Running rough today. Fuel related?
Out driving earlier today for about 35 miles or so, and was running errands and so forth, just before the the last stop I noticed the truck was getting a little sluggish. Pulled over and it almost died. I decided to shut it off while I made my last stop. Approximately 1 hour later I came back and it didn't start. I tried a couple of times before deciding not to wear the starter out anymore because it just wouldn't start and sustain an idle. It tried to start but it was almost like it was starving for fuel.
So then I got out and hit the pressure release behind the filter, then closed it back off, then it started right up, ran choppy for a few seconds and then ran okay on the way home. It didn't miss or run bad until I pulled it in the driveway about 4 miles away from the parking lot.
Someone told me that a certain O-Ring under the intake that was oil pressure related could allow for less vacuum to carry the fuel appropriately if this O-Ring was leaking or not properly sealed? Is this possibly the problem?
Or should I just pull the fuel filter, examine it, and then replace if needed and go from there?
Oh yeah, last thing, once it finally started it put out a nice film of blue smoke from the exhaust. Of course it does that on cold startups too but it always goes away.

not sure
Not really sure but i would deff check ur filter but it shouldnt be that bad to allow it not to run another thing maybe check ur frame mounted fuel pump to see if thats working right. Other than that i do not know enough i just bought my first diesel and only know the basics about it but i would check the fuel pump first. the first thing to come to my mind would be the frame mounted pump, the filter or hopefully not the injection pump. For poops and giggles have autozone run a scan tool for free to c if it throws up a code, who knows
Well, since it happens so often, I'm gonna ask if you swapped out the CPS?
Second, while idling, if you pull the ICP sensor does the truck suddenly smooth out?
Do you have anyone near you with AE? or some sort of scan tool, atleast so you know what codes you have?
It doesn't happen that often. It just started yesterday. Also, we put in a new fuel pump just under 4000 miles ago and I can't remember if it was a Genuine Ford pump or an aftermarket pump. I tend to say that it was aftermarket from a local parts store like Autozone Carquest maybe???
I'll try the ICP next time I'm able to get it to idle. Haven't started it again since I shut it off in the driveway yesterday, and when I got it home it got choppy again. Once or twice it "romped" then picked up a choppy idle.
Last thing, help with "AE" Is that a scanner? If so what does the AE stand for?
Meantime, I'll try to pull the codes with a scan.
I would pull the filer out and change it. then with the filter out make sure the fuel bowl will fill up with fuel.
AE is Auto Enginuity, It is the most accurate way to scan our trucks for codes a lot of the standard scanners can not properly read codes on these trucks.
what is the best fuel filter to use? If it's the filter, then I think I'm gonna just buy the cheapest ones to put in there. I figure, if it's the filter then it's MAYBE 4000 miles that I've gotten out of it. And why replace a GOOD filter with something that might get close to 4000 miles.
But if I decide for the best or a very good filter, which should I use?
Try pulling your fuel filter and see if you have any debris in bottom of housing-anything black ie.-small black pieces that could be deposits of some kind?
Maybe if that's the case could have gotten caught up in fuel pressure regulator spring?
Just something to look for.
I like the wix filters-been ok so far-but maybe somebody knows of a better one-lots of knowledge on here!
Thanks man. Can you help me more with the fuel pressure regulator spring? How can I check that part too? And is it easy to get to?
I just was reading a thread about the filter seperator valve and how the o-rings can leak in those valves, and that sometimes when the o-rings leak out diesel fuel, they can also draw in air. Wondering if this might be the problem, or maybe even part of the problem?
I can try,the pressure reg. is on the right side of filter housing-with the return fuel line attatched,take off the fuel line and take out the 2 screws holding the cap on.
Inside you'll see the orings,spring and poppet valve and seat.
But I would look for anything black in bottom of housing first.
The drain orings can leak fuel-not sure if they could suck air or not since
the whole housing is on positive pressure side of fuel pump-but anythings possible.
Can you find your drain line from filter on pass side-hook up a small hose on it and get get fuel sample in glass to see if oil may be getting in before you pull fuel filter?
Just some cheap stuff to check.
Did you find anyone with a code reader?

Oh, and I also want it to be simple, that i and others could expound upon themselves, and yes i did notice master's mks
I've been reading through the forums like mad for the last week (since i found this site) and searching the net for almost a month, and still am unable to find a good, high power, dc-dc, regulated power supply, anyone want to just kick out some ideas?
Oh, and I also want it to be simple, that i and others could expound upon themselves, and yes i did notice master's mks
use a lower power system
Signature: [==||========] 20% complete
Build a Sproggy...
Oh.. You wanted it SIMPLE
Those are your two options. Build a sproggy or go with a lower-power setup.
Deal with it or do something to create a better option for yourself and/or the rest of us.
That's about what I expected, thanks anyway guyz.
I'm still working on it, and if I do come up with anything i'll post it
What is it you're wanting to power?
List it here, and we'll tell you what to do.
well, anything that comes from Mastero generally isn't that great, or well designed...
I have been working on a switchmode PSU that is basically the same as a mains powered one, but that will run off 10-16 volts...
so, instead of using underrated switchmode ICs for each rail, there will be a single switchmode controller IC, and a transformer with multiple secondary windings for each rail
ummm... should be good for 300watts, and fairly small... reliable, and easy to build... only thing is, you have to wind your own transformer..
That sounds good, I'd like to see some plans if it works out.
i want to power a some stuff i have laying around, i think it's around 500mhz on an atx board, onboard video-might use a vid card if i want/need svideo or composite out, sound blaster 5.1 card, and a standard dvd drive. that's the base anyway, but i want to get that worked out first and have plenty of power left over for add-ons...
You realize you will be pulling 25 Amps through the primary windings (assuming 100% efficiency). It will have to be a specialized transformer indeed! It can be done, but you'll be dealing with very high switch frequencies, and a very tight transformer design. Not to criticize or anything, but youre not the first poster to promise the world. If you pull it off you'll be a hero around here .should be good for 300watts
i have an idea for making a high current voltage regulator out of an old multimeter and some caps....i know it sounds crazy, buy i don't really have anything to lose by trying...

