New Molecular Superglue Was Inspired By Flesh-Eating Bacteria
Biochemists created a protein used by bacteria to bind and invade human cells and made a glue that binds molecules together.
Researchers at Oxford University have developed a really strong superglue that can stick molecules together and not let go. It was inspired by a protein from a type of bacteria that can cause deadly infections like flesh-eating disease. The molecular glue could have many applications in the research lab and the wider scientific community.
Dr. Mark Howarth and graduate student Bijan Zakeri at the Department of Biochemistry developed the superglue by engineering Streptococcus pyogenes, a protein used by bacteria to bind and invade human cells. The protein has a 3D structure with strong chemical bonds that form in an instant and bind together with exceptional strength. The biochemists engineered the protein to split and reform, nicknaming the larger fragment 'SpyCatcher' and the shorter protein segment, 'SpyTag'. Once they get hold of each other, they never let go, and will stick together in test tube reactions or inside cells, without sticking to other things.
The ability to attach SpyCatcher and SpyTag onto other molecules you want to glue together could have many applications. For example, sticking all the enzymes involved in a chemical process into a small factory could speed reactions and increase yields. Or you might want to bring all the elements together that plants use to turn sunlight into energy with only water as a waste product. Scientists have long wanted to come up with ways of achieving photosynthesis artificially for useable green energy.

Hi everyone:
By now, we are all aware of the various things that are happening in relation to Volkswagen diesels and the emission control issue. We are seeing a ton of threads pop up about the various aspects of it, and I just wanted to lay down a couple of guidelines:
- Discussion of "Dieselgate" and all of the various aspects thereof is perfectly fine
- It's ok to have several different threads about different aspects of it in TCL at the same time, so long as:
- Each thread is about a separate sub-topic
- There aren't multiple threads about one subtopic
Basically, it's fine to have one thread about the thing in general, one thread about the lawsuits, one thread about Winterkorn leaving, etc. Four threads about Winterkorn is probably a bit much.
This whole thing is moving very rapidly at the moment, and as it develops there will be plenty to discuss. So please, just have a look through the various topics before you post a new thread, just in case there's already one covering your topic.

THE Ricoh Arena in Coventry has taken the first step to becoming the first cashless stadium in British sport.
German company payment solution AG have signed an agreement with the venue to introduce the pioneering new technology.
Coventry Citys home Championship game with Plymouth Argyle on Saturday marked the debut of the introduction of the first phase of the new system.
Supporters were able to purchase food and beverages from stadia outlets using a special customized card and cut down on waiting times, rather than having to rely on traditional cash.
Munich-based payment solution AG, with its subsidiary payment solution services Ltd. are a leading company in the supply of the technology and have already implemented a system at the RheinEnergie Stadium in Cologne - a venue of the FIFA World Championship 2006 - under the brand name of justpay.
Heinz-Peter Strömsdorfer, sales and marketing director of payment solution AG, said: We are delighted to welcome the Ricoh Arena on board as the first British venue to become truly cashless.
Our intention is to remove cash entirely from the venue and at the same time offer many more interesting functionalities in respect of CRM and commercialization as well as various integration possibilities such as ticketing and access.
Our business model is to provide full on-site support and remove the operational burden completely from the client.
The business model of payment solutions AG requires no investment by the client. The whole package covers all related cost including payment system technology, personnel, payment clearing and cards.
All financial and legal services plus comprehensive knowledge in stadium consulting are included in the total concept.
Daniel Gidney, CEO of the Ricoh Arena said: We were very impressed by the credentials of payment solution AG and are excited about the challenge of working with them on this project for the benefit of all visitors to the Ricoh Arena. We constantly strive to supply the best possible visitor experience for all our guests and going cashless is a major step forward. The first game went very well from a technical point of view which is a credit to everyone involved.
Payment solution AG
Payment solution AG provides complete and truly integrated payment solutions for stadiums, arenas, theme parks and other venues for leisure & entertainment.
Using multi-functional customer cards based on RFID contact-less chip technology and comprehensive management software, the system ensures the seamless interaction of all relevant components such as ticketing, access, point-of-sale, parking, etc.
Through increased convenience for guests and visitors, faster transactions and enhanced marketing options, operating stadia enjoy higher revenues and profits.

Nancy and John's Wedding
"We were their first wedding, although they have done many parties and events. The location is set up perfectly for a wedding reception. There is an upstairs private room that looks like an old library with books lining the walls and a bar. Off of that is the mezzanine that overlooks the gorgeous building. An impressive location for your reception. They were absolutely wonderful to us and went above and beyond to make our reception a day we would never forget. I got endless compliments on the food and service from the kind folks at the Bank. I couldn't have been happier. Their wedding coordinator, Maegan is incredible. She prices very fairly, too. It is a great deal for everything you get. You don't even need to hire a DJ because they have a sound system and ipod compatible facility. I can't think of any better place in Richmond to have your reception if you are looking for something unique, downtown, and in your budget. I highly recommend having your wedding reception at the Bank. You won't be disappointed."

