We went to Tuscaloosa on Saturday night for Chris' birthday. We had a whole lot of fun surprising him, and I think he had a whole lot of fun being surprised.
And yes, that's his robot that he bought in Birmingham from some guy who makes big, huge robots. I can't really explain to you how much this guy likes robots, LOVES them really, except to say that he has a robot tattooed on his arm. But he also has an otter. Because you can't be all robot, and you can't be all otter.
Happy birthday, Chris.

Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Nexus is coming soon and the latest inside scoop from third-party retailer Negri Electronics pin-points the exact date to December 9th. Previously, we've heard various other sources agree on an official release slated for December 8th or 9th.
"Based on the information we were given by OUR contact at #Verizon, we are set to have stock on 12/9. We will update here when we know more," US-based Negri Electronics tweeted.
The Verizon-branded Samsung Galaxy Nexus is now up for pre-order on the website of Negri Electronics for $678.50. The retailer also confirmed that Big Red will have the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich handset on December 8th.
The Galaxy Nexus comes with a huge 4.65-inch display with a resolution of the impressive 720x1280 pixels. It was greeted with mostly positive reviews by the tech community as it brings a needed polish and coherence to Android. The only slight drawback most reviews mention is the somewhat inconsistent camera performance. The handset features a 5-megapixel shooter on the back capable of recording 1080p videos.

Real Estate drama, part deux: Enough is enough
Leslie Sargent Eskildsen is an Orange County Realtor. She blogs about what she thinks homebuyers and sellers need to hear about, without -- as she puts it -- any sugar coating. You can check out her blog at What Agents Fear Telling You.
ARCHIVE [rssfeedme cat="lansner" feedpath="/tag/leslie-sargent-eskildsen/" max="4"] |
The cliff hanger we wrote about last week ended on the afternoon of a short sale transaction in south Orange County with the money from the (finally) funded loan going to the wrong title company on a home that had to close by Friday or be at risk of some very undesirable consequences. Caught up so far? Well, read on for some closure.
Wednesday late afternoon it was discovered by the loan rep that the funds were sent to the wrong title company because the lender didn't catch the fact that the title company had changed from the one indicated on the Preliminary Title Report to the one indicated one week later in the Escrow instructions. Oops. This easily could have started a shoot 'em, up, point the finger, rant and rave, gauntlet throwing, name calling attack between escrow and the lender.
But we're all adults here, right?
The main goal was to find the money and get it to the right title company in time to close and record the transfer of title to the buyers by Friday afternoon. The clock ticks at the same speed regardless of how little time you have. Thank goodness this Realtor has a stop watch.
So as the hours unfold toward the looming deadline, you can only imagine the number of phone calls, emails, escalated pleas to managers, senior managers, executives to find the money at the wrong title company, return the money to the lender, who then has to re-fund the money to the correct title company. Say that fast five times while you pat your head and rub your tummy and chew gum. I dare you!
Of course, all of this drama takes place against a backdrop ofnot only the ticking clock, but the limitations banks and title companies place on wires. See, these institutions have bothersome things called "cut off times" -- as in, not only don't you get the 24-hour day, or the fairly standard nine-hour business day, you only have until 2 p.m. on weekdays for the funds to be received!
With all of us involved with our nails chewed down to nubs, our ears buzzing from the incessant phone calls, and our carpal tunnel flaring up from all the emails, we get down to the wire. How'd it turn out?
The wrong title company found the funds Thursday at about 11:30 a.m. They wired the funds back to the lender, who didn't receive the wire until about 1:15 p.m. The lender promptly re-funded the loan, wiring the funds to the correct lender at about 1:17 p.m. Remember that 2 p.m. cut off? Well, the funds were in just under the gun; escrow set it up at the recorder's office; and the transfer of ownership confirmed recorded closed at 4:03 p.m.
"Amen" was heard from several people with an interest in getting this one done -- enough drama for now.

I loved waiting for the caboose, too, and was saddened when they discontinued using them. Now, though, I wave to the engineer as the train approaches, flash my car lights at him, and usually get a nice smiling wave in return. I lived within easy sight of a double-track line of the Lehigh Valley RR, and the cabooses were always that strong red and in good shape. Sometimes I'd see two trains going in opposite directions at the same time!
" I'm the train they call The City of New Orleans, I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done...." So miss the cabooses....I still wave as the last car goes by when I get stopped by a train on my way t work.
Ah, Dave...I do so miss cabooses. What fun is it now for kids to count those train cars? All too many now are homogeneous container cars (or tankers) with much less variety. (Yes, I do understand the rationale.) We loved it when the caboose approached: invariably, the men would lean out the windows or stand on the porch and wave to us children. Level crossings were never an annoyance to young children...the longer the train, the better. The anticipation of the approaching caboose was palpable! Riding down the rails to the sidings of times gone by.... ;-D
It was one heck of a ride and we made it in spite of the condition of the boose. Thank you for the ride Warbler and thank you for the Birthday wish.
Thanks ladies I thought it was pretty classic.
Cool looking caboose warbler.
Well, I hope at the end of the ride, you and PG look better than this boxcar does!
Happy Birthday, PG!

