Tina Ferraro believes in the adage that it is never too late to have a happy childhood. She, in fact, had a very happy one, living in Westchester County, New York, with her parents, her brother, and several cats. She was an avid bookworm, earned a shelf full of medals for competitive swimming, and would sometimes play Barbies for days on end. It was her teen years that she feels she failed to make the most of–probably because she was too busy daydreaming of the exciting life she wished she had.
All these years later, as a wife of two decades and a mother of three teens, she is giving herself that happy teenage experience by writing stories about girls who not only dream big–but make their dreams come true.
Tina started writing at the age of seven, and sold her first short story following college. Over the next several years, while working as an office manager at a university, she wrote and sold about fifty more stories. She still laughs when she recalls how her boss came to tell her she'd won a special performance award, and how she had to stand in front of the computer screen to keep him from seeing a short story draft. While she felt like an imposter, she did, however, accept the award and cash the check with a guilty smile.
During those same years, she met and married a graduate student whose allure included gourmet cooking and the fact he understood geometry–two disciplines she has still yet to grasp. With three babies arriving in five years, it seemed a great time for Tina to stay home and "get serious" about the full-length books she wanted to write. But her children had other ideas, and it took several years until she found the quiet time and concentration to complete a novel that would get the attention of an agent and editor.
After seeing a nonfiction book about uses for a bridesmaid dress, she idly wondered if a story had ever been written about reusing a prom dress . . . and from that, her first published YA novel was born, Top Ten Uses for an Unworn Prom Dress. Within months, she accepted an offer from Delacorte Press.
Soon she was struck with another idea about a girl who promotes herself at school as an expert at hooking up people with their secret crushes–although neither the girl (nor Tina) had the slightest idea of how to pull that off. How to Hook a Hottie is newly available from Delacorte Press. Tina's physicist husband helped her create the very "scientific" Hexagon for Hooking Hotties, and while she denies any responsibility for its credibility, the teen who still lives in Tina likes to think it's both valid and fun.
Next for Tina is a book about a girl who didn't make varsity soccer with her teammates, and comes up with a crazy-but-just-might-work scheme to get promoted that involves learning everything she can about the art of kissing. Called The ABCs of Kissing Boys, it will be released by Delacorte Press in the spring of 2009.
Some of Tina's favorite things include reading, drinking lattes, hanging with her family, watching the TV show Lost, and chatting with her readers through her Web site, www.tinaferraro.com.

Q&A: Johnson stealing his way to Show
White Sox prospect dishes on running, painting, football
By John Parker / MiLB.com | January 28, 2014 10:00 AM ET
A ninth-round pick out of Indiana University in 2012, White Sox prospect Micah Johnson burst into the national consciousness in 2013 by dominating the South Atlantic League in the spring and finishing the season with a Minor League-leading 84 stolen bases (in 110 attempts).
Johnson hit a respectable .273/.375/.391 with four homers and 19 steals in his pro debut with Great Falls in 2012 before opening his full-season career with Class A Kannapolis last year. The second baseman was hot off the blocks in the Sally League, batting .342/.422/.530 with six homers, 42 RBIs, 40 walks and 61 stolen bases in 77 games with the Intimidators. He went on to earn MVP honors at the circuit's All-Star Game in June after singling, stealing two bags and scoring a run in the North Division's 2-1 win.
The Indianapolis native, who turned 24 in December, was less effective after promotions to Class A Advanced Winston-Salem and Double-A Birmingham but regained his swagger in the Southern League playoffs. Johnson hit .368/.467/.474 with seven stolen bases and 12 runs scored in 10 postseason games as the Barons won their first league title since 2002.
Johnson's Arizona Fall League campaign was cut short in October when he underwent surgery on his elbow. Fully recovered, he heads into Spring Training as MLB.com's No. 9 second base prospect.
MiLB.com: First of all, how's your elbow? You've had surgery twice now to move a nerve -- is that something that's likely to be a continuing problem?
Micah Johnson: It's all taken care of. The first time it wasn't done quite right, but I've been out in Arizona hitting for a couple weeks now and I'm 100 percent.
MiLB.com: You were out there briefly in October before undergoing the surgery -- what was playing in the Arizona Fall League like?
Johnson: It was a lot of fun. The crowds weren't very big, but it was great being out there with some of the best players in the game. I was concentrating on my defense, taking grounders every morning with our infield coach, and I was really getting in a groove and feeling confident before I had to stop.
MiLB.com: I understand that this offseason you've been playing fewer video games and instead playing piano and painting. How does that tie in to baseball?
Johnson: My issue isn't that I'm unathletic, but that I sometimes lose focus, especially on defense, and then I make an error. You know, if it's late in a doubleheader and we've got a big lead, I need to concentrate just as much as ever.
Playing piano and painting -- watercoloring is what I'm really into -- helps hone my focus. I can do that stuff for hours and the time just flies by. When you're painting, every choice you make affects the end result, so every detail is important.
MiLB.com: When you do play video games, what do you play?
Johnson: FIFA. I've got skills. Plus I'm a big soccer fan.
MiLB.com: What teams do you follow?
Johnson: I used to be into Aston Villa, then I followed Tottenham when [American] Clint Dempsey was there, but really I just like following the whole thing.
MiLB.com: You didn't really steal that many bases in college or even your first season as a pro with Great Falls. Are you a better base stealer now or is it more that you've gotten a green light?
Johnson: I think it's a little bit of both, but mainly it's just something I focused on this year. When I was at Indiana, I was happy getting a single or a double. But seeing what Billy Hamilton did [in 2012] really inspired me, seeing how many runs he created and the havoc he caused. I'm not the kind of guy who's going to hit a lot of home runs, so I needed to learn to use my speed better if I wanted to get to the big leagues.
MiLB.com: What are you looking for -- in a righty or a lefty -- when you're trying to get a jump?
Johnson: It depends on the pitcher. Some lift their front foot, some slide-step, some lean back or drop their shoulder. I study pitchers from the dugout to see if I can pick anything up about their moves. With lefties it's a little tougher -- going on first movement is sometimes just a risk you have to accept.
MiLB.com: You played in three different leagues last season, even before the Arizona Fall League. What were the big differences as you moved up?
Johnson: In "low A," it's actually harder to steal off the pitcher. Less experienced pitchers really worry about base runners. At higher levels, the guys hitting behind me were better and the pitchers had to worry more about them than me. Of course the catchers are better, too, but it's a little easier to get a jump on the pitcher.
From a batting standpoint, obviously the pitchers have better command the higher you go. It seems like they all have cutters, too.
MiLB.com: Do you have any particular goals for the upcoming season, like getting to 100 stolen bases?
Johnson: Stealing bases is fun, but scoring runs is what counts -- there's no point to stealing 100 if you only score 50 times. Scoring over 100 runs is a good goal.
MiLB.com: You ran track in high school -- even though I've heard you hated running. Did you play any other sports?
Johnson: I played soccer one year. And I learned that football was not for me. You know, it's cold and people are trying to hit you all the time. If you hit me and give me a charley horse, I don't want to play anymore.
MiLB.com: What was your team when you were a kid? Growing up in Indiana, I guess you could have gone several different ways.
Johnson: (Heavy sigh.) I was a big Cubs fan. And a huge Sammy Sosa fan. But since the White Sox drafted me, I'm not a Cubs fan anymore.
MiLB.com: And finally -- your Super Bowl pick?
Johnson: I have to go with Seattle. They've got the great defense, they've got Marshawn [Lynch] in the snow -- I don't see how they can be stopped. Peyton is throwing ducks these days and I don't think that's going to cut it in the wind. Seahawks to win -- and cover!

