From our vantage point high above Muncho Lake in northern British Columbia, we look out over a sprawling emerald-green lake framed by treeless jagged peaks. Beyond is a wilderness filled with snow-capped mountains and deep green valleys, where Stone mountain sheep, caribou and wood bison roam.
We are on a ridge that flanks the original Alaska Highway road cut at Muncho, a route long since abandoned to a straighter highway below it. Driving the Alaska Highway, 2,400 kilometres from Dawson Creek, B.C., to Fairbanks, Ala., has been the dream of outdoor adventurers since it opened in 1947.
Most make the entire trip in three days. That is not hard to do today: The road is paved in all sections except where there is construction, so that cruising at 110 to 120 km/h is not out of the question, even for big RVs. But too many people are in a hurry, often overlooking wonderful side trips that offer even more spectacular scenery and wildlife.
Last July, Northern B.C Tourism's Heather MacRae and I explored some of these gems on our way toward Alaska. Here are a couple worth checking out.
Many Alaska Highway travellers consider the northbound stretch from Dawson Creek to Fort Nelson, B.C., to be the least interesting part. These falls break that stereotype with a 30-metre plunge by a river whose source is in the Rocky Mountains. Not only are the falls spectacular, but the surrounding cliffs are home to mountain goats, a species rare to the foothills.
Heather and I drove the unmarked 16.9-kilometre dirt and gravel road that bisects the main highway at Kilometre 267 west to a small parking area (not suitable for large RVs), then hiked along a 11/2-kilometre marked trail through a boreal forest dominated by black spruce. Deer and moose tracks criss-crossed the narrow path. Finally, we reached an overlook near the falls, framed by deep green forest.
After one night at Sikanni RV Park and Cabins and another in Fort Nelson, we continued north.
Certainly one of the most beautiful side trips off the Alaska Highway is to Flower Springs Pond in Stone Mountain Provincial Park. The pond lies in a valley surrounded by snow-capped mountains and fed by glacier runoff and underground springs.
The trail to Flower Springs starts at the Summit Lake Campground (Kilometre 597, and, at 1,295 metres in elevation, the highest point on the Alaska Highway).
It is a 10-kilometre round trip on tundra in caribou country.
About two-thirds of the way to the pond, we had an added treat: a mountain caribou approached.
Finally we came to a rise overlooking Flower Springs and the descent to the pond.
Our next side trip was just eight kilometres down the highway, so, after hiking back to our vehicle, we overnighted at nearby Stone Mountain Safaris and continued on the next day.

