|fear agression, no matter how improved, will always need to be managed.
I didn't choose any answers.
It depends on the dog and the situation. My dog was fear aggressive when having her nails trimmed - running away and when caught growling and air snapping. Had she been pushed further, likely biting. However, I used CC on her in the beginning. This is a recent video:
I have no worries about being bitten and she has improved since this video - she will now come to me and lie down without prompting if she sees or hears the clipers. And if I clip the other dog's nails first, she will lay and watch (and if she becomes impatitent will paw at me for her turn).
|I voted but I probably shouldn't have. I have two fear aggressive dogs. One that has improved but still needs management and the other that is a genetic hot mess and will always need management. I do believe there can be some improvement for all but it could take years so the real answer is always MANAGEMENT.
|I also agree this is a case by case basis, but chose the second answer because I would like to think that's the most comon result. I say this as somebody who had to put an aggressive dog down after years and many thousands of dollars on treatment to try and 'fix' her, so in the end, all four choices are probably POSSIBLE, but not likely. The second and third are likely the most common by far though, and I'm not sure I'd ever totally trust a dog that had had fear aggression in the past with strangers and no management.
|I agree that this is a case-by-case issue, so it's hard to vote on it. I also think there should be a 1.5, where at first when you're working with the dog then you need to manage the environment very closely, but after a few years when the dog is more mature and after having enough neutral experiences with whatever it fears, then the dog will adapt and accept it. IME, anyway.

I didn't vote either, it depends on the dog in my book.
I had a fear biter, he wasn't over the top, with management 24/7 , he was ok , lived a pretty normal life, but it was manage manage manage..
|I rehabbed Basu to a point where he was _almost_ normal but he still needed management. It took many years and a lot of daily training and exercise but people really couldn't believe he was the same dog I adopted.
|In my experience (which is admittedly just with one dog), it's largely just management. I've seen very minor improvement with positive reinforcement and a small diet change, but he is never going to be a dog I can safely have around other people.
I would have chosen all three of the lower ones. And I do not know about the first one. But I chose the second as the answer I think in most cases to be true.
I think that weak nerves is a continuum. A dog with very weak nerves, many symptoms, with bites, maybe the best thing for such a dog is to put it out of its pain.
I think most dogs do not fall into that extreme. And for those dogs, it is dependent on how weak their nerves are, what symptoms are showing, as to whether it will be mostly management with some improvement, or definite improvement, but of course management.
I think the dog is what it is. But by managing the environment, carefully socializing to new situations and people, building the confidence level of the dog and of the dog/owner team through training, the dog can be brought much farther than if the dog was put on a chain in the back yard and neither socialized or trained, and possibly allowing some negative experiences where the dog is as well. If you take that same dog and push it beyond its threshold and give it harsh corrections for any type of aggression, you can make a dog into a ticking time bomb.
I think the amount of improvement possible under ideal conditions is dependent on the dogs genes.
depends on how fearful the dog is but imo no you cant fix it, you can only manage it. a dog should be your best friend that you can take everywhere and enjoy your time with. not something you need to constantly worry about. a pet should be therapeutic and not a source of stress.
you can try really hard with a dog and train constantly but sometimes its more humane to put a dog to sleep than have them sleeping with one eye open and nervous and fearful for 10+ years of their life.

Question: We get low productive efficiency in air-operated equipment and controls because of excessive air-line water. How can we eliminate the moisture?
Answer: Most air compressors are equipped with aftercoolers designed to lower the compressed air's temperature and remove some water vapor from the airstream. But an aftercooler can't remove all the moisture contained in ambient air.For instance, a 25-horsepower compressor delivering 100 cfm at 100 psig can produce 18 gallons of water per day at fairly standard conditions of 90°F ambient temperature and 50% relative humidity. An aftercooler will remove approximately 75% of this moisture, leaving about 6.2 gallons of water per day to run through the air-supply system. Engineers suggest two ways to remove this moisture. One way is to further lower the compressed air's temperature after it's passed through the aftercooler, causing water vapors to condense. Refrigerated and thermal mass dryers cool the compressed air as it flows through refrigeration circuits. However, the refrigeration systems don't work well under dusty or below-freezing conditions.
A better choice for concrete producers is the second dryer style, which employs desiccants to remove moisture. This type of dryer is more common in concrete production plants because it is effective in winter weather, when the pipeline temperature drops below 35°F. Manufacturers offer single- and double-tower desiccant dryers that remove moisture differently.In a single tower dryer, absorbent desiccant beads attract vapor. Because the beads dissolve slowly, they require occasional replenishment. In a twin-tower style dryer, water is captured with adsorbent desiccants. Rather than dissolving upon contact, these desiccants hold the water until it is purged by either internal heaters or countercurrent airflow. Since the tower must be removed from service during purging, each dryer has two desiccant-filled towers. While one is drying compressed air, the other is being regenerated for the next drying cycle.Managers with plants using rotary vane compressors usually avoid twin-tower dryers because airstreams from those compressors often contain higher-than-normal quantities of oil. If this oil is not removed, it will damage the desiccant and cause other hazards. Producers interested in reducing airstream water should consult air dryer manufacturers for help in sizing and designing their systems.

Anyone keeping track of Audis DTM efforts will immediately recognize one very regular face in the Geneva Motor Show stand of Abt Sportsline. One of the brothers behind the fabled Audi tuning brand, Hans Juergen Abt is also the Team Director of Audi Sports Team Abt Sportsline. No surprise, Hans Juergen was on hand at Geneva to help launch
In case you didn't catch it, Scottish singer Amy MacDonald played the Audi press conference at Geneva last week. As we prep for our show wrapup that'll run later today, we've stumbled across video of the singer performing her single "This Pretty Face" on the Audi stand. The song's a good one though good luck getting ahold of it if you're a Yank. We've checked iTunes and Amazon and neither have
With the A3 Concept now fully revealed, render artists like Theophilus Chin have wasted no time in their work imagining just what a production A3 might look like. Our sources at Audi say the A3 family offerings of 3-door, Cabriolet and Sportback offerings will carry over to the new generation and of course a sedan will now be added. And while the concept car's large wheels and aggressive carbon fiber brightwork
One thing we love about the Geneva Auto Show is its magnetic attraction to design houses like Giugiaro, Pininfarina, Bertone and Touring Superleggera as well as specialty sports car manufacturers like Spyker and Gumpert.
Having been through a tough economy the ranks of this cottage industry as seen on display at Geneva may have
As with our interview at the Detroit Auto Show with Audi of America boss Johan de Nysschen, we worked again at Geneva with Audi's social media team to perform several interviews to help tell the story of Geneva. First up is chief of design Stefan Sielaff who takes questions from Twitter and Facebook and talks quite a bit about the new Audi A3. Watch below.
There's no doubt the super light and super fast Lamborghini Aventador super sports car was the star of the Volkswagen Group's reveal night the day before the opening of the Geneva Motor Show. When the Geneva PalExpo finally opened to the motoring press, the latest Lambo likely remained one of the most popular 'Best of Show' nominees in straw polls over
Okay, so we told you about new models or concepts like the A3, RS 3 Sportback, Q5 hybrid and A8L Security. So what of the rest of the line? If you're curious about what other models Audi pulled out for the event in Geneva, follow the link to our photo gallery below.
Full Story
Have a thing for scale model cars? Not concerned about wearing too many pieces of Audi flare?.... Same with the Europeans. One of our favorite aspects of auto shows on the Euro side of the Atlantic are the fixation on swag. Standard issue for a car company show stand is a brand store. The theme carries over in the tertiary halls of the venue where model
Unlike most North American auto shows, the European events tend to embrace a wide scope of automotive related businesses. In that vein, tuners and the aftermarket are a natural addition.
In Geneva there are really two levels of tuner presence. Companies like MTM (above) and Abt Sportsline (below) go big with the approach of building
Okay, so you've seen it all over the web. Doesn't matter. The gallery linked below is worth checking out. Not surprisingly, staff of this website stayed close to the A3 concept and thusly we have plenty of photos of the car. Think every angle, detail shots of the interior and even photos of the carbon-fiber dressed I5 engine.

