Jeep Wrangler Hard and Soft Tops
roadburner Posts: 7,048
erickpl Posts: 2,735This is one time that I may differ a bit from mac.
Bestop Replace-A-Top is a GREAT option and the route I took when I replaced my 97 SE's cruddy top a few years ago. However, if you're going to spend that kind of money for the top, you may want to look at the Viking fastback frameless soft top. The rear windows actually roll/fold up into the top for storage and do NOT require the use of the original soft top frame and essentially works as a safari top too.
If I had to do it again, this is the route I'd likely go.

bfassett Posts: 17Just went from 2007 Wrangler X to 2010 Wrangler Sport.Love the sun rider feature so I don't have to take down the entire soft top.BUT It is a pain in the a** to get back closed.It lacks nearly and inch of reaching front windshield clips.Dealer says it will stretch with age?? I need to take out back window support and flaps, un zip side windows to get it back together,Anyone with similar problems or a solution ??
rde1 Posts: 1bfassett,
am having the same problem with my 2010 - i end up with about inch gaps and i just can't quite get the clips to reach out and grab to pull it forward and lock it back down. I haven't had to take the windows out though - i just release from the back, push it forward and re-lock, then re-hook the back. quite the pain -
trish357 Posts: 2oi..Ive only dropped my top twice. The last time scared me so bad its been 5 yrs since...but forgot and dropped it anyway.... now my rear panel teeth are pulling away from each other and i cant get a good zip.....also this episode to get side panels off too to dealership cause the zips on both sides had pulled apart....Im really over the fact im a top down girls but just cant get it up....lol :mad:
trish357 Posts: 2I posted oct 3 about my rear pannel will not zip on my 2004unlimited wrangler. I have rarely put my top down and there is no visible damage to zipper or pannel...Does anyone have problems with the unlimited soft-top.....zipping and proplems with dropping the top or putting the top back up. There was no answer to post 196 so am i doing something wrong?
shallop Posts: 1I just bought a 2010 Wrangler Unlimited. Had it for 24 days so far. It has been in the dealership shop 4 times because of the leaks from door, center and right side of the roof for total of 19 days and the dealer does not want to admit there is a problem. Three days ago, they fixed the center part, I took it home and on the way back, it started to leak heavier than before. I took it back to the dealer and left it there and said take this garbage back and give me my money. They sare smart and want to buy it back from me for $4,000 less that what I paid for less than a month ago. Car only has 650 mikes!
dmace Posts: 7I just purchased a 2011 Sahara unlimited. Did not realize it had the dual tops. I only wanted the Freedom top. The dealership is now removing the soft top and told me the hard top would definitely leak now. Is this true? I had an 07 Sahara unlimited Freedom top and it never leaked. I will be selling the soft top if anyone is interested.
cavbear Posts: 1Hi all,
I own a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport...Its great...unless I have the hard top on it..and it RAINS!!!!...I leaks to the point I don't dare put the carpet in...for it gets SOAKED...and winter is coming here in MAINE.....Anyone got any ideas...The soft top is Leak Free...Imagine that Uh????
As for the orginal tires I have 30x9.5x15...Wranger Goodyear tires..I got 71,236 on the orginal tires...They are GREAT,but Goodyear in their infinite wisdon....they don't make this tire any longer... they changed it to a SRA tread design....and they don't wear as good or even close.....Kind of the same ole' story...if it wears good ....don't make more,,,,they don't make any money($$$$) with tires that perform as these did....Ohh @#$%^ its raining again............ :lemon: -
edf4 Posts: 65dmace;
if the Jeep came with the dual top package, the soft top is not actually fixed to the Jeep, but the hard top does need to be removed if you want to be able to use your cargo area. However, removing the hard top should have zero affect on whether it leaks or not. Did you buy your Jeep from a Jeep dealer? If so, they should know what they are doing now that this model with the Freedom top has been out for over three years. I have an '07 Unlimirted X with the dual tops and I have NEVER (knock on wood) had a leak with either roof. Also, if you don't want your soft top, don't give it back to the dealer...sell it to back them or to someone else, as they are expensive and there is a market for them. -

osirisra32 Posts: 2Hey everyone...hoping someone out there might be able to help
So typically I use quadratec for a lot of my custom aftermarket upgrades/replacements...the like. However I am replacing some of the soft top hardware components and quadratec only sells the 3rd rear bow assembly for 97-02 models. I own a 2006 Model. So I called the dealership up and they want nearly $600.00 for a steel tube of metal that probably cost less then 100 bucks to produce. Anyone know of any other sources for this part? (preferably for under 600$ lol). Im more then willing to buy it as a custom fab piece...as long as the price is reasonable....
gimtar Posts: 1I have a 2011 Sahara unlimited also. It has been a night mare with the passenger side leaking all the time. I wish I would have done more research about this problem. I have taken my truck to the service dept. about 10 times and no one can fix this problem. We should do a class suit. I finally reached out to chrysler and they are trying to help me.

ourjeeplife Posts: 44We've been very lucky in this area due to the fact that we've always switched tops soon after buying a new Jeep wrangler.. This time mad eno exception.. Acquiring the Bestop half top system for our 08 wrangler.. things could have been better.. thou we get allot of looks, cause we are the only ones within 100 miles or more that has a top like this on our jeep.. some have even asked if this is soemthing "standard" offered by jeep. Thou we've had to make soem alterations due to the fact that while camping, someone tried to break into our "duster cover" Thus I've hand tooled a hard shell cover our a slightly used truck bed liner.. Other wise.. if you are thinking of getting this time of top for your jeep.. make sure you wait till the summer to put it on.. Also.. I still have my slightly used clear window softop.. and yes it's for sale.. Pms accepted.. Offers welcome.. No shipping..

