Written 29/11/11 to 5/12/11
Ok so I've lived about 5 or 10 minutes drive from Rainbow's End, New Zealand's largest theme park, for my entire life, but I'd never actually been there, until a couple of weeks ago...
The day of Friday ?? November began like any other day - searching for clothes to wear, deciding what to eat for breakfast...lol Finally my uncle managed to drag all four of us out the door, and into his car, with Mum giving last-minute instructions all the while. =)
When we arrived, we lined up to be ticked off the list of homeschool attenders, and recieve our wristband-our pass to get on the rides for the day. Homeschoolers had come from all over Auckland, and even a large group from Hamilton! 5 or so school buses also came with eager students.
|This is just a portion of the crowds; to the left were the school groups.
Eventually we were allowed inside the park, and wondered what ride we should do first? Uncle Pete decided the Motion Master would be the one, so we proceeded to line up, and finally, enter it. The current video was Journey to the Center of the Earth, and I think Uncle Pete enjoyed it, but Monique, Danielle, and I weren't so enthusiastic. lol The three of us spent a minimal amount of time looking at the screen...
Uncle Pete thought it would be good to do a more Danielle-suited ride next, so we proceeded to Cadbury Castle. She and Monique enjoyed the carousel, and I did the Dragon's Flight with Monique, but Danielle deemed it 'too scary.'
Next up was..um... the Bumper Boats, I think? The waiting in line actually took longer than the ride... Anyway I kinda enjoyed crashing into people...lol
Oh great, my brain's fuzzing out a bit here, but I think we did the Dodgems, had lunch, then did the Log Flume, before riding the Pirate Ship.
|ok random but anyway...lol
Then Monique and Danielle rode the Jumpin' Star (mini fearfall).
Uncle Pete and I did the Gold Rush, while Monique and Danielle waited at the entrance/exit.
We then proceeded to ride the aforementioned Pirate Ship three times in a row, on which I met some friends, so yeah we had fun raising our arms (you are instructed to raise your arms if you feel sick so they can stop the ride, but I seriously wonder how they know if someone's actually sick!), and screaming on the count of three....lol
Uncle Pete (half jokingly) asked if we wanted to ride the Roller Coaster. He looked slightly shocked when I said yes...I'm not really THAT much of a scaredy-cat am I?!? or maybe I am... *grin* I replied that I seriously couldn't go to Rainbow's End and NOT ride it..lol thats one ride I've read about/seen in books since I was little! So yeah I did that a couple of times, managing to sit next to Bernie the second time =)
I then decided I wanted to ride the Invader (I hadn't had the guts earlier in the day when Uncle Pete and Monique did it!). Lol I think it may have been something like what Uncle Pete said - it was getting late in the day and I was freaking out 'cause I hadn't done much! So yeah I did that with Uncle Pete. and yes it was AWESOME!!!! lol!
Uncle Pete and I did the Gold Rush again, this time with Monique:
Then the Dodgems again for Danielle, and (you're not gonna believe this one!) as I had decided I wanted to ride the Fear Fall, we ran to it, but unfortunately it had closed for the day. Finally, as it was kinda late, I rushed to ride the Invader again, this time sitting next to one of the Holmes girls. =)
Last of all, I raced over to see if the Roller Coaster was still open, but unfortunately the 'closed' sign was out...
And that was the end of our (first ever) trip to Rainbow's End! Tired and sunburnt, we headed home, where we watched Mr Bean's Holiday and Soul Surfer, two cool movies! =)
Until next time,
Bianca =)

I just wanted to take the time to thank my family and friends that brought us dinner and gave us gift cards when we got home from the hospital with Alice. It was so nice not to have to worry about dinner for a few days. Also thank so much to those of you that have sent things to Alice, I can't tell you how much we appreciate everything! Many of you have asked me if there was anything you could get Alice or if you could do anything to help. We are looking into a fundraiser in town to help with the ongoing medical bills for her multiple helmets and surgery/hospital bills. Thanks so much for your support and prayers and the many of you of you who reached out to us and offered to help us in any way.

