These are the general rules we build our street stocks to for the tracks we run on. If you build to the exact letter of the rules you are going to end up making around 300 or so HP. This class is very competitive here in WI and some racers are willing to dump some significant dollars to make power, not unlike our Late Model series racers. The two areas where the power is made is tricks we have found in cylinder heads, the 052's, and lots of time on the cam doctor designing lobe profiles. Carbs have not been a source of major power. Those are teched pretty well so even a full blown Braswell carb is going to be only worth a couple, if that, HP as compared to a stock 4412. The carb spacer and type of "stock" intake though can really help out.
ENGINE -- Engine must be of same manufacturer as chassis and body. Maximum of two valves per cylinder. No Aluminum blocks or heads. Maximum displacement 362 cid (Chrysler products 373 cid). All engines must meet following specifications regardless of manufacturer; Stock or stock replacement cast iron untouched heads (no porting, polishing, acid dipping, or gasket matching allowed) required. The only stock replacement heads allowed are World Product SR 1052 #4266B and #4267B. Minimum combustion chamber 62cc, maximum 2.02-inch intake and 1.6-inch exhaust valves required. Valve spring retainers are the only titanium parts allowed. Flat top pistons required. A minimum of zero deck height required. Maximum 10.8 to one compression ratio. Steel connecting rods only. No Bowtie, Vortec or 18 degree heads allowed on GM products. Roller tip rocker arms allowed. A 3/4" inspection hole in oil pan required. ]nspection hole must be located in line with second or third rod journal of crankshaft, on either side of pan and above sump area (oil level). Hole in windage tray in line with inspection hole required.
CAMSHAFT & IGNITION -- Hydraulic cam only. Maximum lift at valve: GM-.480 inch, Ford/Mopar-.520 inch. No solid lifter or roller cams allowed. Stock type (HET) ignition components only. Any coil permitted. NO MSD boxes or duel-point distributors.
CARBURETOR -- Stock Unaltered 500 CFM Stock Holley 4412 2 bbl. Or I 3/8" Rochester allowed on all cars. $200 claim on any carb at any time (after racing event) by any competitor in Sportsman Division or management. No alterations except removal of choke "Butterfly" allowed. 1 1/4" maximum adapter/spacer plate allowed. Double return springs. Air cleaner required to act as flame arrester. No air induction boxes or ram air units allowed. Steel fuel lines required, remote fuel filter allowed.
INTAKE & EXHAUST MANIFOLDS -- Completely stock passenger car 2-bbl.. cast iron intake and exhaust manifolds required. No grinding, polishing or altering allowed. No Bow-Tie manifolds, internal heat riser crossover must remain in place. Center dump and log style manifolds allowed. Max exhaust manifold inside diameter 2-inches No cast iron header style exhaust manifolds allowed.
EXHAUST SYSTEM -- Maximum diameter 2 1/2" before collector and/or muffler, 1 1/2" maximum diameter behinds muffler. Exhaust must exit left or rear (not right side) and behind driver. Effective mufflers required, Collector or muffler must not be located forward of transmission, tOO-decibel limit measured from front row of bleachers. No car expelling flame, smoke or backfiring will be tolerated
Casper, no need to feel stupid. No matter what you do or how you do it I am sure you will have fun at the track once you start. If you don't want to spend a lot of money on the engine just build a stock 355 and bolt it in. Take the extra time to learn about setting up the chassis and practice whenever possible. No matter how much HP your motor is making if you can't roll through the corner and it doesn't hook coming out you are dead meat.
Bolting on a part that doesn't conform to the rules and is obvious, like mentioned, will get you in trouble. They can claim the part and will toss your points. If it's a gray area they may simply say don't show up again with that setup. Tech folks generally can catch the obvious violations so fully worked carbs, weight violations, incorrect head castings, intake castings, displacement errors and compression issues will get discovered. If the folks down your way are like those up here many of the top racers are pushing the rules. I suspect they know the tech officials and know what they know and what they don't know, then work the rules to their benefit. The better engine builders will certainly know what it takes to pass tech.

Wartner wart remover * Liquid Nitrogen Method *. Wartner is the only OTC product that treats warts in 20 seconds. Wartner is a new remedy for warts based on a proven technology. Wartner freezes the wart on the spot, resulting in the formation of an (in)visible blister under the wart. After about 10 days, the frozen skin with the treated wart will fall off. In the meantime, new skin will have been formed under the blister. Normal warts are benign growths which consist of a nucleus of connective tissue with blood vessels covered with layers of epithelial tissue. You can recognize a normal wart by its rough, 'cauliflower'-like surface. If you are not 100% certain whether the skin condition is a wart, consult your general practitioner. Wartner® consist of: An aerosol spray can with a mixture of dimethylether and propane, which is not harmful to the environment Holder for the foam applicator Ten foam applicators for ten treatments with Wartner® The information leaflet in which you can read everything about the product, the way it works and the treatment of warts with Wartner®. Follow up treatment Consult a physician if the aching, stinging sensation persists or if another complication occurs. Keep the treated area clean. Swimming and showering are permitted. Do not pick at or scratch the treated area. Protect blisters, if necessary with a plaster; do not puncture blisters. Cautions! Wartner is for the treatment of warts and not for other conditions which may resemble warts. If in doubt if your condition is a wart, please consult a General practitioner Do not use Wartner for moles, sun spots, birth marks or skin tags Wartner should never be used on areas of thin skin (e.g. face, neck, armpits, breasts, bottom) or on genital warts. Wartner is not suitable for diabetics, for people with poor circulation and during pregnancy. Not for use on children under the age of 4. Wartner contains inflammable components: Keep out of direct sunlight and do not expose to temperatures above 50°C. Do not apply Wartner whilst smoking or close to naked flames. If there are multiple warts or verrucas on a finger/or toe, treat only one at a time - treat each remaining wart or verruca separately with a two-week interval between treatments. Suitable for external use only. Use Wartner only in combination with the special foam applicators. Use one foam applicator for each wart or verruca and use each foam applicator only once. Store in a safe place. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not inhale vapour / spray and use only in well ventilated areas.

