Four Political Leaders Recognized for Bipartisan Teamwork
SACRAMENTO -- While leaders in Washington have pushed the government shutdown into a fourth day, a permanent exhibit to compromise is dedicated at the State Capitol.
In 2010, four of California's political leaders -- Democratic Senator Darrell Steinberg and Congresswoman Karen Bass and Republicans David Cogdill and Michael Villines -- were honored with the Kennedy Foundation's national Profile in Courage Award.
The bi-partiasan coalition received the award for the courage they demonstrated a year earlier, when they came together to reach an unpopular compromise of tax increases and program cuts to help rescue the state from a $42 billion deficit.
A permanent exhibit of that award is now on display near the East Entrance of the State Capitol. As, former Assembly-Republican leader Michael Villines -- says it offers a lesson for those on Capitol Hill today.
"What's more important than anything else is working together and having a servant's heart and mentality in putting the people first. And if you do that, you'll start to be able to break through and make some decisions and get things solved," Villines said.

#PositiveLocalNews: Vietnam Veteran Cleans Up Trash Off Monterey Streets
Don Williams, 65, has been cleaning up for 6 years
MONTEREY, Calif. - He served the country and now he's serving locally on a smaller scale but still making a big impact. Don Williams, 65, is a Vietnam veteran who goes around almost every day picking up trash in Monterey for free.
Williams said he's getting older and cleaning up the city helps him stay active. But the main reason he does it is because he's just tired of seeing trash lying around. With his own time and money, he started his own clean-up effort, called "Lizzards Lick Clean-up," and hopes to get the community to think twice before littering.
Each day, he rides 15 miles through Monterey picking up trash.
"I started six years ago and I made my own trailer. I do my own handy work," he said.
Slideshow: Vietnam Veteran Cleans Up Trash Off Monterey Street
He has three grabbers and several five-gallon buckets to do the job. And, of course, his lizards for protection. They're not real, by the way.
"I pick it (trash) up," Williams said. "I don't need to stop. I just grab it and throw it back there without looking."
Williams said to maintain the bags and all the equipment, it can run him between $140 and $200 a month. He doesn't do it for the glory. It's all out of his heart for the love of his community.
"It's out of my pocket. Once in a while I go to City Council and try to get them out of their fancy offices and see what actually goes on in this town. It just makes me a little sick of how people just throw it out and usually it's the local people that do it," he said.
Williams rounds up about five to 20 pounds of trash across the city every week. After six years, many locals can't help but notice what he's doing for the community.
"I get a lot of help from the local people here. Everyone in town knows me here and they don't bother me," he said.
He said he went before the Monterey City Council several times in the past to let councilmembers know about all the trash he's finding. The assistant city manager told Central Coast News he is appreciative of anyone who generously helps clean up the city.
Hans Uslar, Monterey deputy city manager, said when Williams spoke in front of City Council a couple of months ago, the mayor thanked him for his efforts. He said Williams is a good guy and "very serious" about his work.

Sunbury Adds Lines, Expands Bedding
April 12, 2010,
Following up on the 2009 launch of Quest, the company's umbrella brand for sustainable fabrics and processes, Sunbury Textiles is launching two new collections for the luxury interior design market — Touch, a proprietary finish applied to natural fibers, and Premium Linen, a collection that is featured as pure linen in a variety of constructions that give widely varying hands and effects.
Added Jennifer Hendren, vp, design for jobbers: "We're using eight to 10 colors in each filling yarn, and we have three fills." She continued "the design aesthetic is new and fresh and all looks are included in the 75 patterns in the debut."
An added plus, she said, is that the fabrics all pass standards to upholstery use without backing.
Tom Notaro, vp, sales and marketing commented: "We're already building right away for new combinations beyond this launch." The next product progression will be sheers.
Touch can only be used with natural fibers – all cotton, or cotton with exotic blends of baby alpaca or other natural fibers. Price points range from $20 to $40 a yard cost.
In the Premium Linen collection, all varieties of linen are used – alone or in blends.
"We have one-piece minimums and are extending the reach of the fiber with the designs ad constructions," said Hendren.
The 75-pattern group for the debut starts at $23 a yard up to $50, depending on the novelty yarns involved.
Sunbury also is expanding its bedding collection – now in its third launch – which extends its reach both in design and coloring. The focus is more on graphic looks — geometrics and contemporary designs — as well as more overall designs and skin motifs in natural and unusual colors.
The bedding fabrics — 59 inches wide — are shown in 28 patterns with eight to 10 colors per pattern.
This season's collection highlights fuchsia, magenta, kiwi and teal as fashion-forward shades for the bedroom. Price points are $5.95 to $12.95 per yard with the majority at $9.95.

Intersection of 2 subspaces
Here is my problem :
In a vectorial space of dimension n, I have 2 different subspaces defined
by a set of vectors. I need to find the subspace intersection of those 2
subspaces that is to say find the vectors directors that define the
subspace intersection.
For example if n=4
If my first subspace is defined by the vectors (0,0,0,1) and (0,0,1,0)
If my second subspace is defined by the vectors (1,0,0,0) and (0,0,1,1)
Then the answer would be the subspace intersection defined by the vector
If someone could tell me where to find such a function or how to build an
efficient algorithm that could handle much higher values of n (up to
25-30) that would be a great help for me.

I don't agree with this. A command should NEVER be repeated(not even once)you are not asking the dog to do something, you are telling them.
Your dog thinks you talk too much. Trust me. He does. Friends and family may hang on your every word, but not your dog. Dogs have their own natural language,, but it doesnt have words.dog language is visual. They communicate volumes with their posture, their tails, their eyes, and their ears. For this reason, their first instinct when trying to figure out what we want is to watch us; not to listen to us. Our constant talking is just noise to them.
Try following this simple rule. If you tell your dog to do something 5 times and he doesnt do it 4 of those times, stop telling him to do it. Training happens every time we interact with our dogs, whether we notice it or not. If you keep calling your dog or telling him to get off the counter and he doesnt listen, then you are actively training him to ignore you. We need to make our words count in dog training. So what do you do if you cant repeat a command to a dog who is ignoring you? You change your focus, which leads to our second big difference between how dogs and humans experience the world.
If you want to make sense to your dog, you must learn to change direction on a dime. If your dog strands you at the dog park for an extra hour by refusing to come when called, for example, youre going to be really frustrated. No matter how angry you are, you must praise and reward that dog when he finally comes. Because he associates your behavior with what he is doing right now, scolding will only make him less likely to come next time.have you tried clicker training? if you do, what i would do, is every time i say "OFF" and he listens i would click and treat. gsd do very good at learning clicker training.
|I had a heck of a time teaching my golden off. He would grab stuff off the counter and bring it to me. He loved getting my phone. He is almost a year and he only attempts if now if I'm filling up the water bowl and he really wants it. I tell him off and he does a dance but knows hd isn't getting it until he stays put. The goal is to teach the dog off and reward when he obeys. I also agree with throwing another command out there if needed. I like being able to tell him off and he automatically sits/ stays, but he still dances in place
|Mary Beth
|Your pup is testing you, to see if you really mean it the second time or third. So be consistent - rules are rules. I do find it more productive to teach an alternative behavior. Pup jumps on counter, say off sharply - then before the pup can try again, have pup do a down/stay and reward that behavior. Slowly extend the time the pup is on the down/stay. It will help in the beginning to have the pup on a leash so you can step on the leash to stop him from jumping up again. The goal is that the pup will learn to lie down on the floor by the counter instead of jumping up because he has learned that he will get a reward for being good.
Enforcing "off"
My puppy is now 4 1/2 months old. From the beginning we have told him "off" when he jumped up onto things or put his two huge front paws where they didnt belong. We would gently push him down while saying "off". Now that he is getting bigger he likes to put his head/paws up on the kitchen island to try and grab whatever he can get. Whenever I tell him "off" he seems to listen only %50 of the time, maybe less.
What is a better way to enforce this? Should I have him wear a leash in the house and give him a hard correction? Sometimes when I correct him for doing it and push him off he jumps right back up again. I swear he thinks he's funny...

