Huh. They should have just worked from Jane Smiley's novel of interwoven horse-racing stories, Horse Heaven.
Michael Mann's in talks to direct the pilot episode of a new HBO series about horse racing, from the creator of Deadwood.

I've got to say I disagree with him. When the creator of a TV show decides not to be bound by the limits of having a complete little story arc for each and every episode, and decides not to be bound by conventional limits on acting and scriptwriting (why not try for Oscar/Academy Award winning acting, scriptwriting, and cinematography in a TV show?), then he or she is allowed to try and film a great story with well-developed characters ALSO without the time constraints of a 2-3 hour long film. It seems that Mr. McGee's main problem is that this sort of practice discourages easy entertainment and makes the viewer wait or be patient as the story is actually developed with some sort of depth.
... HBO justly gets credit for pushing the medium of television forward. Broadly speaking, you can pinpoint the start of the modern TV era with The Sopranos, a show wildly hailed for taking a novelistic approach to the small screen. Back then, the word "novelistic" was used in a metaphorical sense. It wasn't that David Chase literally applied the techniques used to construct a novel to his show. Rather, The Sopranos took a patient approach that rewarded sustained viewing. The promise that payoffs down the line would be that much sweeter for the journey didn't originate with the HBO mob drama, but the series turned into the boilerplate for what passes as critically relevant television.
But is this a good thing? The Sopranos opened up what was possible on television. But it also limited it. It seems silly to state that the addition of ambition to the medium has somehow hindered its growth, but making HBO the gold standard against which quality programming is judged has hurt television more than it's helped it. The A.V. Club's TV editor Todd VanDerWerff started pointing out the change in HBO's approach when, speaking of Game of Thrones, he noted something that had been in the back of my mind but not fully formulated until I heard him say it: HBO isn't in the business of producing episodes in the traditional manner. Rather, it airs equal slices of an overall story over a fixed series of weeks. If I may put words into his mouth: HBO doesn't air episodes of television, it airs installments.
This isn't merely a semantic difference that paints lipstick on the same pig. It's a fundamentally different way of viewing the function of an individual building block of a season, or series, of television. Calling The Sopranos a novelistic approach to the medium means praising both its new approach to television and its long-form storytelling. But HBO has shifted its model to produce televised novels, in which chapters unfold as part and parcel of a larger whole rather than serving the individual piece itself. Here's the problem: A television show is not a novel. That's not to put one above the other. It's simply meant to illuminate that each piece of art has to accomplish different things. HBO's apparent lack of awareness of this difference has filtered into its product, and also filtered into the product of nearly every other network as well.
Why is treating an episode as an installment a problem? An episode functions unto itself as a piece of entertainment, one that has an ebb and flow that can be enjoyed on its own terms. An installment serves the über-story of that season without regard for accomplishing anything substantial during its running time. The first three and a half hours of Luck are installments in the nine-hour story that is that show. Events happen, but they are shaped to the season first and the episode second. It's one thing to have a goal toward which everything is progressing. But episodes need to have goals as well. It's the difference between making people anticipate where the show is going, and making them wait for it ...
In other words, the creators of these sorts of shows are asking much more from the viewer. It's a challenge to commit to a show that may start slowly (or even patiently take the time to build something that doesn't guarantee a resolution or a cliffhanger every 30-45 minutes), but I say it's exactly the sort of show worth getting excited about. Most recently, Mysteries of Lisbon, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, Treme, and even Downton Abbey have all asked the viewer to raise his or her standards and to seek out the rewards of working through a story that is willing to go against the expectations of short attention spans. The result is a depth and complexity on the level of a classic novel - that is why the comparison keeps being made in the first place. When I think about my favorite old TV shows - Bonanza, Get Smart, The Avengers, etc. (or almost any TV show from the 1950s through the 1990s) - while they're all loveable and entertaining and all, they really don't ever try to be serious or great works of art. That's fine, but the fact remains that it's interesting that the creators of TV shows have now really only been trying for this over the last decade for the first time.
So the answer to Mr. McGee's question is no. The television works of David Chase, Terence Winter, David Simon, Bruno Heller, Daniel Knauf, David Milch, D.B. Weiss, David Benioff, Raul Ruiz or Julian Fellowes are not doing more harm than good. Creators like Joss Whedon and even Krzystof Kieslowski have proved that you can make something truly special with the episodic nature of an hour long TV series. But, in the age of increasingly popular reality TV shows, let's not discourage the guys who want to give us television in "installments."

I think this argument of "episodes" vs. "installments" is much ado about nothing. If the characters are interesting, that will keep me riveted, whether or not each episode ends with a cliffhanger or something more low-key. Too many efforts to artificially induce tension to keep people tuned-in can turn into a cliche. Good storytelling will win out in the end.

