Theo Walcott is the EA SPORTS Player of the Month.
The England international only made one start in October - but the hat-trick he scored that night earned him top spot in our official club poll with 31.4 per cent of the votes.
The game in question was of course Reading in the Capital One Cup when Theo sparked our famous comeback from 4-0 down with a fine finish in the dying seconds of the first half.
He was credited with the last-gasp equaliser too after his shot just about crossed the line and then smashed Arsenal into a 6-5 lead to end Reading's resistance in extra time.
Theo was also on target at West Ham in October, coming off the bench to apply another excellent finish in a 3-1 win. Further substitute appearances came against Olympiacos and QPR.
Theo pipped Mikel Arteta to our October award, finished four per cent ahead of the consistent Spanish midfielder. Santi Cazorla - winner in August and September - was third.

Arsenal fan Alyssa Prasmusinto from Southampton has won the chance to present Theo with his award before Saturday's game at Emirates Stadium. She will also receive two tickets to that match.
"Theo was the star of the greatest comeback ever against Reading," said Alyssa. "I saw a renewed team spirit that night and all because of Theo!"

We have been convinced that the few that we vote in to represent the many, have the power and that no matter what, they have the final say. This is not the case. They are representatives for us, not to us. We are victims of a multitude of circumstances that have shaped the political and economical landscape into one that is difficult to navigate because we are not permitted because of our status. Some of the circumstances are cause-and-effect adn some are the bi-product of what we have been to blind to see coming to fruition. Again, this is an effective way to keep the middle class out of the way of the elitist's and their agenda. We are a nation of people that have been sold on the fact that the political specifics are too complicated for us to handle and that we should just let the politicians "handle" these problems. We have been conditioned to not think for ourselves and the notion of such is nearly illegal and looked upon in some cases as an "act against the state".
We need to understand that "Government" itself isn't the problem, it is the solution for itself when itself has grown un-govern-able, a symptom of its size. It's size does not insinuate that small government can only govern a small nation and a large government can govern a large nation. It insinuates that it is efficient in its roll to represent the nation as a whole, again something that rattles the agenda of the elite few.
Small, efficient, pointed, direct, concise and sharp. If you want a government that actually performs the way that the many need it to, it needs to be small, regardless of party. Although I believe that it does not come down to party, sides, weather you swing left or right, up or down, I do believe that if it were governed by laws that were written a few thousand years ago, we would be in a much better place. I am not the only one that thinks this way, as it was the reason that the notion of "One nation, Under GOD, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all" came to be.

I get that the sentiment post Bush was pretty much anyone non-Republican. I was just interested to see if all of the Obama supporters this time around were the same mindset or if they actually believed that he has done a great job as President.
So far no one has said that his presidential skills are why they are voting for him. It seems as though people are voting for the institution of or as in some cases anti - .

The closest for me would be the Libertarian party, which I used to associate with rather strongly, but I've changed my views over time and have come to think that we do need a strong social safety net (I know many on here feel otherwise, but that's a different debate altogether) and I just don't think that the private sector would be able to provide it, especially in the short term. I guess the older I get, the more to the left I begin to lean and the more liberal I get in general. Isn't it supposed to be the other way - shouldn't I have been a Democrat until 30 as the saying goes?
And as much as I would like a competitive multiparty system with multiple relevant choices all of whom might have a legitimate shot, and as much as I agree with some of the things those in places like the Green Party might stand for, when it gets down to it, they are more likely to have one or two policies that are so far out on the fringe that I couldn't vote for them either.

Then we get to social issues and who is the group pushing for abortion and euthenasia, population control, global warming? These are all ways to control the people. If the democratic party continues on its path you will not recoginze this country as where we came from.

NONE of the Obama supports have seen what we are about to go through with Obamacare. I feel sourouned by Obama supporters and they can't figure why I can't stand the guy, and then have no idea how to support or defend Obama when I through real facts about his presidency and what is to come with Obamacare.
Yet, they will still vote and re-elect this non-American muslim socialist.

Mr. Special Snowflake.
First let me mention that I did not vote for Obama in the last election, and am undecided who I will vote for in the coming election.
So lets look at a few things that have happened in the past 4 years
Economy: We could argue until the end of time and not agree on the causes of the most recent recession, and whether the action of the Obama administration have helped or hindered the recovery. But is obvious to me is that we were headed into the recession well before Obama took office, and the recently the recovery has gained traction and the economy is getting stronger. If you prescribe to the belief that the President in office at the time when something happens with the economy deserves the credit or blame for what happens you have to score this a plus for Obama.
Wars: When Obama took office we were involved in 2 wars. He pulled us out of one, is in the process of pulling us out of the second. We have been involved in a couple if situations but none have resulted in us being dragged into another war.
Health care: Under the old plan costs are skyrocketing, We pay more than any other modern nation, cover a lower percentage of our citizens that any modern nation, and are not as healthy as other nations. We may have the best health care, but it does little for you if you cant afford it. Obama says his plan will allow you to get it for less money. If you are one of the people who cant afford it, but will be able to if the plan works, why would you vote for him?
Taxes: Obama says he wants to raise taxes on the wealthy and maintain or lower them for everyone else. Not a bad sounding plan if youre not wealthy, as most arent.
Budget: Fair or not the came off looking like they just wanted to stand in the way of any agreement and Obama as the one that wanted to move forward, and who was willing to do what he had to do at least keep the government running.

The healthcare system is crazy and expensive but to allow the government to run it is even worse. We all know what happens when the government gets involved in business, look at the postal system and the public schools and medicade.
There has to be a better way and affordable for everybody but obamacare is FORCED on everybody except for the waviers he gave out to his big supporters. If Obama care is good enough for the American people then why is it not good enough for politicians and the ones lucky enough to recieve waviers?
Something is not right with obamacare.

I am a salesman by career, (yup, bring it, and the truth...we all are) and one of the oldest strategies for closing a sale is giving control to someone you hope to sell something to. By doing this, you are actually maintaining control, simply by the motion of giving it away. Anything that people develop a dependence on, is quicker taken away than originally given. Once it is taken away, then there is demand created regardless of where it comes from, thus enters control.
We need to progress in a way that what we need is actually provided by ourselves, for ourselves. A self sustaining system becomes dependent on itself, thus it's strength is in itself and growth becomes something of a sure thing.
We are set up to be dependent, not on ourselves but, the ones that have handed over control on the issues that they want us to care about and invest time energy and money into. Our eyes have been diverted away from the underlining that has been deteriorated away. This has been fueled by both sides. So to say that this originated from one side of the isle or the other, well that is the obtuse thinking that the elite are banking on us being blinded by. It fuels our anger and frustration and keeps the blinders up so we don't see what is actually happening.
This has been a great thread. It was mentioned that this has had great info. But it started with the question, did the current president do something that compels one to vote for him again? I don't think that the current administration can take credit for anything positive that has happened. As I mentioned before, I think these events were going to happen, and whoever was in office would have that to their credit.
OK. To bed I go. Good night and GOD Bless.

