Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
We would like to tell you about our adoption program so we can get you started! Our adoption process works as follows:
1. Complete our Adoption Application, Release, and Adoption Agreement. Please provide us with a phone number where we can reach you to throughout the adoption process.
2. Email us back your completed application. We will review all of your info and let you know if you would be a good fit for our adoption program.
3. We will arrange a face-to-face meeting with your family, any pets you may already have, and the dog you are interested in adopting.
4. If everyone gets along with the dog you are interested in, we will make sure your home is ready for your new pet and drop him or her off to you.
If you have questions or would like receive a copy of our Adoption Application to complete, please e-mail your request to email@example.com or call our rescue phone at 919-457-3719. If you contact us via phone, please be sure to leave a voicemail as we do not return calls unless a voicemail is left!
Thank you again for your interest in adopting a PCPBR dog and we hope to hear from you soon!
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Monkeys damage crops on 15,596 hectares of Agri land: J&K Govt
Monkeys have been annually damaging various type of crops covering over 15,000 hectares of land in Jammu division of the state.
Jammu: Monkeys have been annually damaging various type of crops covering over 15,000 hectares of land in Jammu division of the state.
In Jammu division, major crops like maize, wheat, rice and vegetable crops covering 15596 hectares of agricultural land falling in more than 250 villages of Jammu, Kathua, Udhampur and Reasi districts get damaged annually by monkeys, Minister for Agriculture G H Mir told state Legislative Assembly here.
Replying to the call attention notice of rebel BJP member Jagdish Raj Sapolia regarding monkey menace, Mir said the annual financial loss on this account has been worked to the tune of Rs 32.93 crore.
In Kashmir division, there is less threat of monkeys to the agriculture crops, Mir said, adding in hilly areas near forests, there are areas in pockets where there is little threat to agricultural crops from wild animals, including monkeys.
As far as the Horticulture sector is concerned, in Jammu division, monkeys cause substantial loss to the fruit crops like mango, guava, bear, grapes, citres fruit, litchi, sandy pear, peach, plum and apricot in an area of 68,384 hectares of land.
The estimate damage is caused to 9,426 metric tonnes of fruit production at estimated cost of Rs 472 lakh.

Defining OS specific code in Haskell
I've got an ugly piece of Haskell code:
213 baselineContextSSL :: IO SSLContext 214 baselineContextSSL = do 215 ctx <- SSL.context -- a completely blank context 216 contextSetDefaultCiphers ctx 217 #if defined __MACOSX__ 218 contextSetVerificationMode ctx VerifyNone 219 #elif defined __WIN32__ 220 contextSetVerificationMode ctx VerifyNone 221 #else 222 contextSetCADirectory ctx "/etc/ssl/certs" 223 contextSetVerificationMode ctx $ 224 VerifyPeer True True Nothing 225 #endif 226 return ctx
this being necessary because the non-free operating systems don't store their X.509 certificates in a place that openssl can reliably discover them. This sounds eminently solvable at lower levels, but that's not really my immediate problem; after all, this sort of thing is what
#ifdefs are for. The problem is needing to get an appropriate symbol based on what OS you're using defined.
I naively assumed there would be
__LINUX__ and
__MACOSX__ and
macros already defined by GHC because, well, that's just the sort of wishful thinking
that powers the universe.
When I asked the haskell-cafe mailing list for suggestions, Krzysztof Skrzętnicki said that I could use in my project's
.cabal file. Nice, but problematic because you're not always building using Cabal; you might be working in
ghci, you might be using a proper
Makefile to build your code, etc. Then Henk-Jan van Tuyl pointed out that you can get at the Cabal logic care of
Distribution.System. Hey, that's cool! But that would imply depending on and linking the Cabal library into your production binary. That's bad enough, but the even bigger objection is that binaries aren't portable, so what's the point of having a binary that — at runtime! — asks what operating system it's on? No; I'd rather find that out at build time and then let the C pre-processor include only the relevant code.
This feels simple and an appropriate use of CPP; even the symbol names look just about like what I would have expected (stackoverflow said so, must be true). Just need to get the right symbol defined at build time. But how?
Build Types
cabal install one sees all kinds of packages building and I'd definitely noticed some interesting things happen; some packages fire off what is obviously an autoconf generated
./configure script; others seem to use
ghci or
runghc to dynamically interpret a small Haskell program. So it's obviously do-able, but as is often the case with Haskell it's not immediately apparent where to get started.
Lots of libraries available on Hackage come with a top-level
Setup.hs. Whenever I'd looked in one all I'd seen is:
1 import Distribution.Simple 2 main = defaultMain
which rather rapidly gave me the impression that this was a legacy of older modules, since running:
$ cabal configure
$ cabal build
$ cabal install
on a project without a
Setup.hs apparently just Does The Right Thing™.
It turns out there's a reason for this. In a project's
.cabal file, there's a field
build-type that everyone seems to define, and of course we're told to just set this to "Simple":
27 build-type: Simple
what else would it be? Well, the answer to that is that "Simple" is not the default;
"Custom" is (really? weird). And a custom build is one where Cabal will compile and invoke
Setup.hs when
cabal configure is called.
When you look in the documentation of the Cabal library (note, this is different from the cabal-install package which makes the
cabal executable we end up running) Distribution.Simple indeed has
defaultMain but it has friends. The interesting one is
defaultMainWithHooks which takes this monster as its argument; sure enough, there are pre-conf, post-conf, pre-build, post-build, and so on; each one is a function which you can easily override.
20 main :: IO () 21 main = defaultMainWithHooks $ simpleUserHooks { 22 postConf = configure 23 } 24 25 configure :: Args -> ConfigFlags -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO () 26 configure _ _ _ _ = do 27 ...
yeay for functions as first class objects. From there it was a simple matter to write some code in my
configure function to call Distribution.Simple's
buildOS and write out a
config.h file with the necessary
#define I wanted:
1 #define __LINUX__
Include Paths
We're not quite done yet. As soon as you want to
#include something, you have to start caring about include paths. It would appear the compiler, by default, looks in the same directory as the file it is compiling. Fair enough, but I don't really want to put
config.h somewhere deep in the
src/Network/Http/ tree; I want to put it in the project's top level directory, commonly known as
., also known as "where I'm editing and running everything from". So you have to add a
-I"." option to
ghc invocations in your
Makefiles, your
.cabal file needs to be told in its way:
61 library 62 include-dirs: .
and as for
ghci, it turns out you can put a
.ghci in your sources:
1 :set -XOverloadedStrings 2 :set +m 3 :set -isrc:tests 4 :set -I.
and if you put that in your project root directory, running
ghci there will work without having to specify all that tedious nonsense on the command line.
The final catch is that you have to be very specific about where you put the
#include directive in your source file. Put it at the top? Won't work. After the pragmas? You'd think. Following the module statement? Nope. It would appear that it strictly has to go after the
imports and before any real code. Line 65:
47 import Data.Monoid (Monoid (..), (<>)) 48 import qualified Data.Text as T 49 import qualified Data.Text.Encoding as T 50 import Data.Typeable (Typeable) 51 import GHC.Exts 52 import GHC.Word (Word8 (..)) 53 import Network.URI (URI (..), URIAuth (..), parseURI) 64 65 #include "config.h" 66 67 type URL = ByteString 68 69 -- 70 -- | Given a URL, work out whether it is normal or secure, and then 71 -- open the connection to the webserver including setting the 72 -- appropriate default port if one was not specified in the URL. This 73 -- is what powers the convenience API, but you may find it useful in 74 -- composing your own similar functions. 75 -- 76 establishConnection :: URL -> IO (Connection) 77 establishConnection r' = do 78 ...
You get the idea.
Several people wrote to discourage this practice, arguing that conditional code is the wrong approach to portability. I disagree, but you may well have a simple piece of code being run dynamically that would do well enough just making the choice at runtime; I'd be more comfortable with that if the OS algebraic data type was in base somewhere; linking Cabal in seems rather heavy. Others tried to say that needing to do this at all is openssl's fault and that I should be using something else. Perhaps, and I don't doubt that we'll give tls a try at some point. But for now, openssl is battle-tested crypto and the hsopenssl package is a nice language binding and heavily used in production.
Meanwhile I think I've come up with a nice technique for defining things to drive conditional compilation. You can see the complete
Setup.hs I wrote here; it figures out which platform you're on and writes the
.h file accordingly. If you have need to do simple portability conditionals, you might give it a try.

