I have found this gear linkage repair kit on the internet and it is a very good price.
Does this look right to you?
Is this the part i need?
Whats the difference between this 'repair kit' to a normal kit.
Please help
Repair kit just replaces parts of your existing gear linkage. So it will probably screw up again
The better option is to get the metal gear linkage. It is a lot more expensive than the repair kit, but probably worth it in the end
Whats the part that gets worn??
the plastic.
In reference to Illusive Pro and your PM, 'what he said'.
thanks people. So as a summary the kit in the picture is:
*The right kit for the job, but will more than likely wear again?
*The wrong kit for the job dont buy it?
Thanks again for you info
dunno mate. Mines an 03, it has gone yet but has been making a rattle for bout 6 months
i also beleive once the linkage is fitted it has to be set up?
I have a metal complete linkage ready to fit to my corsa. It comes withh all the brackets and joints.
My question- do you have to fit the complete assembly or can you leave off the bracket that attaches to the subframe area behind the steering rack because it looks a pig of a job to get off. I am planning on unclipping that part and replacing everything else.
Hope this makes sense. Cheers.
Thanks. Getting it done 2moro, with a metal one
how much to get one fitted and how much is the metal kit? mine is in need of one too
got my gear linkage fixed today, it totally ****ed up the other night, wouldnt go into any gear so had to get it towed into my local garage, £90 in total, fitted etc.
can anyone tell me where i can find this metal linkage set
and how difficult is the job to do one your own, is it worth getting it into a garage
ebay is the best place to get it. about 35quid
Do it yourself. its really easy. just follow the tutorials on here
fitted new linkage today. can get all gears but shifting into reverse goes in without lifting stick. worrying when i wanted first gear and keep getting reverse
Get a 5 mm drill bit.
Lift up the gear stick gaitor.
Insert 5mm drill bit in the hole on the left of the gear stick.
Push the stick left till you lign up with the 5mm hole to stop you accidently going into reverse, Lock gear stick into position with dril bit.
Lift bonnet,
Loosen linkage from the gear stick push rod ( this is the allen bolt fitting)
On the gearbox twist the selector rod towards the passenger wing and press in the yellow / orange locking pin.
Tighten the allen bolt fitting,
remove drill bit,
twist gear selector on the gearbox towards the passenger wing till the yellow / orange pin releases.
Test drive.
do I need to lock the gear in the hole and lock the gearbox by pressing the button thing in before I start removing the old linkage? how easy is it to change? pic will help thanks

I'd like to see Arroyo impeached para matapos na itong GLORIAGATE issue na ito. This gives Arroyo the opportunity to defend herself in court, and show the public na transparent ang government niya at hindi siya guilty.
At kung na-impeach si Arroyo at sa impeachment trial niya ay napatunayan na hindi guilty si Arroyo at si Garci, then ako mismo hindi ko na susuportahan yung mga future impeachment complaints laban sa kanya and not only will I stop calling for her resignation, I'd support her presidency 100% pa.
Gusto kong ilabas ng mga pro- at anti-Arroyo ang mga ebidensiya nila so the Filipino can judge for themselves kung guilty talaga si arroyo o gawa-gawa lang ng opposition ang GLORIAGATE.
And I'd like to hear the GLORIGATE players tell their story under oath in impeachment court at ma-cross examine sila. People like Virgilio Garcillano, Vidal Doble, Ignacio Bunye, Joc Joc Bolante, Michaelangelo Zuce, Ricardo Manapat, Mike Defensor, Gen. Esperon, Kyamko and others, PNP chief Lomibao, Rashma Hali, Gen. Gudani, Capt. Marlon Mendoza, Alexander Balutan and others.
I'd like to see Garci questioned again about a few things na medyo inconsistent sa kanyang testimony noong um-attend siya sa hearing that was presided by Arroyo's allies. Obviously, walang nakitang krimen o nakawan ng election ang mga kaalyado ni Arroyo, at yan ang inilagay nila sa walang-kwentang committee report nila. Hindi raw guilty si Garci. Whatever, Teddyboy.
From MLQ3:
The new charges are powerful: First: GMA exercised dictatorial powers to stifle political dissent triggered by her illegitimate presidency. Second: GMA committed crimes against humanity. She abetted, if not encouraged, the systematic and widespread killings of political dissidents and journalists to silence criticisms against her. Third: GMA criminally concealed her conjugal assets, engaged in graft and corruption, and entered into illegal government contracts.
Each charge stands on its own, and isn't dependent on the other two. The House is tasked to deliberate on each one, and to decide which ones deserve to be prosecuted in the Senate. Each charge needs to be answered, and it is in the detailed reply to each charge, and the things that constitute the grounds for them, that the House and, hopefully, the Senate, with the public observing the process, must make up their minds.
With regard to the first charge: when Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye released two CDs to the public, and Secretary Michael Defensor remarked "that is the President's voice, but that isn't her talking," did a conspiracy to obstruct justice take place, with the consent of Ms Arroyo as principal? When the calibrated preemptive response, EO 464 and 1017 were made official policies, did Ms Arroyo arrogate unto herself powers fit only for a dictator? When she authorized the raid on The Daily Tribune and had the police exert pressure on the publication, did she violate her oath of office; and does the harassment of party-list representatives constitute arbitrary and illegal behavior? As for the allegations of electoral fraud in 2004, did such cheating occur?
While the second charge speaks for itself, what of the third charge: do the Jose Pidal accounts, Piatco bribery allegations, the NorthRail contracts, policies on jueteng, as well as the highly partisan handling of the congressional pork barrel constitute behavior that would justify Ms Arroyo's removal from office? To refuse to face these charges now is to ensure that they become central issues in the 2007 elections.
I'd like to see the reason Arroyo's allies use to justify killing this new impeachment complaint vs. Arroyo. At nagtatanong lang
More here from the PCIJ and Ellen Tordesillas.

