From the answers that I read I have got the feeling that a large part of this paleo community is low-carb paleo, having large intakes of meat, fish and eggs plus few vegetables and almost no fruit, while the rest, like me are omnivores, eating meat, fish, eggs but also large amounts of vegetables and fruits. Am I right to think this way and how many of you belong to the low-carb or the omnivorous group?
I'm totally omnivorous. I love meat, but I also eat the dreaded starch and enjoy fruit as much as I want. I guess I got into this early enough that my body can still tolerate starch and I don't gain weight. I think it's a different game if you start this when you are 19 vs. when you start it when you at 50 and prediabetic. |
I eat lamb, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, clarified butter, russet potatoes, 3 brazil nuts/d, 2 grams kelp/d, 50 g natto/d and no fruit currently. My diet is VLF(ructose) but not really low carb since I generally eat 2-3 potatoes a day. I'm of the opinion that the elimination of fructose is far more important than the reduction or elimination of carbs and the real reason that VLC and ZC work so well for fat loss is that they also happen to be VLF and ZF. |
It depends what you call low carb? I try to get around 75 grams per day, so some days that is starches and some days that is fruits, once in awhile it's both. I just kind of go with I bought at the store and what I'm in the mood for. I have strawberries and blueberries on the menu tomorrow, but I probably haven't had them in a month. I would say I am a moderate carb omnivore. |
I don't think Paleo necessarily means low-carb. I partake in carbs frequently, and compared to the rest of the Paleo community, I'm probably very high-carb; however, in relation to the rest of the world, I'm also very low-carb. I average around 150g-ish a day. I eat fruit 2-3 times a day, eat vegetables with lunch (my favorite meal of the day, with a serving each of something like broccoli, zucchini, and cauliflower) and snack on dark chocolate and nut butters for dessert. Once or twice a week or so, I crave a sweet potato or acorn squash, and enjoy it thoroughly. :) Oh, and I also average around 100-115+ g of protein a day, and the same for fat. |
I eat lots of vegetables, especially of the starchy variety, almost every day. I love root vegetables, potatoes both sweet and white, plantains, all types of squash, salad-type veggies and sea vegetables and don't monitor my intake of them consciously, although I do go through periods where I just don't want certain ones very much. I am also pretty liberal with fruit when it is around, although more so in the summertime since I seem to have little desire for it, with the exception of an apple or a handful of berries every few weeks, when it is cold out. I feel better when I include these things in my diet than when I don't. |
It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Some people are trying to lose weight, some are trying to gain, some need to tweek to improve exercise recovery or energy levels, etc. There is no one size fits all in paleo. It depends on your situation, your lifestyle and your epigenetics. |
I actually consider myself high-carb, in the sense that fruits and veges make up a huge percentage of my daily intake. Along with lots of meat, eggs, and other protein! But say high-carb today, and everyone thinks donuts and pasta. I am very low-Processed-carbs. |
I've been experimenting with zero-carb for the last 3 weeks (total carnivore... no plant-based carbs at all). I'm shooting for a month of zero-carb, then I might return to eating a few veggies with dinner. I believe I have a pathogenic gut bacteria that florish in a fiber or carb rich evironment. The lower I keep my fiber and carbs, the better I seem to feel. Here's a good link for zero-carb if you are interested... link text |
I vary from day to day, I have no weight to lose so just go with circumstance and what's in my fridge really, or what's in the reduced section at tescos :) Although I do tend to lean on the low fruit intake side of things, not for weight gain, it's just my sweet tooth seems to have vanished for things as sweet as most fruits, 85% cocoa and upwards dark chocolate however I have no problem consuming daily :D |
so what exactly is paleo? (rhetorically asked...) i know all the theories, strict definitions, deviations etc etc - in my view, omnivorous IS paleo/primal provided the carbs are low, you don't avoid the sat-fats (cordain-discrepancy noted), you don't eat grains and you adjust your hand-to-mouth habits with the extra step: hand - is this an evolutionarily positive-neutral or negative food? - mouth. our ancestors survived. to survive they were forced to eat anything and everything when meat was not available - which must have been a survival-threatening part of the time, yes? i also think that for a much longer part of the time, goat dairy was a nutritional adjunct to many HG nomadic groups as the incidence of lactose-intolerance is in reality, pretty low (another big discussion i know). so IMHO, the paleo diet thing is a framework that is forever being tweaked as we adopt or discard different viewpoints, analyze information and change personal preferences. Our ancestors were omnivorous within the world of available foodstuffs that they lived. we just gotta make more complicated judgments given the preponderance of food-like substance food rather than (or hopefully along with) the real, natural thing. |
Hmmm... how to answer this one? :) |
I took up eating tubers and fruit again because I ran into trouble with amenorrhea (for over a year), cold intolerance, and general craziness (binging and purging, irrationality) when I was low carb paleo for too long. I was taking in a ton of coconut oil and meat at the time, so I'm sure I had plenty of calories and ketone bodies to burn, but it wasn't enough to keep me either fertile or sane. Yes, I'm fatter than I would like to be, but it's the price I pay for the capacity to leave viable offspring. Not being batshit insane also a plus. YMMV, of course! |
low-carber's are by definition also omnivorous. The question is better worded "Where are you on the low-carb vs high-carb continuum?" |

