Phoenix Rallies Past UIC for 10th-Straight Victory
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
CHICAGO, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – For the second-straight Sunday, the Green Bay men's basketball team found itself in a second half hole down the stretch of a Horizon League road game. For the second-straight Sunday, junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) scored seven points in the final three minutes to spark a Phoenix rally. This time around, four of the points came from emphatic dunks and Green Bay (15-3) did not need overtime to win, downing UIC (5-14, 0-5 HL) 69-64.
Senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored a game-high 23 points and Sykes scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half to lead the Phoenix to the first 10-game winning streak for the program since 1995-96. With a four-game road win streak in the books, Green Bay returns home this week to host Oakland (Wednesday, 7 p.m.) and Detroit (Sunday, 1 p.m.) at the Resch Center.
After leading by 10 points early and 33-29 at halftime, Green Bay trailed by as many as eight points in the second half. With 4:16 to play, UIC led 63-60 and the Flames were still in front 63-61 at the final media timeout with three minutes remaining.
Head coach Brian Wardle drew up a play for Sykes, his 5-foot-11 point guard, who delivered with a monster dunk to tie the game at 63-63 with 2:38 to play. After UIC missed a pair of free throws, Sykes drained a 25-footer to give the Phoenix a 66-63 lead with 1:51 remaining.
After a UIC free throw with 1:11 on the clock closed the margin to two, the teams traded empty possessions before sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) was fouled with 11 seconds on the clock. Love made the first but saw the second carom off the back iron, giving the host Flames a chance to tie the game.
Kelsey Barlow attempted to get free at the top of the key, but sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) stripped the ball and passed it ahead to Sykes, who used his 44.5 inch vertical to slam home two more points and seal Green Bay's fifth consecutive road win.
Sykes finished with 21 points, five rebounds and four assists on 7-of-14 shooting from the field. His 11th 20-point game of the season and the Phoenix victory looked in doubt when he picked up two fouls and scored just two points on two shots in the first half.
His fellow All-League teammate picked up the slack for the Phoenix in the first half. The 7-foot-1 Brown made his first six shots from the field and scored 13 of his 23 points in the first 20 minutes of action. Brown made 9-of-11 shots from the field, and he added three blocked shots to his fourth 20-point game in the past five Phoenix contests.
In Green Bay's two road wins this weekend at Wright State and UIC, Brown averaged 23.5 points while shooting 77.3 percent from the field (17-22).
The Green Bay defense held UIC without a field goal for the final eight minutes and 38 seconds of game action. The Flames finished the game at 42.9 percent from the field (21-49) while Green Bay made 23-of-47 shots for 48.9 percent.

I belong to more loyalty programs than the average consumer. As a result, on any given day, my wallet is overflowing with loyalty cards and loyalty program related paraphernalia. At the register, I'm often rummaging through my purse to locate reward certificates, half-filled punch cards, coupons, and the like.More often than I would like to admit, rewards go unredeemed simply because I didn't have access to them when I needed or wanted to make a purchase.
I am also — like 42% of US online adults — a perpetually connected consumer. Whether I'm "just looking," comparing specific products and prices, searching for coupons in my email, or making a purchase, I rely on my smartphone as a trusty sidekick. In that vein, my mobile phone has recently helped me reduce some of the physical bulk that comes with loyalty program membership. I have an app that digitally manages all of my membership cards in one place, a loyalty program folder to corral branded apps that offer loyalty program functionality, and more than one retailer lets me scan rewards barcodes at the POS.

Canada and international indigenous affairs
Canada fully supports the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
On May 10, 2016, Canada became a full supporter, without qualification, of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Aboriginal people in Canada are taking an increasingly active role on the world stage, in fields such as human rights, governance, respect of cultural and linguistic diversity, environmental protection, and international co-operation. Actively innovating and developing best practices in a number of fields, Aboriginal people in Canada share their expertise with indigenous groups, states and international organizations around the world. The Government of Canada supports these endeavours and accomplishments.
Indigenous Dimension of Foreign Policy
There are more than 370 million Indigenous people in more than 70 countries around the world. They have distinct cultural, linguistic, and social traditions and are often confronted by unique challenges. In Canada, evolutions in policy and law have led to the development of ways to address some of the issues facing Aboriginal peoples and communities. This experience gives Canada a unique perspective on issues of importance to Indigenous peoples. The value of sharing practices, programs, experiences and expertise with others is reflected in the inclusion of international indigenous affairs in Canada's foreign policy.
This site is intended to bring you information about current initiatives with respect to international indigenous affairs, and provide information about important and interesting trends in this area.
Global Affairs Canada is currently active in the following areas:

Students in the School of Justice Studies routinely take internships in various criminal justice agencies. Internships allow our students to put their knowledge and skills to the test in hands-on learning situations.
Students in all programs offered in the School of Justice Studies are encouraged to participate in internships during their RWU career. Some recent internships include:
Student Comments
"I was able to gain first hand knowledge of the process of the criminal justice system and feel much more prepared for life in the working world."
"One afternoon the chief assistant of the bureau spoke to me in his office. He was very impressed with my work ethic, basic knowledge of fingerprints and computer skills. He expressed to me that my work in the office, even though I am only an intern, is greatly valued and appreciated. When all is said and done, this position was awesome."
"I quickly recognized my coursework at Roger Williams served me well for assimilating material and instruction in the office. Guardianship work involves the gamut of legal processes. Much of my coursework could be applied."

