|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Techs combo sounds amazingly well matched,work with that. Or what I would do for myself is go one size bigger
While the thumper cam is a bit big for those heads it'll run just fine. The compression is what worries me, even on 93 octane that compression with those heads will be hard to pull off. I hope you have a lot of gear and a light car.
Dropping the compression down to 9.5:1 would be ideal if you plan on running 87 octane.
|Thanks for all the replies guys, y'all have all given me alot to think about. Why would you call the flats and double humps a mistake? Is it cause of the compression or another reason? After further reviews and comments iv decided to ditch the thumpr. Ya it sounds good but o well. I don't want regret it later. Iv always liked the luniti voodoo cams. I'm currently running one in an engine I have now and love it. It's the smallest one P/N 60101. Iv heard alot of good things about the 60102 and 60103 cams. I may try one of these instead. What do you think?
thoughts/help/insults on my engine combo??
I hope you won't make the mistake of using flat top pistons with the 64cc double hump heads. My advice would be to use a set like these. Keith Black KB193-030 Hypereutectic Dish Pistons 4.030 Bore | CNC Motorsports | Car Parts | Truck Parts | Competition Engines. A Fel-Pro Q1094 head gasket. I am not a fan of thumpr cams (all show no go). I would suggest Comp Cams XE274H-10. Also another good cam would be a Howards 112581-10. With these pistons, head gasket, double hump heads, and the XE274H cam you will have a static compression ratio of 9.674 and a DCR of 8.176 which is excellent for pump gas. Also your quench will be .040 which is recommended. I would guess this setup would produce about 380 hp depends on how well the heads were ported. If you choose to use flat top pistons your compression would be 10.381. You would have to retard the timing to use pump gas which does nothing but reduce power.
Use these pistons....
Speed-Pro Digital Diamond Profile (DDP) Hypereutectic Pistons ZWH345ACP30 - SummitRacing.com
With these heads....
Summit Racing® Cast Iron Cylinder Heads for Small Chevy SUM-152123 - SummitRacing.com
These heads will have springs installed to accomodate the lift of the Thumpr cam. In the long run, they'll be cheaper and work better than those fosdick production heads.
This cam...

Intake valve closes at 35.5 degrees ABDC @0.050" tappet lift.
This intake manifold...

This carburetor...

Align-bore or align-hone the main bearing bores to insure that all main bearings are round and parallel. Cut the block decks to square and for zero deck. Bore and hone the cylinders with a torque plate bolted to the block.
Use long-tube headers, 1 5/8" primaries, X or H tube before the mufflers.
Use 4" x 14" air cleaner assembly
This will make a 9.5:1 static compression ratio motor that generates a 8.35:1 dynamic compression ratio that will operate on pump gas. Use 16 degrees initial spark lead at the crank. Re-curve the dizzy for another 18 degrees of lead in the weights, all in by 2800.
Use a remanufactured harmonic damper from these guys...

how the engine sounds does not represent the power it makes. I always choose a solid cam over a hydraulic cam.If you like the sound of the thumper then get a hydraulic cam.
the old 2.02 heads are ok,maybe put a decent intake and a 750 4 bbl, for power. Good headers and big exhaust. Balance the engine
|thanks comp. the 4 relief are cheaper and i still found a few thats 5 and 6 cc... 4 valve it is, how streetable do you think this motor would be if i went with the .015 gasket running 10.38 comp? and what kind of numbers do you think i could put out?
thoughts/help/insults on my engine combo??
hey guys, funds are tight now so its a no go on the 383, but this is what im thinking instead, im open to all opinion/insults/help/thoughts.... whatever. just tell me what yall think, if im figuring this right, and how you think it might run.
350 block +.030
flat top 2 valve relief +5.00 cc pistons
double hump 2.02/1.60 valve 64cc heads (port, polish, double spring,... the works)
im leaning towards the comp thumpr cam,279/297 .... 227/241 @.050.....479/.469 lift.
the only reason im leaning towards this cam is because iv heard them before and they do sound pretty good... but have no idea on the streetability of it. maybe a few thoughts on some other cams a little more streetable but still achieve a slight choppy idle, something that idles at normal RPM, but noticeable chop. the only thing i have to buy for this combo is pistons and cam, so its cheap... which is what i like. double check my math here but im getting
4.030 bore
3.480 stroke
64CC head
+5.00 CC piston
.025 deck clearance
.040 head gasket compression height
im getting 9.79 compression.
if i was to chose a thin .015 head gasket im coming up with 10.38. issues with this is iv never used a thin gasket before and have no idea on the reliability of a thinner one, and is 10.38 too much for 87 fuel, or would i pull it off with the right cam?? start sending some thoughts this way, thanks

text: I suspect that Mervin is very tied to his Canadian citizenship, since he was born here, has always lived and trained here, and has a serious girlfriend in Montreal. He might, though, be willing to give it up temporarily, since he could probably get it back fairly easily. Narumi has lived and trained in Canada for quite a few years, so she has had residency for a long time. Her application for Canadian citizenship could probably be expedited. As I understand it, the problem is that if she gave up her Japanese citizenship (as Japan would require her to do, since they do not permit dual citizenship), it would be very hard to get back. She may not be willing to do that.

Arsène Wenger is convinced that Cesc Fabregas still "deeply loves" Arsenal Football Club.
The captain's proposed move to Barcelona has been the transfer saga of the summer but Arsenal made their intentions clear from the outset: Fabregas is not for sale.
The 23-year-old laid the rumours to rest when he confirmed he would be staying in a statement released last Friday. And despite a lack of pre-season preparation, Fabregas could lead Arsenal out for their Premier League opener at Anfield on Sunday.
Wenger has yet to finalise his line-up but he has seen enough since Fabregas' return to training to suggest that the captain has not lost his affection for the team he joined in September 2003.
"Cesc has been very good and, despite all of the stories, his love for the Club was never under threat," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference.
"You could understand he was torn between Barcelona and staying here, but he really deeply loves the Club and I could prove that to you. His attitude has been completely spot-on."
Wenger was in regular contact with Fabregas during the summer as those transfer rumours reached fever pitch. So did he ever feel that he was poised to lose his captain?
"I wouldn't like to come out with my feelings," replied Wenger.
"I tried very hard to show him how much I want him to stay.
"Of course you never completely know the outcome but my resolution and determination was always very strong to keep him and it was never a question of money."

