Junior Billy Baron led Canisius with 21 points while senior Alshwan Hymes had 14 points and shot 4-of-7 on 3-pointers in 26 minutes off the bench. Junior Reggie Groves recorded six assists and three steals in 26 minutes. Senior Harold Washington had 13 points in 18 minutes while plagued by foul trouble, and junior Chris Manhertz had 10 points. Canisius shot 53.4 percent from the floor and went 10-of-22 from behind the arc.
"I told the guys that I was really proud of their effort, not only tonight, but all season long," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "To go from five wins last year to 20 this year and from one league win to 11, that's something special. I've never been a part of something like this before. I'm proud of the upperclassmen because they put a lot of trust in me and the coaching staff. Their contributions and leadership were key to this year. It was a heck of a run."
Senior Isaac Sosa scored five of the first eight points for the Griffs, who built an early 8-4 lead. The Griffs maintained a small lead until using a seven-point spurt to build a 25-14 advantage. Groves drained a jumper, senior Freddy Asprilla had a dunk and the second 3-pointer of the half from Hymes put the Griffs up 25-14.
The Purple Aces responded with baskets on their next three possessions and used a 12-3 run to get within 28-26, but six points from Baron in a span of 20 seconds pushed the Griffs lead to eight. Evansville drained two free throws and a step-back 3-pointer from Groves in the final seconds gave the Griffs a 37-28 halftime lead.
Evansville (21-14) opened the second half on a 14-4 to take their first lead of the game on a layup from Troy Taylor. The Griffs would regain the lead when Baron stole a pass and found Washington for a dunk to put the Griffs up 43-42. After Evansville grabbed the lead back, Hymes drained a 3-pointer from the corner and then put back a missed shot to give Canisius a four-point edge with 14:12 left. Canisius pushed its lead to 60-53 after a three-point play from Manhertz with 9:34 remaining.
Evansville got within three at 60-57, but Washington responded with a 3-pointer to push the lead back to six. After two free throws from Ryan, Groves drove the lane and dished to Manhertz for an uncontested dunk to make it 65-59. The Purple Aces scored six straight points before Baron split two free throws and then drained a deep 3-pointer to put Canisius up 69-65.
The Purple Aces then scored nine consecutive points, holding Canisius scoreless for more then three minutes. Ryan scored 16 straight points for Evansville, including back-to-back jumpers from the top of the key and a 3-pointer from the wing to give Evansville a 74-69 lead. The Griffs wouldn't go away quietly, cutting the lead to three on two separate occasions. Evansville made seven free throws in the final minute to put the game away as Baron made a 3-pointer at the buzzer for the final margin.
Ryan scored his 39 points on 11-of-22 shooting, scoring 30 points in the second half. His 3-pointer with 1:52 left in the first half allowed him to become Evansville's all-time leading scorer. Taylor had 10 points, eight assists and four steals as Evansville shot 47.5 percent for the game and 60 percent in the second half.
Game Notes: This was the first meeting between Evansville and Canisius in men's basketball… Evansville advances to the CIT Final Four where they will play at East Carolina, who defeated Loyola (Md.) Tuesday night… Canisius' plus-15 win differential this season is the largest in program history… Billy Baron finished the season with 584 points, which ranks seventh on the school's single-season scoring list and are the most for a Canisius player since Ray Hall scored 628 points in 1984-85… Baron's 584 points are the most for a Griff junior since Hall had 587 points in 1983-84… Sosa finished the season with a school-record 95 3-point field goals and he closed out his four-year playing career with 275 3-pointers (including his time at UCF)… Manhertz finished the year with 297 rebounds, which ranks seventh on the school's single-season rebound chart… Junior Jordan Heath had three blocks in the loss and finished his junior year with 53 blocked shots in 31 games, which ties him for sixth on the team's single-season blocked shots list… Hymes' 14 points allowed him to close his career with 1,047 points, good for 29th in school history… Groves matched a career-high with his six assists.

Re: hunter 460 vs. 466
I had not heard of Ocean Cruising boats, before. They look like they were semi custom, and of very high standard, as one would expect out of a builder in Maine. We need some photos, or it did not happen!

Re: hunter 460 vs. 466
Congratulations stoomy! I went to the OC 40 site and saw the great photos. She is lucky since you mentioned you built a wooden kayak...you apparently hold the skills to revitalize a wooden sail yacht. We have owned two wooden boats and love them all. One was a broads cruiser we cruised quite a lot in England and the other was an Italian 16' marine ply on frame race boat with a little cabin we sailed in Greece. I used to read Wooden Boat and did many projects to set myself up for owning and maintaining wooden boats. We got serious in 96 and bought our first real boat and moved aboard and have lived, worked and cruised aboard ever since. 16 years aboard sailing a total of about 8,000 miles in those years between Key West and Grenada. Along that road, I have learned some people--such as anyone with over 400 posts on this forum--spend a lot of time behind a keyboard and might not really know what they are talking about. True, I am critical of Benneteaus...as I am of Hunter...or anything I will go out on the sea in. But I would own a Benneteau and not just disregard the entire line of yachts they build as unworthy or unsightly. I imagine I will hear something back. But right now, I am on the south coast of Puerto Rico having sailed into Ponce and I have other things to do. I just happened across the origingal quesion about the 460 and wanted to put my qualified information out there to answer that question for anyone else who was wondering.
I am sure you enjoyed the holding tank removal. In about 98, I helped a friend pull one out of his boat. It was leaking at the weld. They were all built of aluminum back then and we had to use a recriprocating saw to cut it so we could fold it in on itself to get it out. When we cut it open there were some clear, fluid filled sacks hanging from the top that looked like they might be alive. Thankfully, they didn't hatch and we got the thing to the bin without getting too dirty.
Again, lovely boat you bought and I am sure she will serve you well. Don't forget to crack some champaigne on her.

