- ExpensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/29/2014Our server was really excellent and the steaks were perfection. However, while our group of three shared one bottle of wine, one appetizer, one dessert and one au gratin dish, the bill, with a 20% tip, came to $350. The price guarantees we will only visit Perry's on very special occasions.Special Features:
- Nice dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/28/2014If you want to take that pedal person for a nice dinner... This is the place!Special Features:
- OMG 8 oz filet was to die forOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 10/26/2014They add a special touch of rose petals on the table for special occasions. Staff very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- love the food but lacking in serv.akasteakloversDined on 10/26/2014we like to save our left overs for another day. 1st the salad went in the trash instead of togo, he took our 22 oz steak to the back to box up and came to the table to box the pork (tried to throw out part of that too). we each only had a slice of the steak because it was over cooked ,med rare is what we ordered. and he brought it to the table looking very tasty,cut it up for us and threw the juice out. this makes for a bad left over steak not sure what happened to the rest when it went to the back to get boxed up. didnt really like that idea. hhmmm. yes mistakes happen maybe he dropped some of the steak in the back. thats ok. also he accidently tried to charge us for someone elses plate on there but fixed the bill.Special Features:
- PerfectOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014This was our first time at Perry's.. It was my wife's Bday and it was absolutely perfect. Best steaks we've had here, and the seafood tower was outstanding. The wine list was extensive and Eric Wheelwright was a great help with picking what we wanted. Overall A++Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WalkerDined on 10/25/2014Perry's has a lot of potential. Service is an area that needs a lot of improvement at Perry's. I was shocked that my waiter was not terribly familiar with the menu or wine list and was unable to recommend any wine/food pairings. I suspect he was fairly new, but his lack of knowledge is reflective of a poor training program. He also struggled to handle the 4 tables assigned to him, which included a 6 top, 4 top, 2 top, and my table (a 2 top). In a restaurant like Perry's, I have much higher expectations. I ordered their signature Pork dish and after the nice presentation and carving table side, the server dropped the plate. Fortunately, they carved up another pork chop and the "eyelash" tasted great, but the rips were too fatty.Special Features:
- Excellent!WildPartyof2VIPDined on 10/24/2014Took my parents here for a celebratory dinner. As usual everything was excellent. Hint for people that have never been here: Try the Pork Chop and bring your appetite.Special Features:

- Ref: Piped in MusicOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Music was very loud, and selection of music type (rock and roll) was probably not the best choice for a higher end steak house. A little nerve wracking. But the pork chops were delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pork Chop Friday is an experience!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Everyone should experience Pork Chop Friday at Perry's at least once in their lives. The pork chop is AMAZING and at a great price on Fridays. We also had the tuna tartar appetizer and it was brilliant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary LunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Marci and Jesse thank you for making my Anniversary a great one. Looking forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excelente!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014Learned my lesson - best to go to Perry's!!! So easy to make reservations! It as quick and easy, parking was not a problem at 11:15 a.m.Special Features:
- Better than advertisedMIkeDined on 10/18/2014Food, service, and ambiance were exceptional. Made our anniversary extra special. Will definitely be back again.Special Features:
- Great food, poor serviceJACRDined on 10/18/2014this was our second time to visit Perry's and we expected to have the same top-notch service we had the first time. This was not to be the case. Our waiter was more interested in "visiting" with his regulars at tables around us, rather than attending to newcomers. We asked several times for drinks -- we would order with him, then he would go off. Come back later to check on it, and we would remind him about our drink orders. When our food came out (table for 5) the servers kept putting the plates down in front of the wrong person. He was at the table right next to us, telling that couple to be sure and ask for him next time they came in... while his poor servers were trying to figure out which person order which plate. Not good.Special Features:
- Excellent!lisaDined on 10/18/2014Everything was wonderful, just as it always is! Mom had a great birthday!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good foos, little noisyLoveagoodsteakVIPDined on 10/17/2014Food always good, excellent service, little too noisy and crowded feeling at times, but overall one of the better eating spots in SA areaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- service was great, but...richard123Dined on 10/16/2014Our server, Mark, did a great job for us. That by itself would bring us back. We had a prime ribeye and a surf and turf. the lobster tail was the best my wife and I had ever tasted!! The steaks were just ok...I expected better for the price. We had only been to a Perrys in Houston where the steaks were "melt in your mouth" good. My wife ordered her filet medium rare; it came out gray in the middle and dry. Mark replaced it and the second one was much better. All in all, the meal was very goodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- As Usual With No ChangesRobertDined on 10/12/2014Well...My daughter did well on her report card. The first place she asked to go was Perry's. I had no complaints. The service is amazing. The Pork Chop is what I get almost exclusively when I am with my wife. My daughter jumps on the Kobe burger. This time she added a different cheese. Let's just say is would be a crime to add any mustard, mayonnaise, or any other condiment. I enjoy going there. There is only one thing that I would warn. The sides usually have much onion and garlic. I am completely taken with that. I enjoy strong tastes. My wife, however, is sensitive to that. Funny thing is that the strong tastes of the Pork Chop are different. The desserts are very good. Truffle, Cheesecake, and the Creme Brûlée were out of this world.Special Features:
- one of my favorites!rickDined on 10/12/2014Perry's is definitely among my top two, when I need that special restaurant for that special occasion. Location is ideal. Upscale ambience, with busy, though not obtrusive background noise. We were in pretty fancy attire, but dressy casual would definitely be ok. Service is spot on, from reception, to bar service, to wait staff. Brian was our waiter, and I remember him from my previous visits...the compleat professional!! Excellent service to me, is the waiter barely noticeable, but never leaves one searching to satisfy a request: ever present and helpful, but under the radar, so to speak. We enjoyed seafood: tuna and seabass were, and are consistently delicious. One issue: bar and restaurant close at 9:00 on sunday: too early!Special Features:
- Just what we were looking for.NearbyVIPDined on 10/12/2014On a Sunday evening, we wanted to have a quiet meal to close out a great weekend. The atmosphere at the restaurant was nice, the food was excellent and the service was even better. Our server, Brian was friendly and helpful which added to the experience while on the road. I have been to several Perry's restaurants and this was one of the best.Special Features:
- Absolutely the best ...JesusChristLoverDined on 10/11/2014Pork Chops I have ever tasted in my life!!! Perry's Steak and Grille has unbelievable food, the quality, the taste, and the service is by far the best in San Antonio! Bravo Zulu to Perry's!!!Special Features:

