DAVID LANGER

[ form.known as DAVE DuMONTE from TRESOR HQ / MARIA a.U. / OSTGUT BLN / MS Stubnitz HRO ll DLA Schalllplatten ll PSYCHO THRILL COLOGNE, BLN/CGN ]

DAVE LANGER aka DAVE DU MONTE got into his first contacts with electronic music during the mid of the 80's by synthie-pop bands like Depeche Mode or Front 242 and also Kraftwerk. At this time, Techno and House were still completely unknown words for him, but it finally changed all for him at the end of the 80's when Dave heard from the first Chicago and UK Acid House heroes like Adonis and Baby Ford. His interest in Techno and House devoloped more and more in 1991 due listening to diverse Berlin radio shows, club experiences like TRESOR and - since 1993 - E-WERK, that lead him to serious record collecting in the following.

Subsequently his DJ career started in 1994 in the German Eastside in Rostock, where he also begun his studies in construction industries. He got his first bookings in leading Clubs of Germany's North-East like MS STUBNITZ and MAU (HRO) together with the Berlin DJ-nomenclatura. This contacts brought him back to the Spree capitol, where one of the TRESOR HEADQUARTER DJs invited him to TRESOR'S "Headquarter / New Faces" event nights on regular Wednesdays. So he quickly developed a certain love for a style that was ranging between heavily grooving an minimal styles, also based on the deeper shades of Detroit's Techno blueprint and the hard and funky Chicago stuff as well. From 1998 on he became a regular player at the "Headquarter/ New Faces" nights at the Tresor basement. From 2001 till the end of the 1st Tresor phasis in early 2003 people could often hear him under his alias DAVE DuMONTE at the legendary OSTGUT CLUB parties and the HEILIGENDAMM Area. At that place a DJ and booker from Zürich (CH) took notice of Dave and invited him to the famous SPIDERGALAXY club in Zürich, where DJs used to play long running of 8 hours minimum. After the OSTGUT CLUB's closing there was intermittently a gap in the Berlin club-landscape. A group of OstGut adherents started to organize their own interim parties at secret off-locations in the Berlin Underground, and for most of these parties Dave Du Monte was spinning at their wheelz of steel. But for professional reasons, however, Dave finally ended up in the German West where he established himself professionally till today. He became a citizen of Cologne and a resident jock as well at the town’s famous PSYCHO THRILL Techno venue to the present day. Beside this he's also running a small collectors Vinyl imprint called "DLA Schallplatten" which is still distributed by KOMPAKT.

Best DIY Home Plumbing Projects With Tips In 2019

Home Plumbing Projects With Tricks In 2019

Caulk a Tub

What You'll Need: A tube of caulk, plastic razor, mineral spirits, fine-threaded rag, painter's tape, Magic Eraser or comparable cleaning pad, scissors What It'll Cost: $5 to more than $30, based on the size of the project and which supplies you need to Purchase new What You Could SaveUpwards of $100, depending on the job's size How Long It Take: 60 to 90 minutes The way to Do It: This job is easier than replacing a drain flange. It the toilet repair job I tackled, long until I had an ounce of. I guarantee you can do it all you'll need is some patience and a steady hand. Here's how to do it, adapted from This Old House: Buy silicone or acrylic latex caulk. The former is more difficult to use, but lasts longer; the latter is much a lot easier to use, but shorter-lived. Use a plastic razor (not a regular razor blade) to cut off the old caulk. Eliminate lingering balls using a sterile pad or Magic Eraser, then complete the job with a fine rag soaked in mineral oil. Follow the instructions on your tube to get ready for application. You need the suggestion to cut in a 45-degree angle. Lay down the tape on either side of the joint of painter . Use a damp rag to smooth the newly caulk in a single fluid movement. Wipe away excess caulk as you proceed, taking good care to leave behind a uniform program. Carefully remove the tape of the painter without bothering the caulk. Repeat the procedure. Wait for the caulk to heal before using the tub -- ideally, 24 hours.

