Rockies upend Pirates with three-run eighth inning
Jose Veras regrets only two pitches he threw in the eighth inning Saturday of the Pirates' 6-4 loss against the Colorado Rockies.
"Two pitches cost three runs," Veras said. "Two pitches cost us the game."
The second was the most costly. It was supposed to be a fastball away, but Ty Wigginton lashed it down the third base line for a two-out, three-run double that broke a 3-3 tie.
But the pitch that hurt Veras the most, the one that should never have happened, was a 1-1 fastball that grazed Jose Lopez. That loaded the bases with two outs, setting up Wigginton's clutch hit.
"I tried to come in and set up my breaking ball, maybe (get) a broken-bat rollover," Veras said. "That was the pitch that cost me the game."
Veras has a dynamite fastball, but he also has battled control problems throughout his six-year career. The first two batters he faced reached base via a walk and a single, but then Veras struck out Troy Tulowitzki and Seth Smith.
"Almost got out of the jam," Veras said.
After Lopez was hit, pitching coach Ray Searage went out to calm Veras.
"He got into a rhythm where he was overthrowing," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He just wasn't finishing pitches. He missed his location on the pitch (to Wigginton)."
Wigginton jumped on the first pitch and sent a rocket past third baseman Pedro Alvarez.
"The only way Pedro makes that play is if he's straddling the third base line," Hurdle said.
Pirates starter Charlie Morton had some rough spots, but he was able to keep innings from becoming meltdowns. The right-hander worked seven innings — much needed, as the bullpen was weary after the 14-inning game Friday — and allowed three runs (two earned) and five hits.
"He basically threw one pitch all night," catcher Ryan Doumit said. "He basically threw a sinker, and they couldn't do much with it."
There was a downside, though.
"I walked five guys again," Morton said. "That's something I've got to work on, being more consistent with my delivery. I wasn't overwhelmed or anything; more frustrated, not being able to get the ball over the plate."
It was the second straight start in which Morton's issued five walks. Most of the balls came off his sinker, especially against right-handed batters.
"If the plate was moved over a foot toward the right-hander's batter's box, I'd be in a lot better shape," Morton said. "I wasn't spraying balls everywhere. I was missing down and in to righties and away to lefties."
Only two of Morton's first 13 pitches were strikes. Dexter Fowler walked, stole second and went to third on catcher Ryan Doumit's wild throw. Jonathan Herrera walked on four pitches.
But on a 3-0 count, Gonzalez hacked at a sinker and bounced into a double play. Fowler scored, but what might have been a big inning for the Rockies was short-circuited.
In the second inning, Morton threw seven pitches, four of them in the zone, for a 1-2-3 frame.
The Pirates took a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the second. Lyle Overbay doubled and scored on Doumit's homer.
After getting two quick outs in the third, Morton walked Fowler and gave up singles to Herrera and Gonzalez. That tied the game, 2-2.
In the sixth, Colorado's Seth Smith slammed a solo homer to right-center field. The ball bounced on the concourse and rolled downhill toward the Allegheny River, directly to a man standing along the water's edge.

A 15-year-old boy got stuck after trying to enter his home through the chimney.
The boy came home from school and realized that he had been locked out of the house. Not wanting to wait for his mother, Tammi, to return home, the teenage boy climbed onto the roof and started down the chimney. The chimney proved to be too tight of a space for the boy and he ended up getting stuck. When Tammi came home she heard her son calling for her from the chimney. She tried pulling on his arm to get him out, but it didn't work. After her failed effort to free her son, Tammi called the local fire department and they got the boy out in about five minutes. The teenager has a few scratches to show from his time in the chimney, but he is otherwise unharmed, reports ABC News.
After the boy was freed from the chimney, his mother told him "That was the stupidest thing you've ever done in your whole life."