I was so proud to harvest a Drake Golden Eye this weekend with a band.
My issue is that the band only has a series of 9 very faint numbers and no other ID?
The band is very thin in thickness, almost like tin, but as wide as a normal band.
Could anyone advise me where I could send the number to find out some info on this fine bird?
What also makes it special, it was retreived by my 1.5 German Shorthair Pointer (NAVHDA trained) and I have pictures of her swimming back to hand , the leg is sticking up with the band!!

With almost every new game with micro-transactions I see people upset that certain items are cash-shop only. I've seen the worry of cash shops ruin tons of games before they are even played. And if you think a "cosmetics only" cash shop has any sort of profitability u are sorely mistaken. It only works in games where looking good is the goal, and there aren't many of those types of games.
What exactly is acceptable to sell? (giving that the pricing is also fair)
For my experience these are the cash shop items I approve and disapprove of:
Lock boxes
Cosmetic options
Skill resets depending on the game
Bank/storage/inventory space
Premium pets/creatures/mounts assuming normal ones can get gotten in-game
Resurrection scrolls
Experience boosts
Pets/creatures/mounts that can only be obtained through cash shop
Anything skill related
Endgame gear
Gear protection that's guaranteed to protect something when upgrading/reinforcing
Stat/damage boosts

I would like tricks and tools on how to deal with students that have attention disorders. I have experienced, in one of my classes, a student that had a really bad attention disorder. In addition, I had to give him his medication in class, which made me feel very uncomfortable.
What I would like to know is how can one teacher deal with students with attention disorder in a classroom where most students progress normally.
Also, how are teachers supposed to deal with the parents of disabled children.
Thank you

Hi, I'm an atheist who was raised secular, but I have attended religious services with people from many different backgrounds. Now, I don't dislike anyone who believes in God. In fact, I love to talk to people about what they believe and what inspires them to follow the God they have chosen. However, no matter how many people I talk to, the conversation almost always ends with the same argument: that, if God does not exist, then what is lost by believing in God as long as it makes life easier?
I've lost respect for many people based of this answer, since it seems to me that these people don't care if they lose their self respect in the process of making "life bearable" . Its like saying its ok to believe in Santa Claus for the rest of your life, even though he never brings you presents, because at any time he COULD bring you presents and you also have someone to blame for NOT getting gifts. And if he never brought you gifts, what does it matter? You apparently were happy about wasting you time waiting for him.
Is there another way to think of this logically? I would like to know what you think about this argument. What, if anything is wasted by believing in a God that doesn't exist. Is there any reason to compartmentalize the pain that exists in life so much that it creates a false God?

I refer you to the following as a start:
Though not your own words, your response was so much more complete than mine. :D
#1 It is dishonest. You can not believe something that is not true without lying, at least to yourself.
#2 Claiming any religion is true without evidence lends more support to something that doesn't deserve it.
#3 Much is lost when believing in a god that is not real, especially if the god you are choosing to believe in demands animal/human sacrifice and tithing to a power structure built on a lie.
Hi Leigh if i understand your question correctly it really depends on where you were born as to whether or not religion/belief makes you "happier". If yo were born in Sweden it wont but if you were born in Indonesia it would http://www.humanism.org.uk/campaigns/religion-and-belief-surveys-st....
However it is difficult to qualify or quantify "belief" or "happiness"
regards Bob
had to reply on this, since i'm currently living in Indonesia...
the total BS-ness if religion have a positive impact is beyond 100% chart...i could say there are few bloodshed localized war due religious sparks..you may find it if you search..at least i know there are 2 events occurred in my life time (and i'm still under 30) which left many people died, man woman and even children.
the only positive impact is towards the same religion population.
and as for myself, religion is only have negative impact..as many people have used it to gain political positions, to gain defense of action against some "foreign" matter, to influence others standing ground, etc.
To me the counter to this argument comes down to whether it is really possible to will yourself to believe in god. I know I was never able to do that. I suppose for those who are able to believe, believing might make life easier. For example, I am an incredibly anxious, worrying sort of person and since I've had kids I've poured all my neurotic worry into them! (Amazingly, they seem to have grown into quite well-adjusted young men.) So, maybe if I believed that god was in control and that everything would work out according to god's plan, etc I might be more relaxed. (But I doubt it, religious mothers, in my experience can also be anxious and neurotic about their kids.) Or, I suppose if your life really, really, really sucked the promise of an amazingly wonderful afterlife might make you feel better (so long as you believed that you were good enough for the amazingly wonderful brand of afterlife and not the other brand). But that is all supposing that you actually have the capacity to believe. For me, it is not just in my DNA, so to speak. Is it possible to will yourself to believe?
As an ex christian, I can try an give you a picture of what it's like: I'll use myself as an example.
A deed is done that causes me to feel worried that I'll be caught. Lets say I cheated on my wife.
Now the worry drives me nuts, constantly listening for any clues that the wife might suspect something, hoping that none of my friends will tell her what they know etc.
Now If you are a religious person, all you do is you pray to god to forgive you (not the wife!) and then you "leave it in god's hands" - those magical words!
Then you can safely put these worries out of your head and get on with living as if nothing happened. THAT my friend is exactly the relief religion can bring. You no longer need to feel quilty!
Of course it all comes crashing down when the wife finds out. Strangely the courts do not accept the fact that god forgave you this sin as reason to give you the car and the house :-)
"If god does not exist, then what is lost by believing in god as long as it makes life easier?"
Well, for starters, a whole lot of mental and emotional energy that could be better spent on making life easier for others as well as yourself. And as other posters pointed out, there's the matter of honesty and self respect. The days when herd mentality made up for the lack of both are ending with the greater public presence of atheism, which means that believers are spending more time trying to justify why they believe what they do--and given the touchiness believers are exhibiting these days (if it's not just me who's running into this phenomenon), the self justification thang ain't going too well.
There is no reason for anyone to compartmentalize pain of any sort--the best way to deal with pain, assuming you don't want to wallow in it, is to let it out and confront it openly. Needless to say, religion doesn't exactly help with the process of rational management of life's pains; in fact religion thrives on them. And thus there is no reason for religion to actually deal with life in a constructive manner. As nonreligious ways of dealing with pain continue to bear fruit, perhaps some of the religious will see there are secular solutions to life's problems, and the "need" for religion will continue to slowly lessen. And so the glacier continues to move down the slope...
The FSM, of course. I take the wager very seriously...
May we all be touched, blessed, pacified, etc. by noodly appendages
Why should be a god? It can make life more bearable if everyone believed that superman exist; if an army of a galactic empire try to conquer earth i have faith that superman will come to save us. Or if a magician with no nose appears, i have faith that a young british boy with round glasses will appear and defeat him.
I would start by asking how would believing in a god that doesn't exist make live bearable, you explain that quite well with the Claus analogy, so i'll leave that there.
I think that the harm in believing in a non-existent god is proportional to the amount of influence we let such believe affect our lives. For example, in times of grieving someone might handle it by going out for a drink, meditating, hugging a stuffed animal given by the loved one, others undergo into personal fantasy, while others pray. would prayer be regarded as illogical or harmful compared to any of the above? My answer is depends on what are you intentions in any of such actions. And should prayer be regard as better than any of the above?
But when you consider such non-existent god the foundation of your live, your morals and decisions, and consider them superior to any other opinion or facts there can be a great damage limited only by willingness and morals of the individual or the group.
Then we have the role of religion and theology in a world where god is non-existent, Why should religion spread and maintain rules that has no source whatsoever? If they base their teaching in evidence and well reasoned arguments, why encircle them in dogma and actions that has no effect in real world? Why would it be better a theologian or a priest representing a non-existent god to a philosopher or a scientist regarding morality of a new found situation (like human cloning for perfect organ compatibility)?
So, the only thing left is the believe in an individual and personal god that doesn't exist and whose only function is soothing in times of misfortune. In that situation, why would it be better than a stuffed animal given by a loved one, go out for a drink, meditating or play a game?
In conclusion, i don't think there is a rational reason to believe in an non-existent god, any soothing action that could be achieve by having that believe can be obtain without going to the supernatural. The only thing we have to do is try and find an activity that work best for us.

