Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Polk County Records Inventory
Probate Estate Records
Series documents information recorded about estates probated in the county or circuit courts. Information includes deceased party's name; recording and death dates; residence; name and address of executors, administrators, or trustees; estimated values of real and personal property; inventory and appraisal dates; the estate's value according to the appraisals and to the county court; and the names and relationship of heirs. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases.
Records at the Oregon State Archives:
Probate Estate Account Ledger, 1851-1897 (1 volume);
Probate Estate Record, 1903-1925 (1 volume).

Hi there,
Has anyone tried telephone coaching to complement in-class training for busy business execs? (Not "telephone english", aka. telephone skills, BUT using telephone as a medium of conversational practise)
I'm looking for a good conversational English book with interesting, short units to base my phone coaching on. Wonder if any of you here have anything to recommend?

text: IMO go to the range try some different guns out and pick what works for you. But the gun that I would choose would be a Glock, the reason why is you have the option of full size, compact and sub compact. Glock reputation is incredible and you have people that love Glocks and hate Glocks but at the end of the day they have to admit the gun is reliable the reputation speaks for itself. You also can change the magazine capacity in your Glock for example, with a Glock 19 you can use the 15rd mag, 17rd mag and 33rd mag in that gun depending on the state you live in and what that state laws allow. Glocks also has a variety of different calibers to choose from 9mm, 40Ss&w, 357sig, 45cal. In my opinion Glocks has it all when it comes to handguns it's the black belt of handguns. Just my two cents on this topic I know some may disagree but Glocks work for me, may not for others but for me Glocks rock.

Across America on two wheels
Man bikes cross-country to promote sustainability
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | August 02. 2013 8:08PM
Rob Greenfield shows his bamboo bicycle he pedaled on a cross-country bike ride. (Bill Smith/Union Leader)
The trip began April 20, in San Francisco and rolled into New Hampshire last week after a bicycle trek from Boston to Nashua. On Saturday night, he completed the leg from Nashua to Manchester, where he spent much of the 100th day of his journey at Arms Park, sitting by the Merrimack River while his water jug filled with water leaking from a fire hydrant several blocks away at the Manchester YMCA.
The idea of a trip across the country to demonstrate the ability to survive while using fewer natural resources was born of a month Greenfield spent living off the land in Hawaii on $750.
"I would be living off the grid, not using elecricity from on the grid, not using water from on the grid not buying packaged food," Greenfield said. "The idea was to take something of a step backward, not to the caveman days but to the point where we weren't wasting our resources so much."
"I had only a 40-degree sleeping bag and it got down to 18 degrees," Greenfield said. "I would make a fire in an aluminum pan and bring the coals into my tent with me."
"You have this flatland in front of you and you're looking at it and thinking 'I can pedal that' but the wind just pushes you backward," he said. Greenfield's bicycle pulled a small bike trailer in which he kept his supplies, including two solar panels used to power a laptop computer.
His journey across Iowa was done with the bicycle seat removed to "stand up for sustainability." He spent no money across Pennsylvania under the slogan "Penniless in Pennsylvania" to highlight the benefits of re-use over disposability.
For most of the trip, his drinking water came from rivers, ponds and rainwater — aided by a $375 portable water purification device.
From Manchester, Greenfield was to set off on the final 150-mile leg of his journey, with arrival in Waitsville, Vt. on Thursday.
Reflecting on the trip on a warm summer day, Greenfield said he hoped that by writing and blogging about it, he would inspire some to roll back their consumption of non-recyclables and waste of natural resources.

So if I post entries out of sequence, forgive me. I will try to piece things together for you all in good time.
Family legend says that my 3rd great-grandmother, Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Sapp, married the older Charles Harrison Richards, to escape her "wicked step-mother." I am fully aware of the family frictions that can produce stories that are handed down to children that may not be entirely true. But there was a step-mother. And there was a very young bride. As a family researcher, I like to be aware of all of the family legends in order to make up my own mind about whether or not that skeleton in the closet is really there!
From a family tree researched by Kathy (Probably Katherine Ann Sapp) on Family TreeMaker.com the Sapp line to my ancestor runs as follows:
Ancestors of Mary Sapp (6)
1) John Sapp, born 1640 in Allegany Co.,
2) John Sapp, born 1672 in Allegany Co.,
3) Henry Sapp, born 1698 in Kent Co.,
4) Benjamin Sapp first appeared in
5) John Sapp, born about 1764 in
6) Mary Elizabeth Polly Sapp, born July 30, 1797 in Atlanta, Georgia and died 1879 in Buena Vista, Shelby County, Texas. She married Charles Harrison Richards in
The Sapp line gets a little hard to understand past Mary and her parents and her father's 2nd and 3rd wives. I will share what I have found in the different family trees online and from conversations with other distant cousins. But I must emphasize that you need to research this family and come to your own best conclusions, as I have no documentation on the family Sapp. I do know that Mary Sapp and Charles Richards are my ancestors because of family records matching the information from others.
I have been in communication with a Richards descendant who is from the area of
Our John Sapp, Mary's father, was a watchmaker and silversmith in
Some say that John left one
Mary's siblings are listed as:
- Thomas Sapp, born August 1803, died between 1860-1870,
Stokes County, North Carolina*
- Benajah Joan Sapp, born 1801, died 1887, Shelby County, Texas
- Stratford Henry Sapp, born January 1, 1802,
, died August 4, 1865 Cooke County, Texas
- John Sapp, III
- Hilliard Sapp, born 1811 in
, died about 1854 Tennessee
- Benjamin Harrison Sapp, born May 9, 1813,
Rhea County, Tennessee, died December 17, 1863, Mobile, Alabama
- Alexander Sapp*
- Serena Sapp*
John Sapp was gone from
CORRECTION: On June 13, a descendant of Stratford H. Sapp (brother of my Mary Elizabeth Polly Sapp Richards) wrote the following:
*My original files do indeed have his death date listed as March 12, 1884, and show only 6 siblings:
Mary Elizabeth "Polly" Sapp
Benajah (Benager) Johann Sapp
Stratford Henry Sapp
John Sapp
Hilliard Sapp
Benjamin Harrison Sapp
I appreciate all comments and corrections.