That's basically it. He says that novels and episodes are inherently different animals, and shows that value the season-long arc over the episode arc are missing the point of the medium. He doesn't support that assertion very well, though. I'd say it's the weakest part of his argument, although the overall tension he describes is interesting; I run into the same kind of thing with my master's thesis, which is a hybrid of novel and short story.
The same criticism has been levelled against modern comic books: that writers "write for the trade" (i.e. sacrifice the intelligibility of an individual issue because they know it will be collected in a six-issue trade paperback soon enough and want it to read well in that format).
Perhaps the fact that many of us consume our television on DVD or video-on-demand has changed things. I know I feel BREAKING BAD walks a nice line between balancing the overall story arc and individual episodes, at least in Season 4, which is the first I've watched on a weekly basis rather than on DVD/Blu-ray.
I think Jeremy's comments are fairly valid though. If a show is compelling enough, why begrudge them trying something different than immediate gratification. However, not all shows succeed at this. The return of THE WALKING DEAD has reminded me how many episodes in the first half dragged because NOTHING HAPPENED!
Oh, and I'll check out LUCK when I get a chance. Sounds interesting.

What the hell is going on? This could be a 4-5 season excellent show.
Wow. HBO has ceased production on the show.
Posted 15 March 2012 - 11:30 AM
From Alan Sepinwall:
Earlier in the week, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had asked the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and the Pasadena Humane Society to investigate the deaths of horses in the production of HBO's series "Luck," on which a third horse died this week. Filming of scenes that involve the use of horses had been shut down indefinitely after the third horse died Tuesday. The horse was euthanized after rearing, falling backward and hitting her head on the ground while being led back to her stall ...
PETA says the three dead horses were victims of "sloppy oversight."
In its statement, the AHA pointed out that the most recent death did not occur on set, while filming or during racing, but rather while the horse was being walked back to its barn by a groom. And yet, AHA boasted: "We immediately demanded that all production involving horses shut down. We are also insisting that this stoppage remain in full effect pending a complete, thorough and comprehensive investigation."
From Matt Zoller Seitz:
I'm having trouble processing the news that HBO has canceled the series after a third horse died during filming, early in production of the second season ... This is the third series in a row Milch has done for HBO, and the third to end more abruptly than he had planned. "Deadwood" was canceled after the third season (out of a planned four) for financial reasons, with Milch playing the good soldier and playing along with the story that he was really eager to move on to the metaphysical surfing drama "John from Cincinnati." (Though I continue to argue to this day that the final "Deadwood" episode actually works better as a series finale than planned, or than it works as a finale to the third season. Milch wrote an ending without realizing it.) "John" was a mess, creatively and financially, and HBO pulled the plug after only one season. "Luck," though, seemed in better shape. The ratings had been poor (averaging about 500,000 viewers for each Sunday premiere), despite a big marketing campaign and the presence of Hoffman and Nick Nolte in the cast, but many of the reviews (my own included) were strong, HBO had already renewed it for that second season, and Milch and Mann's working arrangement (where Mann was the final authority and Milch didn't get to do his usual last-second rewrites) made it a more under-control production than "Deadwood" or "John" had been. Even with the low ratings, it was easy to see "Luck" running a while, particularly if Hoffman and/or Nolte started picking up Emmys.
Then one horse died. And another. And then another. And given that this project was being made by people with a deep, deep passion for horses, at a certain point, they had to say that their art simply wasn't worth the cost of these animals' lives ...
Suddenly a question that had simmered deep in the background of discussions of the series — Is it morally defensible to risk animals' lives to make art? — threatened to become the only topic of discussion, persisting for however long the show might have ultimately run. I can imagine the moral calculus that series creator David Milch, a longtime horse owner and racetrack denizen, must have gone through when news broke yesterday that a horse had suddenly reared up during what apparently was a routine walk, fell backward, hit its head, and was euthanized on a veterinarian's orders ...
What made this case unique — and probably forced the decision to cancel, I'm guessing —- was the nature of the show itself. No drama in TV history has been built exclusively around horse racing and the daily life of a track. Hollywood has used horses during production for over a century. Horses have been getting hurt or killed in production for just as long, sometimes because of negligence or cruelty but more often because of simple probability. When a story is dependent upon horses, and said horses are frequently being ridden in front of cameras in spectacular or risky fashion, over time it becomes increasingly likely that one of them is going to be hurt, no matter how careful their trainers are or how intensely activists scrutinize the set. Horses are huge, skittish creatures with delicate legs. Every time a director calls action, the odds of a mishap go up ... Plus, the healthiest animals aren't going to be working on a TV show; they're going to be out on the track in regular competition, making money for their owners. And that adds to the risk factor. As my friend Maryann, a racing aficionado, told me yesterday, "Here's the show's conundrum: they can't use great thoroughbreds, too valuable. So they use older ones or ones that aren't running well. Well, that's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention the things are bred to a fare-thee-well anyway."

