Pictures please. I'd like to see the drop/new stance.
Also, yes you can use the stock springs with Bilstein shocks. Most ( including myself) use Eibach or H&R aftermarket springs because of the lower cost.
Mlukas that is what I thought. I put so many miles on my cars I usually reuse my springs (unless they break). I have a strut spring compressor for this.
I have upgraded both the front and rear sway bar links. The existing ones were pretty loose.
Did you need to compress the new front springs when installing them on the shock? Thanks for the write up, my wifes front shock exploded last night.
Yes, the front springs need to be compressed to take off the old ones and also to put on the new ones. An impact wrench is usually a must have. It's somewhat dangerous so some choose to take the front assembly to a shop to swap out the springs.

So i got my wheel alignment done. It cost me $59.99 with 6 months warranty. I got it done at http://www.networkautomotive.com/. They did a splendid job. The sepcs used were 2004-2010 BMW X3. The toe needed to be adjusted on rear and front. The camber/caster was within spec.
Awesome topic. I have been thinking about doing this exact thing to my '07. Thanks.
where did you purchase the open socket so you could tighten the nut on the bilstein? I have an oxygen sensor socket but it's to wide to fit down the opening.
Here is my before and after photos of the Eibach Pro-Kit and Bilstein shocks. Dropped the suspension 1".
X3mech. thanks for the in-depth thread.

Is the ride smoother? Harder? In the middle?
Thanks X3Mech and Mlukas161. Both of your threads were helpful. I had two busted rear springs. I just installed 4 Eibach springs on Sunday. I am swapping the struts and shocks at a later date. My ride height is at 17" from fender lip to wheel center at all four corners. Totally level. gzep23, the ride is more controlled than with the OEM springs. It takes way less effort to toss the car through sweepers and twists. The ride is less jarring. The car also seems to be more planted through whoops. I also installed cryo rotors and cermaic pads at all four corners. My style 192 wheels are on the way. I can't wait to feel the difference with the entire setup installed.
My friend and I completed the spring and shock swap on my wife's '06 X3 with 70K miles. We used the details of this thread to start. Some changes for us:
Not all parts are still available from the same vendors. I had to mix and match a little and have ended up with some duplicates on the small parts.
Used a GearWrench passthrough socket set instead of the ground down oxogen sensor to tighten the shock nut. The extension for the GearWrench set is long - requires a long allen wrench. Got a long allen set attached to sockets from Sears last minute to hold the shock shaft in place. My Bilsteins were 7mm not 8mm for the recessed allen bolt in the shock shaft. I could not verify 55 in-lb on the nut this way. Even with a torque wrench on the allen socket, the socket would begin to strip before the torque wrench clicked out.
Front axels would not pop out. Needed an extra inch to get the fronts out. Had to use a spring compressor to give us the additional inch installing and removing the shocks. The compressors on the new shocks only fit in one way in the cavity - one with three spring turns and another at two. The spring compressor shafts touched the baseplate for the springs preventing fancy GearWrench set from being used We used a wedge to help pry apart the shock cup for removal and reinstallation.
The shock caps did not fit my new bearing plates. I ended up using teflon pipe tape to make the caps bigger to fit the slightly larger holes of the new bearing plates. Using OEM bearing plates my have eliminated this.
We tried grinding down an adjustable wrench for the sway bar end removal but it didn't work so well. We found a flat tool in the shop that worked. My buddy forgot to set the air gun to "not break" and tore the end of one link off when he accidentally tightened the nut that was already tight and sheared the bolt. For reinstallation of the new part, I ordered the Park Tools Cone Wrench Set - flat and in the correct size. There are thin wrench sets out there but I could not get them in time to be convenient for me.
Both rear springs were broken and were the reason for the swap. We were prepared for the PITA spring removal. We found that by moving the jack out of the way from the suspension we were able to extend the suspension enough to work out the spring by hand and install the new one in the same way. One person on the spring the other pressing on the brake disk with your foot. We used a lubricant safe for rubber on the bottom plate to assist reinstallation.
The X3 sits lower and is scheduled for an alignment. Major improvement felt so far. Thought the job was not easy but not impossible. Saving $1k and new tools was worth the time for me.