Someone suggested my drawings would make good tattoos so I made some (temporary) ones.
This is a sheet of 10 of my drawings of writers, plus a few bonus books. You can go out with a choice of Clarice Lispector, Marguerite Duras, Joan Didion, Miranda July, Sheila Heti, Simone de Beauvoir, Oscar Wilde, Deborah Levy, Quentin Crisp, or Ann Carson on your arm (or whichever part of your anatomy you prefer).
The tattoos work out at £1 per author, which is not bad when you look at similar on Etsy, etc. This includes worldwide postage and printed instructions. You can buy the writers in sets of 5 or 10 figures (set 1 is Lispector/Duras/Didon/July/Heti, set 2 is de Beauvoir/Wilde/Levy/Crisp/Carson, set 3 is all 10 writers) and pay via Paypal or buy me a book or books that cost about the same. Please email badaude-at-gmail-dot-com or leave me a message below if you'd like a set.
To prove they work, here are a few of the tattoos in action. (Apologies -you'll notice the already-poor phone quality of the photos degenerates as alcohol is added.)

Seb with Ann Carson:

Too often at Forrester, sourcing and vendor management (SVM) professionals tell us things like, "oh, we'd never implement a Bring-Your-Own-PC program. It would increase our risk and reduce our negotiating power with our PC vendor" -- only to find out later that their colleagues in the infrastructure team have in fact already implemented such a program.
The reality of today's environment is that your end users have wildly different expectations of technology, and of the people who procure it for them. These users are mobile, empowered to make their own technology decisions, impatient to get what they want, and have multiple new technology options like BYOPC and cloud that make consumer-like enterprise purchases possible. Yet too often, SVM professionals hide behind their corporate sourcing policies rather than try to get ahead of user needs.
You know the risks of denying a trend – users going around SVM with loopholes in the corporate policy to buy what they want, while selecting new vendors that don't meet your risk criteria. And I know many of you are trying to avoid this fate. You're already expanding your efforts beyond IT to work more with your marketing teams and spending more time giving guidance to individuals sourcing SaaS contracts rather than trying to take over responsibility for those contracts yourselves.
But even as these issues have been gaining steam for a while, 2011 is the year that the trends accelerate and converge. Why? The recession is mostly behind us and the effort to grow quickly brings out the natural tendencies of end users to focus on speed over risk or total cost.
2011 is the year you need to stop slow-pedaling new models of sourcing emerging technologies and instead put your foot on the gas. Get out there and be more proactive with your stakeholders about social technologies, mobile devices and applications, and:

Invite the children to make solar system mobiles using clues from the rhyme. Provide each child with the planets template and have them first color the planets, then cut out and label them. Other than the Sun, the planets are correctly scaled relative to each other.
Give each child a paper plate and mobile template and have them mark on the plate the positions where the Sun, planets, and asteroid belt will be attached.
Have the children cut the string to the appropriate lengths and attach them to the designated bodies:
Invite them to tape the unattached string ends of each planetary body to the paper plate in the locations they have marked, so that each planet or body dangles under the plate. The pom-pom Sun belongs in the center. Make sure Jupiter and Saturn are on opposite, outer sides, so that the mobile is balanced.
To hang the mobile, cut five one-inch slits into the end of a straw. Splay the ends and tape the splays to the top of the paper plate. Cut two small slits horizontally, on opposite sides, about a half inch from the free end of the straw and draw a string through the slits to make a hanging loop.
What's Needed?
Connections to the National Science Standard(s)
Standards D (grades K–4): Understand and communicate that objects in the night sky have describable properties, locations, and movements.
Standards D (grades 5–8): Understand that Earth is the third planet from the Sun in a system that includes the moon, the sun, eight other planets and their moons, and smaller objects. These objects orbit the Sun. Most objects in our solar system are in regular and predictable motion.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell senior right-handed pitcher Ryan Thompson has been selected by the Houston Astros with the first pick of the 23rd round in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft.
Houston made Thompson the 676th pick on day three of the MLB Draft after a very decorated two-year career with the Camels.
Last week, Thompson was named Third Team Louisville Slugger All-American, becoming the first Camel to earn All-America honors in multiple seasons, also picking up honors last season from Louisville Slugger (Second Team) and the ABCA (Third Team) while leading the nation in ERA with a 0.88.
In 2014, Thompson fashioned a 1.33 ERA and a 7-2 record with 17 saves. He added 87 strikeouts in 88 innings pitched across 39 appearances.
He was named the Big South Conference Tournament's MVP, pitching in all five of Campbell's tournament wins with a 1-0 mark and three saves in nine scoreless innings.
Thompson was also a First Team All-Big South performer in 2014 after earning Big South Pitcher of the Year honors in 2013.
Thompson is one of four Campbell All-Americans in the last three seasons, along with Michael Felton (2012), Ben McQuown (2013) and Brent Graham (2013).
Thompson is the fifth Camel to be taken in the MLB Draft since 2009, joining Ryan Hamme (31st round, Chicago White Sox, 2009), Jake Smith (48th round, San Francisco Giants, 2011), Matt Marksberry (15th round, Atlanta Braves, 2013) and Ben McQuown (30th round, Oakland Athletics), and the 48th overall in program history.
Thompson will become the seventh Camel over the last four years to join the professional baseball ranks, along with Ryan Mattes, Matt Sergey and Erick Gaylord. Mattes signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Royals last season, while Sergey and Gaylord have played for various independent league organizations.
Campbell finished the 2014 season with a 41-21 overall record, tying for the second-most wins in school history. The Camels claimed the Big South Tournament Championship in Rock Hill, S.C., earning the school's second NCAA Regional berth.
In the Columbia Regional, No. 4 seed CU picked up its first-ever NCAA Regional win, knocking off third-seeded Old Dominion 4-1 in 12 innings.
Campbell has won 131 games over the last three years, posting three consecutive 40-plus win seasons.

