Two Stone Brothers
by Rena Stone Phillips
You have all read the story of many others, of how they lived and died; but here is the life of two brothers, and the tragedy of the older.
To compare them together, they were as two little flowers. They grew up together, both side by side. They started to school together, and were pals all along the way. Through their school days and work they were side by side until they had finished so well, the old Junior High. Then there came a change in their lives, Raymond clung to the study of books and of school while Edsel to that of hard work and outdoor life. Raymond learned easy in school, but Edsel loved music. Edsel was determined to learn music, and well he had learned. Like a bird he would sing and play on his old guitar. Still young Raymond would read his school books, the papers and magazines of the world. He liked to read stories and news of old days.
The two in size were as little twins. For sport they would box and wrestle together. Raymond was forever with his turkeys and chickens while Edsel was with his horses and dog. As they grew up more, they purchased a horse and some cows. The two were always partners in all their business affairs.
As time passed by and the two grew older, although they were still just youngsters, they, like all other boys, had a desire for a car. With the determination in their minds, they set out to accomplish their desire. Happy as birds the two were when their task they had won. But oh, how sad was the tragedy of the two brothers - like a flower chopped from the side of another, dear Edsel's life was snatched from the side of his brother. The two were side by side in their car without any warning or fear, but true as the stars up above, dear Edsel was taken from us all.
Like that of Jimmie Rodgers, Edsel leaves his old guitar, his harp, and his dog. They, too, will mourn for his coming, just like his friends. He has gone on before and left this old world, but we will all remember his smile and jolly, good ways. He was kind to all things when others were not.
Young Raymond is left without Edsel to help. He will find all tasks much harder than before. Dear Edsel's life is ended on earth. No one knows what he would have accomplished if only his life could have been spared.
Now, Raymond, we hope when your life is over, that it is not such a tragedy as that of your brother. And there is the little band of music that Edsel played with; it will never be complete for no other can take the place of our Edsel. His words of advice to his Daddy the day he was killed we shall never forget. So teasing was he to his Mother and the family, that seldom did he come in without a big joke. And so grateful and good was he to his grandmother, that never can we forget that smile that he wore. The baby, too, that Edsel loved so well keeps watching for him, but no more he comes. So well it would be, if Edsel only knew, like the God up in heaven of the old broken hearts.
the story of Edsel Luther Stone
Born 1917 - Died 1935
- Edsel was killed in a car wreck in 1935. Raymond was with him. He turned over a 1928 Ford Cabrolet sports model, hard top coupe. He had traded a cow for the car. They were going to a carnival west of Walters, and thought that they could not be out-run. J.C. Cunningham's sisters and their boy friends were behind them. Edsel decided not to let them pass. They were going to pass anyway. They started around, met another car, so they cut in front of Edsel. The back of their car hit Edsel's car and knocked it out of control. Edsel hit the back of the oncoming car and turned his car upside down in a bar-ditch.
There were just fifteen months' difference in the ages of Edsel and Raymond. They were always very close and did everything together. They were the best of friends as well as brothers.

I agree, You can't expect people to not be afraid of 3 large dogs barking and lunging. I had an experience not too long ago, we were parked in a parking lot to go into a restaurant and I noticed before I got out that there were dogs in the car next to us.
As soon as I got out of the car the dogs started going berserk. The windows were rolled down a good deal and as soon as I excited one of the dogs lunged and grabbed a piece of my hair. I was able to get a hold of my hair before the dog pulled me in but it kind of freaked me out for a minute. I wasn't all that close to the car and have never approached a car with a dog inside of it, especially one that was barking.
I was in disbelief that anyone would have the windows rolled down that far if you know your dog is going to be protective of the car. I wish I would have spoken to the owners, I would have given them a piece of my mind!
My dogs will protect their car, but you would never know they were in it until you tried to get in it.
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Can't Get Near Car
A couple in the grocery store left the back of their Jeep up with three large dogs loose inside while they were shopping. When I was checking out a lady who was parked beside the came inside pretty upset because these dogs kept lunging at whoever walked by the car. The owners were called on the loud speaker and instead of just closing the back of the Jeep, they insisted that you could 'just walk by' and nothing happen. I'm not afraid of dogs,but I don't blame this woman for not walking by the dogs ,especially since they weren't just barking.They were snarling and going crazy at everyone. The police did get called by the store manager who made the couple go ahead and leave the store. This whole thing could have been prevented if the dog owners' were a little more considerate. They didn't think it was a big deal because 'the dogs knew not to get out of the car,and were just protecting it'.

