Mexico City: Enrique Olvera
For the scoop on where to eat in the Distrito Federal, T+L caught up with one of the city's top chefs.
Renowned for modernizing Mexican cuisine with his signature restaurant, Pujol (dinner for two $145), Olvera is executive chef at the Distrito Capital (dinner for two $70) hotel. "I have enough fine dining at my restaurants," Olvera says, "so I head to more casual places when I go out." He suggests starting the day at Nicos (3102 Avda. Cuitlahuac; 52-55/5396-6510; breakfast for two $50). "They use free-range eggs for their huevos a la Mexicana and huevos montuleño, plus all the most flavorful chiles: jalapeños, serranos, anchos." Lunch at Azul y Oro (lunch for two $60) is the next mandatory stop. "Ricardo Muñoz Zurita is perhaps the most important food scholar in Mexico. His duck empanadas with mole negro are amazing." For something more upscale, Merotoro (204 Amsterdam; 52-55/5564-7799; dinner for two $50) serves Baja-style seafood. Don't miss: "The braised abalone," Olvera says.
Plus, His Other Favorites...
Market: Olvera loves to eat in the city's many outdoor markets like La Merced (180 Rosario; no phone; snacks for two $3). "I go on Saturdays for quesadillas with zucchini blossoms, Oaxacan cheese, and epazote in a blue-corn tortilla."
Sweet Treat: When Olvera craves ice cream, he heads to Roxy (161 Tamaulipas; 52-55/5256-1854; dessert for two $4) for his favorite flavor: zapote negro (made from native black persimmon).
Baked Goods: Italian restaurant and bakery Rosetta (bread for two $4) has an excellent foccacia with raisins, while El Cardenal (23 Palma; 52-55/5521-8815; pastries for two $7) makes some of the best traditional sweet pastries (conchas, cuernos) and cinnamon-laced hot chocolate.
Housewares: Maggie Galton (346 Hegel; 52-55/5255-2230, by appointment) sells beautiful ceramic molcajetes (mortar and pestle) and guajes (gourd pots) that incorporate elements of indigenous and modern design.
New York: April Bloomfield
From spice shops to dim sum joints, this British transplant knows her way around the Big Apple.
When Bloomfield isn't at Manhattan's Ace Hotel, where she runs the Breslin Bar & Dining Room (dinner for two $66) and the John Dory Oyster Bar (1196 Broadway; 212/792-9000; dinner for two $67), you may find her in Brooklyn at Roberta's (261 Moore St.; 718/417-1118; lunch for two $25). "Order a growler [of beer] and a pizza from the wood-burning oven," she says. Just as good are the small plates (sweetbreads with Taleggio and honey) and steaks, fish, and chops. Back in Manhattan, Bloomfield's go-to dim sum spot is Jing Fong (20 Elizabeth St.; 212/964-5256; lunch for two $24). "Arrive early to beat the crowds, and eat dumplings pushed around on trolleys by sweet Chinese ladies." For brunch, she heads to Gabrielle Hamilton's Prune (brunch for two $30). "I've waited for a table for hours, but it's worth it for the house-made merguez sausage with oysters and the fantastic Bloody Marys." And for dinner? Annisa (dinner for two $95). "It's fine dining, but I like to eat at the bar: Start with a cocktail, then the soup dumplings with foie gras and the mixed roasted eggplant with yogurt water."
And She Also Loves...
Pub Grub: For bar fare, without table linens or tasting menus, Bloomfield favors Waterfront Ale House (540 Second Ave.; 212/696-4104; dinner for two $55). "They have an extensive list of beers. More important, they do the best chicken wings, with house-made hot sauce aged in whisky barrels."
Spices: As long as she's out shopping for her restaurants, Bloomfield will stop at Kalustyan's (123 Lexington Ave.; 212/685-3451) for their selection of more than 4,000 spices.
Market: According to Bloomfield, Chelsea Market is a great place to go with the family because there's so much to eat, from lobster rolls and Italian sandwiches to Aussie pies and ice cream. Don't miss Bowery Kitchen, the kitchen-supply shop, and Amy's Bread, where you can watch the loaves being made.
Cookbooks: Bloomfield collects vintage cookbooks, and the best vintage volumes are at Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks (163 W. 10th St.; 212/989-8962). "Bonnie opens around 1 p.m. and sometimes has a special where she sells one genre at a lower price."
Paris: Thierry Marx
The avant-garde chef leads the way to his hometown's insider foodie haunts.
After 10 years of cooking his high-minded cuisine at the Château Cordeillan-Bages, near Bordeaux, Marx returns to the City of Light this summer to open Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx (251 Rue St.-Honoré, First Arr.; 33-1/70-98-78-88), in the new Mandarin Oriental, Paris (the hotel group seems to be collecting capital-C chefs lately, having recently installed Heston Blumenthal and Daniel Boulud in London and Carme Ruscalleda in Barcelona). Now that Marx is back home, he plans to make up for lost time at two of his favorite bistros, Bistrot Paul Bert (dinner for two $100) and Le Petit Verdot (75 Rue du Cherche-Midi, Sixth Arr.; 33-1/42-22-38-27; dinner for two $200). "I go to Paul Bert for the thirty-five-euro prix fixe menu," says Marx, surely thinking of fried eggs with truffles and a proper steak frites. "Le Petit Verdot," he says, "feels like an authentic countryside dining room—wood tables; exposed ceiling beams. It has a peaceful quality I crave." Plus: melt-in-your-mouth escargot and foie gras. For fine dining, Marx goes to Restaurant Pierre Gagnaire (dinner for two $860). "I have huge respect for Pierre for his surprising juxtaposition of ingredients and his attention to detail," he says. But sometimes a chef with a two-Michelin-starred restaurant on his résumé just wants a big bowl of spaghetti, and for that Marx recommends the house-made pasta at Le Monteverdi (5-7 Rue Guisarde, Sixth Arr.; 33-1/42-34-55-90; dinner for two $80), owned by Claudio Monteverdi (yes: he's a direct descendant of the Italian composer).
He Also Recommends...
Oven-Baked Snacks: One of Marx's most beloved Parisian bakeries is Du Pain et des Idées (bread for two $7). "The owner, Christophe Vasseur, has delicious rolls, brioches, viennoiseries, and pain des amis—a flat bread with thick crust and a nutty taste." A new favorite: La Pâtisserie des Rêves (pastries for two $17). Located on a residential street on the Left Bank, the shop displays pastries under beautiful glass bells. "The Paris-Brest is divine, but I particularly like the éclair au chocolat, topped with a bittersweet glaze. Philippe Conticini, the chef of this shop, is a true pastry magician."
Chocolate: Marx's most enthusiastic recommendation of all? The decadent creations at Patrick Roger (chocolate for two $18). There are seven locations in Paris, but Marx frequents the one closest to his office. "Patrick Roger always offers exactly what I am looking for," he says. "Excellence, imagination, and creativity." Original bonbons include chocolate with thyme and lemon, caramel with vinegar and grape, and caramel with verbena and yuzu. "Anyone who knows me knows how much I love chocolate."
Melbourne: Donovan Cooke
A pioneering chef crafts the ultimate tour down under.
Donovan Cooke is a legend in Melbourne for his run at Est Est Est, a revolutionary French restaurant that closed nearly a decade ago. Now Cooke, a protégé of Michel Roux and Marco Pierre White, has opened the seafood-inspired Atlantic (8 Whiteman St.; 61-3/9698-8888; dinner for two $210) at the Crown Entertainment Complex, which houses the new Crown Metropol hotel, Australia's largest. For breakfast, Cooke drops by the European (161 Spring St.; 61-3/9654-0811; breakfast for two $40), where his son is an apprentice. "There's great people-watching, strong espresso, and perfect poached eggs." Clamms Fast Fish (141 Acland St.; 61-3/9534-1917; lunch for two $20) provides the city's top restaurants with their seafood. "They also serve classic fish-and-chips," Cooke says. "Get yours to go and head to St. Kilda Beach to watch the waves roll in." Maze by Gordon Ramsay (Level 1, 8 Whiteman St.; 61-3/9292-8300; lunch for two $90) is the chef's preferred sit-down lunch spot. "I enjoy the small-plate grazing menu." What to order? "Yellowfin-tuna tartare with radish and a deconstructed beet salad with goat cheese and Cabernet Sauvignon vinaigrette."
Other Melbourne Musts...
Market: Weekend mornings are the best time to visit the South Melbourne Market (322 Coventry St., Fitzroy; 61-3/9209-6295), which opened in 1867. "There is so much under one roof," Cooke says. "I buy specialty cheeses from various delis." And he never leaves without stopping for dim sim, a cheeky play on the Chinese dumpling that's become a cult snack.
Spices: For spices, Cooke heads to Simon Johnson, Purveyor of Quality Foods (12 David St., Fitzroy; 61-3/9644-3630). "If he doesn't have it, it's not worth having. He sells everything from hand-harvested sea salts and smoked paprika to saffron tips and organic Manuka honey from New Zealand."
Bakery: Noisette (84 Bay St.; 61-3/9646-9555; pastries for two $7) is the place to go for French-style cakes and pastries. "I buy the dense walnut bread to munch on when I'm out and about."
Late-Night Feast: After his shift, Cooke drops by the Woolshed Pub (Shed 9, Central Pier, 161 Harbour Esplanade; 61-3/8623-9640; dinner for two $50), in a converted cargo shed on the water. "Start with crisp-fried Berkshire pork belly with coriander-and-red-chili sauce, followed by grass-fed porterhouse steak and chips with horseradish sauce. And sticky date pudding. It's worth going there for that pudding alone." The Den (61-3/9698-8888; drinks for two $38), the bar beneath Cooke's restaurant, is his pick for a nightcap. The Cohiba No. 23, with tobacco-infused añejo rum, pear eau-de-vie, fresh apple juice, and bitters, is served in a balloon glass and delivered in a humidor. "It's a great way to end the night."

