Putting Together A Weekend Racer?
Thanks go to JParkr for making this a sticky!
First and foremost, SEAT TIME is the best bang for your buck. It won't really matter if you bolt everything listed below onto a car that you have no experience in, let alone no experience on track at all. Becoming a good driver requires seat time and an open mind with a willingness to learn. So LEARN at every opportunity that presents itself! Also, lose some weight. Hit the treadmill, get on your bike, go run, eat less and healthier... Take care of yourself and you'll not only feel better in many aspects of your life, but you won't get winded after a half-hour session on track.
Figured I'd start at the bottom of the car and work my way up, since that seems to be where most of the wear items are....
- Control Arm Bushings (CABs) x2 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/powerfl...shing-p90.aspx
* Powerflex Control Arm Bushings - $65 for centered, $75 for offset
Available from Bimmerworld pre-installed in new CA's or just bushings
- Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (RTABs) x4 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/powerfl...hing-p733.aspx
* Powerflex Rear Trailing Arm Bushings - $140 for the 80A purple durability which is 25% stiffer than stock, or $160 for the 95A black bushings which are more oriented toward more track specific car, available from Bimmerworld
- Subframe Bushings x2 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/categor...ushing&x=0&y=0
* Powerflex Rear Subframe Mount Kit, Purple 80A stiffness for $105, Black 95A for $120, and aluminum mounting kit for $300. All available from Bimmerworld
- Differential Bushing x1 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/powerfl...ount-p710.aspx
* Powerflex Differential Bushing kit, Yellow 70A for $60 and the Black 95A for $60, available from Bimmerworld
- Transmission Mounts x2
* I would suggest supporting a local member here, Silence, who creates and sells a quality transmission and motor mount. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=165543 . $30 shipped for a set of transmission mounts, or $70 shipped for the kit.
- Motor Mounts x2
* See above! Silence's motor and trans mounts. $45 for the motor mounts, shipped, or $70 for motor and trans shipped.
- Swaybar Kit = http://store.bimmerworld.com/bimmerw...ges-p1408.aspx
* Bimmerworld created an E30 sway bar kit that seems like a quality kit. You can buy just a front or rear bar, or you can buy the whole kit which includes front and rear bars, spherical end links, mounts w/ powerflex bushings and weld-in reinforcements. Everything you need to solidify the swaybar situation on your car. $450 for the kit, less if you opt for less options.
- Tie Rods w/ new ball joints x2
* Lets stick with OEM tie rods. It was suggested that you wrap the ball joints in a heat reflective material to protect from brake heat.
- Hubs x4
* Would suggest OEM replacements
- Wheel Bearings x4
* Would suggest OEM replacements
- Guibo
* Would suggest OEM replacements
- Center Support Bearing (CSB)
* Would suggest OEM replacements
- Upper Strut Mounts
* Any suggestions?
- Control Arms w/ new ball joints x2
* OEM replacements available from Bimmerworld w/ various options. You can have Powerflex bushings pre-installed in new housings, Treehouse Racing "eyeball" mounts installed, etc... Check Bimmerworld for pricing / combos
- Wheel studs x16 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/bimmerw...age-p1350.aspx
* Bimmerworld Wheel Stud Package includes 75mm bulletnose studs and accompanying lug nuts. Available with chrome or anodized black lugs, 4 and 5 lug configurations. Pricing from $85 - $115 depending on # of studs needed and type of lugs.
- Brake Rotors x4
* OEM replacement / blanks seem to be most popular
- Track Pads x4 corners
* Hawk's HT-10s are popular as are the new PFC 06 compounds.
- Stainless Brake Lines x6 = http://store.bimmerworld.com/bimmerw...its-p1529.aspx
* Bimmerworld V2 Stainless Brake Line Kit available for $120. 6 lines, 2 front, 2 rear outer and 2 rear inner lines.
- Brake Fluid
* ATE Super Blue / Gold are popular, as are the Motul offerings.
- Motor Oil
* Preference of owner
- Motor Oil Filter
* OEM is fine
- Transmission Fluid
* Not sure what's available
- Differential Fluid
* Not sure what's available
- Fuel Filter
* OEM replacement
- Fuel Pump
* OEM replacement is probably fine for most applications, though there is a Walbro 255lph option. If I remember correctly they run ~$100 for the pump and install kit.
- Exhaust
* Could leave it stock, add a muffler (magnaflow, flowmaster, etc.) or do a full exhaust, custom or pre-made depending on $$ and what motor you're running. Purchase new gaskets and exhaust mounts
- Brake ducting and remove dust shields = http://store.bimmerworld.com/brake-c...parts-p45.aspx
* Bimmerworld has put together a variety of options including ducts, flanges, and hosing (apparently it's some special hose). You can purchase the full kit or you can piece it together from Bimmerworld and buy your own hose. Or piece together and custom build your own, but it seems like removal of the heat / dust shields are highly recommended as well as running some form of cooling / ducting for the brake system.
- Reinforcements = http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-13...e-for-e30.aspx
* Turner Motorsports offers the best option here. Their reinforcement package includes front subframe, rear swaybar / swaybar tabs, and rear lower sway bar tabs. Requires welding but eliminates the typical weak points in the e30 chassis.
- Coolant
* It has been suggested running water + water wetter.
- Power Steering fluid
* Not sure what's available
- Short shift kit and replace all the bushings = http://www.blunttech.com/?page_id=310
* Blunt on r3v offers a shift kit package for $180 which comes with all you need to replace the bushings / mounting in the shifter assembly as well as a shorter lever and a ZHP knob
- Remove A/C if it's not working
- Roll Bar or full cage depending on your preference and what you can afford
- Fixed back bucket
* Many options from Sparco, Recaro, Corbeau. Fixed back seats are suggested
- Harness
* Many options again.
- Remove rubber pedal covers and cover pedals with grip tape as suggested by a r3v member
- Steering wheel and a quick release hub
* Many options here as well. I haven't researched any of the options at this time.
- Strip out sunroof and tac weld skin in place, silicone it shut
- E36 Steering Rack
* Heavily debated topic with tons of misinformation, but I think wh33lhop put together a very informative thread.
* Wh33lhop's Thread : http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=172261
* There's plenty of options for adding more power. You can stay with the M20 M42, or swap in an M30, M5X, S5X, throw a turbo at any of the above, or supercharge em. The most popular is a 24v swap and there's PLENTY of information and threads floating around to get everything you need.
- Coilovers
* AST or Ground-Control seem to be the most popular / readily available options. You don't need coilovers, but if you can, why not?
- Wheels and Tires
* There are several options available here as well. Personally I run 15x8 TR C1 wheels w/ 225/45-15 Hankook RS-3s and love them. Kosei is popular as are the D-Force wheels. It's not unwise to opt for metal valve stems that will withstand more abuse than regular rubber valve stems.
- Chip / Tuning
* For a stock motor as well as some swaps, Mark D offers chips and he is a very popular option. With various swaps, I know you can get chips from TRM or go the DIY route with Megasquirt or various other options
** Don't forget general maint. on whatever you're running, such as timing belts / chains, power steering and water pumps, acce. belts, etc. etc. etc. Make sure everything is connected / secured properly and there's no half-assed install that will possibly cause problems at the track.

