The Royal Engineers of 1914-1918
This section of the Long, Long Trail will be helpful for anyone wishing to find out about the history of the units of the Royal Engineers.
The war of 1914-1918 relied on engineering. Without engineers there would have been no supply to the armies, because the RE's maintained the railways, roads, water supply, bridges and transport. RE's also operated the railways and inland waterways. There would have been no communications, because the RE's maintained the telephones, wireless and other signalling equipment. There would have been little cover for the infantry and no positions for the artillery, because the RE's designed and built the front-line fortifications. It fell to the technically skilled RE's to develop responses to chemical and underground warfare. And finally, without the RE's the infantry and artillery would have soon been powerless, as they maintained the guns and other weapons. Little wonder that the Royal Engineers grew into a large and complex organisation.
Manpower: how big was the RE?
On 1 August 1914, the RE consisted of 1056 officers and 10394 men of the regular army and Special Reserve, plus another 513 and 13127 respectively serving with the RE of the Territorial Force. By the same date in 1917, it had grown to a total manpower of 295668. In other words, it was twelve times bigger than the peacetime establishment.
The Royal Engineers in 1914
The officers and men mentioned above in 1914 manned 26 coastal defence Fortress Companies (of which 15 were overseas); 15 Field Companies (2); 7 Signal Companies (1); 3 Survey Companies, 2 Railway Companies; 2 Cable and Airline (signalling) Companies and miscellaneous other units. There were also 9 Depot companies carrying out training and administrative duties, as well as various Schools. The detailed sections below describe how these numbers and types of unit expanded during the war.

The Field and Signals Companies
The most numerous of the RE units, the Field and Signals Companies provided the technical expertise at the front-lines. |

The composition of Field and Signals Companies |
The Field Survey units
Knowing the details of the ground on your and the enemy's side is always important in war - but none more so than when you need to be able to identify where your enemy is and lay down fire with pinpoint accuracy. This was the job of the RE Survey units. |
The Field Survey RE |
The Special Companies RE
Formed following Germany's first strike using poison gas at the Second Battle of Ypres, the RE Special Companies were engaged in deadly chemical warfare. |
The Special Companies RE |
The Tunnelling Companies RE
As war on the Western Front assumed siege conditions, underground mining operations began and the Royal Engineers organised specialist units to deal with it. |
The Tunnelling Companies RE |
The Railway and Waterways Companies RE
Although aircraft developed fast during the war, the mass supply of men, munitions, rations, forage and equipment depended heavily on the sea and on railways. |
The Railway Construction Companies RE |
The Light Railway Companies RE |
The Inland Waterways and Docks Companies RE |

Hello! Sorry that I haven't posted anything for ages. I could make lots of excuses as to why this is, but the simple truth is that I've been doing other things. Presumably this will mean more posts in the next few weeks. No. While I do have one or two nearly written, I have to go away for a couple of weeks on Friday. Normal service will be resumed after that. Bye for now.

Auction Fever Extra - She's At It Again!
In a recent (ish) blog I detailed Badger's love of online auction and shopping sites. I thought that it couldn't get worse, but it has ...
I think her obsession has increased because of a number of factors. Firstly, and obviously, it's her online purchasing. Secondly, it's TV shows like 'Bargain Hunt' - Badger used to hate daytime TV stuff, but, while she was ill recently, she started to watch avidly. Now ... she's started to flirt with the idea of real-life auctions! Her theory, based totally on watching 'Bargain Hunt', is that anything bought (from eBay, Boot Fairs etc) for a fiver, will always make money at an auction house. I'm not convinced that this is correct, but what do I know?
She started to buy items to place into an auction. Most of it is 'Murano' - hideous Venetian glass objects. Just to confirm, they are HIDEOUS. We've been to an Auction House and had some stuff valued - it will go to auction next week. In addition, I've been dispatched to the loft space several times to retrieve useless junk ( or valued family treasures as Badger puts it)
I think we have a long way to go with this one!

Auction Fever
Badger was not much of a 'web-surfer' until she met me. I have a geek gene and spend far too long online. At first, she wasn't too interested until she realised that you can shop from home using nothing more than a credit card and a browser. Since then she's become something of an expert. Could be the unlimited supply of shoes, I guess.
I've had an eBay account for quite a few years. I buy things from time to time. Badger has taken over the account (still in my name) and has become fairly addicted to finding "bargains". I only have to mention something that we need to buy and she's straight into the eBay search box. Sometimes, I log-in just to see what she's listing. There'll be all sorts of things. Gardening equipment, car parts, books, home wares, hair-straighteners, you name it, she'll search for it! I'm just glad that they don't sell groceries - I'd starve to death while she looked for those elusive bargains.
Some time ago, we were looking for a new sofa. She spent months listing them, contacting sellers, calling me over to look at sofa after sofa, bidding, listing some more, 'just missing out' on yet another one. Guess what? After a while (seemed like an eternity), we went to one of the large High Street stores and bought ... a sofa!
On another occasion, she successfully won a coffee table at a reasonable price. She hadn't checked the Seller's location (it was sold as collection by buyer only) until after she won it. Bearing in mind that we live in Derbyshire, collecting the table was an adventure. I had to drive to South Wales, rural South Wales that doesn't show up on my Tom-Tom satnav! To add insult to injury (and I do mean injury) the coffee-table was made from railway sleepers and weighed a ton. I had major fun trying to load it into the back of the car. I took three of us to unload the damn thing when I got back. This "bargain", when you consider fuels costs, the time taken and back-medication, wasn't! I seem to spend an inordinate amount of time, these days, trailing around the countryside collecting random tat.
We're now looking for a new coffee-table again. She's decided that she doesn't like the current one. I suppose I have several months of purgatory to look forward to. Before I'm dispatched to some far-flung spot , like the Outer Hebrides, to collect it.
Badger has begun to expand her online shopping forays to more sites (eeeeeeek!) I don't know which ones, but I'll bet that I have some role to play (probably collecting). There is an upside to this, she tells me, "we always get a bargain"!