Here's the show's conundrum: they can't use great thoroughbreds, too valuable. So they use older ones or ones that aren't running well. Well, that's a recipe for disaster. Not to mention the things are bred to a fare-thee-well anyway.
That was my first thought when I heard how the third horse died. Although I'm not really a horse guy, my wife owns two, and a good part of my free time is spent tending to them and our property. Horses are big, beautiful, potentially-dangerous animals that are surprisingly fragile. A bad shoe can leave them crippled. The wrong kind of feed or not enough feed or too much feed can cause them to founder. And I'm talking about two lazy, old geldings. Even at the Kentucky Horse Park, where great thoroughbreds go to retire, handlers won't let visitors near the old racers; they're just too unpredictable. Horses that have been bred to be fast tend to rear. And sometimes when they rear they fall. And sometimes when they fall they have to be put down. Luck was in an untenable situation because it's pointless to make a show about horse racing without using racehorses, and they're a difficult lot to work with.

Cholesterol, BF
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Pleural Fluid:
Quantitation of cholesterol in body fluids is clinically important and relevant in particular to the diagnosis of a cholesterol effusion. Cholesterol effusions (also known as pseudochylothorax or chyliform effusion) are important to differentiate from chylothorax, as their etiologies and therapeutic management strategies differ. Pseudochylous or chyliform effusions accumulate gradually through the breakdown of cellular lipids in long-standing effusions such as rheumatoid pleuritis, tuberculosis, or myxedema and by definition the effluent contains high concentrations of cholesterol. The fluid may have a milky or opalescent appearance and be similar to that of a chylous effusion, which contains high concentrations of triglycerides in the form of chylomicrons. An elevated cholesterol >250 mg/dL defines a cholesterol effusion in pleural fluid.
Peritoneal Fluid:
Ascites is the pathologic accumulation of excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Cholesterol analysis in peritoneal fluid may be a useful index to separate malignant ascites (>45-48 mg/dL) from cirrhotic ascites. Using a cutoff value of 48 mg/dL, the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and overall diagnostic accuracy for differentiating malignant from nonmalignant ascites were reported as 96.5%, 96.6%, 93.3%, 98.3%, and 96.6%, respectively.(1)
Synovial Fluid:
Normal synovial fluid contains extremely low concentrations of lipids. Abnormalities in synovial fluid lipids may be attributed to cholesterol-rich pseudochylous effusions which may be associated with chronic rheumatoid arthritis, lipid droplets due to traumatic injury and rarely due to severe chylous effusions associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, filariasis, pancreatitis, and trauma.(1) However, these diseases can usually be differentiated clinically and by gross and microscopic examination; quantification of lipids in synovial fluid only provides supporting information to the clinical picture.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Distinguishing between chylous and nonchylous effusions
Identifying iatrogenic effusions
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Not applicable
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test cannot be performed on viscous fluids.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Ana recently gave an interview to wimbledon.com about the grass court Grand Slam. It is reproduced here:
Why I love Wimbledon: "It's such a special tournament. Everything about it is unique, like nothing else we have in tennis. I fell in love with it the first time I visited as a junior – it definitely lived up to my expectations."
My first memory of watching Wimbledon on television or in person: "I wasn't able to watch much as a kid because in those days it wasn't shown much in Serbia. But I remember some matches from my teens, for example Goran Ivanisevic winning it, and Lleyton Hewitt, too."
How I like to relax in Wimbledon between matches: "It's great that we have the opportunity to stay in houses close to the Club, so I enjoy just going back to my place and relaxing around the house. It's cosy and the area of Wimbledon is nice and tranquil. And, probably more than at any other tournament, Wimbledon is the place where I watch the most tennis on TV, back at my house."
The player from the past I would like to face on Centre Court, and why: "Martina Navratilova, because she was such a great player on grass and obviously has a very special history with Wimbledon."
My first memory of competing at Wimbledon: "I first played as a junior 11 years ago. It's amazing to think how time has flown by. I remember being with my coach and family and everything was new and exciting for us. I remember playing Kirsten Flipkens: it was the first time that one of my matches was postponed overnight."
My Wimbledon highlight: "It would have to be reaching the semis in 2007. I had just played my first Grand Slam final, at Roland Garros, and I didn't know what to expect from Wimbledon because I was a little tired mentally. I played some very good matches and the one that I think back to is the quarter-final against Nicole Vaidisova, when I saved match points."
The one match at Wimbledon I would like the chance to play again, and why: "I'd like to play my semi against Venus again. She played really well that day but I could have done better and I was carrying a small injury too."
My favourite Wimbledon tradition: "The rain delays."
How I spend my time during a rain delay: "I usually go back to the locker room and read, listen to music. Before and after matches I like to catch up with my friends like Sorana Cirstea and Kirsten Flipkens, but during rain delays I usually don't socialise much."
How I adapt my game to grass: "I play a little more backhand slice and I try to be more aggressive on my serve. There is a difference in the mentality too, because you have to be ultra-alert, knowing that it's important to take the initiative and make the first big strike in a rally, otherwise you are going to be on the back foot. In the weeks leading up to The Championships I do a lot of glute exercises, because it's a big change in the movement: from sliding on clay to getting down low on the grass."

