![]() Blue sky and deep blue water and Wellington itself nestling on the side of the mountain.” - Agatha Christie Great mountains all round coming down to the water’s edge – the far-off ones with snow on them. “We were in Wellington on a perfect day something which, I gathered from its inhabitants, seldom happened … I have never seen anything in my life as beautiful as Wellington harbour. You look out to sea and then turn around … and everybody’s rubbish is dumped on the sand.” Quote by Agatha Christie about the beach at Hokitika – which has, she said, “the most lovely view of the Southern Alps and Mt Cook in the distance – really beautiful”. Your numerous gentlemen wearing long-faced hats, kid gloves and other fashionable attire … You bear away the palm of supremacy at the metropolis for leeches, drones and parasites, feeding on the public revenue.” - The Evening Post quotes a visitor, 1870. “Wellington remains in the memory as imperial only in the manner of artificial dressiness in everything. “We anchored opposite the town, or rather the straggling village of Auckland, which at first sight has by no means a prepossessing appearance an effect that is unluckily confirmed on a closer inspection.” - W Tyrone Power, soldier, 1846. “At Invercargill, I felt exactly as I might have felt on getting out of a railway in some small English town, and by the time I had reached the inn, and gone through the customary battle as to bedrooms, a tub of cold water, and supper, all the feeling of mystery was gone.” - English novelist Anthony Trollope, 1873. Neither is the country itself attractive.” - Naturalist Charles Darwin, December 1835. Amongst the natives there is absent that charming simplicity which is found at Tahiti and the greater part of the English are the very refuse of society. “I believe we were all glad to leave New Zealand. “We were all full of hope and anxiety to see what had been represented to us as a sort of earthly paradise … I was doomed to witness those very beings who were cheering and shouting as they left the land of their nativity, cast – as it were – upon a barren, dreary and inhospitable shore.” - New settler Alexander Marjoribanks, Port Nicholson, 1840. ![]() “When that first ship came to Whitianga I was afraid of the goblins in her and would not go near the ship till some of our warriors had been on board … the supreme leader talked to us boys … his appearance was noble, and hence we children liked him and he gave a nail to me.” - Te Horeta aka Te Taniwha, account of meeting James Cook in 1769.

![]() Fall is when the teachers return to class. Having lived in Southern Nevada for fifty or so years, I have come to accept that the seasons here are marked by completely different signs. It may be due to our up-bringing in Iowa where there are distinctly marked seasons. I must admit that we also venture outside the valley in pursuit of the changing of trees. Just a short distance down the road is a large tree that tends to turn yellow, then red. These vines turn a vivid red in November. A house on Gubler Ave has the vines that wrap around a series of trees. There is a massive tree near Mack Lyon Middle School. There are the pretty red trees outside the Logandale LDS Ward House on the main highway through town. Can someone explain to me why there is a stop sign next to a gate that leads to a farmer’s field? With the many ups and downs and curves, my wife indicates that she feels as if she is on a roll-a-coaster.Īll that being said, the real purpose of this trip during the fall and early winter is to observe the changing of leaves in many trees encountered on the trip. We have become experts in traversing the new “airport road.” I find the many curves and stops quite interesting. Wait, that is the description of many of our present-day legislators. His answer was: “Yes! You shoot it, quarter it, and pack it on your horse.”Īpparently, he is no fan of the strange looking creature with a large body and a small head. I asked my Utah cowboy friend if he knew how to pack a llama. The llama is a pack animal native to South America. You can even stop to feed them if you have a couple of quarters and can follow direction of the feeder provided. It is always fun to see the newly born llamas. We often follow Moapa Valley Boulevard to see the llamas. But I have never seen a dead quail along the road. Can someone explain how they do this without creating casualties? Dead rabbits are in abundance on the roadways and even a skunk or two. Oh! My! The quail cross the road without looking both ways. It is fun to observe the other animal life along the way: horses, cows and quail. However, periodically the goats disappear for a day or two only to return. Most of the time this pen houses a great number of goats. There is the big white house on the road to the High School that seems nearly completed.Īs we close in on Overton on these back roads, there is a goat pen. There is the old house in Logandale near the post office that is being restored, There is another house a little further down that seems to have been started, yet very little progress has been made. But our conversation is often sprinkled with observation about the properties. Those people living on this route have nothing to fear we are not stalking the area. We enjoy seeing the changes made to the homes and fields encompassed within this route. It is basically the same route each day often ending in a stop at Lin’s market or one of the Hardware Stores in town and sometimes to merely get gas so we can make the trip again for another week. Those who live in Logandale are now saying that nothing is 18 miles from anything in Logandale so what are you talking about? I am talking about an adventure for two old people who have little else to do. Other great locations you get to or from with the St George Shuttle are: Las Vegas, NV, Mesquite NV, St George UT, Hurricane UT, Cedar City UT, Orem UT, Midvale UT, Salt Lake City Airport, Ogden Ut, Idaho Falls and Rexburg ID.No one asked me but… Each day my wife and I take an 18-mile drive to pick up the mail.