Welcome back to my ranking of the top sports business stories of the year. Typically, I've done this feature as a three-parter, but let's turn it into four this year. Click here for Nos. 20-16.
No. 15: Indians plan a wind turbine for Progressive Field: It will be installed on the southeast corner of the roof.
No. 14: Peyton Hillis makes the cover of "Madden 12": … and we all know what happened from there, with one of the wilder falls from grace in recent memory, starting with strep throat of all things.No. 13: Brad Paisley comes to Progressive Field: The country megastar played to a big crowd in June and continued the team's out-of-the-box thinking for uses of their stadium. Speaking of …No. 12: The Indians add to "Snow Days" with the "Frozen Diamond Faceoff": Seizing on the popularity of the NHL's "Winter Classic" outdoor hockey game each New Year's Day, the Indians bring Ohio State and Michigan to Progressive Field for outdoor hockey on Jan. 15.No. 11: Ohio State Five/Sugar Bowl/Tressel/Fickell: The NCAA continues its hypocrisy, suspending Ohio State players including Terrelle Pryor for part of the 2011 season but allowing them to play in the Sugar Bowl, where big money is at stake. Eventually, those players' misdeeds and Jim Tressel's failure to report the mistakes costs him his job, and Luke Fickell eventually gets a raw deal in replacing him.

Fisker expanding into Canada
The Fisker Karma sedan will soon be available in Canada.
The California-based electric-car manufacturer has partnered with the Dilawri Group, Canada's largest automotive dealer group, and the Field Automotive Group.
"Both Dilawri and Fields have the premium-brand experience we want and that the customers expect," Matt Malfitano, director of North American Market Operations at Fisker, said in a statement.
Initial locations will be in Toronto, Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver. Fisker plans to expand operations as Karma production develops.
The Canadian government, a proponent of plug-in vehicles, has said it hopes to have 500,000 on the roads by 2018. It offers incentives of $5,000 to $8,500 to plug-in-vehicle buyers.

He gets a pass on the first one. Marchand throws a backhand pass from the boards while under pressure, it goes past Salo, then through the skates of Recchi, then Bergeron swings at it and tries a one-timer in traffic that he doesn't connect on fully and his stick hits a Canuck defender's skate. The puck then goes through the a defender's legs and goes right along the ice and slides just to the right of Luongo's pad on the blocker side. If Bergeron connects on that one Lou probably saves it because he is in perfect position to stop almost anything other than a lucky puck that goes off the heel of the shooter's stick. I actually thought Recchi was going to be picking that puck up as Bergeron was almost totally covered.
The second one he as at fault only because the initial shot that came in from the point he saw all the way but didn't smother it and instead gave up a bad rebound.....however, he recovered on that then made a save at the side of the net, the defense was lost, Marchand grabbed up the puck and Lou had to scramble to prevent him from putting one in short-side. Marchand whips around the net and Lou dives back and actually gets his stick on it on the far side, but not enough. Can you tell me what Bieksa, Alberts, and Daniel were doing?
The third one some will argue is as much the fault of the defenseman coming back who takes out Bergeron and then slides into Lou. But I've watched that replay a hundred times and Lou didn't even look like he tried to hold the fort there. He could easily have held that out if he has used his pad instead of trying to grab it with his glove. He misplayed it badly. That was a short-handed goal though, and the Canucks needed to be MUCH better on the PP in that series. I lay the PP woes at the feet of both the players and the coaches. Regardless, goal number 3 is on Lou at the end of the play.
So what those goals and the stats, and from actually having watched the game, tell me is that the Canucks were beaten by a stronger, healthier, dirtier, and bigger, team that setup their game in a way that eliminates the Canucks offense. It was no different than what Sutter had his Kings do in round one this year. It tells me that we watched 7 games (12 if you count round one of this year) of Vigneault's patented phantom offense and the team got burned.

We had a great year! I hope you did so as well!
There were very special shows going on – and we've been working with fantastic musicians.
No matter if the project was MEUS AMORES – brazilian lovesongs with the incredibly Benjamim Taubkin on piano and Margarethe Deppe on Violoncello – with a tour bringing us to the completly sold out Wiener Konzerthaus / Mozartsaal or the Cancarejew Dom in Ljublana – or with my regular band project presenting brazilian bastardsound – it was simply amazing!
We had a small US Tour, bringing us to New York City & Washington DC, where we had a great time at Joe's Pub and at the Austrian Cultural Forums.
In Europe, certainly one of the highlights was playing at the Veneto Jazz Festival – or doing the opening of Into the City / Wiener Festwochen.
I loved the energetic cooperation with la Banda di Piazza Caricamento from Genova, with amazing shows in Italy & Croatia and our new project "everybody bastardista" presenting a huge band with amazing rappers and dancers – simply BOMBASTIC!
Not to forget an excursion to the roots of Bossa Nova with the brazilian legend Nelson Angelo…
Here is my present to all of you –
lots of love !!
And 2011 is even more promising!
we will party and enjoy 100 years centenary of international women's day with a great project: femous. The femous orchestra will bring female excellency to all of you… don't miss us!!!
and in the meantime… I'm in Brazil – between Pedra Azul, my hometown and Salvador, where I'm running the project Casa Matria — find me @ http://www.casamatria.net Axé!!!

