BQ Hephestos - Latest Evolution of Prusa i3
5 or more $690 USD
10 or more $680 USD
20 or more $670 USD
Prusa 3D printer Hephestos is an open source 3D printer designed and developed by the bq Department of Innovation and Robotics. Hephestos is based on the Prusa i3 and adds several improvements to other printers like PowerCode. Parts were developed by the RepRap community with modifications and new parts added by bq.
bq is proud to present the latest evolution of the Prusa i3, the most popular 3D printer in the RepRap community. bq's more advanced version, Hephestos, offers significant improvements: a kit that includes all the parts you need, manuals for step-by-step assembly and an active support service via bq's 3D forum to help with any queries you might have. In other words, the best printing at the best price with the easiest setup.
Lead Time: 1 Week. Shipping from Miami, USA.
The key innovation of the Hephestos is its cable-tidy. This enables us to position the cables at the top and rear of the device, ensuring they don´t interfere with the printer movements.
We have also achieved greater protection against burns by eliminating the heated bed and adding a protector to the extruder (the same one we designed for the Witbox). And since there is no heated bed, the energy consumption of the printer barely reaches 60 W.
We have chosen PLA as the printing material, as it can be used in a domestic environment without having to worry about odours (unlike other materials such as ABS). What´s more, PLA is a material that provides the best results in a short space of time.
Open Source and parts designed by bq:
The hardware of the Prusa i3 Hephestos is 100% open source, meaning you can modify it and adapt it however you like. bq is committed to expanding the RepRap community and they are keen to share all of their improvements, without restricting knowledge. All the improvements made to the printer have been made public. All the new parts can be downloaded free of charge.
We have taken the best of each version of this type of printer and have even added value with new parts designed by bq. The goal is to provide sturdiness, usability and ease of use during the product assembly.
Some of the new improvements are:
The complete kit has 7 parts (internal kits). All of these parts are identified and have the necessary components to facilitate the comprehension of the part to assemble and the identification of the components included.
This kit contains everything necessary to update the Prusa i3 Y-axis and obtain a larger print area of 20 x 30 cm and a more solid structure at the front and rear of the Y-axis.
Please note: The printed pieces are not included. To take advantage of the surface area of the long base you will need to update the printer firmware. Download it here.
Box contents:
Filaflex is a filament that enables elastic parts to be created and printed in 3D, without any need to modify your printer.
1.75mm diameter PLA plastic coil. Contains 1kg of filament. 100% Poly-Lactic Acid (PLA).

