Idle Problems After Mechanic
Ever since I got my car (93' DeVille) back from the shop a few weeks ago, it has had an very high idle. It was in the shop for a smog inspection, and to get some oil leaks fixed. My mechanic said he replaced some engine seals, and tightened some bolts, to stop the oil leaks; he also fixed the coolant leak I had, which was from the water pump seal, so he replaced the water pump as well; he removed and welded the PS pump/belt tensioner bracket back together (it had broken near the bolt); he fixed a leaky injector; and finally he replaced the catalytic converter. He said he tried a lot of other different things while trying to get it to pass smog, until finally he replaced the catalytic converter and it passed, so I'm not sure what else he did before that.
Anyway, after getting it back, the idle is extremely high, it can coast for a few miles at 40mph easily. I have already tried readjusting the ISC motor (which seems to be working fine [i.e. it retracts and extends when I tell it to in the diagnostic menu]). This is causing extremely low mileage in town (6-7mpg), and I also have to ride the brakes at speeds below 25mph. It still seems to get around 25mpg on the freeway, however I can occasionally feel it accelerate by itself when coasting down hills.

Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
The ISC is still out of adjustment. I think the gap is .060" off the top of my head. You could also try the idle relearn procedure from the owners manual. If the car still sails on the ISC is malfunctioning.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
You might want to disconnect the cruise control cable at the solenoid and that will give you enogh slack to remove the cable at the throttle. Try that to make sure it i sn't your problem. Most likely it is the ISC. Have you pulled codes? Read the sticky at the top of the page, how to pull codes. Write them down, look up the definitions (nobody has them memorized) and post back.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
Do this simple test:
Use the diagnostics to retract the ISC
Verify that the isc plunger when fully retracted, does NOT touch the throttle lever. If it still does, screw in until there is a gap.
Go into ECM DATA and observe the TPS. You want a number between -0.05 and 0.05. <---But ONLY with the ISC not touching the lever!!
If the number is out of this range, the computer will play with the ISC motor until it gets the number it wants and it doesnt care if makes you idle at 40mph to do so.
Simply trying to "adjust" the ISC screw will do nothing because regardless of where that ISC screw is, the computer will still move the ISC to get whatever TPS reading it wants to see.
The ISC adjustments can only be done AFTER the TPS is in range.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
Okay well there are a few things I've figured out. One, the cruise cable was stopping the throttle lever from resting on the minium air screw. Two, at minium air it idles around 900-1000 rpms. Three, it doesn't have any vacuum leaks as far as I can tell, and I double checked with a gauge and it reads at around 18 inHg. Four, the car will run when it's adjusted down to about 550-600 rpms, however barely. At that range, it seems to pulsate; sounding like it's about to die, then revving itself back up and repeating that. And I may have somehow missed it, but I didn't see any way to read the TPS voltage through the diagnostic menu, so I haven't been able to check that yet.
Oh, and the only codes are:
E52 - PCM Memory Reset
F48 - Refrigerant System Problem
The first is from replacing the battery recently, and the second is because one of my A/C refrigerant hoses busted.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
Just press OFF to back out of ECM OVERRIDE, where you retract the ISC from. Then go into ECM DATA and it's the first parameter to show up. Min air setting should be @ 550.
Order of entire procedure:
Engine temp 160 or greater
Timing @ 10deg BTDC
Set minimum air to 550
Set TPS to +/- 0v
Set ISC maximum extension to 1.17v
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
pulsating typically indicates timing problem
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanicpulsating typically indicates timing problemJust press OFF to back out of ECM OVERRIDE, where you retract the ISC from. Then go into ECM DATA and it's the first parameter to show up. Min air setting should be @ 550.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
To get into PCM data, press LO. E.9.0 will display and at this time you press HI or LO to get your Specific parameter.
P.0.1 TPS degrees (angle) of throttle opening
P.0.4 Coolant temp (celsius)
P.0.8 is engine RPM
Your coolant temperature reading is in Celsius so you want it above 80 degrees celsius, (normal operating range is between 85-105 degrees celsius)
Re: Idle Problems After MechanicP.0.1 TPS degrees (angle) of throttle opening
Well, I replaced the TPS sensor as the cable clip was broken off and the housing was cracked, then I readjusted the new one to .5 volts, after which I put the ISC motor back on and readjusted the screw to the correct position. Then I preformed the idle learn procedure and checked the timing which was off, so I readjusted that also.
Now it runs much better and no longer keeps coasting for miles. However there are two things: one, the idle is still unstable and seems to be rough; and two, when I was setting the timing, the timing mark would jump up a few degrees every once and a while.
I already tried shutting off the injectors one by one to see if they were all firing and experienced an rpm drop on each one. Also, before anyone asks, I was in timing set mode when I set the timing.
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
Check the resistance of the injectors - when they get down below 11ohms, they tend to randomly drop in and out of operation. Factory units are well known for coil failure. You wanna see between 12 and 17 ohms.
I didnt see any mention of an ignition tune up so if that hasnt been done it may be about time. This will greatly improve idle quality.
I'm not sure about the timing mark, but I can tell you that I experience this also but it smooths out with an increase in RPM. I usually hold it to about 700rpm when checking/adjusting. Dirty/worn distributor contacts can affect how quickly the arc jumps from the rotor, affecting the moment that the timing light reads the spark. A less than perfect spark plug can do the same...

Factory units are well known for coil failure. You wanna see between 12 and 17 ohms.Did you happen to get the smog test result paper back? I took mine in recently also. It passed after having to abort the test first attempt, second time it passed with low numbers on most everything except NOx. The state has lowered passing numbers on NOx to the point it's going to be hard to pass some day.Cap and rotor should help alot if you haven't done so yet. It helped mine, had a slight quiver before I changed those. How many miles does it have on it since plugs, wires, cap and rotor? How many miles on the odometer?
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
Re: Idle Problems After Mechanic
I forgot to mention that it's much easier to ohm out the injectors at the harness connector.
If you have the OEM copper core plugs, they may be close to the end of their life. Re-gapping them could help since it gets wider over time (stock 0.060")
You can also inspect the distributor cap terminals for wear and check the center rotor contact for debris.