Remembering Louise Nippert Sunday, Aug. 25, 8:00 PM
Last year Cincinnati lost a great friend - Mrs. Louise Dieterle Nippert. She would have been 102 this month. Her presence no longer graces our city, but her love and concern for Cincinnati's great Performing Arts institutions remain as a salute to her spirit. Her generosity made, and will continue to make, a profound difference to the people of Cincinnati. She embodied the spirit of giving, not for recognition, but for the greater good. Mrs. Nippert truly represented the greatest of the greatest generation.
Mark Perzel remembers Mrs. Nippert with Carter Randolph, a longtime associate and family friend.

In order to make a cushion long enough to fit a window seat I need to join two pieces of foam end to end. I am wondering what type of glue to use. Has anyone here ever done this,and if so, how did you do it?
Thanks so much for any suggestions. Carolyn |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can get foam glue at your local fabric or craft store. If you use regular glue, it may melt the foam. I've glued foam together with foam glue and it held very well. Good luck with your project. |
There are spray adhesives made for bonding foam, and that is what you should use. BUT - memory foam should NOT be used for cushions. Do you really want butt prints on your cushions?? Aside from anything else it's incredibly expensive for this use. Are you sure what you have is memory foam? Use a high resiliency foam. Call your local upholstery supply store - many of them will custom cut your foam for very little cost. And the stuff they sell at most craft stores - Nu-foam and such will collapse after about a year's use. Don't bother. |

Thanks for your comments, Mary. I don't know if it it is actually memory foam. My DIL gave me this piece of foam all rolled up and when unrolled expanded into a 3" slab so I thought it was memory foam. She doesn't live near me so I couldn't be with her when she bought it. On her last visit she brought it here. It is for a window seat in my granddaughter's room and as her dad says, it will probably be piled with stuff all the time. Since this is what I have , I guess I'll just have to work with it, but thanks for your advice re: adhesives. Carolyn |
I know you've decided to use it anyway, but here's a test. Unroll the foam, and press down hard with your opened hand. Wait a few moments. Remove your hand, and if it takes a few moments for the hand print to disappear, it's memory foam. If there is no imprint at all, it is probably cushion foam, and much better for your application. |
Regular foam is easy. I have used Duro spray adhesive with great success. follow the directions (spray both surfaces, wait 60 seconds, press together) Do this outside, or there will be surfaces inside your workroom that will be permanently tacky. I don't know if memory foam will react differently to glue. |

Whatever you do,DO NOT use that Nu Foam.I did once and mine didn't even last 6 mos,and i'm the only who sat on the chair. Kathi |
You didn't say how long your cushion needs to be but, the longer the cushion the more likely the ends of the cushion will pop up when someone sits on it. You might want to test this before making a cover for one long cushion and consider making two shorter ones. Just a thought. |

In "Faithful Journeys," a Tapestry of Faith program
Like the character Ray in the story "Finding Balance," participants may wish to ask some or all of the people who would ordinarily give them birthday gifts to contribute instead to a good cause. If you have created a Faithful Journeys Action Club (Session 4), a birthday fund is a good way for the club to raise funds for a cause they have selected.
If the group creates a birthday fund, you will need to periodically remind participants of its existence. When someone has contributed to the fund, certainly take the opportunity to tell the group during the Faithful Footprints activity.
Families may be in very different economic circumstances, and participants' expectations around birthday presents may vary considerably. Honor all contributions. Announce the total funds raised, rather than the amounts of individual contributions.
You may wish to encourage children to increase the fund through their own work, such as with a car wash or a lemonade stand.
For more information contact web @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.

I didn't think this was nearly as bad as the judges said. Nina compared the color blocks to "hospital scrubs," and Zac said the whole look lacked "oomph." I find it interesting that two of the bottom designers are the ones with the strongest ties to the South, and those same two are the only African-Americans. I'm not crying racial bias or anything like that, but it's possible that the judges are just as ignorant to the full spectrum and diversity of Southern fashion as some of the designers.
Again, I didn't think this deep purple gown was all that bad, but Ken is living proof that a stank attitude just makes everything worse. Nina was ready to eliminate him based on his eye-rolls and shade-throwing alone, and I wouldn't have complained.
Oh, come on! Even though Jeremy defended his look on the runway, there's NO WAY he thought the judges would let this fly. It's as if he ran down the list of every criteria that would get him eliminated. Matronly? Check. Boring? Check. Hideous colors? Check. This shapeless frock had zero design, and Jeremy had to know that. It's a shame because Jeremy started out with such promise, but his fire got extinguished somewhere along the way. As much as I hate to say this while Ken is still around, Jeremy was the clear choice to be sent packing. However...
I still don't understand why the producers decided to give the bottom three a second chance, but it did give Jeremy an opportunity to show that he still had his old spark. They had just one hour to revise their low-scoring looks using any of the leftover materials in the workroom, and they were allowed to choose a helper. Dom and Jeremy decided to throw their old looks out completely and start with brand new fabrics, while Ken chose to edit his existing purple dress.
I think Runway set a dangerous precedent this week — the designers are already under crazy time constraints as it is, but now that the producers know that the designers can produce presentable looks in just one hour, they might start imposing even harsher deadlines in the future. Mr. Belk loved Dom's second look so much that he promised her look would be sold at Belk alongside Bradon's. Seriously, the back was lovely.
At first I thought Ken might be penalized for not changing his look enough, but the judges thought this Housewife-ified version was a big improvement. Ken's assistant Kate was right that the new hem was too short, but of course Ken thought his own vision was perfect.
I think this second-chance flash challenge was mostly for Jeremy's benefit, but unfortunately he couldn't capitalize on it. The judges liked his new look, but it really just looks like a poorly constructed slip. He really made the decision to send him home easier than it should have been.
What do you think, Runway lovers? Did anyone -- the designers or the judges -- really embrace the Southern theme? Was it Jeremy's time to go?

Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, one of the most historic places in America, is the largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the fifth most populated city in the United States. Located in the northeastern United States, along the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers, Philadelphia is the only consolidated city-county in Pennsylvania. According to the 2011 Census, the city had a population of more than 1.5 million. 1 Philadelphia is the economic and cultural center of the Delaware Valley.
Although many of the paths to understanding American history converge in Philadelphia and its historic countryside, there also are many fun, healthy things to do. The advantage of having an abundance of far-reaching parks, community centers, and outdoor activities for people of all ages is that no Philadelphian has to go more than a mile to walk, jog, run, row, horseback ride, or bike. Philadelphia's largest recreation area, Fairmount Park, encompasses 9,200 acres and is the world's largest landscaped urban park. With more than 215 miles of recreation trails, 139 picnic sites, 34 miles of waterways, 6 golf courses, and 368 athletic fields and outdoors courts, Philadelphia County makes it easy to stay active, play sports and exercise, enjoy a picnic or simply relax.
The Greater Philadelphia area also is home to some of the nation's oldest and most beautiful botanical gardens and arboretums.
Just minutes from the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Betsy Ross House, is Bartram's Garden, America's oldest living botanical garden. Other Philadelphia attractions include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Valley Forge National Historical Park, Franklin Square and the Franklin Institute Science Museum—just a few of many area historical sites honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador.
No matter what you crave—history, outdoor activities, shopping, the arts, sports, music science, gardens, architecture, or dining—you will find countless, diverse options in "the City that Loves You Back."
Philadelphia County Health Statistics
According to the 2010 Bureau of Census, Greater Philadelphia has a population of 6.23 million people, with 88, 140 employers 2 and a labor force of approximately 3.16 million people.
Philadelphia County ranks last out of Pennsylvania's 67 counties in health factors, according to the County Health Rankings. Health factors in the County Health Rankings are those that influence the health of a county, including health behavior and clinical care, as well as social, economic and physical environment factors.
The College of Physicians of Philadelphia established a Business Wellness Council to provide training and networking opportunities for local employers that promotes healthy behaviors. Philadelphia County's 25% tobacco-use rate is higher than the 17% national benchmark, and 32% of Philadelphia County residents are categorized as obese. Approximately 30% of individuals in Philadelphia County are physically inactive, which is higher than state average of 26% and the national averages of 24%.

This was our first B&B and it was a wonderful experience. Delightful B&B in the charming town of Saint Denis de Gastines. The owners, Mike and Gill could not be more warm, friendly and helpful. The city of Mayenne is nearby and is a must to visit for anyone who visits this area. We are confident that you will enjoy your stay.

Thank you again for your hospitality, your kindness and your availabilty. So we visited Fougeres, St Malo, Cancale, the Mont St Michel, Holy Mother Church, the museum, with the landing beaches of Utah Beach and Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery Collonges. Our tour stopped at Caen lack of recess time. Your area is very beautiful, we had great weather to keep even better memories. We turn to Gillian, and Mickael Mathieu our sympathy. Good luck also for further work. Once I sorted the pictures, I will send you some. Again thank you for everything. Sincerely Edward and Vincente Roura.

Got the appliances and sink in over the weekend, so today DH put the drawers in. Had a bit of an issue with the DW cabinet, so thought I'd give a heads up. The cab is 24" deep but has 3/4" stretchers across the back at the top and bottom. So its effective depth is something like 23.25. Turned out it was too shallow for the 24 5/8" DW. Cab also has stretchers across the top front and back as well and sides are screwed to other cabs so after consultation with Chad, we cut out the high stretcher in the back and cut the low stretcher down to a height of 3" so it would fit the channel area in the back of the DW where the plumbing and electric are routed. I sent Chad the specs for the DW and he's looking at redesigning the cab to accomodate these ever growing DWs. Funny I was very careful to check the width and height because I knew those have been causing issues but I guess we never put 2+2 together on the depth. Anyway, all's well that ends well. Back on track. Drawers went in perfectly and look great. It will probably be a while before we finish out the trim on this and do the frig surround but I thought some of the Barker-philes out there might want to see the progress. Forgive the mess, since we now have appliances and running water, we're moving stuff from the temp kitchen back but at the same time, still doing construction. :-) |

Thanks for sharing about the dishwasher cabinet needing to be adjusted. Thanks for also sharing the work-in-progress pictures. By the way, can you give me the details of your beautiful floors? I love them! |
Thanks. Here's a link to a thread with more info on the flooors. |

Thank you lucas_tx! |
Lucas_tx, it's beautiful! I love the wood floors and cabinets together. One question - do you really need a cabinet for a dishwasher? I always thought it would just go between two other cabinets, saving the inch and a half the cabinet box would take up. Every inch counts in my tiny space! |

