Parkrose School District Votes Monday on Contracting for TransportationPosted: February 23, 2014 | Author: kmcdade | Filed under: Opinion | Tags: bus drivers, oregon, parkrose, portland, schools, transportation | Leave a comment »
Dear School Board Members,
You're in luck. I am unable to come and talk to you Monday evening, because I will be supervising Girl Scout cookie sales. However, I did want to express my opposition to contracting out for transportation services.
I have reviewed the cost analysis, and understand that if this is accurate it may restore 2 or 3 days of school to the calendar.
I don't see this as a sufficient savings for the district. I also notice that the savings basically comes from not having to pay any PERS costs and from a reduction in health benefits costs, which I'm guessing means a reduction in health benefits and/or an increase in costs to the employees.
Yes, I want good schooling for our kids, but not at the expense of shrinking benefits to employees. Those employees are also tax-paying members of our community. In addition, a company that offers lower pay and benefits is less likely to attract quality employees who will take good care of our children. First Student (where my husband works as a bus driver) seems to have a fairly high rate of turnover.
I'm also concerned about safety and customer service issues between First Student and other districts (Molalla is a good example right now).
I urge the board not to contract out for transportation services at this time.
Kathleen McDade
If you want to chime in, here is the school board's contact information. Or, attend the board meeting on Monday, February 24 at 6:30 p.m. at the district office.

Parkrose Fire Station Changes Equipment, Loses StaffPosted: August 27, 2013 | Author: kmcdade | Filed under: Discussion, News | Tags: discussion, fire department, fire station, news, oregon, parkrose, portland | Leave a comment »
Portland's fire department unveiled a new piece of equipment Monday at the Parkrose Fire Station (4800 NE 122nd Avenue). It's called a quint, and it combines the functions of a fire engine and a ladder truck. Firefighters will now respond with one vehicle instead of two (calling in more help if needed, of course).
This also means a reduction in crew at the Parkrose station. Previously, there were eight crew members per shift; now there will be four.
This station serves the Parkrose and Argay neighborhoods as well as the city of Maywood Park. According to the fire department, they received 2304 calls for service from 7/1/2009 to 6/30/2010.
The nearby Gateway station, at 13313 NE San Rafael, is a smaller station, which was already equipped with just one engine and no ladder truck, and four crew members. This station received 2,695 calls for service in the same year, and serves the Parkrose Heights, Russell, Wilkes and Woodland Park neighborhoods.
The nearest station with the traditional ladder truck and engine appears to be the Mill Park station at 1500 NE 122nd Avenue.
Fire station information is listed on the fire department's website.
What do you think? Is this a reasonable cost-cutting measure, or a dangerous safety risk?

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries – Your Thoughts?Posted: August 16, 2013 | Author: kmcdade | Filed under: Discussion | Tags: business, discussion, medical marijuana, ommp, oregon, parkrose, portland | 2 Comments »
The Mid-County Memo newspaper has an article on their site about an effort by Mary Walker, a longtime member of the Parkrose Neighborhood Association, to shut down a (legal) medical marijuana dispensary in Parkrose.
In an email, Walker notified members of the Historic Parkrose Neighborhood Prosperity Initiative that she is contacting local and federal authorities in an attempt to disrupt, even close the business and asked for their help.
This reminded me that I've seen several dispensaries opening shop in the Parkrose/Gateway area in the past year or so. We've had one near NE 105th and Glisan for a quite a while, but now there are a couple on NE Halsey, one near NE 122nd and Burnside, and the one Walker wants to shut down near NE 103rd and Sandy.
I keep wondering whether this is a sign that medical marijuana is a profitable business, or that their customer base in this area has grown, or what.
I'm also interested in what you think about this. Is an OMMP dispensary just another business? Or is it bad for the neighborhood? Please leave a comment below.
Bicyclist Crossing I-205 Struck By VehiclePosted: August 15, 2013 | Author: kmcdade | Filed under: News | Tags: news, oregon, parkrose, portland | Leave a comment »