got the cam broke in
Hey guys,
Well i got the cam broke in and after that i was trying to get the timing fine tuned and i heard a tick tick from the right side of the motor???
At first i thought i had a exhaust leak but i could't find one so i took off the valve covers and started it back up!
I found that the #6 intake rocker isn't getting any oil what would cause that? I took off the rocker and the pushrod to make sure i had no plugged up passages and all was good there. So what now guys??? do i have a collapsed lifter or spun cam bearing? Im thinking of tapping on the pushrod while it is sitting on the lifter (maybe its stuck)?
p.s. happy 4th of july
|For the trans check out the transmission forum here .1200 parts and labor sounds cheap .how ever your engine build should be over 450 HP so the trans will need GOOD parts
|Well I just ordered a 750hp carb so that problem is solved thanks again for all of your help guys, now I just gotta learn how to rebuild my tranny my local shop quoted me 1200 bucks to rebuild it "ouch"
|should be the same as a holley, set your floats like you would on a holley, see what size jets you have in it and what size power valve, too see what size power valve you need, take how much vacume the engine makes devide by 2 and that will get the size you need, now jets there should be a 6-8 spread like for instands 69 primarys 75-77's in the secondarys.. 200$ sounds like a great deal on that carb, and if your going to just street it no raceing id still go with the 5.7 rods alot of plp use the 6" rods for extreme raceing use, it will be a very happy motor with the 5.7 rods!
|Gofastz this is going into a hot rod so it'll never see a track! Its just gonna be a weekend toy/shows. That king demon is only 200 bucks so maybe i'll give it a shot how hard are demons to tune i've never touched one?
|you could make that king demon work, iv seen plp put 850's on 355s lol, but you could jet it the way you want it put the right power valve in it too... but heres some food for thought this combo puts out around 480hp, tfs 215 heads, comp xr282hr cam, on pump gas! and scat 9000 series rotators are a good choice...
|for me if i were to drive it on the street more than on the track id stick with the 5.7 rods that you have listed but it will perform great at the track aswell just with the 6" rod puts the pin up in the rings, it is very easy to make power and tq with a 383 and id deff use a better carb to feed the need, pn#4779 750cfm holley will put it out, but it you can aford a few extra bucks the holley street hp 750 is a nice peace, with the cr being around 9.7 will make it good on 93 octane, you can get easy 600hp out of a 383 on pump gas with the right goods with your combo with a holley prb around 420-450hp my guess, my wife's cuzin has a 98' s10 with a 383 in it 4:10 gears and a tci th350 just let me tell ya the 29/12.5/15 mickey sportsmans dont stand a chance, he drives it around town all the time, even when it uses 114 race fuel!
Ssmonty thank you i'll rethink my setup, i'm going to stick with the cam though just becuase I already have it if im not happy I can always recam it later down the road.
What size cfm carb would work best for my setup I found a cheap king demon with removable sleeves if I were to get green sleeves for it, it would be 795cfm would that be pushing it for size i've been told buy local guys 750cfm would be a good choice and that the 600cfm that I have now is pretty small.
Sorry if I was miss-leading, but you can get the Scat 9000 series cast crank which is much less expensive than a forged one,($242 vrs. $630) and get the job done. Summit PN SCA-935056(Scat's long PN 9-350-3750-6000) is what I'm referring to although they have an incorrect description by calling it a 400 instead of 350 crank. Look at the specs and you can see that the main journals are 350 size. Better yet, check out Scat's site for part numbers, and specs.
The rods I mentioned are a work of art for the money($330) in my opinion, and a good buy even if you don't get the forged pistons. Summit pn SCA-26000716(Scat's pn 2-ICR6000-7/16). They have ARP cap screws instead of thru bolts, and the big end has construction qualities more like an H-beam rod. Mine measured less than .001" in length variance between all using a set of Mitutoyo calipers. I admit calipers aren't the best method for measuring rods, but they are pretty consistent, and I've heard about other rods being checked the same way and finding much more variance in rod length.
The only drawbacks to using the 6" rod (IMO) is that allot of pistons designed for them have to use rail supports for the oil rings(not all), and the pistons price may be a little higher.
Again FWIW,
PS If this is for the street I'd agree with AP72 and go with a smaller cam or its gonna be a dog where it will spend most of its time. That is if its a hydraulic lifter. And there rpm band is a little on the wide side.
|Go with the 700r4 and get a different cam. More lift, less duration, preferably roller.
I would stick with the 700r4.
You can use it in 3rd gear and you're driving around 1:1 same as the th350.
Then when you get on the highway and get up to 70-75 and all the rpm's and exhaust noise start to grind away at you, throw it into overdrive.
At 75MPH, with a 26" tire, rpm's will be 4090.
Throw it into OD and and it drops to 2788.
I'm not sure how it would run at those rpm's with that cam, just showing how a 700r4 could be useful especially with 4:11's.
Ssmonty sorry its a 2 piece rear main high nickel nodular capped block. i'll look into going with the forged crank 6.0 rods and forged pistons and see if I can afford it. Thanks for your suggestions!
F bird 88
well you've talked me into a th350 trans! Haha! Which brand do u prefer for transmission overhaul kits and converters B&M, TCI or Hughes, I was looking at a TCI streetfighter converter part# tci 241000 in the summit catalog and the TCI 328800 overhaul kit. Also for gears is Richmond gears a good brand and whats the best way to make it posi a Detroit locker truetrac differential?
Thanks for all of your help so far guys im 25 yrs old and trying to learn from you gearheads that had the privilege to experience the days of the muscle car! Haha
My two cents FWIW,
If I were you I'd buy the Scat crank for six inch rods so that you can get the rotating assy. internally balanced, as it sounds in your post(big cam, 200cc heads) you'll be turning allot of rpm. You didn't say if it was a one or two piece real seal block, so I can't list a PN.
I'd also buy the Scat 2-ICR6000-7/16, 6" I-beam rods with the ARP cap screws and bushings for floating piston pins/ 6" rods.
For a little more detonation tolerance I'd buy Forged pistons for floating pins.
I'd also buy a Powerbond balancer PN PB1046ST. Has engraved markings and a better reputation than the Powerforce dampner.
You asked,
PS I'm no pro!
|Thanks guys, so f-bird 88 should I just go with a 350 trans and forget the 700r4 overdrive trans I was just thinking the od would be nice for 4.11 gears at highway speeds I also liked the low 1st gear im not to awfully concerned about good mpg , I was thinking a 2800 stall just cuz i'll be driving around town on weekends and I didn't want to create to much heat from the converter. The only bad thing is 98 percent of these parts are already in the engine the cam is one of them. Where do u think that cam produces its most power? 3200 3300 rpm?
SB-CHEVY: 383 w/5.700 Rod 0.110 dish top piston with 4-valve reliefs. 9.63 Comp. Ratio with 64cc Head 8.62 Comp. Ratio with 76cc Head