Why Does Mw3 have lag compensation?
Like (0)
Its Instantly made the game bad why chouldn't they have it like MW2 and Cod4 All the people i know hate the game just because of this
+ The 5 Sec rule takes the fun out of the killstreaks u should be rewarded for getting killstreaks.
All online games have lag comp.
Are u sure because in Mw2 and Cod4 i dont get killed around corners
All online games have lag comp. Without lag comp online games would be unplayable.
Ok then so Y does Mw3 and Black Ops have Moderate Strict and Open Nats and they are **** games and then Mw2 and Cod4 just have Open and the game is sooooooo much better
The nat type is your problem there bud, not the game.
My nat type is open on MW3, BO, CoD4, WaW, MW2 and all online games I own. Do yourself a favor and google your solution because I assure you that the strict nat type is a problem on your end.
Nat type is an entirely different thing related to the users connection and not the game itself.
not a nat type problem my nat type is open and i have good internet and dont tell me that its my router or my network i know for a fact that its not. its been set up by a professional and he checks it regularly. im running as fast as i can without going to fiberoptic
5 second rule??? what's that I don't get it. I can see your frustration with lag comp the amount of times i've joined a lobby, the game starts I start with full bars someone comes in 1 bars it and my internet gets raped. how is that fair?
the 5 second rule is that when ur in a AC130 or reaper when the enemy just spawns u cant kill them u just get hitmarkers
It's called spawn protection and it only seems to work against KSs or at the start of rounds. It's fair, considering that you shouldn't have to die right after spawning.
Yea but if u played MW2 getting in the Ac130 it is sooo fun because its Multi After Multi
It wasn't fun for the people killed over and over again. Getting ac130s was/is too easy, especially with care packages being so generous this time around.
i dont really care about lag comp anymore. if i see that it gets really bad then i just flip my lag switch and fight it back
Oh and that solves the problem? you only make it worse you are cheating to by exploiting the lag compensation to your advantage. Resorting to that is just making it worse
Because Robert Trolling decided that This Game F-ing Sucks
I don't understand why people blame the stealth clown. He's not even head designer. He's community manager, he doesn't have as much say in what goes in the game as people think he does.
Y doesn't he tell the designers to just fix Mw2 from the hacks and dangerclose and then MW2 would be the best game in the world and no 1 will play Mw3. people only play mw3 because they are sick of the noob tubers and hackers on mw2
Not a bright one eh? What part of my thread didn't you understand?
The stealth clown has little if any influence in what goes in the game. Want to blame anyone, blame Activision, IW, or Sledgehammer.
402 is a puppet, he does and says what Activision and IW tell him to.
You're new here aren't you
lag compensation needs to be removed, i got all my buddies disconnecting their high-speed then all tethering to one super slow cell phone for K/Ds of 6+ every game, one even has a max killstreak of 109!!!!!! with an average of 56!!!!! WTF!!!! I've got 4MB and my kd dropped from 1.26 to 0.33 the 1st week of this retarded patch.
that's 4mb upstream 45meg down 35ms ping but my stupid iphone won't let me edit my comments nor view my entire line of text, iphones suck!
If the "hot spot" cell phone claim, going through cell towers is true then IW really needs to enforce a "minimum" speed limit on local area matchmaking....What I really want to know is why are people so compelled to resorting to questionable tactics to gain an edge???? My K/d is 2.08 and I have NEVER even tried any of these things. I had my share of WTF games and lag but really? Using a wifi hot spot to utilize the lag comp?!?!?! Our country is full of used car salesmen in training....we should all change our last names to Madoff.
IF you have a k/d over 2.0 then the lag compensators are helping you because you have a **** connection. The reason that people are compelled to gain an edge is because the lag compensation ***** most people in this game and those who are constantly screwed cant take it anymore. I'm sick of being ****** game after game because I pay to have a great internet connection. You would be too if you didnt have the poor-man's package.
sincerely, your mother
Poor man's package?? Buddy, you know nothing about me. I may have cable Internet but it's not a "poor man's" connection. Relax. I still get lag with my set up too and I have not changed my hardware since before BO. That game ran fine for me after the first month of release. This game is totally different. Also, I play drop zone and TDM mostly. That's why my K/D is over 2. It sounds to me that your play style might be the problem.
Sincerely, Your father.
I dont have the best internet speed but I still get shoot throu walls
+ I never knew there was a 5 second rule! Know I know why I barely get any kills with the Reaper and AC-130

This is a community draft roadmap towards MeeGo 1.4
Starting to outline the requirements for a potential 1.4 system.
We currently have:
By the time 1.4 comes out, it would be beneficial to have cross UX compatibility so that core applications can be ported between. We have seen Quim Gil taking extra effort to try and ensure Miniature is cross compatible and curing the bugs and observations noted here will be important in this goal.
Carsten has raised the point about a social contract to guide this work.
The easy components are to be those already roadmapped by corporation, Nokia is working towards Qt5 for instance. Pulling this together into a compelling UX front end is going to take much more work. The existing N900-CE uses older MTF based window manager, we should be working towards an open WM to replace this.

Capelle talks Crooked Deluxe, Documentary and World Domination in New Interview
After being introduced to Capelle and their music on Tuesday night, I was doubly blessed with an opportunity for an interview. On Wednesday morning, I had the chance to sit with the band to speak about their latest projects and what the future of Capelle looks like.
Capelle, headed by Nic Capelle, is a mish mash of incredibly gifted musicians chosen for their abilities and talents that can bring Nic's music alive. Although a constant change in the lineup may confuse fans, Nic is doing a hell of a job picking his favorites to bring along on new ventures and projects. This particular lineup of Capelle includes gifted Richard Taylor on bass, passionate Gabe Raham on drums, and brilliant Fotis Vayenas on guitar.
TSR: During your first time in America, you made a documentary. What inspired you to do so and what did you want to convey with the finished product?
Nic: "We have a story that we really want to tell people and a documentary is a great way of exposing a band and not everyone is fortunate to have the ability to do it. There are also a lot of documentaries out there that bands do that are more like sound bytes and video bytes of their tour. We wanted to make a proper documentary that fully delved into the life of this band. Going to America for the first time and being here for 2 and half months felt like the perfect place to do it because its uncharted territory. We don't know what to expect and we captured something quite innocent and extraordinary."

