sardines r healthy right?
just needed to know since ive been eating a lot of them lately and i wanted to use them as a source of protein from now on
I am not 100% sure but isn't there a mercury issue with eating high amounts of sardines? Maybe a salt issue too.
I cannot stand the little buggers so I am not up on my sardine knowledge.
I would imagine they're healthier when fresh than when bought soaked in something.
Me personally i wouldn't waste my time using sardines as a main protein source as there are more effective protein sources such as Tuna,Salmon, Chicken... But yea sardines are ok for protein just avoid using the sardines in sunflower oil and buy either the brine or sping water tinned sardines... I eat sardines as a main source of essential oils which improves skin and also sardines have a decent amount of omega 3 oils that is apparently "brain food" reducing risk of alzeimers disease.

My Blog
I started a blog to create a central base for my reviews/posts, pictures, videos, etc. I'll still be posting here and on 6post, but I wanted to get it all linked to one place.
I know I need to get a life... :rofl:
Southern. You're in college, go out and live it up!!! We need to live vicariously through you :)
Hey man. I think it's great that you find your enjoyment out of research and eduction. Most of my friends from College chose other routes to take and ended up going back to doing the same sh*t they did in HS. I am not going to mention what it is they do but I think you get my drift. Nothing good.
BTW, I think the show "Big Bang Theory" is giving auditions :D
We're just breaking your balls of course!
Your contribution to this board is outstanding and i'm sure your contributions to society and the community will be far beyond that even.
Bravo Zulu, Southern!!! We need more from your generation to be more like you.
As gehmjc said, don't forget to live it up too. You deserve it. All work and no play make Southern a dull boy (Dont take that literal, BTW. It's a quote from "The Shining" :). We do love our movie quotes here).
Just trying to fill in the blanks with these cars for others who are in the buying process. It seems like a lot of the videos are very redundant and provide video form of the BMW media packet rather than really showing all of the features of these cars. These machines are too amazing to not be fully understood and appreciated.
Yup, just replace "Southern" with "Jack" lol
Just added a new post about why I started the blog. A link is below my signature picture.
BTW thanks for the heads up on the full LED option. I was so set on the 19s I never would've thought it was possible with the M Package.
I couldn't said it better myself Itin. I think it's great that you not only find passion in cars, but realize how important your education is at a young age. If we decide to get a group meet sometime, we'll be sure to make up for any nights you've missed on the weekends :)
But in all seriousness you by far add the most informative knowledge and I definitely thank you for that!
Now all I need is for it to be July and on my ED/honeymoon sending you guys pictures of beer gardens and the video of my first autobahn experience, and I'll be a happy man!! :)
Nicely done, Southern.
Y'all are too kind. Glad to know someone's lookin' at this stuff. I'm very intrigued by the audience statistics for the blog. I'm apparently very popular among Mac users and Saudi Arabians. :)
Thanks again, guys!
New videos (driving with audio and HUD while driving) coming tonight/tomorrow - explanation of these videos in the meantime - http://southern6er22.blogspot.com/
Until I get my nearly identically equipped 6er as your's I must live vicariously through this blog!

Think we can get 576,000 miles on our 6's? Probably not.
Sure hope not. If it does get that many miles, I hope someone else is dealing with it at that point.
Just posted the exhaust while driving video. Check it out, and let me know what you think:
J/K. Sounds great! (that was a "Next Friday" quote)
Oh God, I should have stuck with blacked out footage and just givin' y'all the sound :)
I think that is the best video yet to capture the sound of the M-Sport package exhaust.
I also think you are going to need new tires after all. LOL
I also think that car stands out like a sore thumb there. I did see one Z3, though.
Dude. You are good that this stuff.

I just added some post-cleaning/conditioning pictures of the door panels that highlight the contrast stitching and the matte finish as an addendum to my post from last night.
In addition to the two new videos I added today I also added an extra tab or two to get things a little better organized.

I'm looking to chat to previous students (preferably international) about FZDschool in Singapore. I just want to know how they found the course, and how easy did they find moving/living there etc.
I've tried emailing the school asking if they could put me in touch with some students just to ask a few questions, but they couldn't give out those details.
So if there's anybody here who was a student of that school or could put me in touch with someone whose graduated from that school let me know..

Vigil held for teen killed in car wreck
by: Craig Lucie Updated:
DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Friends gathered Monday night to remember a teenager killed in a crash.
Her father has been charged with DUI for causing the wreck.
About 100 people turned out for a candlelight vigil to remember Corliss Johnson, 15, who died in the crash that happened along Highway 78 in DeKalb County on Sunday night.
Friends gathered in front of the apartment that Johnson shared with her family.
She was a freshman at Stevenson High School and her classmates told Channel 2's Craig Lucie she was always joking around.
"This is such a tragedy for all of us," one friend said as everyone shared stories at Monday's vigil, while others said a prayer.
Johnson's best friends told Lucie she was always smiling and she looked up to Shatara Grimes.
"We laughed and shared a lot of good moments together," Grimes said.
Grimes and her brother, Jacorey, said Johnson's personality rubbed off on them.
"Very outgoing, loud, carefree in the moment, no drama, never bothered anybody. When she came in the room (she) brightened it," Shatara Grimes said.
"She always had a smile on her face. She would never get into any problems. She was just a real nice person," Jacorey grimes said about Johnson.
Police say Johnson was in the car that her father, Anthony Johnson, lost control of when it crashed into the woods on Highway 78 Sunday night.
Detectives said Johnson walked a mile to the Metro Café diner where Channel 2 Action News obtained surveillance video.
Police said Johnson walked in with his two injured sons while Corliss and her 11-year-old sister were left at the crash scene.
"Last night I passed the accident, but I didn't know it was them," family friend Trilina Hernandez said.
Hernandez said she didn't find out Corliss was gone, or that her sister was in critical condition and police had charged their father with DUI and vehicular homicide until Monday afternoon.
"My son saw a car over in a ditch and he said 'Mom, I don't know. Whoever was in that car something really bad happened,'" Hernandez said.
A close family friend said she spoke with Corliss Johnson's mother on the phone and said her 11-year-old sister is going to recover. They told Lucie she has a broken leg, her arms are broken but she is going to make it.
Anthony Johnson is expected to appear before a DeKalb County judge Tuesday morning.

