bullfrogs singing in the dead of night "take these broken wigs and learn fly" my oh my we are always waiting for the matchbox to be free. tweeter and the monkey man posting in the mod thread:chaos au duex. there is no function at the junction Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away. white bird must fly 99 red balloons or she will die riding that train high on cocaine. watch your speed Casey has struck out. rock around the clock

In 1859, Ferdinand Maximilian was first approached by Mexican monarchists — members of the Mexican aristocracy, led by local nobleman José Pablo Martínez del Río — with a proposal to become the Emperor of Mexico.

Krebs - some folks think you to be a pretty reasonable person. I don't often see how they reach that conclusion - but I have to admit - I'm starting to feel a bit more at home in these "chaos" threads - they actually are beginning to make more sense than some other areas of the forums. Sheesh.

Well, anyway, I can almost hear the singin' "Bullfrogs singing in the dead of niiiiiight! . . ."

Mr. Peabody. I remember a Mr. Peabody - he wore glasses, and fixed things for his kid. A rather 2-dimensional character in some, physical, ways - he was multidimensional on the psych/ethics/mental planes. Well, maybe.
It's a beautiful day, grateful (I'm not) dead, but your balloons are skipping around in time worse than Tooter Turtle.

Heeeellp! Mr. Wizard! Mr. Wiiiizzzard!

When Karen Keegan, a 52-year old Boston teacher, needed a kidney transplant, her three sons were tested if they are acceptable donors. Soon the tests revealed that two of Keegan’s sons did not match Keegan genetic profile. Further tests showed that Keegan has chimerism, a condition where two fraternal twins grow in the womb, but the first twin ‘absorbs’ the other twin, making the resulting embryo contain two different sets of DNA, oftentimes in different parts of the body. To prove that Keegan is indeed the boys’ mother, doctors began tracking the second DNA set in her body, and found it in her thyroid gland.

"Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started"
"Isn't it unsafe to travel at night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. You're father's gunna pick up our trail before long"
"Can Loca ride?"
"Yeah, I can ride, Margaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything"
"Goodbye Chenga"
"Goodbye miss"
"I'll be back"

Is there anybody out there?

Bedding allows your brakes to reach their full potential. Until they are bedded, your brakes simply do not work as well as they can. If you've installed a big brake kit, changed your pads and rotors, or even purchased a brand new car, you should set aside time to bed the brakes according to the instructions below. Proper bedding improves pedal feel, reduces or eliminates brake squeal, prevents (and often cures) brake judder, reduces brake dust, and extends the life of your pads and rotors.
From 60mph, gently apply the brakes a couple of times to bring them up to operating temperature. This prevents you from thermally shocking the rotors and pads in the next steps.
Make eight to ten near-stops from 60mph to about 10-15 mph. Do it HARD by pressing the brakes firmly, but do not lock the wheels or engage ABS. At the end of each slowdown, immediately accelerate back to 60mph and then apply the brakes again. DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! If you stop completely and sit with your foot on the brake pedal, you will imprint pad material onto the hot rotors, which could lead to vibration and uneven braking.
The brakes may begin to fade after the 7th or 8th near-stop. This fade will stabilize, but not completely go away until the brakes have fully cooled. A strong smell from the brakes, and even some smoke, is normal.
After the last near-stop, accelerate back up to speed and cruise for a while, using the brakes as little as possible. The brakes need only a few minutes to cool down. Try not to become trapped in traffic or come to a complete stop while the brakes are still very hot. After the break-in cycle, there should be a slight blue tint and a light gray film on the rotor face. The blue tint tells you the rotor has reached break-in temperature and the gray film is pad material starting to transfer onto the rotor face. This is what you are looking for. The best braking occurs when there is an even layer of of pad material deposited across the rotors. This minimizes squealing, increases braking torque, and maximizes pad and rotor life. After the first break in cycle shown above, the brakes may still not be fully broken in. A second bed-in cycle, AFTER the brakes have cooled down fully from the first cycle, may be necessary before the brakes really start to perform well. This is especially true if you have installed new pads on old rotors, since the pads need time to conform to the old rotor wear pattern.