Trial Date for Greenpeace Demonstrators
(Cincinnati, OH) -- Eight members of a Greenpeace demonstration will stand trial for burglary and vandalism in October, after a very visible protest in March of this year.
Another protester, 35 year old Charles Long, of Oakland, California, will plead guilty to a lesser felony, and will likely avoid jail time.
Last March, the members of Greenpeace got past security, and up to the towers, where they hung banners decrying the company's use of palm oil. One demonstrator was dressed as a tiger, as they claimed palm oil use was leading to deforestation and destruction of the rain forest.
P&G says all that was destroyed was their property, to the tune of $18,000.
Defense attorneys say anything broken was broken when they got there. They've asked to take the jury to the towers for a tour. Judge Robert Winkler will rule August 18th on that request. The trial is scheduled to start October 27th.

Annie's Project to Begin January 17th
Iowa State University (ISU) Extension and Outreach in Montgomery County is excited to offer Annie's Project in Red Oak. The program empowers farm women to be better business partners through networks and by managing and organizing critical information. A steering committee met at the extension office on December 19th and identified two topics unique to this site. The first Annie's Project in southwest Iowa was held in Red Oak in 2005. Since then, more than 200 farm women have participated in 11 southwest Iowa sites.
The six-week course is designed especially for farm women to help them develop their management and decision-making skills for their farms. Sessions include brief presentations, discussions focused on the participants' questions, and computer training to use spreadsheets. Annie's Project gives farm women the opportunity to learn from female agricultural professionals and network with other women in similar situations.
Annie's Project will meet from 6 to 9 p.m. on January 17, January 24, January 31, February 7, February 14, and February 21. Topics include understanding market terminology, interpreting financial statements, and sifting through estate planning tools.
Tim Eggers, ISU Extension Field Ag Economist, and Stephanie Langner, Montgomery County Program Coordinator, thank the members of the Annie's Project Steering Committee for their time and guidance. Eggers and Langner will be seeking presenters in the areas of real estate transactions and drought influenced cow/calf feed management as a result of the steering committee's guidance.
The cost is $75 per person, and a light dinner will be served each evening. Course size is limited. Preregistration is due by January 14. Annie's Project is being funded by a grant from the USDA Risk Management Agency. Farm Credit Services of America is a statewide sponsor of Annie's Project in 2013.
For more information and to register, call Montgomery County Extension at 712-623-2592 or e-mail Stephanie Langner at firstname.lastname@example.com. Registration can also be done online at http://www.ucs.iastate.edu/mnet/annie/quickregister.html

Gainesville Cops Arrest Three Men Before The Crime
Gainesville Police Officers hid in the bushes Thursday night to catch criminals before they commit a crime.
Captain Bart Knowles and other officers called it preventative patrolling, and they caught three men before the act Thursday. 49-year-old Lawrence Limbaugh, 20-year-old Tobaris Fields and 28-year-old Christopher Knight were charged with crimes like loitering and prowling. Even though there aren't severe penalties for the charges, Knowles said it's worth catching it early by placing officers in areas where a lot of burglaries have been occurring. Then, police do the best they can to identify suspicious behavior activities.
"There's no doubt in my mind that these two individuals were about to commit a crime, more specifically, probably a burglary of some sort,†Knowles said.

