Jeep Wrangler
I'm using the Bosch Plats in my Jeep and they helped a bunch in smoothing out the idle.
Yours will be different in that mine is distributorless, but the plug numbers are the same for the 4.0. Champion or Bosch is a matter of personal preference. I've always used the Bosch Platinums since they are generally good for 60k+ miles, but the plugs in the 4.0 are super easy to get to and changing them could be done in 15 min. You may read that "platinum plugs are bad for a Jeep". I have found absolutely ZERO credible evidence of this. To each their own.
jptj Posts: 53My stock Manifold is long gone. When the warranty expired I installed a Borla Header, Turbo City Rock-it Air Tube (with a K&N Filter) and exhaust system. This gave me a little more pep and a around 2 M.P.G. increase.0
jeephead Posts: 49As summer is right around the corner, I am thinking of getting a mirror remounting kit for my 2000, so when I take the doors off, I still have mirrors. Does anyone have any experience with this? What types of issues should I be aware of and look out for? Any info would be appreciated.
Sounds like a great set-up. Wish I had thought of going that route before I did something about mine - 2 mpg means a great deal with that thirsty 4L. Unfortunately, it is already done. It is much quieter, now, and while I hadn't noticed before, but the performance had been affected - it has better pickup on the hills. Since our regular commuter is a 4 banger and also since the weather has been so dry, I hadn't been driving the Wrangler to work - just to wander around the mountains, so I hadn't really noticed the less power. Now I notice a distinct difference in power between the two.
Now if we can just get that forecasted snow for today, I'll be happy!0
You mean the 97 4.0Liter has a distributor and yours does not? What year did they change?
I am not sure if I am ticked or happy to have a distributor.0
Maybe it had the same power, you just didn't use it with your foot all the way into it to save the ears.
:-) :-(
cklausing Posts: 16Actually, I was in the same boat not too long ago, and have just finished my initial test run with the mirrors that I picked up. I ended up ordering the pair of "Quick-Mirror II" through Quadratec. These come with mounting hardware that attaches to your windshield hinges, and this hardware can be left on, even when the mirrors are not in use.
My only experience has been with these particular mirrors, but I'm sure at least some of it carries over to others as well:
1) The actual installation was a breeze. Had to go out and pick up the proper torx bit to get the bolts out of the windshield hinge, but it took very little force on my part to get them out, and the entire install time was roughly 10 minutes for both sides.
2) Getting the doors off was fairly easy as well, but I quickly decided to leave the bolt caps off of the door bolts when I put the doors back on. They don't really seem necessary, and it is just one less step that I have to do which risks putting a big scratch in the side of my jeep. (Also, make sure to undo the door-restraint strap before attempting to lift the door off the pivots. This sounds obvious, but I wasn't paying attention and the first door I lifted off was still strapped to the inside of the jeep....)
3) As for the add-on mirrors themselves, the passenger side mirror in the "QM-II" pair that I bought is a really funky looking thing. I assume there is a legit reason for this, but I really wish they'd just have included the same mirror arm as they did on the driver side. I'd have to go look at the mount bracket, but I think you might be able to get away with buying two driver-side mirror packages, and just flipping the bracket on one of them to mount it to the passenger side.
4) At least for the "QM-II" setup, the piece of the bracket that actually holds the mirror arm needs to be postioned such that the hole that accepts the arm is on the front side of the car. Kind of difficult to put into words, but you would know what I'm talking about if you actually see the hardware. This is necessary to limit one of the below problems.
5)As for the actual mirrors, there are some serious issues that you have to make sure to work around. If you are going to be using them at highway speeds, that is going to put a LOT of torque on the mounting hardware. This won't damage the mount at all, but since at least with the QM-II model, everything is held in place using friction, so there is nothing actually "locking" the mirror in place. This is a real problem with the passenger side mirror. Because of it's funky arm, wind places some serious torque on the mirror in such a way that it WILL rotate while you are driving. I hand-tightened that thing as far as I could get it, and it still would start to move about the time I hit 50mph.
The driver side mirror is a bit better. It has a long arm, but because of the way it sticks out (which is totally different from the passenger side arm) the torque gets applied in a different plane, and as long as you make sure you took into account the info in #4, the mirror shouldn't move a bit.
6) The "QM-II" kit came with some really tiny hex-bolts to lock the mirror arm in place with. These things are REALLY easy to mis-thread, so be super careful.
Last minor annoyance is that the mirrors make a whistling sound at high speed. Not a huge gripe by any means, but it is noticable.
All in all, I ended up not even using the passenger side mirror. I've contemplated ordering a second driver-side kit and using the arm from it to attach the passenger side mirror in the same fashion as the driver side, but it isn't essential. The driver side mirror once properly attached has worked great. I've had it up to about 80mph just to see if it would hold, and it didn't budge a bit. If they'd just have not used such a funky mount arm for the passenger side, I'd have been completely happy.
Well, that is my experience so far. Overall I'm satisfied, but just be aware up front that if you are going to be driving at highway speed with the doors off, make sure the mirror kit you end up going with is capable of handling the torque. Looking back, I'm thinking I may have been best off just getting some of the relocation brackets and moving the factory mirrors off the door and onto the jeep body itself. Don't know if that would have given me the best position or not, but at least the factory mirrors don't have long arms on them and hence aren't as affected by the torque that wind causes......0
How true, how true. Or it could be that with all this dry weather I forgot what it was like to drive it on the freeway (good weather we take the more economical Tacoma). Oh well, my other half and I are going to different places this weekend, so I'll be driving the Wrangler to Vegas! Even though it takes longer (I drive slower) it is still more comfortable on long trips than the Taco!0