also your axle would be 3.42 not 3.41
there was also 3.40 in these trucks these years it was RPO code HE4
check RPO sticker in glovebox
you may be confused with the 2.41 ratio of the late '70s GM 7.5" 10 bolt axle cars
good luck
|Thanks for the info.
the company I work for buys 100 to 250 cores at a time
|Hi Drew, I called a few local trans shops and found one at Dennys transmissions on North Cave Creek road for $150, then he took my old TH350 in trade and knocked off $75. We were both happy. Make some calls and see what some shops want for the full conversion. I wanted to build my own so its not too bad cost wise, but parts and upgrades are more on the 700. I think I have about $450 in parts now, plus the cost of the core. I can do the install myself at my sons shop so thats a plus too.
|I'm sorry this is an older thread, but what do you mean by you purchase the cores from brokers? I am a local to PHX and looking to drop a 700R4 in my '76 Blazer, was thinking about taking the one out of my S10 but I don't want to run into problems with having two non working vehicles at the same time. Where and how might I get my hands on the cores you speak of to rebuild.
1988 to 1992 are better units to start with. 4L60E needs a computer / controller to operate.
We deal with brokers. A yard may want more cash for a 700 core. i've not bought from a yard in 2 years myself. In fact I have bought no cores for 2+ years
Yes, Transtar is near 35th ave and Mcdowell.
I'll copy down your suggestions and see what I can find.
Where is a good place for the cores? Junk yards? I'll check the paper too. Do I need to stay with the 700 or can I use the later model 4L60/or E tranny?
I called my buddy in Black Canyon city with all the goodies, but nothing that new. He's into the old stuff.
Transtar near McDowell road?
cores are running 100.00 - 125.00 for 1988 -up tranny core.
Common sense rebuild is needed.
Bushings, check drive shell, Raybestos Z Pak 3-4 kit, TransGo JR 700 kit.
The 3-4 clutch pack in the 700 has been a problem since the trans was introduced. I would use the Z-Pak from Raybestos... IMHO
IF the 700 tranny has a .422 main boost valve , block the line bias valve in the v-body. Main press will be 210 psi max. A nice setup for the street.
I like the Sonnax billet OD servo. I put one in my 2006 Silverado with 380 miles on the truck
re: 700R4
I think you'll be very happy with the 700R4 if mileage is your goal. The drive ratio in 4th gear (overdrive) is .7 to 1 versus 1 to 1 with a TH350. In other words, for every .7 revs of the engine, you get one full rev of the output shaft on the tranny...nice!
An additional note. Although some people don't like the 700 for performance, they can be built for some serious applications. There are a number of different accessories and parts you can buy to optimize your tranny for your particular application. For instance, they have a wiring kit for the lock up to reduce slippage. They also have what looks like a little cylinder that goes inside the tranny and allows you to stay in 4th gear with the hammer dropped (if you want to). Otherwise, the stock ones will drop back to 3rd gear for acceleration...I think the 'vette ones might not do this.
Anyway, just "google" some of these parts and I'm sure you'll find something that will help.
Thanks Tony. Guess I'll make some calls on a core 700. Any suggestions on a fair price for one?
Any thoughts on the parts cost to do a good rebuild? I bought all my 350 parts from Transtar last time. I really liked the guys there, super helpful and I felt the parts kit was excellent. I bought a master kit and converter and shift improver kit and don't think I had over $180 total.
I"ve read lots of the articles here on the 700 and the upgrades. Do I need to really do ALL the suggested upgrades? I"m not going to be shoving 500 horse through it, but I just need it to last.
Thought just came to mind. My wifes '86 Caprice has a 700 in it! LOL Wonder if she'd mind?
you have thought of one area most folks do not know is there...
If the engine RPM drops low enough or you have your foot on the gas pedal a bit harder in OD fuel mileage suffers. Vacuum falls off and the carb will richen up.
If it is worth the swap is a number you will need to cypher on. Cost of 700 tranny installed and the resulting fuel mileage increase if any.
you already know it is a bolt in.
Years ago I swapped my brothers t-350 out of his 1977 GMC truck with 4.10 rear gears. With the 700 tranny his mileage jumped UP 4.5 mpg on the hiway. He was happy till his wife told him to sell the truck 2 years later.
I spent a chunk of money to get better fuel mileage a month ago... Sold my F-150 Super Crew Ford and bought a 2006 VW Jetta TDI car. Current fuel mileage on the Jetta after 2k miles is 40 mpg in town.
Swapping to 700r4 worth it?
I need some opinions from all you tranny experts please.
My truck is a '77 1/2 ton with a metal shell camper. Its not a tank but it is an older heavy truck.
Current engine is a mild 350 with a th350 tranny. I built both about a year ago. Both are fine. My gears are 3.41 and my tires are 31" tall. My current rpm at 65 is 2600. My driving is probably split between in town (40-45) and in town freeway at 55-60. On trips, I try to keep my speed at or below 65.
The problem is my fuel milage stinks. I"ve spent a lot of time tuning and re-jetting the carb and have managed to increase my milage about 1.5 mpg overall. I still only get 9.8 in town with the A/C on and highway is 13+ with A/C and no load in the truck. I sometimes pull a Coleman tent trailer or my boat, neither weigh that much and I don't use them much either.
I"m wondering about finding a good 700 core and building another (my second) tranny for my truck. I currently have the 9" tail shaft so I won't have to make any drive shaft mods and because i'm running a stock Qjet carb, I "should" be able to hook up the TV cable easily.
Do you think it would be worth it from a milage standpoint?
I like the lower first gear for sure, that would be great with my 3.41 gears, but i'm concerned about lugging down the engine with the 4th gear OD and the lock-up converter. I know I can lock out the converter until I hit the freeways, but I selected my cam for optimum hp and torque at cruise speed, which is right at 2600-2700 rpm, although it pulls real good down to about 2000rpm.
If I have to "get into it" more to keep it going, I'll end up in the bottom step of the metering rods and kill any milage increase from the lower rpms. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Tina Hvidbjerg moved from Denmark to Israel about 16 years ago in order to be with her Jewish husband. After arriving in Israel, she converted to the Jewish religion. When the couple went through a divorce proceeding last year, Ms. Hvidbjerg was questioned about whether she followed Orthodox Jewish practices such as not driving or using electricity on the sabbath. When she admitted she had not, the local religious court ruled she and her children– who were born in Israel–were not Jewish and had never been. The ruling is part of the ongoing battle between religious right wing fundamentalists who seek to impose their medieval minded way of life on conservative and reform Jews and those who believe Judaism is an inclusive religion.
Decisions such as these make difficult the right of these ultra-traditionalists to condemn practices of fundamentalist Muslim clerics. If one brought together Jewish and Muslim traditionalists they soon would realize how much they shared in common.
If the definition of a Jew was one who did not use electricity on the Sabbath or drive or use the Internet or watch TV on Saturday, there would be a dramatic drop in the Jewish population of the world.