An Event Winner of the Recommendation Event Global Goonzu
*(my main)
Onward to a short guide.
3. Walkthrough Starts Here
Okay, you start off with 3 blank spaces, and need to create a new character. Chances are the names Tom, Dick, Harry have been taken already (lotsa people created in the past, probably not available now) The Blonde Haired ones are Eastern, the Black haired ones are Western, choose any you like. Although there are some weapons that either can carry are limited, but the last weapons are usable by either Eastern or Western so it's okay. I recommend choosing the one you are comfortable leveling with.
After that you might end up on a screen which you can type in a name for recommending. In turn the person who gets recommended gains some points from the server after you level past 20 (it's all on the server's part, you don't lose anything) so if you like, you can pop my name in there.
You start off in the middle of Hanyang, also our starter town. Now, at this moment you can start to choose a mentor first ( since they'll get more reputation points and you'll get money if they don't scam, no real loss to you). I might not be online so maybe you can look for someone else other than Luminiscence
At this moment if you want to switch to full screen, the button can be found in the bottom bar, last button on the right, Settings, click on Options to get to it. Once you reach the Options window, tag 'Use full-screen'. There are lotsa buttons there, it's useful to explore and you'd probably want to fiddle around with it to suit your needs. eg. Item, Monster, Town info. Character info, etc are all in-game needed information. Mini map's to the top right, zoomable via Wheel Mouse scroll, toggle with Ctrl+W. Note that you can sit down by pressing [insert], and pressing it again will let you stand up.
After that, your first quest. Where to start? Well, for beginners, talk to Sarah. She's found to the right of where you start off, the purple haired girl in a light red and white suit. Now you need to start doing her quests, else she won't let you leave town via the exit on the left, as well as the portally magical thingies on top and bottom.
First Quest : Open character info. It's the first button on top. They even have a small arrow picture for it.
Second Quest: Add Stat Points. Read what she says about what stat does what. I recommend you add 5 points in Agi. I've pondered on adding 5 vit points a long time ago, essentially its a really draggy reason why you should not add 5 Vit but I'll leave it as that. You redistribute points at level 10, so its useful to add stats so that you can level to 10 fast.
Third Quest : Ah, now you get to leave town. Defeat One Harmless Evil Raccoon. Dearie me, first thing you have to do is pummel a cute raccoon with your bare fists. Not too hard with 5 Agi, easier to hit, but if you're luck is really bad and you get pummeled in turn and die, its alright. You revive w/o any losses at a nearest town, which you can exit through the gates from the top(or bottom). Take note that you will have penalties for dying at level 20 onwards (10*Level in EXP loss and 10% of held Money(Marbles) lost) Head out via the left gate, and find those large head raccoons and click on it to watch your first battle. Not to shabby, you'll kill them faster later.
Fourth Quest : Refill your health with the pot that they give to you, The items button will bring up your items panel(apparently) and you can right click on the pot from there to use it. OR press F1, you pro gosu player you. F1 - F5 are hotkeys for the first 5 items in your inventory, so incidentally you can just do that.
Fifth Quest : Wow your reward, a Bamboo Sword! Not too bad for a newbie weapon. Actually it's horrible, once you create more characters you find yourself better off with a starter spear that has more damage.
Oh, the quest. Level to level 3 and add your stat points. Henceforth a small decision on what weapon you want to use. I'll recommend using a Bamboo Spear for damage(no skill books required, you can use another weapon, but for now we'll stick to a bamboo spear for ease), but what's that about money you say? Not enough ? Want to go beg for it? You don't really need to. What you can do is head for the Beginner Hunting Ground left of Hanyang(starter town, remember?). A small tentage with signboards of some monsters that holds an underground cave(neat!). Generally monsters spawn here indefinitely when you kill them and faster than those outside. They're also the weakest 4 types of monsters so you should handle them w/o a problem. Recommendation: Most of the monsters here drop materials that you can sell to the personal player shops outside or inside Hanyang for some fast and immediate money. Course you can sell them in the markets in the towns, but it'll take too long. You want that money now, right?
You can start to accept Siegfried and Giselle Quests. These two girls are further northeast from where you started. The items Giselle want are dropped from the monsters Siegfried wants you to hunt. The Siegfried quest gives you a gauge on what monsters to fight. And they give experience and plenty of items too.
Well then, where were we? Alright, you have pummeled a couple of monsters already, been leveling up in the Beginner's Hunting Ground, pumping 5 stats to agi and vit alternating to level 10, but once you reach level 10 you find yourself teleported back to the same place you were born(not irl, just Hanyang) and alot weaker. They just reset your stat points. That's right, 50 points to let you choose your DESTINY... or at least your stat distribution.
Now, note that below level 10 is the only time you can use the Deduct Lv by 1 thingy in the Skill info. If you miss this now, you can't change it. FOREVER! (Unless you want to pay real money for a stat reset ticket, then by all means do so) If you used the sword tech book, and going onto other weapons like the spear or others, you can deduct it now.
Alright, you can deduct that skill point at level 10, and level 10 only.
Goto bottom bar, Skills, and then find the skill and click 'Deduct Lv by 1' Click 'Yes', and the skill will be unlearnt; you will have a free tech point again.
Have you decided on what weapon to spe******e in?
You can choose between Sword, Spear, Axe, Gun, Bow, Cane.
I don't recommend Cane because it is mana intensive and hard to sustain the leveling for starters. Swords are fastest but they are a little weak; Spears on average speed and damage, are a good choice.
Overall I would recommend a Spear, Axe, Bow or Gun, in that order(choose one at first, not all at once!)
Have you decided on what craft to spe******e in? The game now allows you to learn any production technique without using up skill points, so it's technically possible to learn every single production that's available. Luck and Dex aren't increased by stats at the moment so we'll leave it as that.
You learn skills and techniques by reading books, either by hunting/opening Book Boxes(right click, wait awhile, gives you random books) or buying from market or hunting them.
When you learn weapon techniques you will consume skill points.
These skill points are gained when you gain levels.
Finally, Stat Distribution. This is all copied from my textfile so it's quite short(in a sense)
For Archer and Gunner, Agi to the requirement of your Weapon, followed by Vit
(Self-Recommended Stat Distribution for ranged characters at level 10 v1.0)
35 Agi
25 Vit
For Melee Characters like Spear, Sword, Ax, The Req. of Weapon that's Str, followed by Agi and Vit.
(Self-Recommended Stat Distribution for melee characters at level 10 v1.0)
35 Str
10 Agi
20 Vit
Cane users are easy, Wis, Agi and a small amount in Vit. There's two parts though. Some Cane Users attempt to train solely with Wis and Vit alone, but it's not recommended now, because Cane Users still need Agi to hit.
(Self-Recommended Stat Distribution for Cane characters at level 10 v2.0)
35 Wis
10 Agi
20 Vit (You can actually go lower than this for more damage, if you solely depend on magic instead of agi later.)
After all that, I shouldn't really spoil the fun for you. Magical Monsters for a pet, special magic at higher weapon levels(eg. Dragon Raise, Magic Sword, Time Breaker), a horse to ride at level 20, and other funky horses and special items await you in the game. So many stuff to find out, so you might as well start now =)
Edit : Stat Distribution has changed recently. From November 2008 onwards, the different stats can be found here http://luminary.ndoorsgames.com/cent...ew.asp?tid=885
Generally it means you now have 6 stats : Str Agi Dex Wis Vit Int and a last one that is Luck. All stats except luck can be raised by stat points.
Strength : Str increases physical attack power(depends on weapon type, Str is more beneficial for Axe, but Axes attack speed is slower than Swords, so it balances out.), inventory weight(the amount you can carry) Strength is also a requirement for Swords, Spears and Axes.
Agility : Agi raises Physical Evasion ate and Magic Evasion Rate. Agi is a requirement for Guns and Bows.
Dexterity : Dex raises Physical Accuracy (or Hit Rate) and Defense Power. Defense Rate(%) becomes more significant when you're battling monsters of much higher/lower levels. It's a rather deep theory that I shall not be explaining here. Physical Accuracy caps at 100%.
Intelligence : Int raises Magic Power(the damage) and and your Magic Points(MP) pool. One Int increases 4 MP.
Wisdom : Wis raises Magic Accuracy and Magic Defense Power. Wisdom is a requirement for Canes.
Vitality : Vit raises Hit Points. 1 Vit adds 8 HP. Near the end-game(80s onwards) you might want to have at least 1000 hp so you can consider putting some in the start.
Luck : Increases chance of getting a Master Grade or Perfect Grade item from manufacturing. MG/PG equipment are shiny (!) and sparkle when you equip them. Luck has no effect on making junk items.
Luck is raised from clothes, accessories, mostly from the item mall(real money).
Good Luck! The next part covers the advanced sections of the game.
Edit : There are level up rewards from when you start until you're level 100. They're all here : http://luminary.ndoorsgames.com/cent...sts=31&start=1
4. 'What is Reputation?'
Its a arbitrary value in game that allows you to wear certain clothes and hats at certain reputation levels. Currently rewards in the new server is unknown, but as mentees level under you until level 50 you can gain elemental stones in which you can use to enchant your weapons(not covered in this guide)
Reputation Levels are gained when you reach a certain amount of reputation points.
5. 'What is a Mentor?'
Apparently most people feel that mentors should teach alot and give alot of money at the same time. I'd like to abolish this theory in a sense that I rather pay alot of money to offset the time required to stare at the screen of 7-8 whisper windows (which I've done frequently in the past) And thus this is going out to anyone who hasn't started or has already started playing Goonzu Online but are poor and need some extra money. I don't trust in ideally having best of both worlds(money and information), neither do I feel that every mentee should add me at level one. Thus if you are from a range of one to ten, you can use alt T> highlight my name and click on 'Mentor Settings' and you're done. [/COLOR]
6. Quick Links
Luminiscence is mostly found at Global Goonzu Online, draws alot in his past-time, and he has alot of past-time. He stops by the main goozu site at Global Goonzu for updates and patches, mostly have to do them manually.
7. Credits
Various people who I have learnt from! And those that I'm still learning from because I'm getting used to the new system -.-
As for problems, to this guide, feel free to drop me messages and I'll edit.
Steal any information from this thread and I will pour acid in your eyes. You know who you are.
Secret No. 8. Luminiscence Can You Be My Mentor?
No.I don't frequent this game as much as the rest of my in-game friends, but if you do see my name in the list feel free to.
Secret No. 9. Luminiscence Can You Be My Recommender?
If you see this, go ahead, add me as your recommender. That's Luminiscence with the mispelling at the back. I do get benefits from you leveling beyond 20 so if you feel this thread has been useful to you this is probably one way of showing appreciation. Thanks!
Big Notice : Don't get scammed into giving your password to your account for gcoins, money for really expensive items, impossible trades, adding mentors for expensive items. If it's too good to be true, it probably is. At most, trade with those that you trust. This is just a game. There are many ways people can play it. If after reading this you still get scammed, you deserve it. Have fun!Originally Posted by Nekojin