I've only been a boat owner for a couple months. My advice, based on 5 years of shopping is this:
If you can't afford a new boat, go for a high quality used boat. I'm learning all sorts of new things I just removed a 30-year old holding tank yesterday.

Re: hunter 460 vs. 466
Hi There, we have been on our 460 12 years cruising the Caribbean. Boat has performed really well. Difference between the 460 and later 466 is some asthetics. Benneteau went and got an Italian interior designer and Hunter responded with a guy named Glen Henderson who updated the asthetics and some interior stuff. Otherwise, the rig, hull, keel and deck are the same except for some port lights and hand holds. Hunter tried to either cost cut or save weight on the rudder post and fabricated a fiberglass rudder with fiberglass post. Ours got tight as well due water and we had to replace it. Hunter gave us one on warranty but I had to pay the haul. I understand teh new rudder is about 3 grand. No problem at all since. My friends who own Bennies are generally envious of the Yankee engineering of the plumbing and electrical system. Ever been in a French toilet? Also, Benneteau has really embraced the 'minimalist' design. That means a lot less electircal panel for controlling all the gadgets you want to install. Also, the Bennies rig from Charlestown Spar had some issues with the hooks on the bottom of the boom. The mainsheet blocks were pulling them out due mid boom sheeting. Friend of mine actually cracked his Benneteau boom due this problem. Funny, the newer Bennies now have a fiberglass arch for end of boom sheeting and to get the traveler out of the cockpit. Hunters B&R rig is great once you read about it and understand it. Great performance. We do running reaches down wind with the main only out about one third in about 18 knots. With full jib we get 6.5 to 7.5 knots. We are able to point within 35 degrrees in 8 to 12knots of wind with no waves and get 4.5 to 5.5 or so. Increase the wind to 18knots, bear off to about 42 because of the energy needed to push through the waves and we still see 6 or 7. Bear off to a close beam reach with 18 to 22 and we have seen 9 knots. Otherwise, we cannot say enough good about the boat. Have sailed in 9 to 12 foot waves fetched up by current agains the wind (like you get in the Caribbean on occasion) in 30ish knots of wind and have had no problem. Bottom line is, all production manufacturers have produced great boats and some dogs. Everyone is guilty. You have to clearly define what you and your mate want out of a boat, find a model where the kinks are worked out, or can be worked out, then find an example of that model that has been maintained and treated well at the price you are happy with. Would I cross an ocean in this? I would rather 747 it honestly. But having sailed 3000 miles over 3 months from South Africa to Madigascar and back in a 47 foot Cat once upon a time...yes I would but would stay out of the higher latitudes and stick to the favorable routes at favorable times. I love my island hopping but believe me...I have known a lot of folks who have crossed oceans and when they get to the Bahamas or Caribbean are shocked how tough the conditions can be here sometimes. I have confidence in this boat and my wife loves it meaning I get to keep sailing. Best of luck.
460 v. 466
WE PURCHASED 2001 460 IN 2010. THIS WAS OUR THIRD HUNTER. THE BOAT HAS A LOT OF GREAT FEATURES. HOWEVER, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE FORWARD BULKHEAD (JUST AFT OF THE ANCHOR RODE LOCKER AFTER THE SALE). THIS WAS DUE TO FAILURE ON HUNTER'S PART TO GLASS IN THE LOCKER HIGH ENOUGH TO COMPESATE FOR WATER LEVEL IN THE LOCKER. BECAREFUL ABOUT YOUR CHOICE OF SURVEYORS. RECENTLY WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE RUDDER. THIS BOAT HAS AN EXTREMELY HIGH RESISTANCE AT THE HELM WHICH WE FOUND WAS IN THE RUDDER POST/HOUSING. tHE 460 ALSO HAVE TENDANCY TO LOSE THEIR RUDDERS (NO HELP FROM HUNTER).
|The Hardin is a true blue water voyager built in Taiwan. Look for one at the high end of the price range that has had good care/repairs or be prepared to do a lot of re-fitting yourself and end up paying the same or more.
the only reason i ask is that most couples that go cruising do need to have either person capable of single-handing the boat. there will be many times when cruising as a couple that you will effectively be singlehanding the boat.