President Obama isn't exactly advocating instant replay for baseball, but he does suggest it's something that needs to be looked at.
"I think that baseball is going to have to take a look at what football and basketball already decided, which is replay may in some cases be appropriate," Obama said during a wide-ranging interview on NBC's Today show. "I'm not advocating for it ... I'm saying that you may have a take a look at it."
Obama was commenting on last week's blown ninth-inning call that cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game.
Major League Baseball made the right decision in not awarding Galarraga a perfect game after the fact, Obama said.
The president also praised Galarraga and umpire Jim Joyce for the way they handled what could have been a very ugly situation:
What was wonderful was how a potentially sour story ended up being, for me, an inspiring story. I think the class with which the pitcher handled it, the way Joyce owned up to making a mistake, the way the whole team went out there the next day and said, You know what? We all make mistakes. But you've had a great career as an umpire. I thought that that showed something about sportsmanship that you don't see enough.

text: Previous Next Previous Next The D-Day Coast, by Alan Harper (continued) There are seven yachting harbors on the D-Day coast, stretched between St. Vaast, located ten miles north of Utah Beach, and Ouistreham, the ferry port on the Caen Canal, which marked the eastern edge of the landing zone. These waters may not command the fearful respect of those belonging to neighboring Brittany, with its 35-foot tides and jagged rocks, but they still expect you to pay attention. The spring-tide range is more than 20 feet, and with the shoreline being predominantly shallow, shelving, and sandy, you've got to hold your cruising guide the right way up if you don't want to find yourself high and dry several miles offshore, instead of locking securely through into some snug overnight haven. St.Vaast is perhaps the most famous yachting center on this stretch of coast, long popular with English cruising boats, many of which make the trip here solely for the superb Saturday market—cheeses, seafood, smoked meats, truffles, the best of rural France—and to stock up at the legendary Monsieur Gosselin's, one street back from the Quai Vauban. In their own quiet way the French tend to regard their country as the center of world civilization, and in a shop like this you can see what they mean. The delicatessen stocks everything you can think of and a good many things you won't recognize, but proprietors are used to the culinary ignorance of foreigners and are happy to explain. The finest wines are in the dark cellar at the back of the shop, but for the more price-conscious, Gosselin bottles his own. Although the English Channel in December is grey, cold, and often stormy, British yachts routinely make the 70-mile crossing to stock up for Christmas at Gosselin's, or die of exposure in the attempt. It's worth it. Next ▶

Daughter of Persia: A Woman's Journey from Her Father's Harem through the… (1992)
by Sattareh Farman Farmaian
500 Great Books by Women (309)
Women in Islam (112)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0307339742, Paperback)An intimate and honest chronicle of the everyday life of Iranian women over the past century
"A lesson about the value of personal freedom and what happens to a nation when its people are denied the right to direct their own destiny. This is a book Americans should read." —Washington Post
The fifteenth of thirty-six children, Sattareh Farman Farmaian was born in Iran in 1921 to a wealthy and powerful shazdeh, or prince, and spent a happy childhood in her father's Tehran harem. Inspired and empowered by his ardent belief in education, she defied tradition by traveling alone at the age of twenty-three to the United States to study at the University of Southern California. Ten years later, she returned to Tehran and founded the first school of social work in Iran.
Intertwined with Sattareh's personal story is her unique perspective on the Iranian political and social upheaval that have rocked Iran throughout the twentieth century, from the 1953 American-backed coup that toppled democratic premier Mossadegh to the brutal regime of the Shah and Ayatollah Khomeini's fanatic and anti-Western Islamic Republic. In 1979, after two decades of tirelessly serving Iran's neediest, Sattareh was arrested as a counterrevolutionary and branded an imperialist by Ayatollah Khomeini's radical students.
Daughter of Persia is the remarkable story of a woman and a nation in the grip of profound change.

Anyone interface an iteadstudio 2.8 itb02 (ili9325 glcd) with PSOC sucessfully? | Cypress Semiconductor
Anyone interface an iteadstudio 2.8 itb02 (ili9325 glcd) with PSOC sucessfully?
I was able to get it to work a bit with a hacked version of UTFT and the GraphicLCDIntf component, but the licensing of that was not suitable for my needs, so I'm trying to use the emwin library. I cannot get the LCD to do anything beyond show a blank white screen.
I think I've edited all the files I'm supposed to, and have played around with the config a bit, but nothing.
The particular display I'm using is the 2.8" arduino shield, and I have a FreeSoc board (arduino compatible.) The shield uses an 8 bit, write-only interface.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Sorry for not including any code, but I'm not sure what would be useful to see. Thanks.
Just an update, to double check myself, I used the initializatin parameters from UTFT for the ili9325D, and it initializes to a black screen, or whatever was in the frameuffer before. (I can also send data directly using functions from the GraphicLCDIntf to write to the screen.)

Need help from Polish-speaking member
I've placed an order for some transformers with a polish company a few weeks ago. Until now I haven't received the parts and my emails to them (in English and German) have gone unanswered. If a Polish-speaking member can help me get in touch with the company and find out where my order is at I would be very happy. Please send me an email if you can help me, thanks :-)
Bump, anyone?
My wife speaks Polish, I'll ask her to help.