- Lunch is AMAZING!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/10/2014I had the chop (my usual) and my wife had the Meditterranean Steak salad. We both were very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere! We made a reservation so we walked in and were seated right away.Special Features:
- Lunch 10-10-14Cubic96Dined on 10/10/2014Food was fantastic as usual, however this time we were seated at table that was too close to large party table next to us. Waiter had to shimmy through our table and kind of felt his back side was brushing our food. I do understand all space is needed for diners but in my opinion that small two person table is in a very bad location.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth itChrisDined on 10/10/2014I had my reservation online. Easy as 1 2 3. And then we went there and we were seated immediately! No waiting time. Like you're a priority. We had the lunch special it was so good. Waiters help other waiters also who's busy. Overall i am happy with food service everything. Would go back SOONSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- greatfleazDined on 10/10/2014I must say the second time around was just as great as the first time. This time I took my brother and he was truly impressed by the food and our waiter Brian. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. I can't wait to take my sister who lives in Houston. I know there is a Perry's there but I think the one in San Antonio is better.Special Features:
- Gerar food, service & winejcmahbubDined on 10/9/2014One of the best services I've ever had and also the food was amazing. The wine selection is incredible!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food Fantastic,Price???OllieDined on 10/9/2014We eat out frequently and this was our first visit to Perry's restaurant. It was a special occasion and we went with a couple that highly recommended Perry's. The ambiance,food, and service were at the top of the list of all restaurants we have visited.The price was by far the most we have ever paid and we had neither an appetizer or desert. We love luxury but feel paying $200+ for a meal is a little off scale. We may wait for a special occasion before going back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday chopbigdaddyDined on 10/5/2014I have eaten at perry's probably 20 times. First time I did I had a steak and loves it but seen someone at another table having the chop. I had to ask the waiter what it was. He said it's out famous chop. Since then I've never had anything else. Every one I have taken has also enjoyed the chop and always recommends it to there friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- San Diego VisitorRonaldoDined on 10/5/2014Perry'w was recommended to us by a clerk in a consignment shop, "Too Good To Be Threw," so we decided to try it, and made a reservation online when their phone went unanswered. Being from out of town, it was difficult to fine, but what a nice find! Except for the music being a little too loud, ambience was very upscale, food was superb like their specialty huge pork chop. Service was very attentive, and the entire experience was worth the drive. Most take some of their meal home portions are very large but very delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Do Not Eat here close to closingwinedivvaVIPDined on 10/4/2014I live in Austin, having not dined at Perry's Austin we decided to try the San Antonio Location. Granted we arrived late for our reservation which was close to closing time HOWEVER the service we received was absolutely HORRID! Jesse our waiter was in such a rush we should have cancelled and dined elsewhere. The escargot was not good, the steak was over salted, asparagus was boring. The only saving grace was our tableside dessert which was flaming caramel pecan sauce over ice cream. Overall NOT a good experience.Special Features:
- Our Waitress Alex was amazing.Romance2dineDined on 10/4/2014Our Waitress Alex was amazing. It was my wife's and cousins birthday. We wanted it to be a soecial moment. My wife travels all over the country with her work as she is a PHD and a top researcher. She had the most incredile night and was impressed with Alex's focus to detail and Alex made sure that every little detail was to perfection.Special Features:
- Excellent dinning experienceChopLoverDined on 10/4/2014I went to celebrate a birthday with the whole family (group of 9 kids included) the service was superb and the food delicious. The pork shops are the best ever and the other meat cuts where cooked to perfection. The kids menu is very good and the children had no trouble finishing their food. Looking forward to the next time.Special Features:

Fuck it all, I like you. I do, but I'm working kind of hard not to do things neither of us have any business being ready to do. So no, it was not a date when I asked, it was me wanting to take someone I think is awesome to do something he'd like. It would have been really fucking rude for me to ask you out knowing you don't know that I am.
Moreover, yeah, I did… uhm… stuff with Ares. It's been made abundantly clear to me that I'm a slut for it. Shortly after that, I kind of realized I was doing the "feelings" thing, which I had decided not to do anymore. I failed at that and I like you, and I'm awful and now I am openly a slut.
*Leans in and kisses him again.* I don't think you have to try terribly hard.
*grins laughing* I'll see what I can do to make it happen.