I sacrificed so very much for these cinnamon rolls. Read all about it.
Never commit to serving a particular dish before you read the entire recipe. If I had known these would take 4 1/2 hours, I probably would have picked up a can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, and I doubt he would have cared. He just seemed so impressed by the fact that they would be "homemade". So am I, now that I know that means getting up at 7 am on a holiday morning.
But there I was. 7 am. Mixing up the dough for cinnamon rolls. And in my sleepy state, I might have forgotten to warm the buttermilk, which probably affected the way they didn't rise all that much until it was time to bake. Bah!
This recipe is taken from my favorite cookbook ever. I changed it up just a bit, though, because the filling is a bit much otherwise.
The dough:
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, warm (oh… whoops!)
- 6 Tablespoons butter, melted and cooled until warm
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 envelope (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant or rapid-rise yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Whisk the wet ingredients together. Separately, mix the dry ingredients. Mix them all together. Knead until the dough is smooth. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise for a couple hours (until doubled in size).
Roll the dough out into a huge rectangle. Then mix the filling…
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Brush the dough with 1 Tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle the filling over this. Really rub the filling into the dough, otherwise it'll be a big mess later. This is bad.
Roll the dough up. Seal off the ends and turn them under. Cut the cylinder into 12 equal pieces. Place in greased pan. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for about an hour to an hour and a half (until nearly doubled in size). You'll bake these in an over preheated to 350 for 25-30 minutes.
In the meantime, make the icing…
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons buttermilk or milk
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
Mix this. Real good. Until smooth, it says. Yup, keep mixing. Maybe you should use a whisk?
Then wha-bam! Ice the golden brown suckers! Then eat them. 'Cause they're real good. See?
Do you see that yummy fruit dip?

How-To Insights For Expanding Your Practice
When looking to expand your practice, there are an array of tactics you can use to help bolster your patient base. You could take a closer look at advances in technology that could either provide a new service for patients or enhance efficiency. Enhancing your Web presence is another avenue you can take. Embracing continuous quality measures is another approach. However, the consensus among practice management experts is that physician referrals are the golden nuggets of a successful practice. For maximum effect, you should target the gatekeepers at the practices of internists, general practitioners and family medicine specialists. The gatekeepers have a firm hold on the faucet of patient referrals to our offices. Establishing good relationships with these individuals will serve to change the patient flow from a dribble to a solid outpour. A supportive gatekeeper can easily create a steady flow of new patient referrals into a specialty practice. The two most effective ways of interacting in a positive manner with targeted gatekeepers are through social interactions and reciprocal referral activity. Social activities might include a sporting event, athletic competition, private club events or some other shared interest. Reciprocal referrals are extremely effective. In short, make an effort to refer patients to the gatekeeper for medical care. This demonstrates your professional confidence and helps to invite further referral activity from the target source. A third important way of influencing referral activity is to market a sub-specialty area of interest. While you cannot be everything to everyone, you can select one or two areas of interest and develop specific levels of expertise within those fields. It is then essential to market or communicate these available areas of interest to the gatekeeper in the hopes of encouraging increased referrals from his or her practice. How Your Staff Can Help Build Referrals Building referrals does not stop at interacting with other practitioners. It's also a great idea to have your staff reach out to the staffs of other doctors via a "Lunch and Learn" session. Neil Baum, MD, an urologist who has written multiple books on marketing a medical practice, initially popularized the concept. The program runs on the premise that a significant amount of referrals is generated not by the doctor but by his or her staff. Therefore, staff runs the program for staff. Start by developing a list of target practices from which you would like to see referrals. These can be practices that you see patients from already or practices that are not currently using your services. These may include family practice, internal medicine, endocrinology, rheumatology, chiropractors, orthopedics or other podiatrists. Prioritize the list and start with the offices you know. This makes it easier for you and your staff to get started with familiar people. "Lunch and Learn" allows the staff from other offices to tour your office over lunch and learn what a podiatrist actually does. Your staff in turn will learn about what they do in their office as well. Your staff may opt to go to the referring practice with lunch if that works better for them. The DPM is not present for the program, which allows the staff to conduct the "Lunch and Learn" session on their own. As with any new program, you should coach your staff on how to run a "Lunch and Learn" session. Script out the phone invitation for your receptionist. Cover the topics you would like to see discussed during the 45-minute program. You want the visiting staff to leave with a greater appreciation for the services you and your staff provide. Maximize Your Web Presence In today's age of sophisticated technology, it is unrealistic to think your office can expand its reach and advance to its fullest capacity without taking full advantage of the Internet. Having your own Web page can take your practice to a whole new level of marketing and expansion. Physician-based Web sites can help to provide patients with a more valuable media for not only obtaining "trusted" medical information, but also in offering physician-patient interactive services. Now, at a time most convenient to them in the privacy of their own home, patients can schedule appointments and submit prescription renewal requests with only the touch of a finger. When dealing with Web sites, content is of prime importance and your main focus should be to offer patients value.

While I was at BusyBee the other day I was looking at this mill.http://www.busybeetools.com/products...ADOUT-MT3.html I am thinking of starting to save up for one and was wondering if anyone had one or used one? It will be sometime before I can get it so I thought I should at least start asking some questions. I am not married to this one, just thought it look half decent for the price. The one review was good. Thanks John
i Have read lots on people buying mills and the first thing is always buy the version with an r8 spindle. Different companies offer the same size mill with an r8 spindle. They say it is easier to but tooling. Just my 2 cents.
+1 on what Bronson said. R8 is easier to get tooling. MT3 limits you almost to what you can get from Busy Bee, but R8 opens up way more sources. Also, you'll find MT3 collets are more expensive (check the BB website and compare R8 collets to MT3) Busy bee have the same model for $300 more in an R8 spindle (the CX600 http://www.busybeetools.com/products...EADOUT-R8.html) . Note that I believe this is the same as the Grizzly G0704 mill http://www.grizzly.com/products/Dril...th-Stand/G0704 so that even after shipping you're further ahead buying from Grizzly (and they do ship to Canada now). Edit: Sign up to get Grizzly's catalog if you've never ordered from them before and the catalog comes in with a coupon code for 5% off (thats $50 on a 1K order) - code is good for the year to let you save up your money. Mike
john you might want to ask brian rupnow about that mill as i think he has one. chuck

Machine Tool Warehouse in Cambridge ON has some nice machines as well and competitively priced. Cheers, Cole
I have a CT129N, go for the CX600! When I got the CT129N, it was the only & biggest 'bench-top' column style mill\drill available, 3/4HP motor, MT3 Spindle. The CX600 has 1HP motor & R8 Spindle. Also, don't bother with the 'stock' stand, although sturdy, it's too short and 'nil' for storage. I got the 'Grey' 95408 side rider, the 18" x 18" foot print is perfect, as well, the side cabinet will be perfect for any DRO\CnC electronics upgrade. The stock stand (in my case) was part of the sale price but now is a perfect grinder stand! I also added about 200Lbs in angle, channel and plate steel, (IMHO when it comes to 'Milling', the more rigid\massive the better,) as well as the 100 or so pounds of tooling in the drawers. If I was doing this again, I'd definately get the CX for a 'bench-top' mill. That's my I-wish-the-CX600-was-available-four-years-ago opinion. Cheers Chazz

