James Thomas Loveday, of the Phoenix Fire Office spent two and a half years creating and compiling these plans of wharves and granaries along the Thames to assess fire risk for insurance purposes. The plans he produced for business purposes are now invaluable to London historians and genealogists.
This volume held at Guildhall Library, covers an area on the south bank of the Thames from London Bridge to the Globe Granary at Rotherhithe and on the north bank from London Bridge to Tower Dock.
Although Loveday was the "Surveyor of Risks" for the Phoenix Fire Office, he seems to have published the volume himself. The names of the twenty eight subscribers to the volume are listed including those of several other fire insurers e.g. The Sun Fire Office & the Unity Fire Insurance Association. The volume was priced ten pounds and ten shillings to subscribers and twelve pounds and twelve shillings to other purchasers.
The title page of the volume tells us that the plans show wharves and granaries "with the buildings connected therewith…with a description of their occupancy, construction, use and internal and external risk, each accompanied with a plan and report sufficient for an immediate adjustment of rate and preceded by …copious indexes" (Loveday, 1857, preface)
Historians and genealogists alike will find these 'copious indexes' very useful. Loveday indexed by occupier, granary keeper (business name), granary title, wharf and quay and by 'street and stairs' i.e. Seven Star Alley.
This is Loveday's plan of Butler's Wharf showing Mr J Knight's Granary, brick built and on four floors. Offices and warehouses are plotted and annotated as is the position of the George Public House, the wash houses, shops and private dwellings.
This plan of Dock Head Wharf/St Saviour's Dock shows a cooperage at the centre marked with the extent of the timber within. Around the cooperage stands a 'lofty, ground floor hoop store', the saw pit, other stores, a dwelling and an office, the Crown and Sceptre public house and the workshops.
Guildhall Library is a public reference library and you are welcome to visit to view this volume and others on London's history and the history of the docks. More details and a link to our catalogue can be found on our website

Andrew Stuart (2) celebrates Centennial's first goal scored past Maple Grove goaltender Ethan Haider in the Class 2A, Section 5 final Thursday. Photo: Richard Tsong-Taatarii•email@example.com
Seeing their one-goal lead disappear early in the third period forced Centennial hockey players to call upon a year's worth of motivation.
The Cougars fell to Maple Grove last season in the Class 2A, Section 5 finals and vowed to make things right if given the chance. And they did.
Same Crimson.
Same Aldrich Arena.
Same trip to state on the line.
Different outcome.
Centennial entered the Class 2A, Section 5 championship on Thursday having not allowed a goal in 14 consecutive periods.
An early Maple Grove lead didn't faze the Cougars. They simply revved up the offense for a 6-4 victory.
Centennial clinched its first state tournament appearance since 2014, avenging last season's section final loss to the Crimson in the process.
No. 12 Centennial (19-6-3) entered the third period ahead 3-2. Maple Grove's Tyler Kostelecky tied the game with his second goal of the contest.
But the Cougars responded early and often. Will Francis restored a 4-3 lead less than one minute later. And goals scored just 38 seconds apart from Hayden Brickner and Lucas McGregor made it 6-3.
Check back later for more on the game.

Hovlaine Marcellus:
As soon as I was in, it was just like, this is all or nothing, I'm going to put my best foot forward 100%. Like, this is just something that I have to do.
I fear nothing. I honestly think that basic training is what you make of it, and you shouldn't be scared. This is something that you signed up to do, so you just do it.
Since I've gotten here, I think I've gained more discipline, which is what I wanted. I'm so used to working by myself as an individual that I had to learn how to work as a team, and how to talk to my team. Every day, I'm seeing something new. I'm seeing a different culture. You know, I'm learning something new outside every day. And Victory Tower was probably the most challenging for me, because I didn't think I was that afraid of heights until I actually had to rappel. They put you in certain positions where you're not comfortable. But then again, you're at basic, so you're not going to be comfortable.
I think about graduation every day. I'm counting down. It's 30 days until graduation. I feel nervous, excited, like I'm ready to start a new chapter.
(on-screen text)
Family is everything to me. I wake up early, like, my day always starts at, like, 5:00 or 6:00. So I'm just always on the go. I'll get the kids ready for school, or drop them off to school, then I drop my older sister off to work. After I drop her off to work, I probably get ready for work myself.
Marie Paule:
Oh, she was very, very active little girl. I come from Haiti in 1994. I move to United States, I was living in Queens, New York with my aunt, and met my husband, [Hoover?].
Hovlaine Marcellus:
When 9/11 hit, I was in New York. I didn't know what was going on, I was only five at the time. But it just seemed so surreal. Like, you never expect something like that to happen to you. I lived on the 65th floor, so you could see the skyline of Manhattan. You could see everything that's happening. Like, you just are hearing people yelling, and it's so much chaos around you. You don't know what to expect. Like, I was young at the time, so I didn't know what to do. My mom was telling me to hide. Like, what do you do at five years old?
Marie Paule:
The last year of high school, she said she wants to be in the Army. And we tell her, if that's what she wants, so go for it.
Serafina Marcellus:
When she told me, I was really proud of her, because she's usually determined, and I don't know, something about her was like, yeah, I'm going to do this.
Hovlaine Marcellus:
Taking care of my family, like, making sure they were OK, making sure that I can go to school, that my parents don't have a problem paying for me. Like, at the time, that was my motivation and drive to enlist.
PT at basic was intense. It was hard. It was definitely a challenge for me, because I wasn't used to being yelled at. Like, I usually go at my own pace. But I pushed myself hard. I definitely thought it was going to be easy, especially the running part, because I ran track.
When I'm in uniform, I feel good, because people look at me and I represent something that's bigger than myself. I was born here. This is a part of me, just as much as everybody else that's in America. And it doesn't get any better than that. Like, a lot of people don't have the same privileges as us.
I met a lot of great people, and they were my battle buddies, these other people that I went through a struggle with, some type of bond formed there. Even if I didn't like you, it didn't matter, because at the end of the day, if I'm downrange with you, I have to trust that you're going to be -- you know, you're going to have my back.
Being an AIT member, having a security clearance is definitely -- it adds more responsibility. And the people who look at my application are like, "OK, she's in the military. Like, I know she's going to be serious about this job. I know that she's going to be motivated, I know that she's going to have the discipline, I don't have to worry about her slacking off." So yes, being in the military is very, very beneficial, as far as, like, being in civilian life.
Coming home from AIT, it was -- it was, like, the best feeling, because when I first got off the bus, I saw my cousin, and she just screamed, like, so loud. I didn't know who it was, and she just hugged me, and I started crying. It was amazing, because I didn't see my family at all. They was like, "You put on a lot of weight" when I came back. I was just like, it's muscle. (laughter)
Marie Paule:
Oh, I said, "Oh my God, you got so big." That's what I told her. And so I was so happy to see her, and all the rest of the family was so happy.
Serafina Marcellus:
I ran up to her. Like, I was so happy to see her. And when she came back, she was, like, more determined, more organized.
Hovlaine Marcellus:
I feel like I can go beyond 20 years, because I love it so much. And at first, it was, OK, I wanted to get the benefits. But when you meet different people and, you know, you see different things, and you learn so much, you become so invested.
When I decided to join the Army, I feel like that was the best decision in my life. The Army did much more for me that I could do for the Army.
Marie Paule:
I feel very happy for me and for her.
Maxo Michel:
The youth in the community, they feel like they are a servant, to serve the community, and to serve their country as well. And nothing could stop her, because she's always worked above negativity, and she's ready to face that challenge, you know?