Looking for some information on a safety bullitin put out on the miller load bank a couple of years ago. I know this a kind of vague post but I have a concern that I may have an antiquated unit. Seems to me there was an issue with the Knife edge switches chaffing thru and energizing the switch. Might be wrong about the content of the bullitin all together but worth looking into.
Mainly used the bank for service of the Syncrowave 350's, 351, and 300's. I have recently upgraded the School to Dynasty 200DX and 300DX units.
Looking to switch to the LBP-350 portable if possible.
Thanks for the feedback in advance.

It was the scene of nearly half a century of great memories - from the earliest (and latest) days of Hank Aaron's brilliance, to the 1957 World Series Championship, to Warren Spahn's no-hitter, to Stan Musial's game-winning 12th-inning homer to win the 1955 All-Star Game, to the 1982 Wallbangers' wild ride to the World Series, County Stadium in Milwaukee was home to an amazing history of Braves and Brewers baseball. But, by the late 1990s, it was clearly past its prime; finally, in 2000, the old dog was ready to be put out to pasture, with the revolutionary Miller Park finally ready for occupancy to start the 2001 season. As the end of the 2000 season approached, the nostalgic crowds swelled, and for the final game on September 28 against the Cincinnati Reds, a jam-packed group of Milwaukee sports fanatics turned the ending of another disappointing Brewers season into a true celebration. It didn't matter that the Crew was down 8-1 heading into the final inning; everyone spent the final frame on his or her feet, and as Elmer Dessens unloaded a 1-2 fastball to Mark Loretta, whose groundout to short is about to place him in the annals of trivia and history - SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall.
This incredible panoramic poster commemorates the final moments of baseball at the home of Aaron, Spahn, Sain, Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Jim Gantner, Rollie Fingers, B.J. Surhoff, Geoff Jenkins, and the rest of the fan-favorites over the years. Captured by the lens of noted sports photographer Rob Arra, this print features a memorable third-base-line view of County Stadium from that historic moment, bringing back a flood of memories with every glance! From the double-deck grandstand, to the raucous bleachers, to the mascot's beer stein home run slide, to the perfectly groomed field, to the new Miller Park rising spectacularly beyond the outfield fence, to the players on the field and the fans on the stand, it's all here, in perfect focus, ready to take its rightful place on the wall of any true Brewers fan! A stunning poster and historic collector's item, worthy of a nice frame and a prominent spot at home or office.

