|ZETEC Performance (2000-2004) The place to chat about any 2.0L Zetec engine performance, tuning and exhaust related upgrades.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the advise iminhell, that helps me decide weather to keep them or not...i was just worried that if i put these on the car that i would screw something up really bad, i would like to have these set up for the best results, but without a dyno i wont get those results which sucks. I wish there was a how to that gave a better step by step
You can run the gears in any location you want with no damage. [b]But it is the best idea to turn the engine clockwise by hand after major adjustments to make sure nothing's binding.
Loosen the 5 bolts, use the center bolt to move the cam gear and hold it in place if need be, tighten all 5 lock bolts, then go back over then a second time to make sure you tightened them.
The bolts don't need to be gorilla TQ'd. Nice and snug is all you need, best guess, about 20 ft/lbs.
Over-tightening them will result in stripping the threads. And FWIW, 2 bolts still holds the gear in place,,, ya, I've stripped a few
|i just wish that i knew of a dyno around my area or in maine that i could get on
|Dyno tuning them means going to a place that has a dyno and running the car to get a base line. Then adj the cam gears a little then make some more pulls. You keep doing this over and over till you find the optimal settings. Should take less than an hour. Most shops charge hourly for dyno time. Cam gears would be a good step in the right direction with all the mods you have now. With my cam gears dialed in on my stock cams I gain power everywhere. My car used to fall on it's face after 5k rpm to rev limiter, after the tuning I could pull all the way. But the over all power band was much broader with tq everywhere. Really made the car a lot more fun to drive.
im still lost on the whole how to actually tune them though. i mean i know you guys said to get them dyno tuned for best results.
what if i dont have a dyno to adj them correctly?
would i just be screwing myself in the long run if i just took the stocks off and threw these on and tried adj them that way?
with the 5 bolt design do you loosen them up move the gear then tighten them again?
im just such a noob when it comes to the tech stuff, i mean i could throw parts on this car all day and not have any idea how they work or how to use them.
for mods as of right now i have:
svt header
ebay CAI w/ K&N filter
65mm CFM TB
full 3" from ORP back magnaflow exhaust with high flow cat and res
pretty much a race tranny w/ 406 gears-LSD-LW flywheel w/ some stg2 clutch
svt brake kit front and back
toms tune which included egr delete, rev limiter increase, and some others maybe idk
soon to come will be wide band A/F gauge
maybe a short throw shifter
so its not like the car is no stock by any means i just would maybe like a little more out of this thing before i kill it lol, but idk how to do this
I have seen the cam timing vary a good amount as sleepyboy noted on the zetec engines. It does help a vehicle with stock camshafts if it off a good amount from factory. The article noted by sleepyboy shows a good example of how much cam gears can help by, which is a good amount.
Adjustable cam gears are a most for anyone look into aftermarket camshafts. There any many companies back in the day that used to offer cam gears for these cars. We are one of the few that still do. Link to cam gears
My turn to add my cent's
I had adj. cam gears on my stock cams with fantastic results after dyno tuning. With my butt dyno I was way way way off. Also you can't just say put the exhaust cam to this and the intake cam set to this. It doesn't work that way on a zetec, maybe a honda where the cam gears are indexed to the cam with key ways. On a zetec the timing can vary greatly between motors. Here is a link to Sport Compact Car's project focus they had way back in the day when they were around HERE. You can see that the gains from the cam gears and other mods. In my opinion cam gears are worth it, but only worth it if you get them dyno tuned. Now if I can only afford to get my cams I have now dyno tuned again
A dyno tune isn't the best option either.
With no changes at all I've made up to 5hp difference with my car on a dyno doing back to back runs.
The 0-100hp differences you see in dyno's can easily be attributed to error, or margin of error.
It's something that has to be taken into account at all times.
You're right this was my advise..
Please quite posting that engine picture with every post you make.
Cam degrees/bold text - Vs what?
All and I really mean all of the dyno's, literature and talks about what cam time makes the best power or move what to where are purely opinion.
It's well known that mechanical variance from the factory can result in cam timing being off slightly from the factory. And to illustrate what kind of tolerances I'm talking:
Crankshaft Degree - Piston Movement in Inches
1° ....................... 0.000349"
2° ....................... 0.001396"
3° ....................... 0.003141"
4° ....................... 0.005582"
5° ....................... 0.008719"
Now keep in mind that 1 crankshaft degree is equal to 1/2 a camshaft degree. Or in other words, on an assembled engine if the cam timing is off 2° it will result in the piston being 0.000349" off where it should be.
The numbers make it look trivial but when at speed everything matters. Variances are compounded as piston speed changes throughout the stroke.
What I am saying is that W/O there being a set standard for factory timing alignment there is no way to advise someone on what is best practice for cam timing.
Now if we had factory cam gears that had pins locking the cam gears in place we could say '+2 intake and -3 exhaust will make more power above 4,000 rpm'.

