The University of Washington Bothell recently named Workforce Snohomish President and CEO Sue Ambler the 2014 Distinguished Alumnus of the Year. Each year, the university recognizes an alumnus who has exhibited distinguished professional achievements and outstanding community service. Ambler graduated in 1997 with a Master of Education degree from UW Bothell. Michelle Gamboa, chair of the UW Bothell Alumni Council, presented Ambler with the award at the June 15 commencement ceremony.
A delegation of 30 top Chinese educators from South China Normal University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, PR China participated in an Educational Leadership Learning Exchange (ELLE) at UW Bothell. The Chinese educators are involved in a three-year practice-based program of study at SCNU that included this opportunity to learn first-had about school practice and educational administration in the U.S. The UW Bothell Education Program coordinated the academic activities of the delegation as well as arranged visits with many of their educational partners at local schools, school districts, and community organizations.

On November 4, Jane Van Galen facilitated the campus premiere of the UWB First in our Families Digital Stories. The stories were produced by UWB faculty, staff, and students who were themselves first generation college students. The goals of the project were deepen participants' own understanding of the experiences of being "First" and to also spark campus conversations about better serving UWB's many First Generation students. The digital stories are short first-person movies created by each individual participant.
Jane initiated the project in Winter, 2013. Participants met, communicated with each other via a website that included readings and resources about First Generation Students, and began to draft story scripts about their own experiences. In August, the group met for a three day production workshop, facilitated by Jane with the assistance of Andreas Brockhaus and Salem Levesque of UWB's Learning Technologies. They workshopped story scripts, recorded their stories, and then used video editing software to create their multimedia projects. The workshop ended with a showing of the stories and discussion about what each person learned and about what the group would like to do together to support First Generation stories on campus.
Jane also interviewed each participant in the weeks following the workshop about the experiences of creating their stories and will be co-authoring articles about the process with project participants.
The stories will be available soon on a public website. The project participants hope that their stories encourage others to also tell their story of Being First to add to this collection. Students and alums interested in creating a Digital Story of being a First Generation student can contact Jane at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Student voice adds new dimensions to our understanding of the school dropout issue in a new study released by the Washington Student Oral Histories Project, a research partnership affiliated with the University of Washington Bothell Education Program.
The authors of Pathways to Dropping Out investigated this critical topic by gathering in-depth oral histories from youth, ages 16-22, who had dropped out and were struggling to get back on track. The study is unique in capturing narrative histories of each participant's school life as it unfolded over time--starting with the earliest memories of kindergarten through dropping out and, in some cases, returning to school. Through systematic analysis of the student narratives, the study identified common patterns of disengagement from school as reflected in the participants' reported behaviors and attitudes. For example, one salient pattern is that almost all interviewed youth enjoyed their elementary school experience but started to dislike and disengage from school upon entering middle or junior high school. Thus, a large portion of the study participants were "slow faders:" Beginning as early as 6th grade, they skipped significant chunks of school over many years, often maintaining a half-hearted participation in their classes until 11th or 12th grade when they finally dropped out.
What caused the participants to lose interest in and stop attending school? According to the study's principal investigator, Dr. Antony Smith, the majority of study participants appeared to have entered middle school with some kind of academic vulnerability, such as weak reading or math skills, which led to ongoing frustration, withdrawal of effort, and course failure. In addition, a majority struggled with serious personal or family issues that interfered with their ability to be successful in school. "Typically, there was no one factor alone that initiated serious disengagement from school. Rather, a perfect storm of family, individual, and school factors tended to converge and overwhelm students, placing them on a pathway to dropping out."
The study's initial report, which is presented in a four-part series, covers the following major topics:
• Part One: Common Patterns - Examines the process of dropping out and the behavioral patterns it encompasses; provides background on the dropout problem and describes the study's conceptual framework and research methods.
• Part Two: Initiating Points - Outlines in greater detail study findings on how students start down a pathway toward dropping out and describes key "initiating points."
• Part Three: Tipping Points - Summarizes study findings on "tipping points" associated with the final stage of the dropping out process.
• Part Four: Implications of Study Findings – Discusses practical implications of study findings for schools and communities interested in addressing the dropout issue.
The Washington Student Oral Histories Project is a collaborative partnership between the Education Program at the University of Washington Bothell and Paragon Education Network, a Seattle-based non-profit education change organization. It received funding from the Washington State Partnership Council on Juvenile Justice and the Washington Education Research Association to support its research on dropping out. The Project is currently working on a second study based on an expanded set of interviews with dropped out youth in Western Washington.

The two sessions will be held in LB1 203. You are welcome to attend one or both sessions.
Four faculty members in the Education Program contributed to the Encyclopedia Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education: Cherry Banks, Wayne Au, Karen Gourd and Carrie Tzou.
The Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education, edited by James Banks, director of the UW Center for Multicultural Education, provides a systematic and logical way to organize and present the state of research on diversity policies, practices, and programs. It gives students, scholars, teachers, and policymakers a place where they can find answers to important questions about diversity in U.S. education, at both the K-12 and post-secondary levels. Diversity is a worldwide phenomenon, and while most of the entries in the Encyclopedia focus on the United States, it also contains entries from different nations in the world. With over 700 signed entries from A-to-Z, (4 volumes, in both print and electronic formats), the Encyclopedia covers the full spectrum of diversity issues including race, class, gender, religion, language, exceptionality, and the global dimensions of diversity as they relate to education.
Carrie Tzou was one of the distinguished panelist on the subject of: Clarifying the Meanings of Diversity and Educating Youth in the Humanities and the Sciences at the UW Center for Multicultural Education 20th Year Celebration and book launch of The Encyclopedia of Diversity in Education, held on the Seattle campus November 9.
Prof. Wayne Au has been awarded the 2012 Early Career Scholars Award by the Curriculum and Cultural Studies SIG of the American Educational Research Association. Wayne received his award at the annual meeting of AERA in Vancouver, Canada in April.
Dr. Au's academic interests broadly encompass critical education theory and teaching for social justice. More specifically his research focuses on educational equity, high-stakes testing, curriculum theory, educational policy studies and social studies education. He is rapidly becoming a nationally recognized scholar on issues of social justice in education.
As a culmination of a quarter together learning about mathematics, the teacher candidates from Dr. Allison Hintz's elementary math methods course welcomed their 3rd grade "Husky Buddies" from Woodmoor Elementary School to UW Bothell to go on a mathematical tour of campus. As they visited popular campus landmarks, such as the wetlands and Ancestor sculptures, they solved exciting math problems and discovered hidden treasures right here at UW Bothell! If you would like to take this mathematical tour of campus, click here!
Professor Rogin Angotti is using video games and off-the-shelf motion-sensing game consoles such as Kinect to involve students in mathematics, featured in the Autumn issue of Insight (pp.8-10)
Cherry Banks' work as Chairperson of the Diversity Council at UW Bothell was featured in the latest issue of Viewpoints. The article highlights UW Bothell as one of the most diverse campuses in the state. The Diversity Council was born out of the conversation about the 21st Century Campus Initiative, which defines seven areas that faculty, staff and students wish to bolster as the University of Washington Bothell. Diversity is one of those seven pillars and under the leadership of Chancellor Kenyon Chan and Diversity Council Chair Cherry Banks, the Diversity Council has developed many important diversity intitiatives at the UW Bothell.
Dr. Au talks about fairness in education and students of color as part of the Education Nation series. Click here for video.
On October 17th, the UW Bothell Education Program hosted a lecture by Dr. Michael Apple entitled, 'Understanding and Interrupting the Current Politics of Education,' at the Northcreek Event Center. Dr. Apple's address was well received, and the audience of close to 100 included students and faculty from all three UW campuses as well K-12 educators from the region.
"Co-Teaching has brought great benefits to our students with two adults in the room. Both are engaged with students, asking them questions and attending to their needs", says Dr. Jill Hudson, Principal at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle. Co-Teaching refers to the intentional model for field experiences that has been adopted by University of Washington Bothell, as well as many other teacher education programs throughout the country.
Co-Teaching means two teachers, a Cooperating Teacher (or mentor teacher) and a Teacher Candidate (a UW Bothell student teacher) work together with students, share planning, organization, delivery of instruction, assessment, and physical space. Student teaching is no longer a stand-alone, isolated experience but a sharing of the many roles of a teacher. In the early stages of the field experiences, the Cooperating Teacher usually takes the lead, and as the year progresses, the Teacher Candidate gradually takes on more leadership for planning and facilitation.
Tony Renouard, social studies teacher at Nathan Hale said that co-teaching has allowed his classes to experience more split class seminars resulting in increased participation from the quiet students. He has been able to model more teaching strategies for Nick Cantlon, his Teacher Candidate. Nick has appreciated the "going back and forth between the rhythm of observation and teaching" that they have developed.Christy Fillman, who teaches mathematics at Canyon Park Junior High in Northshore, echoed Dr.Hudson's views, "you can't go wrong with two teachers in the room". She and her Teacher Candidate, Hai Evans, sometimes take students' responses to problems and record two different ways to solve the same problem, one solution on the front board and one on the back. Hai has appreciated Christy's presence to give immediate feedback and suggestions. They have become so comfortable working together that they now give each other feedback, calling their rhythm "an openness to move and shift".
Dave Sage, Principal at Canyon Park, says, "The Canyon Park students have definitely benefited...through the double lenses of the Cooperating Teacher and the Teacher Candidate, the focus is more on their students". Canyon Park Cooperating Teachers have expressed to him that they have grown professionally because co-planning requires them to be very intentional so that they can explain why they make certain decisions.