Time to Trade Hunter?
Is it time for Torii Hunter to be traded? I don't know, but it's certainly getting to be a possibility. Hunter will be a free agent after this year, and will command at least $15 mil per season once he hits the open market, probably more like $17.
According to reports, the Twins haven't started talking to him about an extension, which makes me think they are going to wait until after the season. If Hunter goes into this off-season as a free agent, I don't see any way he signs with the Twins once he sees the kind of numbers other teams are offering him.
What sucks, is that the trading deadline is July 31. There is a second deadline in August, but Hunter would have to clear waivers to be eligible to be traded, and I don't see that happening - so it would have to be by July 31, three short weeks away.
The Twins are currently 8 games behind the Tigers for the central division title, and are 5.5 behind Seattle for the Wildcard. They are still in position to make a run at the playoffs, but it's not a lock by any means. I would hate to lose Hunter and get nothing in return.
The other issue is how effective will Hunter be and for how long. The best way I know of to look at this is using PECOTA from Baseball Prospectus. I'm not going to get into all the math here, but it basically looks at past performance, similar players historical performance, and uses mathematical formulas to project probable statistics for a player's career. It's basically the kind of think baseball math nerds like me live for.
Hunter is hitting .301 this year, PECOTA puts him at .272
Hunter has an OBP of .342 and SLG of .558, PECOTA has him at .336 and .468
Hunter is on-pace for 35 homeruns and 47 doubles, while PECOTA predicted him at 19 HR and 25 doubles.
He has a career OPS+ of just 104, but this year is at 136.
All this tells me is that Hunter is having an absolute career year, will get paid for this kind of performance, and then will come back to earth, meaning whoever pays him what is needed to sign him, will end up regretting it big-time. According to Baseballreference.com, his career is most similar right now to Preston Wilson. Would you give Preston Wilson $15 million for four years?
From watching Hunter, you can see that his defensive ability, although still well above average, has begun to drop off. And according to PECOTA, it'll just get worse. Not to mention that in that fourth year of the contract, when he's still making $15 million, his most likely statistics will be .270/.327/.447 - slightly above average (2.0 WARP).
I think it's time to trade Hunter while his value is at an all-time high. His performance is just going to go down, and it's time to cash in before it's too late (see: Moss, Randy and Garnett, Kevin).
ALSO: If you like baseball math, check out Fire Joe Morgan. Freakin' hilarious.

Employee communications is no doubt a hot button topic for you and if you rely on segmented services like email, web conferencing, or isolated web portals, you may find that it is creating more problems than solutions. Unfortunately, the previous piece meal strategy of pulling separate programs together causes employee communication capabilities to be anything but intuitive or collaborative for today's digital economy. There is a solution that allows for smooth implementation and brings amazing capabilities for collaboration and boosts productivity.
Perhaps you know about the cloud by now and have heard about how it brings you technology to scale your business and improve internal communications. The challenge is finding a truly flexible cloud solution to meet your needs, offering flexibility, a sound integration, and mobility all while avoiding interruption to employees work.
Part of a smooth transition is having a solution that's familiar for your employees, and at the same time keep your IT group happy with a high level of available integration.
Office 365 is the answer these to your communication problems thank to easy mobile integration and with the web. Let's take a look at how to streamline your employee communications with Microsoft Office 365.
Productivity While On the Go
As part of the Office 365 suite, Microsoft Outlook provides a comprehensive communication tool that includes features well beyond just a standard email tool, including a comprehensive calendar, access to documents, ease of scheduling, and updating meetings with colleagues or clients. In addition to use on Mac or PC desktops, all of these features can be used on any mobile or tablet device, making collaboration a breeze for today's on-the-go mobile workforce.
With the Groups function, Outlook provides flexibility to set up communication portals for specific teams or departments for quick communications to discuss and track communications for specific projects.
Extending the mobility capabilities, employees can utilize Outlook to collaborate in real-time, access and share all files from OneDrive cloud storage, or even initiate a video conference call with Skype for Business. The latter helps with urgent decision collaborations, or last-minute meetings, but there are a number of capabilities that Skype for Business offers that are worth exploring.
Connect & Collaborate From Anywhere
Skype for Business provides the ease of a face to face meeting with up to 250 people, bringing together a team quickly for meetings that can't wait, for clients to meet with their team for a more personal experience and resolves having to delay scheduling trying to get everyone to the same location. Using Outlook or the Outlook Web App, with one to two clicks HD video meetings can be scheduled the same way you'd normally schedule, and with the dial-in conferencing installed, the meeting request will automatically include the dial-in number and conference ID.
The Skype Outlook integration provides the synergy necessary to provide the employee communications for better productivity because it offers the convenience of one system that employees already feel comfortable using. With the video, audio and web conferencing that Skype for Business provides on any device--from PCs and Macs to smartphones and tablets, and even meeting room devices--it answers the call for simplified mobility. Not to mention that it makes it easy for video to be part of everyday business activities with the collaboration goes beyond the visual video aspect.
It's one thing to see those in the meeting and talk about actionable steps, but what about completing those changes for deliverables in real time while on the video call? With Outlook's Skype integration, employees can focus on what they're doing together with desktop and application sharing, real time co-authoring of documents, as well as full Powerpoint Presentations. Never hear that there was no way to get in the same room, or that it was delayed until a team member was back from a business trip because Skype for Business means the office meeting is right in everyone's hands.
Understanding that not all connections require a virtual video meeting, Skype for Business in Microsoft Office 365 offers a cloud PBX feature which can also be used as a phone system, as well as for instant messaging. This feature is perfect for small to medium sized businesses, branch offices or for remote employees that work out of a home office.
Just like the dial tone you'd have if you have a landline installed, everyone is connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN), users in your organization will have voicemail, can hold conference calls, hold and resume while on a call, and just like any landline, they can transfer calls to any Skype for Business contacts, which of course includes those contacts within the company. As if that isn't convenient enough, everyone can do all of this comfortably using their keyboard and mouse, or even their touchscreen laptop or Microsoft Surface.
Get Personalized Work Information Without Research
Delve is a program within Office 365 redefining research for your employees. It's a program that's intuitive and personalizes for each individual person's work life, as it provides information on the projects and the people with whom they are collaborating so the information and connections provided are relevant. With Delve, you move away from a general one-size-fits-all interface, providing employees with the information they need, when they need it.
No other tool on the market can bring intuitive research to your workers with the same accuracy rate. This immediately enhances productivity and saves valuable research time. It also gives faster links to leads so you speed up the sales funnel.
Real-Time Co-Authoring of Documents
As part of Microsoft's focus on real-time collaboration, Office Online offers real-time co-authoring for employees as if they were sitting directly in front of one another. This completely alleviates delays or confusion for document editing and collaboration due to travel or distance between employees.
When you have to travel individually for business, working collectively on an important project was once impossible. Even if mobile technology could once do some of this, it wasn't until recently when real-time editing on documents became available.
With Office Online, employees have access to Word Online, Powerpoint Online, and Excel Online, with all edits synced to the files in the OneDrive cloud storage for 24/7 accessibility. This means that as changes are made to the documents, co-workers can see the updates immediately and make their collaborative edits as well. With this syncing capability, it won't matter if you're working on a computer in the office, or an iPad out in the field.
If you're wondering about transforming your business using the cloud, learn more about how to successfully manage the change in your company by downloading our free Guide to Digital Transformation. If you have specific questions or want to have a deeper discussion about how Microsoft 365 for Business can help your employee communication and collaboration, we invite you to have a free, no obligation consultation call with one of our specialists.

