that wasn't getting addressed by other people. I thought it was a great idea.
What would you say to others who want to start giving back, but aren't sure how?
Erik: There is lots of work that needs to be done. There's tough stuff, there's simple stuff; you can even work at the thrift shops and give back, or more hands-on volunteering. I give a lot more money now because I have a lot more money now, but I always gave money. People with limited incomes often give a percentage of what they make. Every little bit helps. Time is also enormously valuable to give too.
Why is altruism important to you?
Erik: It's just part of how life works. There's a certain social contract that's out there, and it's up to us to behave well. Those who can give more should give more to those who have less. That's the only way that the world that we want to live in can work.blog comments powered by Disqus

text: Volkswagen HyPower and SunFuel Test Vehicles Share Comments Wolfsburg, Germany – The hydrogen fuel cell can progress to being the drive design for a new era within two decades. Together with the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Volkswagen has demonstrated the status quo of the current level of technological development with a Bora HY.POWER driven by a hydrogen PSI fuel cell and an electric engine on the 2005 meter high Simplon Pass (Switzerland/Italy) in an extreme conditions test. The new technology platform has been developed by Volkswagen's research unit in cooperation with our project and technology partner ó the PSI in Switzerland working closely together with the Federal Technical University of Zurich (ETH) and the German FEV Motortechnik GmbH in Aachen. The new Bora prototype was proven to have new qualities especially with regard to driving dynamics. This was achieved largely due the use of a new PSI fuel cell generation and the so-called Supercaps. This involves two high-performance condenser modules that output a considerable power boost in the peak phases of vehicle operation, for example, overtaking. This briefly provides the electric motor (255 Nm maximum torque) with 74 kW / 102 hp. This peak power enables the Bora HY.POWER to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in only 12 seconds. The Supercaps accumulate up to 360 watthours which are generated and stored by converting braking energy. The fuel cell uses a new cost-effective bipolar plate design comprising of 125 individual cells. The manufacturing process which bypasses several basic steps is especially cost-effective. The core element of every cell is the membrane. This is positioned between the anode and the cathode. Hydrogen and oxygen react with each other and form water above the thin membrane. This ìcoldî combustion gives off electrical energy. The ìexhaustî is nothing other than clean steam. The so-celled Nafion® membranes are used in nearly every commercially-available fuel cell. However, the manufacture of this perfluoroal polymer is relatively expensive. The PSI is now developing a membrane that is more cost-effective in terms of potential and has a long operating life. Volkswagen and the PSI have made a great step towards the aim of making fuel cells affordable for the private customer. During the test drive Volkswagen used a Bora TDI using SunFuel® for the first time. This synthetic sulfur and aromatic-free fuel has enormous potential for improving vehicle emissions. At today's level of technical development, many diesels with SunFuel® already comply to the strict EU IV norm without any technical modifications to the vehicle. The Bora TDI, which already complies with the EU IV norm when using conventional fuels, can attain exhaust values that were not thought possible with SunFuel®. The particle measurements lay in the range of results usually found with vehicles with expensive filter technology. In future, SunFuel® will be manufactured from renewable raw materials and will therefore be CO2 neutral. As this process is still being developed, Volkswagen is currently using SunFuel® manufactured from otherwise burned-off natural gas. The great advantage of synthetic production of fuel is the possibility of using a large number of charge materials while attaining a constantly high degree of quality. As well as being used in piston engines, SunFuel® can also be used as a secondary energy source for operating fuel cells. SunFuel® can be used independently of fossil fuel energy sources either on or off-board via a reformer to create hydrogen for fuel cell operation. SunFuel® is part of Volkswagen's overall strategy for the next 20 years which foresees, among other steps, by fully exploiting the potential of petrol and diesel engines the gradual introduction of economically and environmentally viable fuel cell-powered vehicles.

