Now we're going to clean up the thermostat housing itself. Don't use sandpaper. We're using a roll off disk. It's a little red scotch brite pad there to clean this up. The housing is aluminum or some aluminum alloy so it would tear up real easily if you used a grinder or something like that. He's just going to get the entire gasket surface clean and we're removing some metal to just because it's so badly corroded. Now we're just going to lay the gasket in there and put the bolts in there in preparation for our customer to pick it up. We didn't actually remove it from the car. We were just given a little nightmare by the customer.
In many engines, the thermostat housing serves as the coolant outlet and is located on either the cylinder block or intake . Coolant typically flows out of the housing, through a large hose, and into the radiator. These housings hold the thermostat that regulates the flow of coolant through the engine and radiator. They are typically made of a plastic composite, aluminum, pot metal, or other similar materials. A fiber gasket will typically be used to connect the thermostat housing to the block or , though plastic and rubber gaskets also exist.

@ocelot60- When your nephew starts automobile repair school, he will learn all about automobiles and how they operate. Since he will need to knowledge so he can fix all kinds of issues, learning about auto parts such as the thermostat housing will be the foundation of his coursework.
Post 1
I have a nephew who is planning to go into automobile mechanics because he would like to own a auto repair garage some day. Is a concept like thermostat housing something that he should expect to learn about in auto mechanics school?

Re: Correct heater hose routing
With a little more research, I came across and even better idea. Perhaps you can find something like this, a Thermostat Housing Spacer. I'm not sure what the size of the threaded holes are, but it would allow you to put the thermostat ABOVE the two outlets, and thus you would get water flow (and thus heat to the heater core) out of them even if the thermostat was closed.
I can't give you the origins of this part, because it was just on a site full of pictures, not engine parts. But you get the idea, with a little bit of research you might be able to find something that would work for you.
I know a little about cars, but if you have a question about electricity or sport quads, I'm your man!!!
Now we're gonna repair a broken bolt in a 63 Cadillac water passage bypass to the housing. The '63 Cadillac is especially notorious for leaks on that fitting right there in the center where it plugs into the engine. But this one we need to replace the thermostat. And, in order to do that, we need to get the thermostat housing off. The first thing that happens when pulling that housing off, the bolt broke. So, we're gonna show you how to remove that broken bolt that's down in the hole and we're gonna show you how to carefully remove the other bolt in an attempt not to break it off. You'll have lots of opportunities as you work on old cars to deal with broken bolts, especially in water passages where they corrode in there.
When a thermostat is suspected of failure and needs to be inspected or replaced, the housing must be removed. This is typically a simple operation, though some vehicles have thermostat housings that are very difficult or time consuming to reach. The best way to locate the thermostat is typically to follow each radiator hose to the engine and determine which connects to a removable housing. If both hoses connect to a removable component, there will typically only be one that appears capable of containing a thermostat.

Hello there..... Avoid or limit caffeine and alcohol and don't use nicotine. All of these can make it harder to sleep. Avoid caffeine after lunchtime. Avoiding alcohol can help prevent restless sleep and frequent awakenings..... Stick to a sleep schedule. Keep your bedtime and wake time consistent from day to day, including on weekends.....

What People Are Saying About Liz B. Parenting...
"When I started working with Liz, I was at a career crossroads. Her compassionate coaching allowed me to explore new
possibilities. Since then, I've achieved more than I ever thought possible and I'm so grateful for the tools and clarity her coaching has given me."
- Michelle K. (Toronto)
Parenting Coaching & Consulting Client
"My husband and I haven't even used up our package we bought with Liz and already our household is completely different. We now have tools that work, we have a plan that keeps us on track and we trust in ourselves more when we are in the mist of parenting our loveable and spirited 18 month old daughter and almost 3 year old son. I have been most blown away with how the relationship between me and my husband has shifted. Even though the craziness of having young kids is still present, our level of irritation with it and each other has shifted, seemingly overnight. THANK YOU LIZ! I have been telling all my friends that no matter what is going on in their household anyone could benefit from talking to Liz! "
- Kate R. (Toronto)
"It was an engaging and informative evening that offered a fresh perspective on parenting. Liz was personable, approachable and charismatic. We hope to have her at our school again!"
- St. Leo Catholic School (Mississauga)
"I feel like we made an excellent choice when we chose Liz to speak to our community on "What kids REALLY need from parents." She was an engaging speaker that encouraged and thrived on audience participation. In fact, it was the questions and dialogue that allowed her to showcase how to put the theory into action in a very meaningful way. She respected the questions and experiences of those that participated and offered thoughtful, positive feedback. I appreciated how she included anecdotes from her own family. She managed to simultaneously present her knowledge of and belief in the theory of Adlerian parenting while admitting that parenting is never easy. She was humble, but also passionate in her beliefs. I left the presentation feeling like I had some tools I could immediately put into practice with my own family. Lastly, she stayed long after the presentation was over to speak with everyone that had further questions.
Overall, Liz made the experience of organizing this event simple and uncomplicated. She was prompt, professional, and positive in all communication and she delivered an interesting presentation that allowed for discussion. It was well received by those that attended."