6th Circuit Bankruptcy Panel rules that condo association may reschedule pre-petition foreclosure
On August 4, 2016, the Bankruptcy Panel of the Federal Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion holding that a condominium association could foreclose on a pre-petition lien for unpaid assessments that was not extinguished in the bankruptcy proceedings. In re: Byron G. Jackson, Case No. 15-8037 involved a situation where a co-owner filed a petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on June 19, 2014. The co-owner's unit was subject to a first mortgage held by Bank of America and a lien for unpaid condominium assessments at the time of the filing. Bank of America and the co-owner enter into a loan modification agreement. After the loan modification was entered into, the Carlton House Condominium Unit Owners Association of Cuyahoga County (the "Condominium Association") filed a motion seeking relief from the automatic stay to pursue in rem relief (i.e. foreclosure on the unit) due to multiple bankruptcy filings related to the unit. The trial court denied the motion for lack of cause. The co-owner received a Chapter 7 discharge on December 9, 2014 and the case was closed.
Almost immediately after the bankruptcy case was closed, the Condominium Association re-noticed the sheriff's sale, which was the final step in the foreclosure action that had commenced in 2008, and was based on the state court's order of foreclosure entered in 2009. On January 21, 2015, the co-owner moved to re-open the bankruptcy to avoid the Condominium Association's lien and argued that the Condominium Association was attempting to collect discharged debts. The trial court found that the Condominium Association had violated the discharge by continuing with the foreclosure action and was in fact attempting to collect a discharged debt through a "disguised" in personam collection.
The Bankruptcy Panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the discharge of personal obligations through a Chapter 7 discharge does not terminate a secured creditor's in rem rights unless the creditor's lien was avoided during bankruptcy. The appellate court held that the Condominium Association's lien continued after the discharge and that the Condominium Association was entitled to foreclosure on all sums secured by the initial lien, both prepetition and post-petition. However, the appellate court did hold that the Condominium Association would only be entitled to collect post-petition attorney's fees related to the foreclosure pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 523(a)(16), as the pre-petition attorney's fees had been discharged.
Accordingly, while many condominium associations give up on collecting assessments when a co-owner declares bankruptcy, condominium associations should be aware that a possibility still exists that the condominium association's lien can be foreclosed on, even after a co-owner obtains a bankruptcy discharge, if the lien is not avoided during the bankruptcy proceedings.