psst - i think that middle one may actually be a bunny in disguise...
Don't I have this shirt?
this looks really familiar...
I swear to almighty Zeus, the only thing that keeps me from facepalming myself into next week is the write-up.
there are 5 penguins
I'm pretty sure this artist ripped off that guy who did Impostor.
musicshark32 wrote:psst - i think that middle one may actually be a bunny in disguise...
You mean we haven't seen penguins playing a game of "one of these things is not like the other" on a shirt before? No way.
Wow. Apparently even the Woot Write-up Guy thinks ramyb has jumped the shark.
Great, now I have this song in my head. THANKS, Woot.
easy instant purchase. Goes well with my other one and my Carnivorous rabbit shirt.
Relative to anyone who actually uses the iPod earbuds, a Walkman-user is definitely cool. Those buds are so bad.
If a Walkman is cooler than an iPod, then how cool does that make a phonograph?
*Insert variation of the joke every person is going to tell*
"CONDITION: Eerily similar"
But not enough to get rejected???
ewwww Yankees and Red Wings... yeah, birds of a feather...
On a more serious note, woot approves (I assume) the write ups. If woot is of the opinion that this shirt is too similar or derivative of Impostor...why the f didn't they just reject it to begin with?
For those of you who might of missed it, the artist bio with the line up is typically preceeded by the more explicit form of "darned."
Which may also imply that the arist sold his soul to get this print.
Did that middle penguin just say radical? I thought we agreed that nobody was to say that word ever again.
Serious question: Biologically, are penguins even able to do that mohawk thing? I didn't picture their feathers being that long or sculptable.
I thought this printed once or twice already...
Reminds me of the classic Far Side comic.
The write-up was indeed funny. It's also frustrating that it more or less confirms that the "similar shirts exist" rule has absolutely no rhyme nor reason to its application.
tjsynkral wrote:Wow. Apparently even the Woot Write-up Guy thinks ramyb has jumped the shark.
he jumped a bunny in a shark costume
Jumpin on dis bandwagon!
JadenKale wrote:I thought this printed once or twice already...
Totes different. The penguin is clearly not a dryad.
Tip: Next derby, vote for every shirt in the fog but this one for an equivalent -1 vote. I say this because we all know this will happen again.
I can't tell if this writeup is indicative of an internal struggle, or just an honest commitment to democracy over personal beliefs?
I like to think it's the latter. Stay strong, Woot, I've got your back.
jmmbell1987 wrote:Totes different. The penguin is clearly not a dryad.
Also, note how the two tees linked were made by his girlfriend.
This is what happens when you forget to ban Penguins!
Next derby please just ban animals all-together to get a really challenging and fun derby.
Darquis wrote:I'm pretty sure this artist ripped off that guy who did Impostor.
... Imposter was a collaboration by ramyb and sekiyoku. Just fyi.
Ramyb probably jumped the shark a little with this either way.
The outline with one taller penguin in the middle reminds me of something - is there a hidden message?
oh what, I was so busy facepalming at the impostorness, I didn't notice. what are those music players even clipped onto?!
fancy schmancy headphones with a walkman... please.
Wear this shirt: On the days when the other shirt that's exactly like it is in the wash.
oh you woot writers...you make me smile and wash my frustration away with your witty repartee. i <3 you.
Friday - the day to rejoice that the weekend is soon here! Then to see this. How disappointing when so many other designs were refreshingly more original.
Perhaps the legions of voters who purport to like this style really do not care if their friends/family/co-workers think they are wearing the same shirt day in and day out.
The bright spot on shirt.woot today is the write up. A glimmer of hope that the truth is out there. somewhere.
JadenKale wrote:twice
Wow, I never ever would have thought of that one as being similar at all. You haters go a bit too far sometimes.

True, especially since they've done it before.
Maybe they let it fly only so they could do this little write-up and make him feel as unwelcome as possible so that he stops submitting.
In my rage I didn't read the shirt description. It made me happier. I suggest everyone read it and enjoy it.
I like how the one rabbit stands out from the others. He really is the cool rabbit.
That writeup was hilarious.
I'm curious to see how many actually sell. Will people actually buy it, or do they just vote for the cutesy design and move on along?

Kristin Ostby, editor at Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, has signed soccer star Alex Morgan, a member of the U.S. Women's Olympic gold medal-winning team, to write a middle-grade series called the Kicks. Centering on a group of soccer-playing best friends, the series, Ostby says, will show that "sports are such an integral part of girls' lives – as much as friends and boys."
The pitch came to S&S shortly after Morgan scored the game-winning goal against Canada in the Olympic semi-finals on August 6. "I'm a fan of women's soccer and had been following Alex long before this project came along," Ostby says. Morgan, 23, is a forward for the Seattle Sounders Women and was the youngest U.S. player at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The first book in the Kicks series is scheduled for summer 2013, with at least two more books to follow. Eric Simonoff at William Morris Endeavor Entertainment brokered the deal for world English and audio rights.

Well, when my 13 year old son, Erik, came to me after Halloween last and wanted to to be Boba Fett, I thought, "Okay, this should be an interesting project for us to do."
Whoa Nellie ! I thought this would be a simple costume you get at Toys R Us and call it a day. Well, I could never have done it without websites like this, folks like TK409 and good vendors. I made a few mistakes along the way, being ignorant of recasters and such. And we're nearly done except for a bit here and there. I can still remember, one November evening, reading that,"Boba Fett is considered the most detailed and perhaps difficult costume to assemble," and wondering what I had gotten myself into.
So with some gauntlet work left to do, a hose attachment, a few jet pack adjustments, this 14 year old will be looking good for his Halloween expedition. I just wanted to drop a note of thanks to the folks here and to the website administrator. Ultimately, I've looked great in this kid's eyes because of how nicely it's all come together. He's worked to pay for about half of the costume parts, learned sanding and dremelling, and more. More importantly, he's met about three Fett's in the last year. Each one took time to chat with and help him (and me). Good examples all.
And lastly, no, we didn't go with an authentic Fett rifle because it is Halloween and he's still a kid.

Good afternoon!
I know that not all here subscribe to the idea of literal rebirth, and that is ok, but for those who do how can a very diligent practitioner who fails to realize liberation in this life be confident that in the next life that the practice will be continued? Is it theorized that the conditioning good dhamma practice will flow into the next life? I understand to "not be concerned with grasping for enlightenment", etc. so please save yourself the time (requested with respect and warm heartedness). I am just curious how this may be understood.

Remember, on sailboats, one of the most important factors when it comes to shifting gearsespecially on larger boatsis communication among the speed team, that is the trimmers, the driver, and the tactician. All of these people need to be aware of what is happening or what the goals are in particular situations. For instance, the tactician needs to know if the boat is at max trim in a close, port-starboard situation, because if it's not, he or she may want the sails sheeted to cross the other boat, or eased out to duck it.
The first critical adjustment for these conditionstuning the rigshould take place even before leaving the dock. Your boat's tuning guide (obtained from your sailmaker, class association, or boatbuilder) and whatever notes you've taken while practicing should indicate the best rig settings for light air, so make sure you've got this covered. The next call is which sails to use. Depending on what kind of boat you are campaigning, you may have the latitude of selecting different headsails and downwind sails for the day's activities. Obviously for a light-air day, you should think about bringing an appropriate spinnaker, not the heavy air 1.5-ounce kite. And you might want to leave any heavy air jibs on the dock and instead bring the light jib and an AP (all-purpose headsail) if that's an option.
Now let's fast-forward to the start. The brain trust in the back of the boat has gotten your team off to a perfect start, you've got a clean lane at the favored end with full speed on your way to the favored side of the racecourse. In these light and variable conditions, the headsail trimmer is always on the job, sitting in to leeward, at the winch, with the sheet in hand, not in the cleat or the self-tailer. It's important that he or she constantly provide feedback to the helmsman and tactician while making minor adjustments in sail trim according to the demands of the situation. This can make the difference between preserving your spot among the leaders and sucking bad air back in the cheap seats.
As you sail along, your boat speed starts to drop and the headsail begins to luff slightly as the angle of heel begins to decrease. All these are signs that the apparent wind is going forward, meaning that you're sailing into less pressure, which is like starting to climb a hill in a car. OK, it's time to downshift. The jib trimmer or tactician should communicate to the rest of the afterguard that the boat is sailing into less pressure. Then, working in unison with the mainsail trimmer and the driver, he or she can begin to get the boat moving as fast as possible.
Trimmer Tim: "We're losing pressure and slowing down, I'm going to give you a slight ease."
Driver Dave: "OK, keep us moving."
Tactician Tina: "Yeah, we'll need the speed because we want to tack in the next two minutes."
Trimmer Tim: "All right, I'm eased three inches and the speed is beginning to come back."
In extreme situations, where the wind has dropped drastically, you may want to ease the headsail halyard tension and the backstay as well as move the sheet lead forward. If you make these adjustments, make sure all of this is communicated to the driver and tactician. Knowing how much the boat has slowed down and how much the wind has decreased will determine the amount of ease needed to get the boat back up to speed. Once the boat is going well enough to resume normal upwind angles for the new conditions, and the tactical situation permits, the headsail trimmer should begin sheeting in and telling his cockpit partners that he's getting it back to maximum upwind trim.
The second possibility in these conditions is an increase in pressure, which would be like starting down a hill in a car. An increase in pressure, when racing upwind, usually allows a boat to sail closer to the wind. When building pressure comes down the course and gets to your boat, the outer tell tales may begin to lift, indicating that the course your driver is steering is too low. There's usually about a two-second delay before the crew on the rail begins to yell: "You're heavy, head up!" Remember, a big change of course made rapidly in light conditions will result in a dramatic loss of boat speed, so don't let the driver over-steer in these situations.
Before the driver begins heading up, keep in mind that when the outer tell tales luff, it's also an indication that the sail might be over-trimmed. The headsail trimmer (sitting with the sheet in hand, ready to react) should communicate to the driver that he or she will ease the sail three inches, or whatever amount is necessary, to make the tell tales flow evenly again. This is when you start shifting into a higher gear to go down the hill. As the boat speed begins to increase, the driver can begin to head up toward the proper upwind angle and the trimmer can begin sheeting the headsail back to max trim. Remember, communication with the driver while sheeting will keep that person from heading up too far. Once again, the headsail halyard and backstay tension may also need to be adjusted for the increased pressure.
If there's one thing you can be sure of out on the racecourse it's that the wind is constantly changing, so you have no excuses for not practicing the technique of shifting gears. The next time you're out sailing upwind in light air, take a moment to sit down to leeward and start making some subtle adjustments in sail trim. If you pay attention to the tell tales and the boatspeed while you're doing this, you'll eventually develop a feel for how much ease is enough when the wind drops and how much trim is necessary when a puff hits. Good luck and good sailing.

