Zillow (Z) is down but not out
Zillow (Z) shares got a swift kick in the nuts thanks to soft Q4 guidance. Q4 guidance is for revenue of $30M-$31M, below a $32.5M consensus. Q4 adjusted EBITDA expected to total $3M-$3.5M, down from Q3's $7.6M.
This is typical Wall Street short-sightedness and a great opportunity to load up on shares below $30.
Here is what investors should be focusing on. Revenues were up almost 67.5% over the year ago period. For the quarter, Zillow reported record third quarter revenues of $31.915 million, which beat analyst estimates of $31.66 million. On an earnings per share front, the company reported a profit of 7 cents per share, matching expectations. In the year ago period, Zillow reported revenues of $19.057 million, and a 2 cent per share loss.
What a lot of investors don't realize are the reasons why Zillow lowered guidance. Zillow is switching from making money primarily on advertising to making money by providing leads to real-estate agents and mortgage lenders. This sounds smart in the long term, because lead generation is a business that adapts much better to mobile, and Zillow is now getting more views of homes on mobile than it is on its desktop website.
Also, Zillow is taking foreclosure listings in-house. To expand its database, Zillow now gets data from county records on foreclosed homes and lists them on its site for buyers for free. It used to sell ads to a company called Foreclosure.com. That revenue has gone away.
Mastery Bottom Line:
Make no mistake, Zillow is still a speculative stock. However, if the housing market is truly bottoming out like many think it is, now is a great time to get in. If you've used Zillow you know how powerful a tool it is. I for one can't imagine buying real estate without it.

Title: Is it illegal in Texas to pick bluebonnets? No.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:Is it illegal in Texas to pick a bluebonnet?
As you know, the bluebonnet has been designated by the Texas Legislature in 1901 as "The State Flower of Texas" Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet). This has probably led to the urban myth about it being illegal to pick bluebonnets. In 1971, the Legislature designated four additional species of bluebonnets as the state flower so that there are now five different bluebonnets that are the state flower.
The Texas Department of Public Safety assures us that it is not illegal to pick bluebonnets, and in this link, makes some common-sense suggestions about not trespassing on private property to pick them, and using caution when stopping along side public roadways to see them.
Mr. Smarty Plants would prefer that you didn't pick the bluebonnet flowers, but leave them for others to admire. This also allows the plants to set seed for next year's crop of beautiful flowers. Another way of saying this would be: "Don't mess with Texas Bluebonnets!"

3,681,061 FULLY DENSE CONSOLIDATED-POWDER SUPERALLOYS Stewart G. Fletcher, Latrobe, Pa., assignor to Latrobe Steel Company, Latrobe, Pa. No Drawing. Filed Feb. 16, 1970, Ser. No. 11,861 Int. Cl. C22c 19/00 U.S. Cl. 75-171 6 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Superalloys formed of consolidated powder, which are fully dense and have a composition by weight consisting essentially of about 0.08 to 0.20 percent carbon, about 9 to 34 percent cobalt, about 8 to 17 percent chromium, about 2.5 to 6 percent aluminum, about 1.7 to percent titanium, about 6.5 to 14 percent tungsten and the balance nickel together with minor alloying ingredients and incidental impurities, are characterized by being readily workable as compared to conventional casting alloys of the same chemical composition which are too brittle and have too little ductility to hot work.
The present invention relates to a workable nickel base superalloy and more particularly to a heat-resistant, high-strength, structural alloy of fully dense consolidated powder prepared from solidified powder particles featuring an ultrafine microstructure in which the secondary dendrite arm spacing is substantially all less than about 0.0003 inch and in which the microsegregation of the consolidated alloy has been reduced to limits heretofore unattainable.
The utilization of high temperatures for many diverse operations has become an accepted part of the technology of modern industrial processes. Also, the quest for improved power sources has led to the development of such devices as superchargers, gas turbines, jet engines and the like all operating at elevated temperatures. These developments demand metals and alloys which will withstand prolonged exposure to temperatures well above about 1300 F. and in many instances well above about 1700 F., and are capable of withstanding severe mechanical stress at these temperatures. In many instances it is desired that alloys for use in such apparatus be capable of being hot-worked and machined, while in other instances the alloys may be employed in the form of castings. In any event such alloys must have high strength in order to be useful.