'I am," Gordon Brown was reported as saying to general bafflement in Davos last week, "reminded of the story of Titian." The celebrated Renaissance painter may have created nearly 100 great artworks in his lifetime but supposedly declared at the end of it all, "I'm finally beginning to learn how to paint." And that, opined the PM, after 12 years in charge of the British economy and faced with what he called the first financial crisis of the global age, "is where we are".
Oh no you're not, says Peter Morgan, who wrote the film Frost/Nixon and also created Brown's character in TV's The Deal. You're more like Richard Nixon. "People will hate me for saying this, but there are emotional similarities between Gordon Brown and Richard Nixon," Morgan reckons. "They are people who are hard to like, people who have complicated emotional inner landscapes, and somehow have had trouble accessing them.
Gordon Brown finds it hard to be liked and yet he's a brilliant man. But people don't warm to him."
You may think the disgraced 37th president of the US, the leading light of the 16th-century Venetian school and an early 21st-century British prime minister have little in common. Think again.

When the problems come they come. I will be buying a manual as well since I seem to be hitting that mileage where things are breaking.
Anyways, I notice the window is going slowly and I thought I saw it was moving around as well.
As you can see, it is out of the groove at the very back of the door. Is the track loose or something in the door?

They Teach Us, Too
August 6, 2012 by 4 Comments
I'm having so much fun learning how to french braid over here in our corner of the world, and thanks to my patient 4 year-old, I'm getting lots of practice! I'll admit that my technique is still far from perfect, and I'm certainly not a natural, but it has been fun to learn something new and to see improvement with practice. When someone complimented Maria on her hair the other day, she told them, "Thanks, my mom did it for me. She's getting better."
I never thought that I would know so much about dragons, cats, or lizards, but thanks to my curious 8 year-old, I'm practically an expert.
What new things have you learned thanks to your children? As we enter the last days of summer (sniff, sniff), let's take some time to reflect on all of the wonderful ways that our children have grown and changed us.

1966 nova idle arm issue
I have a 1966 chevy II nova ss that I need to replace the idle arm. I bought a high performance idle arm from classic industries in CA that is the same design as the original idle are (S shaped with bushings on each end. The end of the existing idle arm that is attached to the frame had 2 washers on the bushing side that has a nut that screws onto the idle arm shaft. The nut is held in place by a cotter pin. My issues are:
1. I believe that there should be a washer on both sides of the upper arm, 1 between the nut and the upper bushing and 1 for underneath the upper part of the arm between the upper bushing and the metal of the arm..not 2 between the upper part of the arm and nut that a cotter pin goes thru...i need to confirm the placement of washers on the original style idle arm.
2. When putting in the new idle arm it appears that the top nut cannot be tighten real tight or it will wear the lower bushing and the arm will not swivel. I need to confirm this thought.
3. Is it better that i do not put in the old "original style" idle arm and put in an aftermarket like a moog high performance design having bearings...if i put in the new design do i create other issues in replacing the idle arm.
thx russ email@example.com
did you read the instructions?
I try to use moog parts for almost everything.I used a moog in my 65 and 67 chevyII.
Are you using a chevyII centre link or "buick" what kind of oil pan are you using?
Not a big deal "lildrip049", but it's an idler arm not idle arm, no biggy just a minor correction, so when you talk to people about it, it will be pronounced right.
I agree with Vinniekq2 about Moog parts as well as his other questions. Moog - Good dependable parts.
idler not idle arm problem
I would luv to put in a moog idler arm but my research indicates that only the bushings are availible for a 66 chevy II nova ss...can either of you tell me where i can but one--thx russ
I made a few enquiries,lets see who has an answer? You did not say what centre link you are using or if the pan was front or rear sump? (v-8?)
I called my local real parts store and yes the bushings are what is available. I have to tell you, that's all that wears (unless it was REALLY driven after the bushings were gone :pain:) and it's all you need from my experience.
idler arm
The car is 100 percent original from gm thus i have the original center link and the pan/pump are for the original L79 engine (327/350 hp). i know trhat the bushing are available fro moog, but i would have to have a iachine shop install them...i am looking for the entire arm from moog or a comparable baring driven bushing
Hi Vinnie
I can bring in this idler arm. It will cost $174.99 and will take about 3-4 weeks to have it shipped. If you need it faster I can have it expedited but there will be additional charges for this service. unfortunately I was not able to find it locally.
let me know what you would like to do.

