Canisius College junior pitcher Jen Consaul and freshman third baseman Bethany DeMarco were honored by the MAAC on Monday, as Consaul was named the league's Pitcher of the Week and DeMarco was tabbed as the conference's Rookie of the Week.
This marks the second time Consaul has been named the MAAC's Pitcher of the Week, as she was also honored April 23, 2012. DeMarco is the first freshman on this year's roster to be recognized for her play by the conference. Together, Consaul and DeMarco have helped the Golden Griffins to the program's best start to a season since 1994.
Consaul has started her junior campaign with a 3-1 record to go with a save and a 1.12 ERA in six appearances. The Chili, N.Y., native picked up her first win of the season Feb. 17 in Canisius' 10-2 win over St. Bonaventure and then she went on to earn wins against St. Francis (Pa.) and North Carolina A&T Feb. 24. In the win over North Carolina A&T, her 20th career win in the circle as a Griff, she fanned a career-high 11 batters and gave up just two hits en route to her sixth career shutout win. Consaul leads the Griffs' pitching staff with 25.0 innings of action where she has fanned 22 batter, and opponents are hitting just .187 off her this season.
DeMarco started her college career off on the right foot as she hit .462 (6-for-13) with a double, five RBIs and two runs scored in five games through Feb. 24. After going hitless in her first two career games, the Victor, N.Y., native picked up her first career base hit against Bucknell Feb. 17 and then followed that with a 3-for-4 performance against St. Francis (Pa.) Feb. 24 where she drove in four runs and scored once in the team's 10-4 win over the Red Flash. She also had two hits against North Carolina A&T Feb. 24, highlighted by her first career extra base hit to go with an RBI and a run scored. Defensively, she has 13 putouts and seven assists and she has not committed an error in 20 fielding chances.The Griffs played two games on Monday on the final day of the North Carolina A&T Invitational and won both games to improve the team's record to 7-1 on the year. The Blue and Gold will have a week off before the team travels to Hampton, Va., March 8-9 to take part in the Hampton Pirate Invitational.

"Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes"
U.S. Dramatic
**1/2 (two and a half stars)
It's tragic when you see a director over-extending. Writer/director Francesca Gregorini brings her first film since 2009's "Tanner Hall" to Sundance, and the result is an over-written psychological drama that tends to be more pretentious than lyrical and more overwrought than haunting. Emanuel is a sarcastic but well-meaning teen (Kaya Scodelario) who befriends a new mother (Jessica Biel) that just moved in next door. But upon meeting her, Emanuel discovers a horrifying secret: The mother apparently is traumatized into believing that a doll is really her baby daughter. Biel is good and so is Scodelario, and the situation is laced with some darkly-comic moments. But Gregorini fails to develop their relationship in a more convincing manner, and by the end we're hard-pressed to believe that the normally-acerbic Emanuel would suddenly become more sensitive. But you do have to applaud Gregorini for just getting "Emanuel" made. As Biel noted after the film's premiere Friday, there are so few good roles for women, and it's refreshing just to see a movie in which women talk to other women.

"Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes" screens again: Saturday at 9 p.m. at the Peery's Egyptian theater in Ogden; Sunday at 9:15 p.m. at the Salt Lake City Library Theatre, Salt Lake City; Monday at 11:30 a.m. at the Library Center Theatre, Park City; Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. at the Eccles Theatre, Park City, and Friday at 8:30 a.m. at The MARC, Park City

Women's Basketball Travels to In-State Rival Wisconsin on Monday
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's basketball wraps up the month of December as it travels to face in-state rival Wisconsin for a nationally televised game on Monday at the Kohl Center. Gametime is set for 6 p.m. and will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
Lisa Byington will have the play-by-play call alongside color commentator Debbie Antonelli on the BTN. Fans can also listen to all the action on Green Bay's new radio partner, WNFL 1440 AM. The live audio with Bruce VandenPlas on the call will also be available for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices. Live stats will be available through UWBadgers.com.
Monday's game marks the 30th all-time meeting between in-state rivals Green Bay and Wisconsin. The Badgers lead the all-time series 18-11, but it has been all Phoenix recently. Green Bay has emerged victorious in the last four meetings and won the last three matchups by 15 or more points.
The Phoenix is currently on a three-game skid for the first time since the 2003-04 season. Despite the losses, Green Bay has played strong against a tough slate of opponents (South Dakota State, Wichita State, then-No. 18 Purdue). In each of those contests the Phoenix led by as many as eight points in the first half, and against Wichita State (-5) and Purdue (-4) the final score differential was under five points.
Sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) and freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) currently lead the team averaging 10.3 points/game, while Buck also averages a team-best 1.8 steals and 4.0 assists/game. Senior Breannah Ranger averages a team-leading 7.2 rebounds/game and freshman Mariah Monke (Fergus Falls, Minn.) averages 0.9 blocks/game.
Wisconsin comes into Monday's contest with an overall record of 6-5. The Badgers have lost three games in a row, including a close 58-56 defeat at the hands of Horizon League opponent UIC on Dec. 21. Wisconsin averages 67.6 points, 38.5 rebounds, 12.8 turnovers, 3.9 steals and 3.9 blocks per game this season. The Badgers have used the same starting five in all 11 games this season, and three of those players are averaging double-digit scoring. Michala Johnson leads the way with 15.2 PPG and 8.4 RPG, followed by Taylor Wurtz with 14.5 PPG, 7.3 RPG and 2.7 APG and Morgan Paige with 12.7 PPG.
1. Unfamiliar Territory: The Phoenix has now lost three games in a row for the first time since the 2003-04 season, and three consecutive home game since the same season. Despite the losses Green Bay has seen this start before with a great turnaround: during the '03-04 season the team went on to win the Horizon League championship and advance to the NCAA Tournament.
2. A Long December: The Phoenix will look to avoid a winless December when it takes on Wisconsin on December 30. Green Bay is currently 0-3 this month with losses to South Dakota State, Wichita State and No. 18/21 Purdue. It is more unfamiliar territory for the Phoenix not having a win this month, as they have only gone winless in December one other season (1976-77).
3. Going Streaking: With a loss to Purdue on December 18, the Phoenix saw a streak of eight consecutive wins against Big Ten opponents come to an end. Green Bay will have a chance to restart the streak, though, when they face Wisconsin on Monday. The Phoenix has defeated the Badgers in each of their last four meetings, including a 53-38 triumph last season at the Kress.
4. Close, but not Enough: Out of the Phoenix's four losses this year, all but one have come by slim margins of fewer than six points. Additionally, in the three most recent defeats at home, Green Bay owned a least an eight-point lead at some point in the first half before going on to be outscored by a combined total of 102-80 in the second half.
5. Turnover Totals: Forcing turnovers while taking care of the ball has been a staple of the strong defensive play for the Phoenix under head coach Kevin Borseth. Green Bay currently averages 14.2 turnovers per game while forcing its competition into 20.4 turnovers per game, a differential of +6.2. The +6.2 differential currently ranks second in the conference and 19th in the nation.