i have a e39 528i with an inline 6 and was wondering how to bleed the cooling system i am new to the BMW world of DIY mechanics i can do most of the work with just a little instruction and help i am changing the water pump and thermostat also so any info and pics would be a great help and appreciation
Another bit the dust...
I've been trying to track down a clunking noise at low rpm's, suspecting the water pump for a while. Yesterday it got really bad, so on the way home I stopped at the dealer and got a new water pump, belt, pulley, etc... (I just replaced the fan clutch and blades last october when I replaced the alternator, so I figured they're still good). After I left the dealer, I was getting onto the freeway when I noticed my temp sensor going up fast. I pulled off to the shoulder, popped the hood and saw that I had shredded my pump had seized, shredding the belt and wrapping it around the clutch. The bearings had separated and I could see rust and corrossion around the balls Anyway... towed it home and am currently enjoying a post pump beer. Thanks for all the hints and help, guys!
FYI, this might be unique on my car (cuz it isn't confirmed on RealOEM) but... those of you asking how to take the 32mm fan clutch nut off: The pulley uses two sizes of bolts to hold it on, one set is short and black, the other is gold and long. Gold @ 12 & 6, black @ 3 & 9. You can loosen the gold bolts to give you a place to use a universal fan clutch wrench (rented one at Checker for a $50 deposit, free on return). If I had been thinking, I'd have taken pictures. Beats the hell out of beating the hell out of your fan clutch nut / wp bearings with a sledge and static friction.
Cost of cooling system overhaul
Guys, anyone have an idea of what a fair price for cn90s cooling overhaul on a 2003 530i at a bmw mechanic (non dealer)? I'm trying to get an idea of how much extra I need to pay to guarantee I don't screw up my car trying it myself!
2003 530i AT, Premium Package, Sports Package, Xenon
55K New Tires
62K O&F, AF, CAFs, PSF Topup(leakage)
Probably $600-$800 for complete cooling system,
You sure? I would also like to know, was quoted $2k for the job by an indy. This included
Water pump
Three pulleys for belt
All hoses
Anyone else?
Flat5, What did you do to fix your coolling system? I did not see more posting on this. I am in similar situation with my 2002 525i. Pondering how to fix cheap, but sure not to mix up.
Is there a beltdrive layout for an '02 530iA? I couldn't find one here using the search function.
BMW '00 740il w/230,xxx miles, DIY timing chain guides complete! M60 Manifold, BDC Throttle Body, Performance gearing 3.46 LSD, Magnaflow Mufflers
BMW '97 ///M3/2/5 w/105,xxx miles
BMW '06 X3 w/130,XXX
I had absolutely no issue getting my fan off. However mine was still intact as I had caught it early. All I did was put the 32mm wrench on the nut and then take a hammer and strike the wrench end about 7 times firmly. The pulley would turn some but the force of the strike broke it free and that was without using WD40 or the like. The fan shouldn't be torqued down at all since the direction the belt travels constantly tightens it. Another note: be careful to separate the pipes behind the pump without pulling them out from where that attach in the rear. I hear they can be a bitch to get back in.
Anyway thanks again for all the write ups folks! For my next trick I think I'm going to tackle my clutch!!!!
I had the great luck of being on the side of I-75 in Atlanta last night during a snowstorm because something went wrong with my coolant system. While driving I saw steam escaping out the back of the car. At first it seemed like just exhaust escaping in cold weather but then it increased in seconds to a cloud of steam. I quickly darted over to the side of the road and turned off the car. Then, when I checked under the hood I saw a splitting belt and a bit of melting rubber around the waterpump/fan clutch. So, I was pretty sure it was the Waterpump, but on hindsight I question the fan clutch too.
But neither bothered me as much as the dealership-recommended tow truck driver who decided it was best to DRIVE my car onto the flatbed. I was in shock, but realized it was like screaming at the chef before he's done making your meal. You could make it worse. So I drove quietly with him to the dealership biting my lip the whole time and thinking "at least he only has to coast it down off the back now." Oh no, he decided once he had it lowered that it was blocking another car, so HE STARTS IT UP AGAIN AND DRIVES ROUND THE CORNER TO A PARKING SPOT.
At this point I was furious and laid into him while the front desk assistants from the now-closed BMW service area watched. I made certain of this because I needed witnesses. He was originally rude, then 10 minutes later called to apologize. I'm a fair man, so right now I am going to describe to the service area what he did, but not yet go into detail on how he acted. But if anything else was impacted by this I'm gonna go nuts on this guy and the dealership for recommending him.
Resurrecting this thread for advice specific to the waterpump. Planning on completing my overhaul with the water pump, belts and hoses in the next couple of weeks. Was curious, my indy just did the coolant flush in February 2010 and since I've never done a flush would prefer to leave that piece of the puzzle alone.
So, I know that once I pull the waterpump out, coolant will come gushing out, but can I just put the new pump in, fill and bleed the system to top off the coolant and be done with it, or will I need to do a complete system flush as called for in the DIY?

M52TU Cooling System by Aioros: (M54 is almost the same as M52TU):
When people refer to changing the "pulleys" which pulleys are they talking about exactly? Is it good practice to change the tensioner pulleys or inspect them and change them only if there is play or something wrong with them?
Look at the layout.
A pulley is basically bearing covered with a plastic wheel on the outside.
Sometimes a pulley comes with the tensioner (such as mechanical tensioner).
Cars with Hydraulic tensioners: tensioner is sold separately from pulley.
Have a look at aioros DIY as well.
I just overhauled my entire cooling system on my 2001 530i. It went pretty well...no leaks thus far. For this car, I noted some differences from cn90's most excellent write-up:
Regarding the reservoir and its small hose that attaches to the opposite side of the radiator: I found attaching this hose to the reservoir first was significantly easier than any other method. I didn't have the room to attach the hose to the reservoir (with it attached to the radiator first) because the length of the hose was too short and the shroud was in the way. I used a stick to keep the shroud raised up to allow me to attach the other end of the hose to the radiator second...MUCH EASIER.
Also, pick up two "BMW" hose clamps for the reservoir hose. The ones we typically get at the auto/hardware store just can't take what I feel is the required torque to cinch these hoses down good. I went to my dealer and it took him some time to locate the screw type that was roughly the same size as the original crimp style that came from the factory. Here is the part number: 07 12 9 952 104 from the fuel filter diagram (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...18&hg=13&fg=10). Yeah, they were a tad pricey at the dealer at around $3 each but worth it for no leaks, right?!
I did not bother filling the system with new fluid until everything was done and completed...it was just easier. I was able to put 11.1 quarts of fluid in relatively easily. I filled the system VERY SLOWLY through the bleeder screw hole on the upper radiator hose...agonizingly slowly. I was hoping if I did this that I wouldn't trap air. I left the reservoir cap and its bleeder screw there open the whole time and air was bubbling out as I slowly filled. After that, it was a matter of running the engine, heater on high set to 90F, and then keep checking the fluid level off and on and after a cycle or two of this over a couple hours, I had all 11.1 quarts into the system. I suggest you keep careful track of the amount so that you are sure.
Finally, attached is a pic of a cheap plumber's tool that will aid you in knocking the fan bolt loose in 10 s...along with a 1 1/4" wrench if you don't have a 32 mm one.

