"Ombelliferes" oil on canvas 31" x 23" Andre Vignoles was born in the southwest part of France on August 5, 1920. He followed a course of classic studies but was attracted to drawing at an early age and gave much of his time to it. He began to paint with a student of Flandria, one of the first Fauves, who studied in the atelier of Gustave Moreau. As he continued his study of painting, Vignoles was attracted to the art of Cezanne, Van Gogh and the Primitives of the 15th century. He also went through a cubist phase and greatly admired the modernists such as Picasso. In 1945 Vignoles married and moved to Nice but shortly went to live at Vallauris, where he worked in ceramics to earn a living, though his spare time was devoted completely to painting. In 1945 Vignoles met Pierre Bonnard. Bonnard gave the young artist both advice and encouragement, urging him to go to Paris where he moved in 1946. Here he gained a renewed sense of conviction towards nature and the use of color. Two years after moving to Paris, he began to exhibit at the Salon d'Automne. In 1950 he became a member of the Salon des Independants. In 1951 he exhibited in the Salon des Jeunes Oeintres, of whose committee he was later elected a member. In 1952 the French State made its first purchase of one of his paintings in succeeding years others were purchased both by the French State and the City of Paris. In 1954 Vignoles won the Prix de la Cadiere d'Azur. He then began a series of one man exhibitions in Paris, London and the U.S. where he experienced unparalleled success. Today Vignoles continues to study form and color harmony in still lifes and landscapes animated by a lyrical feeling for nature and in paintings with figures caught in the movement of contemporary life. The list of the French Salons in which André Vignoles exhibits indicates the place he occupies among the outstanding French contemporary painters:

The Stock Market's Next Breakout Stars
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The stock market ended the week with an unfamiliar color scheme, albeit one appropriate for the season. There actually was some red mixed with what has been a nearly unbroken skein of green, as the major indexes fell in the shortened Black Friday session. And bargain hunters are beginning to snap up buys in a sector that often gets their attention at this time of year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 index, and the Nasdaq Composite dipped on the final day of a boffo November. U.S. legislation supporting Hong Kong's pro-democracy protesters, to which Beijing reacted furiously, dampened hopes that the highly anticipated phase-one trade deal with China would be inked soon.
More interesting than the almost monotonous daily records in the three large-capitalization stock measures was the breakout in the Russell 2000 index. The small-cap benchmark finally set a 52-week high early in the week, but still ended on Friday some 6.7% short of its peak, reached at the end of August 2018. The Russell's year-to-date advance of 20.46% also is well short of the 25.30% gain in the S&P 500.
Still, the small-caps' attainment of 52-week highs after lagging behind their larger brethren is a positive sign, according to Ryan Detrick, LPL Financial's senior market strategist. Moreover, future returns for the Russell 2000 have tended to be positive when the small-cap gauge has gone more than a year without setting a 52-week high. He calculates an average 17% return in the 12 such episodes since 1985.
December is the best month of the year for the Russell 2000, according to our colleagues at Dow Jones Market Data. In the past 32 Decembers of the index's existence, the small-stock benchmark posted a gain 81% of the time, averaging 2.59%. (The big exception was December 2018, which saw a drop of 12.05%, its worst.) What once was dubbed the January effect, in which small-caps depressed by year-end tax-loss selling would bounce back in the New Year, now seems to start in mid-December, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac.
Read More Up & Down Wall Street
A big part of small-caps' underperformance can be traced to their earnings outlook, which has trailed forecasts for S&P 500 stocks, notes Bespoke Investment Group. Drilling down, a significant part of that disparity reflects the weaker prospects of smaller banks, a big component of the Russell 2000, versus those of the money-center banks in the big-cap Russell 1000 index. Nevertheless, BIG cautiously deems the small-cap breakout "promising."
In addition to seasonal influences, the markets' attention will probably be dominated by a fresh batch of economic data. Most notably, the November employment report, due on Friday morning, should reflect the end of the General Motors (ticker: GM) strike. Payrolls should be up by 190,000, versus October's 128,000, estimates Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at MFR, with 40,000 of the gain coming from the settlement of the walkout at the auto maker.

For an "Ooohs and Ahs" cake, try this Chocolate Flan Cake. It looks complicated, but it is incredibly simple.
When I poured the flan batter over the chocolate, Fuzz said it looked like "Alligators in a Swamp". ….
…but when I flipped it out she said "Wow". So did Todd.
Todd and I don't really like flan. Maybe this cake will change that. I haven't chilled it yet, so I'll give you a full review tomorrow.
Chocolate Flan Cake
- 11 ounces caramel topping softened or at room temp
- 1 box chocolate cake mix plus ingredients called for on box
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 large eggs
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-cup bundt pan with flour-added cooking spray or grease the pan with shortening and dust with flour. Pour caramel topping into pan.
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan over the caramel topping.
- Make the flan. Pour condensed, evaporated and fresh milks into a blender. Add softened cream cheese, vanilla and eggs and blend or process until smooth. Pour the flan mixture very slowly over the cake batter.
- Spray a sheet of aluminum foil with cooking spray (or just use nonstick foil) and cover the pan TIGHTLY with the foil. Covering tightly is very important. Set the Bundt pan into a large pan and set on the oven rack and slide in.
- Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan to a depth of 2 inches (The Bundt pan will be sitting in 2 inches of water). Bake for two hours.
- After two hours, remove cake from water and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Peel off the aluminum foil. Invert cake onto a large plate with rim. The caramel topping should flow down the sides. Cool completely then refrigerate.

Dissolution threat 'blackmail'
PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull's decision to call a double dissolution election if the Senate does not pass key legislation has been labelled as "blackmail" and "panicked".
Mr Turnbull announced yesterday that Australia would head to the polls on July 2 for a double dissolution election if the Senate did not pass the ABCC (Australia Building and Construction Commission) and Registered Organisations bills.
He has ordered Parliament sit next month to determine the legislation.
The Federal Budget has also been moved a week earlier to May 3.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said Australians had seen a prime minister in "full panic mode".
He also said Labor was not afraid of a double dissolution election.
Labor colleague Mark Dreyfus said there had been only four times since 1961 when Parliament had been prorogued.
"There is no example in modern times of a government proroguing Parliament to obtain political advantage or, as here, to override sitting scheduling decisions already taken by the Senate," Mr Dreyfus said.
But Attorney-General George Brandis said Mr Dreyfus was off the mark, arguing it was the 29th time since Federation that Parliament had been prorogued and called back.
Senator Glenn Lazarus said the Prime Minister's announcement felt like a threat. He said he would not be "blackmailed" or "bullied" into a making a decision and he did not support the ABCC legislation in its current form.
The ABCC legislation seeks to re-establish the construction watchdog to ensure building work is carried out fairly, efficiently and productively.
Mr Turnbull said re-establishing the ABCC was a critical economic reform and would lead to more investment, infrastructure, jobs and affordable housing. He said the time for playing games was over.
"This is an opportunity for the Senate to do its job of legislating rather than filibustering - the go-slows and obstruction by Labor and the Greens on this key legislation must end," he said.

