Megan was such a good traveler. She loved going on long rides!
What a pretty girl she was! And you've really shown her off well with this layout. Love the cluster.
What a precious baby! This is a lovely layout to showcase her beauty.
She was a beautiful dog. I love how you scrapped her photo.
Beautiful colors for a beautiful dog. I am sure you miss that sweet face.
What a beautiful dog Megan was. The layout is just beautiful and a lovely tribute to her.

Hey everyone, I am wanting to add some power to my 2.3 and I don't necessarily want to take the common way out and drop in a V8. Beeen looking around and a factory turbo motor is pretty difficult to find. My question is, has anyone taken a factory 8 plug 2.3 and made it into a turbo? I plan to rebuild the motor at some point regardless, so swapping to forged internals isn't a big deal. I've tried to contact stinger performance to see what and how they recommend I do it, but they were less than helpful. The only answer I got was to find a factory turbo coup motor and do a swap. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I'm afraid you may get a similar answer on this board as well. Dollar and time wise, it's simply not worth the work. Is it possible? Sure, but you'll also be looking at a stand alone management system as well as the gorged internals and head work needed. I'm running a turbo swap in my '89 right now and love it. If you're set on doing it the hard way, you've got your work cut out for you. That being said, it would be unique. Either way, turbos rock!
There really isn't much difference between the turbo engine and the N/A engine. Pistons are forged in the Turbo and the engine is lower compression. You could rebuild the N/A engine to support a turbo, but it isn't really recommended because it will be more costly. Keep looking and find an old turbo coupe. Having a running car to pull parts out of makes it much easier because you don't get nickel and dimed for the odds and ends.
It's been done, it's just more difficult to do it that way. The only REAL difference between a turbo engine and n/a, is the turbo engine has dished forged pistons, and a tapped return in the block for the turbo oil drain. What's sad is that I have two turbo engines (one mostly complete, one just a long block, both need rebuilt) sitting at my grandma's house that I tried to practically give away for 2 years and nobody would take them. Now they're just sitting there until one of my brothers gets them to take in for scrap.
Wow. Scrapping those would be terrible. Wish I could come get them from you. Running out of funds on my current build though. I am thinking about doing a simple port, polish, and custom cam on my stock motor for now. Turbo build will have to wait until later. Waiting to hear back from shops for prices though. We shall see.
I don't want to scrap them, but my grandma doesn't want them at her house. Problem is that they're 45 minutes away from where I live, I have nothing to haul them in, nowhere to keep them at my house, I'd have to get my brother to help me load them even if somebody did buy them, and I'd have to coordinate everything to make a sale happen. I've had two different people tell me they were definitely coming to get them and never did, so I gave up.
If only you weren't on the opposite side of the country. I just got a '72 Pinto with the intent to do a 2.3 swap. Yes, people have turbocharged DP 2.3s. Put 2.3T pistons and super alloy exhaust valves in one and you essentially have a 2.3 long block minus the cracked head. Would it be more expensive than a 2.3T swap? I think it's debatable and dependent on what parts either engine needs to be replaced. A totally complete and good running 2.3T will be cheaper, but IMO, not so much one that needs a rebuild.
I didn't know you still had those motors! The one was in good running order and the other was built, no?
This really depends on the motor. If you have an older 4 plug head, then you have to modify the combustion chamber shape from its heart shape to more like a D shape like the turbo heads. Then you use the proper forged pistons. The rods may already be forged depending on the year, must '94 and older motors will have forged rods. If the motor does not have forged rods, you need to obtain some. Once you have the proper pistons, and the right shape combustion chamber, you have to decide how you are gonna tune it. you are also going to want to use the turbo sized injectors, either #30 or #36 or larger. You have several available options, which vary by year. If you have a '95 or older, you can either swap in a stock turbo computer, and turbo wiring harness or repine your stock harness. You need to install the VAM that matches the computer you choose. Or you can retune the stock computer using something like a quarterhorse. This is not a user friendly option to those that are unacquainted with tuning. Or you can use a plug and play aftermarket computer like PIMP. I personally like the PIMP option because it eliminates the restrictive stock VAM and opens up a lot of custom modding options, and it is easier to tune in my opinion. Of you have an OBD-II system, they are easier to retune and can be done with something like an Xcal3. You need a larger MAF because the stock one won't handle boost well. The Lightning MAF is a good option. You can still use an aftermarket computer, but they are not (yet) plug and play, but instead have to either be spliced to the the stock harness, use a custom harness, or use some kind of adapter board. But again, I think they are easier to tune, and they can support some features a reprogrammed stock computer can't do. You can use Megasquirt or AEM, and there are other options too. I like Megasquirt because of the community support and relatively low cost. Is it worth it as opposed to swapping in a turbo motor? Depends on what you have to start with. On a DP (8 plug) setup, you can use the stock head unmodified, use a turbo computer and a VAM. the turbo injectors, and do some minor rewiring, and it supposedly works well. But the whole motor swap is pretty easy too, and if one is readily available, I think is probably both cheaper and less involved. If you had a Ranger, it may be a different story though. The Ranger uses different accessory placement, and there are interference issues with a whole motor swap, so many Ranger enthusiast encourage swapping internals instead of swapping motors.

Look what I woke up to this morning!
So, this morning at 5:30 my apartment doorbell starting ringing. When I went outside, my next door neighbor told me that my girlfriend's Jeep just tried to drive through her porch.
Turns out a Mitsubishi Eclipse's e-brake had failed and it rolled about 50 yards down a hill, ran into the back of the Jeep, which pushed it over two parking curbs and a drop off at the edge of the parking lot and rested teetering on a concrete wall and our neighbor's porch. Needless to say that it has been an interesting day. I found damage to the grill, hood, tailgate, tire carrier and step bars. The kicker is that it was resting on the oil pan on that concrete wall and it was kinda flattened out and the front of the trans bellhousing was a little scuffed up. It's now at the shop and were waiting to hear back from the Eclipse's insurance company as to weather or not they will want to repair it or not. First time that I have tried to post any pictures. Let me know if they don't go through. [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../jeepporch.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...3/IMG_0150.jpg[/IMG] |
WOW! what a way to wake up!!!
TJ gets owned by an eclipse? NEVER thought I'd see it.
So lucky the owner of the Eclipse didn't wake up before your neighbor and just drive off leaving you guys holding the bag.
That sucks. I hope she gets it fixed up. I remember years ago there was a bunch of punks in MD breaking into Jeeps to release the parking brakes. One Jeep rolled down a hill and collapsed a wall at an apartment killing the woman sleeping on the other side. They caught the people responsible.

