I have been putting together a document for work that provides some basic advice for people who work with content management systems. It covers things like accessibility and writing for the web.
Although content management systems enable anybody to publish content to the web, they do not guarantee the quality of what is published. Many content managed websites are hard to use, inaccessible and poorly structured not because of any failure in the design or technology but simply because the quality of content is poor.
This document aims to introduce the reader to good practice for generating web content. In particular it focuses on advice about writing for the web and ensuring that what is produced is accessible to the widest audience possible.
Writing for the web
Writing great web content is a particular skill. Although it shares some characteristics with writing for other medium, there are many unique elements too.
Two traits make writing for the web, particularly challenging. Firstly is the perception that most people have that computers are being cold and impersonal. Many see technology as the enemy and so a good copywriter has to work hard to ensure their copy has a friendly and approachable tone.
Second is the fact that users rarely read pages in their entirety, but rather scan read. The emphasis is on looking for the next link that will take them one step closer to their goal.
Below we investigate these two challenges in more depth and suggest some possible solutions.
Writing style
Well-written copy should be both engaging and accessible. In other words it should overcome people's inherent suspicion of technology and ensure that, as wide an audience as possible understand what is written.
Engaging with the user
Computers are immensely unfriendly. This is mainly due to their total inability to interpret or communicate the more subtle forms of human communication such as body language and tone of voice.
The result is that most people find interacting with a computer a cold and frustrating experience. However, there are techniques you can use to avoid the problem. These include:
Using a personal tone
By ensuring that your copy is friendly, informal and approachable, you help to counteract the inherent lack of personality associated with computers and the web. Even on a relatively formal site add more informality than you normally would in order to offset the users default perception.
Writing how you speak
If you are experienced in writing more formal offline documentation, writing in a more informal manner can be difficult. Although there is no one catchall solution to this, writing as you speak will certainly aid comprehension and generate a more informal feel.
Avoid being patronizing
The danger of writing in a more informal tone is that you overcompensate and your writing style becomes 'chummy' and patronizing. The writing as you speak rule comes in useful here. Picture your audience and ask yourself whether you would speak to them like that in a face-to-face meeting.
Making your copy clear
The W3C accessibility guidelines clearly state:
Use the clearest and simplest language appropriate for a site's content.
In other words ensure that your reader can understand what you have written.
Many people make huge assumptions about what their audience understands and careful consideration needs to be put into this subject. Particular assumptions are made in regards to:
A common pitfall is the use of abbreviations and acronyms within web copy. The assumption is that your target audience will already be aware of the jargon used. However, this is an entirely false assumption.
You cannot always assume that your audience will be aware of every acronym around. For example there are so many acronyms within web design that it would be impossible for one individual to know them all.
Secondly, the reader maybe relative new to your target audience and so still learning much of the 'lingo'.
When writing copy ensure that whenever possible jargon is avoided and where that is not possible that it is accompanied by an explanation. We discuss acronyms and abbreviations further in the accessibility section.
Reading level
There are reasons why tabloid newspapers like the Sun sell so well. One of those reasons is because they require such a low reading level. As many as 40% of the population have a low literacy level and yet little consideration is given to their accessibility needs.
Even when writing for a well-educated audience you cannot make assumptions about their reading level. Many people suffer from attention deficit disorder, dyslexia or other conditions that could affect their ability to process what you have written.
Below is some advice on how you might go about improving comprehension of your copy:
- Simplify punctuation – People suffering from a low literacy levels struggle with long sentences that include a lot of complex punctuation. Keep your sentences short and your punctuation simple.
- Be consistent – There is often a desire when writing copy to vary your language to prevent a document appearing repetitive. Although this has its place it does make copy harder to comprehend. Where possible, use terms in a consistent manner across the whole site.
- Use numbers not words – By simply referring to 1223 instead of 'one thousand two hundred and twenty three' you increase comprehension dramatically as well as shorten sentences and aid scanability.
- Specify clear actions – If you wish a user to complete an action (for example to click on a button) clearly specify this. Do not assume the user will instinctively understand what is required of them.
- Use imagery – The saying 'an image speaks a thousand words' is very true for low literacy users. If an image will help to convey the meaning of a page be sure to use it to support existing copy.
Although the techniques above are of particular benefit to low literacy users, they do actually offer benefits to all users. Ease to comprehend copy aids the speed at which information can be digested and helps users scan copy as we are going to look at next.
Making web pages easy to scan
It can be a depressing realization that users will probably not read your carefully crafted text. However, the sooner you accept this reality the sooner you can start to adapt copy to aid users in their hunt for information.
There are a number of techniques that can be used to help a user quickly scan through a page and identify the information they require:
Front loading
Front loading applies in two different contexts. Firstly, front-load the page by including a summary of the entire page right at the beginning of the document. This helps the user ascertain quickly whether the page is relevant to them or not. Secondly, front-load each individual paragraph so that the main point is first. Ideally a paragraph should only make a single point (see 2.2.2) but if it is longer then the user can get the gist by reading the first sentence.
Keep it short
Usability expert, Steve Krug recommends in his book "Don't Make Me Think!: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability" that a copywriter should take his copy, edit it down to half its original length and then half it again. This sounds like an impossible task but it is often easier than it appears. By removing repetition, marketing speak, and 'happy talk' (content with no real substance like 'welcome to this site') you will quickly find your content substantially reduced.
Keep paragraphs short
As well as keeping the page as a whole sort, you should ensure individual paragraphs are short too. Each paragraph should make a single point as this aids both user scanning and comprehension.
Keep sentences short
At a micro level you should also endeavor to keep each individual sentence as short as possible. Again this aids scanability and comprehension but also helps to remove any unnecessary 'waffle'.
Break your copy up
As well as breaking up copy into short sentences and paragraphs you can also aid scanability by using other techniques as well. Look at each paragraph and ask yourself the following:
- Can I associate a heading or sub heading with this block of text?
- Could this paragraph be reduced to an easy to scan bullet point list?
- Is there a key message in this paragraph that users need to instantly see?
If the answer to the last question is yes, then you might wish to use a breakout box (also known as a pull out). This is a technique originally introduced in magazines to 'hook the user'. They would take a key line from an article and highlight it in someway (usually in a separate box) to draw the reader into reading the rest of the article. The same technique can be used on a web page to draw a users attention to a key point that they maybe searching for.
Many good content management systems (including Headscape's own CMS) provide this functionality.
We have already touched on the importance of accessibility when talking about writing clear copy, however accessibility extends beyond simply the copy you write.
As a content management system user, you are required to go beyond just writing the copy. You are also required to enter the copy into the system so that it can be displayed on the site. This requires you to 'markup' your copy correctly.
The importance of markup
So what exactly is markup? Markup is the method by which you tell the browser what the content you are entering is, so that the browser knows how to display it to the user. This markup is usually written as HTML.
So, if for example you want to tell the browser that something is a heading you would mark it up like this:
This is a heading
or a paragraph would be marked up like this:
This is a paragraph of text
This is a paragraph of text
Of course, one of the main attractions of most content management systems is that you don't have to know how to write HTML. Instead the content management system will add the code for you.
Historically content management systems didn't even try to understand what any individual piece of content was. Instead they let you as the content management user, style the content to look however you wanted. So instead of telling the system that this is a heading you simply made it look big and bold so users of the site would know.
Although this sounds like a good approach in principle, it actually opens up a whole load of problems that are too extensive to cover here.
More modern content management systems, such as the ones deployed by Headscape, ask the user to explain what each piece of content is so that the system can add the proper HTML code.
The way the content management user does this is normally through a drop down menu of styles much like you find in Microsoft word. You simply select a block of text and choose the style which best describes that text.
Marking up content in this way brings a whole host of advantages including (but not limited to):
- The ability to redesign how an individual style looks universally across the entire site without editing each page.
- The ability to change the appearance of styles based on what device is accessing the content (for example a mobile device style).
- The ability for screen readers and other assistive technologies to understand the site.
In short, a well marked up piece of content will be available to a much larger audience and is easier to change and adapt.
Text alternatives
Well marked up content is not the only way to improve the accessibility of your site. Another is to provide text alternatives for elements that some users will not be able to access.
The most common example of this is with the inclusion of images into your pages.
There are a number of reasons why a user may not be able to see the images on a page. These could range from viewing the page via a mobile device to the user suffering from some form of visual impairment. However, whatever the reason the solution is the same; add alternative text that describes the image.
Alternative text is only visible to users who cannot see the image and so does not impact the design in anyway. The method of adding alternative text will vary between content management systems but in most cases (including on the Headscape system) you will be asked to add some text when you try and insert an image. A good system will go as far as requiring alternative text before approving an image for insertion.
A common mistake that is made with alternative text is to use it as a caption for the image rather than a description of the image. The difference is subtle but important. An image of Marcus Lillington our sales director might read 'Marcus Lillington is more than happy to speak to you about your requirements'. This would be a caption rather than alternative text. Alternative text should describe the image and nothing more. So in the case of our example it should read simply; 'Photograph of Marcus Lillington – sales director'.
Finally it is worth saying that the principle of alternative text does not apply just to images. It should apply to any screen element that can only be understood visually. That includes Flash, video, audio or other plugin.
Meaningful links
Another common accessibility mistake is with link text. When a content management user creates a link between pages it is not uncommon to see links with phrases like 'click here' or 'read more'. This presents a problem for two reasons:
Firstly, users who access the web using screen readers often have all links on a page read back as a list in order to save listening to every piece of text when all they want to do is find the next link. A link like 'click here' means nothing when read out of context.
Secondly, many users will scan a page looking specifically at the links. They don't read the text before or after the link so again they see it out of context. The result is that, like screen reader users, terms like 'read more' mean nothing.
This problem is easily avoided by ensuring that all links make sense out of context. So instead of linking the words 'click here' in the sentence 'click here for more news' you simply link to the phase 'more news' or 'news archive'.
Acronyms and abbreviations
Earlier we talked about how where possible jargon, acronyms and abbreviations should be avoided. However there are occasions where that is not possible.
In such situations your choices are very much dictated by the functionality provided by the CMS you are using. Unfortunately, many content management systems are not particularly helpful in this regard and you maybe limited to typing out a description in brackets each time.
However, more modern content management systems such as that provided by Headscape, allow you to select an abbreviation style. You can then enter the full description and this becomes available to the user without destroying the flow of your text.
This is achieved in a variety of ways but the most common is using a dotted underline. If a piece of text has been marked up as an acronym or abbreviation it will appear to the end user as text with a dotted underline. When the user moves her cursor over the text the cursor changes to a help symbol and displays the full description as a tooltip.
This provides a full description to users encountering a piece of jargon for the first time, without getting in the way of those who already know what it means.
Using tables correctly
Web design has changed a lot over the last few years and so have content management systems. One of the most significant changes has been a move away from table-based layout.
Table-based layout is a technique that uses tables to position content on a page. However this is an abuse of the table feature in HTML and can cause significant accessibility problems especially for users running on older PCs or using mobile devices.
We therefore strongly recommend that using tables for layout is avoided at all costs. Instead clearly markup the content using the descriptive styles provided. The system will do the formatting and positioning.
That said there is still a place for tables. Tables were originally intended for tabular data (data made up of columns and rows, like that found in a spreadsheet). If you have information like this you wish to include on a page, then this is when you should use a table.
Working with imagery
Although we have already spoken about imagery in the context of alternative text it is worth noting that there are other accessibility issues relating to imagery you should be aware of:
Animation can be a problem area if not handled correctly, so generally speaking it is better to avoid the use of animated imagery unless it helps explain the content in someway.
The main reason that animation can be problematic is because certain forms of cognitive disability can be made worse by flashing animation. It can prove distracting and make it harder to process the content being read.
If animation is to be used we recommend:
- That the user is given the ability to disable the animation
- That the animation is not too rapid so that it proves less distracting
Finally, it is worth noting that a considerable proportion of your users will suffer from some form of colour blindness. For example almost 1 in 10 men are colour blind. In addition it is possible that other users will be accessing your site through black and white monitors on mobile devices. It is therefore important to ensure that any imagery you use is not reliant on colour to communicate information and that there is sufficient contrast between foreground and background colours.
These two issues are addressed in the W3C guidelines on accessibility:
2.1 Ensure that all information conveyed with color is also available without color, for example from context or markup.
2.2 Ensure that foreground and background color combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having color deficits or when viewed on a black and white screen.
Further information
Hopefully this document has been useful in outlining some of the basics of writing content for a website. However, we have obviously only been able to scratch the surface.
If you would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact Paul Boag (the author of this document) using email@example.com.