During a recent trip into my local WH Smiths, I noticed that virtually every hobbie or interest has several magazines to accommodate its followers. Despite the fact that, as a country, we do not read as much as we used to (which is a bad thing), we still regularly buy magazines, as apparently the industry, unlike many others at the moment, is booming. As I approached the check out with my three items (a wrestling video, an Incubus CD and a wrestling magazine) I noticed that *every* person in the queue had at least one magazine. There were pensioners with cross-stitch magazines, middle aged men with car magazines, middle aged women with women's weeklies, young men with computer magazines, young women with music magazines, teenage boys with skating, football or wrestling magazines, teenage girls with girls magazines (what else can you call them?), young boys with Action Man magazines, and young girls with Barbie magazines. Everyone had a magazine. This is a good thing, as it at least shows that kids still read something, if not books. With everyone purchasing a magazine, for some reason I was relieved that I was also buying one. Yes, surprise surprise, it was a wrestling one. However, it was not the wrestling magazine that earned me a crown many months ago, WOW- oh no. I had already bought that earlier in the month. Looking for something to read on the bus home, I decided to take a gamble and buy the official WWF wrestling magazine, something that had long been criticised by so-called "smart" fans. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from it, and at the end of the day, I was right to think that. Here's the op people, enjoy it won't you? Cover It was looking good at the start, all was rosy. The front cover had the beautiful Stephanie McMahon Helmsley on it, burning a picture of her Father Vince, as a way to advance a storyline. The picture quality was astounding, really clear and of an obvious high quality. The wor
ld famous WWF logo took over the top left hand corner of the magazine, as it does every issue. Beneath that was some text, "Stephanie's Evil Plan to Destroy the Federation". This was not good. Typically kayfabe (the term for when magazines etc. make out that wrestling is real. The language was very straight forward, and it threatened that Stephanie was going to take over the federation, no, sorry, "destroy" the federation. This was all a bit too dramatic and nine year old-ish for my liking, and it seemed to be aiming for that market. A further look down the cover showed a headline, giving a blood dripping impression, that said "Doomsday for Daddy". For the main selling point of the magazine, I felt that this was rather poor. However, it is dramatic enough to lure fans in, so I guess it works well, but my personal feeling is a very different feeling. In the top right corner, in a red outline box, was effectively an advertisement for what was inside the magazine, as it stated "Inside: Triple H, Booker T, High Flyers". Hmm, well Triple H is my favourite wrestler currently in the WWF, but for all I know the interview or feature could be lame, but I felt that it was worth the risk...so for the first time in years, I bought the official WWF Magazine. Adverts I might as well get this horrible bit out of the way now, as it is the part I hate about every magazine. Unfortunately, while by no means at FHM levels, the quantity of adverts in this magazine is very high. Of the slim in itself 80 pages, there were a disappointing 26 pages, leaving just 54 pages of actual content. Very poor. Surely for all the money that the WWF generates, they could either reduce the number of adverts or increase the number of pages in the magazine. Unfortunately, they show no sign of doing either option. Contents Not that it is needed, but the Contents section of this magazine is spread over 2 pages...very unnecessary
to be honest. There are two parts to these pages, the features section and the departments section. Most of the features are accompanied by a relevant picture of the article. One particular picture (when I say picture I mean photo by the way) of Stephanie McMahon Helmsley takes up nearly a whole page...a bit unneeded as she is on the cover of the magazine just two pages earlier. There is nothing flashly about this, but it does it's job, and does it quite well. Smack Talk This is the usual letters page that seems to be in every magazine going. Usually, I find this part to be very good, but in this magazine all of the letters have that "fake" appeal to them, as if they were deliberately written to further storylines- which at the end of the day, the magazine is all about. Most of the letters seem suspicious in their pro-WWF stance. Worth a read if you've paid for the magazine, but it is all a bit too suspicious for my liking. The Big Question One of my favourite parts of the magazines, this is always a great read. It is about two magazine editors, as they both talk about a current wrestling issue, with each one putting a different slant on the subject. It has been different in the past, but the current issue sees Mr. Big and Aaron Williams contributing. Effectively, Mr. Big plays the heel commentator role, generally sympathising or backing the wrestlers that the fans boo, whilst Aaron goes for the brown nosed approach, as he claims to be "the fans voice". What a load of tripe! Rookies to Legends Certainly one of the more interesting parts of the magazine, this documents a wrestler who is either new to the wrestling business as a whole, or just new to the WWF. This issue sees the spotlight on Rob Van Dam, the newest WWF sensation, and former ECW wrestler. I would personally like to see this spread over two pages instead of the allotted one, as it really is very interesting. Obviously, fro
m a biased standpoint, it is always better for you if it focuses on a favourite wrestler of yours, but it is always worth a read. Features and Articles These make up the main bulk of the magazine, and are a mix of interviews, articles, histories, opinions, discussions and facts. Unfortunately, despite being the main part, these are generally very poor, and can be often be humiliating to the reader. Unfortunately, the only purpose they serve to the WWF are to advance storylines...which, while they cannot do singlehandedly, they do successfully make readers who are otherwise unaware, what might be happening in the future regarding their favourite wrestlers. The regular main part of these features and interviews is the Q and A Session, which sees one of the top stars in the WWF interviewed about various subjects, as well as playing a small game of word association. Exclusive PPV Coverage No doubt the most popular part of the magazine, this reviews one of the latest WWF Pay-Per-View events. I currently own ITV Digital, so am able to watch WWF every week on Sky Sports, including the PPVs once a month. However, for those fans who do not have access to Sky, this will be extremely useful to them as it tells them who won what, who turned on who, and what went down at the events. Crammed full of action photos and a brief summary of each match, without this in the magazine, I can almost certainly say that circulation would drop. However, it is not flawless, as one large disadvantage is that by the time the magazine comes out, the PPV is 3 months old. Like I say though, it is an essential tool for non-Sky owning fans. WWF I.Q One of my personal favourites, this is the chance for the readers to take a fun wrestling trivia test. As a hardened 11 year fan, the questions are very easy to me, but I am sure to either the newer or younger fan the questions will be far more challenging. Whatever the case, it is a bit of fun and adds
some interaction to the magazine. Off The Mat A rather pointless part of the magazine, this follows a WWF superstar around, away from the TV cameras. The Off the Mat in the issue I happened to purchase was documenting Perry Saturn's warped love for his mop. Very strange stuff, it saw him go shopping, drinking at a fast food restaurant, and believe it or not, receiving a massage! While a touch of light hearted, off beat shenanigans never go amiss- this was a little too stupid, and frankly, was a waste of 4 pages. Value for Money? At £3.00, this magazine does not provide the best value for money. But then again, what else can £3 can towards? While it taught me nothing new, didn't tell me anything special or updated me with the latest information, it provided me with something to do other than stare out of the window during my bus journey, so for that I am eternally grateful! Conclusion I would certainly recommend this magazine for fans who don't own Sky- purely for the PPV results. However, for those lucky enough to, it really is a waste of money. Also, if you own the Internet, then it really would be a pointless exercise to buy this. But, if you are a die-hard fan, then I suppose it will cater quite well. In summary, only buy if it has an article that particularly interests you, involving your favourite wrestler. Otherwise, steer well clear. Smarky
Very good. That is what I think of this extremely good magazine. This month (I think, it is published in America, so it could be last months) contains a story about The Rock's recent return to the WWF. This magazine has everything that the WWF fan needs in order to be kept up to date. It has all sorts of stories on the various WWF superstars, but not only that, it is packed with other things. It has questions to test your WWF knowledge, it has letters from the fans and loads of uselessly great information like the top five WWF products that didn't make the grade. For the real big fans, each month there is a centrefold of whichever wrestler the story in the middle is on, this month it is 'Y2J' Chris Jericho (don't you love his new top, 'Jericohol XXXX'?). These interviews that are in the middle are great because you get to find out all the things you ever wanted to know about the featured wrestler. Not only that, you also have side columns of word association, this month Chris Jericho association of Stone Cold is ass-clown (I can say ass on this right?). This month also has a humorous advert for Chef Boyardee containing Mick Foley with pasta in his beard, great stuff! The point of that is that the magazine contains a lot of American adverts, which are all usually very funny, such as another this month containing the Dudley Boyz. It is a cartoon of D'von, Bubba and Spike with two pictures on the wall of their mother and mom, with their dad saying, "D'von!!! Set the Table!". It also has a monthly column which I really enjoy that is wrote by Steven Richards called Gettin' Heat with Steven Richards. All in all, this is a great magazine for wrestling fans, I wouldn't recommend it to non-fans, but a great magazine nevertheless. Have a nice day!
I started to buy this magazine to catch up no all the gossip and all the other going on's (as I don't have sky or anything like that) and if I'm luck there will be a special on one of my favourite wrestlers such as Chris Jericho aka Y2J aka the atola of rock and Rolla or the ninth wonder of the world Chyan.The magazine keeps me up to date with thinks like undertaker kane, HhH stone cold Steve Astin battles they also keep you up on title changes and new signings and people out injured. It is a good place to find the match line up for pay per views and the latest merchandise for the top pro wrestlers in the game. Sometimes it could go abet into details but most of the time they do well.uch as the article on Kane, prince Albert, and Rakish and the great late André the Giant and the trouble they have with clothes and cars and beds because of there size two of the men are over 7 feet tall, prince Albert chest is 64 inch wide and Kane takes a size 13/14 in shoes after reading this I felt closer to them and now look at them more as people than just my favourite wrestlers
I have to admit if your a wrestling fan your love this wwf magazine. It's called powerslam and it is a fantastic magazine. It keeps you up to date with all the latest results and news. It is a superb magazine. No clever drawings no fancy writng just a fantastic magazine. It comes out every month and has a superb variety of information. It costs £2.30 so it's not a lot of money and i give you adice to buy it. I've been geting it now for the past few months now and really enjoy it. Tahnks for reading.
The offical WWF magazine is a very good magazine, but of course it has its flaws. For a start, it is written in kayfabe so for the educated fan, it can be very frustrating. The pay per view coverage are also most commendable, with superb photos of the matches in full flow. But the trouble is, they review the events three months later because of printing restrictions from across the atlantic. This can also be both frustrating and annoying to owners of SKY and ONdigital, as the magazine may conduct an interview with a wrestler, and the wrestler may say how much likes his fans, and then when you actually read it that particular superstar has turned against his fans and is heel. I would have to say that the cons outnumber the pros. But, it is the cheapest wrestling magazine around and the picture quality is perhaps second to none. Buy it if you don't have Sky, but if you do, steer clear.
Into WWF (World Wrestling Federation) but you do not have access to sky then the monthly edition of WWF Magazine is what you need. Priced at £2.75 and printed in America this magazine is a must for all serious WWF fans. The magazine carries all the latest gossip direct from the US and has in depth interviews with all the favourite wrestlers of the moment. The quality of the pictures printed in this magazine are absolutely superb with excellent action shots from recent matches and the atmosphere of these matches can easily be seen due to the superb quality of the pictures. This magazine also carries all the forth-coming tour dates so if you are able to get sky you can plan your viewing. As this magazine is published for the American market, as you would expect there is quite a lot of advertising selling all sorts and each has their own web site so you can purchase items if you want to. So once again if you are serious about WWF then this is the magazine to get.