|Understanding coaches' learning : process, practice and impact

Although it seems clear that coaches become effective practitioners through idiosyncratic combinations of learning experiences (Werthner & Trudel, 2009), little is known about how and why this occurs and impacts on coaching knowledge and practice (Cushion et al., 2010). This research sought to understand the processes and impact of coaches learning in the context of UK youth football coaching, specifically centring on a formal education course. The research process utilised a pragmatic and integrated perspective, influenced by impact evaluation frameworks (e.g. Coldwell & Simkins, 2011). A group of 25 coaches were investigated at different points over a period of a year and a half, using a mixture of semi-structured interviews, systematic observations, video-based stimulated recall interviews and course observations, to build up increasingly in-depth levels of data. Using the principles of grounded theory methodology (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) as well as mixed analyses of variance (ANOVA), changes in the knowledge use and practice behaviours of course candidates, and equivalent coaches not undertaking formal education, were compared. The course had subtle impacts on coaches knowledge conceptions in interaction with wider knowledge sources, yet impact on practice was generally demonstrated only in the areas of questioning content and individually directed coaching interventions. Mismatches between the espoused theory of the course and what the candidates actually perceived, as well as a lack of individualised support to overcome disjuncture (Jarvis, 2006) created barriers to learning, preventing integration of theoretical conceptions into altered coaching practice. A substantive grounded theory was generated to explain the underpinning double-loop cognitive filter and reflective feedback processes involved in coaches learning. The model demonstrated that practitioners learning, guided by existing biography and driven by a practical focus on what works , was heavily influenced by context. Meaningful learning connected knowledge with implementation in practice through reflection. These processes help explain uneven learning across individuals; addressing for the first time questions of what works , how , 'why', and for whom in coach learning (McCullick et al., 2009). Thus the results generate an understanding of coaches learning which can be practically relevant in fostering better opportunities to enhance the development of capable and creative coaches.

OK, so what the hell am I doing, anyway?
And how the hell do I make this happen?
It took me a while to get through the Phoenix Cave, and I've done it twice this playthrough. I had to look at a map on a site called VG Maps to refresh my memory. But I did get through to the Red Dragon.
Naturally, this dragon is a fire elemental, due to it's being red and in a cave full of magma. Therefore, ice magic is its weakness. Since I had one character with Ice 3 in my party against this guy, it really wasn't that big a deal. He even drops a sword for Cyan called the Strato. At this point I may already have something better for him, but I'll have to check that out.
Of course, when I actually did win this fight, the counter that says how many dragons are left said there were still three left. I thought getting this one would have made it only two, but it looks like I was wrong. I think the one I missed would be the one in the Ancient Castle, because I don't recall ever having found my way in there. Since I am still interested in finding out what happens if I beat all eight of the dragons, I'll give it another shot before I head for Kefka's tower, since that's where the last two are.
As for Doom Gaze, I'm not entirely sure I'll go for it any more. Beating it does give the party the Bahamut Esper, but I'm not sure it's worth the time and trouble to get it. For now, I think I'll just say that if I get it, I get it; if not, that's OK, too.
Anyway, it's time to wrap this up, so until next time, stay safe, have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA!

the ok factor
Olivia Diercks and Karla Colahan, cellist and violinist of The OK Factor, have one word to describe their musical connection: lucky. The ease with which they write and perform their original music is organic, and their new-classical crossover style has caught the attention of the Minnesota music community in which they live and work. It continues to bring them success on stages such as The Cedar Cultural Center, The Dakota Jazz Club, Minnesota Public Radio, and more.
Olivia and Karla are passionate about educational outreach and community engagement. They conduct workshops for string students of all ages, using their instruments as vehicles for creative and innovative musical thinking. Olivia and Karla also provide programming to reach community members where they're at, creating an experience that inspires and encourages communities to explore music, and cultivate a curiosity about its role in their lives.
Following five years of writing, performing, and regional touring, The OK Factor is excited to share their fourth studio album, "Have Yourself an OK Christmas," released on December 1, 2017.

Take Shelter is a very well crafted film that otherwise defies description. The best I can do is to call it a horror mystery, although it plays more like a drama -- and one that takes its time at that. But writer-director Jeff Nichols expertly builds the momentum slowly but steadily, until it reaches a bewilderingly abrupt end.
Curtis (Michael Shannon) is a husband and father in his mid-thirties living in rural Ohio and making a decent living as a construction worker. Apparently out of nowhere, he starts having horrifyingly vivid dreams, and he takes them seriously. When he dreams of his dog attacking him and biting through his arm, which continues to hurt all day even after he wakes up, he builds an outdoor pen for the dog without offering any explanation. For a very long time, he hides the nightmares from his wife (the ubiquitous Jessica Chastain, this year also in The Debt, The Tree of Life, and The Help), leaving her to wonder at his increasingly strange behavior.
Curtis also dreams of people attacking him, sometimes coming after his daughter, a 4-year-old who is deaf and still learning sign language. The people are never seen clearly; they are only a clear threat. And Curtis has an understandable desire to do whatever he can to protect this child, who needs special care because she can't hear, say, something that goes bump in the night (or, in the case of Curtis's dreams, always in the daytime). He also has abandonment issues: his mother (Kathy Baker) has been in assisted living since her paranoid schizophrenic diagnosis two and a half decades ago, when she wandered off one day and left him in the car in a parking lot. Curtis begins to make doctor and counselor appointments on the sly, terrified that maybe he's schizophrenic too.
Dreams are often a tired crutch in film, but here they are used with great skill as a means of blurring the line between fiction and reality in one man's mind. We don't know until the very end, indeed the very last minute or so, whether or not Curtis is really crazy. Until then, it almost doesn't even matter: we feel for Curtis, and are afraid for him, either way.
The dreams, in fact, have a fascinating way of getting both less specific and more unnerving as time goes on. After a few brief dream sequences, all he has to do is see his wife in one dream; we don't even have to see the dream end, and we know it can't be good. We always know when he's dreaming, but due to very subtle clues in cinematography: a slow tracking shot moving forward through his house. Most of the dreams are genuinely scary to watch, and Curtis's waking life gets increasingly scary as a result. Not knowing what will happen in a dream, then being unsure of how Curtis will behave when awake, I spent almost the entire film incredibly nervous. I don't usually enjoy that, but I have to hand it to a film that creates such a specific atmosphere so effectively.
The people in the town Curtis lives in start to look at him askance when he goes out of his way to expand the tornado shelter in his backyard. His dreams always start with storms, after all -- sometimes including flocks of birds that fly in strange formations. This is a huge undertaking, something no one but him thinks is necessary, and he even takes out a risky home improvement loan to do it. There's a startlingly effective scene where he's at a public lunch with many townspeople and he goes a little berserk, shouting that he isn't crazy and finally completely losing sight of the fact that he's acting crazier than ever.
The mystery, of course, is whether Curtis is actually on to something, or if he really is just going nuts. I think maybe I could have done without that final shot that fundamentally answers that question -- but then opens the door to a slew of new questions that don't get addressed -- because sometimes it's best to let things remain a mystery. But that's a minor quibble, and honestly a very effective discussion point for anyone having just seen it. In the end, Take Shelter is by turns quietly horrifying and uncomfortably gripping. That certainly makes it stand apart: this could not be said of a lot of movies.
Overall: A-