Ryan accepts Republican nod for VP
TAMPA – Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan accepted the vice presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday in a speech that set a goal of creating 12 million jobs in four years.
"I accept the calling of my generation to give our children the America that was given to us, with opportunity for the young and security for the old," Ryan told the crowd in the Tampa Bay Times Forum before turning his attention to his top-of-the-ticket running mate, Mitt Romney.
"His whole life has prepared him for this moment — to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words," Ryan said. "After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Gov. Mitt Romney."
STORY: Paul Ryan aims to convince voters of readiness
MORE: Full coverage of the 2012 Republican National Convention
INTERACTIVE: USA TODAY/Twitter Election Meter
Ryan was far less kind to President Obama, blasting him for failing to revive the economy and pledging to bring down the "Obamacare" health program.
"We have a plan for a stronger middle class, with the goal of generating 12 million new jobs over the next four years," he said. "In a clean break from the Obama years, and frankly from the years before this president, we will keep federal spending at 20% of GDP, or less. That is enough. The choice is whether to put hard limits on economic growth, or hard limits on the size of government, and we choose to limit government."
The speech came one day after former Massachusetts governor Romney was formally nominated to lead the ticket and Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee, was approved as his running mate by acclamation.
"The present administration has made its choices," Ryan said. "And Mitt Romney and I have made ours. Before the math and the momentum overwhelm us all, we are going to solve this nation's economic problems. And I'm going to level with you: We don't have that much time.
"But if we are serious, and smart, and we lead, we can do this."
After the speech, Ryan's family joined him on the stage to rousing cheers. Romney will take the stage for Thursday's finale.
Other Day Two headliners included former secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Arizona Sen. John McCain, the party's 2008 nominee, and former Arkansas governor and current conservative media personality Mike Huckabee.
McCain pressed the case of Romney as world leader and commander in chief. McCain said that under Obama, the country has "drifted away from our proudest traditions of global leadership" and exacerbated international problems.
"I trust (Romney) to know that our security and economic interests are inextricably tied to the progress of our values," McCain said. "I trust him to know that if America doesn't lead, our adversaries will, and the world will grow darker, poorer and much more dangerous."
Huckabee hammered at Obama for failing to create jobs, saying that "with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan we will do better."
"Mitt Romney turned around companies that were on the skids; turned around a scandal ridden Olympics that was deep in the red into a high point of profitable and patriotic pride; and turned around a very liberal state by erasing a deficit and replacing it with a surplus," Huckabee said.
McCain and Huckabee took ample shots at President Obama; Rice made no mention of him. But she had good words for Romney and Ryan.
"Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will rebuild us at home and they will help us lead abroad. They will provide an answer to the question, 'Where does America stand?' " she said. "The challenge is real and the times are hard. But America has met and overcome tough challenges before. Whenever you find yourself doubting us — just think of all the times that we have made the impossible seem inevitable in retrospect."
But on this night, Ryan was to be the star.
Romney campaign political director Rich Beeson told USA TODAY that Ryan's addition to the ticket finally gives Romney a teammate against the "double team" of criticism from President Obama and Vice President Biden. And Ryan strengthens the ticket demographically, Beeson said.
"You've got a Generation Xer," he said, adding that he believes Obama's advantage among younger voters is fading. "And Wisconsin became a tossup the day (Republican) Gov. Scott Walker won his recall," Beeson said.
After 14 years in Congress, Ryan has become the Republican Party's brand name for conservative economic policies: low taxes, reduced spending and entitlement overhaul, all wrapped into a GOP budget plan that bears his name.
Ryan, 42, now must sell voters on a different proposition: his own readiness to become president of the United States.
"Can he step in and do the job? That's really the only thing that matters," said Romney pollster Neil Newhouse.
Speeches aside, the now three-day conservative fest has had its struggles. The convention started a day late amid concerns Isaac would hit the city just as the convention was supposed to kick off Monday.
The storm dodged Tampa and instead took on the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi. Mitt Romney tweeted his concern Wednesday morning: "Support the #Isaac relief effort by donating to the Red Cross. Text REDCROSS to 90999 or click here: http://rdcrss.org/PSpvi2."
A Red Cross appeal appeared on large video screens in the hall during Wednesday's proceedings.
Tuesday brought a mini-revolt from a small but vocal group of Ron Paul supporters. Backers of the Texas congressman and former GOP presidential contender objected loudly to new party rules designed to discourage insurgent presidential candidates from amassing delegates.
Paul backers, believing they were being squeezed out, chanted "Object! Object!" RNC Chairman Reince Priebus declined to recognize them, saying at one point, "Guys, we will proceed with the order of business."
That wasn't the only problem in the hall: Convention organizers later ejected two people from Tuesday night's session for allegedly throwing nuts at a black CNN camerawoman, and saying, "This is how we feed animals."
"Yesterday two attendees exhibited deplorable behavior," said a Republican statement posted by Talking Points Memo.
And there have been logistical problems. After the Tuesday sessions, delegates were to board shuttle buses destined for parking lots at a football stadium miles away and, from there, board buses to their hotels. But after Tuesday night's session recessed, thousands of delegates descended on the shuttles at once.
"It was like a mob," said Sally Beach, an alternate delegate from Florida who said she didn't reach her hotel until after 3 a.m. Convention spokesman Kyle Downey said Wednesday that organizers were "working closely with our transportation management company" to fix the problems.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - The University of Richmond Spiders claimed their first Atlantic 10 conference win of the season on a frigid day in Philadelphia on Saturday, beating the La Salle Explorers, 2-1. With the win, the Spiders improve their record to 14-10 and to 1-1 in conference play. La Salle falls to 15-11 and to 3-2 in league action with the loss.
Headlining the Richmond effort on the afternoon was freshman starter Zak Sterling (3-1), who had a terrific day on the mound. Sterling pitched seven strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out a pair. Senior Alex Maffett closed the game out for the Spiders, pitching the final two innings to earn his second save of the season.
At the plate, seniors Chris Cowell and Phil Ruzbarsky each had a RBI for Richmond, while classmate Bryan Conway had the only extra-base hit for either team - a double in the top of the seventh inning.
After three scoreless innings, the Explorers took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth on a RBI from Kevin Conroy.
While the Spiders offense was slow to come around, Sterling and the Spider defense kept the game within striking range. Senior Adam McConnell made a pair of stellar plays at third base, while Conway made a diving stop at first to halt a La Salle rally.
Having still not collected a hit on the afternoon, Richmond broke through in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Mike Small broke up the no-hit bid with an infield single. After junior Jacob Mayers singled to left field, both runners moved in to scoring position at second and third on a wild pitch.
On a 3-2 count, Cowell singled sharply to left field, scoring Small and tying the game at 1-1. Next up was Ruzbarsky, who delivered with a sacrifice fly to left field, giving the Spiders their first lead of the day.
With Sterling's day done, Maffett came out of the bullpen and pitched very effectively. Maffett didn't allow a hit and struck out three while walking just one to secure the win for Richmond, 2-1.
The Richmond Spiders will close out their three-game series with the La Salle Explorers on Sunday in Philadelphia. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.

More then six decades after a tragic example of racism in America in which African American soldiers wee wrongfully accused of a crime, the United States armed forces issued an apology. The Army acknowledged that 28 black soldiers were wrongly convicted after a riot and lynching of an Italian in Seattle during World War II. Ronald James, assistant secretary of the Army form manpower and reserve affairs, admitted, "The Army is genuinely sorry. I am genuinely sorry." the convictions of the soldiers was set aside, their dishonorable discharges were changed to honorable discharged and they and their survivors were awarded back pay for their time in the brig.
the incident happened on August 14, 1944 when a scuffle broke out between a black soldier and an Italian POW. Forty three soldiers were charged with rioting and three with murder. One soldier was charged with rioting even though witnesses said he tried to quell the disturbance.
The American army during World War II was segregated and blacks were basically made to work in serves like driving trucks or building things. It was a world that hopefully will never again return as the nation has moved past that tragic era.

