Franklin Adds Three to Green Bay Volleyball Squad
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – First-year Green Bay volleyball head coach Michaela Franklin has announced the addition of three new players to her 2013 roster, as Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.), Shannon Hurley (Connellsville, Penn.) and Emily Riese (Fond du Lac, Wis.) are each set to join the Phoenix in the fall. Hurley heads to Green Bay following a standout high school career in Pennsylvania, while Bauer and Riese will join Franklin's first Phoenix squad as Division I transfers.
"I am very pleased to announce the addition of Bauer, Hurley and Riese," said Franklin, who was hired at Green Bay on Jan. 8. "This class brings experience from many levels of the game, which will fit perfectly with the returning group of experienced players. What I am expecting most out of this class is their internal and outwardly-competitive drive to have a positive impact on the Green Bay volleyball program."
Bauer, a native of Verona, Wis., played her freshman season of collegiate volleyball at Ohio State, where she appeared in 24 matches and started four times. The libero tallied 39 digs on the year, including a career-high 10 against Dayton on September 7, 2012.
A four-time team MVP and four-time all-conference selection at Verona Area High School, Bauer led her squad to a 42-1 overall record and a Big Eight conference title as a senior in 2011. During that year she was selected as the Big Eight Player of the Year, Wisconsin State Journal Player of the Year, named first-team all-state and was a finalist for Gatorade Player of the Year. The 5-foot-9 Bauer was voted team captain three straight years, and finished her senior season with 385 kills and 369 digs.
"Bauer has a true sense for the game after playing outside in high school and then making the successful transition to the libero position during her senior year of club," Franklin said. "She has a natural instinct for the game and is a natural leader. What I admire most about Bauer is her ability to stay confident, assertive and competitive all at the same time. We are depending on Bauer to bring her competitive edge and leadership qualities to our team."
Hurley, a 6-foot outside hitter from Connellsville, Penn., was a three-time all-state selection at Greensburg Central Catholic High School in the Pittsburg area. She was also a three-time all-conference and all-district pick, and was voted as the Class A MVP by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as a senior. Hurley recorded 169 kills, 46 digs, 32 service aces and 22 blocks as a senior in 2012, and was also named MSA Sports Network Co-Player of the Year and was a member of the AAU Junior Nationals All-Star Team.
"Hurley's recruiting process to Green Bay is a pretty unique story," Franklin said. "I got to know Shannon off the court and fell in love with her dynamic personality, mental toughness and competitive nature. Hurley has a cannon for an arm and we are relying on her to bring depth to our outside position. Her contagious personality will fit perfectly with Green Bay volleyball."
Riese, a setter from Fond du Lac, Wis., attended North Dakota State in 2012-13 where she played in 23 matches and made five starts. She finished the year with 302 assists – good for second on the team – and 127 digs.
The 5-foot-10 Riese was a three-time all-conference honoree and two-time team MVP at Fond du Lac High School, where she led the Cardinals to a 39-13 record and an appearance in the state championship match in 2011. She was a two-time all-state pick, and earned a first-team nod as a senior.
"Riese is a daughter of a coach, as her mother Julie is the head varsity volleyball coach at Fond du Lac High School," Franklin said. "She has been around the game since she was a child, and she has the natural gift of setting and possesses qualities that cannot be trained. She is a fierce and sneaky competitor and has the ability to dish the rock. We are depending on Emily to bring experience, leadership and the ability to run an effective offense to our program."
Bauer, Hurley and Riese will join a Phoenix roster that features eight returning letterwinners in 2013.

I wrote a poem awhile back for a sermon that I was preaching, titled " Obedient Unto Death" . This sermon and this poem illustrates that mind of a person, when they first realize the love Jesus Christ has for them. When they realize, that night in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus could have oh so easily prayed to the Father, received the army of angels, and avoided death. But praise God Jesus was obedient to death! Praise God he never prayed for the angelic army! I just wanted to share this poem with you, it has so deeply touched me, that moment when a lost person understands the gospel, the love of Jesus Christ.
Obedient Unto Death
Sometimes I wonder of what level I can see
The love that Christ Jesus has , for you and me
And so I open to read this old story
About this King, who left His Glory?
At first I could not grasp His plan
How could God, be the Son of man?
The Bible was clear on this place called Paradise
Clear on this fact that is, there had to be a sacrifice
One day I finally understood His love for me
As I heard the story of the place called Gethsemane
And now I love this old, old story
I know why the King, why He left His glory
That night in the garden, Jesus took a stand
The hour near, the time at hand, Jesus Christ, truly fully God, truly fully man
He spoke to Peter, and told the land,
" That thus it must be ", sin has a price
With angels at His hand, ready for command, He said "No!" " I AM THE SACRIFICE"

God Bless

The Missouri Board of Education decides not to decide–at least not yet–about the future of the unaccredited Kansas City School District. The Kansas City Star put it this way: "All of the options for the Kansas City Public Schools remain on the table…". The state board had hinted that one of seven proposals for the district would be selected and intervention would take place. That may still happen, but not at this time.
Kansas City's Police Chief says the chaos caused by large groups of teens gathering on the Plaza will no longer be tolerated and is discussing enhanced enforcement with top commanders. This is not exactly a new problem and continues to be a concern for Plaza merchants and patrons.
An online petition garnering more than 100,000 signatures is calling on Pope Francis to discipline, i.e., remove, Bishop Finn from his position with the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese. Finn is on probation from a misdemeanor conviction for failing to report a priest involved with child pornography.
There has been largely negative reaction to a bill passed last week in the Kansas House permitting businesses to refuse services to gay couples on religious grounds. The Kansas Senate has declined to consider the measure in its present form. This controversy and others are, once again, raising questions in both Missouri and Kansas about gay rights and gay marriage. There seems to be a major change in public opinion on gay rights issues.