Silly: Quote From Anonymous State Dept. Official Turned Into Declaration Of "Surrender"
Research ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Right-wing media have seized on a National Journal report quoting an anonymous State Department official saying that "the war on terror is over" to claim that President Obama has "surrendered." In fact, both Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have repeatedly emphasized their commitment to "eliminat[ing] terrorism" and have repeatedly said "we are at war" with Al Qaeda and other extremists.
National Journal Quotes Anonymous State Dept. Official Saying "The War On Terror Is Over"
National Journal: "One Senior State Department Official" Said " 'The War On Terror Is Over.' " From an April 23 post by Michael Hirsh on a National Journal blog:
In an article in the current National Journal called "The Post Al Qaida Era," I write that the Obama administration is taking a new view of Islamist radicalism. The president realizes he has no choice but to cultivate the Muslim Brotherhood and other relatively "moderate" Islamist groups emerging as lead political players out of the Arab Spring in Egypt, Tunisia and elsewhere. (The Muslim Brotherhood officially renounced violence decades ago, leading then-dissident radicals such as Ayman al-Zawahiri to join al Qaida.)
It is no longer the case, in other words, that every Islamist is seen as a potential accessory to terrorists. "The war on terror is over," one senior State Department official who works on Mideast issues told me. "Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism." [NationalJournal.com, 4/23/12]
"[Obama] Has Surrendered": Right-Wing Attack Obama Over Anonymous Quote
Drudge: "ADMIN: 'War On Terror Is Over' ..." On April 23, the Drudge Report linked to the National Journal post with the following headlines:
[DrudgeReportArchives.com, 4/24/12]
Breitbart.com: "Obama Is Truly Declaring An End To The War On Islamism. ... He Has Surrendered." From an April 23 post on Breitbart.com's Big Peace:
Today, the National Journal reported that a senior State Department official has announced, "The war on terror is over."
"Now that we have killed most of al Qaida," the source said, "now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism."
The article itself describes the Obama administration's new vision of foreign policy, which admits no enemies. Everyone, in this view, is a friend. Islamism, says the Obama administration, is just fine, so long as it does not openly support terrorism.
In truth, Obama isn't declaring an end to the war on terror -- terrorism continues unabated each day in Egypt and the Palestinian territories and Iraq and Afghanistan and Sudan and Yemen and Syria and Lebanon and a dozen other hotspots around the globe. Obama is truly declaring an end to the war on Islamism. He has made his peace; he has surrendered. In doing so, he has condemned broad swaths of the world to darkness, and more immediately, he has condemned America to a defensive position in the world. Now there is no proactive America shaping the world to her own ends. Now there is only an atomistic world, a series of billiard balls, in which America waits to be struck before bouncing back. [Big Peace, Breitbart.com, 4/23/12]
Kilmeade: Obama Admin. Is Saying That Now "Those Islamic Extremists That Had To Live In Caves" Can "Be President." From the April 24 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): Did you guys know that the war on terror is over?
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): Pop the champagne!
CARLSON: Yeah, I mean, all of those sort of efforts here in New York City alone to have a war on terror here, 10 plots, I think, that have been stopped by the NYPD here. Apparently all for naught, because the war on terror, according to one State Department official, is technically over. Here's the quote. "Now that we have killed most of Al Qaeda, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into Al Qaeda see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism."
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): So, fantastic. In other words, they're saying those Islamic extremists that had to live in caves?
DOOCY: Yeah.
KILMEADE: Now they can be president. That's the magic of Arab Spring and the -- where it's turning -- because our hands are off the bicycle seat.
DOOCY: Right.
KILMEADE: So how disturbing is this that the State Department feels this sentiment? At the same time, you've got simultaneous court cases going on -- talking about blowing up the Long Island Railroad, the subway bomber that was going to blow up four or five different lines at the same time, and more and more Americans going over to Pakistan to train. What are they training for?
DOOCY: Maybe it shouldn't be surprising. I mean, how long did this administration go before they would call them terrorists? They simply would not do that.
KILMEADE: Well, we don't pick up terrorists anymore, so we're not talking to anybody. We're letting our Al Qaeda guys play soccer in -- at Gitmo, so how do we even know if the war is over? We kill them all. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 4/24/12]
But Obama Has Repeatedly Said We Are "At War" With Al Qaeda And Other Terrorists ...
January 2009, Obama's Inaugural Address: "Our Nation Is At War Against A Far-Reaching Network Of Violence And Hatred." During his January 20, 2009, inaugural address, Obama said, "Our nation is at war against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred." He later added: "We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense. And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken -- you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you." [WhiteHouse.gov, 1/21/09]
March 2009: Obama: "To The Terrorists Who Oppose Us, My Message Is ... We Will Defeat You." During his March 27, 2009, speech about a "comprehensive, new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan," Obama said the U.S. was in Afghanistan because "al Qaeda and its allies -- the terrorists who planned and supported the 9/11 attacks -- are in Pakistan and Afghanistan." He later said:
OBAMA: So I want the American people to understand that we have a clear and focused goal: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either country in the future. That is the goal that must be achieved. That is a cause that could not be more just. And to the terrorists who oppose us, my message is the same: we will defeat you. [USNews.com, 3/27/09]
December 2009, Obama's Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech: "We Are At War," And "Negotiations Cannot Convince Al Qaeda's Leaders To Lay Down Their Arms." During his December 10, 2009, Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Obama referred to the "effort to defend ourselves and all nations from further attacks" and stated that "we are at war, and I'm responsible for the deployment of thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land." He later said:
OBAMA: I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world. A non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force may sometimes be necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason. [WhiteHouse.gov, 12/10/09]
March 2010: Obama: "Al Qaeda And Their Extremist Allies" Are "A Threat To People All Around The World." During a March 28, 2010, speech to the troops at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, Obama said, "Al Qaeda and their extremist allies are a threat to the people of Afghanistan and a threat to the people of America, but they're also a threat to people all around the world." He later said:
OBAMA: Our broad mission is clear: We are going to disrupt and dismantle, defeat and destroy al Qaeda and its extremist allies. That is our mission. And to accomplish that goal, our objectives here in Afghanistan are also clear: We're going to deny al Qaeda safe haven. We're going to reverse the Taliban's momentum. We're going to strengthen the capacity of Afghan security forces and the Afghan government so that they can begin taking responsibility and gain confidence of the Afghan people. [WhiteHouse.gov, 3/28/10]
May 2011: Obama: "Our Fight Is Focused On Defeating Al Qaeda And Its Extremist Allies. In That Effort, We Will Not Relent." During a May 25, 2011, speech that Obama gave in London to the U.K. Parliament, Obama said:
OBAMA: Terrorists have taken the lives of our citizens in New York and in London. And while al Qaeda seeks a religious war with the West, we must remember that they have killed thousands of Muslims
men, women and children
around the globe. Our nations are not and will never be at war with Islam. Our fight is focused on defeating al Qaeda and its extremist allies. In that effort, we will not relent, as Osama bin Laden and his followers have learned.
Obama later said, "[W]e will ensure that Afghanistan is never a safe haven for terror, but is instead a country that is strong, sovereign, and able to stand on its own two feet." [WhiteHouse.gov, 5/25/11]
March 2012: Obama: "We Can't Afford To Have Non-State Actors, Terrorists, Get Their Hands On Nuclear Weapons." During a joint speech President Obama gave with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Gilani in March 2012 at the Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, Obama said that "the United States and Pakistan have a host of mutual interests," including "combating terrorism, both internationally and in our respective countries." Obama later said, " I think that we all agree that given the threats that have been directed in Pakistan, the terrorism that has taken place on their own soil, and obviously our experiences with terrorism, we can't afford to have non-state actors, terrorists, get their hands on nuclear weapons that could end up destroying our cities or harming our citizens." [WhiteHouse.gov, 3/27/12]
... As Has Secretary Clinton
October 2009: Clinton: "We Feel Very Strongly ... That The Extremists And The Terrorists Who Deploy Violence Have To Be Defeated Wherever They Are." During an October 28, 2009, press conference in Pakistan with then-Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Clinton said:
CLINTON: These extremists are committed to destroying that which is dear to us as much as they are committed to destroying that which is dear to you and to all people. So this is our struggle as well, and we commend the Pakistani military for their courageous fight, and we commit to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Pakistani people in your fight for peace and security. We will give you the help that you need in order to achieve your goal.
Clinton later said in response to a reporter's question, "We feel very strongly, as the foreign minister said, that the extremists and the terrorists who deploy violence have to be defeated wherever they are. ... [T]his is, as the foreign minister said, a fight that cannot be avoided." [State.gov, 10/28/09]
October 2010: Clinton: U.S. And Pakistan "Are Working Closely Together With Governments Around The World ... To Eliminate Terrorism." During an October 2010 press conference in Washington, D.C., with Qureshi, Clinton said: "To build the kind of bright future that young Pakistanis deserve, people of courage must stand against these extremists. And our two governments are working closely together with governments around the world, and millions and millions of people who understand the threat that is posed, to eliminate terrorism." [State.gov, 10/22/10]
May 2011: Clinton: "It Is Especially Important That There Be No Doubt That Those Who Pursue A Terrorist Agenda ... Will Be Brought To Justice." During a May 2011 press conference with Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, Clinton said:
CLINTON: With respect to the ongoing efforts in Afghanistan, Usama bin Ladin's death sent an unmistakable message about the strength of the resolve of the international community to stand against extremism and those who perpetuate it. But let us not forget that the battle to stop al-Qaida and its affiliates does not end with one death. We have to renew our resolve and redouble our efforts not only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but around the world, because it is especially important that there be no doubt that those who pursue a terrorist agenda, the criminals who indiscriminately murder innocent people will be brought to justice. [State.gov, 5/5/11]
October 2011: Clinton: "Stopping Terrorism Is An Urgent Interest That" The U.S. And Pakistan "Share." During an October 2011 press conference with Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Clinton said: "We recognize and we sympathize with the fact that violent extremism has taken the lives of thousands of Pakistanis, also thousands of Americans and thousands of Afghans. So stopping terrorism is an urgent interest that we share." [State.gov, 10/21/11]
Right-Wing Media Have Previously Leveled Empty Attacks On Obama's Commitment To Fighting Terrorism
Right-Wing Media Falsely Claimed Obama Failed To Label Fight Against Terrorists "A War." Following Obama's January 7, 2010, speech about the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing, right-wing media falsely suggested that prior to that speech, Obama had not characterized the fight against terrorists as a "war." [Media Matters, 1/8/10]
Fox's Kilmeade Falsely Claimed Obama Was Neglecting War On Terrorism. On the May 4, 2010, broadcast of Fox & Friends, co-host Brian Kilmeade claimed President Obama wasn't serious about fighting terrorism because he was "reaching out" to the Muslim world and because Obama has said that America is not at war with Islam. [Media Matters, 5/4/10]
Conservative Media Spent Years Attacking Obama's Commitment To Fighting Terrorism And Calling Him Weak On Terror. Right-wing media have repeatedly suggested that Obama is not serious about defending America from terrorism threats. In March 2010, Fox News host Sean Hannity said that Obama was "weak" and "an appeaser." In January 2010, Fox News host Gretchen Carlson said that "when it comes to terror," the White House's "tone" is "not quite that serious." In August 2009, frequent Fox News guest Michael Scheuer said on Fox & Friends that Obama "obviously does not care" about "protecting Amercians." [Media Matters, 5/2/11]