thank you
That info will help me a lot, I think I will just have my valves enlarged to 2.19/1.88 and port them some more. The dart intake I saw looks like the best one (especially for $100) for my budget. It does have rectangular ports but I'm told by several people here that doesn't matter.
I think the 240cc runner if the dart heads you are looking at would be too big. I am getting ready to build a pump gas 572 and AFR only recommended a 335cc runner head for that motor being taken to 6500-7000 RPM. My dad and I are also in the process of building a pump gas 496 being rapped to 6500 RPM. I spoke with comp cams and some motor builders around here, and they said that I was on the fence as far as if I should go with ovals or rectangular. Pretty much the ovals will have more torque and the rectangulars will have more hp. We decided to go with a set of 781 ovals that we had polished and ported and fitted with 2.19 1.88 valves. We got a custom grind comp cams mech roller with duration in the 265@.050 range and .650 lift. They said that that motor with that cam should make power to 6500 RPM. Another thing you might want to think about. If you decide to go with a set of Rectangular heads, I would look at the AFR 315cc head. They are $3000 for an assembeled, 100 % CNC ported set, but I talked to AFR, and they said that they built a 496 with that head that made 750 hp at 6500 RPM on 10:1 compression and pump gas. The AFRs are $1000 more than the heads you are looking at, but for a CNC ported dart BBC head, It costs $4000, so in that light it isnt so bad.
Good luck
First the Oval port head does not have enough runner volume to support 496 CID at 6500 rpm. To do so you are going to need a square port in the 320 CC range. With the heads you have and that CID your looking at about 5200. I would suggest going with an air gap intake.
Larger valves will help but then due to the runner volume you are limited. I would put a set of 2.19 and 1.88 in the head. This will help move air in the mid lift numbers.
Dart intake? Brodix or Dart Heads?
I'm building a 496 and have these heads-6272292, oval port, 2.06/1.72, I'm trying to keep it mid to low budget- can I get new valves and have the heads milled larger? I have a friend in a machine shop that will do it cheap. What size valves do I want for a moderate cam-say like 250 to 270? Is that considered moderate? Should I go larger? It is still a 496.... but will be almost entirely street. I got this car for 100 bucks and block and heads for 300 so now the expensive stuff comes, I know.
Does anyone know about these Dart heads for my 496? I want to run pump gas, and drive in the street 99% of the time. But I want gobs of mid to high end torque to like 6500RPM. I don't think low end will be a problem with a 496.
Chevrolet: 396-454, 119cc combustion chamber, 345cc intake runner, 2.30 in./1.88 in. diameter intake/exhaust valves, 1.625 in. diameter double valve springs, angled spark plugs, assembled, 23 degree, aluminum, Pro 1 head
Or these Brodix, they seem like a good deal;
This Dart intake is actually made for my tall deck and I can get one used cheap; it has rectangular ports and is named BBC.
but this is good and cheap, I just need the spacers; Edelbrocks;
Chevrolet: 396-502, oval port, idle to 5,200 rpm, Street Dominator intake manifold
This intake manifold fits carb flanges 4150/4160. It features low to mid-range powerband, horsepower peaks at 5,200 rpm, oval port heads, and no EGR provision.
This Performer intake manifold for Big Block Chevy is a dual-plane, low-rise intake with a 180 degree firing order and patented runner design that you won't find in competitor brands. This design provides torque over a wide rpm range, especially off-idle through mid-range. It also provides improved throttle response over a stock manifold. It's 50 state legal when installed on 396, 402, 427, and 454 with an OEM carburetor.; 1965-72(1973 non CA) passenger cars and 1966-83 trucks; except stock equipped EGR.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and the cam would be matched to these parts of course.

It is about how you do it, not what you do anyway. This Tango as a LP is very unconventional and challenging. It is also about relativity... it is certainly more interesting than compare to something like another Warhorse piece for Sochi, e.g Scheherazade ;P

Stretching from the Chicago River north to Oak Street, this tony stretch of Michigan Avenue lined with shops, hotels, and several landmark buildings is called the Magnificent Mile, whether for its energy, architecture, or the expense of goods sold here is open to debate.
Begin your walk at the (1) Michigan Avenue Bridge (Michigan at Wacker Drive)
over the (2) Chicago River, the flow of which was famously reversed in 1900 to keep sewage from flowing into Lake Michigan, the source of the city's drinking water. On the north bank, two important buildings square off across the street from one another, the gleaming white, terra cotta tiled (3) Wrigley Building (400-410 N. Michigan Avenue; www.thewrigleybuilding.com) of the 1920s to the west, and the Gothic looking (4) Tribune Tower (435 N. Michigan Avenue) to the east. With flying buttresses at the top of the building that mimic the Rouen Cathedral of France, the Trib Tower only looks ancient; it was the winning design in a 1922 competition. Take a closer look at the façade, which is embedded with 120 stones from famed sites around the world-China's Great Wall, for example-and each of the 50 states, such as Massachusetts' Bunker Hill.
Across from the Trib Tower look for a staircase that leads to Lower Michigan Avenue and the famed (5) Billy Goat Tavern (430 N. Michigan Avenue; www.billygoattavern.com), a subterranean hole-in-the-wall long patronized by local journalists and made famous in the 1970s by actor John Belushi's classic "Cheezborger, Cheezborger" skit on "Saturday Night Live." No Pepsi, Coke!
Return topside and continue your stroll north until you are opposite the (6) InterContinental Chicago hotel (505 N. Michigan Avenue), originally built as the Medinah Athletic Club in 1929. It's worth a peek inside to see the greeting "Es Salumu Aleikum" or "Peace be to God" etched into the marble entryway and the ornate interiors including a terra cotta fountain at the top of the marble stairway.
Back outdoors, northbound, this section of the Mag Mile is home to luxury designer shops like Polo/Ralph Lauren, luxe department stores such as Neiman Marcus, and vertical malls. At Chicago Avenue you'll find the area's lone public building survivors of the Great Fire of 1871 in the (7) Water Tower (Michigan and Chicago Avenues) and its 1869 sibling across the street, the Pumping Station, both in Gothic Revival style. A pleasant pocket park surrounds the Water Tower, a symbol of the city's determination, though critics have long questioned its architectural value including writer Oscar Wilde who called it, "a castellated monstrosity with pepperboxes stuck all over it."
Continue north to the (8) John Hancock Center (875 N. Michigan Avenue), a tapering 1970, 100-story skyscraper by architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. An observatory (www.hancock-observatory.com) on the 94th floor offers panoramic views. More relaxing, (9) The Signature Lounge (875 N. Michigan Avenue; www.signatureroom.com) on the 96th floor offers the same perch for the price of a cocktail. Finish your walk at (10) Oak Street Beach (Oak Street and Lake Michigan) via an underground passageway that marks the end of the avenue at the Lake Michigan shore.

