These instructions cover the VANOS system dis-assembly procedure only. Reassembly and cam timing are covered by a different D.I.Y. page accessible from the "DIY Tech Page".

I highly recommend that you completely read through the entire instructions before you begin to familiarize yourself with the procedure.

If you cannot have a computer near by during this procedure, print off these PDF instructions.

Make sure that you read each step fully from beginning to end before you perform any part of a step. Some steps contain multiple procedures, and some steps contain information at the end of the step, that is crucial to completing the step properly. We have had several people complete these instructions to make sure that every step is clear and understandable. The only time anyone ever encountered a problem was when they started a step before they read the entire step through first.

Mouse over images in the instructions to view full size
According to the BMW Service Manual, the following disassembly needs to be completed prior to servicing the VANOS, cam sprockets, cams or timing chains:
  • Intake filter housing
  • Cooling fan. fan clutch & cowling
  • Cylinder head (valve) cover
  • Spark Plugs
  • Right coolant hose
  • Plastic cover over intake cam

These instructions assume that the you have already completed the above.

These instruction pertain to both German Auto Solutions 'M54-M52tu Cam Timing Tool Sets Use these disassembly instructions for both the Professional & Personal Cam Timing Tool Sets.

Start by setting the crankshaft to TDC. There is an alignment mark on the harmonic balancer that needs to align with the boss on the front timing cover as shown in the picture. It's a good idea to highlight the mark to make it more visible. In the picture at left I used a pick tool and some yellow paint to highlight the mark.

There are two possible positions for the crank at TDC that are 360 degrees apart. The next instruction block will show how to determine if you have the correct position.

After setting the crankshaft to TDC, check the position of the cams. Note the two holes facing up on the rear ends of the camshafts in the picture at left. If you do not see the two holes facing up you will need to rotate the crankshaft one full revolution and align the TDC marks again.

Do not proceed until you verify that the holes on the cams are facing up and the the crankshaft is at TDC.

Locate the TDC lock pin that came in the tool kit. The lock pin is inserted though the engine block on lower rear drivers side on the engine. There is a plastic plug installed into this hole by BMW to help keep dirt out of the hole. You will need to remove this plug to use the lock pin. The hole will still have some dirt and oxidation build up on the I.D. that will need to be cleaned out before installing the pin. A wire "bottle style" brush that fits into the hole works best. Clean the hole until the lock pin will slide through.

This is a view of the lock pin hole in the flywheel or automatic transmission flex plate. This is what the end of the pin needs to slide into. Verify the pin is fully engaged into the hole by trying to rotate the crankshaft with the pin installed. If you can still rotate the crank, rock the crankshaft back and forth slowly near TDC while pushing on the pin until it drops into place and locks the crank. This will be a two person job.

Unplug the electrical connectors for the exhaust cam position sensor and exhaust VANOS solenoid.

Unplug the electrical connector for the intake VANOS solenoid. Disconnect the oil feed fitting to the VANOS unit.

Remove the 2 VANOS piston access plugs using an 8mm Allen wrench or driver.

There are two plastic oil plug behind the access covers. These will be removed in the next step.

Grab the divider in the middle of the plug with some needle nose pliers, twist and pull until the plugs pop out.

This is what the plug looks like. You will want to replace the o-ring or the entire plug during reassembly.

Using a T30 Torx driver, remove the intake and exhaust piston screws.

Left handed piston screw removed.

Next we will be removing the VANOS unit from the cylinder head. Remove the hardware securing the VANOS unit shown in the picture.

10, 11 and 13mm sockets will be required here.

Remove the VANOS unit from the cylinder head. You may need to tap it with a rubber mallet to break the gasket loose. Once removed, thoroughly clean the gasket surfaces of both the cylinder head and the VANOS unit. Remove all traces of old gasket material and RTV sealant.

Using a 10mm socket, completely loosen the six nuts shown in the picture.

Do not remove them yet

Using an E8 Torx socket, crack loose the three Torx head bolts shown in the picture.

Do not remove them yet.

Note the hole in the secondary timing chain tensioner shown in the picture. This is where you will be installing the tensioner lock pin in the next step.

Locate the tensioner lock pin that came in the cam tool kit. Press down on the secondary timing chain at the tensioner guide shoe, then insert the lock pin as shown.

You need to press the guide shoe down as far as it will go. The pin only needs to protrude far enough to overlap the shoe. The pin does not need to extend under the chain. It's a good idea to tie piece of string or wire to the loop in the lock pin to prevent the possibility of dropping it into the engine.

View of lock pin properly installed.

Remove the primary timing chain tensioner with a 32mm (1-1/4") socket or wrench.

Locate the cam lock blocks from the tool kit. Starting with the intake cam, slide the block marked "IN" over the square end of the intake cam as shown in the picture. Preview the pictures in steps 22-24 for a better view of the way the blocks need to be installed.Using a 24mm wrench at the spot shown, if necessary, slightly rock the cam forward and backward while pushing down firmly on the lock block to seat the block flush with the head surface. The block should slid on easily and be obvious when seated properly.

Repeat the process with the "EX" lock block on the exhaust camshaft. Again, go slowly, be careful, and do not force the block into place.

This is what the installed lock blocks should look like. Verify again that they are both fully seated flush with the cylinder head surface.

Locate the supplied 8mm socket head cap screw. Using a 6mm Allen wrench or driver, lightly snug the screw to lock the two blocks together

Locate the lock block clamp from the tool kit. Position the clamp over the valve cover stud as shown. Locate one of the OEM valve cover barrel nuts from the valve cover dis-assembly.