X3Mech, Thanks for the great post!
I need to replace all the struts and shocks on my wife's 2004 X3 and I only have max 3 hours per Saturday to work on the car so the more I prepare in advance the better. I noticed that on 3/26 you mentioned not having to compress the new eibach springs when installing on the bilsteins: did you ever had to use a spring compressor at all? like when installing the whole strut + spring assembly? What size is the oxygen sensor socket you used ?
If you buy new springs and all new strut hardware no spring compressor is required. You can assemble on your workbench and remove the entire old assembly as one piece and install new...
2007 BMW X3 Suspension Upgrade: I was going to use this great post to fix my '06 x3 but at got a price adjustment from the local dealer to do the front pair. Seems this was a good call, though I love to get dirty, the Tech has spend 6 hours getting the old struts OFF ! Having spent many cold nights under my old Chevy bang'in and cussing I'm glad I passed.
I just finished this upgrade over the last two weekends (Bilsteins & Eibachs) here are my observations:
Rear suspension: took me 4 hours total. Removing the rear interior panels is a tedious task which requires lots of patience. To remove the coils I used the OEM jack located at the exterior side of the upper arm pushing down. Some times the jack slipped so I used the spring rubber pad to provide a better anchoring surface. Gloves is a must. Need to be cautions not to hit the jack once springs are being pulled. Good time to check the RTAB's. The lowered suspension created more negative camber but I did not want to mess with the eccentric bolts, I rather pay for this and get it done good for once.
Front suspension: took me 6 hours total (1.5 hours setting up and cleaning work area, 3 hours first strut, 1.5 hours second strut). PB Blaster and the 4 lb orange dead blow hammer from HF Tools are your best friends. I found that removing the calipers makes inserting the struts easier since you don't have to worry about putting too much tension on the brakes flexible lines. Inserting the strut into the bearing carrier takes time, the key is to make sure the tripod on the axle gets pushed into the tulip housing. Lifting the bearing carrier with the jack and hitting it with the orange hammer where the bolt goes made the insertion faster.
Special tools: you need to get a 7/8" oxygen sensor and grind it so it can fit the ID of the strut bearing plate. 7 MM hex wrench is an odd size, once again HF Tools has a complete set for $4.99 can't beat that!
Coincidentally it was time to replace the turanza EL42's so I switched to Michelin Defenders. The car drives superb now! total Freude am Fahren!. This is my wife's daily driver and she is very please with the new set up.
I installed my Bilstein struts and shocks yesterday. I previously installed the Eibach springs. It was just like doing any other shock and strut install. You don't even need to remove the rear wheels to swap the shocks. I the did the job at my step-father's shop and it took the two of us just under two hours to complete on a lift. We spent another 30 minutes on the alignment. I referred to this thread when removing the interior panels the night before. Many thanks for posting this. You are correct. That is about the most difficult part of this job. Have a long t20 torx bit, a set of phillips screwdrivers (you'll need a large and small), a long 10mm socket, and plenty of patience handy. Keep an inspection mirror and extending magnet near as well. Replacing everything wasn't as difficult as removing everything. Luckily, the interior panels and plastics are very flexible. I considered cutting access panels in the cargo area for next time, but I shouldn't need to do this job again before I sell the car.
Just an FYI: My X3 has 85,000 miles on it. The right strut was completely shot. The left still had some service life. the rear shocks were still good. My upper strut bearings were in surprisingly good shape. Very minimal amount of bearing drag and no play at all. I replaced them anyway. The rear shock mounts were like new with a small amount of surface rust. I replaced them too. I bought front upper spring pads, but the originals were like new, so I left them in place. I did replace the lower front spring pads because the right strut leaked all over its pad and it stretched out of shape a bit.
By the way, I bought my Bils and all of the pads and bearings from bvauto.com. They are having a sale on Bils. About $100.00 less than everywhere else for the set. No tax or shipping charges either. It was nice to deal with people who know what they are doing. Eric is awesome and my parts arrived in two days.
You can see my ride height in post #23 in this thread... http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=681194
This was with OEM shocks and struts and Eibach springs. Adding the Bilsteins did not change the height.

This write up is fabulous, especially the pictures. I did the rear shocks and springs this weekend, a standard suspension setup as it is my wife's car. Rear springs were broken, as noted herein it is a common problem, but the dealer never caught it.
I could not get the new standard spring into the carrier, so I rented a coil spring compressor from AutoZone (their tool number 27035 - $50 deposit). It was a little tricky, but worked. No way without the compressor, I tried everything. Be sure to attach as close to the ends of the spring as possible.
Doing the fronts next weekend.
Did the front last weekend, again standard Bilsteins using the existing springs. A couple of suggestions:
1. I removed the brake caliper as otherwise you pull hard on the brake hydraulic line when depressing the wheel hub to remove/install the shock assembly, very fast off and then on.
2. The half shaft pulls out from the inside CV joint, but as stated, don't panic. It is best to remember the position of the half shaft, usually has a sticker on it, so it will slide back in place. Worked well on both sides. If not aligned, you can't move the hub up and toward the interior, half shaft prevents it.
3. Penetrating oil is now my favorite tools, after a hammer. The collar bolt on the wheel hub was rusted and only after some heat and lots of penetrating oil did bolt come off, the nut was no problem, but the bolt was rusted in place. I sheered off the head of one side, so replacing both with new, Part # 31303450534 and of course new nuts.
4. For the stabilizer link, I used a pair of needle nose vise grips, worked perfectly as you only need to hold it after initial loosening, not need when doing the final torque.
5. If you forget to wrap the ABS sensor wire around the shock before installation, it is a quick removal with a 5mm allen wrench.
6. Hammer a large screwdriver into the gap on the shock hub base when removing the old shock AND when trying to insert the new one.
I think that does it for suggestions beyond what is already written here, which is SO helpful. Follow the instructions herein, they are proven to work.
Good luck!
Quick question here - do the Bilstein struts and shocks come with their own replacement bump-stops? I'm organizing my shopping list for a full replacement, and want to do it the way so many of you did: replacing every part and simply swapping assembled components. Nowhere can I find a list of what comes in the box.