Keeping your eye on the target is a whole lot easier with today's optics. Optimizing your hunting performance with the right scope requires understanding optic features and assessing your hunting preferences.
Hunting optics can range in price from $30 to $2,000 . . . with plenty of choices in-between. The decision of what to buy is made tougher because a 4 x 32 scope that costs $30 may not appear to be much different than one that costs $200.
Lenses are the major difference between hunting optics. The least expensive scopes typically use plastic lenses. The next step up in quality and price involves the use of glass lenses. Coatings added to glass lenses enhance brightness in low light situations and add a bit more cost. The most expensive optics use precision ground glass, similar to eye glasses.
Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when shopping for optics:
The power of a scope is described by two numbers that indicate its magnifying ability and the size of the lens.
A standard 4 x 32 scope will magnify an object up to 4 times larger than you could see with the naked eye. The 32 indicates that the lens diameter is 32 millimeters.
The larger the second number, the lens diameter, the more it will help brighten the view.
Fixed Power
The magnification set by the manufacturer.
Fixed power scopes are adequate for hunters who need a good view of 50 to 100 yards.
The most popular fixed scopes are 4 x 32.
Variable Power
More applicable to a wider range of uses.
Variable power scopes can be adjusted according to the field of view needed as well as the available light.
Variable scopes range from 1.5 magnification up to 25 times for long-range viewing and shooting.
Field of View
How much you can see through your scope at 1,000 yards.
Generally, the higher the magnification, the less the field of view.
This information is always printed either on the instruction sheet or directly on the scope.
Eye Relief
The distance between your eye and the scope, which allows you to achieve the entire field of view.Can be adjusted once you have your scope and have it mounted.
The final key to selecting the right scope is assessing how you hunt. Hunting in the woods with shadows and less light requires a different scope than hunting in open fields with plenty of sun. Think about how you hunt, where you hunt and what the typical conditions are. Selecting the right optics becomes a lot easier when you can match your hunting needs with the right lens, power and view.

|Living aboard is great here, Florida, in the winter, in the 70's this week.
frozen north
We have lived aboard in Mississauga, Ontario for eleven years, when it gets cold we turn up the heat
We shrink wrap the boat and that makes a big difference, we run hoses under water and to fill our tank we haul the hose up to the club house and feed water from there. Keeping the hose under water keeps it from freezing. We also have portable pumpout dolly.
the only time we get claustrophobic is when we stay ashore at one of our kids places for a weekend.
Dirt people scare me.
|We tend to do best in the winter by adjusting our latitude down to at least 30 degrees or less. 23 degrees of latitude puts us in the Exumas at George Town which is a little warmer than Maine in the summer. Take care and joy, Aythya crew
|Some condensation,but other than that it is not a problem. I use a ceramic space heater most of the time, when it gets real cold I go to my reverse cycle AC heater.
Winter Liveaboard
What is it like living on your boat in the winter ? Not really that much different than summer except a bit colder. The fans are put up and replaced by a space heater and dehumidifier.
Is it cold, hot, do you get ice on your boat ? I've never had ice form on the boat...dock does get frost sometimes but it's gone as soon as the sun comes out. I once had the heater set too high and woke up at 2:00 AM to an 80 degree cabin.
Is it tough being inside the boat all winter, do you find you have to get away sometimes ? I don't work anymore but spend much of my time preparing my boat for cruising and making my way from SF Bay to Florida. Even during the summer, I have to get away sometimes.
Do you sweep the snow off of the boat ? Snow?...what's snow? Oh, that white stuff skiers enjoy. It doesn't snow here.
Do you wrap your boat in plastic, and if so do you actually go out on deck during the winter, is it warmer ? I don't do plastic-wrap. Many of the liveaboards in my marina drape a tarp over their boom (ie creating a tent). I think this is so ghetto. It makes the marina look like a gypsy camp. Why not fix the leaks and wash the decks occasionally?
What are you pretending not to know ? Now how can I pretend not to know something if I tell you about it?
Like MattGardner, I live aboard in San Francisco Bay (see Vallejo). I've listed the major winter specific problems encountered and my solutions:
1) Heat... Last winter, I started off using an oil-filled heater. The time to initially heat the boat was several hours and recovery time after mainhatch opened (even briefly) was an hour. I switched to a cheap ($25) 1500watt space heater and it crapped out before the two month mark. The second ($65) 1500watt heater has been working great so far.
2) Condensation... This is linked to humidity levels. Any combustion, unless vented outside, will increase humidity. Cooking (ie boiling water) produces water vapor. Showering (unless you like cold ones) is a real problem. Heck, even breathing will produce humidity. Since I like to breath, eat, take warm showers, and have an unvented instant propane water heater; I started to have some condensation issues. So, I open the hatch when cooking or using hot water and leave the head hatch open. I also bought a small dehumidifier (pelter style that uses 25watts of power). With these measures I no longer have any condensation problems.
3) Insulation... I found my greatest heat loss was from hatches. After some quick work on some styrofoam with a utility knife, the problem was solved. I covered the foam in plastic (white trash bag) and placed them between the hatches and screens for overhead hatches. The screens did a nice job of holding the foam. This seemed to make a world of difference and had the side benefit of quieting the boat from the neighborhood party boats.
4) Leaks... Prior owners had moved some of the winches and clutches around on the cabin top. Whatever was used to seal the old holes didn't. Over the summer, I drilled out the old holes and filled them with epoxy. I can only hope I got them all. I also pulled out the windows (non-opening) and re-bedded them using silicone glue specifically for lexan. Still the windows leaked some. Since I've sealed them with aquarium glue, I've had no problems.
5) Pumping out... I move the boat every week to week-and-a-half to pump out. Sometimes, it rains here for almost two weeks straight. I've had to bite the bullet quite a few times and move the boat over to the pumpout and back in the middle of a rainstorm.
I will say last January was a bit scary when the winds were blowing almost 50 knots and the boat was heeling 10 degrees...and I hadn't even left the slip (and wasn't about to). But, just like sailing, the boat seemed to have less issues with the weather than the skipper.

winter liveaboard boat safety
Just curious, thinking about living aboard near vancouver canada. what do you suggest or is it a given that the engine be decommissioned and all the fresh water be cleared out of hoses etc, etc, if you would be planning on keeping the internal temperature warm enough for liveaboard conditions. I lived in a log cabin in southern ontario, canada for a winter with only wood burning stove for heat. When i would go away for a week and come back all the pipes would be frozen and i would have to start a fire and get the heat back up before using water. No big deal. Now back to a sailboat, if the tempurature is kept above freezing, would this be an issue for water/plumbing/tanks/engine/whatever else you can think of? Thinking more along the lines of not damaging anything on the boat. eg: water line break etc.
Thanks for your help.
|yes sir/mam. my appologies
You should probably start a new thread on this rather than hijacking this one. Would also highly recommend you read the post in my signature.

