Exclamation M3 BMW Clutch Kit Good Shape Look!

I've got an M3 clutch kit in pretty good shape. It was taken off a BMW M3 with the competition package (not sure if there's a difference) around 30,000 miles. Thanks for looking!

Changing old vents--what will go horribly wrong?

CapeCodderCapeCodder Member Posts: 14
I'm getting ready to replace the 3 main vents on my early-1900s steam system.  This is new territory for me, and a couple of the vents look pretty old, so I want to be prepared for the worst.  Do these things ever break when you try to remove them?  What do you do if they're stuck so tight you can't get them off with a pipe wrench?  What else can go wrong?

The vents that are currently on there are one Dole 6B and two that appear to say "Richardson Bellows".

Many thanks to everyone on this forum.  I've learned a huge amount by browsing the archives and reading Dan's books. This is our first winter in our new steam-heated house, and it's become apparent that the system hasn't been well taken care of and needs a lot of work.

    few things to try

    - heat it up with a propane torch

    - try the candle wax trick

    - wd40

    - worst case if it breaks, make small cuts and chisel it out.
  • JeffMJeffM Member Posts: 145 ✭✭
    not WD40

    A better option than WD40 if you're looking for a penetrating oil to loosen stuck threads is Kroil, or PB Blaster if you can't find Kroil.

    Vent removal

    An open ended wrench on the flats of the vent exerts more force than a pipe wrench, especially when tapped with a hammer.--nbc
  • CapeCodderCapeCodder Member Posts: 14

    Thanks everyone.  I'll probably start banging away this weekend.  I'm sure there'll be more questions to come....
  • conversiontimeconversiontime Member Posts: 87
    cheater bar

    I would use a cheater bar/piece of pipe slipped over the wrench vs banging with hammer which is often ineffective and dangerous when you miss or it bounces. When removing 90 year old mains that were completely crusted/rusted in, I was only able to get them out using a 4 foot piece of pipe (old fly fishing metal/rod) tube fitted on top of a large adjustable wrench. Physics in action.........
  • CapeCodderCapeCodder Member Posts: 14
    Good idea

    I'll give that a try.  I have a feeling those Richardson vents have been on there a long time.  The threads are rusted, and the pipe around them looks pretty gnarly.  That's why I'm a bit nervous about trying to remove them.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Posts: 2,067
    Changing Main Vents

    Hi - When first read this I thought about using a cheater bar too!  1 1/4 pipe will slip over the handle of most smaller sized pipe wrenches. (take the wrench with you to verify this) Get one 36 inch long ( or shorter if clearance is tight) cut for you at Home Depot.

    It can be rather hard on the wrench but will get the fitting off.  If you use Teflon tape when you replace the vent, start the tape a couple of threads back from the end to prevent small pieces of the tape from falling into the pipe and possibly clogging the vent orifices.

    - Rod
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Member Posts: 297
    Steel or Not?

    Are the vents steel (iron) or something lighter like copper?

    Also, are they tapped into the mains themselves, or into a fitting like an elbow?
  • CapeCodderCapeCodder Member Posts: 14
    on a T

    Each vent is mounted on a T at the end of the dry return where it drops down to the Hartford loop.  There's no nipple or anything.  They're just screwed into a 3/4 inch (I think) fitting.  The vents aren't copper.  I'd guess they're steel.
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User] Member Posts: 297
    Slow and Careful

    Just take your time. You obviously don't want to break the fitting. If you do use a breaker bar be gentle and take your time. If it won't come out you'd be better off cutting it and removing the threads than breaking the T, especially if your mains don't have unions nearby. The fitting is going to be weaker than the valve so just be mindful not to crack it.

    If you do have to cut them off, or the vents break off leaving the threads in, you can cut them out. Make a few cuts inside the threaded portion and chisel out the small pieces. Once they are out you can chisel out the remaining pieces. If you aren't comfortable doing that yourself, have a plumber cut them off. You don't want to cut them off and have to wait 5 days for a plumber. You're boiler will run but it won;t build pressure so it will just cycle until the thermo turns it off. Not a good situation when it's cold outside.

BTU's Needed?

Great site.

I am converting to gas heat from oil. Two story stone house, outside Philadelphia PA, is 85 years old, 1,600 square feet.

Two estimates s far, both through the flu venting. One is for a 96,000 BTU Burnham gas boiler. The second is for 132,000 Buderus boiler.

Why the large disparity in recommended BTUs?

Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Jean-David BeyerJean-David Beyer Member Posts: 2,501 ✭✭✭
    Why the large disparity in recommended BTUs?

    Because at most one of those contractors did a heat loss calculation?
  • Alan (California Radiant) ForbesAlan (California Radiant) Forbes Member Posts: 1,090 ✭✭✭
    Jean-David is right.

    But it's not unusual for bids to come in without heatloss calculations. The questions is, who do you choose to do the work.

    If I were you, I would call a reliable contractor and pay to have him do the heatloss calculations for your home. If you click on "Find a Contractor" above, there seems to be many in your area and I recognize a few of them who are quite active and knowledgeable here on The Wall. With these calculations in hand, you can give copies of them to other contractors that you ask to bid on your boiler replacement. That way, everyone is bidding on at least the same calc's.

    The contractor that does the calc's. may even give you a bid and offer to credit back the charge for the calc's. if he does the work.
    Often wrong, never in doubt.
  • icesailoricesailor Member Posts: 7,265 ✭✭✭✭
    A lot of guys:

    A lot of guys (or a few) would have done a complete heat loss for the building. Which means room by room. Measured installed radiation and done a comparison to what is there as to what is needed. Compared it to the boiler that is there, and on the quote, made some measure of letting you know that the calculations were done, and because it was done, your boiler was either OK or XX oversized so you could use a smaller or less expensive boiler and any other important things you can suggest.

    Some are only interested in price. The rest are  interested in price and quality. But I would never give my worksheets to a potential customer. Maybe once I have the job or started, but never so they could pass it around for others to say "No matter what the price is, I'll do it for $100.00 below that".

Dear community members,

we are building a house and even my whife ("don't you dare touching my Vista-Notebook with that Linux stuff") is convinced of the awsome features and possibillities of Linux MCE. As it's too late (and too expensive ;-) ) to use complete bus system from the beginning (start of construction is in 4 weeks) I would like to prepare as much KNX/EIB wiring as possible/affordable. Therefore I kindly ask for your comments and suggestions! What we will do is CAT6 wiring into almost every single room. So at least we will have streaming media and voip everywhere.

Here is what I'm planning to do with the bus system in the final stage (maybe in 3-5 years or so):
- Controlling the inner Lights (mostly dimmable Spotlights integrated into the ceiling)
- Controlling the decentralized ventilating system integrated into the walls
- Maybe switching some power sockets as well
- Controlling the outer Lights and maybe things like a lawn sprinkler - who knows?
- maybe infrared sensors (By the way are there sensors that keep the light on even if I'm reading/working for an hour or so and realize the difference between a human and our cat?)
- a panic button to turn on all lights
- a "sleepmode button" to set the whole house to "power save mode" while nobody is at home
- and who knows what else... :-)

As mentioned above I'm planning to put a KNX/EIB wire into every wall and into the ceilings so I will have the possibillity to connect to it everywhere. I have some questions:

For later easy replacement of the standard switches by KNX/EIB switches I'm thinking of laying a bus wire directly to each button. Is that a good idea or am I completely wrong?

