Have you tried using deauth?My problem: the read packet count goes up, but I get 0 ARP requests and 0 Acks...sent packets, 0, after trying injection.
Hi all. I finally ordered and recieved the old Alfa.
But I am stuck at injection. I associate just fine...
My problem: the read packet count goes up, but I get 0 ARP requests and 0 Acks...sent packets, 0, after trying injection.
Injection test says injection is working, as seen here:

18:49:07 Injection is working!

Not sure if there are tutorials for the alfa anywhere here, specifically, I am searching but probably missing them. I will continue to look.
I was going to get the new Alfa, but the distributor said they tested it and it's not so hot...
One more question: with the Alfa, do I need to set my mac to the same as the ap's mac?
*I'm a girl, not a guy. Why do I care? The same reason a guy would care if he was constantly thought of as a girl...*
Have you tried using deauth?My problem: the read packet count goes up, but I get 0 ARP requests and 0 Acks...sent packets, 0, after trying injection.
First of all, which tutorial are you following?
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough -- Albert Einstein
I would have added it but I have less than 15 posts so I couldn't LOL.
I do understand the process, as best I can...but there is always room for misunderstanding as I am not a programmer or anything. So I read and understand as much as I can, but I know I'm not ever going to be an expert I do find this stuff very interesting, and I am trying to learn. I do read the official ng pages. The first time I ever did crack my router it was from reading them, not tutorials. So please forgive me if I end up sound stupid - I went through this when I switched to linux from Windows for 2 years...distro-hopping, but it was different because I gave up Windows for real, so the learning was necessary because I was risking my data, pictures, movies, and all by not understanding when I installed. Did I understand linux? Well, I understand the basicas and I can get by. But I still get things wrong sometimes.
At first I thought perhaps I am too far from the AP (it's across the apartment) but I wonder if that is not the case. I can see the network fairly strong in Kismet, and on my Windows laptop. Yet, 0 ARP. I can auth/deauth successfully. Fragment attacks don't work, they just get 0 replies from the router.
The only way I can get ARP's is by trying to connect (with the wrong pass) to the router through my Windows laptop. Then, the ARP's start going, up to 3, and I get maybe 50 to 100 ivs, then it slows down and stops. Only when I do that, do they go up, by about 100 each time. Of course, I can't sit at the laptop and do that over and over again to get 1,000,000 LOL!
I have tried a lot of aireplay attacks, and all of them respond as if I am too far away (same apartment, about 1,000 sq foot, and it's on the other side). Yet it shows as very strong in Kismet and airodump. So I am thinking the new Linksys we have is not vulnerable or is ignoring my requests. Yet I wonder why it ignores them from me but responds to the Windows computer. That is the part I do not understand, because I can successfully associate from BT3 or BT4.
The reason I asked about the mac was because a few years ago I remember having to do some mac spoofing, in order to get my unsupported wifi card to work. Back then I didn't have injection, either.
I didn't think I would have to on this, but a few tutorials I've read are going into macchanger -mac and changing the mac....so I just wanted to ask and see if I was missing something. Thanks for clearing it up.
We can get our old crappy router cracked in about half an hour, but the new linksys is a WRT54G2, and it's set on WEP (we thought that would be easy!) but it seems to either not respond to us (I can spend forever on different attacks and it does not give any more ivs unless I try to connect through windows). I guess this is a good thing for our router! It must be ignoring my requests...even though I can successfully associate with it.
But we use WPA anyway for our real network. I was just wondering if it was something I was doing wrong, but I read that some routers now are not so vulnerable to aireplay attacks.
Since I can successfully crack the old one I'll assume my card (the Alfa) is working fine. I know I will have more questions as I progress, though.
Instead of spending all day laying more cable so I could put my AP closer to my main computer, I spent all day (okay an hour) installing BT4 onto my lappy. I was going to use BT3 but I ended up going for the installer instead. So now I have a dual boot and it's working great.
My apartment was built in the 60's. All the outlets we have are two prong, ungrounded crap.... we replaced a few outlets so we could have modern appliances LOL.
Anyway we have (count em) one phone jack and one in for cable. Woo. The router is in the living room.
Now that I move my lappy closer the Alfa works wonderfully. I figured either that was it or I was misunderstanding. Thanks so much for all your help guys.

False Claims by McIntyre and McKitrick regarding the Mann et al. (1998) reconstruction
As discussed above, MM incorrectly truncated the PC basis set at only 2 PC series based on a failure to apply standard selection rules to determine the number of PC series that should be retained in the analysis. Five, rather than two PC series, are indicated by application of standard selection rules if using the MM, rather than MBH98, centering convention to represent the North American ITRDB data. If these five series are retained as predictors, essentially the same temperature reconstruction as MBH98 is recovered (Figure 2).
To address the other spurious criticisms of MM, a 1902-1971 calibration interval was employed in this analysis to avoid any infilled missing proxy data between 1972 and 1980, and the 'St Anne River ' series challenged by MM (due to 4 infilled missing values from AD 1400-1403) was eliminated. The standard measure of reconstructive skill, the 'reduction of error' metric ('RE') used by MBH98, was used to evaluate the fidelity of the resulting reconstruction using 19th century instrumental data that are independent of the calibration (RE<0 exhibits no skill, while RE= -1 is the average value for a random estimate). This evaluation indicates a clearly skillful though modestly lower verification resolved variance than in MBH98 (RE=0.22 vs. RE=0.51).
FIGURE 2. Reconstruction using MM centering convention and retaining first 5 PCs of North American ITRDB data (red: only AD 1400-1600 interval during which MM claim to produce a significantly different reconstruction from MBH98 is shown) , along w/ MBH98 reconstruction (blue).
We further show that the entire issue raised by MM regarding the centering convention used in PCA is spurious by demonstrating that similar results are produced whether or not proxy networks are represented using PCA at all (Figure 3). We performed the reconstruction employing all 95 proxy indicators available in the MBH98 proxy network back to AD 1400 individually (rather than using any PC series to represent these indicators). We begin the reconstruction at the date AD 1404, avoiding the infilled missing values from AD 1400-1403 in the 'St. Anne' Northern Treeline tree ring series. As above, a 1902-1971 calibration period was used to avoid address the issue of missing values in some proxy series between 1972 and 1980. Each proxy record was standardized to have unit variance and zero mean over a 1902-1971 calibration period, and equal weight was applied to all proxy records in the analysis. We performed an additional analysis back to AD 1400 eliminating the 'St. Anne' Series entirely (Figure 3). Both analyses yield a reconstructed Northern Hemisphere mean temperature history quite similar to that of MBH98, and demonstrate skill against independent 19th century instrumental (2) data (RE=0.39, 0.33, respectively – only moderately lower than the MBH98 result RE=0.51). The central 'hockey stick' result of MBH98 is thus quite clearly seen to be robust to the specious criticisms raised by MM with regard to the centering convention used in the PCA of proxy data networks or the infilling of missing values in certain proxy series.
FIGURE 3. Comparison of MBH98 reconstruction from AD 1400-1980 with alternative reconstructions from AD 1400-1971 based on the direct use of the individual 95 proxy series available back to AD 1404 (yellow), and the 94 proxy series (all 95 series except the 'St Anne' series discussed above) available back to AD 1400 (green). Shown for comparison is the instrumental NH annual mean record 1856-1980 (red). The MBH98 reconstruction was based on a 'stepwise' approach employing increasingly more proxy data over time, while the other two reconstructions, for simplicity, are performed with the same ('frozen') proxy network over the entire interval.