I am curious why the snood changes shape, can anyone enlighten me here?
The changes in his snood are caused by...you guessed it...the same things that causes changes in guys when they feel froggy. The increased blood flow to the area causes the object to become engorged and change colors with the rush of blood under the skin. This flushing is a signal that the bird is feeling aggressive or.....er, "romantic". :roll:

On Kentucky Tonight Monday, two lawmakers and advocates for and against raising the compulsory school attendance age in the state from 16 to 18 met to discuss the issue.
This is one priority that Governor Steve Beshear says is at the top of his list for the 2013 session of the General Assembly, which begins next week.
Advocates for raising the age to 18 were Rep. Carl Rollins, chair of the House Education Committee and Stu Silberman, executive director of the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence. They list a litany of reasons why Kentucky needs to join about 20 other states who have raised the drop out age to 18: social implications, drop outs are more likely to receive public assistance than high school graduates, and a study which reports that 82 % of American prisoners are high school drop outs.
Opponents of the measure, like Sen. Mike Wilson, chair of the Senate Education Committee and Richard Innes, education analyst for the Bluegrass Institute for Public Policy Solutions, report raising the age might be costly to the school districts. They also point out that evidence is not conclusive that raising the age to 18 is the way to address a multifaceted and complex school dilemma.
All of the panelists did agree the Kentucky school system has to do something to keep more kids in school; we're losing approximately 6,000 to 7,000 kids a year by dropping out.
Innes did some additional homework on a couple of points that were brought up on the show.
His comments can be seen on his blog.
You can watch the entire hour discussion, including a number of good phone calls and Web form messages.
Monday night, Feb. 4, our topic on "Kentucky Tonight" will be hemp. Should the state have a law which legalizes the production of industrialized hemp?
Join us at 8/7 C for that discussion.

Hotel rejection streak over for the Lohan ladies
(TMZ) - Lindsay Lohan's hotel rejection streak is OVER, because she and her mother Dina were finally able to score a room at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story that LiLo and DiLo were turned away from TWO famous hotels in Santa Monica after they arrived in L.A. for Lindsay's court hearing.
But, according to TMZ, the search continued, and the Lohan ladies were finally able to find a suite in the Hills of Beverly at the same hotel where Howard Hughes lived on and off for 30 years.
In fact, the BHH has hosted some of the most famous people in the world, including John Wayne, The Beatles, and even Liz Taylor.

Council of Europe Anti-Racism Commission to prepare report on Liechtenstein
Strasbourg, 23.02.2012 - A delegation of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) visited Liechtenstein from 13 to 15 February 2012 as the first step in the preparation of a monitoring report. During its visit, ECRI´s delegation gathered information on the implementation of the recommendations it made to the authorities in its previous report of 2008 and discussed new issues that had emerged since.
The delegation held meetings in Vaduz with representatives of all relevant ministries, other competent authorities, human-rights NGOs and vulnerable groups.
Following this visit, ECRI will adopt a report to be published in 2013 in which it will make a fresh set of recommendations on measures to be taken by the authorities to address racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance in the country. Among these, three will be revisited two years after the publication of the report as part of an interim follow-up procedure.
In its 2008 report, ECRI expressed concern about: certain aspects of the integration policy; the lack of independence and the limited powers of the Equal Opportunities Office; and the absence of a comprehensive civil and administrative legal framework prohibiting racial discrimination in all fields of life.
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

The original Big Buck Hunter Pro game for Windows Phone had the misfortune of launching right before Windows Phone 8 last year. It ran a bit poorly on early Windows Phone 7 devices, so many of us looked forward to improved performance on Windows Phone 8. Unfortunately, the game proved incompatible with the new mobile OS and remains that way almost a year later.
On the brighter side, developer Merge Interactive and Microsoft released a Windows 8 and RT version entitled Big Buck Hunter Pro Adventure earlier this year. On top of an awkwardly long name, Adventure brings all the fun of the Windows Phone and original arcade game, a bounty of extra content, and a new helping of Xbox Achievements.

"I just ordered this card for my daughters first communion- I was not too happy with the official thank you cards so I just used the template and made this a keepsake thank you note for our family/friends. The card ended up looking really nice. Tiny Prints came through once again!"
"Perfect invite from paper quality to printing. Photo image looks great as does the text and font color. Recommended fonts are legible and elegant. Have received many compliments on these invites. Would definitely recommend. PS - rounded edges are a nice touch!"
"These cards are perfect! What you design on your screen is exactly what you get. I selected matte instead of glossy after chatting with the customer service rep. Whenever you have a ? while ordering just click on live chat. The paper is thick and expensive looking. I love the rounded corner detail too. They even came 3 days sooner than expected."
"I am very pleased with these products. It was my first time using Tiny Prints and I will be a return customer. I've ordered many invitations before and I loved the ease, professionalism, and individualism I received from Tiny Prints. The quality of the picture came out as though the picture was taken straight out of the memory card. I couldn't find an appropriate picture already downloaded nor did I have time to take a new picture for the image on the invitations. What I ended up doing was taking a picture of a picture. I obviously took a gamble but there was no evidence of it. The picture looked awesome and so clear. I am so glad I chose this company."
"The final card came out absolutely perfect. It will be a special momento for my daughter's memory book. The speed of the shipment was a pleasant surprise. I would recommend this card and Tiny Prints."