The shocks come with nothing extra. I think they MIGHT have had the top retaining nuts, but that would be all. You will see that the originator of this thread bought everything, check his list.

A WATCHDOG has referred the death of a High Wycombe man in police custody to the Crown Prosecution Service.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has finished its probe into the death of Habib Ullah and sent the case to the CPS for assessment.
Mr Ullah suffered a cardiac arrest and died on July 3, 2008, after being restrained by officers who were trying to force drugs out of his mouth in Sharrow Vale, an inquest in 2010 was told.
The inquest was later abandoned after the Buckinghamshire Coroner was informed police officers had been advised to alter parts of their statements by a solicitor.
IPCC Deputy Chair, Rachel Cerfontyne, said: "This has been a complex investigation which I recognise has taken an unbearably long time for Mr Ullah's family.
"I am very sorry for the prolonged distress this has caused, but it has been essential to ensure that our investigation was robust and thorough."
The abandonment of the inquest led to the IPCC reopening its investigation into the case after an initial probe ruled there was no evidence to justify criminal proceedings against the officers involved.
The watchdog has sought additional information from doctors and restraint experts.
It also investigated the reasons behind the discrepancies between the original statements from offices and the accounts given at the inquest.
Five Thames Valley Police officers and a solicitor acting for police officers have been interviewed by the IPCC under criminal caution.
The family of Mr Ullah has campaigning for answers for five years.

LONG BEACH - City Councilman Robert Garcia is Long Beach's new vice mayor.
The council elected Garcia to the position Tuesday at its inaugural ceremony. Garcia, the youngest council member at the age of 34, is a college administrator at Long Beach City College and instructor at USC.
He represents the 1st District, covering part of downtown and neighborhoods to the north, including Willmore City.
"It's an honor to be able to serve the city we love so much," said Garcia, who was first elected in 2009.
"I look forward to working with Mayor (Bob) Foster and the council on moving the city forward."
The vice mayor serves a two-year term in Long Beach.
The position is vested with the duties and powers of the mayor, except for the ability to veto actions of the council, when the mayor is absent, has vacated office or is unable to perform his or her duties.
Garcia succeeds 2nd District Councilwoman Suja Lowenthal as vice mayor. Lowenthal and 9th District Councilman Steve Neal were also nominated for the vice mayorship.
Before Garcia was selected, four council members, among them Lowenthal, were sworn in for terms expiring July 18, 2016.
Patrick O'Donnell, the 4th District representative, officially became the first member of the council to begin a third term since Long Beach voters approved term limits in 1992. Three tried previously.
O'Donnell, whose district covers the Los Altos area, defeated business marketing consultant Daryl Supernaw in a June runoff. To get on the runoff ballot, O'Donnell won second place as a write-in candidate in the April primary.
Labor representative Al Austin took over as councilman for the 8th District, replacing Rae Gabelich, who was termed out of office this year. The 8th covers parts of Bixby Knolls and North Long Beach.
He won election outright in the primary, besting Lillian Kawasaki, an elected division director of the Water Replenishment Board of Southern California.
Austin is the third African-American now serving on the nine-member council, the most in Long Beach's 115-year history.
Lowenthal defeated two challengers in April to win a second elected term.
Dee Andrews, the 6th District councilman, was also sworn in Tuesday.
He ran unopposed.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (NYSE:GT[1]) reported earnings before the bell Friday, then got wrecked by Wall Street. The company dropped as much as 11% after the market opened (though it bounced back in late trading) following its first quarterly loss in more than a year.
But investors should look deeper than this oversimplified headline. The details of the earnings are actually pretty good, and the company continues down the bumpy road of recovery. That means this could be a bargain recovery play.
Disclosure: I personally own Goodyear stock. I bought in a few weeks ago at $10.66 a share — and if you bought at the intraday low Friday, you would have a similar entry point.
Though a risky investment to be sure, I think the progress Goodyear has made on improving its capital structure and streamlining its business over the past few years is commendable and could pay off significantly for investors a year or two down the road.
Let's get right to the earnings. Goodyear posted a net loss of $11 million, or 5 cents per share, compared to a profit of $103 million, or 42 cents per share, for the same period a year earlier. That's bad.
Goodyear also saw tire orders fall thanks to a softening economy in some global markets, most notably Europe. That's also bad.
However, investors should have expected weakness in Europe. The British economy is officially in a double-dip recession[2], and Spain's credit rating recently was downgraded[3] by Standard & Poor's.
As for the loss, special charges were the biggest driver of those declines. The costs of refinancing long-term debts shaved 35 cents off earnings in one fell swoop. And while nobody should like a loss, that kind of capital restructuring is undoubtedly good for a manufacturer like Goodyear that still is trying to get out from under deep losses and debts incurred during the financial crisis and Great Recession.
First-quarter sales actually were up 2% to $5.5 billion despite Europe weighing on worldwide tire volume. And North American profits doubled despite a drop in orders, thanks to customers and automakers looking for higher-quality tires to boost fuel efficiency and performance. These are higher-margin products and juiced GT profits domestically. This trend should only continue — especially the focus on fuel efficiency, as gasoline remains around $4 per gallon.
True, there are short-term headwinds for Goodyear. The company said it now expects its 2012 full-year tire unit volume to be about 2% below 2011 volume of 180.6 million tires. And let's not pretend the mess in Europe is going away anytime soon.
But Goodyear will easily come in with a profitable fiscal 2012, and its credit facilities refinancing allowed a $2 billion line of credit to be extended through 2017, while its second lien term loan was extended to 2019. No term debt repayments are required until 2019, according to the company, which allows Goodyear to focus on its business instead of just trying to pay its creditors.
You can expect more rough days for Goodyear this spring and summer. But when the market responds in knee-jerk fashion, investors should pounce. Consider that GT actually opened up on Friday before it dropped like a rock … and after Goodyear bottomed at $10.72, it quickly snapped back up to $11.50. This shows that while there still is selling pressure, many smart investors agree that this company could be a bargain at current depressed levels.
To be clear, don't chase Goodyear. I like my $10.66 entry point, but I wouldn't advise paying more than $12.50 or so for shares.
But if you dig into the earnings and explore this company like I did, I think you'll agree that the bargain valuation (a P/E of about 9 on fiscal 2012 earnings and under 5 based on the admittedly foggy 2013 forecasts) give you a reason to take a shot on Goodyear.
It's not fashionable to buy a turnaround manufacturer in America's "Rust Belt," and it's always risky to play with a stock that has trouble turning a quarterly profit. But after all the froth in tech and financials to start 2012, I would caution investors from expecting stocks that have gone up to continue going up.
Goodyear isn't sexy, but it could serve you very well during the next 18 months.