An Investment Opinion
X Marks the Index Fund Spot
Oh, the heresy of it all. It has been a staple of the Foolish philosophy to sing the praises of Vanguard's 500 Index Fund. Short of picking out individual stocks to buy and hold, it is easy to embrace the indexing concept. It is that mysterious, unmanaged benchmark that an astounding amount of actively managed mutual funds fail to edge out over the long haul.
Vanguard originated the index fund. Their version remains the largest. But, more importantly, it has respected the investor by charging rock-bottom expense ratios along the way. Last year, the fund costs charged came out to a scant 0.18% of assets. Some competing funds have often taken to waiving a portion of their fees to play in Vanguard's ballpark. The investment community has become too educated to accept high fees on what are essentially unmanaged portfolios.
You can't get much lower than eighteen paltry basis points. That's just $5.40 a year off Vanguard's $3,000 minimum initial investment during a hypothetically flat market. An upstart might absorb costs in the near term to draw in new accounts, down to nil even, but it could never commit to a policy so cost-prohibitive.
Until now. In November, StockJungle.com began offering an S&P 500 Index fund that supposedly doesn't charge management fees. The catch? None. On the surface. But ideally, StockJungle would probably want you to eventually become an active member of its online community and receptive to the company's other financial products -- including three other mutual funds that do charge management fees (of 1.00% in all three cases).
The $5,000 minimum investment does not make the weighing station at the door any more attractive than Vanguard. There is also the legitimate concern that the fund is too small to mimic the index effectively. Since the fund is not big enough to own appropriately weighted stakes in the 500 companies that make up the index, StockJungle is merely buying S&P Depositary Receipts (AMEX: SPY).
I can't knock these receipts, which are more commonly known as Spiders. Our Rule Breaker Portfolio owned them through the first half of 1998 as a proxy for the market rather than hoard away cash until the next buy decisions would be made.
But it is not a true index fund that way. It's like a powdered milk milkshake or an Eggbeaters omelet. The fund is also small, presently holding just 4000 depositary receipts. I've seen more spiders in a dilapidated mansion. With just over a half million dollars in assets, inefficiencies are bound to occur as the company times its round lot purchases. As of yesterday the fund had lost 4.8% year to date. Meanwhile, Vanguard's fund -- like the dividend-adjusted S&P 500 itself -- is down 5.3%.
Good for StockJungle? Not really. If its fund can't lose as much as the S&P 500 during down periods, what hope is there that it can be managed to gain as much as the index when the market rebounds? Handling the inflow of cash has helped buffer the fall but may also sandbag the eventual rise.
Last year, Vanguard rose 21.04% -- exactly the same return as the S&P 500. Experienced management at the popular fund family has the indexing juggernaut cutting the gap closer than the already low expense ratios suggest. In a way, Vanguard's fund put on the finer reenactment of a fee-free fund in 1999.
That is because, in a cruel yet fitting twist, Spiders are not free to begin with. The American Stock Exchange takes a cut. What is the annual expense ratio on an S&P 500 Depositary Receipt? Why, 0.18%, of course.
The irony here with StockJungle is that the lure is not as enticing as the hook itself. One of the funds that StockJungle hopes to bait customers into is its clever Community Intelligence Fund. The microcap offering is up 25.1% since the start of the year. It buys and sells stocks that have been suggested by community members exclusively. Granted, it comes with more whirlwind turnover than a blender set on "churn." It is Foolworthy in theory but not in application. Still, it is a welcome surprise for a company whose fee-free gimmick will remain flawed until assets grow substantially.
But, again, a free fund. Wow. You just can't beat that. Can you?
You can. In December X.com launched an S&P 500 Index fund that will not only absorb all management fees but will also rebate 0.01% back into the asset base annually.
This X offering trumps StockJungle and even Vanguard in many ways. No minimum investment. New accounts actually get a $20 bonus deposited automatically. And since the company has British giant Barclays (NYSE: BCS) managing the fund, it is a bona-fide offering that is buying into the actual companies that make up the index.
The downside here is that the fund has a $15,000 ceiling ($50,000 if one sets up the account for direct deposit). X, despite tapping former Intuit (Nasdaq: INTU) CEO Bill Harris as its own chief just two months ago, still has a lot of catching up to do with its larger banking rivals. Online bill-pay is still in the works. Its one-year CD rate of 6.25% falls shy of Net.B@ank's and Telebank's 6.5% and 6.76% certificates, respectively. A revolutionary process where accountholders would be able to liberally transfer funds among themselves had to be tweaked after a few unauthorized transactions were made.
So X is not perfect. No online financial service company is. However, when you begin to consider the many advantages of the growing Web-based institutions (and, yes, most are FDIC-insured just like your local bricks-and-mortar bank) the Internet holds a wad of promise in the realm of online banking. Today these companies may be absorbing costs in one area and hoping to subsidize it elsewhere, but if you pick and choose your needs you will probably come out ahead. There's no free lunch, but they're giving away some of the side dishes.