Fiona made her debut at the Royal Opera House in Brussels, where she sang the role of Dababella in Mozart's 'Cosi fan tutte' for the Opera Studio and Touring Company. Other operatic roles followed including: Cherubino in Mozart's 'Marriage of Figaro', Mercedes in Bizet's 'Carmen', Konchakovna in Borodin's 'Prince Igor', Maria in Rossini's 'Mose in Egito' and Bianca in Benjamin Britten's 'The Rape of Lucretia'.

I enjoy the friendship and camaraderie associated with life with the Choir.
Choir President, Councillor Allan Morris
I make no apology for admitting being one of the City of Newport Male Choir's greatest fans. In a rapidly changing world they maintain the highest traditions of Welsh Male Choral singing, and they do it superbly. No matter how grand or sparse the venue, how large or small the audience the choir give it everything they have, and believe me they have a lot to give. It is blatantly obvious that they always enjoy themselves as much as their audiences. Always immaculately turned out, from the moment they step on the stage the choir leave the audience in no doubt that the people of Newport have a lot of reasons to be proud of these great ambassadors to their City. With the ability to send a shiver down your spine or a tear to the eye they truly deserve their hard earned world wide reputation. It is a huge tribute to their musical Director Fiona Bryant
Honorary Vice President Jessica Morden MP Newport East

The Choir is a thriving and vibrant Choral group which maintains the singing traditions of this area and provides Newport with yet another thing to be very proud of. Their Concerts, both here in Newport and across the country, attract a wide variety of people and they work hard to reach out to new audiences with new material, which is a credit to this dedicated team. I look forward to this seasons performances and to the exciting year ahead".

Even the keenest follower of this blog is unlikely to have lost a great deal of sleep over the fate of the mölkky (Finnish skittles) set last seen on Christmas Day. But here it is, providing an excuse to involve Joe, Clare and our neighbour Keith in some enjoyable physical activity out in the woods across the road, on another glorious evening. Better than just hanging round the pub anyway. (Which we did anyway, afterwards…. too nice to stay in.)

Sometimes I still can't believe we are actually doing this! Every time we take another tiny baby step in the process, I am once again caught by the sense of amazement! "Oh, my! We are really doing this!!!" The process, both concrete and emotional is incredible!
We are dreaming of this little one that God is planning to entrust to us...wondering who she is, and where she will come from...what color hair does she have and how old will she be? Like I said...incredible...
So, today, I officially called the trainer for our PRIDE "pre service" classes...I can hardly believe it! Classes start in March and we are working on finishing up the application process...then we head for the "Home Study" stage...which can take 3-6 weeks(to gather all of the data...then, I believe I remember the director of our agency saying his goal is to get the home study completed as quickly as possible {not sure exactly how many weeks) and then we get news (God willing!) of final approval!)...what an incredible adventure! =)
We crave your prayer support through all of this...there is nothing quite like the prospect of having someone go over your personal life details with a fine toothed comb to bring out the sense of(or at least fear of) being "less than" like never before! We both need prayer to remember that who we are in Christ is what matters...we are children of the High King...He has a plan...and we can trust Him to open the right doors and to close the doors that we should not pass through. It will all be for His Glory, regardless!
One foot in front of the other...each day, a seperate part of the journey..."Follow me" He says...so we will!
SO excited! =) Thanks for reading...
(PS...little did we know, God had plans to entrust TWO beautiful children to us! Sugar Bear Boy )
One mama...one beautiful family(created via birth and adoption) on journey with Christ. Wading out into the River with delight!! Carrying the Presence/Light out into the darkness! Where we go He goes and where He goes there is LIFE!

First Steps...
This week, we started out taking the first steps...gathering application materials and ordering the required documents. We have barely begun this journey and already we've encountered the love, joy and excitement of the community surrounding us! Thank you for the encouragement, hugs, congratulations and expressions of excitement! They have already been a great source of encouragement to us both! =) Please continue to pray that we will clearly hear God's voice leading us through the maze of preparation! One foot in front of the other, one stroke of the pen followed by the next...that is where we are at right now. We are finding it is important to remember that God's timing is perfect! The length of time it takes to accomplish any part of this journey is precisely planned and guided by His faithful hand! But, your prayers and support help us to remember that daily!
Thanks again to all of you! It means so much!
Thanks again to all of you! It means so much!

Let the dreams begin!
January 17, 2011
Prayer Requests:
Prayer Requests:
Please pray...
That God will continue to help us hear His voice and seek His face...
That we will see open doors for exactly what they are...and that He will give us the courage to walk through them......and closed doors for exactly what they are, as well...at which point, we may need the strength to walk away from that door and move on...
That we will find favor in the application process...not only in the approval, but all of the steps along the way...that it will be as straightforward as it can be.
That our little girl, wherever she is, is safe and knows the comfort of Jesus right by her side.
That God will start now to prepare the hearts of everyone who will be involved in this process.
That God will grant us the Grace and peace to take this all as it comes and enjoy it!
Thanks for stopping by!
Much love
Kelly & Jeanene

Prologue to a journey...
For seven and a half years now, Kelly and I have worked and fought the hard good fight to build a marriage and a family...it has been an incredible challenge, but so worth it! We have faced many tough times and multiple battles...but, God has won the war...If God is for us, who can be against us? No one! Not even us! The last 2-3 years have been especially tough...we have seen in many ways(looking back) how hard the enemy has fought to destroy our home and our marriage...and how we had been playing right into his hands in our determination to "be right" and protect our personal rights against each other...it is never God's will that a husband and wife fight against one another...we were designed to walk through life hand in hand, facing the future with God in the lead. It is really important to remember who the real enemy is! (And Who is truly in control in the end...IF we will trust Him!)
About one year ago, as we faced some of our toughest challenges, I began to pray that God would redeem our family...our home, our marriage...our life, for the kingdom. We are no good to the kingdom with our heads down, buried in the muck of self centeredness and the "preservation of our personal rights"! Something that we were all struggling with tremendously(and still do...I mean, c'mon, we're human after all!)
Shortly after I started praying that prayer, we had a house flood!LOL! I know that sounds strange...but, you have no idea how much God did through that one event to begin the process of redemption! He cleared our home, and improved it...He gave us a way to sort through all of the clutter that had built up due to both of us working full time, combined with my becoming very ill(Thyroid issues...which He had just begun to address a couple months before.) He placed ALL of us in a very small space(8 weeks in a hotel will create a level of "contact" that can't be denied!LOL!) and forced us to face our issues as a family...
After moving back into our home, He continued the redemption for my part through my schooling. I took classes in counseling techniques and understanding addiction and alcoholism that opened my eyes to the realities of my life leading up to this point..all of the ways that my perspective had been damaged and distorted...and He showed me how that had happened to all of those around me who were struggling to cope with this family disease as well! He filled me with compassion and forgiveness and set me free from years of regret, pain and shame. It was an incredible ride...Now I have this sense that He has renovated those rooms in my heart that were ravaged by the storms of life, and He then walked out, dusted His hands off and closed the door. I don't live there anymore...I can walk back into those rooms with someone who is suffering from those frustrations and that kind of pain...I can share and I can empathize and I can pray...and then, I can leave and live my life in the light...what a healing experience! I look forward to seeing all of the ways that God will use all that He showed me in those classes for the kingdom!
He then set about restoring our finances and helping us gain balance. If there is one thing about blended families that is really difficult to grasp, it's the blending of two homes...two household leaders...two styles of handling money, etc...add to that a young marriage and the emotional needs of many children and you have the recipe for a real financial mess. But, little by little He revealed to us where our thinking was wrong...and where we needed to look to Him for direction, strength, perspective and guidance. We are currently enrolled in a series of financial classes at the church, and we are SO excited to see it all start coming together! Again, we are witnesses to His redemption and amazing grace in our lives...
But, that is not all! LOL! (Is it ever with God?!) For the rest of the story so far, read the following post!! =) We genuinely need your prayers...and, please, feel free to share your thoughts with us!