What most people have a hard time wrapping their heads around is the concept that higher RPM does not equal higher load on the engine. In fact it's usually the opposite, since you make more power as the RPMs rise, thereby reducing the amount of work the engine has to do to keep the car moving. So as long as the engine isn't struggling, you can leave it in 6th gear, but if you go up a hill, downshift so that you're in the higher RPMs and making more power, so the engine doesn't have to work to keep you moving. Avoiding the use of the supercharger will keep the heat down in the cylinders, relatively speaking.
FYI, the Hess on Portion road in Ronkonkoma had 93 today.
I may be mistaken but I believe premium fuel is suggested. Your car should run fine on 87. The computer will retard the timing before the engine knocks. I probably would not get into boost a ton but I don't think you HAVE to use premium.
Hey dr,
I don't. Think there is that much hoarding of gas. People still don't have power and a lot on the south shore just got it back a few days ago. My point is, they are not only buying gas for their cars but for generators too so their is an increased need for gasoline. If they were hoarding it was in case their power went out again during the noreaster. Do you blame them for that? Also a lot of gas stations are closed which will cause lines at the few that are open and most of the ones that are open have a $40 limit so people have to go back more often. That is what a useless inept government does. They can't do their job so they blame the people.
Thats my rant for the day
Attachment 99739
Mike O2z is correct. The computer retards timing if it sees a knock event. There is no harm in using 87 octane. I have 80K miles on my 2010 V2 M6 and all but 12K miles have been on 87 octane. I have never heard it ping. The car runs great.
Now if I knew I was going to have some full throttle bursts or take it to the track, yes, I would fill with 93 octane. But 85% of my driving is on the highway with the cruise control on. It's a non-issue.
They are rationing now in NY/Long Island. Even plates on even days and odd plates on odd days. No limit on containers tho, so if the line is short enough just keep filling the car and going back...
That's... not really entirely correct. The octane suggestions are there for a reason, and it's not because GM is trying to screw you out of more money. This is a high performance car with a forced induction engine, not a Sentra. The car was tuned by GM to run on a MINIMUM of 91 octane. Running anything less than that causes the ECU to pull timing and at the point your car isn't running as well as it should be. Sure it's possible to run on 87 octane and not have detonation, if the conditions all line up. Cooler climate, no heat soak, no load on the engine, that sort of thing. But the ECU is still pulling timing at that point, even if it's not pinging.
In the OP's case, if he's forced to use 87 yes the car will survive if he drives it gently. That should be fine. That's different than using 87 for the span of the car's life. When you say "the car runs great", have you put it on a dyno to verify that? Have you checked to see how much timing has been pulled? I'm guessing your car is in a constant state of power loss because on 87 the ECU has to pull timing to prevent detonation. Your throttle response is not as good as it should be because of the retarded ignition timing and you're down horsepower.
If you want to cripple your car by running 87 all the time, that your choice - but DO NOT tell people it's "fine" or that there is "no harm" in doing it. That's bullshit. In a hot climate, an environment with a lot of hills or anything that adds heat to the cylinders, the ECU will not be able to retard timing enough to prevent detonation on 87 octane. Furthermore, light pinging is inaudible, so saying you can't hear it ping is irrelevant. You've probably been damaging your piston crowns the entire time you've been running 87, even if it's only light damage.
Why you would spend $70k on a super high performance car just to put 87 in it and cripple performance is beyond me, but it's your money. But you need to stop telling people there is "no harm" in using 87, because that's wrong. I live in the desert, what do you think would happen if I used 87 out here? It gets so hot out here I get heat soak just driving on the freeway, the ECU pulls timing even on 91 octane. And the CTS-V is more forgiving than a lot of higher-strung FI cars.
As I've said if you take it easy and you don't live in an oven, running 87 will work if you keep the engine load low. That is absolutely not the same thing as saying it's fine to use 87, or that there's no harm in using it. And besides, what are you saving, maybe $4 per fillup by using 87 instead of premium? You're gonna buy a $70k super high performance car and then try to save $4 per tank by using 87 which reduces power and throttle response and possibly causes detonation? To save $4? A cup of coffee at Starbucks costs more than that. You could have saved a whole lot more money by buying a Prius instead of a CTS-V, and THAT car is fine on 87. IMO the only conceivably acceptable reason to use 87 is for something like the OP's case where he can't find anything better and doesn't have a choice.
You might also give the smaller airports a call (Republic, Islip, Hamptons)....anybody who fuels up Cessnas might be willing to sell you some of their 100 octane avgas.....mix it with a few gallons of 87 and you will be in fine shape. Well...should be in fine shape. I can't envision a situation where the higher octane could cause any harm......and I am confident that anyone with a differing opinion will speak up.
Or you could drive down to VA with a boatload of gas cans...I just filled up with Premium for $3.46 per gallon......
Look into Torco Accelerator. I been running it in my motor in place of race file for higher boost levels for years now. Fyi, Normal auto store octane boosters only raises octane a few points, points are tents of an octane.
Right from page 9-47 of the manual...
"If the vehicle has the 6.2L V8 engine
(VIN Code P), use premium
unleaded gasoline with a posted
octane rating of 91 or higher. For
best performance, use premium
unleaded gasoline with a posted
octane rating of 93. In an
emergency, you can use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher. If 87 octane
fuel is used, do not perform any
aggressive driving maneuvers such
as wide open throttle applications."
So yes, you can use it to get out of town to find 91 or 93 but I would not suggest running it all the time.
Thanks for all of the responses. I was able to get 93 octane today. Lines are getting shorter.
It is fine and it's not bullshit. Yes, I'm giving up power. So what? Who needs 556+ HP to drive highway speeds with the cruise on. I certainly don't need 93 octane because I'm not running any boost. As I mentioned, if I was going to use boost, I would use 93 octane.
Get your facts straight and don't attempt to correct and/or over analyze what you don't understand.
As Mike02z posted above directly from the manual, it is NOT fine and it IS bullshit. Stop living in denial. It doesn't mean running 87 is going to blow up your engine - although in the right conditions it certainly can - but there is a lot more to it than that. Pulling timing constantly means the ECU is fighting its programming every time you take it out. There are a number of good reasons Cadillac tells you not to use 87 except in the case of an emergency, and I've listed a number of them. One of the biggest factors you're ignoring is the environment, i.e. 87 might not blow up your engine, but it might blow up mine, since I live in a more inhospitable climate. One size does not fit all, which is why Cadillac tells you to run a minimum of 91. This is the main reason you should not be telling people 87 is "fine".
There are plenty more reasons, I've been over them already. Bottom line, just because you want to save $4 a tank and cause your ECU to retard timing and lose performance doesn't mean you should be telling anybody else to do it. If you want to screw up your car, keep it to yourself.
I think you are missing the point. The OP was asking because there is a gas shortage in NY and he could not find premium gas. This is his daily driver and be was looking for opinions. It had NOTHING to do with saving money. Nobody is recommitting it but, with no other choice, and if you 'baby' the engine, it should be ok for the short term so he can make it to work. Would you agree to that?