'Peca would fill in many of the Flames' gaps and supply the leadership they lack. Plus, the Buffalo Sabres would be more than happy to see their holdout headache go west instead of joining a potential playoff foe in the east.'
Archives for February 2001
Peca perfect remedy for Flames' funk
Bolts can spoil Buffalo's Sunday
Although Buffalo's two games against them would say otherwise, most of the NHL hasn't had fear of being electrocuted by the Lightning.
Sabres vs. Lightning
'[Sabres] are 4-1 after allowing five goals or more the previous game.'
Ruff hopes matinee is not another horror film
'"We've put it behind us already," Ruff said of the brutal defeat that snapped an impressive four-game win streak, including two victories over New Jersey and one over Ottawa. "We only looked at one clip, and that one clip summed up everything."'
Today: Lightning at Sabres
'Tampa Bay is the worst NHL road team with four wins.'
Sabres-Coyotes Crunching the Numbers
Inside — really inside — the Numbers of the Sabres 7-3 loss to the Coyotes.
Tkachuk! God bless you, says JR
Here was a classic example of the sheer brute strength a power forward can use to dominate the opposition.
Sabres serve up a soft one
'"Soft play in our own zone killed us," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. "We lost the one-on-one battles. They skated a little better, and they won the battle in special teams. They won the fight. They won the goaltending. They won offensively. "That leads up to getting smoked."'
Roenick and Tkachuk are two wily Coyotes
'There was a sense Roenick and Tkachuk were trying to enjoy the fun while it lasts. They're intent on extracting every ounce of skill from one another before the March 13 trade deadline, and they had a ball Friday night. Roenick scored in each period, all three coming with help from Tkachuk.'
400, 401, 402 for JR
'Dominik Hasek was given an early shower after allowing four goals through two periods, including Jeremy Roenick's 400th, his first of three on the night.'
Coyotes open fire on Hasek
'After 178 minutes and 22 seconds, somebody finally found a way to slip a puck past Buffalo Sabres goalie Dominik Hasek. And then the floodgates opened.'
Tkachuk may stay near
'The top line of Jeremy Roenick, Keith Tkachuk and Shane Doan combined for five goals and eight assists in demolishing the Dominator, Dominik Hasek.'
JR's 400th wasn't according to script
'Roenick wound up scoring two more times for his ninth career hat trick as the Coyotes rolled past the Sabres 7-3 with their highest offensive output of the season.'
Coyotes 7, Sabres 3
'Stu Barnes, Curtis Brown and J.P. Dumont scored for Buffalo, which blew a chance to win five straight for the first time in three seasons.'
Phoenix 7, Buffalo 3
'"We will look at it as a lesson learned," said Buffalo center Stu Barnes. "We will see some video from it, try to correct our mistakes and go from there."'

I dont give a damn what they think. I enjoy my dressed Raider as much or more as any of them enjoy theirs.[/quote Amen, Brother.....Ray


text: I agree!Having to sort through all the classified items from other places is just too much.Just a request though. When the forum for the Aussies was set up, it was commented that this was a good thing. That advice from those such as myself was 6 months out of sync with the bee cycle in Australia. That getting advice from others experiencing the same conditions was a good thing. That somehow my information would be impertinent or less applicable to the conversation in hand since I was "out of season".Yet, I am bombarded with having to read through many threads started by Aussie beekeepers outside the dedicated forum provided to them. It is wasting my time. Especially since I refuse to answer questions from some who devalue my answers because I live half way around the world. I bet my inconvenience is a whole lot more than the inconvenience of someone reading through the classifieds. So to be fair, can we have a dedicated forum for beekeepers in the U.S. ? Void of beekeepers asking questions that are 6 months out of sync from the current knowledge I am experiencing? OZbee wants now another Aussie dedicated forum for classifieds. Yet, almost everyday, he is posting outside the Aussie forum that was set up to answer questions and let Aussies discuss among themselves.Now before anyone gets all upset, I write this all in jest to make a point. Personally I think having breakout groups for different beekeepers is odd on a international forum. I know since it was suggested that my advice would not be something "up to date" due to the 6 month seasonal difference, I have never posted on the Aussie forum. And never plan too. I figured if answering a queen question in October would be seen as impertinent, then I best leave it alone.How about the following forums...One for females. Certainly this is self explainable.One for beekeepers in SHB areas. Whether it be pollen patty feeding or nuc building, everything is relative to whether you have SHB's.One for beekeepers in AHB areas. Again, management and advice is way different for those in AHB areas.One separating northern and southern beekeeping in the U.S. I think having separate forums for smaller groups in the hundreds, would also mean that for the thousands of beekeepers in the U.S., and taking in the vast and broad beekeeping differences, would mean more forums breaking up the U.S. beekeepers.Many times, advice is given across a broad spectrum and may or may not apply to the beekeeper asking questions. So if we narrowly defined each forum, and kept all the questions and answers in neat little boxes, then wasted time reading replies that do not matter would be kept to a minimum. How many times have you heard "Beekeeping is local" or that "advice from one place may not be applicable elsewhere"? We can just cut all that wasted commenting and advice down to nothing. Asking a question on winter feeding, then finding out that I am reading replies from some beekeeper in southern Florida, really blows! :roll: And don't get me started on that whole group of people from "Hopelessly Lost"! I don't even know how many times I wasted my time reading a question, then upon thinking of my reply, found out that they are from Hopelessly Lost. Then I have to ask myself, is my answer going to be applicable? Should I give a wishy-washy response in general terms? Will it be taken the wrong way? Should I just hit "delete" and let others be frustrated? I'm not even sure where Hopeless Lost is located. Is it a cold weather or hot weather region? Is it from a southern hemisphere location making my advice unworthy? Can we at least get a forum dedicated to all the members from Hopelessly Lost? Now that would be a time saver. :-DI do however want immunity to enter and enjoy the "female forum"..... :-DThere you go Oz. Maybe you can get some discussion now..... ;)

So much hate from angry, stupid people. It's a great world.
So much hate from angry, stupid people. It's a great world.
I've never heard a man say we're pregnant before. The only context I can remember it in is hearing an excited mother to be say it while the dude stood there looking as dumb and lost as ever, but with a smile.
Even if I heard a dude friend say that I wouldn't be offended. I would laugh in his face for saying it stupidly, but I don't think it takes away the significance of pregnancy. The guy is more or less completely useless to the baby until it's born...it's important to make him feel included too.. I mean it's half his fault.

LOL theres a whole subreddit for tumblr junk like that. Believe me I'm all for empowering women, homosexuals and whoever else is being oppressed....but lord is that stuff ever funny. End fathers day. Lmao. Most people I know would love to have a father to celebrate.
I am not offended by people having kids. I just don't like when people say "we're pregnant" because that's not physically possible. It has nothing to do with my like or dislike of the pregnancy or the people involved with the pregnancy.
i don't like when people say cd instead of album or dvd instead of movie. like you wouldn't say 50 shades of grey is yr favorite papers. it's yr favorite book, yo.