ccladrew Posts: 1I've been looking at replacing my soft top. There are a few types out there. Want to get an opinion on the different kinds. What about these Sailcloth or something. They say they are the quietest out there.0
I think the TJ switched to distributorless ignition in 2000. Should be more reliable and less prone to water issues. The newer ones have a coil bar that covers the plugs.
Did you ever hear from nkelly? I'm heading up to Washington this summer and thought he might recommend some jeep trails up there.
My Wrangler is too clean at the moment - I took it to Vegas this weekend for an investment seminar instead of the trails. Came back on Monday so didn't even have the excuse of bad traffic to get out into the desert...
ccladrew - I have a hard top, which I love, so I don't know anything about soft tops.0
supercru Posts: 9I would like to find a way to get a couple (2-3)more inches of drivers seat legroom in a new Wrangler. Has anyone tried to squeak out an inch or two by remounting the front seat? How about after market seats? I am 6'-7" and would appreciate any ideas. (Other than a painful surgical option that is...) Thanks in advance for any help..0
Do you own a Wrangler? I'm 6'5" and the legroom is a concern of mine- I sat in one at the Chicago Auto Show, and it seeems to be enough, but I haven't driven one yet. I think I'll need the tilt steering wheel since my knee hits it when I press the clutch. Any thoughts?0
6'1" here.
Just barely enough.
For what it's worth, if anyone needs to replace Jeep seats, I hear that the Ford Mustang seats are an exact match for bolt holes, so that opens up possibilities with aftermarket and junkyard finds.0
jeepfreedom Posts: 6Hi all,
I've been contemplating buying a 2002 or 2003 wrangler sport. Does anyone know of changes for 2003? I read a couple of months (can't remember publication) ago that the I-6 may be replaced with a V6. Can anyone verify or discredit this? Any input will be helpful and appreciated......thanks
opinions wanted.....green or patriot blue w/camel interior?0
jeepspinner Posts: 4Hey Mtngal!
I am an on again, off again lurker on the Wrangler list, but just had to chime in, because I spin, knit and weave! My travelling wheel fits nicely in the back of Harley Jane - I just strap the legs to the hooks on the floor so the wheel doesn't fall over. The wheel is much happier now that it doesn't have to rattle around in the trunk of a car!
Here's the details on the Jeep -
Name: Harley Jane
Date of Birth: December 15, 2000
Model Year: 2001
Model: Sahara
Color: White
I love my Jeep - I smile every time I drive her!
Now I just have to move where there are mountainy trails to play on!0
stever Posts: 52,462Welcome to Town Hall from a fellow weaver (been loomless for three years, but on the lookout for a 2 harness to make some rag & churo rugs).
SUVs, Vans and Aftermarket & Accessories Message Boards
My mom has a loom and spinning wheel. I used to know how to knit and spin and weave when I was a kid, but have probably forgotten it.
Nkelly has just plain disappeared on us. I have not heard from him in ages. I have though about him and wondered what happened to him.
I hate it when our buddies just disappear like that.
Have you hugged your Jeep today?0
You are 6'-7" tall? Geez! Just remove the front seat and sit on the back seat while you drive!
Seriously, I hope you find a solution. It would be a shame for someone not to be able to enjoy having a Jeep. Good luck.
Have you hugged your Jeep today?0
I saw a kid at the Y getting out of a Saturn sedan (older one). He just kept getting out and out and out. He must have been around 6'8" or 6'9" tall.
You never know how a car might fit.0
goducks1 Posts: 432Who knows where they get their information, but Edmunds reports that the Wrangler will keep the 4.0L I6 for one more year:
big_dave Posts: 13I'm 6-4, and my biggest problem when looking at cars was headroom. There's plenty in the Wrangler, and I fit fine for legroom with the driver's seat all the way back (and slightly reclined). My only pet peave is that I don't have the tilt steering wheel, so I have to crane my neck to see some of the gauges.
I think you'll be alright at 6-5 (and definitely the tilt steering wheel), but the only way to know for sure is to take one of those suckers out for a drive!0
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does things like that. I've never tried spinning, but I think about it every time I pass the alpaca that lives on the main road! I always thought that jeeps and off-roading didn't quite go with knitting needles! As I've said before, Wranglers seem to go well with all sorts of people - tall, small, those who just drive to work and those that love going places without pavement.
My husband is only 6' and he has no problem with either leg room or head room. However, the back seat is barely big enough for me - he doesn't even try to get back there...0
Hi Everyone-
Thanks for all of the advice over the past 2 weeks. I went to the dealer last night and took the plunge. Here are the details for my new baby.
Name - Simmone
Birth 3/13/02
2002 Sport
Black w/ black soft top
30" Canyon Tires
Dana Rear Axle
3.73 Ratio
Trac Lok Differential
Side Steps
CD and 7 speakers
I traded my Camry for this and was able to get a very good deal.
The blue book of the Toyota was 9700- I was able to get 11000 for that, and Simmone at 200 over invoice. It took some arguing and patience, but I got the deal and drove it home last night!
I can't wait for the summer to come so I can pull the top down.
Thanks again for the advice!
By the way- 6'5" and it fits fine.0
CONGRATULATIONS! I know you have to be in 7th Heaven right now!
Sounds like a fantastic deal! (And a great Jeep)
Have fun and share the joy with us by posting here and telling us how you are enjoying your early days with the Jeep.
Once again, congrats!
Your profile says you live in Illinois. I am in Ky., so if you live in southern Illinois, we may not be too far from each other. We might be able to get together at Turkey Bay on Ky Lake for some "wheelin'."
Have you hugged your Jeep today?0
Conrats on the new Jeep! You'll have a great time with it. So, tsjay, now you're a real convert to the "get it dirty" gang! It is lots of fun! In some ways I wish I earned more - I wouldn't be quite so cautious on the trails - I can't afford high repair bills, like a friend of mine who is always replacing or tearing up something on her 4x4, lifted, locker installed, etc. Toyota truck.
I'm having a hard time - I would really like the Rubicon, but haven't ever felt a need for lockers, etc. And I'm not sure having 2 Wranglers is the most practical idea for us, but I sure would like that Rubicon...0

