PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (March 5, 2011) –The Rutgers men's lacrosse team (4-0) continued its impressive start to the 2011 season picking up an 11-1 road victory at St. Joseph's (0-3). The Scarlet Knights were led by Duncan Clancy (Princeton, N.J.), who tallied five points on two goals and three assists, and Chris Mattes (Westfield, N.J.) who got the offense going by winning 13 of 14 faceoffs.
After a defensive first 10 minutes of action, Rutgers struck first when Mike Diehl (Flemington, N.J.) found the back of the net to give RU the 1-0 lead. Just over a minute later the lead had ballooned to 3-0 behind a man up goal from Jack Matthews (Baltimore, Md.) and an even strength goal from Clancy.
St. Joseph's was able to get a goal back at the end of the first scoring with three seconds left on the clock but RU didn't let it affect them as they rallied off the only three goals in the second to take a 6-1 lead into the locker room. Kevin Hover (Belle Mead, N.J.) got the RU surge going when he took a beautiful pass from Clancy and beat the St. Joe's keeper. Scott Klimchak (Clark, N.J.) quickly followed the Hover goal with one of his own off of another nice feed from Clancy. Kory Kelly (Princeton, N.J.) closed out the first half scoring for RU when he took another pass from Clancy and fired a rocket past the Hawks' keeper.
The Scarlet Knights carried the momentum gained in the second into the third and quickly built their lead to 7-1 when Kelly scored his second of the game less than two minutes into the frame. Nick DePaolera (Kinnelon, N.J.) added another a minute and 50 seconds later to end the RU scoring in the third period.
In the fourth, RU got goals from Clancy, Nick Zerrillo (Brewerton, N.Y.) and Mike Stagnitta (Brewerton, N.Y.) to take close out the game with an 11-1 victory.
Joe Donnelly (Newton Square, Pa.)earned his fourth win of the season in net playing 40:14. He was spelled by Rudy Butler (Belle Mead, N.J.),who made four saves the rest of the way to keep RU's advantage at double digits.
The Scarlet Knights return to action next Saturday, March 12, when they travel to State College, Pa. for a 3 p.m. matchup with the Penn State Nittany Lions.

Hanrahan: Ready for a new challenge
Joel Hanrahan: Ready for a new challenge
Last week, our manager, Manny Acta, announced I was going to be the closer for now. It's a position that I want to be in. Unfortunately, since the decision was made, we just haven't had any save opportunities. It's been seven days, and I'm a little anxious.
I have pitched the final innings of some games, but I haven't felt the pressure of a save situation yet.
Just a short time ago, I was a starter. Since going to the bullpen, I've seen all aspects of being a reliever, except for closer. I've worked my way toward the back end. It's exciting to be where I am now. I'm looking forward to this opportunity.
This is really the first year I have worked in relief. Throughout my Minor League career, I was almost exclusively a starter. Last year, my first year in the big leagues, I started 11 of the 12 games I pitched in.
When I was starting, I threw a 90-95 mph fastball, a slider and a changeup. As a reliever, I've only used two pitches. I've stuck with my fastball and my slider. I still work on my changeup, but it hasn't been as sharp since going to the bullpen. So I really rely on mainly a fastball-slider combination.
I've always thrown the ball with good velocity, but it seems like my fastball has gained a few miles per hour since I moved to the bullpen. That's been helpful. A couple miles per hour can help you get out of trouble once in a while.
Another adjustment going to the bullpen is not knowing when I'm going to pitch but still knowing I'm going to pitch. As a starter, you have your routine. You know what you do and when you do it in each of the four days you're not pitching, including going over scouting reports.
As a reliever, you have to be ready every day. That's what I like. I can have an impact on every game. I think it is boring sitting around and waiting for your next start.
This past weekend, we were in Los Angeles, where Chad Cordero, our regular closer, is rehabbing from surgery. I went down to his house, we had dinner and I had the chance to talk to him about the role, and he gave me a few words of wisdom. He said to treat closing like it is just another relief appearance. He said I needed to have a short memory and just go from there.
One thing I know is that I like being a reliever. I see myself as a reliever for the rest of my career.
Joel Hanrahan, a 27-year-old right-hander who is originally from Des Moines, Iowa, has a 5-3 record, a 3.88 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings for the Nationals this year. Manager Manny Acta named him the team's new closer on July 22.


text: Atlanta, with a good coach, chose to rest their star for a good long stretch in the 2nd quarter. Our coach, a completely clueless one, never heard of the idea of leaving something in the tank for the 4th quarter. Would playing Mohammed more help? Nope. Not playing him at all would help though. Ditto for Flip Murray. Dyess? Quetionable of late. Which begs the question, who should play. Maxiell, absolutely, and he could play both forward positions. If Maxiell played 35 minutes in this game, that could have meant 10 more minutes of rest for Tay, 10 for Rip, with Delfino playing more shooting guard shooting guard, and Sheed also being rested by JMAX some. And Delfino could play a lot more. As could Blalock. We have no lack of quality players. Just a coach who can't help overplaying his starters. Not because he believes in wearing his starters out. Because he chokes, game after game, and forgets any plans he made before the game began.

i'm no wheel expert, but i don't think they are RSes. they look more like the bbs wheels that bmw put on 5 series cars with "M sport" upgrades. if that's the case, they aren't worth a whole heck of a lot. those other mods aren't the kinds of things that do much for resale.
i would LOVE to have a 6 speed 4 door candy white gti. if i found one with a real deal warranty for anything close to what i paid for my new passat, i would have done it. that car has a million red flags higher up on the list, but i'm going to go ahead and expose my prejudice: i would NEVER buy a car that had been bagged. i don't know if the science bears me out, but there, i said it.

This is based on one of my favorite mangas. I didn't know it would be getting an anime, so I was surprised when I noticed the first episode was available.
It's got a dark/dystopian feel to it. A lot of humanity has altered itself to survive in space. It's a mecha/space/military(kinda) series.
It's been a thousand years since the Gauna, a strange alien race with no known method of communication, destroyed the solar system. A portion of humanity managed to escape using enormous "seed ships" like the Sidonia, which have allowed them to maintain the population while drifting through space. Nagate Tanikaze is a young man who has been raised deep in the bowels of the ship. When he goes into training to pilot the huge robotic weapons known as Gardes, Nagate is entrusted with piloting the legendary unit known as Tsugumori. Nagate and his fellow pilots put their lives on the line against the Gauna, in the ultimate battle for the survival of humanity!