Thanks for the opinions. Esp the one explaining the weight of the Top would help keep it down! As far as Cost is concerned, the way I am calculating it is;- Garden Hive (Fully Assembled) Incl (1) Hive Stand and 16 Frames (Assembled) Cost = $106.00- Normal 8 Frame Med Hive (Completely un-Assembled) $68.00- Hive Stand $11.00 Total Cost = $78.00 So we are only talking $28 Cost difference and I think the time I would spend assembling all the parts (my first time) would be several hours, so the twenty eight dollars difference is worth it to me.
no experience but i think the inner cover is like on standard hives so that the 'attic' area under the outer cover is 'outside' of the hive.
Yep, it keeps coming back to that top. I really like it. I might even make a little weather-bleep for mine :-D

Scott Jones: Negative impacts of expanding Wilderness.
April 7, 2012
Senator Udall's office is currently seeking input on a proposal to expand designated Wilderness in Colorado by 235,000 acres. Federal lands designated as Wilderness are the most restricted, least available public lands in the country, as these areas are supposed to reflect the lands in an "untrammeled by man" way. Over 15 percent of the Colorado mountains are currently managed as Wilderness but account for less than 4 percent of visits to the region. Most people will never set foot in a federally designated Wilderness area, as there is no access for most users of public lands. Mechanized travel is strictly forbidden in designated Wilderness areas, and until recently motor vehicles could not be used for emergency response in Wilderness.
The closure of public lands to 96 percent of users has drastic economic impacts to communities, as most Colorado communities are heavily reliant on tourism revenues. A recent Utah State study found that counties with significant Wilderness designations average $1,446 less in per household income, $37,500 less in average payroll and generated $92,900 less in tax revenue than similarly located counties. The negative economic impacts of Wilderness restrictions caused the Utah Legislature to adopt a resolution requesting the federal government not to designate additional Wilderness due to the negative economic impacts. Wilderness limitations result in thousands of dollars in lost salary to families and tens of thousands in lost payroll and revenue for local communities to maintain roads and operate schools.
Wilderness impacts on forest health is even more critical to Colorado given the tourism contributions to the Colorado economy. Tourism relies on healthy and vibrant forests in Colorado, which do not result from prohibiting management and access. The Forest Service recently reported to Senator Udall that designated Wilderness directly contributed to the mountain pine beetle epidemic and limited the response of the Forest Service to this threat. The impact of the pine beetle threatens habitat for all species, which expands impacts to Colorado tourism as Colorado provides world-class hunting and fishing opportunities. There can be no argument that the pine beetle epidemic will directly impair the recreational experience of all public lands users and cause tourists to go to other states to experience healthy forests. Addressing the pine beetle impact must be a high priority in all management decisions. Wilderness expands management practices that resulted in possibly the single greatest threat to Colorado forest this generation will face.
The Wilderness boundaries in Udall's proposal directly undermines the years of public involvement and meetings that occurred in the development of the Colorado Roadless Rule. The Wilderness proposal nakedly asserts broad public support, but this outreach is almost non-existent compared to the true public input and extensive on the ground analysis that occurred with the Roadless Rule. Only a small fraction of the Wilderness proposal area was found even suitable for the lesser level of protection provided with a roadless designation.
The motor vehicle is an integral part of all portions of our life including recreation. Designating more lands where people will not have motor vehicle access will not alter this characteristic of our society. The Forest Service's Rural Development office recently found that a developed trail system open to all users was a significant economic contributor to small communities, and these trails should not be limited for any one user group. This position is supported by Colorado State Parks data that indicates users demands for a motor vehicle as part of their recreational experience has increased over 150 percent since 1990.
While there are forest uses that do not require a motor vehicle, research indicates the number of people pursuing these activities has significantly declined since the early 1990s. This decline has created a supply of these resources that already far exceeds public demand. The Fish and Wildlife Service found wildlife watching was a significant contributor to the Colorado economy. While wildlife watching could be non-motorized, the Fish and Wildlife Service found almost 75 percent of expenditures directly resulted from people purchasing trucks, campers, OHVs, boats and other transportation as part of this pursuit.
There is simply no need for more Wilderness; the risk to Colorado communities is simply too great.

text: Stuckey = The Macrowave. His jumpshot is officially not a weakness of his at this point. His range is limited, but that's OK, cause it keeps him interested in getting as close to the bucket as possible. He and Maxiell are pretty nice on the P&R. No real point in analyzing that game. It was just fun. Dixon, Dyess, Sheed, and Stuckey were all pretty nifty. I like the way that Flip is finishing the season out. Sit a couple guys each game, but still try to win.

Breaking the Connection of Word's Headers and Footers
Here's the scenario: you're working in MS Word and it's time to set up your header or footer information.
Everything is going well except there's one small catch. (Isn't there just always "one small catch"?)
Anyway… the document you're working on requires different header or footer information at different locations. (Maybe you need the first few pages numbered with Roman Numerals and the rest the usual 1, 2, 3, etc…)
And to make things a bit worse, it's not different by either odd or even pages—so just checking a quick box in the Page Setup window won't do the trick.
What next?
Well, believe it or not, the trick you're looking for has been with you the whole time.
On the Header and Footer toolbar you'll find a button for "Same as previous".
Unfortunately it's not as easy as simply clicking the button to cause a new header or footer. You have a little bit of "setup" work to do first.
Word will only break the connection of headers and footers by sections—that is sections not pages.
So, you've got to put Tuesday's issue (October 19, 2004) to good use.
If your document isn't already sectioned then you'll need to create section breaks at any point where the header or footer will be different from the previous pages.
Once the section breaks are in then you're ready to begin.
Simply put your cursor into the section where the header or footer should be different from previous pages.
Use the View menu, Header and Footer choice to open the toolbar.
Your cursor will go into the nearest header box. You should notice that above the header or footer box there's a label telling you where you are in the document and more importantly, on the right it should say "Same as previous".
At this point the "Same as Previous" button should be active. Click it.
The label "Same as previous" should be removed from the header labeling.
Now you're ready to make your changes to you header in this section.
Whatever changes you make will flow throughout the document until you make another change in a later section.
The connection between the footers is not automatically broken with the headers. If you want that to be different as well then you'll have to click into a footer and use the "Same as previous" button again.
Change your mind about the connection break?
No problem.
Re-open the header or footer and click the "Same as previous" button again.
You will receive a warning letting you know that you are about to reconnect the header or footer to the previous section.
Confirm your choice by clicking the Yes button.
The header or footer is following the format of the previous section – and just like that all changes are erased!
~ April