And so the journey begins...
And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. Matthew 18:5
Over the last seven years, God has done many miraculous things for Kelly and I...starting with our wedding day. There have been several times over those years that we dreamed of a child of our own...talked about adoption...and wondered if the day would ever really come. Kelly has two lovely daughters and I have four beautiful sons...after years of consideration and months of continual prayer and deliberation, the time has come. Today we met with the director of "New Life Adoptions" here in Wenatchee...There are mountains of paperwork and classes and an unknown number of days ahead of us! We are on our way...following God through the many doors ahead, as He opens them.
In our research we have found countless stories of families like ours who had thought of adoption, but always hesitated(it seems SO big and SO expensive!), yet once they moved forward, God provided the way to bring their child home...it seems too big...too expensive...impossible... An immovable mountain...But, we know that nothing is impossible for Him. So, like those families, we are ready to step out in faith, knowing that God will see to it that His plans for our family and (If it truly is His will) for our daughter, wherever she may be, are fulfilled. We know this is a dream that is the picture of God's heart...adoption. He adopted each of us and gave us a knew name...and He was SO excited, He tattooed that name on His Hand...and wrote it on His heart! We look forward to learning all that this process reveals to us about the love of God...we are already starting to sense that excitement!
This blog will be our primary means of keeping family, friends and supporters informed and involved in the process! We will be doing several fundraising activities (and are happy to accept donations from those who feel led to do so, but prayers are so very much appreciated, as well!) to help cover the needs that will inevitably arise from this adventure! If you have any fundraising ideas that you would like to share, please feel free to comment here! We will be scouring "Craigslist" for many of the items we need as time goes on.
I will also establish and keep up to date a current prayer needs list for the areas of greatest need and focus that we encounter in preparation for our child's arrival...we will be preparing to cover the basic needs of a baby(3 years and under) and the needs we have to modify our home(her future room needs a safe egress window installed before she can sleep there!) and we are asking for God's provision of a new electrical panel and an improved heating/ac system installation(s) before bringing a young child home! (But, only He knows what we really need!) Perhaps that will all come later!
We have seen, many times over, where God has called communities to participate in the "homecoming" of a child through adoption. We believe it is part of our calling as a church body to "care for widows and orphans in their distress" (James 1:27)...we invite you to join us now (in whatever way that you feel lead) as we start this journey!
Current prayer needs are:
Firm direction on the choice of an adoption agency, and the agency that will provide our home study. (we believe this one has already been answered!)That God will direct us to a social worker who has His will for us in mind...
2. God's guidance and direction when completing the application process... especially in the area of hearing His clear will for the "special needs" possibilities and "age range" selections of our application. We want to be open to accept whatever God has for us. We also need to be open to whatever preparation that may require!
3. Guidance and favor as we submit our application and start the home study process.
4. The funds to begin necessary repairs to our home and the installation of an egress window in that future downstairs bedroom.
5. The necessary elements to begin preparation for covering her needs when she comes home.
6. Peace and a calm, watchful heart that is prepared to wait this process out!
7. Continued growth and strength to keep our eyes on Jesus, in our pursuit of God's will and His purpose for our marriage.
8. And last, but not least...protection and a sense of love and peace for our little one wherever she may be!
Practical needs that some of you might feel lead to address:
Practical help in getting our yard completed(this coming Spring), our exterior cleaned up...replacement of the soffits(eaves?). Expertise on installation of an egress window...(If anyone would like to donate the cost or equipment to install (or labor for installation)an egress window in the room downstairs where our daughter will sleep(so she is close to our room) that would be such a tremendous blessing!)
If you should feel lead to give monetarily, we will be having several events that will you afford that opportunity...or if you would like to keep it simple...there is a Paypal button in a couple of places on this blog...all donations go to making our home ready for the child that God has for us! Once that need has been met, the remainder is going to be put together as a donation to "New Life Adoptions" so that they can continue to help other families fulfill God's purpose for their lives through adoption!
We simply cannot shake the sense that she is out there waiting for us...whether "out there" means she has already been born or not, we do not know...but, we are praying for her and for her birth family every day...we are also praying for the countless children in our world who wait for their forever families to come and give them new life!
Thank you so much for joining us on the journey!
By His Grace Alone

