HAMDEN, Conn. - Team captain Katie Latonick (Severna Park, Md.) scored the game-winning goal with five seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Quinnipiac University women's lacrosse team to an 8-7 victory over Northeast Conference opponent Monmouth Thursday afternoon. Latonick's goal lifted the Bobcats above .500 for the first time this season at 5-4 overall. The win also improves the team's NEC mark to a perfect 4-0, while Monmouth drops to 3-1 in league play and 5-6 overall.
"Today's game was well played by both teams. We were really fortunate that we had a great defensive stop at the end to give us the last possession," Head Coach Danie Caro said. "We were really poised and patient on our final possession and Katie (Latonick) made a big-time play to bury the game winner with five seconds left."
Megan Brennan scored the opening goal on a free-position shot 42 seconds into the game to give Monmouth the early 1-0 lead. Quinnipiac's Marissa Caroleo (North Babylon, N.Y.) and Chelsea Guerrera (Wantagh, N.Y.) scored back-to-back goals in 1:07 to pout the Bobcats back on top, 2-1.
The Hawks' Brennan and the Bobcats' Caroleo each netted one more goal apiece in the first 10 minutes of play, before Shawn Evans of Monmouth evened the score at 3-3. That score would hold up for the next 17 minutes of play before Quinnipiac sophomore Devon Gibney (Hopkinton, Mass.) received at pass from junior Lauren Matuszczak (East Longmeadow, Mass.) at midfield and netted a goal into the top right corner to take a 4-3 lead into the half.
Lianne Toomey's (Hicksville, N.Y.) free-position tally gave Quinnipiac the 5-3 lead just over three minutes into the second period. Two goals from Molly O'Brien in less than a minute evened the score for Monmouth.
Matuszczak scored her first goal of the game with 19 minutes left to regain the lead, 6-5. The Bobcats' defensive pressure allowed nine and a half minutes to elapse from the clock before Evans finally broke through with a goal to again tie the game.
O'Brien's third marker gave Monmouth their first lead of the game since it was 1-0 in the first minute of play. Just over three minutes later, Gibney got the equalizer on a free-position goal to the far side, just inside the post.
Brittany Hauser's (Northport, N.Y.) taken charge on Monmouth's Rachel Feirstein next to the Quinnipiac goal with 2:16 remaining in the game allowed the Bobcats to hold for the final possession.
Latonick and Guerrera exchanged passes at the top left portion of the offensive zone before Latonick took the ball behind the Monmouth crease. Looking for an open teammate cutting to the net, the fifth-year member of the Bobcats began to move to her right and to the front of the goalmouth. Holding off a defender and making a deke towards the goal, Latonick opened up a shooting lane. Her shot found an area in the far top corner with five seconds remaining in the game for the game-winning goal, 8-7.
Latonick and Matuszczak both finished with team highs of three points on one goal and two assists each. Matuszczak and Gibney each had three caused turnovers in the win, while Hauser's caused turnover in the final minutes gave her team the opportunity to net the winner.
Goalkeeper Lexi DeStefano (Brookfield, Conn.) continued her strong junior season with another win, turning aside seven shots in the game. Five of those saves came in the second half, including three on one sequence in the final 10 minutes of the game.
"I am really proud of how well our defense played today," Caro added. "Lexi (DeStefano) did a great job directing the defense and we came up with big plays when we needed them."
Quinnipiac will face another tough test when perennial NEC power Mount St. Mary's comes to the Quinnipiac Field Hockey & Lacrosse Turf Field on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. Saturday's game also marks Senior Day for the Bobcats who will be honoring five members of the team for their contributions to the team over their careers. It will also be the final day of the Friends of Jaclyn Week that helps support children fighting pediatric brain tumors.

what of the queens?
It depends on why your combining. The main reason I combine hives is that one is just too far behind and I don't have extra queens at the time. I always kill the queen that I don't want. If you keep both queens, the inferior queen might kill the queen that is doing well resulting in loosing both hives. So the way I do it is kill the queen that I don't want, put a sheet of newspaper on top of the good hive(I don't cut slits), and place the queen less hive on top. They usually remove 100% of the newspaper in two days. I've done it this way many times and never remember it failing.
If the weather is hot what do you do about ventilation?
If you do it later in the afternoon by the next morning they are usually all ready eating holes in the newspaper. It doesn't take them long.

Frosted Chocolate-Buttermilk Cupcakes
Dutch-process cocoa powder has a more mellow flavor and darker color than regular cocoa powder, which works well in this recipe.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes 12
Source: Everyday Food, January/February 2005
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- Light Cream-Cheese Icing
- Candy decorations (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line standard 12-cup muffin tin (or two 6-cup muffin tins) with paper liners. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
With an electric mixer, combine cocoa and 3 tablespoons hot water until a thick paste forms (this process intensifies the chocolate flavor). Add butter, buttermilk, egg, and egg white; beat until combined. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth.
Scoop (or spoon) batter into prepared tin(s). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread Light Cream-Cheese Icing over tops. Decorate as desired.