You don't use a cabinet for a DW. It goes between adjacent cabinets, with possibly a side panel and filler if needed for spacing or structural issues. And add a ledger board at the rear to help support the counter. |
I guess it's just a matter of opinion but by the time you go to the trouble to use "a side panel, filler if needed and a ledger board" it seems a lot simpler to have a nice neat cabinet that includes all that (provided said cab is deep enough :-)). Personally, in my case, there is not an adjacent cab because the sink cab is angled so the DW would have needed a side panel anyway. For super tight spaces, if you didn't want to give up 1.5" of space, I'm sure not having a cab would have been fine but I think it's a little harsh to say "you don't use one" without knowing the details in each case. |
Although we noted the DW cabinet offering, we chose not to do the cabinet with our Barker install. Our DW is in a corner, so we put in a slab side panel next to the wall and viola, that was it. Much easier than cabinet assembly, install, leveling, and shimming. It was less expensive, quicker, I didn't lose 1.5" of space, and no visible frame for a more consistent look. The space and aesthetics were my deciding factors against ordering it, but my contractor father confirmed he didn't want it and wouldn't use it. |
Beautiful, lucas! What will your countertops be? |
Well I have to say my poor little cabs are feeling pretty bad about the turn this thread has taken. They didn't want to be photographed half naked anyway (no trim no hardware) but I assured them that many people were very interested in seeing how pretty they were so they agreed. Now the thread has gone a completely different direction and they are feeling a little neglected. Perhaps the DW cab vs. no DW cab discussion could move to a thread of its own. Maybe someone can get this thread back on track (and make the little naked cabs feel better :-) by saying |
Lucas, your cabs, even naked, are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your progress with us. |
Your cabinets look great! Thanks for posting the photos. Looking forward to seeing more pics as you progress. :) |
Counters... SInce it's an interior room, we want light counters. We're currently thinking LG Viatera in Sugar Storm which is reasonably quiet and then something really blingy for the backsplash. We both like glass and/or glass/stone mosaics, so that's the way we are leaning and we'd like to add some color with that. For the upper level of the counters what we want (if we decide to bite the financial bullet) is some edge grained mesquite. We like that it's native Texan but mesquite trees don't grow very tall or very straight, so even though they are ubiquitous, it's hard to make lumber from them and it's difficult to work the lumber because it's very hard. We went down and spent a Saturday morning in Dan Vos' wood shop and it was just amazing. We have relatives down there in Dripping Springs and that's just a cool little family business, so we are trying to support those where ever we can. |

Yay, naked pics! ;) I've been waiting for you to post more - they really look beautiful! Looking forward to more.... |
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack! I really do love the cabinets, and didn't even notice that they were "naked." Can't wait to see them dressed. |

Wow, I'm not personally into the light cabinet look, but those cherry cabs are gorgeous! What lovely grain! I feel like I've been deeply wounded by cheap builder grade golden oak. Maybe some day I'll be able to get some nice natural cabs like those! I'd be interested to see how the color changes over time, if you are able to post pics in a year or so. Is this what they call kitchen porn? I hope I don't get I trouble for having pics of naked cabs in my browser history! Especially such young cabinets... |
LOL Williamsem! |
They look beautiful! Thanks for taking the time to share them! What door style is that? There is so much movement in that gorgeous wood I can't tell from the pics. What happened with your bowed end panels? Did they straighten out after you weighed them down? Love it! |
Wonderful job, beautiful cabs - thanks for posting. Now you've got me thinking... Sugar Storm Mesquite Driftwood 1" x 4" Brown Linea Offset Glossy & Unpolished Glass and Stone, $34.03/sf |
Gorgeous. And I love the tiles EAM44 picked out! |
- Posted by williamsem (My Page) on Thu, May 16, 13 at 20:59
Love the 5 piece drawers! Great choice. Also love those tiles, I'm happy with my MOP choice, but part of me wonders what EAM44 would have dug up for my kitchen :-) |
Thanks all. EAM44, you are the killer on finding backsplashes! That's lovely but we are kind of drowning in a sea of brown here, so are considering something with an actual color. Got any suggestions? We ended up doing the wood in the FR as well then realized all our furniture is beige as well :-) Guess we better look for some smashing area rugs, right now the furniture is kind of invisible :-) Berner43, they are San Francisco. As for the warped panels, one of them is the one to the right of the MW. It didn't straighten out completely on its own but we figured that because it was being screwed between two other cabs it would work out alright so we went ahead and put it in and it did fine. We did make sure we didn't try to use it on the end of that run. There were three panels in that run, one on either side of the MW and the one on the end that were identical. The other warped one is the tall panel that will make up the frig surround. It got a lot straighter when we had it weighted down. We had to move everything around when we got the floors so it's up against a wall now. When we get ready to do that frig surround (hopefully pretty soon), we'll have to take a look and decide. I think that screwed between two cabs as it will be at the top, that it will do OK as well, but as I said before, Chad says he'll replace it if it's not going to work out. Williamsen, the MOP was kind of calling my name too but DH wasn't wild about it so it's off the list kind of temporarily anyway. Also didn't meet the "we need some color" criterion. |
Please don't toy with me. I get so excited when people use the "c" word!!! My favorite color to pair with browns is blue. If you have a favorite, let me know. In mosaics, if you're going to use multicolors, brown should be in there to help tie everything together. I really think the glazed thin brick from Fireclay could be beautiful in your space. It has a rugged feel that would be very much at home in the arms of your mesquite. I'm showing you Harbor below. Finally, I have a couple of options from Artistic Tile (sorry) and Mosaic House. You can choose any color in the Mosaic House tile, but you can't find examples of each of them in all the mosaic patterns. The one below is a little roust in its shade of blue, but it'll give you an idea. thanks anne. williamsem, I like MOP tile a lot. In the right space it is magical. It might not have enough presence for this space though. |
I thought they were San Francisco! That's on my short list. I have no doubt Chad would make your end panels right if needed! |
The blue is good! Actually like the first one the best so far. Not sure about the brick, would have to see in person. Last two are too busy and the 4th one would drive DH crazy, he's "concrete sequential" so it all needs to look nice and neat :-) |
I love that tile too. You can find info on it at the link below. I was hoping to find a mix with more of the blue and an overall less dark feel. So far, either the blue is washed out, or the browns appear yellow or reddish. Here are a couple of other options along similar lines. |

Lucastx! How fun to see your Barkers kitchen come together. They are a strong contender for us still, so it's really helpfu to see and hear about an actual install. That DW issue seems pesky! Wonder why that's even a problem... hope he fixes it. Did you do crown from them? If so, do you love it? Can we see it? How are the drawers? Do they operate well? Are they truly full extension? Do they seem sturdy? It's looking really good and you are in great hands with backsplash. I'm kinda liking the very last one EAM posted... |