In this build I have decided to use RPM A-Arms. I have read some good reports about them, so, I am going to give them a go and give my feed back of what I think.
I will not be using the true-track as I still want the option of adjusting toe angle on the rear. Here is a pic below of the RPM A-Arms.
I only had a stock left A-Arm on hand for comparison.
Here is the top of the Stock and RPM A-Arm. As you can see the RPM looks a little beefier than stock.
Here is the bottom of the Stock and RPM A-Arm. Again as you can see the RPM looks a little beefier than stock.
My verdict so far...all in all the RPM is a nice looking A-Arm with a sleek design and a lot beefier than stock. I look forward to testing them out and putting these A-Arms through their paces
Rock n Rolla !
I have read a lot on these forums about various drive axles, from the traxxas steel cvd to the MIPs. I can't comment on any of the above axles as I have had great success with the Summit drive shafts.
Here is my verdict on them...I have always run 6s in my eRevo with Summit drive shafts. They are absolutely brilliant and have held up great to the abuse I put my truck under, sure they break...but they are a quick easy fix and can be done on the fly while out bashing.
Since i have replaced a good few things on my build, I decided to put new drive shafts all round and keep the old for spare. One was broken and the other three weren't in bad condition.
As you can see here there is not to much wear on the end of the shaft. This was the worst of them.
One thing I can't stress enough is get a decent set of hex screw drivers as when working with 3mm grub screws it is so easy to strip the hex head and make a good build a disaster to sort out. The Summit shafts take 3mm grub screws.
I stripped the shafts so I could clean the stub axle #5654 and diff output CV drive #5653 and replace with new long shafts #5656. I cleaned with RP7 to remove any rust and grit...also to give a light coat of lube to protect from rusting.
The stub axle and diff output CV drive were still in good nick and probably still get a good lot of solid runs from them.
I will show you a simple way to remove the stub axle from the carrier without pounding away with a wrench or hammer and damaging the bearings in the process. The same goes for sliding the bearing over the stub axle...Because of the spline pin and the force on the axle it often causes a lip that you can't see with the eye and stops the bearing from sliding over the hole.
I know the pic is of me pushing the stub axle on the axle carrier the wrong way but I am sure you get the idea of what I am trying to explain. In the pic this is often where the bearing gets stuck, on either side of the spline hole.
The simple solution is when this happens is to get some sand paper that is not to coarse (very fine) and cut a strip. Wrap it around the stub axle and role between your fingers like so.
The bearing should slide off in no time and you save yourself the hassle and frustration of the axle being stuck and trying to force off
I always have on hand 3 different types of sand paper, all very fine coarse...it always comes in handy.
Rock n Rolla !
I personally think that these are one of the best hex adapters on the market. From my experience with them been used on my eRevo, they have totally eliminated my wheel slop and I would recommend these to anyone who was interested in them. They are fairly pricey adapter but well worth the dollars.
Below are the HPP hex adapters ready to be installed, again I am not going to go into to much details of the installation of the adapters.
To install I put a drop of blue thread lock on the end of the thread of the stub axle
I then put a bead of grease on the locking nut that holds the hex adapter in place. This is to allow for an easy fit to the hex adapter and axle shaft
This is it all fitted together and fully tightened
Rock n Rolla !
The build is going slowly...I am taking my time and enjoying every bit of it
Rock n Rolla !
I've ended up replacing my bearings all round, so last night I replaced the bearings in my transmission.
I thought I would post this here for those who haven't seen the inside of a transmission before, or who would like to know what the inside of one looks like.
Here is my transmission stripped down and cleaned. The bearings have been replaced and my transmission is ready to be rebuilt.
I've read the debate on these forums about greasing, diff lubing and leaving the transmission clean. I like to grease my moving parts, especially when there is metal on metal contact.
As you can see in the photo below I applied a generous amount of grease to all the moving parts, even the nylon gear. I have been using this method ever since I have gotten into the RC hobby game and have never had an issue from greasing my transmission.
Again I have used Mobil1 red grease.
I then closed up the transmission and is now ready to be installed .
I like to service my transmission every 6 months and inspect every couple months to see that the bearings are still running smoothly.

