Change of Scenery
Don't let the sweet little coos coming from this bassinet fool you. That baby is just about to lose its mind.
Dude. I don't know how she does it. The baby, I mean. I get antsy if I'm stuck in traffic for longer than half an hour. She's been stuck in that 5-in-1 Sleep System since the day she was born. Literally.
Sure. She looks all happy and content all snuggled up in the bedside sleeper, close to mom and pop. But inside her tiny little head, she's screaming.
How would you like it, getting toted around from room to room by an ergonomically designed handle attached to a portable sleeper? Those gentle vibrations might seem like they'd be relaxing. But take it from a guy who's spent a little too much time in massage chairs. It gets old. Just look at her face right now. So sweet. So angelic. So full of rage.
But oh my! What's this? It can also be used as a changing table? Ever heard the phrase, don't $#!% where you eat? Yeah, that. Except with sleeping instead of eating. You might think she's saying "goo goo ga ga." She's not. She's saying "poo poo ca ca."
I'm telling you. Better move her from that play seat to the floor or a bouncer or something once in awhile. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you come home one day to find out she's burned the house to the ground.

Re: Adriatic Sea and Venice
While Venice is a great town the cruising grounds are a lot nicer on the East Adriatic (Slovenia and Croatia).
The Italian Northeast coast is a muddy one with lots of lagunas that is another way to say swamps. Last year I had to stay 15 days on the lacuna de Grado between Trieste and Venice and I was almost eaten alive by mosquitos.
Most Italians from the East coast cruise in Croatia or Ionian Greece.
Re: Adriatic Sea and Venice
I have sailed the eastern Adriatic. You need to be careful that time of year-especially if you are not experienced. The weather changes quite dramatically that time of yea rinthe Adriatic. The risk of experiencing a Tremontana or a Burra (Bora) is high. A Tremontana is less intense and comes from the North. A Burra (Boro) is more intense and comes from the NorthEast. When a Bora occurs there is a likelyhood of white-out conditions. A Burra creates a lot of fines sea mist causing light scattering. The results in being able differentiate the sea from the sky--it is different from being in fog.
I got hit with a Tremontana in 2006. Winds were 50+Knots. Luckily I recognized it early and took my vessel into Hvar early. Unfortunately just 2 hours later, several boats capsized and sank.
Here is some info on the weather:

Good Luck!
Adriatic Sea and Venice
My wife and I are planning a trip towards the end of November 2013. We would like to sail in the north end of the Adriatic Sea, spend some time in Venice, etc. We would be interested in bare back chartering, being crew, paying to be passengers on a smaller boat, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are very experienced coastal and pretty good blue water sailors with our own 40ft sailing cat.

PRSA Orlando Monthly Program: May 16, 2013
Thursday, May 16, 2013 from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM
Event Details
Start Local, Go Global - How Central Florida Bloggers Can Increase Your Reach
7:30-9 a.m. May 16 at the Citrus Club
Networking begins at 7:30 a.m.; the program begins promptly at 8 a.m.
A panel of Central Florida bloggers with regional and national reach will share specific insights on how they add value for brands, what they see on the horizon in their niches and in social media and what they've learned from running successful regional and national campaigns.
Our panelists include Bess Auer, Melanie Edwards and Amanda Keefer.
Bess Auer is an educator, entrepreneur, and published novelist. She got her blogging start as the founder of the Central Florida Top 5 which was awarded "Best Neighborhood Blog" by the Orlando Sentinel in 2009. She then went on to be a featured blogger for three of Chevy's "Girls on the Go" social media campaigns. Her continuous promotion of "all things local" lead Bess to found the Florida Blogger & Social Media Conference. Now in its third year, FLBlogCon features the state's biggest bloggers and social media pros at a one-day gathering for networking and exploring the digital realm. In addition to blogging, Bess is a passionate swim mom, which lead her to start FloridaSwimNetwork.com, a company that livestreams competitive swim meets from across the state of Florida. Most weekends you can find her poolside hanging with Ryan Lochte and other Olympians from the Sunshine State or working on her next book. Bess is also Park Maitland School's technology teacher who helps students learn about blogging, digital citizenship, and using mobile media.
Melanie Edwards is the founder and editor of modernmami™.com, an award-winning lifestyle blog, and owner of Ella Media. Melanie holds a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering and over 10 years experience in Information Technology. She has spoken at various social media conferences, including Type-A Parent, Blogalicious Weekend, and BlogHer. Through Ella Media, Melanie provides digital marketing services for bloggers and brands and focuses on connecting businesses with today's digital Latina. Currently, Melanie is also serving as a brand ambassador for companies such as Nintendo and Walmart. Connect with Melanie on Twitter via @ellamedia & @modernmami.
Amanda Keefer is author of The Mamma Mia Blog and also serves as the manager of public relations and social media at Produce for Kids. Amanda started The Mamma Mia Blog and an associated Twitter handle in 2008 when several of her clients had questions about blogging, bloggers and social media. She felt the best client recommendations would result from actual participation in the trend. What was a test turned out to be Nickelodeon's Top Mom Blog in Orlando in 2009. By 2010 Amanda had partnered on campaigns with several major brands such as Leapfrog, Pinkberry and Sony. Amanda landed her position with Produce for Kids as manager of public relations and social media in 2011 due to the knowledge she possessed in reaching the mom market through blogs and social outreach. She now manages a team of bloggers, known as Parents on Produce, who contribute regularly to produceforkids.com, host Twitter parties and more. She also works on healthy eating and campaign focused initiatives with national bloggers for Produce for Kids. In addition, Amanda was discovered by a SheKnows.com editor in 2011 and has since served as the SheKnows.com Orlando City Guide writer. Connect with Amanda and Produce for Kids on Twitter via @mammamiafl & @produceforkids.

