Edit Profile
Dr. Merit Cudkowicz is the Julianne Dorn Professor of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Cudkowicz completed medical training at the Health Science and Technology program of Harvard Medical School, and she was a resident in Neurology at Mass General. She obtained a Master's degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health. Dr. Cudkowicz's research and clinical activities are dedicated to the study and treatment of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, in particular amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Dr. Cudkowicz directs the Mass General ALS clinic and the Neurological Clinical Research Institute (NCRI) (formerly the NCTU). She is one of the founders and co-directors of the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS), a group of 92 clinical sites in the United States and Canada dedicated to performing collaborative academic led clinical trials in ALS. In conjunction with the NEALS consortium, she planned and completed seven multi-center clinical trials in ALS and is currently leading three new trials in ALS. Dr. Cudkowicz received the American Academy of Neurology 2009 Sheila Essay ALS award. She is actively mentoring young neurologists in clinical investigation. Dr. Cudkowicz is on the Research Council of the American Academy of Neurology and the medical advisory board for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
My research activities are dedicated to the study and treatment of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Huntington's Disease (HD). I design human clinical trials to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of therapies that have shown promise in preclinical studies. I built a neurology clinical trial unit and also formed an international consortium to test novel therapies in ALS, the Northeast ALS (NEALS) consortium. The NEALS consortium consists of 92 clinical sites in the United States and Canada dedicated to performing joint academic led clinical trials in ALS. We completed seven multi-center clinical trials in ALS. We are leading three new trials in ALS, ceftriaxone, KNS 760704 and a an antisense oligonucleotide to superoxide dismutase (SOD1) in people with familial SOD1 ALS. There is a critical need in neurology for highly trained clinical investigators who work collaboratively with basic scientists to develop new therapeutic strategies. In collaboration with Drs. Ravina, I was awarded a contract from the NINDS to create a training course in Clinical Trial Methods for neurologists.

As VISA launches the digital wallet V.me, a "digital wallet" in a bid to be relevant in the proliferation of cloud payment credentials, VISA and other incumbent payment providers should be concerned that in a cloud-based economy, it may lose its position in the market.
Presently VISA owns the lion's share of credit and debit/prepaid plastic in circulation globally. (VISA 2,400MM vs. MasterCard 1,000MM)
Up-starts such as Square and digital innovators such as Paypal are trying to challenge the status quo and change the way people pay with plastic. Google and Apple continue to disintermediate the card vendors by aggregating large volumes of transactions and pass them back to the banks as "prepaid" with low interchange fees. All in all, new payment players are looking at the old business hegemony of VISA and MasterCard and going OTT (over-the-top).
It is not about eliminating plastic. And it is not really an issue of whether these plastic holders are going the way of vinyl; but more importantly an issue of the business model behind these card and card credentials. Roles are being commoditized.
Cards are simply a way to store and relay banking credentials to the POS in the store and the POS in the cloud. In the US this is no more than a number that is stored on a magnetic swipe and embossed in the plastic. In the rest of the world this number is housed more securely in a chip. A chip that can be emulated securely in the phone chip (or SIM).
It is unlikely that the costly backend systems in the US and Europe that deal with fraud and regulatory issues will be displaced. And that the 2,400MM VISA cards and the 1,000MM MasterCard that use these systems will disappear. (*)
However, as VISA and MasterCard continue to be the trusted brands on every online and physical store they may find that their margins dipping. As banks try to revamp their mobile banking applications and ATMs to be more relevant to their peripatetic customer, fewer value added fees and services will impact their margins.
The question to ask is who owns the customers relationship because it is ultimately this relationship (the final foot) that they can monetize. The emergence of mobile and card-linked offers is making the point-of-sale systems in the cloud and eventually in the store, the new promotional depots for digital deals and coupons. So called "big data" and value added services will ultimately yield the most profit.
*(In emerging markets, where there little infrastructure, companies like M-Pesa service the unbanked via their mobile phone account. VISA has entered these emerging markets through acquisition of Fundamo and MasterCard through a partnership with Telefónica. Similar to the US, these companies are vying for the last-mile relationship.)

NEW YORK -- For the second consecutive night in the Big East Conference tournament, Notre Dame won a game with little production from its top player.
Jack Cooley, who posted 19 double-doubles this season, scored only six points Thursday, but thanks to teammates Pat Connaughton, Jerian Grant and Garrick Sherman, the 24th-ranked Irish were able to bump off 12th-ranked Marquette 73-65 in a quarterfinal matchup.
Notre Dame, seeded sixth, meets second-seeded Louisville in the semifinals on Friday. It's a rematch of the epic five-overtime game the Irish won 104-101 on Feb. 9
Connaughton led the Irish (25-8) with 18 points. Grant scored 17 and Garrick Sherman tossed in 16 points off the bench.
Eric Atkins added eight points for the Irish, including a critical three-point play that gave Notre Dame a 62-54 lead with 2:59 to play. Connaughton's 3-pointer upped the Irish's lead to 65-57 with 2:24 left.
"It's a great luxury to have all ... of those guys," said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey.
Cooley, who fouled out, had six rebounds and two assists. He totaled only two points in the first-round win against Rutgers on Wednesday.
Third-seeded Marquette (23-8) received 16 points from Jamil Wilson and 14 from Junior Cadougan.
Connaughton has made 12 of 18 3-pointers in the two Big East tournament games this week.
The second half featured 13 lead changes, the last one coming at 52-50 when Sherman converted his own miss with 6:32 to play.
That started a 9-2 run by Notre Dame. Cooley, an all-Big East selection, came up with two of Notre Dame's 12 offensive rebounds. The first he put back for a 54-50 lead, and the last led to a feed to Connaughton for a 3-pointer that made it 59-52 with 3:30 left.
"I'm proud of Jack Cooley because it wasn't a real good night, but he kept trying and he kept plugging," Brey said. "He made some big plays for us.
"Garrick (Sherman) was fabulous. I think we found another weapon here in March."
The Irish led 29-25 at halftime.
Tom Knight and Connaughton picked up where they left off on Wednesday against the Scarlet Knights. Knight led the Irish with eight first-half points and three rebounds, and Connaughton contributed six points and a steal before the break. The duo combined for 39 points in the 69-61 victory over Rutgers.
Marquette led 17-4, but the Irish fought back, outscoring the Golden Eagles 25-8 over the final 10:46 of the half.
"The game didn't start really well for us, but we fought back," Brey said. "There was no panic."
Marquette is in good shape for an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament, but its coach acknowledges there is work to be done in the next week.
"We need to learn from our offensive inadequacies," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "We shot 50 percent (in the first half), but we turned it over 11 times. Our turnover rate was way too high.
"The season isn't over. This part of the season is over, but we need to learn from it and grow from it."
NOTES: Marquette posted back-to-back 14-4 seasons in the Big East Conference. ... With a deep rotation, the Golden Eagles feature six players who contribute at least 6.4 points a game. ... Marquette junior forward Davante Gardner earned the conference's Sixth Man Award. ... Notre Dame wore its Adidas lime green uniforms with camouflage shorts and matching sneakers. ... Notre Dame only shot 41.5 percent overall in Wednesday's second-round meeting with Rutgers, but it connected on 10 of 17 from 3-point range. On Thursday, the Irish shot 40 percent overall, including 7-for-20 from long distance. ... Thursday was the first time Marquette and Notre Dame met in the conference tournament since the sixth-seeded Golden Eagles beat the third-seeded Irish 89-79 in the 2008 quarterfinals.

