Canon Powershot S110 reviewBy Ben Boswell - Wednesday November 14 2012 Sensor Review
Canon Powershot S110 vs. Canon Powershot S100
Among its competitors in the compact category the Powershot S110 scores well, but considering that its predecessor the Powershot S100 scores better, at a lower price there seems to be little to justify this new model beyond a desire to be seen to be bringing out new product. The new 3" touch screen, replacing a 3" non-touch screen makes navigation of the controls tidier, and for some this will justify the new model, as will the 1 stop increase in the maximum ISO. The hike in the speed is only reflected in the interface however, with barely any actual gain in low light performance. On the converse, the facility to shoot high frame rate video for 'super slow motion' playback has been removed from the new model, something that might disappoint some users. The S100 also had a GPS device built-in, again, this is removed on the new model.
Canon Powershot S110 vs. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100
Since comparison between the S110 and its predecessor may leave you wanting to find a Powershot S100 to buy, perhaps it would be better to look at the S110 in comparison with a camera that scores much better while coming in only very slightly larger and heavier. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 with a DxO Mark score of 66 sets a high benchmark. It uses a much larger sensor, both in the number of pixels and in the overall measurements of the sensor and this is well reflected in the individual scores:
- 2 bits of extra colour depth, (22.6 against 20.6 bits)
- Over 1 stop greater dynamic range (12.4 against 11.2 EV)
- Twice the performance in low light. (390 against 168 ISO)
The additional cost of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 is more than justified in this comparison. Since the Sony is virtually the same size, just a little deeper front to back and weighs, 213g against 198g, the Canon S110 is clearly eclipsed alongside this very capable adversary.
Further readings for the Canon Powershot S110 review
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Canon's Powershot S110 in an update on its previous Powershot S100, there are some improvements in the styling and user interface and an increase in the maximum ISO, which should be welcome for users working in low light. However the DxO Mark overall score fails to live up to its predecessor, so are the changes purely cosmetic?
Canon's PowerShot S110 continues the growing trend of DSC cameras adopting mobile-like technology. For its part, the S110 includes embedded Wi-Fi technology, making it easy for users to share photos and video. It also enlists a touchscreen LCD screen for photographers to adjust exposure settings, edit, and spruce up an image with filters and effects.

Japanese Steak Salad RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 1 1
"We enjoy all kinds of ethnic foods," writes Diane Halferty of Corpus Christi, Texas. "This beef recipe is easy to make, and very tasty." With its sweet soy marinade and fresh veggies, there's lots to love in this main-dish salad.
- 3 tablespoons sherry or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
- 1 boneless beef sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 1-1/4 pounds)
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/3 cup fresh snow peas
- 3 cups sliced Chinese or napa cabbage
- 3 cups torn romaine
- 1/3 cup uncooked instant rice
- 1/2 cup julienned carrot
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1/2 cup sliced radishes
- In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Pour 1/3 cup into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For dressing, add onions, sugar and sesame oil to the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
- Preheat broiler. In a small saucepan, bring 1 in. of water to a boil. Add peas. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and immediately place peas in ice water. Drain and pat dry. Combine the cabbage, romaine and peas; place on a serving platter.
- Drain and discard marinade. Place beef on broiler pan. Broil beef 4-6 in. from the heat 8-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions. Arrange the carrot, cucumber and radishes on cabbage mixture. Top with rice and beef; drizzle with dressing. Yield: 4 servings.

"This took some time to prepare due to the number of steps but it was well worth the effort. I made this quite some time ago and have been craving it ever since but couldn't find the recipe again. I'm thrilled that I finally remembered to search for it online and I'm glad searching by the ingredients is so easy since I couldn't remember the name. I can't wait to make it again!"

What kind of beef did you use?ReplyDelete
looks so cute! and I am going to try that faijta recipe, sounds great.ReplyDelete
so cute, I love that you still let the little one doodle away!ReplyDelete
Karen Kane Giveaway!
Fun. I just finished up our chalkboard wall and plan to use it as our daily calendar/meal planner too. Wondered how the markers were working for you.ReplyDelete
So funny how good ideas just keep getting recycled - I actually started meal planning because of an article Courtney wrote for HoF over a year ago. It is such a life saver and I actually look forward to cooking now! That last picture needs to be framed - those sweet little tip toes!!ReplyDelete
I'm in love with that wall!ReplyDelete
Might have to try and figure out where *I* can put something like that.
Would help with having to answer "Mom, what's for supper" 18 times every day, too! =)
I love the chalkboard wall. I'm hoping to put one in our new house as well! It great for so many different uses!ReplyDelete
What time is dinner? Set a spot for me! And friday and cooking never mix. Neither do saturday and cooking. and usually, Monday and cooking don't either ;)ReplyDelete
This looks awesome! I try to keep a visual reminder of every meal in our house, because a lot of times we are coming and going, and I like to know what is for snacks. Otherwise we binge on Oreos. My non cooking day switches up from week to week. The cooking doesn't bother me it is the clean up. I don't think I should clean up ANY night... how could I manage that?ReplyDelete
Hahahah, Cassie! Yes. We do this too and it totally keeps me on track and the week seems easier. When I don't do it, it all seems to fall apart. Envious of your giant chalkboard. Wonder if I have a spot for that?ReplyDelete
I need to do this. It may save me some last minute grocery store runs. :)ReplyDelete
Love the look of it and your menu looks yummmmm-my!ReplyDelete
What a great idea, lovely!ReplyDelete
I was just changing out my chalk wall in my kitchen and wanted to share that you were the inspiration for me doing my chalk wall. Always wanted one but didn't have a great wall to do it on. I loved your idea of a small floor to ceiling wall in the kitchen, and so I did the same! Cheers!ReplyDelete

