STOKE CITY1Thomas 45
By Richard Clarke
It has been a weekend where the big guns wobbled but did not fall and so it proved at Highbury this afternoon.
A well-drilled Stoke side came to Highbury with hopes of going one better than Exeter and Scunthorpe yesterday and actually reaching the FA Cup Fourth Round. They led through Wayne Thomas' goal on the stroke of half time and, in Ade Akinbiyi, carried a persistent threat.
However Arsenal, who had been a little hesitant in the first half, steeled themselves during the interval and came out fighting. Jose Antonio Reyes stroked home the equaliser five minutes after the break and the excellent Robin van Persie flicked in the winner midway through the half.
It was hard-fought but thoroughly deserved win. Yet there was also a hefty measure of relief in the cheers at full time.
Despite a raft of injuries, there was a elemrnt of rotation in Arsène Wenger's side. He chose to give Emmanuel Eboue his debut after completing his move from Beveren late last week. The 20-year-old Ivorian slotted in at right back in a youthful Arsenal defence.
Thierry Henry was rested but Reyes was back from a knee injury and Pennant slotted in on the right-side of midfield. Lehmann returned to the starting line-up in place of Manuel Almunia.
For the record the injury list was the following: Sol Campbell (ankle), Gilberto (vertebrae), Edu (toe), Ashley Cole (ankle), Freddie Ljungberg (muscle), Jeremie Aliadiere (knee) and Pascal Cygan (back).
Around 9,000 Stoke fans packed the 'Clock End' Stand and their side lived up to their hard-working reputation in the first half.
Van Persie went close with a couple of early efforts but the visitors were very organised defensively. In the 10th minute, a slip from Philippe Senderos let in Akinbiyi, whose shot looked destined for the sidenetting but Lehmann still made a fine save.
However Arsenal were looking more likely to break the deadlock. Van Persie's flick sent Pires scuttling through but the Frenchman could not dribble through the massed ranks for the Stoke defence.
In the 29th minute, Pires spread the ball wide to the right and Pennant collected, cut inside and forced a strong save from Simonsen.
Gael Clichy snuffed out a shot from Chris Greenacre at the far post but, at the other end, Van Persie sent a free-kick fizzing just over the bar and Vieira then set up the Dutchman to fire just wide.
It seemed Arsenal had some sort of control. However, right at the death, Thomas gleefully slid in to put Stoke in front after Lehmann had saved Akinbiyi's header.
Arsenal were a changed side after the break. Four minutes in, Fabregas set up Van Persie 10 yards out and the Dutchman swivelled before send a fierce shot at goal. Simonsen's save was superb.
Seconds later Arsenal were level. Toure darted to the byline and his cross was nodded back to Reyes on the edge of the area. The Spaniard hammered home his ninth goal of the season.
Arsenal went for the kill. Reyes set up Van Persie to shoot at Simonsen and Vieira bundled the ball wide from a corner.
However Stoke were not spent. Gerry Taggart nodded on a corner and Greenacre's effort was headed off the line by Clichy.
Yet, overall, Arsenal had successfully wrestled control of the game. Simonsen spilled Reyes shot but Van Persie could not profit, then Senderos just failed to get a touch on Pires' free-kick. Fabregas even got in on the act by spearing a shot just wide from distance.
Akinbiyi, a pest for Arsenal all afternoon, again proved his worth in the 67th minute by spinning on the edge of the area and sending a dipping shot against the bar.
However, Arsenal were not in the mood to let this game slip. First Reyes set up Van Persie for a first-time effort before, finally, the winner arrived.
Reyes reached the byline and cut the ball back for Pennant. He clipped the ball to the near post where Van Persie, with his back to goal, flicked out a leg to fire the ball home.
All afternoon, Stoke's strength had been their defensive organisation. Now they had to come out of their shell. It proved difficult and Arsenal were the nearer to adding to the scoresheet when Pennant tested the excellent Simonsen.
But, given that massive scare just before half time, Wenger was surely just happy enough to be in the Fourth Round.

How do they measure the lenth? Do the measure them from the tips of the buckles(the entire length) or the end of the braids,(minus the buckles)????
Or to put it another way : Are the buckles included in the measurement?
How do they measure the lenth? Do the measure them from the tips of the buckles(the entire length) or the end of the braids,(minus the buckles)????
Or to put it another way : Are the buckles included in the measurement?
Well im not to sure of your Q .
Update: I ordered one here:
If you call on the phone they can order you a smaller belt. They can get them in 24 and 28 inch sizes.
Quick question. I'm a 38 waist. Should I go with that or bigger to allow for the bulk of the flight suit? How much leeway can you get from these? Thanks.
smaller, if you look at reference pictures, his girth belt doesn't go all the way around his waiste, there's 2 black straps that finish it off.
I'd measure around your hips, not your waist. I can't vouch for all girths, but my synthetic mohair girth came 2" shorter than I ordered. It's meant to be streched around a horse to get those 2" back.
So basicaly measure around the hips taking into account the cod and butt plate then subtract a few inches to get the right gap in the back. Sound right?
i just got mine on saturday from www.completeequestrian.com and i ordered a 36", i'm about a 34" waist and in my street clothes i have about 6" of space between the buckles. so, i guess they run a little smaller than their size.
I'm still a bit vexed by the whole "what size should I buy?" issue. I have a 38 inch waist, 40 inch for a super comfortable pair of pants. I planned on buying from completeequestrian.com, but I'm not certain which size to order. I'd hate to have to ship one back and pay more shipping charges than I have to, I'm sure you can relate...It'd be super convenient if we could somehow create a size chart, helping you match up which belt you should order for your particular waist size. Could anyone lend a hand?
after dyeing they shrink some too so they need to be strethced out and held until completely dry
They shrink but mine didn't shrink to much at all. I bought a size 50 because I didn't know how much it would when I got done dying it. I would say that it is probably a 48 or 46 size right now. I have yet to attach anything so that I can close it in the back at the gap.
Confusing, confusing, confusing...It seems some stretch where others didn't. Would that have something to do with the difference between mohair and synthetic materials I assume? The one I was looking at is mohair, so I guess I can order one a couple sizes larger, then dye it resulting in shrinkage, so then I guess I can string it between two boards, stretching it until it's about right then. Unless anyone can shed more light on the subject for me...

My name is Chris Cronick and I'm honored to have been chosen as the 2013 Lupus Ambassador for the Lupus Foundation of Minnesota (LFM). I'm 37 and I was diagnosed with lupus in 2010. Prior to my diagnosis, I was in and out of the hospital for six months. It was a very scary time, not knowing what was wrong. I was tested for everything, but eventually was diagnosed with lupus SLE.
I have found that many times those of us with lupus tend to have other autoimmune diseases and I am no exception. I also have had rheumatoid arthritis for nearly 15 years and I have celiac disease too, another autoimmune disease in which my body is allergic to wheat and gluten. I plan to delve further into my life-changing journey with lupus in subsequent blog posts.
Having lupus has given me many blessings and curses along the way. One positive result is a renewed respect for my health. There is so much I can't control when it comes to lupus but there are a few things I can do to feel better. I live one day at a time with a careful watch of my diet, sleep, rest, medications, fitness and stress levels. Managing these things certainly doesn't take lupus away, but it does help. It's a constant balancing act.
There's no "how-to" manual for lupus, but there is support out there. I encourage each of you to check out some of the workshops and events the foundation is sponsoring throughout the year. LFM staff, volunteers and researchers go above and beyond the call of duty to provide resources and I want to thank each of them for their continued commitment and efforts. Thank you!
I'm excited to kick off the Lupus Walk for Hope and 5K Run on September 14 here in the Twin Cities. I'll also be attending the Walk/5K in Rochester, on September 28 as well as Duluth, on October 5. I'm eager to meet everyone, raise funds and raise awareness, so please say hi!
At times, I've had an uphill battle with my health and I'll be sharing more of my story in the following months. I haven't always been able to be so open, but I feel I'm being called to share my struggles and triumphs with lupus so others may feel hopeful. I encourage your comments and questions because I think it's important to stay connected in this disease. I want to wish you all the very best of health. Let's stay hopeful together!