jim222 Posts: 8My 99 Wrangler Sport has 32K on it at present. Last fall I discovered the defrosters did not work. My dealer here in west Michigan said he would take care of it under warranty. When I picked it up, he said that it was a 6 hour job and the dash had to be removed. He said that his dealership has had about a half dozen returns to be remedied for the same problem. Now my dash has a couple of annoying rattles. Has anyone else experienced the same situation?0
Thanks for posting your problem. My '98 Wrangler heats and cools just fine - but all the air goes only through the defroster ducts. It had switched the A/C to the defrost ducts once the first summer we had it, then went back to operating normally. It was involved in an accident the next winter and I didn't notice until the next summer that the air (cold or hot) only goes through the defroster ducts. I've never bothered to check into it, since the only difference is that it is less efficient A/C (for heat we always have it on defrost anyway). From what you are saying, I REALLY don't want to correct it!
By the way, it looks like we might have some winter after all - it snowed last night! Hopefully more snow tomorrow! Hooray - an excuse to drive the Wrangler!0

Crossing the Bay to Maxixe
Posted by Miquel Silvestre at 7:01 AM |
Sometimes I get bored of riding the road. How about a short boat trip? It couldn't be that bad having a pleasant sea journey. The only problem is not forget behind a German Princess. But she is afraid of water so she never learnt how to swim.
So here we are, in Maxixe, a horrible town with a really nasty hotel.
Fortunately, I always keep my insecticide to kill the bugs who like to crawl around. Think twice when you say you are envious about my trips or I will send you some pictures of those awful neighbours.

That's just like the boat ride across the Mekong in Laos but without the sail. The bugs in Laos were pretty bad too, we are still haunted by one hotel where we couldn't get any sleep due to bed bugs and mosquitoes.