The divorce rate in America alone is staggering—roughly 50% of all marriage end in divorce or an extended separation that is never resolved. In our busy life and times, the causes for this terrible statistic are many: hectic work schedules, stress, poor financial states and a variety of other issues all seem to be weakening the strength of marriage vows. Of course, marriage counselling is always a possible option, but that can get quite expensive, the costs also adding to the pressure that is already on the marriage.
There are numerous self help book and other, less expensive materials available for those that need a little marital assistance. The problems within a marriage are widely varied, and so are these products. From emotional disconnect to lacklustre heat in the bedroom...from differing opinions on childbearing to finances, everyone seems to have an opinion on how to "fix" marriages for the long term.
Aside from counselling and self-help methods, some couples often resort to spending some time apart from one another—not a technical "separation", but to simply take a break from the marriage environment. On the opposite end of the spectrum, other couples may plan a week-long getaway to a foreign destination to repair their marriage, hoping that a change of scenery and time devoted only to each other can help.
Whatever reasons you have for feeling that your marriage may be failing, there are many avenues to consider when it comes to saving your relationship with your spouse. On this page, you'll find an assortment of options that can help mend your marriage and get you headed towards marital bliss. Beyond the expensive counsellors and the looming threat of divorce, there are some legitimate measures you and your spouse can take.

Subaru Forester Owners Forum (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/)
- General Forum (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f62/)
- - My foz shrugs... ~ 1000 lbs (454 kg) of people on board, no prob. (http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f62/my-foz-shrugs-1000-lbs-454-kg-people-board-no-prob-124194/)
My foz shrugs... ~ 1000 lbs (454 kg) of people on board, no prob.
Not a big deal, probably busted the gross weight on the placard, but the other evening had company and we all piled in the Foz and went to dinner. Okay so its not that big of a deal, but that is the most weight I've had in it passenger wise, 5 people counting me driving. Rode great, didn't feel mushy, acceleration barely effected. Love this car.
Yeah, the Forester handles it all quite nicely, went up to the cabin a month or so ago with four large men (myself included), along with food, water, beer, luggage and ammunition for four days. Never even broke a sweat...
I was really impressed with the way my Outback handled tipping the GVW rating.
That's around 850lbs of wood pellet bags in the back. Add me and its around 1000lbs in the cabin.
Despite the compression of the suspension (never hit the bump stops) it handled quite well, accelerated about the same (EJ22, too) and the braking was excellent.
A little something extra in there
Actually, the girlfriend and I drove up to Portland, OR from Yuma, AZ in October which was a great drive that I would happily do again and again. But on the way back through the east end of Oregon we spotted some very nice trees that had been chopped up in a wooded area. Long story short, we got better gas mileage with about 500 pounds of tree stump sitting over the rear axel than I have ever seen in any of my foresters. She started calling it the magic tree stump because we were averaging around 29mpg from that point on, where as normally it will only do 23ish if I am being nice which I usually am not.
There were people there, no way we could have gotten it in the back ourselves. Took 4 of us to put it in there (as I said it weighs nearly 500 pounds). On the other hand, I have lived in nearly every corner of the U.S. and a few other places in the world and I would say generally that claiming someone publicly as a thief with out at least looking into things first is a bit of a faux pas.
I towed another car several miles using a tow strap...probably exceded the towing weight limits. It was a Ford Escort SW, with auto and A/C, plus a 200lb driver.
It was over 3 years ago and my subi shows no ill effects...it still has the factory clutch at 102k miles!