Effects of Brand Preference, Product Attributes, and Marketing Mix Variables in Technology Product Markets
We develop a demand model for technology products that captures the effect of changes in the portfolio of models offered by a brand as well as the influence of the dynamics in its intrinsic preference on that brand's performance. To account for the potential correlation in the preferences of models offered by a particular brand, we use a nested logit model with the brand (e.g., Sony) at the upper level and its various models (e.g., Mavica, FD, DSC, etc.) at the lower level of the nest. Relative model preferences are captured via their attributes and prices. We allow for heterogeneity across consumers in their preferences for these attributes and in their price sensitivities in addition to heterogeneity in consumers' intrinsic brand preferences. Together with the nested logit assumption, this allows for a flexible substitution pattern across models at the aggregate level. The attractiveness of a brand's product line changes over time with entry and exit of new models and with changes in attribute and price levels. To allow for time-varying intrinsic brand preferences, we use a state-space model based on the Kalman filter, which captures the influence of marketing actions such as brand-level advertising on the dynamics of intrinsic brand preferences. Hence, the proposed model accounts for the effects of brand preferences, model attributes and marketing mix variables on consumer choice. First, we carry out a simulation study to ensure that our estimation procedure is able to recover the true parameters generating the data. Then, we estimate our model parameters on data for the U.S. digital camera market. Overall, we find that the effect of dynamics in the intrinsic brand preference is greater than the corresponding effect of the dynamics in the brand's product line attractiveness. Assuming plausible profit margins, we evaluate the effect of increasing the advertising expenditures for the largest and the smallest brands in this category and find that these brands can increase their profitability by increasing their advertising expenditures. We also analyze the impact of modifying a camera model's attributes on its profits. Such an analysis could potentially be used to evaluate if product development efforts would be profitable.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Some 5,000 Palestinian Arab teenagers in the Gaza Strip have learned how to shoot Kalashnikov rifles, fire rockets and hurl hand grenades at the behest of the Hamas education ministry, Britain's The Guardian reported.
The course, which began last September, is being offered to an estimated 37,000 teens aged 15 to 17.
Special camps held during school breaks and summer vacation supplement the course with training on explosives and firearms.
Mohammed Syam, general director of the Hamas education ministry, says the program is not about military training and only 1 percent of the course material focuses on weapons, but a video posted on YouTube seems to indicate otherwise.
The video, shot at a school near Gaza City, shows an attack on a mock watchtower flying an Israeli flag.
According to the report, al-Mezan, a Gaza-based human rights organization, had nothing positive to say about the course.
"It's unbelievable," Samir Zakout said. "Hamas has been cutting sports activities in schools for the past six years, saying there is no time in the curriculum, but now they find the time to have military training inside schools."
"They should not be doing this," Zakout continued. "It's building a military culture, familiarizing boys with resistance and creating the next generation of militants."
According to the report, the Hamas government may offer the course to girls in the fall. Hamas recently decided boys and girls should be in separate schools after age nine.

Have you heard of or read this blog? Do you think the author's incessant negativity towards natural childbirth (especially homebirth) is effective or conducive to better outcomes for women? And do you agree with her views?
The Skeptical OB
"And thus it was told: children must wear earmuffs when outside the home, lest the devil intercede" Poops 420:69 T-GUM
I read her regularly and think she's great - I completely agree with her, and think she provides a voice of reason amidst the woo.
Lol, Dr. Amy get off this thread
Because I can tell you, what she's doing works directly against these goals.
What kind of fuckery is this?
I find it offensive that people keep referring to her as "Dr" Amy. She has a medical degree-you imply that she's not a real Dr.
If God exists, she's pro-choice
Progressive, socialist natural-minded mom to K (5/30/09) and I (10/26/12)
meandyou--How is what she is doing any different than extreme homebirth advocates. Why is it acceptable for them to "scare off" those who look into a hospital birth, but not the other way around?
I've been to jail, but never prison.
Anyone who advocates routine episiotomies and denying laboring women any nutrition at all is never going to be able to earn my respect. Those are blatant examples of non-evdence based practices designed to make the doctor's life easier to the detriment of the woman.
If I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again and CTT, I would love to pursue the possibility of a home birth. I hated my hospital experiences because of the constant bullying and pressure to consent to interventions. And this is coming from someone who has lost a child to abruption. In a hospital. For the record, I did not try to refuse interventions on my abruption - that was not a part of the issue in that situation.
Dr can also be a PhD or a PharmD or a DDS it's not a title reserved for those who have graduated medical school.
Give a poor man $100 and he will spend it because he has to. Give a rich man $100 and he will do nothing because he can.
What she's doing? She's not changing anything within hospitals, nor is she trying to change anything within homebirthing.
"And thus it was told: children must wear earmuffs when outside the home, lest the devil intercede" Poops 420:69 T-GUM
they have a good basis to believe that our hospitals are not giving the best birthing care and so many do not.
But obviously the same can be said about subpar homebirthing midwives, centers, doulas, etc. Just look at the Hurt by Homebirth website she linked. Just as tragic as hospitals. I'm not advocating this woman's site, or even her information, merely stating that it is no different than those with polarizing views who champion homebirthing. You can say it is safe all you want, but for people like me, it would have been a death sentence. Just as provaccination sites detail the drop in deaths related to preventable diseases, there has been a serious drop in mortality rates since a century ago, when homebirths were more common.
While Jezebel may not be an unbiased website, this is from an article last year:
"When compared to hospital births in 2000 from the National Center for Health Statistics, the perinatal death rate for home births was nearly three times higher."
I've been to jail, but never prison.

Get in there and get dirty. Rub the produce's leaves with your hands to ensure nothing is missed and if you are working with hard, root veggies, you can even use a brush to scrub the dirt off. Toss the outer leaves when washing leafy greens. These are likely to have the bulk of bacteria and bugs, so it is easiest just to discard them. It is critical to never use bleach or detergent when cleaning produce. Using these harsh chemicals can do more damage than good.

It's not that there was much wrong with the Forte's predecessor. In fact, the last time we drove a Kia Spectra, we walked away wondering if anything more might be overkill. The Spectra was good but tended to blend in with a crowd, and Kia's not into playing the role of wallflower anymore. In contrast, the Forte boldly saunters into the middle of the dance floor, comfortable in the hot glow of the pin spot, with the confidence of Tony Manero after a trip to the tailor.
Clearly, the Kia Forte looks remarkably better than the econobox it replaces and attracts the right kind of attention to the brand. Everywhere it goes, the Forte is a surprising conversation piece, though many aren't sure exactly what it is. With Kia's value pricing, you also get a lot for your dollar. So does it have the hat trick of style, value and performance? When the key to this black Forte SX tester was pressed into the palm of our hand, we were ready to find out.

