stuck head
Started disassembling the replacement engine for the steel wheeled H last night and made good headway on taking off all the external parts. However, could not budge the head after all the nuts were removed from the studs holding down the head. Any suggestions on how to loosen the head?
Also need to know how to remove the pulley from the crankshaft. I don't have my shop manual yet, it's coming, but while I'm there, I want to remove the internal guts from this engine and get the block cleaned and analyzed. I know I need to start purchasing some good tools, so I'm open to suggestions from necessary items to add to the tool box when working on farm engines.
Re: stuck head
First thing to do is soak everything well with Sea Foam , Kroil or your favorite. I would try to crank the engine over if I could to see if compression would help. I would also use a torch on the studs as well locking two thin nuts on each stud and with an air wrench try to loosen and tighten a number times to see if I could remove some of them or at least break the rust binding the threads.
Others more knowledgable than I may have better ideas.

Re: stuck head
Joey, the head is stuck to the head gasket, and that gasket is stuck to the block. It's not complicated, it is just simply stuck, as it should be when the gasket is doing its' job. If you already have the manifold off, just take a long pry bar, length of pipe, etc., stick one end into a port on the head, and then lift on the bar. The head should come loose. If it doesn't, you have missed a bolt or nut somewhere.
To get that crankshaft pulley off, you need a good puller. There just isn't any other way.
Re: stuck head
If the crankshaft pulley is a press fit like a cub. You will need a puller setup like used for a cub or you will break the pulley. I used a bering seperator behind the pulley to get my cub's off.

Re: stuck head
The guys are right!---pulley is VERY easily broken!---How do I know?---GUESS! LOL!!! thanks; sonny
Re: stuck head
Got the stuck head off last night, but it took some patience and wiggling. Considering that the engine came from the scrap yard with a busted oil pan, the block seemed to be in pretty good shape. The pistons are stuck, with number one sleeve being in the worst shape. Continued disassembly last night, removing the rear seal from the crank, removed the oil pump and started removing the caps(?) from the crankshaft. From the way the crankshaft is frozen into position, I couldn't get to the bolts holding the caps on cylinders 2 & 3 because it was turned inward towards the block wall. I wanted to take out the crank shaft completely and then knock out the pistons and sleeves, but I'm going to have to get a different wrench to access the bolts that are hard to reach.
I don't think of taking a camera with me to the shop, but I'll try to remember to bring one this evening and take some pictures of the inside of the engine and let y'all see what I'm dealing with. This is my first engine rebuild, so please put up with me as I pepper the board with questions. I know that can be taken care of with .........pictures!
First question: What tools do y'all recommend as a must have for the tool box? Although I have an old torque wrench, I'm planning on buying a new wrench, the kind that clicks. Suggestions on brand?
Thanks for the help, guys.
Re: stuck head
Joey, remove all of the crank main caps. This will allow the crank to drop down and be rotated to a different position so that you can easily access those other two rod caps.
Re: stuck head
Glad to hear you got it off without damage.
I thought I'd go ahead and post my method just in case someone else needs to get a head unstuck. I had a 1937 Lincoln V-12 that had aluminum heads. The heads were very fragile. An old timer neighbor said the best way to get heads loose was to take the spark plugs out, fill each cylinder with as much 1/4 inch cotton rope (the kind they used to use on window weights, usually available at a good hardware store) you can poke into the spark plug hole. Then carefully turn the engine over. with the crank (not the starter). The head comes loose very easily.

Re: stuck head
That rope trick also works to keep a valve closed if you need to replace a broken valve spring.
Re: stuck head
Joey, glad you got the head off. Sounds like it will be a great restoration.
I searched around and bought a Kobalt torque wrench at Lowe's. It has a lifetime guarantee and that sold me. Craftsman is only guaranteed for a very short time, something like 60 days. I am very pleased with the Kobalt.
Good luck with the project.

Re: stuck head
I've been reading some various articles about torque wrenches and came across some good posts about the Kobalt wrench. I may take a ride over to Lowe's this weekend..........
Update on the engine teardown.....crankshaft pulley came off with no problem at all using a 3 arm puller, PB Blaster and a little heat from a propane torch. However, the crankshaft is still in - took off the main caps but still can't get the crankshaft to rotate enough to reach the bolts on the bearing caps. I'm going to look for offset wrenches while I'm at Lowe's.....
Re: stuck head
I assume the engine does not turn because of one or both of the remaining pistons being rusted into place. Since the block is apparently going to a machine shop anyway, take it to them with 2 the rod caps still in place. They will have the experience and tools to get them loose much easier than you can, and with less chance of doing further damage. I like to do as much of my work myself as I can, but sometimes it is best to go to a professional.

Re: stuck head
Have you tried a 3/8" drive and a deep well socket with a couple of extensions to reach the rod cap bolts?
S&K wrenches/hand tools have a life time warranty.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: stuck head
The crankshaft will not come out or even drop out of the main journals until the engine is removed from the tractor, and then you still need to remove the engine front cover as well as the flywheel. Once that is done, you should be able to lift the crank up out of the main journals, rotate it 180 degrees, and then drop it back into the journals. The rod caps will now be in a position for easy access to the stud nuts.
Re: stuck head
The engine is mounted to an engine stand and the bottom of the block is topside. Flywheel is removed, as well as the crankshaft pulley and the front cover. That's where I left it last time I worked on it. For lack of a better explanation, the crankshaft is tilted to the side, with the innermost nut on the bearing cap almost against the wall of the engine block. There's not enough room to put a wrench in, much less a socket. I'm looking for an offset wrench, which might work.
The pistons are stuck - not sure if all are stuck, but nothing will move. Tried to lift the crankshaft a little, and it moves a little, but no rotation to bring the bearing caps topside.
Don't know all of the terminology, but I have to remove the gears that were under the front cover, and then remove the camshaft. Any warnings I need to know about?