You could probably get them closer to 100,000 and use the $50,000 left over to upgrade/replace anything that's needed. Of course if newer is what your looking for rather than build quaility...?

|I would of been for some real trouble if I would of heated up that part of the roof,the lead would of came loose. After sanding on it, it looks like their was quite a bit of leading that was put on their. So I sanded down some of the lead to get it as level as I could then added filler to bring up the middle of the low spot. Running my hand over it,it feels fine. I hope it looks good with clear coat on it.
|I started sanding on the low spot today and 80% of every thing that was high was lead.This was one of those spots that you couldn't see but could feel.I guess it came from the factory like that.
T top structure.
T top conversions were not very well engineered, I have a 5.0 HO T top Capri RS. It had been driven hard, and crashed. The doors did not fit very well, I found the typical mustang cracks under the drivers seat, rocker panel , under the rear seat, upper quarter panel near the door. I got It up and straightened everything I could then installed a heavy duty sub frame ladder kit, and added more bracing in the front radiator support and under the rear seat. More tie plates, welds and 1/4 barn tin drill point screws in hard to weld areas. It is now solid and the rear tires hook up a lot better. I have a friend who does backyard body work. He put one crash on my heavy equipment trailer, blocked up the body, doubled up the winch cable with a snatch block, chained it down and pulled it back. A couple times we used the backhoe to be able to pull the direction we needed.
It really needs a pull on the rear body to relieve the pressure. You can pull that little dent out but with the pressure that probably there in the back end of that car it may come back unless repaired properly.
Heating it up, you are asking for trouble. Do you have a shop you could go to and get the pull and maybe the work just started and you finish the filler work and primer and all?
|Yes it had been rearended before,the honeycone thing was mashed pretty good an the inner steel bumper where the bolts come thru the body had indented the sheet metal about an 1/8 of an inche.I had to replace the lower quarter,honey cone chingadarea & the inner steel bumper,an theirs a very sm. crease on the frame rail. Theirs also a buckle in the floor pan that's below the rear seat,but I thought that might of came from running over something.I'm not a body work kinda person,infact I hate it, but nobody is going to do it for me. I turn wrenches a hell of alot better. I did look under the roof an their is a rail that runs under the low spot an it kinda looks like its low on either side of the rail. I haven't taken it down to bear metal yet I was scuff sanding an found it by running my hand over it. I know it will show up once theirs new clear coat on it.
Post some photos, I am not real clear on what this looks like. Is there access from the underside? I mean ANY access, is there a hole that you could put a rod thru to put some pressure on the back side?
I know this dent sounds like a buckle that could be there from the rear of the car being hit, has it been hit in the rear?
Big low spot on the roof corner
I have a big low area on the corner or where the roof starts to bend down,well its in the bend. This is a 78 Camaro w/t-tops, the low area starts at the opening of the t-top an extends back to the channel where the back glass sits, about 10" long an 5" wide.Also is right at where the roof was leaded in. I didn't want to use filler to fix it, but was wanting to use heat to hopefully pull it tight.If I was to use a propane torch should I heat the area above an below the low spot or on the low it self. I'm worried about the lead. I haven't looked yet at the bottom of the roof as the head liner is still in their, I'm gonna yank it out today,maybe I can slide something between the framing( if their is any) to push up. The bend is fairly sharp if I did use filler my longest board (20" long) won't be able to handle that much of an angle.Plus the sand paper would bunch up when bent.So I thought heating it up an using as little filler as I could would be best. So should I use heat an where to heat it up at? Or filler,an how I should sand it?