Sure, lots of business owners plan and buy their own media. For others, they realize there are other more productive things they could be doing with that time, so they turn to an advertising agency. Hopefully they use a company (like Ad House) that actually subscribes to ratings data to get a true picture of what's happening with viewers.
Here's how important media buying should be to a business: When your company grows to a certain point, would you do your own corporate taxes or represent yourself in a court of law? You'd probably choose the expertise of a professional who's devoted their career to the ends-and-outs in those areas. Why? That expertise will provide your company with better results. And that's what we do.
Why Should Ad House Advertising Buy Your Broadcast Media?
- It doesn't cost you anything extra.
- Get more exposure for your media dollar.
- We tailor your budget to better reach those who are most likely to purchase.
- Not everyone is your potential customer-- "image" packages and "rotators" seldom work.
- Each medium (TV, Radio, Billboards, etc.) all have very different uses.
- We buy millions in advertising each year; we know what is most likely to provide the best results for your situation.
- Because we buy so much airtime as an agency, we negotiate rates with stations, and make our commission from them, not from you. We buy airtime at a lower price, and then get paid out of that. Having our agency buy your broadcast airtime literally costs you less money.

Police complaint accuses three members of Bartlesville committee of violating Open Meeting Act
Three members of a Bartlesville committee that helps oversee downtown development have been accused in a police complaint of recently violating the state Open Meeting Act.
The agenda for the Design Review Committee's special meeting on Dec. 15 did not specify that action could be taken on two project applications.
In contrast, the agenda said the committee would "discuss and take possible actions to develop Residential Design Guidelines for the Downtown Redevelopment District."
The official mission of the five-member committee is "to ensure compatibility of future development within the Downtown Redevelopment District with the existing character of the area and to provide a framework for new construction and the renovation of buildings which already exist."
Or, as The Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise has explained, the committee "was created to help oversee development in downtown and make sure signage, building, redevelopment and renovation were done in a way that was consistent with the unique history and architecture of downtown."
According to a document provided on the city's Web site, "No project will be permitted to proceed without plan approval from the DRC." (DESIGN REVIEW An Applicant's Guide.)
"All meetings of the DRC are subject to the Oklahoma Open Meetings Act, Title 25 OS 301-314," according to the document.
Members are appointed by the mayor and serve a three-year term limited to a continuous period of two terms or six years, according to the city's Web site.
Two items listed on the Dec. 15 agenda were:
"(Project # 2009-0011-3) An application from Rick Woodward, on behalf of H2O Church, Inc., for free standing signage on the NW corner of the property located at 200 N Dewey.
"(Project # 2009-0026) An application from Darin & Joan Dreisker on behalf of Dancing Bear Inc., for renovation of the façade of the building located at 510 Cherokee Avenue."
The three committee members at the meeting voted unanimously to approve both applications, said Joel Rabin, who filed the police complaint.
Rabin's wife, Sharon Hurst, previously served as chairwoman of the committee.
Rabin said the members who voted on Dec. 15 were Eric Randall, whose term expires January 2011; Erika Phillips, term expiring September 2012; and Dan Keleher Jr., whose second term ends in September 2012.
Rabin, an FOI Oklahoma Inc. member, said that during the public comment portion of the meeting, he told the committee members they had just violated the Open Meeting Act.
Under the statute, each agenda must "identify all items of business to be transacted" by the public body at the meeting. (OKLA. STAT. tit. 25, § 311(B)(1))
The Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals has said agendas should be worded in "plain language, directly stating the purpose of the meeting, in order to give the public actual notice." (Haworth Bd. of Ed. of Independent School Dist. No. I-6, McCurtain County v. Havens, 1981 OK CIV APP 56, ¶ 8)
The purpose of the statute "to encourage and facilitate an informed citizenry's understanding of the governmental processes and governmental problems . . . is defeated if the required notice is deceptively worded or materially obscures the stated purpose of the meeting," the court said.
Any act or omission that "has the effect of actually deceiving or misleading the public regarding the scope of matters to be taken up at the meeting" would be a "willful" violation of the Open Meeting Act, the court said. That includes any action exceeding the scope of action defined by the agenda.
Anyone willfully violating the Open Meeting Act commits a misdemeanor and can be fined up to $500 and sentenced up to one year in the county jail. (OKLA. STAT. tit. 25, § 314)
Also, any action taken in "willful violation" of the Open Meeting Act is "invalid." (OKLA. STAT. tit. 25, § 313)

Oklahoma City officials refuse to disclose DOBs of employees; newspaper criticizes DA for advice not to release county employees DOBs
This blog, too, criticized Prater's reasoning a week ago and pointed out that his letter was mute on the most-important point: Why the public's interest in learning about its employees was so outweighed by individual employee privacy that disclosure would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy.
Tuesday, December 22, 2009
Okla. Co. DA: Disclosure of county employee DOBs would be clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy; Okla. AG releases employee birth dates
Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater says disclosing the birth dates of all county employees would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of the employees' privacy, The Oklahoman reported today.
Under the statute, governments "may keep personnel records confidential … where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy such as employee evaluations, payroll deductions, employment applications submitted by persons not hired by the public body, and transcripts from institutions of higher education maintained in the personnel files of certified public school employees." (OKLA. STAT. tit. 51, § 24A.7(A)(2))
Employee evaluations and payroll deductions are not available in other public records. Birth dates are.
A federal appellate court, for example, said a right of privacy did not protect the name, age, and date of birth of registered sex offenders because the information was "already fully available to the public."