CORNING — Lisa Brown of Corning knows how to survive in a man's world. Brown, 53, is a volunteer firefighter for Corning Volunteer Fire Department and a paramedic.
"My forte was in the medical field to start with, and when I joined the fire department, that's always been my love, so I kind of go that direction," said Brown.
Brown has been involved with the department since 2004, and is also a safety officer.
"Nothing beats that feeling of being able to help somebody, whether it be medical or whether it be their house is on fire, and you can do everything you can. I guess it's just instilled in me," Brown said.
One of the guys
"From day one, they never made it 'You're a female, you can't do this.' This department has been just phenomenal about bringing females on board," Brown said.
There are four female firefighters on Corning Volunteer Fire Department.
"I don't know if it's like that for every department, but for this one, I mean, kudos to the entire department because they've been wonderful. And, we all get along. I mean, we have a really good team," said Brown.
Brown said being alongside the other firefighters as a team made her feel part of the group.
"Not one time did I ever feel like an outcast or shunned aside," Brown said. "They just took every one of us in unconditionally."
Besides working alongside the other firefighters, and doing things that women are traditionally more prone to doing, such as organizing get-togethers and Christmas parties, there is a camaraderie between everyone.
"There is a lot of teasing back and forth, but it's not really gender-wise. It's just general teasing," Brown said. "Actually, we probably tease more than the guys do. We can hold our own."
Brown has been to many fires and medical calls while on the fire department.
"Probably the most excited I've seen her was when her boss's place of business caught on fire," said Corning Volunteer Fire Chief Don Willits.
In November 2011, Brown's employer for 10 years, R & S Auto Sales, had a fire in the shop. Brown called 911 for her employer.
"I was trying to play both ends of that one because I couldn't come up and be on the trucks because he (Willits) was out of state," Brown said. "So, I kind of had to take care of the business part of it."
Brown said her training helped significantly because she knew how to respond.
"The first thing I did was get everybody out," said Brown. "So, I'm trying to work with them (the fire department) and it was helpful in that I knew where we had chemicals. I knew what was going to be a threat, but I didn't have my gear on so I was playing both hats."
Brown also responded to a call of a shed fire May 28. The shed, owned by Doug and Debbie Bowman, contained a boat, forklift, fifth-wheel trailer and pickup trucks. Damage estimate was between $500,000 and $750,000.
Firefighters from Corning, Prescott and Massena departments were on scene for approximately six hours.
"There's very few of us who work in town and are able to go and that happened to be one of them," Brown said. "When we pulled up on scene, someone basically takes the command, which is usually Donnie (the fire chief). Donnie was gone, so our next in line was also one of our captains, who is going to be fighting the fires. So, he threw me in that position."
While on scene, Brown had to coordinate mutual aid departments coming in, as well as checking the safety of the Corning firefighters. She made sure they had proper equipment and backup, and checked that they were getting the proper rehabilitation after coming out of the fire.
"You try not to have too many chiefs, as they say. You have to have coordination, and you got to have the right kind of people in the right places so everybody's not doing their own thing," Brown said. "That's where the command system comes in, and we've all been trained on that. ... It makes it safer for everybody."
Brown is originally from Corning, but moved to Arizona when she was younger. She graduated from high school in Arizona, and moved back to the area as an adult.
"I'm also a paramedic, and so I was kind of in that field for awhile," said Brown. "I've been involved with this department forever, even when I wasn't on here, helping out, doing stuff. Just kind of got officially back on again a couple years ago."
Brown earned a degree from Mercy School of Medicine in Des Moines in 1987. She was certified in Firefighter I in 2000, and was on the Prescott Volunteer Fire Department until she and husband Mike Brown moved to Corning in 2004.
She is also a medical legal death investigator for Adams and Taylor counties and is on the state and federal mortuary teams, which are called to aid during disasters in the state or worldwide.
"It (firefighting) involves your family, whether they're on the department or not because when you get called out at night, you get called out from a birthday party or a family dinner, it does affect your family," Brown said. "So, you have to have the support."
Brown has two sons, Justin and Josh Cooper, and three grandchildren.

I have had these tires less than a year and have not driven but 20,000 miles on them. Headed to the tire dealer again today to replace the 3rd tire in under a year. All three have gotten knots on the sidewall. I will not buy these again. Just waiting for the warranty to expire so I can go get real tires. I do not recommend.

A chalazion is a small bump in the eyelid caused by a blockage of a tiny oil gland.
Meibomian gland lipogranuloma
An exam of the eyelid confirms the diagnosis.
Rarely, skin cancer of the eyelid may look like a chalazion. If this is suspected, you may need a biopsy.
A chalazion will often disappear without treatment in a month or so.
If the chalazion continues to get bigger, it may need to be removed with surgery. This is most often done from the inside of the eyelid to avoid a scar on the skin.
Steroid injection is another treatment option.
Chalazia usually heal on their own. The outcome with treatment is usually excellent.
Call your health care provider if lumps on the eyelid continue to get bigger despite treatment, or you have an area of eyelash loss.
To prevent chalazia or styes, it may help to gently scrub the edge of the lid at the eyelash line nightly. Use eye cleansing
pads or diluted baby shampoo.
Apply antibiotic ointment prescribed by your health care provider after scrubbing the eyelids.

Struggling to get the bf sweater done for christmas but I have managed to make 3 hats and working on a fourth which he has said he would like -tg.
I needed a quick final Christmas present for a friend that doesn't really like to wear wool. I found this, the Victorian Spring Scarf, it's in an Aran weight mostly viscose yarn.
Thanks everyone who made a kind request for these. I'll post them shortly. They were ridiculously easy.
Several months ago, I saw a copy of a tag someone worked up to give with their handknit, woolen gifts for instructing the receiver how to care for, launder, etc. the gift.
...and it's a very good thing!!!
Atttached are the files for the two latest designs I've put up over at MMarioKKnits. Neither has been test knit yet....both are circular.
I just published a pattern for the first time on Ravelry and made it a free download. You will find it if you look me up; I'm "Asplund" there too.

