Topic: Alexander III
This article was written by Paul Gilbert, Founder of Royal Russia © 2016
On 18th May, International Museum Day, a unique collection of personal belongings of Emperor Alexander III were put on display at the Vologda State Historical-Architectural and Art Museum-Reserve. The items come from the vast collection of Hermann Alexander Beyeler, a Swiss entrepreneur and collector, who claims to be a direct descendant of the Tsar Peacemaker. Beyeler claims that the items have been in his family for two generations.
The items from the Beyeler Collection, currently on loan to the Vologda Museum include a portrait of Emperor Alexander III by the Russian artist Nikolay Gustavovich Shilder (the original painting is now in the Military History Museum of Artillery in St. Petersburg), a porcelain plate bearing the monogram of the emperor, his 1883 coronation glass, and his death mask. Of particular interest is an album containing 15 photographs of the Borki train disaster on 29 October (O.S. 17 October) 1888.
Beyeler transferred the historic items to the museum for free use for a period of 20 years, noting that at the expiration of the term that they would most likely remain part of the museum's permanent collection.
Beyeler claims to be a direct descendant of the Tsar Peacemaker, that his maternal great-grandmother, a Polish noblewoman, had at one time had an affair with Emperor Alexander III, and that she bore an illegitimate son - Beyeler's grandfather.
"They say my grandfather was the illegitimate son of Alexander III" - said Beyeler - "the Emperor was living at Spala, his hunting lodge in Poland. We have an old photograph, which shows my grandfather sitting on the Emperors' knee. I was told that my grandfather sang very well, and that Alexander III often asked him to sing something."
After the October Revolution of 1917, Beyelers grandfather escaped Russia, fearing for the lives of his wife and two daughters. They arrived in Paris, where Beyeler's mother Helena Lisicki was born in 1925. After the occupation of Paris in 1943, she was deported to a concentration camp in Poland, however, she managed to escape to Switzerland, where she met her future husband and married him.
Helena Lisicki had four children. According to Beyeler, it was not until shortly before her death that she divulged to them that "our grandfather was the illegitimate son of Russian Tsar Alexander III". Beyeler, insists that his middle name Alexander, was given him in memory of his imperial ancestor.
When asked about the DNA test to prove his descent from the Russian Imperial family, Beyeler conveniently adds that he "does not want to talk, the results were clear," he says, believing the results confirm his Romanov connection. His reluctance to make public the results of any DNA tests, merely leads to speculation about his claim.