ProFootballTalk.com: Tim Tebow is an option for Cardinals
"They want Kevin Kolb to stick around but I think they have to look elsewhere," Florio said. "I actually heard at one point, that maybe, the Arizona Cardinals would be interested in Tim Tebow, that was last year."
It may have been last year, but Florio thinks Tebow should still remain an option for Bruce Arians and Co.
"We'll see what happens this year, whether he's in the mix," said Florio. "But I'll tell you Tim Tebow is better than any of the guys they have on their roster.
"I know a lot of people out there don't like Tim Tebow as a football player, but you let him do his thing and he could be good enough, better than what the Cardinals have had in recent years at the quarterback position. The quarterback position has been awful."
True, the Cardinals got miserable play from their QBs last season, but it's tough to see Tebow as the answer. His only season in the Big Apple saw him complete 6 of 8 passes for 39 yards, and when the Jets replaced Mark Sanchez at QB they turned to 2011 seventh round pick Greg McElroy.
For his career, Tebow has completed 47.9 percent of his passes for 2,422 yards and 17 touchdowns. He's been intercepted nine times and run for 989 yards and 12 scores.
And while he was recently in Arizona working out, it's quite frankly difficult to see the Cardinals, who are actually looking to find a good quarterback, choosing Tebow.

So wonderful. Did you weld the AN fitting on the valve cover for the catch can?
We are making progress....Enjoy pics from the good camera for once!!
So wonderful. Did you weld the AN fitting on the valve cover for the catch can?
No, the valve cover just threads in with the correct adapter. The stock stuff can just be pulled out of the valve cover without issue. I believe it is an NPT to -10AN but forget details. I am in AN fitting overdrive after almost completing the oil and coolant piping in the engine bay. Way to much to remember, and i honestly finished the valve cover mini-project over a year ago at this point. Amazing how far its come, considering what has actually been completed over that time period. The flex fans were purchased 3+ years ago and put on various shelves throughout the years. This was the first purchase of my turbo build, and it is a great feeling to see it all come together.

So we have finished all AWIC and coolant lines in the car. All hose ends have been made. We completed the AWIC system with a Mezeire pump and 5 gallon reservoir in the trunk plumbed to a -8 braided stainless feed and return. The pump goes straight to the secondary radiator mounted up front, then to the awic core and the return goes from the core back to the 5 gallon reservoir. These two braided ss -8an lines travel through the frame rail under the exhaust and into the trunk via 90 degree AN bulkhead fittings. All braided ss AN lines in the engine bay have a plastic protective cover to keep from ruining electrical wiring, etc. Jiffy-tite quick disconnect fittings can be seen attached to the awic core to help with removal, as all electrical and plumbing run under the core where the battery is located stock. My yellow top optima is mounted in the trunk, with lines running the length of the passenger side frame rail and into the cowl area to driver side power plate. All vacuum lines are -6AN braided black nylon, with one line going directly to the brake booster, and a second line going to a vacuum block mounted to the power plate under awic core.
First start-up and engine break-in is around the corner and should make for one fantastic christmas present!!!
I wanna thank Jay "The Mustache", as well as Pete the Great Greek for their dedication to the cause and keeping our "Man Dates" every Sunday morning.
It has been a hell of a journey, boys, But success is within our grasp. It is almost time to hunt down some very expensive cars and embarrass some unknowing vette owners!!!
Thanks for tuning in and watching this adventure unfold!!

Simply amazing, promise us start up video
I went to a local performance shop that carried XRP AN fittings. Just the two lines out of the heater core including the coolant ball going to the block and t-stat, I was quoted $350! I can't imagine what you spend alone in AN on his build. I'm sure you don't want to know either.
I know you said you did this a while ago, but you remember what adapter you had to use for the IE heater core fittings to AN? and what size? This shop didn't have metric adapters in stock, so I couldn't try those.
Yea...i certainly do not wish to know the total in AN fittings at this point. I used Earl's fittings throughout, as we have had issues with Summit brand hose end fittings not holding up.
For the integrated engineering Billet Heater hose fittings, i contacted the manufacturer for the necessary adaptor. I remember it being an o-ring adapter fitting out to -10AN hose. Same with the SAI block off plate, as one heater hose goes to the backside of the head into the plate. I suggest using Jegs or Summit to source the fittings, as they will be cheaper than the performance shop. Prices for AN fittings and adapters ranged from $20 to $80 depending on size. The Jiffy-tite disconnects were the most expensive part of the conversion.
The interesting part will be to see how many miles i can get out of the tapped t stat housing before i see any leaks. We tapped the t stat plastic housing to accept NPT to AN adapters, and used teflon sealer as well. We are hoping 50+k miles is easily attainable for an almost daily driven car.
Start-up video will certainly follow in the next few weeks. Then we can follow with some highway kill videos.
Thanks for tuning in....
Here are some pics of the mounting for the secondary coolant pump, which runs after shut-down. We plumbed these coolant lines from the turbo to the block, with coolant feeding the turbo from the crackpipe.
More to come this weekend....thanks for tuning in.
everything looks so damn sexy......except fot that power steering resvoir of yours lol but seriously goos stuff man . 2 weeks from now marks the start of my 24v build......kinda scared not gonna lie
..."understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car, and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car"...
This is where she stands. Technically we could hook the battery up and turn the key, but we are taking our time. Currently it is wiring time for some of the electrical additions, such as boost controller, boost gauge, wideband, and meth. Still need to finalize the cooling system and fill 'er up.
Another warm weekend in south jersey and this little puppy is gonna be on the road.