Second Note: If you came over here to check why your IE keeps sending you to the japanese version of this game's site, then stop playing JMapleStory.(It's too cute to be a fighting game anyhow) The regional settings in your computer(Japanese) makes them believe you're in the Oriental land of Japan, and you should change your regional settings back to something non-Korean/non-Japanese so that going to global.goonzu.com will bring you to the official english site. This isn't a japanese game. It's definitely English.

I wish I had more abs than I do. If I worked out I could probably get them nice and defined.
eh I find buff to be a turn off
Back from Victoria. It was nice.
Wait there were drawstrings?
Dear jesus lawd.
Speaking of drawstrings does anyone know how to fix uneven ones? The ones on this hoodie I'm wearing like 2 and 10 inches long respectively.
Pull them both all the way and then lengthen the side that is short.
oh hey i found this thread, didn't know it got pushed up here. i missed lurking it o-o
now i have something to read again!
Lucky boy.
Especially when you got this jungle there.
And facial hair can look really cool.
Yea? You think I like it when hair grows on my legs, it grows in small, tiny amounts but still.
Plus facial hair is a huge turn-off for me. Thankfully almost all women I meet don't have it or at least it isn't painstakingly noticeable.
Some of us are cursed with a ridiculous amount of body hair that no amount of shaving will ever fix. So some of us just have to learn to live with it. Fortunately, there are people willing to tolerate it. On a side note, shaving your nether regions makes it really itchy
I'm hairy as fuck, my chest looks like a carpet. I hate it. My backs are almost the same too, fucking hell. Still, my God damn mustache won't grow aaaa I got this horrendous side-bottom only beard and it looks atrocious.
Today has been a fucking awesome day:
Got a lot of biking and exercise in
Did a 2 hour driving lesson (I'm apparently a natural driver)
and hanging out with my love in Hampshire! Watch me die a week before that because nothing this good stays :P
I need to get laid.
im not gay but hawt lesbians post pics for my research pls thnx
(User was banned for this post ("Another shitpost" - Craptasket))
If it's to be funny, you failed pathetically.
If it's in the hope of actually getting pics of FP's 4/5 lesbians then good luck getting their kinky pictures.
Go try be funny elsewhere and use google for finding dickspanking material.

|This thread is OLD as DIRT so I will answer for the sake of someone looking for more answers on the net. If you are going to be using a gen 1 ( 010 ) block you should "O" ring the thing but some MLS gaskets will work for the heads. get the block "decked" to zero after you get your rotating assy.heads are that big of a deal. get some world sportsman 2's, A blow thru is the most expensive part as I spend 1400 on my CSU blow thru carb. I built the same thing you are trying to build and made 850 Hp on a gen 1 block. I would if I were you is to get a ebay kit for entery level. for 14oo you get everything you need minus a carb and piping for the intercooler which you get one of them too. read the book Maximum Boost by Corkey Bell to get an idea on turbos then got to turbomustangs.com for the fill in info. my motor I built goes as follows.30 over 010 sbc, world sportsman 2 heass 64cc. forged internals SRP boost pistons 8.5:! compression, 850 csu blow thru carb.torker 2 intake running pump gas 93 octaine. GET A MANUAL BOOST CONTROLLER to adjust it as needed. the ebay kit comes with one of them too good luck