What kind of topology is needed? Where would you put the wires? Where the actors? I've attached a plan of our ground floor to have something to discuss about. Please feel free to paint on it where you would put which wires.

- Green X: "server room" ;-)
- RED A-C: lighting that schould be controlled separately (all of A; all of B; ...)
- Pink S: switches that are traditional switches first but should be replaced by KNX/EIB switches later.
- Blue D: Ventillation system
(of course these are only examples. Hopefully we will have light in our bath, too ;-) )

Is there a possibillity to use some kind of wireless bridge to expand the bus system into the garden and put wires from there to the actors or should I already put a bus wire through the outer wall?

I read through various german forums on KNX/EIB but the guys there didn't seem to be very helpful. The answers to similar newbie questions sounded pretty much like "We are Professionals, go read some books about it, build a complete bus house from the beginning and maybe THEN come back". That somewhat didn't satisfy me... ;-)

Please, any help would be appreciated. Plus: the better my planning is, the easyer would it be to convince my wife of new expansion stages later. She would kill me if I'd tell her in say 2-3 years "of course you can dimm the lights with that PDA but I have to open all walls and the complete ceiling to insert some kilometers of wiring first". ;-)

I really hope you can help us. Kind regards and greetings from Berlin

  1. What do you think about this model?
    I just bought it... and i'm in love with it :biggrin: the only thing that bothers me is that maybe for a 19yo girl is a little bit... old? i don't know :lol:
  2. First of all, congratz to your new handbag!
    The pattern are a little bit old for your age in my opinion but I'm sure it'll fits you perfect. Just match it with some cute outfits and the bag won't look that old. You can shorten the stripes and carry it as a top handles bag. :smile:
  3. I don't the pattern is old at all! This as well as the mono are iconic, classic and timeless patterns that can be dresses up or down as fits your mood. You can jazz it up with a fun, bright bandeau or simple silk scarf if you feel like it but I think it's a great choice that will be with you for a long time. Congratulations!
  4. i have that too.. i think its for all ages.. :smile:
  5. I've seen women of all ages wear and rock this bag! I personally LVoe it...congrats & enjoy!

    I strongly recommend SPORT and engage the Sport button each time you drive it - in manual or automatic. The shift and acceleration is great.

    A few months back, my wife was....

    considering an SMG tranny equiped M6 and several folks who are very familiar offered this advice:

    If you are going to use it primarily as an automatic, but you want the responsiveness of a manual, you will be disappointed with the slow response of the auto shifting. However, when the car is driven in the manual mode, the SMG tranny is very responsive.

    She ended up with a new 328i and the auto tranny is a bit slow when the accelerator is mashed. In manual mode, it is a rocket on rails.

    So, drive both cars in the manner that you plan to operate them and choose the one that puts a smile on your face that only a plastic surgeon can remove.

    Love SMG

    Bought my '04 3.0 new w/ Sport and even tried to get a 3 series w/ SMG as a primary car. BMW did away w/ SMG on Z4 and 3 series. The secret to a SMG is the software. When the software has been properly programmed, there is no need to learning to adjust the rpm or how to shift - the computer does it all. It programs the rpm to mesh the gears and everything is smooth. Greatest transmission to drive I've ever seen. Run it up to 3,000 rpm or more and just touch the upshift and the SMG shifts positively and quickly. There is no manual meshing of the accelerator - anyone can shift the first time out. The key is to have the tech get the programming right. I've got less than 20,000 miles on mine and it's showroom condition. It is great to drive!

    Re: Advice on SMG purchase

    bought mine new at the end of '03. 55k and no trouble at all.
    at the time the only alternative with a sequential manual transmission was the tt with the superior double clutch setup, albeit in a too-heavy chassis.
    initially i wanted it because i expected to be in stop and go traffic quite a bit, and didn't look forward to riding a clutch pedal two hours a day. thought i'd pop it into auto mode and chill. turns out i took a commuter bus to work, and never use the auto mode.
    my next car will probably have a similar setup if it's available. there's no real art or science to operating a manual clutch vehicle, just simple coordination.
    to those that believe that third pedal is a must-have, i say "what's with the electric starter, nancy? man the [Oops!] up and hand crank!" ;)
  • 10-15-2010, 03:03 PM

    Re: Advice on SMG purchase

    Still love it here! Just don't think most figured out how to drive it or work the gas and shifter in the right way. I think the run flats statement above has to do with all of the cars.
  • 10-13-2010, 10:03 AM

    Re: Advice on SMG purchase

    We had SMG on our 04' 3.0......BMW no longer offers it.....Might tell you something. Some love it; some hate it. Sold our SMG Z4 and bought a 06' M roadster. If you buy the SMG car, replace the run flats for real tires.
  • 10-09-2010, 10:45 PM

    Re: Advice on SMG purchase

    Well, I think I learned a little something...maybe...

    The ad for the car I'm looking at says its a 6 speed steptronic with paddle shifters. Does than make sense? I thought paddle shifters MEANT it was an SMG...but apparently not. That will be cool with me as I was hoping for a steptronic.

    If ya wouldn't mind confirming my assumption above, that a z4 can have a steptronic with paddle shifters, I'd appreciate it.

    Advice on SMG purchase

    First off, thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on my question! I did a search on my question and didn't find anything that wasn't over 2 years old (not the greatest "searcher").

    I'm in the market for an 05-07 Z4 and have a few clean candidates in mind nearby me here in San Antonio. One is the 5 speed steptronic, and two are the 6 speed SMG(?) that has paddle shifters.

    My first pick will be the steptronic, but if the deal isn't reasonable enough I'm wondering about going with the SMG.

    I figure it might be cool to have the SMG (synonymous with paddle shifters?) but don't know anything about it. I figure I can learn as I go (leave it in auto most of the time), but my big concern would be if the SMG has a bad reliability record.

    Would I be buying into a major maintenance/reliability problem down the road with it, on on 06 or 07 model?

    Thanks again,

    Damn, Appeals Court fires back at OBY for "unelected" comments

    Man, OBY was so stupid, he should have kept his mouth shut when
    he called the SC unelected judges and that they never overturned a
    piece of legislation. He later said he meant "modern legislation" just
    like he meant to say he visited 50 states, not 57.

    Anyway, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the DOJ to give them in writing their opinion to see if the courts with "un-elected judges" have the legal right to over turn Congressional legislation and they only gave them three days to do it.
    The 5th Circuit is currently hearing a separate challenge to OBAMA CARE brought
    by physicians-owned hospitals.

    Damn, if the appeals court is this upset, just think how pissed off
    the SC must be and particularly Kennedy who is the swing vote. OBYs comments were directed at him after he was obviously tipped off by Kagen or someone about the final vote on Friday.

    He opened a new can of worms this time. Rush said it's equivalent to putting
    out a bounty on the Supremes.

  • step by step process to run echo from sprin-ws distribution?

    Hi Guys

    I am new to Spring-ws. I tried to deploy the echo example. But I am unable to do so.

    Can any of you, tell me step by step process to
    1) Compile the sample\echo
    2) Create a war
    3) Deploy the application in any container.. weblogic 8.x (preferred)
    4) Finally the link to access the deployed web service
    5) And if time permits, a way to access the web service using a client.

    Or u can point me to some link which would help me.