Seattle is one of the rainiest cities in North America, making umbrellas a practical corporate gift. A good quality umbrella branded with your company logo will be used over and over again, reminding the recipient of your company/brand with each use. Custom umbrellas are great for:
- Corporate gifts: A "thank you" for customers or employees.
- Office umbrellas: Branded umbrellas to keep at the office for employees' or guests' use on unexpectedly rainy Seattle days.
- Conference gifts: Conference guests may not think of packing an umbrella for their conference in Seattle.
- Outdoor events or tours: It's a wise idea to have umbrellas on-hand when you are hosting activities outdoors.
- Hotel guests: Guests to Seattle often aren't prepared for rain, so umbrellas are a necessary item to have on-hand in rooms for guest use during their stay.
Umbrellas are useful gifts for Seattle residents to receive, and practical items for guests of Seattle to use or receive, who might not be prepared for the weather!

Long-period fibre gratings (LPGs) have previously been used to detect quantities such as temperature, strain, and refractive index (RI). We report here, to the best of our knowledge, the first investigation on refractive index sensing properties of LPGs with sol–gel derived titanium and silicon oxide coatings. It is revealed that the RI sensitivity of an LPG is affected by both the thickness and the index value of the coating; a coating with higher index and thickness will enhance the LPG RI sensitivity significantly. The surrounding refractive index induced LPG resonance shift has been evaluated over the LPGs' most sensitive RI region from 1.42 to 1.44. We have identified that, in this region, the uncoated LPG has an RI sensitivity of (-673.0 ± 0.4) nm/uri (unit of refractive index) while the LPG coated with titanium oxide exhibits a sensitivity as high as (-1067.15 ± 0.04) nm/uri. The experimental results also reveal that, even in the RI insensitive region around 1.33, there still is a marked enhancement in RI sensitivity of the sol–gel coated LPG compared to the uncoated one. This is potentially significant as coated LPGs may be extended to low RI gas and semi-liquidized based sensing applications.

Star Spangled Girl
July is here and its that time of month again.... calendar picture day!!! I was able to locate the most fantastic and ridiculous get up ever for this month's installment.!!! Don't you agree! I just loved it and was able to find G a little red, white and blue wand to go along with it. Too fun!
I think the pix are overall pretty cute. They were able to get some good expressions and smiles but, the hair, not so good. Its pulled back in the headband because there's an uber cute matching feathery headband I wanted her to wear and I love to be able to see her pretty face, but every time I came near G with it in my hand she'd shake her head and say "no-Oh!" Oye.
Anyway, here she is. Even with the messy hair, still gorgeous!

For overseas investors, a reason to return to Dubai realty
Published: 13:18 September 16, 2015
By Gulf News
Dubai: For overseas investors, now may be as good a time as any to renew their interest in Dubai realty. After suffering declines for the better part of two years, yields that can be generated from freehold property assets here are showing signs of picking up.
In the 12 months to July, yields have shot up to an average 7.42 per cent on "mainstream" residential properties in the city, according to Knight Frank's estimates.
Matters have been helped by the sharp decline — by 12.2 percent — in home values during the period, as well as the relatively lower — by 1.2 percent — drop in rentals. (Gross yields are calculated by dividing annual rental income a property can generate by the property's value and then multiplying by 100. For net yields, factor in associated expenses such as any mortgage or property maintenance payments as well.)
Yields had taken a hit after the precipitous climb that Dubai's rental values have had in the last two years and more. And if there is anything that overseas investors dislike, it is uncertainty over which way values are headed.
So, are the healthier yields available now enough to bring back overseas investors to Dubai realty? Or will the ongoing global currency volatility force them to push the "pause" button?
"For an income-seeking investor … yields are already high compared to other relative safe havens (for e.g. London)," according to a Knight Frank analysis.
"With prices in Dubai now about 24 per cent below their 2008 peak, yields have risen — 7 per cent gross returns are realistic — meaning investment activity has been healthy despite recent capital value falls.'
But the currency situation will need careful watching. With the global economy passing through a strong-dollar default setting, the dirham's peg will make any purchase of UAE assets that much more dearer.
Oil prices
More so, for "three of the most important international buyer groups — Indians, Pakistanis and the British — to purchase property," the analysis notes.
"The sharp drop in oil prices has also hit regional demand. Add a surfeit of newbuild delivery into this mix, and the net impact has been a 12 per cent fall in mainstream property prices over the past year."
Investor-favoured locations of the past have suffered as a consequence. "Over the course of the last six months, there has been a noticeable drop in interest for our resale portfolio in [Dubai] Marina," said Adam Price, Global Sales Director at Select Property.
"But we have definitely seen an improvement over the last six weeks … We've also had a surge in interest in the Downtown area as buyers see its huge potential in terms of location and infrastructure as the Dubai Canal nears completion.
"With the Canal revolutionising the area into true waterfront living, Downtown is becoming one of Dubai's most sought after locations. We will not only see a surge in popularity in the rental market, but an increase in property values once the canal is completed."
Indeed, investors looking at the bigger picture can tap multiple factors, both in the short- and long-term.
"Economic activity and property demand is likely to benefit from the proposed lifting of sanctions on Iran, which will increase demand as the country's economic linkages with Dubai grow," the Knight Frank analysis reckons.
As for the longer term, "The port at Jebel Ali is expected to become the world's largest in the next 15 years, reflecting Dubai's emergence as China's logistical hub for the Middle East and Africa. Its airport already serves 70 million travellers a year with capacity set to rise to 200 million.
"Buyers are looking to lock into the potential for economic growth in both markets [Dubai and Abu Dhabi] — led by the headline forecast for a 20 per cent rise in the population of the UAE by 2030."
New projects
This is the very prognosis that local developers will want to hear. It gives them the rationale to commit to new projects now rather than wait for a definite upturn in demand to emerge at some point.
But they are well-advised not to take too long to mull over their plans — "Speculating long term improvement is not wise in a region where cold and hot spells occur frequently, and in no real pattern," said Sofia Underabi, Head of Residential Valuation at Cavendish Maxwell. "These are impacted by many factors such as political movements and instability in the region, the price of oil, the crisis in Europe, the Chinese economy or a simple change in domestic regulations — although these are often in favour of developers.
"Having said that, the majority of new developments were launched in 2014 and the cold spells occurred thereafter. Time value of money will have to be considered by cash-rich developers, who may not have the comfort to wait."
For investors and developers alike, getting their timing right in whatever they plan to do next assumes ever greater significance.