Enid officials won't identify two police officers placed on administrative leave because of homicide investigation
Enid officials won't tell the public which two police officers are under investigation because of how a homicide investigation was handled, the Enid News & Eagle and The Oklahoman reported this week.
The two officers are on paid administrative leave, the newspapers reported.
The News & Eagle noted that the public statement it received from police officials said the officers were "suspended with pay."
The public might never know the names of the officers.
A recent attorney general opinion said a public agency may keep secret the names of employees placed on paid administrative leave if, under the agency's personnel policies, that action doesn't constitute "a 'final' or 'disciplinary' action, nor a 'final disciplinary action resulting in loss of pay, suspension, demotion, or termination.'" (2009 OK AG 33)
Attorney General Drew Edmondson said once the investigation is complete and a final disciplinary action occurs, "the record(s) indicating that action must be must be available for public inspection and copying."
The News & Eagle reported that Enid City Attorney Andrea Chism disavowed any connection to the press release and called the use of the word suspension unfortunate.
According to both newspapers, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation will conduct a criminal investigation into the officers' actions. An administrative investigation by the police department would follow.
"I'm not releasing the names until a decision is made on criminal actions or disciplinary action requiring the release of open records," Enid Police Chief Rick West told the News & Eagle.

OKC discloses DOB of employee; newspaper learns he filed bankruptcy prior to city investigation
"The only exception ... would be if the agency makes a specific finding that the release of the record would constitute a 'clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,'" Edmondson said in a letter telling state agencies of his formal opinion on the subject.
Smith changed course on Tuesday, telling reporter Bryan Dean in an e-mail:
"Mr. Martin could claim that his date of birth is confidential, however, after much debate and consideration, the City has decided that Mr. Martin's interest is outweighed by the public's exercise of their political power.
"I trust that you and the Oklahoman will exercise the utmost care in deciding if you will publish this date of birth," Smith said.
The newspaper did not publish Martin's birth date.
Citing Edmondson's opinion, Smith also made a request of the newspaper.
"[T]o assist the City in the balancing test required by the revised opinion of the Attorney General, please advise me what you perceive to be the public's interest in knowing each employee's date of birth," he wrote.

At my last regular pre-natal appointment I had a glucose tolerance test which tests for gestational diabetes. Unfortunately, my levels following the 1 hour test were elevated so I had to go back in last week for a 3 hour re-test. Thankfully, the results of the re-test came back normal, so it appears that everything is okay! What a relief!
Our next appointment is Monday, 10/5... we are SO VERY excited about this appointment because we will be having our 4D ultrasound that morning! We can't wait to see what she looks like... hopefully she will cooperate with us so we can get some clear pictures of her beautiful face! I wonder who she's going to look like?!?
It truly is amazing how quickly the past few months have flown by and a little scary to think that in less than 3 months we'll be parents!

Need a getaway place where you are surrounded by winter, yet still with the comforts of home?
For over 25 years, the school I teach at – St. John's-Kilmarnock – has been running a winter week of outdoor ed. and science/ecology field research. For the past number of years it has been at Bark Lake Leadership Centre, near Irondale (near Minden – Haliburton Highlands), Ontario. We do the same in the fall, but this is about the beauty of winter.
The setting is beautiful, the meals are fabulous and the folks up there are very accommodating. There is some Nordic skiing, probably 10km in total, so it's not for the ardent skier, but rather for people who enjoy being in nature more than covering long distances. The habitats are varied with lake, mature mixed forest wetlands with beaver lodges, and a spectacular bog.
Winter, in particular, is beautiful up there. When much of urban southern Ontario is mired in grey slush, Bark Lake sparkles with fresh snow and sunshine. I recommend giving Joe or Adam a call (1-888-517-9999) or sending an email (firstname.lastname@example.com) to inquire about spending a few days there.

Raised on an island in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Trevor Hall realized at a young age that music was more than just a passion – it was, rather, his life's art. At sixteen, he recorded his first album, soon after which he left South Carolina for Idyllwild Arts Academy in California. There he studied classical guitar and was also introduced to the practices of yoga and meditation, which would greatly influence his life and his music.
Hall's music, a blend of roots and folk music with hints of inspiration from India, has led him to a series of sold-out tours and collaborations with artists such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, Xavier Rudd and Nahko & Medicine for the People.
Trevor Hall's Chapter of the Forest (2014) and KALA (2015), debuted at #3 and #2 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart respectively. He is currently touring around the US and Australia. While on tour, Hall collects donations to support children's education in India.
Hall's latest album, The Fruitful Darkness, became the #1 Kickstarter Music campaign of 2017 (#30 of all time out of 53,000 Music projects) and is being released in three song installments on specific lunar dates, culminating in a 14-song deluxe edition release, June 1st 2018.

Q. I have lost my router password and can't connect my laptop computer to it
wirelessly. What can I do?
A. There are actually TWO passwords related to your router, one for the
wireless Internet connection and another for accessing the internal router
settings. If you have lost your wireless password, you will have to go
inside your router to determine what that password is. Because you have
probably lost that password as well, here are general directions for the
entire procedure.
First, Google your router's make and model number along with the words
"default password". This will lead you to the original factory-installed
User Name and Password information along with the router's IP address (also
called "default gateway") usually it's 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
Using that information, type the following into your browser:
http://192.168.1.1 (or whatever IP address is provided). You will see a
login screen where you should enter the default User Name and Password you
have already obtained. If the factory login information has not been
changed, you will enter the router's Settings area. This information is
generally similar between manufacturers and you should look for a "Wireless"
or "Security" tab and then look around for the wireless Password (also
referred to as a "Key" or "Passphrase"). Write it down and then enter it
into your laptop's wireless connection configuration and go surfing.
Of course, if the router's password has been changed, this procedure won't
work and you'll have to take an additional step. Using information provided
by the router manufacturer's manual, determine how to reset the router.
Usually, there will be specific directions about leaving the power on or off
and holding in a reset button on the back of the router. After a period of
time the router will revert to its original factory settings and the default
User Name and Password determined above will allow you to access the router.
At that point, you should continue on and choose a new wireless Password.
And, of course, this would be a very good time to write down the two sets of
User Names and Passwords for future reference.

text: Although my favorite season is definitely fall, the downside is that this time of year traditionally means the start of cold and flu season for most people. I've been very lucky to avoid the flu most years (I can't remember having it since I was little – knock on wood), but I do tend to catch a bit of a cold once the school year starts. This year was one of those years and I was a bit under the weather the past few days, hence no post this past Monday. Oh, and in case it isn't obvious, today's found photo has to do with fall and not my germs. Happy fall!