Ground Breaking Ceremony for New Jersey's First Affordable Supportive Rental Housing for People Living with Multiple Sclerosis
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for Kershaw Commons—named after Raymond A. Kershaw, former Mayor of Freehold and MS advocate— took place yesterday, August 17. Not only is Kershaw Commons New Jersey's first affordable supportive rental housing for people living with Multiple Sclerosis, but it is the first of its kind on the east coast.
Among the many supporters who came out to celebrate the momentous occasion, some notable speakers included Michael Elkow from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Commissioner Lori Grifa from the NJ Department of Community Affairs, John Gribbin, the President and CEO of CentraState Healthcare System, Mayor Anthony Ammiano of the Township of Freehold, and Carol Kershaw.
Regan Development Corporation retained BartonPartners for the design of a prototypical facility expressly for those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system leading to various levels and forms of disability. The site for the Kershaw Commons is Applewood Estates, a full-service senior living residential community owned and operated by the CentraState Healthcare System. The goal of this new facility is to provide housing specifically designed for a segment of the population currently under-served by existing housing models.
The design of Kershaw Commons puts the needs of those living with MS first. The facility will include 31 individual living units. Every apartment kitchen is designed for the specific needs of the residents with such accessible features as cabinets with roll under access and slide out shelving; front control range/ovens; and countertop microwaves. Other accessible features include: transfer and roll-in showers; accessible light and thermostat controls; automated door openers; roll-out linen shelves; and 42" wide doors throughout the entire facility.
Areas for administrative functions, as well as common areas for recreation and activities are included within Kershaw Commons. The building will be equipped with a Wellness Suite that includes exam rooms and a physical therapy area geared towards the specific needs of the residents.
The site will be developed with a landscaped main entryway, fully accessible walking trail, and accessible raised garden. Outdoor sitting areas will adorn the exterior. All of the exterior amenities will be located along an accessible route for the residents and visitors.

"A classic is something everyone wants to have read and nobody wants to read."Mainstream Obscurity is what happens to a work when it lands on pretty much every critic's top 10 list, has fantastic word of mouth on many amateur review sites, and is one of the most truly well-known works in media, yet only two in any random ten people have actually seen it. Oh, sure, the facts about the work are so well known that a lot of people might think they've seen it, or might even feel they don't have to see it, but the number of people who have actually experienced it is pretty low comparatively. When the work has become so famous that "everybody else knows about it"- yet no one has actually read or seen the work, that work is wallowing in Mainstream Obscurity. If the work is considered True Art, and True Art Is Incomprehensible, sometimes people assume that the work will be way over their heads, so they don't even bother. Even university students studying the subject in question don't read many "classic" works for research. Many philosophical and sociological tomes are dense defenses of their theory and rebuttals to critics. Reading Kant's Critique of Pure Reason front-to-back, for example, is not only time-consuming, but possibly more confusing than reading an informed summary. Explanation Furthermore, those studying the "pure" sciences or technology will usually never be called upon to look at any seminal scientific works at all, simply because Science Marches On. Not only will the material and conclusions have been repeated, refined and summarised in all of the later books on the subject, but later research will have filled in gaps in the work, pointed out errors and highlighted new areas of study. People, groups and entire genres can also be swallowed by Mainstream Obscurity. A "famous author" can be widely read, best-selling but largely unread, widely quote-mined or just well known for "being an author". Iconic movie stars have their image reproduced in so many other places that it is easy to recognise their faces without having to ever watch any of the movies they starred in. Likewise, people can be widely aware of an artistic movement or genre, but unable to describe what it was about, or name any artists or works from it. It should also be noted that there is a danger in assuming that because they haven't read/watched/heard a work, that no one else has. Likewise, one should not assume that a work is more famous than it actually is. The reverse of Fan Myopia. Often happens when a Cult Classic becomes so well known for being a cult classic (due to Popcultural Osmosis) that the cult classic becomes mainstream. This can of course lead to Adaptation Displacement and Beam Me Up, Scotty!. See also Praising Shows You Don't Watch, where people, well, do exactly that. Some of these can also be well-known for historical controversy. See also Small Reference Pools.