Stayed at Ramada Inn - Metairie, took the Stay and Cruise package. Nice clean rooms, elevators smell bad like rotting fish, probably standing water from Issac. Secure free parking, several cameras monitor lot. Good buffet breakfast. Provided ride to port, taxi required to return.
We are VIP, so priority embarkation and debarkation went quickly and smoothly. Didn't even have time to eat a cookie on embarkation. This is our 4th B2B and we were very pleased with cruise transition process. Got our new Sail&Sign cards the night before.
Boat is well maintained, crew, housekeeping staff and dining staff were excellent. We are not foodies, but many on the first half were. No problems, we just stay out of their way.
The beach vendors disrupted beach side lunch in Progresso on first visit and did a boat day on second visit.
In Cuzumel, we did Islandtours/Hireadriver with Gerry. Excellent tour of east side of Island, several photo ops, climbed to top of lighthouse. Had an excellent lunch at Bonita Playa restaurant with an awesome view for all. Did some shopping prior to re-boarding the Elation. Highly recommend the tour, they will customize to your likes. On second visit, we visited Toro's Place restaurant on Modecon and 5th Calle. Been here several times, excellent food, good tequila selection and the best view of the Modecon, beach and ports in San Miguel.

Is there a way to directly call an iLogic rule from within an add-in?
I have written an add-in that manipulates parameters in various sub-assemblies and now need to call various iLogic rules which the designers have written to act on the parameter changes.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The rules should run automatically when the parameters change. Is that not working the way you expect? If so, it is possible to run rules explicitly from an add-in. Is your add-in in VB.NET or C#? What version of Inventor?
Sorry we are running 2011 (although I am testing in 2011 & 2012) and the add-in is written in c#. So far the rules are not running automatically but I would like more control and call the rules directly if possible anyway. Longer term the "Don't run automatically" will be set in all the rules.
Here's the way I've run rules using C#
//For Rules in documents int rVal = 0; iLogicRule iRule = iLogicAutomationObject.GetRule(IVDocument, ruleName); if (iRule != null) { rVal = iLogicAutomationObject.RunRuleDirect(iRule); //For external rules int rVal = 0; rVal = iLogicAutomationObject.RunExternalRule(IVDocument, ruleName);
Here's a sample C# class that links to the automation interface in the iLogic addin, and has functions to run rules. A disadvantage of this direct linking method is that you need separate versions of your addin for Inventor 2011 and 2012.
If you don't want separate versions, you can use COM late binding instead. That requires more (and messier) code.
Perfect. Thanks very much.

Last night's NATO rocket attack on Tripoli is inexplicable. A civilian metropolitan area of around 2 million people, Tripoli sustained 22 to 25 bombings last night, rattling and breaking windows and glass and shaking the foundation of my hotel. The sky flashed red with explosions and more rockets from NATO jets cut through low clouds before exploding. I could taste the thick dust stirred up by the exploded bombs. I immediately thought about the depleted uranium munitions reportedly being used here – along with white phosphorus.

Swimmers brave chill for New Year seaside shuffle
9:58am Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News
ABOUT 80 hardy souls – all wearing fancy dress – celebrated the New Year by taking a dip in the sea at Scarborough.
The traditional plunge on the South Bay beach, organised by Scarborough Lions Club, was blessed by glorious sunshine yesterday, and temperatures soared to a heady 6C.
Lions spokesman Alan Deacon said: "It's been absolutely beautiful.
"The number taking part has doubled from last year.
"There are people who have come from as far away as Edinburgh and Dorset. The fancy dress ranged from Superwoman to a witch."
Mr Deacon estimated a crowd of about 2,000 onlookers had gathered on the beach to watch the spectacle.
Sponsorship and bucket collections looked set to raise at least £1,500. Three-quarters of that will go to each individual's chosen charity and the remaining quarter helps the Lions' charities for the year.

A former nuclear plant engineer who remains at-large was convicted Wednesday of a carjacking, despite not being in custody.
Michael Buhrman, 32, of Coal City was tried on felony carjacking charges even though he disappeared last September while free on bond. DuPage County prosecutors believe he may have fled the country.
A jury found Buhrman guilty of aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm, according to a statement from the DuPage County State's Attorney's office. The jury deliberated for about 45 minutes before reaching a verdict.
A masked Buhrman approached a woman sitting in her parked car in a Woodridge parking lot about 9:55 p.m. on May 9, 2012, pointed a loaded .45 caliber handgun at her head and ordered her out of the car, prosecutors said.
Woodridge police quickly captured Buhrman in a separate parking lot and arrested him still wearing the mask and with the gun on the passenger's seat, according to prosecutors.
Buhrman was initially ordered held on a $200,000 bond and outfitted with a GPS monitoring device upon release, the state's attorney's office said.
He posted the required 10 percent on May 11, 2012, and authorities discovered on Sept. 28, 2012, that he had removed his GPS device and fled.
He vanished after allegedly telling a girlfriend he had collected $100,000 in gold bars and planned to travel to Chile to avoid being prosecuted, court records show.
"Nearly one year ago, Michael Buhrman pointed a loaded weapon at an innocent woman's head and stole her car just for the thrill of it," State's Attorney Robert Berlin said in the statement.
A pre-sentencing hearing will be held May 15.