Whew. I'm glad that 2011 is ending. While it's not been a super horrible year, it's been frustrating. To recap…
- Strained left adductor
- At least three colds in the spring
- Hubs went out of town on extended trips twice
- I got laid off from work
- Husband's career plans were changed by the powers that be
- Lucky was diagnosed with cancer
- Dishwasher broke and we had issues getting it replaced (I know, that's a #firstworldproblem if there ever was one, but it was frustrating at the time)
- Lucky died
There were some good times though…
- I quickly got a new job with a related organization
- Fun times in Nashville
- Fun times in Seattle
- Family Fun Day 2011
- Good visit with family in Georgia over Christmas
- Allergies diagnosis
- Improved left adductor
- I'm so much closer to graduation that I was this time last year
Some friendships were strengthened (yay!), while some frayed (boo). I hate that there are people that I'm not as close to know as I was a year ago, but I honestly believe that maybe now is not our time. Our time may have already passed or it may happen again in the future. I'm not going to stress about it (too much) and wish those friends nothing but love and happiness.
I'm physically stronger and healthier than I was this time last year.
I didn't write as much here as I had hoped.
In all, I'd say this year was a wash. Stay tuned for my post tomorrow about the things I'm looking forward to in 2012.

Am in Milwaukee. Am in random mood. Sister's router broke, so internet access sporatic at best. V disconnected!
Feeling a bit behind in schoolwork due to deathly cold last two weeks, but working to catch up. Will succeed, one way or other.
Happy to be healthy, and thrilled to not be at work. Train to Chicago tomorrow. Family goodness, though probably no time to see friends (sadness), then trains planes and automobiles to Ann Arbor... Eventually even home.
Must trim fingernails. Goodnight.

The Mapleson Cylinders - Program Notes
The Artists -- with an index to their Mapleson recordings
Lodovico Viviani
Lodovico Viviani
, Italian bass from Genoa, made his Metropolitan Opera debut as the Duke of Verona in
Roméo et Juliette
on December 14, 1891, the opening night performance. In 1901-02, he appeared as Reinmar in
Gregorio in
Fiorello in
Retz in
Nachtigall in
the Corporal in
Fille du Régiment,
Mime Alexandrin in
the Herald in
and Don Alonzo in
Le Cid.
He was paid $940 for a season of sixty-two performances. At the end of Grau's regime in 1903, Viviani and his wife Marie Van Cauteren retired to her family's farm in Kentucky, but soon wearied of the bucolic life and returned to New York. He became an assistant stage manager at the Met and remained for many seasons. He reappeared briefly onstage to substitute as Schwartz in a 1905
$5 was added to his salary of $15 a week for this performance. Many programs for the period, including the
one, bear his signature -- testifying, in accordance with one of the Met's oldest and most enduring of traditions, that the cast as printed, or written in, is the one that actually performed.

When Weasels become agitated, they immediately begin to do this. The general action is for the weasel to shake uncontrollably, turning back and forth, with eyes wide and mouth open, tongue sticking out. Weasels may use this as an attack or just to scare away people. Ogling, however, has an effect on their crazy blood-driven rage and calms them down.
Derivatives of Flipping the Fuck out are used exclusively by the Weasel King, one being "Pondering the Fuck out" when he is concerned about the ultimate fate of the universe. The most powerful flipping out, however, is the Weasel King's "Final Flip Out", wherein the aforementioned king fuses with Problem Sleuth (who is also using Sepulchritude) and the two combined deal massive damage, capable of eliminating the hundreds of health meters of Demonhead Mobster Kingpin in short order.
Nervous Broad also uses this move when she picks up her lipstick which causes her to NERVOUSLY FLIPS THE FUCK OUT.
Hysterical Dame uses this move when she picks up her teddy bear which causes her to FLIP THE FUCK OUT HYSTERICALLY.
In Homestuck, a player commands John to do this while he is attacking some Imps. Similarly, as the first Ogres approach, a nearby imp quickly absconds the fuck out of there.
Lil Cal causes Dave to sort of flip the fuck out.
In the Midnight Crew Intermission, Clubs Deuce, after realizing that he is holding a Bull Penis Cane, proceeds to flip the fuck out.
Eridan flips his shit and kills Feferi and Kanaya, so Karkat flips the fuck out.
Jack Noir, with the power of the Black Queen's Ring, flips the fuck out legendarily on the Battlefield
It isn't said directly that Doc Scratch flips the fuck out, but what he does is pretty similar.
Similarly Jadesprite pretty much flips the fuck out immediately on prototyping. As doesTavrisprite.
Sollux asks Aradia to calm her robot versions down because they're about to flip the fuck out.
In [S] Collide, Hussie flips the fuck out like a weasel while in Homosuck mode.