Protein Phosphorylation in Aging and Age-Related Disease
Edited by
- M. Mattson, Laboratory of Neurosciences, National Institute on Aging, Gerontology Research Center, Baltimore, MD, USA
It can be argued that ATP is the most important molecule in cells. Not only is ATP the key energy source for cells, but it is also the source of phosphate groups that are transferred to a variety of substrate proteins via the action of elaborate families of protein kinases. An equally elaborate array of protein phosphatases can remove phosphate groups from proteins. It is now well established that protein phosphorylation is a widely used mechanism for cells to selectively modulate the function of a variety of proteins including enzymes, ion channels and pumps and structural proteins.
In this volume of ACAG leading experts describe the evidence that protein phosphorylation is altered in aging and age-related disease. Protein phosphorylation controls fundamental processes such as transcription and translation, regulation of the cell cycle, signalling within and between cells, cell motility, synaptic function and so on. Recent findings are revealing how phosphorylation dependent signalling cascades may control lifespan with a prime example being the insulin-signalling pathway first described in c-elegans and now emerging as an important regulator of lifespan of mammals also. Many of the functional changes that occur during aging such as impaired learning and memory and altered energy metabolism are controlled by protein phosphorylation and it is, therefore, important to understand how mechanisms of protein phosphorylation may either mediate aging or provide adaptive responses that allow successful disease-free aging. The authors in addition to considering the roles of protein phosphorylation in aging describe the evidence that abnormalities in protein phosphorylation contribute to the pathogenesis of major age-related diseases including diabetes, atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Collectively the articles in this volume of ACAG will provide graduate students, postdocs and established investigators with a better understanding of the roles of protein phosphorylation in aging and age-related disease. This information will be valuable in the formulation of novel approaches for further elucidating mechanisms of aging and disease.

Latest revision as of 00:28, 8 March 2011
Tsingy de Bemaraha Reserve is in Madagascar.
Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve is a nature reserve located near the western coast of Madagascar in Melaky Region at 18°40′S 44°45′E / 18.667°S 44.75°E / -18.667; 44.75 (Tsigy). The area was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990 due to the unique geography, preserved mangrove forests, and wild bird and lemur populations.[1][2]. The southern end of the protected area has subsequently been changed into the Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park, covering 666 square kilometres (257 sq mi). The northern end of the protected area remains as a strict nature reserve (Réserve Naturelle Intégrale) covering 853 square kilometres (329 sq mi).

Arriving this week: the Freethought Equality Fund PAC, the creation of the Center for Humanist Activism. Organizers say the new political action committee will support candidates ready to advocate for the "equal rights of nonbelievers."
They make their case known at the National Press Club on Wednesday. Their goal, according to national coordinator Bishop McNeill:
"The mission of the Freethought Equality Fund PAC is to change the face of American politics by providing nontheist Americans the opportunity to make their voices heard in the political process like never before by getting involved in the electoral process supporting candidates for public office at all levels of government."
Wise, noble and strong? The new and improved positive Russian image is emerging following the nation's sudden starring role in the Syria crisis. That image is far from the unforgettable sight of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev during the Cold War era, once promising Americans "We will bury you," among other things.
Ironically, the marketing prowess of brand savvy Americans has been at work behind the scenes here: both Buzzfeed and the nonpartisan watchdog Pro Publica report that Russia President Vladimir Putin's much ballyhooed New York Times op-ed condemning U.S. intervention in Syria and American "exceptionalism" was actually placed in the newspaper by Ketchum Inc. Founded in 1923, the public relations giant has a presence in 70 countries and handles the branding challenge of Haagen-Dazs, Barbie dolls and IKEA, among many commercial entities.
The bodacious firm has placed editorials favorable to Russia in U.S. publications, these penned by seemingly neutral or independent authors "without disclosing the role of the Russian government," says Justin Elliott, a Pro Publica analyst, who has pored over the company's records and disclosures since last year.
"Ketchum's latest public filing says it was paid $1.9 million by Russia for the six-month period ending May 31, 2013. It received another $3.7 million for its work for Russian energy giant Gazprom over the same period," Mr. Elliott says.
But such is the nature of diplomacy, which now includes show biz and a few psychological operations thrown in for good measure.
"There's nothing unusual about Ketchum's work on behalf of Russia. Public relations firms constantly peddle op-eds on behalf of politicians, corporations, and governments," Mr. Elliott adds, noting. "Placement of op-eds is a standard part of the influence game, but it's rare for readers ever to find out who is behind the curtain."
It is a case of "Putin on the Blitz," at least according to a headline at Fark.com, the cheeky news site.
Many Republican lawmakers delicately agree that the aforementioned Russian-brokered deal with Syrian President Bashar Assad is laudable within limits. But dithering has its price.
"The Syria plan has been confusing at best over the last two years. Last week, it was more confusing to the American people, and more confusing to members of Congress about our national security interests," Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday on CNN.
"The president couldn't quite close that deal. So, that indecisiveness gave the diplomatic advantage to the Russians. They saw it. They stepped in. This is a Russian plan for Russian interests," the Michigan Republican said.