Scientific analysis can help policy makers in such choices by making the tradeoffs clearer. Three factors affect the frequency of false negatives and false positives with any diagnostic test procedure: its accuracy (criterion validity), the threshold used for declaring a test result positive, and the base rate of the condition being diagnosed (here, deception about serious security matters). If a diagnostic procedure can be made more accurate, the result is to reduce both false negatives and false positives. With a procedure of any given level of accuracy, however, the only way to reduce the frequency of one kind of error is by adjusting the decision threshold—but doing this always increases the frequency of the other kind of error. Thus, it is possible to increase the proportion of guilty individuals caught by a polygraph test (i.e., to reduce the frequency of false negatives), but only by increasing the proportion of innocent individuals whom the test cannot distinguish from guilty ones (i.e., frequency of false positives). Decisions about how, when, and whether to use the polygraph for screening should consider what is known about these tradeoffs so that the tradeoffs actually made reflect deliberate policy choices.
Tradeoffs between false positives and false negatives can be calculated mathematically, using Bayes' theorem (Weinstein and Fineberg, 1980; Lindley, 1998). One useful way to characterize the tradeoff in security screening is with a single number that we call the false positive index: the number of false positive cases to be expected for each deceptive individual correctly identified by a test. The index depends on the accuracy of the test; the threshold set for declaring a test positive; and the proportion, or base rate, of individuals in the population with the condition being tested (deception, in this case). The specific mathematical relationship of the index to these factors, and hence the exact value for any combination of accuracy (A), threshold, and base rate, depends on the shape of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve at a given level of accuracy, although the character of the relationship is similar across all plausible shapes (Swets, 1986a, 1996:Chapter 3). Hence, for illustrative purposes we assume that the ROC shapes are determined by the simplest common model, the equivariance binormal model.1 Because this model, while not implausible, was chosen for simplicity and convenience, the numerical results below should not be taken literally. However, their orders of magnitude are unlikely to change for any alternative class of ROC curves that would be credible for real-world polygraph test performance, and the basic trends conveyed are inherent to the mathematics of diagnosis and screening.
Although accuracy, detection threshold, and base rate all affect the

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My concern with Greenway is the lack of security. I can walk into the school to a classroom and no one noticed me. crazy!
This is a excellent example of a school full of people that just go to work and clock in and out...dont care about the kids or parents needs or feelings...people that just look at this like a job to get paid...my kids went to different school for the head start program and it was an amazing experience, my kids were really excited about starting school in Greenway ...now I cannot wait for the school year to be over and move my kids out...like the other review said..staff is really rude and the kindergarten teacher have a lack of skills for being a teacher and to talk to parents...So good luck to the future students
I feel compelled to comment about Greenway after reading some of the comments on here. I have a daughter in 2nd grade. We have had 3 different teachers at Greenway and they have all been wonderful. I know that one of the Kindergarten teachers is not easy for parents to talk to but she is amazing with the kids. I spent time in her class on a weekly basis and her awkward nature with parents disappears. To this day she is my daughter's favorite teacher. We are a small, high poverty school. We struggle with funding and parent involvement. We are also a nationally recognized Title 1 school with the highest rating the state can give a school. I love it there, the teachers and office staff have always been helpful to me.
The office staff is rude and disorganized. The teacher (K) has poor and ineffectual communication skills as well as being obtuse about the children in her class. I cannot wait to move to a new school district. Greenway Elementary is a nightmare.
My son transfered out after kindergarten and we moved to keep our son from returning to this school. While I can say great things about the PTO, I think a school can only be as good as the principal and the principal is ruining it. I notice the good reviews seem to be about a time before the current principal was there.
This was a fantastic school for my son, who's now in high school. His teachers saw right away how bright he was, and got him into the TAG program. His teachers, 1st-5th grades, saw he needed to be challenged, and made sure he was given the higher level work. They really fed his curiosity. He really thrived there and gave him the foundation to get into a challenging middle school, and is now in the National Honor Society. The teaching staff is super dedicated!
I have one child attending this school and can't really say anything is wrong or spectacular about it. They do have awesome parent involvement and fundraising opportunities. The PTO is great, but in need of assistance. The office staff is alright, but a bit flaky. Unfortunately, I had such a spectacular experience at our previous elementary school, it's hard to adjust.
My children attended this school from K-4th grade. While the first three years were amazing, the entire environment changed when the current principal took over. The PTO begs for help, and the teachers are not invested. We had several problems with the school bullies and were told that if we didn't like it to leave. What does this teach our kids. Needless to say, we have moved on are are now very happy.
My daughters have both been through Greenway with the youngest going into Conestoga next year. I chose and applied for open enrollment to keep my kids in this school. It is a diverse school yet offers a small community feel. This part of Beaverton does not have a lot of new construction growth so it maintains a solid school boundary area with consistancy. Volunteering and knowing the staff of any schools makes the difference.
My daughter started kindergarten last year at Greenway. The class size was a bit of concern at first but they have plenty of aides due to the class size. As such, my daughter is making excellent progress. We have weekly homework to work on the weekends and the 'Friday Envelope' contains the news and school letters. Parent involvement seems to be very high. The principal seems to be very engaged, teachers are well trained. Office staff are very courteous and helpful. The class is really diverse. Many kids are ESL students and this gives other kids to learn a bit of second lauguage such as Spanish. Overall I think this is a great school.
Recently moved from out of state and looked into the schools in the area this one seemed to have very good teacher/parent involvement levels and it has not disappointed me in the last 4 months. My daughter has 2 teachers for her class and they are both very involved in her education and truly seem to care about her.
My Autistic son has attended this school for three years now, and I love it. The special Ed team is fantastic, as is the staff and parent involvement is very high. I would recommend this school to anyone. Academics are good, I am pretty sure they have tested fairly high. There is a music program, and PE. There are also a lot of 'community building events' throughout the year, most are either free or really inexpensive.