    Thanks in advance.

    You will need maven 2 to create the wars. Unfortunately, there is one file missing in the distribution, which you require to make the samples. The process to build is as follows:
    1. Download this pom, and place it in spring-ws-1.0-m2/samples/.
    2. Run "mvn package" in echo
    3. Deploy the target/echo.war

    The above process is for a standalone web container like tomcat. If you run on a fullfledged J2EE server like Weblogic, you fill add create a WEB-INF/weblogic.xml file, which contains the following:

      step by step process to run echo from spring-ws distribution

      Hi Arjen

      I have been using Spring Core and Spring MVC in some of my project now and in the past.

      I know its very late for Spring Webservice.

      But I am new to the Spring webservice, i have gone through the echo webservice sample, its very simple and easy to start with.

      But the code download (example) was blocked and unavailable. Do you have one available (working model HelloWorld sample ) so that i can get started, I am planning to promote it in my company. Waiting for your reply.

      • #4
        Actually, the Echo app is in the downloaded Spring-WS zip.

        Upon unzipping, you will find the Echo app in samples/echo dir.

        • #5
          Thanks gjegadesh

          I found the samples :-)

posté February 18, 2014, 23:24:37 | #1
Looking for a new Masq to be my student. Nox- Overall I want a student - one who is a mask. When I started out I had a master in some form. Now that I have reached a confident of play I want to do the same for someone else. This role is not merely just two people playing together, it is something a little bigger then that.

Prefer this person be newer to wakfu. Have some RP skills. Prefer a fire/air masq - but will take any kind of masq if it is wanted.

- Prerequisites-

1)Must be of the Masq Class (preferably new)
2)Must be lower then 40
3)Must understand this is a role of trust, on both parts. Me and you.

-Any questions please message me via the website or add me in game-

Washington’s Rye returns

Postby Rob Allanson » Thu Feb 19, 2009 2:33 pm

Authentic distilling has begun at George Washington’s Distillery for a two-week period. The aim during this is to generate 100 gallons of whiskey using Washington’s recipe.
Half of the supply will be bottled and sold at Mount Vernon starting this summer as George Washington’s Rye Spirit. This product will be un-aged, just like Washington’s version of whiskey. Pints will be sold for a price still to be determined but most likely just under $100. The remaining half will be aged in oak barrels for future sale as whiskey, also in pints at a price to be determined.
Master distiller Dave Pickerell, formerly of Maker’s Mark, will lead the team of Mount Vernon employees – historians, historic trades interpreters, archaeologists, and educators – who will work to make Washington’s recipe at the reconstructed distillery.

Thanks Rob, sounds interesting. Shame it's not at the same price as in Washington's day.

Maybe I can get a hold of one of these when I am visiting home this summer ... going to be not far from Mount Vernon (maybe).

Need to put this on my list ... also, wonder if you can mail order it to an address in the same state.

    Default Stock email app problems

    Let me start off with I received my note 2 on release day and I absolutely love it!!!!!!

    After about 2 weeks I started haveing problems with the stock email app. My emails wouldn't come in to my phone unless I hit the refresh button, having to check my phone to do that got kinda annoying after awhile. Sometimes even when I would hit refresh the icon in the top right corner would just spin and never update. I would delete the account and set it up again however I couldn't even load the account back in. So I switched to the Emoze app for email I didn't quite like it as it didn't sync with my account when I deleted emails they would remain in my inbox still.

    When I first set up the phone I was given different account options for email providers Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, windows live as well as corporate and "others". I use AOL as my primary and Yahoo as secondary account. This morning I tried to load my AOL account again but the screen below is what I got with no options for AOL yahoo Hotmail or windows live.

    Stock email app problems-uploadfromtaptalk1356681598059.jpg

    I was able to set up both accounts through the "other" option but the "other" option doesn't allow for push email.

    Can anyone help me get back the specific account options so I get the push email back. I prefer not to use an app for email.

    Swyped from my Note II using.

    Hi all,

    is it possible to change the border color of DialogBox without subclassing it in win32 ?

    What do you mean with "subclassing DialogBox"?

    In Win32, "subclassing" means to replace a default window procedure (usually for built-in common controls like button, edit, etc) with an application-defined one.
    DialogBox function requires an application-defined dialog procedure (see lpDialogFunc parameter, as well as DialogProc callback function.

    So, what's the point in your question?

Dear Community

So I would like to program an application where the user can record a video and instantly (live) upload that video to a RTP/RTSP Server.
The server side will not be a problem. The thing I am unclear about is how to achieve this on the phone-side.

My research so far is that I have to write the video on recording to a local socket rather than to a file, because the 3gp files if written to a file cannot be accessed, until finalized (when the video is stopped and the header information have been written to the video about length and others).

When the socket receives the continuous data, I will need to wrap it into a RTP packet and send it to the remote server. I possibly will also have to do basic encoding first (which is not so important yet).

Does anybody have any idea, if this theory is correct so far.
I would also like to know if someone could point me to a few code-snippets of similar approaches, especially for sending the video on the fly to the server. I am not sure yet how to do that.

Thank you very much and best regards

I'm using the exact code snippet (Step 1 of the Simple Version) from this page hosted by the developers of BreezingForms for Joomla!, modified only to have the correct table and field names, and the name of the select list in the form: [[OK, so I guess I can't post links. I hope you can still help.]]

All I want to do in BreezingForms is to populate a select list with the "address" field as name and "buildingID" as value. I don't need the scripts in Step 2, 3, etc. because I don't need to populate other form fields. However with this code inserted in Advanced > Form Options > Form Pieces > Before Form box, the select list fails to even show up on the page with the form, see here: [[OK, so I guess I can't post links. I hope you can still help.]]

The form field label "Select List" is there, but the select list box fails to appear. I don't see any reason why it doesn't work. What's wrong here? Please help!

*Note: I omitted these two lines of code because I don't need usernames or user ID's, however trying to implement these lines of code does help any:*

$user = &JFactory::getUser(); // get the user via JFactory
$userid = $user->id; // you may need to use a different value for this or none

=========START CODE=============

$rows = ff_select("SELECT buildingID, address
FROM ty43k_building_inspection");
$listdata = "0;Please make a selection;0\n";
for ($i = 0; $i < count($rows); $i++) {
$listdata .= "0;{$rows[$i]->address};{$rows[$i]->buildingID}\n";

ff_setSelectList('select1', $listdata);

function ff_setSelectList($name, $value) {
global $ff_processor;
for ($r = 0; $r < $ff_processor->rowcount; $r++) {
$row =& $ff_processor->rows[$r];
if ($row->name==$name)
$row->data2 = $value;
} // for

} // ff_setSelectList

Transmission problems with Lexus ES?

  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    I posted this FYI with your comments about the issue in another forum. Hope you find it informative.

