If it is ok at 60 and not at 70 you most likely have an air flow through the radiator issue. If you park the car and run it at 2500 rpm does it heat up with the fan on. Air flow or an under sized radiator can exhibit the issues you have described. Timing as well but it would not be the first place I would look. You can eliminate it being timing by following F-Birds advise and it wont cost you a dime.
Small changes to the grill area and radiator position can make a huge difference to the airflow.
Also as mentioned the fan does little at highway speed.
Cooling SBC
Wow! you guys have really impressed me with your knowledge. I will be getting an HEI distributor with vacuum advance shortly and try that. If no improvement I'll remove hood sides and try that. The electric fan I am currently running does not have a shroud and I have about 1/2 inch clearance from the front of the water pump to fan. I know if I had built the car originally things would be a lot different but I'm trying to make do with what I have.
Thanks to everyone for your ideas and comments. I will let you know how it works out.

Here's the steps:
1) Be sure to have a wire inside of the lower radiator hose so it won't collapse at RPM. Wrap a coat hanger around a broom handle and make one if you need to.
2) Check the temp gauge calibration
3) Be sure your radiator cap will actually hold 16 psi.
4) Drive it with the sides or all the hood off and see if the problem continues.
5) Be sure that your water pump is at least overdriven, shoot for 120%. SBC have horrible hot spots in the head passages so you must shove a bunch of water through them to stop the steam pockets. You cannot shove water through a SBC head too fast. Velocity/water pressure through the heads is extremely important. High flow thermostat strongly recommended.
6) Does the fan shroud restrict ram air through the radiator? Drive it without the shroud if needs be.
7) Definitely install a properly calibrated vacuum advance. It will probably increase your gas mileage 2 mpg or more, and improve part throttle response, as well as make the engine run cooler, as stated above.
8) Any decent system with 50/50 antifreeze should cool without any "magic from a can" coolant additive.
9) Stop the electric fan from running above 35 mph. You should not need any fan above 35. The wind will make it windmill anyway.
10) High flow thermostat strongly recommended.
geez they wiped out my post total.
Most rods push the radiator right up to the front fairline of the radiator housing. You will note that modern cars set the radiator back a bit and box the inlet in on the sides. This is done to force a high pressure area to form over the face area of the radiator inside the radiator frame. When the radiator is in the classic old car position, the high pressure area forms ahead of the car and spills considerable air around the radiator frame and hood rather than thru the core. It was suggest that you put an air dam under the forward position of the engine to create a low presser area under the engine, I agree, this would help. I'd add to that the thought of bringing the radiator as far back in the nose cowl as possible and box it to the grill tightly to build a ram air box leading into the core.
The engine needs vacuum advance. It's eliminated for race cars because they don't cruise on partial throttle, therefore, don't need it. Street engines need it, especially where the engine has a lot of power against the resistance and weight it has to move. In this situation, the throttle is mostly closed and with the 2.73 gears the revs pretty low. Combine that with the 305's rather lazy combustion chamber, there just isn't enough advance. In this situation the actual charge density is quite low which results in long burn time. The burn doesn't go to completion and is still flaming when the exhaust valve opens which overheats the valve, and the exhaust port, which gets to be a cooing system problem. So at low RPMs and a nearly closed throttle the manifold has a lot of vacuum and the engine needs a lot of advance. So using a vacuum controlled advance is just the perfect solution for this situation. At low RPMs with a mostly closed throttle the vacuum advance pulls the timing up to get an early start on the slow burning mixture. As the throttle is opened and the RPMs come up, the mixture density increases and so does it's burn speed. But there is a hole in the burn speed increase up to about 3000 RPM. Here the vacuum is going down and the vacuum advance with it, but the RPMs are coming up so the centrifugal takes over and hits it's max around 3000, where nature takes over and continues to burn faster in almost perfect proportion to RPM till you get up around the horsepower peak where charge density starts to drop off as the cylinder just can't get a full breath in the time it has for the intake stroke.
So for a street driven engine, especially one that doesn't need much throttle opening and turns at modest cruise RPMs. A vacuum advance is a requirement to get the burn over with before the exhaust valve opens. You can soften the centrifugal springs to overcome this, but this usually over-advances the engine in the 2000-3000 RPM range and makes it really sensitive to fuel octane where more is better, but in many cases you just can't get that much octane, so the engine tends to be pingy.
Point ignition is way obsolete, again at low RPMs it has big problems with arcing due to the time of opportunity. Add to that the coil build up time is slow as the voltage these things operate at is just to low to shock the coil into getting on with business. I ditch it for an HEI, that overcomes many of the inductive ignitions problems of weak and slow spark. Or you can keep the points and take the power load off them and just use them to switch a CDI box like those from MSD. Pertronix, or Mallory. These things really boost coil output putting an end to miss and late fires typical with points and low density mixtures. this should do a lot to putting the heat of combustion into pushing the piston instead of cooking the coolant.
Thanks for the advice. My 305 is using an Accel points distributor that does NOT have vacuum advance. Also, the front of the coupe is pretty low to ground so I'm not sure there would be room for a spoiler but I will check. I am also thinking about adding heat control wrapping to headers to try and keep heat out of engine compartment. I would appreciate hearing from any one with experience using exhaust wrap, (it's like tape you wrap around header pipes). Does it really reduce underhood temps?
Thanks again.
Sounds like at higher speeds it is unable to get hot air out of the engine compartment fast enough. You could try a chin spoiler under the bottom of the radiator/core support like modern cars have(usually rubber), this creates a low pressure area behind the spoiler helping to draw the hot air that has come through the radiator out the bottom of the compartment.
Are you running a vacuum advance on the distributor?? Vacuum advance creates cooler running at cruise speeds.
Cooling SBC
My street rod has a nearly stock (except mild cam) 305 Chevrolet carbureted engine with 350 turbo transmission in a 1932 Plymouth PB Coupe that is running hot at around 70 mph (approx. 2500 RPM). Rear axle is mid 70's Maverick with 2:73 gearing. We use electric fan (ON all the time) typical 50/50 antifreeze to water coolant, and am running a full, stock, hood. Radiator is Griffin alum. for street rod. Transmission has after market oil cooler. Was driving a few days ago in 70 - 75 degree weather when temp gauge reached about 230 - 240 degrees. Pulled off freeway and when I slowed down to 45 mph gauge returned to 180 - 190 degrees. Went back on freeway and kept speed around 60 mph and didn't seem to have temp problem all the way home. I have changed thermostats multiple times (current one is Stant 45356), flushed system, changed water pumps, and I don't know what is going on. Can anyone help figure this overheating problem out.
Thanks in advance.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mikhail1973, Jan 14, 2008.
Sign me up. It sounds like a wonderful place.
Yeah, except you may get to pay for anything, especially if the highway patrol needs $$$ for something - like having a dirty car, or not having a 1st aid kit in the car. They have checkpoints throughout where they randomly pull people over and check their documents. Wonderful place, indeed.
By the way, as long as we're on the topic of police... I noticed that I was about 10 times more likely to get pulled over in my little home town in Michigan than I am here in Chicago. The nice thing here is that they don't really look at speeding tickets as a significant source of revenue. And or course, they actually have police work to do here. The best part about my home town was that there were 4 cop cars at the station and they always parked them in an outdoor lot. So, if you saw all 4 there, you could drive on the sidewalks if you wanted.
They do that in Russia (driving on the sidewalks). It did look strange when I saw it the first time.
ESPN - LeBron admits to driving 101 mph, provides no guarantee it won't happen again - NBA
you always plead not guilty. if you show up to court and the cop doesn't, you get off. 101 isn't that fast on the highway. if it was in a residential area, or subdivision, or downtown, or something like that...sure.
LeBron is supposed to be a role model. Driving over 100 mph is wreckless and he should be embarrased by his actions.
He shoulda just spoke some German and sprinkled the word "autobahn" in a few times........
If the police do not have radar it is pretty easy. It they have radar it gets more complicated. Without radar all you have to do is prove that there is reasonable doubt that the police could be wrong. I beat one ticket, it wasn't speeding but a red light, by asking the officer where he was when I supposedly went through the light. His location was such that it was unclear whether I went through a yellow or a red. I won the case. I have never had to beat a speeding ticket. But if they don't have radar the question always becomes how do they determine your speed. Clearly if you are going 101 in a 65 zone it is pretty difficult to say that you weren't speeding but there are still technicalities. Like they have to have clocked you for a minimal time to identify whether you were speeding or not. Say that is 10 seconds. They have to prove that they clocked you for 10 seconds. They can't just say. We clocked him for 10 seconds especially if their vehicle is moving on a street that is perpendicular to the one you were on. If they cannot prove that you were also guilty of reckless driving it is helpful to you. Bottom line is. Is that it is their responsibility to prove that you were speeding according to the law and that includes being able to prove that you were moving at a speed greater than the legal speed limit for a minimal period of time. If they clock you with their speedometer and they haven't had their speedometer on that vehicle calibrated within the required time period for periodic calibrations, most likely they will lose the case and you will win if they claim that you exceeded the speed limit by only a few mph because under those circumstances there is reasonable doubt that you were speeding, so you are innocent. If you ever get nailed with a ticket. Research what they have to do to prove that you violated the law and then attempt to show to the court that they didn't or couldn't have proven that you were violating the law based upon the circumstances at the time that the police claim that you violated the law. The above is not legal advice and is not to be construed as such.
If it is wreckless, then where is the crime?
Wreckless driving is a violation of the DMV code, at least in CA. Vehicle Code Violations used in Negligent Operator Counts
LOL. I guess it's okay if there weren't any recks.
Depends on what you are driving.................
Guy should have his chauffer doin the 100mph while he's sipping cool ones in the back seat........He should be livin the High Life.........
In California, you have to drive at least 85 to keep up with the rest of traffic.
Hell...LaBron did that to us last post season! What else is new?
It's ironically similar to the NTSB's term "near miss" in referring to aviation close calls :nerd2:
At least in So. CA that was 30 years ago. Today you are lucky to be able to average 8.5 mph on the freeways, unless you drive on them between 11:00 PM and 4:00AM and Thanksgiving, Super Bowl Sunday and a few other days here and there.
shouldn't wreckless driving be a good thing? like, wreck-less? they should call it wreck-full driving instead. :O
Separate names with a comma.

