Joe Morahan's Colorful Splashes
Photographer Joe Morahan has been on our radar for a long time. We've covered his work previously, and his love of high speed sports photography hasn't diminished since then.
Based in Denver, Colorado, we usually find Joe capturing athletes outdoors. He recently explained a series of indoor shoots which are no less impressive and action-filled than his outdoor work.
"This summer has been so hot, I think I subconsciously needed to do a shoot that reminded me of being a kid, looking for a way to stay cool – an erupting fire hydrant, a neighbor's lawn sprinkler, a Slip-n-Slide… anything!" says Joe.
"I began imagining a shoot where I could combine my summertime prerogative of keeping cool with my background in high-speed industrial photography, and my current passion for creating sports photography and films.
"Like many photographers, I keep an "inspiration" file going of cool techniques and styles. I soon found an image that was pretty close to what I wanted to achieve: a female athlete hitting a splash with a baseball bat. The effect was just as striking as I had imagined! I started to get really excited about using this technique in my sports photography, and taking it to a new level.
"I decided to apply the "splash" technique to several different sports, showing exploding balls of water – frozen at the moment of impact. This kind of shoot could be used in an ad campaign for sports drinks, illustrating the power of hydration in a really attention-grabbing way. I chose a pure black background and rim light to really highlight the shape and position of the athletes and the millions of tiny water droplets exploding around them.
"Over the years, I've captured tons of splashes, drops and pours for landscape and tabletop shoots. However, I'd never applied this technique to humans before. Boy, did I learn a thing or two! Before a single model set foot inside that studio, I had my lights and camera settings locked down. Whenever I'm testing a new technique, I do a lot of "pre-modeling" before the talent arrives so they're not waiting around, losing energy while I'm futzing. As you can see, I make a better photographer than a model!
"On the technical side of things, I knew just what to do. To freeze the motion and the water, I powered down my Profoto flashes, almost to the lowest power possible. Next, I cranked up the speed. I knew I could count on the speed of my Profoto lights to capture just the right moment.
"To keep both the faces and the splashes of water in tack-sharp focus, I had to close down my aperture to f/8. With all the kicks, swings and punches, the splashes of water were often 18-24" in front of my model's face. But when you stop down, you lose light. If you're using diffusion you then have to kick up the power on your flashes, losing your fast flash duration. So in the end, I didn't use any diffusion tools and instead, I swept the specular light across my models.
"The craziest challenge was keeping my beloved camera equipment and Profoto gear dry! I've dealt with water on-set before, but usually on a smaller scale or as rain falling from above… not exploding in all directions. Safety first, people. We made sure all power connections were lifted off the floor and covered everything in sight with trash bags.
"Ironically, with all that water flying around, my studio got incredibly hot and muggy during this shoot. These images are far more refreshing to look at than they were to produce! So much for staying cool this summer…"

Excellent! Can you write more about the lighting set up?
Joe Morahan
Hi Margaret,
I have part 2 and part 3 coming up!!!
It was so much info, lighting, remote triggers, splashes, and I wanted to make sure I tell you all everything, so I split this up in 3 parts.
I go through all my tricks and leave nothing out. Keep your eyes out for the next few parts to this : )
When will the other 2 expected?
How powerful it is!!! I would like to make a digital magazine for it by using FlipBook Creator. It is a really good title!!!
Hi Joe!
This work is amazing! I was just wondering what you would suggest to use as a light modifier so I could achieve the same rim light effect with off camera speedlites? I was hoping to do something similar with "coloured powder" for my Year 12 Media Final!
Hi Luke,
I am not fully understanding your question…..I used a reflector only for my light modifier. I did not want to lose any power, so I did not use any diffusion or anything like that. Take a look at part 3 maybe that will answer your questions, if not feel free to reach out to me and I can try to help you the best I can.
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the fast response, I had a look at part 3 and it filled in some gaps but was also wondering how the light/s were positioned? Since I'm only a student I'm using speedlites due to price, I have three of these for my Nikon D800.
Also I've been testing myself and have got nice results BUT the flash colors is still to white. did you use gels or whitebalence or did you play in post production to achieve the natural/orange light.
Thanks allot ill defiantly have to let you know how my folio turns out!
Hi Luke,
So to break it down a little bit more for ya…..I used 2 lights…..one was on either side of the model…..a little bit back, almost like a rim light. There is a fine line between a true rim light, and a rim light that adds a little light to the subjects…..and thats what you are looking for….a tad bit of light on the face, arms, and legs…..then do your splash…..I added the color in post production. So in all of my shots I had a white splash and added the color later. hit me up on email and I will let you know how to add that good color. firstname.lastname@example.com. I hope this helps you out…..and keep trying. The more you fail, the more you learn and the better these will come out for ya. Good Luck!!!

text: I was told by a BMW specialist that it would cost £450 to replace the circuit board or something?.all the other lights work ie warnings etc.anyone think this could be true? was priced this 2 years ago so still not fixed as makes me sick to believe it. four hundred and bloody fifty quid !!!! what happend to good old fashion light bulbs!!!

Apr 22, 2009 at 7:22 am #1235786
Mark HandyMember
Any data on durability of Icebreaker, Smartwool, and Ibex wool tops? I haven't had any problems with bottoms and accessories, and I take the lower durability of wool socks (versus synthetic) as part of the deal. But I have found big differences in durability of shirts.
My experience, best to worst: Smartwool (five-year-old stuff), Icebreaker, Ibex single-color, Smartwool (recent), Ibex stripes (didn't last two seasons!).
Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but my older Smartwool is going strong, with no pilling or holes despite regular use. My Ibex striped shirts have lots of holes.
Related science question: Anybody know what design/construction factors affect durability of wool?