Farewell to the days of summer. Mother Nature reminded us of the arrival of a new season with a few showers here at Turner Central. Meanwhile, Tea Party Republicans, just like the dark clouds on the horizon, threaten to dampen our day. Oh, how we long for happier times.
But, cheer up, because we've got some snarkin' to do.
The Week That Was
Republican Presidential candidates participated in yet another debate, this time hosted by Fox News and Google in Orlando. Lots of frank reaction from pundits: Rick Perry bombed yet again. We agree with Paul Begala, who's noted that the audience at these conservative outings have been downright despicable at times. We loved the Tea Party costumes, BTW. Rick Santorum has FINALLY contacted Google about the Santorum problem, but the search engine kindly reminded him that they couldn't do much to clean up his act. Ha ha. We almost forgot to mention that a "Thaddeus McCotter" has withdrawn from the campaign for the GOP nomination. Phew, thanks for reminding us that you were even here, Thad.
Congressional Republicans have a mighty fine plan for the U.S. economy, conveniently unveiled in a letter to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke earlier this week. Basically, Ben, you ARE NOT to intervene to prevent an economic meltdown. How's that for putting Country First? The Dow fell more than 300 points yesterday amid fears of an imminent global recession is just around the corner. Speaker Boehner again had a falling out with the most conservative members of his Caucus. You can't have a tea party without tea, Mr. Speaker. The House managed to pass a continuing resolution, but Senate Democrats took issue with the measure, which reduces disaster relief aid and cuts into a $1 billion vehicle manufacturing loan program.
World leaders gathered in New York City for your usual set of meetings and chest-thumping speeches before the U.N. General Assembly. Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed America for the global financial crisis, accused the U.S. and its allies of causing misery from slavery and world wars, and said that Israel is responsible for 60 years of war. Obama underscored his Administration's commitment to the security of Israel (but don't tell Rick Perry that) and urged the Palestinians to reconsider their petition to the UN to formally recognize an independent state. Obama's speech appears to have been overshadowed in the media by his photo-op snafu. Well done, Mr. President.
Troy Davis, convicted of killing a policeman 22 years ago, was executed Wednesday night in Georgia. The U.S. Supreme Court denied a final appeal by his attorneys. His supporters say flawed testimony and lack of evidence should have exonerated Mr. Davis. Former President Jimmy Carter called the execution unjust and hoped that the case would spur a drive to end capital punishment in the United States. We might as well show you what the pundits from the other side had to say on the Twitter. That's right - keep it classy.
Gay service members and their allies are celebrating the end of the military's 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy, which sailed into history at midnight on Tuesday. Well, there you have it: the world didn't end. Hours before the ban was lifted, a soldier serving overseas recorded a video as he came out to his father.
The White House launched its We The People portal, where ordinary Americans can petition the Administration, as long as they reach a threshold of 5,000 signatures. You know where this is headed. Two of the top petitions relate to marijuana legalization. Another petition calls for Obama to acknowledge the presence of extraterrestrials living among us. When we checked the website just now, we received a maintenance alert on our screen. We'll try tomorrow.
Amazon.com is receiving some unwanted attention this week after a local Pennsylvania paper reported on harsh conditions workers endure at one of its packing warehouses. Current and past employees worked the summers in temperatures above 100 degrees. Workers whose productivity suffered from the heat were terminated and quickly replaced. Apparently, working for Amazon is just like working in the Amazon.
Are You Not Entertained?
Netflix, or at least half of the outfit, is now known as Qwikster. Sadly, the brand people didn't realize that someone else owns the Twitter account @Qwikster. This and a spate of angry former subscribers and you've got one disaster of a rollout.
The Salahis basked in the political rags of this city after their attention-grabbing stunt at the White House state dinner back in 2009. Last week, Tareq believed his wife Michaele had been kidnapped. Well, it turns out she fled into the arms of another man. Tareq has already filed for divorce. Reality bites.
Ted Haggard has a new gig with an appearance on "Celebrity Wife Swap." According to the Colorado Springs Gazette, a portion of the show will be shot at the Colorado Springs GLBT Pride Center. Hey, people, we're just reporting the facts.
Jon Stewart is absolutely terrified at the thought of Bill O leaving the country over Obama's plan to raise taxes on millionaires. We would be too.
Interweb Tomfoolery
Facebook user fury! That's nothing new. The social networking giant announced a complete overhaul of its venerable platform. Timelines will add a lot more visual elements to the user's profile, so that your friends will learn more about you, we guess?
Wars, recessions, petty conflicts. There are times when you just want to get away from it all. It's too bad the ISS will one day meet its fiery end.
The American Family Association is mad as hell at Ben & Jerry's latest ice cream flavor, Schweddy Balls. AFA is now calling for a boycott. Going after ice cream - now that's a sign of desperation.
Some adults just weren't meant to have kids. A kindergartener showed up for show-and-tell (remember that?) one day with a bag of crystal meth and a crack pipe. The kid's 32-year old mother was arrested on drug charges. Tea Party Republican George Hutchins, running in North Carolina's Fourth Congressional District, has what we believe to be the best campaign website in the 2012 cycle. Just avoid getting a seizure when you read through his campaign platform.
Out on the Town
What are you doing this weekend?
- A free Chuck Brown concert at the Reagan Building
- Go local at the 17th Street Festival on Saturday
- Watch your favorite tennis stars at the HSBC Tennis Cup
- The Library of Congress hosts the National Book Festival on the Mall
- DC VegFest is at GW this year
- Fleet Foxes performs at Merriweather Post Pavilion
- And so will Jason Mraz
- Take in the sights and sounds at Clarendon Day
- Don't miss the 4th Annual Hyattsville Art Festival
- Das Best Oktoberfest - rain or shine
- The Spring Latin Fiesta is in downtown Silver Spring Saturday
- Common is at The Park at 14th
- Learn to live green(er) at the Green Living Expo DC
Are Democrats trying to destroy the economy? That's a voice-over from Fox News a few years back. Republicans want their cuts from programs affecting the most vulnerable and thankfully their opposition is holding. Rick Perry, the Tea Party fantasy candidate, appears to be flaming out and Mitt Romney couldn't be any happier with that.
There's more snark to come, so stay tuned on the Twitter and on Facebook (if you can figure the latter out).
See you next week!