Still need to fab up the exhaust, but progress is always being made.
The oem votex bumper went to the painter today. It fit over the awic radiator with one cut to the back side of the bumper, and we are good to go. If the weather allows, our "front modular assembly" will come off and then go back on for the final time. The hard part will be to pre-load all the largest AN fittings and lines so they remain tight and operational forever and ever. We will be using blue loc-tite on those -16AN black earl's fittings that go from t-stat to radiator.
The exhaust is all 409 stainless steel, 3 inch turbo back, using a flowmaster muffler and a metallic core high-flow cat. The cat and down pipe are v banded and installed already, along with the o2 sensors. I had a buddy tig weld the matching v band on my big 5 foot long straight pipe that will attach to the cat. Everything else we do will be mig'd.
A little electrical and some final tightening, and we may have an actual driving vehicle very soon.
Bumper comes back from the painter tomorrow. Today we made a bracket to allow the shifter to clear our custom turbo inlet pipe, MAF housing and filter. The TIP, housing, and filter is a full 4 inch directly off the compressor housing. My Godzilla diverter valve is recirc'ed back into the TIP post MAF.
The power steering reservoir has been removed for cleaning, but the banjo bolt and line are installed. We also fit my new GruvenParts billet dipstick to the stock funnel and cut out some material to be able to actually access the dipstick with everything on the car. Once all the coolant lines are tight and the front modular assembly is on the car for the last time, we can add coolant and call it a day.
Dooooin work!!!
We finalized the front end this weekend and got a ton done.All coolant lines are connected and tight. Ac and power steering are also done, with fluid in the lines and bled. We also made the team decision to fire off the motor next weekend after priming the system. The fuel pump set-up is now being fitted with new clamps, and a new 044 sock. The tank also had to be drained and cleaned. I am running an in-tank Bosch 044 pump bolted onto the stock bracketry with the help of 034 motorsports hardware and bracket. This positions the 044 in place of the stock swirl pot/pump, yet retains the stock level sensor, cap, collapsable bracket and OEM wiring.
I also bought a billet aluminum sock fitting set-up from Jay Racing to help avoid starvation issues associated with running the in-tank pumps. We had to mod the Jay Racing fitting by cutting the length down in order to fit a sock on the bottom of the big 044 pump when the stock bracket sort of collapses to fit in the tank.
I have stock fuel lines up to the engine bay, where it becomes -6AN braided stainless lines to the R32 fuel rail, powdercoated gold and mod'ed to fit -6AN.

Went to fire the motor today...found that we installed the oil filter canister without o-rings between that and the block. We have great oil pressure though!!
I ordered a set from the local dealer, but they will not be in till Wednesday. So, like all parts of this build-up, we ran into another little delay. I have the o rings off my extra block, that appear to be ok, but we will probably wait for new ones.
My Bosch 044 in-tank fuel pump is installed. We used the 034 Motorsports mounting brackets on the stock sender. All lines are the new Gates submersible stuff that can handle today's fuels even fully submerged. In addition, i am using a sock filter set-up from Jay Racing to help with fuel starvation, but i will not be running this car with any less than 1/4 tank of gas. The good part is Jay racing re-designed the 044 filter and shortened the fitting so that it fits into the MKIV tank perfectly. We are very happy with the in-tank 044 set-up. The fuel tank has also been cleaned and refilled with fresh 93 octane. Tomorrow we prime the fuel system and button up some other parts of the car. I guess next weekend we will try to fire off the motor!!
Well, no more oil leaks!! We have oil pressure and we have fuel pressure at the rail. The powder-coating cooked my schrader valve in the R fuel rail, so that was dealt with yesterday.
New main issue---software!! When i originally purchased my C2 custom tune to match my hardware, Jeff was still with the company. I have also sent this ecu back to C2 at least 3 times for various upgrades and drivability tweaks that have been made for other cars already on the road. I know that i initially had C2 remove the immobilizer, as this was my extra ecu and not the computer that originally came with my swap.
So...fast-forward to yesterday!! No start(spark or fuel) with the immobilizer flashing away on the cluster. We ran and grabbed my stock ecu that does not match any of the new hardware, but of course that did nothing either.
So both ecu's are now in the mail back to C2 to address the immobilizer issue on the loaded ecu, and to see if C2 will copy the tune onto my completely stock ecu as well. This will allow me to save and email logs to the tuner, allowing changes in my software, while still being able to drive the car in the mean time!!
C2 could even choose to keep the immobilizer intact on my stock ecu, as it matches the engine, cluster, and key.
So here is too next weekend. C2 should receive both computers by Wednesday, and i am hoping for a quick return.
Funny part is the initial swap from 2.0 to 2.8l never gave any immobilizer issues after we figured out the chip in the car key had to match. This turbo build is fighting me all the way!!
Anyone else have issues with the lovely VW immobilizer?? Post up similar stories!!!
Looking great! I will be doing a immo3 gli cluster swap, not looking forward to that mess!
What kind of stainless fuel lines are you running? I plan on doing SS lines from the rear (maybe hardlines as far forward as possible) to the front but I do not want fuel vapor leak and deterioration. I've been reading black teflon is the way to go but you have to use stainless fittings to ground it and so forth.
Stock fuel lines from the tank through the passenger side frame rail and up into the bay. From there i used an adapter to the -6AN braided stainless steel and Earl's fittings to the adjustable FPR and from there, all the way to the R32 fuel rail. It is visible in the pictures, as it is powder-coated gold like my brake calipers and sway bars. The R32 fuel rail was modified with -6AN fittings welded directly to each end.