Results | Friday's Preliminary Results
Chapel Hill, N.C. -- The Tennessee men's swimming team set the season's fastest times in the country in four events Friday evening at the Nike Cup Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Volunteers qualified an additional three swimmers for the NCAA championship meet to bring their total of the meet to 10. Meanwhile, the Tennessee divers turned in a pair of strong performances in Houston, Texas.
"It was another fantastic evening for the Vols," head coach John Trembley said. "These guys are really on fire. It feels like we're winning the NCAA meet right now."
The Vols set the fastest time in the country in the 800-yard freestyle relay. Casey Dauw, Bryan Goldberg, Bradley Boswell and Tyler Gustafson touched the wall in 6:27.56. The Vols also set the top time in the country in the 200-yard medley relay with the team of Josh Fulton, Andrew Bree, Andrew Engle, and Raymond Rosal. Rosal anchored the attack in 19.80 seconds to add another NCAA-qualifying time of 1:27.96.
"The sprint group has been working a lot on our relay transitions," Rosal said. "The guys are excited to be here, and the most important thing is that we qualify as many people as we can for the NCAA championships."
Bree and Michael Russo gave the team a 1-2 finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. In winning the event, Bree broke former Vol Olympian Jeremy Linn's pool record and set the fastest time in the country this year with a 53.94 second preliminary swim and 54.02 in the finals. Russo set a personal best in the event by touching the wall in 54.85.
The Vols took four of the top five spots in the 200-yard freestyle. Goldberg won in 1:36.33. Gustafson came in second with 1:36.99 (1:36.49 in the preliminaries), giving the pair the top two times in the country this season. Boswell (1:37.16) finished third to give the Vols the 1-2-3 sweep, and Evan Nylander placed fifth (1:38.11).
Tennessee continued its winning streak in the 400-yard individual medley with Dauw putting up a new school record of 3:47.32. Chris Franklin followed in fifth (3:58.77) and Travis Wright in 11th (4:04.54).
Fulton and Jamie Graves had top-10 finishes in the 100-yard butterfly. Fulton finished third in 48.56 and Graves followed in fifth with 48.93.
Fulton won the 100-yard backstroke in 48.36 seconds, while Engle placed 11th in 50.39.
Meanwhile, in Houston, the Volunteer divers had another strong day.
In the one-meter competition, John Venditti qualified for the NCAA Zone B Diving Meet to be held in March to join teammate Jevon Tarantino, who added his second win of the meet with 579.8 points. Venditti finished second with 484.8.
"John has never qualified for the NCAA Zone B Diving before, so this should be a huge boost in confidence for him," head diving coach Dave Parrington said. "John nailed a brand new dive we created for him. I was very pleased with how Jevon did today, he had some very big dives."
Both competitions will resume at 10 a.m. tomorrow.

Ok guys, let's do a small run (4-6) of these.
The discrepancies I found in the first pull (my backplate) showed me I need to double up on the aluminum resin for two gelcoat applications for a solid and smooth surface before fiberglassing. Also, because of the untrimmed weight of these things (approximately 2.5 lbs) the shipping costs are going to be a bit higher than expected. However, once trimmed and depending on how much is cut-off from the sides and bottom, the weight goes down significantly by 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound.
Also, I've noticed the resin and fiberglass materials I'm using allow the backplate to have some flexibility, especially in the shoulder and side areas. I'm thinking this will increase comfortability when wearing one of these things. But it's still very very durable. I'm using a single layer of thick fiberglass mesh that the package says is intended for heavy repairs, so you won't have to worry about breaking this thing unless you jump up and down on it or drive over it with your car!
Here are a few more specifics:
Shoulder width = 15.125" (trimmable)
Height = 17" (trimmable)
Trimmed weight = 1.75 to 2 lbs.
Materials = Aluminum filled resin gelcoat and fiberglass application.
The price I can offer these at is $95 USPS Priority shipped in the U.S. Please contact me for anywhere outside the U.S.
I'll start taking paypal orders to email@example.com (underscore between my first and last names). First paid, first shipped. I'll order more aluminum resin as soon as a few orders come in, and I am anticipating the middle of next week for them to begin shipping out.
Here's a link of the original build thread and a few pics showing how they look untrimmed, but I'll give em a rough trim before shipped:

Hi to all:
My name's Oriol Pallares, I'm from Catalonia; first of all I wish to quote that I feel a little cohibited in front of so many english teachers (I was really a terrible student at the institute).
My girlfriend is chinese (from Hebei province) and actually has a major degree on english language; she has finished the career the last week and now is looking for job; I've reccomended her to go to teach englsih to korea or japan, where she can earn much more money than in china and live better.
It is necessary to be a native english language speaker to get the TEFL?, that's the question that I'm doing to myself all the time, i've seen so many job offers, but all need a TEFL certificate (or something like that, I've read the faq section). So at first, knowing it will be a very good point to start at.
Thanks a lot for your help


text: Unfortunately, I've had more experience with lawyers and the judicial system than I care for. Chances are, it wouldn't be "worth it". First, you hire a lawyer ($$) who draws up and files papers ($$). The the school district lawyer responds (note: teacher hasn't paid a dime), the the lawyers begin filing more papers ($$). Judges are busy, and will push very hard for the lawyers to reach an out of court settlement. More talking ($$). The Judge might direct you to mediation, then you get to pay not only your lawyer's hourly fee ($$), but that of the mediator ($$$$). After several hours ($$$), when both your lawyer and the mediator make it clear to you that: 1) going to trial will require many more billable hours ($$$$$); 2) that "slander and defamation of character" are difficult to prosecute; 3) that even if you win, the teacher will likely get reprimand and not much more; and 4) that you are very unlikely to recover any of your costs; THEN you realize that you've spent thousands of dollars that you could have spent on bee stuff.