Boba Fett's Jetpack is formally known as a Mitrinomon Z-6 Rocket Pack. From a technical standpoint, the pack lacks a jet engine's air intake which makes it a rocket pack, but it is commonly referred to as a 'jetpack.'
Unlike Boba Fett's Empire Strikes Back Jetpack which is essentially one color, the Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Jetpack utilizes the same color patterns as seen on the Prototype costume jetpacks.
The primary jetpacks are hollow fiberglass castings with resin details. Some packs include electronics and even the ability to create a smoke effect!

A replacement schedule is the length of time your contacts can be worn before they need to be replaced with new lenses (taking them out at night is a given unless you have "extended wear" contacts). Your eye doctor can help you decide what the best replacement and wearing schedule for you is based on your lifestyle and vision correction needs. Here is a list of the different replacement schedule options you can discuss with your eye doctor.
Daily Disposable
This replacement schedule is ideal for patients who may suffer from allergies from contact lens solutions because daily disposable contact lenses eliminate the need for lens cleaning or disinfection. Since daily disposable contact lenses are replaced each day, they're also the healthiest lens option and can help those that suffer from ocular allergies. CooperVision makes great daily disposable contact lens options. One option is Proclear 1 Day contact lenses. They are made with PC Technology™, which is a lens material that contains molecules found naturally in human cell membranes. These molecules attract and surround themselves with water, keeping Proclear contact lenses moist and comfortable, even after 12 hours of wear. In fact, Proclear lenses are the only contact lenses for dry eyes with FDA clearance for the claim: "may provide improved comfort for contact lens wearers who experience mild discomfort or symptoms relating to dryness during lens wear."
Two Week
Contact lenses that are replaced every two weeks are also known as disposable lenses. It is the most popular replacement schedule in the U.S. because of a combination of affordability and convenience. CooperVision offers Avaira contact lenses in this replacement schedule. Avaira contact lenses are made from material that uses Aquaform® Comfort Science Technology. As a result, the lens material is a softer, more flexible one, contributing to Avaira's extremely comfortable lens wearing experience.
This replacement schedule is when contact lenses are replaced on a monthly basis. This schedule is convenient because it contains contact lenses that are made from silicone hydrogel materials that are FDA approved for extended wear. These materials offer the highest levels of oxygen to the eye, which significantly reduces the effects of hypoxic stress to the cornea. Extended wear is when a contact lens wearer chooses to sleep in their contact lenses. CooperVision offers a monthly contact lens line called Biofinity for this replacement schedule. It is FDA approved for 6 nights and 7 days of extended wear. Patients who choose to wear monthly lenses for extended wear should consult their eye doctor about their exact replacement schedule.
As long as the contact lenses are properly cared for and a patient follows the replacement schedule recommended by his/her eye doctor, contact lenses are a safe and convenient option for correcting vision. Make sure to talk to your eye doctor about you contact lens options. No matter what replacement schedule you choose, CooperVision is sure to have a contact lens for you.

Two years ago, on the first of July, residents of Minneapolis saw Midwest summer weather at its ugliest. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the skies turned a "surreal" shade of black and green as a squall line moved toward the city. In just half an hour, three inches of rain doused parts of the city. A foot of water rushed into the Mall of America, and a power outage forced doctors in one hospital to deliver babies by flashlight.
To the northwest, things were a whole lot worse. Twelve tornadoes rampaged through the surrounding counties, knocking down houses by the hundreds and trees by the thousands. The town of Monticello, the Star-Tribune reported, looked like a logging camp. "There were no fatalities—amazingly," says Gregory Tipton, who at the time was a journeyman forecaster in charge of reading the Doppler radar at the National Weather Service bureau near Minneapolis.
There was little warning for these tornadoes because, according to Tipton, the July 1 storm fooled meteorologists. Most of its tornadoes formed from the ground up—the opposite of a textbook tornado, which is supposed to descend from the clouds. The standard model of tornado development invokes the "dynamic pipe effect." In this model, a tornado gets started three miles or so above the ground with the formation of a broad vortex up to several miles wide, called a mesocyclone. Within the vortex air converges into smaller eddies, and as it converges it starts spinning faster, in the same way that a figure skater spins faster when she pulls in her arms. Eventually, the rotating air column becomes condensed enough to form a barrier that keeps any more air at its own level from getting in. Then the vortex has to suck air in from below. This, in turn, causes the air at the lower levels to circulate faster. Eventually the barrier moves down to the lower levels, and the column of spinning air (the "dynamic pipe") grows longer. It's a fairly slow process, so forecasters usually have about 20 minutes from the appearance of the first eddy on their radar screens until the touchdown of the tornado.
But in a forthcoming study of tornado patterns all over the country, nearly half the tornadoes failed to conform to the dynamic-pipe model. These "nondescending" tornadoes, which form either from the bottom up or at all heights simultaneously, are more likely to be associated with squall lines, as the Minnesota tornadoes were, and they give much less advance warning of their presence than the typical top-down tornado.
Three years ago, Jeffrey Trapp and Robert Davies-Jones of the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, Oklahoma derived a mathematical model that explains how a tornado can grow from the ground up, describing their work in the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences. If air within the mesocyclone starts to converge first at ground level (Trapp says the formation of the mesocyclone at ground level is "still hotly debated"), then updrafts resulting from the buoyancy of hot air can stretch the vortex upward. As it stretches, it becomes narrower, and (think of the figure skater again) spins faster and faster. In as little as five minutes, according to computer simulations, it can spin up to a full-fledged tornado.
To see how often this behavior is actually observed in the field, Trapp went to DeWayne Mitchell, the developer of the Tornado Detection Algorithm now installed on all Doppler radar stations nationwide. "Someone on the ground would not be able to distinguish a tornado that formed on the ground from one that formed aloft," explains Mitchell. The visible shape of a funnel cloud depends on the debris it collects and the condensation point of water, and not directly on the winds that give it birth, which might be quite invisible. They are not invisible, however, to Doppler radar. The telltale sign is an intense wind shear, created as the air on one side of the funnel moves toward the radar station and the air on the other side moves away.
Even with Doppler radar, though, a ground-up tornado can be tricky to detect, because the line of sight of radar gradually rises with distance. From a distance of 100 miles, radar cannot detect anything less than a mile high and thus misses anything happening near ground level. To get around this problem, Trapp and Mitchell pared down an existing storm database to confirmed tornadoes that passed within 75 miles of a Doppler radar station. To avoid a "Tornado Alley" bias, they also picked tornadoes from various areas of the country. Out of the 52 storms they analyzed, they found that 25 fit the "nondescending" profile. Their study will appear later this year in Weather and Forecasting.
None of the storms studied by Trapp and Mitchell were as powerful as the half-mile-wide tornado that killed 38 people in the Oklahoma City area this May 3. Forecasters spotted that tornado well in advance, issuing a warning 25 minutes before it struck the city. Although meteorologists don't know yet whether ground-up tornadoes can get that strong, Mitchell says it is safer not to assume they can't. "We have essentially no skill at forecasting the strength of tornadoes," Mitchell says. Therefore, he says, forecasters must treat every tornado as "potentially devastating."
Because nondescending tornadoes develop so quickly, there may be little that radar can do to issue a warning earlier. Five minutes is just the length of time between two sequences of Doppler radar sweeps, so a new tornado can brew up literally while the radar is looking the other way. In such cases, the judgment of the meteorologist—who also has satellite and spotter reports, and the benefit of years of experience—may be key. "This person always plays second fiddle to the Doppler radar," Tipton says. "In my opinion, they should be spoken about as equals."—Dana Mackenzie