Another great night. Ceccioni's is consistently great. Food, wine list, service, all excellent
Excellent experience. Restaurant has adapted well to current circumstances. Maintains consistently high standard.
The restaurant is amazing
Don't care if there is a virus or a plague, I would still attend the venue as the service and food is amazing
We loved our dining experience !!! Our server was wonderful; a young woman from Yorkshire. Wine was excellent and food
Was superb!!! Look forward to returning!!!
The food was beyond average, incredibly disappointing and unbelievably overpriced. Nice looking restaurant though. It's the only reason I gave three stars for ambience. Staff was also attentive. Albeit, they hardly ever smiled. Would not recommend to anyone...ever. I am bummed I didn't take my partner to one of the other Italian restaurants that came highly recommended by Italians. None of my Italian friends had ever heard of Cecconi's. I take full responsibility for not listening to them. Never again.
Amazing food, excellent service and very good value
Amazing food, great venue & amazing service from all staff. Keep it up, will be back when in Melbourne next
Our food was amazing and the service was perfect.
We had a great time today. Thank you Antonio and Anna.
Exceptional service and value as always- great long lunch
I went there Saturday evening 29th Feb with my 3 sisters
The staff were lovely waiters gorgeous so friendly
The food was lovely some main meals were a bit small. My sister ordered the salmon and she thought she was getting cooked salmon but it was a smoked salmon and tiny as anything so she had some of my beef pasta which was divine.
The cocktail that was designed that day was divine it had lemon vodka and limon cello yum in it
overpriced and unfriendly waiter
flea in glass of wine
Sublime, phenomenal service. Outstanding food, great ambience overall
First time there, loved it, will be back.
Great place to celebrate those special events
Lovely atmosphere and perfect for a date night. The food was outstanding and the wait staff was very friendly and nice. I'm very happy I went with the daily recommendation from our waiter, I've never had such good pasta in my life. Thank you.
Fab restaurant....bit on the pricier side for us but great food and fantastic service
Absolutely recommend it. Fantastic food, staff and is in fact our fav!!!
The ambience was great. Food was generally good, but the oysters wasn't too fresh.
My champagne was flat and not very cold at all I mentioned this and did get given another glass which was from a fresh bottle and it was better but not very cold sadly and I don't drink very often so was a bit disappointed sadly Plus one of our appetisers was forgotten which worked out ok in the end as we had enough food but just bummed. Would still go there again as it's a favourite but it's not cheap so hence we were disappointed.
The staff and team were absolutely beautiful and so attentive. I am getting married this weekend so the staff congratulated me, were very happy and excited for me, and further when dessert was served brought out a beautiful plate with a chocolate that said "Bride to be" and i was absolutely over the moon! The food was delicious as ever! We are here quite frequently and we have always had perfect meals! Love love love!
Lovely, relaxed Italian restaurant. When in Melbourne, it is one of our favourites. We have recommended it to f try sends, who have enjoyed it also.
Someone took us here last year and we were impressed! We went on our own this year ( we are tennis fanatics!🎾). AND we're not disappointed. The starter was artistic and very enjoyable. I had duck my companion had veal both excellent flavour. Our waiter Ben was very knowledgable AND definitely deserves a mention! I live in Perth my companion Hong Kong ! We SHALL return next year 😁 A VERY enjoyable meal.
We had a lovely meal at Cecconi's and were very well looked after by Marcus. Such a treat and very enjoyable. Thank you.
Still the best Italian in Melbourne!
Can't wait to return!
Absolutely fantastic experience! Atmosphere, fine food, beautiful wine and impeccable service. The outdoor area is perfect to chill out with drinks before or after dinner. Too bad we live in Sydney otherwise we will be there every week! This restaurant made our trip to Melbourne memorable.
Wait staff very good; accommodated spouse's off-menu request. Nice atmosphere- met some very nice people at the next table.
Better instruction on the website when wanting to book for the express lunch. Booked online and were seated in the restaurant which did not offer the special - were then moved to the bar area. Waiter was rude when taking our orders, not warm or friendly, didn't look at us or make eye contact. Won't be in a rush to go back anytime soon.
Superb food and service for our table of 6, a great night
Absolute joy to eat here. Beautiful service and delicious food! It never disappoints and the cocktails are a must.
Excellent as usual, always high quality food and service
This is at least the 4th time we've eaten here and not been disappointed on each visit.
Amazing linguini
Amazing food. Excellent service. Definitely will come back but for a special occasion.
Can't fault our dinner in anyway.
Thank you
Great service and always amazing food, Best Italian Restaurant for mine.
I think we just had a bad night as I've always had good service. On this occasion we had to ask for service at our table time and time and time again, we felt like we had been forgotten or that they were short staffed that night. I had to go up to the desk twice to get service on basic things such as topping up water, taking our order, or requesting bread with the meal. It was not clear who was looking after our table. It was embarrassing as we were entertaining guests but the meal was delicious.
We had a fantastic night, food and service were first class, can't wait to return.
Visited numerous times now. Outstanding experience from arrival. Would highly reccomend.
Beautiful food with very friendly and speedy service
Although the food was ok...not outstanding, the service was a bit funny...Polite but with an air of grandiose and like we should be grateful that we were been served?
Average experience overall ...not going back in a hurry
Food was faultless. Lovely staff. Looking forward to next time.

Is it possible for the needles to penetrate the breast implant? If the answer is yes, is medical tattooing safer? For me, it sounds like is the same thing, but doctors would probably not tattoo areolas if this was the case. Were you informed about the risks?
This depends on the type of reconstruction that's being done; either 3D nipple reconstruction by a traditional artist or by micropigmentation. Lots of women usually go for the traditional methods like flap reconstruction but these could result in the implants being exposed to air and so they could be removed when that happens. I spoke to a plastic surgeon once who explained to me that the skin is usually thin and tight following the use of implants and tattooing this sensitive region could possibly penetrate into the implant cavity and result in a disaster. It's sad to think about a woman who caught an infection from this very procedure and needed to undergo even more surgery to correct it.
3D nipple reconstruction by micropigmentation is relatively safer since it only bases the ink on a superficial level of the breast and not as deep as the traditional artist. This lets the ink simply absorb into the skin without the risk of damaging the implants and with a touch up every few years, you'll be good to go!
I recently underwent a mastectomy and had my breasts reconstructed. The final part of the process was to have my nipples reconstructed. I decided to my nipples reconstructed using 3d tattooing. One of my concerns was with how the tattoo needles would affect my implants. My implants were placed underneath my muscles. Because there were several layers of skin and fat between my reconstructed breasts and muscles, there would be no issue.
While the chances of tattoo needles affecting implant reconstruction are low, it is still a possibility. I was told that it would be a different story if I had thin breast tissue and little fat. I suggest consulting with your doctor before seeking the services of a tattoo artist. I scheduled an appointment with my physician before visiting a tattoo artist that focuses on reconstruction. My doctor gave me an examination to determine if I was completely healed and in good condition to undergo reconstruction.
I had my left nipple fixed, and I had saline implants at the time. My doctor reassured me ahead of schedule that it was a perfectly safe procedure for me to undergo, and there was a very small chance anything would go wrong. From the way my doctor talked, I was under the impression that how safe it is to get nipple work with breast implants depends on what exactly needs to be done. I had an inverted nipple, and I was lucky enough to have the type that can be easily treated with a surgical stretching method. If my nipple had been the other type that has to be treated with a dividing method, I'm not sure if I could have safely had the surgery. You should talk to a doctor about what you need done and if it is safe to attempt with breast implants.
I have breast implants, and I had 3D nipple reconstruction last year. The specialist uses very small needles for the procedure and does not go deep enough into your skin to penetrate your new breast implants. If you decide to get a medical tattoo, which is one-dimensional in appearance, instead of a 3D tattoo, know that your risks are the same. My nipple reconstruction specialist told me that there is always the risk of infection in both procedures. As long as your nipple reconstruction is performed in a sterile environment and by an experienced, certified specialist, your procedure should go well.
I completely understand your concern and you are asking good questions. Both 3D nipple reconstruction and nipple tattooing are safe procedures and won't affect your implants. If you are talking about a complete nipple reconstruction, that's done by a surgeon with small incisions around the nipple. I'm a breast cancer survivor and got the 3D nipple tattoo. It's very cool! The whole procedure took about 3 hours and the tattoo artist was amazing. The work is so good sometimes I forget that they are just tattoos. You can also get pigment injections around your nipples, so it depends on what your needs are.
When I had my breast reconstruction surgery, my surgeon reassured me that it would be safe to get tattoos. It turns out that the implant sits way beneath several layers of fat and skin, while the tattoo needle just goes into the second layer of skin. However, there is a slight risk if all the fat underneath your skin was removed during the surgery and breast reconstruction. You might want to chat with your plastic surgeon before you get a tattoo. I'm not sure what the wait time is for medical tattooing, but my tattoo artist told me that he normally asks customers to wait at least three months after reconstructive surgery before getting 3D nipple reconstruction to ensure that everything is healed.

