Toyota 4Runner
1. Unsprung weight -- think of this as everything below the springs, i.e., the mass that must be controlled by the springs and shocks. The heavier the unsprung mass, the harder it is for the springs and shocks to control it, the worse the ride and handling.
2. Agreed, unibody and monocoque are the same.
3. For towing, I lean prefer body and frame. I don't think independent rear suspension versus solid rear axle make any significant difference towing. However, most body and frame trucks also have a solid rear axle.
4. Rack and pinion is simply better than recirculating ball. Better feel, better tracking.
if you do a lot of offroad work, you will wear out your R&P steering a lot faster than your recirc ball, because R&P is designed to be more precise and communicative. Who needs MORE communication and precision offroad? The shift to R&P steering in SUVs in the last decade merely marks the attitude of the automakers that trucks need to behave better on road to please consumers.
Also, once the rack goes, repairs to R&P steering become VERY expensive. Of course, this happens late in the life of the vehicle, so not everyone will care.
Funny sidenote: was reading the 50-year retrospective in C&D from last month, and they had a list of the fastest and slowest vehicles they had tested for every year back a good ways. What did I see listed for 1990, but my truck! Yes, the 4Runner SR5 V-6 was the slowest vehicle to 60 mph that C&D tested in 1990, with a time of 15.7 seconds. LOL
I thought it wasn't so bad, considering that 12 years later, the 2002 Prius was the slowest with a time of 13+ seconds. Besides, I know my truck is slow. :-)

kjack100 Posts: 133Ran across this link for the minor redesign of the '06 HiLux Surf. I imagine the changes for the 4Runner will be identical. A bit disappointed in the few color choice changes, as well as retaining the quirky HVAC controls, among other things. Click on the vertically stacked gray boxes.

What I like about the 'updated' design is the curved fender flares. The
flat surfaced ones on the 2003-2005 4Runners are extremely ugly.
The round surface of the tire totally clashes with the flat surface on the
fender flare of the current models.
Yes, I was just pointing out that they chose to make a component LESS durable to enhance on-road dynamics.
Offroaders know which trucks they like. Since the 2003 makeover, 4Runner has dropped off that list.
I don't really get the speed race among SUVs. These are high, heavy vehicles which are inherently less safe at high speeds than low-slung, sporty cars like that Trans Am you mentioned. My truck is strong in low gears and will climb almost anything. It doesn't matter to me that I can't race Corvettes at stoplights in it.
What does strike me about the current 4Runner is that 15 years later, it is rated exactly the same as mine was for fuel economy (15/19).

My 2000 BMW 540 has Recirc ball and apparently that was due to space constraints. The 2003 BMW has R & P and is better according to some testers. I really enjoy the steering feel on my 2005 4Runner and its turning circle. In fact the turning circle is a great selling point to me although I have also noticed the "clunk" at full right hand lock. My wifes 2004 Sienna is also great.
Hi, all
My girlfriend has a 1994 4Runner. She is experiencing the following problem:
Occaisionally, a clunk is heard from underneath the truck towards the front. The clunk is followed by very hard shuddering, the entire truck lurches loud and hard. It feels sort of like something is locking up and the truck becomes difficult to drive. If she switches to 4-wheel drive, the problem goes away (it never happens in 4Wheel drive). We thought it was the ABS, so we disconnected that, but no luck.
Any ideas would be most helpful.