Lightly snug down the barrel nut to hold the lock blocks in place.

Remove the three already loosened 6mm hex nuts holding the intake sprocket spring washer in place.

Remove the intake sprocket spring washer.

Remove the three already loosened hex nuts holding the exhaust cam position sensor plate.

Remove the exhaust cam position sensor plate.

Remove the exhaust sprocket spring washer.

The exhaust sprocket thrust washer is a tight fit over the shoulder studs, you need to pull it off straight or rock it to keep it from binding on the studs.

Remove the exhaust sprocket thrust washer. It's definitely not critical, but you may want to mark the side that faces outward for proper reassembly. The part is symmetrical and will work properly with either side facing out. Marking it just keeps previous wear surfaces mated to their original parts.

Remove the three already loosened E8 Torx head bolts holding the exhaust cam sprocket in place, but do not remove the sprocket yet.

While holding the intake cam sprocket from sliding off the cam, remove the intake cam helix cup by pulling outward on it.

The intake and exhaust helix cups are identical, but should be reinstalled back on the cam that they were removed from. An easy way to keep them separate is to put all the intake cam parts in one plastic bag, and all the exhaust in another.

Intake cam helix cup removed.

Support the exhaust cam sprocket as you remove the exhaust cam helix cup in the same way as you did the intake.

Once the cup is removed the exhaust sprocket will try to fall forward. You want to remove the both sprockets and secondary timing chain together as an assembly, so preview the next step to see how the chain/sprocket assembly will be removed. Remove the cup, then the chain/sprocket assembly.

You remove the secondary timing chain and sprockets by grasping the outside edge of both sprockets, then pulling straight back.

Sprockets being removed.

Depending on how you grasped the exhaust sprocket in the previous step, you may have already removed this part. If not, remove the exhaust sprocket helix flange.

If you are not going to replace the secondary timing chain tensioner, intermediate timing chain guide or camshafts, you are finished with the dis-assembly. If you are going to replace any of these, proceed to the next paragraph.

Using a 10mm socket, remove the three top and one side bolt securing the secondary timing chain tensioner.

Remove the secondary timing chain tensioner.

Using an E8 Torx socket, remove the two Torx head screws securing the intermediate timing chain guide, them remove the guide.

If you are not going to remove the camshafts then you are finished with the disassembly.

If you are going to remove the camshafts, then proceed by removing the three hex studs on the exhaust cam flange with an 12mm deep well socket.

With the hex studs removed, slide the main drive sprocket toward you then down. This will give you enough slack to slip the timing chain off of the sprocket.

Using a 10mm deep well socket or wrench, remove the three intake cam hex studs shown.

Remove the intake cam position sensor plate.

You have now completed the disassembly of the VANOS system.

Refer to either the Professional or Personal Cam Tool Kit assembly and timing instructions to reassemble and time the VANOS system.

GuterHund Hi Back! I am thrilled to see someone from Springfield MO! I have been calling around trying to find trainers and GSD/Malinois folks in the area. I have contacted the local training club - they are in process of getting some things going.... Any body doing IPO or other things of interest? Can you point me in any direction? Thanks so much. I am located about 40 miles S of Branson and it is a little over an hour's drive to Sprfld. How nice of you to say howdy.

Hi from Springfield, MO! Welcome to the forum!
02-25-2014 03:38 PM
GuterHund Thank you for your warm welcome and kind thoughts.
I have found much comfort reading here about everyone and your wonderful dogs.

Thank you for the correct interpretation of my "username". I suppose it will do- I had intended for it to be the " aw what a good dog" meaning. The other nuanced definition may be just fine as well...I guess I'll keep it .

I have been all over the place reading, reading, reading....I just haven't taken the time to develop a signature or proper avatar and profile yet. I will try to do that soon.

I currently have an 8 year old circus dog/Meerkat mix (that is my best guess). I need to get her in my signature I guess..

My search is going to be for an adult or an older puppy for a variety of reasons (known personality-WYSIWYG). Most of my dogs have had checkered pasts and this time I would like to get one who has a good health history and not a lot of baggage.

A puppy is just too challenging at this time. I would like to know a lot more about early childhood training before I attempt to raise (another) one.

I have other comments to make and I will try to post them in appropriate threads.
Once again thanks for the welcome and my compliments on a very useful friendly forum.

OK thanks.

Charlie W Guter Hund does mean good dog, but only as in it's a good type of dog not as in well behaved or "aw, you're a good dog.." Hope that makes sense! Good luck with your search
02-24-2014 10:13 PM
SuperG I sense that is exactly what you will do...." give that dog the best home possible"

Best of luck in your pursuits,

I have been lurking for quite some time. This forum is a fabulous resource- I am so happy to have found it!
I am a long time dog/(other animal) rescuer. I have had the privilege of having had 2 purebred wonderful GSD's who were from working lines ( or so I am told...who actually knows I never saw any papers).
The first was in the early 1980's and was imported from Germany by a Schutzhund enthusiast. He was injured as a pup- a freak accident. The importer asked me if I would like to have him to physically rehab since he didn't have time or resources to devote -I was thrilled- I said YES!. He was precious.
I had always wanted to get a dog like that again- but- it seemed I always ended up with a full house without actually going out to acquire a particular dog. I had labradors, rottweilers, JRTs and Australian Cattle Dogs.
I had a (short) period of time in which I had no dogs and was doing some volunteer work with some local law enforcement folks. I indicated I would love to acquire a military or LEO dog who needed a home..idle blather .... 4 hours after making that statement, I got a call. There was a GSD female which had to be repurposed (?). She hadn't "worked out" for a small LEO group. Would I like to have her? I went to visit, she was drop dead gorgeous, she growled at me- I was hooked. Hehehe. What a clueless idiot.
We both survived. I got the best friend/partner you have asked for out of the deal. She was my shadow for over a decade. I was lucky and very blessed. These dogs are so very special.
She passed on Jan 1, 2014. I am here now doing my due diligence to find her successor and to prepare to give that dog the best home possible.
What an interesting, knowledgeable group this is!
So- helloo and Thank you for all your info.
An aside- I hope my username means Good Dog- if not, let me know.....hehehe I used some internet translator...
Okey doke. That's all folks.