Dont be overly confident in the GM crate engines. I have seen several with issues right out of the box, from simple to major. The 330HP engine is the one I have seen the most issues with.
Personally I would rebuild the one you have, put a decent set of heads and a decent cam and it should wake right up.
I own one of the 330HP engines and there were assembly issues and it really drinks the gas in a 1600lb car.
PAW, Midwest Motorsports INC, Competition Products, and a few others are suppliers as well. CP's webiste isn't as nice as Summit's but their phone lines are WAY better and their prices are lower- Summit has a better selection though. Plus Summit doesn't carry much Elgin stuff- Elgin is pretty decent stuff at really low prices. Even the Pro's use some Elgin stuff.
For about half of my poarts I go to craigslist.com.
|I buy 99.99999 percent of my parts from www.summitracing.com there is no better organized site at a better price, and their shipping is flat rate. There is a fair description and picture of almost everything they sell
A good way to start is to find a 4bolt Vortec engine that needs rebuilding. Figure the core will cost you $500 or less, a rebuild kit is around another $500, machine work will be around $700, add in a cam, carb, intake and headers for another $700- you're sitting around $2500 for a roller cam, 4 bolt 350 with Vortec heads- all the basics you could need for an easy streetable 400hp/400tq.
The last Vortec core I got was less than a year ago and it cost me $400, already fully machined with a SCAT crank and ARP fasteners. I've seen running ones go for $250 around here.
I agree with CRD that the '78 will never be worth what a comparable 58, or 65 will be. But it sure seems to me that the early C3 Vettes have recently (say, 4-7 years) seen a growth in value. These would be the '68 to , like, '72 cars. This will extend to the other C3s as well, I believe over time. Besides, if you're building virtually from scratch, a running 350 can be had for $100-$500. Naturally, that all really depends on how well you are connected, and how lucky you get. For that little money, having the running numbers-matching motor as an on-hand backup is not a bad proposition, assuming you have the space for it. Anyway, as previously noted, the cost trades can be managed to keep them small, so it isn't really about the money. It's about what you want to do.
|cool rockin daddy
|I have to add something here. Aside from sentimental value to you and your family, the '78 Vette is NOT going to be worth much. They are not sought after by many. Lots are available (47,000 made in 1978). Can pick them up for around $8k. If you want to honor you dad or something, fine. But I would use the block, put some good modern heads on it, change the cam and carb, and put some headers on it. Save the original heads if you want to put it back to stock form for dad. Wouldn't worry about messing up it's originality, it just ain't worth much.
The cost thing can be argued forever. I have a simple street motor (well, perhaps not totally simple, but certainly very much a street motor) and have about 1400 in the machining alone. Balance the crank and reciprocating stuff, bore and torque plate hone, clearance for the stroker crank, preassemble to verify deck height, machine the decks, align hone, clean and MT and so on. Some for parts (like temporary use bearings for the pre-assembly) and lots for machining. Again, maybe I paid too much. But I did the build myself because I am now in my 60's, and building a strong street engine at some point was a life-long dream. Something from my bucket list. That is the very best reason I can think of to do your own street motor. Race motors, you need to do yourself, or through a shop you contract with. No question. But while Houston54 is looking at $2550, I've spent over double that. Not that I have anything so very special. The point is you can do it yourself to control the cost if that is the goal. Or, you can do it yourself to control the build, if that is the goal. But for a decent street motor, if you are willing to compromise at the detail level, it's difficult to beat the offerings from GM. There are a number of other street motor sources that I think have pretty good reputations. Smeding Performance and Beck's racing engines I think are two pretty good mass-builders. I'm sure there are others too, and a google search will help ferret them out. If you really want to do the motor yourself, by all means do it yourself. If you are looking for a simple solution, don't complicate your life by turning your back on the crate motors that are out there.
Since you're only looking for 300 horse here's a couple suggestions:
1) This is the low cost choice at 2000 dollars for 290 hp. This is a decent engine but suffers from too much cam and not enough compression, so it's kind of lazy on the bottom and and is a bit of a gas drinker, replacing the heads or the pistons to get the compression up around 9.2 makes a world of difference but adds cost. Top notch cam though.
2) There's three options here for how many of the tin parts come on the engine, at 330 horse, this engine uses less cam and better Vortec heads. It pulls stronger everywhere and gets better miles out of each gallon. Shows to go ya the importance of higher compression and modern heads. Costs $2700, $3900, to $4700 depending on how ready it is go. For $4700 all you gotta do is wire up the starter and hook up the gas line and go; the others take you to add some external parts to get going.
In the upper end of number 2's money range you can score a 383, while only listed at 340 horse the additional 100 pound feet of torque over the 330 horse/380 pound foot torque of the 350 will make a whale of a tire smoking difference way ahead of what you'd expect from a 10 horse difference. There ain't nothin' like leaving some Beemer squid sitting at the stop light choking in your cloud of burnt butyl.
If the motor is fine then leave it alone.
The question of a rebuild or crate needs answering if the original motor was junked or previously replaced.
I am currently doing a rebuild and have the following costs for my effort:
Block work (.030 bore/cam bearings/ crank grind/freezeplugs, etc) $330.00
New pistons installed on rods $225.00
Ring set $38
Rod bearings $24
Main bearings $28
Oil pan gasket (one piece) $22
Gasket set (Fel-pro full set) $46
Water pump (Edelbrock rebuild cost) $65
Camshaft Kit $150
Rocker Arms (roller tip) $100
Push Rods $40
Timing Set $40
Oil pump & pickup $24
Sub-total $1,132 (Excludes assy lube/misc hardware)
Heads - Full Rebuild including guides Add $350
Heads - Vortec Add $620
Heads - Aluminum Add $1,400+
For comparisons here are some of the lower end (HP level) SBC crate motor prices:
Basic 290HP SBC crate motor cost (Long block) $1,950 + freight
Basic 330HP crate motor $2,800 + freight
The crates have the added benefit of a warranty but you do not have the satisfaction of building your own and knowing exactly what is in it.
Okay... for anyone following this thread. I have gotten a lot of pretty sound advice. Let me summarize... 1) don't throw away the numbers matching motor 2) get a second "fun" motor and put the origianl into safe storage 3) go with a crate motor... and look closely at the GM OEM high performance motors (if for no other reason, to have some confidence in what I'm getting 4) consider as an alternate having a motor built by a local shop to allow for a bit more flexibility in getting exactly the components that I want 5) and lastly, do some of the planning and work yourself to bond with the car.
Okay... so here is the follow-on question. Sounds like I need a company that acts like a local speed shop (in that you can have a menu of selectable components), is conventient like a crate motor (it comes shipped directly to me, assempled and with a dyno report to prove it is as promised), uses all certified OEM major components (no foreign junk), and has an OEM level warranty. Anyone know of such a place?
|The motor runs fine... it has sat around most of it's life. It has 65K on it. It does not smoke significantly. It wasn't the HO engine, and only started with 185 horsepower to begin with. I don't really need 600 horsepower... but 300 would be pretty nice.
I guess I am in the minority here. I agree with the few other folks who think you should do both. Keep the numbers matching motor, and buy or build a separate fun motor for now. My wife owns a C3 Vette, and though I'm not a huge Vette fan, I know many who are. The whole numbers matching thing seems foolish to me, but to people who think it matters, it REALLY matters. If you ever sell that car, assuming it's value rises in the next few years (and I'd bet it will, just sitting in the garage), the possession of the numbers matching engine might nearly double the value of the car, assuming other major components have matching numbers. Corvette restoration folks are really into this stuff. All that said, this was a period of awful performance for stock Vettes, and just about everything else as well. So, building up a separate motor, or getting a good crate motor, seems to me like a pretty good idea. The friends I have with street rods are all using GM crate motors of one kind or other. All small blocks, there are a couple of ZZ4s, a 330HP dressed-out and finished 350, as well as a 350 RamJet. Another friend is using a 454 Big Block Crate with an 8-71 blower. All of these owners are totally pleased with themselves for having made this simple, and warrentied decision. Instead of choosing one path, and possibly destroying the option for the second, I agree you should update the car, but keep the number-matching restoration option open for the future.
If all you are looking to do is get more power then the first question is what kind of condition is the current engine in? How many miles on it? Simply putting another motor in wont nessecarily net any gains unless you get to specifics.
I had an old '71 blazer with open chamber heads, it was a dog of the first order, bolted up a set of 2.02 fuelies and woke it up like you wouldnt believe.
Your average 350 is not a bad place to start from, sometimes they just need a little TLC in the right places.
|I would stick the original motor in storage and pick-up a crate motor> there is a big difference between the performance crate motor and the replacement motors that GM sells. But there are many other companies that are selling "crate motors" now, take some time and do some shopping.
If you are worried about losing value, you should either buy a complete motor to rebuild, or get a crate engine from a reputable builder. Take your original, numbers matching engine(carb, distribtor, water pump, everything thats original) , bag it all up(air tight), and stick it in the corner somewhere. Should the time come that you want to, or need to, sell your car, you have all the original stuff available.
There is always the risk of a motor breaking for simple reasons, and its a shame to lose a numbers matching set up because a valve or something broke.