I am just starting to get back into this again, haven't done this stuff since I was a kid.
I wanted to know what your suggestions would be about connecting multiple tanks as one giant tank, Via a well sealed 2in. or 3in. hose or PVC pipe.
My idea is simple, in layout. One tank with 80% land (Vivarium) with a hose or two leading to a tank that rests lower than that. The lower tank will be a full aquarium which connects back on the other side to another vivarium with a similar setup as the first tank. The fourth tank is also between the two 80% vivariums, and is a 100% terrarium that sits slightly higher and further back than the aquarium.
Below is a sample setup. Eventually I want the two stacked tanks to be set angled into a corner of my room, while the other two align with the wall, forming a wrap around feel.
I wanted to be 56K friendly with the image.
Forgot to mention the tank sizes.
- - Top Center: 30gal. Long
- - Bottom Center: 30gal. Long
- - Left / Right: 40gal. Breeders, or 40gal. Tall
I am leaning toward the Breeder tanks, because of the additional room for land and water. However, I was thinking about using the Tall aquarium tanks because this will create a better cosmetic balance, as the tanks will be closer to the same heights.
To add more balance to the height, I was going to strip the top plastic rims from the side tanks, and create a lexan spacer. While the hood that covers all of the tanks would cover about 2in. of the top / center terrarium. Likewise, the base will be flush with the bottom of the plastic trim on the side tanks, while covering 2in. of the bottom aquarium.
wow! it should work if you can cut the glass and build a stand that will avoid any incident of stress on the connecting pipes
I would love to see this project work!
The only problem I can see, is that unless you may have a problem getting to equipment since on the sides it will locked in. if you can get to the back it won't be an issue. I have a similar idea with a water fall (a 75 gal drilled out on the back and bottom) and a 55 gal (planted tank). The viv is for my dart frogs and the platned tank is for a peaceful community of tetras
The only fitting I am going to take precaution on is the water fitting. Although the 3in. pipe will only be sitting within the first 3in. of water. A leak will not loose much, and any stray fish should have the chance to scoot out, or flop their way back. Any newts should be able to climb back into the drained area if they need to get out of the water.
The junction will be a standard flex hose, that will be hidden from view by the frame trimming, so a little bit of motion will not harm the connection. Where as the upper connection, to the terrarium, will be a loose fit pipe. The loose fit pipe will be secured with normal window trim foam tape, and additionally will be hidden by a rock cave entrance and the between trimming.
The gap that remains at the back side of the middle tanks, where it sits in the corner should be enough to stand in, if not, I will make it enough to stand in. Additionally, the top tank will rest 1/3 on the aquarium below, and the other half will be supported via an extension from the aquarium stand. Not directly on the aquarium rim, there will be a 1in. gap between the two, which will fit the modified 3/4in. frame that will support the above tank. Mounted directly to the 3/4in. frame will be the hinge for the aquarium lid, to provide access for feeding and cleaning.
You can see the thin gap in the last drawing, the side view. Once again, these were not the best diagrams. I have a great imagination and what I see in my head is rather difficult to interpret onto a flat image.
As a starter I am going to try doing just three connected. This is going to be a long and cold winter, so progress might be slightly slow. The center piece will be the hardest, as vivariums usually are.
I purchased all the items needed for the vivarium setup. Now I am preparing the step by step tutorial. The tutorial will show how to create an island setup with full water underneath, and a simple waterfall for aeration and circulation. Give me about a week to finish the island, and then I will post the tutorial.
Shortly after that, I will start the aquarium. Then at the end of the month, when plant prices fall, I will start the terrarium. Lastly I will connect all of them. Arg, connecting them after they have been established will be the hardest part. But, I know how to do it, so no problem here. For added depth I might do something similar to "guppygal's" mirror setup. Except I will cheat and put the mirror behind the glass, not as the glass. Referring to the "Replace broken glass w/mirror" posting.

I send mine in and I want to believe that it is all for marketing purposes. I would think that the BATFE or some other government agency could not look at their sales records without a subpoena or warrant.
I sent in one of my S&W semi-auto pistols in for some trigger work (yes, it was an SW9VE if you must know!) and they never asked for a receipt or any other proof of purchase. I also had an issue with a Ruger revolver. The tip of the base pin broke (the pin that holds the cylinder in the frame) and when I called their repair center, all they wanted to know was my name and address so they would know where to send the replacement! So in my experience, it seems like they don't need to know anything about when and where the gun was purchased in order to honor their service policy.
That being said, every Ruger and S&W gun that I have bought recently has come with a spent shell in a little manilla envelope. In some jurisdictions, this shell must be sent to the local law enforcement agency and kept on file. Believe me, that is NOT for marketing purposes!