Prices range from $400-$600 depending if it comes with night sights, custom connnectors and trigger springs.
3rd generation is what current newer models are being sold.
Good luck and take pictures!
Hey all,
I may end up buying a G19 here soon, so I would like some pointers on what to look for as far as Price and Generation, etc.
Prices range from $400-$600 depending if it comes with night sights, custom connnectors and trigger springs.
3rd generation is what current newer models are being sold.
Good luck and take pictures!
can't go wrong with a glock 19
Shot my frist Glock about two weeks ago and it was a 19. I was looking at them at the gun show this past weekend and they were selling between $470 and $530. Think I'll pick up one later in the year. Get it I think you will like it.
FWIW hate the 3rd gen finger grooves as they force your fingers to spread on an already blocky grip when serrations and texturing already good enough for good contact (subcompacts grooves work better where you can only fit 2 fingers on grip)
Get 2nd gen.
And then replace the stock plastic sights.
My G19 was the last Glock I purchased. Locally they sell for $459 new with two hi-cap mags. That's with the stock plastic sights. I can't believe I waited so long to try the compact model. I've been missing out all these years. It's now my favorite carry piece over my G27.
^Ram Rod, that's a great price.
I just got one last week. Paid over $500. Put 200 rounds through it since. Like it a lot. Glock: Simlpe but effective.
Well, I haven't found any better. That goes for all the basic model pistols-before tax of course. I think they want $508 for factory night sights. Their ordered pistols come in in two days. They're kind of arrogant at the shop, but they don't mess around. Apparently they have good connections.Ram Rod, that's a great price
So now I am torn. Before I even posted, I ordered a Kahr P9 with night sites and its on its way. I like the p9 but mainly bought it for FL climate, but now I am moving to KY (still really hot summers) in a week.
I am seriously considering returning the P9 to get the G19 (which seem very hard to find), but I will have to wait for 90days to purchase a handgun in KY which will be around the dead heat of August.
Damn this sucks. I know itll be another 6 months at least before I'll afford another handgun.
Put your Glock bias asside if possible.. whatcha think?
You can not beat a G19. It really is the best all around carry gun. Not to big, not to small. Light to carry and proven to go through hell and out the other side with no problem.
My G19.
3.5 lb trigger bar
G17 smooth trigger
NP3 coated
Glock plug
and as of today. TFO night sights
What does the P9 go for new? What would you guess the value would be on it if you sold it used? You may start carrying it and like it alot, and if it works well for you--end up keeping it. On the other hand, if the order hasn't been placed, or the pistol hasn't shipped-you could change your mind. Glock holsters and accessories are easily found compared to other brand pistols for sure. If your order has shipped and you want to change your mind, they will probably charge you some sort of fee for re-stocking or something. You are better off determining your position than anyone here. Ask yourself, listen to the answer, take any guidance that makes sense, and you'll know soon enough. I'm not biased in any way toward Glocks, I have one SIG, and looking to get a Taurus PT1911 soon.
I got the P9 with NS for a "steal" at $650. I had one before, but sold it due to no other reason to fund something else which I regretted.
Im thinking Ill just keep it and save my pennies for the G19 in the winter (maybe a Bday present to myself.)
Well fellers, I guess I wont be owning a Glock anytime soon. Went to a shop today and held one. Grip fits perfect, even in the premade grooves. Problem is I have too fat of palms.. the web ripples over the "beavertail" and appear that the slide will eat into my hand on the right side (the slide left some oil off the rail on the webof my hand.) It has to be the most balanced pistol on the market tho due to its size. I am really depressed now. Guess I need to look at something else. I guess Sigs are bout the second best as far as hell-and-back reliability?

Maybe you could add a slip on grip sleeve to the Glock? Nice thing about plastic is you can modify the grip over a weekend with a Dremel tool. My grip comes close to what you're talking about and you're supposed to hold high on the semi-autos anyway. I have a SIG P220 full size and it's SAO. I cannot find aftermarket rubber/finger groove grips for it and had to go with a grip sleeve. I always thought SIG was most prefered over Glock? The best thing for you is what's best for you so long as it works for you and is reliable and dependable. A brand name won't save your ass, you and your pistol will. You and the tool become one.

This will be my last post on this because you are right we could argue for ever.
A shop will make more money off a good experienced tech any day of the week. The only place he wouldn't would be in a quick lube lane...
Good find on the mustang rotor, Most of the problems that get overlooked is just that, overlooked. Yes they are some shops out there that just cant fix a car, it is a shame. but it wont take long for that shop or that auto tech to get a bad name and go away.
So I will end MY side of this conversation with this.
I am a ASE Certified tech and very proud of it, I take much pride in the fact that I can repair just about any car that comes in my doors. As in any industries out there, they are a few bad apples, but that doesn't mean all the apples are bad
[QUOTE=67 Deuce 4 Me]As a auto technician I totally agree.
As far as ASE goes my own personal thoughts are is that being ASE certified means your able to study a book and pass a test and thats it. I think its a money racket. IMHO. Ed Cannon........ ASE Master tech.[/QUOTE]
Thanks ED.
Cool stated some important logic, too.
Steve/ I DID NOT SAY that ALL ASE mechanics are incompetant and thieves. So why do you guys take it personally?
I said in # 5..... quote
"We have created a society of parts replacers. ASE techs are taught to read gauges and swap parts. Very little dianostic understanding is necessary. Ethics and honesty are long gone from most shops. Ancient techniques such as carburetors are dying with the old timers who have gone into seclusion........Finding ethical and knowledgeable technicians is a trick in itself. Look for an old guy under a backyard garage roof." end- quote
Generally, shops would rather hire a kid with the piece of paper than someone who can actually do the work because the kid will work for half the money and install tons of stuff in his quest for a repair = more money for the shop.
Let me ask you. Have you, STEVE, and do you know several other people who have taken their vehicles into ASE shops for repair and $ 800 later it still isn't fixed and the shop still wants their money as they tell you to take it somewhere else?
You can take it personally and argue forever, but that won't make it untrue.
Yesterday on another thread I commented about a 93 Mustang GT that had a old style short rotor inside the big distributor cap (1/2+ inch spark gap). Seven shops including Ford could not find his miss. I did, in less than 3 minutes. And yes, I kind of enjoy people seeking me out under my shade tree to fix the stuff the shops cannot.
That is the beauty of this website. Learning from all the mistakes of others makes your mind open to possibilites when a situation is encountered.
Improvise, adapt, overcome. Semper Fi.
|Goldbird go to edelbrocks web site and down load the tune procedure for your carb.. order a jet kit for 49.95 and tune away. the procedure is simple and only takes a screw driver and a stopwatch....or it can be done at the strip. A lot less than $250 for a dyno and a lot more fun. If you want to get real serious spend 100 bucksor so and install a wideband O2 sensor and fuel to air meter.... (stoich)
|A service person in todays shop must be able to deal with problems in hundreds of different cars and trucks. We, as auto hobbyists have only a few or one car to deal with. You can learn everything about that car and be more knowledgeable than anyone. With the Internet any problem youve had has happened to others. Theres just no reason to learn carbs as a business unless you try and make it a specialty service shop. The guy with an old stocker is not going to pay for 4 or so hours at $50 t0 $100 an hour to rebuild his carb when the car is worth $500. The real problem happens when a Technician with a big ego will not admit that he has little knowledge in a particular area.
|67 Deuce 4 Me
As a auto technician I totally agree. I worked at the dealership for years and currently at an independent shop. I challenge ANYONE that just does hot rods and race cars as a hobby to take a shot at making a good living working on modern cars. Theres no comparison. You would most likely screw up 3 or 4 cars and get canned. Im not trying to step on toes here Im just stating a fact. I will admit there are some new guys and dummies out there working in shops and dealerships. Ive worked with a few. As far as ASE goes my own personal thoughts are is that being ASE certified means your able to study a book and pass a test and thats it. I think its a money racket. IMHO. Ed Cannon........ ASE Master tech.

