Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
Chevron 15w/40 / 2 Gallons $24
Last Oil Change Was Feb 17th 2013 at 186,008 Miles
Today 7/01/13 The OLM just hit 0 at 190,072 Miles
That's 4,064 miles / 4 months, 12 days
Is that pretty good, same or average compared to 10w/30 oil for my 98 Deville???
Chevron 15w/40 https://www.google.com/#q=Walmart+Ch...w=1440&bih=698
I use 5w30 mobile1 ever since I resealed the engine and studded block and did HG's, installed all new timing chains. This was 4500 miles ago. OLM says 63% and its been topped off once with a quart at 3500 miles.
Edit: I'm so used to using 5w30 in customers cars I mistakingly typed it when I in fact use 10w30
Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
I was thinking 4,000+ miles on the OLM was pretty good for my "Handicapped" Super Lac...LoL
But, Next oil change I'ma run the recommended 10w/30 and compare those results
The OLM is calibrated to the oil specified in your owners manual. It has no way of telling what viscosity you're using, or weather the oil is synthetic or not (.....or what brand, or who endorses it, or what special abilities the bottle says it has...). The OLM system does not sample the oil in any way, shape, or form. These engines don't even have an oil temp or oil pressure sensor.
Oil consumption has absolutely nothing to do with the OLM. Heavier oil MAY be consumed SLIGHTLY slower, and MAY leak slower, only because it's thicker.
In any case, 15W-40 is the WRONG OIL for any Northstar, under any driving conditions, in any climate.

Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
I just changed the oil my deville according to olm and it was at 5% . 7500 miles and five months. It only sees highway miles and next to none is stop and go traffic. No commute just pleasure . Mainly to the same place twice a week that is a 100 mile round trip all highway 60-70 MPH.
When my mom had the car it barely got to 3000 miles becuse she only drove 16 miles or so a week and all short trips which did not let the car get warmed up
I alway use 10-30 Moble 5000 .
Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
about the only way I can think of
for the OLM to hit 0% in 4000 miles -
is all of your driving is short trips -
or stop-n-go rush hour type driving -
or if the engine was overheated -
if you have thoughts of fixing the failed head gaskets -
and continuing to use the same engine in the future -
I STRONGLY recommend using the proper 10w30 oil -
you COULD be starving the engine of oil at start-up using thicker oil -
Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
I was looking for the same brand Chevron Delo 10w/30 but I cant find any in my area...
the closest I found was Chevron Delo 400 Synthetic 5W40... which is too thin, right???
.................................................. ..............
Id like to use the same Chevron stuff but if I cant find it ill go to the cheapest 10w/30 I can find...
I really only drive about 20/25 miles a day for work and groceries. Half and half highway and city but the stop and go isn't really much since I use roads with light traffic and traffic lights
5W-40 is too thin al low temperatures, AND too thick at high temperatures.
Don't worry about brand. Pick a bottle of 10W-30 that's a color you like, or knock all the 10W-30 bottles on the floor, and buy the ones pointing at you.

Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
I'll just post it again. It was written by a GM Powertrain engineer that used to post here.
One thing I can touch on and clear up.....the GM oil life monitor operation and my statement that ZDP (or ZDDP as you tend to call it here...most of the API literature just sticks to ZDP so I tend to use that) depletion is the basis for oil deterioration.
My spelling is poor but ZDP stands for zinc dialkyldithiophosphate which , as it sounds, is an anti-wear compound comprised of zinc and phosphorus.
ZDP is dispersed in the oil so as to be at a potential wear site if a surface asperity happens to break thru the oil film thickness causing the dreaded metal-to-metal contact. A molecule of ZDP must be present at that moment to prevent microwelding at the contact site which will cause material transfer, scuffing, scoring, wear and catostrophic failure. The concentration of ZDP in the oil will determine if there is ZDP present to work it's magic. The greater the concentration...the more likely a molecule of ZDP will be there...and vice versa.
By nature, ZDP is sacrifical. As ZDP is "used up" at a wear site to prevent micorwelding the concentration of ZDP decreases.... So...if you measure the ZDP concentration in engine oil in a running engine it will decrease at linear rate based on engine revolutions. Any given engine has a certain number of high potential wear areas where metal-to-metal contact could occur due to reduced film thickness and/or surface asperities....areas such as rubbing element cam followers, distributor gears, rocker arm pivots, push rod tips, etc...... The more of these areas the more ZDP depletion. The more often these features come in contact the greater the ZDP depletion. That is why, generally speaking, ZDP concentration in the oil, for any given engine, will decrease at a fairly linear rate when plotted versus cummulative engine revolutions. The more times it turns the more contact the more chance for wear the greater the depletion. This is as much of a fact as I could quote ever and is really not speculation or anything. It is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt in many studies. That is why it is ONE of the basis for determining oil life remaining and why it is THE basic premis of the GM oil life algorithm. It is only ONE of the things that determines oil life...but it is the one thing that can be tied to engine operation in a linear fashion and estimated very accurately by accumulating engine revolutions via a counter.
The GM engine oil life monitor counts engine revolutions and accumulates the number for the basis of the oil life calculation. It then adds deterioration factors for operating temperature, start up temperature, soak times, ambient, coolant temperature, etc... There are a LOT of factors that "adjust" or affect the slope of the deterioration but the fundamental deterioration is traced back to the ZDP depletion that is inescapable with engine revolutions. The specific rate of ZDP depletion is readily measurable for any given engine so that is the fundamental item that is first calibrated for the oil life algorithm to tailor it specifically to that engine.
You would obviously like to get the oil out of the engine before the ZDP concentration gets so low that it is ineffective at being at the right place at the right time and preventing engine wear so that becomes the long term limit on oil life for that application.
The other things that determine oil life such a acid build up, oxidation, petane insuluables such as silicon from dust/dirt, carbon or soot build up from the EGR in blowby, water contamination, fuel contamination, etc.... are all modeled by the multipliers or deterioration factors that "adjust" the immediate slope of the line defined by the engine revolution counter as those items can be modeled in other ways and accounted for in the immediate slope of the ZDP depletion line.
The algorithm was developed over the course of many years by several lubrication experts at GM Fuels and Lubes, spearheaded by Doctor Shirley Schwartz who holds the patents (with GM) for the algorithm and the oil life montitor. I had the luck of working directly with Dr. Schwartz when the idea of the oil life monitor first progressed from the theoretical/lab stage to real world testing/development/validation. There were fleets of cars operated under all conditions that deteriorate the oil life for any and every reason and , thru oil sampling and detailed analysis of the oil condition, the algorithm was developed, fine tuned and validated to be the most accurate way invented yet to recommend an oil change interval by. As just one example, I have seen cars driven side-by-side on trips, one towing a trailer and one not, for instance, to prove the effectiveness of the oil life monitor in deteriorating the oil at a faster rate just because of the higher load, higher average RPM, higher temps, etc...and it works flawlessly.
The oil life monitor is so effective because: it is customized for that specific vehicle/engine, it takes everything into account that deteriorates the oil, it is ALWAYS working so as to take into account THAT INDIVIDUALS driving schedule, and it tailors the oil change to that schedule and predicts, on an ongoing basis, the oil life remaining so that that specific individual can plan an oil change accordingly. No other system can do this that effectively.
One thing is that I know personally from years of testing and thousands of oil analysis that the oil life algorithm works. There is simply no argument to the contrary. If you don't believe me, fine, but, trust me, it works. It is accurate because it has been calibrated for each specific engine it is installed on and there is considerable testing and validation of the oil life monitor on that specific application. NOt something that oil companies or Amsoil do. They generalize....the oil life monitor is very specific for that application.
Oil condition sensors in some BMW and Mercedes products are useful, also. They have their limitations, though, as they can be blind to some contaminates and can, themselves, be contaminated by certain markers or constituents of certain engine oils. Oil condition sensors can only react to the specific oil at that moment and they add complexity, cost and another potential item to fail. One other beauty of the GM oil life monitor is that it is all software and does not add any mechanical complexity, mass, wiring or potential failure mechanism.
There is considerable safety factor in the GM oil life monitor. Typically, I would say, there is a 2:1 safety factor in the slope of the ZDP depletion curve....in other words, zero percent oil life per the ZDP depletion is not zero ZDP but twice the concentration of ZDP considered critical for THAT engine to operate under all conditions reliably with no wear. This is always a subject of discussion as to just how low do you want the ZDP to get before the oil is "worn out" if this is the deciding factor for oil life. We would tend to be on the conservative side. If the oil life is counting down on a slope that would recommend a 10K change interval then there is probably 20K oil life before the ZDP is catostrophically depleted....not that you would want to go there...but reason why many people are successful in running those change intervals.
Please...NOT ALL ENGINES ARE THE SAME. The example above is an excellent practical justification of why you would want to add EOS and change the 15W40 Delvac in the muscle car at 3000 miles max and yet can run the Northstar to 12500 easily on conventional oil. You must treat each engine and situation differently and what applies to one does not retroactively apply to others. This is where Amsoil falls short in my book by proposing long change intervals in most everything if you use their oil. It just doesn't work that way. You can run the Amsoil to 12500 with no concerns whatsoever in the late model Northstar because even the oil life monitor tells you that for conventional oil off the shelf. Would I do that to the 502 in my 66 Chevelle...NO WAY. Amsoil says I can though. Wrong.
There are entire SAE papers written on the GM oil life monitor and one could write a book on it so it is hard to touch on all aspects of it in a single post. Hopefully we hit the high spots. Realize that a GREAT deal of time, work and energy went into developing the oil life monitor and it has received acclaim from engineering organizations, petroleum organizations, environmental groups all across the board. It is not some widget invented in a week and tacked onto the car.
Thanks for the responses
Ima run and stick with the 10w30 in a couple days
I guess I was jus trying to beat the whole 3,000 mile oil change deal, and the OLM exceeded that even with my daily driving routines
Basscatt made me think about my overheat a month or so ago... My engine heats up very quickly and sometimes hovers above 230*/240*
Recently had a fan fail and my AC compressor wouldn't come on, but i fix that issue... I hope. ???
But the heat up is quick, sometimes jumping 10 to 20 degrees every few minutes after start up...
So definitely gonna run the 10w30 asap bc I do want my engine to make it to its rebuild date... Hopefully a couple years away.
Thanks again

Doesn't your car have HG issues?
I try to drive it like a blind 100year old man tho... Surprised its still going without blowing smoke like my mechanic friend "Diagnosed/Predicted" a year ago... Tho, when he put in a new starter, he did say he checked and had to retighten some (3) loose head bolts, so maybe that helped band aid that issue???

Re: Update Using Chevron 15w/40 Oil With 2 Quart Top Off
Tightening head bolts is a bad idea. Head bolts have a thread locker applied from the factory. That not only locks the bolt, but seals the threads as well. That's the distinctive "snap" that is heard when the are "cracked" loose. Re-tightening them probably did more harm than good.

"No! That [dating] rumor was entirely my fault because I once said, on 'The Tyra Banks Show,' that Ben and I went on a date, and that turned into 'Danielle and Ben dated,'" she explained. "We went on one date, when I was about 15, and by the time the dinner was over we realized mutually that we were more like family than lovers."