Find descriptions of Esquimalt's parks below. Download the Esquimalt Parks Map to find park locations.
Visit other sections of the website to find descriptions of Esquimalt's:
1. Anderson Park
Anderson Park consists of .4 ha. of open sloping field and a children's playground area with a picnic table and benches. For teens, there's a small skateboard practice area. The park is found on the corner of Colville Road and Carrie Street.
2. Captain Jacobson Park
Captain Jacobson Park is next door to the historic Captain's House. It is said that Captain Victor Jacobson used to tie up his boat where the .2 hectare park is today.
A flat path leads to views of the West Bay Marina and benches to rest awhile. There are two benches for park visitors to enjoy the view of West Bay and the marina.
The park was established in 1972, and received its present name in 1998. The park is found on Head Street, south of Esquimalt Road.
3. Colville Park
Colville Park is a small park with a big impact. On its .03 hectares you'll find mature landscaping, a large Dogwood with a beautiful display in the late spring, and other trees and shrubs that provide shady respite from summer sun. The park is found on the corner of Colville and Admirals roads.
4. Esquimalt Gorge Park
Esquimalt Gorge Park was first established as BC Electric Gorge Park in 1905, but as far back as the 1860s local settlers used this 11.65 hectare area for recreation.
In 1907, BC Electric officially opened Japanese Tea Gardens there, along with an amusement park and floating sampan tearoom. Sadly, the gardens were destroyed by anti-Japanese fervor in 1941.
The park's popularity went into a decline until the 1950s when it was given to the Township of Esquimalt. It was upgraded through the generosity of the Kinsmen Club, after whom the park was named until 2006.
The gently rolling landscape of the park includes horticultural and forested areas. There are perennial borders, a rose garden, and many fine heritage trees, including a few hundred-year old umbrella pines. Benches are found along the waterway path, and picnic tables are scattered throughout the lawn areas.
Gorge Creek was restored in 2005 and is now home to native plants and wildfowl unique to the region.
Esquimalt's Gorge Park is also home to the Gorge Waterway Nature House. The Gorge Waterway Nature House came to be through a partnership between local NGOs including World Fisheries Trust, the Township of Esquimalt and sponsorship by the Victoria Foundation. The Nature House, which opened on Ocean's day (June 8) in 2008, provides students and visitors with a hands-on opportunity to explore the ecology of our area (specifically the area around the Gorge Waterway).
The park is found on Tillicum Road just south of the Gorge Waterway. You can also enter on foot from Sioux Place, off Craigflower Road.
5. Highrock Park
Highrock Park is the highest point of land in Esquimalt. At 71 metres in elevation, it offers 360 degree views of the Capital Region, downtown Victoria, the Sooke Hills and the Olympic Mountains.
This 7.1 hectare park features glaciated knolls, and native plants such as sword ferns, blue camas and dotted among stands of Gary oaks, arbutus and Douglas fir. Nature appreciation, bird watching, hiking and dog walking are the popular activities in this park.
Highrock has also been called Cairn Park, referring to a cairn built on the summit to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of the incorporation of the Township of Esquimalt.
Foot paths from surrounding neighbourhoods lead to the park. You can enter from Cairn Road off Old Esquimalt Road, Highrock Place off Rockheights Avenue, or from Matheson Avenue off Rockheights Avenue.
6. Hither Green
Small green space, located on Bewdley Avenue off Lampson Street.
7. Lugrin Place
Another small neighbourhood park, it too contains a small children's playground. It is located on Lugrin Place off Lockley Street.
8. Fleming Beach
Fleming Beach forms one of entrances to Buxton Green and Macaulay Point. The .9 hectare site includes mature trees, shrubs and perennials at the entrance, and a small sandy beach. Rock faces and cliffs are a prominent feature of the park, well used by rock climbers from throughout the Capital Region.
Fleming Beach is also home to the Esquimalt Anglers Association which developed the boat ramp, club house and boat launch there.
The park is found on Munro Street, off Fraser or Lampson streets.
9. Buxton Green
Buxton Green is built over the first salt water swimming pool in the Capital Region. This 1 hectare green includes a 650 foot walkway adjacent to Fleming Beach that rises up to a lookout point and along a breakwater.
To enjoy the views and the passing marine traffic, there are picnic tables and benches on the green.
10. Macaulay Point
Macaulay Point began as a Hudson Bay farm, then later became part of Fort Macaulay. It has been managed as a municipal park since 1985.
This 7.6 hectare park is popular with birdwatchers, hikers and dog walkers. Native vegetation is mixed with grasses, plantain, and common cat's ear. A remarkable array of plants has adapted, including roses, lupins, gumweed, wild onions and biscuit roots. At the eastern limit of the park boundary, a small grove of trembling aspens grows.
A number of trails and access points lead to views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, as well as former military ramparts. Bunkers, lookouts and defensive berms give the park an historic look.
The park is home to rare and endangered plant species protected under Canada's Species At Risk Act. Visitors and their dogs are required to stay on designated paths to help protect this fragile area.
Macaulay Point can be accessed from Fleming Beach, as well as from Clifton Terrace off Munro Street.
Download the Macaulay Point Natural Areas Management Plan.
11. Memorial Park
Memorial Park was established in 1924 to commemorate Canadian soldiers killed in World War 1. An oak seedling from the Royal Forests in England was planted here in 1937 as one of several "Coronation Oaks" in the region. It is still thriving today. On either side of the cenotaph are two WWI trophy field guns.
In 1995, the .9 hectare park was designated a Heritage Site. Its heritage is noted in the original trees, the cenotaph and guns, and the rock and mortar gate posts along Esquimalt Road.
Remembrance Day ceremonies are held at the cenotaph each year.
Heritage and horticulture live side by side here. Several fine Horse Chestnut and pollarded London Plane trees give the park its distinct character. Shrubs and annual beds surround the front lawn area, and two rose beds flank the 'Legion Way' walk to the cenotaph.
There are several benches and picnic tables in both sun and shade, and a small children's playground.
The park is found on Esquimalt Road across from the Municipal Hall.
12. Paradise Park
This small park, located on Paradise Street between Lyall and Head streets, contains a children's playground.
13. Propeller Park
This .02 hectare park is formally known as the Shipbuilding and Repair Memorial Commemorative Park. Created in 1999, it features a large World War 2 vintage ship propeller. The propeller was erected to commemorate 100 years of shipbuilding and repair in Esquimalt from 1893 to 1994.
Today a variety of interesting trees, including Lawson cypress, beautifies a previously stark industrial site.
The park is found on the corner of Canteen and Esquimalt roads.
14. Saxe Point
Saxe Point was designated as park land in 1934. During World War 2, many trees on this 7.5 hectare site were cleared and a searchlight was installed as part of the DND's shoreline defense.
The park provides spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and Strait of Juan de Fuca. Fine perennial and shrub borders and a large open lawn area overlook the water. Forested trails and beach accesses are set among mature Douglas fir and Grand fir.
Walk the trails, explore the beaches, or enjoy the views from one of the many benches or picnic tables.
Saxe Point is found at the end of Fraser Street, with foot paths off of Munro and Bewdley streets.
15. Town Square
Esquimalt's Town Square was created with the assistance of several levels of government, as a Joint Millennium Project and officially opened on July 1, 2000.
Modest landscaping borders the .4 hectare square which contains a small grass area and children's playground.
Town Square is found behind the Municipal Hall, off Carlisle Street between Fraser Street and Park Place.