Have an '02 Passat wagon that is GREAT. Also have an F150 and my wife has a '98 VW Cabrio. Going to replace Passat as my work vehicle (25k miles a year) and need "another" vehicle that can tow up to 5000. I really like the 4Runner fit, finish, handling, and the 6 is plenty of power for me. I am not lead foot......what is or where can I find what most people are getting on the '05's for "combined" driving. I'll be going from 93 Octane to 87 so there is a bit of a savings but the mpg will certainly be less. Thanks for your help. Oh, V6 4x4 Sport.
So this is weird. I was doing a search for any information on the 2006 and came around an article about changes being made. It talked about a new grille, new rear bumper as well as some other changes. It even indicated a center console change to accomodate portable music players like an iPod. So I opened up these forums looking to post a link for you guys, but when I did the same search, the article was nowhere to be found. But, if this article is in fact true, there will be significant changes to the '06, inside and out.
ciparis Posts: 1Oh goodness, that figures. The list of improvements precisely mirrors the list of things I wasn't happy with in my '05 Limited V8 4WD:
- memory seats (and how about height adjustable passenger seat, please)
- easy ipod integration
- wind noise
I've got 2500 miles on mine and I'm already envious here's hoping the new style is ugly! /grin

It is a lot of fun for the kids. The magicians do a good job of both performing tricks and being funny. You do have to order at least two menu items (i.e. drink and entree) per person. The menu is limited and the food is not very good. My salad was $9. Sodas are $3.50 each. All in all, the show was a hit with my 7 and 5 year olds. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon.

After dominating swimming in her events throughout the season Kathleen Lyon finally was recognized as the Battlefield District's girl swimmer of the year. Lyon also made District history by breaking former Chancellor swimmer Cameron Wallace's 200-yard freestyle record with a time of 1:59.51. The Fox senior also finished first in the 100-yard butterfly [1:00.57]. Lyon led her team in victories throughout the season by consistently finishing with double victories in every meet the Foxes competed in.
By virtue of his performance, James Monroe's Trevor Carr earned the boys portion of the District Swimmer of the year.

The King George wrestling team made county history as the first sports program to host a tournament [Battlefield Duals Tournament] at the new King George High School on Foxes Way in King George. The Foxes also took 3rd place at the tournament. The 3rd place finish was based on criteria which gave King George the advantage.
Chancellor won the tournament, with Eastern View finishing second. Spotsylvania fourth and Courtland fifth. The Foxes were missing five of their regular starters due to injury and college placement testing. The following Foxes placed in their respective weight classes: 103 llb. - Jason Ames; 119 llb.- Connor Webber, 0-4; 125 llb.- Ian Lynett was 4-0; 130 llb. - Phil Hinkes 2-2; 135 llb. - Zack Moore, 2-2; 140 llb. - Jason Norris was 1-0;152 llb. - James Marker was 1-3; 171 llb. Mat Giles was 1-3; 189 llb. Kelly Pierce was 1-0; 215 llb. Bryan Horaist was 1-3; Heavyweight Neil Schultz was 3-1.
In exhibition matches Greg Wohlman was 0-1 while Darius Wright was 1-0. King George wrestling will be back in action this Friday/Saturday at the Varina Blue Devils tournament.

Lady Fox JV feeder basketball program soars
The King George Foxes Junior Varsity girls' basketball team has been enjoying a winning season this year, going 5-3 so far, posting 1 win and 1 loss last week against foes James Monroe High School and Courtland, respectively.
In last Tuesday's game at James Monroe, King George came out strong, taking a ten point lead to the locker room at halftime. In the second half, James Monroe chiseled their way back into the game and within two points of the Lady Foxes. King George battled hard to hold on to the lead and earn the victory, 26-24. Jazzmine Johnson was the leading scorer for the Lady Foxes with 12 points.
In Friday night's home game, the Lady Foxes were unable to pull out a win against the Courtland Cougars in a very closely contested game, losing 22-25. After holding a one point lead at halftime, and being tied at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the game remained close all the way to the final stretch.
Head Coach Christine Gathers expressed pride in her team, saying that they work well together as a whole, in-school and out-of-school. "They have been working hard and have come a long way, stepping up when needed," said Coach Gathers of her very young team. "Everyone has contributed in one way or another."
Five of the ten players are in the eighth grade. Eighth grader Erica Davis and freshman Victoria Taylor have been doing a great job at getting the ball down the court, according to Coach Gathers, and eighth grader Emily Hall has had a big impact on the team, in the game and on the bench, as she is always encouraging her team.
This is the half-way point in the season for the Lady Foxes. With eight games left, they plan to continue to work hard to win every game possible, with hopes to earn the right to play in the Battlefield District JV Championship game once again.
On Friday, January 23, the Lady Foxes will travel to Spotsylvania High School for a 6:00pm game. The next home game will be on Wednesday, January 28, against Eastern View High School at 6:00pm. Go Lady Foxes!
The total athlete - Fox grad prepares for the national spotlight