To celebrate Down Syndrome Awareness Month, My Custom Story is giving you all 10% off any purchase made in October! You can even apply the discount to gift certificates!

I discovered My Custom Story over a year ago - and immediately fell in love. They make super durable board books from your photos, your story. And when I approached them last year about doing a special discount for Ds awareness they jumped at the chance! They are so supportive of our Ds community here!
So why do I love them? Because Sheridan (and all his friends!) love them...
The first book I made had all family members in it, and had the words to the "I love you so much song" you heard me sing to Sheridan before his open heart surgery. Next, I created a book with all of Sheridan's friends in it. He loves both of them!
They are my favorite birthday gift to give - I create one with the birthday boy/girl on the cover and each page has a different friend on it. I even made one for Sofia's homecoming so she could learn about her new friends (you can see the cover of it in this post).
But you can make ANY book you want...
So go check out their new website - by the way, don't be surprised when you see a handsome little boy greet you on the home page :)
And don't forget, you can buy a gift certificate in any amount for 10% off - so if you don't think you'll have the time to get your photos/story together to make a book in the next few weeks, just buy a gift certificate and order the book later!
I love, love, LOVE My Custom Story!
The beauty of raising a genetically-enhanced child - not many people can brag that they have an extra chromosome... Follow the journey of our first-born son, Sheridan Michael, as we travel down a path that looks different than what we imagined, but is far more incredible than we could have ever hoped for.

Oh what a blah last few days!
This last weekend, I sold my first item! I know it might be small, but I am SO excited! That last project I did with the wreath (click here for original post.) over the weekend and sold it that same day! YAY!! I am obviously hoping to do more of THAT.
Also, it is my little sister's 20th Birthday today so......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM! She is one of the most talented, funniest people that I have been privileged to know in my life, and I am so proud of her!
In honor of her Birthday, here is my ALL TIME favorite picture of her.
You're welcome. :)

About an hour or more ago, I put my daughter to bed. After her Jacuzzi bath and follow-up shower, I'd spent about 45 minutes this evening braiding her hair Bo Derek-style. The mornings are rushed, and besides, I'm usually gone by the time she wakes up, so there's no time for hair niceties done by my hand.
But tonight I offered to make her lots of little braids, and let me tell you, we both needed patience for the task to be completed. She grew restless, I grew restless; she needed to stretch her back, I needed to stretch mine. But the end result was a headful of lovely little braids with colorful elastic bands holding them together.
For once my daughter was not so pouty, and more pleased by my stylistic coifs done on her behalf.
But I knew that by the morning the beautiful braids might become disheveled, with straggling hair hanging here and there. The braids would look unkempt and it would be too time-consuming and difficult for this seven-year-old to be up to the task of "putting her best hair forward!" So we sought a solution to try to keep the braids looking equally good in the morning as they did when she went to bed. She requested that I put a head scarf on her, which I've done before. This was something I did when I was young, coming home from the hairdresser, and wearing a head scarf to bed to try to keep the hairstyle intact.
This evening, however, when I tied the scarf around her braids, in a babushka style, I suddenly thought that my daughter had taken on an Old World look--a look of a Polish peasant, perhaps. Perhaps, I thought, she looked like my aunt must have, when she died at age 15 at the hands of the Nazis. My daughter is named for this aunt, my father's adored youngest sister. Of course, there are no photos that were salvaged from before the war years, so I have no clue what this aunt might have looked like. But I know that her name was Marjem, after her father Meir, who died two months before she was born. She was a source of light to her family.
My daughter's middle name is Meriam, and she too, is sweet and adored, and a source of light for our family, as her great-aunt was to my father's family.
May Marjem rest in peace, and l'havdil, may Meriam live a long, healthy and happy life. Amen.

The dealer has the capabilty to correct the resetting that was done in error. I would honestly explain the situation to them and hopefully they will get you back on the right track with the services. If they did it all right, they will do the service and you'll get the car back showing 2 wrenches symbol and 10,000 miles showing on the FSS screen. Hopefully the tech will be on top of things on this system and do it correctly to show this.
IMHO, if you want to do the extra oil changes, that's fine, but leave the FSS indicator to be reset when an actual A or B service is performed, not when just an oil change is done. I'd also like to state that I see no problem with your choice of oil grade. I would be OK with most any Mobil1 oil being used as long as the temps coincide with the viscosity being used.
I am unsure right now, looking back through the posts I can't see what the actual mileage is on the car. If you are over 10,000 I would call the dealer and explain the "accidental" reset that was done and ask if they'll schedule the first A service.