On the 12.06 from London Paddington to Penzance, the Pullman dining car is quieter than usual. It is early January, low season, and as the concrete overpasses and tall brick backs of the city's Georgian houses fall away, winter sun begins to stream through the windows.
Our table for two is set with silverware of a satisfying weight. Slanted rectangles of sunlight tremble across the tablecloth, glinting on the wine glasses. A waiter puts china plates bearing the Great Western Railway emblem in front of us. "Careful," he says, handling them with a tea-towelled hand. "They're piping hot."
Britain's dining cars have died a sad death. When they were first introduced on the East Coast line in 1879, their kitchens cooked over burning coals. From hot buttered kippers for morning commuters, to roast sirloin and salmon hollandaise on Christmas Day, the food ranged from the functional to the decadent. When British Rail wound down in 1997, there were still 250 dining cars. They were quickly deemed unprofitable and the last continual service ran on the 19.33 from London Kings Cross to Leeds in May 2011.
"There is something magical about eating a finely cooked meal on starched tablecloths as the countryside rolls by," muses Michael Williams, author of The Trains Now Departed. Today, that magic is only found on Great Western Railway. It offers a dining car on 12 services across two routes: London to Penzance and London to Swansea. Our carriage seats 17. It is often full, our waiter Kevin tells us, especially on a Thursday or Friday evening. "We have our regulars," he says. "A few of them have my personal mobile number. They'll call to make sure we have space for them." At Christmas, customers dressed up as Santa and did their best to drink the on-board cellar dry.
This midweek trip is a more serene experience, although gin and tonics are in-hand before we leave Paddington. We share the carriage with two solo diners and two other couples. Over the thrum of the train and the hum of conversation, cutlery clinks on china and the occasional muffled clatter escapes from the kitchen. Seeing the tiny stainless steel galley in which ex-army chef Neil Barnes cooks, I am amazed that he can turn out lunch for eight, let alone 17.
Front of house, the service is impeccable. Kevin and fellow server Maggie approach their roles with gusto as they bustle up and down the aisle. Disappearing into the kitchen, Maggie lets out a loud "Whoop!", having, presumably, narrowly avoided dropping the plates she was carrying.
The seductive formula on which the service is based is escapism and luxury. Travel offers the unique freedom of being suspended in a moment of anonymity. Between A and B, you are of no fixed identity. A leaf in the wind, a bird on the wing. You can be Cary Grant on the run in North By Northwest, masquerading as an electronics salesman. Or Eva Marie Saint, emboldened to tell Grant she tipped the steward $5 to sit him at her table. Or you can just sit back and, in equally Hitchcockian mode, ruminate on the backstories of your fellow travellers.
Add to this the silver service. Being waited on in this way has a gloriously infantilising effect. You are ensconced, safe in the knowledge that, just out of sight, everything is being well taken care of. Meanwhile, you have better things to look at. The rush of the countryside past the window is prime entertainment. This is the five-star version of eating supper in front of the telly as a child.
Somewhere around Slough, you pass through a wrinkle in the cosmos. The dining car is a time machine. The carved mahogany panelling and brocade armchairs of Pullman's heyday may have been replaced by plastic tables and leather seats. But when the norm is a sandwich and a cup of tepid tea from an on-board trolley, passengers quickly find themselves back in a boldly optimistic bygone era. GWR runs the service at a loss: it is intended primarily as a mark of quality, to set it apart from its competitors.
Despite the tiny kitchen, Barnes produces a faultless meal. Smoked salmon is thickly sliced and served with a dollop of crème fraîche, rye bread, and a watercress, caper and cornichon salad. Sirloin steak and monkfish are both served sizzling from a silver tray. Platters of roasted new potatoes, buttery leeks and caramelised carrots come next. A half bottle of Sancerre and another of Rioja sees everything off nicely, the final drops enjoyed with an apple crumble and West Country cheese. Open only to first class ticket holders, the experience doesn't come cheap. Our bill is £146.10.
Williams says he knows of only two other ways to get a decent on-board meal in the UK. Belmond, which runs trains to Venice and Istanbul (formerly the Orient Express), provides occasional domestic services. The food is top-notch. Heritage lines, such as the Bluebell and the Severn Valley Railway, do a good turn in catering too. They will lengthen the journey time to accommodate the meal. Recently, as he tucked into a particularly good lunch on-board the Great Central Railway from Loughborough to Leicester, Williams's train was brought to a standstill halfway across the Swithland viaduct. He finished off his meal enjoying undisturbed views of a 120-year-old reservoir.
The current crop of rail companies, believes Williams, are missing a trick. "They need to realise that rail travel is something that should be enjoyed, not endured," he says. "It can be better to travel than to arrive – and that's what eating on trains is all about."
As lunch is cleared, the winter evening begins its early descent. We start on the famously beautiful stretch of track that runs from Exminster to Newton Abbot. Here, the train runs so close to the water that it appears to float on its surface. We listen to the clack of the wheels as the low-slung amber sun dances for us on the waves of the slate grey sea. Williams is right: the five-hour journey isn't long enough by half.

The Turnip Eater
I'm assuming this is pre-Bonneville but I don't know for sure. I believe it's at Lions dragway and Leo is about to nail second gear. This was the first conventional motorcycle to break the 200MPH barrier (about 50mph faster than Rollie Free on his Vincent) - ultimately hitting 222mph on the salt and placing Leo Payne firmly in the history books. Some say a Sportser is a girl's bike? Ya, ok.

Been spending some time on Rosemary - found some bags and a windshield, made a new rear fender skirt that matches the front skirt Slojoe dug up for me. Found some old trumpet tips for the Buco dual exhaust. Sorted out a few hundred other small issues. Still some work to do but I'm starting to see the whole picture. Rode her into work Tuesday for our annual employee car show. Thanks for the pic Jim!

One Tree Hill i am not really into realistic programmes. i watched "hollyoaks" for a while and a love "prison break" thats it. i love programmes like "smallville" "lost" "buffy the vampire slayer" "angel" and even "sabrina the teenage witch"... however i watched One Tree Hill and it was amazing. the story lines are fantastic, i am only at season 4 myself, but if season 5 and 6 are as good as the rest, im sure i will stay hooked, they make you love a character then they kill them, or the leave, they make you fist wrenched and heart broken. total fanstastic :) x |
i just started watching one tree hill last season and i'm already hooked i think of all my favorite character is peyton.... this shows just keeps getting better and i love that after last season when lucas and peyton swore u and down that they didn't have feelings for each other the finally got together and their about to get married and their having a baby. also brooke is pretty cool i like the part in "Things a mamma don't know" when brooke faught her attacker it was so funny when she smacked her attacker with the gun... i think my favorite episodes from this season sop far was when jamie got kidnapped and then the very lats episode that aired i just think that this is a great show the should never be cancelled...... |