I bought an SX2L and had a problem with the board a few months later. One e mail later i had a replacement part! Not just the main board but the smaller one with the pot on too! Andrew
The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. Time is money, money is the root of all evil, and knowledge is power. Therefore, procrastination is the key to world peace.
Thanks guys. It seems that an R8 collect is what I should be looking for better options for tooling. I haven't looked though all of the links get, but will in the next few days. I am sure I will have more questions. Thanks again John
HI John I would tend to agree on the R8 .However there are times when I wonder had I went with the MT3, would be able to use my MT3 collet collection in the headstock of my lathe? Regards ...Bert

Lucy Marie Rayner, a beautiful, sensitive soul, a daughter, a sister, a girlfriend, a grand daughter, a cousin, an auntie, a best friend, a helper, a hard worker, a diva, a perfectionist, a wild child, a risk taker, a party animal, the list goes on. Lucy took her own life on the 05th May 2012 aged 22 years.
No one saw it coming. It was a total surprise to us all.
As heart broken as we all are, she explained how she felt in the letter she left in the moments before she took her own life. She loved us all but she didn't love herself or her life, it was a struggle for her and she wanted some peace.
We all knew that she had mood swings and she did go to the doctor but she was not diagnosed as having depression or any form of mental illness.
Lucy didn't talk about her feelings and found it hard expressing her emotions. This page is set up in memory of Lucy and for those who want to help donate and express their love and support for the 'The Lucy Rayner Foundation'.
To promote and raise awareness of the physical and mental health of persons suffering from depression, in particular, but not exclusively young adults by such means as the trustees in their absolute discretion think fit.
'Viva Las Vegas' themed charity night
Each year we are plan to hold an annual Charity events to raise money for our Charity. As Lucy's birthday fulls in October, this year it will be held at The Reigate Manor Hotel.

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced today the issuance of a Cease and Desist Order against HSBC Bank USA, N.A., McLean, Virginia, for violating the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and its underlying regulations. The Order requires the bank to take comprehensive corrective actions to improve its BSA compliance program. Today's action does not preclude the OCC from assessing a civil money penalty against the bank.
Concurrent with the OCC's enforcement action, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has issued a Cease and Desist Order upon Consent with the bank's parent company, HSBC North America Holdings, Inc., to ensure the adequacy of the parent company's firm-wide compliance risk-management program.
The OCC found that the bank's BSA compliance program had deficiencies with respect to suspicious activity reporting, monitoring of bulk cash purchases and international funds transfers, customer due diligence concerning its foreign affiliates, and risk assessment with respect to politically-exposed persons and their associates. These findings resulted in violations by the bank of statutory and regulatory requirements to maintain an adequate BSA compliance program, file suspicious activity reports, and conduct appropriate due diligence on foreign correspondent accounts.
A copy of the OCC's enforcement action is attached.