But like said earlier, being offended because you are taking something literally that is not meant to be taken literally is more than a little silly.
That is like being offended if you hear someone call a loved one 'honey' because they are not created by bees as a food source.
It is like being offended that I would say "no, I'm broke" after you ask me for money when it is obvious that I am in good health.
It is like being offended when the TV announcer says that an athlete is "on fire right now" when it is obvious that there are no flames coming from his or her body.
"We are pregnant" quite simply means "We are having a baby"
You know that when you hear it, and that is what is intended when it is said, therefor it is utterly ridiculous to fabricate some offense from it.
Play hard. Play smart. Win.
Work hard. Live smart. Prosper.
As for pregnancy... I don't find it an offensive word. If someone with normally good grammar called himself pregnant I would tease him for his mistake. If he said "we're expecting" then I get it. But if a stranger said that he and his wife are pregnant I wouldn't go and make a sarcastic commercial about grammar. It was humorous up until the part where the stage curtains open (edit: because the actor was mocking but then it suddenly got serious and everyone started taking themselves seriously while the music stayed jolly which made everything awkward and I don't find parodies of social rights movements funny).
As often as I disagree with most 3rd wave feminists when it comes to how they use, analyze and decode language and social constructs, I can actually understand this point. Not because I think anyone ought to be offended by it, but because it sounds stupid.
You're a guy. You don't get pregnant. If your wife got syphilis, you wouldn't go "We've got syphilis!".
A certain level of adherence to principles of linguistic clarity can do a lot for humanity. After all, as it is, most people shit all over the art of communication on a daily basis, and I'm pretty sure that's the root of a lot of the world's conflicts.
And seriously, if a guy needs to say stupid shit like "We're pregnant" to feel included in the conception of a child, he doesn't need couples counseling - he needs regular counseling for treating his severe lack of confidence. Alternatively, he needs to find a new wife that doesn't try to exclude him from the joy of having a child by making it so that the only way he does feel included is by citing stupid catch-phrases from cheesy self-help programs.
If somebody feels offended by what I just wrote, they too can go to counseling and consume a box of tissues crying about it. I don't care either way.
The Common Sense United Front
Wait, I skimmed through this briefly, so forgive me if I miss the point entirely, but you're saying you dislike when guys announce "their" pregnancy?
But the reality is, I'd say the same, because without me she wouldn't (hopefully anyways) be pregnant. It's my child too, I am allowed to announce the pregnancy, saying "shes pregnant with my kid" sounds a bit more like me, but that's still in the same ballpark. I think what Oister said is spot on, even if the retort is commonly heard. It takes two to love. It was a creation that absolutely required both parties to be willing and capable, and that means it's a shared thing. Just because she endures the majority of the physical and mental pain, doesn't mean it's more her child than mine, because as the man, we'd have to take responsibility, make a lot of sacrifices, and tend to her every day for 9 months. It's not as taxing, but it can be stressful.
That. Isn't. Even. The. Topic.
It's simply that he can't be pregnant, not that he isn't involved in the pregnancy.
# ᴛ ʜ ᴇ ʏ ᴄ ᴀ ʟ ʟ ᴍ ᴇ ᴛ ʜ ᴇ s ᴏ ʀ ᴄ ᴇ ʀ ᴇ ʀ s ᴜ ᴘ ʀ ᴇ ᴍ ᴇ ʙ ᴇ ᴄ ᴀ ᴜ s ᴇ ɪ ' ᴍ s ᴏ s ᴛ ʀ ᴀ ɴ ɢ ᴇ.
But he doesn't say it because he IS pregnant, hes saying it because hes taking ownership. This IS the topic.
Hes allowed to say what he wants about his child, they're pregnant. Sure he may not be ACTUALLY pregnant, but hes connected on a level that he feels he can say that he is experiencing "pregnancy" not the actual term but the entire process, taking care of the women while she needs him the most, if someone feels entitled to say "we're pregnant" let them. I don't even understand how it can be brought up as an argument. It seems so insignificant, and even more so that it doesn't even directly involve you.
Let me ask you a question. Would you feel it's fair for a woman to say "we're serving," because her husband is serving in the military? Both of them are affected by his departure. Him obviously more so, but they are still both affected by his service. Is that an acceptable comment to you?
It's a bit silly to say, as it sounds like the male is pregnant, but if the male of the relationship feels that way, let him say it. Just like people say "WE didn't win the football game." When they don't even play, they just watch.
I got that.I didn't disagree with it being kind of stupid to say, I even stated I wouldn't say it like that.
Ok.It's just.. I don't see the issue. I feel like I didn't give you an adequate enough response, let me edit:
It's a bit silly to say, as it sounds like the male is pregnant, but if the male of the relationship feels that way,
No.let him say it. Just like people say "WE didn't win the football game." When they don't even play, they just watch.
Now that is apples and oranges.
You can't wholeheartedly try to persuade me to agree with you and then just say "it's not important." If it was important enough to contribute discussion on why you feel differently than me, then there is some significance to you.This.
I think we can both agree that the issue isn't of massive, Godly importance, but I don't think threads should be limited to only "massive, Godly importance" topics. There are plenty of lackluster threads on this forum, not conducted by me.
It has enough significance to discuss, debate, and think about. We're on page 5, after all.
what's to debate tho? dudes don't get pregnant. so if a bro says he's pregnant, he's wrong. that's it, right?
Serious though, it doesn't bother me as much as sports fans saying "we won!".
Essentially, Skald.
This isn't even an argument, this is him or her saying "No. You're wrong, I'm right." When there is nothing to declare wrong or right, as it's been made clear that we're on the same page. I was merely saying let people live their life, focus on you.
See, I agree that it's silly sounding, but it says something about a person to throw a fit, because someone else dared to say something silly. If you are offened by the fact that another person says something silly in your presence, isn't that more obnoxious compared to the "crime of inelegant wording".

Stay frosty.
Were on page 5! Of people saying I have an opinion, but the subject doesn't matter.
I could rant about how stupid this is and really want to but I am trying to spend my time more constructively.
Now to go watch the latest extreme koala mma video.