Do you plan to race it seriously at scca events and such or just the occasional open track day?

Well, the purpose of my car's going to be lapping days, school, and NASA / SCCA Time Trials. No club racing, yet. And this isn't necessarily specific to my car, just maybe prepping a car that would have similar purposes as my car since I think time trials is about as far as most people can afford to participate in.

Haha pretty much what I'm doing. Make a toy I can drive to the track, uncomfortable as it may be.
Of the things you've listed, like sway bar mount bushings, look into upgrades, like beefy sway bars and beefy mount brackets. Might as well while you're there, if you can justify the price. Another example is the Z3 diff back, which has more fins for better cooling.
That said, no need to do everything at once.
You could also ditch the engine fan and swap in an electric fan, or if you do remove the A/C you can convert the A/C condenser fan using M3 evo 3 brackets to mount it.
As well, I believe the Z3 1.9 steering rack is the quickest BMW rack you can put into the e30. Faster than any e36 rack. But it has a lot to do with preference as well. There's also a few aftermarket options that are just as fast.

If you are going to turn the car into a "weekend racer" you should consider building the car towards a recognized class, even if you never intend to race it. The advantages of doing that include a better resale value if you decide to get rid of it, the ability to directly compare lap times with racers, and the availability of "coaches" from the race community. On the west coast, Pro3 is probably the largest group with Spec E30 as the next largest group. For the rest of the country Spec E30 has the largest population.
Your list looks pretty good, though I'd say to go with a full cage rather than a roll bar, keep the stock rack, and consider the Spec E30 suspension rather than coil overs. I'd also keep the stock engine.
The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

I just did all of that minus the motor swap in the last 2 months on jackstands (so tiring..)
also I just ditched the power steering and the AC completely..
As J Levie suggested I built the car to Spec e30 specs, minus the cage (which I dont have the money for now). Im going to DE it for a few months then race it after the cage goes in. Can't wait!
best of luck with your build and good idea for a post.. Im sure it will be helpful for many who are looking to track their e30..

you forgot the Turner J-stock combo. I would think adding to additional information would be the
- repacking of grease in fresh wheel bearings
- wrapping your tie rod and ball joints in heat reflective material to help combat the heat put off by the brakes

Just some perspective for all the posters:
there is NO SpecE30 presence out here. None. The only wheel to wheel racing out here is the occasional SpecM3, Smash Miata, and sometimes GTS-* classes. No BMWCCA. No real NASA. We have a strong Time Trials program, but there is no competitive racing out here that an E30 has any chance in. There's a higher chance of being runover by a rampaging elephant than of having a SpecE30 race or beyond 2 SE30 cars out here. There are two other SE30 cars locally that I know of, but the owners have to trailer the cars for hundreds of miles to get to a race with half decent participation. Building for SpecE30 out here is like expecting a dead horse to come back from the dead.
Also, Bishop already has GC coilovers, so ditching them and going to SE30 suspension or J-stock would be pretty dumb.
Ben, I'd do your list pretty much as you wrote it.

Autocross here is very competitive, and mostly for shits and giggles.

I don't think there can really be a definitive list. Let's face it some peoples weekend track day warrior has more money into it than some race cars, and vica versa.
It all comes down to budget, or the willingness to spend. Case in point my rroad car/ play thing. Has AP 5000+ brakes, tubular front suspension, 240 R Comps all around, and it's it's lowered, with bump steer spacers, roll centre... etc.
Now to some that's hard core race car stuff, but for me it works perfectly on my road car. Although I must add that much of it was developed for my widebody race car.