In the first U.S. application of a solar-powered anti-icing/de-icing system on bridges, Missouri DOT (MoDOT) is testing how well the sun melts away winter weather maladies on two structures.
The surface heating system prevents snow, ice, and especially black ice from forming on pavement while also serving as an alternate energy source.
Functioning similarly to radiant heating in a home's floor, the method involves installing tubing in the bridge deck and pumping a heated, antifreeze, water/glycol solution through the 5/8-inch polyethylene tubes to keep the deck from freezing. Waterproof solar panels mounted near the bridge provide energy to heat the solution and fuel each pump. The automated system is activated when the temperature drops to 38° to 40° F.
The test bridges are part of MoDOT's Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program, which is replacing 802 of the state's 10,267 bridges by the end of 2013. "We didn't want to tear up good decks, so we needed to find structures that were scheduled to get new decks," says Dennis Heckman, a bridge engineer for MoDOT.
Both concrete bridges — which were chosen because they have right of way available, face south (making the most out of the sun's rays), and aren't shady — are located in urban areas and experience about 10,000 cars a day.
The new system is quite a change from the agency's widely used snowplow-with-ice-spreader method, which uses about 173,000 tons of salt each year and costs MoDOT about $20 million annually. For this project, MoDOT is paying $183,000 to design, supply, and install the systems, but it can sell back any unused energy to local utilities (local electricity company AmerenUE has expressed interest in purchasing the energy). Plus, the solar panels can also be used to power a bridge's lighting system.
The system may also extend the lifespan of bridges. "The use of rock salt shortens their useful lives," explains Heckman. Water and chemicals are also among bridges' biggest enemies.
Pave Guard Technology Inc. of Lee's Summit, Mo., which developed the technology, has been installing the system for more than a decade in residential applications such as driveways, walkways, and patios, and anticipates that it will will double the lifespan of the Missouri bridges. The company is gaining the attention of potential commercial and government customers, and is in talks with several other state transportation departments and the Federal Highway Administration, whose approval is required to use federal funding. Government agencies are showing more interest in solar-powered radiant heating as they become plagued by the increasing costs of repairing potholes and replacing concrete and asphalt damaged by freeze/thaw cycles, says Pave Guard COO Tom Casey.
Construction is scheduled to begin this month. If the test bridges prove to be cost effective and dependable after two winter cycles, MoDOT will consider wider implementation, says Heckman.