This page captures ideas for improving expression handling over = the course of 2.4.x development.
=20Filter Brainstorming at Refractions:
=20Literal expressions (and the Filter/Expression) system are "semi-ty= ped". Literal values can be represented as plain text or an xml fragme= nt; but they are interpreted based on context.
=20This problem breaks down into two:
=20Gabriel has mentioned in email a Jakarta Commons package suitable for ha=
ndling the String constants.
See http://jira.codeh=
aus.org/browse/GEOT-602 for more background.
<Literal>1234</Literal> <!-- used as a string --> <Literal>1234</Literal> <!-- used as an integer --> <Literal>1234.56</Literal> <!-- used as an integer 1235-->= ; <Literal>123E456</Literal> <!-- used as string --> <Literal>123E456</Literal> <!-- used as integer --> <Literal>2006/11/15</Literal> <!-- used as a date --> <Literal>06/11/2006</Literal> 10:04:06:37<!-- used as a time= stamp --> <Literal>true <!-- used as Boolean --> <Literal>1</Literal> <!-- used as Boolean -->=20
Need examples of time range
=20The first thing to note is that handing Literals and Context may be the = same problem:
=20If we are "Eager" we need to ensure that we handle Literals co= rrectly at parse time, if we are lazy we can put this off to evaualtion tim= e. Give our uses cases (handling the same literal as both an Integer and St= ring) my money is on the lazy approach.
=20 Not acceptable
The current implementation(s):
xpression - number() and friends
Not implemented
=20With this approach, we simply register instances of Converter and things= will be happy.
=20ConvertUtils is somewhat limited:
=20We have reports of the implementation being based on singletons and gene= rall not being suitable.
=20This approach also has the benefit of being able to wrap around ConvertU= tils, or any other library that performs literal parsing, for instance = java.beans.PropertyEditor. The interface might look something like:
=20interface ConverterFactory { Converter createConverter( Object source, Class target, Hints hints; } interface Converter { boolean canConvert( Object source, Class target ); Object convert( Object source, Class target ); }=20
Creating an implementation based on ConvertUtils:
=20class CommonsConverterFactory implements ConverterFactory { Converter createConverter( Object source, Class target, Hints hints ) { return new CommonsConverter( CommonsUtils.lookup( target ) ); } }=20
And one based on PropertyEditorManager:
=20class CommonsConverter implements Converter { Converter createConverter( Object source, Class target, Hints hints ) { return new PropertyEditorConverter( PropertyEditorManager.findEditor( = type ) ); } }=20
When dealing with a Date object and more =
then one Converter is avilable how can one choose between them?
If using the extension point, the first you get. The only way to=
counter act this is for the client to create a factory directly, or supply=
some kind of hint, liks for instance a date format.
Property expressions need to be able to extract information from a numbe= r of sources:
=20And they need to implement a subset of XPath (as documented by the Filte= r specification.
=20JXPath provides us with both needs.
=20<Property>name</Property> <!-- access named attribute --> <Property>@gml.id</Property> <!-- access to feature id -->= ; <Property>foo[2]</Property> <!-- index into an array --> <Property>date/year</Property> <!-- from feature to pojo --&= gt;=20
=20<Property>foo[bar]</Property> <!-- index into an array dynam= ically --> <sld:Label> Speed: <Property>SPEED<Property> <Property>UNIT</Pr= operty> </sld:Label>=20
=20<Property>*/SPEED</Property> <!-- SPEED for all contents --&= gt;=20
This option was implemented
=20Here are the links to JXPath:
=20And we will need something like the following to hook it up:
=20interface PropertyAccessor { /** * Retrived indicated content from obj. * <p> * may be collection as dictated by xpath specification * </p> * @return result of xpath query */ public Object get( Object obj, String xpath ); public void set( Object obj, String xpath, Object value); }=20
And of course a Factory...
=20interface PropertyAccessorFactory { boolean canHandle( Class type, String xpath ); // note: Filter.class is= a type PropertyHandler create( Map hints ); }=20
Full XPath support is only one test .. so lets try for the following imp= lementations:
=20We also need to evaulate our expression into the "context" it = is expected. As an example when making a query against a datastore with an = Interger "size" attribute, an expression will need to be sure to = provide an Integer.
=20<function name=3Dsin> <!-- sin( double ): double --> <div> <literal>PI</literal> <!-- constant --> <literal>2</literal> <!-- double context --> </div> </function>=20
<PropertyEqualTo> <PropertyName>integerProperty</PropertyName> <!-- intege= r property --> <Add> <!-- addition needs to evaluate as integer --> <Literal>2.0</Literal> <Literal>4.0</Literal> </Add> </PropertyEqualTo>=20
Here are a couple options for providing "context" to our exist= ing filter evaulation interfaces.
=20This option was implemented
=20Add an additional method to Expression which takes a Class parameter:
=20interface Expression { Object evaluate( Object object ); Object evaluate( Object object, Class context ); }=20
The addition being the Class hint parameter, which as it states= is a hint to the expression about which type of object to return.
=20This requires each and every expression (including all functions) to be = able to type morph.
=20This option not implemented
=20We can have the evaulate method return a Value Object (basically a value= wrapper) rather then an explicit value:
=20interface Expression { Object evaluate( Object object ); // "natural value" Value eval( Object object ); }=20
We can then use Value to "unpack" the value into the type requ= ired for the context:
=20interface ExpressionValue { Object value( Class context); void setValue( Object ); Object getValue(); }=20
This approach matches the problem in that it let's us put off typing unt= il it is needed (the same value may be used as a "compariable, string,= and interger"), but it is not very cool for those expecting a real va= lue out of evaualte( Object ), breaking out another method is an option.
=20This option incomplete
=20To pull this off, expressions will now behave lazily, holding onto just = a String, which can be a simple value, or something more complicated like a= n xml fragement.
=20As described in http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-= 602, break out an extension point.
=20Cannot recommend the use of a String internally, Style objects like Stro= ke often use both "#FFFFFF" and Color.WHITE in time critical code= ). Since this approach is similar, I would recommend simply making use of t= he above ExpressionValue interface internally for both Cache and Morph.
= =20Since type morphing is mostly covered in the preceeding section on liter= al I am going to focus on the API differences between context push and cont= ext pull.
=20Let's start by isolating the type morphing into a single utility class f= or implementators:
=20class ExpressionValue { ExpressionValue( Object value ); ExpressionValue( double value ); ... Object getValue( Class type ); void putValue( Object value ); ... double doubleValue(); void putValue( double value ); ... String toLiteral(); // may produce XML fragment if complex String toLiteral(URI format); }=20
Putting together the proposed API with ExpressionValue we have:
=20class Sin implements Function { ... ... Object evaluate( Object object ){ return eval( object ).getValue( Double.class ); } Object evaluate( Object object, Class context){ ExpressionValue theta =3D new ExpressionValue( param.evaulate( objec= t ) ); ExpressionValue result =3D new ExpressionValue( Math.sin( theta.doub= leValue() ) ); return result.getValue( context ); } }=20
=20Here is what changing Expression to use ExpressionValue would look like:=
=20class Eval extends Expression { ExpressionValue eval( Object value ); }=20
Putting this together we have:
=20class Sin implements Function, Eval { ... ... Object evaluate( Object object ){ return eval( object ).getValue( Double.class ); } ExpressionValue eval( Object object ){ ExpressionValue theta =3D param.eval( object ); return new ExpressionValue( Math.sin( theta.doubleValue() ) ); } }=20
=20As we get more and more implementations of Geometry (beyond the basic JT= S) it would be nice to keep the filter love flowing.
=20This is a similar problem to that delth with by Property Expression (in = that we need to be sure we have an implementation on hand to deal with the = provided content. This time rather then simple access we need to be able to= :
=20The morph part is well covered by the #Evaluation Context, an initial implementation base= d on WKT can morph from everything into JTS Geometry - where the functions = work. More advanced implementations like Oracle SDO Geometry, or the PostGI= S Geometry classes, can take the WKB route and not lose accuracy.
=20The Applying a Filter part can be handled using the same stratagy as Pro= perty Expresion a small interface that does what is needed.
=20..list of filter functions...=20
All of the above examples need to work with the cross product of:
=20Using a WKT (or WKB) Converer to allow the Evaluation Context solution t= o convert to JTS would let the existing Spatial Filter Implementations work= out of the box with no further effort. They would "pull" the Geo= metry implementation into a JTS Geometry and then proceed form there.
= =20// no new code example needed - covered by our current needs=20
Please note reprojection is not covered as part of this conve= rsion "pull"; although it could be considered part of the process= (our pull method simply takes a class but that can be changed).
=20Letting the Geometry implementations exist at the same level as JTS (and= with greater range of expression would be a good thing.
=20interface SpatialStratagy { Class forGeometryType(); // return XXXX.class boolean contains( Object a, Object b); // both a and b have been pulled i= nto XXXX.class boolean within( Object a, Object b ); // etc... ... }=20
Example SpatialStratagy implementation:
=20interface JTSSpatialStratagy { Class forGeometryType(){ return Geometry.class; ) boolean contains( Object a, Object b){ Geometry aGeom =3D (Geometry) a; Geometry aGeom =3D (Geometry) a; return aGeom.contains( bGeom ); } boolean within( Object a, Object b ){ .... } ... }=20
Our implementations would need to look up a Spatial Stratagy using the f= actory dance as usual. A SpatialStratagy implementation for each Geometry i= mplementation would be quick to implement and allow for optimized performan= ce. Adding in WKB Converters would let implementations work together withou= t data loss.
=20class ContainsUmberImpl implements Contains { ... public void evaualte( Obj obj, Class type){ Object geomA =3D param1.evaulate( obj ); // get back some kind of = Geom SpatialStratagy spatial =3D ff.aquireSpatialStratagy( geomA.getCla= ss() ); if( spatial =3D=3D null ){ // try to JTS spatial =3D ff.aquireSpatialStratagy( Geometry.class ); geomA =3D param1.evaulate( obj, Geometry.class ); // get back s= ome kind=20 } Object geomB =3D param2.evaulate( obj, spatial.forGeometryType()); =20 return spatial.contains( geomA, geomB ); } ... }=20

