Nature Never Disappoints When Cruising

I guess I should have been scared, but honestly, I never was. It happened last July as we were heading north. We were about 50 miles offshore, about equal with Boston, and I was alone on watch. Having enjoyed the sunset, I settled back comfortably, scanning the horizon, waiting for the darkness that would soon encircle us. A gentle sea and vast sky was all that was in view. No land, no ships, no nothing. Then something large moved in the water just ahead of us.

I called below breathlessly to Larry, "Get up here quick! I think it's a whale." . . . "At least, it better be a whale", I remember muttering more softly to myself.

Larry clambered up top and turned his head to the direction in which my eyes were glued. He was just in time to witness a magnificent 35-foot whale completely surface, a mere 100 feet in front of us. I turned hard to starboard to avoid a collision. The whale then made a quick and graceful move that completely and totally both silenced and awed Larry and I. This huge mammal rose straight toward the heavens, with only it's tail left touching the water, then crashed back down on it's side, spraying water all over us.

"Unbelievable!" Larry finally uttered, breaking the timeless silence. We were both overwhelmed. That single breach by this whale would have sufficed to last us a lifetime of memories, but the whale had more showing off to do for us before letting us pass by. For the next 20 minutes, he dove and flipped his tail at us. He rested on the surface and did that water-spouting thing. But most memorably, he breached another six times, with each leap seemingly getting higher and higher out of the water. Finally, as dusk fell completely, the whale must have sensed that he no longer had an audience, and gently slid away in the darkness.

It doesn't seem to matter. We can be miles offshore or we can be tucked away in

 a secluded anchorage. We can be tied up in a marina or just sitting in a boat yard. One constant we have found everywhere in our cruising life is that we are perpetually being entertained by creatures great and small, and this time we don't mean our cats. I guess back when we were working all the time there was just so much time spent indoors, at work or at home, or driving quickly from place to place, worrying about work or about home, that we missed a lot of what the outdoors has to offer. The speed of travel in a cruising boat couldn't be better suited to spotting various creatures of the wild and is of a pace that truly allows you to blend in and enjoy.

 Enthused by our sighting of the whale, we later that summer sailed out to Mt. Desert Island in Maine, a popular whale watching spot, to try to recreate some of the magic. But nature doesn't work that way. We sailed around the tiny, desolate island for several hours, and saw only what we believe might have been the flip of one tail. That day we had to be satisfied with the ample beauty of the lonely lighthouse that graces the island.
Maine certainly didn't disappoint us with the rest of her wildlife, though. We made several sightings of Bald Eagles and played regularly with the miniature sized Bottle-Nosed Dolphins. We marveled at the hundreds of playful seals perched on rocky ledges, and soon learned their system of alerting each other as we tried to approach closer by dinghy. They'd all rock their chubby little bodies off their perches and gracefully disappear under water. But, if you hung around long enough, one by one, up would bob their little heads, whiskers dripping and eyes popping, as they looked around to see if you were still bothering them.

Closer to the Canadian border, we sailed 10 miles offshore to remote Machias Seal Island, the southernmost nesting grounds of the rare Puffin birds. As we approached the island, these odd little, short bodied, large headed birds started flying straight toward us and flew around the boat. This island also features Razorbill Auks, Arctic & Common Terns and Petrels. They were all truly a unique sight.

On the trip south again we captured the beauty of deer in the early mist at sunrise, as they cautiously approached the waters edge of the Alligator Pungo Canal.

We watched raccoons swim across small rivers in the Carolinas, then observed as they meticulously rinsed their food, held cleverly with their two little front paws. We enjoyed the multitudes of ducks, Loons, and Cranes that seemed to be constantly with us, singing their songs. Then as we hit the barrier islands in South Carolina and Georgia, sightings of wild horses took us back to a time well before civilization.

One evening while anchored in northern Florida, we watched an alligator slowly and craftily stalking its prey, an unsuspecting fluffy white egret, for what seemed like an hour or more. Suddenly, there was a frenzy of boiling water as he made his attack, and we knew dinner had been served. Just the other day while I was working on the aft deck of Serengeti, I had this feeling I was being watched. I looked up and 15 feet behind the boat, not moving an inch, was a large alligator head with one eye absolutely glued on me. Talk about an eerie feeling.

While refitting Serengeti, we've gotten to play daily with a whole slew of manatees. From little 3 foot babies to mammoth 15 footers with barnacles

Spot, the manatee, takes a drink from a leaking water hose

 growing on their backs, these funny faced, gentle giants are completely tame and constantly looking for a leaking hose where they can spend hours getting their fill of fresh water. Sadly, we've given them all names like Slash, Spot and Pi, to correspond with the propeller marks on their backs.

One time on a wild downwind ride out to the Dry Tortugas, we were hitting 13 knots in speed, and just out-surfing large waves that seemed as if they may crash over our transom. We were somewhat nervously watching each of these waves, when suddenly, right at the top of a wave-a height well above deck level-was a school of big fish swam right at us and staring us straight in the eyes. That certainly calmed those waves for us. If fish could pay social visits in the crest of a wave like that, it certainly shouldn't be a problem for a big boat like us.

Our encounters with nature have been as thrilling as the whale's breathtaking leaps, as simple as a lone sea turtle popping its head up and saying hello as we pass by, or as touching as helping a flying fish back in the water after landing on our deck. The birds are a constant companion, and the dolphins present just often enough to make each visit special. The wildlife has made the rough seas seem less threatening and the calm waters more beautiful with their graceful reflections. Long passages are more entertaining, and early mornings much easier to get up for.