I'm looking to remove the paint and rust from a project. Almost the entire truck is covered in a light coat of rust. What is the best was to remove the rust and paint? I'd prefer a way I could do myself, without the help of a commercial method like acid dipping. Thank you in advance
the best way i've found to remove all the paint and primer and get to bare metal is using 36 or 40 grit sandpaper and an air powered sander...electric sander will work alsothere are composite discs made for use with grinders and you can also get them for use with a drill, for removing rust, even better than heavy sandpaper...but be carreful not to stay in one place too long because they heat up FAST and could distort the metali don't like to use the composite discs on paint because of the heat factor...it has a tendency to heat the paint, roll it off the metal, and clog the disc...i get to bare metal with the sandpaper then use the composite disc to hit the rusty spots...then use a wax & grease removing metal cleaner to wipe the dust off then hit the panel with some rust inhibitor/reformer and then use primer
Ya sanding it down to bare metal is the best way I use 40-50 grit sand paper anything more then that can and will cause damage to the metal and keep the sander off the edges so you don't damage them. Once it is to the bare metal use some 80grit to help remove the 40-50 grit scratches.Light rust can be removed with the sander as well and then treat the surface that was rusted with some ospho it works well.
Professional hi-performance engine builderHorsepower sells Engines and torque wins races.
hi - when you finish the above suggestions- i would invest in some por 15- this stuff is made to go on and stay on- its a ceramic coating much like a porcelin coating- is made for high moisture areas- rockers and floors- you can save entire vehicle with this stuff- must buy at autobody supply house- or through eastwood company- it dries rock hard and moisture cant penetrate a cerramic coating- dollar for dollar probally the best undercoating system to come down the block in years- have applied to my vehicle in the northeast with very harsh wintery conditions not to mention the hevy salt put on our roadways- if you keep tabs on it and dont live in a snowbelt area you are all set- great stuff but expensive about 75.00 a gallon- but works- where all others fail- breakdown- forget regualar undercoats they break down to easy- good luck-
Hi all,Sanding is always a good option but if I have to remove paint from an entire car or truck down to metal I turn to chemical strippers, like Aircraft Stripper you can buy at Advance Auto Parts or AutoZone. The paint will bubble up within 20 minutes and you scrape it off. You can do entire panels at a time.Then I finish off with sanding to get any off any remaining paint, get rid of the rust and end up with a smooth metal surface as a blank canvas to start with again.Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use a chemical stripper to remove paint from your car.Let us know how you make out or what you ended up doing!
been here 11 months, first post is in a thread that is 3 years old, and has a how-to link that could be to something else...i'm confused and cautious...don't hit any link that does have a url in it
I'm a fan of the magazine and at the time this post was at the top of the threads list. I didn't notice the date until after I posted. I like stopping by from time to time to check for new how-to articles and discovered the forum.I recently stripped the paint off my '73 Cuda so this caught my eye. I tried sanding at first but my car had 2 different colors (some panels even 3) so it was going to take too much sandpaper. Chemical stripping ended up being faster and cheaper. Then I discovered all kinds of "creative" bodywork Some really bad rust areas I tackled with a wire wheel. Grinding discs work great but I've been into these course 3M pads (like a Scotchbrite pad on steroids) - they work great on rust without digging into your metal. The next step will be to install new floor pans and a quarter panel. The link goes to a blog post where I've been chronicling my builds - that's all - didn't mean to spook anybody. I thought I'd save you some time and money in case you were in a similar situation in a few spots with your car.On there you'll see a portion of my quarter panel where I tried out the chemical stripper before proceeding to use it on the rest of the car.This thread is pretty old so you probably found a way that works for you but if someone else stumbles upon it maybe it will help them.
When you do get it down to bare metal be sure to get it cleaned and primed soon. Clean and bare metal will surface rust quickly. Generally speaking, on good metal a good epoxy primer provides great corrosion resistance and adhesion.If the metal is pitted or for whatever reason you can't get all the rust off then a moisture cure primer like POR-15 or Chassis Saver is a good option. Moisture cures tend to fill the pits and encapsulate rust very well. There are a lot of suppliers out there of quality products. If you want to learn more there is some great info over at http://www.thecoatingstore.com. good luck!

My 4 1/2 year old son wanted to be Boba Fett for Halloween so I did some research on The Dented Helmet over the past few months and was able to pull off a full costume for him finishing just in time for trick or treating. It's not 100% accurate, but not bad for a first attempt and he was definitely excited with the way it turned out.
The helmet is totally scratch-built using Alan's helmet templates. Thanks Alan! I was able to print out the templates at 75% scale in order to fit my son. The only difference from Alan's turorial was that I used a toy army helmet that can be found on eBay and in some toy stores. The dome worked out great and much easier than trying to piece together pieces of the batting helmet example. The helmet may be a little big for him but he should be able to wear it a few more years.
Thanks to everyone that shares information on the site - it was invaluable for putting this costume together. Let me know what you guys think.

The United States government apparently is considering the importance of what Senator Joseph Biden has termed, moving away from "a policy focused on personality" to one focused on what is best for the people of Pakistan. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte made clear the Bush administration decision to cooperate with whoever has been elected by the people of Pakistan to lead their nation. Ironically, a major Bush argument in 2000 against the Clinton admnistration was its focus on nation building. Bush apparently is now convinced trying to impose US will on other nations invariably results in disaster.
Meanwhile, in Pakistan, President Musharraf is also moving in the direction of cooperating with Pakistan's political leaders. He is willing to compromise on the key issue of his sacking of judges who opposed him. Musharraf has offered to retore the judges provided none of them is allowed to sit on cases involving the president.
An important issue still to be resolved is what would happen if Pakistan's new parliament instituted impeachment against President Musharraf. Which judges would then sit in judgement on the president?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks you where right the torque converter wasnt seated properly
It sounds like the TC/TorqueConverter isn't fully installed into the Trans. Most likely the TC Hub lugs/splines aren't in the Pump Gear Lugs.
You need to spin & push in on the TC when installing it. The Input Shaft, Stator Support & Pump splines need to engage. Normally hear/feel 3-clicks/clunks.
Do Not use the Bellhousing Bolts to pull the Trans up to Engine, this will break the Pump gear/rotor.

Make sure your Flexplate bolt pattern will align with the TC bolt pattern. Some have dual bolt patterns but, some don't & wont fit.
700r4 Help SBC rebuild
I had a SBC350 TBI engine with a one piece rear main seal and a 700r4 trans. I got rid of the old engine and now have a freshly rebuilt carburated 350 with a 2 piece rear main seal, that I think came off a 1970's vehicle but im not sure what kind.
I finished putting the engine togother and was ready to attach the trany so I can finaly drop it my my 66 c10 ... but then I hit a wall
I placed the original 700r4 torque converted on the tranny and im pretty sure I sat it all the way in, when I try and connect the bell housing to new engine the torque converted presses againts the flywheel and wont turn. Is there a different torque converter? Or what am I doing wrong. The flywheel in using is the one that came with the 2 piece rearmain seal engine,

Phoenix Dominates NC Central in Wildcat Classic Opener
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
DAVIDSON, N.C. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team opened the Davidson Wildcat Classic in dominating fashion on Friday afternoon, rolling past NC Central (2-12) 3-0 (25-12, 25-18, 25-17) at Belk Arena. The Phoenix (5-5) has won three of its last four matches and is now 4-0 in neutral-site contests this season.
"I thought we did a good job of playing our way and playing our game," Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch said. "Our serving and passing was very consistent all match long. I was pleased we were able to take care of business today and get the weekend off to a good start."
Green Bay finished with a staggering advantage in attack percentage, out-hitting NC Central .283 to .028 while also owning a 42-25 lead in the kill column. Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) drilled home a match-high 11 kills to go along with 10 digs, giving the junior her fourth double-double of the year.
Junior Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) led the Phoenix passing attack with 26 assists, while senior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) paced the defense with a match-high 23 digs. It marked the fourth time this season that Groth has registered 23 or more digs in a three-set match.
Green Bay rolled in the opener, jumping out to an early 5-1 lead and scoring the set's final 10 points to win 25-12. Van Zeeland had five of her 11 kills in set one, including three to go along with a block during the team's deciding 10-0 run.
After a close start in set two that saw Green Bay leading just 10-9, the Phoenix went on another substantial run (13-4) to open up a 23-13 advantage. The Eagles bounced back to score five of the next six points, but a kill by junior Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) gave the Phoenix the 25-18 win and the 2-0 lead.
Green Bay used a late run for the third straight set to secure the sweep, out-scoring NC Central 11-4 down the stretch in the third to earn the 25-17 victory and get to .500 for the first time in 2012.
Two Phoenix freshmen made their collegiate debuts on Friday, as Sophie Jaskulske (Maplewood, Minn.) and Stefanie Siroin (Washburn, Wis.) both saw action. Siroin registered her first career point, picking up a kill on her lone swing of the contest late in the third set.
Green Bay resumes competition at the Wildcat Classic with a pair of matches on Saturday, facing High Point at 9 a.m. CT and host Davidson at 4 p.m. CT.