Beaches of Hawaii Island
Hawaii Island features some of the most picturesque and varied beach landscapes in the islands. Here you'll find not just white sand beaches but black sand and green sand beaches with olivine crystals. And along with beautiful resort beaches, Hawaii Island also has rugged, off-the-beaten-path sands that are wild, remote and rewarding.
Hamakua Coast Beaches
Kolekole Beach Park: Twelve miles north of Hilo on the Hamakua Coast you'll find this jungle garden by the ocean, with a nearby stream lined with smooth lava rocks and a waterfall. A banyan tree leans over the river with a rope swing.
Hilo Beaches
Onekahakaha Beach Park: A favorite with locals, this small, shallow sand-bottomed ocean pool just east of the Hilo Airport is one the safest swimming areas along the Hilo coast, with tide pools and inlets. Perfect for family snorkeling, it also offers lovely views of Hilo Bay.
Richardson Ocean Center/Lelewi Beach Park: The shallow bay fronting Richardson Ocean Center is the most popular snorkeling site on the east side of the island. The center, which is two miles south down Kalanianaole Avenue from Onekahakaha Beach, has picnic pavilions, restrooms, parking and showers.
Kau Beaches
Punaluu Black Sand Beach: 30 miles south of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is Hawaii Island's famous black sand beach and a great place to see honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) basking on the shore. An adjacent campground is popular with local families and fisherman.
Kohala Coast Beaches
Anaehoomalu Beach: This stretch of Kohala Coast beach next to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott is a place to rent kayaks, hydro bikes and body boards or to snorkel, scuba dive or sunbathe. There is ample parking, along with picnic facilities and restrooms. A historic Hawaiian fishpond also hugs the beach.
Hapuna Beach: The largest white sand beach on Hawaii Island, this world-renowned beach is located adjacent to the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. There is ample parking with restroom and picnic facilities.
Holoholokai Beach: This small beach park with full facilities near the Fairmont Orchid Hawaii isn't a sandy beach, but it's a beautiful place to explore tide pools and snorkel. It's a short walk from the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve, where you'll find hundreds of ancient carvings in the lava rock.
Kaunaoa Beach: This near-perfect crescent of sand leading to calm water has been voted among the Top 10 beaches in the U.S. by Conde Nast's Traveler magazine. Adjacent to the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, parking spaces are limited, so it's good to arrive early.
Kona Beaches
Kahaluu Beach: Located just south of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) in the Keauhou area, Kahaluu Beach is known for honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) that frequent its shores. This is one of the Keauhou and Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) area's most popular beaches, great for snorkeling.
Laalao Beach: Also known as Disappearing Sands and Magic Sands, this white sand Kona beach is located on Alii Drive just south of Historic Kailua Village.This popular pocket of sand is great for splashing in the surf, body-surfing and body-boarding. There are restrooms, showers and a lifeguard, but limited parking. This small beach may disappear overnight due to tidal shifts or strong surf, but always returns.
North Kohala Beaches
Samuel Spencer Beach Park: Popular among families, this North Kohala beach, located a half-hour north of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona), is well protected by an outside reef, which allows for calm swimming and snorkeling waters on most days. The beach park has picnic pavilions, tables and barbeque grills and is within walking distance of Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site.
Note: Heed all warning signs and be aware of changing conditions, strong currents and reefs. Use your own best judgment to determine whether a particular beach is appropriate for you and your ability level.

HP Notes: Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008
Irish-based Winchester, a Grade I stakes winner for trainer Dermot Weld, worked an easy five furlongs on turf Thursday at Hollywood Park in preparation for the $500,000 Hollywood Derby on Nov. 30.
"We just wanted him to get a feel of it," said assistant Jeff Byrne after the drill under Thomas Daly, another assistant. The 3-year-old colt was shipped here Friday from Santa Anita after finishing seventh in the Breeders' Cup' Turf on Oct. 25.
Winchester worked a couple of lengths off Towzee from the Paddy Gallagher barn where both are stabled. "We don't go fast; it's a different system," explained Byrne, satisfied with the drill. Winchester was clocked in 1:04.80 breezing.
"It's been a lucky track for us," said Byrne, an assistant to Weld for 20 years. "I've been here with Dress to Thrill when she won The Matriarch (2002) and a couple of American Oaks fillies."
A Virginia-bred son of Theatrical owned and bred by Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Firestone, Winchester began his career in Ireland, breaking his maiden in April and finishing seventh in the Irish Derby in June. He shipped to the United States to win the Grade I Secretariat Stakes at Arlington Park in August by 7 ½ lengths.
"I think the mile and a quarter should suit him better than the mile and a half," said Byrne of the distance of the Grade I Hollywood Derby in comparison to the Breeders' Cup. "He was in a tough spot against older horses in the Breeders' Cup, but I couldn't be happier with him now.
"He's a pretty straightforward horse, sound, no problems, with a really good constitution and a great appetite," continued Byrne. "Not sending him home and keeping him here should help."
Winchester must be supplemented to the race for $10,000.
Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel, making his first appearance of the meet at Hollywood Park Thursday, said defending champion Precious Kitten and at least one other horse would start in the $500,000 Matriarch on Nov. 30. The Grade I test is for fillies and mares at one mile on turf.
Frankel, spending most of the meet with a larger division at Santa Anita, watched several horses exercise on the track from a division overseen by assistant Sally Lundy.
"Precious Kitten, Visit, maybe Ventura," said Frankel when asked about candidates for a race he was won a record eight times, including the last four.
Precious Kitten seeks to become only the second horse to win The Matriarch more than once in its 27-year history. Champion Flawlessly won it three straight times from 1991-93.
Precious Kitten comes off a fourth-place finish against males in the Breeders' Cup Mile. The 5-year-old mare won the Grade I Gamely Stakes here in May. She has recorded eight firsts and nine seconds in 24 starts.
Visit, a Juddmonte Farms homebred from England, joined the Frankel barn after finishing fourth in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf for Sir Michael Stoute.
Ventura, another Juddmonte homebred, finished second by a nose in the CashCall Mile here in July and comes off an impressive win in the seven-furlong Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint.
Frankel also said Fifteen Love and Midships, a pair of Juddmonte colts from Europe training at Santa Anita, are under consideration for the $500,000 Hollywood Derby the same day. He has won that race three times, one less than leader Charlie Whittingham.
Frankel added that he had not made a decision in the $400,000 Citation Handicap on Nov. 28, a race in which he nominated Mast Track, Out of Control, Proudinsky, Storm Military and Tybalt. The Grade I test is at 1 1/16 miles on turf.
The three races headline the six-race Turf Festival Nov. 28-30. Frankel is the runaway leader in Turf Festival victories with 17.
Victory Pete, a third-place finisher in two Santa Anita 3-year-old stakes before going to the sidelines, neared a return to the races after working a mile on turf in 1:43.20 under exercise rider Paddy Dalton.
"He's close to a comeback; I'm looking at the next book," said trainer Alexis Barba. "He finished third in the California Derby and was third in the Sham Stakes behind Colonel John and El Gato Malo. I sent him to Oaklawn for the Arkansas Derby but he hurt his foot a day before the race and was scratched."
Stakes-winning El Gato Malo, also on the comeback trail, worked four furlongs on Cushion Track in :48.60 for trainer Craig Dollase.
Artiste Royal, unraced since winning the Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap here in June, worked seven furlongs in 1:30 on turf Thursday in company with Obrigado, also on the comeback, for trainer Neil Drysdale.
"He has come back from a minor setback after the Whittingham," said Drysdale of the 7-year-old veteran he is pointing to the $250,000 Hollywood Turf Cup on Dec. 6.
Drysdale said Obrigado and Cedar Mountain, who worked four furlongs on grass in :51, are also under consideration for the Turf Cup, a Grade I test at 1 ½ miles on turf. Cedar Mountain finished sixth in the Breeders' Cup Marathon.
FINISH LINES — Owner Jerry Moss was a visitor to the John Shirreffs stable Thursday and watched Neko Bay exercise on the main track. Moss said he still had not come back to earth from unbeaten Zenyatta's victory in the Breeders' Cup Ladies Classic on Oct. 24 at Santa Anita. "We're still up there somewhere," said Moss with a smile…Nobutaka Tada, racing manager for Casino Drive, said the 3-year-old colt and stablemate Champagne Squall would be flown back to Japan Sunday. Casino Drive, unbeaten in three previous starts, faded to last in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Champagne Squall was unplaced in a maiden race on turf here Wednesday…Friday racing shifts under the lights this week with a 7:05 p.m. post. Night racing will continue the following two Fridays, Nov. 14 and 21, before returning to matinees the final four Fridays, Nov. 28 and Dec. 5, 12 and 19.