I asked this in the general revolver area a while back, but got only two answers.
What do you use for cleaning out leading from "shorter rounds".
As in .38 Spl in .357 Mag, .44 Spl in .44 Mag, etc.
I just bought a used Alaskan in .454 Casull. With Trijicon night sights and Magna Porting.
No, I didn't need it. I just wanted it. I don't expect mountain lions or Grizzlies in my bedroom anytime soon. :mrgreen:
I have a 1866 Yellowboy clone and a 1873 single-action clone in .45 Long Colt. And, a LOT of LC ammo.
So, I plan sending a bunch of my "excess .45 LC ammo" through it.
I've read "scare stories" about ruining the cylinder if not properly cleaned.
True ? Recommendations ?

I have read so many treads about the colour of the overalls, that I am completely confused.
I notice a few of the "Fetts" in the US use overalls in the colour of "postman blue". Here in Oz I have found a overall in a light blue called "sky blue". It looks pretty darn close to a lot of the pictures I'm seeing on the forum.
My question is, Do I need to add a bit of dye to it and get a light purple colour going, or is the light blue fine ?
I'm getting confused when I see one Jango with blue flight suit and another Jango with a light purple suit.
Is there a right and wrong or are both colours right?
And the same question goes with the vest, dark grey or black? This is another item that is throwing me.
So what is the go, Jango with light blue suit and black vest or Jango with light purple vest and dark grey vest ?
Hopefully someone can help to stop my head spinning.lol.