Kenmore washer model # 110 20872990
Serial# CK 1527677
Type 111
Yesterday While washing a load of clothes I noticed it was still running over an hour later and noticed the knob hasnt moved from the same spot i put it. It will fill up and agitate and thats it. Ive tried unplugging it and plugging it back in. Ive fiddled with the knob and ive gotten it to drain once but it still wont move the knob by itself like its supposed to. And even when i manually move it to spin or rinse it almost always keeps agitating. Like i said i have gotten it to drain and spin once while fiddling with the knob. I am not very knowledgable in appliance repair but I cant afford to call a repairman and I need it fixed ASAP as I have 3 kids who require clean clothes lol. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linux has been a popular server OS for many years. Expensive end-user
client licenses are causing more and more organizations to displace
Windows servers for things like file, print, email, and Web services.
Now, a combination of tough economic times and a greater awareness of
Linux are resulting in a number of high-profile organizations turning
to Linux on the desktop as well.
Linux on the desktop has always lagged. The first and foremost problem
lies in the lack of Microsoft Office for Linux. While StarOffice
(http://www.sun.com/staroffice), the open-source OpenOffice
(http://www.openoffice.org), and KOffice (http://www.koffice.org) come
closer and closer to matching Microsoft Office's functionality with
each release, they still are not Microsoft Office. That's a big issue
for many firms.
All of these packages are improving their ability to support Office
file formats, a crucial capability. And, as the compatibility for
Office file formats improves, Linux is considered good enough by more
and more organizations.
The second main issue lies in lack of desktop applications. That, too,
is changing, as you can find more and more financial and other
applications for Linux. Finally, the perception that Linux on the
desktop is difficult to use remains firmly embedded in the minds of
many users. All of these concerns are valid, but organizations are
finding ways around the problems.
The City of Largo, Florida, for example, adopted the KDE desktop to
replace Windows computers. More recently, Rob Valliere reported
(http://www.robval.com/linux/desktop/index.html) that a client examined
the question of using Linux to replace Windows 2000, and eventually
saved $10,000 US for a small site with 25 computers. This article
provides a good list of Linux alternatives for common Windows
Other organizations have tried the fresh approach -- installing Linux
on the computers for all new workers, while leaving existing Windows
users alone. This reduces a lot of the resistance to change, but also
shows the IT department how much less effort is required to manage and
maintain Linux systems than Windows. Even CIO magazine presents a
humorous 12-step program for eliminating Microsoft from your network at
Of course, the recent conversions is just a drop in the bucket compared
to the number of sites running Windows on the desktop. The important
thing is that organizations concerned with cost have determined that
Linux is not only workable on the desktop, but it is also less
expensive than Windows.
Isn't it time to examine whether a switch would help your organization?

The Sound of Inner Silence in the Costa Rican Cloud Forest

Since arriving at El Silencio Lodge, an über-private nature retreat in Costa Rica's high volcanic mountains, I've been contemplating the meaning of silence. Because silence, at least here in the jungle during the early days of the rainy season, is anything but quiet. Let's start with the cicadas, which sound like buzz saws about ten […]

What I was really talking about above was a completely stripped 328i. As long as you add DHP or sport line, even without anything else you'd still have a very nice car overall....and an amazing driver's car....for a reasonably low price.
I admit I forgot about the 320i. But I feel that car is basically just a marketing ploy. It doesn't make much sense to me. I feel that just about everybody buying this car is getting it to say "I own a BMW", not because they truly love it.
I'd rather see BMW release the 4 door 1 series in the US. My wife owns a 2008 4-door hatchback 120i in Europe, and it's an awesome car. Just a perfect entry level BMW that still drives exactly like a BMW.
should be the low budget BMW option. Sigh.
You're right BJ....with the 320i, I think some people will be pretty upset when their car doesn't handle like they thought it should. That's where you come in and console them, letting them know life is still possible without DHP
But with a stripped 328i with DHP, I think people still get a whole lot of car with a lot of value.