|Speed-Pro makes a nice nitrous/boost flat top piston, there not that bad on price either... And I'd look into GT35r ballbearing turbos, I have one on my Talon and thinking about boosting my Impala.. Sounds like it should be a cool build.. Good luck with it
|Depending on your build skills you can build your own kit for less money. However, picking the right components and making it work together takes time and research...ALOT of it. I have done a couple of these one off's and they are tons of work. I would suggest getting a kit if you have deep pockets, dont have alot of time, alot of patience, and good fabrication skills. I can help with some build specs, but in the end you will have to do your own research to have any level of success tuning it and keeping it together.
banks kit for less HP goal??
i am looking to do a sbc twin turbo kit... im not looking for crazy numbers i just want something "different" under the hood...my z28 is my daily driver so i want something that is going to last... manifold design i could care less about... i just want 500-700 RELIABLE HP...
here is my set up so far
dart shp block (383 ci)
speed o motive balanced & forged rotating assembly
AFR race heads (fully machined) 72 cc chamber 8.5-1 comp ratio
1.6 rockerarms
no intake or carb but im thinking 2000-5500 rpm range so edelbrock rpm intake
750 blow thru carb (didnt buy it but ik i need one)
undecided on cam
gear driven timing set
i dont want to build something some one has done over and over again IE a blower sticking out of the hood
basically i just want a no complication bolt on twin turbo kit
the banks kit and wrenchrat kit are about the same price and seem to be quality kits
my question is would they be good kits for my goal or should i make my own kit????
you must drop the compression if running a carb on this setup. Get some gigantic injectors and build it well and it should be okay on 9:1. Intercooler, water/meth inj, timing, and tuning tuning tuning. The carb I don't think will get you there without a few surprises.
... my question is why aren't you just buying an lsx so you don't have any doubts or headaches or waste 10,000$. Seems like you have the money to me.
twin turbo
if your lokking into twin turbos www.wrenchrat.com makes good set up's for blow through carb set up's. i personally love the header design! If your looking for a cam look into comp at the nos and turbo grinds. most lower ends won't hold that type of power, but scat makes some good forged cranks. me personally i have my dad getting mine made from some one in wisconson, its the same one that is in his sprint boat. rods go with h-beam but not EAGLE! I used them when i turbo'd my accord and bent one and a week later one blew a nice hole in the block. so manley was a better choice. Dart or APR would be a good way to go. compression ratio between 7.5 or 8.5 would be better then the 9.5 remember this isn't a honda. i would look into a dry sump setup with the turbo's as well. t4 is kind of small i would look into garrett gt42r-gt60.

|I know this thread is old, but for the power you want go to nelsonracingengines.com.
Yea, I saw Banks on horsepower TV and wasnt a fan of his setups, just didn't like the way he was doing things.
Anyways, twin turbos may not be the route to go with this car. It's my friend I'm asking for, and he's going to be putting a C4 style rear chassis and what not in there, so it will be able to hold up to alot of power, but maybe not what twin turbos will give, the initial plan was a wild nitrous motor, and then we started talking turbos and how much potential they have, because I used to have a talon and those things can make some insane power with a turbo for a 4cyl.
Looks like nitrous might be the way to go, his heads would be perfect for a nitrous motor, just need a new cam and bottom end and it would be set for spray.
Thanks guys
Actually the kit says 5-800HP from what I saw on the link. The complete engine says that it will handle 1100HP or something like that, but I just dont see it making that much. I have never seen or heard of a banks engine making anything even close to 1000HP, but then again, I have never heard of anyone buying one either so who knows. I am just not a big banks fan. I think that they are severely overpriced for the power output.
I totally agree on the stock block for that much power. Hell, I figure mine is a ticking time bomb at 700HP potential(if I ever get it setup right). I also think that some big Dart heads are a good choice as well. That is why I bought mine. They flow enough for 550-600HP NA so under boost the sky is the limit.
That is a thread over at Thirdgen you might find interesting. You might be able to contact the author and ask him for specific details and whatnot on his build.
|Rick WI
Let's look at a couple of things that might make this somewhat impractical.
First of all the drivetrain. Even with 500 HP to the wheels in a Vette your going to tear up the rear and half shafts. 1000HP to the wheels, which puts you in the 8 flat 1/4 area at over 160 by the way, will destroy all things connected from the frame to the ground.
Second, just setting a body on the frame of a Vette will flex it considerably, having done and doing restos on these. A 12 point would be manditory for track purposes and manditory just to keep the car from twisting and breaking in two.
Third, I don't think 1000 HP to the wheels in the same breath as ZZ block nor Fast Burn heads. I think Dart block and heads that will flow 330+ on the intake and 250-260+ on the exhaust. With very thick deck and o ringed.
With a project like this you'll be crappin $1000 bills. I'd suggest setting aside around 30 to 35 of them to build the car correctly.
Not that I disagree with you but the company website disagrees. They state "in excess of 1000HP" concerning the 366" engine they sell. They even have a graph showing over 1100hp. It is worth noting that that state 100 octane fuel and an intercooler was needed to make that much power. With their reputation at stake I don't think they'd make false claims and place false ads.
With that said, I agree that it's easier with larger turbos, more boost, less compression and a big intercooler. However, I don't care how easy a turbo is on the rotating assembly, a stock 1st generation block will not handle that much pressure long enough to enjoy it. I doubt it'd last long enough to tune it for that much power.
We're talking about rear wheel horsepower right?
1200-1400hp at the flywheel would get you over 1000 at the wheels. It's a very different ball game when it's in the car. Yes, I agree the Banks kit won't touch that.

"Mirror, Mirror on the wall...who's the thinnest one of all?" According to the National Eating Disorders Association, the average American woman is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. The average American model is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 117 pounds. All too often, society associates being "thin", with "hard-working, beautiful, strong and self-disciplined." On the other hand, being "fat" is associated with being "lazy, ugly, weak and lacking will-power." Because of these harsh critiques, rarely are women completely satisfied with their image. As a result, they often feel great anxiety and pressure to achieve and/or maintain an imaginary appearance.
Eating disorders are serious medical problems. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are all types of eating disorders. Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but can occur during childhood or later in adulthood. Females are more likely than males to develop an eating disorder.
Eating disorders are more than just a problem with food. Food is used to feel in control of other feelings that may seem overwhelming. For example, starving is a way for people with anorexia to feel more in control of their lives and to ease tension, anger, and anxiety. Purging and other behaviors to prevent weight gain are ways for people with bulimia to feel more in control of their lives and to ease stress and anxiety.
Although there is no single known cause of eating disorders, several things may contribute to the development of these disorders:
Too much of a good thing can be very bad for you. Just like eating disorders, societal pressures to be thin can also push women to exercise too much. Over-exercise is when someone engages in strenuous physical activity to the point that is unsafe and unhealthy. In fact, some studies indicate that young women who are compelled to exercise at excessive levels are at risk for developing eating disorders.
Eating disorders and over-exercising go hand-in-hand — they both can be a result of an unhealthy obsession with your body. The most dangerous aspect of over-exercising is the ease with which it can go unrecognized. The condition can be easily hidden by an emphasis on fitness or a desire to be healthy. Like bulimia and anorexia, in which persons deny themselves adequate nutrition by restrictive eating behaviors, over-exercising is a controlled behavior that denies the body the energy and nutrition needed to maintain a healthy weight.
According to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, a host of physical consequences can result from over-exercising — pulled muscles, stress fractures, knee trauma, shin splints, strained hamstrings, and ripped tendons.
Remember, fitness should be done within limits and integrated into your lifestyle, done in moderation like everything else in life. If exercising is getting in the way of your daily activities or relationships, you may need to slow down.

In a coordinated, trans-continental series of presentations at Computex in Taipei and All Things D:9 in Palos Verdes, California, Microsoft revealed key details about the next version of its Windows operating system, code-named "Windows 8." Windows 8 is a "reimagining" of Windows from top to bottom: new chipsets, new hardware, a new user interface, and a new application model. Microsoft has not yet announced a release date (or year) for Windows 8, but intends for Windows 8 to power everything from tablets to clamshells to desktops and larger surfaces.