Question: I have a pie chart that is plotting correctly, but the labels of the legends are incorrect. My chart data is not in simple columns and rows, but rather selected cells within the data. I have tried changing many options but can't seem to get the labels to display correctly. I would like to create the chart from this spreadsheet so I don't have to re-enter my data in contiguous columns and rows.
Answer: In looking at the spreadsheet, I first looked at the chart data (Chart Design tab and Select Data) and tried changing the Legend Entries (series), by clicking on the cells in the data. When I changed it, the chart label changed on just one label. I tried switching Row/Column, which did not work either. So I created another table referencing the cells used in the chart so that it was in contiguous rows and columns. I added data labels (from the Layout tab) selecting best fit. Doing this, the chart labels were correct and the legend was correct. Even though this solved the problem, we were still puzzled how to do this with non-contiguous data. So in looking at the contiguous chart data that was plotted correctly, we discovered that we needed to delete the series 2, 3 and 4 from the Legend Entries, leaving only series 1, and edit the" horizontal category axis labels" section from the Select Data options for that remaining series, by selecting the non-contiguous cells (holding down the Ctrl key).
So many times we spend a lot of time struggling with a problem but could be more productive by taking a break from the problem by taking a short walk, or trying an easier (workaround), or getting another point of view. I often find solutions or clues by "googling" my questions.

Molyneux extends Accrington Stanley loan from Crewe
Updated 5:16pm Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport
LEE Molyneux will remain with Accrington Stanley until April after extending his loan deal from Crewe Alexandra.
The midfielder, who celebrates his 25th birthday today, has made five appearances for the club - scoring once - since returning from Gresty Road.
The extension takes Molyneux up to the maximum 93 days permitted under the 'emergency loan' scheme.
"Confidence-wise it's brilliant knowing that the manager and the staff are backing me," he said.
"I've got a good rapport with the fans and they know that I love being at Accrington, they love me being here and over the next few weeks until the end of the season I hope I can score some more goals and keep improving my performances.
"As I said when I first came back it felt like coming home. I feel settled again now. Playing games is the most important thing for me but especially being at Accy with your mates.
"They're not just like team-mates or work colleagues, I've got genuine friends here."

Hi: 21° Lo:9°
By Ian Dipple Friday 21 February 2014 Updated: 21/02 16:16
PLANS to cut one of the part-time crews from Redditch Fire Station have been temporarily put on hold after an eleventh hour bid to give the service more money was approved.
Councillors were set to rubber stamp proposals put forward by Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service at a meeting on Wednesday (February 19) to cut £4million from the authority's budget over the next three years including £1.7million from the frontline.
It would have seen the loss of five engines across the two counties, including one of the retained crews at Redditch, leaving the borough with just one full-time and one part-time crew. The Fire Brigades Union estimates about 20 firefighters could be made redundant.
But Labour councillors made a last minute amendment to take £485,000 out of the service's £1.5million savings to lessen the impact of the cuts, despite objections from the Conservatives the budget for 2014/15 was balanced and any additional cash would be better spent in future years.
It has been suggested the new money could be enough to save the three retained crews under threat, including Redditch, but final details will not be known until the next meeting of the authority in June.
Coun Andy Fry said reducing Redditch's fire cover was dangerous in an area with high levels of deprivation, where fires are more likely, and cuts by fire services in the West Midlands and Warwickshire could leave the the town's fire station covering an area stretching from Wythall into parts of South Warwickshire.
"One whole time and one retained crew will not be enough to cope and that puts people in genuine danger. It's a deprived area and people are likely to die because of these cuts because there won't be the fire cover to keep them safe."
Julian Jenkins, chair of the Hereford and Worcester branch of the FBU, welcomed the move but added it was probably only delaying the inevitable. He warned the proposals for Redditch could result in an extra five minutes being added to the current fire crew response times of between eight and ten minutes.
"Are you happy you are going to wait five minutes longer while your house is filling with smoke or you are trapped in that car? People will get hurt, people will die."
Chief Fire Officer Mark Yates said they would re-examine their proposals following the authority's decision but warned the money would only last 12 months.
"The funding gap is still there, we still need to find £4million over the next three years," he said.
"Proposals to remove resources from the fire service is a dark day. I'm a fire officer of 30 years experience and I didn't join or become a chief fire officer to remove resources.
"But I did come to do my best job and if that best job involves removing resources to balance the budget then that is what I must do even though I don't personally wish to."

Boy, where do I start?
Okay, since yesterday the only thing I can do with my phone is.. Calling someone...
It started a few months ago with some minor probs, like sudden reboots. But things got worse... apps not working (starting up and then... nothing), photoalbum that isn't shown, 'system error', not capable of looking up contacts or getting into my phone memory, even text messaging or receiving text isn't possible anymore!
I've tried to update the phone via Nokia Suite, but there is no software update available. I could sync my pics (after restarting a couple of times), but not my contacts. Making a back-up and resetting the complete system could be the only thing I can try.. but then again... I'm gonna loose all my contacts in that way (since the system doesn't can get to them anymore). My apologies for my bad English, but I really hope someone can help with this *&%^&#@.
07-02-2012 8:16
Definitely do a full backup through Nokia suite if the phone still connects to PC!
If you are syncing to Outlook, have a separate contacts database within Outlook called "Phone contacts or Contacts mobile" or similar (Outlook>New folder>Contacts>contians contact items)
then point your synch profile in Nokia suite to that "Folder".
Nokia suite Menu Tools>Options>Phone sync (scroll to) Contacts>More Options> Microsoft Outlook>Change
At the very least, try to sync to Nokia suite or send contacts to USB key via (USB otg)...
Hope this helps...
07-02-2012 8:24
Although my phone SOMETIMES connects to Nokia Suite, I don't think I can preform a 'total back-up' because there is no synchronisation of my contacts possible.
Or does that work in another way?
I really, really, really don't wanna loose all my contacts!
What do you suggest after making a back-up? A total reset?
07-02-2012 8:56
Hi bregje666,
We suggest you to back up your phone as stated previously by using the following methods:
A) To USB Stick.
B) To PC by using Nokia Suite.
If you back up your contacts to Ovi by Nokia, you can easily copy your contacts to a new device. If your device is stolen or damaged, you can still access your contacts list online.
Select Menu > Contacts and Options > Nokia sync .
If you allow automatic synchronization, all the changes you make in the contacts list are automatically backed up to Nokia.
You need a Nokia account to do this. If you do not have an account, create one at www.nokia.com . You are also prompted to create an account, if you access any Nokia service using your device.
If you use Nokia Sync to automatically synchronize your contacts with Nokia, do not allow contact synchronization with any other service as there may be conflicts. Nokia Sync for contacts is not available if you have activated contacts synchronization in Mail for Exchange.
After doing this, Please perform the following reset on your phone. Keep into mind that this reset requires users to back up their device because all data will be wiped from the phone.
Hard Reset
*#7370# - Enter this into your keypad
12345 - Enter this when prompted for a passcode
Hope this helps with you issue.

