I am due to have a bay in a few weeks and since I found out I have called her - Indie -. My partner doesnt really like it and says it reminds him of Indy500 car races but I think of like... individual.. independant.. and Indie culture... Not being like everyone else!

What do you think?

Do you ask if they need help?
Do you feel sorry for them?

It's been discovered that they used their Republican Party email accounts, instead of their Federal employee accounts, to circumvent the Presidential Records Act. Other potentially incriminating emails have simply been "deleted." The few of them who will testify before Congress blatantly lie and smirk in the faces of the investigating committee members. Yet when these same adminstration officials spy on us, they assure us that if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to fear. How can the truth they're hiding ever reach the American people?

I recently moved to Las Vegas from So Cal with my family. In LA they had free women's clinics that offered paps, bc, and other womens services completely free of charge. I haven't been able to find that in Vegas. I've checked online too with no luck. Does anybody know of any free or low cost birth control in Las Vegas?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Fuel injected gasoline engines cannot burn diesel fuel because of several reasons.

GASOLINE ENGINE
Computer injected, spark ignited, Low torque: total ignition at or before TDC

DIESEL ENGINE
Mechanical direct injection, Compression ignition, High torque: Prolonged diesel ignition during stroke

Solution to conversion

1)Injection system: Diesel injection pump, 2)Ignition system: Injection line heating to above autoignition, 3)High Torque: Modify injection pump to reduce injection duration at all speeds

Ok, so how can we do this?

Replace spark plugs with diesel injectors, and remove gasoline fuel injectors. Install pulley driven diesel fuel injection pump on the engine and connect fuel lines to the injectors.

So, the fuel will be delivered to each cylinder at TDC as the pump rotates.

How to ignite it?

Heat each injector line to above autoignition temperature with an electric cable heater wrapped around it. This allows cold, low compression air to ignite with fuel already at autoignition temperature. High compression air is not needed.

Now that you are setup how can you make the system create less torque so you don't destroy that gasoline engine block?

Gasoline engines cannot handle the torque levels of a diesel, they wear out very quickly. The source of diesel torque is not the fuel, but the prolonged injection of diesel throughout the power stroke.

Modify a diesel injection pump to a short injection pulse while at slow speed. This normally only happens when the pump is at high speed. If the fuel is injected very quickly rather than in an extended injection down the power stroke, torque will drop. All the while maintaining precise timing of injection and power of the engine.

You could just use a bigger injection pump pulley, but timing of injection will be off.



Now some possible feasibility conditions:

1) heated fuel results in coked(clogged) injector 2) Injector loses lubricity and wears out due to loss of viscosity due to fuel heating 3) Fuel line connection failure due to heat 4) Injection duration is not short enough at low throttle on injection pump which results in engine damaging torque

I got my nose pierced a month ago, and it is not healed yet. I'm wearing a nose screw which ends with a half circle, so I think it would be hard to take it out, and would cause scarring, infection or irritation. Even when it is completely healed, is it necessary to take it out to clean it, for hygiene purposes? I don't feel good about taking it out because it seems hard and could hurt my nose, and I don't really need to change my nose piercing for another one since I like the one I'm wearing.

We submitted an offer to the selling agent on a short sale property last week at full price. My question is... should the current owner sign the purchase contract
accepting our offer prior to submitting it to their lender? We have not yet received any word from the current owner regarding our offer and the selling agent said that she would be submitting it to the lender. I thought that the current owner of the property would still need to acknowledge and accept our offer prior to it being submitted to the lender for final approval. Thanks in advance for everyones help.
