Today the Scouting Blogosphere has been pretty quiet, Been working on the next podcast. We are going to be talking about Den Chiefs, training Den Chiefs, and how Den Chiefs benefit your unit. Well we are talking about Den Chiefs anyway…
If you do have a good Den Chief program in your unit I would encourage you to check out the online Den Chief training at Scouting.org (http://www.scouting.org/Training/Youth/DenChefTraining.aspx)
We have used them in my Troop and it is important to make sure an get the right Scout in the position of Den Chief. Well, I won't post to much about it.. you'll have to listen to the show when it comes out Wednesday.
Having a weekend that was not really dedicated to Scouts was kind of nice this weekend, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that in a bad way. It was nice to spend the weekend with my boys.
I went to breakfast with my youngest this morning, it was great to just sit and talk. He and his brother are getting close to earning their Eagle Award. They are good young men.
Monday we will have a Troop meeting, the focus will be on the upcoming camp out and preparation for the Cross over we are doing on Saturday. The guys in the Troop put together a team, mostly OA members and they always do a nice job. We ordered more troop hats to give to the new Scouts. The price went up this year, not sure what to think about that, it is still reasonable, I guess that is a sign of the times.
I have been having an ongoing discussion with a few parents of the Troop on attendance at Courts of Honor. The Courts of Honor are great events and yet there has been a trend in the last two years of declining attendance at the COHs. I am not sure why, even Scouts that are due to receive awards, merit badges and rank are failing to show up. Well, I am sure we will crack that nut. I'm not overly concerned about it, I just want the Scouts to participate and enjoy their time in Scouting.
OK, that's enough rambling for now. #100daysofscouting continues to drive the focus!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Allow me to play devils advocate here for a minute. There has been quite a bit of discussion lately via email and in Scouting circles in which I find myself regarding Scouts in our programs. One argument is that Scouting is for every young man, the converse is that Scouting is not for everyone.
Boys enter our program with certain expectations and needs. Those Scouts have parents that also have certain expectations and wants. What I have seen and heard lately is that some parents and Scouts are not getting what they thought they would out of Scouting. I have been in discussions in which parents believe that their son is not having fun in the program. The question that I ask is simply, is Scouting really for everyone?
I submit for the sake of discussion that maybe Scouting is not for every boy. It may be that what Scouting offers is not what they want or need. It may be that the boy is not ready for the adventures that Scouting offer and well-intentioned parents do not really understand what Scouting is all about. It is also true that many Scout leaders do not know what Scouting is all about and therefore have promoted a program that misses the mark when it comes to achieving Scouting's aims. This has led to young boys joining troops that quickly disappoint or fail to deliver on the expectations they and their parents had on the join night.
Scouting at its core is about adventure and when a boy joins a unit that is full of adventure he may not be ready or willing to participate. Now, some would argue that participation is really not something that is of real importance in Scouting, but it is through participating fully in the program that the Scout gets the most out of Scouting. I had a mother say to me the other night that her son does not attend winter camp outs because he did not have a good experience during last years winter camping season. Why? Well, maybe he does not like camping in the winter.. I am ok with that. But does that paint the whole program as a negative thing? No, but maybe the Scout is not ready or willing. Once a boy starts down the road of picking and choosing those activities that he does not wish to participate in he will find it easier to reduce the level of activity he does. This is not true in all cases, remember that I am not suggesting anything here other that this is a question that we should ask. Maybe Scouting is not for everyone. Here is what I am saying…
Scouting is not for everyone. Scouting should not change to meet the Scouts needs. Scouting needs to stay the course on being an organization that has values, ideals, and adventure. Scouting should not "dumb down" to allow for boys to have a club to join. There are plenty of clubs out there that he can find a place in. Now, before you all jump on me let me say this here and make it very clear that I am not talking at all about Scouts or I should say boys with disabilities. This discussion has nothing… I repeat nothing to do with disabilities. That is another discussion and I think that needs to be addressed another time. I will say that there are ample opportunities for boys with disabilities to participate in Scouting and I encourage every young man who shows interest to try Scouting no matter the "ability". I will also say that no.. I do not consider ADD, ADHD, Autism, and a lack of focus a disability. Not when it comes to Scouting and the Scouting program. We prove over and over again that Scouts that have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD and Autism can participate in Scouting and high adventure activities. My Troop is proof of this. Moving on…
Scouting should not promote that everyone will be an Eagle Scout just because he joins and has a pulse. Scouting should continue to push the Scout to discover his world and find his limits.. then push them outside of his comfort zone. If Scouting decides to become the YMCA or Boys Club it will no longer deliver the promise. It will just become another after school club and that is not Scouting. That is not what Baden Powell, William Hillcourt, James E West, and the rest of the men that founded and established the direction for Scouting had in mind. We can met Scouts where they are, but we can never get away from the intent of the Scouting movement. We can not stray from the methods that lead us to achieving the aims and we can never allow Scouting to just be another club.
Not everyone wants what Scouting offers. Numbers, while they drive much of what the professional Scouters track are not the program. A great program that stays the course will bring in the numbers of boys that seek adventure, values, and ideals that are the hallmark of the Scouting program. Numbers for the sake of numbers will be just that and we see this play out each year with amount of boys that leave our units. They don't want to play the game with a purpose and we should not make them. A football player is not allowed to join a team and then make up the rules of the game or change the team uniform. He joins and plays the game that has been established. Not everyone can or wants to play football, not everyone can or wants to be a Scout. I recently sat with a group of Scouts and asks a few simple questions. The first I asked was if they thought Scouting was nerdy. They all said that they did not think so, but their friends at School did. I asked what they thought the 'nerdy' part of Scouting was.. aside from wearing the uniform. I figured I would take away the obvious answer. They all said that their friends really didn't know what we do. I asked them if they ever tell them what we do. They all pretty much said, no. They did not want to bring it up so they could talk about something else. Then I asked why not? Why not tell their friends that we rock climb at Smith Rock, that we snowshoe and build snow caves. That we have hiked the Oregon Coast trail, shoot shotguns and paddle the Deschutes river. That we backpack miles of the PCT and go caving in some cool volcanic caves. That we spent a week hiking in the Canyon country of New Mexico and that we have gone across the country to tour our Nations Capital and camp with 70,000 other Scouts. I asked why all of that sounds 'nerdy'. They couldn't tell me. But these are the guys that want to do all of that. These are Scouts and they want to be Scouts. Their friends could not nor would they be willing to do all of that, even given the chance. One of the Scouts spoke up and said that his friends thought Scouting was all about doing good deeds and being in Flag ceremonies. His friend said he didn't want to be in a club that did crafts and sang songs. So I asked this young man what he told his friend. He had a great answer, he told me that he said to his friend that "yeah, we sing songs, but it's out in the middle of the woods at our campfire at the end of a day that was full of fun". But then again, that's a kid that wants what Scouting has to offer.
Ok so what's the point here. The point is simply this. We beat ourselves up to make sure that every boy joins Scouting. Why? If they join great, but if they quit, did we fail? Did Scouting fail? No.. they just did not fit in our program. I have seen many Scouts come and go from our Troop and I can honestly say that the ones that left did not want to be there. It was nothing we did to chase them away, they just did not want to be in Scouts.
I have said it many times, I would rather have a Troop of 10 motivated boys that want to be there than have a Troop with 50 that don't.
Am I not supporting Scouting by saying this? Nope I am delivering the promise of Scouting to those that want it.
Once again, I am a fan of the writing of William "Green Bar Bill" Hillcourt. I have a copy of something he wrote way back when regarding the 10 Essentials of Scoutmastership. It goes like this.
A belief in boys that will make you want to invest yourself and your time on their behalf.
A zeal focused upon one point-the boy's happiness through his formative years- "A happy boy is a good boy, a good boy is a good citizen.
An immense faith in Scouting as the program that will best serve to mould our youth into fine men.
A realization that to the boys Scouting is a game – to you, a game with a purpose: Character, building citizenship training and physical fitness.
A knowledge that to your boys you are Scouting. "What you are speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say".
A steadfastness of purpose to carry out a planned program with energy and perseverance, patience and good humor.
A willingness to submerge yourself and make boy leaders lead and grow through and effective application of the Patrol Method.
A desire to advance in Scoutmastership by making use of training offered and material available on the subject.
A readiness to work hand in hand with home, church, sponsored institution, school, Local Council, National Council for the good of the individual boy and the community as a whole.
A love of the outdoors in all its phases and a vision of the hand that created it.
With an effective program that offers the "want to" so a boy joins, stays, and grows in Scouting we can see that Scouting is a great program. But that is not for everyone. If you as a Scouter can honestly read the 10 essentials of Scoutmastership and apply it to your unit you will create that environment. If you do not feel that you can do that, well then you prove the argument, that nope, Scouting is not for everyone, to include adults.
Before I get lots of hate mail… I am playing devils advocate here, but the point for me is taken well. I do not think that everyone needs to be in Scouting. I think those boys that want to be in should and once in we will do everything in our power to deliver to them the very best program.
Now, I do want to hear what you think. Please leave your comments, I would not ask if I didn't want to know.
Thank you all for all you do in Scouting!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