Here's a little teaser video of the bonfire explosion from Kurt Smith's dealer camp cookout before the Rendezvous. Marcus should be done editing his footage soon and we're going to post it on here as well.
Trust me, if you haven't seen Marcus's footage of the fire, you just don't know what you're missing!
I love how Buck says: "Get in there! It's not going to blow up!"
Here's a picture from earlier that night at the cookout.

Quality degrees for affordable fees
Bradford College is committed to delivering quality, affordable degrees. We work hard to cut the cost and not the corners on our undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses. Our tuition fees for the 2017/18 academic year are detailed below. The tuition fee rate per year is fixed for the duration of the course providing there is no break in study.
You will not be asked to pay these fees up front, as you should be eligible for loans to cover the tuition fees and assist with living expenses from Student Finance England. However, please ensure that you have made your application and secured funding for your course prior to registration.
About student finance
**IMPORTANT NOTE: After changes made in Parliament, all higher education providers must now register with a brand new HE Regulator (the Office for Students) for their students to be eligible for support from Student Finance England in the 2019-20 academic year. The OfS will start publishing providers on its Register from July 2018. Bradford College University Centre have made an application to register and expect a decision by July 2018. Whilst we don't anticipate any issues with our registration, no provider will be able to confirm whether student finance is available until it has a decision from the OfS. Visit www.officeforstudents.org.uk for more information. If you have any queries about this, please contact us.**
The Student Finance England application system is open for 18/19 applicants at https://www.gov.uk/apply-online-for-student-finance. If funding is not secured, then you will need to arrange payment of your tuition fees yourself.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND - You couldn't choose a better time to be at the Geneva Motor Show last week than when our camera crew was there to catch Suzuki Motors taking off the tarp covering the new 2010 Alto Concept with its start-stop technology. The image you see is the first ever public photo taken of the 2010 Alto Stop/Start, which has an engine that cuts out at idle to save fuel.
The new Suzuki Alto 2010 Stop/Start has a 996 cc 3-cylinder inline petrol (gasoline) engine with variable valve timing (VVT) that is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The powertrain layout is front engine and front wheel drive. The Suzuki Alto concept car prototype seen in the photo is painted in Suzuki's Arctic White Pearl Metallic paint. Suzuki representatives indicated that the new 2010 Alto has a very respectable CO2 output of only 95 grams/km, which means that it will qualify for tax incentives and special discounts in many European countries, and other parts of the world.
Suzuki engineers are probably hard at work on the design development of the new stop-start engine to make it one of the most fuel efficient on the Planet. No figures were released for 2010 Alto's fuel consumption at Geneva, but considering that the new Alto will have Suzuki's Stop/Start system installed that cuts the engine out at idle and re-starts it when the brake is disengaged, it should have impressive efficiency capability.

This really gets on my nerves - surely record companies should like the fact that people like their artists enough to go look them up on youtube? It's kinda free promotion too - a lot of the music I listen to, I found out through other people's videos. And seriously, who goes into a shop and just decides to pick up a random CD and buy it? You hear some songs from it first, and you like it and then you go check it out! Grr.

Now, the absolute only chance is that a big youtuber mentions you in a video. That's it.

I read today that Ray W Johnson has 600.000+ subscribers and he started when? 1.5 years ago. It's crazy. I'm actually kinda glad I never invested the majority of my time into youtube and just did it for me, because basically, that's what it still is - for me... and my 90 subscribers.

It effected me in a few ways, cause I had uploaded videos with songs owned by them. But I knew I was using copyrighted songs, so it was my own fault - During that time, when people were crying for mass exodus to Dailymotion/Vimeo/etc, I laughed at them. Why would you do that? Youtube are just doing what they have to, to remain legal, etc.

However, I take care of most things internet for my friend's band. I'd set them up a youtube, designed their myspace, got twitter up and running. All that stuff. They took a break just before the summer, before coming back just before christmas. In that time, it turns out, Youtube had decided to delete their youtube account.

Why? I have no idea. I didn't know about it until the bands singer asked me why it was gone. No emails, nothing. All the content on their youtube was their own. Any covers they did, I'd uploaded to my own channel. They weren't massive on youtube by any stretch of the imagination, so it's not a great loss, but still. The fuck?

They now have a dailymotion account, with motionmaker abilities (essentially youtubes partner scheme without the money). I'm sort of just counting down the days until youtube fucks over my channel too, without warning. It probably wouldn't be so bad if you could actually talk to someone at youtube/google about it, instead of sending help emails that don't get answered, or posting on the community forums that are next to useless.

Also, WMG are cunts.

