This item is no longer available.
If you're looking for a complete home theater system, you could shop for a Blu-ray player, a home theater receiver, a matching iPod® dock, speakers and a powered sub all separately or you can get the Sony BDV-N790W. Sony built this system for great performance, easy setup, and simple operation.
The receiver's built-in Blu-ray player delivers a stunning high-definition picture that'll look great on your HDTV. Enjoy exciting 3D images with a compatible TV when you play 3D Blu-ray discs. This system supports the highest-quality surround sound formats, like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio, for realistic wraparound sound to match the picture. And it includes a built-in iPod dock, so you can enjoy easy access to your digital music collection.
The 'N790W lets you stream online movies from services like Netflix® and music from services like Pandora® Internet radio right to your living room via a broadband Internet connection. Now you'll never run out of things to watch or listen to. To get started, just hook the receiver up to your existing home network with an Ethernet cable or use the built-in Wi-Fi®.
Some living rooms present a real challenge when it comes to installing the rear speakers in a surround sound setup. The 'N790W comes with a wireless amplified module that makes connecting the two back speakers a whole lot simpler. Plug the module into an outlet close to where you'll place the back speakers. Then connect the speakers with the included wire. The best part is there'll be no more wires running from the front to the back of your room.
You'll be able to finish your installation with just a few simple connections. Plug the player/receiver into your TV with an HDMI cable, and connect the three remaining speakers and subwoofer using the included speaker wire. Dual HDMI input adds the convenience of switching between Blu-ray and two more HD sources.
Very easy system to setup. Really good sound that the wireless rear speakers saved us a ton of wiring expose through out the room and has an automatic sound adjustment feature that uses a set of microphones hooked into the system - very very accurate

Disc Compatibility: The Sony BDV-N790W Blu-ray Home Theater System is compatible with many disc types.
|Disc Type
|Disc Description
|BD-ROM, BD-3D, BD-R (ver.1.1/1.2/1.3), BD-RE (ver.2.1)
|DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
|CD-Audio, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, SACD
Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a new high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 54 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and Home Theater Systems offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:
Note: Like DVD, BD uses region codes. The region code on your disc must match the region code on your Home Theater System, otherwise the disc will not play. The BDV-N790W is Blu-ray region A and DVD region 1. Blu-ray Disc uses the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) to prevent unauthorized recording of copyrighted material.
Firmware Updates: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your Home Theater System. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet. Occasionally, Sony may release updated firmware for this unit that may add or improve the way a feature operates. These updates are available free of charge. This unit is capable of checking the firmware automatically when connected to the Internet via broadband connection.
Note: The tested Sony contained firmware version M13.R.0203 (as of 5/17/2012). There was an immediate firmware upgrade (M13.R.0330) available. Visit the Sony eSupport Site for the latest firmware update information.
AVCHD: AVCHD (MPEG-4 AVC/H.264) is a high definition digital video camera format used to record in high definition or standard definition on DVD, using an efficient data compression coding technology. The format is designed to compress video and audio (Dolby Digital or Linear PCM) data, enabling a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on DVD discs, in the same way as it would be for a standard definition signal.
MPEG Playback: The Sony Blu-ray disc Home Theater System supports playback of MPEG (1-2-4) video files recorded on BD-RE, BD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs.
Still-Image Playback: This unit will play JPEG/GIF/PNG/MPO still picture files recorded onto BD-RE, BD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD-R, CD-R, and CD-RW discs. Still images on your disc can be viewed in a Slide-Show as well as rotated 90-degrees left or right.
MP3/WMA/AAC Playback: The BDV-N790W supports MP3/WMA/AAC audio files recorded on BD-R/RE, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs. When stopped and restarted, playback resumes at the same point as long as the tray hasn't been opened and the Home Theater System hasn't been turned off.
SACD: Super Audio CD use a technology called Direct Stream Digital (DSD) to convert music into a digital signal that can be stored on a disc. Compared to the traditional PCM method (the technology used for CD), DSD offers a much higher resolution by following more closely the original waveform of music. With a frequency response of over 100kHz and a dynamic range over 120dB across the audible frequency range - some 64 times higher resolution then CD - Super Audio CD offers music reproduction that reveals details you just cannot hear on a normal CD.
Dual HDMI Inputs: The Sony BDV-N790W is equipped with two HDMI (ver.1.4) inputs to let you connect a high-definition satellite receiver/cable box or game system for high definition video and audio. Both HDMI inputs are capable of carrying uncompressed digital audio (up to 5.1ch) and video up to 1080p, as well a 3D content.
Note: Video signals from the HDMI inputs are only sent out through the unit's HDMI output to your television. There are no composite, S-video, or component video inputs.
Video Outputs: The Sony BDV-N790W features two high-definition video outputs (HDMI) and one standard-definition video output (composite).
Note: Video signals from the BDV-N790W's HDMI inputs are only sent out through the unit's HDMI output to your television. You cannot output video from the receiver's HDMI inputs through the unit's composite video outputs. This unit does not offer a component or S-video output.
3D-Ready with 2D-3D Conversion: The Sony BDV-790W lets you enjoy 3D Blu-ray disc movies in full HD 1080p. 3D viewing requires compatible 3D content, 3D-ready HDTV, 3D emitter & glasses, and a high-speed HDMI cable (supporting at least 10.2 Gbps) connection. The Sony BDV-790W can also convert 2D (two-dimensional) video content into simulated 3D (three-dimensional) video when connected to a 3D-ready TV, with 3D-glasses. You can make adjustments to the 3D effect and 3D depth.
1080p HDMI Output with DVD Upscaling: Through the HDMI output, the BDV-N790W is capable of upscaling the resolution of your standard DVDs. Output options include Auto (highest resolution accepted by the TV), 1080p (60 Hz video or 24 Hz), 1080i, or 720p. If necessary the output resolution can also be set to 480p or 480i.
24p True Cinema: Movies are typically recorded on film with a frame rate of 24 frames per second. When a movie is transferred to Blu-ray Disc at 24 frames per second the BDV-N790W will output that signal to the TV (if the TV will accept the 1080p/24 format) with no need for conversion.
Deep Color: The Sony BDV-N790W supports a color depth of up to 12 bits. Connecting the unit and a TV that supports Deep Color via HDMI allows more accurate color reproduction than when connecting it to a TV that does not support Deep Color. The Deep Color function can be set to 10-bit, 12-bit, Auto, or Off.
x.v.Color: The BDV-N790W supports x.v.Color, offering a wider color range than the current broadcast standard. For the x.v.Color feature to be useful, the entire video production chain must be compatible (camera-editing-format-Home Theater System-display).