IMHO, worth every penny.
IMHO, worth every penny.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Yes. The Human Alliance BumbleBee is actually worth what they are asking for it (About 30). You get a Voyager sized figure ($20 anyway) and an articulated action figure (usually about $8 nowadays). To tool them up and articulate them that much costs the same whether they are little figures or 3 3/4". So just buy him because BumbleBee will probably never be a clearance sale item.
Voyager Optimus Prime is no where around here anymore. Obviously we finally got a movie that was a fair deal about HIM, and kids and everyone really took to liking him. This Optimus is the only really affordable on in a mainline toy (besides Legends I guess - if you call that mainline).
But anyway, figuring that Hasbro will probably NOT make a Fallen Leader Class figure, (since The Fallen never transforms in the movie anyway) I thought I'd get Megatron and Optimus in Voyager Class and finally open my Fallen figure and set up a battle. (Voyager Class Starscream remains a possibility, too). But maybe it's not important to set this up and I should just return my Fallen figure? To have Revenge of The Fallen dioramas but no figure of The Fallen?
Maybe The Fallen will have some behind-the-scenes footage on the DVD extras, like a conversation with Michael Bay between takes, the minasucle evil director explaining to the giant evil robot that they had to cut his character-developing exposition scenes to make room for more explosions in the movie and keep it under 3 hours of pyrotechnics?
It looks like they've raised prices on ROTF toys at Target. Deluxes are $13.09 while Leader class is 51.99!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
JT, the $13.09 Deluxes are everywhere - La Brea, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank. I was out at Valencia Target yesterday and am pretty sure it was thirteen and change there as well.
The $51.99 Leader class was at La Brea though I didn't really check at the other stores.
Wow, that is grade-A horse****. This line isn't even doing well enough to make that move.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Oops, correction, that's $13.69 for Deluxes at La Brea. Of course, all they have are Wheelies.
Wow. I'm glad I don't really want anything right now. Those prices suck.
If Wheelie didn't sound like Joe Pesci, and, instead, said silly rhymes like, "Friends find, look behind," would he be pegwarming this hard?
Classic Wheelie may be the least popular character in G1, but his last figure still eludes me.
That's my jacket!

By NEMS Daily Journal
The Hostess Bakery and Thrift Store on Cliff Gookin Boulevard in Tupelo saw a steady stream of customers on Friday as news spread of the company's closure spread. Shelves inside the store were getting bare.
WTVA reported 18 workers, including delivery drivers soon would lose their jobs.
Store management declined to provide additional details, but customers were told the thrift store would open this morning.
Clay Knight of Todd's Big Star on West Main Street said Hostess products weren't flying off the shelves yet, but he expected them to.
Wonder Bread Classic loaves were on sale for two for $3. A nearby Hostess snacks shelf had only two Twinkies packages and a handful of Hostess Cupcakes and powdered donuts. Fruit pies and Ding Dongs were nowhere to be found.
"I'm not sure what will happen next," Knight said. "We'll sell what we have and that could be it."
Wonder Bread also was repackaged as Best Choice bread, but Knight said other bakers like Colonial would pick up the slack. But the famous Hostess snack cakes are likely gone forever unless another company decides to make them, Knight said.

Institutional Review Board
Institutional Review Board
The cornerstone of protection for human research participants is an independent Institutional Review Board (IRB), which reviews research activities at an institution with the focus of protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects recruited to participate in those research activities.
Bloomsburg University's IRB is authorized to approve, require changes, or disapprove all research activities that it reviews.
Officials in the research office may disapprove a project that has been approved by an IRB, however, they may not approve research that has been disapproved by the IRB. The first priority of Bloomsburg's Human Subjects Review Board is to protect the participants in all research carried out at the university.
The Human Subjects Review Board considers the following points when reviewing submission:
- First, subjects must be given sufficient information on which to decide whether or not to participate, including the research procedures, their purposes, risks and anticipated benefits, alternative procedures (where therapy is involved), and a statement offering the subject the opportunity to ask questions and to withdraw at any time from the research.
- Second, subjects must be able to comprehend the information that is given to them. The presentation of information must be adapted to the subject's capacity to understand it.
- Finally, consent to participate must be voluntarily given. The conditions under which an agreement to participate is made must be free from coercion and undue influence. IRBs should be especially sensitive to these factors when particularly vulnerable subjects are involved.
Please note that all research must be approved by the Human Subjects Review Board before it can be performed on campus. This includes all requests from other schools both within the PASSHE System and those not within the PASSHE system. Anyone asked to be part of research or survey should ask for the approval letter. If they do not have an approval letter please ask them to contact Dr. Tobey Scharding at firstname.lastname@example.com.

With a finished dog running qualifying type marks how do you handle when they take a bad line to a mark that takes them on the wrong side of the gun? My dog will occasionally do this. Some times I am think that he might have missed the bird and is running to the gunner station and just making a bad guess as to which side the bird is on but I don't think this is the case. Though he doesn't look away and truly head swing I think he is not focused enough.
Anyway, do you handle on the way out, the area of the fall, not at all and let him hunt it up. Just curious as to peoples thoughts on the issue.

Concert celebrates 75th anniversary of organ, Nov. 15
Posted November 5, 2003; 05:37 p.m.
"Sound, Sensation and Celebration," a concert marking the 75th anniversary of the organ in the University Chapel, is planned for 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15.
David Messineo, principal University organist since 2000, will perform music with historical significance to the organ.
The instrument was constructed and installed in 1928 by the Skinner Organ Co. of Boston. Over the years, various University organists have altered the 109 stops and 8,000 pipes to suit changing styles of performance. Messineo has called the Mander organ "one of the best in this part of the country."
His program on Nov. 15 will open with "Toccata, Adagio and Fugue" by J.S. Bach. It also will include music by Marcel Dupre, the noted French organist, who served as a consultant to Princeton on the original Skinner organ. Other works will be: "Pieces de fantaisie" by Louis Vierne, a piece dedicated to Alexander Russell, director of music at Princeton when the organ was installed, and Ernest Skinner, builder of the organ; "Fantasie Dialogue" by Leon Boellmann, which was on the program for the organ's first recital and demonstration on Oct. 13, 1928; and "O God Beyond All Praising" (Thaxted) by Gustav Holst, which will feature members of the Chapel Choir.
Tickets are $15 for general admission and free for students. For more information, contact Penna Rose , director of chapel music, at (609) 258-3654.