I'll tackle this first: No, don't go to a 15" diameter for this car. The sizes that most commonly fit are the 235/60R15 or 245/60R15 (although the 245s, depending on the width of the wheel, could rub.
The best fitment, in my opinion for your car in a 16" diameter would be the 245/50R16. Now, there's not a huge variety, but you can get some well balanced tires for your car. Two tires right off that I would likely recommend if I were to sell them to you, would likely be the BFGoodrich G-Force Super Sport AS or the Michelin Pilot Sport AS Plus. Performance between both tires would compliment what you have already done to the car, without being so aggressive that you break something. And even if you don't plan on driving in wet weather, the siping will allow better cooling efficiency.
What makes the Michelin better than the BFGoodrich, though, is the banded Aramid (also known as Kevlar) strips that are laid over the steel belts. Although more expensive, they don't react to the cold (or hold memory-producing flat spots) like a nylon overlay.
Funny, I haven't seen the Kumho 712 in a long time. I didn't think anyone would still have those on their cars!
What size tires to use for best off the line acceleration 0-60 mph (1968 Firebird)
This is a 1968 Firebird, with no modifications to the body, a pure street driven car with all the accessories less a/c. It's got Hotchkis total vehicle system consisting of sub-frame connectors, rear leaf springs and front coil springs with Bilstein shocks and the front & rear sway bars. Also PST poly-graphite complete front end kit and body mount bushings. Overall the car is stiff and handles great around the corners.
The engine is a 350 SBC with stock 64cc #492 angle plug heads (2.02/1.6 valves), flat top pistons, around 9.5:1 compression, XE256H cam, weiand stealth manifold, 670 cfm Holley street avenger carb, 4-2-1 headers (Doug's Tri-Y) followed by a Magnaflow 2.5" dual exhaust. I happen to enjoy the wide torque band and the throttle response of this combination. It's never been on a real dyno, but desktop dyno shows about 400 torque @ 3500 rpm and 322 hp between 4500-5000 rpm. It doesn't see past 5500 rpm. I never race it. My kind of fun is the best acceleration off the line and 0-60 times. I think this setup has enough torque for me now, if I could ever manage to keep the tires planted all the time.
The driveline is kinda weak. I have a 700r-4 with no mods in it and the rear is GM 8.5" 3.23 ratio gears with a cone type limited slip. I like the 700r4 giving me a deep 1st, compensating for the low rear gear (I think going higher would give me even more wheelspin with a street tire). For now, I don't care that the 2nd gear is too far away from the 1st gear ratio since I have good low end torque.
Well, the driveline has been holding up for now, but I don't know for how much longer. I definetely need some improvements here, but first, I need to get rid of my sorry tires!
They're Kumho 712's 255/45/16 rear on 8" rims, and 225/45/16 front on a 7.5" rims. They're long overdue for a replacement and I'm trying to find out a sensible size for my setup. I'm not sure if the wide rear tires really suit my driving style. How about 225/50/16 Eagle F1's on all four corners? I know that wouldn't look anywhere near cool, but I think I will get better heat management with that size and much better adhesion over Kumho's. Also how about going down to 15" diameter wheels? Would more sidewall height give me better traction off the line? (and for the downside, hurt cornering stability?) I'd really like to see what you guys think about it.
There's huge information everywhere on how to get more horsepower, but when it comes to tires, there's a whole lot of options and even more misinformation. I think this is often overlooked but I feel this is where the biggest gain would come in, regarding 0-60 times. If I can manage to minimize wheelspin, I'll go after some cal-trac style bars, a better limited slip and a beefier 700r-4 in short term.

In a Der Spiegel interview with Chinese human rights advocate, Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese dissident raised issues concerning the impact of an Olympic boycott on the fight for freedom in his nation. When asked about the impact of a boycott, he said it "wouldn't be a good way to punish China. If the Games fail, human rights will suffer. The government would stop paying any attentin to the rest of the world, I personally think. We want the games and we want human rights to be respected."
Liu believes the road to democracy is moving, even though slowly and there are indications the Chnese government will gradually allow greater freedom of expression. There is no timeline for democracy but the general direction is in that direction.

GSD with Separatio Anxiety - how long before leaving them home alone?
Background: Three weeks ago now my wife and I adopted a year and a half old GSD who was abandoned at a local animal hospital when she was pregnant. This dog was with the prior owner for her first 14 months, and he mated her with another GSD. When she had the puppies she spent nearly a week at the animal hospital, then 8 weeks at a foster home, another few days at the hospital, and then we took her in. So there has been ALOT of moving around for this poor lady.
We got her on a Thursday, and went to go to work the following day. I would have taken off the next day but we are currently in a black out period for vacations/days off until April 15th, so it was just not an option. After she was home alone for about 3 hours one of my neighbors called (apartment complex) to tell me my dog had been crying loudly for the prior 3 hours. I immediately went home, thankfully only living 5 minutes from work, and absolutely amazed that there was no destruction of anything, just a very sad dog.
Since then we have been working with here to cope with her anxiety and learn how to be home alone without any problems. We have made immense progress, with the first day of training her only making it 5 seconds without whining, to the other day she went an hour and a half before I stepped back inside. We have been dropping her off with my mother during the days to avoid any further full blown panic attacks, and have been continuing to work on desensitizing her to our getting ready routines as well.
Heck when we first had her when she came across new people, which we had to do since someone had to babysit her during the day, she would submissively urinate, which she no longer does...she has come a very long ways.
At this point we have consistently left her for 30-90 minutes with no issues. Typically we walk down the stairs in the building, tip toe back up the other side, and just hang out in the stair well watching her on Skype for any signs of anxiety, increasing the time slowly, to avoid any anxiety while we are not in the apartment.
My question is this, at what length of time would you be okay leaving a dog with SA for hours at a time? I have seen some articles that state after your dog is able to go 30-60 minutes, they should be set for a while, do any of you have experience with this? We also started crate training her, when she is happy with her crate, would we be able to jump right into the longer periods of time, or should we start from square one?
Thanks for your help and suggestions!

Do they have a website ??
Why just a jacket? Do the bees not sting legs too? I am new at this and have seen the jackets in the catalogs, but I have not understood why the different choices.
Jacket? My summer uniform from April - September is short pants. A jacket alone would make for a bad day.Steve
So Jp what are the prices looking like? I have a friend that wants to get into the bees but he first wants to start out by helping me. I am also trying to present bee keeping to the FFA here, hopefully some kids would be interested.
Just a general going price, $250, $500, less than $100?

