Buddhism and Language: A Study of Indo-Tibetan Scholasticism (Suny Series, Toward a Comparative Philosophy of Religions)
Taking language as its general theme, this book explores how the tradition of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist philosophical speculation exemplifies the character of scholasticism. Scholasticism, as an abstract and general category, is developed as a valuable theoretical tool for understanding a variety of intellectual movements in the history of philosophy of religion. The book investigates the Buddhist Scholastic theory and use of scripture, the nature of doctrine and its transcendence in experience, Mahayana Buddhist hermeneutics, the theory and practice of exegesis, and questions concerning the authority of sacred texts. It also deals with the Buddhist Scholastic theory of conceptual thought as the mirror of language, the Scholastic defense of logic and rationality as a method, as well as the role of language in the idealist and nominalist ontologies of the Mahayana. Finally, the author treats the question of ineffability and the silence of the Buddha from a new perspective.

RUBY P. SAUNDERS, PLAINTIFF,v.MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, DEFENDANT.
Plaintiff filed this action seeking reversal of the decision of defendant, the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (the "Commissioner"), denying plaintiff's application for disability insurance benefits. The parties have filed a Joint Stipulation ("JS") setting forth their contentions with respect to each disputed issue.
Administrative Proceedings
The parties are familiar with the procedural facts, which are summarized in the Joint Stipulation. [See JS 2]. In a June 23, 2008 written hearing decision that constitutes the Commissioner's final decision in this case, the ALJ concluded that plaintiff was not disabled because she could perform her past relevant work. [Administrative Record ("AR") 33-35].
Standard of Review
The Commissioner's denial of benefits should be disturbed only if it is not supported by substantial evidence or is based on legal error. Stout v. Comm'r Social Sec. Admin., 454 F.3d 1050, 1054 (9th Cir. 2006); Thomas v. Barnhart, 278 F.3d 947, 954 (9th Cir. 2002). "Substantial evidence" means "more than a mere scintilla, but less than a preponderance." Bayliss v. Barnhart, 427 F.3d 1211, 1214 n.1 (9th Cir. 2005). "It is such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." Burch v. Barnhart, 400 F.3d 676, 679 (9th Cir. 2005)(internal quotation marks omitted). The court is required to review the record as a whole and to consider evidence detracting from the decision as well as evidence supporting the decision. Robbins v. Soc. Sec. Admin, 466 F.3d 880, 882 (9th Cir. 2006); Verduzco v. Apfel, 188 F.3d 1087, 1089 (9th Cir. 1999). "Where the evidence is susceptible to more than one rational interpretation, one of which supports the ALJ's decision, the ALJ's conclusion must be upheld." Thomas, 278 F.3d at 954 (citing Morgan v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec. Admin., 169 F.3d 595, 599 (9th Cir.1999)).
Medical Opinion Evidence
Plaintiff contends that the ALJ erred in rejecting the opinion of a treating physician Robert S. Pashman, M.D. [See JS 4-17].
The ALJ found that plaintiff has severe impairments consisting of disc disease of the lumbar spine, status post hemi-laminectomy on October 29, 2003, idiopathic scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine, and degenerative joint disease of the left knee, status post arthroscopic surgery on January 18, 2006. [AR 23].
A treating physician's opinion is not binding on the Commissioner with respect to the existence of an impairment or the ultimate issue of disability. Tonapetyan v. Halter, 242 F.3d 1144, 1148 (9th Cir. 2001). Where, however, a treating physician's medical opinion as to the nature and severity of an individual's impairment is well-supported and not inconsistent with other substantial evidence in the record, that opinion is entitled to controlling weight. Edlund v. Massanari, 253 F.3d 1152, 1157 (9th Cir. 2001); Holohan v. Massanari, 246 F.3d 1195, 1202 (9th Cir. 2001); see 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(d)(2), 416.927(d)(2); Social Security Ruling ("SSR") 96-2p, 1996 WL 374188, at *1-*2. Even when not entitled to controlling weight, "treating source medical opinions are still entitled to deference and must be weighed" in light of (1) the length of the treatment relationship; (2) the frequency of examination; (3) the nature and extent of the treatment relationship; (4) the supportability of the diagnosis; (5) consistency with other evidence in the record; and (6) the area of specialization. Edlund, 253 F.3d at 1157 & n.6 (quoting SSR 96-2p and citing 20 C.F.R. § 404.1527); Holohan, 246 F.3d at 1202.
The ALJ must provide clear and convincing reasons, supported by substantial evidence in the record, for rejecting an uncontroverted treating source opinion. If contradicted by that of another doctor, a treating or examining source opinion may be rejected for specific and legitimate reasons that are based on substantial evidence in the record. Batson v. Comm'r of Soc. Sec. Admin., 359 F.3d 1190, 1195 (9th Cir. 2004); Tonapetyan, 242 F.3d at 1148-1149; Lester v. Chater, 81 F.3d 821, 830-831 (9th Cir. 1995). "The opinion of a nonexamining physician cannot by itself constitute substantial evidence that justifies the rejection of the opinion of either an examining physician or a treating physician." Lester, 81 F.3d at 831.