4l65e rebuild
Hi everyone,
I recently pulled my 4l65e transmission from a 2006 Escalade to rebuild because I lost reverse. I scowered over many sites and threads on the web searching for help and guidance from posts as I had never done this before. Found some real good info on this site and it was instrumental in guiding my rebuild. This is not a hotrod but a everyday driver so I was not trying to beef it up to be high HP capable but I did want a improved build. I replaced all the clutch packs with upgraded frictions /steels and used a wide band with a new reverse input housing and upgraded the sun shell to the beast and replaced my pump with a used unit that i went through to make sure it had everything that was needed and was in proper working condition. These things along with all the seals and some replaced bonded seal pistons and accumulator pistons and seals and orings .
I just got the think back in operation and I have some issues.After the fluid fill I took it for it maiden excursion around the bloc and then back to check the fluid level and everything was working like a dream. Since the fluid was fine I took it out again to just drive it easy a bit to make sure all was well. In short order I found that the transmission became reluctant to downshift back to 1st gear when comming to a stop. it appeared stuck in second at that point with no upshifr to 3rd. Now I can manually shift through all the gears fine but the transmission will not shift on it own in D. It initally runs great until it warms up it seems and then is when it starts acting this way.
I have had a couple people tell me to check the 2-4 servo travel to make sure that the band is not too tight. Being a novice I did not do this when I had the tranny out of the truck. But Im just learning here. Anywho .... I wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this as a solution or any other things that may be more appropriate to check. I hope I can get the servo out while it is still in the truck. It does seem cramped in its location.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I measured the travel on the 2-4 servo and found it to be shorter than spec and therefore I ground off enough to get it at least into the spec range of 75-125 thousandths. I think I am in the middle of the range now. I did a test drive at this setting and found that the only thing I had accomplished was to prolong the length of time that it took to begin displaying the symptoms again. Which are refusing to downshift back to 1st gear when you stop. It goes to 2nd and will start in 2nd and will not upshift. I can manually ghet first and 2nd but no 3rd. Reverse works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Anyone got any ideas on this? Im going to look at the servo pin again and see if I got enough off and maybe take a bit mor but I am at a loss for what to do next.
I would scan the system with a proper scanner for live data feed. See if the trans is commanded to shift correctly or not.
the same scanner should be able to manually command the transmission to verify commands are traveling through the chassis wire harness
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Hi Crosley. Thanks for your input. I talked to a tranny shop yesterday and found one to do a scan. I do not know i fthey have the capability to do the type of scan you speak of though. Is this a tool capability that they all have?
I test drove the truck again yesterday and discovered something new about this issue. I had driven the truck for about 5 minutes or so when the truck started doint the same thain again. Not downshifting or upshifting and just stuck in second. I stoped to find something that was rolling around in the back and making a racket. I turned the truck off and about a nimute or less later cranked it back up and the truck was running properly again. No longer stuck in second. Could the computer have reset itself or something? That still does not tell me why it starts sticking in second gear in the first place though.
Shut down and a restart can reset a mild failure.
Scanners are not created equal. You need a proper scanner for live data stream from the vehicle to see what the PCM is telling the transmission to do. A 'code reader' is not useful for what you need to do.
You may simply have a problem with ground wires. Dirty grounds, corroded, loose. You may have a problem with the connector at the transmission. Dirty, bent pins, corroded.
You may have faulty solenoids. Were all electronics replaced during the repair?
Since you are a novice and did this repair using internet knowledge, anything may have been done incorrectly from a simple thing to complicated.
If you can determine the vehicle system is telling the trans the proper signals, you can narrow down the failure to a mechanical one inside the transmission. The electronics and mechanical parts of the trans must each be looked at to narrow down the cause
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Thanks for the reply. The rebuild used a kit of the following:
Raybestos Blue Plate frictions in forward and overrun
Raybestos GPZ105 frictions in 3-4 clutch
High static OEM frictions
The Raybestos Pro Series wide band
Complete steel kit with turbulator reverse steels and kolene 3-4 steels
Complete gasket and seal kit
ACDelco 3-4 Apply and Backing plates for proper 3-4 clearance
Sonnax replacement load release springs
ACDelco 3rd accumulator check valve
I also put in a new reverse input drum and a used pump which I needed due to the stator shaft being unusable in the old pump and the bearings being badly damaged in the reverse drum. I also replaced the sun dome with the beast. The 1-2 and 3-4 accumulator pistons were replaced. A new OEM bonded separator plate was used. I replaced the 3-4 clutch piston and foward clutch housing and piston with new bonded rubber pistons. I did pull the pump apart and replaced the soft parts and filter but deemed the rest ok and reused.
I did not totally rebuild the VB but did replace the Orings on some that I had to remove. The forward accumulator seal was replaced. The 3-2-control solenoid and TC clutch solenoid Orings were replaced.
The reason that I rebuilt the transmission was that I lost reverse. All the forward gears were working properly when I tore it down and that is why I thought the electronics were good and I found mechanical cause for the lost reverse.
This transmission runs perfect for 5 minits or so. Then it decides it likes 2nd gear and only wants to be in that gear . I can still get 1st and reverse also.
I have beat my head against the wall trying to figure out what mechanically could cause this type of behavior to just start happening after the thing runs perfect for 5 or more minutes. I thought since the band had gone to a wide onethat the pin may be too tight and I did adjust the travel of that to be within specification. Only other thing I can think of isreplace the shift solenoids but they must be working properly for some period of time till it starts loving second and you wouldnt think that they would reset if defective.
I am going to have someone do the proper scan to check the computer is telling the transmission to do what it should be telling it to do. I just cant imagine it running perfectly and suddenly having just 2nd , no down or upshift.
I took the truck to a tranny shop and he put it on some kind of scanner and said I had a code for the defective manifold pressure switch which he said was in the transmission and could cause my symptoms. Im thinking this is the pressure switch assembly that bolts to the valve body tells the computer what gear it is in. do know that when I was replacing the o'rings on the face of the switch I inadvertantly removed the plastic film with one of the o'rings and just put it back on with the new o'ring. Could this be my problem?
If the PCM receives poor or no signal from the pressure manifold, that can set off the PCM into a default mode