Thanks so much, i guess no one else has written a DIY on the V8. looking forward to tackling this job very soon
Friggen great help this form rocks i have used the info for a alt and now the cooling system thanks
I'll update the recommended cooling system parts list.
PS: Someone take a picture of that tool in use so we can see how it works!

Well, I don't plan to visit the cooling system again for at least another 100k miles but I'll try to use words to describe how to use the strainer wrench to hold the pulley while wrenching on it.
Simply hook the notched end of the tool on a nut on the pulley and the swing arm gets hooked on the opposite nut. That is it...you can now hold the pulley in place and knock the nut loose with a wrench.
This plumber's tool is made for removing large diameter locking rings (i.e. large plastic "nuts") on sink drains and what not. Some of those are quite large in diameter and the swing arm makes the tool universal for many different sizes.

I did my full cooling system overhaul a couple weeks ago. 2002 530i Automatic, 75,000 miles. Tips, I agree with everyone here, do it all at once. Use the best parts and rest easy after.
My radiator split causing this need.
I did not have a tool for the fan clutch but taking a long 15mm box end wrench I put the box end over one of the four 10mm fan pulley mounting bolts and rotated the wrench till the shaft contacted the hub center.
This worked as a lever to hold the water pump firmly in place while I hit the long 1 1/4 wrench with a rubber mallet to losen the fan clutch. One hard whack had it loose. ( 1 1/4 worked and fit perfectly, I did not have a 32mm open end ) It spun off fine. I did use anti-seize on the new water pump hub so the clutch would not be an issue should I ever have to revisit.
I read the posts about quickly installing the fan clutch back on the water pump. I tried once to see how hard it might be and it went on with no issue or strain. I was prepared for using the string trick but did not need it. I had the radiator out for replacement so I had extra room.
I found an oil leak behind the Oil filter housing and pulled it for a clean and new gasket. No more leaks!
Pulled the PS tank hose and replaced the clamp, no more leak.
Found a rats nest in my Air Filter box, removed it, that should help air flow.
Two hoses on the 530i were hard to find.
Part number WO133-1792583 Engine to Heater Control Valve 31.94
Part number WO133-1792584 Heater core to Radiator Tank return line 35.94
My 530i has the 3 heater inlet/outlet ports on the drivers side of the engine compartment side by side. Most photo's I saw only show 2 with the third hose bib on the pass side. 540i design maybe?
These are in addition to all the Hoses included in most of the kits.
Radiator to Thermostat, upper and lower.
Exp tank to the aux pump
Exp tank to Heater core, this is the first half, a second goes actually to the core.
Two more heater hoses, Valve to heater core Left and Right
Aux pump to engine

I successfully completed most of the overhault (skipped rollers and hoses) about 2 weeks ago and haven't had any issues since. For the record I am NOT a DIY expert and prior to owning my BMW (bought 3 months ago) I had never even changed oil on a car. That said, despite being intimidated at first, this was really not all that bad. I completed my overhaul in 3 nights working maybe 2 hours at a time and being very very careful about everything.
Some notes for future DIY-ers include:
1. Fan clutch nut on my 2001 525i apparently had a more difficult seize than many others. As a result the BMW 1703 tool was extremely useful and much more successful than the screwdriver method in the DIY. My seize was so hard that I actually had to resort to setting up the 1703 and bracing it against a maglite in the engine bay and striking the 32mm wrench clockwise with a rubber hammer a few times. After at least an hour of fussing with it this was the only way I was able to break the seize. I bought my 1703 on ebay for about $30 but neglected to check if Autozone and the like had it available for loan.
2. Rethreading said fan clutch was somewhat frustrating. You have to set it on the nut "just so" where it won't fall off at all, spin it clockwise, and hope that it doesn't slip. I bet this took at least 20 minutes.
3. I happen to have mechanical tensioners on my bimmer and it is important to note that these required a T50 TORX screw rather than an 8mm Hex screw as noted in the guide. I very strongly recommend anyone with mechanical tensioners, who are not replacing them, to buy a T50 bit or a set of them instead of the Torx keys. It would be extremely difficult to release the tension using a key. I bought a large set of Torx bits for about $10 at Autozone.
4. Water pumps, at least at the time I did my overhaul, seem to have gone up considerably in price. Even the OEM one is over $100 everywhere I checked and I've heard bad things about the Graf. I picked up a Bosch 96101 on Amazon.com for only about $50 and feel really good about it. Compared to the OEM Behr part it was almost identical save for the *****colored (brass?) impeller. It came with the gasket, too, so no need to order a new one. I couldn't find much info on if this unit was good or not but I optimistically took it as a good sign since enthusiasts regularly complain about the subpar parts. Even if it fails in the near future, at 1/3 of the price of most OEM-quality models, I think I'll be satisfied with it.
5. As far as the coolant goes, I would recommend just buying BMW coolant. I bought the yellow Prestone extended life coolant for CHEAP ($12-5 MIR!!!) and ended up returning it after doing a lot of research. There just isn't a definitive answer from other enthusiasts on a suitable alternative for BMW coolant and I decided not to risk it. The coolant in my car at the time was also not OEM since it was a bright green color (Peak maybe?) and that also spurred my decision to only use the real thing. $21.95 per gallon at the local dealer (I used about 1.25 gallons myself). A lot more spendy than the practically free Prestone but a cheap investment for peace of mind.
A couple of great resources that also helped me out during the overhaul include:
1. Pelican Parts 3 series cooling system DIY.
Can't find the link for this one but it was for an e39 or e346. Almost identical to procedure on e39 and includes some really good pictures.
Great video for cooling system bleeding which is something I was paranoid about doing incorrectly. I followed this procedure exactly and had 0 problems with air bubbles, etc.
I just did this overhaul over the weekend to my wife's '97 528i. Thank you all so much for the information! Here are a few things I ran into and the alternative steps I had to take:
* The cheapest place I could find all of the parts in the correct brands and free shipping was here:
* I ordered this wrench (due to the low price) from Amazon for the clutch nut removal:
Unfortunately, the wrench was too wide to fit without sticking. The fix...using a bench grinder, I ground off about 1-2mm off of each side of the open end. It fits perfectly now.
* I wasn't able to find a clutch holding tool for rent/loan from an auto parts vendor, so I ended up making my own. I took a very old steel square edge and drilled two holes for the bolt heads. After this, I grinded again with the wheel to create the arch between the holes for the center of the water pump shaft. This tool also came in quite handy when removing the bolts from the water pump pulley. I'll try to add a picture of the tool, if I can ever remember.
* Our 528i has a mechanical tensioner for the water pump/alt/PS pump belt, and there is a hydraulic one for the A/C belt. The hydraulic tensioner pulley did not want to break loose. At first I wondered if maybe I'd done something wrong. After reading, they just like to be stubborn. Thus, a nice long persuasion pipe on the end of my ratchet did the trick.
Just thought I'd throw out this info, in case it might help someone.