First published in English in 1965, The Reawakening is Primo Levi's bestselling sequel to his classic memoir of the Holocaust, Survival in Auschwitz. The inspiring story of Levi's liberation from the German death camp in January 1945 by the Red Army, it tells of his strange and eventful journey home to Italy by way of the Soviet Union, Hungary, and Romania. Levi's railway travels take him through bombed-out cities and transit camps, with keen insight he describes the former prisoners and Russian soldiers he encounters along the way. An extraordinary account of faith, hope, and undying courage, The Reawakening was praised by Irving Howe as a remarkable feat of literary craft.
Primo Levi was born on July 31, 1919 in Turin, Italy. He pursued a career in chemistry, and spent the early years World War II as a research chemist in Milan. Upon the German invasion of northern Italy, Levi, an Italian Jew, joined an anti-fascist group and was captured and sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. He was able to survive the camp, due in part to his value to the Nazis as a chemist. After the war ended, Levi did chemistry work in a Turin paint factory while beginning his writing career. His first book, If This Is a Man (title later was changed to Survival in Auschwitz) was published in 1947 and its sequel, The Truce (later retitled The Reawakening) came out in 1958. These two books recount Levi's story of surviving concentration camp life. Levi also published poetry, short stories, and novels, some under the pen name Damianos Malabaila. His 1985, largely autobiographical work, The Periodic Table, cemented his world fame. Awards in tribute to his writing included the Kenneth B. Smilen fiction award, presented by the Jewish Museum in New York. Ironically, despite his surviving Auschwitz, Primo Levi appears to have died by suicide, in Turin on April 11, 1987.

Our opinion: The state Assembly supports farmworkers' rights. But why won't the Senate? Are eight-hour days, other benefits and the right to unionize that unreasonable?
It's not just the hard, vital work of agriculture that has its unyielding cycles and predictable seasons. So, too, does the work of politics — not nearly as difficult and rarely as fruitful.
On New York's farms comes spring planting and hope of a harvest that's months away. But at the state Capitol, we fear, the Senate is headed into another season in which all hope of humane working conditions for the people who toil on New York's farms will wither on the vine.
Last week, as if on the cue of a celestial calendar, the state Assembly voted largely along party lines to give farmworkers what any worker in a civilized industrial society should enjoy. That is, an eight-hour workday, the right to collective bargaining, unemployment and disability benefits, and protection under the state sanitary code.
The seed was planted, in other words, for the Senate to do what it always does. Its work yields a meager harvest.
Farmworkers, you see, matter less there than the propaganda of the farm lobby.
Just listen to the state Farm Bureau, which calls the Assembly's support for such basic rights "a vote against New York's hard-working farm families and the farmworkers employed."
Listen, too, as it denounces seemingly everyone who would dare tell the Senate that its years of disregard for farmworkers is shameful.
"Keep in mind," says the Farm Bureau, "the advocacy groups behind this legislation include unions, college students and downstate members of the Legislature who do not understand … the realities of providing food for our tables."
Not a word there about the people who do the labor of delivering that food to New Yorkers' households. Never mind the farmworkers who dare to act as advocates for their own and support what amounts to an economic bill of rights — even if they tend not to be eligible to vote against the politicians who can hurt them or make campaign contributions to the ones who can help them.
A debate that should have been settled by now needs to give new consideration to the admonition of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver: These people are farmworkers, not farm animals.
Decent treatment of them won't imperil agriculture — a critical, multibillion-dollar a year industry in New York. What the Farm Bureau and other opponents of farmworkers' rights are so loath to acknowledge is that farming can continue to thrive even as it protects the very people who make that possible. A state Senate that's never been very bothered by the mistreatment of farmworkers should explain why California can do the right thing but New York can't.
Farmworkers' rights are one of the last things on the agenda for a Senate that's just a few weeks away from declaring that its work is done for the year. Not bad work — serving in a scandal-plagued Legislature for a minimum of $79,500 a year. To head off on summer break while leaving farmworkers subject to such exploitation would be an act of ignobility.

Next: ELF Linker Relocation, Up: Stab Sections [Contents][Index]
The assembler creates two custom sections, a section named .stab
which contains an array of fixed length structures, one struct per stab,
and a section named .stabstr
containing all the variable length
strings that are referenced by stabs in the .stab
section. The
byte order of the stabs binary data depends on the object file format.
For ELF, it matches the byte order of the ELF file itself, as determined
from the EI_DATA
field in the e_ident
member of the ELF
header. For SOM, it is always big-endian (is this true??? FIXME). For
COFF, it matches the byte order of the COFF headers. The meaning of the
fields is the same as for a.out (see Symbol Table Format), except
that the n_strx
field is relative to the strings for the current
compilation unit (which can be found using the synthetic N_UNDF stab
described below), rather than the entire string table.
The first stab in the .stab
section for each compilation unit is
synthetic, generated entirely by the assembler, with no corresponding
directive as input to the assembler. This stab contains
the following fields:
Offset in the .stabstr
section to the source filename.
Unused field, always zero.
This may eventually be used to hold overflows from the count in
the n_desc
Count of upcoming symbols, i.e., the number of remaining stabs for this source file.
Size of the string table fragment associated with this source file, in bytes.
The .stabstr
section always starts with a null byte (so that string
offsets of zero reference a null string), followed by random length strings,
each of which is null byte terminated.
The ELF section header for the .stab
section has its
member set to the section number of the .stabstr
section, and the .stabstr
section has its ELF section
header sh_type
member set to SHT_STRTAB
to mark it as a
string table. SOM and COFF have no way of linking the sections together
or marking them as string tables.
For COFF, the .stab
and .stabstr
sections may be simply
concatenated by the linker. GDB then uses the n_desc
fields to
figure out the extent of the original sections. Similarly, the
fields of the header symbols are added together in order
to get the actual position of the strings in a desired .stabstr
section. Although this design obviates any need for the linker to
relocate or otherwise manipulate .stab
and .stabstr
sections, it also requires some care to ensure that the offsets are
calculated correctly. For instance, if the linker were to pad in
between the .stabstr
sections before concatenating, then the
offsets to strings in the middle of the executable's .stabstr
section would be wrong.
The GNU linker is able to optimize stabs information by merging