K, this thread isn't meant to be "help me put MY car together." This was meant, in general, what you guys think should be and would benefit from being replaced on a weekend warrior, time trials, DD, combo kind of car. You can build it to a spec class, you can pick and choose from what you want... BUT, the goal of the thread was to list wear items or what would benefit from an upgrade for track use, name some favorite brands, and where you can possibly pick them up. If you feel something is unnecessary on the car, then post that. If I'm missing something, post that. Yes, I have GC's, but not sure for how much longer. Again.... NOT SPECIFIC TO MY CAR.... If someone JUST wants to do bushings, great, here in this thread is a list of the bushings on the e30, and hopefully people will have suggestions / preferences of what type / brand and where to get em... etc.... Does that make a little more sense, or am I going to have to make a similar post later on in the thread? Not trying to be a dick lol... and yeah, there's no SE30 presence out here, so for ME... I'd probably be building for a TT car, no interest in wheel to wheel in the e30.... So a roll bar and coilovers would be checked off on MY list for MY car... YMMV

HONG KONG (Reuters Breakingviews) - BHP has checked the right boxes in naming former packaging executive Ken MacKenzie as chairman. The 53-year old Canadian lopped heads and boosted returns at his last job, and was unsentimental about weak business lines. Activist investor Elliott is pleased. Other shareholders should be too.
Elliott is rightly critical of BHP's lacklustre market performance, in particular compared to archrival Rio Tinto. Rio's Australian-listed shares are up around 10 percent in the last five years where BHP has fallen about 20 percent.
Graphic: BHP versus Rio: reut.rs/2rCI2oW
The hedge fund attacked poor decisions including "disastrous acquisitions" and badly timed buybacks, as well as an inefficient dual-listing structure. It estimated an overhaul could increase shareholder value by nearly 50 percent. BHP argued the costs of Elliott's plan outweighed the benefits, and Elliott has since backed away from the move to consolidate the listing structure.
The appointment does not necessarily mean surrender to the rest of the activist's agenda. Most notably, BHP may still keep its U.S. oil business, rather than spinning it off. But hiring MacKenzie makes sense whether one agrees with Elliott's specific proposals or not.
MacKenzie's record turning around Amcor, an $14 billion Australian food and industrial packager, offers a clue to how he could behave at BHP. An engineer by training, he came out of the corner swinging an axe, replacing 75 percent of the firm's top 80 managers in his first two years. In 2013 he demerged Amcor's Australasian paper and packaging and U.S. distribution businesses, while snapping up a packaging company from Rio for a low price. Returns on capital doubled to 20 percent; Amcor's share price is up 140 percent since 2012.
MacKenzie has been on BHP's board since September, so he has met with Elliott already and has an idea of what the challenges are. The track record is not necessarily a perfect guide to future performance: manufacturing is a very different business from commodities, subject to a different set of macroeconomic headwinds. And BHP is a very politicized Australian beast, which might limit his room for manoeuvre. But at least he appears to have broad support to make dramatic change.