Cefalù is a small fishing village in Sicily, located in the province of Palermo, nestled between the sea and the mountains. The town is essentially divided into two sections, and old section and a newer section. The older part of town is characterized by narrow, cobblestone streets, older buildings and monuments and a number of small boutiques and excellent restaurants. The newer part of town, instead, has supermarkets, gas stations and the like. Cefalù has become extremely popular in recent years, for the combination of its beach and the historical monuments that it contains.The older part of town is dominated by the impressive Cathedral, founded in 1131. You can also check out the medieval washing place, where women did their washing up until a few decades ago. There's also the Osterio Magno, once the residence of the Norman King Roger II and the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna, dedicated to the Madonna. Finally, check out the Temple of Diana, which dates back to the 9th century BC. If you're looking to enjoy the beach but catch a little culture as well for a week or a weekend, Cefalù is the place to go! Use EasyToBook.com to find the discount hotels Cefalù has to offer; in Cefalù, cheap hotels may not be easy to find during summer months, so look into surrounding villages as well. Given the large number of Cefalù hotels, make sure you do some research on the hotels in Cefalù to choose one that's right for you.


text: I was at the post office picking up my 2nd Duck Stamp the other day, and they let me know they were running low. When I asked if that was normal for that station they said, "No, but it's not just our branch. All Post Offices got less than they did last year by about half." They didn't know if there were too many printed last year or what, but the moral of the story is that if you haven't bought yours yet.... Better get it done.

yep, exact same here.
beats the hades out of the paper tape that was the storage for the first computer I used. If you have ever had to use punch cards, this was a major improvement.
From a designer standpoint, I like the colors and vintage look but there's way too much text and the fonts are overused. The art looks like clipart you download for free from Microsoft. But maybe that adds to the charm?
xxchange wrote:Did they have Arial font in 1971?
It appears to be Helvetica. Note that the terminals of the 'S' character are perfectly horizontal, while in Arial the upper terminal would be slightly tilted. Helvetica was introduced in 1957, and the floppy was introduced while Helvetica was on the ascendancy in advertising for its bold, legible character. You're right, though, in noting that Arial was first made available in 1982.

Yeah, I know - we also walked to school in the snow uphill both ways..... *sigh* I teach school and my current 7th graders didn't know life before flash drives. I remember when my Zip drive DOUBLED the memory on my Powerbook. Ok, I'll stop now and give the thread back to you whippersnappers.
tl;dr: this was my vote in the derby, I'm thrilled to see it print, and I'm in for 1 today (and probably another next week!)
I did walk through the snow uphill both ways in the '70s - I lived in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where the shortest route to my high school was through a wooded hill [developed my senior year] - up from my house and then down into the high school. AND I learned to program the first time [and the second time] on punch cards I'm a 59-er [Late Baby Boomer].
I worked on an old IBM mainframe computer in 1987. It was powered up rarely, to test and maintain one program. Most of the time, it wasn't even turned on. The mainframe was just old, some of the peripherals were truly ancient. In particular, there was this one huge metal box. This box was from the era, when IBM made all of their cabinets so they just barely fit into the smallest common freight elevator.
This box was a disk controller. It was connected to the mainframe via the "channel interface". The disk drives it controlled were the washing machine sized thingies with the cake platter disks. They were newer than the controller, so they were on the order of 80Mbytes.
The controller had a stupid little processor of its own, so it could manage the conversations between the disk drives and the mainframe channel interface. This stupid little processor needed to load its software from somewhere.
The hard disk controller booted from the read only floppy disk drive, hidden in the cabinet. Once the controller finished booting, it turned off the floppy disk drive. It wouldn't access it again until the next boot. It had no need to write stuff to the floppy, because once it was up and running, it could save data to the big disk drives.
We had some spare parts. The data cables were about an inch in diameter. We had some that were the maximum safe length for one person to install. That is to say, the cables were 60 pounds each. If it was any longer, and therefore any heavier, OSHA rules required two people to lift it. The computer was in a machine room with raised floors. The huge cables ran under the floor between the cabinets.
The controller cabinet was mostly empty, but it looked impressive from the outside. When you bought hardware from IBM in the early 1970s, you got your money's worth (edit: or at least it looked that way. The thing cost more than a nice car).
It looked like cardboard to me. This wasn't one of those modern floppies like we had in 1975, that was used for saving and transporting data, this was just used for booting the peripherals. Something that happened once every few months, or less.
[Edit: Since this is now a quality post, I thought I should fix up the low quality grammar.]
"Only 8 inches!" XD
Many years ago when my dad closed his computer business, I found a stash of 8 inch floppies in their own plastic storage case while helping him clear out. This was back when CDs were starting to take off. I thought they looked like 5 inch floppies on steroids.
And now we're using micro SDs XD
This shirt is brilliant. Will definitely be in for 3. I have so many nerds in my life!
I would say more like 1981....
Love the design but why Olive green? Why can a design be put onto the color choice of the purchaser?
Forgot to mention... In 1979, I went to college. The University had an RJE station that loaded its firmware from a deck of punched cards. Or rather, it would have loaded the software that way, if they still used it. When I saw it, it was a pile of junk in the basement.
Booting off of an 8 inch read only floppy, is a vast improvement over booting off of a stack of punched cards that was six inches tall.