Behavior Makeover: Overperfectionism
In This Article: | |
Use the following as a guide to help your kid bounce back from setbacks:
- Give permission to make errors. We need to give our kids permission to fail and help them recognize that mistakes can be positive learning experiences. So make mistakes be okay in your household. Say again and again, "It's okay to make a mistake."
- Show acceptance. Whenever your kid makes a mistake, show your support with both your words and your nonverbal reactions. The quickest way our kids will learn to erase the idea that mistakes are fatal is feeling our accepting response to their errors.
- Don't yell, shame, criticize, judge, blame, or ridicule. Nobody (especially children!) likes to make mistakes, and they hate to be reminded that they made them.
- Don't call it a mistake! A common behavior of kids who bounce back is that they are not thrown by errors. In fact, they often call mistakes by other names (glitch, bug, a temporary) so they won't discourage themselves in the middle of their learning. Help your kid come up with a word to say inside his head whenever he encounters a mistake. Any word will do; just make sure to help him practice saying it over and over so he'll remember to use it when he really makes a mistake.
- Model how to cope. Turn your own mistakes into success lessons for your child by modeling how you cope with your error. First, say to your child what your mistake was. Then say what you learned. Here's the formula: "My mistake was . . . " "I learned . . . from my mistake." Example: "I really blew that recipe for the cheesecake. Next time I'll read the whole recipe first, so I'll remember to add the eggs." "I had to redo a whole report at work today because I forgot to save the document on my hard drive. Next time, I'll be sure to save as I go along."
- Teach an affirmation. Help your kid learn a statement to say to himself to bounce back from defeat for example, "It doesn't have to be perfect." "It's okay to make a mistake." "I can turn it around." "Everybody makes mistakes." Once your child selects one, help him practice saying the same affirmation out loud several times for a few days. The more he hears it, the greater is the chance he'll remember it and use it.
How did you handle defeat and failure when you were growing up? Do you see any of those same behaviors in your child? Kids love to hear that their parents made mistakes when they were growing up. Have you shared your pain of failure with your child? Consider doing so. Did you learn any coping strategies that helped you bounce back? What were they? Where did you learn them? Have you modeled any of those strategies to your child? If not, think about how you might teach them to your child. Write down your reflections and plan.
Now it's time to take action to begin making over your kid's behavior. Use your Makeover Journal to write down your thoughts and develop your plan.
- Think about your kid's behavior. Has your kid always shown overperfectionist behaviors? If not, when did you first notice them? Why do you think they emerged just then? What factors might have triggered the trait? Write your thoughts.
- Reflect on which issues exacerbate your kid's perfectionism tendencies. Be specific. For instance, don't say "school" if not every school subject concerns her; maybe it's only math or spelling tests that bother her. Make a list of areas that tend to trigger your kid's fear of mistakes. Now reread the list to see if there is a pattern. You may discover that your child is concerned about being the best only in front of a group or always getting a perfect score on every class test. Is there anything you can do to alleviate her concerns by helping her learn to perform just for the fun of performing or help her realize that even the most intelligent people always learn from their inevitable slips and mistakes? Write your thoughts.
- Review the strategies. Choose two to try with your kid. Write down your plans.
- How do you typically react to your kid's errors? These reactions are especially deadly: yelling, shaming, criticizing, judging, ridiculing, or saying "I told you so." Now reflect on how your kid responds to your reaction. What might you do to change your reaction so it is more affirming and noncritical? Write what you'll say the next time your kid makes an error or fears failure. Here are three possibilities: Focus on what she's trying to achieve: "How did you want this to turn out?" Affirm your belief in her: "I know you can do it. Hang in there." Support trying again: "Just because it isn't easy doesn't mean you're not good at it."

Is it possible that the attraction between Rob and Riley started even before he split from Kristen Stewart? A newly released photo shows the pair getting close to each other… at K-Stew's birthday party!
Not-so-happy birthday to Kristen Stewart! Did Riley Keough actually steal Robert Pattinson away at her good friend's birthday party?
Robert Pattinson & Riley Keough Hang Out At Kristen Stewart's Birthday Party
In a new picture taken on Kristen's birthday night on April 9, Rob and Riley are hanging out and seem to be way closer than just friends.
They're clearly having a good time together and the birthday girl, Kristen, is nowhere in sight.
On April 11, two days after the party, an eyewitness told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Rob and Kristen "were so cute together" at her party, but that "they weren't glued to each other's sides." At the time the first part of that statement seemed more important — now that Rob and Kristen have split and Riley has swooped in, the second part is much more intriguing.
Was K-Stew's birthday the night Riley planted the seed of her relationship with Rob? R-Patz and Kristen didn't break up for about another month, but perhaps Rob and Riley tried to ignore their attraction to each other during that time for Kristen's sake until they couldn't ignore it anymore.
Kristen Stewart 'Furious' Over Robert Pattinson & Riley Keough
That would also further explain why Kristen has reportedly been so mad over Rob's new love interest. "Kristen is furious," a source told Grazia magazine. "Kristen is seething. She understands things are over between her and Rob, but to see him now dating one of her closest friends is just too much for her to deal with and seeing the pictures really hurt her."
It must make things even worse to realize that Rob might've met his current flame at her BIRTHDAY PARTY. Talk about rough.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

More lies to get Kristen fans to hate on Pattinson! GREAT!! When will you stop, HL? This was at Kristen's birthday party where 40 of her friends were there! Not just Riley. Just because Rob happened to be photographed behind her here doesn't mean anything. And it's not a NEW photo.

I really feel sorry for Kristen. Who knows behind her affair with RS, the truth was just she felt ignoranted by rob who's just enjoy drink&bar instead of companying her, not love her as before? She never explain for herself, she didn't make any excuse. Her great effort made on the reunion proved she loved rob indeed. No doubt rob knew it very well, but he in the first time the scandal revealed, even didn't go to see Kristen to ask an explaination face to face, he's just left. It indicated that he's not care her enough. Many men who encountered this sitiuation, the first thing to do is to talk about it face to face. That's an attitude.

Who knows Sophia, but you sure are supposing some damaging things about Rob. He cared enough to get back with her so that she wouldn't be humiliated further for BD 2 promo. But he doesn't get credit for that from you KS harpies. Leave him alone. It's been two months. Just because HL creates a story for you to trash Rob anew, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Get over it. You and I know nothing about their relationship except it's been over for 2 MONTHS!! Are you going to be trashing Rob for the next year?? Weirdos

Yes,key, we all know nothing about them indeed. I just stand very far distance to watch what happened like see movie and go through the surface make my own opinion. I don't hate rob, trust me, I also not that crazy with Kristen. But I like this girl much more than the boy. I like her attitude towards her mistake and appreciate her effort made on her love one.
@Kay …….Robert didn't care for Kristen, he also did not get back with her for Breaking Dawn2 Promotions because he wanted to spare her humiliation, they would have had to do the BD2 Promotions because it is normally stipulated in the contracts that they are responsible to do Promotions for the Movies in which they star together, so Robert and Kristen were under Contract and they had to act the part of Bella and Edward the Lovers or Married Couple, Duties and Contracts came first there, Robert did not pity her and always remember they are actors, and I must say they acted Professionally with the Promotional side and were very convincing, they are Professionals first and foremost

@margaret in the pink – this picture is real but mis-represented. this was kristen's birthday. go to you tube and you'll find this exact scene. riley was actually talking to a male friend (some say nicholas hoult) and rob was walking by on his way to kristen who was sitting in a car. you can hear the pappz in the bushes looking for kristen. everybody was in the parking lot waiting for their table i think. 2 days ago there were pictures of riley with kristen's inner circle of friends. riley is part of that inner circle. they protect kristen and support her unconditionally. this story is being driven by the pappz which has no truth to it. direct your ire to these sites and to the people who malign kristen, rob, and riley. these 3 a good decent people.