Discussion in 'Football, Baseball, and Hockey' started by dba, Apr 10, 2012.
Ozzie Guillen gets suspended for five games for saying something good about Castro? Come on...
Forbes estimates his wealth at 550 million dollars.
Ozzie or Fidel?
Fidel Castro is a very rich man.......He has 3 private yachts.......... Ozzie is rich in his usage of colorful metaphors.......... Two sides to this tricky debate. Cuban people are leaving their country in droves...looking for the freedoms that we're allowed to practice. Why be upset when Ozzie is simply practicing his right to speech.... However, Castro has become rich as a dehumanizing dictator forcing citizens to leave their beloved country.... They are allowed to protest the comments that Ozzie made...............
Anyone is welcome to protest anything he said. I'm just not sure why his employer gets to suspend him for making a simple statement that has nothing whatsoever to do with baseball. We're allowed to do that here. At least for a while longer.
If you are one of the faces of a billion dollar industry, you lose the right to speak your mind if your stupid and insensitive comments could cost thousands of customers and millions of dollars in revenue. The guy is lucky he wasn't fired.
your stadium is in little havena.... you don't praise the man that most of the residents have family members killed by, say it in 2008 in chicago (he did) and nobody will care.
You don't check your rights by accepting a job. What if he said I like the Dalai Lama and the mostly Catholic Cubans didn't like that. Or he liked a particular political candidate. You either have free speech or you don't. I'm guessing he could sue about the suspension and win, but probably just wants to let it all go.
It's not about free speech. It's about the manner in which you represent an organization. President Obama has free speech. What if he said that he loves Castro, Hitler, Bin Laden, etc.?
You're right Bill........but what do you think would happen to Obama if he said he liked Castro? besides losing the Cuban vote...........
Obama officially stating he's in love with Hitler could probably draw some media attention.
In regard to this country: you have the right to free speech. In regard to your employer: you DON'T have the right to be un-professional. ...Dude was unprofessional.
The government didn't punish him for what he said. So the issue is not really about political freedom of speech. There are a lot of things I can do to get myself fired that aren't against the law. If I stopped going to work and wrote my bosses insulting emails, I couldn't go to jail but I would probably lose my job.
Rascoe allows us to insult Piston players regularly, but I'm unaware of any suspensions because of it. I certainly wouldn't insult bacon though..........that would require severe punishment.
Darth got a 2-week suspension for sending me private messages of him and Jammer wearing women's clothing. Rascoe probably would have allowed it, but there dresses were Celtics and Lakers colors.
First of all I'm surprised Quillen didn't just fire back "F'you all" which he usually does. Second, he tried to say, ment to say, Castro's reign should've ended with his death along time ago. [Not buying it] ---Third, this country was founded through REVOLUTION. That's what Castro accomplished right under American nose. Castro made the country to his liking and threw out what he didn't like. His country ! Everything else get's to walk. Quillen is such a joke. he get's away with murder.
The country belonged to Castro? It was his personal possession?
I really need to start paying attention to these basketball threads from now on. I keep forgetting what kind of criminally insane people I am dealing with in here. Sometimes I feel like my trusting nature is being taken advantage of. It hurts fellas. It really does. As far as Castro, I was a State employee in Michigan and Idaho for a lot of years. I felt like I was lady Macbeth (don't go there again, Laimbeer) after shaking hands with the Governor. I couldn't seem to wash the slime off no matter how hard I tried. However, if I was asked on a public forum what I thought about him, I wouldn't have been stupid enough to say what I really thought. My boss may have agreed with me. But I would have been out looking for a job by the next pay period.
So you didn't like Jennifer Granholm..........
Sorry. I wasn't clear. I was referring to the good ole' boy, Idaho governor, Butch Otter.
Separate names with a comma.

I'm mostly talking about actresses, since I'm a straight guy. Still, does anyone feel like most people on most live-action TV shows now-a-days just seem to look...generically hot? Just a sort of...alright-looking face with a decent body and kind of pretty straight shiny hair that's kind of wavy sometimes. Hardly ever really cute or full-figured or distinctive-looking, but then again, I don't watch "normal" TV shows that often. I only pick up on what I see on TV when my parents are watching it, so I doubt that this is the case for every character in every show.
The only female I've seen in a sort of comedy/romance series I've watched recently that seemed pretty hot to me was Mindy herself from The Mindy Project, and that's mostly because she's Indian, and she is actually kind of cute and curvy, and I'm already kind of bored of her.
It's funny, too. Because I half the females I see in real life don't look like actresses or models, and yet they STILL look a lot more interesting and/or cute and/or sexy to me.
Again, just, people in general. Not just female actresses. I am also aware that style can alter someone's appearance a lot.

Wiring with fiberglass
New to the forum. I am building a replica of the GT40. It has a steel frame, pan, and fiberglass body. The kit was purchased unfinished. There was no wiring or hydraulics at all. The lights are in place without any bulbs, just some wiring connectors. I plan to put in a guage filled dashwith several toggle switches for the accessories. The turn signals, ignition and horn will all be on the dash as well. I plan to install several things that most GT40 replicas don't have, such as neutral safety switch, rear view camera ( rear vision is like in the Lotus Turbo Esprit, virtually non existant). Interior lighting and security stuff like Lojack etc. This is a mid engine setup with a Ford 351, multiport fuelinjection, DIS ignition setup probably by Electromotive. There will be three fuel pumps ( two low pressure from each sill tank, and one high pressure one to the EFI), and a return line with switching to the tanks (probably the F150 dual tank setups).
My question is about wiring harnesses. I have researched the forum and have seen a lot on EZ, but have no experience with it nor have any of my friends. I have catalogs from Painless and American Autowire. I know EZ is cheaper and American runs around 3-400$. The American seems to be more "complete" to me with all the accessories (bulkhead disconnects, universal ground splice sys. integrated power tap connectors etc). Being only limited in my knoledge of auto wiring ( I have worked on cars most of my life and I hold a Masters defree in medical science, so I know about wiring) I will defer to the knowledge base. The only fiberglass is the body as all panels and flooring will be stainless steel. What have been you guys experience, or what would you suggest? I live in the Atlanta, Stone Mountain area.
Painless makes a generic wiring kit for street rods, and that is the one I am going to use for my glass 34 project. As you suspect the grounding is very different on a glass car. I am planning on placing grounding terminal strips at strategic locations to facilitate grounding. You application wil probably use a generic kit, with your modifications for your car. At best the generic kit is just a starting point and will provide all the standard things like alt, starter, lamps and others. You will have to add or modify the wiring to incorporate what other functions you desire. You will become a wiring expert in the process.