You may need nothing more than a flexplate. Fix that first and then go from there
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
I have a 307 that had been sitting for about 6 years.
Took me that long to get the rest of the car re-done.
Put the same ol crappy 307 back in the car----and fired it up.
No smoke--no noise--
Will drive it til it quits----or the oil leak that developed while sitting gets too bad.
Car made it's maiden voyage onto the public streets yesterday morning.
(now I gotta remove the dash and get a new speedometer---makes a terrible noise)
my heads
Here are the heads. the shop didnt have the flexplate so will get that in a day or so.
A friend of mine wants to do a blowback test. So waiting for him on that. Maybe this weekend if its not raining we get the fp and try to drop the motor back in.
Some rust on the heads, ill look for a good way to clean that off...
Numbers on the heads.
Passenger side:
Driver side:
Why is one GM 12 and the other 14? Why D 27 and one D 24?
I believe D is April. 70 is 1970. One was cast on the 24th the other on the 27th. Having a discrepancy of a few days is normal, not a big deal.
OK - you've got 70 307 heads (small valve, 69CC) on a 67 327 block. It'll work fine for just cruising around. If everything checks out, I would replace the flex plate and put it in the car. If you have problems after that, you could rebuild it and with a few improvements make a hot little 327 with the right heads and cam.
here's my 2 cents and it worth exactly what you paid for it.
If it was me, I'd run it and see!!
Since it's out of the car, I'd do a couple of things before putting it back it.
Compression test as a couple of people have already suggested. If the compression looks good, pull the pan, and check the bearings, pull one main and one rod and see what they look like.
If they look good, replace the front seal and rear main seal , clean the oil pump screen, make sure the timing chain looks OK and then stick the pan back on with new gaskets.
Put it back in the car, and drive it!!
My Vote is for this also!!
While the engine is out check all gaskets and fix all the oil leaks, and maybe replace the freeze plugs in back of the flex plate "If they show signs of rust"
Replace the flex plate front balancer,.................... and maybe look at replacing the transmission with a 700R4 and drive the car like you stole it. until there is a major breakdown. then you can rebuild or replace as the dollars dictate.
What is the condition of the rest of the car?
A good USED running 350 can be had for $500 or less, a 305 can be had for $300 or less. Either of these will be a fine replacement. There is no headaches of chasing down problems, its the cheapest option, and you will likely have MORE power. When buying a used one go with one that is fuel injected and is clean under the valve cover, best case scenario one that you can hear run (but that isn't always possible).
I would go the 350 route as it'll have more power and if you should ever sell the car is worth more than a 305. If you still want to add a little something extra I would get a chrome dress up kit, a clean aluminum intake, headers and an RV cam. That's what you'll see a lot of at car shows as its cheap and effective.
The flex plate was tightened down ...off center. not completely flat[fitted]on the crank. before the tightening down sequence began.therefore it just broke out at the shown point hth No other reason to me.
Yes, just check it out and run it. If it was running 5-6 years ago there is no reason it shouldn't run now. The rings could be stuck and give variable compression readings, but it will free up after a couple hundred miles of running. Make sure you drain the gas tank then pull and CLEAN it. Old gas leaves a residue which new gas (especially with ethanol in it) dissolves. The residue gets in the engine and gums up carbs/injectors and even valves. I've had it get into valve guides and cause the valves to stick open and bend pushrods. I've brought many old engines back to life after sitting for years -- you should have no real problems. Pull the fuel line and stick it in a gallon anti-freeze jug (or similar) with fuel in it for temporary running -- until you get the tank pulled and cleaned. Can't go far, but can run it enough to see what condition it's in and run around the block a few times.
The flexplate isn't a big mystery. I've ripped the center out of one on a little 195.6 Rambler six cylinder. Flexplates are a hardened steel, and get brittle with use and age. Cracks usually develop around the bolt holes first, either at the crank (most common, that's where most of the stress is) or where the converter bolts on. The bolts may have not been tightened properly causing excess stress, could have just been age, or the metal may not have been properly hardened.
Engine balance wouldn't affect the flexplate -- that would affect the crank bearings. A bad torque converter can put excessive stress on the flexplate though. A bad bearing in the converter can throw the converter out of balance enough to stress the flexplate, but the harmonic balancer or crank balance shouldn't.
Just went through the same thing
I shelled the 350 in my '37 Chevy Coupe about 4 weeks ago. The oil pump failed and the distibutor gear failed, don't know why, never seen it happen before. Anyhoo, I had a similar delemma. Rebuild or buy a crate 383 SBC. Called a buddy and he recommended a shop here in Jacksonville, FL. Called and they told me that they charged $70 to tear down my motor and tell me what it needed. I was happy to oblige as I could do it myself but am way too time short to do so. PLUS, when I bought the car, I was told the car had a 383 and I wanted to know whether it truly was. SUPRISE!!! I have a two bolt main 350. Good news was that it did have some good parts. Forged TRW pistons, Trick Flow twisted wedge heads(67cc) and decent rods. It had a Comp Magnum 292 H cam which was also damaged so I simply bought a new 292 Magnum(LOVE the sound and it works!) The motor was thouroughly cleaned, crank reground, new bearings and reassembled . They checked my heads and they were fine. Bill was $1,150 for parts and labor(I supplied the cam). I added a new Hurricane intake and should end up with a 420 HP 350. So for me, I am happy and I saved about $1800. It is not a four bolt, but it should hold up fine for occasional strip and weekend cruises. Putting it in this week.
Ok, I'm a bit late to the party but I have a couple of questions.
How is the engine mounted in the car? Does it still use the factory front mounts and a rear mount on the trans or did who ever put the 327 in it install side mounts on the engine? Also were all of the bell housing bolts in place and were they tight?
It's been common knowledge for a lot of years that a Tri 5 Chevy running a V8 with front mounts and an aluminum case transmission can flex at the Block/bellhousing connection enough to crack the trans case or cause problems with the flex plate. I've also seen a couple of cases where loose bellhousing bolts caused a broken flex plate or knocked out the front seal in the transmission.
I'd do as a couple of the guys suggested and put a new flex plate on it and pull the plugs and run a compression test. You can see if the engine has oil pressure at the same time by connecting a gauge to the engine where the oil pressure line or gauge hooks up. Using a oil pump primer as was suggested earlier would be a good idea though as it gets oil up in the lifters and into the bearings.
You don't need a fancy stand and can hang the engine from a chain hoist or cherry picker to run the compression test as all you are doing is cranking the engine over so that each cylinder hits four or five times on the gauge, checking the reading and writing it down and going to the next cylinder. I've even started a lot of engines sitting on the ground or hanging from a chain hoist.
This is a short video from when I fired up a 500 Cad that my friend gave me for my 71 GMC the engine had been sitting for several years.
I couldn't run it more than about 30 seconds but I did find out that it ran ok. No engine stand or other equipment but as I said I only ran it long enough to hear it run and determine that it didn't knock or blow clouds of smoke.
As far as the 327 goes, if it is in good shape I'd either run it as is or rebuild it and put some better heads on it. 1. it gives the car a lot higher Bubba Factor with a 327 than a crate motor these days as a lot of guys still think a 327 is the Holey Grail of small block Chevy engines. 2. you already have it and can go several ways on it. You could run it as is if it checks out. You could do a complete rebuild with new pistons, new cam bearing, better cam and better heads or you could do a rering and bearing job and run the pistons you have if the cylinder bores are good with little taper.
If the insides of the engine don't look good then you can think about a different engine and think crate motor or rebuilt.
That broken flex plate is almost identical to one that came apart on me in a '64 Impala with 283 I had just done a re-ring on. I was 19 at the time and didn't know to check the flex plate when I re-installed the engine, so I convinced myself the thing already had stress cracks and came apart during a rubber burning start. I replaced it and the harmonic balancer (somebody suggested it, so I did it) and had no more issues with it. I bought a parts truck with a 4-bolt 350 in it a few years ago, and again, the flex plate had shed its center part, sheared off the torque converter bolts and destroyed the transmission housing.
Flush and check the engine, to include dropping the pan and cleaning out the settlings that's bound to be in there as others has suggested. Maybe you are lucky and will still have a good engine.
rebuild or crate
Personally I would rebuild but first thing I would do is go to a local salvage yard and buy a used but running 350 or 305 check around for the cheapest price. Install it in your 55 and enjoy it while you rebuild the 327. This way you can take your time on the rebuild. Also if you buy a 350 with vortec heads you could put them and the intake on the 327 too.
Then when the 327 is done you simply put the 305/350 in craigslist and get the money back. There is always looking for V8 chevy engines.
Sorry to join in late. BSA Bob is right, it is a misalignment problem. I have seen this many times but it does not usually progress as far as this example. Either there was some dirt or burr on the crankshaft hub or flexplate preventing it from mounting properly. Or, more commonly, the transmission was not in alignment with the block. Think of tilting the transmission at an angle to the block and not having a U-joint, Something has to give! There could have been dirt or a burr on the engine/transmission mating surfaces. The locator dowels in the block may have had dirt, rust, or a burr which would keep the transmission from pulling in totally flush. Also, and this is not as uncommon as you would think, the alignment dowels on the back of the block and/or the alignment holes in the transmission mating surface are actually out of spec causing the mis-alignment. Check http://www.wilcap.com/ALP.PDF to see how to check alignment or google "transmission to engine alignment", "belhousing alignment" etc. I know they show manual transmissions but it gives you an idea of what to check for. Any speed shop can get offset dowel pins to correct mis-alignment and Harbour Freight has a cheap dial indicator and base that can also be used for many other things such as crankshaft end play, setting differential gears etc. Because the cracking, and in your case, the eventual total failure of the flexplate takes quite awhile to happen, the flexplate is after all "flexible", people have been known to just replace the flexplate and solve the problem. If it was just dirt and/or a burr from a previous sloppy installation and this was taken care of during the new installation, then the problem is indeed fixed. However, if there is actual engine/transmission misalignment and this is not corrected when the new flexplate is installed, then the new flexplate will also fail somewhere down the road. As a side note, any actually mis-alignment will also strain and or fail the front transmission bearing. In either case we are talking about a fair amount of time here, it won't happen over a couple of weeks or even months, depending on usage.
I would clean and check all mating surfaces and the alignment dowels and then just to be on the safe side check overall alignment. As far as the engine goes, you have lots of good advice already. Good luck.