Citizen Journalism Grows to Witness Journalism
Following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai last month, there has been an ongoing discussion about the role citizens play in relating current events. The four day standoff lead to an eruption of news coverage, many of it driven by bloggers, tweeters and related amateur news coverage. CNN, BBC and the New York Times all set up live coverage of the events and the government even asked live reporters to stop relaying police activities online. This internet driven information frenzy highlights the power of not just citizen journalism, but live witness journalism. Jeff Jarvis of the Guardian reports that,
The witnesses are taking over the news. That will fundamentally change our experience of news, the role of witnesses and participants, the role of journalists and news organisations, and the impact reporting has on events…These are all journalistic functions – reporting, gathering, organising, verifying – that anyone can now take on. Traditional news organisations will still perform these tasks, but in new ways…The next news story will be seen live and at eye level…urgent, live, direct, emotional, personal.
Should citizens be encouraged to report what they see or do they hinder the role that established journalists play in reporting our news?

ST. LOUIS -- Braden Looper went back to being a set-up man for the Cardinals.
The reliever turned starter pitched his best game of the season, setting the table for Albert Pujols' two-run, tie-breaking double in the eighth inning, and St. Louis beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-2 on Wednesday.
It was only the second win in nine home games for the Cardinals, the first World Series winners to start the following season 1-7 at home.
Looper, who is 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA, and three relievers combined on a five-hitter.
"It was probably some of the best control for the majority of the game that I've had," he said. "I just made one really bad pitch to the wrong guy. Luckily it didn't hurt us too bad."
Looper allowed one run on three hits in seven innings in his fifth career start, all of them lasting at least six innings, since the Cardinals plugged the former closer and setup man into the rotation.
"That's another outstanding outing for him," manager Tony La Russa said. "He's given us a terrific lift."
Josh Hamilton hit his sixth home run and drove in his 12th run, both tops among NL rookies, for the Reds. Hamilton homered five times in his first 29 at-bats and waited 17 more at-bats for his sixth long ball.
The Reds wasted another strong start by Bronson Arroyo, who gave up one run on five hits in seven innings. Arroyo has worked seven or more innings in four of his last five starts, but the Reds are 0-5 with him on the mound while scoring 11 runs.
"It's just the way it is, I guess," Arroyo said. "I felt I threw the ball well. It's always frustrating and disappointing when you don't win the ballgame."
David Eckstein was hitless in three at-bats and hadn't gotten the ball out of the infield before leading off the eighth with a bloop single against Kirk Saarloos (0-2). Chris Duncan walked on a full count and Pujols' liner to the gap in right-center scored both runners and made it 3-1.
"A lot of hitters try to be a hero and try to create something big," Pujols said. "I try to make it simple, go back to my basics and just get the ball deep."
Pujols has struggled in the early going, batting .234, but has 14 RBI.
"Obviously it doesn't matter how I'm swinging or what my batting average looks like, when it comes to that situation I'm a different person," Pujols said. "I know sooner or later I'm going to get a big opportunity."
A fourth run scored on shortstop Alex Gonzalez' wild throw to first on Preston Wilson's one-out grounder and Yadier Molina's sacrifice fly off Victor Santos gave the Cardinals a 5-1 lead.
Jim Edmonds had an RBI single in the fourth for the Cardinals, who had been outscored 44-20 during their first eight home games with 10 of their runs coming in the lone victory. They scuffled for offense in this game, too, mustering seven hits.
Randy Flores (1-0), St. Louis' third pitcher, struck out Hamilton and Brandon Phillips to end the eighth, then allowed an RBI single to Scott Hatteberg in the ninth. Jason Isringhausen came on to get the last out for his fifth save in six chances.
The Cardinals scored first for only the fifth time in 20 games, taking the lead in the fourth on Scott Rolen's leadoff double and Edmonds' RBI single.
Looper didn't allow a hit, permitting only two walks, until Gonzalez singled with one out in the fifth. He had retired 11 of 12 batters before Hamilton hit his first pitch of the sixth over the center field wall.
Saarloos allowed two hits and two walks to start the eighth. In his last two outings, he has allowed six runs in one-third of an inning.
"(I) stunk pretty much," Saarloos said. "I couldn't get anyone out. A bad effort for me."
Gonzalez is 6-for-9 the last two games, emerging from a 3-for-22 slump. ... Duncan singled twice, walked and lined out, and is batting .448 (13-for-29) at home. ... Skip Schumaker is 2-for-14 as a pinch hitter for the Cardinals after grounding out to end the seventh. ... The Reds' bullpen has five of the team's 11 losses.

Report: NYS Routinely Overpays Hospitals
New York, NY —
A new report suggests New York routinely overpays hospitals for various medical procedures. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's office looked at how much the state Health Department and the Medicaid system pay when hospitals release and then re-admit patients.
DiNapoli says New York should emulate New Jersey, where hospitals don't get paid for re-admitting patients within a week of discharge, unless they can justify the claim.
DINAPOLI: The Department of Health really needs to tighten up the ways in which claims are reviewed and processed.
REPORTER: DiNapoli estimates New York could have avoided $150 million worth of claims, if it challenged the bills hospitals submitted.
The Health Department, which administers the state's Medicaid program, says improved computers and greater manual oversight will catch over-billing more often.
The audit also found that when New York picks up the Medicaid tab for its residents getting treated out-of-state, the Health Department regularly pays hospitals more than it would for the same procedure performed here.