Weaverthorpe Parish Council has great concerns about the number of vehicles exceeding the speed limits in the village & is exploring ways of addressing the problem. This is also a concern in the other villages down the valley. One way residents can help is by submitting a Speed Concern Form to North Yorkshire County Council Highways Department. If you have particular concerns about speeding vehicles in your village this is the best way to log your concern. The form is now available for download in the Weaverthorpe Parish Council Section of the website.

If speed humps are selected to reduce speed make them one continuous hump across the road, not those as at Sherburn. They are kinder on tyre walls and more effective. I have noticed that the Sherburn ones make little difference to some drivers.

Mark Fell - Multistability (2010)
For fans of: Ryoji Ikeda, Thomas Brinkmann, Autechre
Here Mark Fell proves his mastery of creating intensely complex rhythms. It's just as sanitary and brain oriented as anything on raster-noton, but it has a strange accessibility to it at times. The sounds do not vary much, and are not particularly aesthetically pleasing, but work perfectly with the varying tempos. There are multiple layers of sound that slowly reveal a great beauty. The effect is like something that might be played in an alien nightclub, full of ecstatic built-ups and oddly funky beats. - Matthew Foster
"SND's Mark Fell makes a late entry for one of the electronic albums of the year with his latest solo opus: 'Multistability'. As one half of SND alongside Mat Steel and solo as 'H', Mark uncompromisingly operates on the bleeding edge of digital music production. He's in possession of a beautifully rare talent; the ability to make highly academic music with an innately Funky and dare we say, accessible, edge. He himself and many others may not agree, but there's something so listenable to his rhythmically-driven and melodically aware style that we can't help but hear him in that context. The conceit behind 'Multistability' is assuredly highbrow, referring to the notion of seeing two separate images at once, kinda like a Rubin face/vase effect. From the outset we're entangled in a meticulous mesh of ultimately chaotic, but incredibly well organised patterns and sonic topologies - essentially the result of experiments whose side-effects just happen to be the most extreme and stripped examples of digital funk imaginable. Believe it or not, Mark cites his collaborative efforts with friend and fellow musician Yasunao Tone as a major influence on these tracks, which is understandable when it comes to their constantly morphing aesthetic and deliberate intentions, but seriously, we couldn't ever imagine feeling as compelled to twitch like this when listening to a Tone CD. We'd be more inclined to compare his constructions with the fiercest UK Garage/Bassline or Footworkin' Juke, albeit filtered and reduced into the most minimal variant possible. Just imagine those hyper-concatenated rhythms zipped into more "conventional" dancefloor sounds - in a parallel universe Marcus Nasty is whipping up a hypestorm with blends of 'Multistability' and the latest Pantha dubplate. However, as the label correctly states, 'Multistability' should be understood in light of Fell's claim that "Music is a technology for constructing an experience of time", which really sums this album up more succinctly than we ever could, while leaving his whole oeuvre brilliantly unresolved and open to the wildest interpretations. We're not using this lightly - ESSENTIAL!" - Boomkat

Pearl 119: Promotion
April 28, 2013
TOPIC: Organization and Promotion
"Whoever can be trusted with very little can
also be trusted with much, and whoever is
dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much" - Luke 16:10.
Organization may seem like an insignificant, unimportant thing, but, if it is, that makes it all the more important to master. Today's verse indicates that your faithfulness over little things determines your ability to handle larger, weightier duties and responsibilities. God uses those smaller things to train and discipline you for more. Are you being faithful with the little with which you have been entrusted? Can you accept the reality that the little is your preparation for the more? What changes do you need to make to embrace this concept?
Lord, I have not been faithful with the little, at times thinking it not worthy of my attention while I wait for promotion or more responsibility. I see now I was wrong. I determine today, with Your help, to pay attention to my faithfulness to organize my world, seeing it as my schooling for greater things.