Getting an Internship Without Losing Your Mind
For about six weeks this summer I lived in a Los Angeles Ramada, and, when I would leave, I would leave to go work at Disney Studios. Not Disney "Land" or "The Disney Store," Disney, Disney, where they work in buildings that look like this:
For a guy who would otherwise spend his summer watching Stargate SG-1 on hulu, delivering mail to buildings suspended by impossibly tall dwarves seems like a pretty nice gig. Though this is not to say I didn't have my obstacles, or that the stars weren't aligned against me and, in fact, were using their combined gravity to crush me into nothing with newer obstacles. In one way or another, they were. Getting an internship is hard. Having an internship is hard. But it's worth it, and, at Wittenberg, it's doable.
Despite the fact that "writer" was absolute dead last on my Meyers-Briggs "career suggestions" page, it's something I want to explore—television writing especially. Television writing is cooperative and argumentative, and all the things the little extrovert maniac pulling levers inside me loves to gobble up. It's curious and unusual and still a pretty young form of writing. There's incredible potential in Television, and ever since I've been old enough to make Batman fight my Dragonzord, it's a pool I've wanted to play in. To accomplish this, I came to Wittenberg, a school with no Film major, met two likeminded geniuses, and with them made my own Film major. This and my English major would make me unstoppable. Taking the Summer Screenwriting Institute two summers ago with television professionals would make me even more unstoppable. Double unstoppable.
The process feels good until—oh—about the time you reach the immovable object of Internship, and then it becomes torturous. It doesn't start out that way. Last January I pulled together some glowing letters of recommendation and a polished resume and a list of about one hundred places I could apply, and I went down the list, mailing and emailing, until everything, including my typing finger and sense of smell, was exhausted. And so I waited. And I waited.
And one time (!) I got a rejection letter, but then I waited some more. I applied for some real jobs. And waited. And soon it was late April, and I told my family that I guessed I was going to be unemployed for the summer, so I would at least do my community service. So everyone graduated and I did my community service. My application for Best Buy expired.
And then on July 16th, after a series of freak phone calls, I got an email telling me that I had an internship in LA starting July 21st. For those of you not counting, that's five days (or three business days) to plan a cross-country flight and return flight, find a place to live, figure out transportation, fax several rounds of paperwork, settle all my scores in Springfield, and shave off my beard which I find endearingly vagrant but most others just find homeless. Here begins the first lesson: you work at the allowance and mercy of everyone around you. No one owes you anything. In fact, they owe you so much nothing, that you need to do everything in a very small amount of time. Do you plot and/or rebel? No. You smile and have mini-heart attacks and forget what you said to the executive on the phone seconds after you take the call because, well, you're just so full of joy and nervousness at great big scary horizons like that.
I found the money and the flight and the Ramada and soon I was in LA. Careful study taught me that LA public transportation was hard to handle, so I ended up renting a car from Rent-A-Wreck. That's what you do when you're under 25. You rent something someone else has ruined. Also, in my experience, what you'll be driving is green 100% of the time, a Buick 100% of the time, and there's a 100% chance that it will have at least two major functional problems. These are not cosmetic "my car has three or four unrecognizable international hate symbols carved into the side" problems. These are "my car shuts off while I'm driving on highways" problems. Not to worry. You can call AAA a lot of times before they don't help. After all, it's not the journey.
…It's the end of your journey where you coast up to security and try to explain why, when everyone else rolls down their windows to hand the armed guard identification, you are opening your door and climbing out of your car. There are ways to feel homeless even when you shave.
Only now, after all of this, could I park on the roof of the garage, find my way to the studio, go up to the fifth floor, and start my internship. From my imagination, internships seem like a lot of grunt work, necessary and unnecessary. A lot of copying and faxing and taking coffee orders. That's probably pretty accurate across the board, and it's exactly what I was anticipating. And sometimes, that was the case. Technically, I was an intern with the Production Office of Brothers & Sisters, and that was definitely copyfaxcoffee central. I was only there for six weeks, though, and anything I was doing was already someone's real job. Much of the time for the first week, I had nothing to do—and I asked.
Note (in case you didn't have a mom who defined "chores" as loosely as mine did): always ask what more you can do. It's impressive and becoming.
As you are currently enrolled in or at least interested in college life, I assume you've mastered the skill of "looking busy," and will not waste your time explaining its importance here.
On my second day, Script Supervisor Margery Kimbrough invited me down to the set to get a feel for her job. She's the reason I was in Los Angeles at all, being that she was the friend of the sister of someone my dad worked with, who passed my resume up to some producers (never be ashamed of family contacts—positions usually have more than enough qualified applicants), and she thought she should meet me. Or something. Things like this, if you can't tell, make me endlessly nervous. Nevertheless, swaggering hero that I am, I went unweepingly to set and sat quietly behind Margery, the Director, the Director of Photography and the First Assistant Director, asking questions when I managed to think of them and smiling and nodding like "yeah! I feel that way too! It must be because we're in the same exclusive club!" more than I should have.
At the end of the day, when new computer programs and digital video technology had everyone with an actual job, you know, actually doing something, I was asked if I could fill out some paperwork. I was told it would require math. Despite my absolute disinterest in math that has, since the fifth grade, caused me to learn next to nothing about numbers, I accepted. Unless someone's wearing a strange outfit or smelling faintly of car trunk, always always accept. Turns out the math was fractions, which, being a third grade skill, was one I could handle. So I did it, and I did it correctly. And after that, I didn't spend much time in the office. Almost every day I arrived at the studio to work on set. Most days, I would hang out with Margery and the directors and department heads in video village. Those days, my view would be something like this:
Margery called these weeks (and my time with one seasoned director in particular) "grad school in a box." I learned more in those three weeks than I could've imagined. I have pages and pages of notes and anecdotes and a book from an electrician on set and this incredible volume of information in my head. You have to listen and you have to observe. You simply have to if you want to get anything meaningful out of an internship (or anything). The ways I look at writing and leadership and teamwork have all been fundamentally changed. And that was just from my time at video village.
Soon, Margery loaned me out to departments—and THEN I got the real education. I learned what electricians think about scripts. I learned how to set up a bunch of grip equipment (and what to do when you drop it on a light that costs more than your rented wreck). Props taught me how to properly dress a night club. They also taught me how to clean up exploding sinks. The PAs helped me to be respectful and invisible, even when I have to tell a bunch of suits "Sorry, you can't leave this stairwell right now—they're filming outside." Waiting in a stairwell with fuming executives is kind of a blast. Set Dec took me all around seedy LA in the back of a moving van to collect one specific piece of furniture from one massive warehouse at a time. Grad school in a box and in a jar and on my head and in my hands and, occasionally, when the sink explodes, consuming me.
Every single day of these six weeks was full of experience and education more real than I think I can process. I have never felt so blessed or energized as I felt this summer—and it almost didn't happen at all. Don't give up. People always need people. Even when you're supposed to be invisible it's easy to see. And if you're exhausted at the end of the day, you get to drive home, have a drink, and watch a few more catch-up episodes of Brothers & Sisters, you know, in case you just want more. The ride home after standing upright and being at full attention all day and night long is a great, wonderful ride. The guys and girl guys in the army know what I'm talking about.
One especially late night I went into the garage and found my car dead. There was no getting AAA at that point—security had left for the night. So, I called a cab, and walked to the entrance. And once more, I waited. Even on your busiest days, when you're alone in a city thousands of miles away from your family or friends, there's a lot of time to wait. I made friends with the bartender at the hotel. I ate alone at Outback. I read by the pool while families came in and out. Starting a life is a lonely exploration. There's no right way to do it, even among so many wrong ways. But if you do, and you wait like there's something to wait for, then once or twice, when you're exhausted, when it's dark and your phone's dead and it starts to rain, you'll look over and realize that you're sitting in the mulch next to a giant ivy sculpture of Mickey Mouse. You're waiting, but now you're waiting outside Disney Studios, and you have no idea how you got there.
Not all days as an intern are that powerful. Most of the time your car works, and you just get this:
And that, were it not taken with my phone, would be a beautiful sunset.