Springbrz Pyoderma in Dogs | Definition, Causes & Treatment | VCA Animal Hospitals

My dog had pyoderma on her belly when we got her. Vet put her on a antibiotics for a week. She had a recurrence after her second set of shots and did another week of antibiotics. The 3rd time I started her on coconut oil orally and topically and it cleared up on it's own.

Although the linked site above says antibiotics are prescribed for 2-6 weeks. My VCA vet said she would not prescribe more than 1 week at a time in a young pup as their immune system is fragile and their weight changes to rapidly for accurate dosing.

Oscar Pistorius to spend 30 days as outpatient at a mental health hospital for psychiatric evaluation

The Blade runner will be seen by a team of four psychiatrists at Weskoppies Hospital, Pretoria

Google Street View Weskoppies Hospital, Pretoria where Oscar Pistorius will be evaluated

Oscar Pistorius is to be monitored by four psychiatrists as an outpatient as part of his trial.

The Blade Runner will be seen by the team of doctors at Weskoppies Hospital, Pretoria, for 30 days from 9am until 4pm every day.

The tests that will be carried out on him are taking place to find out whether he was criminally responsible on the night he shot dead Reeva Steenkamp on February 14 last year.

The evaluations will start next Monday lasting no longer than 30 days and the court will return on June 30.

The decision by Judge Thokozile Masipa followed a request for a psychiatric evaluation by chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel.

The prosecutor said he had no option but to ask for it after an expert witness for the defence said Pistorius had an anxiety disorder that might have played a role when he shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

Oscar Pistorius in court
Oscar Pistorius in court

There are three possible outcomes from the evaluation.

1. Pistorius was mentally incapacitated at the time of the shooting. This could lead the trial to collapse and would potentially see him being committed to a mental institution until he is no longer ruled to be dangerous.

2. He could be found to have diminished responsiblity. The trial would continue but it would have to be taken into consideration if he was found guilty.

3. The experts could disagree with the defence psychiatrist.

Pistorius says he killed Steenkamp by mistake, thinking there was an intruder in his home. The prosecution says the Olympic runner killed her after an argument.

The hospital was established in 1892 and was originally called the Pretoria Lunatic Asylum (Krankzinnigengesticht te Pretoria).

According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health: "The hospital's medical director followed an enlightened approach to caring for the mentally ill, in line with the policies of psychiatric hospitals in contemporary Europe.

"However, his ideals of no restraint and minimal confinement of patients could not be maintained during the war years owing to insufficient accommodation and a lack of suitably trained attendants.

"It is concluded that the humane care of the institutionalised psychiatric patient was (and is) not guaranteed by enlightened policies, but depends on sufficient resources to put such policies into practice.

Lesson Plans

bunny ears

I find that a certain amount of PR is necessary with classroom teachers. I
have had classroom teachers ask me to do outrageous stuff where I wonder
just what do these people think I do?" I will in response to a request for
bunny ears or snowmen make an attempt to find some fine arts alternative
(as suggested by kirbys' letter) that will satisfy them. But it is not
beneath me to do some dorky stuff for someone in the building just to get
along. I will try to make it clear that it is not the kind of stuff I
usually do and refer to my curriculum. I mean after all you don't want it
to get out of hand or you'll be doing bunny ears every year!

Beaver Island

From: Ann Carolan (acarolan_at_TeacherArtExchange)
Date: Tue May 27 2003 - 13:20:19 PDT

Let me know if you got the information on the summer workshops on Beaver
Island and if you were able to contact Jim Gillingham regarding them.
Lyris sent back all my messages as undeliverable so I don't know if anyone
got them. Also, I would be happy to help answer any questions you might
have on CMU's programs at the Bio-Station on Beaver Island. It is an
exquisite setting and the classes are wonderful.

Melomane have been together eight years and released three albums, with much of their support coming from Germany.

Wa court hands 15 years jail term to two robbers

Share This

A High Court in Wa has sentenced two persons each to 15 years imprisonment in hard labuor after they were found guilty of robbery.

The court presided over by his lordship Justice Kwasi Boakye found the duo Fataw Abdul Rahman alias Awuche and Kamal Iddrisu guilty of attempted robbery.

They were said to have inflicted cutlass wounds on their victim, Zachariah Abdullai in a desperate attempt to rob him. The victim was said to have lost the pinna of his ear in the attack.

Kamal Iddrisu escaped and was tried in abstention.

The prosecutor, an assistant state attorney Saeed Abdul Shakur said on January 19, 2014, the victim who is a forty year old employee of the Ghana Health Service was returning home from Kumasi when the two accused persons Fataw Abdul Rahman and Kamal Iddrisu pounced on him outside the Wa Kejetia and demanded that he released all personal effects to them.