Screen Settings: The Sony BDV-N790W features the following screen settings:
Video Settings: The BDV-N790W offers the following video adjustments:
Cinema Conversion Mode: The Sony BDV-N790W offers two Cinema Conversion Modes - Auto & Video.
I/P Noise Reduction: I/P Noise Reduction improves the picture quality of Internet entertainment for crisp, clear HD images.
BonusView: The BonusView feature provides picture-in-picture capability with select Blu-ray Disc titles. You can view addition content (such as director/actor commentary) in a small display window while the movie is playing.
S-Master Digital Amplifier: The integrated Blu-ray disc/DVD receiver is equipped with an S-Master Digital Amplifier for superb accuracy, clear separation of signals, and balanced sound reproduction using a digital-to-digital process. It is designed to be highly efficient, producing minimal heat, while taking up 1/4 of the space of conventional amplifiers. The amplifier is rated at 125 watts x 2ch (Front Left/Right) at 1kHz in 3-ohms with 10% THD; plus 250 watts x 2ch (center/subwoofer) at 1kHz/80Hz in 6-ohms with 10% THD. The rear surround speakers are powered by a separate wireless surround amplifier that is rated at 125 watts x 2ch (Rear Left & Right).
Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (D.C.A.C.): The BDV-N790W is equipped with an Auto Calibration function to achieve ideal surround sound settings for your room. With the included microphone placed at the listening position, Sony's DSP automatically analyzes speaker placement and sets the delay times and output levels. The microphone has a threaded insert on the bottom so it's compatible with a tripod. Speakers configuration, speaker distances and output levels can also be manually set.
Note: If your prefer, you can setup the receiver and the connected speakers manually by using the receiver's manual speaker setup menu. You can adjust the level of each speaker from -6 to +6 dB in 0.5 dB steps and set the distance for each speaker from your main listening position (0' to 23' increments).
Surround Modes: The Sony BDV-N790W incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your audio and video software. The surround modes include:
|Stereo Modes
|2CH Stereo
|The 2 channel button sets the receiver to power only the front left and right speakers, no surround and no subwoofer. Two-channel sources bypass the sound field processing and multi-channel sources are down-mixed to 2 channels.
|Dolby Pro Logic
|Dolby Pro Logic
|Dolby Pro Logic transforms stereo sound into 4-channel surround sound with mono surrounds.
|Dolby Pro Logic II
|Dolby Pro Logic II transforms high-quality stereo sound into 5.1-channel surround sound. Thanks to its full-range performance, you will hear all the detail and subtleties of a compelling five-channel Dolby surround sound mix from a stereo signal. You can select between PLII Movie, Music, and Game modes.
|Dolby Digital
|Dolby Digital
|Dolby Digital has been selected as the default format for DVD video, standard 2 channel audio playback and HDTV Digital broadcasting. Dolby Digital features two independent surround channels giving same full range as the three front channels. Plus it adds a Low Frequency Effect channel LFE. Dolby Digital accomplishes this by using a technique called compression.
|Dolby Digital Plus
|Dolby Digital Plus is based on core Dolby Digital technologies. Dolby Digital Plus is an advanced surround sound audio codec designed specifically for evolving media. Dolby Digital Plus brings cinematic sound to Blu-ray, broadcast, online, game, and mobile phone entertainment (up to 7.1ch)
|Dolby Digital TrueHD
|Dolby TrueHD produces audio that is identical to and every bit as spectacular as the master recording. It lets you experience the full potential of Blu-ray Disc (up to 7.1ch), and is even ready for future HD delivery formats.
|DTS (Digital Theater Systems) uses the same concept as Dolby Digital, but implements a lower compression rate. This leads to more dynamic range, improved channel separation, and more subtle nuances.
|High Resolution Audio
|DTS-HD Audio delivers sound quality that matches the clear and vivid images of high-definition video. Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs deliver five times the video resolution of standard DVD and produce images with stunning realism. But that's only half of the story. You need incredible sound to complete the high definition experience and DTS-HD Audio provides the highest quality multi-channel (7.1ch) sound possible. Movies come alive with sound as lifelike as the picture, and music becomes as real as a live performance.
|Master Audio
|DTS-ES (Discrete/Matrix) delivers 6.1 channels of discrete or matrixed audio. Movies encoded in DTS-ES will dramatically intensify the DTS surround effect with the addition of a surround center-channel speaker.
|DTS 96/24 offers a higher quality level of multi-channel audio (up to 5.1 channels) for standard DVDs. The "96" refers to a 96kHz sampling rate (compared to the typical 48kHz sampling rate.) The "24" refers to 24-bit depth, compared to 16-bit depth used for CD sound, which means there is more audio information present.
|DTS Neo: 6
|DTS Neo:6 takes 2-channel (stereo) audio and completely transforms it into up to six full-bandwidth matrix channels of surround sound. Your home theater system will produce six and five separate channels, respectively, to match your speaker layout. DTS Neo:6 can also generate a center surround channel from 5.1 material.
|Music/Movie Modes
|Sound Modes
|You can select a suitable sound mode for movies or music. You can choose from Auto, Movie, Music, Sports, Game Rock, Omni-Directional, 3D Surround, Hall, and Night.
Note: 7.1 channel surround formats will be downmixed to 5.1 channels. The system's built-in Blu-ray Home Theater System supports all formats. The unit's HDMI and optical inputs do not support 7.1ch LPCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD.
ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be sent from your compatible HDTV to the integrated Blu-ray disc/DVD receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to your television.

The kit includes a 2-channel amplifier and two wireless transceivers. One wireless transceiver plugs into the back of the TA-S300WR while the other plugs into the back of the BDV-N790W. The BDV-N790W is able to wirelessly transfer the rear audio signal to the TA-SA300WR surround amplifier by using a wireless 5.8GHz frequency connection. The surround amplifier has proprietary speaker terminals that match the speaker wires supplied with the home theater system. The TA-SA300WR must be plugged into an AC outlet and speaker wires run from the surround amplifier to the rear speakers. The surround amplifier is rated at 125 watts x 2-channel (in 3-ohm at 1kHz with 10% THD).
Note: The TA-SA300WR measures 8.0625" wide x 2.3125" tall x 9.3125" deep.