Hi all I'm a noob here Bought a 2002 S3 last week. Previous cars: No hands! by stuart_tate41, on Flickr _DSC0807 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr Rex - 2 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr DSC_0059 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr So I've been a round a few cars in the last 3 years! I decided I wanted an 8L S3 after the focus (to get some cash back). Went looking and found this one FSH 75k was very happy! S3 2 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr s3 6 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr
So after 4 days of owner ship this happened! Great start to S3 ownership! Looks like a cheap part failed due to a siezed bush all sorted for now and replaced with all OEM parts.... Do people make upgraded bushes for these tie arms were they attach to the hub? On to the big list of things to do! First thing was to sort the headlights I knew this needed doing when I bought the car.... was planning on doing it the day the Tie arm broke Using a wet and dry i sanded the headlight back and used megs plastx and megs DA polish to bring it back up. I need to do this again when I have more time but i was more than happy for a 30 min job! Before: During: (OMG WHAT HAVE I DONE TO MY CAR!) After:
Thanks Dave! Just a couple more pictures had the car 2 weeks now few more things to sort out still. S3 1 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr s3 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr It's got an apline stereo which seems to work with the bose but I get a wine under acceleration any one got any ideas?
Yes trust you to pick that out! Not sure actually I know its probably pretty standard, its got a ghastly multifunction wheel that needs to go and Bose. Thanks can't go wrong with a black car Thanks Dave, do you honestly think it needs a bigger filter it's off my mates R32 engine thought it would be the same? Well the stupid wipers in the first pictures have made way for ordinary Bosch ones, I like the look of OEM aero wiper arms. I put them on the mk4 golf but I don't think I'm in a rush to do it to this
Glad I got my tie bar bushes replaced last week! They were beginning to creak so if I left it any longer I'm sure I would have been the same position. From what I understand the new bushes in the hub side are an updated oem part, it's now a solid bush. On the opposite side I've got them polybushed. Definitely an improvement and b no more creaking!
I like the Headlight transformation sweet :thumbsup: . I will be doing this on mine shortly . All the best with your progress pal.
I'm no expert, but it just looks small to me, the defacto standard on 1.8t's tends be a jetex (pic below) or OE Honda S2000 filter:
For the record, the old bmc CDA was terrible and i had an instant 10 G/S with a jetex over it, for what they cost it is not very good..
Yeah still local mate aint moved far! I live about 2 miles from the services but I've got a family meal out in Windsor that night I'm afraid!
In fact a saw you a few months ago at a tyre place in hazlemere I was in the focus I blew the horn at you!
So since last time the car had redevelop a cold starting fault. Had the car scanned by a mate and the throttle body re-aligned and seem to clear it up which was great! A few pics taken at a recent meet. Also had beep on lock and anti hijack locking enabled.
Best i got was 15.7 with a passenger. First time Id ever done it my first run had a reaction time of +5 seconds!! LOL
Ouch lol. I need to get to Pod or Shakey but really dont want to replace the clutch just yet. 6k launches all day will not be kind on the poor standard clutch
It was fun 4k launches were all i was doing didn;t have the balls to go any further..... it was a good laugh though even though I wasn't anygood!
Well I finally got round to clean the car properly. Had a crack with megs ultimate compound and my cheap DA. Managed to get a lot of scuffs and swirls out not all but a lot and I've removed the hologramming that was there before. Going to get a new DA and some point then go over it again. Also gave it a coat of poorboys black hole and then some Wax very happy with it Clean 1 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr Clean 2 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr Clean 3 by stuart_tate41, on Flickr
So since the last update, I've done had a new water pump and cam-belt fitted as I had an overheating problem. Luckily the garage did the water pump for free and charged me parts on the belt so I ended up paying £130 which was lovely! Also I have now done the n249 delete, got rid of all this junk! Also replaced the valve with a resistor and its all nicely tucked away under the heat shield for the coil pack wiring now. Then moved on to the alarm sending which has been beeping, and throwing up fault codes so I hacked it open and replaced the batteries using a guide on here. Al back together and working for £12 instead of the £109 Audi wanted for a new unit!! Finally got a new battery cover from TPS as it was missing when I bought the car! Got VCDS and have been playing around with it, changed the dash lights so just the needles are on when the ignition is on and the lights are off.
Very nice mate! ive got the same issues you had with cold start up. Quite rough. I know the car needs either new manifold or gasket so thought that might be the problem but, how do I realign the throttle body?