Resurrecting this post
Just some info.. here im Portugal, we have a new provider (a big one) "meo" how is now one of my greatest friends they only use those thomson routers, and their tecnicians (who do the installation in most of the cases) do not change the default wpa key.
i got one here, there its not working.
its a tiscali gigaset one...
ssid: TiscaliF4CB1D
mac: 00:01:E3:F4:CB:1D
Passkey: D87B0CD8B211
can you create a list of working default passkey generators?
i just know the sky and the speedtouch ones.
hope this one helps
My guess is that the gigaset routers are mapped differently, or use the serial number as part of the alogrith, would need more gigaset routers to work with to try and figure it out......
I only know of
BT Home HUB
My thoughts on the SKY V2/3 is to look at the make up of the serial key, maybe there are only a limited number of combinations, this combined with the MAC could lead to a shorter dictionary for use with Aircrack (or if really small could be done in a similar way to the BT HomeHub)
Anyone know the make up of the serial on the routers? (I have one at home I'll look at later)
I think this is the start of the mapping, need more gigaset routers (the one which MAC starts 00:01, instead of 00:21)
WPA key
12 th MAC
always 8 - needs confirming
always 7 - needs confirming
10 th MAC
3rd MAC
9th MAC
12 th MAC
always 8 - needs confirming
10 th MAC
always 2 - needs confirming
11 th MAC
11 th MAC
maybe the S/N is important.
I will post it, when i am home.
Hi, is this code or similar available for offline use, thanks.
I am enquiring about the availability of the Sky Router WPA algorithm, I would have thought this was obvious, as that is the title of this topic.
The Sky V1 router algorithm is know,the V2 algorithm is know to contain the MAC address and Serial No. but isnt publically available. James who reversed engineered these has provided the online webservice. Doesnt that acheive what your after?
What are you looking to do with the algorithm?
Yeah I know its on t'internet and it does provide pw for routers, just wanted to have a neb for my curiosity, isn't that what drives us all

Lionsgate Teams with Comcast for Immersive Multi-Platform Movie Experiences
Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF) and Comcast (CMCSA, CMCSK) today announced the expansion of their partnership to create uniquely immersive multi-platform experiences for digital consumers, beginning with the launch of an app for the motion picture Divergent.
With more than four hours of state-of-the-art bonus features and interactive content, the Lionsgate-designed iOS app, which is free to every Divergent fan via the iTunes App Store, includes an authenticated premium experience available to Xfinity customers with the purchase of the film through the Xfinity On Demand digital store.
Xfinity customers will be the first to enjoy Divergent movie scenes from multiple angles, walk the red carpet from the comfort of their living rooms with 360-degree camera views that make them feel as if they are at the premiere, embark on a virtual reality audio experience during a Dauntless initiation and explore the film's fashion through interactive flipbooks. Divergent is available in the Xfinity On Demand digital store, which has consistently been one of the top digital retailers in the U.S., and via digital retailers nationwide two weeks ahead of the blockbuster's August 5 DVD and Blu-ray debut.
The announcement continues the successful partnership formed last year when Lionsgate became one of the first studios to provide digital content for purchase on Xfinity. As part of this ongoing collaboration, Lionsgate will roll out additional title-specific apps built around upcoming releases featuring premium digital content available to Xfinity customers.
"We have been working with Lionsgate and all of our studio partners to launch a product that allows producers, directors, writers, designers and engineers to explore and create next generation digital experiences that expand and extend the life of digital franchises across platforms for Xfinity customers," said Matt Strauss, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Video Services, Comcast Cable. "We are providing studios with a platform to enhance the digital ownership experience by continually adding new content and experiences for customers that will immerse them in the worlds of these films like never before, first on their favorite mobile devices, and soon on the TV via X1."
"We're constantly exploring ways to use new content-gathering technologies to extend our franchises for digital platforms," said Lionsgate President of Worldwide Television & Digital Distribution Jim Packer. "Franchises like Divergent create visually rich landscapes lending themselves to a whole new way of storytelling. The development of theDivergent app and its premium content specifically for mobile devices is just one of the ways we're monetizing our brands and driving demand for EST."
"The app does a wonderful job of expanding the world of Divergent and creating a rich and immersive experience for our fans," said Lucy Fisher and Doug Wick of Red Wagon Entertainment, who are producing the Divergent series. "We're particularly excited that this is a life cycle app that will follow the trajectory of the entire Divergent franchise, and it showcases Lionsgate and Comcast at their innovative and visionary best."
Xfinity customers who purchase Divergent from the Xfinity On Demand digital store and download the free iOS app can sign-in to the app using their Xfinity credentials to unlock over 250 minutes of premium online content including behind the scenes footage and exclusive red carpet content captured at Divergent's Los Angeles premiere with 360-degree cameras. Enhanced content for Xfinity customers, combined with the app's generally available content, create more than 61/2 hours of interactive value-added material for Divergent fans. Next year, Xfinity subscribers with X1 will be able to access the Divergent app, and subsequent apps, as an Internet app on the TV through their X1 set-top box.

More American women not having children: report
By Daniel Lippman
NEW YORK (Reuters) - More American women are choosing not to have children than three decades ago, according to a new report.
Nearly 20 percent of older women do not have children, compared to 10 percent in the 1970s, the Pew Research Center said.
"In recent decades, social pressure to play traditional roles has lessened in a broad variety of ways and there is more leeway for individual choice. This could play a part in lowering pressure for people to get married and bear children," said D'Vera Cohn, a co-author of the report.
"Women have more options than in the past to build strong careers and to exercise the choice not to have children," she added in an email.
The findings in the report are based on data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey.
Cohn said another reason for the increase is that children are seen by some as less important for a successful marriage. A 2007 Pew survey found that 41 percent of adults said that children are very important for a good marriage, down from 65 percent in 1990.
One in five white women ages 40-44 were childless in 2008, compared with 17 percent of black and Hispanic women and 16 percent of Asian women. Between 1994 and 2008, the childlessness rates for black and Hispanic women rose by almost a third, much higher than the 11 percent increase for white women.
Education also seems to be a factor in a woman's choice to be a mother. The more educated women are, the higher the childless rate is. Continued...