The concepts behind Co-Teaching raise questions about the benefits of solo student teaching and whether Co-Teaching prepares new teachers for the 'real world'. Almost all institutions require some time for Teacher Candidates to be in charge of the classroom and to make crucial curriculum, classroom management, and assessment decisions. During UW Bothell's first year using Co-Teaching, our Teacher Candidates take the lead for planning and facilitation for six weeks during their student teaching quarter, with the Cooperating Teacher supporting the planning and maintaining some connections with students. Tony Renourd summed up the goal for our Teacher Candidates, "Nick has to be at a point where I am confident he can do this alone". Through the Co-Teaching Model, Tony knows Nick well and has witnessed his progress so that Tony predicts he will be able to recommend Nick with confidence.
At the end of Winter Quarter for the secondary program and at the conclusion of Spring Quarter for the elementary program, UW Bothell Teacher Education will ask Cooperating Teachers and Teacher Candidates for feedback that will guide development of the model next year. So far, we are finding Co-Teaching beneficial and relevant to the way people learn and teach in the 21st century.
After earning her Master's in Education at UW Bothell, Mahnaz has been improving access to education around the world. Mahnaz attributes much of her success to UW Bothell's engaging professors that helped stimulate her curiosity about how people learned and the idea of an equal education for all. It was from this passion that Mahnaz founded the Mona Foundation, a non-profit organization which consists of several projects and campaigns ranging from providing solutions to teacher shortages in India to building schools in Vietnam. Mahnaz Javid serves as an inspiration for all who hear her story of dedication to education. She shared her legacy at UW Bothell's 2010 Commencement.

The Canisius softball team got back in the MAAC Championship tournament hunt with a pair of wins over Rider on Saturday afternoon, as the Golden Griffins defeated the Broncs 6-1 in game one before posting a 9-5 win in the nightcap. The Griffs are 16-26 overall and 6-8 in MAAC play while Rider slipped to 5-36 overall and 3-11 in conference action.
Canisius is now just one game behind both Manhattan and Monmouth for the sixth and final MAAC Championship slot. This is the first year the MAAC Championship will feature the league's top-six teams. The Griffs have six league games left in the regular season, including a doubleheader with Monmouth at home Sunday. That MAAC doubleheader is scheduled to start at 12 p.m.
Canisius senior pitcher Jen Consaul earned the win in both games for the Blue and Gold as she improved to 15-16 on the season with the pair of complete games. In the first game, Consaul allowed just three hits and fanned seven en route to the win, and in the second game, the Chili, N.Y. native gave up 11 hits and struck out three. The back-to-back complete-games by Consaul gives her 28 on the season.
In the opening game, Canisius scored twice in the third and then added two more runs in the fourth to take a 4-1 lead after four innings of play. The Griffs got on the board first after an RBI-single by freshman Jessica Berzins and later in the third, fellow freshman Lindsey Silfer knocked in a run with a groundout to short. After Rider got a run back in the top-half of the fourth, Canisius took a 3-1 lead in the fourth after an RBI-double by sophomore Bethany DeMarco. Canisius redshirt sophomore Erica Afanador pinch ran for DeMarco and she scored moments later on a failed pick-off at third base to make the score 4-1 in favor of the home team.
Berzins had two hits and two RBI in the game one win, while junior Michelle DelPrince and sophomore Meghan Cuda each had multi-hit games as well in the win. DeMarco went 1-for-2 with a double, a run scored and an RBI for the Griffs.
In the second game, Canisius trailed 2-0 after 1.5 innings of play, but a two-run homer off the bat of sophomore Tori Nappo in the bottom of the second knotted the game at 2-2. Canisius took the lead for good in the third after a double down the leftfield line by DeMarco made the score 3-2. Canisius scored four times in the fourth and tacked on two more runs in the fifth on the power of a solo homer by junior Robin Kennery and an RBI-single off the bat of sophomore Alexis Roman.
Four Canisius players had multiple hits in the second game, with Kennery, Silfer and senior Valorie Nappo all posting three hits each in the victory. Kennery went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the night cap, while Silfer scored twice and Valorie Nappo drove in a run and scored a run as well.
Canisius will continue its eight-game homestand on Sunday when the team plays host to Monmouth. Sunday will be the softball program's Senior Day and at the conclusion of the doubleheader at the Demske Sports Complex, Canisius will take the time to honor seniors Jen Conaul and Valorie Nappo, who will be playing in their final home conference games.
Game Notes: Canisius is now 26-14 all-time against Rider and the Griffs are 9-0 at home against the Broncs since 2006… Consaul has started 15 of the team's last 16 games since April 7… As a team, Canisius has 47 doubles on the season and Berzins has been credited for nine of those… DeMarco doubled her total number of two-base hits on the year with a double in each game... The two-run home run by Tori Nappo in game two was the first of her career.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Mont, maybe we need start at the bottom. 2 stage means air comes in at atmosphere. pressure and is pumped up to say 50psi. the in goes into the 2stage at 50 psi. and comes out at 150 psi. Its slower building vol. but high on pressure. The single stage 2 cyl. will build air faster, but not as high pressure. Now the extra tank is goin give you more vol. its goin to take longer to fill the tanks, but when it does, it'll take longer for the pressure to run down,cause there's more to run down. As for a compressor, see how many cfm of air your tools use. If the highest is say 9cfm, I get a compressor that would product at-lest 7cfm. That way if you let the tank fill (150psi) and you start using the tool, when the pressure drops to the low level switch (100psi) the pump comes on and starts rebuilding the pressure as you using it. making 7 cf a minute, and using 9cf a min. it'll take longer to drop down. Hopefully you ready to stop for something and the compressor keeps building.