How to fix picture nose scar
Options to Fix Nose Scar?
Doctor Answers 2
Fixing a nose scar
Scar excision and/or hyfrecation treatment may improve the scar on your nose and nostril. These scars will improve with excision and layered closure.
Web reference: http://surgery90210.com/cosmetic-dermatology/38/scar-revision.aspx
Simple nasal scar improvement with scar revision
That small scar on your nose appears to be capable of being improved through simple scar revision. A ellipitical incision done under local anesthesia should help narrow the scar. Do not think of the scar being fixed which suggests that you are thinking it can be removed or erased. There is no magical scar eraser. Think of scar revision as improvement with narrowing or a diminished appearance to the scar.

Searching – Pull String 70s RUFUS TALKING LION and I'll Be Yours for Life
We still have a mailing list of people looking for Rufus.
Rufus was given to me buy my great grandfather in 1972. He already knew he was going to die, at the time he was a gift to me. I never knew my grandfather because he died in the war when my father was only 4 years old. Grandpa Walch was special to me because we shared the same last name and he was the only living person in our family with the last name Walch.
The Rufus I had talked and what I remember the most was I LOVE YOU. I remember pulling that string over and over just to hear that each night when I went to bed. Both of my parents were abusive and he was the only thing I remember telling me that he loved me everyday. I recently found a picture of him both new and used. When I saw the picture of him loved I broke down and cried. I am 47 years old and the sight of him made me miss him all the more. I have looked for him over the years and could not find a trace of him anyplace.
I am not the only person out here this old looking for that Special Lion. It seems he was a well loved favorite by many children. I don't care if he talks or not I would just like to have him once again to hold. Talking would be a dream come true but I know those chances are slim.
If you can help Jennifer find this 70′s RUFUS Pull String TALKING LION , THIS SITE IS NO LONGER ACTIVELY MANAGED. Please use Our FREE FACEBOOK GROUP, including the POST CODE #25036

Dolphins OT Jonathan Martin: Patriots 'will probably do some damage in the playoffs'
|12.30.12 at 11:53 pm ET
FOXBORO — For some of the Dolphins players, it's getting a little old watching the Patriots dance their way into the playoffs each year, while they sit on the outside looking in.
The Patriots earned the No. 2 overall seed in the AFC with a 28-0 drubbing of the Dolphins in Foxboro on Sunday and a Texans loss to the Colts, which means a first-round bye is upcoming. The next time the Patriots take the field, they will play host to either the Texans, Ravens or Colts on the weekend of Jan. 12-13.
The Dolphins head back to South Florida empty-handed, with a 7-9 overall record and a shutout in the final regular-season game of 2012.
Wide receiver Brian Hartline, when asked how badly he wants a winning record, seemed to sum up the season after Sunday's beating perfectly.
'Winning record? I want to be in the playoffs. I don't care what it takes,' he said.
For the Patriots, the road to the Super Bowl becomes a little less busy with a free Wild Card weekend. With the additional week to prepare for one of three teams, they can take time to heal injuries and get some rest.
Rookie Dolphins tackle Jonathan Martin said he wouldn't be surprised to see the Patriots make some headway into the playoffs.
'You know, they are a good team,' he said. 'That's the reason they got a first-round bye and will probably do some damage in the playoffs. '¦ They are a talented unit and they were just doing a good job of making plays [today].'
Cornerback Dimitri Patterson filled in today for an injured Nolan Carroll in the Dolphins defensive backfield. He said that, as far as game planning is concerned, the Patriots aren't going to roll out anything tricky. They will stick to what they know and try to beat teams through the air and on the ground.
'They are not going to make mistakes,' Patterson said. 'They are going to try and run the ball and throw high percentage passes. They control the passing game and that was nothing we hadn't seen coming in. They are all about execution. They don't do anything different.'
Dolphins coach Joe Philbin reiterated Patterson's point on mistakes, or lack thereof, from the Patriots offense, and recognized that going into the playoffs, the team that makes the fewest mistakes has the best shot of winning.
Coming off back-to-back multi-interception weeks, Tom Brady didn't turn the ball over once against the Dolphins.
'You know, when you play a team like New England that doesn't make a lot of mistakes, you can't give the ball away a couple times,' Philbin said.
Come Saturday, if the Texans defeat the Bengals, then the Patriots will know their opponent for the AFC divisional round. If the Bengals win, the Patriots will host the winner of the Ravens-Colts game on Sunday.