Let's be accurate here.
This particular Harris Interactive poll involved 2,583 American adults age 18 and older.
The responses were:62 percent – in favor of special health courts17 percent – not in favor21 percent – don't know
62 percent of a sampling of fewer than 2,600 people does *not* constitute two-thirds of Americans. It is only representative of that particular survey sample, although reasonable individuals might be able to extrapolate to a wider population.
Also, the poll was conducted in March 2003. Not exactly ancient history, but it's hardly "recent" either.
So anon 6:03, it appears that you are against health courts. So why would you want to maintain the status quo? Do you have any good reason(s)?
Anon 6:03:For the last 50 plus years sampling using representative populations is how we have been polling. It is the best we have short of polling every person on every issue (clearly not feasable) and has been shown to be accurate (with a standard deviation) for the most part. Of course you could always try to get the largest population possible in a poll, but as Truman/Dewey found out back in 1948, that is not nearly as accurate as representative populations. Seems to me like you are reaching based on your own bias.
It all depends upon how the questions in the poll are written. For example, sometimes an interviewer will read two statements and then ask people which statement they agree with more. If a person responds that they do not agree with either statement, they are asked, "But, which do you agree with more," making them choose an answer. What ends up being reported is that X percent of Americans believe statement A. When in fact that is not what people are saying.
Incidentally, I support health courts. I just happened to have worked for one of these major polling organizations in my younger years so without knowing the wording of the questions it's impossible to determine the credibility of the survey. Things have changed since the Truman/Dewey polling days.

Our latest BI solution center (BISC, which in our definition is more than a BICC/BI COE) report is now live on the Forrester website. Here's a brief summary.
Forrester firmly believes that tried and true best practices for enterprise software development and support just don't work for business intelligence (BI). Earlier-generation BI support centers — organized along the same lines as support centers for all other enterprise software — fall short when it comes to taking BI's peculiarities into account. These unique BI requirements include less reliance on the traditional software development life cycle (SDLC) and project planning and more emphasis on reacting to the constant change of business requirements. Forrester recommends structuring your BISC along somewhat different lines than traditional technical support organizations.
Earlier-generation BI support organizations are less than effective because they often

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

Tacoma's own Sevens Revenge has released their first full-length CD, "Distortion of Reality," and it represents quite a change for the band in more ways than one. Whereas Sevens Revenge used to be an acoustic duo consisting of frontwoman Dusti Seven and guitarist/vocalist Kristen Cadenhead, three more players have been added and the sound has gone electric, which really was necessary for the band to reach its full potential and do justice to the above-average song writing. The band is excited to sign a new recording contract as well with Tin Star Records, which they will do at their CD release party Nov. 30 at Jazzbones.
To fill out the band, new members include lead guitarist Scott Malone, bassist Cooper Stanley and drummer Ryan Fairchild. All seasoned musicians, each one brings major skills and experience to Sevens Revenge. Their playing on "Distortion of Reality" showcases their musical artistry beautifully, with Cadenhead's rhythm guitar providing a roughened edge and Seven's killer, powerhouse voice as the icing on the cake.
"Distortion of Reality" is very different from the band's debut offering in 2011, the acoustic EP "Edged in Ashes." Now with Malone's fluid and emotionally vivid guitar solos, Stanley's bass sound crafted upon numerous genres of music and Fairchild's drums punctuating the music and giving it a professional polish, Sevens Revenge stands as a band to watch out for now that they've gotten their debut CD out for all to hear.
"It's our first album together and a prefect representation of where we're going," Seven said. "There's a lot of variety on it and lets us go in a lot of directions." Always present, though, is the band's seething and smoldering trademark sound and attitude. It's not a gloomy vibe, nor a trip through woe-is-me self-indulgence. Rather, Sevens Revenge puts forth a tougher stance instead of being downtrodden by life experiences or just being pissed off.
Imagery of blue flames appears not only in the artwork on the CD cover and the disk itself, but also among the songs such as on "Shades of Blue," a thoughtful and introspective tune about anger in the face of loss.
"I wrote those lyrics about a year ago at a campfire," Seven explained. "Everyone had gone off and I was looking just a above the flames." "Shades of Blue" is melodious, honest and includes tasty Malone guitar solos.
Malone wrote "Tear Your Heart Out," which Seven said is a favorite among the band mates. It's brooding and with ample swagger, one of the harder rock tracks on "Distortion of Reality." The song works well to showcase Fairchild's drums and Malone's freestyle guitar work, while Cadenhead's rhythm guitar gives this track a grinding texture and urgency. On these tracks and all the band's music for that matter, having a woman on lead vocals gives Sevens Revenge its hook and appeal. Dusti Seven's voice possesses just enough vulnerability to make it real and just enough fierceness to make listeners sit up and take notice.
At their CD release party coming up Nov. 30, Sevens Revenge will sign with Tin Star Records. Label representatives Roy Pack and Danielle Egnew will be on location for this event along with the band's sister label Maurice the Fish Records. Special guest The Juliettes open at 8 p.m., and you won't want to miss this awesome all-female foursome and their wicked and shart sense of humor with songs like "Jagerbombed" and "Hooray You're Gay." Tickets are $5 advance and $7 at the door. Go to www.reverbnation.com/sevensrevenge and preview the cool sounds of Sevens Revenge.