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 Arsenal
UEFA Champions League Group Stage
Wednesday, October 30, 2002
Scorers: Henry (Arsenal) 18, Gilberto (Arsenal) 38 (og), Rosicky (Borussia Dortmund) 63 (pen)
By Richard Clarke in Dortmund
Arsenal are through to the Second Phase of the Champions League. But their qualification came courtesy of PSV's 3-0 victory over Auxerre because Arsène Wenger's side lost 2-1 here in Dortmund tonight.
The home side hit both of David Seaman's posts before Thierry Henry's exquisite free-kick put us ahead after 18 minutes. Dortmund deservedly equalised just before the break when Tomas Rosicky's long-range free-kick brushed Gilberto's head before drifting in off the post.
However, we were more than holding our own when the Czech international added a penalty midway through the second half after Jan Koller was adjudged to have been fouled by David Seaman.
So, as it turned out, those three victories in our first three Champions League games were enough to put us through. And, although this was our fourth successive 2-1 defeat, there were encouraging signs. It is worth remembering that Dortmund have not been beaten at home in the Champions League since losing 3-0 to Rosenborg in October 1999. Their Bundesliga form is equally impressive this season - five wins and five draws in 10 games.
Wenger sprung a slight surprise in his team selection kick-off. Robert Pires returned to the starting line-up for the first time since injuring cruciate knee ligaments against Newcastle on March 23. The manager's pre-match comments had suggested the Frenchman would not be risked tonight.
Pires took up his usual berth in left midfield. But in another unexpected switch, Sylvain Wiltord stayed on the right side with Freddie Ljungberg taking the forward role slightly behind striker Henry. As a result of this tactical tweak, Kanu dropped to bench. Our Nigerian striker was joined there by Edu, who made way for the return of Patrick Vieira after suspension.
This re-shuffled formation had played barely 80 seconds together before the home side nearly scored. Lars Ricken raced clear on to a through ball from deep in the Dortmund half, outpaced our defence but planted his shot against the outside of Seaman's right-hand upright. The ball was hacked way by the grateful visiting backline.
Then, after Rosicky's shot had been smothered by Seaman, came another let-off. Ewethon tricked his way to the left-hand byline and whipped over a cross. It was met by the bald head of the 6ft 7ins Koller, who, not surprisingly, is normally lethal in the air. The Czech international's effort beat Seaman but rebounded off the inside of his left-hand post this time and again our defence snaffled the ball away.
Undoubtedly we were fortunate to be level. But fortune sometimes favours the brave as our 18th-minute goal illustrated. Ljungberg was fouled 25 yards out from the Dortmund goal and Henry stepped up to take the set-piece. It was a defiant decision as, by his own admission, our French striker had not been on top form since returning from the international break. However Henry produced a curling effort that arched into the right-hand corner of Jens Lehmann's goal, leaving the keeper flat-footed.
However as their form suggested, Dortmund responded with danger. Christian Worns nodded narrowly over from close range and Dede prodded a shot over the bar when he should have done better.
In between those chances, Ljungberg teased the Dortmund defence before setting up the fast-approaching Vieira who toe-poked inches wide.
However, as the interval came closer, the home side began to exert more pressure. Their equaliser came six minutes before the interval when Rosicky curled over a free-kick which brushed the top of Gilberto's head before bouncing in at the far post.
Wiltord nearly curled in another just before the break but, with PSV beating Auxerre 1-0, we were pretty happy with what we had.
Dortmund continued to dominate territorially at the start of the second half. But we were well capable of catching them on the break. That was demonstrated five minutes in when Gilberto robbed Torsten Frings and Henry carried the ball to edge of the Dortmund area. He found Ljungberg successfully just inside the area, the Swede's attempted chip was less proficient.
If anything, when Dortmund took the lead through Rosicky's penalty just after hour, we were looking more likely to score.
Koller raced into the area on the left side and then tumbled, somewhat theatrically, over Seaman's dive. Our England No 1 went the right way from the spot but Rosicky's shot arrowed its way into the corner.
Henry nearly nodded us level immediately but Lehmann held on to his angled header. Then Wenger replaced the tiring legs of Pires with the fresh ones of Kolo Toure. ?Another substitute, Kanu, nodded wide with his first touch after replacing Wiltord shortly afterwards.
Henry tried to inspire an equaliser at the end but it did not arrive. Fortunately, PSV had done us a favour. This victory means Dortmund now lead Group A, the winner will be decided in two weeks time.
Arsenal (4-4-2): Seaman; Lauren, Campbell, Cygan, Cole; Wiltord (Kanu, 79), Gilberto (Edu, 80), Vieira, Pires (Touré, 67); Ljungberg, Henry.
Borussia Dortmund (4-2-1-3): Lehmann; Evanilson, Worns, Metzelder, Dede; Kehl (Reuter, 69), Frings; Rosicky (Madouni, 90); Ricken (Heinrich, 85), Ewerthon, Koller.