|The Following User Says Thank You to Crosley For This Useful Post:
fishcrazy (02-20-2013)
I am planning to replace the manifold pressure swithc today and am hoping that this solves all my shifting issues. I have noticed some change in the shifting ( I THINK) since I ground off the tip of the servo pin some. I think that it is within spec but right at the longer length of travel spec. The shift seems to be happening with a slight amount of slip and a somewhat harder engagement than I previously had. If I continue to get this type of shift after replacing the pressure switch I am considering resizing the pen length with a extender that I put on the end of the existing pin or by replacing the pin with a new one. Is one preferred over the other? I read some post on here that said they had seen more than one of these extenders come off.
A concern is what effect does the pin being right at the higher end of the travel specification or maybe just higher than that have on shift and can it cause premature band failure? Also will a corvet servo be a good upgrade to the longevity of the transmission and just how much harder will the corvet servo shift be? Any advice from more experienced builders would be appreciated here.
Talking on a standard rebuild,I personally have never ground on a servo pin.As long as the band had some wiggle on the drum before installing the pump,which it allways did,I shipped it. If it lasted 100k before the rebuild with the pin at that length,it'll go another 100k after a rebuild.Then again,I might add,all my kits come from an OEM supplier. As far as a corvette servo,all transmissions act differently with that servo installed,some shift nicer,some too firm for its application.And remember,this is a heavy escalade your talking about.You don't want that thing shifting like a hot rod,or you'll be replacing broken bands on a regular basis....just my opinion.

I appreciate the input. I started with the pin grinding thinking that the band was too tight causing my problem that were actually coming from the pressure switch. So I guess I am thinking maybe I should think about correcting the pin grinding I should not have been doing. The pin travel was very close to the lower end of the specification length if not just under and I thought that maybe the wide band upgrade and the new reverse drum maybe caused the pin to be on the tight side. But now I am a bit concerned that it is on the loose side. I anxious to see how it shifts with the new switch installed.
After installing the new pressure plate the transmission seems to shift normal EXCEPT for the one time it flared from the 2-3 shift. Only did it one time but it has done that before on a couple occasions. If I am not mistaken it was after I ground off the pin. At any rate it seems to be shifting ok now except for the one time issue mentioned. I will test driv eit again today to see if it remains good. It has not reset the CEL which is on. Do I need to disconnect the battery to reset that or do I have to have the codes reas to reset it or will the vehicle reset it eventually since the problem was fixed?
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
I tried disconnecting the battery leads for a while yesterday but the CEL stayed on. I left them disconnected overnight and will see if that worked. It did not seem to turn on when I started test driving the truck until I had been through several drive cycles.

Here on ModMyi, we don't just take screenshots – we put our screenshots in great-looking iOS device frames so that they resemble the user's device. Many have always asked what application is used to do this – we use Screentaker for Mac OS X, but today a client has appeared on Cydia for iOS devices and it can do nearly the same thing. The final product differs just a little bit, but the quality of the final image still remains high.
The application that has hit Cydia is called PreviewMaker, by iOS developers FreeApple and SubyWrex, and it will set the buyer back $1.99 to grab. In comparison to the Mac OS X version, that is a good price, since Screentaker will cost you $4.99 to buy from the Mac App Store. PreviewMaker also comes packed with a bunch of user preferences and sharing options. Using the application is simple:
When you open the application for the first time, you will be introduced by a nice-looking loading screen and then a blank iPhone frame with a '+' symbol in the screen. Tapping on this screen will bring up a Camera Roll prompt where you can select a screenshot from any of your albums to use in the iPhone frame. When you select the screenshot you want, the application shows you a preview of what the final product will look like and then you will be able to save the framed screenshot – we recommend the Camera Roll since it's so easy to share photographs from the Camera Roll.
Once you have created a framed image, you can easily share the image with your followers or friends. Importing it to the Camera Roll gives you the ability to iMessage or MMS the image to people or upload it to social networking sites via their applications. Alternatively, the PreviewMaker application comes with its own built-in sharing options for:
- sharing the image on Twitter
- uploading the image to ImageShack
- uploading the image to Dropbox
- e-mailing the image
- copying the image
From the options of the application (displayed below), you can adjust a ton of options for how the application performs. You can:
- enable and disable the sounds that the application makes
- edit the glare on the screen of the iOS device frame you put your screenshot inside of
- add watermarks to the screenshots
- choose the type of iOS device frame you want to use
- log into your ImageShack account for the ImageShack integration
- log into your Dropbox account for the Dropbox integration
- access much more screenshot options
As of right now, a lot of the options are still under development, so the only two devices you can use for a frame at this moment in time is a white or a black iPhone. Other device frame types will be added in time, as well as the ability to play around with advanced image creation settings.
When you make an image with PreviewMaker for iOS, your end result will look something like this:
PreviewMaker is totally worth the investment if you're a developer of any applications or themes and you want your screenshots to look as professionally done as possible. The main selling point on this application is that your screenshots can be worked with right on the device you take the screenshots on instead of dragging them over to your computer to work with them in image editing applications. We definitely recommend this app!
Name: PreviewMaker
Price: $1.99
Version: 1.0