I have recent Smartwool socks (2 pairs) that all have irreparable holes in them after about 150 miles! I have switched to an Icebreaker Bike/Run sock and have been nothing but happy.Apr 22, 2009 at 10:11 am #1496179
My experience with Smartwool has been inconsistent. My wife and I have numerous Smartwool mid and lightweight tops and bottoms. Some of them have a dozen holes, others wear like iron. Durability seems to be a case-by-case issue with them.
I have an Ibex lightweight wool T-shirt that fits like it was custom made, is very soft, and would get worn every day but for the small holes that showed up after a month of light use (always washed on delicate cycle in a front loader). The same occurred with a lightweight wool hat from them.
My Patagonia Wool 2 top has been very, very durable. The bottoms, however, have a few holes by the waistband after one ice climbing season.
Unblended wool in these light weights appears to be variable so far as durability goes.
Best wearing socks = Darn Tough, hands downApr 22, 2009 at 12:27 pm #1496215

Another vote for Icebreaker and Ibex. My experience with Smartwool was really disappointing – holes in my microweight t-shirts after one wearing. I haven't tried any other brands.Apr 22, 2009 at 5:22 pm #1496306

I have a pair of Icebreaker thin liner gloves and after about 10 uses the right one developed a hole in the wrist on the palm side about the size of a nickel. I sewed it up but thought it should have lasted longer then that!Apr 22, 2009 at 8:51 pm #1496359

Interesting comments and experiences.
I have had good durability with all Merino except Patagonia. It pilled badly and lost its shape.
Some of the early Ibex developed small holes at the logo on the back-neck area but they never went further.
Smart Wool has been very durable for me, all weights.
I have a couple of their prototype tops that are close to 10 years old. For several years, I ran in one or the other of those tops every morning when it was cool enough for a LS top.
Icebreaker has been excellent.
EdApr 22, 2009 at 9:24 pm #1496366
Given all the responses, durability does seem variable.
However, the toughest wool baselayer I have ever used is my Arcteryx Rho zip-neck thingy. Mine is a 90/10 wool and lycra blend, and it is much, much tougher than the current all wool version. I love its stretch and fit for the skinny,long-armed type.
A bit of synthetic mixed with wool seems to really increase durability.Apr 22, 2009 at 10:16 pm #1496372
Courtney WaalMember
I'm nastily allergic to wool, but as a knitter and spinner I know a fair bit about the stuff. Sock yarns that are available tend to be 80% wool and 20% synthetic. This is essential to prevent wear at the toe and heel- if using a 100% wool yarn we often use a stronger (more abrasion-resistant) holding yarn along with the wool at the toe and heel. Wool makes elastic, springy socks that are very tolerant to fit issues but it can be worn down very easily. This is why historically stockings were made with replaceable toes and heels in a different color to aid picking up the stitches again.
A huge amount of the durability you see in yarns depends on how they're spun. Fibers are strongest when plied, though if the plies are any thicker than hair-thin this can make a thicker garment. This isn't so much an issue in socks (which always use as many plies as possible) but is an issue in shirts. Generally, the more plies and the more twist a yarn has in it the more durable it is. The downside of this is that it feels much stiffer and harder. Softness and fluffiness are qualities that move a ball of yarn off the shelves but that generally make garments that shred very quickly when worn. Fibers come loose from the yarn very easily when there isn't much twist to hold them in.
When you're giving a shirt or sweater the rub test in the store, think less about softness and more about checking the rubbed area for any fiber ends that spring loose. Merino is one of the least durable varieties of wool, given that it's bred for extremely fine fibers along with the fact that Merino wool has very short staple length so there are a lot more ends to pop out and come loose. Merino is used because there's a glut of it available cheaply from Australia and because you can wear it next to the skin.
Better breed choices for making high-performance wool clothing are down breeds like Dorset and Shetland. Down sheep have fiber with a spiral crimp that produces ridiculously high loft, springiness, and warmth. Down wool also is nearly impossible to felt, which can be ridiculously easy in soft Merino unless you chemically strip the fibers to make superwash wool. If anyone out there wants to start a push to use down breeds for technical clothing, knitters will back you up. Merino is a scam.Apr 23, 2009 at 5:27 am #1496395

I avoid smartwool light hikers. I have killed every pair of those very quickly. However, the smartwool mini adrenaline crews. , expedition trekking heavy cushion socks and their mountaineering socks have been bombproof for me. Two pairs of my adrenaline crews have survived three long distance running seasons and a thru hike. Also smartwpol liner socks fall apart for me too quick.Apr 23, 2009 at 5:37 am #1496400

"Merino is used ….. because you can wear it next to the skin."
That's the key and why merino isn't a scam. Before merino I tried various wool base layers and hats and they all itched. Merino doesn't.
I've found merino quite durable – certainly as durable as thin synthetic base layers, which lose their wicking properties after a while. They look fine, they just don't work well. I have Smartwool and Icebreaker tops that are several years old and have been worn regularly that are in good condition.
Oddly, with socks I've found Smartwool Light Hikers more durable than other Smartwool socks, especially the Adrenaline!Apr 23, 2009 at 11:47 am #1496515

Smartwool rules, my midweight top has a snag or two, not serious, socks are 100%, especially the heavy and extra heavy. Those socks are so cush, I bring them every time I know my feet will sweat, the X heavys are the best sleeping socks i know, and im wearing them right now. LJs are in great shape as is my beanie
Have some BD woolweight liners, first pair tore by taking htem off via teeth, now I got a warranty replacement and they are perfect and I hope they will last much longer.Apr 23, 2009 at 12:33 pm #1496528
Courtney- very informative. It helps explain why I have a pair of will mittens (non-Merino) and old wool work shirts that are impossible to wear out. Also, the fact that many people here have had both posistive and negative experiences with Merino appears to support your analysis.

