Happy Birthday Theodor Seuss Geisel, as the author more famously known as Dr. Seuss would have been 108 years old today. This occasion is marked by today being NEA's Read Across America Day, which seems a pretty worthy cause.

The decision by high-profile fund manager Bill Miller to step down from the Legg Mason Value Trust fund he ran for 30 years highlights a challenge for investors: What to do when a fund's manager steps aside?
Miller made his name beating the S&P 500 index for 15 consecutive years ending in 2005, only to see his triumphs decimated by his big bet on banks in 2008. For the investors who stuck with the fund as it shrunk from $20 billion in 2005 to $2.8 billion, there's no easy answer as to what to do next, analysts say. But those confident Miller was on the path to a comeback can take some solace in knowing the successor he trained, Sam Peters, plans to follow the same investing strategy. That may keep fans of Miller's approach who were waiting for a comeback in the fund, says Bridget Hughes, a fund analyst for Morningstar. Peters, who has worked under Miller's wing since he started at the company in 2005, will have co-managed the fund for 18 months by the time takes over in April, minimizing the chance of any surprise changes in management style, she says.
While it's impossible to know how a new fund manager will fare, analysts say there are certain signs investors can look for. Here are the three main questions advisers say any investor should ask before deciding whether or not to stick with a fund following a change in management.
How abrupt is the change? In the case of the Legg Mason fund, the transition should be smooth because Miller and Peters have been co-managing the fund for roughly a year, says Hughes. Investors who like Miller's style can rest easy knowing he's trained his successor, she adds. But if a manager is suddenly ousted or falls ill, that creates more uncertainty about the direction of the fund, says James Holtzman, an adviser in Pittsburgh with Legend Financial Advisors.
What is the new manager's record? Investors should also look to the track record of other mutual funds the manager runs, or has run in the past, says Hughes. Peters, for example, has been managing the Legg Mason Special Investment Trust with a strategy similar to the Capital Management Value fund– both have a high concentration in certain sectors and a "contrarian style," says Hughes. But past approaches won't provide a clear sense of how the manager will invest in his new position, says Todd Rosenbluth, a mutual fund analyst with S&P Capital IQ.
Is the fund's mandate changing? Sometimes when mutual funds get new managers, they also shift investment strategies. Investors should stay on the lookout for emails or letters alerting them to any changes to the fund's mandate or prospectus, says Holtzman. He also suggests watching the performance of the fund for signs of a shift in approach. The performance of the Legg Mason Value trust fund hasn't changed much since Peters joined the team, says Hughes, and the two managers have taken steps that could reduce the fund's volatility, such as reducing the stakes of single stocks in the portfolio and branching out to other sectors. "We are sort of in this experimental phase," says Hughes.

The MMS Maintenance Dose
Many people do not understand the importance of taking maintenance doses of MMS every day or at least twice a week.
Most people interested in detoxifying the body realize by now that new diseases have come on the scene in the past 50 years and they are not natural diseases. Nature hasn't invented any new diseases, they have all been invented by man. I'm talking about HIV/AIDS, lyme disease, morgellons disease, hepatitis C, and a whole host of other diseases that the human race is now facing. Millions upon millions of people are suffering and dying from diseases created by man. Some of these diseases are transmitted by personal contact or sex, but others are spread by mechanisms that are not yet understood. Especially lyme disease and morgellons diseases are transmitted by unknown means.
Yes, ticks are one source of the lyme disease, but I have talked to many who have lyme disease who never got near a tick. And there are thousands who have "Morgellons" disease who have no idea where it came from. And guess what. Medical doctors can't tell you where cancer comes from. Oh, they have a lot of ideas that you cannot catch cancer, but all the guys who said that cancer was cause by a microorganism have been either killed or persecuted until they were dead or imprisoned. Then there is the flu. Every year thousands of older people and young people die from the flu. So, the point being that a tremendous amount of diseases are out there where you are, and everyone is at risk.
MMS maintenance doses and can reduce your risk by a very large amount, maybe as much as 95%.
MMS supercharges your immune system by providing a chemical that the immune systems needs to kill various pathogens. My suggestion is that anyone should first do the Protocol 1000 for detoxification of the body as there is no better method of detoxification. MMS kills the pathogens, oxidizes the heavy metals thus eliminating them from your body and destroys most of the poisons in your body. It is a different process than trying to wash all of the poisons from your body with various liquids and nutrients.
Many of those detoxification process are very effective, it's just that MMS is more effective. MMS destroys the poisons and heavy metal compounds as opposed to washing them out or chelating them.It's very simple, after the Protocol 1000 is complete (21 days or a little less) just begin taking 6 drops of MMS every day. That should reduce the severity of any flu or cold by about 10 times and totall prevent cancer and many other life threatening diseases. Flu and colds can happen as psychosomatic occurances and they may last a few days regardless of the preventitive you may be taking.
When these occure always start on the Protocol 1000 as the psychosomatic flu can make you a hundred times more open to the real flu germs setting in. Keep up of Protocol 1000 until all symptoms are gone.So a maintenance dose for any person over 60 should be about 6 drops a day, either in the morning or in the evening. Remember, no coffee, chocolate, carbonated drinks, orange juice, or any kind of juice with added vitamin C or ascorbic acid in it within a full hour of taking you maintenance dose.A maintenance dose for a younger person can be twice a week of 4 to 6 drops.
This should keep you immune system working at top efficiency.