As I write this, there is a handsome osprey sitting proudly on the top of our mast, screeching at me to include him in the story. "OK, buddy", I yell back at him. "You made the story. Now, get off my mast and leave our wind instruments alone!"

text: New Website for Auto Museum Volkswagen Share Comments The Auto Museum Volkswagen's new website premiered today. Large-scale motifs which showcase the museum and its contents clearly dominate the design. The website's overall structure has been optimized for more intuitive use – with "clicking" to buy documents and data sheets, and current events from around the car museum available in the foreground. The Auto Museum website can still be found at www.volkswagen-automuseum.de. The content's new design concept on the greatly expanded Volkswagen Auto Museum website focuses on visually stunning large-scale motifs to set the experience of the Auto Museum in scene. It shows exhibitions and events in a series of images, so that visitors to the website can feel like an insider in the action. A future goal of the car museum website is to make its visitors feel a stronger relationship. Thus, timely newsworthy events such as a reading, club visit or an interview with visitors about their passion for historical Volkswagen will quickly find their way to the website. A newsletter distribution will follow. Since the Auto Museum Volkswagen acts as the treasury of the Volkswagen brand, the permanent exhibition lives under the slogan "The car. The museum." Aside from generous image introduction of the various models, the visitor will also get key figures and characteristics. A selection of vehicles which will be gradually extended to all the exhibits has been made. Of course, for the owners of a historic Volkswagens, the most sought-after certificate that gives them information about the original factory settings of their historic Volkswagens are available to order online. An online store for Volkswagen Accessories is also planned for the near future. The new website of the Volkswagen Auto Museum also has parallels to the website of Volkswagen Classic, so that the Volkswagen Enthusiast "at home" feel in the history of Volkswagen.

Microsoft Surface
Did you know that using mice on computers is slowly going behind the times? Why, even Microsoft thinks so! It seems as if the latest and greatest tools in the computer navigation world are your fingers. Yep, you read that correctly. Your fingers! Allow me to elaborate a little bit. Microsoft has unveiled a new type of computer in which you can use your hands to do the tasks you need to get done. Sounds pretty cool, huh? Let's check it out!
This new product is called Microsoft Surface and it's very neat, to say the least. Basically, it is a Windows Vista computer that is tucked inside of a table base with a clear top. Inside the computer, there are five cameras that are able to sense your touch. These features allow you to, for example, paint a picture by "dipping" your finger into the palette and drawing something. Here's an example of what the Surface looks like:
The Microsoft Surface is initially intended for customers to use in businesses, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores and public venues. In addition to sensing your touch, Surface can also sense objects, such as wine glasses, cell phones, cameras, music players, credit cards and so on. Below is a list of some of the cool things you can do with the Surface computer:
- Restaurant: Scroll through a cocktail menu and select your drinks. Place two credit cards on the computer and drag and drop the items to each credit card to split the bill however you need to.
- Retail Stores: You're buying a cell phone and want to compare two models. Place them on the Surface table and the list of specifications will appear. (In fact, the cellular provider, T-Mobile, plans to try this idea out first!)
- Hotels: The Surface would be the ultimate concierge service. Select what you want to do and it will appear instantly on a map for you to look at.
- Personal Use: Place your digital camera on Surface and your pictures will appear like photos (see the image above). Move them around by dragging them and resize them by dragging the corners.
And that's not all! There's so much more you can do with this amazing table computer. It can also identify WiFi or Bluetooth devices and barcodes, just to name a few.
The Surface's price tags are reportedly $5,000 to $10,000 per unit. However, Microsoft says it expects the prices to drop enough to make consumer versions in three to five years. It is expected to be released by commercial partners in November of this year (2007).
If you're as interested as I was in the Microsoft Surface computer and want to see what else it can do, check out a YouTube video on it here. Or, to see more videos on the official Microsoft Surface Web site, just click here.
Check it out and enjoy, my friends!

Flavored sparkling water has surged in popularity, in part because it's a health-conscious alternative to sugar- or additive-laden soft drinks. Carbonating and flavoring your own water at home has the added bonus of being better for the environment, as well as for the family budget—even more so if you get sparkling water straight from your refrigerator rather than from a bottle or can.
If your household hasn't yet made flavored sparkling water a habit, here are some reasons why you should consider it—and some tasty recipes to help get you started.
Healthy for Your Family
Flavoring your own sparkling water with fruit juices or homemade syrups is healthier for your family because:
- You can control the amount of sugar in your family's drinks. A diet high in refined sugar is a proven health risk, and much of the sugar consumption in industrialized nations comes from beverages.
- You can vet the other ingredients that go into your carbonated beverages. Most sodas and soft drinks contain chemical additives.
Healthy for the Environment
Making sparkling water at home reduces your family's carbon footprint in a couple of ways:
- You use fewer bottles and cans (and less other packaging) that end up in landfills. Even if you recycle diligently, processing the plastic and aluminum waste carries an environmental impact.
- You limit the need to ship bottles and cans from the bottler to the warehouse to the grocery store, reducing pollution from the vehicles that transport them.
Healthy for Your Budget
The cost of a home carbonation system is quickly recouped by the savings you'll see. You might save even more if:
- You're in the market for a new refrigerator. Consider one that has a sparkling water feature right in the door, like the Samsung AW4. This will save counter space as well as the inconvenience of a separate carbonation system.
- You make your own sparkling water flavors, rather than relying on prepackaged syrups. The suggestions and recipes below can give you a head start.
Flavor Suggestions and Recipes
Flavored sparkling water can be as simple as a squirt of lemon or lime, or as complex as an infused syrup-and-juice "cocktail." You might start by weaning your family off of high-sugar juice. Cut the juice with a bit of sparkling water, and then gradually add more over a few weeks' time until they're drinking a healthier 50-50 mix. Next, introduce some more adventurous combinations, such as:
Sparkling Peach Green Tea
This cooling drink with a touch of mint is super easy. Brew plenty of double-strength tea (double the tea leaves, not the brewing time) and keep it in the refrigerator so you can quickly mix up this refresher.
Makes 1 serving
2 ounces (60ml) double-strength brewed green tea, cooled
3 ounces (90ml) peach nectar
4 ounces (120ml) sparkling water
2–3 mint leaves, plus extra sprig for garnish
Combine tea and peach nectar. Add ice and sparkling water. Bruise mint leaves to release oils, and add to tea; stir. Garnish with mint sprig.
Mango Lime Fizz
Fresh lime balances mango's sweetness with a bit of tartness.
Makes 1 serving
½ lime, cut into 4 pieces
4 ounces (120ml) mango juice
4 ounces (120ml) sparkling water
Place lime pieces in serving glass and add mango juice. Mash the pieces of lime to release their juices. Add ice to the glass and top with sparkling water.
Pineapple-Ginger Carrot Fizz
This is a refreshing and healthy drink that's pretty enough for guests, especially when you garnish it. Use this recipe to serve several people, or keep the pineapple-ginger-carrot base mixture in the fridge for single servings anytime.
Makes 5 servings
1 recipe pineapple-ginger syrup (see below)
¾ cup (180ml) carrot juice
3½ cups (750ml) sparkling water, chilled
Ice to serve
Shaved carrot curls and / or pineapple chunks for garnish (optional)
Combine the pineapple-ginger syrup and carrot juice in a pitcher and stir to mix (this mixture can be made ahead of time; cover and keep refrigerated). Just before serving, add chilled sparkling water. To serve, fill each glass with ice and garnish with a carrot peel and a pineapple chunk, if desired.
Pineapple-Ginger Syrup
2 cups pineapple juice
3-inch (7.5cm) piece of ginger root, peeled and cut into 1/4" (6mm) round slices.
Place the juice and the ginger root slices in a small pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer uncovered until liquid is reduced by half (about 15 minutes). Cool to room temperature, letting ginger steep in the pineapple syrup. When cool, remove ginger pieces from pineapple syrup and store mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (Note: For stronger ginger flavor, leave the root in the pineapple syrup while storing.)
Sparkling water drinks are healthy and economical, but they should also be fun. Get creative with combinations that sound interesting to you. You might even challenge your family to a drink-inventing contest!