Vin Sylvia: Lundholm Award recipient does more than seems possible
Stephanie Riotto had known Eric Mommsen for more than 20 years, since the older of her two boys enrolled in a Mommsen-run baseball program at the age of 4. She'd seen both sons grow up in Somersworth youth-sports programs in which Mommsen volunteered, and, as vice chair of the city's school board and a substitute teacher, she'd also worked with Mommsen, who teaches third grade at Somersworth's Maple Wood School.
Suffice to say, Riotto thought she had a pretty good idea of how much Mommsen had done for the kids of her small city near the Seacoast.
Then she saw the list.
Two weeks from today, the New Hampshire Union Leader will host its annual sports banquet, The Leaders: A Celebration of New Hampshire Sports Champions. One of the highlights of the event will be the presentation of the Carl Lundholm Memorial Award to a volunteer dedicated to youth in athletics.
When she learned of the award, Riotto thought, "Who could be more deserving than Eric?"
She began typing a nomination and asked Mommsen to provide her with a list of his volunteer activities to accompany her letter to the Union Leader's Board of Judges. Mommsen had never compiled such a list, Riotto said, but he's extraordinarily organized, so it wasn't hard for him to go through his records and put together an informal resume.
I've since read the list. It took a while.
"I'm the parent of grown children who participated in programs Eric has worked on, but I didn't fully realize how much he'd actually done," Riotto said. "I don't see how there's anyone who could do more than he has. And what's amazing is, after all those years and all he's done, he's still involved."
What began with working to restore basketball courts at city playgrounds in 1988 - Mommsen's first year at Maple Wood - soon became a second, volunteer career as a multi-sport multi-tasker at multiple levels.
Baseball, basketball, field hockey, golf, hockey, hopscotch, horseshoes, lacrosse, tennis, tetherball, track and field, Wiffle Ball - if there's a youth-sports activity worth supporting in Somersworth, Mommsen has done something to support it.
Coach, construction worker, equipment manager, fundraiser, groundskeeper, logo designer, master of ceremonies, museum curator, PA announcer, painter of court and field designs, scoreboard operator, videographer, writer of league by-laws - if there's a role in a youth-sports program that's needed filling, Mommsen has filled it.
Tee-ball, Babe Ruth League, Special Olympics, high school - if there's a level, a league, a program involving youth sports, Mommsen has been a part of it.
Mommsen, Riotto wrote in her letter of nomination, "continues his 25-year relationship with Somersworth Little League as the equipment manager. He announces Little League Opening Day ceremonies, Somersworth High School hockey games, starting lineups at Somersworth High School football games (after which he is in charge of filming the game) and more. He is also managing the equipment for the Lions Club Learn to Skate program at the community outdoor rink. Behind the scenes, he fixes or installs new backstops, burned-out bulbs on scoreboards ... things that are often overlooked but matter."
What motivates Mommsen to do all this? He loves his community.
Raised in a military family, he moved to Somersworth as a high school freshman and, except for two years at Springfield College and two more at Plymouth State, he never left. Most of his adult life has been spent giving back to the place that first made him feel at home.
Mommsen - who, Riotto said, reluctantly agreed to help her with the nominating process only after she convinced him it would shine a positive light on the city - said he's never been more proud of Somersworth than he was on the night earlier this month when the high school hosted its first basketball game in the NHIAA's Unified Sports program, which partners fully able students with physically or developmentally challenged peers.
"It was amazing to see," he said. "The crowd that came out for the game, the high-fiving between teammates, the sportsmanship displayed by both teams ... Nights like that exemplify what great young people we have in our community - and really in every community in New Hampshire."
And that's really what our banquet is all about: a celebration of New Hampshire's sports community.
Along with Mommsen, we'll honor Plaistow native and current Laconia resident Cameron Lyle, the former University of New Hampshire track and field standout who sacrificed the end of his collegiate throwing career and the chance at a conference championship so that he could donate bone marrow in an effort to save the life of another young man he'd never met. (That effort, by the way, was successful, and Lyle - who now devotes a good deal of time getting others to register as donors - looks forward to meeting the man this spring.)
We'll honor men and women who have had long careers as coaches and officials, putting in long hours and lots of work so that they, too, could be positive influences on young people. And we'll honor our Union Leader Athletes of the Month, including two, biathlete Sean Doherty of Conway and ski jumper Nick Fairall of Andover, who will represent the United States next month at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.
It should be a great event. Hope to see you there.

"Saying: 'Put him (the child) into the Tabut (a box or a case or a chest) and put it into the river (Nile), then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.' And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye,
40. "When your sister went and said: 'Shall I show you one who will nurse him?' So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes and she should not grieve. Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy trial. Then you stayed a number of years with the people of Madyan (Midian). Then you came here according to the fixed term which I ordained (for you), O Musa (Moses)!
41. "And I have Istana'tuka, for Myself.
42. "Go you and your brother with My Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and do not, you both, slacken and become weak in My Remembrance.
43. "Go, both of you, to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience and behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant).
44. "And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear Allah."
45. They said: "Our Lord! Verily! We fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress (all bounds against us)."
46. He (Allah) said: "Fear not, verily! I am with you both, hearing and seeing.
47. "So go you both to him, and say: 'Verily, we are Messengers of your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and torment them not; indeed, we have come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance!
48. 'Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies [believes not in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messengers, etc.], and turns away.'(from the truth and obedience of Allah)"
49. Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Who then, O Musa (Moses), is the Lord of you two?"
50. [Musa (Moses)] said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright."
51. [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "What about the generations of old?"
52. [Musa (Moses)] said: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, "
53. Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has opened roads (ways and paths etc.) for you therein; and has sent down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation.
54. Eat and pasture your cattle, (therein); verily, in this are proofs and signs for men of understanding.
55. Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.
56. And indeed We showed him [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] all Our Signs and Evidences, but he denied and refused.
57. He [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Musa (Moses)?
58. "Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we, nor you shall fail to keep, in an open wide place where both shall have a just and equal chance (and beholders could witness the competition)."
59. [Musa (Moses)] said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon)."
60. So Fir'aun (Pharaoh) withdrew, devised his plot and then came back.
61. Musa (Moses) said to them: "Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allah) will fail miserably."
62. Then they debated with one another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret.
63. They said: "Verily! These are two magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles.
64. "So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful."
65. They said:"O Musa (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?"
66. [Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.
67. So Musa (Moses) conceived a fear in himself.
68. We (Allah) said: "Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.
69. "And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's trick, and the magician will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (of skill) he may attain."
70. So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in the Lord of Harun (Aaron) and Musa (Moses)."
71. [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Believe you in him [Musa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily! He is your chief who taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun - Pharaoh) or the Lord of Musa (Moses) (Allah)] can give the severe and more lasting torment."
72. They said: "We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allah) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.
73. "Verily! We have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allah is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."
74. Verily! Whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers, sinner, etc.), then surely, for him is Hell, therein he will neither die nor live.
75. But whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allah, etc.), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter),
76. 'Adn (Edn) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves [(by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) which Allah has forbidden and by doing all that which Allah has ordained)].
77. And indeed We inspired Musa (Moses) (saying): "Travel by night with Ibadi (My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea)."
78. Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
79. And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them.
80. O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down to youAl-Manna and quails,
81. (Saying) eat of the Taiyibat (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished.
82. And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death).
83. "And what made you hasten from your people, O Musa (Moses)?"
84. He said: "They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased."
85. (Allah) said: "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray."
86. Then Musa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allah and worshipping the calf)?"
87. They said: "We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] people, then we cast them (into the fire), and that was what As-Samiri suggested."
88. Then he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This is your ilah (god), and the ilah (god) of Musa (Moses), but [Musa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god).'"
89. Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
90. And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order."
91. They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us."
92. [Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray;
93. "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?"
94. He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' "
95. [Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)"
96. (Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the hoof print of the messenger [Jibrael's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of the Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me."
97. Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e.you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god), to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea."
98. Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, the One (La ilaha illa Huwa) (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things.
99. Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad ) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur'an).
100. Whoever turns away from it (this Qur'an i.e. does not believe in it, nor acts on its orders), verily, they will bear a heavy burden (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection,
101. They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell), and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection;
102. The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, etc.) Zurqa: (blue or blind eyed with black faces).
103. In whispers will they speak to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
104. We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
105. And they ask you concerning the mountains, say; "My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
106. "Then He shall leave it as a level smooth plain.
107. "You will see therein nothing crooked or curved."
108. On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allah's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allah's caller). And all voices will be humbled for the Most Beneficent (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps.
109. On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Beneficent (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.