Are you using Windows 7 or?
Are you using Office or?
How are you conncting to Nokia suite Cable or Bluetooth?
07-02-2012 13:27
I don't understand what you mean.
My Nokia works on Symbian Anna (softwareversion 024.001)
I always connect the phone on my laptop (windows 7, laptop-version) with the cable.
I have two mailaccounts synchronized with my phone, but not use any of the other Office-tools.
07-02-2012 18:40
Well did the hard reset and set the back up on the phone... didn't work.
Still the same problems... anyone got an idea?? Please??
08-02-2012 6:43
Your "total backup" would be to Nokia suite on the PC/Laptop or to th OVI cloud as suggested by the Nokia rep.
I asked my questions to get a handle on what OpSystem and Productivity suite you were using...
08-02-2012 11:19
Your suggesstion didn't help
I don't know what to do anymore.
I've send an email to Nokia Service Center, but haven't got a respons yet.
I almost feel like throwing the phone out of the windows... this is so frustrating!
Feeling tricked...gave a lot of money, received a lot of trouble...
This is nothing better then the stupid iPhone I had before this E7...
08-02-2012 22:38
why don't you try to copy all your contact to the sim card?
09-02-2012 11:15
I just got my E7 back from Nokiacare and was told there was nothing wrong after the agent told me he couldn't connect over USB!?
But, after my computers not recognising I tried to uninstall ALL Nokia software from PC, then re-plug. Lo' and behold it gets recognised, I install Nokia Suite, restore and all's working again...
Try the uninstall (from PC) if you haven't already...

The Batesville High School girls' varsity soccer team traveled to Liberty to open the 2013 season.
The Lady Bulldogs returned home with a convincing 14-0 victory over the Union County Lady Patriots.
"It was a great game all around for us and our defense remained solid throughout the game,BHS coach Kyle Laker commented. "It was nice to see all of our hard work all summer and for the beginning of the season to be reflected on the field."
The scoring started early and continued throughout the match with nine players scoring for Batesville. Batesville was led in scoring by sophomore Mary Elizabeth Elkins with three goals, including a header off a corner kick.
Also scoring for Batesville, Audrey Hall (2), Megan Doll (2), Brooke Rohlfing (2), Shelby Rupp, Mary Gutzwiller, Karsen Worthington, Sylvia Phillips, and Kelsey Gausman.. Batesville also had eight assists in the game with Phillips leading the way with three.

An advocate for homeless female veterans won the biggest bet of her life this week, skirting a deadline and securing the funds she needed to purchase a house.
Jaspen Boothe, the founder of Final Salute, a nonprofit, took a gamble last month when she outbid the competition and agreed to pay more than $450,000 for a single-family house at auction.
The bid was a gamble because neither Boothe nor her nonprofit had the money to pay.
FOX 5 was there when Boothe won the bid and the story we told brought the group some attention.
Boothe asked for donations and donate they did. $50,000 came in since our story first aired and then an email arrived from out of the blue.
"The email came from a trust attorney who represented the Karen Ruth Keesling Trust," said Final Salute founder Jaspen Boothe. "She was a former secretary of the Air Force and had dedicated her life to supporting women's equality."
The Keesling Trust wanted to help and it could not have come at a better time.
"I call it a miracle, a match made in heaven," said Boothe.
Boothe and Final Salute had been renting the house when they learned the nonprofit that owned the property had suddenly and without warning stopped paying the mortgage.
It was a crisis with a temporary fix when Boothe won the bid.
Now, her gratitude goes to the Keesling Trust.
"We will be doing a rededication and ribbon cutting and the home will be named in Karen's honor," Boothe said.
So now, Boothe says thanks to the donors, the trust and all of the help that came her way.
"Well, I definitely want to say that FOX is our media hero because there were definitely a lot of people who wouldn't have known," she said.
About a house that's been saved for the women who served.
On Saturday afternoon at the newly named Keesling House in Huntington, Boothe and Final Salute will thank the donors who made it happen.

High performance virtualization with VServer
The VServer project offers a secure and highly efficient virtualization alternative.
Para-virtualization systems such as Xen inhabit a popular corner of the virtualization landscape, but other technologies are also emerging. The Linux-VServer project represents a different approach to virtualization. VServer [1] and similar projects use a technique known as kernel-level isolation. Kernel-level isolation provides the virtual system with an isolated share of resources on the physical system. Other virtualization schemes typically require a separate kernel and separate memory and disk space for each virutal system. With VServer, on the other hand, the virtualization occurs at the interface of the virtual process with the host kernel. All virtual systems share the same kernel, and virtual processes actually run as regular processes on the host.