This panel forms the second in the suite of tapestries which make up the Federation Tapestry.
Ngak Ngak in Limmen Bight River Country
Ngak Ngak in Limmen Bight River Country is based on a painting by Northern Territory Aboriginal artist Ginger Riley Munduwalawala. It represents the Dreamtime and the land before European habitation, and reminds us that Aboriginal people have been associated with the land of Australia for over 40 000 years.
Artwork for Ngak Ngak in Limmen Bight River Country
Riley was born around 1937 in south-eastern Arnhem Land. He grew up in the bush and intermittently went to school at the Roper River Mission, now called the Ngukurr Aboriginal Community. Riley worked as a stockman and labourer from the 1950s to the late 1970s when he moved back to Ngukurr. Around 1987 he began to paint, and quickly established the pictorial style of landscape painting which has since earnt him important recognition both in Australia and overseas. In 1997 he was awarded a major retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. He died in September 2002. Riley's painting depicts his vision of his 'mother's country', using an interconnected series of icons which include the white sea eagle Ngak Ngak, the dual serpent-creator Garimala, the shark's liver tree, the Four Arches and the beautiful Limmen Bight River.
Before work commenced on this panel, the weavers completed a number of samples. These samples allowed the weavers to experiment with borders and establish a suitable warp setting which would allow for subtlety of detail and colour in the work.
Samples for Ngak Ngak in Limmen Bight River Country
Samples against the Museum's wall
The samples were examined against the dark grey concrete Museum wall where the tapestry now hangs so the weavers could determine the intensity of the colour required to maintain the vitality of the design.

Hi Stevo - Ngak Ngak is the name for the White-Breasted Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster).
Hi Simon, I just completed a web search and found that Ngak Ngak, or the white breasted sea eagle, appears in many of Ginger Riley's paintings because he believed it acted as a lookout watching over his mother country.
Hello Nathan and Dane,
As the above information sheet states, Ginger Riley passed away in 2002, the sheet also states where he was born and where he lived.
Hi Frank, check out the links at the top of the page and you will find out lots of information about the tapestry and when and how it was made.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
I also have the problem