Puzzle 2007 03 114 Answer
|A.A.M. Wilde, N.A. Blom
|NHJ edition:
|These Rhythm Puzzles have been published in the Netherlands Heart Journal and are reproduced here under the prevailing creative commons license with permission from the publisher, Bohn Stafleu Van Loghum.
|The ECG can be enlarged twice by clicking on the image and it's first enlargement
A boy with a birth weight of 3.030 g was born by caesarean section at 33 weeks of gestation because of bradycardia and severe foetal hydrops. Physical examination at birth showed a hydropic neonate with a heart rate of 70 beats/min. He had cutaneous syndactyly between the fourth and fifth fingers of the left hand. During the first week of life he suffered from polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias for which β- blocker treatment was started and an epicardial pacemaker (VVI) was implanted. An ECG a few weeks later is shown in the figure.
What is your diagnosis?
The 12-lead ECG shows sinus rhythm with a frequency of 98 beats/min. The PQ interval is 140 msec and the QRS width 60 msec (normal value for a neonate). The vertical axis is normal for the age. Repolarisation is grossly abnormal and clearly alternates in morphology every other beat. This T-wave alternans is visible in every lead but most clearly in lead V4. The QTc interval is severely prolonged and varies between 665 and 689 msec. The P wave fuses with the terminal part of the T wave and intermittently was not conducted (i.e. functional 2:1 block, not shown).
The combination severe QT-interval prolongation and syndactyly is classical for type 8 LQTS also referred to as Timothy syndrome.[1] It presents frequently at birth with life-threatening polymorphic arrhythmias in the setting of severe QTc prolongation. Besides syndactyly (present in virtually all cases) extra cardiac features include congenital defects (ASD, VSD), hypoglycaemia, and autism. In 20% a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is shown, as was also seen in our case on echocardiography. 2 Left ventricular systolic function was decreased (left ventricular shortening fraction 20%). DNA analysis in our case also revealed the de novo CaV1.2 missense mutation G406R.[1][2]
Postnatal course
After one month, he developed recurrent torsades de pointes and syncope. Mexiletine 15 mg/kg and oral potassium supplementation were added to the therapy and an extracardiac single-chamber implantable cardioverter- defibrillator (ICD) was inserted at 4 months of age. He received numerous ICD shocks and eventually died at the age of two years after cervical sympathectomy.