Change a Shower Head

Everything You want: A shower head, a wrench or pair of pliers, Teflon mineral spirits or tape, rust/lime remover What It'll Cost: $5 to $7 for a Simple chrome shower head; up of $40 for a high-end version (per Walmart) Everything You Could Save$45 to well over $100 (per Angie's List) How Long It'll Take: 15 How to Do It: Shower heads can be handheld adjusted, or both. However attention to detail is essential in all 3 cases, none is very difficult or time-consuming to put in. For replacing a shower head, the procedure would be: Loosen the head with an adjustable wrench or pliers that are slip-joint and then discard. Use a solution, such as CLR, to remove calcification rust, and debris . Dry the arm round the threads. Apply Teflon tape to the threads and press down to form a close bind. Hand-screw the shower head that is into the threads. Finish tightening with an adjustable wrench or pliers. Turn on the water and look for leaks. Tighten reapply or further Teflon tape if leaks are present. To put in a hybrid shower head with handheld and fixed components, you'll have to screw into an extra piece -- the diverter that regulates water flow between the two heads. The process is a little more time-consuming, and you'll need to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions to ensure you're linking the diverter properly, but it's not an order of magnitude more complex.

Replace Faucet Fixtures

What You'll Need: Your faucet assembly, plumber's putty or silicone, a basin wrench (optional), mineral spirits, hex wrench (probably contained from the faucet assembly) What's 'll Cost: $30 to $40 for an easy chrome faucet; up of $400 to get a high-end model (per Home Depot) What You Can Save$60 to more than $500 (a HomeAdvisor) How Long It'll Require: 60 to 90 minutes The way to Do It: Replacing a faucet isn't as tough as it sounds. This explainer assumes you're not replacing the sink the true faucet meeting. It adapted from the how-to of this Lowe : Close to the hot and cold valves under the sink. Turn off the key valve of your home if the sink has no valves. Open any remaining water in the lines to drain. Unscrew the water lines or using a socket wrench. Disconnect the elevator pole (the bit that opens and closes the drain). Remove the nuts. Manually unscrew the plastic slide nut onto the P-trap (the bend in the drain ) and disconnect the drain flange. Sink holes and use mineral spirits or rust remover to wash around the drain. If not already done, put in a gasket at the base of this faucet that is new. Insert the new faucet. Tighten the mounting nuts. If not already done, set up the faucet handles and twist using a hex wrench (usually provided). Screw from the drain nut and fit tightly with the bottom gasket (push or screw in). Apply plumber's putty into the drain flange and twist within the drain . Ensure the pivot hole of that the flange faces backward. Tighten the nuts and gasket. Install and test the drain rod assembly. Reconnect the distribution lines and operate the faucet. Check the meeting for retighten and leaks or reinstall as vital. Your faucet should come with installation instructions. (How detailed they'll be is another matter.) Where these instructions conflict with those provided by the manufacturer, refer to the latter. Caution: Faucets come in all shapes and dimensions. When possible, have your faucet meeting handy once you look for your new faucet. Buying the replacement will save you aggravation and time.

Install an Automatic Dishwasher

Everything You'll Need: Your new dishwasher, a Philips head screwdriver, an adjustable wrench or pliers, electrical tape, appropriately sized screws, nuts, and the dishwasher 90 assembly (see your dishwasher's instructions for specific needs ) What It Price: $200 for a simple dishwasher to over $1,000 to get a high-end model What You Could Save: $100 depending on the sophistication of the Work and what your plumber charges Long It Require: 90 to 120 minutes The way to Do It: Installing a dishwasher is simple. There are that excursion prospective DIYers up: the weight and the prospect of working with electrical wiring of the dishwasher . In case you're match, here's what you need to perform (adapted from DIY Network's tutorial): Turn your homethe electricity of off in the breaker. Turn off the water at the sink, even if at all possible. If not, turn the water off in the line. Take the dishwasher and inspect against the schematic that is included sheet. Confirm that everything is in the ideal place and everything that the manufacturer says is included in the kit actually is. Uncap the dishwasher of your home drain line and hook up to your brand new dishwasher's drain socket. Crimp the metal clamp (included) around the drain line and thread through the pit to your own sink compartment. Position the dishwasher in its home compartment. Adjust its leg height with an adjustable wrench if necessary. Fasten the dishwasher into the countertop using appropriately sized screws (probably provided in the kit). Attach the dishwasher's wiring to the local electricity inlet (like colors together). Screw on the cable nuts and cover with tape. Position the ground cable. Consult with the instructions to ensure you of the manufacturer 've done this. Connect the dishwasher's supply line to the dishwasher 90 (a special fresh water connection that you'll need to purchase separately) and tighten. Attach the drain line. Turn on power and the water. Test a load and then repeat those steps as necessary. Caution: This job requires some mild work. If the idea of manipulating wiring makes you uneasy, in spite of the power of your house off, save this one for the professionals.

