"Natural beauty" Top 5 Page for this destination Kangaroo Island by kyoub
Kangaroo Island Travel Guide: 256 reviews and 691 photos
Kangaroo Island is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
It still possesses a richness and diversity of flora and flauna seldom found in other parts of South Australia.
We also saw seals, wallabies, kangaroos, penguins, sea lions, and sheep.
We went to see caves, remarkable rocks, beaches, a lighthouse, a national park, and miles and miles of roads.
Every evening around dusk we had Wallabies on the roads and lawns around our house. They were so cute but we hated to drive the car at night for fear of hitting one.
There is a lot of road kill on the highways here for that reason.
Over 250 species of birds have been observed on the island.
This is one of my favorite birds that we saw on Kangaroo Island. .It looks like it is dressed for a Halloween Party
- Pros:Miles of driving
- Cons:Dusty roads
- In a nutshell:Nature's Island

Little blue penguins, marron, honey and sheep cheese - 4 of my favourite things. The orange flowers are pincushion proteas, the purple ones are echiuma - aka Pride of Madeira. Terrific bee plants -I have them in my garden.
What a wonderful time you had on Kangaroo Island! Nice to read that you took home some unique Aussie gifts, that were useable.
looks to be quite a stunning place...miseed it when i was in oz
Kangaroo Island seems perfect for you, Kay. The blue penquins are adorable. Terrific travelogues. Outstanding photographs to accompany this highly interesting information about such a beautiful place.
I've heard so much about Kangaroo island from my pen friend and wanted to visit it while I was in Australia, but couldn't fit it into my schedule - I should have. Great page with lots of information!
Australian Sea lions, granite boulders, the lighthouse and New Zealand seals look fantastic!
Superb and informative page Kay,those rock formations are just amazing
I LOVE the Rosella, the red color is so intense! Thanks for sharing your birding experiences here.
Good page with interesting obserations = a very enjoyable read!
Thanks for the rating my Kangaroo Island page. You can see a lot of pelicans in south Texas but no Kangaroos.

text: I agree with Cleona Duncan (Reader Input, June 7) about the Freedom of Speech going away, and "political correctness" taking its place. What happened to the America where citizens could disagree and have different philosophies and opinions and still respect each other and hang together as Americans, and where it was OK for a person to stand up and give his opinion without being attacked? For example, why is it OK to attack and call "homophobic" anyone who disagrees with homosexual activity, but not OK for those who disagree to say they think there is something wrong with homosexual behavior? This also goes for both parties in politics and for abortion people vs. anti-abortion people. This is supposed to be a free country where every individual has the right to their own beliefs, opinions and to voice those beliefs and opinions in speech. So, in my opinion, anyone not willing to grant that right to others, should go live in Russia or some other country where they will fit right in, because that kind of behavior does not belong here.

Still a fantastic camera, and how wrong the conclusion was about how popular the G10 would be :). It's certainly not easy to predict camera sales or popularity, however, the G10 offered so much right I can't see how the conclusion could be anything other than highly recommended. Having owned the G10 before, twice, I still crave using it despite the fact that I've owned the G11,12, 15, and now 16 since. Although the G16 is infinitely better in many respects, the G10 remains the kind of camera that challenges the photographer to do everything right - and when he/she does, it rewards you with fantastic image quality.
Compared to... Panasonic DMC-LX3 & Nikon Coolpix P6000
Finally, we compare our trio of photographers' compacts at ISO 1600. This is the highest sensitivity setting offered by the G10 and the highest at which the Nikon produces full-resolution output. The LX3 offers a predictably disappointing 3200 setting, while the P6000 offers 3200 and an ambitious 6400 at 3 megapixels.
Studio scene comparison (G10, Panasonic DMC-LX3 , Nikon P6000 @ ISO 1600)
- Canon PowerShot G10 : Aperture Priority mode, ISO 1600, Default Image Parameters, Manual white balance, +0.67 EV compensation
- Panasonic DMC-LX3: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 1600, Default
Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.66 EV compensation
- Nikon Coolpix P6000 : Manual mode, ISO 1600, Default Image Parameters, Manual white balance.
- Lighting: Daylight simulation, >98% CRI
Canon PowerShot G10
Panasonic DMC-LX3
Nikon Coolpix P6000
ISO 1600, 1/1250 sec, F4
ISO 1600, 1/2000 sec, F3.5
ISO 1600, 1/400 sec, F4.1
It was never going to be pretty but there are some pretty unpleasant results here. The G10's noise reduction has obliterated most of the detail in its image and hammered the contrast too. For fans of watercolors, perhaps? The Nikon has made an even bigger mess of things, peppering its image with white speckling and producing unsightly yellow blotches across other parts of the image.
And, although the LX3's image isn't exactly a paragon of image quality, it's hard not to conclude that it's producing the best results at this point. There's all the noise and noise reduction degradation you'd expect of a compact camera working at this sensitivity setting, but it's balanced the two well and produced a good compromise result, retaining some detail and producing the most accurate color of the three.