Front Speakers: The Sony BDV-N790W features two 2-way front speakers with a separate 0.75" tweeter (0.75") and 2" woofer that deliver premium sound with better highs and lows. The front speakers are uniquely designed to provide a wider "sweet spot"; so even when you're watching with the whole family everyone will enjoy great sound. The front speakers employ a bass-reflex cabinet with front-firing port for added efficiency and midbass response. Each front speaker features a small pedestal stand which allows you to place the speaker on a table-top, shelf, or stand. The pedestal stand can be removed from the bottom of the speaker and mounted to the rear of the speaker, so you can wall-mount the front speakers using a single keyhole slot.

Did not work with mine worked first time then goes to flashing screen and everything has to be unplugged and reset this is and was the last thing I will ever buy from crutch field [ RICHARD Mar 05, 2014 ]
The specs say it is HDMI compatible. Yes, HDMI is very convenient. I have a HDMI pass- through amp, Just one cord. [ DANIEL M Mar 04, 2014 ]
I cant speak on your comcast box, but with my directv receiver, i do have problems with my pay movie channels like hbo...showtime...starz..etc.. When i turn to those channels, sometimes the screen will be blinking a black picture with the message "this hdmi cable is not compatible, please us standard hd cables". Then other times it works just fine....i have zero problems with the use of the dvr. Its been a good system for me as it offers a lot....i use it for netflix..blu-ray, pandora music, and internet. It has many features to choose from.....if you can overlook that little problem or just use standard hd cables it should be fine, but like i said this is with my directv box. I kept the hdmi cable by the way. Good Luck [ JEFF Mar 04, 2014 ]
I can't give you a definitive answer to your question because I bought this as a gift for my parents and they never used Comcast. I can say that you are correct about all HDMIs being the same, so I don't see why it wouldn't be compatible with the Comcast DVR box...I would suggest you ask Comcast directly if they know of any particular feature of the box that would make it incompatible with some accessories. [ Gazelle Mar 03, 2014 ]
I have mine hooked up to comcast DVr box. No problems [ CHRISTOPHER Mar 03, 2014 ]

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by S.J., Jul 18, 2012.
Wallace mentoring Macklin didn't seem to work.....
Wow the hate for Ben sure is strong.... He was signed by Joe to come back and sit on the bench and teach... how dare he be the best def big man we've had since he returned.... If any of our vet big man should go it should be CV or Max. They are the ones that will likely actually be stealing mins from our kids while not teaching them Jack. I expect our future star center be great... but is nobody listening to Joe or the coaches.... its going to be a slow process for the 18 year old to be ready for heavy mins and to be ready to anchor our def. Aslong as Ben is willing to be the hardworker he has been, to be happy with whatever role he is given by the coaches, and play with effort when in the game.... he's more then welcome on any team I am cheering for.
Nice posts Coyne.........I think Ben can tell youngsters to "get into the gym, hit the weights and build his body" without taking off his street clothes. Nice post round..........I WOULD take Ben over CV if that what it takes to rid us of him......problem is that JD WANTS CV on the team.
He will. 10-15. It's the same as with any type of practice - in order for the practice to lead to mastery, the practice has to be successful. You can't just a guy to take a ball and, using correct form, take a 100 shots into empty air; there has to be some sort of response (ball goes through the net) that creates positive feedback. The same thing with a game - if you're teaching a guy, you let him go out, work on the things he's supposed to be working on, get in the flow, play his butt off while his mind is in the game, and take him out while he's still doing what's supposed to be done. Boom, his floor time was now a successful practice session. Pat him on the back, tell him that he was doing exactly what he was supposed to, and let him play a little longer next time (so long as he continues to do it well). If you just stick him out there and let him play, then his mistakes become part of his ingrained court behavior. You have to keep him uncomfortable until he's doing the right thing, then you let him get comfortable doing it by increasing his playing time proportional to how well he plays. As far as Ben Wallace, he is infinitely more useful as a lockerroom leader than as a coach. There's a significant difference between someone telling you how to act and showing you how to act - "do as I say, not as I do," for example, has never been a particularly effective leadership line, especially for rich, egotistical young adults. Guys will listen to the coach, of course, but when you have an older guy who's a borderline hall-of-famer still playing at the age of 38, cut the way he is, in the gym every morning and not just telling the kids but showing them what needs to be done to get to the finals... that carries a lot of weight. @BillLaimbeer: you're right in that Wallace mentoring Macklin hasn't seemed to make a difference in his playing time; I don't know why that is, because it has clearly made a difference in his attitude and skill level. I really, really like Macklin and think he could be a solid rotational player in the future. I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull his own Ben Wallace thing, work his ass off until he gets picked up by someone, then go and be an all-star. I just don't get it; every squad he's been on, from the Pistons to the D-League to the Summer League, he works his butt off, gets a crap-ton of rebounds and up leading the team in rebound rate, +/- and ws/48. Why wouldn't you want a guy like that?
Ben is 50/50 on returning
I agree with taking Ben Wallace on the roster over Maxiel or Villenueva. I also wonder about Macklin. There is something that I am not seeing, because he always looks pretty good to me....not a star, but a hard-working guy that fills a role at the end of the bench for now. Too early to give up on the guy?
I hope he returns. I don't care who's spot he takes or which "young prospect" will have to play in the D-league. It would be a lot of fun to see Ben for one more year. Hopefully we can even make the playoffs for his final year.
I think, at this point he knows he is coming back. He can't really confirm it until a roster spot is opened up or it will look like he is pushing someone out. I like him coming back one more year. Since Gores has made it clear that the playoffs are the goal, I think Ben will really help with his veteran influence.
I firmly believe that players need minutes to develop and I care alot more about Drummonds development than the W-L record next season. However, I doubt the relationship between MPG and player development is as easy as increased MPG = improved player development, nor that it's linear. The optimal playing time regarding development is probably dependent of several variables. Conditioning, current ability, style, mentality etc. Right now Drummond is RAW and at this stage of his career it's a reasonable chance that he will suck big time when the season starts. If so, playing a guy like that major minutes and forcing him to make a fool of himself day in and day out will not only get him crucified in the media and by the fans, his teammates will grow tired of passing him the ball, the lockerroom might go sour and so on. Hearing the opposing fans chant "MVP! MVP! MVP!" as he's about to throw a couple of airballs from the FT-line over and over might break the kid. To develop under such circumstances would demand a motor and mental toughness like few others have. I highly doubt Drummond is this kind of person and these aspects are even said to be his weaknesses. The kids favourite movies are Happy Feet, Happy Feet 2, Pingu and March of the Penguins... Now if he's merely mediocre and not making a fool of himself, then there is room for alot more minutes but I think he'll play 10-15 MPG the first half of the season and 20-25 MPG the second half and I don't think having Ben Wallace on the roster will change that. I hope Frank gives Drummond the amount of minutes that maximizes his development and not the W-L record.