That is one beautiful poster. Look at the careful design and placement of the apostrophes, like stray cuneiform. I appreciate the subject classification:
Gasoline pumps–United States–1930-1940.
And: happy birthday!
On the other hand, fuck it, why not, it's your birthday.
Dammit, they can flex-fuel the infernal combustion engine, why can't they flex-fuel the liver?
Hippo birdies, youngster. You are not quite a year younger than my son, who turns 40 in April.
Happy birthday!
I assume they mean dont drink and drive? Was there a lot of gas-drinking in the 1930s? Happy bday Loomis.
Happy birthday, young Erik!
Happy birthday, young whippersnapper.
This is confusing, because I don't think that many people really would drink gasoline and whiskey together. This isn't another one of those "metaphor" things, is it?
And wouldn't you love to see a WPA poster warning against mixing metaphors?
Many happy returns, young man.
What are your thoughts on mixing gasoline with nice bottle of pumpkin-infused vodka?
(Happy birthday!)
Only if you set the result on fire.
I think my dad did something like that to pass smog checks.
wow, you're awful young. Now I feel like I haven't done anything with my life, since you've been the recipient of a Wingnut Flying Monkey Attack already.
It's kind of mordantly hilarious that our modern eyes see that poster as being about drunk driving, when the reality was about, really, the need for government regulation of booze to avoid having it mixed with toxic additives.
Now if only we could even start talking about the damage adding those same toxic additives to our environment.
So any way, Happy Happy! Maybe zombies are not so good at this whole 'cheering up' thing. Oh well. you're all just going to be chewed up by my compatriots eventually, or joining us.
Now I feel like I haven't done anything with my life, since you've been the recipient of a Wingnut Flying Monkey Attack already.
Seriously. I'm 48…when do I get my moment of SKREEEEEEE, huh?
Anyway, happy birthday to a true voice crying out in the wilderness. What time does the Funky Get Down Juche Party start?
Many grating and inflammatory returns, young man!
And let this be a lesson to us all that making your own booze is the safest bet, as long as you're not caught making it.
That's absolutely right. I NEVER put gasoline in my whiskey.
Oh, it doesn't matter what you put in your whiskey; so long as you add nothing to whisky, bar a drop or two of water.
Bart Simpson: Oh, P-U, what where you drinking, gasoline?
Krusty the Clown: Yes, I was drinking gasoline, MOTHER!
There's kerosene around.
Something to do.
A different set of vices, there.
What are you planning to do for your midlife crisis? Buy a motorcycle and leather jacket like my dad?
Drop some more references to what's "hip" these days, maybe?
Happy Birthday! And stay away from the canned heat, too….
39 is a very good age to be. I liked it so much, that last year was my Eighth Annual 39th Birthday.
What a coincidence, it was mine too.
And a happy belated birthday Professor Loomis. I need to find some heads-on-sticks birthday candles to send you for your big 4-0 next year.
This is terrible news for John McCain.
Not a fan of the whole ethanol-in-fuel scheme then?