Monday - Friday 2:00pm to 6:00pm
Stage AE Show Days:
12:00pm to 9:00pm
The Club at Stage AE Show Days:
2:00pm to 9:00pm
Admin Office is open from 10:00 AM to 6 PM on week days, excluding major holidays.
Located next to Heinz Field, Stage AE is within walking distance of numerous public parking lots and garages.
The Design
Stage AE is the second indoor/outdoor concert venue in America. Modeled after its predecessor, EXPRESS LIVE! in Columbus Ohio, Stage AE features state-of-the-art lighting, acoustical systems and an innovative reversible stage. Whether indoor or out, the venue offers unparalleled viewable intimacy. Acoustically, it's designed to capture and translate the truest experience possible. Structurally, it's divided into three independent concert spaces: indoor music hall, indoor club and outdoor amphitheater.
The Entertainment
The indoor season is booked throughout the year with the outdoor season scheduled from May to September. Stage AE averages over 110 events every year and offers a variety of music from some of the biggest names in rock, folk, blues, jazz, metal, classical, country, classic rock, alternative rock and everything in between. Additionally, Stage AE hosts sporting and special events such as championship boxing, extreme fighting challenges, charity walks, fundraisers, expos and more.
The Versatility
Located on the North Shore next to Heinz Field, no other venue offers the flexibility, versatility and intimacy of Stage AE. Available year-round for corporate functions, sporting events and private engagements, Stage AE's industrial architecture and unique rock-n-roll ambiance is ideal for creating a high-energy atmosphere for any event. At the same time, the spacious multi-level facility is able to transform itself into a glamorous ballroom suitable for the most elegant events such as weddings, banquets, and formal charity dinners.
Concert Highlights
Daryl Hall and John Oates, Motley Crue, ZZ Top, Incubus, A Perfect Circle, My Morning Jacket, The Avett Brothers, Queens of the Stone Age, Rise Against, Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, Wiz Khalifa, Mac Miller, Sigur Ros, Modest Mouse, 311, Heart, Boston, A Day to Remember, The Lumineers, Tenacious D, Soundgarden, Fall Out Boy, Social Distortion, The Black Crowes, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, Lyle Lovett
"The New Stage AE/PromoWest North Shore venue in Pittsburgh is a very well thought out and adaptable venue for artists looking for the right place to play that can do anywhere from 1000-5000 capacity. From the stage size to the artist dressing rooms and production room and facilities to the people who run and market the building it makes for a great day. Styx has found a new home in Pittsburgh."
- Charlie Brusco (Alliance Artist Management - Red Light Atlanta)
"It's really unique to have a venue that's great on the inside and outside, in the shadow of Heinz Field; we'll be back"
- Tommy Shaw (Styx)
"Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA is a great new venue"
- Lyle Lovett
"As a Pittsburgh Native, I recently had the opportunity to play the indoor and outdoor setting at Stage AE, both solo and with Poison and found it to be an unbelievable downtown experience. The fans rocked, the staff was awesome and the sound and vibe inside and out was great"
- Bret Michaels (Poison)
"Having been to EXPRESS LIVE! in Columbus several times with Alice Cooper, we were looking forward to the show this year at the Stage AE in Pittsburgh, and we were not disappointed. They took one terrific venue and built an improved version in Pittsburgh. Solid staff, smartly designed venue, good business plan. Wish they had more of them".
- Toby Mamis (Alive Enterprises Management/Trash Tours Inc)
"From my vantage point working a show at Stage AE has been terrific. The availability of space to execute a meet and greet is ample and secure. The staff works with you to coordinate any activities at the facility and is always available to assist. The close proximity to dining establishments on the North Shore is convenient for putting together a pre show dinner for clients. The show experience is always the culmination of a positive experience."
- Mark Fritzges (Atlantic Records - VP Promotion)
"Stage AE is an excellent venue and one that was long overdue for Pittsburgh and especially for the emerging North Shore. Not only does it offer great back stage amenities for the artists, it's just a great place to see a concert. Whether your're seeing the show inside or outside your right on top of the band"
- Ed Traversari (formerly of DiCesare Engler Productions)
"Backstage at Stage AE in Pittsburgh. Killer venue. Every city should have one of these".
- Scott Ian (Anthrax)
"I still miss Club Laga, sitting on the fourth floor of a building, but the [Stage AE] facility is dynamite: great staff, great stage, great sound, great sight lines."
- Matt Kelly (Dropkick Murphys)
"Are your concerts open to all ages?"
Yes. Unless otherwise indicated, our events are open to all ages.
"What time is the show?"
The time listed on your ticket is the time that the doors will open for the show. Live music will usually start about an hour after the doors open, but that's always subject to change. Also, we don't usually know the set times, that's up to the bands to decide.
"Where can I purchase tickets?"
ticketmaster.com, charge by phone at 1-800-745-3000, or at our venues. The Stage AE Box Office is open at Noon on show days.
"Do I have to pay service charges at your box office?"
Tickets for most of our events have a service charge of $4.00 per ticket.
"Where do I pick up my Will Call tickets?"
Will Call tickets can be picked up at the Box Office at the door time for Newport shows, and beginning approximately two hours prior to the door time for EXPRESS LIVE! and Stage AE shows.
"My ticket says 'General Admission' -- what's that mean?"
Almost all of our shows are general admission standing room only, which means that there is no assigned seating, if there's seating at all. On occasions when events are seated, the ticket agent will be able to help you select the best available reserved seating location at your time of purchase. If you require ADA accessible seating for a general admission show, a member of our Guest Services staff can help accommodate your needs when you arrive.
"I bought tickets for a show and now one of the bands are not playing. Can I get a refund?"
Unfortunately no, unless the headliner is no longer playing. Support bands often change through the tour.
"Can I leave the show and come back?"
Almost all of our events have a "no re-entry" policy, which means once you enter, you cannot leave and re-enter. There are food and beverages available on-site, as well as an ATM.
"Does my child need a ticket to get in?"
Yes. Everyone, regardless of age, must have a ticket unless otherwise posted.
"Can I bring a camera, video camera, or recording device?"
The camera policy is set by the artist. Generally, the rule is that no professional cameras or recording devices of any kind are allowed. Many artists will allow you to bring a disposable or small digital camera. If you have a question about the camera policy for a specific show, please contact us.
"Can we smoke at the show?"
Indoor shows are non-smoking including but not limited to e-cigs, vapes, etc. in accordance to Allegheny County law.
"What happens if I've lost my ticket?"
You will need to try and get a replacement from where you made your purchase.
"Can I get a refund if I can't make it to the show"
Sorry, as indicated on your ticket, there are no refunds or exchanges. If a show is canceled or postponed, then you may seek a refund at your point of purchase.
"Do you have a coat check?"
"What can't I bring to a show with me?"
For the safety of both concert patrons and our staff, we do not allow the following items:
"The Holiday Inn Express & Suites North Shore Pittsburgh offers modern style, comfort, and affordability for our guests. Enjoy our complimentary wifi to keep you connected with friends, family, or work; or take our complimentary shuttle within 3 miles to all the nearby Pittsburgh attractions and restaurants. Our 24 hour fitness center and indoor swimming pool (open 7am-11pm) allow you to fit in a workout of any kind. And our delicious complimentary breakfast will get your morning started the right way!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
So, a few years ago I tried to change the appearance of WMZ and it changed everyone else's personal profile pages. I freaked out and changed it back.
I realize this site has looked exactly the same since 2008. Do you like that or not like it? if I change to a different older theme we can keep personal pages the same. But, If I do a new updated theme (which I assume are much better) you'll lose your personal layouts.
Now is your time to give me your opinion. Do I:
Thanks for your input.
Views: 50
I think it'd be fine to change the whole thing! I'd say it's ready for a new look, and I don't feel any attachment to the personal profile aspect.
Eeehh. I'm open to changing the whole thing....if I can get my profile page to look nearly exactly the same post-site redesign. Do we still have all the same options to customize our pages after the site is updated, or will these options be eliminated/changed?
Sorry, that's sort of unhelpful....I guess in a nutshell I vote keep it as-is or switch to an older theme.