Rock n Rolla !
Awesome thread, very informative, and well documented, greats details, and info here for newbies to the erevo like me.
Wow now thats a major rebuild job,nice work so far.I will be following this thread for sure.I use the same grease on my Massey Ferguson tractor,it's realy good stuff.
ERBE , 1/10 Summit.
I am big fan of the traxxas centre CVD #5650R. I found running 6s with the stock didn't cut it for me. After a couple months I noticed the stock had stretched out of shape and had a lot of play in it.
Since I have been using these I am very happy with the performance of my truck. This installation is a follow on from 'POST #26, 27 & 28'.
As stated before I placed 1 X 0.2 shim on the pinion and then attached the CVD. This was to eliminate any play that was in the diff. Placing one on the inside made the gears bind slightly which I did not like.
Because I had modded the CVD I installed each end to the diff first before installing the transmission.
I then installed the transmission, starting with the longest CVD attaching to it to the transmission first. Once in place I then attached the shorter CVD and then fastened the transmission in place.
I was happy with the end result and was a nice easy installation .
Rock n Rolla !
Great thread very detail...I appreciate the work you put in to explaining step by step.Question you shim the diff from the outside I've been going with the shim on the inside "am I doing it wrong"?
ERBE,Losi 8ight,Slash 4X4
With the LST2 diff I shimmed everywhere, different thickness shims, removing shims and adding shims. I must of tore this diff down over 10 times with the different option of shimming I tried. At the end of the day I found following the '8ight Truggy' exploded view shimming in the diff cup to be the best and smoothest.
Once the diff cup was assembled and I assembled the rest of the diff I found that no shimming was necessary. I tried shimming in various place but found whatever I did it made the mesh between the ring and pinion either to loose or too tight.
I then proceeded to attach the yoke to the pinion gear and on rotating it the yolk the mesh between the gears was perfect. I noticed there was a slight bit of play on the pinion...probably not enough to be concerned about, but I thought to myself, I have gone to all the effort I want to eliminate this small bit of play.
I found once I put the shim in there that the play had been eliminated and the mesh between the gears was even smoother.
The internals of the LST2 diff are very solid and nicely constructed. Now that my diff is packed with grease and lube, I am very happy with the result I get when I rotate my drive shafts.
I could never could get a mesh as smooth as it is now with my traxxas diffs...no matter how I shimmed them, I always could feel binding in certain spots
I will need to test these diffs and give my feedback but I am confident with my diff build and shimming

Rock n Rolla !
As said before I am going with a single servo conversion. I would like to thank 87GN for the help and info he has provided me on this subject.
In the photo below you can see all what I purchased for this mod.
Hitec HS-7950TH Mega Torque Digital Dual Titanium Gear Servo
Ofna #10774 Alum Servo Arm Horn 24-Tooth
STRC STP6037SAlum Single Steering Servo Saver Arm
Traxxas #5344X Servo Saver Heavy Duty Spring
The heavy duty spring is the silver and black is the stock...I will try both and see how we go.
Rock n Rolla !
After trying to put together the servo saver last night with the heavy duty spring I found that it bowed the servo saver cap outward and made it difficult to assemble. I was worried that this would rip the screws out the servo saver and strip the threads.
I am not a big fan of aluminium parts but only use them where absolutely necessary. I felt that the servo saver itself did not have to be aluminium.
I had read on threads before about a washer mod.
This is my washer mod at trying to stiffen up the stock spring. I used an M10 x 22mm OD x 1.5mm thick washer that I found lying around in the workshop at my work. I then used an 11mm drill bit to drill out the centre.
Because the outer diameter was just a bit too large and internal diameter of the washer a bit to small; I took the drill bit with the washer and ran on a belt sander for even wear. I continued this until I reached an outer diameter of 21mm and an internal diameter of 11.25mm.
Once I was happy with the fit in the servo saver cap I took off the sharp edges from drilling the internal diameter.
I then chamfered the sharp edge from the outer diameter, I also reduced the thickness from 1.5mm to 1.2mm
I then neatened the internal diameter of the washer with some fine coarse sand paper making it a nice smooth finish.
Here is a photo of a M10 washer I used and the finished product for comparison. The washer I modded is still round, I have just chamfered a bit more in some areas and the light is making it look out of round in the photo.
As you can see a nice clean perfect fit in the servo saver cap.
I am yet to try this and see if it works, in theory though, the spring should be a lot stiffer with this method.

Rock n Rolla !
Question you think the Losi 8ight buggy diffs would work ? I have a roller I'm doing nothing with.
ERBE,Losi 8ight,Slash 4X4
Never mind looking at the shape of the unit its probably not possible Back to eBay
ERBE,Losi 8ight,Slash 4X4
Losi 8ight buggy and it looks similar to the Losi 8ight truggy.
The buggy exploded view doesn't have the shimming like the truggy exploded view and they are using different diff cups. The part numbers are not the same as the LST2 diff.
I am really not familiar with Losi products so I can't comment on the diffs other than the LST2. Sorry I couldn't help
Rock n Rolla !
I fitted the ESC, hitec servo and RX to the chassis tonight. I also tried to neaten the wiring up as best I could.
I tested the servo and everything is working...the only thing that is bugging me is that the servo is humming a lot, sounds similar as if two servo are fighting each other. I am not sure what is going but I need to try and figure it out.
Here is a photo of my progress.
Rock n Rolla !
Single Servo Conversion. I am following recommendations from this thread. I am running a BEC because the servo requires a continuous 6V for optimal performance.
HPP-Germany. If it pops up in German there is a British flag on the top right hand corner, click that and it will change to English. They are pricey, but IMO well worth it.
I personally am very happy with the Summit Axles...I have broken a good few but are a quick and easy fix.
Since you already have the steel CVD's, I suggest try them and see how you go. If you don't like them you can always change them out later.
I hope I answered your questions
Rock n Rolla !
I was refering to the mods you mentioned to run a single servo, the heavier spring, the single servo arm, if those were mandatory to run a single servo. I'll read the thread you mentioned, you have been very helpfull.
HITEC HS-7950TH servo.
A few members recommended those as an upgrade because of the ammount of torque a single servo has. It has to do with the servo flexing the stock arm and the washer mod was to stiffen the spring.
Rock n Rolla !
This is my assembly of the single servo arm...its a continuation of post #56
Here I am ready to assemble the servo saver, spring, servo arm (STRC STP6037S) and my washer mod.
As you can see this is a nice tight fit...I had to apply a small amount of force to be able to screw the BHC screw in.
The washer mod was a much better fit than using the traxxas heavy duty spring. I don't know if this will make a difference but in theory has stiffened up the stock spring quiet a bit.
My build is coming together nicely now and am making some good progress.
I am looking forward to putting my beast through its paces
Rock n Rolla !
I am going to show my method of setting gear mesh here for those who don't know, or would like to know how to mesh there pinion and spur gear.
On this build I am going to start off with a 19/62 gear setting running the LST2 diff...I will see how this goes and adjust my gearing accordingly if need be.
I start off by cutting a strip of paper slightly wider than my spur gear and roughly 15cm long.
I then fold in half...I like to use this thickness to set the spacing between my gear mesh.
I then feed between my spur and pinion and push together.
With even pressure I press the pinion and spur together and rotate the spur so the paper runs between the spur and pinion.
Once I am happy that the paper is running smoothly between the gears I fasten the motor into position and rotate the spur in the opposite direction to remove the paper.
I try and align my spur so it is sitting centre of the pinion gear.
I have been using this method for a long time without any issues
Rock n Rolla !
As mentioned before I am a huge fan of the HPP products. This is the HPP motor brace, again it is a pricey product but well worth the dollars.
This together with the HPP hex adapters are 2 of the best investments IMO that I have ever made for truck. The motor brace is easy to fit and keeps the motor in place even after those gnarly cartwheels and insane lands on the roof.
Since I have been using this motor brace I have never stripped a spur gear again...
As you can see it is a very snug fit and out off the way.
Rock n Rolla !
I have run into a few issues in the past with incorrect slipper clutch setting. I've had it when it's been too loose and melted my spur gear...and also not paying attention to worn pads has has also resulted in a melted spur gear.
The way I like to set my slipper clutch now...and I use this for all surface I run on is I tighten my slipper all the way, basically where it feels tight, but not too tight. I then set the tool in the vertical position as my setting out point.
I then back off just over a 1/4 turn or where the tool touches the chassis. I use my hex screw driver to lock the transmission while tightening or loosening.
This is an ideal setting for me
Rock n Rolla !
keep up the good work...i love reading and seeing the pics that goes with it...for newbies like me...it makes the terminology stick...cos sometimes...i just have no clue as to some of the lingos that goes on...
This is a continuation of post 65. I've installed the servo horn over the weekend and attached to the servo arm. I am rather impressed with the servo just on the preliminary test that I have done.
I look forward to giving this a good run.
I set up the servo horn and steering link as per the manual.
I am using the maximum travel steering stop and using the outer hole on the servo horn.
I will do the fine tuning of my steering when my beast is up and running
Rock n Rolla !
I used the traxxas cover plate (#5326X) and modded it to fit my chassis in the empty servo spot.
I used my dremel to remove material and smooth off. I also slotted the one screw hole longer. It was a relatively easy job and went smoothly.
It was a nice fit...as if a servo was fitted in the spot.
And here it is fastened into position. The cover plate cost me $3, I was going to make one but then came across this.
Its all coming together now...

