She finds great satisfaction in her relationships with family, friends, colleagues and students, and considers it essential to enjoy life and maintain a sense of humor. She is inspired by Paulo Freire¹s work and finds hope in his assertion that it is important to participate in the creation of a world where it is easier to love.

With one pitch one strongest parts of the Twins team, the bullpen, has the possibility of becoming weak in a hurry. As soon as Joe Nathan let go of the pitch everyone in the stadium knew that something was wrong. He didn't finish the pitch and he came off of the mound in an awkward fashion. All of Twins Territory will hold their breath for the day as they wait to hear the results of the tests that Nathan will undergo back in Minnesota.
Following a rough postseason in 2009, Nathan was forced to go under the knife to remove bone spurs and other particles from his elbow. The initial diagnoses from doctors is that the soreness in his elbow has been caused by the breaking of scar tissue from the above mentioned surgery. Hopefully this is the case and Nathan will be at full strength for Opening Day in four weeks.
If this is a more serious injury and Nathan has to miss extensive time, there are a variety of options that manager Ron Gardenhire will have to look at. The following is a quick run-down of those that would be next in line to be the Twins closer:
1. Jon Rauch- He has the most career saves on the Twins besides Nathan. He is also the only other pitcher that has been named a teams closer (even if it was only the Nationals).
2. Matt Guerrier- Has been a very good set-up man for the Twins over the past few seasons. He has a variety of pitches that would make the transition easier for him over some of the other pitchers.
3. Pat Neshek- Before his elbow injury a few seasons ago, Neshek would have been the handsdown choice to fill in for Nathan. He still has a chance but it depends a lot on how he performs in the rest of Spring Training.
4. Jesse Crain- After the up and down season that Crain had last year it would be hard to imagine him getting the role of closer to start the 2010 season. He has shown flashes of brilliance in the past so it would be possible for him to fit the part of closer for a short period of time.
5. Jose Mijares- Probably the best left-handed option the Twins have out of the bullpen. If Nathan is seriously injured look for him to fill-in in the closer's role when a left-handed section of the line-up is due in the 9th.

Wouldn't you know ?? Right after I draft my best Baseball team ever?
I heard this yesterday and read some of Joe's comments, The test had not been completed yet but he sounded optimistic ?
For the Twins I hope all is well , but they do have a lot of depth in the bullpen.
Rest Rest Rest is probably the answer and maybe the Twins need a better surgeon ??

Once Mauer signs his new contract he can be the closer and the catcher. He can throw the ball and be fast enough to catch it.

I tried really hard to do a nice book for children. I really did. But I started reading those old nursery rhymes and got a bit carried away. But looking at it now, they aren't really that bad, and when I look at the "nice" mother goose books I think they might actually be more disturbing that the collection I've made here.
Decide for yourself.

The Canisius College women's soccer team used three consecutive goals to erase an early two-goal deficit, but couldn't hold onto the lead as Charleston Southern (2-1-0) scored the game's final two goals to win 5-3. The loss drops the Griffs record to 1-3-0 on the year.
After the Buccaneers jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 14th minute, freshman midfielder Sabrina Fitzgerald scored her first career goal three minutes later to pull the Griffs within one. The goal came off a corner kick, when Fitzgerald headed the pass from junior forward Mallory Illsley into the back of the net.
Just 10 minutes later, senior forward Brianna Smith netted her first of two goals in the contest to tie the game at two. Smith took the ball from 20 yards out and curled it past the keeper into the upper left corner.
The goal vaulted Smith into sole-possession of fourth on the all-time goal scoring list at Canisius.
Smith then added to her total scoring her 32nd career goal which gave the Griffs their only lead on the afternoon in the 46th minute. It came by heading a cross from senior midfielder Katie Griffin from 12 yards out.
Canisius held the lead for just 36 seconds, when Chelsea Phillips scored the first of her two goals. Phillips scored again in the 51st minute by sliding the ball past junior goalkeeper Brigid St. Leger to give Charleston Southern the lead for good.
The Griffs will remain in Charleston, S.C. for another game when they take on The Citadel Sunday, Sept. 1. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.
Game Notes: In addition to moving into fourth on the goal scoring list, Smith now holds fifth place on the all-time points list with 70... This was the third matchup between the Griffs and Charleston Southern, with the Buccaneers owning the all-time series 3-0-0.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|The easiest way to tell is to wet down some pavement and do a drag strip type start, if only one wheel spins then the unit needs work. If both 12 bolts are truck and the axle spline count is the same the carriers should interchange, not a direct bolt in as the pinion depth, tooth pattern, backlash and bearing preload must be set per each individual rear housing. If the 5 lug is a car the unit won't work without major mods.
|Ed ke6bnl
What posi in my 12 bolt.
I can use some advice on the 12 bolt 6lug posi 3.73 I have. I opened it up and what I see are like three spider gears in a U shape. I saw in the book some type of posi that had a flat sring like device in the center and a clutch disks. I would like to know how to tell if the positraction is in working order. I did hold both axles and could not turn the pinion. Both axles turn the same direction when I rotate the pinion. How do I know if this is in need of a rebuild?? My boy needs this for his 12 bolt 5 lug that is making some serious noises. Can we put the whole carrier and pinion in his with the posi and put back his 5 lug axels?? Sorry about all the question I am not up on this stuff. We did pull the axles to see how it all worked from what we have read. Thanks Ed ke6bnl

text: the latest cold snaps ruined my queen nursery last week. today i was checking one of my hives and thanks to the rain/cold snap they were full of bees and brood but all the nectar they had a week ago was gone. went ahead and went through my other hives and found another one in the same condition and one that will be there in a couple of days if they don't start bringing a good bit of nectar in tomorrow. i fed the two and will check the third saturday. 2 weeks ago every hive was storing nectar and there was even a little newly capped honey. hopefully this round was the last one. rain is still moving though every few days but that's probably actually a good thing.

On black. I tried several other colors for this (not white, though) but black really did work the best.
I hope people enjoy it.
I grew up in Colorado, right near Denver. I saw this and immediately knew it was the Rockies. Good job! I love it.