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
The torque is to ensure that the axle/hub/bearing/knuckle relationship stay solid as a rock. If torque falls off then axle begins to wobble and bearing comes apart early. Torque must be higher than any forces encountered by front end to loosen parts.
When you pull up the torque it is applying to both the race sets in bearing, two bearings back to back in there. As he said on threads, if you bottomed on them bearing would be torn up in 5 minutes.
Not saying it could happen here, but blown motors have occurred because oil overfilled. Crank whips oil into oil and then pump cannot pump air, oil pressure drops like a rock. You'll never see that with just a light, maybe not even with electric OP gauge. A mechanical one will show it instantly. Definitely no wives tale there.
I use the big FL1 filter, closer to a quart.
You don't want the nut to "reach the bottom of the threads" (commonly called being "threadbound") because in the case of the Focus wheel bearings the nut would not be applying any clampup force which is what is required here. The torque applied (including what the torque wrench was indicating) would be meaningless. The torque value range specified is required to have the nut apply the desired clampup force.
As to the OPs original question......the torque values/torque procedures listed in the Owner's Manual, the Service/Shop Manuals, TBs or Tech Tips have not just been pulled out of thin air. The listed torque values such as in this application are determined by engineers who take the expected loads, the materials used, fits and clearances etc, into account. In the example of the rear wheel bearing/axle nut, obviously if you got really carried away and went way over the specified torque you could shear off the end of the spindle, or you could over stress it and you wouldn't know it until it broke off when you were driving along.
Capacities listed in the OM do not include the filter. Not that our filters hold 1/2 a qt anyway, but I've been putting in 5 qts every change since 05 when it had 5 miles on the odo. Nothing broke in 150k.
That was an old argument I had with people who were being silly worrying that they'd overfill and blow the rings out over 1/2 qt. I drove an old Datsun once with like 8 qts in it. Not my fault, but it happened. That's when I learned there are old wives tales, and old men's tales. Accidents like that are how I learned a lot of things.
The only reason for that much torque is to insure the nut has reached the bottom of the threads.
Methinks our "space brother" mis-spoke, as I'm SURE he wouldn't be taking a torque wrench at 30lb. to the bearings in question...
To an 18 Wheeler, to "set" them while turning them, B4 backing it off & re-torquing to a lower number - yeah, I've done that....
Soooooooooooooo......................what planet do you hail from, space brother?
Here on planet earth tightening old school tapered roller wheel bearings is done in INCH pounds not foot, 30 ft.lbs. and you're walking home in five minutes. I usually use 15-20 in.lbs., but much of it is feel for looseness just disappearing. A torque wrench 6 inches long.
LOL...............IIRC indeed.
Right on the no need for exact torque thing, I use anywhere from 175-200 ft.lbs. now on all 4 of mine, I like closer to 200 though.
Dunno about the 5 quart in 4.5 statement. Zetecs have a shallow secondary pan, if the addition of the extra half quart filled enough to let some show through the slat holes of the upper pan reinforcement, then one could lose a bit of power there as crank started eating oil, could induce some air injection into oil too. Maybe tear up a motor under hard use? Not like earlier stuff with more distance there. Ford spent a bit of time designing that middle reinforcement to recoup a bit of friction HP loss.
I have not filled up a pan with 4.5 quarts to check level, but I will if motor ever comes apart, I like to know things like that. Problem is, I can't seem to break one of these. Not gonna disassemble a perfectly running motor like I would when I was young and stupid................
Maybe someone else can chime in.
Huh... I thought we were talking about fronts not rears for some reason. IIRC the rears had a torque as high as the fronts- or nearly so. When you're dealing with that much torque, then it's not holding a bearing in like would be the case on the front of a RWD vehicle. Those don't generally have more than 30 ft-lbs, and a cotter pin/castle nut is what holds it in place when properly installed.
Worrying about torque exactness when you're dealing with around 200 ft-lbs is as silly as worrying about putting 5 qts in an engine when the capacities in the OM state 4.5 qts. Without such worry there might be less of a call for things like Tums or BC (Goodys!) powder, so like move forward bravely bro! You are now qualified to remove VW Type 1 drums except that you might need a small glass pipe in addition to the long metal one.
To the OP and OP help: I'd put money on that spindle being spent whether the bearing spun or not. Use your best judgement, but be prepared to replace the spindle next time. We've had more than one FF have issues with new bearings that are due to a spent spindle.
|Use a foot long piece of 2X4 and a baby sledge to remove tire/wheel, put the board on rubber not wheel edge. May have to go side to side, they always come off doing that. Antiseize on center raised pilot edge helps next time.
|Well I got the car in the air last night and, the drivers side rear was seized to the spindle. So I removed the drum with the spindle attached and put it in a vice and took the air-hammer to it. Bam, it released then. The brakes looked really good but needed adjusted badly. New drums with bearings=no noise.
I apologize.
Think about it, if metal expands when heated, if both parts are same metal, won't they both expand the same? Meaning no need to make up for it?

Ways to Restore America's Optimistic Golden Age
What cost $1 on August 15, 1971 – the day 41 years ago that Nixon removed the dollar's gold anchor and unleashed inflation – in 2012 now costs on average more than $5.65.
Measured in inflation-adjusted dollars, the average American today earns the same income as he or she would have 30 years ago. Inflation has kept the purchasing power of American wages flat for three decades.
Despite $5 Trillion in recent "stimulus spending," America's economic growth for the past two Quarters has averaged an anemic 0.85 percent, within the margin of error of being zero or lower. This means that we may already be in a double-dip Great Recession. New economic research shows that Keynesian "stimulus" doesn't work in modern societies.
The Federal Government now borrows 42 cents of every dollar it spends. The government now borrows $58,000 every second, $3.5 million every minute, $210 Million every hour....24/7.
The good news is that Craig R.

US troop morale improved in Iraq last year, but soldiers fighting in Afghanistan suffered more depression and lower morale due to the ongoing seven year conflict in that nation. Evidence indicates soldiers on their third or fourth deployment overseas had sharply greater rates of mental health problems than those on first or second deployments. The Army mental health report recommended longer home time between deployments and more focused suicide-prevention training and sending civilian psychologists and other mental health professionals to war zones.
Mental health officials reproted those on third or fourth deployments had a 27% rate of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression and post-combat stress while those on a first tour had a 12% rate. The level of stress obviously relates to the amount of exposure a soldier has being in combat areas and as violence has escalated in Afghanistan the past year while dropping in Iraq the second half of this year, it is most probably the cause of rising combat-stress rates in Afghanistan.
Soldiers who underwent a special "Battlemind" taining reported fewer problems than those who did not. There has been improvement in making soldiers aware no one has to feel embarrassed because of experiencing combat-stress. Eleven percent of those polled in Iraq said their unit morale was high compared to 7% the previous year. Of course, that figure indicates nearly 90% did NOT consider unit morale high.