Thermostat Housing
So i got to spend my day replacing my thermostat housing. The o-ring that was in the housing was blown apart and the housing was mising a chunk of the interior that surrounds the o-ring. At least i knew i was right when I replaced it b/c of leaking coolant (a small stream while running). All in all, i got put back about 50 bucks for housing, another o-ring (just to be safe), and coolant.
Anyone else had to replace their housing?
Yeah I have had mine go on my 2001 also..... cost me alot more as I took it to the garage, happenned in winter I believe and Canadian winters are damn cold, way to cold for a DIY job.
There is a thread in the SVT section on this also, very current as of this week actually talking about people with the same problem.
I also added a HOW TO into the archive a couple days ago explaining with pics how to do the o ring replacement.
Very Common! I'm having to do it myself. Where did you get the housing, btw. I checked with Auto Zone & Advance Auto Parts. Both places said they couldn't order it. Also, Here's a pic of mine that I just took.
the housings are dealer specific. carquest would be the best place other than the stealerships. i believe the SVT's cost around $69. ive replaced the thermostat in mine. but i think ill be getting another housing to place my coolant temp sending unit actually in there instead in the hose. and to replace all o-rings.
ps, change your coolant! that looks nasty!
I got mine at a local ford dealership. The part was like $50 something but i got a discount b/c my grandpa worked at ford his whole life.
Thanks, I bought it from Ford. They were the only place that had it on hand. Everyone else could get it, but it would take a couple weeks, lol.
And, yes, scrammer, I did flush the coolant and replaced it. I doubt the coolant had ever been changed b/c from the looks of it the previous owner didn't know where to add coolant much less how to flush it, lol.
^^^do not buy that thermostat from CFM. that is the exact Motorad thermostat you can purchase at the local parts store for less than 10 bux. somewhere on here i have parts numbers listed. but i cant find it right now. just ask for zetec 180 thermostat. they dont have a listing for our Foci. it says that its a dealer part.
Someone @ CFM has lost their mind. $17 for a thermostat, lol. It's not even gold plated. A high quality thermostat shouldn't cost more than $12 @ a local parts store (if even that much. mine cost $7.99).

Citation: Nippert, J.B., Fay, P.A., Carlisle, J.D., Knapp, A.K., Smith, M.D. 2009. Ecophysiological responses of two dominant grasses to altered temperature and precipitation regimes. Acta Oecologica. 35:400-408. Interpretive Summary: Two predicted manifestations of climate change are continuing increases in surface temperatures and altered precipitation patterns. The responses of dominant plant species in ecosystems play an important role in the resulting changes in net primary productivity, species diversity, and carbon cycling, which in turn determine potential carbon sequestration and carrying capacity for livestock grazing. In order to understand how warming and altered precipitation patterns may affect dominant grass species in a tallgrass prairie ecosystem, leaf level water balance and carbon assimilation were measured in two similar C4 grasses that are abundant and widespread throughout North American tallgrass prairies, Andropogon gerardii, big bluestem, and Sorghastrum nutans, Indiangrass. Individuals of both species were measured in plots that were warmed to 2 – 4 °C above ambient using infrared lamps and watered at longer intervals with larger events than ambient, creating a more extreme precipitation pattern. Both species responded to warming and precipitation treatments, with S. nutans experiencing larger effects in carbon uptake than A. gerardii, suggesting its abundance may change more rapidly under future climate scenarios that include warmer temperatures and more extreme precipitation regimes.
Technical Abstract: Ecosystem responses to climate change will largely be driven by responses of the dominant species. However, if co-dominant species have traits that lead them to differential responses, then predicting how ecosystem structure and function will be altered is more challenging. We assessed differences in response to climate change factors for the two dominant C4 grass species in tallgrass prairie, Andropogon gerardii and Sorghastrum nutans, by measuring changes in a suite of plant ecophysiological traits in response to experimentally elevated air temperatures and increased precipitation variability over two growing seasons. Maximum photosynthetic rates, stomatal conductance, water-use efficiency, chlorophyll fluorescence, and leaf water potential varied with leaf and canopy air temperature as well as with volumetric soil water content (0-15 cm). Both species had similar responses to imposed changes in temperature and water availability, but when differences occurred, responses by A. gerardii were more closely linked with changes in air temperature whereas S. nutans was more sensitive to changes in water availability. Moreover, S. nutans was more responsive overall than A. gerardii to climate alterations. These results indicate both grass species are responsive to forecast changes in temperature and precipitation, but their differential sensitivity to temperature and water availability means that future tallgrass prairie ecosystem structure and function will be determined by their interaction with the type of climate change that occurs.

The latest weather predictions look great for dairy farmers across the nation.
The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research has released its report on the next quarter and says predicted high temperatures and dry rivers will be avoided.
Dairy Exporter editor Glenys Christian says this comes after a booming, record production season for the dairy industry in 2012.
She says before Christmas, milk flows were already two percent up on the previous year.
"This news means that it's entirely possible that two percent margin may remain and that would be very good news indeed for Fonterra."
Ms Christian says this won't have a direct effect on milk prices but it will mean that New Zealand has more milk to sell in overseas markets.

Elance Q&A: What Do You Do To Recharge?Elance_Alex | Mar 26, 2009
You're deploying a custom Drupal platform to a major website and the deadline is approaching. You're crafting innovative and effective marketing campaigns for an up-and-coming Web 2.0 startup. You're burning through almost 100 Excel spreadsheets of seven-figure digits for a high-profile accountant. You're a well-oiled machine running at the speed of light.
You're living the fast-paced life of online work.
At some point, everyone needs to recharge — even those with the biggest batteries. What do you do to slow down, unwind, and get away from it all? I've asked the experts (you) to fill us in on what rituals work best to come back feeling fresh.
Frederick Pohl, Web Developer, Pohl Media — "We like to go to the beach and the Springs, go to the park with our daughter, and enjoy cooking on the grill a lot — being in the sun. Music is an essential part of unwinding and helps to regain focus too. I always go back to traditional art, pencil drawing, and printmaking, which were my early beginnings in art."
Julie K. Welch, Writer, Jane Content — "I typically work 70-80 hours per week, so in order to unwind, I take several mini-trips throughout each quarter — 2-3 week long trips. Then I participate in a variety of local charitable and social activities. In the evenings, I also attend yoga classes and run. Overall, I work to balance everything I need to get done within a week while minimizing stress."
Jaimie M., Admin Support — Generally after working most of the day or week I like to unwind by spending quiet time with my kids or by taking them out on the weekends to the park or beach. I also enjoy going out to dinner as a family. Although I sometimes work on the weekends if a project deadline makes that necessary, I try to always take time to unwind and enjoy my family which consists of myself, my husband, three young children, a four month old beagle puppy and an 8 week old dachshund puppy.
Michelle, Internet Consultant, Metric Voodoo — "As an 'Internet Consultant', I can be working on several very different types of projects at the same time, so I have a habit of decompressing a little in between tasks throughout the day ... When I really hit the brain-fry zone, I like to go on drives in my Jeep and listen to the radio – not MP3s or satellite radio, but in-the-clear local radio so I can hear commercials and local events and such. This helps me keep up with off-line advertising and gets my brain out of whatever rut it was in - it helps me think 'sideways' with my own ad planning.
Adam Purcell, New Media Consultant, Hungry Dog Media — "The greatest way for me to relax is to watch a movie. It's the only time I can get my head outside of work and lost into another world. From a new movie to one I have seen scores of times — it makes no difference!"
Stacy Strayer, Writer, Peppy Girl Productions — "Living in the Colorado Rockies definitely gives someone options for blowing off steam or finding peace. After a long day of staring at the computer screen, I love to snow shoe with my two labs near the Sol Vista Ski Resort. If I plan it just right, I'll hit the slopes just as the ski resort closes so I can power up a blue or black run for an extra cardio boost. The towering, naked beauty of the horizon, the Continental Divide, helps me keep my busy life in perspective. I return home totally refreshed, ready to surf Elance once again for enticing writing assignments."
Les Brown, Web Developer, Blue Sky iSolutions — "I work from home and my house is just off a scenic highway less than 10 miles from the nearest ski/snowboard area. So to unwind, I usually ride my motorcycle (in the warmer months) or go snowboarding (in the colder months). When it rains, there's always movies or TV."
As for me personally, the tropical destination pictured above looks like a mighty nice place to have an ice-cold piña colada. So, what about you? Share your tips, techniques, and favorite getaways in the comments below.