While Ben and Danielle were not a match, the 31-year-old beauty did find her soulmate (she tutored him in math while pursuing her bachelor's degree) and the two got engaged last year.
The actress said the first thing she noticed about her fiancé was a "Mortal Kombat" tattoo he has on his calf - an ode to the popular video game of the '90s.
"I'm not a huge tattoo person, but I loved it," she said, adding that she has two tattoos - both of which she wishes she could remove.

Women's Basketball Battles for Top Spot in HL at Wright State
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – It will be a battle atop the conference standings this Thursday as the Green Bay women's basketball team heads to Dayton to take on Wright State at 6 p.m.
Live audio with Bruce VandenPlas on the call will be available for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices. Video of the game will be available online for free through the Horizon League Network, and live stats will also be provided through wsuraiders.com.
In the middle of a three-way tie atop the conference standings with Wright State and Youngstown State, Green Bay will look to earn the series sweep of the Raiders with a win on Thursday. The Phoenix took the first meeting this season at the Kress Center on January 25. In a second half that saw the lead exchange hands six times with one tie, the Green Bay women's basketball defense stepped up big in the final seconds as the Phoenix squeaked by Wright State with a 69-67 triumph. Green Bay maintained a nine-point lead all the way to the 4:02 mark in the second half (65-56). However, Wright State charged back into the game with a 10-3 run to get to within a point, 68-67, with 53 seconds remaining to set up the late game dramatics.
On the next possession, Kaili Lukan missed the second of a pair of free throws, and the Raiders Tayler Stanton came up with the defensive rebound. Traveling to the other end of the court, James' three went off target for Wright State, and freshman Tesha Buck grabbed the big rebound under the basket for the Phoenix. She then found Megan Lukan at midcourt on the break, where she was fouled with 14 seconds remaining. Lukan missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Demmings came up with the rebound for Wright State giving them an opportunity for a last-minute shot. The Phoenix defense stood strong, as a Kaili Lukan steal helped seconds tick off the clock, but she quickly turned it over again to put the ball in the hands of the hot-shooting Demmings, who's last-minute shot attempt fell short of the win, preserving the two-point victory for the Phoenix.
Thursday's contest marks the 55th meeting between Green Bay and Wright State, with the Phoenix leading the all-time series 51-3. Green Bay has won the last 24 meetings, including a close 69-67 win earlier this season at home. Of Green Bay's three losses in the series, all have come in Dayton.
Green Bay is coming off a 1-1 showing last week, with a 59-56 win over Cleveland State before being handed a 72-63 loss at the hands of Youngstown State. Sunday's loss to the Penguins snapped an eight game winning streak for the Phoenix, who was swept by a conference opponent for the first time since Milwaukee did it during the 2005-06 season.
The Phoenix attack is diverse, with five different players leading the top statistical categories. Sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) leads points (12.3), senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) leads rebounds (6.7), junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) is tops in assists (4.5) and freshman Tesha Buck is best in steals (1.7). Ranger is also the best in the conference shooting 53.3 percent (104-195) from the field.
Wright State enters Thursday's game tied with the Phoenix and Youngstown State atop the Horizon League standings with a record of 9-3. Owning an overall record of 20-7, Wright State has won five of its last six games since losing to Green Bay on Jan. 25. Wright State most recently defeated Detroit, 102-82, last Saturday. In its last five contests, the Raiders have scored 92 or more points including a program record 103 points against UIC on Feb. 15. As a team, Wright State currently leads the conference averaging 83.1 PPG but ranks just seventh allowing its opponents to average 76.0 PPG. It also leads the conference averaging 10.1 steals per game with a +9.6 turnover margin. Three Raiders are averaging double-digit scoring, led by top scorer in the conference and 12th nationally Kim Demmings (22.8), Ivory James (17.6) and Tay'ler Mingo (13.9). James also leads the team in rebounding (6.6) while Mingo paces the team in assists (4.4) and steals (2.1). Facing one of the top three shooting teams from deep for the third-consecutive contest, the Phoenix will also have to contend with conference leader Abby Jump, who is shooting 43.2% from beyond the arc.
1. Stat Stuffers: Seeing diversity from its top players this season, Green Bay currently boasts the only two players that rank among the conference leaders in four statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists and steals: junior Megan Lukan (9.2 PPG, 5.3 SPG, 4.5 APG, 1.7 SPG) and freshman Tesha Buck (9.8 PPG, 5.1 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.7 SPG).
2. Helping Hand: As a team, Green Bay currently leads the conference averaging 16.3 assists per game with a 1.1 assist/turnover ratio. The team's distribution has improved steadily over the conference season, where Green Bay has dished out 207 assists on 309 made baskets in 12 contests. The Phoenix has also recorded 18 or more helpers in seven of the last nine contests including 22 against Milwaukee on Feb. 15.
3. Off the Bench: The Green Bay reserves have provided an offensive spark in the last four contests, averaging 26.3 points per game, including a conference season-high 35 at UIC on Feb. 8. A bench player has been the leading scorer in two of the four games, with freshman Sam Terry leading the team at UIC and against Youngstown State. The bench has also seen a lot of valuable playing time, including against Valparaiso on Feb. 3 when all 12 Phoenix finished with at least one point in the contest, giving Green Bay its seventh game of the season where 10 or more players helped achieve the feat.
4. Feed it in: Green Bay has been able to capitalize on offensive production in the paint this season, receiving 46.9 percent (774-1649) of its total points from the lane while outscoring its opponents in the category by a +318 point margin (774-456). Green Bay has received more paint points than its opposition in all but one game this season, a loss to South Dakota State (12/7). In its game against Cleveland State on Feb. 21, the Phoenix tied a season-high with 44 paint points.
5. Hold 'em Down: Despite having the second lowest offensive production in the conferece (68.7 PPG), the Phoenix stingy defense currently leads the conference limiting opposition to just 59.1 PPG. The scoring margin of +9.6 is also the best in the Horizon League, and Green Bay is the only team to have a scoring defense average under 60.0, and just one of two under 70.0. This season the Phoenix is 11-1 when holding its foes to under 60 points.