Baseball Rallies Past SLU in NCAA Opener, 8-4
Director of Digital Media
BATON ROUGE -- LSU rallied from a 4-2 deficit with six runs in its last two at bats to defeat Southeastern Louisiana, 8-4, in the opening game of the 2014 NCAA Baseball Regional at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
Top-seeded LSU (45-14-1) won its ninth-straight game and advanced to face No. 2-seed Houston, a 3-2 winner over No. 3-seed Bryant later Saturday.
Southeastern Louisiana (37-24), the Southland Conference Tournament Champions, had its six-game winning streak snapped despite breaking a 2-2 tie in the top of the sixth inning with a two-run home run by first baseman Sam Roberson.
The Lions fell into the loser's bracket on Saturday at 2 p.m. CT against Bryant.
Trailing 4-2 going to the bottom half of the seventh, shortstop Alex Bregman was hit by a pitch and designated hitter Sean McMullen walked with one out. Catcher Kade Scivicque poked a single past the shortstop and Bregman came around to score on a fielding error by the leftfielder. After the Lions inserted Matt Pittari for starter Andro Cutura, Tyler Moore singled to left field to score McMullen and knot the game at 4-4.
Nate Fury (3-1) entered in relief of Zac Person to start the eighth inning, and the righthander set the Lions down in order.
In the bottom of the eighth, LSU erupted for four runs on four hit to go along with two SLU errors.
With one out, Christian Ibarra reached second on a chopper that went about 10 feet from the plate when catcher Jameson Fisher over-threw first base. Mark Laird's third single of the game put runners on the corners, and Ibarra scored when Lions pitcher Dylan Hills' (6-4) attempted pickoff at first base bounced into right field. With a 5-4 lead, Laird scored when Bregman grounded out to the shortstop. Jake Fraley kept the rally alive with a single that was fielded by the first baseman before it could roll foul, and McMullen made the Lions pay for the mistake with a two-run homer to left-center field.
Southeastern led the game, 1-0, when right fielder Andrew Godbold smashed a solo home run off LSU starter Jared Poche' with two outs in the first inning.
The Tigers tied the game in the bottom of the second when Moore walked, advanced to second on a wild pitch by Cutura, moved to third on a groundout and scored on another wild pitch.
LSU took the lead for the first time, 2-1, when McMullen grounded out with runners on second and third in the bottom of the third inning.
Southeastern Louisiana scored the first of three unanswered runs in the top of the fifth, when Kyle Cedotal hit a one-out single and scored on a double by Jacob Williams to tie the game at 2-2.
In the sixth, Roberson hit a two-run home run off Poche' that put the Lions ahead 4-2, which they held until the bottom of the seventh.
Southeastern Louisiana vs. LSU
NCAA Baton Rouge Regionals
May 30, 2014
LSU Head Coach Paul Maineri
Opening Statement
"I give a lot of credit to Southeastern. That's a really good ball club. Their pitcher (Andro Cutura) was just outstanding. He was making tremendous pitches against our hitters in clutch situations, and he is a courageous kid. Ultimately, we came through with some huge hits. (Kade) Scivicque came through with a huge hit and ultimately Tyler (Moore) got the big RBI single to tie the ballgame. Things kind of unraveled for Southeastern there in the eighth inning with the errant throw by the catcher and the errant pickoff attempt. We took advantage of their errors with good base running. (Alex) Bregman and Sean (McMullen) came through when they made mistakes. Nate Fury also came through for us and allowed us to not use Joe (Broussard). All in all, it was a hard fought victory. I told our players after the game it reminded me of the 2009 game against Southern in the opening game of the regional. We ultimately were able to break the game open. That was a team that went on to win the national championship. We are happy with the victory and look forward to tomorrow night."
On just trying to get the job done…
"We faced a really good ball club that is playing inspired baseball. Their pitcher was really tough and a tremendous challenge. I have a lot of confidence in our guys and know they will stay poised and composed. They have gone through a 30-game SEC schedule and they've navigated through some valleys. When you've had down days, you have to keep battling and believing in yourself."
On learning from past NCAA games…
"We try to do everything to build our guy's confidence. When you're in this environment at LSU, there are such high expectations. You have to believe in yourself. As a team and individuals, you just can't give up. It has been a tradition of our program to rally and do whatever it takes to win. We just had to grind this one out. At times, it wasn't pretty, but we did what it took to win. I don't think we played poorly; I give more credit to their pitcher. He really did a great job of limiting our guys, but we still had 14 hits on the day. It wasn't a bad offensive day really."
On Jared Poche'…
"It's easy to say he didn't play well after giving up four runs on eight hits. I would argue that he threw a lot of strikes. He came out from the beginning and pounded the strike zone. He made two bad pitches that they hit over the fence. I have to give credit to Southeastern for making great swings on the ball. He pitched out of a jam in the seventh inning and a player with less courage would have folded. We just find ways to win. At the end of the day, the goal is to have more runs than the other team."
On starting his first regional game…
"I felt good coming into the game. I didn't have nerves or anything. I thought my fastball command, changeup command and curveball command was pretty good. I just made a few mistakes and those guys took advantage of that. You have to give credit to those hitters."
On his pitching performance and the LSU bullpen…
"I think I struggled with my put-away pitches. I left some curve balls too hittable. I should have left them in the dirt. With the bullpen coming in like that, I can't say enough about those guys. They have been doing that the entire year. They come in, throw a bunch of zeroes and get guys out anyway they can."
On his approach to the plate against Southeastern…
"I tried working the count today. I got deep in some counts. I was just trying to make contact. I found holes and used my speed to my advantage. On the pick-off play, it was a play that got away. (Alex) Bregman did a good job of putting the ball in play off a tough pitcher and getting the run."
On LSU taking the lead in eighth inning…
"Andro (Cutura) did a good job of keeping our hitters off balance. When we got runners on base, we needed to take advantage of that. Taking advantage of errors was a big thing in the game. In the bottom of the eighth, we got players in scoring position. We just needed to put the ball in play. We did that and scored some runs."
On today's victory over Southeastern Louisiana University…
"I think Andro (Cutura) pitched a great game today. He kept us off balance. We put together some good at-bats against him. We were able to get him out of the game and get into their bullpen. I think that was the key."
On his two-run home run…
"It definitely gave us more breathing room. Once Jake (Fraley) stole that base, it was extra inspiration to just get the hit. It is tough getting runners in scoring position. I was lucky enough to hit a ball over the fence. I wasn't trying to hit a homerun. I was just trying to score Jake."
Southeastern Head Coach Matt Riser
Opening Statement…
"Overall, I thought we competed the way we were supposed to. We went out there, we battled. Obviously, we had the one inning that got away from us a little bit, but besides that… I'm proud of the kids. They went out there and competed from pitch one to the last pitch. Even the last at bat, we pulled a guy from the bench who hadn't had an at-bat all day. He (Jesse Buratt) came in cold, but he came in ready to go. He kept battling off pitches and battling off pitches, but obviously he ends it with a fly-out. That just shows you the tenacity of our team. It shows you the mental makeup of our team. We've got a good bunch of tough kids. They are going to continue to compete no matter what happens. That one inning got away from us, but I've seen teams come back from it. I've seen teams come back and win the tournament... That was my challenge to them, what team are you going to be. Are you going to continue to be the guys that we are at Southeastern and continue to mentally be tough and mentally to battle at each pitch, or are you going to fold up? I think our guys are going to rise to the challenge."
On moving from this game to the next game…
"It starts right there with the meeting after the game. We go right into it, and we talk about it. We say it's a tough loss, and we had them on the ropes there until late. We just have to do a good job of flushing. That's the game of baseball. The beauty of the game of baseball is that we get to go back out there again tomorrow and play some more. It's not over yet, and that's what we keep telling our guys. It starts from now. As soon as you get on that bus, you have to flush it. You have to learn from your mistakes, move on from it and also take the good out of the game. Like I said, the best part for me, I saw our guys compete and continue to battle. If they continue to do that part, we will be ok."