The further development of TV broadcasting, including the switch to the DVB-T2 standard, in the Czech Republic will be determined by political decisions.
According to E15, the Czech Telecom Office (CTU) has produced a strategy document in which it devotes separate chapters to radio and TV broadcasting.
In the latter case, it anticipates the government will make decisions based on the views of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, working in partnership with the CTU, Ministry of Culture and Council for Radio and TV Broadcasting (RRTV).
It also says that it assumes the process will involve public TV (Ceske Televize).

Kingdom Heirs: Media Love
David Bruce Murray, MusicScribe
Glory To God In The Highest is a solid collection with good production quality throughout and top-notch vocals.
Bob Crawford, Singing News, July 2013
If I were to begin a review of The Kingdom Heirs new CD Redeeming The Time by telling you that this group is a "quartet's quartet" you might not even need to read further. … Sure there are strong lead lines on ever song, and good singers on every vocal part. But it's the great blend and teamwork that causes this to be great quartet singing!
Lauren's Southern Gospel Views
The Kingdom Heirs have consistently put out strong projects but this one might be at the top! It really was impossible for me to try to pick out just a few favorites. All southern gospel fans will love it, but if you're a fan of traditional quartets definitely put this one at the top of your list!
Jon Leighton, Absolutely Gospel
I believe this album to be not only one of the strongest albums the Kingdom Heirs have ever released, I believe it may be one of the strongest projects of the year.

Thread: Burned up a piston
Burned up a piston
My last day on the lake got cut short. My '97 SLTX with 1050 started running real bad. Anyway, it looks like i burned up the mag piston. I'm guessing she was running lean? Would you all agree?
Also, I haven't had to do this repair before, but i'm guessing a new cylinder, cylinder head, piston and rings. Does that sound about right?
Any thoughts on best place to purchase these parts?
Also, besides addressing the lack of fuel issue (i believe i need bigger jets, as i recently o/h the carbs) is there anything else i should look at? The other cylinders, the crank?
Thank you!
My first impression is that debris in the cylinder has caused that damage. Maybe a ring broke, or one of the bearings has come apart. It's kind of hard to say without taking the cylinder off and inspecting the piston and crankshaft for further damage.
Looks like it went lean, burned the piston ring land off, ring broke, and got loose in the motor. No need for a new cylinder, just have that one bored and honed to the next over sized piston. Head will probably need to be replaced, just be sure you get one from a 96-97 1050 or a 96-97 700. The newer 1050/700 domes are lower compression. Also, you will need to inspect the crank to be sure the rod bearing is ok. You shouldn't need larger than stock jets. There is probably an air leak somewhere. What do the other pistons look like? Post pics
Thanks guys. I've been searching the forum for info but there isn't a whole lot on these red engines (a lot on the blue ones though).
Earlier in the summer i overhauled the carbs and replaced all the fuel lines because i felt she was running lean...poor piston wash. And when I finished with the carbs there was little to no difference (they were really clean when i tore into them). Anyway, my carbs do not have the adjustment screw for the upper end mixture, so I assumed i would have to install bigger jets.
Where can i find the procedure for checking for an air leak?
Also, is it okay to mix an oversized piston with two others that are standard?
When you said earlier, I redid the carbs because I felt they were running lean...Why would you think that? Just the look of the piston wash? Maybe the carbs where they connect have a air leak at the mag carb possibly? Was the Mag hot before you rebuilt the carbs or did you feel excessive heat from all 3 or just the one or didn't look really? . Just trying to do a little investigating into what actually happened. Did the ski have a lot of hours on it.......the rings wore out and broke possibly? maybe a jet got clogged in the mag carb and it started to go lean. Sounds like it happened pretty quickly,, Just cruising around and pow, falls apart for no reason..Were you a WOT when it failed? That would definely cause a lean condition with debris caught in the jet while cruising fast. Mere seconds probably. Are the filters clean? What about the fuel separator? any junk floating in there or is a screen broke in that? That doesnt look lean really, It has black burn bubbles on it. Lean is smooth and black looking. Anyone know what the black bubbles mean?
Probably is lean all black like that ...Hard to tell from the pics if the bubbles are parts of the piston breaking up or if it's bubbles like from bad gas or oil ...On my pistons that are lean, there are no bubbles like that on mine.. take a look at these. far right has parts in it, middle has has almost a hole in it and one the left is lean. See what I mean? Yours looks bubbled but lean.. Not sure what caused that.
looks like the exhaust side got real hot on yours.
Its lean, no doubt. It was debris that marked the piston all up. Not all lean pistons will look exactly the same. Depends on if it was a part throttle burn down, full throttle burn down, if serious detonation played a role, oil type, etc.
To the original poster: Yes it's ok to mix different sized pistons, that will be fine. As for where a possible leak is...either the intake manifold to reed cage gaskets, carb to intake gasket, or the cylinder base gasket. Could be the front crank seal, but doubtful. Also need to be sure that the carbs are in 100% good condition...seals, jets, fuel pumps, filters, lines, etc. Again, post pics of the CEN and PTO pistons.
I'm out of town for a couple of days, but when i return i'll pull the heads off the other 2 cyls and post pics.
I'm not sure what you are refering to as "black bubbles", but the piston and head do have many pock marks from, i'm assuming as someone mentioned; a broken piston ring bouncing around.
This ski has about 130 hours on it. I've owned it for the last year (about 30 hours) and it's always had a problem at 3/4 throttle. If you run 3/4 throttle for five or six minutes the rpms would start to fall off. You could either apply full throttle and fix it, or back to idle, and then bring the throttle back in and it would be good to go. Later, someone here suggested adding a little choke when this happens, and that did seem to help. So, between that and the lack of descent piston wash i concluded that she was running lean. I o/h the carbs and replaced all fuel lines but it didn't make much difference.
On the day of the failure i did notice another problem that i hadn't expeirienced before. I was running her hard, ~6500 rpm (nearly WOT), and after about two or three minutes of this she just died. I could restart her an she'd run good again, until i ran her hard, and then the same thing.
Sorry for the long post, but i do appreciate everyone's input. Thanks!