National Night Out, Where Are You?Posted: August 6, 2013 | Author: kmcdade | Filed under: Community Events, News | Tags: argay, glenfair, hazelwood, mill park, national night out, oregon, parkrose, parkrose heights, portland, ventura park | Leave a comment »
Tonight is the annual National Night Out, in which neighborhoods across the U.S. come together to celebrate, ostensibly as a way of fighting crime in the neighborhoods.
My family has attended National Night Out in Knott Park for several years. This event was previously put on by the Parkrose Heights Association of Neighbors, assisted by Parkrose United Methodist Church. I know there have also been prior events at Argay Park and in the Woodland Park neighborhood. But this year, unless the events aren't being publicized or registered with the City of Portland, nothing is happening. And I'm curious. What happened? Is it because of budget cuts in the city's Office of Neighborhood Involvement? Or did everyone simultaneously lose interest?
I wish I'd remembered about National Night Out before today. We just moved recently (although we are still in Parkrose Heights), and we might have organized something for our apartment complex.
The nearest events this year are at Ventura Park (tonight) at 6:00 p.m. and at Glenfair Park on Wednesday, August 7 starting at 5:00 p.m.

Meetings of theologians don't usually make news. But trends can make news. A series of meetings can start to show some direction the participants' thinking is going in. If it's a new direction, and one with potentially positive results, then we journalists on the Godbeat take notice.
The "Common Word" conference now underway at Yale Divinity School in the United States is at the heart of a trend towards increasingly frequent and detailed discussions among Christian and Muslim scholars and leaders. This trend is a reaction to September 11 and other Islamist attacks in Western countries. To our 24/7 news culture, this sounds like a very slow-fused reaction indeed, but changing attitudes and building trust takes time.
Just about every conference participant I've spoken to has stressed that work towards greater understanding between Christians and Muslims was now moving ahead on several fronts. "There's definitely something in the air," remarked Miroslav Volf, a Protestant theologian who runs the Yale Center for Faith and Culture. As University of Cambridge theologian David Ford put it, "People were almost waiting for an initiative around which they could gather and which generally gave some way forward for Muslim-Christian engagement. Many initiatives were on the Christian side before but this was a Muslim initiative. It's had the desired effect."
We've blogged a lot here about the Common Word dialogue appeal last October by 138 Muslim scholars to Christian leaders. That appeal prompted Volf and three Yale colleagues to write a welcoming response signed by about 300 theologians and church leaders, mostly Protestants in the United States. It led to a meeting at the Vatican in March that agreed on a conference and meeting with Pope Benedict in November and a regular Catholic-Muslim forum. Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams also hosted a meeting of Christian theologians in June to write another response that will be discussed at another Common Word conference at the University of Cambridge in Britain in October.
An interesting twist has been the burst of interfaith activity by King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, whose strict Wahhabi sect of Islam came to be seen as a stumbling block to better relations between Islam and the West after it turned out that 15 of the 19 9/11 attackers were Saudis. Abdullah paid a surprise visit to Pope Benedict at the Vatican in November and announced he wanted to promote interfaith understanding. This was initially greeted with scepticism, including on this blog, because it looked like this might be more a PR exercise than a serious initiative. But Abdullah held an interesting meeting in early June of Muslim scholars — Sunnis, Shi'ites and others — to win approval for his project. He then convened a surprising interfaith conference in Madrid this month that brought together Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists and others.