Win/win IMO.


text: Dec 14 2:42 PM CT By Calvin Watkins | ESPNDallas.com IRVING, Texas -- Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan drew a bench penalty in last week's Cincinnati Bengals game after he got into a verbal spat with tackle Andre Smith. Ryan was emotional for the bulk of the Bengals game for obvious reasons. Tie the death of Brown to the Cowboys battling for a playoff berth as why there was tension on the sidelines. "I get into the game. I was ready to play that game," Ryan said. "I think we all wanted to fight, even though you're a coach, I think the whole situation made everybody a little on edge and unfortunately I was a little on too much edge probably. I think in this business there are a lot of fighters and you don't know how to react emotionally in a situation like that and sometimes, obviously that was the wrong thing to do. I was a little over-excited and I was a little bit more ready to fight I think than probably I should have been."

Battle of the Chefs competition set for March 1
February 22, 2011Tweet
Sodexo and Binghamton University Dining Services are preparing for a Battle of the Chefs competition to take place from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 1, in Appalachian Dining Hall.
The competition will involve collaborative efforts between students, faculty and Sodexo chefs on campus. There will be a total of five teams, four of which will consist of four students selected from each residential community. One team will be made up of faculty and staff.
Each team will have no knowledge of what they are to make.
"It's kind of like Iron Chef," said Katrina Miner, Sodexo marketing manager, referring to the popular cooking TV show.
The chefs will be there to supervise and help guide each team, yet the students are responsible for all of the cooking ingredients, and will be expected to prepare three courses in a limited amount of time. The meals will then be evaluated by a panel of judges.
Miner is enthusiastic about the goodie bags contestants will receive.
"They will get participation bags, which will not be skimpy," Miner said. The goodie bags will be provided by General Mills and will contain T-shirts, iTunes gift cards and dining dollars.
The biggest prize goes to the winners of the battle − a catered dinner for 12, and $50 Visa gift cards.
To compete for the grand prize, each team will have to adhere to a strict set of guidelines before and during the battle. Prior to the competition, the teams will meet twice with their designated chef to discuss safety issues such as proper knife handling.
Each team will be equipped with a propane burner, a George Forman grill, a blender and a "mystery basket" filled with ingredients. There will be a 10-minute period when the teams will be allowed to meet and plan their cooking strategy before the competition begins.
The competitors will begin to cook at 5:45 p.m. The first dish is to be presented to the judges at 6:30 p.m., followed by the second and third dishes at 6:40 and 6:50 p.m., respectively, Miner said.
As far as the nature of the meals to be prepared is concerned, not even Miner knows what to expect. "I don't know, it depends on what is in the mystery basket," Miner said, "but we are looking to promote the beginning of National Nutrition Month, so the actual basket will be based on wellness items that we want to highlight."
The contents of the baskets are privy only to Campus Executive Chef John Enright, who coordinated them. Enright is also in charge of the judging. Judging criteria for each dish will include presentation, taste and how well the ingredients are used.
The contest is also set to highlight Sodexo's Balanced Way program. Coordinated by campus Registered Dietitian Alexa Schmidt, the program prepares nutritious meals to help encourage healthy life and eating habits.
Some of the Sodexo staff will be directly involved in the competition. General Manager Paul Kerns and Director of Auxiliary Services Peter Napolitano will be on the faculty and staff team. David Simek, associate athletic director, will DJ the event. One of the judges is Resident Dining Director Jim Meagher.
"We are working on getting a couple of local celebrity judges, but I don't want to say anything yet," Miner said.
Miner is also hoping to broadcast the contest on a large screen in the dining hall, with a cameraman traveling around to capture the competition. Students and faculty are encouraged to attend and watch the battle. A vendor fair will also take place at the same time as the competition, with vendors set up to provide samples around the perimeter of the contest, guaranteeing a good experience for everyone.
Sodexo also hosts other events that allow for student and staff interaction. Contests such as trivia and eating competitions take place weekly in the dining halls. All of Sodexo's events are student-oriented, and the Battle of the Chefs is a chance for Sodexo staff and students to interact, Miner said.
More information about the competition and other Sodexo events can be found at budining.com.