Re: Is 5.0 really that bad?
I know very few people who have had anything to complain about a Olds "Rocket V-8" don't forget the 90 is the last one of those. Just a conversation topic.
You want underpowered get a 4.1. At least the 307 has the torque to move a 4200 pound car from a dead stop, the 249 has a 3.42:1 final drive ratio, takes off like a rocket when you take your foot off the brake, but it needs that just to get started. And has no power, absolutely none around 60. Step on the gas and it slows down, almost.
I forget weather the 307 came with 3.08 or 2.73 rear gears. Both are far favorable for highway driving, and can cruise all day at 70-80.
Re: Is 5.0 really that bad?
Like I said ages ago, best low buck mod to a 307 powered Cad is grab a 4100 3.42 axle... Or get one from a high alt car, 3.73....
They are all 7.5", but who cars, they will take a lot of punishment honestly. Don't use slicks and don't tow heavy and it will live a long time. If it spins when you punch (hahahahahahaha) it, then let it, don't let it hook....
The 307 is a tough engine, good ring seal, lasts a long time with no issues. Only issues I ever knew of, intakes would leak and new gaskets needed from time to time and EGR stack tubes under carb would carbon up and cause pinging issues because EGR flow was so diminished. Fix that and it runs great again.
Ahh one of these days I wanna get me a light car like a Olds Starfire and drop a built 307 in.... Do it up right. A 350 Olds is still a better foundation to start with, but 307's have a small 3.8L Buick sized bore, so airflow is lacking, good rod length, good stroke, just smallish bore is its main characteristic that is dooming it from making good hp.
But anyone who says it can't be built needs to watch a 305 Chevy. They can do pretty well, they have a smaller bore. Do the same type things to a 307 as a 305 and you will get similar results. Still if you are going through the trouble of building it up, a 350 Olds is just better economically.

Re: Is 5.0 really that bad?
The 305 TBI was rated at 170 Hp the 350 TBI was rated at 190 HP ooh big difference yes the 350 has more torque but if you Hotrods 305 to 350 comparison you would see the really isn't much difference. You could swap in a 383 stroker and the 454 has the same trans bolt patern, it just depends on how much power you need versus how much power you want. The Olds doesn't really have a small block big block set up like Chevy despite people refering to them as that. It's more of a short stroke long stroke deal like Pontiac. But Olds uses a shorter stroke for smaller engines and long stroke for large engines as opposed to Pontiac's small bore large bore. Meaning a 455 Olds will drop right in place of the 307 same engine mounts and all ( just need a bigger rad and dual exhaust). You can even swap heads from big block to small block Olds, though you'll have to machine them so the intake manifold fits or buy the Performer RPM intake Edelbrock makes for using the RPM aluminum big block cylinderheads on a small block Olds.