UXmatters has published 27 articles on the topic Agile UX.
Agile methodology—more specifically Scrum—is an increasingly popular approach to increasing the speed of software development while maintaining flexibility. Scrum works well when an entire team is collocated. Real-time communication happens between team members during daily Scrum meetings. But assume part of a team is operating in a different role, from a different location. Sound challenging? In this article, I'll try to answer some common questions about user experience and Scrum by exploring the challenges a Development team faced when working with a separate UX team on a Scrum project. I'll also provide recommendations for UX teams that are part of a Scrum team.
While the information in this article reflects my experience working with my clients, confidentiality prevents my discussing specific situations, so I'll instead present a scenario that is based on some challenging situations that I've actually encountered in my work. This scenario resembles real situations from a very successful project on which the UX team was not colocated with the rest of the Scrum team. I hope this article will be useful to both UX professionals and software developers working on Scrum projects. Read More
I work in a very strict agile environment where the small size of the UX group means we have to straddle product teams and be creative in allocating our time and effort. For User Experience, working within an agile environment is often fraught with challenges. When priorities align and a UX designer is fully embedded in a product team, agile can be that designer's best friend—helping in prioritizing deliverables and organizing cross-functional efforts. However, when a UX designer must work across product teams and juggle multiple sprints and priorities, an agile development process can seem both chaotic and rigid at the same time.
My UX team has been developing and testing a model in which UX designers work across agile teams within our organization. So far, we are seeing some fairly positive results. In this article, I'll share how we do it, so you can try out our approach or modify it to suit your needs. Read More
In this edition of Ask UXmatters, our experts discuss integrating UX design and user research into agile software development.
Every month in Ask UXmatters, our panel of UX experts answers readers' questions about a broad range of user experience matters. To get answers to your own questions about UX strategy, design, user research, or any other topic of interest to UX professionals in an upcoming edition of Ask UXmatters, please send your question to us at: [email protected].

Liposuction is a body sculpture technique that removes superficial fat deposits to improve body contour and reduce size. It is not intended as a weight loss substitute. The best candidates for liposuction/liposculpture work out regularly, but still have fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Traditional liposuction/liposculpture removes excess fat by placing a thin tube, that is connected to a suction, through a small incision in the skin, which then vacuums out the unwanted fat. While this is an effective process, there are newer methods that, in certain patients, can be even more efficient in removing unwanted fat. Dr. Robert E. Rothfield has been using ultrasonic liposuction since 1994 and has incorporated the newest generation of ultrasonic liposuction techniques into his practice. He has also been active in teaching the technique to other plastic surgeons across the country. Ultrasonic liposuction employs a specialized device that uses sound waves (ultrasound) to selectively break up fat immediately prior to suction removal. This advanced technique allows Dr. Rothfield to perform liposuction/liposculpture with great precision and effectiveness. In women, the most common areas operated on are the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms, and beneath the chin. Men more commonly request liposuction of the abdomen and flanks (love handles).
For more information about liposuction/liposculpture or to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Rothfield, please contact Weston Plastic Surgery.

San Jose "Tea Party" Brings out the Worst of the Right Wing
The FOX-News heavily promoted anti- tax "tea parties" meant party-time for some of the worst of the right wing in San Jose, California today. Their signs signaled everything from racism, to homophobia, to misogyny. From noon about 100 gathered in front of the IRS building in downtown San Jose. They were countered by a smaller contingent of anti-war/anti-racism seasoned activists. But the tea party participants weren't listening.

San Jose, California in front of the IRS building around 1 PM...the displaced anger and undisguised racism and, well, ignorance were palpable.
Right wingers whined "this is our demonstration" and "we knew some of you people would show up to ruin it for us, why don't you go to another corner" when seasoned anti-war activists tried to engage them in discussion. One left-wing activist commented, "I was waiting for the hoods to be handed out...it was that bad."
A favorite argument levied at anti-war activists, who tried to point out that taxes are high because of endless military spending, went like this: "We work for a living---not like you who can just be called up on a moment's notice."
Such was the Tax Day Tea Party in San Jose.
original image (1584x2816)
Right Winger in this photo seems to be saying: "Just say no to education for immigrants" as he signs up people to oppose the Dream Act.
The Dream Act is a piece of proposed federal legislation that was introduced in the US senate and the US house of representatives in March 26, 2009. This bill would provide certain immigrant students who graduate from US High Schools, are of good moral character, arrived in the US as children, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment, the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency. It is largely seen by anti-immigrant forces as unfair spending of US taxpayer money to help undocumented immigrants reside in the US. HOWEVER, there is reason to consider the current version this proposed legislation carefully from an anti-war viewpoint as well. Military service is written into the Act as a path to citizenship in an apparent attempt to press latinos/latinas into jobs that would require them to kill.
See anti-war activist David Ledesma on why we should NOT support the Dream Act in its current form at: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2009/04/16/18589836.php

fox noise thinks these things are the way out of the wilderness for republicans, a way to artificially build a movement that would implicitly back the greedy wing of the repug party
from what I've seen, taxes had almost nothing to do with these events across the nation
it was just an opportunity for the right-wing nutters to come out and express their dismay that an african american is president and that their political party only has a stronghold on the american south, and even that may not last forever
also, I think the right wing has protest envy, jealous of 100-plus years of left wing activism. remember the protest warriors in the early years of the iraq war?