*My ticket into the Shirts on Sale Sad Rat Race
Purchase it tomorrow HERE
I know I beat ya... sigh.. nifty shirt this go-round, though..
very dr. suess-ish, yet creepy, but creme? blah.
what... that's slightly disturbing.. no thanks woot!
Trippy... I like.
In for one maybe. : o
Looks like barf! Not something I will be wearing anytime soon. Thumbs down!
so, that's gross
dude proably the best woot shirt ive ever seen
it's a mirror image of yourself while looking at the shirt : multi-colored vomit!
i dont understand
I love the design.... but am not so much sure about the color.. Its time to use a lifeline
also -- that submarine's testes are smiling.
who barf'd? pass.... good night.
I saw one of these in the Amsterdam canals - honest
This shirt should have been named:
it's kind of cute in a disturbed please-bite-me sort of way
yeesh.. two ugly shirts.. two days in a row.
Let's hope this isn't a trend.
Are those coy fish puking?
I like creepy disturbing random shirts, count me in for one.
Man, this would be a great shirt for my kids. Woot, if you ever branch out into kids sizes, I'd pay the next day price for some of these in sizes 2T and up.
I would be in for one if I had the cash. I knew who designed this without even looking at the name, and I must say they did a good job! One of the first I have liked on Woot in a while.
I love Zeptonn, really I do. But why cream? If the colors on screen are at all accurate to the colors on the actual shirt, the cream doesn't work at all for that set of colors. AT ALL.
On black, I'd have bought.
HarryBeanbag wrote:Are those coy fish puking?
Shouldn't be. Koi are typically orange.
Why does this shirt remind me of autofellatio?
i like the concept, but the design is ugly. no offense.
Ewww.. now that's gross enough to make anyone heave!
The design itself is pretty darn cool. I could imagine people looking at it and turning their heads this way and that trying to make sense of it. But, the colors of the design aren't very appealing. Blue, green, and yellow? Come on. I might still buy it even despite that, but the color of the shirt itself kills it for me.
Needs moar red.
Would have bought it if it wasn't creme... sorry, woot.
this shirt makes me wanna throw up
Very cool design... wish i had a painting of this on canvas like threadless offers/
Damn I wish Woot would let you choose a shirt color. I'd buy this on any other color..
I need to buy something to get me out of this "One Woot" status >.<
This could be the best shirt I've ever seen... In for one!
Strange and disturbing. Cream? It looks pink to me.
mebbe, mebbe not. can't decide just yet.
brizz wrote:mebbe, mebbe not. can't decide just yet.
it's cracking me and my gf up (yes, we check shirt.woot almost every night we can)
condition: Undigested
product(s): 1 Cream Woot Tee (4534)
I'm almost tempted to buy this and see what the reactions will be on a casual friday, or any other day for that matter
some of the worms seem extremely happy.......hummmmmmmmm

April 29, 2013
Record Last Week: 1-3, 1-2
6 pm ET
6 pm ET
7 pm ET
1 pm ET
Bamberg, S.C.
Weekly Stats: 1-0, 2.00 ERA, 1 GS, 1 CG, 9.0 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, .206 Opp. BA
Season Stats: 4-5, 2.88 ERA, 13 G, 11 GS, 4 CG, 2 SHO, 84.1 IP, 73 H, 37 R, 27 ER, 26 BB, 73 K, .230 Opp. BA
Notes: Senior Zack Godley turned in his third consecutive complete game to lead Tennessee to its first win over Florida in Gainesville since 2007 as the Volunteers defeated the Gators, 4-2, on Sunday at McKethan Stadium.
The Bamberg, S.C., native allowed two runs in the game's first inning before putting eight consecutive zeroes up on the scoreboard. He finished with six strikeouts while yielding seven hits and walking two batters. He got stronger as the game went on, retiring 16 of the final 18 batters he faced. From the fifth inning on, he allowed just two Gators to reach base and neither got past first.
Godley is the first UT pitcher to fire complete games in three consecutive starts since Craig Cobb did it in 2006 with nine-inning efforts at Arkansas and at home against LSU and Florida. Over those three games, Godley has allowed just three earned runs on 19 hits, only three of which have gone for extra bases. He has also struck out 21 batters and walked just six.
Sunday's complete game was his fourth of the season, making him the first pitcher in the SEC to reach that mark this year. By comparison, Tennessee had just four complete games as a team in the 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons combined. Godley now leads the conference with 84.1 innings pitched this season and ranks fourth with 73 strikeouts
Tennessee closed out a tough week on a winning note, beating Florida in Gainesville for the first time since 2007 behind the strength of senior Zack Godley's third consecutive complete-game, 4-2, on Sunday.
The victory came after a midweek loss on the road at MTSU, a 7-2 defeat in the series opener against the Gators on Friday and a gut-wrenching, 3-2, loss in 10 innings on Saturday night.
Godley came through with another stellar outing on Sunday to help the Vols salvage a victory though, firing a complete game for the third week in a row. After yielding two runs in the first inning, he proceeded to put zeroes up on the scoreboard in each of the next eight frames to lead the Vols to the 4-2 victory. After the fifth inning, he allowed just two runners to reach base and neither was able to get past first as he retired 16 of the final 18 batters that he faced.
Offensively, the Vols got a big boost from Ethan Bennett who was 2-for-3 with his third home run of the season while hitting out of the cleanup spot for the first time in his career. Freshman Derek Lance also had a big hit for the Big Orange, coming up with a clutch run-scoring double to record his first career hit and RBI on the same play.
Bennett's round-tripper extended his hitting streak to a career-high tying seven games. During that stretch, he is hitting .455 (10-for-26) with four doubles, two triples, a home run, six runs scored and three RBIs. He is now hitting .327 on the season.
The win for Tennessee was its first in Gainesville since May 19, 2007, when it beat the Gators, 11-7, in the regular-season finale to clinch a spot in the SEC Tournament. That stands as the last time the Big Orange made the trip to Hoover.
For the week, sophomore Will Maddox paced the UT attack from the top of the order by hitting at a cool .500 clip, going 7-for-14 with a pair of doubles, three runs scored, an RBIs and three walks. He also drove in a run, was hit by a pitch twice and was 2-for-2 in stolen-base attempts.
Maddox's .353 average for the season leads the Orange and White and ranks ninth in the SEC, while his 16 stolen bases and 60 hits place him second and sixth in the league, respectively.
The Volunteers will now return to Rocky Top where they will open a five-game homestand with a 6 p.m. contest against MTSU on Tuesday, April 30. UT will then welcome border-rival Georgia to Lindsey Nelson Stadium for a three-game set, May 3-5. The Friday night opener is set for a 6 p.m. first pitch, while Saturday's contest will begin at 7 p.m. and be televised on CSS. Sunday will be broadcast on ESPNU with the game slated for a 1 p.m. start.