The victim refused and a fight was said to have ensued.

Mr. Saeed said the marauding armed robbers inflicted cutlass wounds on his head and the right pinna of the ear and fled the area leaving the victim sprawling on the ground with his bag intact.

The victim was reported to have recognised one of his attackers, as Fataw Abdul Rahman, a distant relative. He then picked a taxi to the Wa regional hospital where doctors stitched the wounds and later reported the case to the Wa Police.

The police quickly moved in to arrest the suspect but the accomplice was still on the run.

The suspect who pleaded not guilty to the charges was however found guilty after trial.

Handing out the sentence, the presiding judge Justice Kwasi Boakye took into consideration, the intrinsic seriousness of the offence, the degree of revulsion felt by law abiding citizens of the society and the country as a whole.

He also catalogued litany of recent robbery cases that occurred in the region and at the Bole-Bomboi highway the past couple of weeks.

He added that the impunity with which these crimes are committed is quite incomprehensible and found the offences of the accused person too grave.

He said such a person should not have the protection of the country’s courts and handed maximum sentences to the two.

Prior to the sentence, the accused pleaded with the court to be lenient with him since he had a child and a father who was sick and bedridden.

The court sentenced each of the accused persons to five years imprisonment on count one and 15 years imprisonment in hard labour each on count two to run concurrently.

He however issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the second accused person which shall commence his sentence from the date of his arrest.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by My Natural Bristle Radial Brush is Fantastic Having very long, fine, straight and thick hair, I have always struggled to find a brush with a large enough diameter and the durability to blow dry my hair effectively enough. I finally decided, therefore, to invest in a GHD 55mm Natural Bristle Radial Brush and am very happy with my purchase. The handle is narrower than what I'm accustomed to, but once I got used to using it, it became and absolute pleasure. The look of the brush is also sleek and classy, which I love. March 27, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by disapointed in quality but performs well The brush came in a bigger box the. A smaller ghd box containing the brush, the smaller box was bashed and of an extremely low quality which hadn't been done during postage as the outside box had no marks. Then when opening the packaging the brush contained marks and cuts down it's handle, this was not the quality I expected from GHD. Although when using the brush it provides an extremely sleek and smooth finish to any long haired blow dry and is easy to hold and use which is brilliant. October 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Too heavy! This brush is too heavy and all metal which makes it hard to handle. I previously had GHD brush which was the same size and much lighter with a rubber handle, it was very good. October 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Great product Great brush - very smoothing. The brush is very heavy and I think I'd choose the size down from this one if I were ever to buy another. I've always used this size of brush, but I would definitely buy size down next time. February 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Good for Volume & Smoothing I purchased this brush to create volume in my mid length hair & it definitely works! I have never had a natural bristle brush before & I have to say I won't go back to using anything else now! They make your hair very smooth :) Just one negative which is the brush is pretty heavy...but worth it :) December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amazing brush This is the best brush I have owned with amazing results. My hair looks like I have been to the salon everyday. June 8, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amazing Brush This brush is amazing! It works wonders for long hair and gives great volume and style. May 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by copes with tangles natural bristle radial brush is easy on the hair & doesn't 'rip' through your locks. Easy to use & comfy to hold. recommend it! May 2, 2013

The Late Show with David Letterman
May 15, 2000

Dave: Our first guest is Agent Scully on the popular television program "The X-Files," which has its big season finale May 21st. Here's the lovely Gillian Anderson.

(cheers and applause)

Dave: Well, you look good. You look great. You just look terrific, by the way. Did you see yourself in the picture box there?

Gillian: No, don't... can you take it away?

Dave: How you doing?

Gillian: I'm good. Do you have new glasses?

Dave: I've had these for a while.

Gillian: You have?

Dave: You know, you look... You look healthy and alive and radiant to me.

Gillian: Really?

Dave: Really. (laughter) Not that there was anything wrong with how you looked previous, but you just... There's something different about the way you look. Like you're getting more blood to your body or something.

Gillian: Really?

Dave: Like your circulation has improved.

Gillian: Really? (laughs) Gosh, um, maybe that's because I stopped smoking.

Dave: See, I'll bet that's exactly what it is. (applause)

Gillian: Everybody... I know. It's terrible! It's terrible, it's a horrible thing!

Dave: Now, how long did you smoke? Did you start when you were in high school?

Gillian: I started... Actually, yeah, I think I took my first drag when I was eight years old.

Dave: Eight years old? Wow.

Gillian: Behind the train tracks.

Dave: Did your folks smoke?

Gillian: No. Or for a while they did, but then they quit. But then I think I started when I was 14.

Dave: Peer pressure.

Gillian: But no, I just liked it. I'm a good smoker.

Dave: It's fun, isn't it?

Gillian: I like smoking. Smoking's a good thing, I have to say. (laughter) Not... I mean, not for little kids. I mean, most of the time I've tried to hide it. (laughter) I mean, or even teenagers or some big kids, but for me, it was just fine.

Dave: Not everybody can handle it. You could handle it.

Gillian: I'm a good smoker. And you know what, what's happened since I've stopped?

Dave: Well, you look much healthier.

Gillian: Well, I may be healthy, but I've gotten really stupid.

Dave: No.

Gillian: I swear to God! It's like all those years that I was smoking and taking in all the information-- the history and the geography and the biology-- and now that the toxins are going out, it's like it's all going away! (motions with hands)

Dave: Really?

Gillian: It's like all the... Any signs of intelligence I had beneath my skin is gone.