Appetizers for dinner...
So i have a friend coming to town for the first time and we have one night for dinner. Instead of doing a dinner, i was thinking that we should do a progressive appetizer and drink thing so she can see a little more of what Austin has to offer. We are starting at around 6:00 or 6:30 and need to be at Fonda's bar to meet some folks for a final drink between 9:30 and 10. I would assume we can hit 2 or 3 places at most without feel rushed (and dealing with traffic).
So it's to you chowhounds...where would you go to have a drink and appetizer that shows off Austin and it's character? What would you order? She lives in the SF bay area so Chinese and Japanese are probably less appealing than SW cuisine.
As a caveat, she is going to be up by the Arboretum for the pick up so NW is better than downtown (and south) in this case.
One thing that my friends and I like to do is Eddie V's and ZTejas for HH. Some good appetizers are half priced with drink specials, as well. We usually start at Eddie Vs with oysters and crab cakes. Then walk on over to ZTejas for the shrimp and avocado bites and the pot stickers. Then, you could head Downtown to the Roaring Fork for some amazing complimentary beef jerky and some green chili pork. Then head on over to FSM.
In the Arboretum area, I also understand that Manuels on Jolleyville has a very good Happy Hour.
Manuels in the Arboretum area does 1/2 price appetizers ...my friend and I did 2 house margarita's and shared 3 appetizers for dinner last night and the bill was right around $20.00. We really enjoyed the appetizers too !!
Eddie V's is a great choice for 1/2 priced appetizers and is in her area.
Haven't been to the Domain yet, but have heard that Kona Grill has cheap ones and there are several places close together so you could snack hop
Would absolutely second Manuel's Great Hills on the patio. Get the hongos guisados and the chiviche, both half price. The chicken mole is good, but I think it has too much plain shredded chicken to the mole/cheese ratio. Great corn tortillas.
Then to Eddie V's for (again) half-price appetizers. SO and I usually split the arugula/goat cheese/wild mushroom salad and he either gets the seared ahi tuna or the tempora shrimp and I either get the lobster bisque or the broiled oysters (with a side of hollindaise).
Both of these are VERY afffordable and outstanding at full price.
If it were my friend coming for a visit, mkrell, I'd be tempted to try some of the places serving these delicious-sounding dishes, particularly the salad at North by Northwest that Carter B. suggested:
Or, since you're finishing up at Fonda San Miguel, perhaps you and your friend might like to focus on great versions of Mexican and Central American food rather than upscale-dining spots with cheap happy-hour specials. If so, you could sample various small plates at El Zunzal, Mi Colombia, Jantizio, etc. These restaurants aren't at all fancy, but then again, you're there for the chow, right? Disclaimer: I'm taking scrumptiouschef's word for it on Mi Colombia and El Zunzal, which I still haven't tried yet.
Since Daily Grill and Kona Grill are national chains, I'm not sure that they'd provide your friend with a unique sense of Austin's best dining. If you don't mind a short drive, you can find similarly "comfortably upscale" options, with middle-class creature comforts *and* really good food—at some of Austin's locally-owned spots. I've enjoyed the appetizers at the bar at Jeffrey's, which singlemalt mentions above. I believe that Zax has been mentioned favorably in several recent threads. Perhaps it's worth a search of the board and a look at their menu?
In the spirit of striving, collectively, for intense deliciousness, I must state that I don't like the food at Z'Tejas at all (http://www.chowhound.com/topics/41861... ). I also think Manuel's chow is overrated (http://www.chowhound.com/topics/361720 ). Personally, I'm not that impressed with the Roaring Fork (http://www.chowhound.com/topics/353192 ) or the food—as opposed to the ambience—at Fino. I haven't tried it myself, but I know that several 'hounds seem to really dislike Eddie V's.
You can use the "search this board" link at the top of this page to find more opinions on all these places.
re: MPH
MPH,This is a warning about a possible downhill slide at El Zunzal.
The big beefy Marine who owns the place with his mom hasn't been in his joint lately and the food has suffered noticeably.His brother,a very nice man with a calm demeanor is overseeing the operation now and the Carnitas are woeful.
Their method is is thus:Cubing a pork butt,roasting the cubes,then frying in the rendered fat.The result,formerly was a crisp outside with a fatty succulent center.The new version is dry,dry and dry.Not only not good but actually bad.The Guacamole is also not as good.It used to come freshly made and nicely salted and limed with fresh chopped sweet onion.No more.It could possibly be no longer made to order.
Oh the privation.
The Pupusa are still delicious but once again not on the same par as before.
I'm giving El Zunzal a couple months break before I return.
The above observations came after 3 consecutive trips in recent weeks.
re: scrumptiouschef
Thanks for the warning, scrumptiouschef. I didn't realize that there had been a change in the kitchen at El Zunzal. It's always sad when good chow goes bad, but it's worse when bad chow happens to good chowhounds. I'll steer clear of El Z until you give the go-ahead.
And I can appreciate your clarification, amysuehere. Manuel's is certainly a better deal during happy hour. I'm still so mad about those disgusting runny-mashed-potato "gorditas" that it will take more than half-price appetizers to get me to return—at least during this decade. ;-)
re: amysuehere
Actually, I really don't find it sad that Manuel's food is not delicious to me. I'm thrilled that I'm no longer eating it. =D Their "gorditas" were the tipping point, but all the food that I sampled there (on more than one visit) was, in my opinion, mediocre at best. For me to consider that Manuel's is otherwise a "good find" would mean that I've enjoyed their food, other than the gorditas. Or possibly that I'm unfairly letting one negative experience overwhelm all the good ones. There were no good experiences. There were only bad ones.
I can appreciate that other people like Manuel's. More power to them. And it's great that chowhound.com showcases these different opinions. But I certainly don't miss what, to me, is undelicious food, even at relatively more-affordable prices.
re: MPH
My goodness, you definately have a theme going today, mph.
I like Manuel's for a few very select items; hongos, chiviche, corn tortillas and mole sauce. The rest I completely agree with you.
With me, that's more the rule than the exception. I find one or two menu items at a place that I really enjoy and the rest, had I tried them first, would probably leave me never coming back.
Eddie V's is a wonderful place for HH especially in your vicinity...all of my out of town guests have had great meals here, either location (NW and Downtown).
for small bites, it's Wink's wine bar and Fino hands down. I regularly just order appetizers for dinner at both places