Arsenal defender Faye White insists the team won't be taking anything for granted as they look to secure the inaugural Women's Super League crown.
The Gunners battled back from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Birmingham on Sunday and Laura Harvey's side know that three wins from their remaining three games will win them the title.
"We have already lost two games we should have won during the season so we won't be taking anything for granted in the next few weeks," White told Arsenal.com.
"But the title is in our own hands and that is all we could ask for going into the games against Doncaster, Everton and Liverpool."
White, who was an unused substitute in the draw against the Blues, believes her team's experience of winning trophies will be vital during the run-in.
"We have been in these situations before and it will certainly help us during the next three games," she said.
"As a side we know we can stand up to the big occasions and our ability to stand up and be counted when the pressure is on helped us dig out a point against Birmingham."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

With the birth of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the potential of every human being and then in a few short months we see the sacrifice of his life for the forgiveness of our sins. I believe the Lord intended this short time frame between these monumental events as a reminder of just how short life on earth is for us.
As we go through the stages of life, we celebrate each Christmas starting with a new baby being born into our extended families. What a joy they bring to each person as they imagine the potential of this new perfect little being. Then we see this group of babies grow up, complete their education, start their lives as adults and we hope they have a better life than the generation before them.
Their success means more to us than our own and their struggles concern us more than any issue we ever face.
As we enter the next stage, we see the older generation start to pass away. Each Christmas we wonder who will not be with us the next year and we remember those that are not with us that year. Once you lose someone you truly love your life changes forever and your understanding of life begins.
As I see much of the world in turmoil, I believe we have lost the focus on the golden rule of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." We seem to forget the many lives that have been lost to defend this great country, the hard work those that came before us performed day in and day out, the sacrifices our ancestors made for us to have a better life and the simple importance of just "being nice" to one another.
Please take this Christmas to look at your life and ask yourself "if I died today, have I helped anyone have a better life, have I treated everyone the way I want to be treated, have I made the world a better place, would my ancestors be proud of my work ethic and would anyone care that I was gone?"
If so, great. If not, use this year to make positive changes in your life, which will make changes in the lives of others. There is no greater compliment to your life than knowing you helped change people's lives for the better.
Give thanks for your many blessings, thank a veteran that you have the opportunity to achieve your dreams, thank a teacher, a coach, a friend, a parent, a family member or others that made sacrifices so you could have a better life as next Christmas they might not be there. By all means, tell those that you love how much they mean to you, as once again, we never know when we have seen someone for the last time in this life, but if you believe in Jesus Christ you will see them again one day.
May God bless you, your family and this great country this Christmas.
Darin Williams of LaRue County is site operations manager at Dow Corning in Elizabethtown.

Wailua Falls, Kauai
Wailua Falls
- Name: Wailua Falls
- What: Dramatic waterfalls that are easily accessible
- Where: North of Lihue, at the south end of the Wailua River
Wailua Falls, just north of Lihue, is a step off the beaten path. Located at the south end of the Wailua River, it cascades into two streams, dropping 80-feet below. Some even say the distance is more accurately described as 200 feet.
Like other spectacular spots on Kauai used as film locations, Wailua Falls is most recognized in the opening credits of the long-running television show "Fantasy Island." Easily accessible, Wailua Falls can be seen from the roadside, so you can leave your hiking boots behind. To get there, head north from Lihue and follow Maalo Road in Hanamaulu. Travel uphill for about three miles. If you visit in the mornings, you may be treated to a rainbow, making for an amazing photo of Wailua Falls.

I've been working in ESL/EFL since '95 and have worked in such diverse places as Korea and Saudi Arabia from language institutes to universities. However, I always felt a lack of security in these positions. For the last three years, I've been working at DLI in San Antonio, Texas. It's been great!! You want a career? You got it complete with federal retirement benefits. You don't want to work in the states? No, problem. Since I started working there, I've done six-month assignments in Slovakia, Japan and currently, Djibouti. When I decide to return to the US, I just slide right back behind my old desk.
Why am I writing this? Well, I know about some of the negative situations that are out there. I just want everyone to know that there are professional positions for EFL instructors. You just have to look for them.
Good luck,
PS Check out my blog for pictures of some of my recent travels!!

Yesterday I was doing a security scan of my wife's computer and had noticed that after the scan finished it had 2,000,000 plus files, where are all these files coming from? How do I get files reduced?
As you use your computer to browse the web, download e-mail, edit photos and all of the other daily tasks, many small files are created and stored in the process. These files vary from cache files that allow website images and video to display quickly to configuration files and user data.
While the gut reaction to seeing tons of files on your hard drive may be to spend hours going through directory by directory and deleting files, I would not. Instead, look at total space used and decide if it's necessary to free up room or if you've got plenty to spare. You can check by going to Computer or My Computer and right-clicking on your hard drive, then clicking Properties.
You will be shown a pie graph showing free space and used space on the hard drive. The blue color is the used space on your drive and the pink is the free space on the drive. You should only be concerned if the blue is the majority of the pie. You will also see a detailed breakdown of the used space and the free space.
You can click the Disk Cleanup utility for windows to scan and find various files that are usually safe to remove. You'll be shown a detailed list with checkboxes for what to remove. Once you're done selecting files to remove press OK and the cleanup utility will remove the files selected.