If your phone were lost, would anyone know how to find you? Or would they just be stuck staring at your lock screen? Nothing against lock screens, it's a terrible idea to not have your phone password protected, no matter how convenient it might seem.
But I've got a quick trick that will allow someone who finds your phone to know who it belongs to and how to contact you. Follow these easy instructions to leave your contact information on the start screen of a phone running on Android Kit Kat. Ready? Let's go. Start by tapping Settings.
Then choose My device.
And then Lock screen.
Choose Enable Lock screen widgets.
Tap Owner information.
Then type in the information you wish to display. I
I'm putting in a name and e-mail address. You might choose to display an alternate phone number. Make sure it's an alternate number. It won't do you much good if someone is calling your lost phone. I remind you of this because the first time I did this, I entered the number of the phone I was holding.
Now my name and contact information will display on my lock screen.
If you have Android 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3 – Choose settings.
Then Security.
Then choose Screen security followed by Owner info. From there you can enter your information.

Hey all. I'm relatively new to the boards and haven't posted much but this story is too good not to share. First off, I'm a police officer in Dallas Texas, assigned to the South Central Patrol Division. I've worked for the dept. for just over 10 years. The day before yesterday I got a call on a Burglary in Progress at about 9:30AM. When I got there, I could see that the side door to this house had been pried open and was still partially ajar. Two 1-man cover elements showed up to back me up. We left one officer at the front door and the other officer and I went through the open side door.
We moved in and cleared the kitchen then started into the dining room. Then I notice this guy standing with his back to us in front of the Christmas Tree. He's in the process of tearing open the Christmas presents. His crowbar is lying on the floor and he's completely oblivious to the fact that 2 cops are pointing guns at the middle of his back. He's got a PS2 and a laptop computer all stacked up and ready to go out the door along with the family's digital camera and some jewelry. I yell at him to get on the ground…and that's when everything went to hell.
He takes off running into the back room and the other officer with me runs outside thinking that there might be a back door (nope). As the guy runs into the bathroom, I almost get ahold of the hood on his jacket, but then he slams the door on my left forearm. So my arm is stuck with him putting all his bodyweight into the door. I'm pushing back from my side of the door and screaming at him that I'm going to f'n shoot him if he doesn't let go of my arm. He's screaming, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" I'm screaming back, "Don't be sorry, just get the f..k off my arm!" I don't know where the other officer is, so even though I can't see what the badguy is doing and I'm at great risk, I can't shoot him for fear of hitting my cover through some thin drywall. Then I find out the bathroom has a 2nd door that leads into another bedroom. He gives one last hard push and breaks for the other door, now I'm free and back on his heels. We're headed back into the kitchen and he's headed right for the open door to get outside the house. As he runs into the kitchen, he grabs a wooden chair and flings it into my legs...completely taking me out. I grabbed his hood as I was falling and he dragged me for about 3 steps before he was able to unzip the jacket and leave me holding it while playing Twister with the chair on the floor…1 cop down.
As the burglar is running out the door, the other officer that initially came in with me, runs from behind me, hurtles me as I'm trying to get up and gets right back on the guy. He gets a handful of the badguy, but loses his grip and goes down on the concrete, tearing up his elbow…2 cops down. Finally the last officer, remember the guy at the front door? Well he's a good runner, and sees our badguy running out of the house. He takes off at a dead sprint and starts to close the gap on the burglar, but just as he gets from the front yard to the edge of the driveway, he slips on the wet grass, goes down on the driveway and breaks two fingers…3 cops down. We all pick ourselves up, I grab a car and another officer chases the guy into a wooded area. Finally the cavalry starts showing up and it's raining police. We get the area surrounded and FINALLY catch him hiding about 10 minutes later. Turns out the badguy had been smoking "Wet" as they call it down here. It's marijuana cigarettes dipped in embalming fluid and it has a similar effect to PCP. I ended up with some nice lacerations and a couple ugly bruises on both legs and maybe a some ligament or meniscus damage to my right knee (still need to get the MRI to confirm). It always feels great to actually snag one of the real scumbags; all the bad luck and injuries that it took to get this guy didn't temper that feeling one bit. Like I said initially, "Score one for the good guys!"

She was a centerfold and once was married to Nikki Sixx. He has been married to everyone. Anyway, back in 2007 Brandi and some of her associates smuggled drugs into Australia by hiding them on airplanes and then cleaners would pick them up. Last year Brandi was extradited to Australia and today in Australia was sentenced to six years in jail for her part in the drug ring. If she had done the crime in LA that would mean she would probably serve a week. Instead, she committed the crime in Australia and will be lucky to get out in about three years.

People like to complain about the weather—and the phone company.
Except today, it's not the phone company, it's the cellular conglomerate that controls what device you own or lease to make and receive calls. It's also about what service you have a contract with or use because there is no other one offered. In some parts of Kentucky, your choices are limited.
Sometimes, like the weather, you can't do a lot about it — except complain.
There was a lot of that on "Kentucky Tonight" Monday night. Proponents of Senate Bill 88, backed by AT&T, say the simple message behind the bill is an advanced, broadband communication technology essential for Kentucky's future. (Note: the Senate passed the bill; vote was Feb. 14)
Opponents argue that the legislation could allow telephone companies to abandon land lines in rural areas where there aren't many customers.
That was at the heart of the discussion Monday night between AT&T Attorney Patrick Turner and Tom Fitzgerald, director of the Kentucky Resources Council.
During the discussion, Turner said it was about phone company competition, which would require AT&T to maintain a robust network of phone service throughout the state; Fitzgerald disagreed and said that the consumers would be left with only three options if the bill passes and is signed into law.
The bill now moves to the state House of Representatives where it could possibly receive more discussion and a possible floor vote.

- Description
- Reviews
People, children especially, have been baffled, bewildered, and even outraged by the fact that Pluto is no longer called a planet. Through whimsical artwork by Diane Kidd and an entertaining dialogue format by Margaret A. Weitekamp and David DeVorkin, two curators at the National Air and Space Museum, Pluto's Secret: An Icy World's Tale of Discovery explains the true story of this distant world. Providing a history of the small, icy world from its discovery and naming to its recent reclassification, this book presents a fascinating look at how scientists organize and classify our solar system as they gain new insights into how it works and what types of things exist within it. The book includes a glossary and bibliography. Hardcover; 40 pages, full-color illustrations throughout. 9.1"l. x 6.6"w. x 1.1"h.
Museum Provenance
You don't need to be an astronaut OR a rocket scientist to appreciate the Human Spaceflight exhibit at our National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center. It's all about the incredible reality of space travel—how small the Mercury capsule seems; how enormous the space shuttle is.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