When you throw as much dung as xntrik did in post #5 , some is going to stick to some one, and that some one was me. I try very hard not to say offensive things on this board, but when xntrik stated what he did I could not keep quiet. Anybody that is so blatant as he was in calling an ASE certified technician a parts changer with very little diagnostic understanding, well that just shows his lack of understanding on what it takes to repair these cars.
|After reading post #5 I knew it wouldn't take long for the dung to hit the fan.
|1931 steve
I would love to have the simplicity of yesteryear cars today.
Are you an ASE certified tech? If not why are you pointing fingers. I just happen to be one and I take much pride in my work and I would just love to see one of those "old guy under a backyard garage roof" diagnose a new car with a no code driveability problem.
As soon as someone known nothing or not much about something that someone else does, they call that person a RIP OFF.... Why????
I would love to say more about what you have said, But Jon would not like what I would say to you. YOU and people like you are the reason that auto repair and auto techs have such a bad name. You spread ignorance and hate for others.
|cool rockin daddy
|Not quite sure what the beef is. You obviously went to a dyno shop that monitors the dyno runs but expects you to do the tuning! You didn't break any speeding laws, you're not going to ruin your engine with 5,000 rpm "blasts", and you were able to get hands on experience and gain 40 horses! You could have went to the shop, dropped your car off, told them your expectations, and demanded dyno sheets as proof of what they did. That would have cost more money, I'll bet!
What kind of changes did you make to the carb at the dyno?
What kind of heads, valve size, and springs?
How much total ignition timing.
How much initial ignition timing.
What is the engine compression ratio?
241 rwhp at what rpm?
Tuning for peak power is much easier than tuning for good drive-ability and mpg.
That "RPM" cam may need a little more stall.
|Duh-fuse maybe, most likely electrical-not all techs are parts monkeys.
|I want to mention that I have actually driven 600 miles one way to have a specific shop work on my car because I knew that they would do it right.
welcome to reality.
We have created a society of parts replacers. ASE techs are taught to read gauges and swap parts. Very little dianostic understanding is necessary. Ethics and honesty are long gone from most shops. Ancient techniques such as carburetors are dying with the old timers who have gone into seclusion. Think not? How many rodders on this site put a carb "right-out-of-box" on an engine, it doesn't run right, so it is the carb manufacturer's fault?
Finding ethical and knowledgeable technicians is a trick in itself. Look for an old guy under a backyard garage roof.
example. I have a friend with a 98 Chevy conversion van and two completely separate A/C systems, two compressors. Both AC quit at the same time.
The new car dealership that sold it and two other shops say that it will cost $ 2000+ to repair the AC systems, maybe more if they find more bad parts.
Question is....... Why did both AC systems quit at the same time as the DVD, radio, and TV?????
The techs cannot be THAT stupid, can they?
Can you spell RIP OFF?
there is more to learn from a dyno then just hp.if under standing right you were on a chassis dyno,if i was you i would take the time and money and put it on an engine dyno before it ever went in my car.dyno's tell you alot more than people think and you can find problems before they become a major issue.
just my thought.

I am using T400 laptop, recently a month back I had a problem with battery charging, which when contacted lenovo support they asked me to perform the battery re-set, which I did and now my battery is charing well, but now the problem is battery indicator light beside the wireless, caps-lock indicator is blinking orange even thought my battery is well charged and when cursor is placed on the power manager it is showing battery remaining status which is fine, but along with that it is also showing Battery 2: Error detected. And when opened power manager, even there I am seeing Main battery condition as good and second battery condition as error.
Can anyone please let me know why would this error come and how to resolve it? By any chance would T400 will have 2 batteries?
Please let me know if you need any thing else.

Yes, it can have two, UltraBay battery is "Battery 2", and it's installed in place of optical drive. Try resetting your UltraBay battery through Power Manager.