The end.Martin K. Smithhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com

It is with great regret that I inform you… that I have begun red-texting teams in the EBS who have lost in their conference tournaments and are far from the bubble. Muy triste. (I suppose I'll have to come back around to catch the teams that didn't qualify for their conference tournaments, too.)
Not a ton of movement in the top half of the bracket with the mid-week games; most interestingly, the RPI was impressed with Saint Mary's win in Moraga over WAC regular season champ Grand Canyon (who is, alas, still "transitioning" to D1 ((except in terms of on-court results!)) and is not NCAA-eligible) and their shiny 24-6 record. That popped the Gaels up to the 8-line from the 10-line, which is a pretty nice ancillary benefit to staying sharp in the week-long layoff between the end of the WCC slate and their Las Vegas tournament.
San Diego State also spanked New Mexico 83-56 in the Pit, which is impressive in itself. But it's also a B-tier win for the Aztecs, who could use the help in case the MWC tourney (also in Vegas…) doesn't shake out as hoped. Their 22-8/15-2 mark to this point is marred by non-conference losses to San Diego on a neutral court and hosting… Grand Canyon. The EBS boosted SDSU from a 13 to an 11.
The bubble rests at the end of the 12 line in this iteration of the EBS (see here). I'll rattle off the first few teams out, then get the seed lists down after the jump.
First Four Out: Yale, St. Bonaventure, Michigan, Florida State
1s: Kansas, Villanova, Virginia, Oklahoma
2s: North Carolina, Michigan State, Miami, Xavier
3s: West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky, Duke
4s: Maryland, Purdue, Utah, Indiana
5s: California, Iowa State, Iowa, Arizona
6s: Texas A&M, Wichita State, Baylor, Texas
7s: Wisconsin, Texas Tech, Saint Joseph's, Seton Hall
8s: Saint Mary's, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Dayton
9s: Valparaiso, Cincinnati, Arkansas-Little Rock, Connecticut
10s: Tulsa, Pittsburgh, VCU, Colorado
11s: Princeton, Oregon State, San Diego State, Butler
12s: South Carolina, USC, Syracuse, Gonzaga, Florida, Providence
13s: South Dakota State, Monmouth, Akron, Stephen F. Austin
14s: Hofstra, Stony Brook, Hawaii, Chattanooga
15s: UAB, Belmont, New Mexico State, Weber State
16s: Winthrop, North Florida, Lehigh, Wagner, Texas Southern, Hampton

They can see
I had everyone in the van barreling home last week. An old van was on the street with us with its lights on in the back. It was one of those vans that has huge windows on the side in the back. There was a girl, about 8 or 9 years old, reading a book.
She was surrounding by stuff. It towered over her. I couldn't really tell what it was but I thought - smugly - that at least my car didn't have that much junk in it.
Then I was asked from the back,
Do they live in their van?
We talked about how some people don't have enough money to pay for rent or a house. Sometimes people do have to live in their cars, or with their family or in a homeless shelter. I said that we shouldn't assume the people next to us were living in their van but that was a thoughtful question to ask.
So much for being smug.

My First Month
Hi, guys:
This is the end of my first month pumping. Some of you might remember my questions and hesitations before I started. After so many sessions I feel confident and happy with the decision of becoming what I used to consider a horrifying practice.
My size is 7 (bone pressed) x 5.5. The vacuum I have is a hand pump (Mity Vac), the same one used for cars. The cylinder is 1.75" in diameter, which was recommended by some experienced pumpers and even by the manufacturer.
I go up to 5 - 7 in Hg (inches of mercury) in each session, rarely I go over that level although occasionally I tried 10 for a few seconds.
The first 2 thirds of my dick is 5.5" around whereas the 1/3 at the base is like 5.1". My first goal is to be able to make my girth even from base to head and, of course, gain a little more in length.
The thicker part of the shaft fills up the tube real tight but the rest still doesn't touch it. I haven't seen any improvements in length until yesterday, after a good session, when I reached 7.5" (from the base of the cylinder to the tip of my head), which is 1/2" longer than previous sessions. I was happy. Just a little donut swelling but overall good. The way my dick looks inside the cylinder is amazing, and that is a positive effect for motivation, besides the fact that it is supposed to be the way of growing and making some of these changes permanent.
My routine is like 30 min a day or twice a day, if I have time, making pauses of 1 min. Before the pumping I do some hand stretching and use the MaxXtender for 30 to 45 minutes. This device has to be used carefully because it might bring problems to the circulation. I have been avoiding problems by keeping the loop a little loose and releasing the tension often during each session.
So far I am glad I am pumping. I don't see how it would be dangerous to me if I am careful like I've been during this month.
I am looking forward to reporting new positive changes.
Any comments will be appreciated.

Two new, ahem, developments. Jordan wants to wear armour and wield a sword. Yes that's right, a sword. Armour I can handle but weapons I'm not so sure about. For a start, we live in Peckham which has all sorts of knife issues. Not that I'd let Jordan loose outside with a sword you understand, it's just that they aren't toys (which I can't make him understand) and it's practically guaranteed that it would be my eye on the tip of it in the event of an accident. So, Jordan's going around singing 'If I only had a sword..." to the tune of 'If I only had a heart..." from The Wizard of Oz.
In other news, Jordan has tasted beer and likes it! Well, he is 17. He got very giggly and slid off the swivel chair.

Marshall plan
On second thought, that is a pretty good definition of contempt. But no, I was going for another one.
How the hell is Elizabeth Marshall still not in cabinet?
If they did IQ testing on the Tory caucus (and boy, wouldn't that be a fun Access to Information request to make) I have no doubt Marshall would be among the highest in this bunch. I know there was some bashing of her during the election, but hell, it's an election that's what you do during elections. She's the kind of candidate you pray you get when you run a political party - an intelligent, competent, ethical, thoughtful person. As an added bonus she's a woman.
She was good enough to be a Health Minister right out of the gates. Nearly four years later, she's still in the wilderness after standing up to Williams when, oh yeah, she was right to do so.
I know Williams can hold a grudge like no one's business. But honestly, he's really going to keep someone that talented wasting in the backbenches for at least another year or more until there is another shuffle? That's a little beyond vendetta. That rolls right into contempt.
Dave Denine, who has been described by some in Mount Pearl as "a nice enough fella, but has done shit all the past four years" gets to be a minister ahead of Marshall. Ross Wiseman, who is so devoid of personality that my former boss tries not to quote him in her paper for fear that it might put people to sleep and that would be bad for business. He gets to continue as Health Minister.
And so on and so forth. I suspect I could through most of the cabinet and ask how they got in ahead of Marshall. By any standard other than skills at kissing ass, she's more qualified than most of them.
There's something strange going on there. Maybe Marshall doesn't want back in cabinet, although I find that hard to believe. I really have to believe that Williams has that much contempt for her. It would be almost impressive if not quite so sad.