created 2002 · complexity basic · author David Thompson · version 5.7
One of my favorite macros that I use in vim (and vi) inserts a #if 0 #endif sandwich around a block of code. I always map this to the 2 key sequence ;' which is the semi-colon followed by the single quote. Look at your keyboard, you will notice these keys are adjacent to one another. I like this mapping because it's very fast, my fingers easily roll from one key to the next, obviously YMMV.
To use this mapping, go to the line of code that you want the '#if 0' to be on, type
ma to mark this line with the marker a, then move to the line that should be last line just above the '#endif' and press ;'
" insert #if 0 - #endif around block of code map ;' mz'aO<Esc>i#if 0<Esc>'zo<Esc>i#endif<Esc>
You could also modify this just a bit and make it a vmap, that way you wouldn't need to mark the beginning of the line set (though not vi compatible).
vmap ;' '<O<Esc>i#if 0<Esc>'>o<Esc>i#endif<Esc>
What about removing '#if 0...'? It should be easy to do.
I like to do this with a range argument as well - "3;'" in your case.
However, you get all this with various schemes for commenting/uncommenting code...
I tweaked it a bit by using 0<C-D> (instead of <Esc>i) and made a version for Perl by replacing '#if 0' with '=pod' and '#endif' with '=cut'.

WATCH: Kesha performs 'Free Fallin' cover at Petty Fest
Listen to Kesha on iHeartRadio
Kesha is making one kind of remarkable recovery. During her first post-rehab performance at Petty Fest on Thursday (April 3), the once troubled singer performed a cover of Tom Petty's hit "Free Fallin.'"
Her voice is as sharp as ever, and even though the entire crowd was singing along, she soared and dipped over the song's ironic lyrics. The 27-year-old is turning over a new leaf, no longer trapped by the machinations of the music industry.
"She's a good girl. She loves her momma," she coos on the first verse. In reality, it was her mom who came to her defense when the singer first landed in rehab, taking out her anger on pop producer Dr. Luke and blaming him for her daughter's struggles. "Dr. Luke told a friend of ours he thought she looked like a refrigerator on her latest video, and could she please try to control her weight," Pebe Sebert had blasted in January in an interview with People. "After she went on a 14-day juice cleanse, he said, 'Thank God you finally got rid of the weight! We've all been talking about it!' So she felt like she couldn't trust anyone."
But that is a thing of the past now. Kesha looks healthier than she has in a very, very long time. Good for her, and here's to a bright future!
As previously reported, the "Die Young" performer is already hard at work on new music, enlisting the likes of Zedd for her Warrior followup. Known for his own chart-topping solo work, he's also collaborated with Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber (co-producing "Beauty And The Beat" with Max Martin).
Check out Kesha's performance:

Like so many Sunday mornings before, Dec. 7, 1941, was quiet and relaxing at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
Chief Boilerman Jack Petitt, then 23, had just finished eating when an announcement was sounded signaling an attack.
He was aboard the USS Dale, a destroyer moored with four other naval destroyers.
Little did the crew of the Dale know that they would be involved in a historic battle that would mark the start of U.S. involvement in World War II and change the course of history.
"Most of the crew were asleep when the gong sounded," Petitt said from his Long Beach home on Friday at almost the exact time the American fleet was attacked in Pearl Harbor that fateful morning 71 years ago. The attacked started at 7:50 a.m. Hawaiian time.
Petitt, 95, said he raced to his station and saw what was the start of a battle that devastated the U.S. Navy.
"I saw a plane with yellow wings and tail with a big red circle, and the USS Utah was capsizing. That plane had put a torpedo and bomb into her. It was 50 to 100 yards away from us," Petitt recalled.
He said he ran below to wake up his comrades, yelling to them, "They're bombing the hell out of us. They're attacking us."
Petitt said "they looked at me like I was crazy."
At 8:10 a.m., the Dale opened fire on Japanese planes using its .50-caliber machine guns and 5-inch anti-aircraft guns. A few minutes later, Petitt said, the Dale was ready to get under way when he saw a scary sight.
"Two streaks headed right toward us," he said. "They were torpedoes, but luckily they went underneath us."
The Dale got underway and headed out of the harbor at 25 knots. Near the entrance to the harbor, where the Japanese apparently wanted to sink a ship to block the harbor, the Dale came under "severe dive bombing and machine gun attacks near the entrance. Machine gun fire from the ship served to keep the attackers from approaching too closely, although there were several close misses, which caused no damage," the Navy said.
As a flight of three enemy dive bombers went by the starboard side of the Dale close to the water, machine gun fire from the Dale struck the leading plane, which crashed into the water.
"We knocked down one of the first enemy planes," Petitt said proudly.
There were no casualties on board the Dale.
The Navy said the conduct of the crew was excellent. "After the first feeling of numbed shock and disbelief that we were being attacked, a cold rage swept over the crew," a Navy report said. "There was absolutely no panic or confusion."
"We finally got out of the harbor and went looking for enemy submarines," Petitt said. "We returned to the harbor the next day. There were battleships on fire and destruction all over. It was awful. You could hear a pin drop it was so quiet."
Petitt was born in Ontario on Nov. 8, 1918. His parents apparently couldn't agree on a name, so he was just called Baby Boy Petitt.
"But then my mother called me Cecil," he said. "I just hated that name and still do. I got into so many fights in school over that name."
When he enlisted in the Navy in 1937, Petitt said he finally got to change his name. "When the Navy recruiter asked me my name, I said it was Jack, and that's what it's always been since," he said.
Petitt spent 20 years in the Navy, serving on eight different ships and retiring in 1957.
He met the love of his life, Gloria Rose, while dancing in 1943. "She loved to dance," Petitt said. "We danced to everything."
In 1948 Jack and Gloria got married and raised three great children. Gloria died last year after 63 years of marriage to Jack.
"There will never be another like her," he said.
After leaving the Navy, Petitt worked as a handyman in several places in the Long Beach area, including boiler work at the Veterans Hospital at Seventh Street and Bellflower Boulevard.
Jack's children all live in the Long Beach area. Jack Jr. is a retired welder from Douglas Aircraft. Daughter Diane is a nurse at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, and Gerard, the youngest, is a retired plumber.
The entire time he served in World War II Petitt said he never worried about being a casualty.
Did he think he was invincible?
"No," he replied. "I just always figured that once a torpedo hit one of our tin cans (the sailor's affectionate name for a destroyer), it would be adios, amigo and you'd be gone. There wouldn't be time to worry."
Petitt has gone to reunions of Pearl Harbor survivors, but the number continues to dwindle.
"At our Club 14 reunions we used to have as many as 125 survivors, now we have three or four," he said.
But Petitt, who is in good health, remains optimistic that he has a lot of good years left.
He is a true survivor.