I'm all for Ben coming back for another season. Drummond could benefit from practice time with one of the best defenders the league has ever had. Would love to see him inspire the kid by pushing him for game time
Seriously? The Pistons can just pay me and I'll call the rookies EVERY day and say "all right guys, hit those weights, build your body, and don't forget to floss."
Even though Coynejeremy probably stands for Jeremy Coyne..........I still like your style.
This is just the Pistons unfortunately. They lost their way for a bit and Macklin looks like a casualty of packing the roster full of tweeners. To have a 3 year run like they've had and not come out of it with 1 guy like Macklin is incredible to me.
Regarding the 3 year run, Wade 2.1 is destroying the SL. Former Piston Terrico White having impressive Summer League for Clippers « PistonPowered
We have to understand what we are getting with Drummond. We are getting a player that very well may never average much more than 10PPG but can be a very good defender and shot blocker. Forget all the draft hype. He was not drafted #2 or top 3 - he was drafted at #9. Players at #9 do not have people shouting MVP during their rookie season. We are getting a Mutombo or Ben Wallace type player who is not going to care much if he shoots an air ball but will make up for it on the other side of the court. If Ben can teach him more defense then it would be worth the year right there.
It's the opposing fans shouting MVP because he averages like 20% from the FT line.
Seems like there was a guy drafted at 9 in 2001 who got some of that talk.
No hate for Ben. I totally agree that signing Wallace and eliminating BoT & JMax would be the ideal scenario. ...But Joe has not given the Pistons that option. Both of those guys are overpaid to the point that no other team would want them. Max is expiring so there is some hope there but we are likely stuck with these two guys for the entire season. In the NBA, 98% of the time coaches and GMs do not share the same goals. Coaches are paid to win NOW. GMs are paid to build teams and win consistantly. To give the fanbase enough hope that the direction of the team is worth investing time and money in them. IMO: Every single minute of the 2012/2013 should be about getting better and preparing the young roster to compete for the long haul. I could care less if our guys win one freaking game next year. I just wanna see anyone and everyone under a certain age get every opportunity to succeed or fail. I want each and every player who has the potential to be a part of the future to show significant improvement. Sorry, but I believe that Drummond and Slava would be better served by actually playing than watching Ben play. As long as Ben Wallace is on the team, Frank is going to play him over a rookie (He'd be stupid not to since his job is to win games!). By removing Ben from the equation, it makes it easier for the coach to do what I believe is the right thing.
As long as Andre Drummond believes that he "slipped" to the #9 pick and that he has top-5 talent, he should be treated like a top-5 player. Start him, and let him share significant minutes with Slava. Frank and his staff can make the game simple for them by limiting what they are asked to do. Be in the right spot on D, rebound and protect the rim. On offense, get every loose ball/rebound. If we treat Drummond like he's the 2nd best player in the draft, he just might become the 2nd best player the draft. I'm not saying that Frank should simply hand him everything, just make sure he know that the job is his if he decides to take it.
Y'all forget who owns the team. Big Ben on the team is going to sell more tickets than Macklin or VyKra. He'll be back. And, I'll be happy that he is back. Drummond will get his minutes, I don't worry about that. Just like Knight got his minutes last year. Yes, every coach wants to win now, but Frank can afford to throw away games to invest in the future. We all saw that last year. Plus, it's not like this is Kuester we're dealing with. For Q, it was his big break and he was panicky from the get-go. Joe can fire Frank today and he'll be able to land a head coaching gig somewhere else without even working for it.

text: Arguing about Kovtun vs Menshov 2013, while we should be wondering about Pluschenko 2014 for sport-express.ru The Russian Figure Skating Federation announced the European Team on Thursday: the men team remains with no changes: Russia will be represented by the Olympic Champion Evgeni Pluschenko, Sergey Voronov and the 17 y.o. Maksim Kovtun. Let me remind you: in the end of December right after the Russian nationals were over the Federation released the list of the European participants and the internet exploded with the support campaign for Konstantin Menshov. Despite becoming 3rd in the Nationals in Sochi beaten by Pluschenko and Voronov only Menshov was not included in the team and was replaced by the young and promising Kovtun. The athletes protest against the decision that seemed so unfair went as far as Russian sports minister Vitalii Mutko, who demanded RFSF reconsider the team. The situation is unique: it happened before there were disagreement about the team it never went as far as it did this time nor was so loud. Most of the comments could be summed up: `We are not for Menshov or against Kovtun. We are for following the rules' Ironically, but the federation actually followed the rules naming the team. According to the rules the national champion and the silver medalist make it to the team, while the third participant is decided by the federation. Menshov lost 25.18 points to Voronov and beat Gachinski and Kovtun by 1.42 and 3.86 points. Taking Menshov's age (he will be 30 in a month or so) and the tradition sending a young and promising skater it is hardly surprising the federation preferred the younger skater, rather than a not so consistent veteran. To understand the federation's decision one just have to look one year forward and recall that in Sochi 2014 there will be a new medal - for the team event. Russia can send just one participant to Worlds 2013 who must bring 2 tickets to the Olympics back home. According to the ISU rules the country gets 3 spots if the athlete becomes first or second in the Worlds, two spots if he is 3rd till 10th and just one participant should the athlete finish outside the top 10. Taking Pluschenko does not plan participating the worlds the odds there will only be one Russian skater in the Olympics are high. Should that only participant be Pluschenko no one can guarantee he will be able to skate 4 clean programmes. And he would have to give his best in the team competition - Russia's odds to win it are high. Much higher than, say, in men skating. I reckon that's the main reason which made the RFSF to come come to make the decision they did. The fact the athlete who gained the most from that decision is the 17 y.o. student of Tatiana Tarasova and Elena Buyanova is not the backstage intrigues, but a coincident. Only two skaters could be considered as Menshov's replacement: Gachinski and Kovtun. Gachinski's coach Mishin was against including his student in the team - Gachinski is far from his best shape and will not be able to compete the way he should in the Europeans. Kovtun on the other hand is a promising dark horse. He won both of his Junior Grand Prix events, showing decent skating, performed two new (senior) programmes in the nationals. Indeed his LP was not brilliant, he only landed one quad out of two, but that is understandable: he had just 2 week to make changes in his programmes for a senior competition. No one can promise Kovtun will be able to provide in the Europeans. But there is no better way to find out. Three people voted against Kovtun being included in the team: Mishin, Nikolai Morozov and Viktor Kudriavtsev. It's easy to understand their motives: should Kovtun skate well in the europeans