About this blog
On 6 June 2010 we left for our Top End adventure travelling through the Flinders Ranges to Maree and onto the Oodnadatta Track. After Oodnadatta we turned off and headed up to Mt Dare before crossing in the Northern Territory and traversing Binns Track to Alice Springs.
After Alice Springs we went out through the East MacDonnell Ranges working our way up into the Davenport Ranges before rejoining the Stuart Hwy at the Devils Marbles. Once on the Stuart Hwy we pushed north up into Mataranka, swimming in the hot springs and onto Katherine.
Leaving Katherine we drove further north to Litchfield National Park camping at Florence Falls which were a delight to swim in at the end of each days exploration. Litchfield led to Darwin where four nights were spent restocking the supplies and taking in the sights before venturing off into Kakudu National Park.
On leaving Kakudu National Park we headed south for a short distance before turning off and heading east along the Savanagh Way to Roper Bar, out through Borroloola, camping on the Robinson River before crossing the border into outback Queensland. Out through Hells Gate we went turning south down into Kingfisher Camp and onto Lawn HIll Gorge where we camped and canoed.
Having had a very relaxing time at Lawn Hill we moved on through outback Queensland to Winton where we took in the Age of Dinosaur exhibition and camped on a cattle property "Windermere" where the kids fed the poddy calves.
The weather started to turn cold so we headed south having travelled 10,961 kilometres arriving home on 17 July 2010.
Flinders Ranges National Park, Australia
A beautiful scenic place to stay and explore. We woke to a very cold 3 degree morning but once the sun started to rise it was magnificent. The last we were here it was in drought and to see it so green was beautiful. Guess we need to book this in for another trip.
Oodnadatta, Australia
Having woken to a magnificent sunrise at Beresford Ruins off the Oodnadatta Track we broke camp and headed west toward the Oodnadatta Roadhouse. A morning tea stop in William Creek and walk around the cemetery opposite the pub was an interesting insight into the history of the area. Further along we reached the "Pink Roadhouse" that had one the oldest swing sets I have seen but that didn't stop the kids from testing the fun factor. After lunch we drove just out of town before turning right and heading for Mt Dare which was to be our stop for night. Managed to pick up a farm nail in the tyre but it was sealing fine so decided to keep a watch on it as opposed to fix it. Mt Dare is in the Witjira National Park on the western edge of the Simpson Desert.
Old Andado, Australia
Next morning it was on the road again as we pushed north toward Alice Springs. We planned to drive Binns Track which was formally known as Old Andado track. With no expectations we set off. Within 14 kms we were driving through dense bush, home to thousands of green budgies before crossing gibber strewn plains and farming properties. The drive was easy going and nothing difficult and we did see one 4wd coming the other way. By lunch we had reached Old Andando homestead and upon cresting the red sand dune we were confronted by a desert flood. This was nothing short of spectacular and a prime opportunity to photograph the magnificent red dunes and water. The track to the homestead was cut but a bypass track had been dozed around the flood waters. It was here that one of the highlights of the trip was discovered.
On arriving at the homestead we were greeted by the volunteer caretaker who insisted that we come inside for a brew. This was the wish of Molly Clarke the owner. Molly who I thought! Well on leaving this beautifully preserved piece of Australian history I was in awe. Tough country – friendly folk. http://www.oldandado.com.au
A short drive on after lunch brought us to Mac Clarke's conservation area where a walk of the Waddy trees and more history was digested.
Camp was a simple off the road behind some shrubs for the night.
Alice Springs, Australia
Arltunga Historical Reserve, Australia
Now with Pav having arrived it was time to hit the road again with a traveling companion. A quick check of the vehicles in the morning revealed the Britz had a leaking tyre. We got this changed fairly quickly and headed off into the East MacDonnell Ranges. Our aim was to camp the night at Ruby Gap. This was my second attempt to get there having been beaten by time some years ago on a previous trip. We arrived at Arltunga historical area in time for lunch and on going into the ranges office we read the road to Ruby Gap was closed due to flood damage. Beaten again! On the bright side there is an excuse for another trip. Having to chose another camp for the night Gem Tree was decided. We had an explore and stretch of the legs around the historical area and ventured out to the old gold mines. These were great and some were open so you could crawl through with the torches and experience the conditions as they were back then. We took Cattle Pass Way track (by mistake) to Gem Tree which saw some low range 2nd gear driving up the hills. The drive was very scenic and well worth the error. The climbs were tough, the ground very rocky and narrow in places but forced slower speeds meant we were able to take in the bird life, terrain and views. Gem Tree was an interesting camp ground and one that we will plan to stay at another time and explore the gem fields held by this property. The owner here was very hospitable and even had diesel supplies.
Devils Marbles, Australia
Mataranka, Australia
Katherine, Australia
Litchfield National Park, Australia
Darwin, Australia
Kakadu National Park
Lorella Springs
Robinson River, Australia
Having driven the one million corrugations out of Lorella Springs we continued on the Savannah Way heading for Borroloola which was to be the lunch stop. It was an easy and very scenic drive and although we only saw a couple of cars, we could others nearby over the radio. Wasn't much to see or do in Boorooloola except look straight ahead and take no photos. The servo was a great stop for lunch as they had the fried Dim Sim and crinkle cut chips hot and ready to eat. Suffice to say it was an enjoyable feast. On leaving town we head for the Robinson River where we would look for a camp. The book told us to cross the river and turn left and sure enough there was this tiny little over grown track. Hmmm why not – so we did. Well this opened to a treed grass land with four sites backing onto the river but a good 400 meters on high bank. Safe from the Crocs for another night. This ended up being a good free camp spot that we would have no hesitation in staying again.
Lawn Hill National Park, Australia
Another beautiful morning and on the road heading for Queensland. The roads were quiet which was no suprise and pace was relaxed. We headed down into another river crossing which was quite wide. The drive in was easy and as we started to exit – BANG. That sickening sound of rock on metal. We looked at each other wondering what was broken. We drove to the top of crossing and a quick inspection showed nothing out of the ordinary so on we went. We crossed over into Queensland at Wollogorang and the gravel road immediately changed. Yep an unkept, heavily corrugated, pot holed track inside Queensland. We slowed down, took our time and made it to Hells Gate for lunch. This was an interesting place to stop for a bite to eat and the history of the name is worth the google. On leaving we headed for Kingfisher Camp on Bowthron Station. As I veered out something didn't feel right with the front end so another quick inspection again showed no obvious signs so on we went. We turned right and head south off the Savannah Way. The road into the camp was a good black soil track with lots of bends. On arriving at camp I drove the truck and trailer around the camp ground to drive through our site and couldn't turn left. Something was definately wrong. A five point turn, towing a trailer in a camp ground with every camper watching is pressure. Eventually got the car around and drove into the site. An inspection of lying underneath found that the rock had collided with the steering dampner preventing the wheels turning left. The station hand was a good bush mechanic who gave the following advice…. (now say it slowly)….."just take it off. You don't need them they just get bent up on rocks". So with the help of some fellow travellers off came the dampner.
Next stop was down into Lawn Hill Gorge via Bowthron Station. This was a pleasant drive, with bulldust holes, lots of cattle gates, some good long and wide river crossings and very scenic. We eventually pulled into Lawn Hill and decided to camp at Adel's Grove. $40 per night for the family so three nights were booked. After the third night we discuss staying another two to three nights. This is an amazing camp ground set amongst Palm Trees on a magnificient river that has fresh water crocs and plenty of fish. It was safe for swimming and hiring the canoe was sensational. $50 for 2 hours to paddle up the gorge, drag it around to a second gorge and continue paddling. The views, atmosphere, bird life, fish and crocs. This is was relaxing and a place we look forward to returning to.
Lawn Hill to Home
Leaving Lawn Hill was hard but it was time to move on. It was to be a simple drive as we slowly headed south for home with the rest of the trip on the bitumen. We drove through to Cloncurry for a nights stop at the Top Tourist Park and the next day onto Winton. On arriving at Winton there really wasn't any of those nice green grassy campsites that we all enjoy. A poster stuck on a post advertised a farm stay just out of town so to try something different the decision was made. Well it was a cattle property but the hosts could not have been friendlier. They had golf clubs and balls, a large fire with the wood supplied, basic camp kitchen and toilets. In the afternoon our little city slickers were invited to feed the pody calves and turkeys which was a treat. This was an nice quiet spot to camp outside of the city centre and well worth it.
The next day we went on to the Age of Dinosaur centre on the outskirts of town. This was a magnificent place set at the top of a mountain range looking back over channel country. To think it was only 10 years ago when the Dinosaur bones were found in Winton and watching them slowly reconstruct these prehistoric beasts was every boys dream. Even the girls enjoyed the tour. I look forward to visiting again in another 5 or so years and seeing the progress.
After Winton we drove to Longreach for lunch and Blackall for the night. Oops no spare sites at the camp ground so we got put into the town over flow at the sports ground. Great spot no being cramped in with every other tourist and hot showers. Didn't mind this at all.
The rest of the trip home was easy driving at a relaxed pace with the first rain since the morning we left experienced one hour out of Melbourne.
A great adventure had by all.