E39 Water Pump Removal reccomendations
Go buy or build a tool to hold the pump pulley wheel AND get a 32mm wrench (thin). Both are available on Ebay for about $45 including shipping. I built the pulley holding tool many years ago for my 1970 BMW2002 and have been using it ever since. My tool just broke on my 540i so I had to rebuild it by drilling two 7/16" holes 38mm apart and a C-shaped cutout between the two bolt holes whose circular diameter is 38mm as well. I bought a piece of iron bar about 2' long and 3/16" thick with a width of about 1". Alternatively, you can take out 1 bolt on the pulley and bolt on a tool with a 6mm (1/4") hole at one end of the same bar dimensions given. Do not expect to be able to undo the 32mm bolt with your normal human stregth alone; you need to use an impact technique to loosen the bolt. This is done using a hammer on the wrench to loosen the bolt while holding the homemade tool (or purchased one). REMEMBER THAT THE BOLT LOOSENS IN THE CLOCKWISE DIRECTION ON THE WATER PUMP PULLEY! Sometimes the bolt has been on way too tight and it took a lot of hammering to get it off. My 540i bolt was way overtightened.
Next. on the California and I assume other US cars, there is an exaust air pipe that goes around the entire front of the engine. A bolt on each side of this air pipe lets it be taken off prior to removing the water pump. The bolts are just an inch or two behind the front plane of the engine on either side of the engine. There are two small o-ring type gaskets on this pipe that must be present upon re-installation.
Before pulling off the water pump, make sure the two metal pipes exiting the rear of the water pump stay in their positions and are not pulled free from their rear connections. I used a channel lock wrench to attempt to hold the smaller pipe in but was unsuccessful. The larger pipe stayed in. I would recommend using two hose clamps mounted on the pipes to provide a place for a screwdriver to be able to keep them back while the water pump is extracted from it's position.
Now, I am waiting for parts...

A $79 million institutional offering was oversubscribed by investors , a point PrimeAg chairman-in-waiting
"The offer received significant support from both existing and new institutional investors," Mr Corbett said. "The response is a clear vote of confidence in PrimeAg's growth strategy."
PrimeAg and the Future Fund want to take advantage of weak prices for more than $1 billion worth of prime cropping properties and water entitlements at a time when heightened concern over foreign sovereign wealth funds buying land in Australia has led to a Senate inquiry.
However, some shareholders are unhappy with the plan for Prime Ag to tap them for $125 million of fresh capital for the fund at discounted prices when the shares are already trading below their asset backing.
Shareholders are paying $1.08 a PrimeAg share, against pre-issue closing price of $1.19 and net tangible assets of $1.51.
At that price, United States-based adviser Perry Capital, which has been guaranteed a 9.9 per cent share of the issued capital post raising, would be "gifted'' $11.3 million on a $28.3 million investment, critics of the issue said.
Peter Corish, who is moving from chairman to chief executive after the departure of John Stewart this week, said the structure of the capital raising was agreed on the advice of investment bank UBS which has fully underwritten the raising.
Institutional investors such as Guinness Peat Group, which is in the middle of winding down its $1 billion investment portfolio, are furious about the deal.
Australian Food & Fibre Ltd's David Robinson has called a meeting to oust the board, including Mr Corish and Mr Corbett , but has not nominated replacements except himself.
AFF, which increased its stake in PrimeAg to 10.3 per cent in March, is regarded as a retail investor and has to decide whether to come up with $12 million to participate in the retail offer which opens on July 29.
"Like the institutions, we will probably be forced into following up our investment as well," he said.
"Most of the institutions have taken up their rights because they have a gun to their head in the form of being seriously diluted."
Mr Robinson said AFF stood to lose $3 million if it was diluted. But he rejected claims by Mr Corish that his move to oust the board was an attempt to takeover the company.
Mr Corish denied reports that Mr Stewart was pushed. "It has been suggested to me that he has been forced out: that is incorrect," he said.
"Mr Stewart has made a great contribution to the board and he leaves with the board's best wishes."
Mr Stewart will be retained by PrimeAg in a consultive role.
PrimeAg's new fund is aiming to raise as much as $600 million from the Future Fund, other sovereign wealth funds and institutions and generate a combined return of 13 per cent a year from operating income and capital growth.
It will also collect a performance fee of 10 per cent of total returns, as well as a trust management fee of 0.4 per cent per year and a management fee of 0.75 per cent per year.
Dominic McCormick, chief investment officer at Select Asset Management, clarified that he did not support fellow shareholder Australian Food and Fibre seeking to remove the current board, but was dissatisfied with the transaction.
"We are not against them pursuing a strategy of developing external funds, we are against them making existing shareholders stump up the funds to get that started at a big
discount to net asset value,"
Mr McCormick said.