The [[reactive-fieldtrip]] project connects [[Reactive]] and FieldTrip.
The [[reactive-fieldtrip]] project connects [[Reactive]] and FieldTrip.
Revision as of 19:51, 10 November 2008
1 Abstract
FieldTrip is a library for functional 3D graphics, intended for building static, animated, and interactive 3D geometry, efficient enough for real-time synthesis and display. Our first renderer uses OpenGL, with the usual visual limitations. Since FieldTrip is functional, it is about being rather than doing. One describes what models are, not how to render them.
Besides this wiki page, here are more ways to find out about and get involved with FieldTrip:
- Join the FieldTrip mailing list.
- Peruse the library documentation.
- Install from Hackage.
- Download the code repository: darcs get http://code.haskell.org/FieldTrip. Patches welcome.
- Report bugs and request features on the tracker.
- Examine the version history.
2 Basic types
The basic purpose of the core FieldTrip library is to allow a user build 3D geometry, from individual simple shapes to full 3D scenes. The principal types are as follows.
- Geometry3
- 3D geometry. These values can be spatially transformed in space (affinely: scale, rotate, translate) and combined (union).
- Surf a = (a,a) -> (a,a,a)
- Parametric surfaces, i.e., mappings from 2D to 3D. Normals are constructed automatically and exactly via derivatives, thanks to the vector-space library. These normals are used for shading. For simplicity and composability, surfaces are curved, not faceted. Surface rendering tessellates adaptively, caching tessellations in an efficient, infinite data structure for reuse. The mechanism for choosing tessellation is a very primitive placeholder. FieldTrip provides some basic shapes of surfaces (spheres, torus, cubes, etc) and many functions for manipulating surfaces, colors, etc.
- Geometry2
- 2D geometry. There's a function () to embed 2D into 3D.flatG
- Image o = (R,R) -> o
- A primitive placeholder for functional imagery in the spirit of Pan. The intention is to use this type or something like it for texture mapping. Much design and implementation work to be done.
3 FieldTrip meets Reactive
FieldTrip contains no support for animation, because we intend it to be used with the Reactive functional reactive programming (FRP) library (and possibly other animation frameworks). By design, FieldTrip is completely orthogonal to any formulation or implementation of FRP.
The reactive-fieldtrip project connects Reactive and FieldTrip. To picture above comes from an animation in reactive-fieldtrip. Load src/Test.hs into ghci, and type
anim3 (spinningG torusPair)
The code for the static torus pair:
torusPair :: Geometry3 torusPair = f red (1/2) `mappend` pivot3X (f green (-1/2)) where tor = torus 1 (2/5) f :: Col -> R -> Geometry3 f col dx = plasmat col (move3X dx tor)

Our 100% natural, 100% organic, pure argan oil is harvested and cold pressed from the nut of the argan tree. Argan oil (also known as Moroccan oil) is a multi-tasking miracle moisturizer that's organically grown and naturally chemical-free. As one of the rarest oils in the world, it has earned the nickname, "liquid gold." It's rich in high concentrations of vitamins, minerals and powerful anti-oxidants. Vitamin E and essential fatty acids are argan oil benefits that help hydrate and soften your hair, face, body, nails and everything in between.
Why Argan Oil?
Just over ten years ago, I was on a modeling trip in the south of France and met a beautiful older woman whose skin visibly glowed with health. I guessed that she was around 40 years old—turns out she was 70! Her centuries-old secret? Argan Oil.
It's been rocking my world ever since.
There isn't much it can't do. It's light enough to use as an everyday moisturizer, yet powerful enough to soothe the symptoms of skin ailments like acne, eczema or rosacea.
And it's way more than a pretty face. Our Argan Oil is a world-changer in a bottle—organically grown, then harvested by Berber women who support themselves and their families by selling us their liquid treasure. Health, beauty, and women empowering themselves: that's the essence of Josie Maran Cosmetics.
Here's how I use it…
Smooth Argan Oil all over after a shower to lock in moisture and silken your skin like never before, or use Argan Balm to troubleshoot rough patches on elbows, knees, ankles…anywhere! Try adding a few drops to your favorite body cream or bath water…amazing! For the ultimate luxury, spoil your skin with my Whipped Argan Oil Body Cleansing Butter followed by my Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter.
The ultimate, all-natural night cream. Smooth a few drops of Argan Oil or my new miracle in a bottle, Argan Milk, into clean skin before bed for a night of deep moisturizing and repair, then lock it in with Argan Infinity Cream. During the day, apply Argan Oil under your favorite sunscreen for a naturally moisturized glow, or skip a step and apply both at once with my best-selling Argan Daily Moisturizer SPF 47.
Watch them fade as the anti-aging power of Argan Oil's essential fatty acids work deep under the skin to plump and repair at the cellular level. My absolute favorite wrinkle weapon is Argan Milk—so gentle you can even use it as an eye cream.
Dab a drop of Argan Oil or Argan Balm on rough cuticles and smooth into your nails to watch them shine with natural beauty—no polish required.
Just wait til your thirsty strands drink up the all-natural goodness! Smooth Argan Oil onto wet or dry hair for shine and softness, to repair split ends, and to protect it from heat styling. When my hair's acting frizzy, I like to rub a few drops between my hands and pat them over my hair to tame fly-aways. Works like a charm! I also love love love Argan Oil Hair Serum as a moisturizing styling aid.
I know it seems counter-intuitive to add even more oil to acne-prone or excessively oily skin, but believe it or not, Argan Oil miraculously balances your skin's oil production to bring these conditions back under control, heal blemishes, prevent new breakouts and reduce scarring. Those with especially oily skin may prefer the featherweight feel of our Argan Oil Light.
Kiss dry, chapped lips goodbye. So natural you can eat it, Argan Oil is the perfect pick to smooth, soothe, moisturize and add an alluring touch of shine. Smooth on a drop with your fingertips, or try our Argan Lip Treatment or Argan Oil Moisturizing Stick for lip-specific love. And for date night, my lipsticks, stains, oils and glosses are a girl's best friend with benefits! Check them all out here.
Nothing soothes like Argan Oil. Massage a few drops of oil or Argan Infinity Cream or Argan Balm onto inflamed, chafed and irritated skin for immediate relief that helps reduce the appearance of redness and scarring.
Turn down the burn and reduce the chances of peeling with the deeply penetrating cellular hydration of Argan Oil.
Naturally, I've infused all of my cosmetics with the miraculous powers of Argan Oil, but you can do the same by simply blending a drop of Argan Oil or, better yet, Argan Infinity Cream into your favorite eye shadow or blush to transform them from powders to silky, crease-free creams with built-in benefits. And nothing tames my brows or highlights my cheekbones better than a naturally glowing sweep of Argan Infinity Cream!