Fix a Running Toilet

What You'll Need: Pliers, adjustable wrench, cable cutters, fresh flapper (optional), new float (optional), new fill valve (optional), vinegar or mineral spirits, toothbrush What It'll Cost: Up to $25, depending on the equipment and supplies needed What You Can Save: Upwards of $100, based on the nature of the job Long It'll Take: 10 How to Do It: Should you lucky, fixing your running bathroom will cost nothing and require just a couple of minutes of your time. You may have an hours-long procedure of trial and error punctuated by trips to the hardware shop if you 're not lucky. Herethe way to tackle three common issues that can cause your bathroom to run, adapted from WikiHow: Flapper Issues: Faulty flappers are accountable for many, if not most, running bathrooms. First, turn off the water to the toilet (locally if possible) and flush. Remove the lid and inspect the valve. If it warped or deteriorated, it done for; go to the shop, purchase a new one, and install it according to the manufacturer's instructions. When it is not forming a tight seal since the chain attaching it to the flush lever is too short or long, adjust the string so (using wire cutters to shorten the string if needed ). Remove the flapper if mineral buildup appears to be the culprit and submerge it for longer or half an hour in vinegar or mineral spirits to dissolve the residue. Scrub clean with a toothbrush and then replace. Float Problems: The most probable cause is that a float that is faulty. Floats come in 2 flavors: cup and ball floats floats. In any case, an float might result. Examine the overflow tube of the bathroom -- whether it's taking on water, your water level is high. Use pliers to turn the controller screw counterclockwise of your float until the water level stabilizes at least an inch below the flow tube. Monitor the water levels and adjust. Fill Valve Problems: This is costly and definitely the most vexing of the three issues. Close off the toilet's water, flush, and then disconnect the service line (you'll want pliers or an adjustable wrench). Completely dry the inside of the tank using rag or a sponge. Remove along with your wrench, bring it to the hardware shop, and buy the right replacement. Follow the instructions to set up the replacement of the maker . Flush to check.

KLR Alternator Mod

By: AdvWisdom Title: KLR Alternator Mod Sourced From: advwisdom.com/a/klr-alternator-mod/ Published Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 02:58:24 +0000

Enclosed are step by step detailed instructions for installation, lessons Learned, and review of the new whiz-bang 400 watt Electrosport stator and regulator . Since I’m way there, I’ll be swapping out my Doo Hicky and cleaning my oil screen also. See the ~90 pictural walk-thru toutorial of the Doo Hicky swap here: http://klrworld.com/forums/index.php?topic=950.0 and the oil screen cleaning Step-by-step here: http://klrworld.com/forums/index.php?topic=915.0 My bike is a 2007 KLR650 with 1,600 miles

Start with a little research…You�ll have to excuse the crudity of my KLR-650 library. I really need to organize the topics better…hehehe

First Drain the oil, I use the center stand for this task

Low profile magnetic drain plug, new crush washer with every oil change.

Now jack-up the bike, Jack is a Sears Craftman brand with a few added brackets

remove side covers, notice re-located helmet lock with cable. Easy access and attach full face helmet.

remove seat. All my KLR fasteners have been upgraded to stainless �cap� style fasteners (Allen Key) See: http://klrworld.com/forums/index.php?topic=878.0

Remove tank bolts

Gas off, remove gas line

rag to catch gas drippings

side covers pry from tank

All the Items removed

set up bike for task….Lots of light

Shop space/tables open…tools available

the doo kit from Eagle Mike…Will need that outer gasket for the stator

Area to open up!