Da08104 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 818 diseños de 152 diseñadores freelance.
We make shoes at middle-price level, classical and casual. With the new logo we seek a way to express the quality and the trendy fashion of our styles.
Men in their 30s-50s, looking for the good brand and the quality they could rely on, sometimes watching for the fashion trends, though always practical as the men are. Unlike teenagers, they like to see something classical, European-style in both the shoes and the logo, rather than anything too flashy or colorful. They like the product to be cheap enough while looking upscale. A good logo can do this for us.
The major purpose for the logo is to be used on a shoe and on a shoe box. For the latter option we can to use anything - full color, fine print, shades etc. For a shoe, we are often restricted by the technology we have to use. The logo must look good even when being pressed on a plastic sole, in one color only. Be afraid of too thin lines - these are often hard to stamp over a real leather with its rough surface. For a tiny object such as a zipper's lock or a textile label the resolution cannot be high, but we can use the colors.
That is why we have been using three "levels" of the logo design: its' complicated, regular and simplified shape for various implementation. See the pictures attached.
It is not necessary for your concept to be provided in the three options - I believe one good concept can be used for all the purposes. But keep this in mind, it may help you to create what I need.
As a matter of fact, men like black color. Respect their choice but please understand the shoe itself is often black, so select a good contrast color for a black background. Red is not good, because it is already occupied by many other brands.
You may put an accent on one detail and make it a distinctive sign of the logo. "R" obviously seems as the first choice, but I would suggest to think about dot over i instead, or last letter Z.
We use cartoon-style AD, the logo must match it.

pizat needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 110 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
I have an existing logo, that needs to be tweaked for an audio guide I'm creating, that will be seen when people play the audio file on their ipods - kind of like an album cover.
Hi, my name is Pat, and I am the founder of http://www.intheleed.com. It's a website that helps architect's and other professionals in the design and building industry pass the LEED test, which is a test about sustainability.
I have an existing logo, which can be seen here:
Yes, i know it's nothing fancy, but it works.
I'm creating an audio guide that needs to have an "album cover" type of logo, that will be shown on ipods while being played.
I need my existing logo to be recreated with something that would be appropriate for an audio guide, such as headphones around the logo, or a microphone somewhere in there...something that has to do with an audio book type of thing. Furthermore, if you feel my logo needs to be tweaked a little as well, go right ahead, im not THAT particular about keeping my old logo for this project.
This should be really easy to do, and I'm not looking for anything fancy or flourish, just a basic, clean graphic.
Please see the "What I Want" area for more specifications. Thanks and I look forward to your designs.
p.s. Unfortunately I do not have a PSD file of the existing logo. This will have to be recreated by you, but it's really very simple. Thanks.
- A 300 by 300 pixel graphic (this is the optimal size for itunes), of the logo as described below:
- My existing logo (just the circle with the leaf and the intheleed) should try to be incorporated. However, if you feel you have another type of logo in mind, or would rather not use my logo, feel free to design your own. I'd love to see what you come up with.
- Some type of graphic that denotes it's an audio book or audio guide (i.e. headphones, microphone, etc.)
- The text: "The LEED AP Walkthrough Audio Guide", and "by Pat Flynn, LEED AP" should be incorporated as well.
- The colors should be the same as in my logo, although the background color can be played around with. I'm thinking a shade of blue, with the above text being white.
- Clean style, web 2.0ish if possible. Reflective quality would be appreciated.
- Anything too fancy and outrageous. Again, this should be very simple and clean looking.

Broker Sentenced in Toms River School Bribe Scheme
An insurance broker who admitted his role in a bribery scheme involving New Jersey's fourth-largest school district has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison.
Francis X Gartland had pleaded guilty in April to mail fraud, conspiracy and perjury.
He admitted paying Toms River Regional Superintendent Michael Ritacco between $1 million and $2 million from 2002 to 2010 as part of a scheme to keep his contract as the district's insurance broker.
Ritacco also pleaded guilty in April and received a similar sentence to Gartland's in September.
A federal judge in Trenton on Friday sentenced Gartland to 135 months in prison. He'll also have to pay restitution in an amount to be determined at a hearing next month.

District of Columbia Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Programs (On-Campus)
Interested in finding a university with a Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Program? Attending class on campus offers you the opportunity to get hands-on learning in actuarial science, financial engineering, advanced mathematics, statistics and data analysis. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, candidates with a master's or PhD in Mathematics Statistics and Data Analysis should see a much more favorable job outlook than those with an undergraduate degree[i]. If you would enjoy using advanced computer programming and applied mathematics to solving real-world problems in medicine, pharmacology, finance and engineering amongst other sectors, a Graduate Degree in Mathematics and Statistics is worth considering.
Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Campus Programs: Basics
Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Campus programs are designed for students who may be seeking careers in research and development, academia or as applied mathematicians and statisticians. In fact, most statisticians have degrees in mathematics, economics, computer science, or another quantitative field.[ii] Graduate programs generally promote a higher level of competence and understanding in math-related subjects as well as offer students the opportunity to refine and leverage their strengths in a given area.
Types of Graduate Mathematics & Statistics Campus Programs
Students can choose from certificates, Master's and Doctorate degrees within the broad field of Math and Statistics. Mathematics is a vital component to a variety of fields. With the expansion of the digital age and technology, math is used in the natural sciences, engineering, healthcare, and business. Applied mathematics has given rise to a host of new mathematical disciplines, such as Game Theory, and Statistics[iii] and quantitative analyst roles such as market research analysts, and data scientists
DID YOU KNOW? 48% of Senior Statisticians hold a master's degree, 20% a doctoral degree, 28% a bachelor's degree.(O'Net)[v]
Which Math and Statistics Graduate Program is Right for you?
The 3 main categories of Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Programs are:
- Actuarial Science and Financial Engineering
- Mathematics
- Statistics and Data Analytics
Finding a Graduate Mathematics and Statistics degree might depend on your background. For instance, if you have done extensive coursework in engineering or physical science, it might be useful if you hope to work in manufacturing on quality or productivity improvement. On the other hand, if your background is in biology, chemistry, or health sciences is might be useful for work testing pharmaceutical or agricultural products. If you have a business background might that financial mathematics, business analytics or risk management might be more in alignment with your ambitions. Those who enjoy computer science might gravitate to a degree in cyber systems.
Potential Features of Campus-Based Math and Statistics Graduate Programs
If you thrive in a social learning atmosphere where you get face-to-face time with your classmates and professors, an on-campus degree may work really well for you. While it is true that learning takes place through study and reading textbooks, one can also learn through lively discussion, asking questions in real-time and watching demonstrations. All of these elements are likely part of a traditional college campus experience.
In addition to participation and interaction, students attending class at graduate school have access to student lounges, the libraries, computer laboratories and other on-site facilities. This can be really convenient. And, graduate schools do cater to the working professionals by offering class times during the evenings or on weekends. Naturally you have to check this out with the graduate schools on your list, but it is certainly a possibility.
Your Search Made Simple
If you are searching for a university or college with a Graduate Mathematics and Statistics Program, GradSchools.com helps to simplify the process. Often, one of the most important factor is the location. With this in mind, use the city, state or country tabs to browse programs by area of preference. If you don't mind where you go, you can simply search by the subject and then compare programs across different grad schools. The green 'request info' and the orange 'visit school site' tabs are great for getting as much information about the Mathematics Statistics grad programs as possible. Curriculums vary, but maybe useful as you narrow down some possibilities. Some of the listings you might encounter could include Research Methodology PhD, Graduate Certificate in Data Visualization and Analysis, Master of Science in Mathematics, PhD Mathematics, and MS in Data Mining and Predictive Analytics/Computer Science amongst other options.
Accreditation for Graduate Schools
Understand that there is a difference between institutional accreditation and program accreditation. Higher learning institutions are accredited by regional and national agencies. Program accreditation depends on the subject. With respect to programs in applied science, computing, engineering and engineering technology, ABET is considered an accrediting body recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation.[vi] According to ABET, graduation from an ABET-accredited program is increasingly a required minimum credential for professional recognition. If you plan to sit for the Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases or are interested in pursuing licensure, registration, and certifications for a career where you will have to pass exams dependent on graduation from an accredited program, it is something to look for in your grad school or grad program.
Take the Next Step
If you are interested in complex math equations and applying different numerical equations and probability to a variety of workplace settings that might include computer technology, engineering, science and healthcare, a Graduate Mathematics and Statistics degree may be a great fit. If you enjoy interactions, or hope to fine-tune your communication and interpersonal skills to help you in a potential management role, a campus-based program may be your best bet for continued success.