    Here's some really interesting info. Like it or not,it's worth reading.
    My Internet research reveals there are at least Four (count 'em---4!!)Aftermarket Suppliers of "Transmission Performance Programmers", also called "Power Control Modules", sometimes called "Automotive Performance Computers" which are able to modify shift performance, shift points, shift firmness, and a host of other parameters for 4,5,and 6 speed automatic transmissions on every make or model of vehicle on the planet.
    That tells me (1)There's no mystery or black magic to this issue, (2)The so called "unknown fix" isn't unknown--likely Toyota included, (3)A lucrative market exists for people to change the way their trannys work--not just Toyota/Lexus, (4)Cost is modest--prices range from $125 to $400 depending how sophistcated one wants to go.
    All the confusing technobabble aside, in layman's terms, I no longer believe it's the mysterious and elusive quest we've all been obsessing about.
    That said, here's what I think this issue boils down to.
    All manufacturer's DBW throttle/transmission systems have unusual or unfamiliar characteristics. I believe those Service Tech's comments about it being a "normal" characteristic are probably correct. I believe it's likely a consistent phenomenon across the board--typical to a greater or lesser degree to all manufacturers. Auto manufacturing consistency today is higher than it's ever been, so anomalies like some suggest this may be aren't too prevailent any more.
    So I believe that complaints we are seeing have more to do with a few owners having adverse sensitivity to the issue, and most owners not noticing it nor being bothered by it.
    More research results. A small sampling to be sure, but revealing nonetheless.
    Since coming into this issue last October, I've driven 12 Toyota/Lexus products with 5 speed BBW in addition to our own two cars. Lexus 330 and RX series, Highlander, Avalons, and Camry. None has exhibited any of the delay, lurching, seeking, or prolonged hesitation. All have been seamless, smooth and quiet. I have yet to experience any of this phenomenon, and I have yet to speak directly to anyone who has.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706
    Of the 50 or so people I polled over the weekend here for the 24 vhours of Daytona the only ones with the type of hesitation complaints described in the TSB seemed to be exclusively FWD Toyota or Lexus owners. And just as we see here not all owners were experiencing the problem, some seem to not even grasp my question without an explanation.

    I had the opportunity to drive a number of rental cars back to the rental lot, almost all FWD, and not a one of them exhibited the symptom, including my own Chrysler sebring, insofar as I could tell.
  • billranbillran Posts: 113
    Wwest, would you say that the 50 owners represented a fair and equal crossection of manufacturers? Did you ask an equal number of Honda/Acura, and other owners before reaching your conclusion?

    A search of NHTSA records and interviews with Consumer Reports magazine also show owners of other car makes are suffering from the same hesitation problem, including BMW's 3 Series, Ford Explorers and Escapes, and Dodge Durango 4x4.

    David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center in Connecticut, said the magazine's testers have encountered the same problems in the Audi A6 2.7T, the Audi Allroad, the Mazda6 equipped with the V-6 engine, and the Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706

    I doubt if I will ever come to a "conclusion" absent same from Toyota/Lexus. Just gathering information.
  • I appreciate that information and do find it informative. It also makes me wonder why Lexus continues to say nothing can be done. I also wonder why they haven't suggested such a product, since the local dealer and the Lexus representative both acknowledge and can repeat the symptoms in my car (unless there are warranty issues associated with such an aftermarket product...).

    But I must vehemently disagree that I am just experiencing an 'adverse sensitivity to the issue'. I do agree that most owners are not 'noticing it nor being bothered by it'. But it is definitely more than a perception or sensitivity issue.

    After reading some of the other observations and suggestions, I have been messing around with different driving 'styles', for lack of a better word. And the symptoms are definitely more pronounced under certain driving conditions and/or driving 'styles'. It is definitely some type of reaction by the software or hardware to the 'inputs' from the driver.

    Having said that, I have not been able to find a 'style' where the symptoms are completely gone - THAT may be a function of my 'sensitivity to the issue'. But as noted in a previous post, the car doesn't react the same to the same inputs - so modifying my driving 'style' permanently has not been effective. Not to mention, I do not see anywhere in the manual where the driving 'style' required for this car is discussed.

    I completely understand that you and others do not experience the symptoms that I experience, and I have event talked to others who do not experience this problem. But trust me, what I am experiencing is much more than just being 'sensitive to the issue' - and I am not the only once experiencing this, so it is definitely more than just sensitivity.
  • I am actually in the process of trying arbitration, under the Lemon Law in my state.

    Unfortunately, my attorney and I are not very hopeful based on the comments posted on these forums - which seems to indicate that the big company (i.e. Lexus) seems to have more influence on the arbitrator's decision than little ole me.

    But, I'm still going to give it a go. I'm in the 'notice period' right now, so cannot file my claim until mid-February based on the way our state's lemon law works.
  • I don't understand the difference between this forum,and the Lexus/Toyota Transaxle Shift Delay forum (

    Can you please clarify? Because it seems like people (me included) are posting the same information in both places...
  • Mr_ShiftrightMr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 52,367
    This forum is supposed to be JUST for the 300, the other for all Lexus/Toyota. If you don't own a 300 you should probably be over there.

  • user777user777 Posts: 3,341
    you might what to clarify that: ...if you wish to report a Lexus/Toyota shift delay in a vehicle other than the Lexus 300...
  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    Good luck with your Lemon Law process. You have formed your opinion of the issue and based your action plan on that opinion--your choice is made; now let the chips fall where they may.
    Nevertheless my perception on what this is all about have not changed, and likely won't, at least not in the near future. If it turns out my assessment is in some way incorrect, so be it. For now, I'm standing firm on what I feel is going on here. I'm quite happy with my vehicle status, and like I said earlier, I have yet to meet anyone who hasn't. I've met quite a few who agree with me. I don't expect that status to change much either.
    I posted info about "performance enhancers" as simply info, and wasn't implying that anyone should rush out and buy one.
    It simply proved there are commercially available devices out there, unrelated to Toyota/Lexus, which change transmission shift characteristics. Therefor the issue is fixable, changeable, modifiable, or whatever, and isn't the elusive and mysterious quest being bantied about by us.
  • scoti1scoti1 Posts: 676
    Shepali - Just wondering, has Toyota/Lexus performed the TSB on your car yet to try to cure the problem? Just wondering because based on other's experience with arbitration, the arbitrator would like to see that you have given Toyota/Lexus adequate opportunity to fix the problem. A certain number of attempts to repair is also typcially required to file for a lemon law buy back. Well, keep us posted.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706
    An improvement of 9.8% in fuel economy and the resulting reduction in overall emissions is not something to be taken lightly. If Sierra Research said it could be done back in 1999 then the EPA and CARB will not be long in making it the law of the land.

    Toyota and Lexus have long been ahead of the curve in implementing these new aspects before they become law and I suspect that this is just another case of their "leading the pack".

    The only answer I can see for the future is to only buy cars with the sequential shift feature and then always run it under at least that level of manual control.

    For those of you who might be interested it appears that ALL of these new 5-speed transaxles have the three electrical inputs required for sequential shift mode/operations but no connections to tyhe cockpit.

    Good luck.
  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    In light of questions put to me in other forums about my internet findings into solutions for the hesitation issue, I felt some clarification is needed--as follows:

    I am NOT suggesting anyone immediately run down to the neighborhood automotive store to buy a performance enhancer, and yes, I am aware the device would probably void one's warranty. That's decidedly a no brainer.
    My ONLY reason for raising the point was to show how solutions are already out there. This is, after all, a "problems and solutions" forum.
    And yes, different makes/models of cars require different performance enhancing devices. That's why, when one buys one of these devices, it is necessary to specify which make/model one owns, so the appropriate device is purchased. They are make/model specific--look it up on the net.
    They come in all styles and shapes, with a variety of operating characteristics and user features. The simplest ones are straight replacement CPU chips, non adjustable nor programmable. Some factory chips are non removeable, so in these cases the performance enhancing device installs in line with the transmission CPU harness. For some units, what's changed stays that way until the new chip is replaced or the unit running in parallel is removed. High end units are dashboard mount, infinitely programmable, and are capable of providing a variety of different performance characteristics, even while in motion.
    No matter how one slices and dices this issue, it's not the deep, dark, unsolvable mystery that it's thought to be.
    That's all I'm trying to say.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706
    My team, nor any reasonably competent software group, would EVER suggest simply reprogramming versus digging in and finding and correcting bugs in the current firmware.