BNSF Railway, which operates rail yards in San Bernardino and several other Southern California communities, confirmed Wednesday the company will test liquefied natural gas fuel in a small number of locomotives later this year.
Even with just a few locomotives involved, company CEO Matthew K. Rose touted the planned tests as the beginning of a "potential transformational change" for the rail industry.
"While there are daunting technical and regulatory challenges still to be faced, the pilot project is an important first step that will allow BNSF to evaluate the technical and economic viability of liquefied natural gas in through-freight service, potentially reducing fuel costs and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby providing environmental and energy security benefits to our nation," Rose said in a statement posted on the company's website.
Rose's statement did not say where the tests will take place.
In San Bernardino, diesel emissions around the San Bernardino rail yard have been an issue for several years. The California Air Resources Board reported in 2008 that such pollution around the yard creates elevated cancer risks.
Regulators and BNSF, as well as Union Pacific, developed pollution-reduction plans for the San Bernardino and other California rail yards.
In the case of the San Bernardino yard, lower-emission engines, a $9million gate system for trucks entering the yard and other measures have reduced pollution 53percent since 2005, BNSF spokeswoman Lena Kent said.
The Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice, an Inland Empire activist group and a frequent critic of BNSF, has installed air filtration systems at three schools near the San Bernardino yard.
"Since we know it's going to take time to reduce pollution around the rail yard, we're looking to reduce the exposure," said Penny Newman, the group's executive director.
Newman also said she doesn't trust reports that emissions from the San Bernardino yard have been cut by more than half since 2005.
That report is based on estimates, not measured observations, she said.
Kent said it's not fair to doubt estimates of improved air quality when the study that pointed to health dangers at the yard also relied on estimates.
"You can't pick and choose which ones you're going to use and not use," Kent said.

This Beat Down is for Your Health - the Money Party Must Stop Occupy Movements
See also this excellent article from Michael Collins dated November 9, 2011, Abandoned Youth - No More Future, which does a lot to explain why OWS happened in the first place ... and must continue.
And check OccupyWallSt.org for news reports and video of the raids, and a notice, "9AM Post-Raid Rally and General Assembly" and call for a November 17 day of direct action.
In addition, 9/11 truth advocates have issued a call to "Occupy Building 7" November 19 and 20. For more information, see their website.