Using XP again - oh the memories
September 16, 2009, 03:29:58 PM »
I admit, I use Tracey's netbook a lot - it is the one setup option that allows me to watch TV and surf at the same time since my 17 inch HP Laptop is connected to the HDTV and there is no picture in a picture option.
But the Laptop has Visit, a operating system many people just have never liked and this little Netbook uses XP Service Pack 3 (fully updates with all Windows program fixes to date.
What a simpler life it was under XP, sure you can argue that Vista was built more for home and business networking, but beyond that it always seems like more work than XP.
I have install a great deal of programs in the Netbook and everything runs wonderfully, only seeing any lag issues in the processor differences which you need to expect.
It is a walk down memory lane, XP was many peoples favorite system and Windows 7 with a 10-22-09 due date in the stores supposedly takes the charm we miss in XP and jacks it up many notches which exceed what Vista does with home networking. Indeed the best of both worlds.
Those who have taken the Win7 betas for a test drive and although most of us missed the fact it was out there and free since 2006 and now it is ready for your upgrading, almost.
Ideally, we will see more computers in every home than TV sets. The cost of these min-laptops is so low that most families can afford to get their kids their own PCs and have simple access to wireless networking. The idea of course to make the Internet in every room in your house, whether a unit is desktop or carried into that rare room you'd never surf in days past.
I'm laying on my couch in the living room, knees up and netbook on my lap, relaxed and nearly weighless at well under 3 pounds. I carry this thing about NEVER geting tired because of the feather weight - I cannot say that about my laptop which has a case nearly weighing as much as the laptop. With the Netbook, a simple sleeve that it slides into and a flap that tucks the opening into the sleeve is all I need, if even using that - around the house I just grab up the Netbook by the back end where the six celled battery is located, it is the widest spot and makes for secure grabbing and carrying.
But XP did have and still has a great fan base. Its low use of processor resources alone made it affordable when memory costs were a lot higher than today. Today, memory is unimaginably cheap - we have SD memory chips that hold 16GIGS of storage that sell for under $30, I think next to portable hard drives, like my 1000 gigabyte drive which was under $150 - remarkable prices by any accounts.
But the 16GIG SD cards can store about 20 full length movies, thousands of songs, complete backup for any operating system, practically every photo you could take in a year as a casual home photographer, full length home movies and these cards can be kept in your wallet, easily shipped and shared with friends and 16GIG is a lot of storage for something the size of a Scrabble tile - it is almost magical technology.
You all know I'm a big movie buff and I go back to shiftwork in a few weeks - when I do I'll be keeping most of my computer HD space freed and using these high capacity SD chips to move videos from one PC to another and always have a dozen or more movies on a chip I can cover up with my thumb.
So Win 7 surely has gotten ome new features which will have a learning curve, but the reviews and walk throughs I have seen really explain how great it was thought out and made to meet the needs of how we now live in the ENTERTAINMENT AGE - we left the communication age a few years ago, although it is every bit as popular, we now want videos, TV, movies, concerts and anything that makes on-demand entertainment available only one click away.
What a neat time to be around, seeing USABLE MINI-PCs like this Samsung N120 at half the size and 1/3rd the weight and triple the battery life as my 2 year old laptop is wild. So many devices exist from mp3s to cellphones loaded with every bells and whistles are out there, but they all have the same two flaws that make them more geared toward the younger users 1) tiny screens are NOT freindly to anyone for long term use and 2) these thumb-operated "QWERTY" style keys are just too tiny to do much on besides text messaginng. But the Netbooks have typically a screen about 10 inches, a nice processor and large hard drive, as well as webcam for seeing and talking to anyone, freind or family or work literally anywhere on Earth and the ability to type on a fullsized keyboard using normal typing skills, not thumbing your way around and having to use abbriviations - yes, you can just type and enjoy a bright screen with easy to see text and brillant still and moving images.
So, I have mentioned I'm waiting until Win 7 is preinstalled in this N120 before I buy my own, Tracey will likely keep the XP in this one and I see no real reason for her to upgrade. So hail to XP your reign has been long and yourfollowing has stayed dedicated to your more simplistic look and feel. I hope that after a few years of Win7 we can all say the same thing about it - something tells me it will be loved and I think its simpler searching features, connectivity and home networking options will make it a classic.
Lastly, I decided that I will likely also get the WHITE N120 from Samsung, I will probably mark it with a label or something so Tracey and I aren't grabbing the wrong machines, but the white is very nice, it is BRIGHT even in subdued room light. I'm not big on black prducts, they all seem to disappear in a darker room, trying to see the white lettering (or God forbit some whacked color on knobs etc.) and to have white keys, frame, wrist rests, shell and the only back is the print on the keys - the black stands out and I need far less light to see what I am doing, so white is my choice for now, unless they come out with a greater color selection - they did add blue, but I find the same issues as the black color design Netbooks.
Lastly, soon everyone will have a PC of some type or another in your home - at least those old enough to care for one. I could by three of these Netbooks for what I paid for my Laptop, and although it is a very nice HP Notebook, it isn't worth 3 of these Netbooks for the casual user, especially a family with kids.
I get a kick out of the back-to-school commercials where they have middle-school kids holding up a 17 to 20 inch laptop that they want you to believe they use in school. Honestly, this would wear out these kids in minutes toting these monsters from class to class, removing them from thier cases, setting them up, waiting for them to boot and then the class is over and repeat the process over and over. A Netbook can lay on your desk and you still have room for books, it boots up in under 30 secs, handles all school like software as well as a larger laptop and you just fold it up, toss it back in your backpack and on to the next class. It is so light you don't know if it is a schoolbook or a computer.
The world is changing, I suggest that you keep an eye on stock as we near Christmas, I totally believe that Netbooks are the stocking stuffers of 2009 and some investor may make a hefty profit jumping in before the rush!
Later today and tonight I'll be running the Netbook Cam at
- I'll post when. I hope to go to the library and play there for a while today, it should be cool having the people and rows of books behind me in the cam.
I guess the best part is that you feel like you have a computer for the first time - remember the thrill of getting that first PC, even in the old days when they really didn't do much, it was still exciting... That is the excitement of getting a Netbook and then multiply that about a million times and imagine your kids face when opening up a gem like these that are geared ideally for smaller hands. I can't imagine any child NOT loving these, of course peer pressure exists and I'm sure some yingyang would bust a kid about why they didn't get a real computer. My answer, big isn't always better, and often isn't. So go play with a Netbook at your local electron stores, hopefully they'll have them Internet connected and see what they can do and IF your child struggles in any school subject, you have an affordable way to catalyst them to passing grades and without a doubt, if you have a child getting on an honor studnt list - these thingsare the perfect gift to congratulate them and imagine how much more study time will fill their day when they can flop on the floor, sit at the table or lay in bed and do anything with the comfort of the world they create and enjoy.
My friend and coworker several months back made a deal with his 6th grade son that if he passed school on the honor roll, he'd get his own laptop, the son did and the father followed through with his promise buying him a HP 15.4 inch laptop. The son loves it, it goes everywhere with him.
Now after seeing the Netbook, he is going to buy one for the rest of the family to use as needed, from his 9 year old daughter to him and his wife. Between the two computers, the desktop will remain in the basement where it rarely got used - his wife didn'twant a whole desk in the living area dedicated to the desktop. Now, they use a small folding table or take the laptop to the dining room table or down on the floor and they use the compter 10 times or more than they ever did the desktop. Once they get the Netbook for Christmas, I foresee the whole family surfing and learning and entertaining themselves as never before.
He was a perfect example about having an older computer, at one tme on dialup - he said they rarely use the computer and he couldn't justify cable internet or a updated computer. I explained that the whole reason no one used it WAS because of the dialup, outdated hardware and location. I told him it has to be fast, portable or centrally located where everyone has easy access. Now that they have the HP Laptop on cable, the Internet is used much of the day, everyone takes turns using it and school work is taken to a whole new level. With the addition of a Netbook, this family will have all the tools that they will need to be Internet saavy and always learning because now it is fun, not going to the basement (which is very nice) but still out of the way. It is like home GYM equipment, if it is tucked in the closet or under the bed, you will NEVER use it.
So, I talked a lot here, been sick lately with some flu or something - today I felt like typing and getting the whole family into computing and doing it affordably is a great topic. I'd like to hear your thoughts :)

Just a couple of comments John. Regards XP, it is on this computer and on my laptop ( possibly the before SN120 model) I am never conscious that XP is operating there in the background. It has just worked from day 1 on both machines.
Only an hour ago on talkback radio a very strong response to TVs and computers being in most rooms in a house received many negative responses from both the so called experts and the general public as well.
Parents who have had problems with their children found that when these facilities were set up in one room the family seemed to be a happier group and much more cohesive even though it meant that headphone sets were used.
Anyway as my family would say these are only the ramblings of a grumpy old great grandad.
Hope Samsung come good with some sponsorship. they might even like to support the forum.