Canisius women's lacrosse incoming freshman Rebecca Van Laeken played 25 minutes in goal and helped the North All-American Girls team to an 18-11 victory over the South squad in the 2014 Under Armour All-America Classic July 12, in Towson Md. Van Laeken, who was credited with the win in goal, is the first Canisius player to be honored as an Under Armour High School All-American.
The Canandaigua, N.Y., native was one of four net minders to be named to the Under Armour All-America team. She played for the varsity girls lacrosse team at Canandaigua and she is also the goaltender for the Relentless Hustle club team, based out of Rochester, N.Y. That team won the Club Lacrosse National Championship in 2013.
Van Laeken is one of 10 incoming freshmen that Canisius head coach Scott Teeter will add to his roster for the 2015 campaign. Canisius, the four-time defending MAAC champion, returns 21 letterwinners from the 2014 squad that went 12-7 overall and 6-2 in MAAC play. The Golden Griffins saw their season end May 9, with a 9-4 loss to Pennsylvania in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse Championship.

text: Ed Reform ALERT Important update: New version of ed reform bill to be released on Friday Please contact your legislators now! The Senate Ways and Means Committee will release another draft of legislation that deals with underperforming schools, innovation schools and charter schools on Friday November 13. The MTA has been working with legislators to ensure that collective bargaining rights are protected and dismissal procedures are fair in schools that are designated as underperforming. The bill as currently drafted does not provide for those protections in schools designated to be underperforming. It says that if, after consulting with stakeholders, a school superintendent believes there are provisions in the union contract that stand in the way of bringing about rapid academic achievement in the school, the superintendent may propose changing those provisions. If, after a truncated period of time to negotiate with the union, there is no agreement, the superintendent would have the power to unilaterally implement his or her last best offer. The superintendent could also dismiss the principal and faculty. It is urgent that you contact your legislators right away and support the MTA's proposed changes to this legislation. Please make the following points: MTA has proposed reinstating current law, which provides for a "good cause" standard for termination. Only through such a standard will educators receive fair treatment. The MTA has proposed that if an agreement cannot be reached between the superintendent and the union concerning changes in the contract, the dispute would go to final and binding arbitration. This would be a rapid mechanism that would not impede turning around an underperforming school and would create a successful process. Collaboration and respect among all stakeholders are essential for creating good schools. Giving a superintendent the power to waive provisions in the contract and terminate faculty and staff does nothing to foster trust, respect and collaboration. It would allow high-quality teachers to be forced out and would set the clock back on nepotism and other problems that union contracts have helped address. Underperforming schools must be able to attract and retain highly qualified teachers. Teachers are going to be unwilling to teach in these schools if there are no job protections. This will doom the process to failure and will ill-serve students in underperforming schools. Please contact your legislators and urge them to improve this legislation as the MTA proposes.