Re: Is 5.0 really that bad?
On my 89 brougham with 307 I upped the timing a couple degrees, put in dual snorkel setup, tweaked the carb a little and put on dual exhaust as well. Pulls better than my 305 caprice ever did and sounds sweet as well. No complaints.
Re: Is 5.0 really that bad?
I just picked up a 89 Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance with an Olds 307, It Starts & Drives Great!! Most comfortable vehicle I own lol But Pick up wise its slow My 87 Caprice Classic Brougham Picks up faster with the same 307 motor only difference is Caddy has 57000KM & Caprice Has 314000KM. These Caddys Are Heavy Luxury Cars So The 307 takes a bit longer, Caprice is Lighter, & My Caprice & d'Elegange Are the same length same size But The Caddy is Heavier by far lol. I am a Chev Man preder the Chev 350 to a 307 but 350, 305 & 307 all Great GM Motors
The olds 307/350 were Not bad engines..... Notorious for wearing out or breaking teeth off timing gear as they get up in miles/age. Egr cloggings etc. the major problem with any olds small block is after '75 they switched to light weight blocks, which are weaker. And also Pontiac head castings. Bigger cams.... I.e. towing/ mild street, and bumping the comp ratio will really wake it up. Headers and intake/ carb will def help too. A breathing engine is a happy engine.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
did you ground negative connection to the car body? i have an ooga horn, and i just hooked up for fun today to test it ( i need to get something to mount it before it becomes a permanent fixture in the car) and it worked for me.. so try grounding the negative cord to the body of the car.
Doc, Elegant, and everyone else, thanks for your help.
In replacing my LeCarra horn button for Juliano's V8 button, I discovered both provided the ground and "relay" for the horn. In other words, the wire from the harness to the horn isn't "hot" or active until the horn button in the steering wheel is pushed down.
Drawing wiring
Hi Doc!
I use Corel Draw 7 to draw and Adobe's Acrobat to make those drawings into deeply zoomable PDF files. Corel 7 is an antique now, email me at email@example.com for details.
I have been drawing with it for many years. Since I love car wiring and mechanical details I have sort of arrived at my own drawing style. Based on the 80 zillion posts you have done here, it is a fine compliment to receive a thumbs up from you.
Kindest regards
Jon P
Doc here,
KEWL drawing and assessment..Elegantinventer!!
What did you do the art work on? anything I can Download on the web somewhere?
Horn Relay Circuit Drawn Out
The circuit Doc describes is what I have seen in just about everything I have ever worked on.
I have had to explain relay wiring many times, so here's my interpretation of the common "Bosch" style 20 and 30 amp relays and how to wire them safely with fuses.
Jon P
Doc here,
Most standard HORN buttons are a spring loaded push pad..that activates a GROUNDED Contact (looks like a motor brush..carbon contact with a spring between the contact ends) that contact goes through the steering wheel inside of a plastic insulator, the other end sticking out of the bottom of the steering wheel..all of this part moves with the wheel..
The Column side has a "Copper Ring" that goes around the steering wheel shaft..(this part does not move ) and hooks to the black 20 ga wire in the column..the contact touches this when the button is pushed..and fires the relay coil by providing GROUND to the relay..sounding the horn..
This is why I was concerned when you said you applied 12 volts to the horn button wire..If you follow it out..you have 12 volts at the bottom of the column..then when you sound the horn button...you ground that 12 volts directly through the horn ring...ERGO...Smoke...Fire and wires going away inside the column..Dead Short..
You Should Not be able to run power through a standard GM horn button, as it mechanically grounds inside the column..
This is also why the relay is wired Power for the relay coil directly to 12 volts hot at all times...and relay coil ground to the horn button..
I hope you follow what I am saying..It's like taking a button and putting + from the battery on one side of the button, and - from the battery on the other..It's fine til you push the button..then you let out the factory installed smoke..
Doc, thanks, yes I assume the vehicle is re-wired. These do not look like 1939 wires- it appears to be a standard wiring setup one would purchase to put a whole new wiring set in the car. I did not do any of the rest-o-modification, ( and I don't have any experience in any of this stuff, ) so I am making some educated guesses.
Same thing goes for the steering wheel. I know its a LeCarra Banjo wheel, and I was told its a GM column by another more informed hot rodder. The "button" I refer to is the one in the center of the steering wheel. I hope we're talking the same thing. I don't know if its the standard GM horn set up or not. Basically, I want the button in the steering wheel to activate the horn, not some separate switch or button mounted elsewhere.
Funny you mention it, the horn button has gotten stuck a few times within its housing in the wheel, I assumed it was a funky or cheap button. I am going to buy a Julianos V8 polished replacement , is there any way I can see when I take off the "LeCarra" button if its grounded there??
One more note: I have had the car two years, and other than the button getting stuck a few times, the horn has always worked fine.
Doc here,
OK, more questions..
Is the Vehicle re~wired?(new plastic coated wire as opposed to Cotton clad wire?) If not, on a 39 I am not sure about a stock relay, but I lean toward "I doubt it has one"...If aftermarket wiring it probably has..
And the second and more important question...I assume you are using an "Button" for a horn , not the standard GM horn setup..cuz...It's ground!
When you push the button on a standard GM horn button, it has a "Brush~like" device in the steering wheel that takes the black wire in the column harness , and GROUNDS it...this applies ground to the relay coil..which has power at all times.
If you are using it..and it is working for some reason, with 12 volts on it...you are very lucky! for some reason the column is not grounded and it's only a matter of time until it is..so the next time you push the horn .. it all goes up in smoke..(12 volts to ground..)
If however, you are using an aftermarket "Black Button or switch" I can see how that can work fine..however the safe way is to use the ground in either case..Assume every-time you hear a stuck horn, It's a ground hitting something on the horn button wires..Now change that to 12 volts..you have a burned up harness or fire..
To check if you have a relay now..in a quiet location, disconnect the horn at the front, and push the horn button..listen for a "Click" and track that noise down, you'll find the relay..If however you don't hear a "Click" you may not have one or it is inoperative..
Thanks for all the help . Here's some more info:
Doc, yes I am trying to do a stock swap out on my 1939 Ford Panel truck. The Panel is a restomod, with a 350, Mustang II front, and GM steering column and trans. The "stock" or existing horn worked. It is mounted underneath the front fender, forward of the wheel. There are a few wires that come out of a hole under the fender, including the front hi beam, lo beam, and HORN. None of these have a relay as you discussed, but it is possible they are relayed back near the harness underneath the dash. I'll have to look. The car has power windows, so I hope they're using a relay since most of you guys say its important.
Last night, I hooked the existing HORN button to the + on the ooga, and used a spare wire I had laying around to go from the - on the ooga to a bolt on the frame. The ooga worked, but of course I didnt have the ground wire secured and the vibration from the ooga sound made the ground wire fall off. So I'll need to try it again today and look and see if there is some kind of relay. I am hoping if a relay is needed, they did this under the dask where I see a ton of wires and the fuse box.
Doc here,
In answer to your question:
A Relay allows you to control high current devices with a very small amount of current safely, and (if the wires are properly gauged and fused) deliver more current to the end user device with less or no heat loss through the relay device..
A relay is a two fold device, though both sides are separate and isolated, operate in concert to activate the relay contacts.
The control coil that moves the current handling contacts, it (the coil , usually draws around an amp) and, second the contact side of the relay, which does all the high current handling from source current (battery) to the end used device ( Horn, lights, Ignition coils, ECT..)
Net result : brighter lights, louder horns, better overall performance of a coil, limited danger of harness and switchgear burnout from over current by user devices.
Back to your problem:
First, not clear on WHAT this is being used on...(type car..)
Second , when you say replace stock horn..are we to assume that the original one worked?
or are we talking new column, new wires and the like?
If it's just a stock swapout..the car's system already has a horn relay..that will be on the wire going from the horn itself..you should just be able to plug the new in where the old came out.. Ground the horn wire and hook the red to the wire going back to the relay or where the old horn was.
If it has all been changed, then wiring of a new relay is needed..just bare in mind that the button on the horn ring is GROUND for the relay, not power..else you will have smoke when you hit the horn.
As was said:
The relay coil wires hot at all times #85(to the battery, fuse at about an amp slo~blow) and the ground side #86 to the horn ring..
The contact side of the relay will be Normally open side #87 to the Battery Via a 20 Amp fuse, and the center wiper #30 to the horn itself.
87a will not be used...
To wire horn relay...
Using common 20 Amp driving light relay...
Terminal 85 goes to 12 v source from old horn. Existing wiring OK to use.
Terminal 86 goes to new ooga horn + using 12 ga wire.
Terminal 87 goes to horn ring to ground when horn button is pushed, existing wirink OK to use.
Terminal 30 fused to battery. Use 12 ga wire.
Ooga horn - to ground using 12 ga wire
|what does the relay do? I assume I just run the positive "HORN" wire to the positive relay, then a positive out to the positive ooga, and another wire from the negative ooga to a grounding point ( i.e. the frame? ) Or do I need to involve the relay in the negative connection?
|run a relay, using the existing wiring to activate the relay. ooga and Awooga horns draw a lot of current and with running them direct, they may sound like a sick cow.
|Henry Highrise
|Just wire the minus side of the ooga horn to a good ground somewhere. Make sure that where ever you ground it that the rust and paint etc. is removed. Or you could run it to the negative battery post.
Replace existing horn w/ ooga horn?
I have a 12 volt system and a Harbour Freight ooga horn. I want to replace my stock horn with the ooga horn. I have a GM column with a LeCarra wheel. I removed the old horn, and there is only one "connection" on it, which is a wire going to it labeled "HORN". The ooga horn has both a + and a - connection. So I connected the "HORN" wire to the + on the ooga, but it does not work. Do I need to add something else to the - connection? I have seen messages with relays and flip switches, bit I really just want to disconnect one horn and install the oooga so it works with the horn button. I am a newbie to this, can you help?

Unit test frameworks are a key element of popular development methodologies such as eXtreme Programming (XP) and Agile Development. But unit testing has moved far beyond eXtreme Programming; it is now common in many different types of application development. Unit tests help ensure low-level code correctness, reduce software development cycle time, improve developer productivity, and produce more robust software.Until now, there was little documentation available on unit testing, and most sources addressed specific frameworks and specific languages, rather than explaining the use of unit testing as a language-independent, standalone development methodology. This invaluable new book covers the theory and background of unit test frameworks, offers step-by-step instruction in basic unit test development, provides useful code examples in both Java and C++, and includes details on some of the most commonly used frameworks today from the XUnit family, including JUnit for Java, CppUnit for C++, and NUnit for .NET.Unit Test Frameworks includes clear, concise, and detailed descriptions of:

The Norway rat's appearance includes a brown or dark gray coat with a white or grayish underside, pointed ears, a long snout, and a scaly tail. It averages about 9 to 10 inches in length. It builds its own nest of twigs and leaves and is mostly nocturnal. It makes its habitat where food is most accessible and is typically found in cities, where it can root through garbage; near farms where it can forage through the harvest; and near the ocean, where it can eat fish, seaweed, and the like. It lives among large groups of other rats, usually with one male designated as the leader.Along with the common house mouse, the Norway rat is the most popular animal model for scientific lab testing.