Ernst Jünger
Did he help Hitler rise?
The following essay is adapted from Clive James' Cultural Amnesia, a re-examination of intellectuals, artists, and thinkers who helped shape the 20th century. Slate is publishing an exclusive selection of these essays, going roughly from A to Z. (Note: There is no "I" in the Clive's Lives series.)
Things like that belong to the style of the times.
—Ernst Jünger, Caucasian Notes
Ernst Jünger was born in Heidelberg in 1895 and reached maturity just in time to volunteer for service in World War I, during which his bravery won him the Pour le Mérite, Germany's highest military decoration. After the war, his book Storm of Steel launched him on a literary career that amounts to as big a problem for the student of 20th-century humanism as Bertolt Brecht's. In Jünger's case, however, the problem came from the other direction. Jünger emerged from the trenches as a believer in national strength, which he thought was threatened by liberal democracy. Though he never gave his full allegiance to the Nazis, he was glad to accept military rank in the Wehrmacht, and wrote approvingly about the invasion of France, in which he accompanied one of the forward units. After the plot against Hitler's life in July 1944, he fell under suspicion, but his prestige and his Pour le Mérite made him untouchable. Never an active conspirator, he thought he was fulfilling his duty to civilized values merely by despising Hitler. The thought of killing Hitler did not occur.
In his postwar years, Jünger wrote contemptuously against the apparatchiks of the East German regime, who found it easy to condemn him for his right-wing track record, describing him in their official literary lexicon as "an especially dangerous exponent of West German militaristic and neofascist literature." Having missed his first chance to identify a totalitarian enemy in good time, he didn't miss the second. Demonstrating powers of compression and evocation that could pack a treatise into a paragraph, his two collections of linked short essays, On the Marble Cliffs and The Adventurous Heart, are the easiest introduction to his literary talent and political vision. The talent is unquestionable. The vision is quite otherwise. But when he finally realized what Hitler had done in pursuit of the ideal of strength that he had himself cherished, even he was obliged to consider that his espousal of Darwin (the struggle for existence) and Nietzsche (the will to power) might have depended on some sort of liberal context for its rational expression. He died in 1998, his name much honored, with good reason, and much in dispute, for better reason.
A phrase like "the style of the times," quoted above, can be self-serving, because it removes the obligation to place blame. Even before Hitler launched Germany on a catastrophic war, Jünger should have been able to assess the toxicity of the Nazis by the intellectual quality of some of the people who were trying to get beyond their reach. In retrospect, his phrase "the style of the times" enrolls itself among many euphemisms that served to sanitize the effects of the Nazi impact even on the learned professions. Jünger, as an Aryan, was safe from that impact. He should have cared more about what happened to those less privileged. A learned man, Jünger knew all their names: even the names of the minor figures, the spear carriers and walk-ons. In the late 1930s, in a race for a foreign chair of philology, the obscure Victor Klemperer was beaten to a safe seat in Ankara by the illustrious Erich Auerbach. If Klemperer had secured the prize instead, and got away to safety, it is unlikely that he would have written anything with the bold scope of Auerbach's Mimesis. We should not romanticize Klemperer because of what he went through: Millions went through it, too. But we are compelled to admire him for what he made of it. Fated to stay where he was, he was granted the dubious reward of experiencing from close up what the Nazis did to the German language; reading his analysis in his two-volume diary, I Shall Bear Witness and To the Bitter End, we can only conclude that the Nazis wrecked the language they had usurped. They wrecked it with euphemism: They spoke and wrote the officialese of slaughter.