Thats what we do.
I used to homeschool, so the school district wasn't an issue at all.
Now I'm a single mom, and can't homeschool. I also have a child with a severe learning disability. We live in the town with the best program for her LD, and it's a great school system for my younger 2 daughters, too. We live in a tiny house in order to afford to have my kids in this awesome school district, but it's worth it.
My job is in this town, so that's why I live where I do. My daughter goes to the public school. I have absolutely no desire to home-school and any private schools are religious based and 10+ miles away. Living in a small town, there aren't the opportunities that bigger schools offer, but the trade-off is small class size. There are less than 35 kids in my daughters grade and they divide them between 2 classes. The small towns in this area really should consolidate schools. We already consolidate on most sports and they did a consolidation study several years ago, so I'm not sure what the hold-up is.
Looks like quite a few of us fall into this category.
I have LD kids and I'm LD myself so I can usually tell when they are faking a difficulty or really having trouble.
Better for one on one time and help whenever they need it, and the public schools here just aren't up to the task.
We bought our house partly based on the schools here. However, the actual system in our town is so funky. Our "resides" school is one of the best in town, but there was only a 40% chance that our first child would get into that school. We had to pick 4 options, 2 from a list of close, good schools and 2 from a list of underscoring schools in distant parts of the city. Thankfully, we got the "resides" school, but that's never a guarantee here. (Home school has never been an option for me.)
A strong school district is what buoys your home value. Regardless of if you have kids or not, shoot for the nice district.
We keep looking at moving. We have a very nice public charter school here and it's a perfect solution (or near enough to) until 7th grade when all the options evaporate. The first thing I ask when we consider a new town is where are the good schools, then the jobs, how far are they, then recycling and public transit. Yeah, we are still here. . . we have a few more years Ver1 is only a 2nd grader.
Also a home schooler. The district was a minor factor as my kids started High School in public school.
We also home school. The biggest factor in purchasing our house was the price. The convenient location to major roads was also a huge factor because my husband has to drive all over to job sites. The high school district is decent, but the quality of education in Florida is so low, that doesn't really say much.
This :-)
Within our school district you can transfer your kid to any school you want - they don't have to go to your neighborhood one. But it doesn't matter for us since we homeschool. Additionally we also own another house in another (better) school district so that our kids can go to a school in that one if we want them to.

Retronauts has a long history of being very grumpy about Virtual Console and other classic game rerelease platforms. We have, shall we say, a philosophical disagreement with Nintendo (and other platform holders) about how game history should be preserved and commoditized. They say "slow-feed a la carte drip at premium prices," we say "exhaustive catalog similar to iTunes."
Some traditions are worth keeping alive, which is why I'm kicking off Virtual Chronicles: An ongoing look at Virtual Console, PSN, Good Old Games, and whatever other means by which companies try to sell us old games yet again. In light of Nintendo's recent addition of VC to the Wii U system, it all seems almost relevant again.
Honestly, while I'm not crazy about the glacial pace at which the Wii U VC is already proceeding, I do think the new system is probably the most interesting thing to happen to reissued games in a long time. Yes, games are distorted and fuzzy on the GamePad's screen; yes, it's infuriating that all the VC games we bought on Wii have to be played through the Wii emulation shell rather than as native apps until they show up on the Wii U shop. Nevertheless, I'm all in favor of the Wii U Virtual Console… and I really hope the system bucks its downward momentum and manages to stick around long enough to deliver on its potential.
Wii U's game changer, not surprisingly, is the Miiverse integration that comes part and parcel of every game that launches on the system, including VC releases. You might even be able to convince me that Miiverse integration makes the agonizing trickle of VC rereleases worth the wait.
Sure, Miiverse is basically just an integrated message board built into the system… but that's OK. The addition of Miiverse to these games suddenly makes them social in a way that even Let's Plays can't accomplish: Videos are a broadcast, but Miiverse creates a conversation. People get to brag about their accomplishments, lament the tough parts, show off their scores, gush about their favorite parts, show off weird glitches, and more. For people like me, who take any excuse to draw dumb doodles, it provides a welcome excuse to do precisely that —
— which has helped turn my umpteenth playthrough of Mega Man into a different experience than I've ever had with the game. Anything that can freshen up a game you've been playing for 25 years and know inside and out has to be doing something right.
Of course, you can do these things on any forum, but the fact that this feature is integrated into each game and allows instant screenshot posts makes Miiverse by far the most convenient and most centralized format for this kind of socialization. I also find the level of haughty arrogance on Miiverse to be considerably lower than on most classic gaming-oriented social venues; people are goofing around and sharing their amusement with very little pretense, and it's a nice change of pace from the usual Internet snark.
It's a shame people are being slammed for using Miiverse the way it's intended by people who apparently have forgotten that we all start our gaming careers as fairly clueless individuals. Gaming communities have evolved over the years from small knots of kids sharing secrets in the school yard or after church (or whatever) into a decentralized network of tuned-in players. Where some laugh mockingly at the "Y KANT METROID CRAWL" meme, I think it's fantastic. I remember being baffled by games occasionally (e.g. the completely undocumented second menu of adventure scene items you need to access to complete The Goonies II) and back in the day hitting that kind of wall meant you'd have to cool your heels for months or hope you got lucky and stumble into an answer. Now, you can simply suck up your pride and ask for help from people who are playing the game alongside you. I can think of plenty of times Miiverse would have come in handy during the 8- and 16-bit era….
Plus, "Y KANT METROID CRAWL" prompted me to give the album Y KAN'T TORI READ for the first time in 15 years, and you know? Some of those songs are pretty good. So consider this a double victory for Miiverse.

FHP: Pig causes crash in Collier County
Published: Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 5:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 2, 2012 at 5:59 p.m.
FORT MYERS — The Florida Highway Patrol says a pig is responsible for causing a series of car accidents in Collier County and injuring nearly a dozen people.
An FHP report says 24-year-old Gabriela Resendiz struck a pig Saturday night that was in the middle of the road. Several other cars collided with her vehicle, injuring nearly a dozen other drivers and passengers.
Resendiz was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. Two others — including an infant — also received serious injuries. The FHP report says the other injuries were minor.
Charges were not immediately filed. FHP has not said where the pig came from.

I asked why? - Because ordinary Englishman cannot do according good advice. He must do it with own way.Canada accepted the Varroa Group advices last year, 10 years later than Europe. Why, - who knows. America wants to do its own researches and they do not want to know about EU Varroa Group results. When guys here advice "do nothing", all say HIP HURRAY and no one ask why

Now let me ask for your opinions about oxalic acid vaporizers. Is that method better or worse for killing mites? To me, it seems like dribbling would be MUCH safer to the bee keeper and the acid concentrations in dribbling are pretty low, that is what I find more appealing.