The fascist financiers of the Money Party are growing restless. Occupy Wall Street began with a call to action from the activist online group Anonymous in August. It was barely featured in the mainstream or alternate media. Instead of a small crowd that could easily be ignored then disbursed, fifty thousand citizens showed up at the headquarters for the world financial system, Wall Street. Despite the best efforts of Mayor Bloomberg and NYPD, the Occupy Wall Street continues. The message went out to the country and the world. Now, there are over 100 occupy events in Oakland, Kansas City, Washington, DC, and elsewhere.(Image: K. Kendall)
Occupy Portland began on October 6, 2011. It has maintained a steady presence in downtown Portland, a major West Coast center of commerce. The participants refuse to leave until the government addresses their grievances. Police scare tactics, planted provocateurs, and the elements are no barrier.
Portland evicted occupiers from their camps on Sunday morning. The occupy forces regrouped. Drawing local support, the crowd grew throughout the day. Sunday evening, the police tried a forced eviction from the downtown area that involved mounted police, shoving and pushing, and pepper spray. The police effort failed. The occupation continues, albeit with fewer places for citizens to assemble and the expectation of more police harassment.
There were police actions in other cities against occupy movements. These include Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Denver, San Francisco, and Albany, New York.
Frequent Money Party propagandist, the New York Times explained away local government police actions against demonstrators as arising "amid growing concerns over health and public safety." Establishment tool, Mayor Sam Adams, used this excuse to attack Occupy Portland last night. The occupy camps were not "sustainable." They had to be shut "to restore public health and safety." Mayor Michael A. Nutter of Philadelphia is massing police around Occupy Philadelphia due to his concern about "growing public health and safety concerns" Note the similarity of statements by Adams and Nutter to the New York Times talking points.
What other public health problems cause mayors to amass police and attack citizens?
If the mayors were so concerned about public health, they'd provide facilities and personnel to deal with public health, not mounted police beating protesters with truncheons?
In case the public health excuse fails, the Portland Police Department is seeding the media with stories that Occupy Portland participants were "fashioning makeshift weapons with wood and nails, in advance of a planned move by authorities to clear their two encampments over the weekend."
No use of "makeshift weapons" was reported during the police actions against protesters Sunday.
Also, keep in mind that the Portland Police have extremely low credibility when it comes to telling the truth and respecting the constitutional right of assembly. After the August 22, 2002 protests against the International Monetary Fund in Portland, police videos tape were released that showed planned harassment and violence against demonstrators without any provocation -- other than the exercise of free speech to protest the international organization behind the global financial crisis on August 22, 2002 (Portland indymedia video collective)
They Can't Stand the Truth
The occupy movements across the country are exercising their First Amendment right to "peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Money Party can't stand that. Even worse, the occupy movement targets and methods are meeting with broad based approval. In a recent poll, "43 percent agree with views of Occupy Wall Street,"
When they use excuses like public health to stop peaceful assemblies, the mayors are liars, plain and simple, tools of the Money Party. They're following orders to disburse a movement that's just a little too real for the fascist financiers. It doesn't matter if the mayors are Democrats or Republicans. Both Adams and Nutter are Democrats. The city government of St. Paul, Minnesota was dominated by Democrats when it fabricated excuses to ban public protests at that event. They're elected officials through the contributions of the wealthy and powerful. They enjoy being on both the public and private dole. And they anticipate cashing in, like many elected officials, with a sweet position when their public service is over.
Time to Shut It Down
The fascists financiers of The Money Party are now paying attention. They're using the normal tactics they employ against domestic assemblies of citizens who present grievances: lies, misinformation, police bullying, police attacks, claims of "safety and public health" concerns. They'll ramp up soon to massive police actions and claim that citizens caused the coming police riots.
They have no other choice at this point. What if that 43% pubic sympathy for the Occupy Wall Street movement becomes 53% or 63%.
What if there is the possibility, no matter how slim, that real change will occur?
What if they're investigated, tried and put in jail?
Here's a timeline from Portland Indymedia along with two videos from last night:
Interview with Occupy Portland on police actions (including mounted police) and pepper spray attacks
Hello Wall Street - We Are Anonymous
Memo to Mayors
Just in case the mayors and city attorneys in the occupy cities forget, here's the prevailing law applying to public assemblies. It supersedes local health ordinances and requests by wealthy donors and patrons to disburse demonstrations that disturb their sense of security and safety.
First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by TheCoolFan, Oct 7, 2012.
I'm amazed by the consistent excellence of the Patriots organization.
I gotta watch it with two of the best playing each other.
Aside from a couple prayer throws, you guys realize Cutler barely threw for 200 yards against us right?
He drove the bus, threw for 2 TDs, and didn't turn it over. When your defense gets that many turnovers, thats all you need to do.
Fitz eats it.
If the Pats finally found a good running game... bad news for everyone.
Hmm if this keeps us, the Bears may win the division if the Packers keep struggling. Vikings are off to a nice start with that easy schedule but their last 6 games are brutal. Lions have the Madden Curse
Why don't we ever QB sneak it? Doesn't get any easier than this.
Wow what a smart call by the Seahawks, taking that safety
McGahee choked
Jovan Ringer hurt
Nasty nasty injury
McGahee is a choker
He single-handedly destroyed the Broncos' comeback.
McGahee choked this game away
I'm stuck with Minn and Tenn.
That's what it was like to watch the Cowboys under their run with Landry
Those were the days.
yep. spoiled me rotten
Denver's defense stunk up the joint. McGahee just ended any comeback hopes.

Ice Cube opens up about N.W.A. documentary
Listen to Ice Cube on iHeartRadio | Listen to N.W.A on iHeartRadio
Ice Cube is dishing some details on his documentary about N.W.A. The rapper tells LAWeekly.com that he's recently been in touch with his former N.W.A. group-mate Dr. Dre in an attempt to put together a documentary about the pioneering West Coast rap group.
While there are other documentaries about the group in the works, Ice Cube says his will be the "official" story of the group. He plans on taking fans deeper than any other previous documentaries or news articles have gone. He says the film will cover the "intimate conversations that helped forge N.W.A."
Ice Cube is gearing up to release his tenth studio album Everythang's Corrupt later this year.