ASUS has taken efforts to list out the military standards that each of its TUF Components meet. This distills into a pretty certificate bearing the TUF stamp of approval!
With the TUF Thermal Armour on, the SABERTOOTH P67 wears a clean and delineated outlook.
Fit and finish is exemplary – the TUF Thermal Armour feels very much like part of the design, rather than an afterthought it could so easily have been.
You find everything on the SABERTOOTH P67 subscribing to a black-brown-green-grey theme. ASUS is dead serious about the continuity of design on this mainboard. Hell, they even made sure the CMOS-reset jumper matches up to the colour scheme!

Denmark denounces kosher slaughter as animal cruelty. Yet the Scandinavian nation allows mink farming for fur./Getty images
Ritual slaughter, performed according to Islamic and Jewish tradition, is considered a humane method of slaughter under the Humane Methods of Livestock Slaughter Act (HMSLA), the United States federal law designed to decrease animal suffering. In ritual slaughter, the trachea, esophagus, carotid arteries, jugular veins and vagus nerve is cut with a swift action using an extremely sharp blade, resulting in quick death.
But a growing number of countries, including Poland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, have restricted ritual slaughter, under the guise of animal welfare.
Now, starting Monday, by order of Agriculture and Food Minster Dan Jorgensen, Denmark bans ritual slaughter, claiming, "Animal rights come before religion."
The ban would require stunning, a method of slaughter not permitted under kosher shechita and Islamic hallal restrictions (some authorities permit reversible stunning, such as electro-stunning, prior to the cut).
Claiming animal welfare as a basis to restrict humane Jewish and Islamic slaughtering practices is wrong, and is a further erosion of religious liberties in a country already attacking other religious rituals, including circumcision.
Denmark allows traditional hunting. With hunting, animals are shot at a distance, and can end up wounded, and suffering, for hours before death. Hunting is certainly more painful than religious slaughter, where the carotid arteries and jugular veins are quickly severed with a sharp knife, rendering the animal almost immediately unconscious.
The hypocrisy is even more glaring given that Denmark is the No. 1 farmed mink producer in the European Union, with around 14 million mink killed for fur every year. In addition to the unnatural, painful, and agonizing confinement of these wild animals, methods of killing them are far crueler than a slit to the throat. They include "breaking the animal's neck, gassing, lethal injection, genital electrocution and anal electrocution."
Minister Jorgensen claims that slaughter "must be done in a way that does not bring pain to the animal. This can be accomplished only by stunning."
Contrary to Jorgensen's sweeping assertions, there is nothing cruel about the age-old practice of killing animals by a swift cut to the throat. Neurophysiological research also disputes Jorgensen's claims. For example, a study in the Veterinary Record concluded that ritual slaughter "is a painless and humane method of animal slaughter." Stunning is not foolproof either. When the machinery fails, the animals suffer.
The Torah and Qur'an's both require that animals be treated compassionately and humanely prior to and during slaughter. By claiming that animal rights conflict with religion, Jorgensen demonstrates an anti-religious bias and complete misunderstanding of Abrahamic religions.
Ritual slaughter is not cruel. Abrahamic traditions have prohibited animal cruelty thousands of years before modern civilization even started passing laws on humane animal treatment.
If Denmark is really concerned about animal welfare they should be focusing on humane husbandry practices that prevent animal suffering in cattle and fur farms, not on targeting a humane ritual slaughtering method.

As we were leaving Szentendre in the morning, I noticed quite a few locals carrying lovely market baskets over their arms, all headed in the same direction. One early bird was already on his way home, green onions and brightly colored blooms hanging over the edge of his basket. Somehow, I can't quite picture any North American man I know being caught dead walking in public with a gingham-lined market basket full of flowers!

The answer to the above question is no. This is something I have been writing about on and off for a long time. I have shared this in the talks I give and have explained the differences to many people these past 9 years.
Lately I have received more and more questions on what fruits and veggies must be organic so I am going to share this helpful guide again with you. Print it out if you like and take it with you when you go shopping so that you don't forget.
As mentioned by the Environmental Working Group, The Shopper's Guide to Pesticides is a key resource for consumers aiming for healthier diets. Since many shoppers can't find or afford organic produce, they can use the Shopper's Guide to avoid those conventional fruits and vegetables found to be highest in pesticides.
If you want to read a great article on why you should choose Organic then click here.
If you want to know what the number on your fruit and veggies mean then click here. These are the numbers that are on every single produce item and they can help you stay informed about what produce is Organic, genetically modified and so on. Click here to review this insightful resource.