I stand by my numbers till the Swedish beekeeping society revises them.
Because it works with the recommended dosage levels I don't think we need to change the dosage at this time.mvh edward :-P
Formic acid treatment was very hard on my bee population this last fall. The major difficulty was timing treatment with the recommended temperature range. I was looking for something softer. It appears that oxalic acid is the ticket. If I understand all that I have read it would seen that trickling is best in fall, when broodless, and vaporization in spring over a three week time spread.Is this a correct statement?
It is my understanding that trickling more than one time can do damage to the bees,
There is no need to do 2 trickling inside short time.But that knowledge "only one treatment" is old knowledge.Many in Finland do one treatment in October and another in March after cleansing flight.
That is what I was referring to, more than 1 treatment in a short period of time. ie. poorly trickling or when bees aren't clustered and not getting the expected results.

Gout may be suspected based on symptoms and medical history. Because there are several joint disorders with similar symptoms, other tests may be done to rule them out.
A standard test for gout is arthrocentesis. A needle is inserted into a joint or tophus and a fluid sample is removed. The fluid is evaluated under a microscope to look for uric acid crystals. Uric acid crystals are present in nearly all cases of gout.
Blood tests may also be done to measure the level of uric acid crystals in the blood. Blood tests are also useful to rule out other joint conditions.
Imaging tests evaluate the joint and surrounding structures. These may include:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
For race 5 minute count-down we always use B&G H2000 timer. It's very easy to re-synchronise it on 4 or 3 minutes left, if You missed 5 minute signal.
During the race we tend to compare time differences between main competitors in each mark we can. In this case I use my waterproof Samsung B2100 cellphone't stopwatch function. It has function to measure many "laptimes" in order to compare you against nearest competitors.
David, I also swear by a $10 kitchen timer from any dollar store or kitchen supply. Runs a couple of years on a AA battery, makes a loud beep, has a big display, and stays in the galley when it is not abovedecks doing race timing.
You CAN actually find some that will count down and then count UP again to keep track of the race duration. But for the price, and being "hands free", and visible to everyone in the cockpit...sure is hard to beat. And cheap enough to make a gift to the skipper of it.(G)
|Whatever you get, keep it cheap, and make sure it has a sync function. The sync function is exremely useful. buttons on the top are prefered over side buttons, gloves tend to trigger side buttons.
I have a Ronstan Clearstart RF4031. There are (I think) 4 watches in this series. I read the manuals for each one, and I don't see any functional difference. The only exception would be the huge one, which is probably best mounted somewhere, as others have said. Other than that, I think the differences are what the band and/or case is made from. Mine is the cheapest at about $50.
I think this is a better tool than a regular timer, mostly because it has a sync button. This button allows you to sync the countdown with the race committee. So if you miss the first gun by a few seconds, you can sync it a minute later.
It also knows the 5,4 1, GO sequence, and makes all the different sounds at various times. But, I don't think its loud enough. I would like it to be MUCH louder.
Its also nice that it will start counting up after it hits zero int he count down, but it will only count up to an hour. So if the race is less than an hour, its useful. I'm not sure if it will wrap around to 0 as it counts up past the hour.
So, in my club race I am in class B, we're the second start in a 5,4,1, GO sequence. I can set it to count down from 10 minutes and then to start counting up.
As for the skipper not keeping the time himself, probably a good move. I dedicate a time keeper for this task. As for not knowing when the starting gun is going to fire (or the shape dropped - the real signal) well you just can't have that.
Thanks for the website. I should have known about this YEARS ago, and I feel a little lazy for not investigating time more thoroughly in the past.
My vote is for a good watch with racing timer. But I find it hard to believe a boat of that size does not have instrumentation and a timer built into one of those. I have yet to race on a boat from 20 feet up without a timer built into the boat. If there is any instruments on board ask to see the manual and read up on it. Chances are there are functions on them no one on the boat know about, or at least you will know the fastest combination of button pushing to get to the functions.
I had bought the Citizen Stars and stripes watch way back when I started racing. I got it for only $100. It served me well over the years but got very beat up(the crystal and paint), and almost lost over the years. If you position is ever outside the cockpit, I suggest you not risk wearing a watch, you will loose it.
I currently wear a Casio watch which I highly recommend. I do not have the sailing one but looked at it very closely, just chose a different model for my other activities.
GPS, UTC, and TAI Clocks
Any watch that has a racing or yachting timer would be worth it IMHO though. It will beep off each minute then every 10 seconds the last minute, 5 beeps for 50 seconds, 4 for 40 and on down then a beep each of the last 10 seconds. After the countdown finishes it will go into timer mode so you can time your course time then use the split timer function after finishing to see by how much you beat the boats behind you to see if they corrected over you or not. All these functions allows you to man your position and still act as the boats timer.
I like the casio a lot but it is a plastic looking watch and not as cool looking as a the citizen watch which is metal and has the cool looking chronograph functions. I can't wear the Citizen mtn. biking though as its too heavy the casio is great for this. You can get the watches with or without a lot of the functions, solar charging, atomic, time etc, which double the price usually.
Whichever watch you get, put a velcro band on it if you are using just for sailing, their too ugly for a daily wearer if you have a real job. The watch will get beat up and eventually it will get caught on something. With a velcro band liek "the Band", just one pin will break leaving the watch dangling on your wrist from the other one, saving you from an expensive splash.
I'm with jimq26. Bought a cheap kitchen countdown timer, velcro it to the pedestal. It counts down from whatever you preset (I use 5 minutes) and if it goes over the side, I'm out $5.00
|Go cheap. You can get it caught in ropes, dropping spinnakers etc and it can be an expensive splash. The other option is to put it in a pocket( velcro or zip up) after start. I've not lost one this way myself but people look sad and go quiet when it happens to them. You can also get a slip on cover made of wet suit material that goes over wrist to protect it. Do you have a timer somewhere in boats instruments? A newish race boat should have something in there somewhere.
Casio Sea Pathfinder. I was given one for Christmas by The Admiral. Can't say as there's a single thing I don't like about it. And as for LARGE numerals: It's got VERY LARGE numerals .
The watch has a very nice race start count-down. Its count-down timer can work either of two ways: Go automatically into stopwatch mode after the count-down has elapsed (useful for racers), or start a new count-down (useful for the RC).
Btw: On the off chance said boat has a Raymarine ST60+ knotmeter: That's got a built-in race start timer that does both 10- and 5-minute count-downs.
To get the 'correct' time.
The easiest way to get correct time, is to look at the time on your GPS. That is the correct time, since your GPS operates by knowing exactly what time it is. Faster and more accurate than anything you can get on the internet, and easier to use than the NOAA radio broadcasts.