The Canisius volleyball team won for the fourth time in five matches after a four-set win at Rider University in Alumni Gymnasium on Sunday afternoon. The Golden Griffins won 25-21, 22-25, 25-19, 25-20 to open MAAC play with a 2-0 record.
Freshman Jacklyn Malusa had her fourth double-double of the season with a career-high 18 kills to go along with 13 digs. Fellow freshman outside hitter Katlyn Tyler had 12 kills and six digs in three sets of action. Senior Roxanne Hernandez paced the Canisius block with a career-high 10 blocks as Canisius had 14 blocks in the match.
Sophomore Lauren Siebert added 10 kills and a 364 attack percentage. Junior Emily Litwin had her first career double-double with 23 digs and 11 assists. Senior Sydney Palka and sophomore Grace Streicher each had 22 assists, with Streicher posting her second career double-double with 12 digs.
"I felt that collectively we were able to play with heart and stuck to a game plan, which allowed us to take care of our side of the net," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "We need to bring what we've done the past couple of weekends back to our gym and take advantage of playing at home."
Canisius broke open the first set with a 9-2 run, going up 15-7 after a service ace from senior Jessica Warner. The Broncs cut the deficit to two points late in the set, but Canisius won the final two points, capped by a kill from sophomore Rachel Kline, to take the opening set.
After Rider (9-3, 1-1 MAAC) evened the match by winning the second set, the Griffs bounced back in the third set. Canisius won five straight points to go up 13-8 and never let Rider get closer than four points the rest of the set. A back-row kill from Malusa put Canisius up 2-1 in the match.
Canisius took the early lead in the fourth set and never gave it back, again scoring five straight points in the middle of the set to build a 15-8 advantage. Rider again could never get closer than four points as the 18th kill of the day from Malusa put the match away.
Kaitlyn Griffin led Rider with 16 kills while Ryan Ackermann had a double-double with 15 kills and 19 digs.
Canisius (4-9, 2-0 MAAC) returns to the Koessler Athletic Center next week to begin a stretch of five straight home matches. The Golden Griffins start the homestand against Marist College at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
Notes: Canisius defeats Rider for the 15th consecutive meeting… The Griffs open MAAC play 2-0 for the second straight year and for the third time in five years… Canisius improves to 21-5 in its last 26 regular-season MAAC contests… The 10 blocks by Hernandez are the most by a Golden Griffin since Samantha Good had 10 against Manhattan on Sept. 30, 2012… The 18 kills by Malusa are the most by a Canisius freshman since Emily Elek had 18 kills against Marist on Sept. 19, 2010… Canisius had 14 blocks for the second time this season.

With limited financial resources, Christina Montoya's dream of attending a Catholic university might never have been realized. Montoya applied to UST and received scholarships to help offset tuition. She has done exceptionally well as a finance and economics major in UST's BBA/MBA joint degree program.
Parishioners in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston are invited to support scholarships for students like Montoya. The Second Collection for Catholic Higher Education will occur on Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14, 2014. Funds collected support the University of St. Thomas Basilian Fathers Scholarship Fund and the Catholic University of America.
Montoya grew up in a close-knit Catholic family that taught her the value of hard work and the importance of a college education.
"My sister graduated from UST, and I will graduate in 2015," Montoya said. "We're proud of this legacy, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to attend a quality, faith-based university. It has changed my life."
Nearly 90 percent of University of St. Thomas students receives scholarships or financial aid. Providing these scholarships helps to relieve the academic stresses of hard working students.
Montoya takes to heart a treasured piece of advice she received from her grandmother: "Work hard and never waste the sacrifice someone made for you to be successful."
With her high grade point average, volunteer service and promising future, Montoya is certainly making her family proud.