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
They said they are supposed to get my transmission parts today and can install today, but they still need to investigate why my engine shutdown happened. He said they can check the car's computer. He did say, however, that my there is a difference between stalling out and shutting down, and that my engine did not stall, it actually shut off. I described to him my shutdown scenario over the phone and he said that: it is in fact normal operation, for any vehicle, to be able to turn the engine off (the key to off position but still in ignition) while driving at speed. However, he said that it is impossible for the ignition to move to the off position all by itself, that it had to be bumped or something. I explained to him that I did not bump my key. My knees do not touch the steering coloum.
So that's the story... mysterious and wacky engine shutdown. Technician said what I described happening is impossible but we'll see what they find in their investigation...
I know we've been in touch over PM, but I want to make sure you mention your shut off concern to your customer service manager (CSM) as well. They'll work with your dealership to ensure this gets addressed, too.
My car is in the dealer shop for transmission issues that started a few weeks ago.
I only yesterday mentioned to them that I had an engine shutdown, because the first dealership I took the car to (purchasing dealer) told me it was normal function to be able to turn the car off while driving. Then yesterday when I was doing research online about 12'-13' problems I found a couple cases on lemonblog website stating they had engine shutdowns. So then the lightbulb came on in my head... the dealership (I filed a complaint on them) dismissed my claim by saying it was normal and I must have bumped the key. I don't know much about cars, but I'm pretty sure they aren't supposed to be able to turn off while driving, and i'm 100% sure I didn't bump the key or do anything else to turn it off.
Anyways, I'm waiting on my parts (clutches and seals) for my new clutch system, but since I only reported the engine shutdown to my new dealership yesterday, I've yet to hear from them what might be the problem and the related fix.
Will keep updated.
|bump. anyone else able to turn key/engine off while driving around 25 mph and then restard while still in D? Thanks.
I have good news and I have bad news:
Good news: the tech at the Ford dealership said it's normal operation to be able to turn off the car while in drive. The reason it turned back on when I turned the key is because it's a DCT. An automatic would not have allowed it to turn back on while driving.
Bad news: the reason why my engine shut off while driving is still a complete mystery. the tech never heard of it happening before. he said not to worry about it and if it happens again let them know.
Fortunately the brakes and steering work (electronics) even when the car engine is off but in motion. Otherwise it would be a 3000 lb piece of flying metal.
Does anyone have any issues with this? Personally I'm still wondering why there needs to be a function to turn off the car and turn on the car while already driving. I suppose it might be useful in an emergency but then you can just put in in Neutral too.
I drove to Richmond this weekend and my minumum speed was 70. I had fun several times as well. My avg MPG until I got there was 34 (including a couple of city miles).
So I'm taking my car into the dealership today so they can fix the defect with the key/car turning off. I also asked that they change my oil/filter. It should be done tomorrow night. Let's hope my car isn't a lemon!
Oh heck, what can I say - Mileage question sounds like a good excuse for a "Road Trip" !!!
My Totally Different Focus gets about 29 & change around town when I drive for economy, just WON'T get that magic 30! But 25 is common when I have more fun with it....
It SHOCKED me on it's first long road trip (to FocusFest) when I got high 30's (like 38) on the way there driving conservatively (67-70 depending on speed limit). Quicker driving & more fun drops this of course....
Brand New vehicles often have at least ONE "glitch" to be fixed, especially if it's a new design. then you get that "honeymoon" period between "broken in" & the time when you need to start replacing "wear items"... At that point, if it gets good service (maintenance) and the wear items are taken care of in a timely manner, you'll get YEARS of good service with minimal hassles....
For example, I've got this 18 year old P/U (Chev. S-10), that had a rear universal replaced under warranty, then it died again after the warranty was out. Replaced it with a greaseable replacement U-joint instead of the original "lifetime lubed" unit & it's still OK at 145,000 miles.... Starter rebuild & a clutch safety switch that recently got "intermittent" are the only "repairs" that I've done other than rust issues with a brake line & a fuel line, and at it's age those could be considered "wear" items as well!
By the way, a Forum like this is handy to let you know about common issues that crop up as the miles go on, there's ALWAYS someone who cranks the miles on more than most so we can get hints as to issues to pay attention to so they don't come as a surprise.... It's a LOT nicer than wondering if you are the only one who has a particular failure..... On the other hand, you can't let yourself worry about EVERY possibility - just 'cause it happens to some doesn't make it a universal failing, the history of many units simply helps with diagnostics IF it happens that you have a similar issue!
Good Luck & enjoy your new Focus, wouldn't mind a new ST myself but it'll probably be an old car by the time it gets to me.....
My Focus got low fuel economy when it was brand new also. After 5k or so miles, it improved, and continue to improve. Engines have to be broken in. You can try that route, but you should get only used cars from now. Then you won't be disappointed. All manufacturers suffer from this. Honda was recently sued over it, and Ford is being sued over it. Underneath all EPA ratings it says "your mileage may vary."
Yes, 2500 is a good time for changing the oil for the first time. I changed mine at 2k.

Here is my Rubies Helmet that i Spray Painted, and used accrylic paints. I picked the Rubies because have a small frame i am 5'4" so the helmet fits me perfect and it goes perfect for my body.
I just thought to post these pics of my helmet so far, since i am a noob after all i was hoping to get some advice on what to do or what steps i should take.
The Earpieces are not painted yet, and my visor is just taped in due to the fact that i do not have a dremell tool.
But anyways heres my pics of my first helmet attempt, and mind u, it is a RUBIES.

I'm back home now, my mind is still buzzing with everything seen and heard at the New Zealand Society of Genealogists Family History Fair in Auckland. For me the highlights were the talks given by overseas speaker; Dr Jo Appleby, Brad Argent, Joshua Taylor and last, but by no means least Diane Loosle. When I attend genealogy conferences and fairs in NZ I always make a bee-line for the overseas speakers on the theory that they might not come this way again.
I'll post some interviews later in the week, but here are a few snippets from the talks.
FamilySearch will have all the films in the Granite Mountain Vaults digitised and online within 5 – 7 years.
FamilySearch Wikis are worth looking at for each ancestral parish as they have lots of info plus links to outside websites.
Ancestry is working on putting the best parts of the old search form into the new search form – wonder if this will make the search the "new new search" !
Ancestry.com.au will be putting online records for Lunatic Asylums. Maybe this is where your missing ancestors are. Ancestry thought long and hard about these records online in case they caused upset, but decided they should as it is all part of someone's family history.
FindMyPast is also improving their .com search form and making it as good as their .uk form (about time too in my opinion!)
FindMyPast is working on making their family trees searchable and available for others to view.
Dr Appleby who dug up Richard III was only there because no one else was available and she would have much rather been out in the wilds of Russia digging up Bronze Age bones which is her area of expertise.
Of the two people who are direct line ancestors of Richard III's sister Anne of York one, Michael Ibsen of Canada, agreed to being named, but the other decided they wished to remain anonymous. Because of the ensuing publicity and public interest that might well have been a good move! Most people with English ancestry will be related to Richard III, very distantly but still related (he is my 3rd cousin 16 times removed!) however direct line Mitochondrial DNA was what was needed.
Dr Turi King University of Leicester geneticist who worked on Richard III's DNA did a happy dance with relief when she could match the present day descendants DNA with that of the car park skeletons.

text: There is no specific blueprint for winning a Super Bowl. Look at the Ravens for the moment: QB passed for less than 4000 yards QB ended up with less than a 90 QB rating for the season (87.7) Good not great running game -- Rice ended up with 1143 yards No 1000 yard receivers or TEs No 10 sack pass rushers Only 13 interceptions as a team! Slightly above average pass rush -- 37 sacks. Nothing special I can't help but thinking that great coaching and special teams were the biggest difference for the Ravens. Either way, its easy to be lulled into think a team needs 4000 yard passers, 40 TD+ passers, 1000+ WRs, TEs..... 10-20 sack guys.. and bushels of interceptions to win a Superbowl. The fact of that matter is those aren't mandatory.