While the days of high school gridiron and track & field stardom are far behind him, King George grad Travis Smith has his sights set on competing nationally in the sport of bodybuilding. At six foot two, 225 pounds, and barely an ounce of body-fat, and a physique that rivals a professional bodybuilder, Smith may be well on his way to competing nationally.
After taking third place in the 2008 Mount Rogers Natural Bodybuilding competition in Woodbridge, Virginia, Smith competed in the Maryland Natural Bodybuilding Fitness and Figure competition in Annapolis, Maryland on June 28, 2009. Depending upon his success at the Mr. Virginia bodybuilding competition, Smith will take the next step in his quest to compete at a national championship in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2010.
Aside from the notoriety of national success, Smith realizes that the only way to the top is through a rigorous seasonal and off-season weekly conditioning regiment. During the off-season, he will lift three times a week, twice a day [5:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.]. "There is a lot of power-lifting involved, with a focus on repetitions and lifting sets," Smith said. "The repetitions range from low to explosive lifts."
In preparation for an upcoming show, Smith and his fellow competitors will accelerate their weekly training to six days a week, twice a day, which will equal 12 workout sessions a week. The not for the faint of heart sport, also includes two sessions of cardio-physical fitness a week. In every workout session Smith pushes his body to the limit with a full body workout. "It's more beneficial to work the entire body, because you have more free flowing growth hormones and testosterone in your bloodstream—when you work large amounts of muscle groups in one session," Smith said.
Smith's nutrition compliments the grueling pace that he has set for himself. He eats six to eight times a day, which includes three replacement shakes. His total calorie counts ranges from six to eight thousand a day. "If you're going to body-build, you have devote a lot of time to it," Smith said.
During competitions, judges look for body symmetry, proportion, clarity of muscles and conditioning. The rules of posing are stringent. "Even though you're in a relaxed position, you're still have to maintain a certain pose," Smith said.
The 2001 Fox graduate left a legacy of success both on the football field and on the track venues associated with the Battlefield District. Smith led the Fox varsity football team to berth in the Semi-Regional championship against Lafayette in 2000. His heroics on the gridiron honored with the following awards: All-Region linebacker, All District running back and linebacker and the best defensive player on the team.
As a standout track & field athlete, Smith holds the school record for the discus, at 174'. In addition, he earned All-State honors in the discus, shot put and 4x100 men's relay team [anchor]. In a national high school track & field competition at North Carolina State, he finished 12th.
Nowadays, you can find Smith working as a personal trainer at Fredericksburg Four Mile Fork Sport & Health in Fredericksburg. Aspiring fitness enthusiasts, who have interest in defining their bodies, can contact Smith at 540-710-9500.
Foxes win first round of Christmas tournament