Following in the wake of our consumer economy, most religious groups adapt their message to the whims of popular culture. The Bible, in contrast, presents itself as a message from God calling us to adapt our lives to God's will. While man-made religion is an extension of human desire, designed to affirm, the Bible is the word of God, challenging us to change. The difference between these two paths can be seen in the differing purposes of a projector and a flashlight.
A projector casts an image with the purpose of fooling your senses into believing something is present which really is not. However engaging the image may be on the screen, it really isn't present. A flashlight, in contrast, exists to reveal reality through illumination. When I go hiking through the woods, can you imagine how useless my flashlight would be if, instead of revealing the truth about the path ahead, it projected a fanciful image of whatever I chose to see at that moment. A projector is appropriate for entertainment, as it is dealing with fantasy. A flashlight is appropriate for illumination, for it reveals reality.
God, in His grace, has provided illumination through Scripture. "Your word is a lamp to my feet," the Psalmist writes, "and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105, ESV) The Bible does not exist to titillate our flights of fancy, but to inform and direct us in truth. Popular religion, being a mere projection of human desires, cannot bring spiritual truth to light. Spiritual illumination only comes from seeing what God has revealed in Scripture.

U.K. Wildcats Cheerleaders - Partner Stunts
I know what you're probably thinking, how is cheerleading on Only the Migthy? I should tell you that the stunts in the video above without question require unbelievable strength on the part of the men, and incredible athleticism and balance on the part of the women. You still might not attend the Cheerleading World Championships this year, but this may very well make you see cheerleading in a different light. Submitted by bgunsolu.

ETEA test is MCQ's based test consist of four subject Physics, Biology, English and Chemistry. ETEA test is very difficult and many of the students find it hard to pass this test in order to get admission in their desired Medical Colleges and Engineering Universities of KPK, so if you want to pass it you need to work very hard and guidance is also very important. ETEA test is tricky and the main reason behind failure of many students is that they are unable to manage their time efficiently. The ETEA Medical test is challenging and only a few of students are able score between 600 to 700 marks in the entry test. Pakprep.com can help you with that, because we have different MOCK tests for ETEA which will help you in managing your time and also you are able to know the difficulty of the test so that you can make up your mind according to that.

The sole purpose for which ETEA agency was formed is to undertake admission tests for engineering and medical on behalf of universities of the province. But as the time passes their scope increases and now they are looking focusing on establishing better standards and facilitating institutes of province to bring more efficiency and transparency.
Their test consists 200 MCQ's and all of them are from the syllabus of FSC. They also have negative marking in their test. Each correct answer consist 4 marks, if you give wrong answer 1 mark will be deducted and if you leave blank you will get 0.

ETEA medical test has negative marking. Every correct question will add 4 marks in student account where-as every mistake will deduct -1 marks from student total. If any student has 90 correct answers, 50 wrong answers and 60 blanks (no answers), he/she would earn the following 90 x 4 + 50 x (-1) + 60 x (0) = 360 – 50 + 0= 310.

Try something like this.
if [Order Date]=(IF DATENAME('weekday', [Order Date Parameter])='Monday' THEN [Order Date Parameter]-3
ELSE [Order Date Parameter]-1
then [Sales] END
So if it is Monday we will be comparing with moday-3 that is Friday, else just -1.
Hope it helps.

Austin Seminary students relax in the Currie Dorm Lounge, 1956. From the Austin Seminary Archives.
What are finding aids?
Archival collections are usually accessed through finding aids. A finding aid provides a summary of the collection, a brief biography of the creator, and an inventory of the materials in the collection and their dates. In general, material is inventoried at the folder level, and not at the item level. Researchers use the finding aid to narrow down their search and locate folders that may be of interest.
The description of the collection is generally broken up into "series," or groupings of like items. The finding aid will usually be organized in an outline format below each series grouping.
Our Collections
The Austin Seminary Archives include correspondence, photographs, diaries, printed material, audio and video material, and other documentation of Austin Seminary and the Presbyterian church in the Southwest.
The Archives has many collections, only some of which have completed inventories available online. If you have any questions about using the archives in person, or if you would like to ask a reference question via email, please contact the archivist.

Congregational Histories
Many researchers are interested in researching the history of their congregation. We have created an index of congregational materials throughout our collections, arranged by state, city, and church. You can view the index here. Inventories for collections referenced in the index are available on our collections page.
Use Policies
Due to limitations of space, in-person access to all archival materials is by appointment only.
Archival materials do not circulate and must be viewed on-site.
Most material that is open for research can be photocopied or scanned for personal use unless the material is too fragile or photocopies are restricted by the donor. All photocopying will be performed by archives staff.
The Archives reserves the right to limit use of any material in a fragile physical condition. Researchers may be required to use a facsimile to protect the original from wear.
In all collections, records containing employee records, student grade information and/or social security numbers are restricted for a period of 80 years from the date of creation or until the individual is deceased.
Note that parts of some collections may be restricted for a period of time as part of our agreement with the donor. In addition, many Austin Seminary administrative records and Congregational records have certain access restrictions. Please contact the archivist with any questions about the availability of a collection.
The Austin Seminary Archives collects and preserves select websites relating to our students, faculty, and staff. For more information, see our web archiving policy (PDF).