Ok I need lots of advice---I am a U.S. citizen and I am interested in teaching English in Europe. My husband will be working in Europe next fall (either in Western or Eastern Europe, but he is not sure which country yet) so getting a visa will not be a problem for me. I have been looking at several online TEFL programs, but most forums are saying that Europe generally has much stricter policies about hiring teachers without practical experience. With my current schedule it may not be possible for me to take a rigorous on-site course at this time. I do, however, want to be able to gain experience teaching before I jump into this (since I have no experience) and most online programs do not provide that. I have looked into taking a weekend course combined with an online program, which may not be the absolute best option but it does give me at least 20 hrs of in-class experience. That being said these are my questions:
1)What certification programs will best help me be able to score a teaching job in Europe considering my situation at this time?
2) If I can't take an on-site certification program at this time, is it likely that I will be able to find a job in Europe with an online or weekend/combo certification program?
3) I have also heard that British English is preferred in Europe over American English. Is this true? And if so, could the fact that I am American hurt my chances of getting a teaching job?
Also any recommendations for programs are greatly appreciated!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Wow - thanks! This gives me great info to get started! I do have a set of old rods in the box, but not sure if they would require clearancing or not. I'm sure the response is better safe than sorry.
Are there any views on an FI setup v carb? We are in a colder climate (Calgary, Alberta. A couple of hours north of Great Falls, Montana). Anything to keep the drive good in the mountains.
Thanks again for the great information!
The Scat 5.7 rods:
Crane Cam Blazer 284-2H (.465"/.488" 284/294 duration, 224/234 @.050" tappet lift) (2200-5700 RPM range) 112 degree lobe separation angle, 9.5 to 10.75:1 static compression ratio advised.
springs 99848-16 e,f
or springs 96802-16 j
retainers 99915-16 f
or valve spring and retainer kit 11308-1 e,f
valve stem locks 99097-1 m
e standard diameter valve springs, no machining required.
f for 1967 to 1987 with 1.700" installed height.
j standard diameter chrome silicon valve springs for 1.750" installed height.
m machined steel, heat treated.
With the piston crown dish you have, here are the approximate SCR's you would end up with using different chamber volumes....
64 cc 10.8:1
68 cc 10.4:1
70 cc 10.2:1
76 cc 9.6:1
Your "stack" of parts will measure 9.0". Crank stroke radius 1.875", rod length 5.700", piston compression height 1.425" add up to 9.0".
Stock SBC block deck height is ~9.025". On a 350 block, you can play with the piston deck height (distance from the crown of the piston to the flat part of the block deck where the heads bolt on) a little because there are some thinner composition gaskets available such as 0.026" and 0.028", but there is nothing like that for a 400 block, so you have little choice (If you're going to run a tight squish) but to cut the block decks to zero (9.000") and use a conventional 0.040" composition gasket that is punched for steam holes. That will put your squish at 0.040". You have a nice flat portion above the ring pack on your pistons that will come up to meet the underside of the cylinder head as the piston comes to TDC, to "squish" the mixture out of that area and jet it across the chamber. The turbulence will homogenize the mixture and eliminate rich and lean pockets in the chamber that might or might not burn when the spark plug tells them to. Motors with a tight squish have shown to be more tolerant of low grade fuel.
Personally, if I were building this motor for a daily driver truck, I'd build it 9.6:1 with a 0.040" squish and be able to burn a lesser grade of fuel. If you build it right up against the wall and then take on a bad load of fuel, you'll have to open the hood and take some of the ignition timing out of the motor to prevent holing a piston or breaking the ring lands off the crowns from detonation. 9.6 is within the range that Crane recommends for the cam you have, so it should all come out smelling like roses.
I'd use a set of 1 5/8" long-tube, tuned length headers and install an H or X pipe before the mufflers. If looking for max power from the combo, I might use 1 3/4" primaries instead of 1 5/8". Recommend an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold with carb of your choice and a 14" x 4" air filter arrangement. Let 'er breathe. If you get any cold weather where you are, recommend the regular RPM intake, not the Air Gap model. The RPM, especially on a 406, will make more power from idle to max revs than any other manifold you could bolt onto the motor.
Almost forgot....begin by checking the roundness and parallelism of the main bearing bores. If they're out, align-hone or align-bore back to spec, then jig the block up on the main saddle to cut the block decks.
The 5.7 rods will need a little grinding at the bolt head area to miss some of the cam lobes, or you can buy a real nice set of Scat forged rods for about $260 that have already been manufactured with clearance. Look for Scat Pro Stock 5.7" SBC rods.
Using a flat tappet cam can be risky, please read and follow these instructions carefully......
F-bird - Thanks for the questions and pointers. This is a purely street engine, with the truck, a chopped 68 C10, currently getting a C notch and air suspension added to the rear.
I run premium in everything (lawnmowers and ATV included) and this will be the same. Our premium is 92, with one vendor selling 93 (methanol blend).
I was originally planning on picking up a thrashed 350 simply to try a rebuild to see if I remember anything from the 70s, and wound up with a 406 block and some parts, but no heads or intake. A decent street build is the target.
Thanks for the pointers! Just back from a quick parts muster in the garage, and here is what I have:
- Block - tag says .030. I also discovered, when unwrapping it, that one bolt hole was chipped. An easy fix according to the welding instructor across the street. It's been bored, requires a bath to remove the protective coating, and a hone.
- Sealed Power rings E243K
- Melling M55 oil pump
- Crane Blazer 284-2H cam
Deg duration @ .050 - 224 234
deg adv dur 284 295
deg lobe separation - 114
open/close .050 cam lift - 3 56, 41 (2)
gross lift .465 .488
valve springs 2620
push rods 1000
timing chain and gear assy 3405
- Pistons Speedpro H615CP. Hypereutectic Chevy 400 .030 dish pistons with relief valves. Found this link: 400 CHEVY Speed Pro Dish Pistons H615CP 5.7 Rod +30 - KMJ Performance
Misc - rods (not enough)
Clevite 77 bearings
harmonic balancer
flex plate for 350 (and apparently 700R4
Everything is completely unassembled. Mostly new in box, except connecting rods and pushrods, which will be new by build time.
Is this enough? I can post pix if that helps.
If you have them unassembled, give all the info you have on the parts. Piston diameter, piston compression height, part number if you have it, rod material, rod length, etc. There are lots of smart guys on this board who can help you assemble a motor that will do what you want it to, but we must know every little detail of what you have now in order to help you. Do you have the EXACT diameter of the bore?
You may want to use heads with a larger combustion chamber volume or you may want to use a more conventional head with a dished piston rather than what you have. You will want to engineer the build at somewhere around 9.0:1-9.5:1 static compression ratio with iron heads and no more than about 10.0:1 with aluminum heads if you plan to run the motor on pump gas. The more static compression ratio you run, the more cam you have to run to prevent excessive cylinder pressures that will detonate on pump gas. It's all a balancing act, involving all parts that must work in symphony with each other toward a final goal. It's what's referred to as a COMBINATION.
This afternoon, I DynoSimmed a combination for one of the other members of this board that used ProFiler heads. These are excellent aluminum heads that come in 64, 70 and 72 cc configurations and could be matched with the proper piston crown configuration to make the best static compression ratio to meet the needs of your build.
See the Sim here on post 18....
406 - first kick
So, having not touched an since high school, and now retired from the Navy, I decided to start 'tinkering' to see what I could remember. I decided to try find an old 350 to play with over the winter, so what actually happened was I picked up someone else's project engine:
Freshly bored 406, polished crank, new pistons, rings, cam, oil pump, flex plate, balancer and a few other odds and ends - most of the rotating assembly..
What I still need are
intake (likely some sort of FI)
Somewhere I have a note with recommended head numbers, but the part I *do* remember is that the PO recommended 76 mm combustion chamber for a lower compression ratio. And to get the heads drilled for steam holes.
Some way of figuring out what will work well with the current parts. Any pointers towards what I should be looking at for the top bits would be most appreciated. I'm way out of practice and don't really know what to be looking for when it comes to the options available these days.
The engine will likely be going into a 68 C10, or possibly a farm find 48 dodge, complete with farmyard bullet holes - if I can convince the 80 year old owner that he's likely not going to be doing anything with it...