As of Friday, July 12, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
I saw her a few days ago. She is a pigeon who has made a nest in a space above the door that opens to our chapter room.
It was a good choice. The space offers shelter from the rain and wind and it is high enough that the bird should be safe. She is nesting on her eggs, though I am not sure how many eggs there are. I am guessing maybe two, from other nests I have seen over the years.
She has been there most times I have passed the door and I now look up every time I go by. The monks pass that door several times a day, on their way to our abbey church and then back again. Basically, we pass it 40 times a day. And more can be added for extra trips.
I do not know how long the pigeon will sit on her eggs. Maybe weeks? It amazes me, the ways of nature. So much instinct comes into play. She must have felt something growing within her, and so she set about finding the right twigs and building the nest.
I have seen birds getting quite fussy in their quests for just the right twigs. They peck around the ground, selecting one twig after another and then discarding them until they come across exactly what they are looking for. Then there is the artistry of making the nest, weaving the twigs to together so that they form a comfortable and secure place of rest and eventual birth.
And the nest must be safe from harm. How do birds "know" things like height and shelter?
Then there is the waiting. Our cloister pigeon sits in her nest for a good part of the day. She will occasionally fly off to feed or stretch -- I am not sure which -- and then she finds her way back through some kind of maternal radar.
Then the day will come when the chicks hatch. There will be feeding, fussing, cleaning, and an eventual parting of the ways when the chicks are ready to leave the nest.
It all fascinates me.
We monks pray for a lot of things and a lot of people. The list grows longer every day. We pray despite the many disappointments in life, in the sobering realization that we really do not hear the voice of God answering our prayers and making all things better.
We live in times that expect so many things -- rapid solutions, easy answers, the best roads home and to paradise, the right to have comfort wherever and whenever we can find it. The myth of eternal happiness being available in the here and now is hard to evade. It lays claim on us here, too.
I have been watching that pigeon. There is something obedient about her as she lives her life by the best instincts with which she was born and, eventually, flew. She has all she needs to get by and more. She lives in some realm other than that defined by being sad or happy. She just does her thing, does it very well, and waits.
Things may go terribly wrong. A strong gust of wind may take all that she has made -- her nest and her eggs -- and shatter them to pieces. I have seen that happen before. Then I saw the cycle of life begin again, with the building of a new nest and the laying of fresh eggs.
I watch the pigeon, and wonder what God asks of us -- for we certainly ask plenty of Him. Mostly for our comfort, for a smooth ride here. Refuge from the ravages of the wind and whatever threatens our life.
Jesus came to us through the womb of a woman. Then He entered the wildness of this world -- our world -- and terrible things happened to Him. We did not want Him in our world and devised a way to get Him out.
But He came back, with wings and a glow, and reminded us to be patient, to judge not, to be obedient to each other by being of service, and to leave the larger affairs of life to God, to the same God who made pigeons who wait and the human who is so restless. I watch the pigeon and beg to learn something from her.

Once again, Manchester United looked off the pace, but once again it didn't really matter too much. One wouldn't expect newly-promoted Norwich City to give the defending champions too much in the way of problems at Old Trafford, but the Canaries proved a very difficult nut to crack and had things gone ever so slightly differently it'd be United who were looking at a 2-0 defeat rather than their guests.
Norwich defended well for 70 minutes before the breakdown inevitably came off a corner kick, with Anderson ending the head pinball by nodding past John Ruddy from close range, and Danny Welbeck finished the job with five minutes left after combining intelligently with Park Ji-Sung to shred the visitors' back line. The rest of the games' best chances fell to Norwich, and only a combination of exceptionally poor finishing and blind luck saved the win for United. Anthony Pilkington had several great chances only to miss one on one against Anders Lindegaard with the match tied and then hit the post via deflection later, and the hosts defensive play was something approaching 'chaotic' throughout.
They say it's the mark of champions to win without playing particularly well, and if that's true United are now absolute locks for a 20th league title.

I used to have to lift up one side of my Jeep Cherokee at a time with a scissor jack to work on my wheels. Now I can just push this jack under my Jeep and lift both sides at once with ease and place the jack stands underneath, and I have a creeper to lie on if I need to work under it. The Jack and jack stands are heavy duty and the creeper is alot more comfortable than my garage floor. Wish I would have bought this set a long time ago.

Surprised about the added value of having additional items-- jack stands, and under car coaster--in the box with the 3-ton jack.

Bought this set for my son. He loves the creeper and the jack is nice and the handle can be used for a bar extension to increase your torque on something. The jack itself is a little heavy to be thrown around, but does the job.

This was a great buy to replace a little 2 ton Floor jack that had finally broken. Great Long Handle and much better quality than we were expecting at the Price. Through in the Creeper and Jack Stands for a couple dollars more and finding it available for pick-up in our local _Home Town store made it all the better!

So far everything works as it should. All parts made in China, so we'll see how long it lasts. Very durable and looks well made. Can lift up to 6000 lbs. My minivan is 5700, so I'm max performing it.