Dubai: We'll go after Netanyahu if Mossad killed Hamas man
Police chief warns Mossad and Hamas against conducting covert operations in Dubai.
Dubai will issue a warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest if it turns out Israeli intelligence was behind last month's killing of a Hamas strongman, Army Radio reported on Thursday.
"Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, will be the first to be wanted for justice as he would have signed the decision to assassinate [Mahmoud] al Mabhouh in Dubai. We will issue an arrest warrant against him," police chief Dahi Halfan treportedly told local press.
Al-Mabhouh, who was reportedly responsible for the smuggling of Iranian arms to Gaza, was found murdered in his hotel room on January 20 ssassination.
The Dubai police chief also said that the method used to kill al Mabhouh, was a "Mossad method," but did not elaborate further.
Last week Halfan warned international intelligence agencies against working "behind our back," saying anyone who did so should "watch their back."
This applied "to any intelligence organization around the world, whether Mossad, Hamas or any other agency," headded.
The Dubai police chief said that he believed the Hamas leader was in Dubai for business and not for any kind of arms transactions.
If Al-Mabhouh had been interested in meeting Iranian officials in Dubai, as the Israeli media has claimed, he could have done so in either Syria or Iran itself.
The Dubai police commissioner refused to reveal the identity of suspects linked to the incident, denying a Hamas claim that the assassins had entered the country as part of Minister Uzi Landau's entourage, when he visited Dubai earlier that month.

We also took note of these developments in light of your recent CNBC interview regarding the Keystone XL Pipeline in which you said that when it comes to the possible rejection of the pipeline by the Obama Administration that you won't " take 'no' for an answer."These developments have occurred against the backdrop of an enormous lobbying campaign that your government and TransCanada have engaged in seeking to pressure the U.S. government to approve this pipeline. This effort includes $3,920,000 spent by TransCanada since 2009 to lobby U.S. federal officials; another $650,000 spent on lobbying by Canadian government agencies; and upwards of $30 million spent on advertising in the United States by the Canadian government in 2012 and 2013.
Have your government, your government's lobbyist and/or agents representing TransCanada communicated with House Republicans about including Keystone in the original litany of demands put to President Obama?Putting aside the fact that your CNBC interview suggests that you believe it is your place to make a decision for America about whether our country will make a 40-year commitment to exporting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet to our foreign competitors, it is important for you to be able to answer this question with a very simple "yes" or "no," so the American people have full transparency as to whether you, your government or TransCanada have sought to exploit the current issues in Washington, DC. We have a saying in the United States that I believe may also resonate in Canada: When you go to bed at night with no snow on the ground, and you wake up in the morning to find snow, you can safely conclude it snowed. Similarly, when House Republicans propose the extension of a foreign pipeline that will benefit a Canadian oil company as one of a small number of issues holding up actions that led to the shutdown of the U.S. government and now threaten the entire U.S. economy, the American public has the right to ask the question of what TransCanada and/or the Canadian government knew about the role of the Keystone XL pipeline in this current crisis in Washington, DC, and when did either of you know it? Yours sincerely,

Hi all,
I'm pregnant but at the advice of my doula, I tried pumping to retrieve some colostrum to have on hand when I went to the hospital just in case I have a problem with the baby latching on or anything like that after the baby is born. I am also 38+ weeks pregnant and I wouldn't mind going into labor, so I thought I would give it a try. I bought the medela pump and style breast pump and I sat for about 15 minutes and pumped. However, NOTHING came out! I haven't leaked AT ALL during the pregnancy, which had me worried, but now I'm worried that my body isn't producing what my baby will need! I have flat and sometimes inverted nipples, but I bought nipple shields to help with that problem. I didn't think I would necessarily have a supply problem on top of a nipple problem! Did anyone else try pumping at the end of their pregnancy, have nothing come out, but go on to have successful breastfeeding sessions with their child? Thank you for your time!