    Were you to do so then your assumption would be that an aftermarket third party programming group is better than the factory and that's simply not going to happen.

    If you were doing it to improve torque/HP for track use then the new bugs you will surely encounter might be tolerable, otherwise.........
  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    Wwest, now do we have to respond to you twice?? (Just kidding!)
    Look my friend, all I was trying to do was illustrate there's more than one way to skin this "elusive" hesitation cat. It isn't that elusive, and I believe you, more than most,should know that.
    These performance enhancement devices I've researched aren't for "track use" or "dragster application" or any other "competition" purposes. They're just another way to change one's transmission characteristics for a more user compatible attributes--assuming that's what the user desires. And they're cheap, easy to obtain, and there's lots of them around so the proof of their effectiveness is beyond question. Besides, any developer worth his or her salt knows the algorithms we're talking about in CPU transmission controls are about as simple as it gets. CPUs in these applications aren't quite the same as Lunar Landing Module controllers. I'm sure you have great programmers in your company, but they aren't any better or worse than a great many others out there. The application here is a relatively simple one, so it shouldn't be made to look more complex or difficult than it really is.

    Now I will post twice, but the second time will be in that other forum you responded to me in--just in case you miss this one.
  • atoewsatoews Posts: 637
    hylyner, my response:
    1. There is not more than one way to skin this hesitation cat. There is not even one way, or Lexus would have done it!

    2. If this is a simple, inexpensive software problem, that is known to boot, Lexus would be providing a fix to be done under warranty.

    3. Proof of effectiveness may be well known, but if you are referring to the complaint on this board, I take issue with your statement. This is the most active of the Edmund's ES300 board and there are still complaints.

    I think your statements support and do not detract from the theory that if the transmission problem had a simple and known solution (software only) Lexus would simply ship an update to be implemented under warrantly. Problem solved; no more complaints.

    But Lexus/Toyota has done no such thing, indicating that the fix is more than a simple software firmware solution.

    In other words, I believe that your statements are true, which proves to me that the problem squawked on this board involves both hardware and software, which would be expensive to fix.
  • scoti1scoti1 Posts: 676
    atoews, good points.

    hylyner, I responded to your duplicate post in the Toyota-Lexus transaxle shift delay forum but all these duplicates in several different forums gets a little confusing, so I am not going to repeat it here. That forum may be the best venue for general discussion of the problem that is not specific to any one of the Toyota/Lexus models involved.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706
    "....isn't that elusive...."

    Initial complaints started in 2002.

    No fix as of yet......

    But you miss the real point. The part that seems to be the most elusive is the fact that a very few are experiencing the hesitation delay symptom. I have little doubt at this point that Toyota has already implemented all of the gas saving features described in the Sierra Research article within the firmware of all of the new 5-speed transaxles. But why has that resulted in a very few instances wherein this implementation results in a very noticeable, maybe even unsafe or hazardous circumstance?

    Therein lies the elusive firmware "BUG".

    My suggestion at this point is that Toyota should provide a transmission mode inverse to the "snow" mode. Basically a mode switch (shades of Edson DeCastro/Tracy Kidder) wherein the owner tells the transaxle to be aggressive with the shifting logic, "expect that I will floor the accelerator pedal at any, the very next, moment" and be prepared for same.
  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    Guess I was wrong in attempting to offer constructive and creative solution options. It's clear collective emphasis here is polarized more or less on blame, in spite of forum titles to the contrary. I now have the distinct feeling there really isn't much interest in solutions after all.
    That said, I choose not to defend what I felt were helpful "food for thought" posts, nor will I take part in shooting them down with criticism when ideas like them appear.
    I explained very clearly why I posted what I thought might be helpful, so perhaps it's best to just leave it at that.
    If I come across any more constructive solutions, rest assured I'll do the same again.
  • Hylyner, I appreciate your input even if I agree with wwest's points. This board is helpful because some people considering the car will be more cautious on their test drive. In fact, I would be cautious with ANY automatic transmission car from any manufacturer. I just saw a an article in a leading Conumer information magazine where they complained of hesitation in a VW Passat with a 6 speed automatic transmission. I also see some glowing reviews and some very upset owners with the Mercedes Benz 7 speed transmission.

    My solution has been to drive the car (a 2003 Lexus ES 300) more like a manual transmission car. In any situation where I feel I possibly may need instant power, I manually shift the car into 3rd gear. I think the shifting around of the gear lever also affects the shifting algorithm in general (at least for a while).

    In bumper to bumper traffic, I use 2nd gear much of the time and enjoy the engine braking affect.

    Thanks. Your objective tone is encouraging. I too, have no problems with Wwest's ideas. He offers "food for thought" too.
    Just as my input was not "the" solution, Wwest's are "other" solutions, and--what you propose is yet "another" solution. This is good stuff!
    My feeling re what these forums have morphed into isn't what they were intended for. As I said above, there seems to be much more emphasis on "blame" than anything else. The process should be "define the problem" (that hasn't been done here)--then look for solutions, but it's gone the other way 'round IMO.
    It seems to me the "solution" has already been agreed upon, regardless, and the problem is continually being adapted to the solution.
    Wrong way to go about it, IMO.
  • Yep, this forum isn't serving any useful purpose at all. It has degenerated into the "Dog chasing its own tail". I do find some of the half baked theories about the cause of hesitation somewhat interesting though.
  • wwestwwest Posts: 10,706
    No, constructive and creative ideas are really what this forum is all about, especially until a solution is found. Just remember that when any of us come up with an idea we must be willing to accept the critiques.

    Remember my idea of modifying the IAT? Or the one about it being the inappropriate use of a solenoid as a linear servomotor? Those went absolutely no where, and for good cause I now firmly believe.

    Start to think of it as a back and forth discussion, a fully open discussion.

    Well, you really can't expect everyone to agree with your opinions regarding this problem, just like you don't agree with opinions expressed by others. That is a reality that has to be dealt with in discussion forums. Really what you presented about the aftermarket options is nothing to agree or disagree with. Interesting information. What I disagree with is your implication that since these options are out there, we should not be worried about this anymore because the solution is simple. I challenge that if the solution is so simple, why hasn't Toyota solved it yet. My opinion is that these aftermarket options either are not "the" solution or they may solve the problem while at the same time compromising some other characteristic of the vehicle(fuel economy?).

    The fact that many companies are offering products/services to correct the problem does not mean that they work either. As an analogy, there are hundreds if not thousands of hair restoration remedies on the market but that doesn't mean that they all work. It just means that the problem is big enough that companies think they can capitalize on it.
  • hylynerhylyner Posts: 216
    You asked a question in another post: "If Toyota isn't to blame here, then who is?" (No inference there--it's clearly indicative of where you are on this issue, right?)