This is my third prostate formula this year. All helped relieve what my dr called 'sitting on a golfball. First from Canada at retail store -expensive, second from iherb -a good product, 3 pills were inconvenient in my pill case, had half as much saw palmetto but more of other herbals, may go back to it, this product-good so far, more saw palmetto but less of other herbals. I am confused on the other herbals included in very small amounts in these formulations.

Arsenal Football Club announced on Friday morning that manager Arsène Wenger had signed a three-year extension to his contract.
In October 2006, Arsenal supporters were given the chance to direct their questions to the Frenchman when he took part in an Arsenal TV Online webchat to mark the 10th anniversary of his appointment as manager.
Below is a transcript of the best questions put to the two-time Double-winning boss.
Can you see yourself staying 10 more years? (from Rachel Gilbert, Isle of Man; Francois Deguise, Switzerland; Anton Galperin, Israel; Kenny Hurley, Ireland)
Well that would look a bit pretentious but I will try as hard as I can and try to be honest enough to see the day when I am not good enough anymore. You have to give everything and to feel as if it will be for your life, but also that it can stop any day. That is what I want to continue to do.
What do you do to unwind and take your mind off football?
I rarely do that because it's almost impossible, football is always on my mind. You think about the next game, the next team you will play, the next training session, how the players are. It's very difficult to switch off but then a big part of the job is to handle that stress.
What is the pinnacle of your time at Arsenal? (Tad Swaryczewski, Borehamwood; Harold van Maaren, Philippines)
It is difficult to say but maybe my best performance was to play through the whole season unbeaten. It became pure happiness just to watch the team. There is not much room to do better. But you always want to be even closer to your best again. When the desire to win is inside you, it never stops. You just want to win again. You have done something great and you want to do it again and repeat it. That is motivation for your whole life - to always do better.
How has your experience in Japan affected the way you manage Arsenal?
Because you are isolated and far from all your connections it makes you stronger. It's a strong experience to be isolated and having to motivate everyone around you, and somewhere I felt it gave me the strength of character to resist the pressure and deal with the frustrations you can get in this job.
How do you know when it's the right time to let a good player go? (Claes Andersson, Sweden)
There are a few reasons. Sometimes you see that a player needs a change because does not get enough games, sometimes you feel he wants another challenge and sometimes there is someone behind him [in the squad] who cannot come out into the first team because he is in front of him. It is part of my job to make these kinds of decisions.
Who could be the future captain of Arsenal and why? (Nicole Beale, South Africa)
Well we have a young captain now, Henry is only 29. At the moment we have three experienced leaders - Henry, Gilberto, Lehmann. In the generation behind we have Gallas, who is a leader type, and Kolo can be too. After that you have Fabregas, certainly in a few years. Senderos as well, you forget a few because you have so many. A big team is made of many leaders and a good captain is somebody who is respected by his partners, someone who can lead the way, sets an example and wants to win every game. A captain is judged on what he delivers for the team, not just his own performance.
Can you describe a typical matchday?
Usually, I get up at 6.30am and go for a run, after that I come back and have breakfast and then prepare the team meeting. At 10.30 we meet with the players, have a walk, a stretch, and then a meeting where we sometimes watch what was good or bad in the last game. At 11 we have lunch, then most of the time we go back to our [hotel] rooms again. At 12.45 we go to the stadium... Afterwards I watch all kinds of matches, through the night until three or four o'clock I watch European football. I go to bed when I am dead tired, for managers it takes time to recover from a game and sometimes you don't sleep at all.
How have you set up such an effective scouting system? (Josh Ringer, Norwich)
By having scouts in every country which has good potential to develop football players of top quality and by being in touch with them always, having a lot of assessments and working very hard. Our scouts are highly motivated, there are a lot of people inside the clubs who don't get the praise but our scouting team is absolutely fantastic. We choose quality people all over Europe and all over the world. I wanted that system and put it together as soon as I arrived, with [Chief Scout] Steve Rowley because I felt that the continuity inside the club depends on the level you have with your young players.
Name one player who you would love to have signed but didn't. (Chris from New York, Vinay Solanki from New York)
Well there was [Claude] Makelele who was close to signing, [Samuel] Eto'o too, they are two who would have done well here. I have missed a few, I was offered [Petr] Cech, another player who could have done well. Makele was [available] straight after Vieira arrived when he was still in Nantes. Eto'o was when he joined Barcelona, it was between us and Barcelona.
You are portrayed as a football fanatic, but do you have outside interests away from football? (Jean from South Africa)
Yes, I am interested in all kinds of politics, international politics, but most of the time I spend my time in the game.
Would you be prepared to win the title by playing 'ugly' football?
I personally believe you cannot be in a big club and have an ambition to play 'ugly' football. Football has changed but people who watch football have changed as well. They have different standards from 20 years ago because they have a choice of two or three games on some occasions. We have a responsibility as a big club to play with style and have a certain ambition in the way we play.
Is there any player you wish you had not sold?