@rossy freski – go to you tube and search kristen's birthday and you'll find this. there is nothing untoward about this picture. riley is talking to nicholas hoult i think and rob is walking by. he is asked a question and he pauses. its just HL manipulating the picture a bit and them manipulating you.
Posted at 3:52 AM on July 19, 2013
Funny how Riley and Rob haven't been photographed since the photo above. And HL has them dating. lol That wasn't Riley in his truck. Whoever it was, it wasn't Riley. She's said so many times though her people and her friends. And no photos have been taken of Rob and Riley since April. Hmmm!!! Could this all be….LIES?

this is so hillarious Rob's head (no legs) only has been stuck into this picture. Kinda like the picture in Enlgand where they removed Charlize Theron's whole body and she was sitting between Kristen and Rupert. This is just getting worse and worser. People don't believe anything HWL prints. The axe is going to fall on HWL……..hooray!.
@guest 2 …………I am so glad you also saw the images when they first appeared with Charlize sitting between Rupert and Kristen, and after the so-called scandal was made public Charlize was removed, and it looked like Kristen was sitting right next to Rupert, Guest 2 do me a favor and go back to the so-called kissing images in the Mini Cooper and you will see the same has been done with those pics, look the outside mirror was placed inside the car, the rest of the embrace images are easily spotted for fakes because the proportions aren't correct, and to be able to take the pics from that angle the Photographer had to stand in the street in full view of Kristen looking at him to take those pics, I have been Graphic Artist for Big Media Company before images could be manipulated by Computer or Smart Phone, we did it by hand and those days that type of mistake occurred on a regular basis when we were already working over deadline and didn't have enough time, but these days you get a special program and the Journo or Editor or Sub can manipulate images on Computer or iPhone immediately, back then we did a cut and paste job, All of the photos of the So-called Scandal were done by Cut and Paste, that was done by a Graphic Artist from a time before the new Computer Programmes were available, but somebody like me can clearly see the mistakes that were made, myself and another Graphic Artist from Japan Wrote about it at the time, but everybody was so caught up in their own hate, they ignored it, look at the Photo of Rob standing beside Riley or behind her, bad job also just the head has been Cut and Paste
Posted at 3:55 AM on July 19, 2013
It doesn't matter. Kristen would have denied it if it weren't true. The 50 photos of Kristen and Rupert are real. And the apologies are real. Rupert and Liberties divorce is real. Stop with the conspiracy crap. The photo of Rob behind Riley is with Kristen, too. Just because HL lies, doesn't mean Kristen and Rupert didn't have a affair. She would have US Magazine's head. And so would Rupert!

@loui….Thanks for the insider infor. I found much of what you are saying a the website Justice for Kristen. They were so obviously photo shopped. I don't understand why people want to believe the worst. Most of this fandon is really f**ked up. Jealousy, envy, pure hate and that is really scarry. I want to give you a couple of website where you can find sane people telling the truth and that are fans of both Rob and Kris. Pattingsonintoxicatio.blogspot.com and hnkshaven.blogspot.com. Both of these are really great. On those sites you will find more sites to like. Maybe more people will check them out and we can all quit coming to look at the HWL lies on their gossip rag and leave the bitter hags behind at the same time.
Have a great day and I am still believing in Justice for Kirsten and Robert. Robsten will be fine in time.
@guest 2 ………Thank you for the new web pages, will check immediately, came back here to check on you, I am so glad and very relieved to find a sane and stable person like you here, and thank you for answering me, have a great life if we do not meet again, I am more than sure Robert and Kristen will be okay in the end as a couple or apart, they are strong and getting ready for life after Twighlight

Posted at 6:34 PM on July 18, 2013
anyone looking at pic tures Eclipse interviews could see Kristen head down looking at Rob when her head was up not answering questions a stark contrast to the girl in TW and NM interviews
Taylor brought her in to the conversation NO Rob controlled her from 18 onwards she kept her mouth shut not the 18yr old Sunny girl she was after TWI and before Eclipse was made
Rob took back control but she let him so dont totaly blame him we women do that most anyway
She didnt treat him like crap she made jokes pinched his arm cos he looked such a grumpy sod
We know nowe out of his own mouth that he wished hed only made TWI and no more
He doesnt like the TWI fans thinks they are nuts and freaks He doesnt want or need them
He wants to be taken ser as an actor
As for RK@RP then your a cheater then hey?> Youd break the girl code youd betray your freind
Take her ex and start a relationship with him still the girls done it twice before she a pattern
EWWW fancy sexing yuor friends ex with in weeks wonder if he slips and calls her Kriste?
Posted at 3:58 AM on July 19, 2013
Ignore crazy Margaret below me. She lives on here daily, which makes me think she's working for Kristen's PR team. It's her JOB to trash Rob Pattinson. I wish Rob's lawyers would find out who she is. She's is libelous with her lies. Her being a Nonbert say it all. And yes, Rob DOES deserve someone who treats him better than Kristen did. Everyone deserves better than someone who lies and cheats.

Posted at 6:12 PM on July 18, 2013
Have mercy! Riley, Riley, Riley! Why do you have to make me fall in love with you more? I hadn't seen this pic before and my God woman, you're breathtaking. Ever since this drama with you and Pattinson started, I have started to learn about you and can't get enuff. All the other pics of you all dolled up are insane, but this one of you dressed "down" is incredible. Beyond cute and sexy. Jeez! I'll say it again, I can't have her, so I think her and Rob would be a cool couple. Everything points to something going on with these crazy kids. At least I think so. If there isn't, then what are you waiting for dude? Just look at that picture of you and her. How can you not worship a chick who seems gorgeous, cool, sexy and can dress all cute like that. She seems to be private as well. Every guys dream. Damn Girl!
Kristen dressed like that and she was a scruff????
Your an older poster the usage of CRAZY KIDS gives you away
So your evidently a Staff member or a man whos nuts for Carrot tops
One tnhing I do agree with you on is somethings going on what I dont know but something is
Private cos shes too busy pinching her last 2 fellas from her :::FREINDS"""
With mega rich I can do say have anything I want cos IM the KINGS GD what do you expect
Her reputation will be trashed if she is with RP cos they have said time again they arent a couple
If they come out as one hey wil be known as liers she will be knows as a cheating girl a betrayer
But unless she gets Kristen trearment from HL@GOSS sites which I 00% dought she wil be ok