I have been using this crème now for about 3-4 years and still find it my favorite of ALL others! And I have tried just about all of them. In West Texas, we have horribly dry skin and this crème works for all----very SMOOTH and stays workable for as long as you need it to. LASTS A LONG TIME even with seriously dry skin. Love it.
I love Bon Vital products! I was first introduced to them in 2000 while working at an elite spa in the Keys. The chemist who formulated the products visited our spa a few times and generously gave me several of his products; I was sold! Perfect glide, no greasy feel, and I have never had any skin irritation as I have experienced with Biotone creams.
Love this cream. Great for any type of bodywork and goes a long way.
I Love this cream because it is thick. I have been a therapist for 21 years and was looking to change to a Paraben-free product. Had such a hard time finding a replacement. This was exactly what I was looking for! Great natral scent, heavy enough to work off of my arm (it stays right there). I can do deep massage without slipping, and it doesn't leave my client greasy. It also washes right out. LOVE IT!!!!!
I had never tried any products from Bon Vital and really wasn't sure what to expect. I bought the smallest size I could to try it out because I was looking for a new, basic creme to use as needed in my practice. It is very thick, but once you start working with it, it's actually really workable. It stays on the skin enough to not have to reapply, but doesn't leave clients feeling greasy. Whether I'm doing a more relaxing massage or deeper work, I have found it really works well.

for me it would not be zombies as much as i love them.
any ways.
I would live in a world where the fall of mankind happened. Would not be from a a war that had nukes used. the world would be no sun light what so ever. Very little plant life. Barely any electricity. The world would be cold. But not freezing cold. Instead cold like death. The world would be a dark place with strange creatures lurking in the shadows. Gas mask would not be required but to be able to protect your self from elements of what ever there is. Bodies would be around. But since there is not heat and no flys and bugs to eat on there flesh. They barely rot. The world would be bleek and dark and no life about it what so ever. Barely any humans left. only one percent of the world population remains and are scattered far and few. The food is aslo very little. People resort to eating rats and what ever they can find. But dont forget food is sparse. So cannibalism is the normal to survive this harsh world. The water is ridden to to the disease of human bodies. Only very little water that is clean is left. Buildings made of human flesh and bones. Would be one of the sights. No clean clothing. The clothing would be something out of a horror movie. Since there is little animals left. People would be making clothing out of the skin of dead people. Turning it into leather. And what little clothing there was. There would be many killings. The sounds of this world would be dark. So dark infact you could feel it. You would here screams of people. Since for some reason. Sound would echo many miles in this world. The creatures would not be from hell. But would seem like it. No one would no where they came from. They would be very evil and hunt people down. There bodys features would be many. They would be death them selfs. There skin twisted and ridden with filth. There eyes as black as the darkest dark in the world. But the other side of the coin. There would not be many of them as well. You walk miles and miles and probly not see another soul around you. But the stench of decay and death will be all around you. The sights would be darkness but yet you can see. The world be grey. No life what so ever. Governments long gone. Mankind long gone. Society falling. There would be no friend ship. No love. No care. No emotions in this world. It would be a forgotten world. The many seas would be gone. No rain. No sunlight. No heat. Nothing. Could go on with this. But this is enough for now
your turn guys

A double-blind study found that individuals taking 2 grams of vitamin C three times per day did not tend to develop nitroglycerin tolerance over time compared to those taking placebo.1 In another controlled clinical trial, similar protection was achieved with 500 mg three times daily.2
People using long-acting nitroglycerin can avoid tolerance with a ten- to twelve-hour hour nitroglycerin-free period every day. People taking long-acting nitroglycerin should ask their prescribing doctor or pharmacist about preventing nitroglycerin tolerance.
Reduces Effectiveness
Potential Negative Interaction
Explanation Required
N-Acetyl Cysteine
Continuous nitroglycerin use leads to development of nitroglycerin tolerance and loss of effectiveness. Intravenous (iv) N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), during short-term studies of people receiving continuous nitroglycerin, was reported to reverse nitroglycerin tolerance.3 , 4 In a double-blind study of patients with unstable angina, transdermal nitroglycerin plus oral NAC (600 mg three times per day) was associated with fewer failures of medical treatment than placebo, NAC, or nitroglycerin alone. However, when combined with nitroglycerin use, NAC has led to intolerable headaches.5 , 6 In two double-blind, randomized trials of angina patients treated with transdermal nitroglycerin, oral NAC 200 mg or 400 mg three times per day failed to prevent nitroglycerin tolerance.7 , 8The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.

IBM Impact 2012 was just last week with a theme of "Change the Game" ... and I'm still reveling in all of the excitement and energy that goes into conferences such as this. I was fortunate to get a last minute spot to attend the conference and help out at the Solution Center where I had the chance to speak to a lot of customers and other IBMers interested in cloud computing. Among the many things that stood out - there is certainly a lot of interest in cloud computing and patterns of expertise - it also seems that folks are ready to get some first hand experience with these patterns. There's plenty of opportunity for that!