- Granderson's struggles prompt lineup tweaks
- Girardi sees 'fight' in Yankees amid tight losses
- Bombers bits
DETROIT -- It is true, as Eric Chavez said after Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers, that the Yankees have been fighting through their share of trouble since losing Alex Rodriguez to a fractured left hand on July 25.
But the Yankees third baseman has been watching his team closely during this recent stretch, in which it has lost seven of 12 games without his bat in the lineup, and thinks the club can rebound from its funk.
"I think we've run into teams in the American League that are playing very, very well," Rodriguez said. "In order to beat those teams, you've got to play almost flawless baseball. We ran into some good pitching. I think we'll be fine. I think you get a win and we'll build on that."
Rodriguez is wearing a light cast on his left hand and said that he is scheduled to have another X-ray performed on Monday at Yankee Stadium. He has been told to expect three to four weeks from the date of the injury for healing, and then about another week to get his strength back.
When he is pain-free, Rodriguez will be cleared to resume activities. The Yankees anticipate that Rodriguez will be able to help them at some point in September, and he believes that the club will find its way in his absence.
"Usually we have little slow starts like this in April," Rodriguez said. "Hopefully we're getting it out of the way now and we can start playing really good baseball. And I feel we will. I'm very confident this team will find its way."
Granderson's struggles prompt lineup tweaks
DETROIT -- With a nod toward Curtis Granderson's recent slump at the plate, Yankees manager Joe Girardi shuffled his lineup on Wednesday, dropping the center fielder to sixth in the batting order.
Derek Jeter returned to the leadoff spot, with Nick Swisher batting second against Tigers right-hander Anibal Sanchez. Granderson was hitless in his last 11 at-bats and had four hits in his last 25 trips to the plate.
"Grandy's been struggling a little bit, so we just moved him down to sixth," Girardi said. "We've had some other guys swinging the bat pretty well. We'll just change it up a little bit."
Granderson said after his 0-for-5 performance on Tuesday that his swings feel a tick off.
"If you're not hitting, you're not hitting. It doesn't matter where you happen to be batting," Granderson said. "[I'm] just not putting the ball in play the way I want to; getting pitches to hit, not being able to square them up. [I'm] fouling a lot of balls off -- just got to figure out the reason why."
Girardi said that he does not know if the move to the leadoff spot played a part in Granderson's slump. While Granderson hasn't led off much as a Yankee, it was his primary spot in the order during his Tigers career.
"I mean, he's hit first plenty in his career," Girardi said. "It's not something that was foreign to him, and the second half, he [has] struggled. It wasn't just when we moved him to first the last five or six days."
Girardi sees 'fight' in Yankees amid tight losses
DETROIT -- The Yankees have eyed their diminishing advantage in the American League East with some concern, entering play on Wednesday just 4 1/2 games ahead of the Orioles -- their smallest lead since June 29.
Manager Joe Girardi does not dispute the suggestion that the team has not played well and needs to perform better, but he also can't shake the feeling that his club has seemed close to breaking through.
"I don't think our guys are complacent," Girardi said. "You saw the fight in our guys in the ninth inning last night. I don't think there's complacency here. Sometimes you get that one hit that makes a difference, and sometimes you don't, but you come prepared every day. I think our guys are prepared every day, they work hard every day and they play hard every day. You do the best you can."
Girardi said there is not one glaring inefficiency that the Yankees need to fix at this time -- pointing to the offense, pitching, and particularly shutdown innings or clutch hits.
"You think, golly, you're one hit here or there away from having four or five wins," Girardi said. "You're talking about five hits and you might have four or five wins more, and we're not talking about this. But [despite] the fact that we haven't gotten those, we've been in most games. We're not getting blown out. I think I'd be more concerned if we were getting hammered."
Bombers bits
Casey McGehee made his second start as a member of the Yankees on Wednesday, batting ninth and playing third base. McGehee was acquired from the Pirates on July 31 for reliever Chad Qualls.
The Yankees have gone a season-high 13 games without an error since July 24. They have not recorded a longer stretch since a Major League-record 18 straight errorless games from May 14-June 1, 2009.
Yankees Minor League left-handed pitcher Carlos Diaz has been suspended for 50 games without pay after testing positive for metabolites of Stanozolol, in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The suspension of Diaz, who is currently on the roster of the Dominican Summer League Yankees, is effective immediately.

Charity the winner at tennis tournament
1:00pm Wednesday 7th November 2012 in Sport
TOTALLY Tennis and the Hampshire Court were the supporters of the latest charity tennis tournament run by Oakley Tennis Club, which raised £440 for children's charity Barnado's.
The event was held at Hampshire Court in Chineham and organised by the former president of the Basingstoke and District Tennis League Dave Nicholson.
It included a tournament run in American doubles style for both men and ladies, with players competing as single players for the overall men's and ladies league. Each match consisted of six games, with players changing partner each match and accumulating games into a final score.
The overall winners were Frank Marshall, who won 19 games, followed closely by second-placed Adam Hood with a total of 18. The Ladies winning position was shared by Christian Buckley and Pam Taylor, who both won 19 games.
Totally Tennis players and former players who competed in the event were runner-up Adam Hood, Sam Brill, who won 11 games, Josh Bliss (8), Barry Ward (7) and Clive Mills (7).
Coach Shyam Vithlani said: "The tournament was a great way for local players to compete whilst supporting Dave and the charity.
"Totally Tennis donated individual lessons to the winning players as prizes and Hampshire Court donated the use of all the courts."
Barnado's runs over 800 hundred projects in Britain that transform the lives of more than 200,000 children and young people every year.

I decided to get this after being impressed with V and Twilight in Olympus. Every one of the guys in Symphony X is very talented and can really play. The first CD is excellent from start to finish; songs like 'Evolution' and 'The Eyes of Medusa' are awesome along with Michael Romeos guitar solo in 'On the breath of Poseidon'. The guy is a really amazing guitarist and although many people think he sounds like yngwie, I think he is a lot more controlled and has a more melodic sense. I also like the way S X get the crowd involved, unlike most other progressive bands. My theory on live performances is that a band is on stage to put a show on and not just to play their music. S X are really good entertainers as well as musicians and they also play their songs differently live to what's on the studio recordings, which is great because similar bands such as Dream Theater usually just stand there playing their songs live exactly the same way as they do on the record. Even though DT are an amazing band, they can be so boring to watch and listen to live sometimes, unlike S X. The second CD however is where I found some minor problems. Some of the songs are played far faster than those on the record. Many people complain about progressive bands doing this live and I'm sorry to say in most cases; it is true! Listen to Dream Theater playing 'The Mirror' live for example; it is far faster than that on the record. The other thing that bugs me on CD2 is that the keyboards are too low on the mix. S X has always been a symphonic band and without the keyboards being in the shot they just do not sound the same. Russels vocals do not sound as strong on CD2, this is because I think those particular songs were recorded 6 months after CD1 so his voice is probably a bit worn from constant touring.However I can't complain too much because `The divine wings of tragedy' at the end of CD2 is amazing, I think the live performance of that song is absolutely stunning. Overall I really enjoyed this album and I love their music. I highly recommend it to any Power or Prog metal fans, Keep up the good work guys!!!!