text: Manufacturers have been getting tougher on dealers for years, but not without cause or reason. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that blame things on dealerships and attempt to file false claims for damages. With the photos they have proof of the condition of the vehicle when the customer dropped it off. Harley-Davidson dealers, at least the ones in MD, have been taking photos of the bikes, before accepting the vehicle from the customer, to protect the dealerships and the manufacturer from false claims. I don't think there is anything unusual about the dealership taking photos of the car. Just my 2cents

KOBE – Police on Wednesday arrested a truck driver for allegedly causing a six-car passenger train to derail the day before in Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture, leaving 15 people injured.
All six cars of the Sanyo Electric Railway Co. train left the tracks.
Keiichiro Endo, 36, was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of negligent driving resulting in injuries.
The police alleged that Endo drove his 9.6-meter-long car-carrier through the crossing even though there wasn't enough room on the other side, leaving the truck's rear end in the path of the oncoming eastbound train.
Endo has admitted to the allegation, police sources claimed.
He has told the police that when his truck was going over the crossing, a car ahead of his vehicle stopped at a red light.
Endo stopped as well, but the rear part of his truck remained inside the crossing and was hit by the special rapid service train.
Yuya Kakudo, the 34-year-old driver of the train, suffered a broken leg. Thirteen passengers on the train and Endo sustained minor injuries.
The train was heading for Umeda Station in the city of Osaka after departing Himeji Station. After the collision, the train continued on for more than 100 meters before stopping.
The motorman told the police that his train was about 50 meters from the crossing when he saw the trapped vehicle. He said he applied the brakes, but it was too late.
About 70 passengers were on the train at the time of the accident. All of those injured were on the front or second car.
The grade crossing and the traffic light are only about 10 meters apart. Traffic is heavy in the area, where there are many houses and factories.
The transport ministry said the crossing gate and security alarm were functioning at the time.
Sanyo Electric Railway, based in Kobe, operates the railway line linking Kobe and Himeji.
Operations between Takasago and Oshio stations were still suspended Wednesday, affecting about 85,000 passengers.

Reported cases in Japan of hand, foot and mouth disease, a viral illness commonly found in children, have topped 130,000 since the beginning of the year, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases said Tuesday.
According to the institute, 133,802 people had been sickened as of July 28. In the week from July 22, the number of patients reached 27,773. The disease has been reported across the country but mostly in the greater Tokyo area, the institute said.
The infection usually peaks in the summer, with infants aged 5 or younger accounting for 90 percent of the total, according to the health ministry.
Within a few days of infection, usually through saliva, sufferers develop blisters of about 2 to 3 mm in size on their hands and feet as well as inside their mouths. Fever is not a common symptom of the illness.
The virus can still be found in feces long after recovery. It is therefore important to wash hands well after using the toilet or touching soiled diapers. It is also important not to share towels at nurseries and other facilities for infants.
In rare cases, complications such as meningitis and encephalitis occur as a result of the disease.
If symptoms of complications, such as headaches, vomiting, high fever lasting more than two days, or unfocused vision are detected in the first few days of infection, a doctor should be seen immediately.

We stayed the weekend for an event at the SECC.
Great distance from the venue, free parking all weekend, very clean room. Not a huge amount of space in room but I can't complain, it met all expectations otherwise & I hope to return again next year. Happy customer.

Stayed here overnight after attending a Kevin Bridges show at the Hydro because it was very convenient and reasonably priced.
Room had everything we needed for our stay including a sofa bed therefore convenient for a third person to stay if you had been in a group of friends and at no extra cost. Staff were very friendly and helpful and we had a good nights sleep. Breakfast choice wasn't the best Choice I have seen but it was adequate, fresh and good value for money. I would stay there again if attending an event in or around the SECC.

Don't bother with breakfast
Room dated.
Little bit of modernisation would go a long way. Staff brilliant and can't fault them. Why do hotels not provide toilet brushes?. Stayed over with a new boyfriend and was mortified when my Chinese from the nice restaurant across the road made an appearance and I couldn't hide the devastation in the bathroom. Pebble dash everywhere. Please give us loo brushes. Breakfast... Dick Turpin wore a mask. Warmed up stuff doesn't really hit the mark. My new boyfriend said the sausage tasted like lard and the bacon was barely cooked but left to warm up. My veggie version was pretty poor. McDonalds would have been a better option for us and we hate McDonalds.
Staff need to be paid more to put up with the shame of working in a dated hotel with mediocre food.