Manchester school computer labs still missing volunteers
As of Tuesday, only one volunteer has committed to staff one of the "blended learning labs" that's opened at each of the city's three high schools, said Assistant Superintendent Michael Tursi.
The volunteers are key to Mayor Ted Gatsas' drive to modernize city schools by making online courses available to middle and high school students. Students can access the online courses through any computer hookup, but Gatsas has pushed to open a blended learning lab at each high school.
Three area companies - The Scrivanos Group, Quirk Auto Dealers and Dyn - have donated $35,000, which allowed the school district to equip the labs in the three high schools. Two weeks ago, Gatsas lauded the donors at a ceremony held at the West High School lab.
Gatsas said Monday that discussions are under way with a company - he would not name it - that is encouraging its workers to volunteer in the labs.
"I've had several phone calls from people interested in volunteering," Tursi said last week. "I'm optimistic. People need time to process the information, look at their schedules and see if it's feasible."
Tursi said he wants the labs open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every weekday. He'd like to have two or three volunteers for each high school. Ideally, the same group of volunteers would be on hand for consistency's sake, he said.
Volunteers are needed to monitor the students, to ensure safety, and to address any technical issues that may arise, Tursi said. Volunteers will not teach classes or have anything to do with the coursework. Nor would they be expected to quell any student conflicts, he said.
Every volunteer must attend a two-day training session put on by Virtual Learning Academy Charter School, which provides the online courses to the students. Tursi said he wants three volunteers signed up before the workshop is held.
School district policy requires any volunteer to undergo a criminal background check and pay a $25 fee to be fingerprinted. Gatsas said funds left over from the donations will pay for the fingerprinting.
Tursi said most of the people who contacted him about volunteering have technical skills.

The Rajah folders, designed by Andrew Demko, are big enough to approximate the feel and heft a fixed blade Kukri. Their broad, downward curved blades exhibit the best of a Kukris characteristics. First, their unique shape presents their thin, hollow ground edges at just the right angle so they naturally bite deep instead of bouncing or skidding off. And secondly their points are thick, wide and sharp enough to pierce even the toughest targets.
The handle has some of the contours of fixed blade Kukris with the addition of strategically placed curves and finger grooves. These features will facilitate 3 grip styles. One - very close to the cutting edge where you can really choke up on the handle for fine or delicate work. Two by the middle for ordinary chores. And three near the end or butt where you will have the most leverage and weight forward balance for heavy cutting or chopping and where you will receive maximum reach advantage.
The only suitable lock that can sustain the incredible impact forces generated by chopping strokes with a Rajah folder is our new TRI-AD lock. Designed specifically to take pressure off the smaller, more fragile interlocking surfaces of a rocker lock and transfer them to a uniquely positioned stop pin that will absorb and distribute these forces through the handle frame.
Carry the Rajah as you would any folder, using the clip to attach it to any reasonably sized pocket or clip it in your waistband. In an emergency all you have to do is grab it and open it in the conventional manner or snag its unique thumb plate on the edge of a pocket and snap it open.
The Rajah II is a more economical version of the Rajah I (at one third the price). It has a Grivory injection molded handle and steel liners for added strength.

The most popular crate motor ever produced, GM's ZZ4 350 is lazy by today's standards. Many hot rodders have bolted them into their rides but wish the combo had more get-up-and-go. Previously, we explored normally aspirated ways for pepping up GM's 350 ZZ4 crate motor ("ZZ4 Power Play," Feb. '09). For those with a little higher budget, this month we'll come up with some really kick-ass power, boosting power with a supercharger, a blower-friendly cam swap, and a water/methanol injection system. Working with HOT ROD associate Ed Taylor, the goal was to achieve big-block power levels with a small-block motor, retaining daily driveability while not overstressing the stock bottom end.
TFS/Magnuson BlowerThe centerpiece of this amp-up is Trick Flow Specialties' (TFS) custom carbureted blower kit, based on a modern Magnuson 122 supercharger. The Magnuson's high-helix rotor design makes it much more efficient than classic GMC-derived 71-series Roots blowers. At best, those old 71s are about 50 to 55 percent efficient; by contrast, the latest Magnuson design is around 65 percent efficient. Greater efficiency not only means less parasitic power losses and less heat buildup inside the case, but it also translates into higher boost at a lower rpm for a given drive ratio. In fact, Magnusons achieve full boost as low as 2,000 rpm. Combine the high-helix rotors with Magnuson's unique vacuum bypass valve, and it only takes about half a horsepower to run a Magnuson down the road; a GMC blower wastes at least 15 to 20 hp under the same conditions. TFS supplies the blower with a complete installation kit. Satin-finished kits cost $2,899 at Summit Racing. (Unless otherwise stated, all quoted parts prices are as of December 2008 from Summit Racing.) PN K26004 fits a short-nose V-beltdriven water pump, as used in these tests; use PN K26005 with long-nose pumps. Add the suffix "P" to the basic part number for extra-cost polishing.
Carburetor And IgnitionAll testing was conducted on Magnuson Products' SuperFlow dyno using 91-octane pump gas metered by a Holley 950-cfm supercharger carb. Unlike a normally aspirated engine, a forced-induction motor constantly sees vacuum under the carburetor (due to suction generated by rotor rotation within the blower case)-so on a standard Holley, the normal vacuum-referenced power valve never opens, causing a lean condition under heavy-throttle conditions. The special Holley supercharger carbs have reworked internal passages that reference the power valve to a vacuum source beneath the supercharger's rotors; under heavy accel-eration or wide-open-throttle conditions, the power valve sees boost and opens as it should because there's no vacuum holding it closed.
The GM HEI distributor used in the normally aspirated tests was replaced by an MSD electronic E-curve distributor and Blaster SS coil. After ignition, the spent mixture was exhausted by Magnuson's dyno headers with 1 3/4 1 7/8 stepped primaries into 3 1/2-inch collectors and 3-inch dual pipes into 3-inch Flowmaster Super 44 mufflers.
TFS Cylinder HeadsTrick Flow Specialties aluminum small-block Chevy heads are available with a choice of combustion chamber sizes, valvespring options, and machining for either classic perimeter or late-model center-bolt valve covers. Last month's normally aspirated tests ran TFS heads with 64cc chambers and a special thin Fel-Pro head gasket to bring compression in at 10.1:1. For these blower tests, TFS heads with 72cc combustion chambers (PN TFS-3040013-CNC, $1,399.95/pair) and thicker Fel-Pro PN 1043 head gaskets ($49.95 each) were used to drop compression to a blower-friendly 8.8:1.
Cam Selection CriteriaOn cams with the same duration but different lobe-separation angles (LSAs), the tighter-LSA cam has greater overlap. Normally aspirated, carbureted engines benefit from cams with relatively tight intake/exhaust LSAs, using their greater overlap to provide a necessary signal to the carburetor to better pull fuel through the motor. By contrast, supercharged engines push fuel through the motor under positive pressure, so a strong signal to the carburetor isn't as critical. In fact, minimizing a supercharged engine's cam overlap is beneficial to keep the blower's positive pressure from prematurely pushing the air/fuel mixture out the exhaust side. For these reasons, supercharged applications prefer wide-LSA cams-113 degrees or more.