3 Doors Down suspend Todd Harrell indefinitely after DUI arrest
Listen to 3 Doors Down on iHeartRadio
The members of 3 Doors Down are extending bassist Todd Harrell's suspension following his latest DUI arrest.
The band released a statement Thursday explaining that Harrell hasn't been allowed to participate in any 3 Doors Down performances since last year's criminal charges against him stemming from an automobile accident that resulted in a man's death.
But given this week's drug-related DUI charge, the band says they've extended Harrell's suspension indefinitely. The group says they made the decision to protect the image and integrity of 3 Doors Down and to encourage Harrell to "address and resolve his problems."

FirstGov Recognized for Giving Citizens Easy Access to Information
December 4, 2001
Contact: Eleni Martin (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -FirstGov (www.firstgov.gov), the federal government's official Web gateway, was named one of 11 winners of the 2001 Grace Hopper Government Technology Leadership Award. The award, presented by Government Executive, was given in recognition of FirstGov giving citizens easy access to information about all levels of government from one location on the Web. FirstGov.gov accesses more than 53 million federal and state government Web pages in a quarter of a second.
The Government Technology Leadership Award is named after the late Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. Hopper, known for setting her clock to run counterclockwise as a reminder of the benefits of unconventional thinking, was a champion of innovation in the computer industry and helped pioneer the COBOL programming language in the 1950s.
Responding to the needs of citizens after the terrorist attacks of September 11, the FirstGov staff quickly gathered, verified, and posted critical information ranging from hospital telephone numbers to federal and state assistance programs to how to report a tip to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"The tragic events of September 11 showcased the fact that there is one site on the Internet where people can go to at anytime to quickly and easily find government information," said Deborah Diaz, Deputy Associate Administrator of the Office of FirstGov in the GSA Office of Governmentwide Policy.
Since its launch in September 2000, FirstGov has become an Internet success with more than five million hits per month. FirstGov helps citizens do more online business than ever before, such as applying for student loans, finding jobs, renewing drivers' licenses, and comparing Medicare options. As a result of FirstGov's catalytic influence, government is also changing the way it thinks about its online services and many agencies have redesigned web sites to be more citizen-focused, added email feedback channels for the public, and worked across agency lines to create new portals, including ones for nutrition and children.
FirstGov is an interagency initiative that is administered by GSA. The FirstGov search engine is provided by The Federal Search Foundation.

- Status: Complete
Eight years has passed by since Albina Ratownik has escaped from the Underground Hospital Prison of Dr. Smok. No one knows what happened to him but Albina is sure that he is dead because she saw his death before her very eyes. She has been adopted by a doctor who is a good man and she is survived her depression and PTSD. Now Albina is a police officer who hunts criminals but one day, everything goes downhill. Four teenagers escape a train wreck but this train wreck was suspicious and abnormal. When the train crashed, no bodies were found and the four teenagers claim that two of their siblings and the rest of the passengers have been kidnapped by terrorists. They also mention someone by the name of Dr. Smok. Is Dr. Smok really alive out there, with terrorists, trying to cause more harm to people? Or are these teenagers lying and are they part of a conspiracy? It's up to Albina to decide.

What's with key words in post being ads now?
I hate to tell you this but something you have downloaded has installed a program that's doing that on your PC. That has nothing to do with CBZ. :
I had that happen to me a few years ago and it really pissed me off.
I was afraid of that. Thanks
What I did was a do a restore on my PC and turn the clock back a day or two to get rid of it.
OK....Seems to be working so far. Thanks again
No problem, you are welcome.

I find Alt + F4 works.
Damn you Brad :laugh1:
lol. Back in the telnet BBS days, when someone would ask how to do something like say enable ANSI color, we would tell them ALT+H which was the shortcut to hang up the modem. You always knew when they fell for it as a global message would pop up saying something like, "Yeagermeister just hung up!!!" :laugh2:
Back when chat rooms were the big thing we could see the avatars of the people in the chat room (even if they were just guests) and would type out...for porn pictures press Alt +F4 and you would watch their avatar disappear and the message (name has logged off). When they would come back everyone would call them perverts.
So your saying there won't be any porn?
The Atl-F4 works in WoW as well. Logs you off of the game. People get fooled into doing it all the time in battlegrounds.
So how many times a day would you get called a pervert? :laugh1:

Resumption of Middle East Talks: Statement by Foreign Minister Westerwelle
Foreign Minister Westerwelle issued the following statement on the Middle East peace process today:
"I welcome the agreement on the resumption of Middle East peace talks. This is an excellent outcome of the intensive mediation efforts undertaken by US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Given the stalemate in the Middle East peace process in recent years, it may be the first step towards a breakthrough.
I hope the negotiations can actually begin soon. This is a historic opportunity, which both sides should grasp with courage and determination.
Together with its European partners, Germany will actively support the negotiating process."