85 190e 2.3 coolant replacement diy
uh I know this will probably be useful to no one- probably me in two years when I go to do it again
) but here's what I did this weekend:
with the engine cool after overnight sit, pop hood undo expansion tank cap. place large tupperware container you will never use again under right passanger side wheel. reach up under and look for small- mine was red- colored screw on right bottom side of radiator. unscrew and place container under to catch (in my case nasty green stuff from PO). when that has drained completely tighten screw back up and move collection inside and under right wheel. Before draining engine I took 10mm hex to thermostat housing and swapped out PO's for new lower temp (79 degree) thermostat. figured it was cheap insurance. three 10mm bolts hold thermostat houing on. thermostat was somewhat stuck in there, this for me was the only time when I had to muscle something. I pulled straight up using a screw driver (knowing I was going to 86 the old part). Replace thermostat cover located near disributor cap. find 19mm hex and reach way up under exhaust manifold. feel around up there for a bolt sticking out, hard to see without car up on stands but can be done by touch. Loosen this and drain engine. replace drain plug with 19mm... I work in a lab and have access to distilled water don't know what else to use if its not available, hose water I guess. I filled the expansion tank up with distilled water and had the boss start the car with the heat on. as the level of the expansion tank dropped as "coolant" entered the engine I dumped more into the expansion tank, after a minute or two this became unnecessary. place cap back on expansion tank and run engine around block a couple of times with heat on max. let car sit overnight. I redid this twice as the stuff coming out was stilll somewhat funky and then on the third time refilled with 50/50 coolant to distilled water.
total time may 2 hrs if you drag your bottom
local pep boys disposed of old coolant
tools needed: 10mm and 19mm replacement thermostat coolant distilled water.