Nice photo. Dang. Makes me wish I'd kept some punch cards. Remember real confetti? If someone posts a photo w/a punch card and the 3 floppy sizes, we might throw you a ticker-tape parade!
History question for youngsters: what's the difference between confetti and ticker-tape?
Congrats Firefrogh!!!
Nicely done, reminds me of playing Bird vs Dr. J one on one on my first Apple
It's funny, because it's true.

Nah. By '81 the 5.25" disks were around, and the 3.5" weren't that far off.
sylgern398 wrote:Too bad the shirt gets the technology wrong.
Floppys like that weren't read only and the enclosures weren't cardboard, they were more like Tyvek.
Agreed. that is the deal breaker for me.
I'm only 22. I used floppy disks in middle school. I'M NOT FLOPPY.
My thoughts exactly!
TronGMZ wrote:Agreed. that is the deal breaker for me.
Read the rest of the posts. The shirt is 100% correct for the original 1971 8" floppies. These were only used in mainframes, predating the PC by quite a few years.
I don't understand what size to get- they said all woman's shirt sizes changed a few days ago- but the sizing chart is the old one. Is this shirt on the new size or old one? Frustrated
phonedog365 wrote:Understood but stating "Read-only" and "Storage" in the same clause is an oxymoron, isn't it?
Unless it's supposed to be clever. Hmm.
Nope. The data is still stored, you just can't add to it. If you buy a blu-ray of a movie, the movie is still "stored" on the disc, but you can't add your clever mashup of My Little Pony and Thundercats.

"Impossible Mission" was so awesome! And I'm in the same boat, no idea what happened to my 64 or 1541. I think my dad sold them while I was away at college. My fave game was "Paradroid"--there's a PC port, but I couldn't get it to work right.
Ahh not read/write if they have the notch taken out ;-) have to put tape over that to make read/write ;-)

Ooops - Should have had my coffee before I posted - in for one!
I get the joke, but the "designer" really messed it up by his clumsy mix of 1950s style clipart, Helvetica (or is that Arial?), the distressed-look filter, and Brush Script.
Coulda been good if he'd adopted a style appropriate to the floppy's time, but FAIL.
nocorvair wrote:LOL.... Quote of the day.
As an "old timer"... I remember the first PCs...having TWO floppy drives was an upgrade and a big deal. You could read your program AND write your data! Floppies being one sided. the notching punch to make them writable. the foil tape/tab to make them read only. making single sided disks "dual sided" by cutting out the backside... ah, the days. For those who quote audio cassettes... those came later in the commodore/amiga/TRaSh-80 days.
It is with fond memories and great frustration that I recall the punchcards of yore... I bid them farewell back with COBOL and FORTRAN and Assembler...
COBOL is still used in the banking industry. The Copybook is a beast.

text: Jail authority chief updates lawmakers on guard investigations By Phil Kabler December 10, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The state's Regional Jail Authority's executive director updated legislators on Monday on two ongoing investigations of allegations of excessive use of force by correctional officers at the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville.Joe DeLong said one internal investigation has been completed, with six officers receiving disciplinary actions ranging from suspensions without pay to termination. A seventh officer resigned during the course of the investigation, he said.DeLong did not identify the officers.The other incident, involving eight correctional officers, is still under investigation by the State Police. That investigation could result in criminal charges, DeLong said.He said officials at the Regional Jail Authority central office are not directly involved in that investigation."Although we will cooperate with anything they do, we also try to get out of their way," he said. DeLong last month told the Legislative Oversight Committee on Regional Jails and Corrections that 15 correctional officers at Western had been suspended pending investigations of excessive use of force, including one incident that led to the hospitalization of an inmate.Last month, DeLong said he was particularly concerned that other officers had failed to report the incidents in what he called a "buddy system" culture at the jail. He referred to it as, "See nothing. Report nothing. Do nothing."DeLong said Monday that he had not ruled out disciplinary action against Western jail administrator Mike Clark or chief correctional officer Carl Aldridge.However, he said the top administrators at Western work on the day shift, while the incidents under investigation occurred on the evening shift.DeLong said it is difficult to retain good mid-level managers at the regional jails at the corporal or sergeant level, since the salary increase of about $1,000 doesn't make up for the additional duties and responsibilities.Reach Phil Kabler at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1220.

'"This stretch is extremely demanding, four games in six nights," Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. "We threw everything we had at them in the second period, and if not for four or five saves by (Nikolai) Khabibulin, its over. We would have liked to have gotten another point out of it. We thought two out of three was going to be a good number and we ended up with three out of six."'

Cogeneration allows Washington plant to make fuel
From Green Right Now Reports
What's the best way to cut the cost of treating wastewater? How about using the treatment byproducts as fuel?
That was the creative solution implemented at the Budd Inlet Treatment Plant by the LOTT (Lacy, Olympia, Tumwater and Thurston County) Alliance in Washington State late last year. The renewable energy system, combined with an aeration blower retrofit currently underway, is expected to save LOTT more than $228,000 a year in utility costs.
The cogeneration system, expected to save nearly $180,000 a year in utility costs, enables the cogeneration plant to provide all of the heating required at the site as a "district heating" plant, eliminating the need to burn off excess digester gas and greatly reducing the emissions of the site. The blower retrofit, scheduled for completion in August, 2010, is expected to save more than $48,000 in utility costs for the LOTT Alliance.
LOTT's cogeneration system converts methane gas to heat and energy for use in LOTT's Regional Services Center, which will be completed in July, and for future use in the new Hands On Children's Museum, which will be located next to the plant. The Regional Services Center houses the Water Education and Technology (WET) Center, an educational center for ages 10 and older, a water quality laboratory, and offices.
Puget Sound Energy provided a $1.7 million Energy Conservation Grant to install the cogeneration system.
As an innovative, renewable energy technology, the cogeneration system supports plans to earn LEED certification for the LOTT Regional Services Center and the new Hands On Children's Museum.
"As a public wastewater treatment facility, responsible use of community resources represents the core of our work," said Doug Mah, president of the LOTT Alliance board of directors and mayor of the City of Olympia. "We're pleased that we can further our commitment to environmental stewardship with these improvements."