Rangers take control
Credit the Canadiens with resilience.
They battled back from 1-0 and 2-2 deficits to force Overtime.
And they had the early pressure in OT.
But Henrikl Lundqvist stopped everything.
And after the Canadiens failed to clear their zone when they had three chances to do so, the great Martin St. Louis beat Dustin Tokarski to give the Rangers a stranglehold on the series.
Future Hall of Famer ends it
After the Canadiens flubbed three chances to clear their zone, Martin St. Louis fired a laser over Dustin Tokarski's shoulder to win an OT thriller.
P.K. and PP finally click
Two minutes into the period, all five Canadiens on a power play touched the puck before P.K. Subban blasted it past Henry Lundqvist.
An Alex Galchenyuk shot dinged off the crossbar behind Henrik Lundqvist.
Canadiens had an 8-6 shot advantage.
With less than a minute to go in the period, Derick Brassard got behind the Canadiens defence and Dan Giradi's long pass found him.
Brassard beat Dustin Tokarski to restore the Rangers' lead.
Francis Bouillon had tied the game at 1-1 eight minutes into the period.
Rangers had a 11-5 shot advantage.
Deadly power play
It's sure killing the Canadiens.
The Rangers took three consecutive penalties, during which the PP was pathetic and surrendered a shorthanded goal to Carl Hagelin.
The Canadiens were better 5-on-5 and outshot the Rangers 11-9.
P.K. Subban, caught up-ice on the Hagelin goal, played a ridiculous 12:14.
Buckle up for the key game of the Eastern Conference Final.
If the Rangers win at Madison Square Garden Sunday night, they take a 3-1 stranglehold on the series.
If the Canadiens win, they regain home-ice advantage in a best-of-three.
Can Dustin Tokarski reprise his Game 3 heroics?
Have the Canadiens solved Henrik Lundqvist?
What will be the impact of two suspensions – Brandon Prust and Daniel Carcillo – and Derek Stepan's broken jaw?
The Canadiens' Saturday practice had Michäel Bornival skating with Daniel Brière and Dale Weise. Francis Bouillon was paired with Mike Weaver and likely draws in for Nathan Beaulieu.
Derick Brassard returns to the Rangers' lineup.
Puck drops 8:10ish.

Has anyone changed out a front end on a pre '64 (1962 in specific) front end? My son is inerested in rodding out my '62 Galaxie 500. My concern is that the stock control arms, drum brakes and suspension is inadequate for any high performance changes. When I met with Jegs people they said they had nothing for '62. They start with the more race made '64. I am greatfull for any helpfull information.
As long as everything is solid, and in good working order, the suspension in your car should be fine unless he's plannin' on runnin' road courses or something to that effect.I'd put all new bushings (polyuretane if possible) and b-joints, tie rods, etc,some good gas shocks and convert it to disc brakes.The only other part that sux on these cars is the factory power steering that mounts a slave cylinder on the drag link with a myriad of hoses and other crap. They are prone to leakage and slop in the wheel and are nearly impossible to fix, and often cause headaches clearing headers, etc.Seems to me I seen an ad somewhere to convert that to a more modern steering setup somewhere, but can't place it right now (more gray hair than gray matter)Maybe someone else here has seen it?Other than that you could do some measuring and see if the front frame section from an 70's LTD or comparable is similar in demensions....
Thanks Tin,This car doesn't have PS, though, it may be something I wish to add.He's just looking to make a street rod. We're thinking of a 390 ci for the power, which I understand was the largest engine available for the '62 Gal 500, and an in line auto-manual for quick shift on the strip and simple uniqueness, providing we are able to locate a nice steering column from a floor shift Gal. Otherwise we may simply go with an auto with the shifter remaining on the column. The interior is about a 9.5 out of 10, so I hate to change much in there. Over all I'm hoping he just wants to build a sleeper. It saves money and still performs.I'll have to get with him to see how to change over to disc. The extra weight of the big block can be compensated by heavier springs and shocks. The only other issue will be finding good wheels for the wider tires.
Go to www.ssbrakes.com , they have a conversion kit to swap you over to disc brakes. The only change you might want to make to the suspension is to change the springs and shocks to something a little more performance oriented as most of these cars were engineered for smooth comfortable rides. The control arms with new bushings and spindles will handle anything you can dish out.