Dave: It was stored in the residue of the nicotine and other chemicals in your brain receptors?

Gillian: I think that's absolutely right. (laughter)

Dave: And now it's washed out of your system.

Gillian: It sounds very good with those glasses. Can you say that again?

Dave: Oh, thank you. No, I couldn't remember what I was saying. So do you do anything, do you drink?

Gillian: I don't drink. Do you drink?

Dave: No, I don't.

Gillian: Do you have vices? Well, I know you had that big thing with your heart and everything...

Dave: I had a massive heart attack three months ago, ladies and gentlemen, and I'm back!

Gillian: Did you have to give up anything?

Dave: Well, you know, during the surgery, they don't want you drinking coffee.

Gillian: Right. (laughter)

Dave: But that was it. And then I quit cigars.

Gillian: You quit, like, completely quit?

Dave: Yeah, but I've always, you know, I quit and then I smoke, and then I quit. But now I'm off the cigars for good.

Gillian: You still smoke coffee? I mean... (laughter) See? I've got smoking on the brain!

Dave: I've smoked a little coffee, sure. Smoked a little tea.

Gillian: Do you drink a lot of coffee?

Dave: No, I used to drink a lot... You know, if it weren't for the caffeine, I'd have virtually no personality whatsoever.

Gillian: I hear ya. I'm right there with ya!

Dave: So now i'm on the decaf, and I'm addicted to the decaf. You know, I drink so much decaf, I sleep for days. But I tell ya... They say the cigarettes, we've now proven, those cigarette people were putting horrible toxic chemicals in the cigarettes. Now, I don't think they were...

Gillian: To make you addicted to it.

Dave: To make you addicted to them, that's right. To make them harmful.

Gillian: You must've seen the movie "The Insider."

Dave: Well, yeah, I think a lot of that's probably true, but, you know, I don't really know what they're talking about, but what do I care? Because quitting cigarettes is uncommonly hard. They say it's one of the most difficult addictions to break ever.

Gillian: Ever.

Dave: Ever. And you know, you're looking at a guy who's tried everything.

Gillian: Worse than heroin.

Dave: Exactly.

Gillian: Exactly.

Dave: Um... cigars, on the other hand, you can quit easily.

Gillian: Well, you don't inhale them. Any time that I've tried a cigar, I can't not inhale... I'm a good inhaler, I like getting it in my lungs.

Dave: Right.

Gillian: And any time I smoke a cigar, I'd inhale, and then I'm flat on the ground! Which is a good thing, too.

Dave: That's kind of the point, yeah. It's too bad, because... It's just too bad that it's bad for you. It really is too bad that it's bad for you. But see, I think cigars... And then you get people arguing, "Well, you get all other kind of things smoking the cigars."

Gillian: Like what?

Dave: Well, you know, things that go in your mouth as opposed to in your lungs. You get, like, sores in your mouth, as opposed to...

Gillian: Do you have sores in your mouth?

Dave: I have no sores in my mouth! What have you heard? But see, you can't have this conversation, because you're not supposed to be smoking, period, at all, anyway.

Gillian: You look different. (laughter) I mean, different than the... Different, it's not just the glasses... See, I'm dumb! It's not just the glasses, but you look different.

Dave: Can you qualify that for me, because you just...

Gillian: Did your hair used to be curly before your surgery? (laughter) Didn't it? Didn't it used to have little curly stuff in it?

Dave: I had a bypass and my hair straightened.

Gillian: It looks that way. It did used to be kind of kinky, didn't it?

Dave: If it grows out, it gets a little wacky. I mean, not that it ain't wacky now, but it's a little shorter.

Gillian: Okay. All right.

Dave: But you... you look...

Gillian: You look very healthy. (laughter)

Dave: So anyway, are you doing anything else now that you've... How long have you been off the butts, by the way?

Gillian: The butts, two weeks.

Dave: Oh, forget it. Well, then you really haven't quit at all, have you?

Gillian: Oh, no! Yeah, I have. I have. I did a cleanse at the same time.

Dave: What's that?

Gillian: A cleanse is where you, for a period of days, you eat very well and no meat and no sugar and no wheat, no dairy. And just a lot of greens, and you try to flush everything out, and you do a liver flush.

Dave: I'm sorry? (laughter) What kind of equipment do you need for a liver flush?

Gillian: Have you ever had a colonic?

Dave: (groans)

Gillian: I have to ask you because I know that you're sensitive about, like, bodily movements and stuff that comes out.

Dave: No, I'm not sensitive about bodily movements.

Gillian: I heard that you were. You don't like talking about urine and stuff like that. Puss...

Dave: Oh, only a stick in the mud. Urine, puss, no, I don't... No, I've never had a colonic.

Gillian: You haven't?

Dave: No.

Gillian: It might be good for you.

Dave: Well, maybe it would be.

Gillian: Are you a happy person?

Dave: Oh, i'm extremely happy. Are you kidding me?

Gillian: Are you?

Dave: Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Gillian: Are you happier before your heart... Your big heart thing or after the big heart thing?

Dave: Oh, now, what do you think?

Gillian: Well, it depends on your perspective.

Dave: Well, the perspective... You've got a guy taps you on the shoulder and says, "Mr. Letterman, you see this little thing right here? If that moves a millimeter, you're dead."

Gillian: But it doesn't necessarily mean happiness. It's just your perception about things. So do you think that you've changed your perception about life since you had the surgery?

Dave: I'm happier because, I'll tell you... Boy, did you ask the wrong question. This'll be you back in the hotel: "Well, I didn't get much time. Letterman wouldn't stop talking! What happened?"