the answer is no, of course. but these idiots are freaked out by him for totally different reasons than thinking leftists are

But the real story is:
Wednesday Apr 15th, 2009 10:15 PM
Isn't it entertaining to see these people on the street? They only feel that it's OK for them to be there because Fox News told them to come out.
Thursday Apr 16th, 2009 2:51 PM
The tea-party movement is being energized by fox because fox said it was okay and suggested all the rightwing republican people come out. Think if MSNBC told everybody to attend the next anti-war protest we would have 50 million all across the nation because the far right is way out numbered as shown in recent polls.
American soldiers die for the expansion of the American empire and world domination for money and power. It's all about profit. Soldiers don't die for freedom. While marines die in the Middle East the American police are becoming more and more militarized and hostile toward all figures from with in the anti-establishment community. People are being spied on and harassed and the centralization of power by the creation of homeland security. The patriot act! The torture! and profits made by Halliburton, KBR, Carylal Group, Bechtel, and Lockheed Martin all at the expense of tax payer money. Soldiers die so these groups these war profiteers can get even more fat n filthy rich. That's greedy crony capitalism there for you. And people such as dick Chaney had nothing to do with it oh no! not at all. lol BRING THE TROOPS HOME FROM THE MIDDLE EAST IF YOU CARE ABOUT THEM. I know why 4,000 troops are dead. Nothing to do with liberation for Americans or Iraqis.
The only true socialist-communist-anarchist nation that i know of that ever existed was spain after the Spanish revolution. Anarchists organized the labor unions and they fought hard in battle to have their victory. To anybody who say's that it had never been done before I say they don't know their history. I look back at that as a success. The only reason why it failed was due to sabotage and the victors we're not willing to execute former members of the old regime. They didn't want to stoop to the level of killing those that remained in execution style and for this they paid the cost of losing their perfect world that lasted about few years.
"Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble; and to petition the government for a redress of grievance." end quote
As an anarchist i reject the state and it's laws and it's even it's boundaries that being the north and south boarder. Nobody is illegal and we are all human. Everybody has a right to speak their mind no matter what. Whether it is allowed by the law or not doesn't concern me and never will. Just because a law is a law doesn't necessarily make it right. What is right and what is wrong? It's very easy for me to answer that question. All I do is turn the tables and put my self in the other person's shoes like an Iraqi mother who wants American out of Iraq or an Iraqi father who lost his son and straps a bomb to his chest to kill our men to avenge his son's death. I understand why people do the things they do and America is the aggressor and that's why I'll never side my self with it and I don't think I'll ever leave this place because that would abandoning those who are exploited, oppressed over here by capitalism. We have to bring this system down and start over.
Footnote: I fully expect this posting to be deleted as it does not jive with the author(s) agenda. Thus limiting my RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH, again teh VERY first Amendment. You know they do that in every Communist country? Interesting, isn't it?

I do not agree with censorship on any website be it leftwing or right wing. I believe in fairness except if it's racist sexist homophobia then that's where the line get's drawn because fascism in the new democratic society will never be given a platform, EVER! The rise of fascism always starts out small that way. All under the guise of free speech until people are all of a sudden becoming under attack by far right Nazi fascist extremists.
While I am an Anarchist I do not believe in using violence to achieve the maximization of profit. Only Anarcho Capitalists believe in that. Anarchist anti-capitalist is what i am indeed. We can have socialism with out government but we will need some minimum government just until everybody is equally accommodated then we can break down the barriers of government even more until there is nothing left of it. People can then govern them selves and work in teams to survive much like and army of ants working only to survive rather that filthy money.

I just saw this in Google and had to respond. I was at the tea party in San Jose and everything written here is a complete distortion and lies. I know you want to push your agenda and make it look like people were all homophobes and racist, but that is not true at all. I am a gay hispanic woman and I witnessed the entire gathering. People were from all walks of life and all colors. They were mostly respectful and peaceful. There were a few at the rally who were irritated because the outside group that was coming in to protest in favor of undocumented immigrants was purposely being loud so we could not hear the people speaking on stage. They came in to crash the tea party and make it so we couldn't hear what people were saying. Other than that, nobody was rude and certainly nobody was racist. But there are people out there who will say anything to try to "prove" that the those of us who love this country as it was founded and who do not want our economy destroyed by socialist policies are somehow all "evil white racist homophobes". Nothing could be further from the truth.

I'd ask the writer who calls the article LIES to consider that even mainstream media sources report that "tea party" people are overwhelmingly white and anti-gay.
See photo here of t-shirt worn by a not-so-unusual participant at a tea party in San Jose. The date was July 5.
If you are gay please keep in mind. These people are NOT your friends.

Ariana Grande is no stranger to a crowd of screaming fans, but when Nathan's The Wanted bandmates pulled her on stage in the middle of one of their concerts, she wasn't prepared. After she ran off stage embarrassed, Nathan put down his microphone and followed her offstage (mid-concert!!) to make sure she wasn't too upset! Even after he re-joined the band on stage, he couldn't completely focuse and kept glancing offstage to make sure Ariana was okay. Adorable!

Three Delaware day care workers have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly organizing and videotaping a fight between two toddlers, the News Journal reports.
Tiana Harris, 49, Lisa Parker, 47, and Estefania Myers, 21, who worked at the Hands of Our Future day care in Dover, were also charged with two counts of second-degree assault.
In a video clip, the adults are seen allegedly encouraging two 3-year olds to fight it out while seven other children roam around in the area, according to court records, the newspaper reports.
In the video, according to police, one child is seen crying and yelling, "He's pinching me," and a worker responds, "No pinching, only punching," KYW-TV reports.
"Clearly, one of the children is crying and does not want to continue on and he is pushed back into the fray by one of the adults," Dover Police Capt. Tim Stump says.
He calls the scene "shocking, disturbing and infuriating."
The incident, which occurred five months ago, surfaced when a Dover police officer saw the cellphone video and alerted authorities.