text: Wow, just scraped home. What a debacle from my RB's!! Again my luck turned bad with regards to guys I played. Last week I sat McGahee against NE while Parker had a dream matchup with CIN who stunk it up big time while McGahee torched NE. This week I sat Parker who played NE and proceeded to outscore both my RB's who had terrible games. Luckily Brady returned to form against the best defense (which i sat thankfully) and Brandon Marshall scored 2 TD's. I love that guy! Witten also had a nice game unfortunately for you Lions fans. So... a matchup with Ookie. I've been looking forward to this. Hopefully Addai won't score another 3 TD's but he has a very favourable game against OAK so maybe it will be 4! Jammer and Darth will meet in the other Semi. Laimbs was unlucky Kolby Smith didn't do more against a pitiful DEN run D. Anyway, Bring it on! (oh it's already been brought!) I can do a preview of both semi's later in the week once lineups have been set if you guys want. Thanks for the match Woody. You almost did me in.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Gender and Group Decision-Making: Eliciting and Acting Upon Expertise
Katie Coffman, Assistant Professor, Ohio State
From faculty committees and student projects to corporate boards and firms, many decisions are made by groups rather than by individuals. In these environments, the quality of the group decision depends upon the most knowledgeable members volunteering their opinions to the group. In this project, I use a lab experiment to explore the factors that predict an individual's decision to contribute her idea to the group. I find that gender stereotypes drive substantial inefficiencies in contribution. Women under-contribute ideas in stereotypically male domains, while men under-contribute ideas in stereotypically female domains. Furthermore, because of these patterns of under-contribution, groups often have difficultly recognizing their talent: female (male) experts in stereotypically male (female) domains are significantly less likely to be correctly identified as most knowledgeable within their group. Interventions aimed at reducing under-contribution by men and women are ineffective; in particular, providing feedback about members' relative strengths and weaknesses does not increase the likelihood that an expert contributes her opinion to the group.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

Marielle and Ali set the date for their multicultural wedding in Jacksonville, Fla. on October 12. "Having grown up Catholic, it was very important to me that we had a Catholic ceremony," Marielle said. "Ali is Persian, so it was important to him that we also had a Persian ceremony (Sofreh Aghd). For these reasons, we felt that it was best to have 2 ceremonies to incorporate both of our backgrounds." Marielle wore a lace bodice a-line wedding gown, accessorized with a pair of "something blue" Badgley Mischka peep-toe heels while Ali wore a classic black tuxedo with a bow tie. The bride's favorite moment? "Standing in the back of the church feeling excited, happy, and also a little nervous," she said. "It was crazy to think that after all the months of preparation and waiting, it was finally here." The groom's favorite moment? Of course, seeing Marielle walk down the aisle. The historic ballroom inside the Florida Yacht Club was filled with floral arrangements featuring pastel colored peonies, garden roses, white hydrangeas, baby's breath, and dusty millers. Guests couldn't resist the scenic views of the St. John River. After dinner and dancing, the newlyweds took off on a boat! Now, that's a unique send off.

Hi there BackTrack community!
- USB persistent LIVE
- Used a universal boot drive creator, then redid it with unetbootin
- Each time I formatted the disk through the command prompt using commands such as clean and create primary partion etc
The above is a list of steps that I've done to get past previous problems to get me to where I am at now. So I turn on my laptop and choose the option to boot the OS from my thumbdrive.
When I select default or boot text mode The splash(?) Will appear but I will not be able to see my mouse. Sometimes pressing the arrows keys will make a screen pop up with what I assume to be the workings of the OS. IfI wait long enough, a screen in the middle will appear on it's own and do it's thing...Eventually I come to the following messages...
Mind you I didn't right them all down completely so bear with me
- Please enter the maintence password for root (The problem is, no input except for the enter key or ctrl+d will be taken)...the password would be toor if I could type, right?
- I press control+d then -> umount: /cow:not found
- -> umount: /filesystem.squashfs: not found
- /cdrom device is busy
- /dev device is busy
I also remember at one point reading something about a debian CD and the architecxture.
Any advice for me?

My new nucs will be going into 8 frame mediums soon. I wanted to go with the small cell but Bushy Hill's description of the small call foundation said for experienced beekeepers. I am new. Foundationless also interests me very much but I get the sense I should gain a bit of experience first.Jack
i'm really thinking bout importing some of that HSC or permacomb! it sure is expensive...with all the postal costs and stuff but for results..i hope it'll be worth it, if i do it.
I wanted to go with the small cell but Bushy Hill's description of the small call foundation said for experienced beekeepers. I am new. Foundationless also interests me very much but I get the sense I should gain a bit of experience first.Jack
You could add a second box (smallcell foundation) now, a third box (small foundation)early summer. Remove the bottom box (old largecell) early next spring when the cluster is up high, and add a box of small foundation on top. Basically you do a demaree (I think that is what it's called) and at the same time do a swithcheroo of boxes. You will most likely have to rotate the second box(now the new bottom box) out of the stack too (later, perhaps) because the initial box (attempt) at drawing small cells usually doesn't look too pretty. By the middle of next season you would have removed all large cell boxes that are on the hive now, as well as the first box of smallcell that you installed.
I read that in the dadant catalog, and took it to be nothing but a bunch of hoohoo. I see no way in which working with largecell foundation first will make you more capable of dealing with smallcell.
I keep making the mistake that people have a bit of intelligence. I keep thinking they are able to read and figure the stuff out. After all I did it. And I ain't all that smart.
I wouldn't recommend starting with foundationless, or even starter strips, based on my past experiences.
The disclaimer is attached to the small cell add, but not the other (LC) foundation.
That would imply "experienced large cell beekeepers", would it not?
My bees survived on largecell foundation without treatment,
What I'm saying is that the "experienced beekeepers" disclaimer is easily eliminated from the equation once someone learns rule #1, bees do what THEY want.
How is a beekeeper to get experience with smallcell unless they 1.) try it, or 2.) ask questions of beekeepers who have?
Quote from: BenC on May 20, 2007, 01:09:06 PMMy bees survived on largecell foundation without treatment,So then why go thru all the effort to regress??
Looks like we will have to agree to disagree again. From my experience, I believe a first time beekeeper will have much better luck regressing bees with TBH than Langstroth's with SC foundation.

Lapakahi State Historical Park, Hawaii Island
Lapakahi State Historical Park
- Name: Lapakahi State Historical Park
- What: Historical park on the site of a 600-year old traditional fishing village
- Where: 12.4 miles north of Kawaihae Harbor
As you drive between the lava fields of the Kohala Coast and the lush surroundings of North Kohala make a stop at Lapakahi State Historical Park. Located 12.4 miles north of Kawaihae Harbor and Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site on Akoni Pule Highway (Highway 270), Lapakahi is a partially restored fishing settlement that dates back over 600 years. This rugged coastal park will give you a glimpse of what it was like to live like the Native Hawaiians of the past.
Take a one mile, self-guided tour of this 262-acre park and see restored hale (houses) and lava stone walls, then play traditional Hawaiian games and learn more about life in early Hawaii. The park's rocky shoreline also faces the Lapakahi Marine Life Conservation District although swimming is not encouraged. Because the Kohala Coast can get hot, the best time of day to visit is in the morning or later in the afternoon.