Hear Snippet of the Wanted on British Rapper Dappy's 'Bring It Home'
The Wanted are gearing up to release a new record, but they still have time to contribute to other artists' work, too. The boy band guested on British rapper Dappy's track 'Bring It Home.'
In a teaser for the rapper's upcoming album, 'Bad Intentions,' we're treated to a hook by the Brit hotties at about 8:29 in. The song sounds a lot like something we'd hear on one of their own records. The boys sing, "In the light / There's nowhere else to hide / Tell me what you're waiting for / What you living for / We're bringing it home / Nowhere left to hide / 'Cause we are, we are, we are the only ones who can bring it home." It's extremely catchy, and if you're not big on the falsetto-fied 'I Found You,' this may be more your speed.
The Wanted are working with LMFAO on their own upcoming album, and they couldn't be more excited about it. "Real, real, cool guys, and their production on tracks is just insane," Nathan Sykes said of the on-hiatus duo. "They've just been off to Brazil and they came back with all these new fresh sounds; it was cool working with them. I'm not sure if the sounds are a bit too wild to go on this album, but it was a great experience."
As for when we can expect their own album to come out, we may have to wait a while. Tom Parker said, "Everyone's talking about like November-ish, but then we were like, 'If the album's not ready for November, then we're going to do it in, like, the first quarter of the New Year."
Based on what we've heard so far, we can't wait. Get cracking, boys!
Listen to Dappy Feat. the Wanted, 'Bring It Home'

History truly comes to life when one hears about an event from someone who experienced it. This is especially true for the Holocaust: to hear a survivor's testimony is an incredible cognitive and emotional moment in learning the history of the Holocaust.
Many visitors to Holocaust Museum Houston ask about hearing a survivor speak. Our survivors no longer do individual interviews and, as the survivors age, they often face difficult health issues and are less able to travel. However, Holocaust Museum Houston has rich resources that enable people to experience survivor testimony.
When Holocaust Museum Houston was in its founding stages work was undertaken to record the testimony of survivors who settled in Houston so that their experiences could be transmitted to our audience. Many survivors wanted to bear witness and were influenced by the biblical scripture from Joel 1:3, "Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation." Our archive of videotaped testimony is gaining in its importance each year. There are a few ways a visitor or educator can access these testimonies and learn from a person who directly faced the Holocaust.
"Voices" and "Voices II"In the 105-seat Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater, located at the end of the Museum's main exhibit, visitors can watch one of two 30-minute videos, "Voices" or "Voices II." These videos rotate during the week and are on continuous play during operating hours. Both videos are of Holocaust testimonies related by Houston-area survivors. Viewing "Voices" or "Voices II" is how most visitors are able to access survivor testimony.
"Where Is My Family?"Many educators and visitors who have toured the Museum have asked to use the survivor testimony that is exhibited in the facility. To accommodate those requests, the Museum offers the film "Where is My Family?" on DVD and VHS tape so that visitors and educators can take the testimonies of survivors back into their classrooms, especially for those not able to visit the Museum.
To accompany the film, a curriculum guide has been created to offer educators the ability to integrate first-person accounts of the Holocaust into their existing units of study. For those creating a new unit of study, this piece can serve as a template to structure a unit of study of the Holocaust. Each of Holocaust Museum Houston's curriculum trunks carry a copy of the film "Where is My Family?" and its curriculum guide.
By listening to the experiences in "Where is My Family?," viewers can better understandall that was lost in the years of the Holocaust and learn the importance of what can be gained through bearing witness. Visit our online Store to purchase thise title online.
"Testimonies from the Holocaust"Condensed versions of segments of more than 30 of our survivors' videotaped testimonies are available on our Web site. Click here to access these one-minute to 45-five-minute video clips.
Longer version of the testimonials may be viewed by appointment at the Laurie and Milton R. Boniuk Resource Center and Library at Holocaust Museum Houston. Paper transcripts also are available for review by authorized researchers on request. For more information, contact the Museum archivist at email@example.com or call 713-942-8000, ext. 110.
The Laurie and Milton Boniuk Resource Center and LibraryWithin the collections of the library, there are many published diaries and memoirs of survivors and liberators.