Sentences for teenage girls involved in Takim Smith murder
Sentences handed down for the two young women who admitted their involvement in the murder of Takim Smith earlier this year.
10 years in prison for 18-year-old Keyanna Bradley and 6 years for 17-year-old Mariyah Zeigler. They said they used promises of sex to lure Smith to an apartment in Corliss Park, Troy - where five young men beat, robbed and stabbed him.
Four of the men involved have already been sentenced. One more will be sentenced next month.

text: I have the Kury 4" extensions with the Kury floorboards and the wife LOVES them. They're very adjustable as far as angle and I found the best position with them angled toward the rear rather than the front. When angled forward, they can interfere with the rider's legs at stops. Angled back still very comfortable for her and she says she doesn't feel like she's sitting on top of the bike anymore.

sounds like a very normal reaction. stings seem to cause different degrees of reaction in different places on the body, along with the amount of venom they manage to get into you.send your (female) SO to the drug store for some Vagisil.
One day this summer I was stung 5 times. Very little itching. About 3 days ago I was stung on the forearm. It still itches and is red. Yesterday twice. I got stung on the neck below the chin and it is red, semi swollen, and itches. Then later on I got stung on back of the head below the crown. Just a little itching.I'm used to yellow jackets and wasps getting me often with nothing but pain to deal with. I don't understand the itch now. The only thing different is I treated with oxalic acid a month or so ago. Does anyone have a beekeeping trick for the cure? I have an epi pen in case I start shutting down one day.
I get stung quite frequently and it always itches over the spot where I got stung. I thought that this is the standard. Getting stung and not itching is something that I've never heard of.

text: Not a surprise. Both need sets giving space. James is usually hard-charging and Wade likes the lateral method. They stay out of each others way. Now, the Pistons have Monroe and Drummond confining themselves from 12 ft. inward (I am being generous). Smith, depending on that nights mood, doesn't communicate and clashes with the 4-5. Another Smith mood then acts like a turnstile in reverse: spreads the floor and thinks like a Kyle Korver (minus the positive effects), and the 4-5 are compensated with the likes of additional rebounds. You can't win games this way, but at least some residual benefits occur for those rebounds that helps brings smiles to those 4-5 and their statistical end-game..those double-double lines. Now Stuckey just loves the free and open range. He can drive and make haste for every opportunity that needn't worry him. No worry about pace, placement of the other four and a general recognition about the leverage that any player, on any give day (and hopefully stretches), will have a hot touch. For him, there is no finder's fee. At arm's length, I am nothing but a captured selfie.

Have not been out hunting all that much so far this year. Kids activities keep getting longer/busier. Took the day off and had some time to hunt so went to my local river. Did meet another hunter who was getting ready to pack it in and it was an enjoyable talk about ducks/surfing/storm damage. As for the hunting few ducks seen and none shot at. Had two ducks? with red/dark brown heads, slim necks dark body and all divers as they both dived under and came back up 20 feet from where they doved. They swam into the dekes and for the life of me I could not figure out what type of duck they were. Not knowing I did not take a shot.
Also it seems to me that both the Navisink and Shrewsbury are much higher the usually. I wonder if so much sand from Sea Bright/Monmouth Beach was dumped into the river that it has raised the normal height of river. Seems to be a extra foot or so. Anyone else notice this? or is Barnaget Bay higher? Just wondering.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Delfino Delivers, Nov 3, 2008.
LOL, I don't deal with What ifs.
Correction: The article says that CB and Samb didn't take their physicals yet, but Dice's physical doesn't affect Iverson playing because Dice is negotiating a buyout.
Well, he already was on a road trip with a suitcase and I'm pretty sure there are flights from Charlotte to Denver. I wonder if there is some league mandated must report within x hours rule.
I doubt it. Keith Van Horn never reported, did he?
From what i understand he went back to DET and is currently at his home. He did live here for 6 years. Might want to say good-bye to a few ppl.
(i) The player must report for such physical examination at the time designated by the Team (which shall be no later than the third business day following the execution of the Contract), and must, upon reporting, supply all information reasonably requested of him, provide complete and truthful answers to all questions posed to him, and submit to all examinations and tests requested of him. The determination of whether the player has passed the physical examination shall be made by the Team in its sole discretion. If the player does not pass the physical examination, the Team shall so notify the player no later than the sixth business day following the execution of the Contract. He has to report for the physical within 72 hours of the paperwork being executed, but I didn't find anything about how long that could take. All right, he can have a couple of days. I just want to see AI putting up some numbers for my fantasy team. :fingerscr
He should do what I do. Don't say goodbye.
They traded him. They didn't issue him a lifetime banishment from DET. He can't come back?
He can come back, ONCE HE LEAVES!
I will stand behind him too kicking his asssssssssssssssssss if he don't get on that flight, get the darn physical so I can see AI play tonight. He can visit and say his goodbyes on a non-duty day....lol
What if Samb can't do a pull-up... or has a hernia and fails his physical? Does the deal unravel?
AI can't wear Billups jock because it is probably too small. I think Billups ____ shriveled up and fell off during the playoffs last year...Yep..that's the way I see it...lol
Yeah Roscoe, well said. YES WE CAN. I love the change, it's about time.
Sheed and AI are tight, buddies. They do that Philly basketball camp thing together. Haven't you all seen the chemistry between AI and Sheed when AI comes to town? Rip is in on that too.
I think the team gets to determine the criteria for passing the physical. In this case, I suspect showing up will get it done.
I hope CB loafs to Den just to piss you off G.
Stucky is going against me this week.... I want AI in the starting lineup now.... lol
You guys have been compromised.
It only makes sense that he makes his debut against Boston.
I guess I not really implying that I think they aren't cool with each other. Maybe i'm just taking Sheed's little interview too seriously. I'm just not a fan of how it was handled publicly, the "yeah, yeah, this might be good or it might not," or the "what we had was now gone" from Prince. Sure its gone; our PG was traded, and its not going to be smooth at first.