For centuries now, native Kansans have endured the unflattering snubs about their home state: flat, boring, nothing to see or do. No, there are no mountains in Kansas, but wind and water have shaped their own peaks. Nor is there a crashing coastal surf, but you'll find shimmering waves of wheat, majestic swells of prairie, even remnants of an ancient sea. But to see the real beauty, you must venture beyond the margins of the yellow stripes and orange cones of interstate 70. So join us on a journey that crosses 424 miles of the Sunflower state.
Narrated by Kansas native Melissa Etheridge. Musical score by local musicians. And seen through the crystal clear eyes of high definition. KC to Kanorado casts an uncommon view down a much-maligned stretch of highway—and encourages those, who next make the trek, to slow down and see the state anew.

Lebanon and the War in Syria
The link below is to an article reporting on persecution news from Lebanon.
For more visit:
As the international community focuses its attention on Syria and how to respond to the growing likelihood that Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has used chemical weapons on a civilian population, Israel's attention is focused as much on Lebanon as on Syria.
Lebanese security forces arrested a suspect over the weekend in a double bombing in the predominantly Sunni city of Tripoli on Friday that killed at least 47 people, and wounded some 500, including dozens who were said to be in critical condition. The Lebanese National News Agency said the suspect, Sheikh Ahmad al-Ghareeb, has ties to a Sunni organization that has close ties with Lebanon's Shi'ite Hezbullah group.
The attacks raised sectarian tensions in Lebanon, which had already been tense. Hundreds of well-trained Hezbullah troops have been fighting in Syria on behalf of Assad, supporting his Alawite regime. The Alawites are an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam.
Israeli officials are…

Love The Body You've Got (Take It From A Fat Girl)
I recall a time in elementary school when a friend tried to defend me from a few bullies by saying that I "wasn't fat, just big-boned." A few years later, I had a teacher who — probably in an attempt to keep my ego intact — wouldn't let kids say "fat" in class, only "fluffy."
To set the record straight, I do not have abnormally large bones. And I am not, nor have I ever been, a rabbit. But whether it's these sugar-coated terms or the painfully unoriginal "ugly fat girl," I've never quite been able to shake my overweight status for long.
Despite a few traumatizing events (i.e. …

Will I Lose Weight on Paleo?
I've only had one weight-loss client come see me who actually said, "My main motivation for losing weight is that I want to look hot." Finally, someone just came out and said it! We all want to look hot, whether we admit it or not, and we all look our best when we're at our optimal weight. The Paleo way of living has become popular partly because it helps people get there, whether that means gaining muscle, losing fat or both. Of course, in the … Continue reading

The O'Jays
The O'Jays were formed in 1958 in Canton, OH, where all five original members -- Eddie Levert, Walter Williams, William Powell, Bill Isles, and Bobby Massey -- attended McKinley High School. Inspired to start a singing group after seeing a performance by Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, they first called themselves the Triumphs, then switched to the Mascots in 1960. The Mascots made their recording debut in 1961 with the single "Miracles," issued on the Cincinnati-based King label. It earned them a fan in the influential Cleveland DJ Eddie O'Jay, who gave them some airplay and career advice; in turn, the group renamed itself the O'Jays in 1963, after having recorded for Apollo Records with producer Don Davis. Under their new name, the O'Jays signed with Imperial and hooked up with producer H.B. Barnum, who would helm their first charting single, 1963's "Lonely Drifter," plus several more singles that followed. Isles left the group in 1965 and was not replaced, leaving them a quartet; late in the year, they released their first-ever album, Comin' Through. In 1967, the O'Jays left Imperial for Bell, where they landed their first Top Ten single on the R&B charts, "I'll Be Sweeter Tomorrow (Than I Was Today)." Discouraged by the difficulty of following that success, the group members considered throwing in the towel until they met Gamble & Huff -- then working as a production team for the Neptune label -- in 1968. Gamble & Huff took an interest in the group, and they recorded several successful R&B singles together; however, Neptune folded in 1971, leaving the O'Jays in limbo, and Massey decided to exit the group.
Fortunately, Gamble & Huff formed their own label, Philadelphia International, and made the O'Jays -- now a trio -- one of their first signings. The O'Jays' label debut, Back Stabbers, released in 1972, became a classic landmark of Philly soul, and finally made them stars; the paranoid title track hit the pop Top Five, and the utopian "Love Train" went all the way to number one (both singles topped the R&B charts). It was the beginning of a remarkable run that produced nearly 30 chart singles over the course of the '70s, plus a series of best-selling albums and a bevy of number one hits on the R&B charts. The O'Jays followed up their breakthrough with another classic LP, Ship Ahoy, in 1973; it featured the number one R&B hit "For the Love of Money," a funky protest number that still ranks as one of their signature songs, as well as the ten-minute title track, an ambitious suite recounting the ocean journeys of African slaves. Released in 1975, Survival was another hit, spinning off the hits "Let Me Make Love to You" and the R&B number one "Give the People What They Want." Family Reunion found the O'Jays making concessions to the emerging disco sound, which got them their third Top Five pop hit in "I Love Music, Pt. 1." Unfortunately, William Powell was diagnosed with cancer that year, and although he continued to record with the group for a time (appearing on 1976's Message in Our Music), he was forced to retire from live performing, and passed away on May 26, 1977.
Powell's replacement was Sammy Strain, a 12-year veteran of Little Anthony & the Imperials. The O'Jays regrouped on the albums Travelin' at the Speed of Thought (1977) and So Full of Love (1978), the latter of which produced their final Top Five pop hit, "Use ta Be My Girl." Released in 1979, Identify Yourself began to show signs of wear and tear in the group's successful formula, and often consciously attempted to follow disco trends. Although it sold respectably, it marked the beginning of a decline in the O'Jays' commercial fortunes. Undaunted by the increasingly diminished returns of their early-'80s LPs, the group kept plugging away, and never completely disappeared from the R&B charts. They finally left Philadelphia International and signed with EMI for 1987's Let Me Touch You, which melded their classic sound with up-to-date urban-R&B production. Powered by the Gamble & Huff-penned R&B number one "Lovin' You," as well as the increased visibility of Eddie Levert's sons Gerald and Sean (two-thirds of the hit urban group LeVert), the album gave their career a much-needed shot in the arm.
Released in 1989, Serious supplied another big R&B hit in "Have You Had Your Love Today?"; with Nathaniel Best replacing Sammy Strain, 1991's Emotionally Yours and 1993's Heartbreaker also placed very well on the R&B charts. The O'Jays' comeback didn't really extend to the pop side, and didn't attract the sort of critical praise earned by their '70s classics; as the new jack swing craze subsided, so did the O'Jays' recording activity, though they remained consistent draws on the live circuit. In 1997, now with Eric Grant joining Levert and Williams, they returned with Love You to Tears. A recording layoff followed, during which the O'Jays signed with MCA; they debuted for the label with For the Love..., which was released in 2001. Imagination followed in 2004 on Sanctuary Records, while a new holiday album, Christmas with the O'Jays, appeared in 2010 from Saguaro Road Records. ~ Steve Huey

RTA Rapid service restored
(Cleveland) A burst pipe caused flooding at Tower City Center on Thursday night which closed down the Blue and Green lines of the RTA train service for about five hours.
RTA spokesperson Mary Schaffer says at one point several feet of water was in the RTA waiting area. She says the flooding was cleared from the area after about five hours, and service is back to normal.
The flood was caused when a frozen sprinkler line burst at around 6:45 Thursday night. During the shutdown, shuttle busses took riders between East 55th Street and Tower City.