Ski area lights get closer look in Francestown
Union Leader Correspondent | September 27. 2013 12:15AM
Nighttime skiing, specifically Midnight Madness, has been part of the Crotched Mountain ski resort since it reopened in 2003. (COURTESY)
The ski resort is on track to open the first week of December for this winter season, but the debate over the illumination of the night sky continues. The board said it would reconvene Oct. 23 at 7:30 p.m. to review the findings from the independent consultant.
"If we don't have the lighting, we don't have Midnight Madness and if we don't have Midnight Madness, that's a problem cause it's a very important part of our mountain," Dupont-Roche said. "I just think they shouldn't be able to take away such a great activity from everyone."
Terry said Crotched Mountain follows national standards for ski areas for its lighting. Light reflects off the snow, so even shielding the lights would have little effect on the illumination of the night sky, and would make the slopes dangerous to skiers and snowboarders, Terry said.
"Midnight Madness is the identity of Crotched Mountain," he said.
"We went to the Planning Board with alternatives to try, but the members of the Planning Board recommended we go to the zoning board," Terry said.
Beatty criticized the light fixtures saying: "These are not well-designed lights." But he admitted he was basing his assessment on a brief look at the plans brought in by Crotched Mountain's lighting expert Vic Reno.
After the meeting, Laber who lives on Bennington Road/Route 47, said he moved to Francestown in 1978 to enjoy the dark skies.

The name stands for the TRIangle BElow CAnal. In the 1970s and '80s, artists yearning for space to sculpt, paint, and dance colonized the warehouses; Tribeca took shape in this cauldron of creativity. The confluence of imagination, spirit, space, and, most recently, disposable income has produced a neighborhood rich in upscale restaurants, shops, and galleries. The lofts have morphed into multimillion-dollar homes, making the local zip code, 10013, the city's most affluent. The locals, from Gwyneth Paltrow to Harvey Keitel, can be seen sauntering the swank streets.
Begin at the (1) Franklin Street subway stop. Walk north to (2) Ladder Company 8 (14 N. Moore St.), where portions of Ghostbusters was filmed. Head west, crossing Varick Street (which becomes Seventh Avenue above Houston).
Even fabric stores are fancy downtown, as evidenced by (3) Baranzelli Silk Surplus (32 N. Moore St.). (4) Cheryl Hazen Gallery (35 N. Moore St.) showcases mosaics and paintings, while (5) Steven Amedee (41 N. Moore St.) has an amalgam of frames and contemporary art. As you wander, look for posted pink paper signs—notices from the mayor's office announcing upcoming film shoots.
If you could use some home cooking, stop at (6) Bubby's (120 Hudson St.), where the mac and cheese is divine, and pies stretch to the sky.
(7) Issey Miyake's flagship store (119 Hudson St.) is adorned with metallic installations created by architect Frank Gehry; the clothes are structural wonders, too.
For foodie fans of all things Japanese, it's (8) Nobu (105 Hudson St.), though savvy locals flock to (9) Nobu Next Door (105 Hudson St). The little-sister eatery doesn't take reservations. You can, though, walk in and give your cell phone number—you'll get a call when your table is ready.
Another option: Head to Tribeca's first Japanese restaurant, (10) Zutto (77 Hudson St.), a favorite of John F. Kennedy, Jr., who lived close by. His photo is behind the bar.
(11) Puffy's Tavern (81 Hudson St.), a 1950s relic, retains the cozy feel of yore, while (12) Chanterelle (2 Harrison St.), home to culinary adventures, is all glam. Owner Karen Waltuck says, "Even if you don't have a reservation, come by: Plans change, we get cancellations—you might get in."
Wander west to wide-open (13) Hudson River Park, whose walking/biking path traces the island. (14) Duane Park (Duane and Hudson Sts.) was bought from Trinity Church in 1797 for five dollars. Exquisite shops (selling nothing for five dollars) ring the park. Chef David Bouley's (15) Danube (30 Hudson St.) is just east, as is (16) Bouley (120 W. Broadway); both require reservations. But (17) Bouley Bakery (130 W. Broadway) has café tables, the same stellar food, and takeout.
Original star hub (18) Odeon (145 W. Broadway) opened in 1980. Downtown denizens still fuel up on the fabulous fries, and opening credits for Saturday Night Live continue to be shot here.