Michele de Lucchi Vase
Produzione Privata
After the criticisms and confirmations, the exaltation of design and the conclusion of Memphis, Michele De Lucchi founded Produzione Privata, taking up the urge for change that was in the air at the turn of the 90's.
Aware of the gap that had been created between design and production, he set out to rediscover the role of the architect as an intellectual who conceives and fulfills his projects with a more responsible approach to the quality and beauty of things.
What had started as a small-scale craft-oriented production of experimental projects traced by his pencil very soon proved to be an opportunity to make objects using technologies on the margins of industrial production, but treated within the logic of series.
Born in 1951 in Ferrara, Italy, Michele De Lucchi studied in Padua and Florence, graduating with his architectural degree in 1975. A prominent symbol in experimental architecture, Michele De Lucchi was well known in the Cavart, Alchymia and Memphis movements. Not only has he designed lighting fixtures and furniture for the most prominent producers in Europe, he has developed many theories of the evolution of the workplace, and accomplished "experimental products" for Compaq Computers, Philips, Siemens and Vitra.
In 1973 Michele De Lucchi partnered with other designers and architects to create Cavert, which was considered a radical design group during that time. Kartell discovered his artistry in 1978 and hired him in Milan to design for Centrokappa. He later met up with Ettore Sottsass and joined the Studio Alchimia designers. Between his many creations he became a design consultant for Olivetti in 1979. In 1990 Michele De Lucchi founded a small lighting company, Produzione Privata, to produce lighting that could disregard the requirements of mass production and be made by craftsmen using traditional techniques.View other products by Michele de Lucchi

Current state of vpsBoard 02/04/2017Dear vpsBoard members and guests:
Over the last year or two vpsBoard activity and traffic has dwindled. I have had a change of career and interests, and as such am no longer an active member of the web hosting industry.
Due to time constraints and new interests I no longer wish to continue to maintain vpsBoard. The web site will remain only as an archive to preserve and showcase some of the great material, guides, and industry news that has been generated by members, some of which I remain in contact to this very day and now regard as personal friends.
I want to thank all of our members who helped make vpsBoard the fastest growing industry forum. In it's prime it was an active and ripe source of activity, news, guides and just general off-topic banter and fun.
I wish all members and guests the very best, whether it be with your business or your personal projects.

Wow! Toshiko and Owen! noooooo. that device Toshiko puts together is seriously cool.
Go Gwen.
Jack's a wuss. Never stops blubbing.
Iantho is finally coming out of his shell. really like how he's been on the slow burner and gradually come to the fore.
Rhys drives a Ford Capri! cool man.
PC Andy should get more time. he makes me chuckle.
That blowfish alien is fantastic. love the way the head fin moves.
The view over Cardiff when that thing starts happening all over is really nice. very movie-esque.
Cpt. John, god he looks old. and so thin. just skin and bone. that's not a healthy look.
I thought the finale was patchy but the good bits more than made up for the padding. when he's not snarling and shouting Burn Gorman is actually a fine actor. I hated Owen to begin with but I've warmed to him. the geek episode 'Adam' I thought he was lovely in. managed to be geeky without too many cliched touches.
oh well back to DW. there are now two preview clips of Silence in the library floating around. plus the mid season trailer. It was officially announced that Russel T Davies is stepping down as executive producer and is being replaced by Stephen Moffat who wrote Blink from season three. From the sound of things there will be some changes made to the show. I think RTD is onboard through til the xmas 2009 special then Moffat takes the reigns properly with season five.
RTD has written a book about his time on Dr. Who where apparently he discusses how it came to be that the show was brought back and the struggles they had bringing it to the screen. sounds like a RTD ego stroke to me but it might be worth a read.

A greater range would be achieved if you use 1Mbps or 256kbps air data rate.
Ok, the library defaults to 1 Mbps data rate, so I patched it 250 Kbps, a
typedef enum { RF24_1MBPS = 0, RF24_2MBPS, RF24_250KBPS } rf24_datarate_e;
typedef enum { RF24_1MBPS, RF24_2MBPS, RF24_250KBPS = 0 } rf24_datarate_e;

Which library are you using. I would recommend using the NRF24 library. Changing the air data rate is easy, just go through the examples given in the library.

Biogen Idec (BIIB) was up more than 1% in afternoon trading, after the company's second quarter beat expectations, boosted by its new multiple sclerosis treatment.
Biogen reported earnings increased 26.8% to $490.7 million, or $2.06 a share. Excluding one-time items, adjusted earnings rose to $2.30 a share from $1.82. Revenue grew 21% to $1.72 billion.
The results beat analysts' expectations for 1.94 a share on revenue of $1.62 billion.
The big standout in the quarter was the company's new MS oral drug, Tecfidera, which logged sales of $192 million, more than double than the Street was expecting. Analysts eventually expect Tecfidera and other pill treatments will replace the injectable therapies that currently dominate the market.
Biogen is already seeing some cannibalization, with some patient switching to the new option from its MS infusion Tysabri; still, Tysabri saw revenue climb 38%.
In addition, the company raised its full-year forecast, guiding for earnings per share between $8.25 and $8.50 a share, on revenue growth of 22% to 23%. Last quarter, the company said it expected to earn $7.80 to $7.90 a share on revenue growth of 16% to 18%.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Michael Yee reiterated his Outperform rating and $275 price target on the stock, writing "Our long-term thesis is positive in that 1) estimates generally still need to go up for FY14-15 due to Tecfidera doing better than expected and the high margin sales flow all to the bottom line (ie earnings leverage), plus Avonex core business doing better than expected, 2) it's really all about 2014-15 pipeline readouts which aren't really in estimates all could be upside (SMN-Rx w/ ISIS, STX-100 for IPF lung disease, anti-LINGO for neurology is biggest open-ended opportunity, and Tysabri in SPMS could double sales). That said, in short-medium term, the back-drop is mgmt stated the EU "exclusivity" decision for Tecfidera launch is taking longer than expected and suggested visibility still unclear so this will be a binary event. If they don't get exclusivity, stock may fall to $200 and would be buying opportunity as it's only a 10-15% EPS hit but then pipeline is all upside."

Bake a dessert that appeals to a range of dinner guests. There's something for everyone here, where cherry pie meets pecan pie, drizzled in chocolate.
If you don't have brandy, soak the cherries in a mixture of 1/4 cup water and 1 teaspoon brandy extract.
Store custard-type pies like this in the fridge. But if you want to serve it warm, place slices on individual microwavable plates and microwave on High for about 10 seconds.
For a pretty presentation, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and a festive chocolate tree (see page 00).

Sure, you'll never go wrong with a calming cup of Sleepytime tea. But tart cherry juice may also help you fall asleep faster; a 2010 study found that tart cherry juice boosted levels of melatonin, which helps you fall asleep. That means longer time asleep, and more restful sleep — drink up.

Water will always be your best bet for bloat, as it acts like a diuretic and flushes out the body's excess salt, and fast. (Add a lemon slice to your glass and you're really good to go.) But add a few mint leaves to your water, or sip on a mint tea, to help relax your digestive tract. You'll see a flatter belly in no time.

| Water or Tea
There's an old wives' tale that says to drink milk to avoid heartburn, especially middle-of-the-night heartburn. But that daily dose of milk could end up aggravating your heartburn. Dairy can trigger certain stomach acids that cause heartburn, and most experts agree that eating or drinking anything too close to bedtime will only add to heartburn woes. It's best to avoid caffeine, carbonated soft drinks, and alcohol to prevent heartburn, and instead drink water or tea to ease the pain. Some say that herbal teas, like slippery elm, licorice root, or chamomile tea, can protect your esophagus and stomach lining and soothe away heartburn.

| Fruit Juice or Sports Drinks
So you didn't follow the "drink one glass of water for every drink" rule, huh? You're going to want to stock up on the water post-party (alcohol is a diuretic, after all), but there are plenty of other drinks in the fridge that just might help ease the pain. While sports drinks have long been tossed aside for workouts, they just might pack the punch of electrolytes you desperately need after a night of drinking. Fruit juice also gets a bad rap for its added sugars, but a dose of fructose kick-starts the body to get rid of the lingering toxins of alcohol. So grab a Gatorade before heading to your greasy spoon diner — the coffee you so desperately crave with your eggs and bacon will only dehydrate you more.

| Pomegranate or Watermelon Juice
Water should always be the first drink you grab before and after hitting the gym, but some new studies shed light on two juices that just might relieve some post-workout aches and pains. Watermelon juice, one study found, helped relieve participants' muscle soreness after a cycling routine. The reason may be watermelon's L-citrulline, an amino acid that boosts blood flow and helps muscles recover faster after a tough workout. Another juice said to work wonders? Pomegranate juice, thanks to its high content of polyphenols and ellagitannin, an antioxidant that protects muscle fibers from damage. Others also say that caffeine before a workout can help reduce muscle aches and pains. In a study from the University of Georgia, those who took a caffeine pill (about the equivalent of two cups of coffee) helped reduce soreness in participants post-workout. They believe it's because caffeine releases adenosine, which blocks the brain's receptors for pain. Still, coffee can be dehydrating, so don't load up on the coffee before your grueling workout.