In response to:
Agreed, Corbett, SS is already broke - due to monumental fraud that dwarfs anything that Bernie Madoff ever thought of. Most people have been lead to believe that their FICA money is sitting in trust for them. In reality, all the extra money has been spent on other programs, and the SS vault is full of T-Bill IOU's that are totally dependent on future generations agreeing to honor them. That said, I consider myself a conservative who wants to prevent intergeneralizational warfare. By reducing the FICA tax, it makes this war more probable. Obama was the biggest cheerleader on this, and I condemn him for it.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's opening bid to Speaker John Boehner, a demand for $1.6 trillion in new taxes, was not meant as a serious offer. It was an ultimatum couched in an insult. Translation:
"We won the election. We have the whip hand. Not only are you going to sign on to higher tax rates and higher tax revenues, we are going to rub your Tea Party noses in your coming capitulation."
That Boehner did not throw the offer back in Geithner's face and tell him, "Give me a call, Tim, when you're serious," suggests that the speaker feels he is...

This Valentine's Day, give your man a gift that he will absolutely love that will also secretly strengthen your relationship and ultimately make you a happier woman. How? Watch the video above and then watch our product videos. And if you're still not convinced, then read our Top 10 reasons why every woman should her man a ZEPP (see below).
*To receive your free sport mount, add a mount of your choosing to your order before checkout. Offer valid in the US only.
|Because you're probably the better athlete in the relationship and all you really need is a little coaching from someone other than him.
|He will be more confident because he'll be a better golfer, tennis player, softball player and baseball coach.
|His newfound confidence and happiness will inspire him to be more helpful: he'll finally do all those chores that he should have done a long time ago.
|With all those chores finally done, you'll have oodles of free time to do all those fun things you've been talking about doing.
|You will no longer be subjected to his endless speculation about why he played or coached terribly today; ZEPP will tell him exactly why he sucked.
|His renewed commitment to analyze and improve himself will be infectiously sexy.
|While he's obsessively trying to improve his game, you'll be able to focus on things that actually matter and make the world a better place.
|You can secretly borrow his ZEPP sensor and coach your kids to be successful in sports and life without Mr. Know-It-All getting in the way.
|You can ask to see his ZEPP data to confirm he was "playing a round" and not playing around.
|You can analyze his weaknesses and use them to your advantage in your weekly game or match against him. WARNING, if you choose to beat him or show him up, you will risk losing all aforementioned benefits.
If you're a woman, you're not allowed to read any further. Guys, we've done everything we can to convince your woman to buy you a ZEPP Multi-Sport Sensor for Valentine's Day. We took some drastic measures, but we hope you appreciate our effort.