Quote from: Joe D on June 29, 2012, 01:43:49 AM... And what kind of shots would you give these hogs, 30-06,300 mag., 7.62 x 39 or what...I have heard of folks in Hawaii using dogs to bay the beast and the hunter then rushing in with either a short spear or else a long machete.One time about 30 years ago I helped a friend of mine "unload" a CSA Horse pistol he purchased or inherited (I forget which) from an old timer in Arkansas. It required several #11 caps on most of the nipples but we got her discharged (unloaded that is). My friend told me the old man said that he carried his grand dad's Confiderate pistol to harvest the wild hogs that his dogs bayed.The last will and testament of one of my maternal Great Grand fathers listed 34 head of ear notched or ear marked hogs running loose in the woods. Even the Disney flick "Old Yellow" had a hog hunting or pig ear marking segment.
... And what kind of shots would you give these hogs, 30-06,300 mag., 7.62 x 39 or what...
You can take hogs on your property by any means other than dynamite. Quote from a game warden once.
How do those wild hogs taste? I mean a young one, I know how an old boar pig tastes. My dad made us eat one once and I have never forgiven him and he's been dead for years.

Chapel Hill, N.C. - The North Carolina volleyball team registered a 3-1 victory over the Maryland Terrapins Friday night, winning 27-25, 22-25, 25-19, 25-17. The Tar Heels improved to 16-4 (7-3) on the season. Freshman Paige Neuenfeldt paced the Heels with 14 kills while hitting an impressive .355, and libero Ece Taner led the defensive effort with 25 digs.
"I'm excited to get this win at the beginning of a home stand for us. I was so excited about the way we played early in the match, but we played really sloppy in the middle. It became a serving and passing game, in which we weren't as strong as we needed to be," said North Carolina head coach Joe Sagula.
"Overall, I'm excited how we finished strong and played well at the end. We found ways to win, and we played a lot of people once again. So I think we just want to build momentum, build confidence going into tomorrow, and we'll evaluate the whole weekend and hopefully with another victory tomorrow."
Carolina raced out to a 16-8 lead in the first set courtesy of six kills by Neuenfeldt. However, the Terrapins would go on to take 14 of the next 20 points, including a run of five in a row, to even the score. Carolina responded with a kill by Kayla Berringer and after an attack error by the Terrapins, the Tar Heels would claim the set 27-25.
The second set became a see-saw affair, as no team led by any more than four points despite six service aces from the Tar Heels. Ultimately, Maryland's Ashleigh Crutcher, a Cary native, would lead the Terrapins to the win, knocking home the final kill to claim the set 25-22.
The Tar Heels responded with a decisive third set victory behind the arm of Emily McGee. The senior recorded six kills on nine attempts, as Carolina hit .359 on the set, while holding the Terrapins to just a .171 clip.
Carolina closed it out in the fourth set with a 25-17 win. Kayla Berringer tallied four kills, while Neuenfeldt and Tia Gaffen contributed three apiece. Cora Harms also had a kill of her own in the deciding set.
The Tar Heels return to action tomorrow afternoon at 5 p.m. in Carmichael Arena. They welcome the visiting Boston College Eagles on Turn It Pink night, as the Heels will wear pink jerseys in honor of cancer awareness.

Status Update 2014-01-29
28 January - MAIET Games
Hello everyone,
First of all, were sorry about late update. As we finished our Early Access program preparation last week, we have been waiting for completion of Valves game review process. We did not expect this to take this long. Were currently working with Valve to finish the review process and set a release date for GunZ 2. However, we had to postpone it to February because of the Lunar New Years day holiday (1/30~2/1) in Korea, where MAIET office is located.
Again, we apologize about the delay but we promise to launch the game soon in early February.

Stupid question(s) alert.
I have a few items I want to hang on the wall. Using some ideas I have seen on here and other sites, I have a pretty good idea of how I want them to look.
One of thing that would make the display pop is a plaque or label somewhere on the stand identifying the movie (written in proper font), the character the item belongs to, and the name of the item. Maybe even include some icons or symbols associated with the movie or character. This would be something similar to other fan made ones I've seen, or the Master Replicas displays.
Star Wars
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi
Boba Fett's
Modified BlasTech
EE-3 Carbine
With maybe the mythosaur skull on one side and the Mandalorian chest symbol on the other?
My question, for the fans that have made something similar, do you just go to any engraving shop and have those made? They don't give you any hassle for using copyrighted logo, icons, pictures, intellectual property and all that?
Or are there some online engraving shops with whom you can upload what you want, they engrave it, and mail it to you? That way you could make the layout exactly as you want in Photoshop and just send it to them.
Or going a different direction with PS...create the whole design, using a metallic looking background, and using the blending options to make everything look engraved. That might not look bad especially if it's behind plexiglass.
Or on that same path, is there some kind of metallic looking paper or labels that one could print on and have it look pretty realistic? I've seen the foil metal address labels, but that seems a bit too shiny to me.
Just throwing this out there to see what people do. Thanks in advance.