All piping is 3 inch 409 stainless steel, with ss v bands, and hangers. Welding with ss mig wire on a millermatic and Argon/Co2 mix. Start-up next weekend when the ecu's return from C2.
do work! it's coming along well....
reading through I saw that you had some issues with summit fittings? what specifically, they would just back out or somethin? I have mostly aeroquip / russel but my fuel lines are summit.... and now I'm a bit nervous. They've been on the car with no problems for about 6 months now.... just wondering what happened with yours.
The summit lines themselves i have had no issues. It is the fittings that are not as reliable as the other name brands. We experienced alot of leaks and short life span on a recent high hp 1.8t build--oil lines leaking and needing rebuilding within 3 months of start-up. They just didnt hold up...forget re-using them!!
No failures so far with the Earl's fittings, but we are going to keep an eye on the t-stat housing, where we tapped and fit NPT to AN adapters. I will let you know how these lines fair.
I am awaiting my ECU from C2, and then we can break her in.
Thanks for tuning in!! More to come very soon.
Bad crankshaft position sensor.....positives are both computers communicated with the vehicle and diagnostically without an issue. Two codes immediately popped--we also had no rpms while cranking. Codes were for MAF(unplugged) and for no crank speed reading--so after chasing down a brand new impulse sensor and fighting the urge to use the second used sensor attached to the extra block, we now wait for back-up, and move forward!!
Problem solved....first start-up coming in the next two hours!!

I had the same problem
Bags are for groceries.... I My Dub, So does your girl.
---iPhone repair in Waco---
make sure to get a first start uo video... those are always my favorite whenever i get a motor running for the first time in my cars. best reactions ever.
She runs and idles under her own power...not for long--no coolant and brand new machine surfaces...
Two bad coils and a backwards MAF
But all is well now!!
Little update.....Car runs and drives like a champ. Have had our fair share of issues to handle. Alternator died, along with a bunch of other OEM electronics, and we also helicoiled the entire intake side of my R32 head. We found a ripped o-ring and some threads being pulled out.
Life is pretty good right now...running off the wastegate spring at 11 pounds. Car is having the bugs ironed out and will be aligned by the end of the week.
Still have some things to take care of and some sensors to replace. Currently waiting on the Bluewater/034 billet fuel rail to replace my OEM modified R32 fuel rail that has a pinhole leak where the -6AN fitting was welded on. No fuel lines will need to be remade or replaced.
I need some info and advice from people as far as my software goes, as far as passing emissions and inspection in New Jersey. The car DOES NOT have a check engine light on. The only code stored was a "Timing retarded" code after the car sat for a week and had little oil pressure at start-up. That code has not returned. My issue is with the State of New Jersey OBD2 readiness states. My ecu is showing 3 readiness, Misfire, Fuel, and CCM. According to the inspection tech, NJ has 5 readiness states requried, and by our estimation, we are missing readiness monitors for Evap, O2(w/ heater for O2), and SAI. My SAI system is physically deleted, but I do have a resistor in place on the harness. I also paid C2 to remove SAI in the software, but I did not know this removed the readiness monitor also.(I have a MK3 VR with C2 race software that writes out SAI but shows SAI readiness monitor as a forced pass).
I am going back and forth with C2 as we speak, but wanted to hear from the community. I also wanted to reach out to Jeff(Jeffnes or something similar) who works with United Motorsports, as i may need more than just tweaked bench chip tunes at this point. Anyone have his S/N or personal contact info? PM me please.
Also, the caris doing something weird as it comes down from highway speed, as you depress the clutch, it will stall out. Thanks to my boost controler, Apexi AVC-R, we can see the throttle close, showing 0%, yet the ecu seems not to be able to recover the idle from that point. This may be due to the very lightened rotating assembly and the ecu's inability to catch idle as the knife-edged crank just keeps spinning.
Anyone see or hear this before?
C2 custom software based off the R32 Turbo tunes they have out there on 550cc injectors.

When Logan Parker chose to study cystic fibrosis for a class science project, he knew very little about the disease.
Through his studies, the eighth-grader learned about the genetic disorder that primarily affects the lungs. The disease causes thick, bacteria-laden mucus to form and makes breathing incredibly difficult.
Parker learned even more about cystic fibrosis when a beloved Oldham County Middle School science teacher succumbed to the disease last month.

Schlicher gets Kilmer's senate seat
By KEVAN MOORE
Central Kitsap Reporter Staff Writer
January 24, 2013 · Updated 10:54 AM
Gig Harbor emergency room doctor Nathan Schlicher was chosen this past Thursday to succeed Derek Kilmer in the State Senate.
Kitsap and Pierce county commissioners voted 9-1 to offer the job to Schlicher who had previously been tapped by the 26th Legislative District Democratic precinct committee officers Dec. 27.
Kilmer, also a Gig Harbor Democrat, resigned his seat to make a successful run for Congress in the 6th District to replace Norm Dicks following Dicks' retirement.
The bipartisan support from across the councils was humbling," Schlicher wrote in an announcement to supporters. "I look forward to working to represent all of the members of the district from all parties and perspectives to the best of my ability."
Schlicher will serve in the Senate until November when there will be an election to determine who holds it for the final year of the term to which Kilmer was elected in 2010. Port Orchard Republican Jan Angel has already said she will run for the seat and Schlicher has wasted no time in starting to campaign.
"While I look forward with excitement to the session, I also recognize a difficult campaign lies ahead in November," he wrote. "As a result, we are using every moment prior to the freeze to fundraise and establish our campaign process."
Schlicher has asked supporters to donate, spread the word and "be ready to hit the ground running after the (legislative) session."