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
a special holiday taken by parents-to-be before their first baby is born
'Getting in one last jaunt for two before baby makes three has become a hot trend among expecting couples. It's been called a babymoon.'ABC News 18th February 2006
'Babymooning seemed like a last chance for romance, to enjoy uninterrupted hours in art galleries, to linger over a foreign-brewed coffee, to see a movie, to finally read "A Tale of Two Cities".'globeandmail.com 13th August 2005
'… babymooners are looking for special gifts and tokens that will remind them of their trip.'Seattle Post Intelligencer 24th April 2006
You're a twosome about to become a threesome. Before the cycle of round-the-clock feeding and endless nappy changing begins, why not have a special holiday, your last chance to have a romantic, carefree, just-the-two-of-you vacation? There are so many expectant couples doing just this, that we now have a new term for it – the babymoon. Parents-to-be who love to travel, see a babymoon as the final opportunity to relax in far-flung locations before adjusting to the new reality of pushchairs, baby food and sleepless nights!
travel companies have seized on the babymoon concept as a marketing opportunity, putting together special packages for babymooners
In the past few years the babymoon has grown in popularity, partly because people are travelling further and more frequently, and also because it is now considered perfectly safe for pregnant women to fly up to their 36th week of pregnancy, providing there are no other complications. A very appealing prospect for mums-to-be, travel companies have seized on the babymoon concept as a marketing opportunity, putting together special packages for babymooners. These might include pamper sessions for the mother, special menus (anyone fancy pickles and ice cream?), cigars for Dad, and a babymoon suite with chocolates and … not champagne, but sparkling non-alcoholic cider. There are even special websites which have sprung up to meet the demand, like babymoonfinder.com.
The term babymoon is, of course, a blend of baby and honeymoon, a mid 16th-century compound word where honey referred to a marriage's 'sweetness' and moon to how long it would last, like the changing aspect of the moon. The expression babymoon was coined in the early 1990s by pregnancy and childbirth author Sheila Kitzinger, who described it as a calm, uninterrupted period of time needed by parents after the birth of a baby so that they could spend time bonding with their new arrival. However, Kitzinger's original meaning seems to have been eclipsed by the more recent 'last fling before the baby arrives' sense.
A related neologism is the term familymoon, which refers to a honeymoon where the bride and groom are accompanied by children from previous marriages or relationships.

WTG MJ!!!! I love the shirt! Including the Were-Muffin
I just don't get shirts like this....and I make cupcakes all the time!!
Hehe, I love the ghost! :P
What frosting was used to make the devil tail?
A Devil's Food but no Angel Food?
"greatest baller of the modern era (Magic Johnson)."
Wait... what? You guys have the wrong MJ here. I insist you change this.
mmm ghost muffins. I can make those :P
I wonder if the witch's brewberry melts if water gets thrown on it?
LOLs. I wonder how the Ghost cup taste.
Haha, nice MJ. Congrats on the print.
I sure hope that Were-muffin doesn't change after you eat it. Imagine all the fur being in your stomach. Eugh.
This shirt may have been cool had it not been for the hot dog one that printed less than two (one?) weeks ago
imsochady wrote:LOLs. I wonder how the Ghost cup taste.
Light and airy... no doubt about it.
Were-muffin isn't scary NOW but wait till the full moon, I assume.
I think muffins are better.
this is definitely one of those shirts that cause people to stop and stare...
That spider only has four legs...not very anatomically correct.
A fella named Jordan (and many others) might dispute your "greatest baller" nominee.
colinm09 wrote:That spider only has four legs...not very anatomically correct.
4 are in back where you can't see.
These will all give you indigestion...cept' grim caker, that'll just kill you.
So this reminded me of the muffins video from YouTube.
Very fitting that the first sucker was "CupcakeXO" Hahaha. Ha. Ha.
Cake-ula looks a little like Madonna.
wootvan wrote:A fella named Jordan (and many others) might dispute your "greatest baller" nominee.
I think you might be missing the joke. Or you're kidding and I'm missing your joke. Or something.
What a perfect sequel to Cupcakeasaurus! Not that it's the same artist, but c'mon. Nothing better for kids than a cupcake shirt!
Congrats MJ!!!
Guys... That's a joke. It's why they said Mick Jagger is the king of pop. Anyone? Cause Michael Jackson is the king of pop. And that one's cause obviously Michael Jordan is widely recognized as the best ball player of the last long while. Woot always makes jokes like that. How do you survive here?
I could never be this detailed with cupcakes. I'd become too impatient with hunger. They wouldn't make it past the base frosting phase.
jmmbell1987 wrote:Wait... what? You guys have the wrong MJ here. I insist you change this.
I thought Skee-Lo was the greatest balla of our times
..also, great cupcake ideas, for the next halloween party!
I am very disappointed there is no sexy nurse at this cupcake party...Total sausage fest in my opinion.
Speed to First Woot:
1m 25.447s
First Sucker:
Wow, that's fitting.
I'm inspired to recreate these as actual cupcakes. And then eat them, of course.
wootasourous wrote:Speed to First Woot:

First Sucker:
Wow, that's fitting.
RIGGED! It's rigged, I tell ya!
i wonder if the grim caker likes to play risk like in "bill & ted's bogus journey"?
AgainstClint wrote:These will all give you indigestion...cept' grim caker, that'll just kill you.
Hmmm... so that one must be made with a 'death by chocolate' cake mix...
elmosolo wrote:I am very disappointed there is no sexy nurse at this cupcake party...Total sausage fest in my opinion.
Except for the brewberry and widow's bite... those two can be real witches and suck the life out of the party though.
Besides, there are a couple there that could be female or male: clown cup, were-muffin, mmm-mmmy, and come on now... most men would make the comment that women are the real devils.
Costumed cupcake craving...the eating of.
Can someone explain the "were-muffin" to me? Then I might buy the shirt. I just don't get it. Yea, I know its supposed to be a cupcake and all, but "were-muffin"? Anyone...anyone...Bueller?
Hmmm....delicious cupcakes...decent colour T-shirt....it could very well be a deal.

Super Bowl props, MVP battle between Manning and Wilson
Super Bowl prop betting has become a huge part of the Super Bowl experience and the MVP trophy is one of the biggest post-game wagers to make.
Of course, most bettors can't help but have a wager on the coin toss and the national anthem over-under just to get started. And if that goes well (heads is on a five-game win streak), then why not wager on Bruno Mars at the halftime show.
But the men who will decide the outcome are also the top two betting choice for Super Bowl MVP.
PEYTON MANNING - There's a very good reason the 37-year-old quarterback could haul in his fifth NFL MVP trophy the night before the big game, as he threw for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, while leading Denver's offense to a league-leading 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game.
Manning arrives for his third Super Bowl appearance where he is the Super Bowl MVP odds favorite, after throwing for 400 yards and two touchdowns in a 26-16 victory over the New England Patriots.
While he averaged throwing for 342.3 yards and 3.4 TDs per game in the regular season, his playoff average was 315 yards and 2.0 TDs in two games.
RUSSELL WILSON - Twelve years younger than Manning, the Seattle signal-caller is sure to draw interesting lines with not only his passing numbers, but also the rushing prop oddsmakers put on his legs.
Along with his 3,357 yards and 26 TDs in the regular season, the 5-foot-11, 206-pound speedster rushed for 539 yards, averaging 5.6 yards per carry.
He is the second betting choice on the MVP odds menu at Bovada.lv.
The strategy with the Seahawks' offense changed dramatically, in terms of Wilson's rushing, as he rushed for just 16 yards in the playoffs, on just eight carries. In the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers, he gained 0 yards on five carries.