By Rob Kelly
Arsène Wenger has reiterated his "great respect" for Andrey Arshavin and dismissed the notion that the Russian does not care about not playing.
The 31-year-old has been restricted to 13 minutes of first-team action so far this season, but is expected to feature against Coventry in Wednesday's Capital One Cup third-round clash.
Wenger insists the attacking midfielder "deeply loves" football but has not featured much due to the depth of the Arsenal squad.
"I have personally a great respect for Andrey Arshavin because sometimes some wrong ideas are circulated about him - that he doesn't care, but it's completely the opposite. He's a 200 per cent professional who works very hard in training every day," he told Arsenal Player.
"At the moment he's a victim of the high level of competition that exists for places. He has a huge respect from everybody in the dressing room, and especially from the staff.
"I feel he's unhappy that he doesn't play because deeply he loves football and he practices every day with 100 per cent commitment. I'm happy to give him some competition on Wednesday night."

35 Years Ago: Frank Zappa Releases 'Studio Tan'
If Frank Zappa was still alive, you can bet he'd be the last person who'd want to celebrate the anniversary of 'Studio Tan,' an album he didn't sanction, sequence, or even approve cover art for. He was caught in a legal battle with Warner Bros. Records and former manager Herb Cohen at the time. On top of that, none of the songs included on 'Studio Tan' were even recorded in 1978; most of the tracks allegedly date from sessions between 1974 and 1976, with a couple of cuts even going as far back as 1969.
Zappa had hoped to weather his ongoing legal wrangles with Cohen by emptying his vaults into a massive, quadruple-LP set to be released all at once under the eyebrow-arching title of 'Lather.' But when Warner Bros. deemed such a package commercial suicide, the company methodically picked apart the vast trove of recordings delivered by Zappa and pieced together a series of technically unauthorized albums, including 'Zappa in New York,' 'Sleep Dirt,' 'Orchestral Favorites' and 'Studio Tan.'
There's no defense for the label's greed-motivated tampering, but by thwarting Zappa's original, typically schizophrenic artistic vision for 'Lather' (a vision that would not be properly realized until its CD release in 1996), Warner Bros. did attempt to group the huge chunk of material into somewhat cohesive smaller slices that fans could more easily digest. Still, it helped to be schooled in Zappa's vast universe — with its infinite instances of conceptual continuity interconnecting even the furthest reaches of his discography — to fully appreciate the four selections that were shoehorned into 'Studio Tan.'
Kicking it all off is the definitive studio version of 'The Adventures of Greggery Peccary,' a side-long, 20-minute absurdist 'Grand Wazoo'-period epic about a nocturnal, gregarious wild swine on his way up the corporate ladder who eventually meets the subject of another notorious Zappa song, 'Billy the Mountain.'
Side two of 'Studio Tan' keeps the comedy flowing with the falsetto and synthesizer surf of 'Let Me Take You to the Beach' before moving into the persistently playful "serious orchestral piece" 'Revised Music for Guitar & Low-Budget Orchestra' and wrapping up with the instrumentally ornate jazz experiments of 'REDUNZL.'
Despite the artist's misgivings about the edited state in which it was presented, 'Studio Tan' harbors plenty of engaging examples of Zappa's wide-ranging musical brilliance. We'd like to think, after all these years, that he wouldn't mind our celebration.

I know there's a really nifty color chart out there for both ROTJ and ESB Boba, but from what I can see, it doesn't cover the Humbrol part of the gauntlets. I've used Humbrol for everything else, so I'd like to see it through with Humbrol on the gauntlets as well. Help?

EPA plans to withdraw expanded definition of federal waters

North Platte will get another television station this fall, adding competition to KNOP-TV, which operates in the second-smallest television broadcast market in the United States.
The call letters will be KNPL-TV.
It will be a high definition station, a CBS affiliate, and provide local news coverage and a 6:30 p.m. news broadcast, president Jason Effinger said.
The acquisition comes on the heels of 10/11s addition of KSNB, a station in Superior that has been off the air since 2009.
Channel 10/11 has served the Lincoln-Grand Island areas for nearly 50 years, known by its call letter KOLN-KGIN. The company is actually owned by Gray Communications, which also owns WOWT in Omaha as well as 40 primary channels and 45 secondary channels in 30 television markets across the country.
The station will broadcast high-definition local newscasts in the North Platte market, Effinger said.
The addition of 10/11 North Platte is another step toward better serving the great local communities in Nebraska. he said.
10/11 News Director Sue Ramsett said having a statewide network means well be able to provide viewers in North Platte with local news and instant access to other news that matters to North Platte: daily Husker practice reports, updates from the Legislature, the State Fair, or Husker Harvest Days. The possibilities are endless.
The North Platte station will feature CBS programming, including NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service,) 60 Minutes, NFL football, and state programs such as Pure Nebraska and PrepZone Weekly.
KOLN in Lincoln started broadcasting 60 years ago in 1953. KGIN in Grand Island was added in 1961.
The station has also been the default CBS affiliate for North Platte and west central Nebraska for decades.
KNOP-TV serves about 15,000 "TV homes," according to a 2012 Nielson national study. That is No. 209 out of 210 television markets.
No. 210 is Glendive, Mont. a primarily agricultural area with just 4,000 TV homes.

text: I had never heard of this movie until Jennifer Lawrence got nominated for lead actress at the Golden Globes and was mentioned in the Entertainment magazine. I don't think that movie was distributed at even one theatre where I live. I rented the DVD and thought it was pretty good. It's an artsy kind of movie. The location is Missouri- Netflix mentioned it takes place in the Ozarks. I thought it was very well done. Definitely not a commercial film and Jennifer may be the only one to get any kind of recognition for it. It did win one of the international film festival awards though- I think Sundance.