Any A/C issues out there?
Man, I hate to bring up an issue that doesn't exist, but has anyone had any A/C issues? Particularly in the early E90 models. It's been over 100 in south Texas and it's gotten me thinking about our super cold A/C systems...and reliable thus far. FWIW, I just knocked on a cedar post :)
I have an '08 328i and it went out a little past 65,000 miles this April. The dealer replaced quite a bit and would have been an expensive repair had I not had the extended warranty. A coworker had his go out about 80,000ish on an '06 325i for another data point. Good luck, hope yours keeps cold for many miles to come. I feel sorry when I see people driving all windows down in this 95+ humid weather.
Just had my 2009 re-charged at the dealer. It was blowing lukewarm air. Now it is nice and frosty. They couldn't find a leak so I'm not sure what is going on there though. We'll see how long it lasts. Car has 38k on it. Didn't cost me anything, which was nice.:thumbup:
If it's a slow leak you might be good for a couple of years... :rofl: Not good way to treat things though.
For what it's worth, after 6 years and about 70k miles my E46 began blowing warm air/cool (but not cold) air from different vents. Multiple leaks were repaired ($1000+) and the system was fine for four more years at which point the symptoms returned. I went to a local mechanic who found the sytem to be very slightly below optimum charge. After a re-charge (total cost $100), it again blew cold air until traded a year later.
So I suspect AWCoupe should be OK for awhile.
My 2008 e92 is doing fine but it only has 30k miles. My e46 went almost 100k miles before the compressor failed. In my experience that's pretty typical. Yours may last longer or less. Compressors are made by parts suppliers. Not sure who makes BMW's. Denso supplies a lot of oems.
Dealership wants me back on August 14th for a re-check. They plan on keeping the car all day. Already have a loaner booked. Unhappy with the situation but pleased with the customer service. While I was there, my SA ordered a new cabin filter and the brake fluid flush, which was due in October. She is also getting me back in for the free annual oil change in September, which will be the last one of the freebies. The car comes off of the 4year/50k in October.
Keeping my fingers crossed and hope to have this issue resolved after the August appointment. If it continues to be a problem, the SA said A/C recharges are covered under the CPO, but I'd have to pay the diagnostic charge. We will see. This is my first BMW and I love how the car drives but this is my third warranty claim in the last three months. I've only owned the car since last November. Not a good omen.
Just a quick oh BTW, my 2002 Mustang GT that I bought brand new and still own has the original factory fill of refrigerant that left Dearborn, Michigan back in October of 2001. I've never had it serviced. Car has 140k on the clock. Turn on max A/C and you need to break out the hat and gloves. That car stickered for 23k. My 2009 BMW 328 coupe window sticker: 47k.(I bought the car CPO for 30k) Just sayin....
Sorry to hear it - let us know what the final fix entails. Seems like it's the luck of the draw as 4 of the 5 Bimmers I've owned since 1997 have had no A/C issues with milages ranging from about 40 to 70k. The 128i 'vert just completed a trip thru the south with indicated temps up to 113o and the A/C cooled very well. OTOH, my last Ford, a '91 SHO, ran with no A/C after 80k as my repair budget had long been spent on too many other items.
Hope everything is finally sorted out for you with a minimum of expense and bother.
There's two things you all should know about BMW ac systems.
First is that like all automakers, they DO allow a "loss" or refrigerant each year. It usually between 15-30 grams. Which isn't much, but can add up after 5-10 years.
Second thing is that e-90s are prone to infinitesimally small leaks on the evaporator. You will NEVER find them at the same time it is being serviced.
If you lose charge over 2-3 years, the only way to fix it (assuming you don't have a large, obvious leak like a hole in the condenser via a rock) is to add tracer dye and recheck it months later. Generally, the dye will be found exiting the hvac unit through the ac condensate drain under the car if its the evaporator. There are no other common leaks on the e-90.
The evaporator is made by valeo, and they make them for many automakers... Unfortunately, BMW is not the only company to have issues with them.
If they are leaking, it's usually so tiny that it literally takes years for enough loss to effect the system.
Also note that if it is leaking, you may be able to smell the odor of refrigerant oil when you first fire up the blower motor. It has an odd smell... Very "chemical" like.
Replacing the evaporator is quite expensive. The dash and all associated components must come out.
Many people opt to just evacuate ands recharge every 2 years to maintain system pressures. It's not perfect, but 200 bucks is better than 1800.
Manybrews, good info. I was hoping that I was going to be good for a year or more but that isn't my situation. The system needed a charge after 7 short weeks.
New news is that after filling out a performance survey that the dealership emailed me earlier this week about my visit and my level of satisfaction, I get a call from the customer service manager regarding my less than glowing review in the survey. He wanted to know if I would have a problem with them holding the car for a few days when I go back in August so they can get to the bottom of this. He has a claim into BMW NA to get authorization to go ahead and start pulling stuff apart to get this resolved. If they OK the expense, I can see where they would yank out the dash or whatever needs to be done to fix this leak. Manybrews may be on to something with the evaporator. I told him whatever it takes. He was cognizant of the fact that the car comes off warranty in October and seems determined to get this handled before then. Now that's what I expect to hear from somebody regarding a problem with something that I spent mucho coin on. Not, "Sorry can't duplicate the problem", or in this case "Can't find the leak." Again we will see what happens. If your dealership sends you a survey and you have a beef, fill it out and make your voice heard. Somebody actually reads those things. At least in this case. Good to know.
I guess BMW of Bridgeport wants to protect their Service Center Excellence Award that only 13 dealerships in the country got last year. Stay tuned........
Good info, AWCoupe. Those surveys must be pretty important and I suspect they mean more than just an award...cash incentives and hold back for the dealership is my guess.
Its always good to keep in touch if you ever get an email from a gm or sm I've started up a relationship with the GM at my dealer simply by responding to an email saying if you need anything email me, so I did and he wound up attaching my concerns (not complaints to half the staff at the service department) going out of the way and forming relationships is a must :thumbup: I also don't expect free stuff or cheap repairs... I just want fair :)
I would say that the issue is almost assuredly a leaking evaporator... Although it obviously could be other things, the fact that it is becoming a more common failure combined with the difficulty in locating the leak pretty much points at the evaporator.
Hah, my 07 328xi stopped blowing cold recently. Something wrong with the low pressure side, expansion valve I believe. In the shop right now under warranty (which ends in two weeks! phew).
Yea, my AC works better then the heater! Keep expecting to see my breath ... I only have 42K on it but it's working great!
My '08 works perfectly. Then again, I only have 33K miles. I think there are several points to be made on this topic. First, aside from mechanical failure (i.e. accident), evaporators should always be suspected for refrigerant leaks. While often well designed, the evaporator is the site of brutal conditions: liquid refrigerant under pressure is being forced through an orifice tube or expansion valve where it sublimates into a gas absorbing heat. The hurricane-like conditions inside the evaporator (liquid being sprayed at high pressure and speed) is matched by the thermal conditions the evaporator is being exposed to (heat and then cold) which causes expansion and contraction of the evaporator. All of this adds up to stress: thermal stress and mechanical stress and stress equals cracks and leaks over time.
Diagnosing an evaporator leak solely using dye is an exercise in futility in my opinion. The evaporator is buried in the dash with makes finding the tell-tale dye stains from a leak next to impossible regardless of whether the mechanic is using a visible light or UV (ultraviolet) dye. The better solution for diagnosis is to use a combination of UV dye and a refrigerant gas detector (aka 'sniffer'). The refrigerant gas detector has a small diameter flexible tube that houses the detector head and, in many cases, the plumbing for a mechanical vacuum pump. The mechanical vacuum pump draws leaking refrigerant in to the detector head, triggering an alert to the operator. See here for example of a refrigerant gas detector. Using a refrigerant gas detector is to find an evaporator leak can be particularly effective because the long flexible tube can be inserted into dash and defroster vents in proximity to the evaporator. The user need not visually see the leak or the leak detector tell tale to confirm a leak.
There are 2 SAE standards for leak detectors: SAE-J-2791 (newer) and SAE-J-1627 (older) The newer standard requires that detectors be able to detect leaks at a level of 4g/joint/year versus 14g/joint/year. Many techs may have a leak detector certified to the older standard and may therefore miss very small leaks.
Finally, the e90 has a relatively small amount of refrigerant: 590g (1.3 lbs) and a tight tolerance band (+/- 50g .02lbs). A small leak and a small loss would likely be noticed. Also, given the tight tolerance band, recharging the system really isn't a DIY activity. I've done a lot of air conditioning work on a lot of cars but I won't touch the e90.
There are leak sealers that are designed to seal small leaks in both hoses as well as metal components of the air conditioning system. These are not the additives that can be found in some forms of R-134 but rather stand alone 4 ounce cans of product that use a small amount of r-134 as a charge. They are injected into the system in the same manner as refrigerant. I must note that the Bavarian Gods would probably take a dim view of using said products in one of their master werks and also some shops will refuse to recharge systems with leak sealers citing risk to the shop's refrigerant recovery machines. Use at your own risk.
It's also worth noting that there's yet another refrigerant on the horizon: R-1234yf which will replace R-134. R-1234yf was developed to meet EU mandates for a lower global warming potential refrigerant than R-134 (while R-134 is chlorine free and therefore not an ozone depleting substance, it still has a global-warming potential that is 1300 times that of carbon dioxide). Expect to see R-1234yf very soon (GM has allegedly begun the transition).
More info for those as sadistic as me: http://www2.dupont.com/Refrigerants/...oit_042010.pdf
Now that is really good info NewBMWownr. You are spot on with those specs. A full evacuate and re-charge of refrigerant took exactly 1.3lbs. It's right on the repair invoice. Good stuff. Are u a tech? I am really tempted to print out your response and bring it down to the dealership and give it to my SA when I go back in a few weeks. An evaporator question for those in the know regarding the location: Is it behind the dash on an E92 coupe? I have the Bentley service manual for the car and there is an exploded diagram of the whole system under the caption- A/C components in the engine compartment.
Evaporator is shown. :dunno: Maybe I can scan that and post it up.
In your case, it's possible that you're experiencing a normal amount of leakage. No system is 100% leak free. Given the relatively small amount of refrigerant to begin with, a very small leak over a long enough time will cause performance issues. I'd ask the dealer what their experience rate (how many, at what age of car, etc.) is for e9x's coming in for A/C recharges and then send an email to Mike Miller at Roundel and see if he has a thought on the matter. Fortunately or unfortunately, time will tell if you have a substantial leak.
EDIT: 7 weeks of holding a charge is indicative of a big (relatively) leak. I'd be hammering them to do a proper diagnosis. That level of leak should easily be detected with the right equipment and a properly trained technician.
My background is aircraft maintenance but I'm one of those people who likes to DIY. One thing about aircraft maintenance is that they pound us techs to follow the procedure, so I tend to be fairly structured about doing it the right way, hence all the detail. I am EPA 608 (home AC) and 609 (Automotive) certified, pretty much because I'm obsessed with having a cool house and cool cars.
I'll have to check that Bentley illustration again. Unfortunately I don't think I have the normal amount of leakage. Earlier in the thread I had mentioned that I had to have the system re-charged 7 weeks after its initial charge, due to warm air blowing from the vents. I'd say that is a nice leak. Looks like the evaporator is the likely suspect which would explain why the dealership needs the car for a few days to rip it apart. We'll see..
Here's to the thought that BMW did see a spike in issues with Valeo evaporators and made a change for the better.
06 330xi 128k miles, no refill or any work done on AC. I usually have it on the 2 bar setting at 69 degrees.
I do not know if they're actually interchangeable, and weve never actually replaced a denso unit.
It's standard procedure to install what came out.