4th of July DUI Crackdown a Success
The Independence Day Weekend DUI crackdown is a success so far here in Sacramento County.
Various law enforcement agencies are working together this holiday weekend to keep the roadways safe from drunken drivers. From midnight Wednesday to midnight Thursday officers representing 17 county law enforcement agencies arrested 36 people for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Folsom Police Officer Andrew Bates said there were officers out just looking for impaired drivers. Those officers don't answer other calls or look for other types of crime.
Last year 54 people were arrested during the same time period.

'Once Upon a Time' course explores cultural influence of fairy tales
Without her knowledge, the dog continually removes quills – and saves the world.
"In Native American tradition, they don't want their old people to die because they are the sources of wisdom and the authorities in their culture," Mohamed Esa, professor of Foreign Languages, explains to students in his First Year Seminar course, Once Upon a Time. "They are the most revered."
Esa, who has taught a similar course to senior German majors, designed this course for first-year students as a way to delve into other cultures.
Freshman Christie Deblius said she has been intrigued to learn the imprints of various cultures on fairy and folk tales.
"It's neat to see how all different cultures influence stories that come from them," she said. "I've learned there are a whole bunch of Cinderella stories that vary based on the culture."
There is no culture on earth that doesn't have a folk or fairy tale tradition, Esa said. Folk and fairy tales are generally associated with German literature, especially with the Brothers Grimm, but there are strong traditions of tales in other cultures, he said.
For the course, Esa's students have spent the semester reading, discussing and analyzing folk and fairy tales from cultures around the world, including China, Bangladesh, India and the Caribbean. They have explored tales from the deaf, African-American and feminist cultures.
They also have examined modern adaptations, such as through film, music and art, of various tales and considered the tales from various perspectives, including religious, sociological and psychoanalytic approaches.
Esa said the course is an ideal First Year Seminar course because it combines writing, speaking and reading.
"It's also a class with different perspectives, such as literature, art, music, film, Sociology and Psychology," he said.
First-year students at McDaniel are required to take a first-year seminar during their initial semester. The courses are designed to help students make the transition from high school to college. The courses, which include a focus on developing writing and research skills, also are devised with an eye toward encouraging students to work together. First-year seminars are limited to 15 students, and the professor serves as the students' academic advisor for the first-year.
During a recent classroom session, Esa's students engaged in an exercise called making graffiti, something they frequently do in his class to help pull out their thoughts about what they have read. After they are done, they present their ideas to their classmates for further discussion.
"It's a great way for them to work as a group in collaborative learning to put their ideas into words," Esa said. "I'm amazed at how much they can talk once they put ideas on paper."
With large sheets of white drawing paper and markers in hand, they broke into small groups and soon were scribbling their thoughts – some using words, others by drawing – about the Native American tales they had recently read.
Freshman Jake Zanostny was part of the group that worked on "The End of the World," a tale that they found incredible for its suggestion that humans have the potential to end the world and it's the animals that save it.
Zanostny said he has been impressed with the volume of critical literature that is available on the topic of fairy and folk tales.
"We tend to describe fairy tales as child's play," Zanostny said. "But they continue to influence our culture even today."

Labor MPs have expressed anger that they are being counted among supporters of former prime minister Kevin Rudd, who is accused of inflating his numbers in caucus to destabilise the leadership of the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard.
A Fairfax/Nielsen poll published today revealed Labor's primary vote has risen by 4 points to 33 per cent, its highest level in almost a year, while in the two-party-preferred stakes the Coalition's lead has been cut by 8 points, although it still leads Labor 53-47 - an election-winning margin.
The opposition's primary vote fell 4 points to 45 per cent.
Ms Gillard's personal approval rating rose by 5 percentage points to 40 per cent and she leads the Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, as preferred prime minister by 2 points - a six-point increase up to 48 - for the first time in nine months.
But the poll carried a slight sting in the tail for the Prime Minister with 57 per cent of all voters nominating Mr Rudd as the preferred Labor leader compared with 35 per cent for Ms Gillard.
In October, the same question revealed Mr Rudd ahead of Ms Gillard by 61 per cent to 30 per cent.
But among Labor voters, Mr Rudd trails Ms Gillard by 47 - 50.
During a specially convened caucus meeting yesterday - at which Mr Rudd and about 20 other MPs were absent - Ms Gillard urged her MPs to display discipline after a week of intense speculation over the Labor leadership.
Ms Gillard told the party room to focus on the government's achievements and said the only group to benefit from party disunity was the opposition.
A number of Labor MPs were incensed by a weekend report in News Ltd newspapers that published a list of MPs purported to be supporters of Mr Rudd for a tilt at the leadership.
But sources accused the Foreign Minister of "overplaying" his support in caucus.
"It is typical of Kevin to assume that because there may be some concerns, and they are real concerns, that automatically he has a right to consider that vote in the party room as his," the MP said. "This sort of arrogance was his problem last time. There may be hard decisions to take down the track but we will not be bullied into it, especially not by misinformed leaks showing false numbers."
Trade Minister Craig Emerson also dismissed the report that listed him as one of 19 MPs who were undecided about who should lead the party.
''No one has phoned me,'' he said on ABC radio this morning.
The News Ltd report listed cabinet ministers Chris Bowen, Anthony Albanese, Robert McLelland, Martin Ferguson and Chris Evans as Rudd backers.
The list also included dumped cabinet minister Kim Carr and the embattled Labor MP Craig Thomson as supporting Mr Rudd in a leadership spill.
Ms Gillard moved further to assert her dominance over the leadership last night with an interview on the Seven Network's Sunday Night.
"If you are asking me if you think I can win the 2013 election, yes I can," she said.
Asked if she would lead the Labor Party into the same election, Ms Gillard replied, "yes."
"I'm leading a government that has of course been under a lot of political pressure and of course will continue to be under a lot of pressure," she said.
Ms Gillard reacted angrily when it was suggested she had failed to convey the strengths of her personality to the electorate and instead displayed a perceived lack of warmth.
"I'm not a talk-show host . . . I'm the Prime Minister," she said.
"I don't remember people looking at John Howard and saying, 'Gee, I wish he would be warmer and cuddlier and more humorous'. I think the same stand should apply for me."
Ms Gillard also received a measure of support from one of the figures who helped her to form government in 2010.
Key rural independent MP Tony Windsor said his support for the government was not guaranteed in the event of a change in the Labor leadership. Arriving at Parliament House this morning, Mr Windsor said a new leader would most likely need to call a snap election as the numbers on the floor of the house could not be relied upon.
''If a few people in the Labor party want to throw that away, for their own short-term political positions, well I think that would be a bit of a shame,'' Mr Windsor said.
''The National Broadband Network, the Murray Darling, the climate change agenda, the rent resource tax stuff. They are long term issues and if there was a strategy to change leaders at this moment . . . there would have to be a snap election otherwise it would be a waste of time doing it.''
Climate Change Minister Greg Combet today defended Ms Gillard's performance, saying she displayed ''nerves of steel'' in cobbling together the passage of the carbon tax.
''She is a tough and intelligent prime minister,'' he said. ''She has seen through some of the most difficult reforms you can take.''
The government will face a tough two weeks in the first parliamentary session of of the year with the opposition vowing to probe the government on two credibility issues, namely the investigation into Labor MP Craig Thomson and the Australia Day tent embassy debacle.
''The Craig Thomson affair...drags on and on and endlessly on,'' Mr Abbott said today. ''It really is up to the Prime Minister to state whether she has full confidence in Fair Work Australia's investigation. It is up to the Prime Minister to state whether she thinks it's acceptable for any Fair Work Australia report to remain secret.
''. . . as long as Craig Thomson remains under this terrible cloud, this will be a tainted government because it relies on the support of a tainted member.''
It will also be the first full sitting week for the new Speaker, Peter Slipper, who resigned from the Liberal National Party last year to sit as an independent.
The government will also be without the guaranteed support of independent MP Andrew Wilkie, who withdrew his backing after Ms Gillard reneged on her deal on poker machine reform - leaving it with a single-vote margin in the Parliament.