Why See LeAnn Rimes?
LeAnn Rimes Is Still A Country Queen
LeAnn Rimes released her first hit, Blue, when she was just 13-years old, and has had a rocky path since with many awards and further Billboard-topping moments mixed in with some of the challenges of living the public eye. Perhaps best known for her Country crossover success with hits like How Do I and Can't Fight The Moonlight, the songstress is hitting the road and bringing along her hit-filled catalogue, coming to in , ,
With a sweet, dulcet-toned voice taking centre stage, Rimes is also adept at conversing with her crowds in between songs, making each concert a personal affair. Having sold over 37 million albums internationally, the seasoned performer is still a forced to be reckoned with and her energy on stage is enough to have Country's young stars quaking in their boots.

General Information
Another licensed brand for Icon Health & Fitness. They put this brand in Wal-Mart over the past few years and they have sold like hotcakes! Some of the newer models at the higher price points are on par with Proform and the entry-level NordicTrack units at a bargain price. If you buy their sub $400 units, you are getting what you deserve- a piece of junk for $400. These are mainly units made for the casual user. If you are looking for a serious machine, nothing to see here...keep moving on.
Quality / Philosophy
Gold's Gym is produced by Icon, a company with thousands of employees and large resources. Put simply, their machines have the best design in the business. Icon has a long, storied history that provides an example of how the big keep getting bigger. Icon used to be the mass-market darling because of their cheap prices but they used to have quality to match. These days they put quality into the machines and pack them with features. We can no longer say Icon has the worst customer service in the business after experiencing the cheap treadmills sold on Amazon. We rate the machines by the individual machine quality, not the quality of their service.
Icon is the largest fitness equipment producer in the world with over $1 billion in sales. If the fitness industry were a solar system, Icon is so powerful that they would be the Sun. In terms of stability they are the best, but overall their customer service isn't up to the standards of any of the lower volume producers. Although you get a value price for the product, you also get value service so keep this in mind when buying their machines- apparently they price their machines so low in comparison to other companies that they don't have money left for service. Due to the sheer number of units they produce, we pick up support in many cases where this factory leaves off.

We went to one of the many little park areas along the Eagle River this weekend. Our plan was to go to the Nature Center, but the little parking lot was overflowing, so instead we stopped at one of the Eagle River parks. This is the first time I've seen, touched, and walked on black beach sand. What is up with that? Tom taught me that this is actually from Volcanic activity. Cool. Well, cool as long as we don't have lava pouring our way.
Bonnie and I are slow when it comes to walking and "adventuring."
So Tom always likes to run off ahead to see what we may encounter, if Bonnie can maneuver it, that sort of thing. It's fun to see him up on mountains or doing his climbing thing off in the distance.
Bonnie had a blast picking up rocks and tossing them in the river.
And giggling the whole time.
Tom was busy finding his own rocks to skip. He's really good at that!
Mine just skip once, maybe twice. He's go on and on.
Below he's showing me what a good skipping rock looks like.
Just make yourself comfortable, Bonnie. Don't worry about the black mud getting on your bottom. Your pants can be washed.
Me and Bonnie checking it all out.
Time to go.
What else can we get into today?
I think a visit to the Alaska Wild Berry Products store is in order. They have a chocolate waterfall. And fudge. And all kinds of fun stuff to look at. They even have Alaska themed scrapbooking supplies.
Watch out, Bonnie!
Tom posted this on Facebook and said, "I'm pretty sure Bonnie doesn't know what's behind her."
My bother, Scott, commented, "She knows, but supermodels are professional and won't show their emotions until after the perfect shot is taken."
LOL I love my family's humor.
Look at all this fudge and chocolate goodness!
We bought some chocolate covered gummy bears and some chocolate peanut butter covered pretzels.
More goodness happening at home this weekend.
We have learned this is the BEST way to cook bacon!
Ginger loves sitting by the fire!
And looking for wildlife.
They both love laying in the sunshine.
Wonder what kind of adventure we can find next weekend?
Until next time....