Wow! Good thing that porch was there, and you had the step bars on or else it might have been worse. It sounds like the oil pan & step bars took most of the impact from the drop. Hopefully the guys insurance pays for the damage.
I would expect nothing but the owner of the Eclipse to cover the damages. Hope ya don't have to fight for your money.

How come her Jeep seemed to travel so far from the Eclipse? Is her's a stick? Just curious..good luck.
Thats is quite a picture u got there. Wow
How on earth? I just can't see how the car had enough energy to push the jeep. Good luck with the insurance co. They are stingy.
pics of girlfriend
wow, that car must of been moving hard to do that
HOLY CRAP!!! that sucks. Good luck with all the BS red tape.
I dont think ive ever seen anything like this! Hopfully insurance pulls through!
Hey guys,
I didn't get a picture of the hill, but it was very steep. I think the car could have picked up quite a lot of momentum considering the distance it traveled. Also, her emergency brake was engaged, but it wasn't in gear. I'm getting a little bit of a I told you so out of this because I always tell her to leave it in gear, but she usually doesn't when she parks up against a parking curb. The Eclipse's insurance is with State Farm and so far, they have been very helpful and cooperative. They have even already gotten her a rental car. We've been in touch with the shop that the Jeep is at and they should be through with their estimated quote today. According to the woman at their front office, if the repair is going to be over 60% of the total NADA value of the vehicle, State Farm will most likely want to salvage it. The woman then told us that she wasn't allowed by the insurance company to use the word "totaled", but we shouldn't be waiting on good news. This doesn't sit right with me for several reasons, but the main one is the NADA value is roughly $6,300. If I go onto the Atlanta craigslist and search 1997 Wrangler, there are only 2 that are at or below this price out of the 25 results. Furthermore, both of those are SE 4 cylinders that are in nowhere near as good condition as her Sport 6 cylinder with A/C and a custom paint job. So, negotiations may get hot on this one. I've heard of folks negotiating being able to keep the vehicle before it gets a "salvage" title and I would like to do this if it's possible, but we will see. Here is a picture of her winning a "Most Unique" award at a local car show only 2 weeks ago. She is very proud of Jeep and is not enjoying her Chevy Malibu rental car at all. Please keep your comments tasteful. [IMG]http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2.../IMG_01311.jpg[/IMG] |

Mayhem at it again!
Use this picture and that trophy in negotiations. I am sure a good lawyer (if necessary) could get an increased value for sentimental reasons and your girl will now have emotional damage. Just discuss with them that you are considering a lawyer and watch the value jump. Negotiate with State Farm. Depending on state law, your girlfriend may be entitled to replacement value not KBB. Another idea would be to make them write her a check for replacement value and your girl friend keeps the damaged Wrangler. The other driver was at fault. Her insurance pays so she is not inconvenienced. |
I have state farm. Always have, always will. They are awesome.
Nice looking Jeep and girlfriend- and her dress matches perfectly. Good luck with the repairs.
and after all of that, no jeeper offered to pull you out? I am quite shocked. ;)
lucky thing that the jeep didn't go crashing through the wall. best wishes! |
My niece that is 5 can NOT see this. I have two black 97 Jeeps and she thinks she owns them and her favorite color is pink!!!! She has her pink car seat in the back and that is enough pink in the Jeep. Nice looking Jeep. Hope things go well for your girl friend.
Bummer man, hope it gets sorted out for you.
Dude I see that Jeep all the time....Live down the street from ya. Sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out....if ya need any help...pm |

Just wait until you have USAA. |
I was concerned until I read that it was your girlfriends jeep. That sucks though, just goes to show how anything can happen. Maybe a good excuse to armor up the jeep!
hey n00g7, my daughter just got USAA insurance; are you saying it's good or bad?
Nobody has mentioned the fact that YOUR insurance company should be handling this situation. (I only assume that you're smart enough to have insurance?). Go to YOUR insurance company and get them involved. It's their responsibility to represent you. After all ... you ARE their client and policyholder. A layman negotiating with a professional is always going to be a losing deal. Make your insurance company do their job! |

About half way home from work I came across about seven wild turkeys just off the main road through Grey Whale ranch. I just happened to have my camera with me so I took a coupe of shots. Too bad my camera does not have a really good zoom.......actually it has a really bad zoom. I guess that's what you get when you buy a camera at a drug store.