Oh, she's getting married, too.
Who to?
That fellow, what's his name, that's got the garage over on Seventh Avenue.
Snider! So he's the one! Well! And I suppose she'll be all over town in a new car.
Sure. Saw him to-day. A big yellow one. I always told you she was out for money. And you thought she was in love with Jackson!
Hypocrite! She was. Or she told me so. Cried all over me. Have you seen Jackson?
Yes. He's as blue as your old kimono. He said—
Look here, Marian! I'm not going to wait all night for my dinner!
Order your old dinner! What did Jackson say, George?
The front porch of a small farmhouse in New England. Stone flags lead to the road; the yard is a careless, comfortable lawn with two or three old maples. It is autumn.
A boy of sixteen or so, carrying a paper parcel, stops hesitatingly, looks in a moment and then walks to the porch. As he stands there a man comes out of the house. The man is in his early forties, he stoops a little, but not from weakness; his expression is one of deep calm.
I wonder if you have seen my dog? I was going for a walk, but Rex seems to have grown tired of waiting.
Your dog? No, sir, I haven't seen him. Shall I go look?
No, never mind. He'll come back. Rex and I understand each other. He has his little moods, like me.
If you were going for a walk—?
It doesn't matter at all. I can go any time. You don't live in this country?
No, sir. I live in New York. I wish I did. It's beautiful here, isn't it?
It's very beautiful to me. I love it. You may have come a long road this morning, let's sit down.
Thank you. I'm not interfering with anything?

Hosted by Laurie Mercier (pictured here) and featuring music by activist folk-singer Anne Feeney, this program discusses what Obama's experience as a community organizer might mean for him as President; the role of science in the law; Hurt Locker, the movie about defusing bombs in Iraq; and the bad job the mainstream press is doing on the military coup in Honduras.
The Hurt Locker follows a US military bomb squad in Iraq as they face harrowing situations. Our Movie Moles Frann Michel and Jan Haaken discuss how the film works to position its viewers on the side of the US occupation, and they ask Can there really be an anti-war film? The Hurt Locker will be shown at the Hollwood Theater in Portland on Monday, July 20 followed by a discussion with the director Kathryn Bigelow. This is a benefit for the Portland Oregon Women's Film Festival.

I was a student at New Life, and if you want your child brainwashed into being a Christian go right ahead and send them there. Math and English were exceptionally taught at New Life and I was ahead of others my age, but I had to relearn History and Science once in college because it was taught from the "Christian Perspective".
My daughter has attended NLCA for the past two years. I appreciate the teachers and staff at the school. They care about the kids. The education is Bible based and beneficial. They use the Beka curriculum which is a high standard. We have been very pleased with the education at this school. It is much better than the public school we left. The atmosphere is good and the kids are learning.
Im a new believer of the christian faith.. I recently had crisis in my life and going to church.. learning to love and trust god has helped me understand my life better. This school teaches to love god and believe in his faith. While helping to learn the basic academic principles needed in life. Both will further these children along and personally I think its wonderful. God Bless!
This school is an excellent school. It is of high standards. A very respectable school.

We gotta get out of this placeA song about life on the road. Frequently this will be about a young person running away from home, and seeking a better life somewhere else. Anywhere else. This often results from Small Town Boredom, and the belief that life on the road is more romantic. Related to the Somewhere Song, which is about a specific place where the grass is believed to be greener, and to the "I Want" Song. See also The Runaway and Walking the Earth. For the cinematic equivalent of this trope, see Road Movie.

Comments about 18K Yellow Gold Sapphire Cascade Ring:
The best thing about my engagement ring is the love and research that went into my fiance's purchasing of it. It is so special to both of us that the jewel has been ethically acquired and set in recycled gold, by people with the same concerns and care as ourselves.
My fiance's proposal was unexpected and made so much more special and relevant by the ring that he chose from Brilliant Earth to surprise me with.

Thank Jesus. It's gonna be adventure time.
Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.
"—Matsuo Basho (via thefreenomad)
We are all on our own separate journey's, acknowledge that.
I want to travel. I want to go somewhere and see something different. I love my life, but I know that I was destined for more. Just like we all are. I know that we all can do amazing things and I guess it just frustrates me how so many people do nothing, how so many people aren't becoming part of the solution. I don't care how you do it, you can do it by being the best damn parents you can be, by being a youth group leader or an Imam. I. Don't. Care. But I think that our culture should be in a different spot than it is now. I believe that we are destined for better, that YOU are destined for better. I want to trust all of you, that's why I share my true feelings on here often, because I trust you guys to look, even skim over, but you look and you don't judge. Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could trust our fellow humans more quickly? Wouldn't it be beautiful if we didn't have to worry about someone stealing our identity? It's possible, a better life and a better society is possible. But you know what? It's not gonna start moving forward unless we become the first to trust, unless we become the one's to let our guard down first. Unless we take the first step, we give the stranger a ride, we let the surfer crash at our house. Until one starts making these first choices, we will stay stagnant.
Oh and I had a great night last night (:

Helen Reddy was lying in bed, her career going nowhere special, when something remarkable happened.
The lines: 'I am woman/hear me roar' popped into her subconscious, words she was convinced were 'delivered' to her by a higher force.
Fortunately, she had a notepad handy. The rest is history.
This month marks the 40th anniversary of 'I Am Woman', a song that became the anthem of a powerful and vibrant social force — the so-called 'women's movement' — that scared the pants off those who still believed women belonged in the bedroom.