Lorain County animal control officer shoots kittens
(North Ridgeville) - Animal cruelty groups are calling for the firing of North Ridgeville Animal Control Officer Barry Accorti
Accorti is accused of shooting and killing five kittens Monday afternoon in front of a homeowner and at least one of her children.
Accorti is a retired sergeant with the North Ridgeville Police Department and has worked as a part-time Humane Officer with the department.
According to the homeowner, Accorti responded to a home where a feral mother cat and her kittens were living in a woodpile. The homeowner was concerned the kittens could spread fleas and other diseases.
The homeowner says Accorti told her the shelters were full, before taking out his gun and shooting the five young kittens.
The North Ridgeville Police Department released the following statement:
"On 6-10-2013, a resident on Vista Lake Way contacted NRPD on Facebook regarding a "family of cats" that had made a home in their wood pile. The resident went on to ask if the humane officer would pick them up or would they have to deal with the issue themselves."
"Within twenty minutes NRPD responded back to the resident on Facebook stating that Humane Officer (HO) Accorti would be there shortly. Upon arrival HO Accorti (who has thirty plus years of law enforcement experience) was shown the wood pile where the feral cats were located. The wood piles were located next to a concrete patio approximately ten feet from the residence. The homeowner advised that the feral cats were causing flea problems within the residence, a foul odor, and leaving deceased wildlife in her yard."
"The homeowner was advised that, due to her safety concerns (proximity of wood pile to house, number of children at the residence, diseases feral cats can develop, fleas, unsanitary conditions), assistance could be rendered but the cats would be euthanized. The complainant agreed to accept assistance and the officer started to dismantle the wood pile."
"The cats were located within the wood pile and euthanized. The cats were removed from the wood pile and taken from the residence. The complainant's husband advised that the mother feral cat had been roaming around for several years and he had tried to remove the feral kittens himself but they would hiss and growl at him."
"He also advised that that he had seen numerous other feral cats roaming the neighborhood. Upon conducting a follow-up interview with the complainant she stated she was aware that the feral cats were going to be euthanized but did not expect it to occur on her property. The complainant explained she felt overwhelmed due to the fact that her children were inside the residence and heard the gunshots."
"The complainant urged better communication in the future. NRPD recognizes the concerns of those who believe feral cats should not be killed for simply trying to survive but also acknowledges other research that recognizes the risks associated with these animals and the need to manage feral cats. Research and other animal organizations accept shooting as an acceptable means of euthanasia."
"After visiting the scene, talking with the responding officer and re-interviewing the complainant, I have decided his actions were appropriate and have decided not to impose any disciplinary measures for the incident. We will talk with the humane officers about improving their communications with the public. We are here to help those who seek our assistance. Our agency prides itself on not telling people, "It's not our problem or there is nothing we can do for you." This would be the easy way out. To walk away and leave a safety issue unresolved is irresponsible. At no time does this agency condone or allow the indiscriminate killing of animals, but we will continue to assist residents when there is a safety or nuisance condition."

Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
As promised...here we go!
For reference, here's what I had before:
- Creative Steel 87A motor mounts
- Creative Steel 87A differential bushing
- Revshift 80A transmission insert
- TurninConcepts (TiC) 95A trailing arm bushings
- Killernoodle trailing arms
- Hotchkis 2280 front (1.125" hollow core, 70% stiffer than stock, 9.0 lbs) and rear (1" hollow core, 90% stiffer than stock, 7.4 lbs) sway bars
- FG2s with Ground Control kit, MightyMouse spacers, and 600/650 in-lb linear Eibach springs
Here's what I installed:
- Revshift 95A subframe bushings
- Revshift 95A control arm bushings
- BMR TR001R 1" diameter toe rods
- Addco 2290 front (1.375" solid core, ~110% stiffer than stock, 28.5 lbs) and 2289 rear (1" solid core, ~125% stiffer than stock, 14.4 lbs) sway bars
- Energy Suspension sway bar brackets and bushings with Zerk fittings
- POR15 coating on the subframe
- 3M 03584 Professional Grade Rubberized Undercoating in the rear wheel wells and underneath spare tire tub (1 can each)
Tools that I found essential:
- Normal and dead blow hammers
- 3/8" and 1/2" drive socket wrenches and gear wrenches up to 24mm
- Harbor Freight 450 lb transmission jack
- A ton of caliper cleaner (to clean up the gooey mess) and wheel cleaner (e.g. Eagle One A2Z)
- A 2-3' long 3/8" socket wrench extension that I could destroy
- 1-1/16" or 25-26mm socket (same size as control arm bushing sleeves)
- A cheap bench vise for crushing subframe bushings and installing new ones
- A small Vise Grip (helps with the front control arm bolt)
- Huge washers, a long bolt, and matching nut (used to pull together bushing halves and steel/aluminum cores)
- Milwaukee corded or M18 cordless drill and Sawzall
- A 3/16" drill bit (for starting holes in the control arm bushing rubber)
- A Milwaukee 49-22-1129 demolition sawzall blade set--particularly the 9" "The Torch" 18 TPI metal blades for slicing the subframe bushing outer sleeves, and the short and long "The Axe" demolition blades with fang tips for cutting through the control arm and subframe bushing rubber, respectively.
- Blue Loctite
- Your choice of brake bleeding equipment and brake fluid
- If you want to clean the cast aluminum control arms, I suggest Prosoco Sure Klean 600 (mild hydrochloric acid) in an empty spray bottle diluted with water to at least 1:3, disposable nitrile gloves (Home Depot has them), and a couple of green 3M Scotch-Brite scouring pads.
Brief Installation Summary:
- Remove the wheels, brake calipers, rotors, and exhaust. This is a good time to check the tightness of your parking brake. Unclip the ABS sensors from the hubs. Unbolt the shocks. Remove the two passenger side brake lines leading toward the engine. Brake fluid is going to leak everywhere unless you control it. Disconnect the driveshaft.
- Support the subframe with the transmission jack squarely underneath the differential mount. Remove the two 21mm (front) and two 24mm (rear) subframe bushing bolts. At this point, the subframe and differential are being supported only by the jack.
Reference picture that I used for planning.
- Lower the subframe to the ground, watching to make sure that you didn't accidentally forget to detach something (those ABS connectors are delicate). Note that the parking brake line is still attached--if you're on jack stands, you will have just enough slack in the line to roll the subframe out from under the driver's side rear wheel well.
Marvel at how disgusting that whole area gets after a couple of years of not cleaning it.
Smaller front bushing (harder of the two to remove).
Larger rear bushing.
I first tried (unsuccessfully) to burn these bushings out, which is what Revshift originally did, but with an Acetylene torch. Unfortunately, MAPP torches don't get hot enough to melt rubber--they just char it and smoke and make the whole area smell bad. Avoid.
The first half of the bushing removal process is pretty easy (10 minutes each):
1. Ignore the metal core of the bushing.
2. Using a long demolition Sawzall blade, stick your Sawzall in one the big air gaps in the rubber bushings, and begin cutting in a hexagonal or octagonal pattern around the metal core. Use straight lines. Don't try to bend the bigger blades around in a circle. You're wasting your time and running down your batteries.
3. Periodically spray wheel cleaner (or some kind of non-flammable degreaser) into the bushing to cool down the rubber and help prevent it from re-forming after the blade passes by. You can get by without this, but it'll take a little longer.
4. When you think you're through, jam a big screwdriver into the bushing and move it around to see if the core is ready to come out. When it looks really loose, hit it with the hammer and it should fall on the ground in one or two shots. Or yank it out with pliers.
Screwdriver test failed. I missed several spots.
Screwdriver test passed.
This is where things get irritating. The challenge is to cut the metal sleeve of the bushing completely through but avoid damaging the "cup" in the subframe that holds the bushing in place. If you're like me, most of the time you're going to err on the side of caution and not cut enough. Here's what I'd recommend:
1. Using a long, fine-toothed metal sawzall blade, cut off the flanged part of on the bottom of each of the bushing sleeves. Alternately, after you make your vertical cuts, look underneath the bushing and carefully cut a notch out the flange to meet your vertical cut.
Ready to make a notch that meets my vertical cut
2. Make a vertical cut in 2-3 places around the bushing. It's hard to tell how deep you've gone, since there's all kinds of gooey rubberized bits obscuring your view.
Yummy molten rubber.
3. Don't try to pry out a section with a screwdriver--you'll just break it. Grab your bench vise, flip it upside down, and use it to crush the ever-loving s**t out of a portion of the bushing.
Crushing the weakened bushing.
4. With your normal hammer (ear protection is a must), beat the living crap out of the bushing until it falls out of the bottom of the cup. Go big or go home. Love taps are less than useless. If you've hit the living s**t out of the thing 8-10 times and it hasn't moved, you didn't cut all the way through the sleeve, or you forgot about the lip on the bottom of the sleeve.
5. Rinse and repeat until you're done. This may sound easy, but I can virtually guarantee you that this will take you most of one day.
Now we come to the fun part--the actual bushing installation!
1. Install the bottom half of the bushing first. Lube it up, line it up, and use the bench vise to squeeze the bushing into the cup. If you bought 80A bushings, you may be able to do this by hand instead.
2. Install the top half of the bushing. You won't be able to get it started with a dead-blow hammer. Instead, insert your long bolt through both halves of the Revshift bushing with a washer on either end. Thread the nut on, and with a pair of wrenches, screw the nut down until the halves are pressed tight together.
3. Repeat for the metal core. Insert from the top. If you don't have enough length on your bolt, you can use your dead-blow hammer to get the core started. Eventually, friction will make it impossible to use the hammer and you'll have to finish up with the bolt/washers/nut trick. As it turns out, my Home Depot didn't sell a long enough bolt for my needs. So I wound up using one of the subframe bolts and a nut from the control arms instead. Thankfully, my washers were large enough to pass that big bolt through.
Core is almost fully inserted (note silver piece sticking out of the top end of the bushing).
Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
Onto the control arm bushings!
Mine didn't look too bad.
Dirty as hell, though.
As with the subframe bushings, you're going to ignore the metal core. Grab a 3/16" drill bit, and put a couple of holes in the rubber to permit you to insert a smaller demolition sawzall blade.
Pick that one.
The nice thing about this drilling and cutting procedure is that, again, there's an unwanted metal sleeve on both sides of the rubber. So don't worry about hitting the walls--go to town on the rubber until the metal core is ready to fall out.
Ready to rock with the smaller blade.
Now we have a problem. The outer metal sleeve is thickly flanged on one side, and very thin on the other side. Cutting the bushing out (like we did with the subframe bushings) is not going to work because of the delicacy of the surrounding cast aluminum. Pressing it out using a pair of sockets won't work either. It's time to innovate. We're going to make a bushing extractor tool:
1. Grab your 3/8" extension and 1-1/16" socket.
2. Thread the extension through one side of the control arm and attach the adapter and the socket. Line up the socket with the bushing to be extracted.
If you do one bushing at a time, the existing OEM bushing makes for a nice guide.
3. Wedge the control arm against something, grab a hammer, and sharply strike the end of the 3/8" extension a few times to pop the bushing sleeve out.
I'm using a previously-extracted sleeve to protect the machined finish inside the control arm.
4. Rinse and repeat for all of the other bushings.
Sleeve coming out.
A 1-1/16" socket is almost exactly the same outer diameter as the bushing sleeve.
If you want to clean the control arms, now is the time. Put on those gloves, stand upwind, and spray down the control arms with your Prososco Sure Clean 600 mix. Scrub, then rinse.
We've arrived at the fun part. Using one of the techniques described previously, press each half of the control arm bushing into place, with the core going in last. Don't forget: the half with the shorter lip goes on the inside of the control arm.
Cleaned up nicely.
Ready to rock.
The pictures I have of the installed bushings aren't too good--mostly because they were taken at 3 AM and I was super tired. I will get the car cleaned up and take better pictures later.
Late night in Connecticut.
Subframe being reassembled.
Sliding back under the car. The 3M Rubberized coating has already dried in the wheel well.
Loving those BMR toe rods.
My impressions are as follows:
1. It feels like the rear end of the car is 100 times stronger.
2. There is no additional vibration or noise under any driving condition with 95A bushings. Under bump loads, I think they're quieter than the stock bushings.
3. Ride quality is improved. Bumps are handled faster, now that the subframe doesn't have a mind of its own.
4. Under high G-loads (1.1 G+), the rear end of the car stays flatter and no longer exhibits that unsettling "walking out" phenomenon. It's incredibly stable. These bushings actually made me realize that I had been relying on that slop to help me get around sharp corners faster. Now, I have to get on the gas, which is faster overall (before, I would be covering the brake just in case things got out of control). When I go back in for an alignment next week, I will be adjusting my rear toe settings from +0.30° to +0.10°. Nice!
Also, a note about the 3M Rubberized Undercoating: DO IT. I applied one can in each wheel well, and one can on the underside of my spare tire tub. With the rear seat taken out (I'm in the middle of soundproofing it), I felt that the amount of high-frequency road and exhaust noise was noticeably reduced. When my new front wheel liners arrive, I plan on treating the front wheel wells with the stuff to confirm these impressions.
Thanks guys! KW Variant 3, Addco sway bars, and the McLeod RXT are coming up next!

Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
Man that was a lotta work! Always take pride in work done yourself too! I wish I had the time and resources to do what some of you do out there. Someday I will and all of these posts will help. I would love to just swap out all the bushings on the car to try to firm it up. That spray rubber stuff sounds like a great idea! Also, if you want to get rid of those rims please let me have first dibs! Those are sweeeeeeeeeet!
P.s. If you need to get rid of any of the suspension parts as well, hook a brother up! HEHE
Fuzzy, working on mine now. I was able to use the mapp gas. I heated the inside of the inner sleeve until the rubber started to smoke. With two whacks of the hammer the inner sleeve slide right out. Since mine is an '04, I have the voids in the rubber. I cut the outer sleeve in this void so I did not have to remove any of the rubber. Once the slit was deep enough. I used an air chisel and it came right out. I was surprised how easy it was. This was, of course, after I spent an hour on the first one figuring this out.
Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
Awesome job! This is really helpful- my bushings are going in next week!
Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
How long did this take or expected to take? I am doing lower & upper control arm bushings, cradle bushings and diff bushing in the coming weeks. Thanks
I only did the cradle and diff bushing this time around. From start to finish only took 5 hours with stopping for lunch. I was messing with other items while under there as well. All in all very easy job if you have the proper tools.

Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
I've seen videos on you tube where guys spray lighter fluid on the bushings and basically keep a fire going till they melt out. Why wouldn't that work here?
It would work, but 1 it stinks and 2 its a waste of time. I am away from home but I will take some pictures of the removed bushings to hopefully make some sense of my directions. I tried the burning idea on the first one and decided a different route on the others. It took fifteen minutes to get the last three bushings out.

Re: Revshift Subframe & Control Arm Bushings Installed
Thanks for the info, JFensty. I also have an 04 and your method is what I'm planning to use.
This is one of a couple of summer projects I have in mind....
Its odd but the car rides smoother with the revshift bushings installed. I did, however, pick up some whine that I did not have previously. 95a cradle and 80a diff.