Vermont's FPF on AP wire
Lisa Rathke's story about Front Porch Forum hit the Associated Press wire and appeared in news outlets across the country today.
One correction… she spoke with Spencer Putnam in Weybridge, not Spencer Palmer.
Online forum connects Vt. residents in rural towns
By LISA RATHKE / Associated Press / October 13, 2013
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — When Tropical Storm Irene flooded mountain valley towns in Vermont two years ago, some savvy residents turned to social media to rally for help and spread news.
Their posts on Facebook pages and other community forums were answered in droves with volunteers, fundraising and supplies.
Now advocates are making sure every community has access to an online community platform where they can share information with their neighbors and pull together in times of need as Vermont spreads broadband service to all corners of the rural state.
An online community called Front Porch Forum is now available to all 251 Vermont towns and cities. Residents can register for free, and once 100 people have signed up in the community, it goes live.
Michael Wood-Lewis and his wife started a precursor to the forum in 2000 after they moved into a south-end Burlington neighborhood where they didn't know their neighbors. They got such positive feedback that they wanted to expand it elsewhere, Wood-Lewis said.
''It's just remarkable to watch how folks put it to use,'' he said.
In 2006, they formed a business and added community forums for towns across Chittenden County. By August of this year, the forum had expanded to every community in Vermont with help from about $300,000 in a federal disaster relief grant that is being used for software development, marketing and ramping up service.
Towns and cities with a strong presence on Front Porch Forum had an easier time pulling together after Irene because they had a platform to communicate, said Sharon Combes-Farr, project director for the Vermont Digital Economy Project, who directs the grant.
Meg Allison, of Moretown, used the forum during Irene when the village was evacuated and roads were washed away.
''We had one thing going for us that some other towns did not—a digital infrastructure and a citizenry who knew how to use digital tools to communicate, to organize, and ultimately, to continue our long-term recovery,'' she said in a blog in 2013.
The days and weeks following Irene, interest in Front Porch Forum exploded in the town with dozens and dozens signing up, Allison said.
The forum offers an outlet for members to get baby sitter recommendations, borrow equipment, spread the word about a lost pet and launch a reading group. Forum staffers monitor the forums to keep discussions civil. Besides the grant, the forum is supported through advertising.
A similar private social network started in San Francisco in 2010 called NextDoor. More than 100 cities around the country now use it, according to its website.
In the Vermont town of Westford, population 2,027, a food shelf got off the ground through Front Porch Forum.
Julia Andrews responded to a post from a woman asking for help starting a food pantry. They became partners six years ago and still use the forum to organize volunteers, food drives and events.
''I can also say it's very useful for thanking people who contribute,'' Andrews said.
It's also helpful for organizing meetings and sales, said Spencer Palmer, who helped bring the service to the small Addison County town of Weybridge. Palmer says his biggest coup was selling a full-size tractor within a day.
Susan Clark, of Middlesex, recently posted on the forum asking to borrow a stationary bike for a month as her son recovered from an injured knee.
''I was getting emails and phone calls for two days with people offering to loan theirs,'' she said in an email.
On the forum, local officials post meetings, votes and news about upcoming road work. The school board has conducted surveys about improvements to facilities. Some residents have posted gardening tips, seasonal recipes, poems, and weather records. They also warn about burglaries or other problems.
''My hope is that it makes us feel less polarized and isolated, so that when controversial issues do come up, it's that much more likely that we can come together face-to-face and talk about them in a civil, respectful manner,'' Clark said.

Small business polls neighbors for new name
#VT – Mike Comeau is preparing to open a new grocery market in Johnson, Vermont, in the coming months. As written by the Stowe Reporter, Comeau is turning to the people of Johnson to help name the new store. He turned to the Johnson Front Porch Forum and got more than 100 name suggestions from his future customers!
Since Tropical Storm Irene shuttered the Grand Union in Johnson in 2011, local folks have not had a local option for groceries. This will be a wonderful step forward for yet another small local business, and we're glad that FPF could play a small role.
The original posting…
After many months of hard work, a new Johnson Grocery is very close to becoming a reality! Mike Comeau – Vermont entrepreneur who owns Richmond Market in Richmond and Village Market in Waterbury – is finalizing plans to open a new grocery at the former Grand Union site in our community. Mike is looking for a name for Johnson's future grocery store. He would like the store to have a name that identifies with Johnson as a community and is meaningful to us. So please, if you have suggestions for the store name, reply to the forum or email to me. I will collect your ideas and forward to Mike. Mike is also looking for a logo for his sign and letterhead so if you have suggestions for the logo as well, please let me know.

Facebook vs. Housework? Foursquare on the Ropes?
#VT – Not everyone is rosy about all social media. First, from Information Week…
A recent study from The University of Canterbury at New Zealand shows… What was a bit surprising was how Facebook fared: It placed 29th out of 30 daily behaviors that study participants were asked to rank. In fact, it would seem, the only thing that makes people happy less than Facebook is recovering from illness. Facebook ranked 28th in engagement and 24th in pleasure. It ranked dead last in meaning…Ranking higher than Facebook on the happiness, meaning and engagement meter were housework, studying, and paid work… I'm not a huge housework fan, but when it comes to happiness, meaning and engagement, I get more out of housework than I get from Facebook. After I clean the kitchen, for example, I am happy with how nice it looks. There's meaning in what I did: My family has clean dishes and a clean workspace. We don't worry about food poisoning… I think the point is that activities with purpose give us happiness, meaning and a sense of engagement — and Facebook all too often seems to serve none of these areas. That should worry businesses who hope to use Facebook to their benefit.
Here's a prediction: Foursquare will be the next highly-funded casualty in the social media sphere… Rather than be disruptive, Foursquare is being dysfunctional. The company is trying desperately to follow industry leaders instead of leading an industry. They are stuck in social media no man's land.Foursquare was founded in 2009 as a local "check-in" service. To-date, the company has raised more than $70 million (the last funding valued the company at $600 million). In 2010, Facebook, Google and Yelp added their own version of Foursquare's most compelling feature – the check-in. This summer, after getting crushed for two years by competitors, Foursquare decided to finally de-emphasize check-in and the game it had created around becoming "mayor" of a location. Only geeks with dreams of being the Michael Bloomberg of the Soho Starbucks were playing…Don't get me wrong; checking in is useful on a user's primary social platform if they don't mind the privacy implications. Many people want to let friends know where they are or brag about being at a cool event. But like the GPS was to TomTom, the "check-in" is to Foursquare. It was their one trick. Satellite navigation went into both cars and phones – bruising TomTom. Similarly the check-in was built into Facebook, Yelp, Google and Trip Advisor. Will it be the death of Foursquare's pony? By the time Foursquare realized they were becoming irrelevant, it was too late. I estimate that the company has cash for 12 more months of operation with its current 150 employees. There may still be time for a fix.