Investors piled into Ashmore's funds over the summer after regaining their appetite for emerging markets.
The money manager attracted net inflows of $600 million (£376 million) between July and September, increasing funds under its control to $78.5 billion.
The flows were strongest into its debt products and offset a sharp market sell-off in May and June when the US Federal Reserve said it was considering cutting back on its monetary stimulus.
Mark Coombs, who has run the emerging markets fund manager for the last two decades, said developed markets "continue to face uncertainty" and added: "We remain optimistic about the diverse range of emerging market investment opportunities that we can access on behalf of clients."
Shares in the company rose 5p to 397p.

A friend once commented that Sextant by Herbie Hancock was a very round record. I believe he was talking in the context of synesthesia, the abstract condition where senses cross polinate and to him the electronic tribal rhythms and bleating Moogs of one of the most palatable fusion records did indeed sound round. It didn't help his argument however that this was around 6am, we were all severely medicated and stood directly over a deck, watching Sextant spin round.
There is a form of mild synesthesia working in Australian band Alpine's Gasoline. bright, orangey brightness, maybe it's those guitars but it is bright like Houses of the Holy or Len's immortal Steal My Sunshine and comes wrapped in the hyperactive child cuteness of early Sugarcubes

wow i knew a guy one time that swore his mustang 5.0 would turn mid 10s and i waxed his ass with my moms old topaz lol
seriously thow if you cant turn mid 9s i dont give a shit about your car. im sure its cool and all just dont talk it up so much and people will beleive you a lot more.
my dad used to have a 68 firebird, the best it ever did was 9.6 and that took a very highly modified hemi and a whole lot of mods to the car. i cant remember off hand what the block was but it wasnt a true 426 hemi block , it had hemi heads on it and the displacememt worked out to around 413.
that car would tear the centers right out of the rims sadly it burned and that was the end of any racing my dad did. by the way the car was also (kind of) street legal.
if your serious about building real power dont talk about it, just do it. and pay attention to safety details. ive seen rear axles twist the back right off of cars and seen drive shafts go right threw the roof before.
back in highschool my dad built me an 80 camaro. it had a smallblock in it, you could get the driver side front wheel off the ground on take offs if you hooked up good but we never raced it. im geussing it would have only turned 13s.
problem with the camaro was no full frame. that engine basically ruined that car. couldnt keep good glass in it and tore the rear sub frame loose from the body.

Steve Chiotakis: The chocolate company Cadbury is now appealing to a U.K. regulator for help in its battle with Kraft. The American food giant is after Cadbury with a $16 billion takeover bid. From London, Marketplace's Stephen Beard has the latest.
Stephen Beard: Cadbury has asked the British Takeover Panel to intervene. It wants the panel to impose a deadline on Kraft, forcing the American company to make a formal offer to Cadbury's shareholders by a certain date or drop the bid. In effect, to put up or shut up.
Fundmanager Justin Urquart-Stewart says the panel has the legal power to make such an order and will likely use it:
Justin Urquart-Stewart: They want to make sure that companies don't have predator companies hanging over them like vultures for months on end and thus almost unable to carry out their business, knowing that someone is watching over their shoulder to see if they make one mistake and they get pounced on.
He says a deadline -- possibly the end of next month -- could flush out a higher bid from a rival confectioner like Nestle or Hershey. Or a better offer from Kraft itself. Last night, Cadbury's chief executive left that door open. He was quoted saying in the U.S. that combining with Kraft would make "some strategic sense."
In London, this is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