We live aboard in NYC and have a Hydronic heater and i just went ahead and installed a radiant floor which will see it's first winter coming up. The 2 year old knows no better and we shower and use the galley in the "clubhouse" a lot but otherwise we are pretty warm. We to use a dehumidifier, but hopefully the floor will put an end to most of the moisture.

I have a small block chev with a casting number of 3932386 ,
This number shows up as either one of the above engines .
The code on the front pad makes no sense to me .
TI105HM . The other number is 19111632.
When I look up the cast number TI105HM ...
There is no such code
There is every thing from TBS to TXC but no TI1
Thanks in advance ..

Thanks for the info ..
I guess I was looking at the wrong end of the code .
Here is the deal LOL
Helped a guy put this motor into a chev pickup a few years back .
He took it out of a write off pickup :??
Was told it was a rebuilt 327 .
Now the harmonic pulley came loose and ruined the crank .
There was no center bolt in the crank. or no hole with threads to put a bolt.
It was pressed on I guess ::????..
Anyway the motor has two different heads .
One is 3986336 .. and the other is 3932441 .
I want to rebuild this motor..
I have a set of 3991492 chevy heads to go it ;so at least the heads will match .
If I put the smaller heads on this will my horse power go up much
yes you can get more horses with smaller CC heads. The less CC in the heads the higher the compression you will get, resulting more horsepower. You just do not take 283 heads and put it on a 327 or 350. You raise the compression but it can't breath because of small ports and valves.
They are fairly matched
3991492 are 64CC high performance heads. It will wake up the engine.
hope this helps

you are helping alot to say the least ..
I use to have a book that told what the compression ratios were .
64cc . flat top .. 350 ;; Say 10 to 1 ( Not sure )
68 cc . dish .....350 ;; 8.5 to 1 etc..
Lent the book never got it back ..
I have to buy a crank .. pistons .. cam etc anyway
So will it make any difference in compression if I rebuild it as a 350 versus a 327 as far as keeping the compression within gas pump limits .
The heads I have are already rebuilt and ready to go .
So I need to keep the motor and cam within specs to match the heads ; IF that makes any sense .
Maybe have to use 350 dish versus flat top
Thanks in advance
You`ll have to confirm what year the block is, if it`s a pre 1968 block it`s a small journal crank and I don`t know of any small journal 350 cranks out there. Usually 9.5:1 is the safe limit on pump gas, but those of us adventurous enough to set a tight quench distance can get away with 10:1 compression. The 492 are decent heads, however, they don`t have hardened exhaust seats for use with unleaded gas if you didn`t have it done. In time the valve will pound away the seat. You can use a additive called lead substitute that comes in a bottle that does a little to help but not much. But using a bottle of it at every fill up gets expensive. If I were you I would sell the camel back heads and get some vortec heads. Vortecs are 30 horses over the camel backs.
Had the seated hardened when I bought them off a machine shop going out of business.. They were bare heads on a shelve ,,
I bought them done and ready to go .
The block is large journal.. And the casting was used for 302-327-and 350 in 1969.
So I guess I could even build a 302 .. If a person could find 302 flat tops .
Or 283 - 125 over
It was a four barrel motor ..
On the tappet pans it had 300 horse ..
IF a 1969 with the same same heads or cc heads had 250 horse with a 2 barrel carb ....
Does the four barrel alone make up the extra 50 horse ..
OR does the 250 horse motor have a different cam ect along with the two barrel vesus the four .
Also the van was a standard ..
And this motor came from an auto
In the 50`s 60`s and early 70`s, power was measured by "Gross" meaning on a dyno, with no accessories such as water pump, etc. It was set for it`s best timing curve for power, the carb was set rich and no exhaust.
In the early 70`s that was changed to "net" which was timing set "safe" which means low as you could go and it run, the carb was set lean, full choked exhaust system, full accessories. So when a engine was done on a "gross" figure and made 300 horses, you put it on the "net" and that figure dropped to about 210. I never seen a 300 horse 350 with 441 heads, all the 300 horse 350`s I ever seen had 041 casting heads and some had 492`s. The 441 casting smogger head had large 76cc chambers and these usually came on engines making around the 250 mark only in "gross" specs. However, no, a carb don`t make a 50 horse difference. Cams were also different. The Cam used in 300 horse 327`s used since the early 60`s was used well into the 70`s and came in almost all base engines and some medium performance engines. That cam was used in the 283, the 307, the 327 and the 350. Later on when emission standards got more strict this cam was dropped from production even so it just about had round lobes.
I still have the motor .. I took it out of a 1970 one ton.
Had it rebuilt .. And put it in a 1987 one ton van ....I am almost 100% sure it has the 76cc heads . And 2441 sounds familiar:??? Block was the 3970010 block
Four bolt main . Not a nice job getting a tappet cover off a van ;; BUT I may have too now ::))
Unless some one had an extra 300 horse sticker around .
Or the motor had the covers changed .. And those sticker were on them :????
But this van had no power steering .. No power brakes ..Standard trans with three on the tree . the tappet pans had no holes for pcv valve . No pollution pump .. Nothing . Just a four barrel carb .
So I thought maybe the extra horse power was because it did not have to drive anything like an auto transmission; lose anything for power brakes etc .
Because this motor had no hookups for my newer van .. I had to use an intake and valve covers for a 84 350 to make it hook up
But when the guy rebuilt it he said he used the ORIGINAL specs for a 300 horse motor. So he must have thought it was a 300 horse motor too..
So I guess I ""ASSUMED"" LOL there was different cams for the higher horsepower motor .
Now I have to look up the 041 casting /
Thanks for the help .. Maybe I will get this right in the end

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
Over half of all new diseases in humans since 1940 have jumped from animals to humans and researchers predict that the bulk of new and emerging diseases in humans over the next century will come from domestic animals and wildlife. Anthropozoonoses are diseases that effect both humans and animals, allowing the animals to serve as reservoirs for re-emerging diseases and sources of new diseases. Changes to the environment affect the transmissibility of these diseases, as well as human and animal migration patters. All three – human health, animal health, and environmental health – are interrelated and to fully understand any one, one must look at them all. Until recently medical doctors, veterinarians and ecologists kept to themselves. Not anymore. One Health Initiative, which recognizes the inter-relationships among human, animal, and environmental health and seeks to enhance communication, cooperation, and collaboration in integrating these areas for the health and well-being of all species.