Trouble is that the "triptan" molecules themselves are very bitter, and it's just hard to cover that up.

It's an unfortunate problem, though, that patients start on a month's worth of samples, fall in love with the drug, and finally get around to presenting the prescription to the pharmacy - only to find out that it's Prior Authorization only, and/or not covered, and/or an outrageous copay. Then I'm the jerk who's making it difficult for them to get the drug. And they've used up all their samples!

Soooo...what I'm getting to is...just a suggestion to make their lives (read: my life) easier: can you tell your patients to go to the pharmacy with the Rx BEFORE they start the samples? We can run a claim and tell them right there if it's Prior Auth (and doc can get started on approval), etc.

I'm just sayin'.

I don't consider myself a tool of pharma. I use A LOT of generics preferentially for most conditions.

But there are some conditions where there are no generics available, or where those that are are quite inferior to the brands.

If a patient may need an expensive drug, I'd rather let them try it for free for a month to see if it's even worth the co-pay.

I also use a lot of my samples to support patients who otherwise couldn't afford their medications. Many docs seem to hate doing this, but I have no problem with it. When I had a health issue during my 2nd year of med school, I had no money for the only med that helped me. A kind PA at student health gave me samples each week until I was cured. I'd rather take the time to give out free samples than see my patients go without treatment.Grumpy, M.D.http://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-55910050585249096052009-08-28T22:47:23.161-04:002009-08-28T22:47:23.161-04:00Quick question for you Dr. G: Our hospital (large...Quick question for you Dr. G:

Our hospital (large, tertiary, urban center) currently has a policy in place that would prohibit the use of samples starting in 2010.

Do you feel the use of samples, in general, helps with access to medication, or perpetuates the problem by supplying patients with much more expensive drugs rather than therapeutically generic equivalents?

Understandably if there are no other generic alternatives for a drug class, samples are great, but we were discussing this policy in the pharmacy today and I thought a physician's perspective would be interesting.

Thanks!Stephanie Dhttp://email@example.com

Home delivery--bringing primary care to the housebound elderly.
New England Journal of Medicine 359(23):2409 (2008) PMID 19052122
As baby boomers enter their 60s, their increasing medical needs and a worsening shortage of primary care doctors are expected to fuel a crisis in health care for the elderly. Dr. Susan Okie reports that meeting their medical needs will most likely require increasing reliance on midlevel providers (nurse practitioners and physician's assistants), as well as the use of multidisciplinary teams. Nurse practitioner Gail Metcalf toted her medical bag up the steep stairway of a triple-decker house in Dorchester, a low-income neighborhood of Boston, and greeted her patient, Mrs. E, a Jamaican woman in her mid-80s. Mrs. E, who is legally blind and has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hypertension, neuropathy, a thoracic aneurysm, and other medical problems, sank into a lift chair and began describing her symptoms as Metcalf examined her. Her back ached and her arms burned, she said, especially at night: "That's the time when it really comes on. Sometimes, I feel life is leaving me." Mrs. E's agitation . . .DOI: 10.1056/NEJMp0808067

water line joint leak
good afternoon,
my problem is this. the 3/4" water line from service to my water heater (hot water line) is leaking. the top part of the pipe is pvc, then the 2 nut, pvc connecter, and into the copper pipe that leads to my water heater. i purchased a new 3/4" X 3/4" coupling, followed the instructions, and turned back on the water from outside. i still have a leak at the top of the coupling where it is pvc. i took everything apart and reassembled it, making sure that everything was tight, but it still leaks. any advice?
Are you using any compound on the threads ?? You'll just have to keep trying till you get it..There's Something you aren't doing right
in following the instructions
first, thank you for taking the time to offer me some help. i'm using the qest qbc44 3/4X 3/4" coupling. i also asked the guy @ home depot should i use any type of sealant, both he and the instructions on the pack state that you should not use any type of sealant. i'm out there now trying to get it right. i hope this works, man i need a shower!! thanks again for the info...
If it's on the hot water side .. It needs to be rated for hot water. If it's got threads I use thread compound..
good evening,
i found out that my problem was that the pvc end of the pipe needed to be cut, once i did that then everything fit tight and when i turned the water back on... no leaks! thanks again, this is a GREAT site and i will be checking back..

Just bought an m3, need some answers! !
I recently bought an Bmw M3 2003 Convertible from U.K and imported to Sweden.
I went to the controll-department today(to get Swedish registration papers and plates)
But they sayed I needed to change/fix theese thing before I get plates and papers;
Headlights (Because in England the lights have a curve to the left and in Europe and USA they have the curve to the right... So they sayed I needed to change the headlights, my question is, do I need to change the whole headlights or just the trimming inside?
And if I need to change, where should I buy? Can I sell my old one in the U.K?
Should I buy Angel eyes, buy original xenon or cheap crap?
I went to the BMW dealer in Sweden and the headlights cost 3500$, is that a good or bad price?
They also sayed that I need to fix so that the both rear fog lights work or just the left, and not the right like the m3 is right now (probably normal in the U.K?)
Somebody know how to make both fog lights work behind or change the side so the left side work?
The last thing I needed to fix was some kind of a plastic under the car close to the right tire (left tire in Europe and USA).
The plastic was attached to some kind of a sensor that automaticly adjust the headlights when you turn the car on...
I ordered it from BMW dealer in Sweden, cost about 50$.
The plastic was attached from the sensor to the front axle..
They thing marked with red is the part I was thinking of. Is it easy to replace ?
Sorry for sounding like a amateur.
Thanks for answers.
My last question is where can I find the product on the last picture?
What is the name of the item? What is the price and what is the cover for? Is it easy to put on?
Rear fog lights: Open the carpeting by the trunk lid and just run a wire from the rear fog on the right side to the rear fog on the left side. You may need to drop by the dealer to get a socket for the bulb. Shouldn't cost you much.
That piece isn't difficult to replace, but it's easier if you've got a friend. You'll need to grab the washer with a pair of pliers or something, and snap the cover onto the nozzle. You may need to remove the headlights and the trim if you're not able to grab onto the nozzle.