The measures announced by the President seems like we're indeed in a war situation in France as Islamist terrorists were shouting " « Allah Akabar »
Le 0800 40 60 05 a été mis en place par la préfecture de police, suite aux attaques simultanées qui ont frappé la capitale vendredi soir.
A series of coordinated, deadly attacks at an estimated seven locations around Paris on Friday, including a stadium, a restaurant and a concert hall left an estimated 153 people dead in what officials called the worst terrorism assault since 9/11. French President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency and shut all national borders in response to the crisis. The city announced the closure of all schools, museums, libraries, gyms, swimming pools and markets on Saturday.
More than 120 people are dead tonight in France,after seven coordinated and simultaneous attacks that took place in Paris, all these scenes of pain and distress, that perhaps aroused painful emotions in my readers? : France entered the war this evening and this war settles down on its own territory. Never such an outburst of violence had struck this country leaving chaos and a lot of questions not answered until now by the country's officials. In this situation of exception, the power immediately answered by the immediate instauration measures of the same nature which correspond truly to a war situation.
A provisional estimate of the simultaneous Fridays evening attacks in Paris states 120 deaths but this could reach 150
According to a provisional estimate, at least 120 (some sources say 140) people died in the attacks which struck Paris on this Friday evening. Furthermore, five terrorists are probably dead, according to sources close to the official investigation .
Explosions and gunfire erupted as the heavily armed security forces poured into the theater of Bataclan where a California rock group was playing. One police official described "carnage" inside the building, saying the attackers tossed explosives at the hostages, the Associated Press reported. At least two suspects were killed in the siege. It was unclear how many hostages were rescued.
An immediate call of all the police forces, the mobilization of armed forces, closing of the country's borders and especially, and impose a "State of Emergency", it is good a complete outfit of measures corresponding to the opening of hostilities at the heart of France which were decreed by the Council of Ministers who gathered this night at the Elysée Palace and were announced by the president of the French Republic, François Hollande.
" The state of emergency " embodies to it all this changeover in France and in Europe from tonight.
This extremely rare measure was implemented for last time ten years ago, during the suburban riots, in autumn of 2005. But historically, it was implemented a half a century earlier, to face the consequences of a war, the Algerian War, that a law gave birth to these exceptional measures. It was in 1955 and it was a question to face the disorders and the waves of terrorist attacks caused by the conflict which took place on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea.
- The State of Emergency:
According to texts and laws of France,the state of emergency " confers on the civil authorities and the exceptional powers given to the police concerning the regulation of traffic and the stay of the people, the closure of places opened to the public and on the requisition of weapons ". As a symbol of the conflict which starts in the heart of the country, it comes along with the possibility for the prefects to decree the curfew to forbid the movement of people or vehicles. Also prefectures can establish some " zones of protection or security where the stay of the people is regulated ".
Paris Prosecutor Francois Molins said early Saturday that the death toll, spread across six sites in the city, could top 150. He added five attackers may have been killed. In addition to 100 people killed at the concert venue, at least 11 died in a Paris restaurant in the 10th arrondissement and at least three died when bombs went off outside a stadium, police said.
It was the deadliest violence Paris has seen since World War II. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks. SITE Intelligence Group, a U.S. organization that monitors extremist websites, said jihadists were celebrating the attacks on social media.

An elderly man believed to be in his 60s was found naked on top of an uncompleted storey building at the Adentan taxi rank on Monday dawn.
The graybeard mysterious man, identified as Richard Ahamah, was spotted on top of the building by some neighbours at Monday dawn when they raised an alarm for others to catch a glimpse of the ill-looking old man.
In an eyewitness account, scores of people who gathered at the scene wanted to lynch the old man whom they accused as a wizard who had been exposed by a powerful force, but Richard Ahamah was rescued from the angry mob and sent to the Adentan police station for further investigations.
Richard Ahamah was also prayed for by a team of prayer warriors returning from a night vigil.
The alleged wizard when rescued told the police that, he is not a wizard as claimed and gave a contact of his brother to be contacted for clarification.
Ernest Ahamah, his elder brother when reached by phone said his brother might have found himself on the rooftop due to excessive drinking of alcohol.
"He possibly might have taken in some alcohol," he said.

Street concert in Cremona
A couple of months ago I've been in Cremona with family and some friends. Cremona is the hometown of Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati... let's say it's the hometown of the violin. Music, mainly string music is everywhere. In other towns the signs in the street corners lead you to monuments, churches, museums... in Cremona signs lead you to the different luthiers' workshops. There are many of them, from many countries. Some of them keep the doors open so you can enter the workshop, see them at work and take some photos. Musicians from all over the world come here to commission their instruments.
At some moment we obviously came across with a bandstand in which a little group of young musicians played (really fine) Haendel's "Lascia ch'io pianga"...

Polyolefin sewer pipe systems have a service lifetime expectancy of at least 100 years.' This is the conclusion of a recent two-year project commissioned by TEPPFA and independently scrutinised by Professor Heinz Dragaun from the Technical School for higher education (TGM) in Vienna. The project involved the excavation of many samples from in-service pipe networks that were tested and assessed under meticulous laboratory conditions. The results of the analysis and findings of this work are expected to favourably influence those sewer operators faced with major capital investment in new or replacement networks.
Most European countries have their fair share of antiquated sewer networks.They not only leak and lack performance, they also need to be modernized or just replaced. But life expectancy is a critical factor in any investment decision. Polyolefin (polypropylene and polyethylene) systems have been used widely for over 40 years and compared to non-plastic pipe materials, they have consistently offered a longer term solution. However, whereas the life expectancy of polyolefin pipes has been discussed for many years, a definitive conclusion has never been determined. Until now, that is.
Tony Calton, TEPPFA's general manager is delighted with the project's outcome: "Designers, owners and operators of sewer networks can now be confident that these sewer systems will have an in-service life of at least one hundred years when materials, products and installation practices meet the appropriate requirements."
"The outcome is also vitally important for material suppliers, pipe manufacturers and contractors working closely with the sewer market. Clearly it will lend further appeal and allow polyolefin sewer pipes to be specified with increased confidence as they perform consistently throughout their very long asset life."
Conditions set out by the project team were rigorous and relied on 'long-term real-time data. For instance, tests included the excavation of pipes that had already been in use for up to 40 per cent of the proposed in-service lifetime. These tests demonstrated that no excessive deterioration or degradation has occurred over this time. Tony Calton notes that "although the oldest excavated pipes were manufactured using 'first generation' material formulations, a residual lifetime of more than 50 years was calculated. And we should also bear in mind that current formulations offer even greater lifetime performance than those earlier materials."
Other key factors were investigated throughout the duration of this project but these were found not to adversely affect life expectancy. These included the chemical composition of the sewer water, the temperature profile of sewer flows and variations in the kind of installation practices used. The influence of higher concentrations of sewer effluent that are typically associated with structured wall pipe systems was also examined. The full technical report and a summary technical report are available on the TEPPFA website.. A four-page leaflet outlining the project scope is also available through TEPPFA's company members and/or National association members. It is also important to note that this project was co-ordinated by TEPPFA in conjunction with LyondellBasell, Borealis and TGM (Austria).