It was a rough all-around night for the Tigers, who committed five errors and gave up seven unearned runs.
At the plate, the Tigers struck out nine times, four times looking.
The Tigers fell to 3-4, and head coach Craig Garner said they're a team looking for answers at the moment.
"It is what it is. We're not a very good baseball team right now," Garner said. "It's more a matter of confidence than anything."
Jarred Adams had a pair of doubles for the Tigers, and Justin Neighbors also had two hits.
Brandon Butts, Jonathan Foster, C.J. Tatum and Dalton Hadley each had one hit.
Troup will look to get back on track when it hosts Harris County on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in a makeup game.
Also on Thursday, the Callaway Cavaliers lost to unbeaten East Coweta 6-3.
The Cavaliers fell to 5-3 heading into today's Region 4-AAA opener Douglass.
The game begins at 5:30 p.m. in Atlanta.

Yuyan Archers
Comments52this wiki
"Their precision is legendary. The Yuyan can pin a fly to a tree from a hundred yards away without killing it." |
Yuyan Archers | |||
General information | |||
Chronological information | |||
Contents |
History Edit
In the winter of 100 ASC, Commander Zhao approached Colonel Shinu, seeking to use the Yuyan Archers to help him capture the Avatar. After being turned down, a messenger hawk came to Zhao, carrying a letter informing him that the had been promoted, and was now an Admiral. This put him above Shinu, thus allowing him to take control of the archers and employ them in his hunt for Aang. When the archers discovered the Avatar, Aang's extreme agility was matched by their expert aim. Outnumbered and simultaneously trying to collect frozen wood frogs in order to cure Katara and Sokka of fever, Aang could not resist the group and was consequently captured. One archer was later instructed to incapacitate the Blue Spirit.[1]
Trivia Edit
- One Yuyan Archer, Vachir, was a member of the Rough Rhinos.[3][4]
- Their uniforms, especially the short jackets and poofy pants, resemble Zouave uniforms from the American Civil War, which in turn were inspired by 19th century French Zouave uniforms which also were widely imitated by forces of other nations in the 19th century.
- The small triangle that is present on Yuyan head bands, and also on Lo and Li's hair bands, is the alchemical symbol for fire.

Let's look at happiness from another perspective, that of the spirit. The spirit has been named many aliases. Some will call it God. Some will name it the Universe. My preferred term is The All There Is. I break that down in the word "Tathis."
Whatever moniker is given it, Tathis is the spirit underlying the entire existence of everything. We can speak of it in these kinds of terms because it appears to be conscious. Indeed, it appears to be Consciousness itself.
The rest of the text for this post follows right after this video pane:
It is when you find yourself in this Consciousness, find yourself present in the Consciousness, that you are happy. This is not happiness as is often defined as worldly substances and events. This is not the joy of achievement or the triumph of having reached your goal. These are worthy steps along the path of your life, to be sure. I do not minimize them in any way.
But they are not the happiness of which I speak today. They are important but temporary and will pass away. Their time comes and their time ceases to be. The happiness of which I speak is timeless and never dies. So long as the Universe exists, the Spirit exists, this happiness will persist and thrive.
The basis of this happiness is total acceptance. The Spirit accepts you as you are right this minute. There are no conditions on that acceptance. There are no hoops to jump through now or ever. What you are, who you are in this moment is accepted. Period.
This is the eternal basis for your happiness. You cannot earn it. You need not earn it. It is a given. The Spirit that pervades and holds in consciousness the Universe all around you and in you, accepts you.
Beyond accepting you, Tathis also promotes you. The Universe advocates for you. Like someone putting in a good word for you as you go to apply for a new job. Or a friend recommending a friend. So does the Spirit seek the best it can for you. It actually sets events, things and people in your path that you come across them and use them to your benefit.
So, being present in the Spirit is happiness. How does one become present in the Spirit?
There is no other way than to develop and maintain a relationship with the Consciousness that holds the Universe. Do not let this thought daunt you, however. Developing this kind of relationship is very simple. It does take discipline and time, but that is all. You can grow this relationship without spending any money nor making any vows.
You do not need to sacrifice anything. You do not put yourself in frightening or dangerous situations. You do not adhere to a particular guru to the exclusion of all others. In other words, you do not become an intellectual slave of anyone.
Through some form of meditation or mindfulness or awareness you place yourself in the presence of the Spirit. I am deliberately being ambiguous here. You choose what form of adherence you will use to place yourself in the Presence. That form may change or evolve over time, as well.
As you get closer and closer to the Spirit, find yourself dwelling more and more fully in its Presence, your happiness will blossom and remain vigorous. Remember happiness here is defined as perfect acceptance of you by the Spirit. The acceptance is a given. All you need do is find it for yourself. Get to it.

Forum » NSCA Performance Center » Could Coca Tea Enhance Athletic Performance??
In my spanish class, my professor mentioned that indigenous population is Latin America use Coca Tea when going from sea level to the top of Machu Picchu (7972 ft) because it reduces altitude sickness.
As an personal trainer, i saw this as a potential opportunity to increase athletic performance or to remove Denver's altitude advantage (5690 ft).
Coca tea is the plant used to make cocaine. Coca tea is illegal in the United States unless it has been decocainize.
My question is, are the physiological benefits of Coca tea a result of the cocaine or are they the results of some other or combination of phytonutrients? If the physiological benefits are a result of phytonutrients then it could be used in sports drinks to increase oxygen uptake and delivery.


text: Velicity Von (AKA Mrs. Von, Velicity, Felicity Von, Velecity Von) is a voluptuous vixen. End of story. Big tits, strong bod and a raw hunger for a big dick shoved between those juicy ass cheeks and if you want to make it with her, you had better be prepared. She has appeared in over 100 fuck flicks with the likes of Tory Lane, Kinzie Kenner and Tiffany Mynx. This mega-skank swings both ways, does both ends, and from the look of things, has a filthier mouth than a sailor. Add to this a pair of tits just begging to be oiled and fucked, which this BBW is happy to oblige, and you have got a hard-working 24-hour sex-cyborg. It's clear her strongest asset is her beautiful full-bodied sumptuous ass. Make no mistake, this is a certified grade A booty that when oiled, has been known to hypnotize even the most impotent of men. Watch Miss Von in action taking messy facials, sloppy blowjobs and getting her ass split like Moses parting the Red Sea at Keez Movies.