Hello. Thanks for answers!
I have the headlights with two different level-switch things. See picture.. The one on the right side is to level the adjustment up and down for the lights (nr2 on the picture). I have tried the left level-switch(nr1 on the picture) and no respons, what is that switch for?
Do you think if I buy the housing I will get the curve to go to the right side just like the U.S and european cars?
What about the projector shield, do you think that part is the one making the light go as a curve on the left side?
I found some Angel Eyes on ebay for 400$, is that really bad quality? do you recommend buying those or is it better to buy OEM?
And do you know something about the plastic under the car? Its the plastic connected to the front axle i think. its the plastic Connected from the light adjuster sensor to axle i think... Is that hard to change?
I also found some OEM for 775$, I also found some headlights on ebay, 300$ for left side and 250$ for front side. But is it better for me to buy a pair from one person or 2pieces from 2 different persons...
Thanks for helping me out!

a blog about running fast with style
I wasn't entirely certain I was going to run this race. My legs were still sore and tired from my Wednesday night workout. I was also doubting my conditioning after my 7k the previous Saturday.
This race was near my place which meant I could sleep in but it also meant it was going to be hilly, REALLY, REALLY hilly.
It was perfect running conditions with overcast skies and mid to high 50's at the start. The course was one big loop.
They had everyone line-up by pace. Anyone planning on running in the 6 minute or 7 minute range were told to start at the front. No one was really excited to admit their paces but reluctantly a few of us gathered towards the start.
I saw a speedy gal from my running group and figured she'd win (for reals she ran in the Olympic trials for the women's marathon this year). I tried to look to see if there were any more women.
I saw one gal who I've seen running in the neighborhood (pretty fast) and thought maybe we'd run together. As I was still over analyzing the competition we got the final count down warning and then we were off.
I know this will surprise you all but I had no race plan. I did know I didn't want to repeat my crash from the week before so I vowed to go out more conservatively. Making my conservative plan a bit easier was the really steep hill on mile one.
We dashed across the start line and not even 100 meters into the race I was being passed by everyone. I looked at my watch 6:25. Ugh! BE CONSERVATIVE!! Just let them pass you! And pass me they did.
We turned left then right and started up the hill. I quickly passed everyone back.
I was the second place woman but not for long. A gal in full length running pants, long sleeve shirt and earphones passed me. She looked like she was dressed for a warm-up, most of us were in short sleeves and shorts.
I passed her back briefly and then she passed me again. I told myself to stick to my plan and let her go.It was hard for me to do because she was breathing so much harder than me, but I had to run my own race.
Mile 1 was just under 7 minute mile pace (not bad with that nasty hill).
The next two miles weren't bad pace wise (6:30 mids and 6:40) but I'd still expect my 8k to be faster. I also couldn't help but wonder why I'd decided this race was a good idea and wondered if I'd make it to the finish line.
Before I knew though I was past the 3 mile marker and I knew the next miles was downhill. At one point I was under 6:00 minute mile pace but finished it in the lower 6s.
I passed a guy and gained on the second place woman. I spent the whole mile trying to decide if I was going to try to catch her. But if I was really honest with myself I'd been trying to catch her the entire time.
A mile to go and I figured I'd give it a push but I just couldn't close the gap. We made it to under 800m and I was getting comfortable with the idea of third place.
There was a very, very (did I mention very?) slight uphill and all of a sudden I was within striking distance. How did that happen? How badly do I want 2nd? How much is this going to hurt? Why am I SO competitive?
We rounded the corner and she could tell I was there, I think I actually startled her because she ended-up running on the inside of the cones for the last turn instead of the outside.
I took the outside and it felt like the final turn in and 800m. If I had any kick I'd better hurry up and find it. I knew she'd started behind me so if I really wanted to second I'd have to find another gear.
Gear found. I crossed the line 3 seconds ahead of her. She probably thinks I was crazy for kicking so hard at the end.
We talked and the end and she was super nice. I wished we'd been able to work together during the race (next time!).
We talked to the first place gal from my group. Her pace was 30 seconds faster than mine, now that's fast!
I ran a nice cool down and was happy my legs actually felt good. I was even more happy to put the previous week's race behind me. I really didn't think I'd run in the 6:30's on this course, so maybe I'm in better shape than I thought.
Even though this was a hilly course I loved it and plan on running it again next year.
Two races in just over a week. Time for a week off (of racing that is… not running).
Anyone prefer courses with hills over flat courses? Maybe it's just me…

China is an important market for Apple for two reasons. First, it is a major emerging market, which means it's recognized as a big opportunity for business growth by almost all device manufacturers. Apple's investments in the Chinese market have been expanding lately, as the company has significantly increased the number of its retail stores there. Second, China is where Apple's profitable iPhone and iPad get assembled, and as you've probably heard, there have been a number of problems lately with the factories working on Apple's devices. The latter has also been among the reasons for Tim Cook's previous visits to China, when he personally examined the work conditions in some of those factories.