02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Ok, this is my first real post here guys and gals but I am asking for the advice of the collective...
I have an '02 GC Limited 4.7L 'N' (non HO as I understand) with a blown engine. I left it in 4WD Low and my wife took it to work...well actually about 3/4 mile down the road at 40mph until parts began shooting through the oil pan and it seized up on her!
So I could drop $2500 for a Used motor and have it installed with no clue as to it's history or pay $2500 for a warrantied rebuilt motor and I do the install. I am doing the latter as the rest of the Jeep is in great shape for 130k miles and paid for.
I figure that if I am gonna have it tore down this far I wanna see if I can add some more power to it. The stock 235HP just never felt like enough to me. Personal taste but hey, why not?
I do not want to wrap thousands of dollars up here or I'd just get a new Jeep altogether. I am thinking an after-market air intake system and possibly pulley system if it's been tried and proven effective. Yes, it's been years since I've pulled a motor but I'll save the $900 labor and do this one so bare with me plz if my lack of experience is too obvious.
I think that's about it. Thanks in advance for any advice!!
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Welcome to the forum, Adam. I too have a '02 4.7 non-HO.
Lets lay down the basics before you start throwing money and parts at your truck:
What's your budget?
Do you plan on daily driving?
What octane gas do you want to run?
If I had access to your wallet, here's what I would do. I'd get a reman motor and before swapping it in, I'd throw in some HO cams (they are on national backorder but you can get a set used if you look hard enough), and some Beehive springs. the HO cams have a more aggressive profile, and make significantly more torque down low. the HOs are also cheaper than the other available grinds out there. They are arguably the best "bang for the buck" profile available to date.
I'd get the 2008+ 4.7 intake manifold, along with the necessary Throttle Body adapters from Nick at AirRam.com . To my knowledge I am the only person to successfully swap this manifold in a 4.7 WJ. I can personally guide you with the install.
Speaking of TB's, a easy way to gain some throttle response is a ported or bored TB. I sell ported TBs, but other vendors that cater to the 4.7 are the Fastman, and F&B sells Billet castings.
Regarding an intake, I'd honestly piece together one using some Aluminum piping. I had a 3" plastic intake and when I swapped to the '08 manifold, I opted for a 4" system I put together. The sound is unlike anything else!
With the above setup, you can run a stock tune, but you'll be at the point where you really should consider a custom tune. SCT is the only company that currently sells custom tuning programmers. I am currently running a stock tune but I have tuned in the past with Sean Powell....he is among the best. I am running the above mods (minus HO cams- I am still running non-HOs) and above 4500 rpms I see AFRs of 13.2-13.5:1. This is , IMO, right on the edge of being safe on a stock tune.
The above mods would cost you approximately 1500 (2000 at most) on top of the long block. You'd be good for roughly 350 crank, on pump gas, and with better than stock drivability. This is a setup your wife could drive ( although I doubt you'd want her to :lol: ) , all the while it'd rip from off-idle to 6000+ rpm.
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Iwould look at LKQ yards. I got a 08 4.7 gen 2 with 3000 miles for $1100. I would think that the 02-07 non-HO engine would be in the 800-1000 range and they have guarantees. Find a nice low mileage one. www.car-part.com is a good place to start. Then look into what Sleepy above says with some SCT or superchips tuners
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Wow, great feedback guys! I am budgeting about $4000 for the whole project. The motor (unless I can find one cheaper like Scottina06 suggested) will run me $2500 so I can't go crazy above that but it sound like I may not have to. Last time I worked on a completed tear down and rebuild it was a Carburated (albiet Holley/Edlebrock combo) 80's Camaro. I just don't want the new computer or any main sensors yelling at me cause I tweaked it. Sounds like I won;t have to worry too much tho. I am gonna put a LOT of thought to what Sleepy4.7 said. Helps me really wrap my head around this.
I went from handing it off to someone else to do an old engine swap to figuring :if I'm going this far..."
I love my jeep. My kids know daddy can go anywhere and always be safe in it. It will be a daily driver. I don't mind putting 91 octane in it. I tracked mileage with different octanes for the last year and a half and it really didn't cost much more. It was still only about 12.7 mpg with any fuel but it was an old engine with 130k on it.
I will start the hunt for some HO cams and a '08+ intake and see what kinda deals I run into.
Thanks again!!
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Sounds like a great project your gonna get yourself into Adam!
Ryan's list is pretty much everything I want to do to mine, so if you follow that you're gonna haul ass bro! Keep us updated on the project as you progress on, oh and welcome to JG!
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
if your gonna have the motor apart to install cams or anything....I would look into some race ported heads too. Get ya 300 hp out of it while your at it
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
i second what marty said, thats pretty much the list i have for mine.
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
You're welcome. 4000 is a nice little budget to play with, but it doesn't exactly tell us what that is expected to cover.
Do you already have the tools and hard parts needed to do the physical swap? i.e. cherry picker, etc etc.
You should probably factor in about 500 bucks for new sensors (Cam position, Crank position, O2 sensors) to go along with the new motor. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way, and when is a better time to replace parts than when the engine is out of the bay? My WJ is lifted on heavy 31's (60+ lbs a corner) and I manage to get 16+ mpg mixed driving. I dont know what your driving habits are like, nor where you drive, but I'd imagine that you at minimum could use some new O2 sensors with that kind of gas mileage. I have 125k on mine, but alot of it has been highway driving.
You could probably find a used longblock for cheaper than the 2500 you outlined. I would think, at least. It would not hurt to check ebay, or craigslist. Theres always a risk buying used, but chances are it'd work out OK, and leave money for other items of concern during the swap.
The setup I outlined for you will pass emissions and inspections with flying colors. No codes. I figured you were a family man and you'd want something that was very streetable, just alot stronger. this setup uses actual factory Jeep parts (intake manifold and cams) at the heart and soul of it, with a little custom work engineered to make it work best. :) . I have to emphasize however, that you're going to want some sort of SCT tuning. Even if it's a stock timing map with some extra fuel added to keep things safe at WOT.
Scott made a good suggestion with heads, however I don't think there is room in the budget for that. If you allocate some more money for that, PM me, I will recommend you to a shop that ONLY does porting. They are among the best in the biz, and are very reasonable in their pricing.
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
I have done anything you could want to do...... heads are pretty damn expensive but a very good mod. Cams are great if you can get a set of HO's. Intake is also a good idea. I have basicaly my entire 4.7HO i just ripped out of my running jeep.
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
I'm a pretty aggressive driver by myself but currier the kids around a lot so Sleepy4.7 is spot on. I do have all the tools I need or can borrow them including the picker. I have a pretty decent setup already, and had to replace most of the sensors over the summer last year; cam, crank, O2's. Mileage did improve some but it had almost 100k on it when I bought it. I am pretty sure it was a repo but in great cosmetic shape. I think I paid $7k for it and it's paid for. Well it was lol! It can only improve from here. Ended up btw replacing the fuel pump on the summer project and a grand later I was back on the road.
That's a bit more about me and my habits I guess. I'll keep progress updated when I get going in here. I am looking at a cpl wks to get started.
Thanks again guys!
Re: 02 WJ 4.7 Re-Build/Upgrade
Well, The Best Laid Plans and all...
The IRS messed my tax refund up and I am going through the Forever long process of appealing it. What this means is that I have a couple grand to work with and not the 4 or 5 I planned on. Argh!!!
I am needing wheels sooner rather than later so I am back to looking at dropping a used motor in.
I suppose if I am gonna go that route and most of the junkyard motors I've seen leave the peripherals attached I wonder if I could drop an H.O. in instead of my standard 4.7?
Anyone know of any mounting or linkage etc issues that might accompany that? Will the tranny mount up the same?
I hate making such a compromise here. I was very much looking forward to that motor build in my garage but life said No for the moment.
Thanks again for the help of the collective guys!