Jaded BTDT Mamas
@eskwalters - how nice that you are knocking me for being a first timer. Classy.
PS I would rather "yell" at disrespectful women than laugh at harmless, excited first time mommys. Disgusting.
M/C at 11 wks in July '12
Cautiously awaiting our rainbow!
Sticky Baby Dust to all.
I had a pretty laid-back approach about expectations of how labor was going to go. I didn't want to be induced but it was the right thing to do, I didn't want an epidural so they gave me Demerol when I started getting back labor. I utterly failed at breastfeeding, which was really the ONE thing I wanted. I was so hard on myself at first, but once I let go of my ego and realized that it was all about DS and nobody really gave a shit what I did as long as he was happy, healthy and loved, I've been really happy. You'll make mistakes and compromises and decisions you never thought you would, but don't be too hard on yourself. It's not a competition.
Oh yeah and speaking of jaded (and sweaty), this will be my second Texas summer pregnancy. Central air is nice, but there's nothing like standing in front of an ice cold window unit when you're 8 months pregnant.
On a side note - with the nausea, did the runs come with it too? Sometimes I don't know what end it's going to come out of :-0 lol!!!
Also, I'd take summer hear over morning sickness anyday!
Yes, I'm advertising. Couldn't be that the statement relates to my comment...
I have so much reason to advertise my body to a group of pregnant women, I'm so glad you have me figured out.
And in what world do people not make snarky comments on ftm threads? Is this thread not dedicated to how silly ftm posts are?
I know that it's out of excitement, but it can't stop my hormonal snarky thoughts. I'm sure all the "is this a bfp?" first time mamas will get sick of our posts about how our ligaments are too stretched out from being preggers before or something of that sort come third trimester.
Alexis, calm the heck down! How on earth can u not understand that btdt moms are not trying to be mean, just funny. Sit down and breath for a bit and I'm SURE you have done something more or are better than someone at something that makes you just a bit snarky in some aspect of life. Pregnancy is dramatic enough, quit trying to stir up drama from thin air. What is life without laughter?!?
This is a thread dedicated to jaded BTDTers who have been on more than one birth board and are amused by some of the sillier questions asked by FTMs; it's entirely different than highjacking someone's post to call it ignorant.
Ok my fav posts are the ones about being uncomfortable with all the exams, etc. in my birth class for DS, the instructor said it's common for women to lose their inhibitions during transition. I thought to myself "nope, not me!" HA! I was completely naked for hours. And they don't tell you that you never really get your inhibitions back. I walked around topless for 6 weeks when I was at home and I still don't give a shit who sees what. My lady bits are not special snowflakes, they look like everyone else's.