text: Hello everyone! Lovely weather we're having here in Cardiff! I've been adding some hemp and wooden beads to my silver pendants so I can wear them around this summer and show them off to friends and others. I wanted to post some photos of the pendants in the macramed bracelets/anklets, as a "serving suggestion" on each model page to show how they can be adapted fairly cheaply for summer (the number of wooden beads and length of hemp cord used cost me less than £1.60 altogether, thats about $2-$3). I'm also thinking about writing up a tutorial so others can make this same style. But anyway, on to the matter at hand! I played around with levels and curves and ended up with a clear original version and three different vintage looking versions of two different pendants. Which style do you think would be best for me to use on the model pages? (and for featuring elsewhere... hint hint! Haha ) Black cord has Square Eight Petal Floating pendant: http://www.shapeways.com/model/503407/ White cord has Square Eight Petal Supported pendant: http://www.shapeways.com/model/503406/

George from IN writes:
Something has caused our desktop computer to stop "reading" jump drives inserted into the two frontal USB drives. It isn't a problem with the jump drives themselves, because they function fine in a different computer. Is it likely that the problem is anything other than physical damage to the USB drives?
Hi, George.
I'm a little confused by your question. At the end when you said "physical damage to the USB DRIVES" did you actually mean "physical damage to the USB PORT"? I ask this because your jump drives ARE your USB drives.
At a guess, I would say that there are two possibilities. There would have been three, but you're already well on your way to troubleshooting this by checking the jump drives themselves. If they're working, as they seem to be, then you've eliminated that problem.
My next guess would be that your USB ports have failed. I don't know how old your computer is, but this happens with time. The way to troubleshoot the ports is to try plugging another USB device into each of the ports. Something simple like a USB-powered light would be best, because that gives you immediate feedback. Plug it in, give it thirty seconds or so for the computer to recognize it, and see if turns on. If the light works in both ports, then I'd say that it's time to take your machine and your jump drives into your friendly neighborhood computer repair center and let them have a go at it. If your computer doesn't recognize it, or the light won't come on, then you've probably got a failed USB port. If the light works in one, but not the other, then plug your jump drive into the one that the light worked in, and see if it works.
Once you've determined that it's your USB port, the next thing that you have to do is determine if it's a hardware failure or a software problem, which would probably just be some kind of junk (that's a technical term) in the driver for the USB port.
The first step in troubleshooting this is to open your device manager. There is a way to do this through the control panel, but for my money, it's much easier just to open it through the search. The way to do this is to click Start then, in the search box, start entering "device manager" without the quotation marks. It will probably populate before you even have "device" entered.
Click on Device Manager, and that will open the manager for you. At or near the bottom, you should have an entry that says "Universal Serial Bus controllers". Click on the arrow to the left of this to expand your USB devices.
What you're looking for are your USB hubs. Count the number of entries here and see if they match up to the number of USB ports on your computer. In the example, I know that I have four USB ports on my computer, so there's no hardware failure on my machine. If you have four USB ports, but only two are showing up in your device manager, then two have failed. If the USB ports are not hardwired into your motherboard, and you're comfortable doing it, then just open your machine and reseat the USB port cord onto your mother board. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE OPENING YOUR MACHINE AND DOING THIS, THEN HAVE A PROFESSIONAL DO IT. When I was doing computer repair, a lot of hardware errors were attributable to people messing around with the hardware who didn't know what they were doing. You can do a lot of damage here fairly easily. If reseating them doesn't work, replace them.
If they show up in your device manager, but still don't function, it could still be a hardware problem. The USB port will still register correctly, but the surface inside the port may have become damaged, rendering it impossible to read the devices.
The final option, if they are showing up in your device manager but not functioning, is that the driver may have become corrupted. The best way to take care of this is to uninstall and reinstall the driver. The way to do that is to right-click on all of your USB controllers and then click "uninstall".
Once you've done that, reboot your computer so that it can install new driver software software. Vista and 7 will do this automatically, while XP will require you to follow a series of on-screen prompts.
Hope that this helps.