One of the best ways to save money as a student in London is finding a place to live that's within your budget.
Looking for cheap student accommodation in London?

Basic Approach to Content
Whether a letter of inquiry, request, complaint, or termination, the letter should contain an introductory paragraph that clearly states the document's purpose. Follow with a main body that outlines the points that need to be made. A complaint or termination letter may need more detail than a request or new hire letter, so the subject will dictate the length. The concluding paragraph will outline action to be taken by any involved parties.
Know Who You're Writing For
Effective business letters are written with the reader(s) in mind. Organize thoughts beforehand and once you start, keep it brief. People at work are busy, and wordiness can lead to scanning and people possibly setting your letters aside altogether.
Do's & Don'ts of Business Letters
- Use a formal voice, even if you are familiar with the recipient. You cannot anticipate who else may need to read the letter at some point.
- Do not use "don't" or "can't" or any other contractions. Always go with "do not" or "cannot."
- Outside of academia or medical and scientific letters, usage of large words should be kept to a minimum.
- Avoid pointing fingers even if you want to. Conversations can cover the specifics, but letters don't need to. Don't write, "You should have seen this project through." Go with, "There is no reason why this project was not completed on time."
- Stay away from the passive voice.
- Never use slang.
- Address people by their titles.
- Carefully proofread. Do not rely on your word processor's tools to review the document. If possible, have another set of eyes review the letter.
- Whatever your letter's intent, try to end with a conclusion conducive to all parties.

Photos: KKK and Black Panthers Square Off in Texas
PARIS, Texas (CBS/AP) What started as a protest at a town square in Paris, Texas on Tuesday, ended in a screaming showdown with police in the middle.
On one side of a downtown street in the east Texas town stood about 200 protesters chanting "black power" and led by a group of New Black Panthers clad in paramilitary outfits and black berets. On the other side of the street stood several dozen counter-protesters - a motley collection of self-proclaimed Ku Klux Klan members, skinheads and Nazi flag lovers yelling "white power!"
Photos: KKK and Black Panthers Square Off in Texas
At the center of the debate was a disturbing death: a black man was dragged 70 feet under a truck to his death. Two of his white friends were charged with his killing and subsequently released due to lack of evidence. Also, another man had come forward saying he may have accidentally run the victim over with his gravel truck.
But the facts of the case don't speak to the anger that has boiled over in this small east Texas town named after the world's romance capital.
In the end, state police in riot gear separated the groups, breaking up a standoff that ended with two arrests and no injuries.

Clans should not be able to use sieges if no town hall 12 is in the current war. This is a disadvantage for clans with no town ball 12 in the clan.
Clans should not be able to use sieges if no town hall 12 is in the current war. This is a disadvantage for clans with no town ball 12 in the clan.
So you have two alternatives: recruit TH12s to your clan, or join a clan that has TH12s. Supercell isn't going to place war restrictions
The logical basis you are using is: if a clan doesn't have X th level then they shouldn't be allowed to use Y, since only X th and above can donate Y.
Phoenix simply took your logical basis and applied it elsewhere in clash, such as troops, but it could be applied to spells too.
Phoenix simply used a logic test to show you how your logic would not work in clash.
If SC doesn't allow siege use in war unless a th12/13 is part of the line-up, then why should they allow certain troops or spells to be used unless X th level is in the line up?
Simply put, your logical basis is full of fallacies, hence SC will never even consider your idea let alone implement it.

Thanks TerMinus Prime for the sig pic
To implement the wish, I would suggest:
1. War attack troops are stored on the war map, in the war base training grounds.
2. War attack CCs are on the war map war bases.
3. War map CCs can only be filled by war participants.
4. Defence CCs are filled the day before war (preparation day, or preceding CWL day)
5. Attack CCs are filled on war day
War map troops, war map camps, clan castles, defence and attack, are one the war map and disconnected to home village troops.
Home village troops and CCs are unrelated to troops on the war map.
This means you can do multiplayer attacks in parallel with war attacks.
Many people disagreeing because apparently you HAVE to have a th12 in your clan to enjoy wars. That should not be the case.
Th10-11 was balanced before the sieges and those defenses hasn't got a buff/nerf in a while. So the balance is mostly the same. Although it would be difficult to implement, IMO.
I can sympathise with OP cause I come from a clan that only had up to th9 when th11 was max. And I remember the frustration of seeing all those max bowlers in their ccs and we couldn't even get one.
This is getting little love, and you can say its clan v clan, if the clan has access to it they can use it.
But I do honestly believe if both clans in the current war are TH11 then I dont see why anyone should oppose that only TH11 troops can be used. Really the war is matched based on the players on the map, so why not make the war between these players only? As George said, Only these players being able to fill CC and donate for war troops. (I know this may be a code problem blocking CC troops used for war attacks), but if this got done I wouldnt object...
I did a TH3 only clan where we were all TH3. It was fun until opponents were attacking with maxed level balloons. Was never fun and always a shame it was often not fair spirit war. Would have been great if the clans there only ran TH3 donated troops

Quickly zero in on the best fitting candidates with Jane's online pre-employment assessments. Our assessments library includes cognitive, personality, and skill-based assessments developed by I/O psychologists who have put them through rigorous reliability and validation tests.
Many managers think reference checks are a waste of time because candidates just give them positive references, and employers tend to rely on solely verifying dates of employment.
Jane offers a smart, conscientious (and most importantly) simple approach.