The answer is YES. You can use the word "major".
Major ( as a noun) can mean subject.
Major (as a verb) can mean "to study sth as your main major at college or university"
I majored in English .... (not I major in English ..., you can also say I want to major in English ...)

E46 ZF Automatic Transmission ATF Fluid & Filter Change DIY
Another weekend, another maintenance adventure. Had this Friday off and I decided to tackle some projects on the E46 2001 BMW 330i. Did an engine oil and engine oil filter change, engine air filter change, cabin air filter change, and fuel filter change, but the main event of the day was automatic transmission maintenance. I did a lot of homework before I felt comfortable tackling this service, but Ill save you the trouble and just give you the good stuff.
To give an overview of the transmission service, youre doing three things:
A little background:
Prior to 1994-1995, BMW recommended transmission maintenance on both automatic and manual transmissions every 60,000 miles. This involved changing the MTF or ATF; and on the automatic: dropping the pan, changing the internal filter and cleaning the magnets inside the transmission that collect metal debris. In 1994-1995, BMW started offering free maintenance to keep up with the Benzs (and Luxus, Infinitis and Acuras), and at the same time stopped recommending the 60,000 mile transmission service on all but the M cars. Coincidence? I think not. BMW began to refer to the transmission fluid as lifetime fill. Recently, BMW re-introduced optional transmission maintenance at 100,000 miles, which I take as them backing off from their position on lifetime fluids.
I understand two causes of slippage and failure in automatic transmissions. The first is accelerated wear of clutch mating surfaces caused by metal particles suspended in the fluid. The second is the fluid itself wearing out and transmitting hydraulic forces less effectively. Over time, shear forces on the fluids long-chain hydrocarbons break into shorter molecules that transmit shear forces less effectively. As a result of this cracking, worn out ATF contributes to slippage. Put together a murky, silted mix of metal particles and worn out ATF and its only a matter of time until you end up with a slipping or non-functional transmission.
Manuals are a little simpler, but suffer the same fate. Metal in the fluid will grind away at the gears, introducing slop. The synchros use fluid viscosity just like an automatic transmission to spin up the gears to matching speeds. Broken down fluids wont work as effectively at spinning up gears and as a result, you wont able to shift as quickly or smoothly.
Bottom line, if you plan on keeping your car longer than 100,000 miles, then it makes sense to maintain the transmission. Most people recommend doing the service at 60,000 miles, I was at 55,000 and decided to go for it.
Lets do it!
Let me say before I even start that you will be under the car and on your back a LOT for this job. A creeper will make this job much, much easier. I picked up a 36-in. Torin Big Red creeper at Advance Auto for $20 on sale. Definitely the best purchase I ever made.
Drove the car onto the four 2x10s that allow my jack to fit under the car. Emergency brake and chocks for the rear wheels. Jacked the front of the car at the central jacking point, placed jack stands under front jack pads and lowered carefully. Jacked the rear under the differential, jack stands under the rear jack pads.
Remember, whenever youre working under the car, have someone nearby, and try your best to rock the car off the jack stands BEFORE you get under it to make sure its stable. Life is precious should be long, and nothing of this sort is worth injuring yourself over.
I had driven about a half-hour before I started, but before I got to the transmission I changed the oil and the fuel filter, so the transmission pan was warm to the touch, not hot. This is important because to fill the transmission accurately the transmission must be between 30-50C, or 85-120F. Skin temperature is around 85F and 120F is too hot to maintain steady contact without pain, so as long as the fluid and pan are warm, youre in the correct range.
Opened the FILL plug of the transmission pan. It is a horizontal, large diameter plug towards the rear of the car that takes an 8mm Allen wrench. I couldnt get my breaker bar into the confined space. Maybe I could have if Id had a ½-in. drive 8mm hex driver, but I didnt, so I was using a ½-in. to 3/8-in. drive adapter, which made the whole thing longer, causing it not to fit. Next, I tried beating on the Allen wrench with a rubber mallet. Maybe a deadblow hammer would have worked, but the rubber mallet didnt. Next I fit a 6-inch long 3/8-in. drive socket extension on the end of the 8mm Allen wrench (well it sorta fit!) and beat on that with the mallet, and the bolt moved. Before it came off I put a 5 qt. painters measuring container under the plug, and out came about 3 qts. of nasty dark grey fluid, filled with metal particles.
Next, I opened the drain plug, which is on the bottom of the pan towards the front of the car. It takes a 6mm Allen driver and in this case I used the 18-in. breaker bar which made it much easier. Another 1-1.5 qts came out.
Finally, I cracked all 22 pan bolts using a T-25 Torx driver on the end of the breaker bar. Theyre only torqued to 6 N-m so the bar was probably overkill, but it didnt hurt anything. I left four in place, one at each corner, and remove the rest. There is still another 1.5 qts of fluid left in the pan, so I recommend removing two from the front corners first. This will allow you to pour the remaining fluid into a waiting container. ZF says the transmission holds 9.2 qts including the torque converter and 6.5 qts not including the TC. Since youre not removing the TC (nor should you bother), 6.5 qts is all youre going to get. I wish Id had a larger diameter catch container than the paint container. I spilled a good bit of fluid on the ground and even some in my hair (My wife smelled the stuff on me later, saw it in my hair, and asked me if Id seen the episode of In Living Color chronicleing the invention of the Jerry Curl).