text: Make your plans for Read Across America WASHINGTON—From Seussville to Who-ville and Oh, those many great places in between, the Cat in the Hat will help put reading on the map! The 14th annual NEA Read Across America Day—the party with a purpose that gets kids of all ages excited about reading—is expected to draw more than 45 million participants on Wednesday, March 2. "NEA's Read Across America has become an annual tradition in schools and communities in every state across the country. What began as a few reading parties 14 years ago has grown into a huge national literacy event," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "While we take a fun and lighthearted approach to our Read Across America celebrations, we do so with a serious purpose in mind: to encourage a love of reading. As educators, we know that children who read—and are read to—do better in school and in life."NEA's Read Across America—sponsored by the 3.2 million-member National Education Association, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P., Random House Children's Publishing and more than 50 national partnering organizations—promotes literacy year-round. But every year in March, around the time of Dr. Seuss' birthday, NEA hosts a major event designed to pay homage to the beloved children's book author and to get our nation's young people excited about reading.NEA's 2011 Read Across America celebrity kick-off event is set for Wednesday, March 2, at the Library of Congress. Parenting magazine will be joining in the celebration. First Lady Michelle Obama, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington and a host of film, television and sports personalities will read to hundreds of local students.The reading parties will continue as NEA again revs up its engines to put the "across" in Read Across America. This year's Cat-a-Van tour will bring the gift of reading to schoolchildren in Iowa and North Carolina and visit several of NEA's Priority Schools in those states. NEA's Priority Schools Campaign, the Association's flagship effort to help transform low-performing schools, encourages state and local affiliates, parents, community leaders, education advocates, policymakers, and businesses to work together to help students achieve. In past years, Cat-a-Vans have toured from coast to coast, visiting schoolchildren from Florida to Washington, New York to Arizona, and all points in between. In New York City, Target will host a reading takeover of Bryant Park and the New York Public Library and fill an enormous sculpture with books for the city's public school students and special guest readers. The event will showcase Target's support for NEA's Read Across America activities and promote Seuss readings in its stores around the country. In Orlando, Fla., Universal Orlando Resort is hosting two elementary classes from a local school to Seuss Landing in Universal's Islands of Adventure for a day of Seussian storytelling and celebrations. Universal Orlando's celebration of NEA's Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday will feature a cast of favorite Seuss characters and VIP reader, Nick Anderson from the Orlando Magic. Other schoolchildren in the park that day will also be encouraged to participate in the program. Across the country and around the world, deployed members of the military will don red-and-white stovepipe hats and read to their children and families. Thanks to Read Across America partner United Through Reading, the "Cat in the Hat" readings will be recorded, and the DVDs will be shipped to service members' loved ones back home. The storybook fun continues in the Big Apple where thousands of educators will gather March 18-19 for the WNET Celebration of Teaching and Learning. Since 1997, NEA's Read Across America has attracted some of the biggest names in politics, entertainment and sports to help children discover the joy of reading. Past celebrity participants have included First Lady Michelle Obama, Carrie Underwood, Gwyneth Paltrow, Alex Rodriguez, Serena Williams, Selena Gomez, and Shaquille O'Neal and "NEA's Read Across America Day is a party with a purpose because it shows kids that reading can be fun," said Van Roekel. "NEA's Read Across America provides tools, resources and tips for parents and educators that make reading a fun and enjoyable experience so kids will keep turning pages." A complete media kit, photos, video footages and other Seuss-tastic downloads are available at www.nea.org/readacross . The website also offers reading tips, book lists and information on local events. --NEA Media ReleaseSubscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

I've never been to DR but I've heard this. I live in South Florida which has an overwhelmingly Latin/Hispanic population, and my experiences have always been a bit interesting.Thanks Myrna.
And yes I do agree, I think that (SADLY) a lot of people especially in the Hispanic community it seems, somehow attach curls to the African American race only, something that is incredibly ignorant. Unfortunately a lot of guys I've met that are Hispanic have pre-conceived notions about curls and they believe that based on what they've heard from their families being "black" is a bad thing?
I know this because I was born in the Dominican Republic, my family however is from Northern Spain and I was raised in the U.S. I'm from all over the place and was never raised with any sort of prejudice or complexes about hair, as a matter of fact growing up I didn't know there was really a difference between straight hair or curly or wavy, I just never thought about it to be honest. But after encountering a lot of Hispanic people I realized most views were very different from mine.
I've noticed that in DR most men if not ALL will NEVER date a girl with curls because that means she must be mixed with African, and in Dominican Republic a lot of people attempt to be as "White" as possible? Whatever that means. So you see women relaxing their hair every weekend at the salon and if you want to find a man, you're not going to with what they call (pajon) or "giant poofy mess" in English. In a lot of Hispanic communities the men's goal is to get a "white" girlfriend, or one that at least sort of looks white, so being curly haired and tan isn't the best thing I guess.
I am mixed with many races. so I don't think curls only come from Africa since there are women and men from all over the globe with curls and textures. But like you said, I do find it quite racist for guys to make comments like that about curls because the majority of the time I feel it does have some underlying pre-conception or assumption about a specific ethnicity, be it African or any other.
I'm multiracial too, with very white skin and very curly 4B hair. My mother is a very light-skinned Jamaican and my father was a white American. Not only do lots of people assume I'm Latina (mostly Cuban or sometimes Dominican) but I've heard a lot of cruel comments about my hair over the years.
Most of the rude comments have been in English, but some were in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish but I know enough to know when insults are being aimed at me. I remember this Dominican lady washing my hair calling it "feo y sucio" (dirty and ugly)...that was pretty offensive. And there were at least two incidents of Hispanic people calling my hair "n*gger hair". I was not a happy camper.
I only know of one Hispanic guy who said that he wanted to marry a white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, but most of the Hispanic men I know don't care what the girl looks like as long as they find her attractive. I don't think most of them like my hair but it doesn't stop them from trying to flirt with me, so hey...*shrugs* I once dated a Colombian guy with the most gorgeous curls and he loved my hair, so that was an exception. But I think that for a lot of women and some of us with curly hair of a certain texture, it can be somewhat challenging to find guys that appreciate our hair the way it is.
But I have noticed that, as with other cultures, straight hair is generally preferred. Dominican salons make a killing when it comes to that because most women in my city seem to want sleek, straight hair. And some people aren't shy about giving the stink face to more tightly coiled hair, whether it is relaxed or natural.

"I like the top part of this design where I typed my nephew's and niece's nicknames, it becomes the focal part of the sticker. I ordered two labels, one pink for my niece and one blue for my nephew. The colors stand out and I wasn't disappointed with it. I like the shade of each and the simplicity of the font. Also, the delivery is fast! It was scheduled to arrive on 05/28 but I got it today, 05/22. Awesome!"
"This card is PERFECT! It turned out pretty much exactly as it looks online. The quality of the material, however, does seem a little cheap. But not enough so that I wouldn't order these again."
"-color (clean & bright) -text (professional) -quality (perfect) I love the way the labels turned out. They are clean cut and look nice on the white envlope."
"We were looking for a special card for our daughter's first birthday invitation, and this was definitely it. The quality is outstanding and the colors are vibrant. I appreciated the attention to detail from the Tiny Prints editing team, emailing me to verify one portion of the RSVP line that was unclear - much appreciated! I am so proud to send these invitations, they truly are lovely."
"I really like the crisp look of this address label. It was exactly what I was looking for....something clean, something simple. I'm very pleased.:)"

... My gut feeling is Zimmerman is completely innocent and will be acquitted since it appears he didn't violate any of the statutes...
This pathetic trial is a showcase for what the Leftist in this country are willing to do. Actually typical. How many times have we seen this? Tawanna Brawley, Duke Lacrosse, Rodney King..... The Left will feign outrage over any injustice, real of perceived. Leftist politicians, media, race hucksters all, will go so far as to manufacture evidence, lie, hide facts, ridicule, ruin lives, riot, even cause the death of innocents in order to advance the narrative. AND GET AWAY WITH IT ! ( Brawley ) Caused riots. In Crown Heights, people died ! Al Sharpton was caught in the lie and fined. As I recall, he was ordered to pay money to his victims. To this day he has not obeyed the court order. He has been rewarded with radio and television shows. ( Duke Lacrosse Team ) Young men's lives were ruined !. The lefts answer? " move on, nothing to see here!". Is this the America we desire ? Come to think of it, the guy in the Whitehouse is cut from the same cloth.
Bluebee, are you really that dense. She said it was investigated and the evidence was forwarded to the DA. YES, the investigators were there. It was only after an uproar and the rioters had to be appeased that he was charged. She was not giving an opinion, she was stating the facts. He was railroaded by the left.
Nope. The Tea Party People just have a real hard time getting their facts strait :laugh:

Culinary skills get the old college try at Glolocalvore at Franklin Pierce College
Union Leader Correspondent | September 25. 2013 7:34PM
The Glocalvore culinary showcase challenged professional and up-and-coming chefs from the international food service company Sodexo to create authentic global recipes utilizing as many fresh local New England ingredients as possible.
"I'm trying to lessen our carbon footprint," he said, adding, "from a culinary standpoint, local food just tastes good."
The challenges push the chefs to be creative and get away from typical cafeteria fare like macaroni and cheese and meatloaf.
Freshmen Crystal Colon and Tori Averill loved it, taking small helpings of several dishes.

Arsène Wenger has rejected suggestions that a lack of leadership was responsible for Arsenal's poor performance at the weekend.
The Frenchman watched his team slip to a surprise 3-2 defeat against West Bromwich Albion after a lacklustre display at Emirates Stadium. Afterwards he admitted his team "lacked electricity" and had "lost a generator".
One reporter asked whether captain Cesc Fabregas was that 'generator' but Wenger dismissed the notion. The manager picked up the theme ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League trip, insisting that a successful team needs more than one leader.
"It is always tempting when you lose a game to say there is no leader but I believe you share leadership," said Wenger.
"We have plenty of players of character and it was not down to that. It was 0-0 at half time and we were two behind after 52 minutes - it is more down to the way we conceded the goals."
Fabregas will miss the Group H clash with Partizan Belgrade with a hamstring injury while Saturday's skipper, Manuel Almunia, is out after injuring his elbow. Thomas Vermaelen captained Arsenal in pre-season but he is also absent with an Achilles problem. So who will Wenger hand the armband to?
"I have not named the team yet," he replied. "We will make some changes because some players need a breather and we have some fresh players as well.
"But I do not know who will be captain."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

[As promised, here's the first in the series about the tech industry's drive to reduce complexity.]
Remember the magic number? It's the one thing from Psych 101 that you should recall, since it pertains to memory. The brain has an upper limit on the number of chunks of new data it can stuff into working memory at one time. The number is around seven, plus or minus one or two depending on the person and the task. It's the limitation that makes the old game Simon challenging, and that bedevils us when we try to remember a phone number that someone just told us.
The magic number is one way in which the human brain tries to trim down complexity. Another more recent discovery is the brain's fuzzy boundary between literal and metaphorical statements. Attach a candidate's resume to a heavy clipboard instead of a light one, and the interviewer is more likely to treat the candidate seriously, because the resume seems somehow weightier.
Countless other examples exist where the brain takes shortcuts, filters information, and otherwise simplifies the constant, complex stream of perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and actions that would otherwise turn into a "blooming, buzzing confusion." We're not stupid creatures, but the machine that grants us powerful mental capabilities also puts limits on them.

The Canisius women's lacrosse team (7-5, 3-1 MAAC) cruised to an 20-8 win over Siena (3-9, 1-2 MAAC) on Wednesday afternoon.
Senior midfielder Maria Kotas and junior attacker Tori Quinn each netted four goals to lead Canisius offensively, while sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull collected a school-record 10 draw controls.
Nine different players scored for the Griffs on Wednesday, including freshman midfielder Rachel Toole who scored for the first time as a member of the Blue and Gold.
"I thought we did a great job of putting the game away at the start of the second half today," said head coach Scott Teeter. "We had a good, balanced effort offensively and it was good to get some of our youth in the game. It was great to see Rachel Toole get her first collegiate goal as well."
Sophomore attacker Taylor Giglio (3), Bull (3), junior attackers Meghan Cuddy (2) and Whitley Perry, freshman midfielder Ashley Heisler and junior midfielder Tori Greco rounded out the scoring for the Griffs.
Canisius got off to a fast start in the contest – jumping out to a 10-3 lead with two minutes to go in the half. Giglio, Bull, Quinn, Kotas, Cuddy, Greco and Heisler each scored in the first for Canisius.
The Saints would then net three-straight to pull within four, two to close out the half and the opener of the second frame.
Quinn would open the Griffs' lead right back up however, scoring three straight to start an 8-0 run for Canisius to give them an 18-6 advantage.
After the Saints ended the Griffs' run with a goal, Toole and Perry would combine to tack on two more to give the Griffs 20 or more goals in back-to-back games.
Behind Bull, the Griffs won the draw control battle 18-10. Kotas chipped in four and Quinn added two.
Kotas finished the day with game-highs in points (6), caused turnovers (4) and ground balls (4).
Junior goaltender Kalya Scully finished with four saves.
The win improved the Griffs to 3-1 in MAAC play, with their next contest coming on Saturday against Manhattan. First draw at the Demske Sports Complex is scheduled for 11 a.m.
GAME NOTES: Bull's record 10 draw control, surpassed the previous record of nine, which was held by former Griff Megan Oosting… That record also came against Siena on April 7, 2011… Quinn's fourth goal of the game was the 99th of her career. Her next goal would make her the eighth member of the 100-goals club at Canisius… The Griffs have now scored 20 or more goals in back-to-back games for the first time in program history… The win was the 99th of Teeter's career. A win on Saturday would make him 100-100 all-time.

'The optimistic forecast for a 33-year-old team that has an all-time record of 1,193-951-392-6 (with only seven losing seasons and seven non-playoff seasons) is to somehow finish around .500 and squeeze into the playoffs. Will that best-case scenario be enough to satisfy Buffalo hockey fans and attract enough of them to assure the long-term future of the franchise? We'll find out in the next six months.'