Perhaps the proverbial 'jury' can take a bit of a 'time out' after this latest win must have surely dispelled some of those 'doubting Thomases' and propelled us closer to a play-off spot, than the dreaded drop zone.
It certainly has been an amazing turnaround – especially as we struggled to see off Shrewsbury only two weeks ago. Couple this with an FA Cup win and three other league wins – two on the road – then our season – at last – seems to be taking off.
The league table – albeit with the O's in 13th spot – is looking healthier for us – but we are still playing catch-up having had that poor run – that now seems an age away. But, we still have to be on our mettle as it's becoming quite congested down there and a couple of bad results would put us back in the mire. Only Hartlepool seem to be drifting away, with the pack behind us on our heels.
Whilst it wasn't a completely new side that started the new campaign, there were a few new faces and with loan signings coming and going, it isn't beyond the realms of imagination that a settled side is always going to get consistency – and that's what seems to be happening - allied to the fact that several players are all coming into a bit of form.
No doubt, if we had faced North End earlier in the season and by the way they attacked us, I am not sure whether we would have seen the same outcome.
But, Ryan Allsop – to name but a few – literally kept us in the game with some vital saves either side of the break. If you keep clean sheets, then it's obviously going to give you a chance – and with Kevin Lisbie 'on fire' at the moment – and showing no signs – touch wood – of slowing down – then the sky is the limit.
They say form is temporary and class is permanent – but you still have to put the ball in the back of the net and Lisbie is showing some of the best form in his short Orient career. In some ways, his injury and subsequent recovery is a plus for us as the player appears have returned rejuvenated – it seems like we have signed a new player.
In what is becoming a very interesting season, Alfreton of the Blue Square Conference – aka the Fifth Division – are next up in the FA Cup sponsored by a beer company.
This will give the whole nation an opportunity to see the side the gaffer has been patiently assembling and if we can keep their top scorer, Paul Clayton quiet, then I am sure we can be confident of progressing to the third round in early January.
Keep the faith,
Up the O's

Adrienne is a Senior Programs Officer at Melbourne Museum. Adrienne, David, Bernard, Tim, Beth, Alexandra, Lisa and Sonia can be found in the Mysteries of the Nile room these winter school holidays. Come visit!
Where do you find six kilometres of antique gold thread? 9,000 fake jewels? A printing company that embosses gold onto paper and is affordable? Egyptian palm trees? How do you make ancient Egyptian costumes when they really wore very little?
Being a materials expert and quantity surveyor should be on the job description for Programs Officers who develop and deliver the school holiday programs at Melbourne Museum. Once the team has done the fun bit of thinking up what will be educational and fun, it's a nail biting time searching for materials, doing lots of calculations, working with designers, talking to suppliers, writing requisitions, praying for timely arrivals of the orders, training our wonderful volunteers and communicating to everyone else what's coming up. And that's before the holidays begin.
D-day arrives. Or is that H-day? From the start of the holiday period, there are day-by-day questions – will we run out of anything? Should we reorder and when? Can we afford it? Why are so many people turning up? Why is that little girl back again – wasn't she in just yesterday? (How many pendants has she actually made so far?)
Beautifully coloured and bejewelled pharaoh pectoral pendants made by holiday program participants.Image: David PerkinsSource: Museum Victoria
Last holidays our visitors made 7,000 postcards. In summer, 11,650 earth capsules. We're planning on 9,000 pharaoh pectoral pendants being made these holidays. And for every 3 – 12 year old that makes a pendant, there will also be grandparents, prams and babies, mums and dads, big sisters and brothers, all in the school holiday program space. The Mysteries of the Nile room is packed, with kids busy writing hieroglyphs and creating their pendants, donning costumes and posing Egyptian style, reading books and playing games, watching a mummification show and even wrestling Nile crocodiles.
Kids enjoying the school holiday program.Source: Museum Victoria
Is it worth it? Do we love it? More importantly, do they love it? We've been asking people what they think. "We come here every school holidays at least once because the kids love doing these activities. They are just great". They can reel off all of the things they've made in the past few years and it's satisfying to hear. "What you've done is provide people with something to do, somewhere to sit if you need to be quiet, a fun corner for costumes and an educational show". The parents 'get it' and the kids love it.