|General Forced Induction The place to chat about turbochargers, superchargers nitrous systems and custom engine fabrications.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|think thats bad? pray that you never meet me in person because my mouth doesnt get carpal tunnel
|Maniac and ZXthrizzle you two are opposites when it comes to length of posts
|That's right, MUSIC!!!
|that's it
what is REQUIRED to turbo the focus.
turbo manifold
down pipe from turbo to flex pipe
piping from turbo to intercooler
piping from intercooler to intake manifold
waste gate
blow off valve
oil lines for the turbo
a tapped oil pan for oil lines
boost controller
wide band air/fuel ratio gauge and wideband o2 sensor. this MUST be wideband
bigger fuel injectors. for your application 42lb injectors should be more than enough but there is nothing wrong with going bigger than what you need since they can always be turned down but you cannot exceed the maximum of what an injector can flow
diablo mafia
good filter to put on the end of the turbo or on the turbo inlet pipe
a tune is a requirement. this is the answer to your first question. contact a tuner of your choice. there are several to choose from who can tune your car and do a good job of it. i recommend Tom from Focus-Power. you pay for the flash tool and pay for the tune ONCE and you have free tune updates for as long as you own the car. so if you decide to build the engine and trans for more power later on and turn up the boost he will re-tune your car for free. he is the ONLY tuner around that does that and he is VERY good at what he does. you can contact him on this website by sending him a private message if you want. his screen name is 1turbofocus or alternatively you can send him an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. the way this tuning process will work is he will send you a safe tune first by e-mail. you will connect the flash tool/programmer/xcal (whatever you want to call it. from this point forward it will be referred to as an xcal) to your computer and load the tune from the computer to the xcal. you then take the xcal and plug it into the obdII port in your car and follow the on screen instructions to load the tune into your car's ecu. you will then have tom help you set up your laptop for datalogging. this might take 15 minutes over the phone or he can literally take over your computer over the internet and set it up for you. you will plug in an analog input from the wideband air/fuel ratio gauge into the xcal. the xcal is plugged into your car, and the xcal is also plugged up to the laptop. you use the free datalogging software to record all the information that your car's ecu is putting out and save it. you drive the car while the laptop is recording, make a few wide open throttle pulls and then e-mail that file to tom. he reads the file, makes modifications to your tune and e-mails you a new tune. you upload the new tune to your car the same as you did before and repeat the datalogging and emailing process until tom is satisfied that the tune is perfect.
as for the transmission issue. your trans should be able to handle between 180-200whp MAYBE. alot of those seem to be hit and miss with how much juice they can take. your engine will be able to safely make around 250whp but since you dont have a manual trans you are going to have to limit yourself. without a tune to turn up the fluid pressure in the trans it wouldnt handle very much more over stock. tom will also be able to take care of this. with the xcal you can do alot of other stuff too. adjust what rpm you shift at when you have the throttle to the floor, what the rev limiter is set at, raise lower or completely remove the speed governor, check for engine codes and clear them, adjust what temp rad fans kick on, adjust the speedo for different size wheels, and lots of other stuff im bound to be forgetting.
i hope my book helps
Turbo installation questions
I'm getting ready to install a turbo charger in my 2001 ZX3 and i have a few concerns before i actually go through with it.
First, I'm concerned with the fact that my focus is an automatic and I'm wanting to know what all is required of the ECU and how to reprogram/flash it. can I just buy a chip off Ebay or what?
Second, I have seen threads on this site that have stated that a turbo will ruin an automatic transmission. I don't really know what to think about this because i don't plan on running more than 8 pounds of boost.
Basically, I just want to know what is REQUIRED other than the piping, manifold, downpipe, wastegate, etc.

Keene State architecture professor Bart Sapeta: 'I want to give back'
KEENE - As a professor of architecture at Keene State College, Bartlomiej "Bart" Sapeta was included in the annual American Institute of Architects Emerging Professionals Exhibit in Washington, D.C., last year.
The national recognition was rewarding, he said, but he finds watching his students achieve even more rewarding.
"The most satisfying is actually working with students and seeing how well they are doing years afterward. How well they are supporting their community," Sapeta said.
Sapeta, 39, was born in Wroclaw, the second-largest city in Poland.?He has a bachelor of architecture from Drury University in Missouri and a masters of architecture and engineering from Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland.
Sapeta came to the U.S. as a college student studying abroad for a few semesters out of a desire to learn English. He decided to immigrate because of the opportunities for those willing to work hard.
"There are tremendous opportunities for people that want to work hard and always be involved with the community and give back. That is my mantra, I want to give back," Sapeta said.
Americans don't just sit back and wait to be handed something, he said. "That's what the spirit of the country is. . You desire something, you just work hard and you go and get it."
Sapeta volunteers in community design charrettes run by Plan NH and helps mentor students participating in CANstruction competitions that serve as fundraising events for the Keene Community Kitchen.
Giving back to the community has been a major factor in his work, he said.
It gives you the opportunity to practice your craft as well as learn about the environment you are designing for, he said. "I really believe that as children we learn through experience and then we go to school and what happens is you lose that experiential aspect of learning and doing."
Sapeta said the more he understands about the environment here in New Hampshire, the better teacher he is.
Sapeta said the architecture program at Keene State College is the best-kept secret in the state. At the college he is working on an accreditation program for collaborations with design professionals that help students build connections to the local building industry.