Kick me in the shin! I never would have thought this little end table could be so cute, but it seriously is! I picked it up cheap off my friend Minnie who got all kinds of deals when she went junking in Oklahoma. Minnie also hooked me up with a big load of pallet wood.
Here is the dreadful before. I even staged it sitting next to my guitar make you like the before a little better. I knew I would use ASCP Florence Chalk Paint, but as I worked, I really wanted to add some Old White and Graphite stripes.
I painted the inside Graphite to clean it up a little bit. Don't you just love the way all the colors pop. This is seriously The Little End Table That Could! As for the rocking chair...
I planned on (take a deep breath) not painting it. What do you think? I have felt really feel pretty strong about it, but then I saw this...
What do YOU think? Let me know.
Either way, I'm having trouble wanting to let go of this one! I'll say that every single time.

6 Stocks Increasing Shareholder Wealth with Higher Dividends
Posted by: Dividends4Life (IP Logged)
Date: May 27, 2014 11:40AM
Dividend growth investing is a long-term strategy. A growing dividend is a sign that the company is becoming more valuable. Companies that consistently increase dividends tend to have steadily rising share prices, and the best way to benefit from this is to buy and hold the stocks. Diversification and a focus on blue-chip stocks provides insurance for the few companies that don't pan out.
Here are several companies compounding their shareholder's wealth with increased cash dividends:
Flowers Foods Inc. (FLO) produces and markets bakery foods in the U.S. It operates in two segments, Direct-Store-Delivery (DSD) and Warehouse Delivery. May 21, the company increased its quarterly dividend 6.7% to $0.12 per share. The dividend is payable June 18, 2014 to stockholders of record on June 4, 2014. The yield based on the new payout is 2.3%.
Stocks Discussed: FLO, JPM, AWR, NOV, MMC, GNTX,

I was planning on putting curtain rods with ring clips so that I can hang quilts awaiting quilting--I love to admire my work!!! I may do this behind the curtain rods-maybe just oilcloth--that has worked well for me in the past.-stuck to the wall with thumb tacks.

is it possible to move my itunes lib to an ext drive?
- [ Ignore ]
i just bought a seagate ext. drive can i move my itunes songs there? and have them auto download to it in the future for podcast? Many thanks in advance
Rather than post the method, go here and follow the steps listed. Make sure you read the caveats, such as make sure that the drive is connected and running whenever you run iTunes, or it will try to revert back to the original location.
Good luck.