On the game overall …
"We've gone over this a thousand times in drills. At the end of the day, it's baseball. They are 18 to 22 year old guys that go out there and compete. Sometimes you don't get the bounce, and sometimes you do. You have to tip your hat to LSU. They did a good job. Tyler Moore did a good job with two strikes of just poking one there in the gap to tie it up (during the 7th inning). That was kind of their MO all day. They just kept getting tough at bat and made their breaks today."
On the pick-off play at first base in the 8th inning …
"Just a regular pick-off move to first, just trying to check on the hit and run there. Obviously, it was in the back of his (Dylan Hills) mind that we'd do it. But at the end of the day, we just didn't execute it. It's really simple, and that's the way it goes sometimes."
On how the results would be different if it was an error free game…
"Yeah, but usually that's how it is in the game of baseball. If you play clean baseball, play fundamental baseball, you do get the win. If you look at the two runs they scored to tie it up, there was a hit-by-pitch and a walk. Then obviously the two runs to go-ahead, we threw the ball down the line. Then on the infield single, we threw another ball away. So nine times out of 10 in the game of baseball, that's why we preach fundamentals. We preach it to our guys in practice day-in and day-out. We did it all week this week as well. At the end of the day, just one inning got us."
Southeastern Louisiana 1B Sam Robertson
On his 2-for-4 day at the plate …
"I was trying to get a good ball to hit and be a little patient, not try to do a little too much. Luckily, I got two good pitches two hit and capitalized. Their pitchers did very well and hit their spots. I just got two good pitches to hit and capitalized."
On his home run in the sixth inning …
"That at bat was one of the biggest in the game for our team, I believe… I was just ready for the walk or the hit or whatever would happen after that because he's (LSU pitcher Jared Poche`) is very good at keeping that behind them and coming though whenever something like that happens. So I was already ready, ready for something good to happen for us. Once I got into that situation and saw him (Daniel Midyett) take second (on a stolen base), I was thinking a single would get him in. Luckily, I good barrel on it, got underneath it and it just went."
On limiting errors…
"It's disappointing for sure, but our big thing is eliminate the big inning. It didn't happen today. It just shows that whenever that happens, it kind of bites you in the butt. But we have to move on and take tomorrow on. Take it inning-by-inning, get three outs as fast as possible and score some runs."
Southeastern Louisiana P Andro Cutura
On his outing today…
"I didn't get too many three up, three down innings. They did a good job of hitting, and I had to work from behind a lot. I think our defense did a good job of making plays, and we battled through a lot of adversity through the game. I think we did a decent job. We had that one inning where we let it slip. Other than that, we did a good job of battling and facing adversity."
On his will to battle through adversity…
"This is my first time playing here, and I think I had a little bit of jitters in the beginning. I think I got through that pretty quickly. I fell behind in a lot of counts, and they got a lot of hits. I basically had to battle the whole time and try to make pitch for pitch in big situations. I was able to do that for most of the game but a couple slipped away."
Game 2: Houston def. Bryant, 3-2 (10 inn.)
BATON ROUGE, La. -- Second-seeded Houston defeated third-seeded Bryant, 3-2 in 10 innings, in game two of the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional Friday night at Alex Box Stadium, Skip Bertman Field.
Houston's Ashford Fulmer led off the bottom of the 10th inning by being walked. Fulmer moved to second on a ground out and third on a passed ball. Designated hitter Justin Montemayor then hit a sacrifice fly to left field to score the game-winning run.
With the win, Houston will face top-seeded LSU on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT. Byrant will face Southeastern Louisiana in the elimination game Saturday at 2 p.m.
Bryant led off the game with back-to-back singles. Leftfielder AJ Zaronzy then hit an RBI single through the left side to score Carl Anderson to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead.
Houston tied the game at one in the bottom the third inning. With runners on the corners, centerfielder Kyle Survance made it home on a wild pitch by McAvoy.
Houston scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Montemayor led off the inning with a double to left-center field. Third baseman Connor Hollis then reached first on an error by the Bryant pitcher, McAvoy. With runners on the corners, shortstop Frankie Ratcliff grounded into an RBI double play.
Houston's Tyler Ford (9-0) earned the win after only allowing one hit in the top of the 10th inning. Bryant's Kyle Wilcox (3-3) was charged the loss after allowing the winning run.
Opening Statement…
"We talked about what it takes to be successful at this level and at these games. I was very confident in our pitching and hitting. As it was evident, you have to take care of the baseball and limit free opportunities. We had six walks today. I am sure all of them scored. We made four errors, one on a drop pop fly, two on catcher's interference and one on a bunt that didn't hurt us. You can't give away free bases. I don't know how many runs they earned today. There weren't a lot of runs. They were hard to come by for both teams. The pitching was excellent. I am disappointed in the outcome. I thought we had a chance when we got through that last inning to keep playing for a while. We came up a little short."
On moving on from tonight's loss and preparing for tomorrow…
"We are already done with today. We already addressed today, and it is over. We will get something to eat, shower and go to bed. Then we will wake up and eat breakfast. We will be prepared to play our game tomorrow. We have a very good senior pitcher going tomorrow. We are a resilient team that I think has only loss two days in a row twice all year. I trust them. I know they will be ready to play hard tomorrow. Hopefully, we play a good game and will still be eating BBQ on Sunday."
Bryant Player Quotes
P Kevin McAvoy
On tonight's game with Houston…
"It was good. They're a good hitting team. Coach (Owens) told me before the game that we were going to pitch, and we were going to hit it. We didn't take care of the ball, we gave them too many base runners. Overall, it was a good game. We played hard."
3B John Mullen
On his game tying hit…
"I got up 3-1 in the count and was looking for a good pitch to hit. He left a breaking ball up. I was able to get a base hit with."
Opening Statement
"Bryant's an extremely good baseball team. Their starting pitcher, Kevin McAvoy, was really good. They are scrappy and really physical. I don't think we've seen the last of them. Our team just grinds games out with good pitching. It might not necessarily come from our starter. Tonight is no different than a lot of the games we have played this year. I'm just really proud of our guys and the effort. The guys didn't get down in the eighth inning when we gave up that run. Jared Robinson absolutely saved us today. We kept a really good hitting team off guard."
On facing LSU…
"We are not going to change anything going into tomorrow. I've been through a lot of these regionals and it's a lot of the same thing. The only thing that changes are the distractions and the environment around you. If you can put those things to the side and play then you have a chance to win. I told them that tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun. There is going to be a packed house out there. LSU is such a great team, and we are going to face the best pitcher in the country. You can't ask for anything more on a big stage like this."
On taking the underdog role…
"I guess on paper we are. They are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. We'll take the underdog role. We have nothing to lose and not one person in the country thought we would be here back in the fall. We are going to go out there and continue to play the game as we always have. We don't have any superstars, but we have a really good team. They play really well together and never quit."
Houston Pitcher Jared Robinson
On his relief performance…
"I just came in and tried to get one pitch at a time, let my defense get behind me and try to see what happens."
On facing LSU…
"We anticipated it, we want to win every game. We look to play the best teams. That's how you get on to the next round. We got a little sneak peak of the atmosphere and it's going to be a lot of fun tomorrow night. They're obviously a great team from top to bottom. They can hit and pitch, but we just have to come out and play our game."
Houston DH Justin Montemayor
On his final at bat…
"My last at bat I was going up there and realized he was throwing a lot of fastballs. So I was looking for a fastball, took a pitch in and drove it to the outfield."