Airport Dogs to De-Stress Passengers
San Antonio International Airport is going to the dogs.
1200 WOAI's Stephanie Narvaez says a new program at the airport will have four legged furry greeters on hand to help passengers deal with the stresses of flying.
Christina Foley of the Pups and Planes program says there is nothing like a dog to get you to smile.
"We could barely get out of the terminal, without people saying, oh, can I pet your dog," Foley said. "People are really receptive about it."
She says the idea is to sue dogs to 'de-stress' passengers.
"It's a cool idea to bring the therapy dogs in here to give that love back," she said.
All of the dogs which are utilized are trained therapy dogs, which are used to being around all types of people. Unlike the ominous signs on police K-9 vehicles not to pet the dogs, Foley says the dogs react well to human attention.
"It's not only a great thing for children, it's a great thing for adults too," she said. "A lot of people miss their dog at home when they travel, and this is an opportunity for them to interact with a sweet dog before they travel."
The program will begin with five dogs at the Airport and could expand. The program is already in place in five airports, including Los Angeles, and the San Antonio program is the first of its kind in Texas.

MAF spray cleaner. That's probably not it though.
For intermittent problems like this I like for people to go with a tune-up first. Sometimes that solves the problem. Since your first issue was caused during a rain, you might be looking at a cracked coil. Bad coils will cause HO2S codes like "running rich".
|Spark plugs are newer, I did them last year, the car just passed 100k. Has a brand new air filter. I pulled the fuel filter last week and as far as I could tell it was original, covered in corrosion, still had motor craft part number on it. Cut it in half to find it was plugged with rust and dirt. At the same time I ran seafoam through the gas tank. Plug wires are original, but it doesn't feel like a misfire. It feels like the car falls flat on its face for a second then takes right off. I could try cleaning the maf, what's the best chemical to use for that?
O2 sensor codes can indicate other problems depending on what the code was. Typically the sensors themselves last about 100k miles, but there's no sense in replacing it if it's not the actual cause of the problem.
Check your air intake for leaks and your vacuum lines first.
Your symptoms could be a sign of a sluggish TPS, but let's wait on that one since it won't throw a code indicating it's bad- it never will, so it's sort of process of elimination for that one.
Try tune-up items first. You should also pull the plugs, clean, re-gap, and reinstall. I'd replace the wires if you have lifetime warranty wires- if not, forget it for now. Fuel filter, air filter, clean the MAF, and that should be about it. That might solve all your problems.
Sputtering at Idle loss of low end power
Just started running into this problem about a month and a half ago. I was driving in a torrential downpour, CEL flipped on so I pulled off of the e-way and noticed the idle was a bit "lop sided" best I can say is it sounded kind of like it was "cammed." when I went to take off from a stop the motor hesitated a little bit for about 2 seconds then would take right off no problem. This would only happen probably once or twice in a half hour long drive, and more prominently when I would hot start the motor. Like if I went into a store and came back out a couple of minutes later.
The CEL pulled a code for an O2 sensor, although I accidentally threw the piece of paper with the code number on it away
Resetting the computer resolved this issue and I drove it for about a solid month before it came back again, I was in a rush, had a bunch of places to be so I reset the computer again and kept driving, but same symptoms; lop sided idle, hesitating at take off, etc.
Today, the CEL remains off and has for the past 400 miles since the last reset, but while cruising at about 30 mph, motor at about 1800 rpm it started to sputter and buck. Pushing the accelerator pedal down a little bit resolved this and it stopped again.
I have never had an O2 sensor fail on me, but given thats the code it gave me last time, would this be the correct symptoms for a failing O2 sensor?

Students in the Psychology program will learn the methods and skills that enable them to evaluate published research and think critically about their own ideas and those of others. They are prepared to apply these methods to the problems of community and of the larger society. They are capable of tolerance for the views of others and able to appreciate the value of diversity.
With skilled mental health professionals in increasing demand as practitioners, the Psychology program at RWU prepares students to pursue graduate study in Psychology and other fields, or to enter any number of careers where these skillsets are applicable, including human resources, management, marketing, education and the mental health professions.
Roger Williams University offers a Bachelor of Science as well as a 4 + 1 B.A./M.A.in Psychology, with the master's portion of the degree in forensic psychology.
Our student learning outcomes center on encouraging the development in our students of a deep and broad knowledge base in the discipline of Psychology. We also provide a foundation to develop skills needed to design and evaluate research, we foster critical thinking in our students, enhance students' appreciation of diversity, promote students' awareness of ethical issues in Psychology, and prepare them for success in a wide range of careers, including graduate study.

(GunNews.com) Barack Obamas new strategy for attacking gun owners specifically targets collectors and competitors by blocking returns of surplus military rifles over six decades old, and reveals his extremist anti-gun attitude, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said last week.
The presidents new gun control measures, announced by Vice President Joe Biden, will prevent the recovery of thousands of military-surplus M-1 Garand rifles that are valued by collectors, competitors and historic reenactors. These firearms were loaned or donated to South Korea decades ago.
This is an outrage, said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, and the only people being hurt are law-abiding citizens. If there were any doubt about the level of anti-gun extremism in the Obama administration, this announcement just put those doubts to rest.
There is pending legislation, H.R. 2247, the Collectible Firearms Protection Act sponsored by Rep. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) that would prevent this, he noted.
This new prohibition will have far-reaching effects on all kinds of curio and relic firearms. Such firearms have considerable historic significance and value to American firearms aficionados, and there is no evidence that such firearms have ever been favored by criminals.
Gottlieb said, This ruling also sends a message to the firearms industry, and particularly importers, that this administration cannot be trusted. The president is taking out his frustration for being unable to pass his gun control agenda, and the only people who will suffer are citizens who would never break the law with any of these firearms. Punishing innocent people may be the Chicago way, but its not the American way, or the way an American president ought to lead.

text: Why did Q has to play Atkins at point really have me guessing, esp since Atkins did not play competitively for like 20 games. Why can't we just rotate the 3 'guards' of Bynum, Rip & Bengo for all 48 minutes at those 2 positions since all of them wanted minutes? Bengo can play the point when Bynum rests and Bynum can play the point when Rip rests and each of them will end up having an average of 32 minutes per which is not too many for guys their age. And with that unit which started the 2nd quarter, there will be absolutely no D. Are the commentators trying to tell us that you need one on one players for a team to win a title? How did JJ end up having plus 16 when we lost in double digit figures? Pistons actually won 3 out of 4 quarters and still lost the game in double digits. Wondering if this is a record.

That's fascinating befriend. YOu say it wasn't OCD? just "OCD like symptoms". Do you think this would work for someone who actually had OCD? I mean, i don't but i do talk to people who have it and i am interested in all mental health issues.
btw hand washing can be a severe symptom. It depends on how often you end up having to wash your hands and how often you are delayed from doing what you have to do. People who have this symptom, when severe find it extremely distressing and extremely disruptive in their lives. It seems the cause is actually a wiring problem in the brain. It would be quite hard to distract yourself from the thoughts that make you want to wash your hands obsessively.
Probably what you are talking about is more of an anxiety related symptom. I have experienced those once that i can recall. It past of its own accord.