Dont matter if you spin ricer motors or flat heads, you cant beat experience, each crowd will have their guru's and I would bet it will be the one's who have been at it the longest amount of time.
And that's exactly why in many cases the younger guys who grew up with DOHC, EFI, and turbos have the edge.
comparing apples to oranges,,, its not about total performance or hp per liter, my point is that the one with more experience is gonna come out ahead everyday in his or her class, could be lawn mower racing.
THE JERK WITH THE MOST MONEY will come out ahead.
if g.m. did as you say, we'd not have the ls family.
we'd have the northstar p.o.s.
same with the engine program for nascar..
same at ford..
What do you base that little blurb on???
Sam Winegarden was the head of the LS project- he's in his mid to late 50s. Tom Stevens wa said to be the "driving force" behind the entire project. He's like 63 now.
He was already a ~22 year veteran in '92- when the design began according to several sources. So he'd have been in his mid-40s. He was still at GM in 2011, w/more responsibilities. I bet if you asked him he's say he's picked up a few things since the beginning of the LS engine.
You will be needing someone to run the number into the calculator every week until they find some more power. The most guy with experience only is not going to break new ground on a regular bases. If you want to go faster every week you need some double E degrees. and deep pockets to try **** the calculator says will work only to find out the metal in the rods or crank wont take it. Then you got to find ways to make it work or move on to another avenue for perfromace.
Age still does not matter. Experience will only take you to stage one with a class racing car. Every trick in the book is useless once the competition is doing it as well.
Now if you have experience and some strong math and computer skills you can do a lot with a race car and these people all have jobs. Let me assure you. The young guys mostly work for the indy teams and the older guys with those skills work for Factory or some other larger race teams. Or in the automotive design department of major manufacturer like edelbrock and GM.
Squish and quench are two (2) different functions of the same part of the combustion chamber. This part exists in wedge, hemi, and pent chambers just in a different configuration. It also exists in the Ford flathead which would never have lasted into 1953 without it; it just looks different when you look inside of one. For a wedge the squish/quench step is on the side furthest from the spark plug. For the hemi and pent chamber it is a circular ring around the outside diameter. For the Ford flat head and the Briggs and Stratton it would be the extreme close closure of the piston to the cylinder head, because the valves are off in an anti-chamber beside the bore which makes a long and difficult chamber to design.
Both Ford and Chevrolet tried putting the squish/quench "wedge" into the piston in the MEL and the W motor while using a plainer surface to the head, neither worked as well as desired. While the Ford Cortina and other small bore Euro designs worked pretty well. Goes to show that bore diameter has a say in the outcome so hard fast rules will head you into problems.
Smokey skims a lot of subjects, while wanting to make money from his books, he really wasn't looking to add competition on the track, so there are a number of technical issues he leaves the reader with just enough information for them to be dangerous to themselves and everyone nearby.
Lets take Squish and Quench functionally apart, they are two different things happening at different times but produced by the same parts.
1) Squish---this happens as the piston is rising and ignition has not happened but will soon. Squish ejects the mixture from the distant side of the chamber regardless of shape (flathead included) toward the spark plug. It is intended to do two things to the mixture; first is to breakup remaining fuel globules into a fine mist and mix the air and mist into a homogeneous brew for a fast and complete as possible burn; the second event in Squish is to place as much molecular density as possible before the spark plug, this increases the likelihood of the spark actually starting a fire that also spreads quickly through the higher density of molecules than would be there in a more open chamber.
2) Quench---this happens at the end burn as the piston is passing over Top Dead Center and starting down the bore. Once ignition occurs the temperature inside the cylinder raises very high, thus in accordance with the Gas Laws so does the pressure. As the temperature and pressure increase, the yet to be combusted mixture ahead of the flame front is pushed into its self-ignition zone. The best example of this are the videos made of a home fire as it progresses in a closed room where combustible gases collect along the ceiling as the contents of the room burn. At some point the temperature and pressure along the ceiling come to the self ignition point of those gases and they just suddenly explode. A similar thing will happen to that mixture on the far side of the chamber as it gets hotter and more pressurized from expanding because of that heat. Suddenly it just explodes sending an even higher pressure wave to slam back into the flame front. So what to do involves Quench, which is nothing more than an area, the same area that did the Squish function nano-seconds earlier is now a place where there are two large surfaces that have a very small volume of mixture trapped between them. Lots of surface and little volume allows the surface to sink the heat out of the trapped mixture keeping it cool enough and lower the local pressure as a result to where the explosion of detonation is less likely to occur.
Since modern unleaded pump gasoline pump fuels cannot be doped with unlimited amounts of lead to push resistance to keeping the end burn from self-igniting, there has been a significant return to the Ricardo chamber to mechanically extend the octane of available fuel. Engines of the late 1950's through 1970 exhibit small and often sloppy degrees of squish quench as you the consumer could just buy more octane, if it pinged on 100, you bought 110. Today this option doesn't exist at least on the street, so we have to do a better job of design and manufacture which you see stating to happen in the mid 1980's as the manufacturers turn from add on gadgets to a systems integration approach to design to solve the problems of emissions, improved mileage, and increased power.
I'll offer a picture of a graph that is the output of the same engine in back to back dyno runs with the only change being an 18cc circular dish piston for an 18cc D dish piston. This because of the difference in dish shapes changes the amount of surface area in close proximity during squish and quench. The D dish has more activity than the circular dish. The big effect is to fatten the torque and power curves from midrange up to equality around the peak RPMs and the D dish carries its power fatter and longer into the rev range over the point of peak horsepower.
Bear with my I'm having quite a time getting old data into something that can be trasfered into here using this new Windows update.
double E? really? maybe for ignition or sensors. Try mech e, materials e, aero e, chemical e, metallurgical e, etc. BTW, I went to an engineering school, and am very familiar with guys that do all o fthose things and what the differences of each field are. My schooling was in civil e- so you'd need me for the dragstrip, not so much on the car. (don't get me started on how little some mechanical engineers know when it comes to cars though- like anything else there are good and bad engineers in every field)

I know by experience on three engines I assembled that a zero quench distance works to lower operating temperature of the engine.
A zero piston/deck quench distance with Fel Pro head gasket with .039" crushed thickness resulted in 20 degree reduction in operating temperature on three 455 Pontiac engines using 105 octane VP C-12 racing fuel. . My engine builder CNC machined the deck on all three engines about .030" to achieve a zero piston/deck height.
My associate's 428 Pontiac Bonneville ran 30 - 40 degrees hotter after he machined the piston tops 0.125" like a pieces of baloney in a futile attempt to run 93 octane pump gas. His piston/deck quench distance was about .155" plus .039" crushed head gaskets. He could not load the motor without severe pre-ignitioneven on 105 octane VP racing fuel. If he had dished the pistons 2.00" O.D. x .200" deep leaving 1.00" quench perimeter around the top of the piston, the engine would have run on kool-aid quality pump gas at 190 degrees on a 110 degree day. .