It's been five years since Hiccup and Toothless successfully united dragons and vikings on the island of Berk. While Astrid, Snotlout and the rest of the gang are challenging each other to dragon races (the island's new favorite contact sport), the now inseparable pair journey through the skies, charting unmapped territories and exploring new worlds. When one of their adventures leads to the discovery of a secret ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace. Now, Hiccup and Toothless must unite to stand up for what they believe while recognizing that only together do they have the power to change the future of both men and dragons.

The IPCC sea level numbers
The sea level rise numbers published in the new IPCC report (the Fourth Assessment Report, AR4) have already caused considerable confusion. Many media articles and weblogs suggested there is good news on the sea level issue, with future sea level rise expected to be a lot less compared to the previous IPCC report (the Third Assessment Report, TAR). Some articles reported that IPCC had reduced its sea level projection from 88 cm to 59 cm (35 inches to 23 inches) , some even said it was reduced from 88 cm to 43 cm (17 inches), and there were several other versions as well (see "Broad Irony"). These statements are not correct and the new range up to 59 cm is not the full story. Here I will try to clarify what IPCC actually said and how these numbers were derived. (But if you want to skip the details, you can go straight to the critique or the bottom line).
What does IPCC say?
The Summary for Policy Makers (SPM) released last month provides the following table of sea level rise projections:
(m at 2090-2099 relative to 1980-1999)
excluding future rapid dynamical
changes in ice flow
It is this table on which the often-cited range of 18 to 59 cm is based. The accompanying text reads:
• Model-based projections of global average sea level rise at the end of the 21st century (2090-2099) are shown in Table SPM-3. For each scenario, the midpoint of the range in Table SPM-3 is within 10% of the TAR model average for 2090-2099. The ranges are narrower than in the TAR mainly because of improved information about some uncertainties in the projected contributions15. {10.6}.
Footnote 15: TAR projections were made for 2100, whereas projections in this Report are for 2090-2099. The TAR would have had similar ranges to those in Table SPM-3 if it had treated the uncertainties in the same way.
• Models used to date do not include uncertainties in climate-carbon cycle feedback nor do they include the full effects of changes in ice sheet flow, because a basis in published literature is lacking. The projections include a contribution due to increased ice flow from Greenland and Antarctica at the rates observed for 1993-2003, but these flow rates could increase or decrease in the future. For example, if this contribution were to grow linearly with global average temperature change, the upper ranges of sea level rise for SRES scenarios shown in Table SPM-3 would increase by 0.1 m to 0.2 m. Larger values cannot be excluded, but understanding of these effects is too limited to assess their likelihood or provide a best estimate or an upper bound for sea level rise. {10.6}
• If radiative forcing were to be stabilized in 2100 at A1B levels, thermal expansion alone would lead to 0.3 to 0.8 m of sea level rise by 2300 (relative to 1980–1999). Thermal expansion would continue for many centuries, due to the time required to transport heat into the deep ocean. {10.7}
• Contraction of the Greenland ice sheet is projected to continue to contribute to sea level rise after 2100. Current models suggest ice mass losses increase with temperature more rapidly than gains due to precipitation and that the surface mass balance becomes negative at a global average warming (relative to pre-industrial values) in excess of 1.9 to 4.6°C. If a negative surface mass balance were sustained for millennia, that would lead to virtually complete elimination of the Greenland ice sheet and a resulting contribution to sea level rise of about 7 m. The corresponding future temperatures in Greenland are comparable to those inferred for the last interglacial period 125,000 years ago, when paleoclimatic information suggests reductions of polar land ice extent and 4 to 6 m of sea level rise. {6.4, 10.7}
• Dynamical processes related to ice flow not included in current models but suggested by recent observations could increase the vulnerability of the ice sheets to warming, increasing future sea level rise. Understanding of these processes is limited and there is no consensus on their magnitude. {4.6, 10.7}

After researching various places, my girlfriend and I are looking to teach English in China in Summer 2013.
We are English and live in the UK, I graduated in 2010 and am currently a teacher, my girlfriend graduates in June. Neither of us have any TEFL qualifications.
We have been contacted already by bogus recruiters etc, and have had a mixed response so far.
Basically, is it a disadvantage to look to get jobs as a couple, or do schools look favorably due to accommodation etc? We would ideally want to teach in schools close by or at the same school.
We are looking for any information in regards to teaching as a couple, and any specific schools/recruiters that look for couples without expecting a fee.
Many thanks
James & Emily