the compressor is just for my personal use on my own cars, so far i have just used the compressor for my DA sander, soon will use that paint gun to put primer on my car. i want to get other air tools too once i need them. but with my DA sander i gota keep waiting and waiting because it drains the tank so fast.
say if i were to buy a 60-80 gallon tank and install my pump and motor onto it. in the future then say a year or two down the road if i want more outa it just buy a bigger motor(230volt) and 2 stage compressor pump. is that worth it going that way or is it too expensive buying in parts.
|First question, what are you using the air for? Saw a paint gun in the picture. And, how much do you do? While your looking in Princess Auto, look at the tools amnd see what the consumption rate of air is and the PSI, figure out from there. The best deal at Princess is coming up in late Oct/early Nov when they have their GIANT sale, look for the 7 1/2 HP, two stage, 80 gal. Good for a lifetime!! Stay away from those throw-a-way Chinese one's that they have, no parts, leak air and blow oil seals and leak all over the tank. On your existing one, you could go for the 80 gal tank. You should be able to pump it up to 125 psi, wait for 'wet' air to condense, release thru water trap and then spray. Alberta is desert, so air shouldn't be to humid. Drain air tank after using each day and pump up a new tank every morning.
what would be a good size tank to add on?
its a 1 stage 2 cylinder, 2 hp maxx(or least i thnk) with 20 gallon tank.
for air tanks, looking threw the princess auto catalog i see they just have 20gallon tanks $230, 60 gallon $380, or portable tanks wich come in 5-11 gallon from $40-$57. with portable tanks then i would need to add a output along with a drain valve in the bottom correct.
wouldnt want to spend to much, would rather just save up and get this 5hp, single stage, 22amp 230V, 60 gallon 18.5cfm@100psi compressor for double the price i paid for mine.
but if i could get more out of the compressor i got now without spending alot of $$ for a year or 2 that would awesome
|Sure! There is no reason why you can't suspend a tank from the rafters or even put it in the attic portion. Just replace the air hose with copper pipe and much larger water traps then you have.
|is it possible to put dual tanks on it?
|Your rubber air hose is acting as an insulator and the 'wet' air is not condensing on the inside surface. Get rid of the hose and go to copper pipe type "L" Go 2 lengths straight up (24') and put a water trap at the bottom and another when you come back down. This will elininate most of your water problems. Drain your tank daily!!! Also think about getting a larger storage tank, if it runs less, then less water.
ok well this is what i did, prolly add another dryer to the end of the 25 foot hose and then another 25 foot hose for during painting. but for air tools this is prolly good enough.
but is 100 feet of 3/8 hose going to be ok? i got 75 right now and it seems to be fine but i dunno.
|Condensation is going to accumulate most in the first 25' out of the compressor, buy a good descant set up and place in this the fist 15-20 foot off the compressor..
Re: water
5-micron filter removes unwanted dirt particles and condensed water to extend tool life
See-through bowl with metal guard allows easy monitoring of fluid level while protecting unit against impact
Quick-release bowl and quarter-turn drain allows easy maintenance
57 SCFM flow capacity at 90 PSI. 150 PSI maximum pressure. 3/8-inch NPT(F) ports
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
how would it be if i were to use my 50 foot hose and run it up to the ceiling from the comprssor then run it on along the wall on a down hill to the end of the garage and turn it around and bring it back on a down hill and drop off to my dryer(maybe use a second dryer) and then use a pressure regulater(instead of on the air comprssor itself) and then my 25 foot hose to the air tool.
at 100 feet of hose, is 3/8 hose to small? 25 feet hose after the dryer isnt to much to work with sometimes.
the way i got it setup right now is just the 50 foot hose goes half way to the celing from the comprssor and then 5-10 feet across and droped down then coiled up on my workbench and then to the air dryer in the vise and then the 25 foot hose connected up.
|The only real drawback to long piping is pressure loss. I have been thinking about the problem - I have some condensate even in the dry Bakersfield atmosphere - but I don't want to buy and pay for the electricity of a commercial air dryer. Finally dawned on me that I cool my shop w/ an evaporative cooler so all I need to do is roll a ~18" diameter flat coil of 1/2" copper tubing and drop it into the sump of the swamp cooler. Instant dehydrator for free!