Sherwood Forest
Dawn, November 18th
A Song of Sherwood
in the twilight, is Robin Hood awake?
Grey and ghostly shadows are gliding through the brake,
Shadows of the dappled deer, dreaming of the morn,
Dreaming of a shadowy man that winds a shadowy horn.
Robin Hood
is here again: all his merry thieves
Hear a ghostly bugle-note shivering through the leaves,
Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
merry England has kissed the lips of June:
All the wings of fairyland were here beneath the moon,
Like a flight of rose-leaves fluttering in a mist
Of opal and ruby and pearl and amethyst.
merry England is waking as of old,
With eyes of blither hazel and hair of brighter gold:
For Robin Hood is here again beneath the bursting spray
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
Love is in
the greenwood building him a house
Of wild rose and hawthorn and honeysuckle boughs:
Love is in the greenwood, dawn is in the skies,
And Marian is waiting with a glory in her eyes.
Hark! The
dazzled laverock climbs the golden steep!
Marian is waiting: is Robin Hood asleep?
Round the fairy grass-rings frolic elf and fay,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
Oberon, rake away the gold,
Rake away the red leaves, roll away the mould,
Rake away the gold leaves, roll away the red,
And wake Will Scarlett from his leafy forest bed.
Friar Tuck
and Little John are riding down together
With quarter-staff and drinking-can and grey goose-feather.
The dead are coming back again, the years are rolled away
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
over Sherwood the south wind blows.
All the heart of England his in every rose
Hears across the greenwood the sunny whisper leap,
Sherwood in the red dawn, is Robin Hood asleep?
Hark, the
voice of England wakes him as of old
And, shattering the silence with a cry of brighter gold
Bugles in the greenwood echo from the steep,
Sherwood in the red dawn, is Robin Hood asleep?
Where the deer are gliding down the shadowy glen
All across the glades of fern he calls his merry men--
Doublets of the Lincoln green glancing through the May
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day--
Calls them
and they answer: from aisles of oak and ash
Rings the Follow! Follow! and the boughs begin to crash,
The ferns begin to flutter and the flowers begin to fly,
And through the crimson dawning the robber band goes by.
Robin! Robin! Robin! All his merry thieves
Answer as the bugle-note shivers through the leaves,
Calling as he used to call, faint and far away,
In Sherwood, in Sherwood, about the break of day.
The photos of Sherwood Forest and Edwinstowe Church were taken a couple years ago by Sylvia Greenleaf, at dawn on November 18th, the date that the 18th century antiquarian Joseph Ritson assigned to Robin Hood's death.
The poem "A Song of Sherwood" was written by Alfred Noyes in 1913.
The photo of Will Scarlet's purported 'grave stone' in Blidworth churchyard was taken by Allen W. Wright, webmaster of "Robin Hood: Bold Outlaw of Barnesdale and Sherwood":

If you look older than 18, this Emmy winning director/choreographer wants nothing to do with you.
If you are, or look younger, than he will be all over you and you better know that he is going to try and get you to have sex with him. If you don't, he will just sexually assault you until you can push him off.
Just ask the stars of that cable television movie franchise why they won't make another installment even though their careers could use the boost?
It is because he gets to decide if he wants to direct it and they had enough of his terror to last a lifetime.
Do you remember that blind item I wrote a few weeks back about a movie that this foreign born former A+ list superhero made back in the day and how the whole set was just people having sex and being out of control?
Guess who worked on that movie and tried to have sex with everyone?
Yep, this jerk.

McDonald's Corp.'s same-store sales fell 1.3 percent in the U.S. in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, thanks largely to tough comparisons, the company said on Monday.
Same-store sales increased 2.7 percent worldwide, however, while diluted earnings per share increased 10 percent to $1.44 from $1.31 — beating analysts' expectations for the quarter. McDonald's stock fell slightly in early trading.
Global same-store sales increased 3.8 percent on the year, the best year for the company since 2011.
"Throughout 2016, we worked diligently to lay the groundwork for our long-term future," CEO Steve Easterbrook said in a statement. "Our efforts yielded a more streamlined and focused organization that generated solid fourth quarter and full-year results."
Net income fell 1 percent to $1.19 billion from $1.21 billion. Revenues fell 5 percent to $6 billion from $6.3 billion. Refranchising, general and administrative cuts and various one-time costs and revenue sources influenced the numbers.
McDonald's introduction of all-day breakfast in 2015, combined with mild weather, led to 5.7 percent same-store sales growth in the fourth quarter of that year. While the company added items to that menu in 2016, it couldn't quite match up to that performance.
The company said on Monday that it plans to focus on increasing traffic in 2017. Yet Easterbrook noted that the company faces a similar issue in the first quarter of this year, when year-ago same-store sales increased 5.4 percent thanks to better weather and all-day breakfast as well as the introduction of the McPick value menu.
Same-store sales increased 2.8 percent in its International Lead segment, including more mature foreign markets. They increased 4.7 percent in the company's High Growth segment, thanks in part to strong performance in China. Same-store sales increased 11.1 percent in the company's Foundational markets thanks to strong performance in Japan and certain markets in Latin America.

Getting access to credit may seem easy these days with banks advertising about so many loan products and credit cards every day. However when one actually applies for a loan, he may find that getting a loan may not be just as easy especially if he has a poor CIBIL score. A CIBIL score of 750 (out of 900) is considered satisfactory by lenders.
With the central banking authority of India, RBI having made it mandatory for lenders to look at an individual's credit score as a part of his credit assessment process, a person with poor CIBIL score may find it difficult to get access to formal credit from lending institutions. This makes it absolutely necessary for any individual to make a continual attempt at improving his CIBIL score. So are there no loans for bad credit score? That may not be necessarily true.
In recent times there has been a spurt in a lending process called peer to peer (P2P) lending that can indeed be a boon to people with a poor credit score. Simply put it the process of an individual lender giving out a loan to an individual borrower ad charging an interest for the same. In India P2P companies have risen significantly over the past few years.
Poor credit score? P2P lending may be the right solution for you
Currently there are about 30 P2P lending start-ups in India, from where an individual can get loans ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 30 lakhs. The tenors on such loans can range from 6 months to 5 years and the interest on such loans can vary from 12% to 36% depending upon the credit profile of the individual. The question that one is most likely to ask at this point is how is P2P loan better as a loan for low credit score? The answer is, while P2P lending portals will look at your CIBIL score, they may not reject your application on account of a poor credit score.
Young people often fumble with credit handling in the earliest days, where they may turn delinquent on a loan or more often than not on a credit card. Not only does it leave a mark on the CIBIL report, the individual may find it difficult to enhance his credit score even after putting in a lot of effort to make amends. If a need for credit arises in the meanwhile, he may find formal lending institutions closing doors on him, on account of his poor CIBIL score. This is when a P2P lender may come to his rescue.
The lending process
If no bank or NBFC is giving you a loan on account of your low credit score, you can approach a P2P portal of your choice and register yourself as a borrower. You will then be required to state your requirement for the loan and provide the necessary documents such as your bank statements, your CIBIL report your salary slip, your employer's details. The lender will look at your documents and assess your credit worthiness based on your profile and intent. Even if your credit score is low, a P2P lender is likely to look at other factor such as your salary, the credentials of your employer and also your social status.
Based on your credit assessment which places a high value on your social score, the lender may give you the whole or a part of the loan that you have stated in your requirement. You are required to pay a one-time processing fee similar to a bank that may range from 0.5 to 1.5% of the loan amount. Like a bank or a NBFC there is fixed date stipulated on which you will be required to pay the EMI and in case of a delay or non-repayment additional penalties will be charged that may go up to 24% per annum.
The risk factors
While a person with a low credit score can indeed benefit from P2P lending as he gets a loan for a low credit score, there is a high risk factor attached to it, as there is no regulator currently regulating this space, although media reports suggest that the Reserve Bank of India is aware of the rising popularity of this platform. The risk is therefore palpable for both the lender and the borrower.
While a lender can put in any clause or condition that may not be in the best interest of the borrower, while a lender has no way of knowing whether the borrower in question is overleveraging himself but going to many such platforms and taking small loans from each. As P2P lending is not recognised as a formal lending process, the details of the same do not get recorded as credit information in one's CIBIL report, therefore lenders too must tread carefully.
While there is no safety net in place as of now, there is a palpable expectation that a regulatory framework will be put in place sooner than later. Till then, borrowers with a poor credit profile may make best use of this platform to get a credit line. However, even if you are utilising the benefits of P2P lending you should not cease your efforts to improve CIBIL score. By increasing your credit score, you will improve your chances of getting access to formal credit in the future.

hhi Cathy,
I believe I will be facing the same situation in a short time. Our lovely selfie obsessed communist prime minister is opening the borders, not funding the health care system in Canada to accommodate the thousands of people walking in illegally As I predicted, we are being EUROPE-ED and Canadians will be tolld to accept their fate.
I don't want to bum anyone out, but the future I see is not one I want to participate in. I think it's going to be a freak show I love one of Leonard Cohen's lines Give me Christ or Hiroshima, I see the future and it is murder.
I have made spiritual peace with this and I am not bothered.I really do think this guy is the reincarnatiion of Edgar Casey, and I find teachings like this to be what I consider truthful I think a lot of people are going to be shocked to find out that they have a soul And I am not into letting these crazy mad scientists, the Googlle gods to remake me in their image I have a very strong feeling that it is time to escape this crazy planet before they make an electromagnetic net around the earth Crazy?