April 23, 2004
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.
In front of a crowd of 38,647 at Franklin Field, the University of Tennessee's sprint medley relay stole the show Friday evening. The speedy Lady Vol quartet left the track-savvy fans shaking their heads and checking their meet programs for records, as J.J. Clark's squad produced its second Championship of America victory in as many days and unexpectedly brought down 16-year-old national collegiate and Penn Relays standards in the process.
After finishing second here to LSU in 2003 by a mere 29/100ths of a second, UT erased those memories and charted its first-ever triumph in the event at the 110th edition of this storied meet. The Lady Vols covered the distance in a remarkable 3:41.78, toppling Texas's 1988 Penn Relays mark of 3:41.97, which had stood as the collegiate, meet and track record since that time. LSU, which suffered a dropped baton on the 400-meter leg, finished more than three seconds back in 3:44.97 and saw its two-year meet win streak in the event snapped.
In addition to the previously mentioned trio of records, the UT SMR also shattered the school mark of 3:43.55, which was charted at the 1991 Penn Relays by Michelle Bookman, Tisha Prather, Tonya Lee and Jasmin Jones. The Lady Vols' triumph on Friday matched the first-place finish of the distance medley relay on Thursday evening and pushed Tennessee's total of Penn relay titles to 10, with another one possible Saturday afternoon in the 4x800m event.
"There have been some great teams to grace this track over the years, and to come in here and break the collegiate, Penn Relays, Franklin Field and UT records shows you how talented this
group really is," a jubilant Head Coach J.J. Clark said afterward. "We stepped up and competed with courageous hearts against a very talented LSU team. Our group came in with the expectation of
winning, but to top it off with a collegiate record is a great way to end the day."
Freshman Tianna Madison got the Lady Vol SMR tandem off to a superb start in the 200-meter opener. The Elyria, Ohio, product got out of the blocks well, made up the stagger and handed the baton to Toyin Olupona before LSU's Stephanie Durst made the exchange with Monique Hall. Olupona, a junior from Orillia, Ontario, Canada, put up a fight against Hall, but yielded first place to the purple and gold in the opening 15 meters of her 200 hitch and had to settle for second in her turn with the stick.
Once Olupona made the pass to Dee Dee Trotter, however, the tables soon turned. The junior from Decatur, Ga., erased a 10 to 15-meter gap over the first 300 meters and sent the crowd into a frenzy when she began to overtake Hazel Ann Regis on the final turn before the home stretch. Just as Trotter was gliding past the LSU standout, the baton fell from Regis's hand and bounced on the track as the Tennessee All-American sped away toward the awaiting hand of anchor Kameisha Bennett.
After the 51-second 400-meter stint by Trotter and the miscue by the Tigers, Bennett assumed control of the baton and the race with a healthy advantage. The senior from Dayton, Ohio, didn't settle into a conservative mode, however, as she blasted away during the first lap of her 800-meter closing leg and put to rest any notion of a miracle comeback by the purple and gold. Her 2:04.2 anchor split maintained the margin she had been given and discounted a nearly-identical effort of 2:04.1 by LSU closer Neisha Bernard-Thomas.
"I'm very proud of them - they all ran great legs," Clark said. "I have to commend Dee Dee Trotter for running another great 400m leg (as she did Thursday in the DMR) and showing why she is one of the nation's best. My hat is also off to Kameisha Bennett, who not only had a great race but also ran with a lot of courage."
Earlier in the day, Madison, Olupona and Trotter were in action in the 100-meter dash prelims, but none of them earned qualification for Saturday's championship race. Madison came the closest, taking third in heat one and placing 10th in a 19-runner field in 11.61. She missed an opportunity for the finals by one spot, while Olupona and Trotter wound up 15th and 16th overall, respectively, with times of 11.74 and 11.80.
Tennessee's schedule on the final day of the 2004 Penn Relays is a light one, but the sole event in which the Lady Vols are scheduled to compete on Saturday is of great significance to Coach Clark. He will send junior Nicole Cook (Petersburg, Va.), Bennett, freshman Leslie Treherne (Chesapeake, Va.) and senior Lindsay Hyatt (Auburn, Calif.) into battle in the 4x800m relay, as UT attempts to win its first Championship of America in that event since 1984.
That season, Coach Clark's sister, Joetta, anchored the Lady Vols to their fourth-straight Penn Relays title in that event. Joined by Karol Davidson, Alisa Harvey and Cathy Rattray, Clark and company rolled to victory in a Penn Relays and collegiate record time of 8:20.22 that still stands today. That win also enabled UT to claim titles in three different relays (4x1, 4x4, 4x8) that season.
The event is also special to Coach Clark because of his success in it during his tenure as the distance coach at the University of Florida. His Lady Gator squads rolled to Penn Relays triumphs in 1999, 2001 and 2002, and standout Erin Merten, who now trains with Clark in Knoxville, won the Philadelphia Sportswriters Association Outstanding Female Athlete Award in 2001.
The Big Orange women will return to Knoxville late Saturday night and will rest briefly before heading out to Tom Black Track for the Knoxville Invitational on Sunday. Women's field events action begins at 9:30 a.m. with the hammer throw, while races on the track get underway at 1:55 p.m. with the 100-meter dash. The meet is expected to conclude around 5 p.m.