|If the HEI dist will not fit use HEI parts in the point dist.This system works well and gives no trouble.ROY
|...stick with the HEI and use the hammer...
I am using the 3/4" forward mounts and only have about 1/2" of clearance at the back of the cap. I do not think my distributor will come in and out with the cap in place. I am planing on using a long water pump and a recored 6cyl radiator in the 6cyl position. I am not using headers. I am using late model truck ramshorn manifolds. You might want to check with Mike McCulleys Classic Chevrolet 559-226-8196.
good luck
|Larry Day
|I am in the finishing stages of doing a frame off on my 57 Nomad. I put in a ZZ4 crate motor which came with HEI and long water pump. I bought Danchuk side mounts that keep the engine in the stock location. I am using a Bow Tie built 700R4. My HEI fits with about half an inch clearance. I can remove the HEI with out having to remove the cap. I have a Griffith aluminum radiator in the V8 position using a short water pump. I am using a Flexolite 7 blade fan about 3/4 inch from the radiator. I am having trouble finding headers that will work with angle plugs and clearing the 605 power steering
|Woohoo! A fellow Wisconsinite! I agree with gearhead that you should check into Pertronix's kits. As long as the points type fits without any body modifications, these kits might be an excellent solution for you.
A cheaper way to get HEI without resorting to a completely aftermarket (expensive) distributor would be to go with an electronic conversion from Pertronix. Guys with these in the Chevy 6's really like them and have not had any problems that I ever heard of. I believe its around $75 for a SBC. Uses a stock point type dist.
Making minor "adjustments" to the body should not be anything to loose sleep over, just make sure that you do it in an asthetically pleasing way, or you will ruin the resale value later on.
As for Danchunk, I restored a '66 Malibu a few years ago, and thier catalog had the most expensive prices out of about 10 catalogs I had. If you haven't allready, get a copy of Hemmings Motor News and order every catalog for your car that you can find and do some comparrison shopping.
|You don't necessarily have to go back to a points distributor, you can use a Mallory Unilite, it's electronic and very compact. The coil is remote from the distributor just like point types.
|Mike, I know this suggestion could cost you some money....but are there other HEI's out there that may offer you additional clearance....for example I've been looking at my MSD catalog and they seem to have a large variety of configurations. Also, what HEI did Danchuck have in mind when they sold you the motor mount kit. If this doesn't turn out to be an option and I was doing it I would opt for the tranny shim and trim the toeboard as necessary as long as the drivetrain geometry isn't altered significantly. One other thought...when converting an S-10 to a small block, I recall that Advance Adapters recommends a large ball peen hammer to obtain distributor clearance by hammering the firewall in a little. Sounds like a felony if this was done on a 57 though...but it may be an option. Again, If I was doing it, I would probably use the ball peen hammer underneath on the toe boards, less visible there. Let us know how it turns out...Scott
*^&%# HEI in a 57 Chevy
I purchased from Danchuk the 871A side motor mount kit which moves the motor forward 3/4" so an HEI will fit. Well it fits, and it does not. When I put the cap on it clears the fire wall but the plug wire boots rub on the back side. With the frame siting level on the floor the motor is tiped back about 4 1/2 degrees. I would put a shim under the trans tail but then I think the bell housing of my 700 r4 will hit the lip were the toe board and firewall meet.
Should I shim the trans up about 1/8-1/4" and if nesisary trim that lip or fold it down? Or should I forget the hole thing and go back to a... dare I say it... Points tybe distributer and a high voltage coil.