text: Flyboy, what do you mean by offgas?Interesting seeing the brass coated in shellac. I've used it over copper inlay before. The copper darkened but so far hasn't turned green. I've also used it over abalone inlay, giving it a slightly darker colouring. I've used both the orange flakes and a hard blonde premix. We even went to an aviation supplier to buy the purest alcohol. Shop-bought is 95% only which I'm sure is adequate, but if you can find 100% that is ideal. Shellac and water really don't go well together.Mainly I've used shellac on musical instruments - fiddle, dulcimers, hurdy gurdy- walking sticks, and a dogfood box.Shellac has so many uses but I don't think on the outside of beehives it will be useful at all.Lone

Had an awesome tattoo session yesterday of a piece I've been wanting a LONG time, the skull emblem (Mythosaur?) on Boba's left shoulder plate. Since I am in the very final stages of my ROTJ suit it just had to happen! The artist is an incredibly talented guy, Sean Meraw, who's in eastern Canada but did a guest spot at my friends shop here in the West. I gave him reference for the shape but told him to do his thing and make it look like a real skull of an animal, this is what came out, could not be more happy with it!!
Few in progress shots I brought my helmets along to get!

I am from the UK, but I live and work in Curitiba in the south of Brazil. I have found that students are often very interested in how things are done in different countries...
This means that cultural awareness was a part of my teaching long before the current obsession with doing everything with technology. I am a firm believer in using technolgoy when it offers something different and there is a storng pedagogigcal case for doing so. All too often people use the latest high-tech gizmo just for the sake of using it.
However, technology has opened up certain ways of raising cultural awareness that perhaps weren't there before.

Wayne Law Alumna Navigates Winding Road, Finds Rewarding Career in Immigration Law
DETROIT (Jan. 4, 2010) – To say that Patricia Ice took the long way to arrive at her career as an immigration attorney is a bit of an understatement. But certainly all her varied academic and professional experiences were pointing her toward a career helping people from other cultures. She has worked across the country and around the world from Las Vegas to northern Michigan and from Africa to the Caribbean. She has degrees in history, linguistics, library and information science, as well as a J.D. In addition to practicing law, she has taught English, been a college advisor and worked as a librarian.
Ice received her J. D. from Wayne State University Law School in 1979 but didn't begin practicing law until 1992.
"It took me 13 years after I graduated law school to figure out how I was going to use my law degree," she said. "All of that time I was searching."
In 1983, after a few years dabbling in several legal offices, Ice joined the U.S. Peace Corps and went to the Republic of Benin, West Africa, where she taught English and history. When she returned from Africa, she worked as a recruiter in the now-defunct Peace Corps Detroit office. She then went on to earn an M.A. in linguistics from Ohio University and worked in a refugee camp in the Philippines as an English-teaching supervisor. She also taught English in Haiti (surviving the 1991 coup d'etat) and Honduras on a United States Information Agency grant. It was after that she realized how to combine her passion for helping people from other countries and cultures with her law degree. She decided to pursue a career in immigration law.
Still, her career path took a few more twists and turns before she arrived at her current place of employment, the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance (MIRA). Her first immigration case was in Detroit in 1994, working from an office owned by Dr. Roberta Hughes Wright, a lawyer, writer and widow of Dr. Charles Wright. Ice then went to work as an assistant prosecutor in Antrim County, Michigan before serving as an assistant district attorney in Hobbs, N.M. In 1997, she returned to Wayne State University and earned a master's degree in library and information science.
It was that degree that took her down south, to the Mississippi College School of Law Library. She began volunteering for the MIRA and met founder – and future husband – Bill Chandler at the MIRA's second meeting in 2001.
In 2006, Ice became the director of MIRA's Legal Project and has found it to be one of the most demanding yet rewarding work experiences she has had thus far.
"Sometimes I feel burned out due to the magnitude of the clients' problems, but then I take a deep breath or a vacation and I count my blessings and go back to work," she said. "Every time I help a client obtain lawful permanent residence and/or naturalization I feel very good about my work."
She added, "I also feel content when I help an immigrant crime victim get a U-visa to stay in the U.S. to fight the case. I have a client who was the victim of a brutal rape last year; she has received U-visa status and her assailant is in custody, has been indicted and will be put to trial soon. Often in Mississippi no one who civilly or criminally injures an immigrant is ever brought to justice."
Currently, Ice is working on termination and suppression motions that MIRA filed in the New Orleans immigration court on behalf of some former Howard Industries, Inc. workers who were arrested on Aug. 25, 2008, in the largest single worksite enforcement raid in the history of U.S. immigration.
Though there are some unique challenges involved in immigration cases, such as, according to Ice, certain evidence not being suppressible, she is fulfilled by her work and looks forward to a long legal career.
"I often look at the road I have traveled as an African-American woman who left her beloved hometown of Detroit, went to Mississippi alone with no family members in the state," Ice said. "It has been an interesting, incredible experience."

Rock Racer Rolls with Widia
Global tooling manufacturer, Widia, will sponsor the Ultra 4 ultimate class racecar driven by David Buchberger for the 2012-2013 season.
Ultra 4 Unlimited class racing combines the speed and agility of hi-speed desert racing with a stiff and strong car for rock climbing.
Global tooling manufacturer, Widia, will sponsor the Ultra 4 ultimate class racecar driven by David Buchberger for the 2012-2013 season. This sponsorship is actually in the "family" in that David Buchberger also serves as vice president of Hi-Speed Corporation (Thousand Oaks, CA), which is a distributor for Widia-brand products and services.
Ultra 4 racing is a combination of high-speed desert racing and extremely hazardous rock crawling, using the same vehicle. The defining characteristic of the Ultra 4 class is that all cars must be capable of four-wheel drive. Beyond that, the class is unlimited.
All cars are custom-fabricated which, owing to the unlimited nature of the class, results in a variety of shapes and sizes. It's a demanding design challenge as each car must straddle the line between light and quick for desert racing with stiff and strong for rock climbing.
Each February the Ultra 4 series runs the King of Hammers race, considered by many to be the toughest race on the planet. Competitors must complete a 165-mile course in less than 14 hours.
The Widia sponsorship of Mr. Buchberger gives him financial support and a real life example of applying the cutting tools he distributes.

Ruff was traded to the Rangers on March 7, 1989, which meant that his 13 games with the Rangers occurred after Laviolette had been returned to the Rangers' farm team in Colorado. "Was that true? Was Lindy on the team at the same time I was?" Laviolette asked Friday. "I think I was already up and down. I had my cup of coffee and was on my return trip to Denver. That was it for me, 12 games. I don't remember much of Lindy Ruff."'