Editor's Note: Whether you're a tourist or an office worker in downtown Chicago, you can get sick of eating at chain restaurants all day. So we've started a series to get you the lowdown on where to find a great and affordable lunch.
I've always been a little shy about going to a restaurant that's tucked inside a random office building. There's a lot of places like that in the Loop, so it's hard to avoid doing that now and then. It feels slightly weird to me knowing I'm surrounded by busy bees buzzing away in their cubicles, while I'm just there to grab a sandwich. It's like I'm invading someone else's home turf.
Now that we have that quirky little bit set aside, Ceres Cafe is just one of those places. It's located on the ground floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, and it's mostly known for their extremely strong after-work drinks (for example, if you ask for a whiskey and coke, they'll pour you an entire glass of whiskey and give you a can of coke on the side). But they've got an enormous diner-style menu too, in case you're not going for a three-Martini lunch.
I was most excited for the Jackson Boulevard ($9.85), a huge-ass sandwich on the Classics section of the menu, which is an open-face turkey, ham, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, and red onion, served with an enormous soup bowl's worth of Thousand Island dressing on the side. Go big or go home, right? Sadly, the thick-cut turkey is mouth puckeringly dry, no matter how much dressing you pour over it. And as a whole, it just somehow suffers from a lack of soul—it's just a bunch of deli meat piled onto bread.
Surprisingly enough, the grilled chicken breast sandwich (9.35) is a pretty well executed version. I know it sounds boring, but the chicken has a strong char on it that reminds me of a summer grill-out, which is a welcome image to have in the middle of winter. Plus, it's pretty juicy.
The grilled tilapia tacos ($9.15) live in yet another section of the menu, and are actually decent—if you're not expecting an authentic Chicago Tacos experience. The main issue is that the fish gets lost completely in the lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. Tilapia isn't a strongly flavored fish to begin with, so each bite tastes mostly like the garden on top.
The corned beef sandwich ($8.15) is of the thickly sliced variety, which is nice to see now and then. It's also an enormous sandwich, but the tender corned beef is dry, which is a common pitfall of corned beef in general.
One of the tricky parts about being a food writer is trying to take photos of your food with a giant camera without being too annoying. Our waitress, who was a cheerful older Irish woman, watched me with some curiosity as I snapped photos. "Aren't you going to eat any of your food, honey?" she asked. I just smiled at her, since I was busy snapping away. A coworker whispered to her, "He's a food writer."
She said, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone." Then she pinched my cheeks. I'm almost 32, and I got my cheeks pinched. At lunch. By a complete stranger. My coworkers had a real field day with that one.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Any guitar players aboard?
Hello all,
I just joined this site because my wife and I and looking soon to retire from a state job, sell out stuff, and buy a sailboat for cash so we can engage in the live-aboard cruising lifestyle.
Since I have been playing professionally as a musician for 35 years and my day job includes providing music in a healthcare setting (Music Therapy), I am contemplating doing a solo acoustic/singing act while cruising to help bring in extra spending cash. I just played a steak house few days ago for $50 + $35 tips for a 2 1/2 hour gig.
I have been looking into the humidity problem in a marine environment and figured a good watertight case like those made by SKB and a dehumidifiers like those used in food prepping might help. Also, I use the Elixer strings which are coated and slow down oxidation. I tend to play enough hours anyway that I would probably need to change them before any affects of humidity set in.
Also, I will have to do more research but it seems to me string instruments do better in higher humidities that the dryer climates. The most famous Stradivarius were built in Northern Italy with very humid summers.
Any of you folks know of anyone picking up gigs around the marina areas around the US and down into the Caribbean. I figured even playing for tips would lots of fun and a great way meet people. Do they just play sea/sailing songs and Jimmy Buffet songs? I am more into performing the Jerry Jeff Walker, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits singing/sonwriter tunes.
Anyway, thanks. I figured just posting this first post is one of my first steps in making the dream happen.
I bought a Fender Catalina in a pawn shop while in Oregon last winter and brought it back to our boat in Louisiana. I don't know how to play yet but want to learn. I think it would be so cool to play guitar on the boat. I opened the hard case the other day and plucked on it and it seemed great! It does take up a ton of room though. I have steel strings and a fellow musician cruiser told me to oil them up with butter- My husband said to use vaseline so as not to attract bugs. Does anyone have problems with their steel strings rusting? I am surprised this really hasn't been brought up so it must not be as big a problem as I thought.
I am so glad to have found others with guitars and similar questions. Now if I could just get one of ya to teach me how to use the thing! I would LOVE to learn sea shanties.
My thoughts about good guitars in humid environments are that short term hi humidity is not the problem, its long periods of very high humidity (above 60%) and then a change to low ( <35% ). I keep my Collings guitar in a Calton hardcase with a dehumidifier in the string compartment of case. You can buy these dehumidifiers at gun shops or Brownells online. They are the size of cigarette pack, you recharge them so to speak by putting them in an oven at 300 degrees F. for 3 hours. They keep my guitar at 45-55 % humidity in the case for 3 or 4 weeks even when humidity outside is much higher. The key is an airtight case like the Calton, or if using a lesser case, get a case cover.
I think exposure to direct sunlight ( hi temperature ) is much more concern than short term exposure to hi humidity. I do agree that a cheap used guitar is the safe way to go. I like 80s-90s Washburns, all solid wood, find em on ebone or Craiglist for couple hundred or so for a D-35.
I haven't read through all the posts so I may be repeating what somebody else has already said, sorry.
I had a terrible time keeping an old Yamaha in tune but I was hauling to and from the boat (don't like to keep too much stuff on board, it tends to grow). Got tired of ever tuning so I started leaving it and once it acclimated to the humidity it was fine. Of course, the boat is on the west coast and humidity isn't as high as say, the SE. You should be fine leaving an instrument aboard in CO.
As for feeling sluggish on board. Moving around on moving boats will make you hurt in places you didn't even know you had at first but you too will acclimatize to being on board. I used to sail with a guy who was in his middle ages, was way bigger around than he was tall but could move around on an Olson 30 like a monkey. He spent every weekend sailing and put us younger guys to shame.
I wish you luck with your fitness program.
How about a harp?
Let me assure you, if you think a guitar is hard to keep in tune aboard...
Whenever I take off on an extended solo cruise, I bring a little folk harp I built from a kit. The kit was relatively cheap, yet once completed it had a better feel and sound than many higher-end production units (I like woody rather than tinny harps.) Even the little folk harp is too big aboard my little boat unless I'm soloing, though.
This particular design uses ply for sounding, and heavy solid cherry for the box, neck, and column. While the humidity is unlikely to directly harm the instrument, for the first week or so aboard it is plainly cantankerous to keep in any sense of tune. Tuning sessions take up a half hour, at least, almost as bad as when I'm stretching in a new suit of strings.
Fortunately for everyone in the anchorages I drop into I'm both a poor player and (I hope) a considerate one; I practice below, and not at all if anyone is hooked close by.
sailor's instrument
apologies for wandering a bit off topic. I used to be a guitar player until an industrial accident took the tip of a finger that is essential to playing. But music was in my blood, we had a small sailboat, space was a premium. The wife says why not a concertina? I said what's that? She said the instrument tall ship sailors played. So off we go to the music store and darn, if they didn't have a cheapie.
So been playin' that little squeeze box that only movie/cartoon sailors play for 30 years now. Not the cheapie, it didn't last 6 months.
I used to play lots of Shanties, one time we were sailing on SF Bay when a whale boat & crew raced along past us. I switched to a rowing tune for them.
(OK, five posts down, 5 to go )
San Rafael, CA
I'm a big fan of sitting around the cockpit and playing music with friends. Some of my favorite cruises have revolved around music.
As for the effects of a water environment on guitars (and I think this echoes what some others have said), a friend of mine used to bring his Martin D-35 with him all the time on board for weekends and extended cruises on his boat. That guitar now has a split on the side. I have a Martin HD-28, and because of his experience, I refrain from bringing it sailing (or anywhere like that even). I either bring my Backpacker, or if I want a full-size, a old Alvarez or Washburn, neither of which I worry about (both are veneer, not solid).
Anyway, have fun playing on the water!
I play classical guitar and I live aboard. It is less humid than i thought it would be in my boat. But to be sure that I do not jeopordize an expensive instrument, I use my Yamaha CG-101 all wood laminate (ply) guitar. I've had no issues with it or my other solid top spruce that I had on board for 4 months during the hot and humid summer months.
Humid environments have far less damaging side-effects than the dry environments do.
My suggestion to you would be to go out and buy a nice quality low end guitar like the Yamaha for camping/boating. Both outings could involve things getting wet and thus make bringing expensive instruments not the best idea.
Guitars on board is awesome. A friend of ours brought one along in a hard case during the commissioning trip and in other circumstances my wife brings her "Resonata" beater guitar (which I think was made in the GDR). It wasn't left on board for long periods of time, but we noticed another problem: it takes up about as much space as another passenger, though it does eat less.
The OP didn't say what the size of her boat was, but she did refer to it as "small"; ours is a 27'. With a guitar and all the sail bags and back packs, it was an interesting challenge to sleep four people on our boat (especially if you insist on having access to the head at night).
Challenging but worth the effort.

The 2012 MLS season -- Thierry Henry's third with the New York Red Bulls -- is underway. To help welcome Henry back to America, the NYC Arsenal Supporters are working with the Red Bulls to hold a special event honoring the Arsenal legend. And you can join them.
At 4 pm ET on Sunday, March 25th the Red Bulls play their home opener against Colorado Rapids -- Arsenal's partner club in MLS. Following the match, Arsenal fans who purchased tickets through the NYC Arsenal Supporters will have the opportunity to enjoy an exclusive Q&A with Henry, who will also stick around to sign some autographs.
The NYC Arsenal Supporters organized a similar event in September 2010. About 450 Arsenal supporters witnessed Henry scoring the opening goal in a 3-1 win. But according to NYC Arsenal Supporters president Kurtis Powers, the best moments of the day came after the match. "Henry came out and bowed to us," he says. "And later when a fan screamed out 'What do you think of Tottenham?' Henry replied 'I think you already know the answer to that.'"
Powers has grander ambitions for this year's event. "I hope that this event is bigger and better than last time," he says. "We're hoping to sell 1,000 tickets, and we're already about halfway there."
"I hope Thierry really feels the support that he has back here in the U.S., and really feels our appreciation for what he did at Arsenal. I hope that he is so moved that even more fans have access to this kind of special event."
To attend the post-match event you MUST buy tickets through the NYC Arsenal Supporters website. There are two ticket options. The first option gets you a ticket to the game and the event after. The second option gets you the ticket and roundtrip bus transportation -- including refreshments on the bus -- to and from the group's home pub, The Blind Pig in New York City. All tickets will be emailed to you.
If you choose the former, Powers says many locals will still be traveling to the match together. "A number of us will march to the PATH train and sing the whole way there."
It's sure to be a truly unforgettable way to experience Arsenal - New York style.