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If the center of effort of the sailplan is too far forward, the boat will try and round down first and then the leeway force on the keel will make the boat stand up and hook to windward (not exactly the same as a sail induced round up). The center of effort of both the sailplan and the keel must be in balance or you will have problems with rounding.
The newer harken furlers use the furling drum body as the turnbuckle. One lock nut is below the drum and another is beneath the torque tube. You need to detach the torque tube and raise the foil, release the locknuts then put a pair of vice grips (with a cloth between the jaws) on the swage of the shroud terminal. Then you rotate the furling drum to adjust the length of the forestay. The threads on the upper stud have dye-chem on the threads at the point where you should stop loosening it to have enough remaining threads into the drum. Go to the gear and maintenance forum and read about tuning the rig; if you have more questions you can post them here.
You might consider 3M 4200-UV for the window sealant.
Haven't started the windows yet -- waiting for the weather (and the boat) to dry up. looking on the Sikaflewx website, it loos like they recommend having something to protect the compond from UV exposure, usually a plastic strip or something. Not sure how I would implement this.
Thanks for the info. I find this very interesting -- I don't claim to know much about boat dynamics, but it seems to me that moving the center of pressure rearward by adding rake would increase the tendency to pivot about the keel (larger moment arm), increase weatherhelm, and cause the rudder to stall (and a roundup) earlier. Not disputing that it works, I'm just trying to understand what's going on...
I have Harken roller reefing, and a split backstay with tensioner. I'm not sure what length adjustments I have.
You can use SikaFlex; probably a good choice for this application. Where are you at with this job? I was in a similar situation when I bought my 41 5 years ago. Lots of expensive work done to the boat but needed some brightwork and going through.
On the issue of rounding up violently; try adding some rake to the mast. If you don't know how to do this I can give you some pointers. I had the same trouble with my 41 and the way I fixed it was by adding rake and bend which moved the center of effort aft. The forestay turnbuckle was almost all the way closed when I started making adjustment and a hanging halyard showed almost no aft rake or bend. When I finished I had almost 2' of combined aft rake/bend to a 55' mast. That's only a couple of degrees angle but it made a huge difference. The boat now sails balanced in almost all wind conditions without a reef unless it is gusting or it is above 25kts.
|Thanks, I'll look more closely at the rubber. Did you pull out all of the rubber in chunks, or just the part to the sides of the plexi? Seems like if you pull it all out, there would be nothing to set the plexi position in the groove. There's a polyurathane sealant called Sikaflex that's used for mounting car windows that experimental aircraft builders use for mounting plexi canopies that I'm thinking might work well for this.
|on my newport 30 I had the window leaks. It was coming through the rubber. I pulled out the rubber gasket and filled the space with black calk life. I smoothed it down to look like the rubber gasket, as I could not get it back in. Anyways the leaks are gone. The water was getting past the rubber and then coming through the wndow pane itself where it is held in place by the frame.
It's mine!
So, I bought it Dec 1. So far, I'm really pretty happy. I really like the layout and feel of the cabin (and all the teak), the cockpit size and layout, how its equipped for the most part. Have only been out a few times (either raining or no wind this time of year), but it sails great in light conditions. Have been working on cleaning up a few things: saloon table -- replaced the hinges with heavier SS and widened the split leg, making it much more stable (used cherry and stained it to match as teak is $30/bd-ft (!!) and hard to come by in small pieces around here); glued various bits of broken teak trim; Fixed the AC outlets that all had hot and neutral reversed; added GFCIs; bought a new water heater to replace the long-dead one, but haven't started that yet. The biggest issue are the various leaks -- rain is getting in around the port saloon windows (I think) and somewere in the V berth. This spring I'll pull the windows and rebed them, but I need to figure out if its getting through the rubber or bedding. Not sure what to do if its the rubber; the aluminum frames are one piece of extrusion formed around the plexi and molded gasket. Looks like you'd have to bend the frame open to get at the rubber gasket. Am thinking of doing the shop vac and bagging trick to chase down the leaks. The stove burners work, but the oven's dead, needing both a new control valve and mercury valve. Not sure that's worth fixing; only remanufacturing is available for my CNG parts ($$). The wiring is the patchwork mess I guess you'd expect on a 27 yr old boat, but its got a nice charger, and all the lighting works (found out the masthead and steaming lights were replaced with LED units). Chasing the wiring isn't easy with the full liner. Lots of smallish projects to do, but there don't seem to be any big problems, so I think I did pretty well.
Hellosailor -- What's a VPP?
sailorpilot. sight unseen it sounds like the po has been paying attention to the big things (sails, rigging) and that's usually a good sign. Whether the stove works isn't a stopper, you may have just missed a safety shut-off switch or a valve, in any case that's "just plumbing" of the repairable sort.
Reefing and heading up by 20 knots is also not unusual. If you can get hold of the VPPs for that boat from another owner, or in the worst case buy them from USSA, you'll get a better idea of what are the optimum points to reef at. The loft that made the last set of sails may also have some ideas and experience on that. MANY boats actually heel less and sail faster with a first reef in the main and jib down to 100% by 15 knots or so. How the N33 compares, I don't know, you'd have to ask around but it sounds reasonable.
|First time boat buyers are in my opinion the hardest to please, their expectations can be unreasonable. I have seen more than one buyer pass on a great boat because of these expectations only to come back a month or so latter after veiwing other boats hoping to secure the original one that had been snapped up shortly after they pulled out of the deal.
|So did how does the story end?
Yes, I'm trying to get through the buyer's remorse before I commit... I've looked at Catalina 30s, various Islanders, even a Westsail 32 partnership (wasn't much fun on the bay), plus a lot of other boat ads I've checked out. The only comparable boat (33') is a Ranger 33 that showed up on Craigslist yesterday:
Ranger 33 Sailboat 1978
The new engine is enticing, along with the other new stuff. They seem to have a good rep, but the layout below doesn't look as nice. Also older.
Usually, as soon as I buy somthing all kinds of better deals show up...

Super-zoom digital cameras have been around for a long time, but it seems that recently most of the manufacturers are treading water with their designs, with only one or two models in their range and only updating them at irregular intervals with more powerful sensors and ever-longer zoom ranges. The only company that seems to put any effort into the super-zoom market is Fujifilm, which has no fewer than nine such cameras in its range, including the FinePix S2500HD, the outstanding FinePix S200 EXR and today's review camera, the new FinePix HS10.
The S200 EXR was always going to be a tough act to follow, so Fujifilm has pulled out all the stops and loaded the HS10 with every feature they could think of, including several new ones that are unique to this camera. Its basic specification is impressive to say the least. It has an amazingly powerful but very compact 30x zoom lens, the longest zoom range of any current camera, with a focal length range equivalent to 24-720mm, a maximum aperture of f/2.8-5.6 and manual zoom control. It has a 10.0-megapixel 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 3.0-inch 230k articulated monitor, a field-sequential 0.2-inch 200k resolution electronic viewfinder, and can shoot full 1080p HD video with stereo sound.
With most other manufacturers concentrating their development efforts on long-zoom compacts and new mirrorless system cameras the HS10 doesn't have a lot of direct competition. The newly announced Panasonic FZ100 offers full HD video and a 24x zoom lens, but its closest competitor is the 18-month-old Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, which features full HD video, stereo audio and an articulated monitor, but only has a 20x zoom lens. It's also about the same price. The Fuji HS10 is currently selling for around £399, but Fuji cameras tend to fall in price quite dramatically after a few months.