Wairoa District Council is upgrading its water supply at Tuai "as we speak" - answering criticism from the Green Party suggesting the supply had faecal contamination.
The council's chief executive Peter Freeman said the public water at Tuai had been an issue for many years but the expense of upgrading prevented action resolving the problem up until now.
"It is something we inherited from the Government 25 years ago. It's always been a boiled water situation there but it will be fixed when we get the upgrades in place.
"We are installing a filtration system as we speak and other work by using a Ministry of Health grant."
Mr Freeman said it would cost $240,000 to complete the upgrade, $185,000 from the ministry's grant and the balance from Wairoa ratepayers.
A report released on drinking water in New Zealand showed supplies servicing 13,000 people in Hawke's Bay had issues with faecal contamination, the Green Party said in a press statement.
The report showed five supplies in Hawke's Bay had issues with E.Coli contamination which was an indicator of faecal contamination. The five included three supplies in the Hastings district, at Havelock North, Whirinaki and Waimarama. There was one in Central Hawke's Bay at Porangahau and the one at Tuai.
Mr Freeman said faecal contamination did not automatically indicate there was human faeces in the water.
The council's acting chief executive Shawn McKinley said an investigation was launched into the water supply at Porangahau following the 2011/12 water report.
"We issued notices to people out there, hand delivered to every property. There was one tap we weren't sure of so we replaced that."

Students get involved for different reasons based on their individual needs
and desires. What they receive varies with their individual contribution, but
most students say they receive great personal dividends. Five of the most common
reasons to get involved are:
The benefits they receive from their involvement include:
Exploring career options
Working with groups (running effective meetings, learning delegation skills,
using public relations)
Interpersonal skills (communicating, managing conflict, listening, etc.)
Making a difference on campus
Learning and practicing leadership skills (delegating, communicating,
managing time, setting goals)
Having fun
There is yet another good reason to get involved -- success! Alexander
Astin, an educator at UCLA, researched 200,000 students and determined that
success in college is related to involvement (Achieving Academic Excellence,
1985). Astin defines involvement as including:
Living on campus
Working on campus
Being involved in campus activities
Having significant interactions with faculty, staff, administration or peers
Being involved in research or other close relationships with
According to Astin, students involved in one or more of these areas tend to
be more successful in college. Even if you don't live or work on campus, there
are many opportunities for you to explore to help enrich your college
With so many choices, it might be difficult figuring out which involvement
opportunity fits your needs and desires. The first step is to ask yourself the
following questions:
What have I been involved with in the past?
Why did I get involved in those particular opportunities?
Are there new types of involvement opportunities I would like to
If you want help answering these questions, stop by the Student Involvement
and Employment Office, Lower Level UC and let us help you!
Establish personal goals and then decide how you will reach those goals
through your involvement experiences. Select activities that will help you reach
your goals. Some possible sources of information are Student Involvement,
student organizations, the campus calendar, your living unit, your academic
advisor, friends or the campus newsletter classified ads.
Once you know what type of involvement you are looking for, put a plan
together to take that first step. Some suggestions are:
Talk to your advisor or the advisor of one of the organizations
Find out as much as possible about the organization
Go to a meeting with a person already involved in the organization
Grab a friend and go to a meeting together. If you can't find anyone who
wants to go, go by yourself