This is the Biggest blow to Iowa Sportsmen and the future Management of Iowa's Natural Resources.
Behind the curtain of politically hidden agendas a move by the Governor has just made the position of IDNR Fish & Wildlife Bureau Chief a Politically appointed position.
What this does is open up that position to political cronyism or to some who have other interests other than protecting, enhancing or restoring Iowa's Natural Resources.
Now this position can be filled by AG interest which would Ultimate be the final nail in our efforts as sportsmen to protect our Iowa Natural Resources.
Now we are subject to even greater political land use agendas that put Iowa's Natural Resources at the Bottom of the toilet. This all but guarantees that the 1 position we entrust to use science to guide our conservation efforts and policy to, protect our states Natural Resources now can be politically appointed by the governor by anyone who may not hold Iowa Sportsmen interests or Iowa's Natural Resources as a Priority.
As a Iowa Sportsmen I am Pissed Off that this Action was Not Made Public to advise Iowa Sportsmen that their Natural Resources and the Future Management and Recreational opportunities could be put in jeopardy by an appointment by the Governor to any individual who DOES NOT hold our states Natural Resources or Sporting Interests in the highest regard.
I ask that EVERY SPORTSMEN OF IOWA TAKE THIS WARNING AND CONTACT THEIR LOCAL SENATE AND HOUSE MEMBERS AND DEMAND THAT THIS DECISION BE IMMEDIATELY REVERSED.
This Position should not be subject to Political cronyism but should be held by qualifications and background in Wild Game Management and sound conservation policy BACKGROUND.
If you guys think the slaughter of our states deer heard was bad or the systematic destruction of our upland game populations is Bad, you just wait until the AG appointed individual Fills that position or some Treehugger. Then as a sportsmen who do you run to to protect your interest? Who then do you have looking out for you and our Natural Resources or our Sporting futures?
I just learned of this today and I am telling you from 1 sportsmen to another of all walks and of all intrests, THIS 1 ISSUE IS A MAJOR THREAT TO YOU AS A SPORTSMEN AND A MAJOR THREAT TO THE FUTURE AS SPORTSMEN.
This is the most underhanded BS I have seen and you as a sportsmen had NO Idea that the FOX was being let into the Chicken coupe BY BACKDOOR TACTICS. WE NEED TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS OR RISK LOOSING FAR MORE THAN WE EVER EVEN THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
What if an individual is appointed by the Governor who is ANTI sportsmen, Anti Hunting, ANTI Trapping and of the like? Is this what we have been exposed to as a possibility? You damn Right. Lets stop this AND STOP IT NOW. As sportsmen we have to protect the 1 division with in the IDNR that is based on Science not politically motivated agendas. This position should never be exposed to this level of cronyism:mad:.