As far as players knew, Daud was the man responsible for framing Corvo for the death of the Empress in Dishonored. He also kind of grew a conscience after those events, and began looking for redemption before Corvo eventually catches up with him in the Dishonored storyline. The Knife of Dunwall DLC puts players in Daud's boots during the attempt to ease his pain, and the execution of conscience comforting is a delightfully dark tale.
Over his three missions, Daud seems to chasing down a name he was given by the Outsider: Delilah. But by the time I reached Knife's climax, the narrative had gone down the rabbit hole, and at least on the high chaos ending, ended in a boss fight fitting for a man who lurks in the shadows. It might throw you for a loop but it all works in and maintains the dark tone of Dishonored.
This was after evil deeds were done dirt cheap to dirty people, and that happened after Knife of Dunwall welcomed me back to Dishonored by beating the hell out of me. Most people who played Dishonored probably haven't touched it since last fall, and the first of what should be several story driven DLC packs plays with a late game difficulty level. Many deaths were suffered trying to get into the slaughterhouse before I was back in the swing of things.
Daud's packing a couple tools that Corvo never got ahold of, like Chokedust and Arc Mines. The mines act like the traps Corvo could set, and the Chokedust is a great little way to stun enemies then close in for the kill. Daud can also call in his fellow assassins to help take care of business, and Arkane Studios has improved the Blink ability to compensate for the, at times, less than useful Blink targeting system. If you cease using the left stick on your controller while aiming Blink, time will stop in Dunwall and you can point Daud in whatever direction you please. Now you could leap into the air, release the stick, activate Blink aiming and go where you need to. That doesn't solve all the problems as I still found myself dropping into groups of City Watch soldiers and amassing a large body count while trying to fight my way out.
Daud will face his new foes in old and new parts of Dunwall, all which are just as alive as they were in Dishonored. There are still people to meet and conversations to overhear for sidequests. In addition to gear and upgrades, Daud can use his network of mercenaries for "favors." They could leave alarms turned off, "misplace" runes, or leave other helpful hints, all at a price, of course. This only serves to expand on Dishonored's options to finish missions in a lethal or non-lethal manner. Does a legendary killer create high chaos or low? The choice is yours, as always.
The Knife of Dunwall doesn't make any grand refinements to Dishonored's gameplay, but its made subtle additions and given a supporting character a stronger role to create a fun little adventure in the world of Dunwall, even if the ending was kind of weak. If you want a reason to pick up Dishonored again and explore more of its seaside city, joining up with Daud in The Knife of Dunwall isn't a bad way to do it.

This initiative is intended to contribute to the creation of an active drug safety surveillance system in the U.S., which is a key provision of the recent Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA) of 2007 signed into law just two months ago. The Food and Drug Administration will work with the Collaboration in an advisory capacity. "We are very excited about this effort," said Janet Woodcock, MD, Deputy Commissioner and Chief Medical Officer, Food and Drug Administration. "This is a wonderful example of how public and private organizations can work together to benefit the public health."
The Collaboration expects its learnings to contribute to and build off of those of the Reagan-Udall Foundation, a new private and independent non-profit organization established by Congress under the FDAAA. The mission of the Foundation is to identify and help to address the unmet scientific needs in the development, manufacture, and evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of FDA-regulated products, including post-market evaluation.

Why Did the Plaintiff Cross the Road? LA Supreme Court Says It's Obvious.
On December 2, 2011, Royce Bufkin Jr. was enjoying an afternoon stroll through the French Quarter when he encountered a construction barrier blocking the sidewalk and directing him to cross to the other side of the street. The construction barrier was for work being done on a building, and there was a large dumpster occupying several on-street parking spots immediately adjacent to the sidewalk barrier. As Bufkin prepared to cross the one-way street, he looked in the direction of oncoming traffic before beginning to cross the road. Unfortunately for Bufkin, a bicyclist delivering food for Felipe's Taqueria Restaurant was traveling the wrong way down Conti Street at that same moment, and Bufkin was struck by the bicyclist and injured.
Bufkin subsequently filed suit against Felipe's, its insurer, and Shamrock Construction, the company doing the construction on the building, as well as the building's owner. As to Shamrock, Bufkin argued the company was liable because it created an unreasonable risk of harm to pedestrians by creating a "blind spot" that prevented pedestrians from seeing oncoming traffic when crossing the street. Bufkin argued that Shamrock's sign directing pedestrians to cross the street should have also advised them that the dumpster created a blind spot, and specifically instructed pedestrians to cross at the corner. Bufkin also contended that Shamrock should have placed buffers around the dumpster to eliminate the blind spot. Shamrock sought summary dismissal of the lawsuit, arguing that it was not negligent and owed no duty to warn about the dumpster. The trial court denied the motion and the appellate court also denied Shamrock's subsequent application for supervisory review of the denial. But the Louisiana Supreme Court granted Shamrock's writ application for review in Bufkin v. Felipe's Louisiana.
The Supreme Court framed the issue as "whether the sidewalk condition, created by Shamrock's allegedly insufficiently posted warnings and the placement of the large curbside dumpster, produced a vision obstruction that was unreasonably dangerous, and if so, whether Shamrock owed a duty to place additional warnings on its signage and/or to construct a buffer zone that would mitigate against any vision obstruction created." The Court then went on to note that generally, the burden for tort liability arising from a sidewalk defect lies with the municipality, unless an adjoining landowner negligently caused the defect. Nonetheless, the Court noted that a pedestrian still has a duty to see "that which should be seen and is bound to observe his course to see if his pathway is clear." Ultimately, the Court evaluated whether Shamrock owed a duty to Bufkin under four factors:
- The utility of the complained-of condition;
- The likelihood and magnitude of the harm, including the obviousness and apparentness of the condition;
- The cost of preventing the harm; and
- The nature of the plaintiff's activities in terms of social utility or whether the activities were dangerous by nature.
The Court quickly disposed of the first factor, utility, noting that "[c]onducting repairs and renovations to aging French Quarter buildings is not only desirable, but necessary." The Court then moved on the second prong, noting that a defendant generally does not have a duty to protect against obvious and apparent dangers. In evaluating this prong, the Court considered evidence submitted by Shamrock, including photographs of the accident site about a week after the accident, Bufkin's deposition, and an affidavit from Dale Johnson, Shamrock's superintendent for the building project.
Mr. Johnson's affidavit went into detail about the size of the 30-cubic-yard dumpster, the signage warning that the sidewalk was closed and warning pedestrians to cross the street, and the position of the dumpster. Johnson also noted that there was no pedestrian crossing delineated at the construction location. Meanwhile, Bufkin's deposition revealed that he had lived in the French Quarter for thirty years. Bufkin also stated he followed pedestrian traffic crossing by the dumpster because "he thought crossing by the dumpster was a shortcut." Bufkin did not dispute that he failed to look to his right (the opposite direction of oncoming traffic) before crossing the street. Bufkin also admitted that he had known of the dumpster's presence for more than four months by the time of the accident, and as a French Quarter resident, he was aware that people would at times walk, jog, or bicycle the wrong way down one-way streets.
The Court began its analysis of the facts by acknowledging that Shamrock would have been liable for any unreasonably dangerous condition it created on the sidewalk, having assumed custody of the sidewalk by shutting it down during the construction. However, considering all of the above evidence and testimony, the Court found that any vision obstruction caused by a dumpster of the size at issue was obvious and apparent, and reasonably safe for persons exercising ordinary care and prudence. Accordingly, the Court concluded that Shamrock had no duty to warn of the obstruction presented to pedestrian by its "pick-up-truck-sized dumpster, a large inanimate object visible to all." This lack of duty also negated the need for the Court to evaluate the remaining two factors of the test. Because Bufkin presented no evidence to refute this finding, the Supreme Court reversed the lower courts' decision and entered summary judgment in favor of Shamrock, dismissing the case against it.
Take-Away: Even where a defendant has control of a premises (such as Shamrock and the sidewalk in this case), it still has no duty to warn plaintiffs of obvious and apparent dangers.