How I shot it: Rugby star screaming or utterly stuck? You decide.
Editor's note: Our UK Sport Photographers do more than capture compelling imagery — really, they are quite a team themselves. Recently, they chose Getty Images photographer Scott Heavey's picture of rugby star Guy Mercer trapped in a ruck as their favorite sport image of the month; what follows is what Scott had to say about it:
When I talk to people about my job I often tell them that "back in the day" waiting to see how your pictures had turned out was as big a buzz than seeing the picture published in a newspaper or magazine. In this instance however, I couldn't have been happier to press a button on the back of the camera and see immediately if the picture I had just taken had turned out as well as I had hoped.
As the scrum was slowly rotating I could see Guy Mercer of Bath tucked deep in the middle and he was struggling to stand up. I played Rugby for all of two matches at secondary school before getting knocked out by a much bigger boy, so I couldn't tell you what it's like to be in a ruck and that's what I love about this image. Mercer could be appealing to the ref, he could be encouraging his teammates to push on harder or (as I like to think) he's completely and utterly stuck! He must have opened his mouth for a nano-second as the images on either side in the sequence are just him grimacing.
When shooting rugby, there are so many bodies on the pitch that your best image could be quickly ruined by an arm or a boot sneaking into frame. I was hoping that for this picture Mercer's face was the only one, or it wouldn't have been as strong. Luckily I only had to wait all of 10 seconds when the play came to a stop before looking at the back of my Canon 1D MkIV and seeing that poor old Guy was indeed the only face amongst the gripping hands, muddied shorts and the tattooed arm of Ryan Caldwell.

Fiction: Israel has cut off electricity to Gaza.
Fact: In the past, Hamas officials have committed deceptions such as pulling dark curtains in mid-day while holding a meeting to make it look as though they were being forced to work by candlelight – a sham exposed by journalists who showed that it was actually daylight outside at the time. The ruse was carried out with the complicity of some Arab satellite TV stations. More recent such deceptions have come to light as recently as November 2008, when Palestinian Authority officials said Hamas staged new blackouts to try to get sympathy from the international community and provoke civilian violence against the Palestinian Authority and Israel Further, terrorists in Gaza have fired rockets at – and hit – the power station in the Israeli city of Ashkelon that provides Gaza the majority of its electricity. The terrorists also have fired on Israeli workers at a depot that provides fuel to Gaza and a suicide bomber destroyed lines providing electricity from Israel into Gaza
– From an e-mail from the Israeli Project, January 5, 2009
Is it just me, or did these accusations evoke the image of Hamas rebels scouring the streets for wires to cut? I am by no means an authority on ballistics, but

I had 3 oil leaks, oil pressure sensor, oil filter gasket and oil seals. This car has cost me a fortune to repair. NEVER AGAIN will I get a BMW
k1seman, 2001 BMW 325Ci, 125,000 miRookie
i have just replaced the valve cover gasket and the leak seams worse, this the 2nd gasket i have put on in the last 6 months. i was very careful with the installation and it seemed to seat down properly. i have a new oil sending unit but have not installed it yet. problem #2 i seem to be losing coolant but can find no leaks. any ideas on either one of these.
Visitor, 2003 BMW 325Ci, 111,111 mi
I don't have the oil drips, but whenever I'm excelling up an incline or "putting my foot into it" on a hill, I smell this strange odor - burning oil. A lot of people never can smell it - only me.