Burnout, like keeping a clean desktop, is something you can prevent continually or in chunks. I'm usually a chunker, but I've been working in another solution and getting good results.
A lot of my work is done at home, either alone or in my home-based audio/video studio. Several months ago I produced a CD of soundscapes based on the seven energy centers of the body. My initial thoughts were that it would be useful for folks who meditate, do Reiki or some other body-mind work. As it turns out, based on comments from users, it's also very helpful to have it playing as a simple background ambience.

My whole work is about teaching people to be energized and stress free so I am a bit of an expert on this topic. I spend about 10-15 minutes a day doing simple processes which I teach in my online course, to increase my natural energy. I also go running or cycling for at least 20 minutes a day. This allows me to work for 60-70 hours a week at optimal energy.
I don't really feel the need to recharge but I do take quiet time for myself on the weekends, relaxing at the park or reading a great book.
I take holidays for adventure rather than relaxation

I work out of my apartment, and I am fortunate to live in a beautiful area, so recharging can be as simple as just taking a break away from the computer, stretching, making a hot cup of tea, and looking out the window at the gorgeous scenery. If I'm really struggling, and the weather permits, I take a walk. Whatever I do, getting away from the job I've been working on for a little bit allows me to look at it with fresh eyes, see mistakes, fix them, and attack the rest of it with renewed energy.

I live in front of a wooded area and blocks from the Chesapeake Bay. So when the hunters are not out stalking geese and deer in the woods (yup, we hear the shots), my dog Wolfie and I run around the woods. I shout RUN! and off we go!
Recently, I've discovered crocheting. When I start feeling burnout on the horizon, I pick up my hook and make a tiny hat for a preemie. I've made baseball hats, flower hats, ski hats -- all in rainbow colors. I listen to music, sip tea and think of "my" tiny babies.
Walking on the waterfront checking out the many boats that come here also blows some wind into my head.
When I complete a project, I bake . It's my personal reward. Scones, quiches and brownies are my favorites. As a former rather tough newspaper reporter covering government, I've always relaxed by turning into Ms.Domestic after 8 pm. It's a big Whew!

I work from my apartment but am lucky enough to live in complex which allows me to have a real garden. If I can't face another minute of writing at my computer, I simply step outside and tend to my growing things. When everything goes dormant in the winter, I take breaks throughout the day to read, read, and read some more. Severe writer's block calls for stronger measures, so I schedule an afternoon out at the movies or a local museum, or simply taking a long walk with a friend.
The great thing about being my own boss is that I can recharge as soon as it's necessary! While I am working more hours per week ( an average of 65) than I ever did in the work force, being able to take short breaks whenever I like keeps the stress more or less manageable.

Tackling the complex topic of parallel programming for a high-performance machine such as the Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor might seem like a terrifying ordeal. But authors Jim Jeffers and James Reinders provide a logical, manageable, and real-world approach to the task.
Parallel programming isn't for the faint of heart. Sure, many of us have studied serial algorithms and have mastered them. We may also have studied a little bit of parallel programming. But putting concepts into practice requires a lot more expertise than just understanding algorithms. It requires a strong grasp of the underlying hardware architecture, for starters, including processing at the assembler level.
One architecture that's especially complex is the Xeon Phi Coprocessor. Featuring dozens of cores (typically 61, but different models are available), it works alongside a main Xeon processor. How do you learn to program such a beast?
I started by reading the book Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor High-Performance Programming, by Intel's Jim Jeffers and James Reinders. (ISBN: 978-0124104143. Retail: $51). Published this spring by Morgan Kaufmann, the book spans more than a dozen chapters.
I especially enjoyed how accessible the book is. While Jeffers and Reinders are known experts in the field of parallel programming, you don't need a doctorate in engineering to understand what they're saying. Right at the beginning, the authors explain the architecture behind the Coprocessor and how it fits together with the main Xeon processor. They take you through examples of logging into Linux that runs on the coprocessor, and inspecting the individual cores.
Despite being easy to read, the information packed into this book is by no means basic. Using the metaphor of a race car, in Chapter 2 the authors start out with a simple program that doesn't use multiple threads but does at least have vectorization. They then explain how to move the code up to two threads, and then higher, up to all the cores. Examples are given in different programming languages, including C and Fortran.
As the chapters progress, the offered code and examples change from simple and contrived to more real-world like scenarios. I found this approach especially helpful, like when first-semester Physics students are told to "neglect friction" – even though real-world requires consideration of friction. In similar fashion, Jeffers and Reinders provide real-world scenarios you can use as a basis for production code.
The book includes two especially important chapters; one on vectorization, and one on coding for parallel threads. Regular readers of this blog will recognize these two main approaches to parallel programming, and this book explains them both well. For example, the vectorization chapter provides a full rundown of the SIMD directives, as well as how to align your data. The authors even take you down to the assembly level of the compiled examples, enabling you to see exactly what's going on at the processor level.
As both authors are employees of Intel, they naturally prefer Parallel Studio as a development tool. But they also provide plenty of instructions for standards such as OpenMP that work with more compilers, and the book is by no means an advertisement for Parallel Studio. (Personally, I think if you're programming for the Xeon Phi Coprocessor, you'll at least want to use the Intel compiler; the full Parallel Studio would certainly help.)
Later in the book, the authors present much more information about the coprocessor's architecture, including management and administration. Chapter 9, for example, examines the system software running the coprocessor, including different software platform stacks. Chapter 10 offers an in-depth discussion on the Linux system that runs on the coprocessor, and discusses several management utility (such as rebooting the coprocessor; shutting it down; mounting file systems; and so on).
One interesting aspect of the Xeon Phi coprocessor is that it provides additional support for high-performance mathematical operations. As such, the authors have devoted Chapter 11 to the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL). This chapter explains three different programming models available for programming with the MKL. There's a short overview of the MKL, and then extensive information on compiling and building to enable the code to run properly on the coprocessor. For example, some MKL functions can run distributed across multiple cores; the book provides information on how to make this happen.
Chapter 12 is devoted to the next step up: Multi-node, distributed systems, with each node running a Xeon and one or more Xeon Phi coprocessors. The chapter primarily focuses on how to coordinate the nodes using cluster tools such as the Message Passing Interface (MPI library). This is a very advanced chapter that not everyone may need, but it's worth a read.
The next chapter, 13, focuses on profiling and timing. Even if you skip Chapter 12, you'll definitely want to read this one. While it might seem surprising that this information is at the end of the book, it probably makes sense: After you've mastered all the concepts, it is time to go to the next level and profile your application so that you can fine tune it.
Even if you don't work your way completely through the book, I strongly recommend reading this chapter. It offers a nice overview of profiling, and provides a lot of definitions and concepts that can be used both in Xeon Phi programming, and in programming overall.
Finally, there's a short summary (numbered as Chapter 14) that provides some thoughtful parting advice. Remember, the two authors are programming gurus with many years of experience. The times I have met these two gentlemen, I have listened closely and quietly to anything they can tell me. That's what this chapter is for.
I didn't expect this book to so accessible. The writing is top-notch, the examples have real application. And text contains plenty of code, it doesn't overwhelm the narrative. There's far more text than code, and plenty of valuable information. So if you're going to learn parallel programming, especially for the Xeon Phi, this is the book to turn to. I'm ready to read it a second time.