Since TSA's inception, we've worked to educate passengers about traveling with wrapped presents. This is nothing new. Wrapped gifts are screened just like any other item. We can see through the paper just like we can see through luggage, but just as we have to open a bag when it requires a search due to an anomaly or an alarm, we have to open wrapped items as well if they alarm or require additional screening.
We want your gift to arrive wrapped just as much as you do. Just know the possibility is there that if the item alarms, we might have to open it to resolve the alarm. We don't enjoy unwrapping presents that aren't for us, but if an anomaly is detected inside, we'll have to unwrap it in order to determine what it is so we can clear it for travel.
This tweet stuck out earlier. It's about a person who had to have their present unwrapped. It was a box of knives!

Green Bay's 2013 Home Opener Spoiled by Marquette
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Playing in front of a raucous home crowd, the Green Bay volleyball team (4-5) welcomed in-state rival Marquette (5-3) to the Kress Center on Tuesday night for its 2013 home opener and its first home match under new head coach Michaela Franklin. Despite the support of the third-largest volleyball crowd (834) in the building's history, the Phoenix fell to the Golden Eagles 3-0 (25-19, 25-12, 25-21).
"Marquette is a great team," said Franklin, who was an assistant at Marquette the last four seasons before joining the Phoenix. "They didn't make a lot of errors and we made a lot of errors. It was a good match for us to open up with at home and a good challenge for us. We continue to tell our team that we schedule challenges like this in the preseason to help us prepare for league play."
The attendance of 834 spectators on Tuesday night ranks behind only a Sept. 16, 2009 meeting with Wisconsin (1,946) and the first match in Kress Center history against Milwaukee (1,027) on Nov. 2, 2007.
"I was really impressed with the crowd we had and the energy we had from our crowd," said Franklin. "The Green Bandana Brigade (student section) was awesome. It was exciting to have them and I hope that we'll have them at all of our home matches."
Green Bay used the home-court advantage to get off to a strong start in the opening set. The Phoenix led 10-8 after a kill by Shannon Hurley (Connellsville, Penn.) and an ace by Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.), but the Golden Eagles took eight of the next 10 points to move ahead 16-12. The Phoenix was able to cut it to three (20-17) late on a Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) kill, but Marquette scored five of the next seven points to earn the 1-0 lead.
Set number two was all Golden Eagles, as the visitors rushed out to a 10-4 lead and finished with a 13-4 run to win 25-12 and move ahead 2-0 in the match. Sophomore Mikaela Gunderson (Casco, Wis.) was a bright spot for the Phoenix in the second, recording five of her team-high 10 kills.
Marquette started fast again in the third, forcing a Green Bay timeout at 11-4. The Phoenix bounced back after the break, cutting it to four (12-8) after a kill by Riese, but the Golden Eagles responded and pushed their lead back to seven (18-11). A 10-5 stretch for the Phoenix had the home team down just two at 23-21, but Marquette claimed the next two points to finish off the sweep.
Gunderson hit .391 and recorded her fourth double-digit kill total of the season. Freshman Autumn Bailey led the Golden Eagles with a match-high 11 kills on a .611 hitting percentage. Marquette out-hit Green Bay .382 to .124 on the night.
The Phoenix returns to tournament action this weekend at the Butler Classic in Indianapolis. Green Bay will play host Butler on Friday at 10 a.m. before taking on Toledo (10 a.m.) and UT-Martin (1 p.m.) on Saturday.
Tuesday's match between the Phoenix and the Golden Eagles will be aired on a tape-delayed basis on Time Warner Cable Sports Channel. The broadcast will first air at 7 p.m. on Wednesday night. To see the full replay schedule, click here.

I got in some items the other day so I threw on some of my Jango I am working on and snapped a quick pic. I just literally threw the stuff on so it was sloppy. However, I noticed that the armor appears a bit big for me in the chest. I am 5-10 and about 185 so I am a fairly average guy. It suprised me when I looked at the pic to see how little room there was on the chest armor.
The armor is wickedbeard that I got from a fellow TDH member in the cargo hold.
My question is how tricky is it to cut down armor? OR
Do you think that I can space this out enough to make it work without cutting? OR
Do I need to look at upgrading and selling this to a larger guy?
I am going to replace the vest so moving the armor would not be a problem if there is room to do so.

"We used the flat photo card to memorialize our beautiful golden retriever. We ordered the matte version, and his photo on the front of the card was just stunning. On the back, we wrote a little poem about him. The tinyprints staff was able to center the text perfectly for us. The card stock was definitely quality. We were so pleased with the finished product and received many compliments on it. We have already used tinyprints again."
"This design was perfect, I just wanted the picture featured on front, and the holiday message on the back. Tiny prints is amazing: customer service, shipping time, product quality, paper, everything!"
"I am impressed with the customer service reps at Tiny Prints. I am also impressed with the timeliness of response by the editor. The turn around time or time to print and ship was same day. The quality of the semi gloss card stock used for these is perfect. The photo quality of the prints was excellent. I order photo graduation cards and everyone that saw these commented on how great they look and wanted to know where they came from."
"Paper quality is wonderful. Card stock is thick and the semi gloss finish isn't too glossy, rather it's a nice satin, which doesn't attract fingerprints like traditional glossy papers. I selected a simple design, Favorite Memory, with no text on the front. Photo was beautifully highlighted. Rounded corners add nice touch. Had questions re: printing, and customer service was beyond impeccable. Nothing but high quality with this company. They are top notch and stand by their product...right up to the top guy. Will continue to use for myself and clients."

The park was built by world renowned Team Pain who specializes in custom concrete skate park facilities. Team Pain has over 30 years experience with professional riders and they are known for their challenging "first-ever" structures that push the limits. The company has been providing design and construction experience to municipalities around the globe in concrete park facilities since 1997.
The park was designed with the input from local skaters who attended a series of workshops during the planning phase of the park. A number of skaters and City of Lakeland staff also visited a number of skate parks in the Central Florida area to look at designs and get direct feedback from skaters on what elements they liked about certain parks.
The park features a deep bowl, flow course, snake run and a freestyle/street course. For more information, contact Pam Page, 863/834-6088 or Kevin Cook, 863/834-6264. See you on Saturday!