he will become a serious threat for Gachinski, who is coached by Mishin and Voronov, who is coached by Morozov, leaving the fact Morozov kicked Kovtun from his group saying he showed no promise. As for Kudriavtsev- he always considered competing in the senior competitions at a young age a wrong thing. That was the reason Ilia Kulik left Kudriavtsevs group at the age of 17 and went to the seniors Europeans in 1995, which he won, instead of the Junior Worlds. It's useless comparing the skaters themselves in this situations. The RFSF made a decision according to a certain strategy, which they couldn't avoid living in a country where the sports is part of the country's politics. Especially when it's about the home Olympics. I'm quite sure those who are shouting about the rules don't think about the double standards: such as letting certain skaters not participate the nationals - for example the European silver medalists Bazarova/Larionov. It happened before the leaders were allowed to skip the nationals if there was a good reason and usually it was justified. As well as allowing the federation decide on the 3rd team member. This is the reason there is no right or wrong answer who should had been included in the team. The one who pays gets to say the word. Only the federations with a huge number of good substitutes can afford sending the 3 national bests (such as USA) or the countries where the athletes pay for everything themselves. It should be mentioned Menshov's not participating the Europeans does not mean the end of the season for him. The RFSF president Alexey Gorshkov mentioned the final choice for the worlds will be made after the Europeans where Voronov and Kovtun will have a chance and the Russian Cup finals in Tver on 18-21/2, where Menshov and Gachinski will participate. All four athletes are put in a position where they have to prove being the best. The only skater who could go to the worlds with no preliminary is Pluschenko, but that's a different matter. Among the numerous comments on the situation the question why can't the RFSF make Pluschenko go to the worlds was raised. After all Evgeny is the current champion whose training are payed by the federation and he has to represent the county if needed. I personally don't have an answer, though this question would make much more sense than the one that everyone keep asking. The disadvantages for Pluschenko personally in participating the Worlds 2013 are obvious: becoming the European champion he automatically gains all the benefits for the next season; while participating the Worlds is a bit of a danger: he has a chance to loose, which is not part of the Olympic champion's plan; and, at last, Pluschenko will participate the Olympics 2014 even if he is the only Russian participant. On the other hand: why not? He is capable to finish top 3. Should he become first or second Russia will gain 3 spots in the Olympics and Pluschenko will be considered the savior of the motherland, which will not shine any less if he doesn't win a medal at the Olympics. Pluschenko himself is so used to surprise and go against all odds, that should he decide to give the men skating a fight in March that will become the main issue of the season.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Finally time for updates here.
I did put together a pretty decent 350 engine for my jeep.
350 tbi engine block. 4 bolts main, bored .030" over. Cast crankshaft and factory 5.7" rods. Hypereutectic flat top pistons. Heads are from L98 Corvette #113. 1.94"/1.5" valves and 58cc chambers. Compression is 10.7:1.
The camshaft i did use was a little bit wilder than what was orginally planed. I did use Crane Powermax 272/284 camshaft 216/228 @.50" lift is .454/.480 and LSA is 112'
Intake manifold is an old tried and true Edelbrock Performer intake with 670 cfm truck avenger carburetor sitting on top.
Distributor is new MSD Hei unit. Timing is set at 16' base and 37' at 3000 rpm with vacuum advance connected to full manifold vacuum.
Exhaust is combined with 1.5/8" lomg tube headers with dual 3" exhaust. 4 glasspacks mufflers and 2 flowtech raptors to keep the noise down.
This engine does everything that it should. Vacuum at 700 rpm idle is 16-17" hg. Mileage is 13-14 mpg city with 38" tires and 4.56:1 gears
Best regards
Thanks for your advice
I did contact Comp Cams this week, and they did recommend Cam #12-234
Which is 4x4 type cam, that i find rather hot, thus given this is going to a Jeep that's going to be used on regular basis for long trip's where gas mileage and low end power is the main concern.
Would this be acceptable camshaft for my engine, or would it be better suited for me to go to step smaller cam.
Also I would like to be able to throw a little NOS on it once in a while !
Would Edelbrock 500 CFM carb be to little for this application ?
Building for mpg and building for power often take oppisite directions. You are asking for both and most of the advice you are getting is directing you toward power, hence away from mileage.
For a high mpg small block in a Jeep you would be hard pressed to find a better foundation than the 307 that was in it! The first thing I would do is ditch the RPM manifold. And all the hotrodders are reading that and thinking that I am nuts! Do you want a race car engine or a Jeep engine? High HP engines make lots of power, yes. But they are also notorious for making it @ higher rpms and sucking up gobs of petrol. There are things you can do to try to get the best of both worlds, but more often than not the more you lean toward power the farther it will take you away from MPG.
The RPM manifold has a small area cut out of the center divider, that takes away from bottom end power and it is also why it is called an RPM, that is what places it in a higher RPM range. This is BAD for bottom end torque and mileage.. Good for upper RPM power. Good upper RPM power is NOT an ideal engine for a Jeep!!
The GM throttle bodys are some of the best 4wd induction systems on the planet, they place emphasis on bottom end torque and mpg and will run at any angle including upside down. The next best thing IMO would be a very small 4bbl or even a large 2 bbl.
My best friend was a mechanic and they had an old Willys, it had nearly every engine under the sun in it at one time or another. The best one they ever found for it was a big Buick V-6. What a lot of hotrodders dont understand about Jeeps is that in 4 low you can get a boatload of torque from the whimpiest motors around, but 4 low is also murder on MPG. Been there done that.. The distance you can 4 wheel on a tank of gas is as valuable to a Jeeper as a lower ET to a hotrodder...
You want a good jeep motor? Here is what "I" would suggest for you. First of all, if you had an RPM manifold on an otherwise stock 307 then that is an oxymoron. It is a bad mix and it is no wonder that it was weak. A 307 built right could be an EXCELLENT jeep motor.. But what it needs is the right heads and induction. A set of 194 fuelies, 305 HO heads or Vortecs would wake up a 307 nicley without sacrificing any MPG potential. Go with a small cam like 220/440 and a throttle body or a small 4 bbl and youve got an excellent Jeep motor. In other words, if you take a 307, add a couple power features like the right heads and a small cam and an intake that places emphasis on bottom end torque, THEN youve got something..
If you already have the 350 built and want to go that direction then you have already given up considerable MPG potential. But what you DONT want to do from there is use an RPM or single plane manifold, use a big Holley or similar carb, or use to big of a cam. The reason smaller performance cams were dubbed "RV" cams is because the work really well for off roading/ lower RPMs. In short you want a cam that is designed to operate in lower RPM ranges. For your application you would be much better off with a stock 929 cam then too big of a cam..