There is no other web platform in the world that lets you build a fully functional, optimized, and scalable enterprise ready website in under 48hrs. Microsoft's web platform provides you with a powerful set of tools, servers, and tech that can help you take an idea in your head and make it a reality within the blink of an eye.
Full Disclosure: If it wasn't clear by the blurb next to the paper clip in the top left I work for Microsoft. Moreover, I work in DevDiv and see Scott Gu in the halls everyday. However, this really is my unbiased personal opinion of the Microsoft Web Platform.To understand the reasons behind why I'm writing this post I need to give you some background.
The Background
On a recent trip home to see family and friends I had the idea to create a 100% free dating website very similar to plentyoffish.com. Except, I decided to target it towards the Indian and non-resident Indian (NRI) audiences – I won't bore you with why but if you've ever heard of Shaadi or BharatMatrimony then you know where this is going. I looked at my competition and designed a site in my head that would be able to compete with these juggernauts of Indian matrimony and dating. I called it Desi Spark (Desi means a person of Indian or Pakistani descent) and wanted it to be the first professional 100% free Indian matrimony and dating website.
You can see the finished site here. If you know any desis please send the link their way!
The Reason For Writing
Now back to the reason why I'm writing this. Put simply, it's because I'm absolutely amazed at the raw power and robustness of what we at Microsoft offer. When you use all the offerings in concert you just have to step back and admire the beauty. Moreover, I LOVE the fact that every tool (except two) I used to create Desi Spark was for free and from Microsoft. Even more, I could have signed up for BizSpark or WebsiteSpark and got immediate access to full-featured development tools! (If you're a student check out DreamSpark).
Seriously, who else but Microsoft offers this?
Full Disclosure (A Little More):
Before we talk shop about how I built my own enterprise ready website I want to give a little more disclosure on my background. If you follow my blog you'll likely have seen that 1) I don't post regularly (more because of NDAs than anything else) and 2) I'm a big fan of ASP .NET, ASP .NET AJAX, and of course JQuery. I was a web dev for years before I turned PM so I'm pretty familiar with the technologies.
I did create Desi Spark in approximately 48hrs but I've subtracted away all the countless hours of design, graphics, and testing I spent. That is a pure development cost. If you're like me you know with a good design things just work.
Dude, It's Easy To Create A Dating Site In 48hrs
Well it is with the Microsoft Web Platform . No, but seriously, I hear ya. If this was a cookie cutter site I'd fess up but it isn't. It was created for the demographics I'm targeting and consequently has a lot of cool features like:
- Custom profiles depending on a user's intent (i.e. matrimony or dating)
- Photo album upload with built-in cropping tool
- Advanced Hotmail style messaging system
- message users
- see sent mail
- see who's read or delete your messages
- print messages
- save messages
- message limits
- Ability to see who's viewed your profile
- Advanced search that finds matches on over 20 different criteria
- Custom matching algorithm to find compatible users
- Favorites system with ratings that you can sort on
- Contact preferences to determine who's allowed to message you (based on multiple levels of criteria)
- Block users
- Friend referral system
- … and more… I'm getting tired of typing them all but I've taken some screen shots below so you can check it out
The Platform
OK, let's talk shop. It's all HTML 5 – just kidding! Let me walk you through my stack, and then through the tools I used.
The Framework
I used ASP .NET which is free and has a rich set of features, integration with databases and makes web services a breeze (check out this post – a little dated but still enough to get you going).
Throw on ASP .NET AJAX and all their amazing rich controls and then add the Microsoft Ajax CDN to get JQuery (supported by Microsoft!) and JQuery UI and you've got an insane amount of UI power at your finger tips that all work seamlessly together. Don't forget about jQuery validation for some slick client-side validation (but always always remember to validate on the server!).
So we've got the UI covered; what about data? Piece of cake! Easily add data-driven functionality by using the robust data controls, LINQ and LINQ to SQL. You literally just drag and drop and your entire data model is built in less than 60 seconds. No more fussing with DataSets. If you don't know SQL then use LINQ to query your database. You don't even need to write stored procedures anymore thanks to LINQ – it's equally secure and probably optimizes better (although I will admit I used sprocs for any complex queries like searching and the matching algorithm, but for any simple select/create/update/delete operation I used LINQ to SQL).
We're still not done. Finally, I used the Enterprise Library from Microsoft Patterns and Practices to implement all my exception handling and logging logic. Now I get emails when there is a P0 error, and everything else is logged to my database. Set up was simple thanks to the tools that it provides and all I had to do was implement a simple try/catch pattern to get the correct behavior.
The Database
On my local machine I installed SQL Server Express which is free for both development and deployment. You get:
- x32/86 or x64 support,
- migration tools to easily import or export your data which comes in very handy when moving to a production database,
- all the programmability support you need like full text search, CLR integration and XML support (this is very cool btw.),
- intellisense,
- and even reporting services allowing you to export to Excel, Word, or PDF
The Server
What else but IIS which is again free to use! A modular and extensible platform for hosting your website. It's has too many features to name but the most important takeaway is that it does all the work for you. It lets you host both .NET and PHP sites which was perfect for me since I wanted Desi Spark on ASP .NET but the Desi Spark blog on PHP.
Let's Take A Breather
WOW – is it just me or is that a lot of powerful tech for zero dollars and zero cents ($0.00)! I hope you're starting to see why I'm so excited and so proud of what Microsoft offers. The crazy thing though, is that I haven't even mentioned the tools yet…
The Tools
I only needed four tools to create Desi Spark and 2 of them were from Microsoft, but they were all free.
Visual Web Developer Express
Visual Web Developer Express is a free development environment that you can use to create and test web applications. It has a design surface, powerful debugging, support for AJAX and jQuery, intellisense and integration with IIS.
SQL Server Management Studio Express
The Management Studio is a free integrated environment for developing and configuring your SQL server. It had everything I needed to build an enterprise ready website.
During my debugging and testing an SQL profiler was the only tool I cried out for that wasn't included. Thankfully someone has created a great tool that more than met my needs. Check it out here.
Vault Source Control
Source control isn't a must have but it sure makes life easier. I was unable to find a free 1 user license offered by Microsoft so I used Vault which is straight forward to set up.
So there you have it. Everything I used to create Desi Spark – the first 100% free Indian matrimony and dating website – all for free thanks to Microsoft. The framework made it possible, and the tools made it simple.
What has the Microsoft Web Platform empowered you to create?

2005 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder
My check engine light came on yesterday. The codes are P0139 (downstream oxygen censor circuit, slow response) and P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold). Here is what I am thinking about doing. I want to replace the oxygen censor and I am hoping that this will fix both of codes since the oxygen censor is connected to the cat. Also, it is WAY cheaper to start here. What do you think?
I think you're right. How long has it been since you had a tuneup? It may be beneficial to put new plugs in it at the same time.
Those oxygen sensors are pretty common to fail, start there and see what happens
Well, mathman, by the numbers, for this decision to be a toss up,
if the O2 sensor costs 1/10th (way cheaper?) of the catalytic stuff
the sensor should be 10x (pretty common to fail?) more likely to fail,
assuming your labor is free.
Let's price out some stuff and see what kind of odds we need for this to be a toss up. The numbers will make things more black and white.
You still may be wrong but at least you had a good reason for your choice.
Thanks for your help people. I'm going to change the 02 censor this weekend and see what happens.
Mort - I haven't had a tune up in a while, but I think new spark plugs may be a good idea as well. :thumbsup:
factory plugs are designed to go around 110,000 miles
Yeah, and some cars can get 7500 miles between oil changes. That doesn't mean I'd do it.
Long life spark plugs can start to get pricey, no need to spend money on something that will have no effect on anything.
So the 02 censor has been replaced and the check engine light has disappeared (YES!!!).