I pop in the live cd, BT3 loads up without much fuss...I run kismet and I don't see anything on there as I should be seeing wireless access points in the area.
I have a Belkin F5D8001 pci card. *flame/noob/bullet proof suit on*
I still haven't been able to figure this out.
Any leads? Suggestions?
BTW I got this problem fixed. I was rebooting into the live cd from a Windows restart. I'm assuming the reboot kept the wireless card active and it caused problems once backtrack started. So I shut the PC down completely and booted straight into backtrack and all was well.

This is not a bug. Post in the correct section, there are labels to help you.
I made a multi-boot USB pendrive with several live distributions, and I found a problem:
BT4 doesn't load properly, I supose that BT4 is mounting the squashfs from the Ubuntu distribution during the booting process. I think this because when BT4 finishes the boot process, it shows the motd for Ubuntu 9.10, also, during the booting process it hits some errors of missing libraries and it doesn't make the autologin...
Tech data:
sda MBR has Grub installed and chainloads other systems for preserving distro menus
sda2 has Ubuntu 9.10 Live with Syslinux installed in the partition
sda3 has Back Track 4 Final with Grub installed in the partition
I found a partial fix for the problem, if I rename the "casper" directory of the Ubuntu (sda2) to "casper_disabled", then I'm able to boot BT4 with no problem.
Any idea to avoid that problem?
This is not a bug. Post in the correct section, there are labels to help you.
Ok, I'm sorry.
But I'm still think that it is a bug:
Why BT should load a squashfs that it isn't located in the root partition?
The kernel and the initrd images are correctly loaded from the root partition of BT (sda3), I think that the problem is in the init scripts after the kernel is loaded. These scripts find the first partition that contains the "casper" directory, but why don't they use the root partition to do that?

If you decide on the wireless route; this will help explain some in the various
wireless frequencies used by security cameras and what their pros and cons can be.
There are don't need make use of where you can squeeze cables for each
of the cameras. The great news: there is certainly plenty you can do, and many types
of without spending a year at Cal – Tech or MIT learning the nitty gritty information regarding computer security
and configuration.
I do not have a very problem with the size of the digital
camera as it helps it be easier to regulate. Using a limited
quantity of setup, these cameras will be ready to go rapidly.

By Rob Kelly in Beijing
Arsène Wenger hopes his side have a "good battle" with Manchester City in Beijing on Friday.
Arsenal meet the Premier League champions at the Bird's Nest stadium, looking to build on Tuesday's 2-1 victory against a Malaysia XI.
Wenger was pleased with his side's display in that game, but is still hoping for an increase in tempo against Roberto Mancini's team.
"It is a big game," he said. "The intensity will be high again and hopefully we can last an hour [playing at a high pace] - that is the target.
"We want to have a good battle with Manchester City. We played the young players in Malaysia, they will play again certainly - some a little part - on Friday night but for now, we are preparing for the season.
"The players who play in the Premier League will play on Friday night."
Weather reports in Beijing suggest there will be torrential rain for the match, and Wenger hopes this does not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans at the Bird's Nest stadium.
"I hope the weather will be good - I do not care too much about the players, but about the fans when they are in the stands," he said.
"When it is raining, like it was in Hangzhou last year, you could feel that people suffered.
"It is an English game, in China, with passion. When Manchester City play Arsenal, there is always a lot of passion and we would like to share this passion with the supporters.
"Hopefully the pitch will be good, and the weather will be good for the fans."
Manchester City have also embarked on a tour of the Far East, and attended a gala dinner with members of the Arsenal squad on Wednesday.
Wenger is expected to field a strong side against Mancini's men, but hopes to learn something more about his younger players as well.
"[The tour] is a good opportunity for me to see how they behave on a daily basis," he said. "You can see how much they want to win in their attitude, how mentally they are prepared to win.
"Overall I can learn about their potential in these games - how they cope with the pace, the pressure. That is very interesting for me."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Reelfoot Lake Duck Report - Grassey Island Unit - Federal Refuge
Reelfoot Lake Duck Report & Water Level - 11/22/2008
Several thousand ducks (150,000 +/- are on the Grassey Island Unit of the Federal Refuge. Most of the water levels around 2 to 4 feet - lots of Lilly Pads & moss to feed in. Tri Bar - Home Basin - Goose Basin - Snaggy Basin- Buzzard Slough - - Devil's Race Track - Black Jack Pocket was full of Ducks this afternoon.
Open water blinds should do well on opening day, we have not had this many ducks on the Grassey Island Unit on opening day in a long time, low water in West Tennessee and along the Mississippi River Basin has helped. Water is the key as always when you duck hunt.
Mostly Gladwalls, Pintail, Teal and lots of Mallards located along the Bayou Du Chien from Brewer Bar, Burnt Woods, Simons Pocket, Buzzard Slough, Tri Bar Timber, Snaggy Towhead areas. Lower Blue Basin is full of Divers.
Other areas of the lake with lots of lilly pads have lots of ducks also -- including Grassy Bend & Forked Pond areas
Big Ronaldson area has a few thousand ducks also mostly Gladwalls & Teal very low water level in this area - need Go-Devils or Air Boats to get to these areas.
Opening day should by very good but we will have a low lake and lots of coot hunters as always. About 30% of the Duck Blinds do not have water around them. Lake could lock up very easy from ice if we get a hard cold front. Lake Level is 280.66' msl (mean sea level) this morning on USGS gauge at TWRA's office almost 2'feet low from pool level at the top of spillway gates.