At the present time a number of relatively highly alloyed nickel base alloys, commonly referred to in the trade as superalloys, are commercially available. One such alloy commonly referred to as Mar-M-200 has the following composition: about 0.15% carbon, about cobalt, about 9% chromium, about 5% aluminum, about 2% titanium, about 12.5% tungsten, about 1% columbium, about 0.013% boron, about 0.05% zirconium and the balance nickel with usual impurities. A similar commercial alloy known as Nicrotung has the following composition: about 0.10% carbon, about 10% cobalt, about 12% chromium, about 4% aluminum, about 4% titanium, about 8% tungsten, about 0.05% zirconium, about 0.05 boron, and the balance nickel with the usual impurities in ordinary amounts. Commercial alloys such as Mar-M- 200 and Nicrotung have good oxidation resistance and retain fairly good strength values up to temperatures of 1800 F. or even in some cases up to 2000 F. These nickel base alloys are casting alloys which have relatively low ductility and accordingly are used in their as-cast shape.
Presently as-cast nickel base alloys which correspond 3,681,061 Patented Aug. 1., 1972 compositionally to the alloys in the novel form of the present invention are characterized by relatively coarse dendritic structures which seriously detract from the physical and metallurgical properties of the materials. Because of this undesirable microstructure these alloys are brittle and extremely difiicult to fabricate into useful shapes.
The present invention provides nickel base alloys in a novel form which overcome numerous shortcomings and disadvantages of previously known alloys and which have particular utility at high temperatures. Such alloys are considerably stronger than presently available cast alloys of similar chemical composition, but at the same time are readily fabricable into useful Wrought forms.
Alloys of the present invention can have the general composition range of:
Percent by wt.
Balance substantially nickel with residual impurities in ordinary amounts.
Preferred compositions for most applications in accordance with the present invention have the composition range given below for alloys I and II:
Percent by weight I II Cb Balance substantially nickel with residual impurities in ordinary amounts.
The expression less than followed by a percentage figure for silicon, manganese, iron, zirconium, boron and columbium means that the particular element may be entirely absent or may be present up to the concentration given without deleteriously affecting the alloy.
Each of the superalloys provided by the present invention, though compositionally similar to certain alloys of the prior art, can be distinguished therefrom by its novel metallographic structure with the attendant increase in desirable mechanical properties. More specifically, each of the present nickel-base alloys is characterized by being readily workable.
Because of the high ductility of the unique ultrafine microstructure, the nickel base alloys of this invention can be readily fabricated into useful shapes and retain a large amount of the cold work induced during fabrication which improves the strength of the alloys.
In accordance with the present invention an atomized, prealloyed powder of the desired composition is first made by atomizing a molten alloy charge consisting essentially of the ingredients in substantially the proportions stated in the general compositions set out hereinabove. The molten alloy charge can be obtained if desired, by melting conventional casting alloys such as are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,951,757, patented Sept. 6, 1960, and US. Pat. No. 3,164,465, patented Jan. 5, 1965, the disclosures of each of said patents being incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, the alloys produced in accordance with the invention include a fully dense consolidated-powder alloy having the composition defined by any of claims 1-6 of US. Pat. No. 2,951,757 or any of the claims 1-9 of US. Pat. No. 3,164,465, wherein the improvement comprises the hot workability of the alloy. The atomized alloy charge is then rapidly quenched to solidify the molten particles and prevent appreciable formation of coarse crystals of dispersed secondary phase in the resultant powder. The prealloyed powder is then compressed and mechanically hot worked to consolidate the powder into metal stock having a density substantially equivalent to the alloy in its cast state.