Hi everyone!
I just had a few questions that I had about teaching english in Korea.
I've been looking on the internet for info on teaching and have a couple questions...
1. what exactly do I need? Tesol, Tefl? I am located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Canada.
2. I have found many schools which gives you a certificate(ie. Internet schooling, community college)... does it really matter which school I goto?
I am currently free, should I just finish it in 1 month?
3. I have heard many stories of people simply going to asia, then finding a job without certificates. They say there are "ways around it" concerning certificates, diplomas, degrees etc... is this common?
4. I am a Canadian born Korean (hardly speak Korean). Does this give me a better or worse chance at finding a job in Seoul?
5. I am ready to start today. Whats the fastest way to get my qualifications?
6. Is it possible to get the certification in asia? If so, would this be a good idea? cheaper in asia?
sorry for the huge list of questions... I'm sure i've missed something I am just excited and hope to be teaching soon.
Please send me all your recommendations or advice if you have any at all.
Thanks in advance.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I just remembered something... part of the problem may be the quality of the flexplate IF it's a recent (in the past 10 years) purchase. My brother works on a few of the local farmers and friends vehicles. He recently put a reman engine in a 2002 or so Chevy truck and bought a new flexplate. The flexplate cracked in the center after just a couple months (and over 2500 miles... truck used by a siding company). He'd bought a NAPA "made in China" flexplate. The replacement was purchased from GM, but low and behold it was "made in China" too! Probably the same flexplate, just reboxed by GM and cost $20 more. We figure the one that cracked probably wasn't properly heat treated (hardened). That will happen occasionally even with US manfuactured items -- everybody makes a lemon now and then, though it does seem to occur a little more often for some...
Not a lot of people have extra money laying around. I replaced a dozen or more flywheels that looked exactly like the one you pulled out, and they were hammering so loud it would've fooled almost anyone into thinking the motor was blown. It would be prudent to pull the oil filter and cut it open. You don't need any fancy tools. Examine the filter media for the presence of any metal particles. If there is no metal, I would install a new filter and change the oil. Since the motor has been setting for a while, a pre-oiling is mandatory. The pro-form tool is not terribly expensive and does a decent job, but if you have any old distributors available, a nut welded on the top and spun with an air ratchet works very nicely, and they don't heat up. Of course if metal is obvious you will have to make a decision as to the best use of your hard-earned money. Stay away from the cheap crate motors as most are assembled with questionable parts and sometimes questionable labor. If you do choose to go that route, stay with a reputable company that will stand behind their product. Assuming there is no metal, remove the spark plugs and squirt a bit of motor oil into each cylinder. After you have achieved oil pressure, have a friend turn the motor over with a ratchet as you continue to pre-oil. Just a couple revolutions is adequate... you don't want to damage the camshaft. The only other thing that you may want to consider, while the motor is out, is a new set of valve seals. Easy to do with the motor on the stand and very inexpensive.
I would think that some of the other alignment issues discussed are possible, but not something I've experienced.
Since you had this failure of the flexplate, I would check to be sure your flexplate, trans, etc fits correctly before putting it back in the car.
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.
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.
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.
|Chopt 48
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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!!
|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.

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.

Advice for a young climate blogger
Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards attempting to communicate your expertise and thoughts to the wider world, which remains poorly served by its traditional sources of information when it comes to complex societally relevant issues like climate change. Your aim to clarify the science (or policy options or ethical considerations or simply to explain your views) is a noble endeavor and we wish you luck and wide readership. But do be aware that you are dipping your blog into sometimes treacherous waters. Bad things can happen to good bloggers. So in a spirit of blog-camaraderie, and in light of our own experiences and observations, we offer some advice that may be of some help in navigating the political climate relatively unscathed.
Be honest to yourself and your readers. If your aim is to educate, say so. If your aim is to push for more funding for your pet projects, or advocate for a specific policy, be upfront about it. Don't however be surprised if people spend their time trying to find hidden motives in what you do. There is a school of thought had has decreed that any public speech must be directed towards public action and that there is no such thing as a pure information supply. In the widest sense this is probably true – everyone blogs, writes or speaks out for a reason. However, this is often interpreted as implying that all public speech must be either pro-or-con some very specific proposal. This is nonsense. One can criticize George Will's or Alexander Cockburn's misuse of climate science without agreeing or disagreeing or even having looked at their public policy proposals. Of course, the corollary of this position, that any such criticism of your statements must itself be directed at supporting the opposite political action is very rarely appreciated. On the other hand, assuming that criticism of your statements must be politically motivated is usually a mistake. Sometimes that is true, but there are enough exceptions that it should not be assumed.
Know that there are people who will misrepresent you. Climate science is perceived to have political, economic and ethical implications. Most of the what gets discussed really doesn't have any such implication, but the 'scientization' of political discourse on this issue means that micro-parsing of published work and blog postings is a common practice. Advocates of all stripes (though predominantly those outside the mainstream) will examine whether a new result or comment appears to project onto their particular agenda, and trumpet it widely if it does. The motives can range from specifically political to a desire for publicity or position, though the exact reasons are often obscure and mostly not worth debating. Thus 15th Century tree rings become an argument against the Kyoto Protocol, just as bacterial flagella are whipped into service when discussing the role of religion in public life.
In the specific world of climate-related blogs there are a number of conduits by which misrepresentations gain wider currency. Matt Drudge for instance, spends an inordinate amount of time finding crackpot climate science stories in fringe media and highlighting them on the widely-read Drudge Report. Marc Morano (who we hear is leaving his post as a staffer for Senator Inhofe) is a very diligent reader of the climate blogs (Pielke2, WUWT, RC etc.) and any misrepresentation found there, or criticism that could be misrepresented, will quickly find its way into many email in-boxes. From there, if you are lucky, further misrepresentations might find their way onto the Rush Limbaugh's show (via Roy Spencer), or Glenn Beck as throwaway lines confirming (to them) the perfidy of mainstream climate science.
Be aware that the impact that you have might be very different from the impact that you think you should have. Over time, if you find yourself constantly misquoted or used to support positions or ideas you don't agree with, think about why that might be. You will likely find yourself accused of 'stealth advocacy' i.e. of secretly agreeing with the misquoters. If that isn't actually the case, remember that the abandonment of responsibility for your words (i.e. "how was I to know I would be misquoted so often?") is not an option that leaves you with much integrity. Being misquoted once might be a misfortune, being misquoted more often smacks of carelessness.
Don't expect the world to be fair. Read Mamet's "Bambi v. Godzilla", and in particular the section containing this line:

Jeep Liberty Models and Liberty History
In 2002, Jeep introduced the Liberty as a replacement for the aging Cherokee fleet. It would become the most economical car in the lineup, designed to mold popular Cherokee trim levels and engine displacements into one all-around SUV. In 2003, Jeep revamped the interior design of the Liberty by adding a few tweaks, new safety items, a six-disc CD changer, all-wheel disc brakes, a tachometer on the gauge cluster and a few other minor changes.
The 2004 Liberty now offered passenger grab-handles as well as a new tire pressure monitoring system, and featured the UConnect for hands-free cellphone conversation. This model year also introduced several new trims, like the Jeep Liberty Columbia Edition, new wheels, and new exterior options like fog lights, a sun roof and body moldings. In 2005, Jeep introduced a diesel engine option, added a new fascia on the front, a new grill, fog lights, fender flares and side moldings.
The interior gauge cluster was also updated, and new off-road features, like rock rails and skid plates were offered as options. A six-speed manual was introduced to replace the five-speed manual transmission, too. No major changes were made for the 2006 model year. In 2007, Jeep discontinued the Renegade trim and ditched the 2.8-liter diesel engine as well. In 2008, Jeep completely redesigned the Liberty, adding a new four-wheel-drive system and using higher quality materials. Jeep also introduced the Sky Slider sunroof.
The carmaker now offered a lifetime powertrain warranty as well. The 2009 model year saw a few minor changes made to the interior and exterior of the Liberty. In 2010, Jeep added the new Renegade trim and made minor changes to the vehicle. The 2011 Liberty was updated with a new steering wheel and updates were made to the infotainment console as well. In 2012, Jeep added the Jet trim and Artic trim, and offered parking sensors as an upgrade for all vehicles.

Things that I'll be incorporating into my look:
1. Curly hair: (Ok yes, you can see my new color here, more on that this afternoon!) My hubby likes when I curl my hair, and I'm still getting the hang of my new cut. This was the day after the cut, and somehow I feel kind of plastic here (and a bit like this is a DMV picture, that background is so boring!) My layers are moving a bit differently now with curls, so I'm practicing. But, I usually curl with my Beachwaver Curling Iron, and with just a little mousse and some hair oil my hair is good to go for a few days.
2. Darker Shadow: Obviously, a little smoky eye! When creating this look I just grabbed things from my stash that worked, I didn't worry about whether items were currently available (so sorry about the MAC Fafi paint pot from 2008!)
3. Pink Lips: I wanted some color, but not too dark. That middle ground seems to be something my hubby responds to.
4. Elie Saab Perfume: Whenever I wear this light and pretty floral he says he likes it. Every single time.
Next I applied black pencil to my upper and lower lash lines, really working the liner into my upper lash line and smudging it well. Finally, I curled my lashes like crazy and layered two mascaras for amazing lashes with just mascara. I used Fresh Supernova and then the new Maybelline Rocket Volume Express.
I've been spraying my face every day with the new formulation of the Urban Decay All Nighter spray to keep my makeup long lasting. A full review is coming, but I love it!