A Custom Built Motorcycle from Aftermarket Parts is a motorcycle assembled by a person other than a generally recognized manufacturer of motorcycles by the use of after market major component parts from an authorized manufacturer and accompanied by manufacturer's statements of origin (MSO).
Once the motorcycle has been completely assembled a Vehicle Inspection and an Assigned ID Number is required prior to issuance of a title. The motorcycle and the required supporting documentation must be presented to the local County Sheriff for an inspection which includes an examination of the motorcycle, notation of the current odometer reading and a comparison of the VINs. To pass inspection, the VINs on the MSOs must be found on the motorcycle.
The fee for the Sheriff's Inspection is $10.00. The Sheriff's Inspection expires 90 days after the date of inspection.
An Assigned ID Number Application *, along with a $20.00 fee, photocopies of all supporting documentation and the original of the Sheriff's Inspection must be submitted to the Driver and Vehicle Records Division of the Department of Motor Vehicles. Once the Assigned ID Number plate is manufactured it is mailed to the applicant. After the new Assigned ID Number has been properly affixed to the motorcycle, a title can be issued.
To obtain a Certificate of Title for a Custom Built Motorcycle from Aftermarket Parts the supporting documentation must be surrendered to the designated County Official along with an Application for Certificate of Title *. The fee for issuance of a Certificate of Title is $10.00. Please contact your designated County Official for information regarding acceptable methods of payment.

"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."
"The cards i ordered are absolutely perfect, i could never have asked for anything more. these cards blew my mind because i was not expecting such high quality, i will forever be a customer, Thank you so much for such prompt service and quick delivery. did i mention delivery was 1 week earlier than expected, and from the date i ordered to delivery it was 5 days total"
"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards. They were handy to give to pet sitters, neighbors, family, church folks...anyone we meet who we want to easily provide with our contact info. Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."
"I am very picky about business card styles, but I fell in love with this card when I saw it online, and even more when it arrived. The colors and simplicity; it really is beautiful. I got the glossy paper, and the colors almost shimmer. I always receive compliments on my card. I will be reordering."
"I really love the design of this card! It has such pretty colors with just the right amount of text. The colors are catchy yet calming. I am very happy with these cards!"

Northstar Engines and System Technical Discussion Discussion, Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits- in Cadillac Engine Discussion; The standard size bottom end stud kit has now been designed. Benefits: -more accurate torque -studs are fully engaged in ...
Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
The standard size bottom end stud kit has now been designed.
-more accurate torque
-studs are fully engaged in the aluminum block threads prior to the torque process
-less chance of threads stripping out (by far)
-less chance of oil pressure loss (oil flows past the shaft of 12 of the main bolts/studs, if one is not properly torqued, your engine will wear out)
-proper claming force on the bottom end will promote better bearing break-in (as opposed to loose bolts or uneven clamping pressure)
-guaranteed not to snap (as the original factory bolts often do)
-oversized repair studs (patent pending) will be available as well in full sets or custom quantity mix (repair only the holes that actually are stripped, yet still have the whole bottom end studded)
These are metric roll-threaded studs that will handle way more clamp load than the factory original bolts. Remember- the way the bottom end is designed, bearing clearance is determined by the factory machining of the block. As long as the mating surfaces are clean between the block halves, and you torque the perimeter bolts in sequence PRIOR to main stud torque, a bit extra clamp force than factory will not distort the castings or change bearing clearance. Details will be released on torque specs, but so far I believe we will be going with:
-studs screwed hand tight in the block
-nuts torqued to 45 ft. lbs. (as this thread ages, please check our website for proper/current torque specs)
An added feature to promote proper oil distribution (instead of any possible bypass by the flange nut) is an O-Ring seal on the nut. This combined with thread locker/sealant tape on the stud will eliminate any possible oil-bypass. In other words, we need to do everything possible to keep pressurized oil up where it belongs: around the bearings and moving parts- not dripping past the bolts back into the oil pan.
I expect to ship without any exception by August 30th/2011 and guarantee by September 8, 2011. For one forum member it will be much quicker because he was the first one to speak up and ask for the kit.
The oversized studs and/or kit will be available soon for permanent, problem free thread repairs.
Here's a photo of the stud.
Pricing for pre-orders is set at $155 per set + shipping costs (probably about $20 to most states), + taxes for Canadian customers
Pricing is subject to change after the kit is fully available. Priority goes as follows: First come, first served. Email email@example.com with subject "MAIN STUDS" in the subject line. Thank you all!
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Jake, from an old engine builder: $155 is far, far too low for 20 specially made studs, nuts, washers, O-rings. You won't even cover your labor, much less materials.
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Thank you Jim- I likely will not be able to keep my price of $155 but I am still working to cover the cost of getting that CNC machine in the shop to produce everything in-house. I'm currently willing to sell at cost if need be (pre-orders a month ahead is money up front that I can use as capital to finish paying for the Miyano.) Where are decent banks, where are leasing companies- when you need them. Money is refundable if I for some reason cannot deliver as promised. But if the customers can wait a few weeks and are willing to trust me, it is a savings for them, and it helps me get what I've needed since the beginning.

Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Looks great, Jake!
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
ok um im confused here so these studs are for the bottom end do you mean for the oil pan ? or are these for the half shaft ? since im not all that experience and im not a mehcanic don't know what im looking at exactly but curious what are the studs for ? are those what hold the Oil pan on on the bottom end ?
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Main bearing studs. Halfcase stud girdle. Oil pan/oil distribution plate is a totally different critter, BUT is still a structural member of the cylinder block.
Go up to the "Community" tab, open "Albums" and get into my two - the red Seville. There are pictures and diagrams of the halfcase and bearing setup.
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
i wennt to look for the ALbums in the Community tab area and it looks like it has disapered not sure if it has something to do with the new software update perhaps but i see cadillac owners garage nothing in there but i dont see albums anymore
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Either in here or go all the way out to the home page. Scroll up to the top - where the Cadillac Technical Archive is in the upper dark bar and the Community tab is in the lower, smaller bar. Albums are in there, right now..................Cadillac Garage is a long way from the top of the Forums pages.
The bar tabs go: New Posts; FAQ; Calendar; Community, ........., ..........
Love the NP engraving! F'n suhweeet!
Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
not sure why i feel stupid or blind because i couldnt find the album tab
so i just wnet into your profile and open it up from there

Re: Taking Pre-Orders for bottom end stud kits-
Thanks Hogg I have no doubts whatsoever it will take some practice getting experienced with that CNC - so I'm going to schedule myself two days off or something to learn and maybe get a guy over here to show me how to run the unit. Once that thing is running it should be automatic for the most part (yes will need tool changes, "zeroing" etc. every so often) - the one I found comes with an automatic bar feeder) but if need be I will hire someone to run it. I have to know either way how to run the machine.