In celebration of the 2008 Christmas basketball tournament at King George High School, the Foxes held on to defeat the Laplata Warriors. The Foxes led by as much as 13 in the fourth quarter, but the Warriors refused to give up and managed to make life more than interesting for the Foxes in the remaining seconds. Senior, forward Donta Smith had a big game with 16 points, while teammate D.J. Lewis poured in 14 points. Brandon Shelton and Antwane Lewis added 11 points a piece to advance the Foxes into the championship round against Chancellor.
The Warriors were led by point guard Joey Davis with 21 points and Juan Wells with 17 points.
First quarter
From start to the final seconds, the game was an all out brawl with King George standing tall when the dust finally settled. The Foxes broke away early in the first quarter with a 8-0 run and sustained their lead by dominating both the offensive and defensive boards. With less than a minute left in the first quarter, Lewis dropped a 3-point bomb from long range to give the Foxes a 23-12 lead.
Second quarter
Smith and Lewis took turns penetrating the Warriors defense, giving the partisan Fox fans a reason to cheer and a sizeable 10-point lead going into the second half. Robert Fuquo scored six points for the Warriors cutting the lead by 3 points.
Third quarter
The Warriors must had a second helping of verbal vitamins from their coach at halftime, because they came out with a 7-0 run, cutting the Fox lead to 42-39. Midway into the third quarter, the Foxes shifted into fourth gear, with Antwane Lewis taking the Foxes on a 6-0 run—and extending their lead to 63-50.
The few fans that left early missed an exciting ending, as the Warriors rallied back from a 13 point deficit to cut the Fox lead to 78-75 with less than 40 seconds remaining in the game. After an exchange of 10 possessions in less than 32 seconds, the Foxes held on to defeat their visitors from Maryland by three points [80-77].
Results of the consolation game and the championship game featuring King George and Chancellor were not available due to press deadlines.

Stalled in the Mall: Why Aéropostale Is Unlikely to Rebound

U.S.: NYSE USD56.95 -0.1 -0.175284837861525% /Date(1417039680645-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1412163 AFTER HOURS USD56.7629 -0.187100000000001 -0.32853380158033363% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 23782 P/E Ratio 19.705882352941178 Market Cap 12948949070.2621 Dividend Yield 0.913081650570676% Rev. per Employee 416066 More quote details and news » shifted into overdrive in the past year.
The transmission giant's stock (ticker: BWA) is up 75% since we identified it a year ago as a prime beneficiary of rising demand for fuel-efficient vehicles ("BorgWarner's Turbocharged Prospects," June 28, 2010). Yet the shares are off 6% from the start of the year on concerns about a slowdown in the economy, whetting some bulls' appetites.
"It's a compelling valuation," says Colin Langan, auto analyst at UBS Securities, who has a Buy rating on the stock and a price target of $82 a share, up from the recent $68. "The growth story is intact and near term looks better because of rising fuel prices," which should continue to drive demand for BorgWarner turbochargers.

BorgWarner supplies transmission components and other parts for the 2011 Jeep Cherokee.
First-quarter earnings came in ahead of expectations, a frequent occurrence at BorgWarner nowadays. The company, however, didn't raise its full-year earnings guidance, a practice to which investors had also grown accustomed. Management stuck to its previous guidance of $3.85 to $4.15 a share for 2011, up from $3.02 last year, citing production disruptions resulting from the Japanese earthquake.
That leaves the shares trading at 17 times this year's earnings—higher than the market's norm but attractive considering the company's earnings power.
Earnings in the second-quarter could face head winds due to the struggles at BorgWarner's joint venture in Japan. Results should return to more normal levels in the third and fourth quarter of this year and management expects lost production to be recovered within the year.
Margins in the company's drivetrain segment came in lower than the previous quarter's and below expectations, partly because research and development spending ticked higher. Also, the method of accounting for the company's January acquisition of Haldex Traction Systems will cancel out any profit contribution from the purchase in the near term.
Powerful performance in BorgWarner's engine segment, which recorded record revenue, more than offset the impact from the drivetrain drag.
"There's no growth story in the auto space that compares," says UBS's Langan.
It's a name sure to keep portfolios revved up.