I was putting my ULE body onto my rail and trigger frame and as I was tightening up the screw the little nub just broke off. The little cylinder on the bottom of the body that the screw goes into that holds the trigger frame, rail, and ULE body together in the front. I did not over tighten it and it looks like it broke cleanly off almost smooth. Is there a way to fix this (JB weld) ? Any suggestions of what might have been the problem? The body was room temp, I never crank down the screws because im to afraid I might strip one out, and I take care of my stuff.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

COLORADO SPRINGS -- Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn promised nearly a year ago to deliver a plan for "transformational" facilities upgrades in and around Folsom Field and Wednesday he and chancellor Phil DiStefano finally delivered.
In a briefing presented to the athletics subcommittee (six of nine members) of the CU Board of Regents at its meeting here on the CU-Colorado Springs campus, the two men outlined a plan for approximately $170 million in upgrades at Folsom Field but did not provide a specific timetable for when the projects will begin.
However, according to a release from the school, CU is challenging donors to raise $50 million toward the project and will begin construction when that figure is met by donations.
No tuition, student fees or state funding would be used to fund the project. It will be paid for entirely through private fundraising and money the athletic department earns through television contracts and future revenue from the Pac-12 Network.
The plan includes both renovations to current facilities and new construction, including a new student-athlete academic center, a new permanent indoor practice facility and eventually a new soccer and lacrosse field.
According to the university's release, the first phase of the project would be building the academic center beneath the east side club level of Folsom Field and also taking precautions against shifting ground beneath the north side of the east stands.
The second phase would tackle the expansion of the Dal Ward Athletic Center. The third phase would be building the permanent indoor practice facility adjacent to the outdoor practice fields already located north of Boulder Creek. Redevelopment of the west side stands at Folsom Field is part of the final phase of upgrades.
"I think it's a very reasonable plan of $170 million," DiStefano said. "Other places might be talking about $200 or $300 million. I think for Boulder and for our fundraising patterns that we've had and our history of fundraising this is very realistic. And I would much rather deal with realistic projects than pie-in-the-sky projects."
Regents seemed to respond favorably to the presentation. The board won't have to approve anything until a program plan is completed, which the school hopes to do by December. It's likely the project will be brought before the board in stages as funding becomes available.
"It is my sense that the board, without exception, would like to see us push the envelope on this as much as we can," regent Jim Geddes (R) Sedalia said.
Coach Mike MacIntyre also participated in the briefing telling the board it is important to move forward as soon as possible. MacIntyre referred the board to competitors around the Pac-12 Conference who have either recently completed major facilities upgrades or are in the process of doing so. He specifically mentioned USC, California, Arizona and Washington.
"Our facility is good, but to do what we want to do consistently and what you all want to do, we've got to do something," MacIntyre said. "We're going to give everything we have on the field and we're going to improve and we're going to keep getting better, but to do what we want to do ... all of this has to start moving forward and to be frank with you, it has to start moving forward pretty fast."
Both the practice facility and new soccer/lacrosse field projects would be built near the current football practice fields down the hill and across Boulder Creek from Folsom Field.
In the past year, during the process of evaluating its options, CU learned there isn't enough space to locate the practice facility immediately next to Folsom Field in the northeast corner as originally planned.
Locating the practice facility and the soccer/lacrosse field near the current football practice fields will require moving all or part of the family housing units located in that area now. DiStefano said officials have talked in the past about moving family housing, though it hasn't been included in the 10-year master plan at this point.
"I think now we're going to look at maybe speeding up that process," DiStefano said. "...We're working together on this to make sure we're not displacing our graduate students and married-family housing students, and at the same time trying to move on a trajectory that will get us the indoor practice facility, especially if we start raising more than $50 million, which is my goal."
CU's plans also include expanding the Dal Ward Center on the east and west sides and enclosing the north end of the stadium, which would add to the capacity of the stadium, which currently seats 53,613.
Improvements to the Coors Events Center are not included in the $170 million plan outlined Wednesday, but are also planned. Some of the highlights of construction planned at the events center include: expanding the concourse, adding more premium seating areas, building a new weight room, new visitors' locker room and new locker rooms for officials.
The school has already acknowledged it will likely pay for a substantial portion of the project by borrowing against future revenue expected from the growth of the Pac-12 Network.
MacIntyre is expected to name Boulder native Toby Neinas CU special teams coach as early as Thursday. Neinas, the son of Boulder-based consultant and former interim Big 12 Conference commissioner Chuck Neinas coached the secondary at Montana State in 2012 and has coached at five Football Bowl Subdivision schools since 1995. MacIntyre confirmed to the Board of Regents on Wednesday that he has hired the final member of his staff, but he was unable to talk publicly about the new assistant until the hiring process is complete.

Hershey Entertainment & Resorts names new CEO
The board of directors at Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Co. has named William F. Simpson Jr. as its new CEO, effective Jan. 1.
Simpson replaces Ted Kleisner, who is retiring at the end of the year.
The succession plan was first announced last year, at which time Kleisner took on the role of board chairman.
Simpson has been serving as the company's president and COO. Kleisner will remain a member of the board, a role he has served in since 1996.
Simpson started at Hershey Entertainment in 1996 as the general manager of the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center, which is now known as the Hershey Lodge.
In 2002, he became vice president of the entertainment group that oversees the operation of the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex. He guided the park to achieve all-time records in its performance categories and unprecedented levels of guest-satisfaction scores, the company said.
In April 2010, Simpson was promoted to COO, then president in November 2010. He joined the company's board in 2011.
"Bill's passion for encouraging people to develop to their highest potential is a quality that sets him apart from many other leaders," Kleisner said in a statement. "His 17 years of expertise and successful service to our company makes him the right person to take the organization into its next chapter."
Prior to joining the Derry Township company, Simpson was general manager of the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Houston, Texas.
"As a service-oriented company, we will continue to place our emphasis on employee and guest service," Simpson said. "But, truly, everything we do has to be looked at through the lens of how we are furthering the legacy of our founder and, specifically, positively impacting the Milton Hershey School."
Hershey Entertainment & Resorts and its subsidiaries own and/or operate the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex, Hersheypark Arena, Hersheypark Stadium, ZooAmerica North American Wildlife Park, the Hershey Bears, Giant Center, The Hotel Hershey, Hershey Lodge, Hershey Highmeadow Campground, Hershey Golf Collection, Hershey Nursery and Hershey Laundry.

After a few days using those belly belts to control the Gunnar-man's marking have been successful at keeping him from peeing on the stove, though it's not for lack of trying: Leaving him to his own devices results in a wet "diaper" every time. I'm hopeful that he will eventually grow weary of failing to mark the stove and/or walking around in a soggy belly belt, but so far that's not the case, and with his remarkable adaptability, this may never happen, but at least we have the mess under control for the moment, and that adaptability is showing through in just how little he is bothered by having to wear it.

Dear reader,
when you see a woman comfortably nursing her child - no matter where she is sitting or no matter how old the child - DO NOT offer her a towel, napkin, blanket or any other device to cover up her baby. DO NOT suggest she goes elsewhere, where its quieter/more secluded/less crowded/...
If this mother is indeed comfortably nursing her child, this means she is comfortable where she is. Nursing mothers who do need privacy will seek it out, or ask for a place to nurse their child more discreetly if they feel the need for it. Nursing mothers who feel the need to cover up will have something handy to that ends.
A nursing mother knows that her child might get hungry if she's out and about and she comes fully equipped.
Suggesting these things, even out of consideration or kindness, is offensive. It makes the mother feel like you think she shouldn't be nursing where she is right now. It makes her feel as if you notice her nursing because you are offended or unsettled by it. Any remarks about a nursing mother's discretion are simply uncalled for and not yours to give. Every nursing mother does exactly what she feels comfortable with so there is no need to meddle whatsoever. Most certainly she has considered the spot where she is sitting or the amount of 'exposure' she is portraying and is comfortable with it. She is not a sad little creature in need of chivalry or rescuing.
If you still feel the need to do something when you see a mother nursing her child, smile at her. Tell her how wonderful it is to see a mother nurse her child. Tell her how great it is that she is giving her baby the most natural, wholesome food she can. But please don't tell her to move or cover up. How would you feel if you were eating in a restaurant and some person came up to you and ask you if you would like a towel to put over your head while you eat? Or tell you maybe you'd rather sit in the bathroom or the staff room. Pretty damn awful, no?