If you didn't back a winner in the Cup today, there's always tonight, with the lotto draw that stops the nation.
$100 million is up for grabs and across Sydney everyone's looking for the winning edge, even divine intervention.
Two monks were happy to be swept up in lotto fever at Canley Heights today, blessing a newsagency but stopping short of joining the ticket queue.
But plenty of punters did, with one in two Australian adults snapping up a ticket.
Today's longest lines were in Sydney's luckiest suburbs; Campbelltown sold the most winning tickets for lotto, followed by Penrith, Cabramatta and the CBD.
Over eight million Australians have bought a ticket.
"There is a possibility that with such interest it could grow beyond 100 million dollars," Elissa Lewis from New South Wales Lotteries said.

Iron Maiden – Iron Maiden
July 17, 2012 in Artist Rewind, Reviews by Kylie
Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
So this is where it all begins. Iron Maiden's legendary debut from a time when everyone thought Motörhead, Black Flag, and Tom Petty were all punk, and "metal" was that crap that a long-dead Deep Purple, an out-of-ideas Black Sabbath, and a not-yet-broken-through Judas Priest played. 1979 saw Iron Maiden's first official recording, The Soundhouse Tapes, and in 1980, after a series of revolving door guitarists, saw Maiden enter the studio to record a proper album with absentee producer Wil Malone.
Sure, the production is fairly poor for a major label release, even by 1980 and shoestring budget standards of the day. But that doesn't stop Steve Harris' songwriting from cutting through loud and clear. From raucous rockers like "Charlotte The Harlot" and "Running Free," to moody power ballads "Remember Tomorrow" and "Strange World," to the epic "Phantom Of The Opera," the riffs, harmonies, and galloping bass lines never relent. Paul di'Anno delivers vocals with a delivery that is half punk, half metal, and all balls. Clive Burr's drums are a metal version of Ian Paice's (Deep Purple) technical fills and jazzy beats (check out the drumming in "Phantom"), and the guitar tandem of Dave Murray and Dennis Stratton is the best the band had had up to this point.
It's pretty obvious that Steve Harris had all of his ducks in a row when it came to finally getting Maiden out to the masses. There was more than enough material to record a full-length album, some B-sides ("Burning Ambition" from Running Free, "Invasion" from Women In Uniform), a non-album A-side ("Sanctuary," although it was on the North American album, where the single wasn't available), and still have leftovers for the followup, 1981's Killers ("Wrathchild," "Drifter," and "Purgatory" [as "Floating"] were all part of the band's setlist at varying points of the late 70s). As far as song choices go, they picked the best of what they had ("Wrathchild" was pretty tame before Adrian Smith joined the group and added in the 3457802352 guitar fills and turned up the tempo).
The album opens with "Prowler," which is one of my least favorite Maiden songs, not just on this album, but from their entire catalog. The middle section is pretty cool, but like a few of the lesser Maiden tracks from the Paul di'Anno era, it's only one verse repeated, a chorus, and midsection, with not much for guitar riffing. Personally, I would have kicked off the album with the debut single, "Running Free:" a far more raucous number with some great drumming and a killer harmony section, rather than a guitar solo (although before the album's release, there were times where Dave Murray played a solo before the harmony bit), which just feels more "complete" as a song.
"Remember Tomorrow" is an amazing metal ballad, and is far better than its counterpart, "Strange World" (though the latter isn't bad). It has that great soft/loud dynamic between the verse and "chorus," and, of course, the solo section is killer(s) metal. "Transylvania" and "Charlotte The Harlot" are more great rockers: the former being a riff and harmony monster of an instrumental, and the latter being the only song Dave Murray has ever written unassisted, which is quite a shame, as it's total riff-fest with a bit of humor."Iron Maiden" is, unlike the live renditions, a bit of a letdown. It has a better riff set than "Prowler," but has the same issue (one verse, chorus, middle, repeat verse and chorus). Quite a downer of a closer.
Saving the best for last, "Phantom Of The Opera" is everything that makes Maiden great. The guitar and bass riffs are highly technical, the harmony sections are amazing, and all 3 solos are incredible (including Dennis Stratton's only memorable solo [the second solo after the harmony bits]). However, the best official recording of the song is the live version from the Women In Uniform single, which is worth tracking down just for "Phantom." Here, the song is sped up, and conveys a lot more energy than on the album.
All three singles from the debut album are worth tracking down. "Burning Ambition" from Running Free, while a bit of "lighter fare" from Maiden, is the song that started the band! The Montrose cover, "I've Got The Fire," was Maiden's set opener from about '77 into '81 (before the release of Killers), so also worth getting. Women In Uniform is a bit of an oddball, since it's Maiden's only A-side cover. However, it has the proper studio recording of "Invasion" from The Soundhouse Tapes (why it's not on the debut, I'll never know), which is another great rocker with a great riff and a cool harmony part, and of course, the aforementioned live version of "Phantom" that owns everything in its path.
I'm not too big on either of the di'Anno albums, but this is the better of the two. Iron Maiden shows the transition from pub band to stadium monsters, but still has a few too many elements of the pub band phase that don't quite stand the test of time. It's certainly of historical value, but compared to the Bruce Dickinson albums, the signal-to-noise ratio isn't as strong, and not quite as good as what other upstart NHOBHM bands were putting out at the time (most notably Angel Witch's self-titled and Diamond Head's Lightning To The Nations).
Kylie's rating: 3.25 out of 5.

Mitel withdraws its $574 million bid for ShoreTel
TORONTO Nov 17 (Reuters) - Canadian telecom services provider Mitel Networks Corp said on Monday it has withdrawn its bid to buy smaller U.S. peer ShoreTel Inc , after ShoreTel refused to engage in any talks regarding a potential transaction.
Earlier this month, Mitel had raised its bid for ShoreTel by some $34 million to about $574 million, in an attempt to spur ShoreTel into discussions. (Reporting by Euan Rocha; Editing by Bernadette Baum)

First time: valve train geometry/mock up questions
I am mocking up the valve train to measure for correct pushrod length and I need some clarification from the pro's. I have read up a lot of valve train geometry lately and pretty much given up on the idea of setting up for midlift (smallest wipe area). Given my hardware I just do not think I can make it work, so I am just going for the center wipe.
First, here is my hardware:
SBC350, decked .020"
L31 Vortec heads, milled (.010" ?), OEM pressed in studs
Howard's Cams full roller rockers
Comp Camps XE274H (230/236º @.050", .490")
.026" Compressed thickness head gasket (although I am NOT using it in the mock up phase
When I tighten the polylock it is very clear when it bottoms out/zero lash is achieved. Is it from this point that I should go another 1/2 to full turn?
Where does the plunger on a hydraulic lifter normally operate at in a running engine (as in what height)? Doesn't it normally stay at the very top of the lifter, and when it is bumped by the cam it goes down a few thousands of an inch?
Right now I am getting a good centered roller wipe path with my adjustable pushrod set to 7.600". This "seems" short. When I tighten the polylock it is almost bottomed out on the stud shoulder. Is this normal/OK? Maybe I should consider lash caps? Are those OK to run in a street engine?
In this pic you see the where I am at with the 7.600" pushrod. The lightweight valve checking springs I got are pretty stiff. They are pushing the plunger on the hydraulic lifter down, so when I get to peak lift I use my hand to push the rocker down the rest of the way. I stop when the plunger reaches the top of the lifter. Is this OK?