I was at that Boston-Oakland game! 10 years old and wetting my pants with excitement to be seeing the Red Sox at Fenway for the first time. It turned into a long afternoon.
What was the final, 21-7?
REPLY – MPC – I think you are right – Jackson one of the true prima donna's of sports
Marquette is tough to watch but they get the job done. Win and advance is the name of the game this time of year.
Arizona head coach Sean Miller appeared on Johnny Carson when he was in middle school because of his ball handling skills.
Agree on Vision Quest.
REPLY – MPC – good note on Sean Miller – he can now host the Johnny Carson show as he has time available
And this is why I follow you Mr. Connelly! Forgot all about Clark Booth. Used to love his commentary. Will have to look him up! Thanks!
REPLY – MPC – Some news station should set up a camera in Clark Booth's home and allow commentary – he would have been amazing in the sports talk shows these days

Im' sorry Dmorris, but I will have to completely dissagree with almost everything you have stated.
Originally posted by dmorris1200
Actually if you think about it, the EGR's job is to richen the mixture. [/i]
The EGR valve will not richen up the mixture. Its only function is to open when necessary, either by a vacuum signal, or electronically and recirculate exhaust gas back into the air/fuel stream to cool down the combustion temperature, which in turn will help reduce pinging, therefore resulting in a lowering of the NOX emissions. It cannot richen up the mixture. Its introducing an already burned mixture back into the engine. Its basically a neutral gas, it contains virtually no usuable oxygen or fuel.
That is why the EGR is NOT designed to work at idle and low throttle openings.
If you've ever opened an EGR valve manually at idle, what happend? The engine leans out, stumbles and usually dies if you continue to keep the valve open. Why? Because it does not contain enough oxygen or fuel to aid in further combustion.
If, in fact, it DID richen up the mixture, it would run better at idle with the valve opened and would have no negative affect at idle and low throttle openings.
That's why when it isn't working the engine runs too lean, usually pings, and fails for NOX due to increased cumbustion temps.
Sorry, but when the EGR valve fails to open, the resulting mixture is NOT diluted with exhaust gas and and will actually be marginally richer. More importantly however, the temps in the combustion chamber will still be too high, pinging may accure and NOX polutents will be high, as the engine is designed to, and will be running on the lean side anyway.
In my previous posts, I never said that a bad EGR will cause a high CO failure. I said the engine was running too rich, fuel problem,( high CO failure) and that there was most likely an EGR failure too, ( high NOX reading) Two different problems, two different emission readings and two different "fixes".
What's interesting about his failure is that a failed CO could often mean different things in different applications. Any poor combustion could raise CO's (incomplete burn of fuel mixture) but his high NOX also tells a story of a lean mixture causing high combustion temps.
First off, CO is burned gasoline.
High CO is NOT caused by incomplete combustion. If you have low CO readings, all it means is you have successfully burned all the fuel in the combustion process. Low CO readings are a good indicator of a properly set carb or injector system, showing that all the fuel has been properly burned and that the engine is not over rich.
If you have high CO readings, all that means is you have successfully burned a very rich mixture.
Second, HC ( hydrocarbons) is nothing more than raw, unburned gasoline.
Poor combustion will not raise the CO level. If you have poor combustion, as in incomplete combustion, the HC readings will be high, because you are not completely burning all the fuel, giving you raw fuel leaving the cylinder and exiting the vehicle. If the fuel is not being burned, it cannot turn into carbon monoxide, (burned fuel)
His HC readings were fine, showing that he basically had good combustion, just too much fuel in the mixture.
Were his readings at idle, at elevated rpms?
No one knows for sure. The "Grams Per Mile" test does not break it down into seperate readings. But by his readings, we do know that one:
there is too much fuel being introduced into the engine at some point, causing a high CO reading.
and two:
That it is very probable that the EGR valve is NOT doing its job, for whatever reason, resulting in higher than normal combustion temps, probable pinging and giving a high NOX reading.
High combustion temps caused by excessively lean mixtures due to a faulty EGR could also cause poor combustion events causing CO's to increase.
Again, a non-functioning EGR valve will not result in a lean mixture. It will, however, result in higher than desired chamber temps, which will increase the chance of pinging and elevated NOX readings.
Again, poor combustion will not raise the CO levels, it will raise the HC levels. ( poor combustion is the incomplete burning of the mixture, resulting in un-burned fuel, "hydrocarbons", leaving the exhaust system and giving a high HC reading.)
There are a lot of variables to this kind of stuff, it's not always as simple as 2+2=4.
Yes, there are alot of variables in this, but without knowing where the rich mixture is comming from, ( idle or cruise), its very hard to give the proper advice.
My suggestion to try to lean out the idle mix was given because that is the simplest and easyest way to affect a change in CO without going into the carb, if so equip't.
I agreed with the possibility of a faulty EGR as a possible cause but not because it causes a rich condtion. Rich conditions lower NOX readings
Again, I never stated that a faulty EGR will cause a high CO failure. I stated that he had 2 different problems, both resulting in the vehicle failing the test.
While its possible that a richer than normal mixture may result in a slightly cooler combustion chamber and lower NOX readings, at that point you would have too high of a CO reading, failing the test again.
Maintaining proper emissions is a balancing act between having just barely enough fuel in the engine to have COMPLETE combustion,(acceptable CO and HC readings.) but fighting high chamber temps and pinging at the same time.
My suggestion is to take your car to a shop that has a 2 gas analyzer and watch the CO reading as you open the EGR valve at idle. As soon as its opened, the CO will go down and the HC will go up. The mix is leaned/diluted and the amount of burned fuel goes down, ( low CO) and at the same time, the mix is too lean/diluted to COMPLETELY burn, giving you high HC readings, (raw un-burned fuel)