Nickel-base alloys with the composition set out in Table I were made according to this invention and compared with prior art alloys of nearly identical chemical composition.
of atomized powder and on each consolidated and annealed plate. Photomicrographs were taken at 1000 so that microstructural comparisons could be made between commercially produced and atomized and consolidated alloys. Tensile specimens were taken from the centermost portion of the forged and rolled plate which represented the area of densest material. Room temperature and elevated temperature tensile tests at temperatures from 1400 to 2000 F. were performed in a vacuum of better than 1X10- torr at a strain rate of 0.05 inch per minute. Material for the test specimens was machined into sheet tensile specimens approximately 2 inches long (1 inch gauge length) 0.125 inch thick, and 0.5 inch wide (0.20 inch in gauge section).
The specimens were tested in the as-rolled condition without heat treatment, Ultimate tensile strength, 0.2% offset yield strength and percent elongation in a 1.0 inch gauge length, were determined from load-elongation curves and from measurements of the gauge length scribe marks on the broken tensile specimens. The results of these tests appear in Table II.

The molten metal was poured into a preheated zirconialined tundish which has a A in opening in the bottom. The narrow stream of the molten alloy charge from the tundish passed through the center of a mold steel, zirconia lined nozzle of inch diameter opening and was atomized by a jet of high pressure (350 p.s.i.) argon just below the tip of the nozzle. The droplets of prealloyed atomized alloy were rapidly quenched by the inert gas and by a large reservoir of water in the bottom of the atomizing chamber.
The atomized powder obtained was washed several times with acetone, dried and screened to +80 and -80 mesh size fractions. The --80 mesh portion was placed in an Inconel can for consolidation. The can was lined with a sheet of molybdenum to prevent bonding between the can and the powder during consolidation and to facilitate removal of the can material after fabrication. The powders were packed into the can on a vibrating table to obtain as much settling as possible and then cold pressed at from 15 to 30 t.s.i. After the lids were welded on, the cans were hammer forged from approximately 2 inches down to 0.5 inch in height at a temperature of approximately 2125 F. Following reheating the resultant plate was hot rolled at the same temperature down to inch plate using a 10% reduction in thickness for each rolling pass. The consolidated material was then air cooled to room temperature, the plates were annealed, the canning material stripped away and the wrought material sectioned for testing.
Metallographic observations were made on each batch strengths of cast alloys produced in the conventional manner. Metallographic observations showed that dendrite spacing of these atomized superalloys is significantly refined in comparison to conventionally melted and cast superalloys. For example, experimental alloy EL-45 showed a secondary dendrite arm spacing of 0.00008 inch in comparison to a conventionally melted and cast superalloy such as Nicrotung having a dendrite arm spacing of 0.005 and above.
In elevated temperature tests the atomized and consolidated EL-96 demonstrated tensile and yield strengths at 1400 F. vastly superior to the cast alloy Mar-M-200. Further, Mar-M-200 in the cast state has an 1800 F. ductility of 4.5% while the atomized and consolidated form (EL-96) was found to have an elongation of 27.0%.

The 70-200 2.8G VRII
May 26, 2012
Judging from reviews and posts in forums the 70-200 seems to be a mighty fine lens. But compared to primes, is it only a good zoom? Is it good for a zoom lens but can it be compared with a for example 85 mm prime?
I guess I just wondering how good it would be on my D800 and if I would loose a lot image quality compared with my primes. I'm thinking of getting the 70-200, let the 85 1.4G and 105G go and then keep my 35 1.4.
I can't keep them all and I would really like some reach. Too bad Nikon doesn't have longer affordable primes like Canon.
But again - will I be disapointed with the 70-200 on the D800?

This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 10/769,279 filed Jan. 30, 2004, which claims the benefit under 35 USC �119(e) of U.S. Ser. No. 60/459,342 filed Apr. 1, 2003, both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
This invention relates to power tong assemblies used to grip drill pipe and other similar tubular members. More particularly, the invention relates to devices for positioning pipe handling tongs relative to a string of tubulars.