Manchester plans to create bike lanes in downtown area
MANCHESTER — The city could see what will likely be its first bike lanes in the coming months.
As it completes sewer main work, the Department of Public Works intends to stripe lanes on Chestnut Street downtown, from Merrimack Street to Auburn Street, and on Wellington Road on the east side.
Todd Connors, the department's engineering manager, told the aldermen's public safety committee on Monday that the sewer work was an opportunity to create the lanes because all road markings on those streets had to be repainted.
He said the streets had already been identified as promising locations for lanes as city officials and cycling advocates develop a bicycle and pedestrian master plan, a process that has been underway since the fall.
"The idea is to take a second and hard look at the street system and determine whether there is an opportunity to accommodate bike lanes," he said. "A lot of times lanes are wider than they need be and we have an opportunity to put lanes on some of the streets where they will be utilized."
The lane on Chestnut Street, which runs south, would be the first phase of a plan to add downtown lanes. A second phase, to begin in 2016, would take the lane from Merrimack Street to Bridge Street. A third phase, with no projected start date, would add a lane the length of the northbound Pine Street, a block east of Chestnut.
The lanes would run on both sides of Wellington Road, from Linda Lane to the Londonderry Turnpike.
The lane on Chestnut would be six feet wide and run between the parking lane and the two lanes of traffic. It would be set part with a dotted line and icons on the street and there would be street signs as well. Signage would be proposed to the committee at a later date.
The bicycle and pedestrian master plan is being funded with a $15,000 grant from a state nonprofit group awarded in the fall. The plan is expected to be complete by the end of the year.
The committee was not asked to vote on the plan, but responded favorably to it.

Questions: Transverse Link (rear bushing)
Posted 16 October 2011 - 11:34 AM
Question One: Does the arm have to be removed from the car to replace the part? It seems to me that the two bolts holding the rear of the arm could be removed; remove the nut that retains the bushing; pry down the transverse link just enough to remove the bushing; remove and replace. If I can get away with this I can probably save myself the cost of an alignment.
Or, am I just being too cheap? Drop the link, do the job, and take it in for alignment.
Question two: I have not been able to find this part available as a counter replacement item. Is this a dealer only part? The dealer quoted it at $126 or so. I have the amount in the car not in front of me as I type out this out.

Replacement is fairly straightforward, it can be done as you described and no alignment is necessary afterward.
The nut holding it to the control arm is extremely TIGHT though. You'll need a breaker bar and 1/2" drive socket, and maybe a cheater pipe to get that thing loose. Impact wrench is the easy way out on this if you can get the arm pulled down far enough to get room for it.

I was off the lift in 30 minutes and could have been done in half that if I had rushed through it.

Yeah this is one of the easier repairs on a Subaru., assuming you don't live in the rust belt.
I did one on my sedan, with the help of a mega high power impact wrench (some kind of Mac Tools wrench) that belongs to one of the techs at work, had it done in probably 10 minutes.

Just replaced the one on the drivers side on my car. Had been leaking for several months and the clunking and weaving around (tram lining) at higher speeds are certainly not missed.

is this the same part you are talking about? easy to replace? expensive?
will marking the cam bolt position avoid having to reset the toe-in after the job?

No alignment adjustments are necessary when replacing the transverse link rear bushing, although Subaru specifies 1.5mm clearance between the large washer and the housing of the bushing, set by prying the housing forward before tightening the chassis bolts.
Trailing arm or lateral link bushing replacement may require some adjustment and/or marking the cam bolts before removing.

I have some Prothane replacements for the TVL bushing (front LCA, rear bushing)
It appears the original unit is designed to flex - in a rotational manner, not slip/slide. Yet, I have packets of lubricant with the prothane parts.
I assume, maybe wrongly, the lube goes in the contact area outside the new bushing/inside the mount (after I remove the old bushing's sleeve)
Posted 06 October 2012 - 12:31 AM
Posted 06 October 2012 - 01:16 AM
I would guess that lubricant is for pressing the urethane bushings into the metal housing? if I'm understanding the aftermarket product properly this might be something you want to pay a machine shop to press in. unless you own a solid vice that can apply pressure very evenly, this I would attempt a wheel bearing not so much.
they don't have a metal outer sleeve.(though some poly bushings do press in as you suggest) I haven't done it yet, But i expect to push the pieces in by hand. Dunno, maybe I'll have to stand on them.
Just kinda wondering about the apparent difference in 'function/application'. OEM seems to limit rotation, the prothane seems to require slippage.
just seems odd.