Wittenberg Science Departments Host Girl Scout Science Night
Springfield, Ohio – For the 11th consecutive year, Wittenberg's science departments present hands-on programming for 80 to 100 fourth to 12th grade girls as they host the annual Girl Scout Science Night from 6-9 p.m. Friday, April 8, in the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center, 350 Bill Edwards Drive.
Registration begins at 5:30 p.m., and the cost is $6 per registered Girl Scout and $18 for unregistered girls (includes $12 membership fee). Financial assistance is available. The admission price includes a Girl Scout patch and a light dinner.
Groups of 20-25 girls will rotate through educational sessions organized and presented by faculty members in the biology, chemistry, physics and math/computer science departments. Wittenberg students will assist faculty members in presenting the sessions.
Students assisting the chemistry sessions include Alaina Engdahl, class of 2013 from Columbus, Ohio; Brianna Watson, class of 2013 from Dayton, Ohio; Kacia Nolan, class of 2012 from Speedway, Ind.; and Kevin To, class of 2013 from Springfield, Ohio. Students assisting the physics department sessions include Nate Monday, class of 2011 from Marblehead, Ohio; Mandy Fagan, class of 2014 from Chelmsford, Mass.; Savannah Kiser, class of 2012 from Warren, Pa.; and Susannah Engdahl, class of 2013 from Columbus, Ohio.
The program began in 2001 through the efforts of Mike Crotty, Wittenberg class of 2002. The father of three girls, Crotty approached members of Wittenberg's science departments after seeing his daughters' enthusiasm for stargazing during an open house at Weaver Observatory. The university and its science faculty agreed to the concept, and the program quickly became a reality.
With the program's goal of interesting girls in careers in the sciences, the sessions are planned with a bit of the wow factor. Contact Carrie Hurley, program services specialist, Girl Scouts of Western Ohio, at 937-279-6542 or email email@example.com.

REPORT: Jays Will Not Stop Farrell If He Chooses To Join Sox
According to the USA Today, the Toronto Blue Jays will not stop manager John Farrell from joining the Boston Red Sox should he decide to leave.
Bob Nightengale, the USA Today reporter who first broke the story, was on a Toronto sports radio program and said that the Jays and Sox have most likely already had preliminary talks.
"John Farrell is very good friends with (Red Sox GM) Ben Cherington and those people so you can't say there hasn't been phone calls," Nightengale said. "I'm sure Lucchino and Paul Beeston have already talked. Formally just a technicality."
"Cherington wants him badly. If Blue Jays really wanted him and said no, they would've given him an extension or said he's going to be our guy for the next five years … we've never seen those comments. They're going to let him go."
Nightengale also said that Farrell will most likely end up in Boston and that the Jays wouldn't receive much in terms of compensation. He cites the Marlins and White Sox trade for Ozzie Guillen.
"You're not going to get much compensation. Remember when Theo Epstein went to the Cubs, there was very little compensation. When Ozzie Guillen went to the Marlins, very little. Only talking about a fringe-type prospect. Nothing big."
Farrell was the Red Sox pitching coach from 2005-2009 and was popular with Red Sox players in the clubhouse. He also was integral in bolstering the Red Sox pitching staff, something the Sox desperately need for the 2013 season.

Promoting Cycling and Walking for Sustainable and Healthy Cities: Lessons from Europe and North America
Promoting Cycling and Walking for Sustainable and Healthy Cities: Lessons from Europe and North America
John Pucher, DCRP Visiting Professor; Professor, Urban Planning and Policy Development Program and Research Associate, Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, Rutgers University
His presentation covered topics such as:
· What policies and programs are needed to make cycling and walking safe and convenient?
· How do Dutch, Danish and German cities get virtually everyone (incl. women, children and seniors) on bikes for a wide range of trip purposes?
· What can communities in North Carolina do to increase walking and cycling while also making them safer and more convenient for everyday travel to work, school, and shopping?
John Pucher's research focuses on walking and bicycling, with international comparative analysis that includes Australia, Canada, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and several other European countries. The main objective of his research is to determine what American, Canadian, and Australian cities could learn from each other and from European cities to improve the safety, convenience, and feasibility of these non-motorized modes.

Is Quinoa Paleo?
Here's the deal with quinoa (pronounced "keen-wah"), since so many people seem to think it's totally different than a grain. If it looks like a grain and acts like a grain (not to mention tastes like a grain), it's a grain. And quinoa contains some anti-nutrients that other grains contain, such as phytic acid, lectins, and saponins. Read those links for more info on all of those anti-nutrients, but basically phytic acid binds to minerals in your gut and carries … Continue reading

text: New statewide radio ad campaign urges greater investment in our communities A new advertising campaign launched on March 25 will boost the growing momentum behind efforts to increase investments to repair our state's roads and bridges, strengthen public schools, protect healthcare, expand early education, improve public transportation, and make public colleges more affordable for middle class families. The radio ad airing across the state will focus on the need to continue investing in our communities. The ad script says: "Massachusetts has recovered from the recession faster and stronger than the rest of the country because our elected leaders have made the investments needed to protect our communities, add jobs and grow our economy. Now the Legislature is deciding whether to make major new investments to repair our state's roads and bridges, improve public transportation, protect health care, and make public colleges more affordable for middle-class families. "Just days ago, over 50 leading Massachusetts economists wrote an open letter stating that investments in transportation and education are needed to keep our state competitive and help our communities thrive. Many citizens agree that investments in both areas are needed to keep our economy growing and create new jobs. "The time is right. And a fair plan is on the table – one that calls for raising the income tax while holding down increases for low- and middle-income families and seniors. To learn more and to get involved, visit ourcommunities.org . Paid for by the Campaign for Our Communities." Listen to the ad here. The Campaign for Our Communities also released the following updates on the growing business and grassroots support for increased public investment: • Over 95 business leaders have now signed on to letters in support of increased revenues and investments in our communities.• Over 1,000 supporters have gone to the State House to ask their elected officials to support increased revenues and public investment.• Over 50 Massachusetts economists released a letter to the public saying that investments in transportation and education are needed to keep our state competitive in the new economy.• Last week, another poll was released showing growing support for progressive revenues. An overwhelming 76 percent of Massachusetts voters approve of the Governor's call for "major new investments" in transportation and education. Furthermore, 54 percent approve of increasing the income tax in order to make those investments.• As of today, we have delivered over 13,000 postcards and generated thousands of phone calls and emails to state legislators asking them to support progressive revenue reforms that would raise an additional $2 billion. The Campaign for Our Communities (@OurCommunities) was formed to improve the quality of life for Massachusetts families and to help build a stronger future for our state. The coalition, which includes more than 120 organizations (http://ourcommunities.org/endorsers-list.html), supports smart investments in people and communities. To fund these investments, it advocates for tax reforms that will raise new revenues while holding down increases for low- and middle-income families and seniors.