Comments about oreilly Unit Test Frameworks:
A great book for the developer writing their own unit test framework. The book explains the required concepts to use and create a unit test framework in a reader-friendly way. The book doesn't expect that you know anything about xUnit frameworks to understand it.Very good book
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I have been a 1911 fan for 35 years and have owned several Colt 1911's in .45ACP, but I bought them all used. Last week I was in my local gun shop and they had a new Series 80 Gov't model. It is tight, well finished, and accurate, and cost less than $800 out the door. I didn't know Colt was making quality 1911s in this price range. Cool!!
That Colt 1911 model 80 is a fine weapon. I agree that you got a good deal on it too. It should be around as long as you are. Congrats!
picked one up myself recently...also well under 800.
and since it was mentioned that the thread is useless without pics, i will be a jerk and post mine to save it from uselessness.
i guess i missquoted, i meant worthless.
just funning TODDs post above and looking for a reason to show off my new pistola after hanging a few chads at the voting booth.
i am curious how the OP is likeing his tho, i am happy i found one. colts dont hang in the stores very long. very few new/used etc ever come in, and then a day later they are gone. i think the gun store employees all draw straws after they take one in on trade. trying to find a used colt around here...is like hunting snipe. but...the one i got was also new...
Colt makes a good gun. No question about it. I have yet to be disappointed with one that I have owned. I still have one and wont part with it for anything. I had a stainless Combat Commander that I still kick myself for getting rid of though it did free up some cash for a new Sig Sauer that I really like to shoot
Heh..Can't help myself..Here's my Colt Officers...

Believe it or not I found that Colt at a Flea Market. I was there to get a pair of Boots and an M65 jacket...There's a guy that has em there and I happened across it. There's a dealer that shows up there I'm told now and then. got it out the door for 525.00. I about ran out of there I was so jazzed after I go tit..heh
That is incredible, I would love to have another 1911. I will never get rid of my Springer GI, but I would love to have a Colt..
I found a Colt MKIV goverment 70 series blued like "alloys" pictured w/1 mag for 580 OTD. Good deal?
Sounds like a good one to me. Colts are high. Some in my opinion are not worth it and you are paying for a name. but there are good deals out there now and then. Under 600 for a Colt is a pretty good deal. anyway. With the Colt 1911's you can always make improvements to it if wanted/needed and you can have a really nice gun on your hands. The last one I bought was a stainless commander NIB that cost me 700.00

Re: Using Table and ignoring all errors and warnings?
I would like to use Table function, but have it ignore any errors or warnings and skip that value if one is produced.
Illustrative Example:
Table[1/i, {i, -3, 2}]
Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0 encountered. >>
{-(1/3), -(1/2), -1, ComplexInfinity, 1, 1/2}
I would like the output to just be
{-(1/3), -(1/2), -1, 1, 1/2}
with no errors/warnings given as messages and the index that would produce a message to just be ignored. It's not just specific to 1/0 error, but any type of error or warning I want it to ignore it and skip to the next value; with the final output being a list of valid answers according to expr.
Is there a way to do that? Thanks!
Try this:
Select[Table[1/i, {i, -3, 2}], NumericQ[#] &] // Quiet
{-(1/3), -(1/2), -1, 1, 1/2}

Did'nt know Hesse built them.
A few years back I got a 1919, turns out to be a HESSE.. oh well who knew...
I soon read a lot of BAD things about the hesse but none actualy had details of the failure, and DEFINATLY nobody tried to fix the failed design. "other than and expensive compleat conversion" . well I was stuck with the hesse and I was not intrested in spending money I needlesly, so I decided to take a look at what was not working and what failed when shooting. shure enough I found a truely fatal design flaw. after a bit of looking, thinking and testing I now have my hesse running like a champ!! the repair was only a bout $2.
I KNOW for shure I have seen hesse 1919's CHEAP because of their bad reputation. thies may actualy be a good deal if you are willing to invest about $2 and some time, it is far better than the BIG dollar conversion used by most.
So if you have a hesse or are tempted by an inexpensive hesse and would like to know how YOU can very easi;ly get yours to run like a champ let me know and I can get into more details or PM you details.
I am off the page for extended times due to job requirements, not gone forever