Hi humidity causes a lot of condensation in air compressors.If you're getting water at the tool hookup, you need a bigger dryer or another dryer. Air pressure drop from high to low causes condensation. maybe a pressure regular at the tank to hose connection would help. It sounds like you're just using more air than the dyer can handle. Does it have a bleed valve on the bottom of the dryer, if so you may need to leave it open a little to allow the water to bleed of as it is collected. What about the tank bleed, does it need draining. You could try building a catch tank from a 4 in. pipe about 2ft. long. Weld the ends, on the side at one end, weld a 3/8 pipe nipple, on the other end, 180 degrees from the first nipple weld another. Then drill through the nipples with a 5/16 drill. Hook the inlet air to the bottom, and outlet to the top. Sorry, you'll need and 1/4 nipple on the end which will be the bottom to drain it. You can use a drain **** ( like a radiator or a valve. The bigger and longer the pipe, the better it works cause the air has longer to stay so the water has longer to fall out. I put legs on mine, stool it up, its five ft. tall, 8 in. diam. lol
If the same holds true for air compressor lines as it does for air conditioning lines, It is not the length of the tubing but the number of bends that will cause a pressure drop. more bends = more drop in pressure. What if you mount an additional dryer by your work surface?
how does this air compressor piping diagram look
ok well i got a 20 gallon 5hpmaxx cambell hausfeld air compressor. right now i got 3/8-in. x 50-ft. Air of hose going to a filter/dryer in my vise then 3/8-in. x 25-ft. of hose to my air tool.
after a hour or 2 my air filter is full of water and needed empty, the end of the air hose still seems to get some water. im looking to get the air dry as i can.
what happends if u got to much piping? will i loose pressure at the end of the line? im talking about 120 feet. whats the max for my air compressor?
heres a diagram i made in paint really quik that is a attachment, i got the idea from "36scsc" on another thread

Haiku, the Japanese form of poetry written in three short lines, is celebrated for its ability to express a simple moment in a profound way. The "haiku moment," as it is called, refers to a heightened awareness of the world around us and how, in that small, transient period, the greater essence of our lives is reflected. As our culture speeds up and our personal lives feel overbooked and busy, haiku can offer an easy way to slow down, appreciate the simple things around us, and give us a moment to reflect on our lives. In Haiku Mind, Patricia Donegan presents 108 haiku that offer a larger lesson on how we can approach our lives. With themes such as honesty, transience, and compassion, Donegan offers haiku and commentary as a form of meditation—a moment where we can slowly and naturally discover what is simply here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Sorry to resurrect the thread, but I was having somewhat similar thoughts of rebuilding. No matter what engine you go with let me introduce you to the best $30 or so dollars the curious can spend:
Boxwrench video series: Basic engine building Volume I (2nd. ed) DVD
I have no affiliation with the company and they did only rebuild v-8's but they not only walk you through the entirety of the process, they take you through what the machine shop does for you and what is available to you most steps of the way. You wont watch it one time through and be instantly turned into Mr. Pro Mechanic, but they will give you a guide from what to do to pull the engine out all the way down to breaking in the engine back in your vehicle. They also rebuild cylinder heads.
Honestly if there was a way for every person who every wanted to try it or who had a question about the process to see this I'd be willing to bet it would answer most inquiries.
Its almost worth it to see what an engine that's taken on seawater looks like when they rebuild it. Narf!
|In an effort to sound as noobish a possible, is it mandatory to remachine the block no matter what? Will every used block have to be remachined, or is it just down to whether or not the cylinders are scored/damaged/different bores? I don't want to go so cheap that all the effort goes for nought. Just curious if it's something that is a requirement no matter what the situation.
Motor by it self
|Oh god why go for anything but a chevy 350? Parts are dirt cheap, the engines are everywhere, the process has probably been documented a million times by now and people swap them into everything
|Is there a ballpark figure on what to expect for cost on a 302 or 350? Like I said before: just doing a modest rebuild. No high end performance parts, but not necessarily OEM either. Maybe somewhere in the middle to lower range? Thanks for all the information so far. I appreciate it.
The old V8's are easier to find parts for, but really modern engines are not all that difficult. Our 16v engines have fewer parts because the cam hits directly on top of the valve. Parts are not that cheap though. You can build a V8 for less than what it costs to build either a Zetec or Duratec.
Getting the crankshaft halves together correctly is tricky on air cooled VWs. You'll need to make some special tools (dowel set-up with some wood) and use a few tricks. Those engines are light though. You can pick them up without much assistance. Don't catch one on fire or drop it though. Magnesium is not forgiving. Cast iron is more forgiving, but will break stuff if it falls on anything. Typical weight for a bare V8 block is around 200 lbs, complete is over 500- except FSBs that are like 450 depending on if you have aluminum heads.
If you find the right vehicle, and the condition of the sleeves is good, you can rebuild one of these engines in the vehicle. That saves some pain and suffering. It's not exacto perfectomundo, but it will run fair to middlin as long as the cam bearings are ok and don't get screwed up. You can probably get those out and back in with it still in the vehicle, but I haven't done it. Likewise, crank bearings don't usually have to be replaced unless there was severe oil loss or extreme age. That's your junkyard build there. If you do go removing stuff you need to be careful how you store the crank and cam. I would remove those last after you have your new parts- that's the easiest way to store them properly. If the rod bearings were really worn out, then you won't be able to do that because the crank will need to be turned.