I'm following you as well on your progress as we are finalizing our Barker layout. It's gorgeous so far and I look forward to the full reveal. Can I ask you about what you put on either side of your range, fillers or end panels? And did you make it full depth, or just a few inches, to block the space? Thanks! |
We're doing another section today (frig surround) so I'll try to provide more details on the anatomy today. Per the earlier discussion, DW cab is not a must have but if you have a DW picked out and are worried, send Chad the specs. I just took a pic of mine and emailed to him. He loves real world feedback and is very grateful. EAM, agreed slightly less dark but with the blue would be nice but that first one is appealing and DH like it as well. I think we do prefer the brick style, the squares just seem a little busy for our tastes. What do you think about this one? Blue is more muted and it says it's Bathroom tile, don't know if that would matter. They also have some that use slate for the 'blue', I wonder how blue those would look IRL? Thanks so much for your input on this, you are so great at finding them. |

I got that itch. The itch propelled me into working on what was my single player platformer, LineWalk. With the recent changes to BYOND, I can actually make this demonstration into a fun online game. My previous release from 2008 was full of bugs, so over the past two years I have been working on my pixel movement engine, and what better way to show it off than to recreate the demonstration that amazed so many.
As stated, this is just a demonstration of pixel movement, there is no set time in which one could expect a release of the official LineWalk game. I am currently making sure the pixel movement along with collision is perfect. So, please report any bugs!

Line A was the first subway line to work in the southern hemisphere and its trains are among the ten oldest still working daily. The La Brugeoise wagons were constructed between 1912 and 1919 by La Brugeoise et Nicaise et Delcuve in Belgium.

That post from the Jolly Nguyen (jolynguyen) in Can Tho, Viet Nam brought back fond memories. I had a McNamara scholarship (all expenses paid) to the University of Viet Nam after high school and spent a little time around there. The Basa/Swai fish you buy at the market is raised in pens in the Mekong River down there, just downstream from the outhouses hanging over the river. I hope that doesn't mess up anyone's dinner plans. |

I used my "regular" pumpkin pie recipe for Thanksgiving but skinnied it down by substituting no-fat evaporated milk and Splenda. It still got the same oohs and ahs that it always does and disappeared just as fast.
1 9" unbaked pie shell
Combine the pumpkin with eggs, dry ingredients and milk. Stir until well blended. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Serve with fat free whipped topping. If you eat just the filling, it's really low calorie, low fat, low carbohydrate. You can eat all the crust or just the rim to get a little crust taste. |

Sorokin Wins Governor's Cup
Sacramento in September can only mean one thing for any nitro fan, the Governor's Cup. The 41st edition would include the normal group of Northern California fuelers with a small dose of SoCal mixed in. The format for this years race would be different than in years past. No qualified field, no set pairings just good old Chicago Style! Two sessions with the quickest from each coming back to meet in the final.
The first session started off with Rick White and Adam Sorokin. White came out on top with a very nice 5.77 at 261 mph to Adam's 5.95. Pair #2 pitted Sacramento Raceway veterans Bill Dunlap in Mike Patterson's 426 Chrysler and Brendan Murry's Chevy. The Mopar won this battle with a safe 6.01 with a car best speed of 261 mph. Murry had some traction issues and slowed to 8.40.The next pair saw Rick Williamson and Mike McLennan make their attempts to up the 5.77 put on the board by Rick White. Williamson gave it a good run and carded a 5.93 while sacrificing some aluminum. McLennan fell subject to tire smoke and slowed to 7.36.
The final pair of the first session was supposed to be Mark Malde in Arnold Birky's Chevy and Mike Irwin in Dave Smith's Nitro Fever. Irwin never made it to the water box after a reverser malfunction coupled with a broken clutch pedal stop resulted in a very scary accident that luckily resulted in no one being severely injured. Malde was immediately shut-off. Grant Meadors, the son of Good Guys president Marc Meadors was seriously hurt and ended up with a broken leg. Marc's beautiful Pro-Mod Camaro received heavy damage, but can be repaired. All thoughts and prayers at this moment were with Grant Meadors. The good news is Grant is doing fine and is expected to make a full recovery. Malde did get to make his run and carded a conservative 6.52.
The second session ended up being a combination of sorts. Because of the delay, it was decided to include the final with the second session. The 2 low e.t's from session 1 would meet while the rest of the cars would randomly pair up. That meant that White should face Williamson. Unfortunately Williamson hurt the motor bad enough in the first session that they were unable to return. That made Sorokin's 5.95 good enough to face White in the money round. Dunalp, Murry & McLennan all experienced tractions problems. The final started out great, but both cars encountered the same traction issues that plagued the others. Sorokin smoked the tires about 500 feet, then White smoked the tires at 1000 ft. Unfortunately for White he clipped a timing cone in the process which gave the win to Sorokin.
AAFD would like to extend our best wishes to Grant Meadors and the entire Meadors family. We would also like to thank Dave Smith and Sacramento Raceway for their continued support. Next stop is the California Hot Rod Reunion at Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, Oct 15-18.