©1987 Haruki Murakami; (P)2005 Naxos Audiobooks
"Murakami tells a subtle, charming, profound, and very sexy story of young love bound for tragedy." (Publishers Weekly)
"Wistful, magical, poetic, touching"
Like all of Murakimi's works this is a book you never want to put down. It's not so much the story itself, which is as wonderful and unexpected as always, but the pleasure of spending time in Murakami's world and being able to see through his eyes. He has an almost magical ability to make anything he describes fascinating, touching and deeply enlightening.
My only minor quibble was that although the reader was perfectly good the book would have deserved much better narration, with clearer dramatic personification of the individual characters. This really isn't a criticism of this reader, I've just been spoiled recently by truly superlative readers like Simon Prebble.
"Great for the long drives"
Just a very well written (spoken!) book. Easy to get into, has subtle depth and has a story and premise that I think everyone can relate to.
The relationship analysis that the main character describes and his whole journey. Almost like Catcher in the Rye.
I have never listened to John Chancer before but his voice acting made this thoroughly enjoyable, especially the voice of Midori.
Midori, she's so fun and spontaneous!
The funny thing is a lot of financially successful people I know loath this book and think it's a waste of time, I guess this book is for the dreamers out there.
"Wonderful book."
I saw the movie version last weekend and really liked it. Discussed it a lot with my regular cinema buddy. But I'm really glad I bought this audiobook. It's so much deeper. And what a great description of the late 60's in Japan.
And the way the protagonist uses senses to evoke memories, just amazing!
It's deeply felt, but not too sentimental.
I know I'm gushing, but this book really touched me.
Loved how each chapter had a musical interlude.
Highly recommended.
"narration is too far from satisfaction"
Even the pronunciation of protagonist's name is wrong. I doubt if the narrator really understands the text.
I have to write something about this book. I love this book. I read it in Chinese 20 years ago and Japanese 10 years ago, and now I heard through the wonderful English version. The narrator's voice is so soothing. Each scene arise so vividly. Can't ask for more.
"Beautifully written, awfully read"
A lovely book, modern and magical at the same time. However, the way the narrator mispronounces all the Japanese words drives me mad.
Never let me go
Doesn't pronounce any of the character's names correctly. Japanese has a very specific pronunciation for each letter - so this can't be argued.
"Not my favorite Murakami"
No I wouldn't really want to change anything, it is what it is.
I don't think it should be changed. There is nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't for me.
I don't think I have listened to any other of his performances.
"Perfect first time"
Beautifully read and wonderful story. Definitely holds one's attention. Will return to Murakami over and over and Chancer certainly did this one justice.
"The first novel I found something beyond."
Through this novel written by Haruki Murakami, I found myself liking reading novels in 15 years ago. Also this novel is the first audio book I bought 5 years ago and have enjoyed it since then.
The narrator's voice and reading habit is especially great for me to hear the novel through. 'So great' is what I wanna say about this novel, this author, and this narrator.
"This bird has flown ..."
Norwegian Wood is the second Murakami book I have enjoyed (the first being Kafka on the Shore). While I marginally preferred "Kafka" this one was well worth listening to. Both books intersperse relative normality with weirdness, tending to involve introspective characters, music and dreams, lust and romance, forests and cityscapes. When you need a break from thrillers, biographies, politics and comedy, Murakami's works provide a welcome change of landscape and pace. My advice, though, is to absorb his works slowly, with long intervals between, to avoid them cloying. The narrator, John Chancer, suits the book exactly.
"Start of something big?"
I'm not sure how I stumbled into Murakami - I think it was on the basis of a review or mention in the New Yorker magazine - and a quick look through the available titles on Audible. Having listened to Norwegian Wood I saw the recent BBC Imagine programme where the author refused to appear in person and his readers seemed strangely reluctant to break ranks and give their impressions of the books - other than to say they had established a personal relationship through reading and did not want to betray the 'trust' placed in them. Odd, odd, very odd. The website with its moody based doesn't seem to clear anything up - but it is the beauty and clarity of the prose that has captured me and seems to have entranced others around the world. Give it a try, get on board - you'll really enjoy the experience. The picture of Japan is bang up to date - it is the authentic voice of new Japan - the pictures of Kobe, Osaka and Tokyo similarly ring true. Other readers cite David Lynch - but the imagery is definitely Kar Wai Wong. The Japanese sensitivity may be breaking free of the corporate steam roller and we may see a new Chinese-wave - or he may just be a lone but powerful new voice.
"Peculiar but entertaining"
This is the second Marukami novel i have read, the first being The Wind-Up Bird which needless to say had me hooked, and sent me back to the beginnings of his work.
Norwegian Wood is a story of the coming of age of a college boy and his encounters with a variety of girls and women. The narrative was beautiful throughout but was interspersed with frequent sexualy explicit language or behaviour particulalry from the female characters which was unexpected and quite shocking but written in such a way as to be an obvious and open language and behaviour of persons of that age-group.
I did not enjoy this as much as The Wind Up Bird but am keen to continue reading Murakami as the prose is so expressive and distinctly surreal. I like his work very much
John Chancer is an excellent reader of Murakami, to the point that i can't imagine him read anybody's else work. The novel is moving, funny and surprising in equal measure. I did not want it to end.
"worth a download!"
There's something special about Murakami's books and this one is where it all started for me. I had read this beautiful story before and decided to try out the audiobook. I enjoyed it greatly even if the voices of the female characters sounded a bit awkward at times. Overall, a great book and a very good reader nonetheless.
"An enjoyable journey, but not the best destination"
Having got totally hooked by Kafka on the Shore I felt compelled to dive straight into another Murakami listen. I couldn?t say that I enjoyed Norwegian Wood as much as Kafka, however there is something incredibly appealing and enchanting about his style that still meant I enjoyed this. It's basically a coming of age book with the main character being likened to Holden Caulfield by some although I personally wouldn?t go that far. I didn?t feel there was so much depth to this story and whilst what I love about Murakami is the fact you really have no idea where his stories are going unfortunately when this one ended although I know I enjoyed the journey I was still not entirely sure where it had taken me. So much so that I actually started it all over again to see if there was something I missed at the beginning. Unfortunately not, but that hasn?t deterred me from moving straight on to The Wind-up Bird Chronicle which 4 hours in I?m already finding to be closer to the depth and quality of Kafka. I can?t remember the last time I was this addicted to an author. One word of warning though if you?re easily offended then Norwegian Wood in particular has quite a bit more sexual content than some of his other novels and whilst I personally don?t think he does it in a particularly vulgar way, it could be off putting to someone of a delicate persuasion.
"A beautifully sad conversation."
I found this book enthralling from the very start. It seems more personal than most novels and as I listened I felt as though I were listing to story of a lifelong friend whose past I had never known about rather than a character in a book.Surely this is the type of story telling that every writer aspires to.
"Awesome listen"
Awesome listen. Recommend this to all your friends. I enjoyed it very much. Great title. Good one for all users.
My first audio book I purchased from Audible and what a wonderful listen it was. The narration is excellent giving every character their own well-deserved persona. This is a book to get lost in on sunny afternoons, while running or taking a bike ride as I often did. I can't compare this to any other Murakami novel as it's my first but as a book in it's own right it is an extremely rewarding listen.
"A difficult and troubling book"
I struggled to sympathise with any of the characters and took a clear dislike to several of them. But the last phases of the book were really engrossing and showed a great insight into the troubled subject of suicide. I am glad I listened through. Excellently performed.
"First experience of Murakami"
It was a great book, enjoyed every chapter. Naration was clear and enjoyable. absolutely recommended.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have some news on my problem.
I think it may be fixed. I changed the wheel bearings on the right side. The outer bearing was shot. Not by much though. I did that yesterday and now I do not hear the tire wearing.
It remains to be seen if that did the trick or not, but with a little luck; it is done. Thanks for your help.