Great Hotel. So near SECC and city centre
Had a great weekend at the Campanile.
Staff were so friendly and helpful and the room was very comfortable and clean. No more than two minutes to the SECC which came in very useful when coming out in the rain and going back to hotel. Going back to SECC in November and hope to be able to use the Campanile again.

Really well situated for Hydro.
Would stay again
Very pleased with the accommodation.
It was clean, comfortable and modern. The air conditioning could be controlled using a handy panel on the wall and although it was a tad noisy, it could be turned down at will. The window also opened which was a bonus and the area on a Friday night/Saturday morning was not especially noisy. The bed, a king size, was very comfortable although only one additional pillow was available so my husband had to make do with just the standard one. The cooked breakfast was from a self serve and could have been warmer but it might have been there a while. It looked as though it was ready to be restocked when we arrived. The car parking on site was a factor in choosing this hotel as my husband is disabled. Overall it was a very enjoyable stay and I would consider staying again.

Room badly in need of an upgrade -complete redecoration.Bathroom tatty with a shower that did not regulate properly.
Cleanliness in bathroom was poor.
I had to clean the toilet seat before use, and there was a build up of dirt on top of the toilet paper dispenser and around the toilet flush push button. The toilet seat was also loose. Linen was clean, although smelled strongly of dry cleaning chemicals. Breakfast buffet stocked plentifully, although the rolls didn't seem particularly fresh, and the bacon rashers were all stuck together. The sausages were low grade. The cruets on my table were also grubby. Dirtiness and stale baked goods spoiled what should have been a decent budget hotel.

Excellent location for,hydro and SECC.
The staff were so friendly. Room very clean. Only downside is that the bathroom was showing early signs of lack of maintenance. I don't like to,see black mould in corners of shower rooms. That aside, I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
So was doing an inspection of my 2012 WK2 Overland and noticed that the rear brow seemed to be pulling away from the tailgate on the driver's-side near the tail lamp. Upon closer inspection (that included pulling the rear brow cover off), I found that there are 2 bolts (1 on left & 1 on right) that help hold the bracket onto the tailgate...and the black bracket was trying to separate from the bolt (plastic is cracked around bolt, as if it was torqued too much at the factory).
So, looks like I need a replacement bracket...only problem is, I can't find a Part# by which to order one...the dealer could not find a Part# either, even after calling engineering for help.
That being said...does anybody out there know the Part# for this plastic bracket??
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
you have to buy a new brow
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
I have an extra chrome brow I can sell you. Send me a pm if you're interested and we can work something out.
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
@jgc4ever...Thanks, but I do not need a new Brow...what I need is a new Bracket that the Brow attaches to (the Black plastic behind the Brow).
@Scott...if I understand you correctly, you are implying that I have to buy a new Brow from dealer as it will include a new Bracket as well, as part of the replacement kit??
...Let me know
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
If the replacement Bracket comes with a new Brow from Jeep dealer, and anyone has a new Bracket leftover from the kit (that is for a 2012 Overland w/Rear Cam)...let me know & we can work something out (if cheaper than dealer)...Thanks!!
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
I have a rear bracket...but not with camera...sorry
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
Scott...do the brackets come with new cameras as well, or just a place for mounting the existing camera?? I ask, due to the fact that I don't need another camera, just a new Bracket that is ready to accept my existing camera. I can transfer all the other existing parts to a new Bracket, I just need a Bracket that is ready to be used as a transplant.
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
Here's some OEM rear brow part numbers, these include the bracket that mounts to the tailgate and the painted brows..... That the only way Jeep sells them. The XAC sales code just means the bracket has a hole for a backup camera if your WK2 is equipped that way.
The rear "Trailhawk edtion" (sales code MJF) License Plate Brows;
**"Liftgate Handle" or rear brow {MFJ} Production Code, Mineral Gray
{GX4, Keyless Enter & Go} {XAC Rear Backup Camera}
Mopar part # 5LL22CDMAA MSRP $242.00 Dealer Cost $145.00
The rear "Altitude Edition" (sales code AHG) License Plate Brows;
**5LL22AXRAA, MSRP $242.00 Cost $145.00 PXR paint code (Brilliant Black) w/XAC back-up camera sales code
**5LL22DX8AA, MSRP $242.00 Cost $145.00 "Gloss Black" PX8 paint code w/XAC back-up camera sales code
**1ZV27AXRAA, MSRP $207.00 Cost $124.00 PXR paint code (Brilliant Black) without back-up camera, (No hole!)
**1ZV27DX8AA MSRP $214.00 Cost $126.00 "Gloss Black" PX8 paint code without back-up camera.
I'm not sure if the "regular" chrome, non painted brows, are cheaper or what OEM parts #'s for them would be??
The bracket/brows I don't think come with the camera. ...just a cutout
Re: Part # for rear brow Bracket??...
I think what you refer to is sold as all one piece. I have the brow with bracket with camera-cutout.