First off, this isn't a tutorial (I suck at using a dremel) but more of just a log of my progress. Please give me some constructive criticism, I'd like to know how well my work stacks up to everybody else's standards.
Secondly, Sarge's helmet is amazing, but as he stated up front, there are a few minor imperfections; the bumps from the air bubbles.
Thirdly, please excuse the crappy quality of the pictures. My digital camera has a cracked screen so I can't see what exactly I'm trying to take a picture of. I just point it in the general direction of what I'm trying to capture and hope the pic turns out focused. Also the date is wrong, every time I take out the batteries the clock resets itself, and I can't see the menu on the screen to change it since it's cracked. So just ignore the two year old date on all the pics.
First and foremost: saftey first. Don't want annoying chips of resin flying up in your eyes, and don't want to choke inhaling all that dust.
In this pic i cut out the visor, and held it up in the hole, just holding it where it was once attached.
In this pic you can see that nasty bump on the left mandible, (as well as my goofy dog).
In the next pic you may (or may not) be able to make out the raised bumps on the lower cheeks along the bottom edge. While not horrible, the more I looked at them the more they bothered me.
Another left cheek angle.
Here's the right cheek.
Here's the left cheek after sanding with the dremel.
Now, in this shot, you can see how much better it looked once I sanded it by hand with a high grit piece of sandpaper. Notice the absence of that bump on the mandible shown in an earlier pic. (Ignore the right cheek; I had to go back and do more work on that side.)
The bottom tip of the mandibles weren't perfectly symmetrical either. Before:
After (not a good pic, I know, but it DOES look better):
In these next two pics, I was unhappy with where the RF stalk would sit in place. I wanted to insure that when it was up, it was completely vertical. And when down, absolutely horizontal and parallel with the top line of the t-visor.
Now, after some sanding. Much better.
And now the ear pieces. Just a tiny bit of sanding needed.
Finally, once all that was done, I taped in the visor just as a temporary placeholder to see how it looked when I wore the helmet. Not bad.
With all that said and done, I'd like to know what everybody thinks of the work I've done. Don't be afraid to offend, it IS my first helmet and I'm no expert, after all.
EDIT: Completely forgot to mention the keyholes on the back. The dremel I was using is old, and while it still works, I couldn't get the bit off to replace it with a cutting disc. It's pretty much FUBAR now. So in the meantime, the slots are still filled in. I might invest in another dremel, or just be cheap and drill them out (carefully!) with a tiny drill bit. Dunno yet.

On the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Peter Landesman has so pretty harsh words for "JFK" director Oliver Stone.
The "Parkland" helmsman, who did plenty of his own research on the tragedy before making his flick, is convinced, "Oliver Stone's film is an interesting fairytale… but it's bullsh*t."
It's hard to believe that it's been half a century since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while traveling in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas.
And on the 50th anniversary of this momentous event, GossipCenter looks at a handful of films (as well as a miniseries and a Made-for-TV movie) that were inspired by one of the most beloved Commanders-in-Chief America has ever known.
Heading to the Great White North to unveil his latest movie, Zac Efron arrived at the "Parkland" premiere during the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival on Friday (September 6).
Classing it up in a gray suit and matching tie, the "High School Musical" star worked the red carpet before heading inside for the flick.
Taking his career a step further, Zac Efron stars in the brand new trailer for "Parkland."
The story takes place at Dallas' Parkland Hospital on the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated back on November 22, 1963.
You won't have to wait too much longer to see Zac Efron on the big screen. Today (December 19) it was announced that the "High School Musical" star will join Marcia Gay Harden, Paul Giamatti, Billy Bob Thornton and Jacki Weaver in "Parkland."

I used to skate alot, and I wasn't remotely good to be sponsored, but I skated a fucking shitton for 15 years. I'm proud to say I did some pretty badass shit back then, but its been over a decade since I quit.

-couldn't do flips and verial tricks, just ollies and cabs. Every once in awhile I would pull off a pressure flip through complete luck
-I never spent any time above the lip on a vert ramp, wanted to but just never got into it...
I've never been as good as anyone who IS good at the sports I love, however I have been able to get just good enough to enjoy the speed and the enjoyment of the tri-sport (surf skate snow) stance. Surfing has been my number one love for over 20 years, and I don't get to do it very much or very well, but if theres 8-12 foot surf when I come to visit you better believe I go paddle out.
Common don't be mad at me cuz I like it when you fall down, that's what buddies do.
I had a vid of me hitting a very small kicker snowboarding but my buddy who took it is tech stupid and it got lost. Not only is it unimpressive but nothing bad happened either.
The pic in my avatar is from the preschool park if that makes you feel better.

How long have you been skatin' for?
Lets see you ollie down 4 stairs then another set, if it's so easy.
Obviously you could go up them too right?
Where are all your vids snowklanger?
Show me up, I love competition. Online "in your face"?
I don't think anyone could ollie up a set of 4 stairs then up another set of 4 stairs with only a 4 foot section in between.
They are longer than they are high, & you wouldn't be able to squeak a push in there, so until I see it, it can't be done.
I'm just getting closer to immortality!