The result of those practices with Harris was a constant uptick in Irvin's skills. With this came attention, and lots of it. College coaches were even more persistent once Irvin took those skills to the AAU circuit with his loaded Eric Gordon All-Stars team. Irvin teamed up with some incredible talent – his team included the Indiana-bound duo Collin Hartman and Devin Davis, Purdue commit Basil Smotherman as well as Notre Dame commit VJ Beachem.
College coaches filled the stands to watch Irvin and his teammates play. Hartman and Davis committed to Indiana in November before their sophomore seasons and Smotherman would choose Purdue shortly thereafter. But Irvin stuck to the plan, avoiding the in-state pressure to commit early and heeding his parents advice to be patient and make a smart decision. Irvin took his visits and continued to process.
One school he visited, and was particularly taken with, was the University of Michigan. On his first visit, Jimmy Irvin recalled how Zak "fell in love" with the coaching staff for the Wolverines.
"And then he also liked the campus itself," Jimmy Irvin said. "We just felt that his game fit Beilein's system."
It was after his visit to Michigan that Irvin began to feel his affections switch from Indiana to Michigan.
"Once I took my visit up to Michigan I just felt like that was the place to be and that was the school for me," Irvin said. "So I started losing interest in Indiana and getting more interested in Michigan."
The Michigan coaching staff is clearly what impressed Irvin. In football, players generally commit to a school, a program, a tradition. In basketball, the decidedly smaller amount of players on a team leads to a generally closer relationship with coaches, especially assistants. In short, players commit to coaches, not schools. It's a generalization, but it makes sense. The coaching staff at Michigan made a huge impact on Irvin and heavily influenced his college search.
When Irvin received his offer from Michigan on June 15th the summer before his junior year, he knew he had a decision to make. At this point he had offers from Indiana, Illinois, Florida, Xavier, Butler, Tennessee and Cincinnati. But everything always came back to Michigan and the relationship he had with the John Beilein and his assistants LaVall Jordan, Jeff Meyer and Bacari Alexander.
"Definitely a huge thing that made Michigan stand out from the other schools I liked was Michigan's coaching staff," Irvin said. "I liked every single one of the coaches on there. You know, I had a great relationship with every single one of them. Not just the coach that recruited me, I had a good relationship with all the coaches."
Irvin committed to Michigan a month and a half after receiving his offer on July 31st.
There is still work to do. Without Harris by his side this high school season, the burden will be on him to take over the main scoring duties for his Southeastern team. There is reason to believe Irvin will step effortlessly into this role. During this past AAU season, a funny thing happened to the Eric Gordon All-Stars team. Among a team of high-major wing players, Irvin emerged as the team's clear go-to scorer. The versatile wing can drive the lane, handle the ball like a point guard and abuse teams from the perimeter.
Satterfield agreed that playing without Harris may provide a learning curve at first, but he sees Irvin as being able to make the adjustment quickly.
"A lot of defenses were geared toward keying on Gary as the main option last year and then looking at other options to try and shut us down this year, of course that going to be geared toward Zak, and that's going to be a little different perspective for him and a big challenge for him," Satterfield said. "But at the same time, I think he is one that's put in a lot of time and a lot of effort into his game. If you watched him over the summer and this fall, you can see that his game has taken that step to the next level. He's spent time in the weight room, which has made him stronger – he's going to have to definitely be prepared for that because people will probably try to be very physical with him and try and wear him down."
Indiana's Mr. Basketball is squarely in Irvin's sights, though Jimmy Irvin said that is far from his son's number one priority – that would be having a good senior season for his Southeastern squad.
Irvin could have picked Indiana but his father articulated a deeper reason for his decision to spurn his home-state school.
"He wanted to go off on his own and go to a place where he can build something himself rather than going to a school where a lot of his friends would have gone to," Jimmy Irvin said. "He just wanted to break away and do something different."
Irvin could be going to the school in his home state. The one with an iconic basketball arena and a ready-made tradition. The one many of his friends from the Indiana high school basketball scene (including two of his AAU teammates) chose to go to. Instead, Irvin has chosen to blaze his own trail at a school with a burgeoning tradition, with chapters in its history books yet to be written. He has chosen to build something, rather than contribute to something already built.
Zak Irvin should be going to Indiana, but he's not. He's going to Michigan.

It's a book I read years ago, though I suspect I didn't so much as read but rather look at the pictures. But the only thing I can remember from the book is that it had a picture that looked something like this:
The actual picture would obviously more professional than my dodgy rough sketch. And it was most definitely in colour; I think gouache, certainly something bright and opaque.
I am now on a mission to find this book! If anyone could recommend any possibilities, I'd be very grateful.
Because if I can't find it, then the alternative must be that I travel back in time and illustrate an edition of Heidi myself.

Classic StumbleUpon Traffic Optimization Articles
Even before publishing my post hailing StumbleUpon as the best traffic source in the world, 2 of my posts got stumbled in the meantime. This made me look closer at StumbleUpon optimization techniques.
In fact there were lots of articles that show ways of increasing traffic from StumbleUpon, a forerunner in the field of social media.
Does it make sense to optimize for StumbleUpon in the first place? Yes it does, I'd liek to quote famous web pros here: StumbleUpon traffic is
- "fantastic" (Moz)
- "a steady stream" (Problogger)
So now that you probably got the message check out these articles, the best come first this time:
- doshdosh: A Comprehensive Guide to StumbleUpon: How to Build Massive Traffic to Your Website
- doshdosh (again!): StumbleUpon Optimization: Leveraging Photo Stumbles for More Web Traffic
- Search Engine Land: 5 Tactics For Driving Traffic From StumbleUpon
- Ogletree SEO: Is Stumbleupon traffic worth getting?
These articles are more than you need to know about social media optimization for StumbleUpon.
What I like most about all those attempts at increasing StumbleUpon traffic are the ethics of them: It's pure white hat SEO 2.0! It's not even link bait like in the case of social news sites. It's just about using this social browsing service correctly.