|Also, if it hasn't already been done, swap to manual steering, gives a bit more room.
|The Big Block should bolt in where that Small block used to be. It will be taller and wider at the top, you will need to custom build a set of headers or maybe you could go with a fenderwell header setup since you don't have any inner fenders.
|Guy Hiltz
VA4CQD (sounds like an amature radio call sign) has it nailed. Lot better info that Hot Rod offered a guy about 40 years ago who wanted to put an FE 390 into a Ford Falcon. They suggested he remove the hood and existing engine. Then raise the 390 about 10 feet over the engine compartment, then drop it!
I'm sure that would of provided a custom fit of sorts.
Thats just too funny !!!!!
I'm sure that would of provided a custom fit of sorts.
|S10 Racer
Thanks for all the info va4cqd. I hope mine is a little easier since the whole engine compartment is bare. The firewall has already been "hammered" up when the SB was put in. The crossmember may be an issue since it has not been modified. I can do all the work and welding, thats no problem. I was just looking into the hassles of the BBC swap to see if I wanted to tackle it.
Thanks again
here is some info
1st Generation S-10 Big Block Installation
Frame Fabrication
Early style big block Chevrolet motor mounts were used to mount the engine to the cross member. Extensions were welded to the front edge of the cross member and brackets were fabricated for the motor mounts to bolt to.
The front cross member was cut at the back edge approximately 3" and then boxed in. This allowed room for the engine oil pan to clear and so the engine could be mounted low. The right side of the cross member was cut at the starter location allowing enough room to install a GM full size starter although a mini high torque was used.
There were no modifications needed to the frame for the fuel pump to clear.
The frame on the left and right side was cut along the top inside edge and reshaped into a cup shape to give more room for the exhaust pipe to clear.
The front tips of the frame rails where the radiator mounts were cut downward into a U shape, boxed and welded. This allowed room for the height of the radiator. The radiator support mounts on the frame were cut and moved outward to allow room for the width of the radiator.
A stock S-10 two-wheel-drive automatic transmission cross member was used but it was cut, reshaped and welded on the left side to allow the exhaust pipe to pass through it aiding in ground clearance.
Sheet Metal Modification
A section of the firewall was cut out around the steering column and moved 1" toward the driver's side of the truck. This allowed clearance for the steering column at the head of the engine.
The flange where the transmission tunnel and firewall meet had to be hammered up to give some clearance for the transmission to clear.
Where the right exhaust manifold meets the firewall of the truck, it had to be reshaped at that point to allow room for the studs, flange, and the pipe to clear.
The radiator support was trimmed approximately 2" at the top, in the boxed area, to allow extra room for the height of the radiator.
The 2 supports on each side of the radiator were moved outward, trimmed to fit over part of the headlight bucket area and welded. This allowed room for the width of the radiator.
Since these areas were moved outward, the radiator support mounts on the frame were moved outward also as described in the frame fabrication.
The radiator was moved forward into the condenser location and the condenser located to the outside of the support.
With the relocation of the radiator and condenser, the hood lock support will need to be cut off just below the lock mechanism. Once this is done, another lock support brace will have to be fabricated to clear the condenser and to support the lock. If a support brace is not made, the hood will shake during driving.
The safety catch on the hood lock was also cut because of interference with the condenser. Some type of safety catches needs to be fabricated for the hood lock in case the lock should fail.
The back of the 1984 grille will also need to be trimmed to clear the condenser.
The filler panel between the grille and the bumper will also need to be trimmed to clear the condenser.
(If a later model grille is used there may not be any or very little trimming needed.)
The stock S-10 hood was used. The under hood reinforcement just above the air breather was trimmed to clear the breather. All of the adhesive attachment points were maintained.
The breather used was a dropped base breather allowing more room to help clear the hood. The stock hood insulation was used and flexes enough to close over the breather.
(Hood Insulation) GM # 15659223
Cooling System - A/C
A GM radiator was used from a 1979 Chevrolet van w/small block 400 4 flu.
The radiator filler neck was relocated to the side of the tank instead of the top. Changing the filler neck to a 90-degree bend allowed it to come out past the radiator support thus eliminating cutting a hole in top of the support for the factory filler neck. The radiator shroud is for a 1979 Chevrolet van w/small block 400. It was trimmed 2" and then cut in half horizontally. It was also trimmed near the p/s pulley.
A GM short style aluminum water pump was used. GM # 14058915
An 18" flex fan was used and there is very little room between the fan bolts and radiator. The fan shroud was cut in half and two brackets on each side were made to hold the two halves together. This allows for removal of the top half of the shroud and the removal of the water pump.
The water pump has to be removed with the fan and pulley as a unit. Once the unit is removed it will allow enough room for the radiator to be removed.
(Shroud) GM # 14052540
The thermostat housing was used from an early Chevrolet. The thermostat used is a Robert Shaw 160 degree.
The top and bottom radiator hoses were trimmed to fit on each end.
Radiator hose upper Gates # 20983
Radiator hose lower Gates # 21262
A transmission cooler is mounted between the frame rails in the front just under the radiator shroud.
The A/C compressor is a Sandon 508 134A system. The a/c hoses were custom made using a combination of angled fittings at the top and the factory S-10 fittings at the condenser and drier.
The evaporator and condenser are stock S-10.
The A/C evaporator box was cut and reshaped to allow room for the engine valve cover to be removed.
The A/C condenser was moved to the outside of the radiator support just behind the grille. Two brackets were welded at the bottom of the support to hold the condenser and two straps were made to hold the condenser at the top.
The steering shaft was custom made using 3 universal joints to work around the exhaust manifold and 1 heim joint to support the shaft to the frame. The steering box is the stock S-10 unit.
The shifter is on the column and a B&M shifter cable was used with a custom made bracket that attaches to the end of the column. B&M # 80605 or PA 5020808
The power steering brackets, pump and remote reservoir came from a 1968 SS Chevelle B.B w/short water pump. The P/S pulley is the flat one – GM # 3925537 P.
The P/S lines and line fitting for the back of the pump are from a 1990's 4.3 S-10. The lines had to be reshaped to fit this application.
The a/c brackets are Alan Grove 118R made for B.B. Chevrolets w/short pump. These use the Sandon 508 compressor.
It came with a double groove pulley and matches with the other pulleys.
The alternator brackets are from a 1968 Chevelle B.B. and the alternator pulley used is a small one.
The water pump pulley is GM # 3905989.
The inner 2 groove crank pulley is GM # 3874418 BS.
The outer 2 groove crank pulley is GM # 5525.
Alternator belt – Gates # 7555 XL
P/S belt – Gates # 7500 XL
A/C belt – Gates # 7603 XL
Front Suspension
The upper control arms were cut on each side above the bushings and a pie shaped section was removed then welded back together. This had no effect on the strength or in the geometry of aligning the front suspension. The bushings installed with no problems.
The truck uses the V6 springs with a half coil removed and Bell-Tech 2" dropped spindles. There was no modification to the lower control arms. The front sway bar is also stock S-10.
The front brakes are stock S-10 and they seem to work well and so far there have been no problems with stopping and with the added weight it seems to ride good and steer fine.
The exhaust manifolds are stock GM # 3994045 left
GM# 3989310 Right
The exhaust manifold on the left exits at the back and turns in close to the oil pan.
The exhaust manifold on the right side had a section along the bottom notched out and a peice of metal welded in it. This gave more clearance were the exhaust manifold sits above the control arm.
This side exits out at the back toward the firewall of the truck.
The firewall of the truck had to be cut, reshaped and welded at that point to allow room for the studs, flange, and the pipe to clear.
The exhaust pipe that was used is 2 ½" aluminized. Clearance at the oil filter was a little tight since more ground clearance was needed because of the truck being lowered.
The mufflers that were used are Flowmaster 40 series # 942542.
The mufflers were placed under the cab and above the frame line, and there is clearance between the cab and the top of the muffler.
If the frame were stock in the rear of the truck it would be better to place the mufflers past the cab to cut down on interior noise.
Since this is a Pro Street truck, the narrow frame limits the placement of the tailpipes, so they were placed high by the frame then turned down in front of the rear tire just showing very little of a chrome tip.
This sounds like a lot to deal with but a very good muffler man makes all the difference.
Just Thoughts of What I Did
Everyone always ask, "How fast is it"? For me it wasn't about how fast it is, it's the fun of drivability. The engine is not that radical. I used a 454 engine and a 350 automatic transmission. When I was building the truck I wanted to be able to cruise around town and travel to some shows out of town without the fear of breaking down. I looked for all stock type parts that I could, like belts and hoses incase something did go wrong replacements could be found at just about any local parts store.
As far as fast, a good built small block could surely out run this truck. Having the Big Block in it is fun for me when we go to a cruise-in or car show because most people don't believe that there is a 454 in it. They think that everything in the truck has to be gutted and cut up to get the B.B. installed. I like cruising out of town with the a/c on, cruise set and listening to tunes. So far the truck has a little over 6,000 miles on it and everything seems to be doing well. I've driven it through the mountains of TN and to the coast of SC.
The BIG question that everyone wants to know is "does it run hot"? It depends on if you are in stop and go traffic. In town on a mild day it might run 180-195. On a hot day driving around town it will run 200-210 with the a/c on. When we have been traveling on the highway with the a/c on at 70 mph it would run about 190-200 depending on the heat.
I was asked the other day what would you do differently? The first thing is I would have had an aluminum radiator in it. I believe that it could possibly cut the temp by 5-15 degrees. When I built the truck I really wanted to keep the stock hood on it with the Big Block so that it would make you wonder what motor might be in it. I think that might have bitten me in the butt.
There is very little intake area at the front of the radiator support although I did cut the area out to match the cooling area of the radiator. Having the bumper and the bumper filler panel there blocking some of the airflow and having a closed hood with not a lot of area to blow the hot air out it seems to hold a lot of heat in the engine compartment. Keep in mind to how low the truck is to the ground and how much heat is coming up from the road also. I think with a cowl induction hood on it that is open at the back it might also help lower the temperature.
The second thing I would have done differently is not have did the Pro-Street thing. It's cool to see the fat tires under it and sweet to roast them but it's not easy to drive in the rain. I had the Mickey Thompsons on it before they come out with the Hoosier Radials and at about $300 a tire I'll have to wear these out first before they get changed. A good 10" street tire would have looked good and been easier to handle in wet conditions plus they would be a lot cheaper to replace.
There was a good bit of cutting and welding involved and this is not something you can do in the driveway but mine was done in a single car block-building garage. I'm a Collision Repair Tech. and have some mechanical and MIG welding experience although I'm not a mechanic or certified welder. I don't want people to read this and think that I think I know all there is to know about installing a Big Block in an S-10. I read an article years ago on a BB S-10 and liked it and wanted to do it. I also had a friend that did it before I did and gave me a lot of help with issues I had. "He's my hero". That's for you Eddie! 8)