Help from all gamers and modelers please - stolen gear.
My neighbour's grandson was staying and had his entire Warhammer (fantasy and 40k) collection he has been working on since he was a kid, stolen from his car on Sunday night when the storm came through. Also his Xbox, PC, Playstation, Nintendo games and machines, comics, etc.
These may be passed on locally, so if you have any ideas, post here, call me on 04 297 1040 or txt 029 904 2600, or call the Police.
Please help if you can. Douglas, as a gaming community we hope that you get your models back.

Rebecca Lombardo has recently released a book detailing her battle with bipolar disorder. In this blog post she gives us a taste of what the book has in store with a summary of what life was like at its lowest for her and how she came to write her book.
TW: Detail around self harm and suicide, please only read if you are comfortable with this content.
Recovery means many different things to many different people. It's a very difficult and personal journey. Not everyone is strong enough to realize they need help, let alone know what to do once they get it. You often hear people speaking about a place called "Rock Bottom." The consensus is that to help yourself, you have to realize when you've hit the bottom. Some people take years to get to that point. Some people never get there. I'm grateful to say that I am one of those that beat the odds. I hit that bottom, and I hit it hard. The most difficult thing I've ever had to do was make my way back up.
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19. I started taking medication at that time and still do at age 42. I've always been realistic about my condition. Having attempted to exist without medications, I know that they are a necessary evil. If I stop taking them, it doesn't take long for me to fall into a deep, dark depression. If the physical symptoms of withdrawal don't kill me first. I'm logical enough to understand that I will never fully recover from bipolar disorder, and I'm OK with that. Some people have to take medication for the rest of their lives for diabetes or heart disease. So, I don't burden myself with the thought of getting better. Don't get me wrong, I am always trying to improve myself and the way that I feel, but I know that there is no cure for bipolar disorder.
In my late 20's I made the mistake of thinking that I might not want to be around anymore. My depression was beginning to take over my life. Even relatively normal heartaches seem to affect me much greater than the average person. I was also experiencing migraines that started at the age of 12. The older I got, the worse they got. I felt like I had lost complete control over my life, so I was going to try to kill myself. I was using an old razor, and when I didn't receive the desired effect, I kept going. Eventually, I stopped thinking about dying and starting to experience what could only be described as calm. I had no idea that this was "a thing".
My mind just kept taking me back to the thought that I was such a failure at life, I couldn't even commit suicide correctly. Eventually, self-injury became a huge part of my life. I had rituals, songs I played, an entire box of instruments, and a safe place to hide them. One night, I made a mistake and went too far. I couldn't possibly confess to my parents what I was doing, so I did the only thing I thought I could. I called my then boyfriend that abused me, and asked him for help. He drove me to his sister's house because she had once studied to be a medical assistant. Sitting at her dining room table, she stitched up my arm, with no sanitation and no numbing solution for the pain.
As I got a little older, self-injury wasn't necessarily as important to me, but it was always in the back of my mind. I was humiliated when I would date, and the guy would see my scars. I was covered with them. In May of 2001, I officially started dating the man that would become my husband. He was extremely supportive, but just as confused as anyone else was. He didn't understand that I was already beating myself up enough; I didn't need him to get mad at me for the behavior. Eventually, we started working through it, and my urges were much less frequent.
In fact, I went five years without an incident until 2013.
Despite the fact that self-injury was no longer a big piece of my life, I still kept some instruments hidden in our house. When my life went into a full-on tailspin that June, it was the only thing I could think about. Truthfully, once I started again, I was so depressed that I didn't care if I died. I just wanted the pain to stop. With each pass over my skin, I felt a myriad of emotions. Failure, fear, guilt, and even a small amount of relief. I couldn't stop sobbing, and eventually I must have cried myself to sleep because I woke up some time later to my doorbell ringing. My husband had called my family from work and sent my dad and my sister over. At that point, I was the only one that knew I had also swallowed a full bottle of medication.
I was admitted to the hospital, and later I was committed by the state. It was the worst experience I have ever had in my entire life. It was a horrible, horrible facility. I played the game and was a model patient. After four days, they let me out. Driving home from that hellhole with my husband, I swore I would never take another sharp instrument to my skin again. I pushed all of the past failures to the side. I focused on the here and now and started a clean slate. I developed my own coping skills, and I started writing. I wrote a lot. It began as a blog but has become a book. I am proud to say it was just released on August 21, 2015!
Don't get me wrong, I still have urges. They may never go away. However, I know now how to put a voice to my feelings and communicate with my loved ones. This past June, I celebrated two years clean of self-injury. What an enormous milestone for me. I'm so grateful to the people that stuck by me during this journey. Nothing about it has been easy, but I am a survivor. In fact, I'm a warrior.