After almost four years of blogging and DJing, I've decided to call time on the Sensible Dancehall project. Over the years the website has promoted some of the best shows and promoters in Oxford and beyond, crossed the world to review other local scenes, and brought you countless videos, mixes and tunes.
From this platform, we set up the monthly Lord 'av Mercy night at the Port Mahon before moving to The Library in 2011. This year the night transformed into Tun Up! bringing a stage for local reggae DJs in the city,alongside the larger tropical carnival night Pon de Floor at Oxford's leading club The Cellar. As well as promoting these nights, I've been lucky enough to play shows with some of the leading names in the genre, including Major Lazer, The Heatwave, David Rodigan, Mungo's Hi-Fi and Jus Now, as well as headlining the local House of Roots and Skylarkin Soundsystem nights, playing at Oxfordshire's legendary Truck Festival, Cowley Road Carnival, the infamous Sommerville-Jesus 'Last Ball', O2 Academy's Propaganda night as well as flying out to Greece to play a beach party. I was also asked to record a mix for Hipsters Don't Dance and had my Latin American mix cosigned by NYC-scene-leaders LargeUp. You can check out all my mixes here:
As well as the live shows and mixes, last year I dropped the first little SD production/refix, combining the massive vocal of Ninjaman's Ninja Mi Ninja and Baauer's original bass-heavy 8-bit EDM of Iced Up. With a thousand plays in the first two weeks, it received critical acclaim, receiving airplay from New York's dancehall dons Federation Sound and featuring on the Mad Decent website.
Whilst the Oxford website output will hault, this summer sees the incarnation of Sensible Dancehall: Sydney, where SD contributor phatmattbaker has set up a similar hub of local events alongside international features from his hometown in Australia. As for Oxford blogging and events: vibes done. Thank you for all your help and support; to everyone that's booked me to play, come out to party or simply enjoyed reading the website. Please support Matt's Australian project, and continue to ram venues across Oxford with positive vibes. Thank you!

In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.

Spanish missions in Louisiana
|Part of a series on the
|Spanish missions in the Americas
The Spanish missions in Louisiana are part a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Roman Catholics to spread their faith among the local Native Americans.
Mission Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de los Ais[edit]
- Established in 1716-1717 Site now in San Augustine, TX
- Closed in 1773
Mission San Miguel de Linares de los Adaes[edit]
Mission San Miguel de Linares de los Adaes was the fifth mission established in East Texas in 1716–1717. The mission was to serve the Adaes Indian village just 20 miles (32 km) west of the French fort at Natchitoches, Louisiana. At that time the Spanish claimed the Red River to be the eastern boundary of Texas, so the mission was considered part of Spanish Texas despite being in what is now considered Louisiana.
The mission was attached by French soldiers in 1719 and was closed. Three years later, the Marquis de San Miguel de Aguayo reopened the mission, but at a site closer to the Presidio of Los Adaes. The mission remained open until 1773.