A look back at the luminaries we lost this season.Kevin Fallon08.29.12 4:45 AM ETThe summer of 2009—when we lost Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, John Hughes, Walter Cronkite, and nearly two dozen more celebrities and high-profile people—was, rightfully so, branded the Summer of Death. Bad things are supposed to happen in threes, after all, not dozens. The summer of 2012, though not quite as severe, rivals those tragic months from three years ago as an alarming number of pioneering pop-culture figures, trailblazers in entertainment, and industry titans passed away between June and September. Here's a look back at the lives of the luminaries we lost this summer. Charles Sykes / AP PhotoNora Ephron(May 19, 1941–June 26, 2012) It speaks to the impact Nora Ephron had on Hollywood—culture as a whole, really—that the likes of Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell, and Meg Ryan all attended and paid tribute at her memorial service. It speaks to Ephron's subversive and whimsical wit that the prolific writer planned the entire affair before her passing: who would speak, in what order, and for how long. Ephron, who died June 26 at age 71, reinvented the modern romantic comedy by crafting razor-sharp banter and smart, strong female leads who deserved their happy endings: When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, Julie & Julia. She was a trailblazer in two industries. She began her career as a journalist for publications including the New York Post, Esquire, and New York, and became one of the first truly successful female screenwriters and directors. Summed up Streep at Ephron's service: "She was a breathtaking original." Marty Lederhandler / AP PhotoHelen Gurley Brown(Feb. 18, 1922–Aug. 13, 2012) Women enjoy sex. And sometimes they're not even married when they have it. It was a landmark notion when Helen Gurley Brown, who ++died Aug. 13++ [http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2012/08/13/helen-gurley-brown-dies-at-90.html] at age 90, introduced it to mainstream readers in the early 1960s. Brown's culture-shaking bestseller, Sex and the Single Girl, was published in 1962. It was a work—championed by some, reviled by others, and progressive to all—that taught unmarried women how to seize the opportunities afforded by single life, even if that "opportunity" happened to be a married man. As the editor of Cosmopolitan from 1965 to 1977, she liberated readers with frank talk about sex, fashion, and what a woman's well-being really entailed. But more than anything, says author John Searles at The Daily Beast of his many years working for Brown at Cosmo: "I learned that Helen was much more than a sex kitten." AP PhotoAndy Griffith(June 1, 1926–July 3, 2012) Mayberry was small-town utopia. The fictional setting of the classic '60s sitcom The Andy Griffith Show was comfort food in a decade that grew increasingly tumultuous. And Andy Griffith was its venerable mayor. Griffith, who died July 3 at age 86, spent seven seasons as Sheriff Andy Taylor, the straight man and heart of a comedy so popular it was still No. 1 in the ratings when it went off the air. Three decades later, the actor struck gold again as cantankerous defense attorney Ben Matlock on the popular long-running drama Matlock, but Malcolm Jones at The Daily Beast says that The Andy Griffith Show and the charming town of Mayberry will forever be Griffith's finest achievement: "Fifty years later, faults and all, it's still one of the best things ever to appear on American television." NBC / Getty ImagesPhyllis Diller(July 17, 1917–Aug. 20, 2012) It's hard to settle on Phyllis Diller's signature attribute. Her famously wild hair? Her unmistakable cackle—so often employed to laugh at her own jokes—and raspy smoker's voice? The long cigarette she held as a prop? Yet what Diller, who died Aug. 20 at age 95, will most be remembered for is forging the way for women in comedy, hanging her hat right next to the men with her self-deprecating zingers and acerbic wit. She broke out with guest appearances on Bob Hope's TV specials, starred in two eponymous TV shows, and was a regular on Laugh-In. "She knew a woman's place was not in the home," says Roseanne Barr at The Daily Beast, "at a time when everyone on earth regurgitated that canard every minute of the day." Everett CollectionTony Scott(June 21, 1944–Aug. 19, 2012) "He's a bull, and I am too," said Ridley Scott of his brother and occasional producing partner, Tony, in an interview just before the Top Gun director's death. "Nothing takes him down. We have enormous pain resistance." The words were especially haunting, as they were released three days after Tony Scott's apparent suicide Aug. 19 at age 68. A veteran director, Scott was best known for testosterone-fueled action flicks like Top Gun, True Romance, and Unstoppable. "In many ways, Tony Scott helped define the modern Hollywood blockbuster," says The Daily Beast's Marlow Stern, "with his trademark hyperkinetic camera, dazzling set pieces, booming orchestral scores, and A-list star power." AP PhotoGore Vidal(Oct. 3, 1925–July 31, 2012) Gore Vidal's words were both incomparably clever—"Every time a friend succeeds, I die a little"—and timeless. His shrewd political play The Best Man was as resonant in its recent hit Broadway revival as it was when it was first staged in 1960. An author, a playwright, a commentator, and, briefly, a politician, Vidal died July 31 at age 86. Beginning as a teenager, he wrote 25 novels, including Lincoln, Burr, and Myra Breckenridge. His 1948 work The City and the Pillar was so controversial (it featured openly gay characters) that The New York Times refused to review his next few books. Rebellious and political-minded, he ran for office twice, though he lost both times. Alex J. Berliner / AP PhotoMarvin Hamlisch(June 2, 1944–Aug. 6, 2012) Legendary composer and conductor Marvin Hamlisch, who died Aug. 6 at age 68, is in rare company. He is one of only 11 people to win the EGOT grand slam, snagging each of the four major creative awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony. His music played vital roles in films like The Way We Were and The Sting, for both of which he won Academy Awards. He was named 1974's Best New Artist at the Grammys, and took home two of his three Emmys for his work on Barbra Streisand's 1995 TV special. His iconic melodies for the Broadway musical A Chorus Line not only earned him a Tony but also the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Steve Castillo / AP PhotoRay Bradbury(Aug. 22, 1920–June 5, 2012) "You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down." That's one of the most enduring quotations from Ray Bradbury, who died June 5 at age 91—and there are plenty more poignant pieces of wisdom to choose from. The New York Times calls the author "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream," which he did with his smash works The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and, chiefly, Fahrenheit 451. By extension, says The Daily Beast's Malcolm Jones, he "taught generations of readers the benefits of letting their imaginations run wild." AP PhotoErnest Borgnine(Jan. 24, 1917–July 8, 2012) To call Ernest Borgnine's career prolific would still be selling the award-winning actor short. The stocky World War II vet, who died July 8 at age 95, was one of Hollywood's most unconventional and memorable leading men. He won the Best Actor Oscar for his tender performance as a lonely butcher in 1955's Marty. Among his five decades of impressive film credits: From Here to Eternity, The Dirty Dozen, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Wild Bunch, and The Poseidon Adventure. His TV career spans the comedy classic McHale's Navy to 2011's telefilm Love's Christmas Journey, with heralded stops on ER and SpongeBob SquarePants along the way. A pistol, he recently revealed his shocking secret to longevity: "I masturbate a lot." CBS Photo Archive / Getty Images Sherman Hemsley(Feb. 1, 1938–July 24, 2012) Before there were the Huxtables, there were the Jeffersons. Sherman Hemsley, who died July 24 at age 74, first endeared himself to audiences by sparring with Archie Bunker as George Jefferson on All in the Family. The character became so wildly popular that he and his wife, played by Isabel Sanford, soon "moved on up to the East Side" in a spinoff called The Jeffersons. It ran for a whopping 11 seasons and was remarkable for its portrayal of an affluent (the Jeffersons had their own maid), opinionated, and loving black couple. Hemsley went on to star in the sitcom Amen and lend a voice to the series Dinosaurs, but it's the lovably imperious George Jefferson for which he'll be forever remembered. Mark Humphrey / AP PhotoKitty Wells(Aug. 30, 1919–July 16, 2012) Patsy Cline, Reba McEntire, Taylor Swift—they all followed a path first traversed by the cowboy boots of trailblazer Kitty Wells, the first female superstar of country music. Wells, who died July 18 at age 92, scored the first No. 1 hit on the country music charts by a female solo artist with her song "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" in 1952. In the decades that followed, Wells recorded 50 albums and had 25 top 10 country hits, cementing her status as a legendary crooner. As country singer Laura Cantrell writes at The Daily Beast, "Kitty Wells started her career as a 'girl singer' in the 1940s and ended it as the 'Queen of Country Music.'" AP PhotoRichard Dawson(Nov. 20, 1932–June 2, 2012) He may have broken out as an actor in the popular TV comedy Hogan's Heroes, but it's the smirk and swagger—not to mention puckered lips—that Richard Dawson hosted Family Feud with from 1976 to 1985 that truly charmed audiences. As famous for kissing the game show's female contestants as he was for his bellowing of "survey says," Dawson, who died June 2 at age 79, later parodied his cheeky reputation in the 1987 action flick The Running Man. "You think Don Draper typifies that lost American masculinity we're all obsessed with these days?" says Rebecca Dana at The Daily Beast. "Don Draper is an inarticulate slob compared to Richard Dawson." AP PhotoCeleste Holm(April 29, 1917–July 15, 2012) Celeste Holm's career as a scene-stealing character actress began when she was cast as Ado Annie, the boy-crazy beauty who "cain't say no," in the original Broadway cast of Oklahoma! It wasn't long after that the actress, who died July 15 at age 95, was accepting the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her witty turn opposite Gregory Peck in Gentleman's Agreement. In the next three years, she would be nominated for two more Oscars, for Come to the Stable and All About Eve. The rest of her six-decade career was split between stage—where she performed in The King and I and Mame—and screen, where she had memorable roles in High Society, the TV version of Cinderella, and the drama series Promised Land. Chris Pizzello / AP PhotoKathryn Joosten(Dec. 20, 1939–June 2, 2012) Kathryn Joosten didn't begin acting until she was 42, but the Emmy-winning actress, who died June 2 at age 72, made a lasting impression on the industry in those later years. As President Bartlet's no-nonsense secretary, Mrs. Landingham, on The West Wing, she was one of the few characters who could believably dress down Martin Sheen's strong-willed commander in chief. She won two Emmy awards as Karen McCluskey, Wisteria Lane's most cantankerous, snoopy resident, on Desperate Housewives. She's nominated again at this year's Emmys, and could score a third trophy for her emotional final run—which included a heartrending death scene—on the dramedy. AP PhotoChad Everett(June 11, 1936–July 24, 2012) Chad Everett's dashing smile was a staple on TV for more than 40 years but was never more engaging than when flashed for his role as surgeon Dr. Joe Gannon, whom the actor played on Medical Center for seven years. Everett, who died July 24 at age 75, was nominated for two Golden Globes for the series, which was at the time the longest-running medical drama in TV history. His career also included roles in the series Hagen, the 2001 film Mulholland Drive, and, most recently, an episode of Castle that aired last February. ABC / Getty ImagesRon Palillo(April 2, 1949–Aug. 14, 2012) No list of TV's most lasting, lovable nerds—Screech, Steve Urkel, the Glee kids, or Sheldon Cooper—would be complete without Ron Palillo's Arnold Horshack on Welcome Back, Kotter, who embodied the phrase "adorkable" long before Zooey Deschanel ever twisted her face into a goofy smirk. Palillo, who died Aug. 14 at age 63, crafted the iconic geek, with his habit of screeching "oooh, oooh, oooh" while raising his hand in class, his grating laugh, and signature delivery of "How-wah-ya? I'm Ahnold Horshaaack!" Says Kotter costar Gabe Kaplan, "I think everyone had a Horshack in their school, and there's also a bit of Horshack in all of us." Tim Boyle / Getty ImagesMaeve Binchy(May 28, 1940–July 30, 2012) Maeve Binchy's novels often depicted friendship between women, evoked Ireland, and were prodigious—routinely tallying more than 600 pages and large enough to be a doorstop. The Irish author's best-known works included Light a Penny Candle, Circle of Friends, and Tara Road, which earned publishing's golden stamp of approval—an Oprah's Book Club Selection—in 1998. Binchy, who died July 30 at age 72, sold more than 40 million books worldwide, a level of success that didn't go unnoticed. "I do realize that I'm a popular writer who people buy to take on vacation," she once said. "I'm an escapist kind of writer. I was just lucky I lived in this time of mass-market paperbacks." AP PhotoAnn Rutherford(Nov. 2, 1917–June 11, 2012) Ann Rutherford launched her career as the girl next door. Then she played one of cinema's most famous sisters. The actress, who died June 11 at age 94, broke out as an MGM studio star, playing opposite Mickey Rooney in You're Only Young Once and reprising her role as Polly, the girl next door, in a dozen movies. Her rising profile soon landed her the part of Scarlett O'Hara's younger sister in Gone With the Wind. Rutherford went on to play a number of iconic roles, from a Bennett sister in 1940's Pride and Prejudice to Suzanne Pleshette's mother in The Bob Newhart Show—though she ended up turning down one of the most famous roles in modern film: Rose Calvert, eventually played by Gloria Stuart, in 1997's Titanic. AP PhotoAlexander Cockburn(June 6, 1941–July 21, 2012) Alexander Cockburn was, above all things, a radical journalist. The fiery writer, who died July 21 at age 71, wrote for The Village Voice, The Nation, The New Statesman, The Wall Street Journal, and numerous other publications. His work was caustic, unapologetic, and sometimes indefensible. A left-wing journalist who condemned the fecklessness of the American liberal establishment and criticized Israel's policies in the Middle East, he earned both the ire and respect of colleagues for his punishing and controversial opinions.