While I recognise the constitutional limitations of the office in which reverently I serve, I feel that it is also my responsibility to the people of Hulstria and Gao-Soto to hold their elected representatives to account. It has been over a year since the last election and still no majority government has been formed. I appeal to all parties to, whatever your ideology, to work for the betterment of our country. It is your democratic, and moral, obligation to ensure a stable outcome to the scenario that faces you now.
Obviously the result for my party in last year's election was disappointing, none of us quite expected so many of our colleagues to lose their seats. Nevertheless, the National Democrats entered into coalition talks with an open mind and ready to compromise with the other parties. What we have seen over the past twelve months, however, has been an affront to the people of this country. Neither Civic Voice or Blaue Welle have entered negotiations with the same good intentions and have effectively paralysed the political process.

FREE eBooks: You Still Have Until Midnight
My patience with Hostgator's technical snafus is running out (don't ask) ~ but YOU still have until midnight tonight to claim your FREE copies of the last four ebooks in my serial novel Shadows Present . . .
Ordinarily, you would be seeing this post on my website: RenaissanceWomanInk.com. Unfortunately, my hosting program ~ after seven years ~ has decided to be glitchy (any suggestions for a more reliable and user friendly hosting program are welcome!)
This is the post I created and launched yesterday after the problem was "fixed": Read below, or click the link to download the pdf with live links (renaissancewomanink-com-free-stories-weekend-just-because).
Now, I think I'll go research hosting programs . . . Happy Sunday, everyone!
See you on the beach.
Free Stories Weekend: Just Because
renaissancewomanink.com /free-stories-weekend-just-because/
Yes, my 90 days of Free Story Friday (or Saturday, or you know, whenever ) has ended, but here's the thing:
All the of the ebooks in my serial novel Shadows Present, will be moving out of Kindle Unlimited next week, and it occurred to me that the last 4 had two unused days that they could be offered for free. Seemed like a waste not to use them. Then I thought ~ well, that would be weird, offering the last 4 for free when the first three are out of free days.
Still, I reasoned. There may be people who downloaded the first 3 at some point and missed the days when the last 4 were free. Out Christmas shopping, perhaps ~ and too exhausted from fighting the Black Friday weekend crowds to remember that, oh, shoot, I was going to download the rest of that serial novel that looked so good!
So, in case that was you ~ and just because I hate wasting opportunities to get a great story in front of more people for free ~ here are the links to the last 4 ebooks of Shadows Present. Download them for FREE from the links below.
Whether you're new to the novel or this just reminds you that you were going to read it and haven't gotten to it yet ~ I hope you do read Shadows Present, either via the free downloads, or before it goes out of Kindle Unlimited on the 6th.
Here are the last 4 to get you started.
Shadow Cast: Book Four of Shadows Present
Dark Descending: Book Five of Shadows Present
Valley of the Shadow: Book Six of Shadows Present
Shadows Present: Book Seven of Shadows Present
Hope the story takes you away like it still does me ~ and hey, let me know if it does! Happy reading!

It Really Isn't, You know
As the divisiveness, hate speech, violence, and all the negative energy that characterized the campaign continues, post election, I keep hearing the phrase "it is what it is."
I've been hearing that phrase for some years now, and almost always in a tone of (at least momentary) belligerence or resignation.
The fact is, no matter who you voted for or against, no matter if you were among those who felt there was no good choice, but still did your best to educate yourself and vote responsibly anyway, the results of the election were never going to put an end to the divisiveness, aggression, and even violence – regardless of which of the two "won."
In the words of popular culture: haters gonna hate.
People who commit violent acts are not doing it because their candidate lost or the other won. Normal people don't change into violent people overnight, and certainly not because the candidate of their choice lost the election. They don't commit violent acts as representative of a specific group. Just like everyone else, they behave the way they do because that's the people they've chosen to be. The election results are just the current convenient excuse.
As is true for everything in your life, what happens from here is your choice.
You can rail against the perceived injustice, you can mourn or be fearful at "the end of the world as we know it," or you can choose to see the situation as an opportunity. An opportunity to become more involved in the way you, your loved ones, and your community are governed and served by the people elected to office, more involved in the process by which those officials are elected, more involved in working to change what needs changed and repairing or replacing what no longer works.
No presidential candidate can do all that, no matter what they promise. It's up to you.
There is no birth without pain, there is no change without destruction, there is no moving forward without leaving something behind. But you get to choose whether you'll be part of the new life, part of positive changes that have us growing and moving forward, or if you'll stay behind, locked in the old paradigm of "us" versus "them," of "my way or the highway," of "might makes right" and mob rule. YOU decide ~ not whoever was elected.
Because it really isn't: "it is what it is" ~ end of story. In truth, it is what you decide it is, and where you decide to go from there.
Your choice. Always has been.
Share and Enjoy