The ALJ found that plaintiff retained the residual functional capacity ("RFC") for light work, except that she could stand or walk for a total of two hours in an eight-hour day, must be permitted to alternate sitting and standing to relieve pain or discomfort, and was limited to occasional bending and stooping. [AR 32]. In making that determination, the ALJ rejected a May 10, 2004 assessment by Dr. Pashman, the "Director of Scoliosis and Spinal Deformity" at the Cedars-Sinai Institute for Spinal Disorders. [See AR 279-280]. On that date, Dr. Pashman signed a completed assessment form entitled "Attending Physician's Statement of Impairment and Function." [AR 279-280]. That form bears the logo of "ING Employee Benefits," and it includes the following statement: "The patient is responsible for the completion of this form without expense to the employer." [AR 279]. Dr. Pashman provided the following information on that form. Plaintiff had a primary diagnosis of adult idiopathic scoliosis, with additional diagnoses of adult fractional lumbosacral curve and clinical severe left L-5 radiculopathy. [AR 27, 279]. Plaintiff's subjective symptoms were low back pain and leg pain, with an objective finding of "scoliosis." MRIs of the lumbar spine were obtained on January 2, 2003 and October 23, 2003, as well as "various x-rays" on January 14, 2003 and October 29, 2003. [AR 279]. Those diagnostic tests showed degenerative disc disease at L4-S1. Plaintiff underwent surgery, a hemi-laminectomy at L5, on October 29, 2003. Dr. Pashman advised plaintiff to stop working as of that date. [AR 279]. Plaintiff's current treatment plan entailed physical therapy two to three times a week. Plaintiff was compliant with, and exhibited good tolerance to, physical therapy. [AR 273]. With respect to the period from October 29, 2003 (the date of plaintiff's surgery) through November 29, 2004, Dr. Pashman opined that plaintiff could lift less than ten pounds occasionally and could sit, stand, or walk for less than one hour each. [AR 279-280]. Those restrictions indicate that plaintiff could not perform the full range of sedentary work or work for eight hours a day, five days a week. See 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1545(b)&(c), 416.945(b)&(c)(stating that when the Commissioner assesses a claimant's physical and mental abilities, "we... determine your [RFC] for work activity on a regular and continuing basis"); SSR 96-8p, 1996 WL 374184, at *1 ("Ordinarily, RFC is an assessment of an individual's ability to do sustained work-related physical and mental activities in a work setting on a regular and continuing basis. A 'regular and continuing basis' means 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week, or an equivalent work schedule."); see also Burch, 400 F.3d at 683 (applying the "regular and continuing basis" standard). Dr. Pashman stated that as of November 20, 2004, plaintiff could return to work twenty hours a week, provided that she did not have to lift or carry more than ten pounds or engage in "prolonged" sitting, standing, or walking. [AR 280]. While less restrictive than the limitations Dr. Pashman assessed for the one-year period beginning on October 29, 2003, working twenty hours a week is not equivalent to working "8 hours a day, for 5 days a week," as generally contemplated by the definition of RFC. See SSR 96-8p, 1996 WL 374184, at *7 & n.7. Dr. Pashman estimated that plaintiff could return to work full-time as of May 1, 2005, provided that she did not have to lift or carry more than fifteen pounds. [AR 280]. Plaintiff concedes that Dr. Pashman's opinion indicates that she could perform sedentary work as of May 1, 2005 and therefore establishes that she was not disabled on or after that date. [JS 5].
The ALJ articulated reasons for rejecting in Dr. Pashman's May 2004 disability opinion. First, he said that it was inconsistent with a February 2004 letter from Dr. Pashman to Bryan Flyer, M.D., another of plaintiff's treating physicians, and that "there are no progress records from Dr. Pashman showing an increase in [plaintiff's] signs and symptoms" between February 26, 2004 and May 10, 2004. [See AR 27, 283, 652-727]. In his letter to Dr. Flyer, Dr. Pashman remarked that plaintiff was status post hemilaminectomy on October 29, 2003 for significant left L5 radiculopathy, and that she also had adult idiopathic scoliosis. He added that plaintiff reported "today, that the radiculopathy is much improved." [AR 283]. He noted that plaintiff has "global body pain that is unrelated to the radiculopathy," and that if the "two major curves" caused by her scoliosis "could be stabilized," that would help her neck and upper back pain because of the coronal plane decompensation. Clearly, at this point, though, the radiculopathy is better, for which she originally came to see me. I will return her to work without significant restrictions, and if she wants surgery on her adult idiopathic scoliosis at some point, we will consider it for her. [AR 283]. A contemporaneous examination report indicated that plaintiff complained of a pain level of 4 on a 1-to-10 scale. She reported that her pain "comes and goes," that she had some difficulty walking but walked better with a brace, and that she "is getting better." [AR 284]. Her physical therapy had been discontinued the week before. She was using a TENS unit but was not taking pain medication. [AR 284].
The apparent conflict between Dr. Pashman's two assessments is clear. In February 2004, he told Dr. Flyer that he was releasing plaintiff to work with no significant restrictions. Then, in May 2004, Dr. Pashman completed an employment-related form indicating that plaintiff was severely limited and unable to work at least through November 2004, and that she could work only part-time for several months thereafter.
Plaintiff disagrees with the ALJ's conclusion that the record did not contain progress reports showing a worsening of plaintiff's condition between February 2004 and May 2004. Plaintiff points to a Cedars-Sinai progress note dated March 9, 2004 showing that plaintiff reported periodic left leg pain and bilateral shoulder and neck pain, and that she was prescribed physical therapy. [AR 377]. A second progress note dated April 20, 2004 states that plaintiff reported a pain level of 7 on a 1-to-10 scale, radicular pain in the left lower leg, shoulder pain, and neck pain. [AR 375]. Aquatic therapy was prescribed. [AR 281, 374]. In January 2005, Dr. Pashman continued a prescription for physical therapy [AR 371] and concluded that "[d]ue to the relatively mild nature of her scoliosis,... corrective surgery is [not] indicated at this time. The patient is in agreement...." [AR 497].
It appears that someone other than Dr. Pashman actually completed the March 2004 and April 2004 progress notes, but even if they are attributable to him, those reports do not undermine the ALJ's conclusion that there are no treatment notes supporting a material increase in plaintiff's signs or symptoms between February 2004 and May 2004. The record indicates that the substance of plaintiff's subjective complaints (periodic leg pain and ongoing shoulder and neck pain) did not change significantly during that period. [See AR 284, 374, 377]. Plaintiff rated the intensity of her pain incrementally higher in March 2004 and again in April 2004, but she also said that heat, ice, and aspirin helped the pain, and no pain medication was mentioned or prescribed. [AR 374, 377]. Furthermore, Dr. Pashman acknowledged that plaintiff had ongoing complaints of "global body pain" in February 2004, but that did not deter him from releasing her to work without significant restrictions. [AR 283]. Plaintiff was receiving physical therapy until a week or two before Dr. Pashman wrote to Dr. Flyer, and she continued to undergo physical therapy in March 2004. [See AR 374-388]. By April 2004, she had been discharged from physical therapy, and aquatic therapy was prescribed instead for 4-6 weeks. [AR 374, 379]. In January 2005, another course of physical therapy was prescribed. Thus, plaintiff's therapy regimen remained quite stable. The ALJ permissibly concluded that none of Dr. Pashman's treatment records showed a material increase in plaintiff's signs or symptoms.