Follow artists to Oaxaca, Mexico where they campaign to educate on the risks of GMO corn while standing up for food sovereignty. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on January 29, 2012.
Follow artists to Oaxaca, Mexico where they campaign to educate on the risks of GMO corn while standing up for food sovereignty.
About this project
Mes Del Maiz
A Documentary, Art Campaign and Awareness Festival in Oaxaca, Oaxaca
Why care? Click: Reasons why we are reaching out to Mexico
What you are funding:
1) Mes Del Maiz a FREE art, film and music GMO awareness festival in Oaxaca Oaxaca Mexico bringing awareness to the consumers to ignite change in the the future for Mexicos corn and food sovereignty. (projector, light and sound equipment rentals. extension cords, etc. ) The event is free so EVERYONE can come.
Why this event is important: Mexico is preparing to plant 30,000 acres of GMO corn, The state of Oaxaca is planning a large planting of GMO corn in the Sierra Noret Oaxaca. This is all already underway and there is no stopping them. Al we can do is educate, increase awareness and let the consumers decide the fate of the most important food crop of their country.
A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. These techniques, generally known as recombinant DNA technology, use DNA molecules from different sources, which are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. GMOs are the constituents of genetically modified foods.
2) A Documentary by Jose Reyes (specifically: audio, lights, tripods, film crew, post production).
Why is the making of this film important?
This film will expose the extent to which GMO corn has taken it's toll. It is shocking that a city like Oaxaca, Oaxaca, a city that is surrounded by indigenous pueblos, many which were at one time farming towns, growing criollo (native) corn has a shortage of such corn. A shortage so severe that restaurants now cannot find organic criollo corn. This film will also inspire the artist viewers, exhibiting the strength of art as a tool for activism and positive change. It will inspire festival coordinators to make festivals for positive change. And it will increase GMO awareness.
3) Free streaming capacity. Will need to set up WIFI and equipment at our location so that we can broadcast the event world wide.
Why is free streaming important? Because we will be able to keep YOU connected to this event all the way through. Because thousands of folks will be able to virtually walk through an old train station transformed into an exhibition space and be inspired by the creativity. It is through this magnificence that this festival will touch thousands and further unveil the reality of what is happening in Oaxaca.
4) Art supplies for art school we are using. Fine paper is a luxury there. Quality inks are very expensive. So we will equip the school with much needed quality materials. The colectivos that are painting murals will need supplies as well, not to mention the 1000 plus feet of paper we need to wrap the trains at the festival location for the artists to be permitted to paint them. That's right painted trains with murals to raise awareness on GMO risks. Fantastic!
Why are these supplies important? The economy of Oaxaca is in an inflation state. Art supplies are way to expensive to buy and sometimes schools go a long time without proper supply, leaving artists to work in their sketch books not able to print onto paper, leaving beautiful murals unfinished. Giving is a huge part of the culture in Oaxaca. We aim to give to these talented artist by donating supplies for the cause. It is also our way of saying thank you for participating.
Printing cost for 2,000 / 24 page educational pamphlets with art images from participating artists and pages of educational material on GMO risks and the toll they are taking on the worlds seed and food supply. These pamphlets will be given away to schools at no cost.
Chula's story (more to lower right of page)
Contact me anytime with questions at email@example.com
ART BACKGROUND (Traducción al español Abajo)Chula spent her early career as a metal artist, her work was exhibited throughout California.
In 1998 Chula began growing organic food, studying sustainability and exploring the culinary arts. In 1999 she moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where she owned and ran a private chef/catering company.
Chula grew much of the food that she cooked within her catering company. After volunteering on a farm In 2001 she began the stewardship of 3 acres of raw jungle on Papaya Farms Road in Pahoa,Hawaii. There she created an off grid (solar/water catchment) sustainable farm, and supplied many home kitchens and restaurants with fresh organic greens. To her great disappointment the land she bought was adjacent to a GMO papaya field and she witnessed first hand what cross contamination can mean for a farm. Once bees from those fields pollinated her papaya flowers, her papaya trees were contaminated and were no longer organic but rather GMO! It was horrible because papayas were one of her main food sources.
MEXICO CALLSIt was also during this time that the film "Future of Food"was released. In seeing this film Chula's heart ached at the prospects for Mexican farmers. Both her culinary and farming history created an outright visceral reaction to watching this film. Chula could feel Mexico's land, crops and farmers on a deep level. It inspired a song that she wrote and on going support to do what she could via online activism to stand up for the rights of consumers and farmers.
Upon a visit to Oaxaca, Mexico, Chula tapped back into her well of creativity and artistic skills that, to her surprise, are very much still alive. It is there in Oaxaca that she created the piece "Viva La Milpa". She uses this image to decorate educational information on GMO contamination and she experienced first hand the power of activism through the medium of art. This one piece of art brought new awareness to hundreds of people! Chula is now an art activist, currently committed preserving and protecting the heirloom corn varieties of Mexico.
The film will weave the following into a documentary that will inspire artists to make a positive difference in the world through the medium of their art.
In March 2012 California artists will be creating an art campaign in the city of Oaxaca, Oaxaca Mexico. It will be a cross cultural exchange between Oaxaca and California. Together we will make pieces that raise awareness around the risks of GMO Corn. We will poster the city walls, create free educational/art pamphlets in Spanish, host an environmental film festival, host open art studios, host keynote speakers and host a music and art festival honoring the criollo (native) corn of Mexico.
It will touch thousands of folks, spreading the awareness of what is happening to Mexico's corn, helping to preserve and protect it. The film will educate many consumers on the risks of GMO corn.
Knowledge brings with it more choices and the more choices we have, the more empowered we are. Through spreading awareness on the risks of GMOs we intend to empower the consumers of Oaxaca and all locales. This project will support Mexico in claiming food sovereignty. The changes that the politicians make around GMOs is going to be dictated by the consumers so the time is now to educate. Why wait?
"The art scene in Oaxaca is like that of Paris in the 1900's"
~ Gabriel Coto, artist
All of this will be filmed in one of the hottest art scenes in the world. That of Oaxaca, Oaxaca Mexico.
The corn of Mexico is the heart of Mexico, the soul of Mexico. That is the emotional part. But there are two parts to this dilemma and the second part is the logical one. The native corn of Mexico is a key component to the worlds' food supply as its' ancient varieties have adapted to extreme weather conditions. There are varieties that can grow in humid areas and those that can grow in very dry climates, high elevations and low. And in these times of extreme weather change we need these varieties. Unfortunately this native corn's existence is currently at risk of Genetically Modified corn (GMO) contamination and once those seeds are gone, Mexico and the world will no longer have that corn and all we will have to eat is GMO corn. The big GMO companies are out pricing the indigenous farmers that have been farming in Oaxaca for thousands of years. The farmers are suffering hard economic loss and are struggling to survive. A big source of the problem is the lack of consumer knowledge. If more consumers know the risks and the impact that GMOs have on the worlds food and seed supply then we will see change. Food sovereignty is a birthright but it doesn't become a fight until you are aware that it is being taken from you. This is all about education.
I thank you for your support, The Milpa (the organic corn fields) thank you,the farmers thank you, the artists thank you and the people of Oaxaca, Oaxaca Mexico thank you as their situation is growing increasingly worse day by day as GMO corn is contaminating the fields of their countryside and ending up on their plates!
I know this documentary is going to be the fuel that ignites the positive change towards food sovereignty. Thanks for being a part of this change! Now you can say you backed it!