The car is a lease so I don't really want to spend extra money on a car that isn't

The car is a lease so I don't really want to spend extra money on a car that isn't
Mine .....can I just put a hole in the pipe and plug it in later on?
really dude....this isnt a 1992 chevy lumina
Yes!! Do it.
Do it for the thread !!!!!!
(Opens up my folding chair, grabs a 12 pack and some pretzels)
Ok so it's a bad idea ! It's so quiet they should have put the same muffler as the 2008 corvette
The car insulation doesn't help.
I have a B&B catback and barely hear it but everyone says it sounds great.
2nd that for B&B
I'm sure there are many on the board who would like the same thing but didn't want to ask the question or at least phrase it the way you did, so don't feel bad.
The responses do point out the higher cost reality of owning a Cadillac;ie, nothing is cheap. Sad but true.
Have you ever considered drilling holes in your exhaust pipes? That will make it louder and at no cost to you! lol Sorry but I couldn't resisit.
I agree that the dual-mode baffled mufflers from a corvette would be great - quiet when you want civility, practically straight pipes when you want to get noticed.
Too bad though.
It may be cheaper to roll the windows down and drive around in low gear. If not, any decent muffler shop can swap out OEM for Corsa, Borla, etc for around a grand I'd imagine.
You could also just have the shop cut open your mufflers, remove the innards and tac in straight pipes - you'd want this done under the table as I'm not sure it's completely legal from a "sound polution" standpoint...
Would you take a drill to it if it was yours? Just go spend a grand and buy an exhaust or in the alternative buy some glass packs and go to your local exhaust shop. Cheap and loud
Buy a set of Borla muffs. Put them on. Enjoy. Sell them on Ebay when you turn the car back in. Otherwise. Cut outs!
Do you also want a cheap Intake too?
Get the same drill that you're going to drill your exhaust pipes with and drill you intake box and tube.
That's what I said like cut outs without the option to shut it up!
How many mufflers do I have to buy 2?
....pleast don't cut holes....
You could install electric cutouts, which would allow a similar effect without destroying the exhaust pipe. There are going to be times when you don't want the car to sound like a pro street rod....I would think.
I have heard that some people have liked the sound of the stock exhaust with aftermarket performance cats, and X-pipe replacement. I also believe I have seen some threads where the stock mufflers had a bypass pipe installed between the pipe and the tips, to bypass the mufflers with some of the flow and sound with results they were happy with.
I think the stock exhaust sounds pretty good myself, though it is a bit quiet inside of the car. That really is kind of the point though, and its by design, its not supposed to sound like a muslce car with glass packs......
This - in the polished finish would be my choice. . . O-Pipe

First time he realized that selling out for the money has consequences? He wanted Nashville fans to love him unconditionally? Pretty pathetic.

When unreleased music from years ago finally sees the light of day it's like unearthing treasure, especially when it's as good as this. This Mykela "Candy" track assisted by Kanye West's lyrical prowess was also produced by the Louis Vuitton Don himself, two whole years before the release of The College Dropout. That's more than a decade ago, which means this gem precedes his entire solo career. Hearing the music that got the Yeezy touch way back at the beginning of his career really shows just how much his work has developed.
Music discovery. Lifestyle inspiration.

AB Makeup Liquid Lustre – Desire
Brand: AB Makeup
Range: Liquid Lustre
Shade: Desire
Swatched by yours truly: akisa
- Further to yesterday's swatch of AB Makeup Micro Bubble Lipstick in "Micro Mandarin", today I have Liquid Lustre in "Desire" which brings the sheer peachy creamy lipstick to life.
- Available in 8 shades, Desire is a sheer peachy golden gloss that is the perfect finishing touch over a peachy or nude lip base – be it lipstick or lip pencil.
- The lip gloss texture is very silky smooth & with absolutely no stickiness or tackiness at all.
- Whilst the website says it's a plumping gloss, I don't feel any tingle but my lips do appear to be re-shaped slightly. There are no smoothing effects on lip lines.
- The taste is neutral, like the taste of the gloss formula rather than a deliberate attempt to create a signature scent.
- Verdict: Whilst I love the pretty peachy golden shimmers and how it brings a nude lipstick to life, for the formula to excite me it would need to do a better job of sculpting and smoothing lip lines.
The swatch below is of the gloss on its own.
Lip swatch is of the gloss layered over AB Makeup Micro Bubble Lipstick in "Micro Mandarin"
Available online.
This product was provided for consideration.

I admire your thick juicy lips. Your lips looks great with any color.