The ALJ also rejected Dr. Pashman's May 2004 disability opinion because "the most detailed examination report from the first half of 2004 is Dr. Sophon's March 22, 2004 consultative report," which "reveals findings consistent with a light exertional capacity." [AR 27, 230-234]. Dr. Sophon was an orthopedist. Unlike the March 2004 and April 2004 treatment notes cited by plaintiff, Dr. Sophon's examination report contains detailed physical and neurological findings. Dr. Sophon also obtained a history and reviewed medical records. Although his functional assessment is less restrictive than that ultimately adopted by the ALJ, the ALJ did not err in concluding that Dr. Sophon's March 2004 report contained much more detailed clinical findings than the March 2004 and April 2004 progress notes from Cedars-Sinai, and that Dr. Sophon's assessment contradicted Dr. Pashman's May 2004 disability opinion. See Thomas, 278 F.3d at 957 ("The opinions of non-treating or non-examining physicians may also serve as substantial evidence when the opinions are consistent with independent clinical findings or other evidence in the record.").
The ALJ articulated specific, legitimate reasons for rejecting the controverted opinion of Dr. Pashman. Accordingly, plaintiff's contentions lack merit.
Credibility Determination
Plaintiff contends that the ALJ failed to articulate legally sufficient reasons for rejecting the alleged severity of plaintiff's subjective symptoms. [See JS 12-23].
Once a disability claimant produces evidence of an underlying physical or mental impairment that is reasonably likely to be the source of his or her subjective symptoms, the adjudicator is required to consider all subjective testimony as to the severity of the symptoms. Moisa v. Barnhart, 367 F.3d 882, 885 (9th Cir. 2004); Bunnell v. Sullivan, 947 F.2d 341, 345 (9th Cir. 1991) (en banc); see also 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1529(a), 416.929(a) (explaining how pain and other symptoms are evaluated). Although the ALJ may then disregard the subjective testimony he considers not credible, he must provide specific, convincing reasons for doing so. Tonapetyan, 242 F.3d at 1148; see also Moisa, 367 F.3d at 885 (stating that in the absence of evidence of malingering, an ALJ may not dismiss the subjective testimony of claimant without providing "clear and convincing reasons"). The ALJ's credibility findings "must be sufficiently specific to allow a reviewing court to conclude the ALJ rejected the claimant's testimony on permissible grounds and did not arbitrarily discredit the claimant's testimony." Moisa, 367 F.3d at 885; see Light v. Social Sec. Admin., 119 F.3d 789, 792 (9th Cir. 1997) (enumerating factors that bear on the credibility of subjective complaints); Fair v. Bowen, 885 F.2d 597, 604 n.5 (9th Cir. 1989)(same). If the ALJ's assessment of the claimant's testimony is reasonable and is supported by substantial evidence, it is not the court's role to "second-guess" it. Rollins v. Massanari, 261 F.3d 853, 857 (9th Cir. 2001).
Plaintiff contends that the ALJ impermissibly rejected her subjective testimony that she has significant limitations and pain as a result of her orthopedic impairments, ambulates with a cane, can stand for approximately one hour, sit for approximately thirty to forty-five minutes, and relies on use of a TENS unit, exercise, and spa treatments to alleviate pain. [See JS 12; AR 932-936].
The ALJ provided specific, clear, and convincing reasons supporting his finding that plaintiff's subjective complaints were not fully credible. [AR 32]. First, he said that the medical evidence regarding the nature and extent of plaintiff's orthopedic impairments did not corroborate the "major limitations" she alleged. [AR 32]. Contrary to plaintiff's assertions, the ALJ permissibly relied, in part, on the lack of medical evidence corroborating the alleged severity of her subjective symptoms and limitations. See Burch, 400 F.3d at 681 ("Although lack of medical evidence cannot form the sole basis for discounting pain testimony, it is a factor that the ALJ can consider in his credibility analysis."). That reason also was legitimate. In his February 2004 letter, Dr. Pashman indicated that plaintiff's left L5 radiculopathy was "much improved" following surgery in October 2003. [AR 283]. Plaintiff's ongoing subjective complaints of "global body pain," neck pain, and upper back pain related to her "mild" scoliosis did not prevent Dr. Pashman from releasing plaintiff to work with no significant restrictions. [AR 283, 497].
Plaintiff argues that another treating physician, Dr. Hymes, opined that plaintiff could sit for no more than one hour in a work day, and therefore that the ALJ was incorrect in saying that the medical evidence did not corroborate plaintiff's subjective symptoms. [AR 759]. Dr. Hymes, however, first examined plaintiff in June 2007, long after expiration of her insured status on March 31, 2006, and he completed a functional assessment in December 2007, almost two years after plaintiff's date last insured. [AR 23, 757-764]. Dr. Hymes did not indicate that his assessment was intended to be retrospective. Furthermore, the ALJ rejected Dr. Hymes's opinion because the "few progress notes from him reveal minimal objective findings to support the severe limitations he ascribed to plaintiff." [AR 31]. Plaintiff does not challenge the ALJ's rejection of Dr. Hymes's opinion. The ALJ found that the medical evidence as a whole did not corroborate plaintiff's subjective complaints, and that finding is specific and convincing.
Second, the ALJ rationally discounted the significance of plaintiff's use of a cane because "no physician of record has found that an assistive device is necessary for [plaintiff]." [AR 32]. In December 2003, Dr. Pashman signed an "Orthopedic Physical Therapy Program Prescription." [AR 290]. He did not check the box marked "assess for assistive device," nor did he otherwise indicate that an assistive device was in use or was warranted at that time. [See AR 290-297]. A progress note dated February 26, 2004 says that plaintiff reported that she could walk better with a "brace," but on the same day, Dr. Pashman wrote to Dr. Flyer that he was releasing plaintiff to work without significant restrictions. He did not mention any use of, or need for, a brace or an assistive device in that letter. [AR 283-284]. Plaintiff's use of a "straight cane" was noted in a March 2004 progress note from Cedars-Sinai. [AR 377]. However, Dr. Sophon, the consultative orthopedist, reported in his March 2004 examination report that plaintiff "uses no assistive devices to ambulate," was able to get on and off the examining table without difficulty, rose from a chair without difficulty, had a normal gait, and could walk on her tiptoes and heels without difficulty. [AR 231]. The record as a whole supports the ALJ's conclusion that plaintiff's use of a cane was not medically necessary, and therefore that its use did not credibly suggest a more restrictive RFC than the one he assessed. See Verduzco, 188 F.3d at 1088 (holding that the ALJ permissibly discounted the claimant's subjective testimony where, among other things, the claimant used a cane at the hearing "but none of his doctors had ever indicated that he used or needed to use an assistive device in order to walk," and the claimant also stood up swiftly and without apparent difficulty during the hearing).