    Well, you could start by learning more about why it affects only a few vehicles and not most others. Is that a design anomaly, a driving style problem, a sensitivity thing, something unique to that particular vehicle, and so on. If it was part of a design thing, then ALL of them should have problems--but that's not happening at all.
    No,don't bother to look elsewhere-- it's a big bad Toyota thing, blame it on a design flaw.
    Then there's a big mystery about the TSB. Why does it apparently work for some and not others?
    Could it be dealers aren't doing it right---or not doing it at all--or some aren't even having it done--or what?
    But no, it's a big bad Toyota thing, blame it on the design flaw.
    I could continue, but why bore you with a search for facts. I'm sure you're not interested, much less want to learn all there is to know about this issue. It's much easier to blame, blame, blame--that's become the predetermined name of this game IMO.
  • Yes, I have had the TSB. And they have erased the ECU memory several times. I have reported the problem, and they have attempted to fix the problem under warranty, four times now (which is the required number in my state). And, separately, I also met with the area Lexus manufacturer's Representative, who drove with me in my car, and drove my car with me in it, and was able to experience and replicate the problem.

    As for the TSB - my car is actually WORSE since the TSB. I know there are several people here in this forum for whom the TSB remedied the problem - so I would still suggest it to anyone who hasn't had it. It just didn't work for me....
  • I don't understand your paragraph #3 and #4. Can you explain further? What is 'sequential shift feature'? Is that like the Porche 'tiptronic' feature?
  • wwest - I agree with the thought of a button that is the inverse to the 'snow' mode. My SAAB had a button like that - I think it was called 'sport' mode. I used it on days when I wanted it to react more quickly. I do really wish my Lexus ES had a button like that.
  • I am not an engineer by any means, and I can tell that some of you are.....but as a person who IS experiencing this phenomenon, here's what I think makes the most sense from everything I've heard from you all and the dealer.

    This phenomenon is a combination of the following:

    1. The fuel economy focus, whereby the transmission is told to shift into a higher gear as soon as possible, or into neutral, based on certain circumstances.

    2. The concept someone touched on about protecting the clutch. When the car is in the higher gear, or neutral, and its now time to switch into a lower gear (or into gear) - some type of protection mechanism that is causing a delay.

    3. The Drive By Wire (DBW) technology, which maybe does not react as quickly as a hard-wired cable (I've seen this in waterski boats - Mastercraft had a huge problem with this a couple of years ago - but they ultimately found a fix....- don't know the specifics though)

    Those things make sense to me - based on what I experience in my car. The problem is that I haven't been able to pinpoint those exact circumstances where this delay occurs, such that I could stop doing whatever that is.

    I have concluded this is in fact a design issue. I've come to that conclusion not only based on what I've experienced, and what I've read here - but the dealer and the Mfr Rep both said 'its doing what it was designed to do'.

    As far as why only some cars do it, I've concluded that it is definitely driving style and circumstances based. I've come to that conclusion because I experience the same exact symptoms in EVERY Lexus ES I have driven (i.e. loaner cars at the dealer). And further, the dealer and the Mfr Rep both told me that this is something that only a percentage of the population experience, and they told me that I would experience it in all ES models.

    So, given all of this, I don't understand why either the dealer, or the manufacturer, won't help me get out of this car at a price where neither of us will loose (or make) money.
  • I came across another 'solution' today (although it may cause an uproar with some of you)....

    There is another ES here in town that has written 'I hate my Lexus' on the windows.

    I may actually try that myself....

View Full Version : looking for someone that knows where to find the fish

01-22-2012, 06:57 PM
I own a 17 ft cape horn inshore/offshore. Been fishing the jetties area with no luck. I used to fish offshore in the gulf of mexico catching , snappers, kingfish, spanish mackeral, amberjack, triggerfish, grouper but since i moved here, catching those aren't an option since i've heard you have to go pretty far out offshore to get those. Im comfortable taking the boat out offshore so long as the water is calm and within my limits.

Looking for someone who knows the inshore areas and offshore areas to show me where the fish are. Wouldn't mind catching some slot reds, trout, sheepshead, or drum, flounder and occasional offshore trips weather permitting.

03-11-2012, 09:46 PM
I'm planning on going out tomorrow. Ive been fishing in the Chicopit area catching trout and flounder on DOA shrimp. Ive seen reports of sheepshead. Might target those too. Anyone else going or wanna go?

03-12-2012, 08:32 PM
Sounds like your having a rough time adjusting cambo. well i think i may be able to help you. i work a west marine in st john towncenter(fishing dept). I sold my boat and just go out on friends when i can. If you want to take a trip some time i would be more then glad to share some local knowledge and have some fun. My names andrew pass by west marine.

03-12-2012, 09:09 PM
Im planning on going fishing this whole week. Weather looks good. Next time im in there ill look for you. thanks.

Is it necessary to run spanning tree in a metro ethernet network that relies on ERPS for fault tolerance?  It would seem counterproductive to me to run both.

Re: ERPS and STP

yes, stp has role to play, when any packet resilient protocol like ERPS (G.8032v2) or Foundry's MRP / Huwaei's RRPP / Cisco's REP is already running on the metro ...

these protocol are suitable to provide ring protection over metro-rings in comparison to conventional STP/MSTP/RSTP which is used normal ethernet scenarios ...

Re: ERPS and STP

Thanks for the response, but I'm still not clear.  If ERPS is used to block ports on a ring, then what purpose does MSTP serve, seeing's how it could take up to a minute to propogate topology changes?

Re: ERPS and STP

[ Edited ]

MSTP does not take a minute to converge, it's based on RSTP(inside MSTP domain) and it's really fast.

If properly engineered it gives really good results.

Regarding your question, ERPS only helps when you have ring topologies but it's not suitable for mesh ones, so in order to be on the safe side you better run both, otherwise you risc a lot as any unexpected loop can bring the whole network down.

Re: ERPS and STP

To follow on a bit from Dumitru's post - ERPs and others require the topology to be statically configured, generally through e use of a "carrier" VLAN for the ERPs token which is used to form the ring.

MSTP on the other hand caters for dynamic and unexpected topologies (the human factor), because it will converge any topology thrown at it to be loop-free.

There are definitely ways to mitigate against loops in a metro environment so that you no longer need MSTP (shut down non-ring ports, tunnel or filter customer L2 protocols etc), but at the end of the day it comes down to risk.

    Default Seasonal allergies

    I have bad seasonal allergies. I was on shots for 5 years. I took a year off then developed allergy induced asthma. I was just re starting shots when I decided to get pregnant and thus had to stop. Three questions:

    What can I do for allergies for myself while ebf?
    Can I get shots safely while ebf?
    Will my baby get immunity to ragweed, grass pollen
    And tree pollen through my breast milk?

    Default Giving the baby water

    My husband and I went to a crawfish boil last weekend and my 4 month old became overheated. I was bottle feeding him that day and took him to my husbands office to cool him down. Gave him his bottle, which he took 12 ounces of. Stripped him down to his diaper and layed him on the cool desk. I have been told this was a perfect time to give him water. Should I have.

    Default Re: Giving the baby water

    No. Babies should be fed breastmilk or formula alone until 6 months. No water, no solids. Milk (or formula) provides all the hydration a baby requires. Water provides hydration but lacks the electrolytes present in milk (or formula) and therefore too much water can actually throw off a baby's electrolyte balance and make him sick- and because young babies have low body mass, "too much" water can be a relatively small quantity. In addition, water lacks the protective immune components of breastmilk and can be contaminated with things you wouldn't want your baby to drink (bacteria, amoebas, etc.).