It's that time of year again: Tomorrow, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs looking to raise funds, journalists, bloggers, geeks, and digital executives from all over the world will be gathering at LeWeb in Paris. For a couple of days, Paris will turn into the digital Mecca.
A lot of the media and investor attention will focus on the now-traditional startup competition, looking for the new Evernote, Instagram, Nest, or Withings. Here's the list of the 16 semi-finalists. Emblematic of the entrepreneurial spirit of the conference, David Marcus, founder of startups like Punchd (acquired by Google) and Zong (acquired by eBay) and now CEO of PayPal, will be speaking at the event and will cross paths with a long list of digital visionaries and key executives, such as Pascal Cagni, former general manager and VP of Apple EMEA.
Here are some of my observations on this year's theme — The Internet of Things — as well as a summary of some of Forrester's latest research on this quickly evolving space.

Zac Robinson, QB, Oklahoma State
Zac Robinson is often overshadowed by other quarterbacks in the Big 12, but he has been just as productive. Even as a redshirt freshman in 2006, Robinson was productive as a backup to Bobby Reid. The following season Robinson won the starting job over Reid and proved to be a very efficient signal caller. He completed 60.4 percent of his passes and threw 23 touchdowns and just nine interceptions. In 2008 he was even more efficient, completing 65.0 percent of his passes and throwing for 25 touchdowns. In 2009, Robinson has been struggling on occasion. His completion percentage is down and he only has 15 touchdown passes and has thrown seven interceptions through ten games. Those numbers will keep him out of the conversation as far as being a top quarterback prospect goes, but at 6-3 and 218 pounds, Robinson has the size and the skills to be a productive quarterback at the next level. As Robinson's stock drops, others' are rising. Players like Jimmy Clausen, Tony Pike and Jake Locker were on the same level with Robinson heading into the 2009 season, but are now likely to be taken ahead of the Oklahoma State signal caller. That leaves Robinson as a mid-level selection (unless he has a great senior week and NFL Combine). 2/15 Update: And thus far Robinson has been doing great during the off-season workouts. He was easily the best quarterback at the Senior Bowl and ended up throwing for 176 yards and a touchdown. Compared to Pike, Tim Tebow and Dan LeFevour, Robinson was brilliant and the only quarterback on the field that played under control and made smart decisions.

350 Pushrod length
I am buildin a 74-ish 4 bolt main 350 for a racecar. it has:
double hump heads 64 cc i believe
screw in studs/guideplates set up to stock height according to machinist
1.65 harland sharp roller tip aluminium rockers
summit circle track solid lifter cam ( CT-103 )
standard deck height
fel pro head gaskets
arp head and rod bolts
clearanced crank
double roller timing set
cam degreed
.060 over bore
i have it all put together, but i went to put rockers on and they bottom out on screw in studs before they come into contact with pushrod (standard length comp). So i put my Manley pushrod length checker on it and a standard length is perfect. Yet i put an adjustable pushrod in it and set it up to where the rocker will not interfere with the screw in stud and the tip of the rocker is way far on the outside of the valve stem..
I do not know where to go from here. I could order longer pushrods, but im expecting the guides to chew out or the valves to break at the 7000 rpms im expecting to run this engine. Could my valve spring height be wrong? It has double springs set up to match the cam recommendations.
Please help!!
1.65 rockers? screw in studs in stock location?
The spring and spring installed height is correct if it gives you the correct seat and open pressures, assuming there are no problems w/clearances between the various components, like the retainer to rocker arm, retainer to seal or guide boss, etc.
A 7000 rpm-capable valve train takes a fairly high spring pressure. This is often best done using a taller-than-stock spring installed height, and this can mean a longer valve stem, pushrod and rocker stud to go along w/the spring installed height.
Now, there are retainers and locks that can increase the installed height, and that could save you from needing longer valves- but whether you can get by using that or not will depend on what the clearances look like w/those parts in place. And that means a mock up, which should be done before final assembly- like you're doing now.;)
The pushrod slots need to be opened up for use w/the 1.65 ratio rockers/guide plates so there's no interference there. I hope you have good pushrods for this deal. What are the spring and cam specs?
A couple pages w/some general info:
• Valve spring installed height
• Valve train geometry
• Valve train points to check
• Cam break in
• Adjusting hydraulic lifters
longer studs?
cobalt, the hex head on the stud is where i am having interference problems with the base of the rockers.
I dont remember the spring specs its been awhile, the cam specs are
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift: 250
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift: 260
Duration at 050 inch Lift: 250 int./260 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration: 283
Advertised Exhaust Duration: 290
Advertised Duration: 283 int./290 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.533 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.553 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.533 int./0.553 exh.
Lobe Separation (degrees): 106
Not for nuttin, but 1.65:1 rockers? Are you sure? If so, you have Pontiac rockers, not Chevy. They are NOT interchangeable. This can cause all sorts of geometry problems... You need 1.5 or 1.6:1.
A 350 CI Chevrolet using 1.65:1 aluminum full roller rocker arms (I assume the rockers are for a Chevrolet)
It appears to me that your poly-lock adjustment nuts are running out of rocker stud adjustment threads before you can set the valve lash. (?)
ARP offers rocker studs in several different effective lengths and Smith Brothers offer custom push rods in any length you need to correct valve train geometry. Camshafts can be ground up to .460" valve lift and use stock equipment. When valve lifts get above .460", cam grinders will grind the camshafts with a smaller base circles so the cam will fit through the cam bearings. .
Is your spring height set at 1.700"?
Taller valve spring heights will require longer push rods and rocker studs with a longer effective length and in extreme cases over 1.800", taller valve covers.
It is a solid lifter camshaft?
The solid lifter (flat tappet or roller) push rod seat can be as much as .200" deeper than a hydraulic lifter push rod seat and the cam lobe base circle of a aftermarket camshaft with more than .460" valve lift may be as much as .070" smaller in diameter, requiring a push rod that is .035" longer. Example: Smith Brothers (or equal) custom push rods that are nominally 7.435" long (.200" push rod + .035" base circle + 7.200" standard SBC push rod length = 7.435").
Before you order custom push rods, use an adjustable Comp Cams (or equal) push rod and a light weight spring to hold the valve closed. Then you can check the rocker/valve tip contact pattern which should be centered in the valve tip at 1/2 valve lift. If it is a solid lifter camshaft, it will require precise push rod length to set the valve lash. Hydraulic lifter pre-load can vary as much as +/- .060" and are more forgiving when calculating push rod lengths.
What brand and part number are the rocker studs?
If your rocker stud effective length is too short and are runnign out of adjustment threads, you will need rocker studs that have a longer effective stud length and more adjustment thread length. ARP has them in various lengths. The most common studs used for full roller rockers on a SBC is ARP 134-7104. Those studs have 1.895" effective length, 1.00" adjustment thread length and 7/16"- 14 base threads. If you are using stock screw-in rocker studs, you must use stock rocker nuts and do not use full roller rocker arms. Poly locks use 3/8-24 Class 3 threads and stock studs are 3/8"-24 Class 2 threads.
This is briefly mentioned in the link above (Valve train points to check). I need to go back and add the cures for the various conditions listed there.
These your rockers? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/cs...make/chevrolet Hopefully you're using 7/16" studs (these rockers are also available for 3/8" studs), and as I mentioned above, GOOD (meaning stiff) pushrods. Stock wall thickness and diameter won't cut it.
A 1.65 ratio pushes the lift to 0.586" intake/0.608" exhaust. The piston to valve clearance needs to be verified, as well as the other things listed in the link above.
One, also, cannot overlook the possibility that the rocker stud bosses were not machined as low as required causing the stud to sit too high. Fixing this if it is a problem will lead into longer studs.
You may need offset locks as well to push the spring around where the rocker body clears it. this of course leads into spring tension checking to be sure it is at spec. when installed.
What about stud girdles? I have a hard time envisioning that studs alone will provide enough support at 7000 RPM. They wiggle a lot under these RPMs and spring loads, last thing you want is a stud to break, or breakout of the head. By themselves 1.65 rockers add a lot of stress to the studs.
I wouldn't count on OEM rocker covers to fit over all this, some some tall covers might be needed.
Setting up a race engine can be a real PIA.
350 Pushrod length
If the machinist milled the heads for the guide plates it has to be the type stud used. I would take them back to the machine shop, show the machinist what's happening. He will probably have an answer to the problem.
Interesting, 1.65s for a Chevy... New to me! (I make no claim to know everything, so it's not an ego hit when I say that. I LIKE learning new stuff). Since we avoid Summitt, that could explain my ignorance of their product.
We've found the vast majority of available stud/guideplate combos require .350" removed from the stud boss. Hasn't ever failed! Plenty of high-revving small blocks "out there" built here.
I am going to take it to the machinist to look at. Im thinkin the head bosses need to be cut about .0350. And the rockers are Harland Sharp, a very high quality company, not summit. The cam is from summit, and since there are only a few places in the country that grind cams it really doesnt matter what brand they are, pick the one you want, and thats what i did. I have had excellent luck with all summit products because they are usually name brand stuff with a differnt label on them and a hell of a better price.
And there are a LOT of places that grind cams- and it really does matter a LOT. There are only a few places that cast cam cores though and that may be what you were thinking about. Also, summits parts are not the same as name brand stuff, they are the same as the rest of the white box stuff, which SOME brands also rebox and package as their own.
The boss used for the press in stud has to be machined away, you can't just pull the press-in studs then tap the hole for a screw in stud. Additionally, when using guide plates under the stud the boss needs to be machined lower to also accomodate the thickness of the plate.
in the .300-.350" range usually.
The "double hump" heads (casting number 3991492 and 3990462) are equipped with screw-n studs and do not need any machine work. All they need are the correct screw in studs that will accept full roller rocker arms.
I thought those were the heads you were referring to when you wrote "double hump" heads. .