This rich Chocolate Orange Gateaux was created for Hubby A's birthday this week. It's been a cake in the planning for a few weeks now, and I'm happy with the result.
A run down of the flavours: Chocolate genoise sponge is liberally soaked with a cointreau and orange syrup, Rich dark chocolate mousse infused with fresh orange. The gateaux is topped with an orange gel, and decorated with Chantilly cream flavoured with cointreau and orange oil, a dark chocolate cake collar, and toffee shards/shapes.
This rich chocolate sponge cake was a development from the Experimental mocha torte I posted earlier- in particular improving the mousse filling consistency, and selecting the best flavoured chocolate as the base for this recipe.
I ran out of time to create a new cream design on the top, so I just used an old standard design. I was preparing dinner as well, usually I bake tortes or gateaux cakes a day before to let the flavours meld. However we had other engagements that day, so the pressure was on 😛 (Just to share with you, dinner was Roast rib eye beef with a hazelnut, bacon and fresh herb crust, red wine and mushroom sauce, creamy mashed potato and steamed vegies- so you can see my time was limited, but Hubby A was well chuffed and stuffed! 😉 )
So, grab big cup of coffee or tea and join me in this baking journey....it's a long post, as I'm including the recipe and pics. I hope you enjoy your read...And YES, it was really, really rich and delicious.
I'm going to write the recipe in the overall order of procedures for making the cake.
Chocolate Genoise Sponge
1) Bake genoise sponge cake, following my recipe at an earlier post. I added 3 large tablespoons of best quality dutch cocoa powder to the plain flour and sifted it twice before sifting it finally into the batter. This is important, as you want a smooth and even colouring of cocoa throughout the batter. If it's not sifted thoroughly you may end up over beating the batter and then deflating the air you've beaten into the eggs and sugar mix.
2) Once the cake has been cooled, cut in half and liberally brush with cointreau syrup. You will have some cake left over to make an extra layer, and you'll have enough filling to do so. I usually like to have more than one filling layer, but for this cake I used one...totally up to you.
TIP:To stop your sponge layers from sticking to baking paper. Sprinkle the paper with caster sugar before you place the sponge layer onto it. The fine grains of sugar stop the sponge from sticking, and they won't be crunchy in your filling later.
TIP:You could even prepare the cake up to this step the day before filling and creaming the cake. Put the other layer of cake on top, with the baking paper in between, then put into a plastic cake carry all and leave in the fridge overnight. I always return the cake to this carrier in between layering the cake, as discussed in this recipe.
Cointreau Syrup:
1) Boil freshly squeezed juice of 1 orange with 3 tablespoons of catser sugar, until the sugar has dissolved.
2) Once cooled, add 3 tablespoons of cointreau or any other orange liqueur.
TIP: I always use a silicone brush for applying the syrup to the cake as it doesn't lose hairs, and doesn't retain smells. I also put this brush in a safe place so that no one uses it for marinades for meats etc- just to be on the safe side .
3) Line the tin with plastic food wrap, this is important for holding and setting the mousse layers. Place the thickest layer of sponge, usually a base layer at the bottom of the tin, as shown in the photo above.
Chocolate Orange Mousse:
This is a custard mousse, but without eggs like you would use to make a proper custard. I find this method works well in all weather conditions like humidity, it's more forgiving. It also doesn't use raw eggs in the mousse. I've also used this mousse filling as a dessert in glasses with biscotti and as a cupcake filling.
1) In a medium sized saucepan, add 450 mL of full cream milk and 200g of Lindt 70% dark cooking chocolate. Heat until chocolate has melted thoroughly.
2) Add the rind of 1/2 an orange to this mixture.
3) Mix 100g of Chocolate pudding powder (I use Oetker or Ruff brand, alternatively you could use vanilla custard powder mixed with 2 tablespoons of cocoa) with 3 tablespoons of vanillin sugar and 50mL of full cream milk. Mix to a paste, then add to pot mixture, stir over a low heat until thick.
4) Remove pot from heat and pour custard into a fine sieve to strain out any lumps and the orange rind. The rind will have infused it's flavour into the custard.
5) Cover custard with some plastic wrap or a sheet of baking paper, so that it doesn't form a skin. Allow to cool. I used my freezer to cool it down, checking regularly that it doesn't freeze!
6) Whip 200mL of thickened full fat cream with a little icing sugar if you feel the custard wasn't sweet enough. It should be whipped until stiffened and globby. Add to cooled custard and hand whisk through, until all of the cream is incorporated thoroughly.
7) Mix 2 teaspoons of gelatine with approximately 60mL of boiling water. Add to custard mix, it will separate a little at first, but whisk through thoroughly. Pour some of the filling onto one layer of cake. Put into freezer or fridge for about 8 minutes, then add another layer of cake if you wish, and repeat the filling. Return cake to fridge until you're ready to add the gel layer.
Orange Gel:
1) To a small pot add the juice of 1 orange and the rind of that orange. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar, depending on how sour the orange is. Bring to the boil, until the sugar is dissolved, and continue boiling until the syrup starts to reduce.
2) Strain liquid, and return to heat. I use a product called Tortenguss by Ruff or Oetker, it's a clear gelling agent
I added 1/2 a packet of this to the pot, and whisk until thickened. The colour will go from cloudy to clear. Pour gel onto the top of your cake. It will set quickly, so work quickly.
3) Return cake to fridge.
Chantilly Cream:
1) Whip 200mL of thickened cream with a tablespoon of icing sugar, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of cointreau and a 1/2 teaspoon of orange oil. Whip until thick. Add to piping bag and put into a long container, and leave until later.
You could make this toffee the day before.
1) Add 200mL of water to 1 cup of caster sugar. Slowly bring to the boil. Do not stir, just swish the pot a little ever now and then. Do not leave toffee unattended. Keep the sugar syrup on the heat until it starts to just go a yellowy brown, remove from the heat and pour over a mould, as shown in the picture (the paper has been draped over a rolling pin). Allow to set and harden.
2) Gently break up pieces.
Chocolate Collar:
1) Prepare a long strip of baking paper that will go around the circumference of your cake. I placed extra baking paper down under this strip, so that I don't have clean chocolate off the bench.
2) Melt 200g of Lindt 70% dark cooking chocolate, then using a spatula, evenly spread the melted chocolate over the strip. Gently pick up the strip and wrap around your cake, pinching the ends together.
3) Allow chocolate to set- I returned it to the fridge to speed this up. Remove baking paper carefully. You can break the top edges as I have done, as this compliments the visual of the shards of toffee in the central design.
1) Pipe your cream design and arrange the toffee on top of the gel. Return to the fridge until ready to eat.
2) If you're going to eat the cake that day, it's okay to add the toffee. If you're making this cake the day before, add toffee before serving otherwise it will soften in the cream and gel. Store unused toffee in a clean glasses jar, and use for some other topping at a later date, or eat it .
Thanks for reading this recipe through to the end...I hope it was worth it . I'd love to hear your comments, particularly if you've had a go at this recipe.

Downtown History Walk
October 14, 2017 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am

Kristen's Customs…Figment!
Hello again everyone! I hope you enjoyed reading last week's column, Kristen's Customs…Do You Want to Build a Snowman. Today I will be showing you my first 9" custom Vinylmation! This is a favorite of mine since it is one of my favorite Disney characters!
This 9" custom is Figment by Vinylmation Customations by Heather. I have loved Figment ever since my first trip to Epcot Center in 1985! He was always one of my favorite Disney characters! When I saw the 9" Figment that she had created on her website, I knew I had to have it! It is such a simple custom and that is what makes it perfect! He is the centerpiece to my Epcot collection!
This was my first 9" custom and my first custom from Heather. I have more of Heather's work in my collection and I will be showing you more of them in the future. To see more of her custom Vinylmations check out her various pages and store here:

Luxe Rachel Zoe Faux Fur Snood with Lining is rated out of 5 by 19.
Rated 2 out of 5 by marebear_56 from NOT a Snood! A real snood protects both your neck AND your head - this does not. When you pull it up over your head from the back, your neck is left open to the elements. If it were deeper it would work as a real snood. I'm keeping mine though and using it as an infinity scarf to fill in the gap at the neckline of my winter coat without pulling it up. ...I love a previous review that says it looks like a dead animal on the lady's head - it kinda does! LOL

Rated 1 out of 5 by docshopper from Didn't like the Daniel Boone look I ordered this snood because it looked so lovely on the model, and I thought it would be a practical purchase for colder weather. But there are two things about it which make it unusable for me. First, it has no ties on either end of the snood, so you can't secure it to your head--a strong wind would blow it right off. My second problem was aesthetic. Instead of draping gracefully around the neck and shoulders it just lay there in a heap. I looked as though I'd shot a beaver and plopped it down on my head. Back it went.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Denise from COLOR & SIZE NOT COMFORTABLE BUT VERY WARM! I may keep it, not sure. Had my hair in a bun and it messed it up after taking it off at the doctors office. I could hear him thinking, almost....where did that "red" fur come from? And so much! Well, not totally red but not cognac either. A dark strawberry blonde. I have all 3 of her lined fur vests w/ the lines around it and the pockets and large collar; none better! I have different styles and hers can be worn under a coat. Not easy with the other vests and you don't want a coat w/ a fur collar to wear w/ any vest, so there you go. I will keep because of the price and quality and warmth. The vest: I am a 38 bust and wear a small. The snood will fit any size head I believe; My hair is down to my waist, I wear a size small/tall and it is a little large. Not bad. Just don't match w/ cognac vest; won't work! It is a color unto itself. I personally Have never seen a color like this.

Rated 5 out of 5 by delightfuldiva from Luv the look, fit, comfort and price of this hood If you want to look glamorous while fighting the cold, then this piece fits the bill. I waited too late to get the black, but the cognac works better for my coloring and is great when worn with my black outerwear. It is warm and I love the way it feels and looks when I scrunch it down over my long neck. I hope this comes back in other colors....it's a winner in my book and on my fashionista head!

Rated 2 out of 5 by sharpcookie from One size does no fit all Let me say the quality is there, but the fit is nowhere. I am short and my neck is not long, like the other gal said, when I put it over the top of my head my neck gets exposed if it is not placed just right, and the models have much longer necks than me. It is a bit overwhelming for a small woman, but it is a nice warm furry thing for winter, it just looks very odd on. Good for walks in bad weather where warmth not fashion counts. Sorry Rachel, you need fit models for real people. two stars for quality.

I've recently developed an unhealthy love of Instagram. It has officially knocked the formerly beloved Twitter out of my "#1 Social Media Platform" spot. I'm on it nearly every day. Several times a day. Ahem.
I love it because it's not as constricting, as far as folks staying 100% within their niche, 100% of the time.
I've gotten to see different sides of my blogging friends, and connect with others I might not have crossed paths with elsewhere.
So, I thought I'd take a moment to share some Instagrammers I follow, who've caught my eye for a variety of reasons. In no particular order…
Instagrammers To Follow
I've known Jamie for years. In fact she's the official 2:1 Conference photographer. She's always taken great photos. But lately I've truly enjoyed her fitness photos. She's been on a journey to get fit, encourage others to do the same, and become a personal trainer! If that's not enough, she blogs at See Jamie Blog, is passionate about adoption, and has two of the sweetest dogs you'll ever see.
Colleen is another 2:1 team sweetheart I'm blessed to call friend. But she's more than sweet. She's smart as a whip. Colleen has a seemingly unending supply of creative ideas for homeschooling gifted children and occupying little hands. You might already know her from Raising Lifelong Learners. She is a wealth of knowledge, and shares that knowledge freely.
I've never met Paddles Towards The Sun, and I cannot pronounce her name. But, I remember when I first followed her after stumbling across a gorgeous water shot she took from her kayak. If you love jaw-droppingly gorgeous photos of nature, and aquatic nature, check her out. Sometimes she even shares really neat video from microscopic creatures found on her outings.
Tiffany is another one of my favorite fitness junkies to follow. She is a Beachbody coach and Encouragement should be her middle name. Always upbeat and fun, she helps keep me on track and stay motivated. You'll love her contagious smile, fitness motivation and humble heart. It's clear her goal is to help followers be the best they can be. As she always says #BeASizeYOU.
I've known Tonya since a blogger's group from way back. She used to homeschool, but her children have all graduated. Tonya is a travel blogger that is always on the move somewhere! Her main area of travel is in Ohio, but she will often visit surrounding states. I love to stalk her feed because she has an eye for funky, eclectic sights you won't see from other travel bloggers. Fun!
I love to follow Laura because I learn so much from her. This girl is brand savvy! She shares her brand-based adventures in photos, and when she's not, she's usually making an appearance on the local news. She is a bargain blogger, but you won't be overwhelmed with deals and steals. Laura shares a healthy balance of campaigns and home life.
Jodi is one of my Young Living oily favorites. I often learn about new uses for oils, or blends, from fer feed. She educates without pushing, and I like that! She welcomes you into her home, where she diffuses oils, with subtle humor. She has an eye for great color and angles, which keeps her shots interesting.