LOL who's paying to have a carb tuned? I can understand paying someone to tune and sync webers on an old MG, but not a quadrajunk, thermoclunk, or motorcrap. I send a big F-U out to Holley for power-valves and stupid people, and another F-U out to Edelbrock for being tuned to a 350 out of the box but damn near impossible to tune right for a 340. Maybe it works on a 302, I don't know. Japanese carburetors do not tune. Yes you can do it, but to do it correctly you need to have a propane sensor which is a $400+ tool if you can even find them any more. Once someone messes with one of those, it's junk. I've never been able to get one right. 99% of the time, the carbs problems were caused by one of the 40+ vacuum lines being bad- usually close to the carb. The idiots who messed with the screws are the same idiots who mess with throttle plate stops on EFI cars nowadays.
You want advice from an online forum? Sometimes you get the throttle plate Jap carb killers, and sometimes you get experts. Most of the time it's in-between and you have to figure out what's up.
OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I know one, easy to find: locate you a mid 80's to early 90's S-10 with a 2.5 (151 cid) 4 cyl- the Iron Duke! That's a wacky pushrod 4 cyl that is not difficult nor expensive to build. Cranks can be bought for about $90 on that S-10 version which doesn't need a balance shaft drive like the FWD Buicks/Olds do. If you can find a Pontiac, it has the 2.5 with a cam driven oil pump also, and doesn't need the balance shaft drive. Those are fairly straightforward, lightweight, but it's 2/3 of a I6 not half a V8. For that matter, a Ford with a 2.3 is not hard to find, and that engine is not difficult to build either. Performance parts are available for both of those engines.
I have a 1.9L Opel GT engine with a Weber carb that you can rebuild if you want to come over to WA... lol. Its super straight foreword and small, but parts are a BEEOTCH to find. I'd suggest a single cylinder Ninja 250 though. You can buy the whole bike for cheap, the engines have been around forever, and there are millions of them on the earth.
If you really want to do a car engine, the tried and true 350 would be a good start. Parts are everywhere.

3 diet tricks of people who live longer
By Nicci Micco, July 27, 2011 - 11:12am
My grandfather passed away last month. He was 95—and independent, healthy, funny and mentally sharp, till the very end. My grandmother (his wife of 70 years), 91, is alive and well. At my grandfather's funeral services, I marveled at the number of folks—family and friends—in their late eighties and early nineties who came to pay their respects. My grandpa had lived a good, long life. A lot of the people in his community seem to be enjoying that same healthy longevity. What's the secret?
Sure, good genes have a lot to do with how long you'll live. So does chance (my mother's mom, for example, died as a result of a car accident). But more and more, research shows that healthy habits can keep you living longer and better. My grandfather had a great social network and was quick to laugh: two things that predict a long life, according to research. His parents immigrated to the United States from Italy (so did my grandmother's) and he basically ate like a Mediterranean: he grew a huge garden and ate loads of vegetables and fruit; much of the meat he ate was lean game, such as venison. He enjoyed fish. Olive oil was, and still is, a staple in my grandmother's kitchen.
Secrets for Healthy Aging:
6 Food Rules for a Longer, Healthier Life
7 Ways to Keep Your Body Young
Is the Mediterranean Diet the World's Healthiest Diet?
What other good eating habits seem to predict a long life? According to research, there are a few more things you can do diet-wise to add years to your life:
Eat enough but not too much. Losing just 5 to 10 percent of your body weight can lead to better blood pressure, a decreased risk of diabetes and improved lipid levels (lower triglycerides and higher "good" HDL). Do you need to lose weight? Click here to calculate your body mass index and see if it's within the healthy range. To calculate the calories you need to maintain your weight, use this equation: your current weight (in pounds)× 12. If you subtract 500 calories per day from this number, you'll shed about a pound a week; trim 1,000 calories and you'll lose two pounds a week. Don't go below 1,200 calories or you risk missing out on important nutrients.
Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy. Bad-for-you saturated fat isn't just hiding in butter and lard and fatty cuts of meat. As writer and registered dietitian Karen Ansel recently pointed out in a story about the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans in EatingWell Magazine: "In a 2009 study in the Journal of Nutrition, when researchers examined the diets of 350,000 American men and women, they found that the death rate was 20 percent lower during the 10 years of the study in those who consumed lean meat, low-fat dairy and few added solid fats, even after other differences were accounted for." Choose nonfat or 1% milk in place of whole or 2%. Eat cheeses sparingly—and go for lower-fat varieties when you can.

Load up on whole grains. Upping your whole-grains intake could lengthen your life, suggests a 2011 study in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Researchers suspect a reduced risk of death from cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases is due to the fiber from whole grains. Make these easy swaps for more fiber: whole-grain bread in place of white, oatmeal instead of cream of wheat, brown rice instead of white.