"Shimmer" proved to be Fuel's calling card once again, as the kinetic single became a modern rock hit and nearly cracked the Top 40. Additional singles like "Bittersweet," "Jesus or a Gun," and the title track (featured on the Scream 3 soundtrack) also earned airplay, propelling Sunburn to platinum record status. Fuel's second album, Something Like Human, followed two and a half years later and launched the hit "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)," which proved to be the band's biggest single to date. The album itself reached number 17 on the Billboard charts; within a year of its release, it had climbed to double platinum status, making Fuel one of the more successful rock acts of the year.
Released in 2003, Natural Selection sold 71,000 copies in its opening week thanks to the strident lead single "Falls on Me." The album quickly fell from the charts, however, and following the 2005 release of Best of Fuel, frontman Scallions amicably parted ways with the band. Several months later, Fuel's remaining members watched as American Idol contestant Chris Daughtry performed a solid cover of "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)" during the show's fifth season. They offered him the position of Scallions' replacement, but Daughtry ultimately turned the gig down, opting to launch a career of his own instead. Undeterred, Fuel enlisted Toryn Green as the band's new singer and began to work on a fourth studio album, Angels & Devils. Meanwhile, ex-Godsmack drummer Tommy Stewart filled in for Kevin Miller during live performances and eventually became a permanent part of the group. Other obligations prevented Stewart from recording during the Angels & Devils sessions, however, and Nine Inch Nails/A Perfect Circle drummer Josh Freese was brought in to temporarily handle percussion duties. Angels & Devils was ultimately released in August 2007. ~ Jason Ankeny & Andrew Leahey

With under 400 days to go until the start of the London Olympics 2012, we have seen east London being transformed to accommodate a newly built stadium, the nominations for Torchbearers are coming in and test events are underway.
The wait is becoming agonising and it appears the promise of a world-class event will become true, especially because it will not be purely for sports fans.
For those whose excitement has already started waning at the number of sporting events, the East London Art Exhibition launches on Thursday with an evening of exhibitions, events, music and performances followed by cultural trails, days out and events for all the family until Sunday 10 July. This will be a pilot scheme for a similar, larger-scale event in the run-up to the Olympics
Museums and galleries taking part include: Barbican Art Gallery, Chisenhale Gallery, Calvert 22, Museum of London, The Nunnery, Parasol Unit, Raven Row, Rivington place, V&A Museum of Childhood, White Cube, Whitechapel gallery and The Women's Library.
The exhibition is part of a summer arts festival presenting over 200 homemade, world-class events profiling east London creativity. The purpose is to open your eyes to the diversity and innovation of the culture coming out of the east end with events taking place in most surprising of spaces: a disused motorway under croft in Hackney Wick, a WWII bunker in Dalston and a floating cinema on the waterways of east London.
Hadrian Garrard, Director of the Create festival: "With one year to go to the London 2012 Games, the Create festival is at the forefront of celebrating Europe's largest cultural quarter with an extraordinary range of cultural experiences for all."
East London Art Weekend runs from 7 July until 10 July. For more information visit www.createlondon.org