Major League Baseball clubs on Thursday were racing to beat Friday's arbitration deadline to sign players.
If they did not beat the deadline, they would be facing arbitration hearings next month. Arbitration figures are scheduled to be exchanged Friday if no deal is reached.
Among Thursday's signings were:
--Right-handed starter Neftali Feliz, whose season ended in May with Tommy John surgery, agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million deal with the Texas Rangers. He had a 3.16 ERA after being converted from a reliever.
--Right-hander Drew Storen agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Washington Nationals. The reliever had a 2.37 ERA in a 30 1/2 innings after returning from elbow surgery.
--The Milwaukee Brewers announced they have agreed to a one-year deal with outfielder Carlos Gomez for a reported $4.3 million. He hit .260 with 19 home runs last season.
--MLB.com reported the Los Angeles Angels are close to reaching a two-year, $9 million deal with third baseman Alberto Callaspo.
--The New York Mets and Bobby Parnell agreed to a one-year $1.7 million contract. Parnell had a 5-4 record with a 2.49 ERA last season.
--The Chicago Cubs and right-hander Matt Garza agreed to a one-year, $10.25 million contract. He had a 3.91 ERA before being shut down in mid-July.
--Right-hander Joba Chamberlain, who pitched only two months last season because of pair of injuries, agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Yankees. He will make $1,875,000 this season, according to the New York Post. He made $1.65 million last season.
--The Cincinnati Reds and right-hander Logan Ondrusek reached a two-year deal, but no terms were announced. The reliever was 5-2 last season with a 3.46 ERA.
--Acquired earlier this offseason, left-hander Tony Sipp agreed to a one-year, $1.275 million deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The reliever had a 4.42 ERA last season.
--Catcher John Jaso and left fielder Seth Smith avoided arbitration by agreeing to one-year deals with the Oakland A's.

Eastern Delights shop at Centro Bankstown. 05 August 2011. Photo by Simon Alekna. Photo: simon alekna spa
One morning, over four years ago, I walked from NSW Parliament to Martin Place to join hundreds of people standing in the drizzle mesmerised by an outdoor broadcast of Kevin Rudd's apology to the stolen generation.
It was impossible not to be moved by Rudd's big hearted speech which sought to remove a "stain from the soul of Australia".
He told a compelling story of the 'coming of the welfare men' to an Aboriginal community outside of Tennant Creek.
They rounded up children and put them on the back of trucks, stealing them from their families all in the name of 'protection'.
Mr Rudd talked of leaving this history and looking to a future where all Australians were truly equal.
Since that special day the Labor government has taken a step backwards when it comes to black and white relations.
It has hitched its wagon to Howard's Northern Territory Intervention and is now extending one aspect of the intervention – the 'BasicsCard' - to Sydney's South West suburb of Bankstown and four other places around the nation.
Just picture it. You are already out of work - struggling to pay your rent, feed and look after your kids, manage your mental illness. Then the government decides to force you to accept a 'BasicsCard', a kind of credit card which holds up to 70 per cent of your Centrelink payments which no longer flow into your bank account.
You have to queue separately in a handful of large supermarkets to do your shopping and you are only allowed to buy certain items using the card.
For over five years some Aboriginal people living in the Northern Territory have been forced to face this kind of indignity. They report that having the 'BasicsCard' is like a punishment. They talk of feeling acutely embarrassed and stigmatised. And that the card makes them feel like a second class citizen.
Maybe at a pinch you could justify the indignity if you knew it could improve your life. But in the Northern Territory researchers found it to be no silver bullet. In fact they find it hard to identify any positive impacts.
For instance there has been no change to the sale of fresh fruit and veggies, soft drink or tobacco in ten stores surveyed across the Northern Territory. Of 180 women who had lived with income management 79 per cent wanted to exit the system, 85 per cent had not altered what they purchased and 74 per cent felt discriminated against.
Compulsory income management has also been found to have 'profound' long-term negative impacts on people's psychological and social well-being and their cultural integrity. And the whole futile exercise is expensive. Best estimates suggest it costs $4,100 a year for every person on income management. This is about a third of the Newstart allowance unemployed people receive.
I have visited Bankstown a number of times to talk to residents about the pilot. This community is understandably offended that they have been targeted for the trial, without consultation and over 50 community organisations – unions, church, migrant and women's groups - have formed a coalition to block it.
One of the campaigners I've met is Aboriginal elder Margaret Goneis, Chair of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advisory Committee. Margaret explained to me that many people in her community, particularly the elderly, are fearful of losing their independence under the new scheme. They have worked hard over the years to manage their pension in a responsible way for themselves and their families and are rightfully concerned.
The local Muslim Women's Association told me Muslim women often don't shop at the big shopping centres – they visit the cheaper little shops along the shopping strip and are worried they would not be able to use a 'BasicsCard' there. Many said they felt the trial was basically racist and feared they would be humiliated if they were singled out and had their money micromanaged.
The local coalition fighting the trial has received wonderful support from the PSA union. Members are refusing to refer potential candidates for income management in Bankstown to Centrelink. As a result only a handful of people are enrolled in the pilot, all joining voluntarily.
We have learnt in recent decades that people drowning in a myriad of social problems, entrenched over generations, won't benefit from this top down paternalistic 'solution' reminiscent of a less enlightened era.
The collective wisdom is that what people in a tough spot need most is trained workers who can help them get a job, manage their bills, gain an education or improve their parenting. The federal government needs to a deep breath, look at the evidence, and drop income management. So that in decades to come a future Australian Prime Minister is not again forced to apologise for a regressive program, built on a house of straw, and imposed on vulnerable people.

Standard versus Premium Hi-Fi E92 M3?

Edit: I can see now that BMW is forcing the Individual Audio with the Premium Package for MY2013. It was not like that until this model year.
Individual Audio sounds better than the HiFi, but not $1900 better IMO. I had IA in my 2008 M3 (not ordered, just sitting at the lot), and now I have HiFi in my 2012 M3 (ordered as is), and I found the IA impossible to tune the way I wanted to sound. But most M3 owners seems to like it a lot. I normally dump the OEM sound and go aftermarket, which the HiFi is a much better platform to do that than the IA.
There is a
option, albeit hidden: special request the Logic7 system for about $1000. It does not have any iDrive requirement so it can be installed with the OEM HU if so desired. One forum member in the USA had it approved by BMWNA for his non-iDrive M3, AFAIK.
Logic7 sounds better than both the HiFi and the IA
for the money
, IMO. You will not get $900 in sound improvement with the IA, but you will get $1000 improvement over the HiFi.