Hi and thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give. Here is my question? What person/character would you recomend for a heavier set guy who wants to get into SW costuming? I'm not like Jabba but I'm thicker than i think a Trooper should be. I'm about 5'10 220lb if that would help.
Thanks again for any replies or pm's.


text: I use Trilux scopes on my FALs and some use them on ARs. The old tritium rods usually need to be replced but there are instructions on that available on the net. I just go with the usual AIM Points and Vortex Strikefires myself but some good reviews are out on the cheaper Sight Marks (all use batteries however). I even use a UTAC myself that is surprisingly good.

Arthur Guruswamy is a clinical microbiologist in Virginia's Department of General Services Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services and the winner of ASM's Scherago-Rubin Award in recognition of an outstanding, bench-level clinical microbiologist. His particular interest lies in mycobacterial and fungal diseases, including tuberculosis.
In his work, Mr. Guruswamy places a lot of emphasis on helping others. A while back, he traveled to his native Sri Lanka to train clinic staff in the use of a rapid, low tech method for identifying cases of tuberculosis. Using this method has probably saved many lives, since staff Mr. Guruswamy trained can now treat their patients quickly and avoid the three to four week wait for culture results.
Mr. Guruswamy is also involved in ASM's Minority Mentoring Program so he can offer younger scientists the kind of assistance he says he got from other ASM members back at the beginning of his own career, when he arrive in the United States with less than $50 in his pocket.
In this interview, I asked Mr. Guruswamy about his work at the state lab in Virginia, about tuberculosis in this country, and about why he saw more unusual clinical cases during his time working at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota than he has during any other phase of his career.

Best wakeboard for the money
By Jack the boarder
from Marietta, ga
About Me Intermediate
Excellent wakeboard, after the first ride I could tell that this was a great buy. Tons of speed and energy with an easy forgiving ride. Definitely would recommend this board to anyone at any skill level.
Great Board for Anyone
By Ave
from Louisiana
I got this board (139cm) in a package deal with ronix divide bindings. The board works great and I definitely recommend leaving the removable fins ON for beginners as it helped me tremendously. I am 6'2" 195 lbs and this board does well for me. The reason I didn't get a bigger board like a 144, is because this is is a community board. It works great for everyone.
Great Board! Super Intuitive
By Timbo
from Seattle, WA
This board is great right out of the box! First time ever wakeboarding and got up just fine with this board. The 144 fits me perfectly (200 lbs) as well as other friends. Handles rough water decently and gets a great pop and cut. Can't wait to see how it goes without fins on.
Great board

For those who follow the S05 of TWD, I read in Time Culture today on Twitter.
The Walking Dead was extremely gory last night, more than usual. OMG *-*
Spend," episode 14 of the fifth season of The Walking Dead, doesn't skimp on the gore. Perhaps the title is a nod to what the producers anticipated having to do to pull off so many stomach-churning (also, stomach-dismembering) visual effects. Or perhaps it's a nod to the writers' willingness to let blood toward the end of a season. Whatever the case, this isn't one to watch while eating.
The group is now more or less fully integrated with the Alexandria community. Daryl is out recruiting. Abraham is working on the construction gang. Noah wants to be an architect. Maggie is part of the town government. Glenn, Tara, and Eugene are doing scavenging runs. And Rick and Carol are preoccupied with the mundane whodunnits of small-town life.

Has anyone got any tips for planning a successful self-retreat?
Links to other sites / guides also gratefully received.
I live on a forest-covered mountainside, complete with small stream and valley. It's the perfect place for a self-retreat.
I plan to set up the small yurt I have, stock up on muesli and easy-to-prepare food, and meditate for a week or so.
Meditating both inside the yurt and outside if the weather allows.
I'm a hiker from way-back, so I know the nuts and bolts of outdoor living... but just looking for other tips...
I've done six 10-day retreats, so I'm not a total retreat-noob...
I suppose a strict timetable would help...
Eating just once a day...
A campfire would be nice, but a distraction I think. It's warm enough here to go without a fire anyway.
I could take an MP3 player and listen to a nightly dhamma talk... do you know of a series of talks suitable for that kind of situation? Continuity of talks from night-to-night is good.
General suggestions?
My apologies for posting this on another forum site too. But that way more brains can lend their knowledge to the matter.

Marine Grade Plywood?
Well, for whatever it''s worth, I think I have selected a first design. The one I intend to build this summer is the "Breeze Baby" from the svenson''s site.
It''s likely a crappy little boat... in fact, it''s little more than a rowboat with a sail. However, it appears to be very simple, has more seating and offers a dryer ride than my sailfish and even if it doesn''t last 10 years, it might be a good way to "get my feet wet" so to speak... without it being a large project.
I figure that if I start out with a small, simple project like this one, then over the winter and next spring, perhaps I''ll have a better notion of what I''m looking at with a bigger project.
Marine Grade Plywood?
"Has sailing tech changed so much in the last 60 years or were these just crappy boats to begin with?"