Rock Climbing Photos : Comments
Comments by illusiondweller (151)
I met up with Tom one morning back then when he was starting his crack circuit and stayed up with him on the first half, starting with; Entrance boulder, 5.10d (seam), Sunny Afternoon Boulder, 5.9 (layback), 5.8 (flake), I Hear My Train a Comin' 5.11c, Black Finger 5.10b, Left Longs Crack 5.10d, Robbins Crack 5.10a, Driving South 5.11c, Monkey Crack 5.10c, California Night 5.11b and Jaws 5.10d where I petered out! I believe Tom eventually finished with The Crucible 5.10c at the summit of Woodson where he puts his leg over his head to get in to the offwidth section way above!
I can remember, while trying to wire this alone, getting stuck standing atop the ledge/flake, frozen in my shoes, scared shitless, yelling for help hoping someone would come along and throw me a rope or something! I actually backed off it and downclimbed back to a hanging postion from the flake and dropping to the ground. I never prayed so hard! I eventually learned to solo it without cheat stones or using that young birch that grew up next to the stone. Remember that? G. McCay
Actually, I, HM2 McCay came up with the idea and created this wall. I had Bondo sent to me from stateside. This is a traverse wall so the holds do not go to the top. The feet stay below the red painted line for safety reasons. HM1 took these pictures for me so I could submit them to Rock and Ice magazine. Unfortunately, the turn out for the wall was pretty low but near the end of the deployment it picked up. I hope those after us are maintaining it and having fun. I know I did!
Well, not quite the Twenty Point Problem! See the barely visible, chalked depression in the upper right corner of the picture? The TPP starts under the start to the ramp (sit start) and aims directly up to the afformentioned hold (utilizing a figure-four or other creativity) then tops out above at 5.11c!
No, actually, I wasn't on that page at all. Learning the moves, types of jams, technique required for a particular climb may take a bit to learn. Particularly the finger cams/stacks required for Jaws off-finger section. Once you've learned these techniques/moves you then put it all together and give the climb a rating based on it's difficulty. Jaws, I believe is not quite a 5.11 climb based on that. It's always been rated 5.10d since I've been climbing circa '81. Let's keep it that way.
LOL! R/X without the bolt? That last cam behind the flake will keep you from hitting the ground. Been there, done that without the bolt! That was the scariest part of the climb, committing to the reach to the crack! A cam can be placed once in the crack, circa '81 . LOL, loose some weight lard @rse!
If you want the ultimate in an "airy" arete go over to Tahquitz and try The Edge, 5.11a, a barndoor fest with thirty foot runouts, and a drop off the "Edge" of about thirty feet into the Open Book, omfg! I followed this and was scared out of my gourde just belaying not forgetting to mention the climb itself! Can't imagine what my partner was going through!
The sequence at the right end of this wall is where the Wall gets it's rating. On one visit, late 1980's, I ran into a local cat who knew of those that had done 3+ laps on this! 5.11 is definitely not a sandbag rating for one lap having reached the crux myself then working throught it after stepping off.
It was 1615, 15 min's remaining at the '86 GWBC...
"Hey Greg (Epperson, standing with camera in hand), help me out, I need one more problem before time runs out, what do you suggest?"
"I saw you do 5.10a on the Outside the other day. It gave the experts a run for their money!" he replied.
So, I grabbed a judge/belayer and ticked this thing to complete my scorecard taking 5th place in the open division winning a set of HB nuts, wohoooo!
1975. We're hanging out down at the Ski Mart on Garnet Ave, where Largo works. There was a primitive bouldering wall carved into the brick wall upstairs. so we're hanging out there one night and JL is holding court. Me and my buddy Doug are talking to him about climbing and new routes and the life well-lived, and at one point -- I swear to God I'm not making this up -- he gets quiet, gazes off into space for a few moments, then murmurs as if to himself, "You gotta have vision, man. you gotta have vision." Me and my buddy were so starstruck we used that quote as the frontispiece to this horrific little supplement to the M Mission Gorge guide that we hacked together a few months later, the immortal Scumbag Digest: Story by: BVB
Hey guys, I see an opportunity to teach and I'm all over it...I had Black Diamond's spec's on creating tubular webbing runners way back but don't know what I did with them so I found these on REI's website:
"To make the three sizes of tied runners, cut the following lengths of webbing:
Single runner: 5.5 feet
Double runner: 9.5 feet
Triple runner: 14 feet
Sewn runners are stronger than tied runners because tying knots in webbing reduces its overall strength. Sewn runners are less bulky than tied runners, but they are more expensive. Your budget, climbing style and end use will determine which you select."
Tsk, tsk, tsk...trad guys, trad...lol, rule number one, keep your rope in a direct line by the use of slings/runners when ever possible. Carry single and double length runners over your shoulder on trad climbs not only for this purpose but also for creating equalized anchors and various other uses (prusik knots, a hasty gear sling and retreats to name a few). Zig-zagging creates, as you found out, friction, hence horrible rope drag. Rope drag will literally stop you on a route and you'll find yourself belaying the next guy up while hanging off of a single bolt/piece and then one of you will have to resume the belay off of that single bolt/piece too! No style points for that, lol! Be careful out there guys. Peace.
An excerpt from a recent email I received..."The original name of that climb was "Worsman's Roof". Ed Worsman was the first to toprope the moves between the two of us. At that time, there was still the stump of a tree sticking out of the upper crack (I had cut the tree off and left the stump as a part of the climb). Eventually the stump rotted out and left that just less than perfect sized crack. I got the first free lead and actually used the stump as protection by slinging it. I doubt it would have held even a small fall! Fun times, those were." Andy
Now you tell me that the "dark spot" is the finish hold pn this one! I've only finished this problem maybe counting pn one hand after many more frustrating attempts! I, through self preservation, reach for the top of the dog ear, the bottom of it visible above your right hand. I just repeated it last month and again whined and whimpered through the crux waiting for my feet to explode out from underneath me and sending me flying helplessly, upside down, onto my back to the wonderful landing below! This one spooks me every time!
Yes, a 5.11a boulder problem. I'm assuming you are referring to the "V" rating system? Santee Boulders was climbed over 20 years before John Sherman developed the system exclusively for Waco Tanks in Texas. If you applied the "V" system to Santee Boulders most everything would be V0 - V3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(climbing). Some are already applying the "V" system and ratings of V5 are being applied to climbs < 5.12. You be the judge!
Although, the "V" system took off and it is the more widely used bouldering rating system today. I, myself (old school), still don't use it today.
Two weeks ago I lowered down to see for myself this "ledge" and discovered that its a far cry from a ledge! It turns out to be two small, horizontal edges situated in a steep depression that are difficult to gain purchase on! Eppi appears to be using the outside of his left hand in this marginal mess! I can't say I'm worthy...yet!
I've looked at this prob for years and haven't done it, one, because I couldn't figure out how to access the "ledge" above to even try the mantle! Recently, nearly thirty years later, I was with a younger climber who said he's touched the hold above by dynoing to it but that the hold is slopey and not positive...
To answer your question rockspydermonkey162, no, crash pads/mattress' were unheard of b.i.t.d. when Woodson was established. The TR anchors were placed pre-pad days and are the standard for Mt. Woodson due to the size of the boulders and bad landings. For instance, many of Woodson's problems are leadable.
This photo does no justice in showing the overhanging nature of this climb (prob close to 115 - 120 deg) not to mention the poor landing (no pads if you note). Having been a Paramedic for over 14 years let me let u in on a bit of my job : Adult Trauma Center Criteria - falls > 15' (one of many criteria). This means that the patient goes directly past go and to the nearest major trauma center for evaluation no matter how well he/she is/thinks they are doing. Organs start to tear/seperate from their attachments at this height and above. You might consider this the next time you "third class" your next 15' high ball!
William Shockley - "He became an accomplished rock climber, going often to the Shawangunks in the Hudson River Valley, where he pioneered a route across an overhang, known to this day as "Shockley's Ceiling." He was an atheist" (Crystal Fire pgs. 132-133).
"Shockley co-invented the transistor, for which all three were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics."
"Late in his life, Shockley became intensely interested in questions of race, intelligence, and eugenics" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics).
"He donated sperm to the Repository for Germinal Choice, a sperm bank founded by Robert Klark Graham in hopes of spreading humanity's best genes...However, Shockley's views about the genetic superiority of whites over blacks brought the Repository for Germinal Choice notable negative publicity and discouraged other Nobel Prize winners from donating sperm." - Wikipedia.
I didn't take the picture. Here is the original description: "This picture is an experiment with contrast/colour tones. It was taken around 7:30 in the morning so the shadows were pretty horizontal which added to the effect that I manipulated. For the climb I used the lieback route, without actually liebacking it, then dyno'ed to the ledge that I am hanging from." Photo taken by Justin Kerr