text: Hi, Perhaps this is a somewhat odd question but anyway. I'm using Maui and Torque in a very 'synthetic' use case where I would like to reduce the queuing overhead as much as possible. The jobs i put into the queue are more or less no-op jobs and I just want to minimize the time it takes for all jobs to get through. I'm running everything on one node, including the jobs to be run (told you it was synthetic...) and the things I've done so far is to adjust the RMPOLLINTERVAL in maui.cfg to 1 sec (guess that's minimum, right?) and I have also set np=<large number> in the nodes file in order to fool the queue to start many jobs simultaneously. It still takes some time though to get jobs through the queue so my question is - are there any more parameters that I can tweak in order to reduce the time even more? Thanks in advance! /Per

Too funny - A lady tried passing off a fake (ya think?) million dollar bill at Walmart recently and was busted. I guess the only reason the "associate" caught her was because she couldn't make change - LOL!

Straight from the smoking gun... some people are just too freaking dumb!
MARCH 9--Meet Alice Regina Pike. The 35-year-old Georgia woman must think Wal-Mart cashiers are rather dumb, because she actually just tried to pass a $1 million bill at one of the retail chain's megastores. According to this amusing Covington Police Department report, Pike was attempting to pay for $1671.55 in merchandise, but a Wal-Mart clerk called over her manager when she was handed the bogus bill (instead of handing over $998,328.45 in change). As first reported by Joey Peters of the Newton Citizen, Pike was arrested for forgery and booked into the sheriff's lockup, where the below mug shot was taken. Pike, who told cops that her husband had given her the $1 million bill, was found to have two more phony seven-figure notes in her purse. Perhaps she would have fared better with a $200 bill.
I read about a guy that was stealing from JC penney's and he got the anti theft thingy off, then he put it in his pocket and walked out! How dumb is that?

The Faith Middle School Drama Club is hosting its annual spring dinner theater with the production of The Ransom of Miss Elverna Dower at 6 p.m. March 22 at Faith Middle School.
Tickets for the show and the meal are $12. The meal will be grilled chicken, baked potato, salad, drink and pie, or for $8, a hot dog, side, drink and a cookie.
The play revolves around the kidnapping of teacher Elverna Dower and students at the school trying to get her back, said Alise Boal, seventh-grader.
I think they will get a really good show and have a fun night, Alise said. They can just have a good meal and come watch.
Students auditioned and began preparing for the production in December said Traci Kornett, drama club director.
Over the past couple of months, she and assistant director Janice Harvey worked with the cast to develop and really get to know the characters.
Seventh-grader Ellie Pirog said acting on stage helped her with shyness, so that now Im one of the leading roles this year.
Alise said she loved to be on stage.
Im one of those people who is really comfortable on stage and I just love entertaining people and being a different character than youre not normally, she said.
Besides being entertained, the production also allows the school to showcase students talents both on the stage and behind the scenes with lighting, building the set and working with the sound system, Kornett said.
Its also an opportunity for adults to see what students do outside of schoolwork, she said.
Having the community come out to see the students perform will show their support for the drama clubs efforts and hardwork, she said.
It would boost the students confidence, she said, to see a full audience once the curtains open, knowing they have the support of the community.
To purchase tickets, contact a drama club student or Traci Kornett, drama club director, at 706-545-0310 or email@example.com. Tickets must be purchased by March 18.

Several novel silica structures have been generated using a simulated-annealing strategy with an ab-initio based covalent-bonding potential. First-principles total-energy pseudopotential methods have been used to examine several promising novel structures and to compare their structural parameters, cohesive energies and bulk moduli with those of low-quartz, low-cristobalite, silica-sodalite and stishovite. The cohesive energies of these novel structure types are found to be equivalent to those of low-quartz, low-cristobalite, silica-sodalite and significantly lower than that of stishovite.

Student's art earns national honors
Citizen Staff Reports 10/01/12
Douglas Freeman High School tenth-grader Anna Laughter (pictured) recently learned that a drawing she completed last year will be placed on display at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art in Virginia Beach Nov. 16 through Dec. 30.
The recognition, part of The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers' "Art. Write. Now. Tour 12-13," is the latest for Laughter's work, which earlier had earned three other honors.
The piece also earned a Gold Key Regional Award as part of The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards program and was displayed in February and March at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Later, the piece was named a Gold Medal winner at the national level and also was selected as a Best In Grade (BIG) award recipient – one of only two pieces nationally submitted by ninth-graders (from among 7,123 such works) to earn the award. It was featured on display in New York City in June along with other Gold Medal award-winners, and Laughter also earned a $500 scholarship.