The ALJ acknowledged that plaintiff made "regular and frequent" visits to doctors, but he also observed that she had few or no emergency visits and only brief hospitalizations related to her lumbar surgery on October 29, 2003 and her left knee surgery on January 18, 2006. The ALJ noted that plaintiff said she was allergic to several medications. Her treatment consisted primarily of a TENS unit, exercise, and spa treatments. [AR 933-936]. Although plaintiff's relatively limited need for hospitalization or emergency treatment, standing alone, is not highly probative, it is a factor that the ALJ properly considered in determining that plaintiff's pain and subjective symptoms were not disabling. Fair, 885 F.2d at 603-604 (noting that disability insurance benefits are not for those who experience nondisabling pain, and holding that the ALJ permissibly considered discrepancies between the claimant's allegations of "persistent and increasingly severe pain" and the nature and extent of treatment obtained).
The ALJ articulated specific, convincing reasons for his credibility assessment, which is reasonable and supported by substantial evidence. Accordingly, the ALJ's finding will not be disturbed. See Rollins, 261 F.3d at 857.
For the reasons stated above, the Commissioner's decision is supported by substantial evidence and reflects application of the proper legal standards. Accordingly, defendant's decision is affirmed.

In Babette's Feast, a chef transforms a stoic Danish town through her decadent cooking. Bring plenty of tissue! You'll also be inspired to prepare quails for your next dinner party. Presented in partnership with Oliver and Bonacini and the Food Network, a guest chef will examine each film beforehand.
|His Girl Friday
His Girl Friday stars Rosalind Russell as a tough female journalist whose banter with Cary Grant keeps him on his toes as they confront the flaws of the legal system.
Carole Lombard was the Goldie Hawn of Classic American Film - her comedic timing was legendary. In My Man Godfrey, she seems to lack the intelligence of her sister Cornelia 'the brunette' (Gail Patrick), but blended with childlike simplicity, there's an undercurrent of rebelliousness that gives her role more complexity. The film is about a socialite who falls in love with the butler much to her sister's dismay.
The Philadelphia Story also pokes fun at the elite, through the story of Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn) as a socialite who realizes she doesn't wish to be idolized as a 'Goddess' through the chaos caused by her impending wedding.
|Take This Waltz
On the documentary front, the NFB is showing the series Free Favourites at Four. It includes films on the increasing popularity of the Nigerian Film industry, Nollywood Babylon, as well as films such as The Chocolate Farmer that is also about celebrating and preserving a culture's values.
At The Regent Theatre, Director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) explores Burma's democracy through a love story starring Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon) and David Thewlis (Harry Potter Films).

- Product Description
Math Mammoth Light Blue Series constitutes a full elementary mathematics curriculum for grades 1-7.
Some of the main features of the curriculum are:
- It is mastery-oriented and organized into chapters by topics. Thus, in each chapter the curriculum concentrates on one theme and its connecting topics (such as place value, multiplication, or geometry). Each grade level typically contains 8-10 chapters.
- The curriculum focuses strongly on conceptual understanding.
- Visual models and exercises are used a lot.
- Mental math and number sense are emphasized.
- The curriculum is nearly self-teaching for many children, since the full explanations of concepts are included in the student books. Thus it requires fairly little preparation time from the teacher.
- The curriculum meets and exceeds the Common Core Standards.
What is provided?
The CD contains the curriculum for each of the grades from 1 through 7 as PDF files.
Each grade level consists of two student worktexts (A and B), which contain both the teaching (explanations) and all the student work (exercises). Also included are answer keys, tests, cumulative review lessons, and a versatile worksheet maker (Internet access required).
Additionally, the CD provides these "extras":
- files to replace the chapter on money in grades 1, 2, and 3 in Canadian, British, European, Australian, and South African currencies. The student worktexts use U.S. dollars as a default currency.
- bonus software Soft-Pak
- user guide (you can also download this from the web page of each grade level)
- Common Core alignment documentation (you can also download this from the web page of each grade level)
- Ask The Seller
Do you think that program would work for a child with an intellectual disability?Asked by a Homeschooler and Parent on May 7th, 2016
Hi! Yes, I think Math Mammoth can work in that situation, also. I have had good feedback from educators using MM in special education. However, the teacher is always a bigger part of the "equation" than the math book. The teacher would need to adjust the pace and how much is assigned, for example. But the foundations of math concepts are the same for everyone. We just cannot expect such children to learn as quickly, nor reach as far as children with normal intelligence.

Well designed curriculum for working ahead of school
I'm not full time homeschooling but I'm working on extra practice/learning ahead for for my son. He's ahead in math and wants to understand higher level concepts than he's currently learning in 2nd grade. Math Mammoth makes it easy for me to pick a lesson and teach it without having to spend hours on math.
The lessons are well put together and explained well to the instructor. I'm using this with the free online Khan Academy. I just wish I'd found this last year!

Comparable to the other mastery based math programs
So I've read quite a ton of reviews for the Math Mammoth Light Blue Series and my 3rd grader is definitely enjoying this set which covers him till he's 7th grade level. I bought this because it's mastery based so we go in depth with math concepts and since there's also the Blue Series, if I ever want to go forward with supplemental work, there's that option for me.
I love that this is the CD-Rom version because I feel we get bonus materials with the Money chapters and I've started reading that part of it because it covers money from other parts of the world. I think it's one of the better programs out there.Natalie A - Super-hero - Member Since July 2015

The Four Day Summit Climb Teams August 14 - 17, 2016 enjoyed beautiful weather during their time in Mt. Rainier National Park. Today was no different as the teams got an early start from Camp Muir and were able to enjoy the views from the summit of Mt. Rainier. The teams, led by RMI Guides Mike King & Steve Gately, reported light winds and perfect weather. We look forward to seeing them at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.

Day one on a Mt. Shuksan Fisher Chimneys trip is a big day, maybe the biggest day of the climb. Most guided parties take eight hours to reach high camp perched at the edge of the Price Glacier above the Chimneys. So when the team drove to the trail head in a heavy wet cloud we needed to make a decision about hiking in those conditions. We stood in the parking lot in our gore-tex, gathering large beads of water that collected from simply standing in the cloud. We drove back down the mountain hoping the forecast for better afternoon weather would prove true. It did not and we decided to try again in the morning.