Interactive Quicktime and the 5G iPod

Discussion in 'iPod' started by macmaniacttt, Oct 20, 2005.

  1. macmaniacttt macrumors member

    Mar 4, 2004
    Hey guys,

    I was wondering: Does the 5G iPod support the interactive QuickTimes that Keynote creates? The ones that activate the next transition when you click the mouse or push the spacebar?

    This would be a great feature for presenters if it were enabled, and even if it is currently not supported, it would be a simple software updates for all of the iPods. If anybody has a 5G iPod but does not have Keynote, tell me and I'll post a sample one.

  2. emutree macrumors member

    Sep 4, 2005
    Even without it, you could export a Quicktime movie from in Keynote and pause the movie after each transition, then unpause it to show the next one, then pause it again.
    A temporary solution for now. I figure Keynote 3'll have an "Export to iPod" option that'll be more elegant.

I remember it appearing in 2 places.
1. It was the song the gay animals and Big gay Al was dancing to.
2. The music to the Cat orgy.

Can someone please help me find it?

I don't think it's a bad idea in concept. It'd be interesting if Stark's tech became self aware, actually.

If Marvel don't get Hank Pym in these movies then the logical way to get to Ultron is through Stark and his tech.

3.Thor 2: I liked first one this one sounds more promising. I love for nordic culture & myths.I can watch Anthony Hopkins 24/7.
4.Iron Man 3: It sounds like more The Dark Knight. It's good because i thought second movie is cheesy.

Default Re: Batman After Nolan

I'm just going to pretend for the moment that the Justice League film and any spin-offs or continuity with past or future films do not exist.

Some fantasy Batman film reboot principles:

* No long-winded origin story.
I love me a good drawn-out origin story, let me tell you. Brief flashbacks could be all that's needed in a new continuity. No harm with brief flashbacks in any sequels to this film either, so long as bad retconning is avoided.

* Focus on the activities of Batman and Bruce Wayne. Not the GCPD and the supporting cast.
The BM/BW actor should be in the far vast majority of shots in the film, interacting with the supporting cast. It should be scripted accordingly.

* No multiple love interests.
One movie only has so much time to establish one in a great way, let alone more than that.

* Take a break from the terrorists.
We just had a string of films dealing with post-9/11 angst and it's time to move beyond that. I appreciate that it gave us some cool villains but to carve its own path and really be a reboot it's time for a new theme.

These things alone should enhance the product incredibly.
I don't necessarily disagree with most of this, but I'm fine with Bully Ray being champion right now. I think he's done some of the best work of his career over the last year and a half or so (starting around the "calfzilla" era through his current run as the paranoid champion). He should absolutely drop the belt at Bound For Glory, though. Ideally to AJ, if they can somehow salvage that storyline.

I enjoyed Star Trek but there was a lot of lame **** going on, and people genuinely disliked the Khan stuff. Pacific Rim had fun fights, but it was a crap story with bad acting. Thor was a lot better than Iron Man, but after i saw it the second time it just felt a lot cornier.

Id say Man Of Steel was the blockbuster of the summer but Hunger Games was the blockbuster of the entire year.

I guess 2012 had it better when you look at Skyfall, Avengers, Dark Knight Rises and Amazing Spider-Man.

But that's why i dont pay too much attention to the "blockbusters" of each year. It doesnt matter to me. I care about the films we're getting outside of that. Outside of the box-office numbers, explosions, etc. And 2013 might be the best year for cinema ive seen in a lonnnng time.

  • BOSTON (AP) — Better go dig out your library cards, Boston residents.
    A national survey of America's most literate cities has found that Boston has dropped two places in the ranks to seventh place.
    Central Connecticut State University president Jack Miller conducts the annual survey that measures resources for reading in America's 75 biggest cities.
    The study uses research data for a half-dozen key indicators, including library and Internet resources, newspaper circulation and booksellers.
    The data are compared against population rates to develop literacy profiles for each city.
    Topping the charts this year was Washington, followed by Seattle, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Denver and St. Paul.

« Discussing Weekend Rain & Snow Chances... | Main | A Winter Storm Watch has been Issued for portions of Kentuckiana! »

The Snow Won't Melt! Is it Fake?...

Social media has been blowing up with videos of people claiming that the snow is fake! They hold a lighter up to a ball of snow, then freak out when it doesn't melt and begins turning black. Some have even reported the snow has a "chemical" smell to it when burned. This video will refresh your memory on the subject...

Video Courtesy: Titus OneTenEleven

A ton of people quickly cried out that it must be from the chem trails or that a conspiracy theory is to blame. Trust me, I would be the first one to point the finger at our government for suspicious activity. In this case there is a perfectly good scientific explanation to debunk these claims.

As you know, we have been dealing with crazy cold temperatures so far this winter. When readings both at the surafce and in the atmosphere are well below the freezing mark, it limits the amount of liquid in the snow. Have you noticed that the snow is light and powery as opposed to wet and heavy? This dry snow has way more air pockets between the snow crystals. When a lighter is placed against the snow, the snow vaporizes in a process called sublimation. Sublimation is the process of converting a solid to a gas, without the intermediate liquid stage. Now it should begin to make a bit more sense. The snow turned into vapor instead of melting into a puddle and any liquid that did form got absorbed by the snow.

The bottom line here is that dry snow just doesn't have a high enough water content, when paired with extreme heat, to result in a puddle. One last thing, the black spots and the "chemical smell" can be attributed to the lighter. If you put a lighter under nearly anything, it will leave behind black soot. Last but not least, the fumes are from the butane in the lighter.

Finally some one with science understanding comments. Thank you.

I am still laughing, thanks for the great explaination, thought my grandson was going to be paranoid about snow for the rest of his life!

I tried that experiment four times withing two states and four counties and did not have that type of reaction. Even tried melting in container and found same effect.

The snow did melt, just as expected and the soot was caused by the lighter.

Hahaha! Sublimation?? It's remaining a solid!!!

It does not evaporate or melt, how is that sublimation?

How embarrassing.

If you believe that snow can be exposed to 1200-1800F flame, and remain a solid, you need to see a doctor.

Sublimation...so embarrassing.

haha fox lies news..this is the best explanation you come up with....yet the ignorant americans believe the media....remeber;the news is only good for creating fear...

Capturing the world through photography, video and multimedia

Duke Morrison's football movies

Duke Morrison’s football movies

May 17, 1929: A group of current and former football players pose for a Los Angeles Times photographer before heading to Maryland to appear in the movie “Salute.” From left are Clark Galloway, Russell Saunders, Jack Butler, Tony Steponovitch, Joe Fleming, Hayden Pythian, Jess Shaw, Frank Anthony, Al Schaub, Winfield Smith (Fox representative) and Duke Morrison.  Most of the players were affiliated with USC.

In the next day’s Los Angeles Times, this photo accompanied a story headlined: “U.S.C. Football Stars’ Status Periled by Film Stunt.”

From the Times article:

Surrounded by what they hoped would be deep secrecy, fourteen local college players, some of them scheduled to star on next year’s University of Southern California team, were aboard a Union Pacific train last night speeding toward the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, where they will participate in the filming of a motion-picture of football life for a local studio.