The analytics community is experiencing a rebirth. A renewal. A renaissance. Why? Data is bursting from every corner, from every device, allowing brands to deliver relevant messages and offers to its customers. So, being an analytics connoisseur is important now more than ever. I mean, who else is going to play with all this data . . . and actually enjoy it?
Organizations must develop relevant marketing strategies across devices -- to different customers -- and have the advanced measurement and analytic frameworks to fuel decisions. And the perpetually connected customer is forcing organizations to act quickly, so near-real-time insights are paramount. My past research addresses this, specifically, how analytics professionals can use attribution as a way to understand the true value of each interaction point. This is even more complex because of the increase in cross-device usage. As a result,analytic pros are using savvy ways to connect information and to measure cross-device impact and incremental value.

I own both the glock 26 and the ruger LC9. They are about the same dimensions but the lc9 is thinner (being a single stack). The glock 26 being stricker fired is much easier to shoot accurately. The LC9's long trigger pull gives acceptable accuracy for conceal carry, but it's not a target pistol. I can shoot both of them accurately, but I am quicker with my shots when shooting the glock. They are both well built guns, but I think the glock is a stronger built gun (IMO). The LC9 really is easier to conceal than the glock, being lighter and thinner makes a noticable difference. The LC9 has a manual thumb safety and the glock does not. The glock seems to hide recoil and will comfortably shoot strong +P ammo accurately. The LC9 doesn't hide the recoil as well but seems to be a snappy little gun. The long trigger pull and the snap of the recoil make accurate follow up shots take just a little longer.
The LC9 ballistics with standard 124 grain Remington golden sabers is surprisingly impressive, so I choose to shoot standard rounds to reduce recoil. With the glock 26 I prefer 124 grain gold dot +P rounds, and they are fun to shoot through the glock. Those are my opinions, observations and experiences. Hope it helps!

Sundance Film Festival fans have just learned they are among the "misguided 'progressive' (liberals) who are anxious to pervert normal human impulses for the sake of 'finding your sexual identity.' "
That's because, according to the conservative Salt Lake City-based Sutherland Institute which is demanding that Utah spurn the festival Sundance is a purveyor of obscenity and pornography.
The state, writes the institute's Derek Monson, considers Sundance to be "economic activity."
It's certainly that. The film festival is the nation's largest and most famous. It brings in moviemakers and movie lovers from everywhere. It makes a lot of money, and so does Utah's hospitality industry.
And, yes, it screens every imaginable kind of film from features to documentaries to short films to animation. That's what such festivals are all about: bringing new, bold movies to eager, intelligent filmgoers who fully understand what they're about to see.
Sutherland's Monson, though, says that "given the amount of sexual promiscuity that Sundance Film Festival regularly brings to Utah, it seems similarly indecent that Utah's major economic development agencies basically endorsed the event."
Of course they did. Economic development agencies work to recruit pretty much any legal entity that will bring jobs and money to Utahns. They are not and should not be gatekeepers who shoo away anything that might hurt the sensibilities of adults who object to one thing or another.
This isn't the first time Sutherland has jumped into the business of telling Utahns what they should do. A couple of years ago, a writer made essentially the same argument, including taking umbrage at a film he said features "the [romantic] adventures of lesbian space aliens on the planet Earth."
I never saw that one.
Now, as a cold- and crowd-averse person, I prefer to see Sundance films after the festival.
Just last fall, I saw "Beasts of the Southern Wild," a fantastical film about a little girl named Hushpuppy, her sometimes violent dad and a bunch of drunken outliers living in a Louisiana bayou outpost called the Bathtub. It also has aurochs. I loved it.
It's gained a place among the 2013 Academy Awards candidates for best picture, best actress for Quvenzhané Wallis (Hushpuppy), best director and best adapted screenplay. Many Sundance films have earned similar honors proof of the value of art that takes us far from our comfortable way of seeing the world.
Several years ago, the Sutherland Institute issued its resolution on the natural family, which hailed the sanctity of marriage between a man and woman who produce a full quiver of children. It also envisioned young women growing into wives, homemakers and mothers, and men as husbands, home builders and fathers.
Only Kanab, adopted it, and lots of people boycotted the southern Utah tourist town in protest.
Anyone in Utah who worries about the content of Sundance films can protect themselves very simply: Don't see them.
In the meantime, please don't worry about those of us who do.