Just yesterday I took my 2yr old son to see a homeopathic doctor. For the last 4 months (ever since starting part-time day care) he has been sick with symptoms ranging from high fevers, ear infections and cough to diarrhea and cold sores. Sometimes it's just one or two of these symptoms, but other times (like right now)he has ALL of them. When I told the doctor that my son still wakes up every hour to nurse, she said he might not be getting enough rest and recommended night-weaning. This is something I have considered hundreds of times, because I am not getting enough sleep either. But how in the world do I do it with a child who is still SO dependent on nursing, without traumatizing him? Will he understand if I explain?
I don't believe a baby would nurse in place of needed sleep. Nursing during the night is common and normal around the world, when babies are allowed to follow their natural instincts. A reduction in your child's access to the immune-enhancing provisions of your breastmilk is not going to improve any health conditions.
More important would be checking iron levels, thyroid levels, and some other basic testing if you or the doctors believe the child is ill more often than he should be. Chances are that your son is perfectly healthy and is naturally experiencing, and developing immunities to, the spectrum of viruses that are out there in the world. Most all children experience a series of respiratory and other viruses, to varying degrees of illness, once they become exposed to numbers of other children. The frequency of his illnesses should reduce over time.
Looking for more sleep for yourself… well, night weaning does need to happen some time. Maybe it IS time for the two of you to consider gradually reducing the number of night feedings; only if it feels right to you. Your son is old enough that you can explain the situation to him. You might try suggesting that after his late night nursing, your breasts need to sleep until the sun comes up. He can look at the window to see whether it's dark or light out. You might try wearing more clothing over your breasts to mask your pheromonal signals (natural attractive odors of the breasts) during the night so your son isn't roused as often.
Hopefully your homeopath will review your son's diet to suggest any supplements that might be beneficial. Now that he's gaining less of his nutrition from your milk, he might be needing added nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D. There are certainly plenty of good herbs she can recommend to help his immune system fight a little harder.

The new State of the Internet report for Q3 2013 has been released by Akamai and it makes for very bad reading if you are an Indian. While the global average connection speeds have risen 29 percent year-over-year to 3.6Mbps in Q3 2013, the average connection speed in India is just 1.4 Mbps. That by the way is the lowest average connection speed recorded by Akamai in its survery for the Asia Pacific region. This is despite an 11% quarterly increase in the average connection speed.
The same goes for the average peak connection; India's 9 Mbps average peak connection speed was the lowest in the region and also saw a 15 percent quarterly decline. Akamai's July 2013 report had predicted that India's average connection speed will jump by over 40 percent to 1.8 Mbps in the next 12 months on the back of investments in high-speed fibre network and affordable data plans. But the real number is far lower than that expectation.
Akamai has listed 123 countries/regions that are experiencing an increase in average connection speeds year-over-year. For instance the increase is 0.5 percent in Namibia (to 1.1 Mbps) and a massive 76 percent increase in Nepal (to 3.6 Mbps). Among the nations, there are 18 nations that saw a quarter-over-quarter decline. The losses range from 0.4 percent in Bahrain (to 2.2 Mbps) to a drop of 19 percent in El Salvador (to 1.9 Mbps).
"In the third quarter of 2013, we observed that long-term growth in average and average peak connection speeds remained strong, as did growth in global broadband and high broadband adoption rates," David Belson, the report's editor, said in a statement. "We believe these trends point to continued improvement in the quality and performance of Internet connectivity in countries around the world."
The report further claims that global broadband adoption (rated at speeds of 4Mbp), increased by 5.8 percent last quarter and global high broadband (rated as 10 Mbps) witnessed 19 percent increase over the previous quarter. According to the survey, the mobile data traffic has increased by 80 percent in the last year. Akamai cites data collected by Ericsson that has disclosed a voluminous mobile data traffic jump by 80 percent year-over-year. In Q3 2013, average connection speeds on mobile network operators were ranging between 0.6 Mbps and went as high as 9.5 Mbps.