If you go with the 350 then I would even consider the swirl port heads and throttle body. They will NOT make the best power, but they will get better MPG and they are BIG on bottom end torque.. However Vortec or fuelie heads will also deliver good mpg and much more overall power.. If I were building a Jeep motor I would look no further then the set of 305 HO heads I have in my shed, give them a good porting job and slap them on a stout 307. That would make FAR more power than any 305 or 6 cylinder Jeep motor and still be capable of really good mileage..
Good luck with your project and remember you are getting advice from people who build race cars here..
I'we been doing a little research on my own, I went to Comp cams website and found this cam which as you can see is rather mild - http://www.compcams.com/Company/CC/c...x?csid=95&sb=2
And based to you opinions this would be a good cam for my application. It's not to mild and not to wild.
But I recently found this dynamic comp calculator that i'm using - http://www.wallaceracing.com/dynamic-cr.php
And by inserting my Engine in this form, with this cam then i get a blazing 8.06:1 DCR which i find rather high if you look at that i'm only getting 160 psi Dynamic cranking pressure ! Which maybe is ok ?
What's the highest DCR that i can run on 91 Oct gas ?
And by going with this Crane Energizer 266 That Mr. Monzter recommended - http://cranecams.com/?show=browsePar...tType=camshaft
then my DCR would be at 7.75:1 with Cranking PSI of 152 Psi Which might be better for my Pump gas engine ?
When browsing at Crane Cams web site I found this Crane Cams Z Cams to bee interesting so i thought i put one of them as well into this formula. The particular cam i'm interested in - http://cranecams.com/?show=browsePar...tType=camshaft
When inserted in the formula it looks to be on pair with the Comp's 4x4 Cam, Thus i'm getting 8.01:1 DCR with 159 Psi Cranking compression.
Also another thought, I recently found a 500 CFM Edelbrock 4 BBL carb # 1404, Would it be a good idea to use this kind of carb on my SBC ?
Since low end power and MPG is the main factor !
Just a thought
I once heard that if on a motor that's got decent set of heads than you might get better results in low end power and MPG by using single pattern cam VS Dual patterned. So in my opinion that's something you should check out, And another thing to check is to get the most lift for given duration. But another thing is that with these new lobes like Comp's XE and Lunati Voodoo line is that these lobes tend to go flat out after minimal driving. (me myself have never tried out these new line of cams but I'm dying to try one out myself)
On other hand if you are willing to sacrifice some Power for reliability then I would check out these old cams like Crane's Energizer series for single patterned OR Crane Powermax series for Dual patterned.
My friend has got 266 Crane Energizer in his Toyota Land_cruiser and it's delivering some serious low to midrange power along with good mileage, He's running a 350 Chevy with 10:1 compression 416 305 heads and performer intake with 600 Holley on top... But on the other hand he's running manual transmission. So maybe you it would be better for you to run the 260 version, Since you got these big and heavy tires and Automatic transmission with stock stall converter.
Hope this helps.
Btw Again very nice Jeep's you got there.
you are not going to make a ton of power with the limitation of those heads, but it will make decent power, those heads aren't bad for a mild street motor jusst dont be too upset with my power estimations.
with a cam with these charictaristics you could expect to see about 300-325hp and 350-375tq
you should be looking for a cam with specs in these ranges
advertised duration: 258-270
duration @ .050: 206-216
lobe seperation angle (LSA): 110-112
valve lift: .425-.465"
Finally glad to be back on this awesome forum, Hope it's ok to update this thread...
Well, I'we been really busy this summer, so now I'm planing on getting the Jeep Ready for this winter. I'we ditched the 307 SBC as you know Jeep's need Torque and because of that I'we got my hands over a good 350 SBC Long block and a set of 1.5/8" long tube headers since you guys said it would be better for performance and mileage
I have lowered my gears to 4.56:1 to make it easier to spin these big tires...
The 350 engine is freshly rebuilt and does have Forged pistons (9.5:1) compression, A good sets of rods and crank, It's a 3970010 Block that's got 4 bolt main's.
The heads are a set of 186 Camel humps with 1.94"/1.5" valve's they got fresh valve springs, and valves.
The only thing needed to complete this long block is a good decent 4x4 Camshaft.. Which I don't have a clue what would be best to use.
I had planned on using the same Performer manifold that was going on the 307 SBC, but ditch the carb for 600 CFM Holley vacuum or Edelbrock !
I have also gotten my hands on Mallory Unilite Distributor with Msd 6A Ignition Box and Blaster II Coil, for hotter and better spark.
So right now i'm getting ready to gather these last part's to complete the engine build for my Jeep !
I need a powerful Engine with gobs of low end torque with acceptable horsepower and good mileage !!!
Thanks and greetings from Iceland !
Hope I'm welcome back...
Time for update in this thread !!!
When the time came and i put the TBI 350 in the engine stand it came along that is was stuck and needed a total rebuilt, which i was not ready to do at the time, so back to the basic, I'we got my hands over bone stock 307 SBC, aside from the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and 650 Holley DP, It has exhaust manifolds and stock heads, not sure about the compression and internals.
What can i do to get the best mileage from this engine in my old Jeep ?
If i'm not clear on things please ask
Best regards.
Thank's a lot for your help Mr. Ap. I appreciate it a lot
I will update this thread when i'm making some progress with this project.
Greetings from Iceland.
|may need to slightly modify the bolt holes, not a big deal. A stock HEI in good condition will be fine. As everyone has already said, 15 MPG is a reasonable goal if everything is in check.
Thank's again Ap.
I really like the sound of that Jeep in the video, barely noticeable at idle, which is grate and won't drive you crazy during long trip's.
Then the next part Ignition... Is Stock GM Hei with Msd 6Al good enough ?
Also do I need to modify the bolt holes on the pre '87 intake to fit the '87+ heads ?
And the endless question, with the engine this mild and everything in good condition and properly tuned, would 15-17 MPG on the highway be in reach ?
Greetings from Iceland..
I like magnaflows, they make some noise when you hit the lod pedal but cruising they have little interior resonance (Flowmasters have a lot of resonance). With 2 1/4" exhaust into a 3" pipe and then a single magnaflow muffler with a 210/210 cam it'll be pretty mild. noticeably different but not a race sound by far.
Sound pretty close to this:
I just took the 200 duration cam at an example, I'we ran with 216/228° cam with no issues and as i'we learned with that cam, is that it's too big to be used with stock converter and these high gear's i'm running. IMHO.