Re: Hunter 23 questions - homemade rudder
Glad I found this site. I'm about to purchase an '85 H23 that seems to be sound. It has been in a slip for at least the last 5 years. I plan to trailer sail it though. It is sailable as is but needs interior upkeep on the cushions. It was completely dry inside, comes with trailer, 5 HP motor, main and 2 jibs rather genoas. He was only asking $2500. I think after reading this that I got a good deal.
|Wow! I think that's a lot as well. We bought our Hunter 22 last year and had a ball learning to sail in Portland Maine. We paid 3,500 and had the mast rigging redone. Then bought a new 8.5 electric start motor. The rigging was about 1,000 and the motor was 1,700 I think. I redid all the cushions and she sails like a charm and is beautiful. Do you live in Maine? We are looking for a liveaboard and our little Hunter is for sale.
Used Hunter 23 rudder for sale
I have a used rudder from a hunter 23 for sale. I have the entire assembly and it is in good condition, asking $150.
Thanks baboon,
It is a clean boat, but ultimately we could not agree on fair value. I am moving on in the search for our first boat. I looked at a 1985 Pearson 27 and a 1986 Catalina 27 today that both looked pretty good. I will be asking the SailNet community for their opinions on these two soon.
It looks to be a pretty clean small boat, and with newer sails and rigging it could be worth a look if you can get the price down enough to offset the cost of a motor. One thing is to make sure you, the owner, and perhaps someone with trailer sailer experience puts the whole thing together prior to purchase. There are lots of small parts than can get lost, the rigging might be new, but not the right size, sails can look fine in the bag, but not fit the boat or furller.
The rudder is still an issue, not only is it just a flat board instead of a foil, I am not sure if corain is up to the task. I understand it is great as a surface for counters, but I do not know how resistant it is to bending and breaking. I agree with the previous post about fabricating a plywood/glass rudder to have in reserve. It would not be a hard or expensive project.
Thanks for all the input everyone! I did go to see the boat this week. He has done quite a bit of work and pointed it all out. In addition to refinishing all of the teak, he has replaced a starboard bulkhead and reseated the leaking chainplate that caused it. He did nice work on the wood and fiberglass. Refinished the iron keel, and painted and buffed the hull. He ordered some new standing rigging to replace lines that were kinked. He says he has plenty of running rigging around to refit the entire boat for me. The mainsail is almost new from Sail Warehouse and the jib looks good. I don't know what type of jib it is. He offered to throw in a roller furler/jib if I wanted it. He also replaced all of the electrical switches. It is missing the swim ladder. Maybe it was never installed, or the holes where covered since.
Everyplace on the boat is dry, but of course it hasn't been in the water in a while. The keel bolts look shiny, and the cabin smells like it has been dry for the duration of its life.
The trailer is in okay shape, but the tires are showing some dry rot. I did not check the bearings.
The boat was in fresh water all of it's life. Is there anything else I should look into? I get a pretty good feeling from the guy, he has been refurbishing boats for 12 yrs since his retirement. He is just asking a too much without a motor.
We think that a trailer sailor will work best for our first boat. We can store it on the trailer at the local marina for a fraction of the slip fees and we can take it to other local lakes in Arkansas if we want. We want a modest cabin and room for 4 people at least. I don't want to get in too deep financially into the first boat in case we want to either move up in a year (likely), or want to leave sailing (unlikely) and sell it. I don't mind adding a few items (VHF, stereo, depth/speed, clamcleats, etc...), but I also want it to be water ready. This one seems like it might fit these criteria. Unfortunately, there just are not that many boats for sale in this area that do.
Thanks again for the input.
We paid $4K for our Tartan 27' with a working Atomic 4 engine in sail away condition 8 years ago.
$5K for a H 23 without an engine is just delusional unless they had used the Corian for the galley counter top. The rudder shape looks fine but is certainly an unusual choice of material.
IMHO, $4K is too much and $3K about right since you'll want to add a motor.
As others indicated, it is a buyers market so keep looking around.
|Unless you are in Florida it is late in the season. Sailboats really weren't selling that well at the begining of the summer. The owner will probably be sitting on this boat all winter. Wait a month or so and then put in a bid. Or just spend the winter looking at other boats that have owners that really don't want to wait till spring when the boat shoppers come out.
For the record, I bought a Capri 22, fixed wing keel, trailer, running 6hp motor, and none of these mods (and roller furling, and spinnaker, mainsail boot, and race options) for $4800 in June.
I have seen tons of the Hunter 23s in and around my area for between $3000 and $5000 with a trailer. They are good boats, and sail well (I am not anti-hunter), but it sounds like the guy might be about $1500 or so high (at best).
Look at EVERYTHING. Tires? bearings (are they bearing buddies?) Trailer lights? Brakes on the trailer? Like others said, sails (those are the most expensive thing save the motor). Running rigging (are all the lines chafed? or mold/mildew?). Look at the chainplates (are they rusted? twisted? missing UGH)... Shrouds, look for ginks, and twists, and frays. Turnbuckles on shrouds.. look for bends, and stripped threads.
I think I got the hot points. Quote the guy the price for a used 6hp motor ($600), and a new rudder ($500)... and lower the boat's offer accordingly. Then follow up with deductions for anything else on the above list that is wrong (and will cost you money to replace). Rather, deduct these monies from KBB or NADA value of the boat.
I have to say, I knew what I purchased with my boat... it needs work. Lines, standing rigging, and bottom paint. The motor was unknown (no way to test). when I bought it it ran great... after 2 weeks use, nothing. Carb rebuild and various other work ($300 later)... viola' working again. With that said, it was still sailed all summer by me... so technically it is "sail away." I am just picky how I want it to be going forward.
Anyway sounds like we all say look at it, but keep in mind a replacement (rudder) might be in line.
|I'm going with the rest of the "peanut gallery" and agree that it seems a tad much. I'm not a fan of aftermarket rudders, and that's speaking from experience. The engineer behind this model's rudder had specific forces and dynamics in mind when he/she came up with it's final dimensions. If nothing else, purchase the boat and then get a replacement rudder that meets those dimensions as designed. Good luck regardless what you decide and do keep us informed.

Recursive function theory
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
2 Plans towards a programming language
Well-known concepts are taken from [Mon:MatLog], but several new notations (only notations, not concepts) are introduced to reflect all concepts described in [Mon:MatLog], and some simplification are made (by allowing zero-arity generalizations). These are plans to achive formalizations that can allow us in the future to incarnate the main concepts of recursive function theory in a programming language.
3 Primitive recursive functions
3.1 Type system
3.2 Base functions
3.2.1 Constant
This allows us to deal with a concept of zero in recursive function theory. In the literature (in [Mon:MathLog], too) this aim is achieved in another way: a
is defined instead. Is this approach superfluous? Can we avoid it and use the more simple and indirect looking
Are these approaches equivalent? Is the latter (more simple looking) one as powerful as the former one? Could we define a using the
approach? Let us try:
(see the definition of somewhat below). This looks like working, but raises new questions: what about generalizing operations (here: composition) to deal with zero-arity cases in an appropriate way? E.g.
where can be regarded as n-ary functions throwing all their n arguments away and returning c.
Does it take a generalization to allow such cases, or can it be inferred? A practical approach to slve such questions: let us write a Haskell program which implements (at least partially) recursive function theory. Then we can see clearly which things have to be defined and things which are consequences. I think the construct is a rather straighforward thing.
Why all this can be important: it may be exactly that saves us from defining the concept of zero in recursive function theory as
-- it may be superfluous: if we need functions that throw away (some or all) of their arguments and return a constant, then we can combine them from , and , if we allow concepts like .
3.2.2 Successor function
3.2.3 Projection functions
For all :
3.3 Operations
3.3.1 Composition
This resembles to the combinator of Combinatory logic (as described in [HasFeyCr:CombLog1, 171]). If we prefer avoiding the notion of the nested tuple, and use a more homogenous style (somewhat resembling to currying):
Let underbrace not mislead us -- it does not mean any bracing.
remembering us to
3.3.2 Primitive recursion
The last equation resembles to the combinator of Combinatory logic (as described in [HasFeyCr:CombLog1, 169]):
4 General recursive functions
Everything seen above, and the new concepts:
4.1 Type system
See the definition of being special [Mon:MathLog, 45]. This property ensures, that minimalization does not lead us out of the world of total functions. Its definition is the rather straightforward formalization of this expectation.
It resembles to the concept of inverse -- more exactly, to the existence part.
4.2 Operations
4.2.1 Minimalization
Minimalization does not lead us out of the word of total functions, if we use it only for special functions -- the property of being special is defined exactly for this purpose [Mon:MatLog, 45]. As we can see, minimalization is a concept resembling somehow to the concept of inverse.
Existence of the required minimum value of the set -- a sufficient and satisfactory condition for this is that the set is never empty. And this is equivalent to the statement
5 Partial recursive functions
Everything seen above, but new constructs are provided, too.
5.1 Type system
Question: is there any sense to define in another way than simply ? Partial constant? Is
- ?
5.2 Operations
Their definitions are straightforward extension of the corresponding total function based definitions.
Remark: these operations take partial functions as arguments, but they are total operation themselves in the sense that they always yield a result -- at worst an empty function.