Opera at USC to perform 'The Light In The Piazza'
The University of South Carolina's Opera at USC will perform Adam Guettel's "The Light In The Piazza" Friday and Sunday, Nov. 6 and 8, in Drayton Hall.
Directed by Ellen Douglas Schlaefer, the performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Sunday.
Single-ticket prices are as follows: adults, $18; seniors, faculty, staff and military, $15; students, $5.
The musical takes place in Italy in the summer of 1953. Margaret Johnson, the wife of an American businessman, is touring the Tuscan countryside with her daughter, the beautiful but surprisingly childish Clara. While sightseeing, Clara loses her hat in a sudden gust, which magically carries the hat to the feet of Fabrizio Naccarelli, a handsome Florentine who returns it to Clara. The brief encounter sparks an immediate and intense romance, which the protective Margaret tries to thwart. As the drama unfolds, a secret about Clara is revealed, and Margaret faces a choice that could affect the future of them both.
Dr. Tina Milhorn Stallard, assistant professor of voice, will play the role of Margaret Johnson. Senior music majors Denise Boylan and John Callison will play Clara and Fabrizio, respectively. Graduate students Peter Barton and Jing Quitain will play Fabrizio's parents; Michael LaRoche will play the womanizing brother, Guiseppe; and Stephanie Beinlich will play the long suffering Franca, Guiseppe's sexy and passionate wife. The ensemble also includes Columbia theater veterans Stann Gwynn and Rusty Sox.
Neil Casey will conduct the USC Opera Orchestra, with musical preparation by Dr. Lynn Kompass, assistant professor of voice.
Winner of the 2005 Tony Award for Best Original Score and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music, 'The Light In The Piazza' offers a unique blend of musical theater and opera.
"The story unfolds in both Italian and English," said director Schlaefer. "There are no subtitles, as per design of the composer. Guettel's music is lyrical, theatrical and is fast becoming a favorite of music schools throughout the country. I believe Opera at USC is only the third or fourth university program to present "The Light In The Piazza," and I am delighted that this is one of the first productions in South Carolina."
For more information on "The Light In The Piazza" and the 2009-10 season, contact Schlaefer at 803-777-0058.

Dr. James Loewen is a sociologist, historian, and the author of several books, including Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong and Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism. The latter describes how, beginning with Reconstruction, thousands of communities kept out African-Americans or other groups by force, law, or custom. These communities are called "sundown towns" because some posted signs at their city limits warning African-Americans to leave before sundown. Dr. Loewen will discuss the often chilling stories of these towns and why many still exist today in Michigan and other states.

There is a wonderfully popular Radio programme on BBC Radio 4 titled,
"Desert Island Discs"
Celebrities, or people of note have to pick 6 pieces of music they would most like to take onto a desert Island with them, if stranded.
They must also explain why, and obviously, how these pieces of music are important to them, and the reasons they want to take it with them....
Then if they could only take one, which one would that be?
They then have to pick one book (apart from the Bible and the complete Works of Shakespeare - they're already supplied)) to read, and again, what it means to them.
Obviously, we do not consider the Bible a book of any primary significance to us, so we would have to substitute our personal Buddhist tome of supreme significance perhaps.... supplied and vailable.
Finally, an Item of luxury.
Something they simply couldn't do without.
Would they try to escape?
Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto in C Major.
It reminds me of what a wonderful pianist my father was. Trained to concert level, he could make me cry playing this.....
Ringo Star - you're 16, (you're beautiful and you're mine.)
The very first record, my very first B/F ever played for me. He'd sing it at the top of his voice going round the park, with his arm around me.
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - Come up and see me (make me smile)
My friends played this at my 18th Birthday party, and danced in a circle around me. It was very heartwarming.
A summer Place (Theme from the movie of the same name)
This reminds me of blissful summers my family would spend in Italy, on the Med coast, at a resort caled 'Moneglia'. It was a wonderful time.
Do you know how wonderful you are (Gordon Haskell)
My partner, Nick, played this to me one day, at a time when I was feeling particularly hard done by, and put upon....
Faure's requiem.
I sang this as lead soprano with my father directing the choir, at a recording at St Margaret's Catholic Church, Twickenham, in 1987. An Amateur choir to be sure, but we won the contest!! It's a beautiful piece of work. (The piece below is "Agnus Dei" but the whole work is just so thrilling!)
It's a toss-up between The Book Thief and The time Traveller's Wife.
Probably the former, to remind me of mortality and Human Nature.
A really good, large, strong, perpetually sharp knife.

Would I try to escape?
But I might try to attract attention after a while.
OK - Your go!!