text: | Dáil Éireann - Volume 591 - 28 October, 2004 Written Answers. - Clinical Indemnity Scheme. Mr. Sherlock Mr. Sherlock 461 23. Mr. Sherlock asked the Tánaiste and Mini[461] ster for Health and Children the progress which has been made by the working group on the development of a no-fault compensation system for birth-damaged children; when she expects the group to report; if she will seek to expedite the introduction of proposals in this area, having regard to the recent awards in the High Court and the increasing difficulties facing practitioners and especially obstetricians in finding insurance cover; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26317/04] Mr. Kehoe Mr. Kehoe 29. Mr. Kehoe asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she has proposals for a no-fault compensation scheme for children brain damaged as a result of an obstetrical accident. [26193/04] Ms Harney Ms Harney Ms Harney: I propose to take Questions Nos. 23 and 29 together. The advisory group examining the desirability of introducing a "no fault" compensation scheme for infants who suffered cerebral damage at, or close to, the time of birth made substantial progress in its work programme up to the end of 2003. It had completed the bulk of its research, including an examination of no-fault schemes in other jurisdictions. It also had the benefit of presentations by legal and medical experts from Ireland and abroad. Representatives of parents of children with cerebral palsy had also made a presentation to the group. The drafting of some chapters of the group's report had been allocated to a number of subgroups of the main group. The decision to include claims against consultants in the clinical indemnity scheme from 1 February 2004 has delayed the completion of the group's report. Consultants have withdrawn from ministerial committees and working groups. Therefore, it has not been possible to complete the group's report. I hope that when the difficulties surrounding the clinical indemnity scheme are resolved this group will be able to resume its deliberations immediately and complete its task as soon as possible. 462 While I would like to see the group produce a report quickly, I do not believe that this has any adverse impact on the affordability of indemnity cover for consultants. Consultants now have all of their practice in public hospitals, including their private practice, covered by the clinical indemnity scheme. In addition, the Government has put special arrangements in place to ensure that indemnity cover for consultants in full time private practice and for any private practice undertaken by public consultants which is not covered by the clinical indemnity scheme remains affordable. Consultant obstetricians are required to only purchase indemnity for the first €500,000 of any claim against them. There is also a protection against the cost of serial claims against any consultant in any one year. As a result, a consultant in full time private practices is paying €100,000 per annum rather the full economic cost of €350,000 for indemnity cover. This is a clear [462] demonstration of the Government's commitment to dealing with this issue. Mr. Stagg Mr. Stagg 24. Mr. Stagg asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the position regarding her discussions with the Irish Hospital Consultants Association regarding the proposed new system of medical insurance; if the commitment she gave to the recent IHCA conference in Kilkenny that no hospital consultant would be left without cover and no patient without redress still holds; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26318/04] Ms Harney Ms Harney Ms Harney: Discussions are continuing with the Irish Hospital Consultants Association and the Irish Medical Organisation on aspects of the coverage of claims against consultants by the clinical indemnity scheme. The major concern of both organisations is that there should be no doubt as to the position of consultants facing personal injury claims arising from events which occurred prior to the inception of the scheme. The Government's position on this matter has always been clear. The clinical indemnity scheme should not have to cover claims where insurance companies or mutual indemnity bodies had accepted premiums or subscriptions to cover these claims. This position is accepted by all of the insurers and indemnity bodies with the exception of the Medical Defence Union. The MDU has written to several of its former consultant obstetrician members in Ireland threatening to leave them without assistance in dealing with personal injury claims against them. The MDU has a moral and ethical obligation to provide assistance to these members. I also believe these decisions may be in breach of the MDU's memorandum and articles of association. Against that background, the first source of indemnity should be the body which accepted payment to cover these claims. That body should be subjected to the maximum pressure, including legal pressure, to ensure that it lives up to its obligations. In the event that it continues to refuse assistance in these cases, the plaintiffs and doctors involved cannot be left in an uncertain position while the MDU is pursued to honour its obligations.

Ok so you're so indispensable that you can't take 15 minutes off 4 times per week, but you're unable to plan ahead sufficiently to ensure that you have 30 minutes worth of work to do which can be performed without a computer? Give me a break.

Can someone explain... (159 comments)
IANAL as will be pretty evident from this confused series of questions, but from the article: 'They claim to have patented the method of using GPS location on vehicles to determine when they will arrive at a certain place,'
So, did they patent it or not? And if they did, then who the hell approved it as a valid innovation???!
If they didn't patent it then it's just a case of straight up fraud isn't it? Conversely, if they do actually hold this patent, then isn't just as clear cut that this poor guy is infringing it - no matter how ridiculous that seems? The article seems to suggest that they are now reviewing whether the patent is valid or not - but once a patent is granted doesn't that automatically mean it's valid too?

How does artificially cutting your children off from a huge part of the world help develop their brain in a healthy way?

Re:What The Fuck? (216 comments)
First of all, some of the smartest people on the planet have facebook accounts - it is not solely the domain of "stupid" people and "idiots" as you put it. There are also plenty of people who have enough self discipline that they are able to refrain from using facebook while they are at work and do not spend every waking moment taking selfies and posting pics of food they are about to eat. That you are unable to see this and instead implement a blanket hiring policy which eliminates candidates based on their social media preferences suggests that you yourself, sir, are in fact an idiot.

Money well spent on that research (184 comments)
If you are paying $15 a cup for coffee then presumably you have super awesome taste buds. So why do you need chemically analyse your coffee to tell if it's the real deal? You're coffee is either worth $15 or it isn't based on what it tastes like.
What a pointless bit of research. Have we now solved so many of the world's important problems that the top of the list is now "make sure hipsters are drinking genuine cat's bum coffee."
Hotel is wrong but customer sounds like a dick (432 comments)
The hotel is clearly stupid and they will also lose this battle. But why did the customer refuse to move to another hotel? They chose to stay in a bed which they knew had bed bugs? And suggested that the hotel manager get down on her knees and beg him not to tell anyone? Sounds like a serial victim on a power trip to me. Can't wait for something bad to happen to them so they can become the outraged centre of attention.