Hey gang!
My wife saw the effort I was putting into a DP97, and decided to treat me to an early birthday present, and buy me a fiberglass "Mystery Helmet" off ebay. Money order was sent, and the day the helmet arrived via UPS, the driver informs me that "The box looks banged up a bit. Want to check it out?" I opened the box, and it LOOKED alright, but after he left, and I pulled it out, not only was it shattered, but a rain of fiberglass chips came pouring out as well. I felt ill. I had really looked forward to having something better than a DP 97, only to get this. I contacted the seller, showed him the pics, and he is going to be sending me a replacement, and tossing in a resin rangefinder and stalk as well. WHEW! Anyways, here's the pics:
Tell me you wouldnt cry seeing this?
Thankfully the seller is honorable! He told me the replacement would be sent out within the next week. Can't wait, but I am nervous as heck till it gets here, hopefully in ONE piece!!!

What Happens to Your Facebook Account When You Die?
In 2005, college student Loren Williams was killed in a motorcycle accident. His grieving mother, yearning to feel closer to her son, wanted to use his Facebook page. More than just seeing the site, she wanted to see his correspondence, to read his messages, in hopes of understanding her son better.
A 25-year-old federal law, however, barred her from accessing his account.
See also:
- Podcast: Accessing Your Family Member's Facebook Account after They Die
- Video: Planning for Your Social Media Accounts When You Die
Digital media has evolved at breakneck speed, giving lawmakers little time to catch up. The latest federal law concerning digital media after you die is from 1986, while Oklahoma, of all places, has the most progressive and up-to-date law about digital estate on its books.
The 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act prevents disclosing stored communications unless there's a court order. Oklahoma's laws, on the other hand, allow disclosure to estate fiduciaries.
Facebook refused Williams' mother, Karen, access to his account and even changed the password when Karen got it from a friend. She eventually retained a lawyer and sued Facebook in 2007, finally getting the court to issue an order to allow her access.
License Expired
When you sign up for a website, you are agreeing to terms of license, so any "assets" under that license fall under licensing rules, says Florida-based estate planning lawyer David Goldman.
If you have an iTunes account, and you purchase music through that account, when you die the license for that account expires. The same principle applies to Facebook or Twitter, so when you die the license to all the content generated on that account, technically, expires. So if people gain access to these accounts after the user has died, it could be a liability, Goldman says. Legally speaking, once someone passes, their licenses to all that media expires.
"If you have an iPhone, you'd have hundreds of dollars worth of apps or thousands of dollars worth of music. When you die those licenses expire," Goldman says.
It's a little different with a financial instrument like PayPal, where the money wouldn't disappear, but for survivors of the deceased to get access to digital accounts, they'd need to hire a lawyer.
"There is litigation against AOL and Google to access emails. The courts have, after a bunch of time and a bunch of money, appeared to grant access. So far as I know they haven't really provided access, but compiled the content. You're basically getting raw data but not getting access to the account itself," he says. Opening a probate case can costs thousands of dollars and take time. Some attorneys suggest using a will or trust that gives access to a password through a separate writing memorandum – a document that can be attached to a will, so the will does not need to be re-written every time there's an adjustment.
The best way to ensure a digital legacy is to create accounts in the name of a trust. If the account is in the name of a trust, the trustees and beneficiaries can retain access to the digital licenses.
Digital Death
The issue of digital estate planning goes beyond whether fiduciaries should have access to social media issues. There's online banking, documents, and the thousand other little things people do electronically.
"If you run an Internet-based business, digital estate planning needs to be integral to your plans. You need to have detailed instructions," says Seattle-based estate attorney Wendy S. Goffe, a lawyer at Graham & Dunn, PC.
"If you're a professional photographer and you've got all your photos online, or you're an author and you self-publish online and you have all your work stored in the ether, it's critical. It is your legacy. You can have a Pulitzer-winning novel, it'll be all gone," she says.
There aren't any concrete rules in place, either. Even estate-planning attorneys may be less than web-savvy – she admits with a laugh that her Seattle clientele are often more tech-smart than she. Consumers should make sure their attorneys are aware of their digital assets, and if needed, engage an adviser who knows his or her way around digital estate.
"I think we're in a time of disruptive change where there isn't a right answer, and there are a lot of approximate answers. The standards are changing really quickly, but one good option is to use a site that stores all this stuff and then tell someone you have it there," she says. Don't just give your attorney your password information, though.
"Another (option) is to put it all on a thumb drive and stick it in a safe deposit box," she adds.
A person's will should specify what he or she wants done with all their digital property after they pass. Goffe says, "A person may have a self-published Pulitzer-winning novel on Amazon that would be deleted forever" if a fiduciary doesn't know it exists. On the other hand, a parent might not want their children to read their journal, and that parent should make those wishes clear in a will.
If other states or the federal government adopt laws similar to Oklahoma's concerning rights to digital media, beneficiaries could gain access to log-in information; but until then, consumers have to obtain a court order to get access to their loved ones' social media sites after they've passed.

China Boy (edition 1994)
by Gus Lee
Work details
China Boy by Gus Lee
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book gives us insight into growing up in an immigrant family struggling for survival in a very foreign San Francisco - racism/bigotry being a main theme.
The best book I've read this year, hands down.
Much different from what I expected. I had a lot of empathy for the protagonist, growing up in a tough neighborhood in a family with difficulties.
Eh, I gave up after slogging half of the way through. Impressive descriptive phrases aside, this novel is entirely tedious. Where's the plot arc? The protagonist comes off as a pasty, indolent child, spoiled soft by his position as the only son (born after three older sisters) of a Chinese couple relocated to San Francisco after the Cultural Revolution.
So what he has an almost-comically evil white stepmother? So what the author seeks to create a vibrant '50s hood? It's put to no use and the protagonist is a whiny wimp, not a victim of forced cultural assimilation.
What is amazing about children, what is amazing about immigrants facing off the cultural shock and inevitable clash- is adaptation. A character who adapts to nothing is useless. I would have much rather have heard the same story from the perspective of one of the protagonist's seemingly successful sisters.
This is a novel about a little American born Chinese boy living in a poor neighborhood in San Fransico. His parents fled China with his 3 older sisters when the communists were taking over. When his mother is alive his culture and home life were very different than after her death and his father's new marriage to a white woman. The step-mother tried to get rid of everything Chinese and caused lots of chaos in the family. Add to this the fact that she locked the little boy out of the house in a very rough and dangerous neighborhood so she wouldn't have to deal with him. The story is mostly about how this very small target survives. A very quick and easy read.