It's that time of year again… while I no longer live in a place that has real "winter", I remember it well – when the snow is no longer pretty, it just turns into brown slush immediately; when you can never seem to get warm… ever; when you've had enough of heated air and long to throw the windows open; and when you're just waiting for that day… that day of the first thaw, when it gets warm enough to have your coat unzipped and the promise of spring is in the air…. and you know that there really will be an end to the cold and wet.
And this is also the time when we start to notice more sickness in our lives. From the germs we pick up on the subway/bus/train/escalator at the mall, to the germs that the kids bring home, to the recycled indoor air that we're breathing over and over, our immunity goes down and the aches and runny nose begin.

text: Now, normally I try to avoid listening to Colin Cowherd, but I was driving in to work this morning (delayed start to the school day!) and was caught up in my own thoughts before I realized he was spouting his normal verbal diarrhea directly into my annoyed ear. But he did make one point, that most championship teams have players that end up as future coaches and GMs. Of course, a lot of the reason this happens is because they won championships (you think Danny Ainge would be a GM if he wasn't on those championship teams?), so it's kind of a cause/effect issue, but his was an interesting point: basketball IQ is an underrated quality in basketball players, and championship teams have high basketball IQs all the way around. So if we're looking at future front-office/coaching types, what players on this team are cerebral enough that you could see in that role? Basically, I only really see Billups, Monroe, Singler, and maybe Pope or Bynum finding a life in suits after basketball. The rest of the team really does seem to lack a high basketball IQ. Anyone else agree?


text: Hey guys not sure if you guys have noticed or not, but we have this new forum. Where we can start gathering and sharing our HIC info, and not in EMAILS. I think this new forum will be a great tool for ALOT of people. I know alot of people lurk and dont join. In a few months I hope to get started on a HIC once the ESB is finished up when I return to the US.

It sounds like she is genetically skittish and nervy, if you've seen this from day one. Probably the main reason she was rejected from detection dog work. I'd try to build her confidence through working with you. Obedience, tug, fetch, you could test her in schutzhund or ring if you have the time and interest a local club. Take her on sniff and go walks, practice bonding games. Find something that really excites her, and work with that. Frisbee, tug... ball... keep it fun. She'll gain confidence.
As for pooping on the patio- take her on multiple walks a day to avoid the mess. Or teach her to eliminate in one part of your yard on command. I've heard of malinois that paint their kennels with poop- but I've never seen it. I think you run into this type of problem if the dog wasn't kept clean as a pup or kenneled too much as a young dog. Not super uncommon but not something I'd want to deal with.
These should be helpful and add time and patience. Just got a rescue dog is in the GSD link post 8.
Not what I would expect from a Malinois but with a rescue you get what you get. But with some careful
work I think you can have a good dog.