Elisha Elliott led off the first inning with a single to shortstop and then stole second before advancing to third on a ground out. Amber Parrish drew a walk, and a double by Constance Orr advanced her to third and brought Elliott home to put the Tar Heels on the board. Kristen Brown drew a walk to load the bases, and then Kati Causey also drew a walk to advance the runners and force Parrish home. Jenna Kelly reached first on an error to drive in Orr and advance both Nece and Brown, and a third walk to Megan Morrison scored Brown to give UNC the 4-0 lead.
The second inning started off with a single up the middle by Erin Satterfield, who then advanced to third on a double to right center by Haleigh Dickey. Parrish walked, loading the bases for Orr, who also drew a walk to score Satterfield. Amy Nece was hit by a pitch, scoring Dickey, and a single by Kelly to left field brought in Parrish for a third run. Orr came home on a wild pitch that also advanced Kelly and Nece, and a single to short by Elliott drove in Nece to increase the Tar Heels' lead by five.
Appalachian State prevented a run-ruled game, scoring two runs in the fifth to also breakup the shutout. Caroline Rogers drew a walk before Pepper Butler singled to left field. Sarah Warnock's double to right center drove in both ASU runners to put the Mountaineers on the board with two runs.
Lori Spingola pitched five innings with no runs for the win, giving up just one hit and one walk while fanning five. Sara Buchholz recorded two strikeouts in one inning of work, giving up two hits, two runs and one walk, and Ashley Bone came in for the final inning, giving up two hits.
Carolina hosts James Madison on Wednesday for another pair of midweek games, playing a doubleheader at 4 and 6 p.m. UNC continues home ACC play this weekend at Anderson, facing Virginia for two games on Saturday at 1 and 3 p.m. and on Sunday at 1 p.m.
The full Virginia series will be shown live on ESPN3, and Sunday will be UNC Softball Camper Day at Anderson Stadium.

text: Services for Newtown victims and school resources Message from MTA President Paul Toner and Vice President Tim Sullivan: Many MTA members are asking what they can do to help. They are also asking for resources on school safety. We will continue to provide information and support in the days and weeks ahead. There is a lot of information on the Connecticut Education Association website. The NEA is also providing resources on school safety and other issues related to the tragedy in Newtown, Conn. Directly below is information from the CEA about a Mass on Wednesday, vigils, and a way to donate to support the Newtown families and community. Below the CEA information is a letter from the NEA president and executive director to members that I hope you will share with fellow educators. From the CEA website: This Wednesday (12/19) at 6 p.m., a Memorial Mass, "In Celebration and Appreciation of Teachers," will be held at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Waterbury, Conn. A list of vigils taking place around the state of Connecticut can be found here. The United Way of Western Connecticut, in partnership with Newtown Savings Bank, has created the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, which will provide support services to the families and community. You can donate online or mail check donations to: Sandy Hook School Support Fundc/o Newtown Savings Bank39 Main StreetNewtown CT 06470 Letter from NEA leaders to members of the NEA family. December 18, 2012 Dear NEA Family: As the pieces continue to come together following the unthinkable events that unfolded Friday morning in Newtown, Connecticut, we wanted to update you on NEA's efforts to provide support to the families and educators who were most deeply affected by the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. We are so grateful for the many calls, emails and offers to assist those in Newtown and calls for a more public campaign around the issues that contributed to this tragedy. The Association is already engaged in conversations with state and local leaders of both NEA and AFT on a formal response to the shooting, but we are also mindful of the heartbreaking task that lies before the 26 families who were affected by the tragedy. That is why we are first and foremost this week dedicated to giving each family the time, space and support they need to grieve their loved ones and take the first tentative steps toward healing. The time for public action will come, but first we must allow them time to grieve. In the meantime, NEA has already taken steps to support our colleagues and their community in Newtown. Immediately following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we reached out to AFT — the union that represents the school's employees — and offered our support in any way that we can for their members. We are grateful to the Connecticut Education Association, which is providing AFT with office space from which to help their members. Over the weekend, staff from NEA's Health Information Network crisis team traveled to Newtown to offer guidance and counsel on how to provide the resources and support for those who were most deeply affected. The team that responded was one of our most experienced teams of crisis counselors, having most recently supported our own members through the school shooting in Chardon, Ohio. This team will be on the ground immediately after the holidays to provide training, crisis counseling and support for AFT and NEA members in the region. CEA is also focused on providing essential services throughout the area and is funneling much-needed support for families as students prepare to re-enter the classroom in a nearby district. They are also this week anticipating the funerals of the educators and students who lost their lives. Victoria Soto will be the first educator to be memorialized. Her service will be held Wednesday. The New York Times, The Examiner, and the Hartford Courant each wrote about her heroism and the heroic acts of other Sandy Hook employees who placed themselves in the line of fire to protect their students. CEA provides more information on local efforts on its website at www.cea.org. NEA members, parents and the community will be able to send condolence messages to the Newtown community via an NEA webpage that will be available this week at www.nea.org/safeschools. The page also links to resources from the HIN Crisis Tool Kit and other content that will be helpful to educators, parents and others as they address the crisis with children. Today, as we do all that we can do to help their families heal, we will mourn the senseless deaths of Sandy Hook's children and the educators whose devotion to their students, and their profession, make us all very proud. Tomorrow, when the time is right, we will take action to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again. Sincerely, Dennis Van Roekel, President John Stocks, Executive Director Additional Resources for Educators and Families Statement from MTA President Paul Toner

"The invitations we ordered are wonderful! The quality of the paper is superior - Iwebelieve it will be a keepsake for many of our guests. We were extremely pleased with the color and quality of the picture we uploaded - and each invitation showed this unique quality. The printing, font, and colors are so professionally done - one would never know it was designed and submitted online. Also, it is important to point out how user friendly the website is and also how good the communication is following an order. We received an email advising of our order's review and even that our one special request had been completed. We will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future."
"I would recommend this card to a friend. Is was great picture,paper and delivered very quickly.. I was very satisfied with item.. I will continue to order for my next event.."
"I put my daughter's picture and all of the information in and it looked great on screen! Usually when it looks great on screen it doesn't turn out like that when it prints. I was so shocked at how nice the picture came out and the invitation as a whole. Will definitely order more from here!"
"This is a gorgeous birthday party invitation. I've received a number of compliments on it as I've been receiving RSVPs. The colors are bright and pretty, the design is modern and fun. I also like that it's a versatile design. My daughters are turning 9 and 7 so I was able to have their ages included on the little red and white signs on the two cupcakes on top of the red cake stand."
"Love this invitation! I was looking for a princess themed product for my daughter's third birthday party. Beautiful thick paper. I liked that this one had a good bit of room for my text. I bought the extra scalloped edges and love how it turned out. I have received several complements. Quick shipping."