My YJ build/adventures Thread
So a lot of people on here are making build threads and Im jealous. So here is mine. Ill tell it with a story format. It was the end of February 2011. I found my jeep on craigslist outside of Milwaukee WI, the guy was asking 3500. The clutch was shot in it, and it ran rough. I offered him 2800 and he took it. It would be my first and probably only jeep. So naturally I went to autozone and bought a haynes manual instantly. I could not wait till the weekend.
-So I got a hold of my uncles f350 and a trailer drove down there and picked it up. In the middle of a snowstorm. (maybe this was a sign) http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg840...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg51/...pg&res=landing -Got it back to the garage and put it up on blocks where it would sit for the next month or so. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg221...pg&res=landing -Just some quick pictures to send to my buddies about whats on my new jeep. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg528...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg585...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg109...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg221...pg&res=landing -Started searching everything online about replacing a clutch on a YJ with the BA/10. booo! Was going to take it in to have it done professionally. Because Ive never done a clutch before. But 700 bucks for a clutch made me go hmmm how hard could it be? Took a bunch of pictures to make sure I didn't mess anything up. I was a little nervous. But it wasn't that bad. The worst parts were getting the transmission in and out (heavy and awkward), and removing the pilot bearing with grease and a socket.(worked great for a cheap technique) http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg338...pg&res=landing -metal filing on the transmission drain plug. Scared the **** outta me. Turns out its nothing major, more like typical. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg16/...pg&res=landing -While I was working on the clutch I checked out some more things with it. Found out I had 3.07 gears in it with 33's. boooo! So I pulled off the 33's sold them and hunted down a set of 31's. To make it a little easier on the drivetrain, and gas mileage aka my wallet. Replaced all fluids. Put on new pads and shoes. replaced u joints on driveshafts. Figured out how to take the top off. Fixed any rust spots I found on the body. Primed whatever part of the frame and axle I could get to. Installed an ignition tumbler to replace the push button start on there. new steering stabilizer. removed the second one. grease any fitting I could find. a lot of other little things. - 33's gone waiting for a decent set of 31's. Started to prime everything I could find. The best part about the BA/10 is that it was so oily from the blown rear main seal (that is now new) that it didn't need primer. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg98/...pg&res=landing Fixing rusty spots, and prime as much of the frame and axle as I could reach. I don't like rust, and at this point I was thinking if things didn't go well I could always sell it and wanted it to be in the best shape possible. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg442...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg571...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg10/...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg841...pg&res=landing -New pads and rotors. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg443...pg&res=landing -fixed the windshield wipers. (they didn't work) melted wires. So I ran new wires to a three way switch, off, low, high. Gotta love custom work http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg37/...pg&res=landing -got my 31's mounted and balanced. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg844...pg&res=landing -Next step was fixing the rough running issue. I went straight to the carb. It already had a MC2100 so I was pleased. It seemed to be running rich so once i had it apart I found a I believe it was a 48 and a 49 size jet in there. I know they were different. So I ordered in some #47s and a rebuild kit. rebuilt it. Set the float properly. (twice) Again a little nervous about the rebuild. But it wasn't that bad. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg444...pg&res=landing I'll never forget the feeling I had once i had her running good.(the first time) Its quite the feeling of accomplishment. -Now finally it was time to get out and have some fun. Ive had the itch for around a month now. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg696...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg37/...pg&res=landing Now comes the dark days of my YJ..... -I pulled the plugs before I even had it running and one of them looked like this. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg849...pg&res=landing -So I posted to the forum immediately. Was told it is probably no big deal so I put in new plugs and went with it. No dice. After 2 weeks I noticed it was idling a little off. So I pulled the plugs again. Lo and behold the same one was crusted up again. Ran a compression test, no good. one cylinder dead. and another with bad rings. Now it was the moment of truth. It is now the end of May 2011 and I need this Jeep in a month to pull a small trailer 2000 miles to Albuquerque where my new home will be. Do I rebuild it, ignore it and try to make the run on a injured engine, or do I sell it in hopes of getting another acceptable vehicle. My Dad strongly suggested that I do not try to half *** it and just rebuild it. So a rebuild it was..... |
Man I love build threads and love pics. So you got that going. But was that the only jeep around? Had some major issues and not the most desirable year model or trans and priced high. Now engine issues. A trip a little farther south and you could have gotten a no rust, fuel injected model with the better trans. Again not knocking, just pointing it out for future readers. Time wasted fixing and repairing is the same time you could have drove a little farther away and got a good one.
looking good .You know this is only the start of the yj adventure.:)
So the rebuild gave me some interesting options. I really liked the idea of the 4.0 head swap. Mainly because at the moment I didn't really know if it was my valves or rings that were shot and I was worried about what i would find in there. So I ordered my 4.0 head, with prefilled water jackets. (time constraint and I didn't want to mess with it)
The "rebuild", more of a freshening up because I did an engine in rebuild not the full blown take it to a machine shop and get it all trued up rebuild. Was not too nerve racking because my Dad and I rebuilt our Farmall H a few years ago, so I had my feet wet. But I was also like 14 at the time and I put the timing gears on backward. (luckly he caught it before all was said and done.) But lets not worry about that.. -The rebuild begins. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg190...pg&res=landing -At first glance not too bad... http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg829...pg&res=landing -Thats a good looking piston. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg836...pg&res=landing -THAT is NOT! http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg404...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg638...pg&res=landing -That would be cylinder #4. A little messed up. It gouged the cylinder wall a bit. But nothing a good honing couldn't fix. Turns out its been rebuilt at least once before. Judging by the dates on the bearings was at most 8 years ago. I was actually relieved that the piston was shot now I knew why my plug kept fouling. -The head looked to be in good shape. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg818...pg&res=landing -My "workbench" http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg7/s...pg&res=landing -The new 4.0 head and header installed and ready to rock. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg687...pg&res=landing -The 4.0 header caused a little misalignment with my tail pipe. Nothing a piece of 2.25" flex tube couldn't fix. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg52/...pg&res=landing I got her up and running again. I had a little issue with the intake manifold leaking badly around the bottom edges. This was caused by the 4.2 intake manifold hitting the 4.0 header on cylinders 2 and 4. It scared the **** out of me when I went to start it after the rebuild because the only way to get it to run was to rev it to more that 2000 RPMs or it would die. I finally figured out the issue and dented the **** out of the exhaust header on those cylinders to get the intake manifold to sit flat on there. Then it ran pretty good. A little carb tuning, and it was running so very smooth. My second big wave of accomplishment, and stress relief moment. -500 break-in miles later it was off on my 2000-2500 mile journey to Albuquerque. All packed up ready to go camp, and bike for 2 weeks straight. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg51/...pg&res=landing It ran great for about 1200 miles then I noticed a rough idle again. I thought **** *** **** *********. I was in Chamberlin SD when I noticed it. I literally felt sick. I got to a campground and pulled the plugs they all looked great. WHEW! The engine wasn't self destructing. Turns out I didn't dent my header enough to get the intake manifold to sit flat on the head. It was leaking around the bottom again. So I needed an intake/exhaust manifold. Only problem is it was Sunday and the NAPA store was closed. So I had to wait 2 more days to get my manifold. They were getting flooding and record rainfall totals for that summer and it rained almost the whole time I was there. This was just GREAT!!! Come Tuesday I grabbed my gasket and headed west to the badlands, where I knew it wouldn't be raining all the time. Time to do a minor repair. -Pulled off the intake manifold and exhaust header. (Good thing I brought all my tools) http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg252...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg33/...pg&res=landing -Finished project. Notice the abundance of the copper gasket sealant. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg837...pg&res=landing After a full day of sitting letting it all seal up I was on my way again. -Custer State Park in the Black Hills SD http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg194...pg&res=landing -Wind Cave National Park in the Black Hills SD http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg841...pg&res=landing And feeling better about the experience. Although my plan was to get to Yellowstone before heading south to Albuquerque. But the Jeep was having troubles pulling the trailer up the hills in the Black Hills so I knew the mountains were a no go. This disappointed me a little. But none the less I still made a trip out of it. -I made it. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg137...pg&res=landing Turns out my engine being torn up came from the HEI distributor on it. I've herd stories about the HEI's detonating engines to death, and mine was one of them. So I attempted to rip out the HEI with a little help from 4.7Stroker. We were unfortunately able to get it running with a TBI setup. So we put the HEI back on it with the understanding that I would pull it out at a later date. It is now a later date and the HEI still sits on the 4.2. I never took it off. I've been meaning to but it runs so dam good with it on there. I did however remove the vacuum advance on it and now I am only getting 33 degrees of advance at 3000 RPM vs. 45 or so with the vacuum advance on there. The negatives to this is less power, and slightly less MPG down the road. But it keeps my engine running smooth, and isn't detonating it to death then its a win win for me. So I intend on keeping it in there until the engine goes, mainly because I don't want to deal with it any more. But I don't think its hurting anything being on there. |
So I am now here in New Mexico. The very first time I took it off road I went to the Rio Puerco which is a nice little off road area west of Rio Rancho. Anyways I called my friend who has been living here for 2 years now. I told him where i was going and he told me not to get stuck. I told him I was going to take it easy. And I would be fine... Not even a half hour later I called him with the news that I was in fact stuck.. I've never driven in sand before and got teeter todder ish where my front drivers side and rear passenger side tires weren't touching. And with open carriers I was sunk... So he came out in is 2wd tacoma work truck to help me out. I know 2wd but he had a locker and said he would be fine. Anyways he got stuck 100 yards away trying to get out to me. So now here we are 2 of us buried. So 5 mins later a TJ comes by asks if we need help I have him pull me out, and I go pull my friend out. LOL. Funny story.