Basil Paterson has died
Longtime New York political powerhouse Basil Paterson has died. He served as a state senator, deputy New York City mayor and New York's first black secretary of state and was the father of former Gov. David Paterson, the state's first black Governor.
Basil Paterson, who died Wednesday night at Mount Sinai Hospital, was 11 days short of his 88th birthday. He was among the influential "Gang of Four'' that included former Mayor David Dinkins, former Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton and Congressman Charles Rangel.
His family said Paterson was known throughout the community as a "man of action'' who accomplished his goals.
"Basil Paterson exemplified a model of public leadership, serving the people of New York with integrity and dedication to make this State a better place. New York will miss him. From his service in the U.S. Army during World War II to breaking barriers to become New York's first African-American Secretary of State, Basil Paterson put his commitment to this State and our nation first. His legacy inspired a new generation of talented public leadership, a legacy his son Governor David Paterson carried on as Governor. Basil's spirit will forever be felt in the neighborhoods of Harlem, a community he loved, fought tirelessly for, and called home. We mourn his passing, and on behalf of all New Yorkers, I send my thoughts and prayers to Governor David Paterson and Basil's entire family."
Early this morning, I learned of the passing of Basil Paterson, a good and decent man who was committed to public service and giving back to New York. Basil Paterson served the people of this state in many distinguished ways -
- in the U.S. Army during World War II, as State Senator, candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Deputy Mayor of New York City, and as New York's first African American Secretary of State.
Even with these numerous personal accomplishments, I know he was even prouder to watch his son David become New York's 55th Governor and provide leadership during a difficult time in our state's history.
I join all New Yorkers in mourning the death of Basil Paterson, and send my thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. His contributions and legacy to our great state will endure.
STATEMENT FROM COMPTROLLER THOMAS P. DiNAPOLI
"Basil Paterson devoted his life to his family and his family included all New Yorkers. He was a pioneer, who came from Harlem to blaze a trail for African Americans in politics across the country. He was a powerful advocate for justice, whose example spurred on the many men and women who have followed in his footsteps. Our thoughts and prayers are with Governor David Paterson and the Paterson family as we mourn the loss of a great leader."

Acadia's Director of Athletics, Kevin Dickie, praised the accomplishments of Acadia's student-athletes - both athletically and academically.
"Along with having four teams presently ranked in the CIS Top 10 of Canada athletically and great community initiatives that we are involved in at this time, including the RCMP's WITS program and the Annapolis Valley Regional School Board partnership, it is amazing to consider that we lead the country in the highest percentage of Academic All-Canadians based on the size of the institution," he said. Congratulations to our 79 Academic All-Canadians for 2011-12."

Please help the Pokémon Wiki by adding one.
Pokémon Tech is an exclusive trainers school where trainers learn everything there is to know about Pokémon. This was the setting for "The School of Hard Knocks."
There are three types of student categories: beginner, intermediate and advance. Beginner students are as good as anyone with two Pokémon Gym Badges, the intermediate class are good as someone with four, and advanced are as good as someone with six. When a student graduates, he is allowed to enter the Pokémon League without having to get all the badges. The classes are incredibly hard but students can't leave without getting a diploma. Sometimes students are held back for many years. The faculty does not know about the teaching methods used by the students, or if they do they pretend not to.

Hey man I think you have to do it now. If you don't I think you will probably look back with regret. Don't rush though things will work out if you take your time. I've found that if i want my lady on board with something you have to start slow and plant a seed. It didn't take long for her to realize I'm a nicer person (less of a d___head) when I surf and I was MIA whenever a swell hit and she was stuck home with the kin. One day she asked if I wanted to look at houses near the water and that was it.
BTW I am a happy family guy and wouldn't change a thing but PJB is dropping some jewels on you son. His insight @ simplifying your life, eliminating what you want vs what you need, and realizing most of what we worry for is straight b.s.. good stuff dude! Its pretty scary how much of your recent stuff I've agreed with.

Morgan Sykes was the lone BC female rider to take on the course on the afternoon, making her way through the laps to finish with a time of 2:49:48 to lead the Tornados. Sykes finished 19th overall among the riders for the first points in the Tornados defense of their back-to-back titles.
The noon sun warmed the course up as the men took the line at 12:10 p.m. as they began their run among the Division II riders on the course.
Kody Adams, Angel Fire, N.M. native Lewis Gaffney and Keith Marek all took on the field for Coach Brian Sheedy in the afternoon, with Adams leading the Tornados run with a time of 4:06:59 to place 28th overall on the event.

Two River John-area residents are convinced that an animal that crossed in front of them on the Upper River John Road last week was a cougar. Above is a photo taken of a cougar at the wildlife park near Shubenacadie.
©Truro Daily News - TC Media
Authorities may caution otherwise but two River John-area residents are convinced that an animal that crossed in front of them on the Upper River John Road, Pictou County, last week was indeed a cougar.
"It sat there and it kind of looked at us," said Heather Morrissey, who said she and friend Karl Karlsson spotted the cougar one day last week. "And I mean I seen the thing directly. It looked at me when it was down over the embankment," she said, adding the lighting conditions were good and the pair was only between seven to nine metres away from the animal before it slipped away into the woods.
"And it was a sunny day, there was no confusion," Morrissey said, adding that as a former animal control officer in Burlington, Ont. for 18 years, she has had previous contact with eastern cougars.
"It was a very rare occasion but we did see them," she said. "I've seen them also in wildlife parks and things like that, so this definitely was a cougar."
Shavonne Meyer, a Department of Natural Resources biologist in Truro, said while Morrissey's description "sounds a lot like a cougar," so do a lot of the 50 to 100 sightings the department receives each year.
"They sound great," Meyers said, of similar sightings that often come from "very credible sources too. But without the physical evidence, we say the jury is still out."
Meyers said the department records each reported sighting they receive and where possible, the reports are checked out by DNR staff.
"And in no cases have we been able to find physical evidence to substantiate the observations," she said, of such things as distinctive tracks, scat, fur or a cougar carcass.
"We basically say that we're very confident that there's no breeding population of cougars in Nova Scotia. But the possibility of a transient or a single captive animal is fathomable. It's just that we haven't found any physical evidence to be able to corroborate that," she said.
"We're not saying that they're not here, not saying that they are. (We're) saying that the information we need to really assess that is not complete."