sorry guys this is going to be a long post, but this is what happened to Jango's armour
From: Boba Fett
Book 1
The Fight to Survive
by Terry Bisson
The scoop made its dump and headed back into the stalagmite city,
through an underground passage. Boba dragged his father's body off the
scrap pile and onto the rocky mesa.
The mesa seemed a better resting place. More peaceful, and certainly
more beautiful.
Boba removed his father's battle armor and set it aside. He took one
last look at the strong arms and legs that had protected him. Then, using a
broken droid arm for a shovel, Boba buried his father in a sandy grave
overlooking the desert.
The broken droid arm made a "J," and Boba found another that he bent
to make an "F." He arranged them on top of the grave.
Jango Fett. Gone but not forgotten.
Boba suddenly felt very tired. He sat down beside his father's battle
armor. He wished he had something to eat.
He shivered. The wind off the desert was cold.
Boba leaned back against the helmet and looked up at the great orange
rings that encircled the planet. It was if they were holding it in theirarms. It was a peaceful sight....
Boba slept peacefully all that night. His dreams (and he forgot them)
were of the mother he had never had, and the father he had been lucky
enough to have. He awoke in the morning, rested and surprisingly
comfortable. Then he saw that a furry sand snake had wrapped itself around
him as he slept, keeping him warm.
Startled, Boba jumped to his feet. The sand snake yelped in alarm and
slithered away in a panic.
The same one? Boba wondered.
It didn't matter. What mattered was that his job was done, for now.
His father was buried. The little grave with the JF on it was proof of
Looking at it, Boba realized how much he was going to miss the father
who had protected him, guided him, watched over him - and loved him. Now he
was alone, all alone.
And for the first time, and for a long time, he wept.
It was time to think clearly, time to make plans. Time to swing intoaction.
First things first, Jango Fett always said.
First was taking care of the Mandalorian battle armor: the suit, the
helmet, the jet-pack, and all the weaponry. It will be yours someday, his
father had said.
But for now, Boba was too small to wear it or even carry it around. So
he cleaned it, then hid it in a small cave under a cliff. He would reclaim
it later.
Second was the black book his father had left him; or rather, the
message unit that was not-a, book.
It will tell you what you need to know.
Boba had to get back into the apartment to get it. That presented a
problem, given the chaos created by the battle that had spread from the
arena. He had been confined to quarters by his father, which meant that his
retinal print might not open the door.
Boba got the battle helmet out of the cave to bring with him, just in
case. Since Jango almost always wore it, it would contain unlocking codes.The next problem was getting into the stalagmite city. I can do it, he
thought, hearing the crash of broken droid parts being dumped below the
mesa.First load of the morning.
So far so good, thought Boba as he rode the scoop through the
underground passage. Dad would be proud.
He felt a sad thought approaching but he waved it away. There would be
time for all that later. For now, the best way to honor his father was to
learn and live by Jango Fett's code.
That would take some doing, but it would be worth it. It had been
Jango's plan for his son. Now it was Boba's plan for himself.
Carrying the battle helmet, Boba ran up the long stairs toward the
apartment. He passed only two or three Geonosians, and they hardly noticed

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Please go to our website and read our frequently asked questions before emailing the foster parent for more information. Most questions can be answered on our site. Once your adoption application is received, the foster parent will be in touch with you to discus the adoption process. Keep in mind we receive many inquiries on our dogs. We are staffed solely by volunteers and will get back to you as soon as possible.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Good news for U. S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, she will be moving into a Texas rehabilitation clinic on Friday. This is great new for her husband and parents who are excited about her recovery. CNN reports her parents had long been worried about her safety.
Mark Kelly, Giffords husband and astronaut claims he had many discussions with her about what could occur, before the day of the shooting. There had been many threats against she and other members in Congress. Kelly also says he does not have time to think about the shooter, but just remain positive about his wife's condition. He says she is showing clear signs of recovery, doing things she used to do to reveal her love for him, by touching and playing with his wedding ring.
This is really a clear sign of miracles still occur in the 21st century. U. S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords is showing positive signs, eight days after being shot in the brain says CNN.
In a public release statement, released on Sunday, a spokesperson of University Medical Center in Tuscon said Rep. Giffords is continuing to do well.
Miraculously, Giffords has been off of the ventilator and breathing on her own through a through a tracheotomy tube.
Sen. Kristen Gillibrand who is a friend of Rep. Giffords says she is moving on both sides of her body today.
We just received news that First Lady Michelle Obama just penned a letter to parents across the nation about the tragedy in Tucson that took the lives of 6 victims including a 9 year old girl on Saturday.
It was appropriate that the First Lady take time to address the families of America about what this tragedy as caused in the eyes of young people, children and all Americans. She tries to shed some hope to parents and everyone across America of we can encourage one another.
Ex-Girlfriend Says Jared Loughner Went 'Mad' After Break Up
Jared Loughner had a typical life as a teenager when he met his high school girlfriend in 2004. She, Kelsey Hawkes stated that when they were together in high school, Jared had goals and aspirations until she broke up with him and it seemed as if life was over for him. Plus, below we found another girlfriend, Ashley Figueroa who describes Loughner in a similar bout different fashion.
These are her words about their relationship and how she felt about him:
President Obama Remarks at Tucson Victims Memorial
President Obama actually gave some encouraging and appropriate words at the memorial of all six victims of the Tucson shooting attack. We have provided you with excerpts of the remarks he made at the memorial on Tuesday thanks to AOL News.
Tribute to the Victims
"It's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds."
His visit to see Gabrielle Giffords at Hospital
WBC Protest Called Off For Publicity But Exploited Arizona Victims
News has stated that the Westboro Baptist Church that planned to protest the 6 victims of the Arizona shooting on Saturday has called off the protest. Well, its not all because they came to their senses of course but only for an exchange for publicity. What?!
On Tuesday, daughter of founder of WBC Shirley Phelps-Roper has been promised an interview with 102.1 The Edge in Toronto, Canada if they agreed to call off the protest. We found that this is not the first time they have "called a bluff" on a protest. We did some research and found in 2006, Shirley Phelps-Roper called off a similar protest planned for the funerals of Amish schoolgirls who were shot to death in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in exchange for publicity.
What is the world coming to? There seems to be no regard or care for the victims in this horrible tragedy of several deaths and assassination attempt of Congresswoman Rep. Gabrielle Giffords that happened on Saturday morning in Tucson.
The Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) plans to picket the funeral of the deceased victims, which include the 9 year old girl Christina Taylor Green on Wednesday. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama plan to attend the memorial.