Read this Hollywood life, Rob and Riley are not dateing,Rob and Riley are not dateing, Rob and Riley are not dateing! Rob and Riley are not dateing! Rob and Riley are not dateing! Rob and Riley are not dateing!Rob and Riley are not dateing,I figured sects. you will not accept Riley saying she is not dateing Rob.Then maybe you will listen to some ones else's and stop with all your lies.
everyone will believe they are not dating when Rob has a new women or she is seen with Kristen
UNtill then rumours will abound because Riley did go to his bday party and went to his Gatsby one
You dont insult your friend of 3 years by going to her JUST EXES parties
Sorry lads no way she would Riley go unless she fancied him or was a spy for Kristen sorry

I agree that there is some kind of relationship going on, just wonder how serious. I lean toward a friends with benefits kind of situation. I am curious about you saying she was at the big party Rob threw at his house. Are you sure about that because that's the first time I heard that. If that's true it is pretty much a sure thing that they're seeing each other. At the very least I'm thinking there is an attraction and flirting going on. I apologize in advance if I'm wrong, but I've looked at the truck pics several times and am convinced it's Riley. Especially after the pic of their aunt and mom together on that same weekend. To many coincidences for me. I hope it's true cause I like them together. My two cents.
Posted at 3:52 PM on July 18, 2013
OK…if any true fans of Rob and Kristen are on this board, I suggest that you leave it ASAP and check out supportive sites like "Do I Dazzle You", "Robert Pattinson Intoxication" and "Justice for Kristen". The truth of the matter is, that nobody really knows what is going on with R/K except for the two of them…and that is as it should be. Hollywood Life, however, keeps rehashing their same old lies and tired stories and even creating new ones daily, using the same "sources" and posting their ridiculous "exclusives" as facts…like anyone with half a brain could't see through this. If you are really a fan, check out the sites that I have mentioned, compare them with HWL, use your common sense and come to your own conclusions. I am not offering anything here but another perspective. I would like nothing more than to see true supporters of Rob and Kristen find alternate sources of information. Leave this site to the trolls, teens, and illiterate commentators who continue to spew their hate on this site. And shame on you Hollywood Life for giving them a platform to do so.
@ flowergirl I totally agree but then I have only recently found DIDY JFK etc I was puzzled last year because to me the whole scandal stank like a bucket of fish And I couldnt for the life of me understand what anyone would gain if the whole thing was a stunt As Kris was crucified and Rob made no response I was mystified It was obvious from the 50 pics that she was uncomfortable with his behaviour add in the obviously bad photo manipulation and it is all slanted to making her look the worst possiblei I know better now and it all falls into place The motivation of certain forces who stood to gain ( not Rob or Kris ) Haters have their own blind agenda but Hollywood life is a joke But I think this latest post is an in to them trying to dig themselves out of a self created hole Lets hope for some legal proceedings to make them think again !i
Posted at 5:24 PM on July 18, 2013
flowergirl…You named rob pattinson intoxication but that site is the worst of all. They are just as hateful and any other site and only tolerate Rob if he is with Kristen. They love Tom Sturridge on that site and Kristen. It is one f***ed up site. They tell you when they are going to the bathroom and when they get back they want to know if they missed anything. The other two sites are just as delusional. The two best sites that tell the truth is Rob Pattinson News and Kristen Stewart News.

IF NO ONE KNOWS WHATS GOING ON THEN THAT INCLUDES THE SITES THAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT…I MEAN CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG IN SAYING THIS !!!WHY dont you then leave Rob and kris alone to reveal that "THEY ARE JUST FINE "without you WORKING so hard to convince us and ESPECIALLY YOURSELF.

Nobody speak about this story only you? why do you continue? Please if you have to invente something change the story please!
Posted at 2:44 PM on July 18, 2013
FYI, I heard Riley and her team are filing a lawsuit against HollywoodLies, oops I mean HollywoodLife. I think Kristen's team should get on the bandwagon and file also. Have fun losing everything Bonnie. Then you will have to flip burgers to pay your bills LOL. PS SInce you seem to have to snoop Twitter and Instagram for your "sources", did you not see Riley hanging out with Kristen's bestfriends just the other night??? And Kristen was most likely there, just not in the pics. Why do you take your readers for idiots? She is friends with Kristen first, Rob second. Pretty soon you will be saying Rob is seeing CJ.

Results tagged ' Larry Greene '
Phillies Agree to Terms with Greene
The Phillies have agreed to terms with top draft pick Larry Greene.
MLB.com confirmed he received a $1 million signing bonus. The agreement came late last night.
Greene, 18, hit .562 with 11 doubles, one triple, 19 home runs, 52 RBIs, 58 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this season for Berrien County High School in Nashville, Ga. Greene, an outfielder listed at 6-foot-1 and 225 pounds, earned a football scholarship to Alabama.
Second-round pick Roman Quinn remains unsigned, but the Phillies are hopeful they can reach an agreement with the shortstop before tonight's midnight deadline.

Phillies Select Greene with First Pick
Larry Greene is a big kid with a chance to hit a lot of home runs someday at Citizens Bank Park.
The Phillies selected him Monday with the 39th overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft. Greene is a left-handed-hitting corner outfielder that shares some similarities to Class A Clearwater first baseman Jonathan Singleton, who is one of the top prospects in baseball.
"He's a man amongst young men," Phillies director of scouting Marti Wolever said of Greene. "He is really strong and powerful. He's just a really good athlete. He might have a little bit more power (than Singleton). He's built like him. His stroke is comparable. The bat speed is comparable."
Greene, 18, hit .562 with 11 doubles, one triple, 19 home runs, 52 RBIs, 58 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this season for Berrien County High School in Nashville, Ga. Greene, who is 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, earned a football scholarship to Alabama, but will play baseball. He has committed to Chipola Junior College in Marianna, Fla. Greene said he isn't sure if he would bypass pro ball for college, but he sounded like he wants to sign.
Baseball America ranked Greene its 75th overall prospect. The magazine compared Greene to Russell Branyan, but Wolever does not think that comparison fits because he believes Greene will make better contact.
Greene projects as an average outfielder.
"We thought he was the best option for us," Wolever said. "We did a lot of work and spent a lot of time this year watching him play."
The draft continues at noon Tuesday with rounds 2 through 30. It concludes Wednesday with rounds 31 through 50.
The Phillies' next selection will be in the second round (66th overall).