Replace valve cover gasket
Visitor, 2004 BMW 325Ci, 76,700 mi
I had started the car on a cold day, I let it warm up for a few minutes, then headed out. When I came to a red light, I noticed a burning oil smell coming into the cabin. I immediately took the car to my trusted garage who then told me it was the valve cover gasket. I had them repair/replace it.
Visitor, 2006 BMW 325Ci, 125,000 mi
I was lucky that this has happened so late in the vehicle's life, but was still expensive to repair. The bolts used to attach the valve cover are of inferior quality- something addressed in later BMW E9X models. These bolts tend to shear due to a combination of weak material, the canter of the engine within the bay, and torque upon startup/ spirited driving. Once a bolt shears it can cause a gap between the cover and gasket or damage the gasket enough to cause a leak.
In my case, 2 valve cover bolts sheared as well as 2 bolts holding the intake manifold onto the engine. I lost about 2 quarts in the span of 2 days- a pretty substantial leak if you ask me. Total cost at an Indy shop was ~$1000 including gaskets/ bolts/ oil/ labor. This is something you can do at home if you have the time (I didn't) and is fairly straight forward... No lift or special tools required if you already have a torque wrench.
Visitor, 2004 BMW 325Ci, 96,000 mi
It burns oil. It has not been fixed

I replaced the valve cover gasket myself. Very easy job.

Just got back into paintball and this was the only paint available from Walmart, and thought I would give it a try. Loved it!!! Great paint shot about 4 cases thru my BT Delta Elite this summer and non of which broke in the hopper, pods or barrel. Only complant was I had quite a few bounce off's of players i hit, but didnt matter when spraying paint like i do. BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK!!!!! Will continue to buy.

These paintballs are GREAT, sometimes I find one or two broken in a bag, but other than that they're freat. I have also only had about 4-5 breaks in a year. I will continue to buy, for its what I can afford and they are the best you can get for the low price.

So overall this paint isn't half bad it really isn't , JT paint has come a long way from what it use to be and thanks to Empire they are getting better! So to the paint the fill is bright yellow which is great, the price is great!, also the paint isn't crazy Brittle but still not hard as a rock. Drop them from Shoulder high and they'll most likely brake. I use to Chronograph my marker also sometimes on OpenPlay. Not bad JT. If you're going to play open play and short on a little bit of money go to Walmart and pick this up not bad for the price.

Abstract. In the field, aerosol in-situ measurements are often performed under dry conditions (relative humidity RH<30–40%). Since ambient aerosol particles experience hygroscopic growth at enhanced RH, also their microphysical and optical properties – especially the aerosol light scattering – are strongly dependent on RH. The knowledge of this RH effect is of crucial importance for climate forcing calculations or for the comparison of remote sensing with in-situ measurements. Here, we will present results from a four-month campaign which took place in summer 2009 in Cabauw, The Netherlands. The aerosol scattering coefficient σsp(λ) was measured dry and at various, predefined RH conditions between 20 and 95% with a humidified nephelometer. The scattering enhancement factor f(RH,λ) is the key parameter to describe the effect of RH on σsp(λ) and is defined as σsp(RH,λ) measured at a certain RH divided by the dry σsp(dry,λ). The measurement of f(RH,λ) together with the dry absorption measurement (assumed not to change with RH) allows the determination of the actual extinction coefficient σep(RH,λ) at ambient RH. In addition, a wide range of other aerosol properties were measured in parallel. The measurements were used to characterize the effects of RH on the aerosol optical properties. A closure study showed the consistency of the aerosol in-situ measurements. Due to the large variability of air mass origin (and thus aerosol composition) a simple parameterization of f(RH,λ) could not be established. If f(RH,λ) needs to be predicted, the chemical composition and size distribution needs to be known. Measurements of four MAX-DOAS (multi-axis differential optical absorption spectroscopy) instruments were used to retrieve vertical profiles of σep(λ). The values of the lowest layer were compared to the in-situ values after conversion of the latter to ambient RH. The comparison showed a good correlation of R2=0.62–0.78, but the extinction coefficients were a factor of 1.5–3.4 larger than the in-situ values. Best agreement is achieved for a few cases characterized by low aerosol optical depths and low planetary boundary layer heights. Differences showed to be dependent on the applied MAX-DOAS retrieval algorithm. The comparison of the in-situ data to a Raman lidar (light detection and ranging) showed a good correlation and higher values measured by the lidar (R2=0.79, slope of 1.81) if the Raman retrieved profile was used to extrapolate the directly measured extinction coefficient to the ground. The comparison improved if only nighttime measurements were used in the comparison (R2=0.93, slope of 1.19).