polyurethane bushings are two peice, with a hollow spacer (steel sleeve) in the center that is free to move. They're done that way because its easier for the DIYer to install without needing a press or other special tools. Because of the design they have to be lubricated or the friction between the bushing and center sleeve will wear away the polyurethane.
yeah, that's reasonable - it just seems like they violate part of the engineering reason the bushing is there to begin with if the arm's 'freedom of travel' needs to be limited.
Oh I plan to lube the h3ll out of it - to ward off groaning or squeaking. But I never really thought about straight-up wear. It's certainly gonna be exposed to serious grime down there.
Posted 06 October 2012 - 11:24 AM
The stock bushing is designed to allow flex for rotational movement but is easily damaged if not installed with the suspension in its normally loaded position. The poly bushings can be installed with the suspension in pretty much any position, and allow full rotational movement without damaging the bushing.
Posted 07 October 2012 - 12:48 AM
I think these fail a little early because, like the inner tripod socket boots, they are near the exhaust. 9 years isn't that bad a run, but it's only 70K miles or so.
Posted 07 October 2012 - 11:41 AM
Now I have done quite a few factory replacements but there are a couple things to do to upgrade them. First off, you can buy a complete bushing in holder and install it or you can buy just a bushing and press it into the factory aluminum holder. The latter of the two doesn't really require lubing as its a pressed in bushing that has the metal insert built into the bushing but the ones with separate bushings, metal inserts and holders require lubing at least once a year to protect the bushing from tearing or making noise.
If to replace these bushings, remember to tighten the large 22mm nut with the suspension LOADED or else it can preload the bushing weird and tear it quicker.
Posted 07 October 2012 - 11:55 PM
Those factory bushing are actually fluid filled and after many miles, the rubber will eventually crack and let the oil out of them. This will then cause caster changes while driving down the road as there is now less resistance so the control arm will shift around easier.

yeah, evidently, you are supposed to mark/align a new factory mount, and i assume a new press-in OEM-style bushing. You mark the mount-to-arm position, then make sure the new stuff gets put back on in the same orientation.
But every part of the Prothane kit seems able to rotate (indeed, it's all lubricated) so, that particular issue can be ignored.
I took notes and pictures and may write the procedure up in this or a new thread. There may be a little more NVH than before, hard to tell for certain. Honestly, I'd say it'sa dice toss on the poly bushings over springing for OEM. But, I did save some money. Basically, it's all the same removal/installation, but with the added hassle and mess of removing the old bushing from the mount. But without the need to align the new mount to the arm or measure any offset.
hope they last
Posted 11 October 2012 - 12:16 PM
I'm really going to make a concerted effort to start pulling these from the junk yard as both myself and a friend with an 99OBS need the same bushing.
Anyone interested in buying a used set of bushings that are inspected and tested? I'm thinking $40 shipped. the picknpulls near me are full of these.
Posted 11 October 2012 - 12:45 PM
here's my write up on the process;http://www.subaruout...03-outback.html
bottom line, unless you're doing it for motorsports reason, try to stay with OEM or you will have increased harshness/'shock' from the Prothane. dunno about any other aftermarket replacement.

Is it a coincidence that Three Of The Possessed has the same acronym as legendary British music show Top Of The Pops? We'll never tell, but we can say that this design collective's prints are intrinsically connected to music as the idea for each artwork comes from a song. The pieces are filled to the brim with polyhedral shapes, snazzy color gradients, and geometric graphic gorgeousness. Poptastic!

Ohh wow you dec have to let me know where you got that from. I've been looking for white stitched dolphins jerseys everywhere!!
If you guys have links, just PM each other all good............
The jersey looks sick. I think the Phins should lose the blue in the very back. Aqua , white and orange looks cool. I want one. Just need to get thing in order before i spend on perks..
Wearing it, the numbers and Tannehill name on back, since its all stitched and not screenprinted makes it feel stiff. I'm sure after lots of use and a couple of washes it'll soften up. Overall the quality is really Awesome! For $69 bucks you can't go wrong and I'm sure the stitching last longer than the screenprinted through a wash. Prob gotta break it in like a baseball glove.
If you hold it up to your ear you can hear small children crying.

Brookline bids farewell to a valuable man
BROOKLINE - Sometimes the value of the work volunteers do for a town goes unnoticed, but as the man who has helped Brookline maintain its information technology for years moves on, the town wants to make sure he knows how much he is appreciated.
According to Town Administrator Tad Putney, the town knew that Russ Heinselman had provided a tremendous service to the town for nearly 20 years, volunteering to take care of the computers and networks in Town Hall, the ambulance facility, the fire station and the library.
"He's been doing the updating, the trouble shooting, even purchasing new equipment for years," said Putney, "and he's been doing it in that true Yankee spirit of working frugally without sacrificing efficiency."
But the town didn't realize just how much Heinselman had saved them in IT costs over the years until he announced that he and his wife were downsizing and moving out of town.
"We decided we need to find a service provider to do the work Russ had been doing," Putney said, "and it turns out it's going to cost us around $35,000 a year for the same service Russ has been doing for free. Sometimes you don't know how valuable someone has really been until he has to leave."
Putney said the town doesn't want Heinselman to go away not knowing how important he's been to Brookline, so on Monday night, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., the board of selectmen will be hosting an open house at Town Hall to thank Heinselman for his years of dedication and service.
"We're inviting residents in to thank him, to honor him, and to wish Russ and his wife, Barbara, well in the next stage of their lives," said Putney.
The open house will also be shown on the town's community television station so that folks across town can be part of honoring Heinselman.