A Forest Oil Corp. shareholder sued in New York state court to block the company's proposed acquisition by Sabine Oil & Gas Co. in a transaction that would create one of the biggest operators in East Texas.
The two companies said this week that First Reserve Corp.'s Houston-based Sabine Oil & Gas agreed to buy Denver-based Forest Oil in an all-stock transaction, without giving a value for the deal.
Forest Oil investor Stourbridge Investments LLC filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Wednesday seeking to stop the transaction, saying the deal is at a "grossly inadequate and unfair price" that was arrived at by an "unfair and tainted process."
Larry Busnardo, a spokesman for Forest Oil, didn't immediately respond to a voice-mail message seeking comment on the suit.

I would run the Apple hardware test, specifically to see if there are any memory or disk hardware issues. When prompted, choose the extended test. It may take an hour + to run, depending on how much memory you have.
Also, bring up Disk Utility and verify your hard drive. If it finds any issues, you may need to boot to an OS X DVD or external backup to run the Disk Utility repair disk from another boot volume (you can't repair a volume you've booted from).
JOCL Dec 27, 2012 2:47 PM
in response to BGreg
Thanks for responding so quickly BGreg -- I'll try your suggestions and post the results.
JOCL Dec 27, 2012 3:47 PM
in response to BGreg
BGreg, thanks again -- I did the extended Apple hardware teest and also brought up Disk Utility and verified my hard drive. All tests clean, no problems detected. Anything else I should do? Can I safely conclude that the problem is software-related?
BGreg Dec 27, 2012 4:23 PM
in response to JOCL
While the AHT and Disk Utility (sadly) aren't 100%, passing both says there is not an obvious hardware or disk structure issue. So I'd agree, yes, there likely is a software issue at hand.
How much free disk space do you have? General rule is to keep 10% of the disk capacity free for systems usage.
You might want to run OnyX, for it's cleaning and maintenance functions. As with any disk maintenance utility, you should have a hard drive backup before using it (I've used it for years with no issues). This will clean the system caches, in the event that contributed to what you saw.

I will check out Onyx, thanks!
I recently updated my Firefox version, also downloaded and started using F.lux. There could be some bugs or incompatibility issues going on.
Thanks again for taking the time to respond to my dilemma. If it recurs I may be back with another question.
Happy New Year
JOCL Dec 30, 2012 3:21 PM
in response to BGreg
BGreg, you still out there? I haven't heard the groaning noise since this exchange, however just now, in the last five minutes I heard three separate, single knocks from the computer. Nothing unusual on the screen, no freezing or crashing. Ideas?
JOCL Dec 30, 2012 3:50 PM
in response to JOCL
I can't see where I can delete my last question. Turns out the knocks were chat notifications -- I had gone in a chat room of a forum I participate in, and then wandered off to another website. The knock signifies that someone has posted something.
Sheesh! Scared myself!
Happy New Year.