Well, I felt that for us to lose Vieira and Edu in the same year [2005] was one player too many. That was not really planned. They were two fantastic players and losing them at the same time when Cesc was still very young and I could not give him a breather, maybe that was one too many.
Who is the best pure finisher you've ever had at Arsenal?
I think Anelka was a quick finisher with a short backlift but I think the purest finisher was Ian Wright. He was obssessed with finishing. For example, Anelka would never have pushed a partner away but I think Wright was ready to kick someone in his own team to get into a position to score! Wright was an unbelievably clinical finisher with both feet and his head, he had that burning desire to score.
If you could pick any player from the last 30 years to play in one of your teams, who would it be? (Robert Wheeler, Braintree)
I would say Pele, he would fit perfectly in our team. I would play him up front - we could maybe play with a three! It would be interesting to see if he was as good as everyone says he was. Would he adapt to the modern game? There are all sorts of questions, but he looked to be an athlete before football became as athletic as it is today.
Who is the biggest 'find' of your Arsenal career?
Maybe my biggest find was Anelka. When Henry came here he was already in the World Cup squad but Anelka gave me the credibility to do some more got me the trust from people because he was a big success. Vieira as well, he was the first player who nobody knew but he made a huge impact in the Club. He stayed for nine years and nobody could imagine the Club could continue without him. He had a big impact.
If you could reverse one decision, what would it be? (Suzy, Brighton)
I have made many wrong decisions and I will give you one example. When Robert Pires got injured in 2002 on the left flank he was the best player in the world. That week I had decided not to play Pires against Newcastle but the closer we got to the game the more I thought I would play him because if we won that game we would nearly be there [in the FA Cup]. I changed my mind 24 hours before the game and then he got injured. I went home and thought I was stupid because I should have done what I had planned... He missed the World Cup and I feel afterwards it was a bad decision. It is not fate because I was convinced it was time for him to be rested because he had shown signs of fatigue, so your coordination drops and then you get injured. Deep down I knew I was right not to play him but I was weak when it came to pushing the decision through.
If you could reverse one refereeing decision, what would it be? (Suzy, Brighton)
I feel the penalty awarded by [Mike] Riley at Manchester United in our 50th game [after 49 unbeaten] was a completely invented penalty. That is a decision which I regret. [Wayne] Rooney dived on that occasion. It was on a day when we did not deserve to lose.
Do you keep in touch with your ex-players?
Yes, whenever I can. I was interviewed by Patrick Vieira, Emmanuel Petit and Remi Garde yesterday in France. I was on the phone to Robert Pires today. I was asked some difficult questions yesterday, Patrick asked me about our nine years together!
Which manager do you get along with best in the Premiership?
Well basically I have very little relationship with other managers. I respect everybody but we don't see each other - never. So there is no real relationship with other people. [With Sir Alex Ferguson] there is less aggression than there was before because we have both calmed down, and our relationship has become in a much more normal way now. I hope we can keep it at that level.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Like many Kentuckians reviewing their family finances for a potential big purchase this year, state lawmakers are considering how much debt they're willing to incur to move the state forward.
In his budget address last week, Gov. Steve Beshear proposed $1.96 billion in new debt to help fund a number of construction projects. That would put the state's debt ratio (the amount of money borrowed as a percentage of the General Fund) at just over 7 percent, slightly above where it stands now and a point higher than the 6 percent debt capacity level favored by some legislators.
During yesterday's Kentucky Tonight discussion about the budget, the panel debated spending priorities for the state and the best ways to pay for those items. The guests were Sen. Bob Leeper (I-Paducah), chair of the Senate Appropriations and Revenue Committee; Rep. Rick Rand (D-Bedford), chair of the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee; House Minority Whip John Carney (R-Campbellsville); and Sen. Ray Jones (D-Pikeville).
The group raised other concerns about the governor's budget plan, including paying for the wage increase for teachers and other school personnel like bus drivers and cafeteria workers. Carney, who's a teacher in Taylor County, applauds the idea but says the raise itself may consume most if not all of the SEEK funding increase proposed for primary and secondary schools. "Some districts would have enough money to cover both that teacher raise and a classified [employee] raise," explained Carney. "But most districts I've spoken to, that would only be enough money to basically do the mandated teacher raise and the local districts then would be subject to have to do the mandated classified raise. So it could be it could be a net loss in some ways, in terms of monies."
On the revenue side of the budget equation, the panel agreed that tax reform is needed, especially if it can be done in a way to make Kentucky's business climate competitive with neighboring states. But the group disagreed on expanded gambling as a source of additional revenue: Rand favors the idea, while Carney, Jones, and Leeper oppose it.
Several of the seven House subcommittees that handle budget matters have started collecting testimonies and data that will be folded into the lower chamber's budget plan. Rep. Rand said he hopes to have that document ready to send to the Senate the first week of March. He challenged his colleagues to be bold in building the new budget. "It's time to think where do we want to be 10 years from now, 20 years from now, 50 years from now," Rand said. "If we set our expectations too low, we're going to get the same thing that we've always got."