'The 4-4 tie with Buffalo last night was a point earned by a 3-for-9 night on the power play, with two five-on-three goals by Lindros and Bure's wrist shot with 8:51 to play.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's tennis team (7-2) ran its consecutive win streak run to four matches as the Lions upended the University of Tennessee-Martin, 7-2, Wednesday afternoon from the Saint Leo Tennis Center.
In taking down their Division I foes, the Lions took two-of-three matches on the doubles side, before registering five singles victories.
Tennessee-Martin, who was predicted to win the Ohio Valley Conference in 2012, faced a rather difficult Lions' group who immediately staked their claim to the match by winning two of the three doubles contests. The Lions top-flight and nationally-ranked duo of Laura Kemkes and Emily Singleton highlighted the Lions' advantage with an 8-4 win over Tiley/Simik.
Saint Leo controlled the match the rest of the way as they posted wins at all but No.1 singles. Maria Benkirane bounced her challenger in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0, while Adrianna Daszkiewicz and Emily Singleton went 6-2, 6-2, and 6-3, 6-1, respectively. Jeanette McDonald closed the match with a hard-fought win at No.4 singles and Caroline Ebner gutted-out a grueling three-setter.
The Lions will return to action on Friday, March 7, when they host No.7-ranked Columbus State. First serve is set for 2 p.m.

By Gale Fiege Herald Writer
MOUNT VERNON — Traffic moved steadily across the temporary fix to the I-5 bridge over the Skagit River early Wednesday morning, bringing relief to business owners and people who live in the area.
Less than a month after a span of the bridge collapsed and dumped three people into the cold river, crews reopened the bridge. The two southbound lanes opened about 4:40 a.m. and the northbound lanes opened about 5:50 a.m.
State troopers were on hand to enforce the 40 mph speed limit and the ban on big rigs with oversized loads.
Detours signs in Mount Vernon and Burlington were still up at mid-morning, but traffic on city streets around the bridge was moving well and without the congestion common during the I-5 bridge closure, which collapsed May 23.
At North Cove Coffee in Burlington on Wednesday morning, barista Rhaelynn Givens said all her regular customers were showing up.
"I'm happy that it feels like a normal day here," she said.
Jason Becktel who lives on the main detour route, also was pleased.
"I've been trying not to go into Mount Vernon. I couldn't even take a left into my driveway. The bridge opening is friggin' awesome," he said. "I'm way happy. I took me 45 minutes to go to the grocery store. That traffic just sucked."
At Riverside Health Club in Mount Vernon, club owner Denise Skelton said she is relieved to have the bridge open for the summer.
"Despite the bad traffic, I think most people in Skagit County had a positive attitude," Skelton said. "It was amazing that the state got the bridge open as fast as they did. We are all very thankful."
During the detour around the bridge, small shops along the route saw a big drop in business, said Lisa Ley at Darren's Donuts in Mount Vernon.
"We started making a lot fewer doughnuts when we noticed that by late morning we were essentially done for the day," Ley said. "Drivers didn't want to lose their places in line on the street, so they stopped coming by."
Micah Lewis, manager at Foothills Toyota in Burlington said the bridge closure made a dent in car sales and made it tough for his staff to even run out for a sandwich at lunchtime.
"We already are seeing more traffic at the dealership today," Lewis said.
Lori Lehto of Oak Harbor drove over the bridge about 8 a.m. Wednesday on an errand for her office in Mount Vernon.
"I held my breath and gripped the steering wheel," Lehto said. "But I also wished that some of the construction workers were still there so I could have waved at them to show my thanks."
Max J. Kuney Construction of Spokane has been awarded the $6.9 million contract to build the permanent replacement span on the bridge. The contractor is expected to begin work this week and have the finished section ready for installation after Labor Day weekend, said state Department of Transportation spokesman Bart Treece.
"We worked hard to get people moving safely and efficiently," Treece said. "We believe the next closure in September will be for less than two weeks. We're at halftime now, but there is a lot more work to do."
Since the I-5 is an interstate freeway, federal funds covered the cost of the temporary fix and will cover about 90 percent of the permanent repair.
Along with the 40 mph speed limit, drivers should be aware that each direction of the temporary span is narrower, and has been reduced from two 12-foot lanes with 3-foot shoulders, to two 11-foot lanes with 1-foot shoulders, the state Department of Transportation said in a press release. Freight haulers carrying legal loads won't be detoured off I-5, but oversized or overweight loads must exit and use the marked detour route.
Information about driving conditions and the ongoing project is available at www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/I5/SkagitRiverBridgeReplacement. People without computer access can call 511.