to be pissed off with ex and his pregnant missus?(233 Posts)
so ex and I have an eight year old son together who he sees every weekend.
they are expecting a baby together and so are my oh and I(bit Jeremy kyle I know!).
its ds's birthday in a couple of weeks and it will be falling on a weekend when his dad has him.
I presumed his dad would be happy about this and would be doing something with him as he has whinged for the last six years about how he never has him on his birthday and never gets to take him out for birthday either.
considering I have arranged and payed for trips to theme parks,animal parks,parties etc for his birthdays for the past six years I don't think this is a unfair expectation.
I have also arranged to take him and a couple of school friends out to the cinema and pizza hut the Friday before his birthday as my b'day treat to him.
however,son comes home last weekend and says that dad wont be doing anything for him on his birthday as pregnant missus doesn't really want to be on her feet much and cant go on rides etc.
im royally pissed off about this as I feel that that's her rigfht but why cant they go out without her?
it seems that since she has been pregnant ive had to pull ex up on a lot of things regarding my son being affected by her needy mood swings.
imten years older than her,on my second pregnancy and just getting on with things as normal.
very worried that ds will start to feel pushed out by them and new baby and also as a result may start to feel that it will be the same with my bubba too which it most definitely wont!
I can totally see the points some of you are making and ive taken them on board but I need to clarify a few things.
this is not the first and only incident that has occurred since pregnancy.
father has promised for the last couple of years that this year he will take him out and has now gone back on his promise.
i used the theme park as an example but am not saying that's what they should be doing.just the nice trip out that has been promised.
and up until now we have all been very amicable to each other and these problems have only arisen in the past three months.
it makes me laugh to hear people say im too'invested'in their lives.
Your getting a bit of an unfair response I think op. if I was you I'd feel the same. Yes he's getting a birthday treat from you but why should you always be the one to have to make sure he has a special birthday, why can't his dad step up to the mark for once?
normal did you miss the bit where the op said she is pregnant too? The new girlfriend doesn't have to go with them she could stay at home and let them go have fun
You're right to be concerned over lack of food - that's a form of neglect.
WRT the birthday, you just need to make ex take responsibility for organising his celebration with DS. You can then have whatever celebration you and DS choose in your time together.
father has promised for the last couple of years that this year he will take him out and has now gone back on his promise.
Yes but he couldn't have predicted that he was going to have a pregnant wife in the middle of a heatwave, could he?
Cross post - if your ex is breaking a promise your DS believes he made then it's up to ex to take responsibility for dealing with that. You can't win here by interfering - all you can do is arrange a great celebration in your time.
Im baffled as to why you're getting a hard time on this thread OP. I can only assume its the typical AIBU argumentative mentality and the sheep that follow.
You've done nothing wrong. You've done nothing to the couple, you said yourself that you get on well with the pregnant woman, so you're clearly not an arse hole. In fact you've been incredibly diplomatic considering you're son is feeling hurt here.
There's no need to rock the boat and it certainly seems as though you have no intention of doing so, but I think you are well within your right to speak to your ex and tell him DS feels disappointed that he'll be doing nothing on his birthday.
Perhaps suggest his das can take him swimming and something to eat, just them. Or cinema? something at least.
And as for pp saying 'kids get hurt' deal with it, is shocking!! Its the childs birthday, surely he's allowed to want to celebrate this somehow?!
Im 30 years old and I would be disappointed with just being stuck in all weekend. Id be more than happy with a cinema trip, it doesnt have to be anything huge or expensive, just marked.
OP you sound fair, and nice and not as though your guns are blazing. Of course you're feeling for your son, how cold hearted would you be of you didnt? Its his birthday!
anormalone what has that got to do with it? She can stay home with her feet up for 2-3 hours. Or might she need DH to fan her and feed her grapes?
that was the point i was making hippo thank you.
he has been making such a fuss about it for years even though i have given him the chance to have son on b'day before.
he has promised son they will be doing something special for years and has now said no.
they are just as financially stable as me.
i am preggers and am still going to do something for ds so why cant dad?
I have a summer baby, when heavily pregnant in the heat Id never have stopped DP taking DS1 out, more so if it was his birthday!
phew thanks girls.thought i was about to go up in flames there! ;)
I agree with you. Yes ok so he's still getting a birthday treat but in our family we always make a big fuss of birthdays. We would never not mark the actual day of their birthday.
I'm also divorced from my children's father and we would both complain if either one of us thought the other was letting the children down. Fortunately he's not a selfish arse and despite remarrying he would never let the kids down. In your position I would feel exactly the same. And if that's being over interested in my ex husbands life so be it!
Yanbu and I think you are right to be concerned that this baby will push ds down the pecking order as sounds like the pregnancy is already taking priority. I'd approach it like suggested by duckssake suggests or offer to take him out yourself as they aren't able to.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Sounds like the perfect time for a father son day out. Maybe he could hire a sitter for a few hours to attend to grape peeling duties?
no sinister but she can stay at home and chill out for gawds sake!
goodness why does son have to be stuck in doors on his birthday pampering to a pregnant woman.
i wouldn't expect it of him so why should she?
Sorry but YABU.
You don't say at what stage of pregnancy etc new girlfriend is, but I can understand why she might not want to be on her feet for long periods in this heat. And can understand why your DS's father might not want to leave his partner for long periods if its in the later stages of pregnancy.
My DP and I have a similar situation in that I'm due to give birth in a couple of weeks, which has often meant that days out with DSD have often had to be curtailed because I've not been feeling well etc. It's all part of kids learning to be considerate of other family members too. We went to an activity centre as a treat for DSD's birthday recently and I sat in the cafe whilst he did the activity with her for an hour. Afterwards we explored the outdoor play area, but didn't stay as long as she might have liked as it would have been difficult for me to have been on my feet in the heat for much longer. My partner would have been unwilling to leave me alone at home, mainly because it was over an hour's drive from home but also because he wouldn't have wanted to leave me out. We're a family. I figure it would be like this in any 'regular' family - dad isn't going to leave pregnant mum at home to take out their son on his birthday, they'll all do something together instead.
I'd give your ex the benefit of the doubt. He's likely to do 'something' for your DS's birthday - maybe not a theme park trip etc, but something else fun.
Just concentrate on your own relationship with your son and you'd probably be a lot happier.
I think you may be the one who needs to chill out. You're taking the word of an 8 year old child before you've even spoken to his othe parent and in the course o this thread it has developed from they won't be going to a theme park (which is fair enough) to your son having to pamper this woman. Speak to his dad, see if anything is planned, if not keep him at home on his birthday. Simple. And try not to show too much bitterness about their new baby unless you want your son to resent him or her.
YANBU. Birthdays happen once a year ffs, he should make an effort.
goodness why does son have to be stuck in doors on his birthday pampering to a pregnant woman.
i wouldn't expect it of him so why should she?
Because everyone is different, your DS has two equal parents and because your "ex" doesn't have to do things your way to make him a good Dad.
This thread is so stereotypical - mum complaining that Dad doesn't do enough, but when he does up his game, mum complaining that he's not doing it right.
I'm afraid I have to disagree with a lot of the posters on here (what's new?!). What your DS does when he is with his father is 100 per cent your business. He doesn't stop being your son the minute he waves goodbye for the weekend.
I am sure you don't particularly care what your ex does, but you are concerned about your 8yo feeling upset and pushed out. As is your job as his mum. Yanbu at all.
That said, I don't think it has to be a big deal. If it were me, I'd play it down to your ex and just mention something like 'gosh, hot weather like this you probablywill want to take DS somewhere aiair conditioned like bowling or cinema - wouldn't fancy dragging myself round alton towers in this heat!'
I wouldn't say DS has even mentioned it to you. If you assume he will be celebrating his son's birthday (as he absolutely should) he might step up.
agree with you , if she doesnt want to be on her feet stay home ,or they could all go swimming , cinema , meal out , shame if they do nothing special for him.
I agree with you OP - surel tthe dynamics of their family are about to change with the arrival of a baby so its the ideal time for one on one father son time. Not only so they can celebrate your sons birthday but so they can spend quality time together before the new baby is born.
Don't know why some people are defending the pregnant wife - she can stay at home and rest, which she probably would appreciate. I would agree that it would be wrong for the OP to demand ex and pregnant wife take DS out, but shes not - shes asking the ex alone to do something.
I think it's a bit crap of Ex not to take him out to something for his birthday/ celebrate in some way. I would expect my DS to come home able to tell me of something he was going to do with his father for his birthday that he was looking forward to. (In your position)
But then it does always surprise me when people say they're doing nothing for a child's birthday. Even a first birthday - surely you can get a cake and maybe have a friend over ! Bloody hell, some people are miserable buggers !
"Oh, are you doing anything nice ?" "No"
(convo with parents of soon to be one year old at toddler group )
Could it be that your son has said to his father that he wants to go to a theme park and that is what the refusal is based on? I can understand not wanting to stand around for ages at a theme park in sweltering heat. Maybe suggest to ds that swimming or the cinema could be better ideas. Swimming when pg is bliss in the summer. I can see why you might be concerned about him being pushed out in the longer term and I agree his birthday should be about him, but the reality is with a largish age gap they probably will be doing activities which aren't all focused on the needs of an 8yr old, and neither will you otherwise your new baby will never go to soft play areas, U certs at the kids club, swim in the toddler pool. It will be hard for him because for 8yrs on both sides his entertainment needs have come first but now he will have to learn as my 3 have that family life involves compromising so that someone else can do something fun for them.
YANBU totally agree with you OP and would feel the same in your shoes. Of course it's everything to do with you, he is your DS and its his birthday which you are not spending with him. Absolutely understand you wanting to ensure he has a special day.
If I was pregnant I would not expect my OH to forgo a special day out with his DS just because I didn't fancy it - assuming this is what has happened.
Don't doubt yourself.