These men are members of the Muslim religion and they oppose any form of modern medicine which is allegedly a weapon by those who hate their religion. Ironically, for hundreds of years, the Muslim world was the center of "modern medicine" and spread its knowledge throughout Europe. Fast forward a few hundred years and those claiming to be linked to the "Muslim world" now engage in horrible acts of death to those who seek to save lives. A few days ago, nine nurses who were vaccinating children to prevent polio were brutally murdered by members of Boko Haram–"Western Education is Sacrilege." The murderers boasted they had saved Muslims from the possibility of being infected by Western devils.
Yesterday, they murdered three Korean doctors who spent their days saving the lives of poor Muslims. The throats of two were slit and the third was beheaded. The question remains: Exactly which religion claims these thugs as members?

is one of our favorite games. we always use it to decide whatever it is we are deciding: who picks dinner, who drives home, who serves first in volleyball. and heck, sometimes just because! if any of you are closet rock, paper, scissor freaks i hope you enjoy it as much as i did... gotta love random, funny emails! oh and pardon the language. i didn't write it, i promise! you can probably tell by the capital letters. :o)
I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there's no fucking way Paper can beat Rock. Paper is supposed to magically "wrap round" Rock, rendering it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to Scissors? screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why arent sheets of notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why - BECAUSE PAPER CANT BEAT ANYBODY! Rock would tear that shit up in 2 seconds. When I play rock/paper/scissors I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say "Oh, I'm sorry - I thought paper would protect you, asshole"

A mix of sweet potatoes, red potatoes and green beans roast together with an herb kissed chicken for a wonderful one pan meal in this Thyme-Roasted Chicken and Potatoes. Post may contain affiliate links.
My CSA (Fall Creek Farms) gave me some gorgeous new potatoes last week and at the same time, Earth Fare had whole chickens on sale. Fate? The cosmic universe telling me what to make? Serendipity?
As is the case with a lot of veggies that you might get from your CSA, there is not a lot of it. You might get a handful of this, a handful of that. On the other hand, sometimes you get bags and bags of something. That's what makes belonging to a CSA such fun! In this case I had some new potatoes, some sweet potatoes, and some lovely thin crisp green beans.
I've roasted countless chickens and countless potatoes, but I always do a quick search to refresh myself on times and to get any ideas that I haven't tried yet. But roasting is one of those things that I want to keep simple. I don't want to get too complicated, the beauty of roasting is that it is so simple.
I found Thyme-Roasted Chicken with Potatoes in Everyday Food: Fresh Flavor Fast: 250 Easy, Delicious Recipes for Any Time of Day (Everyday Food (Clarkson Potter)), and you can also find it online, Thyme-Roasted Chicken with Potatoes.
It was exactly what I was looking for. I followed it pretty much as written, with the following changes: I added sweet potatoes (just cut them a little smaller than the new potatoes) and added the green beans during the last 10-15 minutes of roasting. Also, the recipe calls for using two chickens, giving you another chicken to use for other recipes later. While, I loved this idea, I didn't really need the extra chicken meat.
- 3 pounds small red potatoes, halved
- (or 1/2 sweet potatoes, diced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves
- 2 whole chickens (3 1/2 to 4 pounds each), rinsed and patted dry
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- In a small bowl, combine thyme leaves with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons salt; set aside.
- Working from neck end of chickens, use your fingers to gently separate skin from flesh, including thigh and leg areas. Distribute thyme mixture under skin of each chicken, dividing evenly; season cavities generously with salt and pepper. Tuck wings under breasts. Using kitchen twine, tie legs together securely on top of chickens. Besides helping them cook evenly and stay moist, this will also help preserve their shape. (I didn't tie the legs together).
- Nestle chickens, breast sides up, among potatoes; rub chickens with remaining tablespoon oil, and season each with salt and pepper.
- Roast, tossing potatoes occasionally and brushing chicken with pan juices (I didn't brush with juices or toss the potatoes - I pretty much just let it roast unattended), until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees. about 1 hour.
- Let chickens rest in a warm spot 10 minutes before serving.
- Save second chicken for use in other recipes!

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting DD to nap in her own bed? She is 3 months old and will only nap in my arms or in her swing. She sleeps in her crib in our bedroom at night for 10-12 hours straight. She goes down at night with no argument at all! But when the sun is up, she wants nothing to do with it. I've tried to let her cry it out, which lasted all of 5 minutes. It was cruel and I will never do that again! Suggestions??
If she'll nap in the swing, and sleeps 10-12 hours straight at night, why change it? Sounds perfect to me, honestly!
I agree. DD1 slept in a swing for naps until she was 2/ 2.5
Have you tried laying in bed to side nurse to sleep? Or maybe if you nurse to sleep, wrap a light blanket around her so when you lay her down, she still feels the warmth of the blanket (and your smell). DD1 would also go down if you rocked her and hummed. I'm guessing you already wait a good 10-15 minutes to make sure she's deep alseep. Some babies like movement, noise or need it to be dark. DD1 (as a babe) and DD2 always go down with less fuss for morning naps than afternoon naps. DD2 is 16 weeks today.
Good luck Mama! Sleep is so tricky sometimes.
Yes, I'd say keep her napping in the swing! I know it can be stressful because you're probably thinking about what will happen when your DD outgrows her swing... my DS napped only in his swing both at home & at daycare. At around 5 months I just tried putting him in his crib for a nap and it worked all of a sudden. (Of course now we're at 9 months and he hates his crib altogether so my new conundrum is HTH to handle things when he starts crawling (very soon) because he starts the night alone in my bed... but this time I know it will work itself out so I'm less stressed!)
Mumma to DS July 2010 and expecting another baby boy late July 2012
I agree with pp. If it's working now, there's no need to change :)
I agree with the PP, at least she naps in her swing... my first DS napped in his carseat! DD (11 weeks) also doesn't do the bed thing during the day, I either wear her for naps, or she sleeps in the corner of the couch if I am gonna be in the living room with DS. I haven't even tried to change it - she only gets up once or twice a night to nurse, so I figure that's about as low-key as a baby can get! Babies are so smart... it's like they're certain they'll miss something if they go to the crib during the day!
Sleepy, running, wife to DH 08/09 - Mama to DS 8/08 & DD 1/11
"Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. " - Japanese Proverb
I really don't see the swing as a problem for naps, just don't leave her in there for long once she wakes up! Baby D is 4.5 months and naps 50% in his crib (side-carred to our bed) and 50% in the swing... Well, and while I'm baby wearing of course, at least once a day.
If you are looking to try to introduce the crib, maybe you could put her to sleep the way you usually do, lay her down in the crib and if she wakes, pick her up, put her back to sleep and then you could try again, but I would just let her nap where she wants in the swing. But maybe one day it will work and she'll take to the crib naturally in her own time?
I would have been pretty excited if my daughter was willing to nap in the swing at 3 months old!
But in seriousness, she did start napping in the swing soon after, like 4 months old, and she kept that up until the swing's motor broke around 8 months old. After that, she's slept fine on a flat surface. I don't see any reason why yours shouldn't sleep in the swing.
bedsharing, knitting, toddler-nursing, nerdy, babywearing mama!
I also agree with the previous posters. Why not just let her nap in her swing? My 4 month old naps all morning in her swing and has been doing so since about 2 months old. It's pretty much the only place she will nap during the day. I don't think your situation is at all uncommon. Is there a reason that you want her in her crib during the day?