Gillian: I've got nothing to say. I'm dumb. I just quit smoking. Yeah.

Dave: So anyway, since people in my family dropped dead because of the big heart explosion...

Gillian: Really?

Dave: So I kind of, in the back of my mind, I was waiting to get that call.

Gillian: Right.

Dave: So now that the guy fixed it up and brand-new plumbing, I've got like eight feet of p.v.c. in there, honey.

Gillian: Really?

Dave: So now I feel like it was an incredible stroke of luck that I have this extension of my life, because, you know, it was a time bomb.

Gillian: So do you wake up with a smile on your face? And you're nice to people?

Dave: Oh, no, no.

Gillian: You're not nice to people?

Dave: Well, sure, I'm nice to people. For heaven's sakes.

Gillian: For heaven's sake.

Dave: The right kind of people.

Gillian: Okay, I gotcha.

Dave: You all right?

Gillian: Yeah, I'm fine. I'm healthy.

Dave: So how did this liver pump thing go?

Gillian: It wasn't a liver pump. It was a liver flush.

Dave: Oh, liver flush.

Gillian: A liver flush. It's a shake that you drink.

Dave: Liver shake is a...

Gillian: Uh-huh.

Dave: Liver flush is a shake.

Gillian: It's a shake that you make, and it's got specific ingredients in it that help to suck all the toxins out of your liver.

Dave: But does that actually work?

Gillian: It's hard to tell, Dave. (laughter) How would one know?

Dave: Well, I guess we could... Like a liver scan, would that tell us?

Gillian: You could probably do... You could probably do, like, a sonar thing, like an ultrasound on your liver and... Yup. (laughter)

Dave: Well, you know, I got the stuff up in the office.

Gillian: I bet you do. I bet you've got the stuff right inside you, right there.

Dave: I've got everything. Well, I hope you have a lot of success with that quitting the smoking thing.

Gillian: Well, thank you very much.

Dave: You know, it's going to be hard getting through the 4th of July.

Dave: Well, the picnic, you know, the beers, the fireworks. You know, you're outdoors... Tell me about the show. Is this the big season finale, the cliffhanger?

Gillian: You know, honestly, I wish I knew. I know, I do.

Dave: How do you not know?

Gillian: Well, we called Chris Carter beforehand because they're working out their deals and spiels and stuff.

Dave: Is the show going to be on next year?

Gillian: We don't know. He said that he was an eyelash closer to making his deal.

Dave: What does that mean?

Gillian: That's a very good question.

Dave: You want to come back. Do you want to come back?

Gillian: Yeah, under the right circumstances, I think we'd all like to make it work.

Dave: So are you trying to hold these people up?

Gillian: Am I trying to hold them up?

Dave: Yeah, I mean, you know, generally, the cast.

Gillian: What are you talking about? Am I trying to hold the cast up?

Dave: Are you... No, no, no. I'll tell you what i'm thinking of. You know, the cast of "Friends," they pitched a little whine and hissy fit, and they got themselves...

Gillian: How much do you make a year?

Dave: I'm comfortable. (laughter)

Gillian: It was an innocent question.

Dave: But I'm telling you, it's not that prime-time money you're looking at. It's not that prime-time money.

Gillian: Ooooh, I don't know about that... (laughter)

Dave: I have no idea what we're talking about now.

Gillian: No, I don't either.

Dave: All right, so what's the cliffhanger in this show? You don't know?

Gillian: Well, we shot it. We shot two versions. It's just a little addition at the end of something that I say that changes things drastically.

Dave: Oh, so it could go one way or the other.

Gillian: One way or the other. Like, we'll either do the show or we won't do the show.

Dave: I'd like to see you back on the smokes. (laughter)

Gillian: Thank you. I'll blame it on you.

Dave: No, no.

Gillian: I will.

Dave: Hey, listen to this. Any time you have the urge for a cigarette, call me. I'll talk you through it. All right?

Gillian: All right. Can I just mention one thing that...

Dave: A shout out?

Gillian: Yeah. Please, can I? I just want to mention, very important, that there's a disease that I do a lot of support for and volunteer work for called Neurofibromatosis, and through the month of May, we are holding an auction on the Gillian Anderson Web Site (laughs) which is And it's a whole bunch of paraphernalia and memorabilia and X-Files stuff that's signed by a lot of people and worth a lot of money, and to be worth a lot more money in the future, and a great cause to support. So if you're interested in... (pauses and stares blankly) (laughter)

Dave: Well, don't oversell it.

Gillian: I know. I just go blank!

Dave: That's all right.

Gillian: My mind just stops. I swear I stop mid-sentence...

Dave: You know what it is? It's a withdrawal. It's a shock to the system. All of this stuff is leaving you that had been there and coexisted with you.

Gillian: I know. I've been saying some really stupid... I mean, you've heard it enough tonight. But other than that, like, really stupid things to people. I mean, just flying out of my mouth!

Dave: It'll be fine. It'll be fine. You're going through a bit of a withdrawal and a bit of a shock to the system.

Gillian: Okay. Are we done? (laughter) Is that what this is about?

Dave: We were done about ten minutes ago, actually. Oh, boy. How's your daughter? Is she good?

Gillian: She's great.

Dave: For no other reason, for your little daughter, to give up cigarettes, that's all the motivation you need.

Gillian: Absolutely. I took her to your favorite place.

Dave: Disneyworld.

Gillian: Disneyland.