Now you're 'having a laugh', aren't you? The camera in the previous review go 9/10 for image quality. Sure, it was good for the price - but I thought that was what the 'value for money' category was for. Surely you don't load every category witha sort of 'value for money' weighting? Yes, I understand that the words in the review or important but the 'scores on the doors' are what's in the header, aren't they? and how many people will bother to read past them if a cheap pocket camera has a higher image quality rating than this, or if the rating for this is the same as some poorly performing Pentax?
I understand where you are coming from, but frankly I think it is time you reviewed this rating policy.
interesting review, cliff. i've been looking into fujifilm's super-zoom cameras recently, and don't really want to spend too much. i've been looking into the s1600, but there's only really one review on it. any chance it'll be reviewed on here soon?
Might be a dumb question - just bought this 2 days ago
after the review. I would in an ideal world like a great still camera and camcorder that does low light ok so I can travel with only one device.
Not sure whether to stick with the camcorder or should I have bought this camera with it's HD mode ?
I don't really need hi resolution for video as 1900 rez is ok for me, but I'm not photograph enthusiast neither. Perhaps I've been spoilt by my old FujiF31FD for low light still shots
Maybe I just need some reassurance that I purchased the right item of the two ..comments ?
Ye gods, that must be one heckuva stabilisation system if it lets you shoot handheld at 1/40 on 720mm equivalent (720mm... the mind boggles). This is some piece of kit.
@Splogbust: It's not just value for money, surely? Image quality has got to be related to the class of cameras a particular model is in. Otherwise nothing but a Hasselblad will get anywhere near 10, and most cheap point-and-shoots will be slugging it out in the 1s and 2s. I think most readers of a site like this will realise that, won't they?
Splogbust - Image quality is a combination of several factors, including overall detail, exposure accuracy, dynamic range, noise control, lens quality, colour reproduction and the presence or absence of compression artefacts. There's no simple way to numerically quantify it, and the score awarded is therefore necessarily subjective and also relative, with each camera being compared to other cameras of a similar type or in the same price bracket, so inevitably there is an element of 'value for money' involved. A camera costing £400 is expected to perform better than a camera costing £200, so if it doesn't then it will be marked down accordingly. It's also worth noting that a score of 7/10 is still a 'good' score, with 6/10 being 'average'.
The subjective nature of review scores means that inevitably some people will disagree with them, and in the 13 years that I have worked as a technology journalist it has been the single most common subject of reader letters. This is why we have this comments section, so that you can have your say, and we can explain and hopefully justify our opinions. If you have a suggestion as to how the image quality score could be made more accurate I'd certainly be very happy to hear it.
AJ10 - I'm hoping to get the S1600 in for review very soon; watch this space!
Cliff - Thanks for the review. Too bad the HS10 wasn't as capable when it came to image quality as it was with most of it's other features.
But I wanted to correct you on one point. You say that the HS10 has "the longest zoom range of any current camera", that "Its focal length range equivalent to 24-720mm is bigger than anything else on the market". But you seem to be forgetting about the Olympus SP-800UZ that also has a 30x optical zoom lens, with a focal lenght range equivalent to 28-840mm. Just thought I'd remind you..
Have a good one!
I understand the points raised by Lensman and Cliff. However, the images produced by a camera are just images and as far as 'image quality' is concerned do not become magically better because the camera that produced them was cheaper or of a different type. There is an interesting site, DXOMark, which carries comparisons of cameras based on their raw output and the differences are indeed staggering but that is probably a closer reflection of reality - shame they can't do something similar with the processed JPEG image.
I will probably have to replace my camera soon and frankly it's no use to me that these scores are weighted by price / type of camera. I could easily be fooled into buying a cheaper / different type of camera because it has a 'higher image quality' rating whereas in reality I could have much better image quality perhaps by paying more and the price may well be still affordable or buying a different type of camera.
I would certainly prefer something that would slip nicely into my shirt pocket but if I knew the true image quality difference, as opposed to this weighted version, were so great I would forgo the convenience for the sake of getting better pictures. I'd hate to be stuck with an 'inferior' camera just because it was good for it's price and type.....
No, unfortunately I don't have an immediate answer of how it should be done, but will think about it. However, I doubt if marks out of 10 is the way to go as if these things 'continue to improve' then the meaning of the scale may need to be revised regularly.
Sorry to go on and on:
what is not clear to me here on TR (I may have missed it) is what category / type / price range individual cameras are being measured in / against. Perhaps further clarity in this would be a way of silencing the usual questions about what it all means....
maybe good way to help is add some caption above the scoring, for this one, something like: the score is subject to prosumer bridge camera(well, I do not know what catogory it belong to)
so for the previous samsung st70. maybe the score is subject to consumer compact camera. so everytime people view it, they have an idea how the score compare to others
splogbust: If you feel so strongly about it, then may I suggest you ignore the image scores, and instead look at photos taken with that camera that are helpfully included in the review - usually the same scene each time - and draw your own conclusions. That is probablty the easiest solution ;-)
Personally, I don't know why fuji keep on releasing S series cameras with next to worthless sensors. 1/2.3" was always going to give rubbish image quality.
Finally after a long wait, the review of Fujifilm HS10 finally appear in TR. After reading thoroughly, I agree with what Mr. Cliff Smith revealed in his review.
I actually owned this camera and have been using it for 2 months now and all the weakness that Cliff highlights are actually the same issue that I experienced with this camera.
The EVF is totally disappointing and there is nothing great about the image quality if compared to other cameras in the same league. I used Panasonic FZ28 last year, bought it after reading the review in here. On broad daylight outdoor the image quality is very good but indoor and in low light situation, I think it's kind of average - thus I can understand why the Image Quality points given by Cliff is only 7 out 10 and I totally agree with that rating.
About the in-depth lens analysis, I don't know much about that, I'm just an amateur or rather a beginner but it's really a joy to be able to go from 24mm to 720mm in just a single lens. As for the auto focus, again I agree, I personally feel it's a little slow.
The handling is awesome, from January to May this year I was using Canon DSLR EOS-1000D and when I start using this Fujifilm HS10 by end of May, I feel like I'm still using a DSLR without the need to change lens.
I love all the features and the handling of this Fujifilm HS10 and I can swallow all the weaknesses as well. If there is 1 thing that I want badly is a bigger and better EVF or even better, an Optical View Finder.
You can read my amateur review in here =
As for the point/rating systems, it's an old unique issue and it's never easy to find "the perfect solution" to pleased everyone as different sites may have different approached but I personally prefer to read the review thoroughly rather then just make my decision after barely looking at the final point/rating given by the reviewer.
After all, the reviewer have put in their effort to write the review, so might as well we read it.
I'm planning to get Panasonic LX3 as my 2nd camera but now since Panasonic will release LX5, I might as well wait a little while - this time I will wait till I read the review in TR before I buy it - just like I did before I bought FZ28.
feel strongly? Not really, it's not the end of the world after all.
The scores are useful for narrowing the choice down. Having done that, one can, as you say look at the photos provided here, but I also use other sites which then provides a greater range of examples / conditions - one for example includes a longish exposure night shot. The interest in TR is that I, like many TR users, find Cliff's guidance on the subject invaluable. In my case I have not yet decided which type of camera to get and it's a balancing act between image quality, convenience, features etc. I don't really know where to start!
Absolute scores in these areas would help to narrow down the choice, but for those who know what category / price they intend to buy then these scores provide that initial guidance.
It's merely a bit frustrating;)
My suggestion
Short term - Make clear which sub section the camera being reviewed comes under. It's clear when you go into the historic data but not when reviewed.
Longer term - Have a top five. What does this mean? Camera reviews are of the moment so a Trusted Review rating in 2007 is not worth any thing in 2010. So at the end of each review show the current top 5 in that section with a hyperlink to those reviews. If the current camera replaces one of them, make it clear, if not it gets added to the history of the cameras Trusted Reviews has covered.
I think this solves the issues raised?
Trouble is when you start using tech reviews to compare products - you end up getting hung up on the tiniest details & differences between devices (because the reviewers HAVE to find & point out these differences) - but in reality you probably couldn't tell/wouldn't notice the difference in normal use anyway if it hadn't already been pointed out to you! Sometimes it makes the choice even harder!
I think to make it easy and to avoid future complains, just remove the rating and point system once and for all... hahahaha.... no matter how TR change it, I don't think it will pleased everybody anyway...
I prefer to read the review accordingly and those point/rating system is just an added bonus that I don't mind to skip...
As a suggestion, in the next camera review, if it is possible, I would hope that Cliff Smith and TR team to also include some suggestions about additional accessories or add-ons for the reviewed camera like lens tube, filters and conversion lens, external flash, view finder etc. (though this mostly applied to super zoom bridge camera and high end advance compact as well as DSLR) - then again this is just a mere suggestion...
Otherwise, I will still enjoy all the simple reviews in TR as it is now and look forward to read more review in the future.
To all in TR, keep up the good work...
p/s - when will that renovation work on the outside of the church/cathedral will be completed? hehehehe...
Does anyone have any comments about the camera itself? I can appreciate that some people have thoughts and concerns about the reviewing process, but this is a thread about a particular camera that I have a particular interest in. Let's try to shift the focus back to the camera, so that the discussion can benefit people considering the purchase of this camera.
I've had this camera for 2 days now. It's a mixed bag with image quality being my biggest concern. I had a 5MP Canon S2IS before the HS10 and when comparing pictures taken at the max zoom of each camera I am suprised that the S2IS seems to produce much sharper images with more vivid color when viewed at 100%. I'm still working through all the settings on the HS10 and may be able to produce better results with more customized settings, but in comparing to the S2IS with both cameras on full auto setting, the HS10 has me a little concerned.
Richard, I have used Panasonic FZ28 last year and I personally feel that the image quality of Fujifilm HS10 cannot matched the quality of Panasonic FZ28 and FZ38.... they are in the same league but HS10 have the longest zoom and plenty of more features.
So if you think your old Canon S2 IS can give better image quality at full telephoto than Fujifilm HS10, most probably you have good points there but overall, the image quality of HS10 is just good - but not great....
I am the user of Fujifilm HS10... I love all the features and yet feel annoyed with all the weakness of HS10 - but somehow, I can still love the HS10 due to the "DSLR-like" handling and operation method...
Good luck in exploring your new Fujifilm HS10.
Thanks for reviewing the HS10 camera Cliff. I almost bought one to replace my Canon 720 and was waiting for your review but in the meantime I tried one and read other reviews and forum posts. It seems to be a `love it or hate it' camera, loved by those who want extreme zoom. The weight put me off and the concerns about image quality. I was surprised too by the way when I changed a setting on the HS10 the screen was unusable for longer than I would expect due to large icons appearing. Yes, it's normal for icons to pop up when you change settings but these seemed obstructive and hung around too long. Or maybe the one I tried was odd.
I couldn't wait any longer for your review and decided instead, after much research, to go for the Canon G11 with its 1/1.7 sensor. and much lower weight (it still qualifies as a true compact and goes in my jacket pocket easily). I know it's only got 5x zoom but I don't need extreme zoom. In fact when I really do need it occasionally I can use the Canon Safety Zoom feature or simply take a 5x photo and crop the result to effectively `zoom' it.
As a fairly happy Fuji S100fs owner I'm wondering if the HS10 would be a worthwhile upgrade or am I being seduced by the 30x zoom and other features. The question really should be 'is the image quality of the HS10 as good as or better than that of the S100fs?' Care to comment Chris? Anyone else in a position to advise? Thanks
I think "carlos" is missing the point a bit,Superzooms have these small sensors in order to accomodate these big lenses,plus all their advanced features,in a compact body as possible.
Fit a bigger sensor,and the weight and size go up,removing one of the advantage of these superzooms.
And as for his comment about Fuji's S series cameras having "rubbish sensors",that is a puerile statement.Has he ever used a Fuji 602,a S7000,or a S9600? Or printed out any prints from a Fuji superzoom?
I have owned all of these cameras at some point,and they all produced many excellent,colourful A4 prints(even the 3mp S602!)
In fact Fuji's cameras regularly win awards from the photographic press,and the HS10 won an award for"Best Superzoom of 2010".Not bad for a camera with a "rubbish sensor""
Get real,Carlos,stop reading reviews,and go out and take some photos!
Hi, Cliff , good review but I just do not get it that you gave FZ40 a 9 in image quality and a 7 to this one, in my opinion it should be other way around.
Please mention image quality more thoroughly in your reviews, as you have said so ,after all it is a camera ,meant to take images, all else is secondary and point out the really bad things that the user might face with the product.
Please mention shot to shot time and there should be a table to compare at least 3 similar category products on the same page.
Please note all you Fuji HS10 Users.
I have just had my HS10 camera returned from Fuji UK who have installed the third,and latest,firmware update.It's that new it's not even on Fuji's website yet!
They have not listed the improvements it has made,(I have asked for more info)but the focussing is better,particularly at the long end of the zoom,and overall,it's feels more responsive.
This latest V3 update has made an alredy very good camera,even better,so get your camera up to speed,and contact FUJI UK ASAP!!!
100% novice here.
Having rooted around for a few weeks now I will be inesting in the FinePix HS10.
Intrigued by the technical updates, that I clearly know nothing about and resigned to the fact that the HS10 has no remote shutter release.
Have assumed that's an oversight which will be included in the next version they release.
Please can cliff or anyone whos used both recommend one of the hs10 or fuji s200exr for surfing/ sports photography predominantly? thanks. had sony a200 til stolen in canaries, now want either of the aforementioned as a one lens solution!