Rock n Rolla !
I am using the Traxxas sway bar kit #5498 front and rear. I can't comment on the Tekno sway bar kit as I have never used one.
In my experience...it is unbelievable the difference this has made to the performance and handling of my truck. I've been using this sway bar kit for about 7 months now and am very happy with it.
This is what the sway bar kit looks like for those who don't know.
I replaced the front stock linkage with these beefier 49mm aluminium turnbuckles #3738.
In comparison there is a significant difference.
The only problem I have found using the Traxxas rear sway bar kit is that the linkages attach to the underside of the rear rocker. A slight mod is needed to fit them, nothing to difficult thou
I dremeled a slight groove into the rear of my chassis as I have found in the past that the ball end of the linkage rubs on the chassis. This was to allow the linkage to move easier but is not necessary to do.
It will create a slight impression on its own anyway from rubbing the chassis.
When you get the sway bar kit you will receive a jig and from memory I think a drill bit, I can't remember thou. As you can see I drilled a hole in the bottom rocker. The jig is pretty self explanatory to use.
I set my linkage attachment to the sway bar 5mm from the top all round. I am also using the black sway bar all round as this is thicker than the silver. The rear sway bar must be used in conjunction with a wing mount.
Here is a photo of the front sway bar installed.
And here is a photo of the rear sway bar installed.
I would certainly recommend the sway bar kit to anyone who is wanting to improve performance and handling of their truck .
Rock n Rolla !
Hey, quick question. Did you put the spacer UNDER your rocker posts? That is what I did, as per instructions, and mine don't rub the chassis in any part of the swing motion..
On the other side of things, heck yes they make a massive difference. Whole new level of control on hard/high traction surfaces!

You've just reminded me off that day and the abusive language that came out my mouth . I am chuckling about it at my desk right now and recall how my mate and myself searched for those spacers to no avail.
When I rebuilt my truck now I couldn't figure out why they were rubbing on the chassis when they never use to. As you can see I dremeled it out a lot more than what it actually rubs. That was because I dyed my chassis and didn't want the dye to rub off there.
It just goes to show you don't remember absolutely everything .
The rear sway bars have been working just fine without the spacers thou......I might go find some material in the workshop and make some spacers to see if there is a significant difference between using with or without spacers.
To keep my thread up to date, here is the sway bar kit installation instructions and the SPACERS I left out. Thank you DEISEL .

Rock n Rolla !
Haha, brilliant! I do remember doing the same thing with grub screws - I would usually have a few, but I didn't have any lock tight and the pinion on the Rustler kept rattling the screw out, haha!
This is a continuation from post #75
I couldn't believe my luck yesterday at work...I was scrounging through a solenoid valves box and I happened to find these.
They are almost an exact size for size of the spacers I lost. These have a 1/2mm wider internal diameter and are 1.8mm thick...I was so excited to get home and try them, the end result, I am very stocked...
I have installed them and tested the sway bar kit with my hand and feels very solid...I am looking so forward to giving my eRevo a good burn and test these LST2 diffs out now .
Rock n Rolla !
I haven't felt the need to do the rear chassis brace...I personally don't like the way it clutters up everything, especially around the rear shocks.
What I did...and what has been holding up and working very well is a mod I made for the rear body mount.
I replaced the 4 x 14 BHC screw with a 3/16 x 1" UNC screw. I grinded the OD of the head down to 9mm diameter so it would fit snug in the rear body mount and cut the thread length down to 9mm.
I then put the rear mount into place and put some pressure with a screwdriver on the 3/16 screw until it bit the rear mount and threaded itself into place .
Once installed it very strong mod and holdups extremely well to severe bashing.
I have been using this mod for the past 7 months and has never once failed on me...here is a short video I made of me bashing in skate park using this mod and is holding holding up very well to my abuse.
This video was made shortly before I built my truck
As you can see have a carefree attitude ad am like balls to the wall with my truck and believe you must go big or go home

Why so much fine tuning if you bash your truck like that ?
This thread is how I like them : nice pics, details, explanations, reviews, part ref, vids...
Great job

A run for the rosebushes in Greeley, Colorado
Why is Kathy Egan of Greeley winning the book "Right Rose, Right Place?"
Because she really needs it. A few years ago, she bought a house with 27 — count 'em, 27 rosebushes. Here's a photo of just a few:
But Kathy isn't sure what varieties she's got. "Most of the roses are, we believe, heirloom variety, she writes. "Why? The thorns are unbelievably wicked — some individual thorns are the size of my thumbnail. The scents are intoxicating — they wash over you as you step out of the front door. I had no idea that roses could smell like cloves and apples and lemons. Colors range from pale white to deep red."
It's led to a bit of a madness for her. "I was up to 49 (roses) summer of 2008 but lost around 10 to winter kill in 2008-09. My goal is 50 bushes to justify the name Rose Manor."
Kathy's home is a beautiful mock Tudor that the former owner customized in many ways for his beloved, British wife. She's retained and appreciates many of its features, like the garden, which she has expanded and improved. "The roses have become somewhat of an obsession," she writes.
And she's got a question for any of you rose experts out there: "On the most vigorous of bushes, last fall the main stems turned deep purple and have stayed that way — strangely wonderful."
No winners yet for "The Too Many Tomatoes cookbook" — so keep those photos coming!

Genuine Xerox Toner – made for your Xerox printer or multifunction printer
|Xerox Supplies Deliver Quality, Reliability and Performance
Using Xerox Genuine toner and ink in your Xerox printer will ensure that prints are delivered with consistent quality. Testing conducted by independent printer evaluation laboratories proved Xerox Genuine Supplies are more reliable and deliver up to 27% higher page yields than aftermarket alternatives. Stay Risk-Free with Xerox Genuine SuppliesGenuine Xerox Solid Ink Quality and ReliabilityControl Total Cost of Ownership
Purchasing inexpensive aftermarket toner and ink for negligible short-term savings can ultimately be more expensive, due to frequent replacement of defective and leaky toner cartridges and lost productivity as a result of device downtime from failures of fusers and imaging units. In comparative cartridge tests on several different printer cartridges, the Buyers Lab Institute (BLI) found that Xerox cartridges delivered superior overall page yields, image quality and reliability performance compared to the remanufactured brand. Read the full reports: Buyer's Laboratory (BLI)