Former University of Delaware All-American, Current NFL Starter Paul Worrilow Honored as DSBA Athlete of the Year
Related Links
The award was presented as part of the 65th annual DSBA Banquet, which was held at the Sheraton Hotel Wilmington South. Worrilow, who was not able to attend the event due to a team commitment in Atlanta, earned one of five awards presented at the luncheon, which celebrated the 2013 sports year in the state.
"I want to thank the Delaware Sportswriters and Broadcasters Association for this great honor," said Worrilow, a linebacker who led the Atlanta Falcons in tackles in 2013. "I take a lot of pride in the fact that I grew up in Delaware and played football at the University of Delaware. This is an award that I will always cherish."
A native of Wilmington, Worrilow was an All-State player at Concord High School who walked-on at Delaware and became a four-year starter, a three-year All-Colonial Athletic Association selection, a two-time team captain, and a 2012 All-American. He ranks fifth on the all-time UD tackles list with 377 and played a key role for the 2010 Delaware team that advanced to the NCAA FCS national championship game.
An undrafted free agent, Worrilow earned a tryout with the Falcons and made the team in pre-season. After seeing limited action early in the campaign, he took over a starting role four games in and finished with a team-high 127 tackles, which ranked 12th among all NFL players and second among rookies. He also had two sacks, one pass breakup, and four tackles for loss. He had 19 tackles in consecutive games against NFC playoff participant Carolina and Super Bowl champion Seattle in early November and added 16 stops the following week against Tampa Bay.
Worrilow is the second straight University of Delaware student-athlete to earn the Brady Award and the sixth in the last seven years. He is also the eighth UD football player and the 14th Blue Hen student-athlete overall to win the award since it was first presented in 1949.
Other winners with UD ties were Bob Trivits (football, 1954); Al Neiger (baseball, 1959); Mike Brown (football & track, 1963); Herb Slattery (football, 1966); Dick Kelley (football, 1969); Steve Taylor (baseball, 1977); Bill Vergantino (football, 1992); Daryl Brown (football, 1994); Kevin Mench (baseball, 1998); Eddie Conti (football & track, 1998); Tyresa Smith (basketball, 2007); Casey Howard (field hockey, 2009); and Elena Delle Donne (basketball, 2008, 2010, and 2012).
In addition to Worrilow's Delaware Athlete of the Year Award, the Salesianum School boy's soccer team was honored as Team of the Year; Polytech High School field hockey and girl's lacrosse head coach Lynn Richardson - a former field hockey and lacrosse standout at Delaware - earned the Tubby Raymond Coach of the Year Award; Tony DeFazio earned the Herm Reitzes Award for community service; and Mike DeStasio and Erin Wendelburg shared the inaugural Buddy Hurlock Unsung Hero Award for overcoming adversity.
Salesianum, which also won the Delaware Team of the Year Award in 2004, captured the boy's state soccer title in 2013 with an undefeated 17-0-1 record; Richardson was named the state Coach of the Year in both her sports during the 2013 calendar year; DeFazio is a tireless youth sports volunteer and game official in Sussex County; DeStasio is a national champion All-Wheel bowler from Sussex County who was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease) in 2008; and Wendelburg is a senior member of the St. Elizabeth High School Dance Team who has overcome the death of both parents and recovered from a brain tumor.

10:30 a.m. 29A04-1110-CT-571. Indiana Supreme Court courtroom. On April 14, 2006, central Indiana suffered a hailstorm that caused millions of dollars in property damage and generated thousands of insurance claims. Following the storm, Joseph Radcliff created Coastal Property Management LLC (CPM) to assist homeowners in identifying storm damage, repairing that damage, and working with insurance companies to pay for repairs. Many State Farm & Casualty Co. policyholders' claims were denied, and some of them complained to the Indiana Department of Insurance. Radcliff was retained by a number of State Farm policyholders. Two State Farm employees began investigating Radcliff for insurance fraud and forwarded their files to the authorities. The Marion County Prosecutor's Office filed charges against Radcliff, but those charges were later dismissed.
State Farm sued Radcliff and CPM for racketeering and insurance fraud in Hamilton Superior Court. State Farm alleged
that Radcliff, through CPM, had a fraudulent scheme of intentionally damaging homes to simulate hail and wind damage and submitting
false insurance claims. Radcliff and CPM counterclaimed alleging that State Farm defamed Radcliff by falsely accusing
him of criminal conduct
In June 2011, after a six-week jury trial at which forty witnesses testified, the jury found in favor of Radcliff and CPM on their defamation counterclaim and awarded them $14.5 million. After the verdict, State Farm filed a motion to correct errors in which it moved for judgment on the evidence, argued that it was entitled to a new trial under the "Thirteenth Juror Rule," and argued that the damage award was excessive. The trial court denied State Farm's motion. State Farm now appeals the defamation judgment arguing that its communications were protected by statutory immunity and a common-law qualified privilege for crime reporting, Radcliff failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that State Farm acted with actual malice, and the damages are excessive.

Republican Senator John Ensign of Nevada admitted that he had been involved in an affair for several months with a member of his staff whose husband also works for the senator. Ensign belongs to Promise Keepers, a Christian Ministry group whose motto undoubtedly is that Democrats must keep promises, but since Republicans, by definition, are moral, there is no need to worry about who they screw in the pursuit of emphasizing the moral foundations of the Republican party. Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs, and Ann Coulter so enjoyed having a field day with the antics of the immoral Bill Clinton whose sexual escapades they insisted required impeachment. Clinton only obtained blow jobs but Ensign apparently got the entire package. We assume the forces of morality in the Republican party will now demand the resignation of Senator Ensign.
Sex is simply a human act and what constitutes moral behavior is a decision by two individuals and has nothing to do with the American people. Ensign claims, "it is the worst thing I have ever done in my life." I doubt it. Examine this man's voting record and you will discover he opposed extending health benefits for children and has preached against the morality of people on welfare rolls. Senator, God frankly doesn't give a darn about who you screw sexually, but he sure does care when you screw poor children!

I'm trying to show my cousins how insecure their network is with 64 bit wep but they refuse to believe me. They turned all their PC's off and gave me 2 hours. I thought it would be easy but I failed.
I' used the BT 4 Live CD with a Intel 3945ABG.
I first authenticated with the network using:
I authenticated fine.aireplay-ng -1 3000 -e MyCousinsNetwork -a XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -h XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -o 1 -q 10 wlan0
My next move was to use interactive packet replay because they shut their PC's down. I would have used injection if they had stayed up and were generating traffic. So I entered this command:
When I do anaireplay-ng -2 -b XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -h XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -c FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF -p 0841 wlan0I see myself as authenticated on the network.airodump-ng -w COUSINS --bssid XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX -c 8 wlan0
These commands did not generate enough traffic at all in 2 hours.
So did I do anything wrong or is it just my wireless card?