Reader's Spotlight (XV) - Mom8:00 PM
This is not going to be one of the usual posts in this series. That's 'coz I am featuring my Mom this time. (Yes, ↑ She is my Mom!) Most of you might already know that she was visiting me last month when I got her a make over. Which, by the way, I do every time she visits (previous makeover) 'coz love for style is something we both have in common and I thoroughly enjoy dressing her up (whenever she allows me!). She didn't wish to talk much about fashion, but instead this is what she wrote to me:
I have been reading your blog since the first day that you started. I have always appreciated your writing and honesty. Even pushed you write more often while you were growing up, but it happened only when you decided. Your dedication is 100% whether it is towards your hobby or towards your work.
As far this outfit is concerned, I enjoy dressing up as it makes me happy. But I only try new trends with caution. I looks forward to more travel, make overs, and coffee dates with you.
For those who are new here: This is a segment where my readers get to share their style or ask for suggestions (if they need any!) from all my readers. So if you have been inspired by my blog then Email me your outfit pictures for this feature. If anyone wishes to stay Anonymous just say the word. I post this feature every alternate Friday.

There are a lot of things missing around Sheepshead Bay in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Some homes vanished. Gas has dried up. Most waterfront blocks are without power, heat or hot water, and no one has seen FEMA or Red Cross in the neighborhood.
And, in the hundreds of e-mails, phone calls, text messages, tweets and Facebook comments we've been getting, residents have noted time and time again that our local politicians are also AWOL.
Now, I don't completely agree with that. Councilman Lew Fidler was the first we heard from after Hurricane Sandy, compiling a list of resources for recovery. State Senator Marty Golden has been shooting out about a dozen press releases each day, some seeking volunteers to help in Gerritsen Beach, others passing along resources like GasBuddy.com to help constituents find operating gas stations. Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz and Councilman Michael Nelson – both booted from their offices by the flood – have done site visits, and Cymbrowitz has sent out resources for FEMA and Con Edison.
But our readers are pretty adamant that it's not enough, and they're demanding more.
Few of the locally elected, that we're aware of, have criticized Con Edison for their lackluster response. They have failed to fight back against the requirement that homeowners – already hard hit financially by the storm – now have to pay out of their own pockets for electricians to provide certification to the city that the home is safe to be energized (the requirement itself is understandable, but the added cost is not).
Here are a few suggestions for our pols regarding Con Ed from reader Richard K.:
- Con Ed should send representatives to post notices regarding the certification requirement (with the required forms).
- Con Ed should send their own electricians to homes just as they send meter readers to each home every month. Many people cannot even afford the additional cost of a certified electricians.
- Con Ed should set a deadline for certification by their electricians. Homes that have not been certified, due to lack of entry, by the deadline should be cut from power individually. A few people should not be allowed to prevent power restoration to the entire neighborhood.
We're also hearing a lot of outcry from readers that, once they go through filing the forms, there's little response from Con Edison, and some have said that Con Edison representatives seem unsure of what to do with it. When these constituents contacted their local officials, the officials chose to defer to Con Edison – not exactly a solution if the problem is Con Edison.
Residents, of course, want gas for their cars, and are fed up with waiting hours in line just for a gas station to run out before they get to refuel. And, yet, when the government was distributing free gas in Brooklyn, they did it at the Brooklyn Armory in Crown Heights. That's right, Crown Heights, where there was no real damage from the storm; where residents did not need gas to power sump pumps; and where mass transit options opened up long before the did here in Southern Brooklyn.
Oh, and where you'd need to drive to actually fill up, since they were not allowing people to fill up gas cans.
That gas should've been distributed in Southern Brooklyn, where people really needed it. And our local elected officials should've been shouting from the neighborhood's splintered roofs to get it.
But that has passed, and no more free gas is available. So, now, where are our local pols demanding that operating gas stations in Zone A and Zone B receive gas before less resource- and transit-starved neighborhoods?
And then there's FEMA and Red Cross. Senator Marty Golden has done a great job coordinating in Gerritsen Beach. We've heard Councilman Michael Nelson and Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz have been involved with efforts down at the Shorefront Y in Brighton Beach. But how come there have been no similar efforts in Sheepshead Bay? How come they have not demanded FEMA mobile units to park themselves on Emmons Avenue, and help those in the bungalows and the co-ops and the businesses fill out the proper forms for assistance? How come they have not helped in organizing teams to go door to door, like in Brighton Beach and Gerritsen Beach and Coney Island, where homebound seniors are being brought blankets and food while those in the co-ops of Sheepshead Bay's Zone A have received nary a visit (or at least that was the case when I knocked on doors earlier this week, letting people know they could get supplies from P.S. 52)?
I don't agree with the majority of our readers when they say the local pols haven't done anything. But I do think they need to forcefully and enthusiastically seize the opportunity to help their constituents. And they need to summon up some of that burning indignation you see during the campaigns and set their sites on Con Edison, gas distributors and FEMA.
Sheepshead Bay will not be forgotten. Its residents will make sure of that on many election days to come.

$ For Far Rock
United States Congressman Gregory Meeks and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary Andrew Cuomo announced this week $600,000 in HUD assistance to stimulate business investment and job creation in Far Rockaway.
Although it was expected that Cuomo and Meeks would meet with local community and business leaders at Peninsula Hospital this week, inclement weather prohibited the meeting.
Cuomo said through a press release this week, "A combination of HUD Community Development Block Grant and HOPE VI technical assistance will be used to develop a blueprint for downtown commercial area redevelopment boosting retail and private investment in the economically depressed area of Far Rockaway."
As part of the assistance, HUD is creating a HUD/Columbia University Economic Development partnership to engage Far Rockaway residents in a concentrated economic development strategic planning process. The partnership with Columbia University will encourage residents to act as community advisers to the economic development team.
The economic revitalization plan will include land use plans for specific, strategic vacant lots, as well as other initiatives to attract private investment and spark the creation of businesses and jobs in the area surrounding the Arverne-Edgemere HOPE VI public housing redevelopment project.
"Today, many communities are reaping the benefits of our booming economy," said Secretary Cuomo. "Now we must turn our attention to places left behind and give them the key to unlock their economic potential."
"These funds are purely based on HUD's commitment to residents of the 6th Congressional District," Congressman Meeks said. "HUD has laid the foundation for the creation of jobs and economic revitalization which will help the overall general welfare of residents of Far Rockaway. It is a market that has been underserved for many years."
HUD will also educate a community builder on HUD's staff to coordinate all HUD services to Far Rockaway. The Far Rockaway community builder will act as the HUD liaison to the community, ensuring smooth coordination of all development activities as well as efficient service delivery.