text: Okay... I have a few questions about pollination contracts.I have been beekeeping as a hobby for 16 years, now. I have 24 hives with 20 dedicated to the the Sourwood flow. Sourwood is a fairly profitable flow around here and I can usually gross $15,000/year off of these hives. here's what I'm interested in finding out:With 20 hives, could it be as profitable as my sourwood flow?Are there many crops that would no longer require pollination by July 4? This would allow me to "double up" and still catch my flow.How do you folks go about locating farmers in need of pollination? Is this something that the local ag extension can help with?What would be considered a standard hive count per acre? Is there even such a thing?

Army Times staff interviewed officers who had worked with General McChrystal. Following are comments they made about their former general.
NcChrystal comments concerning Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and National Security advisor James Jones:
"I was shocked because I know a lot of those guys. The comment about Holbrooke, the comment about Jones , come on, are you kidding me? that's just unprofessional is a mild word for it."
Filed Grade SF Officer who served with McChrystal:
"I was surprised they would speak like that, even amongst themselves. I know all of his inner staff..(and) I never heard anybody say anything politically negative about Obama." He went on to add: "Never, ever would he talk bad about a superior in front of his own subordinates. It's just completely out of character."
This field grade officer thought McChrystal should be fired. "I never thought I would say this. Until this article I was a huge McChyrstal fan. I was just floored at how immature he came across. every son of a b—near mcChrystal should be fired as well." He dismissed the argument the general was an essential ingredient for success in Afghanistan. "Stan McChyrstal is not the linchpin of the strategy, and frankly, it has not been going well."
I am certain the general will do well at Tea Party events and make money.

Mally Beauty Evercolor Eyeliner Library: This is a QVC exclusive, and I fully admit that I got sucked in by a video that Mally posted on her Facebook page recently, showing how quick and easy an eye look is with these pencils. Mally is the brand I want to try out most in the New Year, and this kit looks fab!

Jessica Simpson: "Bumpin' and Proud"
Posted Tuesday January 1, 2013 10:55 PM GMT
Continuing her Hawaiian holiday, Jessica Simpson tweeted a picture of her growing baby bump on Sunday (December 30).
The second time mom-to-be took the photo of herself dressed in a patterned bikini and a floral print coverup with the caption "Bumpin' and Proud!"
Though rumors about the "Dukes of Hazzard" star's pregnancy began last month, she and her fiancé Eric Johnson did not confirm they were expecting until Christmas Day.
The couple tweeted a picture of their daughter Maxwell in front of the words "Big Sis" spelled out in the sand.

Snow geese flying by the hundreds over the dikes today, primarily at the Skagit Hunt club area by North Fork. I don't know what the membership fees are, but I'd a had an easy limit today if I were a member. Nobody was hunting there as well. Can you believe it? There were ducks, mostly mallards, rafting out in the bay. Enjoyed the sounds of the marsh with hawks, blue heron, snipe, snow geese, and ducks making their presence known. Them snipes sure do startle you when walking out to the marsh at 6:30am. You practically step on 'em ...... and woooosh!
Lastly, took a scouting trip to a QH (Quality Hunt per WDFW) sight called 'The Channel' which was about 6 miles due north along Channel Drive. First time I'd ever been there. There are 2 hunt spots there called Channel 1 and Channel 2. You park in the same location for both. My printed copy only specified 1, so that was learned. It looked ok, except the folks there living next to the slough/channel are within 150 yards of the blinds. I don't think they'd appreciate the sounds of shotguns going off at shooting time. At least, one would think not. Never did the walk to the blind, but it was clearly visible from the parking lot. The road actually dead ends there, too. I don't know, but I just don't think I could hunt there comfortably with the location so close to civilization. My two cents.
Sure hope they open up a few QH spots in the future down south of the city. Anyone hear or read of any? I'm sure some of our members would like that.