Playing at a Theater near you Suit Power by LibertyPak
Disney came to LibertyPak to get super power to light up their light suits for the 3D Sci-Fi feature TRON LEGACY. Hi powered cells were arranged in the circle on the back for real time brightness.
LibertyPak products were the perfect solution for our power needs at the Verdugo Mountains 10K. Our start and finish line areas are in remote locations with no power source. In the past, we've used gas powered generators which made it sound like someone was mowing the lawn.
Using the Big Genny at the start and Little Genny at the finish line, we were able to run our PA systems and play music for as long as we needed. In fact, we had so much power left over in the Big Genny, we used it to power the PA at our awards ceremony, even though there was an AC outlet nearby.
LibertyPak is definitely the way to go if you want clean , quiet power in a remote location!

Race Director
Verdugo Mountains 10K
"We did a full run test for one our customers. The 800 belt ran the 400 HMI for over an hour and 10 minutes - they almost didn't believe it!"
- Tech at PS Services, Canada
"Out of all the belts we have (for lighting) the LibertyPaks always come through, with the least trouble." - PRG LA
"Everybody really likes these belts. There's nothing like them."
- Tech at Otto Nemenz
"We were in the middle of nowhere - in Turkey - running the laptops and keeping the packs charged. We shot for 2 weeks. The Little Genny worked like a charm." - Digitech for Sports Illustrated shoot
"We put the battery on at 10:30 (am) and wrapped at 10. Never had to change it. It was the only battery we used all day. We were shooting high speeds with a 435." - AC on music video using one LB400
"These Belts are incredible. We are chasing tanks thru the desert, got oil and dust, smoke, and there is no time to change batteries - and with these we never have to worry." - AC on Jarhead
"With four of these (LB 800 light belts) I can run all day - one belt can burn the Arri 400 for 1 hour 5 minutes, or we can run 2 of the 200's at the same time off the same belt which is great for car stuff. This really has my attention!" - Dwight Campbell, Gaffer
"The Baby Genny's performed incredibly well. They were much more reliable than the on-board Arri batteries, which often lose their battery life within a few hours. Many, many thanks." - Jesse Kreitzer, Emmy® award-winning writer, director and producer and the founder of Lanterna Film.

text: I don't know. If the other starters were getting their min reduced as Curry is doing, it would be no big deal, but if not then it's unlikely. I think Ben is able to put the ego aside on another team, but never would be able to as a Piston; just because of the persona he's established here. (Or maybe he's able to on the Cavs b/c the experience in CHI was so awful that he doesn't care anymore about a specific # of minutes anymore). If Ben stayed, it would be painful watch Ben decline in DET for us and i think for him as well. To other teams he's not really "Big Ben", he's just another player on their team.

Day one is now nearly over. I was there wearing my blogger beads.
It has been a fun day meeting up with lots of Genie friends, listening to presentations and roaming the exhibition hall and buying some goodies.
First off was the official welcome and then Collen Fitzpatrick began her first presentation on the "Unknown Child from the Titanic". Colleen is a good speaker and she had an excellent mix of history, DNA and genealogy investigation in her presentation. DNA is one of those areas that is constantly evolving and they are developing better and more involved techniques. Not only in the actual testing but also in the initial extraction of DNA particularly in these cases where it is a historical case where you can expect to have degraded DNA.
Colleen also has photo quizzes available on her website. I'd recommend visiting her website for the extra information available.
Then off to morning tea and a perusal of the exhibitors. Trove was showing some of the proposed changes to their website and gaining customer feedback. The changes look very good.
I went to Kath Ensor's presentation on "Unlocking Ancestors' Stories from the Mental Asylums". I enjoyed this presentation as it showed the social history side of records and this is important as without the history and conditions it is just names and dates. This was followed by a lunch break with more exhibitor perusal.
After lunch, Daniel Horowitz from My Heritage was the next presenter on "How we Share and Preserve Memories in a Digital Age". This presentation was quite interesting and well done in the first half and then became more of an infomercial for My Heritage which while interesting would have been better as the last small section of the presentation.
I stayed in the main lecture hall for Dr Chris Watts talk on "Researching a British Merchant Seaman" Chris knows his topic well and has written a detailed book on this subject. He concentrated on the pre-1858 records. Life has become a lot easier int his time period for researchers as FindMyPast has added quite a number of Merchant Seaman records on their website. Post this time period crew list records are held in a variety of places including UK county records offices, UK Maritime Museum as well as Newfoundland. This was because the UK Archives did not have the space to accept all the thousands and thousands of boxes of crew lists.
Then afternoon tea followed by a presentation by David Holman on "Using British Medals to Help Fill Out Your Tree". Again an interesting presentation by someone who was very familiar with his topic. David gave a good description of the various medals and when they were issued and the changes that occurred. He also gave information on where we could find further information about the reasons why a medal was awarded.
Then Day one was over officially.
However tonight was the Genealogist for Families get-together. We met up at a local hotel where we had dinner and spoke about the conference, the people to whom we had made micro-loans and the variety of purposes for which people had requested loans.
So far there have been 423 loans by 160 members have lent $11,325. Each of these loans makes a ongoing difference to a family and from them to a community which makes a positive difference.
Thanks to Judy Webster who started Genealogists for Families in recognition of her father's long term helping of others and also to Kerry Farmer who organised tonight's gathering. A great time was had by all.

Seems as if Google's Street View doesn't want any liability actions. Not from a wooden statue at least.
Old Man Rosenbom hails from the Swedish town of Karlskrona. His image was captured when Street View filmed the streets and squares of Sweden. His image has been blurred in order to "preserve his integrity" a regular service Google provides for the human faces caught on film.
Smart technologies are still not smart enough yet. Not to discern between reality and art.
I wonder which other street images are blurred.