Pipe tongs are often employed in the oil and gas industry to break apart or tighten together threaded tubular member connections. It is generally required that one set of pipe tongs grip and rotate one section of tubular member and one set of pipe tongs grip and hold stationary the other section of tubular member. Modern drilling operations usually employ powered pipe tongs, or power tongs. The first tong rotating the tubular member is typically referred to as the "power tong", while the second tong holding the tubular member stationary is typically referred to as the "backup tong" or simply "backup." Conventional power tongs include devices such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,671,961; 5,819,604; and 5,702,139 to Buck, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Power tongs are bulky and heavy tools, with larger tongs weighing more than 4,500 pounds and even smaller tongs weighing 900 to 1,800 pounds. To help handle these heavy tools, specialized devices have been developed to support the tongs and to move the tongs in and out of the position the tong occupies when working a string of tubulars. These devices are typically referred to as "tong positioners," examples of which may be seen in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,142,042 and 6,318,214 to Buck which are incorporated herein by reference. However, there are improvements which may be made to these prior art tong positioners. Casing couplings and accessories utilized in casing strings often require the power tong and backup to be spaced further apart than is typical in prior art tong positioners. Additionally, it is often necessary to makeup or breakout casing joints at a comparatively greater height above the drill deck than when operating on other types of tubular strings. A device which addressed these and other difficulties would be a significant improvement in the art.
One embodiment of the present invention provides a power tong positioning apparatus comprising a base section and a backup elevating section engaging the base section. A first lift assembly is positioned between the base section and the backup elevating section while a tong elevating section engages the backup elevating section. A second lift assembly is then positioned between the backup elevating section and the tong elevating section.
Another embodiment of the power tong positioning apparatus comprises a base section and a backup tong movably positioned on the base section by a first lift assembly. Then a power tong is operatively connected to the backup tong by a second lift assembly such that the second lift assembly can generate relative vertical displacement between the backup tong and the power tong.
A still further embodiment of the power tong positioning apparatus comprises a backup elevating section having a backup support and a backup tong. The backup includes a quick release assembly constructed to removably and matingly engage the backup support. This embodiment further includes a tong elevating section having a tong support and a tong hanger supporting a power tong. The tong hanger also has a quick release assembly constructed to removably and matingly engage the tong support.
Attached to the inside of upright frame member 13 a is channel guide 14 which has a channel sized to accommodate rollers 31 (see
A third major component of tong positioner 1 is tong elevating section 7, a detailed view of which is seen in
Tong hanger 60 will comprise support sleeves 61 which are tubular members sized to slide over support arms 57 and are secured thereto by pin apertures 68 and 59 being aligned and pinned. Support sleeves 61 will be welded or otherwise attached to spring hangers 62. Spring hangers 62 are well known in the art and may be seen in references such as U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,142,042 and 6,318,214. Within each spring hanger 62, a cable 65 extends over a pulley (hidden from view), extends through stop plate 75 and connects to rod 69 using a swage or other suitable means. Rod 69 has a threaded end opposite the end connected to cable 65 to allow a nut to engage rod 69 and position spring washer 74. A spring 66 is positioned over the connection of rod 69 and cable 65 and extends between stop plate 75 and spring washer 74. The end of cable 65 not attached to rod 69 will be attached to tong connector 64. It will be understood that the weight of the power tong on cable 65 pulls rod 69 (and spring washer 74) against spring 66 which resists the weight of the power tong, but still allows some vertical displacement of the power tong. The two outer tong hangers 62 b will provide the forward tong connectors 64 and the two inner tong hangers 62 a will provide the rear tong connectors 64. A support plate 76 and frame member 13 c will rigidly fix the positions of the spring hangers 62. In the embodiment shown, tong hanger 60 will also include lifting eyes 67 to assist in handling tong hanger 60.
It will also be apparent that the heavy structure of frame members 13 will stabilize backup 50 and power tong 80 against torque imparted to those devices while making up or breaking out tubulars. In the embodiment shown, frame members 13 d and 13 e in the backup and power tong elevating sections will be formed of reinforced steel members.
In many instances, it is also desirable for tong positioner 1 to be capable of moving in a horizontal direction toward and away from the tubular string.
In the embodiment of tong positioner 1 illustrated in the figures, the motive power for various components such as power tongs, lift assemblies, and drive wheel motors will be pressurized hydraulic fluid.