It looks cool, but don't crash, ever. ever
If you you download the video & play it on your own media player you can fuck with the brightness & then it can be seen clearly.
I had to guide my friend over the phone to be able to download it because he's useless on a pc, but he thought it was worth the effort & couldn't stop laughing as I kept hearing the splat over the phone, again & again.
Should be good for a chuckle, I did about 2 seconds after it happened, in between the groans of agony because it hurt like a son of a bitch. My hip is so sore, I have a beautiful purple lump.
While I was setting up my camera the pigs drove by all slow & put the spot light on me. Of course with all the druggies thieves & hookers around, they gotta hassle the guy standing behind the tripod, fuck I hate cops.
Put this into consideration, if that was a normal skateboard & I ollied down a set of 4 stairs onto a 4 foot landing then quickly ollied down another set of 4 stairs, that would make me a not bad skater no?
So although I ate shit, I still think that's not too bad. I would never attempt that on a regular skateboard/longboard.
I'll be making another one, I just have to learn that I need to start on the bunny hill, rather than going for something more advanced right away.
But that probably won't happen, bunny hills suck.
Laugh it up bitches https://vimeo.com/47643689
Well that shitty particle board is always going to break.. My brothers make custom longboards out of different woods/fiber pressed together in my shop. They hate your idea but they are also pretty good and need their feet to move. (they race downhill and are good at slides and flat land stuff..)
I am like you, I suck on a longboard or skateboard.. I see the appeal, but you need a better deck and some kind of hand break as found on mountain boards. I won't longboard down hills because I'd like my flesh on the inside of my body, haha.
I screwed the 1x4 down but it didn't break just the plywood, it basically followed the inside line of the binding. The more I think about it, I sure am glad I added that 1x4.
If I hadn't added the 1x4, I bet you I would have done the splits.
I can just see what would have happened.
With my feet in the bindings & each foot having it's own set of wheels, there would be no way I'd have enough strength to keep my legs from sliding out, that could have been catastrophic.
|Hahahaha that's a brutal first day out. Where'd the board bust at? Was it between the truck baseplate (or whatever its called, the shit the bolts go through) and the 1x4 you nailed under the deck?
Originally Posted by Frozen View Post
Yes. I love when people make shit like this and I cant wait to see the video. But dude I'm not gonna lie, that wood in the first pic looks shonky as fuck. Are you sure it's not gonna bust in half?
For some reason, I didn't even bother riding it around for a bit, down a hill, nothin'.
I found a set of stairs, figured it looked not to bad, 4 stairs then about a 4 foot landing then 4 more stairs. But it was super dark, buy only @ the stairs. So I set up my camera, everywhere sucked. I couldn't set it up too far from where I was cause it was in the shitty end of town, lots of thieves, druggies & hookers.
Only @ night for some reason, during the day it's a Home Hardware with a doctors office next door, completely diff after dark.
Any way, the screws I used to fasten the 1x4 were a cunt hair to long. I ended up screwing them in on an angle to compensate.
One of the screws, I think, was going into my shitty Firefly bindings. So I backed it out a turn.
There was maybe 1/3 of the screw head sticking out on an angle, 2mm @ most.
Made the first set of stairs fine, but with only about a four foot landing area before the next set of stairs & a board close to three feet long. My front truck rolled off the top step before I could jump, the one screw I backed out a tiny bit was the first thing to touch the top stair.
My board instantly came to a dead stop. I did not, I launched into a dive only sideways off the top stair.
I was just finishing the jumping motion, I was literally a fraction of a second too slow. So I still got all the height, but dropped like a stone.
I'm sure you will be quite amused. I couldn't just pack it in with that being my only footage, so I walked it off for about 1/2 an hour & forced myself to give it one more try.
Went across the street to a diff set of stairs without a landing, just 3 stairs & a clean run out.
This time it worked, but the board snapped. So I got a whole 3 min on it before I broke it.
I'm gonna make another one & this time I'm gonna ride it & get used to it before I do any jumps.
So here is the successful one https://vimeo.com/47491053
I recorded the wipe out too, but there is a lot of blank footage in the recording, so I need to edit it but Windows movie maker keeps crashing & it is really dark. I can fuck with the brightness on my pc to make it watchable, but if I upload it to Vimeo, I don't think you guys will be able to adjust the brightness. So any ideas on how to make it work?

The beauty of a home network is that it can make life so easy--what could be better than sharing an Internet connection so that everyone can be online at the same time? With home networking you can move files from one computer to another, share resources, print to a single printer or multiple printers from any computer in the house, and IM the kids when they're holed up in their rooms. And the downside? Anyone who's ever had to troubleshoot a network glitch doesn't need to ask that question. The simple words, "Why can't I print? Why can't I get to the Internet? Why does my computer say 'Access Denied' today, when it worked fine yesterday?" are enough to send the home network administrator running for cover. And the concept of "network security" can keep the soundest sleeper tossing and turning all night.Currently, more than 8 million homes in the US have installed a network of some kind, and within five years, that number is expected to jump to 37 million. This speaks to the availability of easy-to-install home networking products. Unfortunately, there's also a glut of potential headaches that can occur after installation (and during, sometimes) with no warning label on the box saying, "This product sure to cause annoyances."But help is here. Home Networking Annoyances will ease the headaches and annoyances of anyone who runs a home network. This book tackles all the common annoyances associated with running your network--whether it's wired or wireless, or a combination thereof. Its friendly, off-the-cuff approach will put you in a position of power over those home networking glitches, including file sharing, printing, cabling, security, and much more. You'll find dozens of on-target tips, workarounds, and fixes that will help you improve your home networking experience in every way possible.Whether you're a mainstream business user or a home user with newly installed network hardware, you've probably had your patience tested by frustrating network maintenance issues. Take a stand against annoyances now: just as the bestselling PC Annoyances brought peace and happiness to PC users everywhere, Home Networking Annoyances is your ticket to serenity.