These palettes from BH Cosmetics were released recently as part of the California Makeup Collection. At only $10 each, these are a great deal! Each palette comes with 16 eye shadows and 4 blushes and are designed with California in mind. Whether you're looking for a bright and bold look, or something more soft and neutral, the California Makeup Collection can do it all!
This is the BH San Francisco palette. The outside packaging hints at what is inside- cool toned eye shadows in blues, browns and greys (and more!). This palette is a must-have for spring!
When you open up the sides, you get a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. The colors in the picture are the inspiration for the shades in this palette.
The sides are magnetized so it's easy to open and close.
As you can see, the eyeshadows on each side look quite different. The left hand side is dark and smokey and mainly matte. The right hand side has lighter shades in both matte and shimmer.
The back of the palettes states:
"Inspired by the classic San Francisco city, this palette contains eye and face colours that can transform you into a sophisticated bay area girl. Cool tones and feminine colours get you ready for gloom or shine."
I can definitely see this palette being great to use on both gloomy and bright days!
Here are close-ups of each side. I've indicated which colours are matte and which are shimmer.
If you look closely as each side, you can see that the top four eyeshadows and the bottom four eyeshadows are like separate quads. This helps to show you which eyeshadows work really well with each other.
The above photo is swatches of the eye shadows from the left side of the palette. You can see in this photo that eye shadows beside each other go well together! These are mainly matte finish and can definitely be built up for a more opaque look. My favorite color on this side is the gold one! It's very smooth and pigmented.
Here are swatches of the eyeshadows from the right side of the palette. These are mainly shimmery, but there are some matte finish ones as well. The pigmentation of the shimmery eyeshadows is great and they're easy to blend. The matte mint green is a classic spring colour.
I recommend wearing these eyeshadows with some sort of eye primer or cream base. This will make them last longer and remain crease-free! The BH Cosmetics Eye and Lip Primer and Eye Crayons are examples, but anything similar will work.
When you open up the middle part of the palette, four blushes are revealed. This palette has a great mix of colors which you can use to highlight and add color to your cheeks. There is also a good-sized mirror inside making this palette great for those of you always on-the-go!
Although these are labelled as blushes, the top two can definitely be used as a highlighter and/or a bronzer. This quad of face powders has a great combination of neutrals and brights, making it a versatile palette that can be used anytime, any day!
In this photo, the first two are the highlight colours and the last two are the blush colours. I really like the second peachy-coloured one! I think it'd be a great highlighter to use in the summer to give you a nice glow.
If you're looking for a palette that can take you from rain to shine or day to night, this palette is for you! It's small and compact, has a great mirror and is filled with a variety of colours to choose from.

Another birthday! I am eight today. Last year, I survived breast cancer and the untimely death of my younger brother Luc. I am in great health now. But I do still miss my brother very, very much. He was so much fun and we always had a great time playing and cuddling together. He sure packed a very big personality into twenty two pounds. Luc, I will never forget you and I wish you were here. It's my first birthday without you.
Today is my birthday. 7 years old! I do not feel (or look) a day over 3.
I am getting a new toy (I hope) and there should be a extra round of treats all around for me and my gang.
today is my birthday! I am Frenchie! Hear me roar!
I am in this new Frenchie book entitled Frenchie Kisses that was just published this month. I am in the group photo near the very beginning of the book.
How do you like those apples?