I think I need to add something... That is that with networking your family comes the responcibility of using parental controls on software, like Explorer and Firefox which have made it easy, even McAfee and I assume Norton have such features to prevent run-away usage beyond the santity of your family.
I like the mini laptops because of the fact that EVERYONE can share the same room, play multiplayer games across several screens, making the computer age version of board games something that parents and new age kids can enjoy family style. All computers when kids are involved need parental supervision, even when kids are here in the forum I ask parents to be with them, as hard as we work to keep it family friendly here, sometime things slip by (if only for minutes) that always get addressed by us, but parents always need to be proactive.
I never promote the idea of computers in a bedroom of a teen, either sex especially with builtin cams on these laptops - it just asks for trouble. I saw on the Doctors show the other day, them speaking of safe sex with teens being online cam sex between GF and BF, what a twist that takes a lot of thinking to even grasp an answer. Scary when having your kids doing a private show to their crush is better than "hooking up" but we live in a weird world today.
The most pride I feel for the members in the forum is the Lund Family, the creators of the Indiana John Movies - a whole family writing, acting editing and showcasing a series of videos that are sweeping Youtube - that is the family of our member Ernest t. Bass. The work and love needed to be inspirered to create incredible productions using family at all production levels is remarkable and deserve the Beemaster's Family of the Year Award!
But back to the topic, having the netbook in the kitchen tonight, streaming video feed to our Ventrilo members as I cooked Wild Rice an prepared MArinated Turkey Breast for the grill was a blast. Sharing simple things with friends with such neat technolgy is rewarding and fun.
To move that netbook anywhere in the house and outside would bring my world and theirs closer and although like a gun, the Internet can be a terrible thing if used wrongly - it is a magical tool that too many people sterotype with sick and deranged thoughts. Used innocently and in a family way, their is powers of wonder and excitement that can be achieved and it surely is the parents that need to control that with technolgy and with trust. But trust is something earned, children need to know that Mom and Dad have ways of always knowing where they have been and the knowledge of that alone should be enough to keep them straight and on a rightious path.
Nope... I'm not afraid of a computer for everyone, the more we have access too, the greater we can achieve the goals in our lives. Why should one child have to wait for another to finish internet research before that child can tackle homework, especially if the COST of multi-computering a home is within the grasp of most families.
I remember hearing a story, I'll keep it clean but you can use your imagination. One young man of about 16/17 years of age had such a small laptop and had been caught taking it into the bathroom for such teenage boy stuff, but the mother found out he wasn't just viewing things, he was broadcasting (he forgot to sign off one computer and took the other with him, the Mother saw the feed and literally broke down the door trashing his laptop.
The generation coming up today has options that us older folks never dreamed of and too many temptations. a close family, where the parents and kids interact is a safer family, it is when the parents blindly refuse to see what can happen with their kids and let them lock themselves in their room for hours a day are the parents who make such topics where negative feedback to multi-puting a home is even necessary to talk about.
In our case, it is just my wife and me. We are often all over the house doing different things. If she is in the laundry room folding clothes for an hour, then why one Earth shouldn't she be able to watch a show on Fancast to make her time somehow a bit more enjoyable. And when cooking, having a recipe site right in front of us in the kitchen is a nice luxury that makes the computing world work for us.
Lastly, about XP - indeed a solid and seemless sytem by almost all accounts and one that MOST people would gladly switch back to if there was indeed a switch on the Vista desktop. I hope Windows 7 is the easy but powerful software system bragged about by all the big tech sites. It might be like having XP 2010, a dream operating system that most of us would gladly use.
Oh.... and about Samsung. I did about 2 months research online about every computer I could find in the gendre and just believe it is the best. Surely not looking for anything from them and trust me wouldn't accept anything, especially advertising from them no matter how much I believe in their product. Mind you, the N120 is just one of thousands of Samsung products, I don't think I have ever owned anything else they have ever made. Nope... Beemaster.com and Forums is now and always will be commercial free.
I rarely endorse anything in the forums, I think you would have to search long and hard to find any product or even an eatery recomendation from me. I have this belief that JUST because I had a good meal somewhere has no bearing on how good the food would be when you go after my recommendation, so I keep my mouth shut on suggesting almost anything, especially beekeeping related stuff.
Honestly, the only food I have ver endorsed is the ribs at Texas Road House, I have been to several of them and they are consistantly good - so I don't mind suggesting those, but almost anything else, I leave for others to comment on.
All your points well taken and fully understood. It is such a shame in this world that the small amount of bad done ruins the innocense of the good that occur.

Calling it a "banner year" for in-state recruiting, Southern Utah coach Ed Lamb signed 24 players to letters of intent on Wednesday.
Eighteen members of SUU's recruiting class are from Utah, led by Jordan High School defensive lineman Zach Larsen.
A Salt Lake Tribune first-team all-state selection, he is the brother of Southern Utah All-American Cody Larsen.
"I'm really pleased with the Utah part of our recruiting," Lamb said. "It's the best year for us, in terms of recruiting the state, that we've ever had."
According to Lamb, his roster of recruits wasn't finalized until the final hours of the process.
"We had some real down-the-stretch battles for some guys," he said. "With three of four of them, it was really nip-and-tuck."
Among the out-of-state recruits signed by SUU are East Los Angeles College quarterback Aaron Cantu and 300-pound offensive lineman Daniel Fleischman, a transfer from the University of Wyoming.
Cantu led all junior college players with 3,358 passing yards last year. He is the heir apparent to record-setting quarterback Brad Sorensen, who is expected to be selected in the upcoming NFL Draft.
"Aaron had a lot of other options," Lamb said. "He's one of most highly recruited guys we've ever signed. He's very much like Brad a tall pocket-passer with a quick release."
Southern Utah signed two other players from California: defensive lineman Dashaun Cosby from Tennyson High School near Oakland and first-team all-CIF quarterback Tyler Fenton from The Webb School in Claremont, Calif.
The Thunderbirds also signed long snapper Chandler Dowell of Desert Vista (Ariz.) High School and running back Pete Williams of Denver South High.
Otherwise, Lamb stayed in Utah.
He signed four players from St. George, including all-state quarterback Ty Rutledge and offensive lineman Josh Anderson from Desert Hills High School and defensive linemen Weslee Moeai and Wesley Kauvaka of Pine View.