For the next two games, the Lady Mustangs — taking to the court with somewhat of a makeshift lineup — played well enough to push the Lady Hurricanes aside when it counted to tie the match 2-2 winning by scores of 25-21 and 27-25.
In game five Walker Valley (18-16, 4-7 District 5-AAA) according to head coach Judy Pruett, played not to lose but did just, that dropping the final game of the night to the Lady Hurricanes, 15-7.
"In game five we played not to get beat, and we got beat," said Pruett. "We had kind of a whole new lineup in games three, four and five. Abby Campbell did something to her toe today, we aren't sure if it's broken, but she was in a lot of pain. She said she didn't want to hurt the team and didn't feel like she was getting the ball to the setter. We went to a 5-1 which we haven't played all season and I felt like the girls really worked hard. They hustled and got a lot of balls up."
As they did in the first two games, Walker Valley took the lead to open game four, thanks to kills by Alex Crittenden and Rachel Lawhorn. Madison Pruett made it a 5-2 game before the Lady Hurricanes came back to tie at 7-7. Walker Valley won five of the next six points to take a 12-8 lead and held a 15-12 advantage after a Sara Wilson kill. East Hamilton fought back once again to tie it up at 17-17 before a six point run highlighted by Pruett aces gave the Lady Mustangs a 23-17 before closing out the 25-21 win.
Walker Valley took the opening lead for the fourth straight time in game four, but fell behind to the Lady Hurricanes 14-9 after a six point East Hamilton run. The Lady Mustangs bounced back off a Lawhorn kill and Alex Rominger aces to tie the game at 14-all. East Hamilton eased back out front 18-5, but a Wilson kill sparked a string of five points that put the Lady Mustangs on top 20-18. The teams tied the game six more times before the Lady Mustangs with Rominger at the service line took a 26-25 lead. A solid block by Crittenden gave Walker Valley the win.
East Hamilton took the early lead in the final game of the night. Walker Valley rallied back to tie it at 7-7 but the Lady Hurricanes took control and allowed only one more point before closing out the night with a 15-7 win.
"East Hamilton has a lot of good players, but they have the one great player. If you can stop her, most of the time you can play with them. If you can't, then like in the last game ... she put several balls away," said Pruett.
Pruett said the effort was there Tuesday night, but it will take a bigger and better one to get through the upcoming district tournament next week at Ooltewah.
"I think the girls played really well. In the district, it's looking like we're going to be sixth. It means we will be in the bottom pool which is not a bad pool to be in," Pruett admitted. "But, no matter how it goes, everybody in our district is strong. No matter who we play, they are all going to be strong matches. It just depends on who comes out and plays."
The good news for the Lady Mustangs is the return of Baylee Boen, who has been medically released to return to action.
"She didn't play tonight because she hasn't really practiced. She will practice and we will see how it goes Thursday with her. It's Senior Night, so she will play some," said Pruett.
Ashlyn Flock had 30 assists, 1 kill, 16 digs and 1 reception for the Lady Mustangs while Rominger served up four aces, had three kills, 22 digs and 18 receptions. Pruett racked up five aces aces, 11 kills, 16 digs and six receptions and teammate Lawhorn scored five blocks, 10 kills and eight digs. Gracie Pierce notched an assist, two kills, 11 digs and six receptions. Wilson logged three aces, seven kills and six digs while Katelin Scoggins ended with eight digs and seven receptions. Crittenden had three assists and eight kills, 1 dig. Campbell helped out with five assists and four digs and Mikayla Lumpkin scored two kills kills and had two digs and two receptions. Abbi Mason ended with two kills, two digs and three receptions.
The Walker Valley junior varsity opened the night with a pair of wins over the Lady Hurricanes by scores of 25-11 and 25-10.
Alexan Crittenden had four aces, 16 assists, six kills and six digs while Katelin Scoggins served an ace and had 12 digs and two receptions. Sara Wilson had kills, four digs and receptions and Mikayla Lumpkin had five killsa and four digs. Nikki Prugh ended with seven digs, Carly Frost booked six digs and a pair of receptions receptions and Abbi Mason scored two kills, two digs and receptions. Kate Essenburg added two kills, Julia McGuire tossed in a kill and a dig while Lindsay Staiman added a kill, a reception and booked one kill and Shiho Kazimi finished with one kill.

The usual success Illiana Christian posts in distance events has some unusual company this season in the sprints.
Illiana's Alvy Butler won the 100- and 200-meter dashes in Class 2A final times Saturday at the T.F. South Invitational to help the Vikings finish second to Riverside-Brookfield in the six-team meet.
R-B had 146 points, followed by Illiana (124), North Lawndale (84), Rich South (58), T.F. South (46) and Highland, Ind. (36).
Butler, a junior, clocked 10.98 seconds in the 100 and 22.45 in the 200, easing up a bit in the 100.
"I kind of cruised in at the end because my coach was yelling 'Cruise, cruise' because my hamstring is kind of bothering me,'' Butler said. "I didn't want to push and lean at the end.''
Butler ran a leg on the 400 relay, but was held out of the 800 relay as a precaution. He won the 100 among strong competition Friday at the York Invitational.
"We wanted him to find out what it's like to do those races on back-to-back days,'' Illiana coach Jeff White said, looking ahead to the state meet schedule. "Alvy hasn't lost a 100-meter race all year.''
"I'm a lot stronger than I was last year,'' Butler said. "Last year, I couldn't finish my 200s at all. I would always die out the last 30 meters. This year I'm finishing strong. When I get tired, I just open up my stride.''
Illiana opened with a 3,200 relay win from Nick Wondaal, Kevin Vroegh, Austin Gibson and Jacob Thompson (9 minutes, 4.99 seconds). Wondaal and Vroegh were on last year's group that finished third in the state.
Wondaal won the 1,600 (4:37.74), older brother, Tony, won the 800 (2:03.64), Vroegh took the 400 (52.84), Bryan Perschbacher won the triple jump (37 feet, 8 inches) and Nick Fiene took the 3,200 (10:11.17) after clocking an impressive 4:22.94 to win the 1,600 at the York Invitational.
"York was an opportunity for our guys to run one race to see if everybody can pr (personal record),'' White said.
Vroegh broke the 800 school record of 1:57.67 with a 1:55.87 for third place at the York meet.
"I'd like to be in the low 1:50s, maybe 1:52, by the end of the season,'' Vroegh said. "That's my ultimate goal.''
T.F. South had two winners Saturday: Adam Kessler in the shot put (49-7) and Jareyl Stone in the long jump (17-7).
North Lawndale's Imani Payton, a 2A state finalist last season in the 300 hurdles, won the 110 hurdles (14.60) and the 300 hurdles (40.05).
Depth was the difference for R-B, which had first-place finishes from its 400 relay (45.84) and 1,600 relay (3:39.37) over Illiana (3:45.15).