Oil Leak,whats the best way to go about fixing it?
Hey everyone.I got a 65 Impala with a 327.I found out that my oil is leaking out because I have a broken bolt on my Timing chain cover.The bolt head snapped off so its now tight it that spot.I was told I could tap it out if I drill out the old bolt and use a self tapping bolt.Will this work?If I try to drill out the old bolt,will and metal shaving get in the engine?Also,I have a leak on my Transmission.Its leaking right where one of the bolts are that hold the transmission pan.Could it be that the gasket is broke in that spot?If anyone has some info please let me know.Thanks,
Getting a timing cover bolt out with the engine in the car isn't gonna be to easy do to space constrants.Probably your best bet is to remove to the timing cover and drill a small hole in the bolt and use an easy out. Becareful though you don't wanna break the easy out in the bolt as they are amost impossible to drill through. Being a timing cover bolt chances are that it shouldn't be to hard to get out. This is the rout I would try first
Well the bolt is closer to the top of timing chain cover.If I take off the cooling fan and the water pump I can get to it.What is an easy out?I never heard of that before.How does it work?Thanks,
broken bolt
after you get the timing cover off, cover everything on the front of the engine with rags, and especially around the front of the oil pan, before you start drilling into that bolt. Before you try to take it out, squirt some thread buster or rust buster stuff on it and let it soak for a day. Shoot it 3-4 times and let it soak in first.
If you have enough of the bolt sticking out, you may be able to get a set of vice grips on it. That will save you a lot of drilling, etc.
At anyrate soak it good with a solvent made for loosening bolts etc.
An easy out looks something like a dull drill bit with 4 twisted flukes on it. There are several sizes of them. You will want one that starts out with a tip somewhat smaller than the hole you drill but tapers up to a larger size than the hole. You can get them at any hardware store.
The flukes have a left hand twist to them vs the right hand twist of the threads on your bolt. As you turn the easy out into the hole, turning it counterclockwise, it will tighten into the bolt and hopefully it will break it loose and you can turn it out.
If your bolt is not broken off smooth across the tip, you will want to file or grind it down smooth so you can center punch it in order to get a drill bit to take a bite in it.
Im thinking that is a 1/4 inch bolt so you will want to start by drilling a 1/16th pilot hole in the bolt then go up to an 1/8th inch drill bit. be careful to drill it straight in or when you put the easy out into it, and turn it, the bolt may crack out on you.
You will want to drill in at the very least an inch.
easy outs usually come in a kit of 4 or 5. The larger easy outs have more flukes on them.
They will have a square end on them to use with either a tap drive or use with wrench that will fit the flats of the end.
drilling a bolt like that out is always an option, however i always leave that for last. what i do first is soak the sucker in oil for a few days. then i clean the broken area out as good as i can then i weld a nut onto the broken shank of the bolt and with heat and oil i gently work the bolt out. loosening then tighting, going back and forth as i spray oil (good PENETRATING oil) like kroil, or PB blaster. if she is still stuck i sometimes get a hammer and give the bolt a few raps, sometimes this is just enough to break it loose. then you continue turning the bolt back and forth tell she comes out.
if this does not work THEN i would file the shank flat, then get a punch and make a punch mark directly in the center. do a good job the first time because its hard to correct yourself. then i use a REVERSE drill bit to try to drill though, use a smaller bit, like a 1/16 then drill again with a 1/8 then use the easy out.
hope this helps
oh and about your tranny, i would just replace the gasket, it wouldn't hurt to change the fluid and filter to while your down their :-)
oh and i almost forgot, if you are REALY lucky sometimes if you spray carb cleaner at the broken bolt (to clean the area) and you pull out a dental pick and push on the edge of the bolt and turn. SOMETIMES (rarely) it starts to back out! i have dont this a few times, saved my rear... worked when other things couldn't have.

Just to add a little to Old Schools Suggestions,drill it slowly if you have a speed setting.That way your shavings will come out in longer threads instead of a lot of little shavings.If you have a magnet,lay it under your drilling area,but make sure everything is covered well.Use a new bit,preferably one specifically for metal,like a cobalt bit. A left handed bit can grab and bring the broken piece right on out,it will not always do that,but it is nice when it does.
one more old school,
the block expands much more than the bolt with heat, spray it with blaster then warm up the motor, spray it again, do it again the next day and the next to work the blaster into the threads.
when you do try all the above good ideas for getting the bolt out, do have the block good and warm.
Broken bolt removal
Old school, RC, and red65, all have good suggestions. Slap me for not thinking to write them myself.
Also if you can avoid it do NOT remove the timing chain until the bolt has been drilled. not always the case but if possible leave it on while drilling.
it's that CRS....Max...
I'll add one more way, not enough for vice grips but some exposed.
I use a 2" long piece of a file to make a screwdriver slot in the end of the bolt.
Use a right angle screw driver, push hard and turn slowly while a friend tap tap taps sharply on the bend on the driver.
CRS and stuff
Thats a good one red65