Some folks have disconnected the lines that run from the transmission to the transmission fluid cooler at the front of the car, put the output into a bucket and connected the input to a gravity feed container of fresh fluid. In this way you can exchange all of the fluid, but the lines looked mighty inaccessible to me, so I opted to just drain as much as I could. This might be one of those things thats much easier with a lift (what isnt?).
With the pan off, I set it aside and removed the AT filter. Two flathead Allen bolts secure it, but you only need to remove the one towards the front of the car to remove it. Make sure the pink sealing ring comes with it. Have a container ready because it contains holds a good bit of fluid. Get the new filter and install it, making sure to seat the sealing ring properly. If the filter is horizontal, good chance its seated properly.
Now its time to clean the pan. There are 8 rare earth magnets in the pan that collect metal bits. Mine were covered in fine grey sludge, which is a very good thing. Every bit of sludge on these magnets was not grinding away at the rest of the transmission. You should use lint free cloth to clean all of these parts so as not to introduce foreign particles into the transmission. I used paper towels and brake cleaner and I expect to be smitten by the transmission gods with a lightning bolt any minute now. With the magnets clean of sludge, the pan nice and shiny, and the gasket surface free of any residue, I coated the whole thing with a thin layer of fresh ATF and brought it back to the car.
Back under the car I had three or four bolts facing the wrong way in the pan to keep the new gasket in place. Getting the first couple bolts in while holding the pan above my head was probably the hardest part of this job. A couple of times I touched the gasket with grimy hands and had to undo the whole thing, clean the gasket, and start all over again. I finally got it, and tightened up all 22 bolts in a rough star pattern to 6 N-m. Maybe you can do a perfect star pattern, but not being able to see all of the bolts at once and the fact that the pan is somewhat squarish meant close enough was good for me. Next, torque the drain plug to 35 N-m.
Once the pan was on it was time to pump in some fresh fluid. To do this you need some sort of fluid pump. Mine looks like a giant liquid soap pump. I attached it to empty windshield washer liquid container and filled it with 3 qts of Valvoline Mercon V ATF. The original fluid in this transmission is Esso ATF LT71141, a synthetic blend that BMW sells in 20L barrels for $28/L (yes, you read right, $560 bucks a barrel). If you bring your own container, some dealerships will sell you smaller quantities. 7 L at $28/L is still $192, so if you insist on sticking with the OEM fluid, VW, Audi, and Porsche use the same ZF transmissions that use the same fluid and you can get it for $16/L from their dealerships and a couple of web sources (see p/n and links at the end). VW also sells a Pentosin substitute that can be had for $8-9/L. Valvoline has certified Mercon V as compatible with Esso LT 71141, as has Castrol with their Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF. Plenty of folks have also used the Redline D4 ATF product, and some have also tried Amsoils synthetic ATF with success. If youre still under warranty Id stick with the OEM fluid (VW stuff is fine, its the same thing). If anything were to happen I think youre position would be better if they couldnt blame it all on different fluid. Being out of warranty, I felt comfortable using the Mercon V. It doesnt hurt that it goes for $4/qt, 1/7 the price of the BMW juice and ¼ the price from VW. I purchased 7 qts. and used about 6-1/2, together with the filter ($23.25) and the gasket ($13.75), both from Pelican Parts, the total cost of materials for the service came to $66.26.
At this point I was able to pump in about 3 qts. I inserted the fill plug finger tight and started the car, shifting through the gears slowly ten times to get the new fluid in all the nooks and crannies. Placed the gear selector in neutral, shut off the car, and pumped additional fluid through the fill plug until overflow. Have your catch container ready! Reinserted the fill plug finger tight.
Now the tricky part! Started the car in neutral and left it running. You have to crawl under the car and top off the fluid with it running, then screw in the fill plug and torque it to spec. I stayed clear of the exhaust, no burns, but I will admit I was a little tense and wanted to be out from under the car ASAP. Getting the fill plug in was a b*tch. My fingers were covered in oil, I was sweating, nervous, and you cant see where the allen wrench has to go. Just as there was no way to get the breaker bar in to loosen the fill plug, there was no way to get a torque wrench in there either. Once I finally got it in there I just whacked the 8mm allen wrench solidly with the mallet a couple of times and called it a day. If youre able to get a torque wrench in there, the spec is 30 N-m.
I wish I had cleaned the exhaust and pan with a degreaser. The fluid on my arms got on there and I can smell it every time the car has been running for a while. Ill clean it next time I have the car up, but do yourself a favor and clean everything up while you have access to the underside of the car.
Well, thats it! I was doing everything for the first time and the transmission took me 4 hours start to finish. Its been three days and I think it feels smoother, but it felt pretty darn smooth beforehand, so that might just be wishful thinking. I will say confidently that the shifts do happen faster, but again, they werent slow before either. Changing 6.5 qts. out of 9.2 gives a 71% change, 6.5/9.2 = 71% . Changing another 6.5 qts. puts the new to old fluid ratio at 91%, [(9.2-6.5)*71%+6.5]/9.2 = 91%. I might do a drain and fill again in 30,000 miles without dropping the pan just to get some fresh fluid in there.