When a blaze occurred in the Glasgow home of the TV pair, Felix raised the alarm, by constantly meowing.
Apparently, sunlight had bounced off a goldfish bowl and acted as a giant magnifying glass, causing a table in the lounge to burst into flames.
Felix is the first animal to receive the Scottish Executive's Don't Give Fire a Home fire safety award.
It was established last year and recognises heroic efforts in the face of fire.
On Friday, Felix was presented with a special certificate, a specially branded medal and a new food bowl by representatives from Strathclyde Fire Brigade.
"The Don't Give Fire A Home Award is a happy ending to a potentially tragic tale.
"Felix is recognised for his brave endeavours, our fish Bits and Bob have cooled down and are now swimming around happily, and we luckily escaped the consequences of our home being damaged by fire.
"If there's a lesson here it's that you should always assess your home for
likely causes of fire, however unusual.
"As interior designers, we fully understand how devastating it would be to lose one's home and valuable possessions.
"We won't be nearly as complacent about the risk of fire from now on."
Top tips
Stephen McKee of Strathclyde Fire Brigade said that Felix was a "very worthy recipient" of the award.
He said: "Admittedly, when we conceived the award, we had human acts of bravery in mind, but as soon as we heard this story we knew that the cat should be honoured.
"We strongly urge people to look more closely at the risk of fire in their homes, as fires can be caused by everything from sunlight reflections to seemingly innocent household items such as night candles, mobile phone chargers and tumble driers.
"If Felix's actions inspires people to re-assess their home's safety, then his heroism will truly know no bounds."
The Don't Give Fire A Home campaign has just launched its new website and home risk assessment leaflet, Your Guide to Fire Safety, which helps identify potential fire hazards in the home.
The guide will be distributed by all eight Scottish fire brigades and copies of the booklet can be downloaded online.
People can also text FIRE to 84118 to have a copy of the leaflet delivered.

Does my '06 Z4 have bluetooth?
2 Attachment(s)
Hi folks,
New owner, new poster, but firstly thank you all for keeping such a great forum going, and helping me (albeit, passively!) during my search and purchase of my 2006 2.0 ISE E85 N46 21.:)
My steering wheel has Radio/Phone controls for what i assume is bluetooth, but having trawled the manuals and mashed every button on the radio, I see no way of connecting a phone. There's no cables or ports in any of the cubbies, and so I'm left wondering - do I have a nice steering wheel with lots of useless buttons?!
Any help, greatly appreciated...
Congrats on your car and welcome to the group!
I don't know about your non-M, but for an M Bluetooth was part of the BMW Assist that came with the Premium Package. Premium Package also included Cruise Control and 8-way power seats with driver side memory.
I had an 06 Z4 3.0 non-M. If I remember correctly, once I set my cell phone to "discovery mode", I think but I cannot remember completely, but I think once my Z presented a code number in the radio display... I think that I then entered that number into the field that automatically appeared on my cell phone.
Try this. Maybe this was how I paired my phone. It was 7 years ago and gave up the Z4 in 2008... Yes, I am sorry that I gave it up.
This might also help. There should be a tag on the Bluetooth device, according to the below post that should have the pairing code on it.