DIY: Water Pump, Thermostat, Hoses & Coolant Flush : X5 3.0 Auto
Cooling System DIY
Note: In this DIY I will be replacing the upper and lower hoses, thermostat, water pump and the aux fan o ring on a 2006 BMW X5 3.0 (M54) Automatic. I did not replace or disconnect the heater hoses. I will also "flush" coolant from the radiator and engine block as much as possible.
Note: This is a pretty straight forward DIY and one of the easier but involved ones. I would suggest reading through this before getting started. This might seem long-winded but that doesn't mean this job is long. I wrote as much detail as I could for your benefit.
Start by gathering all parts and tools. I used:
8mm socket
8mm box wrench/spanner
8mm/#8 Allen key
10mm socket
13mm socket
32mm box wrench/spanner
Needle nose pliers
Large scissors (sheet metal shears)
Long flat-bladed screw driver
Rubber mallet
Catch pans
White lithium grease (optional)
Not pictured below is a gallon of distilled water which you will need to mix the coolant with.
First thing first is you don't need to use ramps for this project as there is already significant clearance under the vehicle.
Remove the air intake duct from the center. Use a plier to remove the 4 pop rivets and set the intake aside. Pull the center pin up and out then remove the rivets.
Next disconnect the electrical connector on the passenger side of the radiator and set it aside by unhooking the larger connector from the fan shroud.
Next remove the 3 pop rivets holding the fan shroud to the radiator.
With the shroud loose, grab your 32mm wrench and secure it to the fan clutch nut. Center it and using something solid like a breaker bar or a large torque wrench strike it (with a motion from left to right) as hard as you can. A couple times and you should feel the nut loosen. There won't be as much resistance when turning it.
Continue to turn the nut loose until you feel the fan drop off the threads. Grabbing both the fan and shroud, wiggle it out of the engine bay, set it aside. Set the fan upright.
With that removed, next remove the plastic under tray. You will need a 10mm socket and an 8mm socket. With all screws removed set it aside leave it on the floor and push it towards the rear of the car.
Now look on the driver underside of the radiator locate the blue drain plug.
Put a tray or pan of some sort underneath to catch the coolant.
Turn the ignition on and set the temperature to 90f on the lowest fan setting. This will get the coolant flowing through the heater core to circulate and come out as well.
Back under the car, start to back the radiator drain plug out. After a steady stream is under way, remove the coolant fill cap from the expansion tank and then the bleed screw and set those aside. Coolant should now be gushing out. I will not be removing the engine block drain plug because it is at the same level as the water pump and therefore when I remove the water pump any coolant that would have come out via the block drain plug, will.
Clip the zip tie holding the wiring harness to the thermostat end of the upper hose.
Next task is to get the drive belt off of the water pump pulley. At this point, take a picture or draw the belt routing scheme if you can't remember it. You will want to pop the dust cover off the tensioner.
This bolt, from what I have read, can vary. It can either be a standard bolt head or something like this that requires an Allen wrench.
The wrench I used is a #8.
I also attached a pipe I had for some more leverage. Turn counter clockwise.
Once you see the belts slacken, pull them off and set it aside. It will still be behind the AC belt but that's ok, we don't need to remove it completely.
With most of the coolant out of the radiator and expansion tank, you can turn the car off now then start removing the hoses. I started with the upper hose at the radiator. First pull the clip up using a plier and I also removed the clip entirely by pulling on one side and bending/stretching it a bit.
Do this for the upper hose at the radiator and the smaller one at the expansion tank.
Then use a screw driver to pry or twist away the hose from the neck of the radiator.
Get creative but don't use excessive force as damaging the plastic neck of the radiator could suck. I wiggled the plastic bit that has the embossed 'KALT' mark on it off the expansion tank to give myself some more room to work.
With the top out, unplug the wiring harness at the thermostat and repeat the process for the upper hose at the thermostat and set the upper hose aside.
Move onto the lower hose and repeat the same process for removing it from the thermostat end but leave the lower hose attached to the radiator and leave the aux fan switch in place.
Next disconnect the auxiliary fan switch wiring harness. This is similar to the harness on the thermostat where you push/squeeze the clip in and pull the harness up to release it. Set it aside.
At this point I decided to not disconnect the lower portion of the hose because as I was fiddling with this hose I saw more coolant coming out of the drain as I squeezed or put air into the hose so I was going to use the lower hose to flush the radiator.
Move onto removing the pulley from the water pump. I used a 10mm socket and box wrench. I put the box wrench on one of the nuts and chocked it against the nearest solid part of the engine. I then used the ratchet to loosen the other 3 bolts. Then I held the pulley and loosened the last bolt. They weren't on very tight. I then had to take a rubber mallet to the pulley and gently tapped it all around to loosen it from the pump. It fell off.
Inspect the pulley for cracks of any sort as this is a known weak point. Replace if you feel it's necessary.
With the pulley off you can either work on removing the water pump or the thermostat as there is lots of room. This requires a 10mm socket but 1 bolt on the thermostat is a 13mm. I found that the water pump was somewhat sealed to the block and a gentle nudge with a rubber mallet did the trick. Place your catch can under the area as lots of coolant will pour out.
Now time for the flushing.
I then took my garden hose to the lower radiator hose and let it run until the fluid coming out of the radiator drain was clear and not the blue-green color. Naturally, move your catch can back under the radiator drain. I also chose to put the hose into the thermostat opening as this circulates through the block and will pour out via the water pump so have something ready to catch that. Repeat the process putting the hose into the expansion tank. It will also empty out via the water pump by way of the heater core hoses. I used a small rag and wrapped it around the expansion tank and thermostat opening to minimize water spray to the rest of the engine bay.
Not many pictures here because I was working solo and didn't want to get my phone wet.
After I got done flushing i removed the aux fan switch that's in the lower hose. This is done by squeezing the clips on the side and pulling up.
Then I removed the lower hose. This one was a real PITA for some reason. Lots of cussing and I took a break. Then came back like the incredible hulk and just started breaking the hose ends off using a screw driver. Eventually I exerted enough force so the top of the hose exposed the lip of the radiator neck and I was able to slip the tip of the screwdriver at the top center position and then by twisting it popped off just like I did for the upper hose. Remaining on the neck of the radiator was the o-ring and an inner collar that belonged to the hose. Check for these as when I tried to re-install the lower hose, I pulled and banged on it until I realized the collar was still on the radiator neck.
From here on out its smooth sailing and reassembling is straight forward. Note that for all connections and o-rings i put a light coating of white lithium grease to aid in sealing.
I first put the water pump in then the thermostat. There are torque values as to how tight these should be but I believe they are low and judging from how loose they were I simply tightened them enough that I didn't have to use a large amount of force.
Next put the pulley on the water pump. Again these don't require a terrible amount of force so I held the pulley in one hand and tightened the bolts using my socket wrench exerting the same amount of force I used on the thermostat and water pump.
Slip the belt back on. I found the best way to do this is to snake it back on all the pulleys except for the alternator. Then release the tension on the tensioner pulley and simply slip it over the alternator pulley.
Now attach the hoses. They will require some effort to secure them all the way in. Raise the clips before pushing them on. Note the upper hose comes with a new bleed screw.
After the lower hose is secured remove the aux fan switch o-ring and replace with the new one. I cleaned it off using some electrical contact cleaner and a paper towel. I also put a tiny bit of white lithium grease on that o-ring as well. Reinsert into the lower hose and secure.
Reattach the thermostat wiring harness and the harness for the aux fan switch.
Now reattach the fan and shroud. You can do this a few ways but I always slip the shroud in first then without securing it, I slip the fan in front of it and then slip both of them further down after some wiggling. To secure the fan initially spin it counterclockwise to try to get it seated on a thread or two. Once you have it there use your 32mm wrench in one hand and with your other hand, hold a blade to the side (left) then tighten. Once this is tight you should feel some resistance from the belts and even see your accessories moving. When you start the car it will tighten the nut some more. The shroud has a few points where it attaches to the radiator. Down below there are 3 tabs that it needs to slip into and on the top left (passenger side) there is a hook of sorts. Once it is seated properly the 3 holes for the rivets will line up at the top. Reinsert the rivets by pulling the pins all the way out and then slipping the rivets in. Then push the pins back in.
Now screw in the radiator drain plug but be VERY gentle as I have had one break on me. And when it breaks, half of it remains inside the radiator so this would easily become a more difficult task. It needs only 1 or 2 turns after you feel it give you some resistance.
Reattach the 'KALT' plate to the expansion tank.
At this point you are ready to fill with coolant. Go ahead and mix a 50-50 batch of coolant and distiller water.
Turn the ignition on and set the temps to 90f (highest) on the lowest fan setting. Then back out the bleed screw on the upper hose just a bit, maybe 3 turns.
Start pouring coolant into the expansion tank. Some will come spilling out of the bleed screw as you are pouring. Keep pouring until the level is correct. Tighten the bleed screw. Allow the coolant to continue to run through the system until the flow coming to the expansion tank from the upper hose is not sputtering with air but is instead a smooth flow. Screw on the expansion tank cap but do not over tighten. Start the car up and let it idle for a period of time, maybe 10 mins. Keep an eye on the temp gauge. Squeaky belts are normal as they are wet.
I chose not to reattach the lower shield or the air intake duct so I could monitor for any leaks over the next few days. Today everywhere will be wet so that's a moot point.
After the car had some time idling I brought up my OBC on my high cluster and pulled up Test7 which reports the coolant temp.
Then I took it out for a spin, taking it easy on the local roads until I got on the highway. Carefully monitor the coolant temp and shut it off if it appears to be getting too hot. Let it cool and make your way back home slowly. If that isn't the case, take it on the highway and assuming the temp is midway on your gauge, really get on it or at least take it to higher engine speeds. I did a 10 mile round trip and the temps were now between 91C & 93C.
After returning home I put my tools away like a good boy and called it a night. In the AM when the car had cooled completely I checked the coolant level and it was perfect.