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I live in Canada, near Whistler...
But I went to the Alps this year (Scuol, Switzerland) and I found the snow there nicer, and the conditions more consistent (for the 2 weeks I was there anyway..) Perhaps because it's so much colder there (again.. as far as what I experienced!)
Jetlag is awful, I wouldn't pay to come out here unless you're staying a few months..
Bit late to this thread but you have one week and you want to fly all the way to Canada? It isn't worth it. Forgetting the 8-11hour flight and the killer transfer you will have jet lag and you are putting way too much pressure on there being good snow in that one week you are there.
I spent 4 months in Fernie and i loved it but it didn't snow once in the whole of January and it rained as much as it snowed. If you'd come over for one week you would have had a 50/50 chance at best that you'd get good snow. I am not trying to be down on Fernie as it is a great resort and town but no resort is worth that trek for just one week!
I also went to Lake Louise and Kimberly. The latter is pretty small and tame and the former is cool but i wouldn't go for a week even if the runs are better than the European equivalents.
I'd go to Austria if i were you, been to loads of resorts and they have a solid offering.
You would be unlucky to hit pow in Mid Jan in Revi. If coming in March I would go Banff over revi as that is more like mid winter to us. Warmer with powder. Revi could be getting to warm by then.
I was in Revi 2 years ago in Early Jan and it was crazy!
I was sitting in the sauna this weekend with a helicopter pilot from England. He's skied the French alps a bunch, and Fernie and the Rockies one two separate trips. He said there's no comparison, he loves it here.
My personal favorite is Fernie, but I haven't been to revelstoke or kicking horse. Fernie is a really relaxed town, and the mountain has great bowl boarding with lots of powder and lots of trees. Unfortunately it also gets slightly warmer weather so that could be a crapshoot. The rockies create really weird weather patterns so one resort could get dumped on, while another 30 minutes away could be getting rain or nothing.
If there's any way you could book the time off, book your flights, and then do the rest on the fly my guess is you'll be able to find great snow at the last minute. I'd fly into Calgary and any of the resorts we've been talking about so far are within a 4.5 hour drive from Calgary airport.
I'd strongly suggest hitting up multiple resorts. Lake Louise is two hours from Calgary, Kicking Horse another hour or so, and Revelstoke another 1.5 past that. You could do a couple days at each resort without having massive drive between each date.
And yeah, let us know where you choose to go you might get a local to show you where the stashes are on each mountain. I've found some places on fernie where you can have almost an entire run in pretty much untouched snow several days after a big storm. Lake Louise gets used and abused far quicker than Fernie. Again, not sure about KH or Revelstoke (I refuse to call it Revy! lol)
Have fun!
Thanks guys.
Good point about the time of year and how long roremc, forgot to add that. There are 2 possible times. One is from the 5th - 12th January 2013 and the other is from 23rd-31st March 2013. These are the only 2 times I can get a full week away from work during the season, aside from this I have to make do with weekends in the 'mountains' here in Scandanavia.
Which time of year would be better to maximise my chance of getting some major powder at Revelstoke? I realise that the March week is the week before Easter next year so I could run into some horrible crowds that week. What you think?
We have had a seriously short winter here in Sweden with nowhere near as much powder as the last 2 winters I have lived here. Has been seriously frustrating.
What time of year and for how long?
From a flight perspective you can fly cheaply into Calgary with Canadian Affair.

|From my experience the alps seemed to have way more mellow groomers, but not enough fun terrain. In the rockies there's so many resorts, with great snow and amazing diversity. My person favourite is Lake Louise, but Revelstoke is great too.
The best tree runs are at revelstoke (that i have been to). top to bottom trees. Lots of good terrain in the banff area, sunshine village, lake louise, kicking horse, and 2 other resorts if they get dumped on. Castle and fernie are good to but they are a bit more isolated from the rest. They are south.
Some other guys who have more experience will let you know more options (ie, white water and red mountain).
I have only ridden one hill in the vancouver area and it was when i was first starting so i can't really compare interior bc/alberta to the whistler area.