Una Meta - Hacer una diferencia positiva en el mundo a través del Arte
Un Documental, Campaña Artística y Festival de Consciencia
Gracias por sintonizarte! El maíz de México es el corazón de México; el alma de México. Esa es la parte emocional. Pero hay dos partes en este dilema y la segunda es la parte lógica: El maíz nativo de México es un componente clave del suministro mundial de alimentos, ya que sus variedades ancestrales se han adaptado siempre a condiciones climáticas extremas. Hay variedades que pueden crecer en zonas húmedas y otras que pueden crecer en climas muy secos, así como elevaciones altas y bajas. Lamentablemente la existencia de este maíz nativo se encuentra actualmente en peligro de desaparecer, debido a la contaminación de variedades maíz modificado genéticamente (OMG). Una vez estas semillas desaparezcan, México y el mundo ya no producirán el maíz tradicional y lo único que tendremos para comer será el maíz transgénico. Una gran causa del problema es la falta de conocimiento del consumidor. Sólo cuando más consumidores conozcan y entiendan estos riesgos, y reclamen ante las estructuras globales de poder el derecho a acceder alimentos sanos, podremos ver un cambio.
En agosto del 2010, durante un viaje a la ciudad de Oaxaca, México, lo que yo pensaba que iba a ser unas "vacaciones", se convirtió en mi incursión como activista del arte. Tengo que decir que esto fue algo mucho más gratificante que unas simples vacaciones. Fueron unas vacaciones con un propósito! En este momento acabo de regresar de mi segunda campaña de arte allí. Ahora estoy aún mas motivada y mi deseo es mostrar a otros artistas como pueden hacer una diferencia en el mundo a través de su arte. Sí, las vacaciones son maravillosas, sin embargo, estos tiempos son críticos. La Tierra nos necesita! No sólo eso, sino que muchas personas están sintiendo una sensación de temor ante una economía en crisis que nos está convirtiendo en máquinas que trabajan día y noche para el sistema. Muchos de nosotros hemos perdido nuestro sentido de propósito. Nos levantamos por la mañana, listos para volver a la cama poco después debido a la falta de inspiración y total agotamiento. Algunos de nosotros estamos esperando "ese momento perfecto" para compartir nuestro dones con el mundo, pero que tal si ese momento es AHORA?
Te invito a ser testigo de cómo seis artistas viajan a otro país, inspirados por algo más que sólo unas simples "vacaciones". En lugar de tomar los recursos de este lugar y luego "desocupar" con unas cuantas fotos para el álbum y un bronceado, observa como compartimos nuestros dones al tiempo que entregamos nuestro espíritu a Oaxaca, mientras aprendemos y educamos a la comunidad, exhibiendo nuestro arte, y luego partimos de vuelta totalmente recompensados con la sensación de nuestro propósito cumplido, y sabiendo que hicimos una diferencia en el mundo.
En el mes de marzo del 2012 seis artistas de California crearán una campaña de arte en la ciudad de Oaxaca, Oaxaca México. Será un intercambio intercultural entre 6 artistas de Oaxaca y el 6 de California. Juntos vamos a hacer 12 piezas para crear consciencia en torno a los riesgos del maíz transgénico. Vestiremos la ciudad con murales y afiches, repartiremos folletos educativos gratis, haremos difusión del mensaje en los pueblos, organizaremos un festival de cine del medio ambiente, abriremos muestras públicas de arte, invitaremos oradores especiales y tendremos una transmisión en vivo de música y un festival de arte en honor al maíz criollo de México. Este es también un proyecto de empoderamiento. El conocimiento trae consigo más opciones y entre más opciones tenemos, más poder reunimos. Con este proyecto tenemos la intención de capacitar a la gente de Oaxaca mediante la difusión de la conciencia sobre los riesgos relacionados con los OGM.
"La escena del arte en Oaxaca es como la de París en la década de 1900"
~ Gabriel Coto, Artista Oaxaqueño
Todo esto será filmado en uno de los escenarios artísticos más "calientes" del mundo: El de Oaxaca, Oaxaca México. El objetivo es crear un documental que sirva de inspiración a los artistas alrededor del mundo, para que al mismo tiempo que viajan, puedan hacer una diferencia en el mundo. Para que permitan que sus voces sean escuchadas a través de su arte y mantengan un sentido de propósito en estos tiempos de rápidos cambios.
Su apoyo ayudará a financiar la filmación, los materiales de arte para los artistas de California y Oaxaca, así como la organización del festival.
Te doy las gracias por tu apoyo; las milpas (los campos de maíz orgánico) también te agradecen; y los artistas y el pueblo de Oaxaca, Oaxaca México también te dan las gracias, ya que el maíz transgénico está contaminando los campos de su tierra y generando una situación cada vez más difícil de solucionar.
Paz y Amor,