I don't think it is a perfect example of contempt altho it fits the dictionary definition. I think it is a very good example of Williams inability to see past a grudge.
ok I have to be honest I am a PC. Admittedly a pick PC but non-the-less PC. T
he problem is that with such a strong personality leading the party and obviously crushing any dissent we have to ask if this is good for political debate in the PC party and therefore in the larger body politic of the province. At the risk of sounding silly Williams would do well to follow Mao advice and allow "a thousand flowers" to bloom. Newfoundland needs strong leadership - Williams victories over the past years ahve shown the benefit of that. It also requires a strong political debate. We are too small and too marginal to ignore the advantages of innovative stratagies.
We could do an end run around the maritimes to become the leading province east of Quebec. Considering the corrupt political economy in maritimes this is not as farfetched as it may sound.
Anyway Williams immaturity on this issue might not cost him in the short run but it will cost him in the history books. Ignoring a former auditor eneral is too big an act to be left out of the history books. Williams ego may insist that "there can be only one" but his legacy and the political health of the province suggest that he should climb down off his high horse.

SOURCE: Change the thermostat on 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser
Hi, i have put together a step by step guide that will help you with this replacement job. Make sure the vehicle is in a cool state before starting this job.
* Drain some coolant into a clean container until the coolant level is below the thermostat housing.
* Remove the upper radiator hose connection from the thermostat housing.
* Loosen the housing bolts and remove the housing.
* Remove the gasket and scrape it carefully from the surface of the housing and the mounting surface on the engine. If the gasket remains on either of the surfaces, there will probably bea coolant leak after reassembly. Some engines use a rubber O-ring to seal a thermostat housing.
* Compare the size of the thermostat to the old one. They are of different sizes, types, and temperature ratings.
* The temperature rating is stamped on the sensing bulb on the bottom of the thermostat. The temperature bulb faces the block.
* When replacing a thermostat, be sure that the thermostat fits into the groove in the block or outlet housing. If the thermostat is installed upside down, the engine will overheat.
* Install the gasket.
* Reinstall the thermostat housing. Refill the system and run the engine or pressure test to check for leaks.
* When the engine has reached operating temperature make sure the thermostat opens.
* You should be able to see coolant circulating within the radiator.
* Another way of checking thermostat operation is to feel the top of the radiator hose or use a thermometer or multimeter with a temperature probe to confirm that the coolant is warming up.
* If the engine is overheating, but the top hose is still cool to the touch, the thermostat is stuck closed and must be replaced.
When a paper gasket is used and the recess is in the thermostat housing, it is a good practice to position the thermostat into the recess and glue the gasket to hold it in place. If it falls out of its groove during installation, the outlet housing can be cracked or a coolant leak will result. Before tightening the water outlet housing, try to rock it back and forth to be sure it is flush. Housings are often cracked during this step.