Tianna Madison: "This is a great accomplishment for me being a freshman. Tennessee is a great program. Penn Relays is a great atmosphere. It makes you run even harder with all of the fans yelling."
Kameisha Bennett: "Even though I'm hurting now, it's a good kind of hurting. I'm really excited that we set those records. I went out fast and that made it a little harder for me at the end. This is my fifth year, and I want to thank God for being here today."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Has a parts breakdown. Make sure you have the Clutch Release Fork (B8), the Fork Pivot Bolt (B9), the T-shaped Fork Pivot-nut (B10; this clips into the clutch fork and is shaped like an uppercase T); and the Slave Cylinder Adapter Bracket (B13). All these parts carry a 13-86 Tremec part number. The T-nut is discontinued; but we drew up a design for "Hawk's Third Generation" in Easley, SC. They are the only ones carrying this part. They also usually stock the Bracket and the Clutch Fork.
Probably the best first hand knowledge on the conversion is going to come from the NastyZ28 guys. An overhaul kit for this trans is a little over $500. This doesn't include any gears. Reverse on the mainshaft is usually replaced during a rebuild and thats probably another $200. If it's never been opened, you'll want the 3-4th gear iron shift fork (factory replacement for aluminum shift fork Tremec PN TNEC0843 around $60).
Make sure you get the 'Tag Number' so you can identify the assembly in case you need parts. Listed at the top part of the first page of PDF; Remote Slave Cylinder; 1386-009 or 016. The -017 or -020 assemblies (under Concentric Slave have the slave cylinder inside the transmission and are originally from LS1 applications which will be more involved to install, so do your homework before you buy.
lol funny you should mention
i have found a t56 out of a camaro... last gear is a 0.5... 60K on it.. comes with a clutch and fly wheel (the clutch has ok at best reviews on the net).. will prob not even use it keep it as a spare... heres my question now... this t56 came off of a camaro with a lt1... from what i hear its that this will bolt right up to the back of my gen 1 SBC....i know i will need a fly wheel, pedal assembly , shorten my driveshaft and slave cylinder... but what else would i need?
my car is a street strip car with no center console so im not worried about taking a cut off wheel to it....
is it possible to mod the current cross memeber for my th350??? what clutch would i use>? one ment to go in the LT1? i am def in need of info here... opinions are welcome....
also ive never installed a trans mission before but here on ft bragg we have a auto skills center where ase retired mechanics work.... they wont do the work but they "coach" you on what to do.. ive build engines and chassis and alot of other stuff before... i feel confident that i could do it with some one helping... but i am naturally nervous about getting into this.... what else am i missing>?
There are a few obstacles; I think some guys on the Team Chevelle boards and NastyZ28 have ventured into this territory.
If it had a fixed yoke, that is going to be an issue; also the camaro factory driveshaft has a dampener of sorts on it as well.
The TR6060 uses a short bell (called a clutch housing or clutch cover) which is removeable (there is a plate that is at the front of the transmission, this houses the pump and acts as the front bearing support). I'd bet that getting the proper amount of pilot standout is going to take some doing. Its certainly NOT impossible; but it may be more work than you're willing to tackle.
Also note that this trans uses a VSS and not a mechanical speedo. Lastly, depending on what you're putting it in, the shifter may or may not be where you want it (there are remote shifter mounts etc to cure this)
Lastly, this is a portly girl to be hoisting over your head, and it WILL require tunnel surgery in almost any car made before probably 2000; anyones guess on how much surgery though. Now you'll probably have to modify the crossmember, and then you'll have the concentric slave cylinder thats bolted to the front cover for your hydraulic clutch that is used. You should probably get a junkyard 2010 camaro pedal assembly to match the stroke.
Yes its possible, its been done before; but its not for someone without fab skills and patience. There may be kits to install this in your chassis that simplify it, but you'll have to do your homework 1st. Its a spendy transmission; a synchro ring kit is over half a grand and the 7 tapered bearing sets will run you probably $200 alone. Its worth a bunch and there are guys that would love to have it. If you decide you want to resell it or trade it for a different trans, I'd be glad to give you some shops who take cores (I don't).
You're probably better off finding an early T56 with the external slave cylinder. However, avoid the (rare) 3.36:1 1st gear used in some F cars. I had to find a 1st gear for one for a guy on the HR.com forums and it took a long list of contacts to track one down for the guy. 2.66 is a fine 1st gear; use 3.73s. 2.97 is more common; I'd use a 3.42 or 3.55:1 rear gear
|It would also need a special driveshaft, the TR6060 does not use a slip yoke.
|Apparently after getting off the phone with tremec its impossible to get the tr6060 mounted to a gen 1sbc
|I am hesitant to doit becuaseji didnt know if the parts for tge t56 would woek.in the tr6060.....specifically the crossmember and scatter shield that i would have to.use....i build and use precision rifles at work....
|Its one of the most popular swaps now.What is the hesitation?Must be a nice rifle,,,,
t56/tr6060 questions
alright down to the point on this one... ive found a guy who has a 6 speed manual from a 2010 camaro ss with about 10K on it...he said it was a t56 but after research im finding that its a tr6060....now they are pretty much the same transmission, and they both will be fine behind my vortec 383 (425-450 hp) and ive been wanting to go to a manual overdrive anyway... i would be trading a hunting rifle for the transmission...the overdrive gain would be 43% compared to my turbo 350....
my problem is that i know the t56 is a great transmission, and everyone says that the tr6060 is a improvement over the t56.... everyones thoughts on the tr6060??? i simply just dont know if i could buy t56 parts to do the install on my 79 z28 with a gen 1 sbc...

Matt Barkley Scouting Report
|USC Trojans
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'2 - 228 lbs.
|Draft Prediction:
|Second Round
2013 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Matt Barkley, QB, USC
What the scouts all seem to be agreeing on is that Barkley has very good intangibles, great pocket awareness, and good accuracy on short/intermediate routes. Barkley has a lot of experience in a pro-style offense and should be ready to compete for a starting role immediately. He can read defenses, scan the field, and work through his progressions quickly. Despite lacking burst or top end speed, the 6'2", 228 lb prospect can slide and feel the rush while keeping his feet set when delivering the football inside the pocket.
Areas where he will require improvement not already mentioned include deep pass accuracy, taking care of the football with smart decision-making and learning how to keep his feet under him while moving outside the pocket.
Barkley is still looking like he could go in the first round, but there are many scouts who do not feel he is the best quarterback prospect in this class. This happens all the time as one player is scrutinized for months and months while a new player emerges that has not been analyzed extensively. Look for Barkley's stock to rebound slightly across the scouting services, but it is not likely he will return to the clear No. 1 ranking he had immediately after the 2012 NFL Draft.
He projects as a late-first to mid-second round prospect for the 2013 NFL Draft.
2 Comments | Add Yours
I'm going to say someone (Arizona, Jacksonville?) trades up with either New England, Baltimore or perhaps Green Bay to take Barkley in Round 1.
CortezKennedy96HOF 04/19/13 05:16 AM
i believe this guy could b a product of his team, he is average not a strong arm, average awareness and he is a poor man mark sanchezs, but in the right system he could shine, i have him as a 2 or 3round, but he will b average in the nfl, not a franchise qb by far

Maple Street skate park revamp plans amping up in Manchester
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | May 20. 2013 10:19PM
"We will brainstorm about what participants want," said Jim DeStefano, organizer of XMVSkate.
Current goals include raising about $500,000 to refurbish or rebuild the park.
"We want to build the likability for users so it will become self-policing," Destefano said.
A fully enclosed facility may be beyond the anticipated budget, but organizers say they lean toward a pole-roof sort of covering that will allow use of the park through much of the year while making sure the activities are in public view.
Destefano suggests replacing or altering the Regis Lemire Community Center, either with a new structure that allows a better view of the skate park, or by removing part of the complex used for storage.
"I've brought my kids there a number of times and have never seen problems, I've never seen the kids disrespect the park," he said.
The two firms represented at today's sessions are experienced with developing, designing and constructing skate parks in cities across the country. Designers will discuss with city engineers whether the existing park can handle an upgrade or whether years of deferred maintenance means the reconstruction needs to be more extensive.
"I think if it was a good skate park, kids would still use it," Destefano said.