Sheffield United 0 Wolves 2 - match report and pictures
Much-changed Wolves returned to winning ways to end form team Sheffield United's march at Bramall Lane.
Man of the match James Henry's cross gave Wolves a 16th-minute lead and was the Blades' first conceded in nine games before the recalled Dave Edwards clinched it eight minutes after the break.
Although Carl Ikeme made a superb save from Jose Baxter in the fourth minute, it ended up being as routine a win as they have had for a while, and a 20th clean sheet of the season.
Wolves boss Kenny Jackett sprang a major surprise by making four changes to the side beaten 2-1 at Crawley on Tuesday.
Out went captain Sam Ricketts, Jack Price, Bakary Sako and Nouha Dicko to be replaced by Matt Doherty, Lee Evans, Edwards and Leon Clarke.
But Wolves were quickly forced on the back foot by the in-form Blades as early as the fourth minute when Ikeme made a superb save to deny Baxter, flinging himself to his left to keep out the forward's angled shot from the edge of the six-yard box from a loose ball after a cross dropped invitingly.
Wolves settled down however but it was the home side who dominated possession, with the visitors' cause not helped by an over-zealous referee who seemed to favour United.
Michael Jacobs had Wolves' first attempt on nine minutes but his left-foot drive lacked power and keeper Mark Howard made a falling save.
Wolves took the lead following a passage of decent play, but just like Henry's goal at Brentford, there was an element of good fortune about it.
The run of Edwards did all the damage as Howard left it expecting him to change the direction of Henry's cross, which instead dropped into the far corner of the net for his ninth goal of the season.
United went on to have most of the possession but they failed to test Ikeme.
Instead it was Wolves who went closest to another goal, Henry's superb curling pacy shot hitting the inside of the post from 25 yards with Howard at full stretch in the 32nd minute.
Eight minutes later, Henry was at it again with another shot but this time his angled effort wide.
Wolves still had to be alert defensively however and Richard Stearman, who had another excellent game, headed John Brayford's shot off the line when Ikeme was beaten seconds before half-time.
The visitors gave themselves the perfect start to the second half by scoring again.
And this time there was no element of luck about it as they netted a stylish goal.
Jacobs started it with a lovely crossfield ball from the left to Henry on the right and his left-footed cross was dummied by Evans and swept home by Edwards on the volley from 12 yards out.
Wolves shored things up with the arrival of Price for Evans on the hour but the next change was enforced as the unlucky Doherty picked up an injury and was replaced by Ricketts on 74 minutes.
Before that, on 66, United brought on the rangy Chris Porter for Baxter to change the angle of their attack, with a more direct route.
But Wolves had little trouble containing the hosts, who seemed tired and short on ideas.
And Jackett's side saw the game out without further fuss to chalk up their 20th clean sheet of the season.Subscribe to our Newsletter

Normal service resumed.
Important win and against a good side in form too. Confidence booster for the lads and KJ once again got his selection right.
Onwards and most definatly upwards.
Another great performance and clean sheet against a form side. Interesting changes (that were probably needed to give some of them a rest) from KJ that seemed to work.
Well done lads, keep it going..
At the time of posting, the Saddlers are winning, so fingers crossed.
Still top of the League tonight.. Happy days..
Great win - on track again. Well done the Wolves.
Jackett the Hat
Brave, brave decisions by King Kenny, the coolest man at Molineux -
While everyone else is chewing their fingernails, the head coach is meticulous , calm and decisive , drops four of our better players , gives them a rest but keeps the whole squad hungry and still comes away with the points.
It's gotta be an indication that he wants a strong finish to the season.
In Kenny we trust.
Ritchie Wolves
The Hat, Yes he's cool and boy does he know his squad but brave? Na!! your only brave when you take chances and don't really know what your doing!!!!
Great manager in the making if we all back him........
Come on............
Farmer Ted
Our head coach yet again proves he knows best. Rested four leading players and still comes up trumps. Couldn't be there today to enjoy pooping the Sheffield United party but Colchester MK Dons here I come. Not too worried about Brentford it's Orient we need to target. C'mon Walsall (HT 1-0)
chris h
Farmer Ted, I should imagine today's win would have been very satisfying for Kenny Jackett. Excellent win against an inform side away and changes in personnel and tactics working a treat. 5 points clear and a game in hand, almost there.
As I said after the Crawley defeat, the doom and gloom merchants were sharpening their knives. But Kenny jacket has and will get teams promoted from this league. What a superb response from the lads. To stop the blades. What was it, 9/10 wins out of the last 11? Untill the played wolves.
Just like brentford and orient the good teams are finding out just how determined WWfc are this season. Roll on Tuesday and Colchester. U t w.
Karl: just a minor point, but it makes a big difference matey..
"We're top of the League" not "Were...." :o)
What a win, we are on a roll again hopefully, lets fill the mol for the remainder of the season and send the lads up in style.
Great result after the disapointment against Crawley mid week, hopefully the boys are back on track and can keep putting pressure on the chasing pack. Come on me babbies.
The Flying Winger
Credit to Jackett for mixing the team a bit, whatever the why's and wherefores it worked, with the games to get through should help the team.
Good result and allows us to push on again..
Well done WWFC, back to winning ways. Hope we can keep it going.
Kenny Jackett is a master-class in THIS league! Keep it rolling, Wolves! Fantastic result, and the March towards a championship rolls on!
Looks like Stearman has found his level.
What's that supposed to mean???!!!!!!
Farmer Ted
Totally unnecessary and VERY ignorant.
Statos Boring Brother
Perhaps it something to do with having an extended run in one position with the same defensive partner rather than the constant chopping and changing he's had in the last few years.
The Flying Winger
No need for that, he is and has always played well for the team and club.
I too
Stearman is becoming the new Jody Craddock.
A little more coaching from Jody please in readyness for the Championship and Premiership.
I thought this was a great win so why have a go at Stearman,
Orlando Wolves
With a comment like that my friend, you most certainly have found your level!
Stearman was one of the first to acknowledge the away fans so why such a stupid comment ?
so when wwfc signed stearman from leicester, an england U21 defender, why did you not make that remark ,bloseph?
1. you just need a hate figure,(karl henry)
2. okay he was found out at premier level, but who was'nt?
3. our goals conceded tells you that, stearman has improved and he is trying to make amends for last seasons failings.
4. you could be a naughty baggie out to cause mischief.
Wednesbury wolves
Hate figure Karl kick the ball sideways or backwards Henry, one of the worst players to wear a gold and black shirt and one of the reasons along with the other 9 players we got relegated 2 years running, have left out ikeme.
Farmer Ted
Why rehash all that unnecessary cobblers?
That's gone, this is now.
However remember two things.
1)Karl Henry skippered the most successful Wolves side since the Seventies.
2) Many posters on these threads look forward to your opinions; you are very informed and sometimes we have our legs crossed in anticipation.
He was also one of the players who helped us get into the premiership but doesn't that count in your world, hate figure maybe by some but not all!!!
Totally agree with you Farmer Ted but that's not unusual.
A good solid performance by the lads. I said yesterday, lets see if we can do to Sheffield, what we did to Brentford, and end their excellent run. And we did just that, two well taken goals, and another clean sheet. It would have been easy to have collapsed,after the last two games. But fair play to the lads, they got themselves back on track today, against the inform team. It sounded like Henry was m.o.t.m. but Dave Edwards,also played very well. I thought it made sense to rest some players today,it's no point having a big squad like ours,if you dont utilise it. And it certainly worked in our favour. Also a big well done to our back four,especially Stearman who was also excellent, and Ikeme, who made a top save in first few minutes WELL PLAYED THE LADS: UTW: And what great away supporters nearly 3,000 of them, who out sang the Blades fans.
Chillo Wolf
No longer worried!
The Flying Winger
Steady Chillo Wolf
Wednesbury wolves
I am worried for top spot chillo, couldn't make it today as I've only just finished work, were they convincing today mate? As Tuesday night they lacked everything, looking forward to colchester now at the golden palace, then mk dons next Saturday, wot a day out that's gonna be, bet there won't be many steptoes around 2nite, like last Saturday!!!!!!!!
Chillo Wolf
I didn't go as last time i went to Bramall lane we lost 3-0 (and I'm painting the nursery for a new Wolves fan that arrives in August - just in time for new season in the Championship)
However, commentary suggests it was a good win, good performance although we were put under pressure at times but dealt with the it admirably.
Sounds like Henry was well worth MoTM

Chillo, Congratulations.
Farmer Ted
Lilac or old (pale) gold ?
Chillo Wolf
Cheers Chris
Farmer Ted - Has to be Old Gold
Wednesbury wolves
Congrats chillo, didn't think u had it in u mate, ha ha only kidding!!!! Anyway anybody who went today can they tell me how Clarke did? As my mate griffo scored again.
Congratulations Chill, gonna call him Jez if it's a lad ;-)
I've even started calling my missus Jezza, and it's all your fault mate. lol
Chillo Wolf
Cheers Wednesbury
Chillo Wolf
Jez Chillo Wolf .. got a ring to it that has
Cheers Eldervo :)
Orlando Wolves
Job wee done by Wolves - a job well done by Chillo Wolf. Congratulations!
Orlando Wolves
well - not wee. (sticky key)
Bath Wolf
Well done to the lads today, a terrific score line after last week. Good to see KJ mixing it up a little too. UTW
Statos Boring Brother
Yes - that's better.
I was a bit more confident about this match as Sheffield were never going to stick 10 men back in defence and try to score on the break as we've had to play against in the last tow matches. Looks like KJ has spotted a bit of tiredness or niggling injuries with his changes and, hopefully, Doherty's knock won't be too bad.
I'll also claim some credit as I was stuck in deepest Devon with no internet and resisted the temptation to check it up on teletex (I'm sure it was partly my fault for the Crawley games as I broke my own rule and checked the score before the finish which has always been bad luck since teletex was invested in the 1970/80's).
Bruce, Trinidad
Phew great to get back to winning ways with Brentford breathing down our necks. Thanks to Walsall for holding Orient.