Anytime two or more people come together to work on a project, there's a risk of misunderstanding. This could happen within a project team or between a freelancer and client or boss and employee. Quickly diagnosing and curing your communication issues can empower you to consistently deliver or receive on-time, on-point results that leave everyone delighted instead of disappointed.
To help you maximize your efficiency and effectiveness on your project teams, I've outlined three common communication challenges and some solutions to avoid or fix the issues.
Diagnosing a Communication Challenge
Sometimes something seems "off" in your collaboration, but you have trouble pinpointing exactly what's bothering you. Before you determine a fix, you have to self-diagnose your situation. Below are three of the most common communication challenges. Also, it's important to note that you may have different challenges with different people and/or as a project progresses, the communication challenges you face with someone may change.
Radio Silence: Too little communication that causes anxiety
Your communication challenge may fall into this bucket if you feel like your initial discussions were rushed. You don't receive status updates frequently enough. You find yourself worrying or wondering about the project often. Potential problems don't come out until it's too late to easily solve them.
Constant Pings: Too much communication that leads to annoyance
On the opposite end of the spectrum, over-communication can also lead to stress. This occurs when you have endless meetings to discuss the project but little to no movement on actual execution. It can also happen when you find yourself fielding a continuous stream of questions, sorting through irrelevant information, and hearing about even the most minor of issues—that you aren't even responsible for solving.
Disconnect: Miscommunication that creates frustration
Sometimes you have the right frequency and quantity of communication but there's a lack of mutual understanding. Maybe you think that you know what other people want but when you show them what you've been working on, they're disappointed. Other times you thought you had answered someone's question but they're still confused. Or worse yet, you both end up doing the same work or parts of the project get dropped because you thought they thought one thing and they thought you thought something else.
The 4 Communication Solutions
Although the communication challenges vary, the fundamental steps to solve them remain the same. To set yourself up for success on a new project or try to salvage one that's veering off course, try these strategies:
1. Act fast
If you feel uncomfortable about the communication, don't wait, hope for the best, or ignore it. Take action. Telling yourself, "I'll deal with it later" only increases the chances of flared tempers and misunderstood expectations. Confront the issue. That could mean deciding not to proceed with a partnership because severe communication differences will cause inefficiency and stress. Or in the midst of a project it could mean setting up a conversation to work through next steps.
2. Clarify deliverables
A sure way to set both sides up for confusion and disappointment is to not know what you want, when you want it, and how you expect it to be delivered. If you don't know the definition of "done," pow-wow to determine it. You should get down to this level of granularity: "On August 10, we will have a landing page launched for the public, which includes a video of the founders and a newsletter sign up form."
3. Set (or reset) expectations
Each individual has a natural communication style, but to work effectively within a team, you need to determine how much communication needs to happen to make everyone comfortable. This could mean requesting weekly status meetings or progress reports at certain milestones. Or it could look like setting up a series of "If, Then" communication triggers.
For example: "If you will be out of the office for a week, then give me a status report a couple of days before you leave." Or, "If you encounter an issue that will lead to a delay, then notify me as soon as possible." You can also ask for people to not communicate with you about certain things. For example: "Please, don't CC me on every e-mail between you and the printer." Or, "Please don't tell me about issues if they're problems you can fix yourself."
4. Try a different method
Some people communicate brilliantly over the phone but jumble everything up by e-mail. Others do great with sketches but never understand your written descriptions. When in doubt, try a different format: write it out, talk through it, draw sketches, give examples, or do whatever you can to make the concepts in your head translate into something the other person can understand and vice versa.
If you've tried all of the above strategies and neither side feels satisfied, it could be time to part ways instead of continuing to feel frustrated with one another. Communication forms the glue of professional partnerships so without it, they can't stick.
How about you?
What do you do when you don't understand or aren't understood?

Favorite Things #22 - Ice Cream Attachment for Kitchenaid Mixer
Thanks to my brother I have an awesome Kitchenaid stand mixer. Thanks to my husband I have an awesome ice cream making attachment for it. I finally gave it a try this past weekend because it was 106 in Arizona! I made a strawberry buttermilk ice cream and it turned out so creamy and delicious. The strawberries were so fresh and full of flavor.
It runs quietly and the ice cream was done in about a half an hour, I am in love and want to make a ton of flavors.
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

Isn't this a clever thing. I have a kitchenaid but I also have a flip the switch ice cream maker that I don't have to remember to freeze the bowl. Nothing is more frustrating than deciding it's time to make the ice cream that's chilling in the fridge only to realize someone (me) forgot to freeze the bowl.
ReplyDeleteWell you have convinced me. I have had that kitchenaid mixer ice cream maker attachment on my amazon wishlist for years! But I was never quite sure if it was worth it, and I never knew of anyone who had one that could tell me how awesome it was. I have to have it now. Just like another of your posts compelled me to finally order the microplane on my wishlist and I use that thing almost daily. Amazon owes you a giftcard at least!

Lot 346: GOTO STYLE KOZUKA MIT THREE RABBITS AND MOON
Fine Asian Art
by Galerie Zacke Vienna
19 November 2016
Vienna, Vienna, Austria
Live Auction
Shakudo, silver and gilding. Japan, 19th century
Kozuka in the Goto style bearing a nanako ground inlaid with three rabbits, two of them in gilt takozogan, the third is shakudo. The front rabbit is shown running against the moon. In Japan the rabbit and the moon are closely related - the "moon rabbit" that is often portrayed as a companion of the moon Goddess and pounding the ingredients for rice cake mochi that popularly stands for the "full-moon". Gilt raise margin and gilt over the entire reverse, with uchu engraving.
From the collection of Dr. Karl Florenz (1865-1939)
Dr. Karl Florenz was a renowned scholar, university professor and considered a pioneer of German Japanese studies. He resided in Japan from 1888 until the beginning of the First World War and then continued his lectures at the Hamburg Colonial Institute, never returning to Japan again. Famed for having translated several important Japanese books including the Nihongi, Japan's oldest official history text, he was awarded the Japanese doctor title in literature. His extensive collection was largely destroyed by air strikes in the Second World War (which he himself did not live to witness), however, most tsuba etc. survived in relatively good condition. Dr. Florenz primarily collected tsubas dating to the 18th cent. and quite evidently made an effort to explore a wide range of motifs.

Refrig Freezer Defrost Fails - Ice Build-UP
Model Number: TBX18AKE Brand: GE Age: More than 10 years
Hi, My GE refrigerator defrost fails to function causing the cooling coils to develop ice. This happened before when the unit was about seven years old. I replaced the Defrost Thermostat and it resolved the issue. I suspect the same issue this time. While I'm waiting for the new Defrost Thermostat to arrive, I removed the suspected failed defrost thermostat to see if I could get the unit to defrost. I tried both conditions: 1. left the circuit open (thermostat removed) and 2. closed the circuit (shorted the connecting leads) to see if I could validate the thermostat issue. The unit appears to develop frost in either condition which causes me to suspect that there might be another issue causing the unit to fail to defrost. Also, the ice maker stopped making ice. I suspect the two issues are related. Does anyone have any suggestions? Regards Related Models Last edited by tjg79 : 04-28-2013 at 12:45 PM. |
See inside of your appliance - diagrams and part photos for virtually every model. powered by AppliancePartsPros.com |
Prior to order any replacement parts you have to test them to save time and money. There are only two defrost parts (defrost thermostat and defrost heater) in the freezer and it is pretty simple to test them for continuity using a simple multimeter like the following: - the multimeter Part number: AP5641751 or any other of your choice. The following article on our forum will explain in detail how to run a continuity test using either an analog meter or a digital meter - How To Check Continuity With Ohmmeter - The defrost heater Part number: AP2071483 - The defrost thermostat Part number: AP2071242 If both of the above parts are good, replace the defrost timer. - The defrost timer Part number: AP2061708 Gene.