- This is me on my way to the top of Cabezon peak on nothing but dirt roads. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg703...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg804...pg&res=landing -While cruising down one of these back roads I run across an arroyo. Which is a dried up river bed that will flow with water in spring when the snow melts. I did not see this arroyo in time and there is like a 1' straight up section on half of the opposite side of it. I hit this going around 30 and this is the result. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg576...pg&res=landing -Just messing around in the desert. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg818...pg&res=landing -My Camping trip up in the Jemez Mountains. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg209...pg&res=landing -Broken shackle. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg833...pg&res=landing -Up on the forest roads. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg713...pg&res=landing -Camp site for the night. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg546...pg&res=landing -Up in the Manzanos one afternoon. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg69/...pg&res=landing -There are jeeps everywhere in Albuquerque. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg818...pg&res=landing -Typical "Jeep" in Albuquerque. People just lift them as much as possible without having them be off road worthy at all. For example this body lift. Yea I'd feel safe with that bad boy. And you can tell who takes theirs off road at all. Most just jack them up put big tires on them to feel cooler. It pisses me off. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg811...pg&res=landing |
My passion for my YJ has spread.
-Maertz my old roommate http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg600...pg&res=landing http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg560...pg&res=landing -Hes got a head start on me at the moment. But I will close that gap in the next year. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg843...pg&res=landing -Marshall my new roommate http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg856...pg&res=landing -New paint job on the CJ http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg40/...pg&res=landing |
I have some rather ambitious goals for my YJ from this point forward.
-I want to step up to 35's, and I want to do it right. I don't do things half assed. I have a Ford 9" for the rear and a detroit locker sitting in my living room for it. I want to maybe put some disc brakes on it and get some superior gears in a 4.88 or 5.13 ratio. I'm looking into the proper dana 44 with manual locking hubs for it. So I can just drop a spool in it and just use my hubs as the selectable locker. I will rebuild it to make sure its a solid axle to start with. Drop in the same superior gears and bolt it in. -My Ford 9" http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg837...pg&res=landing -I'm building a custom bumper for the rear on it, because the 33" that's on the tire carrier now is loosening up the tailgate hinge a little. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg94/...pg&res=landing Eventually I will come up with a matching custom front bumper. Probably most important I am needing some frame repair. The front drivers side frame where the steering box bolts to is in rough shape. As you could see from my broken shackle picture. This is needing attention because if this goes I'm boned. So I will either need to fab some reinforcement, or buy a pre made end and weld it on there. But my YJ story is just beginning and I will keep adding to this build post as things continue to materialize on it. PO modifications: -33" mud rovers -HEI -about 3.5 inches of lift. 1"bl 2.5 suspension -posi lock for dana 30 -MC2100 carb -some off brand off road lights -home brew fromt and rear bumpers -new brake lines -larger radiator -removal of all emissions componenets -push button start My current parts/mods list: -New LUK clutch -31" rugged terrains -15x8 procomp rock crawler wheels -all new fluids when first bought -new radio, amp, and sound system -MC2100 rebuild kit -MSD plug wires -ignition tumbler -fuel pump -fuel filter -front disks and calipers -rear shoes -rear brake rebuild -new posi lock for dana 30 -steering stabalizer -rear main seal -4.0L head -4.0 Header -engine overhaul kit (flatlanderracing.com) -entire underside painted flat black -ruff stuff shackle mounts and .5" shackles -removed carpet. Herculined entire interior floor. -Yakima bike rack on spare tire -valve cover gasket My future plans: -Ford 9" in rear with 4.88 gears, detroit locker, rebuilt internals, set up for SUA. -Dana 44 (HP?) in front matching 4.88 gears, spooled up, manual locking hubs to make spool work in front, rebuilt internals, also SUA -35" anything decent. Duratracks, MTR/Ks, KM2s, Grabbers, ect. -Frame repair on front drivers side. Its rusted and needs attention. So either one of those pre fab sections, or better yet some 1/4" reinforcement plate welded on it. -Custom front and rear bumpers. Custom tailored by me for me. Future future plans: -Crate motor, better trans, maybe a tera low 4:1, |
Looks like you're having a lot of fun with the YJ man! I know how the broken shackle thing goes. I broke my front right shackle on Steel Bender in Moab and got to drive all the way back to Salt Lake like that.
So Ive taken a little break from working on the YJ. But recently I've been taking my Fridays off of work to work on the YJ and since then things are getting done. My plan is to head to Moab next year in September 2013 with some buddies and hit some trails for a week or so. I need to do a thing or to to the YJ to get it in Moab shape. Hence the weekly projects. So I'll have more updates in the near future.
Playing a little up in the San Juan Mtns. in Colorado on my way out to Moab. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps54bc0e00.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psa463fa2f.jpg Heres my little problem that has been bugging me for quite some time now and will be the main part of what I've been working on lately http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...pseb489426.jpg Got myself some spare D30 parts. Only problem is I think I'm going to go with a TJ or XY shaft swap to get rid of the CAD system. But Still got these spares for now. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps19f97ad7.jpg Had a little un-finished wire business to take care of.... Before: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psf4a43c28.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps45370d91.jpg After: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps182a184f.jpg Getting ready for my ford 9" swap. Got these bad boys in the mail. Still have yet to get it all assembled. Hopefully in a few weeks the third member will be assembled and in a month or so (when I have a garage) I'll have the axle under the YJ. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psad14bd83.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5b3f51c.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psf9a101ab.jpg Test fitting the Detroit on the shafts. How sweet of a lamp would this make? http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps29283133.jpg Due for a new yoke http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps456d4401.jpg Disassembling the third member and cleaning it up. Got all the bearings removed just waiting to get it all assembled. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps87c656fc.jpg Got the brakes rebuilt. Still have to get the drums turned down. Should probably get that done sooner rather then later. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1388c83a.jpg At my "temporary shop" working on my CS-144 alternator. (More to some later) Before the materials were used: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0fee5340.jpg After the materials were used: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psedf042e7.jpg (Didnt want to buy angle iron. So I got creative) Don't give me too much grief for this picture. This is some of my welding work and some of the PO's work. The front left is in rough shape. Rusted through in multiple areas and real thin just about everywhere. My plan is to buy one of those frame sections cut it off and butt weld the new piece on there. Im not going to weld it its going to a professional for this. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psd23e9be4.jpg Also added a MORE steering box support to help with the stress on the weak point. Helps out A LOT. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psf8d5f46d.jpg Hitting some arroyos for some fun in the sun. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps19d83e8b.jpg |
Now comes the electrical undertaking. So I learned a thing or two about alternators here. There was a break in the styles with the 4.0. The 4.0 used a DENSO type alternator which works differently then the DELCO. I'm not sure what the difference is but I do know that the denso alternator does not work in the 4.2. Don't ask me how I know this.... Anyways after the alternator fiasco I decided to slow it down and research things a bit more before diving in. Seeing as how I'm an electrician I decided I would re-wire the charging system before swapping the alternators.
The start of the re-wire: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psa9d40830.jpg Getting the auxiliary relays wired up. Will have plenty of room for future expansion. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psbe7d5a63.jpg The relays wired up http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9de6f251.jpg Here is the new power pole to distribute the high power requirements to everything. I ran 4GA copper to the starter and alternator. Along with a 12 GA sending wire to the alternator to get a better charge out of it. Also replaced the fusible disconnect to the alternator with a re-settable circuit breaker. The re-wire had a lot of hidden costs even without me having to buy the wire. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psbca0cb3f.jpg Due to the amount of leaking this battery had I now have a new battery. 795 CCA baby! But it doesn't quite fit in the battery tray... Time to get creative. AGAIN! While I was in wire mode and had a spare relay or two I decided I would do the Headlight mod and run them with a full 12V on 12GA wire. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps63d57df9.jpg Gotta love the factory duct tape http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8cd4866d.jpg Mid re-wire portrait: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps294b8159.jpg The headlight relays http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9428026d.jpg Its a bird its a plane its a YJ on an incline?? Not the greatest pic but I am VERY happy with the results. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps738f5c6e.jpg Back to the "temporary shop" to put in my CS-144 DELCO alternator. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps649313f4.jpg Got it mounted. With new alternator and power steering belts to boot: http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psb2fd6cea.jpg The bracket actually turned out better than I thought. Impressed myself http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5e9240bc.jpg Wiring to the headlights http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps91086757.jpg My 4.0 head swap dilemma. Now I just need a bolt for that hole... http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps46882b99.jpg Wlaha! Problem solved http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4fabfd88.jpg AHHHH Finally! Some BOOMS for the back http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psba604dfc.jpg To replace these.... Notice the beautiful beads. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8d997002.jpg N besides they look WAYYY cooler http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2471d66e.jpg http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/...psdeb20a4a.jpg So thats it for now. But as promised I'll have plenty more to report back with. Next on the list is getting the third member assembled. Welding a temporary tire carrier on to the bumper. Moving the sound bar. New wiper motor. New wiring under the dash. And getting new wheels for my new 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern in the rear. WOOOHOOO!!!!! |