The Justice Department refused Tuesday to turn over most of the information and documents sought by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights explaining why a civil complaint was dismissed against members of the New Black Panther Party who disrupted a Philadelphia polling place in the November 2008 elections.
In a 38-page response, the department objected — except for a few court records, letters and procedural documents — to "each and every" question and document request submitted by the commission, saying the subpoenas violated existing executive orders, privacy and privilege concerns, and were burdensome, vague and ambiguous.
The lengthy response, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times, also said the requested information and documents were protected by the attorney-client privilege or were not subject to disclosure because they included attorney or law enforcement work products.
The department also refused to release any information about an investigation of the New Black Panther Party case by its office of professional responsibility, saying the ongoing review was privileged information or was covered by the Privacy Act.
In an accompanying letter to the commission, Joseph H. Hunt, director of the Justice Department's Federal Programs Branch, which oversees litigation matters, said the department is "constrained by the need to protect against disclosures that would harm its deliberative processes or that otherwise would undermine its ability to carry out its mission."
Mr. Hunt added that the department "continues to evaluate whether it can provide further response consistent with the need to protect privileged information and may supplement this response at a later date." He did not elaborate.
But Commissioner Todd Gaziano, an independent appointed by the House, questioned the department's refusal to turn over the bulk of the requested information and documents.
"The department offered no arguments as to their legal position in denying the requests," Mr. Gaziano said during an interview Tuesday. "This is just more delay, more stonewalling and without any justification.
"The department has no privilege in this matter other than executive privilege, and if the president wants to assert it, he should do so," he said.
The Civil Rights Commission, frustrated by the Justice Department's failure to explain the dismissal despite repeated written requests for information, issued subpoenas on Dec. 9 demanding records showing how the case was handled.
David P. Blackwood, the commission's general counsel, said at the time that efforts since June to obtain an explanation had proceeded "without any success" and that the "dearth of cooperation" had prompted the panel to issue the subpoenas.
Mr. Blackwood noted that while the Justice Department had raised various concerns and matters of privilege in giving up any information or documents, cooperation with commission investigations was a mandatory statutory obligation.
"Moreover, due to the unique investigative role of the commission — akin to that of a congressional committee — disclosure to the commission of the information sought is both proper and required," he said.
The commission had sought answers from the Justice Department on why a civil complaint against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members was dismissed after a federal judge in Philadelphia had ordered default judgments in the case.
The party had refused to respond to the charges or to appear in court.

AIBA, government suspend Indian boxing federation
Updated: December 7, 2012, 9:05 AM ETAssociated Press
NEW DELHI -- The Indian Amateur Boxing Federation has received a double blow with the government withdrawing its support within hours of the federation being suspended by world governing body AIBA for not following proper electoral procedures.
The announcements Friday came within four days of the Indian Olympic Association being suspended by the International Olympic Committee, leaving sports administrator Abhay Singh Chautala's position in peril.
Chautala is the chairman of the boxing ...

Yes, I have started adopting minimalism as a way of life. Its a challenging mindset especially when you have kids.
Look around, you will find that there are 1000 things that we possess just as a matter of self-pride but no usefulness. Gadgets, gifts, one-time useful items, and so on. It was very frustrating to manage them all.
Having determined to 'clean up', I have almost become a military officer insisting that we be a gatekeeper for any new items that enters our house.
Many items from my items are being cleared. Will post an photo album sooner.
Not only things, number of blogs also have come down.