Samsung Reports $7.4 Billion Profit, Sells 56.3 Million Phones

Samsung Galaxy S III
(Source: mobilemag.com)
Samsung did well, but many worry that it won't see this amount of money rolling in next year as the smartphone market continues to grow competitive
Samsung reported strong financial earnings in the third quarter, but now faces slowed smartphone momentum in the future as the market gets more crowded.
Samsung posted $7.4 billion USD in Q3 2012 operating profit. Net profit rose 90 percent to $5.9 billion USD.
During the third quarter, Samsung sold 56.3 million smartphones, giving it a global market share of 31.3 percent. Apple only sold 26.9 million iPhones in the same quarter. The Samsung Galaxy S III alone accounted for 18-20 million shipments from July to September.
While Samsung did well in the smartphone department, particularly with its Galaxy line of devices, it didn't do so hot in chip sales. The chip division dropped 28 percent to $1 billion USD.
Samsung rocked a healthy profit overall this quarter, but many worry that the electronics maker won't see this amount of money rolling in next year as the smartphone market continues to grow competitive.
In fact, Samsung's profit is expected to grow 16 percent next year -- down from this year's predictions of 73 percent.
Samsung has other strong businesses, like tablets and OLED TVs, but analysts say these sectors aren't quite ready to sell the way that Galaxy is selling.
Samsung's tablets, in particular, haven't been able to keep up with the like of the iPad and Kindle Fire. Now, with the
iPad Mini
Windows 8
tablets making a fresh appearance into the market (not to mention Google's Nexus 7 and a refreshed Kindle Fire HD line has made its way into the market), Samsung seems to continuously fall behind.
Samsung also took a hard hit with tablets due to its patent war with Apple.
Apple worked pretty hard to ban Samsung's smartphones and tablets around the world, and successfully accomplished this in countries like Germany and Australia. Samsung launched a few lawsuits of its own regarding
3G patents
, and was also able to lift the ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia in December 2011. However, Samsung
wasn't so lucky in Germany
, where the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is still banned.
Back in August, a jury in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California reached an unfavorable verdict for Samsung, saying that the South Korean electronics maker was
guilty of violating technology patents
. In other words, most of Samsung's smartphones and tablets in question were found guilt of copying Apple's iPhone and iPad designs.
It was ordered to pay $1.05 billion in damages to Apple.
Earlier this week,
Samsung Display decided to cut ties with Apple
, saying it will no longer ship LCDs to Apple next year. Its LCD shipments to Apple have been cut more and more over time due to Apple wanting huge discounts, but the recent patent infringement drama couldn't have helped either.
More recently, an ITC judge found that
Samsung violated four Apple patents
, including
the flat front face with wider borders at the top and bottom, the lozenge-shaped speaker about the display screen; the translucent images for applications displayed on the screen, and the device's ability to detect when a headset is plugged in.
Samsung did get a little bit of relief in the UK, though, when a judge ordered Apple to post a notice on its UK site that Samsung didn't copy the iPad. Apple complied, but
in a very snarky way
"If you look at the last five years, if you look at what major innovations have occurred in computing technology, every single one of them came from AMD. Not a single innovation came from Intel." -- AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in 2007

Concord father charged over infant son's multiple fractures
CONCORD - A 22-year-old Concord father was arrested Thursday on first-degree assault charges for allegedly causing multiple fractures to his 21-month-old son.
Gregory M. Perkins turned himself in to police Thursday. He is charged with two counts of first-degree assault, a Class A felony.
The child appeared to have been assaulted on at least two occasions, police said.
While the child's injuries are serious, he is expected to make a full recovery, police said.
Perkins was freed on $20,000 bail. He is set to be arraigned May 13 at the 6th Circuit District Division.

Don't know much about religion? You're not alone, study finds.
Don\\\\\\\\\\'t know much about religion? You\\\\\\\\\\'re not alone, study finds.
Odds are that you know Mother Teresa was Catholic, but what religion is the Dalai Lama?
How about Maimonides?
And - no Googling - what's the first book of the Bible? How about the first four books of the New Testament?
Americans who can answer all of those questions are relatively rare, a huge new study has found.
In fact, although the United States is one of the most religious developed countries in the world, most Americans scored 50 percent or less on a quiz measuring knowledge of the Bible, world religions and what the Constitution says about religion in public life.
The survey is full of surprising findings.
For example, it's not evangelicals or Catholics who did best - it's atheists and agnostics.
It's not Bible-belt Southerners who scored highest - they came at the bottom.
Those who believe the Bible is the literal word of God did slightly worse than average, while those who say it is not the word of God scored slightly better.
Barely half of all Catholics know that when they take communion, the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ, according to Catholic doctrine.
And only about one in three know that a public school teacher is allowed to teach a comparative religion class - although nine out of 10 know that teacher isn't allowed by the Supreme Court to lead a class in prayer.
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life is behind the 32-question quiz, polling more than 3,400 Americans by telephone to gauge the depth of the country's religious knowledge.
Read CNN Belief Blog contributor and Pew adviser Stephen Prothero's take on the survey
"When it comes to religion, there are a lot of things that Americans are unfamiliar with. That's the main takeaway," says Greg Smith, a senior researcher at the think tank and one of the main authors of the survey.
Smith has a theory about why atheists did so well on the quiz - they have thought more about religion than most people.
"Very few people say that they were raised as atheists and agnostics," he explains.
About three out of four were raised as Christians, he says.
"They were raised in a faith and have made a decision to identify themselves with groups that tend to be fairly unpopular," atheists and agnostics, he says.
"That decision presupposes having given some thought to these things," which is strongly linked with religious knowledge, he says.
The single strongest factor predicting how well a person does on the religious knowledge quiz is education - the more years of schooling a person has, the more they are likely to know about religion, regardless of how religious they consider themselves to be, Pew found.
"The No. 1 predictor without question is simply educational attainment," Smith said.
The think tank also asked a handful of general knowledge questions - such as who wrote "Moby-Dick" and who's the vice president of the United States - and found a link between religious knowledge and general knowledge.
Very few people scored high on religion questions and badly on general knowledge, or vice versa.
People who were members of religious youth groups also did well, he said.
"Religious education is an important factor that helps to explain knowledge - people who participated in youth groups get an average of two extra questions right," he said.
Jews and Mormons were close behind atheists and agnostics as the group who did best overall on the religion questions, and white evangelical Protestants also tended to get more than half right.
White Catholics averaged exactly half right, followed by mainline Protestants and people who said they were "nothing in particular," both of whom got just under half right.
Black Protestants got just over a third of the questions right, and Hispanic Catholics just under a third, the Pew Forum found.
The survey was inspired partly by CNN Belief Blog contributor Stephen Prothero's 2007 book, "Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know - And Doesn't."
Because the Pew Forum couldn't find any indication that such a survey has ever been done before, it can't say if Americans today know more or less about religion now than they did in the past.
And the organization doesn't claim too much for its 32 questions.
They "are intended to be representative of a body of important knowledge about religion; they are not meant to be a list of the most essential facts," the Pew Forum says.
Only eight of the 3,412 survey respondents got all 32 questions right. Six got them all wrong.