"Defensively, it would be a big uplift. He plays hard. He bounces off walls. He doesn't leave anything out there."
Jim Beattie
"Every time I talk to him, I leave uplifted. He's always so happy and friendly, you can't help leaving feeling good after talking to him."
Chuck Putbrese
"The script made me cry, ... Parts of it were so hard to read, yet other parts were uplifting."
Peri Gilpin
"Walking uplifts the spirit. Breathe out the poisons of tension, stress, and worry; breathe in the power of God. Send forth little silent prayers of goodwill toward those you meet. Walk with a sense of being a part of a vast universe. Consider the thousands of miles of earth beneath your feet; think of the limitless expanse of space above your head. Walk in awe, wonder, and humility. Walk at all times of day. In the early morning when the world is just waking up. Late at night under the stars. Along a busy city street at noontime."
Wilferd A. Peterson
"We look to the heavens for help and uplift, but it is to the earth we are chained; it is from the earth that we must find our sustenance; it is on the earth that we must find solutions to the problems that promise to destroy all life here."
William Orville Douglas
"Once the implicit aim of biography was to uplift now it is to unveil."
Mark Feeney
"Without music, life would be an error."
Friedrich Nietzsche

Sometimes "a girl's gotta do, what a girl's gotta do," but ladies, it is not wearing a sock in your hair. Every girl wants that perfect bun, and now there is an alternative to secretly wearing a tube sock in your mane. Bun Queen calls our version of the "sock bun" a hair donut. The donut is washable, comes in a variety of sizes and colors and will not unroll or tangle in your hair. We finally found the answer to the perfect bun minus the sock!

As a professional nail technician, you have learned the specialized skills of doing manicures and pedicures. Treatments are not only for the nails, but also for the hands and feet too. Liability insurance can protect you from clients who have allergic reactions from oils and creams, as well as slip and falls. It also may protect you if a client makes a claim and asks for financial reimbursement for injuries or loss of income they suffered as a result of your treatment.
Because skin is manipulated and is sometimes trimmed, there is a certain risk of spreading infection when tools are used on so many people. Water also plays a big part of your job, and slips and falls can also be a concern. Unfortunately, even the most safety-conscious nail technician can have incidents with clients.
What you do matters to the health and well-being of so many, why not give yourself the peace of mind you deserve and protect yourself with insurance? It's simple, low-cost, and instant!