I had a weird electrical short the other night. I have a 2 years lcd Lilliput 7'' touchscreen that burned up the 12 volt power wire, like up in smoke, melting to the carpet problem. I thought that since I had tapped into a switched 12 volts it would be fused by the cars fuse panel. Well it was not! There also is a old school glass fuse in the inline power filter, it did not blow either. The good news is that the back light still works, and the RCA video-in still works ( I can use it as a TV monitor ). The bad news is that when I try to use the VGA-in, I get the no video signal message and it powers down. Has this happened to anyone else? Can this be fixed? If so, will the cost be more than buying a new Lilliput? Any info would be great.

Aicha el-Wafi
Aicha el-Wafi is an activist with the French feminist group Ni Putes Ni Soumise, working with Muslim women.
Her son, Zacarias Moussaoui, was tried in relation to the September 11, 2011 World Trade Center attacks. In 2006, Moussaoui received a life sentence for his role in the terrorist activities. He is the only person thus far to be directly charged in relation to the attacks.
In November 2002, Phyllis Rodriguez, whose 31 year-old son died in the attacks, along with several other relatives of victims of the attacks, were invited to meet el-Wafi. el-Wafi and Rodriguez formed a strong bond and began to work with the Forgiveness Project, among other organizations. Rodriguez and el-Wafi have since appeared together throughout the United States and Europe, telling their story of reconciliation and forgiveness.
On October 3, 2007, el-Wafi and Rodriguez jointly received the Die Quadriga Award as "role models for reconciliation." The award is presented every year on the anniversary of German re-unification to political, economic, and cultural personalities who show vision, courage, and responsibility. The two also appeared together in 2010 TED talk.

An inquest opening into the death of Peter Boatman, 57, director of operations for Pro-Tect Systems, heard that post-mortem examinations are awaiting toxicology and histology tests.
No members of Mr Boatman's family were present during the short hearing at Northampton General Hospital. The coroner adjourned the inquest to a date to be fixed.
Mr Boatman was found dead at his home in Reynard Way, Kingsthorpe, Northampton, on Friday, just three days after the Home Office revoked Pro-Tect Systems' licence to import and sell Tasers.
The move came after it emerged that the firm breached the terms of its licence by supplying X12 Tasers, which were still being tested by Government scientists, directly to police involved in the Moat manhunt.
On Friday, Mr Boatman's business partner said the former police officer was "destroyed" by the furore.
Pro-Tect's managing director Kevin Coles said there was "no doubt" his colleague's apparent suicide was linked to the week's events.
He said: "He was a proud man and he felt ashamed at recent developments.
"He spent all his life involved in officer safety and what happened was a result of him being worried about the welfare of officers. He knew there was something there that would offer the officers protection and that was what his motive was.
"The furore over it destroyed him."