Control valves 104 will operate power tong functions 101 such as the magnitude of torque applied, direction of torque applied (i.e., whether making up or breaking out tubulars), the motor speed and gear shift functions of the power tong, and the opening/closing of the power tong door. Likewise, backup functions 102 will include opening and closing the backup tong while positioner functions will include operating the drive motors 91 and the piston and cylinders in lift assemblies 20 and 70. While lift assembly 20 only provides the relatively simple function of raising and lowering backup elevating section 5, lift assembly 70 operates in both a "float" and a normal mode. The normal mode consists of extending and retracting the piston 77 to raise and lower the lift assembly 70. The float mode will allow the power tong 80 to change position with the exertion of minimal external force. For example, the piston and cylinder assembly 71 will be supplied with a fluid at a sufficient pressure (P1) to maintain lift assembly 70 at a given position against the weight of power tong 80. A relief valve in fluid communication with cylinder 73 will release the fluid pressure in cylinder 73 if the pressure exceeds P1. If a downward force is applied to power tong 80 and increases the pressure in cylinder 73 beyond P1, the relief valve will allow fluid to exit cylinder 73 and allow lift assembly 70 (along with power tong 80) to settle downward until the pressure in cylinder 73 returns to P1. On the other hand, if an upward force is applied to power tong 80, this will tend to reduce the pressure in cylinder 73 to less than P1. A sensor fluidly connected to cylinder 73 will detect this change in pressure and transfer fluid to cylinder 73 until a pressure of P1 is re-established. Thus, lift assembly 70 will continue to rise while there is an external upward force acting on power tong 80. This "float" mode will allow movement of power tong 80 in response to significantly less external force (in one embodiment approximately 100 lbs.) than is required to displace the heavy springs in spring hangers 62.
While this application describes the present invention in terms of certain specific embodiments, many variations and modifications will come within the present inventive intent. For example, while tong hanger lift assembly 70 (and backup lift assembly 20) are shown as employing piston and cylinder devices, all other suitable lifting devices (e.g. power screws, pneumatic lifts, winch and cable systems, rack and pinion arrangements, and other linear actuators) are intended to come within the scope of the present invention. Likewise, while the embodiment discussed above is radio controlled, all functions of tong positioner 1 could be controlled by manually operated valves such as those seen at 86 in

I think it can go both ways, no one's really surprised that people sport M50s in the studio by now. Frankly I find the people more interesting than the headphones they're wearing in this case. "Wow M50s, actual people wearing headphones we talk about on head-fi"...yeah, no.
Care to source pics/links regarding them using UE stuff? It's hard to differentiate between models and brands, unless they've stated it outright.

It looks like the Rock's mom is in the audience behind Cole and Lawler.
Lord Tensai's music hits and we see his logo on the Titantron. An Asian man comes out dressed in all black ninja wear. Tensai comes out in a red robe and a black covering on his face. Alex Riley is in the ring.
Lord Tensai vs. Alex Riley
The Asian man takes off Tensai's robe: no hair! He has tribal tattoos on his chest and shoulders. There is Japanese writing across his left eye and around his skull. He squashes Riley slowly and methodically. Tensai hits him with repeated head butts. Tensai hits a sit down spine buster and the ref stops the match.
Winner by stoppage: Lord Tensai
Tensai spits something in the air and his hand and attacks A-Ry with a claw to the cranium. He releases as his music hits.
CM Punk is backstage walking toward the arena. Punk vs. Henry is next.
We get more stills from WrestleMania.
They show the video from the "empty arena promo" from Cena. Cole says Cena will call out The Rock tonight.
WWE Championship: CM Punk vs. Mark Henry
Punk makes his way to the ring followed by Henry. Punk and Henry go back and forth as the crowd chants for Punk. Henry takes control as he stomps Punk then chokes him out in the bottom rope. Henry stands on Punk's back. Henry verbally abuses Punk; he says he owns him. This is the "monster" Henry from a couple of months ago. Punk jumps right into a bear hug but fights out with a DDT. Henry kicks out decisively.