Because that green bar looks pretty done-ish.

I read your excerpt yesterday and thought it was wonderful. It's one of the best ideas for any kind of story that I've read in a long time. (After I first read the title you used, I was curious which one you would choose. I was a little surprised it wasn't Eleanor, but I still like the choice. Go Bull Moose Party!) And it seems appropriate for the Democrats to finally start re-animating some dead, since the Republicans have been doing it to guys (think Strom Thurmond) for years.
So, great job and good luck with the rest. It looks like you're right on schedule.

Last week we made one last trip to the local strawberry-picking farm. I went once when my Mom was here visiting, but my 6-year old missed it and she didn't let me forget that she wanted a chance to pick strawberries too.
The strawberries were about on their last leg out there. Very ripe and I knew they weren't going to last in the fridge for more than 24 hours.
That is where this cake came to the rescue. I needed something quick to take to someone and this was the perfect thing. Super simple to mix together the cake, the strawberries are dotted on top and it bakes up like a charm.
My daughter and I had to sneak a little slice and boy was it delicious. Just like strawberry shortcake, but actually way better and in cake form. I whipped up some strawberry whipped cream to top it.
My hubby ate the leftovers for breakfast the next day and loved it.
Here is the recipe for Strawberry Cake from Martha Stewart

Ex-client sues lawyer Chad Hemmat over "toothless cooties" case
The law firm of Anderson, Hemmat & Levine doesn't keep its light under a bushel. Commercials and billboards across the Front Range boast of how hard the personal-injury firm fights for its clients. The AHL website proclaims that "Justice for Victims Begins Here."
But a disgruntled former client is seeking another form of justice in a Denver courtroom this week, claiming that AHL is a "settlement mill" that pressured her to settle her auto-accident case for a fraction of what it was worth -- and that attorney Chad Hemmat referred to her and her husband as "toothless cooties."
The trial now under way in Judge Edward Bronfin's court exposes some of the grim economic realities of the personal-injury business, in which attorneys operating on a contingency basis -- usually a third or more of any settlement reached -- lure clients by touting their commitment to individual service and a track record of hefty cash verdicts. In practice, though, roughly 2 percent of such cases ever go to trial, and most clients have little contact with the attorneys who are negotiating their settlements with insurance companies.
The plaintiff, Daniell Goff, hired Hemmat's firm after she and her husband were injured in an auto accident in 2008. AHL filed a lawsuit against the other motorist, and Goff settled her claim in 2009 for a total of $92,000 -- including $12,000 set aside for shoulder surgery. But after expenses and attorney fees, she ended up recovering only about $20,000; the law firm's contingency fee amounted to $26,666.

In court filings Goff's attorney, Patric LeHouillier, contends that her case was potentially worth millions; that the firm hurried the settlement without considering their client's long-term medical needs; that AHL failed to uncover a million-dollar umbrella policy held by the driver's father, also an attorney, who'd been dismissed from the case; that AHL has tried only 19 lawsuits in the past ten years while settling 99.7 percent of its cases, including a whopping 678 cases closed in 2009 alone; and that the average case involves merely ten hours of attorney time. "Ms. Goff was never informed that the firm's business model involved a high volume of cases with little attorney participation," he writes.
Hemmat and his attorneys dispute many of LeHouillier's claims; for example, Hemmat testified yesterday that the 678 cases "closed" in 2009 represent many "open" files stretching back to 2003 and isn't a reflection of actual annual volume. They insist it was Goff's decision to settle the case and that she now has "buyer's remorse." They also suggest that her ongoing shoulder problems are the result of "repetitive over use resulting from years of manual labor" -- she and her husband used to rehab houses for real estate firms -- rather than the car accident, and that she was fortunate to get the settlement she did, given the ambiguity of her injuries and other issues with the case.
"There was no negligence, no malpractice, no fraud," Hemmat attorney Cecelia Fleischner told the jury.
Fleischner indicated that the mediator who presided over the Goff settlement negotiations would testify that the couple wasn't pressured to settle their case. But the jury will also have to decide how much weight to give a series of e-mails between Hemmat and an associate, Ethan McQuinn, on the day of the settlement conference. Hemmat hadn't even met the Goffs in person, yet that morning when he fired off a message to McQuinn about the case: "I don't think it's going to settle. But, my clients, I understand, are toothless koodies [sic] so not sure how much an Arapahoe jury of Marilyn McQuinns [Ethan's mother] will want to give them. Defendant, recall, is a robot."
McQuinn echoed the phrase in a response: "I don't have enough trial experience to know if her explanation that all money went to Vernon [Goff] would sell. They are toothless cooties though so I'm not hopeful."
Hemmat's attorneys filed a motion to try to keep the e-mails from being disclosed to the jury, insisting that they weren't relevant and would become "a sideshow that takes over the circus." The cootie references were simply "shorthand, sarcastic comments" reflecting a concern over how the defense might portray the Goffs if the case went to trial. But Judge Bronfin ruled that they could be presented, and LeHouillier brought them up in his opening remarks.
Fleischner explained that Hemmat was merely doing his job: "It's a lawyer's job to assess how someone is going to appear to a jury."
Other e-mails from McQuinn expressed puzzlement that the mediation was happening "so early" in the process -- but also relief that the case had settled before the defense obtained an independent medical examiner's report that could have taken the additional $12,000 for surgery costs out of the package.
LeHouiller has argued that the e-mails "evince an attitude of betrayal. The lawyers did not care what their clients wanted or needed but were simply out to make a quick buck on the backs of 'toothless kooties.'"
The verdict? Stay tuned. In the meantime, the AHL website continues to promise prospective clients that "your case, big or small, WILL be treated with professionalism, and you WILL ALWAYS be treated with respect."

Nice image. This weekend we stayed in a hotel in Houston near the canine police academy and we saw the obstacle course the dogs train on. No bunnies, but lots of wary squirrels.