Great win today,must give KJ credit for swapping things around,a lot of players booked shows how much we wanted it today
Play offs now confirmed as lowest we can finish is 6th ,but we need to show the same effort against the lower sides in this league to finish off the job,9 to go, win 5 and we go up, win 6 and probably champions, but still hard games to come and will need everyone at their best for every game.
Down to 2 from 3 now, with Preston dropping more points, cant see them or Rotherham catching us, even though we have to play Rotherham yet, and Orient, which should seal promotion when we beat them,we seem to go up a gear when it really matters, so ive no doubt we will beat Orient,as we did Brentford
The French connection will benefit from a break, and hopefully come back refreshed and with a point to prove to everyone, in the final run in,they are obviously talented players ,but do get complacent and start showboating, we are not in the position to do that yet, perhaps in the last few games we can afford the fancy stuff, i certainly hope so,but for now we need to match every team that we play for effort, our quality will then see us through,much maligned Edwards can do that for a few games np, always a threat and always gives 100%, if not always in full control of his thought process lol
Daylight has been created,we now need to stretch our legs and get through the 80s asap, once thats done ill breath a lot easier

Make no mistake, Ikeme's save in the fourth minute was unbelievable. The Blades guy wasn't that far out and hit it hard. How Carl got to it I just don't know. Looking forward to seeing it again on Wolves Player. If that had gone in, who knows what would have happen in the match. But it didn't and Wolves came away with an excellent win. Good to see Dave Edwards have a really good game in his preferred position. UTW.
Just back from match. A strong, combative and reassuring imposing performance by the lads today, as they completely out-played a team bang in form, with no help from a referee who did us absolutely no favours throughout. With so many meritless bookings, I think he wanted to get an invite to the team's Christmas party. Whole team played well today – hard to single anyone out as that would be unfair, but I thought McDonald, in particular, was absolutely terrific. Up against his former club - and remorselessly booed every time he touched the ball - he proceeded to show the Blades' fans exactly what they were missing – he didn't put a foot wrong all game, was always pressing and probing and making himself available, and generally strolled through the entire 90 mins, delivering a master class in control. What a fantastic acquisition he has proved to be - along with the rest of KJ's nuggets.
Only weak spot I could identify was at no 9 where Clarke (although clearly possessing great close control) seemed strangely out of sorts for a man with a hatful of goals already this season. If anything, he seems a bit lightweight. His attempted chip over the goalie at 2-0 when he was put clean through was extravagantly wasteful, and could have been costly had Sheff Utd not been totally strangled out of the game thereafter by our all-round superiority.
Ikeme was his normal masterful self – and his save in the second minute at point blank range was absolutely fantastic.
And so we move on - a welcome return to form after the Crawley aberration. Orient and Preston now dropping away, but Rotherham seem unstoppable at the moment – we need to put them in their place. A great reception from the travelling fans, today, and nice to see it so warmly reciprocated by the whole team at full time. Well done, everybody! Onwards and upwards.
Wolves Mick
Last time we drew and then lost - we followed up with 9 straight wins !! 1 Down 8 to go :-) Up The Wolves
Well done lads! Great win and well earned three points. Well played to Stears, Henry and Edwards in particular. We're heading in the right direction and hopefully we'll have no more blips like at Crawley, but that's football.
Roll on Tuesday night.
Doyler: it was great to hear the radio commentators saying how well Dave Edwards was playing, really pleased for him. Just hope he stays injury free to the end of the season.
So we did indeed 'rain on the Blades's parade' and put a dent in their anniversary celebrations. And to think that beforehand, I said that although I hoped for a win, I'd settle for a draw. I apologise for that. I'm pleased to see Edwards and Stearman are playing their parts - for me they are a link with my STH days, survivors from the past. UTW.
Great win!! I would have been pleased with a draw given their recent run. I was a bit dubious of the team selection with no Dicko & Sako but it paid dividends and all credit to Kenny Jackett. Shame Clarke missed that sitter but its three points and another clean sheet.
Onwards & upwards
Why did we play it that ridiculous kit????? Unless we are all colour blind where is the clash with red and white stripes and gold??
We used to play in gold shorts if they clashed and years ago (1970s) it didn't matter!
Don't know why we can't play in the white with something like a gold or black stripe along the shoulders and sleeves and shorts etc.
Stearmans overhead kick
Moaning about the strip? , Strips don't matter, It's the blokes inside em that matters. Who cares about the colour of the second strip? I don't, Would you have been happy to play in gold and black today and lost?
Re, Stearman's overhead kick.
That's a stupid remark mate! So you are saying we should change our kit from what has been our traditional colours for years??
What I'm saying is why change the kit when there ain't a clash.
Get a life pal!
Stearmans overhead kick
I have a life mate, I'm not the one moaning about a strip on the back of a very good away win, Look up Michael Palins Ripping yarns on you tube about shorts,And you will see you are the one that needs a life.
I was making a perfectly viable comment about playing in a ridiculous kit. You need to get a life pal for making a stupid comment.
And yes I do have a life but I don't watch crap!
It was a much, much sharper, less jaded team performance. The work rate was exceptional. It was very brave decision making by K.J. to include four different players into the starting line up, but their freshness added an extra zip to Wolves play. McDonald, much to the frustration of home supporters, showed them just what they had lost, and Edwards proved to me his value, and deserves to be part of things next season. My personal unsung hero is Golbourne, who, for one of small stature, is so solid in defence, so creative in his link up play, and rarely wastes a pass. He is so good that he rarely has to be mentioned, unlike his M.M. anointed predecessor, who was never a left back anyway. Roll on Tuesday.
Quite agree about Golboune - he rarely gets a mention solely because he is so exceptionally tidy and skilful, and his level of performance so consistently high, that his contribution goes virtually unnoticed. Aside from his terrier-like defending, he is a terrific outlet down the left side and is always looking to do something positive with the ball. Another of JK's great signings.
Derbyshire: couldn't agree more mate..
Golbourne has been an outstanding acquisition, with MacDonald marginally shading him..
I really hope that Edwards (and Stearman) are given new/ extended contracts next season, they both deserve them.
Stearmans overhead kick
Well sorted Kenny, And well done the lads, Beating the best in the division again, Let's finish the job now,
Sheffield United celebrating 125 years and the away end still had the original toilets !
chris h
Wingy. The fundamentals havn't changed in 125 years have they so why change a good thing.
Putza Shiftin
I was in the ground early and with all the big build up for the 125 year anniversary, I thought it would be a big challenge to come away with three points. Blades had roughly the same number of chances but when they looked like scoring, Karl Ikeme was at his best! We were probably the only club in the division capable of raining on their parade today and we had to work got it but never looked like anything but a Wolves win! Fantastic support again too!
After Ikeme's save in the first few minutes we never looked in any danger apart from the officials. A shocking one-side performance by the referee.
That was a superb win today, against a very good Blades side in their own back yard, it does not get any better than that in this league. We must win the league now, at the start of the season I never expected us to take six points off the Blades. Lets finish this magnificent season with an unbeaten run to the finish, you lads KJ and the whole coaching staff are the pride of Wolverhampton, long may it continue. COME ON WOLVES.
Bedford Wolf
9 more points in the next 10 days would be great - Colchester, MK Franchise and St Evenage will all get blown away by Kenny Jackett's barmy army!
Well done Wolves. So happy for you all.
Sorry I had to witness the glitch at Crawley Town
Normal service is resumed!
Class will out.
Up the Wolves !
Yes Wingy, Lindisfarne were having a good " wet on the wall" on a foggy Tyne over forty years ago If a wall's good enough, what does the age matter? A bit like that with people really (Im thinking of myself! )
grumppy grandad