1. | perfect stranger | ||
When you get so good at giving yourself a stranger that you actually believe someone else is performing on you, you have given yourself a perfect stranger. Performance enhancers like nail polish, promise rings, and charm bracelets are acceptable. I saw John in line at the store today buying pink nail polish. I bet he's trying for a perfect stranger.
2. | perfect stranger | ||
A person who you have never met or seen before in your entire life, a person who you have never known before and who has never known you before, and is not, and never was in any way, related to you. The person I met at the mall today was a perfect stranger.
3. | Perfect Stranger | ||
Similar to the stranger, the perfect stranger is when both dick and hand are numb. Then you dont know what is going on until all of a sudden u get sticky. After a long hard bike ride sitting on my hand, i achieved the "perfect stranger".
4. | Perfect Stranger | ||
Using various numbing agents to achieve a numbing affect on your hand i.e lidocaine, novicane etc. and then performing the stranger
PLEASE CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFOR ATTEMPTING I numbed my hand with novicaine and gave myself a perfect stranger
5. | perfect stranger | ||
Someone who is an expert in giving themselves The Stranger; A method where you sit on your hand until it goes numb and then masturbate giving the allusion that it is someone else's hand. This is only performed by the most skilled who have perfected The Stranger, usually a lonely prick who beats off a lot. When using your left its a Cousin Larry and when using your right its a Balki Pat & Peter said they were so lonely last night that they gave themselves a couple of Perfect Strangers. Pat said he was Balki and Peter I guess was Cousin Larry
6. | perfect stranger | ||
n. when somebody else sits on their hand, causing it to fall asleep, and proceeds to give another person a hand job.
see stranger After the car ride with seven other people, we went and side and she gave me a perfect stranger.

Teen's Suicide Moves Southern High to Create Portrait
After learning about a 15-year-old's tragic story of bullying and suicide, the Southern High community created a powerful painting to honor the teen's memory.
In October, a 15-year-old teenager from Vancouver, British Columbia, took her own life after she said the bullying at her high school became too much to bear. The victim, Amanda Todd, posted a YouTube video entitled "My Story: struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm," communicating the internal pain she felt approximately a month before her death. In the weeks that followed, people across the globe rallied around Amanda and her family, offering support and words of comfort. After learning of Amanda's tragic story a few weeks ago, Southern High's Art Department Chairman Mike Bell said he was deeply affected by the news. "I came in to work the next morning, I came in really early, and I just started to paint," Bell said. "I stretched the …

This is an amazing story of a good deed. Bell should be proud that he involved his students to show them the importance behind bullying and the devastation it can bring. Southern High be proud of this !   more ›

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has declared a state of emergency for Connecticut after the massive storm that blanketed the state with several feet of snow.
The order means federal money will be used to help state and local response efforts. The White House announced the declaration Sunday.
Obama authorized the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide equipment and resources needed to help storm recovery.
The storm dumped at as much as 3 feet of snow on Connecticut, paralyzing much of the state. All roads in the state were closed, and even emergency responders got stuck on highways. The National Guard was brought in to help clear snow in New Haven, which got 34 inches.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy says five deaths apparently were weather related.
Have you ever spotted any celebrities around the region? Tell us who, where and when via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Include photos if possible.
Finally, there is sunlight at the end of the snow tunnel. How will you spend your snowbound Saturday?

Dear Editor:
Since the network media have piled 'up words w/o knowledge,' like the 'miserable comforters' of Job from the Bible, I decided to seek for some truths out of the only source of wisdom, God's Word in reference to the massacre of 20 children in Newtown, CT. I realize, all too well, that it could be a school near me that is targeted next, and it could be my granddaughter's school.
One of my first thoughts was that God told us 'My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor my ways are not yours. My ways are higher than yours. Yet, we think that we know more than Him.
Secondly, when satan and one-third of his angels (demons) rebelled against God, they were cast down to this earth to 'go to and from seeking whom they may devour.' Adam Lanza was a welcoming dwelling place; he's the killer of the Sandyhook students. But, he isn't the only one who allows the devil to abide in them.
Thirdly, God said, 'you have cast my laws behind you back.' We only want Him at christenings, baptisms, weddings, funerals and disasters. And, He allows us that freedom. We continue to 'play church' if we 'play' at all. Our mouths acknowledge Him, but our hearts are where? 'Far from Me,' He said. He lets us have our way, but Jesus said, 'I am the way, the truth and the life.'
Last of all, and there are many more scriptures that apply to horrific crimes like Newtown. We give God, maybe two hours a week and a day of prayer in May. In II Chronicles 7:14, the National Day of Prayer verse, it says 'If my people who are called by my name' (are we?), 'would humble themselves' (can you see that happening?), 'and pray,' and 'seek my face' (we have turned our backs on Him, and vice versa), 'and turn from their wicked ways' (I'd love to see that!), 'then, would I hear from heaven, forgive their sins (we don't even know the definition of 'sin'), and heal their land.' This land is soaked w/ the blood of over 50 million fetuses and ready to vomit us up. His creation is groaning to be delivered from the mess we've made since The Garden. If you think these words are harsh, you need to read what God has done and will do if we do not repent and follow Him. He is loving, merciful, full of grace, but He is a God that eventually requires justice for wrongdoing.