Billboard images don't even have to be sharp, since they're viewed at a great distance.
I was talking to my aunt, who works in advertising, and she says unless you're blowing up pictures to be billboard size, you don't need a lot of megapixels. Granted, I don't know much about cameras, but I think an older DSLR would be fine for normal photography.
Anything over 10 megapixels is usually overkill unless you're doing big, high quality prints.
That gives you an idea of what a 10 megapixel image can do when printed at 360dpi...which is about magazine quality.
more info about megapixels there.

Spaeth Wraps Up Standout Career at NCAA Zone Diving Regionals
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
HOUSTON, Texas (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay senior diving standout Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) wrapped up his stellar Phoenix career on Tuesday at day two of the NCAA Zone 'D' Diving Regionals at the CRWC Natatorium in Houston, Texas. It marked Spaeth's second straight trip to Zones.
After missing out on the 1-meter finals on Monday, Spaeth turned in an impressive performance in Tuesday's 3-meter prelims, posting a score of 309 to earn one of the 18 finals qualifying spots. Spaeth put up a 295.45 in the finals, placing 17th overall with a combined score of 605.45.
"I am so happy to see Mitchell go out strong in his finial diving competition with the Phoenix," Green Bay diving coach Tom Stover said. "To do it in this setting with some of the best divers in the nation right alongside him, that was very impressive to see."
Spaeth's 605.45 in the 3-meter was just shy of the best Zones score in school history in the event, as Daniel Pogue recorded a 606.15 in 2012. His score and placement were also the highest of any Division I men's diver from a Wisconsin school at Zones this season.
The Phoenix swimming and diving teams recently competed at the 2013 Horizon League Championships in Chicago (Feb. 27-March 2), with the men's squad placing fourth and the women's squad taking third. Spaeth earned a pair of strong finishes at the conference meet, taking fourth in the 3-meter (322.40) and fifth in the 1-meter (276.45). Spaeth was also named Horizon League Diver of the Week on Feb. 5 after winning both boards on Senior Day against Milwaukee.

Mallory Wendell, University of St. Thomas Class of 2011 graduate, has been awarded a summer internship at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, where she will work for former First Lady Laura Bush.
Wendell came to UST from Austin in 2007 on both volleyball and academic scholarships. She played on the All Conference NAIA Lady Celts volleyball team all four years and graduated with a degree in communication.
Wendell said she appreciated the UST Communication Department's emphasis on internships because it encourages students to experience the real-world job force.
"The Communication Department's requirement to complete an internship before you graduate helps you to put yourself out there," said Wendell. "I originally wanted an internship at FOX or another news station, but I ended up at Susan G. Koman and it really opened my eyes. I never thought I would be interested in a non-profit. When I had the chance to work at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Center, I realized it was a great opportunity I couldn't pass up."
The George H. W. Bush Presidential Center partners with Southern Methodist University in Dallas and was created shortly after Bush completed his last presidential term. It is an institute to develop solutions to global challenges, guided by the principles of universality of freedom, accountable leadership, dignity of human life and service to others.

They are a class III dealer and have an amazing selection of unique items from H&K MP5's (real ones) to supressed Beretta 92FS with a Knight Suppressor. Their phone number is (706) 549-1842. Don't work there, not advertising, just a very happy customer. Another source might be Gunclip Depot @ gunclips.net. That's where I found my spare Cougar mags for a great price. Lots of mags there.

Back in the 1980s SKSs were incredibly cheap. Somewhere I have a crumbly old Shotgun News with a "three for $69.95" ad.
7.62x39 ammo was oddball and expensive then, and I was turned off by the funky look of the SKS and the fixed, 10-round magazine. If you were going to buy something that shot x39, "cheap" was about all you could justify for an SKS.
I had no idea how ingenious the SKS' mechanism was, or how nicely they handled. They were fine rifles, but in my ignorance I just laughed at the idiots that bought crap like that. Now, with justification, they can laugh at me.
There's a slot in my gun rack for an SKS, and filling it will cost some painful multiple of what I could have bought one for back then...

Another Sibu favorite
I got this one for my mum since she wanted a day cream and it was on sale. But boy, have I been stealing it ever so often from her. It's so lovely, with a slight orangey smell and a light texture that sinks into your skin quickly. It hydrates perfectly and a little goes a really long way and the cute packaging is a nice bonus. Now I have this one in my wishlist as well because I simply have to get one for myself!

Love it. Unexpectedly moisturizing and skin feels soothing after application. Definitely will re-purchase. (I use it as day cream!)
No, no, no
Posted by wanderingwonderingfinding on Dec 03, 2014 | Verified Purchase
The price is too much. Is not moisturizing enough, and the smell is not pleasant. I won't buy again. It was in "specials" when I got it but won't buy it again at all. Please, excuse my english.