I'm not sure what everyone's deal is with this penguin being an established character. Ramyb even mentioned in his description that he was using a favorite old character! Does this makes the shirt a flop for you? To me it appears very well designed, no matter the character he chose. I'm sorry it's not Mario or Darth Vader in an inner tube because those are definitely more 'original' and 'new' than a self designed penguin.
+1 for a cute and print-worthy design Ramyb, and ignore the naysayers with nothing better to do.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by TheIronLady, Jun 8, 2013.
Which 15/16 year old American Olympic champion do you love the most?
Lipinski because she had the verve in spades and more frequently
Hughes looked very awkward to me, Lipinski had funky technique on her jumps but seemed to have better skating skills. Hughes spins were gorgeous, the best part of her skating and she had longer limbs but didn't know how to use them
I'll pick Sarah Hughes Dorothy Hamill's haircut, too
Lipinski by a lot. In spite of her flutz she had real star quality to me. Hughes on the other hand-no love lost there. I never cared for Sarah or her skating at all.
Tara by a mile, she had much better posture and no eyesores in her skating. Sarah had a nice layback but her flutz and flip entries were cringeworthy.
Tara - notably superior skating skills and dynamism
Tara...and by a mile.
I think Lipinski is perceived as better or more likable for several reasons. She was small and cute rather than tall with a big nose. Also she tried to be so different from Kwan. Lastly she had first rate Bezic choreography and packaging rather than a disastrous hack like Robin Wagner.
I blame Robin Wagner for most of Hughes' ugly programs. Sarah was better than she gets credit for, because she did not have a naturally advantageous body type like Cohen or Lipinski. She did well in spite of this. Next to Michelle Kwan, whose skating is a delicate and intricate masterpiece (even her 2002 Scheherazade is 100 levels beyond everyone but Sasha artistically), Hughes often looked like a three dollar imitation-- with awful jumping technique to boot. The choreographic choices and the bad jumps, of course, can be traced back to the delusional Wagner.
I have to go with Tara. Her skating developed as a professional into something quite outstanding.
I did not care for Sarah's skating at all. I saw her as someone that could develop into something good in the future. That future never happened. She could not build a professional career after her OGM, and her year after that OGM was very disappointing.
Tara was exciting to watch, despite her small jumps, and she did develop artistically as a professional.
I couldn't stand Sarah's skating and I never thought she was, er, very attractive but I truly never noticed her having a big nose. Besides nose sizes have anything to do with popularity or skating quality. If big noses mattered to skating fans or judges, Michelle Kwan wouldn't be one of the most beloved skaters of all time.
Oh and I voted for Tara by a wide margin. I couldn't stand Sarah's skating. Her artisty was forced, her jumps stunk and her choreography was a greatest hits of other skater's programs. I even hated the exaggerated bows she took after every program. Plus she was rude to more than one person I know and her podium behavior at 2000 Skate America was ridiculous, especially since she had no business feeling robbed. Now having heard Jenny Kirk talk about Sarah and Robin Wagner staring down other skaters in locker rooms, I think my hunch that she was a snot might be true.
Interestingly, it was the "Nose Factor" that caused Jimmy Durante to abandon his Olympic skating aspirations back in the 1920s, and opt for Vaudeville instead. That, and his "Schnozzolle" adversely affected his center of gravity in the more advanced skating maneuvers.
The only thing I liked about Sarah was her spins and spiral. Aside from that I found her skating to be very awkward looking...even when she got older there was a juniorish quality about the way she presented her programs that irked me. Her technique was not good (mule-kicky, often cheated jumps) and her artistry was rather weak IMO.
Tara was tiny and she had technique issues too but she had good skating skills and, most importantly, she had spark and fire when she skated. I think Tara's programs weren't all that wonderful from an artistry standpoint but they fit her style very well.
I definitely have a zillion times more respect for Tara and I prefer her skating over Sarah's.
what a sophie's choice
No it's not. Tara's winning this one by a landslide.
I didn't even consider Sarah's looks. I don't think she's any prettier or less attractive than Tara. I just didn't care for her skating and her personality was just..not there or something. Looks or lack there of certainly didn't get in the way of say Scott Hamilton's success. His personality, his smile and his story pretty much made him a star in his sport as well as winning Olympic gold. Alexei Urmanov , on the other hand, and who imo is far better looking than Hamilton never really became much of a star in spite of good looks. I'm sure there are other examples.
If only Plushenko had followed his example.
You make a point with Scott Hamilton, and personality and skating showmanship go a long way. Hamilton also was around for a while and not just one Olympics. Urmanov basically was a one hit wonder like Sarah. That said, Sarah Hughes is well known with the public (she's arguably more famous than Sasha Cohen) and in her day made lots of money. I think Sarah's height and looks are what some fans are thinking of-- along with Wagner's stupid and bad choreography--when they call her skating awkward.
I remember after winning Olympic gold one reporter mentioned Sarah's 'coltish' look on the ice. I think it was a nice way of saying that she looked gangly or awkward. I guess she doesn't appeal to a lot of 'real' skating fans but the Olympic audience probably didn't care one way or the other. I don't see her as more famous than Cohen. I just don't see the press making the same fuss about her had she returned to the 2010 Nationals as much as they did for Sasha as the returning Olympic silver medalist. Jmo.
I choose death.
Not really. Urmanov was around since the 1992 Olympics (as a 17 year old) and continued through worlds 1997 when an injury practically ended his career. Even though he competed after that, it was not the same. So he was around a long time, in a meaningful way. The reason we don't hear much about Urmanov is that the US media never embraced him. He was an elegant skater with perfect technique on jumps. He was also a good show skater, but again in N.America they preferred Stojko's (forward landed but consistent) jumps over Urmanov's elegance. Hamilton was so well known because he was American.
That's mean. I hate it when people make fun of someone's looks. It's not something that one has control over. If you meant it to be a joke, I prefer healthier jokes.
Hughes had quite good choreography, even in 2003 when she was not in shape. Her Daphnis et Chloe program is class. I remember her programs being more interesting than Kwan's or Slutskaya's, and she had nice spirals and spins. Lipinski's eligible programs all run together for me.
Lipinski did get better as a pro, and was better than Hughes as a pro, of course, since Hughes hardly skated.
Tara was both the better and more enjoyable to watch skater. Sarah was just so average. She wasnt a great jumper and Tara was a great jumper also.
Really? Most casual skating viewers I know remember Sarah and her win quite well. When I went to Stars on Ice last year, my coworker proudly informed me that she didn't watch skating much but saw Sarah Hughes headline the tour months after winning the Olympics. She was probably thinking of Champions on Ice but that's beside the point. I can't think of anyone who has brought up Sasha, maybe because she never had a truly memorable performance on the big, big, big stage. Her short program in 06 Torino was pretty good but her disaster in the long sadly overshadowed it for many people, even if it shouldn't have. And I think Sarah returning in 2010 would have been a disaster result BUT I think she would have received far more press for it than Sasha did. The media LOVES the Hughes girls, and with both of them "competing" for an Olympic spot? The coverage would have been over the top.
Of course! But I suspect skating judges and fans liked that he was a consistent competitor over five world championships and two Olympics, and he won five of those titles. Urmanov has but one world bronze from 1993, and then he was outside the world medals. He was well known during the late 90s skating boom as the handsome reigning Olympic champion in weird gloves, but he didn't have the recurrent wins over time that Hamilton or a Kwan had. He was not going to attain a Plushenko status. He was more like Hughes-- if Hughes had not gotten fat after she won and had to retire. I know Urmanov got 5th in Albertville, but that was such a bad men's competition.
I am surprised the media did not promote Emily Hughes even more than they did and play up her familial celebrity. Perhaps by 2006 budgets for fluff piece airtime had dried up. They had to show extra commercials for Smart One's Pizza and RepHresh feminine freshness kits instead of cozy Hughes family moments.
Wow... So much Hughes family hate around here...