Cathy from Michigan writes:
If you upgrade to IE9 do you lose all of your favorites you had in IE8?
Cathy, Internet Explorer 9 offers lots of features not seen in the previous version of the browser, including faster search times, pinned sites, and a built-in SmartScreen protection filter. If you're eager to upgrade, but worried that you might lose your Favorites, you'll be happy to know that they are saved and imported into Internet Explorer 9 automatically.
Internet Explorer 9 has had a bit of a visual overhaul, though. In earlier versions, Favorites were displayed prominently in the toolbar. When you launch Internet Explorer 9 for the first time, you may be alarmed at the lack of a toolbar. Although it looks like your Favorites have disappeared, they've only been moved to a new location.
To find your Favorites, look for a small white star at the top right of the window. Click the star, and a new, smaller window opens. In this window, you can access the Favorites, Feeds, and History tabs. Click on the Favorites tab to see the list of saved websites imported from Internet Explorer 8.
Favorites management in Internet Explorer 9 is different, but fairly intuitive. Clicking the yellow star in the top left corner of the screen allows you to instantly add the website you're currently viewing to your Favorites bar. Your Favorites bar displays a tab for each website you've saved to it. If you want to pin the Favorites, Feeds, and History tabs to the browser window, click the white star icon and then click the small green arrow in the upper-left corner of the window. The window moves to the other side of the screen and stays there until you close it. If you prefer the look of the traditional Internet Explorer toolbar, you can also hit the "Alt" key. The full toolbar appears at the top of the page. Hit "Alt" again to make it disappear.
In most cases, Favorites import easily into Internet Explorer 9. If your favorites seem to have disappeared upon upgrading, however, you may need to import them manually. To do this, press "Alt" to bring up the toolbar, and then click "File." Click "Import and export…"
A new window opens. Click the button next to "Import from a file," and then click "Next." Click the box next to "Favorites," and click "Next" again. The file containing your Favorites should automatically be displayed. If it's not, click "Browse" and choose the appropriate file. If you do not know the location of your Favorites file, you can find it in Windows 7 by clicking the "Start" button and typing "favorites" into the search bar.
Once you know the correct file, click the "Next" button, then "Import" and "Finish." Your Favorites should now appear when you click the star icon or bring up the toolbar.