Within weeks of Susan Powell's disappearance, West Valley City police got help in their investigation from the missing woman's sister-in-law, who secretly recorded the focus of their probe.
According to documents, Jennifer Graves questioned Josh Powell, her brother, about what he did the night his wife was last seen and asked, "Where did you put her?"
She also confronted their father, Steven Powell, that same night Jan. 18, 2010, six weeks after the disappearance about him allegedly having propositioned Susan Powell several years before.
Both conversations were recorded in what police dubbed "Operation Puyallup", named after the city in Washington state where Steven Powell and his son were living.
The attempt to get the two to self incriminate didn't work. Josh Powell refused to discuss the disappearance, citing advice from his attorney, court documents say, and Steven Powell called Graves a "bitch" before ordering her out of his house.
Graves, who lives in Utah, told The Tribune on Tuesday that she suggested to police she be wired because she wanted to help find out what had happened to Susan Powell.
"In that situation, you feel so powerless," Graves said Tuesday of the search for Susan Powell.
Graves said she "absolutely" believes that Josh Powell killed Susan Powell and that her father and another brother, Michael Powell, also were involved somehow, possibly after the fact.
"By the evidence, it looks like Michael helped him (Josh Powell) hide the body," she said.
Graves said she and Michael Powell had been close as children and it was devastating to learn of his possible involvement.
As for Steven Powell, Graves said, "I still think he had something to do with it, even though they don't have any hard evidence."
Susan Powell was last seen on Dec. 6, 2009, at her West Valley City home, which she shared with her husband, the only person of interest ever named in the case.
Josh Powell claimed he left his wife at home as he took his sons, Charlie and Braden, then ages 4 and 2, on a late-night winter camping trip in the West Desert of Utah. He denied having anything to do with the disappearance.
On Monday, West Valley City police closed the active investigation into the disappearance and released thousands of pages of document related to the case.
Graves went to her father's house in Washington with her husband after police obtained a court order allowing the recording. She doesn't think her father and brother suspected she was wearing a wire but couldn't be sure.
"I was very scared," she said. "I had no idea what they would do if they figured it out."
Court documents say Graves told her brother that she had heard rumors that he would be going to jail for a long time and suggested that he take a plea bargain. Josh Powell said he hadn't done anything but Graves continued to press him about his actions on the night his wife was last seen by anyone outside the family.
"I didn't have anything to do with it," Josh Powell said of the disappearance, according to records.
Graves said she has written a book about her perspective on the case and her nephews' deaths at the hands of their father. The self-published book, "A Light in Dark Places," is slated for release in June and will be sold through Amazon, she said.
She has mixed feelings about the active investigation being closed, saying she's a little disappointed but also ready to move forward.
"I know where she is," Graves said of Susan Powell. "She's up in heaven with Charlie and Braden."

I have heard that Baldor was sold to an over-seas outfit, Swiss I think, and would no longer be made in the USA, if indeed they have been in the recent past. Where the new owners will have them built and to what standards of quality I have to wonder. I guess nothing stays the same anymore but Baldor still seems to be the best motor available, we will just have to wait and see how long that remains true.
Just thinking out loud here and not saying all this is totally accurate, the only thing I know for sure is that Baldor has recently changed hands.
I was in Northern Tools today and looked at the big 7.5 HP compressors just for grins. One had a Baldar Motor and the other had a KMG motor. The Baldar said "Assembled in USA" and there was nothing on the KMG except for the logo cast into a cover plate. Both units said Industrial, both had the same specs and both had the same price. Both were good looking units :referencing the plumbing, wiring, shut off valves etc. They were about $300 more than the comparable IR they were selling 6 months ago (7,5 HP, same 80 gal tank and same specs). I would not steer away from either of these tanks if I were in the market for one.
You are correct that these are not the heavy industrial units that sell for a heck of a lot more money but they are indeed high quality outfits that are rated for full time shop use but aimed at a different market and yes they are very well built. I am quite familiar with the older Quincy pumps and I have some first hand experience with these units being sold by Northern and they are well worth their cost, IMHO I seriously doubt you can find another compressor of this quality at anywhere near the price of these Quincys.
Time will tell if they will last as long as the older ones but I can almost guarantee you will have to wait many years to find out!
Quincy Compressors
Quincy compressors seems to have a good reputation in general based I would assume on older units that have been in use for years. My question is, how long have the PLT and QT series been around as they are currently being manufactured? I see these for sale on several of the well known internet dealer sites at a really nice price; but this leads me to wonder if the Nothern Tool, Compressor Direct and other offerings are made to a lesser price point/degree than perhaps Quincy their undustrial units on whihc they made there reputation. Do they currently have a good track record with these series of products? I would appreciate your comments.

Cooper: The DA's office needs to be completely replaced
November 3, 2012
I am a victim of officials and DA's office lack of honesty and integrity.
Actions taken have ruined my life and taken my Civil Rights and more.
Far too much in 300 words involving breach of trust and the ignoring of duty.
I want to pass along to our community, it's time to clean house of our existing DA's office and bring in all new blood. With my unjust ordeal with the ex-coroner, officials and DA, the record of the DA's office also speaks for itself. Turner keeps this lack of integrity unknown and going.
I'm the exception to the rule that can never be broken by officials we must trust when needed the most. That trust was violated with cruel/evil action taken regarding death and duty ignored to investigate action taken by the coroner to falsify a death of one of our community members.
I suffer consequences of banding together to make it unknown and go away.
We all suffer when integrity and upholding our moral code is not found in every case.
This important election to bring honesty and integrity back to our broken system which refuses compliance with law, principles of due process and equal protection.
I urge our community a vote for Scott Turner is simply an extension of our outgoing DA Mark Hurlbert we soundly voted out. I will vote for Bruce Brown to ensure public trust and proper law is never again questionable. There can never be an exception to the rule no matter the case and that rule has been broken.
I am barely living proof of what happens when the rule is ignored and violated.
Go vote for responsibility, trust, honesty and integrity with Bruce Brown.
Jeff Cooper, Breckenridge

I had thought in the past that I had seen someone that had this painting as a wallpaper on their computer, can someone point me in the right direction to finding this image? I did a google search for hours trying to find it, and yes, I checked on Dave's website, and there is a small version of it, but I would like a larger version for my desktop (if they sell a poster of it for reasonable that would be great too!), Dave's a huge inspiration to Studio Fett.
Appreciate your help!

|Jay ,the reason your getting so many explainations of the cause is because so many mistakes were made.... just start over......At the very begining.....with a better brand of paint and you'll be fine....follow the directions on the can....The most common mistake that I see made is that most people want to spray the base wet like a SS paint...This will get you in trouble every time. it should have a dull sheen that dries quick ....Three to four thin coats ,never a thick one...
Giving you the clear doesn't mean CRAP about if the product had problems!
1. He gave it to you to get rid of you!
2. He gave it to you because that was the easiest way out!
3. He gave it to you because he DIDN'T know what went wrong!
4. He gave it to you because there was no teaching you how to actually fix the problem because you can't get it out of your head that it WAS the clear!