What problem are you trying to fix today?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS344958
This part attaches to the exhaust duct of your clothes dryer.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
un pluged it then removed the hose took the back off took out the 2 screws out of each part replace it with the new parts , then pluged it back to make sure it would work and it did the very first time. i'm 1 happy roper owner.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Removed the back of the dryer taking off the screws. Found the disposable thermal fuse. Unplugged the 2 blue wires connected to it. Removed the screws holding the part in. Replaced the old part. Reattached the blue wires. Put the back on the dryer. And voila! That simple!I'm a 39 year old woman with absolutely no patience for tedious jobs, but this was so easy I felt good about doing it. And felt even better for saving lots of money by doing the repair myself.
I checked parts select.com and followed the guide lines,ordered the correct parts thanks to the web site help.parts arrived in 2 days,A very easy install and back to work drying clothes.Thanks parts select.
After unplugging the dryer, I removed the bottom panel in front. Remove the the filter inside the dryer and remove the filter housing below. There you can see the thermal fuse on the air duct, its white with two blue wires. You can check it with a ohmmeter after removing the wires. If its open its bad. Its held in place with two sheet metal screws. After replacing the thermal fuse the dryer worked fine. However I would suggest cleaning the air duct and the outside discharge opening. Hope this helps.
Did an Ohm test on the old Thermal Fuse found it to be bad. Replaced it with a new and the dryer is back to working great. Your suggestions saved approximatley $150.Thanks for the help.

Downtown Renaissance Walking Tour
Downtown Renaissance Walking Tour
Main Street downtown was the city's major business district in the mid-nineteenth century. By the 1880s, the hub of commerce was shifting west to Spring Street, and Main Street emerged as an entertainment district with theatres, restaurants, and hotels, several of which remain. Spring Street was the business center of Los Angeles throughout most of the twentieth century. Its concentration of banks and other financial institutions inspired its nickname, "Wall Street of the West."
Grand terra cotta facades and gleaming marble lobbies still define the street. Recognized for its remarkable historic integrity, Spring Street from Fourth to Seventh Streets is a National Register Historic District.
In 1999, the city of Los Angeles enacted an Adaptive Reuse Ordinance that fostered the renewal of underused historic structures, resurrecting neglected landmarks and spurring downtown's revitalization. Spring and Main Streets are once again drawing people to the area with lofts, shops, galleries, theatres, and restaurants.
Walk-ins are accepted on this tour subject to availability. Please have exact change (cash or check, no credit cards) and arrive at least 15 minutes prior to tour time. Groups of 5 or more are strongly encouraged to have advance reservations. Please note that in the unlikely event the tour reaches capacity, patrons with paid reservations have priority.
If you have an informal group, like a Meet Up, and are planning on designating a tour to come to, please alert the Program Manager Annie Laskey at email@example.com or 213-430-4209, so that we can have enough docents available.
Meeting Location: 400 S. Main Street (just south of 4th Street). Tour meets near the café to the right of the building's Main Street entrance.
Parking: Various surface lots in the area.
Metro: Red Line to Pershing Square Station. Follow the signs to 4th Street exit. Go east on 4th Street to Main Street (3 blocks). For details, visit metro.net.

Following his concussion in the curse of a testing accident, there is wide speculation as to whether Fernando Alonso will be back on his feet in time to make the entrance for the Malaysian GP. Alonso had an unfortunate accident in the course of testing, and though reports in Spain indicate that he passed the medicals at Cambridge, there is still time on the clock for the FIA to assess whether or not he will be allowed to proceed.
Fans and enthusiasts all over would love nothing better than to see Alonso in Malaysia next weekend. However, all this will only be possible if the FIA doctors are convinced that he can actually make it. Before getting in for the first practice, he will be put through a number of tests, the prominent of which will require him to evacuate the cockpit in 5 seconds, something which is more of a formality as at this point. Once the technical staff and FIA doctors are convinced, he can then be allowed to participate.
Should Alonso be in participation, McLaren and Honda will be under a lot of pressure, considering that their season started rather sluggish. They will be battling against time, to enhance performance and guarantee reliability on Alonso through the season.
While he was away, Kevin Magnussen was selected as a replacement to partner Jenson Button, and the mismatch was evident as they struggled through Melbourne. Getting him back on schedule is therefore top priority especially for Honda who are keen on getting their F1 challenge back on track.
For them to get the proper mileage in the first race, they had to get their engine turned down. Either way, Button still managed 288 km/h, which was 14 km/h lower than the Mercedes and 21 km/h lower than the Sauber. It will be amazing for the team if they can get Alonso back, considering that he understood the design better, especially having tried it out before the beginning of the season.
The challenge for Honda however, starts from the fact that they have one of the prized assets in the world in Alonso, but he is struggling. When you have a two time world champion struggling for form and having a hard time making it through the qualifying session, you have to fear for the worst.
The worst or the best is yet to come so far, and fans all over the world will be looking to the team to pull together and bring in good results.