Howie Lai plays Ming Sen Shiue in the movie. If he finds us escaping, he’s going to kill us. ![]() Beth, she panicked right away … She said, ‘Mama, don’t do it. It came out just like it was greased … it was a miracle. “I held the door with one hand and I pulled the hinge pin with the other. “I knew the principle of how a door comes off, but I thought, ‘Not very likely that the hinge pin would just come undone, but I thought it’s an idea - maybe the Lord has given me this idea,” Mary said. She then broke open the door while Shiue was away at work. Mary, still chained to her daughter, suddenly remembered how her father used to take hinge pins out of doors. “I think maybe he hoped that we would become his family and forget about our other family and just be his,” Mary said.īut everything changed on July 7. The truth of the matter is, the more kind we were to somebody who is being awful to us, the better our situation was.” “If we’re nice and if we’re pleasant, he becomes more pleasant. “As an eight-year-old child, it became evident to me really quickly, if we’re difficult, he gets more angry and things are worse for us,” Beth said. Shiue also provided Beth a black-and-white TV and brought her board games. Mary and Beth, still bound together, were allowed to shower by the 10th day. Three hundred officers and volunteers initially began searching for the group, local newspaper Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported at the time, stating Mary’s husband, Irv, was initially a suspect until he took a lie-detector test and passed.Įventually, Shiue relaxed his strict house rules. ![]() Picture: Bruce Bisping/Star Tribune via Getty Images Mary Stauffer relied on her faith during times of hopelessness. She and Beth kept prayer vigils daily and shared stories from the Bible. Mary said she credited her faith for keeping her alive while being held in captivity and tortured during those 53 days. His end goal was he was obsessed with my mother and he wanted us to be with him.” The threat was there, but the reality is killing us was not his end goal. ‘If you try to escape, I will kill you’, or he threatened mum, ‘If you don’t do what I want, I’ll kill Beth’, or tell me, ‘If you try to escape, I’ll kill your mother’. ![]() Those times I was alone … there was fear and loneliness … He also threatened to kill us. I was locked away in a closet, so I was removed from it. “When he would take her out for the rape sessions, he never had me know about any of that,” Beth said. Shiue, who owned a local electronics store, kept his dark secret from everyone. Mary and Beth were trapped in the house of horrors for 53 days. Shiue filmed the assaults, which at times lasted for hours, said the outlet. When Shiue arrived at his home, Mary and Beth were shackled and locked in a closet. ![]() It shys away from the self referencing humor plague that Scream started and succeeds in being a very strange splatter/comedy. This film has been unfairly judged! It is in fact a very good 80's style, Splatter, B-movie. There is additional dialog among the townspeople, different shots, and it shows the FDA man walking around more testing and the Water supply truck is in view longer. Instead of just the cops drinking the contaminated lemonade followed by a country song with the townspeople, the whole entire town shows up and has a cup. Then they pour gasoline and one cop lights a match and cellar goes up in flames followed by more shots of blood and guts on the walls, ceiling, and floor. The human-bonfire scene when they say "We got another one in the basement" immediately goes to a shot of the cellar door opening from the inside, then a bunch of shotguns appear and start shooting like crazy.He yells at the hick as he throws him down there and says "When they get here, tell them I didn't do it!", then slams the door. An additional scene where Rider Strong grabs the long-haired hick after the attack and drags him down to the cellar.In the "R" rated version it cuts away quick and only shows the aftermath from a difficult-to-see angle. ![]() The gunshot to Burt's head in the cabin is bloodier.This immediately follows when they hear the dog trying to get Karen in the shed and they shoot a bullet and tell Karen that they will stay outside with her to keep the dog away. A scene of Burt sitting outside guarding the shed with his shot gun.An extended scene of everyone arguing around the fireplace when Burt makes a joke about his burnt marshmallow.When it is discovered that Karen has the disease during an intimate