I've used that Trinity 45 paint before,that stuff is like some old moonshiner went legit and made paint instead of moonshine....
A freind had an old 88 ranger he wanted painted one summer,so he ordered their urethane single stage.
He helped me do all the body work on it,then used the Omni line grey Epoxy primer,everything went smooth up until i shot that paint on,it seemed to spray nice,but not near enough coverage with the mettalic midnight blue to even cover a little ranger totaly in full color.
So he was dissapointed and let the thing sit all winter before he decided he wanted to paint it again.
Even after my advice to just go to the local body shop supplier i deal with and at least get a cheap Omni line paint,he ordered the Trinity 45 B/C C/C..( yea he's a hard headed fella to say the least)
Soooo,we sanded,epoxy prime once again,all went well,,sprayed the base coat according the manufacturers specs(or should i say backyard still directions?)..
By the time i came around to the last part of the truck on the first coat,i looked at the other side and somethin funnay was happenin...the paint was bubblin up like a compatibility problem..wth????? i used Epoxy sealer primer brand new..........
So i called the Trinity 45 guy myself at the phone number he had on his eBay pages,,his wife answers,not a biz phone,his home number,she TRIED solving the problem but the only thing she could keep saying was"that stuff sure does lay out nice doesn't it?"..at this point i was gettin really P'd,so she got her husband to call me back later,he had no idea either since i did EXACTLY as they're so called "manufacturers" spread sheet said to do(a peice of flyer paper on the mix,reducer and flash times)
So long story short,the guy gave him his money back for the base coat,but went against my suggestion of gettin ALL his money back and send the clear coat back too,but noooo,the cheap bastid HAD to use the clear because of how cheap he was,at this point,i wanted to throw in the towel and tell him to get someone else to paint it...but being such a great guy and freind...i continued this nightmare...
So to help him save money he already lost out the yahooo,i went and bought some paint i needed for a Bronco i was painting and selling,,Omni line VW Regatta Mettalic blue,since i bought the gallon kit for 100.00 and it mixes 50/50 with the reducer,that would give me 2 gallons.plenty enough to do his ranger and my bronco.
Long story short again..it all went well after that,and to my surprises the Trinity clear coat sprayed ok and in the end came out pretty nice..BUT,,this is NOT the end of it,6 months later?,the clear coat was pealing off in spots everywhere...i will NEVER deal with that paint again..PERIOD.
It seems they thrive on getting a pretty descent paint on at the time,IF it was a good batch,and then the people give good feedback on the eBay pages,but in a short time,the paint is peeling like a snake sheddin it's skin and it's too late to give the right customer feedback needed for the product.
I am by NO WAY taking up for this guy's mistakes at ALL in this thread,it seems he made some heavy mistakes,but we all been there and done that,as was said,just learn and move one and take the loss.
I am by far considered a "pro painter"..but have good common sense and have sprayed countless vehicles with great success following directions and at least using a mid range product on MY jobs,will never use a bottom of the barrel product again any anybody's project,that's for sure...
Here's a pic of the ranger after the final results,it sprayed on pretty nice with my SATAjet2000,we dicided to buff it out,and seemed to cut well too,,but like i said,6 months down the road,it was worthless.....
I was TRYING to find pics of the urethane that had a bad reaction of some sort,if i find it,i'll post them too,i took pics to send to Trinity 45 of the problem,this was back in 2007,it's on disk SOMEWHERE here...
1. He gave it to you to get rid of you!
2. He gave it to you because that was the easiest way out!
3. He gave it to you because he DIDN'T know what went wrong!
4. He gave it to you because there was no teaching you how to actually fix the problem because you can't get it out of your head that it WAS the clear!
It was one or more of these reasons but it DID NOT mean that there was something wrong with the clear. BELIEVE ME, as a rep I gave away a lot of product as EVERY SINGLE rep does, and he does it for one or more of the above reasons.
I personally WANTED to find out what went wrong and TEACH the customer something so it didn't happen again. But some people, you just can't teach. I remember one who I was explaining what went wrong and he just couldn't grasp it. He said "What the hell are you saying"? I said "You F&%Ked up!" He said, "Ok, that I can understand".
But EVEN when I showed the painter how he created the problem I STILL gave them product. It is simple customer service to help the guy out.
So him giving you that clear means NOTHING as far as if the clear is good or bad. It is just "the thing to do" as with many other industries.
MANY painters can't accept that they did something wrong, even when you spell it out. Many can, they WANT to learn how to avoid that problem, I mean, do YOU want to have a complete paint job peel off agian? I wouldn't think so!
I always like to ask the question, do you think EVERY CAR ever painted with this product peeled off like that? No, if it did they would be out of business in a hurry. Nope, only SOME of them, why? Why only SOME of them? All the clear came from the same place! SOME of them failed because SOME of them were applied different.
You are getting a bunch of different responses because you are asking a thousand people! Of course you are getting all kinds of responses!
Ok, here, you are getting the SAME response from a bunch of profestional painters, one who used to be a rep as well AND a guy who owns a company who makes and sells clears! I am thinking you have a pretty darn good bunch to get info from here, and they ALL are telling you the same thing!
Chances of success are better with a good line, but lower cost lines can work just fine if you use them correctly. Many of the cheaper bases are enamel based, and besides being slower many don't have great coverage, so those added coats for coverage, very important to allow plenty of flash time. Now imagine spraying a dark color in an enamel based basecoat, lots of coats for coverage, and there is a high humidity level. You better leave a lot of flash time or your asking for trouble. Its not even a bad idea to allow the base to sit overnight and clear in the morning if you have the time. The bases I've used your still well within your window.
That said, I don't personally know any regular painter using trinity products, but I don't think you can really put the blame on the product with what has been admitted.
Don't rush, better to allow extra flash time when you have the time, just stay within product open windows. Using a high grade reducer is money well spent, and you must never use a lower grade reducer in a higher line base (ie omni reducer in deltron dbc). Not saying you did, but also would try to avoid ever using a fast reducer. Better to be on the slow side for conditions and allow added flash time then too fast.
We've all made our share of mistakes and will continue to, and anything to do with paint, its a pretty expensive learning experience. Admitting we did something wrong and learning from it though is how you advance. One reason even some painters will stick with one brand, because they used them enough to know them well and are most comfortable with. Even then you have to keep up on proper use, because its not uncommon for them to change something.
Time to start over, clean the living heck out of her, and try again going in with a little more knowledge on how to properly use the products this time before pulling the trigger.
OK, ***'s the problem?
I have acknowledged my screw ups. I have pointed out that every single expert I have talked to has told me something completely different when they try to explain what went wrong.
Some have blamed the FEE. Some have credited the AP to the clear coming off in sheets instead of flakes, but, have not blamed that for the adhesion problems. NOBODY that I have personally spoken to at any of the body shops that I've visited have seen this happen before.
I contacted the supplier, rather than question me about my methods, they offered an instant refund. To me, that means they acknowledge a potential flaw in their product. They made no attempts to defend their products.
IF I paint the truck again, I will seal the whole damn thing before applying any paint.
IF I paint the truck again, I will not use AP or FEE at all.
IF I paint the truck again, I will not buy bargain basement paints or clear coats.
You are acting as though I am claiming to be a professional painter. I never made that claim. Yes, I have painted before. Yes, I have won awards for my paint. I had not picked up a spray gun in 10 years.
I still question blaming the FEE because I have used it before without a problem. I question blaming the AP because I have used that before without a problem. I acknowledge that paint technologies have advanced since I last sprayed a vehicle.
I blame backyard chemistry and using too much of the additives. I also blame low quality paint and clear products. If you disagree with my assessment after my own investigations and discussions, so be it. I won't bother asking any more questions.
All they gotta do is get all the B/C with the FE in it off, and reshoot the damn thing the right way.
But, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that ain't gonna listen.
They got and easier way.
I guess You, BarryK and myself don't know nuttin.
|pay close attention............ you CAN NOT spray clear over fe . period . it was not the paints fault . you created this problem all by yourself by adding fe to the base . throw that useless crap in the trash where it belongs .
You are right, the cause has not conclusively been found. I'm a little disapointed that the Trinity rep didn't do any troubleshooting beyond asking me about flash times, but, the fact that they offered a refund tells me they knew their product had its problems.
Virtually everybody in this thread and in the treads on other boards, as well as the painters who have seen the truck and the clear in person, has given me a different explanation as to what went wrong.
Even after learning of the backyard chemistry, they still we waited too long between base and clear applications. That simply isn't true as we only took 20 minutes between layers. It's pretty difficult to break down a gun and clean it properly and get it reassembled in less time than that.
I'll make some visual upgrades to the truck over the next few months. Shave the tails, mold in the roll pan, etc. Strip the base off, seal it, and send it to a body shop for repainting next year.
I'm glad the refund, made you happy.
10-12 years ago I went into a shop with a jobber, we walked in and there were the painters, owner and a paint rep with a jobber, looking at two blew-up jobs.
The jobber i was with offered to come back and owner said no wait, so we stood back in corner and listened to the yelling and causing, the factory rep was greener then grass and had no idea what happened as 30 minutes went by, the rep says, I will give you a case of clear to take car of these jobs.
All was happy, rep leaves and the owner of the shop was thrill to death, I said well, the problem was not solved as no one brought up the real cause and any other car done this way will be coming back also, talk about a panic attack, when I explained the two things that could cause it, he could not leave a message for the jobber to come back, fast enough and could not get us out of there fast enough.
Glad your happy.
After playing phone tag with a rep from Trinity 1945 for a day, they emailed me and asked what went wrong. I told them that all the clear came off the truck in sheets. They only had two follow up questions for me.
1) How long did I wait between paint and clear?
2) Did I want a complementary gallon of clear or a refund? I requested a refund and within 20 minutes it had posted to my PayPal account.
They didn't bother with trouble shooting, but, hey, I got some of my money back.
As for claims that neither of us have ever painted before, those are dead wrong. However, I will admit it has been at least 10 years since my last paint job. I forgot a huge portion of what I once knew.
I was never a professional painter. I learned Auto Body in high school and did a lot of painting back then. I made a huge mistake in assuming that everything I remembered was correct. I've spent the last 10 years trying to learn a variety of other trades. I forgot some details from this one. Did you ever forget? It happened to me.
Shine, some people just HAVE TO mess with stuff thinking they know better. I had a shop that I used to service that would do this stuff all the time! ALL THE TIME! He added retarder AND accelerator in the same paint! He changed mixing ratios, he mixed brands, he did everything you could dream up. And he had CATASTROPHIC failures all the time! Paint that you could wipe off with a rag and thinner. I remember one where bird poop damaged the paint. I met with the customer and went and got a rag with thinner on it and did a test....ONE WIPE took it to the primer! I AM NOT KIDDING, TO THE PRIMER!
I had done a little product test on a junk part in this shop a week or so before and I took the shop owner over to it and told him to try the rub test on it (same exact product a SS urethane). It did't budge one one bit, NOTHING was on the rag. He didn't believe that this could even happen, he didn't think this paint was that good, geee, if you follow the tech sheet is amazing what you can learn!
So even painting every day, some people never learn.
And that is what this is all about Jaymez, step back and take a look at what is being said here. If you have any passion what so ever in this stuff, STOP, step back and start over on your knowledge of this stuff, dump everything you know and start from scratch and for goodness sakes FOLLOW THE TECH SHEET!