89 dodge dakota problem
hey there guys and gals i have a question that maybe someone can help me with i have an 89 dodge dakota with a 3.9 v6 and it has started to die on me when it is cold what happens is you can run it for like 5 or 10 minutes then it will just die if your going down the road it will cut out like it is running out of gas but if it is sitting still it just dies like you shut the key off and it only does this of a morning then its fine the rest of the day i checked the codes and it showed a code 11 which was something about no rpm signal getting to the computer after the battery has been changed but i have not changed it in a long time i was told it could be the computer or the pick up in the dist. or the coil but i just dont know and i cant figure out why it only does it first thing in the morning and no more the rest of the day so does anyone have any advise thanks for any help,,,,,,,and also when this happens sometimes it will start right back up and die if you give it alot of gas and then sometimes it takes a few minutes before it starts back up
I have found 2 problems with the Dodges. 1st. How old is the battery, and how clean are those connections. Clean those battery connections first, and while your at it if the battery is more than 5 years old, have it tested with a carbon pile load tester, and one of the new battery testers that does a milli amp test (it tests the Hertz frequency of the battery) Snap-on Tools and Mac Tools. Chrysler vehicles are extremely sensitive to voltage spikes in the charging system affecting the running of the engine when !st started. 2nd make sure that the throttle body plates and idle air controller pintle vale are clean...being that this system is "shower head throttle body" the plates will probably be clean, but the idle air motor (controller) pintle valve will probably be dirty. The correct way to clean it is to remove it from the throttle body (either 2 screws or it unscrews from the main body, I can't remember which way on the older vehicles) (2 screws are usually Torx, or it's a 1 inch box or open end wrench to remove)???? Clean the pointy end (pintle) and don't forget to clean the passage way inside the hole that you pulled the IAC valve out. I usually use Carb Medic from Gunk...on a cloth rag and put your finger in there and clean it out...use a good synthetic glove...that stuff is VERY strong...don't spray lots down inside directly from the spray can...that can screw up and overheat your catalytic converter...expensive!!!!! Hope that helps you a little? Good luck
hey there thanks for the advise i changed the battery about 8 monthes ago but i do know that the cables and ends need replaced which i was gonna try to do this weekend. and i will clean that iac too and see what happens. once again thanks for the help ill let you know if this fixes it
ok i really feel stupid asking this but how do i tell which one is the idle air motor(controler) i looked today and there was i think 4 or 5 censors on the throttle body
The location of the IAC motor (Controller) is usually, but not always, at the rear of the throttle body closest to the distributor, it "should" have about 4 or 5 wires on a removable clip and at a 90 degree angle to the Controller...like I said earlier it's been a while since I've seen one, the latter ones 92 and newer are definitely at the rear...I'll try and research it for more accuracy for you...also, I forgot to mention earlier...there will be a "relearn" for the computer...again disconnecting the "clean" battery terminals will assist in doing this "relearn". Take the vehicle down the street and you should drive aprox 2 miles at a constant speed nothing faster than 40 - 50 mph...It's a little easier if you had a snap-on scanner or similar to get the read the readings coming from the computer of the vehicle...this is probably why not many people have responded to this question...the vehicle will start and stall as it did before you did this clean up...this is okay...let the vehicle warm up to full operating temp 195 degrees...and take the vehicle sensibly down the road...find an appropriate road...not in school zones etc...and do aprox 2 miles of distance at a constant speed of 40 mph or 50 mph...nothing faster is necessary...we usually use a vehicle chassis dyno to do this in a shop...not necessary to drive crazy on the road, trying to get the computer to "relearn"...but it can be done the way I've told you provided you are careful on the road...police don't like excuses like "the computer has to "relearn" "!...It won't wash!!! hehehe! By the way...the other spot would be on an angle on the pass side rear of the throttle body...for the alternate location of the IAC valve with the same amount of wires...maybe someone else could help me out or verify the location...Cheers!
Here's a pic. HTH
I had the same problem on my 1990 but was told by the dealer I need to buy a new carb. it was like 250.00 bucks.
hey thanks for all the help and that pic was great i thought that was it but just wanted to be sure. hopefully this weekend if it doesnt rain here in arkansas i will be able to tinker with this and see what happens and let you know thanks again for all the help .........i just want to say also thanks for this site it has help me out many times
Thanks for posting the pic...the part "Idle Air Control" that I mentioned earlier, is not shown in this picture. The "Idle Speed Control" is shown in this picture on the driver's side...this is the front of the throttle body, and I was referring to the rear of the body near the distributor...The Idle Speed control actually moves the throttle blades open and closed a small amount when decelerating for the emissions control...if you do not have an Idle Air Control valve at the rear of the carb and only the Idle Speed Control, then, only clean the throttle bore if it's carboned up in the throats of the two bores, beneath the butterfly plates and if the plates are black and sooty looking on the bottom side of the plates...they usually stay clean because of the washing of the fuel...I hope I'm not confusing you...and again thanks to sbchevfreak for posting the picture...it sure helped...Cheers!
No prob, it took me a while to figure out how to get the pic from the source to here. (Not too computer savvy). I guess I should have explained the pic a bit besides just posting it. If I remember correctly, Dodges of that era only had the ISC, on the newer TBI & PFI they added the more common "pintle" IAC.
hey there just an update on this, i didnt get to work on it this weekend but it has warmed up outside of a morning and since it has been warmer in the morning it has not messed up at all but then last night it got like 35 or so and it messed up again this morning so i guess it only happens when it is below like 45 or 50 in the morning
ok guys and gals i finally got to work on this thing this weekend i changed the fuel filter,air filter,dist. cap,rotor,plugs,wires,pick up inside the dist,and i thought my battery cables were bad but they were just nasty at the cables ends so i changed them too, so far so good the truck runs better than it has since i got it a year ago. thanks for all the help with this and hopefully its fixed but if not ill check some of the other things you guys told me and let you know what happens thanks once again

There are 44 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Nov 30, 2009, titled Ohio Grinch steals Salvation Army kettle, saying 'I hate Christ.... In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:Police in northwest Ohio say a man who claimed to hate Christmas swiped a Salvation Army red kettle full of donated money and pushed one of the charity's bell ringers to the ground when she tried to take it back.