Celebrating the achievements of some of Hollywood's great talents, stars flocked to the 29th Santa Barbara International Film Festival Virtuosos Awards last night (February 4).
She's more than proven her dance floor dominance, and Karina Smirnoff was in the house to help ladies get in shape as part of JCPenney's New Year, New You Fitness campaign at the SoHo showroom.
The "Dancing with the Stars" dame looked amazing in a variety of new outfits from the popular department store's Xersion and CityStreet Activewear lines as she treated guests to fitness dance classes.
She's always up to something fun, and on Tuesday night (December 31) Karina Smirnoff rang in 2014 at the Pop The Cork Party in Tampa, Florida.
The "Dancing With The Stars" hottie played hostess for the shindig, held at the Seminole Hard Rock Resort and Casino Tampa, and it's not surprising that the whole event was sold out.
She score a huge win as the first African American woman to ever take top honors on "Dancing with the Stars" and Amber Riley was thrilled to talk about her victory on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday (November 27).
After nine weeks of intense competition, the finalists have been announced for "Dancing with the Stars: All Stars."
On Tuesday night's (November 20) episode, two more couples were shockingly eliminated which left three final dancing duos to vie for the mirror ball trophy.
Kicking off the semi-finals with a bang, the remaining five couples on "Dancing with the Stars: All Stars" performed two new dances in one night.
On Monday's (November 19) episode, the dancing duos first had to mix unusual themes and styles together for a unique act, before later performing a more traditional ballroom number while paying tribute to Michael Jackson's hit album, Bad.
Showing off their dancing physiques, Cheryl Burke, Derek Hough, and Karina Smirnoff attended the Asahi Summer Takeover in Las Vegas Nevada on Saturday (August 25).
Miss Smirnoff wore a bright blue jumper with open toed wedges while Miss Burke chose a white off-the-shoulder dress with heeled sandals.
Bringing their new work to Tinseltown, the stars of "Lawless" hit the red carpet at ArcLight Cinemas on Wednesday night (August 22) for their film's big west coast premiere.


text: Carrying on from the JTS thread. BTW, besides Christopher Bowman & Shannen Doherty, Todd Bridges also made a cameo appearance on LHOTP as Solomon. By far my favorite LHOTP character was Nellie Olesen (AA is pretty kick ass in real life, so I'm sure that had something to do with it). Who's your favorite LHOTP character?

What do you need to do your job? List them.
I need:
-a computer
-an internet connection
-a chair
-the ability to type quickly
-the ability to speak aloud
-a fully present mind (which seems to be missing today).
The list above is indicative of a lot of privileges - for instance, in most but not all situations, I'm able to choose the environment in which I work, and my education has afforded me the ability to do intellectual work. The assumption that I have a right to my privacy and my body always has and always will continue to function because of cis privilege and able-bodied privilege. If you're a cis person who is not in the sex industry, you and those in your working environment probably don't regard disclosure of the appearance and functioning of your genitals as a part of the list above.
Deprived of cis privilege, Kate Lynn Blatt was not eligible for such basic rights as privacy, dignity, and respect when she sought a job through the (apparently phallocentric in name and practice) Manpower employment agency.
When Blatt, who had previously found work through the company and had been fired for poor health, sought another job through the agency, she was told that her employment was dependent on more than just a W-2 or a piss test. Branch manager Irene Kudziela required a picture of her genitals and a letter from her surgeon recounting her private medical history before employment so that they could figure out what bathroom she needed to use.
This is just one of countless examples of how trans people are dehumanized wherever they go and whatever they try to do. Blatt's genitals are no more an issue in her work than they are in mine. She's assumed to be unable to navigate the business of changing her clothes and evacuating - to be unable to know what bathroom to use, like a child. A cis woman who is in a position of authority over her thinks that she has the right to know what Blatt's organs look like because of the constant dehumanization and othering of trans people perpetuated by cis supremacy.
Asking anyone for a picture of their genitals in any hiring situation is fucked up. Full stop. If Blatt were cis, it'd be fucked up. If she were a man, it's be fucked up. The fact that she is trans does not give anyone the right to inspect her genitals and verify her authenticity as a "real woman".
Blatt fought back, as she shouldn't have to do, as trans men and trans women are forced to do just to exist in the world:
Blatt, 28, told the Philadelphia Gay News that she found the request "disgusting," refused to comply, and promptly filed a bias complaint with the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission, saying she was dismissed wrongfully due to her gender identity and her disability -- she identified her disability as sexual dysphoria."I was trying to work there in a dignified and private manner, but my dignity and privacy were constantly being violated," she said.
Manpower's treatment of Blatt is utterly inexcusable. It's voyeurism, it's sexual harrassment, it's othering, it's stigmatizing, it's dehumanizing. It's transmisogynistic. It's fucking wrong in a million ways I can't even see or percieve because of my cis privilege (feel free to point them out).
Are you pissed? Good. Contact Manpower here and channel that anger.

UAB commitment Fred Rich earned MVP honors for the Rattlers after he ran for 79 yards on 13 carries with two touchdowns. He also added six tackles and an interception on defense as they held Washington County to just 215 yards of total offense.
"I don't know how I feel right now," Rich said. "I'm a little surprised. This is a straight blessing. Winning it feels so good. Last year I was about to cry after we lost and we turned it all the way around."
Rich was the MVP, but sophomore quarterback Jonathan Fletcher did his part for Tanner in the win as well with a five-yard touchdown run and 41 yards on five carries. He also added an interception that he returned 44 yards for the final touchdown of the game that put the game out of reach.
Tanner didn't take long to get the scoring started on Friday as they drove from the 30 to the Washington County in just three plays before Rich broke loose for his first touchdown of the game. Late in the first half Washington County answered back to a four-yard run by T.J. Kidd to make it 7-7 at the half.
Fletcher put the Rattlers up once again with a five-yard scramble early in the third quarter before Rich struck again. Taking over the ball at its own seven, Tanner took over the game on the ground as Rich and Heyden Stephens carried the ball eight straight times to move the ball into Washington County territory before Fletcher scampered 15 yards to put the ball into scoring position. Rich finished off the 12-play drive with a four-year touchdown to make it 21-7.
Also playing defense, Fletcher put the finishing touches on the game with an interception return for a touchdown with just over three minutes left that gave the Rattlers a three touchdown lead. Washington County tacked on a late touchdown, but it was too late as Tanner raised the state championship trophy for the first time.