United States District Court, N.D. Illinois, Eastern Division
October 10, 2016
In re Testosterone Replacement Therapy Products Liability Litigation Coordinated Pretrial Proceedings No. 14 C 1748
MATTHEW F. KENNELLY United States District Judge.
plaintiffs in this multidistrict litigation proceeding (MDL)
allege that they suffered injuries caused by defendants'
testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) drugs. Defendant
Besins Healthcare, S.A. (Besins) is a Belgian corporation
that manufacturers AndroGel, one of the TRT drugs at issue in
the MDL. Besins moved to dismiss all claims against it for
lack of personal jurisdiction, arguing that it lacks the
requisite minimum contacts with any United States forum
because it manufactures AndroGel in France and does not,
itself, engage in any marketing or sale of the drug within
the United States. In September 2015, the Court deferred
ruling on Besins' motion to allow the parties to engage
in limited discovery related to personal jurisdiction.
See In re Testosterone Replacement Therapy Prod. Liab.
Litig. Coordinated Pretrial Proceedings ("In re
TRT"), 136 F.Supp.3d 968, 976 (N.D. Ill. 2015). The
Court concluded that plaintiffs' allegations regarding a
high volume of AndroGel sales in the United States, as well
as Besins' intention to sell AndroGel throughout the
country, were too general to establish personal jurisdiction.
But the Court determined that those allegations did present a
"colorable" showing of jurisdiction, warranting
further discovery. Id.
did not reveal any information about the volume of AndroGel
sales in particular states or about attempts by Besins or its
distributor to target particular states for marketing or
sales. Plaintiffs have, however, produced evidence that
AndroGel sales in the United States have been substantial.
Over the course of more than 16 years, billions of dollars
worth of AndroGel has been sold nationwide, and Besins'
revenues from United States AndroGel sales exceed $600
million. In addition, though Besins does not appear to have
considerable influence or control over sales and marketing,
its employees receive periodic updates about the United
States market for AndroGel and about sales and marketing
discovery, plaintiffs submitted a supplemental brief opposing
Besins' motion to dismiss, and Besins filed its own
supplemental brief in response. For the reasons discussed
below, plaintiffs' new evidence is sufficient to
establish a prima facie case of personal
jurisdiction, and the Court therefore denies Besins'
motion to dismiss.
establish that this Court has personal jurisdiction over
Besins in this MDL proceeding, plaintiffs bear the burden of
showing that the transferor courts where their cases
originated would have personal jurisdiction over Besins.
See In re TRT, 136 F.Supp.3d at 973. Besins does not
argue that state law in any of the transferor forums
precludes jurisdiction. Rather, as it did prior to discovery,
Besins confines its jurisdictional argument to the contention
that exercising jurisdiction would not comport with due
process because plaintiffs have not shown that Besins had
sufficient minimum contacts with any of the states in which
the transferor courts sit. Plaintiffs, for their part, again
respond that Besins' suit-related conduct is sufficiently
connected to those forum states to allow courts in those
states-and therefore this Court-to exercise specific
jurisdiction over Besins. See Id . at 973-74
(discussing difference between specific and general personal
jurisdiction). In the absence of a jurisdictional evidentiary
hearing (and none has been requested in this case),
plaintiffs need only make out a prima facie case
that jurisdiction exists. Id. at 973.
specific jurisdiction inquiry, as Besins emphasizes, is
forum-specific, and the exercise of specific jurisdiction is
proper only if the "defendant's suit-related conduct
. . . create[s] a substantial connection with the forum
State." Walden v. Fiore, 134 S.Ct. 1115, 1121
(2014). As a general rule, for the exercise of personal
jurisdiction to be proper, "there [must] be some act by
which the defendant purposefully avails itself of the
privilege of conducting activities within the forum State,
thus invoking the benefits and protections of its laws."
Hanson v. Denckla, 357 U.S. 235, 254 (1958). In the
products liability context, the Supreme Court has also
determined that courts may properly exercise jurisdiction
over a foreign corporation where the foreign defendant
"delivers its products into the stream of commerce with
the expectation that they will be purchased by consumers in
the forum State." World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v.
Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 298 (1980). But following
World-Wide Volkswagen, the Supreme Court has
struggled to reach consensus about what constitutes
"purposeful availment" in cases where a foreign
defendant places its products into the stream of commerce.
Court grappled with that issue in Asahi Metal Industry
Co. v. Superior Court of California, Solano County, 480
U.S. 102 (1987), where a plaintiff who was injured in a
motorcycle accident in California brought suit in California
state court against the Japanese manufacturer of his
allegedly defective motorcycle tires. Though the Court
unanimously agreed that the California court lacked
jurisdiction over the foreign manufacturer, the case produced
competing formulations of the appropriate test for purposeful
availment in stream-of-commerce cases, and none of the
formulations gained the support of a majority of the
justices. Justice O'Connor, joined by three other
justices, reasoned that "placement of a product into the
stream of commerce, without more, is not an act of the
defendant purposefully directed toward the forum State."
Id. at 112. Under Justice O'Connor's
approach, a court may exercise jurisdiction in such
circumstances only if the defendant has engaged in some
"additional conduct" indicating an intent to serve
the market in the forum state, such as state-specific design,
advertising, communication, or distribution agreements.
majority of the justices in Asahi did not endorse
Justice O'Connor's proposed approach, however.
Justice Brennan, whose concurring opinion was also joined by
three other justices, rejected the notion that
"additional conduct" was necessary to establish a
defendant's purposeful availment of the forum state's
market. Id. at 116 (Brennan, J., concurring in part
and concurring in judgment). Instead, under his approach, a
participant in the stream of commerce-that is, in "the
regular and anticipated flow of products from manufacture to
distribution to retail sale"-is properly subject to
jurisdiction as long as that participant is "aware that
the final product is being marketed in the forum State."
Id. at 117. Justice Stevens, for his part, believed
it was unnecessary to articulate a test for "purposeful
availment, " concluding that the case before the Court
could be decided on the basis that exercising jurisdiction
under the circumstances would be "unreasonable and
unfair." Id. at 122 (Stevens, J., concurring in
part and concurring in judgment). Yet, in a concurring
opinion joined by two other justices, Justice Stevens still