I think fall is here for real. It's a bright sunny morning, but only 43 degrees…..brrrrr! But that's OK because I've got a great taco recipe and tacos taste great no matter what the temperature…right?
These tacos are made in minutes if your freezer is stocked with pulled pork. Click here for my slow cooker pulled pork recipe. If you have the pulled pork on hand, then all you have to do is heat that up, add some taco seasoning to it and make the salsa. Dinner's on the table in less that 30 minutes!
If you don't happen to have any pulled pork, you could use a rotisserie chicken and that would be delicious as well. I should let you know that this recipe is fairly spicy, so if you want to tone it down, there are a couple of things you can do. I used half a packet of Trader Joe's taco seasoning (which is pretty spicy) to season the pork. If you wanted it to be milder, just add less seasoning, try just a quarter of a packet. I added a whole jalapeno to the salsa, so it has a kick as well. If you didn't want a lot of heat, try adding just half of a jalapeno.
The end result is so flavorful and tasty. It's spicy, but the mango and the pork go together so wonderfully and the sweetness of the mango helps to cool things down a bit. Give these tacos a try and see for yourself how delicious they are!
Pulled Pork Tacos with Fresh Mango Salsa
- 8 oz fresh mango, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 lb cooked pulled pork
- 1/2 package taco seasoning (I used Trader Joe's)
- 8 small flour tortillas
Prepare salsa by chopping ingredients.
Combine mango, jalapeno, onion and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Squeeze lime juice over ingredients and combine.
Let salsa sit for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to develop. Meanwhile, heat pork in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the top and stir to combine.
Wrap tortillas in paper towels and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Spoon pork onto the tortillas and top with the salsa.

The Museum of Modern Art salutes master of Soviet cinema Dziga Vertov (1896-1954), whose still-radical experiments in image and sound have had an enduring influence on an astonishing range of contemporary filmmakers and artists. With the most comprehensive retrospective ever assembled in the United States, April 15 through June 4, the exhibition offers a deeper understanding of Vertov's landmark contributions to the history of cinema through an extensive selection of silent films, sound features, and related work by collaborators and rivals in what Vertov called his "factory of facts".
Dziga Vertov is organized by Yuri Tsivian, William Colvin Professor, the University of Chicago, and Joshua Siegel, Associate Curator, Department of Film, the Museum of Modern Art, in close collaboration with the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna. The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum New York and is made possible by the International Council of The Museum of Modern Art.

[USA MEN] An MRI evaluation on Monday confirmed that U.S. national team midfielder Stuart Holden suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee in Sunday's Gold Cup final.
Holden, who capped his comeback summer by starting in the Gold Cup final, will consult with the medical teams of U.S.
Soccer and Bolton Wanderers to formulate a treatment plan.
"We are absolutely devastated for Stuart," said U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann in a
statement. "He is such a great part of our team on the field and the locker room. He worked tremendously hard to recover from previous injuries and had really come back into form. He was fully
prepared to head back to Bolton and challenge for a starting spot. Now he will have our full support as he goes down this road again, and we will be with him every step of the way."
Holden, who was sidelined for most of two years following a knee injury suffered in March 2011 playing for Bolton Wanderers in England, was the only European-based player to stay with the USA for
entire series of five qualifiers and friendlies and then the Gold Cup in order to accelerate his comeback.
He was rewarded with a start in midfield on Sunday ahead of Mix Diskerud, but he had to go off after colliding with Panama's Alberto Quintero.
surgically repaired left knee hit Quintero's knee, but the injury was to Holden's right knee on which he put his weight as he braced for the challenge.

I don't think I'm getting it after all. It's nice and a great color. But I'm just not feeling it. And if I feel this way before I buy something, I generally don't wear the item often and end up giving it away. So I'll save my money for something I really like.
No MAS.

When writing new checks you can either modify an existing test file or
add a new one. If your tests are related to the tests performed by an
existing file, then add them to that file. Otherwise create a new .c file in the tests directory and add that file to the
CTESTS variable in Makefile.in.
A new test file will look something like the following:
#include <wine/test.h> #include <winbase.h> /* Maybe auxiliary functions and definitions here */ START_TEST(paths) { /* Write your checks there or put them in functions you will call from * there */ }
The test entry point is the START_TEST section. This is where execution will start. You can put all your tests in that section but it may be better to split related checks in functions you will call from the START_TEST section. The parameter to START_TEST must match the name of the C file. So in the above example the C file would be called paths.c.
Tests should start by including the wine/test.h header. This header will provide you access to all the testing framework functions. You can then include the windows header you need, but make sure to not include any Unix or Wine specific header: tests must compile on Windows.
You can use
trace to print informational messages. Note
that these messages will only be printed if runtest -v is being used.
trace("testing GlobalAddAtomA\n"); trace("foo=%d\n",foo);
Then just call functions and use
ok to make sure that
they behaved as expected:
ATOM atom = GlobalAddAtomA( "foobar" ); ok( GlobalFindAtomA( "foobar" ) == atom, "could not find atom foobar\n" ); ok( GlobalFindAtomA( "FOOBAR" ) == atom, "could not find atom FOOBAR\n" );The first parameter of
ok is an expression which must
evaluate to true if the test was successful. The next parameter is a
printf-compatible format string which is displayed in case the test
failed, and the following optional parameters depend on the format

Had the same "issue" trying to customise boot of Eee PC 1005PEB. A quick search of the forums using keyword "menu.lst" revealed the answer.
BT5 appears to use grub2 not grub, the config file is now /boot/grub/grub.cfg. a quick "nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg" shows that you should not edit the file directly as it is generated by "/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig".
For yours and others convenience maybe checkout this forum post:

I'm a new father and unfortunately my sole means of documenting my daughters hijinks is the camera on my phone. I'm looking to get a decent camera that will last a while and provide good photographs that are capable of being enlarged. I've started a crowdsourcing site to get help meeting my goal.
If you can help in any way that'd be great, even it's just to pass on my link!
Thanks so much,

Please note:
Strategies for Teaching about Mock Trial Procedures
Have students brainstorm the order of events in a mock trial and list them on one side of the blackboard. On the other side of the board, list the steps in a mock trial as they actually occur, noting any errors or omissions in the students' list as you do so.
Once the whole trial process has been introduced, have students make a list or brainstorm and write on the board the steps in a trial, first from the plaintiff/prosecution's point of view, (e.g., opening statement, direct examination of P/P's witnesses, cross-examination of defense witnesses and closing arguments). Do the same from the defense perspective.
Have students check newspapers and magazines for articles that mention a trial that is currently being conducted. Paste the articles to a large sheet of paper with the trial step that is mentioned in the article written in large letters at the top of the sheet. Have students post these around the classroom in their proper order.
Have students become familiar with the steps in a trial, the physical layout of a courtroom and the participants in a trial.
A courtroom visit is a good idea at this point (or after the group has begun working on the trial). Hold a debriefing session during the class period following the visit and/or have students write: What part(s) of the trial did you observe? What happened before the part(s) you observed? What happened in the trial after your left? List these on the board with the step of the trial that your group observed in the middle, and the "before" and "after" lists on either side.
Students should be instructed to watch a television program or see a movie having to do with a trial. Then they can discuss what the case was about, what parts of the trial they observed and whether the depiction of the trial procedure was accurate and realistic.
Invite a trial attorney or judge to the class to review basic trial procedure and describe different types of litigation, such as arbitration hearings, worker's compensation hearings, school board hearings and juvenile proceedings. Have the students discuss how and why do they differ from the basic civil and criminal trial procedure.
After general trial procedure has been covered in class, distribute the mock trial materials that you plan to use and have the students read them thoroughly. At this point you can either assign the roles of the various trial participants or wait until you have covered the rules of evidence. (This also helps ensure that students will read all of the trial materials, instead of just reading those for their parts or sides of the case.)

Who is our Art A. Dr. that is;
The Tenth Doctor
¿Or am I the only one who sees this?
:lol :lol No, I don't think you are the only one. I believe it was brought up long ago but I can't remember who.
I see no resemblance at all...
Nor do I...
Brak's' perception filter must be broken; I see it, too.
Dude, I'm so confused. :p
Glad the bullet holes are gone Brak's. ;)
Maybe from the forehead up... :lol
Sorry I am lost who is the guy in the first pic and what is he from? (I know who Art is and where he is from...)
Its from Doctor Who Mark....
Art really gets into it when he is turning off the alarm to his car....
I was the one who brought this up waaay back originally...
The resemblance is uncanny...
I thought it was you Craig but didn't want to misspeak if I was wrong.
maybe its not Doctor Who that Art is going for...but maybe a NEW DCON COSTUME???
Leave it to Gilmore... there will be no new costumes for DC... right now I am just hoping to make it to DC at all! Craig, I totally missed you pointing this out previous!
Art, if you don't make it to DC I'm driving to your house and dragging you kicking and screaming there!
whatever, he is goin to Dcon....Bob, I will gladly accompany you to his house if he believes he "can't make it"....
Friend of mine who was a youth pastor allways said "Don't say you can't just say you won't" He usually said this to people that said they couldn't get up in time for church.
Art, if you don't make it to DC I'm driving to your house and dragging you kicking and screaming there!
Apparently you now have no choice in the matter. Do you really want Bob, Myself, Gilmore, and MaulMaus knocking on your front door?
It could get really ugly.....
:lol :p
Nope.. none at all... :lol :lol
See, wasn't that easy? ;)
Seriously, I WANT to go and right now it is really looking good but with the up and down rollercoaster ride life has been throwing at me lately... I don't want to make promises I can't keep... plus I am still trying to get the house back together from last year...
are you serious...do you remember what I do for a living... you realize if you actually hear the door open...youll already be dead..................
just use the sonic screwdriver to sneak in..
I don't think so, the nose shapes are different. The eyes do sort of remind me of the 9th doctor. If you were a David Tennet look-a-like you could also dress up as Bartmus Crouch Jr, from Harry Potter.
And the Sonic Screw driver toys are available for sale in the US! Mine has an Invisable ink attachment.
Art...you dont want none of this...all i bring is the pain...OH YEAH!!!