Hello everyone i recently purchased a 1984 Chevy c-10 pickup and i have a few questions. This truck is running a 4.1 L GMC 250 I-6 linked up to a 3 speed Saginaw and I am thinking about swapping it out to a high output 305 Linked to the 3 speed. I know this has been done many times before but i am new to mechanics. What is it going to take to do this, Is this 305 better or will i regret this decision down the road. any input will be appreciated Thanks.
a few things...you are talking about a bolt in swap. but there are a lot of changes..the motor mount to frame brackets are different.. if you swap.. do put your brackets up on ebay.. there have been several people looking for them.. frame to mount.. mount... and mount to engine bracketsa few things. and these are my personal feelings..a straight six.. 3 on the tree... is COOL.. hint.. you can also .. swap to a 4 speed transmission.. even something like the A833 overdrive 4 speed.. that has the lever flipped on the forward shift shaft... and a morse cable to move reverse (the third lever ) in and out.. so you could have 4 on the tree with the 4th being overdrive.. i don't know if you will have to change the drive shaft length.. but it should almost bolt in.. and yes.. thats a chrysler transmission.. but they made GM versions.. in the overdrive variant as i recall..you could also... switch to a floor shift 5 speed... .. like an NV4500.. there are several articles on that...all this with the straight six..one thing.. there are several versions of the emission systems on the straight six.. can you identify the emission label under the hood.. the bottom 2 lines usually say... federal emissions standards.. or california emission standards.. and.. are you planning on keeping this truck for the lONG run.. its hard and expensive to create a smog legal swap in those years.. without buying and this is the easy way.. a complete wrecked truck to grab all the parts off to fix yours up..six cylinders.. if properly adjusted.. and in good running condition can beat the fuel economy of a 305.. and there are issues with keeping the 250 six..let me go over a few.. since its made it this long...#1... DO NOT REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT... rule #2.. refer to rule #1.. these have to have the OEM temp thermostat.. 50% to 70% coolant to water blend..no rust in the cooling system... no leaking hoses or pump.. or heater core...and a cap that actually holds pressure.. some have the center disk that dangles.. others have one that is spring loaded.. go for the spring loaded version..why run a thermostat.. the cylinder head on these is so long.. that in order for it to last.. you need to keep it at a stable temp.. without a lot of range in temp..so the thermostat does.. this by keeping the engine coolant circulating in the block and cylinder head.. when thermostats are removed.. the engine takes forever to warm up.. the heater does not work as well if at all.. when you are driving down the highway.. the heat starts building in the engine and the coolant circulating thru the radiator so fast that it cannot cool.. so it gets hot eventually.. when you take your foot on the gas... the engine slows down and the ram air thru the radiator can cool that water some.. now that cooler water is circulated into the engine shrinking the head.. this expanding and contracting is not bad on a V8.. but on a straight six.. its fatal.. this will cause fatigue cracks.. and the loss of mechanical fluid pressure of the water pump pushing coolant against a closed thermostat and only some of it flows thru the bypass.. each pound of pressure increases the boiling point of the coolant 3F.. the hot spots in the head.. can get over the 260F during high speed operation or high load operation.. the trick would be.. to start gathering parts.. starting at the frame brackets and moving upward.. you might in a short while run into a far better motor than the 305.. perhaps a complete TBI 350.. or a 96 or 97 Vortec 5.7... you will need to find an 87 fuel tank.. or perhaps just the sender to allow you to install an intank pump.. or a combo motor.. a vortec with a carb intake.. or a vortec with a vortech bolt pattern TBI intake.. or even something like a 6.0 or 6.2L LS Motor.. even if you drop a carb on it.. with the ignition controller.. you are going to be happy..plan ahead.. start collecting parts.. wait till you have them all.. and have decided to do it..unless your straight six is broken.. there are lots of issues with carb wear.. there are also issues with the hei... and some of these straight sixes might have had feed back carbs.. and since i took a quick look.. wow.. your truck has a factory 2bbl carb.. the varajet.. thats way cool... more depending on which system you have.. feed back.. or non feedback...keep the straight six.. is my thought right now... but again..as i said at the front.. you are the car owner.. and this is only my opinion..
Well it is a straight 6, 3 on the floor forward is reverse. I will be working out of a 87 Gmc for the motor mounts and such. the carb on the motor is shot and i cant seem to get my hands on a carb for it, so that is why i was planning on doing the swap im still very hesitant. I would really like to keep this truck original but its so hard to find the parts and pieces to allow that. i have every original piece to this truck down to the hub caps and beauty rings. I am going to do some code collecting on the truck this weekend on most of my parts, like i said im new to mechanics ill do my best to all the information right.
autozone sells reman carbs...you did not mention if its a feed back carb or not...do you have an oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold..??? or NOT.. whats warn out on the carb.. as those are completely rebuildable.. there is also an adjustment inside. that some people screw up.. and.. if the feed back electronics are not working properly.. it will run horrible..i have a lot of experience in feedback carbs and fuel injection...i can help you with it...and if its a floor shift.. you can go to like the NV4500 really easily.. get 5 speeds instead of 3... snap some images from under the hood.. include the emissions label.. and there is a white plastic chart with a bunch of 3 digit letters on it.. place a piece of tape across the VIN number on that and then take a picture of it.. so i can read the 3 digit numbers...upload the images to photobucket dot com.. its free.. and paste the links here..there is also a web site called gmpartswiki. you will have some fun there.. there are here is the motor mount pages... you will have to view this in a new window.. straight six..
Ok from what i see on that gmpartswiki i actually have a 292.. i guess. I'm going to advance auto and getting a rebuild kit for the carb its like $16 or something like that, I talked to my brother hes convinced its a feed back, its over at his house I'm headed out there this weekend to grab the carburetor. I will keep shooting back here while i rebuild the carb for advice but that is the only thing wrong other than the break lines , we had it running by feeding gas in the top of the motor it sounds excellent I cant in my right mind swap the entire motor over a carb that's just ignorant. I am looking into the NV4500 that is a great idea.
these are not simple carbs.. please read the instructions several times..and you will need torx...if it is a feed back system... jump the A and B terminal under the dash and grab the codes..please.. also photograph the carb area.. and put tags on every hose before you take it apart.. so you know where it all goes back.. you will need to stop over to an autozone.. there is a tool display out in the middle of the floor.. and it will have a green handled torx folding set.. that has small enough sizes to get the carb apart...there is a big main jet inside the carb.. please.> DO NOT ADJUST OR MOVE THE SCREW THATS DOWN iNSIDE THE MAIN JET.. this is a variable adjustment engine.. and if that screw gets messed with.. it't not going to be good.. autozone has instructions.. on that carb also.. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairinfo/repairguide/repairGuideContent.jsp?pageId=0900c1528004c521you will want to read this..GENERAL INFORMATIONThe CCC System monitors up to nineteen engine/vehicle operating conditions which it uses to control up to nine engine and emission control systems. This system controls engine operation and lowers the exhaust emissions while maintaining good fuel economy and driveability. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) is the brain of the CCC system. The ECM controls as many as 12 engine related systems constantly adjusting them for maximum efficiency. In addition to maintaining the ideal air/fuel ratio and adjusting ignition timing, the CCC System also controls the Air Management System, the transmission torque converter clutch (certain automatic transmission models only), idle speed, Evaporative Emissions System, the EGR valve operation and the early fuel evaporative (EFE) system.The CCC system is primarily an emission control system, designed to maintain a 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio under all operating conditions. When this ideal air/fuel ratio is maintained the catalytic converter can control oxides of nitrogen (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions.There are two operation modes for CCC System: closed loop and open loop fuel control. Closed loop fuel control means the oxygen sensor is controlling the carburetor or throttle body delivered air/fuel mixture ratio. Under open loop fuel control operating conditions (wide open throttle, engine and/or oxygen sensor cold), the oxygen sensor has no effect on the air/fuel mixture.On some engines, the oxygen sensor will cool off while the engine is idling, putting the system into open loop operation. To restore closed loop operation, run the engine at part throttle and accelerate from idle to part throttle a few times.The carburetor mixes air and gasoline into a combustible mixture before delivering it to the engine. However, carburetors have reached a point where they can no longer control the air-fuel mixture sufficiently close to the ideal 14.7:1 ratio for most operating conditions. Therefore, an electric solenoid has been incorporated into the carburetor to control the air-fuel ratio. The solenoid is connected to the ECM. The ECM provides a controlling or adjustment signal to the solenoid. The solenoid controls the metering rod(s) and a idle air bleed valve to maintain the ideal air-fuel ratio throughout the operating range of the engine. Since conditions that would effect the air fuel ratio vary widely, the ECM monitors conditions through several sensors. This provides for proper adjustment of the solenoid, for all driving conditions.One of the most important sensors that the ECM relies on for controlling mixture is located in the exhaust stream and is known as the oxygen sensor or simply an O 2 sensor. The sensor functions when the engine's exhaust temperature rises above 600ºF (316ºC). There is a direct relationship between the mixture delivered by the carburetor and the amount of oxygen left in the exhaust gases. The O 2 sensor detects the level of oxygen in the exhaust and signals the ECM by varying the voltage signal to the ECM. From this signal, the ECM is able to calculate whether the mixture is too rich or too lean and will adjust the mixture control solenoid accordingly. This process goes on continually and is referred to as Closed Loop operation. Closed loop operation tries to maintain the optimum 14.7:1 air/fuel mixture to the engine.In the morning when the engine is cold, if the system keep the air/fuel mixture at the 14.7:1 ratio, the engine wouldn't run very well. When the engine is cold, it has to have a richer mixture. An automatic choke is used to give the engine a richer mixture until it is up to normal operating temperature. In addition to the choke, a temperature sensor located in the water jacket of the engine is used by the ECM to monitor engine temperature. When the temperature sensor signal indicates that the engine is cold, the ECM will ignore the oxygen sensor signal. During the period that the O 2 sensor signals are ignored the ECM is running in a mode known as open loop. During this open loop period, the ECM adjusts the mixture control solenoid to deliver a richer mixture based on a preset program retained in the ECM's memory. The ECM also uses information from other sensors during cold start operation. After the engine has warmed up to normal operating temperature, based on the temperature sensor's signal, the ECM will switch to closed loop operation.While the oxygen and coolant temperature sensor influence the ECM the most in control of the fuel mixture, there are three other factors which influence the ECM. One of these is the load that is placed upon the engine. When an engine is working hard, such as pulling a heavy load up a long grade, it requires a richer air/fuel mixture. This is different from a vehicle that is operating in a cruise condition on a level highway at a constant rate of speed. Manifold vacuum is used to determine engine load. A vacuum sensor is used to detect changes in the manifold vacuum which are signaled to the ECM. As load changes occur, the vacuum signal varies. The ECM takes this varying signal into account when determining what mixture the carburetor should be delivering to the engine.Another factor in determining what air/fuel mixture should be is the amount of throttle opening. The more throttle opening at any given time, the richer the mixture required by the engine. On most applications, a Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is used to signal the ECM as to the position of the throttle, whether it is at idle, part throttle or wide open throttle.The final factor in the fuel mixture equation is the speed the engine is running. Certainly, when an engine is operating at 600 rpm, it doesn't need as much fuel as it does when it is operating at 4000 rpm. Therefore, a tachometer signal from the distributor is fed to the ECM for calculation in the fuel mixture equation.The ECM is a reliable solid state computer, protected in a metal box and located in the cab. It is used to monitor and control all the functions of the CCC System. As explained previously the ECM can perform several functions at the same time but it also has the ability to detect certain faults within the CCC system. Generally when it detects a fault in the system the ECM will do three things; one is it will warn the driver by turning on the "CHECK ENGINE" or "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light on the instrument panel, second it will try to compensate for the fault in many cases and third it will record what system or circuit is faulty in it's memory. When the engine is started, the CHECK ENGINE light will remain on for a few seconds, then turn off. This is normal operation but if the CHECK ENGINE light remains on, the self-diagnostic system has detected a problem. The ECM records the fault in it's memory in the form of a diagnostic trouble code. The diagnostic trouble codes recorded in the ECM's memory can later be accessed to aid in diagnosis of the Computer Command System fault. It should be understood though, that as powerful as the ECM is as a