In this podcast, I talk with Irwin Sherman, professor emeritus at the University of California at Riverside, about the century-long quest for a vaccine against malaria.
Scientists have been trying to make a vaccine for the disease almost since the discovery of the parasite that causes malaria. Yet decade after decade, they've encountered setbacks and failures. We talked about why it's so hard to make a malaria vaccine, and how likely it is that scientists will ever be able to do so in the future.
If you want to find out more about this long-running saga, check out Sherman's new book, The Elusive Malaria Vaccine: Miracle or Mirage.
About the Book:Chronicling a 100-year quest, this book tells the fascinating story of the hunt for the still-elusive malaria vaccine. Its clear, engaging style makes the book accessible to a general audience and brings to life all the drama of the hunt, celebrating the triumphs and documenting the failures. The author captures the controversies, missteps, wars of words, stolen ideas, and clashes of ego as researchers around the world compete to develop the first successful malaria vaccine.
The Elusive Malaria Vaccine: Miracle or Mirage? is based on author Irwin W. Sherman's thorough investigation of the scientific literature as well as his first-hand interviews with today's pioneers in malaria vaccine research. As a result, the book offers remarkable insights into the keys to a successful malaria vaccine and the obstacles hindering its development.
Malaria is one of humankind's greatest killers, currently afflicting some 300 to 500 million people. Moreover, malaria infections have begun to spread and surge in places previously free from the disease. With the book's easy-to-follow coverage of such topics as immunity, immunology, recombinant DNA, and monoclonal antibodies, readers gain a new understanding of the disease itself, the importance of microbe hunters, and the need for responsible leadership to face the challenges that lie ahead in the battle against malaria.

Arsène Wenger believes Sunderland got it wrong when they sacked Steve Bruce on Wednesday.
Bruce left the Stadium of Light after two-and-a-half years in charge of the North-East outfit following the Black Cats' poor start to the season.
But Wenger believes Sunderland acted too hastily and reiterated that change does not always bring improvement.
"I think it is a mistake because the one to question at Sunderland is certainly not Steve Bruce," he told Arsenal Player.
"He has competence, the desire to win and he is the last one I would question on that.
"Unfortunately he went through a bad run and paid the price. I'm pretty sure that he should not have done.
"Change does not always sort out problems," Wenger added. "History shows that it is not successful. It is statistically proven that a change of manager is not always successful.
"A club that creates its own instability is always in trouble - it is linked with technical stability, change of players, financially being in the red.
"All that together is linked with a change of manager."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player.

cleverett wrote:Many years ago I worked in an office that had a candy dish on the receptionist's desk. The dish was emptied several times a day by the employees, at which point it would be refilled with a random selection from many types of candy. One day I grabbed a handful of Skittles and dropped them into my shirt pocket, then went on about my day. Every few minutes I'd toss a Skittle into my mouth without thinking much about it. Eventually I hit one that was so foul that I almost spit it out in front of my coworkers. Turns out it was a stray M&M that was left in the dish from earlier in the day, and it was stealthily hiding amongst the Skittles. I actually like M&M's, but when you're expecting a Skittle and you get chocolate, it's revolting. (The totally wrong texture didn't help, either...instead of a waxy, hard-to-chew substance, the M&M cracked like an egg and flooded my mouth with creamy chocolate.)
Which brings me to my point: When you think you're putting one thing into your mouth and you get something else, it's a huge shock. You don't know what it is that you just ate, because your brain is focused on tasting one thing and then it gets something else. Yuck! And the more times you've expected chocolate and gotten raisins, the larger the aversion you would have to raisins. No wonder these people are protesting for raisins to be outlawed!
However, I do have to wonder why these raisin-haters can't distinguish the difference between a raisin and a chocolate chip. I may have been fooled by a stray M&M in a bowl of Skittles (though to be fair I never even really looked at what I was munching on), but I've never once been suckered into eating a raisin cookie thinking that it was a chocolate chip cookie; chocolate chips just do not look like raisins. Especially after having been burned countless times, apparently (as is evidenced by their rabid revulsion to raisin cookies), shouldn't some sort of self-preservation system in the brain kick in when they see a chocolate chip cookie? Shouldn't there be some intense scrutiny before they take a bite?
My theory is that these people are amongst the most extreme of chocoholics, and that their intense cacao addiction sends their brain into such a tizzy at the sight of a bespeckled cookie that it simply can't process any further visual input. While the rest of us can glance at the cookie and easily determine the not-so-secret ingredient, their sudden euphoria at scoring a fix prevents them from doing so. 0.3 seconds later, the cookie has entered their mouth...and what happens next isn't very pretty.
Of course, it's just a working theory; I haven't actually acquired the funding to conduct a double-blind study yet. Nor have I figured out how to lure this group of people into said study. I'm afraid that mentioning the word "raisin" would be a deal-breaker, and I'm worried about the ethics of not mentioning the word. I'm also quite worried about my safety.
In any case, here's hoping that this shirt will print so that these poor afflicted individuals can buy one. Perhaps seeing the slogan often enough will reprogram their synaptic responses just enough that they can avoid these unfortunate incidents. Or maybe the design will educate those around them of their plight, so that they might take pity and let them know that "hey, those are raisins." Of course, it might also lead to people putting out plates of raisin cookies in a twisted effort to get some great video for YouTube. After all, some people are just sociopaths.
OH NO! You poor thing, having your mouth unexpectedly flooded with creamy chocolate. I can only imagine the horror you have experienced.
I must say that I disagree with your making these people out as suffering from disease. That kind of philosophy runs rampant through our society and the next thing you know, there is a "Chocolate Avoidance and Compassion Act" (CACA) being pushed transparently through Congress behind closed doors, providing $50 billion in inefficient government programs at all of our expense.
Those unable to differentiate between raisins and chocolate need to take responsibility for their own actions and not act like victims of some "disease". And please, do we really need a federally funded study of "why" they can't make this distinction? I think not.

Arsène Wenger wanted Thierry Henry to play the last five minutes for Arsenal on Sunday - but the rules would not allow it to happen.
The striker made an emotional return to Emirates Stadium with New York Red Bulls over the weekend and his former Club had conjured up a crowd-pleasing idea.
But the Emirates Cup operates under FIFA rules which the officials are duty-bound to uphold.
"The surprise was that we wanted to him to play the last five minutes for us," said the manager on Sunday.
"He was desperate to do it, but the referees stubbornly turned it down.
"I went in to see the referee at half-time to ask him to allow him to play for us but they told us that the rules are absolutely, adamantly against it because one given player cannot play for two teams in the same game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Survey Says! Health-Care Costs Top CFO Worries
Health-care costs are a big concern for chief financial officers who are unsure what impact the Affordable Care Act will have on their companies next year.
That's just one finding from the annual CFO survey released today by Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Granted, responses to the poll, which covered250 finance executives at companies with annual sales of up to $2 billion, were taken before recent announcement that the employee mandate in the ACA will be delayed until 2015. That temporarily alleviates businesses with 50 or more full-time employees from paying a financial penalty if they don't provide health benefits on Jan. 1.
Still, the figures are noteworthy. Seven out of 10 CFOs rank health-care costs as among their top concerns in 2013, heading a list that includes top-line growth, energy costs and taxes. In the same survey last year, only 51% of those polled named health-care expenses as a top concern.
Other survey results deserve to be noted:
- CFOs are getting more optimistic about the economy with about 55% expecting the economy to grow in 2013, compared with 39% in the same survey six months ago. Only 10% said they expect the economy to shrink, down from 24% percent.
- Almost half said they expect their companies to add workers this year.
- Fifty-six percent of CFOs expect revenue growth – same as in the previous survey – while 43% percent anticipate a growth in profit margin, up from 40%.