Thank you Gene,
I know the heater works. I removed the defrost thermostat and shorted the leads. The heater was working. I checked the defrost thermostat with a multimeter and it was open (no continuity) after it was removed. I placed it on ice and it checked out as having continuity at about 6 ohms resistance. It appears to me that the thermostat may be good as well as the heater. Because one lead from the defrost thermostat connects to the plug for the ice maker and the fact that the ice maker is not making ice, I suspect the problem may be an ice maker electrical problem. Do you have any diagnostic recommendations to check to further isolate this issue? Regards |
Lets do one thing at a time. The thermostat is probably bad because 6 Ohms reading is incorrect.
Replace the thermostat and we will go from there. Gene.

It will be awhile before I notice any frost build up inside the freezer compartment with the covers installed.
Since one lead from the defrost thermostat goes to the connector for the ice maker, could a fault in the ice maker electrical harness cause the frost build-up? The ice maker is still not functioning. I filled the tray with water and it did rotate out one iteration of ice after about 18 hours. It doesn't seem to be getting any water. I notices that is did cycle once in the last 24 hours, but only produced ice about 15% of the normal size. Does the defrost timer affect the ice maker? Will the refrigerator defrost properly with the ice maker unplugged from the connector to the electrical harness? Status so far: Defrost Heater - I know it heats. Defrost Thermostat - Replaced, original may have been good. Defrost Timer - suspect, new one on order Ice Maker - suspect Water inlet valve - suspect |

Nice. Ya had me there cause I was like :-( what's the first popular phone? Lol
Which color represents the iPhone if it's secound? The black one is the only one in secound place on the far right
The 4s will probably pass the 4. Remember the 4s is young yet.
Not a surprise. And, I agree with thetoothfairy's theory. The iPhone 4S will likely follow the iPhone 4's shoes to become the world's top iPhone. With that, it will replace the crown of the iPhone 4 in photo-taking.
Or as soon as the jailbreak is available.
If the usual pattern continues expect Apples iPhone 4S to overtake the iPhone 4 as it gains market share over the holiday season and the coming months.