The Canisius College women's lacrosse team swept the players of the year awards at Thursday night's MAAC banquet. Junior attacker Tori Quinn was named MAAC Offensive Player of the Year for the second-consecutive season, senior midfielder Maria Kotas earned MAAC Midfielder of the Year and sophomore midfielder Ashley Bull was named MAAC Defensive Player of the Year.
The league's coaches vote on the awards and this marks the second-straight season in which Canisius has swept all-three categories.
Kotas currently ranks in the top-20 nationally of four statistical categories. The Lancaster, N.Y. native ranks second in caused turnovers per game (2.69), fifth in ground balls (3.44), 11th in points per game (4.38) and 20th in goals per game (2.94). She also ranks 27th in draw controls.
Quinn has amassed 65 points on the year, which currently ranks second on the Griffs. She has scored 42 goals and is tied for the team lead with 23 assists.
Bull was an All-MAAC First Team selection in 2012 as well and ranks second on the team with 60 draw controls and 34 ground balls, and third on the team with 18 caused turnovers.
In addition to Bull, Kotas and Quinn, senior defender Gabby Kotas was named to the All-MAAC First Team.
The Griffs also had three Second Team All-MAAC selections in sophomore attacker Taylor Giglio, junior midfielder Meghan Cuddy and sophomore defender Sami Franco.
Freshman midfielder Ashley Heisler also represented the Griffs on the MAAC All-Rookie Team.
In addition to the eight players who were honored for their on-field performance, Canisius had eight players honored for their work in the classroom as well on Thursday evening by the league.
Maria Kotas, juniors Ari Anderson, Casey Depauw, Tori Greco, Quinn and Natalie Wagaman, as well as sophomores Bull and Alexis Roskovich were named to the MAAC All-Academic Team.
In order to make the all-academic team, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better, be at least a sophomore in academic standing and have been at the institution for at least one-full year prior.
The Griffs will now look to add more accolades this season as they prepare for the MAAC Championships this weekend. Canisius has won the last three MAAC titles and earned the subsequent berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Canisius' quest for four-straight championships begins on Friday at 8 p.m. when the Griffs take on Fairfield at the Demske Sports Complex.