The Canisius College rowing team competed in the Head of the Genesee Regatta on Saturday afternoon, with the Griffs Varsity Eight and Second Varsity Eight finished in sixth and seventh place respectively.
Syracuse took the top spot, followed by three Radcliffe crews and the Buffalo Varsity Eight. The Griffs' two boats beat out the other three Buffalo crews.
"I'm extremely proud of the way we raced today," said head coach Joel Furtek. "Our rowers laid it all out there for both races and our coxswains did an outstanding job. This week was a great exclamation point to our early fall racing, showing gains against many of the crews that we have raced against and against our own standards. Our whole team has moved so far forward in the last eight days of racing."
The event was comprised of a 5k race in the morning and a 1500 meter sprint in the afternoon, with the two races being combined to determine overall finish. The Canisius Varsity Eight completed the 5k in 18:52, and the sprint in 5:35.
The Griffs' Varsity Eight included junior Liz Reinwald, sophomore Nora Kennon, sophomore Corrine Kickel, sophomore Julie Sciandra, senior Liz McKinney, senior Amanda Kielich, Braun, senior Bridget Laszweski, and sophomore coxswain Hannah Blum.
"The day wasn't without challenge," Furtek said. "In the First Varsity Eight's 5k head race [senior] Allison Braun's oarlock popped open at the start. It was a rookie mistake – and she's only been rowing for about 10 weeks, so we have to cut her a little slack – but she rowed with an open oarlock for 4500 meters. This is even more impressive than Rob Lowe's recovery from the same incident in [the movie] Oxford Blues."
The Second Varsity Eight finished the 5k in eighth place (20:06), but were able to reel in the seventh place finisher on the sprint, posting a time of 5:48 to move up a position.
The Second Varsity Eight was made up of sophomore Megan Walsh, freshman Erin Grim, freshman Jenni Vinci, freshman Amber Giambone, freshman Mikaela Braun, junior Libby Chentfant, freshman Liz Delbarba, senior Meghan Martin, and sophomore coxswain Jordan Bamrick.
"As I've come to expect, our coxswains handled the chaos of regatta day, the focus of racing and a difficult course aplomb," Furtek said. "We're fortunate to have Hannah Blum and Jordan Bamrick at the helm."
The regatta was the third of four fall races the Griffs will compete in this year, with the largest looming. Canisius will now have a two-week layoff before traveling to the famed Head of the Charles.
"Seeing the great speed from Syracuse, Radcliffe and our neighbors from Buffalo, reminds us that we have our biggest race just two weeks away – the Head of the Charles," Furtek said. "We'll spend today and tomorrow enjoying the two best days in a racer's life, and Monday morning we'll get right back to aggressive training."
The Head of the Charles will be on Oct. 19 in Boston, Mass.

Wayne Law student research group receives award for work on Michigan Green Enterprise Zone Initiative
DETROIT (Feb. 4, 2010) – Wayne State University Law School is pleased to announce that four of its students will receive the Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD) Institute's Distinguished Young Leaders Award for their work in helping to design a Green Enterprise Zone for the Detroit region. Students Kevin Kelly, Erika Monfette, Samantha Orvis and Julianna Rivera will be presented with the award at the ESD Affiliate Council Gold Awards Banquet on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2010, at Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, Mich.
"The ESD Institute would like to once again express our deepest appreciation for the dedication and hard work performed by the Wayne Law Research Group under the guidance of Professor John Mogk and Dean Robert Ackerman," said ESD Institute directors David A. Skiven and Christopher J. Webb in a combined letter congratulating the students on their award.
"We are extremely flattered and honored by this award," said Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. "All credit goes to Professor Mogk and our four wonderful students. Our thanks to the ESD Institute for the award, and for letting us be a part of this endeavor."
The ESD Institute launched the Michigan Green Enterprise Zone Initiative in winter 2009 as a call to action to address the economic decline in Michigan and develop solutions to rebuild the state's economy. According to the ESD Institute, the Initiative "proposes the creation of a sovereign investment zone within Michigan that would utilize the large number of engineers and university educated citizens to attract new capital and investment and retain and build the state's manufacturing base."
The Wayne Law student research group was formed under the direction of Professor Mogk in June 2009. According to the group's report, the students conducted "research with respect to studies and reports within various fields relating to business investment zones worldwide, as well as on the sovereign rights and business activities of American Indian tribes."
Specifically, the group was charged with researching and answering 13 questions presented by the ESD Institute. Some examples of those questions:
- What is the most competitive investment zone for manufacturing in the world?
- Is there any example of an investment zone that limits or restricts legal liability such as class action exposure and exemplary or punitive damages?
- Is there any example of an investment zone that employs alternative dispute resolution methods for disputes prior to or in lieu of litigation?
To uncover answers to the above and more, the students had extensive communications with federal and state agencies, tribal governments and private organizations.
"The student members of the Wayne Law Research Group are remarkably committed to helping address the problems facing Detroit and its metropolitan region, as are so many students enrolled at Wayne Law today," Professor Mogk said. "They are deserving of this recognition for their hard work and appreciate the opportunity to contribute to the ESD Institute's creative Green Enterprise Zone Initiative."
The students' findings and recommendations can be found in the full report online at http://law.wayne.edu/students/esdi.php. For more information on the Wayne Law student research group, please send an email to Kevin Kelly at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information on the ESD Institute, please visit http://www.esdinstitute.net/.

427 BBC tuning help
hey guys, im working on getting my 427 all tuned in and im having a little trouble so far , its kind of hard starting in the cold, and i cant manage to get it working quite right , seems to be sluggish in 3rd and 4th gears... and i know it shouldnt be because it has more than enough torque to roll it.
i know on the dyno we dropped the main jets from a 74 to a 71 and secondary from an 80 to a 78, dont know if this is the cause of my problems or not as i havent got the new jets yet.
this is all my info
punched .60 thou and balanced (439)
large oval GM heads with port work and manley 2.19 intake valves ,ferrea inconel 1.80 exhaust valves
SRP +29CC dome pistons with mahle perfect circle rings
im running comp hydraulic roller cam 11-443-8 ,
540 intake lift
560 exhuast lift
duration @ .50 is 242 int and 248 ex
scorpion 1.7 roller rockers
Dart high rise single plane intake
proform 750 double pumper with mechanical secondaries.
it made 530 horse @ 5650
550 torque @ 4400
the builder says compression should be around 10.5 : 1 , i dont have the head numbers ATM but its the standard TD truck heads.
im running 11 degrees base timing with no vacuum advance and 36 degrees total by i think 4000? i dont have a timing light ATM sorry
so far the only thing ive been able to set up properly on the carb is the idle circuit, had 10 vacuum with the idle circuit screws a half turn out, that was the best vaccum i could get.
i havent touched power valve , timing , or jets , and dont know whether or not to run vacuum advance.. im kinda lost lol never had a good engine like this before just old stock 350's... any help is appreciated.
oh btw its in my 87 chevy one ton 4wd , muncie sm465 with an np208 and 4.56 gears with 44 boggers, running a centerforce dual friction clutch.
Last edited by b00tz; 01-07-2012 at 06:07 PM.
almost forgot this too : i have the idle set to around 1200 , i have to fiddle with the screw alot sometimes it idles there and sometimes it decides to idle higher.
once in a while it backfires out the carb and it catches on fire :/
and when i shut it off she keeps rolling on a little bit dieseling. i dont think the butterflys are open too far but i may be wrong
It's lazy because the timing is way slow. You need about 18-22 degrees initial timing in that thing with the cam and single plane. Then limit your total mech adv to about 36-38. With the manual trans you can hook your vac advance up to mainfold vac limited to 12-14 degrees and turn your idle down to around 900-1,000 rpm or a little lower if it likes it. That will kill the run-on. You NEED a decent timing light with an advance capability and you can solve your problems.
thanks alot for the reply speedbump. im going to get a timing light and a vcauum gauge from my buddy tommorow and i will definitely try that, i thought it sounded a little low to me too but thats what he set it to on the dyno and i never touched it since
yes, low timing.
I would run 25 initial timing at 1000 rpms, 38-40 total mechanical in by 4000 rpms.
and use the vacuum advance if you drive it on the street. Use an adjustable vacuum advance canister set to 10 degrees.
The vacuum advance will not have much vacuum to work with due to the big cam. Will need at least 9 inhg which most likely will not happen that often. Maybe while driving down the highway or revving it up in neutral.
the only thing im worried about is if i put too much timing, would that hurt the engine any? i know not to let it detonate but he said he wouldnt run any more than 36 on it at the shop... maybe hes just a worry wart? lol
also, is there any easy way to tell if its detonating if you cant hear it? my exhuast is really loud and i do well to hear myself talk when its running lol
should i just hook my vacuum guage up and set the timing to where it has the most vacuum?
i did notice on the dyno that it picked up alot of power as we advanced the timing, i think something like 20 horse per every 2 degrees , we hit the 530 mark when we advanced it to 36 but he got worried about advancing it too far after that and didnt go any further, whats up with that? lol
its all forged internals with a good balance job and clevite main and rod bearings with durabond cam bearings , eagle h beam rods and the srp pistons are forged , as well as the gm forged crank that came in the TD...i thought it sounded pretty tough ? lol
i have the limiter set to 6500 RPM , does that sound a little high?
i really do apologize for all these questions im just totally new to all this aftermarket stuff and im looking for input, dont wanna blow a 10,000 dollar engine lol
thanks again for the replies everyone