Renaldo Balkman Going Godzilla On His Teammates And Choking Little Asians In Filipino Basketball League
I got caught up in the moment of a very intense game.I respect @arwind029 as a person & player.I am proud to be part of@petronblaze fam.
— Renaldo Balkman (@R_Balkman32) March 8, 2013
Looks like things are looking up for Renaldo Balkman, huh! Remember when the Knicks – a franchise who's been starving for a point guard for like the past 50 years – took him instead of Rajon Rondo? Thanks Isiah!
At any rate, this would be me if I ever played in some foreign league. Like if I ever went over to Japan to play pro ball after my MLB career tailed off I'd have absolutely zero respect for the league, the fans, my teammates. I wouldn't give a shit about any of it. Who cares about foreigners I'd be cheating, fighting, playing hungover. Whatever. Renaldo Balkmen doesn't give a shit about these little Filipinos and neither would I. It would be like one big game of street ball to me. You'd think Ardwin would probably know that. Don't go poking around at Gozirra, Ardwin! Guy doesn't give a fuck about you.
PS – Hey Renaldo – I think its time you take down the Knicks background on your twitter. I think that ship has sailed.

Can IPL photofacial increase chances of pre-cancer spots? I had two removed previously on face and want to know if this process could irritate a different one that might be dormant?
IPL Increase Risks of Pre-cancer Spots?
Doctor Answers 2
IPL and skin cancer
It is not likely that the IPL will cause an increased risk of cancer. However, it is a new modality and as such, the long term consequences of this therapy remain unknown.

Buick's mid-size Sport Wagon looks set for a revival courtesy of the Opel Insignia Sports Tourer sold overseas. Yes, the planned update for the Buick Regal looks to be much more significant than just the minor facelift we were expecting.
A prototype for the Regal with a station wagon body has been spotted by one of our spy photographers as it was undergoing hot weather testing in California's Death Valley recently.
We know this is a Regal and not the aforementioned Insignia Sports Tourer, which, incidentally, is also due for an update, because of the familiar Regal wheel pattern and the Buick vehicles testing alongside it.
It's not clear when the updated Buick range, including this new Regal Sport Wagon, is due in showrooms, but the most likely scenario is a launch in the middle of next year as a 2014 model. Regular readers may recall Buick just introduced its 2013 Regal range.

State of Emergency Declared in Texas
Published April 22nd, 2013
Loading Video...
Federal assistance will hopefully ease the recovery efforts in West Texas.
The death toll at a fertilizer plant rose to 14 on Friday, two days after a massive fire and explosion.
Answering president Obama's declaration of a state emergency, FEMA says federal disaster assistance is now available to Texas.
The explosion damaged not only the plant but nearby homes also.
The blast even registered as a 2.1 magnitude earthquake.
Some people in the small town of 2,800 are now staying with friends or in hotels after their homes were damaged or destroyed.

Help with contacting support?
I want to contact customer support because there's this guy on PSN that keeps harassing me when I'm with friends. Just today he threatened to kill me and I have video of him saying that. I called 18003457669 but they give me an automatic voice. I want to talk to a live person. One of my friends did this but I lost contact with him. Can I get some advice?
Also, if there's an e-mail address where I can e-mail them I'll take that too.
Thank you

You can only contact Playstation customer support during business hours, which are 6AM to 10PM Pacific time in North America. You can also use live chat on this site, but that has the same hours. SCEA no longer offers Playstation support via e-mail.

You will get an automatic voice message. That is normal. Continue to click the options for what you are calling about.
Eventually you will be told you will be with a real person in (so-and-so) minutes (or given the option to select to speak to one.).
Just be patient.
As for the live-chat on the site, go here and click on "Live Chat."
If it doesn't work on your PS3, it may be because the PS3's web browser is not compatible with this feature.

Fresh Spearmint Ice Cream
There's not a drop of food-coloring in this old-fashioned ice cream. Its pale color and sprightly flavor speak to its purity and its short ingredient list: milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and fresh-from-the-garden mint.
- Servings: 6
- Yield: Makes 3 cups
Source: Martha Stewart Living, May 2008
- 1 cup packed fresh spearmint, preferably Kentucky Colonel
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
Prepare an ice-water bath. Cook mint in a small saucepan of boiling water until bright green, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mint to ice-water bath. When cool, drain, and squeeze out excess water. Reserve ice-water bath.
Puree mint and milk in a blender until mint is finely chopped. Transfer to a medium saucepan, add cream, and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Meanwhile, whisk together eggs and sugar in a medium bowl.
Gradually whisk 1/3 of the cream mixture into the egg mixture, then pour egg-cream mixture into the saucepan with the remaining cream mixture. Set over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat the back of the spoon, about 8 minutes. (Do not let the mixture come to a simmer.)
Strain through a fine sieve into a heatproof bowl, pressing on mint to extract liquid. Set bowl in ice-water bath. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container, and freeze until firm, about 4 hours (or up to 1 week).