"Gorgeous print, excellent quality in the paper and presentation is simply beautiful. Highly recommend this card for your special occasion."
"Ordered this card as a surprise for my little neice, after an initial hiccup where the print was illegible, I contacted tiny prints. This was sorted out with prompt response and my neice absolutely loved the cards. It was my first order and I was really impressed by the excellent customer service provided. Thank you Brian.G. I would most definitely order again and recommend to all my friends."
"I placed a short-deadline order on-line and received my invitations just a few days later. They looked even better than the picture. Ordered the heavy stock but otherwise ordered the card just as shown on-line. Very high-end look and quality printing...very pleased!"
"I just got these in the mail and they were even prettier in person. I got the pearl shimmer paper and I have had nothing but compliments from everyone that got the invite in the mail. The only thing that I was upset about was how much more it cost to mail them because I picked the bigger size but they did warn me there might be a more postage needed. This wasn't something they had control over. Beautiful Card Definitely a MUST HAVE!!!"
"The card quality is excellent. I love the feminine, vintage look of this card. The design on the back finishes it very nicely. I requested help getting additional information on the card and received a very prompt and professional response. The proof was back to me within 24 hours. This is all why I am a repeat customer!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Ouch. Looks like you will be buying parts.
One more thing about ignition timing: You don't always need to run the vacuum advance. Mine is plugged, I don't even use it.
When you run a larger cam, they like more initial timing. If your mechanical curve is enough, then you are all set.
My distributor is set for 18 at idle, and around 36 max when I rev it up.
Vacuum advance is plugged.
|Found my problem i believe. The #8 exhaust valve lobe on the cam is gone. doesnt look like enough left to even open that valve. And the fun begins now. Thanks for the help though.
There is a 2:1 ratio between the cam and the crank rpm. Every other rotation the marks will line up at 6 and 12 and the other time at 12 and 12. The 2:1 ratio is from the difference in the diameters of the timing gears. The block doesn't care where to install the marks (6/12 or 12/12), as long as they line up.
BBC's like timing. 17 at idle is good. 38 -40 total mechanical is good. The problem is with your vacuum advance (too much advance). Get an adjustment vacuum advance canister from summit racing and set it to add only 10 degrees.
You can use ported vacuum or manifold vacuum on the vacuum advance. Ported vacuum doesn't have vacuum at idle. Or at least it shouldn't have vacuum at idle, but sometimes does if the throttle blades are open past the transfer slots at idle (which is a bad thing).
Ported vacuum is an emission device so I prefer to use manifold vacuum. So, 17 at idle mechanical, then 10 more from the vacuum advance will give you 27 at idle. And around 50 when you rev it up in park.
|That makes sense. I understood what said before, but was thinking that the cam would have to rotate another 180 again to get it back right. But, with the distributor turning half the crank revs, i was really confusing myself. Like i said, enjoy learning and doing hands on myself, but i have a tendency to over think everything I try to figure out on my own. I will adjust distributor 180 and post results. Thanks to u guys that replied. very helpful and appreciated. Thanks again.
Let me explain it again. Install the crank gear with the dot at 12PM, then install the cam gear with the dot at 6PM. Pay no attention to where any of the pistons are in their respective bores. Bring the dots together where a straight edge would run between the centerline of the crankshaft, up through the crankshaft dot, up through the camshaft dot and on through the centerline of the camshaft. When you have this part of the motor installed with chain and the dots lined up, rotate the crankshaft one complete turn clockwise so that the camshaft dot is at 12PM and the crankshaft dot is at 12PM. Now, the motor is ready to install the distributor and run the wiring because both valves are closed on #1 and #6 is on overlap.
BBC timing and idle problems
When you set the crank at 12:00 and the camshaft at 6:00 the #6 piston is firing. You can drop the distributor in and have the rotor pointing to the tower that #6 plug wire is in. You can also rotate the crank 1 revolution and drop the distributor in pointing to the tower that #1 plug wire is in. It is easier to just drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing to #6. Check your timing again, if it is off your balancer may have slipped. Here is an article to read to determine TDC if you suspect the balancer is off. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...op_dead_center
|when i brought up #1 TDC and adjusted the cam and sprocket so that it was at 6 and the crank was at 12, did i cause the timing to be off by not setting the cam and crank at 6 & 12 with the #6 TDC? I wouldnt think it would run at all if that was to happen.
|When you put the cam sprocket on the cam, as you are building the motor, you phase the dot on the cam sprocket at 6PM and the dot on the crank sprocket at 12PM. This sets up cylinder #6 to fire at TDC. After getting the whole mess buttoned up, you must turn the crankshaft one revolution clockwise. This puts the cam sprocket dot at 12pm and the crank sprocket dot at 12PM and sets up cylinder #1 to fire at TDC. I have no idea why the GM engineers set it up that way, but they did. Seems to me that they could just as easily punched the dot on the other side of the cam sprocket and had 6PM/12PM be TDC for #1 instead of #6.
BBC timing and idle problems
I'm having issues with timing and idle on BBC in my beat up blazer. I purchased a motor that was supposed to be rebuilt with less than 5000 miles on it and built to run strong. I plan to use as an operate daily with the occasional play time toy. You will have to bear with me as I am no master mechanic but like to learn and do the work myself. I bought from the second owner after rebuild. Here is what i know about it without tearing it down:
It is a 72-74 454 block with 65-66 396 heads. I ran the numbers and believe it said they were 97cc closed chamber heads. I could be wrong. It has a dual plane intake and Edelbrock carb. Has a "mild" cam is what i was told but no specs on it. It has stock damper on it. Seems to have slightly domed pistons. Accel billet dist w/ vac advance. MSD 6A ignition and accel 8.8mm performce wires. The plugs are NGK. Also has headers. When I first brought home and dropped in, the timing seamed way off. I tried to adjust to no good ending coming from it. Noticed the pullies didnt line quite right to find the damper bolt to be stripped and not on all the way. I retapped the hole and put on all the way. Did not seem quite right again, so i decided to check the timing on the chain and gears. I found that when #1 at TDC the crank gear was line correctly and the cam sprocket was 180 deg out. Havent heard of any reason why it would be that far out intentionally. Timing marks not even close. I spun the cam around and proceeded to turn motor slowly to make sure no valves hitting or stuck and appeared ok. I have since tried getting it right numerous times to nothing that seems to fall into place all at once. Got it to idle at 750 at 17deg. Total mechanical time was set at 37deg. when i hooked up the vac adv, the timing appears to jump off the chart on light. way past the 60deg guage at 3200rpm. Then it seems to have either early detonation or valve tapping or something on passenger side. not noticed until around 2500 rpm.
Any suggestions on things to try would be appreciated. Like i said, i am very green and ignorant to some of the things, but want to learn and get it right. Thanks in advance.