I haven't made up my mind yet about the mufflers, but it must at least be quiet at cruising ! what do you recommend for both application's ?

Hello to you all,
I'd like to introduce myself and say how much I appreciate the warm welcome and the heartfelt appreciation of my work I got from some members. My name is Eric, I am on the wrong side of the 30es, I currently live in Berlin, Germany, and have been an amateur photographer for quite some years. My personal circumstances changed after a painful divorce and I decided to travel and work a couple of years here, a couple of years there. So far, I lived in 5 different countries and learned an awful lot about people, cultures, languages and civilization in its wider meaning. Photography has been a hobby, but because of travelling, it took a bigger part in my life, and after upgrading to better (and more expensive) equipment, I have come to the point where I want to learn more and share my work with others. I really want to thank all of you who left very positive appreciations and warm messages, sharing my vision of life is very intimidating, and the quality of some other members work is sometimes a deterrent to sharing pictures that are special to me but do not have the technical perfection seen on other shots.
I will surely spend more time having a look at your work, some members here have unbelievable skills, I'd love to learn from them to improve and develop my own.
Again, thanks for the warm welcome, and for sharing your passion.

In our modern world, it can be easy to Google CBD eliquid, read a few articles, and think that you've got all of the information on the subject. However, as more people have become familiar with CBD infused products offered at CBD Drip in Collinsville, Mississippi, more questions arise. Many people ask about the benefits of CBD rich hemp, and exactly what CBD extract is. They understand that CBD crystal is pure and often only sold wholesale, but that's about the limit of their knowledge. Here we will break down a few things that you might already be aware of, as well as a few new nuggets of information that you may have questions about. This way, you can keep the customers that walk into your shop informed.
One question that gets asked often is if it is better to buy CBD in bulk or can you get it in smaller amounts? While you can get smaller amounts, if you want the most cost effective solution for your patrons, you'll go ahead and buy CBD for vaping and other purposes in large quantities. CBD Drip in Collinsville, Mississippi is a CBD wholesaler that offers multiple products in bulk. CBD bulk concentrate gives you more cannabidiol per amount and is a very popular product. If you want to purchase a CBD dietary supplement, they will be able to offer you that as well. Even though you are buying in bulk through your CBD distributors, be sure to inform patrons that are just starting out that you only need 1 or 2 mg daily of the CBD concentrate to start. They can easily work their way to the desired amount from there.
You might get asked if CBD oil is safe to use by the people that frequent your shop. While some feel that cannabis oil is not beneficial and they put vaping on the level of smoking a cigarette, but that is simply due to lack of knowledge on their part. Studies have show that CBD and hemp oil are both beneficial and safe for heart health, immune system support, and eyesight. In fact, the list of hemp oil benefits is quite long! People often ask what is hemp, and why does it have so many benefits? Well, it has a lot to do with the natural nutrients that occur in hemp and the CBD hemp oil that can be produced by it.
However, many people in Collinsville, Mississippi don't only wonder what is hemp, but ask if it is the same thing as marihuana. While they are in the same cannabis family as one another, they are not the same. A marihuana plant produces medical marihuana and gives you a "high" effect. It is used for medical purposes to help relieve pain and trigger appetite. CBD hemp oil is not going to give you the same effect but still has the ability to wake up cell brain receptors. Weed oil is another product that has all of the health benefits that hemp offers, but is not going to give you that "high" feeling.
People in Collinsville, Mississippi who are uninformed often assume that cannabis oil is going to give off the same effects as smoking marihuana, but that just isn't the case. Cannabis is derived from a plant and the nutrients in the leaves and stem offer a feeling of relaxation. Medical marihuana is becoming more in demand because the positive side effects it has on people who are ill. Marijuana oil offers different results in how people feel; however, it has many of the same healthy attributes that hemp has. Cannabis oil has been used for many cancers such as lung cancer treatment and prostate cancer treatment. Plus, people suffering from other serious diseases, like Crohn's disease, benefit from hemp oil. CBD oil also treats issues like anxiety and depression. Scientists and many experts in the medical field continually study and find more uses for hemp oil.
The benefits of hemp oil cover a wide range from recreation to helping cure cancer. Hemp oil uses can be as simple as reducing stress, relieving thoughts of depression, as well as calming anxiety. Hemp oil can also help lower cholesterol because it improves the metabolism. Hemp oil has been shown to be good for diabetics since it has a low sugar content and keeps blood sugar levels stable. Other hemp oil benefits can be seen because of the omega 3 and omega 6 that it contains. CBD hemp oil is great for rejuvenating the skin. Basically, when you see hemp oil for sale in Collinsville, Mississippi, you should grab some!
Above, we talked about the many ways hemp oil can help everyday issues, as well as helping cancer patients. While it is not a cure for cancer, using hemp oil for cancer has shown to have a positive impact. The list of hemp oil uses only grows with time. Hashish oil will contain different plant matter, but has also been shown to have many similar benefits that CBD oil and hemp oil have. And these are just a few ways hemp products can make a difference.
When you use CBD hemp oil for cancer treatments, studies have shown that it improves the immune system and the body is able to regenerate itself in a way that makes it stronger than the cancer. Hemp oil cancer benefits are growing every day, and as more people learn about hemp oil cancer benefits, they will be looking for places to buy CBD oil in Collinsville, Mississippi. Some of the treatments cannabis oil has been used for are as follows:
It is important to note that the laws surrounding the use of cannabis oil vary between states. However, CBD oil is starting to see the recognition it deserves as more people ask what is hemp oil, and what are the benefits of it. Many people will move to states that offer hemp oil if they are ill in order to utilize all of the options available when fighting cancer.
When you are ready to buy cannabis oil in Collinsville, Mississippi, look no further than CBD Drip. We have a wide variety of products that range from CBD ejuice to 100 vg liquid. We take the time to provide you with products that your customers request by name. We know that people have their favorite CBD vape juice flavors. That's why we work with you to make sure the CBD vape oil that we carry is what sells. We want to save you money with cannabidiol eliquid wholesale prices, so you can buy CBD oil at lower prices than anywhere else in Collinsville, Mississippi. As the hemp oil market continues to grow, we will continue to expand our inventory. Because of the health benefits of CBD hemp oil, we have seen a lot more interest in sales opportunities for shops around the nation. CBD e liquid can be used in a variety of ways. Just like vg e liquid, many people use it for vaping because they are working to quit smoking cigarettes.