(CBS News) Flood survivors in Colorado are remembering close friends Wesley Quinlan and his girlfriend Wiyanna Nelson who were killed in the disaster.
At a candlelight vigil, family and friends shared stories about the pair. Among them was Emily Briggs. She and her boyfriend, Nathan Jennings, were in the car with the couple along a road when a torrent of mud and water slammed into them. Briggs said, "Wesley died a hero. He would have jumped in the water if it were me or Nathan or any single person here."
Several Colo. communities still cut off by flooding
Jennings recalled, "Wesley just grabbed each of us and looked in our faces and just said, 'We have to get out of this car.' ... And me and Wesley and Wiyanna all were sort of shimmying along the side of the car and before I knew it all of our feet were swept out from under us and we started travelling in different directions."
Briggs was still in the car. She says Wiyanna was the first to be swept away.
Briggs said, "Wesley screamed her name and dove into water after her and he saved her and he grabbed her and he got her up and then the current was just too much -- it was going 50 miles per hour and they all just got swept away. (Wesley) did everything he could, and he would have done the same for me and Nathan because he was just that selfless of a person."
A firefighter rescued Jennings downstream - three hours later, Briggs was rescued from the car.
Briggs said, "I know that Wesley forever shaped me as person and changed my life. He taught me how to be comfortable with myself .... I love him so much, and I love her so much, too."
Briggs and Jennings said they can't believe they're alive. Jennings said, "I don't believe it every time I wake up now."
Briggs added, "It's just devastating to know I'll never see them smile again, and I'll never hold their hand or kiss their cheek again."