Fujitsu's Agonies, Natural & Manmade
What do you get when you combine a bitter boardroom struggle with a dismal economy and natural disaster of epic proportions? For Fujitsu, fjtsy 0.34674063800277394% Fujitsu Ltd. ADS U.S.: OTC USD28.94 0.1 0.34674063800277394% /Date(1417043999000-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1384 P/E Ratio 14.953753939957629 Market Cap 12021619044.1366 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 287904 More quote details and news » the Japanese technology conglomerate, it has all added up to a bad tumble in the stock market.
Fujitsu's American depositary receipts (ticker: FJTSY) have sunk 11%, to $27, since we penned a bearish piece on the company a year ago ("Japan's IBM? Not Quite Yet," June 14, 2010). And there's probably more trouble ahead.
Our big concern last year was the boardroom battle, which was distracting management and tarnishing the company's image. In a nutshell, the board sacked Fujitsu's president for his business dealings with a money manager with alleged ties to the underworld.
The former president, Kuniaki Nozoe, has been fighting the directors in court ever since, as has the money manager's firm, Sandringham. It's been a classic three-ring circus.
Japan's economy, for its part, has been one of the world's worst laggards. Gross domestic product has grown for the most part at less than 2% annually since 1992 and is likely to expand just 1.3% this year.
The horrific tsunami and nuclear disaster of March not only caused a big disruption in business, but also damaged many of Fujitsu's plants in northern Japan and distracted a new management team from a key initiative: getting big in the booming new field of cloud computing.
Fujitsu, which has a market value of $11 billion and is best known for computers and software sersvices, is a long way from rebounding. Barring a dramatic turnaround in global demand for computers, analysts figure the company will earn the equivalent of 42 cents a share in the fiscal year ending next March, up from last year's super-depressed 33 cents but well below the previous year's 56 cents.
That leaves the stock trading at 13 times this year's earnings, not exactly cheap. Analysts who follow Fujitsu closely figure the shares and the ADRs are likely to fall at least another 10%.

Stalled in the Mall: Why Aéropostale Is Unlikely to Rebound
Few clothing retailers have fared quite so badly in the stock market this past year as Aéropostale, aro -0.2898550724637681% Aeropostale Inc. U.S.: NYSE USD3.44 -0.01 -0.2898550724637681% /Date(1417039681476-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 1897755 AFTER HOURS USD3.44 % Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 272086808.725071 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 67375.9 More quote details and news » the teen-focused clothing chain. While the broad market is up 20%, Aéropostale is down 42% to a recent $17.50. Ugh: We recommended the stock last year at about $30 ("Discounter With a New Sense of Style," July 5, 2010).
We have lost confidence in Aéropostale (ticker: ARO), and at this point would cut losses or avoid it. In an especially troubling sign, its inventory levels are up 16% from a year ago while sales have been flat. It looks as though someone ordered the wrong styles or colors; the company has reported particular weakness in girls' clothing.
We originally liked the company because it had managed to generate strong results through the economic downturn, with total sales, same-store sales and profits all moving higher.

In the fiscal first quarter, ended January, sales rose just 1% while same-store sales dropped 7% and gross profit margins fell markedly, to 29.1 from 39.4%.
With its upmarket peers continuing to lower prices to lure shoppers, and Aéropostale itself lowering forecasts for the current quarter, there is little reason to look for an upturn anytime soon. The consensus estimates for fiscal-2013 earnings have fallen from $2.76 a share earlier this year to $1.92.
Aéropostale's stock now trades at 11 times projected earnings of $1.63 a share for fiscal 2012 and about nine times mean projections for fiscal 2013. That's relatively low for the sector, and entirely deserved.
Aéropostale may eventually regain its fashion touch, but for now we're going to take a cue from the cool kids and do our shopping elsewhere.

Trump International Hotel & Tower New York
|#2 in Best New York City Hotels
|Hotel Class 5.0-star
|Critic Rating Excellent
|Guest Rating
U.S. News Review
According to recent visitors, the best thing about this Trump property — which overlooks Central Park's southern end — is the service, from its white-gloved bellhops to its Trump Attaché (personal 24-hour service). Travelers, including those on business and those with kids in tow, rave about the staff's efficiency and professionalism. Along with impeccable service, you'll also have plenty of space in your luxurious accommodations, appointed with floor-to-ceiling windows, fully-equipped kitchens and marble baths. But if you're still craving more luxury, head straight to the 6,000-square-foot spa for a relaxing treatment or indulge in a world-class meal at Jean Georges or Nougatine restaurants. Though a few previous patrons bemoan Jean Georges' high prices, others rave about the exceptionally attentive wait staff.