Clean water is a luxury 60 percent of the world cannot afford. One University of St. Thomas student, with God by his side and a strong determination, is about to change all of that. Andres Cuellar, a Cameron School of Business BBA/MBA candidate, created a water filtration system with the ability to filter contaminated water and provide clean water for up to three years to underprivileged countries.
With local materials such as clay, sawdust and plastic, Cuellar created a simple ceramic water filter system that does not require any electricity.
"When we are asked to create a new company we usually think about inventing something new; however, many times we fail to consider improving current products and introducing them into certain markets which would benefit greatly from them," Cuellar said. "While water filters have been around for a while, the filter that we plan on bringing to our intended market is a simple, durable and affordable system that lasts for three years without the need of replacements or maintenance."
The water filtration project was initially an assignment for a course in the MBA program at the Cameron School of Business. Students in the Operations Management course were tasked with creating a business plan to bring a product or service to the emerging markets, specifically to the bottom of the pyramid, Cuellar said.
"Many of the companies we are exposed to aim to the middle or high class consumers," Cuellar said. "Targeting a product to the bottom of the pyramid is focusing on the poor communities of the world, which is in fact the majority of the population. While it may be a challenging task because of their limited income, a perfect harmony can be achieved if one is able to fulfill a need in an ethical and affordable manner for the consumers."
Cuellar, along with five other classmates, conducted extensive research for the project and found a professor in South Africa who based his dissertation on improving ceramic filters. The professor had tested the filter in rural communities and allowed the group to use it's design for the project and future mass production.
After a lot of time and hard work, Cuellar and his group presented the project to the class. The professor invited Eric Yaeger, a friend of the professor who had industry experience, to provide feedback to the groups presenting. Yaeger believed there was a future for the group's innovative idea and offered coaching money and resources needed to help make the project a reality for the people of the Philippines.
Once the Spring 2013 semester concluded, only three out of the original six group members continued on with the project. However, as time went by, two of the remaining three members had other priorities that limited their ability to continue with the project, Cuellar said.
"I saw that it had a great potential and was determined to stick with it until the end," Cuellar said. "I was in fact so motivated that I traveled to the Philippines last summer and performed a feasibility analysis to determine if it would be profitable to sell the water filters in the Philippines."
Cuellar, a native Colombian, has always dreamed of establishing his own business. When he graduated from Seven Lakes High School in Katy, Texas, he opened his own sail boat rental business in Kemah. Now that he is about to graduate from college, he continues his dream with the establishment of the water filter factory and distribution center in the Philippines.
"At this point I am in the process of creating a legal entity that would enable us to operate as U.S. company in the Philippines." Cuellar said. "So far we have already bought the land where we are going to establish our factory. The plan is to start the construction of the factory in January for it to be ready in May 2014, so upon my graduation I can travel to the Philippines to oversee the initial production of the filters. Then I intend to stay for at least the rest of the summer as the selling and marketing phases of the project come about."
In addition to his classes at the CSB, Cuellar has a full-time internship at Total, an oil and gas company in downtown Houston, and leads a Spanish Bible study on campus, which has been going strong for six years. He credits his faith in God for all the opportunities he has received at the University of St. Thomas, which might not have occurred at other institutions.
"I think it all comes down to allowing God to work in your life," Cuellar said. "For me, it is very important to do my best in what I can control and let God influence the other things out of my reach. I had heard a handful of stories in the newspapers about investors promoting and helping students fund a company. It was something that I thought was very far-fetched. I have to pinch myself at times as I reflect on how far this project has gone. I feel truly blessed."
Cuellar is only one example of how the Cameron School of Business is educating leaders of faith and character and equipping them with the skills necessary to enter the business world as ethical and socially responsible leaders.
"I used to be a believer that education was just a title, a means of acquiring a piece of paper that you needed in order to embark into a full time job," Cuellar said. "However, in the past two years I have noticed the value of the education at St. Thomas. Not only has it provided me with a technical background, but also with critical and analytical thinking skills, encouraging me to be innovative, creative and to pursue my own interests."

Over the last week or so, I've been working on my new jumpsuit. Here it is so far!
I made it using two white Red Kap jumpsuits, using pieces of the second one to make the sleeves and pockets. It was modified it to fit me properly, and I added the ankle straps I so sorely needed. There is an elastic in the right sleeve with a key-ring on it so I can hook my hose on. Works beautifully.
You may not be able to tell in the photos (excuse the crappy camera) but it's dyed Rit Royal Blue and Pearl Grey, but it isn't quite coloured enough for my tastes. Oh well, try it again tomorrow! I'll take more photos since these didn't turn out.
Let me know what you think.

text: I think most of us would agree that drafting Darko was a mistake. I think Dumars made a second mistake by waiting too long to trade him. Not bashing Dumars here. I still have him as one of the top GM's in all of sports. But my question is, who got the better end of the trade? Orlando or Detroit? I realize our answer may change down the road after we find out who we get. As of right now, I think Detroit got the better end of the deal. If it were me, I would package a player or two and move up in the draft as far as I could. When it comes to bb, I worry more about quality than quantity. A followup question would be, if Darko was in this years draft, where do you think he would have been drafted? Assuming we did not know now what we know about Darko of course. Just trying to compare our loss. I think he would probably have gone third this year. So our loss would be dropping 12 places, not counting the loss of Arroyo of course.

The Third Prototype Boba Fett costume is often referred to as the Preproduction #3 costume, prepo 3 costume, or simply PP3 costume.
This costume was supposedly painted by Joe Johnston and bears a striking resemblance to the final costume seen in the Empire Strikes Back.
This costume was the least photographed, with only a few images being printed in Star Wars Chronicles and The Making of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
The helmet from this costume was painted virtually identical to the final helmet seen in the Empire Strikes Back. This helmet was 3D scanned in 2005 during the creation of Master Replica's 1:1 Boba Fett helmet replica.

The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (Department) manages the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) as a commercial, renewable natural resource. The goals of the Department's alligator program are to manage and conserve Louisiana's alligators as part of the state's wetland ecosystem, provide benefits to the species, its habitat and the other species of fish and wildlife associated with alligators. The basic philosophy was to develop a sustained use management program which, through regulated harvest, would provide long term benefits to the survival of the species, maintain its habitats, and provide significant economic benefits to landowners, alligator farmers and alligator hunters. Since Louisiana's coastal alligator habitats are primarily privately owned (approximately 81%), our sustained use management program provides direct economic benefit and incentive to private landowners, and alligator hunters/farmers who lease land, to protect the alligator and to protect, maintain, and enhance the alligator's wetland habitats.
The Department's sustained use program is one of the world's most recognizable examples of a wildlife conservation success story. Louisiana's program has been used as a model for managing various crocodilian species throughout the world. Since the inception of the Department's program in 1972, over 810,000 wild alligators have been harvested, over 6.5 million alligator eggs have been collected, and over 3.5 million farm raised alligators have been sold bringing in millions of dollars of revenue to landowners, trappers and farmers. Conservative estimates have valued these resources at over $704,000,000, providing significant, direct economic benefit to Louisiana.
Commercial trade in alligators is regulated through the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). While the alligator is not endangered or threatened anywhere in the U.S., it is listed on Appendix II of CITES due to its similarity of appearance to other endangered crocodilian species. CITES requirements are implemented by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). On an annual basis the Department must provide to the USFWS a "finding of no detriment" stating that Louisiana's harvest and export of alligators are not detrimental to the survival of the species.
The Department's alligator program can be separated into three categories: wild alligator management, alligator farming/ranching program and nuisance alligator program.
Louisiana's wild alligator management program involves:
- annual coastal nest surveys to index populations
- calculate 50+ wild alligator harvest quotas
- execute the annual wild alligator harvest
- collect, analyze, and interpret necessary data,
- provide technical assistance to landowners and hunters
- ensure compliance with CITES and USFWS requirements
- conduct necessary research activities
Louisiana's alligator farming/ranching program involves:
- monitor compliance with farm facility requirements
- facilitate alligator egg collections; set egg harvest quotas and issue permits
- verify/account for farm inventories and harvest tags
- process farm-raised alligators for release into wild
- inspect live alligator and alligator hide shipments
- collect, analyze and interpret necessary data
- provide technical assistance to landowners and farmers
- ensure compliance with CITES and USFWS requirements
Louisiana's nuisance alligator program involves:
- minimize/alleviate alligator/human conflicts
- manage a statewide network of nuisance alligator hunters
- receive and process nuisance alligator complaints
- assign complaints to nuisance hunters
- ensure hunter compliance with nuisance alligator policy
- review and analyze nuisance alligator complaints and harvest data annually