If you thought Symphony X's albums were incredible, hearing them live is absolutley orgasmic. Russel Allen has an incredibly powerful voice that catches every single note just perfectly and rarely falters. At times, in fact, his voice exceeds what it has done on any studio album. Michael Romeo shreds like a madman on his guitar while Jason Rullo thunders on his drums without skipping a single beat. Mike Pinnela and Mike LePond are also wondrous performers. Every band member is an amazing virtuso. Its almost eerie to hear the songs come together so authentically and so faithfully on this disc; every song is churned out with uncanny accuracy. The Eyes of Medusa is played at hypersonic speed, clocking in at nearly a minute-and-a-half less than the studio version. I never thought it possible that Romeo could shred any faster on his guitar, but he will likely prove your previous notion of "shred" to be wrong. But Romeo isn't the only great performer in the group. The whole band plays so tightly together on this set and weaves every song with startling accuracy. The best example of this is The Divine Wings of Tragedy. The band plays out this epic track in its sheer entirety of 20 minutes. Nonstop. The very expierence of it is indescribable. I think it is worth it to buy this CD for this track alone. Someday Symphony X will tour stateside and we'll get to see them in person. Until then, we have this to satiate our appetites and tide us over till that fateful day. Now my only question is : when is the DVD coming out?!
I am a rather recent convert to Symphony X my wife, bless her gave me "V – The New Mythology Suite" as one of my Christmas presents in 2000. Needless to say I flipped for Symphony X. As an encore this Christmas my wife gave me Symphony X's "Live on the Edge of Forever". I must say I could easily get used to that particular little tradition. As other reviewers mentioned the actual title of this CD is "Live on the Edge of Forever".I am always a bit suspicious of live CD's. Too many times they are put out to simply make a quick buck for the band and to keep the fans happy until a new studio CD can be released. I was doubly suspicious of Symphony X's live CD considering the complex nature of the band's music. Listening to this CD quickly disabused me of those suspicions. The music comes across a bit harder than their studio CD's since all the elements of the studio recording can't be reproduce live and are subsequently replaced by additional guitar parts. The band still manages to evoke the grandeur that their studio recording projects. Overall the band's intricate music is executed almost flawlessly.Michael Romeo is a tremendous guitar player mixing proficiency with passion. He is definitely the key to Symphony X in being able to successfully play their material live. Michael Pinnella the Keyboard player is one of the best keyboardist around adding texture and grace to the music. The rhythm section of Lepond on bass and Rullo on drums are solid and do excellent work live. Rullo's drum in particular sound pleasingly sharper and crisper than in the studio CD's. The band departs from the studio version of the songs on numerous occasions. Sometimes as mentioned above due to technical necessity and sometimes just for the fun of it. I quite enjoyed these departures since they showcased the bands creativity and mastery of their musical form. The band has definite chemistry playing off each other to give a dynamic performance.Russell Allen's vocals sound rougher and grittier though no less pleasing than his vocals on Symphony X's studio CD's. His vocals radiate intensity and power. He sounds like a great live frontman. Mind you my only evidence is this recording but the crowd sure does respond to him. Disc 1 is nearly entirely composed of the first nine songs of "V – The New Mythology Suite" played in its studio order. The song the "Death of Balance" off "V – The New Mythology Suite" neatly segues into the fantastic "Candlelight Fantasia" off the "Divine Wings of Tragedy" CD. The first CD is close's out with "The Eyes of Medusa" off the aforementioned "Divine Wings of Tragedy" CD. The tracks Disc 2 are evenly split between the "Divine Wings of Tragedy" and the "Twilight In Olympus" CD's. Its hard to pick highlights off this album since all the tracks included are prime grade material. On disc 1 "Evolution (The Grand Design)" is played with an extra bit of aggression and it certainly benefits from it. On disc 2 "The Church of the Machine" is a killer track with terrific vocals. Symphony X perform a smoking version "Of Sins and Shadows" putting the studio version to shame and that's saying a lot. An excellent live album that should be in the collection of any Symphony X fan. As for the newcomer this is not a bad place to start although a better place to start would be to purchase "V – The New Mythology Suite" and "Divine Wings of Tragedy" and then acquire "Live on the Edge of Forever".
I just saw them in Chicago and they were excellent except for one thing-they play their songs too fast-slow the meter of the songs down to album speed and they will sound better. Most of these songs are fast-paced to begin with. You will hear some of this on this live CD. They really can play their songs live and Sir Russell's vocals are killer live. Jason Rullo is a fantastic drummer which adds to the band. Romeo's guitar work is unreal as well as the bass and keybord work. This is one of the best bands on the planet-go see them live if you get a chance. If they were doing this in the 70's or 80's, they would be a household name. Too bad our young generation doesn't appreciate greatness when heard. This band should not be touring with no roadcrew and only getting 45 minutes to perform as an opening act. What a shame! As being in the music business for a while-I have NEVER seen such a great band get such little recognition!!
Symphony X is one of the few progressive metal bands whose music I enjoy. Thus, my respect for them has been boosted considerably with the release of this 2CD live album. For one thing, V – The New Mythology Suite is one of my favorite albums, and the band performs a good portion of it on disc 1 (all the way up to "The Death of Balance," at which point it segues into "Candlelight Fantasia"). V is my favorite SymX album, but in the studio the album seemed a bit more "tame" than their earlier stuff. Live, Symphony X's trademark aggression is thrust back into V. (Fanfare!)For a relatively inexperienced live band, they put on a great show, performing their highly sophisticated music with explosive energy. I am particularly in awe of vocalist Russell Allen, who is an astonishingly good live performer. Although he is not an extremely technical singer (by his own admission), his voice fares very well, he's a spirited & lively performer, and he often improves the delivery over the original studio recordings. On "Candlelight Fantasia," he hits every note of the beautiful song with perfect, controlled pain. On others, he injects a great deal more aggression into the lyrics. On "Fallen," he sings, "My Serpents plot the overthrow of your temples and shrines" with a growl so evil it makes the hairs on the back of my neck rise. On "The Divine Wings of Tragedy – The Prophets Cry" he sounds utterly demonic. Nothing is worse than a great singer who can't perform live…Symphony X doesn't disappoint in that regard!If you're wondering how the band recreates their majestic vocal harmonies in the live setting…well, they don't. Still, they do what they can. When possible, Michael Romeo and Michael Pinnella sing backing vocals (which work well). On "Of Sins and Shadows," Pinnella runs the choral sample from his keyboards. The massive, complex a capella counterpoint choral work that opens "The Divine Wings of Tragedy" is cut entirely. While it's difficult to recreate some of their richly textured symphonic music live, the band fares very well in other regards. Even though keyboardist Pinnella can't support a full MIDI orchestra live, the symphonic cuts ("Prelude," "Transcendence," "On the Breath of Poseidon") still possess a big sounding quality. Michael Romeo helps out by filling some of the missing textures with awesome guitar licks. For example, on the symphonic speed metal cut "On the Breath of Poseidon" he plays neoclassical runs to round out the symphonic weaves throughout the song. It's different, and very cool. Romeo = guitar master!Many songs are altered to keep things fresh, as well. "Candlelight Fantasia," which is shortened, is performed with nothing but Allen's ghostly voice and pianos. Believe it or not, the song is even more ethereal and beautiful when done live. Pinnella adds a number of lovely little piano tags throughout (like at the end of "Egypt" (yes, I know there was piano there before, but this is different) and the end of "Communion and the Oracle." Even when the songs aren't altered in any way, the sheer energy gripping the performances makes everything sound new and more exciting. The frenzied Romeo/Pinnella soloing duels sound more wild and exhilarating than before. Romeo's hair-pin metal riffing is burning with energy, which makes the sometimes mucky guitar tone less regrettable. It's also great to hear Allen's interaction with the crowd, like when he basically teases the audience before the beginning of "Smoke and Mirrors." Good fun! Speaking of the crowd, they sure get rockin' to the music (that makes it more exciting!). European audiences sure love their Symphony X.Rarely is anyone 100% satisfied with a live album (especially if you're a jerk like me), so obviously I'm disappointed in a few respects. The album is called Live on the Edge of Forever, but where is the song "The Edge of Forever"? It's such a beautiful song, and I would have loved to hear it live with the band's thundering energy (since The Damnation Game's production was pretty bad). In fact, there are no songs from The Damnation Game, or the debut. That's too bad. I think it also would have been incredible to hear "The Relic" live, because it has an awesome, heroic chorus that would rock live.But no big deal. These complaints are really just what they call "small potatoes." Live on the Edge of Forever is awesome anyway you take it. There's been a lot of great live releases this year, but this is one of the best. The performances catch fire, and Symphony X rocks n' stuff. If you don't buy this, I must question your sanity.(Note: Despite the fact that catalogues title this album as Live in Europe and some of the sticky white labels say so as well, the actual album is called Live on the Edge of Forever. When wondering what the difference is between Live in Europe and Live on the Edge of Forever, know that there isn't one. They are the same.)