Transmission: ZF 5HP19 (BMW A5S 325Z), green plaque on transmission
Lessons Learned:
I wouldnt do this without a creeper.
Jack the car as high as possible.
Use a larger catch-pan than I did to avoid spills
Have kitty litter ready in case you spill some ATF (I sure did)
For the fluid pump, if you can find a squat bottle with the proper threads this will make the job easier since room under the car is limited.
A ½-in. drive 8mm hex driver would have helped with the fill plug
Degrease the exhaust, cat, and AT pan while you have the car on stands

Great write up. I goingto do the same thing.have all the parts already,just need to find time.
costco sells a aluminum jack that just fits under the car in the center. this is the only jack i have used that does,even the one with the big roller end can't.
I'm going to do a brake fluis flush also while I have it up on stands.
keep us updated if any problems arise

Cleaning ATF
A little followup and a question.
Apparently I got some ATF on the cat and exhaust pipes. I assumed it would burn off but it hasn't Now anytime I've been driving a while and come to a stop I smell ATF.
I tried GUNK Engine Degreaser and it smelled like that for a while, but the ATF smell was still there. My next thought is brake cleaner with steel wool.
Can anyone recommend a product and/or method to remove the ATF completely from the exhaust?
Phil Williams/Torquewrench
2001 330i Orient Blue
A steel brush on the end of a drill or dremel and some brake cleaner should work well.
How has the transmission been performing since you switched to the Valvoline Mercon V?
With the wire brush, should I be concerned about removing the rust-proofing (galvanization or whatever is used)?
As for the Mercon V, I haven't noticed any ill effects, and perhaps slightly faster shifts, but it could easily be wishful thinking. I'm thinking of dropping the pan and changing it out again, just to make sure I don't have a weeping leak from the gasket that might be depositing a tiny amount on the CAT periodically. I'd never think of doing that with the Esso because of the cost, but with the Mercon V, it's just $28 at $4 quart and $14 for the gasket. If I do I'll take some pictures this time and add them to the DIY.

torquewrench, thank you for the excellent write up. I decided to go with Valvoline MerconV as well, especially now that it is written on the bottle that it is compatible with the LT71141.
I do have a question for you or anyone else.
I have a 2001 E46 325i sedan manufactured in 12/2000. The transmission label is color green with "5HP-19" printed on the same label. According to the Bentley manual, use Texaco ETL 8072 B if the tag is green. Bentley manual also indicates that 5HP-19 is a ZF transmission that use Esso LT71141. Most likely I'm reading things incorrectly. I'm leaning on the Esso but confused because the label is colored definitely green. Should I go with the Esso LT71141 designation?
It's the Esso
My tranny is the 5HP19 as well. When I looked at mine I thought it looked green too, but when I cleaned it off and looked more closely it was a shade of blue and had Esso LT71141 written on it.
Also, the ZF transmission manual clearly states that 5HP19's are filled with Esso, see page 4 at the following link:
ZF Transmission Guide

I finally found the label at the bottom, it was covered with mud. It did specify the use of Esso LT71141 equivalent. Ah yes, it too is a green label.
I did the trans oil changed over the weekend. Although the oil drain stopped, there was still quite a bit of oil in the pan and filter. It was hard to hold the pan and remove the bolts at the same time. A big catch pan is a must for this job. I had a hard time looking for a stubby 8mm hex bit to take out the fill plug due to not much clearance. Settled on Lisle 12560 8mm 3/8" socket to do the job.
I used Valvoline Mercon V. Hopefully it is compatible as Valvoline claimned; time will tell.
My favorite degreaser is Simple Green. I have it handy on a squeeze bottle. I used it extensively on this job. Best of all, it does not have harsh chemicals and it's biodegredable. I also use it on plastic and rubber parts doing an engine clean. Gunk is great on metal and heavy thick oil accumulation but leaves a strong after smell for awhile.
Torquewrench, thanks again for the write up.
this is an awesome thread and write-up!! i started what you call the "unofficial statistics" thread at bimmerforums. I hope you don't mind, but i'm going to post a link to your thread here over there. all this information is going to help clear up all the misinformation that has been going around about maintaining these transmissions.
thank you for taking the time to do this write up and i hope perhaps you'll be able to post some pictures too.
I found your thread very, very useful and it was part of what made me comfortable going ahead with this.
Thanks again,

Transmission fluid
What are y'all thoughts on Royal Purple ATF?
Its been 4k since I did mine. when i first did it I must have installed the gasket wrong as I got a leak. I remove the pan again and I had missed the holes in the gasket. But instead of getting a new gasket I just used gasket maker. no problems so far. the car shifts well and smoothly. I used valvoline merc v.
This is a advanced DIY job. needs some tools not usually found in the adverage kit.
Aslo did the brake flush and diff change at the same time.
how to check AT fluid
I have a 540i with Automatic Transmission with 64,000 miles.
should I check this when it's hot or cold?
most cars want the fluid checked hot and the transmission in Park.
right now with it Cold, the is no fluid in the reservior, and it smells burnt inside the chamber.
Maybe it's my imagination, the car runs and shift fine.
My local dealer says it will cost over $800 to change my ATF -- 2003 330ixA, delivered 11/2002. He said the ATF costs over $100/quart.
Is this right? How can I be sure which fluid I need, and can another shop handle it? I am not quite ready to undertake the job.
The car has about 108k on its original fluid. It is not shifting that well IMO. The buttery, quick shifts are now kind of soggy. And when very cold, the unit misses shifts / delays.
So I am definitely in the mood to change fluid, but what is the best approach, other than $800 to Motorwerks BMW?
i am considering doing this also i have a 2000 323ci with 59k on it. Any suggestions besides the great write up already? Also i have heard great things about ROYAL PURPLE has anyone tried it? Or is it not something i should use?/

post the pics
Ok guys here are some of the pictures.
First picture is of the label to identify the trans you have.
Second picture is of the pan with only the four corner bolts left in it, they are broken lose and the two on the back of the pan are unscrewed more then the other to to give the pan a bit of a lean back to allos remaining fluid to drain out.
third we have a picture of the magnets after dropping the pan..
fourth how dirty my magnets were..nasty!
A clean pan...
then a coupld pictures of the bolts holding on the filter...only the one has to be removed to take it off.
And last is the way i filled my trans without having to sit under the car the whole time while it was running...second filling to top it off

Hope those pictures can help i would have takin more but i had some dirty hands!!! I snapped shots between me washing my hands to get the phone or something to drink or whatever else... Great write up though it helped out a lot. Only this i messed up on following the write up is where the fill plug was...there is another horizonel bolt on the back side of the trans..this bolt is incorrect the proper plug is on the drivers side near the rear of the trans...and it is tough to get at with a ratchet...mine got stuck in there and i had to tighten the bolt back up and figure out a different way to get it which is much like the one described...

Great write up Torquewrench!! I have a question though. I want to change the auto tranny fluid on a 2001 330xi and I called TMS to buy the fluid and to make sure Redline D4 ATF was compatible and they said it cannot be done without a special machine that feeds the fluid at a specific temperature and pressure! I would expect the dealer to feed me this BS but not TMS, unless it were true. Any insight? Thanks!