Xerox toner cartridges are intelligent and interface with your printer or MFP to provide important status information, keeping your work processes more productive.
Status features include:
Manufactured to the highest standards
Xerox toner cartridges consistently deliver sharp and optimal print quality and reliability. Developed together with Xerox equipment, Xerox toner cartridges:
Xerox is a pioneer in the development of advanced toner technologies and EA toner is a significant breakthrough. Unlike traditional toner, which is comprised of crushed and ground particles of irregular shape, EA toner is grown chemically into minute, uniform spheres of colour, utilising 25% less energy to manufacture. The uniform shape and size of EA toner particles, with their property to "aggregate" result in 45% less toner consumption when compared to conventional toners.
Key Benefits of Xerox EA Toner:
During product development, the toner composition is defined in order to maximize the entire printing process including the imaging drum and fuser components. Internal colour tables, halftone algorithms, and even the voltage charge applied to the drum are all optimized with the toner to render the highest possible quality output – the best resolution and vibrant colours for your printing applications. Genuine Xerox Supplies always deliver the optimum device performance and reliability.
Why is genuine Xerox toner so much better?
Xerox has been recycling waste toner material for many years in two ways:

Eight candidates are running for Estes Park Town Trustee on the April 1 ballot. You can meet them, and thank them for running, on Monday, March 31st at 6:30 pm. The wine and cheese gathering will be held at Cheesy Lee's and hosted by the Estes Park Tea Party Patriots the night before the April 1 election. A $5 donation is requested. Everyone is welcome at the event. Candidates will make a short statement about themselves and why they want to represent you and then mingle with the guests.
If you can't make it to Cheesy Lee's on Monday night, a little about the eight candidates running for Town Trustee can be found on http://www.examiner.com/republican-in-fort-collins/michelle-hurni.
The Trail Gazette has endorsed three candidates (Holcomb, Nelson and Fishman), but do your own homework, as endorsements by one entity are not always the best source of information. As a taxpayer, you are financing these positions, with a small salary and the option of health care.
Mark your calendar and attend the Monday night event to thank these candidates for stepping up to represent you in the Town of Estes Park. Cheesy Lee's (hosted by the Estes Park Tea Party Patriots), 6:30 pm, Monday, March 31.

"Secluded in the Poconos." This slogan of Skytop applies not only to the resort itself, tucked away in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania, but to the principals of our Firm—more than 300 of them—who stayed there for five days in mid-June. What brought them to the 5,500-acre paradise that attracts those who crave rest and recreation in mild sunlit air? In a word, work. (Although they did have just enough opportunity for play to keep proverbial dullness away.) But this assignment was the kind most professionals relish—a chance to discuss important events and trends of the practice, and to reflect on their own and the Firm's present situation and future prospects, far from the ring of the telephone and the pressure of deadlines. Because of the substantial increases in the number of our principals in recent years, it has become necessary to hold two sessions on consecutive weeks. The participants this year arrived on the Sundays of June 12 and 19 at the five-story 250-room Skytop Lodge, whose rooftop observation platform commands a view of evergreen-forested ridges and valleys over some 2,700 square miles. Each Sunday evening a reception was held, followed by dinner and the first of several nocturnal get-togethers for assorted games involving rectangular markers (including canasta and dominoes) which have already given rise to legends that will endure at least until next year's meeting. On Monday morning, Mr. Queenan launched the program. "The swiftly expanding needs of our Firm make this meeting more important than ever before," he said. "Tremendous expense and preparation are involved in bringing you here." The payoff on this investment, he added, must come from the principals themselves. "Among you are our future partners." There followed a morning-long demonstration of some of the preparation Mr. Queenan had referred to. Recent developments in the Firm's auditing procedures . . . the new HirS computer audit program . . . proposed revisions in our internal control questionnaire and audit programs . . . and some concepts of statistical sampling—these topics and others (three or four a day) throughout the session were presented by experts and were supported by slides and detailed documentation. The three major areas of the practice— auditing, tax, and management advisory services—were covered in depth, so that listeners were often trying to grasp subjects and new developments in areas outside their specialities. The program planners were aware of this. Malcolm Devore, partner responsible for coordination of U. S. practice, explained: "We want you to have an exposure to latest techniques and concepts throughout the practice and to develop at least a speaking familiarity with them, so that you will be able to detect a client's needs and, where necessary, bring to bear on those needs the skills of our specialists. For example, using statistical sampling techniques which we have developed, a client was able recently to save 11,000 man hours in taking an inventory."

Irving Fein, who managed Burns, Benny, dies at 101
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Irving Fein, a producer and manager who steered the careers of comedy greats George Burns and Jack Benny and named actress Lana Turner the "Sweater Girl," has died, his daughter said Tuesday. He was 101.
Fein, who worked into his 90s, died Aug. 10 at his West Hollywood home of an age-related illness, Tisha Fein said.
"He loved what he did. He would be afraid to go on a holiday because he would miss a deal. He always had a great angle on how to promote people," said his daughter, a TV and event producer.
Fein's early career included stints as a publicist at studios including MGM and Warner Bros., where he came up with Turner's provocative nickname, Tisha Fein said. In a decade-old interview posted on the website Showbiz 411, Fein said he inspired by a sweater Turner wore in her first movie, 1937's "They Won't Forget."
In the late 1940s, Fein became publicist and advertising director for Benny's radio show.
When the comedian shifted to TV with "The Jack Benny Program," which aired from 1952-65, Fein was the executive producer. He later headed J&M Productions, Benny's company that produced shows including "Checkmate" and "The Gisele MacKenzie Show."
Fein was an important part of Burns' life as well, Tisha Fein said.
When Burns' career faltered following the 1964 death of his wife and stage partner, Gracie Allen, Fein helped him get cast opposite Walter Matthau in 1975's "The Sunshine Boys," she said. Burns, then 76, received a supporting actor Oscar.
Fein produced some of Burns other films, including "18 Again!", and won an Emmy as producer of a 1977 TV special with Burns. The comedian died in 1996 at age 100.
Fein's survivors include his wife of 43 years, Marion; Tisha Fein and Michael Fein, his children from a previous marriage, and stepson Dan Schechter.
Services for Fein were held Sunday at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Los Angeles.

Governor Beebe and some of the legislative leaders have tentatively agreed on a plan to hold next year's increase in the cost of what public school employees pay for health insurance to about 10% increase instead of the nearly 50% as expected now. The package being circulated is a draft proposal that the Governor hopes might meet short and long term needs. The school employees' health insurance rate will be going up because of a lack of increase in funding from the state and local school districts and also because of $10 million in claims from the catastrophic claims fund that was wiped out by the five claims in 2012 and 2013. In Sept. the director of the benefits division told a legislative committee it would take $53 million in new money to keep premium rates at current levels next year. Under the new proposals circulated last week , $43 million from the state budget surplus would be used this year to limit the increase in premiums to 10% in January. In the future, the Legislature would direct $63 million to school employees health insurance plans. That would include $10 million from general revenue, $16 million from the school facilities program and $10 million from state funding for professional development. The task force has also recommended reforms to the system. One suggestion was to have greater cost sharing and incentives to put money in to health savings accounts and changing from what some call a "gold plan" above what most state employees have. A short term fix might be able to be passed in a special session and a long term plan debated in the fiscal session which starts in January. To have a plan in place when the increases would take place on Jan. 1st, there would have to be a special session called. However, before a session is call the Governor and legislative leaders want to be sure that there is an agreed upon plan so that the session will be short, maybe only 3 days.
Because of the federal shutdown some state employees whose programs are funded or are partially funded by federal dollars have been furloughed and as the shutdown continues more could be furloughed. Many programs were funded through the year and those positions or jobs will not be affected unless the shutdown continues unto the first of next year.
If you would like to contact me, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or call my office at 650-1884 or write me at P.O. Box 2387 Greenwood, AR> 72936 Hope you have a great week.