As a kid, cleaning dirt off a carrot meant a couple of quick swipes across my jeans. To be honest, I don't remember tasting the dirt, but I vividly recall the joy of pulling the first carrot of the season out of the garden and enjoying its crunchy texture and sweet taste.
I often had a black ring around my mouth because I ate a lot of carrots straight from the garden. So did most of the kids I knew. Sadly, vegetable gardening declined to the point that many kids never experienced that ring-around-the-mouth syndrome, nor tasted the sweetness of a just-pulled carrot. But, thankfully, the current resurgence in edible gardens means more kids will learn the joys of gardening. So this year, even if you're not a gardener, consider a couple of pots or a small veggie or fruit patch and change the way your family looks at food. Here are my Top 10 reasons why your kids should be sporting a black ring around their mouths this summer.
1. Kids who are actively engaged in food gardening are much more likely to eat what they've helped to grow. So, if your child doesn't like carrots or broccoli, the chances of her trying some will be much greater if she made it.
2. When kids are munching away in a pea patch, they're not at computers or parked in front of TVs snacking on chips and soft drinks. Fill their stomachs with tasty, nutritious peas and carrots, and there'll be way less room for junk food.
3. Getting to the pea patch also means kids have to get out of the computer chair or off the couch, open the door, walk to the garden and bend over to pick the vegetables. This is commonly referred to as exercise, which in conjunction with a good balanced diet helps to combat childhood obesity. Every bit helps.
4. Vegetable gardening will teach children that the round, red things found in grocery stores are just facsimiles of the homegrown tomato. Kids who say they hate tomatoes might only hate the mushy, tasteless fruit that's common to many grocery stores. I hate those kinds of tomatoes, too. A sweet, juicy homegrown tomato might just change their opinions.
5. You can show young gardeners that the transportation of vegetables doesn't have to involve bins and tractor-trailers. When you grow food in your own yard, all you need is a pail or bag and a pair of shoes (optional) and the word "carbon" disappears from your footprint.
6. Besides being environmentally sound, vegetable gardens are also excellent settings to learn about some "ologies." There's nothing like a few potato beetles or cabbage worms to educate children (and adults, for that matter) about ecology and entomology. National Geographic online has great bug photographs and articles, but nothing compares to picking beetles and worms off plants to truly understand the natural world.
7. In a garden, kitchen food waste takes on a whole new meaning. When kids discover that kitchen scraps become compost, which in turn is food for plants, it teaches them that the term waste is often a misnomer.
8. The true value of water is more clearly understood when you have to lug a 20-litre (that's five gallons and heavy in either system!) water can across the yard or when a plant withers and dies from dehydration. Water is a precious resource. You can emphasize that point with another bit of science: A head of lettuce is 95 per cent water.
9. Gardening also teaches our kids about sharing. Whether they want to or not, they'll likely have to share their harvest with rabbits, deer, porcupines and voles, or perhaps elk, moose and bears (if you live in a more rural area). It might also make kids realize that even cute Disney-like animals need timeouts.
10. Finally, at the risk of offending hand-sanitizer manufacturers and germophobes, put away the disinfectant and grow a crop of free-range kids, who thoroughly engage in gardening. Because the best reason I know to get kids growing is to see a bunch of dirt-ringed smiles.

Huskers Finish Season at NCAA Regional
The Nebraska cross country team competed in its last meet of the season at the NCAA Midwest Regional Friday afternoon in Ames, Iowa. The men's team finished 9th out of 29 teams, while the women's team finished 20th out of 30 teams' total.
Head Coach David Harris was very impressed with the overall performance by both the men's team and the women's team today. On the men's side Harris was extremely proud of how the young team fought today, improving their Midwest Regional placing by 18 spots from last year. (NU placed 27th out of 30 teams in 2012).
"The men had a very-very good performance today, finishing ninth in a very talented field. We had a very solid effort from our top runner down through our sixth runner." Harris said, "I am very pleased with how this team finished the season on a high note, we really needed this."
Leading the way for the men's team was senior co-captain Jarren Heng, who ran a blistering 31:13.7 placing him 35th overall. A native of Norfolk, Neb., Heng was expected to be one of the Huskers top runners in 2013, but has battled through some minor injuries throughout the season. With that being said, Heng was very happy with his last race as a Husker cross country runner.
"Today's race was great, the whole team got together the day before and we set ourselves some goals for what we wanted to do." Heng said, "We wanted to place in the top-10 and gain some respect back for the Nebraska cross country program, we all went out and ran with guts… and we succeeded."
Harris was also impressed with how the women's team competed today, noting that even though the women's team did not meet their goal of placing in the top-15, they still had a great race.
"I am happy with our women's results today as well, we beat some teams that we have not beat before so it was really good to see that." Harris said, "While we didn't get ranked in the top-15, it was still a really good way to end the season."
Freshman Anna Peer and senior Isabel Andrade led the way for the NU women's team at the Midwest Regional. Peer finished 69th with a time of 21:50.0, followed by Andrade who placed 70th with a time of 21:51.0.
With the results of the races, both the men's team and the women's team will not be competing at the NCAA Championships next Saturday. With only four seniors on this year's Nebraska cross country team (two men's, two women's) the future is bright for the Huskers.