Punk kicks Henry as the crowd chants "yes" for every kick. Punk leaps off the top rope but he is caught by Henry who rams him into the turnbuckle. Henry goes on the second turnbuckle but Punk moves out of the way of the splash and Henry falls hard on his stomach. Punk goes up top and springboards for a clothesline attempt but Henry catches him in mid-air with his own clothesline.
Punk leaps off the top but is again caught by Henry, this time with a boot to the gut. The crowd chants for Daniel Bryan. Punk mounts a comeback with chops and kicks. He finally knocks Henry down with a roundhouse to the head. Punk goes to the top and hits an elbow drop. Punk sells the pain and doesn't cover Henry who gets up before Punk. Punk hits two high knees to Henry's chin in the corner then tries a bulldog but Henry lifts him and dumps him out of the ring.
Punk gets counted out but is still champ.
Winner by count out: Mark Henry
Henry is mad that he didn't win the title and hits the WSS to Punk on the outside.
Laurinaitis comes out with Otunga and says Punk is going to defend his title often.
Jericho comes through the crowd. He wants to celebrate last night's match with Punk with a drink. Punk is laid out and Jericho pours whiskey on his face. This wakes up Punk who starts coughing. Jericho slips and falls on the liquor. Jericho grabs another bottle and continues to berate Punk and his family. Jericho smashes a full bottle of whiskey on Punk's head and it shatters. Jericho stands over Punk and slowly walks away up the ramp.
The trainers check on Punk.
They show stills of the Sheamus and Daniel Bryan "match" from last night.
Justin Roberts introduces Sheamus. This crowd is hot for Bryan; Sheamus gets about half 'boos.' He is immediately interrupted by Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo's introduction. The crowd starts chanting "Si!" (funny) then "Daniel Bryan!"

The Dolphin & Whale 911 app released by NOAA Fisheries is intended to enhance accurate and timely reporting of stranded marine mammals in the Southeastern U.S.
NOAA Fisheries is faced with numerous challenges to enhance the protection, conservation, and management of marine mammals. One of the main challenges is the lack of public awareness about how to report stranded marine mammals.
When the public is unaware of how to contact their local Stranding Network, response can be delayed, compromising the animal's chance of survival and/or limiting the amount of valuable data collected from dead animals.
By providing valuable information on smartphones, including a colorful species identification guide, the public will know who to call and what to do when they find a sick, injured or dead marine mammal, thus contributing to marine mammal conservation.
Dolphin and Whale 911 app is available for download at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.noaa.dolphinwhale911
For the iPhone and other Apple products it is downloadable from the iTunes Store.

Snow has joined the wild and wet weather chaos in many parts of New Zealand, particularly the South Island, with holidaymakers stranded and key services knocked out.
Been caught up in the wild weather? Send your photos, video and newstips to email@example.com
Several days of heavy rain compounded yesterday, with the West Coast and Fiordland bearing the brunt of the storm.
In Central Otago this morning, people trapped by heavy snowfall were rescued from Lindis Pass.
Several cars had to be abandoned in the area and a police communications spokesman said the snow meant it was slow going on State Highway 8.
Snow had fallen to relatively low levels in parts of South Canterbury and Central Otago.
In the township of Naseby, residents and holidaymakers awoke to find snow on the ground and a heavy dump visible in nearby mountains.
Local motel owner Stuart Hore said the light skiff that fell in Naseby overnight was lighter than the 10cm of heavy, wet snow that fell in the area last January.
Despite two January snowfalls in a row, snow at this time of year was very unusual, Hore said. However, Naseby was 600 metres above sea level, and at that elevation "anything can happen".
"I'm 74 and at least three times we've had snow on Christmas Day or thereabouts," he said. On those occasions there had been 5cm to 8cm of snow.
He said the overnight fall would just be a memory by morning tea.
MetService chief forecaster Peter Kreft said snow was unusual for this time of year, but it had not been unexpected as a southwest change followed the front that had brought heavy rain to parts of the South Island.
Overnight the front had raced north, and by 7am most of the North Island was behind it.
It had been a classic northwesterly cloud band-type storm, Kreft said.