Discussion in 'January 2014' started by roscoe36, Oct 21, 2013.
Sloppy game. Unbelievably low amount of assists.
First, the main problem. Singler. Minus 17 until Jennings put in a couple of meaningless layups in the closing seconds of the game. Singler gave up tons of points directly, and lots more by completely opting out of ever being part of our front line defense, when playing as the small forward. And Singler played starters minutes. This coach is totally missing what is going on. Singler comes in, and things like interior D and 2nd chance points go away. And did we need Singler? Harrellson came on for Drummond a bit and did just fine. And he came back in for him again and we went on a 9-2 run. After that, Singler comes in and all good things end. Singler was rather quickly down minus 20 for the game toward the beginning of the 4th quarter. We got a little closer with him still in, but that was a bunch of heroics by other players, nothing at all Singler did. Yes, Singler did hit that 3, but notice, Dallas was not even pretending to guard him on that play. They know the drill, Singler almost never hits more than one triple in a game. Spending time guarding him is a waste, and all teams know it. Just our coach has not been given the memo. For some unknown reason to me at this point, Drummond was pulled immediately to start the 2nd half for Harrellson. Until that point, we went with a 7 man rotation. No Bynum, so Singler can not use Bynum as an excuse for yet another heavily negative game. But Kudos to coach at least for actually using Stuckey as the point. It was not great, but him playing some point did not hurt us, and that is what you hope from your backup point. Was Dallas that good really? During the 16 minutes Singler was not on the floor, we were plus 3. Not to be funny. Being serious. Coach would drop us down to a one man rotation if he could. And that one man would be Singler. Coach is going entirely in the wrong direction by shortenting his rotation, while keeping Singler in it. Jennings, Monroe, and Smith all had 20 points or better. Starting unit is playing just fine. Its our bench that is the problem, specifically, Singler's defense. In this game, it was totally embarrassing for Piston fans who watched the game, and saw us put Singler on real NBA players like Dirk and Vince. What nonsense. Do not like it one bit to see us lose by playing weakly to the point of involving Singler in any way in the game. I do not like horrid, non= existent defense one bit. And that is what Singler plays.
The play of the night to me was Josh Smirh subbing back in to the game with 5 minutes to go and wincing when he told Monroe he was coming in for him. This was after Smith, the games leading scorer, had sat out the entire 4th Q. Are we sure Cheecks isn't trying to lose? Maybe Harrelson should sub for Drummond regularly? Coach Cheecks pulled Drummond early in the 2nd half so he could learn the Pistons way "coming out of timeouts". Drummond traveled coming out of a timeout later in the game so it looks like the lesson took. It's amazing how quickly he picks things up for a young player! KCP!!!
It's amazing how many times this year that Special K is mentioning how the Pustons need to do X if they're going to make a run while they're in the process of allowing X to happen.
I flipped back and forth between the Grammys and the Pistons game and I have to agree that the defense with Singler in there looked pretty bad..he couldn't stop Dirk or Vinsanity.. Plus...those who thought we should be playing all those scrubs...their bench outscored ours 46-22 as the S & S club were 7-22 shooting for 20 pts. They were both blocked 3 times each and it seems like each time the Mavs took the ball down to the other end to score bucket.....for those keeping score that was a 24 point swing....
It great for the casual basketball fan who wants to watch Dirk swishing open jumpshots. Drummond had an unusually bad game tonight. 4/6 in 26 minutes. Ugly. Josh Smith needs to get a new trigger mechanism because he can't control the recoil when it is set to automatic. Monroe obviously had a pretty good game, can't really comment because I didn't get to watch it - I decided that getting covered in old gearbox oil was a more worthwhile endeavour. Could people who watched the game please give me a bit of a recap on how Jennings played??
For a short stretch in the third Jennings was on a mission dishing and scoring as the Pistons put on one of their twice a game runs that never-ever happen in crunch time. But then Stuckey and Smith decided it was their turn to shoot, they missed a couple of shots, it cooled him off and he was back to normal and the uncertainty of what he was supposed to do with ball ruled its ugly head. A late third quarter 77-77 tie turned into a 89-81 deficit 2 minutes into the 4th, and the game was over in my opinion.
Here is the magical trailing 20 game +/- that you're fond of (per 36):-2.6: Jennings-2.7: Harrellson-2.9: KC Pope-2.9: Monroe-3.3: Smith-6.3: Singler-7.0: Drummond-8.7: Stuckey-10.3: BynumTeam average during this stretch is -4.5. If you look at the 20 games before that, it's basically flip flopped with the bench outperforming the starters (but Drummond still an outlier). With Drummond on the floor during this stretch we are -124 in 639 minutes. With him on the bench, we are +6 in 321 minutes. It's strange. Presumably that success came with bench members in there, but all bench players are negative over this stretch, so it's not that simple. While nobody comes off very well, it certainly doesn't paint the picture of one individual single handedly towing down an organization. Drummond's figures add up to a huge deficit because of all the minutes that he gets, but I'm not ready to reduce that playing time. We have problems Lee.Bench guards have been a major failure over this stretch. Tonight, we were +2 with Jennings on the court and -12 in only 10 minutes without him (and with Stuckey manning the point).Drummond for the most part has been posting huge stats, but isn't leading us to even adequate team defense. He's increasingly wasting offensive rebounds by forcing up bad putbacks or turning it over trying to put the ball on the floor (but man can he board!)Pope is playing solid D, but has extremely low usage and isn't even shooting for a good average on his tight selection (only eFG of .005 better than Charlie V). This is a position that normally gets massive offensive production for a team.Josh Smith is about to set the record for worst shooter ever in an NBA season.We are the 4th worst FT shooting team since 1970 (that means 4th out of more than 1,200 teams!). Even tonight, we had the same number of FTAs as Dallas and made 7 less in a 10 point loss.We're about the worst 3-point shooting team and the worst at guarding the 3-point line (may be the worst still, but I haven't checked lately). Our two best 3-point shooters are Josh Harrellson and Will Bynum, which is pathetic.Monroe is getting destroyed at the arc by stretch 4's.We're not well coached enough to guard P&Rs.Jennings shoots a lousy percentage and has a terrible conversation rate in the paint and draws very few FTs in the half court set. Still shoots too many fadeaways and ball hogs in the 4th quarters.Bynum is getting shot over like a 5'11" blocko inflatable.Smith and Jennings are both shooting significantly worse eFGs than Charlie Villanueva, who himself is at a career low.If Cheeks isn't going to make the team better through coaching, then he may as well shake up the rotation and hope for triple 7's. At this point, I'm even down with trying Siva off the bench with Jerebko, Mitchell, Villanueva, and Jorts. What do we have to lose? It's not going to work, but I don't think that the current method is about to break out either. Ideally, we can get a real starting SF. Until then, it's a guy who leads the team in attempts and shoots worse than Charlie Villanueva's worst ever season.
Stats are one thing. Watching each game is another. Singler is the guy whose play is consistently too poor to find any excuse for him to be in the game. A half here and there, he does ok, makes his defensive contributions as expected, maybe even scores some points. But for the most part, his defense is best described as opted out, or in so many cases, incapable of doing the job given to him. Last night, in the Dallas game, Singler opted out of over a dozen plays where he should have tried at least to contribute some interior D. In addition, he was often seen completely failing to guard Dirk or Vince, two things he is incapable of, and in fact, nobody in the NBA, except apparently our coach, would ask Singler to do. Dallas seemed very pleased to have Singler in there for 32 minutes so they could attack him over and over as their primary play. With Bynum not in the game to pick on, Singler, as they say, stuck out like a sore thumb. PS, your data matches mine pretty much, I just put it out there per minute, rather than per 36 minutes. Drummond is the outlier, and I know why. He is the guy the coach picks on whenever our starting unit falters, which means he has minus outings locked in over and over whereas the other starters get to stay out there and fight back.
I should try watching a game. Sounds like it adds another dimension. So in summary, all the guys behind ks are getting screwed by playing with him, so much so that it affects their play when he's not there. Drummond is getting screwed by playing with him too, even though the team is playing winning bball when he's on the bench. I'd hate to be your red headed step child.
I cant understand why this team is as bad as it is until I see the names on the jerseys. Josh Smith will never be a prime time player but if he is your highest paid player, the team will always be mediocre. This guy is Darth lebron. The Dark Side. You look at the stats and see 25 points-you look closer and see ON 24 SHOTS!!!!! They both came straight out of high school=One has been to the Finals 4 times, the Dark side guy-o times. Smith and Jennings (another high schooler ) are of the same ilk. This team is what they are because of who they are.
Perhaps if Mo Cheeks didn't play Kyle Singler, then all of the problems you speak of would simply go away?
I completely agree....if those 2 guys are your alphas.....you're screwed. One of them has to go.....I vote for Jennings.
I like how Cheeks has created an offense based on lack of motion. I think he must have set it up for BupBup. Watching Monroe chase Dirk around screens was kind of fun. With this team you have to take your jollies where you can get them.
Watching the Milwaukee game, I was reminded of what we gave up and I don't mind the trade because Knight stank in a way that is almost spectacular. Jennings passes better. But if you're going to dominate the ball, at least get into the lane once in a while. Calderon abused our PnR defense. Calderon. He's not that fast. We rely too much on hero ball.
Calderon is an efficient dude on offense.
Especially if his defender runs into the screen. We don't show hard. Don't fight. We may switch.
Ding, ding, ding! And we have an unfortunate lack of heroes.
Drummond got pulled in the second half twice. That was weird. He looked disgusted, disinterested etc. Henry Bibby went over to talk to him.
Drummond wasn't running the play correctly. They pulled him, talked to him about it, and then put him right back into the game. Dallas 116, Detroit 106: Pistons' Andre Drummond struggles, then declines to talk about it | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