I said other. Meaning the cheapest available. Some of it is corrosive, just takes a little extra effort on the cleaning and some of it is not. Buy what you can find the most reasonable price on and stack it deep. Your AK won't care.
This is a discussion on AK's and ammo..... within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Ok, I am new to AK's... as far as owning one. I love them and have always wanted one, but tried and tried to resist. ...
Other ?? (pls post answer)
Ok, I am new to AK's... as far as owning one. I love them and have always wanted one, but tried and tried to resist. Ok, I found one I want. To heck with resisting any longer... may not have another good chance.
When I was in China.... (for work) ... one guard (we were on a mil. facility) chambered a round and was showing me his AK (pointing it at my face) really close. As he was pointing it at me and screaming, I was trying to see the gun closer and get a good look at it... since I had such a close view and this was a rare opportunity (see the latest Chinese Military issue). I can say... I don't like the looks of it when the barrel is pointed at my head, that's not quite the view I would have liked to have.
Then the Secret Police came out and straightened him out real quick, and he turned pale white and became very apologetic. Another guard, I tried to always walk close by him... even tho his 2 guard dogs didn't like me much, and the flag above his head reminded me where I was.... the gun really looked good. I'ld like to have one.

We will be much better off when we learn to deal with things as they really are, instead of how we wish them to be!
I'm not a vast repository of AK experience, but it seems most folks feed theirs a steady diet of whatever they can find or afford with no or minimal effect. My Norinco Mak-90 eats anything I fit in the mags excepting rocks. They are just very tolerant weapon systems that are not picky.

I do not want to hijack this thread, but I don't see a reason to start a new one considering our question is similar.
One local gun shop told me that ammo for AK's is NOT very accurate.
Adding to Eagleks question about ammo, is this true. If so are any of the ammo brands better than others.
I have not purchased an AK yet, but considering our President is going to ban them, I figure I might as well buy one before he does.
Paul Gomez has done extensive testing with the AK. Essentially, the Wolf Military Classic is the most accurate, as of his sessions last year or so. Given that all manufacturers have ramped up production to meet civilian and military demand, I don't see a revolution in performance in that limited time.

I agree with the cheapest is best. It will fire anything.

I've just gotta reply to this. Funny, since this is my first posting on the Concealed Carry Forum. Anyway, I just purchased a nice Romanian WASR last year and I've been learning and using. It's a great gun and eats any commie ammo you want to feed it. I've read that the Golden Bear is a little cleaner than the Brown Bear and Wolf. (though I've not seen any thing too serious with any of my ammo) The real problem right now is that since Obama was elected, there's been a run on the reasonably priced 7.62x39 ammo. I've not been able to get any cheap ammo for the last few months. I did find a source of Yugoslavian 7.62x39 that's supposedly a little corrosive. Welcome to Samco Global Arms, Inc. Another suggestion is to invest in a .22 conversion for simple plinking. http://www.22lrconversions.com/ak-pg.htm Anyway, you'll really enjoy shooting it and it's extremely forgiving. Another point, you were asking about the accuracy. The AK-47 is not a sniper gun and is really for close in. The SKS, which uses the same ammunition, is much more accurate. Great thread and great forum.