CBD hemp oil is what most people look to when they want to be healthier. However, medical weed is still one of the most popular choices for doctors and patients. Cannabis oil is often used for preventative measures. Because CBD oil has so many nutrients, it can be used when you are not ill. As hemp oil sweeps the nation, we are seeing people become more educated on the matter. It's still surprising that medical marihuana is only available in a limited number of states, but that number is expected to change very soon as new research emerges. Medicinal marijuana can help adults and children who have seizures, frequent nausea, and nerve pain.
Next time someone in Collinsville, Mississippi asks you, "What is hemp?" let them know that beyond being a plant, you can make plastics and clothing out of it, as well as utilize it for its medicinal properties. CBD hemp oil is able to relieve pain of those who are sick. The hemp oil benefits are a growing list as we learn and understand more about this amazing species of plant. CBD vape oil is used by people of all ages for a multitude of reasons. Hemp oil uses range from vaping, to putting it in a pill, to applying it directly on the skin. Many who apply it directly on the skin are often using hemp oil for skin cancer, odd moles, or blemishes. Weed oil is often used for vaping and to get the flavor experience of marihuana but without the high.
As CBD oil grows in popularity, it is becoming easier to find it in Collinsville, Mississippi. CBD Drip offers vaping stores and similar shops quality CBD hemp oil. As people become more aware of the benefits of CBD e liquid and hemp oil, they will start to accept that it is a part of their community and daily activities. Of course, there is a certain etiquette that comes with CBD vape oil. When you are vaping with CBD e liquid in public, you should always be mindful of those around you. Always ask those around you and the owner of the establishment that you are in if you are welcome to vape with your cannabis oil. Don't get frustrated if they say no. Simply ask about their policy and work towards answering their concerns in a calm manner.
If we work together to educate people about CBD vape oil, then we can abandon the negative stigma that many people have come to associate with it. As said before, many people have just never been given the proper knowledge about CBD oil and all of the benefits that surround it. But don't worry. Even if hemp oil is not welcomed in your Collinsville, Mississippi community yet, it is only a matter of time. CBD hemp oil has been addressed by many public figures as a positive influence in our lives. This awareness will only grow stronger over time.
When you own a shop in Collinsville, Mississippi, there are a lot of people who probably request a wide variety of cannabis oil and similar products. CBD Drip has wholesale CBD oil for sale and then some. The inventory for hemp oil is large because it is in high demand. Since the legalization of medical marihuana, there has been a boom in the industry and more people know what hemp is and what it can do for you. Plus, with this generation being determined to stop smoking for good because of lung cancer, CBD hemp oil will be the product that many people turn to in order to successfully quit.
When you buy CBD oil for the patrons in your shop, you'll be offering a service that more and more people are going to be interested in. Cannabis oil will soon be something that people understand and use on a daily basis. Of course, many people already use CBD oil every day. It's going to be up to us to educate those who are still resistant to accept hemp oil because they don't know what hemp is. The hemp oil benefits are just too exceptional to ignore.
Offering CBD oil for sale in your Collinsville, Mississippi shop is the first step in providing a valuable service. When you offer cannabis oil for sale, then you are exposing those who are unsure about it and giving them an opportunity to ask questions. The more people that are exposed to CBD oil for sale, the better chance the industry has to thrive. CBD hemp oil is an amazing product, and it is time to share it with your community. Don't let them go another day without CBD vape oil and like products. The time is now to buy cannabis oil and make people aware of the benefits.
As Cannabis oil grows in popularity, it is time to grow your inventory and buy CBD oil. People are continually asking, "What is hemp and what are the benefits of hemp oil?" This peak in interest about hemp oil is a positive shift in the right direction for our industry. Let your patrons know that the list of hemp seed oil benefits is long and always evolving.

I remember the outrage when we traded a minor league pitcher with good numbers (Buddy Carlyle) for Kroon. I trust Walt to sort out the keepers in the minor leagues. Other than the Harden-Mulder deal, he's proven to be pretty good at that.
If we're stuck with Arroyo, Cordero and Harang next year, might as well try to piece together a starting 8 and do something.
Once again, I am thrilled to see EdE get "booted" out of town.

text: I thought it might be fun to compare the best competitive performances of the best skaters, starting with ladies. Take a look and see what you think. Who do you think is truly the "best of the best?" (Of course, these are just my opinions of their best performances.) Can you imagine if all these performances were in one actual competition?

text: As everyone knows Kwan was missing from the 2006 Olympics and 2006 Worlds. However for most skaters this left no asterik on their achievements as Kwan was no longer the one to beat, and Cohen, Slutskaya, Arakawa, were all likely to beat her anyway. Even for Meissner, the absence of Asada and Kim tainted her achievement more than Kwan not being there. However Fumie is the exception of the top skaters. Had she won bronze over Slutskaya at the 2006 Olympics, and gold over Meissner at the 2006 Worlds, as many felt she deserved, her marks probably would have been tainted by Kwan not being there. In fact in her case more than Asada not being there, as she had beaten Asada at Japanese Nationals but never beaten Kwan. This is the reverse of the others whose achievements were not tainted in anyway by Kwan's absence as they all probably would have beaten her anyway, but are tainted by Mao not being there. In Fumie's case she has never beaten Kwan in any competition though, not even in a COP meeting, so anything great she would have achieved would have been tainted by Kwan not being there.

anyone know how they did that in the movies, I would love to know.

You can mix a LOT of Aluminum powder in with epoxy resin and when it hardens, wet sand and buff to a great metal look. Using this method COMBINED with the RNB will give you the ultimate metal finish.
Since you are new and do not know, what was used in the movie was a product called Rubb and Buff. Also know as RNB on these boards. If you do a search you will see many of us have used it. You can find it in a craft store like Michael's.
That stuff wont set up on some plastics, unless your using all fiberglass armor like they did in the movies I would not recommend it.
What I did with some of my other costumes to create a metal look effect was to dull it down a bit by "weathering". For example, I combined a bit of reddish brown primer to a plastic replica powder rifle, sanded it and scuffed it up a little here and there and it looks so realistic that people would swear it's the real thing. The rifle looks like it 100 lbs. or so but it only weighs about 6 lbs. Also, If you are working with any parts that have "in lays", pits, scratches, lines, ect..I would recommend that those areas to be touched up with the next shade darker to add the illusion of depth and weight. Now it all depends on what costume you are doing like Jango or Boba. This would work better with Boba in my opinion because some of his attire is a bit duller. Jango on the other hand is a bit brighter but with a few scuffs and small dents here and there. I hope my input can help in any way. Good luck!
oh, I'm doing boba, and ethier way I'll probably have to touch the helmet up a bit.