Stuffing BBC into a little S10
I have an "89" S10 that had a SBC 350 in it when I got it. I am thinking about stuffing a BBC in it because it is strictly a drag truck, no street use. The only problem I can see is maybe the steering box. Has anyone done this swap before and is the steering box an issue? Anything else you know that I am not seeing? Here is what I have done to the truck already.
Narrowed 9" Ford - 31 spline
Tubbed with 33x16.5x15 Hoosier Slicks
I scrapped the factory radiator support and fabricated one using 1x2 rectangular tubing. The inner fenders were removed for space and I have changed it from power brakes to manual to eliminate the brake booster. Thank you all for all the info and help you have given me in this build. I can't wait to get it done.
I tried to insert a picture but can't get it to work.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview dated December 3, 2010)
There is certainly a Sign in that for anyone who fears the punishment of the Hereafter. That is a Day to which mankind will all be gathered. That is a Day which will be witnessed by everyone. (Surah Hud, 103)
The Day of Judgment will be seen by everyone, even the dead, all will see.
So be in no doubt about what these people worship. They only worship as their forebears worshipped previously. We will pay them their portion in full, with no rebate! (Surah Hud, 109)
We see what they worship. There is Darwinism, materialism. When we look at the roots of this religion, we see that they believe that the atoms possess intelligence. Such a religion. One that believes in the unconscious atoms coming together and making up intelligence, and that the atoms that don't see cause seeing, the atoms that don't hear bring forth hearing, the atoms that don't know the mind makes up mind. Since when? Since the Sumerians, ancient Egypt. In the verse Allah says How their ancestors worshipped.. What did the Pharaoh say? He said we came out of the muddy waters of the Nile. What did the Sumerians say? They said by coincidence. What do present-day people say? They say the same. Allah says that they did the same.
We gave Moses the Book and people differed concerning it and had it not been for a prior Word from your Lord, it would already have been decided between them. They are indeed in grave doubt about it. (Surah Hud, 110)
They are wary of the Qur'an and are not genuinely devoted to it. When the Prophet Moses (as) arrived he said that Allah created everything that Pharaoh and his people saw. Pharaoh said life appeared by chance from the muddy waters of the Nile. The Prophet Moses (as) was unable to respond in terms of paleontological discoveries, chromosomes or the structure of protein. There was no scientific background and anyone to understand it. The only thing they would understand was to see creation right away. When he threw his staff onto the ground it turned into a snake. The first thing he thus eliminated, the first idol he smashed, was the idea of evolution. The Prophet Moses (as) demolished evolution with a single piece of evidence. Pharaoh asked how people who lived before had come into being. The Prophet Moses (as) said that in the same way that piece of wood had turned into a snake, Allah had created people by the same law in earlier times. That evidence of his even convinced those scientists who engaged in sorcery. The scientists who did sorcery in the Prophet Moses' (as) time were rather different. They were also evolutionists and manufactured false evidence. They even stuffed a piece of skin to look like a snake and made it wriggle around in order to convince people. What do Darwinists do? The manufacture Piltdown Man, stick the pieces together and stain them up. But I smashed that idol with the Atlas of Creation. The Atlas of Creation meant the end of an era, and a new age dawned. The Prophet Moses (as) first eliminated the religion of polytheism, the main religion, and then moved on to the subject at hand.

Pretty sure it was ladysewforus. That's what fettdad had.
Nope, that is not one of mine, nor one of Carole's. Our zipper is covered with a flap.
oops maybe I should keep my mouth shut if I dont know for sure haha. sorry debi.
i do, well did, but it was the one i was going to wearing...i bought this one for my mannequin...
That's a skygunbro flight suit.
Here is my SGB suit, for reference. (This picture was taken 2 years ago.)
The zipper and collar look like it might be an Evolution suit.
The ruffles around the mid section can be easily removed from skygunbro's suit, which is what I did before dying the suit for the Jeremy Bulloch Project, I had also dyed extra material for batninja to make the zipper cover flap. After that, skygunbro started making his suits without the ruffles. :thumbsup
Is it happens to be a Evolution suit, it's a knock off of skygunbro's, as many and or all of Evolution's Boba / Jango props are.
the guy i bought the suit from is trying to find out from who he bought it from the original maker...??? i have no clue what suit it is, but it is made very sturdy, and everything seems to be well placed...the material isnt heavy, but isnt light either...whoever made it, did a decent job on it...
I'd hate to say it but I think its a StarFortress suit. I've seen a few of em and they have the same stupid pleated flap at the waist.
I have a SFP suit, it does look similar; not 100% sure though.
it does look like an SFP. can you get a picture of the stitching?

Sound farfetched? In some ways we are already there. Aside from Apple's claims against its iPhone and iPad the entire Ultrabook phenomenon is built around copying the recipe behind the MacBook Air. Intel is the driving force behind it and the approach makes sense given the dearth of creativity shown by its partners up to now, but should they succeed there will be even less incentive for creativity afterwards. Replica MacBook's will be seen everywhere… unless Apple wins its Samsung court case, resets its sights and forces a rethink.
And rethinking is great. Perhaps the most radical rethinking has been going on at rejuvenated Microsoft. Succeed or fail, no-one can accuse Microsoft of copying Apple with Windows Phone or Windows 8 nor can its inventive Surface tablet be seen as ripping off the iPad. Look further back and there is Kinect and Xbox Live. Again, there is more than one way to skin a cat.
In essence it all comes down to brand identity. The car industry is a good example. Just because Ferrari puts out a sensational new model does not mean BMW, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Audi and Rolls Royce all rush out to mimic it. The idea would be preposterous, an insult to their heritage and customer base. Each has the confidence to believe it can counter Ferrari with something better doing it the BMW-way, the Mercedes-way, the Aston Martin-way, the Audi-way, the Rolls Royce-way and so on.
Besides not everyone wants a Ferrari, there are BMW people, Mercedes people, Aston Martin people - you get the idea. For the time they have now been in existence, more of our biggest technology companies should have established such brand identities and customer allegiances as well.
Happily it isn't all doom and gloom. As we have said Apple has its identity, so does Google and Microsoft is forging a new one. Similarly there are the likes of Loewe, Bose, Sonos and *cough* RIM. It can be done, companies can think harder, can spend more time in creative meetings and less time studying Apple keynotes. But do you trust them to do so?
If Apple beats Samsung you won't have to. Stricter laws will mean companies are forced to pursue their own paths and 'can' will be transformed into 'must'. This is a good thing, it resets the rules for everyone - including any future copyright infringements by Apple, something of which Xerox would approve. Let's hope the jury can see the big picture, the 'tech' in technicality must stop…

The importance of Remembrance Day
10 November 2013 , 10:22 AM by Rob Minshull
Rembrance Day is a time for reflection, a moment spent in silence and with gratitude for those who fought and died in war and armed conflict.
Less a year before we mark the centenary of the First World War and the historians are busy, the commemorations are being planned and the details finalised. But why is Remembrance Day so important and what does it say about our national identity?
Mat McLachlan is one of Australia's leading war historians and battlefield guides.

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma View : Stages of Purification, etc.
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @SariputtaDhamma/JTN]
CMA IX, p. 345-347:
In insight meditation, the compendium of purifications is sevenfold: 1) purification of virtue, 2) purification of mind, 3) purification of view, 4) purification by overcoming doubt, 5) purification by knowledge and vision as to what is the path and what is not the path, 6) purification by knowledge and vision of the way, and 7) purification by knowledge and vision.
These seven stages of purification are to be attained in sequence, each being the support for the one that follows. The first purification corresponds to the morality aspect of the path, the second to the concentration aspect, the last five to the wisdom aspect. The first six stages are mundane, the last is the supramundane paths.
The characteristic of impermanence is the mode of rise and fall and change, that is, reaching non-existence after having come to be. The characteristic of suffering is the mode of being continuously oppressed by rise and fall. The characteristic of non-self is the mode of being insusceptible to the exercise of mastery, that is, the fact that one cannot excercise control over the phenomena of mind and matter.
There are three contemplations: the contemplation of impermanence, the contemplation of suffering, and the contemplation of non-self.
There are ten kinds of insight knowledge [vipassanaa~naa.na]: 1) knowledge of comprehension [sammasana~naa.na.m], 2) knowledge of rise and fall (of formations), 3) knowledge of dissolution (of formations), 4) knowledge of dissolving things as fearful, 5) knowledge of (fearful) things as dangerous [aadiinava~naa.na.m], 6) knowledge of disenchantment (with all formations) [nibbidaa~naa.na.m], 7) knowledge of desire for deliverance, 8) knowledge of reflecting contemplation, 9) knowledge of equanimity towards formations, and 10) knowledge of conformity [anuloma~naa.na.m].
There are three emancipations [vimokkha]: the void emancipation, the signless emancipation, and the desireless emancipation.
There are three doors to emancipation: contemplation of the void, contemplation of the signless, and contemplation of the desireless.
The above categories will be explained in the course of this series of Abhidhamma View.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