The Novo Nordisk travelling exhibit of the faces of people who have changed for the better after a diabetes diagnosis is now online. It's been a long time coming.
For several months the exhibit has been on tour in major cities around the country. Now it's coming to Chicago's Navy Pier from September 26-29 and Atlanta's Woodruff Park on October 17-20. Novo Nordisk is planning to continue promoting the Meet the Face of Change exhibit in 2009, but hasn't announced the details yet.
Since it hasn't come to the state where I live, Colorado, I haven't seen it in person. But I am familiar with it. Mine is one of the 36 faces of change.
A Novo Nordisk representative pitched the story idea to me at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting in Chicago in June 2007. I wrote it up in my free "Diabetes Update" newsletter.
But it wasn't until my friend Gretchen Becker suggested that I could be one of the faces of change that I got back to them. Gretchen also posts regularly here and wrote one of the best books about diabetes, The First Year — Type 2 Diabetes: an Essential Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. I reviewed the first edition of that book for the American Diabetes Association's website.
Novo Nordisk surprised me. I didn't expect them to include me, since I've never used any of their diabetes medications. In fact, I told them that I was using Byetta — and Novo Nordisk is coming out with a competing GLP-1 analog, liragutide. That's a classy company.
My changed face is second from the right on the top row:
Photo by Kevin Moloney for Novo Nordisk, October 1, 2007
Novo hired famed New York Times photographer Kevin Moloney for my photo shoot. It was Kevin's idea that we hike up to Lake Isabelle in the Indian Peaks Wilderness for the shoot at first light.
That was fine with me. But it meant hiking for a couple of hours in the dark with nothing but headlamps to guide our way. The icy trail made it even more interesting.
I was glad to participate in the exhibit without any compensation. My only goal was to inspire others.
But I had assumed that my change they would write up was my weight loss. Instead they featured my hiking. My guess is that hiking is less common than losing weight — although with me they go together.
Strangely, participating in this exhibit about change also happened to change me. Not only did the photographer, Kevin, become a friend, but he has taught me a lot about photography. That in turn led to my new "Fitness and Photography for Fun" blog.
Is my face really changed? This was my face before I started on Byetta in February 2006:

Discussion by: demonHi everyone,
i'm Indonesian (from chinese origin) and i think i'm an atheist, i don't believe in god or deities but i can't reject the notion that there's part of me that still can't deny the existence of supernatural phenomenons (ghost, apparition, supernatural power, haunted places, and so on), and living in this country doesn't help either. This is a country where corruption is rampant but still pride itself as one of the biggest islamic (and therefore: morally superior) countries…….the irony, the local cops in my city still sometimes use psychic to help them catch criminal, and few years ago one of the country's minister dreamt about a buried treasure and proposed to make a search team.
Anywho, can someone give me scientific explanation to debunk these supernatural/paranormal thingy for me? you know, being an atheist who still has doubt makes me feel like a hypocrite. Of course so far i haven't experienced any of the supernatural phenomenon myself, but still, stating disbelief without knowing the scientific reason is like saying "pic or it didn't happen" ^_^
i've heard some stories about a psychic can give you a temporary spell to make you be able to see ghost, my logical mind says "perhaps the fraud fools the poor victim with hallucinogen", but on the other hand i think "ow, you don't believe it huh? just wait til you see one and shit your pants off".
I've read some stories about 2001 sampit conflict and how dayak people used their psychic power when head hunting the madurese people, flying daggers, instant death spell, pretty cool if you hear that in videogames, not so much in real life.
And this one, it's indonesian news about a cave in biak (which used to be used as a fortress by Japanese
soldiers in WW2) and how sometimes tourists got possessed by the spirits of dead japanese soldier. Sounded like a plot for cheesy horror movie, but still…..it's news.
any opinion appreciated.

So I need some advice. I made a quilt back, but I like it too much to be a backing for that particular quilt! I want it to be a front. So I have it laid out (a little sloppily, sorry) with a piece of fabric I'm thinking of using as a backing. I know backings don't necessarily have to match the front, but do you think this looks good at all? It's CT fabric, called Soaked. The patchwork is done in CT's Urban Odyssey, which goes back to 2012 at least. I hope this is a good enough picture to judge. There's no white in the patchwork front part, so that's the part I'm unsure of with my choice of backing. Thanks for the help!

whatever you decide be good.
Looks good to me. Now you can have lots of fun quilting with tear drops, rain, lighting, clouds different threads and so on.
The backing colors pick out the quilt colors and look great together. I agree with Pam on the binding. I like how you designed the front and your color choices.
Looks good to me. Colors blend well. Go for it.
Looks great - colors work well together, and both appear to have a graphic feel. Go for it!
I agree with the others, Kathleen. Looks good! I agree with Pam's suggestion on the binding, too.
Thank you everyone. I appreciate the input. I haven't decided on the binding yet but will keep Pam's suggestion in mind. Not sure if I have any of the green fabric left.
I too think both fabrics would look great together.
Absolutely!!! What color are you using for the binding??? I would try to pick a color that compliments both sides...like the green fabric.
I think they look great together! Coordinating colors, looks good. Go for it!

Caitlyn Jenner shares behind-the-scenes photo getting glam for the ESPYs
There's no denying, Caitlyn Jenner stole the show at the ESPY Awards this year.
The former Olympian was honored with the Arthur Ashe Courage Award this year and delivered a truly inspiring speech touting acceptance of transgender people ... not just her.
After she took the stage, she joked about how tough it was to be a woman, to choose the right dress, hair and makeup -- the whole beauty process. Jenner recognized her kids who were there in full force to support her and thanked them for their unending support.
Of course all the fashion police's eyes were on the 65-year-old who wore a stunning Versace dress. Jenner shared this behind-the-scenes photo to her Instagram with the caption "Behind the scenes of the most incredible, unforgettable night. It takes a village... #GlamSquad#ESPYs"