FORRESTON - Winnebago was caught in a seesaw battle Friday in the Forreston Holiday Tournament championship game.
The Indians and the Sterling Newman Comets offenses were steaming hot throughout, but 'Bago's eventually cooled off down the stretch and Winnebago lost 86-80.
"We couldn't make shots at the end," said Winnebago senior Dalton Menke said, who scored a team-high 20 points.
The Indians tied the game 71-all with 1:55 left in the fourth quarter, but Newman went on a 6-0 run after knocking down attempts at the charity stripe with both teams in the double bonus.
Winnebago didn't score again until DeLundre Dixon made a layup to get within four points, but the team had to play catch up being up against the clock.
Winnebago led 40-37 at halftime, but a 24-20 third quarter, including a buzzer-beating shot from Newman's Trevor Bolin - a desperation attempt that was shot from behind the backboard that hit the bottom of the net ala Larry Bird - gave Newman a 61-60 lead going into the fourth.
AJ Sharp, who finished with a game-high 33 points, hit some key shots and free throws down the stretch to close out the fourth quarter.
Sharp shot 12 of 17 from the free-throw line, including 11 makes in the second half.
"He hit all the free throws that he could," Menke said. "To make all those, he's a heck of a player."
Foul trouble was key for both teams, but significantly hurt Winnebago. Isaiah Yanni fouled out halfway through the fourth quarter with 'Bago trailing, 67-65.
"We had a few guys in foul trouble, too," Winnebago coach Joe Murphy said. "You get those guys in foul trouble and you have to sit them and it hurts your rotation.
"It hurt, but give Sterling Newman credit, they did the job."
Dixon finished with 18 points for the Indians, while Ryan Swigart scored 14.
Polo takes third
AJ Dollmeyer gave Aquin's defense fits.
Polo's perimeter defense and in the post made the Bulldogs offense stutter at times.
Both factors helped Polo start fast and finish strong in a 77-59 win in the Forreston Holiday Tournament third-place game.
"We were able to run them off of their shots and made them think twice about shooting," said Dollmeyer, who finished with a game-high 23 points and 15 rebounds. "That got them rattled and we got out running and scored in transition."
Polo jumped out to an 18-4 run in the first quarter, as Brian Cavanaugh (14 points, two 3-pointers), Brad Cavanaugh (10 points, two steals) and Dollmeyer contributed.
"We caught Aquin a little flat and our guard were able to jump those passing lanes," Polo coach Matt Messer said. "We got easy buckets in transition, which helps build your confidence and makes you want to play defense even more."
When Aquin did stop Polo in transition, the team fed Dollmeyer the ball in the paint. The 6-foot-7 senior forward saw double teams at times, but still managed to get baskets. He scored 16 points in the first half as Polo led 40-29 at halftime.
"We got some screens and on the switch things got messed up for them," Dollmeyer said. "That allowed me to get open. Then if they still doubled, I was able to find the open man."
Brian Cavanaugh scored nine second-half points, including a handful in transition, which allowed Polo to extend its lead to 20 points in the third quarter.
Aquin's Andrew Martin scored a team-high 17 points, while Aiden Chang scored 10, including eight in the second half. The Bulldogs, which picked up their second straight loss, was forced to foul on defense and had four players in foul trouble as a result.
Rian Borgmann fouled out, while Martin and Krisean Coffee (eight points) had four Friday.
Genoa-Kingston 98, North Boone 89: The Cogs inched their way past North Boone in a shootout, never outscoring the Vikings by more than five in a quarter, but still winning by double figures. Tommy Lucca scored 24 points and Danny Hansen tallied 21 points for G-K, while North Boone's Griffin Schuster led his team with 23 points.
Winnebago 50, Christian Life 41: The Indians had four girls score 10 points, and they were able to outduel Christian Life and its leading scorer Linzy Keller, who finished with 17 points. Caley Niday, Morgan Burkhart, Gracie Caltagerone and Maddy Williams all scored an even 10 in the win.

"These are exciting times to be bald!" said Anastasia Mathews, coordinator of the Third Annual St. Baldrick's event scheduled to take place on Friday, April 5. She, alongside her brother, Stephen Mathews, will have her head shaved (for the third time in her young life) to raise money and awareness for children with cancer.
"These are exciting times to be bald!" said Anastasia Mathews, coordinator of the Third Annual St. Baldrick's event scheduled to take place on Friday, April 5. She, alongside her brother, Stephen Mathews, will have her head shaved (for the third time in her young life) to raise money and awareness for children with cancer.
The last two years' events have been very successful because of some really amazing people! This year is no exception. Already, the "shavees" of this event have raised $7,605. So far there are 56 people signed up to be shavees, which is more than double the number since the first year (2011). There are seven teams formed. Some really fun dynamics are involved in this event.
This year, a husband and wife are each team captains for their own teams. Tina Fraker's team, Crowley County Correctional Facility, has raised $2,250 to date. Her husband, Vincent Fraker, is the team captain for the LJ Police Dept. (even another reason to thank our local police), and his team has raised $1,385. Tina's team is scheduled to be the first "satellite site" of this event. Team members will be shaved at the correctional facility on Tuesday, April 2.
Dr. Jason Morgenson is returning as a third time shavee this year. There was a chance he wasn't going to be in town for this year's event, and what a great surprise it was to see his name on the list of shavees!
Another highlight is the Lewis Bolt and Nut team, which has raised $1,450. This is the second year Joe Ayala has headed up this team. You should take the time to look at the team picture taken last year, now posted on their St. Baldrick's page for this year. Thank you, Joe and the Lewis Nut and Bolt team.
Anastasia wishes to thank everyone who is participating in this event and everyone who has made a donation to a shavee.
If you would like to check out the other teams and shavees, go to StBaldricks.org. If you would like more information or would like to make a food donation for this event, call 384-8084 and leave a message for Anastasia.
What: Third Annual St. Baldrick's Event
When: 6 p.m. Friday
Where: Arkansas Valley Regional Medical Center, education rooms Come in the back of the hospital, emergency entrance road around the building.
Why: Enjoy the fun of watching people get their heads shaved for a good cause.
A testimonial by Joe Ayala, whose goal was $1,000 but has already raised $1,275.
This is my second year doing St. Baldrick's, and I hope to make it one to remember. I have been growing my hair out since late July to get ready for this event. This hair drives me crazy at times but I hope it helps me to raise more money than I did last year. Childhood cancer is a problem that hits very close to home with me. When I was a child I lost a great friend to cancer. Sometimes we don't realize how precious life is and how special some people are. We hear about heroes all the time in comic books, cartoons and movies. As I got older I realized I grew up with a real-life hero in everything he did and all the strength he showed. We were so young but he was strong. I know that if he was here today he would be successful at whatever he chose to do because he was that kind of person. I wish there were more ways to fight his cancer back then, more options. My goal is to help raise money so kids like him all around the world get the chance to fight back against this disease and have a different outcome. You will always be my hero, Matt Nicklos, and I hope to inspire others the way you inspired me.

I am relatively new to the sport, and was turned on to Automags by members of Southwest Voodoo and now shoot an x-mag. For the past 2 years I have been hearing stories from the likes of Crash from Bad Karma, and Preacher from Evil inc about you and AGD, and have to say that I am sorry to see you go.
Like Bunkerhugger and Caffiend, I am planning on attending this years Shatnerball. I hope that you will be there so that I may have the chance to meet one of the builders of a sport I have come to enjoy so much.
I wish you the best in your future, and hope that AGD will remain the foundation of paintball that it has been in the past.