VIDEO SPECIAL: Test Footage From Live-Action HONG KONG PHOOEY, MARVIN THE MARTIAN Films
Cartoon Brew has just uncovered the first test-footage from Alex Zamm's live-action adaptations of HONG KONG PHOOEY and MARVIN THE MARTIAN. Check it out below!
As of now, it's not clear whether or not either project is still in development.
The adaptation of HONG KONG PHOOEY was originally announced last year, with Eddie Murphy attached to play 'Penry,' the dog who is mysteriously granted human-like powers. News of a live-action version of Looney Tunes' classic character MARVIN THE MARTIAN first broke in 2008.
There has been no word on the projects since their initial announcements.

Better explore every nook and cranny - it's your only chance of finding a weapon or two. You're gonna need ?em. Because when you finally meet the Count, you know he'll be going for the jugular. So keep your courage up and your stake sharp...and say your prayers.
Castlevania marked the beginning of Konami's world famous and critically-acclaimed vampire hunter series.
Very good
A quick trip down memory lane can produce some surprising results. The Nintendo Entertainment System was obviously the clear winner of its generation but among the line-up for the system was a surprising amount of great trilogies. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Dragon Warrior,...read full review
Chris said:
Glad to see this game will be making a reappearance in the market. Of all the Castlevania games, this one is my favorite by far. It has the best soundtrack of any NES game (in my opinion), and efforts are well rewarded in this challenging game. Hope to play it again soon.
Captain Jamesman said:
This game is convincing. They should probably remake this. But they're remaking a different Castlevania game, so I won't judge.

Part of the box art gives me the creeps. Was that even necessary? Think of the children!

CBR's 2010 Top 50 X-Men
The forums at Comic Book Resources were closed recently, which is fair enough, but I thought it would be worthwhile to re-post a countdown I did back in 2010 based on votes by the CBR X-Men forum members of their favorite X-Men. This way I can save the list for posterity. I should perhaps update this list some day, as it is almost four years out of date at this point.
Anyhow, from 2010, here are CBR's Top 50 X-Men…

What Did You Think About the Flash Promo Spot?
Towards the end of Wednesday night's fun finale of the Arrow, the CW debuted their promo for the new Flash series that is coming to the CW on Tuesday nights this Fall.
I really liked it. I love how they are making Barry Allen a joyful character. It is a smart choice and it is very impressive to see how they're willing to avoid using the same tone for all of their series. Where Arrow can successfully pull off the darker vibe (although, as this season shows, he can also pull off the heroic vibe, as well), that's not Barry Allen – not even with his new, darker origins courtesy of Flash Rebirth. And the producers are not going that route, which is great. Plus, isn't it nice to see someone ENJOYING having superpowers? It really captures the unique appeal of HAVING powers like the Flash's if the hero himself is pumped about his powers.
And the costume looks okay so far!

Interesting New How-To Guide to Drawing Comic Characters
The 21 Draw Art Project has a new book looking for funding today on IndieGogo that seemed interesting to me, so I figured I'd feature it here.
Essentially, it's a reference guide for drawing comic characters aspiring artists, with famous artists like Steve Rude and Ariel Olivetti supplying examples of different types of characters and then supplying explicit details for each of the characters. You know, front shots, back shots, side shots, details on hand gestures, facial expressions, etc.
The variety of different art styles is very important, as you're bound to find an artists whose style is similar to your own so that they would be the most help to you.
It seems like a very useful book that I Figured a bunch of artists out there would be interested in, so if you're one of those people, check out their IndieGogo listing here. They just went live with funding of their project.
The Crazy, Manic Silver Age Style Origin of the All-New Ghost Rider

but what strikes me the most about the series is how Felipe Smith has managed to give the All-New Ghost Rider an old school Silver Age origin, without feeling old fashioned at all.