Shifter lever off. Small mart to re-align teeth when re-installing

Take bolt all the way out…rachet wrench works best…wiggle lever off…

set aside with bolt in place as to not lose

one peg bolt off…loosen other…swivel aside as to clear outer case

Like this

sprocket cover next….3x fasteners

set aside

neutral wire….grab with fingers…wiggle straight back..no problem

wire off ….connector exposed

remove kick stand switch cover for better access to wire bundles to thread

loosen outer cover…..NOT inner cover…triple check which bolt is attached to outer cover

loosen all about this much…your fasteners may not be cap heads

notice inner cover fastener still fully engaged

loosen wire bundle bracket

remove bracket…long bolt comes with it

crack the case…try to maintain integrity of gasket…If tears….you will need a new one. Mine tore.

remove all fasteners here shown is 2x helper tabs to assist in prying with fingers

keep all parts on table with labels

pull outer case straight back…some oil will drip…have rags handy

tie off stator…don�t let wires hold it�s weight! Have wires/string/bungee available prior to removal

Attach here

here is is

lay on small table to work

with lots of light

need to remove this bracket screw

and these 3x attach cap bolts

stupid screw phillips head thrashed

get out drill…place rags around work area….tip cover to side

drill slow..don�t let chips fly

use depth gage to predict when manufactured head will be drilled off

there we go! Head off….no damage to bracket

un-thread screw threads with fingers…easy

area where removed

the parts removed…need to find replacement

Metric coarse thread M6-1.0 see: http://klrworld.com/forums/index.php?topic=721.0 for KLR650 specific fastener data

find torque while at it…use this KLR fastener chart

go to your fastener bin and find a match…use stainless cap head style

The correct matching length 12 mm

remove rubber wire seals…pull/pry off case

like this

new 400 watt stator to install

follow wire path to radiator overflow location on bike. Thread new wires following OEM wires

like this

route thru here

zip tie as you go

disconnect OEM re-connect new

Take old out….Don�t sell on E-bay yet!

need some of this stuff

apply to the wire gaskets…Note the new stator has only 1x wire gasket while the OEM had 2x wire gaskets

place bracket back in place

torque to 61 in-lbs

tighten this new bolt

Check 3x stator torque values….Use 61 in-lbs for a 6mm bolt…

3x bolts torque

prep outer gasket…light coat both sides

ready to reinstall case

finger thread bolts…note: a .25 inch gap exists between case and frame. Cannot close with hand pressure….carefully tighten fasteners…cris-cross pattern 1x turn at a time. It will slowly close up the gap.

toruque to 25 inch-lbs cris cross pattern…repeat with 68 in-lbs.

All buttoned up re-attach wire bundle clip and push wires back into slot with small tool

Re-attach wire bracket with long bolt 68 in-lbs

cut zip ties Now for the regulator. Reach under rear fender to hold nuts. Un-thread bolts 2x. Un-clip wire socket and install new regulator…they included a long unnecessary wire to it�s socket

regulator extra wire location

just eeked it in….contacts the rubber bumpers

loktite the attach fasteners…the blue paste type

add oil, re-attach shifter, foot peg, neutral wire

all done Review and observations: 1. Bike started…. 2. No leaks…. 3. The headlights dim a lot at idle….light up when throttle is engaged. I don�t believe this was the case with OEM stator. 4. Have left side outer cover gasket handy. I needed one. 5. Have a M6-1.0 10 mm stainless cap screw available. 6. I would not say this is a �plug and play� install 7. Best to include a headlight “cutoff” switch. See step-by-step KLR650 headlight switch easy install here: http://klrworld.com/forums/index.php?topic=204.0 Still some concerns about the mod….Seems like a lot of work and cost for the risk associated with this new Item. I hope Electrosport stands behind there products!

This explainer assumes you're not replacing the sink, only the actual faucet assembly. It's adapted from the how-to of this Lowe : Close to the hot and cold valves. If the sink does not have any valves, switch off the main valve of your home . Open the cold and hot taps to drain any residual water in the lines. Unscrew the water lines manually or with a basin wrench. Disconnect the elevator pole (the piece that opens and closes the drain). Remove at the base of the faucet. Manually unscrew the plastic slide nut onto the P-trap (the bend in the drain ) and disconnect the drain flange. Sink holes and use mineral spirits or rust remover to wash the drain around. Put in a gasket at the bottom of the new faucet, if not already done. Insert the faucet into the sink holes. Tighten the nuts. If not already done, set up the faucet handles and tighten with a hex wrench (usually provided). Screw from the drain nut and fit tightly with the bottom gasket (push or twist in). Apply plumber's putty to the drain flange and screw on over the drain body. Make sure the flange hole faces backward. Further tighten the nuts and gasket. Install and test the drain rod assembly. Reconnect the distribution lines and operate the faucet. Check for leaks and retighten in the whole assembly or reinstall necessary. Your new faucet should include installation instructions.