Where do I start?
I have been wanting to do some paint correction for a while now but have been waiting until better weather. Now that it is here, the itch has gotten stronger and I am ready to clean up all the paint of my Jeep.
I understand the basics of paint correction through reading the endless write-ups and such but I have never jumped into anything further than washing, claying, and basic waxes. I would like to see if there are any options I have without getting into electric buffers. I don't have a problem with them but obviously if it's not needed, then I'd rather not buy it. I'm not looking for an award winning finish but I feel a solid correction will go a long way.
Here are the best pictures I could get given my lack of camera and correct lighting.
So, if possible, what can I do without a electric buffer? I tried Meguiars ultimate compound in some areas, and it looked like it helped with some of the lighter scratches but didn't get me to where I wanted.
If I do need to go with the electric buffer, I know which one and what polishes and compounds I would like to use, but I am confused on which pads should be used with what.
Thanks for any help! :thumbsup:
Re: Where do I start?
get a porter cable da polisher...they are invaluable
Re: Where do I start?
Re: Where do I start?
then buy the new meguiars microfiber pads and correction kit. they claim its ALMOAST foolproof with the PC.
Re: Where do I start?
I've had EXCELLENT results with that Porter Cable, Meguiars Ultimate Compound, Ultimate Polish, NXT, and Meg's Yellow Wax. I had slightly less of an issue than you do and it took me a day, but it was totally worth it. I used Lake County foam pads. Do not fear the DA buffers. Fear the rotary buffers.:thumbsup:
Getting what you have corrected by hand is a tall order...I've never been able to get that level of correction without a machine. Like Scott said...they are invalueable. I went from a rotary to a DA.
Re: Where do I start?
Thanks for the info! Very helpful.
I was figured I would need to get the porter cable and save my hands the pain of trying to do it without.
Where's the best place to buy the Porter Cable? I have been all through detailediamge's website and their price seems decent, but did know if someone had it for cheaper anywhere.
Re: Where do I start?
Well, you can always just punch the model number into Google and shop around, but DI's price is competitive and you get a discount for being a JG member. I bought mine from them...give back a little for all the incredibly detailed articles and info the provide this forum. The only thing that sux is that you don't get to touch/feel and you have to wait. No instant gratification like going to the store and getting one.
Re: Where do I start?
As far as pressure with using the PC, I know people say medium, light, etc but can someone compare that to something? Like use the same amount of pressure you would use for squeezing a lemon. I just pulled that out of my ass but you know what I mean.
Re: Where do I start?
Somewhere on either here, DI's site, or Meguiar's site, they actually tell you how many pounds of pressure...I don't know how much I believe all that. Personally, each panel and each issue and each pad and each product would require different pressure. A less agressive pad on a deeper scratch would require more time or more pressure.
I don't use the side handle on mine...one hand on the handle, on hand on the back of the head. It makes it easier to "steer" and apply pressure if needed. Sorry I can't give a more scientific answer.
Re: Where do I start?
That's cool. I have a general knowledge of how much pressure would be needed. Just wanted to see if anyone had any more specific information. I'll check those sites out.
Thanks again for the help!
Re: Where do I start?
I'd suggest checking out our detailing guide for some more basic information and step by step instructions for each step. As for removing those swirls a buffer with quality polishes and pads should be able to buff out the majority of those imperfections. This is an excellent combination all in one convenient kit - DI Packages Porter Cable 7424 XP, Meguiar's Polish and Hydro Pads. Let me know if you have any other questions I'd be happy to help!
Greg @ DI
Re: Where do I start?
One more question. I see that the kit only comes with two pads of each kind. If I were to be doing my whole jeep, approximately how many pads of each would I need? I heard that you want a new pad every panel or so.

Car Hire Avignon Airport
Please call 0871 422 3910 Please note calls charged at 10ppm plus your network access charge
The city of Avignon in south-eastern France is a city filled with beautiful French architecture and culture going back hundreds of years. Many tourists come to this town to take in the beauty and warm climate as well as the world-renowned French food, festivals and beautiful countryside. The easiest way to get to this beautiful city is to fly to Avignon airport – also known as Caumont Airport which is about 8 kilometres south of Avignon itself.
The airport provides a gateway to the city as well as to some of the most beautiful countryside and small villages in France around the Provence, Alpes-Cote d'Azure region. To truly appreciate this beautiful area of France then getting your own transportation to set your own pace of discovery is the most popular choice for most. The airport itself caters for Flybe and Jet2.
Hiring a car in advance of your trip will take a lot of the stress out of your arrival. Booking a rental car online ensures that there is one available for you as soon as your plane touches down and for the duration of your trip. You also have the benefit of being able to select the car you want in advance and according to your travel party and what your intended plans are for your trip. For most leaving car hire to the last minute can end in disappointment with limited or no availability and this can be a bad start to your well planned trip. Make sure that if you are planning to do rent a car for your stay that you book in advance and take advantage of the great online advance booking deals that are available on the internet!