Now that you have departed WA, I feel confident enough to take the lock off the wine shed door
The Top End...Litchfield National Park
Trip Start
Apr 05, 2011
Trip End
Nov 15, 2012
Once again the drive from Lake Argyle to Katherine was diverse and interesting. Passing through massive escarpments, their tops littered with gum trees, whilst at the base of their red rock faces Livistona palms sprouted out, their slim trunks stretching skyward, their green fronds contrasting beautifully against the vivid red surface of the rock.
Just outside Timber Creek there were amazing rock formations so different to any we had seen in the area. The rocks were of charcoal colouring and looked to have been painstakingly terraced; the levels were so exacting with thin shrubbery adorning the tiers.
It was late afternoon when we arrived at Katherine delighted to be catching up with Syd and Cheryl again. They had been up to Darwin and were heading back to Torquay and so this was a 'farewell for now' dinner. With our paths having crossed so many times since we first met in Coffin Bay almost six months ago, it was the end of an era!
We had a charming evening dining under the stars and talking long into the evening. The following morning we bid them farewell and as they turned right to head south we turned left and headed north and on with our journey of discovery.
The camp we chose for our time in Litchfield was rustic to say the least. An old mango plantation which now housed an inviting pool (every pool is inviting in this heat!), a few cabins, restaurant, bar and camping/caravan sites out the back. To call them sites is maybe using the term liberally; we only have a small van and struggled to find a spot on the grass between trees. Yet, they had obviously gone to so much trouble and were continuing to do improvements around the property so we were happy to support their business.
As we drove into Litchfield National Park it was clear we were now in the Tropics. Whilst a fire had recently swept through on one side of the road, there was no mistaking the thick green lush vegetation that lined the road, the ferns dominating the landscape.
We stopped in to view the Magnetic Termite Mounds, unlike other termite mounds these are built orientated North – South, thus avoiding extreme heat. Clever little termites! We continued on to Tabletop Swamp however there wasn't much action there, just a large flock of white cockatoos determined to deafen us.
We did our first walk at Tolmer Falls and as we reached the viewing platform we were pleased to see water was still cascading over the edge of the escarpment falling majestically into the pool below. We continued on along a loop track which followed the creek at the top of the falls for a short distance before darting off to pass a fabulous array of Cycads. These ferns looked stunning with the morning sunlight filtering through their fronds turning them such a vibrant green.
As stunning as the scenery was, it was barely nine in the morning and I was already melting… We decided to head straight to a waterhole to cool off. Well, that was our intention, we opted to bypass a couple and head to the furthest swimming area; Walker Creek.
This was paradise… mostly overlooked by day trippers, it contains eight walk in camp sites, all on the banks of the creek. As we traipsed along in the hot sun we passed camp one, two, three, four, five, and then when we came to camp six we were drawn down to the banks of the creek and rewarded with a sensational swimming hole. With a waterfall constantly spilling fresh water into the pool we found it to be so revitalising and what's more we had all to ourselves. It was just nature at its best… here we were swimming in crystal clear water, the only sounds to be heard were of water cascading over the waterfalls and birds chirping.
This was a perfect escape from the heat and a great reward for a hardy walk. We were thrilled when a Water Monitor lizard came over for a drink and we watched it scamper up the waterfall and take a quick dip.
Our next stop was at Cascades. This was a much more interesting walk in than we had expected, passing through monsoon rainforest, balancing on rocks to cross the creek, criss crossing several times. At the end of the so called track it was all hands and feet in motion to grasp surfaces as we crawled across rocks to get into an inviting pool beneath yet another waterfall.
Again we enjoyed the presence of a very striking Water Monitor lizard. Similar in body and gait to a Goanna, however smaller, they have a lovely charcoal skin with off white markings and a brilliant lime green chin. There was only one other family at this waterhole which again made it all the more enjoyable. Our shoulders benefited from a vigorous massage under the cascading water refreshing us for the dreaded trek out.
Wangi Falls was our next stop and by far the most popular; it had huge picnic grounds and a massive swimming hole with two waterfalls spilling into it. It was impressive at this time of the year so it must look spectacular in the wet. Whilst we enjoyed a swim we had been spoilt with the last few stops virtually having them to ourselves and so we continued on after doing a tree top walk.
At Florence Falls it was a short walk to a lookout and then down one hundred and fifty odd stairs to reach the waterhole. Whilst there were quite a few people there it was awesome… surrounded on three sides by rock walls, the waterhole was deep and of a reasonable size. The water was still thundering over the rock face creating an impressive waterfall. It reminded me of an old movie scene with people scampering up rock faces wherever they could get footing and then diving into the pool below; from the sides, from the top of the waterfall, it was sheer mayhem!
As we swam, taking in the chaos around us a heavy shower of rain set in. It was just absolute magic; sitting in this waterhole feeling heavy beads of rain bouncing from us, watching them drop into the water and splash back up, gosh this was good. As the rain subsided, rather than climb back up the mass of stairs we opted for the 'Shady Creek Walk' and were we so glad that we did. Following the creeks edge and crossing it from time to time we were meandering through monsoon rainforest and across savanna woodlands. The scenery was exquisite with dapples of sunlight finding their way through the foliage, butterflies encircling us… Litchfield is simply amazing.
The day was nearing an end and we had one more swimming hole to visit; Buley Waterhole. Whilst we did not have the place to ourselves it was late enough in the day to have cleared some of the crowd and it appeared to be mostly locals taking advantage of the waterhole to cool off. There were many pools, tiered along the creek and so we were once again able to find our own pool and waterfall to relax in recapping what an awesome day we had experienced enjoying nature at its best. Litchfield National Park is well worth a visit… don't forget your togs!
The following day we moved just up the road to a park at Berry Springs which had been recommended by several people along our trip. They have pet crocodiles that live in an enclosure in the centre of the park which we thought rather a novelty! We received a cheerful welcome and then we set off to choose a site and set up. The park probably had about eighty powered campsites if not more and with only ten or so taken we had too many to choose from.
Eventually we settled on a site and set about our normal routine; me guiding Rod in as he maneuvers the van… It was all going well until a snake slithered away from where I had just had my feet, apparently I just abandoned my responsibility and ran! What are the odds… all those sites to choose from and we chose the one with a snake!
Rather than just slither off into the dense bushland that surrounded the park it decided to make its way over to another occupied campsite with a couple of young girls and a small dog. We alerted a park employee and after having a look he went to rally some assistance, never to return! The time ticked by and no one came back, it just got ridiculous. Eventually Rod was left with no choice but to remove the snake which we later identified as a Black Whip snake. Needless to say I was on edge for the remainder of our stay. It wasn't the only sighting either… I was heading over for a shower when I was told another snake had just been seen slithering around near the entrance… back to the van for me!!!
The Territory Wildlife Park was located nearby and having been voted one of the Top End's best attractions we decided we take a look. We arrived just in time for the Whipray feeding. As we were standing along the railing I could have sworn a fish spat at me… Once the demonstration commenced I found I hadn't been imagining it. The Archerfish can clearly see prey – generally insects above the water, they spit at it and the weight of the water drops it down for the fish to scoop up. It was hilarious standing there holding our arms over the water, rubbing our fingers together and having this fish spit a decent volume of water directly at our fingers, never missing.
Rod was lucky enough to go behind the scenes and hand feed the Whiprays. Similar to other breeds of ray, these massive creatures live along river beds. Rod described their back as feeling like sandpaper and their underbelly soft and jelly like. What a great experience!
We worked our way through all their exhibits and took a walk around their Lagoon which is home to a large variety of migratory birds, this area is natural and the birds come and go with the seasons. We were lucky enough to have a Jabiru hovering just in front of the observation deck so we could clearly see its stunning features.
By the time we had covered the park it was mid afternoon and we were feeling the heat so we made our way next door to the Berry Springs Nature Park where we immersed ourselves in one of the lovely swimming holes. It was a pleasant relief from the heat. These natural pools had the most unusual aqua green coloured waters and the banks were shrouded with Mangrove and Pandanus trees. What a splendid way to end the day… it must be time for a sundowner!

The upside of a bad situation
Let me start by saying this: There is no way to spin this as a good thing. CC Sabathia is on the disabled list for the second time this season, and it's an arm injury that he's never experienced in the past. The long-term concern might be minimal, but there's obviously some level of concern about a staff ace experiencing elbow discomfort. Even if he misses only two more starts this season, that's still two more than the Yankees would have liked.
So, no, it's not a good thing that Sabathia is skipping tonight's start and spending the next 11 days on the disabled list.
But that doesn't mean there can't be unwanted and unintended upside. In the name of positive thinking, here are two things to consider as David Phelps prepares to pitch in Sabathia's place for tonight's series opener against the Rangers.
Sabathia could use the break
The Yankees ace hasn't thrown fewer than 230 innings in a season since 2006. Counting the postseason, he's thrown more than 250 innings in four of the past five seasons, and he just barely missed that mark last year. Two weeks off now, plus those two weeks off in early July might leave Sabathia's arm feeling as fresh as he can remember it down the stretch.
"I think it could be good for him just because of what he's had to throw the last five or six years," Joe Girardi said. "I think it could physically be good for him. … I think he understands why (Cashman) did it, but the competitive nature in CC is, 'I can fight through everything,' and that, 'I'm going to perform at a high level.' That's probably what has made him so great. You think about all the innings he's logged in his career, the years that he's given 260 innings — which a lot of guys aren't able to. It's the competitive spirit in him."
Hard to convince Sabathia, though, that there might be a payoff down the stretch.
"We'll see," he said. "I don't want to keep taking two weeks off and saying it's going to pay off down the line. We need to get there first."
Phelps could use the opportunity
Regardless of what happens tonight, David Phelps has emerged this season. He's pitched well enough to suggest he can play a role for the Yankees well into the future, but exactly what role he should play is still a bit of a mystery. This will be only Phelps eighth start of the year, and half of those have come in the minor leagues.
"The biggest thing I've noticed about my routine is I was getting loose a lot quicker," Phelps said. "Last year I would start about 30 minutes before game time. The first start I made this year, I went out 30 minutes before game time and I was ready within 15 minutes before the game started, so I was just trying to figure out how I was going to warm up now. I just go out there like I was coming out of the bullpen."
Phelps might have a future in the pen. He could be a long man. Could be a setup man. He could stay in this sort of swing role. Or he could pitch his way into a regular rotation job, but the Yankees need to see him do it at this level. His last two starts were dominant outings in Double-A and Triple-A, but tonight the Yankees will see how he does against one of the better lineups in the league. There's information to be gained here, and there's value in that.
"(I) learned that I'm capable of more than starting," Phelps said. "I hadn't (been a reliever) in the minor leagues. I'm just proving to myself that I can be more than just a starter. I've made myself a little more versatile. … When I go out there as a starter, I know I'm out there for more than one or two innings — well, I'm supposed to be out there for more than one or two innings — so I kind of plan my game a little differently than thinking about just the next hitter. I can manage the lineup a little differently and just kind of go about it that way."