Phoenix Routs Michigan Tech in Exhibition Finale
By: Jill Wunrow
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's basketball team had its final tune-up in exhibition play as the Phoenix dominated the first half against Michigan Tech en route to a 75-36 win Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Kress Events Center. The game also marked the fifth anniversary of Green Bay women's basketball at the Kress Center.
Green Bay went on an 8-0 run early in the contest before MTU's Sam Hoyt sank a three from the right wing to cut the Phoenix lead in half (10-5) with 15:05 remaining in the opening half. With a 25-7 lead, senior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) sank one of her two threes of the contest from the left wing with 7:34 to play to play in the half.
With 1:14 remaining in the opening half of play, Michigan Tech's Sam Hoyt drained a three pointer from the right wing as the shot clock expired, ending the nearly 10 minute scoring drought by the Huskies. Michigan Tech scored five of its first-half 12 points in the final 1:14 of the half to trail the Phoenix 38-12 at the break.
In first half action, Green Bay's defense forced Michigan Tech to turn the ball over 16 times, converting the miscues to 25 points. Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) went 5-for-6 from the field to lead all players with 12 points in first half action including six points in a span of 1:16 early in the contest. Redshirt sophomore Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) grabbed five offensive boards in the first half of play, leading all players with six at the break.
Senior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) opened second half play scoring seven points in a span of three-and-a-half minutes, including her lone three pointer of the contest at the 16:30 mark.
Sarah Eichler added eight points in the second half before finishing with a game-high 20, finishing 8-for-9 from the field. In addition to Sarah Eichler's 20 points, classmates Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Bauer also finished in double-figure scoring for the Phoenix chipping in 13 and 10 points respectively.
"A lot of my points tonight were layups and I credit my teammates who handed out the assist and found me on the play," Sarah Eichler said. "I had the opportunity to post up a few times and we had the advantage tonight because they were playing behind us. We've been working on our post moves and finishing layups so that definitely helped to our advantage tonight."
As a team, Green Bay scored 42 points off Michigan Tech's 31 turnovers with freshman Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) leading all players with four steals on the night in 19 minutes of play.
"I thought our defense was very aggressive; I thought we did a great job getting out in the passing lanes and making things happen," said head coach Kevin Borseth. "Our players were aggressive and outhustled Michigan Tech which was good so our points off turnovers and points in the paint (44) were big numbers for us tonight."
Offensively Green Bay shot 50 percent from the field, 42 percent from three-point range and 43 percent from the free-throw line. Megan Lukan led all players with seven rebounds in the game while senior Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) grabbed five.
EICHLER'S OFFENSIVE EFFORTS: Known for her defensive play throughout her career, since last season Sarah Eichler has been working on being more of an offensive threat on the court as well. Eichler poured in 38 points in 41 minutes of play in Green Bay's pair of exhibition games.
"Sarah has been pretty efficient and when we need things to happen, she's the vocal leader that makes sure it gets done," Borseth said of the senior's performance.
FLASHY FRESHMAN: With one of the largest freshman classes in program history, there is much anticipation with how the newest members of the Phoenix squad will transition from prep to collegiate play. With the class of seven contributing a combined total of over 130 minutes in exhibition play, Kaili Lukan has certainly proven she can contribute for the Phoenix right away.
One of the fastest players on the team, Kaili Lukan has registered a combined seven steals and 18 points in 32 minutes of play during the exhibition season.
"Her international play has really helped her considerably because she comes on the court and doesn't back down from anybody," Borseth said. "She makes a very good savvy basketball player and does things you just can't teach, very good defender, great speed, great scorer and will see quite a bit of action for us."
RITCHIE REUNION: Tonight's exhibition game also marked the first time Adrian Ritchie and her younger sister Jillian have battled each other on the court. Though the two teams met last season in exhibition play, Jillian did not play in the game but tonight the sisters had the rare opportunity to match up against each other during a couple possessions.
"It was interesting playing against her. Though I was still in game mode, seeing her out of the corner of my eye changes things a little bit but I still had a job to do," Adrian said. "It was really fun and it was a good thing for our family too just to see us out there together."
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: With exhibition play in the books, Green Bay prepares to open up regular season play as it travels to Northern Iowa Saturday, Nov. 10 to tip off the 2012-13 season at 2:30 p.m. The Phoenix hosts Central Michigan Saturday, Nov. 17 in its home opener at 2 p.m. at the Kress Events Center.
Season tickets, Pick 5 packages and single-game tickets for both men's and women's basketball programs are currently on sale with the Green Bay ticket office. For more information, please visit GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
When you reach Cape May, there's a good chance you'll be confronted with a situation commonly faced by southbound cruisers in the fall - namely, a brisk NW breeze, or the forecast of one, blowing down Delaware Bay...
Ideally, you'd want to ride a NW breeze down the Jersey coast, fall sailing doesn't get much better than that. But you'll likely have to sit in Cape May to wait for it to move to the NE (which can often afford a very nice sail up the bay), or blow it self out... As nice a spot as Cape May can be to hang out for a bit, a good alternative could be to continue on down outside the Delmarva to the Chesapeake Bay Entrance, and back up to Deltaville from Cape Charles...
This route is actually roughly 25-30 miles shorter (and considerably more so, if the in-out distances of your likely stopping points headed down the Chesapeake are factored in), and if the breeze was moved from the NW to NE by the time you make Cape Charles, you'll have a nice sail back across to Deltaville, as well...
This route makes more sense if you're in more of a delivery mode at that stage of the trip, it will involve an overnight sail, as the only recommended stop along the way would be Ocean City, MD... But, Cape Charles and Onancock on the Eastern shore both make for nice stops, if you're inclined to do a bit of relaxing or exploring before the final leg over to Deltaville...
Of course, the real benefit of this route is the possibility of maximizing the amount of SAILING you might be able to do... Unfortunately, the Delaware/C&D route most times involves a LOT of motoring...
One other option exists, if you decide to take advantage of a frontal passage to go down outside... The ride across the Delaware Bay Entrance can be pretty sporty in a fresh breeze behind a front, but if you cross over to Lewes, DE to await a frontal passage, you'll be superbly positioned for a nice ride down the beach...
Lewes is a nice little town, rarely visited by southbound sailors in the fall... On my trip south last winter, I didn't leave NJ until New Year's Eve, and wound up bypassing Cape May in favor of Lewes to await the arrival of a very strong front on the night of the 1st... Spent a very nice New Year's Day wandering around Lewes and catching up on some sleep, had a nice dinner in one of the town's numerous restaurants... the city marina was closed for the season, but amazingly, the showers were still open... Just as advertized, the front came thru in the middle of the night, and I luckily rode the ebb from the bay down past Cape Henlopen, the start of a totally kick-ass sail down down the coast... Fantastic start to another trip south, and the beginning of a new year...
Oh, and if you do head up Delaware Bay, you might find this helpful... I can't imagine why NOAA stopped publishing these graphs in the Tide Tables some 25-30 years ago, I'm really glad I saved mine...
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
There are free moorings there also, I agree with Port washington.
We usually stay at Northport on our way back to the Chessie as we have friends there and there is a sentimental attachment to the town for us, but have stayed in Port Washington also.
Great place
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
One of the nicest, most hospitable spots we stayed on our transit (actually stayed two days) was Port Washington YC, just north east of Hell Gate before you go through NYC.
Walking distance to restaurants, laundromat, West Marine. Lovely place, lovely people.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
Days are getting shorter/ nights longer and colder. You should leave soon if you're going. As others have mentioned, make sure you have a reliable engine. If you haven't checked things like the impeller, alternator belt, changed fuel/oil filters etc. Check trans fluid. in awhile, I'd do so before leaving and carry some spares ( impeller, thermostat, antifreeze etc..) . I don't know what your fuel tankage is but you might want to carry an extra 5 gallons. And keep the tank full.
Cape Cod canal. By the time you get in the neighborhood of Block I, Cuttyhunk etc..you'll know how things are going, and can make a decision to go offshore to cape may or continue through the Race into Long Island sound. Weather, crew fitness etc will help dictate your decision. I'd stay flexible, and have multiple plans at your disposal. Know where all your bailout points are and what services are available to you along the way.
Entering a strange ( new) harbor at night can be stressful at a time when you are most exhausted... so if you're stopping I'd make sure to arrive with some daylight. As Chef mentioned, If you plan on 40 miles a day average, you can begin to plan around that.
Keep in mind that many marina services ( fuel docks, launches, showers, etc ) are likely on shortened, off season schedules now.
Make sure you have plenty of ready to eat foods to keep strength up. If you get in to any snot, you won't be doing much cooking.
If you sail through the night, have a thermos or two of soup, coffee, etc and some sandwiches ready before nightfall, and all the other safety systems..ie jacklines, tethers.
Eldridge will likely be your most used resource.. you need to be able to hit currents at the right time. Forcing a schedule is where people get in to jams, so I would remain flexible and adjust and adapt the schedule to the conditions, the ship and the crew..
Have a safe trip..
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
A lot of your progress will depend on the weather and how much the crew can take. On one passage we left Harpswell ME at about noon on Saturday, and arrived in Southport CT on Monday morning before breakfast. Most of that trip was made under a reefed mainsail and fully furled jib. We entered the Cape Cod Canal with that combination up, against the tide, doing better than 10.5 knots according to the GPS. We had some breeze. The last time we headed south, we left Rockland at about noon on a Saturday and had to essentially power upwind most of the way to Gloucester. There we grabbed a mooring and some sleep before continuing into headwinds & rain to catch the tide at the canal. Small craft warnings were flying in Buzzards Bay when we to the other end of the canal, and we wore ourselves out in the slow, wet beat power/sailing up to New Bedford.
We had a miserable experience in Padanaram (South Dartmouth) There are few/no facilities there any more, and the New Bedford YC was inhospitable. Friends had a much better reception in New Bedford proper, where the waterfront has been entirely redone and marina slips, facilities, restaurants, hotels and moorings are plentiful and eager for business. We ended up coming back the next weekend to bring the boat down the rest of the way, and the weather was more favorable. Going with a crew of 2-3 will limit how far you can push in a day. I like having at least five for overnights because it allows getting some sleep in. That way when you get to a place where the navigation is tricky, someone is more likely to be awake enough to make the right decisions. Even then, the trip you plan is long enough that you'd want to stop and get some real sleep along the way. Depending upon when and where you are, there will be logical spots to pull into while you wait for the tide to change at the Race, or Hell Gate, for example.
Your idea of giving it three weeks should provide you enough weather window to avoid the bashing we pushed through.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
Atlantic highlands to Cape May is 105-110 nm in a straight line sail. Averaging 5 knots that's more than a long day. That's 20 hours. The time of year the OP is going with 11hours or less sunlight would make it a day and a night.
We haves used Reedy Island about 7 miles south of he C&D Canal as a stopover point in case you can not make it o the canal or yu want to Tate for the run down the Delaware River
The whole way with the tide.
I have done the trip to New England or back over 35 times. There re advantage to doings hot fro Block to Cape May as well as disadvantages. Crew strength and experience as well as boat preparation are definite factors.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
Have done the round trip many times. It's really fun. If you have a good crew, you can decide to go non-stop if in a hurry, or stop overnight along the way...probably would not go thru hell's gate during the night. Radar is very valuable if you have it because you will be crossing Boston and NY shipping channel. It's nice to see them (during the night) and can tell their direction. The Jersey coast can be done in a long day from Atlantic Highland (NY Harbor) to Cape May. We've always had great sails from Cape May to the CD canal...study Eldridge so you leave at the right time. I've always left when the current is slightly against you...that way it's with you or neutral when you finally reach the canal. Cape May to Annapolis is 24 hours....if you want to stop, Chesapeake City is the place to lay over. Anyway, fun trip. Good Luck.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
This trip is a very common trip for delivery crews (although many keep going past the Chesapeake) in the fall and is certainly doable although it can be pretty cold and rough. It is not a bad shot from Penobscot bay, past Monhegan and to the Cape Cod Canal. If things get rough, Gloucester is a good place to duck into. On a 33' boat, the trip to the canal should be 18-30 hours depending on conditions (it will be a lot longer if you are trying to push or sail into a strong headwind and sea). Once you get south of the canal, harbor hopping your way down is not too bad or you can again run straight through. I would highly recommend going inside long island. Once you get south of new york, there are not many harbor options until you enter the Chesapeake. As long as you have cruising guides for all of the areas covered and do your reading ahead of time, there is no reason why the trip can't be done.
The real question is whether you and your boat are up to the trip. Do you feel sufficiently experienced? Do you have anyone going with you, this would help a lot? Is your boat in good shape? These are things that only you can decide.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
Another consideration.
Do you have a reliable auto pilot or steering vane on your P33? It can be done without an auto pilot but allows you a lot more freedom and generally makes watch standing a bit easier.
Do you have radar? Maine = fog.
Do you have charts for the entire trip yet?
It sounds like a fun trip to me. You might be able to pick up some crew along the way from here/sailnut or other forums.
You would likely learn a lot and (hopefully) gain a lot of confidence in your and your boat's abilities.
I say go for it. Get going soon.
Re: Maine to Chesapeake Fall Passage
I don't mean to spoil your adventure...an it is an adventure, but in your planning figure the length of the voyage and all of those expenses plus the value of your time. What's the cost to haul, ship, an relaunch at Deltaville. BILL