The following day, as clouds started to pass over the area, we began the approach in a drier cloud and took every bit of the eight hours to climb the Chimneys to high camp. The plan was to set up camp, rest for a few hours and continue towards the summit unburdened by heavy packs. At 4:30 p.m. we began the journey upward, traversing the Price, climbing the steep Hell's Highway and cresting onto the upper Sulphide Glacier. A cloud followed us up the Sulphide, hiding the summit pyramid but we were able to climb on instruments towards its base. At 7:00 p.m. the clouds parted long enough to show us the pyramid and in what condition it lay. A steep snow traverse gained the lower rock band where it usually is a low angle scramble and we spotted a few teams descending in the early evening light. So far, we had been moving for 12 hours and now we were looking at summiting around dark and descending complicated terrain under headlamp. We made the conservative call to turn around and made our high point the base of the pyramid, just 600 vertical feet shy of the very top. Disappointing sure, but the team put in an extraordinary effort to climb all day and we were satisfied with the decision to leave the summit for another day.

We woke up this morning at 3:00 AM to a wet snow fall on the lower Kahiltna Glacier. I personally stayed up all morning waiting for it to taper off. Finally at 6 we decided to push to the runway and see if we could get a flight out today. After a couple hours of walking we turned the corner and started up the Southeast Fork, aka Heartbreak Hill. At this point we heard some planes began landing and with the shear excitement of beer and burgers we made our way up to the landing strip. The weather was in and out so we didn't all get flights out immediately but throughout the early afternoon we all got off the glacier and flew back to Talkeetna. We are currently having dinner at the West Rib and preparing for a big night of celebration.

Hi all, sorry there hasn't been a dispatch since we summited, we've been busy and on the move a lot. The team did a fantastic job climbing the Upper Rib yesterday and we all made the summit just after 7:00 PM. After some hugs, photos, and congratulations we began our descent down to 17 Camp on the West Buttress. Thirteen hours after we started climbing we were crawling into our tents, exhausted but very satisfied with our accomplishment. This morning we woke up early to get low on the mountain before the 50 mph forecasted winds rolled in this afternoon. I am truly amazed at how strong this team is, even after a big summit day everyone climbed very well as we made our way down the Buttress and fixed lines to 14 Camp. Here we took about an hour to retrieve our cache and re pack before we hit the trail to 11 Camp. I thought for sure folks would be tired at 11 camp, but no. We dug up our cache here rigged for traveling with sleds and kept descending. We are currently at the base of Ski Hilll, 7800', getting a little rest and waiting for the cold of the night before we walk the lower Kahiltna Glacier back to the landing strip. Weather permitting we will be on board an airplane first thing in the morning.
Thanks so much for following along throughout our expedition

GORGEOUS PRIVATE RURAL RETREAT IN A TOWN SETTING JUST 'MINUTES' WALK FROM SHOPS AND SCHOOLS13 Clay Street, Pomona
Peaceful and private, this charming property allows you to enjoy a lovely leafy green outlook and abundant birdlife, without all the upkeep of acreage.
Much loved by the current owners, this home is as sturdy as it is pretty, with an all-hardwood frame and red cedar timber construction.
Exposed beams and hardwood timber floors feature throughout, and the home has been freshly painted with new carpet in the bedrooms and on the staircase.
There's plenty of space for family and friends with 3 bedrooms plus a study nook, a main bathrooms and an ensuite to the master.
The spacious, solid timber kitchen features gorgeous stone-look bench tops and a dishwasher, with space for a large fridge and lovely big windows to let in the light and breezes.
There's both a separate dining room, and a separate sunken lounge, with glass sliding doors opening out to wide, covered front and rear verandahs.
It's attention to detail that counts, and there's plenty here, with air-conditioning, new lights and ceiling fans throughout, solar hot water, pretty views from every window and louvre windows for great airflow in summer.
Surrounded by trees and parkland, this is no average town block, offering an impressive, fully fenced and gated 1183sqm of land.
Step outside and you'll feel as if you're on acreage, as this charming property includes very productive raised vegetable gardens, fruit trees, a chook house, garden shed, sand pit, tree house and a fire pit.
A concrete driveway leads to a double lock-up garage - with extra height for a mezzanine storage level - plus loads of off-street parking for cars, a caravan and a boat. A handy addition here is the side access into the back yard for a trailer or small boat.
Boasting massive street appeal, with pretty Cunningham Park across the laneway, this super property is walking distance from the Village shops and schools, and benefits from mains power and sewerage.
The current owners wish they could take the house with them, saying they'll miss the fresh eggs and veggies, the cosy feel of the sunken lounge, the protected decks for year-round outdoor enjoyment, and the convenience of having a reserve across the lane, for a game of footy with the kids or walking the dog.
If it's all about location, this is it! A private rural retreat, hidden away in a leafy laneway, yet so close to everything you need to make life easy.

The present invention, while relating to the presentation of overlaid graphic and video displays on cathoderay-tube monitor screens and the like, is more particularly concerned with horizontal synchronizing problems arising under special situations, such as in the presentation of still frames from video disc or similar video sources where it is difficult to synchronize during the phase instabilities in the vertical interval or otherwise to ignore or recover from synch output deviations or aberrations that otherwise present undesirable flagging or overscan at the top of a video-graphic data overlay display.
In the provision of interactive multimedia information systems, computer cathode-ray-tube screens may display software-controlled graphics as an overlay on video disc-provided video rasters as described, for example, in 1988 bulletins of the assignee of the present application entitled "Visage-A Clear Path To The Future Of Interactive Multimedia Information Systems" and "Interactive Video Upgrade Delivery Systems" and the equipments therein described. For such overlay applications, a limitation in attaining higher resolution graphics resides in the limit of 483 active video horizontal scan lines available in the standard American television raster.
Many of these lines would not normally show on a television tube, being lost off the top and bottom. With the current VGA standards which include graphics of 480 vertically stacked scan lines, in order to be able to show the entire graphics field in a straightforward way overlaid upon a video raster, it becomes necessary to show all the video frame in the active display area of the tube so as to avoid distorting the aspect ratio of the video image. It is therefore necessary to show the entire horizontal range of the video shrunk down to the viewing range, also. Thus, unlike television presentations, the absolute vertical limit edges of the active video field now appear on the active area of the cathode-ray-tube face or screen. In prior products, there has been no attempt to make the edges of the graphics field align absolutely precisely with the edges of the video field. The resulting effect is to expose the ragged and very unappealing-looking vertical edges of the video frame field or raster. The approach of this invention, however, is to use the active area of the graphics raster, 480 lines vertically (very few--three--lines less than the video) in the vertical with an appropriate horizontal dot clock of a one-to-one ratio.