Front/Rear Bumper Removal
This is going to sound obnoxious, but... I really want to store the Caddy in my garage, and not miles away in some uncovered space in a public storage unit after it must leave my friends' driveway.
The problem is that my garage's max length is 216" on the generous side, but actually, I'm not sure that there is more than 210" of space given that there is a shelf installed on the wall in the front with angled supporting beams. And last time I measured my Caddy, it was something like 220" long. Sorry that you can't really see it too well at the moment, but this is the shelf I'm talking about...
My Miata is currently residing in the garage. As you can see, with the Boxes in front, it's even cozy for the Miata. I'll be cleaning out everything under the shelf, on the side of the garage and putting all those boxes into storage. Now all I have to do is get the Caddy to physically FIT into the garage, which is why I'm motivated to take the front bumper off (and perhaps some other parts behind the bumper) to free up at least 10" of length from the Caddy.
I've spent a little time reading through my shop manual about how to remove the front bumper, but what's not clear to me is how much time and effort this kind of endeavor would take.
Can anybody give me a general idea of how much work (e.g. how many hours, how many parts --a million parts or only a few, etc) I'd be getting myself into by removing the front part of the Caddy?
Please tell me if I'm crazy.
Getting 10" off the car will be cutting it close. Dropping the back bumper will gain you maybe 4 or 5 inches if you drop the fillers too. The front bumper might get you 5 or 6 inches or so. Leave the bumper shocks on the car unless you want to have fun readjusting the bumpers (I've done it with my front bumper....not exactly fun).
Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
Maybe it is because I have always been more of a builder than a mechanic, but I think it would be easier to build a 2 ft bump-out the size of your door and temporarily mount the door out more. You would have to forget the opener, and depending how your spring mounts work, possibly mount it on some big hinges to swing out to one side.
7 eight ft. 2X4s, 1 4X8 siding, 1 piece of exterior ply for the "roof", 2 big gate hinges and a qt. of paint. It can be removed and leave only a couple of screw holes on each side to be puttied when you are done and want to return to original.
It may take as long to do as the bumpers, but would give you room to walk in front of car to do work on it instead of just shoehorning it in.
My 2 cents.

Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
The other option is a car cover, depending on your driveway and the amount of room your sitting Caddy would take - a quality car cover that breathes is pretty close protection wise to what the garage would offer. I covered my old Mustang for a winter, summer, and another winter in a snowy Canadian climate with no noticeable degradation in the car about 5 years ago.
Then again, what do I know - I'm willing to fork out to rent out a garage or small warehouse come winter for mine if we don't find a suitable house to move to.. lol
Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
So about removing those bumpers then....
For removing the bumpers, there are 4 nuts on each side on the end of the bumper shocks you need to remove. These nuts are on threaded shafts that are welded to a piece of steel inside the bumper (thats not part of the bumper). You want to back them off equally to about halfway then back 3 of the 4 off all the way and leave the fourth one (which you want to be one of the top ones) just a few threads left. Then you get a friend to hold the bumper while you take the last 2 bolts off. BTW, one of the threaded shafts may break the weld that holds it to the bar in which case it will spin freely. It you can hold the threaded shaft in place, get the nut off. If it won't back off, you'll need to cut it off with a sawzall.
With the rear bumper, when it is off, have your friend hold it up a couple inches from the car while you disconnect the lights and fiberoptic lines from the lenses.
(I'll have to take pics when I get home tonight and show you what I mean by the threaded shafts being welded to a brace and how they stick through the bumper).

Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
Car covers usually are OK on cars stored indoors. Otherwise they invite trouble.
Removing the front bumper isn't a bad idea. Not sure if it will get what you need though. I'd take the bumper shocks right out of the frame still attached to the bumper because that will gain more space. The bolt marks on the frame will be obvious upon re-installation unless the car has already been wrenched upon there.
There are a pair of bumper strut supports which go up to the tin. Those can be removed on the tin side instead of the bumper side. I'd consider hitting those with WD-40 or similar a week in advance. They have clip nuts which will fall apart if the threads bind.

Thats gonna be close. I think the caddy is 221". The bumpers are a two man job but pretty easy to remove. You'll easily see what bolts need to come off when you get under it. Front is about 30/45 minutes, same with the back. The tailights come out first, then the bumper. Remember, if you remove the bumpers, the first things that will be damaged are the fillers if you hit the wall.
Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
it would be best to just unbolt and remove the entire bumper with the shocks still attached to them, called energy absorbing units, that way you won't fuss with trying to align them back on. You'll find it in your manual in chapter 2 section B, if it is the same as mine, lol.
The bar someone here is referring to, is the reinforcement bar behind the chrome facade of the bumper. Maybe if you remove the front bumper and front headerpanel it will give you the clearence you need up front.
you can see what I mean in the top pic of your post

Re: Front/Rear Bumper Removal
Id just take the bumpers off and leave the shocks. It's no big deal doing that and putting them back on that way either and you have less weight to deal with when you're taking it apart, moving them, and putting it back together too.