The final section of the novel, beginning with the journey into the wilderness, casts all of the circus troupe into a kind of Limbo from which they must be reborn into the new century. In Catholic theology, Limbo is an in-between state between Heaven and Hell, an afterlife for unbaptised babies and a waiting place for the righteous until Jesus' crucifixion allowed them to enter heaven. Between his death and resurrection, it is believed that Jesus descended to Limbo to release the souls trapped there to their final resting places. Whilst Limbo does not appear in the Bible or in formal Catholic doctrine, it is recognised in popular culture and mediaeval theories of Hell.
The word 'Limbo' is of Teutonic derivation, meaning a hem, edge or anything joined on (ie a limb). In literature and common usage it also suggests a place of restraint, a prison, an in between space or a a state of nothingness. From nothingness, it is possible to be reborn; and so the emptiness of Siberia, the long, listless days on the train, the lack of an audience for whom to perform, all conspire to return the circus troupe to a symbolic state of unbeing in order to emerge, in the final section, as truer versions of themselves. The old century is dying away, and by entering Limbo, Fevvers, Walser and the company are preparing to emerge afresh into the new.
Further down the same page, Carter refers back to Buffo's absence, to the clowns waiting 'for their Christ to rise again'. Just as Jesus descended to Limbo after his crucifixion, the circus has entered the same state immediately after the loss of the clown-god and awaits some sign or release in order to leave it again.

Big thanks once again to Geoff Thompson for sending this awesome collection of 90's trailers which he put together.
Here's a note from the man himself:
Another series of trailers featuring some of the biggest action hits of the 1990s, along with some others you've probably never seen. Stars featured here include the likes of Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Reeves, Willis, Van Damme, Seagal, Lundgren, and more.
Various sub-genres are included from cop and spy-thrillers to martial-arts and dystopian flicks.
Disaster, adventure and superhero films (along with foreign imports) were mostly avoided to keep things on a somewhat constant level, so I apologize if anything you expect to see isn't here (that's not to say I can't do expanded versions of these however).
Again, several of these are ripped from my own Blu-ray discs, but credit also goes to these YouTube channels for uploading them.

Lorenzens Playground
October 22, 2008 | 11:06 A.M. EST
But with Atlanta on the horizon, I wanted to touch on a figure from the past who, still to this day, speaks of how Atlanta was his track, and of his performance record there.
Fred Lorenzen told me the last time we spoke on the phone that Atlanta was a racetrack he holds dear. The biggest part of his charmed existence back then, though, was his "discovery" by Ralph Moody of Holman-Moody, hence the ride of a lifetime in their factory Ford team car.
Lorenzen actually worked in the Holman-Moody shop in Charlotte in 1960, but left with aspirations of being a top-notch, full-time race driver instead. On his own, he held the attention of Moody, and found himself driving for the H-M operation the next year.
In his first season with the Holman-Moody stable, Lorenzen wrecked out of the Atlanta 500, but came back to win there in the July Festival 250 in 1961, over a lap ahead of the field.
The Golden Boy was just what stock car racing needed at the time — youthful, articulate, handsome, and a bundle of energy. And, this lead driver for H-M was having an impact on showroom sales at the Ford dealerships.
The following year, 1962, Freddy won again at Atlanta, this time in the big Atlanta 500. The rain-shortened event only went a tad over 328 miles, but the official finishing order took nearly five hours to determine due to scrambled positions as the rains came, and a scoring miscue. The lead had changed 23 times among seven drivers.
But nothing could deter the Holman-Moody group. This was their third superspeedway win in a row for 1962, as Nelson Stacy took Charlotte and Darlington in May. Lorenzen himself had won over $76,000 in his first two seasons with H-M.
Come the beginning of the 1963 season, in March, here came Lorenzen once again to claim the Atlanta 500. This year, Fred would only start half the scheduled races, yet still become the first driver in NASCAR history to win over $100,000.
One more time would Lorenzen claim the Atlanta 500, in 1964. He began to complain, along with other drivers, that speeds were getting too high on the big tracks.
In 1965, he set fast time for Atlanta's Dixie 400, and proceeded to retire from the sport in 1967, becoming the third top Ford driver to quit in a six-month period. Freddy made a comeback on the 1970s, but not of the memorable caliber he managed his first time around.
Be mindful, Jimmie Johnson!

ALIAS : Lillian /w Ehren
Label: Anticon
Artist website |
Added to our store 28.06.2007
cd: 6 € (Sold out)
Alias continues his trip through wordless soundscapes with his third full-length and first collaborative instrumental album, Lillian. Ehren Whitney, eleven years Brandon's junior, was only three when his big brother started plastering the walls of their room with posters of screw-faced rappers but the music's crotch tight grip never quite got a hold of him. Alias's trademark sounds are all here-- crunchy fuzz, bassy cut up drums, pop-and-click percussion, atmospheric synth, ghostly guitars-- but they're made bright and buoyant by Ehren's incredible ear for melody. The end result is Lillian, a warm and wonderful album inspired by (and named after) their grandmother.

While I have always loved and will always love just about every type of music in existence, I will always have a soft spot for hip-hop; specifically the hip-hop of my youth. For my money, nothing beats the "golden age" (roughly 1987-1993), a period when the creativity in the genre was limitless (plus, you didn't have to worry about sample clearances).
Downtown Science was a duo that released one album on Def Jam back in 1991. They were notable from a pretty major perspective-they were an interracial hip-hop group, something virtually unheard of back then. I mean, the Beastie Boys don't count because DJ Hurricane was never an official member of the group, so the only interracial rap groups up until that point were Digital Underground and 3rd Bass. Incidentally-Downtown Science's Sam Sever (the white guy) was an associate of Serch and Pete (and Rich)-he produced quite a bit of that group's 1989 debut "The Cactus Album".
Sam and his rhyming partner Bosco Money (what a regrettable stage name) released two singles that I'm aware of. There was "Radioactive", which was OK, and "Room to Breathe", a track which I always loved. Bosco wasn't the greatest emcee, but I loved the vibe of the track. I literally didn't realize until about a week ago that the main sample on the record was from Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds' 1976 hit "Fallin' in Love", which was about as Lite as Lite-FM got back in the day.
I got the album through half.com a couple of years back. It's fairly unimpressive. It certainly didn't sell much, but there's the definite possibility that at least one hip-hop legend was listening. The Lady of Rage made her first appearance rhyming on this album. A year later, she was part of Dr. Dre's Death Row camp.
Here's the video for "Room to Breathe".