Highbury Square development - Latest pictures
The Highbury Square complex is due for completion next summer, but as you can see from these photos (taken on Tuesday) much of the development is already finished.
Highbury is being converted into 724 luxury apartments, with the iconic art deco facades of the East and West Stands being preserved as part of the project. Over 90 per cent of the apartments have now been sold, and in fact more than 100 of them are now occupied, mainly in the old Clock End.
The old playing surface will be turned into a communal garden and many of the original aspects of Highbury, such as the Marble Halls and Boardroom, have been retained.
For further information on the limited number of available apartments, please visit www.thestadium-highbury.com or call 0845 262 6000.

The simple act of washing your hands with plain soap can have an important effect on your health. It can help ward off germs—no special soap required. In fact, lathering up with antibacterial soap may not impart better germ protection. Its active ingredient may also do more harm than good.
The FDA recently questioned the use of antibacterial soap. It proposed a rule requiring manufacturers to prove their products work as claimed. If that's not possible, the companies will have to reformulate their soaps. Or they may need to change the label to continue selling them.
Why the concern? These products claim to fend off more germs than regular soap. But past research shows mixed results on how well they work. In one review of 27 studies, antibacterial soaps did no better than regular soaps. Another study said they might give slightly better protection.
One major drawback: Many of these studies were small in scope. They also didn't specifically test whether the products prevented infections. What's more, the amount of soap used and hand scrubbing time varied.
The FDA is also concerned about the safety of certain chemicals in antibacterial soaps. Many of these products contain triclosan. It's an ingredient that may stop the growth of bacteria. You can find it in many other consumer products, such as toys, carpeting, and cosmetics.
Some animal studies suggest triclosan may alter hormone production. But no such link has yet been found in humans. Plus, scientists don't know the chemical's long-term effects.
Triclosan may also contribute to the growing threat of antibacterial resistance. More bacteria are becoming immune to antibiotics. This resistance is making it harder to treat many illnesses.
To date, the FDA has not found enough evidence to ban the use of triclosan. But it's currently working with the EPA to better understand how the chemical may harm human health. For now, you can easily protect yourself from germs by washing your hands with regular soap and water.
Washing your hands is a healthy habit worth doing right. It can help protect you against illnesses like the common cold and the flu. Remember to wash your hands often and follow these tips:
Use warm water and plenty of soap. Work up a good lather.
Clean the whole hand, under your nails, between your fingers, and up the wrists.
Wash for at least 15 to 20 seconds. Don't just wipe. Scrub well.
Rinse, letting the water run down your fingers, not up your wrists.
Dry your hands well. Use a paper towel to turn off the faucet and open the door.
Keep your whole family healthy. Here are tips on teaching your children to properly wash their hands.

wow finally! i would play but i literally don't know anyone else who does lots of good stuff in this update though.
The amount of people I saw playing yesterday trying to get their 4th job makes me realize I was wrong when I thought the game was dying. Holy crap.
which means only 5 people in onrpg at most will have it out of all the onrpgers because most of the onrpgers would quit at lv.10-20

Man, I would definitely play LaTale again if more people were playing it. There were many, many, many good times in that game. I just wonder how the community is now in comparison to the first 6 months of release. If the game doesn't have that many numbers with super empty maps, acting as a barren wasteland, it definitely isn't worth to play it again.
Anyone here willing to give some info?
I've been playing LaTale off and on for the past year and there is always players on the maps I'm on, I'd assume the population has grown significantly since this update has been announced. I'd also assume it will drop back down a few weeks later too.
Play Wakfu on the Remington server with us.
I think I'll download this later today and give it another shot. I'll have to look up class guides and stuff. I'll speak to a couple of people and see if they're down to play as well.
it's sure alot better than it was though, but yeah the lag still annoying especially in an instance dungeon or against stronger monsters.
500 players? probably a bit more than that but either way that's enough to enjoy the game.
Feels like alot more players,Seems like 1,000+ Not to mention many players are very helpful even though im lvl 182 =X
Doesn't sound like a dead community if it still has that many players available. It'll be worth giving this a shot again since I have nothing else to play at the moment.
Well there is a current event going on for those who lvl a character from 1- 110 i think it is,you get prizes and whatnot,so why not make one...im here going to make a new char for the Lols..
meh the items them give you for leveling up is pretty cheap stuff so no real reason to level a new char >_>
Last edited by sinfullfears; 05-04-2014 at 01:15 AM.
that stuff is nice for other people but personally i wouldn't level another char just for that stuff. all my chars have pets and toma sets and hair/skin/eyes/coliseum weps/unlimited rings and i have so many peach cans/holy waters/nostrums/puzzles and i have never spent a penny on the game. also once u hit around 80 the grinding is pretty huge.

It's not clear what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Doctors know that most Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when an infection-fighting cell called a B cell develops a mutation in its DNA. The mutation tells the cells to divide rapidly and to continue living when a healthy cell would die. The mutation causes a large number of oversized, abnormal B cells to accumulate in the lymphatic system, where they crowd out healthy cells and cause the signs and symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Various types of Hodgkin's lymphoma exist. The type is based on the types of cells involved in your disease and their behavior. Your type determines your treatment options.
Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is the more common type of this disease. It can be broken down further into subtypes. People diagnosed with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma have large, abnormal cells called Reed-Sternberg cells in their lymph nodes.
Subtypes of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
This much rarer type of Hodgkin's lymphoma involves large, abnormal cells that are sometimes called popcorn cells because of their appearance. Treatment may be different from the classical type. People with this type of Hodgkin's lymphoma may have a better chance of a cure when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.