At some level the answer is ''yes'' to both of these. Hull forms and rigs and evolved dramatically in ways that improve seaworthiness, ease of handling, motion comfort, and performance. BUT beyond that, these were really poor designs for their day.
The better D.I.Y. designs of that era came from magazines like ''Rudder'' and ''Field and Stream''. These magazines published designs ranging in quality from amazingly good to pretty bizarre. Many of the designs in these magazines came from the boards of designers of the caliber of Atkins, Crocker, John Hanna, Winslow Warner, Fredrick Geiger, Clinton Crane, Starling Burgess, and L.F.Herreshoff.
But most of the designs on the Svensen site are ''public domain'' designs that were prepared by unknown designers. The price of drawings are cheap compared to the hard costs of building a boat. It really makes sense to pick a good design even if you have to pay for it.
That said there are a bunch of good designs out there for free or nearly free it is just a matter of sorting them out.
Marine Grade Plywood?
Has sailing tech changed so much in the last 60 years or were these just crappy boats to begin with?
Personally, I always thought the Gypsy design was kinda cute if slow... but I''ve been extensively lectured on the evils of full-keel boats.
Marine Grade Plywood?
I would say that all three of these designs are very dated and would take a lot of effort to build only to produce very mediocre boats. Of the pocket cruisers on the Svensen site, the one that looks most like a decent boat that would be reasonably easy to build is the 22 foot sharpie called the Southwind (labled ''south'' in their link). This is a pretty traditional sharpie design.
Marine Grade Plywood?
On the svensons page, would anyone care to express opinions on the Blue Moon, Gypsy, and Star-lite designs... with a thought to possibly using the Blue Moon as a starter boat since it''s smaller and I''m guessing easier to handle for a single person.
Marine Grade Plywood?
OK, yeah, it''s the svensons site that I''ve been to before.
I had copied out both the starlight and the moonlight plans. Neat site!
Marine Grade Plywood?
Thanks for the leads on boat designs. I shall have to look through them as time permits and when I select one, I''ll likely ask for opinions on it.
If the boat I choose is small enough and the marine ply available at a price I can manage, I certainly intend to have the good sense to use it! ;-)
Thanks greatly for the help... and I''ll let you know when a design is selected so I can get some feedback on my choice.
Marine Grade Plywood?
Hi Scott,
Late lunch today......There are a variety of boat designs in the ''public domain''. Most of these are older designs from the 1940''s through 1960''s that were published in now defunct magazines. Some of these were reasonably good designs, but many were not very good designs even by the standard of their day and are very poor designs when viewed by today''s standards.
I think that you may be referring to Svensens free boat plans. http://www.svensons.com/boat/
I find most of the boats on that site not all that great a design. One design that does appeal to me is the 22 foot sharpie, ''Southwind'', although I suspect it would not be the most idiot proof boat to sail.
Here is another site with a bunch of older plans. I thought that ''Coot'' was a pretty neat little boat.
In a similar veign, you might see if you can find a public domain set of drawings for Commodore Ralph Munroe''s ''Lifeboat Sharpie Egret''. This has always seemed to be a neat design. WoodenBoat magazine sells a nice set of proprietary drawinsg for the Egret.
In a more modern veign I thought that this was a very nice 26 footer for which very detailed free plans were available. http://www.boatdesign.net/nyd/K800/
BTW I happened onto the Boat Builder Central site: http://plywood.e-boat.net/categories.php
They have 1/4" marine grade Meranti for $27 per sheet. In other words that would add roughly $120 to the project over non-marine ext fir plywood. I really do not see how you can decide not to use marine ply when you consider the over cost and time involved in your project.
Marine Grade Plywood?
Actually, at this point, I''m considering going with some advice I was given awhile back and purchasing the plans for a small boat something like the 18 footer currently on Tony''s webpage.
Having the actual layout and dimensions would likely be so much easier for me than having to do some educated guessing. The results would likely be sooo much better.
Though, if I recall correctly, there are some free wooden boat plans out there... some of which I took the time to copy.
By spring, I should have things all prepared and worked out! Now I just need to track down a trailer to get my sailfish to water and I''m all set ;-)
Marine Grade Plywood?
Hi Scott,
Tony is an old friend of mine. We met probably 15 years ago at a small boat festival. He is really blessed with that rare combination of an artist''s eye and the ability to deal with the complex technology involved in designing and building boats. (Tony is that rare designer who has both designed and built boats with his own hands and so understands the impact of a design decision on the poor bloke that has to actually build what was drawn.)
Tony and I have enjoyed many a happy hour in lively discussion. Our ideas about yacht design come from very different directions. Sometimes our ideas are very close and at other times they represent the opposite ends of the spectrum. I was honored to be included in Tony''s book, ''Designer and Client'', as one of the clients. The chapter for better or worse reflects some of our differences in design philosophy. For many years Tony would send me his ''works in progress'' so that we could kick around ideas but we have not been doing that for some time now.
He has a number of stock plans that might suit your objects and certainly would be an excellent source to turn to for a quality design.