Do I have a yummy recipe for you! Spanish style Home Fries.
My mother-in-law actually put me on to these YUMMY home fries. She made them for me a few years back & I've added them to my breakfast repertoire. They are easy peasy & are great for when you have a multitude of mouths to feed, like I did this past weekend.
Ingredients needed: Serves 8
- Goya Sazón
- Goya Adobo
- Garlic Powder
- Olive Oil
- 8 potatoes
- ½ onion
- ½ green pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- Butter (optional)
I peeled half of the potatoes & left the majority of the peel on the other half. I find that this gives the home fries additional texture. I nuked them for 7 minutes in a microwave safe bowl.
While the potatoes were softening in the microwave, I chopped up the green pepper, onion and garlic cloves. I usually throw in red and yellow pepper as well. But because I am me, I forgot to grab them at the market.
Next I combined both the potatoes and veggies on a hot skillet, which was prepped with a bit of olive oil. I used my spatula to break up the potatoes into smaller pieces & mix the ingredients around. Now, here comes the yummy goodness. I added 2 packets of Sazón and was generous with both the Adobo & garlic powder. On a side note, I've noticed that whenever I'm making a Spanish dish, I never measure my ingredients. Everything is done according to taste. I hope that this doesn't throw you off.
I stirred the papas around until they seemed equally sprinkled with the seasonings, then covered them to allow to soften and cook further. Before covering them, I added just about a tablespoon of butter under each top. Yes, I know! So unhealthy. But I tell you they are sooooooooo yummy. And we're all entitled to be gluttonous every once in awhile.
And there you have it, a good 15 minutes later the home fries were done and ready to be served. All while, I was making these heavenly potatoes, I was baking eggs. You heard me right, baking eggs, along with bacon and toast. Check out this tasty recipe from Martha Stewart. My guests loved the egg cups, but fell head over heels for my home fries. Go ME!!
Well my friends, I hope you give my little recipe a try. Buen Provecho!

How to make a field goal
Practicing goal scoring skills at home without a goal post often forces players to use two marking objects and some imagination to create a goal area. The problem with this is that the goal area is not realistic; it is too low on the ground to train our eye to concentrating on formal, higher goal posts. Not everyone has the

Head needed to come off, valve seals were gone , the head had cracks and couldn't be fixed,

How do I start a Pajero jeep with Low compression ? Answered
I bought a pajero sport 2007 2.5 a few months ago that always had trouble starting.
I would heat it 4 times then crank and she would pick up with a puff of smoke then run fine.
No problem starting when warm.
Having ruled out the plugs (replaced) the relay (12 volts) a local garage man did a compression test and
told me that two of the cylinders had low compression
We were going to run some oil additive through it to see if that would help
But now the B**ch wont start at all.
it cranks fine but wont pick up.
Its outside the house and I am waiting for the mechanic to get time to do a house call.
I was wondering if there is any sure fire way of starting it up with slightly low compression so that I can run some
oil additive through it
or if I get it started what is the best treatment to put through it.
also If I have to open up the engine how complicated and expensive would it be

(Another learning experience)
Thanks for all the advice lads , turns out the glow plug fuse was blown with all the warming, so its going again. but still hard to start
I am going to wait til my friend arrives and take the head off to see what the story is with low compression
1. get the low comp fixed or it will always be a problem and may well get worse.
2. Impossible to say until the top is lifted off, could be a simple thing 0 leaking gasket or may be expensive - cracked cylinder bore.. Can't tell
Would you reckon the engine definately needs to come out to have a look?
No, only the head needs to be off to start with. Follow Vyger's tricks, then PeterCD's compression testing with oil first.
Is it gas or diesel?
Lots of miles, like over 150,000?
Chances are good its a head gasket going bad. It can be expensive depending on how hard it is to replace. One of those things that getting to it is harder than replacing it.
If its a gas engine that has been under a heavy load a lot it could also be burned valves. That requires pulling the head also.
You need to have a mechanic that you can trust and not one that is going to take advantage of you.
92K miles only
Its diesel. it belonged to the council dog pound and so prob did very little towing.
"You need to have a mechanic that you can trust and not one that is going to take advantage of you."
aint that the truth , thats why Im trying to gather as much info as i Can
Diesels are made to go lots of miles so that few implies there is another problem. I have a VW rabbit diesel so I have played with it a lot. Two other factors that could be at play here are: 1. The timing could be a little off. The mechanical timing has to be dead on for it to start. The fuel has to be injected just when it will be compressed enough and the valves need to be closed to contain the compression. Once its running it can tolerate a little bit off. Your timing belt could have jumped a notch. The second thing is the fuel injection pump. The pump could be out of adjustment. I had to replace mine and got a rebuilt one which worked great at first. Then it somehow changed its adjustment. Under the advise of a very good diesel guy I took the seal off and reset the pump and it worked fine again and started. I would check those things.
As far as low compression that might be able to be fixed by re torquing the head bolts. A diesel head is under a tremendous amount of pressure and the bolts can actually stretch, They are supposed to be re torqued after having been in operation for a period. You need a good torque wrench and you need to follow a specific pattern which will be in the repair manual for the engine. Diesel head gaskets are more expensive than gas ones and require extra care in changing, A diesel engine compression is often 400 lbs or more which is almost 4 times as great as a gas engine. The re torquing process is usually to back of the bolts a specific amount, like 1/4 turn and then cranking them down to the specific torque.
Finally, if it has a manual transmission it can often be pull started to get it going so you can analyze what the problem is. Pull starting turns the engine over at a lot higher speed and will often be enough to get even a cranky engine started. Once started you can see how well it runs. If it is putting out white smoke (a leaking head gasket or cracked head) or black smoke meaning the injector pump is putting in to much fuel and needs adjustment.
So, this is what I would have the mechanic do ---
Take off the valve cover and check the timing alignment. Set to TDC the valves, the pump and the crank should all be on their marks. Then follow the manufacturer specs and re torque the head bolts. put the vale cover back on and pull start it so you can see if the fuel settings on the pump need to be adjusted.
Many thanks for all that.
Ill suggest these things things to the mechanic, and Know exactly what he is talking about if he mentions them.
A diesel by its very nature needs high compression to run, the only
thing an additive will sort out is stuck rings, which I strongly suspect
is not the case here.
Might be a blown gasket like others have suggested.
If your radiator water is clear ie no diesel or oil traces, or your dipstick isnt popping out due to pressure in the sump, and you cant hear a whistling canary anywhere in the engine bay, then you've pretty much ruled out a blown gasket.
A teaspoon of oil in the low reading cylinders is the classic check for worn rings, all you need is a suitable compression gauge for diesel engines, the oil gives a much higher reading if the rings are worn.
A selection of spanners and 1/2" drive sockets to remove the head bolts and a torque wrench to properly fasten them again would be the minimum.
So the water looks fine so the head might be ok
are you saying that it might be possible to look in the cylinders without removing the engine??
Sure, you only need to remove the head to look into the cylinders not the entire block.
Sometimes its possible to pull the sump cover with the block still in the engine bay and work from the bottom as well, provided you dont have obstructions like cross members or such like.
But rule out all the easier solutions first, Vyger seems to have a few more items to check before you dive into the head removal route.
Thanks again
Keeping that in reserve for now
Thanks steveastrouk
Get the head off and LOOK.