Really, not much bigger news in recent memory than the announcement that Amazon has purchased Comixology.
I wouldn't expect this to affect Comixology customers much, but it sure is a major success for the owners of the site. Congrats to them! They made a great product and now I'm sure they're being greatly rewarded for it financially.
And what a smart move by Amazon! They're getting ahead of the game.
I also think that this will open up any even larger audience to digital-first comics like Lion Forge.

Foggy Ruins of Time – We Have As Much of a Chance as Spielberg Has of Winning an Oscar?
This is the latest in a series giving you the cultural context behind certain comic book characters/behaviors. You know, the sort of then-topical references that have faded into the "foggy ruins of time." To wit, twenty years from now, a college senior watching episodes of Seinfeld will likely miss a lot of the then-topical pop culture humor (like the very specific references in "The Understudy" to the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding scandal). Here is an archive of all the Foggy Ruins of Time installments so far.
Today we take a look at a reference to a down point in Steven Spielberg's career, as reflected in an issue of the Avengers…

Jeter backto hitting,fieldingBy MARK DIDTLER
The Associated Press | June 15,2013TAMPA, Fla. Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter resumed hitting and fielding drills Friday for the first time since mid-April, a day after receiving medical clearance to increase his rehabilitation program for a broken left ankle.
Jeter hit off a tee and took swings at underhand soft toss in an indoor cage before fielding 13 grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt and 23 more at deep shortstop. He made throws to first on some of the grounders hit to him on the grass.
They gave the green light, so thats encouraging, Jeter said. Im looking forward to it.
Eduardo Nunez, who strained a muscle on his left side while filling in for Jeter, took swings and fielded grounders with the Yankees captain.
Everything is a progression, Jeter said. Do more each and every day. As soon as I can do it, Ill do it. As soon as I can comeback, Ill be back.
Jeter is working out at the Yankees minor league complex.
In terms of everyday schedule, I dont know what that is, Jeter said. Its more of taking it one day at a time.
Jeter was examined Thursday by Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C. and recieved clearance to progress into baseball activities.
The 13-time All-Star hasnt played this season after breaking his ankle while lunging for a grounder in the AL championship series opener against Detroit on Oct. 13 and having surgery a week later. He started onfield workouts Jan. 28 and was limited to five spring training games and 11 at-bats because of soreness. A new break was discovered during a scan on April 18.
New York expects him to return sometime after the All-Star break in mid-July.
Third baseman Alex Rodriguez, coming back from hip surgery in January, took 84 swings in batting practice, displaying power to all fields. A-Rod also took 33 grounders at third and has started making throws to first and second. He ended the fielding session by charging in several times to field slow grounders and a simulated bunt.
Rodriguez also did six hard sprints at around 90 feet in the outfield.
Outfielder Curtis Granderson, out with a broken left hand, said he will be examined next week in New York. He is throwing balls but not catching them, and he is running in the outfield.
Michael Pineda, who missed last season after right shoulder surgery, threw in an extended spring training intrasquad game at Steinbrenner Field, the Yankees spring training ballpark in Tampa. He pitched in his first minor league game last Sunday for Class A Tampa.MORE IN Wire SportsRivalries are like a big Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings oh so appetizing but with...

We got up here with the Mountain Project app and realized it had no info on route locations. For that, you needed to buy 'the papers' at IME for $10.
Do yourself a favor, if you want to know what you're climbing, go to IME and pick them up and you'll help support the guys developing these areas and spending time and $$$ on bolts.

^ +1. IME topo is great. First time i climbed there another group had it. Last time I had it and another group needed beta.
Love this wall.. the wall is reasonably clean with consistent grade and a lot of fun to climb.. flakes, pockets, jugs, monos, the whole range. Still need to be careful on belay for choss but you should be paying attention anyway.