Here is the last part of Nostalgic 2 Days
First is this 510 built by Common Snapper. It may look like any other 510 but this one has an engine swapped from a S2000.
Here is another hybrid built by Rocky Auto, this Hakosuka. It is common in the states to swap big American V8s into older Z cars and more recently 240s but This Hakosuka is running a 1UZ V8 from a Toyota.
Must be pretty wild to hear the sound of a V8 coming from a Hako... a travesty maybe?
Finally if you thought the price of the Corona in the previous post was insane have a look at this Fairlady. When you convert the price on the windshield to USD it comes out to $40,600!

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Just a bit inside.
TCU and Baylor pitchers combined for an NCAA single-game record by hitting 13 batters with pitches Tuesday night.
Horned Frogs pitchers matched the record 10 by one team in their 9-4 victory. Three TCU batters were also hit by pitches.
There were more batters hit by pitches than hits (12). There were also a combined 11 walks in the game that took 3 hours, 53 minutes to play.
Baylor leadoff batter Nathan Orf was hit by three different pitchers. TCU starter Brandon Finnegan threw 4 2-3 innings of no-hit ball, but hit six batters.
The previous record of 12 combined hit batters had been done twice, by South Florida and UCF in 2008 and Nevada and New Mexico State in 1997.

|Thousands murdered each day by abortion
Letter to the Editor:
As the events of the bombing at the Boston Marathon unfolded and were reported in great detail in the national media, I?was — as were most of us — horrified that two young men could murder three innocent bystanders, including one young child, and seriously injure nearly 200 others.
There can be no doubt that law enforcement did a superb job in identifying and apprehending the two suspects.I certainly don't mean to minimize or politicize these tragic events, but on that same day a much more tragic event occurred that went unreported by any of the media. According to the Centers for Disease Control, an average of 2,260 innocent babies are murdered each day by reported abortion in the United States, and we call that a matter of choice.
I'm sorry, folks, but the only difference I?see here is in the number of dead bodies. It is deplorable that we have a president who gets all emotional over the death of three persons when there are political points to be made; but, not only ignores the death of 800,000 people annually, but advocates their being murdered in a most horrible way.
History has shown that any government that commits genocide against its own citizens will not have a good end. How sad it is that we, as a Christian country (yes, Mr. President, this is still a predominantly Christian country), criticize others for their human rights violations yet condone the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies as business as usual in the United States of America.
Is it possible that our country is reaping what it sows? How long can we expect God to allow this to continue under the pretext of calling ourselves a godly nation?