Atlanta • Federal prosecutors say two prison inmates have been found guilty in a racially motivated murder at a facility in Atlanta.
Authorities say 53-year-old Donald R. LaFond Jr. of New Bedford, Mass., and 35-year-old Jason Robert Widdison, of Morgan, Utah, beat another inmate to death in March of 2011.
Officials say the victim — who was also white — refused to comply with white supremacist prison gang code when he declined to protest having a black cellmate.
Prosecutors say the victim was attacked when he tried making conversation with LaFond and Widdison while they were exercising. The two began punching the victim and stomped his head and neck after he fell to the ground. The victim died nearly a month after the attack.

Hi everyone,
I was trying to compile Kontroller Lab and got the following error when running the ./configure script
I figured it was because i didn't have the dev tools so i tried to install kdelibs-dev from the repositories and got the following broken package error.Code:checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix!
I also tried installing kdelibs4-dev and got a similar error. I'm not sure if installing kdelibs5-dev is a good idea because afaik it's for KDE4. If I try to do that, it tries to install lots of dependencies and I have a feeling I'll break things.Code:apt-get install kdelibs-dev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Note, selecting kdelibs4-dev instead of kdelibs-dev Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdelibs4-dev: Depends: kdelibs4c2a (= 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu6.2) but 4:3.5.100~0ubuntu1 is to be installed Depends: libarts1-dev (>= 1.5.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
Note: I've found a .deb for Kontroller Lab but still think it would be very helpful to be able to compile KDE apps.

'I don't get it. The Sabres were the best team in the league in the regular season and play a style that should help the league sell the game. Television ratings in Buffalo, a hockey town among several that have kept this league alive, are through the roof, and Sabres' merchandise sales are tops in the league. They're buying it in Buffalo, and it should play in Peoria, too. And yet when it comes time to present this team, this great story, to the country, the Sabres are treated like annoying relatives you hope decide to go home early, if only you ignore them.'

Also on KANSAS CITY WEEK IN REVIEW:
Friday, October 11th, 2013 at 7:30pm and rebroadcast, Sunday, October 13th at 11:00 am:
Streetcar unveiled…
Another design reveal this week as Kansas City gets its first chance to see what the new downtown streetcar will look like as the Mayor unveils the new design at the First Friday's event.
The city expects to buy four cars at a total cost of $20 million. Each car holds about 145 passengers. The pricetag for the whole streetcar system is expected to be around $100 million on the 2- mile route running from the river market to close to Union Station primarily along Main St.
What's the verdict on the new design?
Protecting young local athletes from concussions….
This week, the PBS investigative series Frontline took you inside the closed world of the NFL in a two-hour expose, League of Denial: The NFL's Concussion Crisis. We follow up on the Frontline series by examining how concussions are impacting middle and high school football players in Kansas City.
KCPT has formed a unique reporting partnership with KCTV5 to tackle the issue. Stacey Cameron has done some of the metro's most extensive reporting on the concussion issue. He was freed up along with videographer Courtney Hulsey to team with KCPT to conduct original reporting around the Frontline series.
On this edition of KCWIR, hear from bereaved parents who've lost their children to football injuries and we examine whether regulations governing school sports in Kansas and Missouri do enough to protect young athletes.
From worst to first…
The Chiefs are on a roll. Now 5-0, the Kansas City Chiefs are just one of three teams in the NFL with a no loss record this season. And according to the statistical buffs, in the last 23 years 90 percent of NFL teams that started 5-0 reached the post-season.
Even if you're not a sports fan, what does a winning football team do to the overall well-being of a city?