Cancer takes life of 2004 LHS graduate
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | March 27. 2014 8:12PM
Brian Winer, a 2004 graduate of Londonderry High School, died at Massachusetts General Hospital on Wednesday morning. He was 28.
A self-taught chef who dreamed of working in a restaurant since he was a child, Winer previously said he shared his love of all things culinary with his late father.When Winer was 22, he underwent surgery to remove a small melanoma spot on his neck and remained healthy for several years after.
His older sister, Jessica Leavitt, began reaching out to the surrounding community, setting up a website and Facebook page, Cook Up A Cure 4 Brian, to share Winer's story while raising funds to assist with her brother's increasing medical bills. Winer, who didn't have health insurance, lived with family members during his illness.
"I'm always thinking ahead," he said with a wink.
Winer underwent his most recent surgery in mid-February. A Facebook photograph dated Feb. 13 shows him reclined in a hospital bed at Mass General Hospital giving a "thumbs up" sign, his head heavily bandaged.
"Brian's life was made special by all those who chose to share it with," Leavitt said.
"We developed a wonderful relationship, and I will cherish him in my heart forever," Plante said.
"He made us fight the fight with him," Curtin said. "I'm gonna miss the fire and spunk."

Well the 6 lifters that where collapsing has been soaking in oil since last night and are still collapsing today - so im back to my original question, not how to adjust them but shouldn't they all have equal travel when installing them?
Yes. Lifters will have equal travel unless the plunger is stuck. New lifters come in the up position out of the box. The internal spring is holding the push rod seat up against the retaining snap ring. Clean the lifters with mineral spirits and let dry. When you set the pre-load, the push rod seat will push down against the internal spring and will hold that setting until the engine fills the lifters with oil.
If the lifters are full of oil, the pre-load adjustment cannot push down against the oil and the pre-load will open the valve instead. The valve will remain open until the oil is bled out of the lifters. If you attempt to start the engine with the valves open......guess what will happen. It will be just like missing a shift at 6,000 RPM.
Well the 6 lifters that where collapsing has been soaking in oil since last night and are still collapsing today - so im back to my original question, not how to adjust them but shouldn't the all have equal travel when installing them?
if that's what you really want to do, go ahead, however you may want to buy stock in the cam company that you bought from.
I will not be surprised if you wipe out lobes buy setting them that tight, or putting your engine into coil bind and even holding valves open.
take your chances!
Should I take apart the "pumped" lifters and drain them?
so what keeps solid lifters from the valves hitting the pistons,& bending some valves and push rods?
Do not disassemble the lifters. The only way to bleed off lifters that are full of oil is to install them in the engine and set the pre-load at zero.
After all the lifters are set at zero pre-load, turn the engine a few revolutions by hand to force out the excess oil. Do not crank the engine with the starter or you risk engine damage with open valves. After the lifters are bled off, you can set the lifters at the correct pre-load. Only spring in the lifters is holding pressure against the push rod seat and the lifters do not have a hydraulic lock.
If a hydraulic lifter is full of oil and has a hydraulic lock, the push rod seat will remain at the the top of the lifter travel when the lifter is on the heel of the cam lobe. When that occurs, the valve will be held off the seat by the amount of the rocker ratio x half the lifter travel (pre-load).
All hyd. lifters should not be pumped up before assembly!!!!! Mouse is on the target with that statement It will damage the engine or destroy the lifters!!!!! Putting them in a bucket of oil onle lubes the outer surfaces and makes a big mess LOL! Anyone that gets new lifters ask for the teck sheet almost all company's say do not fill lifters with oil prior to -------!!! A well trained mechanic knows this and some company's in their tech sheets don't mention it because they take for granted your assembler is well trained!!!!
MouseFink: I'm only backing what you already stated!!! Before some one untrained comes in and says your wrong
Heres an example of a tech. sheet mentioning lifter prep!!!
1. Lifter Preparation: Remove your new COMP Cams® lifters from the packaging, and clean
the lifters thoroughly in mineral spirits or an equivalent solvent. Remember, in order to protect
your camshaft warranty new COMP Cams® lifters

COMP Cams - Performance Camshafts, Lifters, Valve Springs, Rocker Arms
It is not necessary to pre-pump hydraulic lifters full of engine oil prior to installation and valve adjustment. It is actually undesirable to do so as the pumped up lifters will cause the valves to open during the adjustment process, rather than positioning the lifter plunger in its operating position as it is supposed to do.
Pre-soaking hydraulic lifters in a bath of engine oil is a good idea but not mandatory. Doing so ensures that the lifters are adequately lubricated on their outer surfaces prior to installation. It may also result in a quieter engine start up as the oil in the bath may displace some air from the lifters plunger reservoir.
Coat the bottoms of all flat tappet lifters with COMP Cams® Cam and Lifter Installation Lube (Part #103) supplied with flat tappet cams. When you install the lifters, make sure they fit well. Flat tappet lifters should rotate freely in the lifter bores. Any excess clearance or tight lifters can cause damage to the camshaft, leading to engine failure.

Hydraulic lifters will bleed down w/the pressure from the spring even if they're pumped slap full of motor oil and installed that way.
This same malarkey has come up before.
Let me ask this: If the lifters cannot be pumped up/full of oil and then adjusted, how are lifters readjusted after the engine has been run? Obviously anyone who's actually adjusted lifters knows better. And I have pumped the lifters full of oil dozens of times before installing and adjusting them- because that's how I was shown. And yes, I know the manufacturers do not recommend doing this.
Even if the lifters didn't bleed down and they all stayed holding the valves open by the amount of preload you added (which will mean the engine couldn't start, either- but they DO start, and no wondering why, either)- the amount is generally 1/2 turn, or about 0.062", which is less than the recommended valve to piston clearance.
So anyway, follow the directions below under Adjusting hydraulic lifters, or anyplace that has a version of the "EO/IC method.
Do not worry about some being solid feeling and some being loose feeling- UNLESS you think they might have sat around so long that the light machine oil/mineral spirits has turned into varnish and caused the plungers to stick. It wouldn't hurt to take one of the "full" lifters apart to inspect/see what's up w/it.
When it comes time to set the lifters to zero lash, jiggle the pushrod up and down as opposed to twisting it between a thumb and fingers when you go to find zero lash.