I guess the 'bop' sub sea valve was'nt designed for the natural gas pressure experienced ( 60,000 ILbs)+ was it secured with a drill plate frame sufficiently large enough to have enough 2 metre rod wrall-expander bolts to cope with pressures above 60,000 Ibs example 200; and have to be fixed into hard substantial rock; wells of this complexity should have dual holes drilled as a matter of standard procedure; I hope they were not relying on ballast gravity of the rig itself! come on President Obama kick their arses and monitor their wells with government surveallance equipment 24 hours 7 days a week;

come on President Obama deal with these numpties quick!

Sounds like these idiots are doing something unsafe. I am not an American but if I were I would be sick at the pollution coming in. Guess it's what they deserve as Obama gave green light for more stuff like this, then withdrew. It's insatiable greed drives this stuff. Maybe A Inglis should be strung up and have his 2 million plus salary rammed down his throat?

6 million a day is nothing compared to what it will cost louisiana in the long run.check and dig deep and see how much money bp spent on contributions to obama and liberals and you might be able to see why the feds have let bp bullshit the public and why obama only does lip service to the problem.if this happened somewhere else the msm would complain a lot more and feds would have been all over it.

Daunting Risks often Dismissed
By Dwight Baker
May 24, 2011
[email protected]
Categorically risks are pursued in business as usual. Then when a break in the system occurs we often hear OH WELL. Or what is worse we will appoint an investigation panel, to find out what went wrong
The political elite has mastered the arts and sciences of not needing any personal skill sets. So they stumble along in a stupor not knowing much more than how to read a speech smile and shake hands. I think they are educated and prepared to be appeasers, coming in when all hell breaks loose and telling all it will be OK.
Now to those who think rationally sanely using common sense and reason as a guide none of those appeasers methods will ever work out. The best way to avoid high risks ventures is to not allow them to proceed.
Now think back to the BP blowout. For 92 days the appeasers said words that had no element of common sense and reason. The mumbo jumbo heard from our political elite was just as bad. Did that blown out well cause any involved to get a bad black eye? I dont think so!
The propaganda mills run 24/7 to move folks minds to another heart breaking tragedy. If not catastrophe then pomp and pageantry an upsurge of a global magnitude to draw people away from ---one of the hard questions in life --- how are we to survive?
That is where we are today. How are we to survive? Our rich Gulf of Mexico lays buried in oil and dispersants that are poisoning all. No signs from our political elite that any have skill sets to take the offenders to task. So I purpose that those elected to protect and serve we the People and spend our money wisely with prudence I fear most are empty suites. They play the part they look like they should ----- but in between their ears I think is empty space.
One said the American people are full of apathy; they seem to be following the lead of the political elite putting our dying or dead Gulf of Mexico on the back burner.
But has that kind of problem been around since the birth of humanity? I think so! History has evidence that many people have been blindly led into destruction of their lands and people at the will and hands of the political elite that took daunting risks that destroyed all they had.
So what can be done?
Bring in those with skill sets to eradicate the problems --- thus prove to the American people that a change must come to their apathetic ways of thinking and living.

Gripe and complain what are you going to get?
Another empty political suit that is an inane appeaser!
By Dwight Baker
May 24, 2011
[email protected]
To carve an elephant you take a block of wood and cut all away that does not look like an elephant.
To save our Gulf of Mexico you take a bite out of our political spin masters called inane appeasers and spit out all that is crap, then expose all that was spit out as trash.
Now go back to carving the elephant. If you do not have knives chisels and a few more tools carving that elephant is going to be almost impossible. And if you do not have an eye for what that elephant is to look like then you are lost before getting started.
The same is true about saving our Gulf. You must know the facts that you have studied out and be dead set with a mind of flint to take on any one who doubts your statements as facts. Thus debate with anyone and come out on top.
And toward that end all must go and be steadfast to finish that course in a reasonable time.
Simply too much is at risk and seems that the political and profitable propaganda machines run 24/7 and most Americans are sitting around wondering what else could go wrong
Instead of figuring out how much else can go wrong ---- step up and out as a leader and declare how each one can help with a strong voice and a vote for those in charge to hear us declare -----get to re-arraigning how political things are done and get to fixing our Gulf now.

The brother duo is at it again. They have done it in the past and now again after their last venture Mayakkam Enna struck Gold at the box office, reports are that both are collaborating for a film which may go on floors later this year or early next year.
Dhanush and Selva are currently completing their pending projects and are planning to join hands. Dhanush is leaving no stone unturned to promote his film 3 – Moonu which is slated to hit theatres early March whilst Selva is working on Irandam Ulagam with Arya and Anushka.
At the same time Selvaraghavan is working on a script where he hopes to cast his brother Dhanush in the lead. The hunt is also on for a lead that shall be cast in the film's Telugu version.
The duo has made some many successful films in the past which include Thulluvadho Ilamai, kaadal Konden which starred Dhanush and Selva's then girlfriend Sonia Agarwal which was a huge success at the box office and made Dhanush's career reach great heights. Selvaraghavan and Dhanush also came together for Yaraadi Nee Mohinin which was penned by Selva and starred Nayantara. While Puddhupettai was a benchmark film from the duo, reports are also strong that their latest venture Mayakkam Enna is even better than Puddhupettai and is surely worthy of a National Award.
This deadly combination might be very few films old but they know their job well. Expectations surely would be on a high considering that these two are coming back once again. Only time will tell about the merriness at the box office. But all said this film, whenever it releases or goes on floors is sure to set eyeballs rolling and garner huge hype. We hope to see you set the screen on fire soon.