Summer is when most women and girls' feet look their best and their toes have some color on them, and for years, red was THE color. But recently you may have seen an unusual color highlighting local toes – teal blue.
Just as pink is THE color to remind the world about breast cancer awareness, now, the color teal is trying to do the same for ovarian cancer.
As many in the community know, my friend, water quality advocate and city commissioner Sue Colson was diagnosed with ovarian cancer right before Christmas last year. Luckily, despite it being Stage 4, her "numbers" (cancer markers) keep dropping, most recently down to 13. She had a skilled surgeon and receive top care at Shands, where ironically, she also works as a nurse for female cancer patients.
Recently, I noticed she was sporting some pretty bright nail polish - accented by rhinestone encrusted flip-flops and an ankle bracelet. Eye-popping is one way to describe it. I didn't question why teal, because it is best to not question Sue about some things…..but, I digress.
A couple days later, she explained it anyway. It is to draw attention to the issue of (not only her feet) but also to the "silent killer," known as ovarian cancer. As it turned out, not even her doctor knew about the significance of teal toes until Sue gave her a card on the subject.
Why teal? According to the website: tealtoes.org, first, it just makes your toes look pretty; second, teal is striking enough to make people notice and hopefully ask about it. Third, September is, in many parts of the country, the time for one last pedicure before putting on the snow shoes, so why not paint them teal, since September is also Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month?
The website explains further:
"Too many women with ovarian cancer do not get diagnosed until their cancer has spread. Approximately 75 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage after the cancer has spread beyond the ovary. Their survival rate is 45%.
The survival rate improves greatly - to 93 percent - if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage before it has spread. But, only 19 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at this local stage."
Ovarian cancer has been dubbed "the silent killer" because it has few symptoms until it is very advanced and many of those symptoms can be confused with other ailments, such as irritable bowel syndrome or indigestion. However, 95 percent of women had symptoms and 90 percent experienced symptoms even with early stage cancer. The trick is: knowing what to be aware of.
According to the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, bloating or a swollen abdomen, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency), a sense of pelvic heaviness and unexplained weight gain or loss are some of the symptoms.
In Sue's case, she had swelling in her abdomen and recurring bladder issues because the tumor was pressing down on her bladder. She was treated a couple times for bladder infections, but that really just delayed the ultimate diagnosis of cancer. When she kept not feeling like herself and came off a nursing shift where she had cared for an ovarian cancer patient. Hearing about the symptoms the woman suffered from, she realized that she needed to direct her doctor to rule it either in, or out.
There is a blood test called the CA 125, that can help diagnose the illness, but only if the woman is presenting symptoms, or doctors can conduct a sonogram or CT or PET scans or MRIs. Treatment, if begun early enough can save a life. Generally, surgery is required to remove as much of the tumors as possible, with chemotherapy or radiation therapy, begun as soon as possible.
Don't ignore the symptoms and don't let the doctor tell you it is all in your head. If caught early enough, three out of four women survive one year after diagnosis and nearly half of women live longer than five years after diagnosis.
Sue probably could have or should have gone to the doctor's sooner and she has been lucky, so far. I had an ovarian cancer scare a few years ago but luckily the pain and the spot they found with the sonogram and MRI, disappeared on its own and has not recurred.
You might not be so lucky. For more information, go to tealtoes.org, cancer.gov or ovariancancer.org

PITTSBURGH — For all of their carelessness the Eagles had the Pittsburgh Steelers right where they wanted them Sunday.
It was third-and-12 deep in Ben Roethlisberger's territory at suddenly quiet, totally waterlogged Heinz Field.
Win the get-off down, win the game. Not too much to ask of statistically one of the top third-down defenses in the league.
Only Roethlisberger converted, throwing a bullet into a seam created by rookies Mychal Kendricks and Brandon Boykin. As fate would have it Antonio "The Candy Bar Caller" Brown caught the 20-yard pass signaling the beginning of the end.
Four minutes, 35 seconds later, head coach Andy Reid, turnover-plagued quarterback Michael Vick and the rest of the Eagles prayed for a block or a miss by kicker Shaun Suisham.
Nothing doing; Suisham swished a 34-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Steelers to a 16-14 triumph. It figures the effort on the block was a little weak for one veteran who thought the Eagles were in the right position to pull it off.
"We fought to the end, but we were a dollar short," defensive end Trent Cole said. "It's a game that we just gave away. That's it, pretty much."
The giveaway left the Eagles with a 3-2 record, the price to be paid for scoring too few points and playing too many games close to the vest.
There were more questions about Vick, who fumbled three times, lost two and put Reid in an uncomfortable position.
"He didn't want to come in and fumble the ball," Reid said. "That's not what he did. He tried to make plays and they hit the ball and knocked it out of his hands."
Whatever the case, the reality is Vick has 11 of the Eagles' league-high 14 turnovers. Sooner or later the defense was going to break instead of bending. So it was Sunday on that third-and-12 at the 18-yard line of the Steelers. It was too much pressure on a defense that spent too much time on the field.
"We didn't get the stop at the end and we put ourselves in bad positions at the beginning," wide receiver Jason Avant said. "Those couple turnovers, you can't do it because you never know what the end of the game is going to be like. If we had one more possession, you never know what can happen. We didn't get that possession."
The Eagles were ready to celebrate their fourth fourth-quarter comeback victory after Vick marched them 79 yards in 17 plays and 8-minutes, 27-seconds. Fans were eying the clock with 6:33 left when tight end Brent Celek caught a 2-yard scoring pass giving the Eagles a 14-13 lead.
The drive featured a lost replay challenge by Reid on a third-down spot. On fourth-and-inches at his 30-yard line, Big Red told LeSean McCoy to get the first down. McCoy obliged.
It was an endorsement of McCoy and his Pro Bowl skills and the Eagle defense that had given up just 92 yards to that point in the second half. McCoy converted another fourth-and-one on the march only at the 47 of the Steelers. DeSean Jackson caught a 24-yard pass at the 10. Clay Harbor got eight yards on a tight end screen to set up Celek.
"I wanted to win the game," Reid said of the fourth-down decisions. "You're in a tough place to win football games. Their home record here is unbelievable. We had the ball in our hands and I wanted to take care of it and score. That's what we did."
The last six-minutes-and-change weren't so clear-cut for the Eagles, who set themselves up for failure falling behind 10-0 at the half. They've been outscored 47-24 in first halves this season.
"I definitely think the first half set us up in a bad position being down 10-0 going into halftime," Jackson said. "But I think we did a great job in the second half of just showing intensity in how we played.
"They were the better team today. And they got us."
Vick lost two first-half fumbles, one sailing toward the goal line on a quarterback draw in the opening frame. Ryan Clark stripped the ball, Larry Foote recovered and the Eagles got zero points.
Vick lost the ball again in the second quarter being tackled around the waist by Lawrence Timmons.
"I wish I could take back the fumble on the goal line but I can't," Vick said. "Ultimately we put ourselves in a position to win this game but we didn't win. That's how it goes in the NFL."
It didn't go well, or play well in the Eagles' locker room. Players chose their words carefully lest they be construed as offense versus defense retorts. There is plenty of season left for that.
There was universal agreement about one thing — the Eagles blew it. If they don't reach the playoffs or get home-field advantage in the postseason, they can point to this game as the reason.
"You're not going to win every week," defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins said. "But when you have opportunities like that you can't let them slip away. And that's an opportunity we let go.