By Josh James in Kuala Lumpur
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has already been bonding with new signings Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski - by sharing the pain of the intense pre-season regime.
All three players starred at Euro 2012, so have only just returned to pre-season training, but those early session have provided a perfect opportunity for Oxlade-Chamberlain to get to know his new team-mates.
"Well I've only been running so far in training - a small group of me, Laurent Koscielny, Olivier, Sebastien Squillaci and Theo," he said.
"For the last couple days we have been quite tight, so I have got to know Olivier quite well. I'm getting on really well with him already - he's teaching me a bit of French and I'm trying to teach him some English. He's a really good lad.
"I met Lukas for the first time yesterday, and he's a really good lad too. I did a bit of running with him too. We were there for each other at the end of the eight-minute run to pick each other up off the floor!
"It's nice when you're going through the pain of a running session for your mate to come over and pick you up off the floor. When that is also on the very first day that you've met each other, I think that's a good sign and I think both players will be a massive asset for the Club this year and for the future."
The full interview with Oxlade-Chamberlain will appear on Arsenal Player soon.

Matt Quinton (Elora, Ontario, Canada, Kitchener Braves)led Roanoke with a season-high five goals. He moved into 21st on the all-time scoring list (132pts) and 12th on the career goals list at Roanoke (107).

Sam Love (Berwyn Heights, MD, Dematha)had a goal and an assist for his first multi-point game of his career along with six groundballs. Stephen Simmons (West Friendship, MD, Mt. St. Joseph)collected six groundballs.
Greg Khanzadian (Syracuse, NY, Christian Brothers)won 11-of-17 face-offs with eight groundballs while Justin Tuma (Bloomfield Hills, MI, Lahser)collected a team-best nine groundballs and won 9-of-14 face-off attempts.

Tristan Miller led F&M with four goals. Colin McKew finished with two goals and three assists to lead the Diplomats while Kevin Kilpatrick added two goals and one assist.

Critics are already raving about Jude Law's performance in "Dom Hemingway," and now there's a new teaser trailer for all to enjoy.
Slated to hit theaters on April 4th, the much-anticipated flick also stars Emilia Clarke, Kerry Condon, Demian Bechir and Richard E. Grant.
Preparing for a busy day as a movie star, Jude Law headed out with script in hand on Monday morning before attending the premiere of "Dom Hemingway" at The Curzon Mayfair.
Wearing a casual white top as he carried his suit to his car, the "Talented Mr. Ripley" star had a script in hand - perhaps preparing for a new project. Later, the 40-year-old donned a gray jacket, crisp white collared shirt, and black pants for the premiere.
He's always up for a challenge, and Jude Law looks magnificent in the new UK trailer for the forthcoming flick "Dom Hemingway."
Directed by Richard Shepard, the much-anticipated dramedy also stars Richard E. Grant, Demián Bichir, and Emilia Clarke, and is slated to hit theaters here in the States on April 4th, 2014.
Hard at work on his new gig, Jude Law showed up on the East End set of "Dom Hemingway" last night (November 20).
The "Sherlock Holmes" actor looked to have put on some weight for his role, though he looked just as dashing as he filmed scenes outdoors.

Re: I've Been Staked!
Re: I Am Phelps
This is really good, but one thing irks me - the ribbons don't quite match up. The medals to either side seem like they have short ribbons on one side and really, really long ones on the other, because of the way you've laid them out. I can't quite explain it, it just sort of makes it look awkward.

Re: Dare to scare?
This is going to be rejected. Woot can only print front OR back; not both.
Re: Uncle Rico
Woot can't print all the way up to the collar.
ebonyglider wrote:Why wouldn't this be legal? There was a shirt with Zelda stuff on it a little while ago.
Isn't the mere shape of Mickey Mouse's head owned by Disney? Just the lack of text doesn't change the obvious recognizability of the Game Boy. Woot rejected a shirt for using the power button, for Pete's sake. I had a shirt rejected for looking similar to Dr. Suess' characters. This ought to easily be rejected, and when you consider I had a design rejected out of the fog for looking too much like a van Gogh painting, which was certainly not even under copyright, it's hard to justify this staying.

Hey this is like my third design!! Anyways this is basically for those who can't afford the whole shebang of the darth vader costume, but can afford a good shirt. It even has a name tag!! Votes and comments very,very welcome!!
bitz wrote:OK, here are some close up detail images
Well, I see a lot of detail that is finer than woot's own stated limit of 1 point, thinner than which their screens will not print.
I sized your detail of the bat's head to the shirt design size and drew a 1 point yellow line on it:
I believe that the bat, which is impressive, is just too finely detailed for a woot shirt.

Thanks for pointing that out, this is my first entry (well technically second, I had originally submitted this as a simple vector work) so I was bound to get something wrong. I really don't think it matters anyway, mine is nowhere near as good as some of the ones on here, so it is really unlikely that I would make it into the top ten. I was just happy to enter the derby, it was fun making this too, expect to see me here with a submission every week now.
eharmon wrote:Is there always this much anger around here, or is it new to this Derby?
Pretty much, sadly, yeah... usually comes out when people think that rules are not being followed and Woot is ignoring the rule breakers.
iris420 wrote:Yes, young Jack must scale the mighty mounds of plenty! I love this design. It's much more than just a costume shirt. GMV fo sho!
Exactly. I like the fact that his journey will appear all that more difficult by having to scale the Mammary Mountains. Depending on placement, however, I worry poor Jack might be totally lost in the shadow of said boob and won't be seen again. Although, that might add to the funny. Either way, GMV.
Incredibly unoriginal...ive seen shirts like this everywhere. Ive even made a parody version of it with some friends
The eyes are gonna look a little odd on a female....