Does anyone have any beta for a bolt line located between AntiDote (10a) and Brain Doner (11b)?
These are shown on Greg's topo as #5 and #6, respectively. Route climbs the face between the two routes and finishes at bolted anchors located directly above the anchors for #5 AntiDote.

Topic: Invasive Plants, Non-Natives, Problem Plants, Herbs/Forbs
Title: Invasive thistles in wildflower field from Dripping Springs TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:How to get rid of "native" thistles.. I have a large natural field that used to grow a variety of wildflowers, but in 2011 and 2012 it was taken over by thistles. I'm sure they are "native" Texas Thistles, and I let them grow at first because they had pretty purple flowers. But then they took over, were tall, horrible, thorny, plants. I couldn't walk through the field without being hurt. And after blooming they got very UGLY. So in 2013 I didn't let any thistle go to seed and was on my hands and knees digging them up constantly. Last fall I planted a bunch of wildflowers. Now I see the wildflowers sprouts AND tons of thistle rosettes trying to crowd them out! I'm back out there trying to dig up the young thistle without hurting the wildflowers. HOW LONG will this go on? Will I ever get rid of them?! Why is this plant considered "OK" just because it's a "native" when it chokes out other plants and is SO unpleasant - pretty purple flowers aside.
We don't think Mr. Smarty Plants has ever said that a plant is "okay" simply because it is native. You don't hear us promoting Toxicodendron radicans (Eastern poison ivy), do you? Even on native plants, we will always make statements in our webpages about invasiveness and poisonous problems. And we don't send out secret agents to sprinkle native seeds in unsuspecting gardener's property, honest. Our recommendation is always to investigate any plant for its characteristics and growing conditions BEFORE it is planted in order to make a good decision on whether to include it in your plants or not. And we always recommend plants native to your specific area because there is a better assurance that they will prosper in the climate, rainfall and soils where they are planted. Obviously, you got no opportunity to make those decisions before the thistles arrived.
Here is a previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer on Native and Non-native Thistles from San Marcos TX, also in Hays County, which might help you at least identify what you have. It mentions the first native thistle we thought of, Cirsium ochrocentrum (Yellowspine thistle), see the fearsome illustration of it from our Image Gallery below. Native or not, we absolutely do not blame you for wanting to be rid of those plants, but therein lies the rub.
Mr. Smarty Plants has addressed this exact question before and, even though this previous answer is from Ohio, it tells you exactly what we would say again, and we are getting lazy. Easier for the same answer to be read twice than for us to type the same answer twice. We do warn you, this is not going to be easy, native or not, these plants take care of themselves.
Lesson learned for all gardeners from this: Never put off dealing with a plant that you don't want, get it out before it gets you out. No matter who planted it - wind, birds, aliens, even you - if it doesn't work where it is, it's out of there!

Merkel says EU budget talks will be tough, outcome unclear
BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged her EU partners on Saturday to work together to get a deal on the 27-member bloc's budget at a summit this week, warning that agreement was far from certain.
EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday to try to clinch a deal on its 1 trillion euro budget for 2014-2020 after they failed to do so in November.
In her weekly podcast, Merkel said she expected very difficult negotiations.
"Germany will try to contribute to a result. We will only be able to see at the end of next week whether it succeeds," she said.
"But it is worth trying," she said, adding that at a time when many European countries are struggling with economic growth, an EU budget deal would give certainty for financial planning.
She said the budget must be used to make sure the EU increases its competitiveness and that member states' economies become gradually more aligned.
In preparation for the summit, Merkel is holding a round of talks in the coming days. Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy comes to Berlin on Monday and she is to visit French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday evening.
Merkel had struck a more positive note earlier this week at a news conference with Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, saying she was very optimistic about a deal.
Monti wants a reform of the EU system of rebates, arguing that Italy's contribution to the budget is out of proportion to its real wealth. Some net contributors, such as Britain, have demanded deep reductions in EU spending plans. (Reporting by Madeline Chambers, editing by William Hardy)

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.
Two evenly matched opponents face off.