PAMF Launches New "Care-A-Van" Mobile Medical Clinic in Silicon Valley
Expert, Convenient Health Care, On-site for Employers, Employees
Bay Area employees can now receive expert medical care at work when the Palo Alto Medical Foundation's (PAMF) health care team comes to them. In August 2013, PAMF's Employer Health Services launched its new Care-A-Van mobile medical clinic. The Care-A-Van provides primary and wellness services, including annual check-ups, blood work and vaccinations. Several leading Bay Area employers – the majority located in Silicon Valley – have already signed up for the service, and PAMF's Care-A-Van team is continuing to expand its schedule.
"The demand for this service has been overwhelming," said Ron Sinha, M.D., a PAMF internist and medical director of PAMF's Employer Health Services program. "Employees clearly are concerned about their health, but often lack the time to establish care with a new primary care provider or manage their existing health issues. The Care-A-Van provides them the opportunity to get that overdue blood test or vaccination at the convenience of their workplace, and the results will be updated in an electronic health record instantly. Employees who have come to see us so far have been extremely impressed by the onboard amenities, feeling virtually no difference than being seen at their local PAMF clinic."
The Care-A-Van has two exam rooms and a medical team offering Primary Care and Wellness Services. PAMF's experts can work with on-site trainers and nutritionists to develop a comprehensive plan to optimize employees' health.
Primary Care Services Include:
- Annual physicals
- Treatment for basic health issues
- Counseling on test results (blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and body mass index)
- Lab services
- Vaccinations
Wellness Services:
If a work location offers on-site screening services that identify a particular health issue (for example, blood pressure, cholesterol or weight), the employee can schedule a visit with a Care-A-Van doctor for help and advice to improve his or her health.
Access to Electronic Health Records
Any immunizations or lab tests a patient receives in the Care-A-Van will also be documented in the patient's electronic health record (EHR).
PAMF patients can also use My Health Online to conveniently and securely manage their health information online, access key components of their medical records, request prescription renewals and appointments, view laboratory test results, and communicate with their care team directly via email. PAMF's free My Health Online service is also available via the My Chart app on both iPhone and Android devices.
Learn more about the benefits of having PAMF's Care-a-Van come to your workplace and read answers to Care-A-Van Frequently Asked Questions.

1. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 11, 2012 1:30 PM (in response to conroy)Cool shape, but what does the word "caustic" imply? My train of thought got derailed. It happens.
3. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 11, 2012 1:50 PM (in response to conroy)Thanks.
Second question: You're showing these images with what look like "light panels" in them... I've been looking for ways to do that and have so far not stumbled upon how... I've been looking at the various options for lights, and I've rotated my views so the light sources should be visible, but nothing's showing up. Perhaps I've missed something obvious... Can you help "shed some light" on how to get those in the image, and so that the nice reflections are generated?
4. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 11, 2012 2:06 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)I'll illuminate you, Noel.
High dynamic range panoramic images for image-based lighting. Adobe provides some as optional 3D content:
To emphasise the caustics in the image above, I put the HDR in the donut material's environment slot only. If I had used it as global environmental IBL, it would have directly illuminated the square, too, which obviously would have reduced the contrast of the indirect illumination from the "chromed" donut.
6. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 11, 2012 2:19 PM (in response to conroy)Regarding IBL, see this thread:
CS6 3D file size enormous bloat - where's the compression?
It appears that PSD and PSB files do not support compression of 32-bit float images!
Images which can be losslessly compressed to a few hundred KB can gobble up hundreds of MB in a Photoshop document.
8. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 11, 2012 3:13 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)I've been a geek who enjoyed coding Renderman shaders many moons ago. There's a pun in there. I wonder if any of the regulars here will get it.
11. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 11, 2012 7:45 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)There are a couple of astonishing weaknesses in the CS6 raytracing material which prevents realistic rendering of common opaque and translucent dielectric materials such as ceramics, glasses, plastics, gloss paints and lacquers, and water:
1. There is no modelling of the Fresnel effect. If the user specifies a refraction index other than 1.0 (regardless of opacity) then it should be assumed that a dielectric material is being simulated and the Fresnel effect should be modelled. Without the Fresnel effect, reflection intensity is constant at all angles of incidence to a surface, which is a property of metals. With a dielectric, e.g. glass, reflections are progressively weaker as the angle of incidence approaches being face on to the surface. The fraction of light that isn't reflected is transmitted into the surface. The CS6 material fails to implement that simplistic model which can be found in every other raytracer.
2. Translucency is bizarrely modelled by the CS6 material. Keeping to the basics and ignoring Beer's law (although its inclusion will greatly increase realism), translucency should be a multiplication of transmitted light colour by the material's filtering colour (the one in the "Diffuse colour" parameter being used for example). The CS6 material doesn't produce that effect and, instead, the filtering factor is strangely decreasing as the light intensity increases. I wouldn't be surprised if some relationship to the opacity parameter is responsible for this strangeness. An opacity parameter makes more sense as a "ghosting" control for the entire visibility of a material.
I said these weaknesses are "astonishing" because refraction is modelled by the material and the renderer is otherwise capable of good results and supports image based lighting and indirect illumination.
Will this be corrected before CS7, I wonder.
12. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 11, 2012 8:27 PM (in response to conroy)I don't have the depth of knowledge you do, but I get the impression that all the "magic" is occurring on the faces, and the model doesn't really have an "inner material" per se - kind of like a clear glass with a colored coating, or maybe hollow plastic with colored walls. So it's not a matter of the ray tracer doing it wrong so much as an incomplete modeling of reality. Thus it's impossible to apply Beer's law per a given material if there's no sense of a material through which the light is passing. Does that seem to make sense? It's purely an observation.
Plus I'm finding a few things that may be ray tracing glitches... This model of an extruded R, for example, seems to be missing some color in a strange way in the spaces where it's cut through. There only appear to be a few places where this is occurring, and note that things look okay on the right side of the R. Notably I didn't let the rendering finish, but it doesn't seem likely to change something as radical as that - everything seems to be just refinement.