New roof and turbine put in crooked
I recently had a new roof put on. New turbines were installed last year. I recently noticed one turbine is installed crooked (on a slant) Is this a big problem to fix? What happens if I just leave it as is?
Oh NO!!!
Your air is going to be crooked now!
Just kidding.
Besides it looking stupid, from your description, as long as the turbine can still spin freely, it should be just as ineffective as any other turbine vent. Balanced ventilation relies mostly on the proper and equal amounts of attic air flowage going in as out.
So, as long as you have 100 % ventilated soffit intake air, and an equal amount of exhaust air, everything should be just fine.
For the full answer, you must provide the dimensions of your home so I can calculate the total NFVA of Intake and Exhaust air required for your attic air flow. Take outside measurements from the entire length of the eave ny how deep from fron to back it is. That will sort of give you a "footprint" of your home. Round the figure up rather than down if you pace it off instead of using a tape measure. Just do this from the ground.
Also, what size turbine vent and how much Net Free Air was it rated for on the box, so I am not guessing at that. They usually are 125 sq in or 250 sq in per turbine vent.
Hey, Ed, I am looking for a salesman for my company, if you ever become interested. ;)

Lately my hair has been really flat and I don't know if its the weather or what but what products should I use for volume? Thanks
Maybe it's more about technique, or method, than product? Try clipping up your roots with duckbill clips while they dry, or gently hold your roots up while blasting a shot of heat at them...or, blowdry your hair upside-down..or, use the "rocker" headshake - bend at the waist, then shake your hair around...
Or check out the "techniques" sticky on the top of both the newbies' and the general hair discussion forum. There are many there that may help you :D
You can also "pineapple" (put your hair in a ponytail at the very top crown of your head) your hair at night, as you sleep - next day you will have great root volume...if none of those things work, then maybe your problems are stemming from products that worked well during summer, when everything is humid, that don't work well in the dry winter ;p hoped that helped, and good luck!
There are loads of far more experienced curly people here, and no doubt they will chime in :)
Another possibility is glycerin in your hair products and the dew point in your area? http://www.naturallycurly.com/frizzforecast

Kee Lite Clothes Rail and Bench
Kee Lite is a great solution for a lightweight industrial feel, Edward Pollio from New York Design and Construction designed and installed the clothes rails, racks and benches at Cap City in West New York
Edward Pollio-The bench is constructed from layers of oak plywood using solid oak around the outside covering the edge of the plywood. There are 5 layers of plywood on the bench; the top and bottom layers are 1.5m (5) by 750mm (30). The inside layers of the bench are made up of scrap waste plywood that was left over from other projects. Instead of throwing out the waste we used it.
We hope you agree that this is recycling at its best.

July 9, 2010–Oscar-winning director and accomplished actor Mel Gibson has been dropped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment.
LA Times on Gibson's latest scandal:
Earlier this week, the agency's Patrick Whitesell informed the actors' representatives that he would no longer be represented by the agency.
Gibson's longtime agent, Ed Limato, died July 3, and a funeral will take place in New York next week.
WME partner Ari Emanuel had previously expressed hostility toward Gibson after the actor made anti-Semitic remarks and made remarks implying skepticism about the Holocaust.
An agency source said the only reason the agency had represented Gibson in the first place was his association with Limato. "Mel was really important to Ed," an agency source said. "He was with him for 32 years and I think Ed saw him as a son." But he added, "The world knows how Ari feels and he has never changed that opinion."
Gibson's troubles have only increased in recent weeks with allegations of bigoted tirades against blacks and Latinos and reports that he is under investigation for assaulting his ex-girlfriend. Several studio executives have said in the wake of these disclosures that they consider the troubled actor to untouchable in the industry. "I'd rather get engaged to Lindsay Lohan than have anything to do with him," one studio chief said.
What Will Happen to His Projects
A spokesman for Gibson said the star had always planned to do without an agent after Limato's death. He added, "At this point he doesn't seem to be in need of an agent." He said Gibson has projects lined up for the next two years. Those include starring roles in two films: "The Beaver," a dark comedy directed by and co-starring Jodie Foster, and "How I Spent My Summer Vacation," that Gibson co-wrote.
News of Gibson being dropped from WME came as audio of Gibson screaming at his girlfriend surfaced on Radar Online.

For every 100 centenarian women, there were only 20.7 centenarian men. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110428/DC91889LOGO) These figures come from a special report released today based on the 2010 Census that provides a portrait of the centenarian population in the United States describing their age, sex, race, Hispanic origin and living arrangement characteristics. The report, Centenarians: 2010, also compares centenarians with other age groups in the older population. According to the report, the population 100 and older made up a small proportion of the total U.S. population — representing less than two per 10,000 people. Centenarians represented 19 per 10,000 people who were 70 and older. More than half (62.5 percent) of centenarians were age 100 or 101 while roughly 92 percent were ages 100 to 104. Supercentenarians — those ages 110 and older — represented 0.6 percent of the centenarian population. Other highlights: Race and Hispanic Origin The 2010 Census showed that centenarians were less diverse than the total U.S. population. In 2010, 82.5 percent of centenarians were white alone, compared with 72.4 percent white alone in the total population. Among centenarians, 5.8 percent were Hispanic while the total population was 16.3 percent Hispanic. Living Arrangements Centenarian women were slightly more likely to live in a nursing home (35.2 percent), and centenarian men were more likely to be living with others in a household (43.5 percent) than any other living arrangement. Comparing living arrangements across race and Hispanic-origin groups shows considerable differences in the living arrangements of each group's oldest members. Centenarians who were white or non-Hispanic had the highest likelihood of living alone (36.4 percent and 35.0 percent, respectively).