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Randy Johnson will turn 43 before his next start. The Big Unit threw 42 an impressive going-away party.
Johnson took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and Jorge Posada backed him with a pair of three-run homers in the New York Yankees' 8-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday.
"It's remarkable, it really is," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "For power pitchers to pitch into their 40s -- Roger (Clemens) did it, Nolan (Ryan) did it, (Steve) Carlton tried to do it -- it's certainly not something that comes down the pipe all the time."
Johnson (16-10) didn't give up a hit until David DeJesus tripled to deep left-center leading off the seventh inning. Center fielder Johnny Damon slid to keep the ball from going by him, but came up well short.
"I was trying to get there," Damon said. "I kind of stabbed my glove, because I knew as soon as it hit the ground it was going to take off. I was just hoping to stop it, but I saw the replay and it was 10 to 12 feet."
Earlier Wednesday, Florida's Anibal Sanchez pitched a no-hitter against Arizona, the first no-hitter in the major leagues since Johnson's perfect game for Arizona at Atlanta on May 18, 2004.
"I was coming up here between innings when I saw it," Johnson said. "Congratulations to him."
Johnson, 5-1 in his last six starts, allowed just the one hit and struck out eight in seven shutout innings, walking two. He had faced the minimum 18 batters before the triple -- he walked Emil Brown in the second, but Ryan Shealy grounded into an inning-ending double play.
"I warmed up good, and the slider was probably my best pitch tonight," Johnson said. "I was able to locate my fastball a couple of pitches up and away, and then I had good defense. Jorgie called a great game and then did everything by himself pretty much, offensively."
After his triple, DeJesus was picked off third by Posada.
"I was just too aggressive when my run didn't matter at all," DeJesus said. "It was one of those things where it was a stupid mistake by me. I take full blame for it."
At least DeJesus' hit kept Torre from having to decide whether to conserve Johnson's arm or let him try for the first double no-hit day in the majors since Oakland's Dave Stewart and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Fernando Valenzuela on June 29, 1990. That feat came 27 days after Johnson's first career no-hitter, for Seattle against Detroit.
"I'm not sure he wants to pitch a no-hitter at this point in time," Torre said with a laugh. "Whatever we can keep in the tank is probably going to help us later on. But yeah, if he's pitching a no-hitter -- I have to get back to New York, you know."
Johnson didn't mind coming out after seven.
"Probably the only reason I was out there was to see what would have happened," he said. "At this point, to go deep, deep in the game when we've got that kind of lead -- if the bullpen's rested, it's not that important for me to get a complete game."
Johnson stood in the dugout at times between innings, rather than sitting.
"My body's pretty sore right now," he said.
The Royals, on their way to another 100-loss season, were at least spared the embarrassment of being half the answer to a trivia question.
"Yeah, we were aware of it," designated hitter Mike Sweeney said. "Obviously, we didn't want to be the receivers of a dubious honor."
Derek Jeter extended his hitting streak to a career-high 17 games, going 2-for-4. He raised his batting average to .344, one point behind Minnesota's Joe Mauer, the AL leader.
Runelvys Hernandez (5-9) allowed five runs and seven hits in six innings.
Posada's first homer made it 5-0 in the sixth inning and his second boosted the margin to 8-0 in the eighth against Jose Diaz, who made his major league debut. It was the 13th multihomer game for Posada, the first since April 9 against the Los Angeles Angels.
"He's been swinging the bat really well over the last three or four days," Torre said. "He was struggling a little bit before that but right now he's putting good swings on the ball."
Melky Cabrera's RBI single put the Yankees up 1-0 in the second inning and Jeter made it 2-0 with an RBI double in the fifth.
John Buck hit an RBI single in the eighth off Scott Proctor, and Esteban German hit a two-run homer against Kyle Farnsworth in the ninth.
- Diaz was the 30th pitcher the Royals used this season, a club record.
- Jeff Keppinger, recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Aug. 25, started at third base in place of the injured Mark Teahen. Teahen, the Royals' leader in home runs (18) and slugging percentage (.519), will have season-ending surgery on Friday to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
- New York's Jason Giambi broke an 0-for-21 hitless streak with a double to center in the sixth inning.
- DeJesus made two nifty defensive plays in center, both at the expense of Robinson Cano. DeJesus threw out Cano as he tried to score on Cabrera's RBI single in the third, then made a running grab at the warning track on Cano's long fly ball in the sixth.