I'm down to my last piece, the Jango Fett Holsters, which I'm going to try to make myself.
I have a question on the holster straps, what are the widths of the straps. The ones that attach from the holster to the main belt look a bit wider than the straps that go around the leg. Does anyone have measurements? Or could any Jango's out there pull out their holsters and measure their straps.

—Barbara L. Becker, Partner & Chair Global Diversity Committee, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
"If you believe that your organization has done everything it can to enhance its diversity, and if you are still frustrated at how little progress you have made, Moving Diversity Forward is for you. It is an instructive read for all of those who wish to live and work in a multicultural world where everyone has a fair chance to succeed and contribute."
—Frank P. Barron, Chief Legal Officer, Morgan Stanley
"The numerous publications about diversity render it difficult to offer a new perspective, but Vernã Myers has done so. Moving Diversity Forward takes head on underlying challenges to successful diversity and inclusion efforts that often are left unspoken—and she has done so without being inflammatory."
—William A. Von Hoene, Jr., Executive Vice President, Finance and Legal, Exelon Corporation

—Mark E. (Rick) Richardson, VP & Associate General Counsel, GlaxoSmithKline
"In Moving Diversity Forward, Vernã Myers has written a much-needed handbook for those who are committed to tackling the problem of diversifying our law firms. The writing is crisp and intelligent. The advice is of substance. I highly recommend it."
—Harold J. McElhinny, Managing Partner, Morrison & Foerster LLP

'New rules alone will likely spark interest. Virtually every change was designed to create more room on the ice, which should produce more goals. Time will tell whether the modifications have their desired effect, but skill players who had been stifled in a congested neutral zone might finally participate in a league intent on showcasing their talent.'
With new rules, the future is wide open

OK, so I'm going to order some TK-409 chest lights, but I wanted to know 2 things first.
1) I've heard of the acetate stuff that's supposed to go over the board. What color should it be, and where can I get it?
2) Is the acetate supposed to be one clean piece that goes over the whole face of the board and then secured to my chest piece?
Pics will help a ton!
Thanks guys!

Arsène Wenger is trying to keep all of his players happy because he believes he will need every single one of them this season.
The Arsenal manager has built a large squad at Emirates Stadium - bolstered by a number of summer signings - but inevitably some of his players are getting less game time than others.
Wenger has made it clear that he intends to rotate his squad over a hectic winter schedule and he welcomed the healthy competition for places as he prepared to whittle down his options to 11 for Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham.
"I care about every player and I feel sorry for the players who do not get the satisfaction of playing," he said. "But at the same time in the press conference people say: 'Your squad is not big enough, why don't you buy more players?'
"It's difficult to find the right number of players you can have in the squad but in a season like England you need the players you have. And we have a big squad.
"We have as well chosen a job where we accept competition. And I think the players all agree with that and accept competition – but sometimes it's difficult to agree with my decisions and I accept that.
"A manager can only choose and make one decision. You can only play with 11. But I'm happy with the squad I have and I want every player to be happy. I try to keep them happy but that's linked with the number of competitions we stay in. Therefore it's important for us to win every single game to give an opportunity to all the players to play."
Andrey Arshavin is one of many international stars whose first-team chances have been limited of late but Wenger rejects the notion that the Russian is now a fringe player.
"He's not a back-up player but at the moment he doesn't play," said the manager. "Maybe he will play on Saturday.
"I feel sorry for every player who doesn't play but it is part of our job. Competition is part of our job and you must accept that in some periods of your career somebody can get in front of you."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Celebrated documentary filmmakers Errol Morris and Werner Herzog act as executive producers on Joshua Oppenheimer and Christine Cynn's deeply chilling documentary exploring mankind's frightening capacity for violence. Desperate to understand the rationale behind the mass killings of Communists in Indonesia during the 1960s, Oppenheimer and Cynn present former Indonesian death squad leader Anwar Congo with a unique opportunity -- reenact his savage crimes for the camera in the style of his favorite Hollywood films, and allow him the opportunity to speak candidly about his memories and motivations for committing mass murder. Later, as Congo recalls the various methods he and his followers used to intimidate and slaughter scores of Communists, the reality of his heinous transgressions begin to set in, and vivid nightmares fill his nights with unspeakable terror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hi there!
In China: My colleague is having trouble finding another job.
He is American, can speak basic Chinese, and has been teaching for 18 months. So no problem, right?
WRONG: there is a problem, he is about 40 and his parents are Phillippino, so he's not white. I think he s a fantastic teacher, but I think Chinese recruiters dont want him just because of his colour.
I am wondering is there any way to overcome this? Are there any schools in big cities or on the East Coast of China that will accept him? Please help ! Thanks.

it's like guns. they are just fun!!
Ditto on the black widow bows. they are perfectly made, balanced and beautiful bows. I knew them when they built bows out of their converted garage just south of Nixa Mo. I grew up shooting long bows. Moved up to re curves and finally converted to compounds. As I have grown older I have enjoyed rediscovering the joys of regressing (or progressing) to natural shooting again. There is a certain feeling that goes beyond pride in being able to use a bow without *thinking* through the shot and feeling the bow become an extension of your own body, and letting the unconscious part of you take over and guide the arrow to its target.
thanks for the answer. i don't plan to hunt with it. it''s just for fun and backup if ammo goes out of style :-D

"Reducing fixed costs in challenging times is important to Cluttons, a partnership of chartered surveyors, founded in 1765. Through a network of offices in the U.K., Europe, Middle East, South Africa and the Caribbean, Cluttons offer a very wide range of professional property management, agency and consultancy services across the commercial and residential sectors, for both investors and occupiers. In recent years, Cluttons delivered Microsoft Windows desktop, including Microsoft Office, IBM Lotus Notes and business applications to its users via a virtualized environment based on Citrix. Now it plans to switch from Office to Symphony, used with Lotus Notes 8.5.
Mark Clemence, Cluttons IT Director, stated, "The opportunity to use fully supported office productivity tools as part of the deployment of Lotus Notes 8.5 was too good an opportunity to be missed. We plan to use the cost saving to further invest in Lotus productivity tool sets."

JLP was determined to control costs within a competitive retail environment to deliver first-class service and products to John Lewis customers. It plans to deploy Symphony to approximately 8,000 employees. Providing Microsoft Office to all staff in John Lewis Department Stores was evaluated, but determined to be cost-prohibitive."