WATCH: An inside look at Black Sabbath in the Studio
Listen to Black Sabbath on iHeartRadio
Black Sabbath is happy with their upcoming album, "13." In a new trailer for the project, guitarist Tony Iommi says the material reflects the band's past without sounding stale.
Iommi adds that he really likes the new material, and says they have "some good stuff going."
He and Ozzy Osbourne also say they're pleased to be working with producer Rick Rubin. Iommi explains that they're all trying to bring out "a raw Sabbath" in the studio.
Ozzy also sees "13" as having a great deal of significance, and calls the disc "quite possibly the most important album" of his career.
Black Sabbath's "13" is the band's first project with Ozzy since 1978's "Never Say Die!," and the group's first new studio effort since 1995's "Forbidden." The album is due in stores in June.

Morris falsely claimed that "government is telling people, cut back on cesarean sections"
Research ››› ››› CHRISTINE SCHWEN & JOHN V. SANTORE
Dick Morris falsely claimed that "right now the government is telling people, cut back on cesarean sections, go through natural childbirth. It's a lower cost." In fact, the Obama administration is "telling people" no such thing
On the June 24 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Dick Morris falsely claimed that "right now the government is telling people, cut back on cesarean sections, go through natural childbirth. It's a lower cost." In fact, the Obama administration has not advocated "cut[ting] back on cesarean sections." Rather, the American Medical Association (AMA) proposed addressing "the overuse of certain services or procedures," [emphasis added] including cesarean sections, in response to the administration's stated goal of reducing the growth in health care spending.
The AMA and five other health care organizations issued the proposals in a June 1 letter to Obama to address the overuse of certain procedures. In its attachment to the letter, the AMA stated that the "AMA-convened" Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI) recommended addressing "the overuse of certain services or procedures," including "Induction of labor/Caesarean Sections." From the AMA attachment:
Efforts to Reduce Unnecessary Utilization
The PCPI initiated work in 2009 to address concerns about the overuse of certain services or procedures. Topics were selected based on priorities established by the Institute of Medicine, the National Quality Forum, the National Priority Partners and the PCPI. Selection criteria include high variation, high volume and high cost, availability of relevant guidelines, and the potential for improving quality and efficiency of care.
The PCPI selected the following topics for development of overuse measures this year:
- Maternity Care: Induction of labor/Caesarean Sections
Significance: There has been a substantial increase in the rate of elective induction of labor. Practice patterns are not always consistent with [American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists] guidelines. Expenses related to csection births account for 45% of the more than $79 billion in annual hospital charges atttributed [sic] to childbirth in the U.S. annually.
Morris previously used the June 1 letter to falsely claim that Obama favors "rationing" and eliminating cesarean sections and certain other medical procedures.
From the June 24 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
BILL O'REILLY (host): But [Rep.] Barney Frank [D-MA] and the Democrats are going to come back and they're going to say, we're Americans, we can do it better, and it's an unfair system, and we have to control costs. And I'm sympathetic to that cost thing because most working people I know, they're getting hammered by medical costs.
MORRIS: What controlling costs means is --
O'REILLY: -- is competition.
MORRIS: No. It means denial of services. It means you can't have that knee replacement because you're 70 years old. It means you can't have that bypass surgery because you're 75 and you're a diabetic.
O'REILLY: And that's what the government will do.
MORRIS: And that's what -- just as right now the government is telling people, cut back on cesarean sections. Go through natural childbirth; it's a lower cost.
O'REILLY: I see disaster ahead on this, I do. I see disaster ahead --
MORRIS: Me too.
O'REILLY: -- in two realms: the financial realm. I don't think he can afford it, and I don't think he can raise the money, and that there will be waiting lists and there will be all kinds of chaos.
MORRIS: And this could be his Waterloo.

Hey there Zammers!
As you know, I'm the Seattle Zam Project, running around at cons and parades this year in my version of the Zam Wesell costume. This is a really hard costume to make, to wear, and to maintain.
I've learned a ton, just completed my 12th day of trooping in it. For SDCC, I was in it for 7 hours the first day, 8 hours the second day, and 10 hours the last day.
So I thought I'd share what I've learned as this might help other Zammers. We have to make our costumes better than the originals because we wear them longer, and in more heat.
Belt - as you'll notice from pics, the belt failed me at SDCC. I have lost weight and with my upcoming surgery, will change my midsection a bit more. The original belt for Zam didn't appear to be made flexible or adjustable in size.
New plan: I'm putting a cloth military-like belt underneath the floppy ridged leather "belt" so that I can adjust it and keep it at my waist, where it belongs. Adding belt loops to the inside to keep the skirt and everything attached. That skirt is heavy and it pulls down more than you might think. (And I used a super thin leather, too.)
Vest: THe vest refuses to stay tucked down into the belt on its own. So I am adding controls to make it fasten to the inside of the new belt array.
Thumb guards: These pop off like freakin' crazy. I caught one in the middle of a parade halfway to the ground. Velcro keeps them on, but they are in a place that gets brushed off a lot.
toe claws: Hey, keep checking to see if they are on. One good brush of another person's foot - or you trip on a curb or something - and you can lose a claw. The paint came off the tips of them after the second troop.
Arm greeblie: The magnets are holding it to the sleeve, thank goodness, cause it comes untied if you look at it funny. I have a magnet in the back of the greeblie and another in the cloth pouch in the inside sleeve.
Making the same thing for the thigh greeblie because it takes a dive off of my leg all the time.
The neoprene is also getting fuzzies from the costume rubbing it in key spots.
Pics upcoming. Let me know if this is helpful.