"What now?"
That was the question on the minds of representatives from local telephone exchange carriers (LECs) who huddled at the United States Telephone Association (USTA) National Issues...
Roadblocks to Profit
Can the new buyers boost revenues or cut costs? The change in ownership might influence a number of cost factors, such as operation and maintenance, fuel, depreciation, taxes, accounting rules and financing. However, an acquisition price higher than book value might itself increase some costs.
O&M. It may be possible to decrease operation and maintenance expenses, but many utilities have already made such reductions to become more competitive. Skimping on maintenance costs implies accepting risk for availability and reliability, as demonstrated by the unfortunate experiences of some nuclear plant owners in attempting to minimize O&M costs.
I know of one small municipal electric utility in the Midwest, operating without interconnections. It suffered a summer storm that drained a reservoir used to supply the city's water and cool its generating station. Customers found themselves without water or electricity for about a week. An electric outage of only a few hours a year later prompted customers to demand that the electric operation be sold, which was done.
Another consideration when decreasing maintenance expenses is that mortgage bond indentures often require periodic certification that the underlying assets are being maintained at a level sufficient to generate the income needed to retire the debt.
FUEL. Potential savings in fuel costs lie in two areas: heat rate improvements and lower unit prices. However, heat rate improvements are no more available to a new owner than to the prior owner. And utilities are large fuel users, so a new owner may not be able to purchase fuel any cheaper. In fact, some plant sale contracts have committed the utility to continue to supply the fuel.
Of course, new owners purchasing high volumes of fuel may enjoy market power, but they will have to watch out for regulators. A buyer might benefit by playing spot and long-term markets against each other, but will it outperform the previous owner? The same might be said of any potential opportunities for fuel conversion. Why wasn't it done before?
TAXES. Since property taxes tend to run higher for utilities than for other businesses, they should fall under deregulation. Taxing authorities can be expected to oppose efforts to roll back property taxes, however, so a new owner might find little to gain.
Income taxes will follow income, but will be influenced by financing costs. Regulated firms are generally well regarded by investors, and so can borrow at low cost. However, investors tend to look down on entities with nuclear stations, and the magnitude of stranded costs being discussed suggests that investors may have under-estimated the amount of risk imposed by regulation. While a new owner might be interested in financing with a higher portion of debt, the financial market may view the level of risk as requiring less debt and early maturity.
DEPRECIATION. So far only two of the many plant sales have involved nuclear units. In fact, many nuclear plant owners have already taken steps to reduce their costs by accelerating the rate at which they record depreciation or amortize related regulatory assets of these efforts to accelerate cost recovery,

Andrew Bynum is apparently fully recovered from his season-ending knee injuries. Bynum has completed the rehabilitation process, and is set to return to basketball activities sometime next week. Normally, the 7-footer begins his offseason workouts in August at Atlanta, where his trainer is based out of. Instead, he will begin next week to get back into the swing of things.
David Lee, Bynum's agent, stated that there is "not a concern in the world" that the big man will be ready to go for training camp. He went on to indicate that the Sixers and Bynum have not scheduled any sort of meeting, and that he does not expect a deal to be complete before his client hits unrestricted free agency on July 1st.
It is to no surprise that the two have not met yet. New general manager Sam Hinkie has the draft to orchestrate on Thursday and is still in the process of hiring the franchise's next head coach. Aside from that, Hinkie didn't exactly show love and compassion for Bynum in his introductory press conference.
"I think of Andrew like the thousands of other young men walking around the world that are unrestricted free agents that have potential to play NBA basketball. He is one of those. I'm duty bound to consider them and look at them. All of them."
It becomes more and more apparent that Hinkie plans on letting Bynum walk for nothing in return in favor of beginning the rebuilding process.

Triple HPaul Michael Levesque
- Birthdate: 07/27/1969 (age 45)
- Height: 6'4"
- Weight: 255lb
Paul Michael Levesque was born on July 27, 1969...
On Becoming an Executive: "I've always had a fascination with business. I've been involved with the creative side practically since the day I started with the company in 1995. That's the part I love most, creating the stories, coming up with the spark of an idea and seeing our talent go out there and execute it. Being allowed to be creative in your work is a wonderful gift."
On Missing Being a Full Time Wrestler: "You'd have to be a professional athlete or entertainer to get that. I do miss the pain. Every year, I know I'll feel like a bus hit me the day after WrestleMania. And the second day I'll feel like the bus backed over me again. It's a badge of courage almost. To an athlete, it becomes a point of pride, how beat up you feel the next day. It means you left everything on the playing field."
On WrestleMania: "This WrestleMania will be the biggest single night in our industry's history, but we're just scratching the surface of where we're going. We're into movies, publishing, and creating our own television network later this year."

The Pocket Soldier project that The Monroe Evening News featured with an article in January continues to get attention and the small gifts are still available upon request.
Stephanie Kennedy of Newport launched the project after being inspired by a similar effort she saw at a military family conference a couple of years ago. Her husband, First Lt. Jeff Kennedy, has been deployed numerous times during his service with the Army National Guard.
The keepsake item is a small toy soldier, packaged with a card that reads "Let this pocket soldier be a reminder to you of the ongoing sacrifices made by the United States military service members of the past, present, and future. When you take this soldier from your pocket, please take a moment to say a prayer that God will keep watch over them and their loved ones."
More than 4,000 had been distributed by the time the news article was printed. But the publicity has resulted in additional requests for pocket soldiers, and the project is continuing.
"We will keep making them until every one who wants one has one," Mrs. Kennedy reported this week.
To place an order, or to make a donation, call the Carleton Post 4093, Veterans of Foreign Wars, hall, at 654-9216.