The present invention is concerned with improvement in the horizontal synchronization techniques for such applications which can obviate the before-described flagging at the top of the display and, moreover, are particularly useful when digital television type chip sets, such as the ITT Type 2000, are used with their inherent hereinafter-explained short comings or defects in this regard--the general function here-addressed being that of establishing a clock frequency to be supplied to the digital graphics information which will cause the emerging graphics to be in perfect synchronization in at all times and under all circumstances with the available video information.
The conventional method of effecting horizontal synchronization in such and similar systems is to generate the signal from a phase-lock loop by phase comparison between the horizontal synch pulses coming from the graphics device and from the video source. Elementary phase lock loop techniques do not, however, provide optimum performance in these systems particularly when the use of VGA high resolution graphics is involved and the use of progressive scan frequency-doubled video to be compatible for overlay with the VGA output, with the corresponding need to show underscanned video to match the raster requirements of the graphics, as before-mentioned, and in which instances the performance limitations of the earlier techniques have become much more visible to the user. Specifically, the combination of difficulties that is most acute arises from the need to show the entire 480 lines of active video and the fact that the only practical source at this time for cost effective product from that video is through the use of the previously mentioned progressive scan type chip sets such as the ITT Digit 2000. These particular chip sets have the defect or limitation that horizontal synchronization is not maintained during the vertical interval when the chip set is operated in the mode necessary for the vast majority of the applications to which the equipment is to be applied. In particular, the use of video discs as sources of video and the use of still frames precludes satisfactory operation of such chip sets in what is known as color-lock mode, without great difficulty and considerable extra circuitry. In the non-color lock mode, the output from the chip set causes a failure to synchronize during the equalization pulses of the vertical interval, which horizontal sync level pulses occur at double rates, half the width, and sometimes different polarity than during the rest of the video standard. This causes deviations of up to a couple of microseconds in the synch time output by the ITT chip set, and the synchronization method used in the overlay circuitry has to be able either to ignore this or recover from it very rapidly in order to be able to present an accurate unflagged overlay as with the first lines of video on the screen. Thus, the phase-lock loop requirements of this application are of somewhat greater stringency than most phase lock loops, being concerned with more than just matching frequency without phase drift between two sources-with the phase offset condition of lock being usually not required to be specified with great precision in typical phase lock loop applications. Such, however, is decidedly not the case with video overlay wherein the two horizontals must be quite close to each other for a reasonable presentation of the graphics; and if the graphics are being used to circle or point out or highlight items in the video, often fairly precise alignment is required, demanding a phase lock loop of great accuracy that has as close to zero tracking error as possible. If there are drifts in the components free running that would change the free running frequency of the oscillator, these would normally be associated with a shift in the position of the raster absent such a provision for zero tracking error. Furthermore, the dynamic requirements are fairly particular inasmuch as standard techniques used by video disc players for presenting still frames require the successive fields to be offset by 140 nanoseconds from the expected time to avoid phase discontinuities in the color sub-carrier. Instead, this introduces a phase discontinuity into the horizontal sync which most monitors will accommodate. If the phase lock loops are not designed with a knowledge of this difficulty, there will be a shaking or flagging of the still frame video at the top of the frame, as before described, and this in turn makes the existing problem mentioned before with the Digit 2000 type chip sets worse, because the elimination of that 140 nanosecond jitter depends on the amount of time the phase lock loop has to settle in on stable horizontal from the video source.
The present invention, accordingly, provides significant improvements that obviate these difficulties and limitations including, first, providing a phase lock loop filter which has built-in integration providing for zero tracking error; and secondly, splitting the phase filter into two separate components driven by two different error signals which are then summed after the result, allowing separate control to the integrating part or path and to the ordinary loop filter part or path.
This allows the achievement of several advantages that are not otherwise readily attainable. In particular, the zero-tracking integrator may be turned off (disconnected from the error signals) during the vertical interval when the aberrant gyrations are occurring. It is the long time constant part which takes the long time to settle and it is now allowed simply to freewheel during the interval in question. The 140 nanosecond offset which should be settled quickly is indeed a pure phase error; and by leaving the phase part of the loop operative, the 140 nanosecond at the top of the screen has been tracked and in effect locked in place by switching the integrator back in for the rest of the interval. This is also most useful if it is desired to have scan lines additional to the before-described 480 lines and wherein, during the additional lines, one can switch out both inputs to the loop in a discretionary manner to allow freewheeling through that period, also.
Still an additional advantage of the separation of the integrating zero-tracking function which can be thought of as a frequency lock loop, as distinct from the phase lock aspect, has to do with speed of acquisition. This is particularly important where the graphics product that is used with many applications will change its graphic mode requiring different numbers of horizontal dots in a scan line which still takes the same amount of time. That requires, however, that the phase lock loop change its oscillating frequency to provide the appropriate dot clock. When that change occurs, there is initially a quickly building phase error due to the difference in frequencies established on the divide module as the graphics generator is changed. The requirement for agility in reacquiring the correct frequency is not just to obtain lock, but to obtain stably and accurately aligned display. The major problem in terms of timing resides in the time it takes to get the frequency, the zero tracking point on the integrator, correct. The integrator time constant thus needs to be fairly long for loop stability reasons; and by separating it from the phase loop, in accordance with the invention, it becomes possible to slew the integrator with a full-on current in a circuit that has detected that there is substantial frequency or phase error.
Initially, let it be supposed that there is a loss of frequency lock. A conventional frequency measuring circuit within the apparatus determines the direction of the frequency error and slews the zero point, which basically is a free-running frequency control in the correct direction at the maximum possible speed. Partway through this process, the phase loop, which is still operative, will acquire a phase lock. If integration took place as a single loop filter in the more conventional way, there would really be nothing further that could be done. The frequencies are perfectly locked and there would be no knowledge of the requirement to slew based on frequency error, and no meaningful phase error information would be available so long as slew is on. Thus, without slew, the system merely sits for a very long time until the integrator settles back out, with the user seeing the overlay slide sideways over a period of time until it lines up again accurately. With the division of the two circuit paths underlying the invention, on the other hand, it is possible to continue to drive the integrator at maximum slew without upsetting the functioning of the phase detector by simply sensing the continued presence of phase error until the phase error reverses direction, and then shutting off the slew mode so as to continue a linear ramp which extinguishes all the error on the integrator very quickly and thus achieves a very fast settling.