scene, there is an additional scene that follows the "Don't.Leave.Me!" where Burt comes into the room and yells at her about how the truck isn't ready yet, and they have to finish cleaning up the bum's blood.A different angle of Jordan Ladd's character Karen swimming away after the "kiss" scene on the dock with Rider Strong.The scene of Rider Strong going behind the building to wash his hands after Dennis's bite and he pets the stray dogs is removed from the "uncut" version.Then they stop when Burt says he left something back at the store and they have a longer conversation about the map. The scene where they are in the shop in the beginning is removed from the "uncut" version and is replaced with an extended scene of them driving the truck through the woods.This version was released in North America on Blu-ray on February 10, 2016. However, the uncut version did play at a few festivals before Lions Gate bought it. Lions Gate cut 2 minutes from the film for the US Theatrical Release. I would do a few things differently, but it worked on my hinges.ġ975 LaGrande Super Beetle Build Log / Farm boy hinge pin puller / Farm Boy Chassis Rotisserie ![]() Here is how we made our " Farm boy hinge pin puller": The door was removed from the car, and just had it propped up against the wall sideways. It was soaking in PB Blaster for 3 days before hand. I have to mention that it took 2 or 3 tries until the pin broke free, to the point to where the tip of the chisel was mushrooming out, and then pop! I will try to post a pic soon, but in the mean time just go to Harbor Freight website, search for the medium air chisel, and the 7" chisel set. The door BTW was off the car so I could get at it as straight as possible.ħ47 can you take a pic of the tools you bought at Harbor Freight? And, I assume you had the door out and upside down, resting on a vise? I beat on this pin with all I had, and within 5 minutes of being home from the store I was putting my new hinge pin in. Long story short, went to harbor freight, bought an air chisel for $10 and the $7 chisel set with the long narrow pointed chisel and came home and on the second try it almost flew out with no damage to the door. So I was thinking of doing the rental tool from the one listed on this site. Not rotary impact, rather an air hammer, also called "air chizel" or "chatter gun" or "rivet buster"īeat on my drivers top door pin on my Oval for 2 days all while soaking with PB, with not a budge. I assume you put something on your air impact wrench-but what?Ī pin drift bit the same diameter as the door hinge pin chucked in an air hammer.Abadvw knows his tools.maybe not English,but he knows his tools What do you mean by "air impact" and "wright size"? Right size. On vw door pins i used a air impact with wright size from bottom of hinge door pin came wright out nice with no chipping of paint Posted: Sun 12:49 pm Post subject: abadvw I have the tool you need, if you are close I can drop it off. Goober, I don't know which way you are trying, but they only press-out from the bottom up through the top. But this might be more trouble and work than doing it right. I was toying with the idea of cutting through to the pins using a small cut-off wheel between the hinge-halfs then shimming the gap with washer(s). I hate to leaves the hinges the way they are. Thanks everyone for the responses and advice. I suppose you could drill them out, but I'd rather go with the tool. Where there is no vision, the people perish. It is not cheap to buy but it works very well. Check Samba classifieds for rental possibilities. This is the tool you need for hinge pin removal. Some have reported good luck using an air chisel with a punch tool, or with a hammer drill set to hammer only.ĭo a search for hinge pin here on theSamba. It's been a while so I can't say if that is still the case. Used to be someone in theSamba classifieds that would rent the tool. Do you have any ideas that don't require removing the doors or cooking the hinges? If you've ever drilled frozen pins out, how exactly did you do it? Drilling them out by hand will be messy and not very easy, if I can do it at all. ![]() I've soak them with every oil imaginable but the 'flared' worn metal caused by the mating hinge keeps the pins from moving (at least that's what I think is happening). The outer hinge was being crushed but the pins didn't budge. Last fall I made a 'C'-clamp-style press out of 3/4" steel plate. (quick fix/good idea at the time, not so good now) I can not remove the doors because many years ago