|Cavendish, Dark Fired Kentucky, Latakia, Oriental, Perique, Virginia
|Room Note:
|5 - Intensive
|More Details
The winning blend from the Chicagoland Pipe Show 2011. We're proud to introduce BlackHouse. This blend is a tribute to a great tobacco of the past. Made for the 2011 contest it was judged to be the closest overall to the dark balkan-type mixture it was designed to emulate. For you Virginia Heads it's loaded along with Kentucky, Balkans, Turkish, and even a smattering of Black Cavendish.
Ok, so I'm still pretty new to the pipe game so bear with me a bit. But, still I know when I find something I like. I'min the process to find an aro that she who must be obayed likes, and looking for traditionals that I enjoy. I've tried the Dunhill London, Early Morning, and 965, all very nice. This blows them away, more robust flavor and very smooth. I could smoke this all day! In short, if you are reading this just buy some. If you decide you don't like it send it to me and I'll smoke it for you!
Disclaimer: I'm a new pipe smoker and not very well versed in the different tobaccos. I originally purchased a different H&H tobacco but it was on back order so I called in to change the order and BlackHouse was recommended by the rep at pipesandcigars.com. If you're new to pipe smoking, this might not be the right tobacco for you. I'm still trying to find what I do and don't like in a tobacco and right now, all I can say is BlackHouse is NOT the right tobacco for me. Just opening the tin I realized I had made a mistake. It is VERY smokey smelling (think about bbq'ing a brisket all day, this would be what your clothes smell like after) and I guess a spicy hint to it. Again, I'm still new to this so I apologize if I'm butchering the description, I just don't know how else to describe it. Either way, the smell is extremely strong and VERY powerful. Since you'll never know if you like it until you try it, I loaded up a bowl and took the dog for a walk. About 10 minutes in, I was done. Way too much of the smokiness for me and it just didn't taste that great in my opinion. About 45 minutes later I was still tasting it and it lingered on for a while longer. That said, I'm sure this is a great tobacco. Reviews here and other places seem great, I think it's just one of those "either you love it or you hate it" type things.
I ordered this about three months ago and just opened the tin. Now Im sorry I waited. A very rich and distinct flavor awaits you with a very smokey goodness that few bacys can compete with. If you like english, this is a must try. Thanks H&H!
Outstanding, 'nuff said.
Room note reminds me of a campfire. I like to pack a pipe of this and let it sit just for the scent. Burns smooth and clean.
This black house is the best blend for your buck out there. Smoky, sweet, burns well, what more can a guy ask for? I wish I could buy this by the bale.
You read about these legendary tobaccos that were better in the 60's or in the 80's or got discontinued. This is one of those; in 20 years, you can say you smoked it. If you're smart, you can buy 20 pounds and sell cans on the internet for $500 each (by then). Smooth, sublime and amazing.
Rich and flavorful English mixture, outstanding aroma
Didn't like it at first. But, after 2 weeks of letting it sit, I absolutely LOVE it!!!
Perhaps being a newb I don't know what I'm doing (still figuring out how to get the right pack in the pipe) but I'm barely getting any flavor and minimal smoke output from this tobacco. I'm used to a full flavor cigar.
Thanks very much H&H!! Nuff said.
Oh the smell of this...just opening the bag was fantastic! The smell in the bag is really reminiscent of a campfire. I really enjoyed smoking this. It has so many different flavors going on and you get a different experience almost every puff. It was a little dry when I got it so it burned a little hot, so I am going to leave it in the humidor for a little while to hydrate it a bit, but otherwise this stuff is perfect! It is definitely an outdoor smoke though unless you want your house to smell like woodsmoke. It isn't an unpleasant smell like some English blends, but it is very distinct.
This is def a full throttle English blend with a strong latakia and incense like room note with a spicy character. The sweetness/tang of the Virginias show up intermittingly and quickly fade. Becomes fuller towards the 2nd half. Still trying to figure out the best way of packing this blend. As with most of H&H blends this stuff arrived very much on the dry side. So much so that I may try to hydrate it a bit. Definitely a quality blend and recommended.
I just received my first order from P&C which included Town Topic, Golden Extra and a tin of Black House. Purchase was based on reviews; I like them all very much but the Black House is in a league all its own. At first light up, it immediately got my wife's attention. What is that, she says? We tried to identify the room note, mysterious, sultry, exotic aroma. I smoked three bowls of it in one evening. I plan to dedicate one of my Savinelli's to this wonderful blend. The taste is wonderful, no bite. It does burn a bit fast and the transportation to the past is over far too soon. Having never had the opportunity to try the classic 759, it must have been wonderful if this is an example of it. I plan to make this one of my favorites.
If a Blender has managed to create a better blend than this one, I've never smoked it. Black House is powerful, enjoyable, well-balanced, and it has just the right amount of tasty perique to make your mouth happy. This blend is as good as tobacco gets.
I am not good at reviews but I did like this one ALOT. I heard that it came really close to an old blend that is hard to find. Being that I will never be able to taste the other I will never know the comparison. Just the aroma of opening the bag alone gets 5 stars.
Very pronounced Latakia with a nice bite from perique. I love this blend. Strong flavor and a great burn.
This is one of my favorites! An excellent blend of fine tobaccos. BlackHouse is well balanced and very tasty. If you want to try an English blend with great flavor this in the one! Very distinct and also mellow enough to smoke all day.

Woody Allen doesn't think he is a good actor, says John Turturro
Woody Allen, who has mostly made cameo appearances in his own films, will be seen in John Turturro's new film "Fading Gigolo" and the latter says that the actor-director doesn't think highly of himself as an actor.
Allen has donned the hat of just an actor in Turturro's directorial alongside Sharon Stone and Sofia Vergara.
When asked of Allen's awareness of the intimidating effect he has on people around him, Turturro said that as a director Allen considers the role very seriously.
"I think when he's (Woody) a director, yes and he takes that very seriously. But he doesn't think very highly of himself as an actor," Turturro said in a statement.

CLEVELAND -- The Sacramento Kings had won just one road game this season. They'd lost 10 of their last 11 games against the Cleveland Cavaliers, including a 1-5 mark at Quicken Loans Arena. Neither of those streaks prevented the Kings from prevailing on Wednesday night over the Cavs, 97-94, at Quicken Loans Arena. Center DeMarcus Cousins powered in 18 points and a game-high 16 rebounds for the Kings (12-20), who are now 2-13 on road and 1-4 vs. the Eastern Conference. Power forward Justin Thompson added a team-high 19 points and 10 rebounds. Guard John Salmons buried a 3-pointer in front of the Cavs' bench with 52.9 seconds remaining, and the Kings never trailed again. The clutch shot handed the Kings a 92-90 advantage. On the Cavs' next possession, guard Kyrie Irving slipped in the lane and turned the ball over with 38.1 seconds left. Irving led all scorers with 22 points, five rebounds and six assists. His 9-foot jumper with 12 seconds left pulled the Cavs (7-26) within ...

E4OD woes
So, I was driving back to washington from montana, and my speedometer starts flopping all over the place. Easy fix, vss sensor right? well I went to the next napa and got a new sensor, only to find out the pigtail was messed up, causing the erratic signal. I found a new pigtail, 75 miles away at another napa, so i started driving, as soon as I got back on the highway, my od light starts flashing, and send the tranny into "way to high line pressure because im slipping" mode, now I know that these trannys don't survive long with the od light flashing, but I continued driving because I had no other option. Long story short, I replaced the pigtail, disconnected the battery cables for 15 min, and drove like 200 more miles home without an issue, or a flashing od light.
But, now my fluid is significantly darker, and I'm wondering how much this e4od has left? It is shifting fine, like it always has, but I'm worried when the trans went into "oh sh*t" mode it damaged something.
I was considering dropping the pan and swapping the filter, or maybe doing a complete fluid flush, but I'm worried since there is so much material in the fluid now that its just gonna slip if I flush it out.
What do you guys think?
First place I'd start would be a complete flush, including the torque converter, new filter, and add a magnetic filter to the return line coming from the radiator/cooler.. like this one
Then see how it acts.
Heres where I'm at with it, I"m driving back to montana next sunday. I dont want to do a flush, and then the trans decides to start slipping halfway home because so much clutch material is gone. regardless, the trans will be getting rebuilt when I get back, Should I flush the fluid, and try and get a bunch of miles on it before I head back, or do should I just drop the pan do a filter, and hope for the best. I only need like 1200 more miles out of it haha
The darn thing is shifting good still, it almost feels better then before the od light started flashing. The change in fluid color is just whats really worrying me. The fluid was a little dark before, but didnt smell burnt, but I figured it was old fluid since I just got the truck. now it almost looks like used motor oil!