"The distinctive thing about this one was that the northwest flow over the South Island was very moist and lasted for several days."
Queenstown had the lowest temperature this morning, with 6.5 degrees Celsius but that was expected to increase to a high of 14C.
Temperatures in most other places were not particularly cold, with the likes of Westport and Greymouth reaching highs of 18C and 16C.
Rising river levels meanwhile claimed the Wanganui River bridge near Harihari yesterday, with flooding washing out one end of the bridge and forcing the closure of State Highway 6, the main road along the West Coast.
The washout severed a key fibre-optic cable, cutting most methods of communication between about 1000 Westland homes and the rest of the country.
Motorists heading north were forced take lengthy detours - of up to 400 kilometres to reach Christchurch via Wanaka.
The washed-out bridge, which linked the West Coast main highway to the Haast Pass, will be out of action for at least two days.
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) spokesman Ewart Barnsley said contractors were working to divert the river back to its original course by shifting boulders.
A structural engineer was also on site to inspect the 180-metre single-lane bridge.
''We need to know what damage, if any, has been done to that structure,'' Barnsley said.
The agency was also preparing to bring in a temporary bridge, known as a Bailey bridge, from Christchurch to get the road reopened quickly.
''We'll get it open as quickly as we can and only when we have assurance that it's safe,'' he said.
Snap chief executive Mark Petrie said the severed fibre-optic cable prevented residents from making emergency 111 calls, although a technician with a satellite phone was monitoring the phone exchange to ensure emergency calls were put through.
Telecom spokeswoman Kate Woodruffe said cell towers at Fox Glacier, Franz Josef and Mt Hercules had been damaged by the storm.
With access to the towns blocked, technicians would have to wait until it was safe to be helicoptered in to assess and repair the damage.
A slip last night blocked State Highway 6 between Inangahua and Westport in the lower Buller Gorge, but those trapped had since been rescued. Flooding also closed sections of State Highway 73 from Cass through Arthur's Pass to Otira, which remained closed this morning.
Flooding has also closed State highway 7 at the turn-off from Hanmer Springs to Springs Junction. SH69 from Inangahua to Reefton, the Buller Gorge and SH67 from Fairydown to Mussel Point were also shut off this morning.
Fire crews in Harihari and Whataroa had also checked on residents in the two West Coast towns, while the Fire Service had attended about five calls in Hokitika for flooding and helped move people's property to higher ground.
Police called for the evacuation of huts and low-lying areas around the Rakaia River, with flooding making the river ''extremely dangerous''.
Environment Canterbury South Canterbury duty flood controller Tony Henderson said both the Waitaki and Rangitata rivers had risen about 500mm during 48 hours.
The Rangitata went from an average of less than 100 cubic metres per second (cumecs) flow to 1800 cumecs in less than 18 hours.
Henderson expected the river levels to drop as the weather system moved north later today.

Synonymous with British culture, Gin is now enjoyed worldwide and is most commonly drunk in a Gin and Tonic or a Martini. In essence, gin is a spirit with a predominant flavour of juniper berries, which account for its tangy, crispness and refreshing attributes.
There are various styles of gin with London Dry Gin being the most popular - Tanqueray and Beefeater are both notable London Dry Gins. Whilst Juniper must be the dominant flavour, other botanicals can be used to make gin, and there is no limit to what can be used – these often include anise, liquorice root, saffron, cinnamon, cassia bark and orris root. The term "gin" might derive from either the Dutch "jenever" or the French "genièvre" – both of which mean "juniper".
Gin can be made with any neutral spirit, so production methods can vary greatly. It is how the spirit is flavoured that marks the difference between the various styles.
The two principal styles are Distilled Gin and Compound Gin. Distilled Gin is made by re-distilling neutral spirit with the botanicals, whereas compound gin is made by simply steeping spirit in botanicals without re-distillation.
Another variant involves distilling spirit through a tray, or basket of botanicals.
Increasingly, cask-aged gins are also available. One example is Bathtub Gin - Cask-Aged, Navy-Strength, which we think is the best gin for a Last Word (a cocktail made with equal parts Gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino liqueur and fresh lime juice).