The squad left from Central Station at 11 o’clock yesterday morning accompanied by representatives of the Fox Film Corporation….

…Some of he youths feared their motion-picture work might be regarded as professionalism, and their eligibility for next year’s team challenged.

Duke Morrison and the other players filmed a fictional Army-Navy football game for the movie, then quickly returned to California.  All eligible players kept their amateur status and played that fall for USC.

Morrison, whose real name was Marion Morrison, played on the 1925 undefeated USC freshman team. He was also on the 1926 varsity team but a shoulder injury — sustained while bodysurfing off Newport Beach’s Balboa Peninsula  — and a Fox Studios job offer ended his football career.

At Fox, Morrison, a prop man, found work as a football-playing extra in the movies  “Brown of Harvard (1926), “The Dropkick” (1927), Columbia’s “Maker of Men” (1931) and the previously mentioned Fox “Salute” (1929).

Along the way, Morrison changed his professional name to Duke Morrison — Duke being the name of a childhood dog.

In 1930, Fox Studios officials changed Morrison’s professional name to John Wayne.

Nantucket Travel: Getting Here

As you make your vacation plans for Nantucket, here is some useful info. Mostly getting to Nantucket and Century House is adventurous and memorable. Guests asks how to get here and most already know that you can only get here by boat or plane (unless you swim, not recommended). Occasionally people will ask if there is a bridge to Nantucket.  No, there isn't a bridge or a tunnel to Nantucket.

You can fly from the Cape Cod - Hyannis area to Nantucket in about 15 minutes. You can take the ferry for 1 hr. or the slow ferry, which is 2 hr. and 15 minutes. The slow ferry takes cars, and you have to make reservations in advance or you will likely not have space. Once you get here you can walk to Century House from either one of the two Nantucket ferry docks: Steamboat Wharf or Straight Wharf depending which ferry you decide to take. Steamship Authority or Hy-Line Cruises are the two ferry companies. Steamship Authority docks on Nantucket at Steamboat Wharf, Hy-Line Cruises docks at Straight Wharf.

Check the airport closest to you. You might find out you can fly to Nantucket directly. You can also fly into Boston, MA. You can then either rent a car and drive to Hyannis, MA, or you can take the Plymouth-Brockton bus-line directly into Hyannis, MA. You can check the Plymouth-Brockton schedule, they depart often directly from Boston Airport.

First timers? We recommend taking the ferry, as you will make memories for a lifetime.

Burkenroad Symposium tackles ethics of social media

Burkenroad Symposium

Burkenroad Institute director Adrienne Colella, left, with panelist David Vinjamuri. Vinjamuri emphasized the importance of ethics in social media at this year’s symposium.

If there was an overriding theme at this year’s Burkenroad Symposium, “Taming the Dragon: The Ethics of Doing Business in the World of Social Media,” panelist David Vinjamuri summed it up best.

“Just because you can doesn’t mean you should,” said Vinjamuri, founder of ThirdWay Brand Trainers and “Brand Truth” columnist for Forbes magazine. “There are many things that are perfectly legal and not at all ethical.”

Michelle Sherman

Attorney Michelle Sherman discussed some of the legal issues of social media.

Vinjamuri was one of three national experts who took on the topic of ethics and social media for this year’s symposium. Joining Vinjamuri were Michelle Sherman, a Los Angeles-based attorney who specializes in social media law, and Chris Weil, global chairman and CEO of New York-based marketing firm Momentum Worldwide. Laila Morcos, senior account public relations executive at Peter A. Mayer Advertising, moderated the discussion.

The symposium, an annual presentation of the Freeman School’s Burkenroad Institute, took place on Feb. 10 in Dixon Hall.

Vinjamuri cited a laundry list of ethical and legal transgressions committed by businesses in their social media activities, everything from secretly sponsoring bloggers to promote their companies to creating phony review sites to hype their products. Invariably, Vinjamuri said, those misdeeds come back to haunt those businesses.

“It’s not okay to assume that you can influence people in a way that you wouldn’t be comfortable with if everyone knew,” Vinjamuri said. “The only thing that is of value is your reputation as a company, as a brand or as an individual, and all those things will be gone if you misbehave.”

Despite social media’s reputation as the Wild Wild West, Sherman said many of the laws governing offline business conduct also apply to social media. For example, employers can’t enforce social media policies that punish employees for engaging in protected activities—such as criticizing a manager or complaining about working conditions—on a personal Facebook page.

“If you have a social media policy, you don’t want it to be overbroad,” Sherman said. “We’ve seen companies fire employees that they then had to rehire because they fired them based on protected activity.”

Chris Weil

Marketing executive Chris Weil, left, and panel moderator Laila Morcos. Weil said social media is transforming traditional intellectual property models.

Weil closed things out with a discussion of how social media is changing intellectual property models, and he also got the biggest laugh of the morning by making his point via YouTube sensation Antoine Dodson. Dodson became an Internet celebrity after his interview with a local TV news crew about an intruder who broke into his home went viral. Weil showed a clip of Dodson’s original interview and then a clip of “Bed Intruder Song,” a recording and video by the Gregory Brothers, a Brooklyn-based band that sampled Dodson’s impassioned rant to hilarious effect. Instead of simply appropriating Dodson’s voice for their own financial gain, the band reached out to Dodson and signed an agreement to split all proceeds from the song with him.

“They did the brilliant thing,” Weil explained. “They said, ‘Hey, we didn’t write these lyrics. We added value to something that happened, and we’re going to share, 50-50, all the proceeds with the person that did.’”

Weil said that philosophy, one in which social media participants share credit and profits, is destined to become the new standard.

“That’s how things are going to be going forward. The co-creation model.”

2012 GRAMMY Awards: Who Will Take Record of the Year?

The 2012 GRAMMYs are just days away! Finally all the talk will become reality and we’ll either be disappointed or pleased, or both. And the Red Carpet is bound to be just as exciting as the show itself.

[photogallerylink id=69315]

This past year has given us some unforgettable tunes. Adele made us weep with “Someone Like You” and “Rolling in the Deep.” Rihanna made us want to dance and perhaps question her feelings about ex boyfriend Chris Brown (see “We Found Love” video), Katy Perry made the sky light up with “Fireworks,” hoping we wouldn’t be “The One That Got Away” and Bruno Mars expressed what it’s like living on the Jersey Shore, singing about “Grenades” …okay that’s not what that song was about, but still.

Back to business. This year’s Record of the Year category is overflowing with talent, so you know that I’ll be at the edge of my seat!

Here are the nominees! Who do want to take home the shiny Gramophone? Let us know NOW!

Before you jump in and take the poll, we want to make sure you’re familiar with [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]Mumford and Sons[/lastfm] and [lastfm link_type=”artist_info”]Bon Iver[/lastfm]. Check it out, yo!

Bon Iver’s video for “Holocene”

Don’t forget to tune in on Sunday night at 8 PM Eastern on CBS to see who wins the biggest award of the night.

Comment below on your favorite artists up for the big award this year.

And while I have you here: What do you think Lady Gaga will wear this year? She already made an entrance in an egg, dressed as her alter ego Joe Calderone, wore a dress made out of Kermits, a meat dress… am I missing anything? I’m sure I am and I’m sure she won’t disappoint us in this department!