I mean, I get annoyed at the stupid bell ringing outside of every single grocery store too...but come on people, it's for a good cause. And who steals from the salvation army?!
#3 Nov 30, 2009
Have a holly jolly Christmas...it's the best time of the year...etc.
Maybe this brings a new meaning to "Jingle Bell ROCK"

humans.....the species is damaged...this is disgusting.

Karma is a MOFO, he should be very careful!

Twist his thumbs off!!
#8 Nov 30, 2009
You can say that again! And again .. and again!
#9 Nov 30, 2009
Haaaa. Another person driven over the edge by religion. Imagine that....
#10 Nov 30, 2009
I wouldn't be surprised to read that Goldman Sachs was behind this because they want to become the only charity case allowed.
#11 Nov 30, 2009
Maybe the Salvation Army needs a blinking light or something just slight less annoying than that bell.
#12 Nov 30, 2009
Gosh, I bet he was one of those little kiddies who never got what he wanted for Christmas and now resents the reminder of it.
Maybe if Salvation Army could try and help the man, it might make him a new person.
#13 Nov 30, 2009
I lived in California for 30 years , born and raised in Ohio for 17 years . I have in Calif. seen some crimes and bunk-o crimes that are unbelievable , while living there I brag about Ohio how decent and the morality people had and instill in their children , But since I return in these last few years it's like a flue virus spreading crime and it's sicking shameful some of the things that people do . I know times change but people do not change so ugly has the things that are being done . In Calif. you can get kill with 20 / 80 witnesses seeing who done it , but they will not try to help or even I.D. the person or persons that done it , people are just so cold there , not caring , compassionate at all you really have to watch your back . And this is coming from a person that live in upper class Manhatten Beach Ca. The Buckeyes need to really reclaim their state and try to at less get the ugly of crime out .
Love Ohio Always
#14 Nov 30, 2009
That sounds like a great plan!
#15 Nov 30, 2009
"for a good cause?" The Salvation Army is an ultra-conservative religious group with a stated goal to push their religion on people.
I'm all for helping the less fortunate but let's keep religion out of it.
#16 Nov 30, 2009
I'll be glad to help the less fortunate- whre's the nearest atheist standing around ringing a bell next to a kettle this year?
#17 Nov 30, 2009
The problem with keeping religion out of it is that you lose alot of people donating time and money, because of their religion. you should hang out with the goofy broad from Powell that claims the thug that stold the money did it because of religion.
#18 Nov 30, 2009
Someone in dire need of salvation!
#19 Nov 30, 2009
This story had nothing to do with their religious views, conservative or otherwise. Why bring it up? I see no connection to this situation.
Regardless of what their spiritual doctrine and views are, they are in fact helping people who are desperately in need of assistance. Whether that needy person is a Christian or not is irrelevant to Salvation Army, nor is it a prerequisite for getting assistance.
You comment was uncalled for, based on assumption and prejudice. And I hope you never find yourself in a situation where YOU need assistance. But should you ever, be assured Salvation Army will be there for you NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE!
Since: Oct 09
#20 Nov 30, 2009
Really? Why do we need to keep religion out of it? Don't donate to them if you don't want to. Go start your atheist donation, and I will stay away from those. Will that make you feel more equal?
It's not even about religion...it's about a very lame man STEALING donations. Get your head outta your a**. Not everything has to go back to religion/race.
#21 Nov 30, 2009
I'm not at all religious, nor do I care to have somebody impose their religious viewpoints on me.
But seriously -- it's the Salvation Army. If somebody wants to raise money to help the less fortunate, I couldn't care less if they were Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or atheist. The money still goes for a good cause, doesn't it?
Religion is a positive influence when it is used to spur caring and compassion for your fellow human beings. Religion is only bad when it is used as a tool to justify violence, greed, control, or oppression. I fail to see how the Salvation Army promotes the latter.
You may not agree with their religious viewpoints, but that doesn't mean the money isn't going towards a good cause. Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Not to mention the fact that stealing is wrong, especially stealing from a charity, no matter what church you attend (or don't attend). It's common sense, people! Of course, common sense is a bit of an oxymoron these days.

This is a discussion on UNusual grips for a Kimber UC II within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I purchased a Kimber Ultra Carry SP II a week ago and have already decided it is the gun for me. Now, if you are ...
I purchased a Kimber Ultra Carry SP II a week ago and have already decided it is the gun for me. Now, if you are not familiar with this weapon it has a very unique finish. But the grips are...well...not unique. So, I am looking for some VERY unique grips. I have googled and ebayed, but only found the "Punisher" grips that are slightly unusual. I need something REALLY unusual. Maybe custom. Any ideas????

Check out the Damascus grips here. They look really expensive, and really cool, and might be what you're looking for. :)

I like the Damascus 1911 Grips, but 18 months to get them???? Esmeralda is wood and I don't think they will work, but I like them for another pistol. Sarge is like Esmeralda.
Thanks for the input. I probably would not have found the Damascus Grips.