My Clutch Problems and How I Resolved Them
My clutch issues and how I resolved them:
6 Cyl
External Clutch Slave Cylinder
First Id like to say thank you to the forum in general. All of the previous threads concerning clutch problems, shifting problems, grinding gears, etc. were very helpful in the overall troubleshooting process. Without the folks here on the forum Id have less cash in my pocket and wouldnt have the satisfaction of doing the job myself. With that said, Im publishing my own findings and adding my own experiences in hopes that future Jeepsters who need the same info will find it helpful. Im no expert and I dont claim to be one. There are often many ways to make repairs. The following is only my experience, what I encountered, and how I resolved it.
The clutch pedal became increasingly hard to push in.
The clutch had to be pushed farther and farther towards the floor in order to shift
When pushing in the clutch pedal, it sounded like something was straining itself. Id like to describe the sound but cant and it might be misleading anyway so Ill just leave it as straining.
Intermittent problem going into and out of 1st gear or reverse
-- Physically hard to push from neutral to 1st
-- Physically hard to pull from 1st to neutral (popping out)
-- Sometimes impossible to go into reverse without grinding
-- Sometimes a slow grinding sound when going to reverse then it would stop and shifting into reverse would be normal
The problem occurred frequently in temperatures below freezing or higher elevations. Not sure if it was temperature or pressure from the higher elevation or both that made it occur more.
Checked the liquid level in the Clutch Master Cylinder to find it empty
I later found the master cylinder has a boot of some sort that sits over the liquid and sometimes comes off with the cap. IF it does not come off with the cap, and stays in the cylinder, dont be fooled like I was into thinking it was empty because the liquid reservoir is actually below this boot / gasket item. Later in my troubleshooting I was adding break fluid to what I thought was the reservoir but was not (dont I feel stupid for wasting a couple hours of my time)
The manual and forum said that if the liquid drops too low then air bubbles might be in the line. Since I thought the cylinder was empty, I proceeded to attempt bleeding the line of air bubbles.
Think about safety:
= Goggles or face shield
= Rubber gloves to keep the fluid off your hands
= Old clothes
= Plenty of ventilation so as not to breath too many vapors
= Lots of rags or paper towels
Lessons learned the hard way (mistakes):
o Found the slave cylinder by tracing the line down from the master cylinder. Its mounted on the external of the clutch bell housing.
o On the top of the slave cylinder there was a set screw (Allen Head) that theoretically one would open enough to bleed the air out in a similar manner as bleed brake lines. HOWEVER, BLEEDING IN THIS MANNER IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!!!
o My helper pumped and then held the pedal on the floor while I turned the set screw with an Allen wrench. Both air and then liquid shot out the hole in the side and right onto my arm and face. BE SURE TO WEAR GOGGLES!!!
o We attempted another set of pump and hold and got liquid but the pedal became very weak, no resistance at all, no back pressure against the foot.
o I went to check the liquid level in the master cylinder and this time the boot / gasket thing came off with the cap! Now I could see the real reservoir and it was definitely empty.
o Filled the reservoir with brake fluid and reattempted the bleeding process. After multiple sets of pump, hold, release, the symptoms returned only back to where they were when I started the project (tension in the pedal went back to the old normal).
o On my last set, the plastic threads on the body of the cylinder started to shred. The set screw became unable to tighten, and it leaked profusely.
o Time to get a new part
Installation of the Slave Cylinder:
Based on what I saw here on the forum, I decided the set screw way of bleeding air from the lines was NOT the way to go. I would suggest you dont even try it because you not only risk getting sprayed in the face with brake fluid, but it will eventually ruin the threads and damage the plastic body of the slave cylinder. There is another way to bleed the cylinder which is explained later (press on cylinder and allow air bubbles to expel out of the master reservoir)
Dismount the slave cylinder body from the bell housing and place over a bucket
Remove the set screw from the cylinder (completely)
Remove the master cylinder cap and the rubber boot / gasket thing
Allow the liquid in the lines to drain from the cylinder into the bucket
Remove the line from the back of the cylinder
-- Place a piece of wood between the floor and the front drive shaft so that you can use it to prop the cylinder against when hammering the pin out of the fitting which holds the tube in place
-- I tried using a small Phillips head, an Allen wrench, and other items but found a torx (star shaped) screw driver works the best. An appropriate sized nail punch would be best. You need to find something that does not go into the hole of the pin or it will cause the edges to flare out, preventing movement. Something flat headed is best.
-- Position the body of the cylinder against the wooden board, hold the body in the same hand as the pin pusher you choose to try, and gently tap the pin until it starts to move out of the hole.
-- Once youve got the pin started, then you can use any device to punch it out the rest of the way
-- If the old O ring stayed on the brass fitting, remove it and use the new one
-- Install the O ring onto the end of the brass fitting that remains inside the tube
-- Install the set screw into the bleed housing of the plastic cylinder: DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!!!
Fill the cylinder with brake fluid
-- I was surprised at how much fluid you can put into the cylinder
-- Remove the plastic holders for the piston from their mounting position on the flange...DO NOT CUT OFF. We need the piston to travel through its full length without being limited by the holders.
-- Over a bucket...Move the piston in and out slowly while pouring liquid into the cylinder
-- Try to put as much liquid in as possible
-- With the cylinder pointing towards the ground, push the brass fitting (on the end of the tube) with the new O ring you just installed into the back of the new cylinder
-- Use your fingers to install the new pin enough so that it stays in the hole.
-- Lightly tap the pin the rest of the way in
Prop the cylinder against the board in a way that it stays oriented with the piston pointing towards the ground. Th next step will be to bleed the air bubbles and we want them to flow up out of the cylinder and up the line towards the master.
Pour brake fluid into the master cylinder
Manually press the piston on the slave cylinder and listen to the liquid moving through the tube. You should hear a combination of liquid being sucked down into the tube and air escaping back out through the master cylinder
Check the level at the master cylinder, maintain about half full
Slowly move the piston on the slave cylinder in/out until there is no more sound liquid moving into the lines or air bubbles leaving the line. An assistant might be helpful but not necessary. After about 10 in /out cycles it should be done.
Place the rubber boot / gasket and cap back onto the master cylinder
The bleeding is done. If you follow this procedure and your problems do not go away then you do not have to worry about the bleeding procedure. If your problems dont go away then you either have a problem with the master cylinder, the clutch components inside the bell housing, or possibly a bad slave cylinder from the manufacturer (it happens).
Check for leaks at the cylinder
Mount the slave cylinder
-- Place the plastic tabs that limit the piston travel back into the holders so that the piston will only go out as far as the tabs allow
-- Ive read that the tabs need to stay attached; however, my old cylinder did not have them. When I placed the new cylinder into the bell housing, I could tell that there was only about ¼ of an inch travel that would be allowed if I left the tabs installed. I removed them with a pair of dikes. You may want to consult others on this step and not take my advice. I thought I needed more than ¼ inch travel so off they came and it seems to work fine.
-- Be sure the end of the piston is resting in the correct place
-- Gently push the body of the cylinder towards the bell housing. The piston should retract.
o Install the two bolts
o Check for leaks
Check to see if shifting improves with the vehicle off
Check to see if shifting improves with the vehicle on
Check for leaks
Take a test drive
ALL MY ABNORMAL SYMPTOMS WERE GONE and I got a refund on the master cylinder.
Nice write up, I will print it out for future reference. Thanks for enduring all the pain to teach us all how to properly replace the slave cyl.
Agreed. Very descriptive and informative. Thanks for all the work.
I heard that you could take the slave cylinder out, hold it vertically, push and pull the pin in and out to get the air out.
Exact same symptoms but one
Live in NE when it is very cold, like all winter, until today. I have the exact same symptoms. However my clutch master cylinder is full. I have a 2001 6 cyl. Clutch was replaced in 08 with 95000 miles. Fly wheel as well. When on an incline at a light, in the cold, it gets very difficult to get the jeep in gear. When it gets very bad I've had to restart in fourth and downshift difficultly to third and I could get it home. I go out today and it runs like a charm, today it is in the mid 40's here. I thought it might be the clutch again but it seems so soon and although I'm not a perfect driver I got 8 years out of the first one. How tough is it to change out the slave. I read the above, but I'm concerned it may be too big a job. I do all my brakes and general maintenance. I can read but probably won't have a partner to help. Any thoughts on what it could be or how to narrow it down would be really helpful.
bleeding clutch use a 1/4" clear tube 2' long run in to bottle of water
No need for goggles. And this will allow you to see where all aimed is out of system. Put 8mm wrench on bleeds valve, then 1/4" tube. Run other end in to like a 2 litre bottle filled about half way with water. Also call use this with any bleeding system as well as brakes. Always do lower slave then pump pedal to get any remaining air out of line through resiviour. This will take two people