Conservatives who denounced previous CBS poll now mum on latest poll showing same results
Research ››› ››› ROB MORLINO
A March 13 CBS News poll showed President Bush's approval rating at 34 percent -- unchanged from a February 28 CBS poll, despite a substantial increase in the number of Republicans polled relative to Democrats and independents. Conservative media figures attacked the earlier poll's validity, arguing that CBS' sample included a higher percentage of Democrats than they contended accurately reflected the general population. Now that CBS has released an updated poll showing that a roughly equal percentage of Democrats and Republicans produced the same approval rating for Bush, will the same media figures who denounced the prior poll report on the newest results?
A March 13 poll released by CBS News showed President Bush's approval rating at 34 percent, unchanged from CBS' previous poll released on February 28, despite a substantial increase in the number of Republicans polled relative to Democrats and independents. As Rolling Stone contributing editor Eric Boehlert noted on the Huffington Post weblog, despite "the nearly 30 percent increase in Republicans, [and] the 10 percent decrease in Democrats" in the new CBS poll, Bush's approval numbers "did not budge one inch." Upon the earlier poll's release, as Media Matters for America noted, conservative media figures attacked the poll's validity, arguing that CBS' sample included a higher percentage of Democrats than they contended accurately reflected the general population. Boehlert noted that the "silence from the Republican noise machine has been deafening" since the updated poll's release.
As Media Matters noted, conservatives launched unfounded attacks on the February 28 CBS poll, which showed that Bush's approval rating had sunk to the lowest of his presidency. Republican strategist Richard A. Galen observed in a column for the conservative Cybercast News Service that the adjusted percentages in the poll -- 37 percent Democrats and 28 percent Republicans -- did in fact reflect the proportion of Democrats and Republicans in the general population. And pollster Mark Blumenthal noted on the Mystery Pollster weblog that, even if the sample were weighted to make it more closely reflect previous CBS poll samples, the results would likely be similar because of Bush's low approval among independents. As Mystery Pollster has also noted, CBS weights its polls based on demographics, not political affiliation.
Now that CBS has released an updated poll showing that a roughly equal percentage of Democrats and Republicans produces the same approval rating for Bush, those same media figures who denounced the prior poll have yet to report on the newest results.* Below are their prior denunciations:
- Rush Limbaugh, from the February 28 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show: "This is not representative of the -- of the population of the country in any way, shape, manner, or form. Nor is the fact that Bush has 34 percent. ... You just know that's not possible. It simply isn't possible." During the March 14 broadcast of his radio show, Limbaugh again referred to CBS' "bugged poll" showing a Bush approval rating of 34 percent.
- Fox News host Sean Hannity, from the February 28 edition of Hannity & Colmes: "Look at, for example, you have these polls that came out today in CBS. And if you look at the headline, it says, "Bush lowest number in his presidency." The first thing we find out that nearly two to one they polled Democrats."
- Fox News host Brit Hume, from February 28 edition of Special Report with Brit Hume: "Yes, there's good reason to be skeptical of this CBS poll. It's wildly oversampled Democrats, it appears, anyway."
- Fox News host John Gibson, from the February 28 edition of The Big Story with John Gibson: "A new CBS News poll puts the president's job approval number at an all-time low, 34 percent. Of course, it's weighted with more Democrats, so you've got to take that into account."

Today, I'll refer you to as essay that came out today at First Things: Dead White Guys.The essay is autobiographical, sharing some of the perils of the academy and the predicament of late modernity in the West. Here's an excerpt: I learned—primarily from white men—what a wretched thing my newly acquired Western canon was. And how disempowered I had been at the hands of Homer, Augustine, and Dante.

Malaysia's oldest nomads struggle to find a home
By Razak Ahmad
GUA MUSANG, Malaysia (Reuters) - For thousands of years, Malaysia's nomadic Batek tribe have roamed the country's ancient tropical rainforests, completely at one with their natural habitat.
But now the Batek's traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle is under severe threat from deforestation and development, and mainland Malaysia's last nomadic community may soon have no choice but to abandon their traditional life and settle down.
"We are just guardians of the forest and we cannot take more than we need," said Hamdan Keladi, a Batek headman in Gua Musang district about 500 km (310 miles) northeast of Kuala Lumpur.
"But town people come here and take everything like the trees and pollute the river with development, so I don't know how long we can continue to roam the forests."
The plight of the Batek is not unique.
The United Nations has warned that the impact of deforestation and desertification could displace 50 million people globally by next year and will address the issue at its climate change conference in Copenhagen in December.
The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization's Global Forest Resource Assessment 2005 report said the rate of negative change in the extent of Malaysia's primary forests increased to 140,000 hectares per year between 2000 and 2005, from 78,000 hectares between 1990 and 2000.
With their habitat shrinking, Hamdan leads 30 families who for the past year have set up a village they hope to call home in a clearing next to the entrance of the Kuala Koh National Park in the northeastern peninsular Malaysian state of Kelantan. Continued...