After bludgeoning Romney, Dems oddly silent on Jack Lew's Cayman Islands investments
posted at 4:55 pm on February 11, 2013 by Guy Benson
There are myriad reasons for conservatives to oppose Jack Lew's nomination for Treasury Secretary. The fact that Lew recently held a substantial, and entirely legal, investment based in the Cayman Islands is not one of them. But shouldn't liberals be livid? Last year, the Obama campaign and its surrogates furiously accused Mitt Romney of "betting against America" through his financial portfolio, which included foreign holdings — including some in the Cayman Islands. This ad painting the Republican nominee as an unpatriotic hypocrite was memorably unsparing in its demagoguery:
So if Romney represented "the problem," how might Lew factor into Democrats' calculus?
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign famously trolled Mitt Romney for having bank accounts in the Cayman Islands throughout 2012, with campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt calling it proof that the Republican "bets against America." It's a line that was echoed during the election by Governor Martin O'Malley, the Democratic National Committee, and several web ads on Obama's own YouTube channel, which featured at least 20 videos mentioning Romney's Cayman accounts. A search for Cayman Islands on the Obama campaign's website brings back more than 1200 results. But now that one of Obama's own cabinet nominees is defending his own Cayman account, Democrats are suddenly silent on the matter.
It's a pretty safe bet that the DNC won't be distributing mock Cayman passports to reporters in an attempt to torpedo the president's greedy, patriotism-challenged nominee (according to their own very recent standards). WaPo's Marc Thiessen dives deeper into the breathtaking double standard:
Just last week, during a "60 Minutes" interview before the Super Bowl, Obama declared, "When you look at some of these deductions that certain folks are able to take advantage of, the average person can't take advantage of them. The average person doesn't have access to Cayman Island accounts." It's a recurring theme for the president. In a 2009 speech, Obama focused his ire on "a building in the Cayman Islands that had over 12,000 businesses claim this building as their headquarters" — a building called Ugland House. Obama said, "And I've said before, either this is the largest building in the world or the largest tax scam. And I think the American people know which it is: The kind of tax scam that we need to end." Well, guess who was involved in the "largest tax scam" in the world? Jack Lew. According to the New York Times, Lew's Cayman Islands fund was based in "the notorious Ugland House, a building whose mailboxes are home to nearly 19,000 corporate entities, many of them tax shelters."
But Lew's situation is totally different, you see, because he's a Democrat. It's worth noting that the ad above also slammed Romney for supposedly outsourcing American jobs while at the helm of Bain Capital. There is zero evidence to back up this false claim, which Team Obama leveled repeatedly. Every independent fact-checker debunked this ad and others like it, verdicts that did nothing to dissuade the Obama campaign from running the spots from coast to coast. Democrats then doubled down, suggesting that Romney might be a felon … a sleazy, backdoor attempt to justify their original lies. This escalation prompted another fruitless round of rebukes from fact-checkers. Chief Obama mudslinger Stephanie Cutter breezily still affirms that she harbors no regrets over her starring role in promulgating these disproven smears. And why would she? She's a shameless means-to-an-end hack, and her side won.

Salt Lake City is one of three finalists to host a World Cup qualifying match between the U.S. Men's National Team and Costa Rica in March, according to Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl.
Denver and Kansas City round out the list of finalists, the veteran soccer writer reported on Twitter yesterday, adding that a decision will be made sometime this week.
"We are always happy to be considered by U.S. Soccer," Real Salt Lake's vice president of communications Trey Fitz-Gerald said. "Our track record hosting both the men's and women's teams is excellent, and that is a tribute to the rapidly growing and developing soccer culture we have here in Utah."
In March 2005, more than 40,000 people watched the U.S. team beat Costa Rica 3-0 at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The smaller Rio Tinto Stadium was at capacity for a friendly against El Salvador in 2009.

text: I just recently got my G930s in the mail and they've been constantly disconnected every couple of minutes which is incredibly annoying and frustrating. I've read that it has something to do with other USB ports and landline phones intervening with the connection or something along those lines. Anyways, I'm looking for a good, wired headset that's the best bang for my buck. My highest priority is getting good microphone quality as I'm planning on this headset being what I use for live streaming and recording videos so having my voice come through as clear as possible would be ideal. I need this headset to be listed on either Ebay or Newegg, or basically anything that isn't Amazon considering I'm paying through Paypal.

'Ruff realizes where this team has been this year, but that doesn't cloud his vision forward. "We've put ourselves in a situation where you're going to lose some games that you probably deserve to win, but if you go back to Jersey where the four guys went back into the lineup and we went 5-0-1 then we lost a game I thought we could've been right there to win and you go on a little bit of a down turn. You come into Philly and play a great first period, then you play a terrible second and third, but I think we've been able to bounce back and right the ship again. So if you look at it, with strong goaltending and I think our power play needs to finish."'

Since the start of TSA Pre✓™ in October of last year, more than 540,000 passengers have taken part in the expedited screening program. The TSA Pre✓™ program boosts aviation security by helping us to focus on passengers the agency knows less about and those who are considered high-risk, while providing expedited screening for travelers who volunteer information about themselves prior to flying. Basically, it allows us to shift away from a one-size-fits all approach and lead us in the direction of intelligence driven, risk-based, security measures.

We have earlier discussed quite a good number of ways to download YouTube videos on your computer. Some of these methods are too easy, while some of them require you to install a browser extension or a plugin.
But there can be situations when you are surfing YouTube from another person's computer and want to download a couple of videos right that instant. You don't have a USB drive with you, nor you have the time to wait for the downloads to finish. So how do you download YouTube videos remotely to your computer's hard drive from any computer, without having to install anything on the host computer itself ?
VideoDropper is the answer.
If you have a Dropbox account, you can download YouTube videos remotely from any computer or a mobile device, to your computer's hard drive. There is no need to install any browser extension and neither you have to carry a removable media. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Go to the Videodropper website, hit the "Login with Dropbox" link and sign in with your Dropbox account.
2. On the next page, click "Allow" to grant the app all the necessary permissions to upload the video file to your Dropbox folder. Now you will be taken to the video download page where all you have to do is paste in the URL of the YouTube video which you want to download.
3. You are done.
Videodropper will add your request to their "download queue" and the file will appear in your Dropbox account within an hour or two. The video will be saved in the root folder of your Dropbox account as an FLV file. You can continue using the Videodropper website and request more than one downloads, there aren't any limits as such.
At the end of the day, run the Dropbox client on your computer and it will download all the videos to your computer's "My Dropbox" folder. This technique is particularly useful when you are browsing YouTube from your Android or your iOS device. Just paste in the URL of the YouTube video at the VideoDropper website and the file will eventually arrive on your computer's hard drive. If you have the Dropbox app installed on your smartphone, you can use it to sync the FLV file on your mobile, without having to manually transfer the file using a USB cable.
This is by far, one of the easiest and hassle free way to download YouTube videos from any computer, without having to install anything or wait for the downloads to finish. Everything is taken care in the "cloud", while you can go play outside.