2013 Mopar Nationals Features Dyno Showdown (Video!)
The 33rd annual Mopar Nationals went off without a hitch (if you can overlook a little rain) at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio. The event took place August 9-11 and included plenty of racing, showing, and a swap meet - as well as an insane, horsepower-packed Amsoil Mopar Muscle dyno competition.
Twenty-six cars participated in the second annual showdown, which was divided into four classes: Naturally Aspirated, Power Adder, Diesel Trucks, and Outlaw. Competition was fierce as all kinds of beastly Mopars performed through the rain to put down some pretty impressive numbers.
Look for the January 2014 issue of Mopar Muscle on newsstands soon and of course, stay tuned for details on all of the impressive competitors right here on moparmusclemagazine.com.
View our teaser video here!
1970 Plymouth GTX - David Raver (Waterford, Pennsylvania)
David Raver found the beautiful GTX you see here in 1992 in North Carolina, in need of some serious TLC. Over the next two years, the car saw a complete restoration and a little bit of modification. The car was painted by Steve Sissom in Erie, Pennsylvania, and David restored the interior himself. A 440 cubic-inch powerplant with 3.75-inch stroke lies under the hood with Edelbrock aluminum heads and intake and a Speed Demon carburetor, all paired with a manual transmission and Hurst shifter.
Horsepower: 325.55
Torque: 367.78
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Lance Baldwin (Brodhead, Kentucky)
Lance Baldwin and his father, Johnny, built this Challenger in their garage - everything from the engine to the PPG Lamborghini Orange paint. The car has been in the family for over 35 years and became a father-son project a few years ago. After being home to a 383, and then a 440, the car now houses a 505 cubic-inch engine bored to 4.38-inches and stroked to 4.25-inches, complete with Comp Cams hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum heads (ported and polished by Lance) and an Edelbrock Performer intake, among other goodies. A mighty Demon 800cfm carburetor sits atop the powerplant, and TTI headers flow to Dynomax bullet mufflers making the beast roar. Performance Transmission in London, Kentucky built the automatic transmission with slap stick shifter and a TCI 3,500-stall torque converter. Fifteen-inch Weld Draglites wrapped in Mickey Thompsons keep the Challenger planted firmly on the ground.
Best quarter-mile time: 12.08 seconds
Horsepower: 398.31
Torque: 400.23
1973 Dodge Charger Rallye - Thomas Pedergnana (Evergreen Park, Illinois)
The first thing that might catch your eye about this '73 Charger Rallye is the gold metallic paint job done by its owner, Tom. There's much more to it than that, however. Under the hood sits a 1973 360 bored .030 over with a 4.00-inch stroke - a 408. It features Mahle forged pistons, and a Comp Cams XR286HR-10 cam, along with Edelbrock RPM aluminum heads. A Moroso oiling system and MSD ignition components, along with Hooker headers round out the list of modifications. The engine was built by Midwest Engine Tech in Moleity, Illinois and is paired with a manual 833 transmission. The interior has remained all original on the relatively low-mile (52,493) car, which Tom and his wife bought in November 2009.
Best quarter-mile time: 14.12 @ 104 mph (street tires)
Horsepower: 349.46
Torque: 369.31
2010 Dodge Challenger - John Bretz (Erie, Pennsylvania)
John Bretz bought this red Challenger when it was brand-new in 2010. He has kept it almost completely stock - save for a Flowmaster exhaust system and 87mm throttle body - and has put about 18,000 miles on the odometer since he picked it up, but has never taken it to the track. The 6-speed 5.7L Challenger (which John says is capable of an impressive 31mpg) was a stand-in for his '71 triple-carbed Road Runner, which encountered technical issues before the dyno showdown.
Horsepower: 332.95
Torque: 361.16
1969 Plymouth Roadrunner - Rob Garrison (Columbus, Ohio)
When Rob Garrison bought this Roadrunner about 11 years ago, the rebuild began and has yet to come to an end. The Bahama Yellow beast features a factory fiberglass hood, and all the suspension remains stock. The interior is also all-original, and a 494 sits under the hood with Diamond pistons, Eagle steel crankshaft, and Comp Cams hydraulic roller cam. Ported Indy aluminum heads and an Indy dual-plane intake with Speed Demon 850 CFM carburetor complete the build, which is paired with a manual transmission. An exhaust featuring Headman headers and Warlock mufflers make the beast roar. The build was completed in Columbus, Ohio, by Rob and friends.
Horsepower: 376.26
Torque: 433.94
1967 Plymouth Satellite - Tom Jefferson (Erie, Pennsylvania)
You might remember this '67 Satellite, now owned by Tom Jefferson, from the July 2004 issue of Mopar Muscle. It is powered by a 400 cubic-inch engine bored out to 492. The car has switched hands numerous times in the past few years due to health issues and divorce, and eventually ended up with Tom. The previous owners were responsible for the build and restoration which includes Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock 6-pack intake, and a Holley carburetor, as well as an exhaust, a new coat of Midnight Black paint and a full interior.
Best quarter-mile time: 13.00 @ 121 mph
Horsepower: 376
1970 Plymouth Roadrunner - Lonnie Jefferson (Waterford, PA)
This awesome Citron Yellow Roadrunner belongs to Lonnie Jefferson and his wife, and features a 440 cubic-inch engine bored .030 over with Ross pistons, a Comp Cams roller camshaft, and Indy aluminum E2 heads. An Indy intake and 950 Demon carburetor top the engine, and a 3-inch exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers makes the Roadrunner scream. The car is also equipped with a Turbo Action torque converter with a 3,500rpm stall speed.
Right Stuff brakes slow the Weld wheels, wrapped in Mickey Thompsons, to a stop after 12-second quarter-mile runs.
Best quarter-mile time: 12 @ 117 mph
Horsepower: 429.77
Torque: 393.85
2010 Ram 1500 4x4 Sport - Charles Taylor (Van Wert, Ohio)
The only truck in the Naturally-Aspirated class, Charles Taylor's Ram 1500 is powered by a 5.7L Hemi engine that brought the heat. Most of the truck, which he bought new and fully-loaded, is original, but he has added a few upgrades, including an Arrington roller cam, Mopar cold-air intake, American Racing headers, and a Predator tune.
The truck now has about 33,000 miles on it and is Taylor's daily driver.
Horsepower: 360.10
Torque: 342.02
1972 Dodge Dart Swinger - Dean Darbee (Liberty, Kentucky)
Packed with a 367 cubic-inch power plant, Dean Darbee's 1972 Dart Swinger is quite the head turner. The engine upgrades to the Dart include an Ultradyne solid flat tappet camshaft with .559/.570 lift and 247/251 duration at 0.050, as well as fully-ported Indy Brock aluminum cylinder heads. An Edelbrock Super Victor intake and Promax 820 sit atop the engine, and Hooker headers with Dynomax mufflers control the growl.
Dean had the car restored all-around and built the engine on his own, making the Dart that much more impressive. The suspension has been overhauled and now includes 9010 shocks and Mopar Performance torsion bars in the front and 8 3/4 Super Stock springs at the rear. A Moser 3.91 gear and Moser axles reside in the rear as well, and Centerline wheels all around compliment the new B5 Blue paintjob.
Best quarter-mile time: 11.21 @ 119
Horsepower: 360.69
Torque: 295.19
2003 Dodge Viper - Trey Davis (Louisville, Kentucky)