Anybody ever hear of Herrett's Stocks?
Gun stocks by Herrett's Stocks, Inc.
I only know about them because I grew up in that area, and my Dad worked there for some period of time before I was born. They're mostly competitive target style grips, but you said very unusual...
OT, but kind of interesting, back when the space program was first going and they needed a custom grip for the stick which the astronaut used to steer the capsule (wearing astronaut gloves, of course), they came to Herrett's with the glove, and my Dad helped make the first grips in space! True story.
edit to add, that's one sweet looking little Kimber!
what type of finish is that?
With the right grips that will be a trully "different" looking pistol.
And a Kimber to boot.
Kimber Compact CDP II, Sig 220 Carry Elite, Colt New Agent,
Sig Customer Service, Stinks!
"The more I know about people the more I like my dog."
Seriously...if you can latch onto a set of these...they are really classy.
roalho: Thanks for the tip. I think my dad has some of those on a Delta Elite he has. Great story, thanks for sharing.
ccrider: that is the finish that comes on the UC SPII. On Kimbers site HERE under Special Edition.
qkshooter: I saw those and actually kinda like them. I'm going for all black, silver or grey I think. I'm trying to find a custom shop that will inlay "INFIDEL" on them.
Here are the grips I ordered from Sarge at The Finer Grain. They are Masur Birch from Finland.

I'd be careful about 'convincing' non-family members to carry, for rather obvious reasons. It's really something they have to come to on their own. You can provide information, how to get the CPL/CHL, where to practice shooting, what kind of guns you think might suit them and so on.
Just be a good example, carry responsibly, talk about how it made you calmer, more polite, and put you into 'de-escalation mode', lowered your potential for road rage.
Then when they're ready they'll come to you for information.

Location: Bioenergy ResearchTitle: Protein Engineering of GRE2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Enhanced Detoxification of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural Author
|Moon, Jaewoong
|Liu, Zonglin
Submitted to: American Society for Microbiology Annual Meeting
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/27/2010
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) are representative inhibitors generated by lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment such as dilute acid hydrolysis that inhibit microbial growth and subsequent fermentation. It is possible to in situ detoxify these inhibitory compounds using tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae through nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) hydride (NAD(P)H)-dependent aldehyde reductions. GRE2 is a commonly recognized up-regulated gene by stress conditions with reductase activities. Using a directed enzyme evolution approach, we engineered the genetic code of GRE2 yielding two mutants with amino acid substitutions of Gln261 to Arg and Phe283 to Leu; and Ile107 to Val, Gln261 to Arg, and Val285 to Asp for strains Y62-C11 and Y62-G6, respectively. Clones of these mutants showed a better growth rate and were able to establish a viable culture when challenged with 30 mM HMF compared with a wild type GRE2 clone on a synthetic medium. The improved mutants displayed approximately 3- to 4-fold increase of specific enzyme reduction activity toward HMF, and a 3- to 9-fold increase toward furfural compared with their parental wild type gene. Derivatives of S. cerevisiae NRRL Y-50049 transformed with these mutated genes demonstrated significantly higher levels of HMF-to-furandimethanol conversion. The commonly shared amino acid substitution of Arg at 261 and the additional substitutes of Leu283 and Asp285 could affect cofactor NADH- and/or substrate-binding for the enhanced reduction activities.

Gone are the days when beanies were reserved only for the homeless and 90s grunge. This season they seem to be the crown jewel of a winter ensemble. I love that they create an effortless accent to oversized jackets + shopper totes- my favorite look this winter!
Seeing all this inspiration makes me crave an oversized beanie. Anybody have any leads? I'd pair it with this jacket and these smoking slippers. Delicious!
Happy Friday, loves! I hope you have lots of fun plans. I will be glued to the library preparing for finals next week. Have a mojito for me, will you? ;)

Connecting inline duct fan to furnace
I installed an in-line duct fan to boost air flow to a room. It works well except for the sound level. I have initially wired it to plug to a standard 110/120 volt outlet.
Here is the fan (model DG6GTP):
What I am wondering is whether I can direct wire it to the furnace to have it come on only when heating or cooling. I leave the blower running all the time to circulate the air in the house so I do not want the duct fan running when the heat / AC is not running.
Any suggestions?
My other option is to install a duct stat:
Also I am having a bit of difficulty finding control unit wiring in the furnace which has the connections to the thermostat. What should I be looking for?
Thanks for your assistance.
depending on the connections to your supply fan you should tap off that connection,either off the terminal block in the fan section or in the control area where the fan wires come in.keep in mind that your AC runs one fan speed,and the HEAT the slower motor speeds

text: I have a 2006 subaru wrx that ive recently bought. Ive done a little work to the appearance dropped it with tein springs 2.5 in the front and 1.7 rear with rota gforces 18X8.5...but im looking to put the rest of my money into the motor to get to 300hp. I plan on getting either a cobb or invidia catted downpipe with exhaust and cobb accessport. I heard the stock intake is good to 300hp so im sticking with it. But i havent decided to stick with the stock turbo(if i can get to 300 with it?) or getting the vf30....And whats involved with a vf30 setup? and thoughts... I have a beater so i dont really drive it to work during the week, so its not my daily driver but i still want reliable