The only minus would be two hour internet access only! If you use it wisely, it will last, but it depends on the length of your stay. The kitchen is well equipped and there is free tea and coffee, however, you need to buy milk separately, which is a bit unfortunate. All in all, a good stay. "

Laurent Koscielny admits the domestic cup is a far bigger deal in England than back home in France.
Koscielny is set to feature in the fourth round of the FA Cup against Aston Villa on Sunday, after helping the team progress against Leeds almost three weeks ago.
The Coupe de France remains a coveted trophy in his home nation but Koscielny says the competition here holds much more weight.
"In France we have the French cup," he told Arsenal.com. "But I don't think we have the same atmosphere as the FA Cup.
"Here it is an important trophy but in France it is less so. I know in England that winning the FA Cup is a very big trophy for the team.
"You know that the FA Cup is difficult because it is a hard game for 90 minutes. We know Aston Villa, we won away but it was a difficult game.
"Now it is at home we want to go as far as possible in this competition and so we have to win this game. It is important for the team because we have lost our last three games, and for the supporters because they were not happy after those defeats."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Historian tells about how railroads built Woodsville
By BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader | October 15. 2013 7:03PM
It was one big rail yard, "spectacularly huge," Jay Barrett called it, capable of accommodating 1,400 freight cars. At its height around 1925, trains were coming to Woodsville from all directions — Boston, Montreal, Montpelier, Vt. — and almost everyone living here derived at least some of their income from the Boston & Maine, which by 1900 had swallowed up all the smaller rail lines.
In fact, Haverhill's precinct of Woodsville grew and expanded around the rail industry, according to Barrett, an architect and railroad historian who spent two hours Sunday presenting that history to a rapt audience of 50.
The two Upper Valley communities, perpetually linked, have shared in the celebration of their combined 250th anniversary this year. The Haverhill Historical Society brought Barrett from across the river in Fairlee, Vt., as part of that effort.
"There are days when things just don't go right, and here's one of 'em," said Barrett, displaying a photograph of a rockslide around 1900 on Ingalls Hill that closed off a section of track south of Wells River.
And this month marks the 65th anniversary of the horrendous head-on collision in Newbury, Vt., between Boston & Maine and Canadian Pacific locomotives that claimed the engine crews of both trains. One train was supposed to have been on a siding at the time, but both were on the main line, coming at each other.
Barrett first touched on the history of transportation in New England, starting with the flat-bottom boats that hauled freight on its lakes and rivers.
It was a long, rich history over 100 years, but by the mid-1950s it was all but over in New Hampshire and America. Cars, trucks and highways steadily assumed prominence.

AMES, Iowa--The harvested Iowa landscape "sea of brown" increasingly is interrupted by fields of green this fall. What may appear from the road to be a field of very late planted and still growing soybeans is instead a field planted in cover crop. More Iowa farmers are planting cover crops late in the growing season, a practice the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy identified as one way to help protect Iowa's water quality.
"Cover crops reduce soil and nutrient runoff and build soil organic matter," said Paul Kassel, field agronomist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. "Extension and Outreach through Iowa Learning Farms is hosting multiple cover crop field days this fall to increase farmers' understanding of the costs and benefits of growing cover crops."
Kassel said extension specialists planned a Nov. 1 field day at test plots in Buena Vista County where a mixture of cereal rye, tillage radishes and turnips demonstrated several cover crop options. The plots were aerially seeded into standing corn and soybeans. The plots are part of the North Raccoon River Watershed project to improve water quality within the watershed.
Additional Iowa Learning Farms cover crop field days are scheduled for
Learn more about these events at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/ilf/.
Kassel said planting cover crops is only one effective nutrient reduction practice that was identified by the science assessments done in conjunction with the development of Iowa's Nutrient Reduction Strategy.
Iowa is one of 12 Mississippi River Basin states called upon to develop a state plan to reduce the nitrogen and phosphorus in surface water leaving the state. The goal is to reduce the nitrogen and phosphorus loadings to the northern Gulf of Mexico by 45 percent. Iowa State University, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and Iowa Department of Natural Resources worked in partnership to create Iowa's plan. The Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy was released in Nov. 2012, opened to public comment and finalized in May 2013.
"Iowa's plan is a practice-based approach to reducing the nitrogen and phosphorus impact on water," said John Lawrence, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Associate Dean, and Director of Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension and Outreach. "The plan is voluntary, which means it is not regulated. However – it is not optional. All Iowans can make a difference when it comes to leaving our land and water in better shape for future generations."
Iowa State University hosts the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy website, www.nutrientstrategy.iastate.edu/, where the plan details are made available. The Iowa strategy is a coordinated approach for reducing nutrient loads discharged from the state's largest wastewater treatment plants, in combination with targeted practices designed to reduce loads from nonpoint sources such as agriculture.
Lawrence said Iowans are showing great interest and support in the plan. "Success can be achieved using tools known to work, such as targeted, voluntary conservation measures, in conjunction with research, development and demonstration of new approaches. The goal is application of proven practices in fields and cities across Iowa," he said. "While the focus is on the Gulf, we should keep in mind that there are benefits in Iowa – and they are very real."
Agricultural practices with the largest potential impact on nitrate-N concentration and phosphorus load reduction are outlined in a publication, Reducing Nutrient Loss: Science Shows What Works, available from Iowa State. It is available for free download at https://store.extension.iastate.edu/; search for "SP 435." Those practices also are outlined on the website www.CleanWaterIowa.org, launched Oct. 28.
CleanWaterIowa.org contains resources to help Iowans protect and improve water quality. The site has "Farm," "Residential & Urban," and "City & Industry" sections that provide information about science-based practices that can be implemented to improve water quality. It includes descriptions of water quality practices that can be applied, benefits of the practices and links to additional information.
Iowans also can follow @CleanWaterIowa on Twitter or "like" the page on Facebook to receive updates and other information about the ongoing Iowa water quality initiative.