My town, in the suburbs of a larger city, has got 3 pediatricians.
The first one is extremely arrogant_ if you ask him about vaccinations and tell him you want to know which vaccines are more or less important, he will act as though you are questioning the expert and kick you out. Same if you ask him why he is prescribing antibiotics. I fired him from doctor before he could fire us from patients.
The second one tends to act as though you are a clueless moron_ and suggest inhalations as the cure to all ills. We thanked him for lending us a machine, but decided not to change over to him.
The third one will always have a 4-hour waiting list (you may get off with 3 or 2 hours if you come on appointment), and once you're in, everything you say or ask will be met with a recitation of the relevant chapter of a medical school book. She will tell you everything there is to know about thrush, but will probably not touch the baby to check if it really has thrush.
...I'm still looking for a good pedi.
Anybody else got similar stories?

Manny Pacquiao, they say, has lost a step — apparently his 55-5-2 career record, with 38 knockouts, isn't enough to quiet the never-ending drive to find boxing's next star.
His deputy, waiting in the wings, was undefeated Tim Bradley, a once up-and-coming buck waiting for the crown.
But then Pacquiao and Bradley fought each other, and everything got messy. Bradley won a controversial split decision in 2012 — a result that was the first of two recent losses for Pacquiao and, in a way, an even bigger loss for Bradley.
They meet in a welterweight rematch Saturday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas with conclusiveness at stake: Who really won their first fight?
"I always believed you only get one chance, but this is my second chance here," Bradley told reporters. "It's my second chance to be a part of greatness."
This bout also is kind of a semifinal match. The Pacquiao-Bradley winner Saturday will advance to face the winner of a May 17 fight in Los Angeles between Denver's Mike Alvarado and Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez.
"Manny will be more aggressive this time," said Shann Vilhauer, Alvarado's trainer. "He'll try to get a knockout, but he'll win a decision again."
Bradley (31-0, 12 knockouts) is one of the best athletes in boxing, a defensive whiz and out-fighter who jabs his way to wins. Pacquiao, on the other hand, is like a jackrabbit, all bouncing angles and jab-power combinations.
At the end of 2012, Pacquiao seemed to be winning a fourth fight against Marquez in Las Vegas. But with seconds left in the sixth round, Pacquiao feinted a jab, then leaned into a vicious knockout punch from Marquez, who won for the first time in their series.
"He's such a good character person, the boxing gods look out for him," said Vilhauer. "But Bradley has improved so much as a boxer, his skills are one of the best."
Alvarado is training in Azuza, Calif., near the San Gabriel Mountains northeast of Los Angeles. His matchup with Marquez comes after a loss to Ruslan Provodnikov in Broomfield last October.
Vilhauer expects an Alvarado-Pacquiao matchup, likely sometime this year.
"Tim Bradley doesn't hit like Marquez," Vilhauer said. "I guess anybody can time a punch and catch somebody. But I don't think Tim Bradley has that in him."

Wheatcroft, Loupe share Wells Fargo lead
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Steve Wheatcroft and Andrew Loupe each shot 7-under 65 on Thursday in rain and steady wind to share the first-round lead in the Wells Fargo Championship, while Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler dodged a thrown golf ball with an earplug attached to it.
As if battling a lengthy and saturated course wasn't enough, playing partners McIlroy and Fowler endured a bizarre event on the sixth tee box when a spectator hurled the dressed-up golf ball their way as Fowler was preparing to hit.
"So random," Fowler said. "The guy tried to say it was a gift. I don't know why you would give a gift of a golf ball with an earplug attached to it."