Edit- Jester, I didn't see your post while I was typing mine. Not here to argue w/you. Just stating the facts as I know them. Nothing more for me to say on the subject.

No problem Cobalt Nothing wrong with either of our posts!!!! Just different procedures.
Mouse already stated to turn over the engine by hand to compress lifter to its proper plunger installation position if it was pre filled!
I don't suggest pumping up lifters before installation because: if 1 or 2 lifters out of 8 are filled to capacity with a preload and valves are closed on the heal of the cam and the engine is started for initial break in and is at 2500 rpm the lifter has no time to bleed down to operating position and valves are momentarily off their seats on just off the heal of the cam lobe untill they bleed off to normal operating position! and then clatter. If the engine sets for a period of time before starting lifters will bleed down. different lifters have different bleed rates!
Cobalt: you already know the rest of this. but some on here don't
__________________________________________________ _________________
To anyone interested:
Most trained builders install lifters with proper lubrication and adjusted then oil prime the fresh engine while turning crank by hand, untill you see all rocker arms flowing oil so all lifters are full with spring pressure. Then readjusted before initial start up! and then adjust again after break in.
I do my initial adjustment on lifters while the intake is off on a fresh Chevy build by watching the plunger and lock ring on the lifter. at the point the plunger just moves away from the lock ring I give it 1/4 turn on stock lifters. I finish assembly and prime eng. I then run break in, for cam about 45 min. at 2000 to 2500 rpm after cam break in I run new valve spring break in ( heat seat the springs) about 5 to 8 hrs. Some new springs are already broke in ( ask for tech sheet) Then I do final valve adjustments hot! I then do highway break in and adjust valves one more time.
Chevy engines are very forgiving when installing pre filled lifters, damage is very rare but Ford side oilers or Chrysler RB engines etc. are not (damage can be caused!)
Most people and many mechanics don't know that Hyd. lifters bleed down after shut off the only reason they don't make noise is because there is no air pocket ( because of preload) it still has an oil cushion with spring pressure to keep contact till they reach their pumped up normal hight after oil pressure comes up! Fords and RB Chry.s, ETC have a pre load at lifter bottom out (complete bleed down) ( lifter compressed ) thus these engines are not as forgiving. Rhoads, anti pump ups etc are a different story and a different thread.
Thats how I was taught and have used for 50 years if I'm behind the times This old dog only has a few years left to learn LOL If my old ways can cause any damage let me know with something to back you up, if not let me lay!! LOL
Im a nobody, but just thought I would add that I just watched a few you tube videos (shop or company how to videos) and this seems to be a very debated subject. Most lifters come with directions tho and that seems to be the best procedure to follow. That being said, hydroulic lifters as I haved learned, should be lubed but installed dry and unlocked up. Preload set between a 1/2 and 3/4 turns past zero lash and using the twist method to find when tension just starts(zero lash) just my 2 cents setting hot is only done on solid lifters after having been set cold intially.
do what you want, apparently a big debate, but ill be willing to say that most people that have experience in cams and lifters will tell you that setting your rockers 1/2 to 3/4 past 0 with dry lifters, when they pump up from engine being run and getting warm, you'll be re-adjusting them.
read comp cams facts page. they stipulate that any roller lifters and roller rockers should be rebuild or replaced after 1 year of use.
Now how is it that Chevrolet, ford and Chrysler among all others who use roller motors can last 200 to 250,000 miles without problems, but comp cams products requires there products to be replaced.
knowing how comp cams and other large companys operate, i'd rather follow advice of 1000 peoples who do this occasionally for the past 20 to 40 years than a company who's purpose is to make a sale from you
Your knowledge astounds me!

My .45acp Critter-Gitter load, 51 rounds:
... and cleaned the 1911 yesterday, detail strip.
The load is a nominal 5.2 grains of W231 under a my soft-cast (almost pure lead, with just enough tin to let it flow but not frost at high heat) flat nose, truncated cone 230 grain nominal, 235 to 240 grain actual (due to the alloy used).
Be aware that this MAX according to the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook but pressure is listed as about 3kpsi under standard .45acp. Start low at about 4.2 grains and work up to 5.2 MAX.
This load is the longest I could take it with this bullet and still have it function in the magazines. This usually means 1.275COL for round nose but, in this case using truncated cone, it maxed out at an even 1.25COL.
Lube was homemade. Don't remember the particular blend I had on these boolits. Something like beeswax, LLA, lanolin and Militec-1. May have some paraffin in there. Something fancy that I'll not be doing again. Next will be beeswax/Crisco/lanolin or something simple like that!

FS: Board Bindings Boots
Board: 2007-2008 Burton Se7en
Size: 151cm
Description: The lightest, fastest, and toughest Se7en Burton has ever produced. For 2007, Burton added a spoon tip to the Se7en which allows you to plow through powder and ice alike. It offers a true twin shape, a new Park Fly™ core, and it's super responsive fiberglass design will have the Burton Se7en at the top of everyone's wish list this season.
Condition: The board is in great overall condition. The base is perfectly smooth and every little ding has been filled in with ptex. I wax my own boards and honestly wax after almost every time out (I think it is just in my head that it protects and makes my boards ride faster). The board is freshly waxed and ready for you to ride. The only negative part of the base is a core shot on the edge where the effective edge starts. Although this is a park oriented board, this core shot occurred in a glade when I ran over a sizable rock covered in snow. It was professionally epoxyed and ptexed, but after riding a few times the ptex started to crack so I filled it back in myself. The edge is in pristine condition, I never sharpened it because I do ride some park but I also did not detune it. I take always wipe it down so there is no rust and use a diamond stone if any appears.
Price: Retailed for $379.00, looking for $150.00
Reason for selling: I have a 147 Ride kink that I use for park and a 156 Burton Custom that I ride all mountain so this has been sitting in the basement for a year and a half without use.

Again welcome aboard.
I thought I would move this to the appropriate spot.
I live in Chandler. I have hunted Yuma for all of one weekend last year. But the guy I was with has lived there a while. I got my cinnoman teal there last year. It was an interesting type of hunt to me. Lots of work for what we got. But we were looking for cinnies.
Welcome aboard and bring others with you.