Take the Quiz there. It's slow as heck. I guess it's testing Patience too. .
14/15. Technically I got the one about Joseph Smith wrong because I wasn't sure if they meant before or after he created his religion. I put before, I got it wrong.

Functional dependencies
From HaskellWiki
m (Fixed a link)
ConradParker (Talk | contribs)
(add links to tutorials about fundeps)
|Line 67:
|Line 67:
Revision as of 04:11, 11 September 2007
Functional dependencies are used to constrain the parameters of type classes. They let you state that in a multi-parameter type class, one of the parameters can be determined from the others, so that the parameter determined by the others can, for example, be the return type but none of the argument types of some of the methods.
1 Examples
Suppose you want to implement some code to perform simple linear algebra:
data Vector = Vector Int Int deriving (Eq, Show) data Matrix = Matrix Vector Vector deriving (Eq, Show)
You want these to behave as much like numbers as possible. So you might start by overloading Haskell's Num class:
instance Num Vector where Vector a1 b1 + Vector a2 b2 = Vector (a1+a2) (b1+b2) Vector a1 b1 - Vector a2 b2 = Vector (a1-a2) (b1-b2) {- ... and so on ... -} instance Num Matrix where Matrix a1 b1 + Matrix a2 b2 = Matrix (a1+a2) (b1+b2) Matrix a1 b1 - Matrix a2 b2 = Matrix (a1-a2) (b1-b2) {- ... and so on ... -}
The problem comes when you want to start multiplying quantities. You really need a multiplication function which overloads to different types:
(*) :: Matrix -> Matrix -> Matrix (*) :: Matrix -> Vector -> Vector (*) :: Matrix -> Int -> Matrix (*) :: Int -> Matrix -> Matrix {- ... and so on ... -}
How do we specify a type class which allows all these possibilities?
We could try this:
class Mult a b c where (*) :: a -> b -> c instance Mult Matrix Matrix Matrix where {- ... -} instance Mult Matrix Vector Vector where {- ... -}
That, however, isn't really what we want. As it stands, even a simple expression like this has an ambiguous type unless you supply an additional type declaration on the intermediate expression:
m1, m2, m3 :: Matrix (m1 * m2) * m3 -- type error; type of (m1*m2) is ambiguous (m1 * m2) :: Matrix * m3 -- this is ok
After all, nothing is stopping someone from coming along later and adding another instance:
instance Mult Matrix Matrix (Maybe Char) where {- whatever -}
You can express this by specifying a functional dependency, or fundep for short:
class Mult a b c | a b -> c where (*) :: a -> b -> c
Fundeps have lots more uses than just implementing C++-style function overloading, of course. See the paper by Mark P. Jones for further details.
Fundeps are not standard Haskell 98. (Nor are multi-parameter type classes, for that matter.) They are, however, supported at least in GHC and Hugs and will almost certainly end up in Haskell'.

text: It took me over a week to come up with a resolution. Last year it was to have 3 meatless nights a week and to bring my own bags at the grocery store. It hit me a couple nights ago that meals with my daughter were just not acceptable when I looked at her and she (and I) were eating dinner while reading books. So my resolution that if we are home, we set the table and light candles and have a dinner with no books or computer. My son came home (he has school and other commitments so he is not normally home) and saw us and started to laugh and then made a plate and joined us. We all lingered at the table and talked while he ate. I realized later that if we had been eating with our books he would have made a plate and eaten alone while watching tv in the other room. So no more missing opportunities!

Re: Remote Monitoring System for my sailboat
Wireless Boat Monitoring - Yacht Watchman
This does if all and wirelessly.
Update for anyone still looking for this. I went for simple, and matching my priorities: water intrusion, freezing temperatures and power loss (which can cause the other two).
All from Amazon: HomeSitter ($80), Xlink Bluetooth gateway ($40), old cellphone ($0), plus a battery-backed power source for the Xlink (UPS or 12v to 9v adapter). I also pay $10/month for "monitoring", which is the cost of the extra cell phone line for the boat.
If power is out for more than an hour, or there is water in the bilge or if the temperature drops below 45, or the batteries are weak, I get a phone call on my cell phone, home and work until I fix it or disable the callback.
Not perfect, but good.

Re: Remote Monitoring System for my sailboat
I went with this:
Have had it 4 years with no problems. Note this company McDermott Light and Signal makes equipment used by Commercial Cargo companies- equipment is heavy duty.
Boatsense (TM)
back to Marine Parts Express home
The McDermott Boatsense
Remote Monitoring System™ sends a message to up to 3 cell phones if you have a problem.
Why do you need a remote monitoring system on your boat?
According to the United States Coast Guard 80% of boats that sink or swamp, do so while unattended at the dock or on the mooring. With few exceptions these losses are due to pumps not moving water fast enough or scuppers that have become blocked. Until now boat owners have had to rely on other people or even their own eyes from a distance to monitor the condition of their boat. It is almost impossible to tell if a boat is taking on water before it becomes a problem without physically looking into the bilge and it is absolutely impossible to know if the batteries are getting drained without being there.
What is a remote vessel monitoring system?
A remote vessel monitoring system is any system that will notify a boat owner of problems on their boat while they are not present. These range from friends and neighbors to high end integrated monitoring and control systems.
Monitoring CPU and cell phone transmitter with antenna (included)
What are your remote monitoring options?
There are many extremely complex systems available that will notify you or a central location of many different conditions on your boat. These systems are very expensive to purchase and install and require a high monthly subscription fee.
Why purchase the McDermott Boatsense™ Remote Monitoring System?
The McDermott Boatsense ™ Remote Monitoring System is simple to install, use and is available at a fraction of the cost of more expensive systems. We are able to offer this extremely reliable low cost solution for two reasons. We monitor the most critical conditions, bilge level and battery condition, and we utilize the cell phone that you already have for controlling our system. Additionally we provide inputs for up to three other systems with an audible or visual alarm that you can connect and monitor remotely.
We have eliminated complex local control systems like keypads and screens that fail easily in the harsh conditions experienced in the marine environment. The McDermott Boatsense™ Remote Monitoring System will send a message to up to three cell phones to let you know when you have a problem so that you can take care of it before it becomes a time consuming and costly loss.
We have recently simplified the pricing for Boatsense. The unit includes a one-year subscription for the SMS/GSM network (AT&T / Cingular) cell phone monitoring and requires a three week pre-order.
The unit includes a 4" detachable external antenna and an internal battery monitor. Most customers find it farily straightforward to tie it into their secondary bilge pump system as a way of monitoring their boat water level and pump operations. If you need a bilge water level switch, we recommend the Rule 35A float switch and we would be happy to add one to your order. Please call for pricing.
What does it cost?