[quote:Ghost Avatar 379976:MV81MTE1NzFfNzkyMzcyNV85OEJCODUyMw==] This is a good site for clarification: http://usa-the-republic.com/revenue/true_history/Chap4.html Excerpt: Eisner vs. Macomber 252 U.S. 189 pg 205 (1920) The Sixteenth Amendment must be construed in connection with the taxing clauses of the original Constitution and the effect attributed to them before the Amendment was adopted. In Pollock v. Farmers' Loan and Trust it was held that taxes upon rents and profits of real estate and upon returns from investments of personal property were in effect direct taxes upon the property from which the income arose, imposed by reason of ownership; and that Congress could not impose such taxes without apportioning them among the states according to population, as required by Art 1 Sect. 2 Cl. 3 and Sect. 9 Cl. 4 of the original Constitution. Afterwards, and evidently in recognition of the limitations upon the taxing power of Congress thus determined, the Sixteenth Amendment was adopted: . . . As repeatedly held, this did not extend the taxing power to new subjects, but merely removed the necessity which might otherwise exist for an apportionment among the states of taxes laid on income. . . . it becomes essential to distinguish between what is and what is not "income', as the term is there used; After examining dictionaries in common use we find little to add to the succinct definition adopted in two cases arising under the Corporation (Excise) Tax Act of 1909 (Stratton's Independence v. Howbert 231 US 399, 415; Doyle v. Mitchell Bros. Co. 247 US 179, 185) "Income may be defined as the gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both combined", provided it be understood to include profit gained through a sale or conversion of capital assets, to which it was applied in the Doyle case pp. 183, 185. "Derived -- from -- capital"; -- "the gain -- derived -- from -- capital," etc. Here we have the essential matter: not a gain accruing to capital, not a growth or increment of value in the investment; but a gain, a profit, something of exchangeable value proceeding from the property, severed from the capital however invested or employed, and coming in, being "derived," that is, received or drawn by the recipient (the Taxpayer) for his separate use, benefit and disposal; -- that is income derived from property. Nothing else answers the description. That Congress has power to tax stockholders upon their property interests in the stock of corporations is beyond question; and that such interests might be valued in view of the condition of the company, including its accumulated and undivided profits, is equally clear. But this would be taxation of property because of ownership, and hence would require apportionment under the provisions of the Constitution, is settled beyond peradventure by previous decisions of this court. Clearly, the definition of corporate income means a gain or profit received from an excise taxed activity. But does this same definition apply to individual income tax? To the Supreme Court again: Merchants' Loan & Trust Co. v. Smietanka 255 U.S. 509 (1921) "It is obvious that these decisions in principle rule the case at bar if the word "income" has the same meaning in the Income Tax Act of 1913 that it had in the Corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909, and that it has the same scope of meaning was in effect decided in Southern Pacific Co. v. Lowe 247 U.S. 330, 335, where it was assumed for the purposes of decision that there was no difference in its meaning as used in the act of 1909 and in the Income Tax Act of 1913. There can be no doubt that the word must be given the same meaning and content in the Income Tax Acts of 1916 and 1917 that it had in the act of 1913. When to this we add that in Eisner v. Macomber, supra, a case arising under the same Income Tax Act of 1916 which is here involved, the definition of "income" which was applied was adopted from Strattons' Independence v. Howbert, arising under the Corporation Excise Tax Act of 1909, with the addition that it should include "profit gained through sale or conversion of capital assets," there would seem to be no room to doubt that the word must be given the same meaning in all the Income Tax Acts of Congress that was given to it in the Corporation Excise Tax Act, and that what that meaning is has now become definitely settled by decisions of this Court." The word "income" has the same meaning in ALL the income tax acts of Congress. That meaning has been declared to be corporate profits and gains and has been definitely settled by the Supreme Court. So, did you have income that is taxable? Did you have a gain or profit from a corporate activity? Remember that the income tax is an excise tax on the doing of business in a corporate capacity. That is the ONLY way that you can receive taxable income, as legally defined by the Supreme Court. "Income" is legally defined as a corporate gain of profit in the Internal Revenue Code. **Nowhere is there any different definition.** (look for it!) The definition of income used in the Corporate Excise Tax Act of 1909 is the same definition used in ALL the income tax statutes. "Gross income" would then be the total income of a corporation, from all sources. "Taxable income" would therefore be corporate gross income, minus allowable deductions. Also known as profit. If a corporation had no profit, then it had no taxable income. If you are an officer of a corporation, then you had individual income that is taxable. Anytime the Internal Revenue Code mentions the word "income" it is talking about corporate income. More ---- "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration." U. S. of A. CONSTITUTION Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3: "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the states which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers..." Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4: "No capitation, or other direct tax, shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census or enumeration herein before directed to be taken." Direct taxes must be apportioned among the states, not among the people. The 16th Amendment did not change this! As we learned, the income tax is an excise tax on corporate profit, and always has been, therefore it does not need to be apportioned. Before the 16th Amendment, an individual's income was NOT taxable, either with apportionment or without. Eliminating apportionment, among the states, would still require the tax to be imposed on the states, not on the people. ------------------ If people researched the original author of the 16th amendment and read the congressional notes leading up to the passage, they would realize that the amendment was NEVER intended to TAX the people directly on wages from merely, earning a living. The wording of the amendment gives no indication to the un-trained eye that it is SPECIFIC to Capital Earnings of Corporations only! So it really looks like this: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect In-Direct Excise taxes on [Corporate] Capital Incomes, from whatever source derived, *without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.*" *The wording here only seems to apply to the People, that is the assumption which opens the door to confusion. And man are people comfused.... stop making the assumption! Ratified or not the 16th Amendment was never meant to be applied to the people of the states, until the IRS changed critical sections and wordings of the tax regulations in 1954. More on that later.

16th Amendment NEVER ratified by ANY State - Joe Banister
link to www.youtube.com
Joe Banister's explosive revelation - not only was the 16th Amendment NOT properly ratified by the required 3/4ths of the then 48 states of the United States, it was ratified by NONE of them.
In fact, Kentucky was put down as having voted FOR the amendment, when in fact it had REJECTED it.
The IRS relies on the 16th Amendment as justifying its tax-collecting powers. Since the 16th Amendment is void, so is the IRS.
Thank you for revealing this, Joe Banister.
Joe learned from Bill Benson, who has personally gone to each of the 48 states and has researched the actual voting records on the 16th Amendment. He has 17,000 historical documents showing that it was never ratified.
A federal prosecutor offered Bill a deal - a great, high-paying job and an easy treatment on tax charges - if Bill agreed to turn over his 17,000 documents to the government (to hide the fact that the 16th Amendment was never passed).

'97 XJ 2 door SOLD
I just brought a '97 2 door XJ back from Texas a few weeks ago. Not sure what I'm gonna do with it, so I figured I would see if there were any interest in it. It's RUST FREE! 4.0 auto. 2wd. This is your base model. Manual windows and locks. It does however have cruise and a/c. Both work. Red exterior. Grey interior. 188k miles. Runs along just fine. It's got some aftermarket aluminum rims on it with some mismatched 235's.
Now for the bad...it's got a burnt valve on the #1 cyl. I know this cuz the po replaced everything he could(plugs, wires, cap, rotor, even injectors) to correct the misfire. Like I said...it runs out fine. Just idles a little rough. Oh yeah...needs a windshield.
This truck is not mint by any means, but it is RUST FREE.
Last, but not least....I have probably 95% of what is needed to convert this thing to 4wd. Dana 30 with newish hubs/8.25 combo out of a '96. Stock gearing. Feel pretty good. Along with those axles go rear 4" leafs with jk shocks, 4" front coils with rough Country shocks, and even a set of front unknown brand lowers which could use bushings I'll throw in. Also.....I have a trans and case out of a '98 or '99 XJ. To top that off...I believe I have the interior pieces including shift lever. I don't have the rear shaft, but I do have the front that probably needs joints.
I would like to get $1850 for just the Jeep, or $2400 for everything. Can even help with delivery within reason.