Great job to all of you! Nothing like the smile on a child's face! Keep troopng and thanks for sharing this!
It's always great to get good press for all of us. Nice work!
Great job guys!
That's awesome! the tusken raider at the end made me laugh so hard haha.
Can't believe the reports called it a "sand creature..."
Not so much worried about what they called the character, that was some very good reporting, excellent video editing and a well told story.
Good interviews by the troops too, made us look good.
So many times the editing and the interviews make us look stupid.
Great on ya guys!
Great footage and good coverage. went some way to stop us looking like dorks....Not that I mind being a dork
That was a great bit of footage! Well done Everglades. It's nice to see good feedback and not the 'guess who's single' ****. Awesome!
Good for you guys! Great video and a great cause.

I guess I was the only one that noticed Pontiac G8s, and GTOs before them sitting on dealer lots for 365 days with roots growing out of the wheels, or selling at bargain basement money losing prices, or filling up local Hertz and Avis lots.
I'm sure slapping a bowtie on essentially the same car will fix all that though . A big V8 rwd sedan is exactly what consumers are desperate for right now. This will definitely be another home run in the long list of resounding successes of Australian sourced GMs in North America.

Faye White believes that Kelly Smith and Alex Scott have the quality to help Arsenal Ladies win the Champions League this season.
It was announced on Friday that the England internationals had signed on for further spells at the Club, days ahead of their European clash against Gothenburg.
Scott scored the winner for the Gunners when they won the 2007 UEFA Women's Cup final, while Smith is one of women's football's finest ever players.
Arsenal lost in the Champions League semi-final last year, and White says their double signing could help them go one step further and win the competition.
"They are international players and have had that experience in Europe with us, but also in World Cups and European Championships," she told Arsenal Player.
"They have learned extra things in America that they can bring back. They have been training with us since they have been back in the country and you can see the other players looking at them and watching the way they prepare and train. It is a great to have them back."

I could have sworn that when I read the new rules a few months back, there was a change in the cargo hold posting structure.
All items that were done, and ready to sell, went into the cargo hold. Anything that was a run, continuous run, or list to be completed or run as an 'order to receive' should be in the appropriate section of the website.
I have a few things that I will be listing soon, and I want to make sure that the threads go in the right place.
Can a mod please chime in here?

Hello everyone its me again! Okay so most of you know that i want to make casts out of a H&K MP-7 (for something i shall not say) here is what i have to ask.
1: The Mould Part:
Is there something that is similar to silicone rubber but less expensive? I'm going to make two parts of each side so I need to find something in somewhat great quantity.
2: A Substitute for Resin?:
Would Bondo work for replacing casting resin, since resin is so expensive (like $30 for 2 oz). Or is there anything els like a liquid two part abs plastic thing?
Help will be greatly appreciated!

Bill Would Give Tax Credit to People Who Adopt Shelter Animals
Thousands of dogs and cats are waiting to be adopted at Maryland's shelters, but your lawmakers in Annapolis want to give them a new "leash" on life.
"I have introduced a bill that gives citizens of Maryland a $100 tax credit who adopt a cat or a dog from an animal shelter," says Del. Glen Glass, (R) - District 34A.
Glass is sponsoring House Bill 371. It's received a lot of support so far, with 45 delegates co-sponsoring it.
"Delegate Glen Glass came to me with the bill, and I've adopted a dog, so I thought it was a great idea. It costs a lot of money to adopt an animal, and obviously we want to encourage more people to adopt pets. Unfortunately, we know some of them are put to sleep if they don't find good homes," says Del. Michael Hough, (R) - Frederick and Washington Counties.
Those with Frederick County Animal Control say they put down 2,600 animals in 2012.
"I applaud those who are sponsoring this bill that that incentive becomes a reality, thus more people visit a shelter, and as more people visit, more animals are going to get adopted," says Harold Domer, director of Frederick County Animal Control.
Hough adopted his Beagle "Scout" nine years ago from the Frederick County Animal Control and Adoption Center and hopes the tax credit could encourage more people to adopt pets like Scout.
"It costs the state money, and it costs the counties money to have these animals in shelter, so it's going to help save the state money to help these animals find homes," Hough says. "It's a good bill, and it's a good thing to encourage adoption. I think it's something everyone's for."
Lawmakers hope the bill can help more animals find good homes.
About five to seven million shelter animals are euthanized across the country every year.
"I believe that sometimes people need a little incentive to go to a shelter and adopt a dog, and I hope and pray that this bill will help people make that decision," Glass says.
The bill will be heard in committee on February 26th. You can read it by clicking here.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
SBF cylinder heads up to about mid year 68' had fully adjustable rockers and shorter (6.8") push rods
the non adjustable 76' heads have "bolt down" non adjustable rockers and do use the longer rods with shims if necessary (6.9"approx)
tell him his valves are longer also than the adjustable rocker heads
I call it: "the L-4 change bear trap"
cause of what he did for the break in......he really should do a lift measure at the rockers on all 8 cylinders because: "some were loose and some were tight"
no calipers on hand, a crude way is to make a lift "reference stick" to compare all 16 valves at TDC...cut it/shape it so you can measure each at the same location on the head....wooden paint stick works...easy to cut and trim
what lenght pushrods? wiped out cam? 78 ford 302
I have a friend with a rebuilt 302 out of 78 mustang ii. The motor is a stock rebuild (aftermarket flat tops, cam, intake, carb, everything else stock) with about 9:1 CR. The cam is a hydraulic 218* .488" lift, stock heads (no milling) and pro form alum full roller rockers(to work with stock push rods length).
They had a real hard time starting the motor, cranking it over many times for probably more than 30 min., and after it finally fired and ran, I was surprised to see they reved it up past 4,000 many times and did not break it in at the as recommended holding at 2000 rpm. They then shut it off after about a minute of running. They did this about 2 times after it cooled. start reved up high for bout 1 min. and shut off. THEN he said they "broke" it in.
They pulled the valve covers off bout a day later cause they heard some valve train noise. They found that the push rods are too short??? - they were loose and wiggling. But before they started they adjust the preload(weird ford type pedestal mount so you have to shim them) and he said that they weren't to short then. He also said that the ones towards the front of the motor weren't as loose or not at all. While the ones near back were looser.
Now to me this sounds like a possible wiped out cam??? he said he was using 6.8** length and now he needs 6.9**. If he indeed does need longer length could their be any damage done?
What do you guys think?