Well, he built the engine and doesn't want to push it. When you dyno test an engine, you should keep advancing the timing until no more gains are measured.
The things that cause an engine to need more total ignition timing are the following:
1) big bore (long way for the flame to travel)
2) domes or dished pistons (makes the flame travel around uneven terrain)
3) inefficient combustion chambers (makes the flame travel slow)
A BBC with old style cylinder heads and domes will have all these issues. This is why BBC typically are less toleration to high compression as compared to SBC are most other engines.
I have seen dynos of old bbc requiring up to 42 degrees of total timing to make max power. My 454 runs best with 40.
I think your compression maybe lower than 10.5:1.
-29cc domes
120cc heads
9cc head gasket (0.039" thick felpro)
4cc piston below deck
(899-29+120+9+4)/(-29+120+9+4)= (899+104)/104=9.64:1 cr
I'm assuming 120cc heads and some -deck height.
your exhaust valves should be 1.9's not 1.8's (I think, as 1.72 or 1.9 are the standard issues exhaust valves for bbc's)
Yes, not enough gear for 44's. You are running "an effective" 2.90 gear due the the extra tall tires. Like a 2.90 gear with 28 inch tire.
or will he need spacers?
hey guys thanks for the advice , unfortunately changing intakes is out of the question right now. and i dont want to change my gears because its a road truck also. if i need more power i can always drop the transfer case to the low side which over cuts my ratios in half (1.00 high side , 2.61, low side)
in first gear on the trans ( not jumbo low , but first which is 16.32 : 1 ) i have absolutely zero trouble ripping the bark off the tires, so in theory i should be able to start off in 3rd or 4th gear in 4 lo , 3rd being a 20.2 : 1 ratio and 4th being 11.9 : 1 ) time will tell i guess. lol
i hit the engine with the vacuum guage and timing light today and it made the most vacuum at 24 degrees inital advance, only problem is my distrubutor ( MSD streetfire 8362 ) comes with 20 * mechanical advance, i tried to go for the happy medium and set it to 20 * initial which gives me 40 total, does anyone think this sounds a bit much? like i said i really cant tell if its detonating or not with the exhaust and all... it sounds alot more responsive though and seems to turn up alot better.
454c10 : it says on the receipt the exhaust valves are ferrea inconel 1.8 exhaust valves , and manley 2.19 intake valves
as always thanks for any advice in advance , my budgets pretty limited atm so just trying to tweak this as best i can with what ive got! lol
Do you have a bogger you call a road truck or a road truck you call a bogger? You could lock the timing at 38 and do your WOT mud pulls and call it a day if its a competition truck.
If you have dual purpose truck then power time it to 38 Deg BTDC @ 4000RPM. Go to idle, adjust idle/carb mixture for max vacuum. Note the base timing, add vacuum advance to manifold vac, re adjust carb. How much vacuum advance?
If vacuum adv is adding more than 12 deg timing then limit it with the street fire vacuum adv limiter if you have that kit or get the crane limiter plate.
dont exceed 50 deg total timing advance
If you have 18 base timing and then add the 12 deg vacuum adv at idle you should be sitting pretty with 30 deg at a 900 idle as long as there is enough hg" vacuum to pull in the vacuum can. As the revs come up the mechanical adv will add advance as the vacuum adv drops out, I dont see many boggers idling at any less than 900 with a 4 spd so 1 stiff curve spring in there to avoid adding mech adv at idle, then change the other spring heavy/lite to get the curve right,,,all in by Xperimentation RPM
Last edited by Custom10; 01-08-2012 at 05:24 PM.
20 initial and 40 total will work just fine.
yep 2 deg either way is no different
if i want to get out for a romp on the trail and take er up the hills to my favourite fishing hole thats 40 miles back in the woods, i can.
if theres some trees in my way that need to be politely asked to clear the **** out, the pushbar takes care of that quite nicely
if i want to rip up some mud on the pipeline, she does a pretty good job of that too
and last but not least if i just feel like screwin around on the dirt road goin sideways around any corner i can find, well shes quite perfect for that too
i like to be able to do all this but still take it on the road for when we get those two foot snowfalls, or just feel like drivin my big *** truck through town. lol
i dont do mud drags or competition, the most competion it sees is our local mud runs through the woods once a year and thats just an excuse for us all to get together drink some beers and have some fun haha
ive tried setting it to 38 total and using my vacuum advance to make up the difference, yes i have to adjustable can, just couldnt quite get it working right. im currently not running any vacuum advance.
as 454c10 says i think ill try it with 20 base 40 total, it seems to be pretty good so far was just looking for a second opinion
Truck & driver sound right at home in Sask , regardless you need more than 20 deg advance at idle IMO.
lol looking at other posts looks like this aint the first time you two haven't agreed on total timing in bbc's. i googled it and this seems to be a common debate.
i do agree though that i would like to run a little more advance at idle, i'm going to mess around with it a little more when i get back home , heading up north to go to work for a couple weeks.
i just reallly dont like the idea of messing around with the distributor, is there a kit to buy to shorten the curve or do i actually have to braze the slots in?
when i get home i plan to take it out in the woods for a little test drive, maybe i can get some more tuning done while im out there actually running it instead of these lousy driveway tests. lol

For those who are already familiar with the Griffin sytka, the game will not become something original or special, because they have not done anything on their subjects, and why not?
Most developers have their own vision of an apocalypse, but in this case it turned out to be a strange one, and is it an apocalypse? However, there is Bruce Lee!
Have you ever imagined a zoo reserve? Personally, I'm not, at least because most of the stories where there are zombies end at best are ambiguous ...
Loud name and rather unusual approach to the usual things ... somehow you can describe a new game in which you have to manage with a motorcycle and take off on the steep ski jumps!
A new game that will send you to a somewhat simplified world of racing, which frankly sounds more like a rider, but there's a brake pedal, so it's not anymore ...
Returning to the origins of the gaming industry, it's hard not to recall the genre as "arkanoid", which was represented by one of the very first computer games in the world!
Arcade, which could well be good fighting games, but still did not, they continue to storm mobile platforms, here is another contender;)
A game that, according to the developers, will suit everyone and everyone, adults and children, boys and girls ... and yet it's about planes, let's see what we are offered!
A new quest from the format of "escape" in which you and your hero have to pass a real test for stamina and mental abilities, ready?
Advanced shooter, which got the platform roots and graphics in the style of silhouettes, which is often associated with savings, but not this time, which means it will be interesting!