Great write up, i am planning to change the lower radiator hose as it is leaking from the top connector. Right now the leak seems to be only from the lower hose,
Do you think i should replace both radiator hoses, water pump and a thermostat as you and lot of other people on the forums suggest? I have a 2004 m54 with 78k miles on it.
During the leak detection process and filling the expansion tank several times i dripped lot of coolant on the belts, do you suggest changing them as well? Not sure if coolant affects the belts. Both belts were changed 30k miles ago.
You were able to loosen the fan clutch using just a wrench while most of other people suggest using special tool to hold the water pump pulley, is it easy using just a wrench?
Again, your DIY is a great resource for the BMW community, thank you!
Yes, if it's leaking that badly, definitely time to replace and I would do both because if you've never replaced either then they are both of the same age.
Good luck!

How does the tensioner release? I have a 2007 X5, and the set-up looks a little different from your pictures. I think I have identified the tensioner, but when I undo the bolt, it is just coming out, and I do not see any tension releasing.

I will be changing these parts on a 2006 X3 with an M54 shortly. I assume it can't be much different than the X5. This looks like a great write-up, but I can't see any photos????

I found the xoutpost URL and that didn't work either. Since you can see the photos, it must be my computer or settings. I'll try from home tonight. Thanks.
Yeah if you're at work it's possible they're blocking remote/embedded images or just photo-sharing sites all together.

I took the extra guide pulley off the alternator and then managed to press the belt down enough to get that pulley back into place. Then, when I tightened that Allen Head, I started kicking myself.
I did change the pre-cat O2 sensors, thermostat and water pump today though, so in spite of my stupidity, I did manage to get things done.

Many many thanks for this wonderful post; replaced the thermostat last weekend on my 03 X5 3.0. Now the engine warms up quickly and properly. Plan to replace the pump & others during a nice spring weather.
The thermostat was stuck open, thus it takes a long time to move up the coolant temperature gauge. whether I started to drive or not, the gauge would suddenly jump to RED zone & stayed there till I shutdown and restart the engine. I initially thought it was a faulty coolant temperature sensor.
Also thanks for the trick to turn the 32 mm fan clutch. I beat the wrench quite a number times to loose it.
Glad to help!

Beyonce & Jay Z Bring 'On The Run' To BET Awards
Listen to Beyonce Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Jay Z Radio on iHeartRadio
Beyonce and Jay Z are bringing "On The Run" to the BET Awards. A clip of their song "Partition" from the joint tour played on the screens of the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles to close out Sunday night's award show.
Beyonce recreated her "Partition" video, dancing seductively on a small sofa. The couple won Best Collaboration for "Drunk In Love," and Beyonce took home Best Female R&B and Pop Artist.
The superstars were mentioned earlier in the night as well. Host Chris Rock didn't pull any punches in his monologue. The comedian poked fun at Jay and Solange's infamous elevator fight from, joking that Bey's sister was lucky to have attacked "Blueprint Three Jay Z" instead of "Reasonable Doubt Jay Z."

Hello guys, I'm new to this forum
I'm having some problem with backtrack, its not installed at vmware or what so ever
When i start the networking first
/etc/init.d/networking start
It's starting fine and i do startx
now i try to get some internet from Wlan0 and nothing happens.. well i really dont know how to config the network card in backtrack so i need some help with that
This is my network card name if u need it
Network Adapter Realtek RTL8168D/8111D Family PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.20)
you can do it automaticaly if your network has dynamic IP addressing with starting wicd client. Do that with "wicd start".
If you use static addresing then you can still configure it through wicd (at least i think so), or you can do it through shell by selecting IP address gateway and DNS
Some troubleshooting commands:
Netstat -pan|head //Look to see if you see udp port 68 is listening
ps -ef|grep dhclient //checks to see if the dhcp client daemon is running
make this lines :
iwconfig wlan0 essid (PUT YOUR SSID NAME)
ifconfig wlan0 (PUT YOUR LOCAL IP) netmask (PUT YOUR MASK)
route add default gw (PUT GW IP) wlan0
nano /etc/resolv.conf <----------------------nameserver 18.104.22.168
let me know....if that work for you or not.
ESSID is your network's name. Your question would have been easily answered with a quick search on google with the term "ESSID".