More traffic cameras for Cleveland
(Cleveland) - Police have deployed portable speed cameras to go along with permanently installed devices trained on passing motorists.
Cleveland has added its most recent round of speed traps to five thoroughfares citywide.
Safety Director Martin Flask says the speed cameras are being deployed to make the streets safer, and to stop lawbreakers.
He maintains that the revenue collected from traffic cameras only amount about 1% to the safety department's budget.
After the deployment, the city said two locations did not have required signs warning drivers that they were entering a speed enforcement zone.
Citations from those cameras will be dismissed until crews resolve the issue.
A third camera was shut down to be moved to a new location because trees obscured the cameras.
Henry Bentley of BantheCams.org claims cities like Cleveland are deploying additional traffic cameras because they are moneymakers.
He contends that that use of the cameras is unconstitutional, because they don't punish the driver who caused the infraction; they punish the owner of the vehicle, regardless of who is behind the wheel.
Bentley tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, traffic cameras do not improve safety, only cops can do that by taking drunk or distracted drivers off the streets, checking licenses, and motorists for outstanding warrants.

Kathy, you of all people would be the one I thought would be outraged on the infringemnet of personal communications between law abiding citizens, and warrantless searches. Say what you want ,but if they already have all of your data,you have been searched.

Had Snowden come forward as some 'think' he should have, we wouldn't have heard about him or none of his released papers, of which much is still waiting in the wings. That's likely the best reason we can assume that he is still breathing at all.

A photograph of children outside a primary school?! How dare you, I'm off to form an angry mob right now! We'll be looking for you outside Exeter Cathedral's West Window tomorrow, complete with flaming torches and misspelt placards..
More seriously though Cliff, are you sure that "Samsung has never made a superzoom camera" before? What about the (quite good) 15X Zoom Pro815 you reviewed in August 2006?
I saw samsung just announced the HZ50W in the PMA 2010 which should be the successor of this model I think.
... err does it have a viewfinder? Another thing it seems there are no super superzooms as image quality is often around the "7" mark...? Going back awhile I remember that fixed focus lenses were considered way better quality than zoom lenses... Nevertheless superzoom cameras are fun and capable of some really good photos.
Noodles - Your memory is clearly better than mine, I'd forgotten all about the Pro815. What a bizarre contraption that was; two LCD monitors, one of them 3.8 inches, a 15x zoom with no stabilisation and the slowest AF ever. Pretty decent picture quality for the time though.
Kai - Yes, you're probably correct. The photos I've seen of the HZ50W do look a lot like the WB5000, and the speed with which Samsung has been updating its camera range recently make it likely that an updated 14MP version will appear soon.
Terry - 3rd paragraph, page 2. It has an electronic viewfinder, although not a particularly good one.
Terry - Another thing it seems there are no super superzooms as image quality is often around the "7"
my thougths too, until I remembered this:
@Cliff: Hah, the only reason I remembered it existed was because of it's complete and utter breeze-block like weirdness. Almost bought one once, but ended up being boring and got an S9500 instead..
Thanks for the link Splogbust... and another thing!... why do electronic "viewfinders" have to be such a shoddy compromise on an instrument where optics take prime place...? A camera is all about the "view" before your eyes surely? I have a superzoom that has an awful electronic viewfinder...
I struggle with the review.
Why award the camera 8/10 overall when the thing that is most important - the image quality - is so poor I wouldn't change my Fuji S602 (now 6 years old) for it as the images look at least as good as the Samsung, if not better!
I can't even understand how it got 7/10 for image quality when the test shots are clearly poor by any standard, especially the ISO tests - mottling at 64ISO???
If that was me it'd be marked down a couple of points on image quality alone and at the price I'd say it was pretty poor value for money.
The price is very good actually, consider the feature it offers. Many other superzooms are more expensive than this one.
For image quality, I'd mark down one point to 6. but 7 is still fair. We should understand the score is relative. When u look at the score of compact camera, u are comparing to other compact camera. When u look at score of entry-level DSL, U are comparing to other entry-level DSL. as well as superzooms, When u look at the score, it is comparing with other superzooms. The score is not a absolute value for all kinds of camera.
And most superzooms have lower image quality. So the standard is also lower.
... time to find your 35mm SLRs, buy a roll of film, put your fixed focus 28mm or 50mm on the front and take some quality photos...?!

Alex Song says Arsenal won't be preoccupied by any single Milan player on Wednesday night – because they are strong all over the pitch.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic may be attracting attention after firing 15 goals in 19 matches so far this season, but Song insists the Italian giants are about more than just one man.
"When we go on the pitch we always just want to do the job," he told Arsenal Player. "We can't just try to focus on one player, we need to focus on their whole team and try to play how we want to play.
"I think if we manage it well we have an opportunity to do something there.
"I think it is a very important game for us, the Champions League is always something special to play in. We are going to come up against a very good team and we know that Milan have good players. They are a big club.
"But I think we are ready to play this game and we know how important it is. We just have to go there and try to get the result."
The final whistle on Wednesday will mark the halfway stage in the tie but Song insists that Arsenal's gameplan will not change even with a second leg to come.
"Arsenal have one style of play, it doesn't matter who we play against," he said. "We just need to play like we do every time and I think if we play the way we have done in the last couple of games we have the opportunity to do something great.
"I have never played at the San Siro so it is a very good thing for me. I've looked forward to this game and I just want to give my best to help the team. Everyone will be ready to do their job to make the fans happy."