I welded the door-jam/floor with bracing permanently to the lower hinge. I once 'cooked' a set of pins out with an acetylene torch on doors that were off the car (doors needing repainting). I've never removed hinge pins with a door on the car. Posted: Sat 8:28 am Post subject: Door hinge pin removalĪs a spring project, I would like to replace my doors hinge pins. ![]() Quick sort: Show newest posts on top | Show oldest posts on top Having decided to keep the gold for themselves, men, without knowing it, make a fatal mistake. One day, after a storm, the lighthouse keepers find a wooden chest on the shore, inside of which there are several gold bars. No one knows what really happened that time on the lighthouse, but, as is usually the case, theories, guesses, and conspiracies are coming on YouTube, and now this mystery has reached the feature movie. When the chief caretaker Joseph Moore arrived on December 26, he found that all the doors were securely locked, the beds were not touched, the clock's arrows stopped, the kitchen table was completely turned over, and his subordinates disappeared without a trace. Nothing pointed to the location of the disappeared caretakers. The last entry in the journal of observations dated December 15. Some strangeness occurred in December 1900 on the Scottish islands of Flannan, where the lighthouse was opened a year earlier. For its work, there should be constantly three caretakers, and just at that time, service was carried by James Ducat ( Gerard Butler), Thomas Marshall ( Peter Mullan), and Donald MacArthur ( Connor Swindells). Let's watch!ĭebut film THE VANISHING - Photo credit: twitter The True Story and Plot Nevertheless, surprises are definitely present here: the work that is not particularly friendly to viewing is not deprived of gloomy charm, intensity, and open interpretation. For the famous Danish filmmaker Christopher Nyholm, this project is the so-called directorial debut in the big cinema. THE VANISHING is an interesting, dark, mysterious, and scary story.A slow psychological thriller with elements of drama will appeal, of course, not to everyone, but some will get impressed by their realism and the acting's quality. The Vanishing manages to shock even as it fails to truly surprise, a movie that takes a worn situation and wrings fresh pain out of it as it reaches - over-reaches - to solve a mystery that is probably even more mysterious than whatever the screenwriter’s cooked up. ![]() The very skillful serial director Kristoffer Nyholm made an interpretation of British story, so if you are familiar with the atmosphere of Tabooor Danish The Killing, you will quickly understand what to expect from the aesthetics of his full-length debut film. ![]() Danish director Kristoffer Nyholm proposed an artistic interpretation of his version, and, it should be noted, the film is not bad. ![]() There were so many versions on the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers on the island of Eileen Mor, ranging from the elements of nature and ending with the activity of the dead elves.

Ned Raggett of AllMusic said that "Staley's.half-strangled but still amazingly evocative performance.is heartfelt and almost yearning" and that "the end result feels like a ruined man looking for some sort of comfort." Stereogum said of the song "Down in a Hole" is an anthem of loss, revulsion, and depression. "Down in a Hole" reached the top 40 in the UK and the top 30 in Ireland.

In the liner notes of 1999's Music Bank box set collection, Cantrell said of the song: Jerry Cantrell wrote the song for his then-girlfriend, Courtney Clarke. The composition is written in A ♭ minor, utilizing Dorian mode, and is centered mainly around Ab minor - Gb major - Db major chord progression, with Layne Staley's and Jerry Cantrell's vocal parts intricately harmonizing. Songwriter and guitarist Jerry Cantrell was at first hesitant to present the song to the band, feeling that the song was too soft, but after a positive response from the band, they followed through and recorded it. An acoustic version performed on Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged in 1996 was released in a live album and DVD. The song was included on the compilation albums Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (1999) and Music Bank (1999). The single spent 21 weeks on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and peaked at No. The song was written by guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cantrell for his then-girlfriend, Courtney Clarke.