I couldn't find an updated DIY with working pics, so I decided to make my own!
(Not my fault if you blah blah don't be an idiot)
- 7mm Allen wrench
- C-clamp or F-clamp. Needs to fit inside the caliper (see below) and around the back of the caliper.
- Hammer or rubber mallet for bolt-turning and rotor-removing
- Turkey baster or other device to extract some brake fluid
- New rotors/pads
1. Remove wheel. If you don't know how to do this, STOP. Here's what you see:
At the back of the caliper you can see the sensor cable (driver side only). There's two bolts holding the caliper on at top and bottom; the top one is pointed out where it peeks between the caliper and the hub:
There's little plastic end caps that you can pull off.
Here's a shot from the back. The arrow points to where you insert the Allen wrench to turn and remove the top bolt (bottom is similar):
2. Unplug the sensor cable. (Since I wasn't changing my pads, and the cable was a b!tch to disconnect, I just left it.)
3. Remove both plastic caps. Then stick the Allen wrench into the top hole in the caliper and turn. (Remember it's facing you, so turn RIGHT, not left.) I had to hit the Allen wrench with a hammer 8-10 times before it finally moved. Sorry the picture is crappy:
3. Repeat for the bottom hole. The bolts look like this:
4. Once the bolts are out, the caliper slides off of the rotor. It's heavier than you think. Most people recommend hanging it from the suspension coil, but it's much easier to just find a box you can rest it on. Be careful not to kink or twist the brake line:
5. Now you have access to the rotor itself. It's held on by a single screw, but the screw can be tough. I had to spray the screw with WD40 and leave it for a minute before getting it to turn:
6. Now it's time to get the rotor off. Rotors are notorious (on most cars, not just Dubs) for getting fused to the hub and refusing to budge. If this happens to you, spray around the seam with WD40 and then start tugging. BE CAREFUL you don't yank the car off the jack stand!
If it's still on, start hitting the back of the rotor with a rubber mallet or hammer. Don't worry; you're not gonna break it. (You're not using this rotor any more any way!) Be firm with it. I was just about convinced it wasn't gonna come off when it fell off, so keep it up!
YAY! You got it. Here's the naked hub:
7. Put the new rotor on. To avoid it getting stuck next time, you might want a thin layer of anti-seize compound around the hub where it makes contact with the rotor. Put the screw back in to hold it in place.
8. I didn't change my pads (the rotors were warped) but they're easy to change at this point; yank em out of the caliper and install the new ones.
9. Now you gotta put the caliper back on. Since the new rotor and pads are thicker than the old ones, the caliper won't just slide back on; you need to compress it just a little bit.
(I was really at this point; how would I compress the piston and get the caliper on at the same time? Little did I know that, when you compress it, it doesn't bounce back; the piston stays compressed until the next time you push your brake pedal.)
10. Don't skip this step! Pop your hood and find the brake fluid overflow tank. Unscrew it and use a turkey baster or similar instrument to extract some fluid from the container. This keeps it from overflowing when you compress the piston:
11. Then, use your F-clamp or C-clamp to smush the piston in the caliper. The picture hopefully shows how you should position it: one end against the inside pad, the other end on the back side of the caliper somewhere:
Keep fiddling with it until you've expanded the gap enough to fit the caliper back on the rotor. It should slide right back on.
12. Plug the sensor cable back in, then get to work screwing the bolts back in. Because of the weird bolts, it was harder than I thought it would be to properly line them up and screw em in. Remember the plastic caps when you're done.
13. Squirt the brake fluid back into the container under the hood (hehe, "squirt") and screw the cap back on.
14. Pump the brake a couple times, then make sure the brakes work to get you out the driveway.
That's it! Email me with questions: firstname.lastname@example.com

A Planned Parenthood representative shocked Florida House members when she testified at a committee hearing that she believes it's OK to end a baby's life if it survives a botched abortion.
Alisa Laport Snow of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates said the decision to allow an infant to live or die following an abortion gone awry should be left to the mother and her abortionist, The Weekly Standard reported.
"So, um, it is just really hard for me to even ask you this question because I'm almost in disbelief," Rep. Jim Boyd said. "If a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion, what would Planned Parenthood want to have happen to that child that is struggling for life?"
"We believe that any decision that's made should be left up to the woman, her family and the physician," Snow said.
Rep. Jose Oliva pressed Snow further when she repeated that the decision "should be between the patient and the health care provider," asking: "I think that at that point, the patient would be the child struggling on the table. Wouldn't you agree?"
"That's a very good question. I really don't know how to answer that," Snow said. "I would be glad to have some more conversations with you about this."
Dr. Kermit Gosnel is currently on trial in a Philadelphia courtroom for murder — for killing babies born alive after late-term abortions.
Read more at The Weekly Standard. The most relevant 6 minutes of the testimony follows, however, the entire 39 minute exchange is also available at The Weekly Standard.

At night I head downstars for a smoke (I know, I know. No need for anyone to tell me. Im studying and stressed and I want to.) Anyway, there is a youngish girl (possibly early 20s) that lives below me on the 2nd floor. When I smoke my head is swimming with language and study related stuff. The last 2 nights I have accidently tried to get into her room at close to midnight by accident. I feel bad for her and Im worried that I have scared her. Fingers crossed I dont do it again.