Did you know?... The G&T became a popular means of taking quinine (present in cinchona bark used to make tonic) to prevent malaria.

These are Posts and Questions associated with the product, MapleSim
please in nead help in this aaplication (HydraulicsStewartPl) :
1-How do i change the position of platform in playback mode ?
2-How do i connect this model to the out side world
Hi everyone,
I've been able to generate equations of motion for my system. I want to linearize the obtained equations. How to do it? I've been trying to find some example on it, however, haven't been lucky as yet. Can anyone please help me with this? Anticipating a quick reply!
I am trying to get the linearized model of a multibody system which has multiple inputs and multiple outputs. I initially used the "linearization template" of the MapleSim for an inverted pendulum, it worked fine. However, when I tried to get the linearized model for the double inverted pendulum, it gave this error message "problem at initial time: system is underdetermined; cannot solve for the following variables: 'Main.DFPSubsys1inst.eM_MyPendulum1_R1(t)'".
I am trying to extract the underlying equation for a simple operational amplifier circuit in MapleSim 5. The same process that I had used earlier for a simple resistor circuit (without opamp) worked fine and yielded equations. However, when I try to do the same thing with an opamp (configured to do a simple amplification of an input voltage) I get a blank "View Core Equations" box in the Equation Extraction attachment.
The input signal is given above. I don't kown how to get ti in MapleSim whether use custom component or not. Is there anybody can do me a favor. Thank you very much.
Does anyone know how to switch a joint between having a prescribed motion driver and acting as a passive joint? More specifically, I am building a bed of spring to serve as a model for haptic feedback on a Phantom Omni device. Therefore, I need to read the position of the device (which is not a problem) and then based on the position of the device calculate a force to feed back to the device.
Consider the simplified example below. In one situation I may need to give...
I have tf=0.04s but the probe plot only 0.02s at one simulation, 0.03s for another simulation ! How to oblige the probe to plot from 0s to 0.04s ?
How would one set up a multispring model in maplesim?
Actually I don't know the exact model I want to try to explore yet, but I was wondering if someone could show an example of, let's say a beam with 4 springs attached offset to one end. On one end of the beam we inject vibrational frequencies and graph the output on the other end - doesn't matter which end - I imagine we could explore both from both ends. How could we set that up?
Here is my example picture.
Well, I'm trying to connect a translational spring to a revolute joint. But, I'm unable to do so. I'm new to MapleSim and I ain't a mechanical engineer either. I need you to help me a little. Anticipating a quick response!
I have a simulation file consisting of a number of modelica custom componets and maple custom components. I initially generated Random Data with mean 1 and standard deviation 0.5. Constructed all the blocks and combined with a multibody system, it worked fine. However, when I generated Random data with zero mean, then I have this error/problem "Simulation Problem: maximum number of event iterations reached (100) at 1.85000".
I used a couple of pre() function with clock=sample(0,0.01...
What is the maplet in maple ? What does it help me?
What is the maple sim ? where I can download it ?
What do these parameters of Clutch mean,phi_nominal,w_small,k_locked?
And, how can I use them?
Anyone can tell me the detail?
Thank you.
Hi all,
I want to compare two signals with relational block in Maplesim, i.e. greater or equal
The output signal should be a pulsed signal which represents the intervals where one signal is greater or equal to the second signal
How to do this
How to obtain a triagular signal ?
I set the simulation end time tf=5000s,but after running the model,the result can just simulate to 2500s.I don't kown what has gone wrong.There is a power function in the model.When the power is set as 3,the end time can just as long as 2500 second.that is to say,the result show not greater than 2500 second.When the power is set as any other number,4 for example,it can simulate 5000 second.
please help me .

Congratulations! You scored ###!
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 21% on points, higher than 77% of your peers.
All possible test results

You have some potential, but you're probably surrounded by normal people and thus you're lacking in a proper education. Find some geeks and pursue your geek knowledge further. Read more
You're on your way to true Geek status, but you're still a bit of a wannabe. Normal people find you endearing. Keep up the good work and greater Geekdom may be within your grasp. Read more