Bears running back Matt Forte was limited in practice for the fourth consecutive day on Saturday and is considered questionable to play Monday night against the Cowboys. Forte didn't play last week because of a sprained ankle.
Fantasy Analysis:
And that sprain might still be bothering him, but it looks like Forte will at least play Monday night. How effective will he be? How many carries will he get? That's up in the air, and it makes Forte a rather uncertain fantasy choice. If you are trying to figure out whether to start Forte over another RB who is also less than 100 percent (Mikel Leshoure, Willis McGahee, Fred Jackson, Reggie Bush), let me say that I would go with any of those other guys instead of Forte. Again, the fact that he plays in the final game of the week weighs heavily in that opinion. But I also expect Forte to lose a few more carries than normal to Michael Bush , and the Cowboys' run defense did a good job of slowing down Doug Martin last week at home. If he plays, Forte is a high-end flex option in his first game back from the sprain.

|Vern Bradford
|I agree with everything Willowbilly said. It is funny that you are refering to this car as an LT-1 rather than a Z-28. Willow is correct in saying that a 70 Z-28 would have an LT-1 motor...something stinks. I say steer clear. This 70 Z is worth 15-20K at Carlisle.
|A 70 LT1 would be a Z-28 and they were actually a 70 1/2 or a mid year into and fairly rare. If it has the RS nose with the split bumper it is even better. A numbers matching 70 Z-28 that hasn't been too badly molested and only needing paint (more like a full cosmetic resto) would be worth a fair chunk. More if it is a 4 speed. Take a Camero expert though because lots of people claim they have a number natching car and they really do not, maybe they just found a block with the correct codes or something.
1970 Camaro LT1 value?
Ok......so my buddy has a 1970 Camaro...327 sbc with less than 70k on odometer...Brand New Th350 trans with less than 1000 miles on it...centerline wheels...air shocks....complete msd ignition, new intake, carb, headers. Question is a man he knows has a 1970 Camaro LT1 numbers matching car and wants to sell it and since he knows my buddy he said hed give him a good deal. Now my buddy wants to sell his and make this man an offer.....whats a good starting point price wise for selling his? and how much is a good offer for that LT1 camaro?.......any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated.....btw my buddies needs some body work and complete interior work....while the LT1 needs paint.thanks

That's not uncommon, remember that your frame is aluminum and the barrel and slide are steel. What you're seeing is the anodizing wearing off the frame as the steel is harder than the alloy+finish.
Unless there is physical damage ie cracks, peening, dents etc. the wear is just cosmetic. It looks like there is possible damage to the left front rail, but it's hard to tell in the pics.

Ok, here's the lowdown: I ordered a jet pack, esb gun kit, shin tools, etc from him way back in early March (which set me back $1000). Finally, after 4 months, the items (as of last week) were ready to be shipped and supposedly sent by him (with NO delivery confirmation or tracking number for such a big money purchase) but I have yet to receive anything from him.
Has anyone ordered a large number of items from him recently? I know some may think I'm overeacting, but he told me these would be ready in 2 months.

Sabres lose patience over labor negotiations
Less to lose in lockout?
'The Buffalo Sabres lost $8.2 million last season playing hockey. This year, they expect to lose $7.4 million – if they don't play.'
Beyond the Boards… Sean McMorrow
'If you weren't in hockey, what do you think you would be doing?
I think I would actually be getting into law school. I always wanted to be a lawyer but when I chose juniors over college that all changed. I definitely think that I would be in law school right now.'
Miller won't sweat slow start
'Yes, his goals-against average (4.91 after Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Manitoba Moose) and save percentage (.850) are ugly.'
Point is made to pointless Vanek
'Yet with no points, nine shots on goal and a minus-3 plus/minus rating through four games, it's quite clear that Amerks coach Randy Cunneyworth decided to deliver a message. Even if he wouldn't say so.'
Foligno, inductees jump for joy
'"We're involved now as an outsider working with the future stars of the NHL," Foligno said. "We're working with players who are inevitably going to be drafted come (NHL) draft time. Hopefully, there will be a draft. Hopefully, there will be a place for these players to go to. I'm sure down the road there will be, but as to when we don't know. We've got our fingers crossed that it will get rectified so these players that are draft eligible this year do get an opportunity and don't have to miss a year."'
Inducted to the Hall Tonight
'The Buffalo Sabres' Mike Foligno, who served as team captain from 1989 to 1991, was named one of 11 members for the 2004 class of the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame on June 11, 2004. Foligno and the rest of his class will be inducted tonight at HSBC Arena.'
Foligno gives Buffalo hockey fans brief fix
'''I'm a short, quick fix,'' said Foligno, who was among the 11-member class of 2004 inducted. ''You can never replace the real thing, and hopefully we'll get the opportunity to see the real thing in action soon enough. It's a great game and we can't go too long without it.'''
Sabres C Connolly selected to U.S. national team
'Buffalo Sabres center Tim Connolly was one of 10 players named Wednesday to the U.S. men's national select team that will compete in next month's Deutschland Cup in Germany.'
Sabre Legends: Gilbert Perreault
"He's the closest thing I've seen to Bobby Orr," said Del Wilson, Montreal's highly regarded director of player development.
The Sabres get under way, (on Xbox)
'The bad news for the Buffalo Sabres is that they are 1-3-2 after their first six games. The good news is that there are Sabres playing hockey, at least in the imaginary world created by G4TechTV, a cable channel that is simulating all 1,230 games of the NHL regular season. They play games with the video-game versions of real players on real NHL teams, using EA Sports' NHL 2005 on Xbox.'
News to follow Virtual Sabres
'The News will carry results of Sabres games each time they play throughout the season, courtesy of G4techTV.com and EA Sports' NHL 2005.'
Wide right! No goal! Now locked out
'For this night, opening night in Buffalo, there is only wind, rain, sleet. Even the seagulls are afraid to take to the sky. (submitted by: Indy Dave)
Beyond the Boards… Derek Roy
"I live with Ryan Miller and Mike Ryan so it's a pretty fun household right now," stated Roy. "We are just starting to get the house in one piece. I play the drums and Ryan plays the guitar, so we sometimes jam around the house."
Sabre Legends: Clint Malarchuk
Unfortunately Malarchuk is best remembered for one of the most horrific injuries in all of hockey history. Tragedy struck on March 22, 1989 when his jugular vein was cut by a skate.