Police in Nyaruguru District is holding a man in connection with smuggling over 30, 000 pieces of plastic bags into the country.
Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Andre Hakizimana, police spokesperson for the Northern Province, said that the suspect, Jean Marie Vianney Nyirimpuhwe currently detained in Kibeho police station, was arrested in a police operation in the wee hours of March 17.
"An operation was based on information we had received on the suspect, who was arrested red-handed in Munini Sector. Investigations have since established that the suspect has been dealing in this illegal business," CIP Hakizimana said.
Last month, police also seized about 20, 000 pieces of plastic bags in the same area, and arrested 17 people in connection with the act.
Use of plastic bags was prohibited in 2008. From then, several mechanisms including legal provisions against use of plastic bags have been adopted.
According to article 433 of the Penal Code, "any person who sells polythene without authorisation shall be liable to a fine of Rwf10, 000 to Rwf300, 000.
Using polythene bags also attract a fine of up to Rwf100, 000, but in case the person repeats the offence, the penalty is doubled.

The first major explosion in the philosophy of chiropractic occurred after the Morikubo trial of 1907. Critics of philosophy in chiropractic have used this fact to suggest that philosophy in chiropractic is a legal ploy and no longer needed because of its origins linked to legal necessity. A simple glance at the early chiropractic philosophers and the roots to their theories proves the limitations of that argument. It is partly true. Not completely true. The rich legacy of the philosophy of chiropractic must include personal, behavioral, cultural as well as social elements.
The embrace of philosophy after the Morikubo trial was important because chiropractic was now viewed as a separate and distinct profession due to its unique philosophy, science, and art.
This led to the first PhC degree (doctor of chiropractic philosophy). The degree was given out until 1968. It has been reinvented in recent years as the LCP and also the ACP, and also the DPhC). Dr. Senzon's lectures for the Academy of Chiropractic Philosophers (ACP) in 2007 and 2008, were developed into some of his most recent articles. An interesting article by Palmer College librarian, Robert Stout describes the history of the PhC degree.*
This focus on philosophy in early chiropractic also led to various distinctions in language such as the use of vertebral subluxation, adjustment rather than manipulation, as well as analysis rather than diagnosis. A detailed discussion of this important point is described in Dr. Senzon's 8 hour lecture on the principles of chiropractic and partly in his 4 hour lecture on the Life of B.J. Palmer. The longer lecture was given as the keynote address on February 5, 2011 to the K.R. Jones Scholarship and Philosophy Forum. The second lecture was an invited talk to the Master's Circle's high achievers. Both lectures are available as online CE courses.

Japanese technology provides an answer to the problem of portly pooches
TOKYO (majirox news) — Anyone who has walked around a Japanese city recently will have noticed that canines almost appear to outnumber humans. The so-called "dog boom" has been going for some years now, and small dogs are everywhere. Nearly one in five Japanese households now owns a dog (17.5 percent, according to the Japan Pet Food Association's 2011 survey).
However, the smaller dogs so popular as fashion accessories are often carried by their doting owners, or even wheeled around in special dog buggies. Their legs never seem to touch the ground, at least out of doors.
The result is a population of dogs that fails to obtain the regular exercise needed for good health and who often suffer from obesity and related health conditions. And not only does Japan have an aging human society, it has an aging canine society, too.
Japanese pampered pooches have an average age of over 13 years, which is roughly equivalent to a human age of 72. For desk-bound humans there are smartphone applications available to monitor activity patterns and to nag the owner into a healthier lifestyle. But not for the dogs, until now.
A Japanese maker has applied its ingenuity to solving this problem, and Fujitsu have come up with the "Wandant" (bow-wow in English plus "pendant"). Attached to a dog's collar, this gadget senses and stores the number of steps taken by a dog, the temperature surrounding it, and the pooch's shivering. It uses the same accelerometer technology as contained in smartphones to work out the dog's exercise patterns,running, walking, or standing still.
When the pendant is held near a suitably equipped smartphone or personal computer, it employs the technology used for electronic money. For example, a Suica card or edy e-money (FeliCa) to transfer the data stored in it wirelessly. The data is then uploaded to a cloud platform on the Internet and may be viewed as a graph on a Web browser.
The owner can add other data such as details of food, and other health-related items, in order to build up an overall picture of the dog's health. However, the pendant is unable to be used with the very small dogs so popular among the Japanese. Fujitsu warn that the dog's legs must be at least 15cm (6²) long for the technology to work.
Available from November 28, the "Wandant" canine pedometer may be purchased from a variety of outlets, including online malls, at an open price, to include one year's cloud service. Following the first year, the service is expected to be priced at 420 yen, a little more than $5 per month.