Discussion in 'Chevy Corvette Forum' started by ChevyFan, Jan 15, 2013.
Short and sweet, here are some photos for the new 2014 Chevy Corvette.
More 2014 Corvette Photos ...
I'm glad they brought back the Stingray. Looks just fine to me.
I really like it also, but I might be in the minority on this one. I have been reading for days, and the die hards seem to hate it. People still complaining about the non pop up headlights, and lack of round tailights. But on this car round taillights wont work. The rear end is to shardly angled, round lights would look funny. What I really like is that every angle, every vent and air deflector has purpose. The new vette is sharp, but again... I am not obsessed with the vette heritage, but I do respect it. Just take a step back and look at the car as a whole. It has very clean lines, very even weight distribution, and a whole lot of power under that hood! If I could ever afford one I would buy one in a heart beat. Things change, its inevitable, but GM continues to work in the old with the new. They cant keep everything forever.
Well, to the "haters", I would say: if you like the original style so much, then why don't you buy one of those? You'll get a car that rattles, squeaks, gets cracks from driving it around, and makes lots of noise. And does not go as fast or handle anywhere near what these do. The new ones are in a totally different galaxy, as they should be. The style has to be fresh, not borrowed.
I am also a bit dissappointed by the lack of round tail lights, they should've designed rear end with that in mind. But I guess, new times, new Corvette and all... Overall I am impressed!
Hows the Leg room??? :neutral::neutral:

Less than a week after receiving its 22nd consecutive NCAA Regional bid, the Tennessee women's golf team received additional good news Friday, as senior Chessey Thomas earned second-team All-SEC status.
The Southeastern Conference announced its annual Women's Golf Awards on Friday, which were voted on by the league's 14 head coaches. The All-SEC honor is the first of Thomas' collegiate career.
"This is really exciting news," Thomas said. "I'm really honored. I think my finish at the SEC Tournament proved I can play with anyone. I'm looking forward to going back home to Washington for the NCAA West Regional."
The native of Spokane, Wash., was the top finishing Lady Vol in seven of the team's ten tournaments. Thomas led the Lady Vols in stroke average (73.88) and had five top 25 finishes on the season, including a victory at the Lady Bulldog Individual.
"I'm so proud of Chessey being named second team All-SEC," head coach Judi Pavon said. "She has had a great senior season so far and to be recognized as one of the best players in the SEC is a huge accomplishment."
Thomas will lead the Lady Volunteers into Cle Elum, Wash., for the NCAA West Regional May 8-10.

Over the course of last season, we ran a series of features in the Official Matchday Programme with some Arsenal-supporting London 2012 Olympic hopefuls. We continue with sitting volleyball star Rob Richardson...
Sitting volleyball is a one of the most fast-paced and exciting Paralympic sports, and Great Britain are skippered by Arsenal supporter Rob Richardson.
Played using volleyball rules by two teams of six on a 10m x 6m indoor court divided by a 1.15m net, sitting volleyball has made giant leaps over recent years with funding to the fore, and the men's team now have a realistic chance of competing for a medal at London 2012.
First things first, why Arsenal Rob?
My dad [Brian Richardson], played cricket for Warwickshire and his older brothers, Peter and Dick, also played professionally – they were the first brothers to play together for England.Uncle Peter played many times for his country and was Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1957. He was a good friend of Denis Compton and brought him home for Sunday lunch one day when my dad was about 13 or 14.
Compton was so famous it must have been like taking David Beckham home for tea and with Denis being an Arsenal player, my dad decided the Gunners were for him and he passed that support down to me and I grew up going down to Highbury with dad and my brother.
Early Arsenal memories?
Mickey Thomas scoring at Anfield and my dad giving me a little bit of champagne to celebrate – I was eight! My mum always reminds me that I used to dance around a coffee table in the front room with a football, pretending to be Mickey Thomas. I think the player I loved the most in my early days was Anders Limpar though, he had such flair and scored some amazing goals.
The thing I remember most about my first game when I was very young was Daley Thompson! We were in a hospitality box at Highbury for a game and I remember him being in the next box and I was very excited about that! It must have been in the early 1990s, I can't even remember who we played.
But my absolute highlight as a kid was the League Cup Final in 1993. I was standing with my brother next to the Wembley steps when the players came down with the trophy. I'd just had an operation to have my leg lengthened and was on crutches. As the players came down the steps they saw me and thought 'let's celebrate with this poor kid on crutches'. People like Merse and Wrighty were hugging me and high-fiving, it was an amazing experience.
How did you become involved with sitting volleyball?
I was born with a deformity to my right leg and had lots of operations as a child. When I was 15 the doctors said to me that to keep my foot it could take ten operations in ten years or I could have one operation to amputate my foot.
I was really into sport, playing football and also cricket for Surrey juniors but I wasn't as mobile as the other lads and it was getting worse so I said 'what's going to get me playing football and cricket again' and I decided to have the amputation. After that I just tried to fit in with my friends and was playing football again and it was only when the announcement was made that we'd won the games in 2005 that people said 'why don't you try and get involved?'
I hadn't been involved in any Paralympic sport but got in touch with the British Paralympic Association. I had a tenuous link to volleyball because I had taken time out after school to go to Australia and had played there, though to be honest it was more about being around the girls! Anyway they said they were just starting up the sport and I came in at the very beginning which was a trial in a shack in Uxbridge!
What are the rules and what position do you play?
I'm a 'setter', basically the little lad who knocks it up for the big blokes to smash – we've got guys in the side who are 6'7" and 6'9". I like to see myself as the Dennis Bergkamp role, creating for others – I'm not sure my teammates quite see it like that!
I've played every international since we started and have 57 caps now and became captain last year. The rules are the same as standing volleyball except you have to always keep part of your backside on the floor. It's difficult initially because you have to retrain your brain as your instinct is to push yourself up towards the ball. It's a great game though, and very inclusive, you don't need a wheelchair, just a net and a ball and kids love it.
I'm an ambassador for Sainsbury's and I was at Sainsbury's Super Saturday on Clapham Common recently and 300 kids came and played our sport which is getting on the map now and that's really exciting.
Have GB come a long way since you started?
We've made unbelievable strides. There are 56 teams in the world and when I started we were dead last but now we've broken into the top ten and are ninth in the world. Funding has allowed us to train more than any other team and we've made great progress and the structure is now in place for us to qualify for the Rio Games and beyond.
Realistically, Iran and Bosnia are strong favourites for gold and silver this year but if we get a good draw out of our group, we can really aim for bronze. It surprises people that Bosnia and Iran dominate but Paralympian sport works like this sometimes. The conflict in Bosnia and the Iran/Iraq war meant many people became disabled with low amputations from landmines. Bosnia are basically a team of 6'9" former soldiers.
We are playing in the Excel Centre where the boxing is in the Olympics. The capacity is 8,000, which is pretty scary. At the world championships this year in the US there were 2,500 and we played the US so that was pretty spicy – it was nice to win that one. There will be great expectations on us, which is something we have already spoken about dealing with.