Victoria Beckham Announces E-Commerce Revolution
Giving her business a big boost, Victoria Beckham has redone her website to optimize her customers' shopping experience.
According to a report, the former Spice Girl is poised to take the e-commerce market by storm by offering her full line of goodies on the web.
Posh enlisted King & Partners as her new creative agency and the first thing on the list was a new internet presence by early 2013.
Among the new offerings up for sale are accessories, eyewear, denim, and the Victoria Victoria Beckham collection.
CEO Zach Duane told press, "For us, this is the first step toward creating our own store environment. There are obviously already some fantastic digital stores in place, so the bar to entry is very high. But we feel that we've learned a lot from the market and that we are bringing our take on what we believe is ultimately all about customer experience."
"My new website has been in the making for a very long time. It was so important that the concept, tone and look of it were true to me and my aesthetic and that the shopping experience was the very best that it could be for my customer. The site will be ever evolving, featuring never-seen-before insights into my world through the medium of film. I'm incredibly excited with what I have created and the unique access to the brand I am now able to offer," added Beckham.

Updated S&P Technical Formation
Throughout the third quarter, the pristine technical formation for the S&P 500® Index (SPX) (Figure 1.1) has most accurately guided investors. In the wake of yesterday's FOMC statement announcing a third round of QE, the SPX appreciated to its highest close since December 31, 2007 of 1468.36 (Figure 1.2). In fact, the SPX closed yesterday at 1459.99, a mere 7.4% from its October 11, 2007 high print of 1576.09 (Figure 1.3).
The upside is not my concern. The path of least resistance continues to point higher. However, prudence dictates identifying where investors should be alerted for a change in near-term momentum.
In previous blogs, I identified the 1391.74 level as significant. A close below 1391.74 would caution investors that the near-term bullish momentum has been neutralized, and the highly successful "overweight" Q3 positioning should be pared back. I am now raising that level to a close below 1422.38 (Figure 1.4), which is the intraday high on April 2 of this year that provided significant resistance for the SPX throughout Q2.
Additionally, the 200-day moving average (Figure 1.4) continues to rise, currently resting at 1347.39. A sustained sell-off below the 200-day would signal a rather dramatic secular turn for equities, similar to September 2000 and October 2007.
Let me introduce another chart for investors to pay close attention to over the next few weeks. The 10-year U.S. Treasury (Figure 1.5) is challenging the 200-day moving average at 1.83%. Keep in mind, the 200-day moving average has been an excellent indicator to guide fixed income investors over the past 24 months. I mentioned the SPX now rests 7.4% below its 1576.09 all-time high print. I expect a much needed condition to reach that level would be a continued rise in the 10-year yield. Monitoring the 10-year is now once again very relevant to SPX upside potential.

Here is one teaching activity about Halloween that I tried with my students during my practicum. I designed it myself and it worked out very well.
Material: You need two Halloween facts sheets: Halloween fact sheet A and Halloween fact sheet B. On these sheets, 15 facts about Halloween are written. (Note that the same facts are written on the two sheets and that you can find different Halloween facts on the internet. Also note that the number of facts depend on the number of students you have in your class. You actually need as many facts as the half of your class.). You also need a question sheet that can be answered using the Halloween fact sheets. (I made up the questions myself once I found the facts I wanted to talk about in class).
1) You first divide the class into two big groups. One group is groups A, and the other is group B.
2) You then have students stand up and form a straight line standing next to a partner of their team and facing someone from the opposing team. (If you don't have equal teams you can always improvise; ex: two students will work in teams)
3) You then assign students number (Student 1,2,3,4,5... in team A and the same thing in team B). Note that the students facing each other must have the same number.
4) Afterwards, you give each student number 1 of each team the Halloween fact sheet corresponding to the letter of his team.
5) Once everything is set, you answer the questions on the question sheet you made up. Each student 1 have to look for the answer on their respective Halloween fact sheet. The first to answers gives 1 point to his team.
6) Students 1 then pass their fact sheet to student 2 of their team. The teacher asks a different question and the activity is repeated until everyone has done the challenge.
I presented this activity as a game show just like ''The price is right'' to my students and they actually enjoyed it! I also gave chocolate to the winning team since it was on the day of Halloween! I would like to hear your comments if you plan to try it out with your students. Thank you!

Modulation Delay-TonePrint von Inoran
INORAN's first choice among the various Flashback delays was the modulation delay. He tried all of the available modulation types and chose to go with the TriChorus. Then, he spent a good 20 minutes to fine-tune the chorus sound on the feedbacks by playing the same clean arpeggios over and over again. So here is his 'Modulation Delay' which in his own words is: a source of inspiration for new song intros.