Sorry about the pixels in the image. For some reason my Photoshop isn't letting me save JPGs, so my images are being converted from GIF to JPG. It's causing little artifacts to appear. Thanks for looking anyways!

Learning to shoot in manual is definitely like learning a foreign language. Yesterday Chloe asked me if it is hard to learn to drive a car, and I explained that it was really a just matter of mastering a combination of several components, and that with practice it eventually becomes second nature... I thought to myself that photography is very similar. Composition plus the right camera settings is a lot to master in the short window you have to point and shoot, trying to capture every day moments. But just like with any new skill, Ashley emphasizes the importance of practice, practice, PRACTICE!
I still have a long way to go, and of course I already have a lenses wish list. Here's a little peek at my first "practice" session since the SnapShop... so go easy on me. Who better to practice on than a very cooperative and cute newborn?!
After taking these on Saturday, Kayla regretted not being in any of the shots, so we threw together a last-minute family shoot on Sunday! Another day to snuggle my new niece? No argument. We arrived at this field with about ten minutes of sunlight left.
Stella says, "Who is the crazy lady with the camera in my face every day of my week-long life?"

Graduate School of Education's Ecological Teaching and Learning program graduate brings her skills and tireless efforts to the Peace Corps.
In the Philippines, one Lesley alumna is serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer (PCV). Dana Jordan has been working in San Donisio, near Iloilo City on Panay Island, in an area recently devastated by Super Typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda in the region). "Relief is slow going here," she reported to her fellow Ecological Teaching and Learning colleagues early on. Nonetheless, Dana has been working long hours to help in any way she can.
"It has been almost a week since typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines, and for many volunteers it has been mixed with feelings of grief and helplessness. For the past week the Peace Corps Volunteers from Iloilo province have been consolidated in Iloilo city where (like other volunteers from affected areas) we have been waiting to hear from our host families, anxiously waiting to go back to our sites to help, and waiting for the impossible to happen--for things to return to normal. Surrounded by news programs displaying footage of destruction and loss it is hard to not feel an overwhelming sense of responsibility to our communities; they took care of us and now it's our time to help them. But how can we help? One volunteer answered this question, channeling her feelings into productivity and inspiration. While inquiring at the provincial government office as to how she can be of assistance, Dana Jordan (pictured at right of photo) met a team of volunteers who are tirelessly working to send aid to the effected municipalities in Iloilo. Without hesitation, Dana volunteered and encouraged the other PCVs at our consolidation point to join the effort. So for the past few days we have been packing trucks with rice, canned sardines, noodles, and bottled water, all with the hope that some of this aid makes it into the hands of the loved ones we left behind. Packing the trucks is physically draining and often becomes too stressful for us to work very long. However, with seemingly superhuman stamina, Dana has been volunteering entire days, working some nights until 9pm. She quickly made friends at the aid dispatching center and has even taken over as a team leader. Yesterday I went to volunteer and was inspired just watching Dana; she was speaking nearly perfect Ilongo, directing people, tallying bags of rice, and doing all of this with a contagious smile. She has become somewhat of a celebrity at the provincial office, even bringing the other Filipino volunteers candy and words of encouragement during her breaks. Dana truly epitomizes the meaning of volunteer; she is determined to do whatever she can to help her community. She told me that while volunteering she had the chance to talk with her mayor who asked her, "When are you coming home?". Dana said that hearing the mayor call San Donisio her home reinforced her desire to help knowing that San Donisio was her home and the community was her family. Dana has been using the aid delivery trucks to send letters and personal care packages to her site, her host family, her co-workers, and her friends; inspiring other PCVs to do the same. From her work she has inspired volunteers to not give up or become discouraged, even when our small bags of rice and bottles of water seem useless against the mass destruction broadcasted on the news." Relief efforts continue. Help if you can.

We also had one lid blow off, the bees are all clustered on right against the inner cover - I did see some movement, not much. We quickly put the cover back on (and strapped it down).
Anytime the bees are found up against the inner cover, some concern should be noted as the bees have already eaten straight to the top, and many times are there trying to conserve energy by benefitting from the trapped heat at the top of the hive.You may may plenty of stores below the bees, but unless they have ample opportunity to get to it, they may die in any prolonged cold snap.I'd consider some feed.
where a large number of the cells within the cluster area show bees bottom up
In the past I have tried the newspaper and sugar on top of the frames, the bees just don't seem to take it.
Prolonged cold snap.....hmmmm.... 2 weeks staying below zero with sub teens and 20's at night.
pretty sure I said below zero you check


text: hsstudents-1.jpg Development & Education How much should 'elite' matter when deciding where to go to college? WGBH News April 27, 2015 Updated 04/28/2015 - 10:00am Admission and rejection letters are in. Now, high school seniors are trying to decide which colleges they'll choose, and where they'll put down their deposits by the looming May 1 deadline. One factor that weighs heavily on parents' and students' minds: how elite a school is.