It wont cause the TCC to lockup if it's removed/missing. It will cause a much firmer & quicker TCC engagement.
Are you sure the TC you removed was a Lockup model?
The checkball capsule is normally removed when switching to a Non-Lockup TC.
If you install a Lockup TC into a Trans that's been converted to use a Non-lockup TC it will Lockup any time the engine is running.
200-4r Problem
hey guys so basically i went to switch out my torque convertor on my 200r4 for a higher one,, i got the new one in went to drive truck and its acting like the t convertor is seized , now when i pulled it out to replace cuz i thought that was the issue i noticed the ball(check ball??) in the input shaft that goes into the convertor was missing .
question being if that ball was missing would the lock up clutch activate and make the truck stall when it goes into gear or just get a new torque convertor
im not sure if the ball was missing with the first convertor or if it came out while putting this new one back in.
does anyone know what might be going on ?
Thanks Jordan

text: Man does Stuckey get burned on this board. Ive been upset with his play at times but really? he was tryin to make something happen, I dont blame him for attackin the rim and tryin to draw a foul, Heck I wish more of our team would do that once in a while. Okla just has some shot blockers and he found 2 of them on that particular try. At least he is aggressive and lookin to score, far too often we dont have anyone apparently tryin to score. We have a group of people that ressemble a basketball team that stand around on the perimeter and pass the ball to one another until there is 5 seconds or less on the clock, at which time they usually call for a high pick and roll with Ben Wallace and the pg gives him the ball 20 feet from the hoop with 2-3 seconds on the clock. So forgive me if I am not really pissed at Stuck for driving to the hole with time on the clock and lookin to finish or get a call. We have no movement on offense and our perimeter guys can be guarded with a pylon . If they just stand around dribbling and passing on the periemeter what exactly do you expect our pgs to do?what magical play is gonna get them open? and when our guards drive to the hole the perimeter players need to get to a open spot and expect the ball, or get in the lane and expect the rebound....or get back and expect the opponent to break on them. Unfortunately our perimeter guys dont do any of those things and we either get a guard forcing a shot in the paint, a guard driving and forcing a pass into coverage due to our lack of movement, or ball stripped / stolen/ blocked/ shot missed and the opponent is running it down our out of position throat.

In the past I've been the owner of what I think were two MB knock-offs and an MLC V1. However, I was fortunate to be selected to participate in a jp trade with MLC and now have the honor of being the new owner of an MLC V2.
All I can say is WOW!!! The improvements made to the V2 tremendously enhance its level of accuracy. The fabrication quality is top-notch, and the detailing is amazing!
It weighs in at just 5.2 lbs (according to my wife's weight watcher scale), and the fine-bore missile base is massive enough to satisfy any "small missile" complexes out there.:lol
Completely assembled it measures in at 23" wide by 31" tall.
I like it. :thumbsup :thumbsup
I've also included a pic of an "almost finished" V2 that was painted very recently by a good friend of mine as a commission. It looks good enough to be finished to me. He's got some mad painting skills IMO.:eek

Northern Forts
In the early days of the American republic (and, perhaps, even in aboriginal days), the high bluffs in northern part of Central Park were the location of significant military activity and construction. As one of the highest points in Manhattan, the tops of these hills made it possible to see and attack invaders coming down the Hudson River, from north of the city and from Long Island.
Following a British attack on Stonington, Connecticut on August 9, 1814, during the War of 1812, General Joseph Swift organized volunteers to quickly build a chain of fortifications across Manhattan for the defense of Harlem Heights. Around 1,600 NY State militia spent the fall of 1814 in these fortifications, but the British never attacked New York City and the war officially ended in December of 1814. None of these fortifications ever saw combat and they were decommissioned and/or repurposed long before construction of Central Park began in 1858.
McGowan's Pass
McGown's Pass was named for a tavern run by Scotswoman Catherine McGown and her children from 1759 into the 1840s. The tavern was located on what later became the Mount St. Vincent's Academy. The area to the north of these bluffs was a marshy area surrounding Harlem Creek which extended west to the Harlem River. Kingsbridge Road, the major artery linking New York City with mainland cities to the north, crossed Harlem Creek over King's Bridge and passed up through this area between two rocky outcrops before proceeding south into the city, which was then limited to lower Manhattan. Early nineteenth century illustrations (which can be viewed at the NYPL's online digital gallery) show a gate surrounded by forts atop the outcrops.
Control of the pass conferred military advantage. During the war for independence, British troops sealed off lower Manhattan by controlling the pass and camping on what are now the Great Hill, North Meadow and East Meadow. During the War of 1812 Fort Clinton and Nutter's Battery were built to guard the pass. (reference)
From the historical maps and what little information is available on the web, it is a bit difficult to determine exactly where McGowan's Pass was. The topography has been modified quite a bit since the 19th century. Harlem Creek has been filled in on both sides of what is now Harlem Mere and the eastern side of the marsh is now East Harlem around 106th Street. Kingsbridge Road is long gone and the eastern Park Drive now curves around the bluffs in switchbacks that are fun to bike or skate down but a bit of a effort to get back up again. The area that had been cleared in military days to give full view of the surrounding countryside is now covered in lovely tall trees.
However, I will assume that what was the pass is now approximated by the modestly inclined path that rises from the midpoint of Harlem Mere, between Nutter's Battery and Fort Clinton and joins with the existing Park Drive to the south of where the park drive begins its switchback around Fort Fish. This is consistent with notes on the Central Park Conservancy website and a 2014 NY Times article on some archaeological work done in the area in advance of utility installation.
Some contemporary maps are a bit indeterminate about the location of the pass and label McGowan's Pass as this valley between Fort Clinton on the north and Mt. St. Vincent on the south, which would lead it around the east side of the Fort Clinton outcropping. However, the 1811 map given above lists it as clearly behind the fortifications.
Fort Clinton
Fort Clinton was named after DeWitt Clinton, Mayor of NYC during the War of 1812. Although no remnants of the fort remain, a monument was placed here in the early 20th century. That monument was extensively vandalized in the 1960s and awaited restoration at the time I visited in the summer of 2007.
Nutter's Battery
Nutter's Battery was named after the owner of a nearby farm. I'm not sure what parts of the existing stone walls have any relationship to those of the fort.
Fort Fish
Fort Fish was situated on the highest point in the area and heavily armed. It was named after the chairman of the City's Committee of Defense. It is now a secluded area just above the first switchback curve on the northern part of East Drive and it's fabled view of the surrounding area is obscured by foliage. The monument bench to park founding father Andrew Haswell Greene was relocated here when it's original location across the drive at the former St. Vincent's Academy location was converted to a composting operation in the 1980s.
The Blockhouse
Northwest corner of the park around 108th Street
The Blockhouse is the one remaining fortification of the four that were located in this area and it's speedy construction by volunteers is evidenced by the unusually rough stone work. The Blockhouse had a timber floor to support heavy canons and all four sides have two small gunports.
The upper two feet of the walls are different in composition from the lower walls and were probably added after the war when the building was used for storage. The stair and entrance are also not original. This rugged area was not considered suitable for park land and, therefore, not included in the original 1858 plan for Central Park, but was added in 1863 since the hills and swamp (now Harlem Mere) also proved unsuitable for commercial development. The remnants of the blockhouse were landscaped and treated as a picturesque ruin - a role that it continues to nobly serve. (reference)