Posted by James Staten on April 28, 2014
With video rapidly becoming the dominant content type on enterprise networks the issues being faced in the media market foreshadow the coming challenges for the rest of the market. And use of the cloud was very much in focus at the 2014 National Association of Broadcasters conference held in Las Vegas in the second week of April.
Most industries need a push to move aggressively into the cloud -- and the media & entertainment market was no different. The initial push came from the threat of disruption by over the top (OTT) distributors, like NetFlix, who were primarily leveraging the cloud. "[We] aren't going to be cold-cocked like music was," said Roy Sekoff, president and co-creator of, HuffPost Live. As a result, video production houses, news organizations and television and motion picture studios are being the most aggressive. Now an upcoming shift to Ultra HD presents a new series of challenges including file sizes, bandwidth limitations, and new complexities for workflows, visual effects and interactivity.
Here we present ten issues the media industry faces as it more broadly embraces the cloud, as observed first-hand at NABShow 2014. These ten issues show how going cloud changes how you think (planning), act (workflow), and engage (distribute). For Forrester clients there is a new companion report to this blog detailing what the industry is doing to address these challenges and how you can follow suit:

Toyota to Finally Get Onboard With Direct Injection, Turbocharging to Boost Efficiency
Brandon Hill
October 3, 2012 12:38 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Toyota Camry SE
Toyota is finally going to catch up to the competition
Toyota is known for producing boring family sedans and SUVs that appeal to a large audience. The company is also known for its fuel efficient
Prius family of hybrid vehicles
. Vehicles like the
Prius/Prius c
manage to achieve 50mpg on the highway thanks to a fuel-sipping gasoline engine backed with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an electric motor/battery.
Toyota has largely ignored making significant advances in its traditional gasoline engine/powertrain department; with efficient transmission/engine offerings lagging the competition (the Toyota Corolla still uses a 4-speed automatic transmission when the competition has moved to 6-speed units and CVTs).
However, no longer will its traditional vehicles take a backseat to its hybrids according to Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota's product development chief. "By 2015, through improvement in the engine and powertrain alone, we aim to achieve a fuel-efficiency improvement of 10 percent to 20 percent on the models adopting the improvements," said Uchiyamada.
The Toyota Corolla still uses an archaic four-speed automatic transmission and lags behind the competition in fuel economy
Competitors like Ford have already embraced direct injection and turbocharging across much of the produce range (see
), and Toyota is following suit. Toyota plans to introduce a direct injection version of its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine (this new engine will first see duty in hybrid models). The engine will also find its way into vehicles like the Camry, RAV4, and Venza.
In addition, Toyota will also introduce a 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine that will likely take the place of the 3.5-liter V6 currently found in midsize Toyota sedans and crossovers.
Toyota is also looking to add 6- and 8-speed automatic transmission to its vehicles. This should help vehicles like that aforementioned Corolla with its archaic transmission boost fuel efficiency ratings. The company will also add CVTs to more of its models, a move that has long been championed by Nissan. Nissan provides CVTs in everything from its
tiny Versa subcompact
to the large Pathfinder crossover.
All of these moves largely see Toyota playing catch-up with the rest of the automotive industry. Toyota has for too long placed all of its fuel efficiency eggs in the hybrid basket, while neglecting its bread and butter vehicles. With the competition now fiercer than ever, it now looks as though Toyota has finally realized that not everyone wants to purchase a hybrid in order to get increased fuel efficiency.