Being the only Viper in our Naturally Aspirated class, we expected big things out of Trey Davis' 2003 Dodge Viper. With 505 cubic-inches of factory-spec power under the hood, the Viper's mighty V-10 produced some impressive numbers on the dyno, making it a strong competitor in the shootout. Trey has owned his Viper for two years after buying it from a woman off the internet. Not a bad purchase if you ask us.
Horsepower: 432.16
Torque: 465.61
1971 Dodge Dart Swinger - Chuck Lee (Shade, Ohio)
Chuck Lee owns the awesome '71 Dart Swinger you see here. With 340 cubic-inches, bored .030-inch over, under the hood and a compression ratio of 12.5:1, Lee was a strong competitor in our showdown. A NASCAR crankshaft and Comp Cams camshaft, along with "J" cast heads and an Edelbrock intake are responsible for most of the movement, topped with a Holley 750cfm carburetor - and it was all built by Chuck himself. Double valve springs and roller rockers are also on Chuck's modification list, as well as a 727 automatic transmission, 8-inch torque converter with a stall speed of 4,200, and Cheetah shifter.
Fifteen-inch Weld wheels look sweet against the Dart's blue exterior, painted by Keith Collins of Auto Image in Coolville, Ohio. Chuck has owned the car for about seven years, but says it only took about 2 weeks to get the car to where it is now.
Best quarter-mile time: 11.7 @ 111mph
Horsepower: 307.12
Torque: 305.09
1967 Dodge Dart - Chad Lee (Shade, Ohio)
A 340 cubic-inch monster roars beneath Chad Lee's Plum Crazy Purple '67 Dart. Cast iron cylinder heads, a Comp Cams camshaft, and Holley 750 carburetor are among the Dart's modifications, and a 904 automatic transmission puts the power to the wheels.
A fiberglass hood, trunk lid, and bumpers have been utilized to lighten the car up a bit.
Best quarter-mile time: 11.7 @ 112 mph
Horsepower: 317.96
Torque: 296.63
1965 Dodge Coronet - Jan Niceswanger (Newark, Ohio)
Jan Niceswanger's Viper Red '65 Coronet was another of the four competitors in our Outlaw class. Under the fiberglass hood lays a 572 cubic-inch powerplant complete with Comp Cams roller camshaft, Diamond pistons, an Eagle steel crankshaft, Indy 426-SR aluminum cylinder heads, and an Indy Mod Man intake. Two Carter AFB 750 carburetors top the build. The chassis has quite a few upgrades as well including Caltracs leaf springs in the rear, a Strange S60 differential, 4:10 gears, and 40-spline axles.
Horsepower: 564.82
Torque: 469.54
1966 Plymouth Belvedere - Terry Brown (Canton, Georgia)
Some of you might remember Terry from the coverage of the 2012 Amsoil Mopar Muscle Numbers Don't Lie Shootout. Basically, her '66 Belvedere is made up of a strong Mopar Performance Mega Block with 4.250-inch bores and Oliver 7.100-inch billet connecting rods, along with a 4.5-inch stroke Callies crankshaft and a set of CP pistons, resulting in a 511-inch Hemi monster. With Stage V heads, and an Indy Cylinder Head intake, as well as an 1160 Dominator, TTI headers, and a full-exhaust, the power she makes is certainly expected.
Horsepower: 641.51
Torque: 557.00
Power Adder
1971 Dodge Demon - Randy Holloway (Salem, Virginia)
Packed with a 440 cubic-inch engine, Randy Holloway's '71 Demon brought the heat to the Power Adder class of our competition. Eagle H-beam rods, Keith Black pistons with a compression ratio of 8.2:1, a Mopar hydraulic roller cam, and a Flowmaster exhaust are really the only modifications, save for the Weiand 6-71 supercharger and twin Quick Fuel Technology 750 cfm carburetors of course.
According to Randy, the body is 100-percent original steel, and the interior is still pretty close to original as well. QA1 coilovers in the front and rear, and Wilwood brakes all around make sure all that power can be used safely and comfortably.
Horsepower: 319.4
Torque: 433.19
1970 Dodge Challenger - Larry Rose (Newburgh, Indiana)
Larry Rose has owned this Sublime Green Challenger since he was a teenager and told us that he uses it for every day driving as well as the occasional Power Tour, which is pretty impressive in its own right. After being outrun by a Corvette on one such Power Tour, Larry and his son Braylon pulled the 440 Six Pack with FAST fuel injection and replaced it with something a bit more modern and powerful. Today it's packed with a 6.1L Hemi that uses a stock bottom-end and a Magnuson supercharger, all backed by a T56 Magnum trans. Completing the build are TTI headers, Magnaflow mufflers, and Reilly Motorsports suspension with QA1 shocks all around. Another super cool detail is the 2010 Challenger interior that Larry fitted in the car. All in all, it's a very impressive ride.
Horsepower: 503.28
Torque: 448.12
2010 Dodge Challenger R/T - Joe Infantino (Navarre, Florida)
When Joe Infantino returned from Afghanistan and saw this 2010 Challenger for sale with only 2,200 miles on it, he knew that he had to have it. Now, almost three years later, the car has a new Arrington 5.7L under the hood with a forged rotating assembly, 86 pound fuel injectors, and a ProCharger running 10 psi. All of the work on Joe's sweet daily driver was done by Southern Hotrod in Kenner, Louisiana.
Horsepower: 466.57
Torque: 471.09
1997 Dodge Viper GTS - Jim LaRosa (Strongsville, Ohio)
Jim LaRosa's Viper GTS proved itself to be the be-all and end-all of the competition. Built by Big 3 Racing in Hinckley, Ohio, the beast is equipped with a 503 cubic-inch stroker engine. There's no easy way to fully break it all down in a nutshell, but here goes nothing. The build includes: a factory crank, Pro-Gram main caps, ARP studs, Oliver billet rods, custom coated Ross pistons, Comp custom grind turbo camshaft, ported third generation heads with oversized valves and Jesel rockers, a stock third generation intake, 1400cc fuel injectors, three Aeromotive 340 lph fuel pumps in the tank, and an Aeromotive regulator. A twin turbo system is where the real power is harvested - two large custom-made air-to-water intercoolers, all custom piping, and Comp Turbo 7171 triple ball bearing, oil-less turbochargers (each capable of 900 horses). Amazingly, the car still has all factory amenities including air conditioning and a full stereo system. The engine is apparently run off of an AEM Infinity Stand-Alone EFI system, and the best thing about this Viper? It's 100-percent street driven.
Horsepower: 915.21
Torque: Definitely not 2258.60*
*There was apparently a glitch in our reading. On Big 3 Racing's dyno, the car produced 1,053 lb-ft - a much more realistic number.
1995 Dodge Ram 2500 - Garret Struck (Webster, Florida)
This torque monster is Garret Struck's daily driver, and it has an incredible 316,197 miles on the odometer. Although the Ram has only been his for a few months, he went head-to-head in our competition with a 360 cubic-inch engine paired with an automatic transmission built by Inline Performance of Bushnell, Florida. The diesel still possesses its stock turbocharger - well, actually, the whole truck is stock, save for an upgraded fuel system that Garret has pieced together.
Horsepower: 235.30
Torque: 548.50
2008 Dodge Ram - Travis Jefferson (Waterford, Pennsylvania)
Best quarter-mile time: 16 @ 91 mph
Horsepower: 409.52
Torque: 911.69
1992 Dodge Ram 250 (Diesel) - Jack Irons
The '92 Ram 250 pictured here belongs to Jack Irons and is powered by a stock 5.9L Cummins with a stock automatic transmission. A 4-inch exhaust and 3.54 gears in a Dana 70 rear end are basically the only modifications, and Jack brags that he gets 23mpg on the highway - not bad!
Horsepower: 177.84
Torque: 377.09