Eagle Eye: Webcam to track eagles' movements
"The camera is up, the connection is not," said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks' Cathy Stewart of the new webcam to be used for an up-close look at the eagles nest on Main Street.
The live feed camera was installed Thursday afternoon. It was the second attempt, as a few days earlier Kiwi Pete Tree Service donated the use of his bucket truck, but the bucket didn't reach high enough at 70 feet.
On Thursday, Miles City Fire and Rescue's ladder truck was used and extended 100 feet for the project.
Fire Chief Dale Berg said using the ladder truck is perfect training for the department because several of the new people haven't been able to train on it yet, plus it's a good community service project.
Although the planning for the webcam has been going on for about seven months, it came to crunch time last week because the eagles were expected to return to the nest at the end of February.
Everything wasn't quite ready to go, but the camera needed to be put up before the eagles arrived or the project would have to wait for next year, so the birds would not be disturbed.
They got the camera in place in time "by the hair on our chinny, chin, chin," said Stewart.
Fish, Wildlife and Parks' Miles Muscha installed the camera Thursday afternoon, and someone reported seeing the eagles in the area Friday morning.
She said the webcam is expected to be operational in early March.
When it is, it will be announced in the Miles City Star.
The eagles nest
The eagle's nest was built about seven years ago.
Stewart said the nest is one of the more prolific eagles nests around.
Usually two eaglets are hatched in a nest and one reaches the fledge stage, but at this nest, on more than one occasion, three eaglets were hatched and all three reached the fledge stage, "which is extraordinary."
Because the nest is located on Main Street, by the ROCKS building, watching the eagles is popular among local residents.
Denise Harvey often walked under the nest and suggested the webcam. She and her husband, Jay, were the original contacts for the project.
The project
Stewart said since the camera was going to be using electricity and Internet connection from the after-school program ROCKS, the project is being done through that program.
Stewart started writing grants, and the Yellowstone Valley Audubon Society donated a $1,000 grant for the $1,600 camera.
Ruben Oberlander began collecting donations and raised enough for the camera and some costs associated with the installation.
Also involved in the program are:
See "Eagles," page 5
— Dean Hanvold of Technology Plus donated his labor.
— Mid-Rivers Communications upgraded ROCKS' Internet connection.
— Montana Department of Transportation closed a portion of Main Street for the installation.
— Fish, Wildlife and Parks has managed the program, donated staff time and small one-time purchases.
— The City of Miles City donated the use of a ladder truck and permission to install the camera on city property.
— Firefighters Erik Hartse and Ryan Smith donated their time on the ladder.
— Monetary donations were from Kiwanis ($100), Washington Middle School's Builders Club ($200), Holy Rosary Healthcare Foundation ($300), Dr. Jeff Williams ($200) and Jay and Denise Harvey ($80).
"It's been very much a community project, which was the purpose from the beginning," Stewart said.
Learning opportunity
Not only will the camera produce fascinating images, but it also produces a lot of educational opportunities.
One of the problems the eagles have encountered in the past is when the young fledglings fly out of the nest and begin to learn to fly, they bounce around, get tired and pant a lot. Many people thought they were abandoned and began calling the FWP. One concerned person threw a blanket over an eagle and brought it into the office.
Stewart is hoping that since so many people will be watching the webcam, it will provide an opportunity to let people know that the birds are all right.
Since the camera will be live, there are some images that might be a little difficult for some viewers.
Stewart's been asked what happens when the eagles are eating a cat or squirrel. She answers, "then we're going to talk about it."
Parents of small children might want to check the footage before inviting their kids to watch.
Stewart knows the images will be seen around the world.
In an osprey nest near Missoula, a young bird got caught up in some fishing line when its parent was feeding it a fish that still had a hook in it. A viewer in Wales called the office to let them know about the problem.
Locally, Stewart expects schools will study them in science classes, ROCKS will have lessons on them and the local FWP office will use it for education and information.
There are many benefits that we cannot predict, she said, believing that the birds will become teachers.
"I'm sure they are going to teach us a lot," Stewart said of the eagles. "It's going to be cool."
Anyone interested in making donations for the monthly Internet service and future maintenance can make a check out to R.O.C.K.S. and bring it by the local Fish, Wildlife and Parks office or mail it to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, P.O. Box 1630, Miles City, MT 59301 and put it attention to Cathy Stewart.

Unlike the disastrous Millennium Dome, (1) The London Eye is now a well-loved feature of the London skyline. Its 32 glass pods provide a thrilling overview of this vast metropolis—best at sunset as the city lights twinkle on. Look out for flags designed by British artists in Jubilee Gardens at the base of London Eye.
Wander east along the Thames to the 21-acre (8.5-hectare) Southbank Centre, "a gathering point for all the city's artistic and cultural tribes," according to artistic director Jude Kelly. Built for the 1951 Festival of Britain, the (2) Royal Festival Hall reopened in June 2007 after a two-year refurbishment. Performances range from classical concerts to contemporary dance. The fifth-floor Saison Poetry Library houses the most comprehensive collection of modern poetry in Europe.
Stroll past the skateboarders to the secondhand book market outside the National Film Theatre. "Behind the cinema is the new (3) Mediatheque, a wonderful, free resource where you can watch forgotten films from the British Film Institute's archives," says choreographer Gaby Agis. Colorful (4) Benugo Café next door does a mean Bloody Mary and brunch.
Continue east along the river, past the National Theatre and tourist traps of Gabriel's Wharf to the (5) Oxo Tower Wharf. "Most people go straight to the top-floor viewing gallery and miss the interesting design shops on the first two floors," says Leo Hollis, author of Historic London Walks.
Press on beneath Blackfriars Bridge to the (6) Tate Modern, an architectural masterstroke in a former power station. The vast sweep of Turbine Hall makes a dramatic backdrop for specially commissioned installations.
Outside the Tate Modern is another turn-of-the-century success story: Norman Foster's (7) Millennium Bridge, known as the Wobbly Bridge because of early engineering troubles. It's now perfectly safe and quite spectacular. "Crossing London bridges on foot you get a fabulous sense of freedom as you look down at all the exciting activity along the river," says Emma Hope, shoe designer.
Return to the south bank or you'll miss (8) Shakespeare's Globe, a reconstruction of the open-air playhouse designed in 1599. Plays are staged from May to October, with standing room for "groundlings."
Farther east, at St. Mary Overie Dock, is another Elizabethan reconstruction: (9) The Golden Hinde, Sir Francis Drake's 16th-century galleon, a popular venue for children's parties including sleepovers in period costume.
Turn right into Cathedral Street and peek at the stained glass windows in (10) Southwark Cathedral, where John Harvard was baptized in 1607.
"Follow your nose through the crowds to (11) Borough Market, a diet-flouting congregation of tempting smells, tastes, and sights," says Jack Lohman, director Museum of London. The food market, 250 years in its current location, is open Thursday to Saturday. If you can't face long queues for delicious street food, Jay Rayner, restaurant critic of The Observer, recommends (12) Magdalen at 152 Tooley Street for "new British cuisine with French sensibilities—venison and trotter pie or snails with bone marrow."
Turn left at Vine Street to Queen's Walk. The wonky bubble of green glass is (13) City Hall, fondly known as "the glass testicle." On selected weekends, you can tour restricted areas, including London's Living Room on the 9th floor with stunning views of Tower Bridge.
Just beyond the bridge, make a left on Horselydown Lane and a right on Shad Thames. At number 28 is the excellent (14) Design Museum on Butler's Wharf, where you can pick up unusual gifts and reward yourself with a cake from the White Café.