During the month of April, the Barrick Museum will kickoff its occasional Barrick Films series with New York based filmmaker Deville Cohen.
Cohen's films POISON (2011) and Cabbage Tree (2007) will be shown inside of the Barrick's auditorium during the following:
- Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
- Saturdays from Noon - 5 p.m.
Cohen combines elements of theater, sculpture, college, and cinematography in his films as he explores the ways in which individuals interact with their surrounding environment, both imagined and physically present. Sets, characters, and props become entangled in psychic dramas saturated with humor, desire, and anxiety.The protagonists of POISON, an 8-ball and a die, meet at a gas station and hit the road, meeting various natural and man-made scenes, composed entirely of photocopies, paper clips, ladders, and other improvisations. Cohen has cast various colors of lace to portray oil, water, and blood, vital liquids that are generated, collected and depleted as the piece unfolds. Taking a cue from Shakespeare's tragedies in which malice serves as a dramatic tool and functions as a nearly sculptural substance, Cohen's POISON flows with sensuous fluidity.
"We're excited to kickoff the Barrick Films series with the work of Deville Cohen," said managing director Aurore Giguet, "Cohen's use of black-and-white Xerox images create a fragile delicate environment that reflects on the collapsible nature of human logic and relations. Something I think we can easily relate to in Las Vegas."

All victims identified in East Cleveland killings
(East Cleveland) – 28-year old Shetish Sheeley and 18-year old Shirellda Terry have now been positively identified in the East Cleveland serial killings case.

Meanwhile, the family of Angela Deskins has released a statement. The 38-year-old Cleveland woman was the first victim to be identified.

Sister Catana Deskins says:
"Angela Deskins was a beautiful, sweet, kind hearted woman. She was raised in Novelty, Ohio by her father Robert Deskins and her step-mother Linda Deskins. Everyone who knew her loved her. She was a wonderful daughter, sister and aunt who truly cared about her family and friends. She is loved so much and will be missed by everyone who knew her. Our family would appreciate privacy during this time."
Deskins was one of three bodies found wrapped in plastic garbage bags in East Cleveland over the weekend. The third victim remains unidentified.
35-year-old Michael Madison is charged with three counts of aggravated murder and three counts of kidnapping. His bond was set Monday at $6 million.

'While his stick foul in last night's 3-1 loss to the Sabres clearly wasn't in the intent-to-injure category, Thornton was caught once again with his stick up, as he struck defenseman Jason Woolley in the face late in the second period. Thornton was assessed a four-minute double-minor on the play.'

The word "evolution"can bring on different reactions and emotions.
To the scientific community, it's the Darwin concept on the ever-changing state of how we got to where we are today.
To devout Christians, the theory can clash with the Biblical words of creationism.
Things get touchy when adressing the topic in school science classes.
Having already updated its standards for schoolkids in grades K-12 in mathematics and language arts, the Florida Department of Education has adopted new guidelines for science.

Best Of :: People & Places
Bimini Bay is a drinking den for wayfarers who likely missed their flight at FLL — back in 1968. Both blue and white collars find leisure at this neighborhood bar, which isn't properly portrayed by simple descriptions like "dive" or "hole in the wall." No establishment from Belle Glade to Miramar holds a lit cigarette to Bimini — a place that embodies skankiness more than the skivvies dangling from the rafters. Slumped over the bar top, ashtray distance apart, buddies slur out conversations. But there is more to do than share nonsensical thoughts. If you're bored with playing darts, try your luck at a raunchy game of Cooter Ball. Is the game on TV not capturing your interest? Turn your attention to the adult film in the other corner of the smoky room. There is something for every tasteless customer brazen enough to graze a flat surface at Bimini. Here, everyone knows your name. It's like Cheers but with porno.
Broward County power couples sure have been taking big hits lately. At one time, it looked like Broward County Commissioner Stacy Ritter and her lobbyist husband, Russ Klenet, were going to take over the world. Now she's the subject of multiple criminal investigations, and he's scooted off to D.C., as he lost a lot of his local business. Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman was at one point Broward's queen of mean, and her husband was the legal czar out in Sunrise. Now she's as quiet as a mouse, and he's been booted from his cush government gig. But Drew and Dawn Meyers have the makings of a Broward-worthy power combo — and that means there are hints of a conflict of interest. Drew Meyers is an assistant county attorney. Dawn Meyers is a lobbyist with the law firm Berger Singerman, who, of course, lobbies the same Broward County commissioners for whom her husband works. When the County Attorney's Office produced a draft of the new ethics code that basically gutted it, there was some controversy for the Meyerses, but for the most part, they've been careful to separate their sometimes slightly intertwining jobs. The power duo took a hit when the hubby was passed over for the county attorney's job in favor of Joni Coffey, the wife of big-time lawyer and former U.S. Attorney Kendall Coffey. Uh-oh — we may already have next year's winner.
When recently criminally charged Tamarac Mayor Beth Talabisco was running for her seat in 2006, she tried hard to pretend she wasn't under the thumb of dirty developers Bruce and Shawn Chait, who were trying to get government approvals to build a much-too-dense housing development on two golf courses in her city. She went so far as to inform the Sun-Sentinel that she had returned some $2,000 in campaign contributions tied to the Chaits and boasted about the distance she was keeping from the developers in her own campaign ads. It seemed that Talabisco was taking the high road, and voters promptly put her in the mayor's seat. But the reality was that Talabisco may have been in the Chaits' pockets more deeply than anyone realized. According to state prosecutors, she struck a deal with the Chaits for them to secretly fund an electioneering committee that would put out a barrage of negative ads against her opponents on the final weekend before the election. In fact, she met with Sean Chait to talk about forming the committee just before the father-and-son bribers put $21,000 in cash into the committee via two subcontractors who worked for them. In exchange for the dirty political money, Talabisco voted for the Chaits' controversial development just days after her election. It took five years, but when state prosecutors learned of Talabisco's lies and corruption, they slapped her with bribery, unlawful compensation, and official misconduct charges. She currently awaits trial.
People know Beverly Stracher's name these days as a key cooperating witness for the state in what is perhaps the biggest corruption cases in Broward County history. Or they know her as the husband of Les Stracher, who was a key partner of notorious Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein. But before the notoriety and political shenanigans, Beverly Stracher was just a Piper High grad and Broward Community College student who made her mark as a mediocre reporter for the mediocre Sun-Sentinel before becoming a government flack and, shortly thereafter, a Lauderhill city commissioner. She didn't last long in elected office, but she stayed in politics, becoming one of those shady behind-the-scenes "operatives." For years, she operated in relative obscurity before she struck a deal with Prestige Homes, owned by developers Bruce and Shawn Chait, to help them get influence with politicians with whom she worked — including Broward County Commissioner Ilene Lieberman and then-Tamarac Mayor Beth Talabisco. She took money from both sides — the influence peddlers and the politicians for whom she campaigned — in what was a sleazy arrangement. Now several of those politicians are awaiting trial, the Chaits have already pleaded guilty to bribery, and Stracher has become one of the county's chief canaries, giving one sworn statement after another to implicate her former friends. On top of that, her husband has filed for divorce. Don't cry too hard for Stracher, though; she's got a cush job at the county now, courtesy of Lieberman.
A vocal group of parents and teachers had been calling for Art Johnson's head for a year, blaming him for a new cookie-cutter curriculum many detested. Johnson canned his reviled chief academic officer, Jeffrey Hernandez, but he couldn't quell the uproar. Parents soon discovered that Hernandez had been moonlighting in Memphis while still on the payroll in Palm Beach County. They asked to see emails from Hernandez's last six months on the job and learned that the emails had disappeared. The possibility that Johnson sanctioned the moonlighting and/or had a hand in destroying the paper trail turned out to be the end of the superintendent's career. Before the board could publicly discuss firing him, he stealthily began crafting an exit plan that gave him a $428,000-plus golden parachute. It all happened so fast that even his worst enemies were surprised. Ordinary citizens ousting a powerful politician over a public records scandal? Only in the Sunshine State.
This fair-haired son of a preacher man seems determined to save Fort Lauderdale from itself. Proving wrong the axiom that South Florida's native sons grow up to either chase money or leave, he taught himself to play guitar, and now he tours local bars and art venues with his one-man act, Alexander. When he's not making ladies' knees wobble with his wholesome serenades, Alexander takes on ambitious projects: He was an unofficial partner in the now-shuttered Collide Factory, where he helped build a recording studio inside a graffiti-clad shipping container. And you're right, you do recognize him from somewhere: As a co-owner of Brew Urban Cafe in Victoria Park, he may or may not have drawn a heart in your latte.