Another great win keep it up lads UTW
Great performance, rubbish report, it's bloody way off the mark and rushed at the end!!!
Magnificent win, great effort getting back on track. No need to look back - come on, make my year! UTW
Bold move from KJ to leave 4 out - but what a fantastic decision - let's face it - the guy knows what he's doing! Great result - can't wait for Tuesday night! UTW
Congratulations Kenny , Sheffield probably expecting and prepared for same team ! You switched it and the depth of the squad came through for you, Great win UTW
P.S Congratulations to Chillowolf and your lady .
Chillo Wolf
Cheers pal
Top performance lads, blew away a side with their tails up just as we did to Brentford. No idea what went amiss midweek but KJ in control with the right answers as always.
20 clean sheets for the big fella and another towering performance today. Pity he can't take BF's seat on the plane in the summer. A very poor 4 cs's this season doesn't exactly fill you with confidence if, god forbid, we need a Hart transplant in Brazil.
KI for England
Who's KI ???? Doh! of course I meant CI
Well done Wolves and a special well done to our fabulous away support= should be some day out at MK Dons on Saturday.
Great win and one which they had to work hard for.A good psychological booster for Wolves too after the last two games.Hopefully they have managed to 'get the monkey off their back' early and go on now to win the Division one title.
rushall wolves
Well done Wolves and to Stears, who has apparently found his level! I think that you will find that since RJ left, his game & confidence has improved. Why knock somebody that is part of a defence that has conceded the least goals in all divisions? Please go and support some other team!
Well done Wolves & also to Walsall for holding Leyton Orient!
Super performance against an in form Sheffield side.Hopefully we can further capitalize on Tuesday night by beating colchester,and Rotherham can do us a favour by beating Brentford.Flying over on Friday for the Mk dons game,should be a cracking day out.
This was a big win after the dip of the last 2 games. it shows there is character in the team and that we do have a hungry squad. Jackett has been a master this season, doing automatic pretty much everything right. He is just the Manager WW need. Let's kick on again for automatic promotion. Jackett has now distanced us from the FAILURE squad of players who got us relegated twice. Now complete the job by getting rid of Johnson , O'Hara, Doyle and the others who can't even get on the subs bench. It is so nice that Moxey and Morgan have kept silent ........ keep up the good job boys.
Yes Chillo, my congratulations as well. I've just become a grandad to a Wolves cub and it's such a thrill. I'm sure it will be for you too.
Chillo Wolf
What to call him ... Stephen George? Kenny? Jack?
How about Roger or Jamie? hah maybe not
Wednesbury wolves
Chillo, here's an idea for a name, sir bill farmer ted john wolf bucks wolf sue chillington, after all the heroes on here, and may be jez and Steve somewhere in the middle, only a thought!!!!!
Chillo Wolf
Hah i shall give it some thought
See you at the Christening - I'll bring a bottle of sherry! UTW
A lively match which at times resembled a cup tie; meaty challenges, match-winning saves, a goal line clearance, bookings and of course goals. Great atmosphere, particularly in the Wolves end. Several players could deserve to be awarded the man of the match. Edwards, Jacobs, Henry and Stearman were for me, the stand out players, but more importantly it was the fact that all of the team contributed to the win.
The defence were again the basis of this victory. They restricted Utd to only a few real chances. Ikeme made two match winning saves, and Stearman was perfectly positioned to head a goal bond effort off the line.
Maybe the first goal had an element of luck about it. Most people in the Wolves end thought Edwards had scored it. The Blades goalkeeper should have done better even if he was distracted by Edwards. But our second goal was a superb effort. Jacobs pinpoint pass across the field to Henry who controlled it instantly and then crossed it into the middle for Edwards to make no mistake with a clean strike. A goal to savour.
This win puts us back on track for promotion and the title. Orient are faultering, so as I see it, Brentford are the only team that can now stop us winning the title.
Looking forward to Tuesday night against Colchester, and then it's a Jolly Boys outing to Milton Keynes.
Ye Olde South Bank
Yesterday, I think we learned something about the team's character, resolve and self-belief. A visit to Bramall Lane isn't the easiest task at the best of times, let alone when they've been in such scintillating form. To bounce back in such emphatic style after two disappointing results speaks volumes for their character. Very, very well done, boys. Proud of you all.
The question was asked last week concerning if KJ had a Plan B. Well, we got a resounding answer to that with some bold selections that paid off admirably. Not only can this squad play some highly attractive, cutting football, but they can dig in, too.
Twenty clean sheets? The bedrock for sustained success. Our defensive unit are doing a fine job, but perhaps Richard Stearman, more than most, deserves a special pat on the back. He's taken some flak over the years but has bounced back with some very assured displays. Fair play to the lad, I say.
This ones for you McD, Henry outstanding again, great team effort. Onward and upward
Dougan is king...
Lobo para siempre
I'd like to add my congratulations to all concerned on a great show. Good to see the much-maligned (in these posts) Edwards have a really good game. I think he is a class player.
I agree with the negative comments about the away strip - a sort of all-over blue rinse. Still, no doubt the shirt sponsors want their pound of flesh from the fans. But I look forward to the day when our kit resembles something like old gold and black. It was good enough home and away in the fifties. (Showing my age now!)
Change in comments from this time last year is spectacular, how a change of manager and a run at the top of league one can have such a positive effect on fans, even JIWAL has had good things to say! Keep it up in the champs my fellow family.
leicester wolf
that bald Russian or whatever guy got rid of Ronald Zubar who held his own for a while in the premiership , dimwit saunders loaned stearman to Ipswich last season , still think we might have stayed up if ebanks had not broken his leg so would like to see him again at m'neux , if Philips can still help Leicester at age of 40 , ebanks could still help us find the net , believe that ebanks was messed around by mmcthy and he never was given a fair chance in the premier league , interesting to see qpr have dropped doyle and henry after they both did not help their promotion bid , but mmcthy is playing the dreadful Stephen hunt who is messing up his play off bid , Leicester wolf
I thought we were dead when I saw the team selection. I'll have more faith in future in KJ - well done - a hard fought match and back to winning ways. Here's hoping we can continue on Tuesday and start to consolidate an automatic promotion place.
Even though we may be in different leagues, defeats for WBA, Brum and the hammering that Villa had today it proves that Wolves are still the BEST team in the West Midlands. See you next season WBA and Brum. That's an easy 12 points on our way to the Premiership.
leicester wolf
on the karl henry debate what is unarguable is that while lampard banged in over 200 goals at the top level for Chelsea , karl banged in 1 (or was it 2 counting a cup reply v crystal palace) over at least 5 seasons , truly appalling for a midfield player , even gerrard playing in a defensive role for l'pool this season has a respectable 10 goals to his name ; former midfielders alex rae and paul ince scored a few a piece but they were not prolific goal scorers either and neither was Paul Cook before them and so if young Michael Jacobs could develope into a goal scoring midfielder , that would be great ; henry captained the side that went up but it was the goals of SEB that actualy got us up .
When Dean Saunders took over , he announced oddly that our squad was too big , loaned out stearman and others , had some injures and then frantically tried to get in loanees from other clubs such as casper gorkes from reading - hopeless !
No Len he's just been hiding in the bogs with Pep Mel since his little faux pas rant about Swan the other day and the guff he came out with about "the battle of Bramall Lane".
Sure he'll be back soon when the dust settles. lol
dont worry about jack, he's alright! he was on the (light side as he calls it) this morning laughing!!! about how wolves were complaining about the big club syndrome and getting a fine from the F.A.) for getting 5 players booked in the same game. all that in the div 3(as he calls it) actually jack it is league one.
as for the battle at bramall lane, they were 11 unbeaten and then wwfc turned up.
Great result from the lads. And a big well done to Wolves fantastic away support.
Jack the Hat
Six yellow cards for wolves players and not one mentioned in this match report, talk about being biased. Wack 'um for it F.A..