For the 18 men aboard the French merchant ship Rose Emelye, the evening of August 23, 1718, was shaping up to be as routine as the 167 that had preceded it since they'd left Nantes. They'd spent the spring following the winds and currents across the Atlantic to tropical Martinique, and much of the summer unloading French cargo and taking on bags of cocoa and barrels of freshly refined sugar. Now they were following the Gulf Stream home in the company of another French merchant ship, La Toison d'Or, sailing just a stone's throw behind and to leeward. The American mainland had disappeared behind the horizon days before. The next day would raise Bermuda above the horizon, the final waypoint before making landfall in Europe.
Then, as the sun sank low in the sky, someone spotted sails bearing down on their stern.
Over the next three hours the sky grew dark and the vessel drew ever closer. To the Frenchmen's relief, it was a tiny vessel: a sloop with Spanish lines better suited to shuttling cargo between Caribbean islands than to crossing an ocean. Still, something wasn't right. What was it doing out here in the open ocean, and why was it on an intercept course with the Frenchmen's much larger oceangoing merchant ships? As the mysterious sloop overtook them and pulled alongside, they knew they would have answers soon enough.
In the last moments, Capt. Jan Goupil would have seen three cannon muzzles rolled out of gun ports on the tiny sloop's sides and dozens of armed men crowded on its decks. He ordered his crew of 17 to prepare for action, getting Rose Emelye's four cannons to the ready. Remove yourselves, Goupil's mate cried out to the men on the sloop, or we will fire!
On the tiny sloop, a tall, slim man with a long black beard barked out an order. His helmsman threw the tiller hard to lee, men released ropes, and, sails briefly flapping, the strange vessel suddenly swung hard about, shooting by in the opposite direction.
Goupil's skin may have turned cold. The sloop—the pirate sloop—swept down to the unarmed Toison d'Or. Minutes later the vessels' wooden hulls came together with a moan. Pirates swarmed over the gunwales and onto the ship's decks, seizing the crew, perhaps as human shields. The bearded man had fooled him. Now he found himself facing not one attacker but two.
Soon the bearded man was alongside again and his men discharged their cannons. Musket balls flew over Goupil's head. There was nothing to be done. He turned Rose Emelye into the wind, drifted to a halt and surrendered his command.
Blackbeard, the notorious pirate, had captured two vessels more than twice the size of his own—a feat described here for the first time. He could not have known that these would be the last prizes of his career and that in just three months he and most of his crew would be dead.
Out of all the pirates who've trolled the seas over the past 3,000 years, Blackbeard is the most famous. His nearest rivals—Capt. William Kidd and Sir Henry Morgan—weren't really pirates at all, but privateers, mercenaries given permission by their sovereign to attack enemy shipping in time of war. Blackbeard and his contemporaries in the early 18th-century Caribbean had nobody's permission to do what they were doing; they were outlaws. But unlike the aristocrats who controlled the British, French and Spanish colonial empires, many ordinary people in Britain and British America saw Blackbeard and his fellow pirates as heroes, Robin Hood figures fighting a rear-guard action against a corrupt, unaccountable and increasingly tyrannical ruling class. So great were these pirates' reputations—daring antiheroes, noble brigands—that they've been sustained ever since, inspiring 18th-century plays, 19th-century novels, and 20th- and 21st-century motion pictures, television shows and pop culture iconography. In his lifetime, Blackbeard—who terrorized the New World and died in a shipboard sword fight with sailors of the Royal Navy—captivated the public imagination like no other. He has never let it go.
And yet Blackbeard's life and career have long been obscured in a fog of legend, myth and propaganda, much of it contained in a mysterious volume that emerged shortly after his death: A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates. Nobody knows for sure who wrote the book—which was published pseudonymously in 1724—but the General History almost single-handedly informed all the accounts that have come since. Parts of it are uncannily accurate, drawn word-for-word from official government documents. Others have been shown to be complete fabrications. For researchers, it has served as a treasure map, but one that leads to dead ends as often as it does to verifiable evidence, which scholars covet like gold.
In recent years, however, researchers have dug up new evidence, buried in the archives of England, France and the Americas, or beneath the sands of the American coast, allowing them to piece together a fuller and extremely compelling picture of Blackbeard and his cohorts, one that shows him to have been a canny strategist, a master of improvisation, a showman, a natural leader and an extraordinary risk taker. "Researchers are often drifting around without a rudder not sure what pirate stories are real," says underwater explorer Mike Daniel, president of the Maritime Research Institute in Jupiter, Florida, who found the never-before-published account of the Rose Emelye's capture buried in the Archives Départementales de Loire-Atlantique in Nantes in 2008. "Then all of a sudden you find documents like these and it's like finding an island. There are solid facts beneath your feet."
Many of the discoveries shed light on the final months of Blackbeard's life, when he executed a series of daring schemes that, for a time, kept him one step ahead of his enemies as the golden age of piracy was collapsing all around him. They go a long way in explaining why a pirate active for, at most, five years has managed to grip the public's attention for nearly three centuries.
Of late, pirates are everywhere. Disney is planning the fifth installment of its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, while the fourth installment of the multi-billion-dollar Assassin's Creed video game series is entitled "Black Flag." (I worked on the game as a script consultant.) And there are two new television series: "Black Sails," which premiered in January on Starz, and, launching this winter on NBC, "Crossbones," which features John Malkovich as Blackbeard and is based on my 2007 nonfiction book, The Republic of Pirates.