Scenic Ocho Rios, call it 'Ochi', on Jamaica's verdant north coast, is host to many luxury hotels including the Jamaica Inn and the trendy Sandals Ochi Resort. The spectacular Dunn's River Falls should feature on any visitor's sightseeing itinerary. Or head west to picturesque Discovery Bay, named after Christopher Columbus, who was thought to have made first landfall there. Learn about the famous explorer at the Columbus Park open-air museum.
Energy courses through lively Montego Bay – from the bustling street life of downtown to the buzzing beachfront parade known as 'hip strip'. This promenade is lined with resort hotels, along with an array of bars, shops and some of the finest eateries on the island. Culture seekers will be in their element exploring the magnificent historic estates of Greenwood Great House and Rose Hall. The Bob Marley Centre and Mausoleum is a must-visit for fans of the reggae legend.
An energetic capital city for a day trip, Kingston is a pilgrimage for every fan of reggae culture- music is its heartbeat. Visit historic Devon House for exceptional ice cream and sweeping lawns to eat it on or, cooler than cool, the Bob Marley house for a performing hologram of the local legend. Visit the loud Coronation Market but be aware that, like other big cities, you need to keep a close eye on your valuables and stick to the tourist areas.
Escape the bustle for peaceful Port Antonio, formerly a celebrity haunt and banana trade nexus that has relaxed into a haven of beautiful beaches. Snorkel in crystal-clear waters or cast your line at this deep sea fishing hotspot. Beautiful Somerset Falls is an idyllic spot for bathing. Or visit Boston Beach, where the crashing breakers make for great surfing. Sample fiery jerk chicken served with sweet hard dough bread from one of the stands dotted around this rocky cove.
Formerly bohemian Negril today maintains its laidback vibe, but the beach-loving Rastafarian culture has largely been replaced with bustling resorts and trendy types on scooters. Beach bathers will still be in heaven stretched out on Negril's stunning white sands, fringed by swaying palms and the striking black cliffs featured in the Bond movie Thunderball. Enjoy a bite to eat at one of the many cool eateries, or admire the breathtakingly beautiful sunset while sipping cocktails and swaying to reggae sounds.

Yeah, it can be ridiculous, and A must be a magic fairy or something, but when you have characters as awesome as Hanna, Spencer, and Emily (...Aria's alright too, I suppose...) who cares? Even the guys at TWoP give it A+'s every week. Who else looks forward to Mondays every week?

Indiana Lobby Registration Commission
(Decision whether to ratify FAO made at public meeting of March 6, 2003)
Vote to Ratify FAO:
Chairman Abbs - yes
Vice-Chairman Krahulik - yes
Commissioner Torke - yes
Commissioner Heeke -yes
Questions and written comments may be directed to Indiana Lobby Registration Commission, 10 W Market St, Ste 1760, Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317) 232-9860
Facts Presented:
Corporation X intends to engage in the following grassroots activities:
The ILRC is mindful of the public policy objectives of the Indiana Lobby Disclosure Statute. The ILRC also recognizes the rights of citizens to petition the government with minimal interference and burden. This advisory opinion seeks to answer very specific facts presented on matters relating to corporate grassroots lobbying. This opinion is not directed to a public citizen who engages in lobbying activity, but who receives nothing of value and who is not an otherwise registered lobbyist. Such a person does not have to register and report under Indiana's Lobby Disclosure Statute.
The communications between a citizen and a legislator are not within the umbrella of Indiana's Lobby Disclosure Statute. As a result, when Corporation X sends postcards to people urging them to contact state legislators to either support or oppose proposed or pending legislation, it is not a reportable event in Indiana. Likewise, it is not a reportable event in Indiana when Corporation X hires a consultant to go door-to-door and call individuals and retailers of Corporation X's product to urge them to contact legislative officials to support or oppose proposed or pending legislation.
When Corporation X sends pre-printed postcards, ready for mailing to specified state legislators, to people urging them to sign their names and forward the postcards to the designated recipient, Corporation X is attempting direct communication with legislators through a citizen-agent. This is a reportable event under Indiana's Lobby Disclosure Statute.
If Corporation X contracts with a vendor of a phone-banking service to call individuals and retailers of Corporation X's product to urge them to contact state legislators to support or oppose proposed or pending legislation, this will not in and of itself trigger a registration duty. If before completing the phone call, the service also offers to immediately connect the recipient of the call directly to a state legislator, direct communication with a legislator is part of the activity and a registration duty has arisen.
In both situations where reporting is required, it is Corporation X that must register and report. Where the phone-banking service is to connect people to legislators directly, the service must register and report. The non-paid citizen-agent has no duty to register and report.