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:45 PM GMT on August 06, 2010
A reborn Tropical Storm Colin is taking aim at Bermuda, and should bring tropical storm force winds to the island by Saturday afternoon. Colin continues to pass through an unfavorable environment for development--an upper-level low pressure system with dry air and high wind shear. High wind shear of 20 - 25 knots has exposed the surface circulation to view, as seen in recent satellite imagery. Colin's heavy thunderstorm activity is all on the east side of the storm, and the associated rains can now be seen approaching the island on Bermuda radar.
Forecast for Colin
The latest SHIPS model forecast predicts that wind shear will drop to the low to moderate range, 5 - 15 knots, tonight through Saturday afternoon. This relaxation of shear prompts the intensity models to predict that Colin will strengthen to a 50 - 70 mph tropical storm by Sunday. With the forecast path of the storm predicted to take Colin just west of Bermuda, the island will be in the strong right front quadrant of the storm, and may see wind gusts in excess of hurricane force, 74 mph. After its encounter with Bermuda, Colin will head towards Newfoundland, and it is possible the storm could bring tropical storm force winds to the island on Monday. However, wind shear will be on the increase again beginning Saturday night, and it is unlikely Colin will be a hurricane when it makes it closest approach to Newfoundland.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Colin.
A tropical wave (Invest 93) about 700 miles west of the Cape Verdes Islands off the coast of Africa is moving northwest at 10 mph. Wind shear is a moderate 10 - 20 knots over 93L, which is low enough to allow some slow development. This system currently does not appear to be a concern to any land areas over the next seven days. NHC is giving a 40% chance of this disturbance developing into a tropical depression by Sunday morning. The GFS and NOGAPS models predict 93L will become a tropical depression.
Figure 2. Smoke from fires in Russia on August 4 covers an area over 3,000 km (1860 miles) across. If the smoke were in the United States, it would extend approximately from San Francisco to Chicago. Visibility in Moscow dropped to 20 meters (0.01 miles) on August 4, and health officials warned that everyone, including healthy people, needed to take preventative measures such as staying indoors or wearing a mask outdoors.

The Great Russian Heat Wave of 2010 continues
One of the most remarkable weather events of my lifetime is unfolding this summer in Russia, where an unprecedented heat wave has brought another day of 102°F heat to the nation's capital. At 3:30 pm local time today, the mercury hit 39°C (102.2°F) at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport. Moscow had never recorded a temperature exceeding 100°F prior to this year, and today marks the second time the city has beaten the 100°F mark. The first time was on July 29, when the Moscow observatory recorded 100.8°C and Baltschug, another official downtown Moscow weather site, hit an astonishing 102.2°F (39.0°C). Prior to this year, the hottest temperature in Moscow's history was 37.2°C (99°F), set in August 1920. The Moscow Observatory has now matched or exceeded this 1920 all-time record five times in the past eleven days, including today. The 2010 average July temperature in Moscow was 7.8°C (14°F) above normal, smashing the previous record for hottest July, set in 1938 (5.3°C above normal.) July 2010 also set the record for most July days in excess of 30°C--twenty-two. The previous record was 13 such days, set in July 1972. The past 24 days in a row have exceeded 30°C in Moscow, and there is no relief in sight--the latest forecast for Moscow calls for high temperatures near 100°F (37.8°C) for the next seven days. It is stunning to me that the country whose famous winters stopped the armies of Napoleon and Hitler is experiencing day after day of heat near 100°F, with no end in sight.
Thousands of deaths, severe fires, and the threat of radioactive contamination
The extreme heat has led to thousands of premature deaths in Russia. According to Yevgenia Smirnova, an official from the Moscow registry office, "We recorded 14,340 deaths in Moscow in July, that is 4,824 deaths more than in July, 2009." Undoubtedly thousands of additional premature deaths have occurred in the rest of Russia as a result of the heat. The heat has also caused the worst drought conditions in European Russia in a half-century, prompting the Russian government to suspend wheat exports. The drought has caused extreme fire danger over most of European Russia (Figure 3), and fires in Russia have killed at least 50 people in the past week and leveled thousands of homes. The fires are the worst since 1972, when massive forest and peat bog fires burned an area of 100,000 square km and killed at 104 people in the Moscow region alone. Smoke from the current fires spans a region over 3,000 km (1,860 miles) from east to west, approximately the distance from San Francisco to Chicago. Dozens of flights were canceled at Moscow's airports today, thanks to visibilities of 300 meters in smoke. Also of concern is fires that have hit the Bryansk region of western Russia, which suffered radioactive contamination from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in nearby Ukraine. There are fears that fires may burn through the contaminated area, releasing harmful radiation into the atmosphere.
Figure 3. Fire danger in Russia for August 5, 2010. Extreme fire danger (Category 5, red colors) was seen over much of the European portion of Russia. Image credit: Hydrometcentre, Russia.
Why has Russia's heat wave been so long and intense?
Dr. Rob Carver has done a detailed analysis of the remarkable Russian heat wave in his latest post, The Great Russian Heat Wave of July 2010. A persistent jet stream pattern has set up over Europe, thanks to a phenomena known as blocking. A ridge of high pressure has remained anchored over Russia, and the hot and dry conditions have created helped intensify this ridge in a positive feedback loop. As a result, soil moisture in some portions of European Russia has dropped to levels one would expect only once every 500 years.
Next update
I'll have an update on Saturday morning.

Post Graduate Fellowships in Public Interest Law
In 1998, the faculty voted to establish two post graduate public interest fellowships. In 2008, the Law School increased the number of post graduate public interest fellowships to be awarded from two to three. These are two-year fellowships, with full salary funding the first year. Loyola Law School post graduate fellowships in public interest law are designed to promote the following goals:
- To provide legal services to underrepresented groups that have traditionally lacked full access to legal services. Social justice, human rights, civil rights and environmental groups are among those included.
- To create new public interest law positions to assist our students in getting their first public interest jobs and to have these positions, then funded by the agencies, in effect creating additional resources.
- To encourage and develop a diverse and qualified group of future public interest lawyers and leaders to ensure the future of public interest law.

Pearly Wisdom
Ocean Acidification
Student Exploration
Are pearls a thing of the past?
Oyster farmers have noticed major increases in the mortality rates of oyster larvae and have attributed this drop-off to high levels of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the seawater. Check it out: http://e360.yale.edu/feature/northwest_oyster_die-offs_show_ocean_acidification_has_arrived/2466/
This data adds to the already running debate regarding the effect of ocean acidification on corals: Whither the Coral Reefs?
What do you think? Do you see a correlation between the increase in dissolved carbon dioxide gas in the oceans and the survival rates of oysters and corals? Is there enough data to support the thinking that the increase in carbon dioxide in the oceans directly caused the collapse of the corals and oysters?
Extension Investigation
1. For a deeper look into the ocean acidification process take a look at this diagram that shows the chemical process that takes place as atmospheric carbon dioxide is absorbed into the ocean :
As the level of carbon dioxide increases, what happens to the amount of calcium carbonate? Create a visual model that shows this cause and effect relationship.
For additional information about this process, check out this booklet: Starting With Science
2. Compare our understanding of ocean circulation as a conveyor belt (http://youtu.be/3niR_-Kv4SM) to the animation below of the past, current, and projected future ocean acidification:
- http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/OA+Educational+Tools
- http://sos.noaa.gov/Datasets/dataset.php?id=174
Describe three similarities that you notice between global ocean circulation and global ocean acidification. Can you think of a reason for these similarities?
3. Scientists know that dramatic influxes of carbon dioxide in the past have led to mass extinctions and are curious about the current marine life's response to the rapid increase in carbon dioxide levels. In the summer of 2011, oceanographers and biologists studied marine life off of the coast of Norway: The Chemical Ocean Acid Test
For further information, here is an interview of a marine scientist from the University of Plymouth, Dr. Hall-Spencer: http://oceanacidification.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/sin-podcast-jason-hall-spencer-on-ocean-acidification-audio/
4. Are there other ingredients in the ocean that could also be playing a factor? Geotraces is an international organization that collects data on ocean chemistry to learn more about the past, present, and future of the oceans. Here is an interview of research being done: Elements in the Ocean
Here is a link to current research findings: Science Highlights