|A highly improbable moderate for such an imposing formation. The first two pitches are casual and enjoyable. The last pitch is a bit terrifying, though well protected; once you move out of the belay cave the exposure is rattling, but moderate moves are there if'n you can keep it together. Again, a classic of a route for its ability to find a 5.8 line up Heart Rock.

|This route will soon become a Maple classic. Two mellow approach pitches which are fun and serve as a nice warm up. The third and final pitch has incredible exposure, fun moves and is well bolted. Great line on an impressive feature. Do this route now!

|So exposed! My father pulled a huge rock on the third pitch and went for a ride! I don't love the scramble from summit proper to the rappel chains (though not enough to drop from 4 to 3 stars). Other than that I loved it! I used my extra quick.

|Definitely my favorite multi pitch in maple! The person that bolted this is a genius! Maybe I'm blind or something but I couldn't find the rap anchors so we rapped down the route across the gully

|Austin I believe those are the proper rap chains. If you are looking at the bolts for summit proper, the proper belay chains are directly behind you across the small gulley (which requires a scramble to get to). We also noticed some old rap chains to the right of summit proper, but decided to not use them (seeing as how we only had a 60m rope). Amazing climb, and exposed as hell!

|We enjoyed it a ton. The name is very fitting for the third pitch. On the rap off we almost got our rope stuck so be careful on the rap. Be sure to do the last short pitch and sign the book in the ammo case. It explains where to rap from.

From: Orem Ut

|We sent it with a team of 3 so we had 2 60 M ropes, with the 2 of them tied together it was long enough to rap off the true summit. We came straight over the point at the most overhung and did not touch the rock again until the top of pitch one. I recommend it but, YOU MUST HAVE AT LEAST 100 M OF ROPE. PS be careful this rap has not been cleaned and it easy to knock rocks down on the people below you.
By Lindsey Robinson

|The 3rd pitch and view from the top make this route great. And we had it all to ourselves! I'd say the crux is starting the 3rd pitch. When you get to the last anchors, there is a bolt a little ways above you that leads to the rap station. You can also see a bolt a bit to your right, where you can scramble over to the summit/ammo can. We rapped from the recommended rap chains, which took us to the top of the second pitch. Didn't see any other rap rings, so we rapped from there into the gully (and into some trees, geh).
By Emerson Takahashi

Last pitch is easily one of the best in all of Maple Canyon.
Walked right past the start of the climb and didn't even notice.
You walk straight into it if you're coming up the trail on the right.
Had a 60m rope, used the recommended rap station and was able to reach the bottom of P3. Killer rappel, definitely not one to skip out on!!! From there, we rappelled left, down into the gully and scrambled around to the base.

Video: Tesla Model S On The Dyno
Before we get into the dyno numbers, let's talk about Tesla's power claims. From the factory, the Tesla Model S makes 416 horsepower and 443 ft-lbs of torque, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds. These are impressive numbers, but how much of that power actually makes it to the ground?
A lot, as it turns out. On the dyno, the Tesla Model S put down a substantial 386 wheel-horsepower, meaning that there is less than a 10% drivetrain loss between the motor and the ground. A traditional ICE engine sees between 15% and 20% power loss between the engine and the wheels.
It is also remarkable just how quiet the Tesla Model S is; most dyno videos feature a deafening roar which, while not entirely unpleasant, can be a bit of an annoyance. Really, really makes us want to get one of those Tesla powertrains for a project car…

If the weather holds, Randy Wolf will lead the troops back into action in Game 1 of the Phillies double-dip with the Braves.
The prospect of yet another rainout would add even more adversity to a team already up to their eyeballs in it.
This isn't a good situation. This is the third scheduled doubleheader between these teams in the last 11 days. Just when they need their best arms lined up in a nice, neat row to finish off their September sprint, more precipitation could force plan B. In addition, double-headers have been difficult for the Phils to sweep, and they simply can't afford to lose many more.
The Phillies are two games behind San Diego in the Wild Card race. Meanwhile, a new threat has emerged. San Francisco has caught fire and leapfrogged the Phillies with their 10-6 win over Colorado.
All eyes are on Randy Wolf (3-0, 4.97 ERA), pitching his ninth game since returning from Tommy John surgery. Wolf gave up two runs in six innings in a loss to Houston last Wednesday. The left-hander is fast approaching a career crossroad, as his contract expires after the season.
For Atlanta, Kyle Davies (2-5, 7.56 ERA) pitches for a Braves team that has all but fallen out of the race. The 23-year-old right-hander is considered a bright part of the Braves future, but has taken a thrashing this season, including a 2 1-3, seven-run pounding from the Phils last week.
In other news ... former Phillies outfielder Bobby Abreu had a career night in New York, tying an AL record for most RBIs in an inning with six in the Yankees 12-4 victory over the Devil Rays. Abreu hit a three-run homer and a three-run double in a nine-run first and finished with a career-high seven RBIs.
Since coming over to the Bombers, Abreu has been an instant hit, as many expected. Already being called one of the best deals in modern Yankees history, Abreu is hitting .344/.436/.503 and is a perfect fit in their loaded lineup. With yesterday's return of Hideki Matsui, the Yankees appear ready to roll into October as the favorite to win the World Series.