Great rollers
By Biking Dood
from Somewhere in the Rockies
Great rollers at a great price, not much more to say here. They are solid, stable, adjustable, drums are cleanly machined and true rolling. With this sized roller, it's simple to attain a fair amount of resistance using a high gear. You cadence will improve and so will your core engagement and balance. I can't imagine paying more than twice as much for the k-brand. Highly recommended.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comes fully assembled. easy to clean. Fully adjustable for different size tires.
Rolling in the Living Room
By Tri1
from Saint Louis
These rollers reproduce the feel of riding a flat road outside. Use your chain ring and cogs to adjust from easy to hard effort.These rollers are fairly noisy on a yoga mat in a room with hard floors. However, they are quiet in a carpeted room with couches.There is a learning curve with rollers. Be sure to place the rollers next to something sturdy you can grab onto for balance. Use them every day (for a least 5 minutes) and by the 6th day you will be confidently riding the rollers for as long as you like. These rollers also work with the kreitler front fork stand. The stand allows for single leg and aero bar riding without having to balance or worry about crashing or adjusting the rollers in any way. For other riders in the family, the fork stand allows the rollers to be used like a rear wheel trainer.
excellent value
By hazben
from little rock, ar
Love that I can go straight from the street to the rollers without having to modify bike. Probably took me a month to get semi-comfortable on rollers. Used them regularly for a year with little signs of wear. You will need a fan in front of you. Strongly recommend attaching a corner of a towel to each hood then attach the other 2 corners behind or under the saddle. I did not and due to sweating have corrosion issues with several of the bikes components. You can also modify the rollers with magnets (search the net)if more resistance is desired. Sprint type intervals are extremely difficult on rollers due to my inability to stand up on rollers and really hammer.
Takes a little getting used to.
By None
from Worcester, NY
Roller is an excellent quick workout, as you must get up to speed quickly and maintain that speed to balance.Mostly need to start out in a door way to maintain balance for initial 30 seconds or so.
Great value
By Svet
from New York, NY
I cannot compare to other rollers so I don't give it the maximum stars. Came assembled, was very easy to adjust. Gets the job done - improves pedal stroke, balance you have to stay focused. Quite a workout. Did not take me more than 10 minutes to be comfortable. Key is not to overcorrect. Just slight twitches helps you go straight. The faster you pedal the more stable it feels and you also burn more calories. Gets you worked up pretty quickly, need a big fan as someone else mentioned and a lot of water.

Great quality. Quiet.
By Karl Roberts
from Stoney Creek, Onterio, Canada
Much better quality than I expected. I had Minoura MagRollers before and these are way better. Very quiet. Great workout. I purchased an extra belt while ordering. *Look for a 25% Nashbar coupon before buying. I use my Langster fixed track bike on it with the tyres pumped to 120psi. The smoother the tyres, the quiter the machine will be. PUT A FAN IN FRONT OF YOU. You will sweat a lot, unless you use a fan. Also, put a towel on the floor under the machine. Great workout for the core muscles. Takes about 10-20 minutes until you feel comfortable. Practice in a door jamb, and center yourself using your elbows.
Good skils workout, good value
By sinikl
from Durham, NC
I got these instead of a fluid trainer because i wanted to improve skills, and these definitely help. I use them with my fixed gear, and the learning curve (staying upright and on the rollers) is steep, especially riding fixed. They identified dead spots in my stroke and smoothed it out a ton. Bike control is also hugely improved; I can now ride on the white line of a road for miles and paceline 12-18 inches off another rider without actively thinking about it. Even things like drinking or moving from tops to drops is hard at first, but once you get it on the rollers you will be rock solid in a bunch ride. The workout is intense - get a good fan and prepare to sweat. I can only push 48x15 on these in an interval workout for about a half hour before i'm spent -- i think the smaller roller diameter helps here but i've never ridden bigger diameter rollers. I have a set of wheels with a stiffer gear and cheap tires I use for harder workouts but can just throw the bike on in street trim and have a nice long spin at 48x18. Set up in a doorway or hallway in case things get hairy-- you can just lean over against the wall instead of riding off accidentally. I watch movies on my laptop set up down the hall from me to help focus on a point in the distance.