So I'm one million months pregnant, a blessed reality of which all of you, my dear readers, are well aware. Sorry for that. Sort of.
This past weekend was my emotional due date, and when our
alarm clock toddler went off at o'dark thirty on Monday morning, I may or may not have starting sobbing. Because a. I was still pregnant and b. my husband had to go back to work and we were not blissfully baby-mooning in a 5 star hospital suite eating sumptuous cafeteria fare and cuddling our angelic newborn. (Yes, I have completely lost touch with reality.)
I managed to pull it together and get a shower in before punching in for the day, but I was preeeeetty much scrabbling around on the rockiest bottom all the day long. (And the dr's appointment which included an ineffective and loathsomely titled 'membrane stripping' … well that didn't tint my glasses any rosier, either.)
The thing is, despite my repeated efforts to suck it up, offer it up, and pick myself up…this pregnancy and motherhood thing has been really hard. And it continues to get harder. Better in some ways, yes, but definitely harder.
So this morning when my mom called and offered to take Joey for a couple of nights to let me rest, I did what any good mother would do: I said I'd think about it, which was code for 'no thank you.'
Not because I didn't need the break – I do, desperately. And not because I don't trust my mother to watch her beloved grandson who looks so exactly like my dad as a little boy he can reduce her to tears of admiration. I said I'd think about it because, honestly, what kind of a mother would I be if I had to give my child away for a couple nights in order to give myself some time off?
I'd be a smart mother.
After a few minutes of discussion with Dave, I called her back and surprised us both by heartily accepting her generous offer. And then I started packing his duffel bag. Because somewhere in the fog of hormones and emotions, in the back of my brain, I could hear Kimberly Hahn or some other venerable sage of domesticity intoning the maxim of motherhood: "Never turn down offers of help while your children are young."
So even though I feel guilty (inappropriately so), anxious (unreasonably so), and somewhat chagrined by my own perceived lack of ability to multi-task at 40 weeks pregnant (idiotically so), I'm sending the little tyke to Camp Grandparents for a 48 hour furlough, and putting my feet up for a couple of days.
And trying really, really hard not to feel bad about it. It's Easter, after all, and if I can't accept some of His lavish mercy during this holiest time of the year, then I've got bigger problems than uncontrolled swelling in my fingers and face.
I don't know if this came out as a litany of complaint or of humility, but I do know that I'm planning on spending the next few days in rest and prayer and maybe in a pedicurist's chair. Because I'm not invincible after all, it turns out. And swollen toes look better tipped in one of summer's hot pink hues, I'm told.

Woman identified in deadly crash on I-10
Laura Abbott, 52, was part of group attending Date Festival
CATHEDRAL CITY, Calif. - The woman who was killed in a car crash on eastbound I-10 while heading to the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival over the weekend has been identified by the Riverside County Coroner's Office.
Laura Abbott, 52, died after she lost control of her pickup truck that was pulling a trailer around 10 a.m. Sunday. The truck flipped on the interstate just west of Date Palm Drive.
Abbott, a resident of Loma Linda, was part of a caravan from Future Farmers of America.
Abbott's 20 year old daughter was in the truck as well and was taken to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.
Eastbound traffic was slowed as crews worked to clean up the accident West of Date Palm from 10am until about 1:45pm Sunday afternoon.
CHP isn't sure exactly why Abbott lost control of the pickup truck, the crash is under investigation.

I hope the Jags get it. They have a bunch of interesting stories rolling into this season.
Spin that Webb young Davis
Yeah, I'd be shocked if the Rams ended up on Hard Knocks after the Rams and the NFL shut down the Michael Sam/Oprah show, which was the right move.
But I wish the NFL would pick a team for the show already, if nobody volunteers, and stop dragging this out.

Vaccination to protect against infection of the female reproductive tract
Huston, Wilhelmina M., Harvie, Marina, Mittal, Aruna, Timms, Peter, & Beagley, Kenneth W. (2012) Vaccination to protect against infection of the female reproductive tract. Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 8(1), pp. 81-94.
Infection of the female genital tract can result in serious morbidities and mortalities from reproductive disability, pelvic inflammatory disease and cancer, to impacts on the fetus, such as infant blindness. While therapeutic agents are available, frequent testing and treatment is required to prevent the occurrence of the severe disease sequelae. Hence, sexually transmitted infections remain a major public health burden with ongoing social and economic barriers to prevention and treatment. Unfortunately, while there are two success stories in the development of vaccines to protect against HPV infection of the female reproductive tract, many serious infectious agents impacting on the female reproductive tract still have no vaccines available. Vaccination to prevent infection of the female reproductive tract is an inherently difficult target, with many impacting factors, such as appropriate vaccination strategies/mechanisms to induce a suitable protective response locally in the genital tract, variation in the local immune responses due to the hormonal cycle, selection of vaccine antigen(s) that confers effective protection against multiple variants of a single pathogen (e.g., the different serovars of Chlamydia trachomatis) and timing of the vaccine administration prior to infection exposure. Despite these difficulties, there are numerous ongoing efforts to develop effective vaccines against these infectious agents and it is likely that this important human health field will see further major developments in the next 5 years.