I hear you on the trust issues. I prefer raisin, by the way. However, you should be able to get local references and a computer can't actually stop by to take care of whatever your monitoring system may tell you is wrong. You may need to trust someone anyway. Further, after you buy all this stuff and pay the monthly cell network fee, a human may not be more expensive either.

I have not shot my Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum in a long time. May be it's time to take it out.
Do you have any handguns that you haven't shot in a long time? I mean good solid performers that are just sitting in the safe. I know I have a long list of handguns I haven't fired in a coon's age:
Unfired Revolvers:
Ruger BlackHawk 45 Colt
S&W M37 38 Special
S&W M13 357 Mag
S&W M66 357 Mag
S&W M29-3 44 Mag
I think it is time for me to take some of these to the range!

I will have to admitt that my safe holds several. It just dawned on me that I have a backup weapon in my locker at the Dept. that I haven't shot since we were issued guns over 10 years ago.
Heritage .22
Rossi .357
Taurus Model 689 .357
Ruger Blackhawk .357
And a lot of semi's
i rotate my stock
I've got many handguns, with one exception, all revolvers. They fall into "groups" and were bought over the years to study some particular phase of handgun shooting. During my phase of load development, I had a Smith & Wesson in 4" and 6" barrel lengths for .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45 Colt. I chronographed loads out of each to compare velocity/barrel length performance. In addition to these I bought Smiths for home defense and personal carry.
I got interested in Single Action revolvers as hunting guns and the first led to more and more. Then came building custom Rugers, just for the pleasure of owning, and shooting, such beautiies.
Also went through a NRA Bullseye target shooting phase, using Colt Officers Model Match revolvers in .22 and .38.
Currently I'm working up loads in two Ruger .44s, a custom .44 Special, and a custom .44 Magnum.
So, as I get involved in a "phase" other guns get neglected.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The College of the Holy Cross has named former Siena assistant coach and 2009 Albany graduate Dan McKeon as an assistant men's lacrosse coach, as announced by head coach Jim Morrissey and athletic director Richard M. Regan, Jr.
"I am pleased to welcome Dan McKeon to the Holy Cross men's lacrosse coaching staff," said Morrissey. "Dan brings instant credibility to the program with the experience he has gained as a Division I goalie at the University at Albany and as a coach at Siena and Union Colleges. It also does not hurt that Dan learned the fundamentals of lacrosse from one of the greatest lacrosse coaches of all time in Mike Messere of West Genesee High School. His knowledge of the game will have a significant impact on our players and I expect him to have a major role as a recruiter."
McKeon spent the 2012 season as an assistant coach at Siena as he coached the goalies and face-off specialists, while he also assisted the defensive coordinator. He coached Siena goalie Tom Morr who was awarded the 2012 MAAC Defensive Player of the Year. Siena went 11-5 overall as it won the MAAC regular season title and reached the MAAC championship game.
For the 2010 and 2011 seasons, McKeon was a volunteer assistant coach at Union. He coached goalie Sean Aaron who earned 2010 third team All-American and 2011 second team All-American accolades. Union won the 2011 Liberty League championship and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
As a four-year member of the men's lacrosse team at Albany as a goalie, he appeared in 42 games. As a sophomore he played in 18 games as the Great Danes won the America East championship and made a NCAA quarterfinal appearance. McKeon was also a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
A native of Camillus, N.Y., McKeon attended West Genesee High School as he was the starting goalie in 2004 and 2005 as the team won the New York state championship both years. He earned 2005 first team All-Central New York honors, while he was named to the third team in 2004. McKeon was a member of the 2004 Central Empire State Games team which won the gold medal.
McKeon was a Sociology major with a minor in Business Administration and graduated from Albany in 2009.

Well I finally got an old bay that I have been chasing around for about a month. It doesn't run at the moment but it will very soon. Plans for now are going through the brakes and cleaning the interior. I have to get a parts list going for the motor.
This is where she has been sitting.
Me and my cousin flat towed it back to his house. It is on a trailer now. I just have to get a buddy with a pickup truck to tow it.
The hinges for the hood rusted off so the deck is inside it.
I can't wait to get this beast on the road. Stay tuned for updates.

Tokyo Police Club
Buoyed by blog and MySpace buzz, Tokyo Police Club embarked on their largest tour yet that fall. Around the same time, A Lesson in Crime was reissued with wider distribution, and 2008 saw the release of the band's full-length debut, Elephant Shell. By the end of the year, Tokyo Police Club had already begun working on their second album, Champ, which they ultimately released in 2010. After touring the album heavily, they began writing songs in 2011; that year, they also embarked on the Ten Days, Ten Covers, Ten Years project, which found them cranking out covers of songs from the 2000s by artists including Kelly Clarkson and Queens of the Stone Age. The band supported Foster the People on tour in 2012, and amidst all this activity, Monks relocated to New York and Alsop moved to Boston. In 2013, they returned to the studio with co-producer Doug Boehm. Late that year, the first taste of their third album surfaced with "Argentina (Pts. 1, 2 & 3)," which was more ambitious and polished than much of their previous music. Early in 2014, the summery single "It's Hot Tonight" arrived just before Forcefield's March release. At the end of the year, Tokyo Police Club reconvened in New York City to record two new songs, and continued to record in short spurts whenever they had the time. These spontaneous sessions resulted in Melon Collie and the Infinite Radness, a pair of EPs that the band released during 2017. ~ Heather Phares

I've owned several Colt single action revolvers in my life.
My favorite was a Colt .22 LR that I shot from 1961 through 1980 when I traded it for something or another.
This past month I bought a Colt New Frontier model in 22 LR., :
I've been reading up on the gun and it's serial number indicates it's a 1981 0r 1982 birth date. These New Frontiers came with a stronger flat top frame, fully adjustable rear and ramp front sights, and a beautiful color case hardened frame with Colt's Royal Blue finish on barrel and cylinder.
It also comes with a transfer bar or hammer block . I understand the transfer block theory, but what I need some coaching on is exactly how it works.
On my used gun, when I open the loading ramp, the transfer bar is sticking into the loading slot.
I can easily push it in and out of the way and load & unload.
Then as I cock the Colt to shoot it moves out of the way and I can fire, but when I open the ramp to unload it's in the way again.
I'm sure something isn't working right, but I not sure what.
Is there a lubrication point that needs oil or a spring missig or an adjustment?
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Every day, your skin is exposed to the causes of Environmental Aging. UV ray exposure from the sun, air pollution and toxins in every day products all visibly age the skin. Environmental exposure causes the breakdown of skin-firming collagen and skin-smoothing elastin, resulting in wrinkles and fine lines. Damage to the melanocytes, skin's specialized pigment producing cells, creates dark spots and age spots on your face, chest, arms and hands. Murad Environmental Shield products harness the power of Vitamin-C and antioxidants to undo existing environmental damage to your skin and prevent future damage. Murad Environmental Shield products, used as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful skin that's better every day.
Before you select your anti-aging skin care regimen, make sure that you know the facts about Environmental Aging, wrinkles, loose skin and skin care.