We're getting a bit into the religions of Shior today, an' that brings up an issue - readers do not know much (probably anything) about Shiorian particulars. I'm not entirely sure how to handle this. I've thought of adding a few pages specifically on Shior itself - governments, religions, history. Common knowledge material - things that most Shiorians would know, and thus aren't explained in much detail within the comic itself. However, this would be a great deal of work - and I have no idea whether it would actually be wanted.
Another choice, and the one I will take for the time being, is to simply answer questions presented in this forum. Not just anything, mind - only the common knowledge material. So, basically, if you're confused about something, ask. I'll answer.
And yes, I am hoping that this method of handling the situation will bring more people to the boards. I value reader oppinions.
Anyways, post. Ask me questions. Let me know you're actually reading my comic.
Thanks, an' happy posting.

Essay by Melissa Chittick and Stephen Salmons
When Upstage, originally known as The Mask of Comedy, opened in 1926, it was praised for its behind the scenes look at the life of traveling vaudevillians. "The troupers are shown in their dressing rooms, in the restaurant, and even at the railroad station. You sense the tediousness of the existence .... Mr. Bell's glimpses of life in the wings are filmed with splendid sincerity." (New York Times, November 1926)
The leads, Oscar Shaw and Norma Shearer, received warm notices for their performances, too. In her February 1927 review for Motion Picture magazine, Gladys Hall wrote: "Oscar Shaw is human, appealing, convincing. And we all know Norma. She is particularly good in these impersonations of a stage, circus or vaudeville girl. There is considerable drama, a great many deft touches, reality and compassion."
Shaw was a musical comedy star on Broadway, and his first film was appropriately enough The Great White Way (1924). Upstage was his second film and, although he appeared in only four more, one of them was The Cocoanuts (1929), starring the Marx Brothers and produced by the director of Upstage, Monta Bell.
Shearer on the other hand was on the brink of mega-stardom. She had broken into show biz in her native Montreal by playing the piano in a nickelodeon. When the family fell on hard times, her mother pinned the family's fortunes on a more substantial show business career for Norma and her sister, moving the three of them to New York to take their shot at the big time. It was Norma's career that took off. She was rejected as chorus girl for the Ziegfeld Follies, but soon she was working as an extra in movies. Beginning with bit parts in The Flapper (1920) and Way Down East (1920), in short order she was landing progressively bigger parts, like her featured role in The Stealers (1920). In 1923 she signed with Metro Pictures, the studio that would become MGM, and moved to Hollywood. It was there Shearer had her breakthrough film when she starred in He Who Gets Slapped (1924) with Lon Chaney and John Gilbert. In 1927, she made what was arguably her finest career move when she acquired MGM's boy genius and head of production, Irving Thalberg, as both mentor and husband. She then went on to a series of important parts in first-class vehicles: The Student Prince of Old Heidelberg (1927), The Latest from Paris (1928) and, her final silent, A Lady of Chance (1928). Shearer was one of the few silent stars to make the transition to talkies with ease, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in The Divorcee (1930). After Thalberg's death in 1936, her career suffered, as her husband had been astute at picking the right scripts for her. She retired from acting after Her Cardboard Lover (1942), but she retained her substantial stock holdings in MGM. As a result, she was able to influence the studio from behind the scenes. It was Shearer, for example, that discovered Janet Leigh (at a ski lodge) and shepherded her to stardom.
Monta Bell, the director of Upstage, began his professional life as a newspaperman. Eventually his interests turned cinematic and he found a new career at MGM. He broke into films with directing and, within two years, had added screenwriting and producing to his credits. His triple-threat film career ran longer than 20 years, beginning in 1924 with The Snob, a film that marked his first collaboration with Norma Shearer, and ending in 1945 with his final film China's Little Devils.

knuckles,The needed information is:- the full sketch being used- A clear photo that shows all the wiring
he has the same problem as me, and i have noted the stern instructions that all the wires should be soldered to the LCD ,but having looked at the videos on youtube regarding connecting UNO to LCD ,none of them are soldered ,just having wires plugged in to a breadboard and they are all working just fine !so how do you explain that ?here is one thats the same as mine except no hello world display http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qfZPYmIo94
You have hijacked someone else's thread. This is rude.
theyre all wired up as the youtube example above ,all very simple stuff
do you think i am stupid
i am chucking them back in the shoebox till next year i cant afford to waste any more time on these LCD displays .the display on the Pololu orangatan works ok for now .i might try a few new ones next year in case theyre faulty .thanks for your input anyway
situation now resolved after i bought a cheapie display of ebay ,it was a 5 minute job to get it working ,looks like a faulty display was the problem.all sketches working fine with the new display .
Something else to consider.When you see the row of pins start at #15 & #16, then 1-14, it might be a non-backlit LCD display.I have several different 16x2 character displays, and of the 3 that are not backlit, 2 have the goofy pin orientation.With those pin 15 & 16 are not connected. Pin 1 & 5 - groundpin 3 - 10k pot OR resistor to ground (8k-9k)pin 2 - 5vpins 4,6,11-14 connected to arduino digital pins Adafruit has a wonderful tutorial which I still use as a reference. Never hurts to double check connections before heating the iron.http://learn.adafruit.com/character-lcds/wiring-a-character-lcd

The Livingston County Historical and Genealogical Society and its Preservation Committee hosted "Haunting Tales From Our Past" on 29 October 2010 at the Livingston County, Kentucky court house in Smithland. Attendees were greeted by musicians as they entered the lawn of the 165-year-old building. Upstairs the beautiful old court room was festive in seasonal decorations. Almost every seat was filled as storytellers related the colorful history of the area.

Stuart Peek, local attorney - Smithland's role in the Civil War
Carroll Walker, Livingston County Clerk - local ghost stories
Faye Teitloff, local historian - Jefferson's nephews and murders on the bluff
Linda Defew, writer - murder at Little Heaven
The event was to inform the public of the movement to preserve the old courthouse and the adjoining county clerks' offices. Donations to the Livingston County Historical and Genealogical Society [Preservation Committee], PO Box 138, Smithland, Kentucky 42081 are being accepted and will be appreciated.

I feel a personal attachment to this court house as my ancestors settled here very early. This building is where they obtained their marriage licenses, registered their deeds and had their wills probated. This beautiful structure has seen many floods and wars. Throughout each event, it was a beacon of hope when the world did not always seem normal or even sane.
No visit to Smithland is complete without a drive through Smithland Cemetery. I've photographed the cemetery in the morning and early afternoon in every season. This was the first time I had photographed it in late afternoon, shortly before dusk.

A Doppler ultrasound is a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to view the motion of fluids in the blood vessels.
Doppler ultrasound is used to:
In most cases, there are no complications with this test.
Your doctor may do the following:
In some cases your doctor may instruct you to:
You will lie on a table. Your doctor will put a gel on the skin over the area that will be examined. The gel helps the sound waves travel between the machine and your body.
The ultrasound machine has a hand-held instrument called a transducer. It looks like a microphone or wand. The transducer is pushed against your skin where the gel was applied. The transducer sends sound waves into your body. The waves bounce off your internal organs and echo back to the transducer. The echoes are changed into images that are shown on a screen. The doctor examines the images on the screen. Photographs of the images may be taken.
You may be asked to change positions or hold your breath during the exam.
The gel will be cleaned from your body. You will be able to return to normal activities in most cases.
About 30 minutes to 1 hour
A radiologist will examine the images after the test. Your doctor will let you know the results and talk to you about treatment.
After the test, call your doctor if symptoms become worse.
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disease induced by repeated blows to the head. Clinically, it is characterized by cognitive decline, mood disorders, and Parkinsonism. Pathologically, it is a tauopathy characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and glial tau inclusions that preferentially involve the cortical sulci, medial temporal lobe, diencephalon, and brainstem. It is a progressive degenerative disease of the brain found in athletes with a history of repetitive brain trauma, including symptomatic concussions as well as asymptomatic sub concussive hits to the head.
Disease Statistics
Approximately 1% of the population of developed countries experiences traumatic brain injury (TBI) each year. The pathological consequences have received increasing attention following reports of progressive neurological dysfunction in athletes who have been exposed to repetitive concussions in high-impact sports (initially boxing and, in the past 8 years, American football) and the increasing number of war veterans presenting with CTE caused by explosive blasts. According to a study 6.2 percent of deceased pro footballers had the condition, chronic traumatic encephalopathy before dying. The brain tissue of 128 footballers in all who played semiprofessionally, in college, in high school or at country level before dying and determined that 101 athletes, or 80 percent of the entire sample, tested positive for CTE. With respect to pro athletes, the statistic is closer to nine-out-of-ten.
Typical Symptoms
Symptoms of CTE are like those of other conditions that involve progressive loss of function or structure of nerve cells (neurodegenerative diseases), including: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Front temporal dementia and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Overall, people with CTE first have problems with thinking (cognition), mood and behavior. Later, they may also develop physical problems. Signs and symptoms of CTE usually begin eight to 10 years after repetitive mild traumatic brain injury. These include: Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment), Impulsive behavior, Depression or apathy, Short-term memory loss, Difficulty planning and carrying out tasks (executive function), Emotional instability, Substance abuse and Suicidal thoughts or behavior
Therapeutic Approach
Unfortunately at this time there is no cure for CTE. The best approach is to prevent head injury and stay informed about the latest recommendations for proper detection and management of mild traumatic brain injury.
Current Research
The major ongoing research studies of chronic traumatic encephalopathy are chronic traumatic encephalopathy: a potential late effect of sport-related concussive and sub concussive head trauma, TDP-43 proteinopathy and motor neuron disease in chronic traumatic encephalopathy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy in blast-exposed military veterans and a blast neuro trauma mouse model, Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, suicides and parasuicides in professional American athletes: the role of the forensic pathologist and more research works are being done to develop treatment for chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