After Arsenal's 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal

@AFC_93 - Koscielny and Santos did well. Mertersacker and Vermaelen looked solid together.
@Chaaarsenal - Excellent performance. The last goal got me a bit annoyed, but overall it was a top, top performance. Song easily my MotM.
@shockerhess - Robin van Persie is ridiculous, and I LOVE ridiculous.
@postelliot - This Van Persie scoring rate is getting outrageous now.
@TC_Gooner - What a professional performance from Arsenal tonight. Total team effort.
@afcsacha - Just when you've had the worst day ever at work, Arsenal go and churn in a performance like that! Cheers lads, well played!
@MikelArteta08 - Verminated is trending worldwide, brilliant!
@HennyIipumbu - Santos was good last night. We got the right left-back. Well done son.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Animal, human and environmental health are inexorably intertwined. Diseases are making the jump from animals to humans and vice-versa at an increasing pace. The emergence of animal borne diseases such as Avian flu, Ebola, and most recently H1N1 (swine flu), demonstrate the need for an integrated strategy across several scientific, medical and environmental fields for improved public health.

Hey, A friend of mine linked me this earlier. Thought maybe, if there are any others in the Central Texas area, you might find this fun to attend.
A Star Wars Pub Crawl for Charity
It's called Hans Shot First. It's a pub crawl with a $5 minimum donation to the Child's Play charity, "a charity that purchases video games for children in hospitals."
Costumes are encouraged.
Again, just thought I'd share. Who doesn't like drinks? And video games? And Star Wars?
Hope to make it, and maybe see a couple of you guys there as well!

Tollner stripped of power
Mar 08, 2013 , 3:10 PM by Vicki Kerrigan
Dave Tollner, the Member for Fong Lim, is a notorious politician in the Northern Territory. Well known for being a maverick, for speaking his straight shooting outspoken ways and for his guffaw. Dave Tollner is an experienced pollie who spent time as the Federal Member for Solomon, and was until just a few days ago the Health and Housing Minister for the Northern Territory government. Until he was sacked.
Chief Minister Terry Mills stripped Tollner of his portfolios and told him to move to the backbench. The rumours abound. Did Dave Tollner throw budget papers at Terry Mills during a pre budget party meeting? Does Dave want to be the Chief Minister and that's why Mills has demoted one of his most senior colleagues?
The Country Liberal party have been in office for just over 6 months and today the Chief Minister Terry Mills has announced his 3rd cabinet reshuffle.
Dave Tollner says he sees the backbench as an "enormous opportunity." His answers to my questions are well worth listening to.

Is Ted Cruz eligible to be president?
posted at 12:20 pm on January 8, 2013 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: "Liberals to discover strange new respect for 'Natural Born' Clause circa 2016/2020."
The newly sworn-in Texas senator and rising Republican star was born in Canada, to a mother who was born in Delaware and Cuban father. That's triggered a debate about whether he's eligible for the nation's highest office — nevermind that he's been in Congress less than a week.
While there's no legal precedent for Cruz's situation, most constitutional scholars surveyed by POLITICO believe the 42-year-old tea party sensation would be OK. But there's just enough gray area to stoke controversy, as Cruz learned during his campaign for Senate last year…
"Ted is a U.S. citizen by birth, having been born in Calgary to an American-born mother," said Cruz spokesman Sean Rushton, who declined to elaborate on the matter, saying his boss is focused on his work ahead in the Senate…
"He's a birthright citizen but his birthright citizenship derives from his parents, and the question is, does that fit with the definition of natural born citizen?" added University of Pennsylvania law professor Kermit Roosevelt. "I think it does."
Why should the presidency uniquely be limited to natural-born citizens when other important government positions aren't? Give me an argument on the merits, not just "because the Constitution says so." As a measure of loyalty, the Natural Born Clause is weak; there are plenty of naturalized citizens whom I'd trust to act in America's interest before I'd trust certain natural-borns. And as far as I know, virtually every other sensitive federal job — Congress, military, intelligence — is open to U.S. citizens who were born elsewhere. Why would you be willing to promote a guy to, say, four-star general or director of national intelligence irrespective of birthplace but not to C-in-C?