The return of Parliament after an election year usually feels like the morning after a very big party. Some of the more outrageous poll-driven policy gyrations are by unspoken collective agreement quietly forgotten, the crazier excesses of rhetoric toned down, the less affordable of the grand election promises tidied up and taken out with the old corflutes in the rubbish.
Then the winner gets on with governing and the losers try to keep the winner accountable while dreaming up policies that might change the outcome next time.
Not this year. Tony Abbott didn't like the way the election year wound up, so he has pumped up the volume and carried on. He remains in full campaign-style frenzy.
By some important measures, it's working. In the Newspoll released earlier this week Labor recorded its lowest primary vote since 1993 and the Coalition was well ahead on a two-party preferred basis.
By others, it's not. A normal early-term opposition would either have waved through the government's $1.8 billion flood levy or found fault with some of its detail. Not Abbott. He's linked the one-year means-tested levy to the mining tax and the carbon tax to draw the detailed policy conclusion that the government is in fact ''addicted to tax''.
No matter that the Gillard government has met its pledge to keep tax as a proportion of gross domestic product lower than its level at the end of the Howard years, and will continue to do so even if the flood levy is imposed.
No matter that the Howard government imposed several levies or that the carbon tax - like the emissions trading scheme before it - is likely to be designed to change behaviour rather than raise revenue, with the receipts returned to low-income households, new technology development or industries put at a short-term disadvantage in comparison with competitors overseas.
Having made such an issue of the fact that the budget was in deficit during the election campaign, Abbott felt obliged to find hypothetical savings that could make up for what the government was proposing to get from the levy. (Confusingly, he also then proposed big increases in disaster relief funding - which would bump up the reconstruction bill - but let's leave that to one side for the moment.)
An early brainwave for the hypothetical savings was to slash the budget for foreign aid. That was knocked off at the insistence of his deputy and spokeswoman on foreign affairs, Julie Bishop, but the eventual substitute idea to take $448 million from a Howard government-initiated program to fund Indonesian schools was smashed by the government and aid experts. More damagingly for Abbott, his own colleagues started leaking about whose bad idea it was and then leaking about whose ambitions lay behind all the leaking.
Another hypothetical cut that has left some senior Liberals dumbstruck is the $500 million cut from Labor's car industry funding.
Plenty of people on both sides of Parliament question whether Australia should be in the international game of offering financial inducements for car makers to set up their manufacturing operations. But even some of those same people understand that having promised such funding and seen car makers make investments relying upon it, it is unwise to snatch it back, particularly without consultation.
The car makers were mad enough when Labor cut $234 million from its green car innovation fund, also as part of the package to pay for the flood reconstruction bill. But that was at least money supposed to smooth the way for investments not yet made.
The upshot of the oppose-the-levy strategy has been to focus attention on the Coalition's divisions
The $500 million would come from the Automotive Transformation Scheme - a funding stream the car makers factor into existing operations. They insist the policy would mean the loss of jobs.
Just how many requires them first to figure out the policy, which isn't easy. Announcing it, Abbott said it took ''the level of automotive assistance back to the level that the Howard government thought necessary in 2007. It removes the additional assistance to the motor industry that the government has provided largely through the stimulus package''. Under the Howard government, automotive assistance was to end in 2015.
But when questioned by the Herald, a spokeswoman for the opposition spokeswoman on industry, Sophie Mirabella, said that after cutting the program for three years, the Coalition would then return the scheme to Labor's funding levels in 2015 and leave it there until 2020 - bumping it back up to somewhere more than $300 million a year.
Either way, senior Liberals have called the policy ''politically untenable'' and vowed to work internally to overturn it, as part of the real policy-making ahead of the next election, rather than the hypothetical policy-making to try to score a political point.
The upshot of the whole oppose-the-levy strategy has been to focus attention on the Coalition's internal divisions and ''bad news'' stories in order to promote spending cuts that won't ever happen and will probably be forgotten by the time we next go to the polls.
The aim of the constant election-style political attack is apparently to change the minds of the independents and convince them to switch sides and install Abbott in The Lodge. Liberal sources are busy briefing that the independents are on the verge of doing exactly this. They say Rob Oakeshott is looking for a good excuse to abandon his support for Julia Gillard because of the backlash he is getting in his electorate.
But when you ask the man himself, the answer is very different. Oakeshott said he's not going to start talking about the Coalition's economic credibility until he gets an adequate response to the $7 billion to $11 billion black hole in their election funding.
And Tony Windsor was pretty clear when he accused Abbott of playing a ''petty game'' with flood victims' tragic circumstances and trying to use them as a ''skateboard to government''.
By trying for the best attack line in every news cycle, the Coalition is ignoring the kind of detailed policy scrutiny the independents, not to mention the public, might find convincing. Even senior members of his own party are urging Abbott to tone down the attack. Sure, the government does not have a majority and is inherently unstable. But the election party is over.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The 12-3 New England Patriots will host the 6-9 Buffalo Bills on Sunday to wrap up the 2011 NFL regular season. The two teams are heading in opposite directions, as the Patriots have won their last seven games, and the Bills have just one win over that stretch. The Bills beat the Patriots by a score of 34-31 when the two teams played in upstate New York earlier this year. The Patriots clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win or tie.
Both QB Tom Brady and TE Rob Gronkowski have a chance to make history against the Dolphins. Tom Brady is 190 passing yards away from the single-season passing yards record that is currently owned by Saints QB Drew Brees. Brees broke the previous record of 5,084, owned by former Dolphins' QB Dan Marino, on Monday night. Rob Gronkowski needs only 72 yards to reach Kellen Winslow's record for single-season receiving yards for a tight end.
With a bye week coming up next week, the Patriots' biggest goal in this game is probably just to stay healthy. Left Guard Logan Mankins (Knee) and Right Tackle Sebastian Vollmer (Foot) did not practice this week and will not play. QB Tom Brady was limited in practice with a left shoulder injury but the team says he is ready to go. That being said, he likely won't play much after halftime.