Not many people could complete a challenge like that, not many of us wouldn't want to. But it does show you, David Walliams is just a very strong swimmer, not an Olympic swimmer. Swimming is a great all round exercise and no, it's not a good idea to take a dip in a fast flowing river, but taking up swimming in your local pool is a great idea if you want to get in shape. It's kinder to your body, your boobs are supported by the water, so the bounce that you get when you take part in aerobic exercise is eliminated before you even start. Swimming will boost your metabolism, it firms all of your muscle groups and burns calories. And the best bit? It doesn't put any stress on your joints as it creates weightlessness, so you can swim happily everyday without injury. Swimming can also help keep you young, research shows regular swimmers are biologically up to 20 years younger than their actual age.
So if you need any more reasons to take it up, how about Bravissimo's brand new styles of swimwear that are in our stores now. They are so gorgeous, you will be happy parading up and down at your local poolside. The Paradise Swimsuit by Faubourg in red palm is a stunning swimsuit, the tropical print is based on the Kashmir Swimsuit from last autumn. It is underwired and very flattering with a sexy plunging neckline, it has adjustable ties at the neck, this swimsuit is exclusive to Bravissimo.
The Monroe Halter Swimsuit by Panache will look fabulous in the pool or at the beach, it has a fifties look and is on trend with its lovely polka dot print and is available in chocolate/cream. This swimsuit is super flattering and is underwired and will flatter your shape also giving great support. It has a cream panel, which sits under the bust creating a nipped in waist.
The Premier Ultimate Swimsuit by Speedo is a great sports swimsuit if you are a serious swimmer, it has a supportive built-in bra and is a very flattering fit. The fabric used is chlorine resistant and is very comfortable. We have received wonderful reviews on this swimsuit, it is available to buy in, aqua/black, black/pink and ink/pop pink.
Come on in girls, the water's lovely.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I have always thought that Chevy either had and abundance of 283 blocks left over or an abundance of 327 cranks or they needed to keep running either or both of those parts to pay out tooling costs.
As far as the 305, it was obviously a mileage motor using the 3.48" stroke crank to bring torque readings up a little to move the heavier cars/trucks and still get decent mileage.
Just for interest some circle track associations require the 305 to keep performance and expense more equal and costs down..
|yep, the 327 was the street choice in them days. then the 350 took its place. and did it well.if i had a 305 or a 307 id run em. no prolem. but a street car dont have to be all that fast for me. i dont care for a dog but even a 300 hp build is plenty to push one along.most folks never experience 300 hp. any engine can be improved in power. the 350 is proly the cheapest power out there. i like em but i aint gona use one in my chevy. maby a big block. im not a cookie cutter guy. hahaha..nothin wrong with the 350 at all. i just dont want to raise my hood and see the same engine in most hot rods.
|pre 1967 the 307 was popular as a stroker 283. in 1967 GM brought out the 350 and even the 327s popularity went down
|off subject a bit but the 69 dz 302 was a little screamer. course today its no big deal but in its day it took little to get that sucker really runnin.out of the box they were dang tough to beat in two bits.
I had a 307 in my 69 Chevelle and amount of money I spent of building a performance 307 was a lot. The result I end up was replacing it with a 350.
Had I started with a 350 it would be cheaper in the long run. To do the work on a 307 it would cost the same of doing the same work on a 350. 283 and 307 were the same engine. 2 barrel, 1.72" intake *****ty heads, small cam. Just a 1/4" stroke. Get a 350 4 barrel and you already gain 100 Horsepower right off the bat. As 305 goes, it is no different.The motors are the same family. 350 is just cost effective. 350 are a dime a dozen in junk yards.
I've owned both. A 305 in a '77 Nova and a 307 in a '72 Nova. Both were good daily drivers, neither would break the rear tire (yes I said "tire") loose without dumping water under them.
I installed headers on both with header mufflers. They sounded good and overall I was happy with them. But performance isn't a word I would use to describe either of them.
|i think they were a boo boo. 305-307.not great mpg or power. the 327 move to 350 was cool but those inbetweens seem lost. i like em, you can build em. but they are kinda like a red headed step child of an engine.course they can haul *** , their chevys !!!when you do see one haulin *** its cool. them hot rods dont have to be super fast to be cool. they are street cars.course we all love power. i like a car that turns out for its intended purpose.power or mpg built.i dont like em so dang radical that you have to take off at 3-4 grand either. not to drive. ive done it. it sux.big boo boo
|against all odds
My theory is that it is so much easier to get performance out of the 350, why bother with the 305/7.
Some performance cars, however, did come from the factory with 305's; Monte carlo SS, Z-28's transams etc. All of these could run mid to low 15's which, comparatively speaking to 350 equipped cars and others, is/was pretty good.
My 70 model Nova came with a 307 2bbl three speed standard. It had 17,000 miles on it when I got it. I installed a Tarantula intake Holley 1850 carb, Crower hydraulic camshaft and rev kit, Cyclone headers, Mallory dual point and a Muncie four speed. Car would run 13.50 quarter miles times all day long. Drove it back and forth every two weeks from Beaumont Texas to Abilene Texas for over a year with weekly trips to the Abilene drag strip. I wish I still had it.
Because in every line up you have to have your economy engines as well.
The 307 was created by taking two small blocks and combining them.
The 307 has the bore of a 283 @ 3.875 and the stroke of a 327 @ 3.250.
It came with a single exhaust, 2 barrel only carb, small valve big chamber wheezer heads, dirt low 8.5:1 compression ratio, low ignition timing and last but not least, a set of snail high rear gears around a 2.73 ratio. The only good thing the engine got was bad, which was a 300 horsepower 327 cam. However when used with low performance parts it didn`t help matters any. The next bad thing to happen which gave 307`s a really lousy rep was the cams went flat prematurely usually taking out the rest of the engine with it.
As for the 305, it has come in some "performance" applications, but they weren`t anything to brag on. The 305 was made using the 350`s stroke, but a small bore. The bore is 3.736 inches and the stroke is 3.480 inches. This
engine came along in 1976. It was deemed a good idea at the time because chevy needed a engine that was small displacement, made enough power and met emission standards for the time and the 305 did that. Chevy also got adventurous during the later years when they tried a 262 cube small block that was a failure, then later a 267 cubic incher that was also a failure. Both were discontinued after 2 years of use.
Chevy discontinued the 307 in 1973. The 307 can be built into a excellant performance platform with the right pieces. take a 305 and a 307, put a equal amount of cash into them both, then install them in identical cars with identical gears, the 307 will blow the 305`s doors off. The small bore of the 305 hurts breathing potential. The 305 was dropped from production in 2000.
The next question, why don`t many hot rodders build 307`s and 305`s?
Why put the money into small cubic inches when you can build a 350 not only cheaper but will make more power? If I were building a daily driver street engine where fuel economy was important I would use a 305 with a factory roller cam. Add the right pieces to it with the right rear gears and it`ll deliver excellant fuel economy and good power in a V8 package. I`ll likely never build a 307, they`re hard to find now days and they didn`t come with a roller cam block and all I use is rollers. Mostly I rob the crank out of`em, have it balanced, get a 1 piece to 2 piece seal adapter and slap the crank in a Vortec 350 block.
305s 307s
Hello,These are my thoughts on this, We used to say," There is no replacement for displacement" 307 had a decent stroke, same as a 327, and 305 was the same as 350, but both had small bores, so it was allot easier and cheaper to find a 350 to replace it,350s were everywhere in the junk yards, and if you were lucky it was a 4 bolt main,put in a nice cam,intake and holley and have some fun..... Just my thoughts
|Moving to general discussion in the Lounge.
Why weren't chevy 307's and 305's used as performance engines?
When I grew up in the 80's, there were still LOTS and LOTS of 68-72 Chevelles and '68-'74 Novas around. I used to joke that you could walk over a busy highway overpass, be blindfolded, and drop a tennis ball over the overpass, and chances are you'd hit a Chevelle or a Nova! Even in the mid to late 80's....
Anyway, many of these cars came stock with 307's, and still had the 307 badges. In fact, my step-father owned a Chevelle with a 307, and I also had 2 other friends who owned Chevelles that came with 307's originally. Not to mention the people I knew who owned 307 equipped Novas.
However, when It came time to try and increase the performance of these cars, it seemed the first thing everyone did was to get rid of the 307, and replace it with anything from a 283-302-327-350, etc.
I asked why this was, and I was told by more than 1 person that the 307 was a completely different engine than the 283-327-350-400 gen 1 small block, and that it just wasnt any good for performance.
Later I learned that the 307 was in fact a member of that same gen 1 family, so why didnt people seem to like the 307?
Then we have the 305.......
I was also told by many of the same not-so-knowledgeable people that the 305 was also a different engine than the 350, etc., and wasnt much good for performance, even though it was used by GM as a standard equipment performance engine in the 80's-early 90's in several cars. However, many people still seemed to want to remove it and replace it with a 350.
Now, I can understand why someone would replace a smaller engine for a larger displacement engine, but that didnt seem to be the primary reason that people were replacing these 2 engines.... In fact, I met 2 different people who built 283's, and swore by them! Obviously a 283 is smaller than a 305 or 307, so why not use the 305 or 307 if its made from the same engine family?
There is also the 400 Chevy, and I know another guy who owned a '73 Nova who replaced its original engine with a modified 400, but it didnt last too long... The 400 supposedly has such a big bore that it effects coolant passages and wall thickness, which is bad for high horsepower purposes.