Good day cream for spring time. Not greasy, absorbs fastly, good under make-up, nice bottle.
Evening out complexion
Posted by positive-health on Jul 14, 2015 | Verified Purchase
I have sensitive, dry skin, age 44, w/ a few sun spots showing a light wrinkles at the time of using this product. I have noticed my skin tone was quite uneven over the last couple years as my testosterone took a nose dive where I stopped producing any. I was skeptical about this product at first, but have hear good things about Sea Buckthorn. I also decided to use a few times a week under this product, any generic scar-healing lotion made with onion and vitamin E, since it has been proven to help with cell regeneration. Both combined, I have been floored with how quickly my skin tone and texture has improved...smoothing out the wrinkles too, and it's only been 4 weeks. The best combination I have figured out so far. I will also use with a decent mid- to high-grade serum, and found that it is effect with or without an added moisturizer. Because it absorbs so quickly, I think for dry skin, you may need to add an extra moisturizer on top of it, depending on the time of year you are using. I am in Arizona, so monsoon season has more moisture in the air. By winter, I suspect I will require an added product to this. But if you have combo to oily skin, a serum with this product should be all you need. Formerly educated esthetician here. :)
Not the best product for a facial cream
Posted by MarieMR on Feb 07, 2014 | Verified Purchase
This cream seems to not soak into skin, you have to keep rubbing it on for a while for it to finally disappear, does not seem to give much moisture to skin. But no rash or irritation . Neither here or there on whether it does good but then again it has not damaged my skin either. Think I will stick to hemp, cocoa, coconut and shea butter for facial creams. Thank Iherb for great customer service.
Not good enough
Posted by LovelyHoney on Sep 26, 2014 | Verified Purchase
I love Sibu oil and facial cleanser so I gave this cream a try and I didn't like it at all. It is sooo light that it doesn't soothe dry skin even in summer months. Did nothing for the smoothness and texture of the skin so I gave it to my sister. She is not amazed either.
Very liquidy and absorbs well
Posted by Aliskin on Oct 22, 2015 | Verified Purchase
This facial cream smells nice of Sea Buckthorn and I like this brand's oil as well. The cream is very very light, even watery a little, but it absorbs well and does not leave your skin oily (my skin type is oily) so it's nice for the Summer. But in the Winter I definitely need something more than that, a richer cream.

Like, Employed and Stuff
So ... I work at a gym now.
Although I am super beyond-the-moon stoked (OMG I work at a gym!!!!!!!!), this is just weird on so many levels. Number one, I never thought that my cupcake-loving behind would ever even set foot in a gym so regularly, let alone be employed to work out there. Number two, I have been a freelance writer for years now, which hasn't required anything except a computer and a telephone. I didn't even have to wear anything but pajamas. Not even my nicest pajamas.
But starting tomorrow, I will be the ZUMBA Instructor at FitnessXpress. I have a schedule (and if you're local and want it, email me!). I'll have a class: my very first time teaching all by myself. And y'all? I'm pretty nervous about it.
First of all, the new pants I bought - cute black pants with a hot-pink stripe down the sides - shrunk the first time I washed them. And now they don't even reach the tops of my shoes. So I'm going to have to find alternate pants because I don't want my new students to be all, "Yeah, the class was okay, but I kept getting distracted by that instructor's highwater pants." I'm highly disappointed because I had this perfect outfit all planned out, and now ... yeah. I'm essentially pants-less. Damn my tall-ish stature.
I'm also worried about messing something up during class. Other instructors have told me, "If you mess up, they'll never know. Just keep going." And that's great advice - except I have this ridiculous tendency to broadcast every flub rather than just covering it up. I can't help it; it's both involuntary and uncontrollable. "Oops" and "sorry" slip out of my mouth so fast I don't even know they're coming. So I'm freaking out that I'll be oops-ing my way through class and everybody will be able to tell I'm a total newbie.
I could go on and on about how utterly freaked out I am, for tons of different reasons (what if I have gas? What if I can't figure out the sound system? What if no one shows up? What if everyone hates me?). But I'm even more excited. I feel awesome. I went from a miserably depressed almost-300-pound couch-dweller to an actual employee at an actual gym. I get to meet lots of new people and introduce them to something I love. I get to work with a really wonderful team. And hopefully, I'll get to make a difference ... to extend a hand and help someone out of the black hole that I spent so long in. I can't wait.
... As long as I can get some pants that fit first.

Phoenix Health Insurance
Broker Agents for Phoenix ObamaCare Plans
Our brokers are experts in the Tucson health insurance
and Phoenix health insurance marketplace
Complete the form below to receive rates for Arizona health insurance plans – we'll do our best to email your rates to you within one hour. Or simply call us – we can enroll you in the health insurance plan of your choice right over the phone.
Health insurance plans available through Lehrman Group include Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, Meritus, Assurant, Aetna, United HealthCare of Arizona, Golden Rule, AARP plans, HealthNet, Humana and more. Lehrman Group is one of Arizona's oldest and most experienced health insurance agencies. We were founded here in Arizona over 25 years ago and we specialize in the health insurance marketplace. We have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. As independent health insurance brokers with agents in Tucson and Phoenix, Lehrman Group has been providing Arizona health insurance plans all across Arizona since 1988.
Because of ObamaCare (also known as ACA or the Affordable Care Act), health insurance companies can no longer turn you down due to pre-existing conditions you may have. And whether you have pre-existing conditions or you are in perfect health, your rates will be the same as everyone else's of your age, gender and location. Your Lehrman Group agent will make sure you end up with the smartest health insurance plan for your circumstances, and with the lowest possible monthly premium cost.
Arizona health insurance plans come in many different variations that include PPO plans, HMO plans and HSA-compatible (Health Savings Account) plans. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of policy. Your Lehrman Group agent will communicate the differences with you and make sure you end up with the smartest Arizona-based health insurance plan for your circumstances, and with the lowest possible monthly premium cost. Not all policy types are right for everyone – often the most expensive policy is the wrong policy for you. Do you want to be able to go to any doctor without having to get a referral? Do you travel outside of Arizona often? We'll show you the best policy for your circumstances, and at the lowest possible cost.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona offers the most popular individual and family health insurance plans in Arizona and their network of hospitals and doctors contains over 20,000 Arizona-based providers. Meritus offers very good plans, and some of their plans include benefits for acupuncture, therapeutic massages and naturopathy. United HealthCare is not offering individual health insurance plans in Arizona during 2014. Assurant offers the Mayo Clinic with in-network benefits. Health Net plans have some of the lowest monthly premium amounts, but most of their plans are HMO plans which come with the HMO limitations.
Avoid buying phony health insurance! The Arizona Department of Insurance has a web page all about health insurance fraud. Don't be a victim. Be sure you deal with a reputable health insurance broker. Make sure the broker is licensed by the Arizona Department of Insurance, too. You can check Lehrman Group or any other Arizona licensee here.