Five Golden Rules for Working with Fearful Dogs by Nicole Wilde | Fearfuldogs' Blog
|This may not be the problem but I can't think of anything else. Is she spayed? My dad used to breed working border collies before he died, and one of his females went crazy during her cycles and acted like a completely different dog. She was practically bipolar-- one day she would be extra clingy and not want to go out. The next day she would be digging up his garden. Needless to say the crazy hormonal behavior was a cause for her to be fixed since she tainted the breeding program. lol
Have you been taking her out for long walks?
Hikes in the woods?
Fun trick classes with other pups her age?
Met many new people all carrying treats?
Playing with her? Flirt poles? Frisbee? Chuckit? She's a 'working' dog and needs training, exercise, fun and all that will help her bond with you and feel secure in her new life.
|Have any changes been made to the yard that may have triggered it? Anything negative happen to her in the yard?
Belgian Malinois
Hello all.. Been reading the forum for a while now but just now making my first post. I adopted and Belgian Malinois from a company that trains dogs. She was in the explosives program but did not have the drive to do the work. She is about a year and a half old now and ever since I got her she has been skiddish and scared of certain things. She used to be excited to go outside and would run laps around the yard and generally have fun. As of lately she doesn't even want to go outside and will not leave the patio. With that she has been going to the bathroom on the patio or the very edge of the patio, the second she is done she jumps at the back door and wants back in. I'm also having a problem with her stepping in her own feces and urine which leads me to cleaning her off almost every time I bring her back in now. Has anyone had this problem or know some steps I can take to remedy this problem?

text: Show your support for Wisconsin educators at rallies on Tuesday in Boston and Springfield Wisconsin educators and other public employees are fighting an unprecedented attack on their right to bargain. Come show your support for our fellow union members at rallies in Boston and Springfield scheduled from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, February 22. WHAT: Stand Up for Wisconsin WorkersWHERE: Springfield City Hall Steps or the Massachusetts State House in BostonWHEN: Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 4 pm BACKGROUND: Thousands are rallying at the Capitol in Wisconsin to defeat Gov. Scott Walker's plan to strip public employees of their right to bargain. After Democratic lawmakers left the state in solidarity with the protesters, the state Senate in Wisconsin failed to achieve a quorum – and the vote on Walker's bill has been delayed. We are urging MTA members to show their support for Wisconsin workers and send a message to kill the bill! Momentum in favor of the workers is growing. President Obama called Walker's plan "an assault on unions." The archbishop of Milwaukee and players for the Green Bay Packers are supporting the protesters. The New York Times editorialized that "unions should make their voices heard and push back hard against this misguided plan." Let's show Wisconsin workers that educators in Massachusetts support them, too! Under Walker's bill, public employees would be barred from bargaining about anything except wages, and any pay increase they win would be limited by the consumer price index. Contracts would be limited to a year, and union dues could no longer be deducted from paychecks. This is a blatant attempt to destroy public employee unions in that state. The MTA is working with the Pioneer Valley AFL-CIO to put on the Springfield rally. The Boston rally is being organized by MTA along with several statewide labor organizations.

Armored Assault Bots are T3 bots which are significantly more powerful and expensive than other T3 units, so much so that some refer to them as "Tech 3.5".
The two Tech 3 armored assault bots are the UEF Percival and the Cybran Brick. Both are amphibious, and both have significant range.
The Aeon Illuminate and Seraphim do not have armored assault bots but have Sniper Bots instead.
Factional DifferencesEdit
The UEF Percival is more prone to overkill due to its initial shot damage of 1600. It also has a much lower ROF than its Cybran counterpart. It does, however, have more HP and DPS than the Brick.
The Cybran Brick has a greater rate of fire and is, therefore, better for facing groups of T1 or T2 units. It is also much better suited for crossing water safely, as it has a torpedo system and flares. A group of ten or more Bricks will have decent self defensive cababilities, though they should not be given a combative role.
The UEF Percival can be an alternative to the Aeon and Seraphim's Sniper Bots. They have the same build time but cost 75% more energy and 60% more mass. They have about 20 times higher health, 3 times higher DPS and similar damage to an Aeon Sniper Bot (in between the two modes of the Seraphim Sniper Bot). In some ways, the Percival is a shorter-ranged sniper bot.
In direct combat, one UEF Percival will beat one Cybran Brick, but the Percival's low rate of fire will increase its vulnerability when facing large groups.
Strategy Edit
Armored Assault Bots are useful for escorting or defending against experimental units.
These units, while substantially more powerful than a standard unit, are also substantially more expensive. On the flip side, a handful of these units can hold their own against an experimental unit. It is not rare to see a Cybran Monkeylord destroyed by a group of Percivals. Percivals are particularly effective against Fatboys: armored enough to take the Fatboy's massive damage output until they are inside the shield and can take one or two final shots. A group of twelve or more should take out a Fatboy. In fact, these units are the missing level between Tech 3 and Experimental. You should build them if your economy is strong enough, but can't build any experimental units yet.
Armored Assault Bots are also perfect back up to your experimental units. They are the only units that can take the splash damage directed at the experimental units, and they are great at increasing the army's damage output, and cleaning up around your experimental units.
The Brick is very capable of carrying out attacks with very little escort, but it is important to remember that Percivals only fire once every 4 seconds, so it can be killed by a surround of units, even tech 1 units. Escort for Percivals is absolutely necessary, therefore, unless you have enough Percivals to deal with a swarm of units. Titans are excellent escorts for Percivals, thanks to a much higher rate of fire, shielding, and the ability to chase down escaping units, including faster experimentals if need be.
An interesting thing about armored assault bots, and submersible land units in general is that they can fire while semi-submerged, as long as their firing point is out of the water (for Percivals, their shoulder-cannon, and for Bricks, a little red dot that kinda looks like an eye) they can target and destroy units on land, but those units cannot target the armored assault bot. This includes air units, excluding the Torpedo Bombers .