Outstanding thug control program! Keep it up!!!
The problem is, the criminals of today are uncivilized compared to the Mob gangs that used to run crime.
Each one knew their place and it was rare that they crossed the line.
Back then, they would kill you if you crossed them, but they still respected life, in a twisted sort of way.
They went to church, and led respectable criminal lives.
Nowadays they are just ill-mannered thug punks run amok.
Life certainly ain't what it used to be.
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans
Don't ever think that the reason I'm peaceful is because I don't know how to be violent

wall paneling..
How can I cover up wall paneling where you don't know it was there...
wall paneling
Is putting sheetrock over it an option?
Pull it off
If it was installed correctly, there's drywall behind it
If you want to just paint it, there's ways
It may still look like paneling, but maybe not depending on what type you have to work with
There's many, many, different kinds of paneling out there, so I can't say for sure w/o more info
The groovy '70s stuff with the brown lines, you have to sand, dust, prime (oil or shellac), fill in the brown grooves with joint compound, sand smooth, prime again, paint
If it's real textured, that's going to be a problem

DNS is one of those things in life one often takes for granted. It just works. It is however, the phone book of the Internet. Without DNS, maintaining lookup data would be a difficult endevor. With Openstack, there is certainly a need for a DNS service, particularly, something that works well with Openstack and adheres to its standards and philosophy. One such project is Moniker.
Moniker is a an Openstack-inspired DNS as-a-service project. It is intended to be used to provide DNS service from the entry point of creating, updating, maintaining and deleting DNS data using the Moniker API, to providing DNS resolution for users. It is a very modular project, allowing for the use of whatever DNS server and organization demands, or the database where DNS data is stored. It is also intended to work in conjunction with other components such as Nova.
Moniker is an ideal project to use for developing DNS as a service for an organization, and HP in particular is building their DNSaaS product based on Moniker.
This discussion will provide an overview of Moniker as well as in-depth discussion of the various components such as:
* Moniker processes and configuration
* How Moniker allows multiple DNS server backends and creating new backends
* How Moniker allows backend database storage
* Using the Moniker API
Also, a demonstration of using Moniker will be given, showing DNS domain creation, modification and deletion, followed by a question and answer session.

Brainwave Controlled Ears as Communication Organ
Neuroware pitch their latest product as a human organ communication tool which expresses a user's mental condition before and during speech.
Not a strong addition to the Transhumanist movement, but interesting all the same, 'Necomimi' offers wearers a new form of physical communication via a set of brainwave-controlled ears.
Japanese brainwave-driven fashion/gadget company Neuroware pitch their latest product as a human organ communication tool which expresses a user's mental condition before and during speech.
They explain:
Just put on necomimi and if you are concentrated on, this cat's ear shaped machine will rise. When you are relaxed, your new ears lie down.
If concentration and relaxing time comes at the same time, your new ears rise and move actively. In general, professional sport players demonstrate their abilities most in this condition.
If people show their feeling even they don't express, what differences will be happened? Interesting? Ashamed? Scared?
In the beginning, people may feel strange, however people are getting accustomed to control their new ears by brain waves if they keep using. At this moment, necomimi can be part of your body.
Watch the clip of people trying out the technology at the Smile bazaar, Omotesando Hills below;

In MUD can we check in the changes simultaneously by multiple users into the Master RPD.
No. Once you checkin the master rpd is locked, only after publishing the changes other users can checkin.