Don't get hung up on Beer's law, which is very often not coded into materials/shaders - it's icing on the cake. I wish I hadn't mentioned it now. I'll come back to it in a moment, though.
The raytracing engine itself is producing nice results, as I said, but the material modelling is bizarrely weak (not because Beer's law is absent) because a staple of raytracing is missing, namely the Fresnel effect, and translucency is just plain weird. Fresnel is essential for basic "photorealistic" rendering of dielectrics, e.g. glass, and its omission is a pity.
You are correct that the raytracer deals with surfaces, but that doesn't preclude the modelling of material in the volume bounded by these surfaces. We're back at Beer's law now. It can be simplistically represented by a couple of lines of code where the "sense of a material through which the light is passing" is just the length of the ray that's being traced inside an object.
15. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 11, 2012 9:37 PM (in response to conroy)I think we're in agreement, though I don't know the proper terms to express things in.
I've found that Photoshop's ability to combine the 3D results with other layers is kind of cool. It leverages my knowledge of how to use Photoshop, and as you probably saw from the other thread on the gun logos I have been able to do a passable job of making a backlit glass effect. It doesn't stand up perfectly to close scrutiny, but it looks pretty good - so again we're in agreement - the raytracing engine has produced nice results, and Photoshop has been able to use them well in a bigger design.
16. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 12, 2012 4:56 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)By the way, one thing I found impressive: I fooled with Photoshop in one session doing experimentation and rendering after rendering for something like 8 hours straight yesterday afternoon, without a single Photoshop fault. It's not like Rendering was fast - even with 8 cores on the job - but it didn't run into any brick walls, which was nice. ATI Catalyst 12.6 seems to be pretty good for Photoshop.
18. Re: caustic donut
Noel Carboni Aug 14, 2012 6:58 AM (in response to conroy)Plus apparently you're able to make it completely clear but at the same time deeply colored, which was my original complaint. Opacity isn't the same as coloration. I remember my Chemistry teacher in college, one Dr. Baxter, a lifetime ago flunking people for not differentiating between "clear liquid" and "colorless liquid". Fortunately I got the distinction early on and aced his course.
19. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 14, 2012 7:06 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)It is very strange that Adobe have implemented such a poor material model when the raytracing engine is quite certainly capable of so much more realism. I bet Adobe's solution will be a $200 upgrade to CS7.
20. Re: caustic donut
PECourtejoie Aug 14, 2012 7:43 AM (in response to conroy)Conroy, did you post at the feedback site regarding the remarks about the materials, with examples?
21. Re: caustic donut
conroy Aug 14, 2012 8:18 AM (in response to PECourtejoie)No, Pierre. If I remember correctly, Chris Cox previously stated in this forum that there is no need to report problems both here and at the feedback forum.
Unfortunately, when no acknowledgement by Adobe is made of a reported problem, there is no way to know whether the report has been missed or not. I have been instructed by Chris that I am not to bump unacknowledged threads in order to discover whether a report has indeed been noted or missed. I will assume an absence of acknowledgement means that a reported problem has not been noticed or the problem is of no interest to Adobe.

Ngati Tama tribal leaders lodged a land claim for the area, site of its village before the tribe was driven out by military force in the early 1840s.
Tribal members also lodged claims to other parts of Wellington, first conquered by their ancestors in the early 1820s.
"Not only was it stolen but our tribe has been ignored in the history of Wellington - the future of New Zealand is being built on lies," said Ngati Tama Te Kaeaea Trust chairman, Tuffy Whare Churton.
"The Beehive [Parliament's Cabinet office wing] is probably the most important building in the country - but it's on land that was stolen from our people."
The tribe said it did not necessarily want the return of all lands claimed, and was open to negotiations. "We're not going to dig our toes in and be unrealistic but we would like to be acknowledged," Mr Churton said, adding that the government needed to "get its own house in order" before it tried to lead the nation. He warned that Parliament could be cursed with bad luck until the government had resolved the issue.
Ngati Tama was one of several indigenous Maori tribes that journeyed south from Taranaki and conquered the region early last century.
The tribe lived undisturbed from around 1824 until the early 1840s, when its chief was imprisoned by British colonisers and its people driven north.
Mr Churton said his ancestors were forced off their lands around 1843. Most retreated back to their Taranaki allies, several hundred miles to the northwest. He and other descendants of Ngati Tama chief Taringakuri told Waitangi land claim tribunal members that Ngati Tama had refused to sell its lands to white settlers, and was driven out of the city.
Doug Graham, the Treaty Negotiations Minister, declined to comment on the claim.