230 Volt FLEX XC 3401 VRG Orbital Variable Speed Polisher
The orbital rotation of the FLEX Polisher simulates the circular movement of the human hand while polishing. This motion is less likely to cause holograms than a rotary buffer. At the same time, the polisher's highly smooth running facilitates a careful, precise finish and allows for hologram-free polishing. The positive drive ensures a uniform movement, even under load, thanks to constant lift. Taken in conjunction with the large stroke length the FLEX can remove existing holograms from black finishes. The large stroke length refers to the size of the orbit. On many dual action polishers, this is a very small distance and therefore you feel a jiggling motion. On the FLEX polisher, the stroke length is 8 mm, a huge distance in terms of orbital polishers! The FLEX Dual-Action Polisher has a true dual action motion that reduces vibration. The FLEX Orbital Polisher's smooth acceleration and uniform, controlled motion make this DA machine ideal for novices and pros alike. The FLEX XC3401 dual action polisher comes with a 5.5 Inch Hook & Loop Backing Plate and a 1 year manufacturer warranty.

It seems recently there has been a trend towards downsizing that is, quite frankly, alarming. What ever happened to the days of 5,000 square-foot McMansions packed to the rafters with little porcelain figurines in curio cabinets and formal dinnerware with place settings for 30?
It used to be that you could tell a person's wealth by the number of throw pillows on their 20-foot sectional sofas. Now it's all about more tastefully-sized homes with nicer amenities and far less cabinet space to display your tin cannister collection.
Come on, people. Let's put an end to this craziness and get back to the old ways. Buy a bunch of this stuff. Together, we will ensure that socially irresponsible consumerism lives on forever.

713-213-4286 email@example.com
University of St. Thomas is pleased to announce that Dr. Dominic Aquila, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, is one of 23 senior-level administrators in higher education nationwide selected by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to participate in a year-long Executive Leadership Academy.
Individuals chosen for the program are vice presidents or cabinet officers in higher education who aspire to the presidency of an independent college or university. Aquila will participate in two seminars held in Washington, DC, as well as readings, webinars, and a mentoring program. In addition, he will develop an experiential learning plan focused on specific areas of presidential responsibility.
The purpose of the Academy is to prepare provosts and vice presidents to serve as effective college presidents. "Competition for the available places in the program was intense," said CIC President Richard Ekman. "The review committee found the nomination materials to be most impressive. They (and I) believe that Aquila has the potential for highly effective leadership as a college or university president."
Aquila has 32 years of experience in public and private higher education. Aquila is also a Trustee of the American Academy of Liberal Education, the Crossroads Cultural Center, a member of the Council of Independent Colleges Chief Academic Officer and Chief Financial Office Task Force, and the Children at Risk Institute.
His areas of research and expertise include music and culture, Catholicism and American culture, and higher education administration. He can also speak on American and European History. Education
"We are very pleased to see Dr. Aquila's selection for this prestigious development program," said Dr. Robert Ivany, University of St. Thomas President. "His attendance reflects his dedication to higher education and national recognition as a leader in the field of higher education."
Since the program began in the 2009–2010 academic year, several vice presidents have become presidents. "These indicators suggest that CIC is helping to meet the leadership needs of higher education by offering highly effective leadership development programs for modest fees to member institutions," Ekman said.
The Academy is co-sponsored by CIC, the American Academic Leadership Institute, and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities with financial support from Academic Search, Inc. and the Henry Luce Foundation. Tom Kepple, president of AALI and president emeritus of Juniata College (PA), is the program director.

Teacher Certification Cohort 18
How long have you wanted to be a teacher?
I've known that I wanted to be a teacher for most of my life, though my desire to pursue teaching became very clear to me about two years ago as I was finishing my undergraduate degree.
How do you think you'll feel the first time you step in front of a class?
I think I'll feel very intimidated and very excited when I first step in front of a class!
What do you think your students will like best about you?
My students will like my patience and kindness best about me.
What was your background coming into the program?
I completed the Education Minor at UWB during my undergraduate coursework, and as a result I had been spending a lot of time in elementary schools volunteering and I loved it!
Where did you go to elementary school?
Lake Forest Park Elementary
What does the word "cohort" mean to you?
After being in this program, "cohort" means a very supportive group of people working together towards a common goal.
What will you miss most about UW Bothell when you finish your program?
I will miss my cohort more than anything, but overall, the support that I have been getting from faculty and classmates. Though, I'm not anticipating losing that support completely.
Where would you most like to take a class of students outside of school?
There are so many places to choose from, but I think I would have to pick the Waste Management site in which students can see the recycling process up close.

I've Always Wanted To Know:
How does a GPS work?
GPS or Global Positioning System, is a group of 24 satellites that are in high earth orbit which are used with a GPS receiver to show your location on the planet. The system was completed in 1994 and today you can find handheld GPS units, car mounted units, cell phone GPS and even cameras with built in GPS functionality. How does it work though?
The answer is surprisingly simple (and complicated at the same time): triangulation. Triangulation uses the distance from multiple points to determine the posistion of an object. Let's say you had a friend who was lost. If you knew your friend was 50 feet from his house, 200 feet from the shopping mall and 275 feet from the movie theater there is only one location which could be all of those things. Below is an image I made showing circles for each of the distances. There is only one space where all 3 circles overlap and that's where your friend is!
A GPS receiver works the same way but by using how far you are away from the GPS satellites. But how does a GPS receiver know how far it is from a satellite?
The GPS satellites in orbit transmit a signal with a very accurate telling of the time. The GPS receiver then looks at the time the GPS satellite says it is compared to the time the GPS received the signal and can calculate how far away the satellite must of been because the signal travels at a constant speed. Once the GPS has a few different satellite signals it can do the triangulation by saying "I'm 12,185.00048 miles from this satellite and I'm 11,495.1835 miles from this second satellite and I'm 11,382.8513 miles from this third satellite so I must be here."
This type of system is powered by amazingly accurate atomic clocks in the GPS satellites and powerful computer chips that can read and do the equations necessary for calculating distance and location hundreds of times per minute. Just how precise are these clocks? The GPS satellite clocks are accurate to 10 nanoseconds or 1 billionth of a second.
Amazing huh? Next time you're lost think of the amazing technology that goes into finding your way home!