Olympic SPAM arrives...
- http://blog.trendmic...-2012-olympics/
Apr 5, 2012 - "... Users dreaming of watching the closing ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics live may find the said offer hard to resist as Visa Golden Space is supposedly inviting users to join a lottery for a chance to win a travel package for the said event. Note that the said offer is non-existent. We also spotted a malware that arrives as a file named Early Check-In 2012 London Olympics.doc. This file, detected as TROJ_ARTIEF.XPL, exploits the RTF Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability found in several versions of Microsoft Office components. If it's successful, it drops several other -malware- on your system, which Trend Micro detects as TROJ_DROPHIN.A and TROJ_PHINDOLP.A. This is not the first scam that uses this event to get users clicking. As early as 2008, Trend Micro has spotted a spammed message purporting to be a lottery drawn by the London 2012 Olympics committee. In May 2011, we also reported on a -spam- campaign that used London 2012 Olympics as bait. In addition, our social engineering e-guide mentions seasons and events as jump off points used by crooks. Online deals that look like they're too good to be true, suspicious email messages promoting great but non-existent offers are also some of the tools used to lure users. All these tactics may lead to you inadvertently giving out your personal information, or for malware to be downloaded on your computer. Your personal information is not worth the risk of a chance to win a non-existent chance to win a lottery. Before clicking on that email link, investigate."
Fake AT&T wireless bill links to malware
- http://blog.commtouc...ink-to-malware/
Apr 5, 2012 - "Large outbreaks of phony AT&T wireless emails* have been distributed in the last 2 days. The emails describe very large balances ($943 in example), that are sure to get aggravated customers clicking on the included links... Every link in the email leads to a different compromised site that has malware hidden inside. In the example below** this means -9- (!) different URLS – most emails with links to email limit themselves to one or two links.
** http://blog.commtouc...omised-site.jpg
The index.html file tries to exploit at least the following known vulnerabilities:
Libtiff integer overflow in Adobe Reader and Acrobat – CVE-2010-0188
Help Center URL Validation Vulnerability – CVE-2010-1885
Recipients who are unsure whether the email they have received is genuine or not (the malicious version is a very accurate copy) should mouse-over the links. Genuine emails from AT&T will include AT&T website links. For example the "att.com" link will be the same in both places that it appears in the email – unlike the malicious version which uses 2 very different URLs. The fully functional homepage of one of the compromised sites is shown below. For more information about compromised websites see Commtouch's report*** compiled in association with StopBadware."

@KoiwiGal - Well, to be honest, in that kind of extreme case, in the modern world, it will cost them more money to ignore it than to challenge it. I mean, a few diversity seminars (and a few firings if necessary) aren't going to cost as much as a law suit.
It's actually kind of fascinating how a sort-of mob mentality can rule in a company. When you look at some of the things that went on in companies like Enron, before it fell, it makes you wonder how the people involved could keep fooling themselves like that.

7.3 Diesel smokes at idle
Looking at buying an 03 F-250 Crew cab lariat 4x4 7.3 PSD fairly clean with 337k miles for a pretty decent deal. At cold start it smoked white smoke for a while, then was still puffing a good amount of white / blueish smoke once warm. I drove it for a good half hour, parked it and let it sit for about 5 mins, then it started puffing a good amount of white / blue tinted smoke again and progressively got worse. Got it back on the road and it'll clear right up with no smoke at all under load. At idle it roughs a little rough like its got a miss, but while driving it runs fine. Any ideas what this could be??? $5,200 for this truck seems like a good deal to me even with the miles and work it needs. The body is very solid and its a very nice looking truck. Has brand new tires 6 months ago and all new front end parts. Seems like a decent deal... but maybe someone here could help me out on this.

if you are lucky it is only injector O rings. But it might be the injectors themselves...
unless it smelled like burning oil...

It was more white smoke than anything and got really bad after sitting at idle for a while. I just don't understand why it still runs fine and clears right up while driving... I had a duramax do exactly what this truck is doing, then one day BAM is blew a cylinder and left the entire city smoked out while driving it to the scrap yard. |

Would the guy care if you took it somewhere and got a buzz test and cylinder contribution test?

Appears to make plenty of power. And the guy is a "mechanic" at an oil change shop and says he doesn't know much about these diesels and just selling them for a friend (already sold 3 others). I don't know if it is the injectors or not but I told him it needed all 8 new injectors to talk him down on the price. He didn't seem to know much about diesels, but I told him they cost $285 a piece and the IP would have to be replaced too ($700). Of course really I have no idea whats going on with it as I'm kinda new to diesels too. I have some experience with the 7.3 though and they are very tough long lasting engines if maintained. |
November 13th, 2013, 07:29 AM | #6 |
Wishin' I waz fishin'
Like Bones said......white smoke is unburnt fuel, could be injector issues or low compression. I would pay a shop that knows diesels to do a compression test and look at the turbo.

7.3L PSD DOESN'T HAVE injector pump. It use oil to fire injectors.
With the amount of miles I hope you check blow-by by remove oil cap. Had one that lost #8 cylinder it was smoke like you describe. Were it idle smooth or had vibration that shake little? |

XU's Pieri wins GCAC award for third time this season September 29, 2010 NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Matt Pieri is the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Runner of the Week in men's cross country for the third time this season. Pieri, a sophomore from New Orleans and a graduate of Brother Martin High School, ran 8,000 meters in 29 minutes, 11.81 seconds Saturday to finish 32nd out of 81 runners in the LSU Invitational at Baton Rouge, La.

Supplier News Breaks Archives
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Snyder's-Lance Inc. has rolled out Lance Cracker Creations, a premium seasoned sandwich cracker with vegetables, cheese or herbs baked in.
The snack manufacturer said Monday that the new Cracker Creations all-natural sandwich crackers have five grams of whole grain per serving and come in two varieties, Garden Vegetable and Parmesan Herb, with a real cream-cheese filling.
According to the company, the Garden Vegetable variety features the taste and aroma of tomatoes, bell peppers and onions, while the Parmesan Herb variety has the rich, buttery taste of just-grated Parmesan cheese.
"Our research revealed that consumers are looking for a premium snacking option that will excite their taste buds while keeping them full between meals," commented Alvaro Trinidad, senior brand manager at Snyder's-Lance. "By baking the vegetables, cheese and herb flavors right into the cracker, Cracker Creations fills the gap for adults who want a sensible, fresh and all-natural snack."
Cracker Creations are larger than traditional Lance sandwich crackers and come packaged in twin packs, with six twin packs per box. And like all Lance sandwich crackers, Cracker Creations have no trans fat, no preservatives and no high-fructose corn syrup, the company said.