Where is the Mississippi River made of ketchup?

Why does Maine get to be bacon?
When did Michigan start looking like Florida?
I would have put the sesame seeds in place of major cities/towns.
I see Canada got hungry and ate Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

See, that's how it's done.
Its a burger in the shape of America. Whats not to like? Im in for one.
For those of you wondering about what happened to Michigan, haven't you ever seen those disclaimers that all the major burger chains put out? It usually goes something like this:
Try McDonalds new 1/2 pounder!*

Simply put, Michigan shrank after the cooking process.
Or maybe someone missing one of their front teeth took a bite out of Michigan.
As a proud resident of the colony of the District of Columbia, I gotta quibble with the description of DC as a toy. Ain't no toy. Toys don't have to put up with taxation without representation. And our sauce is waaay special.

I love that all of the Michiganders are coming out of hiding. We put up with a lot of crap in our state, but the one thing we won't stand for is being grossly misrepresented on a t-shirt showing our nation as a massive hamburger. You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Interesting move. Maybe Mes starts out in AAA.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
He seems to be an photo negative version of Hanigan. He almost never walks but homers and drives in runs.
I would be very happy if this is for a minor league contract and he is this year's Navarro.
Lots of power, but an extreme mistake hitter. generally has no idea what is coming. I had him on my fantasy team two years ago.
I generally do NOT like catchers like that. I don't care about the guy's power I want him to recognize pitches so he can also recognize when he's behind the plate. There may not be a direct correlation, but in my head there is.
I got a new low, All 52 cards in a row.
I really like this move. And it sounds like it's close to being a done deal.
I thought the catching depth was a bit thin. What if Mesoraco still isn't ready to provide quality production at the MLB level? What if Hanigan or Mesoraco get hurt? The next best option would have been Nevin Ashley (who?) or Corky Miller.
Getting a proven MLB catcher like Olivo would be big, IMO. And he's got some very-good pop; could really thrive hitting in GABP coming from Seattle's huge park.
LIke it. It would be a mistake to have Mes riding the bench for another season. Better for him to play regularly in AAA, catching Cingrani, Corcino et al.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Corky won't hit, but he's at least as good at handling pitchers as Hanigan, maybe better. Olivo is fodder. Maybe switching leagues helps him, but i doubt it. Dude hit 19 HR's and 19 doubles in 2011 and STILL had a sub .700 OPS.
I got a new low, All 52 cards in a row.
Mods may want to sticky this for a day or so

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
I'm guessing Olivo starts the season at AAA. His bat really went south in Seattle but, of course, it's a tough ballpark. His OBP and K/BB numbers are fairly awful, but his power has been good -- except the last two seasons.
I view Olivo as good depth, but I'm guessing Devin M still makes the club and Olivo begins at Louisville.
Does anyone actually think that Olivo is going to be on the REDS roster and not in Louisville playing platoon with Corky?

Perhaps, we're going back to the three catcher circus that worked so well for us back in '06.
That Joey Votto is some kind of Man Candy!
"For them to boo me like that, it lets me know they dream about me at night. -- Brandon Phillips on Cards fans.
At the very least, this is on par with the Dioner Navarro signing last year and that turned out very well. And the Reds were extremely fortunate that they didn't have any serious injuries at the catcher position, or Navarro would have been needed a lot more. Point being: you usually need 3 legit catchers to make it through an MLB season if you're a contender. The Reds now have three.
I like.
(And to be clear, I'm talking about only 2 of them at a time on the MLB roster and one in AAA. None of this 3 catchers on the 25-man roster stuff. Haha.)
I guess it's an ok depth move, but i don't care how much the 3rd and 4th catchers hit, I care about how they handle pitching staffs. Miller has a great rep. Olivo, not as much.
I'd put him 4th on the chart... at best.
I got a new low, All 52 cards in a row.

Placing the correct size rug in your space is as important as choosing the right color or pattern. A rug that it is too small will shift the balance of the room unfavorably. A rug that is too big, especially in open floor plans, may put the area designations off. There are a few rules of thumb, but a picture says it better. Use these handy guides by Interior Designer Lisa Ferguson to make the best choice.