330xi vs 330i matters
According to the ZF Transmission Guide (linked in my original post) the 2001 330xi uses a GM5 (A5S 390R) transmission. This is a different transmission than the ZF transmission in the 2001 330i, and it uses different fluid (Texaco ETL8072 B). My DIY was written specifically for the ZF tranny in the 2001 330i, so you need to figure out what's different about your transmission's fluid change.
Do you have a Bentley service manual for the car? Mine is at home, but that would be the first thing I would check. It's possible the procedure is different, but the ZF also requires the fluid to be at a specific temperature while you measure/add fluid.
As to specific pressure, I can't say. They may have a machine they use that does a great job, and it's possible this is the only way, but it may be that since they never did it without the machine they don't know how.
I would recommend doing a search for people changing the Texaco fluid in the GM5 transmission on this site, Roadfly, e39.org, and other BMW messageboards to see if/how people have done it.
Post what you find out!

Bentley says...
Bentley doesn't say anything special about the GM transmissions in the xi models other than the different fluid and different bolt torques.
Phil Williams/Torquewrench
2001 330i Orient Blue
Thanks for the info! Does the Bently manual give a good writeup on the procedure? Is it similar to what you found in your research and experience? My thinking is that if the Bently manual follows what you have found for the 330i, then they probably have good info and I will trust that they are correct in not specifying a different procedure for the 330xi. I know I need to finally bite the bullet and get the manual.
I must be an idiot
Great write-up but I think I did something wrong. I did everything correctly up to filling the auto trans to the proper fluid level. I was on the final step of being under the car while it is running and for some reason, before I got under the car, I glanced at my Bentley service manual and it said to put it in park before doing that step, not neutral. So, I did. When I took out the fill plug (slowly) fluid starting going everywhere and I must have spilled 2-3 quarts on the floor before I could get the car shut off and the plug back in since the fluid was sooooo hot. I've now put back in the fill plug and turned the car off letting it cool down and I figure I'll try it again when it is not so hot.
Any ideas or advice? I think I only had about 5 1/2 quarts in it and I kept checking it trying to add more until that last move. I took out a bit over 6 quarts. Now I only have about a quart and a half of the special fluid I ordered from Bavarian Autosport left not including what managed to stay in the pan and I'm not afraid I won't be able to get this right. Part of me just wants to tell the dealer to finish it up. Motivation anyone?

Super Sunday!
It is here and one can only imagine a future Sunday such as this iduring which we are watching the Miami Dolphins in the ultimate NFL game. OK, daydream over.
It's about the Colts and the Saints today.
I have picked the Colts. They're the better team. I hope the Saints win. They're the better story. Plus, I love underdogs.
We will be blogging live throughout the day and game. I will be on here around 5 p.m. and we can start then.
Meantime, let me give you a few things to consider:
It is gorgeous here in South Florida, if you happen to be one of my readers from out of the area. And yet, this paradise I call home is under pressure from the NFL to improve Sun Life Stadium to bring it up to the NFL's standards.
That tells me the game might not be returning to Miami for a long time. As it stands, the next game up for bid is 2014. The NFL will award that game in two or three months and I doubt they will give it to Miami only months removed from our last game.
But there are other issues that suggest the game might not be back here in a long time. Seems the NFL wants a roof over Sun Life Stadium because it wants to guard against the possibility of rain here. The Dolphins have already put out designs for such a structure. They've given no price tag on the structure -- that has a hole atop it, by the way -- but it is clear they don't want to pay the hundreds of millions it might cost to make it reality.
As a taxpayer and football fan and someone not insane, I think the roof over Sun Life is a terrible idea and not just because it looks hideous.
Even if you forget that the Dolphins have a weather advantage in early season home games and a cover might negate that, even if you forget we are in a recession, I object to the idea because I refuse to bow to the NFL's hypocrisy on the issue.
The fact is Tampa will continue to bid on Super Bowls but the NFL has not asked that region to put a roof on their stadium.
The fact is the NFL cannot be so concerned about rain here on Super Bowl Sunday here while lifting the weather clause from its Super Bowl bidding rules to allow the new Giants/Jets Stadium (which has no cover) to bid on the 2014 game.
(Super Bowls are by rule not to be played in areas where the average January/February weather averages below 50 degrees unless the game is to be played indoors. New Jersey fails on both counts, which is why the league conveniently lifted the clause this one time.)
Anyway, you probably don't feel strongly about this unless you're a South Florida resident. I am. I want Super Bowl's to continue coming here. It's a good thing. But we're good for them because this is a great place to be in February.
And that doesn't mean we should have to live up to rules no other region has to abide by. Period.
Anyway, one last thing before the live blog: I will be among the 16 panelists casting a ballot on the Super Bowl MVP tonight. At the right time, I will ask my twitter followers to tweet me their reasoned suggestions for MVP. I will take those suggestions into consideration in making my choice.

The Question Everyone Should Ask Themselves, Part One
15 comments:
- Ms-Ellisa said...
His speech was absolutely inspiring.
It does change the way you feel about life and it does change the way I'll wake up tomorrow.
Thank you for this, Angry.
I am in my home, on an island in the Ionian Sea of Greece where I am doing my first part of my residency and mostly I feel as if I'm wasting my time and damaging my brain cells trying to provide medical care under awful conditions and a very, very disgraceful salary.
..but the fact that I can even watch this, a commencement speech from such a successful person and note down his lessons of life gives me a sense of purpose.
I am less lucky than those alumni and more lucky (I guess) than that girl in Pakistan.
So I won't give up on me, not yet, and I'll make everyone of my days count, so some day I'll be able to say that I have become who I wanted to be.
Amazing post, love it when you're being serius too.
It's almost 1:20 am and I'm on call tomorrow night- but I think it was totally worth it.

Ms Ellisa: Wow. I didn't know that much about you Ms Ellisa, despite being friends with you for what, 4 years now? Your story totally made my day. I'm so glad this helped you.
You keep going, Ellisa! You're a kickass surgeon. I am 100% sure you'll get where you want to be.