computer it does have limitations and cannot detect all the possible failures that could be encountered.SCAN TOOLSAlthough stored codes may be read with only the use of a small jumper wire, the use of a hand-held scan tool such as GM's TECH 1 or equivalent is recommended. There are many manufacturers of these tools; a purchaser must be certain that the tool is proper for the intended use.The scan tool allows any stored codes to be read from the ECM memory. The tool also allows the operator to view the data being sent to the ECM while the engine is running. A scan tool makes collecting information easier; the data must be correctly interpreted by an operator familiar with the system.An example of the usefulness of the scan tool may be seen in the case of a temperature sensor which has changed its electrical characteristics. The ECM is reacting to an apparently warmer engine (causing a driveability problem), but the sensor voltage has not changed enough to set a fault code. Connecting the scan tool, the voltage signal being sent to the ECM may be viewed; comparison to either a chart of normal values or a known good vehicle reveals the problem quickly.TROUBLESHOOTINGDiagnosis of a driveability and/or emission problem requires attention to detail and following the diagnostic procedures in the correct order. Resist the temptation to perform any repairs before performing the preliminary diagnostic steps. In many cases this will shorten diagnostic time and often cure the problem without further testing.Visual/Physical Underhood InspectionThis is possibly the most critical step of diagnosis. A detailed examination of connectors, wiring and vacuum hoses can often lead to a repair without further diagnosis. Performance of this step relies on the skill of the technician performing it; a careful inspector will check the undersides of hoses as well as the integrity of hard-to-reach hoses blocked by the air cleaner or other component. Wiring should be checked carefully for any sign of strain, burning, crimping, or terminal pull-out from a connector. Checking connectors at components or in harnesses is required; usually, pushing them together will reveal a loose fit.Diagnostic Circuit CheckThis step is used to check that the on-board diagnostic system is working correctly. A system which is faulty or shorted may not yield correct codes when placed in the Diagnostic Mode. Performing this test confirms that the diagnostic system is not failed and is able to communicate through the dash warning lamp.Reading Trouble CodesOnce the integrity of the system is confirmed, enter the Diagnostic Mode and read any stored codes. To enter the diagnostic mode: Turn the ignition switch OFF . Locate the Assembly Line Diagnostic Link (ALDL), usually under the instrument panel. It may be within a plastic cover or housing labeled DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR. This link is used to communicate with the ECM. The code(s) stored in memory may be read either through the flashing of the dashboard warning lamp or through the use of a hand-held scan tool. If using the scan tool, connect it correctly to the ALDL. If reading codes via the dash warning lamp, use a small jumper wire to connect Terminal B of the ALDL to Terminal A . As the ALDL connector is viewed from the front, Terminal A is on the extreme right of the upper row; Terminal B is second from the right on the upper row. After the terminals are connected, turn the ignition switch to the ON position but do not start the engine. The dash warning lamp should begin to flash Code 12. The code will display as one flash, a pause and two flashes. Code 12 is not a fault code. It is used as a system acknowledgment or handshake code; its presence indicates that the ECM can communicate as requested. Code 12 is used to begin every diagnostic sequence. Some vehicles also use Code 12 after all diagnostic codes have been sent. After Code 12 has been transmitted 3 times, the fault codes, if any, will each be transmitted 3 times. The codes are stored and transmitted in numeric order from lowest to highest. The order of codes in the memory does not indicate the order of occurrence. Switch the ignition OFF when finished with code retrieval or scan tool readings. Due to increased battery draw, do not allow the vehicle to remain in the Diagnostic Mode for more than 30 minutes. If longer periods are necessary, connect a battery charger.Clearing Trouble CodesStored fault codes may be erased from memory at any time by removing power from the ECM for at least 30 seconds. It may be necessary to clear stored codes during diagnosis to check for any recurrence during a test drive, but the stored codes must be written down when retrieved. The codes may still be required for subsequent troubleshooting. Whenever a repair is complete, the stored codes must be erased and the vehicle test driven to confirm correct operation and repair.The ignition switch must be OFF any time power is disconnected or restored to the ECM. Severe damage may result if this precaution is not observed.Depending on the electric distribution of the particular vehicle, power to the ECM may be disconnected by removing the ECM fuse in the fusebox, or disconnecting the positive battery terminal. Disconnecting the battery cables to clear codes is not recommended as this will also clear other memory data in the vehicle such as radio presets or clock.Field Service ModeIf ALDL terminal B is grounded to terminal A with the engine running, the system enters the Field Service Mode. In this mode, the dash warning lamp will indicate whether the system is operating in open loop or closed loop.If working in open loop, the dash warning lamp will flash rapidly 2 1 /2 times per second. In closed loop, the flash rate slows to once per second. Additionally, if the system is running lean in closed loop, the lamp will be off most of the cycle. A rich condition in closed loop will cause the lamp to remain lit for most of the 1 second cycle.When operating in the Field Service Mode, additional codes cannot be stored by the ECM. The closed loop timer is bypassed in this mode.The following is a list of possible diagnostic trouble codes that could be stored in the Electronic Control Module's (ECM) memory. It should be noted that a diagnostic trouble code does not identify that a particular component has failed, but a problem in the circuit of that component has occurred. Therefore, if a code is found to be set in the ECM's memory, the related circuit must be checked completely. Be sure to perform the visual inspection before proceeding with additional testing and pay particular attention to wiring terminal connections at connectors for loose or corroded connections.CODE 12 -No engine speed sensor reference pulses are being received by the ECM. This code is not stored in memory and will flash only while the fault is present. This code is normal when the ignition is on and the engine is not running. Code 13 -The ECM has detected a problem in the oxygen sensor circuit. The engine must run at part throttle for at least four minutes before this code will set. Code 14 -The ECM has detected a short in the coolant temperature sensor circuit. The engine must be running for at least two minutes before this code will set. Code 15 -The ECM has detected a open in the coolant temperature sensor circuit. The engine must be running for at least two minutes before this code will set. Code 21 -The ECM has detected that the throttle position sensor circuit voltage is high. This is and indication that the throttle position sensor is out of adjustment or an open in the circuit wiring has occurred. The engine must run for a least 30 seconds at idle before this code will set in the ECM's memory. Code 22 -The ECM has detected that the throttle position sensor circuit voltage is low. This is an indication that the throttle position sensor circuit is shorted to ground. The engine must run for at least 2 minutes at 1250 rpm before this code will set in the ECM's memory. Code 23 -The ECM has detected a short or open in the mixture control solenoid circuit on carbureted engines or the Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) signal is high indicating a open circuit on fuel injected vehicles. Code 24 -No vehicle speed sensor signals are being received by the ECM. This is an indication that the circuit has an open or is shorted to ground. For this code to set, the vehicle must operate at any speed for 10 seconds. Code 25 -The ECM has detected that the Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) signal is low indicating a short to ground on fuel injected vehicles. Code 32 -The barometric pressure circuit signal voltage is low. Code 33 -The ECM has detected low vacuum in the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor circuit. Code 34 -The ECM has detected a problem in the vacuum sensor or the manifold absolute pressure sensor circuit. The engine must run for at least 2 minutes at curb idle before this code will set in the ECM's memory. Code 35 -The ECM has detected a problem with the idle speed control circuit. Code 41 - No distributor reference pulses to the ECM at specified engine vacuum. Code 42 -Electronic spark timing bypass circuit is grounded or open. Code 43 -Electronic spark control retard signal for too long a time period; causes a retard in the electronic spark timing. Code 44 -The ECM has detected a lean exhaust condition. The engine must run for two minutes in closed loop operation before this code will set. Code 45 -The ECM has detected a rich exhaust condition. The engine must run for two minutes in closed loop operation before this code will set. Code 51 -Faulty or improperly installed PROM or calibration chip in the ECM. The ignition must be on for approximately 10 seconds before this code will set. Code 53 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve vacuum sensor circuit. The ECM has seen an improper EGR valve vacuum. Code 54 -The ECM has detected a short in the mixture control solenoid and or a faulty ECM. Code 55 -The ECM has detected a problem with itself. Replacement of the ECM is required.
on your emission vacuum label.. look at the upper left corner of this one.. see the XCA..what number is in the upper left corner..it will be a XC?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|They should, but I thought it was on the other end of the wire. Earlier Focis used a 175a fuse. All it is there is to prevent exploding the battery due to a welded short circuit. Without the fuse or fusible link, someone who didn't disconnect the negative terminal could cause the battery to explode if the hot wire was to short against the engine block and weld itself tight. You'd have super hot sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas all over the place in about 2 seconds. Exploding batteries are not a fun learning experience even if you don't end up dead or disfigured.
I looked more at the wire and it turns out it has a fusible link on it that was fried. I replaced that to get continuity through the wire again. The alternator did test out bad. So I got a new one and installed it. Everything works again!
I am not sure if all foci have a fusible link but on my 07 focus hatchback it was right above the power steering tank.
I doubt there are any names I could call you that you haven't called yourself. I bet the next time you work on anything electrical in a car- you'll disconnect that negative battery terminal.
Have you checked to see if you definitely don't have continuity between the ends of the alt power cable? What got burnt when it shorted?
If you're referring to the 175a inline fuse in that cable, yes you can purchase something similar and cut out the old one. IMO, it wouldn't be worth it. What you'd save in money, you'd eat up in time, and likely pain and suffering. Not to mention you might cut the old wire just a tad too short and have to rig or replace after you spent a lot of time rigging in the first place.
|Well the alternator was really easy to remove, but I made a mistake. I forgot to disconnect the battery and blew the fuse to the alt. Is that fuse replaceable or can I wire my own in? I don't really want to buy a whole new wire.
|I have been monitoring the voltage through the cluster test mode for the last week and it works randomly while driving. I tried to wiggle test it and doesn't seem to make a difference. I am getting a few tools now to pull the alternator today. I will keep you all updated and thanks for the help.
The 2005 started a new type of ECU alt control at idle the ecu only shoots for 12 volts depending on load , engine temps and batt temps etc
Low voltage warning wont come on till 11.8 , proper working voltage is only 12.8
Then there is a timer that allows low voltage at idle then after a given time voltage comes back this time can be as high as 255 seconds so be careful testing the alt at idle
If at idle the voltage does not look right but at higher idle (above 1800-2000) voltage is correct this would be normal
Now saying all this the Alt has the ability to charge as high as 14.69 depending on load , engine temps , rpm , batt temps etc
|Wow... talk about two seconds too late.
I agree, it's time to start planning on replacing the alternator. So far, the 05+ Focis don't seem to have alternator plug-in connector problems that are fairly common on the earlier Focis. I do not know why this is, and as those cars age it will surely become more common. There are ways to watch alternator output while driving, but it's more for curiosity at this point. You just need a new alternator. Here's where I make my plug for you finding a local rebuilder- because that's a trademark of mine. You support your local small businesses, also in my experience it is much cheaper, and more reliable. Local automotive electrical rebuilders are in every municipality. These businesses might disappear as parts swapping DIYers get wooed by lifetime warranties, so reap the savings and benefits while you can. I got mine rebuilt for $80.
To double check your alternator problems use the electronic odometer method and monitor voltage while you drive. This will tell you if you're having problems with losing voltage via the alternator while driving, low battery voltage before starting, or high alternator voltage while driving. High voltage can kill your battery, and is not good for the rest of the electrical system either.
|Okay, thanks guys. I am working on it today. I guess I will check connections and if everything looks good. I will pull the alt.
My 2007 started doing that last year. The car would actually shut off once or twice at stops but revving it kept it alive long enough to get home. Then the next few days the car was back to normal. The telltale sign that it is going out altogether was when electrical things started not working right, even got a message on the stock head unit. Then it died on me while driving, all electrical shut off; gauges, lights, everything. I had the alt and battery tested, the alternator wasnt doing its job. Ended up having to replace the alternator, since then everything is back to normal 100% and happy again.
Similar issue happened with my sisters '07. Her shop said it was the battery only for the new battery to die on her while on a trip. Replacing the alternator fix the problem and she had been issue free for the past year.