Dave: Disneyland, sure. How'd that go?

Gillian: We're done, we're finished, it was great, thank you, bye!!

Dave: You know, it was almost like having you here! We'll be right back with tonight's top ten list.

Does your flirting drive boys away?

None of my boyfriends ever take me seriously or trust me because I’m a “big flirt.” What should I do? Dear Flirt, Should you tone down the flirting...

This guy showed up in the middle of the year and when i looked in his eyes i gasped and quickly turned around iv never felt this way before.so after about a month i finally said a simple hi on our way from P.E. then later that day he gave me his number! but a week from Christmas he pretended his name was Jake and said don't text this number ever again. so i didn't. but then he randomly starts ignoring me. someone said he thinks I'm creepy.
What should I do? Jess D. Jess D.

Hey boogaangel13, I wouldn't talk to this guy anymore girl. He's acting rude and weird. You can do much much much better. Hope this helps! Xoxo Smile

Ya know what? Sometimes girls flirt and don't even know it!!! It's just their way of life. Just ask your bf to let you know if you're acting flirty!!!

by Taekwondolover on 2/2/2013 6:25:38 PM

so i got a role in my school play as leisel for the sound of music and at the end of the scene, leisel has to kiss rolph. well i'm a freshman and "rolph" is a senior and im so scared because i havent kissed anyone before. "rolph" is super nice but i just dont want to be a bad kisser and im nervous bc my first kiss is gonna be in front of so many people. any tips to keep calm? thanks so much <3

hey girl! since it's in a play, it will probably only be a peck. try not to worry! plus, there will probably be rehearsals so that your first kiss with "rolph" isn't in front of a crowd. you'll be fine! check out our kissing tips articles.

Me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 2 years now

Hey Girl, I would strongly urge you to wait. This is a HUGE step, that will change the relationship a lot. Not to mention that you would be risking a lot. And honestly, you are very very young. You are worrying about the fact that you can't drive, and your parents being around, when that isn't what this should be about. Please, please, please rethink this.

I like this guy at my school and he used to like me. Now he likes some other girl because she's white and blonde. (Which is really dumb. You should like someone because you enjoy them) and I kinda still like him. But I don't want myself to like him He cheated on me and ditched our date three times! But still, part of me still like him. And I don't like it! Please help me.

Hey girl, based on your past experience with this guy, it sounds wise to try to not like him.  Cheating and ditching are not cool.  Decide to move on and there might just be another cutie around the corner.  In the meantime, check out this fun single girls playlist

So for the most part im a pretty quiet girl. I don't mind it too much, but i want to start talking to people more, eccspecially guys.some of my friends are kinda teasing me about this and it's begun to get on my nerves. What are some ways to 1)start branching out and talking more and 2) start talking to new people? Thanks!

Hey girlie, you just have to be brave and confident and do it! If you want to do it badly enough, you'll make it work. You have to fake it until you make it so even if you're not feeling so confident about starting a conversation with a new person, if you act like you are you'll get more comfortable with it over time and no one will know you're shy.

So I told my crush that I liked him in October, and he acted a bit like a jerk. He was like "Yeah, I kinda thought so". It was really awkward. I said "Well sorry if this is awkward. See you next week" and I walked away. After the embarrassment, I get a Facebook message from him saying that he's sorry. He asked if he could text me, and he gave me his number. The next day, he had his bff reject me for him. I was heartbroken. Now, I see him tomorrow at karate. I just started this fighting competition thing, and whenever I see my ex-crush, I get nervous and my kick becomes weaker. My ex-crush is a higher belt that I am, so I'm kind of intimidated by him. How can I stop the nervousness? I want to show him that I'm not just a girly girl and that he should watch out! I'm normally a really strong kicker, but when it comes to him, I stop being confident. Thanks Smile

Hey girlie, do whatever you have to do to block him out. Focus on yourself and your kicking and pretend he isn't there. You need to try to forget about him. You can't let him continue to have a negative impact on your life.

So I asked this guy to a dance with some candy to go as friends. But he was very polite and said he couldn't because he said he had something going on. He is a really nice guy. But now i wonder should I ask someone else because I told him to keep the candy anyway but would it be weird to ask someone else and not have anything to give that person because what if he doesn't say yes ( the other guy)?

Hey girlie, go ahead and ask someone else as long as this guy is a definite no. You don't need to give a guy something to ask him to a dance. Just ask!

Lauren T.

by Icecreamluver on 1/23/2013 8:47:26 PM

thanks Lauren T. do you think it could be because their growing?

Hey girlie, it's possible, but it sounds more likely that something is irritating them. But just because the pain probably isn't associated with it, it doesn't mean that they're not growing.

Samaras inspires Celtic romp

Published Add your comment

Georgios Samaras helped himself to a hat-trick as Celtic thumped Inverness 6-0 in their Co-operative Insurance Cup third-round tie at Parkhead.

The Greece striker showed why manager Neil Lennon is looking to offer him a new contract with an impressive night's work albeit against a poor Caley side. He notched either side of Gary Hooper's first competitive goal for the Hoops since signing from Scunthorpe in the summer to ensure the tie was all over by the interval.

Samaras made sure of the match ball in the 57th minute when he showed commendable fighting spirit in the box before driving past Jonny Tuffey.As the Highlanders crumbled further, Anthony Stokes scored from the spot in the 73rd minute, after he had been brought down by the Caley goalkeeper, before he drove in a wonderful 25-yard drive to complete the thrashing.