ZIP4 regulates human epidermal homeostasis in patients with acrodermatitis enteropathica.
ZIP4 and intracellular zinc have essential roles in tumoral growth in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Case Report: heterozygote mutation in SLC39A4 resulting in acrodermatitis enteropathica.
Data sho (show SPRN ELISA Kits) that silencing of zinc transporter ZIP4 resulted in increased bone tissue mineral density, and restoration of bone strength.
The results described a previously uncharacterized role of ZIP4 in apoptosis resistance and elucidated a novel pathway through which ZIP4 regulates pancreatic cancer growth.
In glioma tumors, high ZIP4 expression was significantly associated with higher grade.
Developed is a structural model of ZIP4 by combining protein prediction methods with in situ experiments. Insight into the permeation pathway of ZIP4 is provided.
SLC39A4 mutations have roles in zinc deficiency
Both acrodermatitis mutations cause absence of the ZIP4 transporter cell surface expression and nearly absent zinc uptake.
ZIP4 activates the zinc-dependent transcription factor CREB (show CREB1 ELISA Kits) and requires this transcription factor to increase miR (show MLXIP ELISA Kits)-373 expression through the regulation of its promoter.
While Zip4 was not found to be essential for proper glucose homeostasis and insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) secretion in vivo in mice, this study found that Zip4 mediates increases in cytoplasmic and granular zinc pools and stimulates glucose dependent insulin (show INS ELISA Kits) secretion in-vitro
These studies strongly suggest that wasting and lethality in acrodermatitis enteropathica patients reflects the loss-of-function of the intestine zinc transporter ZIP4, which leads to abnormal Paneth cell gene expression
Cell migration assays revealed that RNAi knockdown of Zip4 in Hepa cells depressed in vitro migration whereas forced over-expression in Hepa cells and MCF-7 cells enhanced in vitro migration
ZIP4 physically interacts with tPA (show PLAT ELISA Kits), correlating with an increased intracellular zinc influx and lysosomal sequestration after excitotoxin stimulation. Changes in prosurvival signals support the idea that this sequestration results in neuroprotection.
results provide compelling evidence that ZIP4 is a zinc transporter that plays an important role in zinc homeostasis, a process that is defective in acrodermatitis enteropathica in humans
ZIP4 and ZIP5 (show SLC39A5 ELISA Kits) have roles in the adaptive response to dietary zinc in mice
that heterozygous mutations in the acrodermatitis gene Zip4 (Slc39a4) may be associated with a wider range of developmental defects than was previously appreciated, particularly when dietary zinc is limiting.
ZIP4 is induced by zinc deficiency in cultured mouse Hepa cells and is rapidly degraded in response to added zinc
The processing of ZIP4 may represent a significant regulatory mechanism controlling its function.
KLF4 (show KLF4 ELISA Kits) is induced during zinc restriction and is a transcription factor involved in adaptive regulation of the zinc transporter ZIP4
This gene encodes a member of the zinc/iron-regulated transporter-like protein (ZIP) family. The transmembrane protein is required for zinc uptake in the intestine. Mutations in this gene result in acrodermatitis enteropathica, a rare inherited defect in the absorption of dietary zinc. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

I was thinking about getting hair extensions but I'm worried about how it will look and the effect of my hair growing. My hair is relaxed yet is still very thick so I have to keep flat pressing it, is their any way to avoid that? I've never heard of African hair extensions. Also girls, when you take your extensions out do your boyfriend/girlfriend or friends react or treat you differently? I feel like people prefer me with longer hair (I used to wear weave)
Most Helpful Girl
I use to have clip ins about a year ago! I didn't really have a problem with them but they were just really annoying lol and about the straightening thing, i would just say to wrap it and grease it well nightly? Of you dont already do that!:) and if you're afraid of other reactions just because you took them out, just wear your hair in a bun or something, that way they won't be able to tell. ☺22|00|0

Let me put it out there: once you had to personally rate (by first hand experience) luxury hotels for a job, that idea of finding "a dream job" could be slightly challenging. So really, what's next?
In times where Australia promotes itself by giving away "the best job in the world", the real question we should ask ourselves is – how can wake really make that work for everyone?
Do we get more satisfaction out of being pampered or out of being challenged? What's more powerful?
Coming back to my time as a "luxury hotel sommelier", I can quickly recall the question I heard the most at the time – 'so juan, what's the best hotel in the world?'. No matter how many hotels I had seen and visited, my answer would always be the same – the 'best hotel in the world' doesn't necessarily rely on its own intrinsic components, it is not purely based on the best bed linen or in majestic views, rather the contrary, the answer to that question lies within. The best hotel in the world has more to do with you than it has to do with the hotel itself, it depends on who you were with, how you felt when you got there, how you felt while being there and how you felt after you left. Of course the hotel can do its part to help those (and many other) factors, but you could perfectly argue that the best hotel in the world is that 3* bed and breakfast you found on that road trip through Scotland and not necessarily the Burj al Arab in Dubai.
Likewise, finding the best job in the world has a lot in common with finding that hotel. The truth is, it really depends, not as much on the job, but on yourself. There's nothing more powerful than first really taking the time to ask yourself what it is you really want for yourself, your long term goal, your vision. Once you have found that, you might as well write down your mission – see what needs to be done TODAY to achieve that which you really want to pursue in the long run. Remember, that mission will most definitely change throughout your life, and that's absolutely fine.
Now guess what: You have already defined what the best job in the world is FOR YOU. For as long you do what takes you closer to your vision, for as long as your mission is put to practice, you can proudly say: I've got the best job in the world.
I do, do you?