Then, out of nowhere Jack Ruby shot Oswald, and the nightmare erupted all over again.
Their famous blue glaze, at least, is right there in the tiling of the fountain in the shot.
The uniformed men took the four of them to a house, lined them up against a wall and shot them, he said.
Boyle shot back without a moment's hesitation, "I was fine until that jacket walked in here."
In the struggle that followed, Zimmerman pulled his gun and shot Martin dead, claiming that he did so in self-defense.
Aroused from his nap by the shot, he had leaped to the window and seen the man fall.
Had he had a calm sea he could have raked that vessel without missing a shot.
Are you, in dashing like a shot into my life and then leaving me without a word to explain it?
It was several miles out to sea, and shot across their path.
In vain I tried to lift my rifle and have one shot for my life.
Old English scot, sceot "a shot, a shooting, an act of shooting; that which is discharged in shooting, what is shot forth; darting, rapid motion," from Proto-Germanic *skutan (cf. Old Norse skutr, Old Frisian skete, Middle Dutch scote, German Schuß "a shot"), related to sceotan "to shoot" (see shoot (v.)).
Meaning "discharge of a bow, missile," also is from related Old English gesceot. Extended to other projectiles in Middle English, and to sports (hockey, basketball, etc.) 1868. Another original meaning, "payment" (perhaps literally "money thrown down") is preserved in scot-free.

Camera view sense is from 1958. Sense of "hypodermic injection" first attested 1904; figurative phrase shot in the arm "stimulant" first recorded 1922. Meaning "try, attempt" is from 1756; sense of "remark meant to wound" is recorded from 1841. Meaning "an expert in shooting" is from 1780. To call the shots "control events, make decisions" is American English, 1922, perhaps from sport shooting. Shot in the dark "uninformed guess" is from 1885. Big shot "important person" is from 1861.
early 15c., past participle adjective from from shoot (v.). Meaning "wounded or killed by a bullet or other projectile" is from 1837. Figurative sense "ruined, worn out" is from 1833.

Old Saxon skiotan, Old Norse skjota "to shoot with (a weapon); shoot, launch, push, shove quickly," Old Frisian skiata, Middle Dutch skieten, Dutch schieten, Old High German skiozan, German schießen), from PIE root *skeud- "to shoot, to chase, to throw, to project" (cf. Sanskrit skundate "hastens, makes haste," Old Church Slavonic iskydati "to throw out," Lithuanian skudrus "quick, nimble").
In reference to pool playing, from 1926. Meaning "to strive (for)" is from 1967, American English. Sense of "descend (a river) quickly" is from 1610s. Meaning "to inject by means of a hypodermic needle" is attested from 1914. Meaning "photograph" (especially a movie) is from 1890. As an interjection, an arbitrary euphemistic alteration of shit, it is recorded from 1934. Shoot the breeze "chat" first recorded 1941. Shoot-'em-up (adj.) in reference to violent entertainment (Western movies, etc.) is from 1942. Shoot to kill first attested 1867. Shoot the cat "to vomit" is from 1785. To shoot the moon originally meant "depart by night with ones goods to escape back rent" (1829).
O, 'tis cash makes such crowds to the gin shops roam,

1530s, "an act of shooting;" 1852 as "a shooting match or party," from shoot (v.).

Improve Your Leadership Skills with Help from the Experts
It's hard to improve your leadership skills when you are stuck in the trenches actually doing the leading! Since making time to learn can be a challenge, we pulled together some of our best recorded information from the experts who offer specific tips for building your skills.
UPDATE: The Ken Blanchard Group has just announced a new event on April 25th. Register here. After the event, watch here.
They are all available on demand so you can watch whenever you have a few minutes.
Yesterday, in part one we focused on goal setting, vision and leadership. Today, in part two we take a look at motivation and team dynamics. Each tip has an on-demand WebEx you can access at any time – you don't need to download any software to participate.
Step 4: Tune up your leadership effectiveness
Best-selling authors Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller offer four keys to increase influence, impact and leadership effectiveness. Based on their book, Great Leaders Grow: Becoming a Leader for Life, they coin the acronym GROW and use it to explore four strategies that leaders can use to challenge themselves on and off the job.
- "G"ain knowledge
- "R"each out to others
- "O"pen your world
- "W"alk toward wisdom
Putting these skills together, you will take your effectiveness to a new level. Watch it.
Step 5: Assess individual values when choosing employees
Assessing individual needs and values is sometimes overlooked when employers are selecting and developing new employees, which can impact how well your leadership is received. This can have ramifications at all levels of employment, especially in how your team works together or how fast your employees turn over. Keven Meyer, Ph.D., of Hogan Assessment Systems provides insight via real-world examples of values in action and how it can impact your organization's performance. Watch it.
Step 6: Bring out your natural motivation
A good leader must have the ability to direct the actions of his or her team toward a set of goals. Do your team members brag about the company as a great place to work? Do they go above and beyond their present duties? Do they inspire co-workers? Best-selling author Scott Blanchard shares five years of research on bringing out the natural motivation inherent in people in order for you to create an engaged work environment. Watch it.
Learning to set a clear vision and providing inspiring leadership is within your grasp. We hope you find these tools helpful and useful.Tags:

This exhibition explores the formation of identity in the young, by having children assume a sex or nationality other than their own. Together with the actor Morten Nielsen, Henrik Saxgren has investigated and challenged ideas of identity and gender.
In six workshops, 130 children from various Class 6s (average age 11 to 12 years) – with the assistance of professional make-up artists – were given the opportunity to assume another ethnic or sexual identity. The result is a series of remarkable pictures and videos which raise the question of whether it is even possible to identify people from their skin colour and sex.
More than Greasepaint
An Arab does not become a Dane by being given blonde hair, nor does a Dane become an African by being made-up black. But the children involved had to do more than just having themselves made-up, they were also to "live their new identity". The six workshops allowed time to play with the idea and explore whether there is even such a thing as an ethnic identity, based on language and skin colour.
The pictures which have come out of the project seem to revolve around "the indeterminable identity" – the state that emerges when an old identity is dissolving but before a new one coalesces. It is precisely this state which Henrik Saxgren has managed to capture in his metre-square portraits and in his videos.

For those that aren't going for a screen accurate interior, I'm interested in knowing about your set up. Here's mine....I have the sides and green inflatble parts from an old football helmet for my basic padding. The velcro at the bottom/front is to attach my chin skirt. I removed the metal head wrap from my Aker and attached the mic to the interior. Finally I have a fan at the top that blows right down on my bald head and keeps me plenty cool.
Let me know what you think, and....I showed you mine....SHOW ME YOURS!!! ~Terry