An object of the present invention, accordingly, is to provide a new and improved integrating-phase lock method and circuit for maintaining the horizontal synchronizing of overlaid digital graphic and video image displays on cathode-ray-tube screens and the like that admirably obviates the prior art disadvantages above described.
A further object is to provide a novel separated integrating phase error zero tracking function and phase loop locking function phase lock circuit with switching control thereof and of more general applicability as well.
Other and additional objects will be explained hereinafter and have been described above, and will be more particularly delineated in the appended claims.
In summary, however, from one of its aspects in the context of the overlaid graphic and video display application, the invention includes a method of horizontal synchronizing of overlayed digital graphic image information and video image information in the same display area of a cathode-ray-tube monitor screen, that comprises: applying phase error voltage signals along a pair of independently operative paths, one integrating the phase error voltage to obtain zero tracking error and the other serving phase loop locking functions; summing the output of both paths for control of the clocking of the graphic image information; and controlling the separate operation of the paths in accordance with display signal aberrations, maintaining the phase lock loop operative in response to the phase error signals during the aberrations while disconnecting the integrating path from such phase error signals during the aberrant period. Preferred and best mode embodiments and details are hereinafter presented.
The invention will now be illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings,
FIG. 1 of which is a schematic circuit diagram of a preferred form operating in accordance with the technique or method of the invention;
FIG. 2 presents a series of waveform diagrams, A through C, and operational time blocks D and E illustrative of the timing and operation of the circuit of FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a diagram similar to FIG. 1 of a modification.
Referring to FIG. 1, the integrating filter network part or section of the phase lock control network is shown at e, comprising capacitor 1 paralelled by operational amplifier 3, and the separate phase lock loop PLL filter network section with its resistance-capacitance network 2 and operational amplifer 3' is shown at f, the two filter sections being connected to a summer 5 that in turn feeds the voltage-controlled oscillator VCO, and ultimately the digital graphics generator timing clock. The components 2 and the series resistor h of the PLL filter section f determine the time constant and gain for the fast phase response of the phase lock loop: whereas components 1 and series resistor g of the integrating filter section e determine the much longer integrating time constant for the zero tracking error.
The operations of these two sections are controlled by the later-described switches a-d, and the phase error is developed by a phase detector represented by the phase error voltage source 7 and in the appropriate polarity to take into account the sensitivity of the VCO and the inverting character of the filters used.
Turning now to FIG. 2, the typically available signal source is shown at FIG. 2-A in the form of the horizontal synchronization signal on or separated from the video source, being a reasonable approximation of what comes out of the ITT Digit 2000 series chips for their horizontal output phase. The sequence of two successive fields of video is illustrated with most of the stable scan lines omitted, as indicated by the break or dagger marks, and primarily the area around the vertical interval is expanded for better clarity. As is observable, during the first half of the vertical interval, the chips put out a large excursion and phase, up to a couple of microseconds in amplitude, primarily because they are confused by the widths and phases and polarities of equalization pulses. There is a recovery period during the second half of the vertical interval which is just completing to an acceptable state at the time active video begins in the time slot labelled "Active Video". The particular signal illustrated here in FIG. 2-A is one generated by still frame operation from a video disc player, as before described. In addition to this undesirable phase aberration or gyration, which does not represent a change in phase which it is desired to follow, there is the small phase step of 140 nanoseconds, illustrated and labelled towards the right of FIG. 2-A, which does represent a true shift in the phase of both the incoming horizontal and the video travelling with it and must be accommodated by similar shifts in the overlay digital and the operation of the monitor. The switches c and d of FIG. 1 have the time sequence of operation as illustrated in FIGS. 2-D and E, where the time intervals during closure of the respective switches are illustrated and will later be described.
In FIG. 2-B there is shown the desired output to be acheived in terms of the phase with which the graphics generator is operated and the phase with which the monitor is to be operated. As indicated, there is some very short period of time when no video of any kind is to be displayed, videographics or otherwise, prior to the commencement of active video, and this is labelled "don't care" region in which there is no precision requirement during that time. These are the areas of the inescapable region in time when the monitor must be doing vertical retrace and during which period of time there is no concern as to the phase of the output since it is impossible to be presenting video. During the rest of the time, however, a stable phase is required that represents either the correct phase for the even fields ("field n") or the correct phase for the odd fields ("field n+1"), depending upon which of the 140 nanosecond steps is involved. The same circuitry, of course, handles continuous motion at which the 140 nanosecond step is not present.
Returning now to FIG. 1 and the operation of the circuit by opening the switch e, as indicated on time line FIG. 2-E, during the entirety of the vertical interval, the long time constant represented by components g and e is not excited by the excursions which occur during the vertical interval, allowing the very quick response time of the components represented by h and f to settle quickly enough. By switching switch d as indicated in FIG. 2-D, for the beginning of active video, this tracks down the decaying curve of the phase error and acquires accurately the presence or absence of the 140 nanosecond shift by the time the active video starts. If switch d were operated in synchronism with switch c, however, that would not be the case and there would still be a flagging visible in the still frame with unacceptable flutter at the top of the screen. While switch d could be left closed all the time, the large excursions of the vertical interval could create some difficulties with the monitor settling response. Suitable time constant values for the integrating section e for the above purposes have been found to be of the order of 10 milliseconds; and for the phase lock loop network f, of the order of 10 microseconds.
As before explained, an additional advantage of separating the filter into two separate network sections is that fast acquisition after an abrupt change in desired frequency can be achieved by operating switches a or b, FIG. 1, depending on whether it is desired to speed up or slow down the frequency of the loop. The operational amp will deliver current i of section e at the maximum advisable rate determined both by current source capability and by problems with possible overshoot of the final frequency, but at a much higher rate than would normally be the case for passive settling.