Females and Four-Letter Words
58% of women curse in public. Are you of that 58%? Is it a fact that you're proud of, or a bad habit that you're trying to kick? Cursing is something that should be avoided, and definitely by girls, because of the negative effects, double standard, and anti-feminist terms.
There are many negative effects of cursing. When you curse and people around you don't, people may feel you're unpleasant to be with and may become uncomfortable with you, which can endanger relationships. It's commonly accepted that people who use bad words are ignorant, unimaginative, disrespectful, immature, whiny, offensive, and have nothing better to express themselves with. People will also assume that you have a bad attitude, lack of control, and little character if you curse. Society has …

A selected and signed card is lost in the middle of the deck. You put all the cards back in the box and you borrow a coin from your audience. The coin is signed by a spectator and you make the coin magically disappear. The signed coin reappears instantly in the box and in the middle of the deck on the signed card! Audiences are amazed!
CLICK HERE for more info!!
A truly mind blowing routine, perfected over the years.
* Easy to understand for the audience
* Easy to learn
* Uses a normal cup (ungimmicked)
* Uses normal clay
* Very portable
* For kids and adults
* Can be performed anywhere
* Fits any style, spoken or musical
* Gimmicks included
CLICK HERE for more info!!
"A beam of pure light comes to life on your card..then weirdly stretches and transforms to predict a chosen card's name, a lucky number or even someone's initials!"
* Super easy to do. No card skills required.
* Starlight can be pre-set before your performance to morph into any card value...any two digit number or any two initials!
* Works under all lighting conditions...from dark to light...indoors and outdoors (When using a borrowed phone's flashlight.)
* Spectator can hold her own phone in her own hand during entire effect.
* Performer has complete control over the light speed...and can stop and start the action at will.
* Resets in seconds.
* Perform any time...sitting, standing and surrounded.
CLICK HERE for more info!!
I cannot speak highly enough about this routine. I have been knocking people out with this effect all year.
One symbol and ONE symbol only is in an envelope. The card in the envelope can be seen at all times. 5 ESP symbols are place on the table. The spectator names ANY SYMBOL. NO FORCE OF ANY KIND. The prediction is removed from the envelope it is the EXACT same symbol they selected. THAT CLEAN, THAT DIRECT, EVERY TIME.
CLICK HERE for more info!!
"If there is any walk around card trick you should memorize and perform consistently, it's THIS ONE!"
EFFECT: A spectator has a completely free selection and chooses any card. They return it somewhere in the middle of the deck where it's hopelessly lost.
You then begin to shuffle the cards in a truly random fashion: face up with face down, face down with face up, etc. The cards are then shown to be mixed (some face to face, some back to back, etc). A big mess!
With a magical gesture, in the blink of eye, all the cards magically will realign themselves face up.....all except one card. The only face down card in the middle of the perfectly aligned deck is.....you guessed it....the spectator's chosen card!

The Ace Triumph is a fantastic card effect that is easy to learn, and fools everyone! Withi this digital download purchase, you will get to learn two fantastic versions of the Ace Triumph effect:
Ace Triumph v1: You start with a Four Ace Production. Then you put the aces back inside of the deck, you clearly and visually shuffle face-up cards into face-down cards. But with a little bit of magic, you cause all the cards to realign themselves face up.......all except the four aces! You can perform this trick with an ordinary deck of cards.
Ace Triumph v2: This is a gimmicked version, that adds a nice killer effect in the end. It's the same as version one, except with this new twist, you can show that the deck has changed color from the aces! It adds that extra KICKER which the spectator will never see coming!

Peter's exquisitely engineered gimmick does it all. YOU CLEARLY SHOW THERE'S NOTHING STICKING OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET…JUST YOUR BASIC INNOCENT BACK POCKET.
YOUR HANDS ARE EMPTY AND NEVER COME NEAR THE BACK POCKET. AND YET…A bizarre moment later you turn to show your pocket again…and now THE CARD HAS SUDDENLY APPEARED…STICKING OUT OF YOUR POCKET! (And yes, the normal card can immediately be plucked out by a spectator).