What people say about Lehrman Group Health Insurance :
"You're my Mr Fix It!!! I'll sleep a little better."
"Thank you so much! I appreciate all your help. You're the best!"
"We have spent 2 months going to seminars and agonizing over websites of different health insurance companies. I called my old Insurance Broker and in about 15 minutes he had figured out our new plans and saved us about 60%. He navigated the Health.gov website for us with no problems. We were inclined to go for something cheaper but followed his wisdom. Save your sanity and call Tony Lehrman at Lehrman Financial Group"
"You have been most helpful and much appreciated. Without you, we would have perished in the wilderness."
"I was told by a lot of health insurance agents here in Phoenix that I would not be able to get a health insurance policy because of a pre-existing condition I've had since birth (I'm 37). Lehrman Group was able to get me a very good policy with Arizona Blue Cross and it only took a couple of weeks for Blue Cross to approve me. I highly recommend Lehrman Group for people that need a health insurance policy!"
"Thank you so much for helping me find a health insurance plan for my son. I can rest easier now knowing that he has coverage. Also want to let you know I appreciate your no hassle approach."
"I've been getting my health insurance through Lehrman Group for several years now. They are very friendly and are great at explaining all my different options in a way I can understand."

|Thank you guys for even reading this thread, good or bad reactions!
|so many things stand out on your post. Having a brother with PTSD bipolar and schizophrenia so many things are jumping out at me and I can can see it in your post. talking to your case manager is a great idea. Don't be afraid to talk to those people that are close to you and may know your past history.they may be able to help you when you are hearing the voices by agreeing if they heard them also. Dont be afraid, the more open u are with your family or trusted ones and let them know whats going on will help you determine what is real and what is not. A move can be very stressful and I know it was during these times my brother really had to reach out to the people he trusted and his case manager. For him adjustment of medicine helped.

OP, I am sorry that you are going this and you are NOT wasting anybody's time except those who choose to feel that way.
I do not doubt you re: your neighbours' harassment. I don't like to pre-judge, because 1) I do not know you personally and 2) I am not living in that apartment. I do hope the channels you go through are able to help you deal with this situation. If I were in my 20s, I would definitely think of some colourful ideas on firing back on that old toad and her accomplice. Unfortunately, I mellowed with age... BUT it is not beneath me to say, payback is a bitch though!

A Woman With Schizophrenia Reveals Wisdom We All Need To Hear | Collective-Evolution
Author of this site writes...
It is often believed that severe mental illness is something that us normal folks cannot relate to. It is perceived to be a disease of the mind that is completely different and separate from what we label as a healthy mind. I myself once felt I could not relate to mental illness like hearing voices for example until I saw this video.
We all hear voices in our heads in one way or another. We all have an internal narrator that generates thoughts. We do not need to take them seriously, believe in them and let them guide our lives if they no longer serve our journey but we often do. As much as they are mere thoughts, mankind has built this tendency to leave them unquestioned and to adopt them as beliefs that often guide our every word, action and reaction.
Now imagine such thoughts becoming audible to you, reflecting all of your fears, worries, insecurities and beliefs about yourself and the world like a magnifying glass. Imagine them taking a life of their own and trying to convince you that your fears and insecurities are real and that you should submit to them. Is this really an illness that falls into a completely different category than hearing thoughts in our heads and believing in them?
It is now clear to me that most mental illnesses can be regarded as tools of personal growth, magnifying our most deep rooted beliefs and fears similar to how the common ego reflects our insecurities. In both cases, we are being shown our self-sabotaging perceptions as an opportunity to re-empower ourselves to transcend them.
To everyone who has a mind and thoughts, this video of a women describing her schizophrenia will re-empower you to observe your own mind with more compassion and understanding and to reclaim the drivers seat of your life. If she can do it, we all can

Other than that, I talked to my case manager and everything.
If it does anything, I feel much better than I did when I first posted this.
This issue is resolved for the most part. I'll do my part and ONLY post a thread on here like this if I get evidence of it happening. This will make sure not to bother or waste any member's time.
Being in a new place can be very stressful and bring on issues you thought were resolved. I don't feel you are wasting my time, I'm concerned and glad to respond, I hope I did not upset you.
I once rented a place, and the first night I moved in, the upstairs neighbor starting at 10pm blasted music, I couldn't sleep. I went up to ask her to turn it down, and she said she does this every night and said she hated me and wanted me to move. This went on for 3 days, on that day I spoke with the landlord and asked to get out of the lease. He agreed and said his renters had problems with this neighbor and would probably need to take legal action against her.
If your mom notices anything wrong at least you will have a witness and can take action against your neighbors.
Honey, don't let the negative ninnies get to you (on this forum mostly), and the neighbours of course.
Here's what I would do...have a friend come over and pretend you are having the most and best sex you ever had!!!!...yell, scream, bang against the wall, knock something off a table that makes a huge bang...

Eric Gordon: The schools are improving
(Downtown) - Cleveland Metropolitan School District CEO Eric Gordon delivered his annual State of the Schools address.
Speaking to about 850 people at a special session of the Cleveland City Club at Public Auditorium, Gordon said that the district is making huge advances due the passage of a levy and approve of the Cleveland Transformation Plan.
Gordon admits that much more progress has to be made if the district is to make significant improvements in test scores and the graduation rate.
He told the gathering that "The clock is ticking on the children of Cleveland....and we must improve. It is daunting, we are at the bottom of Ohio's districts."
Afterwards Gordon told Newsradio WTAM 1100 that the district is taking the first steps in the right direction, with plans to hire over 100 teachers, and with class sizes being reduced to 25 to 30 students.
Gordon contends there's a new attitude in many school buildings, with a change of the culture, with a new determination to learn.
However, mayoral candidate Ken Lanci listened to the speech and remained critical of the district. He told Newsradio WTAM 1100 that even though students returned to their classrooms a month ago, many pupils and teachers still don't have the supplies they need.
Lanci maintained, while Cleveland's graduation rate remains at 50%, graduation rates at neighboring school districts has soared. He believes the new Transformation Plan is not enough, that a new administration with a different vision is needed to carry out that plan.

Hello all,
I have never in my life encountered a class of children as quiet and passive as those I met this afternoon!
4 children aged 7 to 9 years old ... for Native Language tuition provided by the local Education Authority (I'm in Sweden)
These children all have a parent who is a native speaker but it appears that in most cases, certainly for this group, the English speaking parent is an absent one that the child sees about once or twice a year ... so they might as well be ESL students.
(I have three ESL classes as well as these, new, Native Language classes)
The children appeared to understand most, if not all, of what I was saying to them and they completed the games and worksheets willingly if without enthusiasm but they barely spoke to me at all - only to confirm understanding or to give a one word answer. Other forms of questions led to long long silences until I made life easier for them by asking a question that could have a one word answer.
I realise that games and fun communal activities will be the way forward, and I'm planning an 'information sort and share out' activity for our topic, which is Forest Animals. Each child has chosen a favourite forest animal as a basis for further research, reading, writing and hopefully speaking and presentation of information ....
Any ideas or advice?
I remember reading somewhere that Chinese, Japanese, etc. students can sometimes be incredibly quiet and passive due to cultural expectations/teaching and learning styles.