"Pimpin' Your Son" Euro Edition: Father Says Enes Kanter Will Stay At Kentucky If Suspension Sticks
We previously blogged here that Kentucky freshman center Enes Kanter was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for illegal benefits he received while playing professionally overseas. Per this report over at The Sporting News Kanter's father says he will guarantee that Enes not declare for the NBA draft and will return to play at Kentucky next season if he is eligible:
"Enes would do anything to play and help UK, his teammates and fans," Mehmet Kanter wrote. "In the last two years, one thing me and Enes never discussed was him being pro. He didn't mention to me about NBA or draft and I guarantee you as a father – if that's the NCAA's decision Enes will be a sophomore next year in UK."
Mehmet Kanter (the father) also goes on to say that his son was unaware of any monetary exchanges and all were conducted between the team and himself:
"I been saying from beginning of the review there has never been any monetary exchange between Enes and Fenerbahce," Mehmet Kanter said. "Enes was 16 years old, never had any knowledge about any accounts and everything has been between me and Fenerbahce."
Maybe this is a noble effort on the father's part to defend his son's chances of receiving a college education. Maybe it's a cover up to protect his son's credibility to future NBA suitors. Who knows. One thing I do know is that overseas it is 100% legal for a minor to play professional ball and also 100% legal for parent of said minor to profit off their kid's abilities. Why Cecil Newton didn't think of this is beyond me. He could have pimped Cam out to a Euro league and been scott free.
Mehmet Kanter even says he will repay the $30k that has kept young Enes off the court this season. Sure he will. And if he does, it only makes me wonder exactly how much the Kanters have stacked up from hoops. I'm going to take a guess that it's a lot more than $30k.
Either way, I hope Enes Kanter gets a chance to play at least one year of college ball and doesn't end up riding the pine or on a D-League roster next season. Oh, and that he also gets a bit of a college education, which it the important thing in all of this, right? Sure it is.

Dr. Kanter is a respected professor in Turkey. They are not hurting for money.
I'm aware Mehmet Kanter is a professor. My question is why didn't they offer to pay the money back before Enes was suspended, instead of paying it back so he can play next season.ReplyDelete
Nt only that, but being a respected professor does not guarantee financial success.

I normally don't listen to talk radio when I am in my vehicle, driving. I have found more peace listening to my Sirius/XM music in the past couple of years, which is mostly free from commercials (but don't kid yourself, they do promote themselves and other channels on the service). Even still, I do pop over to The Patriot on some occasions and the other day when I did, I heard Glenn beck ask the same question to his audience.
It's a simple question, but one that has a complex answer: "Who have we become?"
Don't think people do not ask this question, because I know many who do. The question is, are there enough people who care about it to make a difference?
We do not seem to be know these answers. Who we are, where we are, and where we are going is not being considered by too many. Too many people are just trying to maintain homeostasis. This being the case, it's too easy to put off the tough things. When you have to maintain a life, it does wear a person down.
We all have commitments that distract us. We all have Erickson's little developmental tasks to challenge and conquer. But..... we must start setting aside a moment or two in a day to think about some things that lie right outside the immediate moment, things that will be affected by what we do now. These are things affecting our course, our direction, and ultimately will make or break our future (and that of our children and grandchildren).
One only needs to look in on stories that have not been worthy of media outrage by the mainstream outlets, only worthy of a small corner somewhere (if that). These are outrages that ought to lead us to wonder just who we have become and whether this is where we should be..
Here's one story: USDA Buying Sub-machine Guns.
The Department commissioned to regulate American Farm Commerce is buying military weapons. Is there any good thing that could come of this? And you have to know that every Obamaton who cried for civil liberties when GWB was President, cannot be found for comment. In fact, I haven't heard anyone ask for comment.
Here's another:
Michelle Obama Encourages Family Members To Police Other Family Members.
First lady Michelle Obama is encouraging students to monitor their older relatives, friends and co-workers for any racially insensitive comments they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever they're made.
The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism.
It is not the objective of federal laws to stop racism. I am as against racism as anyone, I taught my kids not to judge based on color or ethnicity. they learned it, they practice it. But let's be realistic here, racism is not ever going to be stopped completely. It's just not going to happen in this present age and time, and we damned sure will not stop it by picking scabs on old wounds, so that they never heal.
The purpose of federal law is only to ensure that in the business world, no one is excluded from opportunities to buy or sell their goods, talents, or services, based on race, religion, culture, etc. No one should be denied housing, jobs, or the opportunities afforded to us all by the US Constitution. It's goal is not to stop racism and Mrs. Obama knows this.
Her goal in these statements is to create an environment where she can pit family members against one another, so she can divide at the family level. Pick a fight, make a scene to stop racism is only the means and the method she uses....she has nothing constructive. They have been doing it from Day One in the Obama Administration. Make sure you start a big fight at the Thanksgiving table this year if Uncle Ed doesn't want Obamacare to succeed.
This how she seeks to attain a big part of the larger objective.
That objective is not so hard to understand either. It is her and other people's desire to have a state they can control, where they can create a network of snitches. These are tattlers who are simply used by the statist elite, so they can ruin people if they are not with the program.
Today, it's racism. What will the subject be tomorrow?
Tell us where your father's/brother's/mother's/sister's guns are? Most farmers have a slew of them, all owned for different specific purposes and all capable of providing self-defense against unwanted visits. But they are not good for America. Tell your government officials so when the USDA comes to take your land away from you for some bogus reason, you will not stand a chance.
Is this who we want to be? Is this who we really are? Is this who we will someday be? Or is this who we have become? When will we know these answers? Or is it too late?
Who gets to decide the answers?