At first glance there was some good economic news last week. But the good was tempered with much weakness. First, CPI inflation came in at 2.8 per cent, which was better than most economists expected. Rapid falls in oil prices, which are down $30 a barrel since April, suggests that the CPI may well be below the 2 per cent target by the end of the year. Second, May's official measure of retail sales increased by 1 per cent, although this largely reflected the fading of the temporary factors that depressed spending by 2.8 per cent in April and so should not be interpreted as an indicator that consumers are suddenly planning on a burst of new spending.
Nearly 1 per cent of the 1.4 per cent monthly rise in overall sales volumes in May was due to a return in fuel and clothing sales to more normal levels. March's fuel panic caused by Francis Maude meant that consumers bought much less petrol in April, while the bad weather in the month temporarily reduced clothing sales. Third, the ONS jobs report also contained some better news. Private sector employment rose by 205,000 between January and March 2012. Unemployment was down 10,000 and employment was up 50,000 on the month. Total hours were also up.
But that news was countered by some not-so-good news. The number of long-term unemployed was up by 30,000. The number of part-time workers wanting full-time jobs was up 25,000. The number of vacancies remained unchanged. There was a jump of 59,000 in the number of people who were out of the labour force (OLF) and couldn't find a job. The claimant count for May was up 8,000 compared with April. This is a more timely measure than the ILO count, which does not augur well for the future path of unemployment.
Over the last year the number of employees has fallen by 136,000 while the number of self-employed has risen by 186,000. The number of full-time employees has fallen by 122,000. Of particular concern is the fact that we have little idea what these new self-employed workers are actually doing; it is most unlikely that many of these are budding entrepreneurs. The concern is that they are doing low-paying jobs with relatively few hours; it is most unlikely then that many of these are "good jobs". We know that the earnings distributions for the self-employed and employees are very different from each other.* Median incomes are lower for the self-employed than they are for employees, but the self-employed distribution, of course, has a longer right-hand tail. There is also little evidence to show that a higher self-employment rate – the proportion of total employment that is self-employed – which is up from 13.6 per cent to 14.2 per cent on the year – has any correlation at all with macroeconomic performance.**
The most important piece of evidence in my view in the ONS jobs release was the evidence on wages presented in the chart. As we can see nominal earnings growth has been falling over the last nine months or so as the economy headed back into double-dip recession. Private-sector earnings growth picked up through 2011, reaching a high point of 2.9 per cent in August 2011, but has fallen steadily since then. Earnings growth averaged over the last three months, February-April, was only 1.1 per cent in the private sector and 1.3 per cent in the public. In combination with an inflation rate of 2.8 per cent real earnings continue to fall. This does not suggest to me that there is any risk at all of domestically generated inflation, which means that the MPC should be easing policy right away given that the risks to inflation are now so markedly to the downside.
We found out last week from the newly published minutes of the June meeting that four of the nine members of the MPC, including the Governor, Sir Mervyn King, plus Adam Posen, Paul Fisher and David Miles, all voted for more quantitative easing. King, Miles and Posen voted for an additional £50bn while Fisher voted for £25bn. This is the third time that the Governor has voted in the minority; it is not obviously a good thing as it suggests a lack of influence and leadership, especially when King was unable to carry three of his own internal appointees with him – Charlie Bean, Spencer Dale and Paul Tucker.
Bean is well known to be a terminal ditherer and is the most likely to change his vote at the next meeting. Independence is all very well as long as people make the right decisions; knuckles need to be rapped when they don't. Interestingly in a Reuters interview one of the five dissenters, the external member Ben Broadbent, argued that the case had strengthened for the Bank of England to pump yet more money into Britain's struggling economy as the outlook had weakened over the past few weeks and the eurozone crisis is likely to hurt the country for some time, although it remains unclear why this is news as that has been apparent for months.
In addition the external member Martin Weale, who also voted against more monetary stimulus in June, made a speech entitled "Navigating Rough Waters", where he noted that the "immediate prospects for the economy have worsened". And he concluded that now "there is appreciably more room for further monetary stimulus".
Weale also took a heavy swipe at the recession deniers who have argued that despite no basis in evidence, for sure, the GDP data will be revised up. Weale concluded that, "I am confident that the GDP figures will be revised again but would not like to say whether this will be up or down". I agree.
Weale also produced a chart, reproduced above, showing the MPC's terrible forecasting performance on GDP growth from two years ago; the data have continued to disappoint to the downside. The data shows the MPC's forecast with the actual data as the black line; note that the gap between forecast and outcome is growing. But still the MPC continues to believe, wrongly, all will be OK on the night.
Momentum does seem to have moved in the direction of more QE. More is better than less. Sooner is better than later.

I know i'm old and fat, but the new tour site is driving me round the twist. Dicuss........
it's definitely not as easy to navigate like the old one. I agree, I much prefer the previous version which did the job well for anyone looking for detailed info.
the strange thing is that the navigation *looks* similar to the old website.....
I couldn't disagree more. I find the new site much easier to navigate and it loads very fast too.
I loved the old one......
alls im gonna say is why change something thats not broken?
The new current one is quicker, clearer and more informative. Give it time and get used to it!
I prefer the infostrada one with Cycling News/Twitter for text updates.
I quite like the new look, easy to find the links you want.
The KoM comp hasn't been updated yet though
Mixed comments then.. I just cannot suss it out, and at work it is really slow due to all the pictures.

On what he's looking for from Willie Mitchell in Friday's game at Colorado:
Just try and get the minutes out of him, and system and detail. He's pretty well structured in the X's and O's part of it, so basically, get into the contact against a different team.
On whether he generally treats a player returning from injury like any other player in a game situation once they're ready to go:
I think we're lucky that it's preseason so you can really watch him. I'm looking at him like he's just a guy that hasn't played for a while, and at his age, I want to see him get back into the flow of it. It's got nothing to do with injury. I mean, he's basically been through this once before, so now we're going to see what he can do at this age.
On whether there's a chance that Pearson, Vey and Toffoli could skate together on Friday:
Yeah. They'll skate five-on-five together. They're power play guys in the American League, so we're going to use 'em on power play, and then we're going to try and fool around with some other guys shorthanded and things like that.
On whether Valentin Zykov will draw into any more preseason games:
We'll just take it here – you know what? He had another really good day today. At the same time, he's a junior player. He's not playing on the big team this year. Now there's probably three or four kids that are here that you just want them to be sponges.
On whether he has an update on Dustin Brown's hamstring:
Brownie's making progress every day, so we'll hopefully get him on the ice either Sunday or Monday.

As implied in this discussion of social concerns and themes, Morrison's characters usually mark a fine line between the symbolic or allegorical representation of a concept and the psychological or a complex amalgamation of acknowledged and unacknowledged forces motivating them to act, almost as it were independent of their creator. For example, Valerian is simultaneously a stereotype of the insensitive imperialist and a complex individual with deepseated and unresolved psychological dilemmas resulting in a pathological need to control others' lives. This list could be extended greatly, but this section will focus on the protagonist and three characters who bring new themes and concerns to the pages of Tar Baby: the enigmatic and at last unknowable protagonist, the beauty queenturned-abusive mother, and the son who is not coming home for Christmas.