Flitterbloom is a magical plant that apparently has long, swaying tentacles. It bears a superficial resemblance to the deadly plant Devil's Snare, but it is harmless, so much so that wizards and witches keep it as an indoor plant or grow it in their gardens.
Miriam Strout, a Healer at St Mungo's, mistook the potted cutting of Devil's Snare sent to Broderick Bode at Christmas 1995 for Flitterbloom.
Georgina Smyth wrote in to Toots, Shoots 'n' Roots asking how she should treat a Flitterbloom that she hadn't watered in months.

Place: Sheetz across from Lowe's
Address: 698 Valley Vista Drive, State College, PA, 16803
I realize there used to be a upark gtg thread, but seems pretty old and off topic so were starting it over . I know there are honda meets toward the stadium and some other local gtgs around campus, but the euro scene around here isnt where it should be, especially with the amount of people we have here. I work at lowes, and it would be no problem getting a meet there, but i feel something closer on campus would suit everyone better. We need some input from the locals and students of psu about a good spot and a decent time/day. I know there are enough people up here to start a good, well organized gtg, even tho it is getting cold. So let's keep this thread on topic and keep it going.

Now I Remember
So in my post from yesterday I talked about the normal process of memory and forgetting. Right after I published that post I started thinking about all the weird little things that I remember.
In order to be a doctor you have to have a pretty good memory. You start out by memorizing muscles and bones and nerves and blood vessels, and work your way into the body by memorizing types of cells and cell processes and biochemical reactions. (How many of you remember how many molecules of ATP are produced in the Kreb's cycle?) The comedian who played Father Guido Sarducci on Saturday Night Live used to have this bit where he'd advertise for the Five Minute College. By sending him lots of money and taking his Five Minute College course, you could get a college degree while learning everything a college graduate remembers five minutes after leaving college.
I'm always surprised by the little factoids and trivia I remember, both in day-to-day life and from college days decades ago. I remember my friend's apartment number because it's the same as the year Jamestown was founded. I remember my childhood phone number (OK, that's an easy one---it's two digits repeated two or three times) as well as the addresses for all the apartments I've ever lived in.
Remembering things too well is rarely a problem for people. When it happens it's usually in the context of unpleasant or horrible memories, memories that intrude on day-to-day life and are upsetting or interfere with one's ability to function, as in post-traumatic stress disorder. These situations are usually managed with therapy, although now people are also experimenting with the use of medications to prevent the formation of intrusive memories after traumatic events. This is still too experimental to be practically useful, however.
Of course, we know that memory is not always a reliable thing. We remember childhood events differently than our older siblings, or not at all. In the 1980's following years of a movement for the treatment of trauma survivors we learned both that bad memories can be repressed, but also they can be created through false memory syndrome. The amazing thing is that false memories can be just as convincing to the individual as real ones.
Speaking of false memory syndrome, here's a practical example. When I started writing this post I was feeling rather pleased with myself that I remembered how many ATP's were produced by the Kreb's cycle. I was wrong. See if your memory is better than mine by checking out this link here.

I recently received this review from Deborah in Oklahoma. Thanks for sending it, Deborah! It's always great to hear when we win over a teenager with food storage!
(How about you? Are your kids fans of the food storage meals you've made? Or are you working to help them get over a food storage phobia?)
My husband and I went on a 3 day camping trip with our 16 year old niece. I thought it would be an excellent time to field test some of our freeze dried foods from Emergency Essentials. I also wanted to get my niece Kayla's opinion. She has never eaten freeze dried food before so I was curious to see her reaction. We used our Emergency Essentials foods for breakfast each day.
We made sausage & egg breakfast burritos with the freeze dried eggs & sausage crumbles. They were wonderful!!! The last morning of the trip, we had French Toast and Yoders canned bacon. I used the freeze dried egg & freeze dried milk powder reconstituted to dredge my bread in, then grilled it in a skillet. It was so good!! We used the Emergency Essentials milk pitcher to mix the milk and it worked beautifully!! The Yoders bacon was great!
We really enjoyed all our Emergency Essentials food. Even our niece gave it a thumbs up. That's saying something when you can impress a teenager! The Emergency Essentials food made the trip so much easier. I didn't have to worry about refrigeration for the eggs, milk and sausage. The food was delicious and easy to prepare. I highly recommend Emergency Essentials products!!

NYC teacher making $100K in rubber room refuses to retire
posted at 4:38 pm on January 29, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
How broken is the educational system in New York City? Broken enough that a 66-year-old teacher relegated to one of the city's "rubber rooms" after being deemed a danger to his students refuses to leave. To add insult to injury, the teacher, Alan Rosenfeld, is still pulling down $100,049 a year in salary, plus health benefits, a growing pension, and vacation and sick pay. Oh, and he's worth a cool $10 million.
Because there is no mandatory retirement age for teachers in New York State, the city Department of Education has no recourse but to let Rosenfeld stay as long as he likes.
And he likes. The New York Post quotes a friend of Rosenfeld as saying of his refusal to quit:
It's an F-U. He's happy about it, and very proud that he beat the system. This is a great show-up-but-don't-do-anything job.
The city has only itself to blame. Rosenfeld was accused in 2001 of making lewd comments to students and ogling eighth-grade girls' behinds. These were grounds for dismissal that even the powerful American Federation of Teachers would have had a tough time defending.
But the DOE failed to produce enough witnesses at a hearing to make the charges stick. The only choices available were to return Rosenfeld to the classroom or send him to a rubber room. Officials opted for the latter and Rosenfeld—a licensed attorney and real-estate broker—continued to draw a paycheck from the city while enriching himself by managing a portfolio of lucrative investment properties.
After the DOE closed down its rubber rooms in 2010, Rosenfeld was permanently reassigned to a Division of School Facilities warehouse in Long Island City, Queens, where he is asked to do occasional light clerical work. But even that has not been sufficient to unseat Rosenfeld whose pension grows by $1,700 annually. If he quit today at full retirement, his pension would total around $85,400 a year.
The paper quotes Marcus Winters, a Manhattan Institute expert on teacher evaluation, as saying:
It's a tremendous waste of money. While we don't want to remove people just because they've been accused, we also want the school system to cut ties with teachers it's not going to put in the classroom.
Rosenfeld is currently one of six hangers-on in a broken system that is draining $650,000 a year from the city coffers.
What makes the situation even more outrageous is that, according to the education reform documentary Waiting for "Superman," one out of every 57 doctors loses his license to practice medicine and one out of every 97 lawyers loses his license to practice law. But in New York City between the years 2007 and 2010, just 88 out of some 80,000 city schoolteachers lost their jobs for poor performance.