|how bout you take it to a frame shop and have them pull it back straight? I can't see how you wouldn't have bent your frame hitting a cinderblock! come on it's a chevy those things are bent from the factory!
I just mesured the front end. The right side a-arm is riding about a 1/2 inch above the left side. Also the right side measurements from front panel to tire is 3 1/2 inch from back panel to tire is 3 inch. The left side is the opposite. front to tire is 3 inch and back to tire is 3 1/2 inch.
How would you go about squareing it up? I guess I would need to get a new a-arm and weld a new frame member in to hold it right?
How bout I put it on a lift and take a sledge hammer and....! lol
just kiddin I would only do that to a ford. hehehe
I suspect you need to square the entire front end starting with the rear end. I have to assume the shop guy knows what he's doing and NEGTIVE CASTER is the problem. Ever try to steer a shopping cart with one wheel pointed in the wrong direction? The caster built in to the wheel is supossed to allow the wheel to turn where it's needed. Ever get a cart that has a death wobble? Same thing is happening on your car.
Is it sad that a shopping cart makes you forget something at the store because you thinking about steering geometry's?
Refresh my memory.. was '92 4th generation?
Has this car been in any accidents? Check the firewall for wrinkles you see on one side of the vheicle but not the other.
I had a 3rd generation Camaro that was pretty rough.. Eventually the tie rod fell off one day when I was about to leave for class. Naturally, when this happenned I replaced the tie rod and had it aligned. (As a side note, it was at K-mart and they charged me for a new tie rod even though I provided one, and when I noticed this and went back I had to make them get the new one I had provided out of the dumpster.)
At any rate, when I drove it home the car was seriously dog tracking (the car travelling a different direction than it was pointing.) I measured diagonally and got different measurements (left front wheel to right rear vs. right front to left rear). So it was obvious that typical alignment techniques wouldn't quite work right (setting the two front wheels parallel with eachother) and I just fudged it on my own. (got the front wheels parallel with the rear wheels)
Alright. Idid not do anything in particular to the bird today. I did however, put the alignment back to the way it was after I got it done. I noticed my left side balljoint was slanted, but my right side was parrallel with the road. I kicked that to the inside of the car to give it a slant like the left side.
Then the road test! At first it seemed fine, but then still vibrating noise from when you turn left, then a few turns and bumps later, the vibraqting noise happens when turning right. I mean, it does it going straight, but know when I turn right it gets worse and goes away when I turn left. ???????? I am a little puzzled. I was starting to think it was the springs. Then I thought maybe the spindle is not on the ball joint correctly, then I thought, it might be the ball joint; but the ball joint is new! What do you think?
You may have a bent spindle or even strut. I hate to say it, but I wouldn't have a whole lot of confidence in the people that you have taken it to. Most of the newer alignment machines will do most of the work for you, if you know what you are doing. The problem is, many times there are people that are doing alignments that only know how to operate the machines, not how steering/suspensions work.
They should have given you a print out of the alignment specs. If they are in color, the readings that are within specs will be GREEN. The readings that are out, are in RED. If I remember right, they also show "SAI". If that is not normal, it will tell you that you have a bent strut or spindle.
Thanks for your post johnson,
when I make a sharp left the tire squeels and feels like hell.
The tires I had eaten away were worn on the outside and inside of the tire. The center was hardly worn.
I thought maybe it might be the fram as well. I had a nova that I had jumped a rock by accident,( acident my a**) I wore away tires like crazy on that thing, but only on the right side.
Funny thing is, befor I hit the cider block, ( It was early, dark out, the thing looked like a orange cone, there was someone in the other lane- could not swerve) the firebird didn't wear tires, sure it pulled to the right more than I wanted, but it was not that bad.
I checked the wheel bearings like that. it has a 1/16 to 1/8 inch play. Very tiny. I figured this was normal.
The shop guy said that I had too much negative camber and my castor was a little negative too.
I will have my frame checked before I go and put new spindles on it, thanks.
I didn't think caster was adjustable on F-body cars? Camber is with the loosening of the three bolts on the shock tower brace under the hood but they will only slide side to side. nless you have installed adjustable plates. The alignment guy should have checked for worn wheel bearings before the service. For it's the number one reason for crappy alignment's. Even if the machine was off calibration they are normally serviced around every two weeks here.
To check wheel bearings, jack car up with a floor jack pad placed under the front K member so the suspension is free hanging. Grab top of tire and bottom of tire and wiggle hard. If any play is noticed, then the wheel bearings are shot. IF they wiggle you may also have bad lower ball joints. Have a buddy check for slack while you wiggle the tires.
I was noticing you were referring to caster, camber as the same thing. Just for clarification caster is the angle of the king pin in relation to the vertical plane while camber is the angle of the center line of the tire in relation to the horizontal plane. Caster tilts the tire back and forth while camber points the tires side to side.
The left hand turn noise tells me the tire is gaining camber(Ackerman) and rolling around the corner on the outside of the tire. Will the noise go away if you turn a fast lazy left? This get's the car to roll onto the right side and the tire should deflect enough to correct the problem causing the noise to disappear.
Play in the steering wheel indicates slack or to much toe out. When you said the tires worn out fast where were they worn?The inside wear pattern indicates they were scrubbing the road with toe out and outside where indicates the tires were scrubbing the road with toe in.
The settings are not possible to see with the eye, the settings are in degree's of 360. Sometimes even as little as 1/4 of a degree will make a difference.
My advice would be to look for bent front sub frame or torsional twist. T he alignment guy should be able to rig up the lasers and tell you how square the car is. Most unibody cars of that age are tweaked to dog walk by leading the left rear tire by 1/16. I wouldn't worry about anything over 1/8.
Oh by the way, Did you NOT see the cinder block!!? LOL
(I just thought of something, If the tire had to much negitive caster, meaning the top of the tire was leaning forward that would indicate something is really bent. Cars always use positive caster so the king pins push the tire along. It's also responsible for giving you the "on center feel" and it returns the wheel to center when you let go of the wheel after negotiating a turn.)
cant figure it out? wheel bearings? bent A-arm? bent spindle?
Helo, I have read thru this forum and have done searches, but to no avail. My question was not in there.
I have a 92 firebird convertable I am restoring. It is not a classic, but in due time will be. It is my daily driver as well. A few months back I hit a cinder block with my passenger side front going about 35 mph. I blew my tire and had anew one installed along with an alignment. The shop said it need a idler arm and a lower ball joint on the right side. They gave me a price of &350 to $400. I figured that it only costs $249 to $300 for a whole new front end. ( idler arm, tie rod ends, sleeves, center link,2 ball joints, sway bar linkage, a-arm bushings) moog parts
I replaced all this myself, and I tell you what, those damn springs were terrible!!!!!!!! I had the bushings and ball joints pressed in by my local machine shop. I also put in new struts as weel. Once I got it all installed, the steering was perfect.
I did take it to get an alignment done, just to make sur. When I left the alignment shop the steering was attrocious. A lot of play in the steering wheel and the camber was turned so much in that it was making a vibrating noise on each tire. I deduced the tires were being eaten away.
I decided to try and get it back to the way it was befor I took it to the shop. It took me 2 months and I got so frustrated and had eaten two tire, I recently had it aligned by a different guy last week.
Now my problem is on the right side still. After I left the shop the right side was vibrating again. I went back and asked him about it and he said that he spent alot of time getting it right. the caster and camber had too much negative to it. He said if I leave it with him he will take a deeper look.
I am too busy for that so I took the right side toe in 2 full turns. It took the noise away, except when turning left, even a little. THen the pull to the right got worse, so I marked the castor and camber and took it all the way to the negative. I still have that noise when going left so I took the 2 turns on the sleeve back to 1 turn.
I am starting to think it might be my wheel bearings. I have no clue, because the wheel does not move in and out more than 1/8 inch when trying to wiggle the tire.
I did notice that my sway bar linkage was not even on both sides so I tightened the right side some more to make it even.
If anyone has any insight to my problem, I would appreciate it greatly.