On a typical day, you'd be more likely to find University of Montana students going to bed at 4:30 in the morning after a long night of studying or partying than waking up. Such was not the case on Wednesday, Feb. 5, when a group of UM students squeezed into two minivans to make an early morning trip to Helena in the midst of a harsh blizzard.
The occasion that roused these students long before the sun was the 8 a.m. meeting of the Montana Legislature's Education Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee. The eyes of the students huddled inside the minivans revealed exhaustion, but as the sun came out, the eyes became focused, all aware that the fate of their university hung in the balance.
Inside Helena's Capitol building, the students from Missoula were greeted by counterparts from the University's other branches: Montana Tech, Montana Western and the Helena College of Technology. The students quickly took seats in the chambers below soft fluorescent lights, a sea of microphones and cords and a legislative subcommittee that entered the room gradually, the way someone might right before announcing that your grandfather has died. No one in the room appeared eager to talk about funding cuts to the system, but that was the order of the day. UM President George Dennison began the discussion, summing up the problem succinctly.
"Despite the best efforts of the University, the Legislature and the executive branch, general fund support has not kept pace with inflation…In 2004, we will receive less state funding than we did in 1992, even as the cost of educating a student has increased, and must increase, in line with inflation."
Dennison's statements are based on the assumption that the Legislature will vote, as expected, to cap spending on Montana's university system at year 2000 levels. The "size of the problem" at the Missoula campus alone, Dennison said, would be a $14.2 million shortfall. To add perspective to that number, Dennison explained that such a regressive budget would require cutting 136 positions at the Missoula campus, or 29 percent of all current programs. Alternately, it would require a drastic hike in tuition costs or some combination of the three options.
John Swan, President of UM-Missoula's Associated Students of UM, urged the committee not to allow such cuts or tuition increases to become necessary.
"Growing up in Rocky Boy, I had a tribal elder tell me, 'Before colonization, Indian communities were dependent upon the buffalo. The buffalo provided food, housing, tools, medicine—provided, basically, a way of life and survival. After contact, we lost the buffalo. We needed to find something new. Education became our buffalo.'"
Drawing on the buffalo analogy, Steve Hoyle, CEO and dean of the Helena College of Technology, explained what 2000 spending levels would do to his school.
"We would have to eliminate two administrative and support positions, but compared to the national average with the size of the institution that we have, we are already short 12 support personnel to do the national average work to help us build those buffalo herds," said Hoyle.
"You can't shoot the buffalo and grow your herd at the same time," he added.
Dan Berube serves as the chairman for the local executive board of Montana Tech in Butte, and is the former chairman of Montana Power. Berube called reduced state expenditures for higher education "shortsighted."
"Continuing these trends can only produce bad effects such as making higher education more elitist," Berube said.
While Berube and other administrators discussed the implications of the budget cuts from a financial and institutional standpoint, the UM students who trekked to Helena in minivans spoke on a more personal level, attempting to give the legislators faces to attach to the figures.
Students, administrators and legislators alike conceded that tuition increases appear all but inevitable. Sarah Cobler, the ASUM student lobbyist and a former liberal studies/environmental studies student at UM, indicated what education meant to her, and how the cuts would effect people like herself.
"I was lucky as a student…I received academic scholarships. But with these scholarships I still worked thirty hours per week. At $6 an hour, if you take out taxes, I'm making about 500 bucks a month. Now I had to pay rent, presumably I bought food…I don't have a car still to this day and I certainly wasn't living life in the fast lane. If we make the philosophic choice to not support public higher education, students like myself will be priced out. There's no doubt about it," Cobler said.
The long work hours combined with schoolwork described by Cobler trouble Paul Haber, UM professor of political science. Haber testified before the committee that "Carrying a full course load and working long hours is not conducive to a quality education for most people. I see a few particularly…talented people pull it off, however I don't think we can make good public policy based on…unusual people," Haber said.
The legislative subcommittee was sympathetic to the plight of the students, but explained that it is caught between a rock and a hard place.
Committee chairman Rep. Don Hedges (R-Antelope) presented the government's predicament: "We have three choices. We can put the funding of the University on the back of the University through closing programs or raising tuition. We can take money from the Coal Trust savings account, or we can go out and raise property or income taxes…Which would you recommend to us?"
Perhaps the most notable indicator of the quality of UM education under current funding levels came from political science major and ASUM representative Matt Jennings, who creatively responded to Hedges' question by putting forth an option that Hedges had not discussed.
"I think there are certain sources of revenue that we can look at to help out students like myself and Montana families without raising income taxes, and those are the vice taxes, which, combined with certain [university] budget cuts, I think could get us through the next couple of years until we can hope for better economic times," Jennings said.

Re: radiator part #
Re: radiator part #
YES, that is correct ... it has the LC3 (4.4L s/c N*) engine and V08 (heavy duty cooling) options associated with it
the side tank will have a trans cooler
it is the only radiator for the LC3 engine