offered his opinion that whether a defendant's conduct
rises to the level of purposeful availment will be affected
by "the volume, the value, and the hazardous character
of the components" being placed into the stream of
commerce. Id. Thus Justice Stevens "would be
inclined to conclude that a regular course of dealing that
results in a deliveries of over 100, 000 units annually over
a period of several years would constitute 'purposeful
availment'" of the forum's market. Id.
Asahi, some circuit courts decided to adopt one of
Justice O'Connor's or Justice Brennan's competing
approaches. See, e.g., Barone v. Rich Bros.
Interstate Display Fireworks Co., 25 F.3d 610, 614 (8th
Cir. 1994) (adopting an approach consistent with Justice
Brennan's opinion); Bridgeport Music, Inc. v. Still N
The Water Pub., 327 F.3d 472, 480 (6th Cir. 2003)
(adopting Justice O'Connor's "stream of commerce
'plus'" approach). Other circuits have declined
to adopt either approach. See, e.g., Pennzoil
Prod. Co. v. Colelli & Assocs., Inc., 149 F.3d 197,
207 (3d Cir. 1998) (applying both Justice O'Connor's
and Justice Brennan's standards, without choosing between
them). In the Seventh Circuit, the court has said that it
would continue applying the "more permissive stream of
commerce theory, " instead of Justice O'Connor's
"more stringent" test, because a majority of the
Supreme Court has not rejected the more permissive approach.
Dehmlow v. Austin Fireworks, 963 F.2d 941, 947 (7th
Cir. 1992). In a more recent opinion, however, the Seventh
Circuit expressly declined to resolve the question of
"whether a plaintiff making a stream-of-commerce
argument needs to make an additional showing that the
defendant purposefully directed its business activities
toward the forum state." Jennings v. AC Hydraulic
A/S, 383 F.3d 546, 552 (7th Cir. 2004).
J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro, 564 U.S.
873 (2011), the Supreme Court had the opportunity to revisit
the issue of the appropriate test to apply in conducting the
stream-of-commerce analysis. But, as in Asahi, no
opinion in Nicastro commanded a majority of the
justices. The defendant in Nicastro was a British
corporation that manufactured scrap metal machines in England
and sold them throughout the United States via an independent
distributor. Id. at 878. The plaintiff in that case
injured his hand while using one of the machines in New
Jersey, and he brought suit in New Jersey state court.
Id. Though no more than four of the defendant's
machines-and possibly only one-ended up in New Jersey, the
New Jersey Supreme Court ultimately ruled that jurisdiction
was proper under the "stream-of-commerce doctrine"
because (1) the injury occurred in New Jersey, (2) the
defendant knew or reasonably should have known that
distributing its products through a nationwide distribution
system might lead to those products being sold in any of the
fifty states, and (3) the defendant took no steps to prevent
distribution of its products in New Jersey. Id. at
879. The Court reversed the judgment of the New Jersey
Supreme Court. Writing for a plurality of the Court, Justice
Kennedy denied that a personal jurisdiction rule "based
on general notions of fairness and foreseeability" could
be consistent with "the premises of lawful judicial
power." Id. at 883. Justice Kennedy thus
rejected the New Jersey Supreme Court's
stream-of-commerce analysis, as well as Justice Brennan's
approach in Asahi. Id. According to Justice
Kennedy, the "authority to subject a defendant to
judgment depends on purposeful availment, consistent with
Justice O'Connor's opinion in Asahi."
Id. at 885.
a majority of the justices did not support Justice
Kennedy's opinion, it is not controlling. Rather, Justice
Breyer's narrow concurrence provides the Court's
holding in Nicastro. See In re TRT, 136
F.Supp.3d at 975 n.1. In that concurrence, joined by Justice
Alito, Justice Breyer declined to endorse any of the separate
opinions from Asahi. See Nicastro, 564 U.S.
at 889 (Breyer, J., concurring in judgment). In Justice
Breyer's view, the "single isolated sale" in
New Jersey would be an insufficient basis for jurisdiction
under any of the Asahi opinions. Id. at
888-889. Jurisdiction would be improper under the approaches
of Justice Brennan and Justice Stevens, he explained, because
the record showed no "regular . . . flow of products,
" Asahi, 480 U.S. at 117 (Brennan, J.,
concurring in part and concurring in judgment), and no
"regular course" of sales, id. at 122
(Stevens, J., concurring in part and concurring in judgment),
in New Jersey. Nicastro, 564 U.S. at 889 (Breyer,
J., concurring in judgment). And the record revealed "no
'something more, ' such as special state-related
design, advertising, advice, marketing, or anything else,
" as would be required under Justice O'Connor's
approach. Id. Justice Breyer's narrow holding
thus makes clear that "at a minimum, a plaintiff trying
to establish jurisdiction over a foreign corporation must
show a 'regular flow or regular course of sales' in
the forum state, or some additional efforts directed toward
the forum state." Williams v. Romarm, SA, 756
F.3d 777, 785 (D.C. Cir. 2014). But apart from this
clarification, as the Federal Circuit has explained,
"the crux of Justice Breyer's concurrence was that
the Supreme Court's framework applying the
stream-of-commerce theory-including the conflicting
articulations of that theory in Asahi-had not
changed . . . ." AFTG-TG, LLC v. Nuvoton Tech.
Corp., 689 F.3d 1358, 1363 (Fed. Cir. 2012). The Federal
Circuit concluded, therefore, that it must continue to apply
its own precedents after Nicastro. Id. at
indicated above, the Seventh Circuit has not taken a position
on the appropriate stream-of-commerce test, except to the
extent that the court in Dehmlow indicated that it
would continue applying Justice Brennan's "more
permissive" stream-of-commerce approach until a majority
of the Supreme Court rejected it. See Dehmlow, 963
F.2d at 947. Thus both Nicastro and Seventh Circuit
precedent leave open the possibility that a foreign
manufacturer, who places its product into the stream of
commerce in the United States, may be subject to jurisdiction
in a state where that product causes an injury and where
there is a regular flow of its product or regular course of
sales in that state.
on the evidence plaintiffs have presented in this case, the
Court concludes that plaintiffs have made a prima
facie showing that Besins purposefully availed itself of
the privilege of conducting activities in each of the forum
states at issue. Plaintiffs' discovery revealed that
AndroGel has been sold in the United States for over sixteen
years, with over $4 billion in net sales in the country
between 2011 and mid-2015. Besins itself has received over
$600 million in AndroGel royalty payments from sales in the
United States. Such a high volume of sales over many years is
a far cry from the "isolated sale" at issue in
Nicastro. Nicastro, 564 U.S. at 888
(Breyer, J., concurring in judgment). From these figures, as
well as from plaintiffs' evidence that Besins employees
received regular updates on the United States market and
sales of AndroGel, the Court can reasonably infer that ...