2008 Ford F-250 International Threat: Part 4
High-Pressure Fuel System
After a six-month hiatus, we've rounded up all the parts needed to tackle the high-pressure fuel system on our 6.4L Power Stroke. In order for the 2008 Ford F-250 to make the 900-rwhp number we want to see, we'll be calling on a set of 100-percent nozzles to get us there. However, knowing that without the ability to maintain adequate rail pressure our horsepower goal would be unreachable, we're also employing two high-pressure fuel pumps. This combination of parts has proven capable of making 1,200 hp and has propelled the Rudy's Diesel Performance Pro Street truck to 9-second quarter-mile times.
The horsepower junkies at Elite Diesel Engineering once again supplied us with top-quality hard parts this month and, in addition to its injector nozzles and Twin K16 system, we'll be running the company's Stage 2 ported fuel rails. Because it has to be installed before the beltdriven K16, one of Elite's Z-Max Jr. intake manifolds will make its way onto the engine. With the high-pressure fueling taken care of this time, we'll move on to the low-pressure system in Part 5. After that, it'll be time to add the turbos and get this thing to the track.
Elite Diesel Engineering's Twin K16 system can be had with a new high-pressure fuel pump ($3,700) or without ($2,600), which is the route we took. Elite's Twin K16 kit comes with new passenger-side high-pressure fuel lines, pulleys (including idlers), a belt tensioner, ¼-inch-thick stainless steel mounting brackets (which we painted gloss black), supply and return fuel hoses, a high-pressure fuel pump wire harness, and all hardware needed to install it.
Each factory piezo electronic injector in our 6.4L was fitted with an eight-hole, 100-percent-over-stock nozzle from Elite Diesel Engineering. The combination of Elite's 100-percent nozzles and Twin K16 system provides more than enough fuel for 1,000 rwhp, so the 900hp number we want is actually a fairly conservative goal. But at 7,100 pounds, the standard cab Super Duty should be able to get into the 10s in the quarter-mile at the 900hp mark.
Once the nozzles were fitted to the injectors, the injectors were installed in their respective bores. Not wanting to skimp on a fresh build, we started with brand-new injectors (and glow plugs) from Ford.
To increase the volume of fuel making it to the injectors, we're utilizing a set of Elite Diesel's Stage 2 ported fuel rails. The Stage 2 modification goes beyond simply the enlarged inlet and outlets employed in the Stage 1s but increases the rail's overall capacity by 25 percent. More fuel on tap, waiting to be used by the injectors, means more horsepower potential.
Since we're running stock cylinder heads in our build, Elite's Z-Max Jr. intake manifold was best suited for our needs. The Z-Max Jr. features partial porting to open up the intake passages within the stock manifold, and internal airflow restrictions that exist are removed, such as the fastener bosses. Additionally, the passenger side of the manifold is notched in order to clear a much larger atmospheric turbo in a factory-based compound configuration.
Because our factory K16 only had 62,000 miles on it, we're reusing it, along with a brand-new K16 from the local Ford dealer. The pumps will swap positions, however, with the used pump serving as the front, beltdriven unit and the new pump sitting in the valley. We're doing this for serviceability reasons, in case the used K16 ever has an issue.
Prior to installing the high-pressure fuel pump cover at the rear of the lifter valley, the feed fitting supplied in Elite's Twin K16 kit was installed. This had to be done first because with the cover on there is no way to get a socket around the fitting. Note: all the K16's fittings are metal to metal (no O-rings).
Next, a new high-pressure fuel pump cover kit was installed (PN 8C3Z-9G805-B). This kit stops the wire rub problem that's common on early 6.4L engines by incorporating a mesh wire loom around the wires that rest next to the pump.
To ensure the high-pressure fuel pump cover wiring harness connection points never unplug (which can happen due to the hot conditions they're exposed to), Ford supplies heavy-duty zip ties that keep the female and male plugs permanently attached.
After the timing gears were hit with a coating of oil, the rubber gasket was installed in the high-pressure fuel pump cover and it was lowered onto the engine. To clean up the look of the engine, the rocker boxes, valve covers, and high-pressure fuel pump cover were powdercoated silver.
Elite mills out the factory 6.4L intake manifold bolt bosses when creating the Z-Max Jr. manifold. This opens up the manifold considerably but requires ½-inch pipe plugs installed up top, and Allen bolts internally. Both the pipe plugs and Allen bolts were hit with Loctite before being installed (you don't want the bottom intake manifold fasteners backing out and getting sucked into the engine).
From there, the factory fuel return lines from the heads were installed, followed by the crankcase vent hose, A/C compressor (white arrow), and front accessory bracket.
After that, the A/C belt tensioner, A/C compressor belt (Gates PN K060400), and alternator were installed (all brand-new), followed by the supplied K16 brackets and Grade 8 bolts. One bracket installs utilizing an engine bracket bolt, and the other bracket connects to the first bracket (and uses the top alternator mounting bolt to secure it). Keep in mind: Once it's all said and done with Elite's Twin K16 kit, there are three belts and tensioners on the engine.
The supplied idler pulleys install with spacers behind them. This allows the factory serpentine belt to follow its same routing.
Next up, Elite's crank pulley was installed. It's secured via three anodized bolts (two long and one short bolt).
Following the install of the second belt tensioner on top of the A/C belt tensioner (red arrow), we added the factory water pump (yellow arrow) and then snaked the serpentine belt into place. In the future (possibly even before the truck's initial startup), we plan to install a Bullet Proof Diesel water pump assembly to hold up under high rpm and live in competition use (it features an aluminum impeller vs. the factory plastic one that's known to crack).
With a fresh coat of gloss black paint, the 62,000-mile factory K16 was placed on the previously installed bracket. Three dowels in the bottom of the pump simply line up with the bosses on the bracket. After that, the third and final belt tensioner, which features a ribbed pulley to drive the K16 pulley, was installed on the K16 bracket.
Elite's K16 pulley installs via a reverse-thread mounting bolt, which we torqued to the recommended 58-ft-lb specification. Once tight, the crank-to-K16 belt was fitted to the engine.
All the factory fittings were removed from the factory K16 pump and replaced with the fittings supplied by Elite. As you can see here, there is only one feed fitting now (instead of two).
Three of Elite's supplied high-pressure fuel lines meet at the rear of the engine, on the passenger side of the valley-mounted K16. The long, high-pressure feed line running from the front K16 routes along the intake manifold in the valley and tees into a line that runs to the factory location K16 and a line that connects to the passenger-side fuel rail. The driver side of the engine retains all the factory high-pressure feed lines.
The last order of business was connectingthe supplied high-pressure fuel pump wire harness to the valley-mounted K16 and the primary engine wire harness. This harness allows both fuel control actuators (on the K16 pumps) to share the workload in creating the pressure desired by the the rail pressure sensor. For example, if the rail pressure sensor wants to see 20,000 psi, both K16 actuators will in theory create 10,000 psi apiece.
With the Twin K16 system now in the books, we'll be moving on to the low-pressure fuel system next time. As you can see here, we've already started mocking it up. Notice the Elite Diesel fuel distribution block, braided supply line, and rubber return hose. Stay tuned for Part 5.

Discussion in 'The Duck Hunters Forum' started by sdkidaho, Dec 29, 2017.
Why don't people drive on the ice? Surely in Northern idaho it gets cold enough.
Here are some boring icefishing pictures. Some are from Illinois, some Lake of the Woods. And yes, some involve drinking, there is actually a bar out on the lake on Lake of The Woods, it's called the Igloo. I included a map of the huts for the resort, check out the mileages to the markers on the right. This is miles out, once you get on the lake.
Once the last goose leaves the state or the law makes me stop hunting,.......luv me some ice fishing. Looking at a trip to lake Erie for a chance at monster walleye in early March.
More of LOTW
Also, in the winter is when we drop our brushpiles. Much easier to cut a hole in the ice with a chainsaw, and drop them in.
There are a few added bonuses to doing this:
Back when I was a kid, we used to fish rainbow trout at Pactola Lake in the hills. Grandpa always used a treble hook, canned whole kernel corn and a salmon egg. Used to catch the crap out of them until Northern Pike got introduced.
I'm probably going out somewhere this weekend, it's going to be so cold the geese won't move until 20 minutes before sunset. I'm long over the sit in a field all day when it's negative temps.
Should be ice fishing the river by next weekend. Herd there was 7" of ice down in chamberlain.
I think the answer to your question will depend on whether your uncles define "all the gear" like the guys in the pics from @HaydenHunter or like @1duckmaster. When you went ice fishing when you were 12 did you go with those same uncles?
Yes, but back then it was snowplanes and snowmachines to get on the ice, and I don't remember having anything to get in out of the weather. They're telling me they have plenty of poles, tents, fish finder, etc...
The reservoir that I think we'll be going to has trout, kokanee, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and walleye. I haven't ever seen the guys with anything but trout in their pictures though.
Pretty technical now. Electric ice augers , vexilar and underwater cameras, specialized rods and cold water line, insulated pop up tents, portable heaters, makes everything comfortable. The best series showing ice fishing up our way is by this guy. I linked a few videos for you.
These videos are all shot within about 35 minutes from my house.
Just bring booze.
(They don't call it icedrinkin' for nothing)