Conor Oberst's Rape Accuser Apologizes, Says Everything She Said Was 'False'
The woman who accused Conor Oberst of rape has issued an apology. After several months of public scrutiny, a period in which the Bright Eyes frontman counter-sued the woman, it seems that the ordeal may finally be behind him.
The accuser, Joanie Faircloth, issued a public apology today, claiming that her accusations were "100 percent false." It reads:
The statements I made and repeated online and elsewhere over the past six months accusing Conor Oberst of raping me are 100% false. I made up those lies about him to get attention while I was going through a difficult period in my life and trying to cope with my son's illness. I publicly retract my statements about Conor Oberst, and sincerely apologize to him, his family, and his fans for writing such awful things about him. I realize that my actions were wrong and could undermine the claims of actual sexual assault victims and for that I also apologize. I'm truly sorry for all the pain that I caused.
Here's the notarized document:
According to Pitchfork, Oberst's camp has been trying to reach Faircloth for the past seven months.
This is all started at the end of 2013, when Faircloth, posting anonymously on the website xoJane, claimed that Oberst had forced himself on her after a concert in 2003, when she was 16 years old.
Oberst counter-sued in February, and last week, it was reported that the accusations cost him a $200,000 record deal because of his suffered reputation. The 34-year-old singer-songwriter released his latest solo album, 'Upside Down Mountain,' in May, and sales haven't been all that great.
Now that all this is hopefully behind him, let's get back to listening to Oberst's music, like 'Zigzagging Toward the Light' from his new album:

As I suspect is the case with many of you reading this, I'm so ready for this presidential campaign to be over with, to the point where I simply can't bring myself to watch cable news very much. But I do still enjoy Morning Joe every now and then! Occasional douchebag guest aside, it's always struck me as the most sensible, balanced and non shout-y cable news talk show going these days.
With that said, I'm kind of sad that I didn't tune in this morning to see this live: Republican co-host Joe Scarborough, a Romney supporter, recoiling in horror after viewing a clip of the Most Painfully Awkward Man in the World trying to coax a crowd into starting a "Romney/Ryan" chant. Like, Scarborough literally buries his face in his hands and moans, "sweet Jesus."
And just think: with the debates still to come and Romney as of now estimated to have less than a 4% chance of beating Obama, it's only going to get more painfully awkward from here!

John G. Thompson
John Glenn Thompson, 69, met his Lord and Savior face-to-face on Tuesday, Nov. 22, 2011, at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Funeral services will be held on Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, at 1:30 p.m. at Southern Hills Church of Christ, with burial to follow at Texas State Veterans Cemetery with Phil Ware and John Risse officiating. The family will be receiving friends at North's Funeral Home, 242 Orange Street, on Sunday, Nov. 27, from 2-4 p.m. John was born Sept. 4, 1942, in Monahans, Texas to Sterling and Beatrice Thompson. Due to his father's career in the Air Force, John spent his teenage years in Maine, but found himself back in Texas, finishing up at McCallum High School in Austin. He then enlisted in the United States Navy, where he served proudly on the U.S.S. Oriskany, U.S.S. Antietam, and the U.S.S. Shangri-la, from 1959 to 1963. Upon honorable discharge, John moved to Midland where he established himself in the mortgage loan business. He later spent time working in El Paso, Dallas and Lake Jackson as a mortgage banker and home builder. In 1972, he came to Abilene to build the Las Brisas Apartments, and ended up meeting and marrying the love of his life, Rita Hankins Jowers. John and Rita made their home in Abilene, where he spent many years as a talented home builder, developer and realtor. In 1984, he became a Taylor County Commissioner and served two terms. He then moved the family to Austin in 1994, where he continued his passion of home building. John and Rita then moved back to Abilene in 2005, where he worked in disaster relief with the Small Business Administration following Hurricane Katrina. Upon return, John attempted to "semi-retire," but was unable to resist having his hand in some building project at all times. Throughout his career, he was a contributing member of the community through his involvement with the Ben Richey Boys Ranch, Dixie Little League, Abilene Board of Realtors, Abilene Home Builders Association and was currently serving on the board for Abilene's Habitat for Humanity. He was active in the Southern Hills Church of Christ and became a member of the Sweetwater Emmaus Community in 2009, following his Walk to Emmaus, which he would say was a "life-changing experience". While all of his professional accomplishments and civic responsibilities brought him pride, the great joy of his life was his family. John and Rita have four children, and anyone that spent time with him, knew that they were his first priority. He relished in coaching his three boys' football and baseball teams, and there was no doubt that his only daughter had him wrapped around her finger. The family enjoyed traveling together and spent numerous summers and weekends at Port Aransas and Brownwood Lake. John also enjoyed drag racing and dabbled in the hobby with his own 1968 Camaro. Upon he and Rita's "Empty Nest," they became avid dog lovers and were passionate about rescuing their "furry babies" from the pound. He left behind four dogs that he loved dearly. John's survivors include his beloved wife of 38 years, Rita Thompson of Abilene; four children, Mark Thompson and Glenn Thompson of Austin; Tony Thompson and wife, Heather, of Bastrop and Ginger Thompson Paty and husband, Cody of Sweetwater. He is also survived by five beautiful grandchildren that he adored, Hannah and Katie Thompson of Bastrop; and Claire, Gregory and Meredith Paty of Sweetwater. Additionally he is survived by his father and step mother, Sterling and Robbie Thompson of Lufkin, Texas. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to MD Anderson Cancer Center of Houston or Rescue the Animals Shelter of Abilene.

Hybrid Courts in East Asia & Pacific: Does the international community have a role to play?
In my previous entry, I asked what role the World Bank and other donors might be able to play in exploring whether hybrid courts might help enhance access to justice. I believe there are three key areas where we in the international community might be able to support country discussions of whether and how to incorporate community justice systems through hybrid courts.