Hi Chris!
This is a great site. Thank you for sharing this stuff with us. Please keep the good work up!
But, you´re wrong about the drag and drop video/audio in FCP. Just deactivate the source-icon on the left of the timeline, video or audio, and you can drag the source without video or audio.
This also works with dragging clips directly from the bin in FCP.
With the best intentions, ronald
Ronald... It's hard sometimes to be exhaustively clear in a tutorial when you are trying to be fast to respect peoples time. What I like about the implementation of "audio only drag" or "video only drag" in PPro is that those little icons are RIGHT there. In the FCP way I have to move way over to the left of the timeline and turn off the track selectors. But u are right there is a way to do it in FCP.
thanks for the comment.
final cut does audio automation as well
I love you man! Seriously, I did not see anywhere to do that "add effects" to audio mixer. That is just so damn cool! Thanks man!!!

Welcome to efrankel's Member Page
See my Clippings See my Journal See my trade list Send me an email
Although I'm not the real gardener in my family--my husband has created a prize-winning garden over the past 15 years--I'm about to add my stamp to our garden by creating a small bulb garden in the midst of our grasses, hostas, shrubs and perennials.
I have had my hands in the dirt since I was a kid, but tend to get enthusiastic at the beginning and then not keep up the day-to-day maintenance--so that many of the gardens I've started have either died or gotten rather untidy. I am hoping that this new venture into bulbs will keep me focused and invested.
I'm a writer, an editor, a storyteller, and a manager, involved in Jewish publishing. I've been married for 30 years, have two grown children, and a new granddaughter, and one surviving cat. We live in a very green part of Northwest Philadelphia, with great access to Fairmount Park and a lovely bird-watching jewel of a park called Carpenter Woods.
Glad to join you all!

To recover from my own journey, I sit for hours on a low couch, watching fishing boats navigate the bubbling brine. The Tokyo- and Paris-based design firm Ciel Rouge devised the Modernist concrete-and-steel resort on an intertidal zone between the surf and a steep hillside. Built on pylons behind a breakwater, the single-level structure arcs horizontally along the shore so that wherever guests perch (on deck chaises, at dining tables, or in bed) their views of the Pacific are unobstructed. "It's as though you are living in the sea," says Uemura. "You can listen, watch, and breathe it." He has certainly eliminated terrestrial distractions: the plain white rooms reflect the aesthetic of someone who knows that immersion doesn't require turndown chocolates or pillow menus.
When I wander along Utoco's sheltered deck, every curve reveals another intentionally framed scene. The building even acts as a sounding board for the offshore breeze and ocean spray; at key points near reception and the spa, large embrasures allow both to whisper, shell-like, in my ear. In keeping with the marine theme, the hotel's seafood is brought in on boats that cruise past its breakwater. In the open-plan restaurant, big portholes look out at a shoreline that I seem to be leaving behind, as the staff serves miso soup with aosa seaweed, grilled fish marinated in rice vinegar, crispy tempura shrimp, and smoked tofu dipped in Muroto sea salt.
The next morning, walking into the ovoid spa at the far end of the complex, I'm immediately transported to the Riviera. Except no one speaks French. For that matter, the staff barely speaks English. It's not difficult, though, to decipher the familiar ritual—jet baths, soaking pools, and a sage-scented hammam. But Uemura's taken thalassotherapy to a new extreme. The hotel boutique stocks Uemura's latest "Depsea Moisture" skin-care products. Brushing with mineralized toothpaste (also made with the water) is odd for someone accustomed to saccharine American brands. Ditto the slightly saline boutique water (packaged in a ripple-effect bottle designed by French artist Jean-Pierre Vitrac), which counters the dehydration I suffer after a transpacific crossing. Still, I suspect "Château du Tap" would likely have the same effect.
The spa menu is equally pared down to healthy essentials: algae and fango mud applied in the two body wraps are imported from France but blended with Cape Muroto waters. A moisturizing facial uses featherlight cleansers and creams from Uemura's son Hiroshi's Utowa skin-care line. It's refreshing to experience a session without the fervent product up-selling that typically accompanies Western treatments. In fact, there is a distinct absence of hackneyed spa frills. No silly stone massages or flax-filled eye pillows here. But I can't help laughing as one of the therapists leads me into an aerosol chamber to inhale misted seawater. A black light imbues my white cotton robe with a phosphorescent glow. Supposedly simulating the profound darkness at full fathom five, it's a little too Disco Fever for me.
The similarities to thalassotherapy centers I've visited in France cease as soon as I dip into the indoor pool. The deep-sea water, heated to body temperature, has an effervescent quality that can't be credited to the underwater jets bubbling at resting stations around the edge. Eventually, I wind up monopolizing the outdoor whirlpool, on a sunny deck above the rocks where seabirds rest. The longer I steep, the less I am inclined to quit, especially after realizing that my fingers and toes don't shrivel. This novel water certainly seems to improve the softness and tone of my travel-worn skin.
Thanks to robotic submarines and pumping systems, the abyssal zone is no longer a mysterious realm of giant squid and predators with glowing eyeballs. And Shu Uemura isn't the only fish in the sea who is convinced that this resource has curative potential. Admittedly, his spa had initially seemed too minimal for me: just water, water everywhere. But during the next two days, after more long soaks in Utoco's fizzy pools, I begin to notice a sea change of my own. Perhaps, at last, I've found my inner Nemo.