Aberdeen avoided another embarrassing cup exit after coming from behind to beat Raith Rovers 3-2.

Paul Hartley scored his fifth penalty of the season to give the hosts the lead but Jamie Mole equalised after 24 minutes before Gregory Tade added a second seven minutes before the break.

However, a second-half double from in-form striker Scott Vernon gave the Dons a hard-fought win to avenge their humiliating fifth round replay defeat to the Irn Bru First Division side in the Active Nations Cup in February.

Mixu Paatelainen heaped more misery on his former club Hibernian as Kilmarnock knocked them out the with the help of Jamie Hamill's double.

Two goals in three second-half minutes from Hamill and David Silva sent Paatelainen's Ayrshire side into the quarter-finals and nullified controversy over Willie Collum's decision to reverse a first-half penalty award for the hosts.

Jonathan Grounds gave Hibernian an early lead but Kilmarnock soon levelled when Hamill netted on the rebound and the right-back later converted a penalty to continue a miserable run for the visitors, who have now won just four times in 26 matches.

Dundee United needed extra-time to overcome determined Ross County 2-1 at Victoria Park.

Robinson to miss pre-season start

Published Add your comment

Millwall captain Paul Robinson will miss the start of pre-season after undergoing a knee operation.

The centre-half went under the knife to clear up a tendon problem, although he should be fit in plenty of time for the new season.

Full-back Scott Barron has undergone a similar procedure while two other players have also been on the surgeon's table.

Tony Craig has had an operation on his nose, which he originally broke against QPR in March, and fellow defender Alan Dunne has had hernia surgery.

Welton Gaddy Calls for a New National Discussion on Marriage

July 31, 2009

weltongaddyThe Rev. Dr. Welton Gaddy, president of Interfaith Alliance, set off a firestorm of commentary in the Newsweek-Washington Post, “On Religion” blog, after putting out a call for a new kind of national discussion on extending marriage protections to same-sex couples. The blog post introduces the newly released paper “Same Gender Marriage & Religious Freedom,” wherein Gaddy lays out perspectives on marriage and recommends direction for the future. His first suggestion: leave religion out of it.

Dialogues about religion will not forge national consensus on any sociopolitical issue or serve as a source of national unity. The population of our nation is too diverse and the religions in our nation are too different for that to happen. Individual religious traditions are divided from each other externally and, internally, adherents within each of these traditions are divided from each other.

Citing recent studies that show a range of opinions among clergy and members of evangelical and mainstream churches, Dr. Gaddy suggests that law and not religious views (SHOULD)_be the starting point for any discussion on the government’s regulation of marriage:

Law, not scripture, is the foundation of government regulations related to marriage in our nation. Presently, the United States government recognizes marriage on the basis of a properly authorized, government-issued marriage license.

This Interfaith Alliance paper by Dr Gaddy invites a national conversation on the marriage.  He cites Executive Director of Freedom to Marry, Evan Wolfson’s stance that marriage inequality results in second-class citizenship, but is clear that the country should protect the right of religious groups to define marriage for their own members:

All citizens should have equal access to civil marriage and to the benefits of marriage provided for citizens in this government. Couples who desire religious marriage can seek a house of worship in which to receive that blessing. But, as is the case now, no house of worship would be legally obligated to provide marriage for a couple whom it does not want to bless. All houses of worship should be free to advocate for, defend and perpetuate the view of marriage that is consistent with their religious traditions and convictions.

While wanting to sort out religion from government, Dr. Gaddy disagrees with  Jonathan Turley in his USAToday op-ed which recommends that all couples have state-sanctioned “civil unions” while religious groups do “marriages.” Gaddy writes, “Civil marriages and religious marriages have existed side by side for an untold number of years.  Both…have been respected and treated equally in our society.  I see no reason for that situation to change.”

In this effort to invite more conversation Gaddy is hoping for a civil and respectful dialogue. “The subject of marriage equality merits our best thoughts and influential actions as United States citizens, whether or not we are religious people or individuals who adhere to no religion.”

As part of our overall work with communities of faith, GLAAD will continue to stay in regular contact with the Interfaith Alliance to lift up progressive faith voices that promote LGBT equality.

Very interesting item. Can you see joint marks near the marie? If so, how many? If no joint marks are present, this was likely pressed in a shell mould that gets flipped 180 degrees (after the glass sets up) so that the "catching out boy" can get it placed on a wide paddle. Then, it's stuck up on a large diameter punty rod with a flat head (the diameter of the head would be the same size as the area that is now seen as ground and polished). Once it's stuck up, it's reheated, iridized with a spray of metallic salts, and then taken to a skilled finisher to be cupped (hence, the stretch glass look that happens when an item is iridized BEFORE it's finished to its final shape). Then, it's cracked off the punty rod and taken to the lehr. Once annealed, that bottom area can be ground and polished. Fenton made a lot of plates this way in the 1920s-30s. I hesitate to speculate as to a maker, but it could be someone like Pairpoint or Durand in the USA, although I suspect its origin will turn out to be European.

Thankyou JSMeasell for taking the time to give your very detailed and clear description, very much appreciated :D I've looked closely at this large bowl and to me, it appears to be made from one single block of glass as I can't see any indications of joint marks near the marie, so your option of pressing in a shell mould would fit :)) and thanks to everyone else for your help and advice too, It's taught me a lot :)

The bowl would be made from one piece (gob) of glass. The seams would be in the two-part mould and would cause lines on the glass. You only join handles, feet and decorative bits; you don't makes items in two halves and join them (at least not in pressed glass).