'"We're both known for our antics of getting under people's skin," Sabres enforcer Eric Boulton said. "I'll have some remarks for him, and he'll be all over my case, too."'
Archives for February 2004
Scoring binge has Ray ready for old friends
Sabres' loss dims playoff dreams
'"We can't give up four goals in a game."'
Best hope for the Sabres: Ax NHL for a year
The players appear oblivious to the declining attendance and microscopic TV ratings. If they are so blind to the problems and so thick-headed that the NHL will be forced to shut down next season, it probably would be a blessing for hockey fans in Buffalo and many other league cities. An NFL-style salary cap, more parity on the ice and a more fan-pleasing style of play with an emphasis on free-wheeling, high-scoring hockey would be well worth sacrificing an entire season if necessary. It probably is Buffalos only hope for remaining in the NHL.
Giving themselves space
'Most importantly, goalie Rick DiPietro made 42 saves and withstood an early barrage from the desperate Sabres. He was the backbone of the critical road victory.'
Islanders rebound to foil Sabres
'"The whole team knew this was a must-win for them and for us," said DiPietro, who claimed to be "fine" despite going down briefly after taking one late shot off the knee. "This was as big as it gets."'
Isles redeem themselves
'Despite the euphoria of a road win against a team fighting to overtake them in the playoff race, the Isles by no means think they've got anything sewed up. "As soon as we start thinking it's over," Adrian Aucoin said, "we're not going to be playing our game. I know from experience, this is a team that needs a reason to start playing better."'
NY Islanders 4, Buffalo 2
'"It's not out of reach,'' coach Lindy Ruff said of the Sabres playoff status. "But it's going to be tough. We need to fire on all cylinders.'''
NY Islanders 4, Buffalo 2
'"Losing two in a week and four on the season to the team we're chasing is obviously not very good," Drury said. "But there's still a chance and we're gonna keep chasing as hard as we can."'
Sabres' goalies need quick return to form
'The game is about as critical as they come for the Sabres' postseason hopes.'
Kotalik may not miss much time
'"I don't pretend to think he's going to play Friday or Saturday," said Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, who downplayed the idea Kotalik could miss a more substantial chunk of time.'
Sabres vs. Islanders
'Season Series: Islanders lead, 3-0.'
Quinn: Sabres project up to $10 million in losses this season
Quinn said this seasons losses include several one-time expenditures, such as the installation of a new electronic ribbon board that rings HSBC Arena, the Sabres home, and a video ice projection system, which together cost about $3 million.
Kotalik to miss games with bad shoulder
'The 25-year-old Kotalik, who has 15 goals and 11 assists in 62 games this season, will undergo more tests to determine severity of his shoulder strain.'
Sabres RW Kotalik out with hurt shoulder
Sabres right wing Ales Kotalik had his right arm in a sling Thursday and is expected to miss at least the next two games because of a strained shoulder.
Memories Pouring Out
Remembering fond memories that fans have experienced with the Sabres has been a focal point this year for the Sabres organization. That trend will continue on Friday, February 27 when the Pour Man's Aud Club will be unveiled prior to the start of the Sabres and New York Islanders game. The ribbon cutting ceremony and inaugural first-pour scheduled for 6:00 PM.

Hank Lauricella was "Mr. Every-thing" during one of the most prominent stretches in UT football history. His small stature - 5-foot-11, 175 pounds - fit the mold of a Tennessee tailback in Gen. Robert R. Neyland's single-wing attack.
The 1948 recruits have been called the best freshman class in Vol history, and it is hard to argue.
By his 1950 sophomore campaign, Lauricella called all the plays as the tailback and also played safety. He earned All-SEC, but his best was yet to come.
In the 1951 Cotton Bowl against Texas, Lauricella set up Tennessee's first score with perhaps the most memorable run in school history. From the Vols' 20-yard line, Lauricella knifed his way through the Longhorns' defense and reversed field three times to allow for blocking help before finally being brought down at the Texas 5. The 75-yard run led to the Vols' first touchdown in a 20-14 win. Lauricella finished with 131 yards on the day.
He was named All-SEC and All-America in 1951, averaging 7.9 yards per carry in leading the Vols to a 10-0 regular season. Tennessee was named national champions prior to its Sugar Bowl appearance and Lauricella finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting.
During his career, Lauricella helped Tennessee to a 28-4-1 overall record, including a streak of 20 consecutive wins. He led the team in passing, rushing, total offense and punting his junior and senior years.
Lauricella later was elected to the Louisiana State House (8 years) and Senate (24 years).

Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 preview – Expanding the Nikon 1-Series lens lineupBy David Newton - Wednesday January 09 2013 Lens Preview
Adding to the 1 NIKKOR lens line-up, two new lenses expand the possibilities of the Nikon 1 system by offering an ultra wide-angle lens and a telephoto lens. Launched at CES 2013, they both feature Nikon's VR technology and optics optimised for the Nikon 1-Series cameras.
Announced alongside two new cameras in the Nikon 1-Series line-up, the Nikon 1 S1 and 1 J3, these two lenses bring added versatility to the Nikon 1-Series lineup.
Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6
The 6.7-13mm lens is the first ultra wide-angle lens for the Nikon 1 system. It provides the equivalent of an 18-35mm field of view in 35mm terms and has been designed for groups and landscapes and any other subject elsewhere a wide field-of-view is required. Fitting the ethos of the Nikon 1 system, the lens is small and light, but features a metallic exterior to enhance the feel and durability.
Image stabilisation is not often found in wide-angle lenses as they are less prone to camera shake than telephoto lenses, but it is included here to ensure sharp shots even in low light situation where the shutter speed may drop to levels that would otherwise result in blurry images. While it won't remove the need for a tripod, it will help and so for most shooting, your kit will be able to be kept smaller than it would otherwise need to be. A pretty good idea for such camera which are slightly limited in lowlight.
The aperture mechanism is different to normal too. Instead of moving in distinct click stops, it moves smoothly from one setting to the other so you can change the aperture setting even while filming a movie, without a distracting jump in exposure.
To help ensure image sharpness, the 6.7-13mm has been designed with both an aspherical element and an ED lens element. We'll have to wait until it is in the lab though, before we know how well it performs.
Nikon 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6
As a one-stop-shop lens, this new 10-100mm model from Nikon could be a very good choice. It offers a focal range that's equivalent to 27-270mm in 35mm terms and so will cover everything from general purpose shooting, to portraits and candid photography, as well as being useful for some closer wildlife and sports events.
Like the 6.7-13mm lens, this too features a Vibration Reduction (VR) function to help ensure sharp images when hand-holding. With such a long focal length available it is probably a setting best left on all the time.
In the quest for high image quality, the 10-100mm lens features an aspherical and an ED glass element, said to improve both contrast and resolution. How it performs in the tests though will largely be controlled by the focal range on offer – usually the longer the focal range, the more compromises have to be made in the optical design. This is especially true of compact lenses.
As with the 6.7-13mm lens, this model also features a smooth aperture mechanism to allow gradual changes in aperture while filming.
Price and availability
Both lenses are expected to be available in February 2013. The 1 NIKKOR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 will retail at an SRP of $499.95 USD while the 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f4-5.6 has an SRP of $549.95 USD.

CES has once again provided camera manufacturers with a launch pad for their latest round of consumer models. Nikon are no exception and have used the show to debut the latest models in the Nikon 1-Series line-up of interchangeable lens compact cameras. The 1 S1 and J3 feature 10.1- and 14.2-megapixel sensors respectively.