"To stop doing evil is more important than performing merit. Even criminals can make merit." - Ajahn Chah
A few interesting points here: a Thai criminal in exile finances the building of a huge temple in China to strengthen bilateral ties between the two countries and to reflect true Thai-ness, in cooperation with the high-ranking monks who congratulate him on his efforts. (And how did they manage to make a Sima boundary for a Theravada temple inside an already existing Mahayana temple? A sign of true religious harmony? $$$)
Theravada goes to China
A magnificent Buddhist house of worship opens in Luoyang, Henan province, after 20 years in the making
Published: 4/08/2012 at 02:28 AM
When the first Thai temple of the Theravada doctrine opened in China, the story emerged of the unique way it was conceived and built and, more significantly, who was behind it.
First, Wat Hame Assavaram is a temple within a temple. It occupies a space inside the Baima Si Temple, which in English has the catchy name White Horse Temple.
Wat Hame Assavaram also adheres to the conservative Theravada sect of Buddhism while Bai Si Temple _ the first Buddhist temple in China _ observes the new-school Mahayana tradition.
The two temples in Luoyang, the country's long-time capital city in Henan province, recently welcomed the man who made Wat Hame Assavaram possible and after whom the temple was named.
Thai criminal fugitive Vatana Asavahame presided over the burying of the luk nimit sacred stone orb in the temple's grounds on July 20. Where the orb is dropped designates the perimeter (Sima) of the main chapel.
It was the first time Vatana has appeared in the media spotlight in four years since fleeing a 10-year jail term imposed on him by the Supreme Court in the Klong Dan water treatment facility case in Samut Prakan in 2008.
He said despite his circumstances, he has found solace in making merit.
Vatana's connection with the Baima Si Temple goes back more than 20 years to when he was deputy interior minister.
During a visit to China at the time, he felt there should be a Thai temple in the country. He discovered a suitable location at the Baima Si Temple, which he grew attached to since his Chinese ancestral surname and Asavahame mean horse.
He knew then that he was going to build an architecturally authentic Thai temple at the Baima Si Temple site. However, the early structure erected for worship showed no physical semblance of a functional temple.
Distance hindered progress of the temple plan, which at times had to be put on hold as Vatana was too busy with work to fly to China to follow up on the construction.
It wasn't until two years ago while he was in exile that he started to think seriously about resuming the project and getting it finished.
He raised 200 million baht, most of which is believed to have come from his own pocket, to finance the construction.
The fruit of his labour is a meticulously-built principal chapel or ubosoth steeped in bona fide Thai architecture, standing imposingly on a seven-rai compound inside the Baima Si Temple.
The temple is equipped with a belfry, a Buddhist scripture pavilion and living quarters for the monks.
Vatana recalled one of his early visits to the Baima Si Temple and saw the Hame Assavaram project in disarray.
His first thought was the old chapel housing the principal Buddha image _ a replica of Phra Buddha Chinnarat, the most revered Buddha statue in Phitsanulok _ had to be rebuilt to make it look more Thai in appearance.
``Also to me, the Phra Buddha Chinnarat image had a rather grim face. The chapel itself was more Chinese than Thai to people's eyes,'' Vatana said.
He harboured a strong wish to commission a new chapel which would look and feel every bit a Thai temple.
He immediately consulted the Baima Si Temple executive committee and Luoyang city's ecclesiastical organisation on how to turn his vision into reality.
``I told myself I will construct this temple with my heart,'' he said.
The blueprint of the chapel was spread out for the Chinese authorities to see and give feedback about. Some of them suggested it should replicate the exterior of the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok or a Thai palace.
``We rolled out all of the temple's construction plans for their inspection. The plans had been approved by the Thai Fine Arts Department and the National Office of Buddhism,'' he said.
But he insisted the facade of the chapel must be stylised to reflect Thai-ness.
The whole process of the temple's construction was supervised by Pra Thep Sitthikosol, abbot of Wat Plabprachai, who had been through many monastic construction tasks in the past.
``I went to China three times a month to monitor the project,'' the monk said.
``Over the two-year construction period, I was in close consultation with Vatana and heard his opinions,'' he added.
The work proceeded well with consistent cooperation from the Baima Si Temple's present abbot, the venerable Yen Ler.
``We had invited abbot Yen Ler to several international Buddhist conferences in Thailand. We also brought him to meet with Somdej Kiew,'' Phra Thep Sitthikosol said, referring to Somdej Phra Puthajarn, the widely respected abbot of Wat Srakesa in Bangkok.
To ensure the new chapel displayed the true integrity of Thai art, a team of architects, engineers and artisans regularly went to China to carry out the project.
However, extreme weather hampered the construction progress. The temperature at the temple site would drop to minus 40C in winter and soar to almost 40C in summer.
Meanwhile, all of the temple's components, such as roof tiles, wooden panels and frames, had to be imported from Thailand and delivered by ship or airplane.
Once the chapel was finished, the next task was to figure out how to keep and maintain the temple.
Phra Thep Sitthikosol said Wat Hame Assavaram plans to set up 10 funds, worth one million baht each, in order to pay for the temple's routine expenses, absorb the costs of maintenance and organise religious ceremonies.
``The paintings of the Lord Buddha's life drawn by Thai artists will be displayed here to propagate a religious cause and strengthen bilateral ties with China,'' Phra Thep Sitthikosol said.
At the July 20 orb burying ceremony, more than 100 senior monks from all parts of Thailand attended the religious event. Somdej Kiew appeared on a video link at the event.
He said Vatana's deed in building the temple in China would be a blessing to his life.

Getting more high school diplomas in the hands of Kentucky kids is the goal of a House measure that gradually ups the legal school dropout age from 16 to 18. But objectors to House Bill 224 question the wisdom of keeping kids in class longer who'd rather ditch school altogether.
Representative Jeff Greer appeared before the House education committee yesterday to make another plea this session for his dropout prevention measure. The Governor and First Lady of Kentucky have been advocating its passage for several years now. Greer believes there's bi-partisan and bi-cameral support for the measure this year. Nearly six thousand kids drop out of school each year in Kentucky and Representative Greer says that decision often comes at a hefty price later in life.
Greer says 75 percent of Kentucky's prison population is without a high school diploma. Madisonville Republican Ben Waide has been consistent in his opposition to the school dropout bill. He maintains that studies show raising the compulsory attendance age to 18 doesn't create more high school graduates and that educators in his district aren't in favor of it either.
Kentucky Department of Education Commissioner Terry Holliday offered a rebuttal to Representative Waide's criticisms and admitted that raising the school dropout age alone isn't a silver bullet.
Representative Jeff Greer's House Bill 224 that gradually raises the school dropout age from 16 to 18 passed the House education committee and now waits for placement on the full House docket.
In a statement released by the Governor's office in response to the bill's committee passage, it says, in part: "Kentucky needs an educated, highly trained workforce, and we can't have that if we tell kids it's okay to drop out at 16. They lose their best opportunity at a productive future because they will likely earn less than their peers who graduate, and are more likely to find themselves on welfare or in prison. I look forward to continuing conversations with both the House and the Senate on this issue, and call on our legislators to pass this bill to keep our kids in school."
This programming note: First Lady Jane Beshear will be on my program "Connections with Renee Shaw" Friday at 5 pm ET on KET2 and again this Sunday at 1:30 pm ET on KET to talk about the school dropout bill and much more. Here's a preview of our discussion here:

|No torque tubes in the little American....
1959 rambler
I must have said something wrong in my message. I have a 1959 rambler american two dr wagon. so from what I gather I do have tork tubes up front and need to do something with them correct.would of been nice to be able to keep the rear end inplace on this little thing but if it has to go it has to go.Let me know about the tork tubes and what I can do with them. thanks
You've got the bigger 58 Rambler Six (has just Rambler nameplates), not the small 58-60 American (has Rambler and American nameplates). You won't lose the heater. The American doesn't have a torque tube, only the 56-60 Rambler Six, 58-66 Rambler Ambassador, 58-60 Rambler Rebel (same as Rambler Six but with a V-8), and 61-66 Rambler Classic (finally gave the Six a real name!) have the torque tube. The bigger Rambler body came with a V-8 option from the factory and has plenty room for a V-8 with no cutting under the hood or losing the heater. The small American doesn't have to lose the heater unless you use a Chevy engine -- the rear distributor causes loss of heater. A 302 Ford or 318 Chrysler is a better fit, any small block with a front distributor (or newer model with no distributor).
As for the bigger car, all you need to do is fab engine mounts. The crossmember doesn't have "perches" for mounts as the old cars used four mounts -- two in front of the engine and two on the bell housing. The trans just hung off the bell, even the big heavy autos back then, which wasn't a problem. You will need to fab and weld or bolt perches to the crossmember or devise some other means to mount the engine, and make a rear crossmember for the trans. Trans-dapt and others make universal crossmembers for hot rods that will work for the engine and trans if you want. J.C. Whitney carries them, but their site search makes them hard to find (hell, anything is!!). Try different combos of phrases until you do. The distance between the front rails in the 58 is 31-1/2".
The torque tube is the main locating arm for the rear axle. You will need to replace the rear axle with one from a 83-92 Ford Ranger. Only the 90-92 4.0L models have the 8.8" rear axle, the others are 7.5". If you're building a cruiser with moderate power (400 hp or under) the 7.5" axle shouldn't be a problem. The Explorer and 93+ Ranger axles are 2" wider than the earlier Ranger. They will fit, but you will need deep set 4x4/front drive wheels to fit in the wheel wells. The stock wheel wells will take a 215 tire easily, a 225 will fit but might be snug.
Since the tube located the axle, you have to have a way to do that once the tube is gone. A four or three link kit will work, but ladder bars are easiest. Just make sure the bars a 30" long or more -- the longer the better. A "truck arm" kit for a GM G-body from "Hot Rod to Hell" (http://www.hotrodstohell.net/truckar...karm_gbody.htm) is easy to mod to fit. All you need are the arms and crossmember they mount to -- the panhard rod from the Rambler can be used. Just grind/drill the rivets and bolt/weld it to the donor axle. The spring seats on the Rambler axle are easy to remove, they are hold on by one 3/8" fine thread bolt in the center. Just place them on the new axle and drill and tap it for the bolt.
Removing the Rambler axle is easy. Disconnect all brake lines and the shocks. Unbolt the tube from the transmission. Put a floor jack under the car from the rear, jack up the axle, and remove the tires. While the car is up put jack stands under the body in front of the axle. Lower the jack then reach under and pull out the springs. You might have to jack the body up just a bit more, but with the tires off the axle will usually drop enough to get the springs out. Pull the axle out the back of the car by rolling floor jack back. You might have to get in front of the axle and give it a good kick (good jack stands, chock the front wheels!) as the yoke doesn't slip on the trans and has been on for near 50 years... it tends to stick.
The only drawback is you can't move the car with no rear axle, and with the torque tube or transmission out there's nothing to hold the rear axle in place. I bolted a 4' length of 2x4 onto the axle (on what would have been spring pads on a leaf spring car) and set the body down on that -- with the gas tank out too. If you hit a hole or big rock the axle might shift, so be careful if doing something like this! A friend used a pair of furniture moving dollies on casters with jack stands on top to move his around the shop.
59 rambler american wagon
As I read this tech I see I can put a small v8 into my little wagon but will I lose the heater box on firewall? also what do you do when you do away with the tork tube? This is the first rambler i have ever had and would like to do this swap out of motor as easy as I can.Would like to keep all the original stuff I can also. Any help would be appreciated.
The 59 Rambler link is very interesting, but a totally different car. The link points to a 59 AMERICAN. That's the small body car that is basically a slightly modified 1950 Nash Rambler. Nash made the 100" wheelbase Rambler through 1955 then went to a bigger 108" wheelbase body. AMC reintroduced the 1955 model with some slight revisions in 1958 as the Rambler American, which ran through 1963 with the same basic unit body. In 61 the car was restyled by changing all the external sheetmetal including the roof panel, but keeping the floor pan and all glass area the same -- the main unit body "frame" was unchanged except for the firewall. The 58-60 American look almost the same, and the 61-63 look almost the same, but unless you pay close attention to the glass areas you'd never think a 60 and 61 were virtually the same car!
While KozAZ didn't mention if his 58 was an American or the bigger "Rambler Six" (the bigger car was finally named "Classic" in 61, and there was also the extended wheelbase "Ambassador from 58 on too -- three models from 58 -- Rambler American, Rambler Six and Rebel [same as six but with a 250 cid AMC V-8], and the Ambassador [extended wheelbase Rambler six with 327 AMC V-8]). But he mentioned an enclosed drive. The big Rambler models, including the 1956, used torque tube drive (enclosed driveshaft, with the enclosing tube acting as the rear axle locator arm and transmitting all torque from the engine to the wheels). The American (and 50-55 Nash Rambler) always used an open drive shaft. The torque tube was used through 1966 -- 1967 and later big models all used an open drive.
The big cars have plenty room for a V-8, the American was literally built around that compact L-head six! The only OHV six that will fit the engine bay is the old 195.6 cid AMC engine (1956-65 -- not to be confused with the later model 199, which is a totally different and longer design). Even late model four cylinder engines are a tight fit in the 50-63 small body because the intakes stick so far out to the side! The best fit is a 60 degree V-6 like the Chevy 2.8-3.4, or the Ford 2.9 (I'm sure it was made in other sizes, but I don't know what they are). The only problem with those is the accessory mountings are usually to wide. The engine can be mounted a little forward to keep the accessories away from the "humps" in the inner fender wells of the small body, but even then some would have to be moved in a good bit.
Even the small 50-63 body is exceptionally strong! I have some photos of one with a built SBC that runs 9 second quarter miles using the stock front suspension and chassis. It has been back halfed to mount wide tires, but that is just connected to the original unit body rails. All pre 63 Ramblers (pre 64 in the American) have a box "frame" rail running from bumper to bumper welded into the floor pan, making them extremely strong -- just as strong (if not stronger) as a separate frame. The rails are rectangular and made of 18 gauge sheet metal (about 3/64" thick -- just under 1/16"[which is 4/64"]). They are then welded to the floor pan, rockers, and inner fender panels, making a very rigid and durable structure. The old L-head six weighs only 50-60 pounds less than a fully equipped SBC!
These old unitized bodies are built much stronger than later "three box" designs that don't have a common rail running the length of the body. All unit bodies made after 1965 or so use the "three box" design (engine box, passenger box, trunk box). Three box use the rocker panels for longitudinal support of the passenger compartment then have rails for the trunk/rear suspension and engine compartment/front suspension that overlap the middle box under the floors. The main tie-in with the center box is actually the side to side reinforcements built into the middle box floor and the inner fender panels that extend from the firewall and rear body out.

Another 59 Rambler
|You didn't learn any of that from someone who knows Ramblers!! You don't need to swap onto a frame -- that's one of the toughest unit bodies ever made, and it will handle a V-8 EASILY, even a big block. The torque tube setup is great, but does have to go for an engine swap other than a GEN-1 AMC V-8. Don't let people who don't know these cars steer you wrong!! The existing front suspension is tough too, it will take a lot of abuse and the trunnion joints are easy to replace. 64-69 American, Javelin, and AMX models used a hard to replace upper trunnion, but the big cars (Classic, Ambassador, big Rambler) used a simpler, easy to work with trunnion joint. The GEN-1 AMC V-8 was about the size and weight of a late model BBC and the suspension worked fine for it, and SBC would be a piece of cake! I'll have to check my books to make sure the crossmember could accept welded on engine mounts -- I seem to recall it's stout enough even though AMC used four corner mounts like a 55-57 Chevy through 1962. If not one of the universal bolt in hot rod or early truck crossmembers work (I know a couple people who've used them).
Potential donors
I would look at the chev metric chassis..that is 70's monte carlo..
the ford ltd is an option as well..
Later caprice chassis is also usable..
Morison and Jegs have tube frame kits that may be an option as well..
In any case I would be looking for a complete donor car..including the engine and tranny..
Measure the width of the chassis to see that the rambler body will be wider that the donor chassis..
You may have to channel the body to get the body height down to where you want it to be..in fact I would expect to have to do this..once you have the chassis prepped then you will see just where you have to cut when you set the body down..
You may wish to keep the donor body around as it may be possible to cut the floor pan out of the donor body and adapt it into the Rambler Body..
This seems to me to be a fun kinda project..keep ya occupied for a while..
59 Rambler Wagon chassis Swap ?
Might buy a 58 Rambler Wagon, but need to know what I'm getting to.
All I Can say is WOW!
I found more information on AMC ramblers here, then on the entire internet.
I just learned that the car is a uni-body and has some difficulties of swapping in a V8 and the Torque tube setup is undesireable.
What should I look for in a full frame swap i.e. 1/2 ton truck, ford LTD, or 70's monte carlo chassis? I figure this would probably be the easiest and most cost effective? I'm just worried the body might set to high on a full frame?
So I need some ideas on what to look for to avoid the high body sitting on top of chassis look?
I am willing to get a longer wheel base so it can be shortened to fit.
I would like to do entire frame swap so I would only have to worry about the following:
Engine clearance between the fenders and firewall.
Wheel clearence inside rear and front inner fenders.
Cutting hole for Transmission shifter.
Steering column line up.
Body mounts
Anything I missed?
I would like to aviod building an entire front end and rear end to house the drivetrain, motor, and front and rear suspension.
Any info would be great!