The 101-year-old luxury yacht Isla Morada has been upgraded with new navigation equipment, improved safety features and the barrels of rum have been moved out of the bedrooms.
That's where Al Capone kept them when smuggling rum from Cuba to the Florida Keys on its way to his Chicago speakeasies.
Capone also used the bedrooms while hosting elaborate parties aboard his 96-metre-long Isla Morada with its luxury features and finishes. You too can lounge amidst that same luxury, sipping rum as you cruise through the Panama Canal.
Isla Morada is one of three vessels used by Canal and Bay Tours to conduct public tours of the awe-inspiring Panama Canal. For a mere $1,800 you can transit the canal in a cruise ship with 2,200 other passengers; or you could run off to sea and view the Panama Canal from a freighter's deck, but that's a lonely life.
A more interesting option that only costs $165 U.S. lets you lounge on Capone's yacht for an eight-hour cruise through the canal where you will hear the story of how this engineering marvel was created.
After completing the Suez Canal in 1869, France was inspired to tackle the narrow isthmus connecting North and South America to build a canal that had been talked about since 1815.
The French effort was a disaster, mostly because because of mosquitoes. More than 22,000 workers died of yellow fever and malaria. The French didn't know how to fight those diseases, plus they believed they could dig a sea-level canal, similar to the Suez, despite the 110-metre-high land bridge between the two oceans.
U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt persuaded Congress in 1903 to buy out the bankrupt French effort for $40 million and then, backed by gunboat diplomacy, he persuaded Panama rebels to revolt from Columbia's jurisdiction and create their own new country. To thank the U.S. for supporting its revolution the new nation of Panama allowed the U.S. to build and own a canal through their country.
U.S. engineers used the massive excavations the French left behind, but knew that the canal also required traditional lift locks to carry vessels up and over Panama's high, rocky spine.
Guides on the The Isla Morada tour point out the many engineering challenges along the canal, including the steep Gaillard Cut through a mountain where avalanches killed many men.
The Isla Morada is actually older than the canal. Its wooden hull was crafted in a New England ship yard in 1912 when the vessel was christened Santana. The first ship passed through the canal in August 1914.
Capone bought the Santana in the 1920s during the prohibition era and changed its name to one of his favourite islands in the Florida keys.
The U.S. Government wouldn't permit Capone to sail Isla Morada to another island where he took up residence – Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay. He involuntarily moved there in 1931 after being convicted of income tax evasion.
His yacht was seized and drafted into the U.S. Navy where it served as an officer training vessel during World War ll.
In the 1960s, it arrived in Panama City as a floating boutique hotel, thanks to the five luxury bedrooms Capone had crafted.
Since then, the Isla Morada has transited the Panama Canal more than any other vessel afloat. The cruise is an eight-hour tutorial about one of the world's most challenging engineering feats.
Today, 270 ship pass through the 48-kilometre-long canal each week and dozens sit at anchor at both ends waiting their turn. A fully-loaded freighter carrying 4,400 shipping containers pays about $320,000 for a one-way transit. Big cruise ships pay close to $350,000 one way.
To eliminate the Panama bottleneck and to accommodate larger ships, a massive $5.8 billion construction project is underway to double its capacity and a Toronto native Bill O'Neill heads up the construction consortium responsible for that expansion.
You can see the expansion construction during the The Isla Morada tour. You'll also hear what a significant increase in ship traffic the canal's expansion will mean to Montreal, Halifax and other east coast ports.

I need your help on how to safe to remove and install splined shaft without damage any part or mess up with timing chain. I do not have any Camshaft Timing Set tools.
I appreciate your help!
Ithink ours is way to far out of warranty for that. still investigating the 'Vanos" thing, not sure what all the Symptoms are. But it is always nice when the dealers treat you like they should!, and I will remember to bring the donuts next time I have to go in for service..hehehe
thanks, Missy
OK, swapped out #5 coil (showing misfire) with #2 coil test drove and "happened" to stop by the local import service shop and the nice guys did a total wipe on the codes for me. on the way home drove it hard, and code p1345 popped up (P1345Misfire Cylinder 2 With Fuel Cut-off) so it moved with the coil. hopefully changing the coils fixes our problems ***fingers crossed***
my dealer replaced entire vanos unit under a sort of good will warranty , car was two years out of warranty. Treated like CPO charged me $50 and provided a loaner. Of course the problem will comeback again as the replacement vanos unit has same part number and has not changed.Bringing donuts during any service appointment always pays.
OK guys.... A little help here... Please. We have a 2001 330i, we love it to death! but we have been doing a LOT of DIY on it lately(past 3 years)!! about a month ago SES came on finally got around yesterday to putting code reader on it.. shows code p1351 changed out ALL spark plugs, going out in a few minutes to swap out coil #5 with another and reset code then drive it again. code ALWAYS pops when you get on it hard, say for instance when you are going to pass another car. it has also been acting a different under cold conditions also (she doesn't like Georgia to well,neither do I, just moved here from California in July) Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Re: Seals solution
I am new to this forum and have to say that I'm thrilled that I might have found a resolution to my cold start hesitation and stalling problem (2000 e39). I've been looking into this on and off for 8 years. I will test tomorrow.
Does anyone know of a Los Angeles, CA mechanic that has done this before? And other than the cost of the seals, do you know how much the repair costs?
Thanks for you help.

Re: 6-cyl double vanos problem assessment
I have a 325i M54 engine.
I had a slight rattle between 3k RPM. Was planning to change the o rings as outlined in Beisan Systems 6-cylinder Double Vanos Procedure (E46, E39) but know a very long knocking from the vanos.
The engine management light is up , but i need to read the error code.
Can the bearings in the vanos and / or splined shafts (cups) attached to pistons fail ?
Has anybody else had such a problem ?
Any help would be appreciated.