The graphics generator is programmed to produce one graphics horizontal sync pulse for every "N" cycles of the graphics generator clock. Since the graphics horizontal frequency is to remain constant, matching that of the video, any change in the value of this "N" indicates an abrupt shift in desired operating frequency of the graphics generator clock. If the change is small enough, the loop will hold lock, but with a substantial intitial tracking error (i.e., phase offset of the horizontal sync pulses.) preceded by a brief initial frequency error. If the change is large (more than about 10%, in one embodiment), the loop will lose lock, accompanied by period of frequency error protracted until lock is re-established.
In the invention, the required frequency transition is detected by the appearance of either phase or frequency errors in excess of certain predetermined minimums. This triggers a cycle of operation known here as "slew mode". During slew, the appropriate current source is switched in as indicated by the initial direction of frequency error. The integrator then slews towards the point of zero tracking error. Since the phase error system (lower section f) is constantly active, if the loop is not initially locked, lock is spontaneously re-acquired before the zero tracking point is reached. The first subsequent reversal in direction of phase error then provides a reliable indication that the zero tracking point has just been reached on capacitor 1 of section e. At this time slew mode terminates, the current source or sink is disconnected, and the integrator returns to a proportional mode of operation. The invention with the split or separate integrating functions of section e for attaining zero tracking error and phase lock loop functions of section f thus also provides the advantage of the very fast slew to accurate overlay of the new frequency.
Referring to FIG. 3, during this slew it may be advantageous to provide a different set of loop components in the lower phase filter section f so as to acquire faster initial lock. In addition, there are other circumstances under which it may be desired to operate the whole system with different dynamic characteristics so that the circuit may be operating with one set of components when achieving fast lock, a second set of components during normal operation. During special conditions, moreover, such as maintaining synchronization during the turn-on of the disc player when the stability of the horizontal coming from the player is particularly poor, operation with yet another set of components may be desired.
Operation with a particularly fast settling time is desirable to set horizontal position just before the start of active video (i.e. while "d" is closed and "c" is open, FIG. 2). Another set of components giving slower response and better noise filtration may, however, be desired during the time of active video (same as internal with "c" closed).
FIG. 3 is intended to illustrate multiple, shown as two, possible sections (C3 -R5, C4 -R6, etc.) operated by switches S3 and S4. Additional dynamic choices may be required for different integrating times in the upper integrator section which is achieved by selecting a different resistor for the integrating time constant (R1 or R2, etc.) by switches S1 and S2. It should be noted that the choice of components topology here causes no aberrations during switching from one mode to another inasmuch as the voltage on the capacitor 1 (C1) remains the same for the integrator since the switching is of the resistors R1, R2 rather than the capacitor as in the PLL lower section f. The unused sections spontaneously discharge any residual to zero volts across the combination, such as C3 -R5 or C4 -R6, and this also represents the equilibrium operating point when the system is stable so that mode switching won't introduce a transient.
Further modifications will occur to those skilled in this art, and such are considered to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

"The Big Buddha" Lantau Island Tip by mamemo
Lantau Island, Hong Kong: 233 reviews and 606 photos
The signature of Lantau Island is the Big Buddha. You can trek up the 120 steps to come close and personal with the Big Buddha. It would be a rewarding trip for buddhists or non-buddhist to get to know the religion better, as there is a tour to the "inside" of the Buddha to see the scriptures and relics. We also spotted the altar of the famous Hong Kong Singer, Anita Mui.
After trekking, head down to the Po Lin Monastery at the foot of the hill for a simple yet delicious vegetarian meal. While you are there, visit the toilet to experience the no-frills toilet.
Address: Lantau Island
Directions: Take MTR to Tung Chung Station and take Bus number 23 to the foot of the hill.

Things You'll Need
Replacement water pump, Replacement coolant, Socket wrench and sockets, Torque wrench, Adjustable pliers, Hose clamp pliers, A new water pump gasket, Gasket scraper, RTV sealant, Acetone or Lacquer thinner
Step One
Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
Step Two
Drain the cooling system. Save the coolant if it is in good condition to reuse. If the engine coolant is old or is in poor condition, replace it with the appropriate coolant mixture. Coolant can be purchased in a premixed or concentrated liquid.
Step Three
It will be necessary to remove the cooling fan and shroud if mechanically or hydraulically driven. On electric cooling fans you will not have to remove them if space is adequate for the pump to be removed.
Step Four
Step Five
Next squeeze the tabs on the hose clamps and move the clamps back several inches on the hose away from the housing. (If the clamps are the screw strap type, loosen the screw/bolt and slide back on the hose in the same manner.) Twist and remove the hoses from the housing. If a hose is stuck, use a pair of adjustable pliers near the end and twist the hose to break the seal. If any of the hoses are deteriorated, cut them off and replace. On 5.2L/5.9L V8 engines, unbolt the coolant return tube from the top of the engine and pull it out of the water pump.
Step Six
Step Seven
Next remove all traces of the old gasket from the engine with a scraper and clean the bolt holes in the engine and the bolt treads to remove any corrosion and sealant. On six cylinder engines remove the heater hose fitting from the old pump and install it on the new pump using sealant on the treads. Clean the new water pump and the engine mating surfaces with acetone or lacquer thinner. Apply a thin coat of the RTV gasket sealant to the mating surface of the new pump then carefully mate the gasket and the pump. Next apply a thin layer of sealant to the engine side of the gasket and slip a couple of bolts through the pump mounting holds to hold the gasket in place.
Step Eight
Installation is basically the reverse. Attach the pump and gasket to the engine and finger tighten the bolts that were holding the gasket in place. Install the remaining bolts and any brackets taking care to reposition them. Torque the bolts to the recommended specifications. On the 5.2L and 5.9L engines, install a new O-ring on the on the coolant return tube and connect it to the water pump.
Step Nine
Step Ten
Auto repair can seem like an impossible task for the average car owner. However, replacing a car water pump is a relatively straight forward car repair that can be accomplished with minimal tools and experience.
Tips and Warnings
Special hose clamp pliers are available at most auto parts stores.
Always allow the engine to cool before removing the radiator cap, draining the coolant or replacing the water pump. Steam and hot engine coolant may be under pressure and their sudden release could result is serious burns.

Well as most of you know, I'm great friends with another VW/RC contributor, Becca. Her and I have been friends forever, but we actually haven't been having this kind of fun together until just recently. We've both known we were each very sexual, but for whatever reason, we just never got together. Well now that we have, you can bet we're going to keep having fun, in fact, this next weekend we're planning another great time. We'll be sure to take pics so that you can all enjoy it too!