Hi all
I'm looking for ways to make a lesson about business enquiries less dry and dull.
Does anyone have any tips, ideas or suggestions?
For example, when I taught 'Offers' I managed to find a scene from the UK sitcom 'Only fools and Horses' where a dodgy deal is brokered in the back of a car.
Students watched the clip without sound and had to create (and act out) a suitable dialogue. They then heard the audio, read the script, answered questions and then wrote the resulting order as a business letter from Delboy to the dodgy geezer.
Does anyone have similarly creative ideas for enquiries? Any films, clips, games, songs, comics, pictures or other material I could use?
Thanks in advance


text: Well, with my Vader helmet pretty much complete, and my Fett lid at the painting stage (still needs rangefinder head, but getting there), and a Stormtrooper noggin coming to me soon (which will be the only one I didn't make) I now can feel like I am approaching the final stages of my dream collection. This is my first RG casting with the first layer of paint. I'll give it a few days and sand it down and then spray it again.


text: A good friend of mine (Bobbie)called me today to give me an update on what was happening to her. I knew she was in the hospital with a foot infection and she had indicated earlier that she may have a long recovery time. She gave me the details today. It started with a spider bite, but turned into something much more serious. The doctors found stress fractures and infection in that foot. The infection had spread to the bone (but the blood came out OK, after lab tests). They removed parts of the bone in the first surgery, but now they are talking of amputating her below the ankle or below the knee. She has not received much information from the doctors, and she has been told not to eat or drink anything. She is afraid that they are preparing her for surgery. I don't have a medical background, but wouldn't they require the patient's permission to perform surgery on her? She needs to get approval from her insurance, and the hospital has not contacted her insurance. She feels comfortable with one of the doctors that are treating her, but she has not been seen by a doctor since yesterday. That sounded odd to me. My first thought- as a non-medical person- is: Is there a way to avoid amputation? I am wondering if there are any alternative therapies that could cure an infection (I am probably being very naive here)? I just asked her not to rush into anything and get all her questions answered first by the doctors. They have not even told her which rehab facility she would be moved to, two days after the surgery. That seems very odd to me. She is taking this bravely but I know that it's going to be really tough for her to adjust to a new life. I am hurting for her because she has been a good friend not just to me (I always call her as a sounding board, or if I have a question, need help, etc.) but to a lot of other people. I just want to help her, and will, but I am also interested in finding out if she has an alternative to an amputation. She mentioned to me today that she has diabetes (I didn't know that) and she has staff infection in her foot. It's just a terrible turn of events for her that's going to permanently change her life.

I am a sucker for flower garlands. They have a quality of innocence which is sweet but not sugary, and while the word girly may spring to mind, it does so with a different connotation to the way it applies to bows, or frills, or ribbons, or other 'girly' things. Maybe it's because they're born from nature, but garlands are, to my mind at least, the best kind of girly.
So while MariaFrancescaPepe's last collection enraptured us with its serpentine appeal, her latest does so with a flowery softness. The fringed hair and thick lower lashes certainly give off a '60s flower child vibe, but there's also a subtle gothicism to the black crosses and body chains.
The perfect way to mix the innocence of rose garlands with leather and crucifixes? Maybe not the, but it's certainly one of them.
View the full collection by MariaFrancescaPepe at the gallery above.

Has anyone done duck breast in a crock pot? I have about 10 breasts that I want to do in the crock pot. Thinking of doing it like this...
Toss em in a fry pan for about 3 minutes per side, take em out and toss em in the crock pot.
dump in some BBQ sauce
Cook em in the crock pot for about 8 hours (low heat). They should be done about the time I get off work.
